0:00:13 > 0:00:15APPLAUSE

0:00:20 > 0:00:21Thank you very much indeed.

0:00:21 > 0:00:24Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,

0:00:24 > 0:00:27the show where the lowest scorers are the biggest winners.

0:00:27 > 0:00:28Let's meet today's players.

0:00:32 > 0:00:33And couple number one.

0:00:33 > 0:00:36Hi, my name's Gemma, this is my friend Johnny,

0:00:36 > 0:00:38- and we're from Plymouth. - Couple number two.

0:00:38 > 0:00:40Hi, I'm Chris, this is my work colleague Adam,

0:00:40 > 0:00:42- and we're from Grimsby. - Couple number three.

0:00:42 > 0:00:45Hi, I'm Penni, this is my sister Jo, and we're from Barry.

0:00:45 > 0:00:47And finally, couple number four.

0:00:47 > 0:00:49Hi, I'm Leo, I'm from Nottingham,

0:00:49 > 0:00:51this is my friend James from Peterborough.

0:00:51 > 0:00:53And these are today's contestants.

0:00:55 > 0:00:58Thanks, all of you. We'll find out more about you throughout the show

0:00:58 > 0:01:01as it goes along. So that just leaves one more person for me

0:01:01 > 0:01:03to introduce - a roaming, unfeeling, knowledge samurai,

0:01:03 > 0:01:06selling his masterful and brutal skills of trivia

0:01:06 > 0:01:09to the highest bidder. Just don't ask him to show you his sword.

0:01:09 > 0:01:11It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.

0:01:11 > 0:01:14Hiya. Hi, everybody. Hiya.

0:01:17 > 0:01:19- Good afternoon to you. - And to you, Rich.- Are you well?

0:01:19 > 0:01:21- I'm very well, thank you.- Excellent.

0:01:21 > 0:01:24We only got one returning pair from last time, that's Chris and Adam.

0:01:24 > 0:01:27Adam made the mistake of coming onto the show with his boss,

0:01:27 > 0:01:28which you must never do, must you?

0:01:28 > 0:01:31Especially if you've got a round about Cockney rhyming slang

0:01:31 > 0:01:34and you give an answer that doesn't rhyme...in Round One.

0:01:34 > 0:01:37You get knocked out. He's got some making up to do,

0:01:37 > 0:01:39I suspect, if he wants to keep his job for next week.

0:01:39 > 0:01:43We always chat to everyone before the show and get their measure.

0:01:43 > 0:01:45I think there's trouble on one of our podiums.

0:01:45 > 0:01:48- Do you want me to guess which one? - Yeah, what do you think?

0:01:48 > 0:01:51Oh, no, I know exactly where it is! Yes, podium three.

0:01:51 > 0:01:53I've got a nose for that.

0:01:53 > 0:02:00- Just instantly, tell it instantly, can't you?- Yeah.- Kind of true.- Maybe.

0:02:00 > 0:02:02- Probably true. - Cracking show today, though.

0:02:02 > 0:02:05Round Two, before we start it, there's something I need to talk to you about

0:02:05 > 0:02:08just at the beginning of Round Two, so remind me.

0:02:08 > 0:02:12- Just a little something that needs addressing.- OK.

0:02:12 > 0:02:13Thanks very much indeed, Richard.

0:02:13 > 0:02:16All of today's questions have been asked to 100 people before the show.

0:02:16 > 0:02:19All our contestants have to do is eke out those pointless answers,

0:02:19 > 0:02:22that being an answer that none of our 100 people gave.

0:02:22 > 0:02:25Each time that happens, we will add 250 quid to the jackpot.

0:02:25 > 0:02:28Now, Adrian and Rebecca didn't win the jackpot last time,

0:02:28 > 0:02:32so we add another £1,000 to that, so today's jackpot starts off at...

0:02:35 > 0:02:37Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.

