  1. If I were going to go on the show, I think I would have to choose one of the following:
    Dr Who – Modern Era.
    Taskmaster – Happy to go international, but will focus on Australia if it helps.
    Tom Gleeson – I mean, surely this needs to happen. (I won’t get many points, but…)

  2. Surprisingly no one has had Michael Jackson and Home & Away for their expert topic. Would Simpsons Movie be allowed? Some contestants have used films for their subject.
