Just to remind fans that the new series starts tonight. I am hoping to improve my average of answering one question correctly

Hurrah! Thanks for the heads up

by **TeresaFoodie** » October 22nd, 2018, 3:34 pm

Am looking forward to it. :tu:

I'll be lucky if I even get one question right! :lol:

Just found out in time. Settling in front of the TV with a bottle of Oktoberfest Bier!!!

by **TeresaFoodie** » October 23rd, 2018, 8:52 am

I was reminded last night that I am red hot at the missing vowels round, but other than that, I'd have to get my coat. :lol:

by **suffolk** » October 23rd, 2018, 10:23 am

I love doing the Walls ... was successful with both last night (polishing halo

)

I'm not so hot on the missing vowels tho' :rolleyes:

by **earthmaiden** » October 23rd, 2018, 5:40 pm

Well done Suffs! I am still wondering what the first wall last night was all about! I usually get the ones the teams get stuck on and vice versa.

by **Ratatouille** » October 24th, 2018, 1:32 pm

I'm out of practice with the walls. I completely forget about words to which you can add the same other ! Or perhaps I'm just showing my age?

by **Herbidacious** » October 25th, 2018, 7:04 am

Every time I read this thread topic I think of E.M. Forster! (Howard's End.)

by **WWordsworth** » October 25th, 2018, 9:13 pm

J absolutely loves it.
He's pretty good at the connections, we both like to have a go at the walls.
I can't be bothered with the missing vowels round.
Strange really because I also tune out for the final round in Pointless.

Really enjoy the last round of Tipping Point though.

by **suffolk** » October 26th, 2018, 6:49 am

Really cannot be doing with Pointless ... I find it so tedious ... pointless in fact :lol:

by **TeresaFoodie** » October 26th, 2018, 9:08 am

I'm not the only one to think Pointless is pointless then, phew. So boring! I'm not sure anything out there at the moment could beat Letterbox for being a waste of time though.

I think I managed five minutes of the first episode and that was enough.

by **suffolk** » October 26th, 2018, 9:42 am

Totally agree Tezza ... even Mel G appears less than enthusiastic about it ... in fact she seems totally unconvinced that it's of any use whatsoever :rolleyes:

As Eggheads is on earlier nowadays we record it and watch it when Letterbox is on ... that's fooled 'em

by **earthmaiden** » October 26th, 2018, 10:24 am

I have never heard of Letterbox.

Not a situation that needs to be rectified EM

by **aero280** » October 26th, 2018, 1:52 pm

It's just Hangman...

by **suffolk** » October 26th, 2018, 2:26 pm

It's not as good as Hangman ...at least with Hangman someone gets to draw something ... Letterbox is just plain boring.

by **aero280** » October 26th, 2018, 4:17 pm

I'm off-air for a while. Pointless has started!!

by **PatsyMFagan** » October 29th, 2018, 8:51 pm

I found Only Connect tonight … did get some of the connections, but didn't fare well on the walls … however, perhaps that's because I am jet lagged, or is that just an excuse

(hello everybody :wave:

)

by **suffolk** » October 29th, 2018, 9:40 pm

I kept shouting at them re the ‘gross’ row on that wall but they didn’t listen ... also the ‘walk the walk’ :rolleyes:

by **TeresaFoodie** » October 30th, 2018, 2:28 am

I got the mathematics one tonight no problem. 1+1=2...whatever the rest of it was... flowed quite easily for me right up to the fourth link, and I said it before they said it and I was dead chuffed that I got it right! Then I hit the two walls, then the missing vowels on politics for starters left me wanting to turn the TV over! So it was a topsy turvy episode for me which resulted in me needing a bit of moon watching and a cuppa. :lol:

by **scullion** » October 30th, 2018, 9:26 am

i caught a little of letterbox yesterday (i had had the budget on) - even mel seemed to be struggling to be interested/enthusiastic - dire.
haven't watched last night's 'connect', yet, as i was out.

