Young lady on Tipping Point was asked: The MP for Aberavon Stephen Kinnock is the son of which former Labour leader?
Her answer : Tony Blair.

Mikey, 'daytime television' is a well known phrase for the kind of junk that they put on at that time, which keeps a lot of folk who are easily pleased, entertained.
One minute this woman is "thick", the next she's, "This poor young lady", so which is it?
Who the hell are you to call anybody thick? We all make mistakes, it's just unfortunate that hers were made in front of a camera.

my favourite was the chap on the chase (not a youngster)who was asked what curtain Churchill said was going to cover Europe ( or something like that ) choices ....iron ,velvet ,invisible . answer velvet lol

[ummmm]

Mikey - I'm going to wait for my daughter to wake up and I'll ask her the same question.

I'm guessing she'll look at me blankly.

Where?

Talbot - I didn't see it, but apparently the question included the name Stephen Kinnock, but "The poor young lady", may not have heard him say that in her panic. I think many younger people may know Neil Kinnock better for having fallen down in the sea, as that footage still seems to be played a lot. That still doesn't mean that they know who he is.

[ummmm]

Kinnock. But it would only be obvious if you knew who Neil Kinnock was.

[mikey4444]

I would have more sympathy if the question was "who is the father of the Aberavon MP" !

[GenuineclAss]

Oh well, we can't all be perfect like you, can we, Mikey?

Even if the contestant had twigged that a man named Kinnock probably had a father named Kinnock, she still needed to know his first name and that he was a Labour leader. If she'd guessed John Kinnock, having not heard of Neil, we'd have this thread anyway, but she would have been laughed at for a slightly different reason.
