0:00:21 > 0:00:25Thank you. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong. Welcome to Pointless,
0:00:25 > 0:00:32where the lowest scorers are the biggest winners. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35And couple number one...
0:00:35 > 0:00:39Hi, I'm Simon. This is my work colleague Lee. We're from Essex.
0:00:39 > 0:00:45- Couple number two... - Hi, my name's Kate. I'm from Bristol. This is my mum from Swansea.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50Are we going to do it with Swansea? Couple number three...
0:00:50 > 0:00:56Hello, I'm Janet. This is my work colleague Alex. We're from Luton.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59- CHEERS - Oh, Luton! Couple number four...
0:00:59 > 0:01:03Hi, I'm Lizzie. This is my husband Ken and we're from Edinburgh.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05There we are.
0:01:05 > 0:01:10I'm going to big up Swansea. Swansea didn't get enough recognition there.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13These are today's contestants!
0:01:13 > 0:01:17Thanks very much. We'll find out more throughout the show.
0:01:17 > 0:01:23That just leaves one more person for me to introduce. They call him The Postman because he always delivers
0:01:23 > 0:01:30- and he isn't above stealing 10 quid from your birthday card. It's my Pointless friend, Richard.- Hiya!
0:01:32 > 0:01:38- Good afternoon.- Good afternoon to you.- We've got another of those situations we've had so often
0:01:38 > 0:01:42- with four new pairs.- It's like we've restored factory settings.
0:01:42 > 0:01:47That's exactly right. It always unsettles me a little bit until we know everybody.
0:01:47 > 0:01:53Right at the start it unsettles me. Literally anything could happen in the next 45 minutes.
0:01:53 > 0:02:00Not literally anything, but a number of things within the context of Pointless could happen.
0:02:00 > 0:02:05Thanks, Richard. All our questions were put to 100 people.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09Our contestants here need to find the obscure answers they didn't get.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13Everyone wants a pointless answer which no one gave.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17Each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:02:17 > 0:02:22Simon and Becky won it last time, so today's jackpot starts off at £1,000.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33I'll take an answer from each of you and there's no conferring.
0:02:33 > 0:02:38At the end of the round, the pair with the highest score head home.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41OK, our first category today is Pop Music.
0:02:41 > 0:02:48Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first and who's going to go second?
0:02:48 > 0:02:52And whoever's going first please step up to the podium.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55Let's find out what the question is.
0:02:55 > 0:03:01We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many Jackson UK Top 40 singles as they could.
0:03:01 > 0:03:07- Jackson UK Top 40 singles, Richard. - Specifically, any UK Top 40 single by Michael Jackson,
0:03:07 > 0:03:14by The Jacksons or The Jackson Five. So Michael Jackson, The Jacksons or The Jackson Five,
0:03:14 > 0:03:18up to the beginning of 2013. Very, very best of luck.
0:03:18 > 0:03:23Thanks very much indeed. Simon and Lee, you drew lots and you're first.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27- Simon, welcome. From Essex.- Indeed. - What do you do, Simon?
0:03:27 > 0:03:30I'm a business analyst for a digital printing company.
0:03:30 > 0:03:36And when you're not doing business analysis, what do you like to get up to?
0:03:36 > 0:03:41- I like to play darts. Captain of the local team. - What's your best check-out?
0:03:41 > 0:03:47- 150.- Good stuff. OK, now then, The Jacksons. Are you a fan?
0:03:47 > 0:03:50I am aware of their work, for sure.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54I'm going to go for...
0:03:54 > 0:03:59- Man In The Mirror by Michael Jackson. - Man In The Mirror says Simon.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02Is that right? How many said it?
0:04:03 > 0:04:05It is right.
0:04:09 > 0:04:1122.
0:04:12 > 0:04:1622 for Man In The Mirror.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20Yeah, only reached number 21 when it was first released.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Michael didn't write it, though.
0:04:22 > 0:04:27- Who wrote it for him? - Siedah Garrett and Glen Ballard.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31Right. They wrote what he then said about himself.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37- OK, OK. Did you know that, Kate?- No.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Now, Kate, welcome.
0:04:40 > 0:04:46- You are from Bristol.- I am.- What do you do?- I'm a restaurant manager in Bath.- That's fun.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49- How long have you done that for? - About five years now.
0:04:49 > 0:04:54OK, good stuff. What do you like to do in your spare time?
0:04:54 > 0:05:00- Do you get much spare time? - Well, I really enjoy cooking. - A busman's holiday.
0:05:00 > 0:05:05- But there we are.- Yes, exactly. Having people over for dinner.- Good.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Now how about The Jacksons?
0:05:07 > 0:05:13Struggling a little bit. It's not my preferred choice of music.
0:05:13 > 0:05:20- The only one I can think of is ABC. so that's what I'll go for.- ABC. Is it right? How many said it?
0:05:22 > 0:05:24It is right.
0:05:24 > 0:05:2722 our only score at the moment.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30ABC beats that - 19!
0:05:33 > 0:05:37- ABC.- Well played, Kate. The Jackson Five's second hit.
