0:00:19 > 0:00:20APPLAUSE
0:00:20 > 0:00:22Thank you very much indeed. Hello,
0:00:22 > 0:00:24I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:24 > 0:00:27the show that makes big winners out of the lowest scorers.
0:00:27 > 0:00:28Let's meet today's players.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34And couple number one?
0:00:34 > 0:00:37Hello, I'm Lisa and this is Sarah, my boyfriend's sister,
0:00:37 > 0:00:39- and we are from Surrey. - Couple number two.
0:00:39 > 0:00:43Hello, I'm Sharron and this is Alan, my golf-club captain,
0:00:43 > 0:00:44and we are from Staffordshire.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47- Couple number three.- Hi, I'm Ray.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51This is my cousin Paul. Paul comes from Glasgow, I come from Liverpool.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53And finally, couple number four.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Rob, this is Kerry, and we are husband and wife from Solihull.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58These are today's contestants.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00APPLAUSE
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Thanks, all of you. We'll find out more about you
0:01:02 > 0:01:04throughout 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 > 0:01:09Brighter than a fireworks display in an exploding bulb factory,
0:01:09 > 0:01:11it's my Pointless friend.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13- It's Richard.- Hiya.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15APPLAUSE Hi, everybody.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19- Afternoon to you.- Good afternoon. - How are you?
0:01:19 > 0:01:22- I'm very well, thank you, how are you?- Yeah, I'm very well indeed.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Now, you know the complaint we always get on this show.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26What complaint do we get more than any other?
0:01:26 > 0:01:28You don't even need to say it, I'll say it.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30The one complaint we get all the time,
0:01:30 > 0:01:33people stop me in the street, even if I'm on holiday abroad,
0:01:33 > 0:01:36people just like stopping me, wherever I am, even Australia,
0:01:36 > 0:01:38people have stopped me. They say,
0:01:38 > 0:01:42"You do not have enough questions on your show about Lincolnshire."
0:01:42 > 0:01:44LAUGHTER
0:01:44 > 0:01:45All day, every day.
0:01:45 > 0:01:50Round Two, we absolutely lay that to rest.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Wow, we tackle that one head on? Lincolnshire?
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Yeah, absolutely, from Spalding to Grantham, there's going to be...
0:01:56 > 0:02:00- They will be cheering in the street.- I can't wait!
0:02:00 > 0:02:03OK, well, let's get on with the game. All our questions on Pointless
0:02:03 > 0:02:05have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Our contestants here need to find the obscure answers
0:02:07 > 0:02:08those 100 people didn't get.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10Everyone is trying to find a pointless answer,
0:02:10 > 0:02:13that being an answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Each time that happens, we'll add £250 to the jackpot.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Sandra and Bartholomew didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:02:18 > 0:02:20so we add another £1,000 to that,
0:02:20 > 0:02:23so today's jackpot starts off at £2,000.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25APPLAUSE
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Right, if everyone is ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Now, remember, the pair with the highest score
0:02:33 > 0:02:35at the end of the round will be eliminated
0:02:35 > 0:02:38and also there is to be no conferring during the round itself.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41OK, our first category today is...
0:02:43 > 0:02:44Grand Slam Tennis.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Can you all decide who is going to go first
0:02:46 > 0:02:48and who is going to go second?
0:02:48 > 0:02:51And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00We give 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:03:03 > 0:03:04..as they could.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08Players who have won five or more Grand Slam tennis titles, Richard?
0:03:08 > 0:03:11We're looking for anyone who has won five or more singles titles
0:03:11 > 0:03:16at Grand Slam tournaments, all the way up from 1924, up to 2013, please.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19So, anyone who has one five or more Grand Slam titles in singles,
0:03:19 > 0:03:22from 1924, all the way up to 2013. Very best of luck.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Thanks very much. Sarah and Lisa, you all drew lots before the show
0:03:25 > 0:03:27and today you are going to go first. Sarah, welcome to Pointless.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30- Good to have you.- Thank you. - Where have you come from?
0:03:30 > 0:03:32- I'm from Epsom in Surrey. - And what do you do there?
0:03:32 > 0:03:34I run my own business.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37We decorate venues for weddings and parties.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39The best kind of decoration!
0:03:39 > 0:03:42- Do you have to go and pick up the bits the next day as well?- Yes.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45Ah, that's the worst kind of decoration!
0:03:45 > 0:03:47But what sort of things do you do?
0:03:47 > 0:03:51Centrepieces for tables, chair covers, we do balloon decorations...
0:03:51 > 0:03:54That's fun. Right, now, Sarah, there we are.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58- Tennis, do you follow tennis? - I follow Wimbledon.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02- I don't really watch much of the others.- That's good enough, though.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06- That's giving you some names anyway. - It's finding one that has had five.
0:04:06 > 0:04:07Em...
0:04:08 > 0:04:11I'm going to try... Martina Navratilova.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Martina Navratilova, says Sarah. Let's see if that's right
0:04:14 > 0:04:15and, if it is, let's see
0:04:15 > 0:04:17how many of our 100 people said Martina Navratilova.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22It's absolutely right.
0:04:25 > 0:04:2729.
0:04:27 > 0:04:28APPLAUSE
0:04:28 > 0:04:30- Not bad.- Not bad.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Yes, she won 18 Grand Slam titles, Martina,
0:04:34 > 0:04:37including nine Wimbledons. She's also written some thrillers.
0:04:37 > 0:04:42- I didn't know that.- Yeah, she wrote The Total Zone. That's one of hers.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46- She wrote Breaking Point, she wrote Killer Instinct.- Wow!
0:04:46 > 0:04:48I'm surprised she didn't go for Grand Slam.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50- That'd be a good name.- That would be good, wouldn't it?- Yeah.
0:04:50 > 0:04:55- Death Point.- Death Point? - That would be good.- Yeah.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58- Yeah.- Advantage Death.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01- That's good. That is...- That's good. - That's not bad at all.
0:05:01 > 0:05:06- New Death Please.- New Death... Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08- Now, Sharron.- Hello. - Welcome back.- Thank you.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Now, you were saying you've just been moving house?
