0:00:18 > 0:00:20APPLAUSE
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Thank you very much. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong. Welcome to Pointless.
0:00:26 > 0:00:30The quiz show where obvious answers mean nothing and obscure answers mean everything.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32Let's meet today's players.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37And couple number one.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40I'm Doug, this is Huw. We're mates from university.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42- Couple number two. - I'm Sophie from London.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44This is my mum Wendy from Kent.
0:00:44 > 0:00:45Couple number three.
0:00:45 > 0:00:49I'm Nigel, this is Gary. We're from Peterborough and we're colleagues.
0:00:49 > 0:00:50And finally couple number four.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53I'm Sion, this is my girlfriend Enfys and we're from Cardiff.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55And these are today's contestants.
0:00:55 > 0:00:56APPLAUSE
0:00:58 > 0:01:00We'll find out more about you throughout the show.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03So there's only one more person for me left to introduce.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07Our very own beautiful mind with legs up to here. A real double threat.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10- It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.- Hiya.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12Hi, everybody.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17- Good afternoon to you. - And to you.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Today it's going to be tough to beat Sion and Enfys, isn't it?
0:01:20 > 0:01:22I think it's going to have to be.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Last time they got all the way through to the head to head.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26It was one-all in the head to head.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28They knew three answers on the last board.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Two of them would have seen them through and they chose the other one.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34Going to be very hard to knock off their perch, I suspect.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37But we've got three new pairs. We know little about them.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39They may have geniuses amongst them.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Gary, that jumper says genius to me, doesn't it?
0:01:42 > 0:01:43LAUGHTER
0:01:43 > 0:01:47That is the first time we've had that particular shade on the show.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50- We've done a lot of shows, haven't we?- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:01:50 > 0:01:51Good stuff. Thanks very much indeed.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54All our questions have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58Our contestants need to found the obscure answers those 100 people didn't get.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Everyone's trying to find a pointless answer,
0:02:00 > 0:02:02an answer that none of our 100 gave.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05And each time that happens we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08Now Cara and Debbie didn't win the jackpot last time so we add another £1,000 to that.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12So today's jackpot starts off at £5,000.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14APPLAUSE
0:02:16 > 0:02:18If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27In this first round I'll take an answer from each of you but there is to be no conferring.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30The pair with the highest score at the end of the round will head home.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33Our first category today is...
0:02:35 > 0:02:39UK politicians. Can you all decide who's going to go first, who's going to go second.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42And whoever's going first please step up to the podium.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48The question concerns...
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Party leaders who have not been prime minister.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56As soon as you say UK politicians there's just a sigh across the whole nation.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58HE SIGHS
0:02:59 > 0:03:01On this one we're going to show you seven questions.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05Clues to people who have been party leaders, haven't been prime minister.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07Leaders of the Tories, Labour or Lib Dems.
0:03:07 > 0:03:1014 in all to have a go at at home. Very best of luck.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12We're going to put these clues up.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15We want the names of these politicians described by the clues.
0:03:15 > 0:03:16Here's our first board of seven.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44I'll read those clues one last time.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12Now then, Doug and Huw, you drew lots and today you're going to go first.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Doug, welcome to Pointless, good to have you here. What do you do, Doug?
0:04:15 > 0:04:17I'm a student at Manchester University.
0:04:17 > 0:04:18- What are you studying? - History.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21- History. Going well? - All right, yeah.
0:04:21 > 0:04:22- What year are you in? - Final year.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25- So finals getting quite close. - Yeah.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27- I mean really very close. - Very very close.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Got a deadline in tomorrow, in fact.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31What a great thing to be doing, Pointless!
0:04:31 > 0:04:34- Yeah.- Good. It's quite good revision, this.- I think so.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37- What's your period of history? - All sorts, really.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40I've done a nice mix. I try and avoid Middle Ages.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42I would, I would.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46- Not much happened, I don't think. - No, absolutely nothing.
0:04:46 > 0:04:47What are you going for?
0:04:47 > 0:04:49I think I'm going to play it safe, hopefully.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52And say Vince Cable was appointed business secretary.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Vince Cable appointed business secretary in 2010.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58Let's see if that's right and see how many people said Vince Cable.
0:04:58 > 0:04:59It's right.
0:05:06 > 0:05:07Ten!
0:05:09 > 0:05:12Great answer. Good low score there, Doug.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16- Just the ten points for Vince. - That's really well played.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18He was only acting leader of the Lib Dems.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21So a good answer. Perhaps Sion and Enfys do have some competition.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Maybe they do. Maybe they do.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27Sophie, welcome. Welcome to Pointless. What do you do, Sophie?
0:05:27 > 0:05:29I'm a web copywriter.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32So I write words that go on the internet.
0:05:32 > 0:05:33OK, and what are your hobbies, Sophie?
0:05:33 > 0:05:36I just started doing a bit of stand-up comedy as a hobby.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39- How's it going? - It's going quite well.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41- The first bit's the hardest, I imagine.- Yeah.
0:05:41 > 0:05:46You know, I wouldn't dare say in such company. Big fan of Richard's.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48LAUGHTER
0:05:48 > 0:05:53- You haven't seen his stand-up! - If anyone hasn't ever stood up on television, that's me.
0:05:53 > 0:05:54LAUGHTER
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Best of luck with that. What are you going to go for on this board?
0:05:58 > 0:06:02Very nervous about this answer but I'm sure it's right.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05She was elected deputy leader of the Labour Party, Harriet Harman.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09Harriet Harman, says Sophie. Deputy leader of the Labour Party.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Let's see if it's right and how many people said Harriet Harman.
