0:00:12 > 0:00:15APPLAUSE
0:00:22 > 0:00:25Thank you. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong, and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:25 > 0:00:30the quiz show where we are always striving to find the most obscure answers. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33APPLAUSE
0:00:33 > 0:00:35And couple number one.
0:00:35 > 0:00:39Hello, I'm Keith, this is my son Dayle, and we're from Coventry.
0:00:39 > 0:00:43Couple number two. Hi, my name's Ryan, this is friend Chris, and we've come from Somerset.
0:00:43 > 0:00:48Couple number three. Hi, my name's Naomi, this is my brother Will, and we're from Worcestershire.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51And finally, couple number four. Hello, my name's Sophie,
0:00:51 > 0:00:54this my husband Alex, and we're from Whitley Bay.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58And these are today's contestants. APPLAUSE
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Thanks, everyone. We'll get to know more about you throughout the show.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05That just leaves one more person to introduce. He won't take no for an answer.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09Unless the question happens to be, "How much nonsense will Richard Osman put up with?"
0:01:09 > 0:01:12It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard. Hiya.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Hi, everyone. APPLAUSE
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Good afternoon to you. And to you. Great show today.
0:01:18 > 0:01:22We've got two returning pairs. Dayle and Keith got knocked out very early in the last one,
0:01:22 > 0:01:26but Sophie and Alex got through to the head-to-head, so they're the pair to beat.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30Round one some people are going to absolutely adore.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34It's one of those ones where there's some real specialist knowledge required.
0:01:34 > 0:01:39They'll also be some easy answers, as well, but people with proper specialist knowledge will love it.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43Thanks, Richard. All our questions have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46You need to find the obscure answers those 100 didn't get.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50Everyone's trying to find a pointless answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54Each time that happens, we will add £250 to today's jackpot.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58Estelle and Cath didn't win the jackpot last time, so we add another £1,000 to that.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01So today's jackpot starts off at £2,000.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05APPLAUSE
0:02:05 > 0:02:09Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless. APPLAUSE
0:02:12 > 0:02:15OK, in this round, I'll take an answer from each of you
0:02:15 > 0:02:17but there is to be no conferring.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21At the end of the round, the pair with the highest score will be heading home.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Our first category today is...
0:02:25 > 0:02:31It's flags. Decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33And whoever's going first, step up to the podium.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40OK, and our question concerns...
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Tropics of Capricorn and Cancer. Richard.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49We're going to show you 25 flags now up on the board.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53They're all flags of countries which are crossed by the Tropic of Capricorn or Cancer,
0:02:53 > 0:02:56but you'll recognise them by the flags. Some of them, anyway.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Can you give us the most obscure of these?
0:02:59 > 0:03:03By country, we means a sovereign state that's a member of the UN in its own right.
0:03:03 > 0:03:08Thanks very much. OK, we're going to put this image up on the board and here it is.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12There are all the flags we would like to have identified.
0:03:12 > 0:03:17Flags of nations that lie on the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn.
0:03:17 > 0:03:22Now then, Dayle and Keith, you all drew lots before the show and today you are going to go first. Dayle.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Remind us what you do. I'm a computer technician.
0:03:26 > 0:03:31But in your spare time, you are one of this country's most prolific songwriters.
0:03:31 > 0:03:36You have, in the space of less than two years, written over 65 songs. Yes.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40That's incredible going!
0:03:40 > 0:03:45Being honest, of those songs, how many are you really, really proud of?
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Probably about four or five at the most.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54That's pretty good going still, four or five hit songs.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58I'm... You know, you've got your friend over in America who sings them for you.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00Yes. What kind of music?
0:04:00 > 0:04:05I've covered every genre apart from classical, cos there are no words, obviously.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08OK, Dayle, there are your flags.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11There are your flags.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14I think I know a few of them.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18I'm not sure whether I should take a bit of a punt or go safe.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24I'm going to take a punt on Bahamas.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28The Bahamas, says Dayle. Let's see if their flag is up there,
0:04:28 > 0:04:31and if it is, let's see how many people spotted it.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35It's right!
0:04:39 > 0:04:44Look at that! Two! Brilliant start to the show, Dayle. Very well done indeed.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47Lovely low score. Two for the Bahamas. APPLAUSE
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Yeah, very well played from that first podium. There it is,
0:04:49 > 0:04:53the second from left up the top there, the Bahamas.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55As I say, there's some tough ones up there.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59I think there's a few easy ones so you can get out of the round unscathed,
0:04:59 > 0:05:02but the people who really know their stuff will be trying to go through all of these.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Anyone who gets all 25 of these
0:05:05 > 0:05:09will have been doing very, very well indeed. There's some real toughies.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13Thanks, Richard. Chris, welcome to Pointless. Great to have you here. What do you do?
0:05:13 > 0:05:16I work for a famous shoe company.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18What do you do for the shoe company?
0:05:18 > 0:05:24I basically supply shoes to the countries in Asia,
0:05:24 > 0:05:30South America, Australia, New Zealand, China, all sorts of different countries.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Do you get to travel to all these places? I do eventually.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36I've only just recently joined my new section
0:05:36 > 0:05:39and I'm off to China later on in the year.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43That's very exciting. What are your hobbies when you're not doing shoes?
0:05:43 > 0:05:46I'm a big football fan. I support Yeovil Town,
0:05:46 > 0:05:48which I go to home and away.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52I also play cricket for a local cricket side
0:05:52 > 0:05:54in the summer when I'm not watching football.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57OK. So how's your knowledge of flags?
