Teatime favourite Pointless entered a weird alternate universe when host Alexander Armstrong found himself on a list of top answers to a question.
He and Richard Osman host the popular game show, which sees pairs of contestants try to find the most obscure answer to each question, with the aim of scoring a pointless answer to win the cash prize.
Comedian, presenter and actor Alexander has been an answer on his own programme a few times in the past and often gets a mention when his comic partner Ben Miller comes up as an answer.
One of favourite ever answer in #Pointless history coming up!

But he was very surprised to be included on a list of pointless responses to the category of artists who featured in the top 40 biggest albums list of 2015.His record A Year Of Songs reached number six in the charts and he looked absolutely thrilled to have been a pointless score.

Viewers were just as pleased as the host to see his name come up as an answer.
Best moment on #Pointless, 'Alexander Armstrong' being a pointless answer and Alexander is as shocked as the contestant ????

That woman getting a pointless answer on #pointless with @XanderArmstrong is one of the best things that has ever happened.
