0:00:17 > 0:00:20APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:00:25 > 0:00:28Thank you! Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong. Welcome to Pointless,
0:00:28 > 0:00:33the quiz show where you are rewarded for knowing obscure answers. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Couple number one.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42Hello. I'm Brian. This is my son-in-law Graham and we're from Somerset.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45Couple two. Hello. I'm Robert. This is my friend Jonny
0:00:45 > 0:00:48and we're friends from Leeds. Couple three?
0:00:48 > 0:00:51I'm Jan. This is my daughter, Jess, and we're from Lancashire.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53And finally, couple number four.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Hello, I'm Alan. This is my girlfriend Sarah
0:00:56 > 0:00:57and we're from Hampton in Middlesex.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00And these are today's contestants.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Thanks, all of you. We'll find out more about you throughout the show.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07Just one more person to introduce.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Backpacking around the world of facts,
0:01:09 > 0:01:12so he hasn't washed for six weeks! Sorry about that!
0:01:12 > 0:01:14It's my Pointless friend, Richard! Hiya!
0:01:14 > 0:01:17Hi, everybody! Hiya!
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Good day to you. And to you!
0:01:21 > 0:01:24It's going to be a good day, as well.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26We've got Jan and Jess back from last time. They were very good.
0:01:26 > 0:01:31Very good. Jan gave us a pointless answer, her very first answer.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33They got through to the head-to-head. Unlucky to lose that,
0:01:33 > 0:01:36I think. Yeah. But they're going to be tough to beat.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39On podium one, we have all sorts of combinations,
0:01:39 > 0:01:44friends, brother and sister, father and son. We've got father-in-law and son-in-law, which is rare.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47I would say, Graham, that's a high-risk strategy!
0:01:47 > 0:01:50I would put that down as. Don't you think?
0:01:50 > 0:01:54Yes. Mind you, I think Brian looks quite nice. Do you?
0:01:54 > 0:01:57As opposed... As opposed to me?!
0:01:57 > 0:02:00No, but... I can hear him saying things like, "Ho, ho! Don't worry!"
0:02:03 > 0:02:07He's the sort of guy who, on the train home, would go, "Latvia was a perfectly good answer, Graham.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10"It's not... You weren't a disappointment to me on the wedding day
0:02:10 > 0:02:12"and you're not a disappointment to me now."
0:02:14 > 0:02:19The first round, easy, the second round, quite tricky today, I would say.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22A real mix of skills needed for the first two rounds.
0:02:22 > 0:02:23OK. Thanks very much.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26All our questions have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30Our contestants need to find the obscure answers those 100 people didn't get.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Everyone's trying to find a pointless answer,
0:02:32 > 0:02:34one that none of our 100 people gave.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37Each time that happens, we will add ?250 to the jackpot.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Alex and Anna didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:02:39 > 0:02:41so we add another ?1,000 to that.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45So today's jackpot starts off at ?8,250.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51Right. If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless!
0:02:57 > 0:03:01In this first round, I'll take an answer from each of you but there is to be no conferring.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04At the end of the round, the pair with the highest score will be heading home.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08OK. Our first category today is Pop Music.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Pop Music.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13Can you all decide in your pairs who's going first and who second.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21OK. The question concerns...
0:03:24 > 0:03:28Number One singles from the 1980s. Richard?
0:03:28 > 0:03:32On each pass, we'll show you the names of seven singles that were Number Ones during the 1980s.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35You just need to tell us the act who had a Number One single with that song.
0:03:35 > 0:03:3814 in all to have a go at at home, so very best of luck.
0:03:38 > 0:03:43Thanks very much. We want the artists who had a hit with these Number One singles.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02I'll read those one last time.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Now, Brian and Graham, you all drew lots before the show
0:04:14 > 0:04:16and today you are going to go first.
0:04:16 > 0:04:21Brian, I'm going to take a punt and say this probably isn't your dream category!
0:04:21 > 0:04:25It is my nightmare category, I'm afraid! Bad luck. Brian, what do you do?
0:04:25 > 0:04:27I'm a retired charity fundraiser.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30How long did you do that for? Six years.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32OK. What do you do with your retirement, Brian?
0:04:32 > 0:04:37I play golf rather badly. I sing in choral societies,
0:04:37 > 0:04:39slightly less badly!
0:04:39 > 0:04:40And I'm interested in bird watching.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44Good stuff. Now, then. Let's get this over with!
0:04:44 > 0:04:45I think we'd better!
0:04:45 > 0:04:48Anything there you think you could have a reasonable punt at?
0:04:48 > 0:04:49Yes, there's one I know.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51I think it'll be a high score,
0:04:51 > 0:04:53but at least it's not going to be 100.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55The Winner Takes It All, ABBA.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57ABBA, says Brian, for The Winner Takes It All.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01Is that right, and if it is, how many of our 100 people said ABBA?
0:05:02 > 0:05:04It's right.
0:05:06 > 0:05:0851. Not bad, Brian!
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Not bad at all. 51 for ABBA.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16Well played, Brian. We call that damage limitation on this show!
0:05:16 > 0:05:18It's the eighth of their nine Number One singles.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21OK. Jonny, welcome back.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Tell us what happened last time.
0:05:23 > 0:05:28We were part of the 200 Club, and we were happy, because it was a category we knew nothing about!
0:05:28 > 0:05:31It was actors in pairs of TV shows. That's correct.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34OK. We want the names of the artists who had hits with these singles.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37What about this board? What about this round?
0:05:37 > 0:05:39I actually think I know four of them,
0:05:39 > 0:05:42but it's whether I'm going to go for them or not.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45What? You might go for the one you don't know?!
