Pointless BBC One quiz show

He went down in my estimation when he seemed to blame Jax for saying Nurse Cratchet rather than Nurse Ratched.

she did, though.

 

[Maltin]

she did, though.

Yes, but he was like "I told her that she was wrong but she wouldn't listen" which may be true but certainly wasn't as displayed in the edit. Seemed very ungracious the way he blamed her for getting the answer wrong.

Ahh. I think that was friendly teasing and that he hadnt told her at all. My dad had a similar sense of humour. Cribbins is a god. I'll hear no calumny.

I hate Pointless, but Cribbins brings back all sorts of memories.

Right said Fred, time to get iPlayer on.

Don't dig there, dig it elsewhere. You're digging it round and it ought to be square. The shape of it's wrong, it's much too long, and you can't dig a hole where a hole don't belong.

This is getting nowhere. Should we 'ave a cup of tea?

Walsh: Oliver Cromwell is said to have urged his men to put their trust in God and to keep what item dry? Was it their powder, their wigs or their boots?
Contestant: [selects answer]
Walsh: Youve put their boots.
Contestant: …

Bah, lost all respect for this today.

Lazy bloody researchers. They made a massive joke about Chicken Run being called 'Chicken Chicken Run Run' in Japanese. It's not. It's called 'Chicken Run'.
I saw it in Japan and I think I would have remembered something pointlessly bonkers like that. I did a quick google, and the only place it is mentioned is in one small text entry (error) on imdb.
It would have taken mere seconds to double check that instead of just assuming that an editable page on the internet is right. They could have, for instance, just looked at a japanese poster, looked it up on japanese amazon, or simply typed in "chicken chicken run run" in the internet and see nothing come up.

How many other questions do they get wrong??

 

[gosub]

wasn't a question, was an aside. Would have issues with BBC Trust if they did the same on questions as it is for money

Quite a long 'interesting fact' aside not to be fact checked at all. Especially when it sounded so obviously wrong.

Just made me wonder about other questions.

There was a grave error in yesterday's show - they called Auchinleck Talbot, Auchinleck Town.

I noticed that and just assumed they had changed their name from Talbot. Pretty shoddy.

The three answers I chose for the pointless final on friday were ALL POINTLESS!!!

My best pointless result ever.

Kelvin Mackenzie was on the celebrity version yesterday. Richard Osman made his feelings very clear on Twitter.

Lol that a thread about an afternoon quiz show can make people froth at the mouth.

Yeah, you got that across when you called me too 'thick' to go to Oxbridge and an ignorant piss faced dick. .

I fucking love urban.

 

[Mogden]

Was that an urb on tonight? Aussie woman living in Brixton. I know there are lots of non urbs in Brixton but she looked urbby.

Pointless are having a twist in their 1000th episode and it's brilliant
