Alexander Armstrong and Richard Osman will be hosting another 210 episodes after the BBC ordered a massive 165 daytime and 45 primetime celebrity episodes of the hit series. “I imagine it’s probably fairly obvious how much we love making it but to pass the 1,000th episode mark is a great tribute to a show that so many work so hard on. Long may it prosper!” Osman added that he is delighted by the “ridiculous rise and rise of Pointless” and can’t wait to “get back into the studio with TV husband Xander”.
