^ Interesting to know that the money is split between all the charities if the jackpot isn't won.

The Jackpot is €2500 + €250 for any pointless answers along the way.

If it's not won then €2000 is split between all the charities.

I saw it on the guide, had half an hour to kill, went to the kitchen.... completely forgot

Lingua Franca

That's a shame, it was great craic.

Rounds I can remember off the top of my head *perhaps vaguely spoilerish*:

Famous people who's surnames start with C
Members of boybands/bands with "boy" in their name (Boyzone, Backstreet Boys, Beastie Boys, Beach Boys etc)

Picture round of "name the musical this costume came from"
Facts about snooker
(Edit after checking on Twitter) Missing letters round: breeds of pig

Final subject chosen was islands.

You'd all have done very well.

^ I bet I even would have recognised some of the "celebrities" for once.

The Pointless Celebrity editions on Saturdays are new but the ones shown on Sundays are repeats.

Lingua Franca

Ah, I didn't know that. This one had the "answers from any of these three options" format so I figured it was new.

That's bull plop! Everyone else has said a surname, he says a first name and gets it correct.

Dozen Wicked Words

Only had to name 1st name? Wtf

Go Harvey Go

Oh, wow... clearly it didn't matter if the contestants didn't know the surnames.

Did Richard stipulate he wanted a full name?

In that case, Jacqueline from Bananarama (replaced Fahey)! Can't remember her surname!

Oh Lara, Lara, Lara...

You thought Nelson Mandela was Indian, you'd probably never watched 24 before - and now you thought Nicole Scherzinger was a Saturday rather than a Pussycat Doll...

Surprised they didn't have Sugababes there. You could literally name anyone on the planet and it'd be right.

Dozen Wicked Words

Outraged by that question, or lack of need for surname. I demand an inquiry

Heidi Range from the Sugababes was in a very early version of Atomic Kitten