0:02:42 > 0:02:45Now, the pair with the highest score at the end of this round will be

0:02:45 > 0:02:47eliminated, and remember, there is

0:02:47 > 0:02:49to be no conferring during the round itself.

0:02:49 > 0:02:51Our first category today is...

0:02:54 > 0:02:56Tennis. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,

0:02:56 > 0:02:58who's going to second?

0:02:58 > 0:03:02And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:03:03 > 0:03:05Let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.

0:03:05 > 0:03:09We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...

0:03:12 > 0:03:15..as they could. 2013 Grand Slam semifinalists. Richard.

0:03:15 > 0:03:18We're looking for the name of any tennis player, female or male,

0:03:18 > 0:03:21who made the semifinals of any of the four Grand Slam

0:03:21 > 0:03:22tournaments in 2013, please.

0:03:22 > 0:03:25That's the Australian or French Open, Wimbledon or the US Open,

0:03:25 > 0:03:27so the male or female tennis player who made

0:03:27 > 0:03:30the semifinals of any of those four tournaments. Very best of luck.

0:03:30 > 0:03:32Thanks very much indeed.

0:03:32 > 0:03:35Now then, Johnny and Gemma, you all drew lots before the show,

0:03:35 > 0:03:36and today, you are going to go first.

0:03:36 > 0:03:38Now, Gemma, what do you do?

0:03:38 > 0:03:42I work in a corner shop, but I also do a lot of charity work.

0:03:42 > 0:03:44Good for you, very good. So, a convenience store.

0:03:44 > 0:03:48- Yes, a convenience store. It's a family-run business.- Very nice.

0:03:48 > 0:03:51- That means you must know everyone. You know everyone in the area.- I do.

0:03:51 > 0:03:52I'm the hub of the community.

0:03:52 > 0:03:56You know what papers they buy, what magazines they have on order.

0:03:56 > 0:03:58Penny sweets, the bane of my life.

0:03:58 > 0:04:00Oh, yeah, you have to shake them out.

0:04:00 > 0:04:02- I have to count them.- Oh, no!

0:04:02 > 0:04:06- £2 worth of penny sweets at 3:00 with a queue full of children?- Wow.

0:04:06 > 0:04:09How many children do you allow at the shop at once?

0:04:09 > 0:04:13- We don't have rules. It's carnage. 3:00, carnage.- Free for all.

0:04:13 > 0:04:16All right, Gemma. Tennis.

0:04:16 > 0:04:21I think I'm going to go for...er...

0:04:21 > 0:04:24See, I'm worried about his first name now.

0:04:24 > 0:04:26Erm...

0:04:26 > 0:04:28- Novak Djokovic.- OK.

0:04:28 > 0:04:31Novak Djokovic, says Gemma. Let's see if it's right,

0:04:31 > 0:04:33let's see how many of our 100 people said that.

0:04:34 > 0:04:38Well, it's right. That is a very important part of your answer.

0:04:40 > 0:04:4135.

0:04:43 > 0:04:45We will discover how good or bad a score that is,

0:04:45 > 0:04:48- but I think that's not bad at all. - Yeah, it's a good start.

0:04:48 > 0:04:50He's the only player to appear in the semifinals of all

0:04:50 > 0:04:54- four of those tournaments, actually. - Chris, welcome back to the show.

0:04:54 > 0:04:57- Now. Last time, Round One... - Yeah.- Oh, you were all right.

0:04:57 > 0:04:59Yeah, I did fine.

0:04:59 > 0:05:03Now, Chris, your phone shop, the mobile phone shop you run where

0:05:03 > 0:05:07you are the manager and you employ Adam, is it an independent shop?

0:05:07 > 0:05:09Is it very much...you're your own bosses?

0:05:09 > 0:05:12Or are you run by a particular mobile phone network?

0:05:12 > 0:05:15I work for a particular network.

0:05:15 > 0:05:17So your job is essentially to know a little bit about the handsets

0:05:17 > 0:05:19- but a lot about the tariffs. - Absolutely.

