0:00:14 > 0:00:15APPLAUSE
0:00:21 > 0:00:23CHEERING
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Thank you very much. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:27 > 0:00:29the quiz where the aim is to score as few points as you can.
0:00:29 > 0:00:33To do that, you need to come up with the answers no-one else can think of.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Let's meet today's players.
0:00:38 > 0:00:43And couple number one. Hello, I'm Sean, this is my friend, Pete. We're from Manchester.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:00:49 > 0:00:54Couple number two. Hi, I'm Martin. This is my friend Mark and we work together in Leeds.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56APPLAUSE AND WHOOPING
0:00:58 > 0:00:59And couple number three.
0:00:59 > 0:01:05Hi, I'm Sian and this is my good friend Beth and we are doing A levels up in Sheffield.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07APPLAUSE
0:01:07 > 0:01:09And finally, couple number four.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13Hi, I'm Ron and this is my wife Chris and we're from Pinner in Middlesex.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16APPLAUSE AND LOUD CHEERING A big cheer for Pinner, there.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19And these are today's contestants.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22We'll find out more about you as the show goes along.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24That just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28People travel far and wide to gawp at him like a brainy Statue of Liberty.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Hiya. Hi, everyone. APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Hiya.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40Blimey, Pinner got a big round of applause. They love a bit of Pinner.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44Bigger than Manchester, Leeds and Sheffield combined. Impressive.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47We've got three pairs back from the last show.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Ron and Chris got through to the head-to-head last time.
0:01:49 > 0:01:55They were very good. Ron trains police cadets and German shepherd dogs. Mm-hm. Yeah.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58You were a little bit frightened of Ron, weren't you? Yeah. I wasn't.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01You were a little bit. I was a bit scared of Ron.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04He was clever, though, wasn't he? Especially when he smiles.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09Oh! He is a puppy, really, though.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12He's like... Is that right, Chris?
0:02:12 > 0:02:14No!
0:02:14 > 0:02:17You didn't let me finish. An Alsatian puppy.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Yes! Yeah.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22And we've also got Martin and Mark and Pete and Sean are back.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24We didn't see as much of them last time, did we? No.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27Andrea and Alex got through to the final, didn't win the jackpot,
0:02:27 > 0:02:29so that's gone up another grand.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32But Ron and Chris are the team to beat in this one, I think.
0:02:32 > 0:02:33I think so. Thanks very much.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36All of our questions were put to 100 people before the show.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40Our contestants need to find the obscure answers those 100 people didn't get.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Everyone's trying to find a pointless answer,
0:02:42 > 0:02:44an answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47Each time that happens, we add ?250 to the jackpot.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50As you've just heard, Andrea and Alex didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:02:50 > 0:02:54so we add another ?1,000 to that, so today's jackpot starts off at ?2,000.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:02:58 > 0:03:00If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07OK, in this first round I want an answer from each of you
0:03:07 > 0:03:09but there is to be no conferring.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13Whichever pair has the highest score will be heading home, so try and make sure that's not you.
0:03:13 > 0:03:18Our first category today is Literature. Literature.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Can you decide who's going to go first, who's going to go second...
0:03:23 > 0:03:25and whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30OK, and the question concerns:
0:03:32 > 0:03:34Winners of the Nobel Prize for Literature.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37Richard? On each pass, we're going to show you the surnames of seven people
0:03:38 > 0:03:40who've won the Nobel Prize for Literature.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44We need you to give us the first name by which they're most commonly known, please.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47There's going to be 14 in all of these to have a go at home.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51Thank you. We're looking for the first names of these winners of the Nobel Prize for Literature.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Here's your first board of seven.
0:04:05 > 0:04:10Now, Pete, Sean, you drew lots before the show and you are going to go first.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13Sean, welcome back. Thank you. Good to have you here.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17Remind us what you do, Sean. I work for Barnardo's, the children's charity.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19And what happened last time you were on the show?
0:04:19 > 0:04:22It didn't go well. Went out in the first round, unfortunately.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24I think I played it too safe...
0:04:24 > 0:04:27You said potato, we said patate. Exactly. Yes. Yeah.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31Yeah, I was hoping someone was going to get 100
0:04:31 > 0:04:34and someone did but it was Pete. Yeah. So...
0:04:36 > 0:04:39How's this? This is an altogether better round, don't you think?
0:04:39 > 0:04:42Yeah. I didn't like the subject
0:04:42 > 0:04:48but languages having let me down last time, I think it's going to help me this time.
0:04:48 > 0:04:53I did French at school and we studied some of Albert Camus's work,
0:04:53 > 0:04:57so I'm going to say Albert. Go for Albert Camus.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01Let's see if that's right and let's see how many of our 100 people said Albert Camus.
0:05:03 > 0:05:04It's right.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Not a bad answer at all. Look at that - 28. APPLAUSE
0:05:10 > 0:05:12That's the way to do it, Sean.
0:05:14 > 0:05:20Albert Camus. Camus said that, "All I know most surely about morality and obligations I owe to football."
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Of course. That's what Camus said.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26When asked if he preferred theatre or football, he said, "Without hesitation, football."
0:05:26 > 0:05:29If you asked me if I preferred the books of Albert Camus or football,
0:05:29 > 0:05:32I would also say, without hesitation, football.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Thank you very much. Now, Mark, welcome back.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39Another returning pair. Remind us what you do. I'm a trainee accountant.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42And how close to completion is your training?
0:05:42 > 0:05:47Hopefully this year. Are you just raring to be let loose on those accounts?
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Oh, definitely. Definitely, yeah. Aren't we all?
0:05:50 > 0:05:54Aren't we all! And in your spare time, what do you like to do?
0:05:54 > 0:05:58I play the guitar, try and keep myself fit a little bit, with limited success.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02I try a bit of cooking, going out, so standard stuff. Good-oh.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04OK, now, what do you make of this board?
0:06:04 > 0:06:06It's, yeah...
0:06:06 > 0:06:09The category came up and I thought, this is horrendous.
