0:00:18 > 0:00:20APPLAUSE

0:00:23 > 0:00:25Thank you very much indeed. Hello. I'm Alexander Armstrong.

0:00:25 > 0:00:28Welcome to Pointless, the quiz show that puts obscure knowledge to the test.

0:00:28 > 0:00:30Let's meet today's players.

0:00:35 > 0:00:37And couple number one.

0:00:37 > 0:00:40I'm Gary and this is my colleague Nigel, and we're from Peterborough.

0:00:40 > 0:00:45- Couple number two.- I'm Wendy. I live in Kent, and this is my daughter Sophie. She lives in London.

0:00:45 > 0:00:48- Couple number three.- Hello. I'm Wendy. This is my husband Magnus.

0:00:48 > 0:00:51- We come from Bexhill in Sussex.- And finally, couple number four.

0:00:51 > 0:00:56Hi. I'm Alex. This is my housemate and compadre Anna, and we're from Brighton.

0:00:56 > 0:00:58And these are today's contestants.

0:00:58 > 0:01:00APPLAUSE

0:01:01 > 0:01:04Thanks, all of you. We'll find out more about you throughout the show as it goes along.

0:01:04 > 0:01:07So that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.

0:01:07 > 0:01:10All of your answers are on the tip of his tongue - a forked, ten-foot tongue

0:01:10 > 0:01:12that's currently rolled up in his mouth.

0:01:12 > 0:01:14- It's my Pointless friend. It's Richard.- Hiya.

0:01:16 > 0:01:18Hi, everybody. Hiya.

0:01:21 > 0:01:24- How are you this afternoon?- I'm very well, thank you.- It's going to be a cracking show.

0:01:24 > 0:01:27We've got two returning pairs, both of whom were unluckily knocked out.

0:01:27 > 0:01:30We've got Nigel and Gary. We've also got Sophie and Wendy.

0:01:30 > 0:01:32I think they're going to be forces to be reckoned with.

0:01:32 > 0:01:35We've got our country cousins there on podium four.

0:01:35 > 0:01:38And on podium three we've got Magnus, who I used to go to school with.

0:01:40 > 0:01:42- I know, right.- What about that!

0:01:42 > 0:01:44We had a teacher from Warden Park School on the other day.

0:01:44 > 0:01:47Now we've got an ex-pupil, and I'm an ex-pupil.

0:01:47 > 0:01:49Didn't do anybody any good, I have to say.

0:01:49 > 0:01:51They got knocked out in Round One both times.

0:01:51 > 0:01:53They did, but for the right reasons.

0:01:53 > 0:01:56If you even get to Round Two, you'll be the first person ever from Warden Park

0:01:56 > 0:01:59- to get through a round of Pointless. - No pressure!

0:01:59 > 0:02:02In fact, Wendy, you were there too, but a few years above me.

0:02:02 > 0:02:04Thank you for that.

0:02:04 > 0:02:06I'm sorry.

0:02:08 > 0:02:11Thanks very much indeed. All our questions as ever on Pointless

0:02:11 > 0:02:13have been put to 100 people before the show.

0:02:13 > 0:02:16Our contestants need to find the obscure answers those 100 people didn't get.

0:02:16 > 0:02:20Of course, everyone's trying to find a Pointless answer - an answer none of our 100 people gave -

0:02:20 > 0:02:23and each time that happens we will add £250 to the Jackpot.

0:02:23 > 0:02:27Now, Hugh and Doug didn't win the Jackpot last time, so we add another £1,000 to that,

0:02:27 > 0:02:29so today's Jackpot starts off at...

0:02:34 > 0:02:36Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.

0:02:41 > 0:02:44OK. In this first round I'll take an answer from each of you,

0:02:44 > 0:02:46but there is to be no conferring, and at the end of the round,

0:02:46 > 0:02:49whichever pair has the highest score will, I'm afraid, be heading home.

0:02:49 > 0:02:51Our first category today is...

0:02:53 > 0:02:57Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second?

0:02:58 > 0:03:00Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:03:03 > 0:03:05OK. The question concerns...

0:03:08 > 0:03:10Famous Pats, Richard.

0:03:10 > 0:03:14We're going to show descriptions of seven people whose name is Pat, or it could be shortened to Pat.

0:03:14 > 0:03:18You just have to tell us who they are, please. There's going to be 14. The very best of luck.

0:03:18 > 0:03:23Thanks very much. We're looking for the famous Pats described by these clues.

0:03:23 > 0:03:25Here is our first board of seven.

0:03:26 > 0:03:28READS ANSWERS

0:03:51 > 0:03:53I'll just read all of those again.

0:04:16 > 0:04:19There we are. Seven famous Pats.

0:04:19 > 0:04:21Gary, everyone drew lots. You and Nigel are going to go first.

0:04:21 > 0:04:24Gary, welcome back. Remind us what you do.

0:04:24 > 0:04:28We both work for the Shopping Channel. Ideal World and Create and Craft.

0:04:28 > 0:04:32Good stuff. So, nice to be in a different studio today.

0:04:32 > 0:04:36- It is. Very different.- How do you find it? Bit more relaxed?

0:04:36 > 0:04:39A little bit more, yeah. It's live TV what we do.

0:04:39 > 0:04:41So obviously it's quite high pressure...

0:04:41 > 0:04:43Whoa, whoa, whoa... Is this not live?

0:04:43 > 0:04:44LAUGHTER

0:04:44 > 0:04:46Why has no-one told me that before?

0:04:47 > 0:04:49LAUGHTER

0:04:51 > 0:04:53Now, then, Gary - famous Pats.

0:04:53 > 0:04:57Um...I don't want to go for one that's going to put me in jeopardy too early,

0:04:57 > 0:05:00so I'm going to play for the Wimbledon Men's Singles Championship.

0:05:00 > 0:05:03- I think that's Pat Cash.- Pat Cash says Gary.

0:05:03 > 0:05:06Let's see if Pat Cash is right. If it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Pat Cash.

0:05:08 > 0:05:10He's right.

0:05:13 > 0:05:15APPLAUSE

0:05:16 > 0:05:1853 for Pat Cash.

0:05:19 > 0:05:21Pretty big score for Pat Cash. It was a very famous victory.

0:05:21 > 0:05:23Only lost one set in the whole tournament.

0:05:23 > 0:05:25Beat Lendl straight sets in that final.

0:05:25 > 0:05:27Good work. Now, Sophie.

0:05:27 > 0:05:31Sophie, welcome back. Yes, last time, a little bit unlucky.

0:05:31 > 0:05:33Yeah. We're good at getting the answers.

0:05:33 > 0:05:35It was just choosing which one was the least popular.

0:05:35 > 0:05:39We actually gave the highest scorer even though we knew them all, which was a shame.

0:05:39 > 0:05:42Now, Sophie, famous Pats.

0:05:42 > 0:05:44I think I'm going to go for, because I worked in a bookshop,

0:05:44 > 0:05:49I'm pretty sure the American crime writer is Patricia Cornwell.

0:05:49 > 0:05:53Pat Cornwell in this instance. Is that right? How many people said that?

0:06:01 > 0:06:0317! Very well done indeed. Good score.

0:06:09 > 0:06:13Well played, Sophie. Sold over 100 million books, Patricia Cornwell.

