Episode 7 Pointless

APPLAUSE

Thanks very much. I'm Alexander Armstrong, welcome to Pointless.

The aim of the game is to score as few points as you can.

To do that, you need to come up with answers no-one else could think of.

Let's meet today's players.

Couple number one.

Hello, I'm Ann from Cheshunt, this is my brother John from Exeter.

Couple number two. I'm Luke, this is Hannah. We're from Birmingham.

Couple three. I'm Barbara, this is my daughter Laura.

We're from Peterborough.

And couple number four. I'm Meghan, this is my friend Jack.

We're from Ballymoney, Northern Ireland. These are our contestants!

Thanks, we'll find out more as the show goes on.

That leaves one more person to introduce. He called in sick today,

so we're using the cardboard-cutout version of my Pointless friend -

proto-Richard. Hiya. Hi, everybody.

Good afternoon to you. And to you.

We talked a bit about the endgame, giving away the jackpot more often.

Yeah. But our last two shows, we haven't given it away,

but two shows ago, we had a one-pointer

and the last show, we had Will and Naomi,

they did questions about medieval England and had two one-pointers.

They did ever so well. We've got two pairs from that show

and they both did well, so it's going to be a tough show, I think.

Jack and Meghan got through to the head-to-head

and Luke and Hannah, who WERE going well.

They tripped up on the French round, but everybody tripped up on that!

We were making up French names.

Round one today, apart from there being good teams here,

round one is going to be tough.

Thank you. Now, our questions were put to 100 people before the show.

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

If you find a pointless answer - one that none of our 100 people gave -

we will add 250 quid to the jackpot.

Naomi and Will didn't win last time, so we add another £1,000 to that,

so today's jackpot starts off at £4,000.

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

In round one, I'll take an answer from each of you - no conferring.

Whichever pair gets the highest score will be eliminated,

so make sure that isn't you.

Our first category today is...

Literature. Decide in your pairs who's going first and second.

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

OK, and the question concerns...

Richard?

On each pass, we'll show you seven poets - we need their first names.

There's going to be 14 in all to have a go at, so best of luck.

OK, we're looking for the first names of these poets.

Here's our first board of seven.

I'll read those all again.

John and Ann, you drew lots earlier and today you are going first.

Ann, welcome to the show. What do you do, Ann?

I'm a PA to a surgeon.

What kind of surgeon? A foot surgeon.

A foot surgeon. And when...

Thanks, John!

Where would I be without that helpful, little...

What do you do when you're not being a PA? I like swimming,

I go out with my dog,

I like cycling, travel, cooking.

Now, how do you feel about our poets here?

I think I know a few.

I think I'll go for Elizabeth Barrett Browning.

Elizabeth Barrett Browning says Ann.

Let's see how many people said it.

Absolutely right.

23.

That'll do nicely. 23 for Elizabeth Barrett Browning.

Her family were plantation owners.

The first person in her family to be born in England in 200 years.

Mainly born in Jamaica.

Thanks, Richard. Now, Luke, welcome back.

What happened last time, Luke?

We failed in round two. French prime ministers and presidents.

Because I don't know any.

I knew two, but they went.

I thought there were only two. But there were more apparently.

No, it's nice. You decided Jean Reno should've been a prime minister.

By the time we finish...

You're the first members of the deux-cent club.

That's my attempt at a French joke.

That's good. You think? Yeah. That was a "deux-cent" effort.

Erm, now...

Luke, we know that you used to work in a video and DVD shop.

Not a video shop, they haven't been video shops for a long time.

But what are you doing now?

I'm looking to actually make my own films now.

Very good. Taken the redundancy as a step forward and...

The Tarantino route in, sensible. So you've applied for a course?

I have. Well, best of luck with that.

What about these poets and their first names?

Erm, I know a couple.

There's one I'm really sure of.

Benjamin Zephaniah. Benjamin Zephaniah says Luke.

Let's see if it's right and how many people said Benjamin Zephaniah.

Absolutely right.

23 is our only score so far

and you've passed that.

Down to 17. Well done, Luke.

He was voted Britain's third favourite poet of all time in 2009.

He has a flat in Beijing - he likes to train with the Shaolin monks.

