0:00:21 > 0:00:24- APPLAUSE - Thank you. Hello.

0:00:24 > 0:00:30I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless, the quiz show that puts obscure knowledge to the test.

0:00:30 > 0:00:31Let's meet today's players.

0:00:31 > 0:00:34APPLAUSE

0:00:34 > 0:00:36- Couple number one.- I'm Dan.

0:00:36 > 0:00:40- This is my housemate, Alice, and we live in Hackney.- Couple number two.

0:00:40 > 0:00:45- Hello. I'm Greg. This is my son, Alex. We're from Bushey in Hertfordshire.- Couple number three.

0:00:45 > 0:00:48I'm Derek and this is my daughter, Charlotte. We live in Birmingham.

0:00:48 > 0:00:50And finally, couple number four.

0:00:50 > 0:00:54I'm Glyn, this is my friend Dave and we're from West Yorkshire.

0:00:54 > 0:00:56And these are today's contestants.

0:00:56 > 0:00:58APPLAUSE

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

0:01:01 > 0:01:07That just leaves one more person for me to introduce. They always say pigs are very intelligent animals.

0:01:07 > 0:01:11This guy is like ten pigs rolled into one and just as distressing as that sounds.

0:01:11 > 0:01:14- It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.- Hiya. Hi, everybody.

0:01:14 > 0:01:17APPLAUSE

0:01:17 > 0:01:19- Hiya. Afternoon.- And to you.

0:01:19 > 0:01:22See Glyn trying to get a round of applause there.

0:01:22 > 0:01:25Glyn and David, you can already tell they're going to be trouble.

0:01:25 > 0:01:28- Yeah.- It's going to be a tough show for Glyn and David.

0:01:28 > 0:01:31They've got two very good returning pairs who were both quite

0:01:31 > 0:01:34unfortunate to get knocked out. Dan and Alice on podium one again.

0:01:34 > 0:01:40And also Derek was unfortunate, I think, last time. Good Take That knowledge, but not quite good enough.

0:01:40 > 0:01:45- But I think it's going to be a pretty tough show to win. - Exciting. Thanks, Richard.

0:01:45 > 0:01:48All our questions have been put to 100 people before the show.

0:01:48 > 0:01:52Our contestants need to find the obscure answers they didn't get.

0:01:52 > 0:01:56Everyone's trying to find a pointless answer, an answer that none of our 100 people gave.

0:01:56 > 0:01:59Each time that happens, we add £250 to the jackpot.

0:01:59 > 0:02:02Keith and Dave didn't win our jackpot last time, so today

0:02:02 > 0:02:07we add another £1,000 to that, so the jackpot starts off at £2,000.

0:02:07 > 0:02:11APPLAUSE

0:02:11 > 0:02:13If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.

0:02:13 > 0:02:18APPLAUSE

0:02:18 > 0:02:20In this first round, I want an answer from each of you

0:02:20 > 0:02:25but there is to be no conferring. Whichever pair has the highest score will be heading home.

0:02:25 > 0:02:30Do what you can to make sure that's not you. Our first category today is...

0:02:32 > 0:02:37Film Characters. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going first and second?

0:02:37 > 0:02:40And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:02:43 > 0:02:46And the question concerns...

0:02:46 > 0:02:51- Film Doctors, Richard. - On each pass, we're going to show you the names of seven

0:02:51 > 0:02:53characters from feature films, all of whom were doctors.

0:02:53 > 0:02:56Tell us the actor or actress who played them, please.

0:02:56 > 0:02:5914 in all to have a go at at home. Best of luck.

0:02:59 > 0:03:03We're looking for the name of the actor or actress who portrayed these doctors on screen.

0:03:03 > 0:03:07And here is our first board of seven.

0:03:25 > 0:03:29I'm going to read those all again without the bits in brackets.

0:03:39 > 0:03:42There we are. Seven doctors. Seven films required.

0:03:42 > 0:03:45Alice and Dan, you all drew lots before the show and today,

0:03:45 > 0:03:49- you're going to go first. Alice, welcome back.- Thank you.

0:03:49 > 0:03:53- Remind us, what do you do? - I study photography at university.

0:03:53 > 0:03:56You're studying photography, what year are you in?

0:03:56 > 0:03:59- I'm just finishing my second year.- One more to go.- Yes.

0:03:59 > 0:04:02And you're going to go on with photography afterwards?

0:04:02 > 0:04:04- I hope so, yeah.- Excellent. How about film?

0:04:04 > 0:04:07- Does that interest you at all?- Yes.

0:04:07 > 0:04:10- Particularly films with doctors in? - Yeah.

0:04:10 > 0:04:14- But I'm not very good at remembering people's names.- Ah.

0:04:14 > 0:04:17So I'm going to say...

0:04:17 > 0:04:20Anthony Hopkins for Dr Hannibal Lecter.

0:04:20 > 0:04:23Anthony Hopkins for Hannibal Lecter. Let's see if that's right,

0:04:23 > 0:04:26let's see how many people said Anthony Hopkins.

0:04:29 > 0:04:30It's right.

0:04:30 > 0:04:33- 57. - APPLAUSE

0:04:33 > 0:04:37That's not a bad score. But you are taking one of the easier answers off the board.

0:04:37 > 0:04:43- If other people are stuck, you might have done something clever, tactically.- Better safe than sorry.

0:04:43 > 0:04:45He's also been played by Brian Cox in other films

0:04:45 > 0:04:49and now played by Mads Mikkelsen on TV as well, Hannibal Lecter.

0:04:49 > 0:04:53Thanks very much indeed. Greg, welcome to Pointless.

0:04:53 > 0:04:57- What do you do? - I'm a sustainability manager.- Wow!

0:04:57 > 0:05:01What that involves is looking after health, safety, environmental issues

0:05:01 > 0:05:04that involve when you place products on the market in Europe,

0:05:04 > 0:05:08making sure you understand all the requirements for those products.

0:05:08 > 0:05:12And then you go beyond that to do basically what customers ask for.

0:05:12 > 0:05:16- They want extra information, eco-labels, things like that. - Can I ask a question?- Yes.

0:05:16 > 0:05:18What's an "echo" label?

0:05:18 > 0:05:20An eco-label is an environmental label that gets

0:05:20 > 0:05:25- placed on products when they meet certain specific criteria. - Like "eco"?- Like eco-labels.

0:05:25 > 0:05:30- I thought "echo", E-C-H-O.- Yeah, that would be good.- Sounded quite cool.

0:05:30 > 0:05:32- A label that comes back and back. - But E-C-O...

0:05:32 > 0:05:36- HE YAWNS E-C-H-O, now you're talking!- OK.

0:05:38 > 0:05:40I'm going to invent an echo label.

0:05:40 > 0:05:43- You could call it "label...abel". - LAUGHTER

0:05:43 > 0:05:48What about a label where... You know if you can't find something in the supermarket, you go,

0:05:48 > 0:05:52"Bacon," and it goes, "Bacon," and you look to see where it is.

0:05:52 > 0:05:53An echo label.

0:05:53 > 0:05:57- "Milk!" "Milk!" Oh, there it is! - No, you wouldn't hear it the first time.

0:05:57 > 0:06:00You'd have lots of batty people shouting "MILK!" in supermarkets.

0:06:00 > 0:06:04And then you'd have lots of labels going, "Milk," quietly back.

0:06:04 > 0:06:06It'd be a nightmare! It'd be like Babel.

0:06:06 > 0:06:12I tell you what, I won't give you a percentage of it. Just me and Greg, that's fine. Me and Greg will do it.

0:06:12 > 0:06:16Me, Greg and the audience, we will all sign up to it.

0:06:16 > 0:06:19You carry on presenting this.

0:06:19 > 0:06:21And we'll be in the Maldives, if you need us.

