It&#8217;s just shy of 27 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>And for those who are interested, a couple of show notes. Note that these contain SPOILERS, so you should probably listen to the show first:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>This was meant to happen towards the end of last month but everyone involved was quite busy. The next one will be, fingers crossed, end of January.<\/li>\n<li>I&#8217;ve just noticed this has been exported in higher quality audio than usual. So that&#8217;s a nice Christmas bonus for you.<\/li>\n<li>Our contestants were the lovely Caroline and Ronald Stewart.<\/li>\n<li>If the opening conversation seems a bit more stilted than normal, that&#8217;s because I forgot to set Audacity going until the category reveal so I had to recreate my bits in post. All the contestants chat comes from MP3 Skype Recorder, which wasn&#8217;t *brilliant* in this instance but will usually\u00a0do. It&#8217;s certainly easier to edit.<\/li>\n<li>The mystery category. I thought it would be quite a fun idea to have a category for each contestant that they won&#8217;t know what it is but also would be different for each other. Because this ending is so exciting\u00a0I forget to reveal that this episode it was hairy\/bald people, it might be more interesting to have a more oblique connection next time, we&#8217;ll see. As an idea it will be staying.<\/li>\n<li>I&#8217;ve changed the time up effect to the one off of <strong>Bob&#8217;s Full House<\/strong>. This was the closest I could get to a clean version in the time I had.<\/li>\n<li>The tie-break was genuinely made up on the spot after glancing across a bookshelf\u00a0which is actually a ridiculous state of affairs. Happily I think it worked out OK. The new bed I created for it is more shrill than I thought.<\/li>\n<li>Water rat\/water vole is unfortunate.<\/li>\n<li>A thing that TV&#8217;s David Bodycombe bought up after the last recording is wondering if it would be interesting to look at the results and see what the minimum you could have restricted your opponent to with the question ordering. By my reckoning, I\u00a0think both Caroline and Ronald\u00a0could have been restricted to 9 points, Ronald 10 if we accepted his final answer. You basically couldn&#8217;t split these two.<\/li>\n<li>Once again our thanks go to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.quizquizquiz.com\">Quizquizquiz.com<\/a> for setting the questions.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bothersbar.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/The-Line-Up-4.xlsx\">Here is the official spreadsheet<\/a> revealing all the questions\u00a0alongside their difficulties.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ho ho ho!
