0:00:14 > 0:00:17CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:21 > 0:00:25Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:25 > 0:00:28the quiz show where the aim of the game is to score as few points as you can.
0:00:28 > 0:00:32To do that, you need to find the answers that no-one else could think of. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35APPLAUSE
0:00:36 > 0:00:38And couple number one.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41Hi, I'm Janine, and this is my friend and work colleague Dave.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44I'm from Melksham in Wiltshire
0:00:44 > 0:00:48and Dave's from Llandudno in North Wales, but we both live in Leeds.
0:00:48 > 0:00:53- Couple number two.- Hi, my name's Sarah, this is my boyfriend Alan, and we're from Hampton in Middlesex.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56- Couple number three.- Hello, I'm Suzy and this is my boyfriend Mark
0:00:56 > 0:00:59- and we're both from Edinburgh. - And finally, couple number four.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Hi, I'm Ian, this is my brother Steve,
0:01:01 > 0:01:05I'm now from Reading, he's from Port Talbot.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08- And these are today's contestants. - CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:01:08 > 0:01:12Thanks, all of you. We'll find out more about you throughout the show.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Which leaves just one more person to introduce.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17He wanted me to tell you that he'll be selling novelty mugs and T-shirts
0:01:17 > 0:01:22- with his face on in the car park after the show. It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.- Hiya.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Hi, everybody. Hiya.
0:01:28 > 0:01:33Someone who came into the audience of the show recently had a brilliant idea for some Pointless merchandise,
0:01:33 > 0:01:37- a Pointless mug.- Oh, yeah.- You know you get those heat-sensitive mugs?
0:01:37 > 0:01:39She said, "Why don't you get a mug that's got the tower on it
0:01:39 > 0:01:42and then the more you drink, the tower goes down."
0:01:42 > 0:01:45- LAUGHTER - That's a great idea. - That's a brilliant idea.- Yeah.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Unfortunately for her, I own 100 percent of it.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52LAUGHTER Just a contractual thing you have to sign when you come here.
0:01:52 > 0:01:57Haven't we had some great shows recently? Some really properly smart contestants and great head-to-heads.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01We had Sarah and Alan last time, who were terrific,
0:02:01 > 0:02:04and they got knocked out in the head-to-head by another great pair.
0:02:04 > 0:02:09- We've had show after show of really good contestants.- But none of them have won the jackpot.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11None of them quite getting that jackpot. Really low scores
0:02:11 > 0:02:15but it hasn't quite come off for anybody, so it's all still there.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18So hopefully it's another cracker today. The money's nice.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22Got some nice questions. Question one today is my perfect question.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24I'm in heaven on question one. LAUGHTER
0:02:24 > 0:02:28Which is more an indication of me than the question, if I'm honest. LAUGHTER
0:02:28 > 0:02:33OK, thanks, Richard. All our questions have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36Our contestants need to find the obscure answers those 100 people didn't get.
0:02:36 > 0:02:41Everyone's trying to find a pointless answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48Brian and Graham didn't win the jackpot last time, so we add another £1,000,
0:02:48 > 0:02:52so today's jackpot starts off at £9,250.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00APPLAUSE
0:03:02 > 0:03:07OK, in this first round, I'll take an answer from each of you but there is to be no conferring.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09At the end of the round, the pair with the highest score
0:03:09 > 0:03:13will be heading home. So, our first category today is...
0:03:14 > 0:03:19There we are. Football. Decide in your pairs who'll go first, who'll go second.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name
0:03:29 > 0:03:36as many 2012/13 Premier League and Championship football grounds as they could.
0:03:36 > 0:03:402012/13 Premier League and Championship football grounds. Richard.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42We're looking for the name of the home ground of any team
0:03:42 > 0:03:47that played in the Premier League or the Championship in the 2012/13 season.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50- Very best of luck.- Thanks.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Janine and Dave, you all drew lots before the show,
0:03:52 > 0:03:56- and you are going to go first. Janine, welcome to Pointless. - Thank you.
0:03:56 > 0:04:01- What do you do in Leeds? - I work for an organisation called Specialist Autism Services
0:04:01 > 0:04:04and we support adults with Asperger's and autism.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08- Good stuff. And what do you do in your spare time?- Watch football.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10- Good.- Go to the gym, play some badminton,
0:04:10 > 0:04:15- go out with friends. - Good stuff. Right, so, what are you going to go for?
0:04:15 > 0:04:18- I'm going to say Carrow Road. - Carrow Road.
0:04:18 > 0:04:23OK, let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many of our 100 people said Carrow Road.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Absolutely right.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35- Five! - APPLAUSE
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Great start. Well done, Janine.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42Well played, Janine. The home ground of Norwich City.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46Moved there in 1935. Terrific start from podium one. Very tough place to be.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50- Fantastic. Very good. Now, Sarah, welcome back.- Thank you.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53- Ooh, the head-to-head round.- I know.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56Oh, and you knew. It was Ivy League universities.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59I knew that you had some good answers there. Dartmouth you had.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02- He's not going to listen to me again.- If you'd gone Dartmouth,
0:05:02 > 0:05:05- right now you'd be in Monte Carlo or something. - LAUGHTER
0:05:05 > 0:05:08I know. It's very upsetting.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Back to the present. Maybe it was a brilliant idea.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14Jackpot's just got a little bit bigger.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18- Fingers crossed. - Maybe that was all tactic. So, Sarah, remind us what you do.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21- I work in the bakery section of my local supermarket.- Mm!
0:05:21 > 0:05:26- We forgot to ask her to bring us any things.- Ohh.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29- We are such amateurs.- I know. - LAUGHTER
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Even just a pasty would've done.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Just something that's slightly out of date.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38- LAUGHTER - I love out of date!