0:05:11 > 0:05:13- Yes.- You poor thing! Have you finished it, though?
0:05:13 > 0:05:16- Is that all packed...?- We move in five days' time, hopefully.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Wow. So, your house is just full of cardboard boxes now?
0:05:20 > 0:05:25- It certainly is.- Well, listen, here to distract you is some tennis.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28- Are you good at tennis? Is that something that occupies you?- No.
0:05:28 > 0:05:33- I do watch Wimbledon, but I don't follow it religiously.- Right, OK.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39- I'm going to see Jimmy Connors. - Jimmy Connors, says Sharron.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Let's see if that's right and, if it is,
0:05:41 > 0:05:43let's see how many of our 100 people said Jimmy Connors.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54APPLAUSE
0:05:54 > 0:05:5612, very well done, Sharron. Good answer.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03I'd say that's a very good answer, Sharron, Jimmy Connors.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Yeah, eight major titles for Jimmy Connors, eight Grand Slam titles.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Two Wimbledons, world number one for 160 consecutive weeks.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12Jimmy Connors.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15- Thanks very much.- Guess how many thrillers Jimmy Connors has written?
0:06:15 > 0:06:18- Seven.- He's written none at all. - No?
0:06:18 > 0:06:21Which is a shame because he's got lots of titles now that he could use.
0:06:21 > 0:06:22Yeah. Millions.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Jimmy Connors' Strawberries And Death.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27That's really good.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30Mind, it is criminal, innit, the price they charge!
0:06:30 > 0:06:34Am I right, guv? Anyway, where did you say you want to go?
0:06:34 > 0:06:35ALEXANDER LAUGHS
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Paul, welcome to Pointless. Good to have you here.
0:06:38 > 0:06:39What do you do, Paul?
0:06:39 > 0:06:43I'm a director of a very small company in Glasgow,
0:06:43 > 0:06:46- importing and distribution. - What do you import and distribute?
0:06:46 > 0:06:50Well, everything from cold-weather clothing to artificial grass.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Just about anything anybody wants, we'll get it.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Do you do clothing made of artificial grass?
0:06:54 > 0:06:58Not yet. It's a good idea. I might actually give that a try, yes.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02- A really good idea. Or grass made out of artificial clothing.- Yeah, yeah.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06- That's even better!- Can I just write this down?- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09Good stuff. Well, tennis? It couldn't be a better first round.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Get through this round, Lincolnshire!
0:07:11 > 0:07:12LAUGHTER
0:07:12 > 0:07:16- I'm looking forward to that, yes. Tennis isn't good for me.- OK.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19- But I'll say Billie Jean King. - Billie Jean King, says Paul.
0:07:19 > 0:07:20Let's see if that's right
0:07:20 > 0:07:23and how many of our 100 people said Billie Jean King.
0:07:25 > 0:07:26It's right.
0:07:31 > 0:07:3222.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34APPLAUSE
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Yeah, the brilliant Billie Jean King. Good answer.
0:07:39 > 0:07:4112 Grand Slam titles for her.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44In 1971, became the first female athlete in history
0:07:44 > 0:07:46to earn over 100,000 in a single year.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50She also wrote the well-known thriller...
0:07:50 > 0:07:53The All-England Tennis And Death Club.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55LAUGHTER
0:07:55 > 0:07:59Thanks, Richard. Rob, welcome back. Welcome back to Pointless.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Now, last time, head-to-headers, you were.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03- Lowest-scoring pair, in fact.- Yes.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06- What happened?- Well, we had...
0:08:06 > 0:08:09We had a choice of answers and we just went for the wrong one.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12We went for the one that we thought would be lower
0:08:12 > 0:08:14and it turned out not to be, unfortunately.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18- Anyway, Rob, tennis, though. It's all great! This is good!- Hopefully.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21I can think of loads of tennis players, it's just trying to think
0:08:21 > 0:08:25of the one that's obviously low, but also has five Grand Slam titles.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27That's the problem.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29So, I'm going to go for...
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Ivan Lendl.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Ivan Lendl, says Rob.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Ivan Lendl. Let's see if that's right
0:08:35 > 0:08:37and, if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:08:47 > 0:08:499! Well done! Best score so far, Rob.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51APPLAUSE
0:08:51 > 0:08:539 for Ivan Lendl.
0:08:53 > 0:08:58Yeah, eight Grand Slam titles for Ivan Lendl. Now a coach, of course.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01- And part-time author. - He is a part-time author, yeah.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Yeah, I quite enjoyed...
0:09:04 > 0:09:07- Quiet Please...Urgh! - LAUGHTER
0:09:07 > 0:09:10I thought that was... It had its moments.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Yeah, one of your favourites, wasn't it?
0:09:12 > 0:09:13Yeah, we're halfway through the round.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16Let's look at the scores. 9, the best score, Rob, well done.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Rob and Kerry looking extremely strong over there.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Then up to 12, where we find Sharron and Alan.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Up to 22, where we find Paul and Ray.
0:09:23 > 0:09:2629, Sarah and Lisa, so, Lisa, you have a job to do.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Best of luck with that. We'll come back down the line now.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:09:32 > 0:09:37OK, now, Kerry, welcome back. Now, Kerry, remind us what you do.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40I'm a music teacher for preschool children.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43- And what do you like doing in your spare time, Kerry?- I like to...
0:09:43 > 0:09:46Well, we've got a two-year-old, so spare time...
0:09:46 > 0:09:50There's not a lot of it, but when I do get spare time, I like to dance.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53Er, I like to read when I can.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Unfortunately, I don't watch tennis.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58- That's what I was... I was going to bring that up.- No.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00- That's tricky.- Yeah.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02- Right.- Yeah, it's not great.
0:10:02 > 0:10:03So, Rob's nice low score
0:10:03 > 0:10:05- could be all for naught. - Could be undone here.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09- It could be, yeah. - Kerry, what are you going to go for?
0:10:09 > 0:10:12- I'm going to go for Lindsay Davenport.- Lindsay Davenport.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14- Listen, Rob is nodding. - OK, that's good!
