To never trust Richard Osman again

[MelvinThePenguin]

I'm currently watching Pointless while the baby sleeps.

There was a question about identifying films with vs in the title.
One of the options was F E vs J N. The team won the point by saying Freddie vs Jason.

It's not Freddie vs Jason though, is it? It's Freddy vs Jason.

I love Richard Osman. How could he let this happen?

No, I don't think they ever corrected the University Challenge question.

The correct (disallowed) answer was The London Hospital.

Paxman said it should have been The Royal London Hospital, despite it not having that name until 1990 (and the question referring to Victorian England)

I was on Pointless about 4 years ago and he was rude AF.
I'm sorry.
I'm just so sorry.

WashingMatilda
what?! No!

:O Matilda

Washing, I am reporting your post. I'm sure it must be against Talk Guidelines to say anything that could cause me this much pain!

Ethel in that case there have been two incorrect University Challenge questions .
I can't remember it very well, but it was something like the correct answer should have been Algeria and JP said it was Turkey (or something vaguely along those lines - remember being incensed at the time )

I think there must have been 2 incorrect Only Connect questions too. The one I remember wasn't about Tinkerbell (brilliant!) but something to do with an incorrect picture. It was scientific and I would never in a million years have realised the error.

Completely irrelevant info but dd11 and I saw him in our local arts picturehouse. Everyone was studiously ignoring him whilst at the same time time clearly thinking, please god don't sit in front of me.....

washing how did you do on it? Did you get a pointless answer?

My DD1 was at a bar trying to order drinks, he - Richard Osnan - tried to order before her, she called him out on it and he actually said the immortal line ‘Do you know who I am’?
‘No, that’ll be 2 g & ts please bartender’.

I once found a six letter word on Countdown (murage, as you asked) when Susie Dent and the contestants could only find five letter words.

DH persuaded me not to email them to let them know

la la la, I'm not listening!

I fear my image of R Osman was irredeemably dented when I heard him pronounce "nuclear" as "nucular". It just makes me cringe.

I've never trusted him. His lips look like they're inside out.

I'm actually feeling quite damaged by these revelations.

Zootropolis was called Zootopia in the US and lots of other countries. It actually makes more sense (play on utopia, not sure why the title was different in the UK).

Robert De Niro could perhaps get away with a 'don't you know who I am' (even though I would tut at his bad manners), but someone who's second billing on a teatime quiz show? My dear boy I do not think so!

I have also reported washing

Simply cannot, cannot be true

CRIES

Robert De Niro could perhaps get away with a 'don't you know who I am'

Or Brian Blessed, if for no other reason than I'd love to hear him bellow it in a crowded room...

I'm so sorry Scabbersley. I feel so responsible!

I was going to say the same thing MummaGiles.

I am sorry but this just can't continue.
Trust me, I was as devastated as all of you. But someone needs to say something.

( I got a pointless answer of 'Carpathia' for shipwrecks and we got all the way through to the final round with the trophy but alas did not walk away with the money no thanks to 'Halle Berry films' that bitch)

RESPECT

(Jungle Fever? Executive Decision?)

@WashingMatilda

What was Xander like?

Scabbersley Executive Decision was pointless!

Handmaids Xander was really really lovely and fit
