Repeatedly shouting "The Long Good Friday" at the screen.

May come in handy for Bob Hoskins and Pierce Brosnan films as well, especially Pierce Brosnan.

Do we know when these repeats originally aired? Because I was away travelling in Asia during Feb and March so missed Pointless naturally :pac: I presume they're much older than then though as I vaguely remembered Monday's one but have missed it the last 2 days with the sun and being too distraught!

Cheers, you're very good for all this sort of stuff I must say

So in a month's time I'll have "new" pointless episodes in theory :pac:

I'm an idiot 2012 was last year

"I was talking to Barry about The Wire earlier, he's never seen it, but he thought season 3 was much better than season 2"

Richard is a legend!

Yeah. The first round are ones where you pick your own answer rather than the ones where they give you 7 answers and you pick one.

Mr.Prodston · 23-07-2013 09:25PM

Central African Republic....I said it...just sayin' :cool:

:pac:

Went to town on the Chelsea manager question too!

Skid X · 23-07-2013 09:38PM

Google just landed me on this unusual site. It has the full subtitles text of lots of Pointless episodes (and other TV shows)

http://tvguide.lastown.com/bbc/preview/pointless-series-5/episode-50.html

I'm not sure what to make of it. It would be handy if you ever wanted to recreate a Pointless Episode, with you and a friend being Xander and Richard

Maybe you could use the search function to find some vintage Central African Republic answers!

Couldn't believe CAR was a pointless there!

Nice dig in at Barrys team again in the keira knightley round from xander. "Up next is Barry, who's never been to the cinema"

Alexander's (and Richard's) pronunciation of Meath is hilarious.

Dozen Wicked Words · 26-07-2013 04:58PM

Twins were cocky little feckers, deserved to win though.

Welsh Megaman · 30-07-2013 04:57PM

It's a great day to be Rob Curling!

I guessed five Pointless answers in the final, and I'm not even a Blur fan. Yay for me!

quickbeam · 30-07-2013 06:05PM

That pair were fairly mighty. Was sorry they didn't win the jackpot.

brian_t · 31-07-2013 01:23AM

Richard has responded to the repeats on twitter

New Pointless will be on when the BBC schedulers decide. There are still 80 new ones to be shown, plus 10 new PointlessCelebrities

The thing is, we only record about 200 episodes a year, so the BBC have to choose 12 weeks to show repeats. 40 weeks of new ones though!

I love the way Richard assumes that Pointless should be a permanent fixture on BBC all year round.

(and he's forgotten about Wimbledon already) :eek:

We all do

Brand new #pointlesscelebrities starting on August 17th! Whoop whoop!

One of the highest rating weeks in the history of #Pointless. That should persuade the BBC to stop showing repeats. No, wait, hold on...

Urrghh ... good to see Pointless getting high ratings, but that is just silly.
I bet people are watching with their friends pretending to be clever, knowing lots of pointless answers. Roll on August 17th.

Still don't know any Sebastian Faulks novels though!!

Mr.Prodston · 02-08-2013 05:05PM

Ah the Sebastian Faulks round, the day I realised just how much I loved and enjoyed Richard and Xander's banter

It is probably my favourite Pointless moment, certainly one of them anyway

"Look what you did"

:pac:

Classic! Sebastian Faulks should name his next two novels 'A day at the seaside' and 'Murder', just for the craic.

On second thoughts, that would take a lot of work, maybe he could do an anthology of short stories, featuring 'A day at the seaside', 'Murder' and some other stories loosely based on Richard, Xander and the contestants who were oblivious to his previous works.

I would buy that!

Welsh Megaman · 02-08-2013 05:19PM

No surprise really that ratings for 'Pointless' are high, considering ITV's dire rival gameshow 'Take On The Twisters'.

Sebastian probably thinks that it is 'pointless' writing any novels at all.:D
