December 14^th 2004

Quite a good turn-out this week, but I was surprised how many teams did not know the four planets nearest the sun! However, in the second round everyone scored very well, but again all fell down on one of the car registrations, as I expected! At this point several teams shared the lead, Round three proved the downfall of quite a few teams, especially the good old music round, but ‘Basement Jaxx and the Beanstalk’ took a narrow lead, with ‘The Sna Bas’ in close second. However, in the fourth round ‘Brain Drain’ – back after a few week’s absence – scored very well, and snatched the lead by just 1 point from his ‘Basement Jaxx and the Beanstalk’. In the fifth round it was again 'Brain Drain' who scored the best, but also scoring well were 'Flowerpressers' and ‘The League of Gentlemen’. Then, in the final round 'Brain Drain' again scored very well to secure first place, and 'The Sna Bas’ just snatched 2^nd place from 'Basement Jaxx and the Beanstalk' by just 2 points, with ‘Flowerpressers’ a few points further away in 4^th place. The prize for next-to-last went to ‘Magnet and Steel’
