0:00:20 > 0:00:23CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:23 > 0:00:24Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless.
0:00:27 > 0:00:28This is the quiz show where the questions
0:00:28 > 0:00:30have been asked to 100 people before the show
0:00:30 > 0:00:32and all our contestants have to do
0:00:32 > 0:00:35is come up with the answers those 100 people couldn't think of.
0:00:35 > 0:00:36Let's meet today's players.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40APPLAUSE
0:00:40 > 0:00:41Couple number one.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44Hi, Alexander. I'm Jim and I'm from Belfast.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47I'm retired and this is my friend Barbara.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50- Couple number two.- Hi, I'm Harry. This is my friend Barry
0:00:50 > 0:00:52and we're both from London.
0:00:52 > 0:00:53Couple number three.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Tom. This is my friend and former neighbour, Jeff,
0:00:56 > 0:00:58and we're from Hednesford in Staffordshire.
0:00:58 > 0:00:59And finally, couple number four.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Hi, I'm Jason. This is my fiance, Sandra,
0:01:01 > 0:01:03and we're from West Wycombe in Kent.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05And these are today's contestants.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07- APPLAUSE - Thanks to all of you.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10We'll find out more about you throughout the show.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12So that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Today, he's brought his A game but unfortunately for our players,
0:01:15 > 0:01:16a stands for Aristotle, algebra
0:01:16 > 0:01:18and awfully hard questions about literature.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21So I'm sorry about that. It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Hiya. hi, everybody. APPLAUSE
0:01:27 > 0:01:29- Hi, how are you?- I'm very well.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32- Excellent, one of our favourite things has happened.- Exactly.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34- Rhyming pair.- Oh, rhyming contestants!
0:01:34 > 0:01:35We do an awful lot of the shows
0:01:35 > 0:01:38- and sometimes you just need something, don't you?- You do.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41The last time we saw such a thing was Ron and John.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43I think Ron and John was less good than Harry and Barry.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Harry and Barry is kind of better.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47- Harry and Barry. - Harry and Barry is great.
0:01:47 > 0:01:48Now, I might change the rules
0:01:48 > 0:01:51so you can stick around for three or four shows. Is that all right?
0:01:51 > 0:01:53- But don't win!- OK! - Whatever you do, don't win.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56We've only got one pair coming back from last time -
0:01:56 > 0:01:58- Jason and Sandra. But they were quite bright.- Oh, they were.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01Sandra did a thing of giving an identical answer to Jason,
0:02:01 > 0:02:03though, in our first round.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05- Yes.- Literally identical.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08About a minute and a half after he gave it.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11So keep a lookout for that today.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14- It should be a cracker, though, should be a lot of fun.- Excellent.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Thanks very much indeed.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18All our questions have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Our contestants need to find the obscure answers
0:02:21 > 0:02:22those 100 people didn't get.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Of course, what everyone's trying to do is find a pointless answer,
0:02:25 > 0:02:27an answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30And each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33Now, Cahit and Johnny didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:02:33 > 0:02:35which means we add another £1,000 to that.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37So today's jackpot starts off at...
0:02:37 > 0:02:39- There we are. - CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Decent jackpot.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:02:48 > 0:02:51OK. In this first round, I'll take an answer from each of you
0:02:51 > 0:02:53but there's to be no conferring.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Whichever pair has the highest score at the end of the round will be heading home.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58So do what you can to make sure that's not you.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00OK, our first category today is...
0:03:02 > 0:03:03Live music.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:03:06 > 0:03:07who's going to go second.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14OK and the question concerns...
0:03:17 > 0:03:18Music concerts, Richard?
0:03:18 > 0:03:21On each pass, we're going to give you the names of seven live music tours.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24We need you to tell us the name of the act or the band
0:03:24 > 0:03:25who took part in those tours, please.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27There's going to be seven on each pass,
0:03:27 > 0:03:3014 in all to have a go at, at home. So good luck.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32OK. So we're looking for the name of the artist or group
0:03:32 > 0:03:34represented by initials, which will be shown,
0:03:34 > 0:03:36who toured with these shows.
0:03:36 > 0:03:37And here's our first board of seven.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05I'll read those all one last time.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Now then, Jim and Barbara, you all drew lots before the show
0:04:29 > 0:04:31and today, you're going to go first.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Jim, welcome to the show, great to have you here.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35- From Belfast?- Yes.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37What do you do to fill your time, Jim?
0:04:37 > 0:04:40I have two grandchildren. Can I say hello?
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Abigail and Jimmy, hi!
0:04:43 > 0:04:45BOTH: Hi, Abigail. Hi, Jimmy.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49And I was a football referee for 24 years.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Ooh!
0:04:51 > 0:04:54- Are you OK seeing the board there, Jim?- Yes, thank you.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58- No hair in the way!- Just a little referee joke, that's all. LAUGHTER
0:04:58 > 0:05:02Now, Jim, how is this as a subject for you?
0:05:02 > 0:05:07I think I know one, hopefully, and I hope that it's right.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09I think...it's Glass Spider is David Bowie.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12- David Bowie, Glass Spider. - Bowie, yes.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15- Did you go and see it or are you just...?- No.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18- I did go and see it.- Did you? - Roker Park, very exciting.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Anyway, there we are. Let's find out if it's right.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Glass Spider - how many people said it?
0:05:28 > 0:05:3132! That's a good answer, Jim.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33- Very well done indeed. - APPLAUSE
0:05:35 > 0:05:38Well played, Jim. There were three of those glass spiders.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40They cost 10 million each.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43They had three so that they could be setting up in one city
0:05:43 > 0:05:45while they were touring in another city.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47- Blimey.- Cost them a fortune.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Very exciting. Pete Frampton came on, played guitar.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52- Yeah, he was the guitarist on the whole tour.- Yeah.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Frampton writes about that gig in his autobiography,
0:05:55 > 0:05:56which is a terrific read, actually.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00And he mentioned you specifically and not...
