0:00:20 > 0:00:22APPLAUSE
0:00:22 > 0:00:23Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:26 > 0:00:28the quiz show that puts obscure knowledge to the test.
0:00:28 > 0:00:29Let's meet today's players.
0:00:29 > 0:00:33APPLAUSE
0:00:34 > 0:00:35And couple number one.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Hi, I'm Salma, this is my housemate Nikki and we're from South London.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40Couple number two.
0:00:40 > 0:00:41Hi, I'm Lisa, this is my dad, Bob,
0:00:41 > 0:00:43and were from Ouston in Chester-le-Street.
0:00:43 > 0:00:44Couple number three.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Hi, I'm Paula. This is my boyfriend Dave and we're from Canterbury in Kent.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49And, finally, couple number four.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51Hi, I'm Ryan, I live in London.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53This is my brother Jamie and he lives in Newcastle.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55And these are today's contestants.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58APPLAUSE
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Thanks, all of you. We'll find out more about you throughout the show.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04That just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06The obscurest of the obscureable.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09See, he's so smart I'm having to make up words to describe him.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Hiya. Hi, everyone.
0:01:13 > 0:01:14Hiya.
0:01:16 > 0:01:17Good afternoon. And to you.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19I'm looking forward to this one.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22For so many good reasons. For a number of reasons.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Reason one, Bob and Lisa are back.
0:01:24 > 0:01:25LISA GIGGLES
0:01:25 > 0:01:29Georgie Shore. Didn't see a huge amount of them last time.
0:01:29 > 0:01:30Poor old Bob.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32No, we saw a huge amount of them,
0:01:32 > 0:01:34but they weren't on the show for very long.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Yeah, they were around for Round One,
0:01:36 > 0:01:38but we will remember it for some time. Poor old Bob.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40I mean, Bob is no shrinking violet.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Bob works in a munitions factory, he's a real man
0:01:43 > 0:01:45and when you got that question wrong,
0:01:45 > 0:01:49I have never feared for someone's safety so much, Bob, I have to say.
0:01:49 > 0:01:50LAUGHTER
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Lisa was furious, wasn't she? Yeah.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55She's an ex-wrestler and a cop.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58She can handle herself, as well. Were you OK, Bob?
0:01:58 > 0:02:00She put us in a full nelson.
0:02:00 > 0:02:01LAUGHTER
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Have you forgiven your dad?
0:02:03 > 0:02:06Yeah. I don't know if he's forgiven himself.
0:02:06 > 0:02:07I was pretty angry with meself.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Well, yeah.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Not as angry as Lisa was with you.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13We also had Dave and Paula, didn't we?
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Dave has been going out with Paula for 13 years.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19Refuses, REFUSES to propose.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23And you said, if you do well on the last show, perhaps you'll propose.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25Got everything wrong.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Paula aced everything.
0:02:27 > 0:02:28Dave got everything wrong.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Which we think may have been deliberate.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32And then that wonderful endgame with Toby and Cat
0:02:32 > 0:02:34where they got a one-pointer.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37They got a correct answer, but for the wrong category.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40And, for the first time since we introduced this new endgame,
0:02:40 > 0:02:42the jackpot's going up a little bit, isn't it? Yeah, it is.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Nice sort of jackpot to have. It should be an absolute cracker today.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47It's going to be loads of fun. Thank you, Richard.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50All our questions have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54Our contestants need to find the obscure answers those 100 people didn't get.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Of course, everyone's trying to find a Pointless answer.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58That's an answer that none of our 100 gave.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Each time that happens, we'll add ?250 to the jackpot.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03Toby and Cat didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:03:03 > 0:03:04so we add another ?1,000 to that.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08So, today's jackpot starts off at...
0:03:08 > 0:03:11APPLAUSE
0:03:11 > 0:03:14Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20OK, in this first round, I want an answer from each of you,
0:03:20 > 0:03:22but no conferring. At the end of the round,
0:03:22 > 0:03:25whichever pair has the highest score will be heading home.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28OK, our first category today is...
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Famous People.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35Can you all decide in your pairs who will go first, who will go second?
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43OK, the question concerns...
0:03:48 > 0:03:51Famous former Girl Guides or Girl Scouts.
0:03:51 > 0:03:52Good luck. Richard.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55We're going to show you seven descriptions on each pass
0:03:55 > 0:03:57of famous people who coincidentally used to be
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Girl Guides or Girl Scouts in the UK or the US.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Just need to tell us who they are, please.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04There'll be 14 in all to have a go with at home, so good luck.
0:04:04 > 0:04:05Thanks very much indeed.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08We're looking for these famous former Girl Guides or Girl Scouts.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10Here's our first board of seven. We have got...
0:04:38 > 0:04:40I'll read all of those again.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Now, Salma and Nikki, you all drew lots before the show
0:05:09 > 0:05:11and today, you are going to go first, Salma.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Hello. Welcome to Pointless.
0:05:13 > 0:05:14Tough board!
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Yeah. It sounded tough, then it
0:05:16 > 0:05:18sounded a bit easier, now it's tough again.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Yes, I was kind of thrown off by the category
0:05:21 > 0:05:24and then thought, "Oh, OK, there's clues."
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Loads of things in there you know.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Salma, what do you do? I'm a graphic designer.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30What kind of graphic design?
0:05:30 > 0:05:32I do websites, do illustration.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35It depends on the job, really. I do animated videos, as well.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38That's fun! Yeah. It's really cool job.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40I get to do lots of different things. Good stuff.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43And how do you and Nikki know each other? We're housemates.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46But have you known each other for ages and ages or...?
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Yes, actually. We met in 2005
0:05:49 > 0:05:52when we both worked in Santa's grotto...
0:05:53 > 0:05:55..as elves.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Where was that? Which of his many grottoes?
0:05:57 > 0:05:59This was in glamorous Nottingham.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01It was just after we'd finished uni, separately.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05How long... Is it a tough day, the elf's day?
0:06:05 > 0:06:08It is a hard day. I was actually chief elf.
0:06:08 > 0:06:09Oh, really? She was my boss.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13Commandeered Nikki off the street, cos I had to...
0:06:13 > 0:06:16So, is the chief elf just purely in the grotto,
0:06:16 > 0:06:18or do you remain chief elf backstage, as well?
0:06:18 > 0:06:21Oh, it's all over the place, yeah. Wow. There's some serious...
