Pointless, BBC Entertainment, 6.10pm
Hosted by Alexander Armstrong and Richard Osman, Pointless is a game show in which teams of two have to score as few points as possible by finding obscure but correct answers to questions. Before the show, each question has been posed to 100 people who have 100 seconds to give as many correct answers as they can think of. The less commonly known answers are the ones the contestants are looking for as they are worth the least points, whereas incorrect answers are awarded the full 100 points. An eponymous “Pointless” answer is one which none of the 100 people gave. The couple who make it through to the third and final round have the chance to win the jackpot of £1 000, which rolls over each episode if the finalists don’t find a pointless answer.
