APPLAUSE

0:00:180:00:20

Thank you very much indeed.

0:00:200:00:22

Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,

0:00:220:00:24

the show where the aim of the game is to avoid obvious answers

0:00:240:00:27

and find the obscure ones. Let's meet today's players.

0:00:270:00:30

And couple number one.

0:00:330:00:35

I'm Emma, this is Adam

0:00:350:00:36

-and we are friends and neighbours from south London.

-Couple number two.

0:00:360:00:40

My name's Tom. This is Dewi. We are mates from Cardiff.

0:00:400:00:42

-Couple number three.

-My name's Erica,

0:00:420:00:44

this is my mum, Sandra, and we're from Newcastle.

0:00:440:00:46

And finally, couple number four.

0:00:460:00:48

Hi, I'm Dave from Cumbernauld.

0:00:480:00:49

This is my son, David, from Gourock.

0:00:490:00:51

And these are today's contestants.

0:00:510:00:53

Thanks, all of you.

0:00:550:00:56

We'll get to know more about each of you throughout the show as it

0:00:560:00:59

goes along. That leaves just one more person for me to introduce.

0:00:590:01:02

He's the number-one googled celebrity in his house.

0:01:020:01:05

It's my pointless friend. It's Richard.

0:01:050:01:07

Hiya. Hi, everybody. Hiya.

0:01:070:01:10

-Afternoon.

-And to you.

-That was a fun show last time, wasn't it?

0:01:110:01:14

A good show.

0:01:140:01:15

John and Ollie somehow managed to get into the jackpot round.

0:01:150:01:18

Almost won as well, didn't they?

0:01:180:01:20

They got a one pointer in the jackpot round.

0:01:200:01:22

It was very, very close. They beat Erica and Sandra in the head-to-head.

0:01:220:01:25

Erica and Sandra, a very, very good team -

0:01:250:01:28

just to let the other three players know.

0:01:280:01:30

-Emma and Adam, nice to have neighbours on the show.

-Yeah.

0:01:300:01:34

-That's quite a nice thing, isn't it?

-It's quite rare, isn't it?

0:01:340:01:37

The last podium, Dave and David.

0:01:370:01:39

I like a man who calls his son after himself. Don't you?

0:01:390:01:42

That tells you a certain something.

0:01:420:01:44

We'll find out what it tells us as the show goes on, I'm sure.

0:01:440:01:47

Round one is the sort of one which will be just brilliant

0:01:470:01:50

for some people. Brilliant for some people at home, who'll love it.

0:01:500:01:53

And some people are just going to hate it.

0:01:530:01:56

-OK. Which am I, do you think?

-I don't think you're going to like it.

0:01:560:02:00

OK. Thanks very much indeed, Richard.

0:02:010:02:04

All of today's questions have been put to 100 people before the show

0:02:040:02:07

and our contestants are on the hunt for one of those all-important

0:02:070:02:10

pointless answers, one of the answers our 100 people couldn't get.

0:02:100:02:13

Each time that happens, we will add 250 quid to the jackpot.

0:02:130:02:17

John and Ollie didn't win the jackpot last time

0:02:170:02:19

so we add another £1,000 to that.

0:02:190:02:21

Today's jackpot starts off at £2,000.

0:02:210:02:23

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

0:02:260:02:30

OK. Now, the pair with highest score at the end of this round

0:02:330:02:36

will be eliminated.

0:02:360:02:37

Also, do remember there is to be no conferring, during the round itself.

0:02:370:02:41

Our first category today is:

0:02:410:02:43

Boxing.

0:02:450:02:46

Boxing. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first

0:02:460:02:49

and who's going to go second.

0:02:490:02:51

Whoever is going to go first, please step up to the podium.

0:02:510:02:54

OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.

0:02:560:02:58

We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many

0:02:580:03:03

world heavyweight champions as they could.

0:03:030:03:05

World heavyweight champions. Richard.

0:03:050:03:07

We are looking for the name of anyone who has been world heavyweight

0:03:070:03:11

champion from July 1921, all the way through to September 2012, please.

0:03:110:03:14

Any world heavyweight boxing champion sanctioned by the WBA,

0:03:140:03:18

the WBC, the WBO or the IBF. Those are all the big world champions.

0:03:180:03:23

From July 1921, all the way through to September 2012.

0:03:230:03:26

Very, very best of luck. Good luck at home as well

0:03:260:03:29

Thanks very much indeed, Richard.

0:03:290:03:31

Adam and Emma, you all drew lots before the show today.

0:03:310:03:33

You are going to go first. You and Emma are neighbours.

0:03:330:03:36

-Absolutely next-door neighbours or over the road...

-No, no.

0:03:360:03:39

We used to live about five minutes away from each other

0:03:390:03:41

and now we live about ten minutes away. I know Emma through Liz,

0:03:410:03:44

Emma's sister. I went to university with her.

0:03:440:03:46

That's how we actually know each other. Now we are neighbours.

0:03:460:03:49

-You knew each other first, then...

-Yes.

0:03:490:03:51

One of you recommended the area.

0:03:510:03:53

Me and my friend Liz moved to Balham and told Emma

0:03:530:03:57

she should come as well and she did.

0:03:570:03:59

-Now then, Adam, boxing.

-Yes.

-Do you follow it at all?

0:03:590:04:03

I know a couple but I don't know if they are heavyweights or not.

0:04:030:04:06

And whether or not they were champions.

0:04:060:04:09

I'm going to take a stab in the dark at Vladimir Klitschko.

0:04:090:04:12

Vladimir Klitschko. Let's see if it's right

0:04:120:04:14

and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.

0:04:140:04:17

It's right, Adam.

0:04:200:04:22

Still going down, Adam. Still going down. 5.

0:04:250:04:28

What a neighbourly gesture there, Emma.

0:04:280:04:31

-He has left you 5. This is good. Vladimir Klitschko.

-Great start.

0:04:320:04:36

I would not advise taking a stab in the dark at Vladimir Klitschko though.

0:04:360:04:40

You might end up on your back.

0:04:400:04:41

He has been world champion with different organising bodies.

0:04:410:04:45

Still world champion now.

0:04:450:04:46

Thanks very much indeed. Now, Tom, welcome to the show.

0:04:460:04:49

-Good to have you here. From Cardiff.

-That's right.

-This is great.

0:04:490:04:53

We've just had seamless Cardiff representation across these shows.

0:04:530:04:57

-Tom, what do you do?

-I work for an educational charity in Cardiff Bay.

0:04:570:05:00

We aim to engage young people and the public with science

0:05:000:05:03

-and maths, that sort of stuff.

-How's that going?

0:05:030:05:05

-Are you finding them engaged?

-It's going swimmingly.

0:05:050:05:07

For me, personally, I think they are engaged as well.

