    I don't recall seeing this, I might play along, but if nobody else does then I probably won't.

    I just posted my views on the repeat situation on the POV messageboard. My username is PointlessFan if you are looking for the post. It's under moderation at the moment.

    EDIT: It's been approved!

    Typical Summer viewing. Recorded this, just got home, sat down and very disappointed.

    So 8 weeks of repeats coming?

    So *that's* why it was clubs Jose Mourinho had managed up to May 2011. And also why I remembered the mix-up over Suriname's capital.

    At least I won't have to worry about missing it when I'm in the Canaries.

    They do eventually come back but I think its later in the series. Don't know why he was upset as he said the answer completely wrong.

    i remembered that little american guy but didnt remember this episode, brilliant ending with that surinam answer though i do think alexander would have giving the benefit of doubt to the first guy if he had been an attractive female:D

    I don't know, I find that they can be a bit arbitrary in what answers they allow or don't allow. I seem to remember one show they wouldn't allow an answer that was wrong by someone adding 'The' to the front of a film. Richard said it was because there were still a few left to answer in the round.

    However, I remember them allowing a word in the words round that wasn't pronounced right, but because they spelt it out they were allowed the answer. It's like the Weakest Link at times, a contestant would give an answer and depending on the mood, it would be either accepted as an alternative or they would reject it out of hand as totally wrong. Even if the alternative was acceptable as well.

    I remembered parts of yesterday's episode, but not much, so it didn't bother me too much. But yesterday and today's episodes of Perfection were shown the week before Wimbledon.

    They clearly thought they were on an ITV show.

    I must have missed this episode first time around because I don't remember these twin brothers.

    I haven't seen any of these early episodes as I only got into the show last year so it's all new for me.

    The questions do seem a lot easier.