0:06:21 > 0:06:24LAUGHTER

0:06:24 > 0:06:26Yeah... OK.

0:06:26 > 0:06:30Anyway, Greg, we want to know who played these doctors on screen.

0:06:30 > 0:06:33What are you going to go for?

0:06:33 > 0:06:39I think I'm going to take a guess that Dr Zhivago was Omar Sharif.

0:06:39 > 0:06:43Omar Sharif, says Greg, for Dr Yuri Zhivago.

0:06:43 > 0:06:46Let's see if it's right and how many people said Omar Sharif.

0:06:48 > 0:06:50Absolutely right.

0:06:50 > 0:06:5357, our high score at the moment. You pass that.

0:06:53 > 0:06:5531.

0:06:55 > 0:06:58APPLAUSE

0:06:58 > 0:07:00Well done. I think you knew that one,

0:07:00 > 0:07:04but you doubt yourself the second the cameras turn on.

0:07:04 > 0:07:05Yeah, Omar Sharif.

0:07:05 > 0:07:10- Thanks very much. Derek, welcome back.- Thank you.- Great shirt, Derek. - Thank you very much.

0:07:10 > 0:07:13Very good indeed. It hasn't got any writing on it, has it?

0:07:13 > 0:07:16- It's got images of America. - Images of America.

0:07:16 > 0:07:20- If that comes up as a round, that is cheating.- Yeah!

0:07:20 > 0:07:24- Remind us what you do, Derek. - I'm a solicitor in Birmingham.

0:07:24 > 0:07:26- A solicitor and part-time judge as well.- Yeah.

0:07:26 > 0:07:29Which is the best bit of being a judge?

0:07:29 > 0:07:32Well, making sure that justice is done.

0:07:32 > 0:07:38- OK. I was hoping maybe it was the wig, the deference...- The tights.

0:07:38 > 0:07:40- There we go. The tights. - LAUGHTER

0:07:40 > 0:07:43What are you going to go for? Are there any answers up there left that you know?

0:07:43 > 0:07:46There's one or two I think I know.

0:07:46 > 0:07:50I'm going to go for Dr Benjamin Stone and Michael J Fox.

0:07:50 > 0:07:54Dr Benjamin Stone, Michael J Fox. There it is at the bottom.

0:07:54 > 0:07:57Let's see if that's right and how many people said Michael J Fox.

0:07:59 > 0:08:00Well, it's right.

0:08:00 > 0:08:0257, our high score at this point. 31, our low.

0:08:02 > 0:08:06You pass the high, you pass the low. Look at that, 18, a new low score.

0:08:06 > 0:08:08- APPLAUSE - Well done, Derek.

0:08:10 > 0:08:12That's a very good answer.

0:08:12 > 0:08:15Also starring Woody Harrelson, Doc Hollywood.

0:08:15 > 0:08:18- Thanks very much. Glyn, welcome.- Welcome. Hello.

0:08:18 > 0:08:21Great to have you here from West Yorkshire. What do you do, Glyn?

0:08:21 > 0:08:26Basically, now, I'm a birder. I did do a bit of teaching for 30 years.

0:08:26 > 0:08:30- What did you teach?- It was demanding and I missed a lot of birds,

0:08:30 > 0:08:35- so I got early retirement.- So you're a twitcher?- Ah!- Oh, no. you're not.

0:08:35 > 0:08:37You're a birder, you said. What's that?

0:08:37 > 0:08:41Twitchers just stay home and wait for the telephone to ring.

0:08:41 > 0:08:43Birders actually go out and find the birds.

0:08:43 > 0:08:47So you're out and about every weekend with the binoculars?

0:08:47 > 0:08:51- Every day!- Every day? - Except when I'm on Pointless.- Oh!

0:08:51 > 0:08:52You know what's going to happen,

0:08:52 > 0:08:55something's going to come flying in, some

0:08:55 > 0:09:01crested...grebe is going to come in and be seen down in...somewhere.

0:09:01 > 0:09:05You've taken my phone off me, so I wouldn't know, would I?

0:09:05 > 0:09:08Oh, Glyn. I'm devastated.

0:09:08 > 0:09:12It's extraordinary that our team do take everyone's phones off them

0:09:12 > 0:09:16and no-one's ever... They sell them down at Shepherd's Bush Market

0:09:16 > 0:09:19and no-one ever seems to mind.

0:09:19 > 0:09:21And WE get the proceeds.

0:09:21 > 0:09:26Yeah. To invest in echo labels. I can't believe you're doing that!

0:09:26 > 0:09:29"Potatoes." "Potatoes..."

0:09:29 > 0:09:30LAUGHTER

0:09:30 > 0:09:34- But what if what you're looking for is...- Gone.- Moist toilet roll.

0:09:34 > 0:09:38"Moist toilet roll." I know. There are some things people won't want to shout out.

0:09:38 > 0:09:41You don't have to. It's not mandatory.

0:09:41 > 0:09:44- I'm still not coming on board. - You know what, mate?

0:09:44 > 0:09:46You're not invited on board.

0:09:48 > 0:09:51Now then, Glyn. You're the last person to have this board.

0:09:51 > 0:09:55Do you fancy taking us through it and filling in all the blanks?

0:09:55 > 0:09:57Guess which three I knew.

0:09:57 > 0:10:01- Ah, this is music to Alice and Dan's ears.- Yeah.

0:10:01 > 0:10:04I could have a guess, I suppose.

0:10:04 > 0:10:10I have just an inkling that Dr Moreau might be Marlon Brando.

0:10:10 > 0:10:12So I'll go for that.

0:10:12 > 0:10:17- Dr Moreau, Marlon Brando. 1996, though.- It's a bit late, isn't it?

0:10:17 > 0:10:20That might worry me. Let's see. You never know. Let's find out.

0:10:20 > 0:10:24Dr Moreau, Marlon Brando, is that right and how many people said it?

0:10:24 > 0:10:26It is right.

0:10:27 > 0:10:29Very well done indeed, Glyn.

0:10:32 > 0:10:35- APPLAUSE - Very well done! Look at that!

0:10:35 > 0:10:382 for Marlon Brando.

0:10:38 > 0:10:41Only the best score of the round, Glyn, so far.

0:10:41 > 0:10:46Terrific answer, Glyn. Well played. You were sort of forced into it, but you knew it somewhere.

0:10:46 > 0:10:49That was very late in his career. A disastrous film.

0:10:49 > 0:10:52He was 25 stone by the time they were...

0:10:52 > 0:10:55He essentially WAS the Island of Dr Moreau.

0:10:55 > 0:11:00At one point, he decided to wear an ice bucket as a hat. He decided that's what his character would do

0:11:00 > 0:11:04and nobody dared question him. If you watch the film, he wears an ice bucket as a hat.

0:11:04 > 0:11:08LAUGHTER Let's fill in the rest of this board.

0:11:08 > 0:11:12- Dr Malcolm Sayer, Awakenings, do you know that one?- No.

0:11:12 > 0:11:15Robin Williams. Some people at home might have got that one.

0:11:15 > 0:11:20Would have scored 13. Dr Maggie Rice is Meg Ryan.

0:11:20 > 0:11:22That would have scored you 11.

0:11:22 > 0:11:26And another very good answer, if you knew Dr Chase Meridian was

0:11:26 > 0:11:28Nicole Kidman, you'd have scored 3 points.

0:11:28 > 0:11:31Marlon Brando, Glyn, is the best answer on that board.

0:11:31 > 0:11:34Thanks, Richard. We're halfway through the round.

0:11:34 > 0:11:37Let's take a look at the scores. 2, Glyn, for Marlon Brando.

0:11:37 > 0:11:40Very well done. That was a great inkling.

0:11:40 > 0:11:42Puts you in a strong position.

0:11:42 > 0:11:45We then travel up to 18 to find Derek and Charlotte.

