3.0

Lively, interesting and full of facts that probably won't win you friends, but might win you Pointless. (To be clear, that's a compliment, because Pointless is amazing.) Suffers a bit from a lack of a strong editing hand, which results in enough mistakes to notice, some repetition and a tendency towards overusing passages from other material — this is the reason for three stars instead of four. On the whole, would definitely if you fancy something short and light but still want to learn a thing about an unusual topic.
