0:00:19 > 0:00:20APPLAUSE
0:00:20 > 0:00:22Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong. Welcome to Pointless,
0:00:24 > 0:00:26the show where the aim of the game
0:00:26 > 0:00:28is to find the most obscure answer possible.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30Let's meet today's players.
0:00:34 > 0:00:35Couple number one.
0:00:35 > 0:00:39I'm Ami and this is my partner, Sam. We're from London.
0:00:39 > 0:00:40Couple number two.
0:00:40 > 0:00:44Hi, I'm Liz, this is my husband Peter, and we're from Pickering.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48- Couple number three. - Hi, I'm Ray, this is Kevin.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50We're from Wigan and St Helens in Lancashire,
0:00:50 > 0:00:53- and we play golf together. - And, finally, couple number four.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Matt, this is my delightful baby sister, Anna,
0:00:56 > 0:00:58and we're from London.
0:00:58 > 0:00:59These are today's contestants.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01APPLAUSE
0:01:03 > 0:01:04Thanks very much, all of you.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06We'll find out more about you throughout the show.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09That just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12Sound the geek klaxon, ring the swot bell.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Nerd alert: code red.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17It's my Pointless friend...
0:01:17 > 0:01:20- What?! It's Richard! - Hi, everyone. Hiya!
0:01:20 > 0:01:22APPLAUSE
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Hello.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28We've only got one returning pair today, that's Sam and Ami,
0:01:28 > 0:01:32notable for Ami joining the 200 club all by herself on the last show.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36And, you know, we quite often have a sixth sense for who's going to be a good pairing on the show, don't we?
0:01:36 > 0:01:40Sometimes a pair turns up, and even just by looking, you go, "OK."
0:01:40 > 0:01:42You know who I'm talking about on this show?
0:01:42 > 0:01:44- Ray and Kevin? - Ray and Kevin, yeah.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47- Don't you think?- Definitely. - They've just got that look,
0:01:47 > 0:01:50that smiling assassin look we see so often.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52They're going to be awesome. They're like a machine.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54- I can see that. - Don't you think?- Yeah.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59All our questions on Pointless have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01As ever, the aim of the game is to find a pointless answer,
0:02:01 > 0:02:04that's an answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06Each time you do that, we will add 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Now, Sarah and Ruth didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:02:09 > 0:02:12so we add another £1,000 to that, so today's jackpot starts off...
0:02:12 > 0:02:14at £3,000.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17APPLAUSE
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Now, as ever, the pair with the highest score
0:02:27 > 0:02:30at the end of this round will be eliminated,
0:02:30 > 0:02:32and there is to be no conferring during this round.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Our category for round one is...
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Countries. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:02:41 > 0:02:42who's going to go second.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45And, whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52OK, let's find out what the question concerns. And it is...
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Country Borders. Richard?
0:02:56 > 0:02:59In a moment, Xander's going to show you a list of five countries,
0:02:59 > 0:03:01all landlocked countries.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03We need you to tell us the name of any country
0:03:03 > 0:03:04that has a national land border
0:03:04 > 0:03:06with any of the countries you're about to see.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09As always, by country we mean a member of the UN
0:03:09 > 0:03:12that's a sovereign state in its own right. Very best of luck.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16Thanks very much indeed, Richard. So, we'll put the names of five countries up on the board.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18They will remain up for the whole round,
0:03:18 > 0:03:21so they'll be up when the question line comes up and back down again.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24Let's read those five countries out. Here they are.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35I'll read those one last time.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Now, Sam and Ami, you all drew lots before the show,
0:03:42 > 0:03:46- and today you are going to go first. Sam, welcome back.- Thank you.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48How was it last time?
0:03:48 > 0:03:50It was good fun.
0:03:50 > 0:03:55We, erm.... I think "death or glory" was the term that was used.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57It was certainly that!
0:03:57 > 0:04:01Yes, Ami, you went for the Monster Raving Loony Party, which was...
0:04:01 > 0:04:03- Some people do.- Yeah, exactly!
0:04:03 > 0:04:08I thought, rather than Conservative, Labour, which was boring, I would...
0:04:08 > 0:04:11- Spice it up a bit?- Yeah!- Good, good.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Sam, are you feeling comfortable about this geography question?
0:04:14 > 0:04:17I was when it said Countries and Richard explained the question,
0:04:17 > 0:04:20and now I see them all, I've got a plethora of things going through,
0:04:20 > 0:04:25so I'm going to play fairly safe and say Montenegro.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28- Montenegro.- Yeah. - OK, Montenegro, says Sam.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32Let's see if that's right. If it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Montenegro.
0:04:34 > 0:04:35It is right.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43There we are, 15 for Montenegro.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45APPLAUSE
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Great start, Sam.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51For much of the 20th century it was part of Yugoslavia.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Then it was part of the Federated Union of Serbia and Montenegro.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56And now it's just Montenegro.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59- Before you know it, it'll be Monte. - And Negro.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03Yeah, Negro will be somewhere else. And then... Where's it going to end?
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Thanks very much indeed, Richard. Now, Peter, welcome to the show.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08- Great to have you here, from Pickering?- Yes.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10In North Yorkshire. What do you do, Peter?
0:05:10 > 0:05:15I'm retired. I was a production manager at a chemical factory.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18- What sort of chemicals were they making?- Dyestuffs.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20I was at school with Di Stuffs.
0:05:20 > 0:05:21LAUGHTER
0:05:21 > 0:05:24- Yeah, he was a redhead, wasn't he? - That's right, that's him.
0:05:24 > 0:05:28- Then, the next day, a blue head. - Yeah.- That's the one!
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Now, Peter, what are you going to go for?
