Is it possible that anybody could have heard of all these so called celebrities. My main point is the final anwser which was name a country that is surrounded by 5 other countries. This answer given was Congo which was wrong as it is a river Yet the quiz thought it was a country although it did not win. Too many mistakes from this quiz lately

Mmm, I'm beginning to think gollob has a point. Democratic Republic of Congo and Republic of Congo do differ so who claims the diminutive 'Congo'?

Ha! I just watched this on bbci catch up. Less "Pointless" more "Clueless" I think.

Alexanders slickly dropping in the phrase "Ding dong Merily" when she got the Pointless answer was gold!

Of course the Congo is a country! It's where they drink Um Bongo! ;p

The point here is that Pointless has used the Republic of Congo and the Democratic Republic as answers in previous programmes, many times. They should at least be consistant .So now we have 3 congo countries according to Pointless
