0:00:21 > 0:00:25Thank you. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong. Welcome to Pointless,
0:00:25 > 0:00:32where the lowest scorers are the biggest winners. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:32 > 0:00:38- And couple number one... - Hi, I'm Enfys. This is my boyfriend Sion. We're from Cardiff.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41- Couple number two...- I'm Ollie, this is Jake, from London.
0:00:41 > 0:00:46- Couple number three...- I'm Debbie, this is Cara, from Birmingham.
0:00:46 > 0:00:51- And finally couple number four... - I'm Ben, this is Lynn, my mum. I'm from London.
0:00:51 > 0:00:58These are today's contestants. We'll find out more about all of you as the show goes along.
0:00:58 > 0:01:05That just leaves one more person. He clearly means business as he's wearing the suit he wears in court.
0:01:05 > 0:01:10- It's my Pointless friend, Richard. - Hiya. Hi, everybody.
0:01:10 > 0:01:11Hiya.
0:01:13 > 0:01:18- Good day to you.- And to you. - We've got two returning pairs.
0:01:18 > 0:01:24Neither covered themselves with glory, but were slightly unlucky - Ben and Lynn
0:01:24 > 0:01:26and Jake and Ollie.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30What surprises me about Jake and Ollie is they're not brothers.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34They look like brothers, don't you think?
0:01:34 > 0:01:38If I was told they were brothers, I'd buy it.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40I'm very pleased with question one.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44Are you? Good. I'm pleased. Thanks, Richard.
0:01:44 > 0:01:51All our questions were put to 100 people. Our contestants need the obscure answers they didn't get.
0:01:51 > 0:01:56Everyone wants a pointless answer that none of our 100 people knew.
0:01:56 > 0:02:01Each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot. Kasim and Jane didn't win last time,
0:02:01 > 0:02:06so we add another £1,000 and today's jackpot starts off at £4,000.
0:02:08 > 0:02:13Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:17 > 0:02:22I'll take an answer from each of you, but no conferring.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25The pair with the highest score will head home.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29Our first category today is Famous People.
0:02:29 > 0:02:34Can you all decide who is going to go first and who's going second?
0:02:34 > 0:02:39Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:39 > 0:02:44OK, and the question concerns... people with geographical names.
0:02:44 > 0:02:49- That's brilliant!- You don't know what it is yet.- I still like it.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52People with geographical names.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56- What is it, Richard?- On each pass we'll describe seven people,
0:02:56 > 0:03:03all of whom have a UK town or city for a surname. Tell us their name. 14 in all to have a go at.
0:03:03 > 0:03:09So we are looking for these people described by these clues. Here's our first board of seven.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13- It reads like this... - HE READS THE LIST
0:03:35 > 0:03:38I'll read those all one last time.
0:03:56 > 0:04:01There we are. Seven people with geographical surnames. Enfys,
0:04:01 > 0:04:05you all drew lots and you and Sion are going to go first.
0:04:05 > 0:04:10- Enfys, what do you do?- I'm a civil servant in the Welsh Government.
0:04:10 > 0:04:15- Which bit of Welsh Government? - Inter-governmental relations. - Very important!
0:04:15 > 0:04:22- Which is the most difficult government for you to get on with? - I can't say!- We can work that out.
0:04:22 > 0:04:27What do you make of these famous people with places for surnames?
0:04:27 > 0:04:29I think I'm going to go with...
0:04:31 > 0:04:35..the star who played Dirty Den in EastEnders.
0:04:35 > 0:04:40- Er, Leslie Grantham? - Leslie Grantham, says Enfys.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Is it right? How many said it?
0:04:49 > 0:04:5135.
0:04:52 > 0:04:57- 35 for Leslie Grantham. - Well played, Enfys. Good start.
0:04:57 > 0:05:02- Grantham - it's a UK town.- Yeah, it's good.- See how it works?- I do.
0:05:02 > 0:05:08- Now, Ollie, remind us what you do. - I'm at Bournemouth University studying Television.
0:05:08 > 0:05:13- Television production.- Yes.- Have you decided which area is for you?
0:05:13 > 0:05:20I don't really know yet. It's so wide ranging, I'm enjoying it. I'm only a first year, so...
0:05:20 > 0:05:27- You've got time to narrow it down. You haven't seen anyone today? - I'm planning on stealing their jobs!
0:05:27 > 0:05:32- That's their plan.- Let's do this first. What are you going for?
0:05:32 > 0:05:38I'm not sure it's right, but I'll go for famous for his act with Emu.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Rolf Harris?
0:05:40 > 0:05:45- Oh, yes, because Harris is a place. - That was not a good sound! - How do I know?
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Not a good sound at all.
0:05:47 > 0:05:53Yeah, I'm not going to lie about the sound. I can't fault your geography.
0:05:53 > 0:05:59- Harris is a place, though.- It is, in Scotland. Where tweed comes from, among many other places as well.
0:05:59 > 0:06:05Anyway, Rolf Harris says Ollie for Emu. Is that right? How many said it?
