0:00:22 > 0:00:26Hello. I'm Alexander Armstrong. Welcome to Pointless,
0:00:26 > 0:00:31where the questions were all put to 100 people and our contestants want the answers
0:00:31 > 0:00:36those 100 couldn't think of. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41And couple number one...
0:00:41 > 0:00:46Hi, I'm Steve. This is my brother Ian. I'm from Port Talbot and Ian lives in Twyford.
0:00:46 > 0:00:52- Couple number two... - Hello. I'm David, from Llandudno. This is my work colleague, Janine.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54We work in Leeds.
0:00:54 > 0:01:00- Couple number three...- My name's Mark. This is my girlfriend, Suzy. We live in Edinburgh.
0:01:00 > 0:01:06- And couple number four... - My name's Andrew. This is my son, Paul. We're from Reading and London.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09And these are today's contestants.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13Thanks, all of you. We'll find out more about you as we go along.
0:01:13 > 0:01:19That just leaves one more person. He's ever dependable and not just because of the terms of his parole.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22It's my Pointless friend, Richard.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Hiya. Hi, everybody.
0:01:28 > 0:01:34- How are you?- Very well, thank you. How are you?- Not too bad. A little bit hungry,
0:01:34 > 0:01:36- but I'm all right.- Yeah.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39Do people eat during Pointless or after it?
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Do you think they prepare it before?
0:01:42 > 0:01:46- Actually, no. They're making it now. - Aww, don't make it now.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50- They're in the kitchen?- Yeah. - Perhaps they have a portable.
0:01:50 > 0:01:57- What do you think they're having? - Whenever you read in the newspapers when people go through their day,
0:01:57 > 0:02:04- they say, "For dinner, I have some chicken or salmon with vegetables." - Such a lie.- Of course it's a lie!
0:02:04 > 0:02:09Nonsense. We've got three returning pairs today and the jackpot's been building up,
0:02:09 > 0:02:15despite all these amazing contestants, but last time Sarah and Alan came along
0:02:15 > 0:02:19- and they took home £9,500. Absolutely brilliant.- Yeah.
0:02:19 > 0:02:24Wiped the floor with it. Terrific for them, not for our returning pairs.
0:02:24 > 0:02:29- But I'm sure they're delighted for them.- I'm sure they are.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31- And they look it, too.- They do. - LAUGHTER
0:02:31 > 0:02:38Or...they might be having maybe fish fingers, might be having peas. I don't know. Anything they want.
0:02:38 > 0:02:44- That's the people at home. - I bet Alan's not having fish fingers.- No, he's having caviar.
0:02:44 > 0:02:50- And he's having it on a yacht. - Ah! I prefer it on toast, but there we are.
0:02:50 > 0:02:56All our questions have been put to 100 people before the show. We want the obscure answers they didn't get.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00Everyone wants a pointless answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04Each time that happens, we'll add £250 to the jackpot.
0:03:04 > 0:03:10Sarah and Alan won the jackpot, so today's jackpot starts off at £1,000.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22In this round, I'll take an answer from each of you, but no conferring.
0:03:22 > 0:03:29Whichever pair has the highest score will head home. OK, our first category today is...Film.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33Can you all decide who's going to go first and who's second?
0:03:34 > 0:03:39Whoever's going first please step up to the podium.
0:03:39 > 0:03:44OK, so our question concerns... Musical Films.
0:03:45 > 0:03:51- Musical Films, Richard.- We'll show you two images taken at the premieres of two musical films -
0:03:51 > 0:03:56Chicago from 2002 and Les Miserables from 2012.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00Just name anybody you see in either of these two pictures.
0:04:00 > 0:04:07Thanks. As Richard said, we'll put two images up on the screen. They'll remain for the whole round.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11Up the line and back down the line. So here are those two images.
0:04:13 > 0:04:18There we are. Two happy gatherings of people there.
0:04:18 > 0:04:24Chicago and Les Mis. We want the name of anyone in either of these pictures.
0:04:26 > 0:04:33Steve and Ian, you all drew lots and you are going to go first. Remind us what you do, Steve.
0:04:33 > 0:04:40I'm an electrical engineer. I work on power stations, design and build power stations. At the moment.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43And a fantastic harmonica player.
0:04:43 > 0:04:49- Thank you for saying that! - And you've brought your harmonica today to show us.- Brilliant.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53- Settle back.- I said he would. - Yeah, excellent.
0:04:53 > 0:05:00- And...- Wrong bag. I brought the wrong bag, sorry. - Not your harmonica bag?- No.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03- You brought your French horn bag? - Yes.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06- I'm sorry.- Steve...
0:05:06 > 0:05:14- Have you seen either of these films? - Er...no.- That doesn't matter. Do you recognise the actors and actresses?
0:05:14 > 0:05:16I do... Yeah, I do.
0:05:16 > 0:05:23OK. Well, the most obscure name you can give us from either of those pictures.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26From the lower picture, which is Les Mis,
0:05:26 > 0:05:33- I can see Cameron Mackintosh. - Cameron Mackintosh, says Steve. Cameron Mackintosh.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35How many said Cameron Mackintosh?
