Episode 54 Pointless

AUDIENCE APPLAUSE

ALEXANDER ARMSTRONG: Thank you very much.

Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong. Welcome to Pointless, the quiz show

where we are always striving to find the most obscure answers.

Let's meet the players.

-Couple number one.

-I'm Mags. This is my friend Ann-Marie.

-We're from Nottinghamshire. Yay!

-HE LAUGHS

Couple number two.

Hello. I'm Ed. I'm from Shropshire. This is Jack and he's from Surrey.

Hey! Couple number three.

Hello, I'm Bill. This is Dave.

We're from Hartley in Kent and we're best friends.

ONE AUDIENCE MEMBER CLAPPING Three claps.

-And finally, our fourth couple.

-Hi, I'm Kevan.

This is my daughter, Lauren. We're from Chessington in Surrey.

These are our contestants.

Thanks, all of you. We'll find out more about you in the show.

That leaves one person for me to introduce.

He doesn't just look after our Pointless lists, he also keeps

a list of the people who've wronged him too, and it's very short.

-His vengeance is swift. It's my Pointless friend, Richard.

-Hiya.

-Hi, everybody. Afternoon. Good afternoon to you.

-And to you.

-I'm worried that Dave and Bill might be a bit shy.

-A little bit, yes.

Wonder if we can bring them out of themselves a bit somehow.

Fair play to Mags for trying to get a round of applause there.

-Yeah, that was good.

-Absolutely gave that her best.

-Usually that works, I have to say.

-Hartley in Kent got three claps.

That was good. There we go - and again!

-Yeah, but they come from Hartley in Kent.

-Oh, I see.

It's all about the material, isn't it?

Jack and Ed's come back from the last show. Did very well last time.

-They were very good.

-All the way to the head-to-head.

They'll be tough to beat for our new pairs today

so keep an eye out for them.

-Proper old school round one of Pointless today.

-Yeah.

Thanks, Richard. All our questions on Pointless

have been put to 100 people before the show.

Our contestants must find the obscure answers those 100 people didn't get.

Everyone's trying to find a pointless answer,

an answer that none of our 100 people gave,

and each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.

Emma and Andrew didn't win the jackpot last time,

so we add another £1,000 to that.

Today's jackpot starts off at £3,000.

If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.

OK. In this first round, I want an answer from each of you,

but there is of course to be no conferring.

At the end of the round, the pair with the highest score goes home,

so do what you can to make sure that's not you.

Our first category today.

Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first,

who's going to go second?

And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

We gave 100 people 100 seconds

to name as many B-A-D countries as they could.

We're looking for any country in the world whose usual short form name

begins with the letters B, A or D, please.

By country, we mean a sovereign state that's a member of the UN in its own right.

Very best of luck.

Thank you very much indeed.

Mags and Ann-Marie, you drew lots before the show

and today you are going to go first. Welcome to Pointless.

-Great to have you here.

-Thank you.

-What do you do, Ann-Marie?

-I work at a school as an inclusion support assistant.

-What's that?

-Bit like a teaching assistant.

-Right.

Making sure that everybody's included in education at the school,

so whatever special needs they might have,

-making sure they're catered for.

-OK. Good.

What do you do in your spare time, Ann-Marie?

-Sing and act.

-Good. So what sort of singing do you do?

-I do a variety.

I can sing operatically and I also sing musical theatre

-and folk songs as well.

-OK.

Richard may be testing you on your arpeggios later,

but for now, what about these B-A-D countries?

-So it's got to start with a B, an A or a D? Not all three?

-Yeah.

-How would that work?

-I don't know.

-Some countries end in 'bad', don't they?

-No.

-No, I'm thinking of a city.

-Some cities do, yes.

-We can cut this bit out.

-That's what I normally say.

I'm going to go for...

Angora.

Let's see if Angora is right,

and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.

Oh. Bad luck, Ann-Marie. I'm sorry. That's an incorrect answer.

Scores you the maximum of 100 points.

Sorry, Ann-Marie. A lovely goat and lovely wool but not a country.

Used to be the name of Ankara, the capital of Turkey,

which is where we get the goat and the wool from.

Now, then. Jack, welcome back to Pointless.

That was a fantastic performance

right up to the head-to-head last time.

We just didn't have the knowledge

when it came to female pop stars or John Major.