0:06:21 > 0:06:25I had no idea. I don't even know within the elf hierarchy there was that kind of...
0:06:25 > 0:06:26Yeah, there's a lot of different jobs
0:06:26 > 0:06:29in the National Elf Service. All sorts of things.
0:06:29 > 0:06:30LAUGHTER
0:06:31 > 0:06:35I'm so sorry. So sorry you had to come all this way to hear that.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37ALEXANDER LAUGHS
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Anyway, Salma. Salma. Yes.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43You're the first person to have this board. Yeah.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47I know there's some pretty obvious names on there that I should know.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49I think I'm going to go with
0:06:49 > 0:06:50the only one that quite clearly
0:06:50 > 0:06:52popped into my head.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56It's the comedienne and actress, star of the US sitcom I Love Lucy.
0:06:56 > 0:06:57I'm going to go for Lucille Ball.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00You're going to go for Lucille Ball.
0:07:00 > 0:07:01Let's see if that's right and, if it is,
0:07:01 > 0:07:04let's see how many of our 100 people said Lucille Ball.
0:07:05 > 0:07:06It's right.
0:07:10 > 0:07:1239.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14APPLAUSE
0:07:14 > 0:07:1639 for Lucille Ball.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Well played, Salma. Good start to the show.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Yeah, she was in the same drama class as Bette Davis.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23And Bette Davis was also a former Girl Scout.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25I don't know what we draw from that, but... No.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27They both did all right for themselves.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31Certainly did. Certainly did. Now, Bob. Welcome back to the show.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33What happened last time? Talk us through.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36I made a complete idiot of myself on television, basically.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38You didn't, you didn't...
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Let's just step back away from this.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44I think you came up with a perfectly plausible answer.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48Lisa seemed to disagree with it. Quite volubly.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Yeah, you put forward Gateshead as the European Capital of Culture,
0:07:51 > 0:07:53which I, for one, think is...
0:07:53 > 0:07:54LAUGHTER
0:07:54 > 0:07:56People are laughing. People are laughing at that!
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Listen, Lisa, calm down. Calm down!
0:07:58 > 0:07:59They actually lost out to Liverpool.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02They lost out to Liverpool, as we've discovered.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Now, then, Bob, remind us what you do.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08I work in a munitions factory making shells for the British Army. OK.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10So, if Richard and I turned up and maybe wanted
0:08:10 > 0:08:12a couple of shells, you probably wouldn't do them.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15I could get you a couple from the beach.
0:08:15 > 0:08:16LAUGHTER
0:08:16 > 0:08:19OK, I've got you. I've got you. Right, back to the game.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21Now, what do you make of this board, Bob?
0:08:21 > 0:08:22I think this is quite hard.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25The one I was definitely sure on has just gone.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27I'm about that era.
0:08:27 > 0:08:28Well, sort of.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31But there's only one I think I know, which is,
0:08:31 > 0:08:33"She had a 1994 UK hit",
0:08:33 > 0:08:34was Mariah Carey?
0:08:34 > 0:08:35Mariah Carey, says Bob.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Mariah Carey. Let's see if that's right.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Lisa, do you think this is right?
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Yes, I do. Ooh.
0:08:41 > 0:08:42LAUGHTER
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Good. Let's find out. Mariah Carey.
0:08:44 > 0:08:45Is it right? How many people said it?
0:08:48 > 0:08:49It is right.
0:08:51 > 0:08:5251.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54APPLAUSE
0:08:54 > 0:08:5751. Not bad, Bob.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59I can't tell you what a relief that is, Bob. Phew!
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Tell us about it!
0:09:01 > 0:09:03That was a number two hit when it originally came out.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05It's re-released every year now,
0:09:05 > 0:09:07or gets into the top 40 again every year now.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Thanks, Richard. Now, Paula. Hello.
0:09:10 > 0:09:11Paula, welcome back. Thank you.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Round Two last time. Yes.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16You didn't make a mistake.
0:09:16 > 0:09:17No, I didn't. No.
0:09:17 > 0:09:18LAUGHTER
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Oh, hang on, Dave did...
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Turns out John McEnroe's quite famous.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25Yeah, he is quite well known.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Like Dave didn't know that(!)
0:09:27 > 0:09:28PAULA LAUGHS
0:09:28 > 0:09:31Paula, this is a better board, isn't it? No. No.
0:09:31 > 0:09:35No, I was going to say Mariah Carey.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39I think I know Nanny McPhee,
0:09:39 > 0:09:41but there's something telling me that that's wrong.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45So, I'm going to go for the top one
0:09:45 > 0:09:49and say Dame Tanni Grey-Thompson.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51OK, Tanni Grey-Thompson, says Paula.
0:09:51 > 0:09:52Let's see if that's right and,
0:09:52 > 0:09:54if it is, let's see how many people said that.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Absolutely right, Paula. Very well done.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01Well, 51, our high. You've passed that.
0:10:01 > 0:10:0239, our low. You've passed that.
0:10:02 > 0:10:0430. Good answer.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06APPLAUSE
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Very well played. Yes, actually christened Carys
0:10:10 > 0:10:12and Tanni comes from a pet name.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Her sister used to call her Tanni because she was tiny
0:10:15 > 0:10:18when she was a baby. And so she calls herself Tanni.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20That's nice. That is nice, isn't it? It is nice.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23You get that and then she got Dame in front of it as well. That's rather lovely.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Very good. Now, Jamie. Hi.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28You're the last person to have this board.
0:10:28 > 0:10:29Do you fancy taking us through it?
0:10:29 > 0:10:31I really wish I could.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33I can feel my brother, I think he would know some of them.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Unfortunately, I don't.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37So it's going to have to be a guess.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Well, what do you do, Jamie, first?
0:10:39 > 0:10:41I'm a student at Newcastle University.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44And what are you studying? Medicine, in my final year.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48Oh, right. So really nearly take up a stethoscope in anger.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50That's right. Where will you be doing that?
0:10:50 > 0:10:53Staying in Newcastle for the first two years. Right, OK.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56What you do in your spare time, Jamie?
0:10:56 > 0:10:59I really like to hike and recently did Kilimanjaro.
0:10:59 > 0:11:00Wow. How long did that take you?
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Six days. Quite a long time.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06Is that a long time? It felt like it. Yeah.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10OK, now. What are you going to go for?
