Just been watching it & noticed an error, but they just kept playing? I thought I had made a mistake, but after watching it again it was an error. :eek:

In the second last letters game before the first break the contestant asked for a 'Consonant' as his last letter. The letter WAS picked from the 'Consonant' pile, but it was the letter 'E'?? :confused

I kept waiting on them picking up on it & maybe replaying that particular round, but they just kept going & no mention of it even at the end?

Anyone else notice it?

Just watched it on C4 on demand. Couldn't see the mistake. Are you sure it is before the first break?

Hi.
I missed the start, so maybe there is more than one break?

If you get to the part where Suzie Dent in dictionary corner is giving her speech on word origins, you've passed it. It is 2 letters games before she does her bit & then it was a break.

Hope that helps?

Got it! How could they not have noticed that. You would think someone would have a puzzled expression on their face. They certainly had plenty Es in that game.
