0:00:15 > 0:00:17APPLAUSE & CHEERING
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:26 > 0:00:28the quiz show that puts obscure knowledge to the test.
0:00:28 > 0:00:31Let's meet today's players.
0:00:34 > 0:00:38Couple number one... I'm Andrew, this is my friend Steve and we're from Brighton.
0:00:38 > 0:00:43Couple number two... I'm Alex, this is my wife Sophie and we're from Whitley Bay.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46Couple number three... I'm Dayle, this is my father Keith and we're from Coventry.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48And finally, couple number four...
0:00:48 > 0:00:52I'm Estelle, this is my good friend Kath and we live in Cheshire.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55These are today's contestants. APPLAUSE
0:00:56 > 0:01:00Thanks, all of you. We'll find out more about you throughout the show.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02That leaves one person for me to introduce -
0:01:02 > 0:01:05a bureau de change whose currency is cold, hard facts,
0:01:05 > 0:01:09and I can tell you, they're currently trading at 4.25 to the pound -
0:01:09 > 0:01:11it's my Pointless friend, it's Richard. Hiya!
0:01:11 > 0:01:14Hi, everybody! APPLAUSE
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Good afternoon to you. And to you. How are you?
0:01:18 > 0:01:22I'm really very well. How about you? Very, very good, thank you.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26We've only got one returning pair, Andrew and Steve, who we saw last time, but not for long.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29They got knocked out in the first round last time.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31This time, they're seasoned pros. Oh, yes.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34Well, not seasoned pros because you were with us for about 4.5 minutes,
0:01:34 > 0:01:37but you know what I mean.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40It's a lovely first question today. Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43All our questions have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:01:43 > 0:01:48Our contestants have to find the obscure answers those 100 people didn't get.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51Everyone's trying to find an answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Each time that happens, we add £250 to the jackpot.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Lee and Simon won the jackpot
0:01:57 > 0:02:00so today's jackpot starts off at £1,000.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11I'll take an answer from each of you but there is to be no conferring.
0:02:11 > 0:02:15Whichever pair has the highest score will be heading home, so make sure that's not you.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18Our first category today is...
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Sitcoms.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first and who's going to go second?
0:02:24 > 0:02:27Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32And the question concerns...
0:02:34 > 0:02:38Richard... We're going to show you the character names
0:02:38 > 0:02:40of seven sitcom couples from British sitcoms.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Tell us the shows they appeared in, please.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46There's going to be 14 in all to have a go at at home. Good luck.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50Thanks very much indeed. We're looking for the sitcoms which featured these couples.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Here they are on our first board...
0:03:06 > 0:03:08I'll read those one final time.
0:03:22 > 0:03:27There we are. Andrew and Steve, you all drew lots before the show and you are going to go first.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Andrew, tell us about last time.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33I let the side down last time with the periodic table.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35You didn't let the side down! It was an incorrect answer,
0:03:35 > 0:03:39but you went about it the right way. We like people who take risks!
0:03:39 > 0:03:43Remind us what you do, Andrew. I run a recruitment agency business.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47And what do you get up to when you're not recruiting?
0:03:47 > 0:03:51I'm an avid football fan. We're season-ticket holders at Brighton & Hove Albion.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54That's probably what I spend most of my spare time doing.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56How do you feel about sitcoms?
0:03:56 > 0:03:59I was thinking of going risky again
0:03:59 > 0:04:03but after what happened last time, the nerves have set in a little bit
0:04:03 > 0:04:06so I'll, er, play relatively safe
0:04:06 > 0:04:09and I'll say Hyacinth Bucket and Richard Bucket,
0:04:09 > 0:04:13Keeping Up Appearances. Keeping Up Appearances, says Andrew. Let's see if that's right
0:04:13 > 0:04:17and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25Look at that! 55! APPLAUSE
0:04:25 > 0:04:28Not bad, and by no means the highest score on that board, I suspect.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30A fairly safe answer from podium one.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34Five series, 44 episodes of Keeping Up Appearances.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37Thanks very much. Sophie, welcome. Great to have you here.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39What do you do? I'm a midwife.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41How long have you done that for?
0:04:41 > 0:04:44I have been a midwife for seven years.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47Which hospital? The Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle. The RVI.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50And how long have you been there - the full term? Yes.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53So to speak! To use a midwife term there!
0:04:53 > 0:04:55What do you do when you're not doing that?
0:04:55 > 0:04:59I have a little boy who's ten months old, so I do a lot of things with him,
0:04:59 > 0:05:03and I'm currently training for the Great North Swim in Windermere.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Hoo! What time of year?
0:05:05 > 0:05:08June, but I don't think that makes much difference. No, not much.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12And it'll be raining! It's in Windermere! Very good!
0:05:12 > 0:05:15Now, Sophie, what do you make of this board of sitcom couples?
0:05:15 > 0:05:18I am struggling a little bit.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21I'm going to go with Victor Meldrew and Margaret Meldrew
0:05:21 > 0:05:23as One Foot in the Grave.
0:05:23 > 0:05:24Let's see if that's right
0:05:24 > 0:05:27and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Absolutely right.
0:05:29 > 0:05:3155, our score so far.
0:05:31 > 0:05:3476 for One Foot in the Grave. APPLAUSE
0:05:34 > 0:05:37As you say, I suspect there's going to be some big scorers up there.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41Written by David Renwick, who also created Jonathan Creek.
0:05:41 > 0:05:42Thanks, Richard.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45Now, Dayle, a warm welcome to you.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47What do you do? I'm a computer technician.
0:05:47 > 0:05:52In your spare time, what do you get up to? I dabble in a bit of song writing.
0:05:52 > 0:05:57I can't sing for the life of me, so I'm not even going to try!
0:05:57 > 0:06:00That's interesting! You don't write them for yourself?