0:05:57 > 0:06:01Not too bad. Again, because I love football,
0:06:01 > 0:06:05a lot of these countries are popping up that I recognise the flags.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09I think I'm going to go with Angola. Angola, says Chris.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:06:15 > 0:06:19Ooh. Bad luck, Chris. I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer,
0:06:19 > 0:06:21scores you the maximum of 100 points.
0:06:21 > 0:06:27Yeah, sorry, Angola not up there, I'm afraid, and also not on either of those tropics, I'm afraid.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31Thanks, Richard. Will, we come to you. Welcome to Pointless.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35Good to have you here. What do you do? I am an industrial designer
0:06:35 > 0:06:39and I'm involved with lightweight hybrid railway vehicles.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Not anything about that that doesn't excite me. That is brilliant.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45Lightweight hybrid... Hybrid!
0:06:45 > 0:06:49Lightweight hybrid railways vehicles. Flywheels.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Wow! But these are not passenger vehicles, are they? Yes, they are.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55I eat my words. They are. They can carry 60 people
0:06:55 > 0:06:59but using an engine from a car. Get out of town! True.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Will, that's incredible.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04And it's hybrid? What are the things that make up the hybrid?
0:07:04 > 0:07:08The hybrid bit is a flywheel. It's all in the flywheel. It's all in the flywheel!
0:07:08 > 0:07:14But that is quite exciting, genuinely. All bluster aside, that is... With a car engine?
0:07:14 > 0:07:20Yeah. To be driven just by a single person? A car engine in a pick-up truck might carry two people.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24In a train, with a bit of clever engineering, 60 people.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27OK, anyway, listen, we are talking about flags now. How are you on flags?
0:07:27 > 0:07:32Goodish. I'm going to say this one for my globe-trotting uncle.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35This is the kind of round where a globe-trotting uncle is quite handy.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38I'm going to say Saudi Arabia.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Saudi Arabia. Let's see if that's right,
0:07:41 > 0:07:44and if it is, how many of our 100 people said it.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Absolutely right.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Well, two is our lowest score so far.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Saudi Arabia almost down there, six.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57APPLAUSE
0:07:59 > 0:08:01It is always good to have a globe-trotting uncle,
0:08:01 > 0:08:04for many reasons. There it is, second row down, two in.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Thanks, Richard. Now, Alex.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Alex, welcome back.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14Now, how are we feeling about flags?
0:08:14 > 0:08:18OK. Actually, I did geography when I was at uni.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22So I should be all right at this.
0:08:22 > 0:08:27I think there's a couple of safe ones that I can see,
0:08:27 > 0:08:30but the one that I'm going to go with is slightly more risky,
0:08:30 > 0:08:34but I believe it's OK. I'm going to say Mexico.
0:08:34 > 0:08:39Mexico, says Alex. Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many of our 100 people said it.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43It's absolutely right.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50Very well done. 13 for Mexico. APPLAUSE
0:08:54 > 0:08:58Another good answer. The Mexican symbol comes from the Aztec myth
0:08:58 > 0:09:03that the Aztecs were to settle as soon as they saw an eagle on a cactus eating a snake.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07And where they settled became Mexico City.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Thanks very much. We're halfway through the round, let's look at the scores.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Two the best score of that pass, Dayle, by a long chalk.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Well, quite a long chalk. A medium-sized chalk.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19But a cracking score. That puts you and Keith in a pretty commanding position at this stage.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22Then up to six, where we find Will and Naomi.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Up to 13, where we find Alex and Sophie.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28And then I'm afraid it's way up to 100, where we find Chris and Ryan.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31That may well not be the last incorrect answer of the round, Chris.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Ryan, as long as you get a nice low score,
0:09:33 > 0:09:36that might be enough to keep you in the game.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40Let's see. Best of luck. We'll come back down the line. Second players, step up to the podium.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47Sophie, we're looking for the countries to whom these flags belong.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51There they are. You're on 13. If you can score 86 or less
0:09:51 > 0:09:54with this answer, you are through to round two.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57Now, Sophie, remind us what you do. I'm a midwife.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01That's right. And remind us what you get up to in your spare time.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04Well, I'm currently training for the Great North Swim,
0:10:04 > 0:10:07which is a mile-long swim in Lake Windermere.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10I say training in the loosest sense of the word.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Mostly working on the carb loading at the moment.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15And going to the pool from time to time. Yeah.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19Is there a routine you have do, a schedule you have to follow
0:10:19 > 0:10:22to work up to your mile? There probably should be
0:10:22 > 0:10:25but it's a little bit hit and miss, I would say, currently.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Hit and miss is probably what they would advise.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32You don't want to be doing your full mile now. That would be madness. I'll just gently work up to that.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36Yeah. Quite right. Good stuff. Now, what about these flags?
0:10:36 > 0:10:39This is just horrible for me.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Erm... I'm really struggling.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45There is one that I do know for sure,
0:10:45 > 0:10:52and seeing as we only need a relatively high score,
0:10:52 > 0:10:56I am going to try and play it safe and I'm going to say Australia.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00Australia, says Sophie. Let's see if that's right, and if it is,
0:11:00 > 0:11:05how many people said it. Here's your red line, nice and high. Get below that, you're in round two.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08It's right and you're through.
0:11:09 > 0:11:1250. APPLAUSE
0:11:12 > 0:11:1450 for Australia, takes your total up to 63.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18Well done, Sophie. Well played, Sophie. Very smart tactics there.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22You did exactly what you needed to do. There it is, bottom right.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25Thanks very much. Now then, Naomi.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29Naomi, what do you do? At the moment, I'm a full-time mother.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32I've got a seven-month-old baby. Lovely. Getting any sleep?
0:11:32 > 0:11:35Erm, sometimes, but not every night.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38No. What did you do before you were a mother?
