0:00:16 > 0:00:19APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:00:24 > 0:00:28Thank you very much. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong. Welcome to Pointless,
0:00:28 > 0:00:31the quiz show where questions have been put to 100 people before the show
0:00:31 > 0:00:35and our contestants have to come up with answers those 100 people couldn't think of.
0:00:35 > 0:00:36Let's meet today's players.
0:00:40 > 0:00:41And couple number one.
0:00:41 > 0:00:45Hi, I'm Jake. This is my friend Ollie and we're from south-west London.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Couple number two. Hello, I'm Jayne. I'm from Nottingham.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51This is Kassim, my husband. He's from Malaysia.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55Couple number three. Hi, I'm Beth. This is my friend Sian and we're from Sheffield.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57And finally, couple number four.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59Hi. I'm Lynn. I'm from Bournemouth.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01This is my son, Ben. He's from London.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03And these are today's contestants.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Thanks, all of you. We'll find out more about you during the show as it goes along.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11That leaves one more person to introduce.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14He's so clever, he can do the Times crossword in ten minutes,
0:01:14 > 0:01:16and without even using a pen.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18My pointless friend, Richard.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Hiya! Hi, everyone!
0:01:23 > 0:01:26How are you today? I'm very well, thanks, Richard. Excellent.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29Should be a lovely show today. We've only got Sian and Beth from the last show.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32They got through to the head-to-head. They were pretty good.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34So we've got three new pairs today.
0:01:34 > 0:01:39We chatted to them earlier. They seem lovely. Yes, they SEEM very nice.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41Do you think they may turn? I don't know!
0:01:41 > 0:01:44No, I have high hopes for each and every one of them.
0:01:44 > 0:01:49Yes, I think on the whole, they're great. We've got a lovely couple of first rounds, as well.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53Something for everybody. A couple of first rounds? Oh, no. This is fun!
0:01:55 > 0:01:58I guess what I mean is the first two rounds!
0:01:58 > 0:02:02OK. Thanks very much. All our questions have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06Our contestants need to find the obscure answers those 100 people didn't get.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10Everyone's trying to find a pointless answer, one that none of our 100 people gave.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Each time that happens, we will add ?250 to the jackpot.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17Pete and Sean didn't win the jackpot last time, so we add another ?1,000 to that.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20So today's jackpot starts off at ?3,000.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Right. If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless!
0:02:30 > 0:02:32In this first round, I'll take an answer from each of you,
0:02:32 > 0:02:34but there is to be no conferring.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37Whoever has the highest score at the end of the round will be heading home.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41OK. Our first category today is Words.
0:02:41 > 0:02:46Words. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going first and who's going second.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Let's see what the question is. Here it comes.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:03:00 > 0:03:02..as they could. Words ending in ..nel. Richard?
0:03:02 > 0:03:07It's a tricky one, that. Any word that has its own entry in the Oxford Dictionary of English
0:03:07 > 0:03:08that ends ..nel, please.
0:03:08 > 0:03:13As always, no hyphenated words, no trade marks, no proper nouns or anything like that.
0:03:13 > 0:03:18Any word that has its own entry in the Oxford Dictionary of English that ends ..nel.
0:03:18 > 0:03:19Best of luck to everybody.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23Thanks very much indeed. Jake and Ollie, you drew lots before the show
0:03:23 > 0:03:25and today you go first.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Ollie, I saw you take some deep breaths when a words round came up
0:03:28 > 0:03:31and now you've gone first. Tell me your logic there.
0:03:31 > 0:03:36We thought if I go first, I could get an average answer,
0:03:36 > 0:03:38and then Jake can get maybe a lower answer,
0:03:38 > 0:03:40and together we can still somehow get through.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43I think that works. That stands up. Ollie, what do you do?
0:03:43 > 0:03:46I'm at Bournemouth University studying Television Production.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49Are you? How do you find it? How's it going?
0:03:49 > 0:03:52It's really amazing. I really like it. It's all going well. Enjoying it.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Yep. Haven't been put off the industry?
0:03:54 > 0:03:58No, the money's putting me off uni, but the industry is great.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01You think it's better in the industry, you're saying?
0:04:01 > 0:04:03This is true. This is true.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07Now, Ollie, we're looking for words ending in ..nel.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09I think I've got one. You've got one.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12But audience, don't laugh,
0:04:12 > 0:04:15it could be... It couldn't be great, but I'll go for kernel.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18How are you spelling that, as a matter of interest?
0:04:18 > 0:04:22Wow. K-E-R-N-E-L.
0:04:22 > 0:04:23Kernel. K-E-R-N-E-L.
0:04:23 > 0:04:28OK. Let's see if that's right. If it is, how many people said kernel.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31It's right.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39Look at that. 16, Ollie, that's a great answer. Very well done.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41And you didn't have much time to think of it.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46Well played, Ollie. That's a relief, isn't it? Such a relief, I tell you!
0:04:46 > 0:04:48The edible part of a nut, a kernel.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Thank you very much indeed.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Jayne, welcome to the show. What do you do, Jayne?
0:04:53 > 0:04:56I'm a full-time PhD student, mature student.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58What's your PhD in? Criminology.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02Oh, that's fun. E-fencing, which is the sale of stolen goods online.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06Wow! So you find ways of tracking stuff down? Exactly. That's what I'm trying to do.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10OK. Now, a word ending ..nel.