0:06:00 > 0:06:03not in good terms, I have to say. LAUGHTER
0:06:03 > 0:06:06- Really?- Let's just say Frampton - not a fan.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09- Not a fan.- Oh, OK.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Harry.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Hey, rhyming pair! It's nice having a rhyming pair, isn't it?
0:06:14 > 0:06:17- Oh, amazing.- Yeah. Harry, what do you do?
0:06:17 > 0:06:19I'm an IT worker.
0:06:19 > 0:06:24- OK, good stuff. Now, do you go to lots of gigs?- No.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26I'm afraid my answer was taken, there.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28You'll have to believe me on that one.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31I'll have to go with the only other thing I know
0:06:31 > 0:06:32which is Keep The Faith
0:06:32 > 0:06:34and I want to say Bon Jovi.
0:06:34 > 0:06:35Bon Jovi for Keep The Faith.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Let's see if that's right and how many people said that.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42It's right.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48- 18! - APPLAUSE
0:06:48 > 0:06:50There we go, Harry. Well done.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53As it turns out, a better score than you'd have got for your original answer
0:06:53 > 0:06:55- so were there we are.- Yeah, well done, Harry.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57It's a stroke of luck your answer was stolen.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Wasn't it? Yeah, touring the album of the same name.
0:07:00 > 0:07:01Still going now, Bon Jovi.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05- I was going to say, "Still going now, that tour."- Not that tour.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Let's move on. Now, Jeff. Welcome to the show.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10- It's good to have you here.- Good to see you.- What do you do?
0:07:10 > 0:07:12- I work at a university in Birmingham.- What do you do there?
0:07:12 > 0:07:17I support students, kind of making sure that they graduate, really.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Jeff, what do you make of this board?
0:07:19 > 0:07:23As my friends will tell you, music isn't exactly my forte.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27So I'm going to have to have a big guess at Guns, God and Government
0:07:27 > 0:07:29is Marilyn Manson.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Yeah, that's all I could come up with for that one as well.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Anyway, we'll see. Marilyn Manson. Is that right?
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Maybe it is, and if it is, how many people said it?
0:07:36 > 0:07:37It is right.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46Look at that, seven! Best score so far, Jeff.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53See, everyone's being forced to take bigger and bigger risks,
0:07:53 > 0:07:55- and it's paying off in spades. - Very well played, Jeff.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Yeah, Guns, God and Government. It's not going to be Matt Monro, is it?
0:07:58 > 0:08:00LAUGHTER
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Did you see any of the Guns, God and Government gigs?
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Yeah, I was at every night of that tour(!)
0:08:04 > 0:08:07I had to be, cos I played bass(!)
0:08:07 > 0:08:08Of course you did.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11- Yeah, I used to be the bassist in Marilyn Manson's band, yeah.- Yeah.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13I was Spiggy McGee.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20- That's right. The improbably named Spiggy Magee was you. Exactly.- Yeah.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23So like Debbie McGee, but er... But Spiggy.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26- Yeah, I was a bit like Debbie McGee. - Just a bit like.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28If you get any of the live footage of that tour,
0:08:28 > 0:08:32if you look at the bassist you think, "He's tall." That's me in a mask.
0:08:32 > 0:08:33Thank you, Richard.
0:08:33 > 0:08:38- Sandra, welcome to the show again. - Thanks.- Head-to-head last time.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40You gotta have high hopes for this time, surely.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Returning pairs always do well.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45It was all Jason and I was just kind of...
0:08:45 > 0:08:47- ..flapping along. - That was last time.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Can I just tell you what the pattern of scoring has been
0:08:49 > 0:08:53so far this round? 32, 18, 7, Sandra.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57Yeah. The one which obviously I think is going to be the lowest one,
0:08:57 > 0:08:58which is Out Of Control.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00I've been standing here going through all the Gs.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03You can talk us through all of them. Do your thinking out loud.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06I think I Am... I think it be Beyonce as it's just a B.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Femme Fatale, I should imagine is Britney Spears.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10This is just me guessing.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13Just because one of my very good friends loves the man to death,
0:09:13 > 0:09:16I will go Weekends Of Mass Distraction, Robbie Williams.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Robbie Williams, says Sandra, for Weekends Of Mass Distraction.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Let's hear if that's right, and if it is Robbie Williams,
0:09:21 > 0:09:24let's see if it's right and let's see how many people said it.
0:09:24 > 0:09:25It is right.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Still going down. 21. Not bad at all.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Well played, Sandra. Good answer.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Now, you were right about B, that's Beyonce.
0:09:42 > 0:09:43Would've scored you 28 points.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46You'd have been better going for Britney Spears,
0:09:46 > 0:09:49you're right about that as well. It would've scored you 14.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53And Out Of Control, it's Girls Aloud.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57- Girls Aloud would've scored you six points.- Thanks very much indeed.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59Let's take a look at those scores.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Seven the best score of that pass, Jeff. Very well done indeed.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04Then we travel up to 18 where we find Harry and Barry. Then up to 21.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06It's just impossible not to enjoy saying Harry and Barry.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09- Such a treat. I hope people at home are enjoying it.- Yeah.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12Oh, I doubt it.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Then up to 21 where we find Sandra and Jason.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Then up to 32 where we find Jim and Barbara.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20You're not miles ahead, but Barbara, you will be the last person
0:10:20 > 0:10:21to answer, so we need a really good answer.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23I think you're going to be brilliant at this.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25I have absolutely no doubt, so best of luck.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27We're going to come back down the line now.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Can the second players please step up to the podium.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34OK, let's put seven more shows on the board. And here they come.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36We have got...