0:06:09 > 0:06:14I think I can have a go at the middle five. That's good.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16But the top one's concerning me slightly
0:06:16 > 0:06:19because I did do German at university
0:06:19 > 0:06:21and I think might be, potentially, German.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23I don't want to go for it because I'm not too sure about it.
0:06:23 > 0:06:29I think I'll probably go for Pinter. I think it's Harold Pinter.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33Harold Pinter, says Mark. Let's see if Harold Pinter's right and how many of our 100 said it.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Absolutely right.
0:06:39 > 0:06:40Oh! 56 for Harold Pinter. APPLAUSE
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Exactly double Sean's score.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46The British playwright Harold Pinter.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50He was nominated for two Oscars in his lifetime, both for screenplays.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54What were they? The French Lieutenant's Woman and Betrayal.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Thanks, Richard. Impressive.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00Sian. Hiya. Welcome to Pointless.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03What do you do, Sian? I'm doing A levels at the moment.
0:07:03 > 0:07:08You're doing your A levels. So you must be among the youngest Pointless contestants we've had. Possibly.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11As soon as I turned 18, I was like, "Beth, we're going on Pointless."
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Very well done.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Now, what do you do in your spare time? What are your hobbies, Sian?
0:07:16 > 0:07:20At the moment, it mainly consists of revision, just solid revision.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24Well, this is quite helpful, maybe? I don't do English, so not really.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27What do you make of the board?
0:07:27 > 0:07:31I knew Pinter. Hemingway and Steinbeck I know
0:07:31 > 0:07:33and the rest, just no - no.
0:07:33 > 0:07:39So I'm going to go with Steinbeck because we studied that at GCSE - Of Mice And Men.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43John is his first name. John Steinbeck says Sian. John Steinbeck.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:07:49 > 0:07:50It's right.
0:07:52 > 0:07:5444. APPLAUSE
0:07:54 > 0:07:59Not bad at all, Sian. 44 with Steinbeck.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03Well played. Steinbeck also wrote screenplays. He was nominated for three Oscars.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Well, get him. Yeah. How about that?
0:08:06 > 0:08:12And what were his? Lifeboat. OK. Viva Zapata! and A Medal For Benny.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Thanks very much indeed. Nicely done. Thanks.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18Chris, welcome back to the show. Thank you, Alexander.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21And what do you do, Chris? I'm happily retired.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23And what do you do with your happy retirement?
0:08:23 > 0:08:27We love to travel. We have a beautiful German shepherd dog
0:08:27 > 0:08:29and I love to go shopping.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32You have a pretty extensive knowledge of North America.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36We love America. We have a daughter and three grandchildren who live there, so it helps.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38So you're over there quite a bit. Yes.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42This is your board. You can fill in all the remaining blanks, if you like.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Erm... Do you fancy talking us through it?
0:08:44 > 0:08:47I'm afraid I can't, Alexander, but there's one left that I know.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51I'm going for Hemingway as in Ernest.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54I've had a mojito in his favourite bar in Cuba. There we are. OK.
0:08:54 > 0:08:59Ernest Hemingway, says Chris. Let's see how many people said Ernest Hemingway.
0:09:02 > 0:09:03Is it right.
0:09:03 > 0:09:0568! Oh! APPLAUSE
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Better than 100. Better than 100, as you say.
0:09:09 > 0:09:1368. Not bad. Well played, Chris. Let's fill in the rest of the board.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15I bet you know all of these, do you?
0:09:15 > 0:09:20Now, Hesse, he is German. Heinrich? Hermann. Hermann Hesse.
0:09:20 > 0:09:21That would have scored you 14.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Heaney? Seamus. Seamus Heaney, yes. That would have scored 26.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26And the best answer on the board? Dario.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Dario Fo, the Italian playwright, would have scored you four points.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Well done if you said that. Thanks very much.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Let's take a look at those scores.
0:09:33 > 0:09:3728 points for Sean and Pete. Very well done. Nice low scoring.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Then we travel up to 44, where we find Sian and Beth.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44Up to 56, where we find the accountants Mark and Martin
0:09:44 > 0:09:47and then up to 68, where we find Chris and Ron.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Ron, you'll get first choice of the next board,
0:09:49 > 0:09:52so make sure you find a nice low score there
0:09:52 > 0:09:55and we'll have to hope that's enough to see you through.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:09:59 > 0:10:04OK, let's put seven more surnames on the board and here we go.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13I'll read those all again.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20We're looking for the first names of these winners of the Nobel Prize for Literature.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24Ron, you're going to try and find the one you think the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Now, Ron, we discovered last time you break in Alsatians
0:10:27 > 0:10:30and you break in police recruits. Yeah. Like that.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Wow. How long have you done the police recruit work?
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Well, it's not recruits. It's volunteer police cadets...
0:10:36 > 0:10:41Right. OK. ..which are youngsters aged between 14 to 19.
0:10:41 > 0:10:46So they come to you a ragbag and they leave a cadre of disciplined young men and women?
0:10:46 > 0:10:49Yes. In a word. LAUGHTER
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Do you do a lot of shouting? Yes.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Usually about an inch from their faces?
0:10:54 > 0:10:56About that, yeah.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59Now, you're the high scorers. We need a low score from you.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01That's done me no favours at all, that.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04I haven't got a clue, to be honest with you,
0:11:04 > 0:11:07so I'm just going to have to give a guess. John Churchill.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11John Churchill. Well, it worked for Steinbeck, let's see if it does for Churchill.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14No red line for you as you're the high scorers there.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18But let's see if John Churchill is right and let's see how many people said that.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24No. I'm sorry, Ron. I'm sorry. Tough board, there.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27That incorrect answer scores you the maximum of 100 points
0:11:27 > 0:11:29and takes your total up to 168. Sorry.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Sorry, Ron. Even worse than that,
0:11:31 > 0:11:34I'm going to need you to do 50 press-ups, I'm afraid.
0:11:34 > 0:11:41Now, Beth. Yeah. Welcome to Pointless. It's great to have you here. What do you do?
