The Very Pointless Quiz Book by Alexander Armstrong (4-Jun-2015) Paperback

BBC's Pointless #3

by Alexander Armstrong

For the very first time comes a collection of 100 of the finest questions from the hugely popular ratings-winning BBC One TV show Pointless. Let hosts Alexander Armstrong and Richard Osman guide you through the rounds with their trademark warmth and humour and battle it out against your friends and family for Pointless glory. Perfect for playing along alone or with family and friends, The Very Pointless Quiz Book will test your knowledge and tease your brains.

So how good are you at Pointless? Really? Do you think you've got enough in-depth knowledge of Regional Railways, African Countries With No Coastline and Types of Lettuce to carry off the coveted Pointless trophy?

Well let's see shall we?

Here's your chance to step up to the podium (metaphorically speaking of course, chances are you'll be sitting somewhere very comfortably with either a mug of tea or a roll of Andrex within easy reach) put that knowledge to the test, and see just how far you can go in a genuine four-round Pointless ordeal.

Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless...

Reviews

[Sophie Crane · Rating 5 out of 5]

A good read, and also a very good source of questions and answers for running your own Pointless quizzes. Easy to pass the time away with this book, especially if you have someone with you to have a competition with. Just go through each question page by page. Endless fun, and improves your general knowledge at the same time.

We will be running our version of "Pointless Families" over Christmas using questions from the book!!

One of my Dad's books, passed to me to bookcross. I love a good quiz and I love this TV version. It was great fun working through this book and seeing if I could find that all important Pointless answer. It's also a little more than a quiz book, as there are lots of little asides by both Alexander Armstrong and Richards Osmand, both of who are very funny. Definitely worth dipping in and out of to pass those odd moments of free time.

Good fun for followers of the TV gameshow. Test your knowledge against past questions and the hosts pop up too with witty interviews.

Good quiz questions interspersed with some wry Q&A with Richard Osman.

[Angela · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love the show Pointless and found this book very interesting. I particularly love the jackpot question about Top 40 singles released by the Manic Street Preachers; I fucking aced that question!

[Evangeline · Rating 4 out of 5]

A good selection of questions from the show. My sister and I played it together, but it could also make a good alternative to the board game for a solo player.