0:11:45 > 0:11:49Up to 31, Greg and Alex. Then up to 57, Alice and Dan.

0:11:49 > 0:11:52Dan, you know all about film. Film is your bread and butter.

0:11:52 > 0:11:56- This is what worries me. What if I don't know any of the doctors? - You're going to be brilliant!

0:11:56 > 0:12:02Best of luck. We're coming back down the line. Can the second players please step up to the podium?

0:12:02 > 0:12:07OK, David, we're going to put seven more doctors on the board

0:12:07 > 0:12:09and here they are.

0:12:31 > 0:12:35I'll read those all one last time without the bits in brackets.

0:12:43 > 0:12:47We are looking for the name of the actor or actress who played

0:12:47 > 0:12:50these doctors on screen. David, you're going to have to try

0:12:50 > 0:12:53and find the one you think the fewest of our 100 people knew.

0:12:53 > 0:12:58- David, welcome. Also from West Yorkshire.- Yes.- And also a birder.

0:12:58 > 0:13:03- I am, yeah.- Do you and Glyn frequently go and bird together?

0:13:03 > 0:13:04Is that the word?

0:13:04 > 0:13:08Yeah. Bird. We go on holidays together as well. Abroad.

0:13:08 > 0:13:10Bird-watching.

0:13:10 > 0:13:12Good stuff. There you are. You're on 2.

0:13:12 > 0:13:15Our high scorers, on 57, Dan and Alice.

0:13:15 > 0:13:19If you can score 54 or less, you're in the next round for sure.

0:13:19 > 0:13:20I know a couple,

0:13:20 > 0:13:24but I'm just having...trouble remembering the names.

0:13:24 > 0:13:26Um...

0:13:26 > 0:13:29Dr Kenneth Tinkle, Jim Dale.

0:13:29 > 0:13:32Jim Dale for Dr Kenneth Tinkle, says David.

0:13:32 > 0:13:34Jim Dale. Here comes your red line.

0:13:34 > 0:13:37If you get below that red line, you are in the next round.

0:13:37 > 0:13:40Let's see if Jim Dale's right for Dr Tinkle.

0:13:41 > 0:13:43Oh, bad luck, David.

0:13:43 > 0:13:47Bad luck. Good guess, but an incorrect answer in this instance.

0:13:47 > 0:13:50That scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 102.

0:13:50 > 0:13:52Sorry, David. It's a very good guess.

0:13:52 > 0:13:55Jim Dale does play a doctor in that film, but not Dr Tinkle.

0:13:55 > 0:13:57He plays Dr Kilmore.

0:13:57 > 0:14:00LAUGHTER

0:14:00 > 0:14:04- Thanks very much indeed. Now, Charlotte. Welcome back.- Thank you.

0:14:04 > 0:14:07Welcome back. What happened last time?

0:14:07 > 0:14:11We scraped through the first round, more by luck than judgment,

0:14:11 > 0:14:16and then, to my absolute shame, went out on our knowledge of Take That.

0:14:16 > 0:14:19- Remind us what you do. - I'm a barrister.

0:14:19 > 0:14:21When you're not barristing, what do you get up to?

0:14:21 > 0:14:26- I have a passion for Formula One. - Do you?- I do, yes.

0:14:26 > 0:14:28I try to go to a race in every season.

0:14:28 > 0:14:31So looking forward to that this year.

0:14:31 > 0:14:35- Good stuff. OK, what are you going to go for on this board?- Um...

0:14:36 > 0:14:39There are more familiar characters on this board than the last board,

0:14:39 > 0:14:45but I think I'm going to play it safe and say Mike Myers for Dr Evil.

0:14:45 > 0:14:49Dr Evil, Mike Myers. You want to score 83 or less,

0:14:49 > 0:14:53nice low score from Derek in the first pass. Let's see if that's right, Mike Myers,

0:14:53 > 0:14:58and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it. There is your red line.

0:14:59 > 0:15:03It's right and you're in Round Two, very well done indeed, Charlotte.

0:15:03 > 0:15:06- 30. - APPLAUSE

0:15:06 > 0:15:0748, your total.

0:15:09 > 0:15:14Well played, Charlotte. Very safe. The diabolical Dr Evil.

0:15:14 > 0:15:18- It's a great character, isn't it? - Mm.- Great performance as well.

0:15:18 > 0:15:22Now, Alex, welcome to the show. What do you do, Alex?

0:15:22 > 0:15:26I'm a support worker for a learning disabilities charity.

0:15:26 > 0:15:29When you're not doing that, what do you get up to?

0:15:29 > 0:15:33Just typical activities, really. Swing dancing and tenpin bowling.

0:15:33 > 0:15:36- Swing dancing?- Yes.- Are you good? - I like to think so.

0:15:36 > 0:15:39I've got a lot to work on, but I've been dancing on

0:15:39 > 0:15:42and off for two or three years and it's great fun.

0:15:42 > 0:15:47- You can only do that with someone else who knows what they're doing. - Yeah, it helps. Absolutely.

0:15:47 > 0:15:49OK, in this round, you are on 31.

0:15:49 > 0:15:52102 is our high score from Glyn and David,

0:15:52 > 0:15:56so if you can score 70 or less, you're in the next round.

0:15:56 > 0:15:58Um... It's pretty good.

0:15:58 > 0:16:02I think I'm going to go for Dr John Dolittle, Eddie Murphy.

0:16:02 > 0:16:06Eddie Murphy for Dr John Dolittle. Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.

0:16:06 > 0:16:10Here comes your red line. Let's see if you can get below that.

0:16:11 > 0:16:13It's right and you are through, well done.

0:16:15 > 0:16:18- 38. - APPLAUSE

0:16:18 > 0:16:2038. 69, your total.

0:16:20 > 0:16:23It's another good answer. Had four sequels, that film,

0:16:23 > 0:16:26but Eddie Murphy only in one of the sequels.

0:16:26 > 0:16:29- Thanks very much. Now, Dan.- Hi.

0:16:29 > 0:16:33- Tell us what you do.- I do comms for the National Union of Students.

0:16:33 > 0:16:36- How much of your time does that take up?- That's my day job.

0:16:36 > 0:16:39But it's your night job that's the interesting one.

0:16:39 > 0:16:42- Well, they're both interesting... - Of course they are.

0:16:42 > 0:16:44But I run a film website as well.

0:16:44 > 0:16:48- You compile the whole site and run it.- Go and do the interviews and...

0:16:48 > 0:16:51- So you go off to junkets, those kind of things. You get in there.- Yeah.

0:16:51 > 0:16:56You have a job to do here. You're on 57. You have to score 44 or less.

0:16:56 > 0:17:00I'm hoping that you can talk us through this board.

0:17:00 > 0:17:02I haven't seen some of these films.

0:17:02 > 0:17:06I think Dr Marta Shearing was Rachel Weisz cos

0:17:06 > 0:17:08I kind of remember her on the poster.

0:17:08 > 0:17:11I would guess at Kenneth Tinkle being Kenneth Williams.

0:17:11 > 0:17:13I've gone blank on Ghostbuster character names,

0:17:13 > 0:17:16but I could say Bill Murray for that.

0:17:16 > 0:17:19I think I'm going to go for what came into my head instantly

0:17:19 > 0:17:23and go Dr Christmas Jones, Denise Richards.

0:17:23 > 0:17:25Denise Richards, says Dan, for Dr Christmas Jones.

0:17:25 > 0:17:29Here comes your red line. Get below that, you're in Round Two. Let's find out if that's right

0:17:29 > 0:17:34and if it is, let's see how many people said Denise Richards.

0:17:34 > 0:17:36It is right.

0:17:36 > 0:17:40You are in Round Two. Very well done.

0:17:40 > 0:17:42- Good answer. Look at that! 3! - APPLAUSE

0:17:44 > 0:17:46Very well done indeed.

