0:00:12 > 0:00:16APPLAUSE
0:00:16 > 0:00:18CHEERING
0:00:21 > 0:00:22Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless.
0:00:24 > 0:00:28This is the show where the questions have all been asked to 100 people before the show
0:00:28 > 0:00:31and all our contestants have to do is come up with the answers
0:00:31 > 0:00:34that no-one else could think of. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:38 > 0:00:39And couple number one.
0:00:39 > 0:00:44Hi. I'm Naomi, this is Rachel and we're twin sisters from Halifax.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47- Couple number two.- Hi. I'm Zoe. This is my mum, Joy.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50We're both originally from Devon and now I live in Lincolnshire.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52- Couple number three.- Hello.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55I'm Tom, this is my girlfriend, Ro, and we're from Birmingham.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57- And couple number four. - Hello. I'm Sue,
0:00:57 > 0:01:01this is my husband, Colin, and we're from Haywards Heath in West Sussex.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03And these are today's contestants.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05APPLAUSE
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Thanks, all of you. We'll find out more about you throughout the show
0:01:08 > 0:01:11as it goes along, so that just leaves one more person
0:01:11 > 0:01:13for me to introduce. He's a man so clever
0:01:13 > 0:01:15that his online banking security question
0:01:15 > 0:01:17is on advanced particle physics.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22CHEERING Hiya. Hi, everybody. Hiya.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28- Afternoon.- Good afternoon to you. - How are you?- I'm very well.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31- Got a couple of returning pairs today. Naomi and Rachel.- Yeah.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34- Did very well last time...- Didn't they!- ..through to the head-to-head.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37Ro and Tom, probably need to see a little bit more of you
0:01:37 > 0:01:38this time, I think.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41And we've got a couple from my hometown, or my old home town
0:01:41 > 0:01:45- where I grew up, Haywards Heath. - What about that!- Sue and Colin, I think that's a first.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47We've never had any Haywards Heath-ers on the show before.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Oh, I see. Actually from Haywards Heath.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52- That is a terrific position to have attained, isn't it?- It's amazing.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55If you think about the teeming metropolis that is Haywards Heath,
0:01:55 > 0:02:00- you'd think we'd have had hundreds of thousands of people from there. - I think they're very restrained.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02I think that's what it is. They're very modest people.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Did you fly up from Haywards Heath International Airport today?
0:02:05 > 0:02:07LAUGHTER
0:02:07 > 0:02:10There you go. Anyway, let's get on with this show.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Now, every question has been asked to 100 people before the show.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17Today's contestants are looking for a pointless answer, that is one that none of our 100 people gave.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Find one of those and we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22Now, Dave and Bill won the jackpot last time,
0:02:22 > 0:02:26so today's jackpot starts off at £1,000. There it is.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Right. If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37Now, obviously, the pair with the highest score at the end of the round will be eliminated.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41And remember, there is no conferring in the first two rounds.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43OK. Our first category today is...
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Historic Figures.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Historic Figures. Can you all decide in your pairs
0:02:47 > 0:02:51who's going to go first, who's going to go second.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58OK. And the question concerns...
0:02:59 > 0:03:02..historical figures who never married.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Historical figures who never married. Richard.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08On each pass, we're going to show you seven clues to historic figures who never married.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11You just need to give us the most obscure answer, please.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13There's going to be 14 clues, so 14 answers to get at home.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Very best of luck.
0:03:15 > 0:03:16Thanks very much indeed.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19So, we are looking for the names of these figures who never married
0:03:19 > 0:03:20and here are the clues.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Our first seven reads like this.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45I'll read those all one last time.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10There we are. Now, Naomi and Rachel, you all drew lots before the show
0:04:10 > 0:04:13and today you are going to go first for the second time.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17- Naomi, welcome back.- Thanks. - Tell us what happened last time.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19We did a lot better than we thought.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23We got through to the head-to-heads, but then we totally fluffed it.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26Even though Rachel does a PhD in film and I did a lot of my degree
0:04:26 > 0:04:30on Latin America, we were really terrible at Hitchcock films...
0:04:30 > 0:04:33- And Brazil.- ..and Brazil.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Yeah. It didn't go as well as it could have done.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37But you did very well, you went through to the head-to-head.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41OK. Now, you get first dibs on this board. What do you make of it?
0:04:41 > 0:04:43I'm not going to lie, I don't...
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Honestly, I know this is embarrassing,
0:04:45 > 0:04:46but I don't know one of them.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49The gravity one seems really obvious, but now I'm stood here,
0:04:49 > 0:04:51I can't think of the name.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53I'm going to go with the Wuthering Heights novel
0:04:53 > 0:04:55and say Emily Bronte...
0:04:55 > 0:04:57- Emily Bronte. - ..and hope that's right.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Emily Bronte. Let's hope it is, let's see if it is
0:04:59 > 0:05:01and if it is, let's see how many people said Emily Bronte
0:05:01 > 0:05:02for Wuthering Heights.
0:05:04 > 0:05:05It's right.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11- Yay!- 43.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14APPLAUSE
0:05:14 > 0:05:1543 for Emily Bronte.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19Yes, published in 1847, that, under the pseudonym Ellis Bell.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23But it doesn't help you get married if you have a male pseudonym.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26I bet she totally would have got married if people had known she was a woman.
0:05:26 > 0:05:32I bet there were loads of people going, "That's a brilliant book, but I'm not going to marry a guy."
0:05:32 > 0:05:34- Don't you think?- Well, yes.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37If you went on a dating website and put your name as a male name,
0:05:37 > 0:05:40people wouldn't be clicking on your link, whatever you'd written.
0:05:40 > 0:05:41If she'd published it as Emily Bronte,
0:05:41 > 0:05:43she'd have been beating them off.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45I know. She would have been!
