0:00:13 > 0:00:15AUDIENCE APPLAUDS
0:00:21 > 0:00:22Thank you very much indeed. Hello.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24I'm Alexander Armstrong, and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:24 > 0:00:27the show where the aim of the game is to score as few points as you can.
0:00:27 > 0:00:31And you do that by coming up with the answers no-one else could think of.
0:00:31 > 0:00:32Let's meet today's players.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35AUDIENCE APPLAUDS
0:00:36 > 0:00:38And couple number one.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40Hello. I'm Chris. I'm from Halesowen.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43And this is my daughter-in-law, Beth. She's from Warwickshire.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45And couple number two?
0:00:45 > 0:00:49Hello. I'm Shereene, this is my civil partner Rachael, and we're from Birmingham.
0:00:49 > 0:00:50And couple number three.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54Hi. I'm Ann, this is Vicky, and we're work colleagues from Liverpool.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56And finally, couple number four.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Hi. I'm Annie, this is my boyfriend Chris, and we live in London.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01And these are today's contestants.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03AUDIENCE APPLAUDS
0:01:03 > 0:01:04Thanks, all of you.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07We'll find out more about you throughout the show, as it goes along.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09So that leaves just one more person for me to introduce,
0:01:09 > 0:01:12as welcome as finding a tenner in an old pair of jeans.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15A tenor like Russell Watson, I'm thinking.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17It's my Pointless friend - it's Richard.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Hiya. Hi, everybody. Hiya.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24- Afternoon.- And to you.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26- How are you?- I'm very well, thank you.- Excellent.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28- Now, we've got two returning pairs today.- Yes.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32But, erm, I think both pairs didn't cover themselves in glory last time.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35- And there's a couple of people with some making up to do, as well, I think.- Yeah.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38- Shereene, for one. - Yeah. Interesting globe.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41Yeah. She let Rachael down quite badly, I think.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43I've checked - she's fine.
0:01:43 > 0:01:44SHEREENE CHUCKLES
0:01:44 > 0:01:47- OK? But Rachael, you weren't happy, Rachael, were you?- No.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49And, uh, Chris and Annie, at the end there, as well.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Chris's ambition is simply just to get a right answer.
0:01:52 > 0:01:53THEY LAUGH
0:01:53 > 0:01:55That's all he wants.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57Looking at round one... yeah, good luck.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59THEY LAUGH
0:01:59 > 0:02:00Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03All questions on today's show have been asked to 100 people before the show.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07Our contestants must find the answers the fewest of those 100 people gave.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Of course, everyone's trying to find a pointless answer -
0:02:09 > 0:02:12that's an answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15And each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17Now, Brenda and Steve didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:02:17 > 0:02:19so we add another £1,000 to that.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22So today's jackpot starts off at...
0:02:22 > 0:02:24..£2,000 - there we are.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37Now, remember, the pair with the highest score at the end of the round will be eliminated.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39And obviously, remember, also,
0:02:39 > 0:02:41that you are not allowed to confer during this round.
0:02:41 > 0:02:42Best of luck.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Our first category today is:
0:02:47 > 0:02:51Can you decide in your pairs who's going first, who's going second?
0:02:51 > 0:02:54And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:03:01 > 0:03:08to name as many post-war multiple Olympic gold medal winners as they could.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Post-war multiple gold-medal winners, Richard.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Specifically, we're looking for any sportsperson
0:03:13 > 0:03:16who's won five or more gold medals at a Summer Olympics
0:03:16 > 0:03:19any time between 1948 and 2012, please.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21So, anyone who's won five or more gold medals.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24It can be in an individual event or a team event.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Er, lots of names on the list.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Lots of obscure ones, but there's a few you'll know as well.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31So, very best of luck in the studio, very best of luck at home.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Thanks very much indeed.
0:03:33 > 0:03:34Now, then, Chris and Beth,
0:03:34 > 0:03:38you all drew lots before the show, and today you are going to go first.
0:03:38 > 0:03:39Beth, you've stepped up first.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Welcome to the show. Good to have you here, Beth.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43- What do you do?- I'm a teacher.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45- What sort of age do you teach? - Secondary.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48So 11 to 18, but mostly up in the sixth form, luckily.
0:03:48 > 0:03:53- What's your subject?- Erm, I teach psychology and sociology.- OK.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56- And you're Chris's daughter-in-law?- Yes.- OK.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58- Whose idea was it to come on the show?- It was Chris's idea.
0:03:58 > 0:04:05Actually, he approached my husband - so I am the second choice - first, but I am here as the runner-up.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Chris, did you...?
0:04:07 > 0:04:11Is that how you phrased it to Beth - "Listen, he can't come. Can you?"
0:04:11 > 0:04:14- Is that the...?- That is not how I would phrase it at all.- No. No. No.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18- It was far worse. - It...it was my idea.
0:04:18 > 0:04:22- My son originally wanted to take part, and then chickened out.- Right.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24OK, Beth, you've got to show him.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27- How's the Olympics as an area for you?- Not great.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30I was getting married during London 2012,
0:04:30 > 0:04:34so, erm, I'm going to go absolutely safe, and it will be a huge score.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36But it won't be 100, I hope.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40- What's it going to be? - Steve Redgrave.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Steve Redgrave, says Beth. Steve Redgrave.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Let's see how many of our 100 people said Steve Redgrave.
0:04:47 > 0:04:48Oh, it's right.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52- 61. - AUDIENCE APPLAUDS
0:04:52 > 0:04:5461 - a lot better than 100.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Yes, five golds in five successive Olympics.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Exactly the right thing to do, Beth, I think.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03- Damage limitation that is, isn't it?- Mmm.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05- Thanks, Rich. Now Shereene.- Hello.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Now, Shereene, remind us where Egypt is,
0:05:08 > 0:05:11just for anyone who may not have been watching.
0:05:11 > 0:05:12- It's on the Mediterranean Sea. - ALL LAUGH
0:05:12 > 0:05:15- Yay! I know that now.- Oh, it's moved back - that's nice.- Yeah.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Did it enjoy its holiday in the Pacific, I wonder?
0:05:18 > 0:05:20ALL LAUGH
0:05:20 > 0:05:23Oh, God. Oh, I got a right telling-off when we got back.
0:05:23 > 0:05:24HE LAUGHS
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Now, it's the Olympics - that's good, isn't it?
0:05:27 > 0:05:31- No, not sport.- Oh, no. Shereene.- I know. Erm...
0:05:31 > 0:05:34I'm going to have to go with somebody really, really obvious.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36- Usain Bolt.- Usain Bolt, says Shereene.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40Let's see if that's right and, if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44It's right.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49- 31. - AUDIENCE APPLAUDS
0:05:49 > 0:05:5231 for Usain Bolt.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54That's interesting.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57I'd have thought he might have been a higher score than Steve Redgrave.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00I think maybe, as Shereene was saying, he's quite new.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02- He won three in Beijing and three in London.- Yeah.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05So perhaps people haven't thought that maybe he's got to five.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07- Cos, of course, he won in the relays, as well.- Yeah.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11In Beijing, he won the 100m and 200m, both in world record times.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13The only man ever to do that.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Even you haven't done that.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17- AUDIENCE LAUGHS - Nope, not the both.
