0:00:15 > 0:00:18APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:00:22 > 0:00:26Thank you very much. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong. A warm welcome to Pointless,
0:00:26 > 0:00:31the show where obvious answers mean nothing and obscure answers mean everything. Let's meet our players.
0:00:35 > 0:00:36And couple number one.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40Hello, I'm Steve. This is my good friend Andrew and we're up from Brighton.
0:00:40 > 0:00:44- Couple two.- Hi, I'm Lee and this is my work colleague Simon and we're from Essex.
0:00:44 > 0:00:49- Couple three.- Hi. I'm Alex. This is Janet. We're work colleagues from Luton.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53- And finally couple four.- Hi, I'm Ken. This is my wife, Lizzie, and we're from Edinburgh.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56And these are today's contestants.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01We'll find out more about you throughout the show as it goes along.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03That leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06A beacon of truth in the dark corridor of uncertainty,
0:01:06 > 0:01:09- it's my Pointless friend, Richard. - Hiya!
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Hello, everybody!
0:01:11 > 0:01:14- Good afternoon.- And to you.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17I think we're going to have an absolute cracker today.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21We've got three returning pairs. All three pairs were unlucky last time.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24So they're all going to be strong. Lizzie and Ken were unlucky.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28They were one word out. They said black and white instead of black or white for a Michael Jackson song.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32The second round, Lee and Simon were unlucky because we gave them a fashion question!
0:01:32 > 0:01:35And then most unlucky, Janet and Alex, who got to the head-to-head
0:01:35 > 0:01:39and they were one-all in the head-to-head and they saw a picture of Channing Tatum,
0:01:39 > 0:01:42the model turned actor, and called him Tatum Channing!
0:01:42 > 0:01:46Saw themselves knocked out. So three very strong pairs
0:01:46 > 0:01:50and we've got Andrew and Steve, who, as everyone from Brighton says, "up" from Brighton.
0:01:50 > 0:01:55I suspect they'll be strong. So it should be a classic Round One real old school Pointless.
0:01:55 > 0:02:00The sort of thing we didn't know so much about 500 shows ago, but know a bit more about now!
0:02:00 > 0:02:01Excellent. Thanks very much, Richard.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04All our questions on Pointless have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08Our contestants need to find the obscure answers those 100 people didn't get.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12Everyone's trying to find a pointless answer, one none of our 100 people gave.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16Each time that happens, we'll add 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Kate and Isobel didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:02:18 > 0:02:23so we add another £1,000 to that. So today's jackpot starts off at £2,000.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:31 > 0:02:35OK. In this first round, I'll take an answer from each of you, but there's no conferring.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39At the end of the round, the pair with the highest score will be heading home.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43OK. Our first category today is chemistry.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47Can you decide in your pairs who's going first and who's second.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55OK. And the question concerns...
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Chemical elements. Richard?
0:02:59 > 0:03:02In a moment, Xander's going to show you four criteria on this board
0:03:02 > 0:03:07and we're looking for any chemical element that fits into any of the four criteria you're about to see.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10We're using the list of elements as of 1st June 2012
0:03:10 > 0:03:12as issued by the IUPAC.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16So any of the elements on that table that fit into the four criteria you're about to see.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19- Best of luck to everybody. - Who are the IUPAC?
0:03:19 > 0:03:22The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24- They are great guys. - I love those guys!
0:03:24 > 0:03:27We quite often have parties round at my place.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31- They've become great friends of the show.- Great friends. They supply us with these elements
0:03:31 > 0:03:34- and I invite them round for element parties.- Terrific people.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37Brilliant. Thanks, Richard.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40As Richard mentioned, we're going to put four criteria on the board.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43The answers you give have to fulfil at least one of these criteria.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Here are those four criteria.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00I'll read those all again.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Steve and Andrew, you all drew lots before the show. Today you go first.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19- Steve, welcome to Pointless.- Thank you.- Great to have you here.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Up from Brighton. What do you do in Brighton?
0:04:21 > 0:04:24- I'm a self-employed decorator.- Have you done that for ever and ever?
0:04:24 > 0:04:26No, no. Only about 30 years now!
0:04:26 > 0:04:29- Good stuff.- Seems a long time ago!
0:04:29 > 0:04:31When you're not painting and decorating, what do you get up to?
0:04:31 > 0:04:36- I change from time to time. - I change every day!
0:04:36 > 0:04:40- Keep things fresh.- At the moment, I'm trying to teach myself the guitar.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44- How are you getting on?- Not too bad. I've been doing it for six months now.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47- You know.- Now, how about these chemical elements?
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Pretty sure of a couple of them.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51OK. What's your best shot?
0:04:51 > 0:04:52I'm going for tungsten.
0:04:52 > 0:04:59Tungsten, says Steve. Let's see if that's right and if so, how many of our 100 people said tungsten?
0:05:00 > 0:05:01It's right.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11Two! Very, very well done indeed!
0:05:12 > 0:05:15- Two for tungsten. Richard? - Well played, Steve.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Chemical symbol W. We've had three shows recently
0:05:18 > 0:05:21where we've had one new pair and three returning pairs.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24And all three times, the new pair have won.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26All three times. Will we see it four times in a row? Very good start.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30Very strong indeed. Now, Lee. Welcome back.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Remind us what you do, Lee.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35I'm a collections manager for a digital print company.
0:05:35 > 0:05:41And in your other life, Lee. What are the high points of your secular life?
0:05:41 > 0:05:43The birth of my children.
0:05:43 > 0:05:49- I would say I went to a recording of Alan Partridge, which was a big moment in my life.- Did you?