0:05:45 > 0:05:46ALEXANDER LAUGHS
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:05:49 > 0:05:50Zoe, welcome to the show.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54- Great to have you here. You are from Lincolnshire.- Yes.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56- And what do you do in Lincolnshire, Zoe?- I'm a doctor.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00- What sort of doctor?- I'm training to be a GP, but at the moment, I'm working in a hospital...
0:06:00 > 0:06:04- OK.- ..doing paediatrics.- Doing your housemanship, is that what that is?
0:06:04 > 0:06:07- I'm a senior house officer, actually.- A senior house officer.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Soon to be a GP registrar which I think sounds a bit better.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13- Will you stay up in Lincolnshire? - Yeah, I think so.
0:06:13 > 0:06:14Yeah, I've got a house up there.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18- Now then, what about these famous people who never married?- Yeah.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Erm... I definitely know two
0:06:20 > 0:06:24and I think it's just trying to work out which one less people will know.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27I'm going to say he supposedly discovered gravity when an apple
0:06:27 > 0:06:29dropped on his head and say Isaac Newton.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Isaac Newton, says Zoe. Let's see if that's right
0:06:31 > 0:06:34and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39It is right. 78!
0:06:39 > 0:06:41APPLAUSE
0:06:42 > 0:06:4378.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47I'm afraid that didn't go down as far as the apple did. Richard.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49That is a big score, isn't it?
0:06:49 > 0:06:51He was an MP very briefly, Isaac Newton, as well.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53But he only had one recorded contribution
0:06:53 > 0:06:56to the whole of parliamentary history and it's noted down,
0:06:56 > 0:07:00it's suggesting that someone close a window because there was a draft.
0:07:00 > 0:07:05- That was his one recorded note.- There we go. Isaac Newton. Brilliant.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08- Now then, Tom. Welcome back. - Thank you very much.- Welcome back.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12- Now, it was Round Two last time. - It was, yep.- What was the question?
0:07:12 > 0:07:15- It was a food question. - Ah, yes, I remember.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17We were looking for coq au vin
0:07:17 > 0:07:20and unfortunately, we were just one letter out.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23- Coq du vin didn't cut it. - No, wasn't going to do it.
0:07:23 > 0:07:28No. So, unfortunately, you know, kumquat may, here we are again.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32- Ah, that's good. That is good. - Oh, my God.- That is good.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36Tom, how are you on this board of unmarried people?
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Well, the two out of the three that I knew have gone,
0:07:38 > 0:07:41so that leaves me firmly with one choice.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45The Queen of England, famously known as the Virgin Queen,
0:07:45 > 0:07:49- I'm going to go with Elizabeth I. - Elizabeth I, says Tom.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said Elizabeth I.
0:07:53 > 0:07:54It's right.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02- 39. Our best score so far, Tom. - APPLAUSE
0:08:02 > 0:08:0339.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07- I would be a bit disappointed by... - 39 is...
0:08:07 > 0:08:10- That's a very surprisingly low score, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13For one of the most famous figures in British history.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16This would be a really disappointing dating agency, wouldn't it?
0:08:16 > 0:08:18If that was the first page of it.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22- Who would you date out of all those descriptions?- Um...
0:08:22 > 0:08:25I'm going to be perfectly honest, it's between the authoress
0:08:25 > 0:08:28of Wuthering Heights and the Queen of England.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32I think I would... I think I would go on a date with the Queen of England.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36I know but... I'm not sure. You're probably likely to get beheaded.
0:08:36 > 0:08:41It would be bad if you had two dates and then thought, "Oh, I'm not sure."
0:08:41 > 0:08:42Imagine though going to the Brontes'.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46You'd have to go around there for lunch in the parsonage.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50- You'd probably start eating too soon.- Sir, you don't appear
0:08:50 > 0:08:52to have texted my daughter in three days?
0:08:54 > 0:08:58Thanks very much. Now then, Colin, welcome to the show.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01Great to have you here. Where have you come from, Colin?
0:09:01 > 0:09:03- We come from Haywards Heath. - Of course!
0:09:03 > 0:09:05LAUGHTER
0:09:08 > 0:09:12I can't believe I had to ask you that. Haywards Heath, of course.
0:09:12 > 0:09:13How is it in Haywards Heath?
0:09:13 > 0:09:17It's as it always was, as Richard would remember it. Nice and quiet.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20Lovely. So, Colin, you're the last person to have this board.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Do you want to talk us through it and fill in all the blanks?
0:09:23 > 0:09:26German composer...
0:09:26 > 0:09:29might be Beethoven.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33I have no idea about a Polish composer.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36A Scottish economist might be Adam Smith.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40But I think I'll have an educated guess at the second one down,
0:09:40 > 0:09:43empire builder, who I think might be...
0:09:43 > 0:09:46- Cecil Rhodes.- Cecil Rhodes, says Colin. Let's see if that's right
0:09:46 > 0:09:49and if it is, let's see how many people said Cecil Rhodes.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52It's absolutely right.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Oh! Stealth.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00- APPLAUSE - 16.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Very nice indeed, Colin.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Best score of the pass. Very well done.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08That's a very good answer from the heart of mid Sussex there.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11Very well played. Now, you didn't do badly on the rest of them, actually.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14You were right about the German composer. That was Beethoven.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17He would have scored you 19 points. Rhodes actually a better answer.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20You were right about Adam Smith as well, the Scottish economist.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23That would have been a better answer. It's the best answer on the board.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Would have scored you 10 points. Very well done if you said that at home.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28And the Polish composer, Xander?
0:10:28 > 0:10:30- Chopin.- Chopin. Frederic Chopin.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32And he would have scored 14 points.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Thank you very much indeed. OK. We're halfway through the round.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38Let's take a look at those scores. 16, best score of that pass, Colin.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41Very well done. That puts you and Sue in a very good position
0:10:41 > 0:10:44at this stage. Then up to 39 where we find Tom and Ro.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Up to 43, Naomi and Rachel.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49Then up to 78. Ooh, that was a costly answer.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51I knew Elizabeth I as well.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53I'm really annoyed that I didn't go for her.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Never mind. I think Joy looks like she knows exactly
0:10:56 > 0:10:57what's going on in this round.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59I think we're going to get a low score from Joy
0:10:59 > 0:11:02and we're going to need a low score to keep you in the game. Good luck.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06We're going to come back down the line now. Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:11:08 > 0:11:11OK. Let's put seven more clues on the board and here they are.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13We have got...
