Episode 65 Pointless

APPLAUSE

Thank you very much indeed.

Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong, and a very warm welcome to Pointless,

the game where you're always looking out for the lowest score.

Let's meet today's players.

Couple number one.

Hi, my name's Lorna, this is my twin sister, Ruth, and we're from Corby.

Couple number two.

Hello, my name's Steve and this is my friend Brenda,

-and we're from Essex.

-Couple number three.

Hi, I'm Ange, this is my husband Lee, and we're from Rochdale.

-And finally, couple number four.

-I'm Adam B, this is Adam J.

I'm from Gloucester, he's from the Wirral and we're mates from London.

And these are today's contestants.

Thanks, everyone.

We'll find out more about you as the show goes along.

That just leaves one more person for me to introduce.

He's a lot smarter than he looks, which is weird,

because he looks like a total nerd.

It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.

Hiya. Hi, everybody.

Afternoon.

-Good day to you.

-And to you.

I always like it when we have a first on Pointless.

I always keep a matrix of every single thing that ever

happens on Pointless.

I've got a matrix of every single players who's ever played,

and I've got them displayed alphabetically.

And Adam and Adam are now number one.

In alphabetical order, they're the first pair in Pointless history.

What do you think about that?

(YAWNING) It's brilliant(!)

I'm really glad you do that, Rich, because I think that's good.

-You a bit tired?

-No, I wasn't before, but suddenly...

LAUGHTER

-And in last place, it's Zoe and Yolanda.

-Yes. Yeah.

I'll tell you what's really nice about your matrix, is the way

you've cut out photographs of them and pasted them onto your wall.

I have a shrine to every single Pointless contestant ever.

There are a couple you've put crosses through. I'm not sure why.

I remember noticing that and thinking, "That's a bit odd.

-"Why's he done that?"

-Occasionally, a contestant disappoints me.

LAUGHTER

Doesn't happen often!

But, you know, occasionally. Round One today is a cracker, I think.

Lots of fun, Round One.

Good. Looking forward to that. Thanks, Richard.

Now, all our questions on Pointless have been put

to 100 people before the show.

Our contestants need to the obscure answers those 100 people didn't get.

Everyone's trying to find a pointless answer, that being an

answer that none of our 100 people gave,

and each time that happens, we will add 250 quid to the Jackpot.

Now, Matt and Anna won the Jackpot last time,

so today's Jackpot starts off back at £1,000.

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

OK, so the pair with the highest score at the end of this

round will be eliminated.

I'm just going to remind you, there is

to be no conferring in this round.

Our first category today is...

It's Film.

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

who's going to go second?

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

OK, and the question concerns...

Oh, that's going to be brilliant!

Film titles in other languages. Richard.

On each pass, we're going to show you the names of seven familiar

films, but in a different language,

the name in which they were released in other countries.

You just have to tell us what the film is in English, please.

Going to be 14 in all to work out at home, so very, very best of luck.

Thanks very much indeed.

So, we are looking for the English translations,

or the English titles, of these films.

And here's our first board of seven. We have...

RICHARD LAUGHS

I'll read those all again, possibly quicker.

Right, now then. Phew.

Lorna, Ruth, you all drew lots before the show,

and today, you're going to go first. Lorna, have you seen any of those?

-This is outrageous!

-Oh, no!

-It is!

-Yeah.

-OK. Right.

Let's have a crack.

Laranja Mecanica.

I'm going to have a crack at Clockwork Orange.

-You're going to say Clockwork Orange.

-Yeah.

Let's see if that's right, and if it is, let's see how

many of our 100 people said Clockwork Orange.

Exactly right. Well done.

Look at that! Nine. Single figures, Lorna.

That's a great score. Good answer. Clockwork Orange, Laranja Mecanica.

Absolutely. Well done. A Clockwork Orange.

It looks hard at first, cos different languages and stuff,

but actually, if you look at a few of those,

there's little clues here and there in various different languages.

Clockwork Orange, very good start to the round. Very well played.

Thank you. Anyway, there we go. Brenda, welcome to the show.

Great to have you here. What do you do, Brenda?

I'm an office manager in a tiling company, a small tiling company.

Tell us something unusual about yourself, Brenda.

I suppose it is unusual, I've got really hot hands.

That's good.

It's a problem when you're eating chocolate, so you have to

kind of eat really quickly otherwise it all melts everywhere!

