0:00:18 > 0:00:21CHEERING

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 that makes big winners out of the lowest scorers.

0:00:27 > 0:00:29Let's meet today's players.

0:00:29 > 0:00:31APPLAUSE

0:00:33 > 0:00:34And couple number one.

0:00:34 > 0:00:36My name's Michael from south London.

0:00:36 > 0:00:39This is my very good friend Julia from Horsham.

0:00:39 > 0:00:41- Couple number two.- Hi, I'm Bryony.

0:00:41 > 0:00:44This is my mum, Sue, she is from just outside Coventry

0:00:44 > 0:00:47- and I'm from Bristol. - Couple number three.- Hi, I'm Jon.

0:00:47 > 0:00:50This is my lovely wife, Lou, and we're from Wigan.

0:00:50 > 0:00:51And couple number four.

0:00:51 > 0:00:52Hello, I'm Tyna.

0:00:52 > 0:00:55This is my former colleague and long-time friend Jon,

0:00:55 > 0:00:57and I'm from Eastbourne and he's from Hailsham.

0:00:57 > 0:00:59And these are today's contestants.

0:00:59 > 0:01:01APPLAUSE

0:01:01 > 0:01:02Thanks very much, all of you.

0:01:02 > 0:01:05We'll get to find out more about you throughout the show as it

0:01:05 > 0:01:08goes along, so that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.

0:01:08 > 0:01:10More on the ball than the entire Barcelona midfield,

0:01:10 > 0:01:11it's my Pointless friend.

0:01:11 > 0:01:13- It's Richard.- Hiya.

0:01:13 > 0:01:15Hi, everyone.

0:01:15 > 0:01:16Hiya.

0:01:18 > 0:01:20- Good afternoon to you. - And to you.- Are you well?

0:01:20 > 0:01:22I'm very well, thank you, yeah.

0:01:22 > 0:01:24It's almost like a gallery of strangers today,

0:01:24 > 0:01:26because we've got three new pairs, and Lou and Jon,

0:01:26 > 0:01:28who we didn't see much of last time, did we?

0:01:28 > 0:01:32- Jon misplaced Tokyo and they went home.- They found it. They found it.

0:01:32 > 0:01:35- Oh, that's good news.- I'm relieved. - But it should be a cracking show.

0:01:35 > 0:01:38I was just talking to Michael. Michael was asking if I was

0:01:38 > 0:01:41intimidated by him just now when we went out and had a chat.

0:01:41 > 0:01:44I was saying to Michael, "Everybody, to me, looks the same height."

0:01:44 > 0:01:47Everybody, I don't care who they are, looks about 5'10".

0:01:47 > 0:01:49Well, I'm flattered in that case.

0:01:49 > 0:01:51THEY LAUGH

0:01:51 > 0:01:53Everybody looks the same height.

0:01:53 > 0:01:56- Apart from you, you look about 5'7". - That's me, yeah.

0:01:56 > 0:01:57Thanks very much indeed, Richard.

0:01:57 > 0:02:00Well, now, every question on today's Pointless has been asked

0:02:00 > 0:02:02to 100 people before the show.

0:02:02 > 0:02:05Our contestants here are on the hunt for one of those all-important

0:02:05 > 0:02:08pointless answers that will add £250 to our jackpot.

0:02:08 > 0:02:10Now, Mark and Dan didn't win the jackpot last time,

0:02:10 > 0:02:12so we add another £1,000 to that.

0:02:12 > 0:02:14So, today's jackpot starts off at...

0:02:19 > 0:02:22Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.

0:02:27 > 0:02:29OK, now, the pair with the highest score at the end of

0:02:29 > 0:02:31the round will be eliminated and, remember,

0:02:31 > 0:02:34there is to be no conferring during the round itself.

0:02:34 > 0:02:36OK, our first category today...

0:02:38 > 0:02:41It's Famous People. Can you all decide in your pairs

0:02:41 > 0:02:43who's going to go first, who's going to go second?

0:02:43 > 0:02:46And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:02:48 > 0:02:50OK, and the question concerns...

0:02:55 > 0:02:57Surnames beginning with B. Richard.

0:02:57 > 0:02:59Yes, on each board we're going to show you seven clues leading

0:02:59 > 0:03:01to famous people whose surnames begin with B.

0:03:01 > 0:03:03You need to give us the most obscure answer.

0:03:03 > 0:03:06You need 14 famous people with surnames beginning with B at home.

0:03:06 > 0:03:08- The very best of luck. - Thanks very much indeed, Richard.

0:03:08 > 0:03:11So, we are looking for the names of these people whose surnames begin

0:03:11 > 0:03:15with B and we have our first board of seven clues and here they are.

0:03:39 > 0:03:41I'll read those all one last time.

0:04:01 > 0:04:04There we are. Now, Michael and Julia, you all drew lots before

0:04:04 > 0:04:08the show and today you are going to go first. Michael, welcome.

0:04:08 > 0:04:10- Thank you very much.- A warm welcome. From south London.

0:04:10 > 0:04:14- From south London, yes.- What do you get up to in south London, Michael?

0:04:14 > 0:04:18Um, well, um, I'm retired, although I do dog-walking, I still do that.

0:04:18 > 0:04:21That's fun. So, how many dog clients do you have?

0:04:21 > 0:04:23I do one at a time, I don't do huge numbers.

0:04:23 > 0:04:25I was going to say, that's much better.

0:04:25 > 0:04:28I'm more of a paw to paw, you know, face to face sort of thing. Not...

0:04:28 > 0:04:30So, one on one.

0:04:30 > 0:04:33Yeah, one on one, that's what I was trying to say.

0:04:33 > 0:04:34Paw to paw's good.

0:04:34 > 0:04:37OK, now, Michael, famous people whose surnames begin with B.

0:04:37 > 0:04:38How do you find this board?

0:04:38 > 0:04:39Not too bad.

0:04:39 > 0:04:42Um, so, the German statesman known as the Iron Chancellor is Bismarck.

0:04:42 > 0:04:45Bismarck says Michael. Let's see if that's right and,

0:04:45 > 0:04:47if it is, let's see how many of our 100 said Bismarck.

0:04:49 > 0:04:51It's right.

0:04:55 > 0:04:5722.

0:04:57 > 0:04:58- APPLAUSE - Thank you.

0:04:59 > 0:05:02Not bad at all, Michael. Good start to the round.

0:05:02 > 0:05:05Well played, Michael. Good answer on that first podium.

0:05:05 > 0:05:09Yeah, he was the first Chancellor of the German Empire, Otto von Bismarck.

0:05:09 > 0:05:12Thanks very much indeed. Now, then, Bryony, welcome to Pointless.

0:05:12 > 0:05:15Great to have you here. What do you do?

0:05:15 > 0:05:17Um, I'm currently just being a mum

0:05:17 > 0:05:20and planning to go freelance doing arts education.

0:05:20 > 0:05:24- How many children have you got?- Just the one. A little girl.- What age?

0:05:24 > 0:05:26- She's just coming up 15 months. - And what do you like getting up to

0:05:26 > 0:05:29when you're not looking after a 15-month-old baby?

0:05:29 > 0:05:31Uh, well, if I'm not asleep,

0:05:31 > 0:05:33I like going to the theatre,

0:05:33 > 0:05:36I'm very interested in not just regular theatre, but also

0:05:36 > 0:05:40kind of non-mainstream theatre and sort of fringe stuff as well.

0:05:40 > 0:05:43Now, then, what do you make of this board of Bs?

