0:00:12 > 0:00:15APPLAUSE
0:00:20 > 0:00:23Thank you very much indeed. Hello. I'm Alexander Armstrong
0:00:23 > 0:00:26and welcome to Pointless, the show where the aim of the game
0:00:26 > 0:00:28is to avoid obvious answers and find the obscure ones.
0:00:28 > 0:00:31Let's meet today's players.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35And couple number one.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37Hi. I'm Steve and this is my mate Fraser
0:00:37 > 0:00:40- and we're from Edinburgh and Kinross.- And couple number two.
0:00:40 > 0:00:41Hello, Alexander. I'm David.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43This is Rosie. She's my mum
0:00:43 > 0:00:46and we're from Broxbourne and Hoddesdon in Hertfordshire.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47Couple number three.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51I'm Hannah. This is Matt. He's my husband and we're from Bristol.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54- And finally, couple number four. - Hi, I'm Dhru and this is Mitesh.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57We're friends. I'm from Cheltenham and he's from West London.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59And these are today's contestants.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Thanks, all of you. We'll find out more about you throughout the show,
0:01:04 > 0:01:07as it goes along. That just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11Unequivocally and unarguably the cleverest man on that chair,
0:01:11 > 0:01:14it's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17Hiya. Hi, everybody. Hiya.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22- Afternoon to you.- And to you.- How are you?- I'm very well, thank you.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Excellent. We've got Hannah and Matt back from last time.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27- They were really properly good. - They were good.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29They were unlucky in that head-to-head, got knocked out.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32I don't want to scare anyone else, but leading up to that,
0:01:32 > 0:01:35- they were terrific all the way through.- I think that was tactics.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38- Getting knocked out?- I think they threw it?- Of course.- Threw it.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Actually, of course it was. So they could come back and have
0:01:40 > 0:01:43- a slightly bigger jackpot and be on telly for a bit longer...- Yep.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46..and skive off from being police officers for a bit longer as well.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49- Clever.- Clever.- I worry about the streets of Bristol
0:01:49 > 0:01:52- with both of them here, though. - True. Yeah.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54That's been two days without the law enforcement.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57- The long arm of the law.- Exactly.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59Bristol is running amok.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02- Bet it is as well.- I bet it is.
0:02:02 > 0:02:07- I bet even Bath is starting to get a little bit tasty.- Edgy.- Exactly.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Now, do you want me to talk you through some of the questions?
0:02:09 > 0:02:12- Quickly, quickly.- I can't, unfortunately, because
0:02:12 > 0:02:14for once in my life I've forgotten to bring them with me.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17So, while you're talking to the people on the first podium,
0:02:17 > 0:02:21a magic pixie's going to bring them on for me, I'm almost certain.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23- Wow.- What do you think about that? - That is...
0:02:23 > 0:02:25I can see the magic pixie arriving.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28I will talk to the guys and then I'll come back to you
0:02:28 > 0:02:31- by which time you'll know all about the questions.- Hey!
0:02:31 > 0:02:33It's going to be a good show, though.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36The questions are going to be amazing. Genuinely terrific stuff.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38I'm looking forward to them.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41We're going to do stuff about post-apocalypse Bristol.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43I think it's going to be one of the rounds.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47Fantastic. Thanks, Richard. As usual, all of today's questions have been asked to 100 people
0:02:47 > 0:02:50before the show and our contestants here are on the hunt
0:02:50 > 0:02:52for one of those all-important pointless answers,
0:02:52 > 0:02:54an answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Each time that happens, we will add 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Now, Steve and JK didn't win the jackpot last time, so we add another
0:03:00 > 0:03:03£1,000 to that. So, today's jackpot starts off
0:03:03 > 0:03:04at £2,000.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17- OK. Now, the pair... - Can I just say?- Yeah?
0:03:17 > 0:03:20The magic pixie has just been in and I was right.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Round One is an absolute doozy.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25I'm so glad I got these before I talk to you
0:03:25 > 0:03:28because everyone's going to need warning about how good Round One is.
0:03:28 > 0:03:33- Brilliant.- It's a cracker. - I can't wait. Hold that thought.- OK.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36Now, the pair with the highest score at the end of this round will be eliminated.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40But also do remember there is to be no conferring during the round. OK.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43So, our first category today is...
0:03:43 > 0:03:44He's right. It's Famous People.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:03:47 > 0:03:48who's going to go second?
0:03:48 > 0:03:51And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Look at that. They can hardly hold themselves back.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58- You haven't seen the question yet. - They're fighting to go first.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01- Of course they are.- I've never seen that before.- It's amazing, isn't it?
0:04:01 > 0:04:04OK. Now, the question concerns...
0:04:07 > 0:04:10- That's the best thing ever. - Thank you very much.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Worth waiting for, wasn't it?
0:04:12 > 0:04:15We're going to show you seven clues to famous people known by the name
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Nigel, you just have to give us the most obscure answer you can, please.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21There's going to be 14 Nigels to get at home,
0:04:21 > 0:04:23very best of luck on your Nigel hunt.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27OK, 14 Nigels, we are looking for these famous people called Nigel,
0:04:27 > 0:04:29and here is the first board of seven.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59I will read those all one last time.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28Steve and Fraser, you all drew lots before the show
0:05:28 > 0:05:30and today you are going to go first.
0:05:30 > 0:05:34Steve, first into the Nigels, what about that? What a treat.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36- I'm ready for this. - Steve, you are from Edinburgh.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38What do you do up in Edinburgh?
0:05:38 > 0:05:42I work in IT for Britain's largest fleet management company.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44What do you do in your spare time?
0:05:44 > 0:05:47I play a lot of sport, football, basketball, cricket.
0:05:47 > 0:05:52- A little bit of home baking. - What is your signature bake?
