    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.

    Mad Men's Don Draper : What you call love was invented by guys like me, to sell nylons.

    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!

    "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" :D

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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:

    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.

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

    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