0:06:17 > 0:06:18Not the both.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Er, thanks very much, Richard.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23- Vicky, welcome to Pointless. - Hello.- Great to have you here.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26- You are from Liverpool.- I am, yes. - What do you do, Vicky?
0:06:26 > 0:06:29I, er, work for Sefton Council for voluntary service,
0:06:29 > 0:06:34but I run, erm, a mentoring project for guys who are leaving prison.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37When you're not doing that, Vicky, what do you like to do?
0:06:37 > 0:06:38I like a bit of cooking.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40I like to think I'd give Gordon Ramsay a run for his money.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43And I also have four dogs that keep me...
0:06:43 > 0:06:46- That... Sorry. That is fighting talk there, Vicky.- Oh, gosh, yeah.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49You'd like to give Gordon Ramsay a run - let me get this clear -
0:06:49 > 0:06:51- Not a run, but... - ..for his money?
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Yeah, I'd like a cook-off with him.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56OK. Very good. He might be watching. Gordon does watch from time to time.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59- Yeah, he loves it, yeah.- Yeah, yeah. And very, very quick to rise.
0:06:59 > 0:07:00I mean, anyone says anything,
0:07:00 > 0:07:03Gordon's usually right onto the production office, isn't he?
0:07:03 > 0:07:04- Exactly right.- In a temper!
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Yeah. So, yeah, that, erm...
0:07:06 > 0:07:07It's like when we had Elaine from Coventry
0:07:07 > 0:07:11who said she could beat Mike Tyson in a fight, and next day he was...
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Gordon Ramsay turned up to fight her, didn't he?
0:07:13 > 0:07:15- The alternate, yeah.- I don't know...
0:07:15 > 0:07:18She wasn't even throwing the gauntlet down at him, and he came.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21- Amazing.- Yeah.- He will fight anyone. - He came round all greased up, ready to fight.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24- I'm ready.- What was the grease about? I've no idea.
0:07:24 > 0:07:25ALL LAUGH That was a bit weird, wasn't it?
0:07:25 > 0:07:28Maybe he'd just been in a cook-off. I don't know.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30ALL LAUGH
0:07:30 > 0:07:34Now, then, Vicky. Olympians. Is this good for you?
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Not particularly good. Erm...
0:07:37 > 0:07:40I'm sort of casting my mind back a little bit
0:07:40 > 0:07:45to when I used to play a little computer game on my Atari,
0:07:45 > 0:07:48and I'm going to say... Daley Thompson?
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Daley Thompson, says Vicky.
0:07:50 > 0:07:51Let's see if Daley Thompson's right
0:07:51 > 0:07:54and let's see how many people said Daley Thompson.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00Oh, no! Vicky, I'm sorry. Atari has let you down.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Sorry - Daley Thompson an incorrect answer.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Scores you the maximum of 100 points.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07Sorry, Vicky. Definitely one of Britain's greatest athletes,
0:08:07 > 0:08:09but only two gold medals for Daley Thompson.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11- Annie, welcome back to Pointless. - Thank you.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13What's going to be your dream subject today?
0:08:13 > 0:08:16What's the sort of thing you've been crossing your fingers for?
0:08:16 > 0:08:19- Probably musicals, or something like that.- Right.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22We do a lot of amateur theatre, so I'm hoping that the knowledge is...
0:08:22 > 0:08:23- Seeped in.- ..quite strong. Yep.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26We go to the theatre a lot as well, so that would be ideal.
0:08:26 > 0:08:27OK. Very good.
0:08:27 > 0:08:32Now, who's your Olympian going to be, your multiple gold-winning Olympian?
0:08:32 > 0:08:34When I was younger, I used to want to be a gymnast,
0:08:34 > 0:08:37so I'm going to say someone who I think is an American gymnast,
0:08:37 > 0:08:41who I think was fairly successful, and her name is Shannon Miller.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Shannon Miller, says Annie. Shannon Miller. Let's see if that's right.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48And if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Shannon Miller.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Oh, no! Bad luck, Annie. I'm sorry.
0:08:54 > 0:08:55An incorrect answer,
0:08:55 > 0:08:58which means you score the maximum of 100 points, sorry.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02I think a perfectly good wrong answer, though, Annie. It's a good way to go.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05And she won two golds at Atlanta, Shannon Miller.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08Two! ALL LAUGH
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Oh, dear! It's laughable, isn't it?
0:09:10 > 0:09:13- What did she put in the rest of her pocket, I wonder?- I know, right?
0:09:13 > 0:09:16- Cos it must have been mostly empty. Oh, dear.- Oh, goodness me.- Yeah.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19She can never leave the house without people calling her "Two-Golds".
0:09:19 > 0:09:21"Oi, Two-Golds! Oi! Oi!"
0:09:21 > 0:09:25And there she goes with the, "Two golds. Agh."
0:09:25 > 0:09:26ALL LAUGH That's embarrassing.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Well, listen, I'll stop you there, Richard, cos we're halfway through the round.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32I think it's important that we look at the scores as they stand.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35At 31, very much the best score of that pass,
0:09:35 > 0:09:36Shereene - very well done indeed.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Then up to 61, where we find Beth and Chris,
0:09:39 > 0:09:43then up to 100, where we find Vicky and Ann, and Annie and Chris.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46Yes, it's going to be between you, Ann, and you, Chris,
0:09:46 > 0:09:49to see who stays with us and who leaves at the end of the round.
0:09:49 > 0:09:50So, very, very best of luck to both of you.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54We're going to come back down the line now. Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:09:56 > 0:09:58OK, so remember, we are looking for people
0:09:58 > 0:10:02who have won multiple Olympic gold medals since 1948.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05Chris, you're going to try and think of the one you think the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08- It is between you and Ann, remember.- Yep.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10There you are, joint high scorers.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13- Erm, Chris - Audioslave.- Yeah.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16- Curse you, Chris Cornell. - I know. I know.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19- He was in two bands, and I went for the wrong one.- Oh.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21I shouldn't have risked it.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Well, I tell you what, it is the kind of wrong answer that we like on Pointless.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28- Thanks.- It showed fantastic obscure knowledge.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Erm, and again, Annie, same with you, in fact, in the first pass.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33- So you really do deserve a break, I would say, at this point.- Thanks.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36And I'm going to segue immediately from having said that
0:10:36 > 0:10:38to asking what your answer's going to be.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40OK, I'm going to go fairly safe,
0:10:40 > 0:10:43cos I want to leave here with a correct answer.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46But hopefully...hopefully, slightly off the beaten track.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49- Er, I'm going to say Ian Thorpe.- Ian Thorpe.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Let's see if it's right, and if so, how many people said it.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54There's no red line for you, as you're joint high scorers.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58It's right. Very well done.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06- AUDIENCE APPLAUDS - Very well done indeed - 7 for Ian Thorpe, Chris.
