0:00:18 > 0:00:21APPLAUSE
0:00:21 > 0:00:24Thanks very much. Hello. I'm Alexander Armstrong.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Welcome to Pointless, the show where obvious answers mean nothing
0:00:27 > 0:00:31and obscure answers mean everything. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:31 > 0:00:35APPLAUSE
0:00:35 > 0:00:38- Couple number one.- I'm Jamie. This is my grandad, Bob.
0:00:38 > 0:00:42I'm from Hertfordshire and Bob's from South Bedfordshire.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44- Couple number two. - My name's Frankie.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46I'm from Bristol, with my son-in-law, Darren.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48- Couple number three. - Hi, I'm Marjorie.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50I'm from Warkworth in Northumberland.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53This is my brother, Don, from Morpeth in Northumberland.
0:00:53 > 0:00:54And, finally, couple number four.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Hi. My name's Chris. This is Trudy. We're friends.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00I'm from Newcastle upon Tyne. Trudy's from Stamford in Northumberland.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02And these are today's contestants.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04APPLAUSE
0:01:04 > 0:01:08Thanks, all of you. We'll find out more about you throughout the show.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11So that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13His nickname at college was Little Richard,
0:01:13 > 0:01:14which you might think was ironic,
0:01:14 > 0:01:17but it was cos he was really into Gospel music.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21- It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.- Hiya. Hi, everybody.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24APPLAUSE Hiya.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27- Good afternoon.- And to you, Richard. - How are you?- I'm very well.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30There's some nice relationships amongst today's pairs.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33- I always think a grandfather/grandson team is a nice team.- Very nice.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36That's what we've got on podium one.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39On podium two, we're got father-in-law/son-in-law.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Guys, with respect, I always worry about it. Don't you think?
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Come on! If Darren messes up, Frankie,
0:01:45 > 0:01:49there's always going to be a bit of you going, "Could have done better!"
0:01:49 > 0:01:52You're going to be blaming your daughter a bit.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55And podiums three and four, I think they're all Northumbrian.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58All Northumbrians. This is heaven for me.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02- That's nice. Should be a cracking show.- Thanks very much, Richard.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Now, all our questions on Pointless have been put to 100 people.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09As ever, the aim of the game is to find a pointless answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13Each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Jim and Jacqueline didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:02:15 > 0:02:17which means we add another £1,000 to that.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20So today's jackpot starts off at...
0:02:21 > 0:02:24APPLAUSE
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Right. If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30APPLAUSE
0:02:32 > 0:02:34OK, the pair with the highest score
0:02:34 > 0:02:36at the end of the round will, of course, be eliminated.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Remember at all times - there is to be no conferring.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Our first category for today is...
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Fictional characters.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50Can you all decide in your pairs who's going first and second?
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57OK, and the question concerns...
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Fictional servants, Richard.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05On each pass, we're going to show you
0:03:05 > 0:03:07seven descriptions of famous fictional butlers,
0:03:07 > 0:03:09valets, manservants, all that sort of thing,
0:03:09 > 0:03:12you just need to give us the most obscure answer.
0:03:12 > 0:03:1514 clues in all, 14 to guess at home. Very best of luck.
0:03:15 > 0:03:16Thanks very much.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20So we are looking for the fictional servants described by these clues.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Here is our first board of seven.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56I'll read those all one final time.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29There we are. Seven clues to seven fictional servants
0:04:29 > 0:04:32and, Bob, you all drew lots before the show.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Today, you and Jamie are going to go first.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Bob, welcome to the show. Great to have you here.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42- What do you do, Bob? - I'm now retired.- What did you do?
0:04:42 > 0:04:45- I was in retail management. - Did you do anything else?
0:04:45 > 0:04:49- I was a driving instructor. Town centre manager.- Town centre manager!
0:04:49 > 0:04:52- The centre of which town? - Letchworth.- Wonderful.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56- What kind of things were you doing? - Organising events
0:04:56 > 0:04:59and different things to get people coming to the town of Letchworth.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03A lot of people going to the town of Letchworth. That's your legacy, Bob.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07Well done. Now then, which of these tickles your fancy?
0:05:07 > 0:05:09There's several I know on there.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12I'm going to go for the top one, that's Lurch.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15Lurch, says Bob. Let's see if that's right
0:05:15 > 0:05:18and if it is how many of our 100 people said it.
0:05:20 > 0:05:21Absolutely right.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25- 51 for Lurch. - APPLAUSE
0:05:29 > 0:05:31Great start, Bob. Well done.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Funnily enough, Ted Cassidy also almost always played the hand,
0:05:34 > 0:05:37- the disembodied hand as well. - Oh, really? That's nice.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41- Bit of information.- Did he get any extra cash for his hand acting?
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Yeah. Didn't pay tax either, it was cash in hand.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46LAUGHTER AND GROANS
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Yeah, I know.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51Right. Now, Frankie. Welcome. What do you do, Frankie?
0:05:51 > 0:05:54I'm a minibus driver, taking children with special needs
0:05:54 > 0:05:57- to and from school.- What do you like getting up to in your spare time?
0:05:57 > 0:06:01Singing and entertaining in pubs and clubs around the local area.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04- Do a bit of stand up as well, so... - Excellent. Good stuff.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06So what are you going to go for?
0:06:06 > 0:06:09This is not very good for me, actually.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13I'm going to take a punt at the third one down.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17Surely there must be a butler called James.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Frankie says James. Let's see if James is right.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26Bad luck, Frankie. Good guess, but an incorrect answer,
0:06:26 > 0:06:29- scores you the maximum of 100 points. Richard.- Sorry, Frankie.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32There'll be a butler called James somewhere, I'm sure,
0:06:32 > 0:06:35but not in Upstairs, Downstairs, not Gordon Jackson's character.