0:05:38 > 0:05:40But that's the best thing about working in supermarkets.
0:05:40 > 0:05:45- You get all the stuff at the end of the day they're not allowed to sell. - Yeah. It's very good.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47OK, now, Sarah, what are you going to go for?
0:05:47 > 0:05:51I hate football, so this one is a struggle for me.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54But my company does sponsor a football team
0:05:54 > 0:05:57and they play, I hope, at Madejski Stadium.
0:05:57 > 0:06:02Madejski Stadium, says Sarah. Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said that.
0:06:11 > 0:06:16- Seven! Very well done indeed! - APPLAUSE
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Seven for Madejski Stadium.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Named after the Reading chairman, John Madejski.
0:06:21 > 0:06:27- It's the Reading ground.- Thanks. Now, Suzy...- Hello.- Welcome to Pointless.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31- What do you do?- I work at the National Library of Scotland.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35- That's fun. The one on George IV Bridge?- Yeah. - That's a beautiful place to work.
0:06:35 > 0:06:40- How long have you worked there? - About two years. - And what do you do there?
0:06:40 > 0:06:45I'm a reference services assistant, which is just another way of saying librarian
0:06:45 > 0:06:49- for a reference library.- You help people find things.- Yes.- Perfect.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53- What do you do in your spare time? - I actually took up kickboxing not that long ago.
0:06:53 > 0:06:58- Yeah.- Going well?- Second belt, yeah.
0:06:58 > 0:07:03- Good. No idea what that means, but, yeah, that sounds... - LAUGHTER
0:07:03 > 0:07:07- You know first belt?- Yes. - It's the one after that.- OK.
0:07:07 > 0:07:13- Now, Suzy, what are you going to go for?- Erm, I've got one that I sort of know,
0:07:13 > 0:07:16but I'm not going to go for that one.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20- Do you think it'll be a low scorer or are you scared... - I'm scared it's actually incorrect.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24So I'm going to go for probably the highest scorer,
0:07:24 > 0:07:28but I'd rather just get it right, so I'm going to go for Old Trafford.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31LAUGHTER
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- Oh, dear.- You do know she's second belt, don't you?
0:07:34 > 0:07:37LAUGHTER
0:07:37 > 0:07:42OK, Suzy says Old Trafford. Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many of our 100 people said it.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46It's right.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51- 50. - APPLAUSE
0:07:52 > 0:07:55That could've been a lot worse, Suzy. 50 for Old Trafford.
0:07:55 > 0:08:01- Home of Manchester United.- Thanks. Steve, welcome to Pointless.- Thanks.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05- Great to have you here. What do you do?- I'm an electrical engineer.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09Electrical engineer. So which bit of electrical engineering is yours?
0:08:09 > 0:08:12The generation part of it at the moment. Power stations.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16- I design and build and reconstruct. - That's quite a cool thing.
0:08:16 > 0:08:21- No-one's ever designed a power station on Pointless before. - No, not live on Pointless.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24- LAUGHTER - He's doing it now. He's not writing it, but in there...
0:08:24 > 0:08:30It is quite a cool thing to do. I could design the outside of one, I reckon.
0:08:30 > 0:08:35I think I could do that. It's the bit inside where I'd probably run up against a couple of issues.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38- Hold on.- Have you done it? Let's have a look.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41- LAUGHTER - Wow.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44- That is amazing. - LAUGHTER
0:08:44 > 0:08:48- It's big, but it's got a big door. - Do you know what I like about that?
0:08:48 > 0:08:52- The chimney and the door match each other perfectly.- Yeah. LAUGHTER
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Because that's aesthetics, right?
0:08:55 > 0:09:00- It's not just about function, is it? It's about form, as well.- Not at all.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03Anything can go through that door. The chimneys, there's all sorts of waste products,
0:09:03 > 0:09:07- I don't need to tell you that. - You know a lot more about power than I realised!
0:09:07 > 0:09:11- Wow!- So, yeah, I mean, it's a... - It's a work in progress.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Yeah. I'm just saying, it's easier than it looks.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17LAUGHTER
0:09:17 > 0:09:19- What do you do in your spare time, Steve?- I go hiking, I run,
0:09:19 > 0:09:23- I play harmonica in a blues band. - You're quite famous.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26You are the blues harmonica champion.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29- Or at least, you have been. - You've been talking to my mother.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33- She's told you this. - It was, in fact, your mother, yes.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36That is true. Will you please...
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Unless you go through to the final today, which I hope you do,
0:09:39 > 0:09:42but you could bring your harmonica next time. Would you do that?
0:09:42 > 0:09:47- If I've remembered to pack one, yeah, I'll do that.- Brilliant. Richard usually brings a couple.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51Yeah, I'll bring one, as well. I'll draw a power station for you
0:09:51 > 0:09:53and then we'll do a little blues harmonica duo.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56- That is going to be a great show. - That'd be lovely.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00Anyway, Steve, we're looking for the football grounds of any team
0:10:00 > 0:10:04in the Premier League or Championship in the 2012/13 season.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08- What are you going to go for? - I'm thinking of a couple,
0:10:08 > 0:10:13but I think I'll go for the local one, so Swansea and that would be the Liberty Stadium.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17The Liberty Stadium, says Steve. Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20It's right.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Very well done indeed! Six for the Liberty Stadium!
0:10:28 > 0:10:31APPLAUSE
0:10:31 > 0:10:35Yeah, a wonderful ground for a wonderful team down there in Swansea.
0:10:35 > 0:10:39Used to play at the Vetch Field, now at Liberty Stadium. Going from strength to strength.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43Thanks, Richard. We're halfway through the round. Let's look at the scores.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47Five the best score of that pass, Janine. Very well done. The first score and the best.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50Then up to six, where we find Steve and Ian. Up to seven, Sarah and Alan.
