0:00:19 > 0:00:21APPLAUSE
0:00:21 > 0:00:22Thank you very much indeed!
0:00:22 > 0:00:25Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:25 > 0:00:27the show where the lowest scorers are the biggest winners.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29Let's meet today's players.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35- And couple number one. - Hi, I'm Andrew.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37This is my mum, Maitland, and we've come from London today.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Couple number two.
0:00:39 > 0:00:43Hello, I'm Linda, I'm from Bolton, and this is my sister, Sarah,
0:00:43 > 0:00:44who's from Cleveleys near Blackpool.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46- Couple number three. - Hello, I'm Tony.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49This is my lovely wife, Sharon, and we're from Leeds.
0:00:49 > 0:00:50And couple number four.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Steve. This is my friend, Joe, and we're from Worcester.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55And these are today's contestants.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Thanks very much. We'll find out more about you throughout the show.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03That just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Scraping around the discount bin of knowledge, hoping to bag a bargain,
0:01:06 > 0:01:10- it's my pointless friend, it's Richard.- Hiya.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12Hi, everybody. Hiya.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16- Good afternoon to you.- And to you.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19- Two jackpots in a row again we've given away.- Yeah.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22The boys from Essex won it. Did very well on a football question.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26We've only got one returning pair from that show, it's Sharon and Tony,
0:01:26 > 0:01:31who did very well in Round One then joined the 200 club in Round Two.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35And I think - I could be wrong - Maitland is our first Maitland ever.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37- That's good.- Do you think?- Yeah.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40It's not often, Maitland, that we get new names on the show,
0:01:40 > 0:01:41cos we've done so many.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44So thank you very much for perking up our day.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Brilliant, thanks, Richard. All our questions on Pointless have been put
0:01:50 > 0:01:51to 100 people before the show.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Our contestants must find the obscure answers
0:01:53 > 0:01:55those 100 people didn't get.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57Everyone's trying to find a pointless answer,
0:01:57 > 0:01:59an answer that none of our 100 people gave,
0:01:59 > 0:02:02and each time that happens we will add 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Ade and Mark won the jackpot last time
0:02:04 > 0:02:07so today's jackpot starts off back at £1,000.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16The pair with the highest score at the end of the round will be
0:02:16 > 0:02:19eliminated and there is no conferring during the round itself.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Our category for Round One today is...
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Words.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27It's a Words round. Good luck on podium one.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31Can you deicide in your pairs who's going to go first and second?
0:02:31 > 0:02:33And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38OK, let's find out what the question is.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:02:45 > 0:02:48Words ending in ERT.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51We're simply looking for any word which has its own entry
0:02:51 > 0:02:53in the Oxford Dictionary of English that ends ERT.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56No hyphenated words, proper nouns or anything like that.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00- Any word ending ERT. There's some nice pointless ones here.- Yeah.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03You've got that lovely glazed look on your face of a man
0:03:03 > 0:03:06- thinking of words that end ERT. - Yeah, yeah.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08Sorry?
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Thank you, Richard.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13So, Maitland and Andrew, you all drew lots before the show today
0:03:13 > 0:03:15and you are going to go first.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19- Maitland, welcome to the show. - Thank you.- Maitland, what do you do?
0:03:19 > 0:03:25- I am a Blue Badge tourist guide in London. So...- Blue Badge?- Yes.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29- The hallmark of a good tour guide. - Yes.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32What do you have to do to get your Blue Badge?
0:03:32 > 0:03:35You do two years training, ten exams,
0:03:35 > 0:03:39- written and practice... - Ten? How many hours are each exam?
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Depends. Two, two and a half.
0:03:42 > 0:03:47Three. You can be on a coach all afternoon on the microphone.
0:03:47 > 0:03:48- Wow.- I know.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51Now then, Maitland, words ending ERT.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55It's probably not the most ingenious
0:03:55 > 0:03:58but I thought of "introvert."
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Introvert, says Maitland. Let's see if it's right.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07It's absolutely right.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14APPLAUSE
0:04:14 > 0:04:1616.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Very well played on that first podium.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22The other 84 people knew it as well but didn't like to say.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28Now, Sarah, welcome to Pointless. What do you do?
0:04:28 > 0:04:32I took early retirement so these days I just play, mainly.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34What kind of play do you like to do?
0:04:34 > 0:04:37We walk every day to try and keep fit.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39- It's the best way. - Yeah.- They do say.
0:04:39 > 0:04:45- And I do puzzles, read, video games. And I also knit.- Good.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48Now, Sarah, what about words ending in ERT?
0:04:48 > 0:04:52I'm going to go with "inexpert."
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Ah, I love it when people play this round properly.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Inexpert, says Sarah.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Let's see if it is right. This sounds good to me.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Let's see how many people said "inexpert."
0:05:05 > 0:05:07It is right.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Maitland scored 16.
0:05:11 > 0:05:12We've passed that.
0:05:12 > 0:05:131!
0:05:13 > 0:05:15APPLAUSE
0:05:15 > 0:05:19Very well done, Sarah. Great start to the show.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21That's a brilliant answer, very well played.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23"INNexpert" is someone who knows a lot about pubs.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30Now, Sharon, welcome back to the show. Remind us, what do you do?
0:05:30 > 0:05:33I work for a brewery, in the telesales department,
0:05:33 > 0:05:36ringing pubs and clubs and getting their orders.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40It's just fun, isn't it? From dawn till dusk, that's just a fun job.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Now, what about words ending ERT?
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Oh...I'm really not sure about this but I'm going to risk it
0:05:48 > 0:05:51and say "Camembert."
0:05:51 > 0:05:52Oh!
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Oh, Tony says, "Oh!"
