0:00:19 > 0:00:21APPLAUSE
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Thank you. Hello. I'm Alexander Armstrong. Welcome to Pointless.
0:00:26 > 0:00:30This is the quiz show where all the questions have been asked to 100 people before the show.
0:00:30 > 0:00:34Our contestants have to come up with the answers those 100 people couldn't think of.
0:00:34 > 0:00:35Let's meet today's players.
0:00:39 > 0:00:40And couple number one.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42Hi. My name's Ian. This is my friend, Rob.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45We are from Hull in East Yorkshire.
0:00:45 > 0:00:46Couple number two.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47Hi. I'm Ben. I live in London.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50This is my good friend, Phil, who lives in Bracknell.
0:00:50 > 0:00:51Couple number three.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Hello. I'm Liz. This is my son, Murray,
0:00:53 > 0:00:55and we're from Dunbar in East Lothian.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57And finally, couple number four.
0:00:57 > 0:00:58Hi. I'm Martin. This is my daughter, Beth.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00We're originally from North Wales.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Beth's now in Cardiff and I'm in Pontefract, West Yorkshire.
0:01:03 > 0:01:04And these are today's contestants.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10Thanks, all of you. We'll find out more about you throughout the show.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13So that just leaves one more person for me to introduce -
0:01:13 > 0:01:17the only man who spends more time thinking about pointless things than the cast of TOWIE -
0:01:17 > 0:01:19it's my Pointless friend. It's Richard. Hiya!
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Hi, everybody.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Good afternoon. And to you.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29Are you looking forward to today? I am. Should be fun.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31It was a great show last time. Great show.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35We had Ned and Sarah. Sarah was a comic book artist and Ned was a professional football gambler.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39They got a question on football in the final round as well and walked off with the jackpot.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41He was impressive. That was impressive.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45So we start the game with a lower jackpot, but a cracking group of couples, I think.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48They all seem lovely, don't they? Don't they?
0:01:48 > 0:01:49Lovely bunch. Yeah, lovely bunch.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53Two of them have been on before, on podiums two and three there.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55The end podiums, we've got newcomers.
0:01:55 > 0:01:56Should be a load of fun!
0:01:56 > 0:01:59It should. Thank you, Richard. All our questions on Pointless
0:01:59 > 0:02:01have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Our contestants need to find the obscure answers those 100 didn't get.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Everyone's trying to find a pointless answer -
0:02:07 > 0:02:09an answer none of our 100 people gave.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Each time that happens, we will add ?250 to the jackpot.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14Ned and Sarah won the jackpot last time,
0:02:14 > 0:02:17so today's jackpot starts back off at ?1,000.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29In this first round, I'll want an answer from each of you, and there's to be no conferring.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33At the end of the round, whichever pair has the highest score will be heading home.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35OK, our first category today is...
0:02:38 > 0:02:42World geography. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going second.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49OK. And the question concerns...
0:02:52 > 0:02:53Island groups. Richard.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56In a moment, Xander's going to show you the name of four island groups.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00We need you to tell us any of the names of the main islands in those groups.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03You'll see four groups. We need any of the main islands. Good luck.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05OK, thanks.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08As Richard just said, we'll put these four island groups up on the board.
0:03:08 > 0:03:12They'll remain up there for the whole round, so up the line and back down.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15They won't change halfway through. Here are those island groups.
0:03:28 > 0:03:29I'll read those again.
0:03:34 > 0:03:39Ian and Rob, you all drew lots before the show and today you are going first.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Ian, welcome to Pointless. What do you do, Ian?
0:03:42 > 0:03:44I'm a command centre supervisor with Humberside Police.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48Command centre supervisor - do you take in the calls and send people out?
0:03:48 > 0:03:51I'm part of the management team that looks after the command centre,
0:03:51 > 0:03:54where the staff take 999 calls, non-emergency calls,
0:03:54 > 0:03:56and then send police officers to jobs.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58How do you and Rob know each other?
0:03:58 > 0:04:01I used to ring the radio station where Rob works,
0:04:01 > 0:04:03enter various competitions, and we got talking.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Then Rob came to the command centre on a visit.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08I look after the visits for the command centre.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10And we just took it from there, really.
0:04:10 > 0:04:15Good stuff. OK. Now then, have you visited any of these island groups?
0:04:15 > 0:04:17I've been to the Canaries.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22But none of the others. I'd like to go to the Hawaiian ones, obviously.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24But I will say...
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Guernsey. Guernsey, says Ian.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31Guernsey. Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 said it.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34It's right.
0:04:36 > 0:04:3759.
0:04:41 > 0:04:4259 for Guernsey.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44It's a big score for Guernsey. Isn't it?
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Yeah. Two things I know about Guernsey -
0:04:46 > 0:04:49their phone boxes and pillar boxes are painted blue instead of red.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Identical otherwise.
0:04:51 > 0:04:56Yeah, I know. What kind of blue - a navy blue, a royal blue, an electric blue?
0:04:56 > 0:04:59It's what they call telephone box blue.
0:04:59 > 0:05:00LAUGHTER
0:05:02 > 0:05:06The other thing I know about Guernsey is the Krankies lived there, briefly.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08As tax exiles?
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Yeah, I think when they made their billions in the early '80s,
0:05:11 > 0:05:13I think for five or six years, they laid low.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15You'd want to, certainly.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Phil, welcome back. Thank you.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20Now, remind us what you do, Phil.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23I am a purchaser for an X-ray security firm.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25This is exciting! The X-ray security company.
0:05:25 > 0:05:30Do you do security...you know, those doorways as well for other events?