0:10:50 > 0:10:55And then up to 50, I'm afraid, where we find Suzy and Mark.
0:10:55 > 0:11:00Mark, we need a really low score from you. How's your football?
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Unfortunately, I'd like to say good,
0:11:02 > 0:11:05- but, er, nervous.- OK.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Well, very best of luck. We need a low score.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11We'll come back down the line. Second players, step up to the podium.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18Now then, Ian, welcome to Pointless. What do you do, Ian?
0:11:18 > 0:11:23I'm retired. I'm an ex-management consultant, but now I'm a babysitter.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25LAUGHTER
0:11:25 > 0:11:29- Who do you babysit for? - Oh, 4.8 grandchildren.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32LAUGHTER
0:11:32 > 0:11:36Ian, what do you do in your spare time, when you're not babysitting?
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Well, I'm a governor of a university
0:11:39 > 0:11:42and chairman of a subsidiary for that.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44And in the past, I've run quite a lot
0:11:44 > 0:11:47and done some related things.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51OK, good. Football, does that interest you?
0:11:51 > 0:11:54It does, but having heard a couple of the answers
0:11:54 > 0:11:57I was going to give, I'm going to gamble on something.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00OK. What's your gamble going to be, Ian?
0:12:00 > 0:12:04- Craven Cottage.- Craven Cottage. - LAUGHTER
0:12:04 > 0:12:07- He's calling that a gamble? - LAUGHTER
0:12:07 > 0:12:10OK. Well, the high scorers are on 50, Mark and Suzy.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14If you can score 43 or less with Craven Cottage, you're through to the next round.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18Let's see if it's right and how many people said it. There's your red line.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22It's right.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Very well done. You are through to round two.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29- 16. - APPLAUSE
0:12:29 > 0:12:3122 your total.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36That's a terrific answer, Ian. LAUGHTER
0:12:36 > 0:12:40Isn't he a bright man, Ian? Very insightful.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Pitched it perfectly, as well. Home of Fulham.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47- Thanks, Richard. Mark.- Hello.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Mark, hello. Welcome to the show. What do you do?
0:12:49 > 0:12:53I work as a business analyst for an energy company.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55OK. Do you look over power station designs at all?
0:12:55 > 0:13:00- LAUGHTER - Cos I know a couple of people who are tendering for something.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04- I've seen a few power plants on some spreadsheets.- Yeah.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Now, Mark, in your spare time, what do you get up to?
0:13:06 > 0:13:10Since Suzy took up kickboxing, I felt I had to defend myself,
0:13:10 > 0:13:13- so I took up aikido. - LAUGHTER
0:13:13 > 0:13:16- Yes.- And so it spirals. - HE LAUGHS
0:13:16 > 0:13:19- So, Suzy, what are you going to take up after that?- Oh, mai tai.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23- What's that? That's a drink. - I think it is. - LAUGHTER
0:13:23 > 0:13:26- Drinking. Good. - That could be a weapon.
0:13:26 > 0:13:31- No, there is also a martial art called Muay Thai.- Oh, of course. We had it not long ago.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35Now, Mark, we want the football ground of any team in the Premier League or Championship.
0:13:35 > 0:13:41- What are you going to go for? - Erm, yeah, I think I'm going to have to gamble slightly,
0:13:41 > 0:13:44so I've been racking my brains for Championship clubs.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48I'm hoping that Ipswich are still there and I'm going to go with Portman Road.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51Portman Road, says Mark. No red line for you, you're the high scorers.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54But let's see how many people said Portman Road.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58It's right.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01Well, Carrow Road took us down to five.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Where's Portman Road going to take us?
0:14:03 > 0:14:07- Look at that! Very well done indeed! - CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:14:07 > 0:14:11A pointless answer! It adds £250 to today's jackpot,
0:14:11 > 0:14:14takes the total up to £9,500.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18It scores you nothing, it leaves your total at 50.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22I wonder if that's going to be enough to keep you in the game. Brilliantly done.
0:14:22 > 0:14:27How about that? Well played, Mark. Also, they are going to love that in Norwich.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29They are going to love that! LAUGHTER
0:14:29 > 0:14:32- A pointless answer.- Thanks, Richard.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36- Now, Alan.- Hi.- Alan, welcome back. - Thank you.- Remind us what you do.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40I teach people with learning disabilities,
0:14:40 > 0:14:44I teach drama, IT, employment things, as well.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48- And you play a bit of football. - I do, yeah.- OK.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52So we're looking for the football grounds of any team in the Premier League or Championship
0:14:52 > 0:14:56in the 2012/13 season. Your task here is to score 42 points or less.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59- Do you think you can do that comfortably?- I'm hoping I can.
0:14:59 > 0:15:05Erm, I'm going to go for the Championship, as well,
0:15:05 > 0:15:09and I'm going to go for Molineux.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12- Molineux?- Yeah.- OK, Molineux, says Alan. Here comes your red line.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16Get below that, you're in round two. Let's see how many people said Molineux.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Well, it's right.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25And it sees you through to round two.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28- Five. - APPLAUSE
0:15:28 > 0:15:31- 12 your total. - APPLAUSE
0:15:32 > 0:15:35Yeah, they've been relegated in two successive seasons,
0:15:35 > 0:15:39- from the Premiership, down to the Championship, then down to League One.- Dave.- Hello.- Welcome.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41What do you do, Dave?
0:15:41 > 0:15:43I work with Janine in the same organisation,
0:15:43 > 0:15:46which is Specialist Autism Services,
0:15:46 > 0:15:49helping support adults with autism and Asperger's.
0:15:49 > 0:15:54- And in your spare time, Dave?- In my spare time, I try and do writing
0:15:54 > 0:15:58and a bit of swimming, but obviously not at the same time. It'd get soggy.