0:10:57 > 0:10:58I'll read those again.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20There we are. Remember, we're looking for the group or artist
0:11:20 > 0:11:23represented by the initials who toured with these live shows.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26- Jason, welcome back.- Thank you. - Remind us what you do, Jason.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28I work for a housing association.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30And in your spare time what do you like to do, Jason?
0:11:30 > 0:11:34I train doing mixed martial arts and I also sing in a male voice choir.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37OK. Now, do you go and see a lot of live music?
0:11:37 > 0:11:39I've seen two concerts in my lifetime.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41- Any of them on this board? - No.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45I think I'm just going to go with The Girlie Show, Madonna.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48The Girlie Show, Madonna, says Jason. Let's see if that's right.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Let's see how many people said it if it is. Here's your red line.
0:11:59 > 0:12:0030.
0:12:01 > 0:12:06Not bad. 51 your total. I think that might be enough to see you through.
0:12:07 > 0:12:08Yeah, that was the tour,
0:12:08 > 0:12:11she was touring the Erotica album on that tour.
0:12:11 > 0:12:12Thanks very much.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16- Now, Tom, welcome to the show. So you're a teacher?- Yes.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19- What do you teach? - English and Media Studies.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22Right you are. And what do you do in your spare time, Tom?
0:12:22 > 0:12:25I do stand-up and write a bit and that's it, really.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29- How long have you done the stand-up? - About two years or so off and on.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31It's hard cos I work full-time,
0:12:31 > 0:12:35so not in any sort of structured way, but I'm trying to do more.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Well, best of luck with that. Now, you're on seven.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40The highest scorers are Jason and Sandra on 51.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43What we require from you is 43 or less.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47I'm going to go for, er...
0:12:48 > 0:12:51The Tour of Life, and I think that's Kate Bush.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54Kate Bush, The Tour Of Life.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Kate Bush. Sounds good to me. There is your red line.
0:12:56 > 0:12:57If you get below that,
0:12:57 > 0:12:59you are definitely through to the next round.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Let's see if Kate Bush is right for The Tour Of Life
0:13:01 > 0:13:03and how many people said it.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Absolutely right. Very well done, Tom.
0:13:06 > 0:13:07Gets you through as well.
0:13:10 > 0:13:11Brilliant answer. Seven!
0:13:13 > 0:13:15- Takes your total up to 14. - That's perfect.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18That's Kate Bush's first tour and her only tour to date as well.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21- She never toured since. - It'd be nice if she did.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23- It would be lovely if she did.- Yeah.
0:13:23 > 0:13:24Wouldn't it be nice to have Tom as a teacher?
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Don't you think?
0:13:26 > 0:13:28I'll have tickets if she's touring again.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30If she sees this, I'd like tickets. That'd be good.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32That's not how it works. That's just not how it works, John.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34- You don't know that.- It works like this -
0:13:34 > 0:13:37we really would like tickets, actually. Richard and I really...
0:13:37 > 0:13:41- What's your surname, Tom? - Allsopp.- Mr Allsopp.- Yeah.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44- Is that what they call you? Do you ever say, "Call me Tom."- No. Oh, no.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47There's nothing worse. There's nothing worse than that.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49There we go. Very well done, Tom. Good answer.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52- Now, Barry.- Hi.- Barry and Harry.
0:13:53 > 0:13:54They rhyme.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58- Barry and Harry. Barry, what do you do?- I'm a chef.- Very nice.
0:13:58 > 0:13:59How long have you done that for?
0:13:59 > 0:14:02- I've been cheffing for about 15 years.- Enjoy it?- Yeah, it's nice.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04- Incredibly hard work.- Yes, it is.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08OK. So Barry, we're looking for the artist or group who toured
0:14:08 > 0:14:10with these shows.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Yeah, I was struggling, erm...
0:14:14 > 0:14:15I know one definitely.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18So I'm going to take a bit of a punt at the top one,
0:14:18 > 0:14:20The Monster Ball and Lady Gaga.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24Lady Gaga, says Barry for Monster Ball. Let's see if that's right,
0:14:24 > 0:14:26and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:14:26 > 0:14:27There's your red line.
0:14:28 > 0:14:29It's right.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36Very well done. You're through to the next round. 19 it scores you.
0:14:37 > 0:14:3837 is your total.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43Well played, Barry. Took a good punt there, paid off as well.
0:14:43 > 0:14:47Yeah, it's estimated it made over £200 million that tour.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50Wow!
0:14:50 > 0:14:52Harry and Barry, have you got any other friends who rhyme?
0:14:52 > 0:14:55We know Gary and Larry.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57- Do you really?- No.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01To be honest, our names are John and Dave.
0:15:03 > 0:15:08Yeah. Thank you very much indeed. Now then, Barbara. What do you do?
0:15:08 > 0:15:12I'm a clinic manager for a skincare laser company.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15So when you look at people's faces, you're just thinking, "Oh..."
0:15:15 > 0:15:17- Doing your totting up, doing your little...- Botox.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21Working out a little estimate. "I could do that 120, probably."
0:15:21 > 0:15:24OK. This is the moment of truth. You're on 32.
0:15:24 > 0:15:2851 is the highest score. You have to score 18 or less.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30You can talk us through this board if you fancied it.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Erm, no. I don't fancy it.
0:15:33 > 0:15:37Erm, the only one that I can really think of would be
0:15:37 > 0:15:40the Dangerous World with Michael Jackson.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44Dangerous World, Michael Jackson. Now then, there is your red line.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47You have to get below that to get through to the next round.