0:05:30 > 0:05:33The metal detector things? Yeah.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Ah, good. It's all quite interesting.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39Until you get sat in front of an Excel spreadsheet,
0:05:39 > 0:05:42which is basically most of the day.
0:05:42 > 0:05:43Now, Phil, what are you going to go for?
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Any island from any of these groups.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48I know a few.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52I've been to this particular place in the Canaries and it's Fuerteventura.
0:05:52 > 0:05:53Fuerteventura, says Phil.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:05:59 > 0:06:00It's right.
0:06:00 > 0:06:0359 our low score at the moment. You've passed that.
0:06:04 > 0:06:0620.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10Good work, Phil. 20 for Fuerteventura.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Well played, Phil. The second largest of the Canary Islands.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17The closest to the African mainland of the main islands.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Now, Murray. Hi there.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22Welcome back to Pointless.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Murray, remind us what you do up in Dunbar.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27I'm working at a supermarket just now.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30And what's your job in the supermarket? I'm just a general assistant.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32You're not in any particular department?
0:06:32 > 0:06:36No. I work in the in-store bakery, but I spread myself across the store. That's a good place!
0:06:36 > 0:06:38The in-store bakery. It's very good.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40I imagine you get very hungry! Yes.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43It all smells very good. Yum, yum!
0:06:43 > 0:06:45I'm actually now quite hungry.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48Yeah. Even saying "in-store bakery" was enough.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50We should have an in-show bakery.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53I tried to get a little petit four oven through there.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57Just back here, just powered by the tower.
0:06:57 > 0:06:58Bit of tower power.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02And I just burnt things. I kept forgetting I was putting things in there.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05Rather than having a laptop, I'd rather have a sandwich toaster.
0:07:05 > 0:07:06LAUGHTER
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Now, Murray, what are you going to go for?
0:07:09 > 0:07:12I'm going to say...
0:07:12 > 0:07:15I'm reasonably certain this is an island.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17I think it's in the Balearics.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19I'm going to say Formentera.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23Formentera, says Murray. Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people said Formentera.
0:07:25 > 0:07:26It's absolutely right.
0:07:29 > 0:07:3120 our low score at the moment.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33You've passed that, down to 7. Very well done.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40That's a great answer and a great score.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43Well played, Murray. Liz and Murray are good - they were unlucky last time.
0:07:43 > 0:07:48Thanks. Now, Beth, welcome to the show. Great to have you here. What do you do?
0:07:48 > 0:07:51I'm a student at Cardiff University. What are you studying?
0:07:51 > 0:07:52English literature.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56Does that mean you're really praying that English literature doesn't come up?
0:07:56 > 0:07:59Yeah, because I'll probably embarrass myself.
0:07:59 > 0:08:00How are you enjoying it?
0:08:00 > 0:08:03The course? I like two out of six of the modules at the moment.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Two out of six ain't bad.
0:08:06 > 0:08:07LAUGHTER
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Now then, Beth, what are you going to go for from this group?
0:08:10 > 0:08:12I'm hoping it's a correct answer.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15I'm going for Menorca, which I think is in the Balearic Islands.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19Menorca, says Beth. Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said it.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22It's right.
0:08:26 > 0:08:2734.
0:08:30 > 0:08:3134 for Menorca.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Good answer. You're right - it's in the Balearics.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36It's where they invented mayonnaise, you know.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Is that what mayonnaise means - from Menorca?
0:08:39 > 0:08:40No. Oh, right.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44OK, we're halfway through the round. Let's look at the scores.
0:08:44 > 0:08:467, Murray, the best score of that pass.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Very well done. Then we travel up to 20,
0:08:48 > 0:08:51where we find Phil and Ben. Up to 34, Beth and Martin,
0:08:51 > 0:08:52and then Ian and Rob,
0:08:52 > 0:08:53little bit exposed
0:08:53 > 0:08:55out in front there with 59.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58We're going to need a low score from you, Rob.
0:08:58 > 0:08:59At the very least. All right.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01We'll come back down the line.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Can the second players please take their places at the podium.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09OK, so we're looking for the name of any island, any of the main islands,
0:09:09 > 0:09:11in any of these island groups.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Now, Martin, welcome to the show. Great to have you here. Thank you.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17What do you do in Pontefract?
0:09:17 > 0:09:18Well, I'm actually based in Manchester.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22I'm a business banking manager for an international high street bank.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Hang on - you're based in Manchester... Yes.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27You're from North Wales... Yes.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Then where does Pontefract come into this?
0:09:29 > 0:09:31It's just that my wife works in Yorkshire.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34The M62, most times, is drive-able
0:09:34 > 0:09:37and most of my time isn't spent in the office - it's on the road.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Right. What are you going to go for? Which of these islands?
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Er, well...
0:09:43 > 0:09:46I will stay home and I'll go Channel Islands.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48And I know - cos I missed a ferry to this place once -
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Sark.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Sark, says Martin. Sark.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56Now, the high scorers on 59 are Rob and Ian.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58If you can score 24 or less, you're through to the next round.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01There's your red line. Let's see if Sark gets you below it.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05It's right.
0:10:08 > 0:10:1036.
0:10:12 > 0:10:1536 for Sark takes your total up to 70.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19Another big scorer. People know their Channel Islands.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21There was a nuclear physicist from France who in 1990
0:10:21 > 0:10:25went to invade Sark, because he thought he was the rightful heir.
0:10:25 > 0:10:26He had a gun and everything.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29As he was loading the gun, the local constable took his gun off him,
0:10:29 > 0:10:33punched him in the nose and that was the end of that invasion. Wow!