0:17:46 > 0:17:49Takes your total up to 60, second lowest score of the round.

0:17:49 > 0:17:51She was a nuclear physicist in that film

0:17:51 > 0:17:53and every other answer you gave was correct as well.

0:17:53 > 0:17:56Dr Kenneth Tinkle was Kenneth Williams.

0:17:56 > 0:18:01That would have scored you 37 points. Dr Pete Venkman was Bill Murray.

0:18:01 > 0:18:05That would have scored you 9 points. Dr Marta Shearing was Rachel Weisz.

0:18:05 > 0:18:07That would have scored you 1 point.

0:18:07 > 0:18:10And this last one is a pointless answer.

0:18:10 > 0:18:14Very well done anyone at home who knew that Dr Luther Brooks was

0:18:14 > 0:18:18- played by Sidney Poitier. - Thank you very much indeed.

0:18:18 > 0:18:21At the end of our first round, the pair heading home...

0:18:21 > 0:18:22Well, you can get back online

0:18:22 > 0:18:25and see what people are seeing out there in the hedgerows.

0:18:25 > 0:18:28David and Glyn, we have to say goodbye to you.

0:18:28 > 0:18:32We look forward to seeing you again next time. Thanks for playing.

0:18:32 > 0:18:35APPLAUSE

0:18:35 > 0:18:38But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.

0:18:38 > 0:18:41APPLAUSE

0:18:42 > 0:18:47So we're down to three pairs and there's only going to be room for two pairs in our head-to-head round.

0:18:47 > 0:18:50We'll be sending another pair away at the end of this round.

0:18:50 > 0:18:56The lowest scoring individual, Dan, fabulous performance there with Denise Richards.

0:18:56 > 0:19:00- A bit lucky.- No, you took us through the board very well as well.

0:19:00 > 0:19:03Rachel Weisz, you knew. Could have been even lower.

0:19:03 > 0:19:05- But no-one likes a show-off. - LAUGHTER

0:19:05 > 0:19:09Charlotte and Derek, our lowest scoring pair. Well done.

0:19:09 > 0:19:13That's more like it. And Greg and Alex, very solid, nothing wrong with that.

0:19:13 > 0:19:15I think this is going to be exciting.

0:19:15 > 0:19:18Our category for Round Two is...

0:19:18 > 0:19:20Olympians.

0:19:20 > 0:19:23Can you all decide in your pairs who's going first and second?

0:19:23 > 0:19:27And whoever's going first, step up to the podium.

0:19:27 > 0:19:30Let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.

0:19:30 > 0:19:35We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...

0:19:39 > 0:19:44Team GB track and field athletes at the London 2012 Olympics.

0:19:44 > 0:19:48We're looking for the name of any athlete who participated in any

0:19:48 > 0:19:53athletics event in the 2012 Olympics for Team GB.

0:19:53 > 0:19:57Any track or field event that comes under the term "athletics".

0:19:57 > 0:19:59- Best of luck. - Thanks very much indeed.

0:19:59 > 0:20:01- Now, Dan...- Yeah.

0:20:01 > 0:20:05- Olympics 2012. Did you follow them closely?- I did follow them

0:20:05 > 0:20:08and I've got loads of surnames in my head without their first names.

0:20:08 > 0:20:10So...

0:20:10 > 0:20:13I don't know if this will be fairly obvious or not.

0:20:13 > 0:20:16I'm going to go with Greg Rutherford.

0:20:16 > 0:20:19Greg Rutherford, says Dan. Let's see if that's right

0:20:19 > 0:20:23and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.

0:20:23 > 0:20:25Absolutely right.

0:20:28 > 0:20:31- 11. - APPLAUSE

0:20:31 > 0:20:35That seems a good score. 11 for Greg Rutherford.

0:20:35 > 0:20:39Well played, Dan. Won a gold medal on Super Saturday in the long jump.

0:20:39 > 0:20:43- Greg.- Yes.- We're looking for anyone from Team GB who

0:20:43 > 0:20:46competed in the athletics events at London 2012.

0:20:46 > 0:20:50I'm going to have to go safe, I think, and go for Jessica Ennis.

0:20:50 > 0:20:53Jessica Ennis, says Greg. Let's see if that's right

0:20:53 > 0:20:58and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Jessica Ennis.

0:20:58 > 0:20:59It's right.

0:21:01 > 0:21:06- 44. - APPLAUSE

0:21:06 > 0:21:09Won gold, of course, in the heptathlon.

0:21:09 > 0:21:12- Thanks very much, Richard. Charlotte...- Yes.

0:21:12 > 0:21:16I've got a couple of names in my head,

0:21:16 > 0:21:19but I think, just to be safe, I'm going to say Dai Greene.

0:21:19 > 0:21:21Dai Greene, says Charlotte. Dai Greene.

0:21:21 > 0:21:25Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said it.

0:21:29 > 0:21:34Well, 11 is our low score. Are you going to pass that? Yes, you are. 1!

0:21:34 > 0:21:38- Very well done! - APPLAUSE

0:21:38 > 0:21:40Very well done indeed. 1 for Dai Greene.

0:21:40 > 0:21:46That's a terrific answer, Charlotte. Yeah, the 400m hurdler. He was hotly tipped, but didn't win a medal.

0:21:46 > 0:21:49We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at the scores.

0:21:49 > 0:21:531, the lowest score of that pass, very well done indeed, Charlotte. Fantastic answer, Dai Greene.

0:21:53 > 0:21:56Then up to 11, where we find Dan and Alice.

0:21:56 > 0:22:00Then up to 44, Greg... That's quite a high score.

0:22:00 > 0:22:02Luckily, I think

0:22:02 > 0:22:07Alex has a much better memory of the Olympics 2012 and is going

0:22:07 > 0:22:10to find a brilliant score that's going to save you, I think.

0:22:10 > 0:22:12Good luck with that, Alex.

0:22:12 > 0:22:15Can the second players please step up to the podium?

0:22:16 > 0:22:20We're looking for anyone selected to compete for Team GB

0:22:20 > 0:22:23in an athletics event in the 2012 Olympics.

0:22:23 > 0:22:25Derek, you're in a very strong position,

0:22:25 > 0:22:29courtesy of Charlotte and Dai Greene, but mainly Charlotte.

0:22:29 > 0:22:31Um...

0:22:31 > 0:22:36- Perri Shakes-Drayton. - Perri Shakes-Drayton, says Derek.

0:22:36 > 0:22:39You want to be scoring 42 or less with this to avoid becoming

0:22:39 > 0:22:41the new high scorers.

0:22:41 > 0:22:45Let's see if it's right, let's see how many people said it.

0:22:45 > 0:22:48It is right.

0:22:49 > 0:22:50You are through to Round Three.

0:22:53 > 0:22:55- And it's pointless! - CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:22:55 > 0:23:00Perri Shakes-Drayton, very well done indeed, Derek.

0:23:00 > 0:23:04That adds £250 to today's jackpot, takes the total up to £2,250.

0:23:04 > 0:23:05It scores you nothing.

0:23:05 > 0:23:09It leaves your total at a very impressive low 1.

0:23:09 > 0:23:12- Very well done indeed. - Terrific answer, Derek.

0:23:12 > 0:23:16- You had to do that after Charlotte had got 1.- Absolutely!

0:23:16 > 0:23:21Thanks very much. Now, Alex, you are the high scorers.

0:23:21 > 0:23:23And Derek's just scored a pointless answer.

0:23:23 > 0:23:26The pressure couldn't be higher on you, I'm afraid.

0:23:26 > 0:23:30- Did you watch the Olympics? - I watched a bit, but not much of the athletics.

0:23:30 > 0:23:34I can name athletes from anything but athletics,

0:23:34 > 0:23:36but I can only think of Mo Farah.