0:10:14 > 0:10:16- But he's nodding with this look on.- OK.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18I'm not sure about that, but the nod is good.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20- An I'm-not-sure face. - Lindsay Davenport.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Listen, there's your red line, Kerry, let's see
0:10:22 > 0:10:25if you can get below that with Lindsay Davenport.
0:10:28 > 0:10:29Oh, no!
0:10:29 > 0:10:34- Oh, no! I thought Rob's nod was an endorsement there.- Me too!
0:10:34 > 0:10:36- Rob knows nothing! - I know, I keep saying this.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38I'm afraid that is an incorrect answer
0:10:38 > 0:10:41and scores you the maximum of 100 points. I'm sorry, Kerry.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44- That takes you to 109. - Really sorry, Kerry.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46A really properly good guess and a nice answer.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49Three Grand Slam titles she has won, Lindsay Davenport.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52She... Well, you know, she makes a lot of money.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56She spends a lot of her time writing, so it's difficult for her to...
0:10:57 > 0:10:58She wrote Deuce Of Death.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01- ALEXANDER LAUGHS - Yeah.- That was hers.
0:11:01 > 0:11:05Thanks very much. Ray, welcome to the show.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07- Ray, you are from Liverpool.- I am.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11- What do you get up to in Liverpool, Ray?- Well, I play tennis.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13- APPRECIATIVE MURMURING - Do you now?
0:11:13 > 0:11:16Yes, I know. I think it deserved that.
0:11:16 > 0:11:17LAUGHTER
0:11:17 > 0:11:21- Hmmm! Sorry, mine was a bit late. - I also do some voluntary work.
0:11:21 > 0:11:25- I am retired, so I have the time.- Yes.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27I do some research into my ancestry.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30How far back have you managed to go with that?
0:11:30 > 0:11:35Great-great-grandparents, to Lithuania in the early 19th century.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Good stuff, OK.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41So, between playing tennis and your voluntary work
0:11:41 > 0:11:44and your genealogy, do you find time to follow tennis?
0:11:44 > 0:11:47- I do.- This is good. This is good news.
0:11:47 > 0:11:48Right, well, 109 is your target.
0:11:48 > 0:11:5286 or less sees you into the next round. Oh, Lincolnshire!
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Right, well, Richard said 1924 for the starting point.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57I'm going to go back to that sort of era
0:11:57 > 0:11:59and say Helen Wills Moody.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Helen Wills Moody.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05- That got an appreciative murmur, didn't it?- Yeah, well...
0:12:05 > 0:12:08That got exactly the same murmur as when you said you played tennis.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10It was identical.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13He has made it up, obviously, but still... Very exciting.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Helen Wills Moody, says Ray.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18Let's see how far down the column Ray can go with Helen Wills Moody.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20There is your red line.
0:12:21 > 0:12:22It's right! Very well done, Ray.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Do we think this is going to go all the way down to pointless?
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Yes, it is! Very well done indeed, Ray! A great answer!
0:12:33 > 0:12:35A pointless answer, so it adds 250 quid to today's jackpot
0:12:35 > 0:12:40and takes the total up to £2,250. There we are.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Most importantly, it scores you nothing and leaves your total at 22.
0:12:43 > 0:12:44You are in Lincolnshire.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48Brilliantly done, Ray! Welcome to Pointless. That's a terrific answer.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Yeah, absolutely dominated the women's game in the '20s and '30s.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52Won 19 Grand Slam titles.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Charlie Chaplin once said the most beautiful sight
0:12:54 > 0:12:57he had ever seen was the way she moved when she played tennis.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00He was a randy old goat, wasn't he?
0:13:00 > 0:13:03LAUGHTER
0:13:03 > 0:13:08Yeah, ooh, yes. Alan, Alan. You are... Yes, there you are on 12.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12It's not a foregone conclusion, but 96 or less sees you through.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14I have a feeling you are going to be good on this.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16- You play quite a lot of golf.- Yes.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19Sharron introduced you as her golf captain.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22- What...?- Well, just captain of the golf club. It...
0:13:22 > 0:13:24- You run the whole shebang?- Exactly!
0:13:24 > 0:13:29- How many members?- 300 to 400. 400.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31- OK, and you keep them all in order?- No.- No.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33- They keep me in order! - They keep you in order.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37Well, now, there you are on 12. Do you think you can get lower than 96?
0:13:37 > 0:13:40Well, it's touch and go. I mean, I've just been...
0:13:40 > 0:13:43When you are waiting here and you have tennis going through your head
0:13:43 > 0:13:46and every name under the sun going through and then you say...
0:13:46 > 0:13:50But I'm going to play it safe, I think, with Pete Sampras.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52Pete Sampras, says Alan. I think that should do it.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55Let's see if it's right and how many people said it.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57There is your red line.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Very well done, Alan. That's all it needed to do.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02Pete Sampras, surprisingly, still going down.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Look at that, 21 for Pete Sampras!
0:14:04 > 0:14:06APPLAUSE
0:14:06 > 0:14:10That takes your total up to 33 and sees you comfortably through.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12- Very well done.- Yeah, quite a low score for Pete Sampras.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15When 100 people have to name people, they've got to keep naming them
0:14:15 > 0:14:18and naming them, they don't name all the ones they know, obviously,
0:14:18 > 0:14:21in 100 seconds, which is why the scores are lower than you'd think,
0:14:21 > 0:14:23but, yeah, one of the most successful
0:14:23 > 0:14:25male tennis players of all time, Pete Sampras.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Hitherto unpublished, interestingly.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30- He's got a few manuscripts in his drawer.- I bet he has!
0:14:30 > 0:14:32I'll bet he has! Thank you very much.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36Now, Lisa, welcome to the show. Great to have you here.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39- And you go out with Sarah's brother? - I do indeed.- What's his name?
0:14:39 > 0:14:44- His name is Rob.- Is he here?- Sadly, he couldn't make it today. No.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47- He's at work. - And what do you do, Lisa?
0:14:47 > 0:14:48I am in advertising
0:14:48 > 0:14:50and I am a theatre and arts advertising manager.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53- That's fun. Theatre and arts, for a newspaper?- That's right, yes.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56- You do all the sort of... I see.- Yes, yes.- Brilliant.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58OK, well, tennis, is that good?