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Yeah, possibly! Yeah!
0:05:48 > 0:05:52But I'm not too sure on them, because I was born in 1982. So...
0:05:52 > 0:05:56Congratulations! I think one or two of them are after I was born.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59So it's probably the highest, but I'm going for Eye of the Tiger.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02I'm going to say Survivor.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Eye of the Tiger by Survivor, says Jonny.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many of our 100 people said Survivor?
0:06:09 > 0:06:10It's right.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Not bad at all.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26They only had two hits, Survivor. That is far and away the best known.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Sylvester Stallone asked them to write it,
0:06:28 > 0:06:31after being refused permission to use Another One Bites The Dust by Queen
0:06:31 > 0:06:35in Rocky. So he needed a song, and quick!
0:06:35 > 0:06:37And he just knew the guys from Survivor?
0:06:37 > 0:06:40He knew Dave and Steve from Survivor.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Because they played in his local and he said, "Come up with a song."
0:06:43 > 0:06:46"I'm thinking maybe Eye of the Tiger, or something like that."
0:06:46 > 0:06:48He said, "Could I have Eye of the Rhinoceros,
0:06:48 > 0:06:52and Steve, cos he already had a song, said, "How about something with two syllables?"
0:06:52 > 0:06:56So for a long time it was Eye of the Dolphin,
0:06:56 > 0:06:59and then it was Eye of the Tiger. I think the best.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02OK. Thank you, Richard. Jan. Yes.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Last time, fantastic performance.
0:07:04 > 0:07:09Up to a point! No, no, what do you mean? Well, yes, you're right. Up to the head-to-head,
0:07:09 > 0:07:15where you narrowly lost out. But you were the lowest scorers. We had a pointless answer from you.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18You're not looking the happiest I've seen you!
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Well, I know one and I sort of know one.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25I'm not sure of the one that I sort of know, so I'll go for Tide is High and Blondie.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28The Tide is High, Blondie, says Jan.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Is it right, and how many of our 100 said Blondie?
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Well done. It's right. 51 our high, 18 our low.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39You've passed 51. 37. Perfectly respectable.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48Originally performed by a group called The Paragons. It's a cover version.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51I didn't know that. No? No, I didn't know it was a cover.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53There you go. The Paragons.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56Alan. Hello. Hi, Alan.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59Welcome to Pointless. What do you do, Alan?
0:07:59 > 0:08:01I teach adults with learning disabilities.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05Now, in your spare time, Alan, what do you like to get up to?
0:08:05 > 0:08:09What are your areas of expertise? I like sports. I play cricket.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12I play football for my local team, AFC Hampton.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16I also like gaming, card games, board games, that sort of thing.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20Now, you're the last person to have this board. Can you talk us through it and fill in the blanks?
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Ghost Town is by The Specials.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25Candy Girl, I don't know.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27There's No-One Quite Like Grandma
0:08:27 > 0:08:30I believe is St Winifred's School Choir,
0:08:30 > 0:08:34And Too Shy, I think is the rather awful Kajagoogoo.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38So I'm going to go for There's No-One Quite Like Grandma
0:08:38 > 0:08:40and St Winifred's School Choir.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42St Winifred's School Choir. OK.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46Let's see if Alan's right with that and if he is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50It's right.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59Wow! Look at that. Ten. Very well done, Alan. The best score of the round so far.
0:09:03 > 0:09:04Just going to pick you up on one thing, Alan.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07What's wrong with Kajagoogoo?
0:09:07 > 0:09:11Is it just Limahl's hair? It was the mullets. The mullets.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Nothing wrong with Kajagoogoo. A bit of hair.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Yes, St Winifred's School Choir. Their only hit.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20Kajagoogoo is the right answer and would have scored 21 points.
0:09:20 > 0:09:25St Winifred's was a better answer. Ghost Town, you're right, The Specials.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27That would have scored more points at 15.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31And the best answer on the board is Candy Girl by New Edition.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Well done if you said that. Two points.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Thanks very much. We're halfway through the round.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Let's look at the scores. Alan, well done. Great low score there of ten.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42That stands you and Sarah in good stead. Up to 18 with Jonny and Robert.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Up to 37, Jan and Jess.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48Brian, you just about managed it. 51 not bad. Graham,
0:09:48 > 0:09:50you look quietly confident.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53I think you'll find a nice low-scoring answer to keep you in the game.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57Best of luck. Can the second players please now take their places at the podium.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03OK. Let's put seven more singles on the board. Here they come.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19I'll read those one last time.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Sarah, welcome. Thank you. Good to have you here.
0:10:31 > 0:10:36What do you do, Sarah? I work in the bakery section of my lovely local supermarket.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40Ooh, that's fun! Yes. I like driving past supermarkets' bakery sections
0:10:40 > 0:10:45just to smell the bakery section! The wonderful smell of hot croissants. Heavenly!
0:10:45 > 0:10:50When you're not in the bakery at your lovely local supermarket, what do you get up to?
0:10:50 > 0:10:53I love cooking. There's no getting away from food.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56I do yoga twice a week, which keeps me relaxed,
0:10:56 > 0:10:59and I love cricket as well.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Good. Now, you're on ten. The high scorers on 51 are Graham and Brian.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05A score of 40 or less sees you through.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Yes, thanks, Al, I appreciate that a lot!
0:11:08 > 0:11:15I know a few. I'm going for one that I hope will be quite low, and that's Orinoco Flow by Enya.
0:11:15 > 0:11:20Enya, says Sarah. There's your red line. Get below that and you're definitely in Round Two.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22Let's see if that's right, and how many people said it?