0:11:40 > 0:11:42I'll read those all one last time.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09Now, remember, we are looking for the names of these famous figures
0:12:09 > 0:12:12who never married. Sue, you're going to try and find the one you think
0:12:12 > 0:12:15the fewest of our 100 people knew. How are you, Sue?
0:12:15 > 0:12:16- Great to have you here.- Thank you.
0:12:16 > 0:12:20Now, you and Colin have known each other for a long time, haven't you?
0:12:20 > 0:12:23We have, I'm afraid. Yes. We both met at senior school
0:12:23 > 0:12:25and we've been married for 42 years.
0:12:25 > 0:12:26Wow. Congratulations.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29Has Colin changed at all over the years?
0:12:29 > 0:12:32- I can't imagine him looking any younger, certainly.- He was...
0:12:32 > 0:12:34He was, erm...
0:12:34 > 0:12:36not expelled,
0:12:36 > 0:12:37but told to leave school
0:12:37 > 0:12:39to have his hair cut.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42LAUGHTER
0:12:42 > 0:12:45I'm glad to see you've kept it nice and short for us today.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Thank you for that. Sue, you're on 16.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50You're doing very well indeed. The high scorers on 78 are Joy and Zoe
0:12:50 > 0:12:54which means 61 or less sees you comfortably through to the next round.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56- And you get first dibs on the board so...- Yes, yes.
0:12:56 > 0:12:57What do you think?
0:12:57 > 0:13:02Yeah. There's one I definitely know and one that I think I know.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05But the one I definitely know is going to be really high, I think,
0:13:05 > 0:13:09so I am going to go for the one I think I know
0:13:09 > 0:13:12which is the Romantic poet who wrote Ode on a Grecian Urn
0:13:12 > 0:13:14and I think that was Lord Byron.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17Lord Byron, says Sue. Lord Byron. Let's see if it's right.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20Let's see how many of our 100 people said Byron.
0:13:20 > 0:13:21There's your red line.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27Oh, bad luck, Sue.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer,
0:13:29 > 0:13:33scores you the maximum of 100 points. Takes your total up to 116.
0:13:33 > 0:13:34- Richard.- Sorry, Sue. Not Lord Byron.
0:13:34 > 0:13:39- I'll give you the right answer at the end of the pass. It's a much tougher board, isn't it?- Isn't it?
0:13:39 > 0:13:42- Thanks very much. Now, Ro.- Hello.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45Ro, welcome back. Remind us what you do, Ro?
0:13:45 > 0:13:47I work in a school as an art technician.
0:13:47 > 0:13:51- And in your spare time, what do you do?- Sewing...
0:13:51 > 0:13:54er, I love Robert Pattinson.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57- Um, that's not really a hobby.- Do you think you could mix those two?
0:13:57 > 0:13:58OK. Robert...
0:13:58 > 0:14:01- And him. I love Tom too.- OK.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05Sewing and Robert Pattinson. Interestingly, in that order.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07Sometimes mix it up a bit.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09Ah, well. Anyway, listen, there you are.
0:14:09 > 0:14:1039 you are on which means
0:14:10 > 0:14:12if you can score 76 or less,
0:14:12 > 0:14:15you are through to the next round. What do you make of this board?
0:14:15 > 0:14:16It's really difficult.
0:14:16 > 0:14:23I think I'm going to be a bit safe and go for "Author who created
0:14:23 > 0:14:26"the heroes Elizabeth Bennet and Mr Darcy", and say
0:14:26 > 0:14:27Jane Austen.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31Jane Austen, says Ro. OK. There's your red line.
0:14:31 > 0:14:36Get below that, you're in round two. Let's see if Jane Austen's right. Let's see how many people said it.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38It is right.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41- And you're through. Well done. - Yes!
0:14:41 > 0:14:4238.
0:14:42 > 0:14:43APPLAUSE
0:14:43 > 0:14:47One better than Tom. Takes your total up to 77.
0:14:47 > 0:14:48Well done, Ro.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51- Another low score for Jane Austen. - I know.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53She actually was proposed to and accepted the proposal,
0:14:53 > 0:14:55but she changed her mind the next morning.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58Wow. It must have been quite a night.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02The guy who proposed to her is called Harris Bigg-Wither.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04ALEXANDER CLEARS HIS THROAT
0:15:04 > 0:15:06And still she said no?
0:15:06 > 0:15:08LAUGHTER
0:15:08 > 0:15:11There you go. Anyway, now, Joy, welcome to the show.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15- It's great to have you here. - Thank you.- And you are from Devon?
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Yes, a small town, Ottery St Mary.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Famous for all sorts of things.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Famous for a very strange thing. Actually, we have got the birthplace of a famous poet,
0:15:22 > 0:15:24- I won't mention his name.- OK.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27The other thing our little town is famous for is the world-famous
0:15:27 > 0:15:31flaming tar barrels where people run about the town
0:15:31 > 0:15:35carrying enormous tar barrels flaming on their shoulders,
0:15:35 > 0:15:38running through crowds of 15,000 people.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41- Until they die. - Well, no-one has died yet.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43Joy, you're on 78.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46You were the high scorers at the beginning of this pass
0:15:46 > 0:15:47but no longer.
0:15:47 > 0:15:48Sue and Colin are on 116.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52If you can score 37 or less, you're through to the next round.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55I'm going to say Oscar Wilde for the Romantic poet who wrote
0:15:55 > 0:15:58- Ode on a Grecian Urn.- OK. You're going to say Oscar Wilde.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02Here's your red line. Get below that and you're in the next round.
