0:00:21 > 0:00:23Thank you very much indeed. Hello.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26I'm Alexander Armstrong, and a very warm welcome to Pointless, the show
0:00:26 > 0:00:29where obvious answers mean nothing and obscure answers mean everything.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31Let's meet today's players.
0:00:34 > 0:00:38- And couple number one.- Hi. My name's Kate. This is my mum, Jane.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41- And we're from Preston. - Couple number two.- My name's Robin.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44This is my wife, Mary. And we're from Northampton.
0:00:44 > 0:00:45- Couple number three.- Hi, Alexander.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47My name's Eliot and this is my son, Michael.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49And we're from just outside of Glasgow.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51- And finally couple number four. - Hello.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55My name's Bob, and this is my friend Tim. We're both from South London.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57And these are today's contestants.
0:01:00 > 0:01:01Back to all of you.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04We'll find out more about you throughout the show as it goes along.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06So that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10They call him the Owl because he is stoic, wise and can be deftly
0:01:10 > 0:01:13deployed to control rodent populations in urban areas.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15- LAUGHTER - It's my Pointless friend. It's Richard.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Hiya. Hi, everybody. How are you?
0:01:21 > 0:01:22I would be cool to be an owl, I think.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25- Yeah, it's great to be an owl. - That'd be amazing.- Yeah.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28I could literally be doing that and look at the board behind me,
0:01:28 > 0:01:30just... I wouldn't even have to swivel my chair.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33- That would be relaxing, wouldn't it? - That'd save me some time.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36- Yeah.- Anyway.- Anyway. Anywho. - How are you this afternoon?
0:01:36 > 0:01:39- I'm very well.- Excellent. It's... Anybody could win today.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41We've only got one returning pair - that's Kate and Jane,
0:01:41 > 0:01:43and we only saw them for one round last time.
0:01:43 > 0:01:44They were here very briefly.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47And three new pairs as well, so it could be very, very open.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50I absolutely trust podium two, Robin and Mary.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Married couple, seem very sensible.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55Got your father and son - podium three. No trouble there.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58I'm sensing maybe trouble from podium four.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00LAUGHTER
0:02:00 > 0:02:03You know, they look like two guys who are trying really,
0:02:03 > 0:02:05really hard to be well-behaved.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09And I think at some point that's going to slip. Don't you think?
0:02:09 > 0:02:13So I think if you're going to worry about crowd control at any point,
0:02:13 > 0:02:18- podium four...- Is the one to look out for.- I think so.- Yeah, OK.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Thanks very much, Richard. Now, as usual,
0:02:20 > 0:02:23all of today's questions have been asked of 100 people before the show.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26Our contestants are after one of those all important pointless answers -
0:02:26 > 0:02:28that being an answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31Each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34Now, Dave and Erica didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:02:34 > 0:02:35so we add another £1,000 to that.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39So today's jackpot starts off at £2,000.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Right. If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51The pair with the highest score at the end of the round will be
0:02:51 > 0:02:52eliminated.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55And you are to remember at all times there is to be no conferring during
0:02:55 > 0:02:56the round itself.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58OK, our first category today is...
0:03:01 > 0:03:02Famous people.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Can you all decide who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:03:05 > 0:03:08And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:11 > 0:03:12And the question concerns...
0:03:17 > 0:03:20- Second spouses. Richard?- Going to show you seven names on each pass.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22They are all the second spouse of somebody famous.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26Can you tell us the name of the person they married in the year shown, please?
0:03:26 > 0:03:28We're going to show you 14 people in all,
0:03:28 > 0:03:30so there's going to be 14 guesses to kick off the show with.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Very, very best of luck.
0:03:32 > 0:03:33Thanks very much indeed.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35So we're looking for the names of the people
0:03:35 > 0:03:36to whom these were second spouses.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38And here's our first board of seven.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56I'll read those one last time.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10Now, Kate and Jane, you all drew lots before the show
0:04:10 > 0:04:14- and today you're going to go first. Jane, welcome back.- Thank you.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Now, tell us what happened last time.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20My daughter...who I love dearly, got Kim Wilde
0:04:20 > 0:04:22and Blondie slightly mixed up.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26- It's going to happen. - It's an easy mistake.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Now, then, Jane, remind us what you do.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32- I'm a receptionist at police headquarters.- Now, that's fun.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35- Do you take the emergency calls? - No. No.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39I only look after people that have been invited into headquarters.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43- I like "invited in". - Yes. Only invited. Oh, yes.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Now, then, what about that board?
0:04:45 > 0:04:47I thought that was going to be a killer of a round,
0:04:47 > 0:04:50and then I saw that board and thought, "Well, that's not so bad."
0:04:50 > 0:04:52- Did you feel the same?- No.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54SHE LAUGHS I didn't feel the same at all.
0:04:54 > 0:04:59- I'm going to go for Nicole Kidman and really hope it's Tom Cruise.- OK.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Tom Cruise, says Jane, for Nicole Kidman. Let's see.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05And the date was 1990. Let's see if that's right.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Let's see how many people said Tom Cruise.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Very well done.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16- Oh. High.- High, but correct.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21- 42 better than 100. Not bad.- Yeah, not bad at all on the first podium.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24He was married to Mimi Rogers, then Nicole Kidman,
0:05:24 > 0:05:26and then he was married to Katie Holmes.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30- Uh, now. Robin.- Hello.- See, I trust Robin as well. I trust Robin.- I do.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Absolutely. If he was a pilot, he'd be, "Oh, great."
0:05:33 > 0:05:36"Oh, we've got Robin today. We're going to survive."
0:05:36 > 0:05:39"I'll have a gin and tonic. That's lovely. Thank you very much."
0:05:39 > 0:05:41"And whatever he's having. Send this up to Robin."
0:05:41 > 0:05:43That's how much I trust him.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Um, Robin, what do you do? A pilot?
