BBC One has commissioned 204 more episodes of Pointless.

The new deal will stretch over three series - the 11th, 12th and 13th runs - for BBC Daytime, along with 24 episodes of Pointless Celebrities in primetime.



Pam Cavannagh, BBC Commissioning Editor, said: "It is great to see Pointless go from strength to strength, pulling in stellar ratings for BBC One in both its weekday and primetime Saturday night spot."

Pointless - hosted by Alexander Armstrong and Richard Osman - originally launched on BBC Two in 2009 and was shifted to BBC One in 2011.

The quiz has proven a ratings success for BBC One, with the highest-rating episode of series 10 pulling in 5.18m viewers and the highest-ever rated episode of Pointless Celebrities attracting 7.7m on December 14.

A Pointless app is also due to launch on iOS and Android this month and will feature a one-player mode as well as a versus friends mode.
