If you are reading this then you will already know that Pointless is indeed the greatest entertainment show out there. However if Pointless has indeed escaped your knowledge then the warmest of welcomes.

5:15 to 6 on BBC1 is a sacred time full of booms, banter and budding bromance. If Pointless is sacred then Richard Thomas Osman is who we worship. Himself and Alexander Armstrong are the hosts and in my humble opinion are the best double act/presenters on Television.

You may remember Pointless from such catchphrases, running jokes and classic answers as:

- That ain't Bread.....that's toast!
- And by 'country', we mean a sovereign state that's a member of the UN in its own right
- Ben Miller
- Richard's height
- Central African Republic
- Andrew Bonar Law

Along with many, many more. Perhaps you can find that all important Pointless answer that I have missed out and award yourself a Boom.

Anyway without further ado lets play Pointless!

Still think "Boom Hard With A Vengeance" was the perfect title for this thread, but what the hey. "Central African Reboomlic" was the next best title, anyway.

I like what you've done with the place!

And the periodic table on the wall is a nice touch

Thread titles seem to have limits and I only just fitted in Central African Reboomlic so I think we stumbled onto the right one
