The TV Quiz Show Thread

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.

Gomez & Ortaga but it's where the line is with youth players too.

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.

I remember one show when a "slightly" overweight lady was a contestant. You're on a sponsored slim I believe said Jim, yes I am, said the lady. Jim's response HOW MUCH DO YOU OWE THEM? Brilliant.
 
Just watched an old episode of Who wants to be a millionaire?

The question was "how many goals for England did Gary Lineker score?
The bloke went for 50/50 and it came up 38 or 48.
He then asked to call a friend, who was his son.
He spoke with his son, who said "48".

"How confident are you?" the contestant asked?

"50/50" the son replied!

Fortunately the son was correct and he went with his son's instinct.

Q. Hampshire county cricket club played a game (date given) on which island in the English channel?

Woman passed on it and the bloke correctly said Isle of Wight.