0:05:52 > 0:05:56Apple crumble is pretty good. Victoria sponge.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00- Apple crumble, I got a really good tip the other day.- Go on, then.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03This is absolutely true. You put a bit of cheddar cheese in there.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06You grate a bit of cheddar cheese - not in the crumble, on the apple.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09When it melts, it's delicious. I've tried it.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11People take the mick out of Xander all the time, I'm sorry,
0:06:11 > 0:06:13this sort of thing comes up sometimes.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15I can see why.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18I always like to put some blackberries in my lasagne as well.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22Now that's just silly. Anyway, I give you that for nothing.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Now, Steve, which of these Nigels?
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Who knew there were so many Nigels?
0:06:27 > 0:06:29There's a couple I know,
0:06:29 > 0:06:32but I think I'm going to go for the Popstars judge,
0:06:32 > 0:06:36- which I think was Nigel Lythgoe. - Nigel Lythgoe says Steve.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40Let's see if that's right, and how many people said it.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44It's right.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Not bad. 18 for Nigel Lythgoe.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55Yes, he's done all sorts, Nigel Lythgoe.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58He started out as a dancer, was a TV executive, judge,
0:06:58 > 0:07:01- all sorts of things. - OK, thank you very much indeed.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Now, David, welcome to the show. Great to have you here.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07You've come from Broxbourne. What do you do up there?
0:07:07 > 0:07:08I don't do it there,
0:07:08 > 0:07:12my office is in Crowborough, where I look after the sales
0:07:12 > 0:07:16and marketing for a small little engineering distribution company.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19OK, but when you're not doing that, you are to be found
0:07:19 > 0:07:24back in Broxbourne - you run the local pub quiz. Is that right?
0:07:24 > 0:07:29- Yes, yes, for my sins.- OK, at the Golden Lion. It's famous.
0:07:29 > 0:07:35- In the whole Broxbourne area, one of the most famous pub quizzes.- Top 20.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Yes, in the Broxbourne district.
0:07:38 > 0:07:43- I think 1492, the pub.- 1492, is she? Really?- One of the oldest pubs.
0:07:44 > 0:07:49Now then, David. Nigels, we're onto Nigels.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51I'm racking my brain for the snooker player,
0:07:51 > 0:07:53but I can't think of it, so I'm going to play a bit safe
0:07:53 > 0:07:58and says Sir Humphrey was played by Nigel Hawthorne.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Nigel Hawthorne, Nigel Hawthorne.
0:08:00 > 0:08:01OK, let's see if that is right,
0:08:01 > 0:08:04and, if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Nigel Hawthorne.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14That's a good answer, 24. Very well done.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21Well done, David. That was his big TV break, Yes Minister.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23He went on to all sorts of amazing things.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27- Nominated for an Oscar - lost out to Tom Hanks.- Of course.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29- There we are. Now, Hannah, welcome back.- Thank you.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33Hannah, last time what an exemplary turn you put in on Pointless.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Yes, I'm rather gutted, because I can't believe how
0:08:36 > 0:08:40- much of a blank I'm drawing on the rest of the board.- On the Nigels?
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Yes. Nigels are not a strong point.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47So, I'm going to go, ironically, for a politician,
0:08:47 > 0:08:50because that was not a strong point last time round.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54The British politician, resumed leadership of UKIP in 2010.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58It's a bit of a punt, but I think it might be Nigel Farage.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02Nigel Farage, you're going to say. They know their politicians.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05- That was all just a complete game, wasn't it?- Oh, yes.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08Nigel Farage, says Hannah. Let's see if that's right,
0:09:08 > 0:09:10and how many of our 100 people said Nigel Farage.
0:09:13 > 0:09:14Absolutely right.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18Well, 24 is our high... Ooh! Look at that. 62 for Nigel Farage.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Wow, I wasn't expecting it to stop so soon.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25That's a very big score, isn't it?
0:09:25 > 0:09:28He's got very good name recognition - all over the telly
0:09:28 > 0:09:34- and stuff like that.- Certainly has. OK, Dhru. Welcome to the show.
0:09:34 > 0:09:40- What do you do?- I'm a data analyst for another large IT company.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Oh, yes, Steve, IT. Exactly.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48But they were more a large fleet company, rather than IT company.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Much better at getting people from A to B, whereas you
0:09:50 > 0:09:54are an actual IT company dedicated to improve people's lives online,
0:09:54 > 0:09:57which is great.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Now, you are the last person to have this board, so, if you fancy it,
0:10:00 > 0:10:04you could talk us through all the Nigels that are as yet unclaimed.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08Well, I'm afraid I don't know any famous Nigels who are on that board.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10So I'm going to take a stab
0:10:10 > 0:10:16at the former UK Chancellor of the Exchequer as Nigel Harris.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Nigel Harris. Nigel Harris.
0:10:19 > 0:10:20OK, let's find out if that's right,
0:10:20 > 0:10:23and, if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Nigel Harris.
0:10:27 > 0:10:28Bad luck, I'm sorry,
0:10:28 > 0:10:33an incorrect answer scores you the maximum of 100 points. Sorry.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36Sorry, not Nigel Harris, it's quite a big scorer, it is of course...Lawson.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39Nigel Lawson. Nigella Lawson's father as well.
0:10:39 > 0:10:4154 points that would have scored you.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44There is another quite big scorer down there, the violinist,
0:10:44 > 0:10:47that's Nigel Kennedy. He would have scored you 39.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50The other two are the best answers up there. The snooker final...
0:10:50 > 0:10:52I know you were trying to think of the snooker player.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55Some people at home will have got this, it was Nigel Bond.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58Very well done if you said Nigel Bond, it would have scored you eight.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00The screenwriter, do you know that?
0:11:00 > 0:11:04He was married to Judith Kerr, who wrote The Tiger Who Came To Tea.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06- Oh, it's...um...- Nigel Kneale.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08That would have scored you two points,
0:11:08 > 0:11:11so well done if you said that, it's the best answer up there.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14Thanks very much indeed. So, we're halfway through the round,
0:11:14 > 0:11:16let's take a look at the scores as they stand.