0:05:49 > 0:05:52- At TV Centre?- Yes.- Nothing sad about that.- It was fantastic.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Was that from Knowing Me, Knowing You or from I'm Alan Partridge?
0:05:55 > 0:05:59- Both. I went to literally all of them. Very lucky.- Good stuff.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02How are you feeling about these chemical elements?
0:06:02 > 0:06:04I wouldn't have chose it, but I think I've got an answer.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Tell us what your answer is.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09- I'm going to go chlorine. - Chlorine. Chlorine says Lee.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13Is it right, and if it is, how many of our 100 people said chlorine?
0:06:14 > 0:06:16It's right.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19The bar's been set pretty low by Steve with two.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22But down chlorine goes. Very well done. Down to nine.
0:06:22 > 0:06:23Another single figure. Great score.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Yes, chlorine. It's got a C in it, of course.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33And chlorine, they extract from the smell at swimming pools. That's where it's from.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39- Thanks, Richard. Janet.- Hello. - Welcome back to Pointless.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Remind us what happened last time.
0:06:42 > 0:06:47We got through to the head-to-head, but we went out on the third question
0:06:47 > 0:06:50when we reversed the name of an actor!
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Alex, you have a theory as to why this might have happened.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Because we work in a library, we have to shelve things by the surname.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57So that's the reason I got it wrong.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00I think that is exactly right, you see?
0:07:00 > 0:07:05Now, Janet, tell us what you get up to in your spare time.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09I'm working my way through a list of 50 things I've never done before.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12For my 50th birthday. All to be done in one year.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15So when is your fif... Sorry, this is a very rude question.
0:07:15 > 0:07:20- But this is some time off? You're not telling me you're 50? - I am, yes.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23- Blimey!- One of the things is to get on a TV quiz show!
0:07:23 > 0:07:26- So this is it? You're ticking off... - I can tick this one off, now.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30I'm so touched. Thank you very much for picking us as the game show to be on.
0:07:30 > 0:07:31What else have you done?
0:07:31 > 0:07:37- I did a Tae Kwando lesson. - How did it go?- Terrifying beyond all measure!
0:07:38 > 0:07:42Very good. Good stuff. Well, chemical elements.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45I think I'm going to go for Neon.
0:07:45 > 0:07:50Neon, says Janet. Let's see if that's right and if so how many of our 100 people said Neon.
0:07:52 > 0:07:53It's right.
0:07:57 > 0:07:5931 for Neon.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Well done. Neon, four letters.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08It's also one of the noble gases, so it fits into two of those criteria.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12- There you go. See how this works? - There we are. Yes, I'm getting the hang of this!
0:08:12 > 0:08:16Now, Ken. Welcome back. Remind us what you do, Ken?
0:08:16 > 0:08:19I'm an information analyst for the NHS in Scotland.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Remind us what you get up to in your spare time.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26I do all sorts of things. Write musicals, plays, play board games.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Do lots of theatre.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30So, Ken, what are you going to go for?
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Hopefully I'll get this right.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Rather than the last time.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36I'm going to go with Cadmium.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Cadmium. Cadmium says Ken.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42Sounds good. Is it right? How many of our 100 people said Cadmium?
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Well, there we are. It's right.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Our best score of this pass has been two.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53Let's see if you can get down there. Four for cadmium. Not bad at all.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58That's a very good answer. Very well done.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02- It was used in electroplating a lot. - Thank you.- It's a pleasure.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Good. We're halfway through the round.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Let's look at those scores as they stand.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10Two, the best score of that pass. Steve, very well done. Tungsten, a great answer.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13Up to four. Cadmium, Ken. Very well done.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16Ken and Lizzie, Steve and Andrew looking pretty strong.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20Lee and Simon not too far ahead on nine and then 31, Janet.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24That's quite a long way ahead. So, Alex, we need a brilliant answer from you in the next pass.
0:09:24 > 0:09:29Hope that keeps you in the game. Best of luck. Can the second players take their places at the podium.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36Now, Lizzie, we want the name of any chemical element
0:09:36 > 0:09:39that fulfils one or more of these criteria.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Lizzie, you work in the same line as Ken?
0:09:42 > 0:09:44- Yes, I do.- Even in the same building.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Thankfully not in the same team!
0:09:46 > 0:09:52Not in the same team. We discovered last time you have a lot of interests in theatre.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54What else are your interests, Lizzie?
0:09:54 > 0:10:00- Reading is my number one hobby. With a toddler you have a lot less time for it!- Certainly.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Or just reading a lot of books for toddlers!
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Same book over and over again, normally, but yeah!
0:10:05 > 0:10:09Do you have a favourite author?
0:10:09 > 0:10:13My favourite author is Georgette Heyer. She wrote in the 1930s to '50s.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16- Regency romances!- Very good.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20OK. You're on four. The high scorers are Alex and Janet on 31.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24If you score 26 or less, you'll avoid becoming the new high scorers.
0:10:24 > 0:10:25What are you going to go for?
0:10:25 > 0:10:29I am going to go for Lawrencium.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33Lawrencium. Lawrencium says Lizzie.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37Here comes your red line. Get below that and you are in Round Two.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40Let's see if it's right. How many people said Lawrencium?
0:10:41 > 0:10:43It's right.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49And you're in Round Two.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53And it's the best score of the round so far. Very well done indeed.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55That takes your total up to five.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Very well done.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Lizzie and Ken mean business today!
