Pointless viewers are calling for changes to the format after one contestant’s ‘brilliant’ performance on the BBC quiz show.
During yesterday (Wednesday, October 22) afternoon’s episode, hosted by Alexander Armstrong and Richard Osman, technical support advisor Helen and her retiree dad David were back on the programme.
Richard said at the start of Pointless: “David and Helen back again, we only saw them for one round last time, didn’t we? I hope they’re going to stick around for a bit longer.”
What happened with Helen on Pointless?
The duo, from Gateshead, beat the other contestants to get to the final round, where Helen pulled it out of the bag by getting not one pointless answer, but three.
They chose the category History in Musicals because Helen is a huge fan of musical films and theatre.
The pair had to offer any named – and pointless – character in either Barnum, Hamilton or Stephen Ward.
Helen, after wracking her brains, had as her choices Hercules Mulligan, Maria Reynolds and Samuel Seabury.