0:11:16 > 0:11:1918, the best score of that part, Steve. Very well done indeed.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21And then up to 24, we find David and Rosie.
0:11:21 > 0:11:2362, where we find Hannah and Matt,
0:11:23 > 0:11:27and up to 100 where Mitesh and Dhru currently reside.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29Now, anything might happen.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32Frankly, if we can wrangle enough Nigels and put them on the board,
0:11:32 > 0:11:36there are going to be some pretty obscure Nigels there, in my opinion.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40So, find one of those and get it right and maybe that will keep you
0:11:40 > 0:11:43in the game. Best of luck, we're going to come back down the line,
0:11:43 > 0:11:46can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:11:47 > 0:11:50OK, we're going to put seven more Nigels on the board,
0:11:50 > 0:11:52and here they are.
0:12:21 > 0:12:22I will read them one last time.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52Now, remember, we're looking for the surnames of these famous Nigels,
0:12:52 > 0:12:55and you're going to try to find us the one that you think
0:12:55 > 0:12:57the fewest of our 100 people knew. Mitesh, what do you do?
0:12:57 > 0:12:59I'm currently a student,
0:12:59 > 0:13:02but I'm actually on placement here at the moment,
0:13:02 > 0:13:08working as a credit risk coordinator for a multi-industrial company.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11OK, good stuff. Well, there you are, you are high scorers on 100.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13What we need from you is a low score.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15How do you find this second board?
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Not very good, because I was born in the '90s,
0:13:17 > 0:13:20so if you look at a few of those dates, they're not very kind to me.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23But there is one there I think I can have a stab at.
0:13:23 > 0:13:28I'm going to go with the 1992 Formula One World Drivers' champion,
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Nigel Mansell.
0:13:30 > 0:13:31Nigel Mansell, says Mitesh.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33No red line for you as you are the high scorers,
0:13:33 > 0:13:36but let's see how many of our 100 people said Nigel Mansell.
0:13:38 > 0:13:39It's right.
0:13:42 > 0:13:4457.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48157 is your total.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51Yes, it took him 13 years to win that title, Nigel Mansell.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53He nearly won it six years previously
0:13:53 > 0:13:57and then his rear tyre famously exploded in the final Grand Prix.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01OK, thank you very much indeed. Now then, Matt, welcome back.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03- Thank you.- So, here you are,
0:14:03 > 0:14:07leaving Bristol to fight crime on its own for another day.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09What happened last time?
0:14:09 > 0:14:13We had a blinding first round, bit of luck with a couple
0:14:13 > 0:14:18of questions, and a good second round, got to the head-to-head, had
0:14:18 > 0:14:22a nightmare with politics, and then we lost by a hair's breadth
0:14:22 > 0:14:24on hairstyles.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27But it is all Nigels now, which is great.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29I had three in my head on the first pass.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31One has come up and been taken,
0:14:31 > 0:14:34the other two aren't there. But, luckily...
0:14:34 > 0:14:37What are you saying, there's a couple of Nigels we let slip?
0:14:37 > 0:14:40- Absolutely.- I want to hear those at the end of the round.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44I will let you know, and you will know the names as soon as you hear.
0:14:44 > 0:14:49The Young Ones was filmed in Bristol and I've been past the house
0:14:49 > 0:14:52and I know the actor who played Neil Pye was Nigel Planer.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54Nigel Planer, says Matt.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57Well, you're on 62, you want to score 94 or less to stay in.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00There is your red line. Let's see if Nigel Planer gets you down below it.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04It's right and you are through.
0:15:09 > 0:15:1132 for Nigel Planer.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15- It takes your total up to 94. - Well played, Matt.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18Again, Matt and Hannah starting as they mean to go on.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20They did well last time, they'll do well this time.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22I just thought of a Nigel as well.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25- There is a surfeit of Nigels all of a sudden.- Who knew?
0:15:25 > 0:15:28More than enough Nigels to go around. What about that?
0:15:28 > 0:15:32I have great news for you, Rosie, you are through to the next round.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35I mean, you have to give an answer, but even if you get it wrong
0:15:35 > 0:15:38you won't overtake the high score of Dhru and Mitesh.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41So what do you get up to?
0:15:41 > 0:15:45I work as a receptionist in a local solicitors' company, which is
0:15:45 > 0:15:50very nice for me. I like quizzes, especially the quizmaster.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52- At the Golden Lion?- Yes.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Now, Rosie, what about all these Nigels?
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Oh, it's such a shame, they were the two I knew, actually.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01I don't really know the other two at all.
0:16:01 > 0:16:02Oh, I do!
0:16:02 > 0:16:04LAUGHTER
0:16:04 > 0:16:08- The last one is Nigel Slater. - Nigel Slater, Rosie.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12- That suddenly arrived.- Yes!- I think that's a good answer. Let's see.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14There's no red line for you as you are already through,
0:16:14 > 0:16:17but let's see how many people said Nigel Slater.
0:16:19 > 0:16:20Look at that.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23Perfectly right.
0:16:26 > 0:16:2921, that's a lovely score, Rosie. 21 takes your total up to 45.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Very well done, glad that came to you.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36He doesn't have a restaurant, or any commercial connections at all,
0:16:36 > 0:16:40Nigel Slater. He just calls himself "a cook who writes".
0:16:40 > 0:16:43That's nice, isn't it? Enormously popular, as well.
0:16:44 > 0:16:49So then, Fraser, we come back to you. What do you do, Fraser?
0:16:49 > 0:16:51- I'm a pharmacist.- Excellent.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53And what do you do when you are not pharmacing?
0:16:53 > 0:16:58When I'm not pharmacing as a pharmacist, I pretty much play
0:16:58 > 0:17:05basketball, coach basketball, live, eat, sleep and breathe basketball.
0:17:05 > 0:17:10- OK. And any baking at all for you? - Yes, I bake as well.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12The Great British Bake Off
0:17:12 > 0:17:15encouraged me to get my fingers in the dough.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Can I recommend something?