0:05:45 > 0:05:48I'm a service delivery manager for a well-known high street retailer.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51Good stuff. OK, now, Robin, Robin, Robin.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Who were these people married to in the years shown?
0:05:54 > 0:05:59- My first thought is, "It's so much easier playing this at home."- Yes.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01- So easy at home.- Oh, it's quite easy from here as well.
0:06:01 > 0:06:02LAUGHTER
0:06:02 > 0:06:08I'm going to be brave and I'm going to say Jim Kerr, 1992 - Patsy Kensit.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11Patsy Kensit, says Robin, for Jim Kerr.
0:06:11 > 0:06:12Let's see if that's right,
0:06:12 > 0:06:15and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 said Patsy Kensit.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21It's completely right. 58's our high score at the moment.
0:06:21 > 0:06:22You passed that.
0:06:30 > 0:06:3217 for Patsy Kensit.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34It was the second marriage for both of them.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36He'd been married to Chrissie Hynde from The Pretenders.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39- She'd been married to Dan Donovan. - So it was.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43- Then she married Liam Gallagher and Jeremy Healy.- Thanks, Rich.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46Eliot, welcome to the show. Great to have you here.
0:06:46 > 0:06:47What do you do, Eliot?
0:06:47 > 0:06:50I'm an economic development officer in a local authority.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54What sort of things do you actually do as an economic development officer?
0:06:54 > 0:06:58I'm...we run schemes of assistance for people to start their own
0:06:58 > 0:07:01business, and we help local companies in the area.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04As you can see, I've got a particular interest in food and drink,
0:07:04 > 0:07:07so I'm the food and drink person for South Lanarkshire Council.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09- Gee, that's great fun, though, isn't it?- It is.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- You literally have your fingers in lots of pies.- Absolutely.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14That's wonderful. Good stuff.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18- Now, then, Eliot, what are you going to go for?- I think...
0:07:18 > 0:07:21There's a couple of them up there, but I think I'm going to
0:07:21 > 0:07:26go for Kid Rock and I'm going to say Pamela Anderson.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29You're going to say Pamela Anderson for Kid Rock.
0:07:29 > 0:07:30Let's see if that's right,
0:07:30 > 0:07:33and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Pamela Anderson.
0:07:35 > 0:07:36It's right.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Very well done indeed. 15, Eliot.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48- The best score of the round so far. - Well played, Eliot.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50That marriage lasted about five months.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53- It's actually not bad for a celebrity pairing, is it?- Not bad.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56Thanks very much indeed, Richard. Now, OK, so we come to you, Bob.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00- Bob, what do you do? - I'm a part-time estate agent.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04- A part-time estate agent? - Well, I'm 65 now, so...
0:08:04 > 0:08:07And what do you like doing when you're not doing that, Bob?
0:08:07 > 0:08:10I like music. Food. Um...
0:08:12 > 0:08:14I've got a motorcycle, which, when the weather's nice,
0:08:14 > 0:08:16I like tootling around on that.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18OK. Now, Bob, this is all your board.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22- It's not a good board for me, though.- Really?- Yeah, afraid so.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25Have a crack at some of them. Just do your thinking out loud, maybe.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27The only one that is giving me anything,
0:08:27 > 0:08:32- and I'm probably wrong, is Heather Mills and Paul McCartney.- OK.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35You're going to go with Heather Mills. Let's see if that's right,
0:08:35 > 0:08:38and if it is, see how many of our 100 people said
0:08:38 > 0:08:39Paul McCartney.
0:08:41 > 0:08:42Well, it's right.
0:08:44 > 0:08:49- That's a high score there, Bob, but a lot better than 100.- True.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Heather was Paul's second wife. Linda was his first wife.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57His third wife is Nancy and she's Paul's second husband. No.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00Paul's her second husband. Simple.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02- Simple.- Simple as you like.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Now, let's go through the rest of this board.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07- Do you know any of these? - Yeah, I do.- Lisa Marie Presley.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11- Michael Jackson.- Incorrect.- Oh! - Nicolas Cage.- Nicolas Cage.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15- Nicolas Cage. Would have scored five points.- I walked into that one.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Exactly. I think a lot of our 100 made the same mistake there.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21- Nicolas Cage the answer. Cris Judd. - Yes. Jennifer Lopez.- Jennifer Lopez.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Would you like to know something amusing? I was at their wedding.
0:09:24 > 0:09:29- No way.- As was Patsy Kensit. That was when I met Patsy Kensit.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31This sounds like a dream, or...
0:09:31 > 0:09:33How come you were at Jennifer Lopez's wedding?
0:09:33 > 0:09:38Because she had her wedding at Donatella Versace's big
0:09:38 > 0:09:42villa on Lake Como in sort of November, I think, 2001.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46After 9/11, nobody from America wanted to fly over,
0:09:46 > 0:09:48so there was a bit of an open invitation.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51And a friend of mine got invited and said, "Would I like to go along?"
0:09:51 > 0:09:54I said, "Yeah, of course." So there I was.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57I hung out with Patsy Kensit and J.Lo
0:09:57 > 0:09:59and Cris Judd on their wedding night.
0:09:59 > 0:10:00And that wedding lasted,
0:10:00 > 0:10:03I think, to almost all the way through the first dance.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05- It was... - LAUGHTER
0:10:05 > 0:10:08No. Give them their due. They were married for nine months.
0:10:08 > 0:10:09It was a long dance.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14That would've scored you ten points if you'd gone to it.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18- And Lance Gerrard-Wright. Ulrika Jonsson.- Ulrika Jonsson, yeah.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20That would've scored you six points.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23So Nic Cage is the best answer up there. Well done if you said that.
0:10:23 > 0:10:24Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Halfway through the round. Let's look at those scores.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29The best score of that pass was yours, Eliot. Well done.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Eliot and Michael looking very strong on 15.
