0:00:16 > 0:00:20APPLAUSE
0:00:21 > 0:00:23Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:25 > 0:00:27the quiz show where we are always striving to find
0:00:27 > 0:00:30the most obscure answers. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37- And couple number one. - Hi, I'm Dave. I'm from...
0:00:37 > 0:00:40And this is my friend, Glyn. We're from West Yorkshire.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42Couple number two.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45I'm Nick and this is my good friend Charli and we're from Cornwall.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47- Couple number three. - Hi, I'm Linda.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50This is my lovely husband Jeff and we're from sunny Eastbourne.
0:00:50 > 0:00:51And finally, couple number four.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Alex and this is my dad, Greg.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55We are from Bushey in Hertfordshire.
0:00:55 > 0:00:56And these are today's contestants.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02We'll be finding more about you throughout the show as it
0:01:02 > 0:01:05goes along. So that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07He actually has to wear glasses after damaging his eyes
0:01:07 > 0:01:10by constantly rolling them at the answers of inept contestants.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Hiya. Hi, everybody.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17APPLAUSE
0:01:17 > 0:01:18That's not true.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21- We haven't had an inept contestant for a long time, have we?- It's true.
0:01:21 > 0:01:26- Oh, apart from...- Yep.- Exactly. But other than, that we haven't...
0:01:26 > 0:01:28- Oh, and, er...- Yeah.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31But other than that, everyone's been brilliant, haven't they?
0:01:31 > 0:01:34- Oh, except, er... - Yeah, yeah.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38Other than that, there's been terrific contestants recently. Today.
0:01:38 > 0:01:43- Well, for example, just to name but eight...- Glyn and David, back again.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48- They were trouble from the outset. - They were trouble last time.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50You know what, they were on podium four last time
0:01:50 > 0:01:53- and so they sort of slightly kept out of harm's way.- Yeah.
0:01:53 > 0:01:54We've also got Greg and Alex back
0:01:54 > 0:01:58who got all the way through to the head-to-head last time again.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00You came up against a very good pair, Charlotte and Derek.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03They were terrific. They didn't win the jackpot.
0:02:05 > 0:02:06It's good news for everybody.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08Bad news for them but good news for everybody.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11- They were very good, though, we're they?- They were very good.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13We've had really good contestants recently, haven't we?
0:02:13 > 0:02:16- Yeah, we have. - Oh, apart from...- Yeah.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20All our questions on Pointless have been put to 100 people
0:02:20 > 0:02:22before the show. Our contestants here need to find
0:02:22 > 0:02:25the obscure answers those 100 people didn't get.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Everyone's trying to find a pointless answer,
0:02:27 > 0:02:29this is an answer that none of our 100 people gave,
0:02:29 > 0:02:32and each time that happens we will had 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Charlotte and Derek, as you've just heard,
0:02:34 > 0:02:37didn't win the jackpot last time, so we add another £1,000 to that,
0:02:37 > 0:02:39so today's jackpot starts off at...
0:02:40 > 0:02:43APPLAUSE
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52OK, in this first round I want an answer from each of you,
0:02:52 > 0:02:54but there is to be no conferring among the pairs,
0:02:54 > 0:02:57and whichever pair has the highest score at the end of the round
0:02:57 > 0:03:01will be heading home. OK, our first category today is...
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:03:07 > 0:03:08who's going to go second,
0:03:08 > 0:03:10and whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15OK. And the question concerns...
0:03:20 > 0:03:22On each pass we're going to give you seven clues to famous people
0:03:22 > 0:03:25known by the first name Harry or Henry.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Just need you to give us the most obscure answer, please.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30There's going to be 14, and also have a crack at home. Good luck.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34So we are looking for famous Harrys or Henrys described by these clues.
0:03:34 > 0:03:35And here's our first board of seven.
0:03:35 > 0:03:36We have...
0:04:06 > 0:04:08I'll read those all one last time.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Now, David and Glyn, you all drew lots before the show
0:04:37 > 0:04:41and today you are going to go first. David, welcome back to the show.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43- Thank you. - What do you do, David?
0:04:44 > 0:04:48I'm retired. I used to be a steel fabricator.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Where did you do that?
0:04:50 > 0:04:54- In Wakefield.- Right.- Leeds, Huddersfield.- Right you are.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57And now, of course, you fill your time with Glyn...
0:04:57 > 0:04:59- Bird watching. - Bird watching.
0:04:59 > 0:05:04David, is there any time left when you're not birding?
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Yeah, I've got other things to do. I've got a wife as well.
0:05:08 > 0:05:09So I've got to do other things.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13I'm trying to do a bit of gardening now I'm retired.
0:05:13 > 0:05:14- Very good. - I'm catching up.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17What do you make of this board? The Henrys and Harrys.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20Yeah, it looks all right.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23I'll go for the star of Clash Of The Titans is Harry Hamlin.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27Harry Hamlin you're going to say is the star of Clash Of The Titans..
0:05:27 > 0:05:28Let's see if Harry Hamlin's right,
0:05:28 > 0:05:31and if it is, let's see how many people said Harry Hamlin.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Absolutely right. Very well done, David.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41That's a very good answer, David. Very well done.
0:05:41 > 0:05:436 for Harry Hamlin.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45APPLAUSE
0:05:45 > 0:05:47- Gets us off to a lovely start. - Well done, David.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50If I'd had to predict the answer you were going to go for on that board,
0:05:50 > 0:05:53that is not the one I would've predicted, I have to admit.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Yeah, Harry Hamlin, voted sexiest man alive, 1987.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59- 1987?- Yeah.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02- There you go. - Still looks pretty good now.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05He was in LA Law as well, all sorts of things, Harry Hamlin.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08- Now then, Charli, welcome.- Hello. - Great to have you here.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10- What do you do, Charli? - I'm a Nanny.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Do you Nanny here in London?
0:06:12 > 0:06:15- Yes, I do.- What sort of age of children do you look after?
