0:00:17 > 0:00:18CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:21 > 0:00:22Thank you very much.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong, welcome to Pointless -
0:00:24 > 0:00:26the show where the more obscure your knowledge,
0:00:26 > 0:00:29the better your chances of winning. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:34 > 0:00:35Couple number one.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37Hello, my name is Neil, I'm from Kent.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40This is my sister-in-law Nanini... Nalini...
0:00:40 > 0:00:44- Basically, your name, with Ini on the end.- Absolutely.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Nalini. Welcome to the show.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47Couple number two.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Hi, I'm Alwyn. I'm with my wife Jane-Marie,
0:00:50 > 0:00:52and we are from Coleraine in Northern Ireland.
0:00:52 > 0:00:53Couple number three.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57My name's Dewi, this is my friend Tom. We're from Cardiff.
0:00:57 > 0:00:58And couple number four.
0:00:58 > 0:00:59My name's David, I'm from Gourock.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01This is my dad Dave from Cumbernauld.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03These are today's contestants.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05APPLAUSE
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Thanks, all of you, we'll find out more about you throughout the show.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11So that leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15His pub quiz team calls him Gandalf, because he is wise, sage,
0:01:15 > 0:01:18and when he gets angry, he often attacks people with a massive stick.
0:01:18 > 0:01:22- It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.- Hiya.
0:01:22 > 0:01:23Hi, everybody. Afternoon.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27- Good afternoon to you.- And to you.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29- What a competition we have today. - Yes.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33We've got England versus Scotland, versus Wales,
0:01:33 > 0:01:35- versus Northern Ireland.- Uh-huh.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38We're going to finally find out once and for all which is best.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40I've wanted to do this for a long time.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43I think we'll take whatever happens on this show to be definitive,
0:01:43 > 0:01:45- don't you think? - Yeah, I wouldn't want to call that.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48David and Dave, very unlucky last time. A great answer from them.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51Yeah, knocked out in the first round.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Dewi and Tom, all the way through to the Head-to-head,
0:01:54 > 0:01:56and got knocked out 2-1 in the Head-to-head as well.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59About as well as you can do without actually winning.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01- Wales, early favourites. - I'm not going to write off
0:02:01 > 0:02:03that team from Coleraine. Look at them.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05- No, they look...- Look at them!
0:02:05 > 0:02:06- Yeah, Yeah.- Hungry.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08They do look hungry.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10Sometimes, people don't eat before the show, so...
0:02:10 > 0:02:11LAUGHTER
0:02:11 > 0:02:14That'll be it. Thank you, Richard.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16As always, our questions on Pointless
0:02:16 > 0:02:18have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Our contestants need to find the obscure answers
0:02:20 > 0:02:22those 100 people didn't get.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Everyone's trying to find a Pointless answer,
0:02:24 > 0:02:26that being an answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28Each time that happens, we'll add £250 to the jackpot.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31Emma and Adam didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:02:31 > 0:02:32so we add another £1,000 to that.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Today's jackpot starts off at...
0:02:40 > 0:02:42If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Remember, the pair with the highest score will be eliminated
0:02:49 > 0:02:52and there is to be no conferring during the round itself.
0:02:52 > 0:02:53Our first category today is...
0:02:57 > 0:02:59US Geography.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:03:01 > 0:03:02who's going to go second?
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10OK, let's find out what the question is.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:03:17 > 0:03:20US states with seven or fewer letters in their name.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Yeah, it's quite complicated, this one.
0:03:23 > 0:03:28We're looking for any US state with seven or fewer letters in its name.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30LAUGHTER
0:03:30 > 0:03:34- OK, good.- Have you got your head round it?- I've...
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Luckily, I don't really have to.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38I'm going to pretend I understand that question
0:03:38 > 0:03:40and I'm going to pass it over to Neil and Nalini.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43Neil and Nalini, you all drew lots before the show.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Today, you're going to go first. Neil, welcome to the show.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48- What do you do, Neil? - I build review websites.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52Good. You build websites.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55Basically, I create websites, then I review products and services
0:03:55 > 0:03:56and write about them.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00Then people come and read the stuff that I've written about,
0:04:00 > 0:04:01click on the links,
0:04:01 > 0:04:04then I get paid a commission for sending the traffic.
0:04:04 > 0:04:05Fantastic. What do you call that job?
0:04:05 > 0:04:11- It's called affiliate marketing. - Affiliate marketing.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13I was trying to get you to say Web Master.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17I just wanted you to say, "A Web Master." Are you a Web Master?
0:04:17 > 0:04:21- I am a Web Master, yes. - Neil, there we are.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23US states, seven or fewer letters.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27I can think of some really obvious ones.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32I don't quite know whether to go for one of those and then bank
0:04:32 > 0:04:36the points, or go for the first one that popped into my had.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40I'm going to say Ohio.
0:04:40 > 0:04:41Ohio, says Neil.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of
0:04:44 > 0:04:45our 100 people said Ohio.
0:04:47 > 0:04:48It is right.
0:04:50 > 0:04:5162.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57That may not be a bad score. That may not be a bad score.
0:04:57 > 0:04:58We'll discover. 62 for Ohio.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Yeah, it's got four letters in it, so that's fewer than seven.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04That's why that's an acceptable answer.
0:05:04 > 0:05:05- Do you see?- Mmm.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Oh, you haven't quite got it, have you?
0:05:07 > 0:05:09- Nope.- No.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13Anyway, there we go. Alwyn, great to have you here from Coleraine.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16- What do you do?- I work in a survey and mapping company.
0:05:16 > 0:05:17Oh, that's fun.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20- What sort of mapping?- All sorts.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24Three-dimensional terrain models, database updates. Anything.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Fantastic. So what are your interests, Alwyn?
0:05:27 > 0:05:32I like watching sport, in particular my local football team, Coleraine.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34- How are they doing?- Not good.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Not good. They're in the Irish League, are they?
0:05:36 > 0:05:39- That's right, yeah.- OK, well, Alwyn, what are you going to go for?
