0:00:16 > 0:00:19APPLAUSE

0:00:22 > 0:00:25Thank you very much. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong, and welcome to Pointless,

0:00:25 > 0:00:28the quiz where the lowest scorers are the biggest winners.

0:00:28 > 0:00:31- Let's meet today's players. - APPLAUSE

0:00:33 > 0:00:35And couple number one...

0:00:35 > 0:00:39I'm Steve, this is my wife Danni and we're from Colchester in Essex.

0:00:39 > 0:00:41- Couple number two... - Hi, my name's Caz,

0:00:41 > 0:00:43this is my mum Sue and we're from South Buckinghamshire.

0:00:43 > 0:00:45Couple number three...

0:00:45 > 0:00:48I'm Paul, this is my father Andrew and we're from London and Reading.

0:00:48 > 0:00:51- And couple number four... - Hi, I'm Andy from Solihull

0:00:51 > 0:00:53and this is my good friend Cliff from Coventry.

0:00:53 > 0:00:56- These are today's contestants. - APPLAUSE

0:00:58 > 0:01:01Thanks, all of you. We'll find out more about you throughout the show.

0:01:01 > 0:01:04That just leaves one more person for me to introduce -

0:01:04 > 0:01:08full of nous, gumption and other words which our young viewers have no chance of understanding -

0:01:08 > 0:01:10it's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.

0:01:10 > 0:01:13Hiya! Hi, everyone. APPLAUSE

0:01:14 > 0:01:18- Afternoon. How are you? - Very well, thank you. How are you?

0:01:18 > 0:01:22- You look well. - T-Thank you! T-That's...

0:01:22 > 0:01:24Have you been working out? LAUGHTER

0:01:24 > 0:01:27Come on, Richard! You know I haven't.

0:01:27 > 0:01:31We should have a good show today. We've only got one returning pair, that's Andrew and Paul.

0:01:31 > 0:01:34- We didn't see very much of Andrew and Paul.- No.

0:01:34 > 0:01:37Andrew identified Ian Wright as a cast member of Chicago

0:01:37 > 0:01:40and it slightly went downhill from there.

0:01:40 > 0:01:43It's almost impossible for it to go worse, is the good news.

0:01:43 > 0:01:45Hopefully, we'll see a little bit more of them today.

0:01:45 > 0:01:49- Nice to have a mother-and-daughter and a father-and-son team. - Very nice indeed.

0:01:49 > 0:01:51There's something we can test out there.

0:01:51 > 0:01:54Question one today, absolute solid gold

0:01:54 > 0:01:57- old-school Pointless.- Good.

0:01:57 > 0:02:01Thanks very much, Richard. All our question have been put to 100 people.

0:02:01 > 0:02:05Our contestants need to find the obscure answers those 100 people didn't get.

0:02:05 > 0:02:09Everyone's trying to find an answer that none of our 100 people gave.

0:02:09 > 0:02:12Each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.

0:02:12 > 0:02:16Steve and Ian didn't win the jackpot last time, so we add another £1,000 to that.

0:02:16 > 0:02:20So today's jackpot starts off at £2,250.

0:02:20 > 0:02:22APPLAUSE

0:02:23 > 0:02:27OK, 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 is to be no conferring.

0:02:35 > 0:02:39Whichever pair has the highest score will be heading home.

0:02:39 > 0:02:41Our first category today is...

0:02:43 > 0:02:45Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first?

0:02:45 > 0:02:48Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:02:50 > 0:02:52Let's find out what the question is.

0:02:52 > 0:02:56We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...

0:02:59 > 0:03:01..as they could.

0:03:01 > 0:03:04Capital cities that start with the letters of CAPITAL. Richard.

0:03:04 > 0:03:07We want any capital city that begins with one of those letters.

0:03:07 > 0:03:12It has to be a capital of a country that is a sovereign state that is a member of the UN in its own right.

0:03:12 > 0:03:16We're looking for any capital of any of those countries, please.

0:03:16 > 0:03:19There are loads and loads of pointless answers here,

0:03:19 > 0:03:22so get thinking at home because there's money to be won.

0:03:22 > 0:03:27Thanks very much indeed, Richard. Steve and Danni, you all drew lots and you're going first.

0:03:27 > 0:03:29- Danni, welcome to Pointless. - Thank you.- Great to have you.

0:03:29 > 0:03:31What do you do, Danni?

0:03:31 > 0:03:35I'm a homemaker. I stay at home with my little boy, who's 20 months old.

0:03:35 > 0:03:37- 20 months old!- Yes.

0:03:37 > 0:03:39That's nice. What's he called?

0:03:39 > 0:03:41- Zachary. - Zachary. He'll be watching now.

0:03:41 > 0:03:44- Erm, hopefully, yes!- Good stuff. - Probably eating his dinner.

0:03:44 > 0:03:50- What are your hobbies, Danni? - I DJ on a radio station that does rock music.

0:03:50 > 0:03:53I'm also a bass player and a singer.

0:03:53 > 0:03:56I obviously had to take a stop while I had my little one.

0:03:56 > 0:03:59- I'm guessing a bass player and a singer in a band?- Yes.

0:03:59 > 0:04:02- I was.- You don't want to be a bass player on your own.- Yes.- OK.

0:04:02 > 0:04:05Now then, capital cities, how do we feel about them?

0:04:05 > 0:04:08Erm, I'm not sure!

0:04:08 > 0:04:12I am going to guess...

0:04:12 > 0:04:13..Istanbul.

0:04:13 > 0:04:18Istanbul, says Danni. Istanbul. OK, let's see if that's right and if it is,

0:04:18 > 0:04:21let's see how many of our 100 people said Istanbul.

0:04:22 > 0:04:27No! Bad luck. I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer.

0:04:27 > 0:04:30It scores you the maximum of 100 points.

0:04:30 > 0:04:33Sorry, Danni, it begins with "I" but not a capital city.

0:04:33 > 0:04:38- Thanks, Richard. Now, Sue, welcome to Pointless.- Thank you.

0:04:38 > 0:04:39What do you do, Sue?

0:04:39 > 0:04:44Well, I left work last October. I retired early, obviously.

0:04:44 > 0:04:48I'm going to go back for a little bit to help out with exam invigilation.

0:04:48 > 0:04:52- OK, what was work?- I was a science technician in a school.

0:04:52 > 0:04:57- In a school?- Yes.- So, not actually teaching but running the lab?- Yes.

0:04:57 > 0:05:01- That sounds fun! Which bit of science?- Chemistry.

0:05:01 > 0:05:04I loved chemistry. I've just remembered how much I loved it.

0:05:04 > 0:05:06- Aww, that's nice.- Yeah!

0:05:06 > 0:05:09You can always do an Open University course in it.

0:05:09 > 0:05:11Do you know, I'm going to do that!

0:05:11 > 0:05:15You only work 45 minutes a day, don't forget. You've got plenty of time on your hands.

0:05:15 > 0:05:17No, I'm doing all the preparation.

0:05:17 > 0:05:19LAUGHTER

0:05:19 > 0:05:21So, Sue, yes, capital cities...

