The shocked visage you see above is that of an especially annoying, over-confident contestant on last night's Pointless, realising that he'd just given an incorrect answer and had thus been eliminated. It was much like the bit in a movie where the evil genius realises that his sinister plan has backfired and he's not going to gain control of the world after all. (Oh what's it called, you know the one I mean... Evil Genius Sinister Plan Man.)
Anyway, this may not reflect especially well on me, but that has to one of my favourite ever moments from Pointless (which is a brilliant enough programme already). I mean, you can't beat a bit of schadenfreude at the end of the day (or at the beginning or middle of it), can you? To borrow a phrase from semi-legendary football commentator Barry Davies: look at his face! Just look at his face!
The question in question was as follows, by the way:
Who voiced King Louie in Disney's The Jungle Book?
Our man confidently answered Louis Armstrong (which would have been my guess too).
The actual answer was: Louis Prima. (Never been so happy to get something wrong!)
Anyway, all is not lost for old matey up there, as, like all contestants on Pointless, he gets another chance to play tonight. He'll probably go on to scoop the jackpot second time round, but who cares? We'll always have that priceless moment of realisation and the 'O' face up top.

I am not a violent man but he has a face you'd like to smack, for sure.
I would have known it was Louis Prima, but then I am a smug git.
Fair play to yer. His face definitely reflects his personality.
BTW we miss you on the trivia quiz (well, I do). Come back!
Smug git shortage?
Ha. Not quite. But I think you and Adam would be quite evenly matched and it would be interesting to see who'd come out on top.
There's no smug git shortage on the quiz.
Word veri - terse. Indeed.
It's actually a prerequisite for joining.
