Pointless: Episode 4 (Head-to-Head 2)

[Cheery Dog]

I have my audience pick ready!

I'll try thinking of more in case it goes beforehand.

Also I'll join with someone

[Cheery Dog]

Since we're just getting started, I let gimmick re-read the question

They don't do that in the real show!

Because there are only 29 days in a leap year

[Cheery Dog]

South Sudan was my pick!

I was also going to settle on South Africa before I posted, but South Sudan is a less known place.

[Cheery Dog]

I'm surprised South Korea was on the highest scorers list though, i thought it would have stayed all european with Portugal.

maybe it was counted if they just said korea?
and then where does north korea place?

[Cheery Dog]

if they're like me they failed and just went artery.

[Cheery Dog]

Drench will go first.

[Cheery Dog]

Maybe this isn't the game show for me.

I haven't answered yet, you'll probably be fine!

because I know like 5 actors total and quite possibly am lame enough to have not actually watched any of those movies.
I feel like I might have watched one, but since I don't actually pay any attention to who was in it, and I'm fairly sure I don't own a copy to watch it again

so instead I'm going to go for a wild stab in the dark on the more obscure actor I can name and know they are an actor and hope they played one of these roles.
My basis of naming him here is he is an actor I remember being a pointless answer for something I knew one time i watched the show. I'm also pretty sure the other ones I can name normally do action movies and are unlikely to be used in groups like this.

Please everyone laugh at my hopeless actor knowledge. - I will always falter if it comes to having to name people

Alan Rickman

[Cheery Dog]

yeah that's what I thought.

I'm going to go research the other names (once it's confirmed Xalxe & SC actually know people) and see if there's any of the actors I could name.

[Cheery Dog]

I thought more people would have known Sochi than the first president. But maybe that's just my knowledge.

[Cheery Dog]

I assume they wanted his full name, and half the group had a blank after putting

[Cheery Dog]

I can only assume that people listed the wrong century for the great fire of London, that was the one I was most confident in as an already eliminated contestant.
because my first thoughts put all the answers in the 1900s

[Cheery Dog]

I'll just stop trying to turn Banjo's into cup shaped instruments now. (nevermind the association with Christmas)

[Cheery Dog]

those are more actors than I know!

[Cheery Dog]

Time to score myself another 100!

Position of when we're on the board?

[Cheery Dog]

Yay the one i knew wasn't the highest scoring!
Hopefully i know something about the second board as well though

(It would have been out of the ones people took though -billy Elliot for the record)

[Cheery Dog]

I'm not going to help, so thankfully Drench has put us in a position that me failing again doesn't mean the end of the world because i also know none of these.
at least I'm fairly certain the other movies I can think of as having names in their titles are included here.

I'm pretty sure this is going to wrong, but my mind has blanked on all other possibilities of movies I've heard of, and although it's going to be something completely different, but the best i can do is a terrible guess.

is number 4 somehow

Edward Scissorhands

?
*joins SC under the podiums*

[Cheery Dog]

It's something i might actually know.
Drench can go first if that's what his claim there is though.

I think I've heard of two of the previous rounds films, obviously not enough to have got them.

[Cheery Dog]

I watched this question when it came up on the actual show.
But i don't remember any of those answers, so I'll stick with where i think i know is true.

New Zealand

[Cheery Dog]

I'll just continue sucking. I thought the kiwis had done better in actually having it official.

[Cheery Dog]

gah i went to the wrong neighbour!

(I knew australia and US and probably even UK) weren't counted for the same reasons I failed that round.