0:06:07 > 0:06:14Oh, bad luck, Ollie. I'm really sorry. That's an incorrect answer and scores the maximum 100 points.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18Sorry, Ollie. It is a place and the initials fit, but not correct.
0:06:18 > 0:06:23Now then, Debbie. What do you do up in Birmingham, Debbie?
0:06:23 > 0:06:28- I work at a museum. - Do you? What kind of museum?
0:06:28 > 0:06:35- It's a needle museum in Redditch, but it's near Birmingham. - A needle museum?- Yes, that's right.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37LAUGHTER
0:06:37 > 0:06:43- I... That sounds great. What...what...? - LAUGHTER
0:06:43 > 0:06:47So it's a history of weaving and knitting?
0:06:47 > 0:06:53It's more about how the needles were made. Redditch used to make 90% of the world's needles.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57- And it's in an old mill building. - I had no idea.
0:06:57 > 0:07:04- What's the best needle you've got? - The one I like to show people is the largest needle in the world.
0:07:04 > 0:07:09- How big is it? - Er...probably about six foot.
0:07:09 > 0:07:16- Wow. That's your kind of size of needle.- That's a big needle. Is that not just a sword?
0:07:16 > 0:07:23- No, it's actually a needle. - Has it got an eye?- Yes.- What do you thread it with - rope?- I don't know.
0:07:23 > 0:07:29- I've never used it. - Why have a six-foot needle? - Apparently, for mattress buttons.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Of course. Yes.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35- How do you feel about this board of people?- Not the best.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38I think I only know two.
0:07:38 > 0:07:44I'm going to go with the Olympics one and say Allan Wells.
0:07:44 > 0:07:49Allan Wells, says Debbie. Is it right? How many said it?
0:07:51 > 0:07:53It's right.
0:07:57 > 0:07:5921.
0:07:59 > 0:08:04Best score so far, Debbie, for Allan Wells.
0:08:04 > 0:08:10Well played, Debbie. He started out as a long jumper and triple jumper before turning to the sprint.
0:08:10 > 0:08:15- And then coached the British bobsleigh team.- Good for him!- Yeah.
0:08:15 > 0:08:20Now then, Ben, welcome back. Last time, what happened?
0:08:20 > 0:08:23- We left after about five minutes. - Round One!- I know!
0:08:23 > 0:08:30- Funnel gate. I don't know what that was about.- My brain turned to gravy. It was just awful.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34It was words ending "nel" and Ben gave us funnel. A good word.
0:08:34 > 0:08:39For some reason, the 100 people all seemed to remember it.
0:08:39 > 0:08:46- So, Ben, remind us what you do. - I'm a video game PR, so I tell people how good video games are.
0:08:46 > 0:08:52- That's fun. So you have to spend an appreciable part of your day playing video games.- Most of my day.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56My boss can't see my screen. If only he knew I was playing games.
0:08:56 > 0:09:02- You're the last person to have this board. Talk us through it. - Yeah, I know a couple.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06Joe Cornish's partner, I think, is Adam Buxton.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09The President is Abraham Lincoln.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Deborah Kerr, Burt Lancaster.
0:09:11 > 0:09:16Rod Hull, and then I don't know the bottom one.
0:09:16 > 0:09:22- So I'll go with Joe Cornish and Adam Buxton.- Adam Buxton. Great answer. Is that right?
0:09:22 > 0:09:25How many of our 100 people said it?
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Absolutely right.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38Oh, it's a good answer. Six. Very well done indeed, Ben.
0:09:38 > 0:09:43Funnel is a thing of the past. Wonderful score there. Six.
0:09:43 > 0:09:50- That's much better, Ben.- That feels better.- You also took us expertly through the rest of the board.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54The US President is Abraham Lincoln. That would have scored you 46.
0:09:54 > 0:09:59The actor is Burt Lancaster. That would have scored you 25.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02Emu is Rod Hull. 59 points.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06Do you know the American singer? It's a town in Lancashire.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10- Michael Bolton.- Oh, Michael Bolton! - That would have scored you seven.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14- But I love this round. All their surnames are towns.- All places.
0:10:14 > 0:10:19- It's good. You've done well. - Thank you. And seven more to come!
0:10:19 > 0:10:21I can't wait.
0:10:21 > 0:10:28- Before we do that, I'll tell them what the scores are.- OK.- Then we'll pop them up on the board.
0:10:28 > 0:10:34- We should have done that before. - Yeah. No, I kind of do. I'll try to do it in 30 seconds.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37- I'll time you.- OK. Let's take a look at the scores.
0:10:37 > 0:10:43- Six was the best score. Well done, Ben. Then up to 21. - 10 seconds.
0:10:43 > 0:10:48Up to 35, Enfys and Sion. Then Ollie and Jake on 100.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51Jake, we need a low score from you.
0:10:51 > 0:10:57- OK, let's come back down the line. Can the second players take their place at the podium?- 29 seconds!