0:06:13 > 0:06:14It's right.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Now then, ten is our only score so far.
0:06:19 > 0:06:2117 for Harriet Harman.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23APPLAUSE
0:06:24 > 0:06:27Again another acting leader so a terrific answer.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30Well done. She's been an MP for over 30 years now, Harriet Harman.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33- Thanks, Richard. Nigel. - Hello there.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35- Nigel, hello there. You're from Peterborough.- Yes.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38- What do you do? - I'm a host on a TV shopping channel.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Oh, now that's got to be fun, hasn't it!
0:06:41 > 0:06:45We have an actual professional in the studio.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48For the first time in over 500 episodes.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51- It's nice to be here. - We have an actual professional.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53- Someone who knows what they're doing.- Oh!
0:06:53 > 0:06:55- What about that! - I did learn a lot from you two.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59- Yeah. - What kind of shopping is it?
0:06:59 > 0:07:03We sell different kind of things. Craft, DIY, fitness, health, beauty, fashion.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07- And do you demonstrate?- We have experts. Sometimes we have to demonstrate.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Which can be hazardous to say the least.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11- Wow. - But it's fun.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14It's fun. Surely it's that.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Now, talking of fun, what about this board?
0:07:16 > 0:07:19This is my idea of not fun.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23If I could pick a top subject not to have it would be this one.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26So I'm going to try and go back to my youth and think,
0:07:26 > 0:07:30OK, my vague interest in politics, what do I know?
0:07:30 > 0:07:36So I'm going to go for the person that served as the leader of the opposition from '83 to '92.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40And I'm going to keep my fingers crossed that it was Neil Kinnock.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44The only reason I'm saying that is because I saw him in a pop video once.
0:07:44 > 0:07:49OK, leader of the opposition from 1983 to 1992.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Let's see if that's right and if it is let's see how many people said Neil Kinnock.
0:07:54 > 0:07:55It's right.
0:07:59 > 0:08:0123!
0:08:02 > 0:08:0323 for Neil Kinnock.
0:08:06 > 0:08:07Well played, Nigel.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11It's often the case that it's quite panicky and then you have to focus in on the one that you know.
0:08:11 > 0:08:16Terrific answer. His daughter-in-law is now the first female Danish prime minister.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Yes, that's right. Yeah. Thank you very much.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21Now then, Sion.
0:08:23 > 0:08:24- Welcome back. - Thank you.
0:08:24 > 0:08:29You had a bit of a trumpet call there from Richard at the top of the show.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33- Are you going to be able to live up to it?- I hope so.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36I hope so too. It's not a terrible board.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39- I think it's OK. - For somebody who works in politics.
0:08:39 > 0:08:43Well, you administrate politics, I should say.
0:08:43 > 0:08:49Now, Sion, in your spare time, what do you like to get up to?
0:08:49 > 0:08:51I'm a big football and rugby fan.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54So I do a lot of socialising and watch the big games on TV.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57Or in the pub.
0:08:57 > 0:08:58Very good.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Sion, what are you going to go for?
0:09:00 > 0:09:03We want the names of the politicians described by these clues.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05I'm going to go for the second one.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08I remember Rory Bremner making fun of this gentleman.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11- I think it's Michael Howard. - Michael Howard, says Sion.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said Michael Howard.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20Absolutely right. 23's our high score. Ten is our low.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25You passed 23. You passed ten! You go down to one! Look at that!
0:09:25 > 0:09:26Very well done indeed.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28APPLAUSE
0:09:28 > 0:09:31There's nothing of the night about that. One.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37That's a very good answer. Very well played. It's been a good round.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41That's capped it all. A very accomplished ping-pong player, Michael Howard.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45- Is he?- Yeah. Let's take a look at the rest of these.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Now, former foreign secretary made a dame in the 2013 year's honours
0:09:48 > 0:09:51is Margaret Beckett.
0:09:51 > 0:09:52Would have scored you five points.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56In 2010 beat his brother to the leadership is obviously Ed Miliband.
0:09:56 > 0:09:57Would have scored you 66.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01And the Labour leader elected in 1981 is Michael Foot.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03He would have scored you ten points.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Very well done to anyone who got all of those.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07That's impressive going.
0:10:07 > 0:10:11Thanks very much. We're halfway through the round. Let's look at the scores.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13One, the best score, Sion, very well done indeed.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Then up to ten, Doug. Good answering there.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Up to 17 where we find Sophie and Wendy
0:10:19 > 0:10:21then up to 23 where we find Nigel and Gary.
0:10:21 > 0:10:25Now, Gary, this is where we need some brilliant answering from you.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27A nice low score will keep you in the game. Best of luck.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31We'll come back down the line now. Can the second players take their places.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37OK, let's put seven more clues up on the board. Here they come.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03I'll read those all one last time.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30There we are. We are looking for the names of the politicians described by those clues.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34And Enfys, you're going to try and find the one you think the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38We discovered last time that you also work in the Welsh civil service.
0:11:38 > 0:11:42What I want to know is this. Where does Enfys come from?
0:11:42 > 0:11:44It's a Welsh word, it means rainbow.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46Does it? Ah, that's nice!
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Is it a common Welsh name?
0:11:48 > 0:11:51I wouldn't say it's common. It's not like a hippy name!
0:11:51 > 0:11:54- It's not a hippy name.- It's not like calling your child rainbow in English.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Whoa, whoa, whoa!
