0:00:18 > 0:00:19APPLAUSE
0:00:19 > 0:00:22Thank you very much indeed. Hello!
0:00:22 > 0:00:24I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:24 > 0:00:28the show where we are striving to find the obscure answers.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30Let's meet today's players.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37- Couple number one. - Hi, I'm David. This is Dean.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41- We're from sunny Weston-super-Mare. - Couple number two.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44Hello, I'm Nalini and this is my brother-in-law, Neil.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47- Couple number three.- Hello, I'm Jane-Marie, this is my husband Alwyn
0:00:47 > 0:00:50and we're from Coleraine in Northern Ireland.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53- And finally, couple number four. - Hello, I'm Jenny, I'm from Cheshire.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56This is my oldest son Joe and he's from Canterbury.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58And these are today's contestants.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00APPLAUSE
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Thanks to all of you, we'll find out more about you throughout
0:01:03 > 0:01:05the show, so that leaves one person for me to introduce.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08He was asked to appear on Strictly Come Dancing,
0:01:08 > 0:01:10but stormed off in the first rehearsal after being informed
0:01:10 > 0:01:14that the Macarena was not an appropriate step for the ballroom.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16- It's my Pointless friend, Richard. - Hiya!
0:01:16 > 0:01:18APPLAUSE Hi, everybody. Hiya.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24- Good afternoon.- Good afternoon to you.- How are you?- I'm very well.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27- You look well.- Thank you, you don't look so bad yourself.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29- That's very kind of you.- Ruddy.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31- Ruddy?- Yeah!- Ruddy health!
0:01:31 > 0:01:33- Yeah.- Should be a good show today.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35We had a lovely one last time with Tom and Dewi.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37They did unbelievably well
0:01:37 > 0:01:42and finished with one point with one of their answers.
0:01:42 > 0:01:43SO unlucky.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46I love the way you looks like, "Oh, poor them!"
0:01:46 > 0:01:50I know what you're thinking - "That's another grand for us!"
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Should be another cracker today.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56We've got Nalini and Neil who got knocked out in the first round
0:01:56 > 0:01:58last time, quite unlucky to get knocked out as well.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Hopefully we'll see a bit more of them.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03We had Alwyn and Jane-Marie who did very well,
0:02:03 > 0:02:05- got through to the head-to-head, as well.- Good stuff.
0:02:05 > 0:02:10Thanks, Richard. Every question on Pointless has been asked to 100 people before the show.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Today's contestants are looking for a pointless answer,
0:02:12 > 0:02:15an answer that none of our 100 people gave
0:02:15 > 0:02:18and each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Dewi and Tom didn't win the jackpot last time, so we add
0:02:20 > 0:02:24another £1,000 to that, so today's jackpot starts off at £4,000.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31Right, if everyone is ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37OK, the pair with the highest score at the end of the round will be
0:02:37 > 0:02:40eliminated and there is to be no conferring during the round itself.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Our category for Round One today
0:02:43 > 0:02:44is Cinema.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Cinema.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first and second.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52Whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56OK, the question concerns...
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Eponymous films.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Eponymous films, Richard.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05In a moment, Xander, I'll show you a board with the names of four actors on it.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08We're looking for any film for which any of those four actors received
0:03:08 > 0:03:12an acting credit that has the name of a character in its title.
0:03:12 > 0:03:13So any of the four actors,
0:03:13 > 0:03:16any film they've been in that has the name of the character in the title.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19The actors don't have to have played the character,
0:03:19 > 0:03:21as long as the character's name is in the title.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24As always, no TV films, short films, documentaries, that sort of thing.
0:03:24 > 0:03:29Voice performances do count. This is as of August 2013.
0:03:29 > 0:03:30Thank you very much indeed.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Richard has just said, we're going to put four actors' names up on
0:03:33 > 0:03:36the board, they'll remain there the whole of the round,
0:03:36 > 0:03:41you just have to name any eponymous film starring one of these actors.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45Let's reveal our four actors and here they are. We have got...
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Jack Nicholson, Julia Roberts, Meryl Streep, Sean Connery.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Dean and David, you all drew lots before the show
0:03:56 > 0:03:58and today you are going to go first. Dean, welcome to Pointless.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01What do you do, Dean?
0:04:01 > 0:04:04I'm doing some voluntary work at the moment for a charity
0:04:04 > 0:04:09- for elderly people and people who are ill and their pets.- Brilliant.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11What you do in your spare time?
0:04:11 > 0:04:16I'm doing a course at the moment at college, a cake decoration course.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19- An icing course?- Yeah. - You're majoring in icing?- I am!
0:04:19 > 0:04:24- I've always fancied trying it so I've had a go!- Do you make cakes?
0:04:24 > 0:04:28- I do.- So, er, Dean...?
0:04:28 > 0:04:31For once, you may mock, but Dean actually has made us a cake.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34You made us a cake? Ah! I always say that because people haven't...
0:04:34 > 0:04:35I've got it here.
0:04:36 > 0:04:37Whoa!
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Would you look at that!
0:04:39 > 0:04:41APPLAUSE
0:04:41 > 0:04:42Oh, look at that!
0:04:45 > 0:04:48- That's pretty good, isn't it?- That is good, actually, look at that!
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Wow.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52That's me.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56That is you. I like the sideys. You've certainly got my ears.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Would you object terribly if I took Alexander's head off?
0:04:59 > 0:05:01LAUGHTER
0:05:01 > 0:05:03No, but you might have difficulty because its royal-iced on,
0:05:03 > 0:05:05but have a go!
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Aaaahhhhh!
0:05:13 > 0:05:14Oh, no!
0:05:16 > 0:05:18I'm going to have your severed head
0:05:18 > 0:05:20on the front...
0:05:22 > 0:05:23It won't stand up, now.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27Look at that - I might just try some of my brains.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29- Mm!- Mm, delicious.- Mm, sugar!
0:05:29 > 0:05:32- Lovely!- That is...
0:05:33 > 0:05:36Listen, you just play the game amongst yourselves.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40- I might put the cake down, now. - Why not.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43It's going to be a temptation otherwise, isn't it?
0:05:43 > 0:05:48Thank you for that, Dean. And I haven't even tried the cake bit!
0:05:48 > 0:05:53- It's better tasting than the head! - Well, thank you! That's wonderful.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56See that? That's what you do if you're a contestant who makes cakes.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Bring one!
