Bold Rover Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Yeah, it's a bit slow, but a clever show, and the Armstrong/Osman chemistry is excellent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albino Rover Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Whatever happens, Richard Osman has definitely got a post-Pointless career. If you're on Twitter, he comes out with funny stuff all the time; his sections in "The 100 Most Pointless Things In The World" are miles better than Alexander Armstrong's, and you see him on standard stuff like Have I Got News For You? and Would I Lie To You? (two of my favourite programmes with rhetorical questions as titles) and he's interesting, charming, clever and funny. My bet is after Pointless he cashes in on a spin-off gameshow of his own, which isn't received as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bold Rover Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 He pops up on Radio4 conversation programmes too, and clearly is a broadcaster of our times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sloop John B Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I think my sister has applied to gon it with my dad, seeing as she's a medical student, i wouldn't hold my breath that she makes it, they probably want people with sub par intelligence so that the cash is safe even in the scheme of things it isn't that much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lichtieforlife Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 And anyway, the money has to go at some point. Makes no sense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree but medical students are forced by their applications to uni to be more rounded people and do more activities. EG Music, Sport as well. Then again it does require a bit of luck when it comes to the questions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadasdillinger Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Catching up on this just now, not had a chance to watch it in 2013 so far. Anybody else get the Pointless board game? I got it a couple of months back for my birthday, been good fun over Christmas. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the questions is about countries in the Rugby World cup final tournaments, and Argentina is not a correct answer. Made me distrust the other answers to the other questions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talisman Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Did anyone get all of the gold medal winners from 2012 last night. I got 8 out of 12 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Got female boxer, heptathlete, sailor, 5000m runner and one of the cyclists. Remembered the surname of the triathlete and the other cyclist and remembered the horsey winner was something French-sounding. So I think you did better than me! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I got four fairly obvious ones. After that, I was completely lost. Got something like six pointless answers in the female pop star question though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Got four different pointless answers in the Cricketers of the Year question the other day, including two former Bears which I was pleased with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CountyFan Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 This is a classic. Contestants from Inverness, 100 points for a correct answer, a made up name being a pointless answer... Glorious! Just got Clinton there can't believe that was pointless 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