0:05:55 > 0:05:59- I wasn't expecting that.- I thought she should answer CAERPHILLY...
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Oh, that is good. That's good.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05That's good.
0:06:05 > 0:06:06Camembert.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10Let's see if Camembert is right, let's see how many people said it.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer
0:06:18 > 0:06:21and you will discover why in about two seconds.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24- 100 points it scored you.- It's a proper noun, I'm afraid, Camembert.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28- It's a brave guess, though.- And a great cheese. Thanks very much.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31- Now, Steve, welcome to the show. Good to have you here.- Thank you.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34- Where have you come from? - From Worcester in the Midlands.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36What do you do there, Steve?
0:06:36 > 0:06:39I'm a town centre manager for a town in a district called Wychavon.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42So, the town's Pershore, a nice Georgian market town.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Pershore. And you manage the centre of that town?
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Probably sounds a bit more glamorous...
0:06:46 > 0:06:49No, that sounds plenty glamorous, that sounds great.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51How long have you done it for?
0:06:51 > 0:06:53- Two and a half years now, this role. - Is that fun?- It is.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57- Challenging at the moment.- Well, it's a big challenge, yeah.- But fun.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01Now, Steve, what are you going to go for? Words ending ERT.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03I think I'm going to go for a variant on the first answer,
0:07:03 > 0:07:05so "extrovert."
0:07:05 > 0:07:06Extrovert.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11Be interesting to see if more people said that than introvert.
0:07:11 > 0:07:12How many people said extrovert?
0:07:12 > 0:07:15I think we know it's right - how many people said it?
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Well, 16 was our high score.
0:07:23 > 0:07:2517! There we are.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28APPLAUSE
0:07:28 > 0:07:32How poetic that is. Fantastic. 17 for "extrovert."
0:07:32 > 0:07:3516 said introvert, 17 said extrovert, so one extra "vert."
0:07:37 > 0:07:40- Good.- Thanks. - We're halfway through the round.
0:07:40 > 0:07:41Let's take a look at those scores.
0:07:41 > 0:07:431, the best score of that pass. Well done, Sarah.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Cracking answer there.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47That puts you and Linda in a strong position.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Then up to 16, where we find Maitland and Andrew.
0:07:50 > 0:07:5117, Steve and Joe.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55And then all the way up to 100, Sharon, I'm sorry.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59Oh, Camembert. Got me thinking. Mmm.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02So, yes, Tony, who knows what's going to happen in the next pass,
0:08:02 > 0:08:04but at the very least we require a low score from you.
0:08:04 > 0:08:05So best of luck with that.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08Can the second players please step up to the podium.
0:08:11 > 0:08:16- So, Joe, welcome to the show. And you're also from Worcester.- Yeah.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20- An old pal of Steve's.- Yeah. - How long have you known each other?
0:08:20 > 0:08:2313 years, since we were 11. High school, we first met.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Excellent. What do you do, Joe?
0:08:25 > 0:08:28I work for a sports management company, in the marketing team,
0:08:28 > 0:08:33so my main responsibility is looking after the company website.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Good stuff. So, plenty of sport expertise,
0:08:35 > 0:08:37should that come up today.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41Now, words ending ERT. You're in pretty good shape there.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Tony and Sharon have helped you out there by scoring 100,
0:08:44 > 0:08:47so if you can score 82 or less, you're home and dry.
0:08:48 > 0:08:53I'm going to play it safe. I'm going to go with "alert."
0:08:54 > 0:08:57Wow, that's safe. Boy, oh, boy.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01You know houses? It's safer than that.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03OK, alert, says Joe.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Perfectly good answer. There's your red line.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08If you get below that, you're through to the next round.
0:09:10 > 0:09:11Well done.
0:09:11 > 0:09:12You're through.
0:09:14 > 0:09:1645.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18APPLAUSE
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Takes your total up to 62.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22- Alert, you know what that means. - I do.- Yeah.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27- Tony.- Yeah.- Yeah.- Yeah.- Oh, Tony.
0:09:27 > 0:09:32Did you...? What was going through your mind when she said Camembert?
0:09:32 > 0:09:35I thought, "Yeah, that's a good answer."
0:09:35 > 0:09:37I thought, "She's done well."
0:09:37 > 0:09:40But my faith was misplaced again.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Do you know what's going through my mind?
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Crackers.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48I'm thinking "cracker" as well. But, yeah.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52Right, OK. I've got one that'll be low but will it be low enough?
0:09:52 > 0:09:55And one that I'm pretty sure will be hyphenated.
0:09:55 > 0:09:56"Invert."
0:09:56 > 0:09:58- Invert?- Yeah.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00Invert, says Tony. Let's see if it's right.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02No red line for you, as you're the high scorers.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Wow, 9.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15APPLAUSE
0:10:15 > 0:10:18- Good answer there. - Yeah, given yourself a chance.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22"Invert" - to put upside down or in the opposite position.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26- Thanks very much indeed. Linda, welcome to the show.- Thank you.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29- What do you do, Linda?- I'm retired. - What did you do, Linda?
0:10:29 > 0:10:31I used to be a trainer at a bank.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Training new members of staff and existing staff in new systems
0:10:34 > 0:10:38- and things.- What do you fill your retirement with?
0:10:38 > 0:10:41I do all the normal things. I'm a lady that lunches,
0:10:41 > 0:10:45I like to read, etc. And I'm also a volunteer at our local theatre,
0:10:45 > 0:10:47The Octagon Theatre in Bolton.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49- And how's that going? - It's going very well.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51What did you oversee there?
