Television viewers watching yesterday afternoon’s episode of Pointless (17 January) got quite the buzz when they saw the quiz show’s host Alexander Armstrong named as an all important ‘pointless’ answer.
Titled A Year in Songs, it reached number six in the UK Albums Chart as well as topping the UK Classical Chart.
Contestant Linda was asked to name an “artist who featured in the top 40 biggest albums list of 2015,” and provided Armstrong’s name as her answer.
As the counter reached the bottom – scoring Linda a perfect total of zero points, as well as adding £250 onto the total cash prize – Armstrong could barely contain his excitement.