0:06:13 > 0:06:16I imagine she pats the cash as well, on the back of that.

0:06:16 > 0:06:19Thanks very much indeed. Now, Wendy G.

0:06:19 > 0:06:21- It's great having two Wendys.- It's amazing.

0:06:21 > 0:06:23I think this a first for us.

0:06:23 > 0:06:25We're bi-Wendyed.

0:06:27 > 0:06:30Fantastic. Wendy, welcome. Great to have you here, up from Sussex.

0:06:30 > 0:06:33- What do you do?- I work for an education charity.

0:06:34 > 0:06:36And in your spare time, Wendy, what do you do?

0:06:36 > 0:06:39I sing with a singing group.

0:06:39 > 0:06:41I sing with a group of four other women,

0:06:41 > 0:06:45and we also have someone who plays piano, so we sing and dance at the same time.

0:06:45 > 0:06:48- And who choreographs it?- Two of the other people in the group.

0:06:48 > 0:06:50I'm going to be honest - I think that sounds brave.

0:06:51 > 0:06:53- Brave and silly.- No, no, it sounds fun.

0:06:53 > 0:06:55- Anyway, famous Pats.- Yeah.

0:06:55 > 0:06:57- Do you know all of them?- No.

0:06:57 > 0:06:58SHE LAUGHS

0:06:58 > 0:07:01I know the one I'm going to give, and I'm sure it's the biggest answer.

0:07:01 > 0:07:03Having a mental block on the others.

0:07:03 > 0:07:08So I'll go for the actor who starred in Ghost and Dirty Dancing, which is Patrick Swayze.

0:07:08 > 0:07:11Patrick Swayze says Wendy. Let's see if that's right, and if it is,

0:07:11 > 0:07:13let's see how many of our 100 people said Patrick Swayze.

0:07:15 > 0:07:17It's right... Ooh, good Lord.

0:07:19 > 0:07:22- 89!- No so bad.

0:07:23 > 0:07:26- Wow.- That's a big score for Patrick Swayze, isn't it? Yeah.

0:07:26 > 0:07:28- A lot of people remember him.- Mm.

0:07:28 > 0:07:31- Alex.- Hello.- Alex, welcome.

0:07:31 > 0:07:35Another Sussex couple. Alex, what do you do?

0:07:35 > 0:07:39I am an English language teacher for foreign students.

0:07:39 > 0:07:41- I'm also a musician.- What sort of musician are you?

0:07:41 > 0:07:44Well, I play guitar. I've played guitar for a long time.

0:07:45 > 0:07:48I played in my own bands, and the odd wedding band,

0:07:48 > 0:07:50but I've just started singing, actually.

0:07:50 > 0:07:52What kind of music? What kind of music do you sing?

0:07:52 > 0:07:54What kind of music... Anna?

0:07:54 > 0:08:01I think they sound a bit sort of like post-punky, like Talking Heads, sort of Squeeze-y, that sort of...

0:08:01 > 0:08:03Much easier to have Anna to do this for me.

0:08:03 > 0:08:06OK, good. Now, listen, Alex, you're the last person to have this board.

0:08:06 > 0:08:08You can fill in all the blanks for us.

0:08:10 > 0:08:13The actor who portrays Jean-Luc Picard, I do know.

0:08:13 > 0:08:15Patrick Stewart.

0:08:15 > 0:08:17I'm not sure about the footballer.

0:08:17 > 0:08:20My other housemate Mike is in the audience. He's a massive Newcastle supporter.

0:08:20 > 0:08:25He's probably going to be smacking his hand against his head right now.

0:08:25 > 0:08:30But I'm going to go for the American singer-songwriter whose debut album Horses was released in 1975.

0:08:30 > 0:08:32That's Patti Smith.

0:08:32 > 0:08:35Patti Smith says Alex. Patti Smith. Let's see if that's right.

0:08:35 > 0:08:38If it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Patti Smith.

0:08:40 > 0:08:42Absolutely right.

0:08:44 > 0:08:4617's our lowest score so far.

0:08:46 > 0:08:49You've passed that. Down to 8. Very well done, Alex.

0:08:51 > 0:08:53That'll do it.

0:08:53 > 0:08:558 for Patti Smith.

0:08:57 > 0:09:00Well played. They wouldn't let you back into Brighton if you didn't know that one.

0:09:00 > 0:09:03- Yeah, absolutely.- The actor is Patrick Stewart. You were right.

0:09:03 > 0:09:05Would have scored you 37 points.

0:09:06 > 0:09:08Mike, can you tell us the footballer?

0:09:08 > 0:09:10Actually, I can't.

0:09:10 > 0:09:12LAUGHTER

0:09:12 > 0:09:15Actually, he can't. It was Patrick Kluivert.

0:09:15 > 0:09:19The guy we were looking for there. Three points would have scored you, the Dutch international.

0:09:19 > 0:09:21And the politician elected Conservative MP for Newark,

0:09:21 > 0:09:25very well done if you said Patrick Mercer.

0:09:25 > 0:09:27- That was a Pointless answer.- Thanks very much indeed.

0:09:27 > 0:09:30We're half-way through the round, so let's take a look at those scores.

0:09:30 > 0:09:32They are as follows...

0:09:32 > 0:09:34Very well done, Alex. A great score there.

0:09:34 > 0:09:36Puts you in a pretty strong position at this stage.

0:09:44 > 0:09:47Magnus, we need some good patting here from you.

0:09:47 > 0:09:51Best of luck with that. Going to come back down the line. Second players, take your places at the podium.

0:09:54 > 0:09:57OK, let's put seven more Pats up on the board, and here they are.

0:10:17 > 0:10:19I'll read those one last time.

0:10:37 > 0:10:39- There we are. Anna, seven Pats there. - Hi.

0:10:39 > 0:10:41- Anna, welcome to Pointless.- Thank you.

0:10:41 > 0:10:45- What do you do, Anna?- I am a DJ, and a trainee accountant.

0:10:45 > 0:10:47- A DJ and trainee accountant?- Yes.

0:10:47 > 0:10:49I DJ by night, and I trainee accountant by day.

0:10:49 > 0:10:52You should mix it up - do it the other way round. Much more fun.

0:10:53 > 0:10:55Any other things you like getting up to down there?

0:10:55 > 0:10:59I like to cook a lot. I like to cook big meals for lots of people.

0:10:59 > 0:11:01Good. Good stuff.

0:11:01 > 0:11:06Anna, there we are. You're on 8, by the way. The highest score is 89, Magnus and Wendy G.

0:11:06 > 0:11:09If you can score 80 or less, you're in round two.

0:11:09 > 0:11:12Well, I have got a massive brain blank at loads of them,

0:11:12 > 0:11:15but I'm going to go for the French international footballer.

0:11:15 > 0:11:18- Patrick Vieira.- Patrick Vieira says Anna.

0:11:18 > 0:11:23Patrick Vieira. Here comes your red line. If you get below that, you're in Round Two.

0:11:23 > 0:11:26Let's find out if it's right, and how many people said it.

0:11:34 > 0:11:3620. Very well done indeed.

0:11:37 > 0:11:3928 your total. You're through.

0:11:41 > 0:11:44Well played, Anna. The brilliant Patrick Vieira played 107 times for France.

0:11:44 > 0:11:47He was captain of Arsenal, and they're invincible this season as well.

