Ep 3. Episode 3

In Pointless Celebrities season 8 episode 3, contestants team up with celebrities to compete for the coveted Pointless trophy. Hosted by Alexander Armstrong and Richard Osman, the quiz show features obscure general knowledge questions where the aim is to score as few points as possible.

This episode sees eight pairs of celebrities competing against each other in various rounds. In the first round, the pairs must provide the most obscure answer to a question with multiple answers. For example, they may be asked to name a country that borders two other specific countries. The pair that scores the highest must leave the show, while the remaining pairs progress to the next round.

The second round is a category round where the celebrities must pick a category and answer questions related to it. The categories range from musicals to sporting events and everything in between. The aim is to score as few points as possible, and the pair with the highest score is eliminated.

The remaining pairs then face off in the head-to-head round, where they must provide the most obscure answer to a question with a single answer. The pair that scores the lowest moves on to the final round.

In the final round, the remaining pair must answer a series of difficult questions to win the Pointless trophy and a cash prize for their chosen charity. The questions in this round are even more obscure than in previous rounds, and the pair must work together to come up with the most obscure answer possible. If they can get a Pointless answer, they win the game.

Throughout the show, the celebrities provide comedic relief and banter with the hosts and each other. Some of the celebrities featured in this episode include comedians Jo Brand and Ed Byrne, Olympic athlete Denise Lewis, and actor and comedian Lesley Joseph.

Overall, Pointless Celebrities season 8 episode 3 is a fun and challenging quiz show that will test the knowledge of both the celebrities and viewers at home. With its unique scoring system and obscure questions, it's a refreshing break from traditional quiz shows and provides plenty of entertainment for all.
