The Beeb ran the online quiz for a while before the show

Ah, now you raise an interesting point, having decided yhat this was to be our Saturday evening entertainment, I went on to the site about half an hour before the programme and was rather surprised to find that I could do the quiz.
O.K. so it's not done for prize money, but that might not stop egotistical people from wanting to come first. By the time I was doing it live with the family, I had had time to think about and check my answers, so I could easily come out with a near perfect score.

N.B. The 55/70 is my first score, I could do 69/70 by the time the show was on. And I'm not suggesting people did cheat, just that it was easy so to do.