Trains in kung fu. Takes it very seriously.

Evidently. Rhymes with a lot, kung fu, you see,

so... that's why poets like it.

The "fu" bit. Oh, yeah. Of course, they would.

Has he written much about kung fu?

He did "I like to do kung fu,

"how about you?" That was one of his.

"I'm a bit of a smartie, I like to do karate."

"I don't like SuBo, but I do like judo." That was one of his.

Good stuff. Now, Laura. Hello.

Welcome to the show. What do you do, Laura?

I'm a nurse. I work in A&E.

Do you enjoy it? I love it. Best job ever. Good for you.

When you're not doing that... I like to do some cooking,

I'm keen on astrology and I spend my time looking after my son.

Here's one, here's one. What star sign am I?

I'll say sagittarius, but I bet that's wrong. Wow. How about Rich?

A capricorn.

Why do you think Xander is a sagittarius? What is it about him?

Because he's charming. So sagittarians are charming?

Yeah. Get in. Are you sagittarian?!

There you go. Don't say it with surprise now!

Shows I need to do a bit more hobbies than astrology.

Or... Or maybe that it's made up. It shows us one of the two.

Very good, Laura. What are you going to go for?

Well, this is a poor round for me.

I'm going to take a stab at Geoffrey Chaucer.

Geoffrey Chaucer says Laura. Let's see how many people said that.

Absolutely right. Well done, Laura.

23 our high score, 17 our low.

30 for Geoffrey Chaucer.

Not bad.

Good answer. Geoffrey Chaucer sounds very noble, doesn't it?

Geoff Chaucer sounds like a friend of your dad's.

Thanks. Now, Meghan.

Hiya. Welcome back, Meghan.

What happened last time? Jack and I went out in the head-to-head.

We lost 2-0. But you made it through to the head-to-head. We did indeed.

Which also means they got through the French prime ministers round,

despite Jean-Claude Antoi...

Now, then, Meghan.

Remind us what you do. I'm a student at Strathclyde University.

Studying finance. Yes. Good.

Now, you have this board. It's all yours.

A few unanswered poets there. Could you take us through them?

I'm not sure, but something's telling me it's Lewis Carroll.

I'm pretty sure it's Thomas Wilde. I'm not sure about the other two.

I'm going to go with my gut and go with Thomas Wilde.

Thomas Wilde says Meghan.

Let's see how many of our 100 people thought Thomas Wilde was right.

Oh, bad luck, Meghan.

Very famous Irishman.

Scores you the maximum 100 points.

Not Thomas Wilde. Yes, Meghan, they won't be happy in Ireland.

It's Oscar Wilde. Ohh.

It would've scored 73 points.

It's a very big scorer.

You should've gone for Carroll. It is Lewis Carroll. You knew that one.

Would've scored you 53 points. Wouldn't have been a terrible score.

Milton? John. John Milton, yep.

Would've scored you 33. And Sassoon?

Siegfried. Siegfried Sassoon, yep.

He would've scored you 20.

So the best answer on the board is Benjamin Zephaniah. Well done, Luke.

Thanks, Richard. Let's look at the scores.

17 the best score of that pass. Well done, Luke.

Luke and Hannah can say they have a commanding lead at this stage.

Then 23 for Ann and John,

30, Laura and Barbara

and a long way up to 100, where we find Meghan and Jack.

Jack, it may be that the next board is a hard one.

And by the time it comes down this end, there aren't many options,

so if you score low, it might be enough to keep you in.

Best of luck. Can the second players please come to the podium?

OK, let's put seven more poets on the board.

I'll read those one last time.

We're looking for their first names.

Jack, you have to find the one you think the fewest people knew.

So, Jack.

You are also a student? Uh-huh.

Studying another branch of finance. Yeah, business accounting.

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

Not poetry.

Not poetry. Have you at any time got up to poetry,

in your spare time or school time?

No.

Nothing there that rings a bell?

Well, one does.

The very top one, but I'm pretty sure it's going to be quite high.

OK.

The others don't even ring any bells,

so I think the answer I'm going to have to go for is Robbie Burns.

Robbie Burns. You say Robbie Burns.

Well, you're on 100.

Let's see how many people said Robbie Burns.

It's right.

