0:00:13 > 0:00:14APPLAUSE
0:00:16 > 0:00:18CHEERING
0:00:20 > 0:00:23Thank you very much. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong
0:00:23 > 0:00:24and a very warm welcome to Pointless,
0:00:24 > 0:00:27the game where you are always aiming for the lowest score.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29Let's meet today's players...
0:00:32 > 0:00:33And couple number one...
0:00:33 > 0:00:36Hello, I'm Michael, I live in south London
0:00:36 > 0:00:39and this is my good friend Julia who comes from Horsham.
0:00:39 > 0:00:40Couple number two...
0:00:40 > 0:00:42Hi, I'm Bryony, this is my mum Sue, she lives
0:00:42 > 0:00:44just outside Coventry and I live in Bristol.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47- Couple number three...- Hello, I'm David, this is my good friend Nick
0:00:47 > 0:00:49and we're from Dunstable.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52- And couple number four... - Hello, I'm Gwil, this is my
0:00:52 > 0:00:55brother-in-law Howard, he's from Christchurch in Dorset
0:00:55 > 0:00:57and I'm from Milton Keynes.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59And these are today's contestants...
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Thanks very much, we'll find out more about you throughout the show
0:01:04 > 0:01:07as it goes along. So that just leaves one more person for me
0:01:07 > 0:01:10to introduce - a man so smart if he gathered his thoughts
0:01:10 > 0:01:12he'd need an aircraft hanger to store them in -
0:01:12 > 0:01:17- it's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.- Hiya. Hi, everybody.
0:01:17 > 0:01:18Afternoon.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Hello there.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Hello THERE.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26- It's looking very familiar, the first couple of podiums... - It hasn't changed. Extraordinary.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28LAUGHTER
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Michael and Julia went all the way to the head-to-head last time.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33- They were very, very good. - Very good.- Properly good.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37Then Michael accidentally said that Virginia Wade won Wimbledon in 1953,
0:01:37 > 0:01:39- which wasn't the best thing you did. - Not really, no.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Other than that they were terrific, so going to be hard to beat today.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45- And on podium two again, got Bryony and Sue.- Oh, they were unlucky.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48- They were unfortunate. - They were unlucky.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Which means they got knocked out in the first round.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52- They got knocked out in the first round.- Yeah.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56But fingers crossed this time, we'll see you going much further, I suspect.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59- And what a brilliant end to the last show?- What an end.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02Literally the perfect... If you had to write an episode of Pointless...
0:02:02 > 0:02:05- it's the perfect finish.- Yeah. - Three brilliant answers,
0:02:05 > 0:02:08first one went down to two points...
0:02:08 > 0:02:10second one went down to one point,
0:02:10 > 0:02:13third one went down to zero, it won the jackpot
0:02:13 > 0:02:15and in the perfect way, they ordered things perfectly,
0:02:15 > 0:02:17they scored it perfectly,
0:02:17 > 0:02:19- that's what we want to see.- Mmm. That was great.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Well, thanks very much indeed. Now, all our questions on Pointless
0:02:22 > 0:02:25have been put to 100 people before the show - our contestants
0:02:25 > 0:02:28need to find the obscure answers those 100 people didn't get.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Everyone's trying to find a pointless answer -
0:02:30 > 0:02:32an answer that none of our 100 people gave
0:02:32 > 0:02:35and each time that happens we will add 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38As you will have gathered, John and Tina won the jackpot last time
0:02:38 > 0:02:40so today's jackpot starts off back at...
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50The pair with the highest score at the end of this round will be
0:02:50 > 0:02:53eliminated, and remember, there is to be no conferring.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55OK, our first category today is...
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Pop music. Very popular on the first podium there...
0:03:00 > 0:03:01LAUGHTER
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Can you all decide who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:03:04 > 0:03:07And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12OK, the question concerns...
0:03:19 > 0:03:22- Richard...- On each pass we're going to show you the names
0:03:22 > 0:03:25of seven hit singles. We need you to tell us the name of the musician
0:03:25 > 0:03:27or the band who had a hit with that song, please.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30They've all got double vowels in their name, that's either...
0:03:30 > 0:03:32A-A, EE, II or OO.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34Give us the most obscure answer, you're going to score
0:03:34 > 0:03:37fewer points. An incorrect answer will score you 100 points.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40There's going to be 14 in all to have a go at at home, so...
0:03:40 > 0:03:42A-A, E-E, I-I, O-O.
0:03:42 > 0:03:43- No UU's?- No U-U's.
0:03:43 > 0:03:44LAUGHTER
0:03:44 > 0:03:47The Vacuum Brothers have not had a top-40 hit so...
0:03:47 > 0:03:48LAUGHTER
0:03:48 > 0:03:50I think A-A, E-E
0:03:50 > 0:03:53II, OO was a Eurovision Song Contest winner in the '70s.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57- It should be.- Thanks very much indeed. Now, we are looking for
0:03:57 > 0:04:00the bands or artists with pairs of vowels in their names
0:04:00 > 0:04:02who had hits with these songs in the year shown.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05Here's our first board of seven and we have...
0:04:20 > 0:04:22I'll read those all one last time...
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Michael and Julia, you all drew lots before the show
0:04:35 > 0:04:37and you are going to go first,
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Michael, I've seen people look happier, to be perfectly honest.
0:04:40 > 0:04:41LAUGHTER
0:04:41 > 0:04:44It's just about the worst board you could give me, actually,
0:04:44 > 0:04:47- but erm...- I'm sorry. Michael, we discovered last time that
0:04:47 > 0:04:52- you are a dog walker.- I am.- You are a dog walker, you walk them singly.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56- I do. - What did you do before you retired?
0:04:56 > 0:04:59I worked for quite a long time for a tyre company,
0:04:59 > 0:05:01an administrative clerk, that's all,
0:05:01 > 0:05:05and then before that in the travel industry for a fair number of years.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07OK, now, let's get this over with.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09I have a feeling you might surprise yourself...
0:05:09 > 0:05:11I... Surpass yourself, even.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14Well, I think I know Save Your Kisses For Me... Er...
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Oh, no...
0:05:18 > 0:05:22- Was Brotherhood Of Man, I think. - Brotherhood Of Man, says Michael.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Let's see if that's right and how many people said it...
0:05:27 > 0:05:29It's absolutely right.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33- Look at that, Michael.- Blimey!
0:05:33 > 0:05:34As I said...