0:05:21 > 0:05:24Erm, I'll go for Lima.

0:05:24 > 0:05:26Lima, says Sue. Let's see if Lima's right

0:05:26 > 0:05:29and how many of our 100 people said it.

0:05:31 > 0:05:33It's right.

0:05:36 > 0:05:40There we are. 20 for Lima. Well done, Sue.

0:05:40 > 0:05:42- APPLAUSE - Nothing wrong with that.

0:05:44 > 0:05:47Capital of Peru, Lima. It's a very good answer.

0:05:47 > 0:05:49Thanks, Richard. Now, Paul...

0:05:49 > 0:05:52- Paul, it's going to be better today, isn't it?- So much better!

0:05:52 > 0:05:58- What happened last time? - We got a little confused between musical stars and footballers.

0:05:58 > 0:06:01I don't think any footballers are capital cities, so it'll be OK!

0:06:01 > 0:06:05Let's hope, anyway. Yes, it was Round One, is the point.

0:06:05 > 0:06:09We want any capital city that begins with one of the letters of CAPITAL.

0:06:09 > 0:06:11What are you going to go for?

0:06:11 > 0:06:14I'm going to go for what I hope is the capital of Paraguay,

0:06:14 > 0:06:16- Asuncion. - HE PRONOUNCES AS "ASENCION"

0:06:16 > 0:06:21Paul says Asuncion. Let's see if that's right and how many people said Asuncion.

0:06:23 > 0:06:25It's right.

0:06:26 > 0:06:30Well, 20's our best score so far. Asuncion passes that.

0:06:30 > 0:06:32- Oh, look at that! - APPLAUSE

0:06:32 > 0:06:35There we are! That's the way to do it!

0:06:35 > 0:06:38Very well done! A pointless answer! It adds £250 to today's jackpot.

0:06:38 > 0:06:43It takes the total up to £2,500. It scores you nothing

0:06:43 > 0:06:45and, I'd like to think, ensures your place in the next round.

0:06:45 > 0:06:47Yes, slightly borderline.

0:06:47 > 0:06:52It's Asuncion, but Asencion/Asuncion I think is acceptable, certainly in Spanish.

0:06:52 > 0:06:55There is a capital city that's a footballer, that's Seoul Campbell.

0:06:55 > 0:06:58LAUGHTER

0:06:58 > 0:07:02Thanks very much indeed. Cliff, welcome to Pointless. Good to have you here.

0:07:02 > 0:07:03What do you do?

0:07:03 > 0:07:08I work with people with learning disabilities and autism.

0:07:08 > 0:07:11- Right you are. And where are you from, Cliff?- Coventry.

0:07:11 > 0:07:14Now, one's Coventry and the other one's Solihull.

0:07:14 > 0:07:18- Are they quite close together, Coventry and Solihull?- Yes.

0:07:18 > 0:07:20- Almost the same.- Yes.- OK.

0:07:20 > 0:07:23One decided to call it Coventry and the other one's gone Solihull.

0:07:23 > 0:07:25Which is the posher?

0:07:25 > 0:07:27- Solihull.- Solihull.- "Soulihull".

0:07:27 > 0:07:30"Soulihull"! I'm not even saying it right!

0:07:30 > 0:07:35- And what are your hobbies, Cliff? - I like to cook, play golf,

0:07:35 > 0:07:39I like to watch rugby. I'm quite sporty.

0:07:39 > 0:07:41OK. Travel, maybe?

0:07:41 > 0:07:45- Yeah, travel. - Travelling to capital cities?- A few.

0:07:45 > 0:07:48- OK.- Yeah, a few. I'm going to go with Cairo.

0:07:48 > 0:07:49Cairo.

0:07:49 > 0:07:52Cairo, says Cliff. Let's see if that's right

0:07:52 > 0:07:55and how many of our 100 people said Cairo.

0:08:01 > 0:08:03- 27. - APPLAUSE

0:08:06 > 0:08:10- 27 for Cairo. - The capital of Egypt, of course.

0:08:10 > 0:08:14On some calculations, the largest city in Africa, but not on others.

0:08:14 > 0:08:17OK. Thanks, Richard. Let's take a look at those scores.

0:08:17 > 0:08:210 was our best score in that pass. Paul, well done.

0:08:21 > 0:08:24We travel up from there to 20, where we find Sue and Caz.

0:08:24 > 0:08:26Then up to 27, where we find Cliff and Andy.

0:08:26 > 0:08:29Then up to 100, I'm afraid, where we find Danni and Steve.

0:08:29 > 0:08:32- Steve, how are your capital cities? - We'll see!

0:08:32 > 0:08:36You've got a little bit of time to come up with a really good answer.

0:08:36 > 0:08:40We have to hope it's really good and enough to keep you in the round.

0:08:40 > 0:08:44We'll come back down the line now. Can the second players please step up to the podium?

0:08:45 > 0:08:49OK, Andy, welcome to the show.

0:08:49 > 0:08:52- What do you do, Andy?- I work in IT.

0:08:52 > 0:08:55What do you get up to when you're not working in IT?

0:08:55 > 0:08:58I do a lot with music. I go to lots of concerts and gigs.

0:08:58 > 0:09:00What are your favourite bands?

0:09:00 > 0:09:02What's the last great gig you went to?

0:09:02 > 0:09:07Last year, I managed one of my lifetime achievements of seeing The Stone Roses live,

0:09:07 > 0:09:09at Heaton Park and then at V Festival.

0:09:09 > 0:09:11You saw them twice. Good work!

0:09:11 > 0:09:15You're on 27. The high scorers are Steve and Danni on 100.

0:09:15 > 0:09:17If you can score 72 or less,

0:09:17 > 0:09:19you're in the next round.

0:09:19 > 0:09:21OK.

0:09:21 > 0:09:24I think I'm right, I've been there and I think it's right,

0:09:24 > 0:09:28the capital of the United Arab Emirates is Abu Dhabi.

0:09:28 > 0:09:30Abu Dhabi, says Andy.

0:09:30 > 0:09:34Here comes your red line. Get below that and you stay with us.

0:09:34 > 0:09:37Let's see if Abu Dhabi's right and let's see how many said it.

0:09:40 > 0:09:42It's right.

0:09:46 > 0:09:50Oh, very well done indeed, Andy! Another pointless answer!

0:09:50 > 0:09:52It adds another £250 to today's jackpot.

0:09:52 > 0:09:55It takes the total to £2,750.

0:09:55 > 0:09:59It scores you nothing. It leaves your total at 27. Very well done indeed.

0:09:59 > 0:10:04Brilliant play, Andy. I told you there were some pointless answers! We've had two already.

0:10:04 > 0:10:08Abu Dhabi means "Father of the Deer", but no-one knows why it's called that.

0:10:08 > 0:10:11- It's lost in the mists of time. - Thank you very much.

0:10:11 > 0:10:13Now, Andrew,

0:10:13 > 0:10:17- how well did Paul do then? - Very well!

