The Bus Timetable Is a Work of Fiction

Two teams misread the week's headlines, a sound effect is confidently identified as a goose, and the Rant Round produces a 60 second masterpiece about the number 44 bus.

About the show

Points Mean Nothing is a weekly British panel comedy show hosted by Callum Fraser, with two teams of two comedians competing for points that Callum awards according to mood, bribery and whether he liked the joke. Each episode has four rounds: Headlines We Misread, where panellists explain news stories they only half saw; What Is This Noise, where a sound effect is identified wrongly; Pointless Expertise, where a panellist gives a confident lecture on a subject chosen by a listener; and the final Rant Round, 60 seconds on something small that has been bothering them, scored by applause. It is recorded in front of a small audience in a Glasgow pub basement, and episodes run around 45 minutes, out every Sunday evening. It is for anyone who grew up on radio panel shows and likes the sound of four clever people being deeply silly about bus timetables and the correct way to make tea. The scores are never read out accurately and nobody has ever won.