0:11:48 > 0:11:50Thanks very much, Richard. Now, Magnus...

0:11:51 > 0:11:53Magnus, what do you do?

0:11:53 > 0:11:55I work for a trade union that represents school leaders.

0:11:56 > 0:12:00- OK. Which trade union is it?- It's the National Association of Head Teachers.

0:12:00 > 0:12:04Now, Magnus, we want the names of these famous Pats.

0:12:04 > 0:12:06There are a couple on there that I think I know.

0:12:06 > 0:12:10As we need the points, I'm going to take a bit of a risk,

0:12:10 > 0:12:13and say the DJ and former presenter of Children's TV show Fun House

0:12:13 > 0:12:15I think might be Pat Sharp.

0:12:15 > 0:12:17Pat Sharp says Magnus. Pat Sharp.

0:12:18 > 0:12:20Now, there's no red line for you because you're high scorers,

0:12:20 > 0:12:23but let's see if Pat Sharp's right, and how many people said it.

0:12:24 > 0:12:26It is right.

0:12:32 > 0:12:34Takes your total up to...

0:12:35 > 0:12:37Is that going to be enough to see you through, I wonder?

0:12:37 > 0:12:40This is going to be about the third question we've had Warden Park people on,

0:12:40 > 0:12:42and getting knocked out on this as well.

0:12:42 > 0:12:44The WPC. You mentioned it last time.

0:12:44 > 0:12:48Surely not. The lovely Pat Sharp. He's been on Pointless Celebrities.

0:12:48 > 0:12:51Thanks very much indeed. Now, then, Wendy J.

0:12:51 > 0:12:53Wendy J, remind us what you do.

0:12:53 > 0:12:55I'm an investigator for the Local Government Ombudsman.

0:12:55 > 0:13:00(GASPS) I think that needs a bit of...(IMPERSONATES WAH WAH GUITAR)

0:13:00 > 0:13:02That's...

0:13:02 > 0:13:06- That's an HBO series in the making. - Isn't it?

0:13:06 > 0:13:09- Ombudsman.- Om-buds-man.

0:13:09 > 0:13:11Helen Mirren as Wendy.

0:13:11 > 0:13:13LAUGHTER

0:13:13 > 0:13:16- Yeah.- I imagine the councils would be pleased with that one.

0:13:17 > 0:13:20- Yeah -- That's your catchphrase. That's your catchphrase.

0:13:21 > 0:13:24You've crashed a helicopter into a tank,

0:13:24 > 0:13:27and you just go, "I imagine the councils will be pleased with that one."

0:13:27 > 0:13:29LAUGHTER

0:13:34 > 0:13:36- Oh, my.- Wendy J...

0:13:36 > 0:13:38Anyway, listen, you're through to the next round.

0:13:38 > 0:13:40That's what we do with ombudsmen.

0:13:41 > 0:13:45I can't tell you just how relieved I am for you to say those words.

0:13:45 > 0:13:47Well, there we are.

0:13:47 > 0:13:50Because I'm really struggling with this.

0:13:50 > 0:13:54I know a couple of answers, and I know their first names are Pat.

0:13:54 > 0:13:56LAUGHTER

0:13:56 > 0:14:02But I think that the actor who plays John Steed is Patrick McGoohan.

0:14:02 > 0:14:04- Or Googan.- Which one of those do you want to go for?

0:14:04 > 0:14:06You choose.

0:14:06 > 0:14:08LAUGHTER

0:14:10 > 0:14:14- What are you going to go for, Wendy? - McGoohan.

0:14:14 > 0:14:17- No, guh. I'm going to put a guh. McGoogan.- Patrick McGoogan.

0:14:17 > 0:14:19Patrick... Pat McGoogan.

0:14:20 > 0:14:22You wouldn't want to be called that, would you?

0:14:22 > 0:14:26There's no red line for you, I'm afraid. For the good reason - you're already through.

0:14:26 > 0:14:27Yes, I know. Phew.

0:14:27 > 0:14:29Let's see if Pat McGoogan's right.

0:14:29 > 0:14:31LAUGHTER

0:14:32 > 0:14:34No, bad luck. Bad luck. Couldn't matter less, though.

0:14:34 > 0:14:36Takes your total up to 117. You're still through.

0:14:38 > 0:14:40I'll give you the correct answer at the end.

0:14:40 > 0:14:45And Nigel. Nigel, welcome back. Last time it was Gary in a yellow jumper.

0:14:45 > 0:14:49Today it is you in a...what is that, a hibiscus on there?

0:14:49 > 0:14:51I think so. Hibiscus, and a sword fish, and...

0:14:51 > 0:14:55- A leaf.- We've got all of those in our garden, certainly, yes.

0:14:56 > 0:14:58Now, Nigel, this is exciting.

0:14:58 > 0:15:01You have to score 74 or less if you're to remain with us.

0:15:01 > 0:15:03So who are these famous Pats?

0:15:03 > 0:15:06Lead singer of Fall Out Boy, haven't got a clue.

0:15:06 > 0:15:09The astronomer who presented Sky at Night is Patrick Moore.

0:15:09 > 0:15:13The actor who portrays McDreamy... I've got Patrick Dempsey in my mind.

0:15:13 > 0:15:17I don't know whether that's right. I'm going to go for the actor who portrays John Steed.

0:15:17 > 0:15:20The Avengers was one of my favourite shows. Still is one of my favourites.

0:15:20 > 0:15:23That's Patrick Macnee.

0:15:23 > 0:15:25Patrick Macnee.

0:15:25 > 0:15:27- Pat My Knee! Bowler hat.- Yes.

0:15:27 > 0:15:31There is your red line. If Patrick Macnee gets you below that red line, you are into Round Two.

0:15:32 > 0:15:35Let's find out - is it right, and if it is, let's see how many said it.

0:15:36 > 0:15:38Absolutely right. Very well done.

0:15:38 > 0:15:40Through you go to Round Two.

0:15:41 > 0:15:43Still going down. Well done.

0:15:46 > 0:15:4885 is your total.

0:15:49 > 0:15:51Well played, Nigel. Good answer. Safely through to the next round.

0:15:51 > 0:15:54Wendy, you were thinking of Patrick McGoohan, who was in The Prisoner.

0:15:54 > 0:15:59Similar vintage. Nigel, you were absolutely right about Grey's Anatomy as well.

0:15:59 > 0:16:02It was Patrick Dempsey. Would have scored you 8 points.

0:16:02 > 0:16:04- Would have been a terrific answer.- I wasn't sure.

0:16:04 > 0:16:07The author of Strangers on a Train. She also wrote the Ripley books.

0:16:08 > 0:16:10The wonderful Patricia Highsmith.

0:16:11 > 0:16:14Would have score you one point if you'd said that.

0:16:14 > 0:16:16The astronomer was Patrick Moore, you're right about that.

0:16:16 > 0:16:18Big score, though.

0:16:19 > 0:16:22The lead singer of Fall Out Boy is Patrick Stump.

0:16:22 > 0:16:25That's a Pointless answer, so very well done if you said that.

0:16:25 > 0:16:27- I like Fall Out Boy.- Good stuff. Thanks very much indeed.

0:16:27 > 0:16:31At the end of our first round, the curse of Warden Park once again!