0:06:35 > 0:06:40- Thanks very much, Richard. Marjorie, welcome to Pointless.- Thank you.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43From Warkworth. What do you in Warkworth?
0:06:43 > 0:06:46I'm a retired primary school teacher.
0:06:46 > 0:06:51I like painting and sketching, walking along the beach,
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Italian conversation every week.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57- Just in the streets of Warkworth? - Sometimes!
0:06:57 > 0:07:01Occasionally. OK. How good is your conversation in Italian?
0:07:01 > 0:07:02Non c'e male.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05Oh, that's a shame. LAUGHTER
0:07:06 > 0:07:07Good stuff.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11Marjorie, there you are, there's a board of fictional servants.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14Well, um... I hope...
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Fourth one down, Jeeves.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19You're going to say Jeeves, Bertie Wooster's valet.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said Jeeves.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27It's right, of course.
0:07:27 > 0:07:2968. Very well done.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33APPLAUSE
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Yes, Reginald Jeeves. You said "valet" instead of "val-ay",
0:07:36 > 0:07:38I presume that's right. You know your stuff.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40We're never going to say "val-ay".
0:07:40 > 0:07:41It's French!
0:07:41 > 0:07:43- That's French, is it?- Yeah.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46I must come round to those conversational French classes at your house.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49- Oh, you should!- You always say to me, "Come round, it's on Dimanche,"
0:07:49 > 0:07:52and I literally don't know when to come.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55- Dimanche is the street I live on. - LAUGHTER
0:07:55 > 0:07:58- Thanks very much. Now then, Trudy. - Hello.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02Trudy, we discovered last time, the great love of your life is Zumba.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05- It is.- What exactly is Zumba? - It's like sort of a Latin rhythm,
0:08:05 > 0:08:09but you just shake everything you've got and just jump around.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13It's actually... It's exercise, but it's enjoyable exercise.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15You should give it a go.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17I am... I am almost sold on it.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21That sounds fantastic. You're the last person to have this board.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Do you fancy talking us through as much of it as you can?
0:08:24 > 0:08:28Well, I'd like to, but I don't know the second one down.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30I do feel like I should know the third one down.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33I've got Banks in my mind, but I don't know whether that's right.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35I don't know the Remains Of The Day one.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38The butler in Fresh Prince Of Bel Air, I've got
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Kennedy in my mind for that, but I don't think that's right,
0:08:41 > 0:08:45so I'm going to go for the bottom one, Bruce Wayne's butler,
0:08:45 > 0:08:48- which is Alfred.- Alfred, says Trudy. Let's see if Alfred's right.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Let's see how many people said Alfred.
0:08:56 > 0:09:01Well, it's our best correct score so far. Very well done. Look at that.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03- 24 for Alfred. - APPLAUSE
0:09:03 > 0:09:04Good answer.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Well played, Trudy. Played by Michael Caine,
0:09:08 > 0:09:11also played by Michael Gough in the previous films.
0:09:11 > 0:09:1424 points. There's a couple of toughies here.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17The butler in Upstairs, Downstairs is not James, it's Hudson.
0:09:17 > 0:09:18Would have scored you 21 points.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air, I bet you can see him,
0:09:21 > 0:09:24- and his name is...Geoffrey.- Yeah.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Would have scored you 17 points.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29The narrator of the Kazuo Ishiguro novel,
0:09:29 > 0:09:31played by Anthony Hopkins in the film -
0:09:31 > 0:09:32Stevens.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34- Yeah.- Would have scored 1 point.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37And the other one is a pointless answer. In Chigley.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39It's Brackett.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Very well done if you got that. It's a terrific answer. Brackett.
0:09:42 > 0:09:47Thanks very much. We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at the scores as they stand.
0:09:47 > 0:09:4824, the best score of that pass.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52That puts Trudy and Chris in a strong position.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Then up to 51, where we find Bob and Jamie.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57Then up to 68, where we find Marjorie and Don
0:09:57 > 0:10:00and up to 100, where we find Frankie and Darren.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02We're going to come back down the line.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:10:06 > 0:10:10We're going to put seven more descriptions of fictional servants
0:10:10 > 0:10:12on the board and here they are.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42I'll read those all one last time.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07There we are, seven clues to seven fictional servants.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Chris, obviously, you're going to try
0:11:09 > 0:11:13and find the one you think the fewest of our 100 people knew. Remind us what you do.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16I'm an administrator at Newcastle University.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19We discovered last time you spend a lot of your time travelling abroad.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21I have done, yeah. I've been to many different places.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24- Handing out brochures. - Yeah, basically!
0:11:24 > 0:11:27- And encouraging people to come and study in the North East.- Absolutely.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30So people you've personally recruited have come through
0:11:30 > 0:11:33- and graduated.- They have indeed. They probably all failed.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36I wouldn't believe that for a second, Chris!
0:11:36 > 0:11:38You're the first person to dive in on this board,
0:11:38 > 0:11:42so why not see if you can find a nice low-scoring answer?
0:11:42 > 0:11:46I have to say my heart rather sank when I saw the category,
0:11:46 > 0:11:48but there is one up there that I know,
0:11:48 > 0:11:50which is Lady Penelope's butler in Thunderbirds
0:11:50 > 0:11:53- and that is Parker. - Parker, says Chris. Parker.
0:11:53 > 0:11:54There you are on 24.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57The high scorers are Darren and Frankie on 100.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01If you can get below that red line and score 75 or less, you are through to the next round.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Let's see if Parker's right. Let's see how many people said it.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09Well done, Chris. That's everything it needed to be.
