0:00:19 > 0:00:20APPLAUSE

0:00:20 > 0:00:22Thank you very much indeed.

0:00:22 > 0:00:24Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,

0:00:24 > 0:00:26the show that puts obscure knowledge to the test.

0:00:26 > 0:00:28Let's meet today's players.

0:00:32 > 0:00:36- And couple number one. - Hi, I'm Tony, this is my son Andrew.

0:00:36 > 0:00:38I come from Wiltshere, Andrew comes from Somerset.

0:00:38 > 0:00:42- Couple number two.- I'm Emma, this is Simon and we're here from York.

0:00:42 > 0:00:44Couple number three.

0:00:44 > 0:00:46Hello, I'm Russell, this is my good friend Gail

0:00:46 > 0:00:49- and we're both from Nottingham. - And finally, couple number four.

0:00:49 > 0:00:51Hello, my name is Paul, this is my friend Niall,

0:00:51 > 0:00:53and we're from Kilmarnock.

0:00:53 > 0:00:55And these are today's contestants.

0:00:55 > 0:00:57APPLAUSE

0:00:57 > 0:00:59Thanks very much, all of you,

0:00:59 > 0:01:01we'll get to know more about you as the show goes along.

0:01:01 > 0:01:04So, that just leaves one more person to introduce -

0:01:04 > 0:01:07a man whose knowledge and charm know many limits.

0:01:07 > 0:01:11- It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.- Hiya. Hi, everybody.

0:01:14 > 0:01:16- Afternoon to you.- And to you.

0:01:16 > 0:01:18We've got one returning pair today

0:01:18 > 0:01:21but we don't have anybody on the show who's got a correct answer yet

0:01:21 > 0:01:24because Russell and Gail, they're in the 200 Club, weren't you?

0:01:24 > 0:01:28- And nice to see that Niall is wearing a tie.- I know, I saw that.

0:01:28 > 0:01:30- We don't have many ties on the show, do we?- Yeah, I like that.

0:01:30 > 0:01:33Also, Paul has a little handkerchief there, a pockerchief.

0:01:33 > 0:01:37A pockerchief, I called it. I think I might have made that up.

0:01:37 > 0:01:38Do you think if we wore ties,

0:01:38 > 0:01:42people might be more minded to wear ties themselves?

0:01:42 > 0:01:44Do you think we set a bad example?

0:01:44 > 0:01:46I was trying to set a good example for you two guys.

0:01:46 > 0:01:49Well, you've certainly made us think.

0:01:49 > 0:01:51I'm not against a tie.

0:01:51 > 0:01:54I'm not against a tie per se, but for this show,

0:01:54 > 0:01:56it's quite nice not wearing a tie.

0:01:56 > 0:01:58Well, you have to wear a different tie all the time

0:01:58 > 0:02:00and it'd be big pressure, wouldn't it?

0:02:00 > 0:02:02And I'd have to start wearing novelty ties.

0:02:04 > 0:02:06- Anyway, well, listen... - LAUGHTER

0:02:06 > 0:02:08- ..I'll see you in a minute. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:02:08 > 0:02:10- Let's do a quiz show, mate. - Yeah, let's do it.

0:02:10 > 0:02:12Now, all our questions on Pointless have been put

0:02:12 > 0:02:13to 100 people before the show.

0:02:13 > 0:02:16Today's contestants are looking for a pointless answer,

0:02:16 > 0:02:18that's an answer that none of our 100 people gave.

0:02:18 > 0:02:21Find one of those and we will add £250 to the jackpot.

0:02:21 > 0:02:24Now, Dan and Nina didn't win the jackpot last time

0:02:24 > 0:02:29so we add another £1,000 to today's jackpot. so it starts off at...

0:02:29 > 0:02:32APPLAUSE

0:02:32 > 0:02:35Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.

0:02:38 > 0:02:41Now, the pair with the highest score at the end of the round will be

0:02:41 > 0:02:45eliminated and remember there is to be no conferring during the round.

0:02:45 > 0:02:47Our first category today is...

0:02:50 > 0:02:51CONTESTANT CHUCKLES

0:02:51 > 0:02:54- Emma laughing.- Sorry.

0:02:54 > 0:02:56Why are you laughing, Emma?

0:02:56 > 0:02:58- You'll find out in a minute. - OK, fair enough.

0:02:58 > 0:03:01Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first

0:03:01 > 0:03:02and who's going to go second?

0:03:02 > 0:03:05And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:03:08 > 0:03:10OK, let's find out what the question is.

0:03:10 > 0:03:15We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...

0:03:19 > 0:03:23Team GB gold medallists in athletics, Richard.

0:03:23 > 0:03:26Yeah, simply looking for the name of any male athlete who's won

0:03:26 > 0:03:28a gold medal in a track or field event all the way

0:03:28 > 0:03:32through from 1896 up to and including the 2012 Olympics, please.

0:03:32 > 0:03:35So, any male athlete who's won a track or field gold

0:03:35 > 0:03:38from 1896 all the way through to 2012 for Team GB

0:03:38 > 0:03:42or Team GB used to be called various other things, but...

0:03:42 > 0:03:45whatever the antecedent of Team GB was as well.

0:03:45 > 0:03:46Thank you very much, Richard.

0:03:46 > 0:03:48Now, Andrew and Tony, you all drew lots before the show

0:03:48 > 0:03:52and today, you are going to go first. Tony, welcome to the show.

0:03:52 > 0:03:55- Thank you.- Great to have you here from Wiltshire.- Yes.

0:03:55 > 0:03:58What do you do with yourself down in Wiltshire, Tony?

0:03:58 > 0:04:01I am retired from the family business.

0:04:01 > 0:04:07I've got two properties to renovate which takes 110% of my time.

0:04:07 > 0:04:09And do you enjoy that?

0:04:09 > 0:04:10It's hard, yeah.

0:04:10 > 0:04:13When it's finished, you look back on it and think, "That was fun."

0:04:13 > 0:04:16In the UK, I'm a project manager,

0:04:16 > 0:04:18we've got a little house in France

0:04:18 > 0:04:22but the French artisans have discovered

0:04:22 > 0:04:26- and perfected manana, so it's a case of do it yourself.- Right, OK.

0:04:26 > 0:04:27So, how good is your French?

0:04:27 > 0:04:30I can parley reasonably well when I want something

0:04:30 > 0:04:32but as far as being sociable, no.

0:04:32 > 0:04:35Maybe there's your problem with your manana work ethic.

0:04:35 > 0:04:39Anyway, Tony, how about male gold medallists in athletics?

0:04:40 > 0:04:44I'm going to play very cautious, Sebastian Coe.

0:04:44 > 0:04:47Sebastian Coe, says Tony. Let's see if that's right and if so,

0:04:47 > 0:04:49how many of our 100 people said Sebastian Coe.

0:04:51 > 0:04:53It's right.

0:04:56 > 0:04:57- 45.- Happy with that.

0:04:59 > 0:05:03- Cautious but correct, which is the main thing.- That is cautious, yeah.

0:05:03 > 0:05:08- He won two golds, four medals in all, Seb Coe.- Thanks very much indeed.

0:05:08 > 0:05:12Now then, Simon, welcome to the show. What do you do, Simon?

0:05:12 > 0:05:14I work in a school, I don't teach,

0:05:14 > 0:05:17I'm actually an IT development manager which means that

0:05:17 > 0:05:20I'm responsible for all the IT equipment within a school.

0:05:20 > 0:05:22And what do you do when you're not doing that, Simon?

0:05:22 > 0:05:25Great interest in music, great collection of music,

0:05:25 > 0:05:27we like getting to see as many live bands as we can.

