• In a series 6 episode, the opening round category was novels by three-named authors. One pair had no idea whatsoever and decided to say "American Psycho" was written by Antony Worrall Thompson.

Alexander: There is your red line. If Antony Worrall Thompson gets you below that, I will eat the column.

• • In the next episode there's a Continuity Nod where the same contestant got a right answer after a long lead-up of consideration, and Alexander quips "For a moment there I thought you were going to say Antony Worrall Thompson again".
• The contestant who got through the first round on both of his consecutive appearances with the same answer ("Malta").
• While discussing Queen Victoria, it's mentioned her first name was actually "Alexandrina"...

Alexander: Like a female Alexander. Richard: You were known as "Victoria" for a while The Nineties weren't you? Alexander: ...My friends still call me that. Richard: The word you're thinking of is "clients".

• One Head to Head Question was "Things That Rick Astley Is 'Never Gonna' Do..."
• In one of the celebrity editions, one of the pairs of celebrities is the Chuckle Brothers. Richard takes the opportunity every round to complain that they haven't been knighted yet. Except when the round was French-themed...when he instead complained that they hadn't been given a Legion d'Honneur.
• The 300th anniversary show begins with Richard and Alexander exchanging gifts. Richard got Alexander a framed map of the Central African Republic, while Alexander got Richard a power cord for his laptop, which has apparently been running off battery power for the past 300 episodes.