0:11:06 > 0:11:10That's a great answer. Let's hope that's enough to see you through.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14Well played, Chris. That's your correct answer right there. Well done.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Five gold medals for Ian Thorpe.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18Now, then, Ann. Whew!
0:11:18 > 0:11:21- Consider that gauntlet well and truly thrown down by Chris.- Absolutely.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24- Welcome to the show, Ann.- Thank you. - Erm, also from Liverpool.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27Now, you work with Vicky. In which part of Vicky's work?
0:11:27 > 0:11:29Vicky does the glamorous side of things,
0:11:29 > 0:11:32and I kind of keep the engine room running back at the ranch.
0:11:32 > 0:11:37- So, erm, database.- Right.- Not too exciting, but it floats my boat.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40Ann, what will you go for? You have to score 6 or less, I'm afraid to say.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42I know. I know. It's a tough one.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Is it a good category for you?
0:11:44 > 0:11:49I think I've got a couple, but I'm not sure I've got any that'll beat 7.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53I'm casting my mind back, and I'm going to go for Mark Spitz, the swimmer.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56Mark Spitz. OK, well, here's your red line.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59You get a red line. But you have to get below that.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03Let's see if that's right, though, and if so, let's see how many people said Mark Spitz.
0:12:05 > 0:12:06It's right.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10It's right. How far down is it going to go?
0:12:10 > 0:12:13It's going to be close! Oh, no! 21, I'm sorry, Ann.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16AUDIENCE APPLAUDS
0:12:17 > 0:12:1821.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21One of the great Olympians of all time, Mark Spitz -
0:12:21 > 0:12:25nine gold medals, including seven in one Olympics, all in world record time.
0:12:25 > 0:12:26Er, thanks very much.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29Now, then, Rachael. Rachael, hi. Welcome back.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Welcome back. Now, remind us what you do, Rachael.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34- I work in health and social care. - And what do you like getting up to?
0:12:34 > 0:12:38Er, like I said last time, we ride our scooters quite a lot,
0:12:38 > 0:12:39so we...we do that.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42Erm... That's about it, really.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46We're quite laid-back people - go to see films, theatre...
0:12:46 > 0:12:48OK. Did you follow the Olympics last year?
0:12:48 > 0:12:52Erm, Shereene likes the gymnastics, so we watched that one.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55And I tried to... The big names.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59OK, well, there you are on 31, which means 89 or less gets you through.
0:12:59 > 0:13:00Have you got a good answer?
0:13:00 > 0:13:02Well, I was going to go for Ian Thorpe,
0:13:02 > 0:13:04then I was going to go for Mark Spitz.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07So I'll continue with swimming, and say Michael Phelps.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10Michael Phelps, says Rachael. OK, here's your red line.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13It's nice and high. Get below that, you're through to the next round.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Let's see if Michael Phelps is right, and let's see how many people said it.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20It's right, and you're through. Very well done.
0:13:23 > 0:13:2525. Good score.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27AUDIENCE APPLAUDS
0:13:27 > 0:13:31Your total is 56 - the lowest total of the round, I can guarantee.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33- Very well done. - Well played, Rachael.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35- It's been a very good round so far. - Yeah.- People picking very well.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37Er, you know Mark Spitz had nine gold medals?
0:13:37 > 0:13:39- Mmm. - HE LAUGHS MOCKINGLY
0:13:39 > 0:13:41- Nine!- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:13:41 > 0:13:42Imagine.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45Er, Michael Phelps - 18 gold medals.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47- Wow.- More than anyone else in history.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49- I'd say that's enough. - AUDIENCE LAUGHS
0:13:49 > 0:13:53Thanks very much indeed. Now, Chris. Chris. Back we come, to you.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55You've been waiting very, very patiently all this time.
0:13:55 > 0:13:59Well, all your best answers - don't tell me, you were going to say Ian Thorpe and Mark Spitz -
0:13:59 > 0:14:01erm, have been taken.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03I was going to say Mark Spitz, yeah.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Er, Chris, welcome to the show. It's great to have you here.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08- Erm, from Birmingham?- Just outside Birmingham.- Just outside?
0:14:08 > 0:14:10- Whereabouts are you from? - Erm, Halesowen.- Halesowen?
0:14:10 > 0:14:13Yes. It's a little town just outside Birmingham.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16- Where the Hales Owengels come from. - ALL LAUGH
0:14:16 > 0:14:17HE CLEARS HIS THROAT
0:14:17 > 0:14:19HE MIMICS DRUM STING
0:14:19 > 0:14:20Er, the Olympics.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23I think I spotted you doing some little furtive nodding there
0:14:23 > 0:14:27at some of the better answers, so I'm guessing you know your stuff.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29No. No, it couldn't be a worse round, really.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32Well, listen, all you have to do is come below 121.
0:14:32 > 0:14:37Ann and Vicky are on 121. 59 or less gets you through.
0:14:37 > 0:14:42Nadia Comaneci and Olga Korbut were a couple of, erm, possibles,
0:14:42 > 0:14:48but the one...the safe answer is Chris Hoy, I think.
0:14:48 > 0:14:49OK, Chris Hoy, says Chris F.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52Let's see if that's right, and if so, how many said it.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55There's your red line. If you get below that, you're home and dry.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59It's right.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02And you're through! Very well done.
0:15:03 > 0:15:0426.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06AUDIENCE APPLAUDS
0:15:06 > 0:15:0987 your total. Very well done. You're in Round Two.
0:15:09 > 0:15:13That's terrific work, Chris. Very well done. Very well done, everyone, on that round.
0:15:13 > 0:15:14Yeah, he's won six gold medals -
0:15:14 > 0:15:17or 12 fewer than Michael Phelps might be a better way of putting it.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21Er, funnily enough, Nadia Comaneci would have scored you 3 points. It would have been a correct answer.
0:15:21 > 0:15:25Olga Korbut not a correct answer but Nadia Conameci was. Would have been a very good answer.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29The only other really obvious answer no-one went for, for 20 points, was Carl Lewis.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Carl Lewis would have been a good answer.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34Let's look at some pointless answers. Quite obscure, some of the pointless answers.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37I can't believe no-one said Anastasia Davydova,
0:15:37 > 0:15:39who, of course, won five golds in synchronised swimming.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42- Mmm! Mmm.- Ogh!
0:15:42 > 0:15:43Er, Boris Shakhlin.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47Matt Biondi, the American swimmer - a few people might have got him.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51Mitsuo Tsukahara, the gymnast... Japanese gymnast.