0:05:19 > 0:05:22We need to know everything about every handset to give

0:05:22 > 0:05:26- the perfect demo to the customers. - Chris, I bet he's good.

0:05:26 > 0:05:29- His customer care, I'm sensing it from here.- Me too.

0:05:29 > 0:05:34Absolutely holistic, 360 degrees, what it is. Now then, Chris, tennis.

0:05:34 > 0:05:40- Ah, no.- Really? - I'm going to go for an answer.

0:05:40 > 0:05:42- That's what I'm hoping you will. - I'm hoping it's right as well.

0:05:42 > 0:05:46- I'm going for Serena Williams. - Serena Williams, says Chris.

0:05:46 > 0:05:48Serena Williams. Let's see if that's right,

0:05:48 > 0:05:50and if it is, let's see how many people said it.

0:05:52 > 0:05:53It's right.

0:05:53 > 0:05:55Well, 35's what Gemma scored.

0:05:57 > 0:05:59You passed that, 33. Oh, it's close, though!

0:05:59 > 0:06:00APPLAUSE

0:06:03 > 0:06:05Winner of the French and the US Open, Serena Williams.

0:06:05 > 0:06:09- Also got four gold medals in the Olympics.- Thanks very much indeed.

0:06:09 > 0:06:13- Now, Penni, welcome.- Hi.- Welcome to the show. What do you do, Penni?

0:06:13 > 0:06:14I've got my own business.

0:06:14 > 0:06:19I run classes, bilingual classes, for babies and little ones,

0:06:19 > 0:06:22where we teach language through music.

0:06:22 > 0:06:24It's a lovely job, it's brilliant.

0:06:24 > 0:06:28And the languages being, I'm guessing, Welsh and English.

0:06:28 > 0:06:30- Exactly right. - So you sing songs. Do you do...

0:06:30 > 0:06:31# Gee ceffyl bach yn cario ni'n dau

0:06:31 > 0:06:33# Dros y mynydd i hela cnau

0:06:33 > 0:06:35# Dwr yn yr afon a'r cerrig yn slic

0:06:35 > 0:06:38# Cwympo ni'n dau Wel dyna chi dric. #

0:06:39 > 0:06:40CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:06:44 > 0:06:45- Do you do that?- Yeah, we do!

0:06:45 > 0:06:47- There we go.- Not as good as that. - OK.

0:06:47 > 0:06:51- Fair play!- Good. So, Penni, excellent. Thank you.

0:06:51 > 0:06:55- What are you going to go for? - I'm going to say Rafael Nadal.

0:06:55 > 0:06:56Rafael Nadal.

0:06:56 > 0:06:58Let's see if Rafael Nadal is right,

0:06:58 > 0:07:00and if it is, let's see how many people said it.

0:07:02 > 0:07:06It is of course right. Now, 35 is our high score, 33 our low.

0:07:06 > 0:07:07I wonder...

0:07:07 > 0:07:10Ooh, 39. You're in the 30s. This is all good.

0:07:10 > 0:07:11You're four ahead.

0:07:12 > 0:07:15- Not bad at all.- Yeah, Rafa Nadal, Penni, very good answer.

0:07:15 > 0:07:17I feel bad for saying you were going to be trouble,

0:07:17 > 0:07:20- you're no trouble at all. You even let Xander do a Welsh song.- See?

0:07:20 > 0:07:24- A little spotlight.- Lovely.- Yeah. Thank you very much indeed.

0:07:24 > 0:07:27Now then, James, welcome. Welcome to Pointless. Good to have you here.

0:07:27 > 0:07:31- James, what do you do?- I'm a service manager in the animal feed industry.

0:07:31 > 0:07:34What are your hobbies away from animal feed?

0:07:34 > 0:07:38Play football, squash, anything competitive, really.

0:07:38 > 0:07:41I normally play against Leo and beat him quite convincingly, so.

