That’s right! And after threatening to do some sort of retrospective for a while, I think it’s time to take a bit of stock.<\/p>\n
It’s always fun to go back to when shows first started and look at our reaction to them.<\/p>\n
Our first foray into the world of Pointless<\/em> was friend of the Bar Martyn went and saw an episode being filmed in series one. This was written up on July 31st 2009<\/a>. “It’s actually what would happen if Who Dares Wins<\/em> and Family Fortunes<\/em> mated – and it sort of works…\u00a0Alexander is a affable chap and if the edit allows him to be\u00a0 quickwitted and doesn’t cut out the post question banter with Richard then it\u00a0 will be a welcome addition to the land of quizzes… in the right timeslot (i.e not up against Edmonds or O’Grady) it may just become the sleeper gameshow of the year.” Bang on there, Martyn. And look! My addenum (“It’s unfortunate then than at 45 minutes, I suspect it’s going in Weakest Link‘s <\/em>slot…”) <\/em>turned out to be correct in the end so rerally, well done me.<\/p>\n (Although I think it would be prudent to ignore the final message in the comment box, “I wouldn’t get too excited just yet, I think the game sounds basically solid but I don’t think it’s going to excite too many people when it finally gets broadcast.” Or at least include this hilarious comment about Panic Attack<\/strong> (“In conclusion: Irish.”))<\/p>\n So what about Episode 1, eh? Well the video on Youtube doesn’t work very well. So here’s episode two (despite what the title says):<\/p>\n