0:05:37 > 0:05:43- Top Ten hit.- Thanks, Richard. Alex, welcome to pointless. What do you do, Alex?
0:05:43 > 0:05:47I work in the rock'n'roll lifestyle of a library assistant in Luton.
0:05:47 > 0:05:53A library assistant in Luton as well. Luton, home of the library.
0:05:53 > 0:05:58- It's been said.- Yeah. So library assistant?
0:05:58 > 0:06:05- What are your duties?- We're the ones who put all the books back neatly, help people with their queries.
0:06:05 > 0:06:11- And generally keep silence. - That's part of our job description. To shush as many people as possible.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15What would you say is the great achievement of your life?
0:06:15 > 0:06:19I was Leicester's longest baby for a whole year.
0:06:19 > 0:06:25- A whole year. - You were Leicester's longest baby? - I was. It's true.- Wow.
0:06:25 > 0:06:30- How tall were you? - I was 61cm.- That is long.
0:06:30 > 0:06:36I think it's long when you're horizontal and once you're up on your feet it becomes tall.
0:06:36 > 0:06:42- So longest baby.- That's how it works.- So you're based in Luton. How far from Leicester is Luton?
0:06:42 > 0:06:47- It's 67 miles.- Do they still keep in touch, Leicester?
0:06:47 > 0:06:53No, we didn't want publicity. I'm bigger than this now, so I need to move on from it.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57Good stuff. Alex, what about The Jacksons?
0:06:57 > 0:07:02I do like pop music. Not my favourite artist,
0:07:02 > 0:07:07but I'm going to go for Scream. That's got Janet Jackson as well, so it's two for one.
0:07:07 > 0:07:14Brilliant. Scream says Alex. Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said it.
0:07:15 > 0:07:20It's absolutely right. 22 our high score, 19 our low.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24Scream whizzes past them. Down it goes to four.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28Very well done indeed, Alex. That's a great answer. Brilliant.
0:07:28 > 0:07:33Well played, Alex. A collaboration between Michael and Janet Jackson.
0:07:33 > 0:07:38I'm doing some DIY. Have you got any books on shelves?
0:07:38 > 0:07:41- LAUGHTER - A few.
0:07:42 > 0:07:47Thanks very much, Richard. Now, Ken, welcome to Pointless.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51- What do you do, Ken?- I'm a principal information analyst for the NHS.
0:07:51 > 0:07:56Right, OK. And when you're not doing that, what do you get up to?
0:07:56 > 0:08:01I do all sorts of things. I write musicals and plays, and do board gaming.
0:08:01 > 0:08:06- What's your favourite musical you've written?- Celebrity is our latest.
0:08:06 > 0:08:12- Do you put them on? - Yeah, we worked with a college in the west of Scotland on that.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16Anyway, Ken, back to The Jacksons very quickly.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20I've had a reasonable length of time to try to remember some.
0:08:20 > 0:08:25One I thought was wonderful, but I can't remember the title!
0:08:25 > 0:08:30So I'm going to go with one that I hope is correct. Black and White.
0:08:30 > 0:08:35Black and White says Ken. Is that right? How many said it?
0:08:37 > 0:08:40- Oh, no, Ken!- Oops!
0:08:40 > 0:08:45Oops, yes. I'm afraid that's incorrect. That scores 100 points.
0:08:45 > 0:08:50- We'll discover in due course why. - We will. I'll give all the correct answers at the end.
0:08:50 > 0:08:55Thanks, Richard. Halfway through. Let's look at those scores. Four, Alex,
0:08:55 > 0:09:01with Scream. Very well done. That puts you and Janet in a very commanding position.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05Up to 19, Kate and Isobel. 22, Simon and Lee.
0:09:05 > 0:09:10Then a massive hike up to 100 where we find Lizzie and Ken.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14Maybe it's not going to be the last incorrect answer of the round.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17A really good low score might keep you in the game. Best of luck.
0:09:17 > 0:09:22Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:09:22 > 0:09:28OK, any UK Top 40 single released by Michael Jackson, The Jackson Five or The Jacksons.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32Now then, Lizzie. How did you and Ken meet?
0:09:32 > 0:09:37We were doing a drama production of Lady Windermere's Fan.
0:09:37 > 0:09:43- He was trying to steal me away from my onstage husband. - And he did!- Yes.- That's fantastic.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46How long ago was that?
0:09:46 > 0:09:52- Oh...six and a half years, I think. - Wow. And have you done subsequent productions together?- Many.
0:09:52 > 0:09:57- He's very good at directing me. - Good stuff.
0:09:57 > 0:10:02- Now The Jacksons, Lizzie. - I think I'm going to have to try to risk it a bit.
0:10:02 > 0:10:08So I'm going to go for, I think, a song called...Earth Song.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12- Earth Song.- Earth Song. - No red line for you,
0:10:12 > 0:10:15but let's see how many said that.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19It's right.
0:10:22 > 0:10:2615! Not a bad answer at all, Lizzie.
0:10:26 > 0:10:31- 15 for Earth Song.- Yes. Sold more than a million copies.
0:10:31 > 0:10:36- That's what he was singing when Jarvis Cocker went onstage at the Brits.- Thanks, Richard.
