Pointless fans were unable to control their laughter after the first question on this evening’s show (October 20) appeared more topically relevant that usual. The first question on the BBC One quiz show asked contestants to name Prime Ministers who had served for longer than two years.
Viewers couldn't help but see the funny side after news broke today that Prime Minister Liz Truss was resigning from her position. Earlier today, Mrs Truss announced there would be a new leader of the Conservative party by the end of next week.
The relevancy of today's Pointless question was not lost on viewers, who took to the social media site Twitter to express their humour about the very first question. Fans couldn't believe it when Alexander Armstrong, show host, kicked off the episode by asking the four pairs to name 'British Prime Ministers who served for two years or longer'.
