I agree with Mikey.

Some quiz shows are now painful to watch.
didn't see that one Danny, Eggheads is my fav at the moment, thought Chris was going to cry when he was put out last night !
Chris is definitely the weak link on Eggheads.I'm a bit behind with 70 episodes recorded.
he's good on trains though !! not so much sport as was evident !
Just imagine Mikey, you're there, through to the difficult bit where you play glorified penny falls while a simpering cretin stands beside you babbling nonsense about ghost drops and riders and the question appears: What is Olly Murs famous for?
According to your logic you'd have looked like a right dimwit not knowing that (as per your answer yesterday) and the nation would forever know you as Olly Wales.
Everybody has their blind spots, yours for example, constantly typing program when the word is programme.

Just saying.
Not to mention the constant misuse of 'then/than'. Mikey really shouldn't bang on about 'education'.
Everybody is capable of getting a question wrong, Doug, but some contestants these days don't even have basic general knowledge.

Q: What was Hitler's first name
A: Heil
it does seem to be lacking rather NOM !
Dougie...program and programme is one of my weak points, but thanks for reminding me....again. Nesserssary is another !

The above questions are ludicrously easy, with the possible exception of number 6, although my dictionary gives millennia as the plural of millennium.

But, apart from an obvious desire to humiliate people, just what is the point of the other questions above ?

I realise that programmes such as this are not meant to be taken seriously, but there are other TV quizzes that manage to be both serious and entertaining, like "Eggheads"

As to your comments about Olly Murs, in the extreme unlikelihood of my appearing on "Tipping Point"
I might have guessed that he was a pop singer, or general so-called celebrity, by the fact that I was being asked a question with his name in it, on a TV programme such as this. My answer wouldn't have been that he was a Nobel Prize winner.
Some seem to aspire to being viewed as existing on a loftier plane than they do though.

My suspicions were first aroused when Mikey knew the price of all the offers in Lidl but had never happened across one of the more promoted 'entertainers' of recent years.
The two go hand in hand.

He doth protest too much.
It's my pleasure, Mikey, maybe tie a knot in you kerchief. :-)
With exception of question number 6, does anybody on here this morning really think that these questions were even remotely difficult ?
Dougie....Dmitri Hvorostovsky sadly died earlier this week.

Without googling the answer, do you know who he was ?

I will rely on your honesty.
now boys..play nice... I have no idea who he is ?
No reason why you should Minty, for the same reason that I shouldn't know who Olly Murs is !
go on then who is he ?
Is Rosemary average ;)

One of the very best baritones of his generation.

I was in the audience for the Cardiff Singer of the World in 1989, when he beat Bryn Terfel in the final. I had watched this pan out all week, and the audience was definitely hoping the local boy was going to win.

But as soon as Hvorostovsky, started to sing, it was obvious who was going to win the contest. He completely won over the crowd.

For a singer like him, to die so young, is a terrible thing.

Here he is, in a role that he made his own...Eugene Onegin :::

now that's one I don't know Mikey !