0:07:41 > 0:07:43I tell you what I'm sensing from the fourth podium,

0:07:43 > 0:07:47an answer that's going to score less than 33. That's what I'm thinking.

0:07:47 > 0:07:50Based on the fact that I know Leo's going to do really well at this,

0:07:50 > 0:07:54- I'm going to take a punt, I think, and say Li Na.- Li Na.

0:07:54 > 0:07:56OK, let's see if that's right,

0:07:56 > 0:07:59and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Li Na.

0:08:01 > 0:08:03It's right! Well done, James, good answer.

0:08:03 > 0:08:06As I say, 33 is our low score so far.

0:08:06 > 0:08:07You whizzed past that...

0:08:08 > 0:08:09..to 3!

0:08:13 > 0:08:14Very well done, James.

0:08:16 > 0:08:18That's a very good answer on that last podium.

0:08:18 > 0:08:21- She was a semifinalist in the US Open.- Thank you very much.

0:08:21 > 0:08:23We're halfway through the round. Let's look at those scores.

0:08:23 > 0:08:253, James, very well done.

0:08:25 > 0:08:26Lot of threes in this round.

0:08:26 > 0:08:29Then we travel up from there to 33, where we find Chris and Adam,

0:08:29 > 0:08:31up to 35, where we find Gemma and Johnny,

0:08:31 > 0:08:35then up to 39, where we find Penni and Jo. So, Jo.

0:08:35 > 0:08:38- Now you're looking troubled. - Oh, I am troubled.

0:08:38 > 0:08:40- Really?- Yeah. - Why? What, tennis?

0:08:40 > 0:08:42I only know two, and Penni said one of them

0:08:42 > 0:08:46and the other one is just terrible.

0:08:46 > 0:08:48Well, that's OK, as long as it's terrible and right.

0:08:48 > 0:08:49- It might be fine.- OK.

0:08:49 > 0:08:51Listen, best of luck.

0:08:51 > 0:08:54We'll come back down the line. Can the second players step up?

0:08:57 > 0:09:00Now, Leo, remember, we're looking for the name of anyone who's

0:09:00 > 0:09:04reached the semifinal of a Grand Slam tennis tournament in 2013.

0:09:04 > 0:09:07Welcome to the show, Leo. What do you do?

0:09:07 > 0:09:11Please, don't boo me, but I'm an accountant, I'm afraid.

0:09:11 > 0:09:13No-one really would've minded, actually.

0:09:13 > 0:09:15- I think accountants are great. - Everybody likes accountants.

0:09:15 > 0:09:19Everyone likes accountants. I think that's a very outmoded reference.

0:09:19 > 0:09:21I think people like accountants.

0:09:21 > 0:09:24- They like accountants, they don't like tax collectors.- No!

0:09:24 > 0:09:27I like to think I'm not a stereotypical accountant.

0:09:27 > 0:09:28I'd like to think you're not as well.

0:09:28 > 0:09:30I think that goes without saying.

0:09:30 > 0:09:32So, Leo, there you are, you're on 3.

0:09:32 > 0:09:35High scorers on 39, Jo and Penni. You've been billed

0:09:35 > 0:09:38as the great eminence grise of tennis,

0:09:38 > 0:09:40so I'm looking forward to this.

0:09:40 > 0:09:43I'm about to shatter some illusions there, I think.

0:09:43 > 0:09:45I'm going to play relatively safe

0:09:45 > 0:09:50- and I'm going to go for Roger Federer.- Roger Federer.

0:09:50 > 0:09:51There is your red line.

0:09:51 > 0:09:54Roger Federer, will that get you below that red line? Let's find out.

0:10:01 > 0:10:03No, 40.

0:10:03 > 0:10:0843 is your total.

0:10:08 > 0:10:09Yeah, it's a big score.

0:10:09 > 0:10:12He had a terrible season in 2013 by his standards.

0:10:12 > 0:10:14The only semifinal he made in the Grand Slam was Australia.