0:16:02 > 0:16:03Oscar Wilde. Is that right?
0:16:07 > 0:16:09Bad luck, Joy. I'm sorry.
0:16:09 > 0:16:14Another incorrect answer scores 100 points, takes your total up to 178.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17Sorry, Joy. Oscar Wilde wrote Ode to a Greek Guy called Urn but not...
0:16:17 > 0:16:21LAUGHTER ..not that, I'm afraid.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26Now then, Rachel. I have great news.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29You are through to the next round, even if you score 100 points.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31You are through,
0:16:31 > 0:16:35- Tom, kumquat may. There you go.- Feel free to use it whenever you want.
0:16:35 > 0:16:36Listen, I'm going to. I'm going to.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38I'm going to help myself to that one.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41That board is all yours, Rachel, so talk us through it,
0:16:41 > 0:16:42fill in all the blanks.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45The top one, my cousin goes to a Steiner school,
0:16:45 > 0:16:47so I think it could be Rudolf Steiner.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49The Romantic poet, no idea.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53Founder of modern nursing, I'd go for Florence Nightingale.
0:16:53 > 0:16:54Don't know the other two.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57I'd like to go for the bottom one, just for fun,
0:16:57 > 0:17:00cos I know he's a French philosopher so...
0:17:00 > 0:17:01Michel Foucault.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05- You're going to say Foucault... - Yeah.- ..for author of Candide? OK.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said it. No red line for you.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12You're already through. But how many of our 100 people thought Foucault?
0:17:14 > 0:17:15Oooh.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Tough board. Very tough board indeed.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22An incorrect answer, as it turns out. Takes your total up to 143.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25- But you're through. Couldn't matter less.- It's all right.- Richard.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Yes, not Foucault, I'm afraid. But you went for a risky one.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29You were right about Florence Nightingale.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31She is the founder of modern nursing there.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33She would have scored you 63 points.
0:17:33 > 0:17:37- Now, it's a tough board, Xander. How are you on this board?- I'm OK.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40- From the top, Maria Montessori. - Maria Montessori, yeah.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43Lots of Montessori schools up and down the country.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47That would have scored you 17. Now, who wrote Ode on a Grecian Urn?
0:17:47 > 0:17:50- That, I believe, is John Keats. - It is John Keats, yeah.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52- Good answer as well. Would have scored 8 points.- 8!
0:17:52 > 0:17:56- The Renaissance artist. - I would take a punt. Michelangelo.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00- Oh! It's one of the other Mutant Ninja Turtles, I'm afraid. - Is it?- Yeah.
0:18:00 > 0:18:07- It's Raphael.- Raphael. I nearly went Donatella Versace, but I didn't.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10Five points there. I think there's a clue in this one,
0:18:10 > 0:18:13- the British Prime Minister.- That one I know, Pitt the Younger.- Yep.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15That's a fairly good answer. 16 points for that.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18And do you know the bottom one, the author of Candide?
0:18:18 > 0:18:20I think it's Voltaire, but it might...
0:18:20 > 0:18:21- It is Voltaire.- Phew.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23And that would have scored you 9 points.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26So, Raphael is the best answer up there, but a very tough board.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29- Well done if you got most of those. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33So, at the end of our first round, I'm afraid the pair leaving us
0:18:33 > 0:18:35with a high score of 178 is Joy and Zoe.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37Dear, oh, dear.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39- Never mind.- Never mind.- Oh, well.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41- The good news is we get to see you again next time.- Yep.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43We'll look forward to that very much
0:18:43 > 0:18:45and hear a little bit more about Ottery St Mary.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Looking forward to that in particular.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50Thanks so much for playing, Joy and Zoe. Lovely contestants.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52APPLAUSE
0:18:52 > 0:18:55But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04And so now three pairs remain. Sue and Colin, welcome to Round Two.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08Good to have you here. Lovely low score from you with Cecil Rhodes there, Colin.
0:19:08 > 0:19:12Ro and Tom, this was where you fell last time, Round Two.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14Naomi and Rachel made it through to the head-to-head.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17We'll be saying goodbye to one of you at the end of this round.
0:19:17 > 0:19:22Best of luck to all three pairs. Our category for Round Two is...
0:19:22 > 0:19:23Football Managers.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:19:29 > 0:19:32And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36OK. Let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name...
0:19:39 > 0:19:43as many long-serving football managers as they could.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Long-serving football managers. Richard.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48We're looking for the name of anyone who's managed the same
0:19:48 > 0:19:51Premiership club for over 100 games, please.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53So, any manager who's managed the same Premiership clubs
0:19:53 > 0:19:57for over 100 games, from the beginning of the Premiership in 1992
0:19:57 > 0:20:00all the way through to the start of the 2013-2014 season.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02There's over 40 names on the list.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05There's plenty of pointless ones, if you know your football.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08But I suspect for some people it might be a damage-limitation round, this one.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11Thanks very much indeed. OK.
0:20:11 > 0:20:16- Naomi, football, is this good for you?- OK. Not too bad.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19I'm going to go for David Moyes.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22David Moyes, says Naomi. David Moyes. Let's see if that's right
0:20:22 > 0:20:25and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28It's right.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33- APPLAUSE - 31.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37Not bad. 31 for David Moyes.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41Yes, David Moyes was manager of Everton for ten years.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44- Pretty good going. He's a terrific manager.- Thanks very much indeed.
0:20:44 > 0:20:49Now, Tom. Are you feeling better about this than Ro seems to be?
0:20:49 > 0:20:51Not much, no.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54If I could pick the worst category that you could throw at me
0:20:54 > 0:20:58- in a game of Pointless, this would have been right up there.- OK.
0:20:58 > 0:21:03- So, I'm going to go Kevin Keegan. - Kevin Keegan.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05How are you feeling about that, Ro?
0:21:05 > 0:21:06Er...