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Good job he didn't go nuclear. He could have.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37He had the know-how.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Exactly.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Thanks very much indeed. Now, Liz.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44Liz, welcome back. I've got a question for you. Yes?
0:10:44 > 0:10:47You don't sound very... You're from Dunbar.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49You don't sound as Scottish as Murray does.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53No, I don't. We've lived in Scotland for 19 years.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56I'm originally from Oxfordshire and I haven't picked up the accent.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59What took you up to Dunbar?
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Really, the children were very small and we were living in the southeast
0:11:02 > 0:11:05and we got to the stage in our lives where we just said,
0:11:05 > 0:11:08"Where would we really like to live?"
0:11:08 > 0:11:12My husband's from Edinburgh, so we chose the countryside around Edinburgh to settle. Perfect.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14No, it's heaven up there. It's very nice.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17Now then, Liz, what about these island groups?
0:11:17 > 0:11:21Yes, well, a lot of the ones I would have said have gone.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26I've got a Hawaiian one but I don't know how to say it.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29I think it's Maui.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31And it's M-A-U-I.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Maui, says Liz.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36Well, you're on 7. Great low score from Murray in the first pass.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39The high scorers at the moment are Beth and Martin on 70.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41If you can get 62 or less, you're in the next round.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Let's see if Maui is right and if it is,
0:11:43 > 0:11:46let's see how many people said it. There's your red line.
0:11:48 > 0:11:49It's right.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52And you're in round two. Very well done.
0:11:55 > 0:11:5710.
0:11:59 > 0:12:0110 takes your total up to 17.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Our lowest score of the round.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05They really are good, aren't they? They are.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08"Mow-y" is a perfectly acceptable pronunciation and you spelt it right too.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10Now, Ben. Hi.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Welcome back. Thank you.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15What happened last time? It was world leaders.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18I played it a bit safe with Angela Merkel.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Yes! Angela Merkel was a massive score.
0:12:21 > 0:12:22It was, yes.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25Ben, remind us what you do. I'm a credit analyst for a French bank.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28And you didn't go for the French Prime Minister.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32I didn't know the French Prime Minister! I didn't either. I don't think I'll live it down.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34What are you going to go for this time round?
0:12:34 > 0:12:36You're on 20. You have to score 49 or less to stay in the game.
0:12:36 > 0:12:40I think I'm going to go for Lanzarote.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Lanzarote, says Ben. Here is your red line.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47Get below that and you're through. Let's see how many people said Lanzarote.
0:12:50 > 0:12:51It's right.
0:12:53 > 0:12:54And you're through.
0:12:54 > 0:12:5633.
0:12:58 > 0:12:5933. 53 your total.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04The oldest of the Canary Islands. 180 million years old.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06So it gets to go to bed the latest.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09This is one of those rounds where you think it's quite difficult.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12Actually, we know so many of these without realising.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16One of those rounds where actually all the knowledge is in there. We've heard of all the names.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19There are beaches with black sand on Lanzarote.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21Yes, because it's volcanic in origin.
0:13:21 > 0:13:22Well, there we are.
0:13:22 > 0:13:23That's good.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Thank you, Richard. Now, Rob.
0:13:26 > 0:13:27Hello.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30You've got a bit of a task here, Rob.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33Just slightly. Yeah. Welcome to the show. What do you do?
0:13:33 > 0:13:35I'm a radio presenter on a station in Hull.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38What sort of show is that?
0:13:38 > 0:13:41I do a drivetime show, which is from two until seven.
0:13:41 > 0:13:46OK. And it's one of those shows where you always get a couple of listeners who keep calling in.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49Always the same faces, always the same people. Yes!
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Always making the same point. That's right!
0:13:52 > 0:13:53Ian...
0:13:53 > 0:13:56I didn't like to say. And my mum!
0:13:56 > 0:13:59Your mum rings in as well? It's terrible, yeah.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01Listen, this is what you have to score - 10.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05There must presumably be islands in these groups that might score 10 or less. I know.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07Certainly Murray managed to find one.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10As did Liz. Maui scored 10.
0:14:10 > 0:14:11So that's the kind of level.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13That's the kind of size of island
0:14:13 > 0:14:14we're looking at, Rob.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16OK.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19It's one of those things that just when you need it, it escapes you,
0:14:19 > 0:14:22but I'm going to take a bet on one of our home islands.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Go for the Channel Islands and Alderney.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Alderney, says Rob.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29Let's hope it's low enough to get you through.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31How many people said Alderney? There's your red line.
0:14:33 > 0:14:34It's right.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Oh, bad luck! 26.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45Alderney scores 26. Takes your total up to 85.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49A good answer, but just too many points, I'm afraid.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52No traffic lights or roundabouts on the whole of Alderney.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Speed limit's 35mph. No traffic jams.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Four cars.
0:14:59 > 0:15:00Yeah.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03Let's take a look at the pointless answers here.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07Cabrera is an uninhabited island in the Balearics.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09It's a nature reserve.
0:15:09 > 0:15:10El Hierro is one of the Canary Islands.
0:15:10 > 0:15:14Kahoolawe is a Hawaiian island.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16Easy for me to say.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19And Niihau also would have been a pointless answer.
0:15:19 > 0:15:24Let's take a look at the top three scorers, the ones most of our 100 people said.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26Tenerife would have scored you 53.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Guernsey, 59.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32And right at the top, Jersey would have scored you 66.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35Well done, everyone. It's tough luck to go out with 85.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Well done if you got any of the pointless ones at home.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41So, at the end of our first round,
0:15:41 > 0:15:45I'm afraid the pair that will be heading home with our high score of 85, it's Rob and Ian.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47It's not a very high score,
0:15:47 > 0:15:49but Guernsey was an expensive call there.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51Not my strong point, geography.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53Did you know any of the lower-scoring ones?
