0:00:20 > 0:00:24CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:24 > 0:00:26Thank you very much. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong
0:00:26 > 0:00:30and welcome to Pointless, the quiz show where the aim is to score as few points as you can.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33To do that, you need to come up with answers no-one else can think of.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Let's meet today's players.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37APPLAUSE
0:00:39 > 0:00:40And couple number one.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43Hi, I'm Jonny and this is my friend Gahit, and we're from east London.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45- Couple number two.- Hi, I'm Jason.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48This is my fiancee Sandra, and we're from West Wickham in Kent.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50- Couple number three.- Hi, I'm Sophie.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52This is my mum Jan, and we're from East Sussex.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55- And finally, couple number four.- Hi, I'm Chris. This is my dad Laurence,
0:00:55 > 0:00:58- and we've come from Preston. - And these are today's contestants.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00APPLAUSE
0:01:00 > 0:01:04Thanks, all of you. We'll find out more about you throughout the show as it goes along.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06That just leaves one person for me to introduce.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Give a man a fact and he'll look clever for a day.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Teach a man to find facts and... Well, just look what happens.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14- It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.- Hiya.
0:01:14 > 0:01:15APPLAUSE
0:01:15 > 0:01:16Hi, everybody.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22- How are you?- I'm very well, thank you.- What a lovely show last time.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24We had Keith and Lee, who were terrific throughout,
0:01:24 > 0:01:27very good pair, and they sailed through the jackpot round.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30They did terrifically well, gave us so many pointless answers,
0:01:30 > 0:01:32in the end only nominated one, but took home the jackpot,
0:01:32 > 0:01:33on a darts player as well,
0:01:33 > 0:01:36so they were delighted. It was a really good show.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Coming back from that show, we've got Jan and Sophie.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40We didn't see quite so much of Jan and Sophie as we'd like
0:01:40 > 0:01:43because we gave them a horrible Round Two question,
0:01:43 > 0:01:45and we've also got Laurence and Chris as well,
0:01:45 > 0:01:48who'll want to go one step further than last time, I suspect.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52But Round One, I tell you now, it's going to cause trouble.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56- OK.- I tell you already, it's going to be trouble.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58OK... Thanks very much, Richard.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01All our questions on Pointless have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05Contestants need to find the obscure answers those 100 people didn't get.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Everyone's trying to find a pointless answer,
0:02:07 > 0:02:09an answer that none of our 100 people gave,
0:02:09 > 0:02:12and each time that happens, we will add 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14Keith and Lee won the jackpot last time,
0:02:14 > 0:02:17so today's jackpot starts off back at £1,000.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22APPLAUSE
0:02:24 > 0:02:26OK, in this first round, I'll take an answer from each of you,
0:02:26 > 0:02:28but there is to be no conferring.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31Whichever pair has the highest score at the end of the round
0:02:31 > 0:02:34will be heading home, so do what you can to make sure that's not you.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38OK, our first category today is Chemistry.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Chemistry. Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:02:42 > 0:02:43who's going to go second?
0:02:43 > 0:02:46And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:48 > 0:02:53OK, and the question concerns chemical compounds.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Chemical compounds. Richard.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59On each pass, we'll give you seven formulas for chemical compounds.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02We need you to tell us the name of the elements that make up that compound, please.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Sometimes there's two, sometimes three. You'll see the formula.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08We need the name of the individual elements that make up the compounds.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11There'll be 14 in all to have a go at at home.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13- Very best of luck. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16We're looking for the names of all the individual elements that make up
0:03:16 > 0:03:19these chemical compounds, and here is our first board of seven.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21We have got...
0:03:29 > 0:03:31I'll read those all one last time.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45OK, now then, Gahit and Jonny, you all drew lots before the show today.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48You are going to go first. Jonny, welcome to Pointless.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Good to have you here. Jonny, what do you do?
0:03:50 > 0:03:53I work in the glamorous world of higher education, as a PA.
0:03:53 > 0:03:58- To whom are you PA?- To the dean of the school.- Wow, that's fun.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00Now, is that the dean who's in charge of discipline?
0:04:00 > 0:04:02- The top dog. - OK, so you send out all the memos
0:04:02 > 0:04:06- saying said people have been naughty...- Yeah, been naughty...
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Summoned to the Dean's office. What do you do in your spare time, Jonny?
0:04:09 > 0:04:11I'm a big music fan,
0:04:11 > 0:04:13film, theatre, reading.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15- Not chemistry.- Not chemistry.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18I wouldn't even know where to start there.
0:04:18 > 0:04:19I'm going to take a wild guess,
0:04:19 > 0:04:21and I'm really sorry, Gahit,
0:04:21 > 0:04:23CaO,
0:04:23 > 0:04:25calcium and oxygen.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28CaO, calcium and oxygen.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32Sounds perfectly reasonable to me. Let's see if that's right, though,
0:04:32 > 0:04:35and if so, let see how many people said calcium and oxygen for CaO.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38It is right. Very well done, Jonny.
0:04:42 > 0:04:4427. There you are. Great score.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46APPLAUSE
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Maybe this is easier than I thought.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52- Well played, Johnny. You're a relieved-looking man there.- Yeah!
0:04:52 > 0:04:56The compound itself is calcium oxide, which we also know as quicklime.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59- Nice. I like it when a compound has a nickname.- Yeah, exactly.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02It makes it a bit more pally, more friendly. I like that. Quicklime.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05- Yeah, exactly.- See, quicklime, very happy with that.- That's easy.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07- Calcium oxide, I'm a bit...- Whoa!
0:05:07 > 0:05:08- I'm a bit on edge.- Yeah.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12- Thank you. Now, Jason, welcome to Pointless.- Thank you.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Good to have you here. What do you do, Jason?
0:05:14 > 0:05:17- I work for a housing association. - In what capacity? What's your...?
0:05:17 > 0:05:20I pretty much support the business by writing all our policy
0:05:20 > 0:05:23- and procedure documents and giving advice.- I see.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26When you're not doing that, Jason, what do you like to get up to?
0:05:26 > 0:05:29I currently, I'm trying to train and do mixed martial arts...
0:05:29 > 0:05:31- Mixed martial arts? - Mixed martial arts.
0:05:31 > 0:05:32Is that a sort of pick and mix?
0:05:32 > 0:05:35- Yeah, because one would just be boring.- Wouldn't it?- Yeah.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38But how does the person you're fighting know
0:05:38 > 0:05:40- which of the many martial arts you are...- That's the point, you see.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43That's how it's clever. They don't.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45But I'm not that good either, so...
0:05:45 > 0:05:47So you go off down a tae kwon do route,
0:05:47 > 0:05:49and then suddenly, muay thai!
0:05:49 > 0:05:50LAUGHTER
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Yeah. Pretty much.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55You'll, I hope, have approved my move, my manoeuvre there.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58- Technique was flawless. - It was flawless, yeah!
