The dodgy BBC have struck again.

I might be being paranoid but in this quiz every time someone gives an
answer and then realises they have got it wrong and give another one the
stock answer is" I'm sorry, we have to accept your first answer"

Last night someone gave an answer and then changed their mind to a
different pronunciation which was accepted, it turned out the original pronunciation was correct but they got a 100 score.

I think they are easier on the celebrities generally and they get easier questions.

That's a good reason not to watch "Celebrities".

No, they said "ornithopter" then changed it to "ornicopter". Not mispronunciation.