0:15:47 > 0:15:48Let's see if it's right,
0:15:48 > 0:15:50and if it is, let's see how many people said Michael Jackson.
0:15:52 > 0:15:53It was right.
0:15:56 > 0:15:5949, Barbara. I'm sorry.
0:15:59 > 0:16:0149 takes your total up to 81.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05Yeah, correct answer, just too many points there, sorry.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09There's, I suspect, a couple you'll know here, though.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11Up All Night, we went to this tour, didn't we?
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Well, we didn't miss many of those gigs, did we?
0:16:14 > 0:16:16We loved it, didn't we?
0:16:16 > 0:16:18One Direction, of course. One Direction.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Our old friends, our old muckers. 14 points.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24Now Say You Will, that's quite tricky, that one.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26It's Fleetwood Mac. Well done if you said that.
0:16:26 > 0:16:273 points.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30This last one I think you will know, cos this is very much our era -
0:16:30 > 0:16:32- The Sugary Tea tour? - Is Blur.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34- It's Blur, and it's a pointless answer.- Is it?
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Yeah. Well done if you said that.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Thank you very much indeed. So at the end of our first round,
0:16:38 > 0:16:40the pair heading home with a high score of 81...
0:16:40 > 0:16:43It's not that high, but I'm afraid it's just higher than everyone else.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45..is Jim and Barbara.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48We have to say goodbye to you, but thanks for coming along.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51We'll see you again next time, Barbara and Jim. Great contestants.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:17:02 > 0:17:03So three pairs remain.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06At the end of this round, we'll have to say goodbye to another pair.
0:17:06 > 0:17:10Best of luck to all three pairs. Our category for Round Two is...
0:17:12 > 0:17:15Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:17:15 > 0:17:16who's going to go second?
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:17:28 > 0:17:31American countries in the northern hemisphere, Richard.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33We're looking for any country in North America,
0:17:33 > 0:17:34Central America, South America
0:17:34 > 0:17:37or the Caribbean that's in the northern hemisphere,
0:17:37 > 0:17:38that lies north of the equator.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40As always, by country we mean a sovereign state
0:17:40 > 0:17:42that's a member of the UN in its own right.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Thank you very much indeed.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47- OK, so, Barry.- Hello.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50What is the most obscure country in the Americas or the Caribbean
0:17:50 > 0:17:54that lies all or in part north of the equator, that you can think of?
0:17:56 > 0:17:57I'll go for Honduras.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Honduras, says Barry.
0:17:59 > 0:18:00Let's see if Honduras is right
0:18:00 > 0:18:03and if it is let's see how many of our 100 people said Honduras.
0:18:05 > 0:18:06It's right.
0:18:11 > 0:18:1218. Not bad.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17Not bad at all.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Good answer, Barry. Nice start from that first podium.
0:18:20 > 0:18:21Well done.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25- Now, then, Jeff.- Yeah.- Jeff.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28We've just come back from America...an American country.
0:18:28 > 0:18:32- You really have no excuse then. - No, not really.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35But you did so well last round. See if you can be the low scorers again.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37I'm not sure it'll be as low this time.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39I'm going to go for Mexico.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42- Mexico.- Yeah.- Says Jeff.
0:18:42 > 0:18:43OK, let's see if that's right,
0:18:43 > 0:18:46and let's see how many of our 100 people said Mexico.
0:18:52 > 0:18:5360 for Mexico.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59Yeah. That's a big score for Mexico.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02It's the second largest producer of horse meat in the world, Mexico.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08Marvellous. Thank you very much. Now, Jason. Jason.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Yeah, I'm struggling. Apart from the obvious ones.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15I'm going to go for Saint Kitts and Nevis.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18Saint Kitts and Nevis, says Jason. Saint Kitts and Nevis.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said it.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24It's perfectly good.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27I have a feeling this is going to do extremely well for you, Jason.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30There we go. 9.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32You've just halved our lowest score there.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38Well played, Jason. I wouldn't call that struggling.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40Saint Kitts and Nevis is actually the smallest country
0:19:40 > 0:19:41in the whole of the Americas,
0:19:41 > 0:19:44- both in terms of populations and in terms of size.- Thanks very much.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47We're halfway through the round, let's take a look at those scores.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49Very good, Jason. Brilliant performance there.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Lowest score as well - 9.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53That's put you and Sandra in a pretty strong position,
0:19:53 > 0:19:56particularly in the context of 18 of Barry and Harry,
0:19:56 > 0:19:59and then up to 60, where we find Jeff and Tom.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01Tom, we need a brilliant score from you.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04A teacher's pass is what we need.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Best of luck. We're going to come back down the line.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:20:11 > 0:20:12OK, Sandra.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14We want any country in the Americas or the Caribbean
0:20:14 > 0:20:15north of the equator.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18The only thing I can think of is a very obvious one,
0:20:18 > 0:20:22which means Jason's hard work is probably going to go for nothing,
0:20:22 > 0:20:23but I'm going to go for Brazil.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29Brazil. OK. Sandra says Brazil. There is your red line.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32If you get below that red line, you are through to the next round.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35Let's see if Brazil is right. Let's see how many people said it.
0:20:35 > 0:20:36It is right.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41And you are through to the next round, Sandra.
0:20:41 > 0:20:42That's not bad at all. 19.
0:20:47 > 0:20:4928 is your total.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53Yeah, it's enormous, Brazil, so some of it is above the equator.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55A great deal of it isn't.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57- But some of it is, fortunately. - Oh, thank you.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59That's why that's actually a very good answer.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02- Did you think that was going to be wrong?- Yeah.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05Could you tell from my... "Brazil..."