0:21:06 > 0:21:11If you'll forgive me, I'd say you're looking kumquat worried there.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14OK. Let's see. Kevin Keegan, is that right?
0:21:14 > 0:21:18If it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:21:18 > 0:21:19It is right.
0:21:20 > 0:21:2231 is our only score so far
0:21:22 > 0:21:24and you've beaten that. Down it goes.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27Still going down. 13. Very well done indeed. Tom.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29APPLAUSE
0:21:29 > 0:21:3213 for Kevin Keegan.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35Well done, Tom. That really is damage limitation. That's terrific.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38Managed that feat with two clubs, actually. Man City and Newcastle.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Yeah, I knew that.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44Thanks very much indeed, Richard. Colin, we come to you.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46This is a good round for you, isn't it, Colin?
0:21:46 > 0:21:51- I've got one or two ideas which might be good answers, I hope.- OK.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53Which do you think is your best shot?
0:21:53 > 0:21:59I'm going to go for a manager of Richard's team, Fulham.
0:21:59 > 0:22:04- I'm going to try Chris Coleman. - Chris Coleman, says Colin.
0:22:04 > 0:22:09Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11It's right.
0:22:11 > 0:22:1313, our low score at this point.
0:22:15 > 0:22:16Stormed past that.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20Down to pointless. Look at that, Colin. Very, very well done indeed.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22That is a proper pointless answer.
0:22:22 > 0:22:27It adds £250 to today's jackpot, takes the total up to £1,250
0:22:27 > 0:22:30and it scores you nothing. That's a fabulous answer.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33- Proper Haywards Heath of an answer there.- Yeah, really is.- Richard.
0:22:33 > 0:22:34Brilliant, Colin. Very well played.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38Very unlike someone concerned with Fulham to score no points.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43Thanks very much indeed, Richard. We're halfway through the round.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46Let's take a look at those scores. That lovely last score from Colin,
0:22:46 > 0:22:48the best of that pass. In fact, the best of the entire game.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Nothing is what they scored and nothing is where they are.
0:22:51 > 0:22:5513 is what Tom and Ro are on. Then up to 31 where we find Naomi.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57So, Rachel, we're going to need a nice low score
0:22:57 > 0:23:00from you to make sure you get through to the head-to-head again.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02Best of luck. We're going to come back down the line.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:23:07 > 0:23:09So, Sue, we're looking for anyone who's managed
0:23:09 > 0:23:13a team in the Premiership for more than 100 games in total.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16- Didn't Colin do well?- Didn't he? - That was fabulous.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19With an ex-Crystal Palace player as well and I'm thinking
0:23:19 > 0:23:22about going with another ex-Crystal Palace player
0:23:22 > 0:23:25and I think I'll go with Alan Pardew.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Alan Pardew says Sue.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30She knows her football. It's good, isn't it?
0:23:30 > 0:23:31There's your red line.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35Get below that with Alan Pardew and you are in the head-to-head.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39Let's see if it's right. Let's see how many people said Alan Pardew.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Oh, not again!
0:23:41 > 0:23:44She doesn't know her football, does she, Richard?
0:23:44 > 0:23:46LAUGHTER
0:23:46 > 0:23:50- I'm sorry. That's an incorrect answer. It sounded so good.- It did.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52I thought that might have been a double pointless,
0:23:52 > 0:23:56but I'm afraid you score 100 points and that takes your total up to 100.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58It may not be the highest total of the round. Richard.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01Yes, to be fair, Sue does know her football. It's a very good answer.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04- I'm surprised it wasn't on the list.- Ro.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08Now, the high scorers are now Sue and Colin on 100.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10You're on 13, so 86 or less
0:24:10 > 0:24:13sees you through to the head-to-head.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15Now, what are you thinking?
0:24:15 > 0:24:19OK. I have absolutely no idea,
0:24:19 > 0:24:22so I'm going to say Alex Ferguson.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26I thought you might say that.
0:24:26 > 0:24:27Oh, did you?
0:24:27 > 0:24:28There's your red line.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32Well, let's see if that's right
0:24:32 > 0:24:36and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:24:39 > 0:24:40You've done it!
0:24:40 > 0:24:4272.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45- APPLAUSE - Wow.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48That takes your total up to 85. You are in the head-to-head.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51Very well done indeed. I thought that was going to be one of those occasions
0:24:51 > 0:24:55- where it started and stayed on 100. - Yeah. Over 800 games in charge
0:24:55 > 0:24:58- for Sir Alex Ferguson.- Rachel.
0:24:58 > 0:24:59I've got a few in my head.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02But I'm going to be safe because I just want to get it right.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04Let me just remind you how safe you need to be.
0:25:04 > 0:25:0668 or less keeps you in the game.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09The high scorers are obviously on 100. You're on 31.
0:25:09 > 0:25:13I'm going to go for Rafa Benitez.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16Rafa Benitez, says Rachel. OK.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19There's your red line. Get below that, you're in the head-to-head.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Let's see if Rafa Benitez is right,
0:25:21 > 0:25:23let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:25:25 > 0:25:26It is right.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28There you are, through you go.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34- HE LAUGHS - Three for Rafa Benitez!
0:25:34 > 0:25:38- APPLAUSE - Wow, 34 is your total.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40The lowest total of the round, very well done.
0:25:40 > 0:25:44Very good answer, over 200 games in charge of Liverpool, Rafa Benitez.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46Won the Champions League as well, of course, with them.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49For people playing at home, I know some will be racking their brains,
0:25:49 > 0:25:51trying to get some of these.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54Quite a few pointless answers. Let's take a look at a few of them.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58You could have had Alan Curbishley at Charlton. Alex McLeish at Birmingham.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00Claudio Ranieri at Chelsea.
0:26:00 > 0:26:04You could have had... Gareth Southgate would have been a pointless answer.