0:10:57 > 0:11:03- 29 seconds.- Ah, get in! - How about that?- That was good. It was a bit rushed,
0:11:03 > 0:11:06- a bit tatty.- Better than usual.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08LAUGHTER
0:11:08 > 0:11:13OK, we'll put seven more clues up and here they are. I can't wait.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15HE READS THE LIST
0:11:44 > 0:11:46I'll read those all one last time.
0:12:11 > 0:12:19We want the geographical surnames of the people in these clues. Lynn, you want the one the fewest people knew.
0:12:19 > 0:12:25You're in a very comfortable position thanks to Ben's expert answering. Remind us what you do.
0:12:25 > 0:12:30- I'm retired.- Remind us what you did. - I worked in a pet shop with no pets.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33It wasn't an unqualified success.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38They sold out. Did brilliantly.
0:12:38 > 0:12:43- A pet shop with no pets. A pet supplies shop.- Yes, basically.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47Now this is your board. All yours. Dive in, take your pick.
0:12:47 > 0:12:53I'm going to go for the Frank Muir one. The thinking man's crumpet.
0:12:53 > 0:12:58- I think it's Joan Bakewell. - Joan Bakewell, says Lynn. Joan Bakewell.
0:12:58 > 0:13:04You want to be scoring 93 or less with this to avoid becoming the new high scorers. Let's see.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08Is Joan Bakewell right? How many said it? There's your red line.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11You've done it.
0:13:15 > 0:13:1719.
0:13:19 > 0:13:2419 for Joan Bakewell. Takes your total up to 25.
0:13:24 > 0:13:29A small market town in the Derbyshire dales. Bakewell. Joan Bakewell.
0:13:29 > 0:13:33- She's 80! She looks amazing on it. - No!- Yeah.
0:13:33 > 0:13:34Wow.
0:13:34 > 0:13:39There you go. Cara, welcome. What do you do, Cara?
0:13:39 > 0:13:44I'm a quality assurance officer in the Cancer Research UK clinical trials unit.
0:13:44 > 0:13:50- Wow. How long have you done that? - Only six months. Quite new to it. - What an amazing job, though.
0:13:50 > 0:13:56- It's really interesting. - Now what about this board? - I'm going to play it safe.
0:13:56 > 0:14:03A choice of two. I'm going to go with...British Formula 1 driver.
0:14:03 > 0:14:08- Lewis Hamilton.- Lewis Hamilton. Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many said it.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11Here's your red line. Nice and high.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14You're through.
0:14:15 > 0:14:1741.
0:14:18 > 0:14:2162, your total.
0:14:21 > 0:14:27Well played, Cara. Safely through. Lewis Hamilton. Hamilton. It's in South Lanarkshire.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31There you are. That's good. Thanks very much.
0:14:31 > 0:14:37- Now Jake. Oh, Jake... Did you know Rod Hull? - No, I didn't know Rod Hull.
0:14:37 > 0:14:43- OK. Remind us what you do. - I'm in a gap year at the moment. Starting uni in September.
0:14:43 > 0:14:49- What are you studying?- Politics and Modern History.- Good, good. What are your hobbies?
0:14:49 > 0:14:54I play football, I'm quite into music. That's about it.
0:14:54 > 0:15:00- You know what you have to do. - I know.- Score low. - I just wish I could!
0:15:00 > 0:15:03And hope Sion is panicking. He looks pretty placid.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05LAUGHTER
0:15:05 > 0:15:11I knew Lewis Hamilton and I should know the top one. I will know it when I see it.
0:15:11 > 0:15:16My mum loves Strictly Come Dancing and I should know that as well,
0:15:16 > 0:15:23but I can't bring either of them to mind, so I'm going to have to have a guess and go for...
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Barry Carlisle for the top one.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29- The excellent... - LAUGHTER
0:15:29 > 0:15:32The late, lamented Barry Carlisle.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Well, let's find out.
0:15:37 > 0:15:42- Belinda's dad, essentially.- Yeah! - OK, well, let's find out. Barry Carlisle.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46Is it right? How many said it? No red line for you.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51- AUDIENCE GROANS - Oh, I'm sorry.
0:15:51 > 0:15:56Oh, Jake, I'm really sorry. Welcome to the 200 Club, that's all I'll say.
0:15:56 > 0:16:03- That was our secondary aim. - We'll be in touch shortly with membership details on that.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07I'm afraid that scores you the maximum of 100 points.
0:16:07 > 0:16:13- Good guess, though.- Yeah.- Barry Carlisle - both towns in the UK.
0:16:13 > 0:16:20- Yeah. Richard loves that.- I was happy with Lewis Hamilton - that's two towns. But Barry Carlisle!
0:16:20 > 0:16:25- Anyway, thanks. Now Sion, welcome. - Thank you.- Welcome to Pointless.
0:16:25 > 0:16:32- You also work for the Welsh Government.- I do. For the Health Minister.- Right you are.
0:16:32 > 0:16:38- I draft letters for the Health Minister.- So you're a civil servant. What do you make of this board?
0:16:38 > 0:16:44I'm so happy that they got the last question wrong. That's the only one I know.