0:05:10 > 0:05:16I'm going to try spinnel, which I think is a semi-precious stone.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19Spinnel. Spinnel, says Jayne.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22Let's see if that's right, and if so, how many of our 100 people said spinnel.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25It's right.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33It's a great answer! Look at that! Two, Jayne. Very well done.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Two for spinnel.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40That's a terrific answer. Very well played.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44There's a spinnel, the Timor Ruby, that's in the Crown Jewels.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Thank you. Now, Sian.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Hiya. Welcome back. Sian, remind us what you're doing.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Physics, Chemistry and Biology A-levels.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56What are you hoping to do? Are you going to take a year out, or go straight to university?
0:05:56 > 0:06:00Taking a year out and hopefully going travelling maybe.
0:06:00 > 0:06:06Do you know where you might go? We're thinking round Europe, or if we can save enough money, Peru.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Machu Picchu. Nice. Well, get on and win that jackpot.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12Yeah. 3,000 quid would help, wouldn't it? Yeah.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15OK. Now, words ending ..nel.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18I'm thinking of one, but I'm not sure if it's slang.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21Slang might be allowed. Some slang words are in the dictionary.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23It's not filthy, is it?
0:06:23 > 0:06:25No! Good. Good.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Filthy words ending in ..nel?
0:06:28 > 0:06:31No, just filthy words. There might be words that I haven't heard of!
0:06:31 > 0:06:34I don't really know filthy words.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36I don't know if it's a word my mum's made up.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39I don't know whether to go for it.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Flannel. Flannel?
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Yeah. You wash your face with a flannel.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Is that the word you thought was slang?
0:06:45 > 0:06:48I don't know. I've never heard anyone else use it in legit words.
0:06:48 > 0:06:53Well, I guess you don't share a bathroom with that many other people.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57So, you know. Flannel. I think it sounds pretty good. Let's see if it's right.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00How many people said flannel?
0:07:01 > 0:07:04It's a great answer, Sian. Very well done.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11There you are. 26 is your reward for it.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Well done, Sian, that's...
0:07:15 > 0:07:17It's a real word! And then some, yeah!
0:07:17 > 0:07:20Yeah. That really is a proper word. Mm.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24It hasn't just got its own entry in the Oxford Dictionary of English, it's got a whole page!
0:07:24 > 0:07:26With a picture of your mum!
0:07:29 > 0:07:33Thanks very much. Lynn, welcome to Pointless. Lovely to have you here.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Thank you. Up from Bournemouth. Yes. What do you do in Bournemouth, Lyn?
0:07:36 > 0:07:38I'm retired, now. What did you do?
0:07:38 > 0:07:40I used to work in a pet shop.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42What was the most exotic pet you sold?
0:07:42 > 0:07:45We didn't actually sell pets. Hang on, hang on!
0:07:45 > 0:07:47So it was a front?
0:07:51 > 0:07:56It was leads and collars and medicine and blankets and food and...
0:07:56 > 0:07:59I see. So pet accessories. Supplies. Pet supplies.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Like a flannel for a rabbit.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05They do flannels for rabbits! Do you know what I saw in a pet shop the other day?
0:08:05 > 0:08:10They sell wood shavings for hamster cages, lavender scented!
0:08:10 > 0:08:13Yes, strawberry scented. Strawberry scented? Yep.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16It's going to smell of hamster wee in 24 hours!
0:08:16 > 0:08:19No, hamster wee and strawberry. Mmm!
0:08:19 > 0:08:22It's a herbal tea I have, as well.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26That, essentially, is what herbal tea is, isn't it?
0:08:26 > 0:08:30Um, Lynn. A word ending ..nel.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33I think it's a word.
0:08:34 > 0:08:40I'm going to say gunnel, G-U-N-N-E-L. Gunnel.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many of our 100 people said gunnel.
0:08:46 > 0:08:47Absolutely right.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Very well done.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Well played. Gunnels on a boat.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04More normally spelt G-U-N-W-A-L-E.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06But gunnel is a variant spelling of it.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Thanks. We're halfway through the round. Let's look at the scores.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13Jayne, two points. Very well done.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16Then up to 12, Lynn and Ben.
0:09:16 > 0:09:17Up to 16, where we find Ollie and Jake.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21Up to 26 where we find Sian and Beth.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24So Beth, get thinking of a really good low-scoring word.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28Best of luck. Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:09:31 > 0:09:34OK. We are looking for words ending in ..nel.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36Ben, welcome to the show. What do you do?
0:09:36 > 0:09:39I'm a video game PR person.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42That's fun. I know. It's good!
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Have you grown up loving video games all your life?
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Yeah, I've been doing it for about 12 years now.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49So I'm a giant nerd, basically.
0:09:49 > 0:09:54OK. Words ending ..nel. You're on 12. The high scorers on 26 are Beth and Sian.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56So if you can score 13 or less,
0:09:56 > 0:09:58you'll avoid becoming the new high scorers.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02I've got one that I'm really not sure of.
0:10:02 > 0:10:07But it could be pointless. But I don't want to risk it, so I'll go with funnel. Funnel.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09OK. Funnel, says Ben.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13Here's your red line. Get below that, you're definitely in the next round.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Let's see how many of our 100 said funnel.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18It's right.
0:10:23 > 0:10:2458.
0:10:27 > 0:10:2858 takes your total up to 70.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31Funnel. It's essentially a fun flannel.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36Yeah. I don't think there's a flannel has yet been made that wasn't fun!
