    I think the final round is way too skewed toward Music/Arts/Literature.

    Science/Geography/History rarely comes up.

    Are these repeats?

    How come they only won a grand when yesterday's pot was £18k and wasn't won.

    I'm not a regular viewer so might be missing something :confused:


    Two Tribes anyone ??

    Here is the head-to-head round and the (jackpot-winning) final round of the missing episode:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pbha6qJzQI0

    And here are the first two rounds:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXCG7rQ3-OU

    And, from the mouth of one of the winners, the reason that it wasn't shown:

    "I found out this episode of Pointless wasn't going to be on, when I checked the website for upcoming editions last week, as I had already worked out the day my brother and I would be on. When it didn't show up, I phoned the BBC to see if it was a mistake or what, as I couldn't think of a reason not to show it. On Friday they sent me an e mail with the producers number and I spoke to him Monday morning. When the show first went out 2 years ago, apparently they had several viewer complaints. In the head to head question about photography, Clare and Nat answered the question 'what is the name of an individual light sensitive cell in a digital camera' with the answer 'sensor'. This was deemed wrong and they scored 100. Several people phoned in and said they were right and as the BBC now have the policy that every quiz show must be whiter than white, they decided not to show it again. I pointed out that we had already got the best answer on the board, so it didn't matter what they picked, they would lose. Apparently this doesn't matter! I also said that Alexander has been going on about they biggest jackpot for a week and on Wednesday it will go back to £1000. Surely people will complain more about 'who won the jackpot?'. This doesn't matter either. So if you would like to complain (please, please do) phone the BBC on 03704 101060 (its a standard rate call)."
