[Just a reminder that we’ve got a Eurovision post for the semi-finals all set-up already, so it may be an idea to take your Euro-chat there<\/a>.]<\/p>\n

Tonight! As well as the Eurovision semi, it’s The Christie Factor<\/strong> raising money for Christie Hospital, a quiz written and presented by none other than Gordon Burns. You can listen and play along to it on BBC Radio Lancashire\/Manchester live from 7-10pm, although you should be able to listen to it online as well<\/a> in the UK. It is promised to be ungoogleable.<\/p>\n

So! Lots of Red Dwarf<\/em> fans held a convention recently and one of the Things That Happened is a special Red Dwarf<\/em> episode of Pointless<\/strong> called Goitless<\/strong>, hosted by none other than Proper TV Person and Line Up contestant<\/a> Ian Symes<\/a> ably assisted by pointless friend Danny Stephenson<\/a>, who did all the graphics.<\/p>\n

I RT’d the links to the questions weeks ago on Twitter, they were a mixture of proper geeky Red Dwarf<\/em> things and related general knowledge – I quite enjoyed Red Dwarf when I was a teen but I can’t say I’ve any massive need to go back to it (although I have many chums that have). This being said, a standard person should have no trouble playing along with round two and there’s a question on Robot Wars<\/strong> house robots in round three (which I really struggled with at the time which is a bit embarrassing). You could almost cetainly have a go at the Final as well.<\/p>\n