0:15:53 > 0:15:57I was going to say Sark, but I wasn't sure if it was in the Channel Islands or further north.
0:15:57 > 0:15:58So...
0:15:58 > 0:16:01Never mind. The good news is we get to see you next time.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04We look forward to that. Rob and Ian, thanks very much for playing.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06APPLAUSE
0:16:06 > 0:16:09But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for round two.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17Three pairs remain, and at the end of this round,
0:16:17 > 0:16:19obviously, we'll be saying goodbye to another pair.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22Well, I think it'll be an exciting second round. Our category is...
0:16:25 > 0:16:29Politics. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36OK. And the question concerns...
0:16:39 > 0:16:42Politicians who were born in Scotland. Richard.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44A real people-pleaser of a round, this.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48On each pass, we're going to show you six descriptions of politicians who were born in Scotland.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50You just need to tell us who they are.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52There will be 12 in all. See how many you can get at home.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Thanks very much indeed.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57Here is our first board of six politicians born in Scotland.
0:16:57 > 0:16:58Who are they?
0:17:21 > 0:17:23I'll read those all one last time.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50There we are. Six MPs born north of the border.
0:17:50 > 0:17:51Now, Ben.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53Yes. How are we feeling about this?
0:17:53 > 0:17:54OK.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56I'm glad I'm going first.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58Um, yeah...so not too bad.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03I'm going to go for the leader of the Labour party
0:18:03 > 0:18:05from 1992 until his sudden death in 1994.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08John Smith.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10John Smith, says Ben.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16It is right, of course.
0:18:20 > 0:18:2130.
0:18:24 > 0:18:2630 for John Smith.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28He grew up on the isle of Islay, John Smith.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Thank you. Now, Liz.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34Liz. Not good at all. Ah!
0:18:34 > 0:18:37Not good at all. And you living in Scotland and all.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40I know the Lib Dem guy, but I can't remember his name.
0:18:40 > 0:18:41Um...
0:18:44 > 0:18:45I can see his face too,
0:18:45 > 0:18:47but it's not going to come to me.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50So I'm going to say Chancellor of the Exchequer was Gordon Brown.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52Gordon Brown, says Liz.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Gordon Brown.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57Chancellor of the Exchequer when the UK crashed out of the ERM in 1992.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Ooh, bad luck, Liz. I'm afraid that's incorrect.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09Scores you the maximum of 100 points.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12I'm sorry. Sorry, Liz, not in 1992.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15Now then, Beth.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17You're the last person to have this board.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21How do you feel about this? I'm not going to be able to talk you through it.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26OK. Is there one there you can answer? Yeah, there's one.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28The obvious one.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31I'm going to go for UK Prime Minister - Tony Blair.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33Tony Blair. Let's see if that's right and if it is,
0:19:33 > 0:19:36let's see how many of our 100 people said Tony Blair.
0:19:39 > 0:19:40It's right.
0:19:42 > 0:19:43Now... Oh, 64.
0:19:45 > 0:19:4764.
0:19:47 > 0:19:51Could have been far more damaging. 64 is not terrible.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55Now, the leader of the Lib Dems that we're all trying to think of...
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Charles Kennedy.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01Charles Kennedy would have scored you 22 points.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04The Chancellor of the Exchequer in 1992 was...
0:20:04 > 0:20:07Norman Lamont. Norman Lamont, yes. Would have scored 3 points.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09Let's go down the bottom first.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12The only Tory MP returned by a Scottish constituency
0:20:12 > 0:20:15is the MP for Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale and Tweeddale,
0:20:15 > 0:20:17and even if you live there, you may not know him.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19He is David Mundell.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Would have scored 1 point.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25And between 1999 and 2007, he held seven Cabinet posts.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27Some people would have got him.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30It'd be very impressive if you did. It's John Reid.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32And he was a pointless answer,
0:20:32 > 0:20:34so very, very well played if you did.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Thanks very much indeed.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Halfway through the round. Let's look at those scores.
0:20:38 > 0:20:4030 the best score of that pass. Ben, well done.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43Then up to 64, where we find Beth and Martin.
0:20:43 > 0:20:44That might be enough to keep you in.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46100 is our high score, Liz.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48Bad luck.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52So, yes, Murray, we need another of your brilliant low-scoring answers in this next pass.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54We have to hope that's enough.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58We'll come back down the line now. Can the second players please take their places at the podium.
0:21:00 > 0:21:04Let's put six more politicians up on the board. Here they are.
0:21:04 > 0:21:05We have got...
0:21:26 > 0:21:28I'll read those all one last time.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53We're looking for the names of these politicians, all born in Scotland.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57Martin, you'll try to find the one you think fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Something tells me you'll be quite good at this, Martin.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02You want to score 35 or less to get through to the head-to-head.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08I'm going to go for, because he's a local MP now in Yorkshire,
0:22:08 > 0:22:11I'm going to go for George Galloway, the Respect MP
0:22:11 > 0:22:13who was the cat for Rula Lenska.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15George Galloway. Let's see if that's right and if it is,
0:22:15 > 0:22:18let's see how many people said George Galloway.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20There's your red line. Get below that, you're through.
0:22:23 > 0:22:24It's right.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Very well done. Ooh, just!
