In Episode 16 of Pointless Celebrities season 8, well-known faces go head-to-head in a quiz show like no other. The aim of the game is to score as few points as possible by finding the most obscure answers to a series of general knowledge questions.
Hosted by Alexander Armstrong and his trusty assistant Richard Osman, this special celebrity edition features eight famous faces split into four pairs, each vying for their chance to win big for their chosen charity.
The first pair consists of actress Su Pollard, best known for her role in the sitcom Hi-de-Hi!, and comedian Hal Cruttenden. The second pair is made up of footballer Dion Dublin and actress Vicki Michelle, who played Yvette Carte-Blanche in the classic BBC sitcom 'Allo 'Allo!. Next up is television presenter and journalist Babita Sharma, alongside MP Chuka Umunna. And finally, the last pair features actor Christopher Biggins and poet Pam Ayres.
With rounds covering everything from history and geography to literature and entertainment, the celebrity duos must work together to come up with the lowest-scoring answers.
Each round culminates in the infamous "head-to-head" round, where the two teams with the highest scores go up against each other, answering questions on a chosen topic until one team emerges as the winner.
As always, the show is full of laughs, with Armstrong and Osman providing plenty of comedic banter throughout. But the real focus is on the charities the celebrities are playing for, with the ultimate goal being to earn as much money as possible for their respective causes.
With such a talented and eclectic mix of personalities, Episode 16 promises to be exciting, unpredictable and thoroughly entertaining. Who will come out on top and be crowned the Pointless Celebrities champions? Tune in to find out.