0:11:22 > 0:11:24It's right.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Through you go. Very well done. Just. Look at that. 32.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33Takes your total up to 42.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38It was quite an unlikely Number One hit,
0:11:38 > 0:11:40but the producer Rob Dickens said he got a call from Tower Records
0:11:40 > 0:11:47saying, "We played your song over the PA, and within five minutes they'd bought every copy."
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Every single one just went, like that.
0:11:49 > 0:11:50And they knew it would be a Number One.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53Jess, now, then. Remind us what you do.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55I'm a teacher, an English teacher.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58An English teacher at secondary school? Yes.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00In your spare time, what do you do?
0:12:00 > 0:12:04Travelling, music. What's your favourite period of music?
0:12:04 > 0:12:10Not the '80s. No? No, the '90s. Are you sure? Yeah.
0:12:10 > 0:12:11It's terrible.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14Really? I know two,
0:12:14 > 0:12:16and I've got a feeling they'll both be really high.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19I Want To Know What Love Is, Foreigner.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22Foreigner, says Jess. Here's your red line. It's quite low.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26It's right.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Ooh! 15!
0:12:36 > 0:12:3915, taking your total up to 52.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Yes. Everyone knows the song,
0:12:41 > 0:12:44but putting the band to the song is the difficult thing there.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46So it's a fairly good score.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Their only ever Number One in the UK.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51Very good. I think that ought to keep you in the game. I think.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54It's all down to Graham. Robert, welcome back to the show.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Remind us what you do, Robert.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59I'm a care officer in a secure children's centre.
0:12:59 > 0:13:00And in your spare time?
0:13:00 > 0:13:02I run a board games club in York.
0:13:02 > 0:13:06I also do geocaching. Have you heard of that? Oh, have I?!
0:13:06 > 0:13:10For people who don't know what it is, it's a high-tech game of global hide and seek.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13All around the world about two million hidden things.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17People put the GPS co-ordinates online. Wow. That's exciting.
0:13:17 > 0:13:21This starts off the game. One day, this will turn into something much more intriguing!
0:13:21 > 0:13:23We'll all end up having to do this!
0:13:23 > 0:13:25It'll be mandatory. Yeah, yeah.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28We'll all be finding stuff.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32Anyway, Robert. You need to score 33 or less.
0:13:32 > 0:13:33How do we feel about this board?
0:13:33 > 0:13:37There are three I know. Based on the way others are scoring,
0:13:37 > 0:13:39I'm going to do the really boring thing and play safe
0:13:39 > 0:13:43and my inner guilt is going to say Ashes to Ashes and David Bowie.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46David Bowie, says Robert, for Ashes to Ashes.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49Here's your red line. Get below that and you're into Round Two.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Let's see how many of our 100 people said David Bowie.
0:13:52 > 0:13:53It's right.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Ooh! 36!
0:14:02 > 0:14:0536. Well, Graham's margin is getting wider and wider.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07That gives you a total of 54.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09You are the current high scorers.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12The second of five number one hits for David Bowie.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15The most expensive video ever made, at the time.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Yeah, that was a great video.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20It had a sort of JCB, didn't it, and they were all walking in front of it.
0:14:22 > 0:14:26Yeah. Sorry, I'm really literally just thinking about geocaching!
0:14:28 > 0:14:29Yeah.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33Anyway, thank you very much, Richard.
0:14:33 > 0:14:37Now, Graham, oh, we have a very exciting challenge on our hands here.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39The high scorers are Robert and Jonnie on 54.
0:14:39 > 0:14:45You're on 51. Two or less. And who knows, there might be some low-scoring answers on that board.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48Do you think you can talk us through? Before you do that, what do you do?
0:14:48 > 0:14:50I'm an insight consultant. Yes.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Tell me a little bit more about what they do.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58Is it marketing? It's glorified market research, yes.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02Sounds quite fun, though? It's fantastic. Absolutely amazing.
0:15:02 > 0:15:06What sort of things do you do? What do people come to you for your insight on?
0:15:06 > 0:15:10One of my best projects was travelling around Asia,
0:15:10 > 0:15:15watching football fans in various countries
0:15:15 > 0:15:17to see how they related to their teams!
0:15:17 > 0:15:20That sounds fun. It was wonderful.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23Three months doing that!
0:15:23 > 0:15:27Was that academic in any way, or is it largely just hanging out in bars?
0:15:27 > 0:15:33There was some imbibing taking place, cos that's part of it, you see.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Yeah, yeah.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37So, who had hits with these singles?
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Is this your sort of vintage, Graham?
0:15:39 > 0:15:42What are you saying? Yes, it is! Yes, sadly.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44No, it's a good vintage.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47Well, I know The Lady in Red, and I'm not going to go there.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53Frankie and Spirit in the Sky, I actually can't remember.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56And Crying is a Roy Orbison song,
0:15:56 > 0:16:00but I think it was covered in 1980.
0:16:00 > 0:16:05I seem to remember driving a tractor back then and listening to the radio!
0:16:05 > 0:16:08That particular song was on.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11So we've got nothing to lose. Absolutely.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13I'm going to go for Don McLean.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16What were you doing your insight on when you were driving a tractor?
0:16:16 > 0:16:18Turnips?
0:16:18 > 0:16:21Not a lot. I was cleaning out pigs and things.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25Not a lot of insight there. Well, listen.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28This could be very exciting. You're on 51. You want to score two or less.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31You're saying Don McLean for Crying.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Is it right in 1980 and how many people said it?
0:16:33 > 0:16:35There's your red line. Very, very low.
