Pointless. Not life in general- the quiz programme, dear readers.

No, I’m not admitting to being a viewer. I was just waiting for The

Six o’ Clock News. Honest.

You know, I feel really sorry for Alexander Armstrong. He gets to keep

the music from his comedy programme, but doesn’t do his dad dancing

any more with his wee pal. And he’s related to Royalty, which makes it all

as embarrassing as Pippa Middleton’s pontifications on Burns Suppers.

(The Bard’s epic opus reduced to Lovely stories.)

Can you imagine Boris- also a Royal, by all accounts- asking what the

least likely answers would be to a given question. He usually

expresses those himself and doesn’t expect a trophy, either.

Matthew Pinsent was also shown to have blue blood of the deepest

ultramarine on Who Do You Think You Are? I don’t think you would

catch him asking what a liger was on prime time TV.

For, yes, that was one of the questions dreamt up by that specky guy

who makes up all those surreal sections, such as Crossover Animals.

A hundred ingénues were interviewed as to what they thought a

beefalo was and amazingly, a third of those so pressed came up with

the notion that it was a cross between a bee and a buffalo. Think

about it. They probably think that Sean the Sheep was the prototype

clone, not Dolly.

The so-called celebrities actually got this beefalo one right. I’m not telling

you the solution: work it out for yourselves. Only 0.5% of the

viewing audience recognised any of the contestants, though,

including moi-meme. So, does that mean I get a really low score and

win the jackpot. I doubt it.

Who is that specky guy?