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Absolutely right.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44That's a good answer!
0:05:44 > 0:05:463, Steve! Very well done indeed.
0:05:53 > 0:05:59- Great start. He's the producer of Les Mis.- I knew he was the producer, couldn't think who that was.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03No, it's a very smart answer because he's not a member of the cast.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06- Yeah. Clever.- Yeah.
0:06:06 > 0:06:11Janine, welcome back. What happened last time, Janine?
0:06:11 > 0:06:16I crashed out on actors and actresses playing wizards and witches.
0:06:16 > 0:06:21- I had a mindblock.- We reckoned we'd have both crashed out on that one.
0:06:21 > 0:06:26But, anyway, today's going to be a whole different kettle of fish.
0:06:26 > 0:06:32- Remind us what you do. - I work for an organisation called Specialist Autism Services.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35We support adults with Asperger's and autism.
0:06:35 > 0:06:40- And film - do you watch a lot of films? Musical films, particularly? - Yeah.
0:06:40 > 0:06:47- Just not wizards and witches.- Fine. - I know a few. I'm just not sure which to go for.- OK.
0:06:51 > 0:06:59- I'll go for Queen Latifah. - Is that right? And if it is, how many said Queen Latifah?
0:06:59 > 0:07:01It's right.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08It's another good answer. 18. Very well done, Janine.
0:07:10 > 0:07:1318 for Queen Latifah.
0:07:13 > 0:07:18Mama Morton in Chicago. Nominated for an Oscar for that.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22- Thanks, Richard. Suzy... welcome back.- Thank you.
0:07:22 > 0:07:28- What was your story last time? - I don't know much about football stadiums. I know one.
0:07:28 > 0:07:34It wasn't incorrect. Old Trafford. And then Mark came riding to your rescue
0:07:34 > 0:07:39with Portman Road. Pointless answer there. That's not a dig at Ipswich.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41I'm just saying it scored no points.
0:07:43 > 0:07:48- So, Suzy, remind us what you do. - I'm a librarian at the National Library of Scotland.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51- And in your spare time, Suzy? - Kickboxing.
0:07:51 > 0:07:56- And nothing else.- Yeah, I did a degree in creative writing,
0:07:56 > 0:08:01so occasionally I dust that off and do a bit of writing.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Have you got several projects?
0:08:03 > 0:08:08- No, I've just got one. - How far have you got into it?
0:08:08 > 0:08:13- About three-quarters of the way in. - That's good. It takes on a momentum of its own.
0:08:13 > 0:08:18- For ten years, that's all right, isn't it?- It's OK.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22- Mark, have you read it?- I refuse to because it's not set in space.
0:08:22 > 0:08:28I don't see the point, personally. No, I've promised her I'll read it when the first draft is completed.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32- So that's her carrot.- Everything is set in space, really.- Should be.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35No, but we're in space.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38- Pride And Prejudice is in space. - LAUGHTER
0:08:38 > 0:08:43- You've got me there.- Yeah. Anyway, Suzy, what about these?
0:08:43 > 0:08:48- Well...- Hang on! So what's it about?! Can you tell us?
0:08:48 > 0:08:52Em, it's about a 16-year-old boy with problems.
0:08:52 > 0:08:58- Good.- His problem being his rocket has run out of fuel. - Yeah!- Brilliant idea.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01That's what it's going to be now.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05- Suzy...- Yes. - What about these groups of actors?
0:09:05 > 0:09:10I was going to go for Queen Latifah, but it was a toss-up with another one
0:09:10 > 0:09:16so you've made that decision for me. I'll go with John C Reilly in Chicago.
0:09:16 > 0:09:22- John C Reilly.- Yeah. - OK, let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said it.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24It's right.
0:09:30 > 0:09:35Very well done indeed! 8 for John C Reilly.
0:09:38 > 0:09:43- Looks like another good show. Another very good answer.- Paul...
0:09:43 > 0:09:49- What do you do?- I'm a marketing analyst.- For any particular...? - A dental care company.
0:09:49 > 0:09:54Ah. Your teeth are good. Look at that. Fantastic.
0:09:54 > 0:09:59- It's bearing fruit. - I'd be in a lot of trouble. - Is that part of the deal?- Yeah.
0:09:59 > 0:10:07- Special training.- Wow. Brushing? - Special toothbrush training. Always brush twice a day.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10I do! What are you talking about?
0:10:10 > 0:10:15- What are your hobbies, Paul? - I like running and I'm an amateur photographer.
0:10:15 > 0:10:21- What kind of amateur photography? - I live in London so I like going out and taking famous sites
0:10:21 > 0:10:25- and I can see what they'll be like in 30, 40 years' time.- Excellent.
0:10:25 > 0:10:31- Now what about these two film casts? - I'm in a little bit of trouble here as I've not seen either movie.
0:10:31 > 0:10:38But I think I know one or two people who were in it, so I'll have a go at Hugh Jackman.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42Hugh Jackman, says Paul. Is that right? How many said it?
0:10:42 > 0:10:44It is right.
0:10:48 > 0:10:5040.
0:10:53 > 0:11:00- 40 for Hugh Jackman.- Big score. Plays Jean Valjean. For the role, he lost 15lbs, then gained 30.
