The role is The Doctor. The show is Doctor Who.

I don't understand how that is a nitty ruling.

Fair enough, although personally I'd still allow Dr who. I await the ruling.

it was pretty obvious the doctor should be right and dr who wrong

tho for number ten i thought the answer should be 0 since they are luftballons in the original

It all depends on if you want your game to be about nitty specifics or general knowledge!

fwiw, I knew rome's airport was leonardo da vinci- xxxxxxx and couldn't think of the xxxxxxx. I've traveled extensively in Europe and nobody calls the rome airport by leonardo da vinci; they call it fiumicino, and I thought that was obv the part of the name we needed for the airport..

Like amsterdam is schipol, nyc is la guardia, rome is fiumicino etc. I am skeptical of the leo da vinci counting but not needing fiumicino. :/

Question 8 our team is calling BS on, the way it was asked was to ambiguous to answer,technically speaking vertebrate is a correct answer. It should be tossed for the vague way it was worded.

X-nerd you had me until you said La Guardia is NYC, its has like 2 airports ( JFK) which is by far the bigger airport and a major hub.

But I will say she is correct no one call's the Rome airport by Da Vinci , it similar to how no one calls John Wayne Airport anything but Orange County...

No. That's angle shooting. I think it can be assumed that something more specific than 'vertebrate' or 'invertebrate' is required.

GO TEAM BRITAIN! No thanks to me

Oh, a sighting of the classic 'anyone doing better than me must be cheating' argument. I figured it'd be a couple of days before that came up.

On a side note, Rome's airport is a dumpster fire.

Its a bad question that's terribly worded. One of us actually thought it might be a snake ( I thought it was a bug of sorts personally)! But with the wording we couldn't tell if that would be correct.
If it was "required" then it should of been asked in a way that made that clear is our point.