0:05:27 > 0:05:30Unfortunately, not many really make it to York

0:05:30 > 0:05:34so Leeds is the nearest town where we can see a decent band.

0:05:34 > 0:05:36Give me your idea of a decent band, Simon.

0:05:36 > 0:05:39At the moment, quite heavily into a Scottish band called Chvrches

0:05:39 > 0:05:42but instead of a U, it's a V in the middle so it's C-H-V.

0:05:42 > 0:05:43Chvrches, yeah.

0:05:43 > 0:05:46Imagine Dragons, I really enjoyed this year, Jake Bugg,

0:05:46 > 0:05:47people like that.

0:05:47 > 0:05:50OK, so we're looking at Olympic gold medallists in athletics,

0:05:50 > 0:05:52male gold medallists.

0:05:52 > 0:05:55Well, I did watch the last Olympics quite avidly

0:05:55 > 0:05:58and unfortunately all of the ones that come to mind,

0:05:58 > 0:06:03I'm having doubts now about whether in fact they did win or first names.

0:06:03 > 0:06:05You think you might have dreamt it?

0:06:05 > 0:06:07Quite possibly so I'm going to play it reasonably safe

0:06:07 > 0:06:09and go for Daley Thompson.

0:06:09 > 0:06:11Daley Thompson, oh, you're all going quite safe.

0:06:11 > 0:06:14Daley Thompson, says Simon. Let's see if that's right,

0:06:14 > 0:06:16let's see how many of our 100 people said Daley Thompson.

0:06:17 > 0:06:22It's right. Well, 45 our only score so far. Daley Thompson beats that.

0:06:22 > 0:06:2336.

0:06:27 > 0:06:31Yeah, won golds in Moscow and Los Angeles in the decathlon.

0:06:31 > 0:06:36Thank you, Richard. Now then, Gail, welcome back. Remind us what you do.

0:06:36 > 0:06:40Well, I'm retired now but I was a lecturer in nursing.

0:06:40 > 0:06:43That's right, which is where you and Russell came across each other

0:06:43 > 0:06:45and decided to come on Pointless, presumably.

0:06:45 > 0:06:48And remind us what you do with your retirement.

0:06:48 > 0:06:51Well, I volunteer with the Citizens Advice Bureau

0:06:51 > 0:06:56and then I spend the rest of the time enjoying myself in the gym,

0:06:56 > 0:07:00going to the cinema, reading, a whole range of things.

0:07:00 > 0:07:01Now, Citizens Advice,

0:07:01 > 0:07:03do you get a sort of a course in that before you...?

0:07:03 > 0:07:07Yes, yes, it's a fantastically detailed course, really.

0:07:07 > 0:07:12So, you have a pretty good grounding in all sorts of areas of civil life?

0:07:12 > 0:07:15I've not been doing it that long if you're going to ask me

0:07:15 > 0:07:17- something difficult... - I'll speak to you afterwards,

0:07:17 > 0:07:21I've got a couple of issues with our neighbour, but it's fine, it's fine.

0:07:22 > 0:07:28- Now, Gail, the Olympics. Is this good for you?- Yes-ish.

0:07:28 > 0:07:33Team GB male gold medallists in athletics.

0:07:33 > 0:07:35Quite a lot of elements to this.

0:07:35 > 0:07:38- I think I am going to take a risk. - Good, thank you.

0:07:38 > 0:07:43- I'm going to say Don Thompson. - Don Thompson.- Yes.

0:07:43 > 0:07:45How do we feel about that, Russell?

0:07:45 > 0:07:48Well, it's one of the things Gail said on the train on the way down -

0:07:48 > 0:07:51- "If it's Olympics, I'm good." - Excellent.

0:07:51 > 0:07:53OK, Don Thompson. Let's see if that's right

0:07:53 > 0:07:56and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.

0:07:58 > 0:08:01It's right. Very well done, Gail.

0:08:03 > 0:08:04I have a good feeling about this.

0:08:04 > 0:08:07Down it goes, very well done indeed!

0:08:07 > 0:08:09Very well done, that's a pointless answer.

0:08:09 > 0:08:11CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:08:11 > 0:08:15So, it adds £250 to today's jackpot, taking the total up to £2,250

0:08:15 > 0:08:16but much more important than that,

0:08:16 > 0:08:21welcome to Correct Answer-ville, that scores you absolutely nothing.

0:08:21 > 0:08:23That's a superb way to play, well done.

0:08:23 > 0:08:25Yeah, well played, Gail. That's very gutsy, isn't it, to come

0:08:25 > 0:08:28back from getting 200 in the last show and taking a risk like that.

0:08:28 > 0:08:30Do you remember what he won the gold for, Gail?

0:08:30 > 0:08:34I think it was the walk in Rome in 1960.

0:08:34 > 0:08:37That's exactly right, the 50k walk in 1960.

0:08:37 > 0:08:41- It was the only gold medal we won in Rome. Nice long walk.- Wow, yeah.

0:08:41 > 0:08:44Now then, Paul, welcome to the show. What do you do?

0:08:44 > 0:08:46I work for the local council,

0:08:46 > 0:08:48I work for the leisure and recreation department.

0:08:48 > 0:08:50- That's the fun department, isn't it?- Yes, it is.

0:08:50 > 0:08:53That's where they all want to be, leisure and recreation,

0:08:53 > 0:08:54and that's in Kilmarnock, is it?

0:08:54 > 0:08:56Yeah, well, Kilmarnock and the surrounding area.

0:08:56 > 0:08:58And what are your hobbies when you're not doing that?

0:08:58 > 0:09:03I like football, I'm a huge music fan so that's my two main ones.

0:09:03 > 0:09:05OK, now then, Paul, how about Olympics?

0:09:05 > 0:09:08I thought of a couple of ones that are a wee bit more obvious so

0:09:08 > 0:09:12I'm going to take a wee risk as well and I'm going to go for Alan Wells.

0:09:12 > 0:09:14Alan Wells.

0:09:14 > 0:09:15OK, let's see if that's right,

0:09:15 > 0:09:18let's see how many of our 100 people said Alan Wells.

0:09:20 > 0:09:25Very well done indeed. Well, 45 our high score, pointless our low.

0:09:26 > 0:09:2815, very well done indeed, Paul.

0:09:33 > 0:09:35Yeah, not a risk at all.

0:09:35 > 0:09:38Alan Wells, one of the great Scottish gold medal winners,

0:09:38 > 0:09:39won the 100m in Moscow.

0:09:39 > 0:09:43Very good, thanks so much, Richard. Well, we're halfway through the round,

0:09:43 > 0:09:44let's take a look at those scores.

0:09:44 > 0:09:47Gail, well done, that lovely pointless answer puts

0:09:47 > 0:09:49you at the top of the grid at this point.

0:09:49 > 0:09:53Then up to 15, where we find Paul and Niall, up to 36 where we find

0:09:53 > 0:09:56Simon and Emma, and then up to 45, Tony and Andrew.

0:09:56 > 0:10:00Now, I have a feeling, Andrew, your dad was hoping that you

0:10:00 > 0:10:04would have a really good low-scoring answer. Is his faith well placed?

0:10:04 > 0:10:06Hmm, not really.

0:10:06 > 0:10:09- I'm nervous about this one. - OK, well, very best of luck.

0:10:09 > 0:10:11We're going to come back down the line now,

0:10:11 > 0:10:13can the second players please step up to the podium?

0:10:15 > 0:10:19Niall. Niall, welcome to the show, great to have you here.

0:10:19 > 0:10:20What do you do, Niall?

0:10:20 > 0:10:23I'm a support worker with guys with disabilities,

0:10:23 > 0:10:26I socially support them and integrate them into the community.

0:10:26 > 0:10:28- What did you do before that? - I was in the Scots Guards.