0:21:05 > 0:21:06LAUGHTER
0:21:08 > 0:21:10And my slightly...face.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14Then didn't alter at all, but then just slightly turned into,
0:21:14 > 0:21:16"Oh, I'm impressed."
0:21:17 > 0:21:20- Ah, anyway. Very well done, Sandra. - Thank you.- Tom.
0:21:21 > 0:21:22- Yeah.- Tom.
0:21:22 > 0:21:27- You're the high scorers, remember. - I think I'm going to go for Panama.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Panama, says Tom, Panama.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32Now no red line for you, obviously, cos you are the high scorers.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36Let's see if Panama will get you a nice long way down the column.
0:21:38 > 0:21:39It's right.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44Still going down.
0:21:44 > 0:21:4516, not bad at all.
0:21:48 > 0:21:4976 your total.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53That's a good answer there from Mr Allsopp.
0:21:53 > 0:21:54Well played.
0:21:55 > 0:22:01Harry, now then, Harry, how good's your geography?
0:22:01 > 0:22:03- Eh, passable.- OK.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05You have to score 57 or less.
0:22:05 > 0:22:12Yeah, em, well, most of the Caribbean, obviously, is still left.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14I think you said Saint Kitts and Nevis,
0:22:14 > 0:22:18so obviously you've got things like Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
0:22:18 > 0:22:22and Saint Lucia, but I think I'm going to go with Dominica.
0:22:22 > 0:22:23OK, there is your red line.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26If you get below that red line with Dominica, you're through.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29Let's see if it's right, let's see how many people said Dominica.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33It is right.
0:22:33 > 0:22:34You are in the head-to-head.
0:22:37 > 0:22:388. Very well done indeed.
0:22:39 > 0:22:4026 your total.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48Yeah, I would say, Harry, that your geography is better than passable.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50There were some terrific answers there.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52There's no pointless answers here at all.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54The lowest score you could have possibly got was 4,
0:22:54 > 0:22:56and one of those was Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
0:22:56 > 0:22:57Take a look at those.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00There's Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, and Grenada -
0:23:00 > 0:23:01would have scored you 4.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05Suriname would have scored you 6. El Salvador would have scored you 6.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08Guyana would have scored 8 alongside Dominica.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10You could have got 9 for St Lucia,
0:23:10 > 0:23:12another one that you were going to go for.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Costa Rica and Nicaragua both would have scored you 10.
0:23:14 > 0:23:18Ecuador 11, Antigua and Barbuda 12 alongside Colombia.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21That would have scored you 12. Guatemala, 13, Venezuela, 13.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Let's take a look at the top three answers,
0:23:23 > 0:23:24the ones that most people said.
0:23:24 > 0:23:28One of these will be familiar. Canada would have scored you 55.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30There's Mexico on 60. Very big score.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32And right at the top, the USA.
0:23:32 > 0:23:33Also on 60, actually,
0:23:33 > 0:23:37so Mexico equally bad as you could possibly could have done...
0:23:37 > 0:23:38That's fine.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41..whilst giving us a correct answer, which you did.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43Thank you very much indeed.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45So, yes, Tom and Jeff, I'm afraid it's you
0:23:45 > 0:23:49- we have to say goodbye to at the end of that round. Jeff, Mexico.- Sorry.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Well, listen, we are looking forward already to see you on your next
0:23:51 > 0:23:54Pointless appearance, but meantime, thanks very much for playing.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57Tom and Jeff, great contestants. Thank you.
0:23:58 > 0:24:02But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Congratulations, Barry and Harry, Jason and Sandra.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12You're now one step closer to the final
0:24:12 > 0:24:13and a chance to play for our jackpot,
0:24:13 > 0:24:16which currently stands at...
0:24:16 > 0:24:17APPLAUSE
0:24:19 > 0:24:21We have to decide who's going to play for that money.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23To do that, you are now going to go head-to-head,
0:24:23 > 0:24:27the big difference being you are now allowed to confer.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32Now then, Jason and Sandra, you've been here before.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35What do you make of your rivals today?
0:24:35 > 0:24:37- Oh, good.- Very good.- Very good.
0:24:37 > 0:24:42- And rhyming.- Yes.- That's worth loads.- I think well it could be.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Well, we shall see. I think this is going to be another...
0:24:44 > 0:24:47- We've had a lot of very exciting... - We've had some good ones.
0:24:47 > 0:24:48..in the last few shows.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52I think this promises to be another. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:24:52 > 0:24:53APPLAUSE
0:24:56 > 0:24:59OK, here comes your first question. It concerns...
0:25:02 > 0:25:05Yes, we're simply going to show you five stills now from films
0:25:05 > 0:25:07where key scenes take place in planes.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10Can you tell us the name of the film, please?
0:25:10 > 0:25:11Thank you very much.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13Let's reveal our five planes in films. Here they are.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36There we are. Five planes in films.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39Barry and Harry, you've played best throughout the show so far,
0:25:39 > 0:25:40so you will get to go first.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50I think we know most of them,
0:25:50 > 0:25:54but I think we're hoping that B is going to be the best answer.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57That's Executive Decision.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00Executive Decision, you are saying for B.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02- Hopefully.- Executive Decision.
0:26:02 > 0:26:06Now then, Jason and Sandra, can you talk us through the board?
0:26:06 > 0:26:07Possibly.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12A, I think is Air Force One.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15C, I think, is Snakes On A Plane.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18E is North By Northwest.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21D could be, I don't know...
0:26:21 > 0:26:24I think it's Bridesmaids, but I've not seen it.
0:26:24 > 0:26:25Not 100% sure.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28- Shall we just go for A?- Yeah.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31Go for A, Air Force One, say Jason and Sandra.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Barry and Harry said Executive Decision for B.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Let's see if that's right and if it is
0:26:35 > 0:26:39let's see how many of our 100 people said Executive Decision.