0:05:39 > 0:05:42It's US states with seven or fewer letters.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46I've got a couple, but I think I'll go for Oregon.
0:05:46 > 0:05:47Oregon, says Alwyn.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Let's see if that's right, and if it is, let's see how many said Oregon.
0:05:59 > 0:06:0027. Well done.
0:06:03 > 0:06:0527 for Oregon.
0:06:05 > 0:06:06Well played, Alwyn.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Oregon, milk is the state beverage of Oregon.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13- That's good. - The state animal is the beaver.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16I'm so pleased to know both of those things.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18If you take nothing else home from this show today,
0:06:18 > 0:06:19please remember that.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22But think of their bones and their teeth and their nails.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25- Their hair must be so lustrous. - You talking about the beavers?- Yep.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29OK, well, thank you very much. That's good.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Tom, did you know that, the state beverage?
0:06:31 > 0:06:35- I didn't, actually. Now I will. - I'm never going to forget it.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39Tom, welcome back. Head-to-head last time. What was your downfall?
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Well, we rode our luck, I think.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46We didn't blow anyone away with our answers, but it was just enough.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Then when it mattered most, the luck ran out, you know?
0:06:50 > 0:06:53You're back today, though, with a vengeance.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56I think you're going to seal your place in the next round
0:06:56 > 0:06:59with a brilliant US state with seven or fewer letters.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Well, I'm going to say Maine, for my answer.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Maine. OK, the state of Maine.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Let's see if that's right and let's see how many people said Maine.
0:07:13 > 0:07:1527 our low score, 41 for Maine.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Well played, Tom. Maine is the pine tree state.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23It's where they invented the air freshener.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Really, they invented the air freshener?
0:07:25 > 0:07:28No, it's called the pine tree state cos there's lots of pine trees there.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Pine tree state, of course. Thanks, Richard.
0:07:31 > 0:07:32Dave, welcome back.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35- Where are you from, Dave? - From Cumbernauld.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37That's just a great name, Cumbernauld.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40- Not such a great place. - Not such a great place?
0:07:40 > 0:07:43No, it's won the Carbuncle Award for a few years
0:07:43 > 0:07:46- for its main town centre. - I wasn't even aware
0:07:46 > 0:07:52there was a Carbuncle Award. Cumbernauld - the Carbuncle Town.
0:07:52 > 0:07:53- That's it.- I tell you what,
0:07:53 > 0:07:55the one thing we know about Cumbernauld
0:07:55 > 0:07:57is that the state drink isn't milk.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01Dave, how are you doing on your US states of seven or fewer letters?
0:08:01 > 0:08:03I have a few in my head.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05How low-scoring they'll be, I don't know.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07I'm going to try Montana.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Montana.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12I think the closer you get to seven letters, this is my hunch,
0:08:12 > 0:08:13the lower your score.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16Let's see if that's right. Montana. How many people said that?
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Well, 27 is our low score at the moment. You pass that.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Look at that. 11.
0:08:25 > 0:08:26Very well done, Dave.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31Very well done indeed. 11 points for Montana.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Very well played on that last podium.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Loma, Montana, holds the world record
0:08:35 > 0:08:38for the biggest change in temperature in one place in one day.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40- It went from -54 degrees... - That's cold.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43- Yes.- That's chilly. That's glove weather.
0:08:43 > 0:08:49- ..up to +49 degrees.- Oh, that's quite hot.- Yeah, that's warm.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51It's interesting. In the morning, the state drink was coffee.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55By the afternoon, it was ice tea. LAUGHTER
0:08:55 > 0:08:56Thanks, Richard.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at those scores.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02We'll see that Dave and David are looking very strong at this stage.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Brilliant low-scoring there from you, Dave.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Then to 27, where we find Alwyn and Jane-Marie.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Then up to 41, Tom and Dewi.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Neil, it turns out 62 was quite a high score.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15I wasn't sure, but we now have a context. It's quite high.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Nalini, you know what you have to do.
0:09:17 > 0:09:18We can come back down the line now.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Can the second players step up to the podium?
0:09:23 > 0:09:26David, remember, we are looking for any US state
0:09:26 > 0:09:29with seven or fewer letters in its name.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32- David, where do you come from? - I'm from Gourock.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34What happens in Gourock? Not such a carbuncle?
0:09:34 > 0:09:36No, no, it's actually lovely.
0:09:36 > 0:09:41View from the window is out over the Clyde Estuary, it's hills behind it.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44- It's just a beautiful place to spend your time.- Lovely, perfect.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46David, you've had a little bit of time
0:09:46 > 0:09:49to think of a seven or fewer letters US state.
0:09:49 > 0:09:50What are you going to go for?
0:09:50 > 0:09:54Um, there's part of me that wants to go safe, but part of me
0:09:54 > 0:09:55that also wants to go for it.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Well, your father has set you up pretty well.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01If you can score 50 or less, you're through, for sure.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05I had there in my head, one of which I think is actually a city,
0:10:05 > 0:10:07but I think I know the state it's in.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09You don't get anything for being too safe,
0:10:09 > 0:10:11so I'm going to go for Georgia.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14Georgia, says David. Georgia.
0:10:14 > 0:10:15Here's your red line.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Get blow that red line and you are through to Round Two.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Let's see how many people said Georgia.
0:10:22 > 0:10:23It's right.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28And you're through. Very well done, David. That's what you had to do.
0:10:28 > 0:10:3022, it scores.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35Our second lowest score so far takes your total up to 33. Well done.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Well played, David. I bet that feels better than last time.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39It feels much better. Very relieved.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Now, Dewi, welcome back. Remind us what you do, Dewi.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45I'm a guitarist, so I do a bit of Spanish
0:10:45 > 0:10:49and a bit of my original stuff, so Welsh, I suppose.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Do you ever do any singing?
0:10:51 > 0:10:54No, I've tried it, but I go by the rule of...
0:10:54 > 0:10:58if people have paid, I won't sing.
0:10:58 > 0:10:59Yeah, OK, fair enough.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03- I like the way Tom just laughed when I asked that.- Cos he's seen it.