0:11:57 > 0:11:59LAUGHTER
0:11:59 > 0:12:01If you're watching, Rainbow, I'm so sorry.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03LAUGHTER
0:12:04 > 0:12:06It's a lovely name. Our first Enfys on Pointless.
0:12:06 > 0:12:11Now then, what are you going to go for? You're the low scorers on one.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13If you want to remain low scorers,
0:12:13 > 0:12:17you want to score 21 or less with your answer. I think you can do it.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21I feel like I should know more than what I do, to be honest.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24But I'm going to go for the bottom one.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27- And I'm going to say William Hague. - William Hague, says Enfys.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31Let's see if that's right and if it is let's see how many people said William Hague.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Absolutely right, William Hague.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39You are through to the next round. Well done.
0:12:39 > 0:12:4211 points for William Hague, takes your total to 12.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48Well played. He was 36 when he became Tory leader.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51The youngest Tory leader since Pitt the Younger.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55Now then, Gary. Go, Gary. You're still the high scorers.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Welcome to the show. What do you do?
0:12:57 > 0:13:00I earn a living by telling Nigel what to do.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03Amongst other people basically.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Right, so you whisper things into his ear?
0:13:05 > 0:13:09- I'm a director for the same channels as Nigel.- Good stuff.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11What are you going for on that board? Is this good for you?
0:13:11 > 0:13:13No, I'm taking an educated guess.
0:13:13 > 0:13:19Chancellor of the exchequer, I think this might have been about the time of the NHS starting.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22So I'm going to take a punt on that one. I'm going to say Aneurin Bevan.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Aneurin Bevan, says Gary.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27Let's see if that's right and if it is how many people said it.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29No red line as you are the high scorers.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Oh, bad luck, Gary!
0:13:34 > 0:13:37It was a good guess but I'm afraid you really are the high scorers now.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41That scores you the maximum of 100 points. Sorry about that.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45Absolutely the right era and the right party but was never chancellor and never led the Labour Party.
0:13:45 > 0:13:50Thanks very much indeed. Now then, Wendy.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52Wendy, welcome to the show. What do you do, Wendy?
0:13:52 > 0:13:55I'm an investigator. I work for the local government ombudsman.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58I investigate complaints against councils.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Primarily to do with children's services and schools.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04You get right to the bottom of things. You find out all the nitty gritty.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06- And we tell them off. - Yeah.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08OK, well, the good news is you're through.
0:14:08 > 0:14:13I'm afraid Gary and Nigel are so far ahead no one's going to catch up with them.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16But I think you'll probably have a good answer from this board.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20I was panicking when it first came up. I liked the first board very much.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23I thought all the people I think I know.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26I'm going to go for the former Olympic athlete.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28And say Menzies Campbell.
0:14:28 > 0:14:29Ming Campbell, says Wendy.
0:14:29 > 0:14:33Let's see if that's right and if it is how many people said it. No red line as you're through.
0:14:34 > 0:14:35That's absolutely right.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44Wow, look at that for a low score! Eight! Very well done indeed.
0:14:44 > 0:14:45APPLAUSE
0:14:48 > 0:14:53He ran the 200 metres and the 4x100 metre relay at the Tokyo Olympics.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56He was British record holder for the 100 metres for quite some while.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59- 10.2 seconds. - That's impressive.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01- That is fleet. - It is fleet of foot.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03Yeah.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06- Now then, Huw.- Alexander. - Huw, good to have you here.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09You're also a student at Manchester. What are you reading?
0:15:09 > 0:15:11Politics and economics.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13ALEXANDER STUTTERS
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Should be good, yeah.
0:15:15 > 0:15:19Politics and economics, you surely know who the chancellor of the exchequer was from '50 to '51.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21I actually don't.
0:15:21 > 0:15:22LAUGHTER
0:15:22 > 0:15:24I'd love to say I knew them all.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27You're coming to the end of your course. What are you going to do?
0:15:27 > 0:15:31I'm going to move back home and get a job for a bit then go travelling.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35Good idea. And then knuckle down in a year's time.
0:15:35 > 0:15:36- Yeah, something like that. - OK.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38So who are these politicians?
0:15:38 > 0:15:42This board is all yours. Why not take us through as much of it as you dare.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44Don't dare take through much at all.
0:15:44 > 0:15:49I know Nick Clegg's deputy prime minister but I think I'll go for Charles Kennedy.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51The host of Have I Got News For You.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54Charles Kennedy. No red line for you as you're already through.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57Let's see how many of our 100 people said Charles Kennedy.
0:15:59 > 0:16:00It's right.
0:16:05 > 0:16:0716!
0:16:07 > 0:16:10Not a bad score at all. Takes your total up to 26.
0:16:13 > 0:16:17He became an MP at 23, Charles Kennedy. That's not bad going.
0:16:17 > 0:16:2016 points for him. Let's look through the rest.
0:16:20 > 0:16:25The Labour chancellor for '50 to '51 was Hugh Gaitskell.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28And he was a pointless answer so well done if you said that.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31That was a tough one to have a punt on.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33The former royal marine was Paddy Ashdown, of course.
0:16:34 > 0:16:39Would have scored you 33. The shadow chancellor was John Smith.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Would have scored you two points.
0:16:41 > 0:16:45Now, became deputy prime minister in May 2010.
0:16:45 > 0:16:46- So the answer is Nick Clegg. - Yeah.
0:16:46 > 0:16:51- What do you think that would score? - Probably going to be...67.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53If only.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57- Really?- It's 34 points that would have scored you.