0:10:37 > 0:10:40There is some truth in that. I'm going to come out and say that.
0:10:40 > 0:10:45Now, Beth. If you can score 43 or less, you're in the next round.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Now, Beth, remind us what you do.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50I'm an A-level student. And your A-levels are?
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Maths, Physics and Geography.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54How do you feel about words ending ..nel?
0:10:54 > 0:10:58I thought it was quite difficult, because it's quite an unusual word ending.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00So I'm not sure.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03But I think I'm going to go for fennel.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05Fennel, says Beth.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09Sounds good to me. Let's see how many of our 100 people said fennel.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13It's right.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Absolutely right, and you're through.
0:11:18 > 0:11:2028.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23And 54 your total.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27Well played, Beth. Safely through. That's an East Anglian flannel.
0:11:31 > 0:11:32Now, then, Kassim.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36Hi. Kassim, welcome to the show. What do you do, Kassim?
0:11:36 > 0:11:40I'm a senior lecturer at the University of Derby.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43And what do you lecture in?
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Criminology. Oh, I see! There we are.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47Is that how you and Jayne met?
0:11:47 > 0:11:48No. No.
0:11:48 > 0:11:54We were pen-pals, and then...we got married!
0:11:54 > 0:11:56You got married. Yeah.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59Where were you then? I was in Malaysia. I was a customs officer.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02Good stuff. And here you are on Pointless, the next natural step.
0:12:02 > 0:12:07You are on two. A lovely low score from Jayne in the first pass.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10The high scorers on 70 are Ben and Lynn.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13What we need from you is a score of 67 or less.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15That will get you through to the next round.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18I'm not very good with words.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21I'll go with personnel.
0:12:21 > 0:12:26Personnel. Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said it. There's your red line.
0:12:26 > 0:12:27Below that, you're in the next round.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Very well done. You're through.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Seven for personnel.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Takes your total up to nine. Wonderful low total.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46That's a terrific answer. Well played. Personnel.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48What's the Malay word for flannel?
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Duele. Duele. D-U-E-L-E.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Duele. See? Everyone's got a word for it!
0:12:57 > 0:12:58Now, Jake.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01Jake, welcome to the show.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04Thank you. What do you do, Jake? I'm in a gap year at the moment.
0:13:04 > 0:13:05I'm starting uni in September.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08What a great thing to do with your gap year! Come on Pointless!
0:13:09 > 0:13:11What else have you done with it?
0:13:11 > 0:13:14I have worked, and I'm planning travel for the summer.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17OK. That all sounds good. What are you going to study at university?
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Politics and Modern History joint.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21Sadly, you're not studying words ending in ..nel.
0:13:21 > 0:13:26That's a shame. However, the high scorers, Ben and Lynn on 70.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28All you have to score is 53 or less.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Basically, I've got two safe ones,
0:13:30 > 0:13:34and I've got one which I think will probably be quite low.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37Panel and tunnel are obvious ones.
0:13:37 > 0:13:42And then colonel. And I'm going to be brave and go with colonel.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44OK. Let's see. You're going for colonel.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48There's your red line. Get below that with colonel and you are through.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51Let's see how many of our 100 people said colonel.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Yep, you've done it. Very well done.
0:14:01 > 0:14:0424, taking your total up to 40. Very well done indeed.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08That might be the first time in Pointless history
0:14:08 > 0:14:11that two team-mates have given exactly the same answer! Great!
0:14:11 > 0:14:14Seems to work. Very different spellings and meanings. Absolutely.
0:14:14 > 0:14:19And how was your thinking? Got an answer? My safe one would be sentinel. Sentinel.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23Sentinel would have scored you 16 points. Yeah.
0:14:23 > 0:14:28I'm desperately trying to think of a "rechannel" or "sidechannel".
0:14:28 > 0:14:33Let's look at the pointless answers. The first one would be up your street,
0:14:33 > 0:14:35because the first one is backchannel.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37Cracknel is a pointless answer.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40You could have had inconel, a nickel alloy.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44You could have had mangonel, which is a type of catapult,
0:14:44 > 0:14:46like a siege engine.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49Microkernel, which is a tiny soldier!
0:14:49 > 0:14:52You could have had... LAUGHTER
0:14:52 > 0:14:55You could have multichannel. There you are. Another good one.
0:14:55 > 0:14:59A few more. Polytunnel. Brilliant.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02It's something they sell in Lynn's pet shop. The parrots love it!
0:15:03 > 0:15:06You could have had spignel, which is a type of parsley,
0:15:06 > 0:15:10or vennel, which is one of the many words we have for a narrow lane
0:15:10 > 0:15:12between two houses. A vennel.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14What were the big scorers?
0:15:14 > 0:15:18These are the ones that most of our 100 people said.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25That's the second-highest scorer.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28And right at the top was tunnel with 66.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30There are some nice other answers here.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Shrapnel would have scored seven.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36You could also have had pimpernel, for four.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38Pimpernel is a nice world
0:15:38 > 0:15:40Thank you very much.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44So at the end of our first round, the pair heading home with their high score of 70 are Ben and Lynn.
0:15:44 > 0:15:49I'm so sorry. Two perfectly good answers. But funnel, what a punishing score that was!