0:10:59 > 0:11:02That's a terrific answer. Named after Ernest Lawrence.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05I'm picking up quite a good working knowledge of the periodic table,
0:11:05 > 0:11:08- but Lawrencium is one I hadn't... - Is that new to you?- Yeah.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11- That's a good one. Tuck that away. - I will! I will.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13- Now, then. Alex, welcome back. - Thank you.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16What do you do in your spare time?
0:11:16 > 0:11:18I sometimes have my daughter, so a lot of reading to her.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21But also I like to organise parties as well.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24We had one leaving do a while ago and had a movie-themed one.
0:11:24 > 0:11:29So we had the paparazzi outside taking pictures and clapper boards with titles on and stuff.
0:11:29 > 0:11:34Good stuff. Do you do parties for the library team as well?
0:11:34 > 0:11:36We know how to party at the library!
0:11:36 > 0:11:39I would imagine every day is a bit of a party, isn't it? Yeah.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41- Now, you're the high scorers, Alex. - I know.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44You're the high scorers, but I think you'll have a good answer.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46Thanks for your faith!
0:11:46 > 0:11:49I'm going to say californium.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53Californium, says Alex. Californium. No red line as you are the high scorers.
0:11:53 > 0:11:58This is quite often a low scorer on Pointless. Let's see if it is today. Californium.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02It's right.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Still going down, Alex. There it goes.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08Very well done, indeed. Five.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10That's a great score.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Takes your total to 36.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14Let's hope that's enough to keep you in.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18Back in the old days of Pointless, that would have been a pointless answer.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21- I bet that was your answer.- I haven't even thought of one!- No?
0:12:21 > 0:12:23No.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Yeah, californium. It's an artificially produced element.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29Only a few milligrams produced each year. Californium.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32- Now, then. Simon.- Hello.- Simon,
0:12:32 > 0:12:35welcome back. Remind us what you do, Simon?
0:12:35 > 0:12:39I'm a business analyst for the same printing company Lee works for.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42Remind us what you like getting up to when you're not doing that.
0:12:42 > 0:12:48I'm a big fan of Norwich City. I'm part of a group called the Chelmsford Canaries
0:12:48 > 0:12:51who we set up and we've got our own flag and everything like that.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54Fabulous. Are you there every week at Carrow Road?
0:12:54 > 0:12:57Not every week. I have a daughter, so she takes up some weekends!
0:12:57 > 0:13:02- But I like to go as often as I can. - Good stuff. Now, then.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04What are you going to go for, Simon?
0:13:04 > 0:13:07There's a few I've got in mind,
0:13:07 > 0:13:10but I think though I'm going to go with arsenic.
0:13:10 > 0:13:15Arsenic. Arsenic, says Simon. There is your red line.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19The high scorers are Alex and Janet on 36. 26 is your goal.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22Let's see if you can get down to 26 or below with arsenic.
0:13:24 > 0:13:25It's right.
0:13:29 > 0:13:30Well done. You've done it.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34Look at that - three! Great score, Simon.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36Three takes your total up to 12.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40I said it was going to be a cracking show. Everyone's doing brilliantly.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44Another terrific answer. Prawns are very high naturally in arsenic.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47- That's why they're so delicious! - Mm-hm.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Thanks very much indeed.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52- Now, Andrew. Andrew, welcome to the show.- Thank you.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56- What do you do in Brighton?- I run a recruitment agency business.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Have you done that for a long time?
0:13:58 > 0:14:00- For about the last ten years.- Good.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03In your spare time, what do you like to do, Andrew?
0:14:03 > 0:14:04Like Steve, I'm a big football fan.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07We're season ticket holders at Brighton and Hove Albion.
0:14:07 > 0:14:11So most of the time is spent at home games and quite a few away games.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13Very good. Now, you're on two.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16You want to score 33 or less to stay in the game.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20- How do you feel about chemistry? - I don't feel very good at all!
0:14:20 > 0:14:24OK. If you like, you can talk us through your thinking and your answers.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28Well, I can think of a few fairly obvious ones
0:14:28 > 0:14:30that fit in those four categories.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32I might have to take a bit of a punt.
0:14:32 > 0:14:37I'm not sure. I hope it's got one single letter.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41- I'll say Einsteinium.- Einsteinium, says Andrew.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43Einsteinium.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46There's your red line, Andrew. Get below that, you're in Round Two.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49Einsteinium. Is it right, and if it is, how many people said it?
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Ooh, no!
0:14:53 > 0:14:57Bad luck, Andrew. I thought that was a really good answer.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01Shows how little I know. I'm afraid it's incorrect and scores the maximum of 100 points.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04Takes your total to 102. I'm really sorry.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07That's quite a punt to take, on Einsteinium.
0:15:07 > 0:15:11It's Es, Einsteinium, and it doesn't fit any of those other criteria.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14There are all sorts of well-known ones that would have seen you through.
0:15:14 > 0:15:15Lead would have scored 13.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18Gold would have scored 29. Copper would have scored 15.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22Let's go through. There's actually very few pointless answers here.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24So very well done to our 100 people.
0:15:24 > 0:15:25I'll take you through them.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34All of those containing C's.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38Yttrium has a one-letter chemical symbol.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40That's got the chemical symbol Y.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43I'll take you through some of the low scorers in some of the categories.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Uranium would have scored two.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47Fluorine would have scored three as would Phosphorus.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49Those were the single letter ones.
0:15:49 > 0:15:54For the noble gases, the best answer was radon, which scored four.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Krypton would have scored ten.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00The element with C, we've seen copernicium. Curium would have scored one.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03Nickel would have scored one. That would have been a very good answer.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07Let's look at the high scoring answers, that most of our 100 people said.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15And right at the top, what do you think might be top here?
