Chris saw the Queen on an ordinary Tuesday
Chris arrived unusually excited after spotting a police convoy near the station.
Then the window came down and he realised Queen Elizabeth II was travelling past.
She was making one of her public appearances connected with the opening of the new Elizabeth line.
Chris loves a convoy at the best of times, so unexpectedly seeing the Queen turned a normal journey into the highlight of his day before the show had even begun.
Brother or Lover produced a spectacular wrong answer
The new game introduced Ryan and Grant.
Ryan drove trucks, while Grant worked at Tate Modern.
Scott and Chris questioned them about emergency contacts, meals out, holidays and how much they knew about one another.
Several answers sounded extremely close.
Ryan described Grant as his go-to person.
They knew each other’s food orders.
A discussion about Grant’s feet somehow made the relationship sound even more intimate.
Most of the team locked in lovers.
Only a minority thought they sounded like siblings.
Then came the reveal.
They were brothers.
Not only brothers, but part of a set of triplets.
Scott refused to believe it for several seconds because the pair had managed to make ordinary sibling closeness sound exactly like romance.
It became one of the clearest demonstrations yet of why the game worked.
Amy’s old painting story distracted everybody
During the interrogation, producer Amy revealed that an ex-boyfriend used to paint portraits of the women he dated.
That included Amy posing for him.
Scott and Chris immediately became more interested in locating this lost artwork than in the game they were supposed to be playing.
They were fascinated by the idea that somewhere, years later, an ex could still have a painted portrait from an old relationship.
Could you milk a cockroach?
The quiz moved on to Can You Milk It?
The basic question was whether various creatures produced something which could technically count as milk.
The first animal was a cockroach.
The quiz claimed some cockroaches produced a milk-like substance, sending Scott and Chris into an argument about the practicalities of trying to milk something that small.
The phrase “can you milk it?” then became increasingly funny simply through repetition.
It was exactly the kind of low-level nonsense Chris admitted appealed to him most.