0:11:00 > 0:11:05- That's actors for you.- That's acting. We're halfway through.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09Let's see where we are. 3 was the best score, Steve.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12Then 8, Suzy and Mark,
0:11:12 > 0:11:1418 for Janine and David,
0:11:14 > 0:11:20then up to 40, Paul and Andrew. Andrew, you're not miles ahead, but you are the high scorers.
0:11:20 > 0:11:25We need a nice low score. Very best of luck with that.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:11:29 > 0:11:35OK, Andrew, welcome to the show. We need you to name anyone from either of these two pictures.
0:11:35 > 0:11:40- What do you do?- I'm a piano teacher. - That explains it!
0:11:40 > 0:11:43- Andrew has a piano belt on. - Ah, does he?
0:11:43 > 0:11:47Yeah. There we are. A piano belt.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51- Do you wear a piano tie? - I have a piano tie, socks,
0:11:51 > 0:11:54cups, coasters. There's an industry.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56- Surviving on your...- Yes!- ..custom.
0:11:56 > 0:12:02- I encourage gifts to me, along with bottles of wine.- Good.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04- Piano-themed gifts.- Yes.
0:12:04 > 0:12:10- That's good. How long have you taught the piano for?- Full-time, 13 years. Before that, part-time.
0:12:10 > 0:12:16- You don't make a fortune. - Do you get cross if people don't practise?- Absolutely, yes.
0:12:16 > 0:12:20And when they don't bring their piano in a bag for a lesson?
0:12:20 > 0:12:24Now you're the high scorers. We need a low score from you.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Yes...
0:12:26 > 0:12:30I'm going to go out on a limb here because we are behind.
0:12:30 > 0:12:35There's a guy in the top picture that's remarkably like Ian Wright.
0:12:35 > 0:12:40- And you're going to say...? - Ian Wright.- No red line for you.
0:12:40 > 0:12:45We have to hope this goes a long way down the column. Is Ian Wright in that top picture?
0:12:47 > 0:12:48No!
0:12:48 > 0:12:54Bad luck, Andrew. That's an incorrect answer and scores the maximum 100 points.
0:12:54 > 0:13:00- Takes your total to 140.- Sorry, Andrew. Beautiful singing voice, but not in Chicago.
0:13:00 > 0:13:07- If Cameron Mackintosh made it into the bottom picture, why not have Ian Wright?- He might have been there.
0:13:07 > 0:13:14Ah. Now then, Mark, a very brief career in Pointless the last time round,
0:13:14 > 0:13:20- but what a glorious one it was. Fabulous. A pointless answer. - Yeah, that was good.
0:13:20 > 0:13:26- Remind us what you do.- I'm an analyst for an energy company. - What do you do in your spare time?
0:13:26 > 0:13:33- I sort of have a tiny T-shirt buying obsession.- You should buy them in your size, surely.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35LAUGHTER
0:13:37 > 0:13:43- That's just odd. There comes a point when you've got to ask why. - I stretch them out.
0:13:43 > 0:13:49- How many T-shirts have you got? - I don't like to count them. It makes Suzy upset.- OK!
0:13:50 > 0:13:56Now then, Mark, what will you go for? You are through, even if you score 100 points.
0:13:56 > 0:14:01There are a few people that I know. I'm struggling to think of which one.
0:14:01 > 0:14:06They're all quite famous. I'm going to go with Lucy Liu.
0:14:06 > 0:14:12Lucy Liu, says Mark. No red line. How many of our 100 people said Lucy Liu?
0:14:18 > 0:14:2029.
0:14:20 > 0:14:2237, your total.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28Very well played. She plays Kitty Baxter in Chicago.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32- Standing next to Ian Wright there. - LAUGHTER
0:14:33 > 0:14:40- Thanks very much indeed. Now, David, welcome back.- Hello. - Remind us what you do.
0:14:40 > 0:14:45I work with Janine, aiding adults with autism and Asperger's.
0:14:45 > 0:14:52What are your areas of expertise and know-how? Not necessarily within your career, but generally.
0:14:52 > 0:14:57Film, literature and history. So I'm kind of hoping it comes in that order.
0:14:57 > 0:15:04- We want the name of anyone in either of these pictures. You're quite liking this?- Yes.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08As an Arsenal supporter...
0:15:08 > 0:15:13- I know Ian Wright wasn't in Chicago. - Oh, phew!
0:15:13 > 0:15:18But I think Taye Diggs was.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22Taye Diggs. Taye... You DO know your film.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25- And my Arsenal players.- OK.
0:15:25 > 0:15:30Taye Diggs, says David. Let's see if that's right. No red line as you're through.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33How many said Taye Diggs?
0:15:33 > 0:15:35It's absolutely right.
0:15:40 > 0:15:423's our lowest score so far.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45That's pointless! Very well done!
0:15:45 > 0:15:51A pointless answer adds £250 to the jackpot and takes the total to £1,250.
0:15:51 > 0:15:56It scores you nothing. Very well done indeed. Taye Diggs.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00Terrific answer. He plays a band leader in Chicago.