0:10:51 > 0:10:55Well, I'm a meeter and greeter, so I welcome people into the theatre,
0:10:55 > 0:10:58show them where the doors are, etc.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01A lot of it is people wanting to know where the toilets are.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04- Those are the most important doors. - They are.- Yes.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Now then, Linda, there you are on 1.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09You are thorough to the next round, even if you score 100.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13What better opportunity to find...
0:11:13 > 0:11:16- I mean, Sarah managed to get 1. - I know.
0:11:16 > 0:11:17I think you can do better than that.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20- Really?- I think you can.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24I think you've got a great answer that will £250 to the jackpot.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27A couple of the ones that I wanted have gone.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29So I'm going to try "subvert."
0:11:29 > 0:11:34Subvert. Subvert. Can I just say now,
0:11:34 > 0:11:37that was one of mine. So, um, just...
0:11:37 > 0:11:41I mean, I have another, which I think's good.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44But "subvert." No red line as you're already through.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46Let's see if it's right.
0:11:48 > 0:11:49It's good.
0:11:55 > 0:11:568.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59APPLAUSE
0:11:59 > 0:12:02That is the definition of patronising.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05Sarah leant in and said, "Well done," and clapped.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09Sarah who scored 1. Takes your total up to 9. Very well done, Linda.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13- Lovely low score.- Yeah, you can tell you're sisters, that's for sure.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15That's such a sister thing to do.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19- "Oh, well done."- "Yeah, that scored eight times as much as mine..."
0:12:19 > 0:12:22"You're on 800% of my score currently,
0:12:22 > 0:12:25"it's going to be difficult to catch me up but it's really, really good.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27"Especially considering what you were like at school.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30"I'm AMAZED you did that.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32"Ended in ERT and everything."
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Yeah, you should play Ludo with her.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39Andrew, welcome to Pointless. Great to have you here. What do you do?
0:12:39 > 0:12:43I'm currently a student in Bath, doing civil engineering.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45That's great. And what do you like doing in your spare time?
0:12:45 > 0:12:50- I've just passed as a referee, a football referee, so...- Wow.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54- That's quite exciting.- Yeah. - What led you into refereeing?
0:12:54 > 0:12:57That's...that's quite punchy, isn't it?
0:12:57 > 0:12:59I'm no good with the ball at my feet
0:12:59 > 0:13:02so I figured I might as well try and send people off instead.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05Right, OK. Richard does quite a lot of refereeing on this show.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07I have done recently.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10I've given a couple of yellow cards to people for various misdemeanours.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14- So be careful.- Yeah, we've had verbal warnings and everything.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16It's been...it's been fun.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18We've had a couple of yellow cards for people saying,
0:13:18 > 0:13:20"I know nothing about this," and getting a good answer.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23Doing that repeatedly has seen yellow cards.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25We nearly gave a yellow card for,
0:13:25 > 0:13:29"Oh, that's a bit before my time. These are a bit before my time."
0:13:29 > 0:13:32- So, just to warn you, any of that stuff and....- Yeah.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36So, right, Andrew, there we are. You're on 16.
0:13:36 > 0:13:41109 is the high score, so 92 or less basically gets your through.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44Words ending in ERT was a little bit before my time...
0:13:47 > 0:13:50- That's good.- Yeah, I like that.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54I can laugh at that. As a referee, I can laugh at that.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57Yeah, yeah. And then make a little note in your book.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01Just write the name Andrew on my book there.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04I'm going to go for "inert."
0:14:04 > 0:14:05- Inert.- Inert.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08Let's see how far down the column "inert" sends us.
0:14:08 > 0:14:09There's your red line.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12It's right and you're through.
0:14:15 > 0:14:1731.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19APPLAUSE
0:14:19 > 0:14:2131 takes your total up to 47.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23- Now, do you have an answer?- I do.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26If I was in Joe's position I felt I could take a bit of a risk.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28I'd have gone for "reinsert."
0:14:28 > 0:14:291 point.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Good answer.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33Very good. That all you got?
0:14:33 > 0:14:36- I had "revert." - Would have scored you 18 points.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40Oh, for heaven's sake. How embarrassing.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43- Can you imagine?- Yeah.- Shall we take a look at the pointless answers?- No.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46- Yeah, we must, we must. - Let's take a look.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48See if anyone at home got these.
0:14:48 > 0:14:53Bashert, that's a Jewish word for your soul mate.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Blipvert - very, very short advert.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57Couvert - another word for cover
0:14:57 > 0:14:59but it counts as an English word for various reasons.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03You could have had...
0:15:03 > 0:15:05LAUGHTER
0:15:05 > 0:15:08Durchkomponiert is a type of song.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11- Guess what language that comes from. - Um...
0:15:11 > 0:15:15- Is it from Dutch?- It's from German. A beautiful language, isn't it?
0:15:15 > 0:15:19- It is pretty.- Halbert, which is a spear and battleaxe.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Interconvert...
0:15:21 > 0:15:23which is to change two things into each other.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25To obvert.
0:15:25 > 0:15:30Preconcert. And sievert, which is from physics. It's a measurement.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Very well done if you said any of those.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Let's take a look at the top three.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36We've already seen the top one.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39In-ert - shake it all abert. 31.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41- Pert, 38.- Always good.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45And alert is actually the highest scorer of all. 45 points.
0:15:45 > 0:15:46Thank you, Richard.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49So, at the end of our first round, I'm afraid the pair heading home,
0:15:49 > 0:15:54with a high score of 109, it's our returning pair, the only one we had.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58And we send you away. I'm so sorry, Sharon. Lovely low score from Tony.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Lovely idea from you.
0:16:00 > 0:16:05But...I'm afraid Camembert, we couldn't allow it.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08It's been lovely having you on both shows. Thank you for playing.