0:15:58 > 0:16:04- What kind of writing do you do?- I've written some radio bits and pieces.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07- Dramas or...- Dramas, comedies. - Excellent.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11- What radio things have you done? - Oh, right, erm, no-one's probably heard of it,
0:16:11 > 0:16:15but it was broadcast in Japan, Iowa and Auckland,
0:16:15 > 0:16:19which is Darius Dark, Supernatural Detective.
0:16:19 > 0:16:23- That sort of sounds familiar, Darius Dark.- I don't know.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25Maybe you heard it in Iowa.
0:16:25 > 0:16:29But, anyway, there we are. Now, you're on five.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32If you can score 44 or less, you are through to the next round.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35- How's football for you, Dave? - Well, thankfully,
0:16:35 > 0:16:38we had a bit of a prompt on the way here. We travelled from Leeds,
0:16:38 > 0:16:41and from the train, we were able to see Elland Road.
0:16:41 > 0:16:46Eland Road, says Dave. Here's your red line. Get below it, you're through to the next round.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49How many of our 100 people said Elland Road?
0:16:51 > 0:16:53It's right.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58And you're through to the next round. Well done.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01- Ten for Elland Road. - APPLAUSE
0:17:01 > 0:17:0315 your total.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Well played, Dave. They've been there since 1920.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11It's going to host Rugby World Cup games, as well, Elland Road.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15Now, there's only four pointless answers in the whole thing, Portman Road was a terrific one.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18The other ones you could've gone for, you could've had
0:17:18 > 0:17:20Oakwell, which is Barnsley's ground,
0:17:20 > 0:17:24King Power Stadium, which is the Leicester City ground,
0:17:24 > 0:17:26and Huddersfield's ground is the John Smith's Stadium.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29Other low scorers, Bloomfield Road, Blackpool,
0:17:29 > 0:17:32The Valley, Charlton, Ashton Gate, Bristol City, all would've scored you one.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35One point also for the Amex Stadium, that's Brighton,
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Peterborough's London Road, Burnley's Turf Moor,
0:17:37 > 0:17:40The KC Stadium, Hull, they all scored one.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43I won't go through everything, but I'll give you some two-pointers.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45Ewood Park, Vicarage Road, DW Stadium,
0:17:45 > 0:17:50Cardiff City Stadium, Pride Park and the Reebok, all of those would've scored you two points.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54So those are the best answers you could've given. Let's look at the ones most of our 100 people said.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58One of these will be familiar. Anfield would've scored you 38.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03Emirates, the Arsenal stadium, would've scored you 43.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06- And there's Old Trafford on 50. - Thanks, Richard.
0:18:06 > 0:18:11So, at the end of our first round, the pair who'll be heading home with their high score of 50
0:18:11 > 0:18:16are Mark and Suzy. Well, Mark, such a brilliant rear-guard action from you
0:18:16 > 0:18:20but I'm afraid just not quite enough to keep you in it.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23But it all bodes very well for next time
0:18:23 > 0:18:27and I'm sure you'll do better then. But thanks for playing, Mark and Suzy.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30APPLAUSE
0:18:30 > 0:18:34- But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for round two. - APPLAUSE
0:18:36 > 0:18:39And so three pairs remain. At the end of this round,
0:18:39 > 0:18:41we have to say goodbye to another pair.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45Sarah, that was very, very professionally done.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49Very good indeed. Lovely low scoring there. It was all incredibly close.
0:18:49 > 0:18:54Very close indeed. Just three points for top to bottom,
0:18:54 > 0:18:57so I think it's going to be an exciting second round. Our category is...
0:18:59 > 0:19:03Film characters. Can you decided in your pairs who'll go first, who'll go second?
0:19:04 > 0:19:06And whoever's going first, step up to the podium.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11OK, and the question concerns....
0:19:14 > 0:19:16Witches and wizards, Richard.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19On each pass, we're going to show you the names of six witches or wizards
0:19:19 > 0:19:22and we need you to tell us the name of the actor that played them.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25There'll be 12 actors to guess at home, so good luck.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29OK, thanks. So we want the names of the actors or actresses who played these witches and wizards
0:19:29 > 0:19:32in the years shown. Here's our first board of six.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54I'll read those again one last time.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16There we are, six witches and wizards.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19Janine.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22- How do we feel about these? - Terrible.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25I can see Miss Eva Ernst in my head.
0:20:25 > 0:20:31I think... This could be completely wrong, but I think it might be Vanessa Redgrave.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34Vanessa Redgrave for Miss Eva Ernst.
0:20:34 > 0:20:38Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said it.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43Ooh, no. Bad luck.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47Incorrect answer, I'm afraid, which scores you the maximum of 100 points.
0:20:47 > 0:20:51- Sorry, Janine. Worth a punt. I'll give you the correct answer at the end of the pass.- Thanks.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54- Now then, Alan.- Hm. - Witches and wizards.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58- Was this what you were hoping would come up?- Not particularly, no.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01Erm, I've...
0:21:01 > 0:21:05I've seen The Witches but I can't remember who played Miss Eva Ernst.
0:21:05 > 0:21:09Erm, I've seen the top two, as well,
0:21:09 > 0:21:14and I'm going to go for the top one, which is Professor Minerva McGonagall
0:21:14 > 0:21:17who I believe was played by Maggie Smith.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20Maggie Smith, says Alan, for Minerva McGonagall.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said Maggie Smith.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28It's right!
0:21:32 > 0:21:34- 23. - APPLAUSE
0:21:34 > 0:21:3623 for Maggie Smith.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38APPLAUSE
0:21:38 > 0:21:43Yeah, she's deputy headmistress in that film and head of Gryffindor, Maggie Smith.