0:12:09 > 0:12:1154, it scores you.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13- APPLAUSE - 78 is your total.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Yes, he was a safe cracker
0:12:15 > 0:12:18before becoming Lady Penelope's butler and chauffeur.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22Gerry Anderson said it was the favourite of all his creations
0:12:22 > 0:12:26- in all of his series, Parker. - I can see why.- Yeah.- Very good.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29Don, welcome to the show. Great to have you here.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31What have you done in your life?
0:12:31 > 0:12:35I left school when I was 16 and worked down the mine.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39Went to college, became an analytical chemist
0:12:39 > 0:12:42and a production manager with a pharmaceutical company,
0:12:42 > 0:12:44had a spell in teaching.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47I've worked for an educational charity.
0:12:47 > 0:12:51And I also worked for a cigarette company.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55But what ELSE have you done? LAUGHTER
0:12:55 > 0:13:01- What do you do for fun, Don?- I watch Morpeth Rugby Club every Saturday.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03I have an allotment. I play golf.
0:13:03 > 0:13:08I play dominoes every Friday night and take money off my friends.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12A friend of mine has a boat and we go out sea fishing.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16I do a bit of beating at shoots and I go lobstering in the summer.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19But what ELSE do you do, Don? LAUGHTER
0:13:19 > 0:13:24- Now, that is a fabulous life. Listen to that.- I enjoy it, yes.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28- Now then, Don. How do we feel about this board?- Dreadful.- Oh, really?
0:13:28 > 0:13:31I should know the butler in Downton Abbey,
0:13:31 > 0:13:34but I can't remember his name.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37So I'll just have to have a guess and say Thompson.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40Thompson, says Don, for the butler in Downton Abbey.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43Let's see if Thompson's right. Let's see how many people said it.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45There's your red line.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50Oh, but there's your red cross, I'm afraid, Don.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53That's an incorrect answer, scores you 100 points,
0:13:53 > 0:13:54takes your total up to 168.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58You may still be through. You never know.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02- Sorry, Don. It is a tougher board, this one.- It is. Thanks very much.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06- Darren, welcome to the show. - Thank you.- Good to have you here.
0:14:06 > 0:14:11- What do you do?- I work for a company that fits out pubs.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13That's just a dream job, isn't it?
0:14:13 > 0:14:15That's the one job missing from Don's CV.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17LAUGHTER
0:14:17 > 0:14:19You're a beer fitter.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23- A beer technician.- A beer tech...! Of course you are!
0:14:23 > 0:14:24A beer technician.
0:14:24 > 0:14:29Brilliant. You're on 100. The high scorers are Don and Marjorie on 168.
0:14:29 > 0:14:34If you can score 67 or less, you are through to the next round.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36How do you find the board?
0:14:36 > 0:14:39Horrible. I'm not going to lie!
0:14:39 > 0:14:41I'm going to have a guess at the butler
0:14:41 > 0:14:45voiced by Jack May in Count Duckula was Godfrey.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47Godfrey. Is that a complete guess?
0:14:47 > 0:14:48That is a complete guess.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52There is your red line. If you get below that red line with Godfrey,
0:14:52 > 0:14:55you are through to the next round. Let's see if Godfrey is right.
0:14:55 > 0:14:56Let's see how many people said it.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00No. Bad luck, Darren.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03I'm afraid Godfrey is an incorrect answer, scores you 100 points,
0:15:03 > 0:15:06takes your total up to 200.
0:15:06 > 0:15:07Not Godfrey, I'm afraid.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09At least Frankie got 100 as well, so I think you got away with it!
0:15:09 > 0:15:12LAUGHTER
0:15:12 > 0:15:17Thanks. Now, Jamie. Welcome to Pointless. Good to have you here.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20- What do you do, Jamie? - I'm a software engineer.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23And when you're not working at your computer, what do you get up to?
0:15:23 > 0:15:25I really enjoy playing football,
0:15:25 > 0:15:28playing golf and just generally keeping fit as well.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31- I like to go to the gym maybe four or five times a week.- OK, good.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35That's a lot of times a week. Now then, this board is all yours.
0:15:35 > 0:15:40- Before you venture onto it, how do we feel about it?- Terrible.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44I'm so happy that I haven't got to give a correct answer.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Who said you haven't got to give a correct answer?
0:15:46 > 0:15:47LAUGHTER
0:15:47 > 0:15:50- Did you say that? - No, he's worked it out, though.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53No, you will survive if you don't give a correct answer.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56I'd like to think we all would. I think a correct answer is in order.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00I wouldn't put my hopes on it, he's changed the rules.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Well, do you want to just talk us through the board?
0:16:02 > 0:16:05See if anything suddenly springs to mind.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08Absolutely no idea for the first.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12I'm going to have a guess at the butler in Downton Abbey and say...
0:16:12 > 0:16:14Barry.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17LAUGHTER
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Barry Butler.
0:16:19 > 0:16:20LAUGHTER
0:16:20 > 0:16:23OK, Jamie is saying Barry the Butler.
0:16:23 > 0:16:24There's no red line for you
0:16:24 > 0:16:27because you're already through, just as well.
0:16:27 > 0:16:28LAUGHTER
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Let's find out if Barry's right for the butler.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36No, I'm afraid it's not.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39An incorrect answer scores you the maximum of 100 points,
0:16:39 > 0:16:41takes your total up to 151.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43But you are through. Very well done.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45That was a tough round, Richard.
0:16:45 > 0:16:50Well... We'll fill in the board. It might take some while.
0:16:50 > 0:16:55Now, the butler in Downton Abbey, it's not Barry, it is...
0:16:55 > 0:16:56Carson.
0:16:56 > 0:17:00Carson is the answer. 17 points for him.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03The other biggest scorer on there is Clouseau's manservant.
0:17:03 > 0:17:07- Cato.- Cato, yeah. Would have scored 24 points.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10Now, the butler in the film Clue...