0:16:08 > 0:16:09Tony and Sharon.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11APPLAUSE
0:16:11 > 0:16:14But for the remaining three pairs it's now time for Round Two.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20So three pairs remain.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24At the end of this round, we have to say goodbye to another pair.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26I wouldn't like to say which pair that might be.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29Certainly Linda and Sarah seem to be...
0:16:29 > 0:16:31They seem to know what they're doing. Some lovely low scores.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34I detect maybe a little bit of competition between you.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38- Oh, yes.- I don't know where I was getting that from but just maybe.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42Best of luck to all three pairs. Our category for Round Two is...
0:16:45 > 0:16:49Can you all decide who's going to go first, who's going to go second.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57OK, the question concerns...
0:17:00 > 0:17:01Football managers. Richard.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04We're going to give you six clues on each pass to football managers
0:17:04 > 0:17:07or coaches. You have to give us the name of the manager or coach, please.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10There's going to be 12 in all to have a go at at home.
0:17:10 > 0:17:11Very, very best of luck.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15It's one of those rounds that's damage limitation for some people.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Yes. I think Joe very much in his element here, I'd like to think.
0:17:17 > 0:17:22OK, we are looking for the football managers described by these clues.
0:17:22 > 0:17:23Here is our first board of six.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45I'll read those all one last time.
0:18:03 > 0:18:07There we are, six clues to facts about football managers.
0:18:07 > 0:18:08Now, Maitland...
0:18:08 > 0:18:09SHE SNIGGERS
0:18:09 > 0:18:12- Hello.- I was going to say, "Is this a good round for you?"
0:18:12 > 0:18:14I think I know the answer to that.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16Maybe no, is the answer to that one.
0:18:16 > 0:18:21- Other than the obvious. - You get first bite, though.- OK.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24I am just going to go for the very obvious - the Frenchman
0:18:24 > 0:18:28who took over at Arsenal and just say Arsene Wenger,
0:18:28 > 0:18:31- cos he's my mum's favourite. - Arsene Wenger.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said Arsene Wenger.
0:18:37 > 0:18:38It's right.
0:18:40 > 0:18:4259.
0:18:42 > 0:18:43APPLAUSE
0:18:46 > 0:18:50He's my favourite as well, for a non-Fulham manager.
0:18:50 > 0:18:51He is a brilliant man.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53Very bright, very thoughtful. An amazing coach.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56What he's done with that club with the resources he's had...
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Absolutely extraordinary manager.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01Thank you, Richard. Linda. Now...
0:19:02 > 0:19:05I suspect you're going to surprise us here
0:19:05 > 0:19:08and be very, very sharp on your football managers.
0:19:08 > 0:19:12I know...one that I know is right. And I know a dodgy one.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14I know a few of those.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19I think the won who won the World Cup as a player...
0:19:19 > 0:19:22I think that's Franz Beckenbauer.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Franz Beckenbauer, says Linda.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said that.
0:19:28 > 0:19:29It is right.
0:19:31 > 0:19:32You passed 59.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35Still going down.
0:19:35 > 0:19:3613. Well done, Linda.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39APPLAUSE
0:19:39 > 0:19:40Very impressive.
0:19:40 > 0:19:44The only man to have captained and managed World Cup-winning teams.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46At time of recording, anyway.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49Thanks, Richard. Now, Steve.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51You're the last person to have this board.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53This could be your moment of glory.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57You can take us through the board and fill in all the blanks.
0:19:57 > 0:19:58Quite appropriately, I think
0:19:58 > 0:20:01it's a case of tactics for this one, really.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04Top one, obviously, Sir Alf Ramsey.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08Manager, Aston Villa... Could take a stab at that.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11Ron Atkinson? Or was he still at United? Not too sure with that one.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Not sure about the Liverpool one.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16So I'll go for Brian Clough with the Leeds United,
0:20:16 > 0:20:18hoping that too many people
0:20:18 > 0:20:21hadn't seen the various books and movies there was on it.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24OK, you're going to say Brian Clough. Let's see if that's right,
0:20:24 > 0:20:26let's see how many of our 100 people said Brian Clough.
0:20:29 > 0:20:30It's right.
0:20:30 > 0:20:3359 is our high score - you've passed that.
0:20:33 > 0:20:3513 is our low score.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37You don't quite pass that but you're down quite close to it.
0:20:37 > 0:20:38Very well done.
0:20:40 > 0:20:41Well played, Steve.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45Yeah, the film and the book The Damned United based on those 44 days.
0:20:45 > 0:20:46Have you seen it?
0:20:46 > 0:20:48- No, I haven't.- It's really good.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50They'd won the league the last year and the first thing he does,
0:20:50 > 0:20:53he tells them all is to take their medals and put them in the bin.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56He said, "You didn't win them fairly."
0:20:56 > 0:20:57Oohhh.
0:20:57 > 0:21:02And 44 days later he was off. Who would have thought?
0:21:02 > 0:21:05You're right about Sir Alf Ramsey.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07Surprisingly low score, actually.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09Sir Alf, he would've scored you 27.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11Now, the Bill Shankly answer,
0:21:11 > 0:21:14Bob Paisley took over from Bill Shankly.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18Another amazing manger. Both of them, Shankly and Paisley.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20And he would have scored you...
0:21:20 > 0:21:226 points, would've been a good answer.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24The Aston Villa manager is a pointless answer
0:21:24 > 0:21:28cos Ron Saunders was the manager when they started that campaign,
0:21:28 > 0:21:30and halfway through the season his assistant took over
0:21:30 > 0:21:32and it was Tony Barton.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35A pointless answer. Very well played if you said that.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39Thanks, Richard. Let's take a look at those scores.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42Linda and Sarah looking very strong
0:21:42 > 0:21:44on 13 after that excellent answer.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46Then up to 18 where we find Steve and Joe.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49Then 59, Maitland and Andrew. Well, not bad.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52You did it, you got through, it's all fine. No mistakes.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55Can the second players please step up to the podium.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01OK, let's put six more clues up on the board. Here they come.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29I'll read those all one last time.