0:15:51 > 0:15:52There's a move named after him.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Nellie Kim, another gymnast, of course, from the '70s.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Pal Kovacs, who won gold medals in fencing.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00If you need any fencing done, he's your man.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02AUDIENCE GIGGLES
0:16:02 > 0:16:05Er, Polina Astakhova, Tom Jager, the American swimmer,
0:16:05 > 0:16:11and Zou Kai, the Chinese gymnast who won golds in Beijing and in London.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13So he might add to his haul.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15Very, very well done if you said any of those at home.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19So, at the end of Round One, I'm afraid the pair heading home,
0:16:19 > 0:16:22with their high score of 121, it's Ann and Vicky.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25- Not your best category.- No.- No.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27No. But, erm, listen, we will see you again next time.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30We look forward to that very much. But, meantime, thanks very much for playing.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33- Thank you.- Thank you. - AUDIENCE APPLAUDS
0:16:35 > 0:16:37But, for the remaining three pairs, it is now time for Round Two.
0:16:42 > 0:16:43And so three pairs remain.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47And obviously, at the end of this round, we'll say goodbye to another pair,
0:16:47 > 0:16:48as we go into our head-to-head round.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50Well, very well done, everyone.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53That was by no means an easy round, that Olympics round.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56Erm, so, yes, very well done, all three pairs. Best of luck.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Our category for Round Two is...
0:17:01 > 0:17:05Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:17:05 > 0:17:08And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13OK, and the question concerns:
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Famous Austrians, Richard.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22- There's going to be 12 of them, as well. Can you imagine? - Wow. There you go.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25That's almost a round in itself, isn't it? Just name 12.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27On each pass, we're going to show you six clues
0:17:27 > 0:17:30to famous people born in Austria, or whatever Austria used to be.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33Give us the most obscure answer, you're going to score fewest points.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36There's going to be 12 in all, 12 famous Austrians, er, to get at home.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38Very, very best of luck with that.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40Thanks very much indeed.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44So, let's reveal our first board of famous Austrians. And here they are.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11I'll read those all one last time.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37There we are - six famous Austrians, Beth.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39- Are you happy with this?- I know two.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42I guess the slightly less obvious one
0:18:42 > 0:18:45would be Marie Antoinette, for "Let them eat cake."
0:18:45 > 0:18:47OK, Marie Antoinette, says Beth, for "Let them eat cake."
0:18:47 > 0:18:51Let's see if that's right, and let's see how many people said Marie Antoinette.
0:18:53 > 0:18:54It's right.
0:18:57 > 0:18:5944.
0:18:59 > 0:19:00AUDIENCE APPLAUDS
0:19:00 > 0:19:0244 for Marie Antoinette.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Yeah, good start.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08Her full name was Marie Antoinette Josephine Jeanne d'Autriche Lorraine.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11- The Autriche there being the clue to where she was born.- Uh-huh.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14- Austria.- Yeah. Thanks very much indeed.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17- Now, Shereene.- Hello! - Shereene. What about this board?
0:19:17 > 0:19:20- Ooh!- This board of Austrians. - There is one that I know.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24And I think I learnt this from a comedy TV show, actually.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27So I'm going to go for the author of Mein Kampf -
0:19:27 > 0:19:28Adolf Hitler?
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Adolf Hitler, says Shereene, for the author of Mein Kampf.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34Let's see if that's right, and if so, let's see how many people said Adolf Hitler.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38It's right.
0:19:40 > 0:19:4139.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43AUDIENCE APPLAUDS
0:19:43 > 0:19:46Good answer, Shereene. Good score.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50Er, yeah, that must have been some comedy show you were watching.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52- ALL LAUGH - Can I say it?
0:19:52 > 0:19:56- Yeah, man of the year from Time. They made Stalin man of the year the year later.- Wow.
0:19:56 > 0:19:57Thanks very much, Richard.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00- Now, Annie. You're the last person to have this board.- Yeah.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02- Is this a good board for you? - No, it's a disaster.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05I don't know anything about painting,
0:20:05 > 0:20:07so that's not really going to help me.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10The only Austrian actor I can think of is Arnold Schwarzenegger,
0:20:10 > 0:20:12so I'm not going to go for that.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15I'd have a guess at the racing driver, but I'm probably wrong.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18So, I'm pretty sure this person had a cat,
0:20:18 > 0:20:22so I'm going to say Albert Einstein.
0:20:22 > 0:20:23- OK.- For the cat.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26You're going to say Albert Einstein for the quantum physicist.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Let's see if Albert Einstein's right,
0:20:28 > 0:20:31and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Albert Einstein.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36- Yeah.- Bad luck, Annie, I'm afraid. An incorrect answer.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38You'll discover soon enough
0:20:38 > 0:20:40how many of those you might have known at the back of your mind.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43But I'm afraid, for now, that is an incorrect answer.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45That scores you the maximum of 100 points.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49- Yeah, I don't think it's... I thought it was quite a nice board, I thought, that one.- Yeah.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51I think, erm, people at home will do all right.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54There's some quite big scorers up there, certainly.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58Erm, the quantum physicist is, er, Schroedinger - Schroedinger's cat.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01- It's one of the most famous experiments in science.- No idea.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04It's Erwin Schroedinger. Well done if you said that at home.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06The racing driver. Who would you have gone for for that?
0:21:06 > 0:21:09- Ayrton Senna?- No, he's Brazilian, I'm afraid.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11- It's Niki Lauda.- Yep.
0:21:11 > 0:21:12Who was in the film, er, Rush,
0:21:12 > 0:21:15- made about him and James Hunt, which is a terrific film.- Mmm.
0:21:15 > 0:21:1725 points for Niki Lauda.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19- The painter of The Kiss... - Is it Edvard Munch?
0:21:19 > 0:21:21It's not Edvard Munch.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23- Oh, The Kiss! That's The Scream! - Exactly.- Oh, yes, of course.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26- Gustav Klimt.- It was Klimt, yes, with his gold.- Six points.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29- And the actor... - Is, er, Christopher Waltz.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32- Christoph Waltz, yes.- Christoph. - The brilliant Christoph Waltz.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34One point. Won Oscars for, erm...
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Oh, I can't say it - it's got a rude word in it.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38- Inglourious... - HE MUMBLES
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Won an Oscar, yeah, for a film with a rude word in it.
0:21:41 > 0:21:42And for Django Unchained.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44- He's brilliant, brilliant in both of those films.- Yeah.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48Thanks very much. Halfway through the round, let's look at those scores.
0:21:48 > 0:21:5139 - the best score of that pass, Shereene. Very well done.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54Erm, then up to 44, where we find Beth and Chris,
0:21:54 > 0:21:56then up to 100, Annie and Chris W.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59Now, Chris W, you get first bash at that next board,
0:21:59 > 0:22:02so, erm, perhaps you might find a nice low score.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04And maybe that will be enough to keep you in the game. Best of luck.