0:16:15 > 0:16:18- Carbon.- It is carbon, yes. Carbon.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23Thanks very much, Richard. At the end of our first round,
0:16:23 > 0:16:26the pair heading home with their high score of 102,
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Andrew and Steve. We look forward to seeing you again next time.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Sorry to say goodbye so soon. Great contestants. Andrew and Steve.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36But for the remaining three pairs, it's time for Round Two.
0:16:41 > 0:16:46We're down to three pairs. At the end of this round, we'll be down to just two pairs.
0:16:46 > 0:16:47Very telling first round.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50Lee and Simon back in the game. Very strong indeed.
0:16:50 > 0:16:55But Lizzie and Ken taking no prisoners at all. Wonderful low scores there.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58Janet, very lucky there. Neon turned out to be an expensive scorer.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01But thrown a lifeline by our newcomers.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04Well done. Welcome to Round Two, all of you.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06Very best of luck. Our category is...
0:17:08 > 0:17:10Famous people.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13Can you decide in your pairs who's going first and who second.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22And the question concerns...
0:17:24 > 0:17:26Famous Geordies. Richard.
0:17:26 > 0:17:30On each pass, we'll show you six clues to famous people who were born in Newcastle on Tyne
0:17:30 > 0:17:32or in the Tyne and Wear area.
0:17:32 > 0:17:37Just give us the most obscure, please. 12 Geordies to guess in all at home. Good luck.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41Let's reveal our first board of famous Geordies. Here they are.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03I'll read those all one last time.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28Six famous Geordies.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Lee, what do you make of that board?
0:18:30 > 0:18:32I'm very comfortable with two of them.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34I'm trying to work out in my head which one to go for.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37I'm struggling.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40I think I'll go Eric Idle for Spamalot.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42Eric Idle, the Monty Python member.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45Let's see if Eric Idle's right and how many of our 100 people said Eric Idle.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47It's right.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Very well done indeed. 17 for Eric Idle.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00Good start from podium one. Eric Idle, born in South Shields.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03Thanks, Richard. Janet.
0:19:03 > 0:19:09I'm going to go for the footballer as Gazza. Paul Gascoigne.
0:19:09 > 0:19:14Paul Gascoigne transferred to Newcastle United for £15 million in 1996.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said Gazza.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23Oh, no! Bad luck, Janet. I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27Scores you the maximum of 100 points. Sorry.
0:19:27 > 0:19:32- Sorry, Janet. Right era. He's a Geordie as well. He was at Rangers at that time.- OK.
0:19:32 > 0:19:37Thanks very much. Now, Lizzie, you are the last person to have this board.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40It's a bit closer to home.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43- It's really not.- Oh, really?
0:19:43 > 0:19:46- I knew one answer.- Do you want to go through the board
0:19:46 > 0:19:50and see if there's anything you might be able to submit.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53The one answer I knew was Eric Idle.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55So I'm going to have to have a completely random guess.
0:19:55 > 0:19:59I'm going to think of a famous footballer.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01George Best.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03I'm guessing that's probably wrong!
0:20:03 > 0:20:08In 1996(!) George Best transferring to Newcastle.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11Let's see if it's right and if it is, how many people said George Best.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Bad luck, Lizzie.
0:20:15 > 0:20:19I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer. Scores the maximum of 100 points.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21- Richard?- Unlucky, Lizzie.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23I disallowed that for the following reasons.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26Firstly, he wasn't playing in 1996.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29Secondly, he was never sold for 15 million, thirdly he was never sold to Newcastle.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31And fourthly, he's not a Geordie!
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Apart from that, it's a terrific guess!
0:20:35 > 0:20:40You know what, the word "footballer", you absolutely got that! Terrific.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42No, that is a tough board.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44The footballer is Alan Shearer.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46Not Gazza, not George Best.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Alan Shearer would have scored you 27 points.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51Quite a tough board, this.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53The second solo album Messy Little Raindrops.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56Who's a Geordie, a Geordie singer?
0:20:56 > 0:21:00Cheryl Cole. She would have scored you 25.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03Well done if you knew the winner of Strictly Come Dancing Series 2.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06She's a very famous actress, as well.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10In EastEnders and all sorts, Jill Halfpenny. Scored six points.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13- The director of Resident Evil. - That I think I know.- Do you?
0:21:13 > 0:21:16- Is it Paul Anderson?- It is Paul Anderson, yes. Well done.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19That would have scored two points.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21And the Big Breakfast presenter, former member of Crush,
0:21:21 > 0:21:23she also used to be in Byker Grove.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27- Donna Air.- Donna Air!- Would have scored you one point.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30That's the best answer up there. That's a tough board.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33- A very tough board.- A one-pointer, two-pointer, six-pointers.
0:21:33 > 0:21:38If you don't know your football, tough to be on that third podium in that round.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Thanks very much indeed. Halfway through the round, let's look at those scores.
0:21:41 > 0:21:46Two scores between the three pairs. Best score by a mile, Lee and Simon.
0:21:46 > 0:21:47Very well done. 17, you are.
0:21:47 > 0:21:53And then hunkering down on 100, we have Lizzie, Ken, Janet and Alex.
0:21:53 > 0:21:58Ken and Alex, it's between you to decide who stays with us and who'll leave at the end of the round.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01Best of luck. Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:22:05 > 0:22:08Let's put six more clues on the board. Here they are.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28I'll read those one final time.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46We want the names of these famous Geordies
0:22:46 > 0:22:48described by the clues.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Ken, you're going to try to find the one the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:22:51 > 0:22:56- That's an easier board, I think. - No!- Isn't it?