0:21:43 > 0:21:49- Thanks. Now then, Steve, you're the last person to have these witches and wizards.- Right.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51Er, I know one.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55I think I know another one, which I'll take a punt on.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58Miss Eva Ernst I think is Anjelica Huston.
0:21:58 > 0:22:04Anjelica Huston, says Steve. Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said that.
0:22:06 > 0:22:10- It's right.- Thank God.
0:22:13 > 0:22:17Seven! That's a great answer, Steve! Very well done indeed.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20- Seven for Anjelica Huston. - APPLAUSE
0:22:20 > 0:22:23Terrific answer, Steve. Very well played.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Very brave, as well, if you weren't certain.
0:22:25 > 0:22:30Gandalf is Sir Ian McKellan, would've scored you 41.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33Now, Alexandra Medford in The Witches Of Eastwick
0:22:33 > 0:22:36is Cher, would've scored you 11.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39Lamia in Stardust was Michelle Pfeiffer
0:22:39 > 0:22:41and she would've scored you eight points.
0:22:41 > 0:22:46And the best answer on the board, the Wicked Witch Of The West was Margaret Hamilton
0:22:46 > 0:22:49and it was a pointless answer. So if you knew that, terrific work.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53Thanks, Richard. We're halfway through the round, let's look at the scores.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56Seven, a very well-deserved low score there from Steve,
0:22:56 > 0:22:59puts Ian and Steve in a pretty strong position.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01Then up to 23, where we find Alan and Sarah.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04And then up to 100, where we find Janine and Dave.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07So Dave, at the very least, we'll require a low score from you. Best of luck.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10We'll come back down the line. Second players, step up to the podium.
0:23:12 > 0:23:16OK, we're going to put six more witches and wizards on the board
0:23:16 > 0:23:18and here they are.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40I'll read those all one last time.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59Remember, Ian, we're looking for the names of the actors or actresses
0:23:59 > 0:24:02who played these witches or wizards.
0:24:02 > 0:24:06- Nanny McPhee, Emma Thompson. - Emma Thompson, says Ian, for Nanny McPhee.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09You want to score 92 or less with this answer
0:24:09 > 0:24:12to find your place in the next round. Here's your red line.
0:24:12 > 0:24:16Get below that and through you go. Emma Thompson, is that right? How many people said it?
0:24:20 > 0:24:22Very well done.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27- 40. Not bad. - APPLAUSE
0:24:27 > 0:24:2947 your total.
0:24:29 > 0:24:34Emma Thompson also wrote the screenplay for that film, as well.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36- That's quite a tough board.- It is!
0:24:36 > 0:24:40- It is.- Thanks very much. Now, Sarah,
0:24:40 > 0:24:44we want the names of the actors who played these witches or wizards in the years shown.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48You're on 23. The high scorers still Dave and Janine on 100.
0:24:48 > 0:24:5176 or less gets you through.
0:24:51 > 0:24:56I'm not massively confident, but the one I'm least unconfident about
0:24:56 > 0:24:58is Isabel Bigelow and Samantha,
0:24:58 > 0:25:00I think it might be Nicole Kidman.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03Nicole Kidman, says Sarah.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05A bit of a punt, but let's find out if that's right.
0:25:05 > 0:25:09Here's your red line. Get below that and through you go to the head-to-head.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12Is it right, Nicole Kidman? How many people said it if it is?
0:25:14 > 0:25:17It is right and you go through, well done.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23Not a bad answer at all. 12. There we go.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26- APPLAUSE - Lowest score of the round, Sarah.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28- It takes your total up to 35. - Well played, Sarah.
0:25:28 > 0:25:33Yeah, stars in it with Will Ferrell. They won a Golden Raspberry award for worst screen couple.
0:25:33 > 0:25:37- LAUGHTER - Now then, Dave.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39Dave, I'm afraid you are already our high scorers,
0:25:39 > 0:25:43- even before your answer. I'm sorry. - Just fighting for our honour now.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46Well, exactly. Listen, there you are, do battle with that board.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49There we are. Four blanks for you to fill in.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53- Do you fancy filling them all in? - Ooh, I think the first one
0:25:53 > 0:25:56is John Cleese, I think, Tim The Enchanter.
0:25:56 > 0:26:00I think Profion is Jeremy Irons.
0:26:00 > 0:26:05Snow White And The Huntsman I think is Charlize Theron.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08But I'm going to go for Miss Price, Bedknobs And Broomsticks,
0:26:08 > 0:26:10and I'm going to go for Angela Lansbury.
0:26:10 > 0:26:16Angela Lansbury, says Dave. Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many of our 100 people said it.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20It's right.
0:26:24 > 0:26:2914 for Angela Lansbury. Very well done. Takes your total up to 114.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31APPLAUSE
0:26:31 > 0:26:35Blimey, Dave, that is very good. You actually knew every single one.
0:26:35 > 0:26:39And you gave us the biggest scorer of the ones that you knew. LAUGHTER
0:26:39 > 0:26:42Let's take a look at the scores for the other ones that you knew.
0:26:42 > 0:26:46Ravenna, you were absolutely right, was Charlize Theron
0:26:46 > 0:26:48and it would've scored you four points.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50You were right about John Cleese, as well,
0:26:50 > 0:26:53and that would've scored you three points.
0:26:53 > 0:26:58And you were right about Jeremy Irons and that's a pointless answer.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00AUDIENCE GROAN
0:27:00 > 0:27:02APPLAUSE Pretty good.
