Reviews
Praise for the Pointless books by Alexander Armstrong and Richard Osman * : *
We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name the greatest show in the history of television. There was only one pointless answer and it was Pointless. And now in book form. * Stephen Fry *
I love Pointless. It's funny, and it makes me feel less thick. Like all the best dates. * Sarah Millican *
Pointless is a fascinating microcosm of life: as this formidable tome reveals, success therein depends on a combination of intelligence, chance and having a good partner. * Sir Tim Rice *
The must-have present. * The Independent *
A pointless book? Definitely. But in a good way. * Sunday Express *