0:17:10 > 0:17:11was Wadsworth.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13Would have scored you 1 point.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15The butler in Arthur, played by John Gielgud,
0:17:15 > 0:17:17was Hobson.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19Would have scored you 2 points.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21The butler in Count Duckula
0:17:21 > 0:17:23was Igor.
0:17:23 > 0:17:24Igor would have scored you 5 points.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27And the manservant in Rocky Horror Picture Show, do you know that one?
0:17:27 > 0:17:29Riff Raff.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Riff Raff is the right answer. Would have scored you 7.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34So there's four answers there in single figures.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36That is a very, very tough board.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38Thank you very much indeed.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41So at the end of our first round, the pair heading home with 200,
0:17:41 > 0:17:43I'm afraid it's Frankie and Darren.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46That wasn't a kind round for you, was it? I'm sorry.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Not much of a welcome to Pointless.
0:17:48 > 0:17:49But you will be back next time,
0:17:49 > 0:17:52when I can't promise you it'll be easier,
0:17:52 > 0:17:54but I'd like to think you'll have an easier ride of it.
0:17:54 > 0:17:59Meantime, it's been lovely having you on the show. Thanks for playing, Darren and Frankie.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01APPLAUSE
0:18:01 > 0:18:04But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06APPLAUSE
0:18:09 > 0:18:10And so three pairs remain.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13We will be saying goodbye to another pair at the end of this round.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18Our category for Round Two is...
0:18:22 > 0:18:26Politicians. Can you decide in your pairs who's going first and second?
0:18:26 > 0:18:30And, whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34OK, and the question concerns...
0:18:38 > 0:18:41- Home Secretaries, Richard. - If there's one thing I've learnt in Pointless,
0:18:41 > 0:18:44- it's that people love a round about politics.- Oh, don't they?
0:18:44 > 0:18:46- Yeah, it's their favourite.- Yeah.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48Xander's going to show you the names of five Prime Ministers.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51We need you to tell us the name of anyone
0:18:51 > 0:18:54who acted as Home Secretary under any of those Prime Ministers, please.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56- Very best of luck. - Thanks very much.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59Now, as Richard mentioned, we're going to put the names of five
0:18:59 > 0:19:02Prime Ministers up on the board and they'll stay up for the whole round,
0:19:02 > 0:19:04as we go up the line and as we come back down.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07We just want the names of any Home Secretaries who served under
0:19:07 > 0:19:11any of these Prime Ministers. And our five Prime Ministers are...
0:19:18 > 0:19:21So there we are. We are looking for Home Secretaries.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Bob, you are going to go first.
0:19:23 > 0:19:24Thank you.
0:19:24 > 0:19:28Not my good subject, I must admit that. Home Secretaries...
0:19:28 > 0:19:31- Jack Straw.- Jack Straw, says Bob. Let's see if that's right.
0:19:31 > 0:19:36Let's see how many of our 100 people said Jack Straw.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Absolutely right, of course.
0:19:42 > 0:19:4425.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47APPLAUSE
0:19:47 > 0:19:49- 25 for Jack Straw.- Well played, Bob.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Blair's Home Secretary between '97 and 2001.
0:19:52 > 0:19:57- Thanks very much. Now then, Don. - Yeah.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Well, I hope I've got the Christian name right.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03I'm going to say David Blunkett.
0:20:03 > 0:20:04David Blunkett, says Don.
0:20:04 > 0:20:09Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said David Blunkett.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11Absolutely right, of course.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Our only score so far is Jack Straw and that was 25.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15David Blunkett passes that,
0:20:15 > 0:20:16down it goes to 14.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Very well done indeed, Don. Good answer.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20APPLAUSE
0:20:22 > 0:20:27Well played, Don, also served under Blair, 2001-2004.
0:20:27 > 0:20:28Thanks very much, Richard.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31Now, Chris, what are you going to go for?
0:20:32 > 0:20:36Don't know whether to take a bit of a risk or play safe.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39I'm going to go with Theresa May.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Theresa May. Now, is that your playing safe or taking a risk?
0:20:42 > 0:20:45- Er, safe.- OK, Theresa May. Let's see if that's right,
0:20:45 > 0:20:48let's see how many of our 100 people said Theresa May.
0:20:50 > 0:20:55It's right. 25 is our high score, 14 our low. Theresa May...
0:20:55 > 0:20:5630.
0:21:01 > 0:21:02All safe and sound so far.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05She was appointed Home Secretary after the 2010 elections.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Thanks very much. Well, halfway through the round,
0:21:08 > 0:21:10let's take a look at those scores as they stand. 14, Don.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13Very much the best score of that pass, well done, you.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15Then up to 25 where we find Bob and Jamie.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18Up to 30 where we find Chris and Trudy.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20You're not too far ahead, Trudy, but a nice, low-scoring answer
0:21:20 > 0:21:23from you will keep you in the game. Best of luck.
0:21:23 > 0:21:24We're going to come back down the line,
0:21:24 > 0:21:27can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:21:30 > 0:21:32OK, now, Trudy.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34Remember, we are looking for Home Secretaries
0:21:34 > 0:21:37who served under any of these Prime Ministers.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40This really isn't my category at all.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42I'm just going to pluck a name out of the air,
0:21:42 > 0:21:45I'm afraid that's all I can do, and I'll say Margaret Beckett.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47Margaret Beckett, says Trudy.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49No red line for you as you are the high scorers
0:21:49 > 0:21:52but let's see how many people said Margaret Beckett.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57Ooh, bad luck, Trudy.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59I'm sorry to say that is an incorrect answer,
0:21:59 > 0:22:02which takes your total up to 130 points, having scored you 100.
0:22:02 > 0:22:03Sorry, Trudy,
0:22:03 > 0:22:06she was the first female Foreign Secretary, Margaret Beckett.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09Thanks very much, Richard. Marjorie.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12I've got great news for you, you are through to the head-to-head.