0:06:15 > 0:06:1811, 13 and then a nine-year-old boy as well.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21- And they'll be watching now, will they?- I hope so. They better be.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24OK, Charli, what are you going to go for?
0:06:24 > 0:06:27Well, I must say, it's not the best board for me.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31So I'm going to have to go for the comedian Harry Enfield.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Harry Enfield, who created Loadsamoney.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35OK, let's see if that's right,
0:06:35 > 0:06:37and if it is, let's see how many people said Harry Enfield.
0:06:39 > 0:06:40It's right.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47APPLAUSE
0:06:47 > 0:06:49- It's 50 better than 100. - Yes.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52- Not bad.- Absolutely. A big score for Harry Enfield, isn't it?
0:06:52 > 0:06:53He'll be pleased about that.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56He's been around for a long time and consistently brilliant, isn't he?
0:06:56 > 0:07:00Always. Thanks, Richard. Now, Linda. Welcome to Pointless.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Great to have you here from Eastbourne.
0:07:02 > 0:07:07- And what do you do in Eastbourne? - I'm a receptionist at a GP practice.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09- Is that full-time? - Part-time.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- What do you do in your spare time? - I play golf.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Very good. What's your handicap?
0:07:14 > 0:07:19I started last year and my handicap was 36, and I've come down to 24.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21- In a year? - In a year.- Wow!
0:07:21 > 0:07:23- I played lots of golf.- I was going to say, you must play,
0:07:23 > 0:07:26or you're just a natural. Fantastic.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28So, what are you going to go for on this board?
0:07:28 > 0:07:31There's only a couple that I know on that board,
0:07:31 > 0:07:36so I think I will go for the first boxer to receive a knighthood,
0:07:36 > 0:07:39and that is Henry Cooper.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Henry Cooper, says Linda. Let's see if that's right
0:07:41 > 0:07:43and let's see how many people said Henry Cooper.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48It is right. 50 is our highest score and 6 our low at the moment.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Well, you passed the 50 mark.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53APPLAUSE
0:07:54 > 0:07:58Yeah, also the first man to win BBC Sports Personality Of The Year twice.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04- Greg. Welcome back. - Thank you.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06So, last time, tell us what happened.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Last time we made it to the head-to-head,
0:08:08 > 0:08:11and we had some pictures of some well-known drummers
0:08:11 > 0:08:15and I chose the most well-known one, but I did know one of the others.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18- You knew a really low scorer, Keith Moon.- I knew Keith Moon...
0:08:18 > 0:08:20- Very youthful. - ..which would've won the game.- Yeah.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24- I went for the one I was sure of. - OK, what are you going to go for?
0:08:24 > 0:08:25This board is all yours,
0:08:25 > 0:08:27so if you wanted you could talk us through the whole board.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29I've no idea about the first one.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33I would guess that the fourth one's Harry Houdini, but I don't know.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38I ought to know the next one because I did a chemistry degree,
0:08:38 > 0:08:41but it was many years ago and I can't remember.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43But I'm going to go for the last one at the bottom,
0:08:43 > 0:08:47the US Secretary of State, I'm pretty sure, is Henry Kissinger.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Henry Kissinger, says Greg. Let's see if that's right,
0:08:49 > 0:08:51let's see how many people said Henry Kissinger.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57Well, it is right. 50 is still our highest score and 6 our low.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59You passed the 44.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01APPLAUSE
0:09:03 > 0:09:0522 for Kissinger.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Well played, Greg. He was actually born Heinz Kissinger,
0:09:07 > 0:09:10but changed his name when his family moved to the States.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14You were right about the escapologist, it was Harry Houdini.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18That would've scored you 69 points. Would've been a very high scorer.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Now, the chemist is Henry Cavendish.
0:09:23 > 0:09:24That would've scored you 2 points.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28So if you'd been able to recall that, you'd have done an awful lot better.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31- And the US composer... - Is it Mancini?
0:09:31 > 0:09:34Henry Mancini. Would've scored 35.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37Thank you very much. Well, we're halfway through the round.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Let's take a look at those scores. 6, David.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44Very well done. Back you come with a score like that. Very good indeed.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47That puts you and Glyn very much in pole position at this stage.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51Then up to 22 where we see Greg and Alex. Up to 44, Linda and Jeff.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54And then Charli and Nick not that far ahead on 50.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58So, Nick, let's hope you've got some good Henrys and Harrys in there.
0:09:58 > 0:09:59We need a low score from you
0:09:59 > 0:10:02and have to hope that's enough to keep you in the game.
0:10:02 > 0:10:03We're going to come back down the line now.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06Can the second players please step up to the podium.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10OK, let's put seven more Henrys and Harrys up on the board
0:10:10 > 0:10:12and here they come. We have got...
0:10:44 > 0:10:46I'll read all of those again.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20There we are. A board of seven Henrys and Harrys.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22Alex, welcome back.
0:11:22 > 0:11:23What do you do, Alex?
0:11:23 > 0:11:26I'm a support worker for a learning disabilities charity.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28That's right, and in your spare time...
0:11:28 > 0:11:31I always say, "That's right," which means they're a returning pair
0:11:31 > 0:11:33and I'm reminding myself cos I'm stupid.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35What do you do in your spare time, Alex?
0:11:35 > 0:11:39I do swing dancing, tenpin bowling and I sometimes just go to the gym.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41- Tenpin bowling, are you good at that?- I hope so.
0:11:41 > 0:11:46I've been bowling since I was eight for various national competitions.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49OK, so that's the consistency with which you can knock down all
0:11:49 > 0:11:53- the pins.- Hmm.- Good stuff. What about these Henrys and Harrys?
0:11:53 > 0:11:58I know three. I'm going to have to go for Harry Redknapp.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Harry Redknapp. Better say which one that is.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04- For the manager of Portsmouth and Southampton.- OK.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Harry Redknapp, says Alex. You're on 22.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09The high scorers on 50 are Nick and Charli. There is your red line.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12Get below that and you are through to the next round.