0:05:58 > 0:06:00No-one makes CARS, do they?
0:06:00 > 0:06:02LAUGHTER
0:06:04 > 0:06:05Dean, what are you going to go for?
0:06:05 > 0:06:09We've got four actors there and we would like any film title
0:06:09 > 0:06:13with a character's name in it, starring one of those actors.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17Looking down, I'm going to go for Julia Roberts
0:06:17 > 0:06:21and the film I'm going to go for is one called Erin Brockovich.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Erin Brockovich says Dean,
0:06:23 > 0:06:26let's see how many of our 100 people said Erin Brockovich.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Very good indeed, 16 for Erin Brockovich.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Yes, she won an Oscar for her role as Erin Brockovich.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46The real Erin Brockovich wanted Goldie Hawn to play her.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48But I bet when they said Julia Roberts,
0:06:48 > 0:06:51she was like, "Hold on, that would be amazing".
0:06:51 > 0:06:55Of course, when they make the film of Pointless, we are auditioning.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57Yeah.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Remind me... You've got it down to about three now?
0:07:00 > 0:07:04- Denzel Washington is playing me. - Oh, you've given him the role now?
0:07:04 > 0:07:08Absolutely. And you're being played by Leslie Grantham.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14I am so thrilled. I am really thrilled with that.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17- No, Hugh Bonneville would be a very good you.- He would.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Actually, you could play yourself, you're an actor.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23- I'd be rubbish at that though, wouldn't I?- No.- Well, maybe.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25- You're doing it now.- Am I?
0:07:26 > 0:07:29You've made me all self-conscious, Richard!
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Er...
0:07:32 > 0:07:36- Neil, what do you do? Remind us. - I'm a Webmaster.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39That's the answer I was looking for! A Webmaster.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41What happened last time, Neil?
0:07:41 > 0:07:43It was a devastating first round for you.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47I got a correct answer which I was proud of. Went for the
0:07:47 > 0:07:50first thing that popped into my head, perhaps not the best idea.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53Yes, we learned a lesson there.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56I have every reason to believe you will do much better this time.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59Now, Neil, there we are,
0:07:59 > 0:08:03an eponymous film starring one of these characters.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05I am struggling, I have to say.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07I can think of films that contain them all,
0:08:07 > 0:08:10but not with character names in the title.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Apart from one!
0:08:12 > 0:08:16So I'm going to have to go for that, it's the only one I've got.
0:08:17 > 0:08:22It's a film that Sean Connery was in and it's called Highlander.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Highlander.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28OK, let's find out if Highlander is correct.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34It's right.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36It's right, Neil!
0:08:38 > 0:08:39Two!
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Yes!
0:08:46 > 0:08:49He plays one Juan Sanchez Villa-Lobos Ramirez in that film,
0:08:49 > 0:08:53Sean Connery, making the most of his Scottish accent.
0:08:53 > 0:08:54A good answer, good risk to take, Neil.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56I thought that was going to be wrong, but...!
0:08:56 > 0:09:00I'm quite relieved it wasn't. Well done! That feels good, doesn't it?
0:09:00 > 0:09:03- It does, yes.- Good stuff. Jane-Marie, welcome back.
0:09:03 > 0:09:08Head-to-head, our golden couple you were, last time.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10- Remind us what you do, Jane-Marie. - I'm a civil servant.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13You process driving licence applications.
0:09:13 > 0:09:18- This is quite hard, isn't it?- It is quite hard.- Good answer from Neil.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Have you got any answers at your fingertips?
0:09:20 > 0:09:24I'm going to say Meryl Streep, Julie and Julia.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Julie and Julia.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Julie and Julia, let's see if it's right.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Well, 16 our high score, 2 our low... You've passed 2!
0:09:42 > 0:09:45A great answer...
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Very good answer, yes.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50She plays a US TV cook, Julia Child.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53- She's a good actress, that Meryl Streep.- You think?
0:09:53 > 0:09:56- Yeah, I think she's quite good. - Interesting.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58- Keep an eye on her, maybe? - I would say one to watch, certainly.
0:09:58 > 0:10:03- One of your tips for the top. - One of my tips.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06- Now, Joe - welcome to the show. What do you do?- I'm a student, currently.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10- What are you studying? - Film studies.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14- XANDER EXCLAIMS - You'd think so!- I'd hope so!
0:10:14 > 0:10:16What sort of film are you studying?
0:10:16 > 0:10:20Currently a lot of horror, so this board is kind of hard.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Well, there you are.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26A film by one of these characters with a character name in the title.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28What's it going to be, Joe?
0:10:28 > 0:10:33- I'm going to go for Julia Roberts in Ocean's 12.- Ocean's 12.
0:10:33 > 0:10:34I like that.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36I like that for lots of reasons.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39I like the way you've gone for 12, as well. Let's see if that's right
0:10:39 > 0:10:42and if so, how many of our 100 people said Ocean's 12.
0:10:47 > 0:10:51Well, so far, our lowest score is one.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53That is a pointless answer!
0:10:53 > 0:10:55I had a hunch that might be pointless,
0:10:55 > 0:10:58that's a very good answer, Joe. Very well done.
0:10:58 > 0:11:03That adds £250 to today's jackpot, takes the total up to £4,250
0:11:03 > 0:11:05and moreover, it scores you nothing,
0:11:05 > 0:11:07very well done indeed, Joe.
0:11:07 > 0:11:08Very well played, Joe.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11Of course "Ocean's" refers to Danny Ocean,
0:11:11 > 0:11:15the George Clooney character and she plays Tess Ocean. Joe's quite cool.
0:11:15 > 0:11:16That's nicely done.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18I thought he was being a bit laid-back and would give us
0:11:18 > 0:11:21a terrible answer, but actually he gave us a brilliant answer.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24- So he's allowed to be laid-back. - Bring it on, Joe. Very good.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27We're halfway through the round, let's take a look at those scores.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31Joe, very well done. Good answer. Lovely low score.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33There you are looking strong with your mum on nothing,
0:11:33 > 0:11:36then up to 1 where we find Jane-Marie and Alwyn, then up
0:11:36 > 0:11:39to 2, where we find Neil and Nalini, and then up to 16, Dean and David.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43Not a terrible score by any means, but you are out in front,
0:11:43 > 0:11:46so David, you have a little bit of time, use it wisely.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Best of luck - we'll come back down the line now,
0:11:48 > 0:11:51can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:11:54 > 0:11:58OK, Jenny - we are looking for the title of any eponymous
0:11:58 > 0:12:00film in which any of these actors appeared.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03- Welcome to Pointless, Jenny.- Thank you very much.- What you do, Jenny?