0:11:10 > 0:11:13I'm going to just take an absolute guess
0:11:13 > 0:11:16at the barrister who received a CBE.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18I'm not sure. I'm going to take a guess
0:11:18 > 0:11:20and say Cherie Blair.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22Cherie Blair. Cherie Blair.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many said it.
0:11:25 > 0:11:26Dave is nodding.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30It's absolutely right. Very well done, Jamie.
0:11:30 > 0:11:31Well, 30 is our lowest score so far
0:11:31 > 0:11:33and you've passed that. Look at that.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Down you go to 15. You halve it.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37APPLAUSE
0:11:37 > 0:11:39Good answer, Jamie. Very well done. Cherie Blair.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Yeah, good hunch, Jamie. Very well played.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Cherie Blair and Tanni Grey-Thompson have both spoken
0:11:44 > 0:11:47publicly about how important the Guides were to them,
0:11:47 > 0:11:48which is rather lovely.
0:11:48 > 0:11:49Now, the rest of this board.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52You would think the first Briton in space would be one of the most
0:11:52 > 0:11:54famous people in Britain. Yeah.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57You really would. Do you remember her name? No.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59It was Helen Sharman. That's the name.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02Helen Sharman would have scored you six points.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05Let's go down to the bottom. What would you say, Paula, for Nanny McPhee?
0:12:05 > 0:12:09I think it was Kate Winslet. Oh! Lucky you didn't go for it.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12It's Emma Thompson. Would have scored you 48 points.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14Actually more than the answer you gave.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16A doubly good reason not to do it.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18And the journalist and news anchor who hosted Big Cat Live
0:12:18 > 0:12:20is Kate Silverton. 1 point.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23It's the best answer up there so very well done if you said that.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Thanks very much indeed. We are halfway through the round.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29Let's take a look at those. 15 is the best score.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Sometimes, with a tough board like that, it's quite useful
0:12:31 > 0:12:34being forced into a position where you have to go
0:12:34 > 0:12:36for something you perhaps wouldn't have gone for earlier on.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38Anyway, it's paid dividends. There you are on 15.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Good score. Then up to 30, where we find Paula and Dave.
0:12:41 > 0:12:4339 where we find Salma and Nikki and then up to 51,
0:12:43 > 0:12:46where we find Bob and Lisa. Now, Lisa. Yes.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48You know what you have to do.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51A really low score. We are going to come back down the line.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:12:56 > 0:12:59OK. We're going to put seven more clues on the board
0:12:59 > 0:13:00and here they are:
0:13:27 > 0:13:30I'll read those one last time.
0:13:59 > 0:14:04There we are. Ryan. Hi. Ryan, hello. Welcome to Pointless. Thank you.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07What do you do, Ryan? I'm a teacher, secondary school teacher.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10And what do you teach? English. English. OK.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13And in your spare time, Ryan, which you get quite a bit of!
0:14:13 > 0:14:15RYAN LAUGHS
0:14:15 > 0:14:18Well, you get holidays. You get holidays. Don't you?
0:14:18 > 0:14:20What? If you're a...
0:14:20 > 0:14:23If you're a teacher? Yeah, you get holidays. Nice, long school holidays.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25They work very hard, teachers.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28But they do have nice holidays, which they need, yeah. Fair enough.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30I'm not saying you don't earn them, Ryan.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32But... What do you do in your holidays? Your downtime?
0:14:32 > 0:14:35When I'm not marking and planning,
0:14:35 > 0:14:39I like baking and I'm trying to sort of teach myself Spanish.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43Very good indeed. What are you going to make of this board?
0:14:43 > 0:14:46I think it's a tough board, to be honest with you. I think they both are.
0:14:46 > 0:14:50I think I'm going to go for the female vice presidential
0:14:50 > 0:14:53candidate and say Sarah Palin. Sarah Palin.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57Sarah Palin, says Ryan. You're on 15. The high scorers on 51.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00So if you can score 35 or less, you are through to the next round.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03There's your red line. Let's see if Sarah Palin gets you below it.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05Is it right?
0:15:09 > 0:15:12Bad luck, Ryan. I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer
0:15:12 > 0:15:15and scores you the maximum of 100 points. Takes your total up to 115.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18May well not be the last incorrect answer of this round.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21Sarah Palin was actually the second woman to be a vice presidential
0:15:21 > 0:15:26nomination for the Republicans or Democrats. Not the first, I'm afraid.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30Thanks, Richard. Now, Dave.
0:15:30 > 0:15:34Hello. Welcome back. Dave, remind us what you do.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37I work for a motor insurance company. But in your spare time?
0:15:37 > 0:15:41In my spare time, I do some stand-up comedy. Good stuff.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45Have you written a piece yet about the last Pointless appearance?
0:15:45 > 0:15:48Not yet. I'll see how I get on today. Good stuff.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50What are you going to go for, Dave? OK.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53I'm going to go for the Essex-born sprinter
0:15:53 > 0:15:57who won the gold in the Olympics and I'm going to say Sally Gunnell.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Sally Gunnell, says Dave.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02You're on 30. The high scorers are Ryan and Jamie on 115.
0:16:02 > 0:16:0584 or less sees you through. There's your red line. Sally Gunnell.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08Is that right? How many people said it?
0:16:08 > 0:16:10It is right and you are through.
0:16:14 > 0:16:1621. APPLAUSE
0:16:18 > 0:16:1951, your total. Very well done, Dave.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22Well played, Dave. The brilliant Sally Gunnell.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24At one point she held the Olympic, the world, the Euro
0:16:24 > 0:16:27and the Commonwealth 400m hurdles titles at the same time,
0:16:27 > 0:16:28which is some going.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34Lisa. Yes. Now, Lisa. You have been handed over a lifeline, look.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37115 now, the high score. You are on 51.
0:16:37 > 0:16:43If you can score 63 or less, you are through. I know two.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46I think one of them is going to be pretty obvious.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49The other one, I think I only know the actor because she played a part,
0:16:49 > 0:16:52like, a cameo, in Sex And The City.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54That's good enough.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58I'm going to go for, "She starred as Princess Leia" - Carrie Fisher.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00You're saying Carrie Fisher.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Lisa, before we put that to the column,
0:17:02 > 0:17:06we discussed your wrestling last time. A lot about the wrestling.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08We didn't really focus on the other side,
0:17:08 > 0:17:11which was initially you said, "civil servant", rather coyly.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13About the only coy thing you did last time.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17It transpired you work for the police.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19Are you actually a cop or a backroom...?