0:11:41 > 0:11:43I'm a student as well, with Sian, doing my A levels.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46And what are your A levels? Geography, Maths and Physics.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49Ah! No, English in there. No. No. Unfortunately.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53So when you've watched Pointless, what are the rounds you see
0:11:53 > 0:11:56and you think, "Ah, that's the one for us"?
0:11:56 > 0:11:59Probably the geography rounds and the physics rounds. Yeah.
0:11:59 > 0:12:00Anything science-y.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04Well, there's great news for you. You're through to the next round.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06The high scorers, Ron and Chris, are out of your reach.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10So that's good but we are going to require an answer from you.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12So what do you make of this board?
0:12:12 > 0:12:16When I first looked at it, I thought I've not heard of any of them
0:12:16 > 0:12:20but then I think the first one, Golding, might be William.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22OK, you're going to go with William Golding.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24No red line as you're already through
0:12:24 > 0:12:27but let's see how many of our 100 people said William Golding.
0:12:33 > 0:12:3621! Very well done indeed. APPLAUSE
0:12:37 > 0:12:42Lowest score of the round so far, Beth. 65, your total.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Very well played, Beth. Best known for Lord Of The Flies.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48Thanks very much. Now, Martin. Welcome back.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51Martin, what you do in your spare time? What are you hobbies?
0:12:51 > 0:12:53I like watching football and playing football.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56I play five-a-side every week with my friends.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59I'm massively into golf, as well, so sport, basically.
0:12:59 > 0:13:04How long have you played golf for? I started when I was about 12 years old. Oh, right.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07Got a good handicap? I haven't got one at the minute because I'm not a member of a club.
0:13:07 > 0:13:12Hopefully when I qualify, I'll have a bit of spare cash and I'll join again.
0:13:12 > 0:13:17Good stuff. So we want the first names of these winners of the Nobel Prize for Literature.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20Now, what do you make of this board? You're through already.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23Yes, it couldn't have been a worse subject, to be honest.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25I've absolutely no idea about any of them.
0:13:25 > 0:13:29I'm going to go for Morrison and say Van.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31LAUGHTER
0:13:35 > 0:13:37Well, some would say he's a poet.
0:13:39 > 0:13:44Van Morrison. Let's see if it's right. There's no red line for you as you are....
0:13:45 > 0:13:48There's no red line for you...
0:13:51 > 0:13:54Er... No red line for you...
0:13:55 > 0:13:58I just like that idea a lot. Martin, there's no...
0:14:01 > 0:14:03HE LAUGHS
0:14:03 > 0:14:07No red line as you're already through but let's see if Van Morrison is right
0:14:07 > 0:14:10and how many of our 100 people said Van Morrison.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12LAUGHTER
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Oh, bad luck, Martin. I'm sorry.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17I'm sorry. Oh, I would so like that to be true.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21It may one day be, you never know, but for the moment, I'm afraid, not Van Morrison.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25That scores you 100 points and takes your total up to 156. Richard?
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Yeah, he's never won the Nobel Prize for Literature.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29He just lost out in 1985 to Rick Astley.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35Thanks, Richard.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39Pete. Hi. Pete, welcome back. Remind us what you do.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41I work as a sales rep for a haberdashery company.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45That's right. We discovered last time you sell buttons...
0:14:45 > 0:14:48Zips. ..pins, zips. Ribbons. Thread.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50In your spare time, Pete, what do you like to do?
0:14:50 > 0:14:53Like Sean, go to gigs. Do a bit of running.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Manchester United - go to the football.
0:14:55 > 0:14:59What was the last gig you went to? Kraftwerk at Tate Modern.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01Good stuff. It was good.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04OK, now, Pete, we're looking for the first names of these winners
0:15:04 > 0:15:05of the Nobel Prize for Literature.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08You're the last person to have the board and you're already through,
0:15:08 > 0:15:11but why not fill in the blanks for us, if you can?
0:15:11 > 0:15:17I used to listen to This Sceptred Isle in the car - Winston Churchill was always referenced in that.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20He might have written something else. I don't know.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Charles Brodsky, maybe?
0:15:22 > 0:15:27But I don't really know. Samuel Beckett seems a little early to win that.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29I'll go with Winston Churchill, I think.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Winston Churchill, says Pete. Winston Churchill.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Let's see if that's right and how people said it.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36No red line because you're already through.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41Yeah. Oh, bad luck, Ron. 70 it scored, though.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44We'd have still lost. Yeah. Big score, there.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47Good for you, Pete. That takes your total up to 98.
0:15:48 > 0:15:49Very well played.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52Obviously for his histories and biographies and what have you.
0:15:52 > 0:15:56Now, I bet you can do all of these apart from Brodsky.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59Toni Morrison. Yeah, Toni Morrison would have scored you three.
0:15:59 > 0:16:00A terrific answer.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03Doris Lessing. That would have scored you 22.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07Samuel Beckett. Yeah, it was Samuel Beckett. That would have scored 32.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10Thomas Mann. Thomas Mann, yeah. That would scored 17.
0:16:10 > 0:16:14I like Charles Brodsky... LAUGHTER
0:16:14 > 0:16:16Joseph Brodsky. That's the best answer up there.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18That would have scored you two points.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21He went on to form Brodsky Beat with Jimmy Somerville. Exactly, yes.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26So at the end of our first round, I'm afraid the pair leaving us -
0:16:26 > 0:16:29head-to-head last time, we had great hopes for you today... Sorry.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32And I'm sorry that it was Winston Churchill. Yeah, well.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34Tough. That was tough.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36It was a pretty unforgiving board, that one.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40We have to say goodbye to you. It's been lovely having you on the show.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43But great contestants. Ron and Chris. Thank you.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45Good luck, everybody! Good luck.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for round two.
0:16:52 > 0:16:57OK, three pairs remain and at the end of this round, we'll be saying goodbye to another pair.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00Martin and Mark - Van Morrison.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04And you're still here.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08What a double achievement for your first round, there.