I imagine if you were a chemist or something...

Well, I am a fully qualified aromatherapist as well,

-so it's really good for that. For massage, it's perfect.

-Wow.

Do people often go, "Ooh! Ah! Ooh!" "That's hot!"?

-And again, for baking, probably not a good thing.

-It's not good, no.

I can do baking if it doesn't involve pastry.

Just have to wear oven gloves to do the kneading maybe. OK.

Now then, Brenda. What are the names of these films in English?

There's a few I can guess at,

but the strange thing is the top one, German.

My mother's German and really I should be able to work that one out.

-Brenda!

-I know! I know. Erm...

With the other ones,

it's picking which one's going to be the least obvious, but...

-I'm going for Les Dents De La Mer.

-Yeah?

-Is it Jaws?

Les Dents De La Mer? Is it Jaws? Let's find out. Les Dents De La Mer.

Is it Jaws?

It IS Jaws! Very well done.

-13.

-Well done!

-Well done, Brenda, that's a great answer. 13 for Jaws.

Well played, Brenda. Literally translated as The Teeth Of The Sea.

Very, very well worked out. I saw the French version of Jaws.

At the end it just says "fin".

LAUGHTER

Ange, welcome to Pointless. It's great to have you here.

-What do you do, Ange?

-I work in a warehouse.

Well, I spend more of my time driving around the warehouse

thinking about how to survive the zombie apocalypse.

Erm...

LAUGHTER

How are we going to survive the zombie apocalypse when it comes?

If I stay at the warehouse, brilliant. Food, drink, steel doors.

You've probably got a forklift you can run at them with.

-Yeah, yeah.

-What if the zombie invasion starts inside the warehouse?

The roof.

Oh, that has put a chill on the show, I can tell you now, Ange.

Until then, we'd managed to keep our minds off the impending

zombie apocalypse, but...

It's coming.

You don't need to remind us of that. Erm...

LAUGHTER

When you're not driving around the warehouse

thinking about zombies, Ange, what else do you like to do?

-I like heavy metal music, going to festivals.

-OK.

-What's your favourite heavy metal band?

-Morgue Orgy.

-More gorgy?

-Morgue Orgy.

-Oh, Morgue Orgy.

-Yeah.

-I love Morgue Orgy!

-Don't get me started on Morgue Orgy!

-I can't believe it!

I thought you said "More gorgy", which is a completely different...

That's like talking to your cats, isn't it?

-Saying, "You're more gorgy, aren't you?".

-Yeah, yeah, yeah.

-But Morgue Orgy!

-That's different. I've got a Morgue Orgy tattoo.

LAUGHTER

-Have you?

-I practically AM a Morgue Orgy tattoo.

Such a good name for a band.

ALEXANDER LAUGHS

Oh, Ange. Listen, what about these films in foreign languages?

Well, like Brenda, my mum's Austrian,

so I should really know the top one, but I don't, so...

..I'm going to go for the second one, El Bueno, El Feo, El Malo

and say The Good, The Bad And The Ugly.

Sounds good to me.

Is that right, and if it is, let's see how

many of our 100 people said The Good, The Bad And The Ugly.

It's right.

27.

-27 for The Good, The Bad And The Ugly.

-Well played, Ange.

Funnily enough, it translates as The Good, The Ugly And The Bad.

They thought they'd reorder it. And in Austrian, I have a note,

it's called Two Glorious Scoundrels, The Good, The Bad And The Ugly.

OK, well, thanks very much indeed, Richard.

Adam J, welcome to Pointless. Great to have you here.

What do you do, Adam?

I work as a chemist for a technical consultancy.

What sort of chemistry do you do for them?

Well, it mainly means sitting behind my desk,

but I sometimes go on board ships anywhere in the world.

-So you go on board ships?

-Any oil or chemical carriers.

I see what you mean.

So I usually watch people sample stuff or go to the lab

and watch them test it.

Now, Adam, you're the last person to have this board.

Do you fancy talking us through it and doing your thinking out loud?

I wish I could. Two of the ones I knew have already been taken.

I'm afraid I only know one now, which is

Het Complot Van 39 Stappen, which...

ALEXANDER LAUGHS

Which I believe is The 39 Steps, but I think that might be pretty high.

OK, well, let's see if The 39 Steps is right for the Dutch one,

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

It's right.

27 is our high score at the moment.