0:05:070:05:10

-How long have you been involved?

-About a year and a half.

0:05:100:05:13

And over the last year and a half, the graph goes like that.

0:05:130:05:16

I've recently been promoted and I've now got a new job there.

0:05:160:05:19

This is fantastic. Still within the same department.

0:05:190:05:22

Within the same department, behind a desk now.

0:05:220:05:24

-Less work in the field, if you like.

-Good stuff.

0:05:240:05:26

-Tom, boxing.

-Yes.

-World heavyweight champions.

0:05:260:05:30

Boxing's not the best but I'm going to have a stab at Lennox Lewis.

0:05:300:05:34

Lennox Lewis says Tom. Lennox Lewis. Let's see if that's right

0:05:340:05:38

and if it is, how many people said Lennox Lewis.

0:05:380:05:41

It's right.

0:05:430:05:45

5's our low AND high score.

0:05:450:05:48

27 for Lennox Lewis.

0:05:480:05:50

Yeah, Lewis retired as heavyweight champion in 2004.

0:05:550:05:59

Erica, welcome back to the show. Last time, what a performance.

0:05:590:06:04

Through you went to the head-to-head,

0:06:040:06:06

almost like you were on casters.

0:06:060:06:08

You knew some low scoring answers

0:06:080:06:10

and didn't quite have the pointless neck to come out with.

0:06:100:06:16

A pointless neck. I've never said that before. 650 odd shows.

0:06:160:06:19

-We were too cautious last time.

-I think you were.

0:06:190:06:22

You were playing a little bit cautiously.

0:06:220:06:24

Luckily, it's boxing now, Erica, so the time for caution is behind us.

0:06:240:06:29

I don't even know how you say it really, the guy's name.

0:06:290:06:34

Is it Evander Holyfield?

0:06:340:06:36

Evander Holyfield, you are going to say.

0:06:360:06:39

Evander Holyfield. Erica, let's see if it's right

0:06:390:06:42

and if it is, how many of our 100 people said it.

0:06:420:06:44

It's absolutely right. Very well done, Erica. 27 our high score.

0:06:470:06:51

5, our low. You passed 27 with flying colours. Nearly down to five.

0:06:510:06:54

Very well done, Erica. That's a great answer. Evander Holyfield.

0:06:540:06:58

Evander Holyfield, very good answer.

0:07:000:07:02

The only boxer to win the title four times, regained it three times.

0:07:020:07:05

-They call him the Real Deal.

-The Real Deal.

0:07:050:07:08

Because he's from Deal in Kent. That's where he was born.

0:07:080:07:11

LAUGHTER

0:07:110:07:13

-Dave. Dave, welcome. Cumbernauld.

-Yes.

0:07:130:07:16

What do you get up to in Cumbernauld, Dave?

0:07:160:07:19

Well, I've retired now. I've been retired for seven years.

0:07:190:07:22

What did you do?

0:07:220:07:23

I was senior control engineer with one of the power companies

0:07:230:07:27

-in Scotland.

-And what do you do now with your retirement?

0:07:270:07:30

Very little, actually.

0:07:300:07:31

It's a very sedentary retirement but I quite enjoy driving.

0:07:310:07:35

We have a touring caravan, so we tour around bits of this country

0:07:350:07:39

and have driven a fair bit abroad as well.

0:07:390:07:42

I do enjoy my cars and driving.

0:07:420:07:44

-OK. Do you enjoy your boxing, Dave?

-Not particularly, no.

0:07:440:07:48

-I think I will try Jack Dempsey.

-Jack Dempsey, says Dave.

0:07:480:07:53

Jack Dempsey. Let's see if that's right.

0:07:530:07:55

Let's see how many people said that.

0:07:550:07:57

It's right. So, again, 27 still our high. 5 still our low.

0:07:590:08:02

You passed 27.

0:08:020:08:05

You passed 5. 4, a new low score, Dave. Very well done indeed.

0:08:050:08:09

4 for Jack Dempsey.

0:08:090:08:11

Yeah, taking us right back, Dave.

0:08:120:08:15

He was world champion between 1919 and 1926, Jack Dempsey.

0:08:150:08:19

-The Manassa Mauler.

-The Nassa Mauler.

0:08:190:08:21

-Manassa.

-The Manassa... Where's Manassa?

0:08:210:08:25

Manassa is just east of Deal,

0:08:250:08:27

a lovely little village just near the Cinque Ports.

0:08:270:08:31

-No, it's in Colorado.

-Thank you very much indeed.

0:08:310:08:34

We are halfway through the round. Let's take a look at those scores.

0:08:340:08:37

4, the best score of that pass. Dave, very well done.

0:08:370:08:39

Then up to 5, where Adam and Emma are.

0:08:390:08:42

Up to 8 were Erica and Sandra are. And Tom and Dewi, 27.

0:08:420:08:46

I thought it was a good answer. But it was quite a high score.

0:08:460:08:49

Dewi, a low answer from you might be enough.

0:08:490:08:52

We are going to come back down the line now.

0:08:520:08:54

Can the second players please step up to the podium?

0:08:540:08:57

David, we are looking for the name of anyone who became

0:08:580:09:01

world heavyweight champion.

0:09:010:09:02

You are on 4, thanks to your father's brilliant answer there.

0:09:020:09:06

Jack Dempsey. Dave, what do you do?

0:09:060:09:08

I run my own business selling art and prints

0:09:080:09:10

through a website that I run.

0:09:100:09:12

-How long have you done that for?

-Round about four years now.

0:09:120:09:15

Would you want to have a gallery at any stage?

0:09:150:09:17

I don't think I want a gallery.

0:09:170:09:18

Galleries sell original prints, original paintings

0:09:180:09:21

and I don't think I want that.

0:09:210:09:23

A shop doing art prints and gifts and crafts

0:09:230:09:26

and things like that, yeah, I can see me doing that.

0:09:260:09:28

Sounds good. OK, well, David, you are on 4.

0:09:280:09:31

The high score is on 27, Dewi and Tom. If you can score 22 or less.

0:09:310:09:36

It's trying to decide now how you play it. It was such a good score.

0:09:360:09:40

There's a temptation to go safe but I have a name in my mind

0:09:400:09:43

and I think I'm going to go for it.

0:09:430:09:45

I'm going to go for Floyd Mayweather Jr.

0:09:450:09:48

Floyd Mayweather Jr says David. OK. Now then, it's red line time.

0:09:480:09:52

We have a target for you and there it is.

0:09:520:09:54

If you can go is below that red line, you are in Round Two.

0:09:540:09:57

Floyd Mayweather Jr.

0:09:570:09:59

Let's see if it is right and let's see how many people said it.

0:09:590:10:02

Oh, no, David. Oh, bad luck.

0:10:020:10:05

I'm sorry to say that is an incorrect answer.