0:22:56 > 0:23:00Bizarrely, I'm a big fan of The Animals, but don't know their lead singer.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03It's annoying. I think I might know one of the others,
0:23:03 > 0:23:07but I'm going to go with the one I'm fairly certain about.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11I think the person who played PJ was Ant McPartlin.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14- Ant McPartlin.- Otherwise known as Ant and Dec.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17Ant McPartlin, says Ken.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19No red line as you're joint high scorers.
0:23:19 > 0:23:23Let's see if Ant McPartlin is right, and how many of our 100 people said it.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26It's absolutely right.
0:23:30 > 0:23:3230. Not bad at all, Ken.
0:23:34 > 0:23:3630 for Ant McPartlin.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39Yes, it was either Ant or Dec, and you did well getting Anthony McPartlin.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42When he was on Byker Grove, his on-screen mum was played by his real mum.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46That's nice! Probably a bit awkward for him.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49I imagine he must have done quite a lot of wishing...
0:23:49 > 0:23:50Maybe he loves his mum.
0:23:50 > 0:23:56Going to... I love my mum, but I'm quite glad she's not floor manager on Pointless!
0:23:58 > 0:24:02Do you know what? I hope your mum is not watching. She'll be in tears now!
0:24:02 > 0:24:05She won't be. She'll be busy managing the floor!
0:24:07 > 0:24:08Thanks very much, Richard.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11Alex, you've been set a target. 30.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13You want to be scoring 29 or less.
0:24:13 > 0:24:17In fact not "want to be", you have to score 29 or less to stay in the game.
0:24:17 > 0:24:21- How are you feeling?- I preferred the first board.
0:24:21 > 0:24:22I only actually know one answer now.
0:24:22 > 0:24:26So I'll have to go for it. Jimmy Nail had a hit with Ain't No Doubt in '92.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29Ain't No Doubt, Jimmy Nail.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said it.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34There's your red line. Get below that and you're in the head-to-head.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38It's right.
0:24:41 > 0:24:42Ooh, you've done it!
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Wow! 16!
0:24:47 > 0:24:5116 for Jimmy Nail. Takes your total up to 116.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55Well played, Alex. He was born James Bradford in Benton, Newcastle upon Tyne.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57Also had hits with Love Don't Live Here Any More
0:24:57 > 0:24:59and Crocodile Shoes, as well.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Thanks very much. Now, Simon.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Simon, I have brilliant news for you.
0:25:04 > 0:25:05You are in the head-to-head.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08You're in the head-to-head even before you give your answer.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11But I feel you might be quite good at some of these.
0:25:11 > 0:25:12I certainly know a couple.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15I think the album is Sting.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18Queen of Comedy is Sarah Millican.
0:25:18 > 0:25:23But I'll take a punt to try and get a pointless answer.
0:25:23 > 0:25:27Created Viz magazine with his brother Simon - James Brown.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29James Brown, you're saying.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33James Brown. Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35No red line for you as you're already through.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39Bad luck. An incorrect answer.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41Scores you the maximum of 100 points.
0:25:41 > 0:25:45Couldn't matter less, you're already through. Your total's 117.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48I think Simon should be applauded for having a go at a pointless answer.
0:25:48 > 0:25:52- When you knew you were through. It's a classy thing to do.- It is.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54It was Simon Donald and Chris Donald.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56That's a pointless answer, as well.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59You were right about Sting releasing Nothing Like The Sun and The Soul Cages.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02A very low scorer. Would have scored two points.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05The Queen of Comedy is the lovely Sarah Millican.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08- Lovely Sarah.- Lovely lady. She would have scored you 11.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10- And the lead singer of The Animals...- I know this!
0:26:10 > 0:26:14- Xander?- Alan Price.- Not Alan Price.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Not Alan Price. Eric Burdon.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18- Oh!- Eric Burdon.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21Would have scored 19 points.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24- There you go.- So the best answer there, Chris Donald.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28Again a low-scoring board. Anyone who got all those, very well done.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31Thanks very much, Richard. At the end of our second round,
0:26:31 > 0:26:33I'm afraid it's Ken and Lizzie who are leaving us
0:26:33 > 0:26:35with their high score of 130.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38You did so well. Round One, you really meant business.
0:26:38 > 0:26:42And then, I'm afraid, you tripped up on this one.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45We have to say goodbye. It's been lovely having you on the show.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47Thank you both so much for playing. Ken and Lizzie.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52For the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00Congratulations, Lee and Simon, Janet and Alex.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03You're now one step closer to the final and a chance to play for our jackpot
0:27:03 > 0:27:06which currently stands at £2,000.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12Now, to decide which pair is going to play for that money,
0:27:12 > 0:27:13you'll now go head-to-head.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15This time you're allowed to confer.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18The first pair to win two questions will play for the jackpot.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22Well, welcome. Both of you back here for the second time.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26Here you are in the head-to-head. Janet and Alex, you were here last time.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29But Lee and Simon, welcome.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31In that last round, you each had one howler.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35Janet, we had Gazza from you, and Lee, we had James Brown. Not such a howler, actually.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37Not a bad guess.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39But two incorrect answers.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41But your other answers were enough to get you through.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44Janet and Alex, you can put your heads together.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46And this time, let's get the names the right way round!
0:27:46 > 0:27:48Best of luck. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56OK. Here comes your first question. And it concerns...
0:28:00 > 0:28:03Films adapted from Booker Prize-winning novels. Richard?
0:28:03 > 0:28:07Here are five stills now from films adapted from Booker Prize-winning novels.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09We need you to tell us the name of the film, please.
