Andy causes controversy with his use of “one” as a pro-form

Andy misreads the final line of the task brief as “You have a maximum of 10 wickets”, proving that he really is always thinking about cricket.

As Andy leaves the stage, he identifies the teapot which has appeared on the screen, followed by the “horsey”. As he works his way along the second row of seats, he misidentifies the egg cup as a “teacup”, and is corrected by Alex, but then claims that he drinks tea out of egg cups.

Andy then works his way towards the rear of the cinema, counting the number of rows of seating, before identifying the house and then the robin.

As he is crossing a row of seating, he identifies the on-screen eagle. When Alex asks him if he likes eagles, Andy responds “Couldn’t eat a whole one” (note: this caused some controversy among viewers, with many claiming that “one” should have counted as his answer for the task; however, Alex Horne released a video response to this after the episode, clarifying that Andy had been using the word as a pro-form in this context).

Andy then identifies the robot (noting that it is his “nemesis”) before making his way back up onto the stage and asking “How can I tell if there’s chairs in those booths?”. He then appears to go and check around the back of the cinema screen, before returning to the stage and announcing that there are no additional chairs there. Andy gives his answer as 328.

In the studio, after it is revealed that there were five tiny chairs along the front of the stage that no-one had spotted, Andy claims that he did see them, but “didn’t want to stoop to your fucking level”.

Alex reveals that Andy had only missed identifying four of the items which had appeared on the screen, and that his total completion time, taking penalties into account, was 13 minutes and 19 seconds. This earns him 4 points.