Extraordinary gaps in your knowledge there.

Anyway, on the strength of what you did in the first two rounds,

we have to expect great things today.

Jack, remind us what you do.

I'm a marketing manager at a bank.

In your spare time, what do you get up to, Jack?

I like a bit of sport,

mainly rowing and sometimes a bit of running as well.

OK. What about travel?

I've been to a few places,

unfortunately nothing beginning with B, A or D.

You've never been to anywhere that begins...? I see what you mean, OK.

Not that I want to answer. But I'm going to go with B.

-I'm going to go with Burkina Faso.

-Let's see if that's right.

Burkina Faso. Is it right? How many people said it.

It is right.

Ooh, down he goes. Look at that. Fantastic.

Five for Burkina Faso.

Well played, Jack. In West Africa, Burkina Faso.

It's got one of my favourite capital cities which is Ouagadougou.

But do you know what Ouagadougou means?

-I've seen you do it.

-It means "you are welcome here at home with us".

-AUDIENCE:

-Aww.

-Isn't that nice?

-Aww.

-That is nice.

-'Tis, though, isn't it?

-Yeah.

-Might get that put on a little mat by the door.

-A welcome mat.

-Yeah, that is nice.

-Anyway, Ouagadougou, everybody.

-Yeah. Ouagadougou.

-You are welcome here at home with us.

-You are, actually, yeah.

-Actually, at home, less so.

-You're welcome in the studio. Come along.

-In the Pointless home.

At home, make sure you call beforehand. Have a little tidy up.

-Thanks very much indeed. Now, Bill. Welcome to the show.

-Thank you.

HE SIGHS Shame you're not a bit dressier, that's all I'm thinking.

That's a great shirt, Bill. What's its story?

Um, as you're about to find out, one of my passions is travelling the

world fly-fishing, and everywhere I go I try to buy a local shirt.

You're not going to catch much wearing that, though, are you?

You fish for salmon, trout? What do you fish for? Bonefish?

-Bonefish and tarpon and permit. Things like that.

-Wow.

Very exciting. What's the most exciting fish you've landed?

The most exciting fish I've landed, I think was a 250-pound lemon shark.

-Wow. A lemon shark?

-Yes.

-The most delicious of all the sharks.

-Yeah.

OK. Now, then. Bill. Countries beginning with B, A or D.

You ought, through your fly-fishing and shirt-purchasing travels,

-to have a good answer.

-Yeah. I think it's stood me in good stead.

I'm going to go with Antigua and Barbuda,

-which is one of the places...

-That does begin with two of them.

Antigua and Barbuda says Bill. Let's see if that's right,

and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.

It's right.

Four! This is a very good, low-scoring round.

Well played, Bill. It must be a lovely place to go fishing,

-Antigua and Barbuda.

-Didn't catch much.

The highest point on Antigua and Barbuda is called Boggy Peak

but they just renamed it Mount Obama.

-That's good.

-That's proper rebranding.

-That is rebranding.

Yeah. Lauren, welcome to Pointless. What do you do?

I'm a student at the University of Essex.

-What are you studying?

-American Studies.

-American Studies.

-Yeah.

-Did you know about Mount Obama?

-No, I did not.

-That was not on the syllabus.

-Massive gap in the syllabus there.

What are you going to go for? Countries beginning with B, A or D.

Geography I'm not great at, apart from America,

so going to try the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Democratic Republic of Congo. Let's see if that's right.

If it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said

Democratic Republic of Congo.

It's right.

Four!

KEVAN: That was great.

-Four points for Democratic Republic of Congo.

-Very good answer.

-The capital of the DRC is Kinshasa.

-Thanks, Richard.

Let's see what those scores are. We're halfway through the round.

The lowest score being four,

shared by Lauren and Kevan and Bill and Dave.

Up to five where we find Jack and Ed, then Ann-Marie, I'm sorry, up at 100.

So Mags, we need a very low score from you.

We hope that that's going to be enough to keep you in the game.

It may be. There may be another 100 score.

Best of luck. We're going to come back down the line now.

Can the second players step up to the podium?

We're looking for countries beginning with B, A or D. Kevan, welcome.

-What do you do, Kevan?

-I'm a technical analyst.

I work in an IT department for a whisky company.

That's a fun IT department to work in, isn't it?

It's a fun IT department.

