Richard Osman, co-host on the BBC TV quiz show Pointless, was in the Black Country recording the show at Wolverhampton Grand Theatre.

The 45-year-old kept his Twitter follows updated on his journey to the city, first tweeting: 'About to head up to Wolverhampton.'

Osman finished his Wolverhampton themed tweeting just after 11pm on Sunday, tweeting: 'Just an absolute ball recording 'I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue' this evening. Thank you Wolverhampton, you were so lovely.'

Scott Bird, sales and marketing manager at Wolverhampton Grand Theatre, said: "The Grand Theatre has in recent years become Wolverhampton's alternative comedy venue and it is great to be acknowledged by the BBC as a suitable home for the live recordings ofI'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue."

The multi award-winning radio panel game is currently recording its 66th series with the format of the game simply being four players being given silly things to do by the Chairman, with Colin Sell setting some of them to music.

Comedians Barry Cryer and Jack Dee were also on the comedy panel game, which will be broadcast later in November on BBC Radio 4.
