Pointless- New quiz show on BBC2 (merged)

Considering there was only 3 pointless answers in the final round, I was happy to get one of them. My three picks were Scholes, Le Tissier and Hasselbaink :D
 
I said Rhyme n Reason, it's pretty much the only horse I know. I was once wandering to my Saturday job at 6.00 in the morning amd they were talking about the race and mentioning horses. Rhyme and Reason struck a cord because within the previous week I had watched The Magic Tollbooth (I think that's the right film, it had a city called Logicopolis in it) which had a song in it "Rhyme and Reason win once more" (they were the twin princesses I believe). Both facts collided in my mind and I've remembered it ever since.

I also would have scored 0 for both Julia Roberts films having named Mary Riley, The Mexican, Charlottes Web (and Flatliners...was that a zero pointer). :cool:

I was amused by the Take That round though, the most remembered song title only scored about 24 :D
 
Its great but they could be running out of questions. I mean, worRAB you can make out of 'garden' !! Not as interesting a question as naming US presidents or Queen songs. I got a few pointless answers lately. St Vincent and Queen's song Body Language, which i remember was their worst ever single.
 
That's great news.

With no Divided or Chaser for a while I'm missing my evening quiz, and was only talking about Pointless yesterday. I know that the first series was on around Autumn last year so was wondering when it would be back, and if it's true they've done more episodes that's even better.

As someone with a head full of pointless information (at least, that's what the wife says) this is one of the few quizzes I'd consider going on, if only for the Pointless trophy.
 
The ealing broadway answer was bought about by mentioning three stations that are " through " stations so the guy thought Ealing Broadway as its at " the end of the line " would be a correct answer.
Thought the girls were a bit unlucky yesterday, I was on "the Chase" with Sandra a couple of months back & they were the only couple that knew their stuff on this episode of the programme.
 
They've been asking for new competitors which suggests there will be a new series. Not sure what the ratings are, but Pointless seems to be popular and cheap so I expect it has a couple of years to run.
 
where was easter monday on the list .its always been a bank holiday as far as i canremember-but it wasnt mentioned.good friday/mayday/may bank holiday/august holiday/xmas day/boxing day and new year were! did anyone else notice?
 
I saw recordings of two of the shows from the first series.

It was good fun and Richard was quite pleased to chat with anyone afterwarRAB.

It was also quite funny when Alexander accidentally gave away one of the answers!
 
yes i was the one with my boyfriend the "hot boy" iiHEARTy0u :P

Thanks MrsSpoon, i was just hoping we wouldn't go out in round 1 so was really pleased with how well we did, especially as we were so much younger than everybody else!

My two episodes have been aired now! Will be interesting to see what the oscars question in the final is.
We got so close both times and we definitely would have chosen that one, if it had been best director winners i would have said, kevin costner, richard attenborough and clint eastwood, which i know probably wont be pointless, for best picture winners crash, the departed and no country for old men....i think they're right, will be interesting to see if any of those are pointless, if they are i will be a bit gutted as could have done with the money!
 
I don't like the new format this series where they show answers in round 2.

It gives an unfair advantage to those who go first and makes artificially low scores. They should not give any hints to the answers, it also inflates the jackpot as it is easier to find a pointless answer as they are supplied!

I feel it dumbs down the show a lot.

Also, in series one, were there not 5 couples in round 1?