0:11:38 > 0:11:42I was working in a library as a library assistant, and before that, I was a police officer.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44We've had a lot of library assistants on the show.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48Did you enjoy the library? Yes. Nice and quiet after being a police officer.
0:11:48 > 0:11:53Definitely a very good change. I enjoyed working with books rather than criminals.
0:11:53 > 0:11:58Do you think you'd go back to either of those? Yes, I'd work in a library again. I love working with books.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02Very good. Well, you're on six. If you can score 93 or less,
0:12:02 > 0:12:04you are through to the next round, nice and easy.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08Erm... You say it's nice and easy,
0:12:08 > 0:12:11but I'm slightly nervous that I might get it totally wrong.
0:12:11 > 0:12:16Erm... But I'm going to say Argentina.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19Argentina, says Naomi.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said Argentina. Here's your red line, nice and high.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29There we are, through you go to the next round. Good answer.
0:12:32 > 0:12:3518. APPLAUSE
0:12:35 > 0:12:3818 takes your total up to 24. APPLAUSE
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Well played again. There's the Argentinean flag.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44The blue and the white represent the clear skies and the snow of the Andes.
0:12:44 > 0:12:49And the sun there, they had the first mass demonstration in favour of independence on a cloudy day
0:12:49 > 0:12:52on May 25th, and then the sun poked through the clouds,
0:12:52 > 0:12:56and the sun represents that very sun. Wow.
0:12:56 > 0:13:02So then, Ryan. Now, you know what you have to do here. You're the high scorers on 100.
0:13:02 > 0:13:07Ryan, what do you do? I actually work for a very famous shoe company, as well.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09The same very famous shoe company for whom Chris works?
0:13:09 > 0:13:12Up until recently, yes, but now a different one.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16Oh. So, yeah, we were colleagues for a while down in Somerset.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19And what do you do, Ryan? I'm a national account manager,
0:13:19 > 0:13:24so essentially, my job is to sell various different products,
0:13:24 > 0:13:29apparel and footwear, to the clothing industry in the UK.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32So you don't get to swan around like Chris? Actually, yeah, I do.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35I manage to get quite a lot around Europe and stuff like that.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39I'm off to Milan in a couple of weeks' time and then Davos at the end of the year.
0:13:39 > 0:13:44That's fun. That's good. And are you specifically shoes or clothing as well?
0:13:44 > 0:13:47I do clothing and footwear. Good.
0:13:47 > 0:13:51And your hobbies? I like a bit of singing. I play the guitar.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55If there's a karaoke party, you won't get me off the mic.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58I'm a specialist in Mustang Sally,
0:13:58 > 0:14:01The Power Of Love by Huey Lewis And The News, songs like that.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04I'm glad you've told us this cos we will be keying these up for later.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08Oh, yeah. Good. Now, Ryan, what are you going to go for?
0:14:08 > 0:14:12It has to be low-scoring. Yeah, this is going to be tough.
0:14:12 > 0:14:16The only possible scenario in which you can survive
0:14:16 > 0:14:19is you score two or less
0:14:19 > 0:14:22and then Keith has to score 100.
0:14:22 > 0:14:26Right, I'm just going to have to go for broke. I'm going to try Uruguay.
0:14:26 > 0:14:31Uruguay, says Ryan. Uruguay. No red line for you as you're the high scorers.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34How many of our 100 people said Uruguay? Is it right?
0:14:37 > 0:14:40Ooh, bad luck, Ryan! Bad luck.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer, takes your total up to 200.
0:14:44 > 0:14:49Yeah, the flag not up there, Ryan, but I think both of you on that podium, you've played ever so well
0:14:49 > 0:14:53and you both went for good answers. I would say unfortunate members of the 200 club.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56Also, Uruguay is too far south to be on one of the tropics.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59Thanks. Now, Keith.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03Keith, what happened last time? Sitcoms. Not good.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05They didn't help you at all, did they, sitcoms?
0:15:05 > 0:15:11No. There were easy ones, but... we didn't know any of the hard ones, unfortunately. Yeah.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Yeah, they were big scorers, those.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16Flags? How do you feel about flags?
0:15:16 > 0:15:19I'm happy. I'm just going to play it safe because I can.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23You can. Or... Here's what you could do, Keith.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25You are through to the next round come what may,
0:15:25 > 0:15:28cos the high scorers, Ryan and Chris, are way out of your reach on 200.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30You could try and find a pointless answer
0:15:30 > 0:15:33and that would add 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Erm, could do. Erm...
0:15:36 > 0:15:39You do what you like, Keith. I'm going to go with Chile.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41You're going to go with Chile. OK. Chile, says Keith.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44Let's see if Chile's right, and if it is, how many people said it.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47No red line for you, you are already through.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51It's right!
0:15:56 > 0:15:58Very well done. Seven. Look at that.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Brilliant answer, Keith. APPLAUSE
0:16:00 > 0:16:04Takes your total up to nine, the lowest total of the round by a long margin.
0:16:04 > 0:16:09Yeah, very well played on podium one. Again, the Chilean flag there
0:16:09 > 0:16:11on the second row up, first from the left.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14The white, again, is the snow of the Andes.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17The blue, again, is the sky.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20The red is the blood split in the struggle for independence.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23And the star is a sign of honour and progress.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26That's the Chilean flag for you. That's why I haven't done that for every flag,
0:16:26 > 0:16:31cos virtually all the stories are the same. Right. There are a couple of pointless answer.
0:16:31 > 0:16:38Very well done if you said either Mali, there's Mali. Very well done if you said that.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41And the other pointless answer was Madagascar.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44There's the Madagascan flag. Terrific work if you said any of those.