0:10:28 > 0:10:31Do you have any proud memories of your time in the Scots Guards?

0:10:31 > 0:10:32Probably the proudest memory was

0:10:32 > 0:10:35when I was right flank of the 1st Battalion, The Scots Guards,

0:10:35 > 0:10:38we did the Trooping the Colour for the Queen's birthday parade

0:10:38 > 0:10:43but then that coincided with Barack Obama's state visit to the UK

0:10:43 > 0:10:47so we were his guards of honour and we got inspected by Barack Obama

0:10:47 > 0:10:50- so it's a pretty big name-drop, isn't it?- Pretty good.

0:10:50 > 0:10:53Well, now then, Niall, the high-scorers are Andrew

0:10:53 > 0:10:57and Tony on 45. That means if you can score 29 or less...

0:10:57 > 0:11:00I don't think that's going to be happening though, somehow, because

0:11:00 > 0:11:03I was thinking about the question and my mind started to wander and

0:11:03 > 0:11:07then I was thinking female names, but, no, it's male names we need.

0:11:07 > 0:11:12- Good.- So I'm going to have to go for a really obvious one, Mo Farah.

0:11:12 > 0:11:15Mo Farah says Niall... Ooh, listen to that.

0:11:16 > 0:11:20I think that was half people admiring Mo Farah,

0:11:20 > 0:11:23and half people a little bit disappointed by the answer, I think.

0:11:23 > 0:11:25- I'm sorry.- No, it's fine.

0:11:25 > 0:11:28There's your red line, Niall, Mo Farah is what you've said.

0:11:28 > 0:11:31If you can get below that red line, you are definitely in the next round.

0:11:31 > 0:11:33Let's see how many people said Mo Farah.

0:11:37 > 0:11:39Well, it's not that bad, actually, Niall.

0:11:39 > 0:11:4144, not bad at all.

0:11:43 > 0:11:4659 your total, I reckon that might, combined with Paul's score,

0:11:46 > 0:11:48be enough to see you through.

0:11:48 > 0:11:52Yeah, won the 5,000m and 10,000m gold at the 2012 Games, of course.

0:11:52 > 0:11:54First British man to win two athletics golds in the same

0:11:54 > 0:11:56Olympics since 1920.

0:11:56 > 0:12:01- Thanks, Richard. Now then, Russell, how well did Gail do?- Fantastic.

0:12:01 > 0:12:04Well, she's done you a huge favour there.

0:12:04 > 0:12:06Now, remind us, you're still lecturing, aren't you?

0:12:06 > 0:12:09Yes, I'm still lecturing so I teach nursing, mainly resuscitation

0:12:09 > 0:12:14skills so that's my particular topic that I teach.

0:12:14 > 0:12:16Resuscitation right from sort of the basic CPR...

0:12:16 > 0:12:21- Yes, basic through to what we do in hospitals.- Right up to the...?

0:12:22 > 0:12:26Yeah, well, we don't do that any more, they do it on Casualty and ER.

0:12:26 > 0:12:28We don't do it any more? Oh, that's disappointing.

0:12:28 > 0:12:30I know it is, it's great television but in real life,

0:12:30 > 0:12:35it's just a couple of sticky pads and push a button and...

0:12:35 > 0:12:39- So, you don't have to do that? - We don't do any of that any more.

0:12:39 > 0:12:40Oh, where's the drama gone?

0:12:40 > 0:12:42- LAUGHTER - I know, it's a shame.

0:12:42 > 0:12:44It's not very exciting just going like that but...

0:12:44 > 0:12:46It's quite exciting if you're brought back to life,

0:12:46 > 0:12:48I imagine, but still.

0:12:48 > 0:12:49Now, Russell, there you are,

0:12:49 > 0:12:53you're on nothing courtesy of Gail's excellent answer earlier.

0:12:53 > 0:12:57Now, Niall and Paul are our current high-scorers on 59

0:12:57 > 0:13:01so 58 or less keeps you comfortably in the game.

0:13:01 > 0:13:04How risky or how safe do you think you're going to have to play this?

0:13:04 > 0:13:06Well, I was going to go risky but Gail,

0:13:06 > 0:13:09having given us a brilliant start, I don't want to do that just in case.

0:13:09 > 0:13:12I had a couple of names from the past that may have been

0:13:12 > 0:13:14silver medallists, we used to get very excited

0:13:14 > 0:13:16when we even won a silver medal in those days,

0:13:16 > 0:13:19so I think I'll go more recent with one I'm pretty sure of,

0:13:19 > 0:13:22one of the triathletes, so I'll say Jonathan Brownlee.

0:13:22 > 0:13:27Jonathan Brownlee, says Russell. There is your red line.

0:13:27 > 0:13:29If you get below that, you're definitely in the next round.

0:13:29 > 0:13:32Let's see how many of our 100 people said Jonathan Brownlee.

0:13:34 > 0:13:35Ooh, no, Russell!

0:13:37 > 0:13:39(Sorry, Gail.)

0:13:39 > 0:13:42Bad luck. I'm sorry, Russell.

0:13:42 > 0:13:45There you are, that has scored you the maximum of 100 points but

0:13:45 > 0:13:48courtesy of Gail's answer earlier, you may still be in the game.

0:13:48 > 0:13:50Sorry, Russell, that's tough luck.

0:13:50 > 0:13:52It's not a track and field event, the triathlon.

0:13:52 > 0:13:54It's an entirely different event, I'm afraid,

0:13:54 > 0:13:56it's not part of track and field.

0:13:56 > 0:13:57But you got the right name.

0:14:00 > 0:14:04Now, Emma, welcome. What do you do, Emma?

0:14:04 > 0:14:05I'm not working at the moment

0:14:05 > 0:14:09because my dream job is quite difficult to get.

0:14:09 > 0:14:11Oh, wow. Is it present?

0:14:11 > 0:14:15Well, I'd like to be a paranormal investigator

0:14:15 > 0:14:18- and they don't advertise for that. - Oh, I love Ghostbusters as well.

0:14:18 > 0:14:21- Yes, I want the costume. - You want the costume?- Yes.

0:14:21 > 0:14:25- What sort of kit would you ideally have?- Full kit.

0:14:25 > 0:14:27Ghostcatcher, everything.

0:14:27 > 0:14:30Goggles, backpack, "Don't cross the streams,"

0:14:30 > 0:14:33but they don't advertise that in my local paper often.

0:14:33 > 0:14:35Well, they don't advertise through that medium.

0:14:35 > 0:14:37LAUGHTER

0:14:37 > 0:14:40- They're always after jobs, Emma. - I'm not tuned in.

0:14:40 > 0:14:42Are you actively looking for work in this field?

0:14:42 > 0:14:45- Good luck with that down the Jobcentre.- Yeah, I know.

0:14:45 > 0:14:48Emma, listen, you're on 36, not a bad score

0:14:48 > 0:14:51now in light of Russell and Gail's high score of 100.

0:14:51 > 0:14:53However, it requires a correct answer from you

0:14:53 > 0:14:56- and a score of 63 or less. - SHE CHUCKLES

0:14:56 > 0:14:59Ah, yes, there's that laugh again.

0:14:59 > 0:15:01That is going to haunt me.

0:15:01 > 0:15:03It's as if you've psychically invaded my brain

0:15:03 > 0:15:06and seen the worst possible subject you could've picked.

0:15:06 > 0:15:09What do you mean "as if"? I did.

0:15:09 > 0:15:12See, I'm no good at this, I didn't know you'd done that.

0:15:12 > 0:15:14Jonathan Edwards, don't even know if he got a gold.

0:15:14 > 0:15:18Jonathan Edwards, says Emma. There is your red line.