0:06:00 > 0:06:05No. I actually, erm, through a mutual friend, got in touch with a girl in America
0:06:05 > 0:06:08who has become my vocalist, if you like. Fantastic.
0:06:08 > 0:06:13Good stuff. We're looking for the sitcoms that featured these couples.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17When I first saw Sitcoms, I thought, "I should be all right with this"
0:06:17 > 0:06:22but then it became British sitcoms, and no...!
0:06:22 > 0:06:26I have to go with the one that I do know - Rodney and Cassandra Trotter
0:06:26 > 0:06:28and Only Fools and Horses.
0:06:28 > 0:06:33Only Fools and Horses, says Dayle. Let's see how many people said Only Fools and Horses.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35It's ri... Ooh! Look at that!
0:06:35 > 0:06:38I didn't even get to the end of the word "right".
0:06:38 > 0:06:4194 for Only Fools and Horses.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44That's some recognition, isn't it? Isn't it?
0:06:44 > 0:06:47They meet in the same episode that Del falls through the bar.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50That's nice, isn't it? I think it's nice. Yuppie love.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Estelle, welcome to you. Great to have you here.
0:06:53 > 0:06:58What do you do? I am the head of procurement policy and financial policy
0:06:58 > 0:07:02for a government department that might be involved in educating children.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05That might be? Other government departments are available.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07I see! Fair enough!
0:07:07 > 0:07:09What do you get up to in your spare time?
0:07:09 > 0:07:12I am into, for my sins, model railways.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14How long have you done that?
0:07:14 > 0:07:18Oh, goodness! Only a few years. About three or four years.
0:07:18 > 0:07:24What got you into it? Well, my son, who's nine, started to get into it,
0:07:24 > 0:07:28and I went along for the fun of it and now I appear to have taken over.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31He's not allowed into the room any more! Not really.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33He might mess it up, so... OK. Fair enough!
0:07:33 > 0:07:37Estelle, you're the last person to have this board. Can you talk us through it?
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Goodness. Erm...
0:07:39 > 0:07:42I've got a complete blank on Frank Spencer and Betty Spencer.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46I know that's really obvious and I've seen awful lots of them.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50But thank goodness I do know Tim Canterbury and Dawn Tinsley
0:07:50 > 0:07:53are from The Office.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55The Office, says Estelle. Let's see if that's right
0:07:55 > 0:07:58and let's see how many of our 100 said The Office.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01It's right.
0:08:06 > 0:08:086! APPLAUSE
0:08:08 > 0:08:13Wow! There had to be a low score in there somewhere, Estelle, and you found it.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Very well done. 6 for The Office.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18If you're going to know one, that's the one to know.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Played by Martin Freeman and Lucy Davis.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Lovely relationship in that sitcom.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25Frank Spencer and Betty Spencer is...
0:08:25 > 0:08:29Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em. Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em, yep. Would've scored you 64 points.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33Ria Parkinson and Leonard Dunn, again, from the same period.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35It's Butterflies. Ahh!
0:08:35 > 0:08:38Ria, of course, played by Wendy Craig.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41I bet you know Adam Smallbone and Alex Smallbone. I do.
0:08:41 > 0:08:46It's from a very modern show. It's Tom Hollander and Olivia Colman. Oh, it's Rev! Yes.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49That would've scored you 2. That's the best answer up there.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Very good indeed. Let's take a look at those scores.
0:08:52 > 0:08:566 is the best score of that pass. Estelle, well done to you.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58I'd say you and Kath can relax on the back of that.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01Then up to 55, where we find Andrew and Steve,
0:09:01 > 0:09:0376, Sophie and Alex
0:09:03 > 0:09:05and then 94, I'm afraid, Dayle and Keith.
0:09:05 > 0:09:10Keith, we need a low score from you if you're going to stay with us beyond this round.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:09:16 > 0:09:19OK, we're going to put seven more sitcom couples on the board.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21We have got...
0:09:35 > 0:09:37I'll read those one final time.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53There we are. Remember, we are looking for the sitcoms that feature these couples.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57Kath, you need to find a nice low-scoring one, as ever.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Brilliant score from Estelle in that last pass.
0:10:00 > 0:10:05Thankfully! Very good indeed. That's taken the pressure off you when the time comes.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09You only need to score 87 or less. That will see you comfortably into the next round.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11But first, Kath, tell us what you do.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15I'm the finance director for a company that makes light-up balloons.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18Light-up balloons. Yep.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21Like what? What, that you light yourselves?
0:10:21 > 0:10:24You pull a tab and an LED goes on in the balloon
0:10:24 > 0:10:26and then you inflate them.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30They're good for parties at night. They sound fantastic! They are. They're amazing.
0:10:30 > 0:10:35I want one now. Well, not right now, but I think that sounds like a fantastic thing to have.
0:10:35 > 0:10:39OK, now then, what about this board?
0:10:39 > 0:10:42This board is not the best for me. I much preferred the last one.
0:10:42 > 0:10:47Thankfully, there is one that I do know, I hope.
0:10:47 > 0:10:51Vince Pinner and Penny Warrender are from Just Good Friends.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Just Good Friends, says Kath.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Here comes your red line. If you get below that,
0:10:56 > 0:10:58you are in Round Two.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01Let's see how many of our 100 said Just Good Friends.
0:11:01 > 0:11:05It's right. Very well done indeed. You're through.
0:11:08 > 0:11:1018. APPLAUSE
0:11:11 > 0:11:1418 takes your total up to 24. Very well done, Kath.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18Good answer. Written by John Sullivan, who wrote Only Fools and Horses.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21Played by Paul Nicholas and Jan Francis. Thanks very much.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24Keith, welcome to the show. Great to have you here.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27Your son has left you a bit of a mountain to climb. Yes.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31What do you do? I'm a builder, kitchens and bathroom fitting.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33What do you get up to in your spare time?