0:14:58 > 0:15:02- Well, I was a ball girl in the late '90s.- Where?
0:15:02 > 0:15:05- At Stella Artois, which is now Queen's Club.- Yeah, yeah!
0:15:05 > 0:15:10So, again, I have lots in my mind, but which one to go for?
0:15:10 > 0:15:12Can I just quickly ask, how long are you drilled for?
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Because they are SO good - the ball boys and girls
0:15:14 > 0:15:16do the most incredible job
0:15:16 > 0:15:18and when there are sort of new balls, it's like ballet.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Yeah, there is a lot behind it.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24There is a lot of practice behind it, yes, for nine months, actually.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26Yeah, you can see that, actually. It is impressive.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Anyway, listen, there you are, 29.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32If you can score 79 or less, Lisa, you are through to the next round.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35I am going to play it relatively safe and say Andre Agassi.
0:15:35 > 0:15:39Andre Agassi, says Lisa. Let's see how many people said Andre Agassi.
0:15:39 > 0:15:40There is your red line.
0:15:41 > 0:15:42Well, it's right
0:15:42 > 0:15:44and you are through. Well done.
0:15:47 > 0:15:5017 for Andre Agassi! There we are. Well done.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55- 46 is your total. Through you go to Round Two.- Well played, Lisa.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58He is also married to another correct answer, Steffi Graf,
0:15:58 > 0:16:00who would have scored you 11 points.
0:16:00 > 0:16:01There is a few pointless answers.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04I'll go through some of the low scorers before we look
0:16:04 > 0:16:05at the pointless ones.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08You would have got three points for John Newcombe,
0:16:08 > 0:16:09two points for Margaret Court,
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Justine Henin, Evonne Goolagong, Maria Bueno.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14One point if you had said Frank Sedgman,
0:16:14 > 0:16:16Donald Budge, Doris Hart, Ken Rosewall.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18But here are the pointless answers.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Alice Marble won a lot of titles in the '30s and '40s.
0:16:22 > 0:16:23Althea Gibson.
0:16:23 > 0:16:27There is Helen Jacobs, who was a big rival to Helen Wills Moody.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30There is Helen Wills, Helen Wills Moody.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34Mats Wilander, who won a whole load of titles, but never won Wimbledon,
0:16:34 > 0:16:36which is perhaps why he is a pointless answer.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Little Mo, Maureen Connolly. I'm sure lots of people said her.
0:16:39 > 0:16:40She's a pointless answer.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43Rene Lacoste was a pointless answer.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45Roy Emerson, the Australian, as well. And Tony Trabert.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47Very well done if you said any of those.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49Let's take a look at the top answers,
0:16:49 > 0:16:51the ones that most of our 100 people said.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53We've heard one of them already.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56There is Martina Navratilova, 29 points.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Bjorn Borg, 33 points.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02And right at the top, Roger Federer, with 37 points.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Thank you, Richard. At the end of our first round,
0:17:04 > 0:17:08I'm afraid the pair heading home with their high score of 109,
0:17:08 > 0:17:09it's Kerry and Rob. I'm sorry.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11You did so well last time, so well,
0:17:11 > 0:17:13fantastic performance. This time, Round One.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17But...it was a good wrong answer, Kerry, as your man said.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19But I'm afraid it was incorrect and scores you that high...
0:17:19 > 0:17:21I thought there might have been
0:17:21 > 0:17:23another incorrect answer somewhere that might have helped you,
0:17:23 > 0:17:26but I'm afraid we have to say goodbye. Kerry and Rob,
0:17:26 > 0:17:28thanks so much for playing. Great contestants.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30APPLAUSE
0:17:30 > 0:17:34But, for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:17:37 > 0:17:42And so three pairs remain. You've seen off one of our returning pairs.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45Just Alan and Sharron remaining from the last show.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48But, yeah, Paul and Ray, an exemplary Pointless round there.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50Lovely low scoring and, Ray, a pointless answer.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52We haven't had one of those for a while.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56Listen, Lincolnshire awaits, so best of luck to all three pairs.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59Our category, as I say, for Round Two is...
0:17:59 > 0:18:01LAUGHTER
0:18:02 > 0:18:05- Famous People. It's Famous People. - But from where?
0:18:05 > 0:18:07LAUGHTER
0:18:07 > 0:18:10Can you decide who is going to go first who is going to go second?
0:18:10 > 0:18:13And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19OK, and the question concerns...
0:18:23 > 0:18:25- From Lincolnshire, Richard? - It would be good
0:18:25 > 0:18:28- if I was bluffing, wouldn't it?- Yeah. - No, we are going to give you
0:18:28 > 0:18:30descriptions of six famous people on each pass,
0:18:30 > 0:18:33all of whom were born in the historic county of Lincolnshire.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36You just need to give us the most obscure answer, please.
0:18:36 > 0:18:3912 in all to get at home. 12 Lincolnshire-born people.
0:18:39 > 0:18:40Very, very best of luck.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43So, we are looking for the famous people from Lincolnshire
0:18:43 > 0:18:47described by these clues and here is our first board of six.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09I'll read those one last time.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31There we are, six famous Lincolnshire people.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34Lincoln...shireans.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36There we are. Lisa, people from Lincolnshire.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39It's not my strongest category, possibly.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42There are quite a lot of little categories in there, though,
0:19:42 > 0:19:44- to be fair.- Yes...
0:19:44 > 0:19:46I'll be honest, there is only one that I know for certain,
0:19:46 > 0:19:48so I'm going to have to go for that.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51I think it's Jennifer Saunders who is the comedian.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54OK, you are saying Jennifer Saunders. Let's see if that's right.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56If it is, how many of our 100 people said Jennifer Saunders?
0:19:58 > 0:19:59It's right.
0:20:01 > 0:20:0271.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04APPLAUSE
0:20:04 > 0:20:08- 71 for Jennifer Saunders. - A right answer, but a big score.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10- Yeah, she was born in Sleaford. - Lovely Sleaford.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12- Sleaford, which is in...? - Lincolnshire.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15It is in Lincolnshire. Well done.