0:22:29 > 0:22:3135.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Takes your total up to 99.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37That was close.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40He was elected Respect MP for Bradford West in 2012.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43OK. Thank you very much indeed. Murray.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47Um, well, being the most Scottish-sounding person here,
0:22:47 > 0:22:50I would hope I'm better at this than I think I'm going to be,
0:22:50 > 0:22:54but I'm going to say the person who replaced David Laws
0:22:54 > 0:22:57as Chief Secretary to the Treasury was Danny Alexander.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59Danny Alexander, says Murray. Danny Alexander.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02There is no red line for you as you are the high scorers,
0:23:02 > 0:23:05but let's see how far down the column Danny Alexander takes you.
0:23:07 > 0:23:08It's absolutely right.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15That's a good score. Look at that - 10. Very well done.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20Very well done, Murray. 110 your total.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23I wonder if that's enough to keep you in the game, though.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25Well done, Murray. Lib Dem MP born in Edinburgh.
0:23:27 > 0:23:28Thank you. Now, Phil.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33Phil, you're on 30. The high scorers are Murray and Liz on 110.
0:23:33 > 0:23:38If you can score 79 or less, you're through to the head-to-head. Talk us through the board.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41I would guess the longest continuously serving Chancellor
0:23:41 > 0:23:43is Gordon Brown.
0:23:43 > 0:23:44Um...
0:23:45 > 0:23:49Lord Chancellor who was criticised for his wallpaper... I have no idea.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53Became the Leader of the Liberal Party in 1956 - Enoch Powell.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55But I'm going to go for the second one.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58Former Foreign Secretary who resigned over the Iraq War.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01And I'm very sorry if this is wrong,
0:24:01 > 0:24:03but I think it's Robin Cook.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06Robin Cook, says Phil. Robin Cook.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Here comes your red line. If you get below that,
0:24:08 > 0:24:11Robin Cook has seen you into the head-to-head.
0:24:11 > 0:24:12Let's see how many people said it.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17Well done. It's right, and you're through. Good answer.
0:24:21 > 0:24:234.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25That really is a very good answer indeed.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28Robin Cook. Well remembered. 34 is your total.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33Good work, Phil. That's very nicely done on that last podium.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Let's fill in the rest of these.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38The longest continuously serving Chancellor...
0:24:38 > 0:24:40That was Gordon Brown.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42Would have scored you 29 points.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44The one at the bottom there...
0:24:44 > 0:24:47Became leader of the Liberal Party. It wasn't Enoch Powell.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49It was Jo Grimond.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51Very well done if you got that at home. 3 points for that.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54And the Lord Chancellor who was criticised for his wallpaper...
0:24:54 > 0:24:56Derry Irvine. Derry Irvine.
0:24:56 > 0:24:57It's a pointless answer as well.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59So very well done if you said that.
0:24:59 > 0:25:03Thanks. So Liz and Murray are our high scorers at the end of that round
0:25:03 > 0:25:05and we say goodbye to them. I'm really sorry.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07I thought we would see much more of you this time.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10Murray, that was a valiant attempt on your part, though.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13Second lowest score of the round with Danny Alexander,
0:25:13 > 0:25:15but I'm afraid it just wasn't enough.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18But thanks for playing. We've loved having you. Liz and Murray.
0:25:18 > 0:25:19APPLAUSE
0:25:22 > 0:25:25But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for the head-to-head.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32Congratulations, Ben and Phil, Beth and Martin.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36You are now one step closer to the final and the chance to play for our jackpot,
0:25:36 > 0:25:37which currently stands at ?1,000.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40To decide who will play for that money, you're now going head-to-head.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43The difference being, you're now allowed to confer.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that money.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48Best of luck. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56Here comes your first question, and it concerns...
0:25:59 > 0:26:00Music duos. Richard.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02We'll show you five pictures of music double acts.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05We need you to name the acts, please. Best of luck.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07OK, let's reveal our five musical duos.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09And here they are. We have got...
0:26:24 > 0:26:26LAUGHTER
0:26:26 > 0:26:28There you go.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31Five musical duos.
0:26:31 > 0:26:35Ben and Phil, you've played best so far, so you get to go first.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51We're going to go for B
0:26:51 > 0:26:53and Hall and Oates.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Hall and Oates.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58Daryl Hall and John Oates, you are saying.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01Now then, Beth and Martin,
0:27:01 > 0:27:03the rest of the board is all yours.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05Chas and Dave, my personal favourites, are A.
0:27:05 > 0:27:09My second favourites are Robson and Jerome, D.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12My third favourites - my three favourite musical duos -
0:27:12 > 0:27:14E is Zig and Zag.
0:27:14 > 0:27:18Unfortunately, C are not one of my favourite duos.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21But they look a bit young, so they could be Beth's era.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23I have no idea who they are.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25So we're going to go for...
0:27:27 > 0:27:28Zig and Zag.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31You say E, Zig and Zag. So we have Hall and Oates
0:27:31 > 0:27:33and we have Zig and Zag.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35Ben and Phil have said Hall and Oates for B.
0:27:35 > 0:27:39Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42It's right.
0:27:47 > 0:27:4812.
0:27:52 > 0:27:5412 for Hall and Oates.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56Beth and Martin have gone for Zig and Zag, E.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58Let's see if that's right
0:27:58 > 0:28:01and if it is, let's see how many people said Zig and Zag.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05It's right.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10It's going to be so close. Oh!