58. Takes your total up to 158.

Ooh, there'll be plenty of Scottish people shouting "Rabbie!"

Rabbie, yeah. Robert, Rabbie. 58 points whichever way you say it.

Rabbie Burns. Thanks very much.

Now, Barbara. Welcome to the show. What do you do?

I work for the fire service.

What bit of the fire service?

I'm a community safety officer. I'm not a fire fighter.

So you inspect premises... Well, not so much that.

I try and prevent people from having fires.

So stuff in schools and visiting people at home. It's a nice job.

Very satisfying, I should think. And in your spare time?

I sing in a gospel choir. Wow, how long have you done that for?

About eight years.

OK. Now, Barbara, I have good news - you're through to the next round.

I should've told you that. That's nice.

Even if you score 100 points. Right.

I had one that I thought I think I know it, but I daren't say it

and one that I think I do know. What shall I do?

I'll say the one I'm not sure... Why not?

It's good to have a low aggregate.

Is it William Coleridge?

William Coleridge says Barbara.

No red line as you're already through. Let's see if it's right

and how many people said it.

No, it's not. Bad luck, Barbara.

Not William Coleridge. That scores you 100 points, takes you to 130.

Yeah, that's the time to take a risk, when you're already through.

No harm done at all.

Hannah, guess what - you're also through.

Yeah! Very good indeed.

Hannah, remind us what you do. You do many, many things.

Face-painting business with my sister,

I study English literature and media...

Ooh, you let that out the bag! I know, but it's just blank

and my friends are going to be screaming... English literature.

The literature of England. I know, but I don't do poetry.

Don't do it. It's creative writing and stuff like that.

Erm...

I am going to go... Charles Dickinson.

Charles Dickinson.

HE LAUGHS

Famous Victorian writer with "on" on the end.

Yes. Charles Dickinson.

No red line for you, you're already through.

Let's see how many people said Charles Dickinson.

No, bad luck.

I'm afraid not Charles Dickinson.

That scores you the maximum of 100 points - takes you to 117.

For anyone who's doing English literature,

certainly creative writing, you must know your poets.

Go and read some poetry. If you want to be a better writer,

there's more meaning and style to the pound in these people

than in any book you'll read.

So I would recommend knowing your poets. Well said.

John, welcome to the show. You are from Exeter. I am.

What do you do down there?

I work for Devon County Council in an HR role.

I do assessments on people when they come to apply for jobs.

So when they apply?

It's not assessments continually and before they get fired?

No... You're not the last person they saw?

Yeah, the first. The first person. Hey, nice John!

In your spare time, what do you do? I read quite a lot,

but not much poetry, to be honest.

I like travelling, I like to go to Italy whenever I can

and learning languages, bit of photography.

Now, John, that board is all yours. Do you fancy taking us through it?

Erm, well, I think it's Wilfred Owen

and I think it's Emily Dickinson.

Erm, I think it might be Thomas Coleridge.

I don't know the next one

and I want to say Ezra Pound.

I've heard of Ezra Pound.

And Ted Hughes.

Well, you're already through. The high scorers are way ahead,

so why not take a punt?

Well, let's go Ezra Pound.

Ezra Pound. Let's see if it's right and how many people said Ezra Pound.

Very well done, John. Well worth it.

19. Brilliant.

Second lowest score of the round.

Well done. 42 your total.

Well played, John. Restoring some sanity to that pass.

You did fairly well on the rest.

Wilfred Owen, you're right, the First World War poet.

He died seven days before the end of the War. Would've scored you 23.

Emily Dickinson, not Charles Dickinson. Would've scored 18.

Funnily enough, 14 of our 100 also said Charles Dickinson.

In good company. Everybody's having trouble with Coleridge.

Samuel Taylor. Samuel Taylor Coleridge, yeah. Would've scored 33.

The best answer on the board is Dowson. Very tricky one.

Do you know Dowson? No. It's Ernest Dowson. Died very young.

His most famous line probably was

"They are not long, the days of wine and roses." He wasn't wrong.

And, right at the bottom, Ted Hughes.

It would've scored you 30 points.

So our 100 did very well.

Slightly shaky in the studio here, especially amongst our students.

Yes. Could do better. Thank you.