0:22:52 > 0:22:53Remember, Joe,
0:22:53 > 0:22:57we're looking for the football managers described by these clues.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00You're going to try and find the lowest-scoring one you can.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04I'm going to go with what I think will be a lowish answer,
0:23:04 > 0:23:06and that's the ex-Newcastle manager.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08I'm going to go with Kevin Keegan.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10Kevin Keegan, says Joe.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13The high scorers at the moment are Andrew and Maitland on 59.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15There's your red line. If you get below that
0:23:15 > 0:23:17you're in the head-to-head.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19How many of our 100 said Kevin Keegan?
0:23:21 > 0:23:22It's right.
0:23:25 > 0:23:26And you're through, well done.
0:23:26 > 0:23:30APPLAUSE
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Takes your total up to 49.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35Yeah, honestly, if you haven't seen it, worth YouTubing.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39One of the funniest television clips of all time.
0:23:39 > 0:23:40And they didn't beat them.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43They didn't beat them.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47Sarah, Linda did very well, didn't she?
0:23:47 > 0:23:49There you are on 13.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51The high scorers still Andrew and Maitland on 59,
0:23:51 > 0:23:54so 45 or less sees you into the head-to-head.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57OK, my mind's gone completely blank on one that I should know,
0:23:57 > 0:24:00and I was going to go for Kevin Keegan.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04So I'll have to say,
0:24:04 > 0:24:07Spaniard appointed Bayern Munich manager, Rafa Benitez.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11Rafa Benitez, says Sarah. Let's see if that's right.
0:24:11 > 0:24:12Here's your red line.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15Get below that and you are through to the next round.
0:24:19 > 0:24:20Ooh!
0:24:22 > 0:24:25That, I'm afraid, is an incorrect answer.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29Scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 113.
0:24:29 > 0:24:30Sorry, Sarah.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32I'll give you the correct answer at the end of the pass.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36- Linda looked silently delighted when you got it wrong.- No!
0:24:36 > 0:24:38I want a trophy.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40A little bit of her was, wasn't it?
0:24:40 > 0:24:42Now, Andrew.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44That's what we call a lifeline, isn't it?
0:24:44 > 0:24:46There you are, 59.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48The high scorers now Sarah and Linda on 113,
0:24:48 > 0:24:51so 53 or less sees you through.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Do you think you can talk us through this board?
0:24:53 > 0:24:56I know the top three, including Kevin Keegan.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00The second one, the Italian, Fabio Capello.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03The bottom three I'd have to have a guess at.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06Graham Taylor? But that's just a former England manager.
0:25:06 > 0:25:10That's a guess. But I'm going to hope that it is low enough
0:25:10 > 0:25:13and say the same answer, Spaniard appointed Bayern Munich manager,
0:25:13 > 0:25:16and I'm going to say Pep Guardiola.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Pep Guardiola, says Andrew. Let's see if that's right
0:25:18 > 0:25:22and if it is, how many of 100 people said that. There's your red line.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Very well done.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32That's a very good answer - 10.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35Very well done indeed, Andrew. That takes your total up to 69.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Sees you into the head-to-head.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41Good end to the round, Andrew. Won two Champions Leagues with Barcelona
0:25:41 > 0:25:45then took a year out, then turned up at Bayern Munich.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48The Italian, you're right, it was Fabio Capello.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51Would've scored you 29 points.
0:25:51 > 0:25:56The former England manager, not Graham Taylor, it's Terry Venables.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58Of course it was.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01Who would do that? It was Terry, of course.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03Would've scored you 2.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06The Celtic head coach who was sacked...
0:26:06 > 0:26:08was John Barnes.
0:26:08 > 0:26:09Would've scored you 5 points.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12He was sacked just after they lost to Inverness Caledonian Thistle
0:26:12 > 0:26:15in the cup, which is where the very famous
0:26:15 > 0:26:18"Super Cally Go Ballistic, Celtic Are Atrocious" comes from.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22But it was actually based on a Liverpool headline many years before
0:26:22 > 0:26:24when Ian Callaghan played very well against QPR.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28And that was "Super Cally Goes Ballistic, QPR Atrocious."
0:26:28 > 0:26:30- Oh, very good. - So it's a direct lift.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32And the coach of France was Aime Jacquet.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34And that's a pointless answer,
0:26:34 > 0:26:36so very well done if you said that. Terrific answer.
0:26:36 > 0:26:37Thanks, Richard.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40So at the end of our second round, the pair heading home
0:26:40 > 0:26:44with a high score of 113 are our sisters, Sarah and Linda.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48Lovely low scoring in the first pass there, and...
0:26:48 > 0:26:50Stick to Ludo instead of football.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52We do support Bolton Wanderers,
0:26:52 > 0:26:56so we're used to going out on football rounds.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58We look forward to seeing you next time,
0:26:58 > 0:27:00it's been lovely having you on the show.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02APPLAUSE
0:27:02 > 0:27:05But for the remaining two pairs it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12Congratulations, Steve and Joe, Maitland and Andrew,
0:27:12 > 0:27:15you're now one step closer to the final and a chance to play for
0:27:15 > 0:27:17our jackpot, which currently stands at £1,000.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20We have to decide who's going to play for the money
0:27:20 > 0:27:22and to do that you are now going to go head-to-head.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25You are now allowed to confer before you give your answers and
0:27:25 > 0:27:28the first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31You've seen off our only returning pair.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33Neither of you has been this far before.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35So, yes, I think this is going to be very close.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37Only five points between you on aggregate.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47OK, here comes your first question, and it concerns...