0:05:43 > 0:05:45I'm just going to go for an obvious one, so I definitely don't

0:05:45 > 0:05:48score 100, but I'm going to go for Wuthering Heights.

0:05:48 > 0:05:51I can't quite remember which one it was! I will say Charlotte Bronte.

0:05:51 > 0:05:52Charlotte Bronte says Bryony.

0:05:52 > 0:05:55Charlotte Bronte for Wuthering Heights, let's see if that's right.

0:05:55 > 0:05:58Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.

0:05:59 > 0:06:01Oh, no!

0:06:01 > 0:06:03It's the other one, isn't it?

0:06:03 > 0:06:05LAUGHTER

0:06:05 > 0:06:08Oh, I'm sorry, Bryony. An incorrect answer scoring you

0:06:08 > 0:06:11- the 100 points there. Sorry. - Yeah, sorry, Bryony.

0:06:11 > 0:06:13I can neither confirm nor deny who wrote it,

0:06:13 > 0:06:17- but I will let you know at the end of the pass.- Thank you.

0:06:17 > 0:06:20- Thanks very much. Now, Jon, welcome back.- Hello, Xander.

0:06:20 > 0:06:22So, just talk us through last time.

0:06:22 > 0:06:24Yeah, it was Pointless carnage, I'm afraid!

0:06:24 > 0:06:27- We were looking for capital cities north of Paris.- Yes.

0:06:27 > 0:06:30And you went for Tokyo, but for a brief moment I suddenly thought...

0:06:30 > 0:06:34- Don't laugh!- Ooh! No, no, no! - I was trying to be different.

0:06:34 > 0:06:36- To be fair, it's only 900 miles. - It's only 900 miles.

0:06:36 > 0:06:39But in a global context, that's...

0:06:39 > 0:06:41- It's not far at all. - It's a stone's throw...- It is!

0:06:41 > 0:06:43..if you're very strong!

0:06:43 > 0:06:47Now, Jon, this is a whole new day and a new Pointless.

0:06:47 > 0:06:50You are our only returning pair. We have high hopes for you.

0:06:50 > 0:06:54Well, I work in IT, so, I'm hoping I'll get this one right,

0:06:54 > 0:06:57so I think the computer pioneer who begun building

0:06:57 > 0:07:00his difference engine in the 1820s was Babbage.

0:07:00 > 0:07:02- Babbage.- I'm hoping.

0:07:02 > 0:07:05Lou, how are we feeling about Babbage?

0:07:05 > 0:07:07- More confident than Tokyo. - Very good.

0:07:07 > 0:07:09LAUGHTER

0:07:09 > 0:07:13Let's see how many of our 100 people said Babbage. Is it right?

0:07:14 > 0:07:17Look at that, Jon, very well done indeed.

0:07:18 > 0:07:21Well, 22 our low score so far, and you've passed that.

0:07:21 > 0:07:2314 for Babbage.

0:07:23 > 0:07:24Yay!

0:07:28 > 0:07:30Yeah, Charles Babbage. That's more like it, Jon, isn't it?

0:07:30 > 0:07:32That's much more fun, isn't it, yeah?

0:07:32 > 0:07:35He never actually built a complete machine, Charles Babbage,

0:07:35 > 0:07:39but the Science Museum in 1991 built one from his designs and it worked...

0:07:39 > 0:07:43- which is rather lovely, isn't it? - Impressive. Thank you very much.

0:07:43 > 0:07:45Now, then, Jon R, welcome.

0:07:45 > 0:07:47What do you do, Jon?

0:07:47 > 0:07:49I work in IT as well, but that's not very interesting, so...

0:07:49 > 0:07:52Did you have Babbage on the tip of your tongue there?

0:07:52 > 0:07:54- Yeah.- Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

0:07:54 > 0:07:58But, more interestingly, a group of friends and myself do some

0:07:58 > 0:08:04concerts of Beatles numbers for charity round the Sussex area.

0:08:04 > 0:08:06How many of you are there in the band?

0:08:06 > 0:08:08Well, there's six, so it doesn't quite fit four! Yeah!

0:08:08 > 0:08:10So, we have the fifth and sixth Beatle, you see.

0:08:10 > 0:08:13I always thought the Beatles would have sounded much better with

0:08:13 > 0:08:17an accordion, so, yeah, so, I can see what you're doing there.

0:08:17 > 0:08:20OK, now, there you are, you're the last person to have this board,

0:08:20 > 0:08:22this board of Bs.

0:08:22 > 0:08:24Yes, um, I...

0:08:26 > 0:08:27..know the Boy Scout leader,

0:08:27 > 0:08:31but I think that might be quite high, so I'm going to go for

0:08:31 > 0:08:35the inventor of the raised dots used by blind people, Louis Braille.

0:08:35 > 0:08:38Louis Braille. OK, well, let's find out.

0:08:38 > 0:08:42Let's see how many of our 100 people said Louis Braille.

0:08:43 > 0:08:45It's right.

0:08:45 > 0:08:47GROANING

0:08:47 > 0:08:49Oh, dear, I'm sorry. That's a...

0:08:49 > 0:08:51APPLAUSE

0:08:51 > 0:08:54I think there's your answer, Jon. 73 for Braille.

0:08:54 > 0:08:57Yeah, he invented that when he was 15, Louis Braille.

0:08:57 > 0:08:59He was blind from the age of three

0:08:59 > 0:09:01and at 15 he invented that system.

0:09:01 > 0:09:04Now, let's fill in the others. Now, Wuthering Heights...

0:09:04 > 0:09:06Of course, there's more than one other Bronte.

0:09:06 > 0:09:09This was Emily Bronte, the only novel she wrote.

0:09:09 > 0:09:11It would have scored you 25.

0:09:11 > 0:09:13Founded the Boy Scouts was... Do you know that, Xander?

0:09:13 > 0:09:16- It was Baden-Powell. - Yeah, Robert Baden-Powell.

0:09:16 > 0:09:18It would have scored 44.

0:09:18 > 0:09:20- Now, do you know the English explorer?- No.

0:09:20 > 0:09:24He once famously grew a beard and dyed his skin with henna, and was

0:09:24 > 0:09:27one of the first ever non-Muslims to go to Mecca and Medina.

0:09:27 > 0:09:30- Was it Richard Burton?- It's Richard Burton, that's exactly

0:09:30 > 0:09:32the right answer. Not the actor, obviously, the explorer.

0:09:32 > 0:09:36It would have scored you one point, so that was a terrific answer.

0:09:36 > 0:09:39- And the 18th-century philosopher... - I would go for Burke as a guess.

0:09:39 > 0:09:41Yeah, you're right, Edmund Burke.

0:09:41 > 0:09:44And that's a pointless answer. Well done if you said that.

0:09:44 > 0:09:46- Well done, you. - Thanks very much indeed.

0:09:46 > 0:09:49So, halfway through the round, let's take a look at those scores.

0:09:49 > 0:09:5114, the best score of that was Jon.

0:09:51 > 0:09:52Look at that! Much, much better.

0:09:52 > 0:09:55That was you and Lou at the top of the table at this stage

0:09:55 > 0:09:57of the round, then up to 22, where we find Michael and Julia.

0:09:57 > 0:10:01Up to 73, quite a scoot up there, where we find Jon and Tyna, and then

0:10:01 > 0:10:04up to 100, I'm afraid, where we find Bryony and Sue,

0:10:04 > 0:10:05but you're not miles out in front.

0:10:05 > 0:10:09A great answer from you, Sue, might be enough to keep you in the game.

