What's going on? That link led to the BBC homepage before, now it goes to the iPlayer.

 

[backontrack]

It's just a bit more helpful.

 

[DaleCooper]

Optics, Excalibur beer and Swan Vestas can be found behind the bar in a pub. It would contravene licensing laws to keep paint behind the bar.

 

[backontrack]

Not that either.

Incidentally, where was my mathematical logic in error in the posting that I made?

It wasn't the correct solution. The logic is fine, but Excalibur is not the odd one out.

The channel is relevant.

After one more attempt i'll give y'all a big clue.

I could ask a similar question about my four attempts, you just have to accept that the setter wants a particular answer.

Makes of remote controls? Though they are Optik & Swann. So paint odd one out.

That is also incorrect.

Which is the odd one in this sequence, and why?


Optics, Paint, Excalibur, Swan

That should help steer you in the right direction.

BBC idents except Paint

 

[backontrack]

They are all BBC idents. Which is the odd one out?

I'll give you a clue: what do BBC2 currently use for their idents?

 

[DaleCooper]

Deleted

 

[backontrack]

They are all BBC idents. See above

 

[BurtonM]

edit: they're all BBC2 idents from the 1990s, except Swan which is newer.

 

[backontrack]

They're all BBC2 idents.

Which one has returned to the BBC2 national network between programmes? All of them can be seen on BBC2 NI, but only one on BBC2 in England, Scotland and Wales.

 

[BurtonM]

Paint!

 

[backontrack]

Not quite - you could be thinking of Paint Pot, which is derived from Paint and a jokey version of it. It's strange the Paint isn't there and Paint Pot is.

But by a process of elimination, looking over the last couple of pages, there's only one ident left...which one?

 

[DasLunatic]

The only one you haven't dismissed is Swan, so by process of elimination...

 

[backontrack]

Swan is correct! Here's a video for you. If you want the others, then they're also on YouTube.

Nine out of ten orphans can't tell the difference. What substance am I?

[backontrack]

D'oh! I knew that...

Krusty brand imitation gruel

I am Krusty Brand Imitation Gruel.

[dgl]

If I were to shop at Al Harringtons establishment what would I be buying.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

The recent introduction of the series on BBC TV would suggest a wacky arm-waving inflatable tubeman.

Open floor if correct.

 

[dgl]

Yup, well actually, wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube men.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Open floor

Thank you...

In the 1950's, two well known and respected scientists played a musical duet together - who where they?

 

[Darren R]

Not sure of when it happened, but Patrick Moore and Albert Einstein once played Saint-Saens' The Swan, with Moore on piano and Einstein on violin.