0:20:15 > 0:20:16Alan.
0:20:18 > 0:20:24Right... The priest... I think I'll leave it this time.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27And I'll go for the shot putter,
0:20:27 > 0:20:29twice winner of the World's Strongest Man, Geoff Capes.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32Geoff Capes, says Alan. Geoff Capes. Let's see if that's right and,
0:20:32 > 0:20:35if it is, how many of our 100 people said Geoff Capes.
0:20:42 > 0:20:4344!
0:20:43 > 0:20:45APPLAUSE
0:20:48 > 0:20:50Well played, Alan. Geoff Capes was born in Holbeach.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53- Do you know are Holbeach is? - In Lincolnshire.- It is, well done.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55Very good at this. You know what?
0:20:55 > 0:20:58Genuinely, Geoff Capes was in my dream last night. Isn't that weird?
0:20:58 > 0:21:01- Not doing anything... - You had that dream again?!
0:21:01 > 0:21:02LAUGHTER
0:21:02 > 0:21:05- Wow.- Nothing untoward was going on. - Was he pulling a car?
0:21:05 > 0:21:08- You know what? No, he was just kind of standing there.- Wow.
0:21:08 > 0:21:14- That's weird, isn't it?- That is weird. OK, thank you. Now, Paul.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17Paul, you're the last person to have this board.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20If you like, you can fill in all those Lincolnshire types.
0:21:20 > 0:21:24I'm afraid I couldn't. The two that I definitely knew have gone.
0:21:24 > 0:21:28The only other one I think I might know is the actor.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30Jim Broadbent.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32Jim Broadbent, says Paul. Let's see if that's right and,
0:21:32 > 0:21:36if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Jim Broadbent.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40It's absolutely right. Very well done, Paul.
0:21:45 > 0:21:479! That is a wonderful answer!
0:21:47 > 0:21:49APPLAUSE
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Well played, Paul. Nice way to finish the pass.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Yeah, he's was born in Lincoln,
0:21:56 > 0:21:59- which is in...?- I think that's in...
0:21:59 > 0:22:00Is it Northamptonshire?
0:22:00 > 0:22:03Oh, you are so close. It's Lincolnshire. Lincolnshire.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05The clue is there if you think about it. Er...
0:22:06 > 0:22:10Now, the comedy actor who plays Jeremy Usbourne...
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Is...er, Robert Webb. Sorry.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14Yes, correct answer. Would have scored you 23.
0:22:14 > 0:22:19The priest is Chad Varah. He would have scored you 5 points.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21And the first Briton to perform a spacewalk
0:22:21 > 0:22:22is a pointless answer, actually.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25Michael Foale is the answer there.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28Michael Foale. Very well done if you said that. It's a terrific answer.
0:22:28 > 0:22:29Thanks very much indeed.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32OK, so we are halfway through the round of Lincolnshire people.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34Let's see how those scores are.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37Well, Paul and Ray, once again looking very strong indeed.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39Lovely low scoring there on the far podium on 9.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Up to 44, where we find Alan and Sharron.
0:22:42 > 0:22:4571 for Lisa and Sarah. We are going to come back down the line now.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:22:50 > 0:22:54OK, let's put six more clues up on the board and here they come.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20I'll read those all one last time.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Remember, we are looking for the famous Lincolnshire people
0:23:46 > 0:23:49described by these clues, and you're going to try and keep up
0:23:49 > 0:23:53Paul's fantastic low scoring there from the first pass.
0:23:53 > 0:23:54Right, I'm going
0:23:54 > 0:23:57to go for the lyricist who collaborated with Elton John.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00- Bernie Taupin. - Bernie Taupin, says Ray.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02Let's see if it's right and how many people said it.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04There is your red line.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07It's right.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09You're in the head-to-head, very well done.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12APPLAUSE
0:24:14 > 0:24:18- 44 your total.- I love Bernie Taupin.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21The lyrics to lots of Elton's stuff are not like anybody else's lyrics,
0:24:21 > 0:24:26- are they? - OK, Sharron, you are on 44.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29The high scorers at the moment are Sarah and Lisa on 71,
0:24:29 > 0:24:32so 26 or less sees you through.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36We are by no means safe at the moment, are we?
0:24:36 > 0:24:38There's one I definitely know
0:24:38 > 0:24:41but I think it will be very high-scoring,
0:24:41 > 0:24:45so I'm going to go with the football goalkeeper, Peter Shilton.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47Peter Shilton, says Sharron.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50Peter Shilton, from '72 to '83. Let's see if that's right
0:24:50 > 0:24:53and if it is, how many people said it. There's your red line.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57Oh, bad luck. Bad luck.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer,
0:24:59 > 0:25:03scores you the maximum of 100 points and takes your total up to 144.
0:25:03 > 0:25:07Sorry. Peter Shilton had a much longer career than that, more caps,
0:25:07 > 0:25:09and was born in Leicestershire.
0:25:09 > 0:25:13OK, right, Sarah. Do you want to talk us through the board?
0:25:13 > 0:25:16- I'd love to. - Do some thinking out loud.
0:25:16 > 0:25:20I did know Bernie Taupin, and I only know two others.
0:25:20 > 0:25:25So I'm going to go with the top one, I think it is Nicholas Parsons.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Nicholas Parsons, you're going to say.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29You want to score 72 or less with Nicholas Parsons.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33There's your red line. Let's see if it's right and how many people said it.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39It's right. You're in the head-to-head. Very well done.
0:25:42 > 0:25:4419.
0:25:45 > 0:25:4819 takes your total up to a nice, round 90.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52Very good answer. Safely through.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55- Lovely, Nicholas Parsons, isn't he?- Isn't he?- Lovely man.
0:25:55 > 0:26:01Born in Grantham. He went to school with the next answer on our list.
0:26:01 > 0:26:02Went to school with Margaret Thatcher.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05She would have scored you 71 points.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08The former goalkeeper, not Shilton, another man who won
0:26:08 > 0:26:11a lot of caps at the same time as Peter Shilton, it's Ray Clements.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13I knew that.