0:10:09 > 0:10:12Anyway, best of luck. We're going to come back down the line now.

0:10:12 > 0:10:15Can the second players please step up to the podium?

0:10:16 > 0:10:20OK, let's put seven more clues on the board and here they are.

0:10:47 > 0:10:49I'll read those all one last time.

0:11:14 > 0:11:17There we are, now, remember, Tyna, we are looking for the names

0:11:17 > 0:11:21of these people, and all their surnames begin with the letter B.

0:11:21 > 0:11:23Welcome to the show, Tyna.

0:11:23 > 0:11:24- Hello.- That's good.

0:11:24 > 0:11:28And I see Tyna spelt like that, I'm not sure I've ever seen that.

0:11:28 > 0:11:29My full name's Martyna,

0:11:29 > 0:11:32it was just a quirk on the part of my parents to put a Y in.

0:11:32 > 0:11:35- And what do you do, Martyna? - Oh, well, I'm mostly retired now.

0:11:35 > 0:11:38I'm just teaching a couple of evening classes in family history

0:11:38 > 0:11:41- and mah jong.- I would love to know how to play mah jong.

0:11:41 > 0:11:44- It sounds like such fun. - It is a great game.- Yeah.

0:11:44 > 0:11:46OK, well, listen, there you are on 73.

0:11:46 > 0:11:49The high scorers - Sue and Bryony at this stage, so, if you want to

0:11:49 > 0:11:53avoid becoming the new high scorers, 26 or less sees you through.

0:11:53 > 0:11:56- Well, I much prefer this board to the last one.- So do I.

0:11:56 > 0:12:00I think I'll go for wrote the life of Samuel Johnson,

0:12:00 > 0:12:04first published in 1791, which I believe is Boswell.

0:12:04 > 0:12:07Boswell says Tyna, Boswell. Here's your red line.

0:12:07 > 0:12:09If you get below that red line, you're in round two.

0:12:09 > 0:12:11Let's see how many of our 100 said Boswell.

0:12:13 > 0:12:14Absolutely right.

0:12:18 > 0:12:20You've done it. Very well done indeed.

0:12:20 > 0:12:22Look at that! 5!

0:12:22 > 0:12:23APPLAUSE

0:12:25 > 0:12:2678 your total.

0:12:28 > 0:12:30Well played, Tyna. That's a terrific answer.

0:12:30 > 0:12:33Yeah, Blackadder viewers remember Samuel Johnson as the man who

0:12:33 > 0:12:36wrote the dictionary without the word "sausage" in it,

0:12:36 > 0:12:39but the real Samuel Johnson did include the word "sausage".

0:12:39 > 0:12:43Thank you very much. Now, Lou, welcome back.

0:12:43 > 0:12:45- Hi.- Remind us what you do.

0:12:45 > 0:12:47- I'm a newborn hearing screener. - That's right!

0:12:47 > 0:12:51And even as you said it again, I was momentarily thrown there. Newborn?

0:12:51 > 0:12:53She hasn't just started doing it,

0:12:53 > 0:12:56she's been doing hearing screening for newborns.

0:12:56 > 0:12:58Lou, what do you do in your spare time?

0:12:58 > 0:13:01Well, we have a little boy, so we're busy, um,

0:13:01 > 0:13:05- but I've just taken up tap-dancing. - Have you?- Yes.

0:13:05 > 0:13:08- Do you own a pair of shoes, or do you rent them?- I have shoes.

0:13:08 > 0:13:12- I have shoes.- Wow. - With ribbons on.- Good stuff.

0:13:12 > 0:13:15Now, then, Lou. People whose names begin with B.

0:13:15 > 0:13:19OK. There's a couple on there that I know,

0:13:19 > 0:13:22so I'm going to go for the Minister of Health,

0:13:22 > 0:13:24and I think it was Nye Bevan.

0:13:24 > 0:13:27Bevan says Lou. Bevan.

0:13:27 > 0:13:28There's your red line.

0:13:28 > 0:13:32If you can get below that red line, you are through to the next round.

0:13:32 > 0:13:34Let's see how far down the column Bevan gets you.

0:13:36 > 0:13:39It's right, and through you go.

0:13:42 > 0:13:4420.

0:13:45 > 0:13:4734 your total, Lou.

0:13:49 > 0:13:51Another good answer, yeah.

0:13:51 > 0:13:54A 13-year-old girl called Sylvia Beckingham was

0:13:54 > 0:13:57the first person ever to be treated by the NHS.

0:13:57 > 0:14:00She went into hospital with a liver condition in 1948.

0:14:00 > 0:14:02She was the first person in history.

0:14:02 > 0:14:05Thank you, Richard. Now then, Sue, welcome to Pointless.

0:14:05 > 0:14:07Great to have you here, Sue.

0:14:07 > 0:14:09- What do you do?- I'm retired now, I used to be a teacher.

0:14:09 > 0:14:12- What did you teach? - German and French.

0:14:12 > 0:14:13Wow. So, your travel is good,

0:14:13 > 0:14:15your European travel, I'd have thought.

0:14:15 > 0:14:17Well, my German travel is brilliant.

0:14:17 > 0:14:20- I've been to every single part of Germany.- Really?

0:14:20 > 0:14:22And France, a lot of places in France.

0:14:22 > 0:14:26- Perfect, that's great Pointless training, should they come up.- Yes.

0:14:26 > 0:14:29- Now, there you are, you're the high scorers at the moment.- Yes.

0:14:29 > 0:14:31A low score from you is the very least we need, though,

0:14:31 > 0:14:32to keep you in the game.

0:14:32 > 0:14:36It's choosing which will be the low one. It's really hard.

0:14:37 > 0:14:40Maybe cos of my age, I'll do...

0:14:40 > 0:14:44He lost both legs in a flying accident in 1931,

0:14:44 > 0:14:45Douglas Bader.

0:14:45 > 0:14:48Bader says Sue. Bader. No red line for you, as you're

0:14:48 > 0:14:52the high scorers, but let's see how many of our 100 said Bader.

0:14:53 > 0:14:55It's right.

0:14:58 > 0:14:5939.

0:15:02 > 0:15:0439 takes your total up to 139.

0:15:05 > 0:15:09Yeah, Douglas Bader led 242 Squadron during World War II.

0:15:10 > 0:15:11Thank you very much. Now...

0:15:11 > 0:15:15- Julia...- Yes.- Julia, you are going to be the last person to have this.

0:15:15 > 0:15:18I have a feeling you're going to be able to tidy up that board

0:15:18 > 0:15:21very neatly indeed. What do you do, Julia?

0:15:21 > 0:15:23I used to be a tour manager for a travel company.

0:15:23 > 0:15:27Lately, I look after cats, so I'm the typical mad, old cat lady.

0:15:27 > 0:15:30Mad, old...! So, it's cats and dogs between the pair of you?

0:15:30 > 0:15:34- Yeah.- Looking after cats, is that an easier proposition than...?

0:15:34 > 0:15:36Yeah, they want to be fed and stroked occasionally,

0:15:36 > 0:15:39- but, otherwise, they don't bother you much.- A bit like me!

0:15:39 > 0:15:41LAUGHTER

0:15:44 > 0:15:48What? And you don't bother her much, Michael, is that what you're saying?

0:15:48 > 0:15:50Not at all. I'm very good.

0:15:50 > 0:15:52Um, now then, Julia, there you are on 22.