39 is our new high score. There we are, Adam.

-39, which is somehow appropriate.

-Yes, good that, isn't it?

Translates at The Conspiracy Of The 39 Steps.

In Belgium, they called it The Man With The Cut Finger.

-Why?

-Cos the chief baddie in that, he can dress up as anyone

-but he can't hide the fact that he's lost a finger.

-Yeah, yeah.

Let's fill in the rest of this board. Not too much to fill in.

-Now, El Padrino.

-I'll have a shot at that one.

-I think it's The Godfather.

-It IS The Godfather, yes.

That would've scored you 19. The bottom one.

-I'll have a crack at that as well.

-Yeah.

-I think it's Up.

-Absolutely right, it is Up, and only 15 people got it.

-Wow.

I thought that was the easiest one on the board.

Given the date and the year, I agree, but it caused people problems.

The hardest one on the board is the top one,

-which everyone was struggling with.

-Yeah.

-It's a direct translation of The Incredibles.

-Ah!

That would've scored you two points.

-Very well done to the German speakers who got that.

-Good.

Thank you. There we are. We're halfway through the round.

Let's take a look at the scores.

Nine, the best score of that pass, Lorna. Very well done to you.

Then we travel up to 13, where we find Brenda and Steve, then up

to 27, where we find Ange and Lee, and then 39, where the Adams are.

Not too far out in front there, Adam and Adam.

Adam, you get first dibs on the next board, so yes, pick a nice, low

one and maybe that will be enough to see you through to the next round.

Best of luck. Back down the line now.

Can the second players please step up to the podium?

OK, let's put seven more foreign film titles on the board,

and here they come.

We have got...

I'll read those all one last time.

Now, remember, Adam B, we are

looking for the English translations of these films,

and as ever, you're trying

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

Now, Adam, what do you do?

-I'm a volunteer manager for an education charity.

-Good for you.

-How long have you done that for?

-About 18 months now.

What's that involve?

I try to get more people to volunteer as school governors.

Excellent. Are you having any success with that?

We're doing all right at the moment. We still obviously need more,

so anyone out there looking for a voluntary role...

Press the red button now.

LAUGHTER

Good for you. Listen, you're the high scorers at the moment, Adam B.

What we need form you is a nice, low score.

They're all really tough.

Coming from Gloucester, I can barely speak English properly as it is!

I'm going to go for...

-..Hennen Rennen, which I believe is Chicken Run.

-Chicken Run, says Adam.

Let's see if that's right.

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

but let's see how far down the column you get with Chicken Run.

It's right.

Four!

Adam, that is fantastic. It's exactly what you needed it to be.

43 is your total.

I hope that's enough to see you on to the next round.

That's very well worked out, Adam, I would say. Very, very tough answer.

Four points. In Japan, it's Called Chicken, Chicken, Run, Run.

LAUGHTER

-Yeah.

-Really?

-Yeah.

-What do they call Chitty Chitty Bang Bang then?

That's called Chitty Chitty Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Bang Bang.

LAUGHTER

-Thanks very much indeed. Now, Lee, welcome to the show.

-Thank you.

What do you do, Lee?

I work in a sports manufacturing warehouse.

Is your warehouse any better suited to the invasion of the zombies

when it comes?

-Yeah, cos we've got better security.

-Good, that is a relief.

What are your hobbies, Lee?

Pretty much the same as Ange but I also throw in a bit of football

and playing games on the PlayStation.

-What's your favourite game?

-Fallout 3.

-OK.

-Which is a post-apocalyptic game.

-Now, that does feature the undead, please tell me it does.

-It does.

Yeah, there we are. Good, that's a relief.

Now, Lee, what are you going to go for?

You're on 27, the high scorers on 43 are the Adams over there.

This is terrible for me.

If you can score 15 or less though, Lee, you're in the next round.

There's two that I've got an idea of.

I will go with Regresso Ao Futuro for Back To The Future.

Back To The Future.

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

There's your red line. Get below that, you're in Round Two.

It's right.

32.

APPLAUSE

32 takes your total to 59.

That may not be game over for you, that might be all right. Richard.

Well played, Lee. Not a bad score at all.

-It's a good round, this, isn't it?

-Isn't it? Yeah.

Now then, Steve, welcome. Great to have you here.

-What do you do, Steve?

-I'm a silversmith.

-Are you?

-Yes.

What sort of things do you make?

