+'''Just before Round 5, Jonathan and Richard took part in "Pulp Fact or Pulp Fiction?" involving movie trivia. The first half involved questions regarding vintage movie trailers, while the second half involved Fabio, the show's permanent male host acting out scenes from a movie and the celebrities had to guess which movie did it come from. Even though the score was tied at {{score|3|3}}, because Jonathan tricked Richard to impersonate the dolphin from the first question to get one point for Jonathan's team, his team was at an advantage and won the game, with eleven points being awarded to his team.'''
 Interesting and notable moments from the episode are listed below:
-) During the 30 seconds in Round 1, "Jimmy" performed various tricks and kickflips with his scooter.
+) During the Introduction, Maisie had a Whack-a-Countdown machine as her prop (in reference to a ''{{w|Whac-A-Mole}}'' machine), with moles being replaced with the Catsdown regulars and then demonstrated how it worked, hitting as many of the figures in 30 seconds.
-) During the 30 seconds in Round 3, "Jimmy" tried to recreate the [[clock music]] with wine bottles and drumsticks. After the time was up, each of the panel members got cheese and a glass of wine.
+) During the 30 seconds in Round 1, "Jimmy" performed various tricks and kickflips with his scooter in the centre of the studio.
-) During the 30 seconds in Round 6, Jimmy received "Susie Dent: The Complete Book Collection" and after failing putting one of the books into the paper shredder, he put all of the books into the big wood chipper. Also in Round 6, Richard declared that he had five-letter word, but then changed his declaration to a seven-letter word and Jimmy allowed it.
+) In Round 3, the clock music was replaced with a rendition of it done by Jimmy hitting wine bottles via drumsticks (with Maisie notably being irritated on-camera by covering her ears). After the time was up, each of the panel members got cheese and a glass of wine. Maisie also offered the word {{word|torique}} {{x}} even though she was not playing the round.
 NOTE 1: In this version, both players' declarations were allowed, although points were only awarded for the best answer.
-NOTE 2: In Round 1, Anne-Marie disregarded {{word|Z}} from the selection after massive grouch from the panel members. If this decision wasn't made, the selection would've been {{word|EPSDOAEZR}} reducing maximum score in that round from 18 to 7.
+NOTE 2: In Round 1, Anne-Marie threw out the letter {{word|Z}} from the selection after a heated debate from the delebrities. If this decision wasn't made, the selection would've been {{word|EPSDOAEZR}}, reducing maximum score in that round from 18 to 7. Additionally, Maisie's second declaration of {{word|pseudo}} {{x}} was wrongly allowed as there was no {{word|U}} in the selection.