0:10:14 > 0:10:18Now, then, Jo, look. What a lifeline you've been thrown. What about that?

0:10:18 > 0:10:2343. We have new high scorers, Leo and James. Welcome to the show.

0:10:23 > 0:10:26Welcome. What do you do, Jo?

0:10:26 > 0:10:29Will I say librarian or will I say information professional?

0:10:29 > 0:10:31I'm not sure.

0:10:31 > 0:10:34LAUGHTER

0:10:34 > 0:10:36I'm a librarian, I can't get away from it.

0:10:36 > 0:10:38An information professional. Is that one of the...

0:10:38 > 0:10:41CILIP is the Chartered Institute of Library and Information

0:10:41 > 0:10:44Professionals, and it sounds a little better than "librarian".

0:10:44 > 0:10:47- I think librarian's a great job! - Librarian sounds great.- Cracking job.

0:10:47 > 0:10:49What is it with accountants

0:10:49 > 0:10:51and librarians being down on themselves all of a sudden?

0:10:51 > 0:10:54Librarians, in my experience, have always been fantastic people.

0:10:54 > 0:10:56Now, Jo, Jo, listen,

0:10:56 > 0:10:59if there's a world in which you could score 3 or less,

0:10:59 > 0:11:02that'd be a world in which you went through to the next round.

0:11:02 > 0:11:04Be ace. Ooh...

0:11:04 > 0:11:06I'm going to say Andy Murray.

0:11:06 > 0:11:09Because he's the only other tennis player I know.

0:11:09 > 0:11:10Andy Murray.

0:11:10 > 0:11:15OK, well, let's see if you can score 3 or less with Andy Murray.

0:11:15 > 0:11:16There's your red line.

0:11:16 > 0:11:19Let's find out, how many people said Andy Murray?

0:11:21 > 0:11:22It's right.

0:11:23 > 0:11:2471.

0:11:25 > 0:11:2771 takes your total up to

0:11:27 > 0:11:29a neat 110.

0:11:29 > 0:11:33- Want to make things tidy. - But you're not out of the game yet.

0:11:33 > 0:11:37He's a correct answer and he'll be around for a long time to come, I suspect.

0:11:37 > 0:11:40Thanks very much, Richard. Now then, Adam, welcome back.

0:11:40 > 0:11:44We discovered last time that you and Chris became firm friends when

0:11:44 > 0:11:48you were a customer in the shop, and you went skydiving with him.

0:11:48 > 0:11:51Exactly, it just goes to show what crazy things can happen

0:11:51 > 0:11:53when you go in to buy a mobile phone.

0:11:53 > 0:11:55Next week, you're hurling through the air at 10,000 miles an hour.

0:11:55 > 0:11:59- You just never know.- Now, has Chris kept up that level of excitement?

0:11:59 > 0:12:01Well, he's a fantastic manager,

0:12:01 > 0:12:04and he always keeps everyone happy in the office.

0:12:04 > 0:12:08Basically, he has the best talk with the customers I know as well.

0:12:08 > 0:12:10Wow, you may yet keep your job.

0:12:10 > 0:12:12- LAUGHTER - I'm fighting for my job.

0:12:12 > 0:12:14OK, you're on 33, the high scorers at the moment

0:12:14 > 0:12:17are Jo and Penny on 110, so 76 or less will see you through.

0:12:17 > 0:12:20I have a feeling you're going to be all right on this.

0:12:20 > 0:12:25OK. I'm just going to throw it out there, and I'm going to go for...

0:12:25 > 0:12:26Tim Henman.

0:12:26 > 0:12:29Tim Henman. It's quite nice and high, your red line.

0:12:29 > 0:12:34- I mean, really it should be an easy journey, that.- I've got the faith.

0:12:34 > 0:12:37Let's see if Tim Henman can get you below that red line.

0:12:37 > 0:12:38Chris, what do you think?