0:16:44 > 0:16:49And the top three scorers, South Africa, which would've scored you 36,
0:16:49 > 0:16:51Brazil, which would've scored you 48,
0:16:51 > 0:16:55and Australia was our biggest answer of all for 50.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58Very well done to anyone who got many of those.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01They were tough. Yeah, they were tough.
0:17:01 > 0:17:06There's some hard... If you know all of those flags, you must know pretty much all the flags in the world.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09Which some people do. Which some do. Thanks, Richard.
0:17:09 > 0:17:14At the end of our first round, the pair heading home with a high score of 200, it's Ryan and Chris.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17I'm sorry. Yes, well, two incorrect answers there,
0:17:17 > 0:17:20but for the right reasons, as Richard said.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24You were doing exactly what Pointless wants you to do, find a nice obscure answer,
0:17:24 > 0:17:28which bodes very well for your next appearance, when I'm sure you'll do much better.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32Meantime, thanks very much for playing. Ryan and Chris. APPLAUSE
0:17:34 > 0:17:36But for the remaining three pairs, it's time for round two.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38APPLAUSE
0:17:40 > 0:17:44Only three pairs remain. At the end of this round,
0:17:44 > 0:17:48we'll be saying goodbye to yet another pair. Very best of luck to all three pairs.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51Our category for round two is...
0:17:52 > 0:17:56Literature. Decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05And the question concerns...
0:18:07 > 0:18:09Literary characters, Richard.
0:18:09 > 0:18:14We're going to give you the first names of a series of principal characters from different books.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17We need you to give us the surnames. There'll be six on each pass,
0:18:17 > 0:18:2012 in all to have a go at at home. Thanks.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24So we're looking for the surnames of these literary characters.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26And here's our first board of six.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40I'll read those all one last time.
0:18:50 > 0:18:55There we are. Six literary characters that need a surname.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59Dayle, what is the most obscure of those you can give us?
0:18:59 > 0:19:02Er, I only know two of those.
0:19:02 > 0:19:09Er, but I think... Well, I hope the most obscure of those two...
0:19:10 > 0:19:13..would be Vito Corleone from The Godfather.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16Corleone, says Dayle, for The Godfather.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said Corleone.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23It's right.
0:19:27 > 0:19:3020. APPLAUSE
0:19:30 > 0:19:3320 for Corleone.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36Yeah, sold over 21 million copies, that book.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39Now then, Will.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42Will, what do you make of this board?
0:19:42 > 0:19:44I'm better off with flags.
0:19:44 > 0:19:48Pretty colours, shapes, patterns, that sort of thing.
0:19:48 > 0:19:54But... I'm going to have a go at Atticus Finch.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57Atticus Finch, says Will, from To Kill A Mockingbird.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said Atticus Finch.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04It's right.
0:20:09 > 0:20:1211. APPLAUSE
0:20:12 > 0:20:1511 for Atticus Finch. Very well done indeed.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Yeah, the only novel published by Harper Lee
0:20:17 > 0:20:23and Atticus Finch the hero of it, the hero lawyer, played by Gregory Peck in the film version. Thanks.
0:20:23 > 0:20:27Now then, Sophie. You're the last person to have this board,
0:20:27 > 0:20:31so if you fancied it, you could talk us through all the gaps.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35I don't think I'll be able to talk us through, really.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38There's only one that I know for sure,
0:20:38 > 0:20:41cos the other two that I knew have gone,
0:20:41 > 0:20:43but I think that'll be a very high scorer,
0:20:43 > 0:20:46so I'm maybe going to...
0:20:47 > 0:20:50..have a bit of a risk
0:20:50 > 0:20:54and go with Becky from Vanity Fair
0:20:54 > 0:20:56as Granger.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59Becky Granger, says Sophie.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many of our 100 people said that.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Bad luck. Bad luck.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10Becky Granger an incorrect answer, scores you the maximum of 100 points.
0:21:12 > 0:21:17I'm sorry, Sophie. The principal character in Vanity Fair is Becky... Sharp. Becky Sharp, yeah.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21Would've scored you five points, would've been a very good answer.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24Played by Reese Witherspoon in the most recent film adaptation.
0:21:24 > 0:21:28Now, the one at the bottom is the one everyone has avoided.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32It's better than getting 100 points, but would've been a big scorer. Ebenezer Scrooge.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35Would've scored you 83 points.
0:21:35 > 0:21:42The top one, from Grapes Of Wrath, is Tom Joad. Would've scored you one point.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45And John Grisham's The Firm, the hero of that is a pointless answer.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49Very well done if you said Mitch McDeere.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Mitch McDeere, no points at all. Played by Tom Cruise in the film.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56Thanks. We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at the scores.
0:21:56 > 0:21:5811 the best score of that pass, Will. Well done.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00Then up to 20, where we find Dayle and Keith.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03Then I'm sorry to say, up to 100, where we find Sophie and Alex.
0:22:03 > 0:22:08Well, it may not be the last high score of the round.
0:22:08 > 0:22:12Alex, at the very least, we need a low score from you and we'll have to hope that's enough to keep you in.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15We'll come back down the line. Second players, take your places at the podium.
0:22:18 > 0:22:22OK, let's put six more literary characters on the board. And here they are.
0:22:38 > 0:22:39I'll read those all one last time.
0:22:51 > 0:22:56There we are, six literary characters looking for surnames.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Now then, Alex, you're the high scorers.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01We need a low score from you.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05How are you feeling about that board generally?