0:11:33 > 0:11:35I try and play golf as often as I can - with Dayle.
0:11:35 > 0:11:41And I'm also trying to learn to play the guitar in my shed.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43So you go off and practise the guitar!
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Trying to! Very good. I'm not getting very far.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48Does Dayle ever let you play guitar on his songs? Er, no.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51LAUGHTER Keith, what are you going to go for?
0:11:51 > 0:11:54I do know a couple of them. I'm just...
0:11:54 > 0:11:58I'm going to go for Sergeant Wilson and Mrs Pike as in Dad's Army.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01Dad's Army. You're the high scorers. This needs to be a low score.
0:12:01 > 0:12:06Let's hope it is. Dad's Army - how many of our 100 said that?
0:12:08 > 0:12:09It's right.
0:12:09 > 0:12:1182!
0:12:11 > 0:12:13That's another high score. APPLAUSE
0:12:13 > 0:12:16It takes your total up to 176.
0:12:16 > 0:12:21There are some properly big scorers. We British people love our sitcoms.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Certainly do. Now, Alex...
0:12:23 > 0:12:24Hello. Welcome to the show.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27What do you do? I work in the energy business,
0:12:27 > 0:12:31looking at renewable energy and how you can save energy in homes.
0:12:31 > 0:12:36When you're not doing that, what do you like to get up to? I'm a big football fan.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39Big supporter of Middlesbrough Football Club, for my sins.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42I also am in training with Sophie for the Great North Swim.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46I'm learning a bit of French, as well, at the moment. Wow.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49So, the Great North Swim and learning French?
0:12:49 > 0:12:54That's a mountain to climb! Multitasking! Absolutely. You've got to when you're married.
0:12:54 > 0:12:58You are on 76. The high scorers are Keith and Dayle on 176.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00If you can score 99 or less,
0:13:00 > 0:13:02you are in Round Two.
0:13:02 > 0:13:06Yep. OK, I think there's a couple up there that I know.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09The one I'm going to plump for is Mark Corrigan and Sophie Chapman
0:13:09 > 0:13:11and say Peep Show.
0:13:11 > 0:13:16Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Peep Show.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Very well done. You're through.
0:13:24 > 0:13:265 for Peep Show! APPLAUSE
0:13:26 > 0:13:30Very well done, Alex. Takes your total up to 81.
0:13:31 > 0:13:32Well played, Alex.
0:13:32 > 0:13:37Yes, the brilliant Olivia Colman, this time with the equally brilliant David Mitchell.
0:13:37 > 0:13:38Steve!
0:13:38 > 0:13:43Your reward for waiting so patiently is that you are through to the next round.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46Even if you score 100 points, you won't overtake Keith and Dayle on 176.
0:13:46 > 0:13:50Steve, remind us again what you do. I'm a self-employed decorator.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52What do you like doing with your time?
0:13:52 > 0:13:56Like our friend along there, I am learning to play the guitar.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00I also do pub quizzes. I set pub quizzes.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03You set the quiz! How long have you done that for? Oh, probably 20 years.
0:14:03 > 0:14:07Do you find that the general knowledge sticks in there?
0:14:07 > 0:14:10Some of it does, others doesn't. You can ask the same question three times
0:14:10 > 0:14:14and still not remember the answer. I know that one!
0:14:14 > 0:14:18So, Steve, which were the sitcoms that these couples were in?
0:14:18 > 0:14:21Erm, Ben Harper and Susan Harper,
0:14:21 > 0:14:25it's something Family, or The Family, is it? I don't know.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Basil Fawlty, down the bottom, of course, is Fawlty Towers.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31I think I'll go for Rene and Edith Artois -
0:14:31 > 0:14:34'Allo 'Allo!. 'Allo 'Allo!, says Steve.
0:14:34 > 0:14:39No red line for you. But let's see how many people said 'Allo 'Allo!.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41It's right.
0:14:42 > 0:14:4467. APPLAUSE
0:14:44 > 0:14:48I thought it would be high. Takes your total up to 122.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52Let's take a look at the rest. Ben Harper and Susan Harper,
0:14:52 > 0:14:54you were nearly there, it's My Family. My Family.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57Would've scored you 50 points.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01Basil and Sybil Fawlty - what do you think that would score? I would hope 97.
0:15:01 > 0:15:06Even more than that. Good. It scores, it doesn't happen very often, 100 points.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09Brilliant. 100 points for Fawlty Towers.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11And best answer on the board
0:15:11 > 0:15:14is Beverly Lincoln and Sean Lincoln, another modern sitcom.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18This is the brilliant Episodes. Stephen Mangan and Tamsin Greig.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21Episodes. Would've scored 1 point. Well done if you said that.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24It's a terrific answer. Thanks very much indeed.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28At the end of our first round, the pair who'll be heading home,
0:15:28 > 0:15:31I'm afraid to said it's Keith and Dayle.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35Ooh! You were right. Two perfectly good answers, but very high-scoring ones.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38We'll see you again next time. We'll look forward to that.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41Thanks very much. Great. APPLAUSE
0:15:43 > 0:15:47But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53So only the pairs remain.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56At the end of this round, we'll say goodbye to another pair.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00Andrew and Steve, welcome to Round Two. Thank you. This is what it looks like.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03Estelle and Kath, lovely low scores from you. Very well done.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05You would appear to be the pair to beat.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09Best of luck to all three pairs. Our category for Round Two is...
0:16:10 > 0:16:15Awards. Can you all decide who's going to go first and who's going to go second?
0:16:15 > 0:16:18Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Let's find out what the question is.
0:16:22 > 0:16:28We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:16:31 > 0:16:35Honoured 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Athletes. Richard...