0:12:38 > 0:12:40- No! - LAUGHTER

0:12:40 > 0:12:43Let's find out. Tim Henman, is that right?

0:12:45 > 0:12:47No, I'm sorry, Adam.

0:12:47 > 0:12:50You have just made Jo and Penni extremely happy.

0:12:50 > 0:12:54But I'm afraid that has scored you the maximum of 100 points,

0:12:54 > 0:12:57takes your total up to 133 - but the game is not over yet.

0:12:57 > 0:12:59You're not out of the game quite yet.

0:12:59 > 0:13:02Sorry, Adam, he retired in 2007, I'm afraid, Tim Henman,

0:13:02 > 0:13:05though he WAS a tennis player.

0:13:05 > 0:13:07Chris, I have one question for you.

0:13:07 > 0:13:09When is Adam's next appraisal?

0:13:09 > 0:13:12- LAUGHTER - Very, very soon.

0:13:12 > 0:13:15You're getting me a bit hot under the collar here.

0:13:15 > 0:13:18So we come to you, Johnny. What do you do?

0:13:18 > 0:13:21I'm a web programmer for a market research company.

0:13:21 > 0:13:24We do online surveys, actually.

0:13:24 > 0:13:27OK. And what are you going to go with?

0:13:27 > 0:13:30I think there was a lady in the semifinals -

0:13:30 > 0:13:33Flipkens, I think she's called. Kirsten Flipkens.

0:13:33 > 0:13:37But I'm going to go bit safer and go for Sabine Lisicki.

0:13:37 > 0:13:39Sabine Lisicki.

0:13:39 > 0:13:42OK, there is your red line.

0:13:42 > 0:13:43If you get below that with Sabine Lisicki,

0:13:43 > 0:13:45you are through to Round Two.

0:13:45 > 0:13:47Let's see if it's right and how many people said it.

0:13:49 > 0:13:51It's right. Very well done, Johnny.

0:13:55 > 0:13:573.

0:13:59 > 0:14:02You equal our other low score. That takes your total up to 38,

0:14:02 > 0:14:05the lowest total of the whole round. Very well done.

0:14:05 > 0:14:07Well played, Johnny, as you say she made the final.

0:14:07 > 0:14:09You were right about Kirsten Flipkens as well -

0:14:09 > 0:14:11she would have scored you 1 point.

0:14:11 > 0:14:13- Oooh! - Would have been a terrific answer.

0:14:13 > 0:14:15Let's take a look at the two pointless answers.

0:14:15 > 0:14:19Flavia Pennetta who got through to the semifinals of the US Open,

0:14:19 > 0:14:22and Sloane Stephens, who got through to her first Grand Slam semifinal

0:14:22 > 0:14:242013 in the Australian.

0:14:24 > 0:14:27Other low scorers you could have had -

0:14:27 > 0:14:29Sara Errani would have scored you 1,

0:14:29 > 0:14:31Richard Gasquet would have scored you 1.

0:14:31 > 0:14:33Flipkens would have scored you 1 as well.

0:14:33 > 0:14:36Stanislas Wawrinka would have scored you 2.

0:14:36 > 0:14:38Let's take a look at the top three...

0:14:46 > 0:14:49Thanks very much, Richard. So at the end of our first round

0:14:49 > 0:14:51the pair heading home with their high score of 133,

0:14:51 > 0:14:53it's Chris and Adam.

0:14:53 > 0:14:55I am so sorry.

0:14:55 > 0:14:58It's been Round One each time, which is too little time.

0:14:58 > 0:15:01Well, we've had a giggle. That's the main thing.

0:15:01 > 0:15:04- Yeah, you have, Adam. - LAUGHTER

0:15:04 > 0:15:06And you are a member of our...

0:15:06 > 0:15:09Personally, you are in the 200 Club.

0:15:09 > 0:15:12We've had two answers from you and we've had 100 points for each.

0:15:12 > 0:15:16But it's fine. You've got a nice journey back to Grimsby,

0:15:16 > 0:15:19you can spend all of that working out what your next job's going to be.