0:12:12 > 0:12:13Let's see if Harry Redknapp's right,
0:12:13 > 0:12:15let's see how many people said Harry Redknapp.
0:12:21 > 0:12:2249.
0:12:22 > 0:12:23APPLAUSE
0:12:23 > 0:12:2649 takes your total up to 71.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Yeah, Harry Redknapp took Southampton down, of course,
0:12:28 > 0:12:32was relegated with QPR as well in the last season.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Now, Jeff.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37Welcome to Pointless. Good to have you here from Eastbourne.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41- What do you do? - I'm currently between jobs.
0:12:41 > 0:12:47- What was your last job? - My career was a police officer.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50I was medically retired some years ago from that.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54I've done a couple of things since, but we're moving house soon,
0:12:54 > 0:12:59so I'm sort of in between jobs and hope to be employed when we move.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Good stuff. There you are on 44.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03The high scorers are Alex and Greg at the moment on 71.
0:13:03 > 0:13:08So 26 or less keeps you from becoming our new high scorers.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10How confident are you with this board, Jeff?
0:13:10 > 0:13:13I know three.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19But I don't know if any of them will be low enough to get me...
0:13:19 > 0:13:23Get us below the required amount.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Erm... Which one I choose...
0:13:26 > 0:13:31I'm just going to say, erm... Boxing commentator Harry Carpenter.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Harry Carpenter, the boxing commentator.
0:13:33 > 0:13:34Here comes your red line.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37Get below that with Harry Carpenter, you are in Round Two.
0:13:37 > 0:13:38Let's find out if Harry Carpenter's right.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40Let's see how many people said it.
0:13:42 > 0:13:43It's right.
0:13:45 > 0:13:46Still going down.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Look at that, 39. Not bad.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50APPLAUSE
0:13:50 > 0:13:53Not bad. 83 is your total.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56It's all in Nick's hands, I'd say, now.
0:13:56 > 0:13:57A wonderful commentator.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00The subject of the catchphrase, "Know what I mean, 'Arry?"
0:14:00 > 0:14:02And Muhammad Ali once paid him the compliment of saying,
0:14:02 > 0:14:04"You're not as dumb as you look."
0:14:05 > 0:14:07Thanks very much, Richard. Now then, Nick.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09We have a game on our hands here.
0:14:09 > 0:14:14The high scorers are currently Jeff and Linda, there you are on 50.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16You have to score 32 or less. Nick, what do you do?
0:14:16 > 0:14:19I'm a PhD student at the moment in physics.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21In physics?
0:14:21 > 0:14:26- Did you go on from your first degree straight into the PhD, or...?- Yeah.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28I've done undergrad in physics, Masters in physics.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31And which is your discipline in physics?
0:14:31 > 0:14:34I'm studying nuclear fusion as an energy source.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37- Nuclear fusion. - About as fun as it sounds.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Nuclear fusion is the sort of dangerous nuclear energy.
0:14:39 > 0:14:44- That's the exploding type rather than...- Don't tell people.- Yeah.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Nuclear fusion is the fun one.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48It's in the bombs, in the warheads.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50Fission is the nuclear power station.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53Fission's the other one that's also not very good for you.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56- We're not trying to make bombs, though.- No. You are not.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58- You're making games. - I like to put that out there.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00No, that's good.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02What are the other applications of nuclear fusion?
0:15:02 > 0:15:05Well, we're looking at it as a potential energy source
0:15:05 > 0:15:08in the latter half of the century
0:15:08 > 0:15:10when the rest of the fuel runs out.
0:15:10 > 0:15:14Right, OK. Now then, Nick, what are you going to go for?
0:15:14 > 0:15:18Well, I think I only know one that's left and I might be able to
0:15:18 > 0:15:21have a punt at another, but I don't think either of them will be enough.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24But I will go for... Erm...
0:15:24 > 0:15:27I'll go for Henry Ford as the car manufacturer.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30Henry Ford, you are hoping, is going to score 32 or less.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Let us find out. There's your red line.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36Get below that with Henry Ford and you're in the next round. Good luck.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38Let's see how many people said Henry Ford.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Ooh, that's high. 69.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47APPLAUSE
0:15:47 > 0:15:49That takes your total up to 119,
0:15:49 > 0:15:53which I'm sorry to say is unbeatable. I'm sorry.
0:15:53 > 0:15:54Yeah, it's a big score, isn't it?
0:15:54 > 0:15:57Henry Ford's early career was spent working for Thomas Edison.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59And he said to Thomas Edison,
0:15:59 > 0:16:01"I've got this idea for a horseless carriage."
0:16:01 > 0:16:04And Edison said, "I don't really get it, but it looks interesting,"
0:16:04 > 0:16:06so, you know, it was very encouraging to him
0:16:06 > 0:16:10- and eventually Ford left and set up his company.- Good for Edison.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13Do you remember I came to you with that flying machine,
0:16:13 > 0:16:16- that I was kind of hoping for that kind of support from you?- Yeah.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18And you laughed. You literally... You laughed,
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Richard, you laughed.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23I did say it's been invented for well over 100 years, didn't I,
0:16:23 > 0:16:24is what I said to you.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29- That's all I said. - And still, you laugh.
0:16:29 > 0:16:30Glyn.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35- Glyn.- Smile.- Listen, you are through to the next round.- Yeah.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39This is great news. Do you fancy talking us through the board, Glyn?
0:16:39 > 0:16:41The presenter of the game show, it's annoying me, that,
0:16:41 > 0:16:44because he used to be a teacher and he gave it up,
0:16:44 > 0:16:46and he's got a son who's done it as well,
0:16:46 > 0:16:48and he's called Henry and I've forgotten his second name.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51The president was Hoover,
0:16:51 > 0:16:53the Prime Minister could've been Campbell-Bannerman,
0:16:53 > 0:16:56but I'll go for the US novelist, I think that's Henry James.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59Henry James, the novelist that wrote Turn Of The Screw.