0:22:12 > 0:22:13Even if you score 100 points,
0:22:13 > 0:22:17you won't overtake the high score of Trudy and Chris.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19But I think you might have a good answer.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21I'm glad YOU think so, Alexander.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26I'm going to say straight out Willie Whitelaw.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28William Whitelaw says Marjorie.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31OK, Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said it.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34No red line for you as you are already through.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37It's right.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Look at that. Very well done indeed, Marjorie.
0:22:44 > 0:22:476 points for William Whitelaw.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Takes your total up to 20, very well done.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Great answer, Marjorie.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55Yeah, he was Thatcher's first Home Secretary from '79 to '83.
0:22:55 > 0:22:56She very famously said,
0:22:56 > 0:23:00"Every Prime Minister needs a Willie." That was her...
0:23:00 > 0:23:01I didn't want to say that.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05Thanks very much, Richard. Now then, Jamie.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07Jamie, again, you are already through which is good news,
0:23:07 > 0:23:09- you are in the head-to-head. - Very good news.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13Yeah, not a good category again but I'm going to have a guess
0:23:13 > 0:23:15and I'm going to say George Osborne.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17George Osborne says Jamie.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21Well, let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said it.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27Bad luck, Jamie, that's an incorrect answer,
0:23:27 > 0:23:30scores you the maximum of 100 points, takes your total up to 125.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Sorry, Jamie, at time of recording,
0:23:32 > 0:23:35Cameron's only had one Home Secretary and that was Theresa May, of course.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37George Osborne, Chancellor.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40Let's take a look at the answers by the different people.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43Tony Blair, you could have had Charles Clarke for 4,
0:23:43 > 0:23:45you could have had John Reid for 8
0:23:45 > 0:23:47and we've already had Jack Straw and David Blunkett.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50For Margaret Thatcher, we've already had William Whitelaw.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52You could have had David Waddington for 1.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55You could've had Leon Brittan for 1
0:23:55 > 0:23:56or Douglas Hurd for 12.
0:23:56 > 0:24:00Now, there's two pointless answers under the Harold Wilson category.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03You could've had Roy Jenkins, one of Harold Wilson's Home Secretaries,
0:24:03 > 0:24:04or you could've had Frank Soskice.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07You could have also had James Callaghan in that category for 6.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10Gordon Brown, you could have had Alan Johnson for 1
0:24:10 > 0:24:12or Jacqui Smith for 4.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14And David Cameron, we've already heard Theresa May.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16Thanks very much indeed.
0:24:16 > 0:24:17So, at the end of our second round,
0:24:17 > 0:24:21I'm afraid it's Trudy and Chris leaving us with 130.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24I thought you were going to be through to the head-to-head
0:24:24 > 0:24:27- at least.- What can you do, eh? - What can you do? I'm sorry.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29I'm afraid this is where we have to say goodbye
0:24:29 > 0:24:31but it's been lovely having you on the show.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Thank you so much for playing. Trudy and Chris.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35APPLAUSE
0:24:37 > 0:24:40But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for the head-to-head.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46Congratulations, Don and Marjorie, Jamie and Bob.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48You are now one step closer to the final
0:24:48 > 0:24:52and a chance to play for the jackpot which currently stands at...
0:24:58 > 0:25:00So, now, we have to decide who is going to play for that money
0:25:00 > 0:25:03and to do that, you are now going head-to-head.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05The difference is you are now allowed to confer and the first
0:25:05 > 0:25:08pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:25:16 > 0:25:20OK, here comes your first question and it concerns...
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Gangster movies, Richard.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28We're going to show you five images from well-known gangster films,
0:25:28 > 0:25:30you just have to name the films, please.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34OK, let's reveal our five images and here they come. We have got...
0:25:53 > 0:25:57There we are, five images from five gangster movies.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59Now, Don and Marjorie,
0:25:59 > 0:26:03you have played best throughout the show so far so you will go first.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07THEY CONFER QUIETLY
0:26:11 > 0:26:14We're going for the first one. Mean Streets.
0:26:14 > 0:26:19Mean Streets say Don and Marjorie for A. Mean Streets.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22Now, Jamie and Bob.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25We're going for D, Bonnie And Clyde.
0:26:25 > 0:26:29- D, Bonnie And Clyde. - After much discussion(!)
0:26:29 > 0:26:31He didn't know any of them.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34OK, so we have Mean Streets versus Bonnie And Clyde.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36Now, Don and Marjorie said Mean Streets.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said it.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer, Don and Marjorie.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50Jamie and Bob, you merely have to be correct with
0:26:50 > 0:26:53Bonnie And Clyde for D and you will win this point.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Let's see if they are right, Bonnie and Clyde.
0:26:57 > 0:26:58They're right.
0:27:01 > 0:27:0350.
0:27:03 > 0:27:0650 you scored but it merely had to be correct for you to win
0:27:06 > 0:27:09the point and after one question, you are up 1-0. Very well done.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13- And Jamie's run continues.- Yes. - He's done very well, hasn't he?
0:27:13 > 0:27:16- Very impressive. - At least I'm consistent.- Exactly.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19Now, C, is Road To Perdition.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22It's a brilliant score as well, it would have got you 6 points.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24And A, it's not Mean Streets,
0:27:24 > 0:27:25it's another Martin Scorsese film.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28- It's Goodfellas.- Goodfellas, yes.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30That would have scored you 25 points.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34Best answer up there, you won't be surprised to hear, is B,
0:27:34 > 0:27:35it's a pointless answer.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37It's Infernal Affairs,
0:27:37 > 0:27:38another terrific film.
0:27:38 > 0:27:39Very well done if you said that.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41And the final answer up there...
0:27:41 > 0:27:42If I told you that's
0:27:42 > 0:27:44a very, very young Jodie Foster?