0:05:31 > 0:05:34I'm going to go for Democratic Republic of Congo
0:05:34 > 0:05:36for Central African Republic.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39The Democratic Republic of Congo, says Peter.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Sounds like a great answer, let's hope it's correct.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Let's hope nobody thought of it, as well.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56Oh, look at that, Peter! Very well done indeed, 3.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58APPLAUSE
0:05:58 > 0:06:013 for the Democratic Republic of Congo.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Very well played, Peter. That's a terrific answer.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Two Pointless favourites in one question there,
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Central African Republic and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
0:06:08 > 0:06:09- How great is that?- Yeah.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13Now, Ray, welcome to Pointless.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Great to have you here. What do you do, Ray?
0:06:15 > 0:06:18I'm a retired structural engineer,
0:06:18 > 0:06:21and I also used to teach line dancing.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26They often go hand-in-hand, don't they, yes? And where do you teach?
0:06:26 > 0:06:30I used to have classes at Bury, where I used to live,
0:06:30 > 0:06:33and I've taught on cruise ships on a couple of occasions, as well.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37- That must be fun?- Yeah, it's great. - Good stuff. Now, cruise ships...
0:06:37 > 0:06:42Yeah, might have given you a bit of geographical knowledge.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44I'll go with Chad.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47You're going to say Chad? Ray says Chad.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said Chad.
0:06:52 > 0:06:53Very good.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Oh, look at that! Very well done indeed.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03Some great answers coming out this round. 6 for Chad.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05APPLAUSE
0:07:05 > 0:07:08That's a very good answer, Chad. It wouldn't be great for cruise ships.
0:07:08 > 0:07:13The capital of Chad is over 1,000 miles by road from the nearest coast.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17- Yeah, that's...- You can't have a day at the seaside if you live in Chad.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Spare a thought for them.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23- Now, Matt.- Hi. - Welcome, welcome to Pointless.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27- What do you do, Matt?- I'm a solicitor in the City of London.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31Any particular sort of branch of...of...soliciting?
0:07:31 > 0:07:33LAUGHTER
0:07:33 > 0:07:36The best kind, competition law.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40- So, how is your geography, Matt? - It's not bad, it's not bad.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43But the countries there are quite obscure, some of them.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46But there's a couple of "..stans" up there
0:07:46 > 0:07:49so I'm going to go for another "..stan" and go for Kyrgyzstan.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Kyrgyzstan, says Matt.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55Let's see if Kyrgyzstan is right and how many of our 100 people said it.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01It's right. 15 our high score, 3 our low.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05You've passed 15, you've passed 3.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09Very well done indeed, Matt. A new low score.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12- APPLAUSE - Great answer. 2 points.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16Kyrgyzstan, terrific answer. It's a good round so far, isn't it?
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Kyrgyzstan, of course, famous last year for the great vowel shortage.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Yes. A vowel drought there.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25- Yeah, the vowel drought.- Well, in fact, it was just the "vwl drght".
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Yes, it was, the "vwl drght".
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Anyway, we're halfway through the round.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32I must take people through the scores.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Best score of that pass was yours, Matt. Very well done indeed.
0:08:34 > 0:08:372 points to Matt and Anna, looking pretty good.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Then Peter and Liz on 3, Ray and Kevin on 6.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Now, Sam, 15, not a bad score at all,
0:08:43 > 0:08:46- but, erm, in this, in this company...- Up against it.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49I'm afraid you are out in front, so, Ami, it falls to you.
0:08:49 > 0:08:50We'll come back down the line now.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:08:55 > 0:08:57OK, so, we're looking for countries that border
0:08:57 > 0:09:01these landlocked countries listed here.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03And, as ever, Anna, you're going to try and find
0:09:03 > 0:09:06the one you think the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08- Welcome to the show.- Hi. - What do you do, Anna?
0:09:08 > 0:09:10I'm a medical student in London.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12And how long have you been doing that for?
0:09:12 > 0:09:15This is my ninth year at university.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Wow.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20But that's great, you're going to be super qualified when you come out.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Good stuff.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26Now, what about these countries bordering landlocked countries?
0:09:26 > 0:09:28If you can score 12 or less,
0:09:28 > 0:09:30you'll avoid becoming the high scorers.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33That would be good.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35OK, I'm going to go for a bit of a risky one
0:09:35 > 0:09:38and I'm going to say Mongolia.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42Mongolia? Mongolia. There's your red line.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45If you get below that red line, you're through to the next round.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Let's find out if Mongolia's right,
0:09:47 > 0:09:49and, if it is, how many people said it. Mongolia.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54No!
0:09:54 > 0:09:55Bad luck, Anna.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58Good to take a risk, bad to get it wrong.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02But, there we are. 100 points, I'm afraid, that scores you.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05Might not be the last 100 points of this round, you never know.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07But 102 is your total.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09Sorry, Anna. Seems like it should, doesn't it?
0:10:09 > 0:10:11I thought maybe with Kazakhstan.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Seems at least one of them, it should be.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15What are they thinking?
0:10:15 > 0:10:17- Anyway, now, Kevin, welcome. - Thank you.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Every so often, I always like to pull out a lookalike.
0:10:20 > 0:10:26I'm going to say Kevin is St Helen's...Julian Fellowes.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29- Will you give me that?- Yeah, yeah. - Will you give me Julian Fellowes?
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Yeah, I wish I had his money.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Maybe you could.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Buy lots of tweed and walk into a Swiss bank and just say,
0:10:36 > 0:10:40- "I'll see my account now." - "Of course, you know me, don't you?"
0:10:40 > 0:10:43- "Who I am?"- They'll say, "Of course."- "Of course, Mr Fellowes."
0:10:43 > 0:10:46"I wonder if I could take out all of my money just to look at for a moment?"
0:10:46 > 0:10:48LAUGHTER
0:10:48 > 0:10:51"And if you could leave the room for a second, because it's very bad manners
0:10:51 > 0:10:54"to stand in a room while someone looks at all his money."