0:10:17 > 0:10:20- You're going to have to equal that, I think.- Yes.

0:10:20 > 0:10:24- Yes... Do you think you can? - I hope so.

0:10:24 > 0:10:28- I hope so, too. Remind us what you do, Andrew.- I'm a piano teacher.

0:10:28 > 0:10:31Does a piano teacher... Do you also play the piano?

0:10:31 > 0:10:35- Are you a performer, as well, in any sense?- No, not really.

0:10:35 > 0:10:37It's a lot easier to teach.

0:10:37 > 0:10:40It's like football managers, like Arsene Wenger and Ferguson,

0:10:40 > 0:10:43it's a lot easier to teach than to do it yourself.

0:10:43 > 0:10:46You are on 0, the high scorers are Steve and Danni on 100,

0:10:46 > 0:10:49so 99 or less keeps you in the game.

0:10:49 > 0:10:54I think, though, nothing less than a pointless answer will do here.

0:10:55 > 0:10:59Right. Well, I think the capital of Jordan is Amman.

0:10:59 > 0:11:02Amman, says Andrew. Amman.

0:11:02 > 0:11:05Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.

0:11:05 > 0:11:09Your red line is lovely and high. Let's see if Amman gets you through.

0:11:10 > 0:11:13It does, of course.

0:11:15 > 0:11:18Abu Dhabi was a pointless answer. Is Amman, as well?

0:11:18 > 0:11:21- 2 for Amman! - APPLAUSE

0:11:21 > 0:11:23It's a good answer.

0:11:23 > 0:11:27It doesn't beat Paul's, though. Or equal Paul's. 2 is your total.

0:11:27 > 0:11:32- Great attempt, Andrew, well done. So much nicer than last time, isn't it? - Oh, you bet!

0:11:32 > 0:11:37One of the oldest-settled places in the world - Jordan.

0:11:37 > 0:11:42They found remains from 4000 BC in Jordan.

0:11:42 > 0:11:43The place.

0:11:43 > 0:11:45LAUGHTER

0:11:45 > 0:11:49I could see what... I could see what you were thinking!

0:11:52 > 0:11:55Thank you very much, Richard!

0:11:55 > 0:11:57Yeah, good! Ahem!

0:11:57 > 0:12:00Caz, welcome to Pointless. What do you do?

0:12:00 > 0:12:02I'm a speech and language therapist.

0:12:02 > 0:12:07- Who do you work with?- I want to specialise in stroke patients.

0:12:07 > 0:12:10- Right.- I got a job two weeks ago so I haven't started yet.

0:12:10 > 0:12:13I would imagine that must be such a satisfying thing to do.

0:12:13 > 0:12:15- Really rewarding. I love it. - Good stuff.

0:12:15 > 0:12:17And in your spare time, Caz?

0:12:17 > 0:12:21- I like to travel, so this is quite a good round for me.- Good.

0:12:21 > 0:12:24And I like photography, as well, so...

0:12:24 > 0:12:26Good. Right. Well, there we are.

0:12:26 > 0:12:28Have you got any capital cities from the word CAPITAL?

0:12:28 > 0:12:32I do. There's one that I've been to, which I know is right,

0:12:32 > 0:12:36but I want to risk one, which I'm not sure how happy my mum will be about that

0:12:36 > 0:12:38but I want to try and get a pointless one.

0:12:38 > 0:12:41I think the capital of Samoa

0:12:41 > 0:12:43- is Apia. - SHE PRONOUNCES AS "AYPIA"

0:12:43 > 0:12:45Apia, says Caz.

0:12:45 > 0:12:48Let's see if Apia is right. Big punt you're taking there.

0:12:48 > 0:12:50There is your red line. It's not too far away.

0:12:50 > 0:12:54If you get below that, you're through. It just has to be right.

0:12:54 > 0:12:56How many people said Apia, if it is right?

0:12:58 > 0:12:59It is right!

0:12:59 > 0:13:02And you are through!

0:13:04 > 0:13:05Down it goes.

0:13:05 > 0:13:08- Very well done indeed, Caz! - APPLAUSE

0:13:08 > 0:13:10Apia is a pointless answer.

0:13:10 > 0:13:13- It adds another £250 to today's jackpot.- Yay!

0:13:13 > 0:13:15It takes the total up to £3,000

0:13:15 > 0:13:20and it leaves your total at 20. Very well done indeed.

0:13:20 > 0:13:22Wow. Well played, Caz. You're right, the capital of Samoa.

0:13:22 > 0:13:27"Appia" some people would pronounce it, but, er, I'm Apia either way!

0:13:27 > 0:13:28LAUGHTER No, you can't be Apia!

0:13:28 > 0:13:32I know there's an Apia pun in there somewhere, but I missed it.

0:13:32 > 0:13:34- Steve...- Hi.

0:13:34 > 0:13:37Steve, listen, I've got bad news.

0:13:37 > 0:13:41You're the high scorers and I'm afraid you haven't yet given your answer,

0:13:41 > 0:13:44so even if you have a brilliant pointless answer,

0:13:44 > 0:13:46which I think you might have,

0:13:46 > 0:13:49- it's not going to help you. - It's for pride now.

0:13:49 > 0:13:52- Have you got a good answer? - I think so.

0:13:52 > 0:13:55I think I've got the answer which Danni meant to say.

0:13:55 > 0:13:59I think. Which is probably going to cause an argument in the car.

0:13:59 > 0:14:02- LAUGHTER - Love you!

0:14:02 > 0:14:04I'm going to say the capital of Turkey - Ankara.

0:14:04 > 0:14:09Ankara, says Steve. Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.

0:14:09 > 0:14:12No red line for you as you're the high scorers.

0:14:15 > 0:14:16It's right.

0:14:20 > 0:14:23- 12 for Ankara. - APPLAUSE

0:14:24 > 0:14:28- It takes your total up to 112. - APPLAUSE

0:14:28 > 0:14:30That's a nice way to finish the round, Steve.

0:14:30 > 0:14:34Replaced Istanbul as Turkey's capital in 1923, Ankara.

0:14:34 > 0:14:39There's loads of pointless answers. Let's take a look at a few of them.

0:14:39 > 0:14:43Abu Dhabi, capital of the UAE. Abuja, which is the capital of Nigeria.

0:14:43 > 0:14:46Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

0:14:47 > 0:14:50There's Apia, or Ap-eye-a.

0:14:50 > 0:14:55Astana, which is Kazakhstan. Paramaribo, which is Suriname. Well done if you said any of these.

0:14:55 > 0:14:57Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago.

0:14:57 > 0:15:00Tashkent is Uzbekistan. Tbilisi is Georgia.

0:15:00 > 0:15:03You could've had Antananarivo, Ashgabat,

0:15:03 > 0:15:07you could've had Castries, Chisinau,

0:15:07 > 0:15:09you could've had La Paz, Lilongwe,

0:15:09 > 0:15:14Luanda, Lusaka, Podgorica, you could've had Port Louis, Port Moresby,

0:15:14 > 0:15:17Tegucigalpa, the capital of Honduras.

