BARROW was a pointless answer on the popular TV quiz show.
In the first round of Monday's episode of teatime quiz Pointless, contestants were asked to name lesser-known football teams that played in the third round of last year's FA Cup.
One of the contestants ventured Barrow - and was overjoyed to receive the best possible score of zero.
Barrow AFC lost out to Barnsley in the cup competition in January after the thriller ended 5-4.
Host Alexander Armstrong told the Pointless player Marcus his answer had earnt him 'our undying respect'.
Former Coronation Street actor Sally Lindsay has been standing in for former co-host Richard Osman, part of a rotating cast of six celebrities, following his departure from the daytime programme.
Providing a Barrow fact, she told players a submarine featured on the club's badge.
Following her on the BBC One game show will be Stephen Mangan, Lauren Laverne, Alex Brooker, Konnie Huq and Ed Gamble.