0:12:03 > 0:12:08- I'm a management consultant.- Very good, where are you from?- Cheshire.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10And when you're not consulting managers, what do you do?
0:12:10 > 0:12:15I like to knit and I recently designed a jumper for Sarah Lund,
0:12:15 > 0:12:18- the detective in The Killing... - Did you really?
0:12:18 > 0:12:21- It got made up and is now with Sofie Grabol.- Good Lord!
0:12:21 > 0:12:25So proper knitting! Knitting of an altogether different calibre!
0:12:25 > 0:12:29- Official knitting, for Sarah Lund. - Yes. Prize-winning knitting!
0:12:29 > 0:12:35- Yes, prize-winning! Well, Jenny. - Yes.- What a great answer from Joe.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38- It was. - Your aim is to score 15 or less.- OK.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Then you won't become the new high-scorers.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44Um, I don't want to let Joe down after his great start,
0:12:44 > 0:12:47but I think I'm safe with this Meryl Streep one which is Silkwood.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Silkwood, says Jenny. Let's see if that's right,
0:12:50 > 0:12:53how many people said it. There's your red line.
0:12:54 > 0:12:55It's right.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01I have a good feeling about this, Jenny. It gets you through...
0:13:01 > 0:13:03A 3!
0:13:06 > 0:13:10- Good score, your total is 3. - Well played, Jenny. Very impressive.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12She plays Karen Silkwood in that, Meryl Streep.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16- Received an Oscar nomination. - See, she is good, Meryl Streep.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20- Like I said.- You were right, actually.- Worth watching out for her.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23Since you mentioned her, she just got an Oscar nomination for Silkwood.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26It's all happening for Meryl. Alwyn.
0:13:26 > 0:13:31Welcome back. Head-to-headers, last time. Remind us what you do.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35- Surveying and mapping.- 3-D mapping.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37- Yes.- That sounds exciting.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40Is that all on computers?
0:13:40 > 0:13:47Yes, computer software and the use of quite fancy glasses that
0:13:47 > 0:13:51you might wear at the cinema, except more sophisticated.
0:13:51 > 0:13:52There we are.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55Now, Alwyn, what are you going to go for?
0:13:55 > 0:13:59I'm certain of a Jack Nicholson one and a slight risk with
0:13:59 > 0:14:01a Sean Connery one, but I'm going to go for it.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05I'm going to say Darby O'Gill And The Little People.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08Darby O'Gill And The Little People.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11Oh! If that exists, that's a brilliant title!
0:14:11 > 0:14:14I think that deserves to go all the way down the column,
0:14:14 > 0:14:16but we have to see if it's right, first.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18There's your red line, if you get below that,
0:14:18 > 0:14:21you're in the next round. Darby O'Gill And The Little People.
0:14:22 > 0:14:23It's right!
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Wow, Alwyn!
0:14:28 > 0:14:30That passes the red line...
0:14:30 > 0:14:34And it's a pointless answer! Very, very well done indeed!
0:14:34 > 0:14:36Top scoring skills there.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39That adds £250 to today's jackpot,
0:14:39 > 0:14:41takes the total up to £4,500
0:14:41 > 0:14:46and scores you nothing, leaves your total at 1.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49- Well done.- What a great round, what a great answer as well.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51It's from 1959, that film.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55It's about a man who pits his wits against the King of the leprechauns.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58- True story.- Yeah, yeah.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01- That's a good answer. - Very good. Brilliant.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04- Now then, Nalini, welcome back.- Hello.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Remind us what you do, Nalini.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09I'm an operations manager with a big American corporation.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11And what do you do in your spare time?
0:15:11 > 0:15:14I like playing bridge and Scrabble.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17- Do you play proper, conventional bridge?- Yes.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19So there you are on 2, Nalini.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22On 16, we find David and Dean.
0:15:22 > 0:15:23So 13 or less keeps you...
0:15:23 > 0:15:27Unfortunately, Jenny's taken my answer!
0:15:27 > 0:15:29But I'm going to guess at one.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31I think it might be OK, it's a Sean Connery film,
0:15:31 > 0:15:34before I was born, I think.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36- Marnie.- Marnie.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40Marnie. OK, there's your red line, if you get below that, you're through to the next round.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43Let's see if it's right, and if it is, how many people said it.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47It is right.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54You're through, it's a pointless answer!
0:15:54 > 0:15:56This is a fantastic ground!
0:15:56 > 0:15:59That's another £250 to today's jackpot,
0:15:59 > 0:16:01takes the total up to £4,750.
0:16:01 > 0:16:05It scores you nothing, leaves your total at 2, brilliant! Brilliant.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09Wow, well played, Nalini. What a round everyone is having!
0:16:09 > 0:16:12We had a picture of him from Marnie on the picture board the other day.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15- So we did. - I feel a bit sorry for David.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17Since Dean got a perfectly respectable score of 16,
0:16:17 > 0:16:21David's stood there seeing 6 answers scoring 6 points between them!
0:16:21 > 0:16:25- Three pointless answers included. That's pretty tough.- That is tough.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28And sadly, tougher still,
0:16:28 > 0:16:32David also knows that no matter what he says, he'll be taking
0:16:32 > 0:16:35the long walk back to the dressing room after this round.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39- David, welcome to Pointless, what do you do?- I'm retired.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43- What DID you do, David?- I worked in local government entertainment.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47- Entertainment? Did you keep them entertained?- I did!
0:16:47 > 0:16:52- What kind of...?- Mainly front of house, theatre.- Very good, OK.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54David, what are you going to go for?
0:16:54 > 0:16:57This is a terrible category for me, films.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00- I'll have a go at Meryl Streep and The Iron Lady.- The Iron Lady.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03No red line I'm afraid, as you are the high-scorers,
0:17:03 > 0:17:06but let's see how many of our 100 people said The Iron Lady.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13Ooh! I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer,
0:17:13 > 0:17:16scores you the maximum of 100 points, takes your total up to 116.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19- That seems a bit harsh. - Well, it's not a character name.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22- Highlander is the name of the character.- Oh, I see.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24The character is Margaret Thatcher.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27I'm surprised no-one picked up on...
