I have only recently got into this show but I love it. Its no worse than the other game shows airing in Australia at the moment. At least its something different from the usual game shows we get here. ---

There are too many pop music questions but other than that I find the actual quiz part of the show pretty interesting most of the time. They go to a lot of trouble to have variety in the subjects and the forms of the questions. I think it’s a very well designed format too - with teams of two rather than individuals, no conferring for the first two rounds, the last round fitting the title and the money being hard to win, etc. I just wish the ABC would get some new series. Are they so cash-strapped that they have to have series 9, 10 and 11 from five years ago on infinite repeat? ---

From the Pointless filming sessions, it doesn’t look like it. I doubt it will be just a once a week show. ---

I just think the format of Pointless will be hard to compress into a 30 minute format, hence why people are suggesting a move to 5pm might be possible. ---

Channel Ten have been airing promos like this similar to Million Dollar Minute in 2013/15.

I hope those graphics aren’t a sign of things to come, typical beige corporate Ten garbage. Ten would have been wise to follow Seven’s example and created a faithful replica of the original but instead I’m convinced they are going to ‘enhance’ the format for local audiences which will only ruin it. ---

They are only showing repeats from 2014, so not sure they will be affected. I assume Ten only has the rights for the Australian version and doesn’t have control over the original. ---