0:27:05 > 0:27:09Well, thanks very much indeed, Richard. I'm afraid, Dave and Janine,
0:27:09 > 0:27:11even after that fantastic performance,
0:27:11 > 0:27:15- well, fantastic knowledge, poor selection... - LAUGHTER
0:27:15 > 0:27:20..I'm afraid we have to say goodbye to you, but it bodes very well for next time. Fantastic work.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24We'll look forward to that. Thanks for playing, Dave and Janine.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27- Thank you. - APPLAUSE
0:27:27 > 0:27:31- But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head. - APPLAUSE
0:27:35 > 0:27:38Congratulations, Sarah and Alan, Steve and Ian,
0:27:38 > 0:27:44you're now one step closer to the final and a chance to play for our jackpot, which stands at £9,500.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:27:48 > 0:27:50Now we have to decide who's going to play for that money.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52To do that, you're now going to go head-to-head.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54You're now allowed to confer.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57The first pair to win two questions will play for the jackpot.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59Something's happened the last few games.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02We've had fantastic head-to-head rounds.
0:28:02 > 0:28:06They've always gone down to the wire and I have a feeling this is going to be just such a head-to-head.
0:28:06 > 0:28:10Sarah and Alan, you were here last time. Only you weren't our golden couple,
0:28:10 > 0:28:12- you weren't the low scorers.- No.
0:28:12 > 0:28:16- How do you feel about your rivals today?- Well...
0:28:16 > 0:28:19- Heady heights.- Yeah. - May the best pair win.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22I was just going to sign off with that, Alan! Ohh!
0:28:22 > 0:28:25I was going to say I hope the worst pair wins.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27- Oh, no! - LAUGHTER
0:28:27 > 0:28:30- As long as it's us, anyway. - LAUGHTER
0:28:32 > 0:28:36- Very gracious, Alan. - LAUGHTER - Let's play the head-to-head!
0:28:36 > 0:28:38APPLAUSE
0:28:40 > 0:28:44OK, here comes your first question and it concerns...
0:28:46 > 0:28:50- LAUGHTER - Celebrities with dogs.
0:28:50 > 0:28:53- Richard! - We are about to show you five pictures of celebrities with dogs.
0:28:53 > 0:28:55We need you to name the dog, please. We don't.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57LAUGHTER
0:28:57 > 0:29:00- We need you to name the celebrity. Best of luck.- Thanks.
0:29:00 > 0:29:04So let's reveal our five celebrities with dogs, and here they are.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34There we are. Five celebrities with their dogs.
0:29:34 > 0:29:39Now, Sarah and Alan, you've played best throughout the show so far, so you get to go first.
0:29:39 > 0:29:42THEY WHISPER
0:29:45 > 0:29:48I think we're going to go for B
0:29:48 > 0:29:52and I don't know how you pronounce it but she spells it in a funny way, Agyness Deyn.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54OK, Agyness Deyn you're going to say.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57So, Steve and Ian.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01The board is all yours. Talk us through it.
0:30:01 > 0:30:05The first one is David Walliams. The second one, we wouldn't have known that.
0:30:05 > 0:30:07C is Mickey Rourke.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10D I could make a guess at, I suppose.
0:30:10 > 0:30:14- E, I've not idea. So I think we need to go... - Mickey Rourke.- C, Mickey Rourke.
0:30:14 > 0:30:19C, Mickey Rourke. So we have Agyness Deyn versus Mickey Rourke.
0:30:19 > 0:30:25Sarah and Alan said Agyness Deyn. Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said it.
0:30:33 > 0:30:37- There we are, 11. - APPLAUSE
0:30:41 > 0:30:48Steve and Ian have said Mickey Rourke. Let's see if that's right for C and how many people said that.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52It's right.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57- 28. - APPLAUSE
0:30:58 > 0:31:03Agyness Deyn wins it. So, Sarah and Alan, after one question, you are up one-nil.
0:31:03 > 0:31:07Sarah and Alan continue their impressive run. Good answer.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10A, I think everyone knew, is David Walliams with Bert.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13That would've scored you 68.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16D is the best answer on the board, Tamara Ecclestone,
0:31:16 > 0:31:19Bernie Ecclestone's daughter, would've scored you eight points.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22And E is Amy Childs.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25And she would've scored you 31.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28Thanks very much indeed. OK, here comes your second question.
0:31:28 > 0:31:32Steve and Ian, you get to answer it first, but you have to win it to stay in the game. Best of luck.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35It concerns... water.
0:31:35 > 0:31:42- Water. Richard. - Yeah, we're going to give you five clues now to facts about water.
0:31:42 > 0:31:46It's quite a broad topic, but go with me. Can you give me the most obscure answer?
0:31:46 > 0:31:49Let's reveal our five facts about water, and here they are.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09I'll read those one last time.
0:32:22 > 0:32:26Now then, Steve and Ian, you go first this time.
0:32:26 > 0:32:29THEY WHISPER
0:32:35 > 0:32:38Erm, we'll take the composer, we think it's Handel.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41Handel say Steve and Ian, Handel.
0:32:41 > 0:32:45Now then, Sarah and Alan, do you want to talk us through the board?
0:32:45 > 0:32:51OK. Its chemical formula is H2O. And it's ice in its solid state.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54I believe the newest ocean is the Southern Ocean.
0:32:54 > 0:32:58And the poet who wrote the lines, "Water, water, everywhere,"
0:32:58 > 0:33:01I believe is Samuel Taylor Coleridge.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06So, yeah, go for Samuel Taylor Coleridge.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08OK, Coleridge, say Sarah and Alan.
0:33:08 > 0:33:10So we have Handel versus Coleridge.
0:33:10 > 0:33:15Steve and Ian went with Handel. Let's see if that's right and how may people said that.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19It's right.
0:33:21 > 0:33:25- 54 for Handel. - APPLAUSE
0:33:27 > 0:33:30Sarah and Alan have gone with Samuel Taylor Coleridge.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said that.
0:33:35 > 0:33:37It's right.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41And, yep, it beats Handel, I'm afraid.
0:33:41 > 0:33:45- Ooh, down it goes! 15. That's a great score! - APPLAUSE
0:33:45 > 0:33:49Sarah and Alan, on your second attempt, you have done it.