0:16:31 > 0:16:33I can't believe it.

0:16:33 > 0:16:37You've been ill-served by Pats, but I'm sure when you come back we'll serve up something better for you...

0:16:37 > 0:16:39that'll see you further through the game.

0:16:39 > 0:16:43Anyway, thanks very much for playing, Magnus and Wendy. We look forward to seeing you next time.

0:16:43 > 0:16:45Good luck, good luck.

0:16:46 > 0:16:49For the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.

0:16:54 > 0:16:57Well, well done, our three remaining pairs.

0:16:57 > 0:17:00I'm sorry to say at the end of this round we'll have to say goodbye to another pair,

0:17:00 > 0:17:02but Alex and Anna, on the strength of that round,

0:17:02 > 0:17:04it's not going to be you.

0:17:04 > 0:17:07- That was a fantastic performance. - Don't say that.- Patti Smith, though. Lovely low score.

0:17:08 > 0:17:10Nigel and Gary, welcome to Round Two.

0:17:10 > 0:17:12It's good to be here.

0:17:12 > 0:17:15Sophie and Wendy, Patrick McGoohan, you wouldn't have taken that punt

0:17:15 > 0:17:17if you didn't know you were already through.

0:17:17 > 0:17:20I think this is going to be very exciting. Best of luck to all three pairs.

0:17:20 > 0:17:22Our category for Round Two is Shakespeare.

0:17:23 > 0:17:27Shakespeare - traditionally a topic that always does well on Pointless.

0:17:27 > 0:17:30Decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second.

0:17:30 > 0:17:32Everyone who's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:17:35 > 0:17:41We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many Shakespeare title characters as they could.

0:17:41 > 0:17:43Shakespeare TITLE characters, Richard.

0:17:43 > 0:17:48We're looking for the name of any character who appears in the title of any Shakespeare play.

0:17:49 > 0:17:52Any character who appears at any point in the title of any Shakespeare play.

0:17:52 > 0:17:56Thanks very much indeed. OK, now, Nigel,

0:17:56 > 0:17:59characters who appear in titles of Shakespeare plays.

0:17:59 > 0:18:04OK. I'm going to try and cast my mind back to when I was at school.

0:18:04 > 0:18:06I wasn't the most attentive in English lessons, but...

0:18:07 > 0:18:11I'm going to say, and keep my fingers crossed, Titus Andronicus.

0:18:11 > 0:18:16Titus Andronicus, says Nigel. Let's see if that's right, and how many people said Titus Andronicus.

0:18:18 > 0:18:20He's right.

0:18:25 > 0:18:27APPLAUSE

0:18:29 > 0:18:319 for Titus Andronicus.

0:18:33 > 0:18:37Very good start, Nigel. Well done. We'd have accepted just Titus as well.

0:18:37 > 0:18:39- It's whatever the name is.- I like to give it all.

0:18:39 > 0:18:41LAUGHTER

0:18:41 > 0:18:43That was the sub-heading of Titus Andronicus.

0:18:45 > 0:18:47Thanks very much. Now, Sophie...

0:18:47 > 0:18:51We're looking for the name that appears in any title of at least one Shakespeare play.

0:18:51 > 0:18:56There's one which I think would be a good, low-scoring play generally,

0:18:56 > 0:19:01and I'm about 70 per cent sure it's the character, and not just some sort of word.

0:19:01 > 0:19:04I don't know the actual play. Coriolanus.

0:19:04 > 0:19:07Coriolanus, says Sophie. How many of our 100 people said Coriolanus?

0:19:09 > 0:19:13Good answer. Now, 9 is our low score at the moment.

0:19:14 > 0:19:16Coriolanus.

0:19:21 > 0:19:23We've got some good themes on today.

0:19:23 > 0:19:27Very good answer, Sophie. Ralph Fiennes just did a film of it. He directed and starred.

0:19:27 > 0:19:30- Yeah. Excellent. Now, Anna.- Hello.

0:19:30 > 0:19:33What about a title character from Shakespeare?

0:19:33 > 0:19:37I'm going to go for one of the ones from a two-title play.

0:19:37 > 0:19:39I'm going to go for Troilus.

0:19:39 > 0:19:41Troilus says Anna.

0:19:41 > 0:19:45Troilus. Let's see if that's right, and if it is, let's see how many people said that.

0:19:46 > 0:19:48It's a great answer.

0:19:48 > 0:19:50Now, 9 is our lowest score so far.

0:19:50 > 0:19:53I wonder if Troilus will take us beneath that.

0:19:53 > 0:19:55Yes, it will. Very well done indeed, Anna.

0:20:01 > 0:20:03Very well-played again.

0:20:03 > 0:20:07Look at those scores for the first round. Very impressive on a Shakespeare round.

0:20:07 > 0:20:11They're getting a good workout on that last podium, aren't they?

0:20:11 > 0:20:14- Every time they get a low score.- I'm sure there's a fitness DVD we can...

0:20:14 > 0:20:16An Anna and Alex DVD. We should do it.

0:20:16 > 0:20:20Thanks very much indeed. We're half-way through the round, so let's take a look at those scores.

0:20:20 > 0:20:226 the lowest score of that. Well done, Anna.

0:20:22 > 0:20:25Then we travel up to 9, where we find Nigel and Gary.

0:20:25 > 0:20:27And to 11, where we find Sophie and Wendy.

0:20:27 > 0:20:29Wendy, you're not massively ahead of the field,

0:20:29 > 0:20:32but a nice low score from you is what we'll need to keep you in the game.

0:20:32 > 0:20:34Best of luck. We're going to come back down the line now.

0:20:34 > 0:20:37Can the second players please step up to the podium?

0:20:39 > 0:20:41Now, then, Alex...

0:20:41 > 0:20:44Alex, remember, we're looking for the name of any type of character

0:20:44 > 0:20:46who appears in at least one Shakespeare play.

0:20:46 > 0:20:54Well, I've got a feeling that Wendy's got something up her sleeve, personally.

0:20:54 > 0:20:56So...

0:20:56 > 0:21:00I'm going to go for something which I think might be a bit of a safer answer.

0:21:00 > 0:21:04- OK.- I'm going to go for Julius Caesar.

0:21:05 > 0:21:07Julius Caesar? OK. Well, 11 is the high score.

0:21:07 > 0:21:10If you can score 4 or less, you'll avoid becoming the new high scorers.

0:21:10 > 0:21:13Let's see. Julius Caesar. Is it right? How many people said it?

0:21:13 > 0:21:15There's your red line. Quite a long way down.

0:21:18 > 0:21:20It's correct.

0:21:24 > 0:21:26APPLAUSE

0:21:26 > 0:21:2815 takes your total up to 21.

0:21:31 > 0:21:33His real first name was Gaius.

0:21:33 > 0:21:36- Julius Caesar's first name.- Anyway, Wendy, Wendy...

0:21:36 > 0:21:39- Yes.- Wendy, Alex thought you had something up your sleeve.

0:21:39 > 0:21:41Yes. He was wrong.

0:21:42 > 0:21:44If you can score 9 or less,

0:21:44 > 0:21:47you're in the Head to Head.

0:21:47 > 0:21:49I think I'm going to go King Lear.

0:21:49 > 0:21:51King Lear says Wendy. OK.

0:21:51 > 0:21:53King Lear. Here's your red line.

