They had one where you had to name tube stations in zone 1 a while ago as well. I think Lambeth North was one of the pointless answers.

I'd've gone for Aldgate East. Noone seems to know where that is. Except everyone here, of course.

Yeah, I tried to add a link to the specific time but it wouldn't let me...

I would have gone for Ickenham, Eastcote and Osterley. Surprised only one of them was pointless.

Yeah I thought Osterley would be one. I did say Elm Parl though.

I went for Eastcote, after coming up with that answer I was too excited to come up with another two. :P Dad, who was watching with me went for Osterley. I was glad to beat him. On the Zone One challenge, I went for Euston Square, Aldgate East, and, ahem, Kensington (Olympia) :/Although embarrasing to get a wrong answer, at least 2/3 were pointless!

I watch the show frequently, brilliant, although a reasonable number of questions don't interest me.

Termination points! (37:16)

I'm shocked they won. I would have won, making 3/3 Tube pointless rounds that I would have won the jackpot for. :D