0:05:58 > 0:06:00OK, Jason, how's your chemistry?
0:06:00 > 0:06:01Uh... I did it at school,
0:06:01 > 0:06:04and haven't touched it since. Um...
0:06:06 > 0:06:09I think KCl will be
0:06:09 > 0:06:11potassium and chlorine.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13KCl, potassium and chlorine.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Let's see if that's right, potassium and chlorine.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19It is absolutely right.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Well played, Jason.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Well, 27 is our low score at the moment. You've passed that.
0:06:24 > 0:06:2518!
0:06:25 > 0:06:28APPLAUSE
0:06:30 > 0:06:32- Potassium and chlorine. - Very well played, Jason.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35Potassium chloride is the compound,
0:06:35 > 0:06:37and the nickname for that is Big Steve.
0:06:37 > 0:06:38LAUGHTER
0:06:38 > 0:06:41- You see, nicer?- Yeah, it's lovely, very friendly.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Not that nice, Big Steve, cos Big Steve can be quite threatening.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Big Steve, well, only if you add alcohol.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49- Never do that.- Thanks very much.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51- Now, Jan, welcome back.- Thank you.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Tell us what happened last time.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55I invented a tennis player.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59That's right! We served up tennis for you.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01And you gave us Assaggi.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05- Yes.- There's actually a very good restaurant in London called Assaggi.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07- It is, isn't it? - It's a really good restaurant.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10My mouth is now watering even at the memory of Assaggi.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13We should go to Assaggi after this. Is it As-sah-gy or As-saggy?
0:07:13 > 0:07:15I've never known. As-sag-aye
0:07:15 > 0:07:18- or assegai, I think you say. - Whatever way you want to do it.- OK.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Now then, Jan,
0:07:20 > 0:07:24so what are the elements that make up these chemical compounds?
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Well, chemistry is
0:07:27 > 0:07:29slightly worse than my tennis.
0:07:29 > 0:07:30- LAUGHTER - So...
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Jan, can I just say, factually, that's impossible.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35LAUGHTER
0:07:36 > 0:07:38I'm afraid it's not.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43Um, I don't actually know any of them,
0:07:43 > 0:07:45so I'm going to have to guess, um...
0:07:47 > 0:07:50LiCN, lichmun and carbon.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Lichmun...carbon.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57- LiCN. Lichmun carbon. - STIFLED LAUGHTER
0:07:57 > 0:07:59- OK.- Let's see that's right,
0:07:59 > 0:08:02and if it is, let's see how many people said lichmun carbon for LiCN.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06It's...
0:08:06 > 0:08:08I don't know how that's wrong, but somehow it is!
0:08:08 > 0:08:11Lichmun carbon, I'm afraid, an incorrect answer, Jan,
0:08:11 > 0:08:13scoring you the maximum of 100 points. I'm sorry.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16Now, one of two things has happened here, Jan.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Either you've just made up an element,
0:08:18 > 0:08:22or while we've been talking, you've just discovered a brand-new element.
0:08:22 > 0:08:23And if you have,
0:08:23 > 0:08:26that's the first time that's ever happened on Pointless.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28- Yeah.- You never know what's behind those podiums.
0:08:30 > 0:08:31We do, actually, yeah.
0:08:31 > 0:08:36Let's hope there are some lichmun deposits around, I have to say.
0:08:36 > 0:08:37LAUGHTER
0:08:37 > 0:08:41- Yeah, interesting. Thanks very much indeed. Now, Chris.- Hello.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Chris, hello to you. Tell us what happened last time with you.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48- Last time we managed to get through to the head-to-head.- Yeah.
0:08:48 > 0:08:49Which we were pleased about.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Unfortunately, we didn't quite make it through to the final.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55- Hoping to do a bit better this time. - Hoping to do better. Now, Chris,
0:08:55 > 0:08:56remind us what you do.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Uh...I work in business services.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Let's leave it at that, shall we?
0:09:00 > 0:09:04We got into terrible trouble trying to work out what you did last time,
0:09:04 > 0:09:07- and to be honest, you didn't help us much!- No, sorry.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10In your spare time, what do you get up to, Chris? What are your hobbies?
0:09:10 > 0:09:12We know about your footballing prowess.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16Yeah, you've heard about that. I won't go on any further about it.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18If anyone would like to see it, press the red button now.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21The last show is probably still on iPlayer, isn't it?
0:09:21 > 0:09:24It is, yes, and if you get through to about five minutes,
0:09:24 > 0:09:26and watch until about 47 minutes,
0:09:26 > 0:09:30you'll get quite a lot of Chris's footballing.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32- I'll try and keep it shorter this time.- Yeah.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35I volunteer at the youth club at my church
0:09:35 > 0:09:39and I have been known to pick up a guitar and annoy my friends with it.
0:09:39 > 0:09:40- By playing.- By playing it? OK,
0:09:40 > 0:09:43not by, not by tickling them with the fretboard.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47Now, then, what are you going to go for on this board, Chris?
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Well, I do know a number of them,
0:09:49 > 0:09:52I think. The top one, I believe, is silicon oxide,
0:09:52 > 0:09:54then we've got lead sulphide.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57I believe the next two are mercury and selenium,
0:09:57 > 0:09:59but that's the one I'm not sure of,
0:09:59 > 0:10:01then we've got lithium, carbon and nitrogen,
0:10:01 > 0:10:04and gold iodide.
0:10:04 > 0:10:09- Wow, so he's not going with the lichmun.- Not going with lichmun.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12OK, what are you going to go for?
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Of those, which do you think will be the lowest score?
0:10:14 > 0:10:16By the way, I'm impressed so far.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18I don't know if any of those are correct,
0:10:18 > 0:10:19but it sounds pretty plausible.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22I feel like I'd kick myself if I went for it and it was wrong,
0:10:22 > 0:10:26or I didn't go for it and it was right, so I'm going to go for...
0:10:27 > 0:10:28..mercury selenium.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Which is...
0:10:30 > 0:10:31HgSe.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35HgSe, mercury selenium, says Chris.
0:10:35 > 0:10:36Let's see if that's right, and if it is,
0:10:36 > 0:10:39let's see how many of our 100 people said mercury and selenium.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43It's right! Very well done indeed.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48Down it does, shooting past all our other answers.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50Brilliant, very well done, Chris.
0:10:50 > 0:10:51That's a very good score.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53APPLAUSE
0:10:53 > 0:10:565 for mercury and selenium.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Terrific work, Chris. Very well done.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00He means business today, Chris, doesn't he?
0:11:00 > 0:11:03- You ever seen a more relieved-looking father?- No!
0:11:03 > 0:11:07And you took us through the board perfectly as well. Very well done.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Silicon and oxygen up at the top there
0:11:09 > 0:11:11would have scored you 20 points.
