DomDom Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Some stroke of luck for those two with that final question. and they still didn't get the jackpot! It's a horrible question if you know them really well. I know every single released by them, picked three and wound up with nothing. I went for Empty Souls, Revol and Life Becoming a Landslide. The annoying thing about that was I was toying with There By the Grace of God. Grrrrr. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_S_A_R Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 i got roses in the hospital. i went for masses against the classes and little baby nothing as well. they were heavily unlucky that there were obviously a few big manics fan in the 100 surveyed. i ripped the arse out of gen terr for years and i still completely forgot that love's sweet exile existed or was a single. maybe richey edwards was in the survey 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gall09 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Didn't have a clue about the Manic's question, but did get a Pointless for Lori Petty as Tank Girl. As has been said, i think the interaction between Richard and Alexander, and the guests, is quality. Love the show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Got pointless answers for Einsteinium, Lori Petty and the 1987 election. No clue on Manic Street Whingers though... I only know Design For Life and Australia. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherrif John Bunnell Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Not that I would have done any better, but I thought that these two theatre types would have had a better stab at the final question. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_S_A_R Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 a struggle for me today. went for chaplin, less than zero and platoon (though i checked and he's not in it). going for anything to do with tv or movies never works as the survey group will have decent knowledge. someone better go for boxing or basketball soon. is anyone else desperate to know the acid jazz question? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I went for Good Night and Good Luck, Weird Science and The Singing Detective. Was relieved to see The Singing Detective on the last page. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 going for anything to do with tv or movies never works as the survey group will have decent knowledge. Unless your knowledge is decent itself? Plus, the last TV one, I managed to get every single pointless answer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forehead7 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 (edited) Didn't get any between my brother and I. Considering how low Iron Man 1 and 2 scored, I figured one of A Scanner Darkly, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang or Natural Born Killers would've got 0. My brother suggested Chaplin or Air America too. Didn't see any of those in the pointless answers or the ones Richard said afterwards. edit: if I was on the show and made it to the final round, I'd probably go for a tv or film question. It really would just be luck of the draw and you could pick any subject you felt you were well versed in and get a poor question. (that 24 question would've scunnered me) Edited March 5, 2013 by forehead7 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_S_A_R Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Unless your knowledge is decent itself? Plus, the last TV one, I managed to get every single pointless answer. because you had watched 24. if it comes up with a show you have never seen you're gubbed. if you go for sport you pretty much eliminate all the women in the survey and you are likely to get a broader question. in the tv and movie rounds you usually have to go quite obscure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends what sport it is. Any American ones and I'm knackered. Boxing and I'm knackered. Formula 1 comes up a lot. Knackered. I'd be relying on something like Music/Movies/TV because my knowledge of a LOT of subjects on these are pretty good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al B Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 (edited) a struggle for me today. went for chaplin, less than zero and platoon (though i checked and he's not in it). going for anything to do with tv or movies never works as the survey group will have decent knowledge. someone better go for boxing or basketball soon. is anyone else desperate to know the acid jazz question? I reckon that genre as a whole would be too niche even for the purposes of the show...was thinking it must have been a question about Jamiroquai? RDJ films I went for Chaplin, Air America and Two Girls And a Guy (which I knew from my days of being obsessed with Heather Graham). Thought people would maybe have said Chaplin but I reckon the last two would have been pointless, although they weren't mentioned. Edit: 3 attempts at spelling Jamiroquai...never even considered it would be an "o" until DomDom posted after me Edited March 6, 2013 by Al B 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 It's going to be Jamiroquai. Who I'm clueless about, but my big brother is totally chomping at the bit to give it a go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be relying on something like Music/Movies/TV because my knowledge of a LOT of subjects on these are pretty good. but generally you know what sport it is you are choosing. personally i know a good bit about tv and film and possibly less about boxing but i'd go for boxing because it is narrower and the public as a whole is less knowledgeable about boxing (see one thread for boxing vs a full forum for tv and film on here) there was the question about authors the other week which if it had been about booker or nobel winners i'd have been jamming but it was three scandi crime writers which i'm clueless about. for a few weeks that option had been titled scandianvan crime writers but no one chose it so they changed it to authors. if it is a jamiroqui question it'll be relabelled british pop eventually. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roverthemoon Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Would have taken the money with Walter Mondale yesterday. I always think UK politics questions are relatively easy as most people know nothing. Been a few where you can guess your own MP too. With TV and film there's always a chance you'll get something you know hee haw about. The 24 question would have screwed me over. I'd have been left with no option but to guess something daft like Jack Bauer, Shiela Bauer and Bobby Bauer Jackpot is massive at moment 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gall09 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Did they give the pointless answers there for the 'Singers and Their Films' question there? I had The Hunger for Bowie, and Alpha Dog and Edison for Timberlake. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
