There's been some belters over the last few years. I am surprised there isn't an hour long funny answer compilation. There's at least one a week on 'The Chase' alone.

Finished 2nd though so least I wasn't a total failure haha. They wouldn't let me wear claret and blue so I opted for just claret instead.