0:11:03 > 0:11:04OK, there you are.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08You're on 41, the high scorers are still Nalini and Neil on 62.
0:11:08 > 0:11:1020 or less gets you through.
0:11:12 > 0:11:16I'm going to go for the seven letter...Vermont.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18Vermont. Vermont. There's your red line.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22If you get below that with Vermont, you're in Round Two.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Let's see how many people said Vermont.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Very well done indeed.
0:11:36 > 0:11:3912. Takes your total to 53, sees you into Round Two.
0:11:39 > 0:11:40Well played, Dewi.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43Montpelier, Vermont, the capital, it's the only state capital
0:11:43 > 0:11:46- in the US without a McDonalds'. - Wow.- Yeah.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49Thanks very much. Jane-Marie, there you are on 27.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51What do you do, Jane-Marie?
0:11:51 > 0:11:52I'm a civil servant.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54What do you get up to when you're not doing that?
0:11:54 > 0:11:57We do a lot of pub quizzes and I sing in a choir,
0:11:57 > 0:11:59a community choir, which has just started.
0:11:59 > 0:12:00There you are on 27.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03The high scorers at the moment, Nalini and Neil on 62.
0:12:03 > 0:12:0534 or less sees you through.
0:12:07 > 0:12:08What are you thinking?
0:12:08 > 0:12:11Well, I'm devastated, because I had my fingers crossed
0:12:11 > 0:12:14nobody would say Vermont, so I'm going to say Kansas.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16Kansas, says Jane-Marie. Let's see if that's right.
0:12:16 > 0:12:17There's your red line.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Get below that, you're in Round Two.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22Let's see if Kansas can get you there.
0:12:24 > 0:12:25It's right.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Very well done indeed. 26.
0:12:33 > 0:12:3453 is your total, Jane-Marie.
0:12:36 > 0:12:37Well played, Jane-Marie.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40Their state motto is, "To the stars through difficulty."
0:12:40 > 0:12:43I wonder which stars they have in mind.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46- It's difficult to get to any star.- Yeah.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49Russ Abbot, you can get to. Get through to him.
0:12:49 > 0:12:50- He's available.- Easier than some.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53The Chuckle Brothers are very accessible.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59Thanks very much. Now, Nalini, you know the writing is on the wall.
0:12:59 > 0:13:00You're already the high scorers.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03You haven't even had a chance to give your brilliant answer.
0:13:03 > 0:13:04What do you do, Nalini?
0:13:04 > 0:13:08I'm an operations manager for a big American multinational corporation.
0:13:08 > 0:13:13- What do you get up to in your spare time?- I play bridge. Scrabble.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15I play Scrabble with my brother,
0:13:15 > 0:13:17who lives in a state with five letters,
0:13:17 > 0:13:18so I could use that one.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20You could use that one.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23Have you had lots of your better answers used already?
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Well, I've got three answers in my head.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27You can talk us through all of them, if you like.
0:13:27 > 0:13:32The five-letter one is Texas, because my brother lives in Texas.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35I thought of Arizona, and I also thought of Iowa.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39- I think I'm going to go with Iowa. - You're going to go with Iowa.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41You're going to throw out my theory
0:13:41 > 0:13:43that the nearer you get to seven letters, the lower the score.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46- I've nothing to lose. - You haven't.- Test your theory.
0:13:46 > 0:13:47Iowa it is. Let's see if Iowa's right,
0:13:47 > 0:13:49let's see how many people said that.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52No red line, I'm afraid, as you are the high scorers.
0:13:59 > 0:14:0030.
0:14:00 > 0:14:0230 takes your total up to 92.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07Yeah, Xander's theory is almost exactly perfect.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09The bottom seven all have seven letters.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Let's take a look at the best scorers. Indiana, with five.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14It looks like it's got more than seven letters. That's its problem.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16So has the next one up - Wyoming.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18It feels like it's got eight letters at least.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20That would have scored eight.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Alabama and Montana both scored 11.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Arizona would have scored you 18. It would have been a better answer.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Kansas is actually the best answer
0:14:27 > 0:14:29of all of the ones without seven letters.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31You'd have got 31 for Hawaii,
0:14:31 > 0:14:3335 for Nevada,
0:14:33 > 0:14:3637 for Idaho, 41 for Alaska.
0:14:36 > 0:14:37The top three...
0:14:38 > 0:14:41Florida, 61.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44Ohio, 62. Second-highest scorer of all, Neil.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48Right at the top, Texas. Lucky you didn't say Texas. 70 points.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52Thanks very much. At the end of our first round, I'm afraid it's Neil
0:14:52 > 0:14:55and Nalini we have to say goodbye to with their high score of 92.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59That was tough. Ohio, that was a punishing one there.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02It's been great having you on the show, we'll see you again next time,
0:15:02 > 0:15:04when I'm sure you'll go much further.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Thanks very much, Neil and Nalini.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08APPLAUSE
0:15:08 > 0:15:11But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18So three pairs remain. At the end of this round,
0:15:18 > 0:15:19we'll have to say goodbye to another pair
0:15:19 > 0:15:21just before our Head-to-head round.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23England out of the competition.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Surprising how easily that rolls off the tongue, isn't it?
0:15:26 > 0:15:28LAUGHTER
0:15:28 > 0:15:31Best of luck to all three pairs. Our category for the second round is...
0:15:35 > 0:15:37That's what I have with my egg every morning.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40Celebrity Soldiers.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:15:42 > 0:15:44who's going to go second?
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51OK, the question concerns...
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Famous people who've been in the Armed Forces.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01On each pass, we're going to give you six descriptions of famous people
0:16:01 > 0:16:03who've served in the Armed Forces either now or in the past.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05You just need to give us the most obscure answer.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08There's going to be 12 in all. 12 people to get at home.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10- Very best of luck. - Thanks very much.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12So, the famous former members of the Armed Forces
0:16:12 > 0:16:15described by these clues. Here's our first board of six.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38I'll read those one last time.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59There we are, six former members
0:16:59 > 0:17:00of the Armed Forces.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03Jane-Marie, you get to go first.