0:16:00 > 0:16:08And David got everything right on that witches and wizards board. Another very impressive start.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12- Thank you. - Now then, Ian, welcome back.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15What happened with you last time?
0:16:15 > 0:16:20- We got to the head-to-head...- Yeah. - ..and faded.- It was a 2-0.
0:16:20 > 0:16:27You were knocked out 2-0. You had played so well, incredibly well throughout the whole show,
0:16:27 > 0:16:32- as Steve has started off with this show as well.- No pressure!
0:16:32 > 0:16:36Well, actually, no pressure. You're through whatever happens.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40We want anyone in either picture. Do you want to talk us through it?
0:16:40 > 0:16:46- No, it might as well be a blank sheet of paper, but there's somebody I'm going to guess at.- OK.
0:16:46 > 0:16:53I know several of them, but it's been bothering me there's a singer in Les Mis,
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Russell...Watson.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59- OK, that's what you're going for? - Yeah.- Russell Watson.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03Let's see if Russell Watson's right and how many people said that.
0:17:04 > 0:17:11Oh! Bad luck, Ian. I'm afraid an incorrect answer. Scores 100 points, but you're through.
0:17:11 > 0:17:16Safely through, Ian. Russell Watson is the English opera singer. The Voice they call him.
0:17:16 > 0:17:23You may be thinking of Russell Crowe. Russell Crowe would have scored 45 points.
0:17:23 > 0:17:30Let's start by looking at Chicago. There's only two pointless answers. We've had Taye Diggs from David.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34The other one is Denise Faye. Very well done if you said her.
0:17:34 > 0:17:41The other names on that board - you've got Christine Baranski. She would have scored you 2 points.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45Catherine Zeta-Jones there would have scored 35.
0:17:45 > 0:17:51Renee Zellweger is there. She would have scored you 48. And Richard Gere - 58.
0:17:51 > 0:17:57That's everyone. Now Les Mis. There's a few pointless answers. Three, in fact.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01You can have Aaron Tveit. There he is.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05You could have had Daniel Huttlestone. A pointless answer.
0:18:05 > 0:18:10And you could have had George Blagden. He was a pointless answer.
0:18:10 > 0:18:16The other names on that board - Isabelle Allen or Samantha Barks.
0:18:16 > 0:18:22Both of those would have scored you 2 points. You could have had Eddie Redmayne for 8 points.
0:18:24 > 0:18:29You could have had Sacha Baron Cohen on the end for 11 points.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32You could have had Amanda Seyfried for 19.
0:18:32 > 0:18:40And Anne Hathaway would have scored you 51 points. Well done if you got a pointless answer.
0:18:40 > 0:18:45Thanks, Richard. So the pair heading home with a score of 140 in a round about musicals...
0:18:45 > 0:18:50Off you go. I'm sorry. It doesn't seem right.
0:18:50 > 0:18:55Anyway, we'll see you next time, but thank you for playing - Andrew and Paul!
0:18:57 > 0:19:01But for the remaining three pairs it's now time for Round Two.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10Three pairs remain. We send another pair away at the end of this round.
0:19:10 > 0:19:16- Suzy and mark, very well done. Welcome to Round Two.- Thank you. - Good work. Very impressive.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20Not quite as impressive as you, David. Very good.
0:19:20 > 0:19:26Last time, I'm reminded you took us through the board and gave us a pointless answer
0:19:26 > 0:19:30that you never went for. Ah! And Steve - Cameron Mackintosh!
0:19:32 > 0:19:36We have great minds here. This is going to be very exciting.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40Our category for Round Two is...Politics.
0:19:40 > 0:19:46Politics. Can you all decide who's going first and second? Suzy and Mark smiling.
0:19:46 > 0:19:52Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:19:52 > 0:19:58And the question concerns... American Presidents. American Presidents.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01Suzy and Mark still smiling.
0:20:01 > 0:20:07On each pass we'll give you six clues to a US President. Just tell us who that is.
0:20:07 > 0:20:1012 in all to have a go at. Good luck.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14Let's reveal our first board of six clues. Here they are.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16HE READS THE LIST
0:20:31 > 0:20:34I'll read those all one last time.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52There we are. Six clues to six US Presidents.
0:20:54 > 0:20:55Ian...
0:20:55 > 0:21:00I'll go for the president during the Cuban crisis, John F Kennedy.
0:21:00 > 0:21:06JFK, says Ian. Let's see if that's right and how many people said John F Kennedy.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08It's right.
0:21:12 > 0:21:1329.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17Not bad. 29.
0:21:19 > 0:21:25The Russians were trying to put nuclear missiles on Cuban soil. Kennedy put a trade embargo
0:21:25 > 0:21:31that's still in place. They say he bought as many Cuban cigars as possible before that.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35You would. Thanks very much, Richard.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38- Now, David...- Hello. - Who are these US Presidents?
0:21:38 > 0:21:44I'm going to go for the teddy bear is allegedly named after him.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47I think it's Theodore Roosevelt.
0:21:47 > 0:21:52Theodore Roosevelt, says David. Is that right? How many said it?
0:21:56 > 0:21:58- 70!- Oh!
