  • Ben Miller teams up with Danny John-Jules to try his hand at Pointless, as part of the Comic Relief episode. Broadcast on the 2nd of March, 2013.
    The rest of the episode doesn't matter. If anybody needs me, I'll be off in this corner over here sulking.

      I agree. There might be some point in a long-running joke if the original joke was sufficiently witty. But it’s boring, repetitive and unkind. It’s caused me to take a very dim view of R. Osman.

    Right...I am not a real Bond fan, I'm afraid, but... Wasn't three blind mice the opening theme tune to Dr. No? It didn't get mentioned so maybe that is a false memory on my part. As a kid, I remember the tarantula crawling up Bond's bed to this tune. Please, someone can put me right.

  • @hywodnsu
    @hywodnsu 3 роки тому

    Wasn't the theme tune to Octopussy just called "All time high" not "On an all time high"?
    So should have been a score of 100, not 0......
    Also was the first Bond theme song not to include the name of the film in its lyrics, for perhaps obvious reasons.

    • @alterego846
      @alterego846 7 років тому +6

      ...because the entire point of the show (which is called "pointless" for a reason) is to give an answer that the majority of people would *not* give. Goldfinger is the answer that *everyone* would give and therefore the worst answer possible.

    Alexander's script hasn't changed a bit in eight years, but what about Richard's hair? Looks like the old plastic Beatles wig you could buy in the sixties. How long did that take in make-up? At least today it's only a can of hairspray a day, in those days it was full-on boot polish.

      That's what I expected, but apparently it wasn't in the top three. Skyfall was third and it received only 39. Moreover, the other Pierce Brosnan era songs had low scores even though they were both named after their movie.

    • @MarkOfTzeentch
      @MarkOfTzeentch 7 років тому

      The problem with the Title-named Bond Themes is the fact they are named after the title. Many wouldnt know the name of all the songs, but could guess at the names of the films.
      I was shocked that From Russia With Love wasn't named because if you were going to go with obscure bond songs, that would be it. It is often dwarfed by the theme from Dr. No and Goldfinger that many forget the second film altogether.