At the end of round one, the pair who'll be heading home, with 158 -

they were in the head-to-head last time -

I'm so sorry, Jack and Meghan. What went wrong?

I'll tell you what went wrong - poetry. Yeah, probably right.

Yeah. Do you know, people don't really read poetry any more.

It's a real shame. As Richard said, it's worth reading.

Anyway, it's been lovely having you on. Sorry to say goodbye so soon.

Jack and Meghan, lovely contestants. Thanks so much.

For the remainder, it's time for round two.

So, at the end of this round, we'll say goodbye to another pair.

Best of luck. Our category for round two is...

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

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

And the question concerns...

Richard. Xander's about to show you the names of six actors.

We're looking for the name of any animated feature film

in which any of these actors received a credit.

No TV films. Any animated films made for cinema release.

We're looking for the title as it was released in the UK, please.

So this board will remain up for the whole round.

There'll be six actors there all the way up and down the line.

We won't change the board halfway through.

Let's put those six actors up. Here are their names.

I'll read them again.

We want any animated film for which any of these actors

received a credit for a voice performance.

Now, Ann...

Erm, well, this isn't a good round, to be honest.

I'm going to have to totally guess.

Erm...

So I'm going to say Toy Story.

OK. Ann says Toy Story.

Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.

It's right.

59.

59 for Toy Story. A big scorer. It's not 100 though, so could be worse.

Tom Hanks was, of course, Woody in that film.

He recorded his part in recording breaks in Sleepless In Seattle

and League Of Their Own.

Now, Luke, this surely plays into your hands, doesn't it?

Erm, yes.

I'm not a big fan of the animated films so much.

I could name a lot of the ones where their real faces are in them.

But I've got one that I think is slightly more obscure.

Erm, Return Of Jafar.

Robin Williams.

Return Of Jafar. Return Of Jafar.

Let's see if it's right and how many of our 100 people said it.

Ooh, bad luck, Luke.

That's an incorrect answer, scoring you the maximum of 100 points.

Straight to video, that film, and none of those six were in it,

even though you may think one of them was.

Someone sounding like one of them was in it, but it wasn't him.

Thanks very much. Now, Barbara.

How do you feel about this?

Erm, I know a couple.

Staying on the same theme, Aladdin.

Aladdin says Barbara.

Let's see if it's right.

Absolutely right.

28.

Good answer, Barbara. 28 for Aladdin.

Yeah, Robin Williams playing the blue genie.

And Return To Jafar was a stright-to-DVD follow-up of that.

It was Dan Castellaneta from The Simpsons who provided the voice.

It wasn't Robin Williams.

Thanks very much indeed. Halfway through, let's look at the scores.

28 the lowest score there. Well done, Barbara.

Up to 59, with Ann and John,

and Luke and Hannah on 100. Bad luck.

That's a 100 that we like because you took a risk

and that was really bad luck.

But you are still the high scorers, so, Hannah, bit of pressure on you.

Can the second players please take their places at the podium?

We are looking for any animated film

for which any of these actors was credited for a voice performance.

Laura, you're on 28. The high scorers are on 100.

If you can score 71 or less, you are in the head-to-head.

I'm having a debate with myself

because I definitely know a very obvious one

and I know a few that I haven't seen, I think,

and I don't know whether to go with those. I think I might,

so I'm going to go for Kung Fu Panda - Jack Black.

Kung Fu Panda says Laura.

Let's see how many of our 100 people said it. There's your red line.

It's right.

And you are through to the next round.

29 for Kung Fu Panda.

Takes your total up to 57.

Yeah, he plays the Kung Fu Panda himself - Po.

Thanks very much indeed.

Now, Hannah.

What we need from you is a very low score.

Erm, I know quite a few of them,

it's just trying to decide which to go for.

I think I'm going to go for the Corpse Bride - Johnny Depp.

The Corpse Bride says Hannah. No red line as you're the high scorers,

but let's see how far down the column the Corpse Bride takes us.

Absolutely right.

Very well done, Hannah. 10 for the Corpse Bride.

The best score of the round so far.

Giving yourself a chance, Hannah. Johnny Depp in that Tim Burton film.

OK and, John, finally you. What are you going to go for?

The high scorers are on 110.