0:10:36 > 0:10:43- Now Janet...- Hello. - Janet, welcome to Pointless. Good to have you here.
0:10:43 > 0:10:48- Also an assistant librarian. - That's right. - On exactly the same floor as Alex?
0:10:48 > 0:10:54- Yes. Yes, I am.- Very good. What capers do you get up to there?
0:10:54 > 0:11:00Oh, well, all sorts of things. I like playing with sticky back plastic
0:11:00 > 0:11:06and scissors, covering the books. And I'm very fond of the rolling stacks...
0:11:06 > 0:11:10- I love that band!- Yeah. - The Rolling Stacks.- Yeah.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13Now, Janet, The Jacksons.
0:11:13 > 0:11:19- OK. I'm going to go for Ben. - Ben says Janet. The great news is you're already through
0:11:19 > 0:11:23because the high score is 115 and you're on four.
0:11:23 > 0:11:29So even if Ben were wrong, you'd be through. So let's find out how many people said Ben.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33No red line as you are already through.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35It's right.
0:11:38 > 0:11:4027!
0:11:40 > 0:11:4427 for Ben takes your total up to 31. Very well done, Janet.
0:11:44 > 0:11:50Well played. Michael Jackson's first American number one, also nominated for an Oscar.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54- From a film about killer rats. - Killer rats?!- Yeah.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57The song doesn't seem to fit it.
0:11:58 > 0:12:05- OK... Now, Isobel, welcome to Pointless. Good to have you here. Now you are from Swansea.- I am.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Big round of applause.
0:12:07 > 0:12:13There we are, yes. Thank you. That's more like it. A couple of whoops and a cheer as well.
0:12:13 > 0:12:18- What do you do, Isobel? - I do lots of things.
0:12:18 > 0:12:25- I'm a Nordic walking instructor... - Just stop there, shall we? Nordic walking instructor?
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Teaches you how to Nordic walk,
0:12:27 > 0:12:32- which is actually walking with poles.- Yeah.
0:12:32 > 0:12:37You use all your upper body. Training for cross-country skiers.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41I would have thought it was walking with Norwegians, not Poles.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44- LAUGHTER - Don't you think?
0:12:47 > 0:12:49- So...wow. And you teach that?- Yes.
0:12:49 > 0:12:55- Is there a lot to know?- Not really. It's just a matter of co-ordination. - So teaching it is a doddle.- It is.
0:12:55 > 0:13:01- Don't tell anybody that. - Isobel, you're on 19. The high score is 115.
0:13:01 > 0:13:07- You need to score 95 or less. - Lizzie and Ken might have met their lucky day today.
0:13:07 > 0:13:13I know nothing about any of the Jacksons. The only one I can come up with is going to be well-known,
0:13:13 > 0:13:16but I'm going to say Bad.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20Bad, says Isobel. Bad.
0:13:20 > 0:13:25Here comes your red line. Below that will be good! Let's see how many people said Bad.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29It's right and you're through!
0:13:32 > 0:13:3431 is your score.
0:13:34 > 0:13:40- Takes your total up to 50. - Very well played. That's the thing to do - go for an obvious one.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44- Safely through.- Thanks, Richard.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47Now then, Lee. Lee...
0:13:47 > 0:13:51- What do you do, Lee?- I'm a credit manager alongside Simon.
0:13:51 > 0:13:57- You work alongside Simon.- Yeah. - Were you hoping that The Jacksons would come up?
0:13:57 > 0:14:03It's not something I researched, but I love Off The Wall. One of the best albums.
0:14:03 > 0:14:07- But I'll probably play a bit safer than that.- OK.
0:14:07 > 0:14:13- I think I'll go Smooth Criminal. - Smooth Criminal says Lee. You're on 22.
0:14:13 > 0:14:18The high scorers are on 115. 92 or less is your goal.
0:14:18 > 0:14:23Below that red line, you're through. How many said Smooth Criminal?
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Absolutely right.
0:14:31 > 0:14:3312.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Good score. 12 takes you up to 34.
0:14:38 > 0:14:42A number eight hit. A bigger hit for Alien Ant Farm.
0:14:42 > 0:14:49It was in the charts longer. "Annie, are you OK?" refers to a CPR doll they called Annie.
0:14:49 > 0:14:54They used to say, "Annie, are you OK?" That's where that comes from.
0:14:54 > 0:14:59Let's look at the pointless answers. There's some big songs on this.
0:14:59 > 0:15:05Two Michael Jackson hits first - Another Part Of Me and I Just Can't Stop Loving You.
0:15:05 > 0:15:09I'll Be There by The Jackson Five was pointless.
0:15:09 > 0:15:15In The Closet by Michael Jackson. He dances with Naomi Campbell in the video.
0:15:15 > 0:15:19Lovely One, PYT (Pretty Young Thing) was a pointless answer.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23Well done if you said that. Stranger In Moscow.
0:15:23 > 0:15:28And Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' and You Rock My World.
0:15:28 > 0:15:33Let's look at the worst answers that most people said.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36Bad, 31. The third baddest answer.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40- Billie Jean would have scored 43. What's top?- Thriller.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Yeah, 71 points.