0:17:08 > 0:17:09Very well done indeed.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12Now, it was round two last time where you met your nemesis,
0:17:12 > 0:17:14so let's hope we see you beyond this round.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17Sian and Beth, fantastic performance from you
0:17:17 > 0:17:19and Pete and Sean, nice low scoring from you as well.
0:17:19 > 0:17:24Best of luck to all three pairs. Our category for round two is:
0:17:24 > 0:17:26Australian Actors.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29Can you all decide who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:17:29 > 0:17:31And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38OK, let's find out what the question is. We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:17:38 > 0:17:42to name as many Hugh Jackman films as they could.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Hugh Jackman films, Richard.
0:17:44 > 0:17:49We're looking for the name of any feature film made for cinema release up to February 2013
0:17:49 > 0:17:50that starred Hugh Jackman, please.
0:17:50 > 0:17:55As always, no short films, TV films, documentaries or uncredited performances
0:17:55 > 0:17:57but voice performances do count.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00Very, very best of luck. Thanks very much indeed.
0:18:00 > 0:18:05So, Pete, Hugh Jackman films. Mm. Mm.
0:18:05 > 0:18:11I think he was in that big Australian biopic about Australia
0:18:11 > 0:18:13called Australia.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15LAUGHTER The Baz Luhrmann - yeah.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18OK. So I'll go for Australia. We'll go for Australia.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21Let's see how many people said Australia.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25It's right.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31It's a good answer. Very well done, Pete.
0:18:36 > 0:18:40Australia. Australia, yeah. As you say, it's a film all about Australia set in Australia.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43Hugh Jackman, Nicole Kidman. It was a very, very long production.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47There were 15 babies born to people who worked on the set during the production,
0:18:47 > 0:18:49including Nicole Kidman's.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52Thank you very much. It couldn't be more of a pleasure.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54I'm just picturing that. That's nice. That's a lot.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57Including the leading lady, though. Yeah.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59A long production. Thank you very much indeed.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03Now, Mark, Mark... Hello. Hugh Jackman films. Not good.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06Oh, no, no. It can't be round two again. I'm not standing for that.
0:19:06 > 0:19:11That's my identical thought process but this is not good.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15There are some obvious ones there, Mark, obviously. Are there?
0:19:15 > 0:19:18Erm...
0:19:18 > 0:19:20I'm glad they are obvious to you. Mm-hm.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24Erm... The only one I could have guessed at
0:19:24 > 0:19:26and been sure about was the one that's already gone.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30Really? Yeah.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34Which is bad because I know my girlfriend will be at home
0:19:34 > 0:19:37saying, "This one, this one, this one."
0:19:37 > 0:19:39I don't know any of them. Oh! I'm going to have to have a guess.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42I'm going to have an absolute stab. Oh, Mark!
0:19:42 > 0:19:45No, I know, I know. I'm sure you will know some.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49So I'm going to have an absolute stab at The Dark Knight.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53The Dark Knight. I don't know why I've said that, but it's a guess.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57The Dark Knight. Let's see if that's right and how many people said The Dark Knight.
0:19:57 > 0:20:01One day, someone's going to have a stab and it's going to be right. It has happened.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06Sadly not today. No, bad luck.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09An incorrect answer scores you the maximum 100 points. Sorry, Mark.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12Sorry, Mark. Heath Ledger in that, of course, but no Hugh Jackman.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16Thanks very much. Now, Sian. Hugh Jackman movies.
0:20:16 > 0:20:22I think I am going to go for...
0:20:23 > 0:20:27the second X-Men film - X2.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30X2. Mm. X2, says Sian.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said X2.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38It's right.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40100 our high score. You've passed that.
0:20:40 > 0:20:4217 our low and you've passed that, too.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46Look at that - down to nine. Well done, Sian. Great answer.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Well played, Sian. That's a very good answer. Well done.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56Thanks, Richard. Let's take a look at those scores.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58Nine, the score we've just heard here from Sian.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01A fantastic low score there. Very well done.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04You're in pole position at this halfway mark.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Then we travel up to 17, where we find Pete and Sean,
0:21:07 > 0:21:09then up to 100, Mark and Martin.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13Now, Martin, Mark's 100 may not be the last 100 of the round
0:21:13 > 0:21:15but yours must not be the next one.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19OK? It's not looking good. Oh, Martin!
0:21:19 > 0:21:21Get thinking, get thinking!
0:21:21 > 0:21:24Just do some lateral thinking at this stage - it might help you.
0:21:24 > 0:21:25We're coming back down the line.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:21:30 > 0:21:33OK, we are looking for Hugh Jackman films, Beth.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37Sian has given us a cracking answer and put you in a very strong position on nine.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40The high scorers are Martin and Mark on 100, so a score of 90 or less
0:21:40 > 0:21:41keeps you in the game.
0:21:41 > 0:21:45Yeah, well, I don't know who Hugh Jackman is,
0:21:45 > 0:21:50so I was just going to try and guess a film that was vaguely Australian.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53I was going to go with Crocodile Dundee.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57LAUGHTER OK.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Crocodile Dundee.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02Sian's cringing at me now.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04Crocodile Dundee. There is your red line.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08Sian might have done enough to see you through, so it might be fine.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11Let's see if Crocodile Dundee is right and how many people said it.
0:22:11 > 0:22:12There is your red line.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17Oh, bad luck. I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20That scores you 100 points and takes your total up to 109.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23Yeah, Hugh Jackman. He's the guy from Australia and X2.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27He's that guy. There we are. Exactly.
0:22:27 > 0:22:32Now, Martin, Martin. You've just been thrown a lifeline of sorts.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36Yeah, Beth has scored 100 there, so 109 the high scorers.
0:22:36 > 0:22:41You're on 100. If you can score eight or less, Martin, eight or less - just think about that -
0:22:41 > 0:22:43you're in the head-to-head. Right.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46I'm not big on my films at all.
0:22:46 > 0:22:50OK. Another Van Morrison coming, I think. Erm...