0:17:17 > 0:17:21If you are making a cherry pie, put a little bit of broccoli.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23LAUGHTER
0:17:23 > 0:17:26- I'll bear that in mind, Richard. - Anyway, Fraser, Nigels.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29Do you fancy talking us through the board
0:17:29 > 0:17:31and filling in the Nigels that we haven't landed on yet?
0:17:31 > 0:17:34Thankfully, as I was watching the names disappear, I thought,
0:17:34 > 0:17:35at least I still know one up there.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38One of my favourite films, Chariots Of Fire,
0:17:38 > 0:17:41one of my wife's favourite actors as well - Nigel Havers.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44Nigel Havers - there's no red line as you are already through,
0:17:44 > 0:17:47but let's see how many people said Nigel Havers.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50Absolutely right, of course.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55There we are, 28.
0:17:57 > 0:18:0128 takes your total up to 46. Well done, Fraser.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03Well played, Fraser, an incredible career, Nigel Havers.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06He's done all sorts of things. He was in Corrie last year.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Now, let's take a look at the rest.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12Talking of Corrie, the actor who has appeared as Terry Duckworth
0:18:12 > 0:18:13is Nigel Pivaro.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17Well done if you said that, that would've scored 15 points.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20The chess player is Nigel Short. That scored eight.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23And the best answer up there, the locomotive engineer,
0:18:23 > 0:18:26Nigel Gresley would've scored five points.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Well done if you said that, that was the best answer there.
0:18:28 > 0:18:29Thank you, Richard.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32At the end of our first round, the pair heading home
0:18:32 > 0:18:35with a high score of 157, it's Mitesh and Dhru.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39I'm so sorry, we threw Nigels at you and it was tough.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41We will see you again next time,
0:18:41 > 0:18:44we look forward to that very much indeed, but thanks for playing.
0:18:44 > 0:18:45APPLAUSE
0:18:47 > 0:18:50But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56Three pairs remain.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59At the end of this round, we have to say goodbye to another pair
0:18:59 > 0:19:02in time for our head-to-head round.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05Hannah and Matt, the super stars of the last show,
0:19:05 > 0:19:07you were the high scorers in that round.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10But Dave and Rosie, Steve and Fraser, only a point between you,
0:19:10 > 0:19:14and Dave and Rosie you did the best, so very well done indeed.
0:19:14 > 0:19:18Best of luck to all three pairs, our category for Round Two...
0:19:21 > 0:19:22Matt looking quite happy with that.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:19:25 > 0:19:26who is going second?
0:19:26 > 0:19:29And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:19:33 > 0:19:38We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many 2013 Formula One
0:19:38 > 0:19:41drivers as they could. 2013 Formula One drivers.
0:19:41 > 0:19:45We are looking for the names of any of the 22 drivers who started
0:19:45 > 0:19:47the 2013 Formula One season, please.
0:19:47 > 0:19:53OK, thanks very much indeed. Steve. Is this good for you?
0:19:53 > 0:19:54- Not really. - STEVE SIGHS
0:19:54 > 0:19:57Someone sighed very heavily, I think it was you. Now I hear it again.
0:19:57 > 0:19:58Yeah, it was me.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01Cos I think you didn't mind it when it came up as a general
0:20:01 > 0:20:03- but then when it was more specific...- Yeah.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05..then we got the sighs.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08I'm just going to go with a very obvious one,
0:20:08 > 0:20:10I'll go for Mark Webber.
0:20:10 > 0:20:11Mark Webber.
0:20:11 > 0:20:16OK, let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said it.
0:20:19 > 0:20:20It's right.
0:20:23 > 0:20:2535.
0:20:25 > 0:20:26That's not too bad.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Perfectly respectable, Steve.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32It was his last season, Mark Webber,
0:20:32 > 0:20:37the Brazilian Grand Prix was his 215th and final Grand Prix.
0:20:37 > 0:20:41- Thanks, Richard. Now, David. - Hello.- David, Formula One.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44Now, I didn't hear anything from you, no sighs, no whoops,
0:20:44 > 0:20:45I have no idea.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49I would've said this is a good subject and my mind has gone blank.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52- Ah.- I'll go Kimi Raikkonen.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55Kimi Raikkonen.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59OK, let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said it.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03It's right.
0:21:03 > 0:21:0735 is our only score so far, you've past that.
0:21:07 > 0:21:0818.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10APPLAUSE
0:21:11 > 0:21:1318 for Kimi Raikkonen.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16Yeah, Lotus driver Kimi Raikkonen, former world champion as well.
0:21:16 > 0:21:21Thanks, Richard. Now, Matt. Matt, you seemed very happy with this.
0:21:21 > 0:21:22I like a lot of Formula One.
0:21:22 > 0:21:26I was hoping for an older question about previous races but I'm
0:21:26 > 0:21:31surprised at how low Webber scored so I'm going to go with Max Chilton.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33Max Chilton says Matt.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said it.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42Very well done. Well, 35's our highest score, 18 our low.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44You pass 35,
0:21:44 > 0:21:45you're pass 18.
0:21:45 > 0:21:475.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50That's the way to do it, Matt. Back on top.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Well played, Matt.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Yeah, British driver, Max Chilton, drives for Marussia.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59He was permanently at the back because of the car
0:21:59 > 0:22:01but he finished every single race,
0:22:01 > 0:22:03the first rookie ever to do that in Formula One history.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06- That is impressive. - It is impressive, isn't it?
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Thanks very much, Richard. Well, we're halfway through the round,
0:22:08 > 0:22:11let's take a look at those scores. 5, Matt, what about that?
0:22:11 > 0:22:14See, this is what it was like back in the glory days of last time,
0:22:14 > 0:22:16do you remember? Yes, you and Hannah looking very strong.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18Then up to 18 where we find David and Rosie
0:22:18 > 0:22:20and then to 35 for Steve and Fraser so,
0:22:20 > 0:22:23Fraser, I hope your Formula One is good enough
0:22:23 > 0:22:26and you can find something that will keep you in the game. Best of luck.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28We're going to come back down the line,
0:22:28 > 0:22:30can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:22:33 > 0:22:37Hannah, we are looking for 2013 Formula One drivers.