0:10:31 > 0:10:36Then just a squeak above them on 17, Robin and Mary.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39Then up to 58 - quite a hike - where we find Jane and Kate.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42And then 71, Bob and Tim.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44You're not miles ahead, but Tim, you'll be the first person to
0:10:44 > 0:10:47answer in the next board - try to find a nice, low score there.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50Very best of luck. Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:10:53 > 0:10:56OK. We're going to put seven more names up on the board,
0:10:56 > 0:10:57and here they come.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13I'll read those all one last time.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31Now, remember, we're looking for the names of the people to whom these were second spouses.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33And, Tim, you're going to try and find a nice low-scoring one,
0:11:33 > 0:11:35and hope that'll get you through to the next round.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39- Tim, welcome to the show.- Thank you. - And you are from South London.- I am.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43- From Tooting.- From Tooting.- And what do you get up to in Tooting, Tim?
0:11:43 > 0:11:46- I'm a self-employed book-keeper. - Yes, I...
0:11:46 > 0:11:48You say "book-keeper", I think "book-maker".
0:11:48 > 0:11:50- Don't mean book-maker. Book-keeper. - Yes.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52And what do you like doing in your spare time, Tim?
0:11:52 > 0:11:55- Bit of travelling and a little bit of line dancing.- Very... Yes, of course!
0:11:55 > 0:11:56The shirt.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59It all falls into place now.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02How long have you been line dancing for - since the very beginning?
0:12:02 > 0:12:06- About 19 years.- That's pretty good. Pretty good.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09OK, now, Tim, there you are on 71. You're the high scorers.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13- I think you might be quite good at this.- I've got to take a risk.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Ava Gardner, Humphrey Bogart.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Humphrey Bogart, says Tim, for Ava Gardner.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Let's see if that's right, and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25No red line for you as you're high scorers.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29Ooh! Bad luck, Tim.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer,
0:12:31 > 0:12:33which scores you the maximum of 100 points.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37- Takes your total up to an unassailable 171. Sorry.- Sorry, Tim.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39She never married Humphrey Bogart.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42Sounds like something that would've happened, though, doesn't it?
0:12:42 > 0:12:44That sort of caper they used to get up to?
0:12:44 > 0:12:47Virtually all of them married all the others at some point.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Thanks very much indeed. Now, then, Michael, welcome to the show.
0:12:50 > 0:12:51Great to have you here.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Listen, the first thing I can say to you is, "Great news.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55- "You're in round two." - That is good news.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59Even if you score 100 points, you won't overtake Bob and Tim over there.
0:12:59 > 0:13:00But as it turns out, Eliot, your dad,
0:13:00 > 0:13:03left you in a pretty strong position. What do you do, Michael?
0:13:03 > 0:13:06- I'm a student at university. - Whereabouts?
0:13:06 > 0:13:09- Strathclyde up in Glasgow. - Strathclyde. What are you studying?
0:13:09 > 0:13:14- Accountancy and finance, so...- Ah, yes. Exactly. Book-keeping. Very...
0:13:14 > 0:13:18You know the difference between book-keeping and book-making.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Now then, Michael, what are you going to go for on this board?
0:13:20 > 0:13:25Uh, the board's not bad. I think I'm going to go for Jada Pinkett Smith.
0:13:25 > 0:13:29- And say Will Smith.- Will Smith, says Michael, for Jada Pinkett Smith.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Let's see how many people said it.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34No red line for you as you're already through.
0:13:35 > 0:13:36It's right.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44Takes you up to a nice neat 50.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Well played, Michael. Good answer.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50Yeah, Will Smith was married to Sheree Fletcher before that.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53- Didn't know that. Didn't know he'd been married before. - I didn't know that.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56- Keeps that quiet. - Yeah. Thanks very much.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59Now, then, Mary, welcome to the show. Great to have you here.
0:13:59 > 0:14:05- What do you do, Mary?- I'm a billing analyst for a Japanese print company.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08Now, how did you and Robin meet, Mary?
0:14:08 > 0:14:13- We met on New Year's Eve on a dance floor.- Aww.
0:14:13 > 0:14:17How impossibly When Harry Met Sally. That's fantastic.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19SHE LAUGHS
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Literally as the balloon was going up, or...?
0:14:21 > 0:14:25It was just a bit before that, but our eyes met across the dance floor.
0:14:25 > 0:14:30Aww. How fantastic. Um, brilliant.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33So New Year's Eve always a very important evening for you, then.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36- Every year it comes round. - Yes.- Excellent.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38Now, good news - you're also through to round two, Mary.
0:14:38 > 0:14:39That is good news.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41But slightly less good news,
0:14:41 > 0:14:45- I am going to want an answer from you from this board.- OK.
0:14:45 > 0:14:50Um...I think I'll go with Guy Ritchie and Madonna.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52Guy Ritchie and Madonna, says Mary.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54No red line cos you're already through,
0:14:54 > 0:14:57but let's see how many of our 100 people said Madonna.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01It's right.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03Cor. 74.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08That's the highest scoring correct answer.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10Yeah, big score but a correct answer.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12She was married to Sean Penn first.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15At her first wedding, they couldn't hear her vows cos there were
0:15:15 > 0:15:18- so many press helicopters hovering overhead.- How depressing.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22- That's not nice, is it?- No. Thanks very much.
0:15:22 > 0:15:2491 your total there, Mary and Robin.
0:15:24 > 0:15:29Kate. Again, great news. You're in round two.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32But I think you're going to be really good on this board.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36- Now, Kate, remind us what you do. - I'm a civil servant.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39A civil servant who cannot tell us what she does.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43- The kind of thing she does is so top secret.- Yeah.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Or maybe just difficult to pronounce.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47SHE LAUGHS
0:15:47 > 0:15:53Assuming you get any time off from the absolutely top, top,
0:15:53 > 0:15:56top secret thing you do, what do you do?
0:15:56 > 0:15:58I mean, what do you do with that time?
