AIBU to not be able to stomach Richard on Pointless?

[HoveringKestrel]

I enjoy this show, but my heart sinks when the camera pans to him. He puts me off completely.

Alexander Armstrong does an excellent job of hosting and then you have this bloody know all with a computer with no personality.

What is he doing there?

He devised it, is witty, clever and self-deprecatingly popular.

But he's a trained doctor, and tax payers pay quite a lot to a doctors training?!

I think he's rather lovely

Yabvvvu
He's funny and seems genuine. I'd quite like him as a friend to share a bottle of wine with.

I trained as a geologist. It doesn't mean I have to have my face caked in bitumen every minute of the day.

Yabvvvu. He is lovely and the other one is boring, unfunny and looks like the child of a Tory politician and an elf.

Ok maybe it is just me and I'm being unreasonable. I just can't warm to him.

Is it his height?

Ooh I like him! He's cute, funny, clever...yeah I'd marry him

Oh and hes not a dr im pretty sure he read something like english at cambridge

YABU. Richard IS Pointless.

You know what I mean.

Haha its not his height, I LOVED Andre the Giant in 'the princess bride'...ooh that film makes me feel happy.

I love Richard. He is single and looking for the right lady....

He's not a medical doctor . And the laptop isn't real. I think he's funny.

He's a giant. I swear if he stood up he would be about 8 foot tall. he acn hardly get his legs under that desk.

He's single?!

How did I not know this!

Is he really single?

His brother was (is?) the bass player in Suede, a fact i love. He very proudly name dropped when i was watching once. The was a britpop round and was massively knowledgeable. I loves him.

another big vote for Richard here. He was on HIGNFY a few weeks ago and was the funniest by a country mile.

He would have been the year above me at Cambridge...different colleges though, I didn't know him unfortunately.

And his DC are the same age as mine.

Clearly it's destiny!