0:10:54 > 0:10:56And when they leave the room, scarper.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59Kevin, it's great to have you here. You're on 6 points.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01The high scorers are Anna and Matt on 102,
0:11:01 > 0:11:06which means 95 or less sees you comfortably into the next round.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08How are you feeling about geography?
0:11:08 > 0:11:12Er... Well, going back to Austria,
0:11:12 > 0:11:16it's the Austro-Hungarian Empire,
0:11:16 > 0:11:19- so I'll go for Hungary. - Hungary, says Kevin.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21There is your red line. Get below that, you're in round two.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24Let's find out if Hungary is right, let's see how many people said it.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28It's right, and you're through.
0:11:32 > 0:11:3320, very well done.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37- APPLAUSE - 26 is your total.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41- We were right about Ray and Kevin, weren't we?- Yeah.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43- Never wrong.- Never ever wrong.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47Liz, welcome. Welcome to the show.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Great score from Peter in the first pass there.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51- I know.- He's set you up absolutely fantastically.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55- How did you and Peter meet each other?- We met in China.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58- Did you? - And the day after we got home,
0:11:58 > 0:12:03Peter turned up at my doorstep with a single red rose,
0:12:03 > 0:12:08and every year, on that date, he buys me a single red rose.
0:12:08 > 0:12:09Ahh!
0:12:09 > 0:12:12Now then, Liz, there you are on 3,
0:12:12 > 0:12:15wanting to score 98 or less to stay in the game.
0:12:15 > 0:12:16I think you can do that.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18Slovakia.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Slovakia, says Liz.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Slovakia. Let's see if that's right
0:12:23 > 0:12:25and, if it is, how many of our 100 people said it.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27There's your red line.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Absolutely right. Very well done, Liz.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37APPLAUSE
0:12:37 > 0:12:4010, takes your total up to 13.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42Well played, Liz.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Yes, it's been an independent nation since 1993.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47A single red rose is an interesting phenomenon, isn't it?
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Because it is very, very romantic, it's a very charming thing to do,
0:12:50 > 0:12:52but also, actually, quite cheap.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55LAUGHTER
0:12:55 > 0:12:57- It's nice.- Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Now, Ami.
0:12:57 > 0:13:02102, the high scorers over there, Anna and Matt. You're on 15.
0:13:02 > 0:13:06You can score 86 and still get through to the next round.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Now, then, what are you going to go for?
0:13:08 > 0:13:11Erm, I shan't be too brave,
0:13:11 > 0:13:15- and I shall say Russia. - Russia, says Ami.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18Let's see if Russia's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:13:18 > 0:13:19There's your red line.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23It's right, and you're through. Very well done, Ami.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27- 34. - APPLAUSE
0:13:27 > 0:13:2949, your total.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Yeah, absolutely safe and sound, Ami. Very well played.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37Now, there's only one pointless answer anywhere on the board,
0:13:37 > 0:13:40and that, obviously, borders the Central African Republic,
0:13:40 > 0:13:43- and it's South Sudan. - South Sudan, yeah.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Macedonia, of course, borders Serbia.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48And Tajikistan borders Afghanistan.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51For Central African Republic, you could have got 2 for Cameroon,
0:13:51 > 0:13:54you could have got 3 for Sudan, you could have got 11 for Congo.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56Austria, Liechtenstein was the best answer,
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Liechtenstein would have scored you 7.
0:13:58 > 0:14:03And Iran would have scored 28 for bordering Afghanistan.
0:14:03 > 0:14:04Thank you very much indeed.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07So, at the end of our first round, the pair who are heading home
0:14:07 > 0:14:10with their high score of 102, I'm afraid it's Anna and Matt.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13Well, you did the right thing, though, you took a punt.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15You were looking for a good low score.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19It all bodes very well for next time, anyway.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Anna and Matt, we'll look forward to seeing you then.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24In the meantime, thanks very much for playing. Anna and Matt.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26APPLAUSE
0:14:26 > 0:14:30But, for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for round two.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36And so, just three pairs remain. At the end of this round,
0:14:36 > 0:14:38we'll be saying goodbye to another pair
0:14:38 > 0:14:40in time for our head-to-head round.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Very best of luck to all three pairs.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46Our category for round two is...
0:14:47 > 0:14:50Famous People. Can you all decide in your pairs
0:14:50 > 0:14:52who's going to go first, who's going to go second,
0:14:52 > 0:14:55and, whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01OK, and the question concerns...
0:15:06 > 0:15:09The Evening Standard Power 1,000.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12On each pass we're going to give you six clues to people,
0:15:12 > 0:15:14all of whom appeared on this list.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18The Evening Standard publishes the 1,000 most powerful people in London.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21It's going to be six on each pass, 12 in all, to have a go at at home.
0:15:21 > 0:15:22Very best of luck.
0:15:22 > 0:15:23Thanks very much indeed.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27So we are looking for the names of people described by these clues.
0:15:27 > 0:15:28Here's our first board of six.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56I'll read those all one last time.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24So there we are, six clues to six people
0:16:24 > 0:16:29on the Evening Standard Power 1,000 List.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Sam, what do you make of that?
0:16:31 > 0:16:34Er, not great, really.
0:16:34 > 0:16:39Well, I'm going to go with the Oscar winner and the artistic director,
0:16:39 > 0:16:42- which I believe is Danny Boyle. - Danny Boyle.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Sam, let's see if that's right
0:16:44 > 0:16:47and, if it is, how many of our 100 people said Danny Boyle.
0:16:48 > 0:16:49It's right.
0:16:54 > 0:16:5526.
0:16:59 > 0:17:0326. Good, low score. Danny Boyle.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06One of our 100, when asked that question, said Danny Dyer.