0:22:04 > 0:22:09We're going to come back down the line now. Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:22:11 > 0:22:14OK, we're going to put six more clues on the board, six more famous Austrians.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16And here they are.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39I'll read those all one last time.
0:22:57 > 0:22:58There we are.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01Remember, we are looking for the famous Austrians thereby described.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04And Chris, you need to find the one you think the fewest people knew.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06Chris, what do you make of that board?
0:23:06 > 0:23:10Er, I'm pretty sure I know four of them.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14And I'm trying to think which one might be the best.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17I think just maybe people maybe would forget his name, perhaps,
0:23:17 > 0:23:21so I'll go for the skydiver who performed the record-breaking dive,
0:23:21 > 0:23:22was Felix Baumgartner.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25Baumgartner. OK, let's see if that's right.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27No red line for you, as you are the high scorers.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30Let's see how many of our 100 people said Felix Baumgartner.
0:23:33 > 0:23:34It's right.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43Wow! Look at that! 4! That's a great answer, Chris.
0:23:43 > 0:23:44AUDIENCE APPLAUDS
0:23:44 > 0:23:48104 is your total. I wonder if that's enough to see you through.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Terrific work again, Chris. Very well played.
0:23:50 > 0:23:51Erm, yeah, an amazing achievement.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54It was on YouTube, and it had, like, 8 million hits.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57And that's extraordinary - 8 million people have seen it.
0:23:57 > 0:24:01You think, that's, like, roughly, a normal audience for New Tricks or Countryfile.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03- ALL LAUGH - Yeah.
0:24:03 > 0:24:04Thanks very much, Richard.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08- Now, Rachael.- Yep.- I sense this is quite a good board for you.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10I should know one of them that I don't know,
0:24:10 > 0:24:13cos it's my favourite film series, but I don't know her name.
0:24:13 > 0:24:17However, I'm going to say thank you to Mr Beard at history...
0:24:17 > 0:24:19- Thanks, Mr Beard. - SHEREENE LAUGHS
0:24:19 > 0:24:22..cos I did this when I was 14.
0:24:22 > 0:24:26The archduke whose assassination helped trigger World War I -
0:24:26 > 0:24:28- Archduke Franz Ferdinand. - Franz Ferdinand.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31- Did he have a beard, Mr Beard? - Er, no, he didn't.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34Oh, he's missing a trick there. Like the guy in ZZ Top.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36He was called Beard, and he didn't have a beard either.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38Did you call him Beardy?
0:24:38 > 0:24:40Behind his back.
0:24:40 > 0:24:41He had a beard behind his back?
0:24:41 > 0:24:43ALL LAUGH
0:24:43 > 0:24:45- That's not a beard. - That's not a beard, no.
0:24:45 > 0:24:46That's a...that's a tail!
0:24:46 > 0:24:48ALL LAUGH
0:24:48 > 0:24:53Er, there we are. So, Franz Ferdinand, says Rachael. Let's see if that's right.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56There is your red line. 64 or less, you have to score.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58Let's see if Franz Ferdinand gets you down there.
0:25:03 > 0:25:04Yes, it does.
0:25:06 > 0:25:0733.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09- AUDIENCE APPLAUDS - Very well done.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11Takes your total up to 72.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15Well played, Rachael. Well played, Mr Beard. Good work from you both there.
0:25:15 > 0:25:16Erm, yeah, Franz Ferdinand.
0:25:16 > 0:25:20There's all sorts of very unusual stories about the day when he was killed.
0:25:20 > 0:25:21Everyone had a go at him.
0:25:21 > 0:25:22All right, thanks very much.
0:25:22 > 0:25:26Now, then. Er, Chris and Beth. There you are, on 44.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29The high score is still Chris and Annie on 104.
0:25:29 > 0:25:30So 59 gets you through.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33Chris, I think you're going to be quite good at this.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36- Talk us through the board.- I wish I could. I wish I could.- Really?
0:25:36 > 0:25:41I don't know anybody other than Arnold Schwarzenegger,
0:25:41 > 0:25:45the bodybuilder who became an actor and US state governor.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48OK, so, that is what you are going for - Arnold Schwarzenegger.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51There's your red line. Get below that, you're through to the head-to-head.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55Let's see if Arnold Schwarzenegger can get you below that red line.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59Well, obviously, it's right.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01And you're through! Look at that!
0:26:01 > 0:26:04- 46 for Arnie. - AUDIENCE APPLAUDS
0:26:04 > 0:26:07- 90 is your total. Very well done, Chris.- Well done.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11Yeah, a surprisingly low score there for Arnie, wasn't it?
0:26:11 > 0:26:13- Mmm.- Er, very helpful to you there.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Let's take a look through the rest of these.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17- Do you remember the singer?- Faldo.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19- It wasn't Faldo.- Wasn't it?
0:26:19 > 0:26:21No, he's the golfer. It was Falco.
0:26:21 > 0:26:25- Oh, Falco! Oh, no! - ALL LAUGH
0:26:25 > 0:26:26- Oh, God.- 12 points for that.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28- Faldo had a very different pop career.- Yeah, he did.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30You're absolutely right. Oh, dear.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33- Actress who played Rosa Klebb. - Erm, Lotte Lenya.- It is Lotte Lenya.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36The best answer up there, actually. It would have scored you 2 points.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39- And the composer of the Blue Danube...- Is Johann Strauss.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42Johann Strauss, yes. Would have scored you 20 points.
0:26:42 > 0:26:47Do you know, Arnold Schwarzenegger, for his first film, was credited as Arnold Strong.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50- Really? That's almost my name. - ALL LAUGH
0:26:50 > 0:26:52- It's not a million miles, is it?- Yeah. Yeah.- Yeah.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54Well, thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57At the end of our second round, I'm afraid the pair leaving us,
0:26:57 > 0:26:59with a high score of 104, it's Chris and Annie.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02Now, we've had some valiant low scoring from Chris,
0:27:02 > 0:27:04er, in an effort to stem the tide.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08But I'm afraid we have to say goodbye. But it's been lovely having you on the show.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11- Thank you both so much for playing, Chris and Annie.- Thanks.- Thank you.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14AUDIENCE APPLAUDS
0:27:14 > 0:27:17But, for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for the head-to-head.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24Congratulations, Rachael, Shereene, Chris and Beth.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26You are one step closer to the final
0:27:26 > 0:27:30and a chance to play for our jackpot, which currently stands at £2,000.