0:26:04 > 0:26:08Gerard Houllier, again at Liverpool. Joe Kinnear, Wimbledon.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11Mick McCarthy. Steve McClaren would have been a pointless answer.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15Trevor Francis. You also could have had Brian Little at Villa.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Chris Coleman, we've already had, a great answer.
0:26:17 > 0:26:18Gerry Francis at Spurs.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20Jim Smith at Derby. John Gregory at Villa.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23John Lyall at Ipswich. Or Roy Evans at Liverpool.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25All of those were pointless answers.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Very well done if you survived that round,
0:26:27 > 0:26:29very well done if you got a pointless answer, football fans.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31Thanks very much, Richard.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34At the end of our second round, the pair leaving us with their high,
0:26:34 > 0:26:37but I'd say undeservedly high score of 100, is Sue and Colin.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39But that was a great round,
0:26:39 > 0:26:41and very well answered, although technically wrong.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43LAUGHTER
0:26:43 > 0:26:46Lovely to have you, we look forward to seeing you next time.
0:26:46 > 0:26:47Sue and Colin, thanks for playing.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49APPLAUSE
0:26:51 > 0:26:53For the remaining pairs, time for the head-to-head.
0:26:53 > 0:26:54APPLAUSE
0:26:58 > 0:27:01Congratulations, Ro and Tom, Naomi and Rachel.
0:27:01 > 0:27:02You're one step closer to the final,
0:27:02 > 0:27:06and a chance to play for our jackpot which currently stands at £1,250.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11To decide who gets to play for that money in the Pointless final,
0:27:11 > 0:27:12you are now going to go head-to-head.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14This time, you are allowed to confer.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19Let's play the head-to-head.
0:27:19 > 0:27:20APPLAUSE
0:27:25 > 0:27:28Here comes your first question. And it concerns...
0:27:31 > 0:27:34Celebrity fathers. Richard?
0:27:34 > 0:27:35We have five pictures of celebrities,
0:27:35 > 0:27:40all of whom have a famous dad. We need you to name the dad, please.
0:27:40 > 0:27:41Very best of luck.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43Thanks very much indeed.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46So, let's reveal our five celebrities with famous dads.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48And here they are, we have got...
0:28:03 > 0:28:06There we are. Five celebrities with famous dads.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09Ro and Tom, you've played best throughout the show,
0:28:09 > 0:28:12and have the lowest overall score, so you get to go first.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17THEY WHISPER
0:28:19 > 0:28:23Erm, I was hoping for Angelina Jolie, but she's not there.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25SHE LAUGHS
0:28:25 > 0:28:32We're going to go for E, and I think his father is Jon Snow.
0:28:32 > 0:28:36- E, Jon Snow.- Oh, God.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39Now, Naomi and Rachel, talk us through the board, if you can.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41We don't really know any of them.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44We think C's Nigel Lawson.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46Nigella's dad.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49I have a feeling E, I was going to guess
0:28:49 > 0:28:54and say David Coulthard just because he's got a very similar jaw.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56It is like, if you look under the nose, it looks like him.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58But, everyone else, we don't have a clue.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00So, we're going to go for C, Nigel Lawson,
0:29:00 > 0:29:05just because I think it's right, and it's not just the jaw.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07LAUGHTER
0:29:07 > 0:29:09It is not just the jaw!
0:29:09 > 0:29:12OK, you're going to say C, Nigel Lawson.
0:29:12 > 0:29:14So, we have Ro and Tom saying E, Jon Snow.
0:29:14 > 0:29:18Let's see if that's right, and how many of our 100 said E, Jon Snow?
0:29:22 > 0:29:25Ooh! Bad luck.
0:29:25 > 0:29:26Sorry, Ro and Tom. Incorrect.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28Which means, Naomi and Rachel, you merely have to be correct,
0:29:28 > 0:29:31with Nigel Lawson for C, to win that point.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33Let's see, is it right?
0:29:35 > 0:29:37It is right, very well done indeed.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43- 40, for Nigel Lawson. - APPLAUSE
0:29:46 > 0:29:47Well done, Naomi and Rachel.
0:29:47 > 0:29:51You have broken their serve. After one question, it is 1-0 to you.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53Well played, Naomi and Rachel.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55E is Dan Snow, the TV historian,
0:29:55 > 0:29:58but his dad is David Coulthard, I'm afraid.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00LAUGHTER You can see the res...
0:30:01 > 0:30:04The thing to do in this round, look at the jaw.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06That's how I play it, just look at the jaw.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09No, his dad is Peter Snow, who is Jon Snow's cousin.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11- Oh, man! - So, really unlucky.
0:30:11 > 0:30:1513 points that would have scored you, well done if you'd said that at home.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18- Now, A, Xander, do you know A? - I do, Edward Fox.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21That's Emilia Fox, her father is Edward Fox.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23She would have scored you 17 points.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26- B?- Is Johnny Ball.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29Zoe Ball, daughter of Johnny Ball.
0:30:29 > 0:30:33Think of a number, that number is 53. HE GIGGLES
0:30:33 > 0:30:36- You're right about Nigella Lawson. - And D?
0:30:36 > 0:30:38- That's Angelina Jolie. - LAUGHTER
0:30:41 > 0:30:43Uncanny.
0:30:43 > 0:30:48That is the brilliant film director Duncan Jones, David Bowie's son.
0:30:48 > 0:30:49Would have scored you three points.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52Well done if you'd said that, the best answer up there.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56Thank you very much indeed. Now, here comes your second question.
0:30:56 > 0:31:00Ro and Tom, you have to win this question to stay in the game.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02But Naomi and Rachel get to answer it first.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04Our second question today concerns...
0:31:07 > 0:31:08Damien Hirst. Richard?
0:31:08 > 0:31:10We're going to give five clues, to facts about Damien Hirst,
0:31:10 > 0:31:12very best of luck, both teams.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14Let's reveal our five Damien Hirst facts.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17Here they are. We have got:
0:31:29 > 0:31:31I'll read those all one last time.