0:17:06 > 0:17:07LAUGHTER
0:17:07 > 0:17:10- Really?- So that goes to show.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13Thanks very much. Now, Peter, what do you make of that?
0:17:13 > 0:17:14Horrendous!
0:17:17 > 0:17:21I knew Danny Boyle, and I should know the Pompidou Centre
0:17:21 > 0:17:25and I should know the scientist,
0:17:25 > 0:17:30but I'm struggling, so I'll have to go with the Prime Minister's wife,
0:17:30 > 0:17:352010, Samantha Cameron.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Samantha, or Sam Cameron, says Peter.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said that.
0:17:42 > 0:17:43It's right.
0:17:51 > 0:17:5218, Peter!
0:17:55 > 0:17:58She's the great-great-great-great -great-great-great-great
0:17:58 > 0:18:01granddaughter of Charles II, Samantha Cameron.
0:18:02 > 0:18:03Thanks very much. Now, Kevin.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Kevin, you're the last person to have this board,
0:18:05 > 0:18:06which I think is great
0:18:06 > 0:18:10because I think you can probably take us through some of them.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12- I don't think I can!- Really?
0:18:12 > 0:18:15I think I'm stumped on this one, yeah.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18Er, well...
0:18:18 > 0:18:23played the character Crystal in the 2013 film, Judi Dench.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25OK, well, let's find out how wide of the mark or otherwise
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Kevin might be with Judi Dench.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30Is it right? How many people said it if it is?
0:18:32 > 0:18:36Oh, bad luck. A good guess, but I'm afraid an incorrect one.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Scores you the maximum of 100 points.
0:18:38 > 0:18:39- Sorry, Kevin.- That's all right.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42Yes, actually the most obscure answer on the board by a mile.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44It was a pointless answer, that one,
0:18:44 > 0:18:46so it was a tough one to choose for a guess.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50Kristin Scott Thomas is the answer to that. The pointless answer.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53Now, the computer scientist credited with
0:18:53 > 0:18:54inventing the World Wide Web...
0:18:54 > 0:18:56- Tim Berners-Lee. - Yes, Tim Berners-Lee.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59He was of course featured in the opening ceremony as well, wasn't he?
0:18:59 > 0:19:0413 points. The biggest score up there, the professor, Brian Cox.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06That would have scored you 42.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10And the architect, Richard Rogers, yes.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12He would have scored three points.
0:19:12 > 0:19:13Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15Well, we're halfway through the round.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Let's take a look at those scores as they stand.
0:19:17 > 0:19:2018, very much the best score of that pass, Peter. Well done.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22That puts you and Liz in a strong position,
0:19:22 > 0:19:25and up to 26 where we find Sam and Ami, very well done,
0:19:25 > 0:19:27and I'm afraid it's up to 100 where we find Kevin and Ray.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29We're going to come back down the line now.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:19:35 > 0:19:38OK, we will put six more descriptions up on the board.
0:19:38 > 0:19:39And here they are.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06I'll read those one last time.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Remember, Ray, we're looking for the names of the people
0:20:30 > 0:20:33described by these clues and obviously, you're going
0:20:33 > 0:20:36to try and find the one that the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38- I think it's a harder board, this one.- I agree.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40Wish I'd have had the first one.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44I'm going to have to go for the top one, which is
0:20:44 > 0:20:47really the only one I can say, which is Alastair Cook.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50Alastair Cook, says Ray. Let's see if that's right.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52And if it is, how many of our 100 people said Alastair Cook.
0:20:55 > 0:20:56It's right.
0:21:00 > 0:21:0223.
0:21:02 > 0:21:03APPLAUSE
0:21:05 > 0:21:0723 takes your total up to 123.
0:21:07 > 0:21:08Well played, Ray.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11Might have kept yourself in the game there, you never know.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13Thanks, Richard. Now, Liz.
0:21:16 > 0:21:20Became third in line to the British throne, Prince George.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23Prince George, says Liz. Let's see if that's right and,
0:21:23 > 0:21:25if it is, how many of our 100 people said Prince George.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27No red line for you, as you're already through.
0:21:30 > 0:21:31It's right.
0:21:34 > 0:21:3570.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39- Takes your total up to 88.- A big score, but safe and sound, yeah.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42Quite depressing that within minutes of him being born,
0:21:42 > 0:21:45he's already much more important than we'll ever be.
0:21:45 > 0:21:46Yeah.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Now, then, Ami, do you want to talk us through the board?
0:21:52 > 0:21:54I can talk you through two, I think.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57I think the animator is Nick Park.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00And I think, I think the guy who plays Luther
0:22:00 > 0:22:05is called Idris Elba, but I'll be a bit safer and go for Nick Park.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08You're going to go for Nick Park. Well, you have to score 96 or less.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11I think you might be able to do this. There is your red line.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14If you can get below it, you're in the head-to-head. Let's see.
0:22:14 > 0:22:15Nick Park. Is that right?
0:22:18 > 0:22:21Of course it's right. And you are through, very well done.
0:22:24 > 0:22:2617. Well done, you.
0:22:28 > 0:22:3043, your total.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34Well played, Ami, you've been great in both rounds on today's show,
0:22:34 > 0:22:35terrific work.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38You're absolutely right about Stringer Bell
0:22:38 > 0:22:40and Luther as well, it is Idris Elba.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43He would have scored you 15 points.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47Now, Margaret Mountford was replaced by Karren Brady.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Fairly big score for her, 30.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52And the best answer on that board, became editor of British Vogue.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55- Is it Alexandra Shulman?- It is Alexandra Shulman. One point.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Very well done if you said that.