0:21:58 > 0:22:05- A high score there, David. Theodore Roosevelt for teddy bear. - That's a big score.
0:22:05 > 0:22:10The youngest president. Just before his 43rd birthday.
0:22:10 > 0:22:14Suzy, you're the last one with this board. How's your American politics?
0:22:14 > 0:22:18Er, I thought it was good. I think the top one is Lincoln.
0:22:18 > 0:22:23I think... I can't remember who was President during World War I,
0:22:23 > 0:22:30but I think Woodrow Wilson was directly after, so I don't want to go for that one.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33Author of the Declaration of Independence...
0:22:33 > 0:22:38I'm swithering between Washington and Jefferson. I can't remember.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41And I've no idea who appears on the 1 bill.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45Unless it's one of the other assassinated presidents...
0:22:45 > 0:22:49No, I'll go with the top one as Abraham Lincoln.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57It is right.
0:22:59 > 0:23:0144.
0:23:04 > 0:23:0944. I thought that would be a much higher score.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13Yeah, you'd think it would be higher than teddy bear.
0:23:13 > 0:23:19Just 44. You should have said Woodrow Wilson. He was President from 1913 through to 1931.
0:23:19 > 0:23:24He would have scored you 6 points. Well done if you said that at home.
0:23:24 > 0:23:30Now you're right that it's either Washington or Jefferson for the second to bottom.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34The answer to the bottom one, the 1 bill,
0:23:34 > 0:23:38is Washington. It would have scored you 19.
0:23:38 > 0:23:43So the primary author was Jefferson, who would have scored 1. Best answer up there.
0:23:43 > 0:23:49Thank you very much. Let's take a look at those scores. We're halfway through the round.
0:23:49 > 0:23:5229, the lowest score, Ian and Steve.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55Then up to 44 where we find Suzy and Mark.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58Then up to 70, David and Janine.
0:23:58 > 0:24:02So we need some low scoring, Janine. How's your American politics?
0:24:02 > 0:24:07- Worst possible.- I thought you were going to say, "I do it in my sleep."
0:24:07 > 0:24:10It's going to be fun.
0:24:10 > 0:24:14Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:24:15 > 0:24:20OK, we're going to put six more clues on the board. Here they are.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22HE READS THE LIST
0:24:38 > 0:24:40I'll read those one last time.
0:24:57 > 0:25:02There we are. Six more clues to six more US Presidents.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05Mark, you're going to try to find the lowest-scoring one.
0:25:05 > 0:25:10- How do you feel?- The first board was much better. I knew all of those.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14This one... I know a couple on there.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18I think I'm going to have to go with the peanut farmer from Georgia
0:25:18 > 0:25:20and I'm going to say Jimmy Carter.
0:25:20 > 0:25:25Jimmy Carter, says Mark. OK, there is your red line.
0:25:25 > 0:25:31You want to score 25 or less. Let's see if that's right. How many people said Jimmy Carter?
0:25:32 > 0:25:34It is right.
0:25:38 > 0:25:3933.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44Not a bad total, Mark.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46That takes you up to 77.
0:25:46 > 0:25:52After he retired from the presidency, he went back to the house he'd lived in since the '60s
0:25:52 > 0:25:56- back when they were farmers. - That is nice.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59He's the longest-surviving ex-president.
0:25:59 > 0:26:06Now, Janine, Janine... in order to avoid becoming the new high scorers, you want 6 or less.
0:26:08 > 0:26:13- Do you agree with Mark? This is a harder board?- Yeah, I knew a few.
0:26:13 > 0:26:19I didn't think I'd know any. I could probably guess the bottom one, but it's not going to be 6.
0:26:19 > 0:26:26There's one random president that I know. I'll say him anyway in case he's the so-called doctrine.
0:26:26 > 0:26:30I'm going to say Martin van Buren.
0:26:30 > 0:26:35OK, let's see if Martin van Buren is the man who gave his name to a doctrine in 1823.
0:26:35 > 0:26:42Your red line is low. If anyone can get you below that it's Martin van Buren, surely.
0:26:43 > 0:26:48No! I'm afraid not on this occasion. I'm sorry. An incorrect answer.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51It takes your total up to 170.
0:26:51 > 0:26:56A good guess, though. Not a million miles away from when he was president, 1837.
0:26:56 > 0:27:01Steve, you're the last person to have this board. Talk us through it.
0:27:01 > 0:27:06I think I know a few. Barack Obama for the born in Hawaii.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09Franklin D Roosevelt for the New Deal.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12I don't know the third one.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15The fifth one, I think, is Dwight D Eisenhower.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18And the last one, Ronnie Reagan.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21I'll go with born in Hawaii, Barack Obama.
0:27:21 > 0:27:25Born in Hawaii, Barack Obama. You're on 29 and already through.
0:27:25 > 0:27:29Let's see if that's right and how many said it.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32It's right.
0:27:34 > 0:27:3648.
0:27:36 > 0:27:3948 takes your total up to 77.
0:27:42 > 0:27:48They're constantly trying to prove he's not American, Donald Trump and his acolytes,
0:27:48 > 0:27:53but very much born in Hawaii. Franklin D Roosevelt was much better. The New Deal.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55Would have scored you 1 point.