0:15:58 > 0:16:02Um, I spend a lot of time following Preston North End - following them up and down the country with my mother.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05- So you travel as well - all the away matches?- We used to.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08We don't go to as many any more, but we did go through about three seasons
0:16:08 > 0:16:11- where we never missed a game, home or away, in all the competitions.- Wow.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15OK. Now then, Kate, talk us through the board. Fill in all the blanks.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18Kris Humphries, I think was Kim Kardashian. I'm not sure.
0:16:18 > 0:16:24Anne Boleyn, Henry VIII. Rachel Hunter, Rod Stewart, I think.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Don't know the other two.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29I'll go for Rachel Hunter and Rod Stewart.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33Rachel Hunter, Rod Stewart, says Kate. Let's see if that's right.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Let's see how many people said Rod Stewart.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37No red line again cos you're already through.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41It's right.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50Takes your total up to 97. Well done, Kate.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53Yeah, he met her in a LA nightclub and proposed within three weeks.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56Now married to Penny Lancaster, of course.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59- Can I just point out something? An error I'd made.- Yep.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03Right up until the moment that Kate said Kris Humphries
0:17:03 > 0:17:06and Kim Kardashian, I'd been thinking of Jake Humphrey.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08LAUGHTER
0:17:08 > 0:17:11I'd just been thinking, "Oh, he's doing well. That's nice. Nice.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14"He's someone's second spouse."
0:17:14 > 0:17:16Yeah. What if I told you that you're absolutely right, it is
0:17:16 > 0:17:19- Kim Kardashian, you'd have been even more surprised.- Yeah.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22Would've scored you ten points.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25Ava Gardner didn't marry Humphrey Bogart, she married...
0:17:25 > 0:17:28- Frank Sinatra.- Frank Sinatra, yep. Would've scored you 14.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32- Anne Boleyn famously married... - Henry VIII.- Henry VIII.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34Would've scored you 56 points.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36And Orson Welles... Do you know this?
0:17:36 > 0:17:38- I don't, mate.- I didn't know this.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41Two points if you said Rita Hayworth.
0:17:41 > 0:17:42There you are.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45- Good answer, isn't it? - Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47So at the end of our first round, I'm afraid the pair heading home -
0:17:47 > 0:17:48Tim and Bob.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50I'm sorry, we have to say goodbye to you.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53We'll see you again next time. We look forward to that very much.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56- We won't serve up a round like that again for you. - TIM LAUGHS
0:17:56 > 0:17:58We'll see you again next time.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01We'll look forward to that very much indeed. Thanks so much meanwhile.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for round two.
0:18:10 > 0:18:11OK. So three pairs remain.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14That means at the end of this round we will have to say goodbye to
0:18:14 > 0:18:16another pair in time for our head-to-head round.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19Now, Kate and Jane, our only returning pair,
0:18:19 > 0:18:21stormed through round one. Look at that. There you are.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25Welcome to round two. Eliot and Michael, great performance.
0:18:25 > 0:18:29Pamela Anderson the best answer of that round,
0:18:29 > 0:18:30so very well done to you, Eliot.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33And Robin and Mary, nice, solid performance there.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37Best of luck to all three pairs. Our category for round two is...
0:18:40 > 0:18:4120th century theatre.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44Can you all decide who's going to go first, who's going to go second.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52OK. Let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many
0:18:55 > 0:19:00playwrights on the National Theatre's NT2000 list.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04Playwrights on the National Theatre's NT2000 list. Richard?
0:19:04 > 0:19:05Yeah, in the late '90s,
0:19:05 > 0:19:08the National Theatre put together a list of the 100 best plays
0:19:08 > 0:19:11written in the English language in the 20th century.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14Can you give us the name of any playwright represented on that list, please?
0:19:14 > 0:19:16So it was the 100 best plays in the English
0:19:16 > 0:19:17language of the 20th century.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20Any playwright who wrote one of those 100 plays.
0:19:20 > 0:19:21Very, very best of luck.
0:19:21 > 0:19:27Thank you very much indeed. OK. Now, Kate, we come to you first.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30I'm really struggling with this - to even think of a playwright.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35I don't know if this is right or not, but I'll go for Tim Rice.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39OK. Tim Rice, says Kate. Let's see if it's right,
0:19:39 > 0:19:42and if it is, how many of our 100 people said Tim Rice.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49No. Bad luck, Kate. Sorry, I'm afraid.
0:19:49 > 0:19:53Not a terrible bit of logic there, but I'm afraid an incorrect answer.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56- Not Tim Rice. - Yes, sorry, Kate. We've narrowed your job down, though.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00- It's definitely not the Arts Council. - LAUGHTER
0:20:00 > 0:20:01Uh, thanks, Richard.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05Now, Mary, who are you going to go for?
0:20:05 > 0:20:07This isn't a great one for me,
0:20:07 > 0:20:10but we've been to the West End of couple times.
0:20:11 > 0:20:12Going to go with...
0:20:14 > 0:20:17- ..possibly Noel Coward? - Noel Coward, says Mary.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21Let's see if Noel Coward's there. He should be.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23And let's how many people said Noel Coward.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28He is there. Very well done, Mary.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39- 15. Very well done. - Well played, Mary.
0:20:39 > 0:20:43His 1930 play Private Lives was one of the 100 best plays.
0:20:43 > 0:20:48Thanks very much indeed. Eliot. Who would you like to go for?
0:20:48 > 0:20:51There's a couple I'm toying between.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56- I think I'm going to go for John Osborne.- John Osborne, says Eliot.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59Let's see how many of our 100 people said John Osborne.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06It's right. Well, 15, our lowest score to date.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10John Osborne passes that. Look at that - five. Very well done indeed, Eliot.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19Very well played, Eliot. Yeah, 1956 play Look Back In Anger was in the top 100.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21Wrote that in two weeks.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24- Went on to be one of the most successful plays of all time.- Wow.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27Thanks very much, Richard. We're halfway through.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30Let's see what our scores are. Five the best score of that pass, Eliot.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34Very well done indeed. Then up to 15, where Mary and Robin are.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38Then I'm afraid it's up to 100, where we find Kate and Jane.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Jane, a low answer from you might be enough. You never know.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43We're going to come back down the line now.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:21:48 > 0:21:51OK. So, Michael, remember we're looking for the name of any
0:21:51 > 0:21:55- playwright on the National Theatre's NT2000 list.- Yeah.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57We need a nice low score from you, Michael.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00The high scorers at the moment, Jane and Kate, on 100. You're on five.