0:15:49 > 0:15:51Never mind. 58 for funnel.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54I'm sorry we have to say goodbye so soon, but we'll see you again next time.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58We look forward to it. Thank you. Thanks so much, Ben and Lynn.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03But for the remaining three pairs, it's time for Round Two.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11And so, now there's only three pairs here,
0:16:11 > 0:16:14and at the end of this round, we'll be sending another pair home.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18Kassim and Jayne, very well played. Lovely low single-figure score.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21A total of nine, there. Very impressive indeed.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Jake and Ollie, two "kernels". Very good work.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27Sian and Beth, our only returning pair,
0:16:27 > 0:16:29the highest scorers of our remaining pairs.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33Time to pull your socks up. Let's hope we see you in the head-to-head.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37Best of luck to all three pairs. Our category for Round Two is Pop Music.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41Pop music. Can you decide in your pairs who's going first and who's going second.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49OK. The question concerns...
0:16:51 > 0:16:53Musical trios. Richard?
0:16:53 > 0:16:55On each pass, we'll show you a list of names
0:16:55 > 0:16:58and each of those names are linked by a musical trio.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01Can you tell us which musical trio they were part of, please?
0:17:01 > 0:17:04There'll be six on each pass, 12 in all to have a go at at home.
0:17:04 > 0:17:09OK. Thanks very much. We're looking for the names of these famous musical trios.
0:17:09 > 0:17:10Here's our first board.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31I'll read those all one last time.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51Six musical trios.
0:17:51 > 0:17:55Jake. Which is the lowest-scoring one there you can see?
0:17:57 > 0:17:59I only know two.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03I'm going to say The Police
0:18:03 > 0:18:06for Stewart Copeland, Sting and Andy Summers.
0:18:06 > 0:18:10The Police, says Jake. Is it right, and if so, how many of our 100 people said The Police?
0:18:11 > 0:18:13It is, of course, The Police.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16Quite a high score. 74, there, Jake.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23Yes, five number one singles for The Police in the UK.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25Only five? A big scorer. Yeah, only five.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Now, Kassim.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Is this a terrible question for you?
0:18:31 > 0:18:32Yes, it is!
0:18:33 > 0:18:38I don't know. Beyonce Knowles, Sugababes?
0:18:39 > 0:18:43You say The Sugababes for Beyonce Knowles, Kelly Rowland, Michelle Williams.
0:18:43 > 0:18:44Let's see if Sugababes is right,
0:18:44 > 0:18:47and if it is, how many people said Sugababes.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51No, bad luck. I'm sorry, Kassim.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55A tough board, and a tough round if you don't know your pop trios.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59An incorrect answer scores you the maximum of 100 points. Sorry.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03Sorry, Kassim. They're actually the only three women in the world who haven't been in the Sugababes!
0:19:05 > 0:19:08Thanks very much. Now, Sian.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11The board is all yours. Talk us through it and fill in the blanks.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13I was absolutely sweating it, then, thinking he knew that.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15Cos that was the only one I know!
0:19:15 > 0:19:20I don't know any of them apart from Beyonce, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23Destiny's Child.
0:19:23 > 0:19:24Destiny's Child, says Sian.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27Is that right? If it is, how many people said Destiny's Child?
0:19:30 > 0:19:32Absolutely right.
0:19:37 > 0:19:3932. That's a low score.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44Well done, Sian. I thought because we had all these young people on,
0:19:44 > 0:19:48they'd know the cool one on the board. Mm, I'm now quite worried.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51You guys don't know the Yeah Yeah Yeahs? I do!
0:19:51 > 0:19:54Brian Chase, Karen O, Nick Zinner.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Yeah Yeah Yeahs would have scored one point. A terrific answer.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00Why did I not go first? Beth knew it. Beth knew it.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03There'll be a cool one on the next board, I'm sure.
0:20:03 > 0:20:04Well done if you got that at home.
0:20:04 > 0:20:09Billy Gibbons, Dusty Hill, Frank Beard? ZZ Top. ZZ Top, yeah.
0:20:09 > 0:20:10Scored 12 points.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas, and the rest!
0:20:13 > 0:20:15TLC. It is TLC.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Scored seven points. And the bottom one?
0:20:17 > 0:20:19Is Cream. Cream, yes.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21That would have scored 35.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23So the best answer there, Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Thanks, Richard.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26We're halfway through the round. Let's look at those scores.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29Beth, you couldn't give that brilliant low answer that round,
0:20:29 > 0:20:32but you're still the low scorers on 32. Very well done, Sian.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Up to 74 where we find Jake and Ollie.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Then up to 100 where we find Kassim and Jayne.
0:20:37 > 0:20:42Jayne, we need a low score if you're going to stay beyond the end of this round.
0:20:42 > 0:20:47I think it's 200 Club! Best of luck. Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:20:50 > 0:20:54We'll put six more trios up on the board. Here they are.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14I'll read those all one last time.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32We're looking for the famous trios
0:21:32 > 0:21:34in which these musicians played.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37Beth, try and find the lowest-scoring one you know on that board.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39Is that a good board for you as well?
0:21:39 > 0:21:43It's OK. I know quite a few. I'm not sure which will be the lowest.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46The high scorers are Jayne and Kassim on 100.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50If you can score 67 or less, you won't even be the new high scorers.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Right. OK.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57I'm going to go for Charlie Simpson, James Bourne and Matt Willis.
0:21:57 > 0:22:01They're in Busted. Busted, says Beth. Here is your red line.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03If you get below that, you're through to the next round.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Let's see how many of our 100 people said Busted.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09It's right.