-That job got more and more exciting as the title went on.

-Yeah.

What did you used to do, Kevan?

I used to be a professional footballer for a couple of years.

-Who did you play for?

-I played for Queen of the South in Scotland.

-When did you play for them?

-That was back in the '70s.

Just before football went stratospheric.

-Yeah, you could make a living instead of just beer money.

-Yeah.

You used to go home on the bus.

-If there was a bus there, yeah, absolutely.

-All right.

OK, Kevan. There you are on four.

The high scorers are Mags and Ann-Marie on 100,

so 95 or less keeps you in the game.

We're looking for any country beginning with B, A or D.

I'm kind of spoiled for choice, I think, slightly,

but I'm going to go for Djibouti.

Djibouti, says Kevan.

That's a good answer. Djibouti. There is your red line.

Get below that and you are through to the next round.

Well done, and you're through.

Our lowest scores so far is Lauren's and Bill's of four. Djibouti.

Six!

Your total is ten, sees you comfortably into round two.

-Well done, Kevan.

-Well played, Kevan. Great answer.

Djibouti has the lowest point in Africa.

-A crater lake called Lake Assal. It's 150m below sea level.

-Wow.

-That is quite a fact, isn't it?

-Isn't it?

-It's lovely this time of year.

-Oh, I bet it is.

-Very low, though.

-Very low.

-You have to climb down a ladder to get to it.

-Fair enough.

Now, Dave, welcome to Pointless.

-Did you and Bill discuss your costumes for the day?

-No.

-I swear we didn't.

-Come on. Really?

-No, honestly, we didn't.

When he opened the magic bag this morning, that was in there.

When I opened mine, this was in there.

-True.

-There you are on four points, Dave.

-Yeah.

A good answer from Bill in round one.

if you can score 95 or less, you're through to the next round.

What are you thinking?

-Belize.

-Belize, says Dave. Here's your red line.

Exactly the same as Kevan's.

If you get below that, you're through to the next round.

Very well done.

So again, four remains our low score.

Belize stops at ten, takes your total up to 14.

Ed. Welcome back to the show.

How's your travel? Or your geography, I should say.

I've been to quite a few places, mainly in Europe.

I've been outside a couple of times, but I've got

an interest in international football, so I know obscure places.

But ironically, Kevan took my answer for the risky ones.

So I'm just going to have to play it safe with Barbados, I think.

You're going with Barbados. Mags and Ann-Marie are high-scorers on 100.

You're on five, so 94 or less keeps you in the game.

Is Barbados right and if it is, let's see how many people said it.

It's right! And you're through to the next round.

11 for Barbados.

Takes your total up to 16.

Yes, a quarter the size of London, Barbados.

When it was first settled, it was almost entirely forest.

Very large wild pig population.

And as we've recently discovered means "the bearded ones".

It means "the bearded ones".

Why would you call an island "the bearded ones"?

-Cos of the wild pigs. It must have been really wild.

-It must have been.

-Yeah.

-Wow. Thank you very much indeed.

-Mags, you are the high-scorers. I'm so sorry.

-Yeah. Don't worry.

-Oh, I'm sorry. Mags, what do you do?

-I'm a retired teacher.

-And what did you teach?

-I taught science.

-Happily retired?

-Oh, yes, yes. Too busy to do anything else.

-Good.

-Teachers always

say, when they say "happily retired?", "Yeah. Oh, yeah."

-Oh, boy, yeah.

-Oh, boy, yes.

-What do you fill your time with, Mags?

Amateur dramatics, singing, walking,

-ladies who lunch, shopping. Lots of...

-Perfect.

-The perfect retirement.

-Yes.

-OK. So we're looking for B-A-D countries.

I have a feeling you're gonna have a good answer.

Well, we've nothing to lose, so I'm going to say Bhutan.

Bhutan, says Mags. Oh, that's perked everyone up. Look at that.

Proper respect from the other six contestants.

-the other seven, including Ann-Marie.

-Absolutely.

-Bhutan.

Maybe this will be a pointless answer.

That can be your bequest, your leaving gift.

Is Bhutan right, and if it is, how many people said it?

No red line for you as you are the high scorers.

Look at that. Correct answer.

As I say, our lowest score so far has been four. Bhutan passes...

Oh, no, it doesn't. It lands on that. It equals that. 104, your total.