0:10:050:10:08

Sounded brilliant to me but what do I know?

0:10:080:10:11

-That's scores you 100 points and takes you up to 104.

-Sorry, David.

0:10:110:10:15

One of the greatest boxers of all time, Floyd Mayweather Jr,

0:10:150:10:17

certainly one of the richest boxers of all time but not a heavyweight.

0:10:170:10:20

He's not even close to heavyweight, I'm afraid.

0:10:200:10:23

Thanks, Richard. Now then, Sandra, welcome back.

0:10:230:10:25

How happy with you with this as a round generally?

0:10:250:10:27

-I know nothing about boxing.

-OK, but didn't Erica do well there?

0:10:270:10:31

-Didn't she though? Very well.

-Didn't she do well?

-Yes.

0:10:310:10:34

Remind us what you get up to, Sandra. What occupies you?

0:10:340:10:37

I'm retired at the moment and I've never been busier in my life.

0:10:370:10:40

-What chiefly occupies you?

-I do a lot of courses. I play piano.

0:10:400:10:45

I swim. I enjoy myself thoroughly.

0:10:450:10:48

-Good stuff. Until this boxing question.

-Until this came up!

0:10:480:10:51

OK, listen, you only have to score 95 or less.

0:10:510:10:55

OK, I'll go for Mike Tyson.

0:10:550:10:58

Mike Tyson, says Sandra. Mike Tyson.

0:10:580:11:01

Here is your red line. Nice and high.

0:11:010:11:03

He doesn't have to travel far to get you into the next round.

0:11:030:11:06

Let's see if it's right. Let's see how many people said Mike Tyson.

0:11:060:11:10

It's right and you're through.

0:11:100:11:12

46. Very well done. 54 your total.

0:11:140:11:18

Very well played.

0:11:200:11:22

One of the most iconic heavyweight champions of all time.

0:11:220:11:25

I was with a guy the other day called Steve Bunce,

0:11:250:11:27

who is a boxing journalist and commentator.

0:11:270:11:30

He knows Tyson, has met a number of times.

0:11:300:11:33

He told me some stories!

0:11:330:11:35

HE GASPS

0:11:350:11:36

Just extraordinary stuff.

0:11:360:11:39

What a man.

0:11:390:11:40

What a man. Now then, Dewi. Tell us what you do, Dewi.

0:11:400:11:44

I'm a guitarist.

0:11:440:11:46

I write and perform original music

0:11:460:11:48

but at the moment doing a lot of Spanish flamenco.

0:11:480:11:52

I go around playing in fancy restaurants.

0:11:520:11:54

-So you are a classical guitarist.

-Yeah, yeah. Classical.

0:11:540:11:57

Here's a question. Do you turn up with a little stool?

0:11:570:11:59

Do you bring a stool to put your foot on?

0:11:590:12:01

No, and I think I'm probably worse off for it.

0:12:010:12:04

My arm's starting to get a weird twitch.

0:12:040:12:07

If you win the jackpot...

0:12:070:12:09

I can buy all the stools I want!

0:12:090:12:11

The jackpot's not that big and those stools aren't cheap.

0:12:110:12:14

But you could get yourself a stool, certainly.

0:12:140:12:16

-A fancy stool.

-A fancy stool to go with the fancy restaurant.

0:12:160:12:19

It would be good. OK, but first, you have to win.

0:12:190:12:22

Yeah, I don't know if it's a risk or not but he's a big guy

0:12:230:12:27

so he might be world heavyweight. Joe Frazier.

0:12:270:12:30

Joe Frazier, says Debbie.

0:12:300:12:33

Joe Frazier. There is your red line.

0:12:330:12:35

Get below that, you're in the second round.

0:12:350:12:38

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

0:12:380:12:41

It's absolutely right. And you are through. Well done, Dewi.

0:12:420:12:46

26. Not a bad score at all. Takes your total to 53. Very well done.

0:12:480:12:53

Smoking Joe Frazier, in fact, yeah. Terrific fighter.

0:12:530:12:57

Most famously lost the Thriller In Manila to someone we won't mention.

0:12:570:13:01

Thank you very much indeed. Now then. Emma.

0:13:010:13:05

Emma, you are most of the way through.

0:13:050:13:08

You are literally... 98 or less will see you step

0:13:080:13:12

into the paradise that is round two. Emma, what do you do?

0:13:120:13:16

-I'm on maternity leave at the moment.

-Congratulations.

-Thank you.

0:13:160:13:19

How much longer do you have on maternity?

0:13:190:13:21

-I have another three months left.

-That's nice.

0:13:210:13:24

And when you finish your maternity, what will you return to?

0:13:240:13:27

I'm an operations officer in the NHS.

0:13:270:13:29

So, I manage the postgraduate training of doctors and dentists.

0:13:290:13:32

-Right. How was the obstetrics on the delivery ward?

-It was superb.

0:13:320:13:38

Absolutely superb and I kept telling them who I work for and that

0:13:380:13:42

I was responsible for whether they passed the year or not.

0:13:420:13:45

-I don't think that had any impact whatsoever.

-Good, good.

0:13:450:13:48

Now, boxing, world heavyweight boxing champions.

0:13:480:13:51

It's not asking a lot. 98 or less sees you through.

0:13:510:13:56

All of the things that I could think of have gone, apart from one,

0:13:560:14:01

and it's either really obvious or it's wrong.

0:14:010:14:04

It's a famous boxer and I've no idea whether he was heavyweight.

0:14:040:14:09

He's just famous. I'm just going to go for it and cross my fingers,

0:14:090:14:13

and say Muhammad Ali.

0:14:130:14:15

Muhammad Ali, says Emma. Muhammad Ali.

0:14:150:14:17

Your red line is about to appear at the top of the column there.

0:14:170:14:21

He really does not have to travel far to get you into the second

0:14:210:14:24

round. He just has to be right.

0:14:240:14:27

Let's find out. Muhammad Ali. Is it right?

0:14:270:14:30

It's right.

0:14:320:14:33

Well done. 75.

0:14:330:14:36

It takes your total up to 80. Very well done indeed, Emma.

0:14:360:14:39

Yeah, the most famous heavyweight of all time.

0:14:390:14:42

The most famous boxer of all time. The greatest of them all.

0:14:420:14:44

Muhammad Ali. 75 points sees you safely through.

0:14:440:14:47

Let's take a look at the pointless answers

0:14:470:14:49

and I'll mention a few more as we go.

0:14:490:14:51

The South African, Gerrie Coetzee, would have been a pointless answer.

0:14:510:14:54

As would Francois Botha.

0:14:540:14:55

Hasim Rahman, who beat Lennox Lewis in a shock,

0:14:550:14:58

he was a pointless answer.