0:28:10 > 0:28:1214 for Zig and Zag.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14APPLAUSE DROWNS OUT SPEECH
0:28:14 > 0:28:17Hall and Oates pips it for you. Well done.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19Ben and Phil, after one question, you are up 1-0.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22That was pretty close. Zig and Zag, the puppet duo from Big Breakfast,
0:28:22 > 0:28:26had a Top 5 hit with Them Girls, Them Girls.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29If we take a look at the picture of Hall and Oates...
0:28:29 > 0:28:30It's so disconcerting.
0:28:30 > 0:28:34I keep thinking it's one of the publicity stills we did for series one of Pointless.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36They were very similar, weren't they?
0:28:36 > 0:28:39He's got his top FIVE buttons undone.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42That is... He's done one up.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44He's done his sixth one up, just above his belt buckle.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46I think the photographer came and said,
0:28:46 > 0:28:48"I'm just going to do that up."
0:28:48 > 0:28:49LAUGHTER
0:28:49 > 0:28:51But that's like... Why even wear a shirt?!
0:28:51 > 0:28:53Yeah.
0:28:53 > 0:28:56Or perhaps you just do them all undone, and maybe the top two buttons of his flies.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58LAUGHTER
0:28:58 > 0:29:01Now, A is Chas and Dave, you're quite right. A big scorer, though.
0:29:01 > 0:29:04That would have scored 60 points.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08Now, C...
0:29:08 > 0:29:10Certainly is more your era.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12That is Chase and Status.
0:29:12 > 0:29:14I've seen them live.
0:29:14 > 0:29:15Three times!
0:29:15 > 0:29:18I just don't know what they look like, clearly.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20Were you facing the wrong way?!
0:29:20 > 0:29:21LAUGHTER
0:29:23 > 0:29:25Well, they look like that and they were a pointless answer.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28Would have been a terrific answer if you'd said it.
0:29:28 > 0:29:31And D is of course Robson and Jerome.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34That would have scored you 46 points.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:29:36 > 0:29:37Here comes your second question.
0:29:37 > 0:29:41Beth and Martin, you get to answer this one first, but you have to win it to stay in the game.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43It concerns...
0:29:45 > 0:29:47Charles Dickens novels. Richard.
0:29:47 > 0:29:49We'll show you the names of five Charles Dickens novels,
0:29:49 > 0:29:53but we'll show you the number of letters in each word of the title.
0:29:53 > 0:29:56Can you work out which titles we're showing you here?
0:29:56 > 0:30:01Let's reveal our five Dickens novels. And here they are in this coded form.
0:30:12 > 0:30:13I'll read those all one last time.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22Beth and Martin, obviously, you go first.
0:30:32 > 0:30:33OK? Yep.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36We're going to go for the final one.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38Bottom one.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41We're going to say A Tale Of Two Cities.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44A Tale Of Two Cities, say Beth and Martin.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47Ben and Phil, the rest of the board is yours.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52Yes. We can't really run you through it, unfortunately.
0:30:52 > 0:30:53We know one.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56We're going to have to go with Oliver Twist for the top one.
0:30:56 > 0:30:57Oliver Twist for the top one.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59We have A Tale Of Two Cities versus Oliver Twist.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01Beth and Martin said A Tale Of Two Cities.
0:31:01 > 0:31:05Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many people said that.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09It's absolutely right.
0:31:12 > 0:31:1329.
0:31:17 > 0:31:19Ben and Phil have gone for Oliver Twist.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said Oliver Twist.
0:31:25 > 0:31:26It's right.
0:31:30 > 0:31:3140 for Oliver Twist.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34Beth and Martin, very well done. Back in the game.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37After two questions, it's 1-1.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39Let's fill in the rest of these.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41Have you got any? I've got the middle one.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44OK, the middle one is...? A Christmas Carol. A Christmas Carol, yes.
0:31:44 > 0:31:47That would have scored 32 points. I've got the second one.
0:31:47 > 0:31:49The Old Curiosity Shop. The Old Curiosity Shop.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52That's a better score - 16.
0:31:52 > 0:31:54The best answer is the fourth one.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58The Mystery Of Edwin Drood! The Mystery Of Edwin Drood.
0:31:58 > 0:32:02His unfinished final novel. 2 points. Very well done if you said that.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05There we are. Here comes your third question. Whoever wins this
0:32:05 > 0:32:08goes through to the final and plays for that jackpot.
0:32:08 > 0:32:09It concerns...
0:32:14 > 0:32:15Mickey Mouse Club members. Richard.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17We'll show you five clues to famous people
0:32:17 > 0:32:21who were once members of the American variety show The Mickey Mouse Club.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24Can you tell us who these famous people are, please?
0:32:24 > 0:32:27Let's reveal our five members of The Mickey Mouse Club.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29And here they are. We have got...
0:32:47 > 0:32:49I'll read those all one last time.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07Five clues to five members of The Mickey Mouse Club.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09Ben and Phil, you go first.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20Yes, we know three of them, we think.
0:33:20 > 0:33:24We're going to go for the middle one - had a hit with Lady Marmalahd,
0:33:24 > 0:33:27or Lady Marmalade, as Christina Aguilera.
0:33:27 > 0:33:30Christina Aguilera. Lady Marmalahd!
0:33:30 > 0:33:32Lady Marmalade!
0:33:32 > 0:33:35Beth and Martin, do you want to talk us through the board?
0:33:35 > 0:33:37I'll leave this to Beth.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39The bottom one is definitely Britney Spears.
0:33:39 > 0:33:42I think the penultimate one is
0:33:42 > 0:33:44Ryan Gosling, but I'm not entirely sure.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46And then...
0:33:46 > 0:33:48the top two...