0:22:57 > 0:22:58Thanks very much indeed.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00Well, at the end of our second round, I'm sorry to say,
0:23:00 > 0:23:03the pair heading home with a high score of 123,
0:23:03 > 0:23:06it's the people I thought were going to win.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08- Did you have a bet on us? - Well, no, it's fine.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11As long as you win the next game, I will still redeem my 50 grand,
0:23:11 > 0:23:13so that's fine.
0:23:13 > 0:23:14Ray and Kevin.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Thank you. Thank you.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22But, for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for the head-to-head.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28Congratulations, Sam and Ami, Peter and Liz,
0:23:28 > 0:23:31you are one step closer to the final and a chance to play
0:23:31 > 0:23:35for our jackpot, which currently stands at £3,000. There it is.
0:23:35 > 0:23:36AUDIENCE: Ooh!
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Now, we have to decide who's going to play for that money
0:23:40 > 0:23:43and, to do that, you are now going to go head-to-head.
0:23:43 > 0:23:44This time, you are allowed to confer.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46And the first pair to win two questions will be
0:23:46 > 0:23:48playing for that £3,000 jackpot.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:23:56 > 0:24:00OK, here comes your first question, and it concerns...
0:24:03 > 0:24:05- Richard.- I'm going to show you five images now
0:24:05 > 0:24:08of birds which have five letters, according to the RSPB website.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11Can you tell us the most obscure of these? Good luck.
0:24:11 > 0:24:12Thanks very much indeed.
0:24:12 > 0:24:16Let's reveal our five five-letter birds, and here they are.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36There we are. Five birds with five letters in their names.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40Now, then, Sam and Ami, you played best throughout the show,
0:24:40 > 0:24:41so you get to go first.
0:24:54 > 0:25:00- We're going to go safe and go for D, raven.- D, raven.
0:25:00 > 0:25:01D, raven, says Sam and Ami.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Now, Peter and Liz, do you think you might be able to talk us through
0:25:04 > 0:25:06the whole board and fill in the blanks for us?
0:25:06 > 0:25:09I would, if I was a bird-watcher.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12For some reason, I just hoped you might be.
0:25:15 > 0:25:19Hmmm, not really. Do you want to go B?
0:25:19 > 0:25:21No.
0:25:21 > 0:25:26No, we'll go a completely wild guess and go, E, heron.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29E, heron.
0:25:29 > 0:25:30E, heron.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35OK, now, Sam and Ami have said raven, for D.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Let's see if raven's right and,
0:25:37 > 0:25:39if it is, how many of our 100 people said raven.
0:25:41 > 0:25:42It's right.
0:25:46 > 0:25:4856, for raven.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53Quite a high score, but it's right.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56Now, Peter and Liz, I could hear some doubts setting in.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58No sooner had you said heron
0:25:58 > 0:26:00than I heard you say stork,
0:26:00 > 0:26:03but heron is the answer you've given, so we will take that.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05E, shall we find out if that's a heron?
0:26:05 > 0:26:07And how many people said it, if it is.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11Ooh, bad luck!
0:26:11 > 0:26:13Bad luck.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16Very well done, Sam and Ami. After one question, you are up 1-0.
0:26:16 > 0:26:17Well played, Sam and Ami.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20I think you did the right thing, going for the most obvious one.
0:26:20 > 0:26:26- Yes, it's not a heron, it's not a stork either. It's a crane.- Ah!
0:26:26 > 0:26:28Yeah, I bet lots of people at home
0:26:28 > 0:26:31got caught out on one or other of those answers.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34Would have scored you 19 points, would have been a good answer.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37Now, C, do you know what C is?
0:26:37 > 0:26:40- Yeah.- We know them as a quail.- Oh!
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Would have scored you 26.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Now, B, we use its feathers a lot.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49Britain's heaviest duck.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52It's an eider. Yeah, absolutely. It's an eider.
0:26:52 > 0:26:58Would have scored you six points. And A is the best answer on the board,
0:26:58 > 0:26:59it's a twite.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02A twite. Would have scored you one point.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05A twite, I'm not sure I've ever heard that word said before.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08You should go on Twiter! They're all on that.
0:27:08 > 0:27:12Thanks very much indeed, Richard. So, here comes your second question.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14Now, Peter and Liz. You get to answer this one first,
0:27:14 > 0:27:17but you have to win this one to stay in the game, so good luck.
0:27:17 > 0:27:18It concerns...
0:27:21 > 0:27:23The human heart, Richard.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26Now, we are going to give you five clues to facts about the human heart.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29Can you give us the most obscure answer? Best of luck.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32OK, thanks, Richard. Let's reveal our five clues, and here they come.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34We have got...
0:27:53 > 0:27:54And I'll read those all one last time.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14There we are, five clues to facts about the heart.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16Peter and Liz, you will go first.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19Which do you think is most...
0:28:21 > 0:28:25- Sorry?- Which is going to be the hardest one?
0:28:26 > 0:28:28Which one do you know?
0:28:31 > 0:28:35We will go with city where Christiaan Barnard performed
0:28:35 > 0:28:40the first successful heart transplant as Cape Town.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43Cape Town, say Peter and Liz, Cape Town for the first one.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45Now, then, Sam and Ami.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50- Do you fancy talking us through the board?- We'll give it a go.
0:28:50 > 0:28:54I believe the lower chambers are the ventricles.
0:28:55 > 0:28:59Does the right side of the heart pump the blood to the lungs?
0:28:59 > 0:29:02And the systolic and diastolic readings,
0:29:02 > 0:29:06potentially blood pressure. Which one do you want to go for?
0:29:06 > 0:29:09Ventricles, maybe?
0:29:09 > 0:29:11- Ventricles, shall we?- Go on. - Why not?
0:29:11 > 0:29:15We will go for ventricles for the two lower chambers, please.
0:29:15 > 0:29:16OK, you're going to say ventricles.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19Peter and Liz said Cape Town was where Christiaan Barnard
0:29:19 > 0:29:21performed the first human heart transplant.