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Surpassed yourself.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Very well played, Michael, yeah, very good,
0:05:42 > 0:05:45- that really was a Eurovision Song Contest winner.- Mm.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48- It's actually the biggest-selling winner of all time.- Good lord.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52- Is it?- Yeah, sold six million copies.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Thank you. Now... Sue, remind us what you do.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Oh, I'm a teacher... No, I'm not, I've retired!
0:05:58 > 0:06:01LAUGHTER
0:06:01 > 0:06:03- A French and German teacher. - That's right, thank you.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07How long ago did you hang up your mortarboard? Really?
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Is that the best I could come up with?
0:06:09 > 0:06:10LAUGHTER
0:06:10 > 0:06:13- How long ago did you retire? - Oh, God.
0:06:13 > 0:06:14Oh, gosh, about five years now, yes.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16And what do you do with your retirement?
0:06:16 > 0:06:20- What do you fill your time with? - I've started to learn tap dancing.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24And do ballroom dancing and I do Zumba, which is sort of
0:06:24 > 0:06:27keep-fit dancing which is brilliant, as well.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29Er, so, Sue...
0:06:29 > 0:06:31- What about this board? - It's terrible for me.
0:06:31 > 0:06:36I can only think of one band with a double vowel
0:06:36 > 0:06:38who were sort of around in the '60s and '70s
0:06:38 > 0:06:41so I don't know which one of the two '70s to choose,
0:06:41 > 0:06:44I don't think it's either of them...
0:06:44 > 0:06:45so...
0:06:45 > 0:06:48Riders On The Storm, maybe... I know it's going to be wrong,
0:06:48 > 0:06:50The Moody Blues.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52- The Moody Blues. - I'm sure it's wrong.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55OK, well, let's find out if it is. Let's see how many of our 100
0:06:55 > 0:06:58said The Moody Blues for Riders On The Storm...
0:07:00 > 0:07:04Oh, I'm sorry, Sue, I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Scores you the maximum of 100 points.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08It may well not be the last 100 points of the round
0:07:08 > 0:07:10- so don't give up hope yet. - I shouldn't be at all surprised.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13The Moody Blues has got two O's in it, so...
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Halfway there!
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Thanks very much. Nick, welcome to the show.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20- Hello, thank you. - Here from Dunstable.- Yes, I am.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22- What do you do, Nick? - I'm a pharmacist.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24And when you're not being a pharmacist, what do you do?
0:07:24 > 0:07:27When I'm not being a pharmacist, erm, I play handball,
0:07:27 > 0:07:30- I took this up after the London 2012 Olympic Games.- Did you?
0:07:30 > 0:07:32- I was literally about to say...- Yes.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Handball, massive uptake, wasn't there?
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Yeah, so I watched it on the Olympics.
0:07:36 > 0:07:37It looked like a great laugh.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40So I thought, "I'll see if there's anything going around."
0:07:40 > 0:07:44I moved to take up a job in a new town. Had a look on the internet
0:07:44 > 0:07:48- and found a handball club. Yeah. - OK, Nick, what about this board?
0:07:48 > 0:07:51- How do you find that? - At first look it wasn't great for me
0:07:51 > 0:07:55but I think I know two answers. I may know a third one.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57But I'm going to have to play to what everyone else has done
0:07:57 > 0:08:00and I think as long as I get a right answer I should be OK.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04So I'm going to say, 2005's Best Of You was by the Foo Fighters.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07The Foo Fighters, Foo Fighters, says Nick. Let's see if that
0:08:07 > 0:08:08is right and how many people said it.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Well, you're already lower than our highest score.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Our lowest score so far is 25
0:08:16 > 0:08:17and you've passed that too.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21Very well done.
0:08:21 > 0:08:22That's the way to do it.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Yes, a very good answer, very good song as well by the Foo Fighters.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31It's named after... That's what World War II pilots...
0:08:31 > 0:08:33They saw unidentified fireballs
0:08:33 > 0:08:35over Germany and they named them Foo Fighters.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39- Howard....- Yes.- Welcome to the show, Howard. Good to have you here.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42- Thank you.- Where are you from? - I'm from Christchurch in Dorset.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45- That's right. And what do you do? - I'm a freelance software engineer.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48- What do you do when you're not doing that?- Erm, I like to go walking,
0:08:48 > 0:08:51do some cycling and I support Rochdale Football Club
0:08:51 > 0:08:54and I try and see them whenever they're playing in the South.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57- I was going to say, that's quite a long way to travel.- Yes.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00- How come Rochdale?- There was a group of us at the university,
0:09:00 > 0:09:03we all loved our football and one day we decided,
0:09:03 > 0:09:04"Wouldn't it be easier, in years to come,
0:09:04 > 0:09:06"if we all supported the same team?"
0:09:06 > 0:09:10So one day we decided it would be Rochdale
0:09:10 > 0:09:13and 35 years later we're still going.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Brilliant, that's nice.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18And...children? Have they all become Rochdale fans as well?
0:09:18 > 0:09:21They did until they were old enough to have a choice...
0:09:21 > 0:09:24- LAUGHTER - Now they've chosen to go shopping.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28- Excellent. Howard, you're the last person to have this board.- Yes. - Do you fancy talking us through it
0:09:28 > 0:09:30and filling in as many of the blanks as you can?
0:09:30 > 0:09:35Erm... Well, yeah, luckily there was a couple left that were in my era.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38So I know 9 To 5 - I think that was Dolly Parton.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Night Fever, I think, was the Bee Gees.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43And I think that's it, really.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47So, erm, I think I would have to probably plump for 9 To 5,
0:09:47 > 0:09:48Dolly Parton.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50LOW GROAN FROM AUDIENCE
0:09:50 > 0:09:53You're going to say Dolly Parton for that.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57OK, bit of a murmur from the assembled company here.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00I think you might see why in a second. Dolly Parton - is it?
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Is that right?
0:10:06 > 0:10:10Oh, bad luck, Howard. I'm afraid an incorrect answer...
0:10:10 > 0:10:14No double vowels there, that's 100 points to you.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Yeah, you might have been thinking of Dooly Parton?
0:10:17 > 0:10:18LAUGHTER
0:10:18 > 0:10:21It was Sheena Easton's 9 To 5, I'm afraid.
0:10:21 > 0:10:22You were right about Night Fever,
0:10:22 > 0:10:25though, could have gone for that - the Bee Gees.
0:10:29 > 0:10:30..by Aaliyah.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35- Riders On The Storm?- The Doors.- Yup.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41I Begin To Wonder, everyone will know the name, it was a hit single,
0:10:41 > 0:10:45it was a pointless answer, well done if you said...