0:16:35 > 0:16:38Yes, in her 2013 New Year's Honours List,
0:16:38 > 0:16:43the Queen honoured over 60 UK athletes who took part in the Olympics or the Paralympics.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45We're looking for any of them, please.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49Any UK competitor in the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games
0:16:49 > 0:16:54who got an MBE, OBE, CBE, knighthood or damehood in the 2013 Honours List.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57We're not looking for anyone who had one beforehand, like Sir Chris Hoy.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00Anyone who was honoured in that 2013 list.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Very best of luck. Thanks very much indeed.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06As the man said, any 2012 Olympic or Paralympic athlete
0:17:06 > 0:17:10honoured in the 2013 New Year's Honours List.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Andrew...
0:17:12 > 0:17:15XANDER LAUGHS Is this a really terrible category?
0:17:15 > 0:17:18This is a really terrible category. OK.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21Well, I'll give you a moment or two just to think back
0:17:21 > 0:17:24to the glorious summer of 2012.
0:17:26 > 0:17:30I don't know who was honoured. I've just got to think of somebody that did fairly well,
0:17:30 > 0:17:33and I'll say Tom Daley.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Tom Daley, says Andrew.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38Let's see how many of our 100 said Tom Daley.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Oh, bad luck, Andrew.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45That may well not be the last incorrect answer of this round.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48But bad luck, it scores you 100 points.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52There are over 60 names on this list, there's a lot of people, but perhaps he was too young,
0:17:52 > 0:17:55or perhaps the Queen had watched Splash!.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57LAUGHTER He was not honoured.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01Thanks very much indeed. Alex, what are you going to go for?
0:18:01 > 0:18:03It's quite a tricky one, this, actually,
0:18:03 > 0:18:07because I've got a couple of names that I think are quite safe
0:18:07 > 0:18:11and then a couple that I think are a bit risky.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14I'm going to play what I hope is safe and say Mo Farah.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18Mo Farah, says Alex. Let's see if that's right and if it is,
0:18:18 > 0:18:20let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23Absolutely right.
0:18:25 > 0:18:2933. Good answer, Alex. APPLAUSE
0:18:32 > 0:18:35CBE for Mo Farah. Well played.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38Estelle...
0:18:38 > 0:18:41Estelle, did you watch the Olympics? Er, yes,
0:18:41 > 0:18:46although that seems to be paying me no dividend whatsoever!
0:18:46 > 0:18:49Any names springing to mind?
0:18:49 > 0:18:54Well, I know that the Paralympic cyclist Sarah Storey
0:18:54 > 0:18:56is Dame Sarah Storey,
0:18:56 > 0:19:00it's whether or not it happened then or whether it happened before,
0:19:00 > 0:19:03but that's the only name coming to mind so I'll go with that.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05Sarah Storey, says Estelle. Let's see if that's right
0:19:05 > 0:19:09and how many people said it if it is. Sarah Storey.
0:19:09 > 0:19:14It's right. Very well done, Estelle. That's a great answer.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19Down it goes to 8! Brilliant score! APPLAUSE
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Very well done.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27It's a terrific answer. She got four golds at the 2012 Olympics.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30bringing her total to 11 in all, which is amazing stuff.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34She started as a swimmer when she was 14,
0:19:34 > 0:19:37got an ear infection so couldn't go in the pool, swapped to cycling,
0:19:37 > 0:19:40and 11 gold medals later she's a dame, and rightly so.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42Let's take a look at those scores.
0:19:42 > 0:19:458 the best score of that pass, Estelle. Very well done.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49Once again, Estelle and Kath can relax a bit on the back of that.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Up to 33 - Alex and Sophie.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55Then up to 100, I'm afraid, a long way up, Andrew and Steve.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Steve, if you have a brilliant answer
0:19:57 > 0:19:59and someone else makes a mistake,
0:19:59 > 0:20:02there's no reason why you shouldn't be through.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04Best of luck.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:20:08 > 0:20:14OK, Kath, remember, we're looking for any 2012 Olympic or Paralympic athlete
0:20:14 > 0:20:17on the 2013 New Year's Honours List.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20You're in a very good position. You're on 8.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23The high scorers on 100 - Steve and Andrew.
0:20:23 > 0:20:2691 or less keeps you in the game.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29Mm...
0:20:29 > 0:20:32Erm, I watched the Olympics,
0:20:32 > 0:20:36but I didn't really pay attention to who was honoured afterwards,
0:20:36 > 0:20:41so I'm just going to have to pick someone and hope that they were.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44Erm, I'm going to go for Nicola Adams.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47Nicola Adams, says Kath. Estelle is nodding. She likes that.
0:20:47 > 0:20:52There's your red line. Get below that with Nicola Adams and you're in the head-to-head.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55Let's see how many people said Nicola Adams. Let's see if it's right.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59It's right. And you are through. Very well done, Kath.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04That's a brilliant score!
0:21:04 > 0:21:072 for Nicola Adams! Takes your total up to 10.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09Wonderful low total.
0:21:09 > 0:21:14Yes, great answer. Nicola Adams won gold in the flyweight women's boxing.
0:21:14 > 0:21:19Thanks very much indeed. Now, Sophie,
0:21:19 > 0:21:23you want to score 66 or less with this to keep in the game.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26I can think of quite a few people
0:21:26 > 0:21:30who did very well in the Olympics.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32One that's coming to mind,
0:21:32 > 0:21:39I don't know whether they may've been honoured prior to 2012,
0:21:39 > 0:21:42but I'm going to go with it and say Ben Ainslie.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44Ben Ainslie, says Sophie.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48There's your red line. Get below that with Ben Ainslie, you are through to the head-to-head.
0:21:48 > 0:21:53Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many people said Ben Ainslie.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55It's right.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58And you're through. Very well done.
0:22:00 > 0:22:0312 for Ben Ainslie. APPLAUSE
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Takes your total up to 45.
