I'd forgotten that John Carpenter is a film director, I've never seen the movie in question (which I've just identified through googling) and the significance of the date passed me by.
It needs to be remembered that contestants on The Chase are asked to avoid simply saying "I don't know" or "Pass". Inevitably then, there are bound to be some wild guesses or jokey answers.
Sorry, it's not a TWAU. IThe name John Carpenter means nothing to me. On the spur of the moment I wouldn't have got that and I doubt many would have known it or worked it out from the date under pressure when the clock is ticking. If you don't know it immediately it's better to say any old answer rather than waste time.
"You ridicule people for simply giving a wrong answer, TTT. Wrong answers don't qualify as TWAUs." - nope, it's not about wrong answers it's about implausible answers that cannot be right or wrong answers when the actual answer is in the question like in this case. What happens on oct 31? Halloween! correct well I'll go to the foot of our stairs.
I think they're funny. It's only a joke, yer know, Naomi. Chill! Chill! That's what Manning used to say. It's only a joke. Don't take it serious.
On lots of occasions he would end by saying: I know my stuff doesn't suit everyone, so if you've been offended by anything I've said tonight, then it's yer own *** fault for coming!