0:27:50 > 0:27:53- Richard.- Going to show you five posters now for Oscar-winning films
0:27:53 > 0:27:56but we've removed the titles from the posters.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58Can you tell us the names of the films, please?
0:27:58 > 0:27:59OK, thanks, Richard.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02Let's reveal our five posters. And here they come.
0:28:23 > 0:28:27There we are, five film posters.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30Steve and Joe, you've played best throughout the show,
0:28:30 > 0:28:32so you will go first.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34THEY WHISPER
0:28:42 > 0:28:45I've got two answers for E, basically.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48I'm going to go with...
0:28:48 > 0:28:51American Beauty.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54You're saying American Beauty for E.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58Maitland and Andrew.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00Do you want to talk us through the board?
0:29:00 > 0:29:04OK. A, I think is Argo.
0:29:04 > 0:29:09B, I guess, looks maybe a bit West Side Story or something.
0:29:09 > 0:29:13- C, not got a clue(!) - Yeah, no idea(!)
0:29:13 > 0:29:16D is Silence Of The Lambs.
0:29:16 > 0:29:21- And we're pretty sure on E as well. - So what do you want to go for?
0:29:21 > 0:29:25- A...people wouldn't get the poster. - Yeah, do you want to do A, then?
0:29:25 > 0:29:28- OK.- We're going to go for A, Argo.
0:29:28 > 0:29:29A, Argo.
0:29:29 > 0:29:31We have American Beauty and Argo.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33Steve and Joe said American Beauty.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35Let's see if that's right
0:29:35 > 0:29:38and, if it is, how many people said American Beauty.
0:29:40 > 0:29:41It's right.
0:29:45 > 0:29:4637.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49- APPLAUSE - Not bad.
0:29:50 > 0:29:56Now, Maitland and Andrew. You have said that A is Argo.
0:29:56 > 0:29:57Let's see if that's right
0:29:57 > 0:30:01and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Argo.
0:30:03 > 0:30:04It is Argo.
0:30:05 > 0:30:07Has to beat 37...
0:30:07 > 0:30:08and it does.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12- Oh! - APPLAUSE
0:30:12 > 0:30:14One away from pointless. Look at that.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16That's a fantastic answer
0:30:16 > 0:30:19and it means after one question you are up 1-0.
0:30:19 > 0:30:23Well played, very small score for that. Great film, Argo, isn't it?
0:30:23 > 0:30:26B, you were right, was West Side Story.
0:30:27 > 0:30:28Would've scored you 23.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32C is The Sound Of Music.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34A big score, though - 77 for that.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37And D, as I think you knew,
0:30:37 > 0:30:39was Silence Of The Lambs.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41And that would've scored you...
0:30:41 > 0:30:4359.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45Thank you, Richard. We're on to our second question.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48Maitland and Andrew, you will get to answer this one first,
0:30:48 > 0:30:52but Steve and Joe, you have to win it, so best of luck. It concerns...
0:30:56 > 0:30:58Simply five clues to facts to the USA.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00Which is the most obscure answer?
0:31:00 > 0:31:04Thanks very much. OK, let's reveal our five clues. We've got...
0:31:22 > 0:31:23I'll read those again.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41There you are, five clues to facts about the United States.
0:31:41 > 0:31:45Maitland and Andrew, you will go first.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47Well, we...
0:31:47 > 0:31:51know not all of them, so we are going to go with what we think
0:31:51 > 0:31:57might be the least obvious, which is the US state surrounded by ocean -
0:31:57 > 0:31:58Hawaii.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01Hawaii, say Maitland and Andrew.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04Steve and Joe, do you want to talk us through the board?
0:32:04 > 0:32:05Um...
0:32:07 > 0:32:11Number of US states is either 51 or 52. Or 50. Not really sure.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13It seems to...change.
0:32:13 > 0:32:17So I'm going to leave that one alone. Steve, do you know any?
0:32:17 > 0:32:21Date, I'm guessing, is the 4th of July.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23Bush...senior. Let's go with...
0:32:23 > 0:32:25- Shall we go with four Georges?- Yeah.
0:32:25 > 0:32:29We'll go with number of presidents who have had the first name George,
0:32:29 > 0:32:30four.
0:32:30 > 0:32:33Four, say and Steve and Joe. Four Georges.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35So we have Hawaii and we have four Georges.
0:32:35 > 0:32:38Maitland and Andrew said Hawaii. Let's see if that's right
0:32:38 > 0:32:40and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:32:43 > 0:32:44It is right.
0:32:45 > 0:32:4762.
0:32:47 > 0:32:51APPLAUSE
0:32:51 > 0:32:5762. Steve and Joe, that's quite a high score there.
0:32:57 > 0:33:01If you're right, you ought to beat that.
0:33:01 > 0:33:05- Yeah.- Let's find out. Have there been four presidents called George?
0:33:09 > 0:33:11Bad luck, Steve and Joe. I'm sorry.
0:33:11 > 0:33:16That means, Maitland and Andrew, you're through to the final, 2-0.
0:33:16 > 0:33:18Unlucky, Steve and Joe,
0:33:18 > 0:33:21you just did exactly what everybody at home has just done.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23Everyone would have gone,
0:33:23 > 0:33:28"Well, George Washington, George Bush Senior and Junior, so that's three.
0:33:28 > 0:33:31"There's a long time in-between so it's got to be four or five,
0:33:31 > 0:33:32"possibly six."
0:33:32 > 0:33:33The answer's three.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36It's just the three of them.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39It would have scored 25 points.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43The number of US states...