0:14:580:14:59

A Brit who won one of the versions of the title,

0:14:590:15:02

Henry Akinwande was a pointless answer.

0:15:020:15:03

Herbie Hide, who won a similar title at the same time, was three points.

0:15:030:15:07

James Bonecrusher Smith was a pointless answer -

0:15:070:15:09

that's a good nickname, isn't it?

0:15:090:15:11

Michael Moorer, first southpaw to win the title,

0:15:110:15:13

was a pointless answer. Michael Spinks was a pointless answer.

0:15:130:15:16

Leon Spinks would have given you 11 points.

0:15:160:15:18

Oliver McCall, who lost his title to Frank Bruno, was a pointless answer.

0:15:180:15:21

Bruno would have scored you 26 points.

0:15:210:15:23

Riddick Bowe, who was the undisputed champion for a while,

0:15:230:15:25

he was a pointless answer.

0:15:250:15:27

And Trevor Berbick, who beat Ali in his last ever fight,

0:15:270:15:30

he was a pointless answer. Let's take a look at the top three,

0:15:300:15:32

the ones that most of our 100 people said.

0:15:320:15:35

A couple of those will be familiar names. Lennox Lewis, 27.

0:15:350:15:39

Mike Tyson, 46,

0:15:390:15:41

and Muhammad Ali on 75.

0:15:410:15:44

Thank you very much indeed, Richard.

0:15:440:15:45

So at the end of our first round the pair heading home with a high

0:15:450:15:48

score of 104, it's David and Dave.

0:15:480:15:50

Well, what a shame to be saying goodbye to you but, David,

0:15:500:15:53

that was a good wrong answer.

0:15:530:15:54

Boxing was never going to be a strong suit for me.

0:15:540:15:57

I knew the name, I thought it sounds reasonably obscure so it was

0:15:570:15:59

worth a chance but perhaps should have played it safer.

0:15:590:16:02

Well, it all bodes well for the next time we see you.

0:16:020:16:04

We'll look forward to that very much,

0:16:040:16:05

but in the meantime thanks very much for playing. David and Dave!

0:16:050:16:08

APPLAUSE

0:16:080:16:10

But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.

0:16:100:16:13

And so three pairs remain.

0:16:180:16:19

At the end of this round, we'll be saying goodbye

0:16:190:16:21

to another pair in time for our head-to-head round.

0:16:210:16:24

Well done, everyone, we made it through!

0:16:240:16:27

Erika, Sandra, that was great. Very well done. Some good answers there.

0:16:270:16:32

Emma and Adam, of our remaining pairs, you obviously ended up with

0:16:320:16:35

the highest score overall, but you also scored, Adam, the lowest score,

0:16:350:16:40

the lowest individual score of any of our answers so very well done.

0:16:400:16:43

Very best of luck to all three pairs.

0:16:430:16:45

Our category for Round Two is:

0:16:450:16:48

Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,

0:16:500:16:52

who's going to go second.

0:16:520:16:54

Whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.

0:16:540:16:56

OK, and the question concerns:

0:16:590:17:01

On each pass we'll show you the names of six fictional

0:17:080:17:10

companies, we need you to tell us

0:17:100:17:12

the TV series in which they first appeared, please.

0:17:120:17:14

There will be 12 TV series to guess at home, very best of luck.

0:17:140:17:17

OK, thank you very much indeed,

0:17:170:17:19

so let's reveal our six fictional companies, and here they come.

0:17:190:17:22

I will read those all one last time.

0:17:340:17:36

There we are. Remember we're looking for the title of the TV

0:17:440:17:47

show in which these companies first appeared.

0:17:470:17:49

Yeah, I know a few of them.

0:17:490:17:52

There's one, I know what it relates to, I'm just not sure which version

0:17:530:17:57

of the show it was in, if that makes sense. It will when I say it.

0:17:570:18:01

Peartree Productions, I think was I Am Alan Partridge.

0:18:010:18:04

I'm Alan Partridge, you're saying.

0:18:040:18:06

OK, let's see if that's right,

0:18:060:18:08

and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said that.

0:18:080:18:11

Very well done indeed, Emma.

0:18:200:18:22

Good answer. I'm Alan Partridge.

0:18:240:18:27

3, that scores.

0:18:270:18:28

Great start, Emma, great start to the second round.

0:18:280:18:30

One of the best TV series of all time, I'd say, I'm Alan Partridge.

0:18:300:18:33

Yeah. Thanks very much indeed, Richard.

0:18:330:18:35

Now, Dewi, what about this board?

0:18:350:18:37

Is this a better round for you?

0:18:370:18:39

Much better than boxing, it is a relief.

0:18:390:18:42

I know three for definite.

0:18:420:18:43

I'd say the hard bit is thinking what the British public would know.

0:18:430:18:46

I am going to go with Sterling Cooper,

0:18:460:18:49

which I think is the advertising company in Mad Men.

0:18:490:18:54

Mad Men, says Dewi, for Sterling Cooper.

0:18:540:18:56

Let's see if that's right and how many people said Mad Men.

0:18:560:18:59

It's right.

0:19:010:19:03

7! Another good answer, another low score, Dewi. Well done.

0:19:080:19:13

Yeah, exactly right. Won Golden Globe for the best

0:19:130:19:16

television series three years in a row, Mad Men.

0:19:160:19:18

There we are. Now, Sandra. You're the last person to have this board.

0:19:180:19:22

Yes.

0:19:220:19:24

-How are you finding it, by the way?

-I know one.

-Good.

0:19:240:19:28

Ewing Oil is Dallas.

0:19:280:19:30

Wernham Hogg, I would take a wild guess and say IT Crowd,

0:19:300:19:35

but I'm not going to go for that.

0:19:350:19:37

And I'm sorry, I don't know the other two.

0:19:370:19:40

-Which one are you going to go for then?

-Ewing Oil, Dallas.

0:19:400:19:42

Ewing Oil, Dallas, says Sandra.

0:19:420:19:44

Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said Dallas.

0:19:440:19:47

It's right.

0:19:490:19:50

-84.

-Very safe!

0:19:500:19:52

Kind of safe, yes. 84 for Dallas.

0:19:560:19:58

That's a big scorer, but if it's the one you know, it's the one you know.

0:19:580:20:01

If you'd said IT Crowd for Wernham Hogg, you'd have got 100.

0:20:010:20:06

That's Reynholm Industries in IT Crowd.

0:20:060:20:09

Wernham Hogg is The Office, would have scored you 14.

0:20:090:20:11

Globelink News, do you remember that one?

0:20:110:20:14

-Is that Drop The Dead Donkey?

-Yes, would have scored you 9 points.

0:20:140:20:19

And down the bottom from the '70s,

0:20:190:20:21

Hammond Transport Services was in The Brothers.

0:20:210:20:24

Well done if you said that.

