Biggest moron ever on celebrity chase right now.

I thought Amol Rajan did a decent job hosting University Challenge last night. Still channels Paxman's put downs but also offers some positive encouragement.
And well done to Manchester for coming from behind and securing a draw!

Chase last night. ". Which football trophy is also referred to as Old Big Ears?" Shaun the chaser answers Fa cup. So the contestants confer and say World Cup. Very amusing that programme at times.

New to me but saw a quiz programme last night called "Puzzling" with Lucy Worsley as host.
Its on Channel 5 and is a little on the lines of " Only Connect"
2 teams of 3.
The twist at the end is that the winning team then quiz off against each other.
Thought it wasn't too bad.

23 year old woman on The Chase just got £9,000 in the cash builder, which was brilliant - but made me laugh when asked which singer of the Beautiful South had a solo album called (album name.given).

She answered Louis Armstrong

what a Dumb arse. Everyone knows he’s an astronaut

She's a bit annoying though.

I thought that myself. Don't think I've come across her before.

 

[Magicpole]

I preferred the old name for this thread.

She does history programmes on various channels and they're usually quite interesting.

Just had a quiz show-y thought. Let's say that Pointless is somehow still going in 10 years, and this question comes up: "Name the members of Man City's treble-winning squad from 2022-23."

Who do you think would be a "pointless answer"? Or, to put it another way, if you were on the show and this was your final question, which three names would you go for to try and win the prize? Let's say it has to be players who actually made an appearance, so Carson wouldn't count.

They did it for the 1981 cup final, city only had two players who were not pointless.

If it wasn't a city fan who was answering, I'd say Haaland, DeBruyne, Grealish, Foden and Stones would probably be the answers not pointless.
The rest probably would.
Ake, Dias and Bernardo probably pointless.
Any time a sports team come up, the majority of the players are pointless.

Tony Henry being one?

Do you know who the two players were?

 

[East Level 2]

Celebrity Weakest Link this afternoon: Thick as fucking pig-shit, the lot of them.
Blamed the intensity of being under pressure but they are all professional performers.

 

[Corky]

Do you know who the two players were?

Think it was Paul Power and Tommy H, included both games .

 

[Stephen230]

I’ve been so bored this week I’ve caught a few repeats of old episodes of Bullseye.

A couple of them have been from the first series in 1981 on ATV before it switched to Central. Poor old Jim is all on his own. No Tony Green. No off screen guy announcing the prizes.

But the real eye opener is Jim’s interviews with the guests at the start of the show.

Fuck me, if it was on now, he’d be arrested on numerous charges before he got anywhere near the third couple.