0:16:57 > 0:17:0034 points.
0:17:00 > 0:17:01Oh!
0:17:02 > 0:17:07- He should host I've Got News For You.- He certainly should.
0:17:07 > 0:17:12Thank you very much. At the end of our first round the pair leaving us with a high score of 123,
0:17:12 > 0:17:14I'm afraid, Gary and Nigel.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16I think it's fair to say politics really not your forte.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Pesky politicians.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21I'm sorry we threw that at you first thing.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24Someone had to leave at the end of this round and it's you
0:17:24 > 0:17:25but we'll see you again next time.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28Gary and Nigel, thanks very much for playing meanwhile.
0:17:28 > 0:17:29APPLAUSE
0:17:31 > 0:17:34For the three remaining pairs it's now time for round two.
0:17:39 > 0:17:43Only three pairs remain and obviously at the end of this round we'll say goodbye to another pair.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47Enfys and Sion, on back of that round, I don't think it's going to be you.
0:17:47 > 0:17:52You were highly talented at the beginning. Our rainbow alliance on the last podium.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54Doing fantastically well.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58Huw and Doug, I think you were just the highest scoring pair.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00But I think it's going to be very close.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03Best of luck to all three pairs. Our category for round two...
0:18:05 > 0:18:09Can you all decide who's going to go first, who's going to go second.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12Whoever's going first please step up to the podium.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17And the question concerns...
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Chart-topping songs. Richard.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24In a moment Xander's going to show you a list of six hit songs.
0:18:24 > 0:18:28All of these have been number one at least twice by different artists.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30We need you to give us the name of any artist
0:18:30 > 0:18:34who has had a number one single with any of the songs you're about to see.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38UK number one single with any of the songs you're about to see. Very best of luck.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42OK, so we're going to put the names of six songs up on the board.
0:18:42 > 0:18:47They're going to remain up there for the whole round. They won't be changing halfway through.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51You have to name any act who's had a UK number one single
0:18:51 > 0:18:54with any of these songs and here are the songs.
0:19:03 > 0:19:04I'll read those one last time.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12- Now then, Doug. - Yeah.
0:19:12 > 0:19:16- How you feeling about this? - Similar to the last round, I think.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19- That's good.- I've got an answer or two but I'm not sure they'll be that good.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22I'm going to hope that the 100 people who were asked are with me
0:19:22 > 0:19:26and say Steps had a UK number one with Tragedy.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28OK, Steps, says Doug.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Steps. Let's see if the 100 are with Doug or not.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33Steps. How many of our 100 people said it?
0:19:36 > 0:19:37It's right.
0:19:40 > 0:19:4237!
0:19:42 > 0:19:43APPLAUSE
0:19:46 > 0:19:48- Could be OK. - Their first UK number one.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50Double A side with Heartbeat.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53Thanks, Richard. Now, Sophie.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57This isn't too bad. There's two I'm toying between, which should both be all right.
0:19:57 > 0:20:01I think I'll go Eternal Flame, Atomic Kitten.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04Atomic Kitten for Eternal Flame says Sophie.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07Let's see if that's right and how many people said it if it is.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11It is right.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17It beats 37. Still going down. Ten! Very well done indeed.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22Great answer. Atomic Kitten.
0:20:22 > 0:20:27Their version was number one in 2001. It was their second number one single after Whole Again.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Thanks very much. Now then, Enfys.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33We want the name of any act that's had a UK number one with any of these songs.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37Not great with music cos I can never remember the names of songs.
0:20:37 > 0:20:41- So...- You don't have to now, the songs are up there.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43I've got the name but...
0:20:43 > 0:20:47So I think I'm going to go with Tragedy as well but I'm going to go with The Bee Gees.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49The Bee Gees, says Enfys.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52Let's see if that's right and if it is how many people said The Bee Gees.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56It's right.
0:20:59 > 0:21:0248. That's a high score. 48 for The Bee Gees.
0:21:04 > 0:21:09It's high but it's a lot better than 100. It reached number one in 1979.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12That's the original version. Number one in the States as well.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at our scores.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16Ten the best score, Sophie. Well done.
0:21:16 > 0:21:21Then up to 37 where we find Doug and Huw then 48 where Enfys and Sion are.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25So Sion, we need a low score from you in the next pass.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28We're going to come back down the line now. Can the second players step up.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34OK, Sion, as I said you're the highest scorer.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37We need something special from you here.
0:21:37 > 0:21:41We're after any act that's had a UK number one with any of these songs.
0:21:41 > 0:21:45I'm going with Eternal Flame. I'm going to go with The Bangles?
0:21:45 > 0:21:49The Bangles, says Sion. Good answer. Let's see if it's right and how many people said it.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51No red line for you as you are the high scorers at the moment.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55It's right.
0:21:57 > 0:21:5941!
0:22:01 > 0:22:03Oh!
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Bad luck. I thought that was going to go lower than ten.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08Bad luck. Takes your total up to 89.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10The Bangles was the original version.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12They had nine top 40 hits, that was their only number one.
0:22:12 > 0:22:16Right, fair enough. Now then, Wendy.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19Wendy, you're on ten. Sion and Enfys are on 89.
0:22:19 > 0:22:23If you can score 78 or less, you're through to the head to head.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27There are two that I'm confident that I know.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30But I'm not very sure they'll be low scorers.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32I'm going to go with one of those.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36And I'm going to go with Unchained Melody. The Righteous Brothers.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38The Righteous Brothers, says Wendy.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40There's your red line, it's nice and high.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44Let's see if The Righteous Brothers gets you below that red line.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49It's absolutely right and you are through. Very well done.