0:20:240:20:26

7 points. There are some low scorers there.

0:20:260:20:28

-The best answer on the board, I'm Alan Partridge.

-Thanks.

0:20:280:20:30

We're halfway through the round, let's take a look at those scores.

0:20:300:20:33

Well done, Emma and Adam.

0:20:330:20:34

Lovely low scoring from you, Emma, very well done indeed.

0:20:340:20:37

Then up to 7, where we find Dewi and Tom.

0:20:370:20:39

Then, I'm afraid, it's quite a journey up to 84, where we find you,

0:20:390:20:42

Sandra and Erika.

0:20:420:20:43

So, Erika, you get first use of the new board

0:20:430:20:46

so make sure you find something nice and low scoring on that

0:20:460:20:48

and maybe that will be enough to see you through, you never know.

0:20:480:20:51

We're going to come back down the line now.

0:20:510:20:53

Can the second players please step up to the podium?

0:20:530:20:55

OK, let's put six more fictional companies up on the board,

0:20:570:21:00

and here they come.

0:21:000:21:01

I will read those one last time.

0:21:130:21:14

Remember, we're looking for the title of the TV show in which these

0:21:230:21:26

companies first appeared. Erika, you're going to try

0:21:260:21:28

and find the one you think the fewest of our 100 people knew.

0:21:280:21:30

-How is that board?

-It's not great.

0:21:300:21:34

It really isn't great at all.

0:21:340:21:36

I'm going to take a risk, which we didn't do last time,

0:21:360:21:38

and I'm going to go for the fourth one, the Spacely Space Sprockets

0:21:380:21:41

-and guess that it's Futurama.

-Futurama, says Erika.

0:21:410:21:45

Futurama for Spacely Space Sprockets.

0:21:450:21:47

Let's see if that's right, and how many people said Futurama.

0:21:470:21:50

No red line for you as you're the high scorers.

0:21:500:21:52

Oh, bad luck. I'm sorry, Erika, an incorrect answer

0:21:550:21:59

scores you the maximum of 100 points, gives you a total of 184.

0:21:590:22:02

That's unlucky, Erika, but well done for taking a risk.

0:22:020:22:05

That's exactly the right thing to do. They've got a courier company

0:22:050:22:07

-on Futurama, rather than a sprocket company.

-Thanks very much. Now, Tom.

0:22:070:22:12

-Good news, you're through.

-That is good news. That is good news.

0:22:120:22:16

-How do you find the board?

-This is not a great board, I'll be honest.

0:22:160:22:20

I would have preferred the first pass.

0:22:200:22:22

I only know the one on this board,

0:22:220:22:24

that will be the third one down, Trotters Independent Trading.

0:22:240:22:29

-I'm going to have to say Only Fools And Horses.

-Only Fools And Horses.

0:22:290:22:32

Let's see how many of our 100 people said Only Fools And Horses.

0:22:320:22:35

No red line, you're already through.

0:22:350:22:37

75.

0:22:410:22:43

Takes your total up to 82.

0:22:430:22:45

Yeah, perfectly good answer, that sees you safely through.

0:22:470:22:50

The car, the three-wheeler, is in a museum in Keswick.

0:22:500:22:53

Thanks very much, Richard. Now, Adam.

0:22:530:22:56

Again, last person to have this board.

0:22:560:22:58

It is a tricky board, this one, I think.

0:22:580:23:00

It is a really tricky board so I'm pleased I don't have to score

0:23:000:23:03

-anything to get through.

-No, you don't, you don't.

0:23:030:23:05

You're through whatever you score.

0:23:050:23:07

But do you fancy having a shot at any of them?

0:23:070:23:09

The only one that I knew was Only Fools And Horses.

0:23:090:23:12

Slate Rock And Gravel Company, maybe Fraggle Rock.

0:23:120:23:14

Fenner Fashions, Ugly Betty maybe, because that's a fashion company.

0:23:140:23:18

Don't know the others at all so I will take a stab at Ugly Betty,

0:23:180:23:21

Fenner Fashions.

0:23:210:23:22

OK, Ugly Betty, Fenner Fashions, let's see if that's right,

0:23:220:23:25

let's see how many people said it.

0:23:250:23:26

No red line as you're already through.

0:23:260:23:28

An incorrect answer scores you 100 points,

0:23:320:23:34

takes your total up to 103 but you're already through

0:23:340:23:36

so it's all fine.

0:23:360:23:38

Yeah, absolutely.

0:23:380:23:39

You had to go for something

0:23:390:23:40

but Fenner Fashions actually is a '70s show,

0:23:400:23:42

it's The Rag Trade, which I know some people at home will have got.

0:23:420:23:45

Would have scored 13.

0:23:450:23:46

The Slate Rock And Gravel Company, it's not the Fraggles,

0:23:460:23:49

-do you know that one? You'll know this one.

-It is the Flintstones?

0:23:490:23:52

-It is.

-Hurray, good!

-That would have scored 18.

0:23:520:23:56

Now, Spacely Space Sprockets, not Futurama.

0:23:560:23:59

Not 1 million miles away actually, it's a futuristic animation.

0:23:590:24:02

It's The Jetsons. Would have scored 3.

0:24:020:24:05

Jupiter Mining Corporation,

0:24:050:24:06

my son will be screaming at the telly at this moment, it is Red Dwarf.

0:24:060:24:10

Would have scored 9, and Baldwin's Casuals,

0:24:100:24:13

everybody knows, I think.

0:24:130:24:15

It's Coronation Street and would've scored 50 points, big scorer.

0:24:150:24:19

So the best answer on that board is The Jetsons,

0:24:190:24:21

-well done if you said that.

-Thank you very much indeed.

0:24:210:24:24

So, at the end of our second round, I'm afraid to say it is

0:24:240:24:27

Erika and Sandra, head-to-headers you were last time.

0:24:270:24:30

This time I'm afraid it's Round Two.

0:24:300:24:32

It's been brilliant having you on the show.

0:24:320:24:34

I'm sorry, that was a really... They were quite tough, those.

0:24:340:24:37

Did it help? Did you know any once you were nudged?

0:24:370:24:41

-When the answer went up on the board?

-No!

-No.

0:24:410:24:43

Well, that's OK, I mean maybe that's a relief.

0:24:430:24:45

Anyway, it's been lovely having you on both shows.

0:24:450:24:47

Thank you for playing, Erika and Sandra.

0:24:470:24:50

APPLAUSE

0:24:500:24:52

But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for the head-to-head.

0:24:520:24:55

Congratulations, Dewi and Tom, Emma and Adam,

0:25:000:25:02

you're now one step closer to the final

0:25:020:25:04

and a chance to play for our jackpot,

0:25:040:25:06

which currently stands at £2,000.