0:10:45 > 0:10:47- Ah!- Dannii Minogue.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Very well played if you said that.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52- Two I's, look.- There we are. I know she has, I've seen them.
0:10:52 > 0:10:53LAUGHTER
0:10:53 > 0:10:55She's well known for it.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58- Very well known for having two I's. - Yeah.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04So, we're halfway through the round, let's take a look at the scores...
0:11:04 > 0:11:09Nick and David, very well done, very good score.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12Michael, as I said, you would surprise yourself, you have.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Thank you.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17Sue and Bryony, you have been joined on 100, all is not lost,
0:11:17 > 0:11:18Howard and Gwil are also up there,
0:11:18 > 0:11:21which means, Gwil and Bryony, it's going to be between the pair of you
0:11:21 > 0:11:24to decide who stays and who leaves at the end of the round.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26Best of luck, we can come back down the line.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30Now, can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:11:30 > 0:11:32OK, we're going to put seven more songs on the board
0:11:32 > 0:11:33and here they are...
0:11:49 > 0:11:51I'll read those all one last time.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07There we are. Now, Gwil, remember, you are going to try and find
0:12:07 > 0:12:11the name of the band or the artist with a pair of vowels in their name
0:12:11 > 0:12:14who sang each of these songs and, obviously, you are going to try
0:12:14 > 0:12:16and find the one you think the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19- Gwil, welcome to the show. - Thank you.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22- What do you do, Gwil? - I'm a management consultant,
0:12:22 > 0:12:26for my sins, although I'm not actually in any work right now.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28So I'm living a life of leisure...
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Living a life of leisure... How do you fill your life of leisure?
0:12:31 > 0:12:36Mostly...by playing with my young kids, playing with my guitar.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38Playing the piano.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41And playing as much tennis as I can in this weather.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44Listen, you're joint high-scorer on 100, you have to score low here
0:12:44 > 0:12:47if we are to see you beyond the end of this round.
0:12:47 > 0:12:48I know one.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52So I have no choice... I'll just have to...
0:12:52 > 0:12:54see how it goes. So, Cool For Cats...
0:12:54 > 0:12:57- Squeeze.- Squeeze, says Gwil, for Cool For Cats.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59No red line for you, as you're joint high-scorers.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02Let's see how many of our 100 people said Squeeze.
0:13:04 > 0:13:05It's right...
0:13:11 > 0:13:12Not bad at all, Gwil.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18Well played, Gwil, that's what you had to do. Squeeze are one of those bands,
0:13:18 > 0:13:20- you remember every couple of years how brilliant they are.- Yeah.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24And listen to them for a bit and then you forget and then you remember again.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27- You've just reminded me again.- They don't really fit into any sort of...
0:13:27 > 0:13:29grouping, did they? They were just, kind of, themselves.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Brilliant band, anyway.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33If you don't know Squeeze you should check them out.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36- Now... David...- Hi.
0:13:36 > 0:13:37David, what do you do?
0:13:37 > 0:13:40I work for Global Radio, revenue management analyst.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43- And what do you do when you're not doing that?- I play the cello.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46I've played the cello since the age of eight.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49Played in orchestras and chamber music groups, been touring
0:13:49 > 0:13:53around Europe, which is really fun. And...yeah, still
0:13:53 > 0:13:55continue doing it to this day.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Listen, the good news is you're through to Round Two
0:13:57 > 0:14:00even if you score 100 points, but I have a feeling...
0:14:00 > 0:14:03- I have a feeling you might be quite good at this.- Come on, really(!)
0:14:03 > 0:14:04LAUGHTER
0:14:04 > 0:14:06This is not my round at all.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09Luckily, as you say, we're through. I'm going to have to go with
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Dancing In The Dark, which I think is in that awful film
0:14:11 > 0:14:14and I hope that it's Patrick Swayze and it ends in a double E...
0:14:15 > 0:14:18..OK...
0:14:18 > 0:14:19LAUGHTER
0:14:19 > 0:14:22- OK, now, er, Patrick Swayze.- Yeah.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Did he sing Dancing In The Dark? No red line for you...
0:14:25 > 0:14:29for the... Thank goodness reason that you're already through.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31LAUGHTER
0:14:31 > 0:14:34Let's see how many of our 100 people said Patrick Swayze.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40No, not by Patrick Swayze on this occasion.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43That scores you 100 points. Takes you up to 125.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46- Sorry, David, that's a gutsy answer, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48That's really giving it some.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52That's what we call, on this show, having both fingers crossed.
0:14:52 > 0:14:53LAUGHTER
0:14:53 > 0:14:57- Bryony, welcome back.- Hello. - Great to have you back on the show.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Do you know what... When you were on last time, you told us
0:14:59 > 0:15:02- that you were a keen theatregoer. - Yes.
0:15:02 > 0:15:06And best of all that you support a lot of fringe theatre.
0:15:06 > 0:15:10- Fringe theatres are theatres above pubs and things like that.- Yes.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13Which is where all our really good actors, good playwrights, good
0:15:13 > 0:15:15directors, actually start out
0:15:15 > 0:15:18and it's through encouragement of people like you that they...
0:15:18 > 0:15:21They get to do better, so that's a very worthy and good thing to do.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24- Thank you.- Now, listen, you have a task here.- I know.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27You have a task. Are you up to the task?
0:15:27 > 0:15:30I do know a few of the answers...
0:15:30 > 0:15:33so it's just thinking which one's going to be the best.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38I'm starting to doubt myself but I'm going to go Wicked Game is
0:15:38 > 0:15:39Chris Isaaks.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43- Wicked Game, Chris Isaaks...- Isaak. - ..I think that sounds good enough.
0:15:43 > 0:15:48Let's see. Obviously, it has to be right, but here is your red line.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Oh, no, bad luck, Bryony, that's an incorrect answer.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01Scores you the maximum of 100 points, takes you up to 200.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Sorry, Bryony, can't take it, I'll explain why at the end of the round.
0:16:06 > 0:16:07Now, Julia...
0:16:07 > 0:16:08SHE LAUGHS
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Julia...
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Now, here's good news, you're through, you are through to the
0:16:14 > 0:16:17next round, so, frankly, you could just cough and you'd go through.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19LAUGHTER
0:16:20 > 0:16:24But before you do that...let's just recap what you did last time.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27You did incredibly well, we had consistent low scores,
0:16:27 > 0:16:31- low team scores from you and Michael.- We were done in by alloys.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35- Alloys.- We didn't know any apart from the very obvious ones.