0:21:53 > 0:21:57Again, quite low, but let's see how far down the column King Lear can take you.

0:21:58 > 0:22:01It's right.

0:22:05 > 0:22:07APPLAUSE

0:22:07 > 0:22:10So 33 your total there, Wendy.

0:22:13 > 0:22:15Based on the legendary British king, of course.

0:22:15 > 0:22:17- It's a name you don't hear any more - Lear.- Lear? No.

0:22:17 > 0:22:20Favoured by jets, and not much else.

0:22:20 > 0:22:21LAUGHTER

0:22:21 > 0:22:23- Now, Gary... Gary.- Yes?

0:22:23 > 0:22:26You're on 9. The highest scorers at the moment are Wendy and Sophie.

0:22:26 > 0:22:30On 33. 23 or less gets you into the Head to Head.

0:22:30 > 0:22:33We want any name from the title of a Shakespeare play.

0:22:33 > 0:22:37I'm so pleased that the two other teams didn't steal my answer,

0:22:37 > 0:22:41because Anna said Troilus, and I'd already thought of Cressida from Troilus and Cressida.

0:22:41 > 0:22:43I did wonder why nobody picked up on Cressida.

0:22:43 > 0:22:47I'm so relieved, because I couldn't think of anything else that would be as good.

0:22:47 > 0:22:49- So I'm going to go for Cressida. - Cressida.

0:22:49 > 0:22:53There's your red line. If you get below that with Cressida, you're in the next round.

0:22:56 > 0:22:58It's right.

0:23:00 > 0:23:02Very well done. You're through.

0:23:03 > 0:23:05Very good.

0:23:05 > 0:23:07Cressida one point less than Troilus.

0:23:08 > 0:23:10Scores you 5. Takes your total up to 14.

0:23:10 > 0:23:12Very well done.

0:23:12 > 0:23:15Well-played, Gary. There's no Pointless answers at all.

0:23:15 > 0:23:16Have you got a good answer for this?

0:23:16 > 0:23:19I'd have gone Cymbeline. Safe answer.

0:23:19 > 0:23:21Cymbeline would have scored you two points.

0:23:21 > 0:23:25- King John.- John would have scored you 5 points.

0:23:25 > 0:23:30But the best answer, scoring 1 point, would have been Pericles.

0:23:30 > 0:23:33- Oh, yes.- Cymbeline with 2.

0:23:33 > 0:23:35Timon - Timon of Athens - would have scored you 3.

0:23:35 > 0:23:38Cleopatra for 7. Antony would have scored you 8.

0:23:38 > 0:23:41Othello would have scored you 24. Richard would have scored you 26.

0:23:42 > 0:23:45You could have had Macbeth for 41, and let's take a look at the top three,

0:23:45 > 0:23:47the ones that most people said.

0:23:52 > 0:23:54Let's take a look at the gender balance here.

0:23:55 > 0:23:57Why does that happen?

0:23:57 > 0:23:59Romeo. I'll go for Romeo.

0:24:01 > 0:24:03And yeah, Hamlet.

0:24:03 > 0:24:05LAUGHTER

0:24:05 > 0:24:07- Romeo and Hamlet.- Thanks very much indeed, Richard.

0:24:07 > 0:24:10At the end of our second round, the pair leaving... I can't bear this.

0:24:10 > 0:24:12Wendy and Sophie, you were Head to Headers last time.

0:24:12 > 0:24:15I thought you were going to be finalists this time. You did so well.

0:24:15 > 0:24:17It's been lovely as always to have you on the show.

0:24:17 > 0:24:20Sorry I have to say goodbye to you now, but thanks so much for playing.

0:24:20 > 0:24:22Wendy and Sophie.

0:24:23 > 0:24:26For the remaining two pairs, it's now time for the Head to Head.

0:24:32 > 0:24:34Congratulations, Alex and Anna, Nigel and Gary.

0:24:34 > 0:24:39You're now one step closer to the final, and a chance to play for our jackpot which currently stands at...

0:24:43 > 0:24:46Now, we have to decide who's going to play for that money, and to do that

0:24:46 > 0:24:48you're now going to go Head to Head.

0:24:48 > 0:24:50The difference is, you're now allowed to confer,

0:24:50 > 0:24:53and the first pair to win two questions will be playing for that Jackpot.

0:24:53 > 0:24:56I think this is going to be extremely exciting, and very close.

0:24:56 > 0:24:58Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the Head to Head.

0:25:03 > 0:25:05OK, here is your first question,

0:25:05 > 0:25:09and it concerns sporting losers.

0:25:09 > 0:25:11Sporting losers, Richard.

0:25:11 > 0:25:14I'm going to show you five pictures now of famous sportspeople.

0:25:14 > 0:25:16Can you name the most obscure, please?

0:25:16 > 0:25:21- Losers in what sense?- You'll see in the images.- I see, I see. Very good.

0:25:21 > 0:25:23Thanks very much. Let's reveal our five losers, and here they are.

0:25:23 > 0:25:25We have got...

0:25:43 > 0:25:47There we are. Five sporting, unlucky losers.

0:25:47 > 0:25:50Alex and Anna, you played best throughout so far, so you get to go first.

0:25:54 > 0:25:56THEY CONFER

0:25:57 > 0:26:00We'd like to go for A.

0:26:00 > 0:26:02Beth Tweddle.

0:26:02 > 0:26:04A, Beth Tweddle, say Alex and Anna.

0:26:04 > 0:26:07Beth Tweddle. Now, Nigel and Gary, that board is all yours.

0:26:07 > 0:26:10Talk us through it, and fill in all the blanks, if you can.

0:26:10 > 0:26:12Oh, that we could.

0:26:12 > 0:26:14B is obviously Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards, isn't it?

0:26:15 > 0:26:17D is John McEnroe.

0:26:19 > 0:26:21- C, is it Ronnie...- Ronnie O'Sullivan.

0:26:21 > 0:26:23The snooker player.

0:26:23 > 0:26:26I can't put a name to A, but Beth Tweddle is British.

0:26:26 > 0:26:29I don't think it's her. That's an American flag on her uniform.

0:26:29 > 0:26:33Yeah, so I think we should go for Ronnie.

0:26:33 > 0:26:37- C.- I'm happy to do that.- Ronnie O'Sullivan for picture C, please.

0:26:37 > 0:26:39OK, you say Ronnie O'Sullivan for C.

0:26:39 > 0:26:42So we have Beth Tweddle from Alex and Anna.

0:26:42 > 0:26:45Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said it.

0:26:46 > 0:26:48It is wrong...

0:26:48 > 0:26:53as Gary suspected, which means, Nigel and Gary, you merely have to be correct with Ronnie O'Sullivan.

0:26:53 > 0:26:56You'll win this question. Let's see if you are correct.

0:26:56 > 0:26:58Let's see for fun how many people said Ronnie O'Sullivan.

0:26:58 > 0:27:00He's right, of course.

0:27:06 > 0:27:09Very well reasoned there, Gary. Very observant.

0:27:09 > 0:27:12Nigel and Gary, that means after one question you're up one-nil.

0:27:12 > 0:27:15Well played, Gary. That's Ronnie O'Sullivan losing to James Wattana.

0:27:15 > 0:27:17Losing 5-0 there in that picture.