0:22:51 > 0:22:55I'm going to say Les Miserables. Les Miserables says Martin.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Les Miserables. Here comes your red line. It's very low.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01Les Miserables - is it right? How many people said it, if it is?
0:23:03 > 0:23:04It's right.
0:23:08 > 0:23:1033! APPLAUSE
0:23:11 > 0:23:13133 is your total.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18Nominated for the Oscar for Best Actor for that film, of course.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20Behind you, Sian is essentially dancing.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22Just so long as you know.
0:23:23 > 0:23:29Now, then, Sean. Sean, you're in the head-to-head, which is great news.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31That is great news. Even if you score 100 points.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35Take us through your thinking. Favourite Hugh Jackman films?
0:23:35 > 0:23:37Australia, X2...
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Les Mis.
0:23:40 > 0:23:45I haven't got a definite answer but if I'm through anyway,
0:23:45 > 0:23:47that's fine, that's good.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50But I'm going to guess he was in the first X-Men film.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54X-Men. The X-Men.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58X-Men. With the definitive article. You're going to say X-Men.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00OK, X-Men, says Sean.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03You're on 17. No red line - you're already through.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06Let's see if X-Men's right and let's see how many people said it.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11Absolutely right, Sean. That is proper lateral thinking.
0:24:12 > 0:24:16There we are - 34. Not a bad score, either, really. APPLAUSE
0:24:16 > 0:24:1851 is your total.
0:24:18 > 0:24:23Well done, Sean. That's the way to do it on the last podium if you don't know an actor -
0:24:23 > 0:24:25go for a sequel or even a prequel.
0:24:25 > 0:24:30Now, there's only pointless answer, which is very impressive of our 100.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34The pointless answer was Snow Flower And The Secret Fan from 2011. Well done if you said that.
0:24:34 > 0:24:40Movie 43 came out in 2013, a big turkey that had everyone in it, just a series of sketches.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43And Rise Of The Guardians - those two both would have scored you one point.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46Some other low scorers for you.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48Animal Attraction would have scored you one point.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51You would have got two for The Fountain.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55Happy Feet would have scored you two. Kate And Leopold would have also scored you two.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58Scoop and The Prestige, Paperback Hero and Flushed Away
0:24:58 > 0:25:00would have scored you three. Richard, if I could interrupt.
0:25:00 > 0:25:06You know who co-starred with him in Scoop? In Scoop? In Scoop, yeah.
0:25:06 > 0:25:10Oh, that was that terrible flop. I haven't seen it. Yeah.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13Ah. You'll have to bear with me. To be honest, nor have I.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16You were in it, were you? Yeah, I'm in it. Did you act with him?
0:25:16 > 0:25:20Yeah. I was in a... I was in a scene. I had a...
0:25:20 > 0:25:22I'm going to call it a soliloquy.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25I came in and said, "They're just pulling the bodies out of the lake now, sir."
0:25:25 > 0:25:27And walked out.
0:25:28 > 0:25:29That's good! Yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32Is he nice? Couldn't have been nicer.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35He really couldn't, yeah. Nice fella. That's good.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38Yeah. That is good. That was the Woody Allen thing, yeah? Yeah. Ah!
0:25:38 > 0:25:40You could have also had Swordfish for four,
0:25:40 > 0:25:42Real Steel you could have had for six.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44I saw that with my son. That's a great film.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47Terrible if you're not watching it with your son but a great film.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50Van Helsing would have scored you eight points.
0:25:50 > 0:25:51X2 we've already had.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54Let's take a look at the top three.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56X-Men Origins: Wolverine would have scored you 20
0:25:56 > 0:25:59and the top two we already know - Les Miserables on 33
0:25:59 > 0:26:00and X-Men on 34.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02Thanks very much, Richard.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05So at the end of our second round, Martin and Mark, once again -
0:26:05 > 0:26:07what is it about round two? What don't you like?
0:26:07 > 0:26:09Is it the colouring? What is it?
0:26:10 > 0:26:15Something. Something. You're not breaking through the round two glass wall.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Not so far, no. I'm so sorry.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19This is it. This is the end of the Pointless line for you.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22We have to say goodbye but thanks very much for playing.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25Martin and Mark. Cheers. Cheers. APPLAUSE
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Thank you.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for the head-to-head.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37Congratulations, Pete and Sean, Sian and Beth,
0:26:37 > 0:26:40you're one step closer to the final and our jackpot,
0:26:40 > 0:26:43which currently stands at ?2,000.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45WHOOPING
0:26:47 > 0:26:50Now, to decide who's going to play for that money, you're going to go head-to-head.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52You're now allowed to confer.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55First pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:26:55 > 0:26:59Pete and Sean, I don't know what's happened today, but last time, round one you walked.
0:26:59 > 0:27:03This time, you've made it to the head-to-head as our golden pair,
0:27:03 > 0:27:04our lowest-scoring pair.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07You're in the driving seat. How are you feeling? Great.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09Been revising. Revising a lot since we saw you last.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13Do you know, it shows, Sean. It really does. Up all night.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15That shows as well but...
0:27:17 > 0:27:19Sian and Beth, amazing performance.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22Only one misstep, which was Crocodile Dundee but...
0:27:22 > 0:27:25At least it was Australian. Yeah! It was Australian. There we are.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27And you made it through, so it's fine.
0:27:27 > 0:27:31This is going to be a very exciting head-to-head. Let's play it.
0:27:35 > 0:27:39OK, here comes your first question and it concerns:
0:27:42 > 0:27:47Famous streets, roads and avenues. Richard? We're about to show you five pictures.
0:27:47 > 0:27:51You just need to tell us the city in which each is located, please.
0:27:51 > 0:27:55OK, so let's reveal our five streets, roads and avenues and here they are.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57We have got:
0:28:12 > 0:28:16There they are - five famous streets, roads and avenues.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18All we need are the cities they are to be found in.
0:28:18 > 0:28:22Pete and Sean, you've played best so far, so you get to go first.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24D is Edinburgh.