If you can score 50 or less, you are through to the next round.

Yeah. I'm not as happy with this as the poets, really.

When it started off, I could only think of Aladdin and Shrek.

So I'm going with Shrek.

You're going to say Shrek. OK, here comes your red line.

If you get below it, you are through. Is Shrek right?

If it is, how many people said it?

It is right.

Ooh! 55 for Shrek,

takes your total up to 114.

Tough luck. It is Mike Myers, but too many points.

If you'd followed Ann's lead and said Toy Story 2 or Toy Story 3,

you'd've been safely through to the next round.

Toy Story 2 would've scored 19 and Toy Story 3 would've scored 17.

In fact, Shrek 2 would've scored you 14

and Shrek The Third would've scored you 5,

so there were some low scores out there.

But very good news for podium two.

There was no pointless answers. I'll show you the lowest answers.

Brad Pitt was in Sinbad: Legend Of The Seven Seas.

Shrek Forever After was Mike Myers of course

and Robin Williams was in Ferngully: The Last Rainforest.

A few other low scorers -

Tom Hanks, The Polar Express, would've scored you 9.

Robin Williams, Happy Feet, was 5

and Robots was 8 - both very good answers.

Erm, Johnny Depp - we've had the best answer - Corpse Bride.

Jack Black, his best answer was Shark Tale or Ice Age.

Both of those scored 4 points.

And Brad Pitt, MegaMind, would've scored you 6.

Let's look at the worst answers, the top three scorers.

We've heard all three of them, I'm afraid.

Kung Fu Panda was third, 29,

and Shrek and Toy Story up the top.

Punishingly high scores, I'm afraid.

Thanks, Richard. So the pair who'll be leaving us,

with their high score of 114, it's John and Ann.

I'm really sorry, that was tough.

Had you gone for sequels, we'd be saying goodbye to Luke and Hannah.

That was my reserve. If Hannah went for Shrek, I was going Shrek 2,

but it didn't happen. Ah, well. We will see you again next time.

Meantime, thanks for playing, John and Ann.

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

Congratulations, Barbara and Laura, Hannah and Luke,

you are one step closer to playing for our jackpot,

which now stands at...

To decide who's going to play for that money, you'll go head to head.

The difference is you can confer.

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

Barbara and Laura, our lowest scorers in the head-to-head round.

Hannah and Luke, you've each given a brilliant answer

and each given a wrong answer. Now you can put your heads together.

You are going to be unstoppable. This will be an exciting round.

Let's play the head-to-head.

Ok, here comes your first question and it concerns...

Sporting venues. Richard?

Five pictures of features of different UK sporting venues -

you need to tell us how each venue is commonly known. Best of luck.

Thanks very much. Let's reveal our sporting venues.

Here they are.

HE CHUCKLES

There we are. Five sporting venues.

Barbara and Laura, you've played best so far, so you go first.

THEY WHISPER

E is Craven Cottage.

Oh, is it? Because it's Mohamed Al-Fayed.

I don't know, what do you think?

OK... OK.

What are you going to say, Laura?

For Richard, we're going to go for E and we're going for Craven Cottage.

Craven Cottage say Barbara and Laura, for E.

Hannah and Luke, the board is yours. Can you talk us through it?

A is Henman Hill at Wimbledon.

Erm...

As for the others -

C, Royal Birkdale or... a golf course, I'm guessing.

Erm...

The other two, I'm not sure at all.

Er, so I'll say...

C - Royal Birkdale.

C - Royal Birkdale. Royal Birkdale.

So Craven Cottage versus Royal Birkdale.

Barbara and Laura said Craven Cottage. Let's see if it's right

and how many of our 100 said it.

It's right.

There we go - 10 for Craven Cottage. Very well done.

Good to go with your instinct, Laura.

Now, Hannah and Luke have gone for the Royal Birkdale for C.

Royal Birkdale. Let's see if it's right and how many people said it.

Ooh, bad luck.

An incorrect answer, which means, Barbara and Laura,

you're up 1-0.

It's beautiful, the Michael Jackson statue at Craven Cottage.

And it is just the perfect place for that, isn't it?

It's lovely. The Fulham chairman, Mohamed Al-Fayed, put it up

and he can do whatever he wants - in my opinion.