Well, I've made trophies over the years,

quite important trophies,

but I suppose my biggest claim to fame is

on the 25th anniversary of Tubular Bells,

there's a silver tubular bells on the front cover -

-I made those tubular bells.

-Wow.

Which they presented, I understand, to Mike Oldfield

-when I'd finished with them.

-Good stuff.

Now then, well, Steve, you're on 13.

The high scorers, currently,

Lee and Ange on 59 so 45 or less gets you into the next round.

There's three I know

but I don't know which of the three to really have a punt at.

I think...

I think it could be the most obscure,

I'll go for La Fievre Du Samedi Soir in my best Essex accent.

I believe that to be Saturday Night Fever.

Saturday Night Fever says Steve. There's your red line.

Get below that and you are through to Round Two.

Saturday Night Fever, how many of our 100 people said that?

Very well done, you've done it.

16, Steve.

APPLAUSE

Great answer, 29 is your score.

Very well played, Steve.

I know there's an awful lot of GCSE and O-level French going on out

there as everyone's going, "Samedi, I know Samedi is...Sun...oh, Saturday.

"Soir...oh, Saturday night. Fievre, must be fever."

-That's how I worked it out.

-Mmm. Exactly the same for me.

-Thanks very much, Richard. Now, Ruth.

-Hello.

-Welcome back.

Thank you.

We discovered last time that your main hobby is sherry.

I wouldn't say my main hobby.

All I said was, "What do you do with your life?"

And you just said, "Sherry."

If you're paraphrasing, OK, we'll go with that.

Besides sherry, what else do you like?

Gin?

Well, it's a bit weird but Lorna and I, we're both in our early 30s

and we both go home to our mum and dad's for dinner every night still.

Oh, that's nice.

I'm married so my husband lives on fish fingers

while I have home-cooked food from my mum.

Is he invited to your mum and dad's?

My mum will sometimes make something and pack it up

and I'll heat it up for him but other than that...

I really like that you have dinner with your mum and dad, I think

-that's nice.

-Well, we have to watch Pointless with them, obviously.

-Awww.

-We have a little family gathering around the telly.

When you're on Pointless, will he be invited then?

Hmmm, it depends if he buys me a present.

I'd recommend a bottle of sherry.

LAUGHTER

Now then, Ruth, do you fancy having a go at all the other ones?

I'll give it a go. I think I know them all except for the top one.

So, let's say the second one is possibly Schindler's List.

I think the next one down may be Dumb And Dumber

but I'm not sure about that one and then the bottom one, I think,

is Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs

so I don't know if I chance Dumb And Dumber.

Ah, Dumb And Dumber, let's go with that.

OK, Ruth says Dumb And Dumber.

You want to score 49 or less to get through to the next round.

Gutsy call. Dumb And Dumber, is that right?

It is right, well done.

Very well done, Ruth, you are through to the next round.

This is going to be a very impressive low score.

It is, 2.

11 is your total, Ruth,

the lowest score of the round by a margin.

APPLAUSE

Well done, Ruth, that's the way to play Pointless as well,

that was a very brave move cos you did know the others and,

actually, you would have got through with any of the answers that

you knew but that was terrific.

Now, the one you didn't know, the top one, Toro Scatenato.

I think it's Raging Bull.

It is Raging Bull, yeah, toro meaning bull of course.

That would've scored you 12.

You were right about the second one down, that's Schindler's List.

That would've scored you 37.

And the bottom one, I forget how you pronounce it, Xander, but...

HE READS TITLE

Yeah, Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs.

Dwergen is where we get the word "twerk" from.

LAUGHTER

And that would've scored you 19 points.

Very well done if you went all the way through that board.

If you've got some language skills and you know a bit about films,

it's possible to work most of them out, wasn't it?

Although Dumb And Dumber, tough to work out, unless it comes to you.

Very good, thanks, Richard.

So, at the end of our first round, the pair who will be heading

home, I'm so sorry, to wrestle with the zombies...

59, that's not a terrible score by any stretch.

You've done very well there

but I'm sorry we have to say goodbye to you cos you're enormous fun

but we'll have you back on Pointless next time.

Lee and Ange, thanks very much for playing, great contestants.

APPLAUSE

But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.

And so three pairs remain.

We'll be saying goodbye to another pair at the end of this round.

Well, Lorna and Ruth, I don't think it's going to be you.