0:16:44 > 0:16:49Which is the top one. And I think it's Bing Crosby.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51Bing Crosby. Bing Crosby.
0:16:53 > 0:16:58There's no red line, but let's see how many people said Bing Crosby.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02It's right.
0:17:03 > 0:17:0557.
0:17:05 > 0:17:10Good enough. 92's your total, Sion, and you're through.
0:17:10 > 0:17:15Well played, Sion. Sorry, Jake and Ollie. Bing Crosby the answer there.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19- How are you on the rest of these? - Um...I'm not brilliant.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22It's not playing to your strengths.
0:17:22 > 0:17:27Do you know the bottom one? Circumnavigated the globe? Big scorer.
0:17:27 > 0:17:34- Sir Francis Chichester.- Oh, yeah. - Would have scored 33. The partner of Lisa Riley was Robin Windsor.
0:17:34 > 0:17:4010 points. The men's 10,000 metres world record was broken by David Bedford.
0:17:40 > 0:17:46That would have scored six. The best answer - the architect who designed the Clore Gallery.
0:17:46 > 0:17:52James Stirling. Three points. Very well done if you said that or got all of those.
0:17:52 > 0:17:58Thank you, Richard. Well, there we are. The pair who are leaving are Jake and Ollie.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01Returning pair, the brothers.
0:18:01 > 0:18:06- LAUGHTER - We thought you were going to go to the final and lift the jackpot.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09- So did we, so did we. - Dear, oh, dear.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13I'm afraid with Barry Carlisle that wasn't going to happen.
0:18:13 > 0:18:19Anyway, I'm sorry we say goodbye so soon. Great contestants. Thanks for playing.
0:18:20 > 0:18:25But for the remaining three pairs it's now time for Round Two.
0:18:28 > 0:18:34So we're down to three pairs. After this round, we get rid of another pair, which is very sad.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37Cara and Debbie, nice middle line.
0:18:37 > 0:18:42Enfys and Sion, sailing a little bit close to the wind, but you did it.
0:18:42 > 0:18:49Ben and Lynn, that was just wonderful. Ben, the lowest scorer, and Lynn, the second lowest.
0:18:49 > 0:18:54You are the pair to beat. Our category for Round Two is... the Olympics.
0:18:54 > 0:18:59Can you all decide in your pairs who's going first and second?
0:18:59 > 0:19:04Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08Let's find out what the question is. We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:19:08 > 0:19:15to name as many teams who took part in the 2012 Olympic football tournament as they could.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18Teams in the 2012 Olympic football tournament, Richard.
0:19:18 > 0:19:24Any nation, apart from Great Britain, who took part in the men's or women's football tournaments
0:19:24 > 0:19:29at the 2012 Olympics. Any men's or women's teams. Very best of luck.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33Thanks very much indeed. Now then, Enfys.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37- Did you watch a lot of 2012? - The Olympics, yes.
0:19:37 > 0:19:42- Not the year.- The Olympics, yes. The football not so much.
0:19:42 > 0:19:48- Right. So it's going to be an informed guess.- It is going to be an informed guess.
0:19:48 > 0:19:54I'm trying to think of ones a little less obvious. I'm going to go...Mexico.
0:19:54 > 0:19:59Mexico, says Enfys. Is that right? If it is, how many people said Mexico?
0:19:59 > 0:20:03Slight nod from Sion there. Yes, it's right.
0:20:06 > 0:20:10It's a good answer. 12! Well done, Enfys.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13I think that'll do.
0:20:16 > 0:20:22- Well played. They actually won the gold medal.- Oh, did they? - Yeah, the men's tournament.
0:20:22 > 0:20:26Thanks, Richard. Now, Debbie. Debbie, how's this for you?
0:20:26 > 0:20:30Well, I went to two of the ladies games, so I know who played in those,
0:20:30 > 0:20:36but I don't know how low they'll be so I'm going to go for...
0:20:36 > 0:20:41- Canada.- Canada, says Debbie. Is that one of the games you watched?- Yeah.
0:20:41 > 0:20:47Let's see if that's right. We know it is! How many said it?
0:20:50 > 0:20:5412 is our low score so far from the gold medal winners.
0:20:54 > 0:20:5719 for Canada.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02That fell nicely, Debbie, didn't it?
0:21:02 > 0:21:09- They got bronze in the women's tournament.- Thanks, Richard. Now Ben... Ben.- Mm-hm.
0:21:09 > 0:21:15- What are you going to go for? - Well, the only way I remember is there was a problem with the flag.
0:21:15 > 0:21:21And I think it was involving the North Korean team, so I'm going to say North Korea.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25North Korea, says Ben. Is that right? How many said it?
0:21:26 > 0:21:28It's right!
0:21:28 > 0:21:32It's right. Well, 19 is our high score, 12 is our low.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36North Korea... Down to nine! Very well done, Ben.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40Good remembering skills.
0:21:40 > 0:21:41Nine.
0:21:41 > 0:21:48Well played, Ben. Sometimes it's about knowing what's in the news. You can still do well.
