I had the complete misfortune to find myself watching Pointless Celebrities on BBC1, which came on after Final Score and the News. I was amazed to find out what now qualifies one as being a 'celebrity'. I was amazed to discover that not only is the term mis-allocated, it is never seemingly rescinded despite people being unheard of for years.
Lee MacDonald and Erkan Mustafa? What the fuck? Two people talking about Grange Hill from over thirty years ago!
Sarah Greene and Mike Smith? Alistair Armstrong's introduction included "We know you best for . . . " as the preamble for some bollocks about their TV pasts, but I remember him for a helicopter crash (???)
Peter Duncan and Mark Curry? Yawn . . Blue Peter tosh from many years ago.
Jamie Theakston and Jayne Middlemiss? Well, at least I've heard of them and seen them this century. Just as well they won.
Alistair Armstrong came out with some dire dialogue:
"We're going to show you five pictures of culinary fruit and vegetables."
"After round one let's have a look at the scores as they stand."
"Well done, Jayne, a very good start to your pointless career."
All pure pointlessness.