0:27:30 > 0:27:31There it is.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37So, obviously, now we have to decide who's going to go through to the final and play for that money.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39And to do that, you are now going to go head-to-head.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41The difference is you're now allowed to confer,
0:27:41 > 0:27:44and the first pair to win two questions will play for the jackpot.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46Well, neither of you have been here before.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48Chris and Beth, it's your first time on Pointless,
0:27:48 > 0:27:52and Rachael and Shereene, I think it was Round Two last time, you left.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54I think this is going to be very, very close.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05OK, here comes your first question, and it concerns:
0:28:08 > 0:28:10Scottish Towns and Cities, Richard.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12I'm going to show you five pictures now,
0:28:12 > 0:28:14taken in or near various Scottish towns and cities.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17Can you name the places, please? Very best of luck.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20Thanks, Richard. So, let's reveal our five Scottish towns or cities.
0:28:20 > 0:28:21And here they are. We have got:
0:28:39 > 0:28:42There we are - five Scottish towns and cities.
0:28:42 > 0:28:46Rachael and Shereene, you've played best throughout the show so far, so you are going to go first.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48OK. Erm, yeah.
0:28:48 > 0:28:52Well, I'm going to let Rachael do the geography, cos, as you know, I'm no good at that, so...
0:28:52 > 0:28:57Er, we're going to go for C, and say St Andrews.
0:28:57 > 0:29:00C - St Andrews, say Rachael and Shereene. C - St Andrews.
0:29:00 > 0:29:04Now, Chris and Beth, do you think you can talk us through the rest of the board?
0:29:04 > 0:29:05No.
0:29:05 > 0:29:06I don't think we can, no.
0:29:06 > 0:29:09Do you want to have a crack at it, just for fun?
0:29:09 > 0:29:14I think we recall that, er, a children's comic
0:29:14 > 0:29:19was published in Dundee that featured Desperate Dan,
0:29:19 > 0:29:21so A is Dundee.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23A - Dundee, say Chris and Beth.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26So we have St Andrews and we have Dundee.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29Rachael and Shereene went first, with St Andrews for C.
0:29:29 > 0:29:32Let's see if that's right, and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35It's right.
0:29:38 > 0:29:4037 for St Andrews.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43AUDIENCE APPLAUDS
0:29:44 > 0:29:47Chris and Beth have said Dundee for A.
0:29:47 > 0:29:48Let's see if that's right,
0:29:48 > 0:29:51and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Dundee.
0:29:54 > 0:29:55It's right.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58Is that going to beat 37?
0:29:58 > 0:30:00Yes, it is. Very well done indeed.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02Down it goes. 12! Good answer!
0:30:05 > 0:30:07Well done, Chris and Beth.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10That means, after one question, you are up 1-0.
0:30:10 > 0:30:11Yes, Dundee, absolutely.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14Now, you know that I don't like to hand out yellow cards on this show.
0:30:14 > 0:30:17I don't do it often. I don't discipline often.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20- No. What, are you about to...do one? - Well, I'm going to do a straight yellow.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22I'm going to show a yellow to Chris F,
0:30:22 > 0:30:24cos that's now three questions in a row where he said,
0:30:24 > 0:30:28"Oh, I know absolutely nothing about this," and then got a winning answer.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30And, Chris, I let the first two go. I did leave...
0:30:30 > 0:30:34Cos I wanted the game to go on. You know, I like to see an open play.
0:30:34 > 0:30:38But three in a row - I'm not having it. So that's a yellow.
0:30:38 > 0:30:39AUDIENCE GIGGLES
0:30:39 > 0:30:43We hear it again, it's a red, OK, and Beth's got to play by herself.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45Now, B is a pointless answer.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47Very well done if you got this at home.
0:30:47 > 0:30:51That is Elgin Cathedral. So Elgin is the answer there.
0:30:51 > 0:30:52That would be a terrific answer.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55I tell you what, it's in a... They could do with tarting it up a bit.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58I say, their upkeep has fallen slightly by the wayside.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00They've got roofers in at the moment.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02- Oh, have they?- Yeah, yeah. - Oh. That's nice.
0:31:02 > 0:31:06- Erm, D. Do you know D?- I'm going to be honest, and say I don't.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09- It's Inverness.- Right. - That's Inverness Castle.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11Would have scored you 6 points.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14And the bottom answer is...
0:31:14 > 0:31:16- Well, Edinburgh, from Calton Hill. - It is Edinburgh.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19Doesn't score that many more than St Andrews - it scores 39 points.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22Thanks very much indeed. Here comes your second question.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24Rachael and Shereene, you need to win this one to stay in the game.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27- Did you know any of those other ones?- No.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30- I only knew it cos of the golf course.- Fair enough.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32But best of luck for this round.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35Erm, here comes the second question. It concerns:
0:31:38 > 0:31:40Prince William. Richard.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42We'll show you five clues to facts about Prince William.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44Can you give us the most obscure answer?
0:31:44 > 0:31:46OK, thanks. Let's reveal our five clues.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48And here they come. We have got:
0:32:01 > 0:32:03I'll read those one last time.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16There we are. Five clues to facts about Prince William.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19Chris and Beth, you will go first.
0:32:19 > 0:32:20Yep.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22Erm, well, as Brummies,
0:32:22 > 0:32:25we kind of have to go for the football club he supports.
0:32:25 > 0:32:30Unfortunately, I am a Blues fan, but he supports Aston Villa.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32Aston Villa, say Chris and Beth.
0:32:32 > 0:32:36Now, Rachael and Shereene, do you think you can talk us through the rest of the board?
0:32:36 > 0:32:39Well, as Brummies, we were going to go for Aston Villa.
0:32:39 > 0:32:40HE LAUGHS
0:32:40 > 0:32:43Erm, his first son is George.
0:32:43 > 0:32:46The college - I'm sure it's St Andrews.
0:32:46 > 0:32:50The hospital - I know it's the Lindo Wing, where George was born.
0:32:50 > 0:32:55But Shereene seems to think that he's two years younger than Harry.
0:32:55 > 0:32:56- No, older.- Older than Harry.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58So he was born...
0:32:58 > 0:33:01We're going to say 1982.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04- For Prince William?- Yes.- Yes.- 1982.
0:33:04 > 0:33:08OK, so, we have Aston Villa and we have 1982.
0:33:08 > 0:33:09Chris and Beth have said Aston Villa.
0:33:09 > 0:33:13Let's see if that's right, and if it is, let's see how many people said Aston Villa.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17It's right.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24- 14! - AUDIENCE APPLAUDS
0:33:26 > 0:33:30- It's going to be very close. - 14 for Aston Villa.
0:33:30 > 0:33:35Now, Rachael and Shereene, you have said 1982, the year Prince William was born.
0:33:35 > 0:33:39Let's see if that's right, and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said 1982.
0:33:41 > 0:33:42It's right.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46Is it going to beat 14? I think it's going to be close.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49- Ooh! No, it's 26! - AUDIENCE APPLAUDS
0:33:49 > 0:33:51Well done.
0:33:51 > 0:33:5226 for 1982.
