	Oh! another thing on quiz shows... why is there that 5-10 second wait to see if an answer given, is correct, or not? (ie The Chase, Tipping point...)

	mind you, having said that, some of the first responses, mean that the contestant hasn't listened to, /or understood the Question properly.

	If he only asked once, he'd be able to ask twice as many questions ?

	I know its the point of the program/game, but why do these presenters HAVE to repeat the obvious/??? similar to comments on tipping point?

	I suppose it could be to allow the contestants some 'think' time.

	I love Pointless but I must say whenever Alexander Armstrong repeats the question I feel like screaming at the TV I've heard it once I don't need to hear it again :-D :-D

	I love Pointless, but I must admit I often wonder why the questions are read out twice. I'm sure it's just the format of the programme and meant to fill out the 45 minutes of time they have. Alexander Armstrong and Richard Osman are very funny if you get their sense of humour, and I could listen to Alexander's singing voice forever. Kath. x

	Pardon? :-D I always felt that Bamber Gascoigne of University Challenge fame mumbled a little too much.

	Why does Andrew Alexander insist on reading every question twice ? Does he think everyone's deef ? or does he like the sound of his own voice ?
