Pointless Percentages (The BBC Quiz Show)

I find it interesting how low some of the percentages of people are, of those who get some answers correct. Take last night's show. Only 29% of a hundred people asked, could name Frank Skinner from a couple of photos of him. And only 28% could name Stephen "Sly" Fry.

I'd have expected the percentages to be much higher. How about you?

Frank Skinner, Stephen 'Sly' Fry, who are they ? Sound like some inner city gangsters

I think they might all be reading the excellent Newsnight thread.

Perhaps most people don't like their accents.

There must be someone on here who has seen Pointless and is capable of following the thread?

Let's be hearing from you!

I have watched it once, total waste of time.

Sadly repeated ad nauseum on the ABC afternoons now since the Liberals cut their budget - must have been cheap.

Perhaps the thread itself is pointless?