0:22:09 > 0:22:10And you're through. Very well done.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Look at that! What a great answer. Nine.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18Takes your total up to 41.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23Well played, Beth. Not as cool as Yeah Yeah Yeahs,
0:22:23 > 0:22:27but another good answer. I love Busted. They're great. They are.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30Now, Jayne. How is this board for you?
0:22:30 > 0:22:31Surely there's one you might know?
0:22:31 > 0:22:34I think I know a couple of really obvious ones.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37I'm pretty sure they'll score fairly highly.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39I'll go for the bottom one.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41Krist - I don't know how to pronounce it -
0:22:41 > 0:22:43Novoselic, Kurt Cobain, David Grohl.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47I think that's Nirvana. Nirvana, says Jayne. Nirvana.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49You're the high scorers, so there's no red line for you.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52Let's see how far down the column you get with Nirvana.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55It's right.
0:23:00 > 0:23:0442. Not bad. Takes your total up to 142.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07Well played, Jayne. You've given yourself a chance there. Nirvana.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10Absolutely right. Dave Grohl now in Foo Fighters.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13Thanks very much. Now, Ollie,
0:23:13 > 0:23:16this board is... Oh, no? No!
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Oh, Ollie, this is terrible!
0:23:18 > 0:23:20I don't like to admit it, but I actually knew Busted.
0:23:20 > 0:23:25And all my uni friends will rinse me for that, but it's the only one I knew!
0:23:25 > 0:23:28There's nothing wrong with Busted! There is, though, at the end of the day!
0:23:28 > 0:23:30There's quite a few things wrong with Busted!
0:23:32 > 0:23:35Now, Ollie, what were the names of these bands?
0:23:35 > 0:23:39Problem is, I know that there's probably two there that everyone in the audience
0:23:39 > 0:23:42Are like, "Come on, you must know that." And I honestly don't.
0:23:42 > 0:23:4667 or less gets you in the head-to-head, Ollie.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49I'm trying to make up a band name that sounds plausible.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52I can't even do that! I'll tell you a good name - Colonel Kernel!
0:23:54 > 0:23:58I'm mean really... Not a bad name. Not a bad name at all!
0:23:58 > 0:24:02Do you play instruments? I play a bit of drums. OK, you're away.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05OK, Ollie, let's have an answer, then.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07OK.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09I'm going to go for...
0:24:09 > 0:24:12The Gibsons, for the three brothers.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Yeah.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16The Gibsons. OK, The Gibsons.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18You never know! You do never know, really.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20No, we...
0:24:21 > 0:24:23Occasionally, you do know.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25Occasionally, you do know. True.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28So for the Brothers Gibb, you're saying The Gibsons.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30Let's see if that's right. There's your red line.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32Let's see how many people said The Gibsons.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Bad luck!
0:24:36 > 0:24:37Bad luck, Ollie.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39Sorry.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41Scores the maximum of 100 points.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43An incorrect answer. Takes your total to 174.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46Sorry, Ollie, I felt your pain there. I really did.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49And it's a band you will have heard of, as well.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51The Gibbs, it's the Bee Gees.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54Oh, man! That's a sensible thing.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56I technically should have thought of that.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59Would have scored 89 points, though, and still seen you knocked out.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01So it don't matter!
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Only because everybody in the world knows it, that's...
0:25:08 > 0:25:10Another band that probably in their day would have scored 89,
0:25:10 > 0:25:13but score fewer now. Bruce Foxton, Paul Weller, Rick Buckler.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16The Jam. Yep, scores 27 points.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Now, Dan Andriano, Matt Skiba and Derek Grant,
0:25:19 > 0:25:22very well done to anyone who said Alkaline Trio.
0:25:22 > 0:25:23Very good answer.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26And this other one is a pointless answer. I didn't think it would be.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29Yeah, Run-D.M.C. Absolutely. Yeah.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33Well done if you said that at home. Pointless answer. There we are.
0:25:33 > 0:25:34Thanks very much, Richard.
0:25:34 > 0:25:40Jake and Ollie, a valiant attempt, but it was a tough board, that.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43The Jam. Might you have ever guessed that? No.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45I'm being honest with you!
0:25:45 > 0:25:48OK. Fair enough. See you again next time, Ollie and Jake.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51Look forward to that. Thanks very much for playing, Ollie and Jake!
0:25:53 > 0:25:56For the remaining two pairs, it's time for the head-to-head.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Congratulations, Sian and Beth, Kassim and Jayne.
0:26:05 > 0:26:11You're one step closer to the final and a chance to play for our jackpot, which stands at ?3,000.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17We have to decide who's going to play for that money, so you'll go head-to-head.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20The big difference is, you're now allowed to confer.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23The first pair to win two questions will play for that money.
0:26:23 > 0:26:28I think this will be a very close third round. Best of luck. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36Here's your first question. It concerns...
0:26:39 > 0:26:44Trains in films. We'll show you five pictures now
0:26:44 > 0:26:47from films which feature films set on trains.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49Can you tell us the names of the films, please.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53OK. Let's reveal our five trains in films. Here they are. We have got...
0:27:17 > 0:27:21There we are. Five trains in five different films.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24Sian and Beth, you've played best so far, so you get to go first.
0:27:34 > 0:27:38If E is who I think it is, I think it's Jake Gyllenhaal in Source Code.
0:27:38 > 0:27:43Source Code. E, Source Code.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45Now, Kassim and Jayne,
0:27:45 > 0:27:48the board is yours. Talk us through those films, if you can.