0:33:52 > 0:33:56Which means Chris and Beth, after only two questions,
0:33:56 > 0:33:58you're through to the final, 2-0 - very well done indeed.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00- Richard.- Yeah, a good head-to-head. Well played.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03And well played, Shereene and Rachael. I think Shereene's forgiven now.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06Do you think? Yeah. That's a very good answer there.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08The name of his first son was George.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10Would have scored you a lot of points.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12That would have scored you 81 points.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15Er, the college he attended. So you would have gone for St Andrews again?
0:34:15 > 0:34:18- It's not. That's his university, isn't it?- Yeah, exactly.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20- It was Eton.- Yes, oh, of course. - Yep, Eton's the right answer.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23Would have scored you 31.
0:34:23 > 0:34:25And the name of the hospital where he was born
0:34:25 > 0:34:27was, of course, St Mary's Hospital.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29Would have scored you 17 points.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32So, the best answer there was Aston Villa. Nothing you could have done.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35And I commend you, Beth, on how you said the word Aston Villa
0:34:35 > 0:34:39through gritted teeth - very impressively done.
0:34:39 > 0:34:40Thanks very much indeed.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42So, the leaving pair at the end of our head-to-head,
0:34:42 > 0:34:44I'm afraid it's Rachael and Shereene.
0:34:44 > 0:34:47I'm so sorry. You did very well in the head-to-head. Two good answers there.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49But we have to say goodbye to you now.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51- It's been lovely having you. Thanks for playing.- Thank you.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53- Rachael and Shereene. - AUDIENCE APPLAUDS
0:34:53 > 0:34:55- BETH:- Well done.
0:34:55 > 0:34:56Good luck.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00But, for Chris and Beth, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05Congratulations, Chris and Beth.
0:35:05 > 0:35:09You fought off all the competition and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:15 > 0:35:17You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:35:17 > 0:35:20and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £2,000.
0:35:20 > 0:35:21There it is.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27Well, Beth. Well, Beth.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30When we started, with Steve Redgrave back there, 61 points,
0:35:30 > 0:35:32- did you ever think you would end up here?- No.
0:35:32 > 0:35:35But we had a strategy, and the strategy was play it safe.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38- And we did, and it works. - It did work.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40Now, as always, you kick off this round by choosing a category,
0:35:40 > 0:35:42and your four options are:
0:35:52 > 0:35:54- Wales?- Wales.- OK. Yeah.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57Erm, purely through elimination -
0:35:57 > 0:36:00because we know nothing about the other three - we'll go for Wales.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03OK. Chris and Beth are saying Wales. Richard.
0:36:03 > 0:36:07Yeah, a few different options inside this Welsh category.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09Let's take a look at all three of them.
0:36:09 > 0:36:13We're looking for any UK top 40 single by Catatonia.
0:36:13 > 0:36:17The next one might be a good question for some people - we're looking for any Welsh Oscar winner.
0:36:17 > 0:36:21That's any Welsh-born person who has won Best Actor, Best Actress,
0:36:21 > 0:36:25Best Supporting Actress or Best Supporting Actor, up until 2012.
0:36:25 > 0:36:29Or we're looking for any film directed by Peter Greenaway.
0:36:29 > 0:36:30For cinema release, please -
0:36:30 > 0:36:32no TV films, documentaries, that sort of thing.
0:36:32 > 0:36:34So, any UK top 40 Catatonia single,
0:36:34 > 0:36:37any Welsh Oscar winners in Best Actress, Best Actor,
0:36:37 > 0:36:39Best Supporting in both those categories,
0:36:39 > 0:36:40or any Peter Greenaway film.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43- Very, very best of luck. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46Now, as always, you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:36:46 > 0:36:47And to win the jackpot of £2,000,
0:36:47 > 0:36:49only one of those answers needs to be pointless.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52Remember, the answers can come from any of those categories.
0:36:52 > 0:36:54It's up to you how you spread them across.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56They can all come from the same one, or one from each.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58Are you ready?
0:36:58 > 0:37:00- No.- Yes.- OK, all right.
0:37:00 > 0:37:02OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04There they are. Your time starts now.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07- OK, well, I only know one Catatonia single.- I've never heard of them.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10OK. That's Road Rage, so that could be one answer.
0:37:10 > 0:37:14- Erm, Welsh Oscar winners. Well...- Erm...Richard Burton.
0:37:14 > 0:37:18- Catherine Zeta-Jones? - An Oscar?! I doubt it.
0:37:18 > 0:37:20- Erm...- Well, I don't know. - Anthony Hopkins.- Anthony Hopkins.
0:37:20 > 0:37:23- But, I mean they're going to be...70, I imagine.- Yeah.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26That's one of my favourite things - guessing what it will be.
0:37:26 > 0:37:30Erm, I don't know who Peter Green...away is. Do you?
0:37:30 > 0:37:34- He's a film director. - Oh. Erm, I don't know.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36That's all three answers, then, isn't it?
0:37:36 > 0:37:38Road Rage... Erm...
0:37:38 > 0:37:41- Who did you say for Oscar winners? - Well, there's Richard Burton...
0:37:41 > 0:37:44- OK, well, let's go with that. - ..and Anthony Hopkins.
0:37:44 > 0:37:47But if you really don't think that this Road Rage is going to beat...
0:37:47 > 0:37:50- No.- ..why not go for Catherine Zeta-Jones,
0:37:50 > 0:37:55- on the grounds that it's highly unlikely, but...- Ten seconds left.
0:37:55 > 0:37:56Road Rage is right, though.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59- So go Road Rage, Catherine Zeta-Jones...- No, but we don't want it right if it scores a lot.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01- But so will Anthony Hopkins. - Well, go for...
0:38:01 > 0:38:04- Road Rage.- Oh, go with what you like. OK.- Anthony Hopkins.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07- And who is the one that you said? - OK, there's your time up.
0:38:07 > 0:38:08- Richard Burton.- OK.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10I now need your three answers. What are they going to be?
0:38:10 > 0:38:13- We'll have Richard Burton... - Richard Burton.
0:38:13 > 0:38:14- ..Anthony Hopkins... - Anthony Hopkins.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17..and a single by a group I've never heard of, which is called...
0:38:17 > 0:38:19- Road Rage.- And Road Rage.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22Now, of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:22 > 0:38:24- Road Rage.- OK.- Most likely to be pointless?- Yeah.
0:38:24 > 0:38:26OK, we'll put Road Rage last.
0:38:26 > 0:38:28Least likely to be pointless?
0:38:28 > 0:38:30- Anthony Hopkins.- Anthony Hopkins. We'll put him first.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33OK, let's pop those answers on the board, in that order.
0:38:33 > 0:38:34And here they come.
0:38:34 > 0:38:40We have got Anthony Hopkins, Richard Burton and Road Rage.
0:38:40 > 0:38:41Well, best of luck.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44Your first answer was Anthony Hopkins.
0:38:44 > 0:38:46Now, let's say one of these answers is right
0:38:46 > 0:38:49and it was a pointless answer and you were to win £2,000.
