Title: Pointless
Post by: Cf on March 26, 2010, 12:32:11 AM
Not seen this before. Basically appears to be RSQ on TV

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00rq3h4/Pointless_Series_2_Episode_14/

Contestants appear to be morons. All the guy at the end of the first round needs to do is not get a wrong answer from "top 20 unis in UK". He decides to "play it safe" by going for Durham. wtf. Oxford, Cambridge, Manchester, surely???

watched it for a few weeks, end round seems hard to win for the amount you actually get.

Surprised Durham is not in there tbh, it is traditional place for Oxbridge rejects to go to. Certainly used to have a better rep than Manchester.

we had a thread about this last year, or maybe it was in tighty's diary or one of the rsq threads

I'd put Durham above Manchester too, and would have expected it in the top 10 never mind top 20.  I'd probably struggle to be sure of anything else over oxford and cambridge.  I can't be bothered watching it, are York and St Andrews in there?  and top 20 in what?

But I don't even know what RSQ is.

Durham is surely a top 20 UK university?

'Tis according to this (and Manchester isn't):

A couple on that list were rejected on the show. Must have used a diff list. Obv as farcical as the rsq.