0:27:48 > 0:27:52Right. We think we know two of the others for sure.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54Well, we know The Beatles!
0:27:54 > 0:27:56But we can't remember the name of the film.
0:27:56 > 0:28:00We know that A is, I think, Murder on the Orient Express,
0:28:00 > 0:28:03but we'll go for C, which we think is Polar Express.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05Polar Express for C.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07So, Sian and Beth say Source Code. Is that right,
0:28:07 > 0:28:10and how many people said Source Code?
0:28:12 > 0:28:13It's right.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19That's a great answer! There we are. Nine!
0:28:19 > 0:28:22Very well done, Sian and Beth.
0:28:23 > 0:28:24Nine for Source Code.
0:28:24 > 0:28:30Now, Kassim and Jayne are saying Polar Express for C.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32Is that right? How many people said that?
0:28:34 > 0:28:36It's right.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38But nine it has to beat.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45Good answer, but it doesn't beat Sian and Beth's excellent answer,
0:28:45 > 0:28:48so, Sian and Beth, after one question you're up one-nil.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50Source Code, excellent answer, excellent film.
0:28:50 > 0:28:54Have you seen it? No. Duncan Jones directed it.
0:28:54 > 0:28:58A is Murder on the Orient Express, but would have scored 41 points.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00Albert Finney as Hercules Poirot.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02The Beatles film is Hard Day's Night.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05That would have scored you 22.
0:29:05 > 0:29:071964. Looking very young there.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10And D is... The Lady Vanishes. Yep.
0:29:10 > 0:29:14Hitchcock's Lady Vanishes. Six points for that.
0:29:14 > 0:29:17Thanks very much indeed. Here's your second question.
0:29:17 > 0:29:21Kassim and Jayne, you go first, but you need to win this to stay in the game. Best of luck.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23It concerns...
0:29:25 > 0:29:27Vatican City State. Richard?
0:29:27 > 0:29:31Going to show you five clues about Vatican City. Give us the most obscure answer.
0:29:31 > 0:29:35Thanks very much. Let's reveal our five clues. Here they are.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55I'll read those all one last time.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15Kassim and Jayne, you go first this time.
0:30:22 > 0:30:26I think we're going for the river.
0:30:26 > 0:30:28It is... The Tiber.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31The Tiber say Kassim and Jayne. The Tiber.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34Sian and Beth, do you want to talk us through that board?
0:30:34 > 0:30:36Well, we knew the Tiber.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38Obviously the country is Italy.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41And the chapel is the Sistine Chapel.
0:30:41 > 0:30:43We could try and guess another one.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46I think we should just go for the Sistine Chapel.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48I think I should know the treaty. It's really annoying me.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50Can you think of it? No.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53Go for chapel. The chapel is the Sistine Chapel.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56The Sistine Chapel say Sian and Beth. Sistine Chapel.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58So we have the Tiber versus the Sistine Chapel.
0:30:58 > 0:31:03Let's see if the Tiber is right from Kassim and Jayne. Let's see how many people said that.
0:31:04 > 0:31:05Absolutely right.
0:31:13 > 0:31:1519 for the Tiber.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17Sian and Beth have said the Sistine Chapel.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20Is it right, and if so, how many people said that?
0:31:22 > 0:31:23It's right.
0:31:31 > 0:31:3337 for the Sistine Chapel.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36Which means Kassim and Jayne are back in the game.
0:31:36 > 0:31:37After two questions it's one all.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40Well played, Kassim and Jayne. It's a good head-to-head.
0:31:40 > 0:31:41Let's look at the rest of the answers.
0:31:41 > 0:31:46The country is Italy, but that would have scored you 81 points.
0:31:46 > 0:31:51The name of the treaty. I hope you don't recognise it. It's the Lateran Treaty.
0:31:51 > 0:31:54It scored seven points, so would have been a terrific answer.
0:31:54 > 0:31:59And the daily newspaper is L'Osservatore Romano.
0:31:59 > 0:32:03The Roman Observer. Would have scored two points. The best answer up there.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06Thanks very much. OK. So here comes the decider.
0:32:06 > 0:32:11Your third and final question. Whoever wins this goes through to the final to play for the jackpot.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13Best of luck. It concerns...
0:32:17 > 0:32:19Corps and regiments of the British army. Richard?
0:32:19 > 0:32:22We'll show you five names of corps or regiments of the British army,
0:32:22 > 0:32:24but we've removed alternate letters.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27Can you replace those and give us the most obscure answer. Best of luck.
0:32:27 > 0:32:32Thanks very much indeed. Let's reveal our five corps or regiments. Here they are.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00I'll read those all again without the blanks.
0:33:15 > 0:33:16There we are. Now, then.
0:33:16 > 0:33:20Sian and Beth, you go first this time.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26We're going to go for the second one up.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29It looks right.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31Corps of Royal Engineers.
0:33:31 > 0:33:35The Corps of Royal Engineers, say Sian and Beth.
0:33:35 > 0:33:39Corps of Royal Engineers. Kassim and Jayne.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41Which one do you want to go for?
0:33:41 > 0:33:43It's a tough one.
0:33:43 > 0:33:48I think the first one. I think the first one is the Intelligence Corps.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51The last one is the Infantry.
0:33:51 > 0:33:55But I think we're going to go for the third one, which is the Brigade of Gurkhas.