0:33:43 > 0:33:49You said it changes a lot. Hasn't changed for 54 years.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51- Due one, then.- But it's 50.
0:33:51 > 0:33:53Would've scored you 39 points.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56The date on which annual Independence Day holiday is celebrated,
0:33:56 > 0:33:58it's the 4th of July.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00Big scorer, though - would've scored 73.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02And the first serving president to travel outside the US,
0:34:02 > 0:34:06also the first US President to travel in a motorcar and an aeroplane -
0:34:06 > 0:34:07Theodore Roosevelt.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11Would have scored 1 point.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13Very well done if you said that at home.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16OK, thank you, Richard.
0:34:16 > 0:34:20The pair leaving us, but you're leaving us a bit wiser -
0:34:20 > 0:34:22we're all a little bit wiser now.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24We will see you next time,
0:34:24 > 0:34:26and on the evidence of how you played today,
0:34:26 > 0:34:29not only with your good answering but...you had the nerve to
0:34:29 > 0:34:32stick with...to take some pretty good gambles there.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34I think we'll expect great things when we see you back here.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37Thanks very much for playing, Steve and Joe.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40APPLAUSE
0:34:40 > 0:34:43But, for Maitland and Andrew, it's now time for our Pointless Final.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49Congratulations, you fought off all the competition
0:34:49 > 0:34:52and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:00 > 0:35:04At the end of today's who, the jackpot stands at £1,000.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06You've done incredibly well.
0:35:06 > 0:35:09Lovely low scoring the whole way through the show.
0:35:09 > 0:35:11You have four options to choose from and here they are.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23LAUGHTER
0:35:23 > 0:35:25Whooppee(!)
0:35:27 > 0:35:29- Which one...?- European Politics.
0:35:29 > 0:35:32Think it's worth the risk?
0:35:32 > 0:35:35I know nothing about European politics.
0:35:35 > 0:35:39- I'd go for...- European politics? - That's cos I hate all of the others.
0:35:39 > 0:35:44- OK, well I won't be much help. - No, you...- No, go on, then. Go, go.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46OK, we're going to say European Politics.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48LAUGHTER
0:35:48 > 0:35:52- Against my best wishes.- And mine.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57Wow. You have just...
0:35:57 > 0:36:01In microcosm, that is exactly how committees work, isn't it?
0:36:01 > 0:36:03That's extraordinary.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06Maitland really didn't want it and Andrew really didn't want it,
0:36:06 > 0:36:09so they've gone for European Politics.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11Cos it can't be any worse, can it?
0:36:11 > 0:36:13Well, let's find out. Richard.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15It's not just how committees work,
0:36:15 > 0:36:18it's how European politics works as well.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21Yeah, we're looking for anything in the following three categories.
0:36:21 > 0:36:25We're looking for any Prime Minister of Spain from November 1975
0:36:25 > 0:36:28through to October 2013.
0:36:28 > 0:36:32We're looking for any French Prime Minister from January 2000
0:36:32 > 0:36:34to October 2013.
0:36:34 > 0:36:39Or we're looking for any UK MEP as of October 2013, so any MEP
0:36:39 > 0:36:43based in the European Parliament as a representative of the United Kingdom
0:36:43 > 0:36:44in October 2013.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46Very, very best of luck.
0:36:46 > 0:36:48Thank you very much indeed.
0:36:48 > 0:36:52Now, you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55To win that jackpot all you need to do is find one pointless answer.
0:36:55 > 0:36:58The answers can come from any of these categories.
0:36:58 > 0:37:00It's up to you how you spread them -
0:37:00 > 0:37:02they can all come from one of them, or one from each,
0:37:02 > 0:37:05two from one, it's entirely down to you.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07- Are you ready?- No.- No.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12Your time starts now.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15OK, Francois Hollande and Nicolas Sarkozy.
0:37:15 > 0:37:18I think we'll have to go for UK MEP. There must be a BNP one.
0:37:18 > 0:37:23- So, like, Nick Griffin.- What, in the European Parliament?- Yeah.
0:37:23 > 0:37:27- Seriously?- Yeah, I think he is. There's a Green...
0:37:27 > 0:37:28Do the Scottish ones count?
0:37:28 > 0:37:30I think there was Jenny Green or something.
0:37:30 > 0:37:34- She's Green.- Who's the head of Green Party?- I don't know.
0:37:34 > 0:37:38- Do you know a Prime Minister of Spain?- No.- No, I don't, either.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41UK Members of the European Parliament.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43There used to be Winnie Ewing years ago.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45But she wouldn't be there any more now.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48- Is he an MP?- Who?- Jacob Hogg-Rees. - Never heard of him.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50He was on Have I Got News For You. Let's go for him.
0:37:50 > 0:37:52You could try that.
0:37:52 > 0:37:56- Nick Griffin.- Seriously? - I think he is.- Well, fair enough.
0:37:56 > 0:37:58And then you can go for...
0:37:58 > 0:38:01Prime ministers of France. Who was the very...as opposed to...
0:38:01 > 0:38:02Ten seconds left.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05Who was the very debonair one?
0:38:05 > 0:38:07- Don't ask me.- No, OK, fair enough.
0:38:07 > 0:38:11Are we just doing UK members of the...? I'll say a Prime Minister.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14OK, that's your time up. I now need your three answers.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16Did you enjoy that round?
0:38:16 > 0:38:19- Loved it, didn't you? It was the best thing we could have done.- Yeah.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23What are you going to say?
0:38:23 > 0:38:27We're going to go for UK members of the European Parliament.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29Two UK members.
0:38:29 > 0:38:33- OK.- And one French Prime Minister.
0:38:33 > 0:38:35What are you going to say?