0:27:17 > 0:27:20Now, A, you're quite right is American, so it wasn't Beth Tweddle.

0:27:20 > 0:27:22It's actually...

0:27:22 > 0:27:25A Pointless answer. It's up there because that face

0:27:25 > 0:27:27became very famous all over the Internet.

0:27:27 > 0:27:30Her not-impressed face. She got a silver medal there,

0:27:30 > 0:27:32but she just lost out on a gold medal.

0:27:34 > 0:27:36Let's take a look at B. It is of course...

0:27:40 > 0:27:43D, losing in the Wimbledon finals to Jimmy Connors...

0:27:47 > 0:27:52And E is Eric Moussambani, or Eric the Eel.

0:27:52 > 0:27:54That would have scored you 5 points.

0:27:54 > 0:27:57Thanks very much indeed, Richard. So here comes your second question.

0:27:57 > 0:28:00Alex and Anna, you have to win this one to stay in the game.

0:28:00 > 0:28:02It concerns...

0:28:03 > 0:28:05China, Richard.

0:28:05 > 0:28:07Going to give you five clues to facts about China.

0:28:07 > 0:28:09You just have to give us the most obscure answer. Good luck.

0:28:09 > 0:28:12OK, let's reveal our five China facts.

0:28:12 > 0:28:14And here they are.

0:28:14 > 0:28:16READS FACTS

0:28:26 > 0:28:28I'll read those all one last time.

0:28:40 > 0:28:42There we are. Five clues to facts about China.

0:28:42 > 0:28:44Nigel and Gary, you will go first.

0:28:44 > 0:28:46THEY CONFER

0:28:46 > 0:28:49- The language...?- I think that's our better one of the two.

0:28:49 > 0:28:51- I'm quite happy to go for...- OK.

0:28:51 > 0:28:55The most spoken Chinese language in China - Mandarin.

0:28:55 > 0:28:58Mandarin say Nigel and Gary. Mandarin.

0:28:58 > 0:29:00Now, Alex and Anna, that board is all yours. Talk us through it.

0:29:01 > 0:29:05I think the largest city by population is either Hong Kong or Shanghai.

0:29:06 > 0:29:09The capital city I think is Beijing.

0:29:09 > 0:29:14I believe their position in the 2012 Olympics Medal Table was either first or second!

0:29:14 > 0:29:16I've got a couple of choices to make here.

0:29:17 > 0:29:20Let's go for the name of its largest city by population.

0:29:20 > 0:29:23Largest city by population, I think we're going to go for...

0:29:24 > 0:29:26Shanghai.

0:29:26 > 0:29:28Shanghai say Alex and Anna, is the largest city by population.

0:29:28 > 0:29:30So we have Mandarin versus Shanghai.

0:29:31 > 0:29:34Mandarin say Nigel and Gary. Let's see if that's right.

0:29:34 > 0:29:36If it is, let's see how many people said that.

0:29:37 > 0:29:39It's right.

0:29:41 > 0:29:43APPLAUSE

0:29:47 > 0:29:52Well, it's right. It has that in its favour, whereas Alex and Anna have taken a bit of a punt there.

0:29:52 > 0:29:55Shanghai. Is that right, and if it is, how many people said it?

0:29:57 > 0:29:59It is right. Very well done.

0:30:01 > 0:30:03And it beats Mandarin.

0:30:03 > 0:30:05Well played.

0:30:07 > 0:30:09Back in the game, Alex and Anna.

0:30:10 > 0:30:12After two questions it's one-all.

0:30:12 > 0:30:15Mandarin's the biggest answer on the board there, surprisingly.

0:30:15 > 0:30:17Even more than the capital.

0:30:17 > 0:30:22The capital, of course, is Beijing. Would only have scored you 45 points, amazingly.

0:30:22 > 0:30:25Now the decade in which the People's Republic of China was founded.

0:30:25 > 0:30:28It was founded in 1949 by Mao Zedong.

0:30:28 > 0:30:30Would have scored you...

0:30:31 > 0:30:33The position in the 2012 medals table.

0:30:33 > 0:30:35It was first or second. What would you have gone for?

0:30:35 > 0:30:39- I'd have gone for second.- You'd have been right. The USA were first.

0:30:39 > 0:30:41Would have scored you...

0:30:41 > 0:30:47Thanks very much indeed. OK, so here comes the decider. Best of luck to both pairs.

0:30:47 > 0:30:50Whoever wins this goes through to the Final to play for that Jackpot. It concerns...

0:30:54 > 0:30:57Songs with items of clothing in their titles, Richard.

0:30:57 > 0:30:59Yeah. In fact, songs with items of clothing not in their titles.

0:30:59 > 0:31:04We're going to give you the titles of the five songs. We've missed out that item of clothing on each one.

0:31:04 > 0:31:07- Can you fill it in, please? Best of luck.- OK.

0:31:07 > 0:31:10Let's reveal our five songs that have taken off their clothes.

0:31:10 > 0:31:13And here they are.

0:31:13 > 0:31:15READS TITLES

0:31:30 > 0:31:32I'll read those again one last time.

0:31:45 > 0:31:49There we are. Five songs missing bits of clothes.

0:31:49 > 0:31:52Now, Alex and Anna will go first.

0:31:53 > 0:31:55It's just trying to pick which one to go for.

0:31:58 > 0:32:01I think we're going to go for the Thong Song, by Sisqo.

0:32:01 > 0:32:04OK. Thong Song, say Alex and Anna.

0:32:04 > 0:32:07- Nigel and Gary, that board is all yours.- OK.

0:32:07 > 0:32:09Madness is Baggy Trousers.

0:32:10 > 0:32:12The bottom one is bikini.

0:32:14 > 0:32:18I'm kind of hoping that I...well, we might be one of the few people

0:32:18 > 0:32:21in the world that might know the answer to The Cheeky Girls one.

0:32:21 > 0:32:23I seem to remember, and I don't know why...

0:32:23 > 0:32:25It's in the bowels of my mind somewhere

0:32:25 > 0:32:28that it was called Take Your Shoes off, but I don't know why.

0:32:28 > 0:32:30- So fingers crossed...- From the bowels of your mind?!

0:32:30 > 0:32:32LAUGHTER

0:32:32 > 0:32:34Those Romanian twins are there in my mind somewhere,

0:32:34 > 0:32:37so I'm hoping that it's Take Your Shoes Off.

0:32:37 > 0:32:43Take Your Shoes Off, say Nigel and Gary. So we have Thong Song and Take Your Shoes Off.

0:32:43 > 0:32:47Alex and Anna said Thong Song. Let's see if that's right, and how many people said thong.

0:32:49 > 0:32:51It's right.

0:32:57 > 0:32:5927.

0:33:02 > 0:33:05Nigel and Gary are saying Take Your Shoes Off from The Cheeky Girls.

0:33:05 > 0:33:07Let's see if that's right... Are you doubting it now?

0:33:09 > 0:33:12(EXHALES) Who's not going to doubt their knowledge of The Cheeky Girls?

0:33:13 > 0:33:15Let's see - Take Your Shoes Off. Is it right?

0:33:15 > 0:33:18How many people said it?

0:33:18 > 0:33:20It is right!

0:33:21 > 0:33:25Is it going to beat Thong Song? Yes, it is. Very well done indeed.