0:15:52 > 0:15:54You're through to the next round, even if you score 100,

0:15:54 > 0:15:57which I happen to know you won't. But take us through the board.

0:15:57 > 0:16:01Well, the first man, officially, was Roger Bannister.

0:16:02 > 0:16:04I know nothing about cricket, I can think of

0:16:04 > 0:16:08two Australian cricketers, Allan Border and Richie Benaud.

0:16:08 > 0:16:10Ooh!

0:16:10 > 0:16:12- Um... - LAUGHTER

0:16:12 > 0:16:14And the German composer is Beethoven.

0:16:14 > 0:16:17I presume the bottom one is Boudicca.

0:16:17 > 0:16:19- And I'm through anyway, am I? - You are.

0:16:21 > 0:16:23In which case, it doesn't matter if I get it wrong.

0:16:23 > 0:16:26- I'll say Richie Benaud.- Oh! - Richie Benaud!

0:16:26 > 0:16:28Michael doesn't like that at all!

0:16:28 > 0:16:30LAUGHTER

0:16:30 > 0:16:31Oh, Michael!

0:16:31 > 0:16:35He knows you're through, still mortally offended by Richie Benaud.

0:16:35 > 0:16:38Uh, there we are. No red line for you for the lovely reason that

0:16:38 > 0:16:39you are already through.

0:16:39 > 0:16:42Let's see what happens when we say Richie Benaud.

0:16:42 > 0:16:43We know, don't we?!

0:16:43 > 0:16:46Oh!

0:16:46 > 0:16:49Unfortunately, an incorrect answer there, Julia, scores you the maximum

0:16:49 > 0:16:51of 100 points, takes your total up to 122,

0:16:51 > 0:16:53but it couldn't matter less, you're already through.

0:16:53 > 0:16:55Good to go for it, cos you knew all of the others.

0:16:55 > 0:16:57You're right about all of the others,

0:16:57 > 0:16:59and you do know this gentleman's name, it's Don Bradman.

0:16:59 > 0:17:01SHE GASPS

0:17:01 > 0:17:02Told you.

0:17:02 > 0:17:03LAUGHTER

0:17:03 > 0:17:06And he would have scored you 12 points.

0:17:06 > 0:17:09Roger Bannister you're right about, the first man to run under

0:17:09 > 0:17:12four minutes for the mile, he would have scored you 59.

0:17:12 > 0:17:14The composer is Beethoven...

0:17:14 > 0:17:17you're right about that, he would have scored you 29,

0:17:17 > 0:17:19and here's Boudicca and she would have scored you 44.

0:17:19 > 0:17:22So, the best answer on the board, Tyna, is Boswell.

0:17:22 > 0:17:24Thanks very much indeed, Richard.

0:17:24 > 0:17:27So, at the end of our first round, the pair heading home with their

0:17:27 > 0:17:29- high score of 139, I'm sorry, Sue and Bryony.- Never mind.- Well,

0:17:29 > 0:17:32listen, you'll come back next show and there'll be no more people whose

0:17:32 > 0:17:35surnames begin with B and I'm sure you'll do much, much, much better,

0:17:35 > 0:17:37but, meantime, we have to say goodbye, but

0:17:37 > 0:17:39thanks very much for playing. Sue and Bryony.

0:17:39 > 0:17:41APPLAUSE

0:17:41 > 0:17:44But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for round two.

0:17:50 > 0:17:54So, three pairs remain. Obviously, at the end of this round,

0:17:54 > 0:17:56we'll have to say goodbye to another pair.

0:17:56 > 0:17:58I wonder which pair that's going to be.

0:17:58 > 0:18:01I think this is going to be a good, closely fought round.

0:18:01 > 0:18:04Best of luck to all three pairs. Our category for round two is...

0:18:06 > 0:18:09Musicals. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,

0:18:09 > 0:18:11- who's going to go second? - WHISPERING

0:18:11 > 0:18:15And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:18:16 > 0:18:19OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.

0:18:19 > 0:18:21We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name...

0:18:26 > 0:18:28Shows awarded a Tony for Best Musical.

0:18:28 > 0:18:31- Richard.- Yeah, we're looking for the name of any musical

0:18:31 > 0:18:32that's received a Tony Award.

0:18:32 > 0:18:36The Best Musical Tony Awards any year from 1949 all the way

0:18:36 > 0:18:39up to the 2013 ceremony, please.

0:18:39 > 0:18:42Lots and lots of famous and fabulous musicals on this list.

0:18:42 > 0:18:47Anything that won the Best Musical Award at the Tonys, 1949 to 2013.

0:18:47 > 0:18:50Thank you very much indeed. Now, Julia...

0:18:50 > 0:18:52- Hmm.- Hmm.

0:18:52 > 0:18:54Is it a good category for you, Julia?

0:18:54 > 0:18:56It should be, yeah, it should be.

0:18:57 > 0:18:58Um, but...

0:19:00 > 0:19:03Um, I will hope that...

0:19:04 > 0:19:07..Cabaret won.

0:19:07 > 0:19:09Cabaret says Julia. Michael seems to like that.

0:19:09 > 0:19:11Let's see if Cabaret is right and,

0:19:11 > 0:19:15if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.

0:19:15 > 0:19:16It's right.

0:19:22 > 0:19:25Very well done, Julia. 3 for Cabaret.

0:19:30 > 0:19:34Well played, Julia. Julia's good, isn't she? You can tell instantly.

0:19:34 > 0:19:37Yeah, won in 1967, Cabaret.

0:19:37 > 0:19:40Thanks very much. Now, Jon,

0:19:40 > 0:19:42that was a great first round.

0:19:42 > 0:19:45- Is this going to be a good second round?- No!

0:19:45 > 0:19:46LAUGHTER

0:19:46 > 0:19:49Um, I think I will try...

0:19:50 > 0:19:55..and hope one of my dear mum's favourite musicals of all time

0:19:55 > 0:19:59will pay off for me, and I will go for Chess.

0:19:59 > 0:20:02Chess says Jon. Chess.

0:20:02 > 0:20:05Let's see if that's right and, if it is, let's see how many

0:20:05 > 0:20:06of our 100 people said Chess.

0:20:08 > 0:20:09Oh, no!

0:20:09 > 0:20:11Bad luck, Jon.

0:20:11 > 0:20:14Good guess, but an incorrect answer.

0:20:14 > 0:20:16It scores you the maximum of 100 points.

0:20:16 > 0:20:20Sorry, Jon, it didn't win any Tonys at all in any categories, Chess.

0:20:20 > 0:20:24Had a couple of nominations, but nothing other than that.

0:20:24 > 0:20:26Thanks, Richard. Now, Tyna.

0:20:26 > 0:20:29I think I'll go for one from a while back, on the principle

0:20:29 > 0:20:32your 100 people might be too young to remember it.

0:20:32 > 0:20:34I'm going to go for West Side Story.

0:20:34 > 0:20:36West Side Story, surely that's a correct answer.

0:20:36 > 0:20:40Let's see if she's right, let's see how many people said it.

0:20:41 > 0:20:42Oh, no!

0:20:43 > 0:20:45Well, that's a crime! It should have been.

0:20:45 > 0:20:48I would have thought that was a shoo-in.

0:20:48 > 0:20:52West Side Story, not a winner of a Tony, the Best Musical, evidently.

0:20:52 > 0:20:56- That scores you 100 points as well. - Yes, seems ridiculous, doesn't it?

0:20:56 > 0:20:58Especially given some of the names on this list, so

0:20:58 > 0:21:01- that's really unlucky Tyna, sorry. - We're halfway through the round.

