* In a series 9 episode, during the intros round, Phill and guest Tony Mortimer had to get guest Jon Culshaw to identify "Burn, Baby Burn" by Ash. After they first do it, John just can't figure it out, even with Phill imitating part of the song in Jon's face. Mark asked them to do it again, but longer. They do, but Tony breaks up whil Phill continues.
-->'''Mark''': You see, these batteries last a lot longer.
** Immediately, Jon asked the opposing team.
-->'''Sean''': What if Tony Blair was guessing? (winks to the camera)
-->'''Jon''': (as Tony Blair) Well, if I think Tony Blair was guessing, he would not know the answer, either.
** Jon then requested Mark to act it out. Mark immediately pulled out a lighter and pretended to light a piece of paper on fire. Jon got it right away.
-->'''Mark''': Sorry, I meant to say... (taps his nose and points to Jon)