0:26:13 > 0:26:1411 points for that.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17- The poet who wrote The Charge Of The Light Brigade...- Tennyson.- Exactly.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19Would've scored you 21.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22See, he knows when I ask the poet, not the England goalkeeper.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25- Interesting, that. - I know you, don't I?
0:26:25 > 0:26:29And the motorcycle racer, he's a TT racer who's started doing TV work,
0:26:29 > 0:26:31all of which is very good, actually. Guy Martin.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34Would've scored you two points, so very well done if you said that.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37Thanks very much indeed. So at the end of our second round,
0:26:37 > 0:26:41the pair heading home with a high score of 144 are the returning pair.
0:26:41 > 0:26:45It's like an Agatha Christie film. They're being bumped off!
0:26:46 > 0:26:49This is like something Pete Sampras would've written!
0:26:51 > 0:26:54Well, listen, it's been lovely having you on both shows.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56It was Round Two last time, it's Round Two this time.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59Sharron and Alan, I'm sorry you didn't get into the head-to-head
0:26:59 > 0:27:01on either occasion but it's been great having you.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03Thanks for playing, Sharron and Alan.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05APPLAUSE
0:27:05 > 0:27:08But for the remaining pairs, it's time for our head-to-head.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14Congratulations, Paul and Ray, Sarah and Lisa,
0:27:14 > 0:27:16you're now one step closer to the final and a chance to
0:27:16 > 0:27:20play for our jackpot, which currently stands at £2,250.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23APPLAUSE
0:27:23 > 0:27:26So it's now our job to decide who is going through to the final
0:27:26 > 0:27:28to play for that jackpot.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30To do that, you are now going to go head-to-head,
0:27:30 > 0:27:32but you're now allowed to confer before you give
0:27:32 > 0:27:35your answers, and the first pair to win two questions will be
0:27:35 > 0:27:36playing for that jackpot.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39Best of luck to both players. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42APPLAUSE
0:27:45 > 0:27:48OK, here comes your first question. And it concerns...
0:27:51 > 0:27:54Going to show you five images of famous redheads -
0:27:54 > 0:27:56you have to tell us the most obscure of these.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59Not all of them have been born in Lincolnshire.
0:28:00 > 0:28:04Let's reveal our five redheads, and here they come. We have got...
0:28:24 > 0:28:26There we are, five famous redheads.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29Now, Paul and Ray, you've played best throughout the show
0:28:29 > 0:28:31so far so you will go first.
0:28:31 > 0:28:35- Woody Allen's there.- That's too easy, isn't it?- I don't know her.
0:28:35 > 0:28:36I do know who she is but I can't...
0:28:38 > 0:28:40I think Robin Cook.
0:28:42 > 0:28:46Er, right, we'll go for B, Robin Cook.
0:28:46 > 0:28:50Robin Cook, say Paul and Ray, for B. Robin Cook.
0:28:50 > 0:28:52Now, Sarah and Lisa, do you want to talk us
0:28:52 > 0:28:54through the rest of the board?
0:28:55 > 0:29:01- We definitely know C, D and E. - I haven't got a clue about A.- No.
0:29:02 > 0:29:09- I think C is Paul Scholes, D is Woody Allen.- Shall we go for E?
0:29:09 > 0:29:10I think so.
0:29:10 > 0:29:14- E, Lily Cole.- Lily Cole. - Lily Cole, say Sarah and Lisa.
0:29:14 > 0:29:17So we have Robin Cook and Lily Cole. Paul and Ray said Robin Cook.
0:29:17 > 0:29:19Let's see if that's right and how many said it.
0:29:21 > 0:29:22It's right.
0:29:28 > 0:29:31APPLAUSE
0:29:33 > 0:29:3728 for Robin Cook. Now, Sarah and Lisa have said Lily Cole for E.
0:29:37 > 0:29:38Let's see if that's right
0:29:38 > 0:29:41and, if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Lily Cole.
0:29:47 > 0:29:49Is that going to beat Robin Cook?
0:29:49 > 0:29:50Yes it is, look at that.
0:29:50 > 0:29:51Very well done.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53APPLAUSE
0:29:55 > 0:29:59Which means, Sarah and Lisa, you've stolen it.
0:29:59 > 0:30:01After one question, you're up 1-0.
0:30:01 > 0:30:03Yeah, Lily Cole, the model.
0:30:03 > 0:30:07Got a double first-class degree in the history of art, as well, from Cambridge.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10Some going, isn't it? Let's take a look through the rest of these.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12We'll leave A for a minute, cos A is a pointless answer.
0:30:12 > 0:30:16You'll have heard of him, but I bet not many people recognise him.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18C is Paul Scholes, as you said.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21One of the greatest footballers Britain has ever produced.
0:30:21 > 0:30:24He would have scored you 41 points.
0:30:24 > 0:30:25D is Woody Allen.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28Would've been too many points as well,
0:30:28 > 0:30:31Woody Allen would've scored you 70.
0:30:31 > 0:30:36And A, he is the founder of the Church of Scientology, L Ron Hubbard.
0:30:36 > 0:30:40That's a pointless answer so very well done if you said that.
0:30:40 > 0:30:44Thanks very much indeed, Richard. So here comes your second question.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46Sarah and Lisa, you get to answer this first,
0:30:46 > 0:30:49but Paul and Ray, you have to win this one to stay in the game.
0:30:49 > 0:30:50It concerns...
0:30:53 > 0:30:54Scouts, Richard.
0:30:54 > 0:30:58We're going to show you five clues to facts about the youth movement known as the Scouts.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00Can you give us the most obscure answer?
0:31:00 > 0:31:03Thanks very much. Let's reveal our five clues, and here they come.
0:31:03 > 0:31:05We have got...
0:31:17 > 0:31:18I'll read those all one last time.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37Sarah and Lisa, you'll go first.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45We know quite a few of them -
0:31:45 > 0:31:48we're just deciding which one we think's lowest.
0:31:50 > 0:31:52- We could choose...- Yeah.