0:16:37 > 0:16:38It's right!
0:16:38 > 0:16:40That's a great answer, Graham.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Still going down!
0:16:44 > 0:16:47Oh, you've done it! That's exactly what you needed!
0:16:49 > 0:16:52Very well done. Very well done indeed.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Takes your total up to 53.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56That's... That's an insight!
0:16:56 > 0:17:01Tell you what, that's a great insight! 53. Brilliant.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03How about that? That's absolutely terrific work.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Phew! What a way to get through!
0:17:05 > 0:17:08And it's the only answer on the board that would have seen you through.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12The Lady in Red, you avoided, was Chris de Burgh. Scored 43.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16Frankie. Sister Sledge. Yes, Sister Sledge would have scored ten.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19And Spirit in the Sky? Doctor and the Medics. Doctor and the Medics.
0:17:19 > 0:17:2317. So two points is terrific work.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25That was very exciting indeed.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29Thanks. So at the end of our first round, Robert and Jonny, I'm so sorry. Ah, well.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31All this excitement because Graham and Brian have gone through,
0:17:31 > 0:17:34and we're ignoring the pain and agony on podium two.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38I'm sorry you have to leave us. It was Round Two last time, and Round One this time.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40So sorry. It's been lovely having you on the show.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43Thanks very much for playing. Robert and Jonnie.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:17:52 > 0:17:57So, three pairs remain. At the end of this round, we'll say goodbye to another pair.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00That was so close. Hardly any points in it at all.
0:18:00 > 0:18:05Graham, best answer of the whole round and just in the nick of time as well.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07Good luck to all three pairs.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10Our category for round two is British Politics.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14Can you all decide in your pairs who's going first and who's going second.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:20 > 0:18:26Let's find out what the question is. We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:18:28 > 0:18:32..as they could. Post-war Chancellors of the Exchequer. Richard?
0:18:32 > 0:18:36I thought we all needed calming down a bit after all the geocaching talk.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39So we're looking for the name of any Chancellor of the Exchequer
0:18:39 > 0:18:44at any time since the election of Atlee's government in 1945.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47Best of luck. Thanks very much indeed.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50OK. Graham, you can kick this round off.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53I'm going to go with Jim Callaghan.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55Jim Callaghan, says Graham. Jim Callaghan.
0:18:55 > 0:19:00Now, is that a punt? You're supposing he worked his way up via the Chancellery?
0:19:00 > 0:19:02I think he did. OK. Good stuff.
0:19:02 > 0:19:06Let's find out. Is Jim Callaghan right, and if it is, how many of our 100 people said it?
0:19:08 > 0:19:09Absolutely right.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16Ooh, it's a good answer. Down it goes to three, Graham!
0:19:18 > 0:19:21All is looking good on podium one. Well done, Graham.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27Very well played, Graham. He's like the perfect son-in-law, isn't he?
0:19:27 > 0:19:31Unbelievable. Yes, from '64 to '67 as Labour Chancellor.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33Thanks very much. Now, Jess.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37Hi. All we need is the name of any post-war Chancellor of the Exchequer.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39How do we feel about this?
0:19:39 > 0:19:43Um... Hmm. I've got two names in my head.
0:19:43 > 0:19:49One of them is really obvious. So I don't know if he was Chancellor of the Exchequer, but Robin Cook.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Robin Cook. Let's see if that's right, and if it is,
0:19:52 > 0:19:54let's see how many of our 100 people said Robin Cook.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02Bad luck, Jess. I'm sorry. I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer
0:20:02 > 0:20:04and scores the maximum 100 points.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08Sorry, Jess. Held all sorts of government posts, but not Chancellor, I'm afraid.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Thanks very much. Now, Alan.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14Alan, are you comfortable with this as a category?
0:20:14 > 0:20:18Not entirely. I was going to say James Callaghan.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21But I can't any more. I think I'm going to take a punt.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25I'm going to go for Geoffrey Howe.
0:20:25 > 0:20:31Geoffrey Howe, says Alan. Let's see if that's right, and if it is, let's see how many people said that.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33It's right.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Look at that! Four. Very well done indeed, Alan.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47Good answer. Geoffrey Howe.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50Well played, Alan. He was Margaret Thatcher's first Chancellor.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52He had a dog called Budget!
0:20:56 > 0:20:59He used to take him out of a box once a year! No he, didn't!
0:21:00 > 0:21:03But he did have a dog called Budget. Let's have a look at the scores.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06Three the best score of that pass, Graham.
0:21:06 > 0:21:12Very well done. Four, only one point behind, and then up to 100 where we find Jess and Jan.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15So looking pretty good at one end of the spectrum
0:21:15 > 0:21:16and a bit scary at the other!
0:21:16 > 0:21:20So Jan, we need a very low score from you in the next round.
0:21:20 > 0:21:24We hope that somehow gets you through to the head-to-head. Best of luck with that.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:21:30 > 0:21:35Sarah, we want the name of any post-war Chancellor of the Exchequer.
0:21:35 > 0:21:39Definitely not a good category for me. I'm not a politics person at all.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42But again, Alan has set me up quite well. He has.
0:21:42 > 0:21:47So I'm going to play pretty safe and say George Osborne.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50"Pretty" safe and say George Osborne! Very safe!
0:21:50 > 0:21:53OK. Well, 100 is the high score at the moment.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56You are on four, so 95 or less sees you through.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00Let's see if George Osborne can get you through to the next round.
0:22:00 > 0:22:01There's your red line.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03Yep.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06And down it goes.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Look at that! He's only our current Chancellor!
0:22:08 > 0:22:1032 of our 100 people.
