New Pointless recording sessions announced

Pointless has announced another block of recording sessions, from the end of August till mid-October.


 Several of the sessions will be for Pointless Celebrities shows.

The recordings are at Elstree Studios, just north of London. Attending a session is really good fun - I highly recommend it. You can apply for free tickets here.