0:23:06 > 0:23:09Terrified. HE LAUGHS
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Erm, that's a tricky board.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14I think Sophie did the right thing having a bit of a punt
0:23:14 > 0:23:17in that last round.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19I think there's one that I might know.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23But I wouldn't even be sure of that.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27And given that I've kind of got to try and pull something out of the fire here,
0:23:27 > 0:23:30I'm just going to take a bit of a punt, as well.
0:23:31 > 0:23:36And it really is a punt. I'm going to say for Brideshead Revisited...
0:23:39 > 0:23:42..I'm going to go with... Hardy.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46Charles Hardy. That's got an air about it. Charles Hardy.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48It has an air about it, certainly. Charles Hardy.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52You're the high scorers so there's no red line for you. We just have to hope it goes a long way down.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55We also have to hope it's right. Charles Hardy. Is it right?
0:23:57 > 0:24:03Oh, bad luck. An incorrect answer, Alex, which means you score the maximum of 100 points,
0:24:03 > 0:24:06taking your total up to 200. Sounds convincing, though.
0:24:06 > 0:24:10Does sound convincing. I convinced myself. Charlie Hardy.
0:24:10 > 0:24:14Charlie Hardy and Becky Granger. I'm delighted to announce they're getting married.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17LAUGHTER Aww! That'd be nice, wouldn't it? That would be nice.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20There, now, Naomi.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Good news. You're through to the head-to-head.
0:24:23 > 0:24:27However, we will need an answer from you for this round.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31How do you feel about this as a category? It's good. I should know books,
0:24:31 > 0:24:34having worked recently in a library, but I don't know all of them,
0:24:34 > 0:24:37so I'll just have to think which one is the lowest.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41I'm going to say Mark Darcy for Bridget Jones's Diary.
0:24:41 > 0:24:46Mark Darcy, says Naomi. Let's see if that's right, how many people said it. No red line, you're through.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50It's right.
0:24:54 > 0:24:5618. APPLAUSE
0:24:56 > 0:24:5918 takes your total up to 29.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02Well played. Based on Pride And Prejudice, of course,
0:25:02 > 0:25:04so Fitzwilliam Darcy becomes Mark Darcy.
0:25:04 > 0:25:09Thanks, Richard. Now, Keith. Again, you are through to the head-to-head.
0:25:09 > 0:25:13Even if you score 100, you won't overtake the high score of 200.
0:25:13 > 0:25:17But that board is all yours, Keith. If you felt like filling in the blanks, that'd be great.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20Erm, I'd love to fill in the blanks, but I can't.
0:25:20 > 0:25:24I don't know any of them whatsoever.
0:25:24 > 0:25:28So I'm just going to come up with a mad name,
0:25:28 > 0:25:32I'm going to say Charles Macintosh. Charles Macintosh for...
0:25:32 > 0:25:35Brideshead Revisited. Let's see if Charles Macintosh is right.
0:25:35 > 0:25:39It wasn't Charles Hardy. Let's see if Charles Macintosh fits the bill.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44No. Bad luck, Keith.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47An incorrect answer, scores you the maximum of 100 points,
0:25:47 > 0:25:51takes your total up to 120. Couldn't matter less. You are through already.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54I wonder if anyone can work out statistically how long we'd have to stay here
0:25:54 > 0:25:57just naming random English surnames until we got the right one.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00It's actually Charles... Do you know this one? Ryder.
0:26:00 > 0:26:05Charles Ryder, yeah. Would've scored you two points, so worth going for for both teams.
0:26:05 > 0:26:10Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy? Prefect. Ford Prefect, yes.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12Would've scored 22. Albus...
0:26:12 > 0:26:17Dumbledore. Dumbledore, yep. That would've scored 28.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20Surprisingly low score. Do you know Beth?
0:26:20 > 0:26:23Erm...
0:26:23 > 0:26:27It's Beth March. Beth March. That would've scored you seven points.
0:26:27 > 0:26:32And the top one, it's Milo Minderbinder.
0:26:32 > 0:26:36That's a pointless answer, if you said it, so very well done.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39Thanks. So, at the end of our second round,
0:26:39 > 0:26:42I'm afraid, Alex and Sophie, this is where we have to say goodbye,
0:26:42 > 0:26:44but you've played so well. Head-to-head last time.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47And this time, very creditable show in the first round.
0:26:47 > 0:26:53I'm afraid it was this second round, though, where you met your 200 club membership.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56But it's been great having you. Thank you so much for playing. Alex and Sophie.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00APPLAUSE
0:27:00 > 0:27:04But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head. APPLAUSE
0:27:07 > 0:27:11Well, congratulations, Naomi and Will, Dayle and Keith,
0:27:11 > 0:27:16you are now one step closer to the final and a chance to play for our jackpot, which stands at £2,000.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18APPLAUSE
0:27:18 > 0:27:23Now, to decide which pair's going to play for that money, you're now going to go head-to-head.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25But the big difference is, you are now allowed to confer.
0:27:25 > 0:27:29The first pair to win two questions will be playing for the jackpot.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34APPLAUSE
0:27:37 > 0:27:41OK, here comes your first question, and it concerns... The Beatles.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44The Beatles, Richard. I'm going to give you five clues
0:27:44 > 0:27:48to facts about The Beatles. Can you give us the most obscure answer?
0:27:48 > 0:27:51OK, let's reveal our five clues. And here they are.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10I'll read those all one final time.
0:28:24 > 0:28:29Now then, Naomi and Will, you've played best throughout the show so far so you get to go first.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33THEY WHISPER
0:28:36 > 0:28:39We're going to risk and we're going to say,
0:28:39 > 0:28:42for the first single in '62,
0:28:42 > 0:28:44it's a bit of a guess, but Please Please Me.
0:28:44 > 0:28:48Please Please Me, say Will and Naomi, for the first single.