0:21:48 > 0:21:55- They showed the wrong flag and they protested vociferously.- Thanks. Let's take a look at the scores.
0:21:55 > 0:22:01Nine our lowest score. Very well done, Ben. Ben and Lynn can relax a little bit with that.
0:22:01 > 0:22:07Then up to 12, Enfys and Sion. And 19, Debbie and Cara. Very tightly grouped there,
0:22:07 > 0:22:10but, Cara, you are out in front. We need a low score.
0:22:10 > 0:22:16We'll come back down the line. Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:22:18 > 0:22:21OK, Lynn. Ben did very well there.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24Very, very well. Did you watch the football?
0:22:24 > 0:22:31- I don't watch football. - Did you watch any of the Olympics? - A little bit.- Any football?- No!
0:22:33 > 0:22:37- OK, so it's going to be another complete guess.- Yes.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40I'm going to go for...Jamaica.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44Jamaica, says Lynn. Here comes your red line.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47Quite low. Will Jamaica get you down there?
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Oh, Lynn!
0:22:53 > 0:22:58Oh, bad luck. I'm sorry to say that's an incorrect answer. Takes your total to 109.
0:22:58 > 0:23:05Sorry, Lynn. Great footballing nation, but not in the Olympics. It might not be the last 100 we see.
0:23:05 > 0:23:10- Thanks. Now, Cara, you also play football.- Yeah.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14- So it's fair to assume you follow it?- No, I don't.- OK.
0:23:14 > 0:23:18- I watch rugby, not really football. - Right.
0:23:18 > 0:23:23I've got an inkling. I didn't go with Debbie to any matches, sadly.
0:23:23 > 0:23:29- But I'm going to go for Japan. - Japan. Debbie's nodding. It seems good.
0:23:29 > 0:23:34The high scorers on 109 are Lynn and Ben. 89 or less sees you through.
0:23:34 > 0:23:39Let's see if Japan scores that. There's your red line.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41It's right. And you're through.
0:23:45 > 0:23:4721.
0:23:47 > 0:23:5021 for Japan takes your total up to 40.
0:23:52 > 0:24:00Well played, Cara. The women are world champions. They got silver and the men came fourth.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02Thanks. Now, Sion.
0:24:02 > 0:24:10- How are you feeling about this?- OK. - You seemed quite authoritative when Enfys said Mexico. You nodded.
0:24:10 > 0:24:16- Yes.- In a very subtle way. The nod of someone who knows what they're talking about.
0:24:16 > 0:24:22You're on 12. If you can score 96 or less, you are through to the next round.
0:24:22 > 0:24:28I'm thinking about being safe. But you're only on Pointless twice, so I'm thinking...
0:24:30 > 0:24:37- I'll go for South Korea. - South Korea, says Sion. Here comes your red line. Nice and high.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41Below that, you're in the Head to Head. Is it right? How many said it?
0:24:43 > 0:24:45It's right and you're through.
0:24:49 > 0:24:55Look at that! Eight! That just happens to be the best score of the round, Sion. Eight.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58Takes your total up to 20. Well done.
0:24:58 > 0:25:04Good answer. If you'd followed Ben's lead, Lynn, you'd be safe. The men won bronze.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07Debbie, who were the other teams you saw?
0:25:07 > 0:25:12I saw USA-Japan and I saw Britain play Canada.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16You chose the best answer out of those.
0:25:16 > 0:25:20USA would have scored you 57. Japan we've already seen.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23There's four pointless answers.
0:25:25 > 0:25:30Belarus qualified for the men's tournament, Colombia in the women's,
0:25:30 > 0:25:36Gabon also in the men's tournament and quarter-finalists in it were Honduras. Also pointless.
0:25:36 > 0:25:42Well done if you said them. Let's look at the top answers that most people said.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44Spain with 52,
0:25:44 > 0:25:46USA with 57
0:25:46 > 0:25:51France right up at the top there with 60.
0:25:51 > 0:25:58Thank you, Richard. So I'm afraid it's Ben and Lynn, our second returning pair. Oh, off you go.
0:25:58 > 0:26:04Cruel Pointless. So good in the first round. I'd barely finished complimenting you
0:26:04 > 0:26:08when in came Jamaica. I'm so sorry. We have to say goodbye to you.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11Thanks for playing, Ben and Lynn.
0:26:13 > 0:26:18But for the two remaining pairs it's now time for the Head to Head.
0:26:21 > 0:26:27Congratulations, Cara and Debbie, Enfys and Sion. You're one step closer to playing for the jackpot,
0:26:27 > 0:26:29which currently stands at £4,000.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33Turning into a nice jackpot.
0:26:33 > 0:26:39To decide who plays for that, you now go Head to Head, but you're now allowed to confer.
0:26:39 > 0:26:44The first pair to win two questions will play for that money. Let's play the Head to Head.
0:26:49 > 0:26:55OK, here comes your first question and it concerns... stringed instruments.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57Stringed instruments, Richard.
0:26:57 > 0:27:03- We'll show you five pictures of stringed instruments. Can you name the most obscure?- OK, thanks.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06Let's reveal our five stringed instruments.