0:33:55 > 0:34:00The Brigade of Gurkhas. Brigade of Gurkhas say Kassim and Jayne.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03So we have the Corps of Royal Engineers from Sian and Beth.
0:34:03 > 0:34:07Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many of our 100 people said that.
0:34:09 > 0:34:10It's right.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17It's a good answer. Look at that. 11. Very well done.
0:34:22 > 0:34:23Good answer, Sian and Beth.
0:34:23 > 0:34:29Kassim and Jayne say the Brigade of Gurkhas. Is it right, and if so, how many people said that?
0:34:32 > 0:34:33It is right.
0:34:34 > 0:34:3611 is what it's got to beat.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40And it does! Look at that - four.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43Very well done, Kassim and Jayne. Brigade of Gurkhas wins it for you.
0:34:46 > 0:34:51Which means, Kassim and Jayne, after three questions you're through to the final two-one. Well done.
0:34:51 > 0:34:55Well played, Kassim and Jayne. You could tell that was a good answer cos the audience went, "Ooh!",
0:34:55 > 0:34:57when you said it. You know it's good when they do that.
0:34:57 > 0:34:59Corps of Royal Engineers was a good answer as well.
0:34:59 > 0:35:01Infantry, down the bottom.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04Too big a score, though. 46 points.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06You were right about the Intelligence Corps.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08That scored 14.
0:35:08 > 0:35:09I was trying to work out this next one.
0:35:09 > 0:35:11There's three words you can work out fairly easily.
0:35:11 > 0:35:14"Royal" you can work out. "Army" you can work out.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16And "corps" at the end.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19The only thing I could think that fitted was Royal Army Dental Corps.
0:35:19 > 0:35:22That's the only thing I had. And that's the right answer!
0:35:22 > 0:35:24That is a pointless answer.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26The Royal Army Dental Corps!
0:35:26 > 0:35:27Wow!
0:35:27 > 0:35:29What about that!
0:35:29 > 0:35:32Thanks very much indeed. So the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head,
0:35:32 > 0:35:35you've done so well in both shows, Sian and Beth.
0:35:35 > 0:35:36I'm sorry we have to say goodbye.
0:35:36 > 0:35:41You came up against Kassim and Jayne who whipped it out from under your noses there with the Gurkhas.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44Very well done. It's been lovely having you on both shows.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47Thanks very much for playing, Sian and Beth.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52But for Kassim and Jayne, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00Well, Kassim and Jayne, many congratulations.
0:36:00 > 0:36:05You've seen off the competition and won our coveted Pointless trophy. Very well done.
0:36:11 > 0:36:16You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot. At the end of today's show it stands at ?3,000.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24Well, you've come, you've seen and you've conquered.
0:36:24 > 0:36:27Fantastic. What would you like to see come up in this last round?
0:36:27 > 0:36:29Hmm. Something about Malaysia?
0:36:33 > 0:36:36As always, you start this round off by choosing a category.
0:36:36 > 0:36:38Here are your four options.
0:36:46 > 0:36:48Wow.
0:36:48 > 0:36:50What do you think German sport might be?
0:36:50 > 0:36:53I don't know. German sport.
0:36:53 > 0:36:57Irish Geography, I don't know about that. Right.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59Rock Punk, forget it.
0:36:59 > 0:37:03So we're just left with British Politics. What do you think?
0:37:03 > 0:37:05British Politics, then, yes.
0:37:05 > 0:37:09It's got to be British Politics. Not a favourite, but we'll go for it.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11OK. British Politics it is. Richard?
0:37:11 > 0:37:15Here are your three categories. They're all about people who've held particular offices
0:37:15 > 0:37:18for a particular length of time.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21So we're looking for anybody who has been...
0:37:30 > 0:37:33Or anybody who's held any of the great offices of state -
0:37:33 > 0:37:35Chancellor, Home Secretary and Foreign Secretary.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38Any of those offices for six or more years.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41We're looking for continuous terms in those posts.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43So not if someone's done it for three years, then four years.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46It has to be a continuous term for all of those categories.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48Very best of luck.
0:37:48 > 0:37:52OK. As always, you have up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:52 > 0:37:56To win the jackpot of ?3,000, just one of those answers has to be pointless.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59Remember, the answers you give can come from any of these categories.
0:37:59 > 0:38:03It can be one from each, two from one, one from another. It's entirely up to you.
0:38:03 > 0:38:05OK. Are you ready?
0:38:05 > 0:38:06Are you ready? Yes.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08OK. Let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10Your time starts now.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13CONFER QUIETLY
0:38:15 > 0:38:17Any leaders?
0:38:17 > 0:38:20How about holder of a great office of state?
0:38:20 > 0:38:23Who did the Welfare Bill?
0:38:24 > 0:38:26Welfare. Welfare...
0:38:26 > 0:38:29My mind's going blank now. National health.
0:38:37 > 0:38:39Let's go David Lloyd George. OK.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42Let's go for somebody like Anthony Eden. OK.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44Let's go, um...
0:38:45 > 0:38:47Anthony Eden. Lloyd George.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53Michael Portillo. Michael Portillo, OK.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56Right. OK. Are you happy with those? Yes.
0:38:56 > 0:38:58So we'll stop the clock there.
0:38:58 > 0:39:00OK. Let's have your three answers.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02We've got to allocate them.
0:39:02 > 0:39:05So we're going for holders of a great office of state for six or more years,
0:39:05 > 0:39:08we'll go Anthony Eden.