0:28:48 > 0:28:52Now, Dayle and Keith, the rest of the board is yours.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55I think the musician who bought the Beatles catalogue
0:28:55 > 0:28:57would be Michael Jackson. Title of the song
0:28:57 > 0:29:01that was originally called Scrambled Eggs, I think was Yesterday.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03Hey Jude was Julian.
0:29:05 > 0:29:09Which one will we go for? THEY WHISPER
0:29:09 > 0:29:14We're going to go for the title of the song that was originally called Scrambled Eggs, Yesterday.
0:29:14 > 0:29:17Yesterday, say Dayle and Keith. Yesterday.
0:29:17 > 0:29:21Now, Naomi and Will have said Please Please Me, the first single released in October 1962.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said it.
0:29:27 > 0:29:30Bad luck. I'm afraid an incorrect answer, which means, Dayle and Keith,
0:29:30 > 0:29:34you merely have to be correct with Yesterday, and if you are, you will win the point.
0:29:34 > 0:29:38Let's see if it's right. Let's also see how many people said it.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42Absolutely right.
0:29:45 > 0:29:47Look at that! Very good score indeed!
0:29:47 > 0:29:51Five! APPLAUSE
0:29:51 > 0:29:56Five for Yesterday. Which means, after one question, Dayle and Keith, you are up one-nil.
0:29:56 > 0:30:00Well played, Dayle. Radio 2 voted it the greatest song of the 20th century.
0:30:00 > 0:30:04And Rolling Stone and MTV voted it the greatest pop song of all time.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07You know that Scrambled Eggs thing? I just don't know if I believe that.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09To me, it sounds like a bit of McCartney modesty.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12"Yeah, yeah, just say scrambled eggs."
0:30:12 > 0:30:16They say, "Scrambled eggs, oh, my baby, how I love your legs," were the original lyrics to it.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18Right. OK.
0:30:18 > 0:30:23And who are we? Who are we? Exactly right.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26Now, the first single, it wasn't Please Please Me. That was their second single.
0:30:26 > 0:30:31It was also the name of their first album. It was Love Me Do. Ah, yeah. 17 points for that.
0:30:31 > 0:30:36The producer who signed the band to EMI? George Martin. Famous lifetime producer. Yeah, George Martin.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39Would've scored nine. Dayle was right about Hey Jude.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42It was written about Julian Lennon. That would've scored 51.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45You're right about Michael Jackson, as well, Dayle.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47Well done. That would've scored you 40 points.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49Well done if you got all five of those.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52Thanks very much indeed. So, here comes your second question.
0:30:52 > 0:30:56Will and Naomi, you have to win this one to stay in the game. It concerns...
0:30:59 > 0:31:01Famous people born in the UK. Richard.
0:31:01 > 0:31:05I'm going to show you five anagrams of famous people born throughout history in the UK.
0:31:05 > 0:31:08Can you unscramble them and give us the best answer?
0:31:08 > 0:31:12OK, let's reveal our five anagrams, and here they are.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26I'll read those all one last time.
0:31:38 > 0:31:43There we are. Now, Dayle and Keith, you will go first this time. THEY WHISPER
0:31:55 > 0:31:59We'll go Battier Export, Beatrix Potter.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02Battier Export, Beatrix Potter.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04Now then, Naomi and Will.
0:32:04 > 0:32:08The board is all yours. Talk us through it. Hm.
0:32:08 > 0:32:12It won't be a very long chat, I'm afraid. We're a bit...
0:32:12 > 0:32:15I think the bottom one is fairly high, William Shakespeare.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17We're going to discount that one. Yeah.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20The one above, naturalist, I think we might go with that one.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23I think we're going to go with Charles Darwin.
0:32:23 > 0:32:26It's safe and probably too high, but we'll give it a shot.
0:32:26 > 0:32:30OK, Charles Darwin. So we have Beatrix Potter versus Charles Darwin.
0:32:30 > 0:32:34Dayle and Keith said Beatrix Potter. Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38It's right.
0:32:43 > 0:32:45Wow! Look at that! Four! Very well done indeed.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48Four for Beatrix Potter. APPLAUSE
0:32:48 > 0:32:53Naomi and Will have gone for Charles Darwin. Let's see if that's right and how many people said that.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55You want to be winning this one to stay in the game, remember.
0:32:57 > 0:32:59It's right.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03It's got to get down to four. Is it going to make it down there?
0:33:03 > 0:33:05It's going to be...
0:33:05 > 0:33:0813. APPLAUSE
0:33:08 > 0:33:1213 for Charles Darwin. Which means, Dayle and Keith, after only two questions,
0:33:12 > 0:33:15you are straight through to the final two-nil. Well done.
0:33:15 > 0:33:20Yeah, well played. Scrambled eggs and a scrambled children's author seeing you through to the final.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23The scores actually go all the way up the board, so we'll start at the bottom.
0:33:23 > 0:33:28You're right, I Am A Weakish Speller was William Shakespeare.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30Would've scored 30.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32Have you got Now Ace Saint?
0:33:32 > 0:33:36Isaac Newton. It is Isaac Newton, yeah. Isaac Newton would've scored seven.
0:33:36 > 0:33:40And the only answer that could've beaten Beatrix Potter, it's up the top there, presenter,
0:33:40 > 0:33:42an anagram of Bushy Crofter. You all know him.
0:33:42 > 0:33:45Yeah. It's Bruce Forsyth.
0:33:46 > 0:33:50Bruce Forsyth would've scored you two points. So very well done if you got that at home.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53They're hard. When you get them, you just feel so pleased with yourself.