0:11:11 > 0:11:12Lead and sulphur
0:11:12 > 0:11:15would have scored you 25 points.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17You were right about lithium, carbon and nitrogen.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19That would have scored you 10,
0:11:19 > 0:11:20and at the bottom, gold and iodine,
0:11:20 > 0:11:22it's the best answer on the board,
0:11:22 > 0:11:24actually, down at the bottom.
0:11:24 > 0:11:25What is gold iodide?
0:11:25 > 0:11:27It's a compound of gold and iodine.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29That would be my answer as well.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32It's actually gold monoiodide, but...
0:11:32 > 0:11:36Yes, now it makes perfect sense, yes, the monoiodide.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38- Yes.- Yeah, so... Yeah, exactly.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40- Yes.- So you would go to the pub,
0:11:40 > 0:11:43you'd say, "Can I get a pint of gold monoiodide?"
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Take it home very carefully, quite expensive.
0:11:45 > 0:11:50- They say, "That'll be 400 million, please." "Thank you."- There you are.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53Thank you anyway, Richard. We're halfway through the round.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Let's look at the scores. 5 the best score of that pass.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58Very well deserved, Chris. Fantastic chemistry knowledge.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01Then we travel up to 18 where we find Jason and Sandra,
0:12:01 > 0:12:03up to 27 where we find Jonny and Gahit,
0:12:03 > 0:12:06and then up to 100 where we find Jan and Sophie.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08Now, Sophie, you are a long way ahead.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11Luckily, I think you're going to be red hot on this.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13- LAUGHTER - Ready?
0:12:13 > 0:12:14- Mm-hm(!)- I don't believe you.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17I think you'll be absolutely brilliant on this. Best of luck.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19We're coming back down the line.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:12:23 > 0:12:26OK, let's put seven more chemical compounds on the board
0:12:26 > 0:12:27and here they come.
0:12:27 > 0:12:28We have got...
0:12:40 > 0:12:41I'll read those one last time.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53Now then, we are looking for the individual elements
0:12:53 > 0:12:55that make up these chemical compounds.
0:12:55 > 0:13:00Laurence, you've got a fantastic head start courtesy of Chris.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02- I need it!- Laurence, I'm going to commend you on your shirt.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05We had a cracking shirt from you last time.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07Are they brother shirts, sister shirts,
0:13:07 > 0:13:09do they come from the same collection, or are...?
0:13:09 > 0:13:11- Probably cousins.- They're cousins.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14- Not from the same place?- No.- Do you remember where that one came from?
0:13:14 > 0:13:18- Is it from abroad?- This one might be from Portugal.- Very nice.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21- Yes, it does... It does look Portuguese, now he says that.- Mm.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25- Yeah, I can confirm that.- What do you do with your time, Laurence?
0:13:25 > 0:13:29My wife and I like to go narrow boating. I also like horse racing.
0:13:29 > 0:13:33Do you go to the races a lot, or do you just follow it?
0:13:33 > 0:13:34No, I've been a few times.
0:13:34 > 0:13:39I did once win a phone-in quiz, a phone-in competition, rather,
0:13:39 > 0:13:42where you phoned in and if you were successful,
0:13:42 > 0:13:45- the company put £500 on a horse for you.- Wow!
0:13:45 > 0:13:49- And the horse obliged at 8-1.- Ooh!
0:13:49 > 0:13:52- Is that the biggest win you ever had?- Oh, yes, by a long way.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56Wow, good stuff. Now then, are you going to win big on this board?
0:13:56 > 0:13:58- There is another Tim Wonnacott segue.- That's really good.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01- That's good, isn't it?- Is that your impression of Tim Wonnacott?
0:14:01 > 0:14:04I wasn't really putting my all into that, I'll be honest.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07- RICHARD LAUGHS - Do you want to see it?- Yeah.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09I don't know, I haven't really done it before.
0:14:09 > 0:14:14- AS TIM WONNACOTT:- The big question is, though, are you going to win big on this board?
0:14:14 > 0:14:16LAUGHTER
0:14:19 > 0:14:21- How's that?- Yeah, it's terrific.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24If you know who Tim Wonnacott is, it's very good.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27- There we are. Laurence?- It's a long time since I did chemistry.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33I would go for CuCl, copper chloride.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36Copper and chlorine, says Laurence. Well, you are on 5.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39If you can score 94 or less, you'll avoid becoming the new high scorers.
0:14:39 > 0:14:40Here's your red line.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Get below that...you're home and dry. Let's see.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46Copper and chlorine, is that right for CuCl?
0:14:47 > 0:14:49Well done. And you're through.
0:14:54 > 0:14:5514.
0:14:55 > 0:14:56APPLAUSE
0:14:56 > 0:14:5819 your total there, Laurence.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02Well played, Laurence, a very good answer
0:15:02 > 0:15:04from someone who sounded so nervous, I have to say.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07Yes, terrific answer. Copper chloride, that makes.
0:15:07 > 0:15:11Thanks very much indeed. Now then, Sophie, welcome back to Pointless.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15We really haven't served up your ideal subjects.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17What would have been perfect for you, Sophie?
0:15:17 > 0:15:24- Pop music, TV, something frivolous. - Yeah.- But not this.- Not this.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26When did you last do chemistry?
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Supposedly, when I was at school,
0:15:28 > 0:15:32but I spent most of my school lessons passing notes and gossiping.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35- I didn't pay much attention in chemistry.- You see?
0:15:35 > 0:15:39I don't really recognise anything up there, so... Whoops!
0:15:39 > 0:15:41OK, well, you are the high scorers,
0:15:41 > 0:15:45so what are the elements that make up these chemical compounds?
0:15:45 > 0:15:49Yeah... I think we are going to be part of the 200 club as well. I'm...
0:15:49 > 0:15:51I have a vague recollection that Fe might be iron,
0:15:51 > 0:15:54although I don't know, so I'll go for that one,
0:15:54 > 0:15:59FeS2, and guess that it's iron and...
0:16:00 > 0:16:04- ..sulphur, something like that? - Iron and sulphur, says Sophie.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06Iron and sulphur for FeS2. Let's see if that's right.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08No red line for you.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Let's see, though, how far down the column that goes. Iron and sulphur.
0:16:13 > 0:16:14It's right!
0:16:18 > 0:16:21It's a good answer. 26. Very well done, Sophie.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23APPLAUSE
0:16:23 > 0:16:24126 is your total.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27Now, you MIGHT still be in with a shout, you never know.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30- That might be JUST enough. - Yeah, well done, Sophie.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34If that sees you through, that will be one chemistry lesson you paid attention to, terrific.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36- Iron disulphide.- Yeah. - I don't need to tell you, right?
0:16:36 > 0:16:39You don't need to tell me about iron disulphide!
0:16:39 > 0:16:43- Yeah.- Now then, Sandra. Sandra, welcome to Pointless.- I know...
0:16:43 > 0:16:45- Listen, I have wonderful news for you.- I know!