That's a great answer, though, Mags.

Terrific end to the round, Mags.

It has the highest unclimbed peak in the world. The government won't let

mountaineers climb anything over 6,000m.

-Health and safety.

-Yeah, for health and safety reasons.

Health and sacred.

For health and sacred reasons, you're not allowed to climb.

There's no pointless answers at all here.

There's a couple which would have scored you one point

and they are Brunei and Burundi.

Four points is the next best score, Mags,

so that's very well done. Bhutan would have scored you four.

Antigua and Barbuda, obviously, also had four.

Bahrain and the DRC, so a very good play by our teams there,

getting four pointers. Five points for Burkina Faso.

Benin would have scored five. Dominica would have scored six.

There's only five countries in the world beginning with D.

Djibouti we've already had, Democratic Republic of Congo,

-Dominica, Dominican Republic.

-And Denmark.

-Denmark, yeah.

Let's look at the biggest answers that most of our 100 people said.

We'll see Denmark there.

Ann-Marie, I think you knew your mistake as soon as you said Angora.

-I think you were thinking of Andorra.

-I did.

It would have scored you 16 points.

So it still would have seen you knocked out.

But I think immediately when you said it you knew what you'd done.

-I did.

-I'm afraid to say at the end of our first round,

heading home with the high score of 104 is Mags and Ann-Marie.

I'm sorry we have to say goodbye, but we will see you again next time.

-Looking forward to that very much.

-She might not bring me.

-Oh, she'll have to.

-I will.

-Thanks for playing, Mags and Ann-Marie. Lovely contestants.

For the remaining three pairs, it's time for round two.

Three pairs remain.

At the end of round two, we have to say goodbye to another pair.

I wouldn't like to guess which pair that's going to be. Very well played.

Great answers from all of you.

The returning pair, Jack and Ed, still looking strong.

Some cracking answers from Dave and Bill.

Kevan and Lauren, our lowest scorers.

Djibouti, particularly strong answer there.

I think this is going to be very close indeed. Best of luck.

Our round two category is:

Can you decide in your pairs who will go first, who will go second.

Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

And the question concerns:

-Richard.

-On each pass, we'll show you the name of six strikers.

Tell us the team they were playing for

at the beginning of the 2012/13 season, please.

Very best of luck. There will be 12 in all to have a go at home.

We're looking for the football clubs these strikers were playing for

at the start of the 2012/13 season.

Here's our first board of six.

I'll read those again one last time.

There we are. Now, Ed, this is perfect, isn't it?

-Yeah.

-You get first pick of the board. You can find the lowest

scoring answer there and claim it for your own.

I think I know most of them but I'm going to go for Danny Graham was

playing for Swansea at the start of the year.

Danny Graham, Swansea, says Ed.

Let's see if that's right,

and if it is, let's see how many people said Swansea.

Absolutely right.

Good answer, Ed. Eight for Swansea.

Well played, Ed.

He transferred to Sunderland halfway through the season, Danny Graham.

Contrived not to score another goal after doing so.

-Thanks very much. Bill, how's this for you?

-Very poor.

-Oh, really?

-Oh, no.

-I'm going to say Fernando Torres and Liverpool.

Torres, Liverpool, says Bill. Let's see if that's right.

How many people said Liverpool?

Ooh. Ooh bad luck, Bill. I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer.

-Scores you the maximum of 100 points.

-Yeah, sorry Bill.

Talking of people who've contrived to score no goals,

Fernando Torres hasn't played for Liverpool for some time.

-Thanks very much. Lauren, that takes some of the pressure off.

-Definitely.

What are you going to go for? Do you want to take us through the board?

-No. No, thank you.

-Peter Odemwingie?

-Never heard of...

I've heard of two of... three of them.

I just hope Wayne Rooney's still playing for the same team

-he was ages ago.

-What are you going to say?

-Manchester United.

-OK.

Not too ages ago. Manchester United, says Lauren.

Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said that?

It is right.

79.

It's a whole lot better than 100, Lauren.

Quite often in these rounds it is about damage limitation if it's

a bad subject for you, and that's exactly what you've done there.

Well done. Filling in the rest of the board, Fernando Torres used to

be at Liverpool, then went to Chelsea.

-Of course.

-That would have scored 34 points.

Jermain Defoe plays for Spurs. 31 points.

