TV favourites Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway board game is riddled with embarrassing errors

TELLY favourites Ant and Dec need to check their Saturday Night Takeaway board game — as the quiz is full of errors.

Fans of the BAFTA award-winning ITV show forked out £19.99 to enjoy some Ant & Dec-based family fun this Christmas.

But parents have slammed the party game after they discovered a raft of howlers within the trivia round.

One shameful mistake claims Stonehenge is located in Somerset - not Wiltshire - while another wrongly states German scientist Albert Einstein died in 1949 instead of 1955.

Another blunder claims the Moon is just 225 miles from the Earth - the same distance as London to Blackpool - rather than 238,855.

One question - which involved basic arithmetic taught to primary school children - asked ‘Which of these is greater? Three squared or two cubed?’ before wrongly giving two cubed as the answer.

The multiple choice round, called “Win the Ads”, is an end-of-game prize grab where players battle it out against the timer to answer as many questions as possible.

But in the pack of 50 quiz cards, six gave incorrect answers.

One asked ‘Approximately how many episodes of Coronation Street have aired since the show began in 1960?’ and gave 8000 as the answer - instead of 9,067.

And another asked ‘When was the first commercial flight of a Boeing 747 jumbo jet?’ and wrongly claims 1970 - rather than the correct answer of 1969.

One dad, who bought the fun game for his two young children for Christmas, said: “I couldn’t believe it.

“The answers are so ridiculous I noticed straight away.

“The kids won’t accept the game could possibly be wrong.

“It’s teaching them all the wrong things.

“I’d advise other families to save their money.”

Makers Paul Lamond Games promised to replace incorrect cards for free.