0:27:44 > 0:27:45- Bugsy Malone.- Bugsy Malone.
0:27:45 > 0:27:46Absolutely.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48And that would have scored 33.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50Thanks very much indeed.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52But unfortunately, you're working against the curse of Jamie.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54LAUGHTER
0:27:54 > 0:27:56They are almost impossible to beat, this team, I'm afraid.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58OK, here comes your second question.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01Don and Marjorie have to win this one to stay in the game.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03Very best of luck. It concerns...
0:28:08 > 0:28:10You've got to win this.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13- Styles of skirt, Richard. - Finally, Jamie.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15LAUGHTER
0:28:15 > 0:28:17Finally, your specialised subject comes up.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20We're going to show you the names of five styles of skirts now
0:28:20 > 0:28:22but we've missed out alternate letters from them.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25Can you fill in those gaps and give us the answer? Good luck.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28OK, let's reveal our five styles of skirt with missing bits
0:28:28 > 0:28:31and here they are...
0:28:39 > 0:28:42I'll read those again without the blanks.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51Jamie and Bob, you will go first this time.
0:28:53 > 0:28:57THEY CONFER QUIETLY
0:29:04 > 0:29:07We think the top one's pencil.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09OK. Is that yours, Jamie?
0:29:09 > 0:29:11No.
0:29:11 > 0:29:12LAUGHTER
0:29:12 > 0:29:15I did actually get one, I'll say what it is afterwards.
0:29:15 > 0:29:19Bob and Jamie are going for pencil.
0:29:19 > 0:29:23Now then, Don and Marjorie, do you fancy talking us through the board?
0:29:23 > 0:29:25Over to you, Don.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27Yes, pencil and hobble.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29Kilt.
0:29:29 > 0:29:32Mini's the bottom one but I don't know the fourth one
0:29:32 > 0:29:35so we'll just go for hobble.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37You're going to go for hobble.
0:29:37 > 0:29:41So we have pencil and hobble. Jamie and Bob said pencil.
0:29:41 > 0:29:45Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said it.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48It's right.
0:29:52 > 0:29:5334.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55APPLAUSE
0:29:58 > 0:30:02Now, Don and Marjorie have said hobble for the second one down.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said it.
0:30:07 > 0:30:08Well, it's right.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11Now, to keep you in the game, this has to go down lower than 34.
0:30:11 > 0:30:13And it does, very well done.
0:30:13 > 0:30:1420.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16APPLAUSE
0:30:18 > 0:30:21You've broken back, Don and Marjorie, very well done.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23After two questions, it's 1-1.
0:30:23 > 0:30:25Well played, Don, we've got a real head-to-head on our hands.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27- Now, Jamie, which is the one you knew there?- Mini.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29Mini.
0:30:29 > 0:30:34Well, I have to say you've smashed your previous Pointless record of 100
0:30:34 > 0:30:36by seven, it would've scored 93 points.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40Kilt would have scored 47.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45And the one that no-one can get there - wraparound.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49Wraparound would have scored you 8 points.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53Thanks very much indeed, Richard. So, here comes your third question.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56This is the decider. Whoever wins this goes through
0:30:56 > 0:30:58to the final and plays for that jackpot.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00Best of luck to both pairs. It concerns...
0:31:05 > 0:31:07LAUGHTER
0:31:08 > 0:31:12- Richard.- This has got Jamie written all over it, hasn't it?
0:31:12 > 0:31:15What a narrative for the show, it's like Rocky.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17Jamie's been the underdog all the way through,
0:31:17 > 0:31:19and suddenly, right at the last second,
0:31:19 > 0:31:22it's 1-1 in the head-to-head and he comes through,
0:31:22 > 0:31:23he's the hero on the final answer,
0:31:23 > 0:31:27saving his grandfather in the process.
0:31:27 > 0:31:32I'm already slightly tearing up at the prospect.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34We're going to show you five clues now to facts about heavy metal
0:31:34 > 0:31:36or hard rock music.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39We just need you to give us the most obscure answer and the team that does
0:31:39 > 0:31:42that is going to play for the jackpot so very best of luck to all of you.
0:31:42 > 0:31:43Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:31:43 > 0:31:46So let's reveal our five clues to facts about heavy metal
0:31:46 > 0:31:48and hard rock and here they come.
0:31:48 > 0:31:49We have got...
0:32:08 > 0:32:11I'll read those all one last time.
0:32:28 > 0:32:33There we are. Five clues to facts about heavy metal and hard rock.
0:32:33 > 0:32:38Don and Marjorie. I dare say you can hardly hold yourselves back.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40Yeah, exactly.
0:32:41 > 0:32:43I know one, do you know?
0:32:43 > 0:32:46THEY CONFER
0:32:46 > 0:32:49We'll go for the first one, Ozzy Osbourne.
0:32:49 > 0:32:52Ozzy Ozbourne say Don and Marjorie.
0:32:52 > 0:32:54Now then, Jamie and Bob, can you talk us
0:32:54 > 0:32:56through the rest of the board?
0:32:56 > 0:32:58I know the top one, Ozzy Osbourne.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01Jamie can talk you through the rest.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04I think maybe Lordi won for...
0:33:04 > 0:33:06Israel?
0:33:06 > 0:33:10ALEXANDER AND RICHARD HUM THEME TO ROCKY
0:33:20 > 0:33:23APPLAUSE
0:33:25 > 0:33:28We need some shots of Jamie jogging along the beach
0:33:28 > 0:33:32with a towel around his neck and Bob on a bicycle.
0:33:32 > 0:33:33"There is no tomorrow."
0:33:33 > 0:33:36- LAUGHTER - OK.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39Don and Marjorie have said Ozzy Osbourne,
0:33:39 > 0:33:41the original lead singer of the band Black Sabbath.
