    I've just noticed too that they are also showing Pointless Celeb repeats on Sunday evenings for at least the next three weekends.

    This coming Sunday
    A special edition of the quiz, featuring celebrities from the world of radio. Four pairs of radio DJs and presenters must try to come up with the answers that no-one else could think of.
    Featuring Scott Mills and Gemma Cairney, Ken Bruce and Anneka Rice, Michael Buerk and Jenny Eclair, and Shelagh Fogarty and Christian O'Connell.

    NO.

    WAY.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,924 ✭✭✭delbertgrady


    I've seen categories like that before and they're real tricky ones to second guess the one hundred people polled. Major acts are often overlooked. I was going to say Bruce Springsteen and REM, both of which are as obvious as Prince and U2, but mine presumably weren't pointless.
    Oh well.
    Kudos on (Jon) Bon Jovi.

    Is Lucy the only contestant to never get a correct answer?

    Just caught up with Friday's episode and, to be fair, with her answers of Sinead O'Connor (in Eurovision) and Some Like It Hot (1937 film with the last line "Hello everybody this is Norman Maine") Miriam also failed to get a correct answer in the first two rounds and also, as a team, got one of the two head to head questions wrong (Kenneth Branagh playing Hamlet in 1990 film directed by Zeffirelli).

    Overshadowed of course by the answers, Hampden, Westlife & Beauty & the Beast from Lucy but it will be interesting to see if Miriam atones on Monday.
