British Television presenter Richard Osman announced that the hit BBC quiz show, Pointless, could be 'could be one of the last' to survive in this world. Osman, who created the quiz program alongside Alexander Armstrong, said that entertainment television "will soon be gone forever," and the program is likely to be one of the "last" around.
The announcement came amid the release of his new book 'The Thursday Murder Club' on 3 September 2020. The newly released literature of Osman plots the story of a peaceful retirement village where four friends Elizabeth, Joyce, Ibrahim, and Ron, meet up once a week to investigate unsolved killings.

The Thursday Murder Club is available at Amazon for $13.99 in Kindle Edition, $22.10 in Hardcover, and $56.99 in Paperback edition.