0:28:24 > 0:28:28THEY WHISPER
0:28:28 > 0:28:32We're going to go for D and say Edinburgh.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35D, Edinburgh, say Pete and Sean. D, Edinburgh.
0:28:35 > 0:28:40Now, Sian and Beth. Can you talk us through the other streets, avenues and roads?
0:28:40 > 0:28:43I wish we could. Just think aloud on them. Beth knows.
0:28:43 > 0:28:48I think A could be in New York City.
0:28:48 > 0:28:51I'm not sure about B or C.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54But I think E is in San Francisco.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57Shall we go for that one? So I'm going to go for that one.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59OK, E, San Francisco, say Sian and Beth.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01E, San Francisco.
0:29:01 > 0:29:05Pete and Sean said Edinburgh. Let's see if that's right and how many people said Edinburgh.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08Of course it is Edinburgh.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15Wow! Nice low score for Edinburgh. Look at that - 12.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23Sian and Beth have said San Francisco for E.
0:29:23 > 0:29:28San Francisco. Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many people said San Francisco.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30It's right.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34The next thing it has to do is beat 12. It looks like it...
0:29:34 > 0:29:36Ooh, no. 22. APPLAUSE
0:29:38 > 0:29:42Two very good answers but, Pete and Sean, yours won in the end,
0:29:42 > 0:29:44which means you're up one-nil.
0:29:44 > 0:29:48That's the Royal Mile in Edinburgh beating Lombard Street in San Francisco.
0:29:48 > 0:29:52San Francisco is so hilly that they have that by-law that you have in some other places
0:29:52 > 0:29:56where when you park, you have to turn your wheels to the kerb
0:29:56 > 0:29:59just in case your handbrake fails, so that nothing will go downhill.
0:29:59 > 0:30:03It's illegal to just leave your tyres straight when you park on a hill in San Francisco.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05It's sensible. Isn't that sensible?
0:30:05 > 0:30:08Now, A, you're right, Beth - it was New York.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11That would have been a bigger score. It would have scored you 48 points.
0:30:11 > 0:30:15B is the Champs Elysees in Paris.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17That would have scored you 19.
0:30:17 > 0:30:21And C is the widest avenue in the world
0:30:21 > 0:30:24and it's in Buenos Aires and that would have scored you two,
0:30:24 > 0:30:26so very well done if you said that.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29Thanks very much indeed, Richard. So here comes your second question.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31Sian and Beth, you get to go first this time
0:30:31 > 0:30:34but you have to win this one to stay in. Best of luck.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36It concerns:
0:30:37 > 0:30:39Martial Arts. Richard?
0:30:39 > 0:30:42We're going to show you the names of five forms of martial art
0:30:42 > 0:30:45but we've missed out alternate letters - can you fill in those gaps?
0:30:45 > 0:30:48OK. Let's reveal our five martial arts with missing letters
0:30:48 > 0:30:49and here they are.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02I'll read those again without the blanks.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12There are. Five martial arts with missing letters.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15Sian and Beth, you can have a moment or two to confer
0:31:15 > 0:31:17but you will go first.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23Well, this is hard!
0:31:23 > 0:31:28Yeah? We have come to the conclusion that we suck at martial arts
0:31:28 > 0:31:31and we should probably take up some.
0:31:31 > 0:31:35We know the bottom two and we're trying to decide which would be the lowest out of those two.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37I think we're going to have to go for taekwondo.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40Taekwondo, say Sian and Beth. Taekwondo.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43Now, Pete and Sean. The board is all yours. Talk us through it.
0:31:43 > 0:31:49Taekwondo. The second one down - aikido.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51Judo - I knew that one.
0:31:51 > 0:31:55Yeah. Yeah, difficult, really, so...
0:31:55 > 0:31:59I suppose the second one down - aikido.
0:31:59 > 0:32:03Yeah. Because I don't think judo will beat taekwondo.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05So aikido. Aikido.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07Taekwondo and aikido.
0:32:07 > 0:32:11Sian and Beth said taekwondo. Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14Taekwondo.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16It's right.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19Oh, that's a high one. 79 for taekwondo. APPLAUSE
0:32:22 > 0:32:24Pete and Sean have gone for aikido.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26Let's see if that's right and how many people said aikido.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30It's right. Yep, that wins it for you.
0:32:30 > 0:32:33APPLAUSE 51.
0:32:37 > 0:32:3951 for aikido wins that question,
0:32:39 > 0:32:43so, Pete and Sean, after only two questions, you're through to the final, two-nil. Very well done.
0:32:43 > 0:32:47There's one obvious one and two very difficult ones there.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50The obvious one is judo. What do you think judo scored?
0:32:50 > 0:32:5487. Might be a record for this round. It scored 96.
0:32:54 > 0:32:55Wow.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58And the other two, the top one would have scored you one point.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01That's Muay Thai. Very well done if you said that.
0:33:01 > 0:33:06And other one you can possibly work it out if you know a bit about martial arts - shinkendo.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09Very well done if you did work it out because it's a pointless answer.
0:33:09 > 0:33:11Thanks very much, Richard.
0:33:11 > 0:33:14So the pair leaving us, I'm afraid it's Sian and Beth.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17But you've done so well. What a fantastic performance.
0:33:17 > 0:33:18Your first ever Pointless performance.
0:33:18 > 0:33:21We'll get to see you again next time. We look forward to that.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24I'm sure you'll do this well and maybe even better.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26But thanks very much, Sian and Beth!
0:33:26 > 0:33:28APPLAUSE
0:33:30 > 0:33:33But for Pete and Sean, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:33:33 > 0:33:40Congratulations, Pete and Sean, you've seen off all the competition
0:33:40 > 0:33:43and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy, so very, very, well done.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:33:51 > 0:33:55and at the end of today's show the jackpot stands at ?2,000.
0:33:55 > 0:33:56CHEERING
0:33:59 > 0:34:01Well, you've done very, very well.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03We had the Nobel Prize for Literature.
0:34:03 > 0:34:04We had Camus, we had Churchill.