0:16:35 > 0:16:40Um...do you fancy volunteering any answers for this board
0:16:40 > 0:16:43- behind me?- I feel I ought to know who's School's Out
0:16:43 > 0:16:46but I can't remember, and as somebody kindly mentioned it...
0:16:46 > 0:16:50It's the only one I can think of, I will say Moody Blues again
0:16:50 > 0:16:53and take your pick which one I'm going to pick on.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56- Let's say School's Out, Moody Blues. - OK, The Moody Blues says Julia
0:16:56 > 0:17:00for School's Out. Let's see if that's right and how many people said it,
0:17:00 > 0:17:02no red line, as you're already through.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09Not The Moody Blues, scores you 100 points,
0:17:09 > 0:17:12takes your total up to 125.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14I said that I thought Sue's 100 wouldn't be the last
0:17:14 > 0:17:19- of the round. I was right. Quite a lot.- Five out of eight.- Yeah.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22- That's not bad going. - Not bad at all.- Not Moody Blues.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24School's Out is... You know that?
0:17:25 > 0:17:27- Alice Cooper.- Alice Cooper!
0:17:27 > 0:17:29Oh, that's the one I was trying to think of.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32OK, you can have the points, then(!) LAUGHTER
0:17:32 > 0:17:34- As long as you're not kidding us. - No, honestly.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36All right, you can have it.
0:17:36 > 0:17:37LAUGHTER
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Wicked Game, it's not Chris Isaaks, it's Chris Isaak.
0:17:39 > 0:17:40GROANING
0:17:40 > 0:17:44And I'm sorry, I can't take it, it's not fair on podium four
0:17:44 > 0:17:46if I give it to you, I'm so sorry.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50It would have scored you ten points as well, it's a great answer.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52Dancing In The Dark was...
0:17:56 > 0:17:59Now, Wavin' Flag was the song that was everywhere during the World Cup,
0:17:59 > 0:18:01and it was by...
0:18:03 > 0:18:07The one at the bottom... Some people at home would have got this...
0:18:07 > 0:18:09In amongst many, many letters...
0:18:10 > 0:18:12It's got a couple...
0:18:15 > 0:18:18And the top one, I know some people would have got this
0:18:18 > 0:18:21and they will be ashamed of themselves... It's...
0:18:23 > 0:18:26The younger brother of one of the Backstreet Boys.
0:18:26 > 0:18:31Thank you very much indeed. So at the end of our first round, the pair we have to say goodbye...
0:18:31 > 0:18:35Oh, I'm so sorry, so unlucky, Bryony and Sue.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38Oh, the hardest thing to trip up on as well.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41And I'm afraid it means we... end up saying goodbye
0:18:41 > 0:18:44to fantastic contestants like you. I'm so sorry but thank you so much for playing,
0:18:44 > 0:18:47it's been great having you on the show, Bryony and Sue.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51But for the remaining three pairs it's now time for Round Two.
0:18:56 > 0:18:57So, three pairs remain.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00At the end of this round we'll be saying goodbye to another
0:19:00 > 0:19:02pair in time for our head-to-head round.
0:19:02 > 0:19:03That was very close.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06Very close. Best answer of that round was yours, Nick,
0:19:06 > 0:19:08with the Foo Fighters, so, very well done.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11But then each pair had a 100-scorer among them.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14So quite hard to gauge at this stage who is ahead of the game,
0:19:14 > 0:19:17but I think it will be close. Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20Our category for Round Two is...
0:19:22 > 0:19:25Can you all decide who's going to go first and who's going to go second?
0:19:27 > 0:19:29And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35OK, let's see what the question is. Here it comes. We gave 100 people
0:19:35 > 0:19:39100 seconds to name as many new countries as they could.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41New countries, Richard.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44We're essentially looking for any new country that's
0:19:44 > 0:19:47come into existence after 1991.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Any nation that's been a sovereign state in its own right and a member
0:19:50 > 0:19:52of the UN. Very, very best of luck.
0:19:52 > 0:19:56Thanks very much, Richard. Now, Michael...new countries.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Oh, dear. Um... Have a real stab at this one...
0:20:00 > 0:20:01Montenegro.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Montenegro, says Michael.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07Let's see how many of our 100 people said Montenegro.
0:20:09 > 0:20:10- Oh!- That's good.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16Still going down...
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Good answer, Michael.
0:20:22 > 0:20:26Have you spotted there? That's twice Michael has done that now.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Both rounds he said...
0:20:28 > 0:20:30"I'm going to really just have a guess."
0:20:30 > 0:20:33And both rounds come out with perfectly adequate answers.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36- We look very dimly on that, Michael.- I'm sorry.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39It's absolutely fine, but we have been cracking down on it...
0:20:39 > 0:20:40LAUGHTER
0:20:40 > 0:20:43I'm just giving you a little warning, if I hear it one more time...
0:20:43 > 0:20:46- It's not us, it's the Federation. - Yeah, they don't like it.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49They won't have it, so I will be forced to give you a yellow card if
0:20:49 > 0:20:52you do it one more time... I'm so sorry.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54If it was just me, I wouldn't, but...
0:20:54 > 0:20:57- I understand.- Yep.- I deserve it.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01I think you do. Keep an eye on your game, that's all.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03LAUGHTER
0:21:03 > 0:21:05- Nick...- Um, yeah.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07There's a few I can think of but I'm not quite sure
0:21:07 > 0:21:10if they're all part of the UN, so it's going to be a bit of a guess.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14Most of my geography knowledge about countries comes from sports teams,
0:21:14 > 0:21:18so I'm going to go for the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23Let's see if that's right, and if it is,
0:21:23 > 0:21:24let's see how many said it.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28It's right.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Very well done indeed, Nick.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41- Great score, nine. - That's very well played.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44I've said before, loving sport teaches you an awful lot more
0:21:44 > 0:21:48than sport, gives you geography and all sorts of different things.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52Macedonia - it's got the... Voted the second best flag in the world,
0:21:52 > 0:21:56- the Macedonian flag.- Second best? - Yeah.- That's fair enough.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59Bhutan is the winner, had the best flag.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01- Now then, Howard.- Yes.
0:22:01 > 0:22:06Erm, yes, geography's not my strong point...
0:22:06 > 0:22:09so I guess I'll follow the lead of my fellow contestants
0:22:09 > 0:22:12- and I'll go for Slovenia. - Slovenia, says Howard.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15Let's see if it's right, and how many said it.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21It's right. Nine is our high score, would you believe it?