0:16:45 > 0:16:47Wonderful news, you are through to the next round.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50- Is chemistry a friend to you? - It is not a friend!
0:16:50 > 0:16:55- I haven't touched it for 21 years. - What do you do, Sandra?
0:16:55 > 0:16:58I work... This is how I met Jason, I work for a housing association too.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01I'm a housing officer, so I'm meant to follow his rules, but...
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Is he a good person to work for?
0:17:03 > 0:17:05I work in a regional office. He's at head office
0:17:05 > 0:17:08and I'm in a regional office, so we don't have a lot of...
0:17:08 > 0:17:12- That's probably as it should be. - The best way to be.- No, that's good.
0:17:12 > 0:17:17- How is your sort of loose memory of chemistry?- I think I know two.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20But...I could be making them up.
0:17:20 > 0:17:26But I will go for, which I believe is PtCl2, as potassium and chloride.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28OK, potassium and chloride, says Sandra.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30No red line for you - you are already through,
0:17:30 > 0:17:32but let's see if that's right for PtCl2.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37- Oh!- It sounded good. - They do sound good.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40We'll discover why that's wrong, but evidently it is.
0:17:40 > 0:17:41That takes your total up to 118.
0:17:41 > 0:17:42It sounded really good.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45It sounded really good when we had it on the last board as well.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Oh, did we? Shame on me!
0:17:47 > 0:17:50That was KCl, potassium chloride.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53- That wasn't your answer, was it?- It was.- Oh, it was his answer!- Yeah.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55LAUGHTER
0:17:56 > 0:18:00- Oh, well.- Well...- There we are. - A good way to introduce myself!
0:18:00 > 0:18:04- Gahit, welcome to the show. - Thank you.- Great to have you here.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Now, you are all but through to the next round.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09It all rides on you getting a correct answer.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13This is actually very, very exciting. The high scorers on 126 are Sophie and Jan.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16You are on 27, so 98 or less gets you through, but it has to be right.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18What do you do, Gahit?
0:18:18 > 0:18:20I work for a big publisher as a program manager.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23OK. What are your fascinations when you are not doing that?
0:18:23 > 0:18:26Well, I've got a bit of a Lego obsession,
0:18:26 > 0:18:28- so I like building Lego models. - Really?- Yes.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Nowadays, it seems you can only sort of buy...
0:18:30 > 0:18:33When we were little, we had massive boxes full of Lego
0:18:33 > 0:18:34that you could do what you liked.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37- Now you kind of buy Lego to make sets.- Yes.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39So do you buy sets or do you buy just all the kit
0:18:39 > 0:18:40and make anything you like?
0:18:40 > 0:18:42I'm probably not clever enough to make my own,
0:18:42 > 0:18:44but I follow instructions and make sets.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47Yeah, no, I do all our children's Lego building.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50- Theoretically, they help me! - LAUGHTER
0:18:50 > 0:18:52- No way! No, you can't have them helping!- No.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Because they'll put stuff in the wrong place.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58"What are you doing? No, no, no! You can help me by sitting there!"
0:18:58 > 0:19:00For eight hours while I finish this.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02And every so often you go, "Oh, I'm looking for one of those,
0:19:02 > 0:19:05"I'm looking for one of those. (It's there.) Look, where is it?
0:19:05 > 0:19:07"Oh, it looks like that. (It's there.) No, there!
0:19:07 > 0:19:10"Thank you very much indeed. Thank you." That's helping, isn't it?
0:19:10 > 0:19:13- Oh, I love it.- What's the best thing you've built from Lego?
0:19:13 > 0:19:17- I've got a Lego VW camper van, which is a brilliant...- Full-size?
0:19:17 > 0:19:20- Yeah, I was going to say... - I wish! No, it's about that big.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22- That'll do.- But it's brilliant. - Pretty good.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Very detailed, I like that.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26So we are looking for the individual elements
0:19:26 > 0:19:28that make up these chemical compounds.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30There's two up there I thought I knew.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32- LAUGHING:- One of them was the potassium chloride answer.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35The only other one I think I might know is the top one,
0:19:35 > 0:19:39so HBr, hydrogen bromine?
0:19:39 > 0:19:40OK, hydrogen and bromine, says Gahit.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said it.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46Here's your red line. Up it goes. Is it right? That's the key question.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50It's right! Very well done! Phew!
0:19:55 > 0:19:588! That's a great answer! Great score, Gahit, well done.
0:19:58 > 0:20:018 takes your total up to 35.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04Well played, Gahit. Nice way to finish the round.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07I thought that round would cause more trouble than it did, I have to say.
0:20:07 > 0:20:08As soon as that board came up looking like
0:20:08 > 0:20:11an international departures lounge, I thought we'd be in trouble.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14Let's go through the ones that we haven't done yet.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16Silver, nitrogen and oxygen there, second one down,
0:20:16 > 0:20:18would have scored 15.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20It is platinum and chlorine, the second one down.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23Platinum, not potassium. Potassium is K. 2 points for that.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26We've got beryllium and fluorine.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Would have scored 4 points.
0:20:28 > 0:20:29And right at the bottom, there,
0:20:29 > 0:20:31barium and sulphur. We've had a lot of sulphur.
0:20:31 > 0:20:335 points for that.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35So platinum chloride is the best answer on that board.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38And that's what you put in a really posh swimming pool, isn't it?
0:20:38 > 0:20:40Yeah, platinum chlorine, yeah.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42- It's like the best. - Yeah, it's amazing.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47Well, at the end of that round, I'm sorry to say, Jan and Sophie...
0:20:47 > 0:20:50We gave you tennis last time and this time
0:20:50 > 0:20:53we've only gone and given you chemical compounds. I'm sorry.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55We could given you much nicer things.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58What a terrible welcome that was to Pointless.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Anyway, it's been lovely. Sorry we have to say goodbye,
0:21:00 > 0:21:03- but Sophie and Jan, thanks for playing.- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:21:03 > 0:21:04APPLAUSE
0:21:04 > 0:21:07But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:21:13 > 0:21:14So, three pairs remain.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16Obviously, at the end of this round,
0:21:16 > 0:21:18we'll be saying goodbye to another pair.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20Very well performed there, Gahit and Jonny.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23I think you did very, very well, considering neither of you
0:21:23 > 0:21:25- was particularly confident. - Not at all.- Not at all.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28Jason... Sandra, let's try not to give the same answer
0:21:28 > 0:21:29- as Jason this time, eh? - LAUGHTER
0:21:29 > 0:21:32But, Chris and Laurence, once again, our lowest-scoring pair
0:21:32 > 0:21:33and, in fact, Chris
0:21:33 > 0:21:35our lowest-scoring individual contestant,
0:21:35 > 0:21:37so very well done over there on that last podium.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40I think this will be close. The best of luck to all three pairs.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43Our category for Round Two is...
