I just watched it on iplayer, and in fairness they didn't, it was just only 11/100 named it as a proper county.They've just tried to claim Derbyshire are a minor county!
But!!!!... the woman claiming Twickenham was even a county, never mind one playing in the county championship, was about the single most stupid answer I have ever seen on a tv quiz programme.
Even Alexander Armstrong's icy coolness almost disintegrated there. That iritating bloke who sits there must have cracked up too: "there are so many reasons why that is wrong".
How do they filter out the people who actually know anything at all from getting on these programmes? I mean, there is a prize of several thousand quids to tempt anybody with a modicum of general knowledge.
Incidentally, if you're interested, its about 6 minutes in at:

Sure the woman said Derbyshire at the time. But I am deaf, mind.

One said Berkshire, but they were asked to name the first class counties. I would have said Northants for least well known, but surprised Leicester and Derby ranked lower than Glamorgan. But then only 44 said Yorkshire! Says loads for our national summer game really.
