YoungWillz 21,066 Posted February 12, 2020 23 minutes ago, Grim Up North said: One of jackpot options on Pointless last night was cast of The Longest Day. As it's over 18 months since I picked these three I was struggling more than I should have been but remembered Michael Medwin to impress Mrs GUN with an obscure pointless answer (although not one mentioned on the show - I had to show her on IMDB). So although all three live on this pool has provided me a small crumb of success. Patrick Jordan not fresh enough in your mind? Or wasn't he pointless?

Bibliogryphon 9,589 Posted March 9, 2020 Max von Sydow meets a familiar face and gives @paddyfool his second hit so Gerald Harper and Jamie Farr are joined by the 88 year old Gunnel Lindbloom. So game on. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Added to that if Stanley Baxter were to go next that would mean @Grim Up North and @Cat O'FalkO'Falk could be in a tie break situation. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clorox Bleachman 2,452 Posted May 18, 2020 Michel Piccoli's death means that my hopes are resting on Jean-Louis Trintignant. What are the odds of him going before Leslie Phillips and co? Squeaky bum time now. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So there's likely to be a natural gap between the two. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