0:21:01 > 0:21:04Let's take a look at those scores. Only two scores between the three pairs.

0:21:04 > 0:21:07Julia and Michael looking very strong, I would have to say,

0:21:07 > 0:21:13on 3 there, and then Jon and Lou, and Tyna and Jon sharing 100 there.

0:21:13 > 0:21:17Yes, so Lou and Jon R, it's going to be between you, I think, to see who

0:21:17 > 0:21:21stays with us and who leaves at the end of the round. Very best of luck.

0:21:21 > 0:21:24Can the second players please step up to the podium?

0:21:26 > 0:21:29OK, so we are looking,

0:21:29 > 0:21:34Jon, for any musical that has won a Tony Award for Best Musical.

0:21:34 > 0:21:36I seem to remember, back in the late '70s,

0:21:36 > 0:21:41Paul McCartney being at an awards party for a musical that he

0:21:41 > 0:21:44was involved in, and I think it was called A Chorus Line.

0:21:44 > 0:21:47A Chorus Line says Jon. OK, no red line for you,

0:21:47 > 0:21:50as you are joint high scorers.

0:21:50 > 0:21:52Let's see how many of our 100 people said A Chorus Line.

0:21:54 > 0:21:56That's a good answer, Jon.

0:22:01 > 0:22:031!

0:22:07 > 0:22:10101, your total there, Jon.

0:22:10 > 0:22:13Very well played, Jon.

0:22:13 > 0:22:16It won in 1976, so that was a good few years ago.

0:22:16 > 0:22:18Now, Lou, you have a target.

0:22:18 > 0:22:22We now know what you have to score to stay in the game,

0:22:22 > 0:22:26- and it's a pointless answer is what we need from you.- Right.

0:22:26 > 0:22:30Seeing as we've got nothing really to lose, I'm going to have a punt.

0:22:30 > 0:22:32I'm going to go with...

0:22:32 > 0:22:34Seven Brides For Seven Brothers.

0:22:34 > 0:22:37Seven Brides For Seven Brothers says Lou.

0:22:37 > 0:22:40Here's your red line, I don't know if we'll see it.

0:22:40 > 0:22:44It's...just take my word for it, it is there.

0:22:44 > 0:22:49- Get below that, Lou, and you're in the head-to-head.- Impressive!

0:22:49 > 0:22:52Seven Brides For Seven Brothers. Let's see if that's right,

0:22:52 > 0:22:54let's see how many people said it, if it is.

0:22:55 > 0:22:58Oh, no! Bad luck, Lou. I'm sorry.

0:22:58 > 0:23:02An incorrect answer scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 200

0:23:02 > 0:23:04but, who knows, that could have been a correct answer. I'm sure if

0:23:04 > 0:23:07it were, it would have been a very low-scoring one.

0:23:07 > 0:23:10Yeah, worth the risk. More famous as a film musical though, probably.

0:23:10 > 0:23:12They did revive it in the early '80s,

0:23:12 > 0:23:14but it didn't win the Tony, I'm afraid.

0:23:14 > 0:23:17Thanks very much indeed. Now, then, Michael.

0:23:17 > 0:23:21Good news, you are already through to the next round, but

0:23:21 > 0:23:24Julia did particularly well there, a lovely low score.

0:23:24 > 0:23:27Do you think you can score lower than that?

0:23:27 > 0:23:28Probably not, no.

0:23:28 > 0:23:30I'll go for a fairly safe one, at least, I think it's a

0:23:30 > 0:23:33- fairly safe one, My Fair Lady. - My Fair Lady says Michael.

0:23:33 > 0:23:36No red line for you, you're already through, but let's see how many

0:23:36 > 0:23:38of our 100 people said My Fair Lady.

0:23:40 > 0:23:41It's right.

0:23:47 > 0:23:49There we are. Very well done indeed, Michael.

0:23:49 > 0:23:546...gives you a wonderful single-figure total of 9.

0:23:54 > 0:23:55Very well done.

0:23:55 > 0:23:58Well played, Michael. Yeah, it won in 1957.

0:23:58 > 0:24:02It did over 20,700 performances on Broadway. There's a whole lot of

0:24:02 > 0:24:05pointless answers, including a couple of really recent ones.

0:24:05 > 0:24:06Let's take a look at a few.

0:24:06 > 0:24:09Crazy For You from the '90s would have been a pointless answer,

0:24:09 > 0:24:11Man of La Mancha from 1966,

0:24:11 > 0:24:14Monty Python's Spamalot won the Tony for Best Musical,

0:24:14 > 0:24:16it would have been pointless.

0:24:16 > 0:24:19Spring Awakening, Sunset Boulevard is a pointless answer,

0:24:19 > 0:24:23The Book Of Mormon, which won in 2011, that was a pointless answer.

0:24:23 > 0:24:26The Producers, also a pointless answer, The Wiz,

0:24:26 > 0:24:29Thoroughly Modern Millie. There's a couple of other pointless answers.

0:24:29 > 0:24:32La Cage Aux Folles, Ain't Misbehavin', Damn Yankees,

0:24:32 > 0:24:34so there's quite a few pointless answers out there.

0:24:34 > 0:24:35Let's take a look at the top three,

0:24:35 > 0:24:38the ones that most of our 100 people said.

0:24:48 > 0:24:51Thanks very much. So, at the end of our second round,

0:24:51 > 0:24:55I'm afraid our returning pair, Lou and Jon, you did so well last round!

0:24:55 > 0:24:58I'm afraid this round we have to say goodbye to you,

0:24:58 > 0:25:01with a high score of 200. Oh, I'm sorry.

0:25:01 > 0:25:04- But you might have said any of those pointless ones.- Any one of them.

0:25:04 > 0:25:07I'm afraid it means we have to say goodbye to you. It's been great

0:25:07 > 0:25:10- having you on the show, thanks for playing.- Thank you.- Thank you.

0:25:10 > 0:25:14But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for the head-to-head.

0:25:19 > 0:25:22Congratulations, Michael and Julia, Jon and Tyna, you're now

0:25:22 > 0:25:25one step closer to the final and the chance to play for our jackpot,

0:25:25 > 0:25:26which currently stands at...

0:25:30 > 0:25:33Now we have to decide who is going to play for that money.

0:25:33 > 0:25:35To do that, you are now going to go head to head.

0:25:35 > 0:25:37The big difference is, you're allowed to confer

0:25:37 > 0:25:39and the first pair to win

0:25:39 > 0:25:41two questions will be playing for that jackpot.

0:25:41 > 0:25:43I think this is going to be very close indeed.

0:25:43 > 0:25:46Michael and Julia, lovely low scoring from you consistently

0:25:46 > 0:25:47throughout the show but,

0:25:47 > 0:25:51Jon and Tyna, in each round, it has always been one of you two

0:25:51 > 0:25:54who has given our lowest-scoring answer of the round.

0:25:54 > 0:25:56So now you can confer, who knows what will happen?

0:25:56 > 0:25:59Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.

0:26:03 > 0:26:07And here comes your first question, and it concerns...

0:26:10 > 0:26:12Sporting events and their years. Richard.

0:26:12 > 0:26:15We'll show you five photographs of memorable sporting events.

0:26:15 > 0:26:18Can you tell us the years in which they were taken, please?

0:26:18 > 0:26:21Thanks very much indeed. Let's reveal our five sporting events,

0:26:21 > 0:26:23and here they come. We have got...

0:26:41 > 0:26:44There we are, five sporting events.