0:33:49 > 0:33:54- After only two questions, you are through to the final two-nil. - Goodness me. Very well played.
0:33:54 > 0:33:59I have to say that Agyness Deyn and Samuel Taylor Coleridge is one way to get through to a final. Impressive.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02It shows a breadth of knowledge. And you got all of these right, as well.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04Chemical formula is of course H2O.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07That would've scored you 96.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09The name of its solid state is ice.
0:34:09 > 0:34:13That would've scored you 88. LAUGHTER
0:34:13 > 0:34:16- That's all right, isn't it? - I guess.- Could be worse.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18- You might get confused by the question.- Yes.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21And the newest ocean you got right. It's the best answer up there,
0:34:21 > 0:34:24the Southern Ocean, and would've scored six.
0:34:24 > 0:34:28- Very well played, guys. - Thanks very much, Richard.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31So the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head, Steve and Ian.
0:34:31 > 0:34:36But it's good news for us because, A, we get to see you next time, and B, Steve will play harmonica.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38It's kind of win-win for everyone.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41Thanks very much for playing. Steve and Ian, great contestants.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44- APPLAUSE - Well done.
0:34:44 > 0:34:47But for Sarah and Alan, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:34:51 > 0:34:55Congratulations, Sarah and Alan, you fought off all the competition
0:34:55 > 0:34:57and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy, so very well done.
0:35:03 > 0:35:06- Thank you.- You now have a chance to win our jackpot.
0:35:06 > 0:35:10And at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £9,500.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:35:13 > 0:35:16Oh, you've done it so well today.
0:35:16 > 0:35:21Last time you did very well, through to the head-to-head, but this time, low scorers in every single round,
0:35:21 > 0:35:24then two-nil in the head-to-head. Very impressive.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27Is there anything you'd particularly like to come up in this round?
0:35:27 > 0:35:31We're both big cricket fans, so cricket would be good.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33Food and drink would be good for me.
0:35:33 > 0:35:38- Geography, London in particular.- OK.
0:35:38 > 0:35:42Very, very best of luck. As always, you kick off this round by choosing a category.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44You have four options. They are...
0:35:49 > 0:35:52- Pretty much everything you asked for. - LAUGHTER
0:35:52 > 0:35:54- Yeah.- We'll go home now.
0:35:54 > 0:35:58- Ooh, dear.- OK. I can't imagine what we'd get for University Challenge.
0:35:58 > 0:36:04Erm, Science, could be Nobel prizes. I don't know.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07- None of them are strong points, are they?- What's your history like?
0:36:07 > 0:36:11- It's probably not bad. - Science or Tudors I would go for.
0:36:11 > 0:36:14I don't care. You go for it. We've got our trophy.
0:36:14 > 0:36:20We have our coveted trophy. We'll go for Tudors, please.
0:36:20 > 0:36:25- The Tudors.- There's two roads in Hampton called Tudors, so if it's about them, we're fine.
0:36:25 > 0:36:29- LAUGHTER - Good luck.- Yeah. Here's hoping.
0:36:29 > 0:36:31Richard, the Tudors.
0:36:31 > 0:36:35OK, here are your three options. Hopefully there's something here for you.
0:36:35 > 0:36:39We are looking for the full conventional name of any of the spouses of any Tudor monarch.
0:36:39 > 0:36:44We are looking for the name of any Pope who reigned during the Tudor period.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47Or we are looking for any of Henry VIII's Knights of the Garter,
0:36:47 > 0:36:52Knights of the Garter during Henry VIII's reign. So any Tudor spouses, Tudor Popes,
0:36:52 > 0:36:56or any of Henry VIII's Knights of the Garter. Very, very best of luck.
0:36:56 > 0:37:00I know for some people, this would be a fantastic category. I hope it is for you.
0:37:00 > 0:37:03OK, as always, you've got up to a minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06All you need to win the jackpot, £9,500,
0:37:06 > 0:37:08is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:37:08 > 0:37:12Remember, your answers can come from any of these three categories.
0:37:12 > 0:37:17You can have all three from one category, one from each, you can spread them however you like.
0:37:17 > 0:37:19- Are you ready?- Yes.- OK.
0:37:19 > 0:37:22Let's put 60 seconds on the clock. There they are. Your time starts now.
0:37:22 > 0:37:27- Do you know any Popes? - Just pick a Pope at random.- OK.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29Knights of the Garter.
0:37:29 > 0:37:34- I would go Duke of Northumberland, cos he was big in the court. - Why not?- OK.
0:37:34 > 0:37:37- And also built...- Yeah.
0:37:37 > 0:37:43- Erm, spouses. - Anne of Cleves. Anne Boleyn. Catherine Parr. Catherine Howard.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45What other Tudor monarchs were there?
0:37:45 > 0:37:47- Oh, gosh, there's...- Henry VII?
0:37:47 > 0:37:51Yeah, there's Henry VII, I don't know his wife.
0:37:52 > 0:37:54The others didn't get married, I don't think.
0:37:54 > 0:37:58Oh, what about James I? Did Mary marry James I of Scotland?
0:37:58 > 0:38:00- Mary Queen of Scots. - Married which one?
0:38:00 > 0:38:04We don't need to know that. We just need to know the spouse.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07- Yeah, who was the spouse of Mary Queen of Scots?- Oh, sorry.- Mary I?
0:38:07 > 0:38:12- It would be one of the Jameses. - James VI?- James IV?
0:38:12 > 0:38:16- Ten seconds left.- OK. Erm... - Go for Pope Pius IV or something.
0:38:16 > 0:38:20- That sounds good to me. OK. We're ready.- OK, you're ready.