0:16:59 > 0:17:00Let's see if that's right.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03No red line for you, for the good reason that you are already through.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05But let's see how many people said Henry James.
0:17:06 > 0:17:07Absolutely right.
0:17:13 > 0:17:14Very well done. 14.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16APPLAUSE
0:17:16 > 0:17:21- Takes your total up to 20. Well done, Glyn.- Well played, Glyn.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24You're wrong about the president, the president was Harry S Truman.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27Would've scored you 42 points.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29But you were right about the Prime Minister.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32Old Pointless favourite Henry Campbell-Bannerman,
0:17:32 > 0:17:35and he would've scored you 1 point. Would've been a terrific answer.
0:17:35 > 0:17:36I don't know how you deduced it,
0:17:36 > 0:17:39but you're right about the TV presenter whose name is Henry.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41It's, er...
0:17:41 > 0:17:46- He was a teacher as well, wasn't he? - Er... May well have been.
0:17:46 > 0:17:52It was Henry Kelly. 24 points.
0:17:52 > 0:17:53Thank you very much indeed.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56So at the end of our first round, the pair who will be heading home,
0:17:56 > 0:17:59I'm so sorry, Nick and Charli. Nothing wrong with your two answers,
0:17:59 > 0:18:05they were just high scorers, that's all. We'll see you next time.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07In the meantime, thanks very much for playing, Nick and Charli.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09APPLAUSE
0:18:09 > 0:18:13But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21So we're down to three pairs, and obviously at the end of this round
0:18:21 > 0:18:23we'll have to say goodbye to another pair.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25Glyn and David.
0:18:25 > 0:18:30What a performance. You were our lowest scoring pair by a long way.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33David, our lowest scoring individual contestant as well, so fantastic.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35Very well done, Glyn and David.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37Keep that up and you should be through to the head-to-head.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Greg and Alex, good scoring from you as well.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41Jeff and Linda, not bad, but you were the highest scoring
0:18:41 > 0:18:44of our remaining pairs, so good luck in this next round.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Our category for Round Two is...
0:18:48 > 0:18:49There we are. It's money.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:18:52 > 0:18:53who's going to go second.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00OK, and the question concerns...
0:19:05 > 0:19:08In a moment, Xander's going to show you five different currencies.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10We're looking for the name of any country who uses
0:19:10 > 0:19:15one of these as their main unit of currency as of February 2013.
0:19:15 > 0:19:19So any country that uses any of these as their main unit of currency
0:19:19 > 0:19:22as of February 2013. Very best of luck.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25Thanks very much indeed. So as Richard's just mentioned,
0:19:25 > 0:19:29we're going to put five currencies up on the board, and here they are.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Those units of currency will remain up on the board the whole way
0:19:41 > 0:19:44through the round. So they won't change halfway.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46They'll be there for up the line and back down.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49And as Richard said, we just need to know any country other than
0:19:49 > 0:19:53the UK that uses on of these currencies. Now then, Glyn.
0:19:53 > 0:19:58Right, well, I think Pakistan uses the Pakistan rupee,
0:19:58 > 0:20:00which I presume will count.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03As opposed to the ordinary rupee in another country, yeah.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06We will find out. Pakistan. Is that right?
0:20:06 > 0:20:08If it is, how many people said it?
0:20:10 > 0:20:11It's right.
0:20:16 > 0:20:17Good answer. Look at that.
0:20:17 > 0:20:193, Glyn.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21APPLAUSE
0:20:22 > 0:20:26I tell you, these boys are unstoppable.
0:20:26 > 0:20:27They're good, aren't they?
0:20:27 > 0:20:30I know Glyn is trouble but he's also very clever, isn't he?
0:20:30 > 0:20:32That's the other thing. Yeah, the Pakistan rupee.
0:20:32 > 0:20:36It came into circulation in 1947, when they achieved independence.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Thanks very much indeed. Now, Linda.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42I'm struggling here, unfortunately. Erm...
0:20:44 > 0:20:48I think I'll go with the rupee and India.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51India, says Linda. Let's see if that's right.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54Let's see how many of our 100 people said India.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01- Yep, that's a high score. - APPLAUSE
0:21:01 > 0:21:04That is 90 for India.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08Yeah, that's a very big score. It's better than 100, but only just.
0:21:08 > 0:21:13- Thanks, Richard. Now then, Alex. - OK, erm...
0:21:14 > 0:21:17I think I'm going to go for franc and Switzerland.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20Switzerland, says Alex. Let's see if that's right,
0:21:20 > 0:21:22let's see how many of our 100 said Switzerland.
0:21:25 > 0:21:26It's right.
0:21:30 > 0:21:3121.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34APPLAUSE
0:21:36 > 0:21:38Yeah, the Swiss franc. Again, another very good answer.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40There's all sorts of answers on this list.
0:21:40 > 0:21:44- We're hearing some of the bigger ones at the moment.- Hmm.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46Thanks very much indeed. now, we're halfway through the round.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49Let's take a look at those scores. 3. Brilliant, Glyn.
0:21:49 > 0:21:50Lovely low score there.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53David and Glyn once again very strong at this stage.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57Then up to 21, Alex and Greg. Then up to 90, Linda and Jeff.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00So, Jeff, let's have a really clever answer from you.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03A nice low score, and hope that's enough to keep you in the game.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Best of luck. We're going to come back down the line.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08Can the second player please step up to the podium?
0:22:10 > 0:22:13OK, we are looking for any country other than the UK, obviously,
0:22:13 > 0:22:16which uses one of these five currencies.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19Greg, have you travelled around a lot?
0:22:19 > 0:22:20I've travelled a fair bit, yes.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23Certainly around Europe, it's part of my job.
0:22:24 > 0:22:29- We're talking about countries that currently use those.- Currently, yes.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31Current currencies.
0:22:31 > 0:22:32OK, in that case...
0:22:34 > 0:22:36..I'm going to have to go with Mexico.
0:22:37 > 0:22:42Mexico, OK. Mexico says Greg. Let's see if Mexico is right.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45There is your red line. Get below that, you're in the Head-to-head.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48How many of our 100 people said Mexico?