0:23:36 > 0:23:39OK. Well, Mo Farah. This will be fun. Let's see.

0:23:39 > 0:23:42You're the high scorers as it is, but let's see how

0:23:42 > 0:23:45far down the column Mo Farah can take you.

0:23:47 > 0:23:50It's right.

0:23:50 > 0:23:54- 53. - APPLAUSE

0:23:54 > 0:23:56That's a big one. 97 is your total.

0:23:56 > 0:24:00And that completes our triumvirate of athletics gold medals on that

0:24:00 > 0:24:04- Super Saturday. - Thank you, Richard. Alice.

0:24:04 > 0:24:09- Yes.- Did you follow the Olympics?- I didn't watch a single minute of it.

0:24:11 > 0:24:12Oh, Dan!

0:24:14 > 0:24:16- Did you listen to it?- No.

0:24:16 > 0:24:20- Did you talk about it in the pub? - No.

0:24:20 > 0:24:24- Were you coach for the men's 4x100m relay team?- Yes.

0:24:24 > 0:24:27- Oh, that's good. - But I've forgotten their names.

0:24:27 > 0:24:29Oh, no!

0:24:29 > 0:24:31- Forgetful coach!- That's annoying. - Yeah.

0:24:33 > 0:24:38So the only person whose name I can remember...

0:24:38 > 0:24:41..who runs...

0:24:41 > 0:24:43..is Kelly Holmes.

0:24:44 > 0:24:48Kelly Holmes, says Alice. Is it right?

0:24:52 > 0:24:55Bad luck, Alice. I'm afraid...

0:24:55 > 0:25:00That's the penalty, you see, for not watching the Olympics. That scores you the maximum of 100 points,

0:25:00 > 0:25:04takes your total up to 111, which I'm afraid sees you out of the game.

0:25:04 > 0:25:06Yeah, retired in 2005, Kelly Holmes.

0:25:06 > 0:25:08She was one of the seven heroes

0:25:08 > 0:25:11who helped light the Olympic flame at the opening ceremony, though.

0:25:11 > 0:25:14There's a lot of pointless answers on this list.

0:25:14 > 0:25:16I'll take you through some of the 1-pointers first.

0:25:16 > 0:25:19Dai Greene is obviously a 1-pointer but just in case you just missed out,

0:25:19 > 0:25:21you would have got 1 point for Martin Rooney,

0:25:21 > 0:25:231 point for Andy Turner, Tiffany Porter.

0:25:23 > 0:25:24You would have got 1 point

0:25:24 > 0:25:27for my favourite-named person at the whole Olympics,

0:25:27 > 0:25:28who was Katarina Johnson-Thompson.

0:25:28 > 0:25:32LAUGHTER 1 point.

0:25:32 > 0:25:34Let's take a look at the pointless answers,

0:25:34 > 0:25:35a few of them anyway.

0:25:35 > 0:25:36Christian Malcolm,

0:25:36 > 0:25:40who was selected for the 200m, also the sprint relay.

0:25:40 > 0:25:43Freya Murray, who was a marathon runner.

0:25:43 > 0:25:46Hannah England, who qualified for the 1,500 metres.

0:25:46 > 0:25:48Terrific athlete, it was a pointless answer.

0:25:48 > 0:25:51Lawrence Okoye. He's a very interesting character.

0:25:51 > 0:25:52Took up discus very, very recently

0:25:52 > 0:25:55and became world ranked almost instantly.

0:25:55 > 0:25:56Gave it up straight after the Olympics

0:25:56 > 0:25:59and has now been picked up by an NFL team.

0:25:59 > 0:26:02Never played that before but he's such an incredible athlete, this guy.

0:26:02 > 0:26:04Lee McConnell, the 400m.

0:26:04 > 0:26:07Mara Yamauchi, who was also a marathon runner.

0:26:07 > 0:26:10Mark Lewis-Francis, who was picked for the sprint relay.

0:26:10 > 0:26:12There's Perri Shakes-Drayton.

0:26:12 > 0:26:14And Stuart Stokes, who is a steeplechaser.

0:26:14 > 0:26:17Very well done if you said any of those at home.

0:26:17 > 0:26:20Let's take a look now at the three most popular answers,

0:26:20 > 0:26:22the ones that most of our 100 people said.

0:26:22 > 0:26:24There will be a familiar ring to these three.

0:26:24 > 0:26:27- There they are. Farah, Ennis, Rutherford.- Brilliant.

0:26:27 > 0:26:29Thank you very much indeed. So at the end of that round,

0:26:29 > 0:26:32it's Dan and Alice we have to say goodbye to.

0:26:32 > 0:26:34I'm so sorry. Brilliant performance in the last round.

0:26:34 > 0:26:37Dan, very well done there. Fantastic low-scoring.

0:26:37 > 0:26:39Not bad scoring either with Greg Rutherford, there.

0:26:39 > 0:26:41Although he was the third highest scorer,

0:26:41 > 0:26:4411 was a cracking score there. We have to say goodbye to you, though.

0:26:44 > 0:26:46It's been great having you on the show.

0:26:46 > 0:26:48Thanks so much for playing. Dan and Alice.

0:26:48 > 0:26:51APPLAUSE

0:26:51 > 0:26:54But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.

0:27:00 > 0:27:03Congratulations, Charlotte and Derek, Greg and Alex.

0:27:03 > 0:27:05you are now one step closer to the final

0:27:05 > 0:27:07and a chance to play for our jackpot,

0:27:07 > 0:27:09which currently stands at...

0:27:09 > 0:27:12APPLAUSE

0:27:12 > 0:27:14Now, we need to decide who's going to play for that money.

0:27:14 > 0:27:16To do that, you're now going to go head-to-head.

0:27:16 > 0:27:19But the big difference is you're now allowed to play as a team.

0:27:19 > 0:27:22You can confer and the first pair to win two questions

0:27:22 > 0:27:24will be playing for that jackpot.

0:27:24 > 0:27:27So Charlotte and Derek, very well done.

0:27:27 > 0:27:31Round Two last time but all memories of Take That can be wiped!

0:27:31 > 0:27:34- Brilliant.- We were both at the Olympic Stadium on the day...

0:27:34 > 0:27:36- Were you?- ..Perri Shakes-Drayton... - And Dai Green.

0:27:36 > 0:27:39- ..and Dai Greene ran.- Yeah. - Very well done.

0:27:39 > 0:27:41- Well, it was a good start. - It was a bit lucky.- It all paid off.

0:27:41 > 0:27:44And Greg and Alex, you haven't been in the head-to-head.

0:27:44 > 0:27:46You're newcomers to the show so well done to you as well.

0:27:46 > 0:27:49I think this will prove to be a very tightly-fought third round.

0:27:49 > 0:27:52Best of luck to both pairs, let's play the head-to-head.

0:27:57 > 0:28:00OK, here comes your first question and it concerns...

0:28:03 > 0:28:04Drummers, Richard.

0:28:04 > 0:28:07We're going to show you five pictures of well-known drummers now.

0:28:07 > 0:28:09You just have to name the most obscure, please.

0:28:09 > 0:28:11First name and surname needed.

0:28:11 > 0:28:13Thanks very much indeed. Let's reveal our five drummers.

0:28:13 > 0:28:15And here they are. We have got...

0:28:38 > 0:28:41So there we are. Five drummers.

0:28:42 > 0:28:44Charlotte and Derek, you'll go first

0:28:44 > 0:28:46cos you played best throughout the show.

0:28:46 > 0:28:48(C is Meg White from White Stripes.)

0:28:48 > 0:28:50- (Are you actually sure about that?) - (Yeah.)

0:28:50 > 0:28:52- (Who's B?)- (Keith Moon of The Who. But he's been dead for...

0:28:52 > 0:28:54(Actually, that's not a good picture of him,

0:28:54 > 0:28:57(so people might not recognise it's him. What do you think?)