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Directors.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48Can you decide who is going to go first, who is going to go second?
0:21:48 > 0:21:51And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:22:02 > 0:22:04..as they could.
0:22:04 > 0:22:05Spielberg films since 1990, Richard.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08We are looking for the name of any full-length feature film
0:22:08 > 0:22:10made for cinema release for which
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Steven Spielberg received a director's credit
0:22:12 > 0:22:13from the beginning of 1990
0:22:13 > 0:22:15all the way through to February 2013, please. Best of luck.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17OK. Thanks very much.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21Looking for any film directed by Steven Spielberg since 1990.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24Gahit, you are going to go first.
0:22:24 > 0:22:25Now, films, it's a thing people ask for
0:22:25 > 0:22:27again and again and again on Pointless.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30Everyone says it's the category they'd be most happy with.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33- Is that going to be fair for you? - It should be.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35I go to the cinema a lot, I'm a big cinema fan.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38And I've got lots of Spielberg films in my head right now,
0:22:38 > 0:22:40but I'm not sure how low they will score.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42So I'm going to say AI.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45AI, says Gahit. AI. Let's see if that's right
0:22:45 > 0:22:48and, if it is, how many of our 100 people said AI.
0:22:50 > 0:22:51It's right.
0:22:57 > 0:23:014! Very well done, Gahit! That's a great answer. 4 for AI.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06Well played, Gahit.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Yeah, originally developed by Stanley Kubrick
0:23:08 > 0:23:11but he handed it over to Spielberg in 1995.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15Thanks very much indeed. Now, Jason, is this good for you?
0:23:15 > 0:23:16I thought films would be.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19My mind has kind of gone blank with Spielberg films.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Some are coming into my head that I think are before then.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25It was such a good score, I think I've got to try and...
0:23:25 > 0:23:28maybe try and follow it, so I'm going to go with...
0:23:28 > 0:23:30- Amistad.- Amistad!
0:23:30 > 0:23:31After all that preamble, Jason,
0:23:31 > 0:23:34- I was expecting something really much less obscure.- Sorry.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36That, that is a good answer. I think!
0:23:36 > 0:23:39Amistad. Let's find out, is it right and, if so, how many people said it?
0:23:41 > 0:23:42It is right.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45Gahit's low score of 4 currently looking very good indeed.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48Let's see what Amistad does to it.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Look at that! A pointless answer, Jason!
0:23:51 > 0:23:53Very well done indeed.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57That adds £250 to today's jackpot, takes the total up to £1,250.
0:23:57 > 0:24:01It scores you nothing. Very well done indeed, Jason.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04That's a brilliant answer, Jason. Very, very well played.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07Yeah, from 1997, Amistad. That's why it got no points.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11I missed dat, you missed dat... LAUGHTER
0:24:11 > 0:24:16- Chris?- Well, the pressure is on. - It sure is! Yeah, look at that!
0:24:16 > 0:24:194 and 0. Is this good for you, Chris?
0:24:19 > 0:24:21There was one that came into my head that I think,
0:24:21 > 0:24:24after the two good scores, I may as well have a go with.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28I'm going to say...Simone.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30OK, so Chris is saying Simone.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said Simone.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Oh, no! Bad luck, Chris!
0:24:36 > 0:24:38You were doing something very, very clever there,
0:24:38 > 0:24:41very sensible, proper, good Pointless tactics,
0:24:41 > 0:24:43but I'm afraid an incorrect answer
0:24:43 > 0:24:45scores you the maximum of 100 points. I'm sorry.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48Yeah, sorry, Chris. You had to go low, you knew you had to.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51Yeah, not a Spielberg film. Al Pacino was in it.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53It is S1m0ne, a play on Sim One.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56Thank you. Now, OK, we're halfway through the round.
0:24:56 > 0:24:57Let's look at those scores.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00Jason and Sandra, very, very strong indeed in that pass.
0:25:00 > 0:25:01A lovely low score of 0,
0:25:01 > 0:25:04then up to 4 where Gahit and Jonny are to be found
0:25:04 > 0:25:06and then, very brave, Chris,
0:25:06 > 0:25:08but I'm afraid, as I said, incorrect.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10That scores you 100 points.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12That's put you a long way ahead of the field.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15Now, Laurence, I'm not even going to ask the question.
0:25:15 > 0:25:16I think I've got my answer there.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19We'll come back down the line now. Best of luck, Laurence.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Will the second players please step up to the podium?
0:25:24 > 0:25:26OK, so we are looking for films directed by Steven Spielberg
0:25:26 > 0:25:28released since 1990.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32Laurence, you are on a lovely high score there of 100.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36Yeah, I know all the obvious ones, I think they will be too high.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38We'll try...
0:25:38 > 0:25:40War Horse.
0:25:40 > 0:25:41War Horse, says Laurence.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43No red line for you as you are the high scorers,
0:25:43 > 0:25:46but let's see if that's right and how many people said War Horse.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49It's right.
0:25:54 > 0:25:566!
0:25:56 > 0:25:59Not bad, Laurence. Not a bad score at all.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02106, though, is your total.
0:26:02 > 0:26:03It's a really good answer, Laurence,
0:26:03 > 0:26:05but it's not going to be good enough, I'm afraid.
0:26:05 > 0:26:0914 different horses played the role in the film,
0:26:09 > 0:26:11- including one horse who also played Seabiscuit.- No!
0:26:11 > 0:26:15- Yeah.- That was a long time ago. That's a veteran actor.- Yeah, it is.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18Finder is the name of the horse. Very much the Morgan Freeman of...
0:26:18 > 0:26:20Yes, of the equine acting world.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23Yeah. Thanks very much indeed. Now then, Sandra?
0:26:23 > 0:26:25Listen, you're through. This is good. This is great news.
0:26:25 > 0:26:30As you can see, I'm just the baggage here. He is the brains, I'm the...
0:26:30 > 0:26:32- whatever I am.- Well, listen,
0:26:32 > 0:26:36- War Horse scored only 6. - I know.- This is good news.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39There's a couple in my head, but it's just thinking of dates
0:26:39 > 0:26:41and whether they are from 1990, but I'm going to...
0:26:41 > 0:26:44- I'm going to just say Schindler's List.- Schindler's List, says Sandra.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47Let's see if that's right. No red line, as you are already through,
0:26:47 > 0:26:49but let's see how many people said it.
0:26:56 > 0:27:0127 for Schindler's List. Takes your total up to 27.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04Well played, Sandra. Amistad would have been a better answer, though,
0:27:04 > 0:27:06Surprised you didn't go for that.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09Yeah, it's from 1993. It's the first black-and-white film
0:27:09 > 0:27:12- to win a Best Picture Oscar since 1960.- Thanks very much indeed.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14Now, Jonny. You are also through
0:27:14 > 0:27:16to the head-to-head.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19So we want any Steven Spielberg film since 1990.