0:31:52 > 0:31:56We'll go for the device used to fasten the neckerchief.
0:31:56 > 0:31:57Think it's a woggle.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00A woggle, say Sarah and Lisa. A woggle.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03Now then, Paul and Ray, that board is yours.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05That's what we would've gone for.
0:32:06 > 0:32:08I think the adventurer, UK chief scout,
0:32:08 > 0:32:11could that be Ranulph Fiennes or someone like that?
0:32:11 > 0:32:14Cos he's an adventurer. Could be, but I couldn't be sure.
0:32:16 > 0:32:17But then I don't think...
0:32:17 > 0:32:22The one we do know is Baden-Powell, I think, is the founder,
0:32:22 > 0:32:26but I think the woggle will beat that.
0:32:26 > 0:32:30So maybe we should take a guess and go for Ranulph Fiennes.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32OK, you're going with...
0:32:32 > 0:32:37Go for Ranulph Fiennes as the adventurer named as the...
0:32:37 > 0:32:41UK's chief scout. OK, so we have woggle and we have Ranulph Fiennes.
0:32:41 > 0:32:42Sarah and Lisa have said woggle.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45Let's see if that's right and how many said it.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49It is, of course, right.
0:32:51 > 0:32:5249 for woggle.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55APPLAUSE
0:32:57 > 0:32:59Paul and Ray have gone for Ranulph Fiennes.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said that.
0:33:05 > 0:33:08Oh, bad luck. Not Ranulph Fiennes.
0:33:08 > 0:33:10Which means, Sarah and Lisa, after only two questions,
0:33:10 > 0:33:13you are through to the final 2-0.
0:33:13 > 0:33:14- Well done.- Well played.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17Woggle is one of those interesting answers on Pointless, cos I bet
0:33:17 > 0:33:20everyone thought they knew it and thought it'd be obscure,
0:33:20 > 0:33:22cos it's the sort of thing not many people know,
0:33:22 > 0:33:24but it's one of those obscure things that we all know.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27The adventurer named UK's chief scout... You'll know him.
0:33:27 > 0:33:28It's Bear Grylls.
0:33:30 > 0:33:31Would have scored you 22 points.
0:33:31 > 0:33:34And if you'd had to go for founded in this century,
0:33:34 > 0:33:36what would you have gone for? Cos it would have won you the point.
0:33:36 > 0:33:3719th century.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40It's actually formed in 1907, so the 20th century.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44That would have scored 27.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47Name of the movement's founder. You're right not to go for it.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50It wouldn't have helped you. It's Robert Baden Powell, of course.
0:33:50 > 0:33:51It would have scored 73.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54The city where the HQ is is a pointless answer.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56Very well done if you said Geneva.
0:33:59 > 0:34:00Thank you, Richard.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02So the pair leaving us in the head-to-head round...
0:34:02 > 0:34:06You've played so well throughout the show. Low score after low score.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10Then you came up against Sarah and Lisa,
0:34:10 > 0:34:12who were just unstoppable, I'm afraid, in this round.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15The good news is, Paul and Ray, we'll see you next time,
0:34:15 > 0:34:18when I'm sure you'll do as well, if not even better.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20But thanks for playing. Paul and Ray.
0:34:22 > 0:34:26But, for Sarah and Lisa, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31Congratulations, Sarah and Lisa, you've seen off all
0:34:31 > 0:34:34the competition and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:34:34 > 0:34:35Many congratulations.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43You now have a chance to win our jackpot.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46At the end of today's show, that stands at...
0:34:52 > 0:34:55Well, what twists and turns we've had today. I mean, Round Two...
0:34:55 > 0:34:57Oh, you were quite lucky.
0:34:57 > 0:35:01- Very.- Quite lucky to survive. Jennifer Saunders, a big score.
0:35:01 > 0:35:06Er, but then, in that head-to-head, 2-0. That's pretty comprehensive.
0:35:06 > 0:35:07Brilliant. Best of luck.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09You choose your category for this round.
0:35:09 > 0:35:10They are...
0:35:21 > 0:35:23- What do you think? - Got to do The Spice Girls.
0:35:23 > 0:35:24I think so, don't you?
0:35:24 > 0:35:26I think it's The Spice Girls.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28Spice Girls it is.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30OK, Spice Girls. Richard...
0:35:30 > 0:35:32We're going to give you three different options now.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34Take your answers from any of these three...
0:35:34 > 0:35:37We're looking for the names of any of The Spice Girls' children.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40So, any of their children. Not step-children.
0:35:43 > 0:35:45Any solo albums which reached the UK top 75
0:35:45 > 0:35:48by any former member of The Spice Girls.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50Or we're looking for any of the cast
0:35:50 > 0:35:52of the film Spice World.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54So, anyone, according to IMDB,
0:35:54 > 0:35:56who has a credited appearance in Spice World.
0:36:01 > 0:36:03Thanks very much.
0:36:03 > 0:36:05As always, you've got up to one minute
0:36:05 > 0:36:06to come up with three answers.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09All you need to win that jackpot - £2,250 -
0:36:09 > 0:36:12is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:36:12 > 0:36:13Remember, the answers you provide
0:36:13 > 0:36:16can come from any of the categories behind me.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19How you spread them across the categories is entirely up to you.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21They can all come from the same one, or one from each...
0:36:21 > 0:36:23Entirely down to you.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26- Are you ready?- Yes.- OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:36:26 > 0:36:28Your time starts now.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30- Do you know any albums?- No.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33I think it's got to be the children.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35I'm thinking Phoenix Chi...
0:36:35 > 0:36:37- Scarlett...- Bluebell Madonna?
0:36:37 > 0:36:39I think it's Bluebell.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41- Scarlett?- I'm sure Scarlett's one.
0:36:41 > 0:36:44- Victoria Beckham's ones will be too...- Yeah, too...
0:36:44 > 0:36:45What about the cast?
0:36:45 > 0:36:47I think Rupert Everett's in it.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50- Yes.- Is Richard E Grant in it? - As is Richard E Grant.
0:36:50 > 0:36:55- I can't think of...- It was in the '90s, wasn't it? Who... 1997.
