The questions for this show are written by professional quiz designer and writer David Bodycombe, and when he's writing, he has no idea who's appearing on the show. In hindsight, though, opening with a series of quickfire pop culture questions may not have been the best starting point for Ashens' crew...

Most people would get three or four but the total was actually six.

Also a very vague question really, I was wondering what kind of answer would be accepted. Would consonant, vowel, semi-vowel be what he's looking for, or would it be noun, verb, adjectives, or maybe palate, velum and labia. Or it could be any of them perhaps. Personally I think the question was too vague.
