a new occasional thread, pondering the headscratching moments you see or have seen on quiz shows

Today's pointless

the two contestants reach the final


they choose "British Cinema"

They've never heard of David Lean, on whom pointless answers are required for one of the final sub-sets

Its been fifteen minutes, and I am still shaking my head

The question being "why choose British cinema if you've not got a good knowledge of it?", right?

+1

Sometimes you'll get couples that struggle with what category to go for or youngsters that have knowledge blind spots. Presumably by the tone of the OP they were quite optimistic on British cinema.

I like it when someone on Eggheads picks Kevin for things like History. Food and Drink or you're sitting out the last round. Them's the rules.

There was a fun question on two tribes. Basic premise for those who haven't watched is you get asked a question and if you're wrong it passes to the next player and if they're wrong it passes to the nest until everyone is wrong and game over.

Question: What vowel does *whatever it was represent in morse code*' in morse code?

Player A: E. Wrong.
Player B: Pass!!!
Player C: S!!!

Game over.