0:15:17 > 0:15:19You could've had Thimphu, or Tirana, the capital of Albania.

0:15:19 > 0:15:22All of those were pointless answers. Well done if you said any of those.

0:15:22 > 0:15:27Let's take a look at the ones that most of our 100 people said.

0:15:27 > 0:15:30Copenhagen would've scored you 43.

0:15:30 > 0:15:34You'd have got 73 for London. What do you think's beaten London?

0:15:34 > 0:15:37- Paris? I don't know.- It is.

0:15:37 > 0:15:40Very well done. Paris there on 77.

0:15:40 > 0:15:43Thanks very much, Richard. I'm afraid it's Steve and Danni we have to say goodbye to.

0:15:43 > 0:15:47It's been great having you on, for albeit a very short time.

0:15:47 > 0:15:52We'll look forward to seeing you again next time. Thanks very much. Steve and Danni...

0:15:54 > 0:15:58But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.

0:16:02 > 0:16:06Obviously, at the end of this round, we'll be saying goodbye to another pair,

0:16:06 > 0:16:08but for now, I think it's going to be extremely evenly-matched.

0:16:08 > 0:16:13You all have two things in common - you are all in Round Two for the first time

0:16:13 > 0:16:18and you all scored a pointless answer, so very well done indeed. Very exciting.

0:16:18 > 0:16:20Our category for Round Two is...

0:16:22 > 0:16:24Movie Music.

0:16:24 > 0:16:27Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first?

0:16:27 > 0:16:30Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:16:31 > 0:16:34OK, and the question concerns...

0:16:34 > 0:16:37Singles From Soundtracks.

0:16:37 > 0:16:43- Richard.- On each pass, we're going to show you six UK Top 40 singles featured on film soundtracks.

0:16:43 > 0:16:47Tell us the name of the film they appeared on, in the year we're going to show you.

0:16:47 > 0:16:49There's 12 in all to have a go at.

0:16:49 > 0:16:53We want the name of the movies in which these songs famously appeared.

0:16:53 > 0:16:56Here's our first board of six...

0:17:16 > 0:17:17I'll read those all one last time.

0:17:34 > 0:17:38There we are, six singles from films.

0:17:39 > 0:17:40Caz...

0:17:40 > 0:17:43Yep. I think I know all of them.

0:17:43 > 0:17:48- Good work.- I'm just trying to work out which is the least likely.

0:17:48 > 0:17:52One of them, I'm not so sure on, but I think I'm going to gamble.

0:17:52 > 0:17:54Sorry!

0:17:54 > 0:17:58I'm going to go with I Believe I Can Fly - Space Jam.

0:17:58 > 0:18:01Space Jam, says Caz. Space Jam for I Believe I Can Fly.

0:18:01 > 0:18:05Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many people said Space Jam.

0:18:05 > 0:18:09It's another good gamble from Caz.

0:18:13 > 0:18:14Very well done indeed!

0:18:14 > 0:18:18- 2, Caz. - APPLAUSE

0:18:18 > 0:18:19Good work.

0:18:20 > 0:18:22Very well played, Caz. Great start.

0:18:22 > 0:18:26- Your mum's face when you said you knew all of them was lovely.- Was it?

0:18:26 > 0:18:28- She went...!- Really?

0:18:28 > 0:18:32R Kelly, ironically, used to have a terrible fear of flying.

0:18:32 > 0:18:35When he came to tour Europe, he used to come by boat.

0:18:35 > 0:18:38- Now, Paul... Paul.- Yes.

0:18:38 > 0:18:41There is that board. There are five left on it.

0:18:41 > 0:18:45What are the names of the films that these songs come from?

0:18:45 > 0:18:48I think I was going to go for Space Jam,

0:18:48 > 0:18:50but I'm thinking which one next.

0:18:50 > 0:18:55I can have a shot at most of them, so I'm trying to work out whether to gamble.

0:18:55 > 0:18:59I think I will a little bit. I'm going to go for Mad World and Donnie Darko.

0:18:59 > 0:19:02Donnie Darko, says Paul, for Mad World.

0:19:02 > 0:19:05Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 said it.

0:19:06 > 0:19:08It's right.

0:19:13 > 0:19:15- 8 for Donnie Darko. - APPLAUSE

0:19:15 > 0:19:17Very well done indeed, Paul.

0:19:19 > 0:19:23Well played, Paul. Our run of very, very good shows is continuing. Some great answers coming up.

0:19:23 > 0:19:28It's a cover of the Tears For Fears song. It was Christmas number one.

0:19:28 > 0:19:31Thanks. Now, Cliff, you are the last person to have this board.

0:19:31 > 0:19:34Can you talk us through the remaining blanks?

0:19:34 > 0:19:39I know three of the four. Don't Cry For Me Argentina is Evita.

0:19:39 > 0:19:43Erm... I Will Always Love You is from The Bodyguard.

0:19:43 > 0:19:46My Heart Will Go On - Titanic.

0:19:46 > 0:19:48I'm not sure about Aerosmith.

0:19:48 > 0:19:51I think they're all going to score quite high.

0:19:51 > 0:19:54I think I'll go for...

0:19:54 > 0:19:56I'm going to go for Don't Cry For Me Argentina - Evita.

0:19:56 > 0:19:59Evita, says Cliff. Let's see if that's right and if it is,

0:19:59 > 0:20:02let's see how many of our 100 people said Evita.

0:20:02 > 0:20:05It's right.

0:20:05 > 0:20:072's our low score...

0:20:07 > 0:20:10- Look at that - 62! - APPLAUSE

0:20:12 > 0:20:1462 for Evita.

0:20:14 > 0:20:16It's actually the best score of the three you knew,

0:20:16 > 0:20:19because if you'd said Titanic for My Heart Will Go On,

0:20:19 > 0:20:21that would've scored you 71.

0:20:21 > 0:20:24If you'd said I Will Always Love You - The Bodyguard,

0:20:24 > 0:20:26you'd have scored 82 points!

0:20:26 > 0:20:30The best answer left was the Aerosmith one.

0:20:30 > 0:20:33That was from Armageddon and that would've scored you 17.

0:20:33 > 0:20:37But podium one and two picked off the two best answers there.

0:20:37 > 0:20:39Thanks very much indeed, Richard.

0:20:39 > 0:20:40Let's take a look at those scores.

0:20:40 > 0:20:43Caz, very well done. 2. Great answer.

0:20:43 > 0:20:46- Sue, wasn't that brilliant? - I'm very worried!

0:20:46 > 0:20:50Two brilliant gambles from Caz. She's taken a little bit of pressure off you.

0:20:50 > 0:20:54Then up to 8, where we find Paul and Andrew. Well done, Paul.

0:20:54 > 0:20:58Then up to 62, Cliff and Andy. Andy, you'll get first pick of the next board.

0:20:58 > 0:21:01Use it wisely. Find a nice low score if you can.

0:21:01 > 0:21:05We'll come back down the line now. Can the second players take their places at the podium?

0:21:06 > 0:21:10Let's put six more songs up on our board. Here they are...

