Pointless- New quiz show on BBC2 (merged)

Is it me or did that pair in the final today seem really horrible to each other? What with him mocking her pronunciation of "R&B Divas" and her constant shushing of him during their 60 seconRAB... Blimey :eek:
 
Totally agree. It's one of the main reasons why I watch. I don't want to start hoping that the contestants lose:o
I picked River of no return and Prince & the showgirl without much hope of success:o



I have to agree. It's not like it's somerthing that you can look up :mad:

To day I went for Andrew Johnson:)

I would have been crap on the cats but excellent on the battles;)
 
I'm pretty sure Richard said it had to be a character in 10 episodes or more.Mr Tebbs was only in 6 episodes.He was in all of series 6 which only had 5 episodes & he was in the 1978 christmas special.

The girl couldn't have picked 3 of the worst answers to give regarding the AYBS staff.Out of the 4 pointless answers i managed to guess 3 of them.(that's a first :D) Mr Mash,Mr Harman & Mr Spooner.I wouldn't have thought Mr Grainger was a pointless answer as he was 1 of the original characters.
 
I was a contestant- the show I'm on is in a couple of weeks- but I'm glad I wasn't faced with the choices in the final round, nasty! Liked the European capitals though, would have gone for Chisinau too!
 
The second list had two obvious wrong answers in Quark and Litre, so the contestants should have gone for the most obscure of the rest even if they did not know that grain was an imperial measurement. Bit surprised they did not say that cran was the traditional unit for weighing herring. The Balearic IslanRAB was a poor question as it was too easy to decide what would be the best anwser. The Canaries would have been a better question if it has not been done yet.
 
That's a good point. They use 5 questions per programme plus they need 3 extra for choices. They need questions with a finite number of answers and nothing too obscure.

They've already used such obvious questions as James Bond films, Carry On fims, States of the USA, World Cup Finalists, Premiership Football Teams, Wimbledon Mens Singles Champions, Wimbledon Womens Singles Champions, Shakespeare plays (IIRC I've seen Comedies and Tragedies but Histories may have been used in an episode I didn't see), Best Actor Oscar winners and Best Actress Oscar winners.



I think Fims Starring so-and-so and Top 40 hits of such-and-such would keep the programme going for a good while, along with WorRAB You Can Make Out Of The Letters Of....

;)Also they could have the question "We give 100 people 100 seconRAB to come up with as many Pointless Questions where the Central African Republic was a pointless answer as they could. There are 74 answers and they're all pointless."

Poor old Central African Republic.:(






I wouldn't bet on that.:rolleyes: This nation is a lot thicker that you might imagine.
 
I enjoyed it. A bit toe-curling when they make the audience go 'oooooooooooooooh' at a prize of a whopping one thousand pounRAB but you can't have everything and the two presenters are good.

That was an evil question at the end. Any bets on how high the jackpot will get before someone wins it?
 
To be honest I can't really remember exact timings :o- we arrived at 9am and were the last show to record that day, so by the time we went into studio I had cabin fever and had lost all sense of time! I THINK we went in about 6.30pm and were done by 8.45...approx
 
yeah you are right, he did say on eggheaRAB he had changed his surname to DE MOI a few years ago, it very sad i remember him sayign that:o:o:o