0:27:19 > 0:27:20Yeah, I've got a couple.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22As we're through I'll take a bit of a punt.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25I think you should. Let's try and get another pointless answer.
0:27:25 > 0:27:30Pretty sure he directed a really bad film called Munich.
0:27:30 > 0:27:35- Munich. Sounds good. What d'you think, Jason?- It's feasible.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39Let's see if it is feasible. Let's see if it's correct. Munich.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43How many people said it? You're already through so no red line.
0:27:43 > 0:27:44It's right!
0:27:45 > 0:27:48Amistad took us all the way down to pointless.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50Let's see if Munich can do the same.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52Yes, it does! Very well done indeed, Jonny.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55A pointless answer which adds
0:27:55 > 0:27:57another £250 to today's jackpot,
0:27:57 > 0:28:00takes the total up to £1,500 and scores you nothing.
0:28:00 > 0:28:04And it leaves your total at 4. Very well played indeed, Jonny.
0:28:04 > 0:28:05- Fantastic.- Terrific work, Jonny.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07We've had two pointless answers now,
0:28:07 > 0:28:09and there's only three on the whole list.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11So well done if you said either of those two, or...
0:28:13 > 0:28:16The Terminal, the Tom Hanks film, the other pointless answer on the list.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18Amistad, Munich and The Terminal. 16 films in all on the list.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21Other low scorers, The Adventures of Tintin would have scored you one,
0:28:21 > 0:28:23Minority Report and Hook,
0:28:23 > 0:28:25they both would have scored you one point as well.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27You'd have got two points for The Lost World: Jurassic Park
0:28:27 > 0:28:29and Catch Me If You Can.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31You would have got four points for AI, we've already seen,
0:28:31 > 0:28:34and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37You'd have got five points for War of the Worlds and 12 for Lincoln.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39Let's look at the top three answers,
0:28:39 > 0:28:42the ones that most of our 100 people said.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44Saving Private Ryan with 19.
0:28:45 > 0:28:47Jurassic Park with 21.
0:28:48 > 0:28:52- Right at the top, Schindler's List with 27.- Thanks very much, Richard.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54So at the end of that round, I'm sorry to say it's Lawrence
0:28:54 > 0:28:57and Chris, surely the favourites coming into this show,
0:28:57 > 0:28:59our head-to-headers last time, and I'm sorry to say
0:28:59 > 0:29:02we have to send you away at the end of the second round this time.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04It's been wonderful having you on the show.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06Thank you so much for playing. Lawrence and Chris.
0:29:06 > 0:29:09APPLAUSE
0:29:09 > 0:29:12But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for the head-to-head.
0:29:12 > 0:29:14APPLAUSE
0:29:17 > 0:29:20Congratulations, Gahit and Jonny, Jason and Sandra,
0:29:20 > 0:29:22you're now one step closer to the final
0:29:22 > 0:29:24and a chance to play for our jackpot,
0:29:24 > 0:29:27which currently stands at £1,500.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29APPLAUSE
0:29:29 > 0:29:31Now, we need to decide who's going to play for that money,
0:29:31 > 0:29:34and to do that you're now going to go head-to-head.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36The difference is you're now allowed to confer.
0:29:36 > 0:29:37Sandra, this is great news, isn't it?
0:29:37 > 0:29:41The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46APPLAUSE
0:29:49 > 0:29:52OK, here comes your first question, and it concerns...
0:29:56 > 0:29:58Buildings and Landmarks of the USA, Richard.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00We're going to show you five pictures
0:30:00 > 0:30:02of famous American landmarks and buildings.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05We need you to give us the name by which they're most commonly known.
0:30:05 > 0:30:06Thanks very much indeed.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09Let's reveal our five buildings or landmarks from America,
0:30:09 > 0:30:11and here they are. We have got...
0:30:32 > 0:30:35There we are, five buildings or landmarks from the USA.
0:30:36 > 0:30:40Now, then. Gahit and Jonny, you have played best throughout the show,
0:30:40 > 0:30:41so you get to go first.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49OK, we're going to go for C, Alcatraz.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52C, Alcatraz, say Gahit and Jonny.
0:30:52 > 0:30:53C, Alcatraz.
0:30:53 > 0:30:57Now, Jason and Sandra, can you talk us through the rest of the board?
0:30:57 > 0:30:58Maybe.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01Er, A should be Mount Rushmore.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04- Should be?- Yeah!
0:31:04 > 0:31:07- Um, Sandra knows B.- Well, I don't.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09I think it's the OK Corral or something, I don't know,
0:31:09 > 0:31:10but not sure.
0:31:10 > 0:31:14D looks like a clock and bell so it could be the Liberty Bell.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16- And I suppose E is the Empire State...?- Yeah.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20I don't think it'll beat it, but we'll go with A
0:31:20 > 0:31:22just to be on the safe side, Mount Rushmore.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24OK, Mount Rushmore, A, say Jason and Sandra.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26So, we have Gahit and Jonny saying Alcatraz prison.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28Let's see if that's right,
0:31:28 > 0:31:31and if it is, let's see how many people said Alcatraz for C.
0:31:33 > 0:31:34It's right.
0:31:39 > 0:31:4014.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42APPLAUSE
0:31:44 > 0:31:4514 for Alcatraz.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48Now, Jason and Sandra have said Mount Rushmore for A.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50It should be Mount Rushmore, says Jason.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53Let's see if it is Mount Rushmore, let's see how many people said it.
0:31:55 > 0:31:56It's right.
0:31:58 > 0:32:00Is it going to beat Alcatraz, though?
0:32:00 > 0:32:02I don't think so, no. 33.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04APPLAUSE
0:32:04 > 0:32:08Which means, Gahit and Jonny, after one question, you are up 1-0.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11Well played. Let's fill in the rest of this board.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13Now, B, it's not the OK Corral, it's the Alamo.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16Only four people could remember the Alamo.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18D is where the Declaration of Independence was signed.
0:32:18 > 0:32:22It's also where the Constitution was drafted and signed.
0:32:22 > 0:32:25It's in Philadelphia and it's Independence Hall.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28That's a pointless answer, so very well done if you said that at home.
0:32:28 > 0:32:29And E is the Empire State Building.
0:32:29 > 0:32:32Would have been too many points, though, would have scored you 61.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35Thank you very much indeed. Here comes your second question.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37Jason and Sandra, you get to answer it first,
0:32:37 > 0:32:39but you have to win this one to stay in the game.
0:32:39 > 0:32:41Best of luck. It concerns...
0:32:43 > 0:32:45Debut Album Titles, Richard.
0:32:45 > 0:32:49Going to show you the titles of five debut albums by well-known artists,
0:32:49 > 0:32:51but we've missed out a word from each one.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53Can you fill in that word, please?
0:32:53 > 0:32:56OK, let's reveal our five debut album titles and here they are.