0:27:24 > 0:27:30There we are. Five stringed instruments. Cara and Debbie, you get to go first.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44We're going to go for B. We think it's a sitar.
0:27:44 > 0:27:52- B, a sitar. Now, Enfys and Sion, what are you going to go for? Want to talk us through the board?- Yep.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54If I can!
0:27:54 > 0:27:57A I think is mandolin.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59C is banjo.
0:28:00 > 0:28:04- D...- Not too sure on D. - Not too sure.
0:28:04 > 0:28:08E is electric guitar. And B is a sitar.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11- So we'll go with A?- Yeah.
0:28:11 > 0:28:15- Go with A, mandolin.- A, mandolin. We have sitar and mandolin.
0:28:15 > 0:28:21Cara and Debbie said sitar. Is that right? How many of our 100 people said sitar?
0:28:23 > 0:28:25It's right.
0:28:27 > 0:28:2936.
0:28:34 > 0:28:40Now then, Enfys and Sion have said mandolin for A. Is mandolin right?
0:28:40 > 0:28:42How many people said mandolin?
0:28:44 > 0:28:48Oh! Bad luck, I'm afraid. Not a mandolin.
0:28:48 > 0:28:52Which means Cara and Debbie are up one-nil.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55Not a mandolin. It's a lute.
0:28:55 > 0:29:00- Ah.- If it's any consolation, I thought the first three were all mandolin.
0:29:00 > 0:29:06The first one, "Mandolin." The second one, "That's a mandolin!" Third one, "Oh, mandolin."
0:29:06 > 0:29:11I was wrong on every single one. So A is a lute.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14B we've seen is a sitar. C is a banjo.
0:29:14 > 0:29:17Would have scored you 72 points.
0:29:17 > 0:29:21- Do you know D?- A zither? - It's a balalaika.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24- Oh, a balalaika. - That would have scored three.
0:29:24 > 0:29:32- And E is an electric guitar. That would have scored you 89 points. - Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:29:32 > 0:29:39Here comes your second question. Enfys and Sion have to win this. Good luck. It concerns...
0:29:39 > 0:29:42Superheroes.
0:29:42 > 0:29:47- Superheroes, Richard. - We'll name five superheroes all featured in films,
0:29:47 > 0:29:51but in anagram form. Can you unscramble them?
0:29:51 > 0:29:56Thank you. Let's reveal our five superheroes. And here they are.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58HE READS THE LIST
0:30:03 > 0:30:06I'll read those one last time.
0:30:10 > 0:30:14Five superheroes in mixed-up form. Now...
0:30:14 > 0:30:17Enfys and Sion, you go first.
0:30:27 > 0:30:32OK, we'll go number three and we'll go Hellboy.
0:30:32 > 0:30:35Hellboy, say Enfys and Sion.
0:30:35 > 0:30:40Now Cara and Debbie, the board is all yours. Talk us through it.
0:30:41 > 0:30:46We knew Hellboy and we think the second one is Iron Man.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49And the bottom one is Superman.
0:30:50 > 0:30:55And I don't think we know the other two.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58So we'll go with Iron Man.
0:30:58 > 0:31:02You're going to go with Iron Man. We have Hellboy and Iron Man.
0:31:02 > 0:31:07Enfys and Sion said Hellboy. Is that right? How many said it?
0:31:09 > 0:31:11It's right.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17Ten!
0:31:21 > 0:31:26Ten for Hellboy. Cara and Debbie said Iron Man. Is that right?
0:31:26 > 0:31:29How many of our 100 people said Iron Man?
0:31:31 > 0:31:33It's right.
0:31:37 > 0:31:44Oh, very well done, Enfys and Sion. You win that one and you're back in the game. It's one-all.
0:31:44 > 0:31:49- Well played. I think you knew Practice A Mania.- Captain America?
0:31:49 > 0:31:54It's a better score, actually. Five points. Bottom is Superman.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56That would have scored 52.
0:31:56 > 0:32:02The top one is a pointless answer. Right Doers - Nicolas Cage played him in 2007.
0:32:02 > 0:32:06It's Ghost Rider. Very well done if you said that.
0:32:06 > 0:32:11Thanks very much indeed. Here comes your deciding question.
0:32:11 > 0:32:16Whoever wins this plays for the jackpot. It concerns...
0:32:16 > 0:32:18Edinburgh.
0:32:18 > 0:32:25- Edinburgh, Richard.- We'll give you five clues to facts about Edinburgh. The most obscure answer wins.
0:32:25 > 0:32:30- Very best of luck.- Thanks. OK, let's reveal our five clues and here they are.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32HE READS THE LIST
0:32:46 > 0:32:48I'll read that again.
0:33:00 > 0:33:05There we are. Five clues to facts about Edinburgh. Cara and Debbie go first.
0:33:19 > 0:33:24OK, sorry. We're going to go for the author. It's Walter Scott.
0:33:24 > 0:33:30Walter Scott, say Cara and Debbie. Enfys and Sion, talk us through it.