0:15:18 > 0:15:20Get below that, you're in Round Two.

0:15:20 > 0:15:23How many of our 100 people said Jonathan Edwards, if it's right?

0:15:25 > 0:15:27It is right.

0:15:27 > 0:15:30You are in Round Two, very well done.

0:15:32 > 0:15:3312.

0:15:34 > 0:15:3748 is your total, Emma, very well done.

0:15:39 > 0:15:42Well played, Emma, he won triple jump gold in 2000.

0:15:42 > 0:15:45Won the silver in 1996 as well.

0:15:45 > 0:15:47Thanks very much. Now then, Andrew.

0:15:47 > 0:15:51You've been given a reprieve there, Andrew. Welcome to the show.

0:15:51 > 0:15:53What do you do, Andrew?

0:15:53 > 0:15:56I'm one of the brothers who works for the family business.

0:15:56 > 0:15:58Yes, your dad said the family business.

0:15:58 > 0:15:59So, Tony set up the business.

0:15:59 > 0:16:02I'm the last one to join out of the three of us.

0:16:02 > 0:16:04Right, so three brothers. Do you all get on quite well?

0:16:04 > 0:16:06Do you all see eye-to-eye?

0:16:07 > 0:16:10- Hmm... - LAUGHTER

0:16:10 > 0:16:12What kind of business is it?

0:16:12 > 0:16:16We focus around environmental engineering

0:16:16 > 0:16:21so we create solutions for dust and fume problems in workplaces.

0:16:21 > 0:16:23- You work in air ducts?- Essentially.

0:16:23 > 0:16:25That must be claustrophobic. LAUGHTER

0:16:25 > 0:16:28Well, I was going to say, presumably, you have to make them

0:16:28 > 0:16:31big enough for secret agents to get through.

0:16:31 > 0:16:34- Yeah, we don't have a lot of call for that in the UK.- No.

0:16:34 > 0:16:40Now, Andrew, we want any Olympic athletics champion from Team GB.

0:16:40 > 0:16:42You have to score 54 or less.

0:16:43 > 0:16:47- Erm, Greg Rutherford. - Greg Rutherford, says Andrew.

0:16:47 > 0:16:48OK, here's your red line.

0:16:48 > 0:16:51If Greg Rutherford can get you below that red line,

0:16:51 > 0:16:52you are through to the next round.

0:16:52 > 0:16:54Let's see how many people said Greg Rutherford.

0:16:56 > 0:16:57It's right.

0:16:59 > 0:17:01You're in Round Two, very well done.

0:17:03 > 0:17:0514.

0:17:05 > 0:17:0914 takes your total up to 59.

0:17:09 > 0:17:11Very well played, that's all you had to do.

0:17:11 > 0:17:13Yeah, he won the long jump on Super Saturday in 2012

0:17:13 > 0:17:15when Mo Farah won his medals.

0:17:15 > 0:17:17Let's go through some of the pointless answers.

0:17:17 > 0:17:19Well done if you got some of these,

0:17:19 > 0:17:21there's a few relay runners people might have got.

0:17:21 > 0:17:24Arnold Jackson won the 1500m in 1912, that would have been a tough one.

0:17:24 > 0:17:27Arthur Russell won the two miles in 1908.

0:17:27 > 0:17:31Chris Brasher, some people might have got, he won the 3,000m steeplechase,

0:17:31 > 0:17:34he was a middle-distance runner in all sorts of different disciplines.

0:17:34 > 0:17:38Now, Jason Gardener was part of the 4x100m gold-winning team from 2004.

0:17:38 > 0:17:40You'll see a couple more of those names in a minute.

0:17:40 > 0:17:43John Ainsworth-Davis, 4x400m gold medal.

0:17:43 > 0:17:46Ken Matthews, 20k walk.

0:17:46 > 0:17:48There's Mark Lewis-Francis

0:17:48 > 0:17:50and Marlon Devonish who also got golds in the 4x100m,

0:17:50 > 0:17:54Darren Campbell, who was the other member of that quartet, got one point.

0:17:54 > 0:17:58Tommy Hampson, who was a 800m runner in 1932, he was a pointless answer.

0:17:58 > 0:18:00I'll take you through some of the other scores.

0:18:00 > 0:18:02There's a couple of Chariots Of Fire answers here.

0:18:02 > 0:18:06One point for Eric Liddell and two points for Harold Abrahams.

0:18:06 > 0:18:08Lynn Davies, the Welsh long jumper, would have scored you four.

0:18:08 > 0:18:10David Hemery would have scored you four.

0:18:10 > 0:18:14Linford Christie, 24, and Steve Ovett, 27.

0:18:14 > 0:18:18Cos the top three were Coe, Mo Farah and Daley Thompson.

0:18:18 > 0:18:21Thanks very much indeed, Richard. So, at the end of our first round,

0:18:21 > 0:18:23the pair we have to say goodbye to, I'm so sorry.

0:18:23 > 0:18:25Oh, listen, Russell and Gail, most unfortunate,

0:18:25 > 0:18:27but an excellent pair, clearly.

0:18:27 > 0:18:29Thanks so much for playing, I'm sorry you're leaving so soon.

0:18:29 > 0:18:32Russell and Gail, brilliant contestants.

0:18:32 > 0:18:33APPLAUSE

0:18:33 > 0:18:37But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.

0:18:41 > 0:18:42And so three pairs remain.

0:18:42 > 0:18:45At the end of this round, obviously, we will have to say goodbye

0:18:45 > 0:18:47to another pair in time for our head-to-head round.

0:18:47 > 0:18:49Well, hats off, Emma and Simon.

0:18:49 > 0:18:53Very well done, lovely low scoring, our lowest-scoring remaining pair.

0:18:53 > 0:18:54And, Emma,

0:18:54 > 0:18:57the lowest score given apart from the pointless that we had from Gail.

0:18:57 > 0:18:58I don't know what happened.

0:18:58 > 0:19:02I don't know, I think someone must be looking out for you, Emma.

0:19:02 > 0:19:05But the other two pairs were tied and all your scores were close

0:19:05 > 0:19:07so, yes, this is going to be a hard-fought round, I think.

0:19:07 > 0:19:12Best of luck to all three pairs. Our category for Round Two is...

0:19:14 > 0:19:15Simply famous people.

0:19:15 > 0:19:17Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,

0:19:17 > 0:19:18who's going to go second?

0:19:18 > 0:19:21And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:19:24 > 0:19:28OK, and the question concerns...

0:19:30 > 0:19:32Famous Sams. Richard.

0:19:32 > 0:19:35We're going to show you six clues on each pass to famous people

0:19:35 > 0:19:36called Sam, Sammy, Samantha, Samuel.

0:19:36 > 0:19:39You just need to tell us the most obscure answer, please.

0:19:39 > 0:19:42There's going to be 12 in all to have a go at home, so very best of luck.

0:19:42 > 0:19:44OK, so remember, we're looking for the famous people called Sam

0:19:44 > 0:19:48described by each of these clues and here is our first board of six.

0:19:48 > 0:19:52ALEXANDER READS CLUES

0:20:12 > 0:20:14I'll read those all one last time.

0:20:14 > 0:20:16ALEXANDER REPEATS CLUES

0:20:34 > 0:20:35There we are.

0:20:35 > 0:20:39Now then, Tony. A whole board of Sams there.

0:20:41 > 0:20:42Which one do you fancy?

0:20:42 > 0:20:43None of them.

0:20:46 > 0:20:50Spider-Man movies, Sam Menzies?

0:20:50 > 0:20:52Sam Menzies, says Tony.

0:20:52 > 0:20:56Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.

0:20:59 > 0:21:01Bad luck, I'm sorry, Tony.

