He did do some practice for fastest finger but you never know what you’ll get on the day. They picked him and the other contestants up at 11am for rehearsals and didn’t film until after 6pm. DH says that they did lots of Fastest Finger practices and he was only first once.
As for the questions...DH is really into history and his job involves sharing this with others. He didn’t get any history questions but don’t know if that was by luck or if they ensure it.
The computer broke down once and the previous contestant’s name and his previous question came up but they realised that straight away,
Jeremy Clarkson was very chatty, he and DH just bounced off each other and made each other laugh, naturally JC was very close to edge with some stuff so lots was cut out. He came in to meet everyone before filming and said to just relax and enjoy it and to use the lifelines if needed. DH liked him but we know from other reports that he can be obnoxious and rude if he’s tired and/or hungry.
The lady who went on after DH was a female plumber and JC said “wow, a female plumber and you’re not Polish” which was obviously cut in the editing suite for obvious reasons.
The Skype interview was fun according to DH, I was out with DS so it was quiet here but he says it was a good laugh.
The one thing that really made me laugh was that when he got to rehearsals the make up and wardrobe girls dismissed all his clothes as not suitable so went out and bought him a new shirt, tee shirt and new shoes. He was obviously too unfashionable for them so they brought him up to date and he got to bring the clothes home. He now says he had £64k out of them and the shirt off their back too.