I'd say Lora and Ruth are the class swots at this stage

but it could go any way. Best of luck to all three pairs.

The category for Round Two today is...

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

and who's going to go second?

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

OK, let's find out what the question is.

We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...

English football clubs in the top four divisions. Richard.

Yeah, simple one this.

Just looking for any English football club in the top four divisions,

that's the Premiership down to League Two, please, at the start of the 2013/14 season.

So, any of those 92 league teams.

Very best of luck in the studio and at home as well.

Thanks very much indeed. OK, so, Ruth, we start with you.

The one thing I didn't want was football.

Well, I say the one thing,

I wouldn't have wanted cricket or golf either.

I'm just going to have to say, I know some teams,

but shall we say Coventry City?

Coventry City says Ruth.

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

It's right. It could be a brilliant score this, Ruth,

10.

APPLAUSE

Really not bad at all.

Well done, Ruth. It's nice, this one, cos everyone's got an answer.

There's no specialised knowledge needed, really. Yeah, Coventry City.

Thanks, Richard.

Now, Steve, you didn't look that happy with this as a question.

Rugby man throughout my entire life, I'm afraid.

I think I'll go for Queens Park Rangers.

Queens Park Rangers says Steve.

Let's see how many of our 100 people said that, let's see if it's right.

It is right.

Well, Ruth kicked off with a score of 10.

QPR down to 11. There we are, not bad.

APPLAUSE

Not bad at all, Steve.

These are all going to be quite low scores cos everyone

got 100 seconds to name as many as you can

so there are some quite low scores even for teams like QPR

and Coventry who I know people at home will think are very well known.

But there's plenty of very, very low scores as well,

-maybe even a pointless in there, you never know.

-Wow. Oh, let's hope.

Thanks very much. Now, Adam.

Adam, I think you're going to be very good at this.

Well, it's better than the last one, I can tell you that.

Being from a rugby-mad city like Gloucester, I'm going

to go with the nearest football town to us which is Cheltenham Town.

Cheltenham Town says Adam.

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

It's right.

11 is our high score, 10 our low.

You've passed both of those, down to 1.

Very well done, Adam B.

APPLAUSE

Well played, Adam, that's a terrific answer.

Yeah, Cheltenham Town,

one of those teams you don't traditionally think of as a

league team cos they came up from the lower leagues, from the non-leagues.

Thanks, Richard. Now, we're halfway through the round.

Let's take a look at the scores.

1 is the best score of that pass, Adam, very well done,

putting the Adams pair in a very strong position.

Then up to 10 where we find Ruth and Lorna and then up to 11,

Steve and Brenda so it's in your hands, Brenda.

You're the high scorers at this stage.

A nice low score from you will see you into the head-to-head.

OK, can the second players please take their places at the podium?

OK, Adam J, we're looking for any football club

in the top four divisions.

You're on 1 so a score of 9 or less sees you into the head-to-head.

OK.

Well, I'm thinking I might go local to me as well like Adam did

and I'm going to go for Tranmere Rovers.

Tranmere Rovers says Adam.

There's your red line, get below that and you're through.

How many of our 100 people said Tranmere Rovers?

Very well done, 4.

APPLAUSE

4 takes your total up to 5, Adam, very well done to you.

Very well played on podium four, isn't it?

Five points across two answers. Yeah, very good answer, Tranmere Rovers.

-Thanks, Rich. Now, Brenda.

-Yeah.

-Brenda.

-But it's all right.

-Is it?

-Just go local.

That's the message here.

Are there any divisions below the ones that you've mentioned?

Yeah.

Not too local.

I'm just thinking about a football team

and they might even be lower than those, I don't know.

-I'll go for it, Leyton Orient.

-Leyton Orient.

OK, well, let's find out.

No red line for you as you're the high scorers

but how many of our 100 people said Leyton Orient?

It's right.

Good answer, 7.

APPLAUSE

18 is your total, Brenda.

Well played, Brenda. Yeah, terrific team.

-Barry Hearn is the chairman there.

-Thanks, Rich. Now, Lorna.

-Lorna, you have to score 7 or less.

-Yeah, fine.

Have you got a good answer?

I've got a few floating around in my head.

I don't know whether to go local or not.

Let's go for Doncaster Rovers.

Doncaster Rovers says Lorna.

Here's your red line. Quite low down.

Get below that and you're in the next round.