0:31:44 > 0:31:48There we are, five clues to five facts about Damien Hirst.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50Naomi and Rachel, you will go first.
0:31:50 > 0:31:52THEY WHISPER
0:31:55 > 0:31:58- Shall I just go for that? - How sure are you?
0:31:58 > 0:32:01I'm going to guess that the organic compound he used
0:32:01 > 0:32:05to preserve his calf was formaldehyde.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08Formaldehyde, you're going to say. Naomi and Rachel say formaldehyde.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11Ro and Tom, talk us through the rest of the board?
0:32:11 > 0:32:14- Fill in as many answers as you know. - Oh, this is so embarrassing.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17- You know all of them?- No! - SHE LAUGHS
0:32:17 > 0:32:21No, I've got an art degree, but I'm not very good at this board.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24Ro, you didn't have to tell us you had an art degree.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27- You could have kept that quiet. - Now the whole world knows!
0:32:27 > 0:32:32Grade he got for his A-level in art? I'd guess something like a C.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35Name of art movement is modern art
0:32:35 > 0:32:38but I don't know if I'd have to say modernism.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40Shall we have a guess at the decade?
0:32:40 > 0:32:42How old do you think he is?
0:32:42 > 0:32:46- What's a decade?- '80s, '90s, '70s.
0:32:46 > 0:32:48OK. I would say...
0:32:48 > 0:32:50LAUGHTER
0:32:50 > 0:32:52How did your art degree go?
0:32:52 > 0:32:53LAUGHTER
0:32:54 > 0:32:59Oh, gosh. Oh... Shall we say he got a C?
0:32:59 > 0:33:02- Yeah, let's do that.- OK.
0:33:02 > 0:33:04Let's say he got a C.
0:33:04 > 0:33:06You're going to say a C for his A-level.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08Naomi and Rachel say formaldehyde is the compound
0:33:08 > 0:33:10in which his calf was preserved. Let's see if it's right,
0:33:10 > 0:33:14and how many of our 100 people said formaldehyde?
0:33:16 > 0:33:17Absolutely right.
0:33:22 > 0:33:23- APPLAUSE - 20.
0:33:27 > 0:33:2920 for formaldehyde.
0:33:29 > 0:33:33Meanwhile, Ro and Tom have said he got a C in his A-level art.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36Let's see if that is right, and how many people said a C?
0:33:38 > 0:33:41Oh, bad luck! Bad luck, Ro and Tom.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43An incorrect answer. It means Naomi and Rachel,
0:33:43 > 0:33:46after two questions, are through to the final, 2-0.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49- Very well done indeed. - Guys, shall we do the handshake?
0:33:49 > 0:33:51APPLAUSE
0:33:55 > 0:33:58He wouldn't have made all that money in art if he'd got a C.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00- He got an E!- Oh, man.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03That would have scored you seven points.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05Given you have lots of grades to choose from for A-level
0:34:05 > 0:34:07and very few decades to choose from,
0:34:07 > 0:34:09it might have been better to go for the top one.
0:34:09 > 0:34:13- What decade would you have gone for? - I'd say '60s.
0:34:13 > 0:34:14- Born in the '60s?- Yeah.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17- You would have just scored yourself a point.- Oh.
0:34:17 > 0:34:21- Absolutely right, it would have scored 15.- Oh, man.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24Name of the art movement he is most associated with is the...?
0:34:24 > 0:34:27- Brit art. - Young British Artists.
0:34:27 > 0:34:31That would have scored... Exactly, one point.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34- The restaurant he opened in Notting Hill?- Pharmacy.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36Pharmacy is the answer. A tough board.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38That would have scored you five points.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41So, the Young British Artists is the best answer there.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44- Thanks very much indeed.- Pleasure.
0:34:44 > 0:34:48The pair leaving at the end of the head-to-head, Ro and Tom.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51- Ro, you didn't need to tell us you'd done an art degree.- I know.
0:34:51 > 0:34:55- Please don't tell anyone. - It's fine, it's our little secret!
0:34:55 > 0:34:58It's been wonderful having you on the show. You've done very well.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01You've been the lowest scoring pair, you've done phenomenally well.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04We're going to have to say goodbye. It's been a real pleasure,
0:35:04 > 0:35:05Thanks so much, Ro and Tom.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:35:08 > 0:35:12But, for Naomi and Rachel, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19Congratulations, Naomi and Rachel, you fought off all the competition
0:35:19 > 0:35:22- and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy. Well done.- Yay.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30You have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:30 > 0:35:35At the end of today's show, that jackpot stands at £1,250.
0:35:35 > 0:35:39- You've done incredibly well. - I know.- What a big surprise.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41Despite Foucault in the first round.
0:35:41 > 0:35:45I don't know anything about art but I know how to preserve a calf.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48- I'm pleased about that. - LAUGHTER
0:35:48 > 0:35:52There you are, you did very well, formaldehyde preserved you.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54LAUGHTER
0:35:54 > 0:35:56As always, you need to choose a category in the final.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58Your choices are as follows...
0:36:06 > 0:36:08- What's wrong with Hull? - LAUGHTER
0:36:09 > 0:36:12I said, "Go for Hull." "Why won't you choose Hull?"
0:36:12 > 0:36:16You have loads of different categories within Hull.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18So it's not about Hull, it something from Hull.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21- What do you know from Hull?- What do you know about Russian culture?
0:36:21 > 0:36:23LAUGHTER
0:36:23 > 0:36:27- What would you go for? - Dance Acts.
0:36:27 > 0:36:31- Hull.- That would be like Strictly. - I don't watch Strictly.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34- Hull, apparently.- No, we can go Dance Acts, if you want.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36- No. Hull.- Hull, please.
0:36:36 > 0:36:39- LAUGHTER - Hull.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42- They've gone with Hull, Richard. - LAUGHTER
0:36:42 > 0:36:43What else?!