0:17:19 > 0:17:23I'm training to be a constable at the minute, special constable. Yeah.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26Wow. Good luck with that. Are you enjoying it? Absolutely love it.
0:17:26 > 0:17:30It's fantastic. OK. You have gone for Carrie Fisher.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32There is your red line.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34If you get below that, you are through to Round Two.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38The very best of luck. Let's see if Carrie Fisher can get Lisa below that line.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Absolutely right.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45And you are through. Very well done. APPLAUSE
0:17:45 > 0:17:4931. Brilliant. 82, your total.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53Yeah, well played, Lisa. That is all I wanted to do.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57Actress Carrie Fisher. Lovely to have Lisa and Bob in Round Two.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01It really is, yeah. If only for the peace!
0:18:01 > 0:18:05THEY LAUGH Thank you. Nikki.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08Finally we come back to you. Nikki, what do you do?
0:18:08 > 0:18:13I work in the art department, mostly on TV commercials. That's fun.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15I know that that's fun. Yeah, it's good.
0:18:15 > 0:18:20You build stuff out of tiny little models and then present them. Yeah.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23I get to make quite a few weird creations
0:18:23 > 0:18:24that I mess up her house with.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27What's your favourite thing that you've made?
0:18:27 > 0:18:30I make a lot of stuff out of cardboard and paper.
0:18:30 > 0:18:34I did an explosion out of Post-it notes. Excellent.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38What do you do in your spare time? I play football. Are you doing well?
0:18:38 > 0:18:41Mid-table. Good stuff. What are you going to go for in this board?
0:18:41 > 0:18:42You are the last person to have it.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45If you fancy, you can take us through it all and fill in the blanks.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48The tennis player is Venus but I think that's too high.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51The third one down, I think, is Pixie Lott
0:18:51 > 0:18:54and the Walk On By song, I think, is Gabrielle,
0:18:54 > 0:18:56which is the one I'm going to go for.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59You are going to say Gabrielle for Walk On By and Heartbreaker.
0:18:59 > 0:19:00Gabrielle, says Nikki.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03Let's see if it's right and how many of our 100 people said it.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05There is your red line.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09Oh, bad luck. Bad luck. I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13Scores you the maximum of 100 points and takes your total up to 139.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17Sorry. You have been really unlucky there for a number of reasons.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20Firstly, Gabrielle did have a cover version hit of Walk On By but
0:19:20 > 0:19:23Walk On By and Heartbreaker both hits for Dionne Warwick.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Would have scored you 45 points.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28Not only that, if you had said Venus Williams,
0:19:28 > 0:19:30it would have scored you 52 points
0:19:30 > 0:19:31and would have seen you safely through.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34And if you would have said Pixie Lott,
0:19:34 > 0:19:35that would have been right as well
0:19:35 > 0:19:39and would've only scored you 19 points. So you're very unlucky.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Literally the only bit of luck you've had
0:19:41 > 0:19:43is that you're not on a team with Lisa!
0:19:43 > 0:19:47THEY LAUGH The only consolation I can give you,
0:19:47 > 0:19:48that you are going to leave in one piece.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52The first female presidential candidate was Walter Mondale's
0:19:52 > 0:19:54running mate in the '80s and she was Geraldine Ferraro.
0:19:54 > 0:19:58Well done if you said that cos it would've scored you two points. Terrific answer.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01And the other answer that's even better than that, actually,
0:20:01 > 0:20:05another US answer, the US TV journalist is Barbara Walters.
0:20:05 > 0:20:081 point. Well done if you said that. Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11At the end of our first round, the pair who'll be heading home
0:20:11 > 0:20:14with their high score of 139, I'm sorry, it's you, Nikki and Salma.
0:20:14 > 0:20:18Really tough. And then you almost filled in the board for us.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21Two brilliant answers that would have seen you through.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24Anyway, listen. You will come back forearmed next time
0:20:24 > 0:20:27and I'm sure we'll go all the way through to the final.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30In the meantime, thanks very much for playing, Nikki and Salma.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Great to have you on. APPLAUSE
0:20:32 > 0:20:35But for the remaining three pairs it's now time for Round Two.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Obviously there will only be room for two pairs in our head-to-head round,
0:20:42 > 0:20:46so at the end of this round, we'll have to say goodbye to another pair. Bob and Lisa.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Look at that. You're in Round Two. That's all I'm bothered about now.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52This is very exciting.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55One more round, Bob, and then you can listen to Lisa
0:20:55 > 0:20:56before you give your answers.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59A first for everything. It'll be her fault if it goes wrong.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01Dave and Paula. Dave, for the first time
0:21:01 > 0:21:03in your Pointless career...
0:21:03 > 0:21:06let me rephrase that. For the first time since you've been in Pointless...
0:21:06 > 0:21:09No, you were right the first time. ..you scored less than Paula.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11The plan's not working.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13THEY LAUGH
0:21:13 > 0:21:15Or maybe Paula's playing hard to get now.
0:21:15 > 0:21:16Maybe that's what it is.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19Jamie and Ryan, very solid, good performance.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21Dave and Paul are the lowest scorers there.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24Seem to be the pair to beat. Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27Our category for Round Two is Rugby Union. Oh, my...
0:21:27 > 0:21:29ALEXANDER LAUGHS
0:21:29 > 0:21:32Can you decide in your pairs who will go first, who will go second?
0:21:32 > 0:21:35Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Let's find out what the question is.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:21:47 > 0:21:49..as they could.
0:21:49 > 0:21:54Countries that have played England at a Rugby Union World Cup Finals tournament, Richard.
0:21:54 > 0:21:55Yes, the name of any national rugby team
0:21:55 > 0:21:58who've played against England in any of those tournaments,
0:21:58 > 0:22:02from the first one in 1987 through to the 2011 tournament.
0:22:02 > 0:22:03Very best of luck.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Thanks very much indeed.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07So, Bob...
0:22:07 > 0:22:08do you follow Rugby Union?
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Not in the least. Goodo(!)
0:22:10 > 0:22:13I know some countries in the world, though.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16Oh, God. I'll have to go for...
0:22:16 > 0:22:18Italy?
