TV & Literature 1. Name a book written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle 2. Name an American sitcom that started after 2010 3. Name an Eastenders character who had a dramatic death 4. Name a Poet Laureate of the United Kingdom 5. Name a famous science fiction author 6. Name a historical moment that was broadcast live on television 7. Name a Netflix original TV show that ran, or is running, for more than one season 8. Name someone who has lost to Ant and Dec for "Best Entertainment Presenter" at the National Television Awards 9. Name a book written by Roald Dahl 10. Name a Shakespeare play where a character's name doesn't appear in the title (ie. not Hamlet, Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet, etc) For Pointless... all books and plays required must be fully published novels and plays. No collections of anthologies, one-off poems, or whatever. I require full names for #3, #4, #5, and #8. For #2 I will accept sitcoms that debuted from 2010 onwards. For #7, I will allow shows where there have been different seasons under different names of the same show, but they must have been a show that was commissioned by Netflix first - not picked up by Netflix from another channel.

All hail the Moyesiah

Surprised at Dreamcast losing out by so much, thought that was easily the most iconic console

I did fine.
The Pokemon question was a miss, but I have never played any Pokemon game for more than 10 minutes so it's expected. |

Once again, there are 20 participants so any incorrect answers are worth 20pts.
Pointless 1) Name an animal species that appears in the Animal Crossing series as a potential neighbour Shaun - Goat Niamh - Deer Rob! - Boar Calderyon - Octopus Strictly Jake - Eagle Jake - Ostrich Cherie - Hedgehog Liam- - Koala Smithy - Chicken MTVN - Kangaroo Black Dagger - Sheep Jessica - Octopus Mitchell - Lion Matthew. - Kangaroo Tony Montana - Dog AnnieK - Alligator MB - Pig Cal - Elephant Babayaro - Hippopotamus Denver - Duck Hmm... there is a debate to be had here over whether Boar is an eligible answer. Two boars do appear in the series, but they are visitors that come along every Sunday morning to sell turnips. I don't know if that constitutes a neighbour 2) Name a console released by Sega Shaun - Saturn Niamh - Genesis /Mega Drive (said '32X' which was an add-on for the Genesis) Rob! - Pico Calderyon - Game Gear Strictly Jake - Saturn Jake - Nomad Cherie - Master System Liam- - Game Gear Smithy - Dreamcast MTVN - Game Gear Black Dagger - Mega Drive / Genesis (said 'CD' which was an add-on for the Genesis/Megadrive) Jessica - Pico Mitchell - Master System Matthew. - Genesis / Mega Drive (said '32X' which was an add-on for the Genesis) Tony Montana - Genesis / Mega Drive AnnieK - Saturn MB - Genesis / Mega Drive (said '32X' which was an add-on for the Genesis) Cal - Genesis / Mega Drive (said 'CD' which was an add-on for this) Babayaro - Dreamcast Denver - Master System This could easily have been a bloodbath if I just let everyone who named an add-on score an incorrect answer, but there were so many of them that sharing a popular answer seemed punishment enough The Saturn, Dreamcast and Pico score 1pt, Master System and Game Gear score 2, and the Genesis/Mega Drive and its many add-ons score 5pts. 3) Name a playable character that appears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Shaun - Lucina Niamh - Ken Masters Rob! - Falco Calderyon - Ryu Strictly Jake - Chrom Jake - Dr. Mario Cherie - Inkling Liam- - Ice Climbers Smithy - Zero Suit Samus MTVN - Luigi Black Dagger - Wii Fit Trainer Jessica - Mario Mitchell - Lucas Matthew. - Kirby Tony Montana - Link AnnieK - Bayonetta MB - Galleom Cal - Dr. Mario Babayaro - Mario Denver - Falco Not too much damage here, but maybe naming Mario isn't the best strategy in a question where there's like 100 different answers 4) Name a film based on a video game Shaun - Pokémon: Zoroark: Master of Illusions Niamh - BloodRayne Rob! - Pokémon the Movie: Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel. Calderyon - Max Payne Strictly Jake - BloodRayne Jake - Super Mario Bros. Cherie - Pokemon the Movie: Hoopa and the Clash of the Apes Liam- - Resident Evil: Degeneration Smithy - Angry Birds Movie 2 MTVN - Alone in the Dark Black Dagger - Far Cry Jessica - Lara Croft: Tomb Raider – The Cradle of Life Mitchell - Resident Evil: Afterlife Matthew. - Wreck It Ralph Tony Montana - Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time AnnieK - Mortal Kombat MB - Alone in the Dark 2 Cal - House of the Dead 2 Babayaro - Far Cry Denver - Rampage One grey area here again: Wreck-It Ralph. It's based on a fictional video game but does feature a lot of cameos from real video games I'm on the fence here. We could probably all have score a pointless answer if the question was "name a movie based on a Pokemon game" 5) Name a Pokemon type, other than Grass/Water/Fire Shaun - Ice Niamh - Rock Rob! - Normal Calderyon - Rock Strictly Jake - Bug Jake - Normal Cherie - Ground Liam- - Bug Smithy - Steel MTVN - Ground Black Dagger - Steel Jessica - Fairy Mitchell - Ghost Matthew. - Fairy Tony Montana - Electric AnnieK - Fairy MB - Rock Cal - Bug Babayaro - Ice Denver - Dragon 1pt for Ice, Normal, Steel and Ground. 