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Joe gave you a lovely hint with Ocean's 12,
0:17:30 > 0:17:32because Ocean's 11 would have been a pointless answer as well.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35I'll show you some more pointless answers now.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Jack Nicholson was Oscar-nominated for About Schmidt.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41Julia Roberts was in Charlie Wilson's War. Tom Hanks played Charlie Wilson.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44Julia Roberts again was the voice of Charlotte in Charlotte's Web.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade...
0:17:48 > 0:17:50Of course Sean Connery played Indie's dad.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53There's Marnie, very good answer. Julia Roberts is in Michael Collins.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56Liam Neeson was Michael Collins.
0:17:56 > 0:17:57There's Ocean's 11.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01Prizzi's Honor was Jack Nicholson and Tommy would have been a very
0:18:01 > 0:18:04good answer. Jack Nicholson plays a role in that.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07Very well done if you said any of those at home.
0:18:07 > 0:18:11The highest score of all was Erin Brockovich. 16 points.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14The biggest scorer in the whole round. Isn't that amazing?
0:18:14 > 0:18:17Interesting. Thanks very much indeed.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20So at the end of our first round, I'm sorry to say it's David and Dean
0:18:20 > 0:18:22who will be heading home with their high score of 116.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25I'm sorry we have to say goodbye to you now,
0:18:25 > 0:18:26but we'll see you again next time.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28David and Dean!
0:18:28 > 0:18:31APPLAUSE
0:18:31 > 0:18:34But, for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Three pairs remain. At the end of this round,
0:18:39 > 0:18:42we'll say goodbye to another pair in time for our head-to-head round.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46Hats off... Do you know what? Heads off!
0:18:48 > 0:18:52What...? Whoa, don't give me the eye! Wow.
0:18:52 > 0:18:53That was exceptional.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Only two points between our highest and lowest score.
0:18:56 > 0:18:591 for Alwyn and Jane-Marie and 2 for Nalini and Neil.
0:18:59 > 0:19:023 for Jenny and Joe. Absolutely fantastic.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05This is very exciting indeed. Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07Our category for Round Two
0:19:07 > 0:19:08is Literature.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12Literature. See if you can keep up your low-scoring now.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14Can you all decide in your pairs who'll go first,
0:19:14 > 0:19:16who'll go second.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25OK, and the question concerns...
0:19:25 > 0:19:27American Novels.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29American Novels, Richard.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32We'll show you the names of six novels written by American authors,
0:19:32 > 0:19:35you just need to tell us the name of the authors, please.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38- 12 American authors to guess at home, very best of luck.- Thanks.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41We're looking for the authors of these novels.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Here is our first board of six.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56I'll read those all one last time.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Housekeeping (1980),
0:19:58 > 0:20:00For Whom The Bell Tolls (1940),
0:20:00 > 0:20:01My Sister's Keeper (2004),
0:20:01 > 0:20:03On The Road (1957),
0:20:03 > 0:20:05Along Came A Spider (1993)
0:20:05 > 0:20:08and The Age Of Innocence (1920).
0:20:08 > 0:20:11Now, then. Neil.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14Yes. How do we feel?
0:20:14 > 0:20:17If you could pick a category I wouldn't want to see,
0:20:17 > 0:20:20Literature would be that category.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22- OK.- So I'm struggling here. Um...
0:20:23 > 0:20:25Is it going to have to be a guess, do you think?
0:20:25 > 0:20:28It is going to have to be a guess.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31I'm going to take a wild stab.
0:20:32 > 0:20:37I'm going to say The Age Of Innocence, Mark Twain.
0:20:37 > 0:20:38Mark Twain.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40OK, let's see if that's right
0:20:40 > 0:20:43and if it is, how many of our 100 people said Mark Twain.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48Oh, bad luck, Neil. I'm sorry.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51An incorrect answer, there. 100 points.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54Sorry, I'll give you the correct answer at the end of the pass, Neil.
0:20:54 > 0:21:00- Jane-Marie, how're you feeling about this?- I thought I liked literature!
0:21:00 > 0:21:02It's a tough board, that one.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04It is, and the thing is, when you're at home
0:21:04 > 0:21:07and shouting answers at the television that don't matter...
0:21:07 > 0:21:11You can say two or three answers for each of them and you would probably
0:21:11 > 0:21:14get the right one somewhere, but there is one I know, so...
0:21:14 > 0:21:16On The Road, Jack Kerouac.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18Jack Kerouac, says Jane-Marie,
0:21:18 > 0:21:21let's see how many people said Jack Kerouac.
0:21:23 > 0:21:24Absolutely right.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Good answer, 16. Well done, Jane-Marie.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38Yes, he was a big college American football star,
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Jack Kerouac, then got injured.
0:21:40 > 0:21:45- So he took up writing instead. - There we are, now, Jenny. Yes.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47Jenny, you're the last person to have this board.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51- Do you think you could talk us through it?- I know one of them.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54I know I'm going to know another of them when you tell me,
0:21:54 > 0:21:56but I don't know it now.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58The one I think I do know is Along Came A Spider,
0:21:58 > 0:22:00which I think is James Patterson.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03James Patterson, for Along Came A Spider says Jenny.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said it.
0:22:08 > 0:22:09Absolutely right.
0:22:14 > 0:22:19Well done, 11. James Patterson. Good answer, Jenny - well done.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23Yes, the most New York Times bestsellers of any author,
0:22:23 > 0:22:27James Patterson. That was the first of his Alex Cross series.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Now, let's look at the rest of these.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32For Whom the Bell Tolls is the biggest scorer.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35- It's not a big score, but the biggest of the lot.- Ernest Hemingway.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37Would have scored you 19.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40The Age Of Innocence is Edith Wharton.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Would have scored you 3 points.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45My Sister's Keeper was Jodie Picoult,
0:22:45 > 0:22:47would have scored you 4 points.
0:22:48 > 0:22:52The top answer was a pointless answer, Marilynne Robinson.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57No points, went on to win a Pulitzer Prize. Edith Wharton,
0:22:57 > 0:23:00the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for The Age Of Innocence.
