The reason we don't see the Libyan flag is because this was made during the Libyan Civil War of 2011 where Gaddafi was overthrown and killed as well as the flag changing (though both flags do contain the color green).
@@johnlehmann9044Yeah, it was actually recorded before the overthrow and Pat said that the flag was all green in his explanation, which it still was, but by the time it came out 7 months later, it wasn’t.
Why is it nearly every one of these shows features something to do with pop music , is it because the general range of knowledge is very much restricted to this kind of question. And questions to do with art, history, geography, archaeology, literature and the wider world seem never to be asked because we are dumbed down so much we lack basic knowledge thesedays?
I might be very wrong here but i don't think that pop music is quite as important to having a basic knowledge of Art or Literature, you may think it, but i don't.@@beaubrent
You will get no arguement from me that pop music is an very influential cultural force, but has it 'enabled diverse and thoughtful voices'.....................I don't think it has in a wider sense, and i don't think i am 'pretentious' but if you do please continue to think that way. @@greyguessrfm5620
Because the show wants to appeal to as many people as they can not just the "intellect". If they had 'higher brow" categories then you wouldn't get the wide variety of contestants that they get. Could the reason you don't like the Pop Music category is because you don't know the answers.
🇨🇫🇨🇫🇨🇫 Great memories indeed!!!😎😎😎👍👍👍
Top dawg!
Such a good performance,shame about the final but well done on getting two pointless answers during the main game 🥇

How did only 58 out of 100 say Ireland? That is crazy to me, especially as it's UK based.
How someone without knowing ANY flag of ANY country in the world thinks its good idea to go to Pointless?
The Sumatran is my favourite of all the rhinos, very delicious. Goes well with puffin.

What, do they have a policy of editing away outdated information or something?

Thank you.
32:37 Zero e lode!!!!
One wrong answer completely ruins the competition of the first round. Happens so often
Nice!!!
My answers would be Burkino Faso or Zambia.
Bolivia would have my answer for the first question
Albania doesn't have green

I think it can easily be argued that music is as much a cultural category worth knowing as art or literature and has as much cultural impact.
