Foster and Allen set to appear on Pointless

Bunch of Thyme singers Foster and Allen are set to appear on BBC quiz show Pointless.

"We recently appeared on the BBC quiz programme Pointless, you know, the one presented by that fella Alexander Armstrong.

"Apparently, it's the second-most-watched programme on BBC after Strictly Come Dancing," Tony Allen reportedly said.

The Westmeath duo have just returned from a tour of Australia where they played 29 venues and travelled nearly 6,000 miles.

They also starred in a hilarious sketch for Republic of Telly before Christmas.

Tune into Pointless with Alexander Armstrong and Richard Osman on BBC One on Wednesday at 5.15pm.