0:22:50 > 0:22:5334.
0:22:53 > 0:22:5544 your total.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Good work, Wendy.
0:22:57 > 0:23:02Yes, they first released it in 1965. But it wasn't number one until 1990.
0:23:02 > 0:23:06- I remember it well! - It was featured on Ghost.- '65!
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Thanks very much indeed.
0:23:08 > 0:23:13Now then, Huw. You're on 37. The high scorers are still Sion and Enfys on 89.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16If you can score 51 or less, you're in the head to head.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18I think I'm going to go with Somethin' Stupid.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22I'll go for the more recent one which was Robbie Williams and Nicole Kidman.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Robbie Williams and Nicole Kidman, says Huw.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27Get below the red line, you're in the head to head.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30Let's see how many people said Robbie Williams and Nicole Kidman.
0:23:31 > 0:23:32It's right.
0:23:35 > 0:23:36Very well done, you're through.
0:23:37 > 0:23:3919!
0:23:39 > 0:23:40Good score.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43That takes your total up to 56.
0:23:44 > 0:23:48Well played, that was Christmas number one in 2001. Somethin' Stupid.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51There's no pointless answers, there's a one pointer.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55Lovely Sam and Mark had a number one hit with With A Little Help From My Friends. Would have scored one.
0:23:55 > 0:24:00Jimmy Young had a number one hit with Unchained Melody. That would have scored you five.
0:24:00 > 0:24:05Mariah Carey had a number one with Without You. Would have scored nine points.
0:24:05 > 0:24:09Other scorers you could have had. Also for Without You, Nilsson. Would have scored you 18 points.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12With A Little Help From My Friends, Joe Cocker, would have scored you 14.
0:24:12 > 0:24:18Wet Wet Wet 19. Beatles never had a number one hit with it so that would have been an incorrect answer.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21For Unchained Melody, Gareth Gates would have scored you nine.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25And Robson and Jerome would have scored you 30. They both had number one singles with that.
0:24:25 > 0:24:30And Somethin' Stupid, the older version, Nancy Sinatra, Frank Sinatra, would have scored you 18.
0:24:30 > 0:24:31So would have been a similar score.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33The top three we've already heard.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Steps with Tragedy, 37.
0:24:35 > 0:24:40The Bangles with Eternal Flame, 41. The Bee Gees, Tragedy, 48.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44Thanks very much. So at the end of our second round 89 is the high score.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47I'm afraid that means we have to say goodbye to Sion and Enfys.
0:24:47 > 0:24:51The hot favourites coming into the show today!
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Did you know any of those lower scoring ones?
0:24:53 > 0:24:55I have heard of Sam and Mark!
0:24:55 > 0:24:57You would have been fine if you'd gone for that.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00I could remember Sam, I couldn't remember the other one.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03Poor Mark. If you're watching, Mark, I'm really sorry.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06They've been on the show. They're lovely.
0:25:06 > 0:25:11We have to say goodbye. It's been great having you on both shows. Brilliant performance.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14Thanks very much for playing. Sion and Enfys.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17APPLAUSE
0:25:17 > 0:25:20But for the remaining two pairs it's now time for the head to head.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28Congratulations, Sophie and Wendy, Huw and Doug.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30You're now one step closer to the final
0:25:30 > 0:25:33and a chance to play for our jackpot which currently stands at £5,000.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36- AUDIENCE:- Woo!
0:25:37 > 0:25:39We have to decide who plays for that money.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42To do that you now go head to head but the big difference is you're allowed to confer.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45The first pair to win two questions will play for the money.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48Sophie and Wendy, very well done. You've seen off our hot favourites.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51- I know. - Huw and Doug, very well done.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head to head.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01OK, here is your first question.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03And it concerns...
0:26:05 > 0:26:07First editions. Richard.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10We're going to show you the covers of five first editions of novels.
0:26:10 > 0:26:14We've taken the title away from the cover. Can you tell us the titles, please?
0:26:14 > 0:26:18OK, let's reveal our five first editions. We have got...
0:26:33 > 0:26:36There we are, five first editions.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39Now, Sophie and Wendy, you've played best so far so you go first.
0:26:45 > 0:26:50- Ok, there's three that I know. - We know.- We know.
0:26:51 > 0:26:52She happens to know them as well!
0:26:52 > 0:26:56There's one I could guess at from the author but I'm not going to.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00So we're going to go for A, Aldous Huxley's Brave New World.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03Brave New World you're going to say for A.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05Now Huw and Doug, can you talk us through the others?
0:27:05 > 0:27:08Volunteer an answer for each of them maybe?
0:27:08 > 0:27:12Not through the rest of them, no. I think we know C and D.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16C is Great Gatsby and D is Lord Of The Flies.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19I think we'll go for C, Great Gatsby.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21OK, C, Great Gatsby.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23Sophie and Wendy have said Brave New World.
0:27:23 > 0:27:27Let's see if that's right and if it is how many of our 100 people said Brave New World.
0:27:29 > 0:27:30It's right.
0:27:34 > 0:27:3529.
0:27:37 > 0:27:3829 for Brave New World.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41Huw and Doug have gone for The Great Gatsby.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44Let's see if that's right and if it is how many people said that.
0:27:45 > 0:27:46It's right.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49It's got to beat 29.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52And it does! Look at that, 22.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57Surprising result there.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00But well done, Huw and Doug. It means after one question, you are up one nil. Richard.