Doncaster Rovers, is that right and if it is, how many people said it?

Oh, 7 is exactly what you needed. 7 is exactly what you got.

Takes your total up to 17, very well done indeed.

Well, how about that? That's the way to end a round, isn't it?

Well played everyone in that round, there's some terrific answers there.

Now, I know people at home will be going for nice obscure ones.

There is one pointless answer out of the 92 teams and that is...

Well done if you said that,

the only pointless team at the start of the 2013/14 season.

I will go through some of the ones, twos and threes

because I know people will want to hear them.

One point for Rotherham United, Shrewsbury Town, Bury, Watford,

unbelievably, Northampton Town, Mansfield Town, Burton Albion

as well as Exeter City, Fleetwood Town and Stevenage.

Two points for AFC Wimbledon, Torquay United, Newport County,

Walsall, Chesterfield.

Three points for Notts County, Peterborough United,

Wycombe Wanderers, Yeovil Town, York City,

Colchester United and Morecambe.

Just to give you a few other results.

West Bromwich Albion beat Wolves 16-13.

How about this for a tight one?

Southampton 19, Portsmouth 18. That must have been quite a game.

And Swansea City beat Cardiff 21-19.

Well, thank you very much indeed, Richard.

So, at the end of our second round,

the pair who'll be travelling home with their high score of 18,

I mean, really, very low-scoring round, it's Brenda and Steve

and that was so close.

A real nail-biter at the end there.

I thought you'd done enough, I really did.

Steve, who would your local team be in Romford?

-Dagenham and Redbridge.

-Hmmm.

LAUGHTER

-OK.

-Didn't know they were in top four. Hadn't a clue.

Anyway, we'll see you next time, Brenda and Steve,

looking forward to that very much, but thanks

so much for playing meanwhile, Brenda and Steve.

APPLAUSE

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

Congratulations, Lorna and Ruth, Adam and Adam.

You are now one step closer to the final and a chance to play

for our jackpot which currently stands at £1,000.

We have to decide who is going through to the final

and play for that money and to do that,

you are now going head-to-head,

the difference being you're now allowed to confer and, of course,

the first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.

I think this is going to be a very tight head-to-head.

Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play it.

OK, here is your first question and it concerns...

OK, Rich.

We're going to show you five pictures now of people born in Scotland

but with Italian ancestry.

Can you name the most obscure of these people? Very best of luck.

Thanks very much indeed.

OK, let's reveal our five Italian-Scots and here they come.

We have got...

There we are, five famous Italian-Scots.

Lorna and Ruth, you played best throughout the show so far

so you will go first.

Em, we're struggling.

The only one we're confident of is E and that's Sharleen Spiteri.

OK, Sharleen Spiteri. Now, Adams.

Do you think you can talk us through the board?

Eh, we think A is Peter Capaldi. B is Paul di Resta.

I think C is Tom Conti. And D, I'm not quite sure of.

So, I think, probably, the best answer would be Paul di Resta?

-Yeah.

-B.

-OK, you're going to say B is Paul di Resta.

Lorna and Ruth have said Sharleen Spiteri for E.

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

It is, of course, right.

20.

APPLAUSE

Not bad at all. The Adams have said that B is Paul di Resta.

Let's see if that's right

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

Very well done, you win the point. 7.

APPLAUSE

Well done, Adams. After one question, you are up 1-0.

Well played, Adam and Adam.

Yeah, the Formula 1 racing driver, Paul di Resta.

You're right about Peter Capaldi as well, Doctor Who, of course.

He would have scored you 21 points.

C, you're right, is Tom Conti. He would have scored 23.

And I think you know D is the Scottish artist...

I'm guessing is it Jack Vettriano?

It's Jack Vettriano, it absolutely is, and would've scored you 3 points.

Very well done if you said that.

Thanks very much indeed. OK, here comes your second question.

Now, Lorna and Ruth, you won't get to answer this one first

but you have to win it to stay in the game so good luck.

Second question concerns...

Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies, Richard.

We're going to show you five clues now to Looney Tunes

and Merrie Melodies cartoons.

Can you give us the best answer, please?

Thanks very much. Let's reveal our five clues, here they come.

We have got...

I'll read those all one last time.

HE REPEATS CLUES

Adam and Adam, up and at 'em.

I think we're going to go for the Martian character,

I think that's Marvin the Martian.

Marvin the Martian say the Adams.