0:26:39 > 0:26:40It's right.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48Oh, very well done indeed. 3, Barry and Harry.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53That is fantastic.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56Now, yes, good luck beating that, Jason and Sandra.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58But you have gone for Air Force One for A.
0:26:58 > 0:27:02Let's see if that's right and let's see how many people said it.
0:27:08 > 0:27:09Oh, it's going to be close.
0:27:09 > 0:27:1017. 17.
0:27:10 > 0:27:11APPLAUSE
0:27:13 > 0:27:17Very well done, Barry and Harry. After one question, you are up 1-0.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19Couldn't beat Executive Decision,
0:27:19 > 0:27:21it's the best answer on the board, guys. Well played.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24C is Snakes On A Plane.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26Samuel L Jackson there, that would have scored 40 points.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28That's a big scorer.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31D is Bridesmaids. That would have scored you 12 points.
0:27:32 > 0:27:36E is North By Northwest, that would score you 32.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39Thanks very much indeed, Richard. OK, here comes your second question.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41Jason and Sandra, you will answer this first,
0:27:41 > 0:27:44but you have to win it to stay in the game. Best of luck.
0:27:44 > 0:27:45It concerns...
0:27:50 > 0:27:52Yeah, we're just going to show you five clues now
0:27:52 > 0:27:54to facts about Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56Can you give us the most obscure answer?
0:27:56 > 0:27:58OK, thanks very much. Here are the clues...
0:28:17 > 0:28:19I'll read all of those things one last time.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37There we are. Jason and Sandra, you go first.
0:28:41 > 0:28:45I know the top one, the writer, and I know the bottom one,
0:28:45 > 0:28:47because it happens to be the number that I live at.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49It's 42.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52- 42.- For the number. - Say Jason and Sandra.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55The number that is the answer. 42.
0:28:55 > 0:28:59- Barry and Harry, talk us through the board, if you can.- Um...
0:28:59 > 0:29:02Created by this British writer - Douglas Adams.
0:29:03 > 0:29:07Name of the guitarist in the rock band -
0:29:07 > 0:29:11I think it may be Zaphod Beeblebrox, but I'm not...
0:29:11 > 0:29:15I wouldn't stake my life on it. No idea.
0:29:15 > 0:29:21So, I think we'll go with, and hope that most people know that
0:29:21 > 0:29:23The Answer To Life, The Universe And Everything is 42.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26We're just going to hope that fewer people know that it
0:29:26 > 0:29:28was by Douglas Adams.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30So created by British writer Douglas Adams.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33You're going to go Douglas Adams. OK, Douglas Adams.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36We have 42 and we have Douglas Adams. Jason and Sandra said 42.
0:29:36 > 0:29:38Let's see if that's right and if it is,
0:29:38 > 0:29:40let's see how many people said that.
0:29:42 > 0:29:43It's right.
0:29:45 > 0:29:4633.
0:29:51 > 0:29:5433. Now, Barry and Harry have gone with Douglas Adams, the author.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56Let's see if that's right and if it is,
0:29:56 > 0:29:58let's see how many people said Douglas Adams.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07- APPLAUSE - OK, 47.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11Which means, Jason and Sandra, you're back in the game.
0:30:11 > 0:30:12After two questions, it's 1-1.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15Wouldn't it have been lovely if 42 had scored 42?
0:30:16 > 0:30:18I think I might just have folded down my computer,
0:30:18 > 0:30:22tucked it under my arm, and walked off and retired if that had happened.
0:30:22 > 0:30:23But unfortunately for you, it didn't.
0:30:23 > 0:30:25Let's take a look at the rest of these.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27Now the two words printed on the guide
0:30:27 > 0:30:29in large friendly letters are...
0:30:29 > 0:30:33- Don't panic.- Don't panic. That would have scored you 18 points.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35The guitarist, it's not Zaphod Beeblebrox,
0:30:35 > 0:30:39it's actually named after Douglas Adams' local estate agent.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42- Do you know it?- Hotblack Desiato. - Hotblack Desiato, yeah.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44That would have scored you 1 point.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46Very well done if you got that at home.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48The alien race that destroyed the Earth?
0:30:48 > 0:30:51- Begins with V. I can't. V-V. - It's the Vogons.
0:30:51 > 0:30:55- Vogons. - That would have scored 12 points.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57Very well done to anyone who got all five of those. Very impressive.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00Thank you very much indeed. OK, here comes your third question.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02Whoever wins this goes through to the final
0:31:02 > 0:31:06and plays for that jackpot. Best of luck to both pairs. It concerns...
0:31:13 > 0:31:17We are going to show you five names of such winners.
0:31:17 > 0:31:19We've removed alternate letters, I'm afraid.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22Can you fill them in and give us the most obscure of these?
0:31:22 > 0:31:24This should be fun.
0:31:24 > 0:31:29Oh, it will be. Let's reveal our WWE/WWF Championship winners.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31Here they are...
0:31:50 > 0:31:52I'll read those all again without the blanks.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10There are our WWE and WWF wrestling champions.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14Barry and Harry, you go first this time.
0:32:22 > 0:32:23OK, em...
0:32:25 > 0:32:28I think we know them all for sure,
0:32:28 > 0:32:30apart from the one,
0:32:30 > 0:32:32perversely, that we're going to go for.
0:32:32 > 0:32:36We're taking a bit of a calculated risk on the second one.
0:32:37 > 0:32:42We are hoping it's Macho Man Randy Savage.
0:32:42 > 0:32:46Macho Man Randy Savage, say Barry and Harry. Macho Man Randy Savage.
0:32:46 > 0:32:50Jason and Sandra, the board is yours, talk us through it.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53I think I do know them all, which is...