0:28:00 > 0:28:01Very well played.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05All five of these were up for auction at Bloomsbury Auctions in 2012.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08The Great Gatsby went for £50,000.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11£50,000 for that first edition.
0:28:11 > 0:28:15Brave New World was £4,200, which now sounds cheap.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17Now B was The Maltese Falcon.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19That would have scored you four points.
0:28:19 > 0:28:25D is Lord Of The Flies, would have been too big a score, would have scored you 34.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29- And E is the best answer. What would you guess?- I would go Scoop.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32It's not Scoop. It's Vile Bodies.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34One point if you said that. Very well played.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37- That went for eight grand. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39So here comes your second question.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41Sophie and Wendy, you have to win this to stay in the game.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43It concerns...
0:28:46 > 0:28:48Darts. Richard.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50Staying in the area of high culture here.
0:28:50 > 0:28:53We're going to give you five clues to facts about the sport of darts.
0:28:53 > 0:28:55Can you give us the best answer, please.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58OK, let's reveal our five clues and here they are.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16I'll read those all one last time.
0:29:30 > 0:29:35Five clues to facts about darts. Huw and Doug, you go first.
0:29:36 > 0:29:38I think we know them all
0:29:38 > 0:29:42but I think we'll go for the commentator who acted as scorer on Bullseye.
0:29:42 > 0:29:46- Sid Waddell.- Sid Waddell, say Huw and Doug. Sid Waddell.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49Sophie and Wendy, the board is yours.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52We don't go to play darts very often.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55A certain auntie had a dalliance with a dart player but it doesn't help this.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57LAUGHTER
0:29:59 > 0:30:02I know the top one. Points on the outer bull.
0:30:02 > 0:30:06You said was double but outer bull is 25.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08It's the oche.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11Phil "The Power" Taylor for the 16 world dart titles?
0:30:11 > 0:30:13We could risk Phil "The Power" Taylor
0:30:13 > 0:30:16- cos we're probably not going to beat that anyway.- Yeah, go on.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19Yeah, we'll risk that because I don't think we're going to beat...
0:30:19 > 0:30:22You thought that was right. I thought it was Tony something.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25Cos Peter Kay does a thing about the big capital D.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28It's half in my mind but he's maybe not the commentator.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31So winner of 16 world darts titles,
0:30:31 > 0:30:34I'm going to guess Phil "The Power" Taylor.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36Phil "The Power" Taylor, say Sophie and Wendy.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38So Huw and Dough have said Sid Waddell.
0:30:38 > 0:30:43Let's see if that's right and if it is let's see how many people said Sid Waddell.
0:30:45 > 0:30:46Oh!
0:30:47 > 0:30:49I'm afraid an incorrect answer. Not Sid Waddell.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52Maybe you were right, Sophie.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54Anyway, you've gone for Phil "The Power" Taylor.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57Let's see if that's right and if it is how many people said it.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59All it has to be is right to win the point.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01- It's right. - Yes!
0:31:01 > 0:31:03- Phew! - Very well done indeed.
0:31:05 > 0:31:0727 for Phil "The Power" Taylor.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10But more importantly it was right.
0:31:10 > 0:31:14Which means, Sophie and Wendy, you're back in the game. After two questions it's one all.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17You absolutely owned the darts round there, Sophie, well done.
0:31:17 > 0:31:21You're right about the commentator. It's Tony Green.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23Was the Bullseye commentator. Tony Green.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25He would have scored you 14 points.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27It would have been a terrific answer.
0:31:27 > 0:31:32Points for the outer bull, 25, but that would have scored 75.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34One word name is the oche, would have scored you 66.
0:31:34 > 0:31:38What would you have gone for the player who hit the first televised nine dart finish?
0:31:38 > 0:31:41I was thinking it was Raymond Barneveld but I think that's wrong now.
0:31:41 > 0:31:43It's John Lowe was the answer.
0:31:43 > 0:31:45So a long time before Raymond Van Barneveld's time.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47Seven points, best answer up there.
0:31:47 > 0:31:49Very well done to anyone who got all five.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51Thanks very much indeed.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53So here comes your third question. This is the decider.
0:31:53 > 0:31:57Whoever wins this goes through to the final. It concerns...
0:32:00 > 0:32:01Marlon Brando films. Richard.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04We're going to give you the titles of five Marlon Brando films
0:32:04 > 0:32:06but with alternate letters removed.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09Can you fill them in and give us the most obscure. Good luck.
0:32:09 > 0:32:13Let's reveal our five Marlon Brando films with bits missing. Here they are.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43I'll read those one last time without the blanks. Phew.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00There we are, five Marlon Brando films.
0:33:00 > 0:33:01Sophie and Wendy, you go first.
0:33:03 > 0:33:07I know all but one and I could guess the one I don't know.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09- We- know all but one!
0:33:10 > 0:33:13I'm going to go second from the bottom, On The Waterfront.
0:33:13 > 0:33:17On The Waterfront, say Sophie and Wendy.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19Now, Huw and Doug, talk us through the board.
0:33:19 > 0:33:23The middle one is at the back of my mind and on the tip of my tongue.
0:33:23 > 0:33:26I can't bring them together and give you a name.
0:33:26 > 0:33:31The top one is Guys And Dolls and the second one down is The Wild One.
0:33:31 > 0:33:34As for the bottom one, I'm not sure.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37I think maybe The Wild One might be best out of the two.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39Yeah. We'll go for The Wild One.
