BBC’s hit daytime quiz show Pointless is now looking for fun, confident, and quiz-loving pairs to take part in a new series.
If you love trivia, enjoy random facts, and have a talent for thinking of answers that most people would miss, this could be a great opportunity to appear on one of the UK’s most popular game shows.
About the Show
Pointless is a unique British quiz show where the aim is not to score the most points, but to score as few as possible.
Contestants are challenged to give correct answers that are also obscure. The fewer people who thought of the same answer, the lower the score. The ultimate goal is to find a “pointless” answer, a correct response that no one else gave.
The show is hosted by Alexander Armstrong and features teams of two competing across several rounds of general knowledge questions. The winning pair then moves on to the final round, where they have the chance to win the cash jackpot and take home the famous Pointless trophy.