0:17:03 > 0:17:08- That's quite a challenging board, do you think?- Yes, it's challenging.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10I'm going to go with
0:17:10 > 0:17:13the left-wing singer-songwriter
0:17:13 > 0:17:15and hope that it's Billy Bragg.
0:17:15 > 0:17:16Billy Bragg, says Jane-Marie.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said Billy Bragg.
0:17:21 > 0:17:22It's quite right.
0:17:28 > 0:17:2913.
0:17:32 > 0:17:3413 for Billy Bragg.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37Yeah, he served three months in 1981 in The Queen's Royal Irish Hussars,
0:17:37 > 0:17:39before buying himself out of the Army.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44Thanks very much. Tom, how do you find this board?
0:17:45 > 0:17:47I think I'm going to take a punt
0:17:47 > 0:17:50on the second one.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52Saruman in Lord Of The Rings
0:17:52 > 0:17:53was Christopher Lee.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55Christopher Lee, says Tom.
0:17:55 > 0:17:56Let's see if that's right,
0:17:56 > 0:17:58let's see how many people said Christopher Lee.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01It's right.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Look at that. 11.
0:18:10 > 0:18:1211 for Christopher Lee.
0:18:12 > 0:18:13Well played, Tom.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15He served in various regiments in the Second World War.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18He was in the precursor to the SAS, Christopher Lee.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21He was a flight lieutenant in the RAF.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24In 1962, he was turned down a part in the film The Longest Day
0:18:24 > 0:18:27- cos they said he didn't look like a military man.- Huh!
0:18:27 > 0:18:30- He's a dude, Christopher Lee. - He is a dude.
0:18:30 > 0:18:31Thanks very much.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35Dave, you're the last person to have this board. Help yourself.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38I was going to go for the Christopher Lee one as well.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41That was the only one I was really sure about.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43I think I have to take a punt
0:18:43 > 0:18:44at the third one.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47I think it might be James Blunt.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50You're going to say James Blunt for the singer who had those hits.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52Let's see if it is James Blunt, let's see how many people said it.
0:18:54 > 0:18:55It's right.
0:18:58 > 0:19:0055. That's a high score.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05- 55 for James Blunt.- It is a high score. He was a Life Guards officer.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07Saw service in Kosovo, James Blunt.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09Let's take a look at the rest of this.
0:19:09 > 0:19:10Let's start with the bottom one -
0:19:10 > 0:19:11the British men's
0:19:11 > 0:19:13400m hurdle record holder.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15You'll know him by his laugh -
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Kriss Akabusi.
0:19:17 > 0:19:18It would have scored you five points.
0:19:18 > 0:19:19Up the top there...
0:19:19 > 0:19:21it's Heather Stanning.
0:19:21 > 0:19:22Helen Glover being the other one.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24One point for Heather Stanning.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26The last answer is a Pointless answer.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28It's a terrific book
0:19:28 > 0:19:29by Patrick Hennessey.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32Very well done if you said that.
0:19:32 > 0:19:33Thank you. We're halfway through the round,
0:19:33 > 0:19:36let's take a look at those scores. 11, well done, Tom,
0:19:36 > 0:19:40the best score of that pass. 13 for Jane-Marie and Alwyn.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Then, I'm sorry, Dave and David up there on 55.
0:19:43 > 0:19:44We can come back down the line now.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:19:49 > 0:19:52OK, let's put six more clues on the board. Here they come.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15I'll read those all one last time.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38Remember, try and find the lowest-scoring answer.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41David, you are the high scorers at the moment on 55.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45There's a couple that I feel I should know,
0:20:45 > 0:20:47but nothing that I'm actually sure of.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51I really... I'm probably going blank. I'm just going for
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Conservative party leader 2001-2003.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55I don't even know if it's right.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57I'm going to go John Major.
0:20:57 > 0:20:58John Major, says David.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03There's no red line for you, you are the high scorers.
0:21:06 > 0:21:07Oh, I'm sorry, David.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10I think you knew that was a wild stab in the dark.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12That scores you 100 points
0:21:12 > 0:21:15and it takes your total up to 155.
0:21:15 > 0:21:16Scotland will be leaving the contest.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19- The writing is on the wall, yes. - Oh, dear.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21Yeah, that's after his time.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25I knew it was, but you look for a name, it was one that came to mind.
0:21:25 > 0:21:30There we are. Dewi, how do you find the board?
0:21:30 > 0:21:32I think I know who the Conservative
0:21:32 > 0:21:34party leader was for that period,
0:21:34 > 0:21:36but I can't be certain enough.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39I think I know who presents
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Scrapheap Challenge, but...
0:21:41 > 0:21:43Is that the current presenter?
0:21:43 > 0:21:45It's the one who was once in the Armed Forces.
0:21:45 > 0:21:46Ah, that one!
0:21:48 > 0:21:50I also know the actor
0:21:50 > 0:21:51whose real name is
0:21:51 > 0:21:53Maurice Micklewhite, I think.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55OK, well, take your pick.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58It's quite hard.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00I don't know how many people watch
0:22:00 > 0:22:01Scrapheap Challenge.
0:22:01 > 0:22:02Robert Llewellyn,
0:22:02 > 0:22:04it should be pronounced.
0:22:04 > 0:22:05I think he goes by Le-welyn.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Robert Llewellyn.
0:22:07 > 0:22:08OK, Robert Llewellyn.
0:22:08 > 0:22:09Let's see if that's right.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11No red line for you as you're already through,
0:22:11 > 0:22:13but let's see how many people said Robert Llewellyn.
0:22:17 > 0:22:18Oh! After all that, Dewi.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21An incorrect answer.
0:22:21 > 0:22:22It scores you the maximum of 100 points,
0:22:22 > 0:22:24takes your total up to 111,
0:22:24 > 0:22:25but you are through.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28Yeah, Robert Llewellyn did present Scrapheap Challenge,
0:22:28 > 0:22:30but so did the other gentleman here.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33Obviously, Robert Llewellyn didn't do the Hungry Sailors.