0:33:25 > 0:33:27Down it goes to 6.

0:33:27 > 0:33:29APPLAUSE

0:33:32 > 0:33:34Which means, Nigel and Gary, very well done.

0:33:35 > 0:33:37After three questions, you are through to the Final 2-1.

0:33:38 > 0:33:42- Very well played, Nigel.- I'm loving those Cheeky Girls!

0:33:44 > 0:33:46Now, the top one is Baggy Trousers, of course.

0:33:46 > 0:33:49- What do you think that would have scored?- 87.

0:33:49 > 0:33:5192.

0:33:51 > 0:33:5492 points. Alvin Stardust is Red Dress.

0:33:55 > 0:33:57It's a good score of 17.

0:33:57 > 0:34:03This other one...Teeny Weeny Polka Dot Bikini would have scored...?

0:34:03 > 0:34:0587.

0:34:05 > 0:34:06LAUGHTER

0:34:06 > 0:34:08100.

0:34:10 > 0:34:12One of those very rare occasions.

0:34:12 > 0:34:16Yeah. Thank you very much. I knew this was going to be very hard-fought,

0:34:16 > 0:34:18and I knew it was going to be close, and would come down to the wire.

0:34:18 > 0:34:21And so it did - Thong Song versus The Cheeky Girls.

0:34:22 > 0:34:25But very well done, Nigel and Gary. Going through.

0:34:25 > 0:34:28Alex and Anna, it means we have to say goodbye to you. You've done so well throughout the show.

0:34:28 > 0:34:31It all bodes very well for the next time we see you.

0:34:31 > 0:34:34We'll look forward to that very much. Alex and Anna, great contestants.

0:34:37 > 0:34:39For Nigel and Gary, it's now time for our Pointless Final.

0:34:44 > 0:34:47Congratulations, Nigel and Gary. You've seen off all the competition,

0:34:47 > 0:34:49and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.

0:34:55 > 0:34:59You now have a chance to win our Pointless Jackpot, and at the end of today's show the Jackpot stands at...

0:35:04 > 0:35:06You've done so well, SO well today.

0:35:06 > 0:35:08It was Round One last time.

0:35:08 > 0:35:11All memories of that now quickly receding as you storm through.

0:35:11 > 0:35:16As always, you start this round off by choosing a category. You have four options to choose from.

0:35:16 > 0:35:18They are...

0:35:24 > 0:35:26- Oh.- Ooh!

0:35:26 > 0:35:28- Which one do you think?- I think I'll get my coat.

0:35:30 > 0:35:33I don't know any Booker Prize winners off the top of my head.

0:35:33 > 0:35:35FIFA World Cup we can in theory guess.

0:35:35 > 0:35:41Irish Geography... We work with a lovely Irish lady, Genevieve. If we get that wrong, she would murder us.

0:35:41 > 0:35:45She doesn't sound that nice, I have to be honest.

0:35:45 > 0:35:48- She's lovely.- Yes, just verbally murder us.

0:35:48 > 0:35:50Um...

0:35:51 > 0:35:54- FIFA World Cup?- Yeah. Irish geography is quite specific.

0:35:54 > 0:35:57I think FIFA World Cup is a bit more broad. We might have a better answer.

0:35:57 > 0:35:59I've got a trophy. I'm happy. I don't mind, so...

0:36:00 > 0:36:02- FIFA World Cup.- OK. World Cup.- We'll try World Cup.

0:36:02 > 0:36:04OK, you're going to go for FIFA World Cup.

0:36:04 > 0:36:07- Richard.- OK, you've got three possible questions to go for here.

0:36:07 > 0:36:10I know some people at home are going to do very well on a couple of these.

0:36:11 > 0:36:13Can you give us an answer from any of these, please?

0:36:13 > 0:36:17We are looking for any stadium that hosted a match during the 1966 World Cup.

0:36:17 > 0:36:21We are looking for the name of any World Cup-winning coach or manager

0:36:21 > 0:36:25from 1966 all the way through to 2010,

0:36:25 > 0:36:28so anyone who managed or coached a World Cup-winning team.

0:36:28 > 0:36:32Or any winner of the Golden Boot - the Golden Shoe it used to be -

0:36:32 > 0:36:34in any World Cup, please.

0:36:34 > 0:36:36RE-READS QUESTIONS

0:36:43 > 0:36:45Best of luck in the studio. Best of luck at home as well.

0:36:45 > 0:36:47There's a few Pointless answers out there.

0:36:47 > 0:36:51Thanks very much indeed. Now, as always, you've got up to a minute to come up with three answers.

0:36:51 > 0:36:55To win that Jackpot of £6,000, you just have to find a Pointless answer.

0:36:55 > 0:36:58The answers you give can come from any of those categories.

0:36:58 > 0:37:01It can be all three from one category, one from each. Entirely up to you.

0:37:01 > 0:37:04- Are you ready?- Yes. We're ready.

0:37:04 > 0:37:06OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.

0:37:06 > 0:37:08There they are. Your time starts now.

0:37:09 > 0:37:11So, 1966 was...

0:37:11 > 0:37:13It's England.

0:37:13 > 0:37:15We don't want Wembley.

0:37:15 > 0:37:19All I know is Villa Park. I've no idea about whether they were in the World Cup.

0:37:19 > 0:37:21I think Old Trafford probably wasn't involved.

0:37:21 > 0:37:24Golden Shoe winners... Is that man of the match, or...

0:37:24 > 0:37:26The person who scores the most goals, I think.

0:37:26 > 0:37:30- OK, so...- I'm thinking of Roberto Baggio from Italy in the '90s.

0:37:30 > 0:37:32- Sounds good.- Name rings a bell.

0:37:32 > 0:37:35Pele... I don't know if he won it. He's going to be a big answer.

0:37:35 > 0:37:37I imagine so.

0:37:37 > 0:37:39World Cup-winning coaches and managers.

0:37:39 > 0:37:42The only ones I can think of are really obvious ones.

0:37:42 > 0:37:44Alf Ramsey started it in '66,

0:37:44 > 0:37:46but that's going to be too obvious.

0:37:46 > 0:37:51OK, so... But it's World Cup for the whole of history, isn't it?

0:37:51 > 0:37:54When did it start? You go back in the mists of time.

0:37:54 > 0:37:57- 1966, I think.- No, that's just the stadia.

0:37:57 > 0:37:59Ten seconds left.

0:38:01 > 0:38:06- I think we should go for...- Your Baggio man.- Roberto Baggio.

0:38:06 > 0:38:08Wembley, but you could say Villa Park, and...

0:38:08 > 0:38:11OK, that is your time up. I now need three answers from you.

0:38:11 > 0:38:15- What are you going to say?- OK, so we'll go for the Golden Boot/Shoe winner.

0:38:15 > 0:38:18It is a bit of a guess, but Roberto Baggio.

0:38:18 > 0:38:20In the 1990s, so thinking of that one.

0:38:21 > 0:38:25And then from 1966 World Cup stadia,

0:38:25 > 0:38:27shall we try two there?

0:38:27 > 0:38:29- I think so.- If we go for Villa Park...

0:38:29 > 0:38:31Villa Park.

0:38:31 > 0:38:34- And...- What about Upton Park for West Ham?

0:38:34 > 0:38:36That sounds beautiful to me.