0:23:00 > 0:23:01Thank you very much indeed.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04Let's take a look at our scores, we're halfway through the round.
0:23:04 > 0:23:05Quite a broad field.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07Jenny and Joe are lowest-scorers there, well done, Jenny.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10That puts you in a strong position, I'd say.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12Up to 16 where we find Jane-Marie and Alwyn,
0:23:12 > 0:23:16and then I'm afraid to say it's up to 100, Neil and Nalini.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19- Nalini, how're you feeling about this?- I knew three of the answers on the board.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Oh, no, you should have gone the other way round!
0:23:21 > 0:23:24Let's hope you know more on the next board. Best of luck.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27We'll come back down the line, now - can the second players please step up to the podium.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32OK, let's put six more novels up on the board and here they come.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34We've got...
0:23:44 > 0:23:45I'll read those all one last time.
0:23:45 > 0:23:50The Shining (1977), LA Confidential (1990), Naked Lunch (1959),
0:23:50 > 0:23:56Underworld (1997), The Pelican Brief (1992) and Gone Girl (2012).
0:23:56 > 0:23:59Now, remember, we're looking for the authors of these American novels.
0:23:59 > 0:24:03Joe, you'll try to find the one the fewest of our 100 people said.
0:24:03 > 0:24:07Joe. You're on 11. The high-scorers, Nalini and Neil on 100.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11So 88 or less sees you through.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13I know the obvious one.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16And part of me thinks I know another...
0:24:17 > 0:24:20..but that's quite a high score.
0:24:20 > 0:24:25I'm going to go for Stephen King for The Shining.
0:24:25 > 0:24:30OK, you're going to say Stephen King for The Shining. Um...
0:24:30 > 0:24:33There's your red line, get below that
0:24:33 > 0:24:34you're through to the next round.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37Let's see how many of our 100 people said Stephen King.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43Very well done, you're through.
0:24:45 > 0:24:4635.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50Takes your total up to 46.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Nice answer to be up there for someone studying horror
0:24:52 > 0:24:57- films as well. Are you a fan of The Shining?- Yes, love it.- I'm a fan.
0:24:57 > 0:24:58It's a great film.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02Some of the best films ever made have come from Stephen King books.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05The Shining, Shawshank Redemption...
0:25:05 > 0:25:07- Exactly.- Misery.- Indeed.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09- Stand By Me.- Quite right.
0:25:09 > 0:25:10It's not bad, is it?
0:25:10 > 0:25:14No. I'm glad you stopped there, I was running out of things to say.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16But, yes! Thanks very much! Now, Alwyn.
0:25:17 > 0:25:21- Alwyn, how are you feeling about this as a round?- Oh, dear.- Oh, no!
0:25:21 > 0:25:24It's been such a solid performance from Alwyn
0:25:24 > 0:25:28- and Jane-Marie the whole way through.- I don't know any.
0:25:28 > 0:25:29I knew The Shining.
0:25:29 > 0:25:35So, based on the years, I'll take a stab at Naked Lunch and say...
0:25:36 > 0:25:38- ..Norman Mailer.- Norman Mailer,
0:25:38 > 0:25:41says Alwyn for Naked Lunch.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43For a stab in the dark, that's a pretty good one.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47Let's find out if it's right, though. Norman Mailer.
0:25:47 > 0:25:48There's your red line.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51Doh, bad luck, Alwyn.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53I'm afraid an incorrect answer, which scores you
0:25:53 > 0:25:55the maximum of 100 points.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58It takes your total up to 116, but the round is not yet over.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00Sorry, Alwyn. Good guess, though.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03He wrote The Naked And The Dead, Norman Mailer.
0:26:03 > 0:26:07Thanks very much, Richard. Now, Nalini. Oh, this is exciting!
0:26:07 > 0:26:11- I should have gone first!- Hang on! I don't like the tenor of that!
0:26:11 > 0:26:14I should have gone first! I knew three answers on the first board.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16The two lower ones I knew, as well.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Well, listen - the board is all there.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21Do you want just to do your thinking out loud?
0:26:21 > 0:26:25I'm trying to think about a 1950s author.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Nothing is coming to me.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30The Pelican Brief I know is John Grisham.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33Thinking about LA Confidential... film, but again...
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Nothing is coming to me!
0:26:35 > 0:26:37SHE SIGHS
0:26:37 > 0:26:41I need to guess something because I think it's quite a low score I have to beat.
0:26:41 > 0:26:45Yeah, I'm afraid you need to score 15 or less.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48Shall we go for something like JD Salinger for Naked Lunch.
0:26:48 > 0:26:53JD Salinger, says Nalini, for Naked Lunch. There's your red line.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56Get below that red line, you're in the head-to-head.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59Let's see if JD Salinger is right.
0:27:01 > 0:27:02Bad luck, Nalini. I'm sorry.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08Scores you the maximum of 100 points, takes your total up to 200.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11Sorry, Nalini. You weren't tempted to go for John Grisham? You did know it.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14But I thought it would be too high.
0:27:14 > 0:27:1719 points, it would have scored you.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19I think I would have risked it.
0:27:19 > 0:27:23Naked Lunch not by Mailer, not by Salinger,
0:27:23 > 0:27:25it's by William Burroughs.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28It would have scored 5 points.
0:27:28 > 0:27:29There's some great books up here.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32Pelican Brief is John Grisham, scored 19 as we said.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37Gone Girl, the book that everyone seemed to be reading
0:27:37 > 0:27:42in the last 12 months or so, but can you remember the author of it?
0:27:42 > 0:27:44My wife has been reading it and...
0:27:44 > 0:27:46It's a very good book.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49It's a real page turner. It's by Gillian Flynn.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52Well done if you said that without looking at your book case.
0:27:52 > 0:27:573 points. LA Confidential is James Ellroy, another terrific book.
0:27:57 > 0:27:58Would have scored you 8.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00And the pointless answer up there,
0:28:00 > 0:28:04another unbelievably great book, Underworld, is by Don Delillo.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06Very well done if you said that.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08Thank you very much indeed.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11So at the end of our second round, the pair heading home with a high
0:28:11 > 0:28:14score of 200 I'm afraid is Neil and Nalini.
0:28:15 > 0:28:19- Well, it was first round last time. - It was!- You've done twice as well!