0:15:42 > 0:15:48I couldn't accept Black and White. It's Black OR White, I'm afraid.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52- That's unlucky.- Really unlucky. You were mostly right.
0:15:52 > 0:15:58- You were 66% right on that title. - Yeah.- Which is not bad going, but not quite enough.
0:15:58 > 0:16:05- I'd look for 100.- Lizzie and Ken, I'm really sorry. What would Black Or White have scored?
0:16:05 > 0:16:09It would have scored 20 points and would have seen you through.
0:16:09 > 0:16:16Yeah, you'd be in. Anyway, let that be a lesson and next time you can storm to the final.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19Lizzie and Ken, thanks for playing.
0:16:22 > 0:16:27But for the remaining three pairs it's now time for Round Two.
0:16:29 > 0:16:37There's only room for two pairs in our Head to Head round, so another pair leaves after this round.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40Our category for Round Two is... Fashion.
0:16:40 > 0:16:45Can you all decide who is going to go first and who's going second?
0:16:45 > 0:16:50Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:16:50 > 0:16:55OK, and the question concerns... fashion designers.
0:16:55 > 0:17:01- Fashion designers, Richard. - We'll give you six descriptions of fashion designers.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05Just name the designer. 12 in all to have a go at at home.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09Let's reveal our six descriptions. Here's our first board.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12HE READS THE LIST
0:17:33 > 0:17:36I'll read those all one final time.
0:17:56 > 0:18:02There we are. Six clues to six famous fashion designers.
0:18:02 > 0:18:08- Lee, what are you making of this? - As you can see, not a great subject for me!
0:18:08 > 0:18:13Very fashionable, Lee. You're very of the moment.
0:18:13 > 0:18:18- First person who's ever said it! - I don't believe that. Come on.
0:18:18 > 0:18:23I think I know three. I'll play relatively safe.
0:18:23 > 0:18:28I think the Team GB outfits were by Stella McCartney.
0:18:28 > 0:18:34Stella McCartney for the Team GB kit. Is that right? How many people said Stella McCartney?
0:18:36 > 0:18:38It's right.
0:18:40 > 0:18:4240.
0:18:46 > 0:18:52Yes, very well played. She received an OBE as well in March, 2013.
0:18:52 > 0:18:59Now, Isobel. Isobel, which of the remaining five do you think you're going to go for?
0:18:59 > 0:19:05I think I'm going to have a try at the official dressmaker to the Queen.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09Not 100% certain, but the two I know for sure will be higher.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13- So I'll try Hardy Amies. - Hardy Amies says Isobel.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17Let's see if it's right and how many people said it.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20It is right.
0:19:20 > 0:19:2240 is our low score at the moment.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24You fly past that.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27Oh, very well done indeed, Isobel!
0:19:27 > 0:19:29One for Hardy Amies!
0:19:29 > 0:19:32Good fashion knowledge.
0:19:32 > 0:19:37Yeah, he was the dressmaker for the Queen. Former British Intelligence.
0:19:37 > 0:19:44- Then in 1946 he opened up his shop on Savile Row. That's a life well lived.- Isn't it? Blimey!
0:19:44 > 0:19:51Janet, you're the last person to have this board, so you could talk us all the way through it.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55Well, the Spice Girl is Victoria Beckham,
0:19:55 > 0:20:00but I think I might go for the founder of the London Fashion Museum
0:20:00 > 0:20:03as Zandra Rhodes.
0:20:03 > 0:20:09Zandra Rhodes says Janet. Founder of the London Fashion and Textile Museum. Is that right?
0:20:09 > 0:20:11How many people said Zandra Rhodes?
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Very well done indeed.
0:20:19 > 0:20:2116!
0:20:21 > 0:20:26- Good answer, Janet. 16 for Zandra Rhodes.- Very well played, Janet.
0:20:26 > 0:20:30- I got that one wrong. - I was thinking of someone else.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34Let's go through the rest. People at home might be wrong as well.
0:20:34 > 0:20:40- The shoe designer from Sex And The City?- Blahnik.- Manolo Blahnik. Would have scored you seven.
0:20:40 > 0:20:45The Spice Girl was Victoria Beckham. It's a big scorer - 64.
0:20:45 > 0:20:51- And do you know the designer..? - I want to say Amanda Burton, but she's an actress.- So close!
0:20:51 > 0:20:56- She works for Alexander McQueen. - Sarah Burton.- Sarah Burton. - Three points.
0:20:56 > 0:21:00- Hardy Amies is the best answer. - Thanks. We're halfway through.
0:21:00 > 0:21:05One is the best score, Isobel. Very well done for that.
0:21:05 > 0:21:10Then up to 16, Janet and Alex. And 40, Lee and Simon. Not a bad score,
0:21:10 > 0:21:15but, Simon, we need a low score if you're to stay in the game.
0:21:15 > 0:21:20Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:21:20 > 0:21:25OK, we'll put six more clues up and here they come. We have got...
0:21:25 > 0:21:27HE READS THE LIST
0:21:50 > 0:21:53I'll read those one last time.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19There we are. We are looking for the fashion designers described here.