0:22:06 > 0:22:10Gold medals in four consecutive Olympics for Ben Ainslie,
0:22:10 > 0:22:12or as he now is, Sir Ben Ainslie.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:22:14 > 0:22:18Now, Steve, I'm sorry to say you are the high scorers
0:22:18 > 0:22:20and you haven't yet given an answer.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Have you got a good one? No!
0:22:22 > 0:22:25Well, that's kind of a relief, I suppose!
0:22:25 > 0:22:29Have you got one? I have an answer. OK. That's good.
0:22:29 > 0:22:33I now wish I'd watched it more than I did, that's all I can say!
0:22:33 > 0:22:36I'm going to go for Jennifer Ennis.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39Jennifer Ennis, says Steve. No red line for you.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43But let's see if Jennifer Ennis is right.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46Bad luck, Steve!
0:22:46 > 0:22:50Sorry, that's an incorrect answer. It scores you 100 points.
0:22:50 > 0:22:51You do go out with a bang!
0:22:51 > 0:22:55You are our newest members of the 200 Club. Congratulations.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58It's extraordinary what the studio lights can do to you.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01I know you know for a fact she's called Jessica Ennis.
0:23:01 > 0:23:06There's a few pointless answers. Let's take a look at a few. An awful lot of people were honoured.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10Two rowing OBEs here - Alex Gregory and Anna Watkins.
0:23:10 > 0:23:15The boxer Anthony Joshua was made an OBE, as well. In fact, all of these were OBEs.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17Danielle Brown. Heather Stanning, another rower.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21Jonnie Peacock, the Paralympic sprinter was also honoured.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25You could've had Katherine Copeland. Another boxer, Luke Campbell.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28The gold medal-winning shooter Peter Wilson.
0:23:28 > 0:23:32You could've had Alistair Brownlee. It would've been a pointless answer.
0:23:32 > 0:23:37Charlotte Dujardin was a pointless answer. Etienne Stott. Helen Glover.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39There's allsorts of pointless answers out there.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42Let's take a look at the top three.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46There's Mo Farah on 33.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49Jennifer Ennis's sister Jessica, with 36 there!
0:23:49 > 0:23:53Right at the top, Sir Bradley Wiggins on 50.
0:23:53 > 0:23:58Thanks very much, Richard. I'm afraid it's Steve and Andrew, our returning pair,
0:23:58 > 0:24:01we have to say goodbye to with their high score of 200.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05That was a tough one. We joined the 200 Club at least!
0:24:05 > 0:24:09Andrew, as the round went on, did you think of lots of people you could've said?
0:24:09 > 0:24:12No! LAUGHTER
0:24:12 > 0:24:16That's kind of a relief, isn't it? Yes! But I'm really sorry we have to say goodbye to you.
0:24:16 > 0:24:20Thanks so much for playing. Great contestants.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22But for the remaining two pairs,
0:24:22 > 0:24:24it's now time for the head-to-head.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32Congratulations, Estelle and Kath, Sophie and Alex.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34You're one step closer to a chance to play for our jackpot,
0:24:34 > 0:24:37which currently stands at £1,000.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41To decide which pair will play for that money, you're going to go head-to-head.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43You're now allowed to confer.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:24:46 > 0:24:50Now then, you've seen off our only returning pair.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53They've gone, and here you are.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56Estelle and Kath, fantastic performance throughout.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59Low scoring consistently in every round.
0:24:59 > 0:25:03Sophie and Alex, very well done, as well. Very strong indeed.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06You can now talk about your answers before you submit them,
0:25:06 > 0:25:08which takes some of the pressure off.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19OK, here comes your first question. It concerns...
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Birds Beginning with "C". Richard...
0:25:25 > 0:25:28We're about to show you five images of birds.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30They all begin with "C". We need you to tell us the most obscure.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34They've all got one-word names, according to RSPB website.
0:25:34 > 0:25:38Best of luck. OK. Thanks, Richard. Let's reveal our five birds beginning with "C".
0:25:38 > 0:25:40We have got...
0:26:00 > 0:26:04There we are, five birds beginning with "C".
0:26:04 > 0:26:09Now, Estelle and Kath, you played best throughout the show so you get to go first.
0:26:10 > 0:26:14(I know two of them. I know A and C.)
0:26:14 > 0:26:18(Is C is a curlew?) (Yes, it is. But "A" is a capercaillie.)
0:26:18 > 0:26:21I haven't actually seen any "A"s in my garden,
0:26:21 > 0:26:24but I reckon "A" is a capercaillie.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28A capercaillie for "A", say Estelle and Kath.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30Now, Sophie and Alex,
0:26:30 > 0:26:33do you fancy taking us through the rest of the board?
0:26:34 > 0:26:37I'd love to try, Xander!
0:26:37 > 0:26:40I think we're going to plump with B,
0:26:40 > 0:26:43which we're going to say is a chaffinch.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46B, a chaffinch, say Sophie and Alex.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49We have capercaillie versus chaffinch.
0:26:49 > 0:26:54Estelle and Kath said capercaillie for "A". Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:26:57 > 0:27:01Absolutely right. Very well done indeed, Estelle.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04That's a brilliant answer.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07Look at that - 9! Very well done. Lovely low score there.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10APPLAUSE
0:27:10 > 0:27:13Sophie and Alex have gone for chaffinch for B.
0:27:13 > 0:27:18Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many people said chaffinch.
0:27:19 > 0:27:23It's right, but it's got to beat 9.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25No. 43. APPLAUSE
0:27:25 > 0:27:2743 for chaffinch.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30Still a good answer. Estelle and Kath, very well done.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32After one question, you're up 1-0.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35The chaffinch is the second-commonest breeding bird in the UK.
0:27:35 > 0:27:39The capercaillie, however, is declining very rapidly.
0:27:39 > 0:27:44It's in danger of leaving the UK altogether. It's on the red list. Very good answer, though.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48C is... It's a curlew. It is a curlew, yes.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51That would've scored you 22.