0:34:04 > 0:34:08We've had the films of Hugh Jackman - Australia, a very good guess with X-Men.
0:34:08 > 0:34:12Anyone else could have guessed that. I'm amazed no-one else did.
0:34:12 > 0:34:17And then we've had famous streets and then we had martial arts.
0:34:17 > 0:34:21Yeah, there we are. A two-nil victory in the head-to-head is always a good thing.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24And this from people who went out in the first round last time.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26What do you want to see come up in this final round?
0:34:26 > 0:34:30Music. Pop music of some... Preferably '80s, maybe '90s.
0:34:30 > 0:34:34Yeah. Yeah. Pop music generally or... Yeah, that would be good.
0:34:34 > 0:34:38OK. And if not pop music, Pete, what's a good strong area for you?
0:34:39 > 0:34:42Haberdashery. Haberdashery, possibly.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45If buttons comes up... I'm there. ..you've got it made.
0:34:45 > 0:34:50Food, maybe. OK. Food and drink. Good stuff.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53All right. As always, you start by choosing a category.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55You have a choice of four options. They are:
0:35:04 > 0:35:06Girl bands? It's got to be. We'll go for girl bands.
0:35:06 > 0:35:07Girl bands? Yes.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10Any area within girl bands that you're hoping is going to be covered?
0:35:10 > 0:35:14Girl bands. Just girl bands. Yes.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16I was thinking, within... That'll do.
0:35:16 > 0:35:20Are there any particular bands you feel you know more about than others?
0:35:20 > 0:35:25Well, Motown, some '60s girl groups. You like '60s, '70s.
0:35:25 > 0:35:28It depends where it's pitching at. If it's '80s, Sean might know those.
0:35:28 > 0:35:32And if it's from the Noughties, less...? Yeah, maybe, yeah.
0:35:32 > 0:35:36I've got young kids, so they've kind of kept me in touch with what's going on - ish.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39OK, well, that's fine. They've gone for Girl Bands, Richard.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42It's a gutsy play for two Mancs to go for Girl Bands.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44Well done, guys.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47If you win the jackpot on it, you'd say, "Yeah, we won the jackpot."
0:35:47 > 0:35:51"What did you win it on?" "Oh, er... It was a Formula One thing.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54"Something about that. Superbikes. Superbikes we won it on."
0:35:54 > 0:35:58Erm, not Motown, I'm afraid but here are the three categories you can choose between.
0:35:58 > 0:36:04We are looking for any UK top 40 hit up to the end of January 2013 by Atomic Kitten.
0:36:04 > 0:36:08We are looking for any top 40 hit by The Saturdays.
0:36:08 > 0:36:12Or any top 40 hit by the ever-changing Sugababes.
0:36:12 > 0:36:17So any top 40 hit by any of those groups up to the end of January 2013.
0:36:17 > 0:36:20Very, very best of luck, guys. Thanks very much indeed.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23You've got up to a minute to come up with three answers.
0:36:23 > 0:36:28To win that jackpot of ?2,000 all you have to do is find just one pointless answer.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30Now, the answers you give can come from any of those categories -
0:36:30 > 0:36:33all three from one category, one from each, it's up to you.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36Just say which category it is when you give your answers. Ready?
0:36:36 > 0:36:39Yeah. Yes. OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41There they are. Your time starts now.
0:36:41 > 0:36:45Right, I know Whole Again. That's it as far as I'm concerned.
0:36:45 > 0:36:49Erm... Sugababes had a song called Overload. It was an early single.
0:36:49 > 0:36:53Right, OK. I'm pretty sure it went top 40, fairly low.
0:36:53 > 0:36:59Oh, I just can't believe we're going to possibly lose on this. We'll get ribbed.
0:36:59 > 0:37:03Erm... Sugababes. There's Push The Button. That was a big hit.
0:37:03 > 0:37:08Whole Again. I can't think of anything by The Saturdays.
0:37:08 > 0:37:11No, forget The Saturdays. We'll have Atomic Kitten or Sugababes.
0:37:11 > 0:37:16Erm... Have you got even an inkling of titles? No, I don't. Nothing at all.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19OK, so let's drill down.
0:37:19 > 0:37:22Whole Again. Yeah. That's not going to be it, is it? No.
0:37:22 > 0:37:25Erm, Overload. Sugababes, Sugababes.
0:37:25 > 0:37:30How early is Overload? I think it was the first single they had.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32The first chart single. Ten seconds left.
0:37:32 > 0:37:34It'll have to be that, then, won't it?
0:37:36 > 0:37:39Round Round. Was it Round Round? Yeah, Round Round.
0:37:41 > 0:37:45OK, that's your time up. I now need your three answers. What are you going to give me?
0:37:45 > 0:37:49Right, we're doing Sugababes first. Sugababes, pretty certain they had a single called Overload.
0:37:49 > 0:37:53Overload. And then we drop off massively.
0:37:53 > 0:37:55Atomic Kitten, Whole Again. Whole Again. Great song.
0:37:55 > 0:38:01Erm... Sugababes also had a single called Round Round.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03Round Round. Yeah. Round Round.
0:38:03 > 0:38:07So we have Overload, Whole Again, Round Round.
0:38:07 > 0:38:09Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:09 > 0:38:12That would be Overload. Overload we'll put last.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14Least likely? Whole Again. Whole Again least.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17OK, let's put those up in that order and here they are.
0:38:17 > 0:38:21We have got Whole Again, Round Round and Overload.
0:38:21 > 0:38:24Well, very, very best of luck. Your first answer was Whole Again.
0:38:24 > 0:38:28Now, this was the one you thought was least likely to be pointless but who knows?
0:38:28 > 0:38:33Maybe people just had a blind spot when it came to voting on Atomic Kitten.
0:38:33 > 0:38:37In which case, maybe it's pointless and it'll win you that jackpot of ?2,000.
0:38:37 > 0:38:41It's not our biggest ever jackpot but, Pete, what would you do with your share of that?