0:28:09 > 0:28:14OK. Thanks very much. Let's reveal our five images. Here they are.
0:28:14 > 0:28:15We have got...
0:28:31 > 0:28:35There we are. Five films adapted from Booker Prize-winning novels.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38Lee and Simon, you've played best throughout the show so far, so you go first.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45We're going to go C, The English Patient.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48OK. Lee and Simon are saying C, The English Patient.
0:28:48 > 0:28:51C, The English Patient.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54Now, Janet and Alex, the rest of the board is yours.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56Can you talk us through it?
0:28:56 > 0:28:59We know that A is Life of Pi. But we think that'll be too high.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01B and E, not a clue.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03The only one we can have a guess on is D,
0:29:03 > 0:29:05which we think might be Brick Lane.
0:29:05 > 0:29:09OK, you're saying Brick Lane for D.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11So, we have The English Patient and we have Brick Lane.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13Lee and Simon say The English Patient.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16Is it right, and if it is, how many people said it?
0:29:17 > 0:29:19It's right.
0:29:29 > 0:29:3116 for The English Patient.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34Janet and Alex are saying Brick Lane for D.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36Is that right, and if it is, how many people said Brick Lane?
0:29:38 > 0:29:43Ooh, bad luck, Janet and Alex. Lee and Simon, well done.
0:29:43 > 0:29:44After one question, you're up one-nil.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47Yeah, sorry. Brick Lane not a Booker Prize-winner, actually.
0:29:47 > 0:29:54D is actually the 2012 adaptation of Salman Rushdie's Midnight's Children.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57It would have scored one point, so well done if you knew that.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00A, it is a big scorer. It is Life of Pi, of course.
0:30:00 > 0:30:04Instantly recognisable. Would have scored you 58 points.
0:30:04 > 0:30:10Now, B. The book was Thomas Keneally's Schindler's Ark.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12And the film is Schindler's List.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15Liam Neeson there. That would have scored you 11 points.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18And E is a pointless answer.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20Ralph Fiennes again, there, with Cate Blanchett.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23It's an adaptation of Oscar and Lucinda.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26Pointless answer, so very well done if you said that at home.
0:30:26 > 0:30:28- Terrific work.- Thanks very much indeed.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31Second question. Janet and Alex, you get to answer this first,
0:30:31 > 0:30:34but you have to win this one to stay in the game. Best of luck.
0:30:34 > 0:30:35It concerns...
0:30:38 > 0:30:39The Beano. Richard?
0:30:39 > 0:30:42We'll give you five clues now to facts about The Beano comic.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45- Can you give us the most obscure answer? Good luck.- Thanks very much.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47Let's reveal our five clues. Here they are.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06I'll read those one last time.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21There we are. Five clues to facts about The Beano.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23Janet and Alex go first.
0:31:26 > 0:31:30We're going to go for the Scottish city. And it's Dundee.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32Dundee, say Janet and Alex. Dundee.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35Now, Lee and Simon. Talk us through the rest of the board.
0:31:35 > 0:31:40- Shall we go with Dandy? - Yeah, we'll go with that. - We'll go with Dandy.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42The companion comic, The Dandy.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44So we have Dundee from Janet and Alex.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46Let's see how many people said Dundee. Is it right?
0:31:48 > 0:31:50Yep, it's right.
0:31:58 > 0:32:0321. Lee and Simon are saying the companion comic starring Desperate Dan was The Dandy.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said that.
0:32:08 > 0:32:09It's right.
0:32:11 > 0:32:1461 for The Dandy.
0:32:14 > 0:32:18Well done, Janet and Alex. You're back in the game. After two questions, it's one-all.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21Dundee and Dandy. That's very pleasing, isn't it?
0:32:21 > 0:32:25Two nice answers. There are two answers that would have beaten Dundee, but both really hard.
0:32:25 > 0:32:27If anyone got the top one, very well done.
0:32:27 > 0:32:31The first ever cover star was Big Eggo. That scored one point.
0:32:31 > 0:32:36And even harder than that, the year in which the first full colour issue was printed.
0:32:36 > 0:32:40What would you reckon if you had to guess? I'll say now it's a pointless answer.
0:32:40 > 0:32:47It's going to be in the '90s. Ninety... Ninety-six.
0:32:47 > 0:32:51'96. If you were forced to have a guess, what do you reckon, everyone?
0:32:51 > 0:32:53Earlier than that. Probably about '88.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56I'd say about '85.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58Xander's closest, funnily enough. If you're guessing at home,
0:32:58 > 0:33:01somebody must have got it, 1993.
0:33:01 > 0:33:051993. Very well done if you said it.
0:33:05 > 0:33:08And I think everyone knew the other one.
0:33:08 > 0:33:10It's a big scorer. It's Dennis the Menace.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12That would have scored 80 points.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15It comes from an old music hall song. Dennis the menace from Venice.
0:33:15 > 0:33:19- From Venice? Well, they kept that quiet!- Didn't they, though?
0:33:19 > 0:33:20Thanks very much indeed.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22So, here comes your third question.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25Whoever wins this goes through to the final. Best of luck.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27It concerns...
0:33:30 > 0:33:33NBA basketball teams. Richard?
0:33:33 > 0:33:35We'll show you the names of five NBA basketball teams
0:33:35 > 0:33:37playing in the 2012/2013 season.
0:33:37 > 0:33:41We'll just give you their nicknames, though. We've missed out their locations.
0:33:41 > 0:33:45Can you fill in those gaps. The team with the most obscure answer plays for the jackpot.
0:33:45 > 0:33:49Thanks very much. Let's reveal our NBA basketball teams. Here they are.