0:21:10 > 0:21:11We have got...

0:21:32 > 0:21:34I'll read those all one final time.

0:21:52 > 0:21:57Remember, we need you to name the movies from which these songs famously came.

0:21:57 > 0:22:00Now then, Andy, you're the high scorers.

0:22:00 > 0:22:03- Is this a good board for you? - Er, no!

0:22:03 > 0:22:06Not at all, really! I'm struggling with that one.

0:22:06 > 0:22:11There's a couple of obvious ones but we need to try and get a low-ish number.

0:22:11 > 0:22:13I'm going to take a guess, it's not very strong,

0:22:13 > 0:22:17but Mrs Robinson, erm, The Graduate.

0:22:17 > 0:22:20The Graduate, says Andy. That's a guess?

0:22:20 > 0:22:23It's somewhere in the back of my mind. I'm not sure.

0:22:23 > 0:22:26OK. The Graduate, says Andy. Let's find out if that's right.

0:22:26 > 0:22:28You're the high scorers so no red line for you.

0:22:30 > 0:22:32It's right.

0:22:33 > 0:22:35- 65. - APPLAUSE

0:22:35 > 0:22:40Another high score there. 127 your total.

0:22:40 > 0:22:44That's another very big score for a famous song from a famous film.

0:22:44 > 0:22:45Thanks very much indeed.

0:22:45 > 0:22:47Now, Andrew...

0:22:47 > 0:22:51Andrew, great news - you're through to the head-to-head.

0:22:51 > 0:22:53How do you feel about this board?

0:22:53 > 0:22:55Well, I knew The Graduate...

0:22:55 > 0:22:58- ..and I knew The Graduate. - LAUGHTER

0:22:58 > 0:23:02So anything else is...

0:23:02 > 0:23:05I just don't get out enough, obviously.

0:23:05 > 0:23:09As it doesn't matter, I wonder whether the bottom one is Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.

0:23:09 > 0:23:13All For Love - Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, says Andrew.

0:23:13 > 0:23:15Paul thinks that's right. Let's see if it is.

0:23:15 > 0:23:18No red line for you because you're already through.

0:23:20 > 0:23:22No.

0:23:22 > 0:23:24Not right, I'm afraid. It scores you the maximum of 100 points.

0:23:24 > 0:23:26It takes your total up to 108.

0:23:26 > 0:23:29Sorry. It's a tough board. It's much tougher than the first one.

0:23:29 > 0:23:32Bryan Adams had a huge hit from Robin Hood

0:23:32 > 0:23:34with (Everything I Do) I Do It For You.

0:23:34 > 0:23:40Thanks, Richard. Now, Sue, again, you are through to the head-to-head.

0:23:40 > 0:23:42- Is that a relief...- Total relief!

0:23:42 > 0:23:46- ..or were you looking forward to your moment in the sun? - No, it's a relief.

0:23:46 > 0:23:49- Do you want to talk us through the board?- No!- OK.

0:23:49 > 0:23:52Well, fortunately, I knew two and only one has gone,

0:23:52 > 0:23:56so I think Lady Marmalade is from...

0:23:56 > 0:23:58- ..Moulin Rouge!. - Moulin Rouge!, says Sue.

0:23:58 > 0:24:01Moulin Rouge! for Lady Marmalade.

0:24:01 > 0:24:05Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.

0:24:05 > 0:24:07It's right.

0:24:12 > 0:24:14- 18. - APPLAUSE

0:24:15 > 0:24:1918 takes your total up to 20, Sue. Very well done.

0:24:19 > 0:24:23- I think Sue and Caz are a force to be reckoned with, do you? - They are. Definitely.

0:24:23 > 0:24:26Let's go through the rest of these. I think this is a tougher board.

0:24:26 > 0:24:32I've Had The Time Of My Life came from the soundtrack that sold 48 million copies worldwide

0:24:32 > 0:24:35and that was Dirty Dancing.

0:24:35 > 0:24:37That would've scored you 45.

0:24:37 > 0:24:40Now, let's look at All For Love, Bryan Adams, Rod Stewart and Sting.

0:24:40 > 0:24:42There's sort of a clue in the title.

0:24:42 > 0:24:45- It's The Three Musketeers. - The Three Musketeers, yes.

0:24:45 > 0:24:47Would've scored you 5 points.

0:24:47 > 0:24:51The King Of Wishful Thinking features at the very beginning of...?

0:24:52 > 0:24:56- Pretty Woman.- Pretty Woman! - That would've scored 4.

0:24:56 > 0:24:58And this next one is a pointless answer.

0:24:58 > 0:25:01Tainted Love - Marilyn Manson was on the soundtrack of

0:25:01 > 0:25:04Not Another Teen Movie.

0:25:04 > 0:25:06- Very well done if you said that at home.- Thanks, Richard.

0:25:06 > 0:25:08At the end of our second round,

0:25:08 > 0:25:12I'm afraid it's Andy and Cliff who'll be leaving us, with their high score of 127.

0:25:12 > 0:25:17Nothing wrong with your answers, they were just very high scores, that was the problem.

0:25:17 > 0:25:21Cliff, it was unfortunate for you because the nice low scores had gone

0:25:21 > 0:25:26so it was a matter of finding the lesser of three evils, really.

0:25:26 > 0:25:28Andy, The Graduate was quite a high score.

0:25:28 > 0:25:31But that second board, as Richard said, was harder.

0:25:31 > 0:25:35We'll see you next time. You scored a pointless answer, so you leave with your heads held high.

0:25:35 > 0:25:38It all bodes well for your next appearance.

0:25:38 > 0:25:41- Andy and Cliff, thanks for playing. - APPLAUSE

0:25:43 > 0:25:47But for the remaining two pairs, it's time for the head-to-head.

0:25:51 > 0:25:54Congratulations, Sue and Caz, Andrew and Paul.

0:25:54 > 0:25:57You're now one step closer to a chance to play for our jackpot,

0:25:57 > 0:26:01- which now stands at £3,000. - APPLAUSE

0:26:03 > 0:26:07To decide who's going to play for that money, you're going to go head-to-head.

0:26:07 > 0:26:12You are now allowed to confer. The first pair to win two questions will be playing for the jackpot.

0:26:12 > 0:26:16Sue and Caz, you've been our lowest scorers in each round.

0:26:16 > 0:26:20Not only that, you've scored 20 in each round,

0:26:20 > 0:26:22so your grouping has been phenomenal.

0:26:22 > 0:26:27That means you get to answer first in the first and third, if it comes to a third, questions.

0:26:27 > 0:26:31It hasn't always been an advantage, actually. In the last few shows

0:26:31 > 0:26:34it's been the blue pair that's gone through to the final.

0:26:34 > 0:26:37- Andrew and Paul, how are you feeling?- Pretty good.

0:26:37 > 0:26:41- You've done well.- I'm psyched. - All memories of leaving last time are banished.

0:26:41 > 0:26:45- I cannot remember what the first round was. - Good. That's how it must remain!

0:26:45 > 0:26:47Let's play the head-to-head!