0:22:37 > 0:22:4029 or less keeps you from becoming the high scorers.
0:22:40 > 0:22:45I'm going to go with...a driver that I know is driving
0:22:45 > 0:22:48so I can name a few but I just want to make sure that he is still
0:22:48 > 0:22:52driving so I'm going to go for Fernando Alonso.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55Fernando Alonso says Hannah. There's your red line.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Get below that, you are definitely in the head-to-head.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Let's see how many of our 100 people said Fernando Alonso.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04It's right.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09You've done it. Very well done, Hannah,
0:23:09 > 0:23:1128.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13You needed 29 or less, you've got it.
0:23:13 > 0:23:1533 is your total.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17Two-time world champion Fernando Alonso.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21Very good answer, you did exactly what you needed to do.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25- Thanks. Now, Rosie. How are you feeling about this?- Em, OK, a bit.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27OK, a bit? Good.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31Well, you're on 18. The high scorers are still Fraser and Steve on 35.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33If you want to avoid overtaking them
0:23:33 > 0:23:36before they've given their answer, 16 or less.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42- Jenson Button. - Jenson Button says Rosie.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44There's your red line, that's quite low.
0:23:44 > 0:23:48Let's see how far down the column you get with Jenson Button.
0:23:50 > 0:23:51It's right.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55Oh, it's a high one, I'm afraid, Rosie.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59That takes your total up to 84.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01Another former world champion
0:24:01 > 0:24:05but just ninth in 2013 for Jenson Button but very big name recognition.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Mm.
0:24:07 > 0:24:08Thanks very much indeed.
0:24:08 > 0:24:13Now, Fraser, if you can score 48 or less, you're in the head-to-head.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15What do you think?
0:24:15 > 0:24:17I think I'll play it relatively safe
0:24:17 > 0:24:20and go for the Toro Rosso driver Daniel Ricciardo.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Daniel Ricciardo says Fraser.
0:24:23 > 0:24:24There's your red line,
0:24:24 > 0:24:27let's see if you can get down below that with Daniel Ricciardo.
0:24:29 > 0:24:30It's right.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35You are in the head-to-head, well done.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38And how! Look at that, 5. That's a great score.
0:24:38 > 0:24:405 takes your total up to 40.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Joint lowest scorer of the round there, Fraser.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46Well played, Fraser, terrific answer.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49As you say, he drove for Toro Rosso in 2013.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51Destined for very great things, I think.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54Now, there's no pointless answers cos our 100 are very good at this
0:24:54 > 0:24:56sort of thing but there's a couple of one-pointers.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59If you said Jules Bianchi, very well done,
0:24:59 > 0:25:02the Marussia driver, the team-mate of Max Chilton.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05And Esteban Gutierrez also would've scored you one point.
0:25:05 > 0:25:09And Nico Hulkenberg would have scored you two points.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12Other low scorers, Valtteri Bottas would've scored you
0:25:12 > 0:25:14three as would Pastor Maldonado, Jean-Eric Vergne
0:25:14 > 0:25:17and Giedo van der Garde, all of them would have scored three.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Charles Pic would've scored you four.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Romain Grosjean would've scored you nine points.
0:25:21 > 0:25:2713 for Massa and Rosberg. Let's take a look at the top three scorers.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Here's what most of our 100 people said.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33Vettel would've scored you 48,
0:25:33 > 0:25:34Jenson Button, 66,
0:25:34 > 0:25:37and right at the top, Lewis Hamilton with 67,
0:25:37 > 0:25:39just pipping Button there.
0:25:39 > 0:25:40Thanks very much indeed.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43So, at the end of our second round, I'm afraid the pair heading
0:25:43 > 0:25:45home with a high score of 84, it's Rosie and David.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48Well, really, nothing wrong with your answering there.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51I guess Jenson Button was just a bit of a high score but it doesn't matter.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53The great news is we get to see you again next time.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56We look forward to that. Rosie and David, thanks so much for playing.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58APPLAUSE
0:25:58 > 0:26:02But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for the head-to-head.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08Congratulations, Steve and Fraser, Hannah and Matt,
0:26:08 > 0:26:10you are now one step closer to the final
0:26:10 > 0:26:15and a chance to play for our jackpot which currently stands at...
0:26:15 > 0:26:17APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:26:17 > 0:26:19Now, we have to decide who's going to play for that money in the
0:26:19 > 0:26:23Pointless final and to do that, you are now going to go head-to-head.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25The good news is you are now allowed to confer and the first pair
0:26:25 > 0:26:28to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31Best of luck to both pairs, let's play the head-to-head.
0:26:35 > 0:26:39OK, here is your first question and it concerns...
0:26:43 > 0:26:44We're going to show you five outfits,
0:26:44 > 0:26:47costumes or items now famously worn by a particular pop artist.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51You just need to tell us who they're worn by, please. Very best of luck.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55Thanks very much. So, let's reveal our costumes and here they come.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57We have got...
0:27:15 > 0:27:18There we are, five pop costumes.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21Now, Steve and Fraser, you've played best throughout the show
0:27:21 > 0:27:23so far so you will go first.
0:27:25 > 0:27:29THEY CONFER QUIETLY
0:27:34 > 0:27:40We're going to go for E, a personal favourite of ours, Kylie Minogue.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43Kylie Minogue say Steve and Fraser.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45Now, Hannah and Matt, do you think you can talk us
0:27:45 > 0:27:47through the rest of that board?
0:27:47 > 0:27:50Yeah, I've got an inkling that A might be Shakira or
0:27:50 > 0:27:54Christina Aguilera but it would be a bit of a punt.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57I'm not sure about B, I don't recognise that at all.