0:22:52 > 0:22:56Well done. That's done exactly what it needed to do. 45.
0:22:56 > 0:22:57APPLAUSE
0:22:59 > 0:23:00Takes your total up to 66.
0:23:00 > 0:23:05Yeah, about 18 or 19 Mexican pesos to a British pound.
0:23:05 > 0:23:09Jeff. Jeff, you are the high scorers still.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11You need to just take a look at David there,
0:23:11 > 0:23:15work out whether or not that's a man who knows his currencies,
0:23:15 > 0:23:18because that's what's going to decide this.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20If we have a lovely low score from you,
0:23:20 > 0:23:24something alone the lines of what Glyn scored in the first pass,
0:23:24 > 0:23:27maybe that will keep you in the game.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30Are you feeling comfortable with this as a category?
0:23:30 > 0:23:31- No.- Ah.
0:23:32 > 0:23:38I'm going to sort of hope that not many people say the country
0:23:38 > 0:23:40that's closest to Australia,
0:23:40 > 0:23:45thinking that Australia is a popular pound, and say New Zealand.
0:23:46 > 0:23:50OK, New Zealand, says Jeff. New Zealand.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52OK, no red line for you, you're the high scorers,
0:23:52 > 0:23:54but let's see if New Zealand is right
0:23:54 > 0:23:56and let's see how many people said it.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02Bad luck, Jeff. I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer.
0:24:02 > 0:24:06Scores you the maximum of 100 points, takes your total up to 190.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09You see, Lynda, I told you 90 wasn't a bad score.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12Yeah, it's the New Zealand dollar, I'm afraid.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Thanks.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18Now, David, great news for you, David, you are in the Head-to-head.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22There's a couple of countries where we've been bird watching.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24- Egypt is the pound. - Really, you've been there?
0:24:24 > 0:24:28- Yeah.- What's the furthest afield you've been?
0:24:28 > 0:24:31I've been to Australia.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35China. Venezuela, Peru.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37- Wow.- A few places.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41Been to Uganda and they use the shilling. So, Uganda.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44OK, Uganda, says David.
0:24:44 > 0:24:45This is fun. Uganda.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51No red line for you, you're already through.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54Absolutely right. Look at that.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Oh, 2, David.
0:25:02 > 0:25:032.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08That's a fantastic score. Very well done, indeed.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11- Takes your total up to 5. They are brilliant.- They are brilliant.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13That's terrific work. The Ugandan shilling.
0:25:13 > 0:25:17There's about 4,000 Ugandan shilling to a British pound.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20There are a huge amount of pointless answers here,
0:25:20 > 0:25:23I thought we might stumble across one, especially with the franc.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Virtually the whole of Africa uses the franc.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Let's take a look at some of them.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33Central African Republic. If in doubt, say Central African Republic.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36It's a pointless answer. Congo and Democratic Republic of the Congo.
0:25:36 > 0:25:37They both use francs.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40I'll go through some more in a minute on francs.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43Dominican Republic, they use the peso.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46Seychelles uses the rupee, that's the only pointless answer for rupee.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49South Sudan uses the pound. That's nice. A pointless answer.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51Sudan and Syria both use the pound
0:25:51 > 0:25:52and were both pointless answers as well.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55Egypt would have scored you 7 points for the pound.
0:25:56 > 0:25:57There's Sudan and Syria.
0:25:57 > 0:26:02Uruguay use the peso, Dominican Republic as well using the peso.
0:26:02 > 0:26:03In terms of the franc,
0:26:03 > 0:26:06you could also have had
0:26:06 > 0:26:09Benin, Djibouti, Liechtenstein, Rwanda, Burkina Faso, Chad,
0:26:09 > 0:26:13Coite d'Ivoire, Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, Togo, Guinea, Gabon,
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Guinea-Bissau, Comoros,
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Niger, Burundi, Senegal and Mali.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20Every single one of those was a pointless answer.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23Every single one of them. Well done if you said any of them at home.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25No pointless answers at all for the shilling.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Let's take a look at the top three answers.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29The ones that most of our 100 people said.
0:26:29 > 0:26:30We've seen all of them...
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37So at the end of our second round, I'm afraid it's Jeff
0:26:37 > 0:26:40and Lynda we have to say goodbye to with their high score of 190.
0:26:41 > 0:26:45- Wow. Interesting. All those pointless answers.- I know, amazing.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47- Didn't even think about Africa. - Just went blank.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49Ah, well. We'll see you again next time.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51We look very much forward to that indeed.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Jeff and Lynda, thanks very much for playing.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55APPLAUSE
0:26:55 > 0:26:59But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for the head-to-head.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05Congratulations, Glyn and David, Greg and Alex,
0:27:05 > 0:27:07you're now one step closer to the final
0:27:07 > 0:27:08and the chance to play for our jackpot,
0:27:08 > 0:27:10which currently stands at...
0:27:11 > 0:27:14CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:27:14 > 0:27:16We need to decide who's going to play for that money.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18To do that, you're now going to go head-to-head,
0:27:18 > 0:27:20but the big difference is you're now allowed to talk
0:27:20 > 0:27:22before you give your answers. You can confer.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25The first pair to win two questions will be playing for the jackpot.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28Best of luck, both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30APPLAUSE
0:27:33 > 0:27:36OK, here comes your first question. It concerns...
0:27:39 > 0:27:40Reunions, Richard.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43Going to show you five reunions now of cast members of TV shows or
0:27:43 > 0:27:48films, just need to tell us the cast of what, please.
0:27:48 > 0:27:49The most obscure one will win.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53OK, thanks very much. That's a nice thing. A nice reunion.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55- It is nice.- That is nice.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57Well, let's reveal our five reunions. Here they are.
0:27:57 > 0:27:58We have got...
0:28:15 > 0:28:22There we are. Five happy looking reunions. OK.
