Pointless

 A whole round of a quiz show dedicated to our brothers Martins – I saw this live and licked my lips.

 Yes the great game Pointless had a whole round dedicated to getting the most obscure Martin you can think of (from looking at five pictures). The whole episode text is in the link (ever the bit about non-martins as we are a fair bunch). Scroll to 26mins to see the important round. You will see that at least a few of the five Martins have been officially recognised by us as part of our annual festivities but some of them maybe haven’t, and at this point I would just like to remind you all of Martin Rule 28.4.7.M.A.R>T>I>N, which states that “Whilst submitting a Martin round of a Martin quiz  as a Martinmas entry any Martins which appear on the Martin round of the Martin quiz will be deemed to be the IMP (Intellectual Martin Property) of the Martin which submits the Martin round of the Martin quiz, i.e. only this Martin submitter can submit any of the Martins mentioned on the Martin round of the Martin Quiz as a future Martinmas date, although he may give written permission for another Martin to use it under excepational circumstances such as death of a fellow Martin/unexpected closure of Martins newsagent etc”.



 Back to the show, see if you can spot 19 mentions of the great word in the transcript. I think there is a link to watch the whole episode. No doubt they will have a button on so you can fast forward to the Martin round also.



 YES MARTIN. IT’S BEEN MAD.
