spongebob Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Don't know if it's on a +1, but the BBC1 TV show 'Pointless' just had a bass players round a few minutes ago! I won't spoil it for you - I managed all 14 answers - but only managed one above the lowest in each. Quite an entertaining bit of banter between the hosts as well surrounding us bassists!

LiamPodmore Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I'm definately going to go and find that on Catch Up tonight. I've not been watching it much lately, 'cause i got out of my routine when i finished work. Liam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spongebob Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 Worth checking out - I think 99% of us on here can guess all the answers - but the Pointless bit is tricky! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhysP Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Pointless - bass players - fits in well with the general publics' perception of our function then..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingBollock Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Slightly off topic but my wife appeared on Pointless earlier this year. She didn't win but she did get to the final on the first day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamPodmore Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I got 13 out of 14, but my the answers i chose were the best 2, so i didn't do too bad. Liam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougal Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Just watched an entire (wrong) episode on bbc iplayer. Damn you basschat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziphoblat Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I got them all apart from two from the first round, I think it was Coldplay and McFly or something, so nothing I was really missing out on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EliasMooseblaster Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 The question is, how many people saw the name and actually recognised that person as the bass player, and how many saw the names and thought, "oh, I'm sure (s)he's in Coldplay / McFly / The Wurzels"?

KiOgon Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 I didn't get Guy Berryman but the others were easy, can't believe the lowest score was Chris Wolstenholme, being current like! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthurhenry Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 As a bass player, it was quite strange to watch. Imagine not knowing who Geddy Lee is! That's inconceivable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neepheid Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Caught up with it last night, got every one except the McFly one. Decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merton Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Got them all, mystified as to why Chris Wolstenholme scored so low. Porbbaly becasue they didn't call him Chris.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayPete1977 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 (edited) Just watched too, got 13 of them and pleased to say the one I did not know was the guy from Coldplay The thing I always love on that show is the person that goes last always says they only knew the 3 answers the other players knew! So she knew Gene Simmons was/is in Kiss but none of the others? yeah right Edited May 30, 2013 by stingrayPete1977 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbass4k Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I'm embarrassed to say I got all of them (that means I know who the bassist in McFly is, hence the embarrassment). I actually guessed Chris Wolstenholme would be the lowest, I watch a fair bit of Pointless (yea I know...) and from a lot of the questions it's clear the sample is generally more middle-aged, on music questions that span a few decades the 70's 80's stuff is always more popular. And I remember there was a question about Prime Ministers and Harold Wilson and James Callaghan scored more than Tony Blair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
