Alexander Armstrong doesn't give two shits does he .

Whether the contestants win or lose, he's completely indifferent. His voice is amazingly sarcastic, just seems on a continual pisstake.

If ever a bloke was going through the motions, waiting for his pay check this is it.

Fantastic stuff.

Mr Armstrong

I love how every time someone goes out they have been "fantastic contestants".

Richard Osman. He may well be, but he is a Fulham season ticket holder. He has mentioned it a number of times on the show.

I love the programme, the banter between Armstrong and Osman is brilliant, and being quite fond of obscure knowledge I love the quiz element too.

He isn't. Richard Osman supports Fulham.

His (Richard's) brother was the bassist in Suede.

I love Pointless. It and Only Connect are by far the best quiz shows on

Yes he is, he lived just around the corner from me in Haywards Heath.

Wikki seems to think he's a Palace fan.

I quite like the programme.

Over the Christmas period, they did 'Pointless Celebrities'. Most aptly named programme ever...

Pointless is a totally useless typical BBC up their arses quiz show. Compared to The Chase on ITV it is third class at best. The Chase is very slick and compelling viewing. Also a funny presenter as opposed to Armstrong.

Love the programme. There was an Albion season ticket holder on it back in Sept. Nobody here owned up though

I had the chance to be on Pointless but had to turn them down due to work commitments. I would have been a 'fantastic contestant.'

Pointless is one of the most original quiz TV shows we've seen for a while. I do enjoy The Chase (mostly for the presenter) but Pointless tests a wider variety of knowledge and is a more fun format so I watch that at 5.15 instead.