0:28:59 > 0:29:01OK, we're going to go C,

0:29:01 > 0:29:03Meg White.

0:29:03 > 0:29:05C, Meg White.

0:29:05 > 0:29:09Greg and Alex, the board is yours. Talk us through the drummers.

0:29:09 > 0:29:11OK.

0:29:11 > 0:29:14I'm pretty sure E is Ringo Starr.

0:29:14 > 0:29:15Erm...

0:29:15 > 0:29:17A is Phil Collins, I think.

0:29:17 > 0:29:21- No idea. - And B might be an early Who drummer.

0:29:21 > 0:29:23- I have no idea who they are. - It could be Moon.

0:29:23 > 0:29:25Shall we go with Phil?

0:29:25 > 0:29:28We'll go A, Phil Collins.

0:29:28 > 0:29:29A, Phil Collins.

0:29:29 > 0:29:31So we have Meg White and Phil Collins.

0:29:31 > 0:29:33Charlotte and Derek said Meg White.

0:29:33 > 0:29:35Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.

0:29:37 > 0:29:38Absolutely right.

0:29:43 > 0:29:45APPLAUSE

0:29:45 > 0:29:47Very well done indeed. 15 for Meg White.

0:29:50 > 0:29:52Greg and Alex said Phil Collins.

0:29:52 > 0:29:54Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said that.

0:29:57 > 0:29:59It's right.

0:29:59 > 0:30:00Oh, 75.

0:30:00 > 0:30:02APPLAUSE

0:30:02 > 0:30:0475, that is a high score.

0:30:04 > 0:30:06Charlotte and Derek, very well done indeed.

0:30:06 > 0:30:08After one question, you are up 1-0.

0:30:08 > 0:30:10Well played, Charlotte and Derek.

0:30:10 > 0:30:12Yeah, the brilliant Meg White from White Stripes.

0:30:12 > 0:30:15Now, Greg and Alex, I think you were tempted to go for B, weren't you?

0:30:15 > 0:30:17- Yeah.- What would you have gone for?

0:30:17 > 0:30:20Well, I thought it might have been Keith Moon from The Who.

0:30:20 > 0:30:22I think I would have gone for that. It is Keith Moon, yeah.

0:30:22 > 0:30:25And it would have scored you 10 points.

0:30:25 > 0:30:27Who would have thought that?!

0:30:27 > 0:30:29E is Ringo Starr.

0:30:29 > 0:30:31Actually not as big a score as you'd think.

0:30:31 > 0:30:3261 points for Ringo.

0:30:32 > 0:30:34And D...

0:30:34 > 0:30:36I know for a fact his mum watches the show

0:30:36 > 0:30:38cos she tweets me occasionally.

0:30:38 > 0:30:40It's Matt Helders from the Arctic Monkeys.

0:30:40 > 0:30:42And he would have scored you 1 point.

0:30:42 > 0:30:43Very well done if you got that at home.

0:30:43 > 0:30:45Unless you are his mum. In which case, come on!

0:30:45 > 0:30:47Does his mum really tweet you?

0:30:47 > 0:30:50- Yeah.- How did you know that she was Matt Helder's mum?

0:30:50 > 0:30:52That's how she introduced herself.

0:30:52 > 0:30:54Can I just say, before we move on, Derek, you knew Meg White,

0:30:54 > 0:30:57- didn't you?- I did know her. White Stripes.- I could hear Derek...

0:30:57 > 0:31:00- I'm impressed.- Derek knows everything.- I'm down with the hood.

0:31:00 > 0:31:02- Actually, you might be Britain's coolest judge.- I'll say!

0:31:02 > 0:31:05- Don't encourage him! - LAUGHTER

0:31:05 > 0:31:07You know you get all these talent shows with judges?

0:31:07 > 0:31:09We should have a talent show FOR judges.

0:31:09 > 0:31:11- Good plan!- Called Four Judges.

0:31:11 > 0:31:13And you have four judges and lots of judges who come on.

0:31:13 > 0:31:15- And the judges judge the judges.- Oh!

0:31:15 > 0:31:18- That's good!- The judges decide which judge is the best judge.

0:31:18 > 0:31:20- Oh, yeah. - I'd like to be judge on that!- Yeah.

0:31:21 > 0:31:23And who judges the judges' judges

0:31:23 > 0:31:25when the judges are busy judging the judges?

0:31:25 > 0:31:27Yeah, we're going to need some judges.

0:31:27 > 0:31:29We'll work on that. It's a good show.

0:31:29 > 0:31:31Thanks. OK, here comes your second question.

0:31:31 > 0:31:33Greg and Alex, you have to win this one to stay in the game

0:31:33 > 0:31:35but you get to answer it first.

0:31:35 > 0:31:36It concerns...

0:31:38 > 0:31:40- What?!- Toy Dogs, Richard.

0:31:40 > 0:31:44We're going to give you five anagrams now of breeds of toy dog.

0:31:44 > 0:31:46Can you unscramble them and give us the best answer?

0:31:46 > 0:31:48OK. Thanks very much indeed.

0:31:48 > 0:31:50Let's reveal our five anagrams. And here they come.

0:31:50 > 0:31:52We have...

0:32:05 > 0:32:08Greg and Alex, you go first this time.

0:32:08 > 0:32:11I can't think of any. Other than the first one.

0:32:11 > 0:32:15Toy dogs are not really something we're familiar with

0:32:15 > 0:32:18but we'll have to go with the first one, which we think is pug.

0:32:18 > 0:32:20Pug, say Greg and Alex.

0:32:20 > 0:32:23OK. Now, Charlotte and Derek, it's yours.

0:32:23 > 0:32:26THEY WHISPER

0:32:28 > 0:32:32- We think pink geese is Pekingese. - Pekingese.

0:32:32 > 0:32:35So we have pug versus Pekingese.

0:32:35 > 0:32:36Well, Greg and Alex said pug.

0:32:36 > 0:32:40Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said pug.

0:32:41 > 0:32:44It's right. Oh, look at that! 96.

0:32:44 > 0:32:46- That must be the highest score ever! - 96.

0:32:46 > 0:32:48Yes, exactly.

0:32:48 > 0:32:50This was the one you were going to have to win to stay in the game!

0:32:50 > 0:32:53Well, let's see if Charlotte and Derek have done it

0:32:53 > 0:32:55with Pekingese.

0:32:55 > 0:32:5696 is what they have to beat.

0:32:59 > 0:33:00Yes and yes.

0:33:04 > 0:33:0632. Very well done indeed.

0:33:08 > 0:33:12Which means, after only two questions, Charlotte and Derek,

0:33:12 > 0:33:14you are straight through to the final, 2-0.

0:33:14 > 0:33:17- Very well done indeed.- Well played, Charlotte. Well played, Derek.

0:33:17 > 0:33:19The other three are the best scorers here.

0:33:19 > 0:33:21Now, mania prone is...

0:33:21 > 0:33:23See, I know some of these

0:33:23 > 0:33:26because I went to that lovely Discover Dogs show at Earls Court.

0:33:26 > 0:33:29And when I was there, I saw a fairly spectacular dog

0:33:29 > 0:33:32- called a Pomeranian.- Ah. - And that is mania prone.

0:33:32 > 0:33:34That would have scored you 20.

0:33:34 > 0:33:36I also saw, down the bottom,

0:33:36 > 0:33:39- I saw a bichon frise. - Ah.

0:33:39 > 0:33:41And that would have scored 7.

0:33:41 > 0:33:43Now this other one, I didn't see one of these.

0:33:43 > 0:33:45I didn't know this was a dog name.

0:33:45 > 0:33:46And it's Bolognese.

0:33:47 > 0:33:51The most delicious of all the dogs!

0:33:51 > 0:33:52Would have scored you 1 point,

0:33:52 > 0:33:54so very well done if you said that at home.

