Pointless Celebrities - Sitcom Special

Saturday 27 August, 7.10pm

The celebrity line-up includes Charlie Higson (The Fast Show) and Adil Ray (Citizen Khan), as well as Pauline McLynn (Father Ted) who joins with Hugh Dennis (Outnumbered).

Jean Ferguson (Last of the Summer Wine) teams with Tina Malone (Shameless), and also stepping up to the Pointless Celebrities podium are Richard Gibson (Allo Allo) and Vicki Michelle.

In addition, the studio is treated to a VT with Boycey (Only Fools and Horses) and Marlene (The Green Green Grass).

The celebrities’ obscure knowledge is put to the test as they battle it out to make it through to the final round, winning not only a coveted Pointless trophy but the opportunity to walk away with the jackpot for charity - if they can come up with one final Pointless answer.
