How on earth could the Red Priest not be on the list of 100 greatest composers? The Four Seasons is among the most popular pieces of classical music ever written.
@@rogerjohnson6676i think you should be mad at youtube for showing the top comment. people don't know they will get the top comment i guess. it's very unfortunate so many videos spoiled by it
This shows why top 100 made by individual critics are hardly ever relevant, no matter the topic, at least in terms of relevancy, which is quite important to the tv show.
People were asked to name a significant NZ city starting with A, and only 11% managed "Auckland". Miindblowing. But not as mindblowing as more than half the survey not naming Mozart as a composer of a Classical Top 100 piece.
I would have thought that the burial place of Hailie Selassie's younger brother, Prince Lowlee Selassie was the family vault may have also be mentioned.
There's no pointless dolphins in the world. I've never swum with them sadly. But I have seen them up close in the wild on the far northern reaches of the UK. And not from a boat trip either. When touring Scotland with the wife and (then young) kids, we noticed a lighthouse brown tourist sign that desinated a spot of interest. Turns out it was a place where the dolphins regularly swim near to the shore to play. There was a spot no more than 20 feet across on the waters edge crammed with camera bods. And the dolphins did in fact swim in and play for 10 minutes or so whilst we were there.
I always get confused because Johnny Whittaker played Jody on a series from my childhood, "Family Affair." You say "Jodie Whittaker," I see a curly haired 8 year old.
I remember that show, it was shown in Australia. It also starred Sebastion Cabot and Brian Dennehy (I think, not sure if I spelt Brian's surname correctly) I don't remember the little girl's name, but her doll was called Mrs Beasley.
@helenbartoszek243 Brian Keith. An easy mistake, actually, though Keith is older. The little twins, Buffy and Jody, had a high school age sister named Cissy. Uncle Bill had a butler named French, Mr. French, (Cabot) who acted as nanny.
Dolphins are really quite sweet, especially if they are poached in a little white wine. I wouldn't poach baby orangutan though, they are better deep fried.
What is it with saying "so.." before every sentence? I'm coming across as an old fart here I'm sure. But it's awful to listen to people butchering what should be simple grammar.
I mean, Alex Armstrong finishes almost every single sentence with indeed, even when it's irrelevant grammatically, and it does not seem to bother you so whatevs 🤷🏼
This is the 3rd episode (that I have seen) where the "US VICE PRESIDENT" has not been selected @PointlessUK = please send that episode's link/full episode
My favourite Mozart piece is "Rondo Alla Turca". Or, as I love to call it Lemmings. Tchaikovsky is nothing like Coldplay. Tchaikovsky composes music instead of crap.

popularity doesn’t equal greatness
though I personally estimate Vivaldi as a great composer too
@@FenceThis , Le Quattro Stagioni has been popular for centuries. It's not Baby Shark. It's enduring popularity is indeed one marker of its greatness.
Anyone else noticed that after the first round, their scores were going up in steps of 15?
4 - 19 - 34 - 49
I am astounded that Vivaldi wasn’t on the list.
same
Excellent, then I won't guess him when I'm watching. I hate people who comment on answers like no one sees the comments while it's loading.
Arsenals

That Sibelius guess was pure class
richard should add antananarivo to his list of best named capitals, i think it's worthy of top 2 or 3
My word that name is annoying to pronounce
I always have my pointless answer ready for Composers and I always go with the one that shares his name with a pop performer from the 60s and 70's.
Vivaldi not on the list was criminal
How on earth did people get "chillax" but not "lightsabre"??
Perhaps people assumed that it was already in the dictionary.

I can’t help with that, so let’s go with one that either of know anything about 🤦♂️
0:26 You mean golf?
Gee Richard becomes sarcastic and flippant when a subject comes along that he knows nothing about.
It's called self deprecating humour

@MelissaThompson432 Brian Keith, that's right! I forgot about Cissy and you reminded me that he was the kids' uncle not father.

I got 10 of the Cities
I got all 12!
Unwatchable now with all the ads. Used to be ad free.
I don't get many ads. It depends on the algorithm. It varies by viewer.

Huw has a dry sense of humour. I haven’t read any Booker prize books but I’m reading all the time.
His answer of 'Bark.. Back.. Batch..?" in the first round marked him out as a thorough sort of chap. lol
Gareth should disown Huw. Astonishingly stupid and arrogant.
Kyle is hot 🔥🥵
Huw was annoying
He’s worse than annoying. Just an utter ars ehole.

It's a thinking pause, same as starting a sentence with 'err' or 'um'. Or the word ' well,' ......