0:33:30 > 0:33:35- You know the top one. - The name of the hill is Arthur's Seat, I think.
0:33:35 > 0:33:39The second one, I think, is the Heart of Midlothian Football Club.
0:33:39 > 0:33:46- I think the third one is Trainspotting.- We don't know the Ukrainian city.- Or the bottom one.
0:33:46 > 0:33:52- So I think we'll go with Hearts? - Heart of Midlothian Football Club. - Heart of Midlothian for Hearts.
0:33:52 > 0:33:58Walter Scott and Heart of Midlothian. Cara and Debbie said Walter Scott. Is that right?
0:34:00 > 0:34:02It's right.
0:34:06 > 0:34:11Very well done. 14 for the Scott Monument.
0:34:13 > 0:34:20Enfys and Sion have said Heart of Midlothian. Is that right? How many people said that?
0:34:22 > 0:34:26Well, it's right. 14 is what you have to beat.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28Oh, 43! Bad luck.
0:34:32 > 0:34:38Which means Cara and Debbie, well done. You are through to the final, two-one.
0:34:38 > 0:34:43A big score for Heart of Midlothian there. Won the Scottish Cup in 2012.
0:34:43 > 0:34:50Now you were right about Trainspotting, the Irvine Welsh novel. It would have scored you 13.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53- No way!- Yeah. It would have seen you through to the jackpot round.
0:34:53 > 0:34:59You were also right about Arthur's Seat. And that would have scored you 11 points.
0:34:59 > 0:35:04- What?!- It would also have seen you through. Unlucky.
0:35:04 > 0:35:10And the Ukrainian city is Kiev. That's the best answer up there. It would have scored eight points.
0:35:10 > 0:35:15- That's tough luck. - It is tough. It really is.
0:35:15 > 0:35:20I'm afraid we have to say goodbye, Enfys and Sion,
0:35:20 > 0:35:26but on the evidence of that last question, we know you're capable of much greater things.
0:35:26 > 0:35:31Meantime, thanks for playing, Enfys and Sion.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34But for Cara and Debbie it's now time for the Pointless final.
0:35:37 > 0:35:44Congratulations, Cara and Debbie. You've seen off the competition and won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:50 > 0:35:55You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot, which stands at £4,000.
0:35:58 > 0:36:03See, that's a decent-size jackpot there. You've done so well.
0:36:03 > 0:36:08So well, particularly in that last round. It was very well played.
0:36:08 > 0:36:13- What would you like to see come up? - Ooh...- A bit of music?
0:36:13 > 0:36:18- Yeah, music would be good. - Any particular kind?- Not classical.
0:36:19 > 0:36:23- Pop music from the '90s. - Yeah, that would be great.
0:36:23 > 0:36:28OK, good. As always, you choose your category and here are your choices.
0:36:35 > 0:36:38Oh, my goodness.
0:36:38 > 0:36:41Booker Prize winners or Irish music?
0:36:41 > 0:36:45- What do you think? - Popular Irish Music?
0:36:45 > 0:36:49- All right, yeah.- Could be a nightmare.- Let's go for it.
0:36:49 > 0:36:55- OK, Popular Irish Music it is. Good stuff. Richard?- I think if you asked for pop music,
0:36:55 > 0:37:01it's a good decision. We'll give you three categories. I hope one is helpful.
0:37:01 > 0:37:05We're looking for any Top 40 UK hit by The Corrs.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08Any Top 40 hit by Thin Lizzy.
0:37:08 > 0:37:12Or any Top 40 hit by Ronan Keating.
0:37:12 > 0:37:17So any UK Top 40 single up to the end of February, 2013, by any of those three acts.
0:37:17 > 0:37:23- Very, very best of luck. - Thanks very much indeed. As always, you've got up to one minute
0:37:23 > 0:37:29to come up with three answers. To win the £4,000, just one answer has to be pointless.
0:37:29 > 0:37:35Your answers can come from any categories - three from one, one from each, entirely up to you.
0:37:35 > 0:37:42- Are you ready?- Yep. - OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock. Your time starts now.
0:37:42 > 0:37:48- I'm really struggling! - OK, The Corrs - Breathless. Did they have one called Runaway?
0:37:48 > 0:37:50Maybe Runaway?
0:37:50 > 0:37:56Thin Lizzy - The Boys Are Back In Town. Whisky In The Jar? Was that Thin Lizzy?
0:37:56 > 0:38:01I don't know. What about that Ronan one?
0:38:01 > 0:38:06That was a Boyzone one. He did Rollercoaster. That's quite famous.
0:38:06 > 0:38:10When You Say Nothing At All. What are the Corrs ones?
0:38:10 > 0:38:17- What Can I Do? - What Can I Do? Was that it? Shall we go for three Corrs ones?
0:38:17 > 0:38:23- What Can I Do, Breathless and Runaway?- Do you know any more? - Not really, no!
0:38:23 > 0:38:27I think the Thin Lizzy ones I know are probably quite famous.
0:38:27 > 0:38:32- Yeah.- So maybe go for those three. Breathless, Runaway, What Can I Do?