0:22:21 > 0:22:23And nine our low.
0:22:23 > 0:22:2511 our high score, 9 our low...
0:22:32 > 0:22:34Another good answer. Seems terrifying, this round,
0:22:34 > 0:22:37- but when you start thinking about it, you think, "I do know a few".- Yeah.
0:22:37 > 0:22:41Very well done. Halfway through the round, let's take a look at those scores.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44Howard, the best score of that pass, so very well done.
0:22:44 > 0:22:45Then up to 9...
0:22:45 > 0:22:48Up another 2 to 11, where we find Michael and Julia.
0:22:48 > 0:22:52Very, very close you are, but, Julia, you happen to be ahead,
0:22:52 > 0:22:55so we need a nice low-scoring answer at the very end of the round,
0:22:55 > 0:22:58and hope that's enough to get you back into the head-to-head again.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01Going to come back down the line, can the second players please
0:23:01 > 0:23:02step up to the podium?
0:23:04 > 0:23:07OK, Gwil, we're looking for countries which became member states
0:23:07 > 0:23:11of the UN in their own right from 1991 onwards.
0:23:11 > 0:23:16Well, in all honesty I don't really have a clue.
0:23:16 > 0:23:20Um...so I'm going to have to take a pot-luck guess.
0:23:20 > 0:23:24It's something that might work - Bosnia.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27OK, Bosnia, says Gwil, Bosnia.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30You are the low scorers at the moment, on seven. The high scorers
0:23:30 > 0:23:33are Michael and Julia, which means a score of three or less would
0:23:33 > 0:23:36prevent you from becoming the new high scorers.
0:23:36 > 0:23:37There is your red line.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40Let's see if Bosnia can get you down there.
0:23:42 > 0:23:43It's right.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55Takes your total up to 29.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58Yeah, or Bosnia Herzegovina, but Bosnia is an acceptable answer.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00David...
0:24:00 > 0:24:04Yes, I've got a few that I'm not sure whether they're
0:24:04 > 0:24:07before 1991, so I'm just going to have to go...
0:24:08 > 0:24:10..Serbia.
0:24:10 > 0:24:15Serbia, says David. The high scorers are Gwil and Howard on 29,
0:24:15 > 0:24:17so 19 or less gets you through.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20Let's see how many people said Serbia.
0:24:20 > 0:24:21There's your red line.
0:24:23 > 0:24:24It's right.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32Very well done. 17, you are through.
0:24:33 > 0:24:3526 your total.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39We're getting a lot of value out of the former Yugoslavia, aren't we...
0:24:39 > 0:24:41LAUGHTER
0:24:41 > 0:24:44..in this round. We don't have many Serbian words in the English
0:24:44 > 0:24:48language, but paprika is one and, perhaps, more importantly, vampire.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50- Yeah.- That's a big word.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53Vampeer. Sorry, I'm just saying it in Serbian, there.
0:24:53 > 0:24:54LAUGHTER
0:24:54 > 0:24:57Do that again. I wasn't aware you are...
0:24:57 > 0:24:59- IMITATES EASTERN EUROPEAN ACCENT: - Vompeer.
0:24:59 > 0:25:03- I thought it sounded more Serbian the first time.- Vompeer.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05I just made it "Wom-peer." I thought it might help it.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08Amazing you just pick up on the little nuance(!)
0:25:08 > 0:25:10LAUGHTER
0:25:10 > 0:25:14- Extraordinary.- Yeah, now, Julia. Listen...
0:25:14 > 0:25:18All joking aside, we have a serious job to do here.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21The high scorers are Gwil and Howard on 29. You are on 11,
0:25:21 > 0:25:23you have to score 17 or less.
0:25:23 > 0:25:27I've run out of Yugoslavian countries. There is
0:25:27 > 0:25:29East Timor, I think.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32But I'm going to go for South Sudan.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34South Sudan, says Julia.
0:25:34 > 0:25:38OK, South Sudan. It has to score 17 or less. There's your red line.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41Will it get you below that red line, I wonder?
0:25:41 > 0:25:43Let's find out - South Sudan.
0:25:45 > 0:25:46It's right.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53You've done it. Very well done, indeed.
0:25:56 > 0:26:00And you are in the head-to-head for the second time.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04Very well played. The world's newest nation, South Sudan.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Now, let's take a look at some pointless answers.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10All sorts of different ones. Some countries joined the UN,
0:26:10 > 0:26:12so they're not necessarily new countries.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15Marshall Islands and Micronesia - both in the Pacific.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19Monaco joined in 1993, smaller than Central Park, Monaco.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26Palau, again in the Pacific.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36Let's take a look at the top three answers.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49Thanks very much indeed, Richard,
0:26:49 > 0:26:51so I'm afraid, at the end of the second round, it's Gwil
0:26:51 > 0:26:54and Howard we have to say goodbye to, with a comparatively low...
0:26:54 > 0:26:58Sorry, comparatively high score, literally speaking, but low score of 29.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00That was just a very, very low-scoring round,
0:27:00 > 0:27:05and very close in the end. But this is where we say goodbye, but we will see you again next time,
0:27:05 > 0:27:07Gwil and Howard, and we'll look forward to that.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09- Thanks very much for playing. - Thank you.
0:27:11 > 0:27:15But for the remaining two pairs it's now time for the head-to-head.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21Congratulations, David and Nick, Michael and Julia,
0:27:21 > 0:27:23you are now one step closer to the final and a chance
0:27:23 > 0:27:26to play for the jackpot, which currently stands at...
0:27:26 > 0:27:28We have to decide who's going to play for the money
0:27:28 > 0:27:30and to do that you are now going to go head-to-head.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32The difference is now you are allowed to confer, and
0:27:32 > 0:27:35the first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38Now, Michael and Julia, you were in the head-to-head only last time,
0:27:38 > 0:27:40you are our low-scoring pair.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44How do you feel about your rivals today?
0:27:44 > 0:27:46Pretty good, pretty sharp.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49- We're going to get stitched up by a couple of young boys.- Yeah.
0:27:49 > 0:27:50LAUGHTER
0:27:50 > 0:27:54There was a strange look in your eye as you said that, Julia!
0:27:54 > 0:27:58- David and Nick...? - Again, we're going to get stitched up, as well, I think.