0:38:20 > 0:38:23- What about that? - THEY LAUGH
0:38:23 > 0:38:26We'll just go with Pius IV, shall we? OK, very good.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29- I now need your three answers. - Pope Pius IV.- Pope Pius IV. Him.
0:38:29 > 0:38:35- Erm, yeah. It was James IV? - Yeah, go for it.- James IV.
0:38:35 > 0:38:39- And...- What about James IV? - Tudor spouse. He might be married to Mary I.
0:38:40 > 0:38:45- OK, James IV, Pius IV, all the fourths.- And Knights of the Garter, Duke of Northumberland.
0:38:45 > 0:38:50Duke of Northumberland. OK. Of those three answers, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:50 > 0:38:52Erm, Duke of Northumberland.
0:38:52 > 0:38:54OK. I'll put Duke of Northumberland last.
0:38:54 > 0:38:58- Which is your least likely to be pointless?- Pius IV.
0:38:58 > 0:39:01Pius IV. OK.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04Let's pop those up on the board in that order. And here they are.
0:39:09 > 0:39:13Very, very best of luck. Your first answer was Pius.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16Now, you just plucked all these things out of thin air, did you?
0:39:16 > 0:39:21- Yep.- Completely.- OK. If it is correct and it is pointless, you will win today's jackpot.
0:39:21 > 0:39:25What plans have you made for £9,500 worth of winnings?
0:39:25 > 0:39:29Erm, well, next year we're hoping to go to the West Indies,
0:39:29 > 0:39:34taking our passion of cricket, and watch England play out there.
0:39:34 > 0:39:38Erm, so it would go very much towards that.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41Very, very best of luck. Your first answer was Pius. Let's find out,
0:39:41 > 0:39:45for £9,500, was he a Tudor Pope?
0:39:47 > 0:39:49He was!
0:39:49 > 0:39:51That is a correct answer.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54Now, if Pius takes us all the way down to zero,
0:39:54 > 0:39:58you will be leaving here and making travel plans for the West Indies.
0:39:58 > 0:40:02- Oh, bad luck. Nine people said Pius. - APPLAUSE
0:40:08 > 0:40:10OK. Two more answers on the board.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13Your second answer was James IV.
0:40:14 > 0:40:17Let's just find out, James IV, if that's correct.
0:40:17 > 0:40:20It then has to be pointless for you to win the jackpot.
0:40:20 > 0:40:25So for £9,500, was James IV a Tudor spouse?
0:40:28 > 0:40:30No! Bad luck!
0:40:30 > 0:40:35Bad luck. An incorrect answer. Which means everything is now riding on your third and final answer,
0:40:35 > 0:40:40the Duke of Northumberland. Now, you had a bit of authority on this, Alan.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43I know he was in favour in the court of Henry VIII.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46OK. He was a favourite and therefore likely.
0:40:46 > 0:40:51- May have been invested with the Order of the Garter.- OK, well, let's find out. Let's hope he was.
0:40:51 > 0:40:55If he was, you leave here with the jackpot. So for £9,500,
0:40:55 > 0:41:00let's find out if the Duke of Northumberland was one of Henry VIII's Knights of the Garter.
0:41:02 > 0:41:07He was! Your first answer, Pius, took us down to nine.
0:41:07 > 0:41:10Your second answer, James IV, was incorrect.
0:41:10 > 0:41:14Your third and final answer, the Duke of Northumberland, is taking us very low indeed.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17- You've done it! You have done it! Very well done! - CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:41:17 > 0:41:21That is fantastic! Very, very well done indeed.
0:41:21 > 0:41:24Thank you!
0:41:24 > 0:41:28- Brilliant!- Oh, my God! - CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:41:39 > 0:41:41Very, very well done indeed. Congratulations!
0:41:41 > 0:41:44The Duke of Northumberland was a pointless answer,
0:41:44 > 0:41:48which means you leave here today with a jackpot of £9,500.
0:41:48 > 0:41:52- Well done. - CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:41:52 > 0:41:54Thank you! Oh, my God!
0:41:54 > 0:41:57Very well done indeed. Richard, what about that?
0:41:57 > 0:42:01How about that? Literally everything we've thrown at you for two shows,
0:42:01 > 0:42:05- you've been so terrific all the way through. I'm so happy that you've won the money.- Thank you.
0:42:05 > 0:42:09John Dudley, the Duke of Northumberland, one of Henry VIII's Knights of the Garter.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12Let's take a look at the other pointless answers for people at home.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15You can have a think about your nine and a half grand while I do it.
0:42:15 > 0:42:20There's only one Tudor spouse, the husband of Lady Jane Grey, Lord Guildford Dudley,
0:42:20 > 0:42:22to give him his formal title.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25Now, the next one, Tudor Popes,
0:42:25 > 0:42:28there's only two pointless ones, Marcellus and Sixtus.
0:42:28 > 0:42:33- You were right about Pius, you even got the right number, Pius IV. - Really?- Yeah, absolutely.
0:42:33 > 0:42:38- Oh, my goodness! - Let's takes a look at some more of Henry VIII's Knights of the Garter.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40There's lots of pointless answers. Henry Percy,
0:42:40 > 0:42:44James V King of Scotland, Sir Thomas Howard, Thomas Boleyn.
0:42:44 > 0:42:46There's loads of names down here.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49But the most important one is John Dudley, the Duke of Northumberland.
0:42:49 > 0:42:53Thanks very much, Richard. Well, thanks again to our winning players,
0:42:53 > 0:42:57Sarah and Alan, who go away with today's jackpot of £9,500.
0:42:57 > 0:43:00- CHEERING AND APPLAUSE - Thank you!
0:43:00 > 0:43:04Join us next time when we'll put more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.
0:43:04 > 0:43:07- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:07 > 0:43:11- And it's goodbye from me, goodbye. - CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