0:29:21 > 0:29:25Let's see if that's right and let's see how many people said it.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27It's right, very well done.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33Ooh, look at that, 10.
0:29:33 > 0:29:34APPLAUSE
0:29:37 > 0:29:40Ten for Cape Town, very well done.
0:29:40 > 0:29:45Sam and Ami, you said ventricles for the lower chambers of the heart.
0:29:45 > 0:29:50Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said ventricles.
0:29:50 > 0:29:51It's right.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55It's going to have to beat 10, though.
0:29:55 > 0:29:56Ooh, 39.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58APPLAUSE
0:29:58 > 0:30:01Very well done, Peter and Liz, back in the game,
0:30:01 > 0:30:03after two questions, it is 1-1.
0:30:03 > 0:30:04Well played, both teams there,
0:30:04 > 0:30:07there's only one answer that would have beaten Cape Town.
0:30:07 > 0:30:08It's the one you didn't know.
0:30:08 > 0:30:12You were right about systolic and diastolic. It's blood pressure.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14Big score for that, 68 points.
0:30:14 > 0:30:17The right side of the heart pumps blood to the lungs, of course.
0:30:17 > 0:30:19That would have scored you 20.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22Best answer up there is the wall dividing the right
0:30:22 > 0:30:24and left sides of the heart, which is the septum.
0:30:24 > 0:30:26That would have scored you five points.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29Very well done if you said that at home, a terrific answer.
0:30:29 > 0:30:32Thanks very much indeed, Richard. Here comes your deciding question.
0:30:32 > 0:30:35Whoever wins this one goes to the final and plays for that jackpot.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37Best of luck to both pairs. It concerns...
0:30:41 > 0:30:43RIPPLE OF LAUGHTER
0:30:45 > 0:30:47- Your dream round, isn't it, Liz? - Yes!
0:30:47 > 0:30:50Duran Duran singles. Richard?
0:30:50 > 0:30:52Yes, we're going to show you a list of five Duran Duran singles.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54But we're just going to show you
0:30:54 > 0:30:56the number of letters in each word in that title.
0:30:56 > 0:31:00Can you decipher what those titles are, please?
0:31:00 > 0:31:03- Best of luck, both teams. - Thanks very much, indeed.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06Let's reveal our five Duran Duran singles, and here they are.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25There we are, five Duran Duran singles.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27Sam and Ami, you will go first.
0:31:34 > 0:31:35THEY WHISPER
0:31:39 > 0:31:43We'll go for 8,5, Ordinary World.
0:31:43 > 0:31:478,5, Ordinary World, say Sam and Ami.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50Peter and Liz, do you want to talk us through the board?
0:31:50 > 0:31:53LAUGHTER
0:31:53 > 0:31:57We haven't a clue. But we will go with...
0:31:57 > 0:32:001,4,2,1,4...
0:32:01 > 0:32:04..A Girl In A Boat.
0:32:04 > 0:32:06LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
0:32:13 > 0:32:16That's the third single I ever bought,
0:32:16 > 0:32:18A Girl In A Boat by Duran Duran.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20That is brilliant.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23Now, Sam and have gone for Ordinary World.
0:32:23 > 0:32:24Let's see if that's right, and if it is,
0:32:24 > 0:32:28and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Ordinary World.
0:32:36 > 0:32:37Eight for Ordinary World.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39APPLAUSE
0:32:43 > 0:32:47Peter and Liz, I think we know the answer to this one, but I think
0:32:47 > 0:32:50you deserve some sort of special prize for coming up with that.
0:32:50 > 0:32:55It fits and it's perfect and it's lovely and it would be great.
0:32:56 > 0:32:59I fear it may not be right.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02Let's see, is it? A Girl In A Boat.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07No, bad luck!
0:33:07 > 0:33:10Bad luck, the greatest single they never had a hit with,
0:33:10 > 0:33:12A Girl In A Boat. But very well done.
0:33:12 > 0:33:16Sam and Ami, after three questions, you are through to the final 2-1.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19APPLAUSE
0:33:23 > 0:33:26Well, well played, Peter and Liz, I'm sure you'll come back next time
0:33:26 > 0:33:29and go one step further. Sam and Ami, terrific work there.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32It was a tough round and Ordinary World was a very good answer.
0:33:32 > 0:33:36- Do you know 1,4,2,1,4? - A View To A Kill.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39- Yes, it was the Bond theme. - Oh, no!
0:33:39 > 0:33:41And that would have scored you 14 points,
0:33:41 > 0:33:44so wouldn't have beaten Ordinary World, which was a terrific answer.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46The bottom one, do you know that?
0:33:46 > 0:33:48- I've got that, Hungry Like The Wolf.- Yes, good.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50It would have scored you 23 points.
0:33:51 > 0:33:55- Three, I think is probably the easiest one there.- Rio, yes.
0:33:55 > 0:33:56Rio, yes, with 32 points.
0:33:56 > 0:34:00And the top one, it came out at much the same time as Ordinary World,
0:34:00 > 0:34:03another one of their singles at that time, Come Undone.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05And that would have scored you six points.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10There we are. Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12So the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head,
0:34:12 > 0:34:16after a heroic performance right across the show, Peter and Liz, you've been wonderful.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19The good news is, we get to see you again next time.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21Peter and Liz, thanks so much for coming.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26But for Sam and Ami, it's time for our Pointless final.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34Well, congratulations, Sam and Ami, you've seen off all the competition
0:34:34 > 0:34:36and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:34:45 > 0:34:49and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £3,000.
0:34:49 > 0:34:50APPLAUSE
0:34:54 > 0:34:56You start this round off by choosing your category
0:34:56 > 0:34:58and here are your four options. They are:
0:35:08 > 0:35:12- OK, so it's not Drummers or Dance Acts.- No.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14- Are you better at Athletics than I am at Writers?- Probably.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17- I don't know. - How good is your Athletics?
