Alexander Armstrong hosts this unique quiz show as contestants try to score as few points as possible by coming up with answers no-one else can think of.
No matter the show, no matter the country, no matter who it is saying the words, if that one name comes up, there is an irresistible urge to insult the man in any way possible. It's like everyone in the media is totally infused with TDS. Gotta wonder why that is. So much for intelligence on this show.
Now I'm wondering if the palace players of my youth would have qualified. John Salako, Geoff Thomas, Eric Young, Andy Gray, Mark Bright, Ian Wright (who probably wouldn't be pointless).
The group was called The Commodores not Commodore, so when Richard said Commodore, I thought it would either be a naval rank or the Holden Commodore (Australian car)
Not really. They were the better team according to the quiz masters and actually had disadvantage having to go first if they let on they were making one up.
the producers set up the first round horribly... I mean the lowest scorer on the first board was in the 30s, while on the second board there were four answers scoring lower than that, including two single digit ones! wtf?? you should at the very least put one of those single digit ones on the first board
Richard was right about there being well boring questions. You notice how they aways slip in a really stupid one just to make sure clever people don't always win. Quiz shows hate that.
@@andylbonczyk1 The Island Group are situated far far North of where you live, i would have thought that one in 100 Brits may have heard of them, i apoligise because it looks like i was wrong!!
The Lofoten islands form part of the Norwegian Sea. The northern 'border' of the North Sea is the Shetlands; the Lofotens are much, much further north (within the Arctic Circle). I imagine only a tiny minority of people in the UK would be aware of their existence.
Round 1: There were 46 (47) possible answers and I think there are at most 20 pointless answers (I got 2 of them 🎉🎉🎉🎉) Pointless Final: Got one pointless answer 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉)
I loved the poetry question. It is really telling of the education system that Dan thinks that these classic poems are an obscure subject that no one knows anything about. The older pair, Liz and Jane. knew most of the answers, whereas the pairs in their 20s did not. Whereas if I had to answer anything about boy bands, girl bands or many pop acts of the last 20 years or so, I would really struggle.
The second round question wasn't a matter of how many in their audience didn't know those, but how many they couldn't squeeze in during the 100 seconds they had to list them.
What planet did they get the guacamole recipe from? In Mexico and the U.S. it's lime juice, not lemon, and I've never heard of chili powder being added.
I've got another Round 2-style question. Xander: So, our Round 2 question concerns "James Bond Women". In this round, we're about to show you a list of James Bond women. We asked 100 people to tell us which film that these particular women appeared in. Richard? Richard: In each pass, we're going to show you six Bond women. You have to tell us what film they appeared in. The more obscure the answers, obviously, will score you fewer points. Any wrong answer will give you the maximum of 100 points. First Pass Anya Amasova Dominique Derval Melina Havelock Giacinta Johnson Kissy Suzuki Wai Lin Second Pass Tiffany Case Teresa Di Vicenzo Mary Goodnight Kara Milovy Camille Montes Natalya Simonova
Well, since nobody wanted to try this question, I might as well give the answers...

Domino, played by Claudine Auger Melina Havelock--from "For Your Eyes Only", played by Carole Bouquet Giacinta Johnson--from "Die Another Day", a.k.a. Jinx, played by Halle Berry Kissy Suzuki--from "You Only Live Twice", played by Mie Hama. Incidentally, she was never addressed by name in the film itself, which comes from the end credits. Wai Lin--from "Tomorrow Never Dies", played by Michelle Yeoh Second Pass Tiffany Case--from "Diamonds Are Forever", played by Jill St. John Teresa Di Vicenzo--from "On Her Majesty's Secret Service", played by Diana Rigg, the only woman to marry James Bond Mary Goodnight--from "The Man With the Golden Gun", played by Britt Ekland Kara Milovy--from "The Living Daylights", played by Maryam d'Abo, co-author of the book "Bond Girls Are Forever" Camille Montes--from "Quantum of Solace", the most recent Bond film as of the date of this particular episode, played by Olga Kurylenko Natalya Simonova--from "Goldeneye", played by Izabella Scorupco
imagine hyping yourself up like that and then chickening out with Andorra... the fuck was the point of that preamble then Fred. And damn near still the highest scoring answer even after everyone else had given both their answers as well (one point from it). Would have loved it if it was.
When Churchill said we will fight them on the beaches he did of course mean you, you will fight them on the beaches while I stay here and make flowery speeches. Just like Elizabeth I was very brave when other people were fighting on her behalf.
I only find 4 permanent private halls of Oxford University, what are the other two? Blackfriars, Campion Hall, Regent’s Park College, and Wycliffe Hall.