0:27:57 > 0:28:01We're confident that C is Freddie Mercury and D is Madonna.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03I don't mind. Go on.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06Let's go D. D, Madonna.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09D, Madonna. OK, so we have Kylie Minogue, we have Madonna.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12Steve and Fraser said Kylie Minogue for E.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said it.
0:28:17 > 0:28:18It's right.
0:28:22 > 0:28:2867 for Kylie Minogue. That's quite high, isn't it?
0:28:28 > 0:28:31Hannah and Matt meanwhile have said that D is Madonna.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34D, Madonna, let's see how many people said that.
0:28:36 > 0:28:37That's right.
0:28:39 > 0:28:4279 for Madonna.
0:28:44 > 0:28:48Very well done, Steve and Fraser. After one question, you are up 1-0.
0:28:48 > 0:28:51Yeah, Hannah and Matt, I think I would have done what you did there,
0:28:51 > 0:28:53I would have avoided Freddie Mercury cos I would've thought it'd be
0:28:53 > 0:28:56a big score but, actually, it would've won you the points.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59It is Freddie Mercury, it would've only scored you 52.
0:28:59 > 0:29:00Isn't that amazing?
0:29:01 > 0:29:03Now, for the first one.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06If you'd had to choose between Shakira and Christina Aguilera,
0:29:06 > 0:29:09- which would you have chosen? - Shakira came into my mind first.
0:29:09 > 0:29:14OK, it was Britney Spears. Would've scored you nine points.
0:29:14 > 0:29:18And B is Katy Perry. That's the best answer up there, one point.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21- I was sure that was Shakira. - You thought it was Shakira?
0:29:21 > 0:29:22Yeah, the one on the left.
0:29:24 > 0:29:27Em, how extraordinary? Well, there we go.
0:29:27 > 0:29:30Thanks very much indeed. So, here comes your second question.
0:29:30 > 0:29:32Hannah and Matt, you get to answer this one first
0:29:32 > 0:29:35but you have to win it to stay in the game so very, very best of luck.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37Here it comes, it concerns...
0:29:41 > 0:29:43We're going to show you five clues now to films that either have
0:29:43 > 0:29:45red, white or blue in their title.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48Can you give us the most obscure answer? Good luck.
0:29:48 > 0:29:52OK, thanks very much. Let's reveal our five clues and here they come.
0:29:52 > 0:29:56ALEXANDER READS CLUES
0:30:12 > 0:30:16I'll read those all one last time.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19ALEXANDER REPEATS CLUES
0:30:33 > 0:30:37Hannah and Matt, you'll go first.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39THEY CONFER QUIETLY
0:30:49 > 0:30:53Yeah, we're going to go for the Mafia comedy with Hugh Grant,
0:30:53 > 0:30:55we think it was Mickey Blue Eyes.
0:30:55 > 0:31:00Mickey Blue Eyes say Hannah and Matt. Now, Steve and Fraser.
0:31:02 > 0:31:06Well, the top one is The Hunt For Red October.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08The second one, I think, is Red Dragon.
0:31:08 > 0:31:12The third one is White Christmas. And you're on your own.
0:31:13 > 0:31:14Nope.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17The bottom one I can't remember at all.
0:31:17 > 0:31:19I just can't think of it.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22I think we'll go for prequel in which Anthony Hopkins
0:31:22 > 0:31:24reprised his role and we'll go for Red Dragon.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27OK, so we have Mickey Blue Eyes and Red Dragon.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30Now, Hannah and Matthew, you've said Mickey Blue Eyes.
0:31:30 > 0:31:34Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said it.
0:31:36 > 0:31:37It's right.
0:31:41 > 0:31:4223.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44APPLAUSE
0:31:46 > 0:31:4923, that seems OK, but you have to win this one to stay in the game.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52Steve and Fraser have gone for Red Dragon.
0:31:52 > 0:31:54Let's find out, Red Dragon, is it right?
0:31:54 > 0:31:56Will it beat Mickey Blue Eyes?
0:32:02 > 0:32:04Oooh, look at that!
0:32:04 > 0:32:05Wow, 24.
0:32:05 > 0:32:11Very well done, Hannah and Matthew, that was incredibly well reasoned.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15By the skin of your teeth, you are in the game still.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17After two questions, it's 1-1.
0:32:17 > 0:32:18Well, last time, Hannah
0:32:18 > 0:32:20and Matt avoided an answer that would've won them the point.
0:32:20 > 0:32:24This time, you've done it because The Hunt For Red October would have seen you through.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27- BOTH:- Are you kidding? - Yeah, seven points for that.
0:32:27 > 0:32:28It's a famous film
0:32:28 > 0:32:31but maybe people didn't recognise the description of it, I don't know.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34The festive favourite starring Bing Crosby, I think you all knew,
0:32:34 > 0:32:35is White Christmas.
0:32:35 > 0:32:38Big scorer, though, 86 points for that.
0:32:38 > 0:32:39The Michael Haneke film,
0:32:39 > 0:32:42very well done at home if you got this, The White Ribbon.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44Terrific answer.
0:32:44 > 0:32:48Thanks very much indeed. So, here comes the decider. This is your third question.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51Whoever wins this goes through to the final and plays for that jackpot.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54Best of luck to both pairs. It concerns...
0:32:56 > 0:33:00We're going to show you five types of Mexican food now but in anagram form.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02Can you unscramble them and give us the best answer?
0:33:02 > 0:33:05The team who does is going through to play for the jackpot.
0:33:05 > 0:33:08Thanks very much, let's reveal our five anagrams of Mexican food
0:33:08 > 0:33:10and here we have...
0:33:22 > 0:33:26There we are, Steve and Fraser, you will go first this time.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32THEY CONFER QUIETLY
0:33:36 > 0:33:40The bottom one is chimichanga.
0:33:40 > 0:33:44Chimichanga say Steve and Fraser.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46Now then, Hannah and Matthew.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48Do you want to talk us through the rest of the board?
0:33:48 > 0:33:50We had just worked out chimichanga.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53I think the second one down is burrito and we're going to
0:33:53 > 0:33:56have to go with it, aren't we? I can't think of anything else there.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59Can you think of any others that might fit?