0:33:49 > 0:33:51..I'm going to go for Justin Timberlake.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54I know he was definitely in The Mickey Mouse Club, but... Which one?
0:33:54 > 0:33:57I thought he was both!
0:33:58 > 0:33:59Right, I'm going to go,
0:33:59 > 0:34:02and fingers crossed, sorry if it's wrong,
0:34:02 > 0:34:04Drive with Ryan Gosling, please.
0:34:04 > 0:34:08Ryan Gosling. So we have Christina Aguilera and we have Ryan Gosling.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10Ben and Phil said Christina Aguilera.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many people said that.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16It's right.
0:34:19 > 0:34:2122.
0:34:24 > 0:34:2622 for Christina Aguilera.
0:34:26 > 0:34:29Now, Beth and Martin have gone for Ryan Gosling.
0:34:29 > 0:34:33Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many people said Ryan Gosling.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37It's absolutely right.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42I have a feeling this may... and it does...
0:34:42 > 0:34:44see you through to the final.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52Congratulations! Martin, I'm tempted to ask you to repeat that manoeuvre.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54We were going to do a thing. We might as well.
0:34:57 > 0:35:02I couldn't get the end bit. That's why the twirl came in. That was poetic. Beautiful.
0:35:02 > 0:35:03Very well done, Beth and Martin.
0:35:03 > 0:35:06After three questions, you're through to the final 2-1. Well done.
0:35:06 > 0:35:10We're so used to seeing fathers embarrassing daughters. Nice to see it the other way round.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12That's what I'm here for!
0:35:12 > 0:35:15Terrific answer. Very well played.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18Now, one of the top two is Justin Timberlake.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21What would you have gone for if you had to choose one?
0:35:22 > 0:35:25He's definitely dated Cameron Diaz, so I'd go for that.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27Absolutely right. That's Justin Timberlake.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29That would have scored you 27 points.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31So would have seen you knocked out.
0:35:31 > 0:35:35The member of N'Sync was his band-mate JC Chasez.
0:35:35 > 0:35:37That would have been a pointless answer.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39Justin Timberlake's debut album was Justified.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42And Britney Spears, you're right, at the bottom.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45That would have scored too many points as well - 33.
0:35:45 > 0:35:47Thanks, Richard. So at the end of our head-to-head,
0:35:47 > 0:35:50I'm afraid it's Ben and Phil we have to say goodbye to.
0:35:50 > 0:35:54You came into this as the favourites, having played exceptionally well throughout.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57You were saying Ryan Gosling while you were chatting.
0:35:57 > 0:35:58But we weren't too sure.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01Like our 100, you weren't sure.
0:36:01 > 0:36:02Absolutely.
0:36:02 > 0:36:06Bad luck. It's been great having you. Thanks for playing. Ben and Phil.
0:36:06 > 0:36:07APPLAUSE
0:36:09 > 0:36:12But for Beth and Martin, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:36:16 > 0:36:17Congratulations, Beth and Martin.
0:36:17 > 0:36:22You've seen off all the competition and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy. Well done.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30You now have the chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at ?1,000.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35You've done very, very well indeed.
0:36:35 > 0:36:38As always, you need to start this round off by choosing a category.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40You have four options. They are...
0:36:48 > 0:36:51Straight away, we're going to go for the British and Irish Lions.
0:36:51 > 0:36:53We are. Welsh cufflinks.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56There we are. OK. That was nice and quick.
0:36:56 > 0:36:57Richard.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00We'll give you three options within this.
0:37:00 > 0:37:02And they are...
0:37:02 > 0:37:06Any head coach of the Lions since 1963.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08That's up to 2012.
0:37:08 > 0:37:14Any captains of Test teams that have beaten the Lions since '63.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16And we are looking for any players
0:37:16 > 0:37:21who have played in two or more tests for the Lions since 1993.
0:37:21 > 0:37:25So, head coaches since '63, captains of test teams that have beaten the Lions since '63
0:37:25 > 0:37:29or players who've played in two or more tests for the Lions since '93.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31I think this might be rather a good category for you.
0:37:31 > 0:37:35OK, as always, you've got up to a minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:35 > 0:37:39To win that jackpot, all you've got to do is find one pointless answer.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41The answers you give can come from any of those categories.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44However you like to spread them.
0:37:44 > 0:37:47It can be all three from one or one from each. Entirely up to you.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49Are you ready? Yes. Yes.
0:37:49 > 0:37:50Let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:37:50 > 0:37:52Your time starts now.
0:37:52 > 0:37:54John Bentley.
0:37:54 > 0:37:58Alan Tait was rugby league - he went to the Lions.
0:37:58 > 0:38:00Scott Quinnell played a lot of games.
0:38:00 > 0:38:05You've got people like Simon Shaw.
0:38:05 > 0:38:07You've got people like Ben Kay.
0:38:07 > 0:38:12You've got people like... Probyn played loads of times.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14Brian Moore played loads. Not Brian Moore.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16Rob Andrew played loads of times.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18Will Carling played loads of times.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20If we stick to... Who are we going to go for?
0:38:20 > 0:38:25Ugo Monye... I know he played in a couple of tests,
0:38:25 > 0:38:28but I'm not sure whether Shane Williams kept him out of the team.
0:38:28 > 0:38:31I think we go for the first ones I said - John Bentley,
0:38:31 > 0:38:35because he came from rugby league. Alan Tait is also connected with rugby league.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38Scott Quinnell... Will Greenwood's probably a good one.
0:38:38 > 0:38:40Or Dewi Morris.
0:38:40 > 0:38:43Matt Dawson... Ten seconds left.