0:36:43 > 0:36:46The word Hull is starting to lose all meaning.
0:36:46 > 0:36:47LAUGHTER
0:36:47 > 0:36:50You have gone for Hull, very well done.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52Let's look at the three options within that category.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55We're looking for the name of any feature film made for cinema release
0:36:55 > 0:36:59for which Hull actor Tom Courtenay received an acting credit.
0:36:59 > 0:37:04We are looking for any top 40 UK single by The Beautiful South.
0:37:04 > 0:37:10We're looking for any member of Hull City's 2013 promotion winning team.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12- Very best of luck.- Thanks.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14As always, you've got up to one minute
0:37:14 > 0:37:16to come up with three answers.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18And, to win that jackpot of £1,250,
0:37:18 > 0:37:21all you need is to find one pointless answer.
0:37:21 > 0:37:23Just one answer has to be pointless.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26The answers you give can come from any of these three categories.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29It could be one from each category, two from one, one from another,
0:37:29 > 0:37:33- it's entirely up to you. Are you ready?- Yes.- Yep.
0:37:33 > 0:37:35Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:37:35 > 0:37:37There they are, your time starts now.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39Blackbird On The Wire?
0:37:39 > 0:37:41We don't know any Tom Courtenay films. Do you know any?
0:37:41 > 0:37:46- I don't know any, no.- I'd have to go purely Beautiful South singles.
0:37:46 > 0:37:47Blackbird On The Wire.
0:37:47 > 0:37:50There's The Table. Perfect 10.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53What's the other one on the album?
0:37:53 > 0:37:55That's all I've got, actually.
0:37:55 > 0:37:57Keep thinking.
0:37:59 > 0:38:03- Perfect 10. The Table.- Carry On... Oh, that was the album.
0:38:03 > 0:38:06- Surely there's something called Carry On, then?- Maybe. I don't know.
0:38:06 > 0:38:09- There's some more obvious, there's Rotterdam.- Oh, yes.
0:38:11 > 0:38:15- Don't Marry Her. - They're too obvious.- Yeah.
0:38:15 > 0:38:20I think The Table and Blackbird On The Wire were quite obscure-ish.
0:38:20 > 0:38:24What's another one we could do with that? Perhaps with The Housemartins?
0:38:24 > 0:38:27- No.- Erm..
0:38:27 > 0:38:29- 10 seconds left.- What have we said?
0:38:29 > 0:38:34- Take The Table, Bird On The Wire. - And Rotterdam.- That's too obvious.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36- Don't Marry Her.- That's obvious.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38- What's the other one? - I don't remember.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41OK, that's your time up. That is your time up.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44I didn't want to stop you singing, because it was lovely.
0:38:44 > 0:38:46What are your answers going to be?
0:38:46 > 0:38:48All our answers are Beautiful South singles
0:38:48 > 0:38:50because we don't know any from the other categories.
0:38:50 > 0:38:52We are going to go for...
0:38:52 > 0:38:54- The Table.- The Table.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57- Blackbird On The Wire. - Blackbird On The Wire.
0:38:57 > 0:39:01- And we're going to go for Perfect 10?- Yeah.- And Perfect 10.- Yeah.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04Of those three, which is your best shot?
0:39:04 > 0:39:07- I think The Table.- The Table. - The Table we'll put last.
0:39:07 > 0:39:10- Blackbird On The Wire in the middle. - In the middle.
0:39:10 > 0:39:11And Perfect 10 first.
0:39:11 > 0:39:14Let's put the answers on the board in that order.
0:39:14 > 0:39:15Here they are. We have got...
0:39:18 > 0:39:21Very best of luck. Three fabulous sounding answers.
0:39:21 > 0:39:24Impressive knowledge of The Beautiful South, I have to say.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26They're the first band we ever saw.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28Our parents took us to see them in Sheffield
0:39:28 > 0:39:31when we were about 13, 14 years old.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34- So there should be a pointless answer up there?- We hope so.
0:39:34 > 0:39:37If one of those answers is pointless,
0:39:37 > 0:39:40and you win £1,250, what would you do with it?
0:39:40 > 0:39:45Well, I'm going to Iceland next year, with 12 or 13 friends,
0:39:45 > 0:39:49so it might buy us a round of drinks in Reykjavik.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51It'd be spent on that, I think.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54I want to save up for going travelling after my PhD, hopefully.
0:39:54 > 0:39:59I'd put it towards that. Or buy her a drink in Reykjavik as well.
0:39:59 > 0:40:00Very best of luck.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03We're looking for top 40 singles by The Beautiful South.
0:40:03 > 0:40:06Perfect 10, you thought was your least likely to be pointless.
0:40:06 > 0:40:07- Yep.- Let's find out.
0:40:07 > 0:40:10Only one answer has to be pointless to win the jackpot. Let's see.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13Perfect 10, is that a Beautiful South top 40 single,
0:40:13 > 0:40:15and how many people said it?
0:40:18 > 0:40:19Well, it's right.
0:40:21 > 0:40:24Down it goes, through the 50s. Through the 40s.
0:40:24 > 0:40:27This will give us some idea of how much our 100 people know
0:40:27 > 0:40:29about The Beautiful South. 18.
0:40:29 > 0:40:32- Not bad.- We'll take it. - APPLAUSE
0:40:32 > 0:40:34Probably their best-known single.
0:40:34 > 0:40:36Yeah, it is, actually.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38But not a pointless answer.
0:40:38 > 0:40:40We now leave their better-known singles,
0:40:40 > 0:40:44and we head into unknown, some might say uncharted territory,
0:40:44 > 0:40:47with Blackbird On The Wire, your second answer.
0:40:49 > 0:40:50Let's see if it's right,
0:40:50 > 0:40:55and how many of our 100 people knew it to be a Beautiful South single?
0:40:56 > 0:40:58- It's right.- Oh.
0:40:59 > 0:41:01Perfect 10 took us all the way down to 18.
