Pointless

[dave50]

I have noticed that lately in the final, there is sometimes three categories to choose from and sometimes five. Anyone know why?
I also wish the host would stop going through all the options twice, once is enough, people can read, asking what the contestants would spend their winnings on if they won and asking them in which order they would like their answers putting up on the board in the final, why? It's a waste of time, just get on with it!!

Alexander Armstrong is annoying.

[carrust]

The ones on at the moment are repeats. The old progs gave them a choice of 3, the new progs 5.

[Stargazer]

I agree. The presenters are both annoying and seem awkward somehow.

[Supermike]

I sorry I don't agree. I find Alexander and Richard very quick and amusing and they seem to get on very well together. It must be very difficult to try and keep the programme fresh and interesting when they are on every day but I think they do an excellent job.

"The ones on at the moment are repeats."

Not true. New ones resumed this week.
I also like both presenters.

[carrust]

I stand corrected matt.

[langara]

With you Mattk, glad the repeats have finished though, you never knew where you were

[Mattk]

I wish they would lose the anagram round, though.

[anotheoldgit]

Seems the whole show has the correct title, 'POINTLESS'.

[Mattk]

"Seems the whole show has the correct title, 'POINTLESS'."

If I had a penny....

"If I had a penny.... "

My brother and I got 2,000,000 pennies...not so pointless now!

[Tilly2]

You took the words right out of my head, Mattk.

[netibiza]

They are repeats this week cos of the school holidays or somesuch.

[sddsddean]

^^^ Repeats last week. This week we are back on series 8.

Well I like Pointless and Zander and Osman, so there! They make me laugh and they both put the contestants at ease.

[DaisyNonna]

Cupid, so do I. Need a little light relief before the evening boredom sets in.

[elliemay1]

I used to like it but much prefer The Chase now.

[Supermike]

For all of you who don't like Pointless please press the "off" button on your remote, or change channel. It's that simple.

[Canary42]

I love Pointless, but it does carry an excess of "padding" which annoys me, especially the number of times there is a pause for the audience to applaud. It's probably done to increase the "suspense" I suppose.

[Supermike]

I agree Canary but, in that wonderful last line in "Some Like It Hot" Joe E Brown summed it up with "Nobody's (or, in this case, nothing) perfect"