0:27:55 > 0:27:59The doctrine is James Monroe. Very well done if you said that.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01That's 2 points.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05And the president on VJ Day was Harry S Truman.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07It would have scored you 10 points.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10And appeared in over 50 films - Ronald Reagan.
0:28:10 > 0:28:14- He'd have scored 56. Well done if you got all of these.- Thanks.
0:28:14 > 0:28:18At the end of our second round, it's Janine and David we say goodbye to.
0:28:18 > 0:28:22I'm so sorry. Such a fantastic performance in the first round
0:28:22 > 0:28:26and then US Presidents came up. It was tough, though.
0:28:26 > 0:28:30Well done, taking a risk. I think you needed to, Janine.
0:28:30 > 0:28:37- You weren't far off it. It's been great having you on. Thank you, Janine and David!- Thank you.
0:28:38 > 0:28:43But for the remaining two pairs it's time for the head-to-head.
0:28:47 > 0:28:52Congratulations, Suzy and Mark, Steve and Ian. You're one step closer to playing for our jackpot
0:28:52 > 0:29:00which currently stands at £1,250. We need to decide who plays for it, so you now go head-to-head.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02You are now allowed to confer.
0:29:02 > 0:29:05The first pair to win two questions will play for the jackpot.
0:29:05 > 0:29:11- Steve and Ian, you were here last time.- Yeah. - What do you make of your rivals?
0:29:11 > 0:29:19- I think we've got some competition! They were very sharp earlier on. - Yeah, they were. Suzy and Mark,
0:29:19 > 0:29:23- it was Round One last time.- Yeah. - And here you are the golden couple.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26Are we? OK.
0:29:26 > 0:29:31Suzy and Mark, Steve and Ian, very best of luck. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:29:34 > 0:29:41OK, here comes your first question and it concerns...South African-born England cricketers.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44South African-born England cricketers. Richard?
0:29:44 > 0:29:50We'll show you the surnames of five cricketers born in South Africa, but who played for England.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53- Give us their first names, please. - OK, thanks.
0:29:53 > 0:29:59Let's reveal our five surnames of South African-born England cricketers.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06I'll read those all one last time.
0:30:11 > 0:30:16Now, Suzy and Mark, you've played best throughout the show so far and get to go first.
0:30:16 > 0:30:24Right...well, I know one. And I think we should probably go for the one I know.
0:30:24 > 0:30:29- I don't know any.- Just in case the other guys don't know about cricket.- I bet they do!
0:30:29 > 0:30:33I think we'll go with Kevin Pietersen.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35OK, Kevin Pietersen.
0:30:35 > 0:30:39- Steve and Ian, what will you go for? - I'd say Basil.
0:30:39 > 0:30:43- Do you want to fill in the board? - Basil D'Oliveira.
0:30:43 > 0:30:47Dernbach... It's not Denis Compton, surely.
0:30:47 > 0:30:51- Trott - no idea. - Let's not guess. Go with...
0:30:51 > 0:30:53Basil D'Oliveira.
0:30:53 > 0:30:58Basil D'Oliveira. We have Kevin Pietersen playing Basil D'Oliveira.
0:30:58 > 0:31:02Suzy and Mark said Kevin Pietersen. Is that right? How many said it?
0:31:02 > 0:31:04It's right.
0:31:07 > 0:31:0960.
0:31:11 > 0:31:17Steve and Ian have gone for Basil D'Oliveira. Is that right? How many people said that?
0:31:19 > 0:31:21It's right.
0:31:24 > 0:31:2641.
0:31:28 > 0:31:32Well done, Steve and Ian. After one question, it's 1-0.
0:31:32 > 0:31:37A huge amount of names could have been put on this list. A lot of English cricketers.
0:31:37 > 0:31:43This is just a small selection. Dernbach, one of the newer England players. Jade Dernbach.
0:31:43 > 0:31:49Would have scored 9 points. Compton. Some people at home might think of Denis Compton,
0:31:49 > 0:31:56but he is the grandfather of the England opener Nick Compton. Another new star. 6 points.
0:31:56 > 0:32:01And Jonathan Trott, of course. He would have scored you 20.
0:32:01 > 0:32:06- Not a bad score.- Good innings. - It's not great. None of them really got in.
0:32:06 > 0:32:11Thanks very much indeed, Richard. So here comes your second question.
0:32:11 > 0:32:16Suzy and Mark, you have to win this to stay in the game. It concerns...
0:32:16 > 0:32:18DNA.
0:32:18 > 0:32:23- DNA, Richard.- We're going to give you five clues to facts about DNA.
0:32:23 > 0:32:29- Can you give us the most obscure answer?- Let's reveal our five clues. Here they come.
0:32:29 > 0:32:31HE READS THE LIST
0:32:48 > 0:32:51I'll read those all one last time.
0:33:03 > 0:33:09There we are. Five clues to five facts about DNA. Steve and Ian, you will go first.
0:33:09 > 0:33:14- The fourth one?- Yeah? - I think it's Crick. Francis Crick.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17OK, you're going to say Crick.
