Did you watch "Pointless" the other day ?? I confess, I would noit have got that one right.

I think the song is "Hey Jude", but not sure of the album--xcould it be "Seargent Pepper"

SEARGENT PEPPER is the correct album, the song was A DAY IN THE LIFE :)

We watched the Celebrities Pointless ( for the contestants chosen charity) on Saturday. Brian Blessed and his daughter were playing for Virginia McKenna's BORN FREE. They didn't win unfortunately. :(