0:22:19 > 0:22:26Alex, you're going to try to find the one the fewest people knew. How do we feel about this?
0:22:26 > 0:22:32Not that confident. I only know two of these and I'm unsure about the pronunciation of one of them.
0:22:32 > 0:22:39So I'll go for it anyway. The one best known for popularising the mini skirt. Mary Quant.
0:22:39 > 0:22:46Mary Quant says Alex. You're on 16. The high scorers are on 40, so 23 or less gets you through.
0:22:46 > 0:22:50How many said Mary Quant? There is your red line.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54It is right. Very well done, Alex.
0:22:56 > 0:22:5750.
0:22:58 > 0:23:0150 takes your total up to 66.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04A big score, but well played on a tougher board.
0:23:04 > 0:23:09She opened Bazaar in 1955, before people opened such boutiques.
0:23:09 > 0:23:16- She also had that very famous bob which was cut by Vidal Sassoon. - Kate...
0:23:16 > 0:23:23- Kate.- Yes.- You're on one.- Yes. - You want to be scoring 64 or less to secure your place.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27That's good because I'm struggling quite a bit with this one.
0:23:27 > 0:23:35I'm not 100% sure of any of them, but I'll say French designer associated with the little black dress
0:23:35 > 0:23:42- is Chanel.- Chanel says Kate. Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said Chanel.
0:23:42 > 0:23:47There's your red line. Below that and you are through.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49It's right.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53And you are through to the next round.
0:23:54 > 0:23:5617.
0:23:58 > 0:24:04- 17 for Chanel takes your total up to 18.- Real name Gabrielle, but far better known as Coco Chanel.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07- 17 points.- Thank you, Richard.
0:24:07 > 0:24:12Now, Simon... Simon, this is the moment you have been waiting patiently for.
0:24:12 > 0:24:17Your chance to shine. Can you talk us through it and fill the blanks?
0:24:17 > 0:24:20I so wish I could!
0:24:20 > 0:24:23I'm really struggling on this one.
0:24:25 > 0:24:32I'm sure the presenter of Eurotrash is Antoine... He's a French guy, I believe.
0:24:32 > 0:24:37I can't... I can't quite get his full name, unfortunately.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40Figure skater, I could guess, but...
0:24:40 > 0:24:42And the hat...
0:24:42 > 0:24:45The trouser suit for women...
0:24:45 > 0:24:49I'll guess the top, Eurotrash.
0:24:49 > 0:24:54Let's go for... Antoine Du Beke.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57LAUGHTER
0:24:57 > 0:25:01- Antoine Du Beke says Simon.- I think I know the mistake I've just made!
0:25:03 > 0:25:07Well, let's find out. Antoine Du Beke says Simon.
0:25:07 > 0:25:12Let's see if that's right and how many said it. There's your red line.
0:25:14 > 0:25:19But I'm afraid you're not going to get there with Antoine Du Beke.
0:25:19 > 0:25:24An incorrect answer. Scores 100 points and takes you up to 140.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27I'm sorry, Simon. A valiant effort.
0:25:27 > 0:25:34There were two presenters of Eurotrash. One was Antoine de Caunes,
0:25:34 > 0:25:39but his co-presenter was Jean-Paul Gaultier. He would have scored 22.
0:25:39 > 0:25:47- Now do you know who created Princess Beatrice's hat?- Philip Treacy? - Yeah, would have scored seven.
0:25:47 > 0:25:52Popularised the trouser suit for women - Yves Saint Laurent.
0:25:52 > 0:25:56Would have scored one. Now this other answer is pointless.
0:25:56 > 0:26:01Not a famous figure skater, but it's Vera Wang.
0:26:01 > 0:26:05- A pointless answer. - Becoming a Pointless favourite.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08- She's been on a few times. - We like the Wang.
0:26:08 > 0:26:15Thank you, Richard. So I'm afraid the pair leaving us with 140 is Simon and Lee. I'm sorry.
0:26:15 > 0:26:21That was going to be a tough round, but thanks for playing. We'll see you again next time.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24- Thank you.- Cheers.
0:26:24 > 0:26:29But for the remaining two pairs it's now time for our Head to Head.
0:26:32 > 0:26:38Congratulations, Kate and Isobel, Janet and Alex. You're one step closer to playing for our jackpot,
0:26:38 > 0:26:41which currently stands at £1,000.
0:26:41 > 0:26:47We need to decide who goes through to the final and to do that you'll now go head to head.
0:26:47 > 0:26:53The difference is you're now allowed to confer. The first pair to win two questions plays for the jackpot.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Let's play the Head to Head.
0:26:59 > 0:27:06OK, here comes your first question and it concerns football World Cup winning teams.
0:27:06 > 0:27:12We'll show you five clues to teams that won the FIFA World Cup. Can you name the most obscure?
0:27:12 > 0:27:16OK, let's reveal our five teams and here they are. We have got...
0:27:16 > 0:27:18HE READS THE LIST
0:27:33 > 0:27:36I'll read those one last time.