0:38:49 > 0:38:51What would you do with that? Beth.
0:38:51 > 0:38:55Erm, well, I spent my honeymoon in a caravan in Somerset,
0:38:55 > 0:38:58- so I think we're overdue... - Oh, you'd like to do it again.
0:38:58 > 0:39:00- Oh, we'd LOVE to do it again. - ALL LAUGH
0:39:00 > 0:39:05- But equally, I think we're overdue a nice holiday, so...- OK.
0:39:05 > 0:39:08- So, a sort of late honeymoon?- Yes.
0:39:08 > 0:39:09Chris, how about you?
0:39:09 > 0:39:12Well, we were overjoyed just to win the trophy.
0:39:12 > 0:39:16We won't say no to the money, and I think I would spend my share on...
0:39:16 > 0:39:18I go ballroom dancing with my wife,
0:39:18 > 0:39:21so a new dress for my wife for ballroom dancing would be nice.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23- AUDIENCE: Awww.- Very nice.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25Well, best of luck, as I say.
0:39:25 > 0:39:26Anthony Hopkins was your first answer,
0:39:26 > 0:39:29though you thought this was probably the least likely to be pointless.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32We were looking for Welsh Oscar winners in this case.
0:39:32 > 0:39:35Erm, you only have to find one pointless answer, remember, to win that jackpot.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38So, for £2,000, let's see how many people said Anthony Hopkins.
0:39:38 > 0:39:40Is it pointless?
0:39:42 > 0:39:43Well, it's correct.
0:39:43 > 0:39:45That's certainly the first thing it needed to be.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47The second thing is pointless.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50So, if this goes all the way down to 0, you will leave with £2,000.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53It's going down through the 30s, through the 20s.
0:39:53 > 0:39:5420.
0:39:54 > 0:39:57AUDIENCE APPLAUDS
0:39:57 > 0:40:0020 for Anthony Hopkins.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02So, unfortunately, not a pointless answer.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04But you put it first for a reason.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06Only two more chances, though, to win today's jackpot.
0:40:06 > 0:40:11Your second answer - let's hope nobody said that - Richard Burton.
0:40:11 > 0:40:13Again, it has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot.
0:40:13 > 0:40:18So, for £2,000, let's find out if Richard Burton is a Welsh Oscar winner.
0:40:20 > 0:40:21No!
0:40:23 > 0:40:25Not an Oscar winner, I'm guessing from that.
0:40:25 > 0:40:29Which means you only have one more chance to win today's jackpot.
0:40:29 > 0:40:32Everything is now riding on Road Rage.
0:40:32 > 0:40:35You put this last. You thought this was your best shot at a pointless answer.
0:40:35 > 0:40:40So, for £2,000, let's find out if Road Rage is a Catatonia single
0:40:40 > 0:40:42and, if it is, how many people said it.
0:40:44 > 0:40:46It is correct.
0:40:46 > 0:40:48Now, your first answer was Anthony Hopkins,
0:40:48 > 0:40:50took us all the way down to 20.
0:40:50 > 0:40:52Richard Burton was incorrect.
0:40:52 > 0:40:55But Road Rage is now taking us down through the teens...
0:40:55 > 0:40:56..to 12.
0:41:03 > 0:41:05Oh, bad luck. Well, two very good answers there.
0:41:05 > 0:41:08But unfortunately, you didn't find that all-important pointless answer,
0:41:08 > 0:41:10which means you don't win today's jackpot of £2,000.
0:41:10 > 0:41:12That will roll over on to the next show.
0:41:12 > 0:41:14But we have loved having you on the show.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17And you do get to take home a pointless trophy each. So well done.
0:41:17 > 0:41:20- Thank you. - AUDIENCE APPLAUDS
0:41:24 > 0:41:26Yeah, the categories didn't quite fall for you,
0:41:26 > 0:41:29but you've been brilliant throughout the rest of the show, so sorry about that.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32Let's look at the pointless answers in all the different categories.
0:41:32 > 0:41:35For Catatonia, there's some big hits here,
0:41:35 > 0:41:37so, if you know Catatonia, you'll get some of these.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40Dead From The Waist Down - that was a top ten hit.
0:41:40 > 0:41:44I Am The Mob. You could have had Karaoke Queen or Strange Glue, or number-three hit Game On.
0:41:44 > 0:41:47You could have had Stone By Stone, their last single, or You've Got A Lot To Answer For.
0:41:47 > 0:41:50Mulder And Scully was the biggest answer there - bigger than Road Rage.
0:41:50 > 0:41:54Now, only five Welsh actors have ever won an Oscar.
0:41:54 > 0:41:58Funnily enough, Richard Burton, nominated six times for Best Actor and once for Best Supporting Actor,
0:41:58 > 0:42:00but never actually won one.
0:42:00 > 0:42:01There's only five actors.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03Ray Milland is the only pointless answer up there.
0:42:03 > 0:42:05Won for The Lost Weekend, in the '40s.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07The other answers were
0:42:07 > 0:42:08Hugh Griffith would have scored you 1.
0:42:08 > 0:42:10Christian Bale would have scored you 1.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12Anthony Hopkins, of course, got 20.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14And with 33 - the most famous of all -
0:42:14 > 0:42:15Catherine Zeta-Jones!
0:42:15 > 0:42:17Sorry.
0:42:17 > 0:42:20She'll be furious. She'll be furious if she's sitting at home.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23Erm, and let's take a look at the last category, Peter Greenaway films.
0:42:23 > 0:42:26If you know anything about him, you will have cleared up here,
0:42:26 > 0:42:28because almost all his big films are pointless answers.
0:42:28 > 0:42:30Drowning By Numbers, Prospero's Books,
0:42:30 > 0:42:31The Draughtsman's Contract,
0:42:31 > 0:42:34his '96 film with Ewan McGregor, The Pillow Book.
0:42:34 > 0:42:35They were pointless answers.
0:42:35 > 0:42:38The biggest answer there was The Cook, The Thief, His Wife And Her Lover.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40That was the biggest answer on those films.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42Virtually everything else, pointless.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44- Well done at home, if you got those.- Thanks, Richard.
0:42:44 > 0:42:47Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to you, Chris and Beth.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49But we've loved having you. Thanks for playing.
0:42:49 > 0:42:50Chris and Beth.
0:42:50 > 0:42:52- Thank you. - AUDIENCE APPLAUDS
0:42:54 > 0:42:56Well, sadly, Chris and Beth didn't win our jackpot today,
0:42:56 > 0:42:58which means it rolls over on to the next show,
0:42:58 > 0:43:01when we will be playing for £3,000.
0:43:01 > 0:43:02There it is.
0:43:04 > 0:43:06Join us next time, and see if someone can win it.
0:43:06 > 0:43:08- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...- Goodbye.
0:43:08 > 0:43:10..and it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
