    Saves the world with his power. Same as all the other super heroes, so definitely a super hero in my book. And awesome.

    Nicholas Cage. Not so awesome.

    That was very tough. They didn't have much of a hope.

    BOOMS!

    Surprised there were so few Pointless answers.

    I wonder if some of the 100 surveyed cheated and did a quick Google when they were surveyed?

    How do they do the survey? Do they pick 100 randomers off the street or what?

    It's done online by a research company.

    You aren't told the questions are for Pointless, but if you watch Pointless you would know what the questions were for.

    I wonder if "Breathless" and "Runaway" were answered by the same 18 people? :o:D;)

    As for Jake and Ollie... well deserved membership of the 200 club. :rolleyes: :D

    But the best bits were:

    Xander: "Remind us what you do, Lynn."
    Lynn: "I'm retired."
    Xander: "Remind us what you did, Lynn."
    Lynn: "I worked in a pet shop with no pets."
    Xander: "It wasn't an unqualified success."

    And, of course, Xander successfully trying to read out the teams' scores and tell the second players to take their places at the podiums within 30 seconds, with Richard timing him.

    Can I do the Countdown clock music on here? Do-do, do-do, do-do-do-do, boom...

    :D:D:D:D:D:D

    According to DigiGuide there is only one more week of new episodes to come.

    From 2nd December they are showing repeats.

    DigiGuide have usually got this right in the past.

    The last run of repeats came from midway through series 6 - so if another run does indeed begin on 2 December, they'll probably advance to the start of series 7.

    Which would almost certainly mean a repeat of the episode won by Paul and the lovely Emma... :D:D:D;););)
    Xander always says that it's a shame when a couple reach the final on their first attempt.

    In most cases, when the couple in question are likeable, it's hard to disagree.

    For me, Paul and Emma from last September are a prime example. Not only were they 40-somethings with good personalities, but Emma... well, let's just say I wouldn't hesitate to get into bed with her if she hadn't already been taken by Paul.

    In the head-to-head, they were up against an equally likeable grandfather-and-granddaughter couple who were appearing on their second show, having reached the same round in their first. I was hoping, therefore, that the grandfather and granddaughter would progress to the final.

    Instead, Paul and Emma won the first question, and then - much to their surprise, and probably everyone else's too - narrowly won the second as well, on anagrams of English cathedral cities...

    :eek: :eek: :eek: :(:(:(

    And the sense of disappointment at knowing that this was going to be their only show was compounded when they got a really nasty question - the actors in Carry On Columbus, the most recent and probably the worst of the series. :(

    If there was any consolation, it was that the jackpot had been won on the previous episode. And they certainly deserved to win more than £1k - especially someone like Emma...