0:27:52 > 0:27:56There we are. Kate and Isobel, you've played best so you go first.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58Mm, lucky us(!)
0:28:00 > 0:28:02THEY CONFER
0:28:17 > 0:28:22We're not particularly sure of any of them, so we're going to take a risk
0:28:22 > 0:28:27and go for won the first ever tournament on home soil - Italy.
0:28:27 > 0:28:32OK, Italy won the first ever tournament on home soil. Italy.
0:28:32 > 0:28:36Now Janet and Alex, the board is all yours.
0:28:36 > 0:28:42We think the most successful team in history with five titles is Brazil.
0:28:42 > 0:28:47Brazil the most successful team. OK, we have Italy versus Brazil.
0:28:47 > 0:28:51Kate and Isobel said Italy. Is that right? How many said it?
0:28:51 > 0:28:54Oh! I'm afraid Italy's incorrect.
0:28:54 > 0:28:58Janet and Alex, you merely have to be correct to win this point. Brazil.
0:29:00 > 0:29:04Yes, you are. Let's see how many people said it.
0:29:04 > 0:29:0638.
0:29:07 > 0:29:11Very well done, Janet and Alex. You're up one-nil.
0:29:11 > 0:29:16Italy's not a bad guess. The first World Cup was in 1930 in Uruguay
0:29:16 > 0:29:21and was won by Uruguay. That was 15. They didn't defend it in 1934
0:29:21 > 0:29:29and so it was won by Italy. They won it in '34, four times in total. That would have scored 11.
0:29:29 > 0:29:36This team won their only title in 1966. It was England. That would have scored 61, surprisingly low.
0:29:36 > 0:29:40And crowned champions in '78 and '86 was Argentina.
0:29:40 > 0:29:45That would have scored you 16, so Italy was the best answer.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48Thank you, Richard. Here's your second question.
0:29:48 > 0:29:54Janet and Alex get to answer this first, but Kate and Isobel need it.
0:29:54 > 0:29:58It concerns... RAF aircraft during World War II.
0:29:58 > 0:30:06- RAF aircraft during World War II, Richard.- We'll show you five anagrams of RAF aircraft.
0:30:06 > 0:30:12- Can you unscramble these and pick the right answer?- Thanks. Let's reveal our five anagrams.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14- We have got... - HE READS THE LIST
0:30:21 > 0:30:23I'll read those one last time.
0:30:28 > 0:30:34There we are. Five anagrams of RAF aircraft in World War II. Janet and Alex, you go first.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38THEY CONFER
0:30:46 > 0:30:51We're going to go for the third one down, which is Mosquito.
0:30:51 > 0:30:55Quits Moo, Mosquito, say Janet and Alex. Mosquito.
0:30:55 > 0:30:59- Now, Kate and Isobel, can you take us through the rest?- No!
0:30:59 > 0:31:05- Can you talk us through any? - Yes, we know the fourth one down, but that'll be extremely high.
0:31:05 > 0:31:10- OK, I'll need an answer.- We'll try the bottom one - Barracuda.
0:31:10 > 0:31:15- Barracuda.- Cos it spells Barracuda. - Barracuda you're going to say.
0:31:15 > 0:31:22- Mosquito versus Barracuda. That's a complete guess.- Yes. - Good anagram deciphering.
0:31:22 > 0:31:28Janet and Alex, let's see if Mosquito is right and how many said it.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30It's right.
0:31:32 > 0:31:3358.
0:31:36 > 0:31:43Kate and Isobel have gone for Barracuda, which does work as an anagram of A Radar Cub,
0:31:43 > 0:31:48but is it a WWII aircraft? Let's find out and see how many said it.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51It IS right!
0:31:51 > 0:31:55Very well done and it wins the question.
0:31:55 > 0:31:59Oh, it's a great answer. Six for Barracuda!
0:32:02 > 0:32:06Once again you are even. It's one-all.
0:32:06 > 0:32:10- Well done. Who worked that one out? - Me.- Very good. Very good.
0:32:10 > 0:32:14I think everybody knew Ripe Fist is Spitfire, the biggest scorer.
0:32:14 > 0:32:18- It would have scored you 68 points. The top one?- Hurricane.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21Yes. That would have scored you 21.
0:32:21 > 0:32:28The second one is the best answer. In the same way you got Barracuda, you could work this out
0:32:28 > 0:32:33just with the anagram. It's the Gloster Gladiator.
0:32:33 > 0:32:37The Gladiator, for one point. Very well done if you said that.
0:32:37 > 0:32:44Thank you. Here comes your third question. This is the decider. Win this to play for the jackpot.
0:32:44 > 0:32:48It concerns... models turned actors.
0:32:48 > 0:32:54- Models turned actors, Richard. - We'll show you five images of actors who started out as models.
0:32:54 > 0:32:58We are looking for their full names. Very best of luck.
0:32:58 > 0:33:05Thank you, Richard. Let's reveal our five models turned actors. And we have got...
0:33:18 > 0:33:21There we are. Five models turned actors.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24Kate and Isobel, you go first.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26Go for A?
