While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

I was unable to read the text of the questions( TOO SMALL). and am often unable to see the photo questions. Mainly I get to see the faces of the contestants and hosts. What use is that on a quiz show for viewer participants. IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING.!!!!!!!!.Wont watch again.SHAME cos I like quizzes.!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love Pointless , Alexander and Richard are superb but I do sometimes think that some of the questions are geared more for men than women. For example football, rugby, basketball, snooker to name a few are mostly male sports. Yes I'm sure there are a lot of women who watch these sports but as I said they are watched and played by predominantly males. I for one don't watch any of these sports. I therefore feel it would make things a little more even if some of the questions were more female orientated, you may argue that there are some and yes there are but very rarely and certainly the questions don't come up as often as the above mentioned. It's just my opinion and I still love the show. Jaqui Peyton

Pointless shouldn't work. It's basically Family Fortunes in reverse. And yet it does work and continues to be one of the most popular game shows in the UK.I didn't really care for Alexander Armstrong when he and Ben Miller did sketch shows but he excels in his role as host and his banter with his co-host Richard Osman makes the show.It's easy enough viewing and unlike many similar shows the rules don't take half the length of the show to explain.Yes, like any gameshow the format gets a bit stale after a while and is boosted by Z list celeb editions, but for now people seem to really have embraced this show and finally having obscure knowledge seems to have paid off.

I am a bit of a saddo, as I really like this show when I catch it. Alexander Armstrong is an excellent front man for it and I really like him as a performer and was surprised to see him doing this. He has a special quality which comes across to the viewer (well this viewer anyway). The premise is that people try to find a pointless answer to the question posed thereby scoring as low as possible. Gentle humour is employed throughout and I like the fact that no-one is humiliated or made fools of in any way. I feel that the programme would benefit from a little faster pace but that is a minor quibble. It is almost educational sometimes too as one finds out facts one did not know before. Long may it last. Well I am adding to my review 16 months on and I am still addicted to it. If anything more so. It has really hit it's stride and Richard and Alexander's banter is witty, original and, unusually for a daytime quiz, funny. This one should run and run.