0:22:18 > 0:22:20Italy, says Bob.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Let's see if that's right, and if it is,
0:22:22 > 0:22:26let's see how many people said Italy.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28It's right, Bob.
0:22:31 > 0:22:3225. Good answer.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34APPLAUSE
0:22:38 > 0:22:39Phew.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Played three times in the '90s, Bob. England won all of them.
0:22:42 > 0:22:46That's despite Lisa going "Pwhh!" When you said Italy.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Paula.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51What do you make of this round?
0:22:51 > 0:22:52I don't watch rugby.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55As Bob has just demonstrated,
0:22:55 > 0:22:58that needn't get in the way of giving a good answer.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00I'll go for France.
0:23:00 > 0:23:01France?
0:23:01 > 0:23:05Let's see if it's right and if so, how many of our 100 people said France.
0:23:07 > 0:23:08It's right.
0:23:08 > 0:23:1125 our lowest score so far.
0:23:11 > 0:23:1356, you get for France.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15APPLAUSE
0:23:15 > 0:23:18Much better than 100. Played them five times.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22England have won three times, France twice. They won in 2011, France.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Thanks, Richard. Now, Ryan.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26Is this good for you?
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Absolutely not.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32I think it might be really obvious.
0:23:32 > 0:23:33I'll say New Zealand.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36Let's see if New Zealand's right.
0:23:36 > 0:23:37Let's see how many said it.
0:23:42 > 0:23:43APPLAUSE
0:23:43 > 0:23:4665 for New Zealand.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50We played them three times as well. In fact, in the same World Cups,
0:23:50 > 0:23:53we played Italy but we lost all three of those.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57Unsurprisingly. We're halfway through the round. Let's look at the scores.
0:23:57 > 0:23:5925, the best score of that pass, Bob.
0:23:59 > 0:24:03Very well done. Lisa, you seem to have it made, thanks to your dad.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Then up to 56, Paula and Dave,
0:24:05 > 0:24:07then 65, Ryan and Jamie.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09Not too far ahead, Jamie, but we need a low score
0:24:09 > 0:24:12from you to keep you in the game.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15Can the second players take their places at the podium?
0:24:18 > 0:24:22We're looking for any national team that's played England in a World Cup tournament.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25Jamie, you're the high scorers on 65.
0:24:25 > 0:24:26Is this good for you?
0:24:26 > 0:24:28I do play rugby
0:24:28 > 0:24:31and I think with the highest score, I might have to
0:24:31 > 0:24:32take a bit of a gamble.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35Someone I'm not sure about but might be a low score.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37I'm going to say...
0:24:37 > 0:24:38Japan.
0:24:38 > 0:24:39LISA GASPS
0:24:39 > 0:24:41Japan?
0:24:41 > 0:24:43No red line for you as you're the highest scorers.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45You got a gasp from Lisa there.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48Let's find out what that means.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51Japan - is it right? How many people said it?
0:24:53 > 0:24:55It is right, good answer, Jamie.
0:24:55 > 0:24:5825, our lowest score so far,
0:24:58 > 0:25:00you whizz past that. Down it goes to four.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02Brilliant work!
0:25:02 > 0:25:03APPLAUSE
0:25:03 > 0:25:0669, your total, Jamie. Very well done.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12Well played, Jamie. One of the more unusual rugby-playing countries, Japan.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14We played them once, in 1987,
0:25:14 > 0:25:17and beat them 60-7.
0:25:17 > 0:25:18Thanks very much.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Now, Dave... Hello.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22..you're on 56.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25The highest scorers are Jamie and Ryan on 69.
0:25:25 > 0:25:2812 or less keeps you in the game.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30I have two in mind. One's risky,
0:25:30 > 0:25:32but if it's right it'll probably be good enough.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35I think I'll play a bit safer
0:25:35 > 0:25:36and say South Africa.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38South Africa?
0:25:38 > 0:25:40There is your red line.
0:25:40 > 0:25:41It's quite low.
0:25:41 > 0:25:46Let's see if South Africa can get you somewhere near it.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49It's right.
0:25:52 > 0:25:5345.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56APPLAUSE
0:25:56 > 0:25:5945 takes your total up to 101.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01It's all in Lisa's hands. Richard...
0:26:01 > 0:26:02That's a big score, Dave.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05I'll ask you after the end of the round what your risky one was.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08We played them four times and famously beat them in 2003.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Thanks, Richard. Now, Lisa.
0:26:10 > 0:26:11Hello.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13This is the deciding answer.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15The high scorers are Dave and Paula on 101.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18You need to score 75 to stay in the game.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21Yes. 75 gets you through to the head-to-head.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23You can talk us through you thoughts now.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26The tables could turn here and Dad could turn on me,
0:26:26 > 0:26:29but I always said if I got to this stage
0:26:29 > 0:26:32I'd do something obvious and I think this is obvious...
0:26:32 > 0:26:35to someone who's never watched Rugby Union in their lives,
0:26:35 > 0:26:37but I'll say Wales.
0:26:37 > 0:26:38Wales, says Lisa.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40Here is your red line.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42If you can get below that red line,
0:26:42 > 0:26:45you are through to the head-to-head. Wales -
0:26:45 > 0:26:47is it right? How many people said it?
0:26:49 > 0:26:50It is right,
0:26:50 > 0:26:52and you're through. Very well done!
0:26:52 > 0:26:54APPLAUSE
0:26:54 > 0:26:5649 for Wales.
0:26:56 > 0:26:5874, your total. Well done, Lisa.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03That was genuinely tense.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05Yeah, really. England and Wales have played twice,
0:27:05 > 0:27:06won one each.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09There are a few minnows out there.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11There's only one pointless answer.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13It's the team we had the biggest ever score against.
0:27:13 > 0:27:17It was in 2003, we won 111-13
0:27:17 > 0:27:19against Uruguay.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22Georgia we played twice in World Cups, would have scored you one point.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25Romania we played once, that would have scored you three points.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28Japan was a terrific answer, the fourth-best you could have done.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32United States would have scored you six, Tonga eight, Samoa 11,
0:27:32 > 0:27:34Fiji would have scored you 15
0:27:34 > 0:27:36and the top three...Paula gave us the third one,
0:27:36 > 0:27:38which is France on 56.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41Second, it was Australia with 60,
0:27:41 > 0:27:43so top-of-the board, Ryan,
0:27:43 > 0:27:45was New Zealand on 65.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47Dave, you had a risky one. What would that have been?