0:28:23 > 0:28:24Now then, Glyn and David,
0:28:24 > 0:28:28you've played best throughout the show so far, you get to go first.
0:28:33 > 0:28:37Yeah, we're struggling a bit here. They've all got older, haven't they?
0:28:37 > 0:28:38LAUGHTER
0:28:38 > 0:28:39Like us, yeah.
0:28:39 > 0:28:45- We'll go for B, Happy Days. - B, Happy Days. Happy Days.
0:28:45 > 0:28:49Greg and Alex, do you think you can talk us through the others?
0:28:49 > 0:28:55You know D is Star Trek. I think E is ET, the Extra-Terrestrial.
0:28:55 > 0:29:00- A is M*A*S*H.- Is it?- Yeah. - A is M*A*S*H.- Is it?
0:29:00 > 0:29:01- Yeah.- Are you sure?- Yes.
0:29:01 > 0:29:04- OK.- But I don't know C and I don't know E.
0:29:05 > 0:29:06I think go for A.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09We'll go A, M*A*S*H.
0:29:09 > 0:29:13A, M*A*S*H, say Greg and Alex. We have Happy Days and we have M*A*S*H.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16Glyn and David went for Happy Days. Let's see if they were right.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18B, Happy Days, is that right?
0:29:18 > 0:29:19How many people said it?
0:29:21 > 0:29:22It's right.
0:29:26 > 0:29:2735.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29APPLAUSE
0:29:31 > 0:29:35After much deliberation, Greg and Alex have gone for M*A*S*H for A.
0:29:35 > 0:29:36Let's see if that's right,
0:29:36 > 0:29:40let's see if that was the right option to have plumbed for.
0:29:42 > 0:29:43It's right.
0:29:43 > 0:29:44Needs to beat 35.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49It does. Very well done. Look at that. 17 for M*A*S*H.
0:29:49 > 0:29:51APPLAUSE
0:29:51 > 0:29:53Very well gauged, Alex.
0:29:53 > 0:29:57Which means, Greg and Alex, after one question, you're up 1-0.
0:29:57 > 0:29:58Well played, Greg and Alex.
0:29:58 > 0:30:02I know, Greg, you were tempted to go for Star Trek, D, weren't you?
0:30:02 > 0:30:05That would have lost you the points. That would have scored you 42.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08M*A*S*H a far better answer than Star Trek.
0:30:08 > 0:30:1242 there. C is the best answer on the board.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15It's a reunion of cast members of an absolutely brilliant film.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17If you haven't seen it, watch it with the kids this weekend,
0:30:17 > 0:30:19it's The Princess Bride.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22Would have scored you 3 points. The book is also terrific.
0:30:24 > 0:30:28E, that's the 20th anniversary of ET. You were right.
0:30:28 > 0:30:32That's better than Star Trek as well. That would have scored 12 points.
0:30:32 > 0:30:36That was the 20th anniversary of ET coming out, that was in 2002,
0:30:36 > 0:30:40- so the good news is ET is over 30 years old.- Oh, that's good, isn't it?
0:30:40 > 0:30:43- That makes you feel good. - I feel young.
0:30:43 > 0:30:44- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47- That is terrific news. - Wow. Good stuff.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49Thanks very much. Here comes your second question.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51Glyn and David, you have to win this one to stay in the game.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53Good luck. It concerns...
0:30:56 > 0:30:57Richard III, Richard.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00Yeah, we're simply going to show you five clues now
0:31:00 > 0:31:01to facts about Richard III.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03Can you give us the most obscure answer?
0:31:03 > 0:31:05Thanks very much. Let's reveal our five clues. Here they come.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07We have got...
0:31:25 > 0:31:27I'll read those all one last time.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48There we are. Five clues to facts about Richard III.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51Greg and Alex, you will go first this time.
0:32:00 > 0:32:05We're going to go for the comedian who played him
0:32:05 > 0:32:08in the first Blackadder series, which was Peter Cook.
0:32:09 > 0:32:13Peter Cook, says Greg. Peter Cook. Now then, Glyn and David.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16Can you talk us through the rest of the board?
0:32:16 > 0:32:19Right. "Now is the winter of our discontent," I won't do it.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21It's Shakespeare.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23We don't know the Northamptonshire Castle,
0:32:23 > 0:32:25that's probably the best answer.
0:32:25 > 0:32:29The battle he was defeated at and killed was Bosworth Field.
0:32:29 > 0:32:30I think they're right with Peter Cook.
0:32:30 > 0:32:34His bones have been discovered in Coventry, but York want them back.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38Leicester, sorry, you're right. Sorry, David.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40So what are we going for?
0:32:40 > 0:32:42We'll go for Bosworth.
0:32:42 > 0:32:46OK, Bosworth, say Glyn and David. So it's Peter Cook versus Bosworth.
0:32:47 > 0:32:48Let's find out.
0:32:48 > 0:32:52Peter Cook - is that right, how many people said it if it is?
0:32:53 > 0:32:54It's right.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01Oh, down it goes. Look at that. Brilliant answer.
0:33:01 > 0:33:025 for Greg and Alex.
0:33:02 > 0:33:03APPLAUSE
0:33:07 > 0:33:09Glyn and David have gone for Bosworth.
0:33:09 > 0:33:10Let's see if that's right,
0:33:10 > 0:33:13for the battle in which he was defeated and killed.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15Let's see how many people said Bosworth.
0:33:17 > 0:33:18It's right.
0:33:24 > 0:33:2626.
0:33:28 > 0:33:3026, good effort, Glyn and David,
0:33:30 > 0:33:33but I'm afraid Greg and Alex have pipped you there.
0:33:33 > 0:33:35After only two questions, Greg and Alex,
0:33:35 > 0:33:37you are through to the final 2-0.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40Very well played, guys. Your instinct is right.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42There was only one answer that would have beaten that,
0:33:42 > 0:33:44and it's the castle. Let's go from the top.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46It's Shakespeare, of course.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48Would have scored 57 points.
0:33:49 > 0:33:50That's quite low.