0:33:54 > 0:33:55I'll read those one last time.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03There we are. Five NBA basketball teams.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05Lee and Simon, you go first.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08Whoever gets the most obscure answer is playing for our jackpot.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14OK. We'll go for number two.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16I think that's Philadelphia.
0:34:16 > 0:34:20The Philadelphia 76ers, say Lee and Simon.
0:34:20 > 0:34:22The Philadelphia 76ers.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24Janet and Alex, take us through the board, if you can.
0:34:24 > 0:34:28I'm afraid we don't know the others, so we'll say the Chicago Bulls.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31The Chicago Bulls say Janet and Alex.
0:34:31 > 0:34:35So we have the Philadelphia 76ers versus the Chicago Bulls.
0:34:35 > 0:34:40Let's see if Lee and Simon are right with Philadelphia, and how many of our 100 people said Philadelphia.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44It's right.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52Ooh, great answer! Six. Very well done, Lee and Simon.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58Janet and Alex have said the Chicago Bulls.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01Is that right? How many people said Chicago?
0:35:02 > 0:35:04It's right.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06But is it going to beat six?
0:35:06 > 0:35:09No, it's not, I'm afraid. 47.
0:35:12 > 0:35:16Which means, Lee and Simon, after three questions you are through to the final two-one.
0:35:16 > 0:35:20- Well done.- The 76ers was the best answer on the board, as well.
0:35:20 > 0:35:24Named after the year in which the Declaration of Independence was signed.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26The top one is the New York Knicks.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29That would have scored 40.
0:35:29 > 0:35:32The Boston Celtics would have scored you 23.
0:35:32 > 0:35:35And this is a good answer as well. Well done if you said Washington Wizards.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38That would have scored eight points.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41- Well done if you got all of those. - Thanks very much, Richard.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44So I'm afraid at the end of our head-to-head,
0:35:44 > 0:35:48the losing pair leaving us this time for good is Janet and Alex.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50You played very well indeed, there.
0:35:50 > 0:35:53It was tough, the stills of Booker Prize-winning.
0:35:53 > 0:35:58- Did you know any of those other ones?- Schindler's List, as soon as you said it.
0:35:58 > 0:35:59Yeah, I know. It's tough.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01But we have to say goodbye to you.
0:36:01 > 0:36:05We've loved having you on the show. Thanks so much for playing. Janet and Alex.
0:36:08 > 0:36:11But for Lee and Simon, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18Congratulations, Lee and Simon. You've seen off the competition
0:36:18 > 0:36:21and won our coveted Pointless trophy. Well done!
0:36:26 > 0:36:29You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:36:29 > 0:36:32At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £2,000.
0:36:36 > 0:36:41Well, it's been a pretty unblemished performance from you today. Really good.
0:36:41 > 0:36:4476ers was brilliant. Philadelphia 76ers was a fantastic answer.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47What would you like to see come up in this last round?
0:36:47 > 0:36:50Anything music-related. Sport-related.
0:36:50 > 0:36:53- We're quite strong on. - TV comedy, maybe.
0:36:53 > 0:36:55- Sitcoms or something.- OK.
0:36:55 > 0:36:59Very best of luck. You have to start this round by choosing a category.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01You have four choices. Here they are.
0:37:09 > 0:37:13No-brainer for me. Euro 2012.
0:37:13 > 0:37:16- Has to be, yeah. Yeah. Up for that? - Yeah, yeah.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19OK. No hesitation there. Euro 2012.
0:37:19 > 0:37:20Euro 2012 it is.
0:37:20 > 0:37:24OK. You can choose any of your answers from any of these three questions.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27We're looking for any player who made an on-field appearance for Spain
0:37:27 > 0:37:29during the tournament.
0:37:29 > 0:37:33Or anybody who scored against England, including penalty shoot-outs.
0:37:33 > 0:37:37Or any city in which matches were played.
0:37:37 > 0:37:40So any player who appeared for Spain, any player who scored against England
0:37:40 > 0:37:45and any city in which a match was played. Best of luck. And good luck at home as well.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48OK. As always, you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:48 > 0:37:51To win that jackpot of £2,000,
0:37:51 > 0:37:53just one of those answers has to be pointless.
0:37:53 > 0:37:55The answers you give can come from any of these categories.
0:37:55 > 0:37:59All three from one category, two from one, one from another.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01- It's up to you. Are you ready? - Yeah.- Yeah.
0:38:01 > 0:38:05OK. Let's put 60 seconds on the clock. Your time starts now.
0:38:05 > 0:38:07OK. Who did England play against?
0:38:07 > 0:38:10I'm struggling with players who scored against England.
0:38:10 > 0:38:14- What teams were they? - Ooh, my mind's gone blank.
0:38:14 > 0:38:18- OK.- Cities. One was called Lviv, wasn't it?
0:38:18 > 0:38:19Was it Lviv?
0:38:19 > 0:38:22- Players which appeared for Spain. Jordi Alba.- Jordi Alba. Pedro?
0:38:22 > 0:38:25Yeah. Can you think of any that came on as a sub?
0:38:25 > 0:38:27Torres did, but that would be too high.
0:38:27 > 0:38:30Yeah. Where are the countries?
0:38:30 > 0:38:33There was Ukraine and Poland, wasn't it?
0:38:33 > 0:38:35- OK, yeah.- So...
0:38:35 > 0:38:37- Warsaw. I'm not sure about... - Gdansk.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44Ukraine City. Katawese?
0:38:44 > 0:38:46Katawese, yeah.
0:38:46 > 0:38:48Um, Spanish players.