0:27:47 > 0:27:50I was thinking of Argentina.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52If you had said Argentina, you would be in a tie.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56Yeah, we'd have to go to overtime
0:27:56 > 0:27:58and the first team to score a try would have won.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02Thanks very much indeed. So, at the end of our second round, I'm afraid
0:28:02 > 0:28:04it's Dave and Paula we have to say goodbye to.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07I was convinced you were going to go through to the final
0:28:07 > 0:28:08and we were going to have a pointless...
0:28:08 > 0:28:11We could have married you on the spot, it would have been amazing.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14But, I'm afraid, that's not to be, just that bit's not to be -
0:28:14 > 0:28:16the Pointless final -
0:28:16 > 0:28:18I'm sure the rest of it we'll leave in your capable hands, Dave.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20I feel sure you know what to do.
0:28:20 > 0:28:21It's been lovely having you on the show,
0:28:21 > 0:28:23thank you both for playing, Dave and Paula.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29But, for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for the head-to-head.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37Congratulations, Bob and Lisa, Jamie and Ryan,
0:28:37 > 0:28:39you're now one step closer to the final
0:28:39 > 0:28:42and a chance to play for our jackpot, which currently stands at ?8,000.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48We need to decide which pair's going to play for that money and
0:28:48 > 0:28:50you're now going to go head-to-head.
0:28:50 > 0:28:53The big difference is, of course, you are now allowed to confer.
0:28:53 > 0:28:58The first pair to win two questions will be playing for those ?8,000.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01Now, Lisa, Bob actually was the lowest scorer in that last round.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03I forgive him though. Yeah.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05Yeah, yeah. Very, very impressive indeed.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07And, Jamie and Ryan - Japan?
0:29:08 > 0:29:10What an answer. What an answer.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13Both of you now being able to put your heads together, I think
0:29:13 > 0:29:16this promises to be a very, very exciting third round.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19Best of luck to both pairs, let's play the head-to-head.
0:29:24 > 0:29:27OK, here comes your first question and it concerns...
0:29:30 > 0:29:33Richard. We're going to show you five pictures of butterflies
0:29:33 > 0:29:34that have colours in their name.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37Can you name these butterflies, please? Good luck.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41OK, let's reveal our five colourful butterflies and here they are.
0:29:41 > 0:29:42We have got...
0:30:03 > 0:30:05There we are. Five colourful butterflies.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08Bob and Lisa, you've played best throughout the show so far,
0:30:08 > 0:30:09so you get to go first.
0:30:10 > 0:30:11Erm...
0:30:13 > 0:30:15Basically, we only know one.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18So we've got to go for it, which is Red Admiral.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20You're going to say Red Admiral for E.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23OK, Red Admiral for E, say Bob and Lisa.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26Now, Jamie and Ryan, what are you going to go for?
0:30:26 > 0:30:29We can't talk you through the board. Right, OK.
0:30:29 > 0:30:33I think what we've agreed is we're going to say C - Purple Emperor.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36Purple Emperor.
0:30:36 > 0:30:37Purple Emperor for C.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40So, Red Admiral, Purple Emperor.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42Bob and Lisa are saying Red Admiral for E.
0:30:42 > 0:30:43Let's see if that's right,
0:30:43 > 0:30:45and let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:30:47 > 0:30:48It's right.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52That's a high score, look at that. 76.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58Jamie and Ryan, meanwhile, have gone for Purple Emperor for C.
0:30:58 > 0:30:59Let's see if that's right,
0:30:59 > 0:31:01and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:31:03 > 0:31:05It is right.
0:31:05 > 0:31:08And it wins you the point. Very well done indeed with Purple Emperor.
0:31:08 > 0:31:09Down it goes, still going down.
0:31:12 > 0:31:13Good answer.
0:31:16 > 0:31:20Which means, Jamie and Ryan, after one question, you are up 1-0.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22Well played, Jamie and Ryan. Let's fill in the rest of these.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24It's a tough board. Now, A is...
0:31:28 > 0:31:30Would have scored you 3 points.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32Very shy butterfly, the Green Hairstreak. Very shy? Yeah.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35Spends most of its time on vegetation or sunbathing.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39Now, B is...
0:31:41 > 0:31:43That would have scored you 5 points.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46And D...
0:31:46 > 0:31:48Surprised you didn't get this one, Lisa, it's...
0:31:48 > 0:31:50AUDIENCE LAUGHS
0:31:51 > 0:31:52Would have scored you 6 points.
0:31:52 > 0:31:56You can see how small it is, there it is, the dandelion behind it.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59Tough board though. Well done, guys, for getting two answers there.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02Thanks very much indeed. So, here comes your second question.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04You have to win this one to stay in the game.
0:32:04 > 0:32:05Best of luck, it concerns...
0:32:09 > 0:32:10Arnold Schwarzenegger. Richard.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13I'm going to give you five clues now to facts about Arnold Schwarzenegger.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15Can you give us the most obscure answer?
0:32:15 > 0:32:18OK, let's reveal our five clues and here they are...
0:32:30 > 0:32:31I'll read those one last time.
0:32:41 > 0:32:43Now, Jamie and Ryan, you go first this time.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47We're going to go for the country he was born in,
0:32:47 > 0:32:51which we're not sure but we think it might be Austria. Austria.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53Austria, the country in which he was born.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56Bob and Lisa, the board is all yours.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58Do you fancy talking us through it?
0:32:58 > 0:33:02The decade in which he was born - I would hazard the '50s.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05US state was, er...California.
0:33:05 > 0:33:09The woman he married, I'm not sure but it might be Marie Helvin.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12I don't know the director of the 1984 film The Terminator.
0:33:12 > 0:33:16OK, we'll go for the decade in which he was born and say the '50s.
0:33:16 > 0:33:18The '50s, say Bob and Lisa.
0:33:18 > 0:33:20So, Jamie and Ryan have said
0:33:20 > 0:33:22Austria was the country in which he was born,
0:33:22 > 0:33:24and Bob and Lisa are saying
0:33:24 > 0:33:27the '50s was the decade in which he was born.
0:33:27 > 0:33:30So, Jamie and Ryan, Austria - is it right and how many people said it?
0:33:32 > 0:33:34It is right.
0:33:36 > 0:33:3862.
0:33:41 > 0:33:45Bob and Lisa have said he was born in the 1950s.