At the start of the 2012/13 season,

Peter Odemwingie played for West Brom. Would have scored you 16.

Kevan, you're a former professional footballer.

-Do you know Jamie Murphy?

-No idea who Jamie Murphy is.

-Plays for Motherwell.

-Oh, my God!

-That's a pointless answer.

-HE LAUGHS

Thanks very much, Richard. So we're halfway through the round.

Looking at the scores. Eight the best score of that pass.

Very well done, Ed. Doing exactly what you needed to do there.

Then up to 79 where we find Lauren and Kevan and then up to 100,

Bill and Dave. Dave, is your football knowledge better than Bill's?

-A little bit better, yeah.

-OK. Good luck. You're not too far ahead.

You're only 21 ahead of Lauren and Kevan, but Kevan being

an ex-professional and all might give him the advantage there.

Best of luck. We'll come back down the line now.

Can the second players please step up to the podium?

OK. We'll put six more footballers up on the board and here they come.

We have:

I'll read those one last time.

Remember, we are looking for the football club these strikers

played for at the start of the 2012/13 season.

Kevan, find the one you think the fewest of our 100 people knew.

Having been embarrassed by the last answer,

I'm going to go for Georgios Samaras, Glasgow Celtic.

You say Celtic for Samaras. OK. The high scores are Dave and Bill on 100.

You're on 79. Get below that red line,

you are through to the next round.

Let's see if Celtic's right. How many people said Celtic?

It's right.

You are through to the next round. Very well done indeed. Seven.

Great answer. 86 your total.

Something told me you were going to go for that, Kevan.

-Yeah, signed from Man City in 2008, Samaras.

-Thanks very much, Richard.

Now, Dave, we want the football clubs these strikers

played for at the start of the 2012/13 season.

-I'll go Theo Walcott, Arsenal.

-Theo Walcott, Arsenal, says Dave.

No red line for you as you are the high scorers,

but let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said Arsenal?

It's right.

40.

40 for Arsenal takes your total to 140, Dave.

He scored 21 goals in 2012/13, including a hat-trick

when Arsenal beat Reading 7-5 in the League Cup.

Thanks very much, Richard.

Jack, great news. Once again you are in the head-to-head.

Jack, could you talk us through the board?

I think Luis Suarez plays for Liverpool, but as for the other

three, I might as well guess and say Scott Robinson, Southampton.

You're saying Southampton for Scott Robinson.

Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said Southampton?

No, not Southampton, but worth a punt.

That scores you a maximum 100 points, taking your total up to 108.

Worth the punt. Scott Robinson actually was the youngest player

ever in the Scottish Premier League.

-Kevan, do you know who Scott Robinson plays for?

-No.

Hearts. He was injured for most of last season.

It was a pointless answer as well, like Jamie Murphy in the last round.

Well done if you said that.

Who were the rest of these playing for at the start of that season?

Papiss Cisse was Newcastle. Would have scored you 17.

Carlos Tevez was Man City. Would have scored 35.

And Luis Suarez, quite right, was Liverpool.

-That would have scored 32.

-Thanks very much.

So I'm afraid at the end of round two

it's Dave and Bill we have to say goodbye to with a high score of 140.

-Bill, I'm sorry. That didn't fall well for you at all.

-Nope.

We look forward to seeing you next time.

I can't wait to see what you're going to wear.

Meantime, thanks so much for being such excellent contestants

and thanks so much for playing, Dave and Bill.

But for the remaining two pairs, it's time for the head-to-head.

Congratulations, Kevan and Lauren, Jack and Ed.

You are a step closer to the final

and a chance to play for the jackpot which currently stands at:

We must decide who will play for that money.

You're now going to go head-to-head.

The difference is you're allowed to confer.

The first pair to win two questions will play for that jackpot.

Jack and Ed, you have been here before.

What do you make of your opponents this time?

-They look like good guys.

-Yeah, they do. They've been very low scoring.

-Better than the other night.

-Jack, I have to say,

-we need more banking or rowing questions, I think.

-That's true.

Ed has been doing the heavy spade work, shall we say.

I know exactly what's coming up.

It's going to be rowing, then banking, then rowing again.

That sounds like a dream head-to-head, doesn't it?

Best of luck to you. Let's play it.

Here comes your first question, and it concerns:

Sleep movies. Richard.