0:25:060:25:08

APPLAUSE

0:25:080:25:10

Well, now we have to decide who's going to play for that money, go

0:25:100:25:13

through to the final, and to do that you're now going to go head-to-head.

0:25:130:25:17

The difference is that now you're allowed to confer

0:25:170:25:19

before you give your answers and the first pair to win two

0:25:190:25:21

questions will be playing for the jackpot.

0:25:210:25:23

Well done, Dewi and Tom, lovely low scoring,

0:25:230:25:26

nice consistent low scoring across the rounds.

0:25:260:25:29

But Emma and Adam, in the first round, Adam, you gave the lowest

0:25:290:25:32

scoring answer, and in the second round, Emma, you gave the lowest

0:25:320:25:35

scoring answer so now you can confer,

0:25:350:25:37

maybe you'll be the low scorers. Who knows?

0:25:370:25:39

Either way, I think this is going to be very close, very exciting.

0:25:390:25:42

Let's play the head-to-head.

0:25:420:25:43

OK, here comes your first question.

0:25:480:25:50

And it concerns:

0:25:500:25:52

We're going to show you five pictures now of famous people called Martin.

0:25:550:25:58

You just have to give the most obscure answer.

0:25:580:26:00

We're going to need first name and surname.

0:26:000:26:02

LAUGHTER

0:26:020:26:03

Thanks very much indeed.

0:26:030:26:06

OK, let's reveal our five famous Martins, and here they come.

0:26:060:26:09

There we are, five famous Martins.

0:26:300:26:32

Dewi and Tom, you've played best throughout the show so far

0:26:320:26:35

so you'll go first.

0:26:350:26:36

Well, I know two.

0:26:380:26:40

THEY WHISPER

0:26:400:26:43

-Yes, he's going to be better than D.

-Oh, yeah.

0:26:430:26:46

We only know two of them, C and D.

0:26:460:26:50

We've got a feeling D will be the higher

0:26:500:26:52

so we're going to say C is Martin Scorsese.

0:26:520:26:56

Martin Scorsese, say Dewi and Tom. Martin Scorsese.

0:26:560:27:00

Now then, Emma and Adam, do you fancy talking us

0:27:000:27:02

-through the rest of the board?

-If only we could. Erm...

0:27:020:27:06

Don't know A or E at all.

0:27:060:27:08

We knew C, and I think B might be a Northern Irish politician

0:27:080:27:14

of some kind. I've got it in my head but I can't access that information

0:27:140:27:18

so I'm going to go...we're going to go for D...

0:27:180:27:21

is Martin Luther King Jr.

0:27:210:27:23

Martin Luther King. So we have Martin Scorsese,

0:27:230:27:26

we have Martin Luther King.

0:27:260:27:28

Dewi and Tom, you think the one you went for, Martin Scorsese,

0:27:280:27:32

will be the lowest scorer.

0:27:320:27:33

Let's find out. Is it Martin Scorsese?

0:27:330:27:36

It's right.

0:27:380:27:40

25.

0:27:440:27:46

25. Now, Emma and Adam, you've said Martin Luther King for D.

0:27:480:27:54

Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said it.

0:27:540:27:57

Was Martin Scorsese the right one for Dewi and Tom to have gone for?

0:27:570:28:00

It's right.

0:28:030:28:04

There's your answer. Yes, it was.

0:28:040:28:06

Dewi and Tom, very well done indeed.

0:28:060:28:08

After one question, you're up 1-0.

0:28:080:28:11

Yes, a pleasingly high score for Martin Luther King that, isn't it?

0:28:110:28:14

Not pleasing for Emma and Adam, but you know what I mean.

0:28:140:28:17

You were right that B is a Northern Irish politician,

0:28:170:28:19

currently Deputy First Minister of Northern Ireland, Martin McGuinness.

0:28:190:28:24

Would have scored you 35 points.

0:28:240:28:26

That's what you're going to look like when you're old.

0:28:260:28:28

Yeah, I've looked quite like him for a lot of my life.

0:28:280:28:30

A is... Do you know A?

0:28:300:28:33

-Martin Amis.

-Martin Amis, yep, the novelist.

0:28:330:28:35

He'd have scored you 10 points.

0:28:350:28:38

And E is the French DJ, Martin Solveig.

0:28:380:28:41

Very well done if you said that, would have scored you 2 points.

0:28:410:28:44

-Best answer on the board.

-Thanks very much indeed.

0:28:440:28:47

OK, so here comes your second question.

0:28:470:28:50

Emma and Adam, you have to win this one but you get to answer it first.

0:28:500:28:53

It concerns...

0:28:530:28:54

Just going to show you the names of five singles

0:28:590:29:01

that were hits around the Christmas period and the years

0:29:010:29:03

in which they were hits but we've left out alternate letters

0:29:030:29:06

-from each one. Can you fill them in?

-OK, thanks very much.

0:29:060:29:08

Let's reveal our five Christmas hits and here they are.

0:29:080:29:11

I will read those all one last time.

0:29:320:29:34

So there we are. Five Christmas hits. Anna and Adam, your go first.

0:29:520:29:56

THEY WHISPER

0:29:560:29:59

Number four, what's number four?

0:29:590:30:01

Erm, OK, so we think we know all of them.

0:30:060:30:09

The one we're going to go for is number four,

0:30:090:30:13

Christmas In Smurfland?

0:30:130:30:15

Christmas In Smurfland, say Emma and Adam.

0:30:150:30:19

Wow, Dewi and Thomas, beat that!

0:30:190:30:21

Do you fancy talking us through the others?

0:30:210:30:24

We know all of them except Christmas In Smurfland.

0:30:240:30:27

So from the top, it's Mr Blobby, then Merry Christmas Everyone,

0:30:270:30:33

Mistletoe And Wine, then Killing In The Name at the bottom.

0:30:330:30:37

It's going to have to be Rage Against The Machine, isn't it?

0:30:370:30:40

I think so. I think so. We'll go Killing In The Name.

0:30:400:30:43

Killing In The Name, you're going to say.

0:30:430:30:44

Emma and Adam said Christmas In Smurfland,

0:30:440:30:47

let's see if that's right and, if it is,

0:30:470:30:48

let's see how many people said it.

0:30:480:30:50

Three!

0:31:000:31:01

No arguing with that. Well spotted, Emma and Adam.

0:31:020:31:05

Dewi and Tom have gone for Killing In The Name.

0:31:050:31:07

Let's see if that's right.

0:31:070:31:08

Let's see how many people said Killing In The Name.

0:31:080:31:11

18.

0:31:200:31:22

Not a bad answer, but there was no beating Christmas In Smurfland.

0:31:230:31:26

Well done, Emma and Adam.

0:31:260:31:28

After two questions, it's even again, 1-1.

0:31:280:31:30

The best two answers up there, a good head-to-head, this.