0:33:54 > 0:33:55Thank you very much indeed.

0:33:55 > 0:33:58So the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round...

0:33:58 > 0:34:00I'm afraid it's Greg and Alex.

0:34:00 > 0:34:02Two perfectly good answers. Pug...

0:34:02 > 0:34:05I mean, I say good! Acceptable answer.

0:34:05 > 0:34:07- Yeah, 96. That was a high score. - We know nothing.

0:34:07 > 0:34:10We'll see you again next time. We look forward to that very much.

0:34:10 > 0:34:12Meantime, thanks very much for playing.

0:34:12 > 0:34:14APPLAUSE

0:34:14 > 0:34:18But for Charlotte and Derek, it's now time for our Pointless final.

0:34:21 > 0:34:24Congratulations, Charlotte and Derek.

0:34:24 > 0:34:25You've fought off all the competition

0:34:25 > 0:34:27and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.

0:34:33 > 0:34:35You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot

0:34:35 > 0:34:38and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at...

0:34:38 > 0:34:42APPLAUSE

0:34:42 > 0:34:44Well, that's altogether more like it, I have to say.

0:34:44 > 0:34:47A fantastic display of brilliant knowledge.

0:34:47 > 0:34:48Actually genuinely good knowledge.

0:34:48 > 0:34:51I mean, lovely low-scoring in the second round. Impressive.

0:34:51 > 0:34:53- Lucky, I think, in many ways.- Lucky.

0:34:53 > 0:34:55- OK, well, we'll go with lucky.- Yeah.

0:34:55 > 0:34:58But I think that shows some impressive pointless knowledge.

0:34:58 > 0:35:00And what would you like to see come up in this last round?

0:35:00 > 0:35:02Erm... Anything trivial.

0:35:02 > 0:35:07Pop culture from today, celebrities, relationships,

0:35:07 > 0:35:09that kind of thing would be great.

0:35:09 > 0:35:12And for me it would have to be Disney princesses.

0:35:12 > 0:35:14LAUGHTER

0:35:14 > 0:35:16I'm not entirely sure you're joking.

0:35:16 > 0:35:18OK, very good. Well, as always,

0:35:18 > 0:35:20you kick this round off by choosing a category

0:35:20 > 0:35:22and you have four options. They are...

0:35:30 > 0:35:32Well, I know who was in The Traveling Wilburys...

0:35:32 > 0:35:34Can I be clear? I've never heard of it.

0:35:34 > 0:35:36I think American Television I can at least contribute,

0:35:36 > 0:35:38but if you are entirely confident

0:35:38 > 0:35:41about whatever that thing is that's number three,

0:35:41 > 0:35:43then don't let me get in the way.

0:35:43 > 0:35:46If they asked me what names of the albums are, I'm a bit stuck.

0:35:46 > 0:35:49- Shall we say American Television? - Yeah.- Yeah, American Television.

0:35:49 > 0:35:52American Television is what you're going to go with. Richard.

0:35:52 > 0:35:55We're looking for the name of any regular performer in any of these shows.

0:35:55 > 0:35:57So any actor who has been credited...

0:36:10 > 0:36:13Obviously by actors, as always, we means actors and actresses.

0:36:13 > 0:36:14Very, very best of luck.

0:36:14 > 0:36:16OK, now, as always you've got up to one minute

0:36:16 > 0:36:17to come up with three answers.

0:36:17 > 0:36:21And to win the jackpot, £2,250, nice-looking jackpot,

0:36:21 > 0:36:23you just have to find one pointless answer.

0:36:23 > 0:36:26The answers you give can come from any of these categories.

0:36:26 > 0:36:29You can spread them across the categories as you choose.

0:36:29 > 0:36:30All from one category,

0:36:30 > 0:36:32one from each, two from one, one from the other.

0:36:32 > 0:36:34It's entirely up to you.

0:36:34 > 0:36:35Are you ready?

0:36:35 > 0:36:38- Yeah.- OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.

0:36:38 > 0:36:39There they are.

0:36:39 > 0:36:41Your time starts now.

0:36:41 > 0:36:43- Well, The Wire is Idris Elba. - Idris Elba, right.

0:36:43 > 0:36:45- Dominic West.- OK.

0:36:45 > 0:36:48- Sopranos - everybody's going to get James Gandolfini.- Yeah.

0:36:48 > 0:36:50Obviously Sex And The City...

0:36:50 > 0:36:53- There's the main characters but they'd be too obvious.- Yeah.

0:36:53 > 0:36:56- Cynthia Nixon? Would anybody think of Cynthia?- She's worth a go, maybe.

0:36:56 > 0:36:59- There's the boyfriends as well, in Sex And The City.- Yeah.

0:36:59 > 0:37:01There's the two, the gay couple. I can't think of them in real life.

0:37:01 > 0:37:03Do you know either of them?

0:37:03 > 0:37:05- No.- Fine. If we stick to... What have you got on The Wire?

0:37:05 > 0:37:09- West...- Idris Elba.- Yeah. - Dominic West.- Yeah.

0:37:09 > 0:37:12- Have you ever seen The Sopranos? - I have. But James Gandolfini's the main thing

0:37:12 > 0:37:14- and obviously...- Who's the guy that was in The Sopranos

0:37:14 > 0:37:17but then went into that programme Lilyhammer. Do you remember him?

0:37:17 > 0:37:20- He was the drummer... - Can't remember his name.- Me neither.

0:37:20 > 0:37:23- And then obviously Sex And The City Cynthia Nixon...- Yeah.

0:37:23 > 0:37:25- We've got Kim Cattrall. Everybody will pick her..- Yeah, yeah,

0:37:25 > 0:37:28the big four have got to be out. It's got to be someone more obscure.

0:37:28 > 0:37:30Like the husband. Ten seconds.

0:37:30 > 0:37:34I think The Traveling Wilburys is now looking good, actually!

0:37:34 > 0:37:36So we'll go for the three... Who was the third one? Cynthia Nixon?

0:37:36 > 0:37:38- Yeah.- OK.- Right, OK.

0:37:38 > 0:37:40- We're ready. Thank you, Xander.- OK.

0:37:40 > 0:37:42That is your time up. I now need your three answers.

0:37:42 > 0:37:45Right. We're going to go with one from Sex And The City,

0:37:45 > 0:37:47- which is Cynthia Nixon. - Cynthia Nixon.

0:37:47 > 0:37:49And we're going to go with two from The Wire.

0:37:49 > 0:37:52We're going to go for Idris Elba and Dominic West.

0:37:52 > 0:37:54- Idris Elba and Dominic West.- Yeah. - Mm-hm.

0:37:54 > 0:37:56Of those three, which do you think is your best shot?

0:37:56 > 0:37:59- Dominic West.- Yeah, I think so. - We'll put him last.

0:37:59 > 0:38:01- Least likely to be pointless? - BOTH: Cynthia Nixon.

0:38:01 > 0:38:03Cynthia Nixon we'll put first.

0:38:03 > 0:38:05OK, lets put those up on the board in that order.

0:38:05 > 0:38:06And here they are. We have got...

0:38:11 > 0:38:14Well, very best of luck. Your first answer was Cynthia Nixon.

0:38:14 > 0:38:17- You thought this probably was your least likely to be pointless.- Yeah.

0:38:17 > 0:38:20If it is pointless, though, you will win £2,250,

0:38:20 > 0:38:23- which is quite nice.- Yeah.

0:38:23 > 0:38:26What would you do with that? Derek, what would your plans be for that?

0:38:26 > 0:38:27I want to be able to go and join her

0:38:27 > 0:38:29on one of her Grand Prix trips.

0:38:29 > 0:38:32- I went to the British Grand Prix last year so that would be good.- OK.

0:38:32 > 0:38:34Charlotte, how about you?

