I agree. There might be some point in a long-running joke if the original joke was sufficiently witty. But it’s boring, repetitive and unkind. It’s caused me to take a very dim view of R. Osman.
Ben Miller is leaving Death in Paradise, a programme which is a ratings winner and exported around the globe. He was filming in an exotic location in the Caribbean with the gorgeous Sara Martins. Ben Miller's lost his marbles.
Right...I am not a real Bond fan, I'm afraid, but... Wasn't three blind mice the opening theme tune to Dr. No? It didn't get mentioned so maybe that is a false memory on my part. As a kid, I remember the tarantula crawling up Bond's bed to this tune. Please, someone can put me right.
...because the entire point of the show (which is called "pointless" for a reason) is to give an answer that the majority of people would *not* give. Goldfinger is the answer that *everyone* would give and therefore the worst answer possible.
My first thought was From Russia with Love. What was the song for Dr No? There was also one Have no Fear Bond is Here I think by Herb Alpert and Tijuana Brass but I'n not sure. I think it was on the first Casino Royale film.
Wasn't the theme tune to Octopussy just called "All time high" not "On an all time high"? So should have been a score of 100, not 0...... Also was the first Bond theme song not to include the name of the film in its lyrics, for perhaps obvious reasons.
"That's debatable.." Harsh! lol! But why did I have the distinct feeling that retribution for that remark would have been forthcoming had his team not been (sadly) eliminated?
Alexander's script hasn't changed a bit in eight years, but what about Richard's hair? Looks like the old plastic Beatles wig you could buy in the sixties. How long did that take in make-up? At least today it's only a can of hairspray a day, in those days it was full-on boot polish.
I would have gone for the bond films that were so awful no one remembers them so, another way to die was from the atrocity that was quantum of solace but then Ed did remember that one, other one would be die another day
The problem with the Title-named Bond Themes is the fact they are named after the title. Many wouldnt know the name of all the songs, but could guess at the names of the films. I was shocked that From Russia With Love wasn't named because if you were going to go with obscure bond songs, that would be it. It is often dwarfed by the theme from Dr. No and Goldfinger that many forget the second film altogether.
That's what I expected, but apparently it wasn't in the top three. Skyfall was third and it received only 39. Moreover, the other Pierce Brosnan era songs had low scores even though they were both named after their movie.
My idea for comic relief would be to write and ask celebrities how much they would pay not to appear on this excruciatingly embarrassing show, then give all that to charity and save all that time and shameful ness
I think celebrity versions of game shows are the worst simply because the celebrities don't behave. They talk over each other and the host, thinking they're being funny. And they usually come across as a bit dim
I was expecting Armstrong to say "kill them" at the end. So disappointed.
Or "I bit him on the nose"
They like, well should of talked like this or some shit like that, isn't it though?
Samusf19 - Isn't it?
isn't it, thou?
Standard!
For real.
Harsh.
Armstrong totally missed the opportunity for a "Kill Them" joke...
I've got so used to John-Jules with an accent on Death in Paradise that watching this seems weird.
Antti Björklund kept waiting fr him to go chase a shiny thinggggg
or talk about his FEET!!
Ben Miller should have done his RAF pilot when he got dismissed "it's totally unfair. I is gonna sue you an that!"
" that's actually against my human rights, it's Geneva init, standard."
'Harsh!'
I can’t remember the time of night this was shown. After 9 the he could have said what you said by ending it with “ gonna sue you an all that shit!”
Ben Miller is so underrated
he is nt underrated. he s good, just not in a numbing assinine quiz show like pointless every day.
he is
I agree
I agree
He is, quite simply, absolutely priceless
Poor Ben, he did better when he was a contestant on "How many hats?", which I feel is a far superior gameshow.
That was obviously scripted. There's no way he was that good.
I know Danny is famous for his outfits, but almost a dozen comedians on the same stage and not one pointed out that he looked like a jockey...
it’s strange to see danny john jules and ben miller not in DiP
Goldeneye was a cracking bond tune
Alexander puts on a brave face, but never quite manages to completely disguise how hurt he is by the Ben Millar jokes.
I agree. There might be some point in a long-running joke if the original joke was sufficiently witty. But it’s boring, repetitive and unkind. It’s caused me to take a very dim view of R. Osman.
Harsh!
I think Danny John-Jules has been on a few times, and I don't think he has ever gotten past the first round.
Fantastic! :D Thanks for posting!
wish we could see the entire episode .. love this show
I expect Alexander watched them walking out and thought "My dear Watson".....
I just have to say, the first Bond theme that came to my mind was "All Time High", but then I always liked that one...
+Aileil I'm glad this show reminded me of the song - I gave it a listen when I heard the answer.
I couldn't remember that song so I paused this video to listen to it. I've forgotten it again already.
6:09 Sorry Charlie. It's "All TIme High". Not "On an all Time High." Not so much "proper Bond knowledge" there, I'm afraid.
Ben Miller is leaving Death in Paradise, a programme which is a ratings winner and exported around the globe.

Ben Miller's lost his marbles.
He said it interfered with his family life with his wife and children and they didn't want to come over to the Caribbean so he had to leave.
The only one i could think of was "Another way to die". Weird they didn't get it...
Although I probably only know it because I'm a Jack White fan!
being young, 'another way to die' and 'you know my name' would have been first on my list if I was in the 100 people asked
Please upload the full episode!!
