The competitors are free to protest and try to gaslight you into believing you made a mistake. Part of the fun is beingable to give a good explanation as to why the protest is wrong. The game is a friendly social one, at least the one in Swedish is done like that.

The original BBc one is like that. It’s supposed to be fun and not too pedantic and as far as I know Nicholas Parsons didn’t rely on anyone other than the whistle to know when the minute is over.

It’s a very fun radio show. I recommend the available episodes on Audible (or other means) to get the radio collections.

As a side note, do you know where one can get a hold of the Swedish one? I know SR doesn’t have it anyone at least.