0:27:51 > 0:27:55D is a cuckoo.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57Cuckoo would've scored you 20.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59And E... Is that a crane?
0:27:59 > 0:28:03It is a crane, yes. That would've scored you 31.
0:28:03 > 0:28:07Well done to anyone who got all five. The best answer was the capercaillie, so good work.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10Thanks, Richard. Here comes your second question.
0:28:10 > 0:28:14Sophie and Alex, you need to win this to stay in the game, but you do get to answer first.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17It concerns...
0:28:18 > 0:28:20British Landmarks.
0:28:20 > 0:28:24Richard. We'll show you five anagrams of famous landmarks from around the UK.
0:28:24 > 0:28:28Where they have "the" in front, we've removed it but other than that, it's an anagram.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30Thanks very much indeed.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33Let's reveal our five anagrams of British landmarks.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35Here they are...
0:28:43 > 0:28:44I'll read those again.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55There we are, five anagrams of British landmarks.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58Sophie and Alex, you'll go first this time.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01(Stonehenge is the first one.)
0:29:01 > 0:29:03THEY WHISPER
0:29:07 > 0:29:10We're struggling a little bit with this one.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13I think we're going to go with Honest Gene
0:29:13 > 0:29:15as being Stonehenge.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18Stonehenge. Honest Gene - Stonehenge.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20So then, Estelle and Kath,
0:29:20 > 0:29:25you can take us through the board if you like. Ha!
0:29:25 > 0:29:28Someone needs to take us through the alphabet. Erm...
0:29:30 > 0:29:33We're going to have to have a total guess. I don't know.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35The middle one...
0:29:36 > 0:29:38..Tower of London.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40Tower of London, you're going to say,
0:29:40 > 0:29:43for Worst Chief Fivefold. Tower of London.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46So we have Stonehenge versus Tower of London.
0:29:46 > 0:29:51Sophie and Alex said Stonehenge. Let's see if that's right and how many people said Stonehenge.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54It's right.
0:29:57 > 0:30:0126. APPLAUSE
0:30:02 > 0:30:07Now, Estelle and Kath, you have said the Tower of London for the middle one.
0:30:07 > 0:30:12Let's see if that's right and let's see how many people said Tower of London.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15Bad luck! Well done, Sophie and Alex, you're back in the game.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17After two questions, it's 1-1.
0:30:17 > 0:30:21Such a difficult round, that one. There's so many UK landmarks,
0:30:21 > 0:30:25you can't even do the thing of thinking of the landmark first and seeing if it fits a clue.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27The bottom one, some might've got.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29It's Loch Ness. Oh!
0:30:29 > 0:30:31Would've scored 30 points,
0:30:31 > 0:30:34so wouldn't have won you the point.
0:30:34 > 0:30:38Now, Loonies Far Up Thames - there's a clue in the question.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41Where would you find loonies up the Thames?
0:30:41 > 0:30:42The Houses of Parliament.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44Oh, look at that! LAUGHTER
0:30:45 > 0:30:49That would've scored you 4 points. Well done if you said that.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52Worst Chief Fivefold?
0:30:52 > 0:30:53It's in a famous song.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56When you're coming on the ferry, you see...?
0:30:56 > 0:31:00The White Cliffs of Dover! The White Cliffs of Dover. How difficult is that? 2 points.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03Up Rampant Chocolate is a pointless answer.
0:31:03 > 0:31:07It's a big stately home, a big royal residence.
0:31:07 > 0:31:12It's Hampton Court Palace. That's a pointless answer.
0:31:12 > 0:31:16If anybody got that, I doff my cap to you. That's terrific work. Wow!
0:31:16 > 0:31:19Here comes your third question. This is the decider.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22Whoever wins this goes through to the final.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24It concerns...
0:31:25 > 0:31:28LAUGHTER Big Pointless favourites.
0:31:28 > 0:31:31Richard. Xander and I are big fans of One Direction,
0:31:31 > 0:31:33so I hope everyone's going to get all of these.
0:31:33 > 0:31:38At home, I hope there are a number of people who are going to get all five.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41We'll give you five clues to facts about One Direction.
0:31:41 > 0:31:45Can you give us the most obscure? Best of luck. Thanks, Richard.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48Let's reveal our five clues to facts about One Direction.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05I'll read those one last time.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21There we are. Five clues to facts about One Direction.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24Estelle and Kath, you go first.
0:32:24 > 0:32:28Is it Caroline Flack? It is. The one above is, erm,
0:32:28 > 0:32:31What Makes You Beautiful.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33OK, go for that one. OK.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36We think we know the bottom two,
0:32:36 > 0:32:39but the one we think that least people might know
0:32:39 > 0:32:44is the song that won Best British Single at The Brits,
0:32:44 > 0:32:47and we think that that is What Makes You Beautiful.
0:32:47 > 0:32:51What Makes You Beautiful, say Estelle and Kath.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54Sophie and Alex, the board is yours.
0:32:54 > 0:32:59Right. If there's one band you could've put up there which doesn't tick my box,
0:32:59 > 0:33:04it would probably be One Direction! Fortunately - Ssh!
0:33:04 > 0:33:06Don't say that! You'll get in such trouble!
0:33:06 > 0:33:09Sophie's quite a fan.
0:33:09 > 0:33:11I wouldn't go that far.
0:33:11 > 0:33:14I know one other answer on there,
0:33:14 > 0:33:17and so that's the one we're going to go for -
0:33:17 > 0:33:20'The Xtra Factor' host once romantically linked with Harry Styles
0:33:20 > 0:33:21as being Caroline Flack.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24Caroline Flack, says Sophie.
0:33:24 > 0:33:28So we have What Makes You Beautiful versus Caroline Flack.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30What Makes You Beautiful, say Estelle and Kath.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33Is that right and if it is, how many people said it?