0:35:18 > 0:35:23- Let's go for it, why not?- On your own? Good.- Athletics?- Yes, please.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25That's what it is, Richard.
0:35:25 > 0:35:28OK, three different categories for you here.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30Take your answers from any of these.
0:35:30 > 0:35:34We are looking for anyone who has ever won an Olympic medal
0:35:34 > 0:35:36for Team GB in a field event.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39That's from any time from 1896 Olympics
0:35:39 > 0:35:41right up to the London Olympics at 2012.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43So anyone with a bronze, silver or gold
0:35:43 > 0:35:46in a strictly field event in one of those Olympics.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49We are looking for any British athlete who won
0:35:49 > 0:35:51a medal at the 2013 World Championships.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53So anyone from the Great Britain and Northern Ireland team
0:35:53 > 0:35:55who won a medal.
0:35:55 > 0:35:56Or we are looking for
0:35:56 > 0:35:58any current holder of a UK record,
0:35:58 > 0:36:01any woman who holds a UK record
0:36:01 > 0:36:03in any of the field and track events.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06Very, very best of luck. Plenty to get your teeth into there.
0:36:06 > 0:36:10Thanks very much indeed, Richard. Now, Sam and Ami.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12As always, you have up to one minute
0:36:12 > 0:36:13to come up with three answers
0:36:13 > 0:36:16and to win that jackpot of £3,000,
0:36:16 > 0:36:18only one of those answers needs to be pointless.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21The answer you provide can come from any of these categories.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23It's entirely up to you. You can have them all from one category
0:36:23 > 0:36:25or two from one, one from another.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28It is entirely in your hands. Are you ready?
0:36:28 > 0:36:31- Yeah.- OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34There they are. Your time starts now.
0:36:34 > 0:36:38- Jonathan Edwards won the gold in the field, in the triple jump.- Yes.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40Who won the triple jump this year? The redhead.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43He won't be pointless anyway.
0:36:43 > 0:36:49Women's record holders, Christine Ohuruogu, does she still own the...
0:36:49 > 0:36:50She probably does, actually.
0:36:50 > 0:36:53Sally Gunnell, potentially, does she still own a record?
0:36:53 > 0:36:55She won't be pointless, will she?
0:36:55 > 0:36:57I don't know, she may be in the hurdles.
0:36:57 > 0:37:01World Championships medallists from this year,
0:37:01 > 0:37:04obviously, Mo, but...
0:37:05 > 0:37:06Maybe...
0:37:09 > 0:37:12I don't know, did Hannah England maybe come in
0:37:12 > 0:37:13in the other distance running?
0:37:15 > 0:37:17It's worth a punt, maybe,
0:37:17 > 0:37:19because she's not as famous as Ohuruogu or...
0:37:19 > 0:37:22OK, we'll go with Hannah England...
0:37:23 > 0:37:25- 10 seconds left.- Jonathan Edwards.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28Jonathan Edwards, Hannah England and shall we go with Sally Gunnell
0:37:28 > 0:37:32- as an outside chance?- Or Ohuruogu, whichever you prefer.
0:37:33 > 0:37:35- Go with Gunnell.- OK. - OK, that's your time up.
0:37:35 > 0:37:37I now need your three answers.
0:37:37 > 0:37:40Could you say which category you're answering in?
0:37:40 > 0:37:43Yep, so Team GB field medallists, we'll go with Jonathan Edwards.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45Jonathan Edwards.
0:37:45 > 0:37:50A UK 2013 world championship medallist, Hannah England?
0:37:50 > 0:37:51Hannah England.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54And women's record holders in the UK athletics, we are
0:37:54 > 0:37:55going to say Sally Gunnell?
0:37:55 > 0:37:57Hopefully still holds a record in the hurdles.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00Sally Gunnell. OK, of those three,
0:38:00 > 0:38:03which is your most likely to be pointless, do you think?
0:38:03 > 0:38:05If it's right, then Hannah England.
0:38:05 > 0:38:07All right, Hannah England, we'll put last.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10Which is your least likely?
0:38:10 > 0:38:12- Sally Gunnell.- Sally Gunnell first.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14OK, let's pop those answers up on the board in that order
0:38:14 > 0:38:16and here they are.
0:38:16 > 0:38:21We have got Sally Gunnell, Jonathan Edwards and Hannah England.
0:38:21 > 0:38:26Well, very best of luck. OK, Sally Gunnell was your first answer.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29The one you thought was probably least likely to be pointless.
0:38:29 > 0:38:31Remember, only one of these answers has to be pointless
0:38:31 > 0:38:34for you to win that jackpot of £3,000.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36What would you do with that?
0:38:36 > 0:38:39We've just moved into our first home together last month,
0:38:39 > 0:38:43so things for the house. I want a toaster.
0:38:43 > 0:38:45What, you haven't got a toaster?!
0:38:45 > 0:38:47No, we have to use the grill.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50- And you forget about it under the grill.- We do, it's rubbish.
0:38:50 > 0:38:53- You have to scrape all the black bits off.- Yes.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55OK, now, Sally Gunnell,
0:38:55 > 0:38:59we're looking for people who hold UK athletics records.
0:38:59 > 0:39:02Is that right, and if it is, is it pointless, for £3,000?
0:39:05 > 0:39:07It's right.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09Ooh, that's a good answer, Sam.
0:39:09 > 0:39:11Down it goes, through the 40s.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13If this goes all the way down to zero,
0:39:13 > 0:39:15you leave here straight to the toaster shop.
0:39:15 > 0:39:16Seven.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22- OK.- Seven.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24So, unfortunately, not a pointless answer,
0:39:24 > 0:39:27- but you weren't expecting that to be pointless, really.- No.