0:15:19 > 0:15:21LAUGHTER

0:15:21 > 0:15:23It's been an enormous pleasure having you on.

0:15:23 > 0:15:25Adam and Chris, thanks for playing.

0:15:26 > 0:15:29But for the remaining three pairs it's now time for Round Two.

0:15:33 > 0:15:35And so, three pairs remain.

0:15:35 > 0:15:38At the end of this round, we'll have to say goodbye to another pair

0:15:38 > 0:15:39in time for our head-to-head round.

0:15:39 > 0:15:42Well, Johnny and Gemma - great low score from you, Johnny

0:15:42 > 0:15:45and from you, James, with Li Na. Fantastic.

0:15:45 > 0:15:48Oh, and Penni and Jo...

0:15:48 > 0:15:51- What a relief, eh?- A little close, huh?- Little bit close.

0:15:51 > 0:15:55Well, best of luck to all three pairs. Our category for Round Two is...

0:15:57 > 0:15:59It's History.

0:15:59 > 0:16:02Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,

0:16:02 > 0:16:03who's going to go second?

0:16:03 > 0:16:05And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:16:08 > 0:16:12And this is the bit where I wanted to say to you at the start of Round Two, that I have an issue with.

0:16:12 > 0:16:15Cos we always do, what's it about and what's the specific question.

0:16:15 > 0:16:17- Yeah.- So it's History, right?

0:16:17 > 0:16:20- So I'm polishing up my Tudors and what have you...- Yeah.

0:16:20 > 0:16:22Let's take a look at what the question is.

0:16:22 > 0:16:25OK. And the question concerns...

0:16:27 > 0:16:29LAUGHTER

0:16:30 > 0:16:34- Ah...- You see, to me that's current affairs, that's topical!

0:16:34 > 0:16:37Oh, I see what you mean. Yeah.

0:16:37 > 0:16:40Anyway, on each pass we're going to give you six clues to people

0:16:40 > 0:16:41or events that happened in the 1970s.

0:16:41 > 0:16:44Give us a nice obscure answer, you're going to score fewer points.

0:16:44 > 0:16:47Going to be 12 in all to have a go at at home,

0:16:47 > 0:16:50best of luck with this "historical round". XANDER CHUCKLES

0:16:50 > 0:16:54So remember, we're looking for the people and events of the 1970s described by these clues.

0:16:54 > 0:16:56Here is our first board of six.

0:17:20 > 0:17:22I'll read those all one last time.

0:17:48 > 0:17:52- Oh, Gemma, you don't look happy. - I'm really struggling here.

0:17:52 > 0:17:55My history wasn't this, really!

0:17:55 > 0:17:57But I'm a huge fan of the '70s

0:17:57 > 0:18:00- MUSIC-wise.- That's a good way in.

0:18:00 > 0:18:02I know, but none of the answers

0:18:02 > 0:18:04- are Paul McCartney and Wings.- Sssh!

0:18:04 > 0:18:07I'm just going to have to guess...

0:18:07 > 0:18:08Name given to the Communist party

0:18:08 > 0:18:09that ruled Cambodia is

0:18:09 > 0:18:12the Red Party.

0:18:12 > 0:18:15The Red Party, you're going to say.

0:18:15 > 0:18:18- I'm so sorry. - No, that's not a terrible guess.

0:18:18 > 0:18:21The Red Party, let's see if that's right.

0:18:23 > 0:18:26I'm afraid it's an incorrect answer, Gemma.

0:18:26 > 0:18:28Scores you 100 points, but...

0:18:28 > 0:18:32- It's not a stupid incorrect answer. It's a clever incorrect answer. - I'm not sure about that.

0:18:32 > 0:18:35Sorry, that is genuinely a tough board if you weren't around at the time.

0:18:35 > 0:18:38All of the answers are things that were on the news

0:18:38 > 0:18:41when we were growing up so we'll know them all,

0:18:41 > 0:18:43but that is actually a tough board.