0:33:41 > 0:33:45Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said it.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49It's right.
0:33:53 > 0:33:5446.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56APPLAUSE
0:33:59 > 0:34:03Lordi won Eurovision for this country in 2006. Jamie says Israel.
0:34:03 > 0:34:07Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said it.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14Oh, dear.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17Oh, Jamie, I'm so sorry.
0:34:17 > 0:34:18Oh, bad luck.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer which means,
0:34:21 > 0:34:23Don and Marjorie, very well done.
0:34:23 > 0:34:28After three questions, you have triumphed 2-1, very well done.
0:34:28 > 0:34:29Yeah, it wasn't Israel.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32It's worth a punt if you don't know the others
0:34:32 > 0:34:35but it was Finland with Hard Rock Hallelujah.
0:34:35 > 0:34:3723 points.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39The 1980 AC/DC album?
0:34:39 > 0:34:41- Back In Black.- Back In Black, yeah.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43Would have scored you 6 points.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46The Def Leppard drummer is Rick Allen.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48He would have scored you 7 points.
0:34:48 > 0:34:52And the band whose members were Page, Plant, Bonham and Jones?
0:34:52 > 0:34:54- Led Zeppelin.- Of course.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56And that would have scored you 33
0:34:56 > 0:34:58so Back In Black is the best answer there.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00Well done if you got all five of them.
0:35:00 > 0:35:01Thanks very much indeed.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04So, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:35:04 > 0:35:06I'm afraid, it's Jamie and Bob.
0:35:06 > 0:35:10Well, it's been a rocky ride but you've done incredibly well.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12You've come through to the head-to-head
0:35:12 > 0:35:13and it was very close there.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16Well, never mind, the good news is we get to see you again next time
0:35:16 > 0:35:19but in the meantime, thanks very much for playing, Jamie and Bob.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21APPLAUSE
0:35:23 > 0:35:26But for Don and Marjorie, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33Congratulations, Don and Marjorie, you've fought off all
0:35:33 > 0:35:37the competition and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:35:45 > 0:35:48and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at...
0:35:50 > 0:35:52APPLAUSE
0:35:55 > 0:35:58Well, as always, you kick off this round by choosing a category
0:35:58 > 0:36:01and you have four options to choose from and they are...
0:36:11 > 0:36:13Wow.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16I don't know anything about Russian Culture.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18Some things might come up in that.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21Martina, I might know a little about tennis.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24I don't think we know enough about that.
0:36:24 > 0:36:29- Blackpool, all I know is about the tower, really.- Elton John, no.
0:36:29 > 0:36:32- I quite fancy Russian Culture. - Go on, then.- Russian Culture.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35OK, Russian Culture, it is. Richard.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37We're going to give you three different categories
0:36:37 > 0:36:39to choose from here. Very best of luck.
0:36:39 > 0:36:40We are looking for any...
0:36:43 > 0:36:46That includes short novels and novellas.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01I know for some people at home, this is like their dreams have come true.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03For most people at home, it's like...
0:37:03 > 0:37:06And fingers crossed it's a dream come true for you two.
0:37:06 > 0:37:07Now, as always,
0:37:07 > 0:37:10you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers
0:37:10 > 0:37:12and all you need to win that jackpot of £5,500
0:37:12 > 0:37:15is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17Now, remember, the answers you provide can come
0:37:17 > 0:37:18from any of these categories,
0:37:18 > 0:37:21you can spread them across those categories how you like.
0:37:21 > 0:37:22- Are you ready?- Yep.
0:37:22 > 0:37:25OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28There they are, your time starts now.
0:37:28 > 0:37:33- War And Peace.- Anna Karenina.
0:37:33 > 0:37:37- Was it Cherry Orchard? - That was Chekhov.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39Everyone will know that one.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42- Dostoyevsky?- Don't know any.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44Who wrote Doctor Zhivago?
0:37:47 > 0:37:49- Not him.- No.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52- He might have done. Try it. - We can try it.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00The Cherry Orchard, Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard.
0:38:01 > 0:38:06- No, not got any more of that one. - Doctor Zhivago?
0:38:06 > 0:38:09Was it Tolstoy who wrote the Brothers Kara...Kana...?
0:38:09 > 0:38:12Karamazov, right.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14- Was that Tolstoy?- I don't know.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20- Ten seconds left. - That's all we've got.
0:38:28 > 0:38:31OK, that's your time up. I now need your three answers.
0:38:31 > 0:38:33What are you going to give me?
0:38:33 > 0:38:37- For Tolstoy, we're having Anna Karenina.- Anna Karenina.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40- For Chekhov, The Cherry Orchard. - The Cherry Orchard.
0:38:40 > 0:38:43And Brothers Karamazov, I don't know how to pronounce that.
0:38:43 > 0:38:47- And The Brothers Karamazov for...? - Dostoyevsky.- For Dostoyevsky.
0:38:47 > 0:38:48OK, of those three, which is
0:38:48 > 0:38:51your best shot at a pointless answer, do you think?
0:38:51 > 0:38:57- The Brothers.- OK, we'll pop that last. Which is your least likely?
0:38:57 > 0:38:59- The Cherry Orchard.- The Cherry Orchard, we'll put that first.
0:38:59 > 0:39:02OK, well, let's pop those answers up on the board in that order
0:39:02 > 0:39:04and here they are, we have got...
0:39:09 > 0:39:12Well, very best of luck, your first answer was The Cherry Orchard.
0:39:12 > 0:39:15You thought this was probably your least likely to be pointless
0:39:15 > 0:39:17but remember, only one of these answers needs to be pointless
0:39:17 > 0:39:20for you to win that jackpot of £5,500.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23What would you do with that if you won it, Don?