0:22:33 > 0:22:38Alwyn, again, great news for you, you are in the Head-to-head.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Better news, this board is all yours and nobody has
0:22:41 > 0:22:43filled in any of the blanks there,
0:22:43 > 0:22:45so you can just take us through it.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48The Olympic medal winner,
0:22:48 > 0:22:50I think that might be Kelly Holmes.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54Liberal Democrat leader is Paddy Ashdown.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58Don't know the Scrapheap Challenge.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00Not sure about the Conservative party.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02I'll go for Maurice Micklewhite.
0:23:02 > 0:23:03I think that's Michael Caine.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05Michael Caine, says Alwyn. No red line for you
0:23:05 > 0:23:06as you're already through,
0:23:06 > 0:23:09but let's see how many people said Michael Caine.
0:23:16 > 0:23:1825.
0:23:18 > 0:23:2025 takes your total up to 38,
0:23:20 > 0:23:21Alwyn, well done. You're through.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24Well played, Alwyn. Did his national service in the Royal Fusiliers,
0:23:24 > 0:23:27and served in the Korean War, Michael Caine.
0:23:27 > 0:23:28Let's fill in the rest of the board.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30You did quite well there, you gave us a couple of them.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33Paddy Ashdown was the leader of the Liberal Democrats.
0:23:33 > 0:23:34He would have scored you 41.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37You were right about Kelly Holmes as well.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39She was the double gold medal winner.
0:23:39 > 0:23:40She would have scored you eight.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42The presenter of Scrapheap Challenge
0:23:42 > 0:23:44and The Hungry Sailors,
0:23:44 > 0:23:46the man with an enormously impressive moustache,
0:23:46 > 0:23:48Dick Strawbridge. Well done if you said that at home.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Three points for that.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52The Conservative party leader,
0:23:52 > 0:23:532001 to 2003.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55- Iain Duncan Smith. - Iain Duncan Smith.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57He would have scored you 18.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59The Science Fiction writer
0:23:59 > 0:24:00is Brian Aldiss.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02He's the best answer on the board,
0:24:02 > 0:24:03one point if you said that.
0:24:03 > 0:24:04Thanks very much.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07At the end of our second round, the pair who are heading home,
0:24:07 > 0:24:09with a high score of 155, it's David and Dave.
0:24:09 > 0:24:10Scotland leaving the contest.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12I'm so sorry.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15You started so well. What a great first round.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17I'm sorry to say goodbye, it's been lovely having you.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19I'm sorry we didn't get to see more of you.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22- Thanks very much for playing, David and Dave.- Thank you.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24APPLAUSE
0:24:24 > 0:24:26But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for the Head-to-head.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Congratulations, Alwyn, Jane-Marie, Dewi and Tom,
0:24:33 > 0:24:36you are now one step closer to the final and a chance to play
0:24:36 > 0:24:39for our jackpot, which currently stands at £3,000.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46Well, we've been giving away quite a lot of jackpots recently.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48We have to decide who is going to go through to the final
0:24:48 > 0:24:49and play for that money now.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51So you're going to go head-to-head.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54You're now allowed to confer before you give your answers.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57The first pair to win two questions will be going through to the final.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the Head-to-head.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07OK, here comes your first question. It concerns...
0:25:11 > 0:25:13Rolling Stones singles.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15We're going to give you five visual clues now
0:25:15 > 0:25:17which hint at the titles of Rolling Stones' singles.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19We'll also give you the year in which the single was a hit.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22Can you identify them and give us the most obscure?
0:25:22 > 0:25:26Thanks very much. So let's reveal our five Rolling Stones' singles.
0:25:26 > 0:25:27Here they are.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50There we are. Five visual clues to
0:25:50 > 0:25:51Rolling Stones' singles.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54Alwyn and Jane-Marie, you've played best throughout the show so far,
0:25:54 > 0:25:56so you will go first.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03I think we know three for sure.
0:26:03 > 0:26:04One that we might know.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08Play it safe, I think,
0:26:08 > 0:26:10and say A is Start Me Up.
0:26:10 > 0:26:14Start Me Up. Alwyn and Jane-Marie, Start Me Up.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Dewi And Tom, do you want to talk us through the rest of the board?
0:26:18 > 0:26:19B is Paint It Black,
0:26:19 > 0:26:22C would be Brown Sugar. D...
0:26:23 > 0:26:25They weren't that good in the '80s.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27I don't really know that at all.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30But E, I don't know
0:26:30 > 0:26:32who the woman is,
0:26:32 > 0:26:35but thinking of any songs with
0:26:35 > 0:26:37women's names, I'll go for Angie.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41I think Start Me Up was going to be our backup choice,
0:26:41 > 0:26:44because we think B and C are too well known.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46E, Angie.
0:26:46 > 0:26:47E, Angie, say Dewi and Tom.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49E, Angie.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51So we have Start Me Up and we have Angie.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55Alwyn and Jane-Marie played it safe and went for Start Me Up.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57Let's see how safe that was.
0:27:05 > 0:27:0717, not bad.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15Dewi and Tom have said that E is Angie.
0:27:15 > 0:27:19Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said Angie.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24It's right.
0:27:25 > 0:27:26Ooh, 45.
0:27:29 > 0:27:3245, surprising result there. Alwyn and Jane-Marie, very well done.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34After one question, you're up 1-0.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36Yeah, I think a lot of people know
0:27:36 > 0:27:38that is Anita Dobson playing Angie Watts.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40Very well-known character.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43B, you're right, was Paint It Black.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45That would have scored you 50 points.
0:27:47 > 0:27:48C is Brown Sugar.
0:27:51 > 0:27:52It would have scored you 66.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54- What do you think D is? - It's Harlem Shuffle.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56Harlem Shuffle.
0:27:56 > 0:27:57It's the right answer,
0:27:57 > 0:27:59that would have scored ten points.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01That would have been the best answer on the board.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03Thanks very much. OK, here comes your second question.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05Dewi and Tom, you get to answer it first,
0:28:05 > 0:28:07but you have to win it to stay in the game.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09Best of luck. It concerns...
