Is he a bit like Stephen Fry though? With little Elves in his ear?

TICKLE_ME_ELMO · 23-09-2013 04:46PM

A I want to say Danube
B is The Liffey
C is The Seine
D is The Themes
E I can't see it properly.

I think he is the real deal. He really gets into it.

IvySlayer · 23-09-2013 04:47PM

Seine, Thames and Liffey

TICKLE_ME_ELMO · 23-09-2013 04:48PM

I don't understand this one. Or do I....

Although #2 is Much Ado About Nothing.

Dozen Wicked Words · 23-09-2013 04:49PM

Jebus, not sure I'd be any good at these number ones.

Skid X · 23-09-2013 04:49PM

2 - much ado about nothing

No idea about the others

Welsh Megaman · 23-09-2013 04:49PM

'A Midsummers Nights Dream' second from bottom

TICKLE_ME_ELMO · 23-09-2013 04:50PM

Chris and Pete just bumbled their way to this final. Incredible.

Skid X · 23-09-2013 04:52PM

That last round was one of the toughest I've ever seen.

(obviously, if you know your Shakespeare it would be handy enough)

TICKLE_ME_ELMO · 23-09-2013 04:53PM

Nicki Lauda, James Hunt for the F1?

Skid X · 23-09-2013 04:54PM

Basil D'Oliveira
Jody Sheckter
Mike Gatting

IvySlayer · 23-09-2013 04:55PM

Jacky Ick or something for F1 drivers

Dozen Wicked Words · 23-09-2013 04:55PM

David Steele former Northants legend. Hope hes pointless

Skid X · 23-09-2013 04:56PM

Asked what they'd do with the cash before the first question - good sign.

TICKLE_ME_ELMO · 23-09-2013 04:56PM

Oh my!

They were very lucky to get to the final but they (or Pete) knew his stuff there.

Welsh Megaman · 23-09-2013 04:56PM

Cor blimey!

Welsh Megaman · 23-09-2013 04:58PM

Boom!

Close enough

TICKLE_ME_ELMO · 23-09-2013 04:59PM

Is it weird to say I get a little bit sad at the end every day

I'll be spending the money on my continued stalking of Richard

My friend in Belgium used to live on the same street of Jacky Ickxs daughter, yeah, I know, pick yourself up off the floors!

That's one small flaw in the format they should sort out before they record new shows.

Speaking of new shows ...

Richard Osman ‏@richardosman 6h
204 more episodes of #pointless and #PointlessCelebrities about to be recorded. Tickets from http://sroaudiences.com . It's fun I promise!

What is it with people spelling 4 letter names with 3 letters? Jon this week. What's the point? Does chopping one letter off really save that much time?

Jon is generally short for Jonathan which is a different name entirely to John.

Yeah well....... shut up!

MightyMighty737 · 23-09-2013 07:52PM

Something I've always wondered (:o ), is do they get to keep the name badges or are they saved for future contestants. Sad, I know!

BTW, thought today's episode was extremely hard, even compared with the newer ones which have been harder than before the break I think.

I've asked Richard on twitter. I'll let you know if he gets back to me.

What tends to happen is the badges themselves are reused as the lettering can be applied and removed as needed.
