I'm horridly addicted to Pointless. I have it on series link and watch it at night whenever DH is away. I desperately want to be on the show, I even applied. Am I a sad git?

Meeeeeee! Watch it on catch up every night when I am in from work.

Ponders · 20/02/2012 21:27

YES! completely. Alexander A is so funny (loved the football manager called RightGuard tonight Grin)

have they suddenly made it a bit easier though?

wearymotherof6 · 20/02/2012 21:29

and meeee - my daughter and i watch it every day while preparing evening meal. Even sadder, we then turn over after in time for The Chase on itv+1!!

I have it on series record and DH and I watch it and play along as if we were actually on it, including debating who would go first and second in the first round. We have won thousands of imaginary pounds.

Love it! Richard O is a TV god! Well deserving of Wierd Crush award.

Ponders · 20/02/2012 21:30

I haven't won any Sad

mind you I only catch it occasionally - if I had it on series record there wouldn't be any room for anything else which would be grounds for divorce

ME ME ME waves frantically whilst jumping up and down!!

I love it!

Have been off work for 4 weeks with sickness (growing a baby related) and I became addicted (to Pointless...not anything terrible).

I adore Richard and if I wasn't already married then I would marry him (cause it's that easy) as well as Ricky Wilson!

BrianCoxHasScaryHair · 20/02/2012 21:32

You all watch it for the quiz.

I watch it to aide my rude dreams for Mr Armstrong.

FlightlessBird · 20/02/2012 21:34

Me too! Love Alexander Armstrong and his nonpointless friend Richard.

notpodd · 20/02/2012 21:35

I'm with frillyknickers - I love Richard - a little bit of nerd perv

Me!!! We record it and have pointless marathons, where DH & I compete!! Love it!!

Do you know there is a board game?? I saw it in WH Smith at Christmas!

notpodd · 20/02/2012 21:36

(and Ricky Wilson)

I love it Grin

I watch it on iPlayer when I'm having my lunch on the days that I work from home, sometimes often I watch more than one as I am indulgent that way Wink

A POINTLESS BOARD GAME

runs out the door

Damn. WHSmith is shut this time of night.

notpodd · 20/02/2012 21:49

a board game?

i don't like it, prefer the Chase

vj32 · 20/02/2012 21:51

We love it and so does my 9 month old. Isn't interested in kids tv but likes Pointless and the weather.

TCOB · 20/02/2012 21:52

I love it. A chance to kick back, have a cup of tea, and imagine being shagged out of my tiny mind by the utterly mindblowing Mr Armstrong. Oh and maybe a biscuit on the side.

ImpatientOne · 20/02/2012 21:53

vj that's funny but not as funny as a family I was working with last week and I asked if the little girl liked anything particular on the TV and the reply was that the Sky Guide is her favourite! Grin

HopeEternal · 20/02/2012 21:53

The Eternal household loves it! Although I did keep shouting NOOOO when they were doing US state capital cities today...

Pamsie · 20/02/2012 21:54

Me! I have it on series link and watch it every single day. I would love to go on the show if only I could find a willing partner. I love the banter between Richard and Alexander and I like that they tease contestants gently so as not to embarass them too much. I even follow Richard on twitter. Blush
I didn't know about the game. I'm off to find it.

SwedishEdith · 20/02/2012 21:55

Was stuck in a hotel last week for work. Found myself absorbed in this (and Pefection? Nick Knowles Blush) and was laughing out loud to the telly on my own

notpodd · 20/02/2012 21:58

I applied, with my star trek nerd friend, but we didn't get to the auditions. I was super disappointed.

Pansie You are super-right about the teasing the contestants. I love the little digs they get in at them, and each other.