0:22:00 > 0:22:0494 or less keeps you in the game.
0:22:04 > 0:22:05I don't even think that's going to happen.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09I'm just trying to think of back when I did English at school.
0:22:09 > 0:22:10A name's come up.
0:22:10 > 0:22:11But...
0:22:12 > 0:22:19- Guess...Arthur Miller. I don't know. - Arthur Miller. OK. Arthur Miller.
0:22:19 > 0:22:20Let's see. There's your red line.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23If you get below that, you're in the head-to-head.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25How many of our 100 people said Arthur Miller?
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Absolutely right. Very well done indeed, Michael.
0:22:37 > 0:22:3818 is your total. Well done.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41- You're through.- Well played, Michael.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43Death Of A Salesman from 1949.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46- You got a really nice "proud Dad" look from Eliot as well.- Absolutely.
0:22:46 > 0:22:47That's my boy.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Thanks, Rich. Uh, Robin.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52You're on 15. You need to score 84 or less.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57OK. Um...probably bit embarrassing to tell you that I act in plays
0:22:57 > 0:23:00in my spare time and I'm really struggling to think of playwrights.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02I see, yes. Struggling to think of playwrights.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05I should have loads of playwrights rolling off the tongue
0:23:05 > 0:23:10and, uh...I'm down to a couple. I'm going to say Tom Stoppard.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14Tom Stoppard, says Robin. Here's your red line.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Get below that, you're in the head-to-head.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18How many of our 100 said Tom Stoppard?
0:23:20 > 0:23:22It's absolutely right, of course.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34- 21 is your total. - Well played, Robin.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead for Tom Stoppard.
0:23:36 > 0:23:41- It's going nicely this round, isn't it?- Mmm.- We're doing very well. - Yeah.
0:23:41 > 0:23:45Jane, I'm afraid...I'm afraid you are the high scorers
0:23:45 > 0:23:49- even before you've given your answer.- Which Robin stole.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52SHE LAUGHS Thank you, Robin.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55So I shall go with the other one I thought of. Hopefully this is right.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58- Terence Rattigan.- Terence Rattigan, says Jane. Good answer.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04No red line, I'm afraid, cos you're already the high scorers.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18That is a great answer. Very well done indeed, Jane.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22And that, if either of the others had scored 100,
0:24:22 > 0:24:25if they'd slipped up, that would've kept you in the game.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28- But great answer, Jane.- Thank you. - Very nice way to end the round.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32- Have you got any before we look at the pointless answers?- Um, yes.
0:24:32 > 0:24:37- I would go probably Alan Bleasdale maybe.- Alan Bleasdale...
0:24:37 > 0:24:40- Uh, not on the list.- Ooh. There's 100 points to me.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43Alan Ayckbourn's on the list. Alan Ayckbourn would've scored you seven.
0:24:43 > 0:24:47- Howard Brenton.- Howard Brenton was a pointless answer.- There we go. Phew.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49Well done. Let's look at some other pointless answers.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52- David Mamet was a pointless answer. - I did have him.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55Yeah, Glengarry Glen Ross. John Godber on that list for Bouncers.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57Keith Waterhouse on that list for Billy Liar -
0:24:57 > 0:24:59he wrote it with Willis Hall.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Neil Simon is on the list for The Odd Couple, Patrick Marber
0:25:01 > 0:25:06- for Closer.- Oh, Closer.- Sam Shepard is on the list for True West.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08Shelagh Delaney, A Taste Of Honey,
0:25:08 > 0:25:10Quartermaine's Terms by Simon Gray is there,
0:25:10 > 0:25:12and Somerset Maugham also on the list.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15Very, very well done if you said any of those. There's a few others.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18Anthony Shaffer you could've had, Edward Albee, Howard Barker,
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Jim Cartwright, Joan Littlewood, Sebastian Barry.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23Lots of pointless answers on that list.
0:25:23 > 0:25:24Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27At the end of our second round, the pair heading home
0:25:27 > 0:25:30with a high score of 103, it's Jane and Kate.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34Jane, lovely answering from you there. Kate...you might have got...
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Well, maybe not one of the pointless ones,
0:25:36 > 0:25:39but did any of those others ring a bell? Tom Stoppard, maybe?
0:25:39 > 0:25:42- I had Alan Bennett in my head, but... - That would have been a great answer.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45- No good in your head. - HE LAUGHS
0:25:45 > 0:25:49Combined with your mum's low score, might've seen you though. Who knows?
0:25:49 > 0:25:51Anyway, it's been lovely having you on both shows.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53- Thanks so much for playing, Jane and Kate.- Thank you.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58But the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06Congratulations, Eliot and Michael, Robin and Mary -
0:26:06 > 0:26:08you're now one step closer to the final and the chance to
0:26:08 > 0:26:12play for our jackpot, which currently stands at £2,000.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Here's where we decide who goes through to the final
0:26:17 > 0:26:20and plays for that money. You are now going to go head-to-head.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22Obviously you're now allowed to confer,
0:26:22 > 0:26:25and the first pair to win two questions will play for that jackpot.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:26:32 > 0:26:36OK. Here comes your first question. And it concerns...
0:26:38 > 0:26:40- Flags, Richard. - It's a fun one, this.
0:26:40 > 0:26:44We're going to show you five flags with the names of the countries they represent underneath them.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47But we've missed out one colour from each of the flags.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49Can you tell us what colour we've missed out, please?
0:26:49 > 0:26:52Thanks very much indeed. Let's reveal our five flags.
0:26:52 > 0:26:53And here they are.
0:27:14 > 0:27:18There we are. Five flags with colours missing.