0:33:17 > 0:33:23- Suzy and Mark, the board is all yours.- What a lovely board it is(!)
0:33:23 > 0:33:28I think, yeah, we're struggling for any obscure ones.
0:33:28 > 0:33:33We're going to go with the A in DNA stands for Acid.
0:33:33 > 0:33:37Acid, say Suzy and Mark. We have Francis Crick and Acid.
0:33:37 > 0:33:42Steve and Ian said Francis Crick. Is that right? How many said it?
0:33:43 > 0:33:45It's right.
0:33:48 > 0:33:52That's a good answer. 12 for Francis Crick! Well done!
0:33:57 > 0:34:04And Suzy and Mark have said Acid for the A in DNA. Is that right? Let's see how many people said that.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06It's right.
0:34:10 > 0:34:1239.
0:34:14 > 0:34:21Not a bad answer, but Francis Crick beats it. Steve and Ian, after only two questions you are through, 2-0.
0:34:21 > 0:34:27Well played, Steve and Ian. It's deoxyribonucleic acid, to give it its full name.
0:34:27 > 0:34:33Some people will be surprised to know it was 1869 it was discovered. 19th century, 8 points.
0:34:33 > 0:34:40Terrific answer if you said that. The first sheep was Dolly. Would have scored you 85 points.
0:34:40 > 0:34:46And Sir Alec Jeffreys. Incredibly important thing, DNA profiling,
0:34:46 > 0:34:50not discovered until the 1980s. 9 points for that.
0:34:50 > 0:34:57- 19th century was the best answer. - Thanks. So the pair leaving us are Suzy and Mark.
0:34:57 > 0:35:02You played so well today. Brilliant scoring throughout.
0:35:02 > 0:35:06- Just Steve and Ian pipped you. - Strong team.- Yeah.
0:35:06 > 0:35:10It's been great having you on. Thank you, Suzy and Mark.
0:35:10 > 0:35:14But for Steve and Ian it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:18 > 0:35:23Congratulations, Steve and Ian. You fought off all the competition to win our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:29 > 0:35:36You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot, which stands at £1,250.
0:35:36 > 0:35:41You've done very well. I think the high point was Cameron Mackintosh.
0:35:41 > 0:35:46The low point, probably Russell Watson, but...
0:35:46 > 0:35:48What would you like to see come up?
0:35:48 > 0:35:50Politics.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53- Rugby.- Rugby.
0:35:53 > 0:35:58- Films.- That'll do. - Music. Blues, jazz...
0:35:58 > 0:36:02- We wouldn't like rappers. - That's about my limit.
0:36:02 > 0:36:05Very best of luck. Start by choosing a category.
0:36:05 > 0:36:09You have four options. Here they are.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17Irish Geography?
0:36:17 > 0:36:19I'm comfortable with that.
0:36:19 > 0:36:25World Sports Leagues not so much, but Irish Geography I'd favour, I think.
0:36:25 > 0:36:29- Let's go for Irish Geography. - Irish Geography, please, Alexander.
0:36:29 > 0:36:34- Irish Geography it is. Richard? - OK, here's your three categories.
0:36:34 > 0:36:38Hopefully, one suits you. Pick an answer from any of these.
0:36:38 > 0:36:44We're looking for the name of any city on the island of Ireland, up to February 2013.
0:36:44 > 0:36:48Any national park on the island of Ireland.
0:36:48 > 0:36:49Or any "Inish" islands.
0:36:49 > 0:36:53Any islands off the coast of Ireland with the prefix "Inish".
0:36:53 > 0:37:00So any Irish cities, national parks or island with the prefix "Inish". Very, very best of luck.
0:37:00 > 0:37:06OK, thank you very much. You've got up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:06 > 0:37:12To win that jackpot, only one needs to be pointless. Your answers can come from any of these categories.
0:37:12 > 0:37:16One from each, all three from one, it's entirely up to you.
0:37:16 > 0:37:20- Are you ready?- Yes. - Let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:37:20 > 0:37:23Your time starts now.
0:37:23 > 0:37:29- Cities of Ireland... There's Cork, Derry, Armagh... - Limerick.- Limerick.
0:37:29 > 0:37:33Armagh. The parks I'm not quite sure of.
0:37:33 > 0:37:36Isn't there the Ring of Kerry?
0:37:36 > 0:37:38Ring of Kerry is...
0:37:40 > 0:37:44What's the definition? Galway. National parks...
0:37:44 > 0:37:49For cities, I'd go for Armagh, somewhere up north. Derry.
0:37:49 > 0:37:55- The city of Derry.- And then one of the... Is it a city or a town?
0:37:55 > 0:38:00It's a town. But Inishmore is one of the islands.
0:38:00 > 0:38:05- So we can go for two cities. - Two cities.- And go for one island.
0:38:05 > 0:38:09- Yeah. Cities make more sense. - I think so, yeah.
0:38:09 > 0:38:13- I think we're there. - 10 seconds left.
0:38:13 > 0:38:17- OK, you're happy to stop the clock? - Yes.- Yes.
0:38:17 > 0:38:23- OK, what are you going to give me? - We'll give you two cities - Derry and Armagh.