0:27:58 > 0:27:59LAUGHTER
0:27:59 > 0:28:03You've played consistently well, some lovely low-scoring from both pairs.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06I always say this, but it's usually the case -
0:28:06 > 0:28:09it's always going to be close, but best of luck to both pairs.
0:28:09 > 0:28:10Let's play the head-to-head.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19OK, here comes your first question, and it concerns...
0:28:23 > 0:28:27Going to show you five pictures now of fictional bands from different films - we just need you to tell us
0:28:27 > 0:28:30the names of the films they are from. Very best of luck.
0:28:30 > 0:28:31Thanks very much, Richard,
0:28:31 > 0:28:34let's reveal our five fictional bands, and here they are.
0:28:34 > 0:28:35We've got...
0:28:54 > 0:28:56There we are, five fictional bands.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58We're looking for the names of the films they appeared in.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00Now, David and Nick, you've played
0:29:00 > 0:29:02best throughout the show so far, so you will go first.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12OK, we think we know two.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15So it's just a case of trying to work out which one
0:29:15 > 0:29:17we think is going to be better, so...
0:29:18 > 0:29:22Mm, going to go for A, which is School Of Rock.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25School Of Rock, say David and Nick for A.
0:29:25 > 0:29:26Now, Michael and Julia.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28SHE CHUCKLES
0:29:28 > 0:29:32Do you want to have a... punt at any of those?
0:29:32 > 0:29:35Go on, Julia, I'll leave it to you.
0:29:35 > 0:29:36SHE MURMURS
0:29:36 > 0:29:38I'm sure you'll do it.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41- Ya-ya-ya.- C, The Blues Brothers or something or other.- Could be.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44- Shall we say that? - Go on, then, you say it.
0:29:44 > 0:29:48- C, The Blues Brothers.- The Blues Brothers, say Michael and Julia.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50So we have School Of Rock and we have The Blues Brothers. David and
0:29:50 > 0:29:53Nick said School Of Rock, let's see if that's right
0:29:53 > 0:29:55and let's see how many people said it.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57It's right.
0:30:07 > 0:30:0920 for School Of Rock. Now, Michael and Julia have gone for
0:30:09 > 0:30:12The Blues Brothers for C. Let's see if that's right
0:30:12 > 0:30:13and how many people said it.
0:30:17 > 0:30:19- It's right.- Oh, God!
0:30:24 > 0:30:28So there we are. David and Nick, well done. After one question you are up 1-0.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31Well done, David and Nick. Have you seen School Of Rock?
0:30:31 > 0:30:33- I love School Of Rock. - Great film.- Yeah.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35Especially if you watch it with kids.
0:30:35 > 0:30:38- It's just a wonderful film. He's brilliant in it, Jack Black.- Yeah.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41B is a pointless answer.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44That's the band Stillwater, from...
0:30:44 > 0:30:45Very well done if you said that.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51Oh, I thought of The Commitments...
0:30:53 > 0:30:54So it would have won you the points,
0:30:54 > 0:30:57and this last one would have won you the point as well, which is...
0:30:57 > 0:30:59- Spinal Tap.- Yeah.
0:31:00 > 0:31:01Funniest film ever made, I think.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06Thank you very much. Here comes your second question -
0:31:06 > 0:31:08Michael and Julia, you get to answer it first
0:31:08 > 0:31:12but you have to win it to stay in the game. Good luck. It concerns...
0:31:17 > 0:31:20Going to show you five clues to facts about F Scott Fitzgerald's
0:31:20 > 0:31:23novel The Great Gatsby. Can you give us the most obscure answer?
0:31:23 > 0:31:26Thanks very much. Let's reveal our five clues, and here they are...
0:31:44 > 0:31:45I'll read those all again.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03There we are, five clues to facts about The Great Gatsby.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05Michael and Julia will go first.
0:32:05 > 0:32:09- THEY WHISPER:- The British-born star was Alan Ladd.- Really?
0:32:11 > 0:32:15- We'll for the... Are you sure? - Pretty sure the star...
0:32:16 > 0:32:19Pretty sure the star was Alan Ladd.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23OK, Alan Ladd, the star of the 1974...
0:32:23 > 0:32:26- Oh, the '74 film!- '74, yes. Oh.
0:32:26 > 0:32:29Alan Ladd. OK.
0:32:29 > 0:32:32David and Nick, talk us through the board if you can.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35I have the feeling the director was Baz Luhrmann.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37But apart from that... Dave?
0:32:37 > 0:32:40I'm drawing a blank on this one, I'm afraid. I've seen the film, haven't read the book,
0:32:40 > 0:32:43so I guess I should know more, but I don't.
0:32:43 > 0:32:46I would go... I think we should go for the director as we're both,
0:32:46 > 0:32:48sort of...
0:32:48 > 0:32:50OK, we'll go for the director being Baz Luhrmann.
0:32:50 > 0:32:55Baz Luhrmann, you are going to say, for the director of the 2013 film.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57Michael and Julia said Alan Ladd, the star of the 1974
0:32:57 > 0:33:00film version of the novel. Let's see if that's right
0:33:00 > 0:33:03and how many of our 100 people said it.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08Oh, not Alan Ladd, I'm afraid.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11David and Nick, that means you merely have to be correct with
0:33:11 > 0:33:14your answer, Baz Luhrmann, and you go straight through to the final.
0:33:14 > 0:33:16Let's see if that's right, Baz Luhrmann.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20Yep, it's right, very well done.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25Wow! Look at that!
0:33:27 > 0:33:28That's a great answer.
0:33:30 > 0:33:34And it means, David and Nick, that after only two questions you are straight through to the final 2-0.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36Well played, gents.
0:33:36 > 0:33:40- Julia, that was very unlucky. He did play Gatsby, Alan Ladd.- Much earlier.
0:33:40 > 0:33:46- In '49, unfortunately. The '74 version was Robert Redford.- Yeah.
0:33:46 > 0:33:50Would have scored you 17 points, though. The first name of the author?
0:33:50 > 0:33:56- Francis.- Francis, yes. Would have scored you 9 points. Jordan Baker?
0:33:56 > 0:34:00- Tennis?- No, she cheated at golf.
0:34:00 > 0:34:01It would have scored you two points.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03It's the best answer up there, actually.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06- And the decade the novel was first published?- 1920s.- 1920s, yes.
0:34:06 > 0:34:091925, it was published. Would have scored you 18.