0:26:44 > 0:26:47Michael and Julia, you've played best throughout the show so far,

0:26:47 > 0:26:49so you will go first.

0:26:49 > 0:26:50- C?- I'll go for that.

0:26:50 > 0:26:53- Shall we go with that? - I think we have to.

0:26:54 > 0:26:56Right, um...

0:26:56 > 0:27:01It's probably quite high scoring, but we'll go for C, 1953.

0:27:03 > 0:27:05That might be quite high scoring.

0:27:06 > 0:27:09- Uh...you're saying 1953.- It's 1977.

0:27:09 > 0:27:12Oh, of course! Oh, my God, yes!

0:27:12 > 0:27:15- Oh!- Sorry!- Don't... Well, listen,

0:27:15 > 0:27:18that makes up for Richie Benaud for the journey home!

0:27:18 > 0:27:23- Oh!- OK, so, Jon and Tyna, do you fancy talking us through the board

0:27:23 > 0:27:25and filling in all the blanks for us?

0:27:25 > 0:27:29I'm not an expert in motor racing, so I don't know when Damon Hill

0:27:29 > 0:27:34won that, but C is Virginia Wade in 1977 winning Wimbledon.

0:27:34 > 0:27:40E is Francois Pienaar picking up the Rugby World Cup in '95.

0:27:40 > 0:27:44B, I think, is Bradley Wiggins in 2012 winning the Tour de France, but

0:27:44 > 0:27:45I think I'm going to go for A,

0:27:45 > 0:27:49which is Dennis Taylor beating Steve Davis in 1985.

0:27:49 > 0:27:521985? Impressive knowledge there, Jon,

0:27:52 > 0:27:59assuming it's right. Uh, so, Michael and Julia have said 1953 for C.

0:27:59 > 0:28:01Let's see what happens when we say that.

0:28:03 > 0:28:05Yes, I'm sorry.

0:28:05 > 0:28:07I think you knew that was coming.

0:28:07 > 0:28:13Jon and Tyna have said 1985 for A.

0:28:13 > 0:28:14Let's see if that's right

0:28:14 > 0:28:17and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said 1985.

0:28:17 > 0:28:21It has to be right only at this stage for you to win.

0:28:21 > 0:28:22It's right.

0:28:28 > 0:28:297.

0:28:33 > 0:28:37Which means, Jon and Tyna, after one question, you are up 1-nil.

0:28:37 > 0:28:38Yeah, very well played, Jon.

0:28:38 > 0:28:40You took us through the board very nicely there.

0:28:40 > 0:28:431985, one of the most memorable sporting events on

0:28:43 > 0:28:46British television, I would say. Actually, there's a better answer

0:28:46 > 0:28:48you could have given than the one's you've got.

0:28:48 > 0:28:51Not B, you were right about B, 2012, Bradley Wiggins there.

0:28:51 > 0:28:56That would have scored you... 46 points.

0:28:56 > 0:29:00C, as you rightly say, is 1977.

0:29:00 > 0:29:04- So nearly 1953, Michael(!) - Only 14 years out!

0:29:04 > 0:29:07It's...with respect, it's 24 years out!

0:29:07 > 0:29:09Oh, so it is!

0:29:09 > 0:29:11Oh, dear! This is getting worse! LAUGHTER

0:29:11 > 0:29:13I'm going home now.

0:29:13 > 0:29:15LAUGHTER

0:29:15 > 0:29:1826 points for that. D was 1996,

0:29:18 > 0:29:20Damon Hill, it would have scored 4 points,

0:29:20 > 0:29:21and that's a better answer.

0:29:21 > 0:29:24Not only is E a better answer, it was a pointless answer.

0:29:24 > 0:29:28It would have added £250 to the jackpot, 1995.

0:29:29 > 0:29:31Very well done if you said that at home.

0:29:31 > 0:29:35Thanks very much indeed, Richard. So, here comes your second question.

0:29:35 > 0:29:38Michael and Julia, you have to win this one to stay in the game,

0:29:38 > 0:29:40but Jon and Tyna will get to answer it first.

0:29:40 > 0:29:42So, best of luck. It concerns...

0:29:46 > 0:29:47The Falkland Islands. Richard.

0:29:47 > 0:29:50We're going to show you five clues now to

0:29:50 > 0:29:53facts about the Falkland Islands. Can you give us the most obscure answer?

0:29:53 > 0:29:54Thanks very much indeed.

0:29:54 > 0:29:57Let's reveal our five clues and here they are.

0:30:08 > 0:30:10I'll read those all one last time.

0:30:20 > 0:30:23Jon and Tyna will go first.

0:30:23 > 0:30:24Not two or five...

0:30:30 > 0:30:33We think we're going to go for the top one and it's known by

0:30:33 > 0:30:36the Argentinians as Las Malvinas.

0:30:36 > 0:30:38Las Malvinas say Jon and Tyna,

0:30:38 > 0:30:41La Malvinas. Now, Michael and Julia, do you want to talk us

0:30:41 > 0:30:43through the rest of the board?

0:30:43 > 0:30:46Uh, I wish I could! The short answer's no, I'm afraid.

0:30:46 > 0:30:49We think it's sheep, probably, the farming animal.

0:30:49 > 0:30:51The number of islands, we don't know.

0:30:51 > 0:30:54The name of the capital we think is Port Stanley.

0:30:54 > 0:30:56And it's the Atlantic, isn't it? The South Atlantic.

0:30:56 > 0:30:58Shall we go with Port Stanley?

0:30:58 > 0:31:01- Yes.- Port Stanley for the capital.

0:31:01 > 0:31:03OK, Port Stanley the name of the capital.

0:31:03 > 0:31:06So, Jon and Tyna have gone for Las Malvinas.

0:31:06 > 0:31:10Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said that.

0:31:10 > 0:31:11It's right.

0:31:15 > 0:31:1636.

0:31:19 > 0:31:2136 for Las Malvinas.

0:31:21 > 0:31:24Michael and Julia have said the capital is Port Stanley.

0:31:24 > 0:31:28Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said that.

0:31:29 > 0:31:33It's right. If this goes below 36, you are back in the game.

0:31:33 > 0:31:37And it does, very well done indeed. Look at that. 28 for Port Stanley.

0:31:40 > 0:31:42Very well played, Michael and Julia.

0:31:42 > 0:31:44That's exactly what you needed to happen.

0:31:44 > 0:31:47You've broken back and, after two questions, it's 1-all.

0:31:47 > 0:31:50Yeah, Port Stanley or Stanley, the only town, actually,

0:31:50 > 0:31:52in the Falklands. Everything else is small settlements.

0:31:52 > 0:31:57Now, the farming of sheep dominates the agricultural economy.

0:31:57 > 0:32:00It would have scored you 67.

0:32:00 > 0:32:03The number of islands it consists of, the large islands,

0:32:03 > 0:32:06are East Falklands and West Falklands.

0:32:06 > 0:32:09So, two is the answer, and would have scored you 15 and

0:32:09 > 0:32:12it's located famously in the South Atlantic,

0:32:12 > 0:32:15but it's the Atlantic Ocean and that would have scored you 61.

0:32:15 > 0:32:18So, the best answer on that board there is two large islands.

0:32:18 > 0:32:21Thank you very much indeed, Richard. So, it all comes down to a decider.

0:32:21 > 0:32:23This is your third question.

0:32:23 > 0:32:24Whoever wins this goes through to the final

0:32:24 > 0:32:26and plays for that jackpot.