0:33:34 > 0:33:37It's right.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43Oh, look at that! Brilliant!
0:33:43 > 0:33:474! That's a fantastic answer, Estelle and Kath.
0:33:47 > 0:33:494 for What Makes You Beautiful.
0:33:49 > 0:33:53Sophie and Alex, that's what you have to beat with Caroline Flack.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56Let's see how many people said it.
0:33:57 > 0:33:59It is right.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02It has to beat 4, though, if you're going to stay in the game.
0:34:02 > 0:34:07Still going... Oh, 16! APPLAUSE
0:34:08 > 0:34:10Very well done. That means, Estelle and Kath,
0:34:10 > 0:34:14after three questions, you are through to the final 2-1.
0:34:14 > 0:34:18Nothing you could've done there. What Makes You Beautiful was the best answer up there.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21The year the band competed in 'The X Factor'
0:34:21 > 0:34:24was 2010.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26Would've scored you 13 points.
0:34:26 > 0:34:29The number of bad members? Five, obviously.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32Would've scored you 46 points.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35The judge who mentored the band on the show?
0:34:35 > 0:34:37Simon Cowell, I think. It was Simon Cowell, yes.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39Would've scored you 12 points.
0:34:39 > 0:34:42What Makes You Beautiful sold five million copies worldwide.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44It sold three million in the US alone.
0:34:44 > 0:34:46That's a hit.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49Wow. Yep. Thanks very much indeed.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51I'm afraid, at the end of our head-to-head,
0:34:51 > 0:34:54the pair leaving us is going to be Sophie and Alex.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57You did very well. Three correct answers there,
0:34:57 > 0:35:00but I'm afraid they just really undercut you there!
0:35:00 > 0:35:04Capercaillie and What Makes You Beautiful just unbeatable answers there.
0:35:04 > 0:35:09I'm afraid we have to say goodbye to you for now, but we'll see you again next time.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12Thanks very much for playing. Meanwhile, Sophie and Alex...
0:35:12 > 0:35:14APPLAUSE
0:35:14 > 0:35:17But for Estelle and Kath, it's time for our Pointless final.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23Congratulations, Estelle and Kath.
0:35:23 > 0:35:27You've seen off all the competition and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:35 > 0:35:39At the end of today's show, it stands at £1,000.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41You kick this round off by picking a category.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44Here are your four choices. They are...
0:35:50 > 0:35:54Er... Well, I don't know anything about Sheffield.
0:35:54 > 0:35:58I work in Sheffield once a week but all I see is a train and then an office.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01I could probably have a go at US Politics.
0:36:01 > 0:36:04Could you? Probably not, no.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07For me, it's either Opera and I'll have a go,
0:36:07 > 0:36:09or US Politics and you'll have a go.
0:36:09 > 0:36:12Shall we try Opera? OK.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16I bow to your opera knowledge. Oh, dear!
0:36:16 > 0:36:17OK, you're going to go Opera. Yes.
0:36:17 > 0:36:21Richard, they're going with Opera! Good for you.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24When things like Sheffield come up, it's sort of the way to go
0:36:24 > 0:36:28because there's things hidden under those categories that you might like.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31Let's give you your three categories here.
0:36:31 > 0:36:35We're looking for any opera composed by Puccini,
0:36:35 > 0:36:37any opera composed by Rossini
0:36:37 > 0:36:40and any opera individual opera composed by Wagner.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43So Puccini, Rossini and Wagner operas.
0:36:43 > 0:36:45Very best of luck.
0:36:45 > 0:36:49Thanks very much indeed. You've got up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:36:49 > 0:36:53All you need, to win that jackpot, is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:36:53 > 0:36:58The answers you give can come from any of these categories.
0:36:58 > 0:37:02They can be from the same category, one from one, two from another, completely up to you.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04Are you ready? Yep.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07OK. Let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:37:07 > 0:37:08Your time starts now.
0:37:08 > 0:37:12Right, Puccini did La boheme, Madame Butterfly.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15Rossini did Barber of Seville.
0:37:15 > 0:37:20Wagner did The Ring, but that's going to be a really big answer. The Ring of the Nibelung?
0:37:20 > 0:37:23Did he do that? Der Ring des Nibelungen, something like that!
0:37:23 > 0:37:25Erm... Did he do Die Fledermaus,
0:37:25 > 0:37:28or is that a different Wagner? No, that's Mozart.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31Is it? I think so, yes.
0:37:31 > 0:37:32Oh, no, it's Strauss.
0:37:32 > 0:37:35Don't listen to me! Anyway, it's not them!
0:37:35 > 0:37:40So possibly best chance might be with Rossini, Barber of Seville.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42We've got... We might as well keep going.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45Puccini... Tristan and Isolde, is that Wagner?
0:37:45 > 0:37:48I don't know. Erm...
0:37:48 > 0:37:52Puccini wrote loads. La boheme you said, didn't you?
0:37:52 > 0:37:55In the Hall of the Mountain King, but that's not an opera, is it? No.
0:37:55 > 0:37:57Erm...
0:37:57 > 0:37:5910 seconds left. Turandot!
0:37:59 > 0:38:03Is that Rossini? That is Puccini. Puccini. Yep.
0:38:03 > 0:38:06So Turandot, Barber of Seville and...
0:38:06 > 0:38:09Let's go for a Wagner. Let's go for The Ring of the Nibelung.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11OK, that's your time up.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14I now need your three answers. What are you going to give me?
0:38:14 > 0:38:19Right, we're going to go for, er, Puccini operas,
0:38:19 > 0:38:21we're going to go for Turandot.
0:38:21 > 0:38:24Turandot. Probably pronounced very badly.
0:38:24 > 0:38:27And what was the other one? Barber of Seville.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29For Rossini, Barber of Seville. Barber of Seville.