0:38:43 > 0:38:45Dewi Morris? Yeah.
0:38:45 > 0:38:47Let's take a punt on Dewi Morris
0:38:47 > 0:38:51and let's go for Bentley, and we'll go for Alan Tait. Tait definitely played.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53Right, that's your time up.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56Sounds like you've got three pretty good answers there. What are they?
0:38:56 > 0:39:00We'll give all three answers from the bottom category,
0:39:00 > 0:39:02which is the players.
0:39:02 > 0:39:05So we're going to say as our first one, John Bentley.
0:39:05 > 0:39:07John Bentley. Alan Tait. Alan Tait.
0:39:07 > 0:39:11And who was the other one? Dewi Morris. Dewi Morris.
0:39:11 > 0:39:14And Dewi Morris. As a long shot. Not sure he played the two.
0:39:14 > 0:39:17Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:39:17 > 0:39:19Alan Tait. Alan Tait we'll put last.
0:39:19 > 0:39:21Which is your least likely to be pointless?
0:39:21 > 0:39:23Dewi Morris? Let's start with Dewi.
0:39:23 > 0:39:27Dewi at the top. Let's put those up on the board in that order.
0:39:27 > 0:39:31We have got Dewi Morris, John Bentley and Alan Tait.
0:39:31 > 0:39:32Very, very best of luck.
0:39:32 > 0:39:36It sounds like you were very comfortable with that as a category.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38Your first answer was Dewi Morris.
0:39:38 > 0:39:42This is the one you thought was least likely to be pointless. It's still a good answer.
0:39:42 > 0:39:45There's a pretty good chance that will be correct, and if it is, it might be pointless
0:39:45 > 0:39:47and will win you that jackpot of ?1,000.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50I'm afraid it's not the biggest jackpot we've ever given out,
0:39:50 > 0:39:52but what would you do with your share of that, Beth?
0:39:52 > 0:39:55Hopefully, he'll give me the lion's share, but he won't.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58So, ?500 - go on a nice little trip around Europe.
0:39:58 > 0:40:02I like the way you put a bid in there early on!
0:40:02 > 0:40:03Martin?
0:40:05 > 0:40:07Well, the interesting thing is our surname's Lyons.
0:40:07 > 0:40:09We've got a question on the British Lions,
0:40:09 > 0:40:12our surname is Lyons and this one wants the lion's share!
0:40:12 > 0:40:14I would say I think I would spend the money
0:40:14 > 0:40:16on a trip to Sark
0:40:16 > 0:40:20to watch the upcoming test series in Australia of the Lions.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23Can't quite get to Australia with ?1,000,
0:40:23 > 0:40:25but we can get to Sark, and we might take Beth. OK.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27Happy days!
0:40:27 > 0:40:29There we go. Happy days, indeed.
0:40:29 > 0:40:32Very best of luck. Dewi Morris your first answer.
0:40:32 > 0:40:35Let's find out - has Dewi Morris played two or more tests for the Lions?
0:40:38 > 0:40:39It's right.
0:40:39 > 0:40:42You weren't expecting it to be right, and it is.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44If this goes all the way down to zero,
0:40:44 > 0:40:46you will leave here straightaway with ?1,000.
0:40:46 > 0:40:47Still going down.
0:40:47 > 0:40:49Single figures.
0:40:49 > 0:40:50Down it goes...
0:40:50 > 0:40:51You've done it!
0:40:51 > 0:40:53You've done it with your first answer!
0:40:53 > 0:40:55CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:40:55 > 0:40:57Sorry, don't let me get in the way of your...
0:40:59 > 0:41:01There we go!
0:41:03 > 0:41:05Good stuff! Well done.
0:41:05 > 0:41:06Very well done indeed.
0:41:08 > 0:41:11Dewi Morris, of course, a pointless answer.
0:41:11 > 0:41:15Absolutely brilliant. Which means you go away with our jackpot of ?1,000. Well done.
0:41:15 > 0:41:17APPLAUSE
0:41:21 > 0:41:23Just a dream category for rugby fans!
0:41:23 > 0:41:25There's a lot of pointless answers out there.
0:41:25 > 0:41:27John Bentley...
0:41:27 > 0:41:28pointless answer.
0:41:28 > 0:41:30APPLAUSE
0:41:35 > 0:41:37Alan Tait...also a pointless answer.
0:41:37 > 0:41:38Wow!
0:41:38 > 0:41:40CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:41:43 > 0:41:46Isn't that weird? That happened not many days ago.
0:41:46 > 0:41:50It's happened four times in history. It's happened twice in a very short space of time.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52You also mentioned Brian Moore.
0:41:52 > 0:41:55He would have been a pointless answer.
0:41:55 > 0:41:56You also mentioned Simon Shaw.
0:41:56 > 0:41:58He would have been a pointless answer.
0:41:58 > 0:41:59You also mentioned Ugo Monye.
0:41:59 > 0:42:01He was a pointless answer.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03You also mentioned Scott Quinnell.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06He scored 1 point. Come on, guys!
0:42:06 > 0:42:08LAUGHTER What are you thinking?!
0:42:08 > 0:42:11Will Greenwood as well scored 1 point.
0:42:11 > 0:42:13But terrifically done.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16Let's look at the pointless answers in the other categories.
0:42:17 > 0:42:19Head coaches of the Lions since 1963.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22You would have won the money with Carwyn James,
0:42:22 > 0:42:25John Robins, Ronnie Dawson or Syd Millar.
0:42:25 > 0:42:29Also, John Dawes would have won you the money or Noel Murphy.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32Now, captains who've won against the Lions.