0:34:09 > 0:34:12- We would have lost anyway. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14So the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:34:14 > 0:34:16I'm afraid, is Michael and Julia.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19Two solid performances in two consecutive Pointlesses
0:34:19 > 0:34:22but I'm afraid you haven't made it beyond the head-to-head round.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25I'm sorry. But it's been great having you on the show.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27Wonderful contestants. Thank you so much, Michael and Julia!
0:34:27 > 0:34:30APPLAUSE
0:34:30 > 0:34:33But for David and Nick, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:37 > 0:34:38Congratulations, David and Nick.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40You fought off all the competition
0:34:40 > 0:34:42and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:34:50 > 0:34:54and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £1,000.
0:34:54 > 0:34:55You've done very well.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58Only one appearance on the show, straight through to the final.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00Exquisitely handled, which is nothing less than we'd
0:35:00 > 0:35:02expect from a handball player, of course!
0:35:02 > 0:35:04As always, you get to choose your category,
0:35:04 > 0:35:07and here are the four categories you can choose from.
0:35:07 > 0:35:12East Anglia, Irish and Northern Irish sport,
0:35:12 > 0:35:14literary awards, Shakespeare.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19- What do you reckon?- Well, I did go to university in East Anglia
0:35:19 > 0:35:20so maybe that's good one.
0:35:20 > 0:35:24- I know nothing about East Anglia. - I know nothing about Irish sports or literary awards.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26- I don't really know much about Shakespeare.- Up to you.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28I'd go either East Anglia or Shakespeare.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31If you're happy with East Anglia, I'll go with that.
0:35:31 > 0:35:32- Shall we give it a go? - If you want to.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34Let's give it a go. We'll go for East Anglia.
0:35:34 > 0:35:36East Anglia it is. Richard.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38As so often with these geographical ones,
0:35:38 > 0:35:40there's three very different questions,
0:35:40 > 0:35:42so hopefully there is something that will suit you.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44We are looking for...
0:35:44 > 0:35:46Any top-40 single by The Darkness.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48They are from East Anglia originally.
0:35:48 > 0:35:52So I need a top-40 single from The Darkness, up to October 2013.
0:35:52 > 0:35:55Any of the cast of Alan Partridge Alpha Papa according to IMDb.
0:35:55 > 0:35:59Anyone with a credited appearance in Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa,
0:35:59 > 0:36:03or any of the members of Ipswich's 1981 UEFA Cup-winning side.
0:36:03 > 0:36:05SCATTERED LAUGHTER
0:36:05 > 0:36:08Genuinely, those last two are my perfect questions. Genuinely are.
0:36:08 > 0:36:12Top 40 singles by The Darkness, cast of Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa,
0:36:12 > 0:36:15and members of Ipswich's brilliant 1981 UEFA Cup winning side.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18I know people at home will concentrate on different ones there.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21Very best of luck at home. Very, very best of luck to you as well.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23Thank you very much indeed.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25Now, as always, you have up to a minute to come up with
0:36:25 > 0:36:28three answers and all you need to win that jackpot of £1,000
0:36:28 > 0:36:30is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33The answers you provide can come from any one of those categories
0:36:33 > 0:36:36and how you spread them across the categories is entirely up to you.
0:36:36 > 0:36:40It could all come from one of the categories or one from each. Ready?
0:36:40 > 0:36:42- As ready as will ever be, yes.- OK.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock. There they are.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46Your time starts now.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49I love Alan Partridge but I've only seen Alpha Papa once.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51- Do you remember anyone in it? - Colm Meaney.- That's good.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54I can't remember any of the other actors.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57- Colm Meaney's quite a big one. - Top 40 singles. What do you reckon?
0:36:57 > 0:37:00Well, there was the obvious one. I Believe In A Thing Called Love.
0:37:00 > 0:37:02There was a Christmas one but I can't remember if it was just
0:37:02 > 0:37:05Justin Hawkins or whether it's the entire Darkness.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07It was called Christmas Time (Don't Let The Bells End),
0:37:07 > 0:37:09- which is interesting. - I remember that one.
0:37:09 > 0:37:12I think it was The Darkness. Do you know any Ipswich players?
0:37:12 > 0:37:15I imagine it was the Bobby Robson's side. But I don't know.
0:37:15 > 0:37:18OK, we can guess him. So we've got three answers.
0:37:18 > 0:37:20Members of the winning side,
0:37:20 > 0:37:22does it include members of the management team?
0:37:22 > 0:37:25- No, I guess not.- I think it's going to be players, isn't it?
0:37:25 > 0:37:27The Darkness. Let me think.
0:37:29 > 0:37:32I think maybe Rebecca Front was in Alan Partridge. I can't remember.
0:37:32 > 0:37:35OK, Rebecca Front. And who was the other one? Colm...
0:37:35 > 0:37:39- Colm Meaney, but he is a really obvious one.- OK.- Ten seconds left.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42- It's not any good, is it? Do you know any of these?- No, I don't.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44Shall we go for The Darkness and Alan Partridge?
0:37:44 > 0:37:47- We're going to have to. - That is your time up.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49What are your three answers going to be?
0:37:49 > 0:37:51Could you say which category they from?
0:37:51 > 0:37:54So, for top 40 singles by The Darkness...
0:37:56 > 0:38:01- Growing On Me.- Growing On Me. - Yes.- OK, Growing On Me.
0:38:01 > 0:38:07- Cast of Alan Partridge, um...- Was it Colm...- Colm Meaney was in it.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10- He's going to be a really obvious one.- Colm Meaney.
0:38:10 > 0:38:16I can't remember if she was in it or not. Rebecca Front, then.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19And Rebecca Front. OK. Three answers there.
0:38:19 > 0:38:23Of those three, which do you think is your most likely to be pointless?
0:38:23 > 0:38:26I think the only one that is correct is Colm Meaney, so it's that one.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29Let's put that one last. Least likely to be pointless?
0:38:29 > 0:38:34- Rebecca Front.- OK. And Growing On Me in the middle.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37OK, let's pop those up on the board in that order, and here they are.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40We've got Rebecca Front, Growing On Me and Colm Meaney.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45Well, very best of luck. Your first answer was Rebecca Front.
0:38:45 > 0:38:47The one you thought that was probably least likely to be
0:38:47 > 0:38:50pointless but remember, only one of these has to be pointless
0:38:50 > 0:38:52for you to win that jackpot of £1,000.
0:38:52 > 0:38:55What would you do with your share of that, David?
0:38:55 > 0:38:57I've been to Canada before. I'd love to go back to Vancouver.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00I've heard so many good things about it so it would certainly go
0:39:00 > 0:39:03- towards a trip to the West Coast. - Very good. Nick, how about you?