It does make me laugh. It's not even a bronze statue,

it's like a waxwork. It's terrible.

It doesn't even look like him.

To be fair, it isn't him. It's a statue of him.

I know, I know. Some statues...

I daresay statues can be forgiven.

But it's big as well. It's up high and, yeah, it is quite something.

Still, there it is.

C - it is a golf course. It's the Old Course at St Andrews.

That's the Swilcan Bridge.

Would've scored you 32 points.

A was Wimbledon,

but that would've scored you 70.

B is the best answer on the board.

That lion is at Twickenham.

Well done if you said that. Would've scored you 4 points.

Do you know D? That's Lord's. It is.

That would've scored 45, so some big scorers up there.

Thanks very much. Here comes your second question.

Hannah and Luke, you have to win it to stay in the game.

It concerns...

Richard? Yes, five anagrams of US Presidents.

Can you unscramble them and pick the most obscure?

OK, let's reveal our five anagrams of US Presidents.

I'll read those one last time.

Now, Hannah and Luke, you will answer this one first.

THEY WHISPER

We're going to go with the bottom one -

Ronald Reagan. Ronald Reagan.

"An oral danger" - Ronald Reagan.

Now, then, Barbara and Laura,

the rest of the board is yours. Talk us through it.

We think the first one is Abraham Lincoln.

And...

The third one is George Washington.

And Barack Obama is "Aback a rambo".

It's whether we go George Washington or Abraham Lincoln.

George Washington. George Washington. "He gets going on war".

Ronald Reagan versus George Washington.

Hannah and Luke say Ronald Reagan. Let's see how many people said it.

It was right, obviously.

You want this as low as possible.

15, not bad. A good score.

You have to hope that's enough to win it. If not, it's goodbye to you.

Barbara and Laura say George Washington. Let's see if it's right.

It's right.

If that beats 15, it will win you the round.

And it does - 8!

8. Very well done, Barbara and Laura.

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

You were right about Abraham Lincoln as well.

It was close and you went for the right one

because Abraham Lincoln would've scored you 9 points.

"Aback a rambo", obviously, is Barack Obama -

would've scored you 59 points.

The other one is a pointless answer

to anybody who knew it was...

Benjamin Harrison. Well done if you said that.

Thanks, Richard. So, at the end of our head-to-head round,

we say goodbye to Hannah and Luke.

Well, you've had ups and downs in this show, I have to say.

Some brilliant moments and... some slightly hair-raising moments!

Don't like presidents. Yeah, they haven't done you any favours,

French or American, I'm afraid.

But it's been great having you on the show,

thank you for playing - Hannah and Luke!

For Barbara and Laura, it's time for our Pointless Final!

Barbara and Laura, you've seen off the competition

and won our coveted Pointless trophy - well done.

You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot,

which stands at...

You've played very well. You've had only one misstep in the entire show,

which was William Coleridge.

Apart from that, lovely low scoring.

Best of luck for this round.

You start by choosing a category.

We have four options for you to choose from. They are...

THEY WHISPER

Yeah, I'm feeling it.

You're feeling musicals. Yeah. Certainly not Irish music.

Musicals, please. Unless it's The Pogues. No, no, musicals.

Musicals. We've decided, I think.

The Pogues or The Corrs. So, yeah, musicals!

Musicals it is. Richard? We're going to give you a little choice here.

You can choose your answers from any of these three categories.

Can you give us any stage show Elaine Paige has starred in,

from 1968 up to 2012, according to her own website.

Any films starring Judy Garland -

films made for cinema release.

Or any songs in the musical

Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

I hope those categories suit you.

You've got up to a minute to come up with three answers.

To win the jackpot of £4,000, one of those answers needs to be pointless.

Your answers can come from any of these categories.

It's up to you - it can be one from each, two from one, one from another

or three from one. It's up to you.

Are you ready? Yes. OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.

Your time starts now.

Judy Garland was in Meet Me In St Louis.

And in The Wizard Of Oz.

Elaine Paige was in Cats.

Yep. Erm... She's been in quite a few Andrew Lloyd Webber...

I'm not very good with Lloyd Webber.

She was definitely in Cats...