Now then, Lorna and Ruth,

how many of the other ones do you think you know?

Eh, maybe two. Only one for sure, really.

We're going to have to go for Foghorn Leghorn.

Foghorn Leghorn versus Marvin the Martian.

Adam and Adam said Marvin the Martian.

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

It is right.

Oh, that's a great answer, 7.

Very well done indeed, Adam and Adam.

APPLAUSE

Lorna and Ruth have said Foghorn Leghorn.

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

Well, it's right.

It's going to have to beat 7 though if you're going to stay in the game.

I'm afraid not, 46, wow.

APPLAUSE

Very well done, Adam and Adam.

After only two questions, you're through to the final, 2-0.

That's impressive stuff from Adam and Adam, isn't it?

Very well played, 7 on both boards there.

Now, the top one,

it's the voice artist who did the voice for everyone,

he did Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Foghorn Leghorn, Pepe Le Pew,

Barney Rubble, Tweety Pie, he did all of them,

it was Mel Blanc and he would have scored you 10 points.

Now, the bottom one, let's look at that.

Another Mel Blanc voice, actually, that was Porky Pig.

Big score though, 67 points.

And the middle one is a pointless answer.

Very well done if you said One Froggy Evening.

-Very, very well done if you said that at home.

-Thanks very much, Richard.

So, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,

I'm afraid, Lorna and Ruth.

Well, you've done very well today, it's been a great show from you,

wonderful low scoring, particularly in that first round.

It's been great having you on both shows,

thanks so much for playing, Lorna and Ruth.

APPLAUSE

But for Adam and Adam, it's now time for our Pointless final.

Congratulations, Adam and Adam, you've seen off all

the competition and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.

You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot

and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £1,000.

Well, you've done phenomenally well today.

First round, not bad at all. Second round, exemplary.

That really was very good and then into the head-to-head,

you scored two 7s, a 2-0 victory.

OK, well, as always, you kick this round off by choosing the category

you want to answer questions on and your four choices are these...

The Netherlands?

Either bestselling albums or the Netherlands

and I would think the Netherlands might be a good one.

The Netherlands could have something to do with sport anyway so...

-I think we're going to go...

-The Netherlands?

-The Netherlands.

The Netherlands. OK, the Netherlands, it is.

Yeah, you've cleverly truffled out the sport question there, actually.

Let's take a look at the three options, one of them is a sporting one.

We're looking for the name of any feature film made for cinema

release for which Paul Verhoeven received a director's credit.

We're looking for any member of the Euro 2012 football team,

anyone who played for Holland in Euro 2012, including unused substitutes.

Or we're looking for any of the ten members of the Dutch Royal House

so any Paul Verhoeven film,

any member of the Euro 2012 football team including unused subs,

or any members of the Dutch Royal House

and all the information's up to August 2013.

-Very, very best of luck, guys.

-Thanks very much indeed.

So, as always, you have up to a minute to come up with three

answers and all you need to win that jackpot of £1,000 is

just for one of those to be pointless.

Now, remember, the answers you give can come from any of these categories.

How you spread them across the categories is up to you.

They could all come from the football category or

the Paul Verhoeven films. It's entirely up to you. Are you ready?

-BOTH:

-Yes.

-OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.

There they are, your time starts now.

OK, from the Swans, there's Michel Vorm. Ron Vlaar for Aston Villa.

-What's that...Kevin...?

-Kevin De Bruyne. He's Belgian.

What about any films from Paul Verhoeven?

I can only think of Total Recall, to be honest.

That'll be quite popular.

Concentrate on football then, I suppose. So...

-Stekelenburg.

-Yeah, yeah.

-Who's the left back?

-So, we've got Vorm, Stekelenburg.

-Ricky van Wolfswinkel.

Van Hennegoor of Hesselink wasn't playing at that point.

He wasn't, no. That would have been a great one.

-This is difficult.

-Running out now.

-Dutch players.

-Shall we go for Vorm...

-Vlaar?

-..Vlaar and...Maarten Stekelenburg?

OK, that's your time up. I now need your three answers.

-They're all going to be from the Euro 2012 Dutch football team.

-OK.

-We're going for Michel Vorm...

-Michel Vorm.

-..is it Michael Stekelenburg?

-Mikael, Michael.

Mikael Stekelenburg.

-Mikael Stekelenburg.

-And Ron Vlaar.

-And Ron Vlaar.