0:39:03 > 0:39:06Yes, sort of similar to David, I'm looking to go to New York
0:39:06 > 0:39:08with my girlfriend so it would stretch it out a bit more,
0:39:08 > 0:39:11- go for a bit longer, have a better stay, really.- Excellent.
0:39:11 > 0:39:12Well, best of luck.
0:39:12 > 0:39:14Three good-looking answers on the board there.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16Let's hope they're all right.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18Let's hope at least one of them is pointless.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21Rebecca Front, your least confident answer.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23Obviously it has to be correct, and it has to be pointless
0:39:23 > 0:39:25to win the jackpot, so for £1,000,
0:39:25 > 0:39:28how many people said Rebecca Front was in the cast of Alpha Papa?
0:39:31 > 0:39:34Oh, bad luck. I'm afraid she wasn't.
0:39:35 > 0:39:39Which means you only have two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:39:39 > 0:39:41Your second answer, Growing On Me.
0:39:41 > 0:39:45In this case, we were looking for singles by The Darkness.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47Again, this has to be correct.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50I didn't even hear you mention it during your minute. Did it suddenly...
0:39:50 > 0:39:53I know it's a song by The Darkness but I don't know if they released
0:39:53 > 0:39:56it as a single or not, which is the issue, so it's definitely by them.
0:39:56 > 0:39:58Well, it has to be correct,
0:39:58 > 0:40:00then it has to be pointless to win that jackpot,
0:40:00 > 0:40:05so for £1,000, let's see how many of 100 people said Growing On Me.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07It's right.
0:40:07 > 0:40:09This could be an excellent answer.
0:40:09 > 0:40:12David and Nick, your first answer, Rebecca Front, was incorrect
0:40:12 > 0:40:16but Growing On Me by The Darkness is going down through single figures.
0:40:16 > 0:40:17Still going down...
0:40:17 > 0:40:18Oh. One!
0:40:18 > 0:40:21GROANS AND APPLAUSE
0:40:26 > 0:40:28Good answer. Great score.
0:40:28 > 0:40:32But sadly, in this round, it has to be pointless.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34So only one more chance.
0:40:34 > 0:40:37Everything rides on your final answer, Colm Meaney.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39Obviously it has to be right. You're pretty sure it is right.
0:40:39 > 0:40:43- You think it might be quite obvious. - Yes, it is very obvious.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45OK, well, let's find out.
0:40:45 > 0:40:47If it is pointless, it will win you £1,000.
0:40:47 > 0:40:49How many of our 100 people named Colm Meaney
0:40:49 > 0:40:51as a cast member of Alpha Papa?
0:40:54 > 0:40:55It's right.
0:40:55 > 0:40:59So your first answer, Rebecca Front, turned out to be incorrect.
0:40:59 > 0:41:02The second answer, Growing On Me, took us all the way down to one.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05Your third and final answer, Colm Meaney, still going down.
0:41:05 > 0:41:06Still down it goes.
0:41:06 > 0:41:07You've done it!
0:41:07 > 0:41:12Very well done indeed. That is fantastic. What a great answer.
0:41:14 > 0:41:15Very well done indeed.
0:41:20 > 0:41:24- I don't know how. He's the main baddie.- Congratulations.
0:41:24 > 0:41:27Colm Meaney was a pointless answer, which means you leave here
0:41:27 > 0:41:28with that jackpot of £1,000.
0:41:28 > 0:41:31Very well done indeed, David and Nick.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37Yes, he's one of the big stars of that film. It's a terrific film.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40He's great in it. How close were you to not saying him at all because...?
0:41:40 > 0:41:44Very close. Apart from Steve Coogan, I couldn't think of anyone else.
0:41:44 > 0:41:48I can think of the characters but I couldn't think of the actual actors.
0:41:48 > 0:41:50Funnily enough, the only people who got any points at all in that
0:41:50 > 0:41:54category were Steve Coogan, Tim Key, Sean Pertwee and Anna Maxwell Martin.
0:41:54 > 0:41:57Every single other person in the film was pointless answer,
0:41:57 > 0:41:58including Colm Meaney.
0:41:58 > 0:42:01I genuinely saw you just about to say, "We won't go with him at all,
0:42:01 > 0:42:03"let's go for a risk."
0:42:03 > 0:42:05And I'm very, very glad you stuck to your guns,
0:42:05 > 0:42:07because that would have been awful.
0:42:07 > 0:42:09Let's take a look at pointless answers
0:42:09 > 0:42:11in all the different categories.
0:42:11 > 0:42:13Top 40 singles by The Darkness,
0:42:13 > 0:42:16both of these from the One Way Ticket To Hell...And Back album.
0:42:16 > 0:42:18Girlfriend. Is It Just Me?
0:42:18 > 0:42:20Cast of Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23It's almost all of them. There's Colm Meaney, the brilliant Nigel Lindsay.
0:42:23 > 0:42:26Those last two have both been on Pointless.
0:42:26 > 0:42:27Phil Cornwell and Simon Greenall.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30Phil Cornwell plays Dave Clifton, the other DJ. Simon Greenall
0:42:30 > 0:42:33is Geordie Michael. Phil Cornwell has been a pointless answer before.
0:42:33 > 0:42:36He's the first person ever to have got a pointless answer
0:42:36 > 0:42:39and been a pointless answer, Phil Cornwell, which is very impressive.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42And let's take a look at the Ipswich team.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44There's 11 of them but there's only two pointless answers.
0:42:44 > 0:42:47People remember that team so well. I'll go through the team.
0:42:47 > 0:42:50John Wark, Terry Butcher, Mick Mills, Eric Gates, Paul Mariner,
0:42:50 > 0:42:53Alan Brazil, Arnold Muhren, Frans Thijssen, Russell Osman
0:42:53 > 0:42:55and then these two were pointless answers.
0:42:55 > 0:42:57Paul Cooper, the goalie, and Steve McCall,
0:42:57 > 0:42:59who came in for George Burley. Both of those pointless.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01Very well done if you said either of those.
0:43:01 > 0:43:05- Good category for you in the end, it turns out.- Thanks very much.
0:43:05 > 0:43:07Well, thanks once again to our winning players,
0:43:07 > 0:43:10David and Nick, who go away with today's jackpot of £1,000.
0:43:10 > 0:43:11APPLAUSE
0:43:13 > 0:43:17Join us next time, when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.
0:43:17 > 0:43:19- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...- Goodbye.
0:43:19 > 0:43:21And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