That's my impression too :rolleyes:

by **PatsyMFagan** » October 30th, 2018, 11:11 am

Bill Turnbull also hosted a quiz show after leaving the Breakfast TV sofa … that too was dire. The current male host on breakfast tv (can't remember his name) is also hosting a quiz show of a similar calibre. :rolleyes:

by **cyprusmoira** » November 27th, 2018, 6:03 am

I would like to put on record that I got one answer corect on the first clue last night

Moira

by **suffolk** » November 27th, 2018, 7:01 am

by **earthmaiden** » November 27th, 2018, 9:17 am

Well done Moira! I thought the first wall was rather challenging.

by **cyprusmoira** » November 27th, 2018, 10:48 am

I thought that both walls were very challenging, I can usually get half the tiles but not last night

by **StokeySue** » November 27th, 2018, 11:27 am

I enjoy Pointlesswhen I watch it with someone else on a Saturday night with a glass of wine - we can play along and we tend to wander off into conversations related to the categories, not so much if I watch it alone. It’s meant to be a different kettle of fish to Only Connect of University Challenge and at least it’s not as dull as Eggheads (nothing is as dull as Rggheads)

I find Only Connect quite difficult, as you need to be able to read the screen at a glance, but I did quite well on the various sequences and then I seemed to know more answers than usual on UC

by **earthmaiden** » November 27th, 2018, 1:23 pm

I find the same problem with Pointless. My eyesight is alright but they flash the questions up then concentrate on the players. I want to read all the questions, I have less interest in the players!

by **StokeySue** » November 27th, 2018, 1:41 pm

I am now so used to having to remember what people say, because ther will be no legible notes, and Alexander Srmstrong reads very clearly, so I’m fine with Pointless most of the time

by **Ratatouille** » November 27th, 2018, 2:17 pm

We must have been on the same wavelength last night Sue! I somehow found some chemistry in the depths of my brain :bounce:

and Mr R said in astonishment "How on earth did you know that?" I hit him :lol:

Neither of us could do the first wall in OC this week.

by **aero280** » November 27th, 2018, 4:55 pm

I am enjoying the quirkiness of Richard Osman's "House of Games". It's in the old Eggheads spot and is far more entertaining than more news of Brexit.

by **TeresaFoodie** » November 28th, 2018, 12:32 am

Loving House Of Games too Will. Definitely more watchable than Pointless, Eggheads, Letterbox, and Only Connect is about as frustrating to me as playing a round of golf - I can't do it. :lol:

by **earthmaiden** » February 5th, 2019, 7:55 am

Was I the only one screaming at the TV last night? I thought that the walls were particularly easy (for once) but they were really struggling! The vowels made up for it though :evil:

by **suffolk** » February 5th, 2019, 8:21 am

I could hear you EM! I was doing the same ... why couldn’t they get those walls?
We did quite well on the missing vowels too ... the ones I didn’t get OH got. Most of the sequences were hard tho.

by **scullion** » February 5th, 2019, 8:42 am

but we all got the pasty one, at least?

by **suffolk** » February 5th, 2019, 9:51 am

Of course!!! :chef:

by **earthmaiden** » February 5th, 2019, 9:53 am

by **cyprusmoira** » February 5th, 2019, 9:56 am

We thought that the walls were easier last night too

Did you hear us from France??

by **aero280** » February 5th, 2019, 6:36 pm

Oh yes! Far too easy...

I just caught the walls. We had a minor flood in the kitchen. Once I had stopped the leak, I realised that the programme was halfway through.

by **scullion** » April 9th, 2019, 7:39 am

don't you just love it when you get one of the connections and the teams don't‽
i thought the walls were particularly hard last night, but then i suppose it is heading closer to the final.

by **earthmaiden** » April 9th, 2019, 8:14 am

Yes, they were very hard!

by **aero280** » April 9th, 2019, 8:50 am

It was hard, but I got a couple of the wall links, and I got the first round OBE/MOT link. But that was about all, apart from one or two of the missing vowels.

by **suffolk** » April 9th, 2019, 9:00 am

I got several of the connections ... I was shouting at the tv ... and most of one of the walls ... but the missing vowels were tough

by **cyprusmoira** » April 9th, 2019, 9:35 am

I could not do any of the walls, I understood the corvid connection but picked the wrong birds.