0:32:53 > 0:32:55It's kind of a guilty pleasure, I guess,
0:32:55 > 0:32:58or I'm about to really embarrass myself on national TV.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00Hulk Hogan.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02It is Macho Man Randy Savage.
0:33:02 > 0:33:04John Cena. The Undertaker.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07And Stone Cold Steve Austin.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09I don't know if it's going to beat Macho Man,
0:33:09 > 0:33:11that's probably what I would have gone for,
0:33:11 > 0:33:15but cos it's the longest, I'll go for Stone Cold Steve Austin.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17Stone Cold Steve Austin.
0:33:17 > 0:33:21So we have Macho Man Randy Savage, we have Stone Cold Steve Austin.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23Barry and Harry went with Macho Man Randy Savage.
0:33:23 > 0:33:27Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said that.
0:33:27 > 0:33:28It's right.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36Oh, very well done. 2.
0:33:39 > 0:33:412 for Macho Man Randy Savage.
0:33:42 > 0:33:45Jason and Sandra have gone for Stone Cold Steve Austin.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47Let's see if that's right and if it is,
0:33:47 > 0:33:48let's see how many people said that.
0:33:48 > 0:33:52This will decide who goes through to the final.
0:33:52 > 0:33:53It's right.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56I reckon this is going to be very, very close indeed.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59But 2 is what you have to beat. Oh, it is. Oh, 5.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05Very, very well done.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08I told you it was going to be close, and sure enough it was.
0:34:08 > 0:34:09But in the end, Barry and Harry,
0:34:09 > 0:34:13you just win it after three questions, 2-1.
0:34:13 > 0:34:14Terrific head-to-head.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16I think everybody knew all five of those,
0:34:16 > 0:34:19but again you chose the best answer on the board.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22Nothing you could have done to beat them there.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24Hulk Hogan would have scored you 49.
0:34:25 > 0:34:29John Cena is the current champion in 2013, would have scored you 10.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32The Undertaker would have scored you 14 points.
0:34:32 > 0:34:36So the two best answers on the board there. Well played both teams.
0:34:36 > 0:34:37Thank you very much indeed.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40The pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round, I'm afraid,
0:34:40 > 0:34:42is Jason and Sandra. Sense of deja vu.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44This is exactly where you were standing last time
0:34:44 > 0:34:46when we said goodbye. This time it's for real.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49We've loved having you on the show. Thank you for playing.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51Jason and Sandra - great contestants.
0:34:51 > 0:34:52APPLAUSE
0:34:52 > 0:34:56But for Barry and Harry, it's now time for our Pointless Final.
0:35:00 > 0:35:01Congratulations, Barry and Harry.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03You've fought off all the competition
0:35:03 > 0:35:06and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy, so very well done.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:14 > 0:35:18At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at...
0:35:18 > 0:35:19CHEERING
0:35:22 > 0:35:26A great, great performance. You've turned up, rhyming beautifully.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28You haven't been the lowest scorers in every round,
0:35:28 > 0:35:30but you've been very solid, very consistent.
0:35:30 > 0:35:35Macho Man Randy Savage came good for you. Who would have thought?
0:35:35 > 0:35:38What do you want to see come up in this last round?
0:35:38 > 0:35:41- Love to see films come up. - We've had that, so...
0:35:41 > 0:35:44- Probably won't because we had those photos.- Geography.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47Geography would have been nice, but we've had geography as well.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49Maybe something sports related.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52- Novels of Barbara Cartland, obviously.- Obviously. Very good.
0:35:52 > 0:35:55As always, you kick this round off by choosing a category.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57You have four options to choose from. They are...
0:36:06 > 0:36:07We're thinking Tom Cruise.
0:36:07 > 0:36:11But England World Cup Finals, that doesn't have to be football,
0:36:11 > 0:36:12so that could be anything.
0:36:12 > 0:36:16- Tom Cruise?- Tom Cruise. - OK, Tom Cruise it is, Richard.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19Yeah, we're going to give you three options now, guys.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22Hopefully somewhere here is something of use to you.
0:36:22 > 0:36:25We're looking for the name of any feature film made for cinema release
0:36:25 > 0:36:29for which Tom Cruise has received an acting credit, in the UK since 2000.
0:36:29 > 0:36:33We are looking for anyone who's been nominated in the Oscars
0:36:33 > 0:36:36for appearing in a film alongside Tom Cruise.
0:36:36 > 0:36:40Or we are looking for any of the call signs in Top Gun,
0:36:40 > 0:36:45apart from Maverick and Charlie. So any Tom Cruise film since 2000.
0:36:45 > 0:36:46Anyone who's been Oscar nominated in a film
0:36:46 > 0:36:48where they starred alongside Tom Cruise,
0:36:48 > 0:36:51or any character call sign in Top Gun,
0:36:51 > 0:36:52except for Maverick and Charlie.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55Very best of luck. Good luck at home as well.
0:36:55 > 0:36:56Thanks very much.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58You've got up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01All you need to win that £2,500 jackpot is for just
0:37:01 > 0:37:03one of those answers to be pointless.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06The answers you give can come from any of these categories.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08It could be all three from one category, two from one,
0:37:08 > 0:37:10one from another. It's completely up to you
0:37:10 > 0:37:13how you spread them across the categories. Are you ready?
0:37:13 > 0:37:14I think so.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock. There they are.
0:37:17 > 0:37:18Your time starts now.
0:37:19 > 0:37:26- Right. Hollywood...Merlin...are call signs in Top Gun.- OK.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29Can you think of any Tom Cruise films released...?
0:37:29 > 0:37:30I'm trying to think.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33My mind's gone blank now.