0:38:23 > 0:38:29- Derry, Armagh. - And we'll have Inishmore for the Irish islands.- Inishmore.
0:38:29 > 0:38:33OK. Of those three answers, which is your best shot?
0:38:33 > 0:38:37- Armagh.- Armagh. - I'm sorry - do you agree?- Yeah.
0:38:37 > 0:38:41OK, Armagh we'll put last. Which is least likely?
0:38:41 > 0:38:46- Derry.- OK, so Derry, Inishmore, Armagh.- Yeah.
0:38:46 > 0:38:50Let's put those up in that order and here they are.
0:38:54 > 0:38:58Very best of luck. Your first answer was Derry.
0:38:58 > 0:39:04If this is correct and pointless, you will win today's jackpot of £1,250.
0:39:04 > 0:39:06Steve, what would you do with that?
0:39:06 > 0:39:13Probably just get the family round, take them out for a big curry somewhere or pay my bar bill.
0:39:13 > 0:39:21- Good stuff. Ian, how about you? - I'm going to buy a new display cabinet to put the trophy in.
0:39:21 > 0:39:25What an excellent idea! Very best of luck.
0:39:25 > 0:39:31Let us find out if Derry, or Londonderry, is a city on the island of Ireland.
0:39:33 > 0:39:35It's right.
0:39:35 > 0:39:41Now if this goes all the way down to zero, you will leave here with £1,250.
0:39:41 > 0:39:43Derry taking us down...
0:39:43 > 0:39:46Oh, 22! The city of Derry.
0:39:47 > 0:39:53But you put that one first on purpose. You knew that wasn't going to be pointless.
0:39:53 > 0:39:58It was just holding a place there. Your second answer was Inishmore.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01Again, if this is pointless, it wins the jackpot.
0:40:01 > 0:40:07For £1,250, is Inishmore an Irish island with "Inish" in its name?
0:40:08 > 0:40:10Well, it is.
0:40:10 > 0:40:15Taking us down through the 60s. Derry took us down to 22.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17Your second answer passes that.
0:40:17 > 0:40:20Down into single figures...
0:40:20 > 0:40:242! There we are. This is more like it.
0:40:28 > 0:40:312 for Inishmore.
0:40:31 > 0:40:37OK, everything is now riding on your final answer, Armagh. Are you sure Armagh's a city?
0:40:37 > 0:40:40- No.- You seemed pretty confident. - Well, reasonably sure.
0:40:40 > 0:40:46OK. That's the first thing we have to worry about. Next is whether anyone remembered it.
0:40:46 > 0:40:50If it is pointless, it'll win you that jackpot of £1,250.
0:40:50 > 0:40:55Is Armagh a city on the island of Ireland?
0:40:56 > 0:40:58Yes, it is.
0:40:58 > 0:41:01So Derry took us down to 22.
0:41:01 > 0:41:05Inishmore, your second answer, took us down to 2.
0:41:05 > 0:41:07Can Armagh take us to pointless?
0:41:07 > 0:41:09Oh, no! 4!
0:41:15 > 0:41:22Well, three good answers, two exceptionally good answers with fantastic low scores.
0:41:22 > 0:41:29You'd be thrilled with those, but in this last round it's only pointless answers we're interested in.
0:41:29 > 0:41:33You didn't find a pointless answer and don't win today's jackpot of £1,250.
0:41:33 > 0:41:39That rolls over, but we've really enjoyed having you on both shows and you take home a trophy each.
0:41:39 > 0:41:43- Well done.- Thank you. - Thanks very much.
0:41:48 > 0:41:53Unlucky, Steve and Ian. There's not an enormous amount of pointless answers.
0:41:53 > 0:41:59Our Irish viewers will get some. Let's look at the cities, all the Irish cities.
0:41:59 > 0:42:03Dublin would have scored you 89, Belfast 61, Cork 53.
0:42:03 > 0:42:08Some lower ones - Galway 10, Waterford would have scored 7.
0:42:08 > 0:42:15Also Limerick, for 8. You would have got 2 points for Kilkenny or Newry.
0:42:15 > 0:42:21That only leaves one pointless answer and that was Lisburn. Well done if you said that at home.
0:42:21 > 0:42:26Let's take a look at the national parks on the island of Ireland.
0:42:26 > 0:42:31Connemara would have been a pointless answer, as would Glenveagh.
0:42:31 > 0:42:37And the "Inish" islands. Only four pointless answers - Inish Beg, Inishbiggle,
0:42:37 > 0:42:41with a population of 39. Hello if you're watching.
0:42:41 > 0:42:44Inishbofin and Inisheer as well.
0:42:44 > 0:42:48Inishmore is the largest of the Aran islands.
0:42:48 > 0:42:56Not many pointless answers. Terrific play over two shows. Sorry the jackpot didn't go your way.
0:42:56 > 0:43:02Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to you, but we've loved having you. Great contestants.
0:43:04 > 0:43:12Sadly, Steve and Ian didn't win our jackpot today, so it rolls over to the next show at £2,250.
0:43:14 > 0:43:21- Join us to see if someone can win it. Meanwhile, goodbye from Richard. - Goodbye.- And from me. Goodbye.
