Not really, can't see the point.:D

Actually, yes I have caught it a few times but don't watch it regularly,  I quite like it though, clever idea.

I love it when someone thinks they've got an obscure answer that no one could possibly have thought of and it comes up with a point or 2, even AA looks shocked

I like it when Richard is surprised by how low or high some of the results are. In that a question a few weeks ago was about who was in the cabinet and only 44 people said the Prime Minister. He was saying that they had spice girl questions that had scored higher than that!

When it took over from The Weakest Link I really wasn't that fussed but over the last while I've been slowly drawn into it so that now when I get in from work I'm constantly switching between Pointless and Deal or no Deal trying to keep up with both and failing. Not sure about that Richard bloke though. Can't decide if he's a know-it-all trying to be a comedian or the other way around

Oh I couldn't stand Weakest Link, I wanted to punch Anne Robinsons lights out she annoyed me that much I couldn't bear to watch it.

I always thought it was old folk who watched the tea time quiz shows!

I couldn't bear the WL either or AR. Always playing up to her evil witch image and being unnecessarily cruel just for the sake of it. By comparison (he says bringing things back on topic) Pointless is quite refreshing

As for being old hmmmmm not going there. (Who says age doesn't necessarily bring wisdom)

I used to see it sometimes and wasn't too sure, but like AS says, it is quite addictive and I like to watch it now when I can.

Richard Osman used to write for 8 out of 10 cats, HIGNFY etc. He works for the compnay that makes the show and did the co host job whe they made the pilot to sell to the BBC. They liked him so offered him the job.