0:33:26 > 0:33:28THEY CONFER
0:33:33 > 0:33:36We're going to go for D, Mark Wahlberg.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39D, Mark Wahlberg. Mark Wahlberg.
0:33:39 > 0:33:45- Now, Janet and Alex, can you talk us through the rest? - A is Kim Basinger.
0:33:45 > 0:33:49B, I hope, is Tatum Channing. C is Cameron Diaz.
0:33:49 > 0:33:54And I don't know who E is. She's probably the best answer.
0:33:54 > 0:34:00- We're going to go for B and Tatum Channing.- B, Tatum Channing, say Janet and Alex.
0:34:00 > 0:34:07Tatum Channing versus Mark Wahlberg. Kate and Isobel said Mark Wahlberg. Is it right? How many said it?
0:34:08 > 0:34:10It's right.
0:34:14 > 0:34:1631.
0:34:18 > 0:34:2431 for Mark Wahlberg. Now Janet and Alex have said that B is Tatum Channing.
0:34:24 > 0:34:28B, Tatum Channing. Is that right? How many people said that?
0:34:30 > 0:34:31Oh!
0:34:31 > 0:34:33Not Tatum Channing.
0:34:33 > 0:34:39Which means, Kate and Isobel, you are through to the final, 2-1. Very well done.
0:34:45 > 0:34:49I'm so sorry, Janet and Alex. Very tough luck.
0:34:49 > 0:34:53It's not Tatum Channing. It's Channing Tatum.
0:34:53 > 0:34:54Oh...!
0:34:55 > 0:35:02- Yes.- So sorry. Model turned actor. He's very good, actually. Have you seen 21 Jump Street?- No.
0:35:02 > 0:35:08He's got some comic chops. He would have scored 16 points and seen you safely through.
0:35:08 > 0:35:12A is Kim Basinger, you were right. She'd have seen you through as well.
0:35:12 > 0:35:1523 points. You were really unlucky.
0:35:15 > 0:35:19C is Cameron Diaz. She would have scored you 65.
0:35:19 > 0:35:25You're right that E is the best one. She recently starred in Transformers.
0:35:25 > 0:35:31It's Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. Would have scored you eight points.
0:35:31 > 0:35:38Thanks, Richard. So I'm afraid the pair who will be leaving us are Janet and Alex.
0:35:38 > 0:35:43That was really tough. And you knew other answers as well.
0:35:43 > 0:35:47But there's good news for all of us. We see you again next time.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49One show would not be enough.
0:35:49 > 0:35:54We'll look forward to that. Thanks for playing, Janet and Alex. Great contestants.
0:35:56 > 0:36:01But for Kate and Isobel, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:36:02 > 0:36:09Congratulations. You've seen off all the competition and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:15 > 0:36:19You now have a chance to win our jackpot, which stands at £1,000.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22What would you like to see come up?
0:36:22 > 0:36:26- Well, food, drink.- Food. - Maybe books of some kind.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29A bit of Nordic walking, maybe.
0:36:29 > 0:36:36- Very good at Nordic walking questions.- Anything with poles! First you have to pick a category.
0:36:36 > 0:36:39Here are your four options.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43Nordic Wrestling.
0:36:45 > 0:36:48Sorry. I'm so sorry. My mistake.
0:36:48 > 0:36:52- Wrestlers. What will you go for? - It's a no brainer.- Yeah.
0:36:52 > 0:36:56- The only one we've got a hope with is crime novelists.- Crime novelists.
0:36:56 > 0:37:04We're going to give you three options now. We are looking for any novel published up to March, 2013,
0:37:04 > 0:37:06by James Ellroy,
0:37:06 > 0:37:08by Ian Rankin
0:37:08 > 0:37:14or by Martina Cole. Any full-length novel published by any of those three up to March, 2013.
0:37:14 > 0:37:19Very best of luck. I suspect some people at home might do rather well.
0:37:19 > 0:37:24As always, you've got up to a minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:24 > 0:37:28To win that jackpot of £1,000, just one answer must be pointless.
0:37:28 > 0:37:32Remember, the answers you give can be from any of these categories -
0:37:32 > 0:37:39all from one, two from one, it's entirely up to you, so long as they're from at least one category.
0:37:39 > 0:37:43- Are you ready?- Yes.- Yes.- OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:37:43 > 0:37:48- There. Your time starts now.- I don't know any books by any of them!
0:37:48 > 0:37:51Neither do I!
0:37:51 > 0:37:55- Good(!)- Ian Rankin. We've read Ian Rankin. Is he Rebus?
0:37:55 > 0:37:59- Is that Ian Rankin? - I'm going to say yes.- OK.
0:37:59 > 0:38:05Martina Cole I've read, but I can't remember. James Ellroy, I don't know.
0:38:05 > 0:38:09- Ian Rankin, Rebus... - Just come up with...- Rebus Reborn?
0:38:09 > 0:38:11Yep. That's one.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14Rebus Bites The Dust?
0:38:16 > 0:38:20Can you think of any? I don't know.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27I don't know.
0:38:27 > 0:38:30- We're not having a lot of luck here. - So...