0:21:01 > 0:21:05An incorrect answer there, scoring you the maximum of 100 points.

0:21:05 > 0:21:07Sorry, Tony, tough luck, tough board.

0:21:07 > 0:21:09I'll give you the correct answer at the end of the pass.

0:21:09 > 0:21:12Thanks very much. Now then, Simon.

0:21:12 > 0:21:14I'm going to go for the same one, directed three Spider-Man

0:21:14 > 0:21:19- movies and the Evil Dead movies - Sam Raimi.- Sam Raimi, says Simon.

0:21:19 > 0:21:20Let's see if that's right,

0:21:20 > 0:21:23and if it is, let's see how many people said Sam Raimi.

0:21:25 > 0:21:27It's right, very well done, Simon.

0:21:31 > 0:21:3317.

0:21:35 > 0:21:37Good work, Simon.

0:21:38 > 0:21:40Well played, yeah, that's a terrific answer,

0:21:40 > 0:21:44also directed Oz The Great And Powerful in 2013.

0:21:44 > 0:21:46Thank you. Now then, Niall.

0:21:46 > 0:21:48You're the last person to have this board.

0:21:48 > 0:21:49Do you fancy talking us through it?

0:21:49 > 0:21:53I wish I could talk you through one, to be honest.

0:21:53 > 0:21:55I've really not got a clue.

0:21:55 > 0:21:58Page 3 model, is that maybe the one I would know? Sam...

0:22:00 > 0:22:02..Hunter. Sam Hunter.

0:22:03 > 0:22:05- Good name. - LAUGHTER

0:22:05 > 0:22:08Sam Hunter, let's see if that's right.

0:22:08 > 0:22:09Let's see if it's right, simply.

0:22:12 > 0:22:14I'm sorry.

0:22:14 > 0:22:18An incorrect answer there, scoring you the maximum of 100 points.

0:22:18 > 0:22:20Sorry, Niall. Good news for Tony, though.

0:22:20 > 0:22:24It's not Sam Hunter, it's actually the exact opposite of Sam Hunter.

0:22:24 > 0:22:25Sam Fox.

0:22:26 > 0:22:28It would've scored you 50 points.

0:22:30 > 0:22:34- Now, any of those you want to have a go at?- Eh, Samantha Bond.

0:22:34 > 0:22:37Samantha Bond played Miss Moneypenny, yep.

0:22:37 > 0:22:40- She would've scored you 20. - Samantha Murray, of course.

0:22:40 > 0:22:43- The pentathlete.- Samantha Murray was the modern pentathlon.

0:22:43 > 0:22:45She came on with Pete Reed, didn't she?

0:22:45 > 0:22:48She would've scored you 2 points.

0:22:48 > 0:22:51- The top one is Samantha Stosur.- Yeah.

0:22:51 > 0:22:54- Don't say "yeah." - I didn't know that one.

0:22:54 > 0:22:55Yes, Sam Stosur.

0:22:55 > 0:23:00And the astronaut in the film Moon, the wonderful Sam Rockwell.

0:23:00 > 0:23:02And he would've scored you 10 points.

0:23:03 > 0:23:06Thank you very much indeed. Well, we're halfway through the round,

0:23:06 > 0:23:08let's take a look at those scores. 17, Simon, once again,

0:23:08 > 0:23:12Emma and Simon seeming to have dominance over this game.

0:23:12 > 0:23:15Then we go up to 100, where we find Niall and Paul and Tony

0:23:15 > 0:23:19and Andrew, so, Paul and Andrew, it's going to be between you.

0:23:19 > 0:23:20We're going to come back down the line now,

0:23:20 > 0:23:23can the second players please step up to the podium?

0:23:23 > 0:23:26OK, let's put six more clues on the board, six more Sams,

0:23:26 > 0:23:28and here they come.

0:23:28 > 0:23:30We've got...

0:23:30 > 0:23:32ALEXANDER READS CLUES

0:23:49 > 0:23:51I'll read those all one last time.

0:23:51 > 0:23:53ALEXANDER REPEATS CLUES

0:24:11 > 0:24:15There we are, six Sams. Paul, good luck.

0:24:15 > 0:24:16How's this board?

0:24:16 > 0:24:19I know two or three of them,

0:24:19 > 0:24:21two of them could make me sound quite masculine,

0:24:21 > 0:24:23as if I'm into my sport, and

0:24:23 > 0:24:25I think I know the Emmerdale one.

0:24:25 > 0:24:27LAUGHTER

0:24:27 > 0:24:30And I think that's possibly a wee bit more obscure

0:24:30 > 0:24:31and it feels a wee bit more risky

0:24:31 > 0:24:33so I'm going to try that, Emmerdale,

0:24:33 > 0:24:36and I'm going to go for Sammy Winward.

0:24:36 > 0:24:38Sammy Winward.

0:24:38 > 0:24:40OK, no red line for you as you're joint high-scorers,

0:24:40 > 0:24:44let's see if Sammy Winward can get you down that column.

0:24:45 > 0:24:46It's right.

0:24:50 > 0:24:54It's a great answer, Paul, very well done. 5.

0:24:54 > 0:24:59Wow, you set the bar low for Andrew, or high. 105 anyhow is your total.

0:25:00 > 0:25:02Well played, great tactics.

0:25:02 > 0:25:03You had to put pressure on Andrew

0:25:03 > 0:25:05and you've done that - well played.

0:25:05 > 0:25:06Thanks very much.

0:25:06 > 0:25:09And also assured us of your masculinity.

0:25:09 > 0:25:11Well...

0:25:13 > 0:25:16- Now then, Emma.- Yes. - Emma, how's this board?

0:25:16 > 0:25:20It's OK, because I'm old enough to have bought the top single, there.

0:25:20 > 0:25:23- Brilliant. - So I'm quite happy that I'm old.

0:25:23 > 0:25:28I'm going to play the hit single with Stop - Sam Brown.

0:25:28 > 0:25:31Sam Brown, says Emma.

0:25:31 > 0:25:35Here is your red line - 87 or less will see you through.

0:25:35 > 0:25:37Let's see if Sam Brown gets you below that red line.

0:25:39 > 0:25:40It's right.

0:25:40 > 0:25:42And you're through - well done.

0:25:46 > 0:25:4713.

0:25:49 > 0:25:51Takes your total up to 30.

0:25:53 > 0:25:55Well played, Emma. Good scoring on the middle podium.

0:25:55 > 0:25:57Number four hit from 1989.

0:25:57 > 0:25:59Thank you, Richard.

0:25:59 > 0:26:02- Now, Andrew...good luck.- Thank you.

0:26:02 > 0:26:064 or less, that's all you have to score, 4 or less.

0:26:06 > 0:26:08Want to talk us through that board?

0:26:10 > 0:26:13Um, I can't do the second one down,

0:26:13 > 0:26:15regrettably.

0:26:15 > 0:26:19Captained Europe to Ryder Cup victory in 2002,

0:26:19 > 0:26:21I'm...pretty sure it's Sam Torrance.

0:26:21 > 0:26:24Became manager of West Ham United in 2011,

0:26:24 > 0:26:26Sam Allardyce.

0:26:26 > 0:26:29And actor who stars in Avatar and Clash Of The Titans,

0:26:29 > 0:26:30Sam Worthington.

0:26:31 > 0:26:34But I think they're all going to be high.

0:26:34 > 0:26:37I'll go with Sam Torrance, captained Europe to the Ryder Cup.

0:26:37 > 0:26:40Sam Torrance. OK. There is your red line.

0:26:40 > 0:26:43- ANDREW LAUGHS - Yeah...

0:26:44 > 0:26:46Still, you might do it. Let's see. Sam Torrance - is it right?

