The main presenter is crap, he isn't funny and seems to always make the 'banter' with guests awkward and cringeworthy.

Maybe you just don't have a sense of Humour ?

I personally think He is a very witty Guy.

It struck me the other day that this program (Pointless) is like the complete opposite of Family Fortunes. When you think about it, FF was all about naming the most commonly given answers, and Pointless is about finding answers that as few as possible thought of...

how very observant of you.

call me a cynic but i can't but feel they can easily make up figures on the fly so no one wins the prize. of course you can't argue about right/wrong answers but it's easy to say 1 other person got it therefore no prize money for you...

as for alexander armstrong, he's ok but it's a bit lame when he talks about things getting "exciting". it really doesn't.

I assumed they surveyed the audience, looks like there's probably 100 of them there.

Me and the wife were in the audience for Pointless last year and we never got surveyed.

I think they ask people Stupid Street sometimes given some of the low scores to easy questions. The other night they wanted Team GB gold medal winners from London 2012 and the results were shocking.

Intelligent people are probably be going to be devoting proportionally more of their time to subjects requiring actual intelligence, rather than watching the Olympics on daytime TV...

Perhaps captcha gives us the answers? I did read an interesting article where the old books scanned by google put the words that can't be deciphered into captcha, but that's a debate for another time.

If they don't know what the word is, how do they know that you have entered the Captcha correctly?

Can't stand the smug git who is the "intelligence" on this show. He makes himself sound so smart when he's sitting there with all the answers he googled before the show, and i've seen him popping up on other things recently sadly and he has all the charm of a spotty teenager in an adidas tracksuit.