0:38:34 > 0:38:37Probably a handbag, if I'm honest. Forget the trips!

0:38:37 > 0:38:40Trips are all good but, you know, your handbag lasts a while.

0:38:40 > 0:38:43- OK!- True.- Handbags last well. I'll remember that.

0:38:43 > 0:38:45OK, Cynthia Nixon, your first answer.

0:38:45 > 0:38:46Let's see if it's right.

0:38:46 > 0:38:49If it is, as I say, it will win you the jackpot.

0:38:49 > 0:38:52So for £2,250, was Cynthia Nixon

0:38:52 > 0:38:55in six or more episodes of Sex And The City?

0:38:57 > 0:38:59Well, it's right.

0:39:00 > 0:39:02But it then has to go all the way down to 0

0:39:02 > 0:39:06for you to win that jackpot for £2,250.

0:39:06 > 0:39:08It's taking you down into single figures.

0:39:08 > 0:39:09Still going down. Down it goes!

0:39:09 > 0:39:11- 2! Wow!- Oh, wow!

0:39:11 > 0:39:13- That's amazing.- Yeah. - Oh, that's good.

0:39:17 > 0:39:20- That's better than I thought.- Wow! - Yeah.

0:39:20 > 0:39:21- That's a surprise.- It is.

0:39:21 > 0:39:23Not a pointless answer, though, obviously.

0:39:23 > 0:39:25Only two more shots at today's jackpot.

0:39:25 > 0:39:27Your second answer was Idris Elba.

0:39:29 > 0:39:31Let's find out. If that's correct and it's pointless,

0:39:31 > 0:39:35you will win the jackpot. So, for £2,250, let's find out,

0:39:35 > 0:39:39was Idris Elba in 36 or more episodes of The Wire?

0:39:42 > 0:39:44Yes, he was.

0:39:44 > 0:39:45Well, the big surprise

0:39:45 > 0:39:48was Cynthia Nixon took us all the way down to 2.

0:39:48 > 0:39:49So we've got to hope

0:39:49 > 0:39:52that Idris Elba takes us down surprisingly far as well.

0:39:52 > 0:39:54Still going down. Down he goes.

0:39:54 > 0:39:57- 3! Wow. - APPLAUSE

0:39:57 > 0:39:59- Another great answer.- Yeah.

0:40:00 > 0:40:04So your final answer was Dominic West,

0:40:04 > 0:40:06which you thought was probably your most obscure.

0:40:06 > 0:40:08- Maybe.- I think so.

0:40:08 > 0:40:11I mean, people don't realise he was necessarily in that

0:40:11 > 0:40:14- cos he's a well-known actor anyway, in other things.- OK.

0:40:14 > 0:40:16Well, let's find out. Dominic West.

0:40:16 > 0:40:18If this is pointless, you will walk off with that jackpot.

0:40:18 > 0:40:20So for £2,250, let's find out,

0:40:20 > 0:40:23was Dominic West in 36 or more episodes of The Wire?

0:40:28 > 0:40:29Oh, yes, he was.

0:40:29 > 0:40:31Now, Cynthia Nixon took us down to two.

0:40:31 > 0:40:33Idris Elba took us down to 3.

0:40:34 > 0:40:36Dominic West, the star of The Wire,

0:40:36 > 0:40:39now taking us down into single figures.

0:40:39 > 0:40:42- Still going down. 4!- Oh! - APPLAUSE

0:40:45 > 0:40:47Well, three brilliant answers there.

0:40:47 > 0:40:50Three perfectly respectable scores.

0:40:50 > 0:40:53You'd be delighted to have scored that at any other stage of the game.

0:40:53 > 0:40:55However, I'm afraid in this last round,

0:40:55 > 0:40:58we are only interested in pointless answers. And I'm sorry to say

0:40:58 > 0:41:00you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer,

0:41:00 > 0:41:03which means you don't win today's jackpot of £2,250.

0:41:03 > 0:41:04That will roll over onto the next show.

0:41:04 > 0:41:07But we really enjoyed having you on both shows.

0:41:07 > 0:41:08You've been absolutely superb.

0:41:08 > 0:41:09But most especially today.

0:41:09 > 0:41:11You can walk out with your heads held high.

0:41:11 > 0:41:14And, of course, with a Pointless trophy...

0:41:14 > 0:41:17- Absolutely.- Yes!- ..in your hand. So very, very well done indeed.

0:41:17 > 0:41:19APPLAUSE

0:41:21 > 0:41:22Really well played, guys.

0:41:22 > 0:41:25Great performance. You gave us two Wire actors, there.

0:41:25 > 0:41:27There's only three who scored any points at all.

0:41:27 > 0:41:28Those two and Frankie Faison.

0:41:28 > 0:41:31Every other actor who's been in 36 or more is pointless.

0:41:31 > 0:41:32I'll give you a few of them in a minute.

0:41:32 > 0:41:36One character you talked about was the guy who was in The Sopranos

0:41:36 > 0:41:38- then went on to be in Lilyhammer. - Yeah.- Yes.

0:41:38 > 0:41:40It was Stephen Van Zandt

0:41:40 > 0:41:43and he was a pointless answer.

0:41:43 > 0:41:45But let's take a look at some other pointless answers.

0:41:45 > 0:41:47Deirdre Lovejoy.

0:41:47 > 0:41:50She plays Rhonda, who's Dominic West's on/off love interest.

0:41:50 > 0:41:53John Doman, who plays Commissioner Rawls.

0:41:53 > 0:41:55Sonja Sohn, who plays Kima.

0:41:55 > 0:41:58And Wendell Pierce, who plays Bunk.

0:41:58 > 0:42:00You could also have had the brilliant Clarke Peters,

0:42:00 > 0:42:03also a pointless answer. As I say, they all were, really.

0:42:03 > 0:42:05Michael K Williams, JD Williams, all of them.

0:42:05 > 0:42:08Let's take a look at The Sopranos.

0:42:08 > 0:42:10Two of the big actors first -

0:42:10 > 0:42:12Dominic Chianese and Michael Imperioli.

0:42:12 > 0:42:14Well done if you said either of those.

0:42:14 > 0:42:16You could have also had Robert Iler or Tony Sirico.

0:42:16 > 0:42:18And Sex And The City -

0:42:18 > 0:42:21the character at the bottom's the one you were thinking of.

0:42:21 > 0:42:23He plays the agent. Willie Garson.

0:42:23 > 0:42:25Lynn Cohen was a pointless answer - played Magda.

0:42:25 > 0:42:28John Corbett, who was one of Carrie's many love interests

0:42:28 > 0:42:31and Evan Handler, who eventually ends up marrying Charlotte.

0:42:31 > 0:42:33Mikhail Baryshnikov was also a pointless answer

0:42:33 > 0:42:35in that category, as was Ron Livingston.

0:42:35 > 0:42:37So very well done if you said any of those.

0:42:37 > 0:42:39You've been brilliant throughout

0:42:39 > 0:42:42and 4, 3 and 2 are really, really good scores in that end game.

0:42:42 > 0:42:43Thanks very much, Richard.

0:42:43 > 0:42:45Unfortunately, we do have to say goodbye to you.

0:42:45 > 0:42:47We've loved having you on the show.

0:42:47 > 0:42:49You've been absolutely fantastic contestants.

0:42:49 > 0:42:51Thank you for playing. Charlotte and Derek.

0:42:51 > 0:42:53APPLAUSE

0:42:53 > 0:42:56Well, Charlotte and Derek sadly didn't win our jackpot today

0:42:56 > 0:42:58which means it rolls over onto the next show,

0:42:58 > 0:43:00when we'll be playing for...

0:43:03 > 0:43:05Join us next time to see if someone can win it.

0:43:05 > 0:43:07- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.

0:43:07 > 0:43:09And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.

0:43:09 > 0:43:11APPLAUSE
