• During the run of the show, Central African Republic has proved to be the most pointless country in the Countries rounds.
• For every show the finalists don't win, a £1000 is added to the overall jackpot. The most amount of money ever won by the finalists is £20,250, which narrowly beat £20,000 from before.
• During a music round, Richard Osman described the 1980s band Echo & The Bunnymen as having been "lost to history". Lead singer Ian McCulloch happened to be watching and took offence, subsequently calling Osman a "prick" in an interview for The Independent.
