You're bang on with Scottish Cities. That's an example of a category. Tony, you were on the right track but you've gone really random now. You got 5/6 of the letters right, but you didn't give me a category!And the Canary Island one hasn't been answered yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted February 6, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted February 6, 2014 Watched Pointless yesterday. Final question was to name an actor or actress who'd appeared in at least 36 episodes of The Wire. I got 3 pointless answers, boom! Anyone?