0:33:11 > 0:33:12I'll read those all again.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25Jason and Sandra, you go first this time.
0:33:28 > 0:33:33- What d'you think?- I know the first one, the third one. Yeah.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38OK, erm, I think I know a few of them, but we're going to
0:33:38 > 0:33:40go for the Definitely, which is Definitely Maybe.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43Definitely Maybe, say Jason and Sandra. Definitely Maybe.
0:33:43 > 0:33:47Now, Gahit and Jonny, can you talk us through the board?
0:33:47 > 0:33:50Well, I think A Girl Called Dusty.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52Erm, I don't know Please Please Please.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54Erm, don't know Chasing,
0:33:54 > 0:33:58and I think we're going go with Boy In Da Corner for the bottom one.
0:33:58 > 0:34:01Boy In Da Corner, 2003. So we have
0:34:01 > 0:34:03Definitely Maybe and Boy In Da Corner.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05Jason and Sandra said Definitely Maybe.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:34:09 > 0:34:10It is right.
0:34:13 > 0:34:1551, quite a high score there.
0:34:15 > 0:34:17APPLAUSE
0:34:18 > 0:34:21So, Gahit and Jonny, if Boy In Da Corner is right, it probably
0:34:21 > 0:34:24has a good chance of beating that. Let's find out if it is right.
0:34:27 > 0:34:30It is right. If that goes down beyond 51 you are in the final,
0:34:30 > 0:34:32and it does, very well done indeed.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36Look at that, 5, brilliant!
0:34:36 > 0:34:38APPLAUSE
0:34:38 > 0:34:39Well played. After only
0:34:39 > 0:34:41two questions, Gahit and Jonny,
0:34:41 > 0:34:43- you are through to the final 2-0. - Well played, gents.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46- That was the debut album by...? - Dizzee Rascal.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48Dizzee Rascal, yeah, absolutely. You were right about
0:34:48 > 0:34:51A Girl Called as well, would have been a very low score,
0:34:51 > 0:34:53A Girl Called Dusty by Dusty Springfield,
0:34:53 > 0:34:54would have scored you three points.
0:34:54 > 0:34:58Please Please is a big score, it's Please Please Me by the Beatles.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00Would have scored you 47.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03Now, Chasing, a lot of people at home will be saying "Pavements".
0:35:03 > 0:35:05It's not Pavements, not Adele. Adele's first album was 19.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07It's not Chasing Cars either,
0:35:07 > 0:35:09that's not the name of the Snow Patrol album,
0:35:09 > 0:35:11they'd been around for years and years by 2008.
0:35:11 > 0:35:15It's a pointless answer, it's by the Saturdays, and it's Chasing Lights.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19So, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:35:19 > 0:35:22I'm afraid it's Jason and Sandra. Two perfectly reasonable answers,
0:35:22 > 0:35:24but they were just quite high scorers.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26But the good news is we get to see you again next time.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28We look forward to that very much.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30Jason and Sandra, thanks very much for playing.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32APPLAUSE
0:35:32 > 0:35:36But for Gahit and Jonny, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42Congratulations, Gahit and Jonny, you've fought off all
0:35:42 > 0:35:45the competition and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54Fantastic! You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot,
0:35:54 > 0:35:57and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £1,500.
0:35:57 > 0:35:59You've done so well.
0:35:59 > 0:36:02So, so well. We've had a pointless answer, Munich!
0:36:02 > 0:36:06What a brilliant answer that was! Lovely, consistent low scoring.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09Very impressive indeed, and then 2-0 in the head-to-head.
0:36:09 > 0:36:10Simply no arguing with that.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12What would you like to see come up in this last round?
0:36:12 > 0:36:16- Well, we've already had music and film.- Literature, maybe?
0:36:16 > 0:36:19Literature, maybe, or... Yeah, keep an open mind.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22Music and film would have been my top two, and they've already been.
0:36:22 > 0:36:25Best of luck. As always, you kick off this round
0:36:25 > 0:36:26by choosing your category,
0:36:26 > 0:36:29and you have four options to choose from, and they are...
0:36:34 > 0:36:36I know nothing about motor sport.
0:36:36 > 0:36:38No, nothing about sport. French Culture, nope.
0:36:38 > 0:36:42- Disco Hits could be... - We met at a disco nightclub.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44Yeah, we met at a club called Horsemeat Disco,
0:36:44 > 0:36:49- so let's go Disco Hits.- Called Horsemeat Disco?- Horsemeat Disco.
0:36:49 > 0:36:54- That's honest, isn't it?- Yeah. - OK, fair enough, so Disco Hits.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56There we are, they've gone with Disco, Richard.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59Here are your three categories, guys. Very best of luck.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01We are looking for the name of any...
0:37:11 > 0:37:14So, any UK Top 40 album or single by Rose Royce, Kool & The Gang
0:37:14 > 0:37:16or Earth, Wind & Fire.
0:37:16 > 0:37:17Very best of luck.
0:37:17 > 0:37:19Thanks very much indeed. OK, as always,
0:37:19 > 0:37:21you've got up to a minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:21 > 0:37:24All you need to win that jackpot of £1,500 is for just
0:37:24 > 0:37:26one of those answers to be pointless. Now, remember,
0:37:26 > 0:37:29the answers you give can come from any of these categories.
0:37:29 > 0:37:32They could all come from one, if you like, or one from each,
0:37:32 > 0:37:34two from one, one from another, it's entirely up to you.
0:37:34 > 0:37:35- Are you ready?- BOTH: Yep.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock. There they are.
0:37:38 > 0:37:42- Your time starts now.- OK, so there's Car Wash by Rose Royce.
0:37:42 > 0:37:46Celebration by Kool & The Gang, September or...
0:37:46 > 0:37:51erm, what else is by Earth, Wind & Fire? Fantasy? September.
0:37:51 > 0:37:53- Boogie Wonderland. - That's too obvious.
0:37:53 > 0:37:55- I think they're all quite obvious.- Yeah.
0:37:55 > 0:37:59Don't know any more obscure ones. D'you know, erm...?
0:38:00 > 0:38:03- What else did Kool & The Gang do? I've gone blank.- Erm...
0:38:04 > 0:38:07- Yeah, they're the only ones that I know.- Yeah.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10I've gone completely blank, I'm really sorry.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13I think September or Fantasy might be more obscure than the others.
0:38:13 > 0:38:17- They didn't do Rasp...no, that was Boney M.- Yeah, that was Boney M.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20So, shall we, erm, d'you think, I think
0:38:20 > 0:38:23- September and Fantasy will be more obscure.- What was the third one?
0:38:23 > 0:38:26So, September and Fantasy from Earth, Wind & Fire,
0:38:26 > 0:38:29Kool & The Gang, Celebration. Car Wash from Rose Royce.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32Let's say Car Wash from Rose Royce and the two Earth, Wind & Fire.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35- OK, yeah.- OK.- OK, you're happy? You've selected your three.