We'll show you five images from films which have "sleep"

somewhere in their title. Can you give us the most obscure answer?

Good luck.

Thanks very much. Let's reveal our five movies

with "sleep" in their titles and here they come. We have:

Five movies with "sleep" in their title.

Kevan and Lauren, you played best throughout the show,

so you will go first.

-SHE WHISPERS

-I have no idea.

BOTH WHISPER

I'm guessing and we think A is The Big Sleep.

You think A is The Big Sleep.

Jack and Ed, do you want to talk us through the rest of the board?

Pretty confident on C. You think is? We think it's Sleepers.

It's my brother's favourite film. B, Jack, what did you think it was?

One of them's got to be Sleepy Hollow.

I don't know which one.

And one of them's got to be Sleepless in Seattle.

-No idea about E.

-No.

-And I'm not too hot on my classic films.

-We're going to go for C. We're going for Sleepers.

-C, Sleepers.

So we have The Big Sleep versus Sleepers.

Kevan and Lauren, you've gone for The Big Sleep.

Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said it?

It is right.

26.

26. Jack and Ed, meanwhile, have said Sleepers for C.

Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said that?

It's right.

Oh! Very well done indeed!

Look at that. Nine for Sleepers.

Well done, Jack and Ed. After one question, you are up one-nil.

It's a very tough board, actually.

B is the French film The Science of Sleep directed by Michel Gondry.

Would have scored one point. Terrific answer if you got that.

D is Sleepless in Seattle. That would have scored 52.

And E is a Clive Owen movie. It's I'll Sleep When I'm Dead.

If you said that, you just got yourself a pointless answer.

Very well-played. Directed by Mike Hodges.

Thanks very much. Here comes your second question.

Kevan and Lauren, you have to win this to stay in the game.

Best of luck. It concerns:

Richard.

Five common names of flowers that commonly appear in Britain in spring

but we've removed alternate letters for the names.

Can you fill them in, please?

OK. Let's reveal our five flowers that bloom in spring. Here they are.

We have:

I'll read those again without the blanks.

There we are. Jack and Ed, you will go first this time.

THEY QUIETLY CONFER

-Going to be useless here.

-I've got no clue.

THEY WHISPER

We think we know four of them but we're unsure of the spelling on one,

-so we'll go for the second one down and say crocus.

-Crocus.

Crocus, say Jack and Ed.

Now, then, Kevan and Lauren, the board is all yours.

-Take us through it.

-The top one's primrose. Crocus, probably correct.

Tulip. Bluebell.

-Camellia?

-I think it's camellia.

-So we're going to go with camellia.

-Camellia, say Kevan and Lauren.

Camellia. You have to win this to stay in the game.

Jack and Ed said crocus.

Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said crocus?

42.

42 for crocus. Kevan and Lauren have gone for camellia.

Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said that?

Oh, it's right.

Oh, very well done! You've broken back.

Look at that. 26.

Which means after two questions it's one-all.

Well-played, Kevan and Lauren. We've heard the rest of the answers.

Looking at the scores, primrose would have scored 37.

Tulip would have scored 99 points. How about that?

And bluebell would have scored 63.

-It's a very high scorer, isn't it, for tulip?

-Very, yeah.

Thanks very much. Now here comes your third question.

This is the decider. Whoever wins this goes through to the final

to play for the jackpot. Best of luck. It concerns:

-Richard.

-Five clues now to facts about the city of Bristol.

Give us the most obscure answer, you'll play for the jackpot,

-so best of luck, both teams.

-Thanks very much.

Let's reveal our five clues, and here they come.

The BBC A&E drama filmed in Bristol before moving to Cardiff in 2011.

The ship that was built and now resides in the Dry Dock.

Month in which the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta is held.

The designer of the Clifton suspension bridge.

The street artist who directed the film Exit Through The Gift Shop.

I'll read those all to you one final time.

The BBC A&E drama filmed in Bristol before moving to Cardiff in 2011.

The ship that was built and now resides in the Dry Dock.

The month in which the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta is held.

The designer of the Clifton suspension bridge.

The street artist who directed the film Exit Through The Gift Shop.

There we are. Five clues about Bristol.

-Kevan and Lauren go first again this time.

-I've got no idea.

Lauren, it's over to you.

I've never been to Bristol

but the only one I know is the street artist and that's Banksy.