0:26:51 > 0:26:55OK, here comes your first question. It concerns...

0:26:57 > 0:26:58Shakespeare Productions.

0:26:58 > 0:27:03We're going to show you five pictures taken from productions of Shakespeare plays.

0:27:03 > 0:27:05Can you tell us which play, please?

0:27:05 > 0:27:08OK, let's reveal our five pictures from Shakespeare productions.

0:27:08 > 0:27:09We have got...

0:27:26 > 0:27:30There we are, five pictures from Shakespeare productions.

0:27:30 > 0:27:35Sue and Caz, you've played best throughout the show, so you get to go first.

0:27:37 > 0:27:40THEY WHISPER

0:27:40 > 0:27:43(I think D is, erm,

0:27:43 > 0:27:45Antony and Cleopatra.)

0:27:49 > 0:27:54Right, I think we'll go for D, Antony and Cleopatra.

0:27:54 > 0:27:57OK. Antony and Cleopatra, Sue and Caz are saying for D.

0:27:57 > 0:28:02Now then, Andrew and Paul, do you want to tell us what the others are?

0:28:02 > 0:28:04Talk us through them all.

0:28:04 > 0:28:08A is, I'm fairly certain, Romeo and Juliet.

0:28:08 > 0:28:12- B, if we've got our Richards right...- Richard III. - ..is Richard III.

0:28:12 > 0:28:15- C, could that be Midsummer Night's Dream?- It could well be.

0:28:15 > 0:28:18- And E...- Is that Helen Mirren?

0:28:18 > 0:28:20- Is that Helen Mirren? - Is that Helen Mirren, do you think?

0:28:20 > 0:28:23- In which case... - She was in The Tempest.- Was she?

0:28:23 > 0:28:27I don't think we'll beat Antony and Cleopatra, so we might as well have a go.

0:28:27 > 0:28:30We will go for E and The Tempest.

0:28:30 > 0:28:32- E and The Tempest.- Yes.

0:28:32 > 0:28:35Sue and Caz have said Antony and Cleopatra for D

0:28:35 > 0:28:38and Andrew and Paul have said The Tempest for E.

0:28:38 > 0:28:43Antony and Cleopatra. Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.

0:28:43 > 0:28:45It's right.

0:28:50 > 0:28:53- Very well done. 12. - APPLAUSE

0:28:57 > 0:29:01Andrew and Paul have said that E is The Tempest.

0:29:01 > 0:29:05- Why have you said that? You think that's Helen Mirren? - We think it might be.

0:29:05 > 0:29:11And we think Antony and Cleopatra would beat A, B and C, which are the answers we know.

0:29:11 > 0:29:14- OK.- So worth a shot.- So you're going to have a bit of a shot on E.

0:29:14 > 0:29:19Let's see if E is The Tempest and if it is, let's see how many people said The Tempest.

0:29:21 > 0:29:24- Oh!- Bad luck, I'm afraid. Not The Tempest.

0:29:24 > 0:29:26But I bet you're right,

0:29:26 > 0:29:29I bet that is the only one that would've beaten Sue and Caz.

0:29:29 > 0:29:33Which means, Sue and Caz, after the first question, you are up 1-0.

0:29:33 > 0:29:37Yes, that was the only one that would've won you the point.

0:29:37 > 0:29:41Not Helen Mirren, it's Kelly Hunter. It's The Winter's Tale. That was a pointless answer.

0:29:41 > 0:29:44Anyone who got that at home, terrific work.

0:29:44 > 0:29:48You had to give it a go because "A", Romeo and Juliet, would've scored you...

0:29:48 > 0:29:50..86.

0:29:50 > 0:29:54Richard III, B, would've scored you 29.

0:29:54 > 0:30:00There's Judi Dench and Oliver Chris, in the horse's head, in A Midsummer Night's Dream

0:30:00 > 0:30:02and that would've scored you 38.

0:30:02 > 0:30:05Thank you, Richard. Here comes your second question.

0:30:05 > 0:30:09Andrew and Paul, you have to win it to stay in the game. Best of luck.

0:30:09 > 0:30:11It concerns...

0:30:13 > 0:30:15The Statue of Liberty. Richard.

0:30:15 > 0:30:19We'll show you five clues to facts about the Statue of Liberty. Can you answer the most obscure?

0:30:19 > 0:30:24Let's reveal our five clues. Here they come. We have got...

0:30:35 > 0:30:36I'll read those one last time.

0:30:45 > 0:30:49There we are, five clues to facts about the Statue of Liberty.

0:30:49 > 0:30:51- (It was definitely made in France.) - Yes.

0:30:51 > 0:30:54(The question is, erm...)

0:30:55 > 0:30:57Are there 50 spikes?

0:30:57 > 0:31:01(The question is, I think the metal is also copper

0:31:01 > 0:31:05- (because I think it turns green, but that's a long shot.)- Yes.

0:31:05 > 0:31:08OK, we think we know one, but we definitely know one,

0:31:08 > 0:31:13so we're going to go for the one we are certain about, it was originally made in France.

0:31:13 > 0:31:16Originally made in France, says Andrew and Paul.

0:31:16 > 0:31:19Sue and Caz, the rest of the board is yours.

0:31:19 > 0:31:24I would've guessed the number of spikes might be, mm,

0:31:24 > 0:31:28possibly 13, to do with the stripes on the flag, but I don't know.

0:31:28 > 0:31:31Erm... We knew the France one.

0:31:31 > 0:31:34The hand would only be a guess!

0:31:34 > 0:31:38I think the metal from which the exterior's made must be copper.

0:31:38 > 0:31:41- That's the one you're going for?- Mm. - Copper.

0:31:41 > 0:31:43OK, so we have France and we have copper.

0:31:43 > 0:31:45Andrew and Paul said France.

0:31:45 > 0:31:49Let's see if that's right and how many people said France.

0:31:51 > 0:31:53It's right.

0:31:53 > 0:31:57- Ooh, but it's a big score. 68. - APPLAUSE

0:31:59 > 0:32:04- You were toying with copper, weren't you, Andrew? - I was, because it turns green.

0:32:04 > 0:32:07Well, Sue and Caz have taken that guess.

0:32:07 > 0:32:11They've said copper. Let's see if that's right and how many people said copper.

0:32:13 > 0:32:15It's right.

0:32:15 > 0:32:17And it beats France.

0:32:19 > 0:32:22That's a good answer. There we are. Copper - 17.

0:32:22 > 0:32:24APPLAUSE

0:32:24 > 0:32:27Very well done. Sue and Caz, after only two questions,

0:32:27 > 0:32:30- you are through to the final 2-0. - Copper's a terrific answer.

0:32:30 > 0:32:35As Paul says, it naturally oxidises and turns green. That's what gives it the colour.

0:32:35 > 0:32:37The number of spikes on her crown -

0:32:37 > 0:32:41it's not 13, it's seven, and would've scored you 7.

0:32:41 > 0:32:43This next one, the hand in which she holds the torch,

0:32:43 > 0:32:47if anyone just did this randomly -

0:32:47 > 0:32:49the answer is the right hand -

0:32:49 > 0:32:53but what would you expect that to score if you literally just guessed?