What about songs in Joseph? Close Every Door?

That's a good one. It is Close Every Door, isn't it?

Yeah. Close Every Door.

Meet Me In St Louis, I'm sure she's in. I'm doubting myself.

No, I think you're right. And Cats.

Can you think of another one? It's not going to be pointless, Cats.

It would be a guess. Lloyd Webber... Starlight Express.

She wasn't in that, was she?

But I know she was in...

Ten seconds left. I think we'll have to go for those.

OK. So Cats,

Meet Me In St Louis and whatever you said...

I think it's right. It's a gamble.

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

OK. For Elaine Paige stage shows, we're going to go for Cats.

Films starring Judy Garland - Meet Me In St Louis. Meet Me In St Louis.

And songs in Joseph -

Close Every Door. Close Every Door.

OK, of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?

Cats would have to be last. Yeah, Cats is our worst shot.

Do your Joseph. Do you think?

Go for the Joseph thing... Close Every Door we'll put last.

Which is your least likely? Elaine Paige one. Cats.

OK, let's put those up on the board in that order. We have got...

Well, very best of luck. Your first answer was Cats -

the one you thought least likely to be pointless.

But if it is correct, you will win £4,000.

What would you do with it, Barbara?

Erm, buy a new statue for Richard's football stadium.

Well, you'd get some change out of four grand.

We don't need another one.

We should put YOU up there.

There is not enough bronze in the world.

I couldn't say that that's a good idea. I'll leave that to others.

But as a supporter of the club, it would have an appropriateness.

Laura, how about you?

I think we'd go on holiday. Our family's from Greece. We'd go there.

Lovely. Let's hope one of these answers sees you off to Greece

and sees a nice statue erected outside Craven Cottage.

Now, if it's correct, as I say, it'll win you the jackpot.

So, for £4,000,

is Cats a musical starring Elaine Paige?

Absolutely right it is.

If this takes you down to zero, you will leave here...

Weyy! 51.

It was right. It was right!

It was absolutely right. 51 people knew it was right.

51 per cent right. So not a pointless answer.

Your second answer was Meet Me In St Louis.

Let's find out if that's correct.

If it's pointless, it'll win that jackpot. So, for £4,000,

was Meet Me In St Louis a film starring Judy Garland?

It was. Now, 51 people knew that Elaine Paige was in Cats.

Meet Me In St Louis passes that mark,

down through the 20s, the teens, single figures...

9. 9 for Meet Me In St Louis.

That's more like it. A nice, single-figure score.

Very respectable. Not pointless.

Only one last chance to win that jackpot of £4,000.

Your final answer was Close Every Door.

If it's pointless, it will win you the jackpot.

Was Close Every Door a song

from Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat?

It's right. Cats took you down to 51.

Your second answer, Meet Me In St Louis, took you down to 9.

Close Every Door is taking you down through the teens...

Oh, 6! Oh, bad luck!

Two good scores out of those three,

but none of them pointless, so you don't win the jackpot of £4,000,

which rolls over to the next show.

We've loved having you on the show. And you do take home a trophy each.

APPLAUSE

Yeah, I'm sorry about the category, sorry you couldn't get a pointless.

Let's look at some of them in case people at home have got one.

Elaine Paige stage shows - she was in Hair back in the early days.

Sweeney Todd was pointless, The King & I, The Misanthrope.

You could also have had Billy, Follies, Piaf was pointless.

Judy Garland - Babes On Broadway, For Me And My Gal were pointless,

as were In The Good Old Summertime and Thoroughbreds Don't Cry.

And the final one was songs in Joseph.

Go, Go, Go Joseph, Joseph's Dreams, Pharaoh's Story,

Stone The Crows you could have had.

In fact, any song from Joseph other than Any Dream Will Do,

which would've scored 23. Close Every Door we've had.

Poor, Poor Joseph scored points and Jacob & Sons, Joseph's Coat.

But anything else on that soundtrack would've won you the money.

Well done if you got any of those.

Thanks, Richard. Well, we have to say goodbye, Barbara and Laura,

but thank you for playing. Thank you very much.

Well, they didn't win our jackpot,

which means it rolls over to the next show, when we'll play for...

Join us next time. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard... Goodbye.

And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