0:27:18 > 0:27:23Now, Eliot and Michael, you've played best throughout the show so far, so you will go first.
0:27:23 > 0:27:24THEY CONFER QUIETLY
0:27:24 > 0:27:27ELIOT: Do you want to pick Bangladesh?
0:27:27 > 0:27:29- MICHAEL:- I'm not 100% on that, really.
0:27:29 > 0:27:30- Go Ethiopia, then?- No, I don't know.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33- I'm not 100%.- Bangladesh?- OK.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35We're going to go for A.
0:27:35 > 0:27:39We think that the Bangladesh flag has green in it.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41OK. You're going to say green for A.
0:27:41 > 0:27:45Robin and Mary, do you fancy talking us through the rest of the board?
0:27:45 > 0:27:47Ooh.
0:27:47 > 0:27:53- ROBIN:- B, Germany, we think is black. C...Don't know.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55D, we might have to take a guess at,
0:27:55 > 0:27:57because I think E, Sweden, is yellow.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59But I think Bangladesh is a good answer.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02So...we may have to take a guess at Ethiopia.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04- What should we say?- Orange.- OK.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07We're going to say...for Ethiopia, we're going to say orange.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09OK. You're going to say orange for Ethiopia.
0:28:09 > 0:28:14So we have green for Bangladesh and orange for Ethiopia.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16Eliot and Michael, you said green for A.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19Let's see if that's right, and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 said green.
0:28:22 > 0:28:23It's right.
0:28:31 > 0:28:32Good answer.
0:28:32 > 0:28:36Now, Robin and Mary, you've taken a bit of a punt here.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39You have volunteered orange for the Ethiopian flag in D.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42Let's see how many of our 100 people said orange.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48Oh. Bad luck. Bad luck.
0:28:48 > 0:28:51That means, Eliot and Michael, after one question, you are up one-nil.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53Sorry, Robin and Mary.
0:28:53 > 0:28:57Like an awful lot of African flags, it is green, yellow and red,
0:28:57 > 0:28:59Ethiopia.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02And that would've scored you 28 points.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04Germany, you're right, it's black. Big scorer, though.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07That would've scored you 74.
0:29:07 > 0:29:13The one that would've won you the point is Palau, and that is yellow.
0:29:14 > 0:29:18Would've scored you just 19 points. Supposed to represent the moon.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20And Sweden also yellow.
0:29:20 > 0:29:24But would've scored you a few more points. It was 63 points.
0:29:24 > 0:29:26Ah, there we are. Thank you very much indeed.
0:29:26 > 0:29:27OK, here comes your second question.
0:29:27 > 0:29:30Robin and Mary, you will get to answer this one first.
0:29:30 > 0:29:32But you have to win it to stay in the game. So best of luck.
0:29:32 > 0:29:33It concerns...
0:29:37 > 0:29:41- NFL. Is that good for you, Robin, or not?- It's really good.- Pretty good.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43- Good.- Yep.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46Can you simply complete the names of these five teams, please?
0:29:46 > 0:29:47Very best of luck.
0:29:47 > 0:29:51OK. Let's reveal our five incomplete teams, and here they are.
0:30:01 > 0:30:02I'll read those one last time.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14Robin and Mary, you will go first.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16HE SIGHS
0:30:17 > 0:30:20Uh...it's just picking the one that's the lowest score, isn't it?
0:30:20 > 0:30:27- I think I'm going to go with...B, St Louis Rams.- The St Louis Rams.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29St Louis Rams. OK.
0:30:30 > 0:30:34Now then, Eliot and Michael, do you want to talk us through the rest of the board?
0:30:34 > 0:30:36- MICHAEL:- This is actually really good for us as well.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39And that was actually going to be our answer.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41Bottom one's the Indianapolis Colts,
0:30:41 > 0:30:43it's the Atlanta Falcons,
0:30:43 > 0:30:44the Miami Dolphins.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46I think we're going to have to go for the top one,
0:30:46 > 0:30:48which is the Jacksonville Jaguars.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51The Jacksonville Jaguars, say Eliot and Michael.
0:30:51 > 0:30:54So Robin and Mary said the St Louis Rams. Let's see if that's right.
0:30:54 > 0:30:56Let's see how many people said that.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00It's right.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12We will now discover whether or not that was the correct one to pick,
0:31:12 > 0:31:15because Eliot and Michael, who also knew the full table,
0:31:15 > 0:31:18have gone for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Let's see if that's right.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20Let's see how many people said that.
0:31:23 > 0:31:24It's right.
0:31:26 > 0:31:27Is that going to go lower than 20?
0:31:27 > 0:31:29Oh. There we are. There's your answer. 28.
0:31:31 > 0:31:35Well done, Robin and Mary. That's exactly what you needed to do.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37You're back in the game. After two questions, it's one-all.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39Good head-to-head so far, isn't it?
0:31:39 > 0:31:42Jacksonville Jaguars owned by Shahid Khan, who also owns Fulham now.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44Fulham FC.
0:31:44 > 0:31:47Now, there is an answer up there that would've beaten the Rams.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50It's not the Miami Dolphins. That would've scored you too many points.
0:31:50 > 0:31:55That would've scored you...62. It's not the Atlanta Falcons.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57That would've scored you too many points as well.
0:31:57 > 0:31:59That would've scored you 29.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02It's the Indianapolis Colts, which would've scored you 19.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04- HE LAUGHS - Would have just snuck through.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09Thanks very much indeed. OK. It comes down to a decider.
0:32:09 > 0:32:13Here's the third question. Whoever wins this goes to the final and plays for the jackpot.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15Best of luck, both pairs. It concerns...
0:32:17 > 0:32:19The London Underground. Richard?
0:32:19 > 0:32:22I'll give you five clues now to facts about the London Underground.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24Can you give us the most obscure answer out of these five?
0:32:24 > 0:32:26- Best of luck, both teams. - Thanks very much.