0:39:23 > 0:39:27Probably go on a holiday with my wife and give some to my kids.
0:39:27 > 0:39:29Marjorie, how about you?
0:39:29 > 0:39:33- Money to my grandchildren and a big party, I think.- Quite right.
0:39:33 > 0:39:34Well, best of luck.
0:39:34 > 0:39:38Let's hope that at least one of these answers is pointless.
0:39:38 > 0:39:40Your first answer is The Cherry Orchard.
0:39:40 > 0:39:43In this case, we were looking for plays by Chekhov.
0:39:43 > 0:39:45Obviously, this has to be correct
0:39:45 > 0:39:48and pointless for you to win that jackpot so, for £5,500,
0:39:48 > 0:39:51let's see how many of our 100 people said The Cherry Orchard.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55It's right.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58Now, Don didn't think this was going to go all the way down,
0:39:58 > 0:40:00let's see how far down it does go.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02It's going down through the 30s, through the 20s.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04Still going down,
0:40:04 > 0:40:0516, not bad.
0:40:07 > 0:40:09Not a bad score.
0:40:09 > 0:40:12You'd be very glad of 16 in normal play, I think, wouldn't you?
0:40:12 > 0:40:14But, obviously, in this round,
0:40:14 > 0:40:17we're only interested in pointless answers and that is not
0:40:17 > 0:40:19a pointless answer so only two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22Your next answer was Anna Karenina.
0:40:22 > 0:40:26In this case, we were looking for novels by Tolstoy.
0:40:26 > 0:40:29Again, it has to be correct and pointless to win the jackpot,
0:40:29 > 0:40:33so for £5,500, let's see how many people said Anna Karenina.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38Well, again, it's a correct answer.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41Your first answer was The Cherry Orchard,
0:40:41 > 0:40:43which took us all the way down to 16.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46Your second answer taking us down through the teens...
0:40:46 > 0:40:47to 18.
0:40:47 > 0:40:50APPLAUSE
0:40:53 > 0:40:58OK, so only one more chance to win today's jackpot.
0:40:58 > 0:41:01So, in this last instance, you've said The Brothers Karamazov,
0:41:01 > 0:41:04we are looking for novels by Dostoyevsky.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08This has to be correct,
0:41:08 > 0:41:10then it has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot,
0:41:10 > 0:41:14so for £5,500, let's see how many of our 100 people said
0:41:14 > 0:41:17The Brothers Karamazov was a novel by Dostoyevsky.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22Well, it's right.
0:41:22 > 0:41:25Your first answer, The Cherry Orchard, took us down to 16.
0:41:25 > 0:41:28Your second answer, Anna Karenina, took us down to 18.
0:41:28 > 0:41:32Down we go into single figures with The Brothers Karamazov...
0:41:32 > 0:41:34to 4! Oh, bad luck!
0:41:34 > 0:41:36APPLAUSE
0:41:38 > 0:41:42Three good answers there. Sadly, not pointless.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44You didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer
0:41:44 > 0:41:47so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £5,500.
0:41:47 > 0:41:49That will roll over on to the next show
0:41:49 > 0:41:51but we've loved having you on the show,
0:41:51 > 0:41:53it's been a real pleasure, and you do, of course,
0:41:53 > 0:41:56get to take home a Pointless trophy each so very well done for that.
0:41:56 > 0:41:57APPLAUSE
0:41:59 > 0:42:01Yeah, very well played, Don and Marjorie.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03I bet you're just relieved to get three correct answers in that
0:42:03 > 0:42:05last one. I think that's good going.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07Anyone who did that at home, very well done.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10Let's look at some pointless answers. Firstly, for the Leo Tolstoy novels.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12There's a few up there but I'll tell you,
0:42:12 > 0:42:15the only ones that scored points at all were War And Peace,
0:42:15 > 0:42:17which would have scored you 56, Anna Karenina
0:42:17 > 0:42:20and The Death Of Ivan Ilyich, which would have scored you 1.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23Let's take a look at a few pointless answers for the Chekhov plays.
0:42:23 > 0:42:25And again, I'll just lead you through the ones that would've scored
0:42:25 > 0:42:27points which are The Cherry Orchard,
0:42:27 > 0:42:29The Seagull which would have scored 9,
0:42:29 > 0:42:32Three Sisters, 7, Uncle Vanya would have scored you 4.
0:42:32 > 0:42:35And we'll take a look at Dostoyevsky now.
0:42:35 > 0:42:37There's a few of his pointless answers including
0:42:37 > 0:42:39Humiliated And Insulted,
0:42:39 > 0:42:41Poor Folk, The Adolescent, The House Of The Dead.
0:42:41 > 0:42:42The ones that would have scored points -
0:42:42 > 0:42:44Crime And Punishment would have scored 17,
0:42:44 > 0:42:46The Idiot would have scored you 4, The Gambler, 2,
0:42:46 > 0:42:49Notes From The Underground would have scored you 1.
0:42:49 > 0:42:51But very well played for getting three correct answers
0:42:51 > 0:42:53and a Pointless trophy.
0:42:53 > 0:42:54Very well done indeed.
0:42:54 > 0:42:57Well, unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to you, Don and Marjorie,
0:42:57 > 0:42:59but it's been wonderful having you on the show,
0:42:59 > 0:43:02thank you both so much for playing. Don and Marjorie, great contestants.
0:43:02 > 0:43:05APPLAUSE
0:43:05 > 0:43:07Well, sadly, Don and Marjorie didn't win our jackpot today
0:43:07 > 0:43:12so it rolls over onto the next show when we will be playing for...
0:43:16 > 0:43:18Join us then to see if someone can win it.
0:43:18 > 0:43:20- In the meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:20 > 0:43:23And it's goodbye from me, goodbye.
0:43:23 > 0:43:25APPLAUSE