0:33:39 > 0:33:42OK, The Wild One say Huw and Doug.
0:33:42 > 0:33:45So we have On The Waterfront and we have The Wild One.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47Sophie and Wendy have said On The Waterfront.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50Let's see if that's right and let's see how many people said On The Waterfront.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59On The Waterfront absolutely right. Scoring 37.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06Huw and Doug have gone for The Wild One.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08Is it too late to change our answer?
0:34:08 > 0:34:11- Have you just spotted another one? - A Streetcar Named Desire.
0:34:11 > 0:34:17We've got The Wild One. Let's see if that's right and if it is how many people said The Wild One.
0:34:19 > 0:34:20It's right.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23Got to beat 37 though.
0:34:23 > 0:34:24And it does! Look at that!
0:34:25 > 0:34:28And how! Five for The Wild One!
0:34:31 > 0:34:33You were right first time.
0:34:33 > 0:34:37Can I just say, I watched that a couple of weeks ago for one of my seminars at university.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40- There you are.- You do get something out of university.
0:34:40 > 0:34:45Very well done. After three questions you are through to the final, two one. Good performance.
0:34:45 > 0:34:50Well played, Huw and Doug. I think you knew all five but you chose the biggest scorer on the board.
0:34:50 > 0:34:55On The Waterfront. Guys And Dolls would have scored you 31.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58A Streetcar Named Desire would have scored you 15.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01- What do you think the bottom one is? - Mutiny On The Bounty.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03Mutiny On The Bounty for 11.
0:35:05 > 0:35:09Thanks very much. The end of our head to head round.
0:35:09 > 0:35:11The pair leaving us, Sophie and Wendy.
0:35:11 > 0:35:14Really well played. An exciting head to head.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16As I suspected it would be.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19But we get to see you again next time. We look forward to that.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21Thanks for playing. Sophie and Wendy.
0:35:21 > 0:35:23APPLAUSE
0:35:24 > 0:35:26But for Huw and Doug it's time for our Pointless final.
0:35:31 > 0:35:32Congratulations, Huw and Doug.
0:35:32 > 0:35:35You fought off all the competition
0:35:35 > 0:35:37and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy so very well done.
0:35:43 > 0:35:45You now have a chance to win our jackpot.
0:35:45 > 0:35:49At the end of today's show the jackpot stands at £5,000.
0:35:49 > 0:35:50APPLAUSE
0:35:51 > 0:35:55I'm glad you've come through to the finals.
0:35:55 > 0:35:58I was feeling guilty that you were spending precious hours
0:35:58 > 0:36:01away from your revision before your finals.
0:36:01 > 0:36:04As always, you start this round by making a choice.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07You have to choose a category. Here are your four options. They are...
0:36:16 > 0:36:20German sport. Football, tennis, anything like that.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23Ancient Rome, if we took that, my mum would slaughter me if we didn't win it.
0:36:23 > 0:36:27- We'll go German sport. - You're going to go German sport.
0:36:27 > 0:36:29Is your mum a specialist on Ancient Rome?
0:36:29 > 0:36:31- She's a classics teacher, yeah. - OK, right.
0:36:31 > 0:36:35Yeah, she would slaughter you. So we'll go with German sport.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37Going to give you three categories now.
0:36:37 > 0:36:40If you know sport, there should be something to suit you.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42We are looking for the name of...
0:36:44 > 0:36:47German drivers taking part in the Formula 1 world championship.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59Since the very first Wimbledon way back in 1877.
0:37:06 > 0:37:10Very best of luck. Best of luck at home as well. Lots of pointless answers there.
0:37:10 > 0:37:14Thanks very much. You've got up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17To win that jackpot, £5,000, remember. Nice jackpot.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20Only one of your answers needs to be pointless.
0:37:20 > 0:37:23The answers you give can come from any of these three categories.
0:37:23 > 0:37:27It's entirely up to you which category. You can have three from one, one from each.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29- Are you ready? - Yeah.
0:37:29 > 0:37:33OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock. Your time starts now.
0:37:33 > 0:37:38I've got Timo Gluck. Adrian Sutil. And Grand Slam, Michael Stich.
0:37:38 > 0:37:40They're the three I can think of.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42- Michael Stich. - Stich.
0:37:42 > 0:37:46Timo Glock's the first one I thought. I think he's German.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48Michael Stich.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50Can you think of any more tennis players?
0:37:58 > 0:38:00Steffi Graf. That's too much.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07What about gold medal-winning sports? We could just...
0:38:07 > 0:38:10- It's too much of a guess. - We could guess.
0:38:10 > 0:38:14We should go for three we know as opposed to guessing.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16Timo, Sutil, Stich.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25Ten seconds left.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33I can't... We'll go for those.
0:38:33 > 0:38:36OK, that's your time up. I now need your three answers.
0:38:36 > 0:38:40We're going to go two German F1 drivers.
0:38:40 > 0:38:43- And say Timo Glock and Adrian Sutil. - Timo Glock.
0:38:43 > 0:38:44And Adrian Sutil.
0:38:44 > 0:38:48And German Grand Slam tennis winner Michael Stich.
0:38:48 > 0:38:49Michael Stich.
0:38:49 > 0:38:53Of those three, which would you say was your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:53 > 0:38:56- Michael Stich. - Michael Stich we'll put last.
0:38:56 > 0:39:00- Which is your least likely? - Timo Glock.
0:39:00 > 0:39:01Timo Glock. OK, there we are.
