Pointless...if You Don't Have An Answer....guess (Sensibly)

..Question...name the wreck of Henry VIII ship raised in 1982
Answer from Phillip...The Jolly Roger....priceless..

I know! Fancy not knowing that it was the Black Pearl.

Particularly impressive as the contestant before him had already guessed 'Mary Rose' for the previous one.

I thought that particular round was absolutely pathetic, Most of the answers were pretty obvious, the only one I could not remember was Darwins and, of course, when the answer came up I gave myself a big "duh"

A woman on The Chase last week when asked what animal an Afghan coat was made from answered 'dog'. I suppose that could be construed as a reasonable guess!

[ferlew]

Must admit I cringed too, it was all over the news at the time.

That was a good round wasn't it - especially since "The Mary Rose" had already been given for another question, can't remember which one.

Then later we had the answer QE2 for "the royal yacht retired from Royal Service in 1997". Priceless.

But there again, I'm equally ignorant about other topics (e.g. soaps, modern pop) so can't really crow about it.

[ferlew]

Oh, treat yourself, have a good crow. I did.

[alexanderd]

You are right canary but some of the answers were straightforward history, the Bounty,Victory, Mayflower etc.

[Canary42]

OK, does make me feel better. Thanks.

[Canary42]

... that was answer to ferlew.

[janzman]

Canary.. we're all equally ignorant and knowledgeable of a vast number of subjects..its just the totally absurd guesses that get me.

[ferlew]

I too find the things I know are so obvious.
But stuff like, who the heck were those celebs, defeat me completely.
