They may give away answers but it doesn't stop them winning

The return of the Champions League levelled the playing field with a reduced number of teams and a total of five of them only featured two people.

But it remained close and high scoring which was good to see, even with some obscure knowledge being traded between teams. But the the team that always gives away a fake answer in their team name -- this week, it was Peter Beardsley — to take victory by a clear margin, despite going into half time behind.

Second-placed team -- who didn't want to win a Grammy, just the quiz -- gave away their bottle of wine to a second-to-last place first daters Octoballs, so we're hoping they took the wine and took it to the next level after a great quiz. It was a very nice gesture from the Devonshire regulars so, well played to them.

Honourable mentions also go to the rest of the two player teams, especially Quiz Virgins, a Swedish pair playing their first English pub quiz and the others that finished third and joint fourth with high scores.

The jackpot was also tense with two teams getting the first question spot on leading to them being tested again. Coalition of Chaos snatched it and were lucky enough to pick out the right card from a total of eight. They bagged themselves £182, meaning tonight's takings form the pot for next week and now stands at a not unsubstantial £58.