0:39:01 > 0:39:05Let's pop them on the board in that order and here they are. We have got...
0:39:09 > 0:39:12Very best of luck. Three good answers up there.
0:39:12 > 0:39:14Your first answer was Timo Glock.
0:39:14 > 0:39:17If this is correct and pointless you will leave here with £5,000.
0:39:17 > 0:39:21- What will you do with that?- I've got an extravagant summer lined up.
0:39:21 > 0:39:24I'm going to Venice. Try and save it for after exams.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26OK, very good, well said. What about you, Doug?
0:39:26 > 0:39:30I've always wanted to go to The Ashes in Australia.
0:39:30 > 0:39:34And I think I might have to put it towards that.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36OK, very good. Three brilliant answers.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39Let's hope at least one is pointless and wins that money for you.
0:39:39 > 0:39:41Your first answer, Timo Glock.
0:39:41 > 0:39:45Let's see if it's right. If it's pointless, it will win you £5,000.
0:39:45 > 0:39:49Is Timo Glock a German Formula 1 Grand Prix driver?
0:39:51 > 0:39:53Yes he is, is the answer. I think we probably knew that.
0:39:53 > 0:39:57But down he goes, taking us down through the 50s into the 40s, 30s.
0:39:57 > 0:40:00Into the 20s. Down through the teens.
0:40:00 > 0:40:04We're into single figures. Down we go. Still going down. Three! This is great.
0:40:04 > 0:40:05APPLAUSE
0:40:05 > 0:40:07This is very good.
0:40:09 > 0:40:10That's a great answer.
0:40:10 > 0:40:12Three.
0:40:12 > 0:40:16You were fairly unanimous that was going to be your highest scoring of your three answers.
0:40:16 > 0:40:20It scored three. It's all looking very good for your subsequent answers.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23Your next answer was Adrian Sutil.
0:40:23 > 0:40:27Let's see again. If this is correct and it's pointless it will win you that jackpot.
0:40:27 > 0:40:32For £5,000, is Adrian Sutil a German Formula 1 Grand Prix driver?
0:40:34 > 0:40:36Yes, he is.
0:40:36 > 0:40:39Now, Timo Glock took you down to three.
0:40:39 > 0:40:44Adrian Sutil taking you down through the teens into single figures.
0:40:44 > 0:40:47Is this going to go to pointless? It's still going down. One!
0:40:47 > 0:40:48OK, one.
0:40:48 > 0:40:50APPLAUSE
0:40:56 > 0:41:01If we continue in this progression, surely your next answer is going to be pointless.
0:41:01 > 0:41:04You were confident it was your best shot at a pointless answer.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06Everything is now riding on Michael Stich.
0:41:06 > 0:41:11So for £5,000, let's hope he is a Grand Slam winner.
0:41:11 > 0:41:14Let's find out. Michael Stich, is it right, is it pointless?
0:41:16 > 0:41:17It's absolutely right.
0:41:17 > 0:41:21OK, your first answer, Timo Glock, took you down to three.
0:41:21 > 0:41:24Adrian Sutil took you down to one.
0:41:24 > 0:41:26Michael Stich, the one you thought was your best shot...
0:41:26 > 0:41:28- AUDIENCE:- Oh!
0:41:33 > 0:41:35- Oh well. - Oh, bad luck.
0:41:37 > 0:41:39That is really harsh.
0:41:39 > 0:41:41Oh dear, I'm really sorry.
0:41:41 > 0:41:44You didn't find that all-important pointless answer.
0:41:44 > 0:41:46Which means you don't win today's jackpot of £5,000.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48That's going to roll over on to the next show.
0:41:48 > 0:41:52But we enjoyed having you on the show. And you do take home a Pointless trophy.
0:41:52 > 0:41:54All is not lost. Very well done.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56APPLAUSE
0:41:57 > 0:42:00It's very nice to see students come along and play so well.
0:42:00 > 0:42:05Very well done. The Formula 1 is where the pointless answers are.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07There's four pointless answers.
0:42:08 > 0:42:11Won three Grand Prix. He was a pointless answer.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14The son of Manfred Winkelhock.
0:42:14 > 0:42:18Only raced him in one Formula 1 race. Some people might have got him.
0:42:22 > 0:42:24A lot of people would have got him.
0:42:31 > 0:42:35And very well done to anybody who got any of these German tennis players.
0:42:35 > 0:42:38The Wimbledon winner from 1931, Cilly Aussem.
0:42:38 > 0:42:43You could have had Gottfried Von Cramm, who won the French Open in '34 and '36.
0:42:43 > 0:42:47And the French Open is '37 was of course Henner Henkel.
0:42:47 > 0:42:51So tough luck. I think perhaps on the Formula 1 you could have got something.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54But very well played and we wish you success in your finals.
0:42:54 > 0:42:57Thanks very much, Richard.
0:42:57 > 0:43:01We have to say goodbye to you, Huw and Doug, but we loved having you on the show. You did a brilliant job.
0:43:01 > 0:43:05Very best of luck with your finals. Thank you so much for playing. Huw and Doug!
0:43:05 > 0:43:07APPLAUSE
0:43:09 > 0:43:10Huw and Doug didn't win our jackpot
0:43:10 > 0:43:15which means it rolls over on to the next show when we'll be playing for £6,000.
0:43:15 > 0:43:17- AUDIENCE:- Woo!
0:43:17 > 0:43:20Join us next time. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.
0:43:20 > 0:43:22- Goodbye. - And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