0:38:31 > 0:38:39- OK, we'll...- OK, you're happy to stop the clock?- We'll do the classic thing and make up the answer.
0:38:39 > 0:38:43I always enjoy that. There. The clock has now stopped.
0:38:43 > 0:38:49- I need to know what your three answers might be.- We're going to aim for Ian Rankin novels,
0:38:49 > 0:38:53who we think did Rebus, but we're not 100% certain.
0:38:53 > 0:38:58- We've decided he wrote Rebus Reborn. - Rebus Reborn. What a book!
0:38:58 > 0:39:02- Rebus Returns.- Rebus Returns.
0:39:03 > 0:39:08- And...Rebus Rides Again. - LAUGHTER
0:39:08 > 0:39:12And Rebus Rides Again. Of these three, do you want to put one...
0:39:12 > 0:39:16- Which is the most likely to be pointless?- I think...
0:39:16 > 0:39:23- Rebus Reborn.- I would agree. That sounds plausible. We'll put it last. Which is your least likely?
0:39:23 > 0:39:28- Rebus Rides Again.- OK. We're putting them in reverse order there.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31Let's put them up in that order. Here we are.
0:39:34 > 0:39:39Very, very best of luck. Your first answer was Rebus Rides Again.
0:39:39 > 0:39:46This was one you thought was least likely to be pointless, but if it is you will win that jackpot of £1,000.
0:39:46 > 0:39:53- Kate, what would you do with your share?- I've just bought a camper van so I'd buy a nice awning
0:39:53 > 0:39:56or some snazzy accessory.
0:39:56 > 0:39:58Very nice indeed. Isobel?
0:39:58 > 0:40:05I was mentally playing in my mind a banjolele, which I was going to buy with my share of the winnings.
0:40:05 > 0:40:11- That's what George Formby played. - Yeah, he did that.- So you play the ukulele?- I've got the ukulele,
0:40:11 > 0:40:15- but I had a go on a banjolele. - It's a much nicer sound.
0:40:15 > 0:40:20- Very twangy.- OK, your first answer. Rebus Rides Again.
0:40:20 > 0:40:24For £1,000, let's find out. Is that an Ian Rankin novel?
0:40:26 > 0:40:29- No! It's not.- Shame.
0:40:29 > 0:40:35Let's put that behind us now. Your second answer was Rebus Returns.
0:40:35 > 0:40:41Beginning to sound a little bit more plausible. Let's find out if it's correct and if it's pointless.
0:40:41 > 0:40:46If it is, you'll win the jackpot. Is Rebus Returns an Ian Rankin novel?
0:40:48 > 0:40:55No, it's not, I'm afraid, but your final answer, the one that sounds most plausible of all,
0:40:55 > 0:41:02was Rebus Reborn. Now let's see. This might be a correct answer. You never know.
0:41:02 > 0:41:06And if it's correct, it might as well be pointless.
0:41:06 > 0:41:11If it is, it wins you £1,000. Rebus Reborn. Is it an Ian Rankin novel?
0:41:11 > 0:41:14No! Bad luck bad, luck.
0:41:16 > 0:41:22You never know. It might have been. One of these days someone will make up an actual novel,
0:41:22 > 0:41:27but that didn't happen today and you didn't find that pointless answer
0:41:27 > 0:41:34and don't go away with today's jackpot of £1,000. We loved having you and you performed so well.
0:41:34 > 0:41:40- You do take home a Pointless trophy, which you deserved, so well done. - Thank you.
0:41:42 > 0:41:48Yeah, and you're right that Ian Rankin is the author of the Rebus books.
0:41:48 > 0:41:53Also writes about Malcolm Fox. He's a terrific writer.
0:41:53 > 0:41:56Let's look at some pointless ones.
0:41:56 > 0:42:00James Ellroy: American Tabloid, one of his most famous books,
0:42:00 > 0:42:06Blood On The Moon, Blood's A Rover and Killer On The Road. All pointless answers.
0:42:06 > 0:42:11He's well worth reading. Ian Rankin: Dead Souls, Hide and Seek, the second Rebus book,
0:42:11 > 0:42:17Mortal Causes, Tooth and Nail. There's a few more - A Question of Blood, Let It Bleed
0:42:17 > 0:42:20or The Naming of The Dead.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23I suspect some people will have read that recently.
0:42:23 > 0:42:29Martina Cole novels. You could have gone for Broken, Maura's Game, The Jump, Two Women.
0:42:29 > 0:42:33Again, there's a couple more. Another incredibly popular author.
0:42:33 > 0:42:38You could have had Close, Faceless or Faces. All pointless as well.
0:42:38 > 0:42:41Very well done if you got those.
0:42:41 > 0:42:46Thanks, Richard. We have to say goodbye, Kate and Isobel, but it's been great.
0:42:46 > 0:42:51Thank you so much for playing. Kate and Isobel!
0:42:51 > 0:42:55Well, sadly, they didn't win our jackpot, which rolls over
0:42:55 > 0:42:58and we'll be playing for £2,000.
0:43:00 > 0:43:07- Join us to see if someone can win it. Meanwhile, goodbye from Richard. - Goodbye.- And from me. Goodbye.