0:39:27 > 0:39:31So only two more chances to win today's jackpot.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34Our next answer from you is Jonathan Edwards.
0:39:34 > 0:39:39Now, Jonathan Edwards, this is a Team GB field medallist.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42OK, well, let's find out. Obviously, it has to be correct
0:39:42 > 0:39:44then it has to be pointless to win the jackpot.
0:39:44 > 0:39:49So for £3,000, let's find out, how many people said Jonathan Edwards.
0:39:52 > 0:39:53It's right.
0:39:53 > 0:39:56Your first answer, Sally Gunnell,
0:39:56 > 0:40:00took us down to 7.
0:40:00 > 0:40:04Your second answer passes that, down it goes, still going down, too.
0:40:04 > 0:40:05Oh, this is very good.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07APPLAUSE
0:40:10 > 0:40:14Only one more chance to win today's jackpot of £3,000.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16Everything is now riding on Hannah England.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19You were hoping - Jonathan Edwards, quite a well-known name.
0:40:19 > 0:40:20And he only scored two.
0:40:20 > 0:40:26Hannah England, as yet, not one of the really big names.
0:40:26 > 0:40:31- So maybe, maybe, she is a pointless answer.- If she's even there.- Yeah!
0:40:31 > 0:40:33OK, well, let's find out, Hannah England,
0:40:33 > 0:40:36if it's correct and pointless it will win you £3,000.
0:40:36 > 0:40:37Let's find out, Hannah England.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42No! No, bad luck!
0:40:42 > 0:40:43APPLAUSE
0:40:43 > 0:40:45Oh, well.
0:40:47 > 0:40:49Oh, I'm sorry.
0:40:49 > 0:40:52You're going to have to grill the bread for a little bit longer.
0:40:52 > 0:40:54I'm so sorry. Unfortunately, you didn't manage
0:40:54 > 0:40:56to find that all-important pointless answer,
0:40:56 > 0:40:59which I'm afraid means you don't win today's jackpot of £3,000.
0:40:59 > 0:41:01That will roll over onto the next show.
0:41:01 > 0:41:04But we have really enjoyed having you on both your shows.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06And you do get to take home a Pointless trophy, so there we are.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08You won't leave empty-handed. Richard.
0:41:08 > 0:41:10Yeah, unlucky. Hannah England got a medal
0:41:10 > 0:41:12in the 2011 World Championships,
0:41:12 > 0:41:14but not the 2013 ones, I'm afraid, but good punt.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17Jonathan Edwards, the triple jumper.
0:41:17 > 0:41:19You mentioned as well Phillips Idowu,
0:41:19 > 0:41:21who got the silver in the triple jump,
0:41:21 > 0:41:24- he was a pointless answer, I'm afraid.- Sorry.
0:41:24 > 0:41:28And right at the last second you decided Sally Gunnell
0:41:28 > 0:41:30is absolutely right as a British record-holder.
0:41:30 > 0:41:33You were wondering whether Christine Ohuruogu is as well.
0:41:33 > 0:41:36- She is and she was a pointless answer in that category.- Oh, no!
0:41:36 > 0:41:39Let's take a look through some of the pointless answers.
0:41:39 > 0:41:41There will be other names you will know, I'm sure.
0:41:41 > 0:41:44The high jumper, Germaine Mason, who won a silver in 2008.
0:41:44 > 0:41:48There's Phillips Idowu. Robbie Grabarz, who won the bronze
0:41:48 > 0:41:51at the London Olympics in the high jump, was a pointless answer.
0:41:51 > 0:41:52Sheila Parkin-Sherwood,
0:41:52 > 0:41:56who won a silver in the long jump in 1968 in Mexico.
0:41:56 > 0:41:58Another jumper, Keith Connor, you could have had.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00Mary Rand also would have been a pointless answer.
0:42:00 > 0:42:03And our medallists, Eilidh Child, Margaret Adeoye
0:42:03 > 0:42:06and Shana Cox from the 4 x 400m relay team.
0:42:06 > 0:42:07They were all pointless answers.
0:42:07 > 0:42:11Tiffany Porter, who won a medal in the hurdles,
0:42:11 > 0:42:13she was a pointless answer.
0:42:13 > 0:42:17And all the 4 x 100m bronze team, they were all pointless answers.
0:42:17 > 0:42:20Let's take a look finally at the women's record holders.
0:42:20 > 0:42:24Ashia Hansen, who still holds the triple jump record from 1997.
0:42:24 > 0:42:25There's Christine Ohuruogu.
0:42:25 > 0:42:27Kathy Smallwood-Cook, Kathy Cook, who was,
0:42:27 > 0:42:31who has held her 200m record since 1984. And Sonia Lannaman,
0:42:31 > 0:42:35who was part of the 1980 4 x 100m record-winning team,
0:42:35 > 0:42:39that record still stands as well, which is amazingly impressive.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42Very well done, athletics fans, if you got some of those at home.
0:42:42 > 0:42:45And that has to go down as one of the more unlucky jackpot losses,
0:42:45 > 0:42:48I'm afraid. It was terrific. I'm so sorry you didn't win the money.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51Thanks very much. Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to you,
0:42:51 > 0:42:54Sam and Ami, but it has been brilliant having you on the show.
0:42:54 > 0:42:58Thank you so much for playing so well. Sam and Ami, everyone.
0:42:58 > 0:43:00APPLAUSE
0:43:00 > 0:43:03Sadly, Sam and Ami didn't win our jackpot today,
0:43:03 > 0:43:05which means it rolls over onto the next show,
0:43:05 > 0:43:07hen we will be playing for £4,000.
0:43:11 > 0:43:13Join us next time to see if someone can win it.
0:43:13 > 0:43:15- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:15 > 0:43:16And it's goodbye from me, goodbye.