0:33:53 > 0:33:58Thanks very much, Richard. So, at the end of our head-to-head round,
0:33:58 > 0:34:01the pair we're saying goodbye to, I'm afraid it's Naomi and Will.
0:34:01 > 0:34:06Not bad. Please Please Me, you were only out by one single there. That was their second.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09It felt good to be near. Yeah. And Charles Darwin, a cracking answer, too.
0:34:09 > 0:34:14But you were up against Dayle and Keith who were almost the lowest scorers possible in each question.
0:34:14 > 0:34:19Four and five there. So, yes, you just came up against this machine.
0:34:19 > 0:34:23But the good news for us is we get to see you again next time, Naomi and Will. We look forward to that.
0:34:23 > 0:34:27Meantime, thanks very much for playing. Naomi and Will. APPLAUSE
0:34:27 > 0:34:30But for Dayle and Keith, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33APPLAUSE
0:34:35 > 0:34:38Congratulations, Dayle and Keith, you've seen off all the competition
0:34:38 > 0:34:41and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy. Well done.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot,
0:34:50 > 0:34:53and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £2,000.
0:34:53 > 0:34:56APPLAUSE
0:34:56 > 0:34:59Well, I have to say, I'm not surprised to see you here.
0:34:59 > 0:35:01I think your course was set from the first round.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04Wonderful, wonderful low scores with the flags there.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07You've done so well today, really, really well.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09What would you like to see to crown the day off?
0:35:09 > 0:35:12What would be the best possible category for you in this round?
0:35:12 > 0:35:15Erm, pop music, geography.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18Football. Football. Football.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21For both of us, probably music or geography.
0:35:21 > 0:35:23Geography would be the better option for us. OK.
0:35:23 > 0:35:28Well, best of luck. As always, you kick this round off by choosing a category, and here are your options.
0:35:35 > 0:35:40Football? If it's winners, we can probably do something there.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45Fashion, do we look like we have a clue?
0:35:45 > 0:35:49France. No. Driven through it, don't want to go back.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52DAYLE LAUGHS Erm...
0:35:52 > 0:35:54Easy listening music...
0:35:54 > 0:35:58Easy listening? Do you want to go football? Yeah. OK.
0:35:58 > 0:36:03We'll go with the Super Bowl. Super Bowl. OK. The Super Bowl it is. Richard.
0:36:03 > 0:36:07Yep. We're looking for any answer in any of these three categories.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10If you know about the Super Bowl, it's a good round.
0:36:10 > 0:36:13We're looking for any team that has ever taken part in a Super Bowl final.
0:36:13 > 0:36:17We're looking for any player who has ever won the MVP in the Super Bowl.
0:36:17 > 0:36:20And we are looking for any towns and cities
0:36:20 > 0:36:22that have hosted a Super Bowl final.
0:36:22 > 0:36:25So any teams that have ever played in the final, any MVPs,
0:36:25 > 0:36:28or any towns and cities that have ever hosted a Super Bowl.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31Best of luck at home and very, very best of luck in the studio.
0:36:31 > 0:36:36Good luck, guys. OK. Now, as always, you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:36:36 > 0:36:39And to win that jackpot of £2,000, just one of those answers needs to be pointless.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42The answers you give can be from any of these three categories.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44It's up to you which categories they're from.
0:36:44 > 0:36:49It can be three from one category, two from one, one from another, it's entirely up to you.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52Are you ready? Yeah. Yes. Let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55There they are. Your time starts now.
0:36:55 > 0:36:58Towns and cities, you could pick any city in America.
0:36:58 > 0:37:02THEY WHISPER
0:37:03 > 0:37:05I know teams that have been in the Super Bowl.
0:37:05 > 0:37:09You can go through the likes of the Green Bay Packers, Washington Redskins.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11THEY WHISPER
0:37:11 > 0:37:14Dolphins probably too obvious. Dallas Cowboys.
0:37:14 > 0:37:18New England Patriots. Pittsburgh Steelers.
0:37:22 > 0:37:24Joe Montana.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29Teams in the Super Bowl final. Right.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31Pittsburgh Steelers. Yeah.
0:37:33 > 0:37:35Sure it's the Dallas Cowboys? Mm.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41We've got 16 seconds. Er...
0:37:43 > 0:37:46Ten seconds left.
0:37:49 > 0:37:51Chicago Bears.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58OK, that's your time up. I now need your three answers. What are you going to say?
0:37:58 > 0:38:02Er, we've got Pittsburgh Steelers. The Pittsburgh Steelers.
0:38:02 > 0:38:04And will you say which category they are?
0:38:04 > 0:38:08We're going for the teams in the final. Teams in the Super Bowl final. Pittsburgh Steelers.
0:38:08 > 0:38:11Dallas Cowboys. Dallas Cowboys.
0:38:11 > 0:38:15And I think they are called the Chicago Bears.
0:38:15 > 0:38:19And the Chicago Bears. Of those three, which do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:19 > 0:38:22If it's correct, Chicago Bears.
0:38:22 > 0:38:26Chicago Bears we'll put last. Least likely?
0:38:26 > 0:38:28Pittsburgh Steelers. Pittsburgh Steelers we'll put first.
0:38:28 > 0:38:32We'll put those up on the board in that order. And here they are. We have got...
0:38:37 > 0:38:41Well, very, very, very best of luck. Your first answer was the Pittsburgh Steelers.
0:38:41 > 0:38:45Now, if this is correct and it is pointless, it will win you £2,000.
0:38:45 > 0:38:47What would you do with that, Dayle?
0:38:47 > 0:38:51I would probably disappear somewhere and lay on the beach
0:38:51 > 0:38:54and decide what to do with the rest of it while I was there.