0:33:45 > 0:33:46Let's see if that's right,
0:33:46 > 0:33:49and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56Oh, not the '50s, Bob and Lisa.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59Which means, Jamie and Ryan, you are straight through to the final,
0:33:59 > 0:34:012-0 after only two questions.
0:34:01 > 0:34:02Very well played, Jamie and Ryan.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05Tough luck, Bob and Lisa, it's been so lovely having you on.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07He was born on the 30th of July, 1947.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10Arnold Schwarzenegger, looking pretty good in it, isn't he?
0:34:10 > 0:34:14Would have scored you 22 points if you'd got it.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16You were right not to go for California, you knew it would
0:34:16 > 0:34:19score too many and it would. It would have scored you 68.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22The woman he married wasn't Marie Helvin, it was Maria Shriver.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27It would have scored you 9 and the director of The Terminator
0:34:27 > 0:34:28is James Cameron
0:34:28 > 0:34:30and that would have scored you 18 points.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32Very well done if you got all five of those at home.
0:34:32 > 0:34:33Thanks very much indeed.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35So, at the end of our head-to-head round,
0:34:35 > 0:34:38I'm afraid the pair leaving us now, it's Bob and Lisa.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41Oh, it was all set fair for you to be through to the final.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44That would have been fantastic. I'm sorry we have to say goodbye to you.
0:34:44 > 0:34:46It's been lovely having you on the show - both shows -
0:34:46 > 0:34:50but thanks for playing. Bob and Lisa, wonderful contestants.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55But, for Jamie and Ryan, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02Congratulations, Jamie and Ryan, you've seen off all the competition
0:35:02 > 0:35:05and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy, so very well done.
0:35:11 > 0:35:13You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot,
0:35:13 > 0:35:15which at the end of today's show stands at...
0:35:17 > 0:35:19AUDIENCE: Woo!
0:35:21 > 0:35:24Obviously I'm delighted you've made it to the final, well done,
0:35:24 > 0:35:25but I'm a bit disappointed as well
0:35:25 > 0:35:28because I was hoping you'd be back next show.
0:35:28 > 0:35:29This means it's only one appearance
0:35:29 > 0:35:32and it also means... I had all sorts of things to chat to you about.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34Ryan, I know that you're a mystery...
0:35:34 > 0:35:36I shouldn't say this on television.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39Until today, you were a mystery diner.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41Now tell me what a mystery diner is.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44Well, the idea is you just go and have a meal at a restaurant,
0:35:44 > 0:35:46you get it free and then you write a review of it.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49So the restaurant get the review and, er, we get dinner!
0:35:49 > 0:35:53So you have to show your qualifications as an eater of good food?
0:35:53 > 0:35:55I've got plenty of qualifications of eating food.
0:35:55 > 0:35:58Good stuff. Fantastic. Well, I'm sorry I've just blown your cover.
0:35:58 > 0:36:02But anyway, what a brilliant job, I'd love to do that.
0:36:02 > 0:36:03Well, listen,
0:36:03 > 0:36:06as always with this round you have to start by choosing a category.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09You have four options to choose from, and they are...
0:36:15 > 0:36:18Well, we don't really know anything about any of them.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20Jamie just asked me who Alan Bennett is,
0:36:20 > 0:36:23which shows you the level we're working at. LAUGHTER
0:36:23 > 0:36:27I think it has to be Sheffield. OK, Sheffield. Sheffield.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30OK, Sheffield it is, Richard.
0:36:30 > 0:36:32Yeah, as so often with those categories that
0:36:32 > 0:36:35look like they're very broad, there's three very different
0:36:35 > 0:36:38categories you can go for, so take your answers out of any of these.
0:36:38 > 0:36:41We are looking for any man who has made a 147 in the
0:36:41 > 0:36:45World Snooker Championships at the Crucible,
0:36:45 > 0:36:48any Pulp UK top 40 single
0:36:48 > 0:36:53and any cast member of the film The Full Monty.
0:36:53 > 0:36:54It's quite a good spread of things.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57Hopefully at home there's something you can go for.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08Very, very best of luck, guys.
0:37:08 > 0:37:10OK, as always you have up to one minute to come up with
0:37:10 > 0:37:14three answers and to win that jackpot of ?8,000, only one of those
0:37:14 > 0:37:16answers has to be pointless.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19Remember, the answers you give can come from any of these three categories.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21Could be all three from one category or one from each,
0:37:21 > 0:37:23it's entirely up to you.
0:37:23 > 0:37:25Are you ready? Yes.
0:37:25 > 0:37:29OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock. Your time starts now.
0:37:31 > 0:37:35So, snooker players, who do we know? Ronnie O'Sullivan?
0:37:35 > 0:37:37Probably not pointless. Stephen Hendry.
0:37:37 > 0:37:42What about The Full Monty, Robert Carlyle? Yes.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44He was the main star, wasn't he?
0:37:44 > 0:37:47There's the big guy who was also in The Thin Blue Line.
0:37:49 > 0:37:51Are you going to get his name? I'm not.
0:37:51 > 0:37:53I don't know who you mean.
0:37:53 > 0:37:57He was in the Thin Blue Line, he was in CID,
0:37:57 > 0:37:59the big guy who knew all the football trivia.
0:37:59 > 0:38:00No. Not going to get him?
0:38:00 > 0:38:02Do you know anything about Pulp?
0:38:03 > 0:38:04Nothing.
0:38:04 > 0:38:06So we have one for the cast of The Full Monty,
0:38:06 > 0:38:08are we going to get anything else?
0:38:08 > 0:38:09Ronnie O'Sullivan.
0:38:09 > 0:38:12Do you have another snooker player? Do you have anything?
0:38:13 > 0:38:16What's the guy from Belfast called? Oh...
0:38:17 > 0:38:20Dennis...Taylor? 10 seconds.
0:38:20 > 0:38:24Dennis Taylor. Robert Carlyle. Yeah, OK.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32OK, that is your time up, I now need your three answers.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34We don't know anything about snooker,
0:38:34 > 0:38:37but we're going to go for...Dennis Taylor.
0:38:37 > 0:38:39Dennis Taylor.
0:38:39 > 0:38:41Ronnie O'Sullivan. JAMIE SIGHS
0:38:41 > 0:38:46For the Crucible, and Robert Carlyle for The Full Monty.