0:32:53 > 0:32:56- 50.- Yeah. 49 that scored. LAUGHTER

0:32:56 > 0:32:59Which, statistically, that means nobody knew that at all.

0:32:59 > 0:33:03Statistically, that's even better than a pointless answer.

0:33:03 > 0:33:07The former name of Liberty Island, very well done if you got this, is Bedloe's Island.

0:33:07 > 0:33:10- That would've scored you 1 point. - Thanks very much indeed, Richard.

0:33:10 > 0:33:14The couple leaving us at the end of the head-to-head, I'm afraid it's Andrew and Paul.

0:33:14 > 0:33:18A much better performance today than last time.

0:33:18 > 0:33:21Round One last time, and you've zoomed through to the head-to-head.

0:33:21 > 0:33:26But I'm afraid you came up against Sue and Caz there, who pipped you.

0:33:26 > 0:33:29- You didn't really have many options on that first board.- No.

0:33:29 > 0:33:33- The Winter's Tale was tough! - I wouldn't have guessed that.

0:33:33 > 0:33:38Ah, well, it's been great having you on the show. Thank you for playing. Andrew and Paul!

0:33:38 > 0:33:40APPLAUSE

0:33:40 > 0:33:42But for Sue and Caz,

0:33:42 > 0:33:45it's now time for our Pointless final.

0:33:47 > 0:33:50Congratulations, Sue and Caz,

0:33:50 > 0:33:54you fought off the competition and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.

0:33:59 > 0:34:01You now have a chance to win our jackpot.

0:34:01 > 0:34:06At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £3,000.

0:34:08 > 0:34:12You've done very well indeed. Let's remember all the things that we've tested you on.

0:34:12 > 0:34:16We had capital cities, soundtracks from films,

0:34:16 > 0:34:20we had Shakespeare productions and Statue of Liberty.

0:34:20 > 0:34:24So just two questions in the head-to-head round, 2-0 you came through,

0:34:24 > 0:34:27and you were the lowest scorers in every round, apart from Round One,

0:34:27 > 0:34:30but even then, your scoring was incredibly low.

0:34:30 > 0:34:33What would you like to see come up in this last round?

0:34:33 > 0:34:36Well, my thing is geography, so I'm a bit sad that's already gone.

0:34:36 > 0:34:39That's where all my pointless ones come from.

0:34:39 > 0:34:44Obviously, I would like science, but then I might embarrass myself!

0:34:44 > 0:34:49Best of luck. As always, you start this round by choosing a category. You have four choices.

0:34:49 > 0:34:50They are...

0:34:50 > 0:34:52- The Traveling Wilburys... - AUDIENCE MURMUR

0:34:52 > 0:34:56- ..Chemistry and Physics... - LAUGHTER

0:34:56 > 0:34:58..Chick-Lit

0:34:58 > 0:35:00and Motorsport.

0:35:00 > 0:35:03- It's got to be...- We have to go with Chemistry. But it's all you.

0:35:03 > 0:35:06I know. I don't know anything about the other ones.

0:35:06 > 0:35:09- Got to be Chemistry and Physics! - Chemistry and Physics it is.

0:35:09 > 0:35:11Richard.

0:35:11 > 0:35:15Now, are you absolutely certain? LAUGHTER

0:35:15 > 0:35:19The Traveling Wilburys is here. I can do it.

0:35:19 > 0:35:21- You're sure?- You can do this. - I-I'm good!

0:35:21 > 0:35:25OK. Well, don't say I didn't give them the opportunity.

0:35:25 > 0:35:29We'll give you three options here. I hope there's stuff you know. I suspect there will be.

0:35:29 > 0:35:33Take your answer from any of these. We're looking for...

0:35:36 > 0:35:38We are looking for...

0:35:40 > 0:35:42Or we are looking for...

0:35:47 > 0:35:50Some varied things there. HE RE-READS LIST

0:35:51 > 0:35:53No temporary elements, please.

0:35:58 > 0:36:01Good luck at home. And, you know, no pressure,

0:36:01 > 0:36:05but it should go quite well in the studio, you'd hope!

0:36:05 > 0:36:07Thank you very much indeed.

0:36:07 > 0:36:10As always, you've got up to a minute to come up with three answers.

0:36:10 > 0:36:14All you need to win that £3,000 is for just one of them to be pointless.

0:36:14 > 0:36:17Remember, the answers can come from any of these three categories.

0:36:17 > 0:36:21It can be all from one, one from one, two from another, it's completely up to you.

0:36:21 > 0:36:24- Are you ready?- Yes.- Yes.

0:36:24 > 0:36:26Let's put 60 seconds on the clock. There they are.

0:36:26 > 0:36:28Your time starts now.

0:36:28 > 0:36:31Yttrium and ytterbium definitely begin with a Y. I can't think of...

0:36:31 > 0:36:34Molybdenum's got a Y.

0:36:34 > 0:36:38- I don't think we should go for any presenters.- No. Winner of Physics, Robert Millikan.

0:36:38 > 0:36:42- Lawrence Bragg. - Are they going to be pointless?

0:36:42 > 0:36:44- Winners...- Well, it's up to you.

0:36:44 > 0:36:48We can go for three elements if you want.

0:36:48 > 0:36:52I'm just trying to think of another one. Erm...

0:36:53 > 0:36:57- I'm trying to think of one with Y further in...- In the middle.- Yes.

0:37:00 > 0:37:05- Are you not thinking of any? - I'm not thinking of any, no! It's up to you.

0:37:08 > 0:37:12- Have we got three?- Yeah. I'll just think to the end of the time.

0:37:14 > 0:37:18- Do you want to go for three elements?- No, two and...- OK.

0:37:18 > 0:37:22- 10 seconds left.- OK. - Which are you going to go for?

0:37:22 > 0:37:25- OK?- Yes. - You're happy with what you've got?

0:37:25 > 0:37:28Well, your time is up, anyway!

0:37:28 > 0:37:30There we are! What three answers are you going to give me, Sue?

0:37:30 > 0:37:33- I would go for yttrium...- Yttrium.

0:37:33 > 0:37:36- ..ytterbium...- Ytterbium.

0:37:36 > 0:37:38..and...

0:37:40 > 0:37:43SHE STAMMERS & SIGHS

0:37:43 > 0:37:46- ..Lawrence Bragg. - And Lawrence Bragg.- Yes.

0:37:46 > 0:37:48For Lawrence, just say which category.

0:37:48 > 0:37:52Lawrence Bragg is for Physics, and the other two are elements.

0:37:52 > 0:37:55Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?

0:37:55 > 0:37:57I would guess at ytterbium.

0:37:57 > 0:38:01OK, ytterbium we'll put last. Which is your least likely?

0:38:01 > 0:38:06- Yttrium.- Yttrium.- Mm. - And Lawrence Bragg in the middle.

0:38:06 > 0:38:09OK, let's put those up on the board in that order.