0:22:13 > 0:22:1632 people knew that. 36 is your total.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19That's impressive and reassuring, isn't it?
0:22:19 > 0:22:22The traditional high scoring of a politics round.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26Yeah. Yeah. His real name is Gideon. He was born Gideon but dropped that when he was a teenager.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29Thanks very much. Now, then, Jan.
0:22:29 > 0:22:33We want the names of any post-war Chancellors of the Exchequer.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36Well, I've got a risky one, and I might as well go with it.
0:22:36 > 0:22:41Why not? You've scored one pointless answer so far, in your Pointless career.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45That sounds awful. "Pointless career"! I mean career on Pointless!
0:22:45 > 0:22:49Let's see if you can score another. Iain Macleod.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52Iain Macleod. There's no red line for you as you are our high scorers,
0:22:52 > 0:22:55but let's see what Iain Macleod scores.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58It's right.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03If our current Chancellor scored 36...
0:23:03 > 0:23:05Iain Macleod scores one!
0:23:09 > 0:23:12Very well done, Jan. That's a brilliant, brilliant answer.
0:23:12 > 0:23:17I thought that deserved the full pointless. But one person remembered Iain Macleod.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21Terrific answer. He's the only chancellor not to ever deliver a budget.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25Brian, now, then. The high scorers on 101 are Jan and Jess.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28You're on three. 97 or less is all you need to get through.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31I have a feeling you might well have a pointless answer up your sleeve.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34I might have and I might not.
0:23:34 > 0:23:35Two names came into my mind.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39One of which would be a bit of a punt, and I'm not going to risk that.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41So I'm going to say Stafford Cripps.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44Stafford Cripps, says Brian. Stafford Cripps.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47Here comes your red line. Nice and high.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Get below that and you're in the head-to-head.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51How many of our 100 people said Stafford Cripps?
0:23:53 > 0:23:55Very well done.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Let's see how far down it goes!
0:23:58 > 0:24:00Is it going to be pointless?
0:24:00 > 0:24:02No, two for Stafford Cripps!
0:24:04 > 0:24:07It's still an excellent answer, Brian, whichever way you look at it.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09That takes your total up to five.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13Yes, he served under Attlee. Very well played, Brian.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15He was well known for his rigid austerity programmes.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19They say Winston Churchill, famously, when told that Sir Stafford Cripps had died,
0:24:19 > 0:24:21said, "How do they know?"
0:24:23 > 0:24:26Maybe not true! What was your even riskier one than Stafford Cripps?
0:24:26 > 0:24:30Anthony Barber. Anthony Barber would have scored one point!
0:24:30 > 0:24:33There are a few pointless answers here. Let's take a look at them.
0:24:33 > 0:24:37In the early '50s Hugh Gaitskell was Chancellor, a pointless answer.
0:24:37 > 0:24:42Peter Thorneycroft for the Tories, and Rab Butler was a surprising pointless answer.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44There were a few other one-pointers.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48Macmillan was a one-pointer. Hugh Dalton, Reginald Maudlin, Derick Heathcote-Amory,
0:24:48 > 0:24:50all one-pointers.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53And two points you could have had Selwyn Lloyd and Roy Jenkins.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55Apart from that, we've had two, three and four. Terrific answers.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58Let's take a look at the ones most of our 100 people said.
0:25:05 > 0:25:06Thanks very much, Richard.
0:25:06 > 0:25:11So at the end of our second round, Jan and Jess are leaving us. I can't believe this!
0:25:11 > 0:25:15Very sad. But in the cut and thrust of this extraordinary edition of Pointless,
0:25:15 > 0:25:19and you were the hot favourites coming in, but we have to say goodbye. It's a great shame.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23Thanks so much for playing, Jan and Jess! Brilliant contestants.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29But for the remaining two pairs, it's time for the head-to-head.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37Congratulations, Brian and Graham, Sarah and Alan.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40You're one step closer to the final and a chance to play for our jackpot which stands at...
0:25:45 > 0:25:48We need to decide who's going to play for that money.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50So you'll now go head-to-head.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53The big difference is you're now allowed to confer.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56The first pair to win two questions will play for the jackpot.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58You've seen off our two returning pairs. That's fantastic.
0:25:58 > 0:26:03Sent them scattered! Brian and Graham, amazing low scores throughout the show.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06Fantastic. Sarah and Alan, very well done. Geoffrey Howe.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09He had a dog called Budget, you know. I didn't know that!
0:26:09 > 0:26:12Yeah. Did not know that. No. Shame.
0:26:14 > 0:26:18You've both played very well so far. Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25Here comes your first question.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27And it concerns...
0:26:29 > 0:26:31Female authors. Richard?
0:26:31 > 0:26:35We'll show you five pictures of female authors. Can you name them, please?
0:26:35 > 0:26:39Let's reveal our five female authors. Here they come. We have got...
0:27:03 > 0:27:05Five female authors.
0:27:05 > 0:27:09Brian and Graham, you've played best so far, so you get to go first.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12WHISPERING
0:27:22 > 0:27:27We're going to go with E, Agatha Christie.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30E, Agatha Christie, say Brian and Graham.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33E, Agatha Christie. Sarah and Alan, can you talk us through the board?
0:27:36 > 0:27:42I think A is someone who's written a lot of female-orientated crime things.
0:27:42 > 0:27:46Possibly the one who wrote Jane Tennison and things, but I can't remember her name.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48Lynda La Plante. Lynda La Plante, yes.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51B, Jane Austen.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53C is J.K.Rowling.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56For some reason, D popped into our head as Margaret Attwood,
0:27:56 > 0:27:58but we're not massively confident.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01So I think we'll go for... B. B, Jane Austen.