0:38:46 > 0:38:48Robert Carlyle. Now, of those three, which
0:38:48 > 0:38:50is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:51 > 0:38:55If his name's right, Taylor? Yeah, Dennis Taylor, if he exists.
0:38:55 > 0:38:56OK, Dennis Taylor we'll put last.
0:38:56 > 0:38:57LAUGHTER
0:38:57 > 0:39:00I can't believe they're saying this, Dennis.
0:39:00 > 0:39:03What shall we put first? Your least likely to be pointless?
0:39:03 > 0:39:06Robert Carlyle.
0:39:06 > 0:39:08OK, and Ronnie O'Sullivan we'll pop in the middle there.
0:39:08 > 0:39:12OK, let's put those up on the board in that order, and here they are.
0:39:16 > 0:39:19Well, very best of luck. Your first answer was Robert Carlyle.
0:39:19 > 0:39:22This was the one you thought was least likely to be pointless.
0:39:23 > 0:39:26But if it is pointless, it will win you ?8,000.
0:39:26 > 0:39:29Jamie, what would you do with your share of that?
0:39:29 > 0:39:32If it's pointless, I'd like to go on holiday.
0:39:32 > 0:39:36I've got my finals coming up and the last long-haul day of my life
0:39:36 > 0:39:40before I start work as a doctor, so go somewhere nice, get some sun.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42Ryan, how about you?
0:39:42 > 0:39:46I'd really love to go to South America, practice some Spanish.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48Perfect. Well, three answers up there.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51Maybe one of those will be pointless and will win you that jackpot.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54Your first one, as I say, is Robert Carlyle. Let us find out.
0:39:54 > 0:39:58If it is pointless it will win you ?8,000.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00Is Robert Carlyle in the cast of The Full Monty?
0:40:03 > 0:40:04He most certainly is.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09Down Robert Carlyle goes, through the 50s, into the 40s,
0:40:09 > 0:40:11if he goes all the way down to zero...
0:40:11 > 0:40:12Oh. 35.
0:40:15 > 0:40:1735, I think you'd have been very surprised
0:40:17 > 0:40:20if Robert Carlyle had been a pointless answer there.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23Not too upset about that, but 35, not a bad score.
0:40:23 > 0:40:27Your second answer was Ronnie O'Sullivan.
0:40:27 > 0:40:31For ?8,000, has Ronnie O'Sullivan ever managed
0:40:31 > 0:40:34a 147 break at the Crucible?
0:40:38 > 0:40:40It's right, that's the first thing.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43Your first answer took you down to 35,
0:40:43 > 0:40:45Ronnie O'Sullivan taking you past 35...
0:40:45 > 0:40:4733! Excellent grouping.
0:40:47 > 0:40:49APPLAUSE
0:40:49 > 0:40:51Uncanny, even.
0:40:52 > 0:40:56Not pointless sadly. Only one more chance to win today's jackpot.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58Everything is now riding on the back of Dennis Taylor,
0:40:58 > 0:41:00a name that you thought you'd made up.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02Let's find out.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05Dennis Taylor. If he's pointless, he will win you the jackpot.
0:41:05 > 0:41:07For ?8,000, has Dennis Taylor scored a 147 break at the Crucible?
0:41:10 > 0:41:12Oh, bad luck.
0:41:14 > 0:41:16Bad luck. Two good answers there,
0:41:16 > 0:41:19but unfortunately you didn't manage to find that all-important
0:41:19 > 0:41:21pointless answer, which means you don't win today's
0:41:21 > 0:41:24jackpot of ?8,000, which rolls over onto the next show.
0:41:24 > 0:41:26But we've really enjoyed having you and you do, of course, get to
0:41:26 > 0:41:29take home a Pointless trophy each, so very well done.
0:41:35 > 0:41:38Unlucky, guys, a couple of categories there some
0:41:38 > 0:41:39contestants would have killed for.
0:41:39 > 0:41:41There are snooker fans and Pulp fans
0:41:41 > 0:41:44waiting on tenterhooks to see if they got a pointless answer here.
0:41:44 > 0:41:47The actor you were talking about from Full Monty was Mark Addy,
0:41:47 > 0:41:50and he would have scored you two points, wouldn't have been pointless.
0:41:50 > 0:41:53There's only one pointless answer in
0:41:53 > 0:41:56the Crucible 147s, so you've done very well if you said...
0:41:58 > 0:42:01The other men who've scored 147s are Ali Carter,
0:42:01 > 0:42:05who would have scored you two, Cliff Thorburn 11, Jimmy White 19,
0:42:05 > 0:42:09Stephen Hendry 24, along with Ronnie O'Sullivan, that's all of them.
0:42:09 > 0:42:13Now the Pulp singles, I will read out all of the pointless answers here.
0:42:13 > 0:42:15Very well done if you said...
0:42:22 > 0:42:24You could also have had top-ten hits Something Changed,
0:42:24 > 0:42:27that was a pointless answer, Sunrise and This Is Hardcore,
0:42:27 > 0:42:29from the number one album This Is Hardcore.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33And for The Full Monty cast -
0:42:33 > 0:42:36some people would have got pointless answers here.
0:42:36 > 0:42:40Bruce Jones, who was Les Battersby on Coronation Street. Emily Woof
0:42:40 > 0:42:45plays Robert Carlyle's ex-wife. Paul Barber, who played Horse, perhaps the
0:42:45 > 0:42:49easiest of the pointless answers, he was Denzel in Only Fools And Horses.
0:42:49 > 0:42:51Steve Huison also pointless. Very well done
0:42:51 > 0:42:53if you said any of those at home.
0:42:54 > 0:42:55Thanks very much indeed.
0:42:55 > 0:42:58Unfortunately we have to say goodbye, Jamie and Ryan.
0:42:58 > 0:43:02Thank you both so much for playing, brilliant contestants.
0:43:02 > 0:43:05APPLAUSE
0:43:05 > 0:43:07Sadly Jamie and Ryan didn't win our jackpot today,
0:43:07 > 0:43:09which means it rolls over onto the next show,
0:43:09 > 0:43:12when we will be playing for...
0:43:12 > 0:43:15AUDIENCE: Woo! Join us then to see if someone can win it.
0:43:15 > 0:43:17Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard. Goodbye.
0:43:17 > 0:43:18And it's goodbye from me - goodbye.