0:38:09 > 0:38:10We have got...

0:38:15 > 0:38:19So yttrium, Lawrence Bragg and ytterbium.

0:38:19 > 0:38:22Very best of luck. Your first answer was yttrium.

0:38:22 > 0:38:26Let's see if that's right. If it's right and pointless, you will win £3,000.

0:38:26 > 0:38:30That's quite a nice jackpot. Sue, what would you do with that?

0:38:30 > 0:38:32Well, my youngest daughter is in Australia,

0:38:32 > 0:38:36- so it might be quite nice to go out and visit.- Very nice.

0:38:36 > 0:38:39Caz, anything you particularly want to spend that on?

0:38:39 > 0:38:42- I guess I should say the same! - LAUGHTER

0:38:42 > 0:38:44Go see the sister!

0:38:44 > 0:38:48- Although Australia's not bad, so... - You don't want to go and see your sister, do you?

0:38:48 > 0:38:51I'd rather go to a country I've not been to before,

0:38:51 > 0:38:54but she hasn't been home in a while, so...

0:38:54 > 0:38:56It honestly sounds like her business.

0:38:56 > 0:38:59- Let her win an Australian game show and come and visit you!- OK.

0:38:59 > 0:39:02- Don't you think?- I'll tell her that.

0:39:02 > 0:39:06Well, let's find out, yttrium - is it pointless?

0:39:06 > 0:39:08For £3,000,

0:39:08 > 0:39:12is it a chemical element containing the letter Y?

0:39:14 > 0:39:16It is.

0:39:16 > 0:39:18Yttrium taking us down through the 60s and 50s.

0:39:18 > 0:39:23If it goes down to zero, you will leave here with £3,000.

0:39:23 > 0:39:24Into single figures.

0:39:24 > 0:39:28- 8 is where yttrium comes to a stop! - APPLAUSE

0:39:30 > 0:39:34That's a great answer, Sue. It's not a pointless answer, though.

0:39:34 > 0:39:38Your second answer was Lawrence Bragg. Tell us a bit about Lawrence Bragg.

0:39:38 > 0:39:43He worked with his father, I think, but apart from that, I don't know!

0:39:43 > 0:39:45When did he win the Nobel Prize?

0:39:45 > 0:39:48- It must've been the '20s?- OK. - I'm only guessing!

0:39:48 > 0:39:50- Well, it's impressive enough! - I know he did win.

0:39:50 > 0:39:55You know he won. OK. You know it's correct, let's find out if it's pointless.

0:39:55 > 0:39:57If it is, it wins you £3,000.

0:39:57 > 0:40:01Is Lawrence Bragg a Nobel Prize-winner?

0:40:03 > 0:40:09Yes, he was. So your first answer, yttrium, took us down to 8.

0:40:09 > 0:40:12Lawrence Bragg now taking us down...

0:40:12 > 0:40:14Past 8... Down he goes. Still going down...

0:40:14 > 0:40:17Yes! You've done it with Lawrence Bragg!

0:40:17 > 0:40:21- Really? - Very well done! That's fantastic.

0:40:21 > 0:40:23- Thank you.- Congratulations. - Thank you.

0:40:23 > 0:40:26I can't believe it!

0:40:29 > 0:40:34There we are! Very well done indeed! Congratulations.

0:40:34 > 0:40:37- Well done! - Lawrence Bragg is a pointless answer

0:40:37 > 0:40:40- and there is a trip to Australia on the cards.- Maybe!

0:40:40 > 0:40:44You will be leaving here with that jackpot of £3,000.

0:40:44 > 0:40:46- Fantastic.- Thank you.- Well done!

0:40:46 > 0:40:49Now, who's your other Nobel Prize-winner?

0:40:49 > 0:40:52- Millikan. Robert Millikan. - Robert Millikan.

0:40:52 > 0:40:54I wasn't sure of the dates.

0:40:54 > 0:40:57OK, well, let's find out. Richard.

0:40:57 > 0:41:01Let's find out indeed. Any obscure Nobel Prize-winner is going to win you the money

0:41:01 > 0:41:03because almost all of them are pointless.

0:41:03 > 0:41:07If we'd had to go onto ytterbium, it would've scored you 1 point.

0:41:07 > 0:41:11Far more people know the periodic table than know the Nobel Prizes.

0:41:11 > 0:41:13Robert Millikan...

0:41:13 > 0:41:15- ..was a pointless answer.- Well done!

0:41:15 > 0:41:18It would've been a fantastic one. APPLAUSE

0:41:21 > 0:41:27Lawrence Bragg's father, Sir William Bragg, who he did win the prize with, would've been pointless, as well.

0:41:27 > 0:41:31That's why Lawrence Bragg is known by his middle name. They were both Williams.

0:41:31 > 0:41:36Let's take a look at some of the pointless answers for the chemical elements.

0:41:36 > 0:41:41You gave us one in the 60 seconds. You said molybdenum and that would've been a pointless answer.

0:41:41 > 0:41:45As would dysprosium, neodymium and praseodymium.

0:41:45 > 0:41:49Please do, if I pronounce any of these wrong, er, keep quiet about it!

0:41:49 > 0:41:51LAUGHTER No, do tell me.

0:41:51 > 0:41:53I have to do them all the time

0:41:53 > 0:41:57and I have my own ways of pronouncing them, but I suspect I'm wrong on most.

0:41:57 > 0:42:01The "Bang Goes The Theory" presenters... Remember that question?

0:42:01 > 0:42:04The two pointless answers, Dr Yan Wong and Philippa Forrester,

0:42:04 > 0:42:06who also used to present Tomorrow's World,

0:42:06 > 0:42:09they were both pointless, so well done if you said either.

0:42:09 > 0:42:11Now, for the Nobel Prize-winners,

0:42:11 > 0:42:14I'll just give you a list of the people who would've scored points.

0:42:14 > 0:42:18Einstein would've scored 35, Marie Curie, Niels Bohr,

0:42:18 > 0:42:22Schrodinger, Max Planck, Paul Dirac, they would've scored points, as would Wilhelm Rontgen.

0:42:22 > 0:42:26Every single other person who won that Nobel Prize was a pointless answer,

0:42:26 > 0:42:29so if you said any of them, you would've won the money.

0:42:29 > 0:42:34But you said the one in the studio, Sir Lawrence Bragg, pointless answer.

0:42:34 > 0:42:38That's nice, isn't it? We said, "Nice to have a mother-and-daughter team."

0:42:38 > 0:42:42The daughter, brilliant all the way through to the final, the mum takes over in the final.

0:42:42 > 0:42:45What a team! Going home with that cash. Lovely.

0:42:45 > 0:42:50Very well done. Thanks once again to our winning players, Sue and Caz,

0:42:50 > 0:42:53who go away with today's jackpot of £3,000.

0:42:53 > 0:42:56APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:42:56 > 0:43:01Join us next time, when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge to the test.

0:43:01 > 0:43:02- It's goodbye from Richard. - Goodbye.

0:43:02 > 0:43:05- And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye. - APPLAUSE