0:28:12 > 0:28:15- The Ashes.- Five clues now to facts about The Ashes.
0:28:15 > 0:28:19- Can you give us the most obscure answer?- Thanks very much indeed.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21OK, so let's reveal our five clues. Here they come.
0:28:40 > 0:28:41I'll read those all one last time.
0:28:56 > 0:28:57There we are.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59Dewi and Tom, you'll go first.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13Well, my dad's a huge cricket fan,
0:29:13 > 0:29:15so hopefully, some of that's rubbed off on me.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19I'm going to go for Australian city,
0:29:19 > 0:29:20home to the WACA ground.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22I believe the W-A stand for Western Australia,
0:29:22 > 0:29:24so I'm going to say Perth.
0:29:24 > 0:29:28Perth, say Dewi and Tom. Perth for the WACA.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30Alwyn and Jane-Marie, do you want to talk us through
0:29:30 > 0:29:31the rest of the board?
0:29:31 > 0:29:34Yes, we do want to, but we can't.
0:29:34 > 0:29:35LAUGHTER
0:29:37 > 0:29:39Shane Warne's the bowler,
0:29:39 > 0:29:41but I think that'll be too popular.
0:29:42 > 0:29:46We'll take a punt on the bottom one and say it's called the Urn.
0:29:46 > 0:29:47The Urn.
0:29:47 > 0:29:49We have Perth and we have The Urn.
0:29:49 > 0:29:51Dewi and Tom said Perth.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said Perth.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56Absolutely right, of course.
0:30:02 > 0:30:04There we are, ten. Good answer, good score.
0:30:06 > 0:30:10Alwyn and Jane-Marie have taken a bit of a punt but have said
0:30:10 > 0:30:13they think it is called the urn, the small trophy that holds the Ashes.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15Let's see if that's right, the urn?
0:30:17 > 0:30:22It is right. What will it score?
0:30:22 > 0:30:2340.
0:30:25 > 0:30:29Well done, Tom. Your dad set you up there very nicely.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31- After two questions, it's 1-1. - Yeah, very well played,
0:30:31 > 0:30:34there's only one answer that would have beaten Perth.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37It's not the top one, the century is the 19th century.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39That would have scored you 26 points.
0:30:39 > 0:30:43The Australian spin bowler, you're absolutely right, was Shane Warne.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45It would have scored you too many points though, 21.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47This one would have won you the points,
0:30:47 > 0:30:50the year Michael Vaughan captained England to their first victory?
0:30:50 > 0:30:55- 2005.- 2005 is the right answer. And that would have scored 3 points.
0:30:55 > 0:30:56Thanks very much indeed.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59So, here comes your third question, this is the decider.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01Whoever wins this goes through to the final
0:31:01 > 0:31:02and plays for that jackpot.
0:31:02 > 0:31:05Best of luck to both pairs, it concerns...
0:31:07 > 0:31:09HG Wells Novels. Richard.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12We're going to show you the initials now of five novels by HG Wells
0:31:12 > 0:31:14alongside the date of which they were first published.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17Can you identify the most obscure of these? Best of luck, both teams.
0:31:17 > 0:31:18Thank you very much indeed.
0:31:18 > 0:31:22OK, let's reveal our five HG Wells novels with bits taken out.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25And here we have the initials.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28ALEXANDER READS OPTIONS
0:31:36 > 0:31:38I'll read those all one last time.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51Alwyn and Jane-Marie will go first.
0:31:51 > 0:31:55THEY CONFER QUIETLY
0:32:00 > 0:32:03This is a bit tricky for us so...
0:32:03 > 0:32:06We're going to play it safe, we only know one.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09I think it'll be the one that everyone knows
0:32:09 > 0:32:12but the bottom one is The War Of The Worlds.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15The War Of The Worlds say Alwyn and Jane-Marie.
0:32:15 > 0:32:19Now then, Dewi and Tom, it all comes down to this.
0:32:19 > 0:32:23- Talk us through that board if you can.- If only we could.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25We know the third one.
0:32:25 > 0:32:31- The Island Of Dr Maroo, Marow? - I think it's Moreau.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34And we knew The War Of The Worlds as well,
0:32:34 > 0:32:36we were expecting a few others, but they haven't materialised.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38So, cos the bottom one's gone,
0:32:38 > 0:32:41we're going to go for The Island Of Dr Moreau as the third one.
0:32:41 > 0:32:43The Island Of Dr Moreau say Dewi and Tom.
0:32:43 > 0:32:46OK, so we have The War Of The Worlds from Alwyn and Jane-Marie.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said it.
0:32:54 > 0:32:5757 for The War Of The Worlds.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00Dewi and Tom have gone for The Island Of Dr Moreau.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said it.
0:33:03 > 0:33:04Will it beat 57?
0:33:06 > 0:33:08It's right.
0:33:09 > 0:33:11You are in the final, very well done.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15Oh, it's a great answer, five.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19Well done, Dewi and Tom.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22After three questions, you are through to the final, 2-1.
0:33:22 > 0:33:23Well played, Dewi and Tom.
0:33:23 > 0:33:26Talking of things that didn't materialise, can anyone guess TIM?
0:33:26 > 0:33:28- The Invisible Man. - The Invisible Man, yeah.
0:33:28 > 0:33:32Would have scored nine points. THMITM?
0:33:32 > 0:33:36It was The First Men In The Moon and would have scored you 12 points.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39And TBOB is a pointless answer, very well done at home
0:33:39 > 0:33:42if anyone said, and I bet you didn't, The Bulpington Of Blup.
0:33:44 > 0:33:45Pointless answer.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48- It's not the sort of one you can guess at, is it?- No.
0:33:48 > 0:33:49Thanks very much.
0:33:49 > 0:33:52So the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round, I'm afraid,
0:33:52 > 0:33:56Alwyn and Jane-Marie, our strongest pair coming into the head-to-head.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58Just Dewi and Tom whipped it out from under your noses.