0:33:59 > 0:34:03The only things I can think of is churros and enchiladas.
0:34:03 > 0:34:08- No. It'll have to be burrito. - OK, you're going to go with burrito.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11So, we have chimichanga and we have burrito.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13Steve and Fraser said chimichanga.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said it.
0:34:19 > 0:34:20It's right.
0:34:23 > 0:34:25Wow, very well done. 15.
0:34:28 > 0:34:3215 for chimichanga. Now, Hannah and Matt, you have said burrito.
0:34:32 > 0:34:36Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said it.
0:34:38 > 0:34:39It's right.
0:34:44 > 0:34:46Oh, 19 for burrito.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48APPLAUSE
0:34:48 > 0:34:52Very close, as it has been the whole way through this head-to-head.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54Absolutely fantastic head-to-head.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57Very well done to both pairs but after three questions,
0:34:57 > 0:35:00Steve and Fraser, it's you who go through to the final 2-1.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03Terrific stuff, well played, all four of you.
0:35:03 > 0:35:06All of the other three answers would have won the points, actually.
0:35:06 > 0:35:07The top one, I thought
0:35:07 > 0:35:10was easy but a lot of our 100 people had trouble with it.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12I think quite often when they're plurals, people have trouble.
0:35:12 > 0:35:16- It's nachos.- Oh, for goodness' sake. - Did you not get it either?- No.
0:35:16 > 0:35:17Yeah, 11 points.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20"At toads", do you know that?
0:35:20 > 0:35:22Tostada.
0:35:22 > 0:35:23Tostada would've scored you six points.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26Now, this other one is a pointless answer.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28If you like Mexican eggs,
0:35:28 > 0:35:30you like huevos rancheros.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32Pointless answer, very well done if you said that.
0:35:32 > 0:35:35Thank you very much indeed, Richard,
0:35:35 > 0:35:38so at the end of our head-to-head round, I'm afraid the pair
0:35:38 > 0:35:42heading home, twice the bridesmaids, never the bride.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44Oh, dear, Hannah and Matt.
0:35:44 > 0:35:48So close and what a brilliant head-to-head you gave us that time.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50I'm really sorry we have to say goodbye to you now,
0:35:50 > 0:35:53it seems such a shame, but thank you so much for playing.
0:35:53 > 0:35:54Hannah and Matt.
0:35:54 > 0:35:56APPLAUSE
0:35:57 > 0:36:01But for Steve and Fraser, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:36:04 > 0:36:05Congratulations, Steve and Fraser,
0:36:05 > 0:36:07you've fought off all the competition
0:36:07 > 0:36:11and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy, so very well done.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:36:17 > 0:36:22and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at...
0:36:22 > 0:36:24APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:36:24 > 0:36:27You've done so well, really, really well.
0:36:27 > 0:36:29Consistent good scoring throughout the show
0:36:29 > 0:36:32and you've seen off our returning pair,
0:36:32 > 0:36:35our previous head-to-headers, in fact, and here you are in the final.
0:36:35 > 0:36:38What would you like to see come up in this round?
0:36:38 > 0:36:44- He wants US sport, specifically basketball.- No surprise there.
0:36:44 > 0:36:49- Steve?- Geography. - Geography would be good.- OK, good.
0:36:49 > 0:36:50Well, very best of luck.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52As always, you start this round by choosing your category
0:36:52 > 0:36:54and here are your four options. They are...
0:37:04 > 0:37:08I think I want to go out on sport, you know.
0:37:08 > 0:37:12- I think I'm probably leaning to go for that.- Go on, then.
0:37:12 > 0:37:16- I think English sport in the 1990s. - English sport in the 1990s, OK.
0:37:16 > 0:37:20This is perfect for a couple of Scots because we're looking for three
0:37:20 > 0:37:22different things all about English teams that lost.
0:37:22 > 0:37:28So, we've got three losing English teams. We're looking for any of...
0:37:45 > 0:37:47So, three defeated England teams for two Scots.
0:37:47 > 0:37:51The 1991 Rugby World Cup final, the 1992 Cricket World Cup final,
0:37:51 > 0:37:54and the semifinal of the 1990 World Cup.
0:37:54 > 0:37:55Very best of luck, guys.
0:37:55 > 0:37:56OK, thank you very much.
0:37:56 > 0:38:00Now, as always, you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers
0:38:00 > 0:38:01and to win that jackpot,
0:38:01 > 0:38:05all you have to do is find just one pointless answer among those three.
0:38:05 > 0:38:07Now, remember your answers can come from any of these categories.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10How you spread them across the categories is entirely up
0:38:10 > 0:38:13to you, it could be one from each, two from one and one from another.
0:38:13 > 0:38:14Are you ready?
0:38:14 > 0:38:17- Yes.- OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:38:17 > 0:38:19There they are, your time starts now.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22- Right, are we just going to forget about rugby?- No.
0:38:22 > 0:38:24I think rugby,
0:38:24 > 0:38:29I would probably go for someone like Wade Dooley or Rob Andrew.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32They're not going to be pointless, though.
0:38:32 > 0:38:36- Wade Dooley potentially could be. - Cricket from '92?
0:38:37 > 0:38:42- Cricket's your sport so...- I don't know about the vintage, though.
0:38:42 > 0:38:46- What about the football?- Right, so that's Gascoigne in tears, isn't it?
0:38:46 > 0:38:51So, that's Gascoigne, Lineker, David Platt.
0:38:51 > 0:38:52Mark Wright?
0:38:52 > 0:38:55- Mark Wright was that era as well, yeah.- Who was in goals?
0:38:58 > 0:39:01- David Seaman would probably be the goalkeeper.- Um...
0:39:05 > 0:39:08- Is that Beardsley? Would he have been playing?- Yeah.
0:39:08 > 0:39:10Ten seconds left.
0:39:12 > 0:39:16- Chris Waddle?- Chris Waddle would have played as well.