0:26:46 > 0:26:48How many said it, if it is?

0:26:50 > 0:26:51It is right.

0:26:56 > 0:26:57Still going...

0:26:57 > 0:26:58Ooh! 18.

0:26:58 > 0:26:5918.

0:27:01 > 0:27:04Good effort, Andrew. 118, your total.

0:27:04 > 0:27:06You took us through the board really nicely,

0:27:06 > 0:27:07but Paul had done his job, I think.

0:27:07 > 0:27:10It's only that second down that would have won it for you.

0:27:10 > 0:27:14You knew Sam Allardyce, but he would have scored you too many points.

0:27:14 > 0:27:17He would have scored you 36 points.

0:27:17 > 0:27:20Sam Worthington, you're right - would have been a better answer,

0:27:20 > 0:27:23but wouldn't have done what it needed, would've scored you 11.

0:27:23 > 0:27:26But the second one down, the author - know that one?

0:27:26 > 0:27:29- Sam Stone, Sam...?- Nearly.

0:27:29 > 0:27:32- Samantha Brick.- Exactly!

0:27:32 > 0:27:34- That would have scored you 3 points. - There we go.

0:27:36 > 0:27:37Thanks, Richard.

0:27:37 > 0:27:41At the end of our second round, the pair heading home, with 118,

0:27:41 > 0:27:43it's Andrew and Tony.

0:27:43 > 0:27:48Oh - I'm sorry. I'm sorry. You nearly did it.

0:27:48 > 0:27:50Listen, it bodes well for next time.

0:27:50 > 0:27:54You've acquitted yourselves well, but that was an unfortunate board.

0:27:54 > 0:27:57The first board was tough. Look forward to seeing you next time,

0:27:57 > 0:27:58I'm sure you'll be even better.

0:27:58 > 0:28:01- Andrew and Tony, thanks for playing. - Thank you.

0:28:02 > 0:28:05For the remaining two pairs, it's time for our head-to-head.

0:28:11 > 0:28:14Congratulations, Emma and Simon, Niall and Paul.

0:28:14 > 0:28:17A step closer to the final and a chance to play for our jackpot,

0:28:17 > 0:28:19which currently stands at...

0:28:20 > 0:28:21AUDIENCE OOHS

0:28:23 > 0:28:26Now, we have to decide who goes through to the final.

0:28:26 > 0:28:28To do that, you're going head-to-head,

0:28:28 > 0:28:31but this time, you're allowed to confer before you give your answers.

0:28:31 > 0:28:34The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.

0:28:34 > 0:28:37Well done, both pairs - Emma and Simon, particularly,

0:28:37 > 0:28:38haven't put a foot wrong.

0:28:38 > 0:28:41It's been very impressive, low scorers throughout.

0:28:41 > 0:28:45Niall and Paul, Sam Hunter was your only misstep, Niall.

0:28:45 > 0:28:48Quite an inventive one, I thought.

0:28:48 > 0:28:51And Paul, Sam Winward - brilliant.

0:28:51 > 0:28:54- Very well done.- Thank you. - Good, tactical play, there.

0:28:54 > 0:28:57Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.

0:29:03 > 0:29:06OK, here comes your first question. It concerns...

0:29:10 > 0:29:12Portraits in the National Portrait Gallery.

0:29:12 > 0:29:13We'll show you five portraits now

0:29:13 > 0:29:15that all hang in the National Portrait Gallery.

0:29:15 > 0:29:18Can you tell us who they are portraits of, please?

0:29:18 > 0:29:21Thanks very much indeed. Let's reveal our five portraits.

0:29:21 > 0:29:24Here they come. We have got...

0:29:44 > 0:29:46Five portraits there.

0:29:46 > 0:29:49Now, Emma and Simon, you've played best throughout the show so far,

0:29:49 > 0:29:50so you go first.

0:29:52 > 0:29:54(I don't know any.)

0:29:54 > 0:29:56(A is Oliver Cromwell.)

0:29:57 > 0:29:59(I think B is WC...)

0:30:00 > 0:30:04We're going to go for A in the hopes that that is Oliver Cromwell.

0:30:04 > 0:30:07Oliver Cromwell, you're going to say for A.

0:30:07 > 0:30:09Niall and Paul, do you fancy talking us through the board

0:30:09 > 0:30:11and having a punt at each of those?

0:30:11 > 0:30:15I'm sure E is Kelly Holmes.

0:30:15 > 0:30:18D, possibly, Elizabeth I.

0:30:18 > 0:30:20Is C somebody from Last Of The Summer Wine?

0:30:20 > 0:30:22Is that what it looks like?

0:30:22 > 0:30:24Like somebody from there.

0:30:24 > 0:30:29I think we're going to go for B. I'm definitely not sure, but...

0:30:29 > 0:30:34- It might be WG Grace. - WG Grace, you're going to say.

0:30:34 > 0:30:36So we have Oliver Cromwell, we have WG Grace.

0:30:36 > 0:30:38Emma and Simon said Oliver Cromwell.

0:30:38 > 0:30:40Let's see how many people said that if it's right.

0:30:42 > 0:30:43It's right.

0:30:47 > 0:30:4843.

0:30:50 > 0:30:5343 for Oliver Cromwell.

0:30:53 > 0:30:56Niall and Paul, you've said WG Grace for B.

0:30:56 > 0:30:57Let's see if that's right

0:30:57 > 0:31:00and if it is let's see how many people said WG Grace.

0:31:02 > 0:31:03It's right.

0:31:03 > 0:31:06It's got to beat 43.

0:31:06 > 0:31:07Which it does!

0:31:08 > 0:31:0926.

0:31:11 > 0:31:13Very well done.

0:31:13 > 0:31:17You've nicked it, Niall and Paul, after one question you are up 1-0.

0:31:17 > 0:31:20Two good answers there, though. The last one, that is Kelly Holmes.

0:31:20 > 0:31:24It's a portrait by Craig Wylie, he does the hyper-realistic

0:31:24 > 0:31:26or photo-realistic paintings.

0:31:26 > 0:31:28It would've scored you 41.

0:31:30 > 0:31:33D is Elizabeth I, the biggest scorer up there, though.

0:31:33 > 0:31:36It's known as the Darnley portrait. It would've scored you 66.

0:31:36 > 0:31:39And C... She's not from The Last Of The Summer Wine,

0:31:39 > 0:31:42- she's from a little bit before that. - It's Beatrix Potter.- Yeah.

0:31:42 > 0:31:45Would've scored you 5 points. Well done if you said that at home.

0:31:45 > 0:31:48- Best answer up there. - Thanks very much indeed.

0:31:48 > 0:31:49Here comes your second question.

0:31:49 > 0:31:52Emma and Simon, you have to win this one to stay in the game.

0:31:52 > 0:31:53Best of luck. It concerns...

0:31:58 > 0:31:59Richard.

0:31:59 > 0:32:02Going to show you five clues now to puppets or shows they appeared in.

0:32:02 > 0:32:04Can you give us the most obscure answer to these?

0:32:04 > 0:32:05Thank you very much indeed.

0:32:05 > 0:32:08Let's reveal our five TV puppets, and here they are.

0:32:25 > 0:32:26I'll read those all one last time.

0:32:42 > 0:32:44Niall and Paul, you get to go first this time.

0:32:46 > 0:32:48THEY WHISPER

0:32:50 > 0:32:54We're going to go for the favourite food of Badger

0:32:54 > 0:32:57from Bodger and Badger, and...

0:32:57 > 0:32:59- BADGER VOICE:- Mashed potato!

0:32:59 > 0:33:01LAUGHTER

0:33:01 > 0:33:05It's mashed potato, say Niall and Paul.

