The parents of ZX Spectrum musician, ROM author, scribe and TV pundit were on BBC "Pointless" last night.

Pointless is a quiz show hosted by two Cambridge Trinity graduates one of which is Clive Sinclair impersonator Andrew Alexander.

Rupert's father Christopher is a retired Anglican vicar, who then became a pilot and translated the entire bible into limerick verse.

Pushed for an example Christopher told co-host Richard Osman "You'll have to buy the book".

It's available on Amazon with "Look Inside" :-)

They didn't win the show so return tonight for a re-try when we will learn more about mum Doreen.

I'm sure Rupert said somewhere that one of his parents had donated an invention to a museum.

Elsewhere, Rupert nailed the reason why the BBC was correct to choose the micro:bit rather than the pi.

Thanks for the correction. (Andrew Alexander was the financial journalist who died earlier this month.)
