I have been a pointless fan since we got BBC in our college apartment last year and I simply love the show. It has so many strings to it's bow.

Would have got three (!) pointless answers in the Dr Seuss round! (To Think that I Saw it on Mulberry Street; The Sneetches and Other Stories, and ... now I can't remember the third one. Sigh.) Oh well. Two's not bad.

Richard was in Dublin earlier this week.

Have I Got More News For You is on BBC1 at 10.45 this evening. Hope you like it. I'm in Ireland and have just discovered I can't watch it!

brookvillebandb was just wonderful. The perfect B&B.

Richard Osman

The perfect B&B but don't they get BBC ?. Looks nice though.

You'd think a tech savvy guy like him would know how to use Expatshield or even just the Filmon app...

If I had know he was in Dublin, I would have invited Richard to my place to watch HIGNFY

Although it might have been like when Alan Partridge pretended he lived with his stalker, when Graham Linehan and Arthur Mathews called around.

Incidentally, Steve Coogan is on The Late Late Show tonight

Richard and Tubs would probably be like oil and water, though...