0:33:06 > 0:33:10I had to. I couldn't not do it. I couldn't resist.

0:33:10 > 0:33:12Emma and Simon.

0:33:13 > 0:33:14Will you take us through the board?

0:33:14 > 0:33:17And please do impressions where possible.

0:33:17 > 0:33:21I think the Gordon who appeared on Going Live was Gordon T Gopher.

0:33:21 > 0:33:25I don't know the tortoise, I don't know anything about Lamb Chop

0:33:25 > 0:33:26apart from I quite like them,

0:33:26 > 0:33:30and the name of the pink hippo, of course.

0:33:30 > 0:33:33So it's between Gopher and George.

0:33:35 > 0:33:38OK, m'learned colleague here says George.

0:33:38 > 0:33:40- You're going to say George for the pink hippo.- Yes.

0:33:40 > 0:33:43So we have mashed potato, we have George.

0:33:43 > 0:33:46Niall and Paul said mashed potato. Let's see if that's right

0:33:46 > 0:33:48and if it is let's see how many people said that.

0:33:49 > 0:33:50It's right.

0:33:55 > 0:33:57Look at that, down it goes. Brilliant answer. 20. Well done.

0:34:01 > 0:34:03Now, Emma and Simon have said George,

0:34:03 > 0:34:05the name of the pink hippo on Rainbow.

0:34:05 > 0:34:08Let's see if that's right and let's see how many of them said George.

0:34:09 > 0:34:10It is right.

0:34:14 > 0:34:1544.

0:34:17 > 0:34:19Which means, Niall and Paul, very well done to you.

0:34:19 > 0:34:23After only two questions, you are straight through to the final 2-0.

0:34:23 > 0:34:25Very well played, Niall and Paul.

0:34:25 > 0:34:27I feel we slightly missed out on Bodger and Badger.

0:34:27 > 0:34:29It started in 1989 and ran for ten years,

0:34:29 > 0:34:32and just so loved by a generation who, sadly, are much younger than us.

0:34:32 > 0:34:38- Hmm.- But a properly good show, was it, Bodger and Badger?- Oh, fantastic.

0:34:38 > 0:34:39Really, really. Really high-end.

0:34:39 > 0:34:45- He spent a lot of time in air ducts as well.- Did he?- He did.

0:34:45 > 0:34:47George is a better answer than Gordon the Gopher.

0:34:47 > 0:34:50Gordon the Gopher's got a big score. This is more our generation.

0:34:50 > 0:34:53Would've scored you 76 points.

0:34:53 > 0:34:57The tortoise who was friends with Bill and Ben was Slowcoach.

0:34:57 > 0:34:59it would've scored you 6.

0:34:59 > 0:35:01And the American entertainer was Shari Lewis

0:35:01 > 0:35:04and would've scored you 15.

0:35:04 > 0:35:066 points is the best answer up there.

0:35:06 > 0:35:08Thanks very much indeed, Richard.

0:35:08 > 0:35:10At the end of our head-to-head round the pair leaving us,

0:35:10 > 0:35:13I'm afraid, are Emma and Simon.

0:35:13 > 0:35:16Played so well throughout the show, really consistent low scoring.

0:35:16 > 0:35:19Then we threw categories at you that I'm afraid didn't land

0:35:19 > 0:35:20quite so well for you.

0:35:20 > 0:35:23Nothing wrong with your answers, perfectly good,

0:35:23 > 0:35:25but Niall and Paul just pipped you in each case.

0:35:25 > 0:35:27We look forward to seeing you next time.

0:35:27 > 0:35:29Emma and Simon, thanks so much for playing. Emma and Simon.

0:35:29 > 0:35:31- Thank you.- Thank you.

0:35:31 > 0:35:32APPLAUSE

0:35:32 > 0:35:35But for Niall and Paul, it's now time for our Pointless final.

0:35:39 > 0:35:40Congratulations, Niall and Paul.

0:35:40 > 0:35:42You fought off all the competition

0:35:42 > 0:35:44and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.

0:35:44 > 0:35:45So very well done.

0:35:51 > 0:35:53You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.

0:35:53 > 0:35:56At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at...

0:36:01 > 0:36:04You've done really well. Really good solid answering.

0:36:04 > 0:36:07Normally, of course, we'd get to see you again for another show,

0:36:07 > 0:36:10which obviously we won't do, which is a real shame.

0:36:10 > 0:36:12- How do you two know each other? - Through a mutual...

0:36:12 > 0:36:16His cousin is my best friend, Steven, and we...

0:36:16 > 0:36:19- Just from young guys. - Just became...- Friends.

0:36:19 > 0:36:20There's a wee age gap between us,

0:36:20 > 0:36:22so when you're younger, it seems like more.

0:36:22 > 0:36:23When I was ten he was six,

0:36:23 > 0:36:26but now we're obviously a wee bit older than that.

0:36:26 > 0:36:28Well, very best of luck. Let's see if you can win it.

0:36:28 > 0:36:30As always, you get to choose your category for this last round,

0:36:30 > 0:36:32and here are your four options. They are...

0:36:41 > 0:36:44Easily for me Musical Biopics.

0:36:44 > 0:36:45Easily. By miles.

0:36:45 > 0:36:47We'll go for Musical Biopics.

0:36:47 > 0:36:49OK, Musical Biopics it is. Richard.

0:36:49 > 0:36:51Good luck, gents, you've been brilliant so far.

0:36:51 > 0:36:52Here's your three options.

0:36:52 > 0:36:56We're looking for any tracks from the original soundtrack recording of...

0:37:07 > 0:37:10Any of the original tracks from Ray, The Doors, or Walk The Line.

0:37:10 > 0:37:13Thanks very much indeed. As always you've got up to one minute

0:37:13 > 0:37:14to come up with three answers,

0:37:14 > 0:37:17and all you need to win that jackpot is for just one of those answers

0:37:17 > 0:37:18to be pointless.

0:37:18 > 0:37:22Remember the answers you provide can come from any of these categories.

0:37:22 > 0:37:24It's entirely up to you how you spread them across the categories.

0:37:24 > 0:37:27It could be one from Ray, one from Walk The Line,

0:37:27 > 0:37:29one from The Doors, or it could be three from Ray.

0:37:29 > 0:37:32It's entirely up to you how you spread them across. Are you ready?

0:37:32 > 0:37:33Yes.

0:37:33 > 0:37:36OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock. There they are.

0:37:36 > 0:37:37Your time starts now.

0:37:37 > 0:37:40Right, I don't know any from Ray.

0:37:40 > 0:37:42The Doors and Johnny Cash.

0:37:42 > 0:37:45- Think of a big Johnny Cash song. - A Boy Named Sue.- Too obvious.

0:37:45 > 0:37:46Erm, Jackson.

0:37:46 > 0:37:48# We got married in a fever... #

0:37:48 > 0:37:51- Is that called Jackson?- Well, I don't know if it's called Jackson.

0:37:51 > 0:37:52The Doors, LA Woman.

0:37:52 > 0:37:55Right, I'm not a big Doors fan.

0:37:55 > 0:37:57LA Woman, Light My Fire.

0:37:57 > 0:37:59Er...

0:37:59 > 0:38:03- I don't know what other Doors ones...- Think of Walk The Line.

0:38:03 > 0:38:04Erm...

0:38:07 > 0:38:10I know loads of Johnny Cash songs but I can't think of the names.

0:38:10 > 0:38:12- Big River. There's one called Big River.- Is there?

0:38:12 > 0:38:14Folsom Prison Blues, too obvious.

0:38:14 > 0:38:17We'll definitely go with LA Woman.

0:38:17 > 0:38:19Definitely.

0:38:21 > 0:38:24- Jackson.- Jackson, and...

