* Only one episode of the short-lived (and lower-budget) Irish version on TV3 (now Virgin Media One) has been found, but it's produced some hilarious moments.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7BzZBjhw3M&t=213s "Name a part of the body that has three letters in its name."]] This was generally a good round, but one contestant had said "knee", presumably unaware of the silent K like the Bygraves-era British contestant before her.

-->'''Alan:''' I need to rush you.
