Pointless Board Game

Product Information

In other words, this is one of those quizzes where the lower your score, the greater your chance of winning.

On occasions when BBC1 carries live broadcasts of major news or sport events, the programme is transferred to BBC2, for example during the pandemic of 2020.is always donated to every team who fails to either reach the Final or win the jackpot and any money won by a team is split equally between the two charities represented by its members.

Can I name the least popular answers to try to score the least number of points to general knowledge questions? As of Series 6 – Both teams compete in a multi-question best-of-three contest; while the format is the same since Series 3, all questions have five answers with each team choosing one. From late June to mid-July, the programme usually takes a two-week break to make way for the Wimbledon Tennis Championships.Each team is given an equal number of turns; if at least one team has exceeded 100 at the end of a pass, the round ends and the lower-scoring team wins. Once a question or pass is complete, depending on the specific format of the round, any remaining pointless answers are stated along with the high-scoring answers given in the survey, usually the top three.

Armstrong, who the previous year had been lined up to present Channel 4's Countdown only to back out for fear of being pigeonholed as a presenter, [9] agreed to present what was perceived as a lower-profile show, with the presence of Osman helping to convince him. After series 27, Richard Osman resigned from the regular series (remaining as co-presenter on Pointless Celebrities) and for series 28 is replaced by six presenters in rotation: Sally Lindsay, Alex Brooker, Lauren Laverne, Stephen Mangan, Konnie Huq and Ed Gamble.Pointless is a game where you have to guess the most obscure answer to a general knowledge question. Two of the answers are pointless, two are also correct but score some points and the other two are incorrect (often with a tangential and humorous link to the question). Pointless has become a staple of teatime TV over the years, with countless contestants attempting to win themselves a stack of cash by correctly guessing the answers that nobody else did. This rule was relaxed for the programme's 1,000th episode, in which four past jackpot-winning teams were invited to compete again.