0:32:26 > 0:32:28Best of luck to both pairs. It concerns...

0:32:31 > 0:32:32Alloys. Richard.

0:32:32 > 0:32:35Yeah, we're going to show you five alloys now, including their

0:32:35 > 0:32:38constituent parts, but we've left out alternate letters from their names.

0:32:38 > 0:32:40Can you fill in the blanks, please?

0:32:40 > 0:32:43OK, let's reveal our five alloys and here they are.

0:33:00 > 0:33:02I'll read those one last time.

0:33:14 > 0:33:17Now, then. Michael and Julia, you will go first.

0:33:17 > 0:33:20Something silver. Can you think of any other word with silver?

0:33:20 > 0:33:21G, something, silver?

0:33:21 > 0:33:23- I can't.- Stainless steel?

0:33:25 > 0:33:27Well, the only one we can think of,

0:33:27 > 0:33:32unless we've got another half an hour to work it out, is brass.

0:33:33 > 0:33:36OK, so, you're going to say brass, one up from the bottom.

0:33:36 > 0:33:38Now then, Jon and Tyna.

0:33:39 > 0:33:42- Do you want to talk us through the rest of the board?- Um...

0:33:42 > 0:33:45Well, we're guessing the bottom one is ferronickel,

0:33:45 > 0:33:47just on the iron and nickel bit,

0:33:47 > 0:33:50and steel and something silver,

0:33:50 > 0:33:52but we're going to go for gunmetal, the middle one.

0:33:52 > 0:33:55You're going to go for gunmetal.

0:33:55 > 0:33:58So, we have brass versus gunmetal. Michael and Julia said brass.

0:33:58 > 0:34:01Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said it.

0:34:03 > 0:34:04It's right.

0:34:04 > 0:34:06Ooh, look at that! 91.

0:34:06 > 0:34:08XANDER EXHALES

0:34:08 > 0:34:11Um, now, then, Jon and Tyna have said gunmetal.

0:34:11 > 0:34:13Let's see if that's right

0:34:13 > 0:34:16and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said that.

0:34:17 > 0:34:20It's right! Very well done. Look at that.

0:34:23 > 0:34:26That's a great answer. Gunmetal scores 8.

0:34:28 > 0:34:33That's pretty decisive there, Jon and Tyna, very well done to you.

0:34:33 > 0:34:35After three questions, you're through to the final, 2-1.

0:34:35 > 0:34:40Yeah, let's fill in the rest of these. Steel is iron and carbon.

0:34:40 > 0:34:43That would have scored 67 points.

0:34:43 > 0:34:46Now, down the bottom, you are right, it is ferronickel.

0:34:46 > 0:34:49Iron and nickel, some people will have guessed that,

0:34:49 > 0:34:5013 points. The top one -

0:34:50 > 0:34:53I think everyone knows it's silver, but what's that first word?

0:34:53 > 0:34:55German, I'd make up?

0:34:55 > 0:34:58- It is German.- It is? Yay! - German silver for three points.

0:34:58 > 0:34:59APPLAUSE

0:35:04 > 0:35:05I have to say, I never realised

0:35:05 > 0:35:07the Germans were one of the ALLOYS, did you?

0:35:07 > 0:35:09LAUGHTER AND GROANS

0:35:12 > 0:35:14Thanks very much indeed, Richard.

0:35:14 > 0:35:17So, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round, Michael

0:35:17 > 0:35:19and Julia, you've had an astonishing performance right

0:35:19 > 0:35:22the way across the show. Then you came up against Jon and Tyna,

0:35:22 > 0:35:25who really were very good on that. The first and last questions

0:35:25 > 0:35:27particularly, Jon and Tyna. But it means, Michael and Julia,

0:35:27 > 0:35:30the good news for us is we get to see you again next time. We'll look

0:35:30 > 0:35:33forward to that. In the meantime, thanks for playing.

0:35:33 > 0:35:36- Michael and Julia.- Thank you. APPLAUSE

0:35:36 > 0:35:39But for Jon and Tyna, it's now time for our Pointless final.

0:35:42 > 0:35:45Congratulations, Jon and Tyna, you've fought off all the competition

0:35:45 > 0:35:48and you've won our covetous Pointless trophy, so well done.

0:35:54 > 0:35:56You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot and,

0:35:56 > 0:35:59at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at...

0:36:03 > 0:36:06You've done very, very well and what's really pleasing about

0:36:06 > 0:36:10your performance across the show is that it's been fantastic teamwork.

0:36:10 > 0:36:12What would you like to see come up in this round?

0:36:12 > 0:36:14- History. Beatles.- History. - The Beatles.- Cricket.

0:36:14 > 0:36:17Anything about the Beatles, he'll know.

0:36:17 > 0:36:19OK, well, as always, you get to choose your category and there are

0:36:19 > 0:36:23four options to choose from, and here they are. We've got...

0:36:30 > 0:36:32Oh!

0:36:32 > 0:36:35What a choice! You don't know rugby, do you?

0:36:35 > 0:36:39- Not a great deal, no. - So, it's top or bottom.

0:36:39 > 0:36:42Classic '70s rock albums, shall we go for that?

0:36:42 > 0:36:44- Yes!- Classic '70s rock albums, please.

0:36:44 > 0:36:48- There we go, Richard.- OK, very best of luck, here are your three options.

0:36:48 > 0:36:52We are looking for any of the tracks on the original release of...

0:37:03 > 0:37:05Plenty to get your teeth into, there.

0:37:09 > 0:37:11Very, very best of luck.

0:37:11 > 0:37:13Thank you very much indeed.

0:37:13 > 0:37:16Now, as always, you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers

0:37:16 > 0:37:19and all you need to win that jackpot of £2,000 is for just one of those

0:37:19 > 0:37:21answers to be pointless. Now, remember, the answers you provide

0:37:21 > 0:37:24can come from any of these three categories and how you spread them

0:37:24 > 0:37:27across the categories is entirely down to you. Are you ready?

0:37:27 > 0:37:28- Yes.- As we'll ever be.

0:37:28 > 0:37:30Let's put 60 seconds on the clock.

0:37:30 > 0:37:33There they are. Your time starts now.

0:37:33 > 0:37:35- OK, good.- You can speak up now!

0:37:35 > 0:37:38- A Night At The Opera, I've got the album.- Good!

0:37:38 > 0:37:41I think we'll go for Good Company or, um...

0:37:41 > 0:37:43I'll come back to that.

0:37:43 > 0:37:46Dark Side Of The Moon, we've got Breathe, Time,

0:37:46 > 0:37:48Money's probably too much of a high-scorer.

0:37:48 > 0:37:50- Um...- You know the albums, I can't remember...

0:37:50 > 0:37:53"The lunatic is on the grass" - what's that one?

0:37:53 > 0:37:54That's called Brain Damage.

0:37:54 > 0:37:57A Night At The Opera, let's go back to that.

0:37:57 > 0:37:58# Lazing on a Sunday afternoon... #

0:37:58 > 0:38:02Lazing On A Sunday Afternoon, um...

0:38:02 > 0:38:04What else is there? No, no, no...

0:38:04 > 0:38:06No, no, not Lazing...

0:38:06 > 0:38:09# Do, do, do Do, do, do.... #

0:38:09 > 0:38:10LAUGHTER

0:38:10 > 0:38:13- Lazing on a Sunday afternoon. - We haven't got time! Go.

0:38:13 > 0:38:14Good Company.

0:38:14 > 0:38:17Um, what's the one about the motorcar?