0:38:35 > 0:38:37OK, the two UK members of Parliament,
0:38:37 > 0:38:41we're going to go for Nick Griffin and Jacob Hogg-Rees.
0:38:41 > 0:38:45- And Jacob Hogg-Rees? - Jacob Hogg-Rees.- OK.
0:38:45 > 0:38:49- And what's your third answer? - Nicolas Sarkozy.
0:38:49 > 0:38:51Nicolas Sarkozy.
0:38:51 > 0:38:55OK, there we are. Of those three answers,
0:38:55 > 0:38:58which of those do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:58 > 0:39:01- Mr Hogg...- Mr Hogg-Rees. - OK, Mr Hogg-Rees.
0:39:01 > 0:39:05Sounds delicious. I've love a Hogg-Rees.
0:39:05 > 0:39:08OK, we'll put Jacob Hogg-Rees last.
0:39:08 > 0:39:10Which is your least likely to be...?
0:39:10 > 0:39:12Well, Sarkozy, but he could have been the president,
0:39:12 > 0:39:15- not the Prime Minister. - We'll put Sarkozy first.
0:39:15 > 0:39:17And then, in the middle, we'll pop Nick Griffin.
0:39:17 > 0:39:20Never been in the middle before, has he?
0:39:20 > 0:39:23OK, let's pop those answers up on the board in that order.
0:39:30 > 0:39:34Very, very best of luck. Your first answer was Nicolas Sarkozy.
0:39:34 > 0:39:37Only one of these answers has to be pointless, remember.
0:39:37 > 0:39:39Let's say one of them is and you win the jackpot,
0:39:39 > 0:39:41what would you do with that?
0:39:41 > 0:39:46My son would probably like me to share my share with him,
0:39:46 > 0:39:47but I wouldn't do that.
0:39:47 > 0:39:51I think I would run off to Ascot and put it on the 2:30 or something.
0:39:51 > 0:39:56Your son, Andrew, would expect to get 75%?
0:39:56 > 0:40:00- At the very least. - At the very least, yeah.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03He would plead student life, you see?
0:40:03 > 0:40:06OK, interesting. Good plea.
0:40:06 > 0:40:08Good luck with that. Andrew, how about you?
0:40:08 > 0:40:11Well, I'm going on holiday soon,
0:40:11 > 0:40:14so I think I could put some of it towards that.
0:40:14 > 0:40:19OK. Well, best of luck. Nicolas Sarkozy, your first answer.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22We were looking for French prime ministers since 2000.
0:40:22 > 0:40:27Let's see if that's right and how many people said it for £1,000.
0:40:30 > 0:40:32Oh, bad luck.
0:40:32 > 0:40:35I'm afraid not Prime Minister.
0:40:35 > 0:40:36Not a pointless answer,
0:40:36 > 0:40:40which means you only have two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:40:40 > 0:40:46We're now looking at UK MEPs and your second answer was Nick Griffin.
0:40:46 > 0:40:48How sure are you of this?
0:40:48 > 0:40:52I'm not sure, I think the BNP definitely have some MEPs.
0:40:52 > 0:40:53So Nick Griffin might be one of them.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56OK, let's find out. Has to be pointless to win that jackpot.
0:40:56 > 0:40:59So let's see how many people named Nick Griffin as an MEP.
0:41:02 > 0:41:04It's right.
0:41:04 > 0:41:05It's right, Andrew.
0:41:05 > 0:41:09Very well done. Your first answer, Nicolas Sarkozy, was incorrect.
0:41:09 > 0:41:11Not incorrect with Nick Griffin.
0:41:12 > 0:41:14Down it goes, still going down...
0:41:14 > 0:41:16You've done it! Very well done!
0:41:16 > 0:41:19CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:41:19 > 0:41:21Very well done indeed. Nick Griffin.
0:41:21 > 0:41:22Wow.
0:41:28 > 0:41:29Wow. Congratulations.
0:41:29 > 0:41:34Nick Griffin was a pointless answer, which means you go home with £1,000.
0:41:34 > 0:41:35Wow, very well done.
0:41:40 > 0:41:43The other answer you gave, Jacob Hogg-Rees -
0:41:43 > 0:41:45you're thinking of Jacob Rees-Mogg.
0:41:45 > 0:41:49Who's a British MP. He's not an MEP.
0:41:49 > 0:41:52Let's take a look at the pointless answers.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57Adolfo Suarez - later went on to play for Liverpool.
0:42:01 > 0:42:04Jose Maria Aznar was Prime Minister for about eight years.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12All of the post-2000 French prime ministers were pointless answers,
0:42:12 > 0:42:15every single one of them. Not one of them scored a single point.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22Jean-Marc Ayrault is the current Prime Minister.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25Also Jean-Pierre Raffarin as well, he was a pointless answer.
0:42:25 > 0:42:27The members of the European Parliament, I might as well
0:42:27 > 0:42:30go through the ones who scored any points at all,
0:42:30 > 0:42:32cos there's 67-odd pointless answers.
0:42:32 > 0:42:35The only ones that scored points - Nigel Farage, Godfrey Bloom,
0:42:35 > 0:42:39Bill Newton Dunn, Derek Clark, Claude Moraes, and Alyn Smith.
0:42:39 > 0:42:41Every single other MEP was a pointless answer,
0:42:41 > 0:42:45so if you said your local MEP you probably just got a pointless answer.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47Thanks very much, Richard.
0:42:47 > 0:42:50Well, thanks to our winning pair, Maitland and Andrew,
0:42:50 > 0:42:52who go away with £1,000.
0:42:52 > 0:42:54Very well done indeed.
0:42:56 > 0:42:58Join us next time when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge
0:42:58 > 0:43:02- to the test on Pointless. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04And it's goodbye from me, goodbye.