0:32:26 > 0:32:29Let's reveal our five clues, and here they come.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53I'll read those all one last time.
0:33:13 > 0:33:16There we are. Now, Eliot and Michael, you will go first.
0:33:16 > 0:33:18OK. What do you think?
0:33:18 > 0:33:20THEY CONFER QUIETLY
0:33:21 > 0:33:27OK. We're going to say the two-word name for the station in EastEnders.
0:33:27 > 0:33:30This is a bit of a punt, though. Walford East.
0:33:30 > 0:33:34Walford East, say Eliot and Michael. Walford East.
0:33:34 > 0:33:38Robin and Mary, do you want to talk us through the rest of the board?
0:33:38 > 0:33:42ROBIN: Oh, we'll try. Um...I think the first one...
0:33:42 > 0:33:44HE READS THE QUESTION I think is 150.
0:33:44 > 0:33:48The colour of the circle on the logo is red.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50Draughtsman, don't know.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53I probably would've said something similar - Walford, Walford East.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55And don't know the four-letter nickname
0:33:55 > 0:33:57derived from the shape of the tunnels.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00So we're going to take a bit of a guess for the first one
0:34:00 > 0:34:02and say it's 150 years.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05150 years, say Robin and Mary.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08OK, so Eliot and Michael said Walford East for the station in EastEnders.
0:34:08 > 0:34:12Let's see if that's right, and if it is, let's see how many people said Walford East.
0:34:14 > 0:34:15Absolutely right.
0:34:15 > 0:34:17Well done.
0:34:19 > 0:34:20Ooh, it's a good answer!
0:34:20 > 0:34:22Look at that. Ten, very well done.
0:34:22 > 0:34:23Thank you very much.
0:34:25 > 0:34:26Ten for Walford East.
0:34:26 > 0:34:32Robin and Mary, meanwhile, have said 150 years celebrated in 2013.
0:34:32 > 0:34:36Let's see if that's right. And if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:34:39 > 0:34:40It's right.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47Well done, guys.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49Well done, Eliot and Michael.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51That means after three questions,
0:34:51 > 0:34:54- you are through to the final two-one.- Well played, both teams.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56Yeah, that's terrific work.
0:34:56 > 0:34:58I guarantee you you do know the four-letter
0:34:58 > 0:35:00nickname for the London Underground.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02- It's the Tube.- The Tube!
0:35:02 > 0:35:05Don't even think of it as a nickname these days, do we, it's so familiar.
0:35:05 > 0:35:0870 points, it would have scored you, though.
0:35:08 > 0:35:12Um...the usual colour, you're right, was red.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14That would've scored too many as well. Scored you 63.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16The only answer that beats Walford East
0:35:16 > 0:35:20is the electrical draughtsman who did that extraordinary job redesigning the map.
0:35:20 > 0:35:24Absolutely transformed the Underground. And it was Harry Beck.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26Four points. So, very well done if you said that.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31So the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round is Robin and Mary,
0:35:31 > 0:35:33but what an exciting head-to-head that was.
0:35:33 > 0:35:36Very, very close indeed. I mean, that could've gone either way, I think.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39But we'll see you again next time. We'll look forward to that.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42On the evidence of seen today, I think you'll do just as well, if not better.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45- But, Robin and Mary, thanks so much for playing.- Thank you.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51But for Eliot and Michael, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57Congratulations, Eliot and Michael.
0:35:57 > 0:35:58You've seen off all the competition
0:35:58 > 0:36:00and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02So, many congratulations.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09You now have the chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:36:09 > 0:36:13And at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £2,000.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19Well, faultless performance, I have to say.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21You were our lowest scorers in the first round,
0:36:21 > 0:36:24you gave the lowest-scoring answer in our second round.
0:36:24 > 0:36:27Two-one in the head-to-head. Very well done.
0:36:27 > 0:36:30You dispatched everyone else with ruthlessness there.
0:36:30 > 0:36:34What would you like to see come up in this last round?
0:36:34 > 0:36:39- Bit of music, maybe. Some sport. - Sport, music, yeah.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42German industrial metal, maybe. Something like that.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44- LAUGHTER - Yeah.
0:36:44 > 0:36:48As always, you kick this round off by choosing the category you want to answer under,
0:36:48 > 0:36:51and here are the four options you can choose from.
0:37:00 > 0:37:03The top one. Has to be the top one. Yeah.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08- Yeah. Think we're going to go for men's running records.- OK.
0:37:08 > 0:37:11Men's running records you're going to go for. Richard?
0:37:11 > 0:37:13Yeah, here's your three different options.
0:37:13 > 0:37:18We're looking for anybody who has broken the world 10,000m record
0:37:18 > 0:37:21on the track since the end of the Second World War.
0:37:21 > 0:37:23So anyone who's broken the 10,000m world record.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26Anyone who's got the 100m world record since 1977, which is
0:37:26 > 0:37:28when they started electronically timing them.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31So, any 100m world record holder.
0:37:31 > 0:37:35Or any post-war one-mile world record holder.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38So 10,000m world record holder, one-mile world record holder, both
0:37:38 > 0:37:43of those since the war, or any 100m world record holder since 1977.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45- Very, very best of luck, guys.- OK.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48As always, you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers,
0:37:48 > 0:37:51and all you need to win that jackpot is for just one of those answers to
0:37:51 > 0:37:52be pointless.
0:37:52 > 0:37:55Remember, the answers you give can come from any of these categories,
0:37:55 > 0:37:58and how you spread them across those categories is up to you.
0:37:58 > 0:38:00You can have one from each,
0:38:00 > 0:38:03- Entirely down to you. Are you ready?- Yes.- Yes.- OK.
0:38:03 > 0:38:06Let's put those 60 seconds up on the screen. There they are.
0:38:06 > 0:38:07Your time starts now.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10- Got anything?- Usain Bolt. HE LAUGHS
0:38:10 > 0:38:12No. I've got...