2pts for Bug, Fairy and Rock. Other potential pointless answers: Dark, Fighting, Poison, Flying and Psychic 6) Name a video game where zombies are featured prominently Shaun - Zombie Wranglers (2009) Niamh - Dead 'n' Furious ("Touch the Dead" in America) (2007) Rob! - Plants vs Zombies Calderyon - Infected Strictly Jake - Stubbs the Zombie Jake - Beast Busters Cherie - Zombie Wranglers (2009) Liam- - Entombed Smithy - Plants vs. Zombies 2 MTVN - Corpse Craft: Incident at Weardd Academy Black Dagger - Dead Rising Jessica - Killing Floor 2 Mitchell - Zombie Safari Matthew. - Call of Duty: World at War Tony Montana - Dying Light AnnieK - ZombiU MB - No More Room in Hell Cal - Entombed Babayaro - Dying Light Denver - Zombie Lane Plenty of variety, plenty of games I will never play 7) Name a button that features on any PlayStation controller Shaun - Up Niamh - Square Rob! - Up Calderyon - Down Strictly Jake - Select Jake - R3 Cherie - L1 Liam- - Select Smithy - Circle MTVN - L3 Black Dagger - Share Jessica - Left Mitchell - Left Matthew. - Left Tony Montana - Square AnnieK - Options MB - R3 Cal - Home / Playstation Babayaro - Select Denver - X Fun fact: if you type all of these buttons in order in the new Tony Hawk remaster, you can unlock a skateboard that says "Wettie!" on it R3, Up and Square score 1pt. Select and Left score 2. Other pointless answers: R1, R2, L2, Right, Start and Triangle. 8) Name a game someone might play on their mobile phone, other than Candy Crush Shaun - Kim Kardashian: Hollywood Niamh - The Witness Rob! - Tenable Calderyon - Final Fantasy Brave Exvius Strictly Jake - Bubble Tea! Jake - Mario Kart Tour Cherie - Altos Odyssey Liam- - WWE Supercard Smithy - Doorman Story MTVN - Football Manager Black Dagger - Bitlife Jessica - Tangle Master 3D Mitchell - Speak to the Manager Matthew. - Akinator Tony Montana - Tetris AnnieK - Snake MB - Geometry Dash Cal - Jumping Fish Babayaro - Monument Valley Denver - Bitlife Unsurprisingly, the world was our oyster for this round. So close to a perfect score. 9) Name a Killer from Dead By Daylight Shaun - The Plague Niamh - The Deathslinger Rob! - The Demogorgon Calderyon - The Doctor Strictly Jake - The Executioner (Pyramid Head) Jake - The Clown Cherie - The Legion Liam- - The Plague Smithy - The Demogorgon MTVN - The Huntress Black Dagger - The Blight Jessica - The Wraith Mitchell - The Pig Matthew. - The Leatherface Tony Montana - The Hag AnnieK - The Hillbilly MB - The Leatherface Cal - The Spirit Babayaro - The Trapper Denver - The Nurse lowkey annoying being the only one on this list to play it and score a point Only three other potential pointless answers and they were the Oni, the Shape and the Nightmare 10) Name a game released by Valve Corporation Shaun - Day of Defeat: Source Niamh - Team Fortress Classic Rob! - The Orange Box Calderyon - Portal Strictly Jake - Counter Strike: Neo Jake - Left 4 Dead 2 Cherie - Counter Strike: Condition Zero Liam- - Half-Life 2: Deathmatch Smithy - Portal 2 MTVN - Dota: Underlords Black Dagger - Portal Jessica - Team Fortress 2 Mitchell - Counter Strike: Online 2 Matthew. - Garry's Mod Tony Montana - Left 4 Dead AnnieK - Team Fortress MB - Half-Life 2: Deathmatch Cal - Counter Strike: Condition Zero Babayaro - Counter Strike: Neo Denver - The Lab Hold your hands up: how many of you actually heard of any of these bar Portal Scores AnnieK - 3 Jake - 3 Smithy - 3 Denver - 4 Mitchell - 4 MTVN - 4 Cherie - 5 Rob! - 5 Shaun - 5 Calderyon - 6 Jessica - 7 Strictly Jake - 7 Tony Montana - 7 Babayaro - 8 Black Dagger - 9 Liam- - 9 Niamh - 9 Cal - 10 MB - 10 Matthew. - 11 Congrats to Annie, Jake and Smithy on the best score!

Just another warning for the Arthur Conan Doyle question: it must be a novel, not a short story written in a periodical of his time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur...e_bibliography
The 'novels' tab here will be your friend. Anything else is incorrect.
