Prince question on Pointless quiz show Hi,
A colleague told me that there was recently a question about Top 40 Prince songs on the Pointless quiz show (BBC1 5-6pm weekdays).
Does anyone have any details of the question, the answers and/or which episode of Pointless this was?
My guess is that Purple Rain would have been the obvious right answer, and that the 'pointless' answer would have been something from the Ninties.
Thanks a lot! | |

I watched this episode and the object of the game is that they had to come up with a prince song that was a top 40 hit in the uk that none of the 100 people asked would get. There were 9 pointless answers. The contestants who are allowed 3 guesses said Purple rain and 1999 which were incorrect.
So for a bit of fun to those who didnt watch it can you name the 9 pointless prince uk top 40 singles that no one got. One of them will amaze you.
Thanks

Apologies - only just realised you were having an in-thread competition. "Everybody want what they don't got..." | |

Well it took us all day to nearly figure it out and we are fans. Those two contestants on the show didn't stand a chance. | |