Banksy, say Kevan and Lauren.

Jack and Ed, fill in the board for us.

I think we know the BBC A&E drama where...

We think that might be Casualty.

Designer of the Clifton suspension bridge is...

-Isambard Kingdom Brunel, innit?

-Yep. The name of the ship...

I was in Bristol a few weeks ago and I saw this ship

and I can't remember the name of it.

THEY WHISPER

-I think everyone will get Isambard Kingdom Brunel.

-Yeah, they will.

I think our best bet is the top one.

Trying to think what the name of the ship is.

Um, we're going to have to go with Casualty, I think.

You're going to go with Casualty. Jack and Ed say Casualty.

We have Banksy versus Casualty. Kevan and Lauren say Banksy.

Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said it?

It's right.

24. 24 for Banksy. Jack and Ed have gone for Casualty.

Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said that?

It's right.

-Oh!

-50 for Casualty.

We have a clear winner. Kevan and Lauren, very well done.

After three questions you are through to the final, 2-1.

Well-played, Lauren. That's a very good answer.

Let's get to the ship last, shall we?

The Clifton suspension bridge's designer is Isambard Kingdom Brunel.

Actually a better answer than Casualty. Would have scored you 41.

The month in which the International Balloon Fiesta is currently held.

-If you had to guess?

-July?

-March.

-August.

-THEY LAUGH

Would have scored 12 points.

The name of the ship that would have scored nine points

and seen you through to the final

was the SS Great Britain.

-Nine points. That ring a bell?

-Yep.

-Thanks very much.

The pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round is Jack

and Ed, I'm afraid. Twice through to the head-to-head.

Two very solid performances on Pointless.

I'm sorry that you've never made it to the final,

but as I say, you leave with your heads held high.

It's been great having you. Thank you so much for playing, Jack and Ed.

But for Kevan and Lauren, it's time for our Pointless final.

Very well done. Kevan and Lauren, you fought off all the competition

and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.

You have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot

and at the end of the show it stands at £3,000.

You said you knew nothing about Bristol.

-Apparently I did.

-You said you knew nothing about football.

You were our lowest scorers in round one and round two

and a pretty decisive 2-1 victory in the head-to-head.

-Very well done.

-Lots of flukes.

-Who cares? You're here.

What do you want to see in this round?

I want to say movies but we weren't very good on the movies

in the head-to-head so...

Kevan?

I would love to see Scottish football

but I don't think it's gonnae happen.

Well, fingers crossed.

You start this round by choosing a category and you have four options.

They are:

-Do you want chick-lit?

-I do not want chick-lit at all.

-OK. Neither do I.

-The Traveling Wilburys, I don't know what that is.

-Italy?

-No. Italy?

World Cup, for you. Yeah, I'll take England World Cup finals, please.

-England World Cup finals it is. Richard.

-We are looking for:

Any players in the 1936 Davis Cup final.

We're looking for any player who scored in the Rugby World Cup

final between England and Australia.

Or we're looking for any run scorer in the 2010 cricket

world T20 final between England and Australia.

HE REPEATS OPTIONS

Can be English or Australian, your answers. Very best of luck.

Thanks very much. As always, you've got up to one minute to come up with

three answers and all you need to win the £3,000 jackpot

is for one of those answers to be pointless.

The answers you provide can come from any of these three categories

and you can spread them across the categories as you see fit,

so they could all come from category if you like

or it could be one from each. Entirely up to you.

-Are you ready?

-Yeah.

-Yep.

-Perfect. 60 seconds on the clock.

Your time starts now.

-Any help?

-All you.

-Thanks very much.

I think we should go for one of each, actually.

-1936 Davis Cup final, Fred Perry.

-What sport's that?

-Tennis.

-2003 Rugby World Cup scorers, Jonny Wilkinson.

-Did you say Fred Perry?

-Tennis.

-That's really famous, isn't it?

-Yeah, but who's going to guess 1936?

-OK.

-Run scorers in the 2010 world cup...

-And Australia.

Would Australia be lower?

Depends if you're asking an Australian or an Englishman.

-It's all English people, though.

-Yeah.

-Can you name an Australian?

-Literally no pressure. I know nothing.

-No pressure.

-No, I'm struggling with that.

-Ten seconds left.

I think we're going to miss out the Davis Cup cos everyone will pick

-Fred Perry.