0:38:12 > 0:38:14I think the 100m world record,
0:38:14 > 0:38:17I think Calvin Smith held that at one point.
0:38:17 > 0:38:19So we're going to go Calvin Smith.
0:38:19 > 0:38:24- 10k, Lasse Viren, we'll say for that, probably.- And the other one?
0:38:24 > 0:38:28- No mile, no. Don't know any for that.- We have three, though.- I know.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30100m world record, another one.
0:38:31 > 0:38:35Or 10km. 10km.
0:38:35 > 0:38:39Maybe... I mean, there's a lot of Kenyans obviously running. Right.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42Henry Rono. Right. Think we're going to go.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45OK. You're ready. Shall we stop the clock? OK.
0:38:45 > 0:38:50- What are your three answers going to be?- Calvin Smith.- Which, sorry?
0:38:50 > 0:38:54- Sorry. 100m world record.- 100m world record since '77.- Calvin Smith.
0:38:54 > 0:39:01- Calvin Smith.- Post-war 10km world records, Henry Rono...- Henry Rono.
0:39:01 > 0:39:02What was the other one I said?
0:39:02 > 0:39:07- Lasse Viren.- Lasse Viren. - Lasse Viren.
0:39:07 > 0:39:11- And that's also in the 10km.- That's the 10km, sorry, yes.- OK. Right.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:39:13 > 0:39:16- Calvin Smith. - Calvin Smith we'll put last.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18I think that's the one that might -
0:39:18 > 0:39:20the other two, I'm really not sure about.
0:39:20 > 0:39:24OK, which is your least likely to be pointless, do you think?
0:39:24 > 0:39:27- Lasse Viren. - Lasse Viren we'll put first.
0:39:27 > 0:39:29OK, let's pop those up on the board in that order. And here they are.
0:39:29 > 0:39:36We have got Lasse Viren, Henry Rono and Calvin Smith.
0:39:36 > 0:39:41Well, very, very best of luck. Your first answer was Lasse Viren.
0:39:42 > 0:39:45Now, remember, only one of these answers has to be pointless for you
0:39:45 > 0:39:47to win that jackpot of £2,000.
0:39:47 > 0:39:48Now, if you were to win that,
0:39:48 > 0:39:50what would you do with your share of that?
0:39:50 > 0:39:52Eliot?
0:39:52 > 0:39:55My wife has got a big birthday coming up next year
0:39:55 > 0:39:58and we've booked a holiday to the west coast of America.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01It would just make it a bit more luxurious.
0:40:01 > 0:40:05She'd like at least one night in a beach house in Malibu,
0:40:05 > 0:40:07so hopefully that would pay for half a night.
0:40:07 > 0:40:10- HE LAUGHS - Michael, how about you?
0:40:10 > 0:40:13I'll probably just go on a holiday with my friends next year.
0:40:13 > 0:40:16- So, go away somewhere nice in the sun with them.- Very good indeed. OK.
0:40:16 > 0:40:18Your first answer, Lasse Viren.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20This has to be correct, then it has to be pointless.
0:40:20 > 0:40:21I'm not sure that it is correct.
0:40:21 > 0:40:24But if it is correct, it might very well go down to pointless.
0:40:24 > 0:40:27But it has to be both of those things to win that jackpot of £2,000.
0:40:27 > 0:40:30So let's find out how many of our 100 people had
0:40:30 > 0:40:36Lasse Viren down as a 10,000m world record holder since the war.
0:40:38 > 0:40:42It's right! Very well done, Eliot and Michael.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44Down goes Lasse Viren through the 40s,
0:40:44 > 0:40:48through the 30s and 20s into the teens.
0:40:48 > 0:40:50Into single figures. Still going down. Down it goes.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53Very well done indeed.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58That's a brilliant answer. Only two people got Lasse Viren.
0:40:58 > 0:41:02I mean, in normal gameplay, that would be a fabulous answer.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05Sadly, in this round, we're only interested in pointless answers.
0:41:05 > 0:41:08So you only have two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:41:08 > 0:41:12Your next answer, Henry Rono. Again, this has to be correct.
0:41:12 > 0:41:16- You weren't entirely sure if this was correct either.- Not at all.
0:41:16 > 0:41:19Fingers crossed. If this is correct, it may well be pointless.
0:41:19 > 0:41:24Let's see how many people said Henry Rono was a 10,000m world record
0:41:24 > 0:41:25holder since the war.
0:41:28 > 0:41:31It's right. It's right.
0:41:31 > 0:41:34Now, your first answer, Lasse Viren, took us all the way down to two.
0:41:34 > 0:41:36Your second answer, Henry Rono,
0:41:36 > 0:41:39is now taking us down through the single figures.
0:41:39 > 0:41:40Down it goes. Still going down.
0:41:40 > 0:41:41You've done it! Very well done!
0:41:41 > 0:41:43CHEERING, APPLAUSE
0:41:44 > 0:41:48- Very well done indeed. Fantastic. That's a great result.- Thank you.
0:41:52 > 0:41:54Well done, mate.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56Oh, congratulations.
0:41:56 > 0:41:57Henry Rono was a pointless answer,
0:41:57 > 0:42:00which means you go home with that jackpot of £2,000.
0:42:00 > 0:42:01Very well done.
0:42:07 > 0:42:09From the second you chose that category,
0:42:09 > 0:42:12I knew you were going to win that jackpot.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14I just had a sixth sense about it, especially
0:42:14 > 0:42:16because Calvin Smith was also a pointless answer.
0:42:16 > 0:42:18APPLAUSE
0:42:24 > 0:42:25Very, very well played, guys.
0:42:25 > 0:42:28Let's go through some of the other pointless answers.
0:42:28 > 0:42:31David Bedford, the UK runner, was a pointless answer.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33There's Henry Rono of Kenya.
0:42:33 > 0:42:36Another Kenyan, Paul Tergat, would've been a pointless answer.
0:42:36 > 0:42:40Vladimir Kuts of the Soviet Union also would've been pointless.