0:28:01 > 0:28:06B, Jane Austen. So we have E, Agatha Christie, and B, Jane Austen.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08Brian and Graham have said Agatha Christie for E.
0:28:08 > 0:28:12Is that right, and if so, how many of our 100 people said Agatha Christie.
0:28:14 > 0:28:15It's right.
0:28:24 > 0:28:2631 for Agatha Christie.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29Now, Sarah and Alan have said Jane Austen for B.
0:28:29 > 0:28:33Let's see if that's right, and if so, how many of our 100 said Jane Austen.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36It's right.
0:28:37 > 0:28:3931 it has to beat.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41Which it does! Look at that!
0:28:41 > 0:28:4220 for Jane Austen.
0:28:46 > 0:28:50Very well done, Sarah and Alan. After one question, you're ahead one-nil.
0:28:50 > 0:28:53It's going to be a cracking head-to-head. Mm-hm
0:28:53 > 0:28:56Well played, both teams. Let's fill in the board now.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59A is not a mystery writer. Something quite different.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02That is E.L.James, writer of Fifty Shades of Grey.
0:29:02 > 0:29:05Would have scored you six points.
0:29:05 > 0:29:09C is J.K.Rowling. Scored 57.
0:29:09 > 0:29:13And the best answer on the board is D,
0:29:13 > 0:29:16We all know the name. It's Harper Lee.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19Harper Lee, writer of To Kill A Mockingbird. Scored one point.
0:29:19 > 0:29:21Thanks very much indeed.
0:29:21 > 0:29:22Here comes your second question.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25Brian and Graham, you have to win this one to stay in the game.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27Good luck. It concerns...
0:29:30 > 0:29:31Ivy League Universities.
0:29:31 > 0:29:35We'll show you the names now of five Ivy League universities from the United States,
0:29:35 > 0:29:37but we've removed alternate letters.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39Fill them in and give us the best answer.
0:29:39 > 0:29:43Let's reveal our five Ivy League universities. Here they are.
0:29:55 > 0:29:56I'll read those again.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06Sarah and Alan, you go first this time.
0:30:11 > 0:30:13OK. We think we know them all.
0:30:13 > 0:30:16OK. So we'll go for the one that I hadn't heard of
0:30:16 > 0:30:18that Sarah came up with, which is -
0:30:18 > 0:30:21did you say Connell? Yeah. Connell.
0:30:21 > 0:30:22Connell? Second from bottom.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25OK. Connell, say Sarah and Alan.
0:30:25 > 0:30:30Now, Brian and Graham, the board is all yours. Talk us through it, if you can.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33The first one is fairly obvious, that's Yale.
0:30:33 > 0:30:37The only other one that we are confident of is the second one,
0:30:37 > 0:30:40and that's what we're going with, which is Princeton.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43Princeton. So we have Connell versus Princeton.
0:30:43 > 0:30:48Sarah and Alan said Connell. Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said Connell.
0:30:52 > 0:30:56Bad luck, Sarah. I think I heard you say you know what your mistake was.
0:30:56 > 0:31:00Brian and Graham, your answer merely has to be right for you to win this question.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02Let's see if it is.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06Yes, it most certainly is.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08How many people said Princeton?
0:31:10 > 0:31:11Good answer. 15 for Princeton.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17But the key thing is, it was correct, which means you win that point.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20You're back in the game. It's one-all.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22I think, Sarah, you know it's not Connell, it's... Cornell.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25Cornell would have scored 14 points.
0:31:27 > 0:31:31Would have seen you through to the final. And you both know the middle one?
0:31:31 > 0:31:35Dartmouth. That's the best answer on the board. That scored six points.
0:31:35 > 0:31:36Also would have seen you through.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38The top one is Yale.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41Scores 76, and the bottom one Harvard.
0:31:41 > 0:31:43Scores 66.
0:31:43 > 0:31:45Thanks very much indeed. OK.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48As predicted, it is very, very close indeed.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51It all comes down to a third question.
0:31:51 > 0:31:54Whoever wins this goes through to the final to play for the jackpot. Best of luck.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56It concerns...
0:31:59 > 0:32:04Michael Owen. Richard? What better way to settle this heavyweight battle,
0:32:04 > 0:32:07than five clues to facts about Michael Owen?
0:32:07 > 0:32:10If you give us the best answer, you go through to play for the jackpot. Best of luck.
0:32:10 > 0:32:14Thanks very much indeed. Let's reveal our five clues. Here they come.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29I'll read those one last time.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43Brian and Graham, it's you to start this time.
0:32:46 > 0:32:51OK. The only one I feel really confident about
0:32:51 > 0:32:53is where he was born.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56The city he was born closest to, I believe, is Chester.
0:32:56 > 0:33:00Chester. Yes. OK, Chester, say Brian and Graham.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03Now, Sarah and Alan, do you fancy talking us through the board?
0:33:03 > 0:33:06I know the first team he played for was Chester.
0:33:06 > 0:33:10That's probably right, Chester. No idea on the horse-racing stables.
0:33:10 > 0:33:16The age when he made his debut, I believe he was the youngest player for England on his debut.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19That probably makes him 17.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21The number of goals I would guess at 34,
0:33:21 > 0:33:24but I will go his age was 17.
0:33:24 > 0:33:2617, say Sarah and Alan.
0:33:26 > 0:33:2917 when he made his England debut.
0:33:29 > 0:33:34So, Brian and Graham, this is exciting. It will decide who goes through to the final.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37Brian and Graham say Chester. Let's find out if it's right,
0:33:37 > 0:33:38and if it is, how many people said it.