0:38:48 > 0:38:51- Spanish players. - Who scored against England.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54- My mind's gone blank as to who they played.- Can't think who they played.
0:38:54 > 0:38:56- They played Ukraine. - Ten seconds left.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59- They played Ukraine. Sweden. - Who did we go out to?
0:38:59 > 0:39:02- We played Sweden. I'm sure we played Sweden.- OK.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04We might be best to avoid that one.
0:39:04 > 0:39:06Two Spanish players and a city.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09That's time up. I now need your three answers. What are you going to give me?
0:39:09 > 0:39:12So we'll go cities it was played.
0:39:12 > 0:39:13- Lviv.- Lviv.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16I will go Gdansk.
0:39:16 > 0:39:20- Gdansk. - And Pedro who played for Spain.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22And Pedro playing on-field for Spain.
0:39:22 > 0:39:23- Yeah.- OK.
0:39:23 > 0:39:27Of those three answers, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:39:27 > 0:39:30- Maybe Pedro.- OK.- I'm not sure, to be honest.
0:39:30 > 0:39:34We'll put Pedro last. And which is your least likely to be pointless?
0:39:34 > 0:39:36- Lviv.- OK. Lviv we'll put first.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39Let's put those up on the board in that order. Here they are.
0:39:39 > 0:39:40We have got...
0:39:44 > 0:39:46Very best of luck.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48Your first answer was Lviv.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51If this is correct and it is pointless,
0:39:51 > 0:39:52you will win that jackpot of £2,000.
0:39:52 > 0:39:55What would you do with your share of the jackpot, Lee?
0:39:55 > 0:39:59Some form of travel. I like to watch French football as well.
0:39:59 > 0:40:02St Etienne. I like to go to the Lyon Derby every year.
0:40:02 > 0:40:06We're looking at away games, so I'd like to watch them in Nice, somewhere like that.
0:40:06 > 0:40:08Very nice indeed. Simon, how about you?
0:40:08 > 0:40:11I'm hoping to go to a big summer music festival,
0:40:11 > 0:40:16- so maybe to do a European music festival in the summer would be great, for sure.- OK.
0:40:16 > 0:40:20Very best of luck. Three good answers up on the board.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23Let's find out. Lviv, your first answer.
0:40:23 > 0:40:26It has to be correct and it has to be pointless to win that jackpot.
0:40:26 > 0:40:30So for £2,000, was Lviv a host city in Euro 2012?
0:40:33 > 0:40:35It was.
0:40:35 > 0:40:37It's a correct answer.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40Now, this one you thought of quite early on in your minute.
0:40:40 > 0:40:44It's taking us down through the teens into single figures.
0:40:44 > 0:40:46If this goes down to zero, you leave here... Yes!
0:40:46 > 0:40:48You have done it!
0:40:50 > 0:40:55Very well done, indeed. Very well done! Congratulations! Two grand!
0:41:00 > 0:41:03Congratulations! Lviv was a pointless answer,
0:41:03 > 0:41:06which means you go home with our jackpot of £2,000.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08That's fantastic!
0:41:13 > 0:41:16- You weren't quite sure about Lviv, were you?- I wasn't sure.
0:41:16 > 0:41:20I was helped by the names of the cities on the advertising boards.
0:41:20 > 0:41:23It's in there somewhere!
0:41:23 > 0:41:25Well, that was all it needed to be. Richard?
0:41:25 > 0:41:28That's the perfect way to win Pointless,
0:41:28 > 0:41:30those things that are somewhere in your head.
0:41:30 > 0:41:32You've done terrifically well for two shows now.
0:41:32 > 0:41:34The only thing we caught you out on was fashion!
0:41:34 > 0:41:38- Not surprisingly!- Lviv is in the Ukraine. It used to be in Poland,
0:41:38 > 0:41:41but it's now in Ukraine. Germany, Denmark and Portugal all played there.
0:41:41 > 0:41:43Now, Gdansk, if we'd gone on to that,
0:41:43 > 0:41:47- it was a correct answer, but would have scored one point.- Ooh!
0:41:47 > 0:41:49And Pedro, if we'd gone on to that,
0:41:49 > 0:41:51is another pointless answer!
0:41:54 > 0:41:56Very well done.
0:41:59 > 0:42:02Very nice category. I'm sure it's nice for people at home as well,
0:42:02 > 0:42:04so let's take a look at some more pointless answers.
0:42:08 > 0:42:10Juan Mata, plays for Chelsea, a pointless answer.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12Santi Cazorla, the Arsenal player, pointless.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14Sergio Busquets of Barcelona.
0:42:14 > 0:42:18You could have also had Arbeloa, Negredo and Jesus Navas.
0:42:18 > 0:42:20They were pointless. And Pedro, Pedro Rodriguez.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23Let's look at players who scored against England.
0:42:23 > 0:42:26These first two were in the penalty shoot-out with Italy.
0:42:29 > 0:42:34Olof Mellberg scored for Sweden. All pointless. Well done if you said any of those.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36And the other cities. There are only four.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38Lviv was a terrific answer.
0:42:41 > 0:42:43All pointless answers.
0:42:43 > 0:42:45Very well done if you got any of those at home
0:42:45 > 0:42:47and congratulations in the studio. Great performance.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49Thanks very much, Richard.
0:42:49 > 0:42:51Thanks, again to our winning players, Lee and Simon,
0:42:51 > 0:42:54who go away with today's jackpot of £2,000!
0:42:58 > 0:43:01Join us next time when we'll put more obscure knowledge to the test.
0:43:01 > 0:43:03- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:03 > 0:43:05And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
