anniehk-79954 I was unable to read the text of the questions( TOO SMALL). and am often unable to see the photo questions. Mainly I get to see the faces of the contestants and hosts. What use is that on a quiz show for viewer participants. IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING.!!!!!!!!.Wont watch again.SHAME cos I like quizzes.!!!!!!!!!!!!

jaquipeyton I love Pointless , Alexander and Richard are superb but I do sometimes think that some of the questions are geared more for men than women. For example football, rugby, basketball, snooker to name a few are mostly male sports. Yes I'm sure there are a lot of women who watch these sports but as I said they are watched and played by predominantly males. I for one don't watch any of these sports. I therefore feel it would make things a little more even if some of the questions were more female orientated, you may argue that there are some and yes there are but very rarely and certainly the questions don't come up as often as the above mentioned. It's just my opinion and I still love the show. Jaqui Peyton

mickthemuppet On the programme shown on the Monday 23rd of January 2012 two teachers from Scotland reached the final and their final question for £6250 was- Name an Australian Tennis player that won a Wimbledon tennis title either singles or doubles from 1980 to the present day. The finalists went for Mark Phillippousis,Mark Woodford and Todd Woodbridge. There first answer was Mark Phillippoussis which was 100 pointer meaning it was a wrong answer. Bong.Mark Phillippoussis won the Wimbledon Junior Mens doubles championship title with Ben Ellwood in 1994. If I were one of the contestants I would be after my prize money.

Tweekums Normally I'm not a fan of this kind of programme but for some reason I really enjoy 'Pointless'. I suspect this is largely down to presenters Alexander Armstrong and Richard Osman; they frequently have a laugh at contestants' answers but it never seems to be in a mean spirited way. It also helps that most of the contestants don't take thing too seriously; it isn't unknown for them to laugh as their wrong answers means they won't be going home with the cash prize.The format is simple; the game starts with four teams of two answering questions on various subjects and after each round one pair is eliminated. For each question the lowest score wins… A hundred people were given a hundred seconds to give as many correct as possible… the score gained matches the number of people who gave that answer and a wrong answer scores 100 points.The rounds are equally simple; using today's episode as an example: Round one: One person in each pair had to name a Country that had won Miss World, the other had to name an England goalkeeper.Round two: A list of six US TV shows was shown and one member of each team said which city one of them was set in, the list was then changed and the second team member named the city.Round three (The head to head round): The first team to get the best score for two varied questions gets to the final.The Final: The surviving team selects the topic, out of three possibilities, to be questioned on… today it was 'Sporting Greats' and they had to identify boxers who fought Mohammad Ali. In this round they give three answers and one of them must be 'Pointless' if they are to win the prize money… if they lose they still get the 'prestigious Pointless Trophy'.I don't always watch the programme but if I start watching or walk in to the room when it is on I'll almost always watch to the end. I like how the questions with have multiple answers so not only do you have to get it right you must try to pick one that you think few other people will know… there is also enough time for viewers to think of the answers so even if you aren't lightning fast you have a chance to compete at home!
