Started Tuesday, anyone been listening? I'm lucky if I can get three correct, whereas on the normal Pop Master I'd say I'm an 18-21 average.
A lady from Cardiff was in the lead after day two, but she's fallen behind a bit.
Anyone on here been on or tried to get on Pop Master?
I would be lucky to get 4.Quote:

Our dear departed friend Dr Pop (Mark Watkins), I think won it one year, not sure.
But I think he definitely got to the final 2.
Maybe someone else got a better memory of it
I tried to get on once but no joy. However I did win a RW brolly on Jason Mohammed’s Quizbreak......isn’t google wonderful!
What's the criteria when you ring up? I'm guessing they ask you a few music questions and if you've met anyone famous or have any funny stories etc.Quote:

The one bloke was shit hot today, only had his 7 point question wrong.
He was amazing.Quote:

Someone scored 91 today :yikes:
Perhaps Mr 86 wont reach the final.
He was excellent yesterday. What about Ken buggering it up today eh, thinking the blind cricketer had got 86, it was the contestant who actually corrected him, telling Ken he only had 85.Quote:

They start on the scores they’ve got, so one will be 5 ahead.Quote:

I normally get 20-30 but these people this past week have been sheer anoraks.
The finalists today were just from another planet; a planet where thankfully I do not live.:shrug:
...today's questions went up two notches in difficulty..
I got one out of the twenty correct and that was a guess :hehe:
Not one contestant had a 'year question' wrong throughout the tournament! That's impressive in a geeky sort of way.
