*Introductory theme tune*

Welcome to the twenty-third LetsSingIt Pointless quiz. Re-cap of the rules, as always...

Rules of the quiz:
- One answer per person (per round)
- Always give the answer you think the fewest amount of people would know
- If two people give the same answer in a short space of time, the first person's answer will be accepted (but the second can answer again)
- When applicable, a player may pick the same subject as another contestant and provide a different answer if they believe the other to be incorrect
- If you play the first round, please check back in case you make it through to Round #2
- Resist cheating (i.e. searching online for answers)

And of course, respect your fellow contestants and have fun!

Round #1 will be posted shortly and will remain open until Monday (or, when applicable, until each answer is taken) to give everyone a chance of replying.

* offtopic :
The records of previous winners and pointless answers can be found here.

...and let's play Pointless!

Several, and sure.

You don't have guesses for the other categories?

indiechick_ | 19-11-2014 18:28

i'm curious about a few ones

how high did "bad wolf" score? or "silence in the library"?

Juliet86 | 19-11-2014 18:29

No. I haven't watched the Tom Baker years yet, and I couldn't remember the names of any of the actors who've played The Master. (I've looked a couple up now, but that doesn't count.)

Let's see... The Lodger, The Girl Who Waited, The Girl in the Fireplace, School Reunion.

Joeyy | 19-11-2014 18:29

BAD WOLF was pointless, B.

indiechick_ | 19-11-2014 18:30

no way!

Joeyy | 19-11-2014 18:30

THE GIRL IN THE FIREPLACE was also pointless.

indiechick_ | 19-11-2014 18:30

i would've never guessed it because it'd think it would score high

Joeyy | 19-11-2014 18:30

Haha, yep. Why, is that a popular one?

Edit: Apparently so.

indiechick_ | 19-11-2014 18:31

same goes for girl in the fireplace

i'd skip these two easily thinking they'd be high scorers

Juliet86 | 19-11-2014 18:31

What? Bad Wolf is such a major thing.

Joeyy | 19-11-2014 18:31

I guess my smiley was misplaced there, ha.

indiechick_ | 19-11-2014 18:31

bad wolf is pretty iconic, i think

Joeyy | 19-11-2014 18:32

One of the episodes has the most awesome name.

Juliet86 | 19-11-2014 18:33

Yeah, the words bad wolf appear throughout the first series until we finally find out what it means. I guess people forget there's an episode with the name.

Yay, finally.

indiechick_ | 19-11-2014 18:33

it's one of my favorite, too

definitively my favorite season of the rebooted version

Juliet86 | 19-11-2014 18:36

One of the episodes has the most awesome name.

Oh, which one could it be.

Joeyy | 19-11-2014 18:40

I don't think there are many I'd think that about.

Juliet86 | 19-11-2014 18:41

No. Voyage of the Damned? Sounds like a zombie film.

Joeyy | 19-11-2014 18:45

Zombie films sound like zombie films (my point being there are numerous films with similar-sounding names :p)

'DINOSAURS ON A SPACESHIP'

Juliet86 | 19-11-2014 18:47

Oh, haha. That one shouldn't be pointless, it's so self-explanatory. There are dinosaurs on a spaceship.

Joeyy | 19-11-2014 18:49

Well the question wasn't "Which episodes are true to their titles?" ha

Juliet86 | 19-11-2014 18:50

I know, but if you're trying to think of names, you're not gonna go "Oh, what's the name of that one with the dinosaurs? I can't remember".

Random fun fact: David Mitchell has a voice part in that episode.

Joeyy | 19-11-2014 18:52

...Evidently people did.

Joeyy | 19-11-2014 18:52

And that doesn't surprise me since it's a British show and it seems most of our actors have been in it, ha.

Juliet86 | 19-11-2014 18:55

I know. It just came to mind as we were talking about it. More interesting is Giles being an evil alien.
