Kinda got outta the habit of watching but settling in to watch the new season starting tonight.

I know a while back there was a core of mn fans and a regular thread.

Hoping this one will be as welcome.

Tonight's teams Scrubs v Librarians

Who's looking forward to watching?

Thanks for posting!

I knew it was coming but I didn't realise it was today

Off to start watching delayed live on iPlayer, so it's possible I might not be back on the thread until I've watched itnall.

Questions are usually easier in the early rounds, so I'm hoping I shall shortly be feeling smug and clever!

Graphista · 12/07/2021 20:21

Thanks for replying and displacing the tumbleweed

I agree earlier rounds easier I'm well out of practice and doing ok so far

Evening! I only got the Roberts and the deceitful people on that wall…
My forte is missing vowels though

Graphista · 12/07/2021 20:26

Missing vowels is the easy one!

In order of difficulty I'd say

Missing vowels
The wall
Round 1 connections
What's 4th I think is hardest

Graphista · 12/07/2021 20:29

Tiebreaker!! Ooh tense!

I'll do MUCH worse with the next show - uni challenge! I consider myself doing very well on that if I get 2 correct answers!

Loved it. Very good.

ChampagneCommunist · 12/07/2021 20:40

There where some hard ones for a first round match!

AuntieStella · 12/07/2021 20:43

I got a fair few, or was on the right track if I didn't completely get them.

Didn't have a clue about the tie breaker at the end!

SometimesIFeedTheSparrows · 12/07/2021 20:51

I got about 4 questions and three connections on the first wall No idea about the tie break though.

Graphista · 12/07/2021 21:00

I got 4 in the 1st round, lost my way a bit in what's 4th as I always do, was shouting "they're all roberts" at the wall and did ok on the missing vowels but was tripped up by the tricky place names ones - I'm out of practice.

puzzgrid.com/ Good for practicing walls.

Graphista · 12/07/2021 22:00

I do the wall in the radio times too

Helenluvsrob · 12/07/2021 22:05

Yay !!!!

LaurieSchafferIsAllBitterNow · 12/07/2021 22:11

i got the second wall completely right!

Usually get three themes and can see which ones might go where, so I'd be shushing my team mates and pressing all the buttons

Hdhdjejdj · 12/07/2021 22:13

Did pretty well. Got the first question due to recognising Lark ascending.

MrsFin · 12/07/2021 22:48

I thought both walls were difficult this evening. Particularly the first one.

Hdhdjejdj · 12/07/2021 23:36

I thought the walls were tough then wondered if that part of my brain is just a bit rusty

ToffeeNotCoffee · 13/07/2021 08:47

I got the signs of the zodiac question after two or three clues. (Smug)

I also got the Roberts in the first wall. (Smug again)

Except for the ones where I didn't have a scooby.

Buggerthebotox · 13/07/2021 10:07

A clash in programmes for me but so glad it's back (as is University Challenge?).

Somehow watching OC in the summer with the sunlight still blazing is all kinds of wrong though...

Thanks to the poster who put up the link to the Wall exercise. Will try to get some practice in before the real thing next week.

Graphista · 13/07/2021 16:05

I think we'll all be a bit rusty at the moment - we'll improve as the weeks go on. Except of course it gets harder too - we're screwed Confused

If a team of mners went on what would the team be called?

AuntieStella · 13/07/2021 16:09

Graphista · 13/07/2021 17:42