0:38:41 > 0:38:46I think I'd come to London and spend four days at Tate Modern.
0:38:46 > 0:38:49I think. It's a great museum, a great art gallery.
0:38:49 > 0:38:53It needs the time. Blow it all on that.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56Very good. Good cultural answer there, Pete. Well done. Thanks.
0:38:56 > 0:39:00Sean. I'm going to lower the tone and go...
0:39:00 > 0:39:02Probably credit card bills.
0:39:02 > 0:39:05Got a holiday booked to Croatia later this year,
0:39:05 > 0:39:07so something towards that.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09Good. Nothing as cultured as Pete.
0:39:09 > 0:39:11Croatia's good. Yeah. Have you been before?
0:39:11 > 0:39:14Yeah, a couple of times. It's beautiful. Very nice.
0:39:14 > 0:39:18It would be the first time ever that Atomic Kitten have encouraged somebody to go to Tate Modern.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21That's quite nice. That is nice.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23OK, your first answer. Whole Again. Let's find out.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25If it's pointless, it wins you the jackpot.
0:39:25 > 0:39:29For ?2,000, is Whole Again an Atomic Kitten UK top 40 hit?
0:39:31 > 0:39:33It is, of course.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36Whole Again. If this takes you all the way down to zero,
0:39:36 > 0:39:37you will leave with ?2,000.
0:39:37 > 0:39:40Down through the forties, the thirties...
0:39:40 > 0:39:42Oh! 31. GROANING AND APPLAUSE
0:39:42 > 0:39:44Very popular song.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48Sadly not pointless.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51Now, your second answer was Round Round.
0:39:51 > 0:39:53We're now on to Sugababes top 40 hits.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55If it's pointless, it wins you that jackpot of ?2,000.
0:39:55 > 0:39:59Let's find out if it was indeed a Sugababes top 40 hit. Round Round.
0:40:02 > 0:40:06It's right! Whole Again, your first answer, took us down to 31.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09Round Round taking us down through the forties.
0:40:09 > 0:40:13It passes Whole Again. Down it goes into single figures.
0:40:13 > 0:40:15Eight! Very well done! This is more like it. APPLAUSE
0:40:17 > 0:40:21It's going the right way. Round Round is quite a well-known song.
0:40:21 > 0:40:25Overload - I'm struggling to remember that one.
0:40:25 > 0:40:28So maybe the rest of our 100 might have struggled to remember that one.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31Let's hope so. Let us hope so. Maybe it's a brilliant answer.
0:40:31 > 0:40:34Maybe Croatia and the Tate Modern beckon.
0:40:35 > 0:40:37Here's your third and final answer. Let's see Overload.
0:40:37 > 0:40:41For ?2,000, was it a Sugababes top 40 single?
0:40:43 > 0:40:47It was! So your first answer, Whole Again, went down to 31.
0:40:47 > 0:40:51Your second answer, Round Round, went down to eight.
0:40:51 > 0:40:54Your third and final answer passes eight.
0:40:54 > 0:40:56Down it goes, down, down...
0:40:56 > 0:40:57Oh, one! One!
0:41:02 > 0:41:03Oh, that is so unfair!
0:41:04 > 0:41:06That is unfair!
0:41:08 > 0:41:11What I mean is it's fair but I mean, that's really harsh.
0:41:12 > 0:41:14Oh! One person knew Overload.
0:41:15 > 0:41:17It was Sean. Yeah. LAUGHTER
0:41:18 > 0:41:22Impressive, though, Sean. That's a brilliant answer.
0:41:22 > 0:41:27A fantastic score. Sadly it's only those pointless scores we're interested in,
0:41:27 > 0:41:29which means you don't win today's jackpot of ?2,000.
0:41:29 > 0:41:31That will roll over onto the next show
0:41:31 > 0:41:33but we've really enjoyed both shows you've been on.
0:41:33 > 0:41:36And you do get to take home our Pointless trophy, so there you are. Well done.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39Excellent. Thank you.
0:41:45 > 0:41:47Yeah, you played terrifically today, guys.
0:41:47 > 0:41:49Sean, that couldn't have gone worse for you in a way
0:41:49 > 0:41:53because you've shown everybody in Britain that you've got a detailed knowledge of Sugababes
0:41:53 > 0:41:56and you still haven't won the money.
0:41:56 > 0:41:58Let's take a look at the pointless answers
0:41:58 > 0:42:02because I know people will be shouting things out at the screen.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04These were top ten singles for Atomic Kitten.
0:42:04 > 0:42:05They're all pointless answers:
0:42:08 > 0:42:11You could also have had Cradle, Follow Me or Someone Like Me.
0:42:11 > 0:42:12All of those were pointless answers.
0:42:12 > 0:42:16For The Saturdays, Missing You - that's a top ten single.
0:42:16 > 0:42:19My Heart Takes Over and another top ten big hit with Notorious.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22Those were pointless answers. Well done if you said those.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25And Sugababes top 40.
0:42:25 > 0:42:26About A Girl was a pointless answer.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28Easy was a pointless answer.
0:42:28 > 0:42:31Run For Cover and Wear My Kiss - all pointless.
0:42:31 > 0:42:34Very well done to anyone who got any of those at home
0:42:34 > 0:42:37and tough luck in the studio but a valiant effort.
0:42:37 > 0:42:40Well, I'm really sorry. You came so close to winning the jackpot
0:42:40 > 0:42:42but I'm afraid, just one score away, I'm afraid.
0:42:42 > 0:42:45We have to say goodbye to you. We've loved having you on the show.
0:42:45 > 0:42:48Thank you for playing. Great contestants. Pete and Sean.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51Thank you. APPLAUSE
0:42:51 > 0:42:55Well, sadly, Pete and Sean didn't win our jackpot which means it rolls over onto the next show
0:42:55 > 0:42:57when we will be playing for ?3,000.
0:42:57 > 0:43:01CHEERING Join us next time to see if someone can win it.
0:43:01 > 0:43:05It's goodbye from Richard. Goodbye. And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