0:38:54 > 0:38:59Good answer. Keith? Er, well, I'd like to go see my cousin in Canada,
0:38:59 > 0:39:03which I've never met. It could go towards that, which would be cool.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06Very good. Well, very best of luck to you. Three good answers on the board.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09Let's hope at least one of those is pointless.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12As I say, if this is pointless, your first answer, the Pittsburgh Steelers,
0:39:12 > 0:39:15it wins you the jackpot. So for £2,000,
0:39:15 > 0:39:19have the Pittsburgh Steelers ever been in a Super Bowl final?
0:39:22 > 0:39:26It's right. Now, down it goes through the 50s.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28Through the 40s. If this goes all the way down to zero,
0:39:28 > 0:39:33you leave here with £2,000. Into single figures. Still going down.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36Oh, look at that! One! APPLAUSE
0:39:36 > 0:39:38One!
0:39:41 > 0:39:44That's a fantastic answer. Very, very well done indeed.
0:39:44 > 0:39:47Lovely low score there. Sadly not pointless.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50So only two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53Your second answer was the Dallas Cowboys.
0:39:53 > 0:39:56Obviously it has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot.
0:39:56 > 0:40:01So for £2,000, let's find out, have the Dallas Cowboys ever been Super Bowl finalists?
0:40:04 > 0:40:06Again, it's correct.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09Your first answer, the Pittsburgh Steelers, took you all the way down to one.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11Your second answer, the Dallas Cowboys,
0:40:11 > 0:40:14now taking you down through the teens, into single figures.
0:40:14 > 0:40:17Seven. APPLAUSE
0:40:20 > 0:40:26OK, now everything is riding on your third and final answer, the Chicago Bears.
0:40:26 > 0:40:30This was the one you thought was your best shot at a pointless answer.
0:40:30 > 0:40:33Let's find out. If it's right and it's pointless, it wins you that jackpot.
0:40:33 > 0:40:39So for £2,000, have the Chicago Bears ever played in a Super Bowl final?
0:40:42 > 0:40:45Again, it's right. Your first answer, the Pittsburgh Steelers,
0:40:45 > 0:40:47took us all the way down to one.
0:40:47 > 0:40:50The Dallas Cowboys took us down to seven.
0:40:50 > 0:40:52Here come the Chicago Bears, taking us down to...
0:40:52 > 0:40:55Oh, no, nine! APPLAUSE
0:40:58 > 0:41:01Oh, bad luck. Well, I tell you what, three brilliant answers there.
0:41:01 > 0:41:04Three fantastic low scores.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06You'd be very pleased with that at any stage of the game.
0:41:06 > 0:41:10Sadly though, in this round, it's only pointless answers we're interested in.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13Unfortunately, you didn't manage to find that vital pointless answer
0:41:13 > 0:41:16which means you don't win today's jackpot of £2,000.
0:41:16 > 0:41:20That rolls onto the next show. But we have really enjoyed having you in the studio.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22It's been brilliant having you and such a good performance.
0:41:22 > 0:41:26And you do, of course, get to take home a Pointless trophy each, so very well done.
0:41:26 > 0:41:30APPLAUSE
0:41:31 > 0:41:34I thought you were going to win it there, guys.
0:41:34 > 0:41:39If you know about the Super Bowl, I'm going to read out some names, you'll recognise most of them, I'm afraid.
0:41:39 > 0:41:44Let's take a look at the pointless answers for teams who've played in a Super Bowl final.
0:41:44 > 0:41:46The Atlanta Falcons would've been a pointless answer,
0:41:46 > 0:41:49the Denver Broncos won it a couple of times,
0:41:49 > 0:41:51the Kansas City Chiefs, the Oakland Raiders. You could also have had
0:41:51 > 0:41:55the Baltimore Colts, the Buffalo Bills, the Carolina Panthers,
0:41:55 > 0:41:58you could've had the Cincinnati Bengals or the Indianapolis Colts.
0:41:58 > 0:42:01You could've had the LA Rams, the Minnesota Vikings,
0:42:01 > 0:42:04you could've had the Philadelphia Eagles and the San Diego Chargers,
0:42:04 > 0:42:08the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Tennessee Titans. All pointless. Well done if you said those.
0:42:08 > 0:42:11Let's take a look at some of those Most Valuable Players.
0:42:11 > 0:42:13Aaron Rodgers, who played for the Packers.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16The very first MVP, Bart Starr, also for the Packers.
0:42:16 > 0:42:18Joe Namath, who played for the New York Jets.
0:42:18 > 0:42:22And Troy Aikman of the Dallas Cowboys, funnily enough, he was MVP.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25You could also have had Emmitt Smith, Terry Bradshaw, he was pointless.
0:42:25 > 0:42:30Well done if you said those. Let's take a look at some of the towns and cities that hosted the Super Bowl.
0:42:33 > 0:42:38You could've also had Arlington, Glendale and Pontiac, as well. All of those pointless answers.
0:42:38 > 0:42:43I'm sure some of those, especially the teams, would've rung a bell with you.
0:42:43 > 0:42:46Well, unfortunately, we do have to say goodbye to you, Dayle and Keith,
0:42:46 > 0:42:50but we have really enjoyed having you on the show. Thank you for playing and playing so well.
0:42:50 > 0:42:54Thank you. Thank you. APPLAUSE
0:42:54 > 0:42:57Well, Dayle and Keith didn't win our jackpot today,
0:42:57 > 0:43:01so it rolls over, which means on the next show we will be playing for £3,000.
0:43:01 > 0:43:03APPLAUSE
0:43:03 > 0:43:06Join us next time. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.
0:43:06 > 0:43:09Goodbye. And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
0:43:09 > 0:43:11APPLAUSE
