Pointless Board Game

Product Information

BBC Daytime re-commissions Pointless Archived 4 December 2017 at the Wayback Machine BBC Press Office. Pointless appeared in the BBC sitcom Not Going Out (Series 7, Episode 5); Armstrong and Osman both played themselves.

Each pass consists of two boards, each possessing at least one pointless answer and one incorrect answer, the latter usually having some indirect link (often humorous) with the question. Although the round follows a similar style to that of the "Possible Answers" format, there is no guarantee that contestants may find a pointless answer from within the list. 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. Series 14 took breaks on: 3 August–4 September, 30 September–23 October, 17 November 2015–1 January and 27 January–26 February 2016. If any individual answer is pointless, the team wins the jackpot; otherwise, the jackpot is rolled over to the next episode.Not only can everyone recreate the top BBC 1 quiz in their living room, now they can also experience the tension of revealing the points scored! With the start of Series 11 of Pointless Celebrities, the show's set design was changed with some new graphics and an updated intro replaced the one used since the show's debut; this extended to Series 19 of Regular Pointless.

On each episode, contestants answer a series of questions that were put to 100 members of the general public in a previously conducted online survey, which had a time limit of 100 seconds. They must specify which question they are attempting with each of their three answers and can only win the jackpot if any answer is pointless for its nominated question. If a team's answer is correct, they score one point for each participant who gave it during the survey; an answer given by none of the participants is termed "pointless" and adds nothing to the team's score. New questions, new simplified rules, and a replica trophy, all supported by an updated scoreboard app, adds to the realism of the BBC’s No. 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.It will also keep records of your team or individual scores, pointless trophies won, and who is the current pointless champion. Following the success of Pointless and its transfer to BBC One, the BBC commissioned a celebrity edition of the programme, entitled Pointless Celebrities. For the 1,000th episode, Alexander Armstrong and Richard Osman traded host and assistant duties and four previous couples who had distinguished themselves in various ways were invited to compete again. For all formats except "Open-Ended" and "Picture Board", the last contestant or team to play on a particular board is invited to answer as many remaining items as they wish before selecting one to use on that turn.

We've never changed it, but have always done it in the same way, which is slightly shoddy, enjoying ourselves. Picture Board – Introduced in Series 7, contestants are shown a grid of pictures or items and must identify one at a time. Replicating the witty and compelling BBC TV quiz show, you can bring all the fun to your living room. Series 2 to 5 – Both teams compete in a multi-question best-of contest; best-of-five for the Series 2 and best-of-three from the Series 3. Each team must give an answer to a question and once both have done so, the lower score of the two wins the question and earns that team a point.As in "Clues and Answers," a new board is played on each pass, and an incorrect guess leaves that item available to opponents. Can I name the least popular answers to try to score the least number of points to general knowledge questions? In each episode, four teams of two contestants attempt to find correct but obscure answers to four rounds of general knowledge questions, with the winning team eligible to compete for the show's cash jackpot.