0:33:50 > 0:33:54The Northamptonshire Castle he was born in was Fotheringhay Castle.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57That scores 3 points. Does that ring a bell?
0:33:57 > 0:34:02Yeah, we... Cos it was Mary Queen of Scots was held there, wasn't she?
0:34:02 > 0:34:06Yeah. Once there was a rare green bunting there as well, I think.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11- Is that a bird?- It is a bird, but it's a very common one.
0:34:11 > 0:34:14Oh, right, it was a one-legged green bunting.
0:34:14 > 0:34:15LAUGHTER
0:34:16 > 0:34:18The city was Leicester, as I think you knew.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20That scored almost as many as Shakespeare.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23- Scored 54 points. - Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26So the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:34:26 > 0:34:28I'm really sorry to say it's Glyn and David.
0:34:29 > 0:34:33Oh, you've played so well today. Absolutely phenomenal.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35Brilliant range of general knowledge as well.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37I'm sorry we have to say goodbye to you.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39It's been brilliant fun having you on the show.
0:34:39 > 0:34:42Glyn and David, wonderful contestants.
0:34:42 > 0:34:43CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:34:43 > 0:34:46But for Greg and Alex, it's now time for our Pointless Final.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52Congratulations, Greg and Alex, you've seen off all the competition
0:34:52 > 0:34:55and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at...
0:35:06 > 0:35:07CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:35:10 > 0:35:13You've done everything you needed to do. Everything.
0:35:13 > 0:35:17You went out last show, the jackpot got a bit bigger. Back you came.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20It was a 2-0 defeat last time in the head-to-head, this time,
0:35:20 > 0:35:23you soared through there 2-0.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25Only the boot, obviously, on the other foot.
0:35:25 > 0:35:28What would you like to see come up this time, this final round?
0:35:28 > 0:35:29What would we like to come up?
0:35:29 > 0:35:33I think we're reasonably good together on sport.
0:35:33 > 0:35:34Formula 1, Tennis.
0:35:34 > 0:35:36Combined together, maybe Formula 1.
0:35:36 > 0:35:37OK, well, best of luck.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40As always, you kick this round off by choosing a category.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42Here are your choice of four options...
0:35:50 > 0:35:53Let's go for motor sport and hope to God F1 comes up.
0:35:53 > 0:35:56Unless it's motorbikes.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58Go on, motor sport.
0:35:58 > 0:36:00- Motor sport.- Yeah. - OK, motor sport it is.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03Yeah, there's three options here, don't forget, guys.
0:36:03 > 0:36:05Your first option is -
0:36:05 > 0:36:07the name the name of any World Rally Champion,
0:36:07 > 0:36:11from the first title in 1979 all the way through to 2012.
0:36:11 > 0:36:16Any World Superbike Champion from 1988 all the way through to 2012.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19We're looking for any driver who has driven for Red Bull in at least
0:36:19 > 0:36:23one Grand Prix since 2005.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26Any World Rally Champion, any World Superbike Champ or anybody who
0:36:26 > 0:36:30has driven for Red Bull since 2005 all the way through to 2012.
0:36:30 > 0:36:31OK, as always,
0:36:31 > 0:36:34you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:36:34 > 0:36:37All you need to win that jackpot, £3,250, don't forget,
0:36:37 > 0:36:40is to find just one pointless answer.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43Remember, the answers you give can come from any of these categories.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46It's entirely up to you how you spread them across the categories.
0:36:46 > 0:36:48They can all come from one category, it could be one from each,
0:36:48 > 0:36:50two from one, one from another...
0:36:50 > 0:36:52It's entirely up to you. Are you ready?
0:36:52 > 0:36:54- Yeah...- As ready as ever.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock. There they are.
0:36:56 > 0:36:57Your time starts now.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59There's only been three Red Bull drivers -
0:36:59 > 0:37:02David Coulthard, Sebastien Vettel and Mark Webber.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04I can't think of anyone else.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07Well, I think they're going to be our three choices, aren't they?
0:37:07 > 0:37:10Well, World Rally Champion Colin McRae, but that's just obvious.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12And Valentino Rossi for World Superbike Champions.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15- Well, let's take one from each, then.- Uff... OK.
0:37:15 > 0:37:18Just in case no-one knows anything about Superbike.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21Um... I can't think of anyone else.
0:37:21 > 0:37:25Um... Valentino Rossi... Colin McRae...
0:37:25 > 0:37:29- Go McRae, then Rossi and... - And...- What did you say - Coulthard?
0:37:29 > 0:37:32Yeah, just in case anyone's forgotten what's happened
0:37:32 > 0:37:35- in the last six years. - That's possible, isn't it,
0:37:35 > 0:37:39because everyone thinks that the current two - Vettel and...
0:37:39 > 0:37:42- Who was the other one? - Well, obviously they're not in
0:37:42 > 0:37:46the Jaguar team when Irvine was driving, and the other guys, so...
0:37:46 > 0:37:47Ah, I don't know.
0:37:47 > 0:37:50- Ten seconds left.- OK, ten seconds left. What are we going to do?
0:37:50 > 0:37:54- Rossi, McRae...- You give the answers, all right, this time?
0:37:54 > 0:37:57- OK.- And go for... Yeah, go for David Coulthard.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00OK, that's your time up, and I need your three answers.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02We'll have to go for...
0:38:02 > 0:38:04I'm going to say Colin McRae first...
0:38:04 > 0:38:07- Will you say which category they're in as well? Sorry.- Oh, sorry.
0:38:07 > 0:38:09Colin McRae, World Rally Champion.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11OK, Colin McRae, World Rally Champion.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14- WHISPERING:- Ah, can't think of anyone else. Um...
0:38:14 > 0:38:18I'll go for David Coulthard, Red Bull F1 driver.
0:38:18 > 0:38:22- David Coulthard.- And Valentino Rossi, World Superbike champion.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25And Valentino Rossi. Now, of those three, which is
0:38:25 > 0:38:27your best shot at a pointless answer, do you think?