0:38:36 > 0:38:38OK, they are your three answers. Of those three,

0:38:38 > 0:38:41which do you think is your best crack at a Pointless answer?

0:38:41 > 0:38:43The Cheeky Girls.

0:38:44 > 0:38:48- Let's say Baggio.- Roberto Baggio we'll put last.

0:38:48 > 0:38:50Which is your least likely to be Pointless?

0:38:50 > 0:38:52- Villa Park.- Villa Park we will put first.

0:38:52 > 0:38:54OK, let's put those answers up on the board in that order.

0:38:54 > 0:38:56Here they are.

0:38:58 > 0:39:00Very, very best of luck.

0:39:00 > 0:39:03Your first answer, the one probably least likely to be Pointless

0:39:03 > 0:39:05was Villa Park.

0:39:05 > 0:39:07Now, if this is correct, and it goes all the way down to zero,

0:39:07 > 0:39:09you will leave here with £6,000.

0:39:09 > 0:39:11Nigel, what would you do with your share of that?

0:39:12 > 0:39:16A couple of things. I've always wanted a juke box for 7-inch singles I've got from my youth,

0:39:16 > 0:39:19so I would like to have to a decent pub jukebox, that would be good.

0:39:19 > 0:39:21The other thing is I write books as well.

0:39:21 > 0:39:24I've always said I'd self-publish if I can't get a deal.

0:39:24 > 0:39:26I'd quite like to self-publish a book.

0:39:26 > 0:39:29- Best of luck. Gary, how about you? - I've really wanted to visit the Grand Prix for a long time,

0:39:29 > 0:39:33so I'd pick a country, and get out to one.

0:39:33 > 0:39:35Excellent. Good stuff. Very, very best of luck.

0:39:35 > 0:39:39Three answers up there on the board. Let's hope one of them is Pointless.

0:39:39 > 0:39:41Your first answer - Villa Park.

0:39:41 > 0:39:43Obviously, if this is Pointless it wins you that Jackpot,

0:39:43 > 0:39:48so for £6,000, let's find out if Villa Park was a stadium in the 1966 World Cup.

0:39:51 > 0:39:53It was.

0:39:53 > 0:39:56Down it goes. If this goes all the way down to zero, you leave here with £6,000.

0:39:56 > 0:40:00It's taking us pretty confidently down through the 20s, down through the teens.

0:40:00 > 0:40:02Still going down. Oh! 9.

0:40:05 > 0:40:07Not a bad first answer.

0:40:10 > 0:40:12- 9. Great score.- Shocker.

0:40:12 > 0:40:15What do you mean, a shocker? It's a great first score.

0:40:15 > 0:40:17- It's just a shocker it's correct.- I see what you mean.

0:40:18 > 0:40:21Obviously, it's not Pointless, so it won't win you that Jackpot.

0:40:21 > 0:40:23Your second answer may, though.

0:40:23 > 0:40:26Again, if it's Pointless it wins you the Jackpot,

0:40:26 > 0:40:30so for £6,000, let's find out if Upton Park was a stadium in the '66 World Cup.

0:40:32 > 0:40:34Oh, bad luck!

0:40:35 > 0:40:38Bad luck. An incorrect answer there with Upton Park.

0:40:38 > 0:40:40Which means everything is now riding on your third and final answer.

0:40:40 > 0:40:45Roberto Baggio. A bit of a punt, but it came swimming into your mind.

0:40:45 > 0:40:49I remember watching the World Cup with my dad as a child.

0:40:49 > 0:40:51It was in 1990 when it was held in Italy.

0:40:51 > 0:40:53I think he did quite well, so I'm hoping.

0:40:54 > 0:40:56OK, well, fingers crossed. Let's hope it's right.

0:40:56 > 0:40:59Let's hope it's Pointless. For £6,000, let's find out

0:40:59 > 0:41:04if Roberto Baggio ever won the Golden Boot or Golden Shoe in a World Cup.

0:41:05 > 0:41:07Bad luck.

0:41:07 > 0:41:13Bad luck. I'm afraid an incorrect answer, which means you haven't won our Jackpot.

0:41:13 > 0:41:17That Jackpot will roll over to the next show, but we've really loved having you on the programme.

0:41:17 > 0:41:20You do of course get to take home a Pointless trophy, so very, very well done.

0:41:20 > 0:41:22That's what we came for.

0:41:29 > 0:41:31Unlucky, gents. Absolutely terrific performance today. Well done.

0:41:31 > 0:41:33A very brave final category to take on as well.

0:41:33 > 0:41:36The winner of the Golden Boot in 1990 - it was an Italian.

0:41:36 > 0:41:39It was Toto Schillaci, as some people at home would know.

0:41:39 > 0:41:41Scored two points, though, Schillaci.

0:41:41 > 0:41:44Let's take a look at the Pointless answers in each of the categories.

0:41:48 > 0:41:51Ayresome Park, which is the old Middlesbrough ground.

0:41:51 > 0:41:53Roker Park, which is where Sunderland used to play.

0:41:53 > 0:41:56And the White City Stadium, which is no longer there, of course.

0:41:56 > 0:41:58All of those were Pointless answers.

0:41:59 > 0:42:04Aime Jacquet, the French coach from 1998 would have been a Pointless answer.

0:42:04 > 0:42:06Carlos Alberto Parreira, Brazilian.

0:42:06 > 0:42:08Carlos Bilardo, won it with Argentina in 1986.

0:42:08 > 0:42:13Marcello Lippi of Italy also a Pointless answer. There's a couple more there as well.

0:42:13 > 0:42:16Minotti, you could have had Helmut Schon, and you could have had Zagallo.

0:42:16 > 0:42:18All of those were Pointless.

0:42:19 > 0:42:22Now, for the Golden Boot winners, I know some people will have got some of these.

0:42:22 > 0:42:24Davor Suker of Croatia.

0:42:25 > 0:42:27Eusebio, the famous Portuguese.

0:42:27 > 0:42:30The highest scorer in any World Cup, Just Fontaine of France.

0:42:30 > 0:42:33I know some people will have said him.

0:42:33 > 0:42:35And Oleg Salenko of Russia was a terrific answer.

0:42:35 > 0:42:39In fact, every single winner of the Golden Boot was Pointless

0:42:39 > 0:42:42other than Lineker, Ronaldo, Gerd Muller, Schillaci of course,

0:42:42 > 0:42:46Mario Kempes, Klose, Muller and Paolo Rossi.

0:42:46 > 0:42:50If you said anyone apart from those names - Stoichkov for example was Pointless -

0:42:50 > 0:42:52all the other answers were Pointless.

0:42:52 > 0:42:54Thanks very much indeed, Richard.

0:42:54 > 0:42:57Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to Nigel and Gary,

0:42:57 > 0:42:59but it's been fantastic having you on the show.

0:42:59 > 0:43:03This time round especially you have done so well. You can walk off with your heads held high.

0:43:03 > 0:43:05Thanks so much. Nigel and Gary.

0:43:08 > 0:43:10Who sadly didn't win our Jackpot today.

0:43:10 > 0:43:14It rolls over onto the next show, when we will be playing for £7,000.

0:43:17 > 0:43:20Join us then, see if someone can win it. It's goodbye from Richard...

0:43:20 > 0:43:22- Goodbye.- And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