0:38:24 > 0:38:27Light My Fire. Is that obvious?

0:38:27 > 0:38:28Ten seconds left.

0:38:28 > 0:38:31It's a bit obvious, isn't it? Big River..

0:38:31 > 0:38:34- I don't know if that was in the film.- Right, we'll go for it.

0:38:35 > 0:38:37OK, sounds like you've got your...

0:38:37 > 0:38:39Just going to coast in to the end of your minute.

0:38:39 > 0:38:41What are your three answers going to be?

0:38:41 > 0:38:45OK. LA Woman by The Doors.

0:38:45 > 0:38:46LA Woman from The Doors.

0:38:46 > 0:38:51Jackson from Walk The Line and Big River from Walk The line.

0:38:51 > 0:38:53And Big River from Walk The Line. Of those three,

0:38:53 > 0:38:55which do you reckon is your best shot at a pointless answer?

0:38:55 > 0:38:58I'd say that our best shot at pointless is maybe Jackson.

0:38:58 > 0:39:02OK. Jackson we'll put last. Least likely to be pointless?

0:39:02 > 0:39:04LA Woman. That was the first one that came to me.

0:39:04 > 0:39:06LA Woman, we'll pop that up first.

0:39:06 > 0:39:08OK, let's put those answers up on the board in that order,

0:39:08 > 0:39:09and here they are...

0:39:12 > 0:39:14First off, very, very best of luck.

0:39:14 > 0:39:16Three good answers there on the board.

0:39:16 > 0:39:18Only one of those has to be pointless for you to win that

0:39:18 > 0:39:22jackpot of £2,250. Niall, what would you do with your split of that?

0:39:22 > 0:39:26I was planning on going on a road trip with my other friend Paul

0:39:26 > 0:39:29in March. It'll coincide with my 25th birthday

0:39:29 > 0:39:33and when there's going to be some Spring Break happening,

0:39:33 > 0:39:36so it would hopefully culminate in Long Beach, going down from

0:39:36 > 0:39:38the Grand Canyon through to Long Beach and party there for a while.

0:39:38 > 0:39:40Good stuff. How about you, Paul?

0:39:40 > 0:39:43I would probably treat my girlfriend,

0:39:43 > 0:39:44that's what I would do with the money.

0:39:44 > 0:39:47Maybe something specific I'm thinking about treating her,

0:39:47 > 0:39:49- but I don't want to say too much. - OK...

0:39:49 > 0:39:51HE MOUTHS

0:39:53 > 0:39:55Yeah, best of luck with that, Paul.

0:39:55 > 0:39:59So in the first instance we were looking for tracks from The Doors

0:39:59 > 0:40:01and you have submitted LA Woman.

0:40:01 > 0:40:03This was your least confident answer.

0:40:03 > 0:40:07The least likely to be pointless. Let's find out, though.

0:40:07 > 0:40:08It has to be right, obviously,

0:40:08 > 0:40:10then it has to be pointless for you to win the jackpot.

0:40:10 > 0:40:12For £2,250, how many people said LA Woman?

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

0:40:17 > 0:40:19The next thing it has to be, of course, is pointless.

0:40:19 > 0:40:23If it is, then you leave here immediately with £2,250.

0:40:23 > 0:40:26Down it goes through the teens. Still going down. Single figures.

0:40:26 > 0:40:27Still going down... Four.

0:40:27 > 0:40:29Not bad at all!

0:40:31 > 0:40:36That's a very well-known Doors track. Four people remembered it.

0:40:36 > 0:40:39I think that's heartening. Anyway, it's not pointless.

0:40:39 > 0:40:41Two more shots at today's jackpot.

0:40:41 > 0:40:44Your second answer, this time from the film Walk The Line,

0:40:44 > 0:40:46you have said Big River.

0:40:46 > 0:40:48It has to be correct and it has to be pointless.

0:40:48 > 0:40:51Let's find out. For £2,250, how many people said Big River?

0:40:54 > 0:40:55Oh!

0:40:56 > 0:40:59OK, an incorrect answer.

0:40:59 > 0:41:01We now move on to your third and final answer,

0:41:01 > 0:41:03the one you thought was probably your best shot

0:41:03 > 0:41:04at a pointless answer.

0:41:04 > 0:41:07Again, this comes from the original soundtrack of Walk The Line,

0:41:07 > 0:41:08or at least you hope it does,

0:41:08 > 0:41:10and the song you've put forward is Jackson.

0:41:10 > 0:41:12It has to be right, then it has to be pointless.

0:41:12 > 0:41:16For £2,250, let's find out how many people said Jackson.

0:41:19 > 0:41:20It's right.

0:41:20 > 0:41:24OK, your first answer was LA Woman. That took us down to four.

0:41:24 > 0:41:26Your second answer, Big River, was incorrect.

0:41:26 > 0:41:29Your third answer, Jackson, absolutely right.

0:41:29 > 0:41:30Now taking us down...

0:41:30 > 0:41:31Six! Oh, bad luck!

0:41:33 > 0:41:35Unlucky, man. Unlucky.

0:41:37 > 0:41:41I'm really sorry. Three perfectly good answers there.

0:41:41 > 0:41:43Two of them correct, two great scores.

0:41:43 > 0:41:46Unfortunately not a pointless answer among them, which means you don't

0:41:46 > 0:41:51win today's jackpot of £2,250, which will roll over onto the next show.

0:41:51 > 0:41:53We've really enjoyed having you on the show, and you performed

0:41:53 > 0:41:55so well right across the show, so very well done to you.

0:41:55 > 0:41:58You do get to take home a Pointless trophy each, so well done.

0:42:03 > 0:42:05It's been a real pleasure to have you on.

0:42:05 > 0:42:08A shame you're not coming back next time. We'd love to have you back.

0:42:08 > 0:42:09Big River, Johnny Cash did record it

0:42:09 > 0:42:12but it's not from the soundtrack of I Walk The Line.

0:42:12 > 0:42:15Let's take a look at all the pointless answers.

0:42:15 > 0:42:17Three very different artists here. Tracks from Ray...

0:42:22 > 0:42:24You could also have had Night Time Is The Right Time.

0:42:24 > 0:42:26All of those were pointless.

0:42:26 > 0:42:29Let's take a look at The Doors. All of these were original recordings

0:42:29 > 0:42:31by The Doors that are on the soundtrack...

0:42:36 > 0:42:38You could also have had Stoned Immaculate for that.

0:42:38 > 0:42:41And Johnny Cash. Hopefully none of these ring too much of a bell.

0:42:41 > 0:42:45Joaquin Phoenix did Cry Cry Cry and Get Rhythm.

0:42:45 > 0:42:47I'm A Long Way From Home by Shooter Jennings,

0:42:47 > 0:42:50but he played his own father, Waylon Jennings, in that film.

0:42:50 > 0:42:52And Juke Box Blues, Reese Witherspoon.

0:42:52 > 0:42:54Very well done if you said any of those at home,

0:42:54 > 0:42:56and tough luck in the studio. Well played, guys.

0:42:56 > 0:42:57Thanks very much indeed, Richard.

0:42:57 > 0:43:00Unfortunately we have to say goodbye to you, Niall and Paul,

0:43:00 > 0:43:02but we've loved having you on the show. You've done so well.

0:43:02 > 0:43:05And thanks so much for playing. Niall and Paul, everyone.

0:43:07 > 0:43:10Well, sadly Niall and Paul didn't win our jackpot today, which means

0:43:10 > 0:43:14it rolls over onto the next show, when we will be playing for...

0:43:16 > 0:43:18Join us next time, see if someone can win it.

0:43:18 > 0:43:21- Meanwhile it's goodbye from Richard. - Goodbye.- And it's goodbye from me.