0:33:58 > 0:34:01We will see you again next time, we look forward to that very much indeed.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03Alwyn and Jane-Marie, thanks very much for playing.
0:34:03 > 0:34:04APPLAUSE
0:34:04 > 0:34:08But for Dewi and Tom, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:11 > 0:34:14Congratulations, Dewi and Tom, you've seen off all
0:34:14 > 0:34:17the competition and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:34:25 > 0:34:28and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at...
0:34:32 > 0:34:33Very, very well done.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36A pretty comprehensive victory but you've played very well
0:34:36 > 0:34:40throughout the show and Wales through to the final, look at that.
0:34:40 > 0:34:41Carrying the trophy for Wales so well done.
0:34:41 > 0:34:45What would you like to see come up in this round?
0:34:45 > 0:34:47I think Dewi's strong subject is film.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50If that comes up, that's looking good.
0:34:50 > 0:34:51Well, very best of luck,
0:34:51 > 0:34:55you have four categories to choose from and here they are.
0:34:55 > 0:34:56We've got...
0:35:04 > 0:35:07OK. Immediately get rid of the fourth one.
0:35:07 > 0:35:12- European politics, I know very little.- Yeah. Olivers?- Oliver Twist?
0:35:12 > 0:35:16- Unless that's the answer then... - Mate, we have to go film.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19- Yeah.- We're going to have to.- You just said a second ago...
0:35:19 > 0:35:23Yeah, but I haven't seen that many British gangster films.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26Yeah, I think... Yeah, we'll go for it.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29It'll be fine. Best of luck. They're going for British Gangster Films.
0:35:29 > 0:35:32We're looking for the name of anyone who received an acting
0:35:32 > 0:35:34credit in any of the following three films.
0:35:34 > 0:35:39The 2000 film Sexy Beast, anyone who received an acting credit in that.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41Anyone who received an acting credit in the 1980 film
0:35:41 > 0:35:44The Long Good Friday or anyone who received an acting
0:35:44 > 0:35:47credit for the 1998 film Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50So anyone according to iMDB with an acting credit in any of those
0:35:50 > 0:35:53- three films. Very best of luck. - Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:35:53 > 0:35:56Now, as always, you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers
0:35:56 > 0:35:58and to win that jackpot of £3,000,
0:35:58 > 0:36:01all you have to do is find just one pointless answer among those.
0:36:01 > 0:36:04Now, remember, the answers you provide can come from any of those categories,
0:36:04 > 0:36:06it's entirely up to you how you spread them across,
0:36:06 > 0:36:10they can all be from one category if you like or one from each, it's entirely down to you.
0:36:10 > 0:36:13- Are you ready?- Yes.- OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15There they are, your time starts now.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18Right, Sexy Beast, you've got Ray Winstone and Ben Kingsley
0:36:18 > 0:36:23but the one that might be pointless is, I think, Amanda Redgrave.
0:36:23 > 0:36:27Long Good Friday, Pierce Brosnan is the Irish guy,
0:36:27 > 0:36:29he's right at the end, he doesn't say anything
0:36:29 > 0:36:31so he's a bit of an extra so he might not have a credit.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels is Jason Flemyng...
0:36:34 > 0:36:37Who's the guy who was in This Is England?
0:36:37 > 0:36:43- He plays Al Capone in Boardwalk Empire.- Stephen...? Stephen Graham.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46Is he one of the scousers at the end?
0:36:46 > 0:36:50- He steals the guns originally.- Yes. With a mask over his head?
0:36:50 > 0:36:56- Yeah, yeah.- Who are we going for? - Definitely Jason Flemyng.- Right.
0:36:58 > 0:37:02- Pierce Brosnan? Have you seen The Long Good Friday?- Yeah, ages ago.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04- Do you remember him in it?- No. - That's a good sign.
0:37:04 > 0:37:05Ten seconds left.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08I can't remember anyone else from Long Good Friday except Bob Hoskins.
0:37:08 > 0:37:11Think of Lock, Stock.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13Well, obviously, there's Vinnie Jones.
0:37:15 > 0:37:16OK, your time is now up.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19Some great answers, I think, in the melange there.
0:37:19 > 0:37:20What are you going to go for?
0:37:20 > 0:37:24We'll say Pierce Brosnan for The Long Good Friday, Jason Flemyng
0:37:24 > 0:37:28for Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels, and...
0:37:28 > 0:37:31Stephen Graham also for Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34Which do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:37:34 > 0:37:36- Pierce Brosnan.- We'll put him last.
0:37:36 > 0:37:38Which is your least likely to be pointless?
0:37:38 > 0:37:42I'd say Stephen Graham cos I'm not 100% certain that's even his name.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45- OK.- It's close. - We'll put Stephen Graham first.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47I'm not certain so we'll put him first.
0:37:47 > 0:37:50And then in the middle we've got Jason Flemyng. Perfect.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53OK, let's pop those up on the board in that order
0:37:53 > 0:37:54and here they are, we've got...
0:37:58 > 0:38:00Well, very, very best of luck.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02Your first answer was Stephen Graham, you thought this was
0:38:02 > 0:38:04probably your least likely to be pointless,
0:38:04 > 0:38:06you weren't even entirely sure if it's right.
0:38:06 > 0:38:09Only one of them has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11£3,000, it's quite a nice jackpot.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13What would you do with your split of that, Dewi?
0:38:13 > 0:38:17I'd be tempted by another guitar but I've got seven already
0:38:17 > 0:38:19and I don't really have room to store them.
0:38:19 > 0:38:24- You've got to have an eighth guitar. - Yeah. A banjo would be nice.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27Or a mandolin.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29OK. Tom, how about you?
0:38:29 > 0:38:32Well, I enjoy travelling, I'd like to go on a holiday,
0:38:32 > 0:38:35South America's a part of the world I'd love to see,
0:38:35 > 0:38:38but I'm also a huge fan of breakfast, Alexander, huge fan.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41One of my favourite bands, yes.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44I'd invest in maybe a nice breakfast set, like a nice toaster,
0:38:44 > 0:38:46- a juicer...- A breakfast set?