0:28:19 > 0:28:21But I'm afraid we have to say goodbye now.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24It's been great having you on both shows, thanks for playing -
0:28:24 > 0:28:26Neil and Nalini.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28APPLAUSE
0:28:28 > 0:28:31But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for the head-to-head.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38Congratulations Jenny and Joe, Alwyn and Jane-Marie.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40You're now one step closer to the final
0:28:40 > 0:28:43and a chance to play for our jackpot which currently stands at
0:28:43 > 0:28:45£4,750.
0:28:48 > 0:28:51So now we have to decide who's going to play for that money
0:28:51 > 0:28:53and to do that, you are now going head-to-head.
0:28:53 > 0:28:56You are now allowed to confer which I think makes a big difference.
0:28:56 > 0:29:00The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02OK. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09OK, here comes your first question.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11It concerns...
0:29:11 > 0:29:13Trade Unionists.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15Trade Unionists. Richard.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18Yes, the BBC rang us the other day and said they felt the show wasn't
0:29:18 > 0:29:21glamorous enough, could we add a little bit of pizzazz.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24We're going to show you five pictures of prominent trade unionists now.
0:29:24 > 0:29:27- Can you name the most obscure of these?- Thanks, Richard.
0:29:27 > 0:29:30Let's reveal our five trade unionists and here they are.
0:29:49 > 0:29:53There you go. Five trade unionists.
0:29:53 > 0:29:56Jenny and Joe, you've played best throughout show so far,
0:29:56 > 0:29:57so you will go first.
0:29:59 > 0:30:00- SHE WHISPERS:- B, I know,
0:30:00 > 0:30:02E, I think I know, but it's risky.
0:30:02 > 0:30:03- I think I should go E.- OK.
0:30:06 > 0:30:07Yes, well...
0:30:07 > 0:30:10We're toying between going for a safe option or a slightly
0:30:10 > 0:30:14riskier option and we're feeling brave, so we're going a bit riskier.
0:30:14 > 0:30:19- For us, we're going for E, Bob Crow. - Bob Crow say Jenny and Joe.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22Now, Alwyn and Jane-Marie, do you fancy talking us
0:30:22 > 0:30:24through these trade unionists?
0:30:24 > 0:30:27I know Arthur Scargill, I don't think I'll beat Bob Crow.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33We're going to guess at C, Jo Grimond.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35Jo Grimond.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37Jo Grimond, say Alwyn and Jane-Marie.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39So we have Bob Crow and Jo Grimond.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42Jenny and Joe said Bob Crow, let's see if that's right
0:30:42 > 0:30:44and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50It is Bob Crow. Very well done. Brave choice.
0:30:54 > 0:30:56Oh, it's a great answer! 6 for Bob Crow.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04Alwyn and Jane-Marie have said Jo Grimond for C.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06Let's see if that's right
0:31:06 > 0:31:09and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14Not Jo Grimond. Not Jo Grimond.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16Well, very well done, Jenny and Joe.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18After one question, you are up 1-0.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20Jo Grimond was the leader of the Liberal Party
0:31:20 > 0:31:23but you had to take a risk - Scargill would score too many.
0:31:23 > 0:31:27A is currently - at the time of recording -
0:31:27 > 0:31:30the general secretary of Unite, Len McCluskey.
0:31:31 > 0:31:35He'll love that photo. That would have scored 1.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38B is Arthur Scargill, no point going for it, you're quite right.
0:31:38 > 0:31:43- It would have scored 63.- You could scour dishes with his sideburns.
0:31:43 > 0:31:44You sure could!
0:31:44 > 0:31:47Now, C, also a politician,
0:31:47 > 0:31:49is Ernest Bevin.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51Very well done if you said that
0:31:51 > 0:31:53at home, it's a pointless answer.
0:31:53 > 0:31:57And D, he was general secretary
0:31:57 > 0:32:00of the TGWU and it's Bill Morris.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02Bill would have scored you 2 points.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04Thanks very much indeed.
0:32:04 > 0:32:06So here comes your second question.
0:32:06 > 0:32:08Alwyn and Jane-Marie, you will get to answer this one first.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11But you have to win it to stay in the game. Best of luck.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14It concerns...
0:32:14 > 0:32:16Parts Of A Car Engine.
0:32:17 > 0:32:19Parts of a car engine. Richard.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21You'll see the names of five car engine parts now,
0:32:21 > 0:32:24but we've left out alternate letters. Can you fill in the gaps.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26- Best of luck. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:32:26 > 0:32:30Let's reveal our five car parts and here they are.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42I'll read those all one last time.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54Alwyn and Jane-Marie, you will go first.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02- Second one is alternator. - But the first one?
0:33:03 > 0:33:05OK, we think we know four.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09Um, what are you going to go for?
0:33:10 > 0:33:12THEY WHISPER
0:33:12 > 0:33:14The bottom one, manifold.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17You're going to go for manifold. Alwyn and Jane-Marie,
0:33:17 > 0:33:20manifold. OK, Jenny and Joe, over to you.
0:33:20 > 0:33:24- Do you want to talk us through them? - Yes. Um...
0:33:24 > 0:33:25We were struggling on the fourth,
0:33:25 > 0:33:27but I've just had a flash of inspiration.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29I think we might have that.
0:33:29 > 0:33:33We think it's spark plug, alternator,
0:33:33 > 0:33:34fan belt...
0:33:36 > 0:33:39- Ignition coil.- And ignition coil.
0:33:39 > 0:33:44That's made up, so I might not go for that, even though it fits.
0:33:44 > 0:33:49- Oh, let's do it. Ignition coil. - Ignition coil say Jenny and Joe.
0:33:49 > 0:33:52So Alwyn and Jane-Marie said manifold, let's see if that's right
0:33:52 > 0:33:55for the bottom one and if it is, how many people said it.
0:33:56 > 0:33:57It is right.
0:34:01 > 0:34:0352.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10Now, everything hinges on whether or not an ignition coil
0:34:10 > 0:34:13exists or if it's something that you've conveniently made up
0:34:13 > 0:34:14to fit the blanks there.
0:34:14 > 0:34:18- It sounds good to me, an ignition coil, I think. Maybe!- Could be.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20Let's find out if it's right. If it is,
0:34:20 > 0:34:21I think it'll go a long way down.