0:33:40 > 0:33:41It is right.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48Very well done. 19.
0:33:51 > 0:33:5319 for Chester.
0:33:53 > 0:33:58Now, Sarah and Alan, you've decided 17 feels the right sort of age
0:33:58 > 0:34:01for him to make his debut. And the right number on the tower as well!
0:34:01 > 0:34:04OK. Here's hoping.
0:34:04 > 0:34:0717. Is that right, and if it is, how many people said it?
0:34:10 > 0:34:14Bad luck, Sarah and Alan. I'm afraid 17 in an incorrect answer.
0:34:14 > 0:34:19Which means, Brian and Graham, after three questions, you're through to the final two-one.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22Very well played both teams. Yes, Chester scored 19.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25You thought it was 17. It was actually 18 and that would have scored 16!
0:34:28 > 0:34:3016 points would have seen you through.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33I think a lot of people must have thought it was 17 for that to be such a low score.
0:34:33 > 0:34:37Tough luck. The number of goals he scored for England was 40.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40That would have scored nine.
0:34:40 > 0:34:44The Spanish club he played for was Real Madrid.
0:34:44 > 0:34:45That would have scored you 26.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47So that wouldn't have beaten Chester.
0:34:47 > 0:34:51And the horse-racing stables he co-owns, the best answer up there,
0:34:51 > 0:34:53is Manor House.
0:34:53 > 0:34:54Very well done if you said that.
0:34:54 > 0:34:58Thanks very much, Richard. So the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head,
0:34:58 > 0:35:00I'm afraid, Sarah and Alan.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02Oh, that was very well played, though.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04Very exciting.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06Cornell was so unfortunate.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08You would have stomped through there.
0:35:08 > 0:35:12Anyway, we're going to see you again next time. We look forward to that.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14But thanks very much for playing, Sarah and Alan!
0:35:18 > 0:35:21But for Brian and Graham, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26Congratulations, Brian and Graham.
0:35:26 > 0:35:30You've seen off all the competition and won our coveted Pointless trophy. Very well done.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42And the jackpot stands at ?8,250!
0:35:46 > 0:35:48I'm delighted you've made it through to the final,
0:35:48 > 0:35:52because you've played so well. It's richly deserved.
0:35:52 > 0:35:56What I haven't asked is what your strong suit is.
0:35:56 > 0:35:57What's a good area for you, a good category?
0:35:57 > 0:36:00Geography would be a nice one.
0:36:00 > 0:36:01Natural history would be quite nice.
0:36:01 > 0:36:05OK. You start this round off by choosing a category.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07Your choice of four options are...
0:36:16 > 0:36:19Best-selling albums and chick-lit, you're on your own.
0:36:19 > 0:36:24I don't fancy chick-lit. I don't feel confident about the albums.
0:36:24 > 0:36:29I'd rather go for tennis than Rome. Instead of Ancient Rome? OK?
0:36:29 > 0:36:31I'd rather. We'll do tennis.
0:36:31 > 0:36:35Tennis it is. Richard? Here are your three choices.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37You can take your answers from any or all of these.
0:36:37 > 0:36:43Any player who's won a career golden slam since 1988, please.
0:36:43 > 0:36:47The career golden slam is the traditional grand slam plus an Olympic gold medal.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49Singles or doubles, since 1988.
0:36:49 > 0:36:53Any city that has hosted a Davis Cup final.
0:36:53 > 0:36:59Or any woman who's won the Wimbledon ladies' singles title just once.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02From 1968 all the way through to 2012.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04If they've won once and once only.
0:37:04 > 0:37:06Best of luck in the studio and good luck at home.
0:37:06 > 0:37:09Thanks very much. You've got up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:09 > 0:37:13To win that jackpot, you need to find just one pointless answer.
0:37:13 > 0:37:16The answers you give can come from any of these categories.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18It's entirely up to you.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21It can be all three from one, one from each. Entirely up to you.
0:37:21 > 0:37:23Are you ready? Yes.
0:37:23 > 0:37:25OK. Let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:37:25 > 0:37:27There they are. Your time starts now.
0:37:27 > 0:37:32I don't want to do the Davis Cup host cities. I'm not confident at all about that.
0:37:32 > 0:37:35How do you feel about golden slams?
0:37:38 > 0:37:43The other one, one of the Williams sisters. Probably Serena.
0:37:43 > 0:37:49Serena. I think the Davis Cup might be Buenos Aires or Chicago.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52Davis Cup host city? OK, go for that.
0:37:52 > 0:37:58I would go for woman who's won the Wimbledon ladies' singles title once only as Maria Bueno.
0:37:58 > 0:38:00Maria Bueno?
0:38:00 > 0:38:03So shall we have one of each? Yep.
0:38:03 > 0:38:06Yeah? Yeah. Sure? So decision's made.
0:38:06 > 0:38:09OK. Decision made. That was quick. We can stop the clock.
0:38:09 > 0:38:12Very business-like. A stealth raid!
0:38:12 > 0:38:14OK. What three answers are you going to give me?
0:38:14 > 0:38:17The golden slam, Serena Williams.
0:38:17 > 0:38:21Serena Williams. Davis Cup host city, Buenos Aires. Buenos Aires.
0:38:21 > 0:38:25And women who've won the Wimbledon ladies' singles title once only,
0:38:25 > 0:38:27Maria Bueno. Maria Bueno.
0:38:27 > 0:38:30Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:30 > 0:38:33You reckon Bueno? Yep. Maria Bueno.