OK. Those are your three answers.

Of those three, which do you think is your best shot?

I think, possibly, Michel Vorm.

Michel Vorm, OK, we will put that last. Least likely?

-Stekelenburg.

-Stekelenburg.

-Stekelenburg, we'll put first.

OK, let's pop those up on the board in that order and here they are.

We have got...

Three excellent answers.

So, we are looking in all three cases for members of the Dutch

2012 European Championships.

Let's go with your first answer which was Mikael Stekelenburg.

-You said this was probably your least likely.

-Yeah.

-We think it's wrong as well now.

-Oh, really?

-Have you just suddenly had a moment of realisation?

-Yeah.

We think his name is Maarten.

Well, there are at least two good answers on that board.

Now, let's just imagine, maybe one of these is a pointless answer

and if you were to win £1,000, what would you do with that?

-I think a hell of a night down the pub.

-Yeah.

Sounds reasonable. OK, now, let's find out.

That first answer, Mikael Stekelenburg, let's see

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

No.

As you knew, an incorrect answer.

OK, now we move on to slightly firmer ground

with your second answer, Ron Vlaar.

Let's find out - again, you've put him forward

as a member of the Dutch 2012 European Championships team,

let's see if that's right,

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

For £1,000, it has to be pointless.

Well, it's right.

Mikael Stekelenburg turned out to be an incorrect answer,

but Ron Vlaar very much a correct answer,

taking us down through the 20s and the teens,

into single figures, down it goes, still going down...

You've done it! Oh, no, 1.

1!

I thought I was going all the way down, there.

-Bit disappointing.

-Yeah.

Ron Vlaar. Only 1 point. This is good.

-Cos we can go one better than Ron Vlaar.

-Hopefully.

You had no hesitation at putting Michel Vorm down there

as your most likely...

-Swansea City fan, so hopefully he should be in there.

-OK.

Well, let's hope there weren't any Swansea City fans in our 100.

Your third and final answer, Michel Vorm.

Let's find out, for £1,000.

Was he a member of the Dutch 2012 European Championships team -

is he pointless?

Well, he's right, that's the main thing.

Mikael Stekelenburg turned out to be an incorrect answer,

Ron Vlaar very much a correct answer,

took us all the way down to 1.

Michel Vorm, can he take you down to pointless? Down he goes,

still going... Yes, you've done it! Very well done indeed.

Brilliant, very well done, superb.

Brilliantly done.

Richly deserved, though.

Oh! Congratulations, Michel Vorm was a pointless answer,

which means you go home with our jackpot of £1,000.

Very well done, Adam and Adam.

-Richard.

-How about that? Been brilliant throughout.

Every round you've been terrific, well played.

All the way through your 60 seconds

you were calling him Maarten Stekelenburg,

it was only it was at the last second, you called him Mikael.

Yeah, he's the Fulham keeper,

he would have scored you 1 point as well.

-So, would have been more exciting.

-Yeah!

-But, you know. That's fair enough. You won anyway.

-That's great.

Now, let's take a look at the pointless answers

in all the different categories.

The first one is Paul Verhoeven.

Business Is Business, that was his first full-length film.

Soldier of Orange, you could have had. Fourth Man.

His 2012 user-generated film Tricked, as well, as well,

all of those were pointless. Well done if you said any of those.

Now, the Euro 2012. Plenty of pointless answers here.

Khalid Boulahrouz. There's Michel Vorm, the Swansea keeper.

Well played. And Tim Krul, the Newcastle keeper,

also would have been a pointless answer.

Wilfred Bouma, I think Aston Villa fans might remember him.

You also could have had, in that category,

Gregory van der Wiel, Ibrahim Afellay was a pointless answer.

Willems, Strootman, Narsingh, Luuk de Jong was a pointless answer,

well done if you said any of those.

And the Dutch royal house, if anyone at home has had a go at this,

very well done.

I know we've got lots of viewers in the Netherlands,

so I suspect this has been rather a good category for some of them.

All of those were pointless, well done if you said any of those.

You've been brilliant throughout, guys, very well done,

-a jackpot very, very well earned.

-Thanks very much indeed, Richard.

Well, thanks once again to our winning players,

Adam and Adam, who go away with today's jackpot of £1,000.

APPLAUSE

Join us next time,

when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.

-Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...

-Goodbye.

And it's goodbye from me, goodbye.