0:38:27 > 0:38:31- Probably say Valentino Rossi.- OK, we'll put Rossi last.- Just in case.
0:38:31 > 0:38:34- Which is your least likely, do you think?- David Coulthard.
0:38:34 > 0:38:35OK, Coulthard we'll put first.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38OK, let's put the answers up on the board in that order,
0:38:38 > 0:38:39and here they are.
0:38:39 > 0:38:40We have got...
0:38:44 > 0:38:47Well, good luck. Your first answer was David Coulthard.
0:38:47 > 0:38:49Now, if this is correct and it is pointless,
0:38:49 > 0:38:51you will win today's jackpot of £3,250.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53That's turning into quite a nice jackpot now.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56What would your plans be for that, Greg?
0:38:56 > 0:38:59- My plans would be to really let Alex have it all...- Oh, thanks!
0:38:59 > 0:39:03..because he needs it to pay off his student loan, poor lad.
0:39:03 > 0:39:04AUDIENCE: Aw!
0:39:04 > 0:39:08And Alex, while your dad's listening to everyone saying "aw"...
0:39:08 > 0:39:10- HE WHISPERS:- What would you spend it on?
0:39:10 > 0:39:12Well, I'm about 20 grand in debt,
0:39:12 > 0:39:15so that's only going to partially cover it, but, um...
0:39:15 > 0:39:17I went to Australia last year to visit Emily, my sister,
0:39:17 > 0:39:20and I would like to go again and do a bit of travelling,
0:39:20 > 0:39:24do some swing dance camps, and, yes, pay off some of the student loan.
0:39:24 > 0:39:25LAUGHTER
0:39:25 > 0:39:27Very well said. Now, three answers on the board.
0:39:27 > 0:39:30Let's hope at least one of those wins you that money.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33So, David Coulthard, your first answer. As I say,
0:39:33 > 0:39:37if it is pointless, you will win that jackpot. So, for £3250,
0:39:37 > 0:39:40let's find out if David Coulthard has been a Red Bull driver.
0:39:43 > 0:39:46Well, the answer is yes, he has. I think you knew that.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49The question is, though, is this going to be a pointless answer?
0:39:49 > 0:39:51Down it goes, through the 20s.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54If it goes all the way down to 0, you leave with £3,250...
0:39:54 > 0:39:57Eight. Not bad.
0:39:57 > 0:39:59APPLAUSE
0:40:01 > 0:40:02Not a bad score.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05Not pointless, though, so only two more chances to win today's jackpot.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08OK, your second answer was Colin McRae.
0:40:08 > 0:40:12Again, this has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot.
0:40:12 > 0:40:17So, for £3,250, is or was Colin McRae a World Rally Champion driver?
0:40:20 > 0:40:22Yes, he was.
0:40:22 > 0:40:26David Coulthard took you down to 8.
0:40:27 > 0:40:30Colin McRae takes you to 33. 33.
0:40:30 > 0:40:33APPLAUSE
0:40:34 > 0:40:37OK, so everything is now riding on your third and final answer,
0:40:37 > 0:40:39Valentino Rossi.
0:40:40 > 0:40:45Let's find out, for £3,250 - is he a World Superbike champion?
0:40:45 > 0:40:47Valentino Rossi. Is it pointless?
0:40:50 > 0:40:52Ooh.
0:40:52 > 0:40:53- Oh, dear.- Ooh, bad luck.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56APPLAUSE
0:40:56 > 0:40:58APPLAUSE DROWNS OUT SPEECH
0:40:58 > 0:41:00Well, unfortunately, you didn't manage to find that
0:41:00 > 0:41:03all-important pointless answer, so I'm afraid you don't win today's
0:41:03 > 0:41:06jackpot of £3,250, and that will roll over onto the next show,
0:41:06 > 0:41:08but it's been great having you on the show, and you do, of course,
0:41:08 > 0:41:11get to take home a Pointless trophy each, so well done.
0:41:11 > 0:41:12Thank you.
0:41:12 > 0:41:16APPLAUSE
0:41:16 > 0:41:19Unlucky, guys. Just to clear up, Valentino Rossi is a MotoGP rider,
0:41:19 > 0:41:22not a World Superbike rider, but 13 of 100 made the same mistake,
0:41:22 > 0:41:25so it wouldn't have been pointless even if that had been the category.
0:41:25 > 0:41:28Lots of pointless answers here, especially on the rally drivers,
0:41:28 > 0:41:30and I think on the Formula 1,
0:41:30 > 0:41:33people at home will have got a couple of pointless answers as well.
0:41:33 > 0:41:35Let's take a look at the rally drivers first.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37Frenchman Didier Auriol was a pointless answer.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40The Finn Hannu Mikkola, one of the most famous rally drivers
0:41:40 > 0:41:43of all time, pointless answer - 1983 world champion.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46Petter Solberg was a pointless answer. Timo Salonen.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48Also, Juha Kankkunen was a pointless answer,
0:41:48 > 0:41:51as was Marcus Gronholm, so some big names there.
0:41:51 > 0:41:56Bjorn Waldegard, as well, was a pointless answer. Well done if you said any of those. The superbikes...
0:41:56 > 0:42:00The biggest answers were Carl Fogarty, Neil Hodgson, Colin Edwards,
0:42:00 > 0:42:03Troy Bayliss, James Toseland. Those were all bigger scorers,
0:42:03 > 0:42:06but here are some of the pointless ones. Ben Spies, the American.
0:42:06 > 0:42:10Fred Merkel, Raymond Roche, Scott Russell would have been
0:42:10 > 0:42:11a pointless answer.
0:42:11 > 0:42:13John Kocinski also a pointless answer. Well done if you said that.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16And for Red Bull,
0:42:16 > 0:42:19there's two guys who drove for them in 2005, who you will know -
0:42:19 > 0:42:22Christian Klien and Vitantonio Liuzzi,
0:42:22 > 0:42:26and very, very well done to anyone who said Robert Doornbos,
