Pointless BBC One quiz show

Just watching this on iplayer. It's the only quiz show I have ever really enjoyed, I watch it when I have my biscuit and my cup of tea. I love it because you can proper play it at home like. I get a lot of the last questions right when there about films, it must mean I watch a lot of shit films that noone else is interested in. I well want to go on, reckon I'd rinse it :D

Anyone else watch this a lot? What would be your best pointless subject be?
 
It's a good concept but there aren't enough questions...it's all filler.

Opening round, a question each -> one couple kicked off
Round two, a question each -> another gone
Semi-final, maximum of 3 questions, but could be 2 -> bye losers
Final, one question.

There's more questions in the minute and a half of The Chase's final round than the entire 30 minutes or so of Pointless.

Concept is great but questions win out over concept.
 
I disagree. The banter is what raises Pointless above quizes like perfection or The Chase. Bradley Walsh are the chaser's banter is just shit in comparison. I enjoyed the formula at first but now it bores me. Whereas the chat in Pointless it what keeps each episode fresh.

Pointless tarted life as an idea for a spoof but now I wish I'd thought of it,
 
Pointless is for when the chase isn't on

I used to watch Pointless but I now prefer the Chase when Bradley Walsh isn't trying to be funny. Also the prize money on Pointless is always shit - unless you are lucky enough to have a week's rollover.


Alexander Armstrong's dad was my GP and I sometimes see AA visiting his family up here. Shit claim to fame.
 
It's brilliant it's not just a quiz show but a statistics show. I know I know nothing about film (I could name 20 maybe 30 film actors tops nevermind tell you which films they're in) and a bit about politics but it amazes me how much the general public know about film and how little they know about politics. It's a quiz I'm utterly useless at as I generally just ignore popular culture and sport and it's about 50% pop culture 25% sport 25% stuff I have a shot at, but it's still great fun guessing what each answer will score.
 
I hate it and the two Oxbridge twats who present it.

His mother is a bit Victorian, doesn't like kids around. SHe wouldn't let him play with local kids or anything so she sent him to a private boarding school in Durham to be educated.

Never understood why people have kids and then get rid of them like that.

His dad is a very popular man and well liked.

Very posh family though, with a fair bit of land too IIRC.
 
yesterday's was aces because bernard cribbins - who is a god among men - ripped that shit right up. he was a triumph!

anyway, i like pointless - not enough to watch it everyday, and i much prefer ben miller to alexander armstrong... but i do love the tall sidekick bloke.
 
It's perfectly possible to watch both. Pointless at normal time and the Chase on plus 1.
 
Well you can fit the ITV news in on plus 1 before Corrie or Enders but yes, you'd have to miss the One Show. OR, you can catch the One Show and wait til 10 for the news.

It can be done!
 
Richard Osman was a mate at school, he's not posh at all. We went to a normal comprehensive school. He's a clever bloke, got into a good university and did well, good luck to him. His brother did alright too :)

The other one is a mate and supporter of cameron. An anti-welfare twat sucking on the state teat.

edit: good uni =oxbridge? Good luck to him in what? Oxbridge dominance?
 
I can't bear the show or most of the dire 'who the fuck are you' celebrities they wheel out for the other show, but let me merge the two threads out of a sense of public duty. And then I will never return to this thread.

I could watch Channel 4 news I guess and miss the car crash that is The One Show (I hate it, I especially hate Matt Baker but I hate it so much I have to watch it!). Dame Edna was on the other night and drunk :cool:
 
Never herd of this "pointless". Don't watch game shows. Haven't really sat down to watch any since 15 to 1 finished.

It was rather The Chase of you to post in that case. The thread isn't about 15-1 so what use are you?
 
Pointless is the only quiz show I watch. I love Alexander and thingywotsit, they're a brilliant double act.