0:38:35 > 0:38:37OK, we'll stop the clock there, then.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40What are the three answers you're going to give me?
0:38:40 > 0:38:43- We're going to go for Car Wash by Rose Royce.- Car Wash by Rose Royce.
0:38:43 > 0:38:46- September by Earth, Wind & Fire. - September by Earth, Wind & Fire.
0:38:46 > 0:38:49- And Fantasy... - And Fantasy by Earth, Wind & Fire.
0:38:49 > 0:38:51Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:51 > 0:38:55- I think September.- Yeah.- September we'll put last. Least likely?
0:38:55 > 0:38:57- Car Wash.- Car Wash, we'll put first.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59OK, let's put those up on the board in that order,
0:38:59 > 0:39:01and here they are. We have got...
0:39:05 > 0:39:09Very, very best of luck. Your first answer was Car Wash.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12If this is correct and it is pointless, you'll win that jackpot.
0:39:12 > 0:39:15- What will you do with £1,500, Gahit? - Erm, I think I'd like a holiday.
0:39:15 > 0:39:17A bit obvious but it'd be nice.
0:39:17 > 0:39:21No, still, a worthwhile thing to spend that sort of windfall on.
0:39:21 > 0:39:22Jonny, how about you?
0:39:22 > 0:39:25Yeah, a holiday would be nice as well, and I've got to,
0:39:25 > 0:39:28like, pay off my overdraft and other mundane things like that.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31Good, nice to be able to do that. Three good answers on the board.
0:39:31 > 0:39:33Let's hope at least one of those is pointless for you
0:39:33 > 0:39:36and wins that jackpot. Your first answer was Car Wash.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39This was the one you thought was least likely to be pointless.
0:39:39 > 0:39:43Let's find out, was Car Wash a Rose Royce UK Top 40 hit?
0:39:44 > 0:39:46Well, it's right.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48That was the first thing it had to be.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50The second thing it has to be is pointless.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53That is the only thing that will win that jackpot for you on this.
0:39:53 > 0:39:56Down it goes, 24 for the Car Wash.
0:39:56 > 0:39:58APPLAUSE
0:39:58 > 0:40:01I think we'd all have been a bit surprised
0:40:01 > 0:40:04if that had gone all the way down to zero. So, not a pointless answer.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06Two perfectly good answers left on the board, though.
0:40:06 > 0:40:08Your second answer was Fantasy.
0:40:09 > 0:40:13Let's find out. For £1,500,
0:40:13 > 0:40:16was Fantasy a UK Top 40 hit for Earth, Wind & Fire?
0:40:19 > 0:40:25Well, your first answer, Car Wash, took us down to 24.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27Fantasy, your second answer, takes us past that,
0:40:27 > 0:40:30down into single figures, doing very well indeed.
0:40:30 > 0:40:313 for Fantasy.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33APPLAUSE
0:40:37 > 0:40:38That's more like it.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41If we plot a line from 24 to 3,
0:40:41 > 0:40:44your third answer surely has to be pointless. So, let's find out.
0:40:44 > 0:40:46Your third answer, the one you thought was your best shot
0:40:46 > 0:40:49at a pointless answer, September by Earth, Wind & Fire.
0:40:49 > 0:40:52Let's see, for £1,500,
0:40:52 > 0:40:55if it was a UK Top 40 Hit for Earth, Wind & Fire.
0:40:58 > 0:41:00Yes, it was.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02OK, so Car Wash took us down to 24,
0:41:02 > 0:41:06but then we were on surer ground when Fantasy took us down to 3.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09Your third and final answer, September, taking us down, oh!
0:41:09 > 0:41:124 for September, I'm sorry.
0:41:12 > 0:41:14APPLAUSE
0:41:17 > 0:41:19Three very good answers there,
0:41:19 > 0:41:21two of them lovely, lovely low scores there.
0:41:21 > 0:41:253 and 4, you'd be delighted with that at any other point in the game.
0:41:25 > 0:41:29Sadly, though, in this round it's only pointless answers we're interested in.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32I'm sorry to say you didn't manage to find that crucial pointless answer,
0:41:32 > 0:41:35which means you don't win today's jackpot. That will roll over onto the next show.
0:41:35 > 0:41:38We've really enjoyed having you on the show, you've done so well,
0:41:38 > 0:41:40and you get to take home a Pointless trophy each
0:41:40 > 0:41:43- for your trouble, so there you are. Well done.- Thank you for having us.
0:41:43 > 0:41:45APPLAUSE
0:41:48 > 0:41:51Sorry, Jonny. Nice reason for going for the category, though.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54Let's take a look at the pointless answers and hope none of them
0:41:54 > 0:41:57are too familiar to you. Let's start with Rose Royce.
0:41:57 > 0:41:59I Wanna Get Next To You was a single,
0:41:59 > 0:42:01their debut album was In Full Bloom,
0:42:01 > 0:42:04Is It Love You're After, It Makes You Feel Like Dancing,
0:42:04 > 0:42:05all of those were pointless.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07Well done if you said any of those.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10Kool & The Gang, (When You Say You Love Somebody) In The Heart
0:42:10 > 0:42:12was pointless, In The Heart, the album, was also pointless.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14Ooh La La La (Let's Go Dancin')
0:42:14 > 0:42:16some people at home might have got as a pointless answer.
0:42:16 > 0:42:19Straight Ahead, Tonight, you could have also had Big Fun,
0:42:19 > 0:42:22you could have had Steppin' Out, you could have had Summer Madness.
0:42:22 > 0:42:24All of those were pointless answers for Kool & The Gang.
0:42:24 > 0:42:25And for Earth, Wind & Fire,
0:42:25 > 0:42:28the top two are albums, Faces and I Am.
0:42:28 > 0:42:32And then two singles, Let's Groove and Saturday Nite
0:42:32 > 0:42:34also a pointless answer for Earth, Wind & Fire.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36Very well done if you said any of those at home.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38- Saturday Nite you knew. - Saturday Nite.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40- Never mind.- Too late now.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42Oh, bad luck, it's always tough when you know some of those answers.
0:42:42 > 0:42:45Unfortunately, we do have to say goodbye to you, Gahit and Jonny,
0:42:45 > 0:42:47but we've loved having you on the show.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49Thank you both so much for playing so well.
0:42:49 > 0:42:50Brilliant contestants, well done.
0:42:50 > 0:42:52APPLAUSE
0:42:52 > 0:42:56Sadly Gahit and Jonny didn't win our jackpot today, which means it
0:42:56 > 0:42:59rolls over onto the next show, when we will be playing for £2,500.
0:42:59 > 0:43:02APPLAUSE
0:43:02 > 0:43:04Join us next time to see if someone can win it.
0:43:04 > 0:43:06- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...- Goodbye.
0:43:06 > 0:43:08And it's goodbye from me, goodbye.
