A Twitter user appeared to be worried about the future of Pointless after Richard Osman, 48, and Alexander Armstrong, 49, recently fronted Pointless: The Good, The Bad and The Bloopers to celebrate 10 years of the show. Richard encouraged his 772,000 Twitter fans to tune into the programme, saying: “Special, very silly, Pointless clip show on Saturday, called ‘The Good, The Bad and The Bloopers’. I wanted to call it ‘Ten Years Of Pointless - It Seems Longer’, but they wouldn’t let me. Either way it’s a lot of fun.” One social media user commented: “Oh thank god! Or you & Xander.
We’re about to record another 220 episodes, so don’t panic!
Richard Osman
“My 13 yr old is obsessed with Pointless & has watch all of the episodes so often that I now know what various contestants do for a living. Or what they’d spend the jackpot on (shed, anyone?)
“Please make more episodes. For the sake of my sanity!”(sic)
Richard convinced the Pointless fan there will be more episodes come as he replied: “We’re about to record another 220 episodes, so don’t panic!”