0:38:29 > 0:38:31And for Wagner -
0:38:31 > 0:38:34Tristan and Isolde. Go on, have a guess.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36Tristan and Isolde.
0:38:36 > 0:38:39Of those three, which do you think is your best shot?
0:38:39 > 0:38:42I don't think any will be pointless, but we could try Turandot.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45We'll put Turandot last. Which is your least likely?
0:38:45 > 0:38:48Tristan and Isolde because I don't know if it's right!
0:38:48 > 0:38:52Tristan and Isolde we'll put first, and we'll put Barber of Seville in the middle.
0:38:52 > 0:38:57Let's put those up on the board in that order. We have got...
0:39:01 > 0:39:04Very, very best of luck.
0:39:04 > 0:39:06Let's take your first answer, Tristan and Isolde.
0:39:06 > 0:39:10You weren't sure if this was right.
0:39:10 > 0:39:14We will find out. If it is right and pointless, you'll be leaving here with £1,000.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16What would you do with that, Estelle?
0:39:16 > 0:39:18Er, it sounds very boring,
0:39:18 > 0:39:21but I'd buy a window for my house.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23Nothing boring about a window. Kath, how about you?
0:39:23 > 0:39:27I'd buy champagne. Excellent idea!
0:39:27 > 0:39:30And I'd help her drink it. No. I don't share.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32OK, well, very best of luck.
0:39:32 > 0:39:36Three good answers. Your first, Tristan and Isolde, let's see if that's right.
0:39:36 > 0:39:40If it is and it's pointless, it will win you the jackpot.
0:39:40 > 0:39:43For £1,000, let's find out if it is a Wagner opera.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47Yes, it is. Yay! Good answer.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50Tristan and Isolde very much a Wagner opera.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52Down it goes, through the 40s, through the 30s.
0:39:52 > 0:39:55If this goes all the way down to 0, you leave here with £1,000.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57It's in single figures!
0:39:57 > 0:39:594! APPLAUSE
0:40:03 > 0:40:06Good answer. Brilliant score.
0:40:06 > 0:40:10Now, your second answer was The Barber of Seville.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13Again, if it's right and pointless, it will win you that jackpot.
0:40:13 > 0:40:18For £1,000, let's find out if The Barber of Seville is a Rossini opera.
0:40:21 > 0:40:24It very much is. Your first answer, Tristan and Isolde,
0:40:24 > 0:40:26took you down to 4.
0:40:26 > 0:40:30The Barber of Seville taking you through the 20s, into the teens,
0:40:30 > 0:40:31into single figures...
0:40:31 > 0:40:347. APPLAUSE
0:40:36 > 0:40:397 for The Barber of Seville,
0:40:39 > 0:40:43which means everything is now riding on your last answer - Turandot.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46You were fairly confident about putting this one last.
0:40:46 > 0:40:49I don't think it'll be pointless, though. You don't?
0:40:49 > 0:40:52Well, only one way to find out. Let's see.
0:40:52 > 0:40:55If it is pointless, it will win you the jackpot.
0:40:55 > 0:41:00For £1,000, let's find out if Turandot is a Puccini opera.
0:41:01 > 0:41:03It's right.
0:41:03 > 0:41:06Tristan and Isolde took us down to 4.
0:41:06 > 0:41:10The Barber of Seville took us down to 7.
0:41:10 > 0:41:11Your final answer, Turandot,
0:41:11 > 0:41:14taking us down past... Ooh! To 3!
0:41:14 > 0:41:17APPLAUSE
0:41:21 > 0:41:24I tell you what, three brilliant answers there.
0:41:24 > 0:41:27I'm pretty sure if that minute had gone on a bit longer,
0:41:27 > 0:41:29you might've come across a pointless answer!
0:41:29 > 0:41:31Unfortunately, you didn't in the minute provided
0:41:31 > 0:41:35so I'm afraid the jackpot of £1,000 will not be yours today.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37That will rollover.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40We have loved having you on the show and you have done so well!
0:41:40 > 0:41:44You do, of course, get to take home a Pointless trophy each, so very well done.
0:41:44 > 0:41:47BOTH: Thank you. APPLAUSE
0:41:48 > 0:41:50Richard...
0:41:50 > 0:41:53Very well played. You got one from each category, which was nice.
0:41:53 > 0:41:58Let's take a look at some of the pointless answers and hope there's none you recognise.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00Puccini operas... Edgar.
0:42:00 > 0:42:02Gianni Schicchi would've been pointless.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05La rondine. Manon Lescaut was pointless,
0:42:05 > 0:42:08as were Il tabarro and Suor Angelica.
0:42:08 > 0:42:11All of those were pointless. Well done if you said any of those.
0:42:11 > 0:42:13For Rossini...
0:42:19 > 0:42:22Well done if you said any of those. Some people may've got a couple.
0:42:22 > 0:42:24And Wagner...
0:42:24 > 0:42:28Das Liebesverbot, based on Measure for Measure.
0:42:28 > 0:42:31Rienzi, The Fairies and The Mastersingers of Nuremberg.
0:42:31 > 0:42:35All those pointless answers. You could've also had Tannhauser for Wagner, as well.
0:42:35 > 0:42:39I hope people at home got some of those. Sorry you didn't here.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42You've done so well. We do have to say goodbye to you.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44Thank you so much for playing.
0:42:44 > 0:42:48Great contestants. Estelle and Kath! BOTH: Thank you.
0:42:49 > 0:42:53Sadly, they didn't win our jackpot, which means it rolls over,
0:42:53 > 0:42:56when we will be playing for £2,000.
0:42:56 > 0:42:58APPLAUSE
0:42:59 > 0:43:03Join us next time. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard... Bye.
0:43:03 > 0:43:06..and it's goodbye from me. Goodbye. APPLAUSE