Right...I am not a real Bond fan, I'm afraid, but... Wasn't three blind mice the opening theme tune to Dr. No? It didn't get mentioned so maybe that is a false memory on my part. As a kid, I remember the tarantula crawling up Bond's bed to this tune. Please, someone can put me right.
14:00 - What about the 'James Bond Theme' from 'Dr No'? (Or the calypso version of 'Three Blind Mice', for that matter.)
I understand why Goldfinger isn’t as popular as other James Bond movie theme songs in the UK. I even heard it on Absolute Radio once.
I’m actually shocked at some of the scores. They seemed to have asked a 100 people where the majority haven’t heard of James Bond
Who?
@@davidsmith5523ha ha ha ha
Ed byrne isn't bad either
Was live and let die not a bond theme?
It absolutely was. But it’s probably the most famous one. Given it’s a Paul McCartney song covered by guns n roses.
They showed the top three and it wasn't. I was very surprised by this as it's a cracking song!
How the hell did 44 people not immediately say "Goldfinger" when asked to name Bond songs?
That's a good question, I'm not the biggest James Bond nerd and thought of Gold Finger straight away
...because the entire point of the show (which is called "pointless" for a reason) is to give an answer that the majority of people would *not* give. Goldfinger is the answer that *everyone* would give and therefore the worst answer possible.
Ah of course!
My first thought was From Russia with Love. What was the song for Dr No? There was also one Have no Fear Bond is Here I think by Herb Alpert and Tijuana Brass but I'n not sure. I think it was on the first Casino Royale film.
@@alterego846 honestly you just gave me a little more hope for humanity, if a certain portion pointedly don't answer the most blatantly obvious
I initially thought it was going to be Ben Miller having a go at the Kardashians and the like. Oh well...
Wasn't the theme tune to Octopussy just called "All time high" not "On an all time high"?
So should have been a score of 100, not 0......
Also was the first Bond theme song not to include the name of the film in its lyrics, for perhaps obvious reasons.
It's Going to Piss Down!!
The Boy from Dwarf eliminated in Round1 smegging hell.
Cat was always a bit dim.
I always thought OHMSS was Louis Armstrong - all the time in the world
+Tom Williams Productions It was - that's the closing theme. Would have been allowed I'm sure.
Except they said 'official them' and 'opening credits'
and the theme isn't called On Her Majesty's Secret Service. It is the normal James Bond theme.
Tom Williams Productions - I do like the Louis Armstrong song, it was used on one of the Guinness ads that featured Rutger Hauer. 👍🏻
"That's debatable.." Harsh! lol! But why did I have the distinct feeling that retribution for that remark would have been forthcoming had his team not been (sadly) eliminated?
Does Armstrong at any point lean into the mic & say " kill them"?
Sadly the theme to OHMSS isn't OHMSS. It is It's A Wonderful World.
MarkOfTzeentch
They wanted the title music, and there is no singing in the titles of OHMSS
Oh yeahhh!
End theme. Not the opening theme.
6:23 - pointless answer - 6:32
Why only half the episode??
because it's miller on pointless and he didn't stayed until the end
Alexander's script hasn't changed a bit in eight years, but what about Richard's hair? Looks like the old plastic Beatles wig you could buy in the sixties. How long did that take in make-up? At least today it's only a can of hairspray a day, in those days it was full-on boot polish.
MAYBE I HAVE AN-
''But Goldfinger?'' Haha!
Thaaaaats numberwannnnnnnng!!!
Celebrities? I only knew of three. The rest were nonebrities.
A.M. Fortas I only knew 2: Ben miler and Danny mainly because of death in paradise
They're quite well known in field of comedy, your ignorance isn't the fault of the programme
I would have gone for the bond films that were so awful no one remembers them so, another way to die was from the atrocity that was quantum of solace but then Ed did remember that one, other one would be die another day
Wanted to answer "For your eyes only". Thought for sure that would be a pointless one.
The problem with the Title-named Bond Themes is the fact they are named after the title. Many wouldnt know the name of all the songs, but could guess at the names of the films.
I was shocked that From Russia With Love wasn't named because if you were going to go with obscure bond songs, that would be it. It is often dwarfed by the theme from Dr. No and Goldfinger that many forget the second film altogether.
Nuuuuuuuuuuuuu! How much was _Die Another Day_ worth?!? Why you no tell us!! It's the only one I know. ;(
It's very well known, so it would have scored a heap.
That's what I expected, but apparently it wasn't in the top three. Skyfall was third and it received only 39. Moreover, the other Pierce Brosnan era songs had low scores even though they were both named after their movie.
or do I ? ....
Richard Osman = Legend
My idea for comic relief would be to write and ask celebrities how much they would pay not to appear on this excruciatingly embarrassing show, then give all that to charity and save all that time and shameful ness
Osman.....still earning for being insufferable
5:49
If you look closely, you'll see that the girl next to Ed has snorted coke
Sexy in specs
9:34
I think celebrity versions of game shows are the worst simply because the celebrities don't behave. They talk over each other and the host, thinking they're being funny. And they usually come across as a bit dim
breh
Eh, this show is pointless. (badum tsss)
well all celebrities are pointless so I don't get the joke
Every time I see Richard I dislike him just a tad more
Infantile PC multi-culture comedy.
Cry more!!
It’s a game show, how are you even remotely expecting edgy banter.