0:31:300:31:33

Funnily enough Rage Against The Machine followed up

0:31:330:31:35

Killing In The Name with a cover version of Christmas In Smurfland!

0:31:350:31:38

Let's take a look at the scores. You're right about all of them.

0:31:380:31:41

Mr Blobby, that would have scored you 35.

0:31:410:31:45

Merry Christmas Everyone, by Shakin' Stevens,

0:31:450:31:47

that would have scored you 57,

0:31:470:31:49

and Mistletoe And Wine, by Cliff, of course,

0:31:490:31:51

would have scored you 83 points.

0:31:510:31:54

Thanks very much. Here comes your third question.

0:31:540:31:56

Whoever wins this one goes through to the final

0:31:560:31:58

and plays for that jackpot.

0:31:580:32:00

Best of luck to both pairs. It concerns:

0:32:000:32:02

Horrible Histories Figures. Richard.

0:32:040:32:07

We're going to show you five clues to historical figures

0:32:070:32:10

and the date they died. They've all been characterised playing songs

0:32:100:32:13

in the Horrible Histories series.

0:32:130:32:15

-Can you name the most obscure of these five?

-OK, thanks very much.

0:32:150:32:19

Let's reveal our five Horrible Histories figures.

0:32:190:32:22

I'll read those one last time.

0:32:460:32:48

There we are. Five famous figures from Horrible Histories.

0:33:070:33:11

Dewi and Tom, you will go first.

0:33:110:33:13

THEY WHISPER

0:33:130:33:16

-Confer with Tom, do you think first or third?

-First one.

0:33:260:33:30

I don't know if I'm pronouncing it right - Boadicea.

0:33:300:33:33

Boadicea, Boudica, you can say it how you like.

0:33:330:33:36

Well, we'll hear how Richard thinks we should say it.

0:33:360:33:39

But Boadicea, yeah. Emma and Adam.

0:33:390:33:42

Phew...um...OK, so we think we know the bottom three.

0:33:420:33:48

The Scottish nationalist is William Wallace.

0:33:480:33:51

The English naturalist is Charles Darwin.

0:33:510:33:54

And the Egyptian queen is Cleopatra.

0:33:540:33:57

The Jamaican nurse, we were talking about Florence Nightingale.

0:33:570:34:02

But I have no reason to think she would be Jamaican.

0:34:020:34:06

So let's go for William Wallace.

0:34:060:34:09

OK, you're going to say William Wallace. We have Boudica

0:34:090:34:12

and William Wallace. Dewi and Tom said Boudica.

0:34:120:34:14

Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said that.

0:34:140:34:17

57.

0:34:240:34:26

APPLAUSE

0:34:260:34:29

Emma and Adam have gone for William Wallace. Let's see

0:34:290:34:32

if that's right, let's see how many people said William Wallace.

0:34:320:34:35

Very well done, you're through.

0:34:400:34:43

27 for William Wallace.

0:34:430:34:44

APPLAUSE

0:34:440:34:47

Which means, Emma and Adam, you're through to the final, 2-1.

0:34:470:34:50

Yeah, really good head-to-head, well played, both teams.

0:34:500:34:53

We were taught Boadicea, they're taught Boudica these days.

0:34:530:34:57

The biggest scorer on the board - the Egyptian queen - Cleopatra.

0:34:570:35:01

The English naturalist was Charles Darwin.

0:35:030:35:05

I think everyone knew that.

0:35:050:35:07

Would have scored you 72.

0:35:070:35:09

The Jamaican nurse, always talked about in schools these days,

0:35:090:35:13

is amazing figure, it's Mary Seacole.

0:35:130:35:17

She would have scored you 9 points, so very well done if you said that.

0:35:170:35:20

Thanks, Richard. So the pair leaving us at the head-to-head

0:35:200:35:24

is Dewi and Tom.

0:35:240:35:26

Very strong performance but I suspected when Emma and Adam

0:35:260:35:30

got to put their heads together they were going to be unstoppable.

0:35:300:35:33

And so it has proved. But a very strong head-to-head.

0:35:330:35:37

We'll look forward to seeing you again next time. Dewi and Tom,

0:35:370:35:40

thanks very much for playing meantime.

0:35:400:35:42

APPLAUSE

0:35:420:35:44

But for Emma and Adam it's now time for our Pointless final.

0:35:440:35:47

APPLAUSE

0:35:470:35:51

Congratulations, Emma and Adam, you fought off all the competition

0:35:510:35:54

and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.

0:35:540:35:57

You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot

0:36:030:36:06

which stands at...£2,000.

0:36:060:36:09

I remember at the start of today's show you were on the first podium

0:36:120:36:16

and I said it's always tough on the first podium. And you said,

0:36:160:36:19

"You're making me nervous now."

0:36:190:36:20

And you dispatched all your opponents,

0:36:200:36:23

starting on podium four with Dave and David.

0:36:230:36:25

Then we had Sandra and Erica...

0:36:250:36:26

And then we had Tom and Dewi but you've seen them off

0:36:260:36:29

in a very systematic way. Very neat, I have to say.

0:36:290:36:32

-What would you like to see come up in this last round?

-Maybe movies.

0:36:320:36:36

-OK.

-Maybe music.

0:36:360:36:39

OK, well, best of luck.

0:36:390:36:41

You get to choose your category from four options. And here they are.

0:36:410:36:44

-Have to be....

-Bestselling Albums?

-Yeah, has to be.

0:36:530:36:56

Bestselling Albums it is, OK.

0:36:560:36:58

OK, we're going to ask you questions about three of the top 20

0:36:580:37:01

bestselling albums of all time in the UK.

0:37:010:37:04

We are looking for any track from the original release of Brothers In Arms

0:37:040:37:08

by Dire Straits.

0:37:080:37:09

We're looking for any track from the original release of Urban Hymns

0:37:090:37:12

by The Verve.

0:37:120:37:13

Or we're looking for any tracks on the original release of

0:37:130:37:16

The Immaculate Collection by Madonna.

0:37:160:37:18

So any of the tracks on the initial releases

0:37:180:37:21

of any of those three albums. Very, very best of luck.

0:37:210:37:24

Thanks very much indeed. You've got up to one minute to come up

0:37:240:37:27

with three answers to win that jackpot.

0:37:270:37:30

All you have to do is find just one pointless answer.

0:37:300:37:32

Remember, the answers can come from any of these categories.

0:37:320:37:35

And how you spread them across the categories is entirely up to you.

0:37:350:37:38

Could be one from each, two from one, or all three from one,

0:37:380:37:41

if you like. Are you ready?

0:37:410:37:43

-Yep.

-Yeah.

-OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock. Your time starts now.

0:37:430:37:49

-Urban Hymns?

-I don't know it at all.