0:38:32 > 0:38:36- Ronan Keating... Are you OK with those?- Yeah.
0:38:36 > 0:38:40Ronan Keating, Rollercoaster is famous.
0:38:40 > 0:38:46- We'll stick with The Corrs, then. - OK, that's your time up. I now need your three answers.
0:38:46 > 0:38:50- They're all The Corrs.- OK.- We'll go with Breathless.- Breathless.
0:38:50 > 0:38:55- Runaway.- Runaway. - And What Can I Do?- What Can I Do?
0:38:55 > 0:38:58Which would you nominate as your best shot?
0:38:58 > 0:39:01- Maybe Runaway.- We'll put it last.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04- Your least likely?- What Can I Do? - We'll put it first.
0:39:04 > 0:39:09OK, let's put them up on the board in that order. And here they are.
0:39:12 > 0:39:17Very, very best of luck. Your first answer was What Can I Do?
0:39:17 > 0:39:23If this is correct and pointless, you will leave with £4,000. What would you do with that, Cara?
0:39:23 > 0:39:29I'm planning my civil partnership ceremony and we might need a holiday just to relieve the stress.
0:39:29 > 0:39:35- Before and after, maybe? - Maybe a bit of both.- Why not? Debbie, how about you?
0:39:35 > 0:39:41- Well, I've just had a baby, so it would be nice to go on a family holiday.- Very nice.
0:39:41 > 0:39:44Best of luck. Three good answers.
0:39:44 > 0:39:50Your first answer, What Can I Do?. If it's pointless, it wins you the jackpot.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53For £4,000, was it a UK Top 40 hit for The Corrs?
0:39:55 > 0:39:57Yes, it was.
0:39:57 > 0:40:01What Can I Do? A UK Top 40 hit for The Corrs.
0:40:01 > 0:40:05If this goes to zero, you leave here with £4,000.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08Looking good. Four!
0:40:08 > 0:40:12Oh, that'll do! Four's good.
0:40:12 > 0:40:16I mean, it's not pointless, sadly, but it's a great score.
0:40:16 > 0:40:21- Promising.- Very promising. You thought that was the best known.
0:40:21 > 0:40:26- I thought so. I don't know. - Best of luck. Two more answers.
0:40:26 > 0:40:30Let's see. Breathless. Your second answer.
0:40:30 > 0:40:34For £4,000, was Breathless a UK Top 40 hit for The Corrs?
0:40:36 > 0:40:38Yes, it was.
0:40:38 > 0:40:42Your first answer, What Can I Do?, took us all the way down to four.
0:40:42 > 0:40:46Your second answer, Breathless, taking us into the teens...
0:40:46 > 0:40:4718!
0:40:54 > 0:40:56- Still a good score.- It's OK.
0:40:56 > 0:41:01- 18 too many!- Not pointless. 18 too many, as you say.
0:41:01 > 0:41:07One last chance to win that jackpot of £4,000. Everything's riding on Runaway. Let's find out.
0:41:07 > 0:41:11Was it a UK Top 40 hit for The Corrs?
0:41:11 > 0:41:13Yes, it was.
0:41:13 > 0:41:17Everything is riding on this answer. What Can I Do? took us to four.
0:41:17 > 0:41:20Breathless took us down to 18.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22Runaway now... Oh, no! 18 again!
0:41:24 > 0:41:26Never mind.
0:41:31 > 0:41:36Three perfectly respectable scores. You'd be happy with that at any point in Pointless,
0:41:36 > 0:41:42- apart from in the final.- Yes. - I'm really sorry you didn't manage to find a pointless answer
0:41:42 > 0:41:48and don't win today's jackpot of £4,000. That will roll over, but we've loved having you
0:41:48 > 0:41:53- and you take home a Pointless trophy each. Very well done.- Thank you.
0:41:57 > 0:42:01Well played, Cara and Debbie. Tough last category for you there.
0:42:01 > 0:42:08I think the easiest one was Ronan Keating singles. Ronan Keating fans might have done very well.
0:42:08 > 0:42:12We'll start with The Corrs. I Know My Love, with The Chieftains.
0:42:12 > 0:42:18And Would You Be Happier. Both pointless. Thin Lizzy, there's two as well.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21Do Anything You Want To and Killer On The Loose.
0:42:21 > 0:42:27And for Ronan Keating, you could have had I Hope You Dance, I Love It When We Do,
0:42:27 > 0:42:32Iris, the number four hit with Lulu, We've Got Tonight,
0:42:32 > 0:42:35a track with LeAnn Rimes, Last Thing On My Mind.
0:42:35 > 0:42:41And also The Long Goodbye. Some proper big hits there.
0:42:41 > 0:42:47Thanks. Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to you. Thank you for playing. Brilliant contestants.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:42:51 > 0:42:58Cara and Debbie didn't win, so the jackpot rolls over and we'll be playing for £5,000.
0:43:00 > 0:43:06- Join us then to see if someone wins it. Meanwhile, goodbye from Richard. - Goodbye.- And goodbye from me.