0:39:08 > 0:39:15Anthony Eden. Leader of the Conservative or Labour Party, David Lloyd George. David Lloyd George.
0:39:15 > 0:39:19David Lloyd George. And another holder of a great office of state,
0:39:19 > 0:39:22Michael Portillo. Michael Portillo.
0:39:22 > 0:39:23Holder of a great office of state.
0:39:23 > 0:39:26Of those three, which is your best crack at a pointless answer?
0:39:26 > 0:39:28None!
0:39:30 > 0:39:33I think David Lloyd George. David Lloyd George. We'll put him last.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36Which is your least likely to be pointless? Michael Portillo.
0:39:36 > 0:39:37Michael Portillo we'll put first.
0:39:37 > 0:39:39Let's put those up on the board in that order.
0:39:39 > 0:39:41Here they are. We have got...
0:39:46 > 0:39:49Your first answer was Michael Portillo.
0:39:49 > 0:39:54If this is correct and it's pointless, you will win ?3,000.
0:39:54 > 0:39:57Kassim, what would you do with your share of the jackpot?
0:39:57 > 0:40:02I might...put it towards
0:40:02 > 0:40:05a holiday back to Malaysia for me and Jayne,
0:40:05 > 0:40:08because Jayne has not been back for the past 12 years.
0:40:08 > 0:40:11Jayne, anything else you have a burning need for?
0:40:11 > 0:40:17We've just moved house. I did want a lawn mower, but somebody's kindly donated one of those.
0:40:17 > 0:40:21But patio furniture and a barbecue would go down well. Very good indeed.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23Good stuff. Three answers on the board.
0:40:23 > 0:40:27Let's hope at least one of those is a pointless answer so you can win that jackpot.
0:40:27 > 0:40:29Your first answer was Michael Portillo.
0:40:29 > 0:40:31Let's find out for ?3,000
0:40:31 > 0:40:36is Michael Portillo a person who's held a great office of state for six or more years?
0:40:37 > 0:40:39Ooh, bad luck.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42Bad luck. Two more shots at that jackpot.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44Your second answer was Anthony Eden.
0:40:44 > 0:40:47If this is pointless, it wins you that jackpot.
0:40:47 > 0:40:51So for ?3,000 let's find out. Did Anthony Eden hold a great office of state for six or more years?
0:40:54 > 0:40:56No, bad luck!
0:40:57 > 0:41:00Bad luck. Everything is now riding on your third and final answer.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03David Lloyd George. If this is right,
0:41:03 > 0:41:06you'll win that jackpot of ?3,000.
0:41:06 > 0:41:07Let's find out. David Lloyd George.
0:41:07 > 0:41:12Was he the leader of either the Labour or Conservative party for six or more years?
0:41:14 > 0:41:16Oh, bad luck!
0:41:16 > 0:41:18I'm so sorry.
0:41:18 > 0:41:22Never mind! I'm so sorry. That was a really tough board, that.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24You had four options, none of which you particularly liked.
0:41:24 > 0:41:28I'm sorry. We've had such fun, though. Great.
0:41:28 > 0:41:33It's been fantastic having you on the show. You didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer.
0:41:33 > 0:41:35So you don't win today's jackpot of ?3,000.
0:41:35 > 0:41:38That will roll over onto the next show. We've enjoyed having you on the programme.
0:41:38 > 0:41:42And you do get to take home a Pointless trophy. So it wasn't an empty journey! No.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45Very well done.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51It has been lovely having you on.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54You hit on a particularly difficult one there.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56There are very few pointless answers.
0:41:56 > 0:41:59I'll go through your answers. Michael Portillo hasn't held any of those offices of state.
0:41:59 > 0:42:01He was Shadow Chancellor, briefly.
0:42:01 > 0:42:06Anthony Eden was Foreign Secretary three times on separate occasions
0:42:06 > 0:42:08so didn't do six years continuously.
0:42:08 > 0:42:11And Lloyd George was a Liberal leader, Liberal prime minister.
0:42:11 > 0:42:15Although he was a correct answer for holders of a great office of state.
0:42:15 > 0:42:17You would have scored two points for that.
0:42:17 > 0:42:20Let's take a look at the pointless answers for all of them.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23Andrew Bonar Law was a Tory leader for more than six years.
0:42:23 > 0:42:26A pointless answer. Very well done if you said that.
0:42:33 > 0:42:36The big scorers there, as you can imagine, Betty Boothroyd would have scored 28,
0:42:36 > 0:42:40George Thomas, Michael Martin scored points. Bernard Weatherill as well.
0:42:43 > 0:42:45Edward Grey is the only one up there.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47So really, really tough.
0:42:47 > 0:42:50You've played terrifically well throughout and chose a very tough category at the end.
0:42:50 > 0:42:54Anyone who got a pointless answer today, you've done well. Well played.
0:42:54 > 0:42:58Thanks very much indeed. Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye, Kassim and Jayne.
0:42:58 > 0:43:02We've loved having you on the show. Thanks so much for playing, Kassim and Jayne. Wonderful.
0:43:05 > 0:43:09Kassim and Jayne didn't win our jackpot today so it rolls over to the next show
0:43:09 > 0:43:11when we'll be playing for ?4,000.
0:43:14 > 0:43:17Join us to see if someone can win it. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard. Goodbye.
0:43:17 > 0:43:20And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye!