0:34:23 > 0:34:25It is right, very well done.
0:34:27 > 0:34:31And it earns you the points. Good, brave answer there.
0:34:31 > 0:34:32It scores you 8.
0:34:34 > 0:34:38Well done, Jenny and Joe, after only two questions you are straight
0:34:38 > 0:34:40- through to the final, 2-0. - Well played, Jenny.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43There's two things that could have fit there, ignition coil
0:34:43 > 0:34:46which you said or an ignition clip, which I said. I got it wrong.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49I'm hoping some other people at home got it wrong as well.
0:34:49 > 0:34:55The top one is spark plug. Not a big score, actually - 37 points.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58Alternator would have scored 46.
0:34:58 > 0:35:02And the biggest score up there is fan belt, at 76 points.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08So the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:35:08 > 0:35:10I'm so sorry, it's Alwyn and Jane-Marie.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13I'm afraid there's no arguing with Jenny and Joe.
0:35:13 > 0:35:15They took some big risks there but they all paid off.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18It's been lovely having you on both shows, thanks so much for playing.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21- Alwyn and Jane-Marie.- Thank you.
0:35:23 > 0:35:27But for Jenny and Joe, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32Congratulations, Jenny and Joe.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34You fought off all the competition
0:35:34 > 0:35:36and won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:35:44 > 0:35:48and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £4,750.
0:35:51 > 0:35:52You've done so well.
0:35:52 > 0:35:55So well, consistent low-scoring all the way through.
0:35:55 > 0:35:58So your first answer on the show today was a pointless answer,
0:35:58 > 0:36:01I wonder if your last one can be, too? That will win you £4,750.
0:36:01 > 0:36:05As always, you can choose your category from four options
0:36:05 > 0:36:06and here are those options.
0:36:06 > 0:36:08We have...
0:36:08 > 0:36:10Blackpool,
0:36:10 > 0:36:12Groups With Female Lead Singers,
0:36:12 > 0:36:14Scottish Sport
0:36:14 > 0:36:17and 20th Century Theatre.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20I'm leaning towards music, to be honest,
0:36:20 > 0:36:23because the three others don't particularly appeal.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25But the sigh you've just said suggests...
0:36:25 > 0:36:28No, for me it's Groups With Female Lead Singers.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31- OK, happy with that? - Yes, definitely.
0:36:31 > 0:36:33- That's what it's going to be, Richard.- OK, very best of luck.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35We'll give you three options, now.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37We're looking for any UK Top 40 singles
0:36:37 > 0:36:38by any of the following groups.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40By Texas,
0:36:40 > 0:36:43by The Pretenders
0:36:43 > 0:36:46or by Gladys Knight And The Pips.
0:36:46 > 0:36:50Any UK Top 40 singles by any of those three groups. Very best of luck.
0:36:50 > 0:36:51OK.
0:36:51 > 0:36:55As always, you've got up to 1 minute to come up with three answers
0:36:55 > 0:36:57and to win that jackpot of £4,750,
0:36:57 > 0:37:00all you have to do is find just one pointless answer among those three.
0:37:00 > 0:37:03The answers you provide can come from any of those categories.
0:37:03 > 0:37:05How you spread them across the categories is entirely up to you.
0:37:05 > 0:37:09- Are you ready?- We're ready. - Let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11There they are, your time starts now.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14- Have you heard of any of those bands?- I've heard of them all,
0:37:14 > 0:37:16I don't know anything about any of them!
0:37:16 > 0:37:18- LAUGHTER - OK, I thought you would say that,
0:37:18 > 0:37:22so I know some Pretenders singles, I know A Gladys Knight single...
0:37:23 > 0:37:26I could hum a Texas single, but I don't know what they're called.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28So it sounds like The Pretenders, then.
0:37:28 > 0:37:32I'll mention a few Pretenders singles. See if they spark anything.
0:37:32 > 0:37:35- Dad likes The Pretenders, doesn't he?- He loves Chrissie Hynde.
0:37:35 > 0:37:37He fancies her.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39Brass In Pocket. Um...
0:37:41 > 0:37:44Midnight Train To Georgia for Gladys Knight And The Pips.
0:37:44 > 0:37:46- I've heard of that song.- OK.
0:37:46 > 0:37:50There's that Pretenders Christmas one, 2,000 Miles.
0:37:50 > 0:37:55- Is Tattooed Love Boys a Pretenders song?- Oh, that's great,
0:37:55 > 0:37:57go for that. It doesn't matter,
0:37:57 > 0:38:00we don't want to be right, we want to be pointless.
0:38:00 > 0:38:03- That's one.- Ten seconds left.
0:38:03 > 0:38:05Brass In Pocket.
0:38:05 > 0:38:06Any Texas?
0:38:06 > 0:38:08No.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10Gladys...
0:38:11 > 0:38:14OK, that's your time up and I need your three answers.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16If you say which category you're answering, as well.
0:38:16 > 0:38:20So for Gladys Knight And The Pips, Midnight Train To Georgia.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22For The Pretenders, Brass In Pocket.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25And for The Pretenders as well, Tattooed Love Boys.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27Tattooed Love Boys.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29OK, there we are. Three answers.
0:38:29 > 0:38:30Of those three,
0:38:30 > 0:38:33which do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:33 > 0:38:37- I think the Tattooed Love Boys. - It's come out of nowhere for me.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40OK, we'll pop that last. Least likely to be pointless?
0:38:40 > 0:38:42- Gladys Knight, surely? - Midnight Train To Georgia, OK.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44We'll pop that first.
0:38:44 > 0:38:46Let's pop those answers up on the board in that order
0:38:46 > 0:38:48and here they are.
0:38:48 > 0:38:51We've got Midnight Train To Georgia, Brass In Pocket
0:38:51 > 0:38:53and Tattooed Love Boys.
0:38:55 > 0:38:56Well, very best of luck!
0:38:56 > 0:38:58Your first answer was Midnight Train To Georgia.
0:38:58 > 0:39:01You thought this was least likely to be pointless.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04But only one of them has to be pointless, remember,
0:39:04 > 0:39:06to win that jackpot. And if you do, it's £4,750.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09You've contributed quite a bit to that jackpot yourselves.
0:39:09 > 0:39:11What would you do with that, Jenny?