0:36:57 > 0:37:01- They were on that bus.- Yeah, I just can't think who was on there.
0:37:01 > 0:37:05- Solo albums - Geri Halliwell... - I think Alexei Sayle might've been in it...- OK.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08- I don't know any albums... - I think we should do the children.
0:37:08 > 0:37:12I think we should do Scarlett, Phoenix Chi and Bluebell.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14OK. Let's think of more, then.
0:37:14 > 0:37:18- So...- Um... - Emma Bunton's children...
0:37:18 > 0:37:19Ten seconds left.
0:37:20 > 0:37:24Um... No. I'm sure she just had a daughter, maybe Scarlett...
0:37:24 > 0:37:28What about the one with Eddie Murphy's...?
0:37:28 > 0:37:30OK, that's your time up.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33I now need your three answers. What are you going to give me?
0:37:33 > 0:37:35- What do you think? - Let's do the children.- OK.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38- Let's do children.- We're going to give you three children.
0:37:38 > 0:37:40LAUGHTER
0:37:51 > 0:37:52Is that...
0:37:52 > 0:37:55- You know what I meant.- Is that each?
0:37:57 > 0:37:58Yes.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03And they are?
0:38:05 > 0:38:09Phoenix Chi, Bluebell and Scarlett.
0:38:10 > 0:38:12Of those three, which do you think is your best shot
0:38:12 > 0:38:14- at a pointless answer?- Scarlett.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17- Scarlett we'll put last. Your least likely?- Phoenix Chi.
0:38:17 > 0:38:19We'll put that first.
0:38:19 > 0:38:21OK, let's pop those up on the board in that order.
0:38:26 > 0:38:27All three of your answers
0:38:27 > 0:38:29are from the category of Spice Girls' Children.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32Your first answer was Phoenix, Phoenix Chi.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35You thought this was the least likely to be pointless,
0:38:35 > 0:38:38but remember, only one of them has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41Sarah, what would you do with your split of that?
0:38:41 > 0:38:43Um, well, I really like gardening.
0:38:43 > 0:38:46I've got a small greenhouse, but I'd like another little one.
0:38:46 > 0:38:49And I've seen people use those old red phone boxes
0:38:49 > 0:38:52as a small greenhouse, so I'd like to get one of those,
0:38:52 > 0:38:55but they're really expensive. So, that would...
0:38:55 > 0:38:58- go towards one of those. - OK. Lisa, how about you?
0:38:58 > 0:39:01Um, I normally go places that are warm, so I think I'd like to
0:39:01 > 0:39:05take my boyfriend somewhere cold and go and see the Northern Lights.
0:39:05 > 0:39:07Excellent. So, we were looking for Spice Girls' children.
0:39:07 > 0:39:10You've gone for Phoenix Chi. Let's see if it's right.
0:39:10 > 0:39:11Obviously, it has to be right,
0:39:11 > 0:39:14then it has to be pointless for you to win the jackpot.
0:39:14 > 0:39:17For £2,250, let's see how many people said Phoenix Chi.
0:39:19 > 0:39:21It's right.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23Now what it has to be is pointless
0:39:23 > 0:39:25and you'll leave with £2,250.
0:39:25 > 0:39:26It's going down.
0:39:29 > 0:39:30Into single figures!
0:39:30 > 0:39:318!
0:39:37 > 0:39:39But Phoenix Chi is one of those names you'll remember,
0:39:39 > 0:39:42so not a pointless answer, as it turns out.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44Only two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:39:44 > 0:39:47Let's have a look at your next answer - Bluebell.
0:39:47 > 0:39:49Again, it has to be right.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51You're pretty confident it's correct.
0:39:51 > 0:39:52- Yeah.- Fingers crossed.
0:39:52 > 0:39:57For £2,250, let's see how many of our 100 people said Bluebell.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01It's right.
0:40:01 > 0:40:05Phoenix Chi took you all the way down to 8.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07Bluebell now takes us down...
0:40:10 > 0:40:1114 for Bluebell.
0:40:14 > 0:40:15Better known that Phoenix?
0:40:17 > 0:40:20- That's gone in the wrong direction. - Yes.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22Anyway, not a pointless answer.
0:40:22 > 0:40:26So, everything is now riding on your third and final answer - Scarlett.
0:40:26 > 0:40:30You were sort of unanimous that Scarlett was your most obscure.
0:40:30 > 0:40:32I think so.
0:40:32 > 0:40:35I remember reading something and it rings a bell...
0:40:35 > 0:40:37I think it might be a younger one, as well.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39So, for the third and final time, let's find out,
0:40:39 > 0:40:42is it pointless, is it right?
0:40:42 > 0:40:44For £2,250.
0:40:47 > 0:40:49It is right.
0:40:49 > 0:40:52First answer, Phoenix, took you to 8.
0:40:52 > 0:40:55Second answer, Bluebell, took us to 14.
0:40:55 > 0:40:57You pass 14...
0:40:57 > 0:40:59You pass 8... Still going down.
0:40:59 > 0:41:00Oh, 3!
0:41:00 > 0:41:02Bad luck!
0:41:06 > 0:41:08Listen, three very good answers there.
0:41:08 > 0:41:11Nice obscure knowledge. I suppose, being Spice Girls' children,
0:41:11 > 0:41:14they're always going to be that little bit better known than you'd imagine.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17Oh, that is very close.
0:41:17 > 0:41:18- 3.- Never mind.- I'm sorry.
0:41:18 > 0:41:21Unfortunately, you didn't manage to find that all important
0:41:21 > 0:41:24pointless answer, which means you don't win today's jackpot of £2,250.
0:41:24 > 0:41:26That will roll over on to the next show.
0:41:26 > 0:41:28But it's been great having you on. You've done so well.
0:41:28 > 0:41:32- You do, of course, get to take home a Pointless trophy, so very well done.- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:41:38 > 0:41:39Yeah, well played.
0:41:39 > 0:41:42Nice category for you there, but 60 seconds not quite enough.
0:41:42 > 0:41:46There's only two pointless answers for the children. Let's take a look.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48Mel B's daughter Madison...
