Richard Osman has offered devastated Pointless viewers a glimmer of hope that he might one day return to the show, after he announced he was quitting after 13 years.
Just as scores of ITV viewers tune into The Chase at teatime every day, BBC viewers settle down to Pointless at the same time every week day, with the quiz programme proving to be a long running hit for the channel. What makes Pointless work so well is the chemistry between Richard and host Alexander Armstrong.
While Alexander presents the show and speaks to the contestants, Richard has the key role of revealing all the pointless answers, as well as adding some amusing anecdotes every day. So there was upset on social media on Friday afternoon, when he revealed he was leaving Pointless.