0:38:17 > 0:38:18Uh...

0:38:18 > 0:38:20HE HUMS TO HIMSELF

0:38:22 > 0:38:25- Ten seconds left. - Um...

0:38:25 > 0:38:28- We can't go for Bohemian Rhapsody, it too...- No, definitely not.

0:38:28 > 0:38:31What else is on Sticky Fingers?

0:38:32 > 0:38:35OK, that's your time up. I now need your three answers.

0:38:35 > 0:38:37What are you going to say?

0:38:37 > 0:38:39Right. We'll go for...

0:38:39 > 0:38:42uh, Dark Side Of The Moon, Brain Damage.

0:38:42 > 0:38:44Brain Damage.

0:38:44 > 0:38:45Um...

0:38:45 > 0:38:48Queen, Night At The Opera,

0:38:48 > 0:38:52- we'll go for Good Company. - Good Company.- And...

0:38:53 > 0:38:56And I think it's called Lazing On A Sunday Afternoon.

0:38:56 > 0:38:58- Oh, right, go on. - I think it is.

0:38:58 > 0:39:03Lazing On A Sunday Afternoon, also from Night At The Opera.

0:39:03 > 0:39:05Of those three, which is your best shot

0:39:05 > 0:39:06at a pointless answer, do you think?

0:39:06 > 0:39:09- Go for Good Company. - OK, Good Company we'll put last.

0:39:09 > 0:39:12Which is your least likely to be pointless?

0:39:12 > 0:39:14- Brain Damage. - Brain Damage we'll put first

0:39:14 > 0:39:18and Lazing On A Sunday Afternoon in the middle.

0:39:18 > 0:39:21OK, let's pop those up on the board in that order, and here they are.

0:39:25 > 0:39:27Well, very, very best of luck.

0:39:27 > 0:39:30Three very good answers up there, by the sounds of things.

0:39:30 > 0:39:33Your first answer was Brain Damage. You thought this was probably

0:39:33 > 0:39:34your least likely to be pointless,

0:39:34 > 0:39:37but, remember, only one of these answers has to be

0:39:37 > 0:39:39pointless for you to win that jackpot of 2,000 quid.

0:39:39 > 0:39:42What would you do with your share of the winnings, Jon?

0:39:42 > 0:39:45Uh, I'd go and visit my sister who lives in Canada

0:39:45 > 0:39:47and have a trip to New York as well, I think.

0:39:47 > 0:39:49Tyna, how about you?

0:39:49 > 0:39:52My goddaughter is getting ordained in Western Australia next year,

0:39:52 > 0:39:54so maybe a trip out there.

0:39:54 > 0:39:56Excellent. Well, very best of luck.

0:39:56 > 0:39:58As I say, three good answers up there.

0:39:58 > 0:40:01Let's hope at least one of those is pointless.

0:40:01 > 0:40:05Your first answer was Brain Damage. Obviously, it has to be correct,

0:40:05 > 0:40:07then it has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot,

0:40:07 > 0:40:10so, for £2,000, let's see how many of our 100 people named

0:40:10 > 0:40:13Brain Damage as a track on Dark Side Of The Moon.

0:40:15 > 0:40:16It's right.

0:40:17 > 0:40:22Now, if this goes all the way down to zero, you leave with £2,000.

0:40:22 > 0:40:25Down it goes into the teens, into single figures,

0:40:25 > 0:40:27still going down, down it goes.

0:40:27 > 0:40:282 for Brain Damage.

0:40:28 > 0:40:30- APPLAUSE - Well done!

0:40:32 > 0:40:36That's a great answer. Fabulous low score. It's not pointless, though,

0:40:36 > 0:40:39and it's only pointless answers that we're interested in

0:40:39 > 0:40:43in this final round, so only two more chances to win today's jackpot.

0:40:43 > 0:40:45Your next answer was Lazing On A Sunday Afternoon.

0:40:45 > 0:40:46It has to be correct,

0:40:46 > 0:40:49then it has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot.

0:40:49 > 0:40:51For £2,000, let's see how many of our 100 people said

0:40:51 > 0:40:55Lazing On A Sunday Afternoon was on A Night At The Opera.

0:40:56 > 0:40:58It's right.

0:40:58 > 0:41:01It's right. Now, your first answer was Brain Damage.

0:41:01 > 0:41:03Took us all the way down to 2. This second answer,

0:41:03 > 0:41:06Lazing On A Sunday Afternoon takes us down into single figures.

0:41:06 > 0:41:08If this goes all the way down, you leave with the jackpot.

0:41:08 > 0:41:101!

0:41:10 > 0:41:12APPLAUSE

0:41:15 > 0:41:17INDISTINCT

0:41:17 > 0:41:20All right, now, this is heading towards being one of those

0:41:20 > 0:41:24perfect jackpot rounds, where you've got three good answers

0:41:24 > 0:41:27and you put them in exactly the right order.

0:41:27 > 0:41:30The next one, surely, Good Company, has to be pointless.

0:41:31 > 0:41:34If it is, it will win you £2,000.

0:41:34 > 0:41:35Let's see how many of our 100 people said

0:41:35 > 0:41:38Good Company was on A Night At The Opera.

0:41:40 > 0:41:42Well, it's right again.

0:41:42 > 0:41:45First answer, Brain Damage, took us down to 2,

0:41:45 > 0:41:49your second answer, Lazing On A Sunday Afternoon, took us down to 1.

0:41:49 > 0:41:51This answer, Good Company, now takes us down.

0:41:51 > 0:41:52Will it pass 1, will it pass 1?

0:41:52 > 0:41:54- Yes, it does! - CHEERING

0:41:54 > 0:41:56Very well done indeed!

0:41:58 > 0:42:01Very, very well done. Fantastic!

0:42:01 > 0:42:03Brilliant!

0:42:08 > 0:42:11Well, congratulations, Jon and Tyna.

0:42:11 > 0:42:12Good company was a pointless answer,

0:42:12 > 0:42:15which means you go home with that jackpot of £2,000.

0:42:15 > 0:42:17Very well done, indeed.

0:42:21 > 0:42:24Amazing. Very, very well played. Nice category for you there.

0:42:24 > 0:42:27Let's take a look at the answers for all of those albums.

0:42:27 > 0:42:30There'll be some other answers that I suspect you'll recognise here.

0:42:33 > 0:42:35You also could have had Death On Two Legs

0:42:35 > 0:42:38and Seaside Rendezvous on that album.

0:42:38 > 0:42:40For Sticky Fingers, you could have had...

0:42:43 > 0:42:46..and Sister Morphine, those were the pointless answers there.

0:42:46 > 0:42:50And fewer on the Pink Floyd album.

0:42:52 > 0:42:55So, a couple of the others that you were talking about during

0:42:55 > 0:42:57the 60 seconds wouldn't have won you the money, but

0:42:57 > 0:43:00Good Company, which you came up with almost instantly, I think,

0:43:00 > 0:43:03and stayed there all the way through and won you the cash.

0:43:03 > 0:43:05Very, very well played.

0:43:05 > 0:43:06Thanks very much, Richard.

0:43:06 > 0:43:09Well, thanks once again to our winning players, Jon and Tyna,

0:43:09 > 0:43:11who go away with today's jackpot of £2,000.

0:43:15 > 0:43:18Join us next time, when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge to

0:43:18 > 0:43:21- the test on Pointless. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.

0:43:21 > 0:43:23And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.

0:43:23 > 0:43:26APPLAUSE