0:39:11 > 0:39:14Well, I have a younger son, Ben, who's a huge fan of the show,
0:39:14 > 0:39:18but is too young to be on the show, so I would share my bit with him.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20And I sing in a choir, we are
0:39:20 > 0:39:24a group of Games makers from the Olympics and we sing as a choir.
0:39:24 > 0:39:28- We are mainly fuelled by cake, so... - Much like us.
0:39:28 > 0:39:32- I would put a lot of that into cake. - Joe, how about you?
0:39:32 > 0:39:34Music festival tickets, something like that.
0:39:34 > 0:39:37Then maybe, I play guitar, and I could do with...
0:39:37 > 0:39:40Maybe a couple of tuitions to get Tattooed Love Boys...?
0:39:41 > 0:39:43Maybe I'll buy the Guitar Hero game
0:39:43 > 0:39:47- and take sweet vengeance on that song!- There you are!
0:39:47 > 0:39:51So we are looking in this case for Gladys Knight And The Pips songs.
0:39:51 > 0:39:52UK Top 40 hits.
0:39:52 > 0:39:55You said Midnight Train To Georgia, let's see if that's right,
0:39:55 > 0:39:57let's see how many people said it for £4,750.
0:39:57 > 0:39:59Is it pointless?
0:40:01 > 0:40:02Well, it's right.
0:40:03 > 0:40:06It just has to go all the way down to 0.
0:40:06 > 0:40:11If it does that, you leave here with £4,750, taking us into the teens...
0:40:11 > 0:40:13- Not quite into single figures. 10.- Not too bad.
0:40:13 > 0:40:15Not bad.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19Perfectly respectable score there.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22I thought it might have been higher than that, actually.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25That gives us a sort of idea about what our 100 people might
0:40:25 > 0:40:28know on this subject. We can take heart from that.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31Not a pointless answer. Only two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:40:31 > 0:40:35Your second answer, this time a Pretender's UK Top 40 single
0:40:35 > 0:40:37and you've gone for Brass In Pocket.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39Let's see if it's right, let's if it's pointless,
0:40:39 > 0:40:42let's see if it'll win you £4,750. Brass In Pocket.
0:40:45 > 0:40:46It's right.
0:40:47 > 0:40:51So, your first answer, Midnight Train To Georgia,
0:40:51 > 0:40:52took us down to 10.
0:40:52 > 0:40:54Brass In Pocket now taking us down through the 30s...
0:40:54 > 0:40:56Oh! 23.
0:40:56 > 0:40:59It's getting worse!
0:40:59 > 0:41:0123 for Brass In Pocket.
0:41:01 > 0:41:05Still not a pointless answer, so everything is now
0:41:05 > 0:41:08riding on that extraordinary song,
0:41:08 > 0:41:09Tattooed Love Boys.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13- Which just suddenly came to you, from nowhere.- Yes, I have no idea
0:41:13 > 0:41:16if it was a hit single or anything like that, but it's a song.
0:41:16 > 0:41:18We will find out. If it is...
0:41:18 > 0:41:20I mean, this is how pointless answers dawn on people,
0:41:20 > 0:41:23they just come into the back of their head there.
0:41:23 > 0:41:25It has to be right,
0:41:25 > 0:41:27it has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot of £4,750.
0:41:27 > 0:41:31Was Tattooed Love Boys a UK Top 40 hit for The Pretenders?
0:41:33 > 0:41:34No!
0:41:34 > 0:41:38- Bad luck.- Never mind. - Oh, I'm sorry!
0:41:38 > 0:41:41I'm afraid an incorrect answer. That is disappointing.
0:41:41 > 0:41:44I thought it was going to go... One of those pointless ones.
0:41:44 > 0:41:49You didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer which means you don't win today's jackpot.
0:41:49 > 0:41:52That will roll over on to the next show,
0:41:52 > 0:41:53but it's been great having you on the show.
0:41:53 > 0:41:57- You do of course get to take home a Pointless trophy as well.- Yes!
0:42:00 > 0:42:01Yes, that's really unlucky.
0:42:01 > 0:42:04You've played brilliantly throughout the show, I have to say.
0:42:04 > 0:42:06One mystery thing is Tattooed Love Boys,
0:42:06 > 0:42:08I don't think is a single anywhere.
0:42:08 > 0:42:10it's literally come out of your imagination!
0:42:12 > 0:42:13I'm joking, of course!
0:42:13 > 0:42:17It was a Pretenders song, it was on a Pretenders album, but was never a single, I'm afraid.
0:42:17 > 0:42:19You're absolutely right, it's on Guitar Hero.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22Let's take a look at some of the pointless answers.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25I had you worried there for a second, didn't I?!
0:42:25 > 0:42:28Texas UK Top 40 singles, these were all Top 40 singles.
0:42:28 > 0:42:31Getaway, In Demand, In Our Lifetime, also Tired Of Being Alone.
0:42:31 > 0:42:34Would have been a pointless answer.
0:42:34 > 0:42:37The Pretenders, some big hits. Human, I Go To Sleep.
0:42:37 > 0:42:40A beautiful cover of the Ray Davies song.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42If you don't know it, you should download it, it's lovely.
0:42:42 > 0:42:45Message Of Love and Night In My Veins also a pointless answer.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47Well done if you said any of those.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49And some big hits for Gladys Knight, as well.
0:42:49 > 0:42:52Baby Don't Change Your Mind, Come Back And Finish What You Started
0:42:52 > 0:42:53was a pointless answer.
0:42:53 > 0:42:56Help Me Make It Through The Night and Taste Of Bitter Love.
0:42:56 > 0:42:57Very well done if you got any of those.
0:42:57 > 0:43:00Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to you, Jenny and Joe.
0:43:00 > 0:43:03It's been lovely having you on the show, thank you so much for playing.
0:43:03 > 0:43:07- Jenny and Joe! - APPLAUSE
0:43:07 > 0:43:09Well, sadly Jenny and Joe didn't win the jackpot today,
0:43:09 > 0:43:12which means it rolls over on to the next show when we will be playing
0:43:12 > 0:43:14for £5,750.
0:43:17 > 0:43:19Join us then to see if someone can win it,
0:43:19 > 0:43:21- meanwhile it's goodbye from Richard...- Goodbye.
0:43:21 > 0:43:23And it's goodbye from me, goodbye.