0:37:33 > 0:37:36Minority Report, that's an obvious one.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42Tom Cruise films released in the UK since 2000.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47Tom Cruise Oscar-nominated co-stars.
0:37:48 > 0:37:51A co-star in the same film, I'm assuming.
0:37:55 > 0:37:56Gary Oldman.
0:37:57 > 0:38:01- Interview with...- '90s.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03THEY MUMBLE
0:38:03 > 0:38:04Sorry, I'm going mad.
0:38:08 > 0:38:09Ten seconds left.
0:38:18 > 0:38:21OK, that is your time up. I now need your three answers.
0:38:21 > 0:38:22What are you going to give me?
0:38:22 > 0:38:25For the bottom one - Merlin and Hollywood.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27Merlin and Hollywood.
0:38:27 > 0:38:32And...for the Oscar-nominated co-stars, Jamie Foxx.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34Jamie Foxx. Of those three,
0:38:34 > 0:38:37- which is your best shot at a pointless answer.- Merlin.
0:38:37 > 0:38:39Merlin. OK, we'll put Merlin last.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42Which is your least likely to be pointless?
0:38:42 > 0:38:46I think Jamie Foxx. I mean, he was alongside Jamie Foxx in Collateral.
0:38:46 > 0:38:50- Hopefully he got a nomination for that.- Jamie Foxx we'll put first.
0:38:50 > 0:38:52We'll pop those up on the board in that order.
0:38:52 > 0:38:54Here they are. We have got...
0:38:58 > 0:39:01Well, very best of luck. Your first answer was Jamie Foxx.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04If this is right and it is pointless,
0:39:04 > 0:39:05you will leave here with £2,500.
0:39:05 > 0:39:07Barry, what would you do with your share of that?
0:39:07 > 0:39:09I'm getting married soon,
0:39:09 > 0:39:12so that will obviously go towards the wedding fund.
0:39:12 > 0:39:14Congratulations and best of luck. Harry?
0:39:16 > 0:39:18Someone I know is getting married soon.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21I'm the best man, so I've got no excuse about not having...
0:39:21 > 0:39:25- Good present.- Says Barry, nominating it for himself. Very good.
0:39:25 > 0:39:27That will go down very nicely, won't it, Barry?
0:39:27 > 0:39:29Spectacular. Well, best of luck.
0:39:29 > 0:39:30Three good answers on the board there.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32Your first answer was Jamie Foxx.
0:39:32 > 0:39:35Obviously, it has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot, but
0:39:35 > 0:39:39let's find out for £2,500 was Jamie Foxx and Oscar-nominated co-star?
0:39:42 > 0:39:43Yes, he was.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46OK, we will watch this go down the column.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48If it goes all the way down to zero, as I say,
0:39:48 > 0:39:50you will leave here with £2,500.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53It's now going down to single figures. Down it goes.
0:39:53 > 0:39:54Still going down to 1.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57- Oh!- Great answer, mate.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03That's a great answer.
0:40:03 > 0:40:05That's a great answer, and that was your first answer.
0:40:05 > 0:40:10Your least likely to be pointless. Your second answer was Hollywood.
0:40:10 > 0:40:12These were call signs from Top Gun.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16Again, it has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot.
0:40:16 > 0:40:17Let's find out -
0:40:17 > 0:40:20for £2,500, was Hollywood a call sign in Top Gun?
0:40:23 > 0:40:25Yes, it was.
0:40:25 > 0:40:29So your first answer, Jamie Foxx, took us all the way down to 1.
0:40:29 > 0:40:32Hollywood now takes us down through the 20s, into the teens.
0:40:32 > 0:40:35Still going down. Down it goes. In single figures. Still going down.
0:40:35 > 0:40:363 for Hollywood.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45But you chose Merlin to be your last.
0:40:45 > 0:40:49Maybe that will be less well remembered by our 100 people.
0:40:49 > 0:40:50Obviously it has to be correct,
0:40:50 > 0:40:53it has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56So for £2,500, was Merlin a call sign in Top Gun?
0:41:00 > 0:41:01Yes, it was.
0:41:01 > 0:41:05Jamie Foxx, first answer, took us down to 1.
0:41:05 > 0:41:07Hollywood, your second answer, took us down to 3.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12Your third answer Merlin down past 3. Oh, 2.
0:41:18 > 0:41:19Bad luck.
0:41:22 > 0:41:253 very, very good answers there. Three fantastic low scores.
0:41:25 > 0:41:28I'm afraid in this last round, we are only interested
0:41:28 > 0:41:29in pointless answers,
0:41:29 > 0:41:31so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £2,500.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33That will roll over onto the next show.
0:41:33 > 0:41:36But we've really enjoyed having you on the show. You have done so well.
0:41:36 > 0:41:37Fantastic performance.
0:41:37 > 0:41:41You get to take home a Pointless trophy each, so very well done.
0:41:41 > 0:41:42APPLAUSE
0:41:48 > 0:41:50Sorry, Barry and Harry. Terrific performance.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52If it's any consolation,
0:41:52 > 0:41:551, 3 and 2 is one of the best losing performances we've ever had.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57So it's terrific play. I'm ever so sorry.
0:41:57 > 0:41:59The two categories you went for, I think,
0:41:59 > 0:42:02are where most people will get their pointless answers at home.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05The films is very difficult, there's only one pointless answer for that,
0:42:05 > 0:42:07and that is Lions For Lambs.
0:42:07 > 0:42:09There's low scorers for Magnolia, Valkyrie,
0:42:09 > 0:42:10Tropic Thunder, Rock Of Ages.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12Those were the lowest scorers there.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15But the co-stars one. There's a few answers here you might have got.
0:42:15 > 0:42:17Certainly some people at home will have done.