0:38:46 > 0:38:48All the things you need to make a decent breakfast.
0:38:48 > 0:38:52Tom, that is...singularly, the best answer I've had
0:38:52 > 0:38:54when I've asked that. A breakfast set.
0:38:54 > 0:38:56I want a breakfast set,
0:38:56 > 0:39:00- the finest breakfast set one and a half grand can buy.- Brilliant.
0:39:00 > 0:39:04OK, excellent. Best of luck. So, first answer, Stephen Graham.
0:39:04 > 0:39:06In this case, you were submitting him
0:39:06 > 0:39:09as a cast member of Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels.
0:39:09 > 0:39:13Let's see if that's pointless, let's see if it'll win you £3,000.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16Oh, no.
0:39:17 > 0:39:21We'll discover what was wrong with that answer at the end.
0:39:21 > 0:39:24So, not a pointless answer. Two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26Your next answer was Jason Flemyng,
0:39:26 > 0:39:28again for Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31Let's see if it's right, let's see if it's pointless,
0:39:31 > 0:39:33let's see how many people said it.
0:39:34 > 0:39:35That's more like it.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38Definitely on safer ground here with Jason Flemyng.
0:39:38 > 0:39:40Well, if this goes all the way down to zero,
0:39:40 > 0:39:43it wins you that jackpot of £3,000. Your first answer was incorrect.
0:39:43 > 0:39:46Jason Flemyng now going down into single figures.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48Oh, one! one!
0:39:48 > 0:39:51APPLAUSE
0:39:55 > 0:39:58Oh, bad luck. That was close but I'll tell you what,
0:39:58 > 0:40:00it's all going in the right direction.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03100 on your first question, one on your second.
0:40:03 > 0:40:05So, only one more chance to win today's jackpot.
0:40:05 > 0:40:10Everything is now riding on Pierce Brosnan from The Long Good Friday.
0:40:10 > 0:40:15Now, you're pretty sure he's credited. He hardly appears.
0:40:15 > 0:40:19- I'm positive, 100% positive, he's in it.- That's a bad sign.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22LAUGHTER
0:40:22 > 0:40:26You won't be saying that when you're eating from your breakfast set.
0:40:26 > 0:40:31- It's such a small role though. - It could be the perfect answer.
0:40:31 > 0:40:34Well, let's find out, that sounds like a perfect pointless candidate.
0:40:34 > 0:40:38Let's see, Pierce Brosnan, is he in The Long Good Friday?
0:40:38 > 0:40:41Is it going to be pointless? Will it win Dewi and Tom £3,000?
0:40:44 > 0:40:47It's right. It's right.
0:40:47 > 0:40:50There could be a banjo, there could be a breakfast set riding on this.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53First answer was incorrect, your second answer stopped at one.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56Pierce Brosnan taking us down through single figures,
0:40:56 > 0:40:57down it goes...
0:40:57 > 0:40:58Oh, no!
0:40:59 > 0:41:01Oh, no!
0:41:05 > 0:41:08Well, what would you have had in there? A waffle-maker maybe?
0:41:08 > 0:41:10LAUGHTER
0:41:10 > 0:41:11All sorts of stuff.
0:41:11 > 0:41:14Oh, I'm so sorry, that is bad luck.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17- I thought that was going to go all the way down.- Never mind.
0:41:17 > 0:41:20I'm afraid you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless
0:41:20 > 0:41:22answer which means you don't win today's jackpot of £3,000.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24That will roll over on to the next show,
0:41:24 > 0:41:27but it's been brilliant having you on both shows, you've been
0:41:27 > 0:41:29such good value, and some great answers there. I'm so sorry.
0:41:29 > 0:41:31The breakfast set will have to wait.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33But don't forget, you get a Pointless trophy each
0:41:33 > 0:41:35so there we are, it wasn't all for nothing.
0:41:35 > 0:41:39APPLAUSE
0:41:41 > 0:41:42Unlucky, gents.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45Not a terrible category for you, at least you had a chance with that one.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48Stephen Graham is not in Lock, Stock, I'm afraid.
0:41:48 > 0:41:51He's in Snatch, the follow-up, he's in all sorts of things.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54Let's take a look at the pointless answers for all three.
0:41:54 > 0:41:57For Sexy Beast, you could have had...
0:42:02 > 0:42:05Well done if you said any of those.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07Now, The Long Good Friday, Derek Thompson, probably better
0:42:07 > 0:42:10known to British viewers as Charlie from Casualty, Derek Thompson.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12Dexter Fletcher was a pointless answer,
0:42:12 > 0:42:15- he was very young in that film. - That's who I was trying to think of.
0:42:15 > 0:42:19He would have scored 3 points for Lock, Stock.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22Gillian Taylforth has a small part in that and Karl Howman,
0:42:22 > 0:42:25better known as Jacko from Brush Strokes.
0:42:25 > 0:42:28Now, Lock, Stock, there's a few answers people would have got.
0:42:28 > 0:42:31Danny John-Jules, better known as Cat from Red Dwarf.
0:42:31 > 0:42:35- Rob Brydon plays a traffic warden, do you remember?- Oh, yeah.
0:42:35 > 0:42:38Vas Blackwood, he plays Rory Breaker in that film and Victor McGuire.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40Very well done if you got any of those at home.
0:42:40 > 0:42:41Thanks very much indeed.
0:42:41 > 0:42:44Well, unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to you, Dewi and Tom,
0:42:44 > 0:42:46but it's been brilliant having you on the show. Thank you both
0:42:46 > 0:42:50- so much for playing, Dewi and Tom. - APPLAUSE
0:42:50 > 0:42:53Well, sadly, Dewi and Tom didn't win our jackpot today which means
0:42:53 > 0:42:56it rolls over onto the next show when we will be playing for £4,000.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01Join us next time, see if someone can win it.
0:43:01 > 0:43:03- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:03 > 0:43:06And it's goodbye from me, goodbye.