0:39:16 > 0:39:19I'm sure he missed one of the penalties.
0:39:19 > 0:39:22OK, that's your time up, I now need your three answers.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26Can I pick one rugby player, then?
0:39:26 > 0:39:28- Go on, then.- Wade Dooley. - Wade Dooley.
0:39:28 > 0:39:32- For England player in the 1991 IRB World Cup final.- OK.
0:39:32 > 0:39:35- Mark Wright, did he definitely play? - We'll go for Mark Wright, yeah.
0:39:35 > 0:39:39- Mark Wright.- And Beardsley. - And Peter Beardsley.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42OK, of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:39:42 > 0:39:45- Mark Wright, I think. - OK, Mark Wright, we'll put last.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47- Least likely to be pointless? - Peter Beardsley.
0:39:47 > 0:39:48We'll put Peter Beardsley first.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51Let's pop those up on the board in that order and here they are.
0:39:51 > 0:39:52We have got...
0:39:56 > 0:39:59Well, very best of luck. Three perfectly good answers up there.
0:39:59 > 0:40:02Now, remember, only one of those has to be pointless for you to
0:40:02 > 0:40:05win that jackpot of £2,000. What would you do with that, Steve?
0:40:05 > 0:40:08I've got a bit of decorating on the cards
0:40:08 > 0:40:12so it's just going to go to my local big DIY store, I think.
0:40:12 > 0:40:16- OK, Fraser, how about you? - That would be in the holiday fund.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19Excellent. Well, best of luck. As I say, three perfectly good answers.
0:40:19 > 0:40:21Peter Beardsley was your first answer,
0:40:21 > 0:40:24the one you thought was probably least likely to be pointless.
0:40:24 > 0:40:26Let's find out. Obviously, it has to be correct
0:40:26 > 0:40:28and then pointless for you to win the jackpot, so for £2,000,
0:40:28 > 0:40:31how many people named Peter Beardsley as a player
0:40:31 > 0:40:34in the 1990 World Cup semifinal?
0:40:36 > 0:40:39It's right. It's right.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41Now, if this goes all the way down to zero,
0:40:41 > 0:40:44you will leave here straightaway with £1,000 in your back pocket.
0:40:44 > 0:40:48It's going down, still going down.
0:40:48 > 0:40:50You've done it! You have done it!
0:40:53 > 0:40:57- That is fantastic, very well done indeed.- I can't believe that.
0:40:57 > 0:40:59Very well done.
0:40:59 > 0:41:03APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:41:03 > 0:41:07Superb. Massive congratulations, Steve and Fraser.
0:41:07 > 0:41:10Well, the DIY store will be rubbing their hands.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13Literally cannot wait to get the stepladders out.
0:41:13 > 0:41:15Peter Beardsley was a pointless answer which means you leave
0:41:15 > 0:41:18here with that jackpot of £2,000. Very well done indeed.
0:41:18 > 0:41:21APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:41:23 > 0:41:26Very well played, guys. I'm sad that Steve and Fraser aren't back next time.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29That's the only bad thing when people get through to the final.
0:41:29 > 0:41:31You've been terrific. You know what?
0:41:31 > 0:41:33We should give Scottish people losing English teams more often
0:41:33 > 0:41:37because Peter Beardsley was pointless and Wade Dooley was also pointless.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40APPLAUSE
0:41:43 > 0:41:48And for the sake of Scots everywhere, Mark Wright was also pointless.
0:41:48 > 0:41:51APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:41:53 > 0:41:56Three pointless answers, it happens very rarely on this show
0:41:56 > 0:41:59so congratulations, guys, you should be very proud of yourselves,
0:41:59 > 0:42:02you've done terrifically all the way through. Terrific way to end as well.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04Let's take a look at the other pointless answers,
0:42:04 > 0:42:06I know people at home will have got others.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09There's Rob Andrew as well who you also said in your 60 seconds.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12Dewi Morris, Jason Leonard would've been a pointless answer.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14Jonathan Webb, you could have had David Pears, Dean Richards,
0:42:14 > 0:42:17Gary Pearce, Jeff Probyn would've been pointless.
0:42:17 > 0:42:20Mike Teague, Nigel Heslop, Paul Ackford, Peter Winterbottom,
0:42:20 > 0:42:22Richard Hill, Simon Halliday, all of those are pointless.
0:42:22 > 0:42:24I think, it's exactly as you were saying,
0:42:24 > 0:42:27when you date-stamp them, people forget who was in particular eras.
0:42:27 > 0:42:28You remember the players,
0:42:28 > 0:42:30but can't remember exactly the years they played in.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33Let's take a look at the cricket ones cos you didn't give us any from here.
0:42:33 > 0:42:36All sort of all-rounders, these four, Chris Lewis, Dermot Reeve,
0:42:36 > 0:42:39Phil Defreitas and Richard Illingworth, the spinner.
0:42:39 > 0:42:40Also, Neil Fairbrother,
0:42:40 > 0:42:42the batsman, also would have been a pointless answer there.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44And for the football question.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49You could have had Chris Woods, the goalie,
0:42:49 > 0:42:51who lots of Scottish football fans will remember.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54Des Walker, there's Peter Beardsley, Trevor Steven as well,
0:42:54 > 0:42:55who played up in Scotland too.
0:42:55 > 0:42:59Could also have had Steve Ball, Steve McMahon or Tony Dorigo.
0:42:59 > 0:43:02Very well done to anyone who got a pointless answer at home but I don't
0:43:02 > 0:43:05know if anyone got three pointless answers like Steve and Fraser did.
0:43:05 > 0:43:06Brilliant, well played, guys.
0:43:06 > 0:43:08Well, thanks once again to our winning players, Steve
0:43:08 > 0:43:12and Fraser, who go away with today's jackpot of £2,000.
0:43:12 > 0:43:14APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:43:14 > 0:43:18Join us next time when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.
0:43:18 > 0:43:20- 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