0:38:33 > 0:38:36Maria Bueno we'll put last. Which is your least likely?
0:38:36 > 0:38:40The Davis Cup hosts. Buenos Aires we'll put first.
0:38:40 > 0:38:43Let's put those up on the board in that order. Here they are.
0:38:43 > 0:38:44We have got...
0:38:48 > 0:38:53Very, very best of luck. Your first answer, the one you thought was probably least likely
0:38:53 > 0:38:56to be pointless was Buenos Aires.
0:38:56 > 0:38:58Obviously if this is correct and it is pointless,
0:38:58 > 0:39:00you'll leave here with ?8,250.
0:39:00 > 0:39:03Graham, what would you do with your share of that?
0:39:03 > 0:39:07I originally thought we'd go and see the Northern Lights,
0:39:07 > 0:39:12but then I thought if there's enough money we'll buy a hot tub
0:39:12 > 0:39:14and a bottle of champagne.
0:39:15 > 0:39:18That's how we're going to... That's how we roll in Somerset!
0:39:18 > 0:39:21OK. That's good. Brian, how about you?
0:39:21 > 0:39:24I have family in Australia and USA,
0:39:24 > 0:39:28so I would go round the world and see them all. Excellent.
0:39:28 > 0:39:33Three very good answers on the board. Let's hope at least one of those wins you that jackpot.
0:39:33 > 0:39:37Let's find out. For ?8,250,
0:39:37 > 0:39:39has Buenos Aires ever hosted the Davis Cup final?
0:39:42 > 0:39:43No!
0:39:45 > 0:39:47Bad luck. OK. Two more answers on the board.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50Your second answer was Serena Williams.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53Again, this has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot.
0:39:53 > 0:40:00For ?8,250, let's find out has Serena Williams ever won the golden slam?
0:40:02 > 0:40:04She has.
0:40:04 > 0:40:08OK. Your first answer, Buenos Aires, was incorrect.
0:40:08 > 0:40:12Your second answer, Serena Williams, taking us down through the teens
0:40:12 > 0:40:15into single figures. Could be a hot tub... Oh, no! Not quite!
0:40:20 > 0:40:23Five for Serena Williams.
0:40:23 > 0:40:25OK. Everything is now riding on your third and final answer.
0:40:25 > 0:40:29But this was the one you thought was most likely to be pointless.
0:40:29 > 0:40:31If it is pointless, you will win that jackpot.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33For ?8,250,
0:40:33 > 0:40:39let's find out if Maria Bueno has won the Wimbledon women's singles title just once.
0:40:43 > 0:40:44Oh, no! Bad luck!
0:40:48 > 0:40:50Bad luck.
0:40:52 > 0:40:57What a shame! Three good answers there. One correct one,
0:40:57 > 0:40:59but I'm afraid none of them pointless.
0:40:59 > 0:41:02So I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of ?8,250.
0:41:02 > 0:41:03That rolls over onto the next show.
0:41:03 > 0:41:07But it's been wonderful having you on the programme. Thanks so much for playing.
0:41:07 > 0:41:09Really very good contestants indeed. Brian and Graham!
0:41:10 > 0:41:12Tremendous performance.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20You played terrifically.
0:41:20 > 0:41:23You've clearly got a great deal of respect for each other, and rightly so.
0:41:23 > 0:41:27Maria Bueno won it three times, and all of those were before the Open era anyway,
0:41:27 > 0:41:29so wouldn't accept it for two reasons.
0:41:29 > 0:41:34Buenos Aires, Argentina have played all sorts of Davis Cup matches there but never hosted the finals.
0:41:34 > 0:41:37The place to pick up the pointless answers, to win the jackpot,
0:41:37 > 0:41:40is on that career grand slam and on the doubles players.
0:41:40 > 0:41:43That's where the pointless answers are. There are seven.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46They've all done a doubles career grand slam. Here are some of them.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48You'll know them if you know your tennis.
0:41:48 > 0:41:51Woodforde and Woodbridge both completed that slam.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54Mike Bryan completed it, as did his brother, Bob Bryan.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56In tandem with him. Pam Shriver did.
0:41:56 > 0:42:00Gigi Fernandez did and Daniel Nestor also did.
0:42:00 > 0:42:03Those were the seven pointless answers. Well done if you said any of those.
0:42:03 > 0:42:05Davis Cup host cities.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07There are quite a few.
0:42:11 > 0:42:15You'd also have got the money for Adelaide, Auckland, Boston,
0:42:15 > 0:42:20Bratislava, Bucharest. There's quite a few. Nice, Philadelphia, Grenoble, Gothenburg.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23All those would have scored nothing and won you the money.
0:42:23 > 0:42:26And there's only one answer for the woman who's only won Wimbledon once.
0:42:26 > 0:42:29Conchita Martinez.
0:42:29 > 0:42:34Since the Open era she's the only person to have won it once who was a pointless answer.
0:42:34 > 0:42:37Very, very well done if you said that at home.
0:42:37 > 0:42:40Thanks very much. Did you know many of those?
0:42:40 > 0:42:43No. No. That's sort of a relief!
0:42:43 > 0:42:45Unfortunately we have to say goodbye, Brian and Graham.
0:42:45 > 0:42:49It's been wonderful having you. Thank you so much for playing. Brian and Graham.
0:42:53 > 0:42:56Sadly Brian and Graham didn't win our jackpot today so it rolls over onto the next show
0:42:56 > 0:43:00when we will be playing for ?9,250.
0:43:02 > 0:43:03Join us then to see if someone can win it.
0:43:03 > 0:43:07Meanwhile it's goodbye from Richard. Goodbye. And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