-OK.

-Just go two rugby and...

-OK. That is your time up.

I need three answers. What can you give me?

I'm going to go for two in the rugby and one in the cricket.

-The two rugby would be David Campese.

-David Campese.

-And Rory Underwood.

-Rory Underwood.

And run scorers in the cricket would be...

..Jonathan Trott.

Jonathan Trott.

OK. We have David Campese, Rory Underwood and Jonathan Trott.

Of the three, which do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?

-Um... David Campese.

-David Campese we'll put last.

-Which is your least likely?

-Jonathan Trott cos I don't even think he was in it.

HE LAUGHS OK. Jonathan Trott. Fair enough.

We'll put Jonathan Trott first.

Let's put the answers up on the board in that order and here they are.

We've got Jonathan Trott, Rory Underwood and David Campese.

Best of luck. Your first answer was Jonathan Trott.

If this is right and it is pointless, you will win the £3,000 jackpot.

What would you do with your share of that, Kevan?

Me? I'd do what I've always done - subsidise Lauren.

AUDIENCE LAUGHTER

-So Lauren, what would you do with all of that?

-All of it?

-Um, I'd go back to Las Vegas, just for a crazy holiday.

-OK.

Do you want to rethink that, Kevan?

-Erm...

-I'll pay off my student debt.

-Oh, there we are. OK. Best of luck.

Jonathan Trott was your first answer.

Let us find out, for £3,000,

was he a run-scorer in the 2010 T20 World Cup?

No, he wasn't. Bad luck. Only two more shots at the jackpot.

Your second answer was Rory Underwood.

Was he in the squad, do you think? Have you timed that right?

-Let's find out.

-Yeah, I think so.

-You're pretty confident.

-Yeah.

Let's find out if it's right.

It will win you that £3,000 jackpot if it is pointless.

Was Rory Underwood a point-scorer in the 2003 Rugby World Cup final?

-Ooh, bad luck, Kevan!

-It's not looking good for the last one.

Bad luck. OK. Everything is riding on your final answer. David Campese.

I see what you did there - you've gone Australia, which is great.

Just where I think we have to look for our low scoring, indeed,

pointless answers. Let's find out, for £3,000.

Was David Campese a point-scorer in the 2003 Rugby World Cup final?

No! Bad luck, Kevan. I'm so sorry. Bad luck.

Three perfectly reasonable answers.

Plausible answers, even, but unfortunately incorrect answers.

You didn't find that all-important pointless answer

so you don't win the £3,000 jackpot. That rolls over to the next show.

But we really enjoyed having you. You've done such a great job.

-Very well done. You do take home the Pointless trophy.

-Absolutely.

-Well done for that.

-Thank you.

Very good.

Unlucky, guys. 2003, it's after Campese and Underwood's time

and Jonathan Trott didn't play in that final.

Let's look at the pointless answers.

It's going to be tough to get these Davis Cup ones.

Fred Perry who you said would have scored you 28 points.

There's the two Australians who played in that final,

Adrian Quist and Jack Crawford.

And there's the two British doubles players,

Patrick Hughes and Raymond Tuckey.

Very well done if you said any of those. Bunny Austin also played.

He would have scored you a point, though.

Looking at the Rugby World Cup scorers.

Elton Flatley scored four kicks in that final

and Tuqiri scored the first try as well.

He opened the scoring. I know some people at home will have got that.

I think those names are familiar to you as well.

Looking at the cricket one.

Cameron White, David Warner and Shane Watson, all of Australia,

would have been pointless answers. Paul Collingwood.

You'd have got pointless answers for David and Michael Hussey,

as well as Brad Haddin and Steven Smith.

There's another Englishman, Michael Lumb,

would have been a pointless answer, so very well done if you said that.

Thanks very much. Did you know any of those?

-The cricket ones, unfortunately.

-That's tough. Paul Collingwood.

We do have to say goodbye, Kevan and Lauren,

but we've loved having you and you've done so well.

Thank you so much for playing. Great contestants. Kevin and Lauren.

Well done.

Sadly, they didn't win our jackpot today which means it rolls over onto

the next show when we will be playing for £4,000.

-AUDIENCE:

-Oooh!

Join us next time, see if someone can win it. It's goodbye from Richard.

-Goodbye.

-And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