0:37:490:37:51

-That's The verve.

-I know, but...

0:37:510:37:54

-Sorry?

-Bittersweet Symphony.

0:37:540:37:56

-Yeah, but that's really obvious and Drugs Don't Work.

-Yeah.

0:37:560:38:00

Do you know any Brothers In Arms?

0:38:000:38:01

Again, it's kind of somewhere in my mind...

0:38:010:38:04

-I'm thinking Immaculate Collection.

-OK, Lucky Star?

0:38:040:38:06

Yeah, Lucky Star's a good one.

0:38:060:38:08

-Um...

-Trying to think of not obvious ones.

-Yeah, they're quite obvious.

0:38:080:38:13

-Ray Of Light?

-No, that's later.

0:38:130:38:16

-When was the Immaculate Collection then?

-'80s?

-OK, so Material Girl.

0:38:160:38:21

Too obvious?

0:38:210:38:23

Erm...Holiday?

0:38:230:38:26

-Yes, definitely on there.

-Uh...

0:38:260:38:28

-Struggling to think.

-Yeah, I'm just thinking, like, Vogue and...

0:38:300:38:34

What was that one, um...

0:38:340:38:35

I can't think of it.

0:38:370:38:38

Ten seconds left.

0:38:380:38:40

OK, so shall we go for Lucky Star, Holiday and Material Girl?

0:38:400:38:43

-Not Material Girl.

-OK.

0:38:460:38:48

-Go for Vogue?

-Really? OK.

-OK, that's your time up.

0:38:480:38:50

I now need your three answers.

0:38:500:38:53

OK, we're going to go all for Immaculate Collection.

0:38:530:38:56

-OK.

-We're going to say Lucky Star.

0:38:560:38:59

-Vogue. And...

-Holiday.

-Holiday.

0:38:590:39:03

Of those three, which would you say was most likely to be pointless?

0:39:030:39:06

-Probably Lucky Star.

-Lucky Star.

-Lucky Star we'll put last.

0:39:060:39:10

-Which is your least likely?

-Holiday, I think.

0:39:100:39:12

-Vogue.

-Can't remember what we said now!

-So Vogue.

0:39:120:39:17

Let's pop those up on the board in that order. Here they are...

0:39:170:39:19

Very, very best of luck.

0:39:220:39:24

Your first answer was Vogue.

0:39:240:39:27

This is the one you decided was least likely to be pointless.

0:39:270:39:30

Remember, only one of them has to be pointless to win that jackpot.

0:39:300:39:33

If you were to win in, what would you do with your split, Emma?

0:39:330:39:38

Well, I've just bought a house. I've exchanged contracts today.

0:39:380:39:42

So I would probably use it to buy some furniture.

0:39:420:39:46

-Always useful.

-Yeah, yeah, yeah.

-Adam, how about you?

0:39:460:39:49

Nothing as productive as that, I'd probably go on holiday,

0:39:490:39:52

maybe to Vegas or New York.

0:39:520:39:53

OK, well, very best of luck. Vogue, your least confident answer.

0:39:530:39:58

Has to be correct, then it has to be pointless for you to win.

0:39:580:40:00

So for £2,000, let's see how many of 100 people said Vogue.

0:40:000:40:04

It's right.

0:40:070:40:08

14.

0:40:170:40:19

APPLAUSE

0:40:190:40:22

14 for Vogue.

0:40:220:40:23

So, not a pointless answer.

0:40:230:40:25

You only have two more shots at today's jackpot.

0:40:250:40:27

Your next answer was Holiday.

0:40:270:40:30

Again, this from the Immaculate Collection album.

0:40:300:40:33

It has to be correct then it has to be pointless for you to win,

0:40:330:40:36

so let's find out how many people said Holiday.

0:40:360:40:40

Well, it's right.

0:40:420:40:44

Your first answer, Vogue, took us down to 14.

0:40:440:40:48

Your second answer, Holiday,

0:40:480:40:50

is now taking us down through the teens...

0:40:500:40:53

15.

0:40:530:40:54

APPLAUSE

0:40:540:40:57

OK, so again not pointless.

0:40:570:40:58

Only one more chance to win today's jackpot.

0:40:580:41:01

Everything is now riding on your third and final answer, Lucky Star.

0:41:010:41:04

This, you thought, was probably your best shot at a pointless answer.

0:41:040:41:08

Let's find out. Has to pointless to win that jackpot.

0:41:080:41:11

For £2,000, how many people said Lucky Star?

0:41:110:41:15

Well, that's three correct answers.

0:41:170:41:20

Your first answer, Vogue, took us down to 14.

0:41:200:41:23

Your second answer, Holiday, took us down to 15.

0:41:230:41:25

Well, you've passed both of those with Lucky Star...

0:41:250:41:28

3!

0:41:280:41:30

APPLAUSE

0:41:300:41:35

You definitely put the right one last.

0:41:350:41:37

Unfortunately, you didn't manage to find that pointless answer,

0:41:370:41:40

which means you don't win today's jackpot of £2,000.

0:41:400:41:42

That rolls over onto the next show.

0:41:420:41:44

But we've really enjoyed having you on the show.

0:41:440:41:46

You've done fantastically well throughout the show,

0:41:460:41:48

and you do get to take home a Pointless trophy each, so well done.

0:41:480:41:51

APPLAUSE

0:41:510:41:56

Very well played. Good to have three correct answers

0:41:560:41:58

and there's definitely some pointless answers on that Madonna album

0:41:580:42:01

that you'll know. The Dire Straits ones first,

0:42:010:42:04

this is the one that our 100 people did the best on.

0:42:040:42:07

So Far Away is the opening track on Brothers In Arms.

0:42:070:42:10

Your Latest Trick was released as a single. Both of those pointless.

0:42:100:42:13

For The Verve...

0:42:130:42:15

You also could have had Catching The Butterfly, Neon Wilderness,

0:42:190:42:22

and Weeping Willow. Very well done if you said any of those.

0:42:220:42:25

And Madonna...

0:42:250:42:27

Rescue Me also a pointless answer.

0:42:330:42:35

Very well done if you got any of those at home.

0:42:350:42:37

If you'd had a couple of minutes you would have got one of those,

0:42:370:42:40

wouldn't you? Material Girl would have scored you 2 points.

0:42:400:42:43

-Would actually have been your best answer.

-Thanks, Richard.

0:42:430:42:47

Well, we have to say goodbye to you, but it's been great having you

0:42:470:42:50

on the show. Thank you both so much for playing and playing so well.

Sadly, Emma and Adam didn't win our jackpot, which means it rolls over

0:42:550:42:59

onto the next show when we will be playing for...

0:42:590:43:01

Join us next time to see if someone can win in.

0:43:040:43:06

-Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...

-Goodbye.

0:43:060:43:08

..and it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
