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.
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.

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.
@@purshottamadevadhikar5035It’s classical composers in the broad sense of “classical music”, not in the sense of “classical period”. For instance you have both Bach and Sibelius on the list, none of whom lived in the classical period between roughly 1750 and 1820.
It's probably a survey made of people who have minimal to no liking of Baroque music. It is the same with jazz music where a majority of fans totally ignore traditional jazz of the 1910s to the 1940s, including those recorded later but in that trad style.
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 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.
Where were the capital cities? A couple of the 'Cities beginning with A' were, but that still wasn't the round. A good episode this time, but disappointed in the clickbaity /misleading title
Who were those 100 people being surveyed in the first 2 rounds - school children? I was shocked how low some of the more obvious answers were. I’ve noticed in general, Brits are pretty good at geography, but how did only 28 people get Aberdeen in their own country?!
this is a great idea for a gameshow but it is sooooo sloowwww movvvinggg. why does he have to read all of the questions a second time when they are on the board?
Oh wow. This is probably the first time when I knew every single answer to the questions of round 2. I'm good at cities. That was surprisingly easy for me.
@@MrBenedictus25 no problem he was crazy, but Maradona was also crazy and brilliant so he is more similar. And Beethoven is seen as the best composer in the world even before Mozart and Bach.
Vivaldi became so popular in pop culture that people are starting to feel ashamed to say they like him because it is too popular. I guess it is his fault that he wrote pieces that will be liked amongst the masses forever and the purists have to look down upon him because his mysic is in a commercial or a movie or made into a pop song.
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.
Missed a major joke there... 'Ehhhhmmm', sorry was starting to voice along with it there for a minute. Although the word 'major' at the first part of this post was stupid enough I have to say. The dictionary part definitely partakes in the point of this show at least, being pointless.
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.
Yes Coldplay is crap compared to Tchai, but the joke still works, when one guy said Tchai music was anguished (true), then the the other guy joked that similarly Coldplay apparently tries to be emotional and anguished too, but Coldplay crap instead of Tchai good. My only experience with Coldplay was watching him make fun of himself on a Ricky Gervais sitcom episode, where Coldplay sang, yes, a crap song attempting to be anguished about failed love or whatever.
That Sibelius guess was pure class
Crazy only four people said it. Finlandia is a masterpiece
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 first round was a piece of cake for me since I live in a neighborhood where most of streets are named after classical music composers.
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
Everybody knows that, even English!
Ulaanbaatar and Mogadishu also come to mind!

Is that how it work? I thought 11% said "Auckland" as a reply for "Cities Beginning with the letter "A"".
@@MrYamazaky yeah that's how it works, they then add the clues for the show but people on the street are only asked about A-letter cities
wat? who cares about NZ
76% of people couldn't get slam-dunk from a thorough description of it and half the letters?!
Brits, so not shocking.
Fiirst question was basically "name any classical ccomposer you've ever heard of" thinly disguised as something specific.
But Vivaldi wasn't on there, so it's not that simple.
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.
Grimm Bros.?
The "not that one" :o)
Vivaldi not on the list was criminal
Vivaldi's technically baroque not classical, so might be why they didnt include him.

Vilvaldis viewed as a one hit wonder by most experts. The four seasons being that wonder.
Anyone else noticed that after the first round, their scores were going up in steps of 15?
4 - 19 - 34 - 49
How on earth did people get "chillax" but not "lightsabre"??
Perhaps people assumed that it was already in the dictionary.
Saber versus sabre likely threw them off
The spelling is weird and not everybody is a star wars fan. Chillax is a very common word today.

Huw has a dry sense of humour. I haven’t read any Booker prize books but I’m reading all the time.

Bizet
Poor Tāmaki Makarau pronunciation being butchered like that :(
Good grief - all they do is chat! lol Play the game!
Engelbert Humperdinck is on the list of classical composers?! His music is NOT classical.
Not interested in the back stories. pLAY THE DAMN GAME
So shocking that people are so dim.