0:18:43 > 0:18:47That may well not be the last 100 points, Gemma, so take heart. Jo...

0:18:47 > 0:18:50It won't be the last 100, I promise you.

0:18:50 > 0:18:53Are you struggling with them all?

0:18:53 > 0:18:56There's two that I should know,

0:18:56 > 0:18:58but they're just not coming to me.

0:18:58 > 0:18:59They're just not there.

0:19:01 > 0:19:03I'll never speak to you again

0:19:03 > 0:19:05- if you get it wrong.- I know...

0:19:05 > 0:19:08- No pressure.- I know!

0:19:08 > 0:19:10I'm going to say the Red Army for the Communist party.

0:19:10 > 0:19:12I don't know if it's right or not.

0:19:12 > 0:19:13The Red Army.

0:19:13 > 0:19:17OK, the Red Army for the Communist party in Cambodia.

0:19:17 > 0:19:20Well, let's see if that's right, the Red Army.

0:19:21 > 0:19:24Oh, I'm afraid an incorrect answer there, Jo,

0:19:24 > 0:19:27scores you 100 points as well.

0:19:27 > 0:19:30- Sorry.- Sorry, Jo, not Red Army either.

0:19:30 > 0:19:34We'll find out that elusive name at the end of the pass.

0:19:34 > 0:19:35Tell you what, though, James -

0:19:35 > 0:19:39- you can talk us through the board. That board is all yours! - LAUGHTER

0:19:39 > 0:19:40Yeah, I'm assuming this was

0:19:40 > 0:19:43some kind of sick joke, really.

0:19:43 > 0:19:44So what I'm going to do is say

0:19:44 > 0:19:47the Egyptian who succeeded Nasser

0:19:47 > 0:19:48as president,

0:19:48 > 0:19:49and I'm going to say confidently,

0:19:49 > 0:19:51so in a kind of Derren Brown thing

0:19:51 > 0:19:53you actually get it right...

0:19:53 > 0:19:56So I'm going to say it's al-Hassan.

0:19:56 > 0:19:58Al-Hassan. OK, let's see if that's right, shall we?

0:19:58 > 0:20:01if it is, how many people said it.

0:20:03 > 0:20:04Oh, no.

0:20:04 > 0:20:08I don't know what's going on, there must be a tower malfunction,

0:20:08 > 0:20:09but that is registering as wrong.

0:20:09 > 0:20:11Despite my brain telling me that was right.

0:20:11 > 0:20:14Don't know what's going on. I'm afraid that scores you 100.

0:20:14 > 0:20:16- Yeah, can we check the tower...? - Yeah.

0:20:16 > 0:20:18LAUGHTER Is there a...?

0:20:20 > 0:20:22Now, the name of the Communist party

0:20:22 > 0:20:25is Khmer Rouge. Would have scored 22.

0:20:25 > 0:20:27The Egyptian who succeeded Nasser?

0:20:27 > 0:20:30- Was Sadat.- Anwar Sadat, yeah.

0:20:30 > 0:20:32For 7. The revolutionary group -

0:20:32 > 0:20:34this is where music can help you out.

0:20:34 > 0:20:36- Contras. No... - It was the Sandinistas.

0:20:36 > 0:20:37Oh, Sandinistas!

0:20:37 > 0:20:41Which of course is a Clash album. Does that help(?)

0:20:41 > 0:20:44That would have scored you 3 points.

0:20:44 > 0:20:45Sandinista National Liberation Front,

0:20:45 > 0:20:48I'd have given you Sandinistas.

0:20:48 > 0:20:50If you're going to guess something, guess a country,

0:20:50 > 0:20:52cos there's not as many - guess one that's near Pakistan.

0:20:52 > 0:20:55Bangladesh is the answer to that one.

0:20:55 > 0:20:57That would have scored 21.

0:20:57 > 0:20:58The general who seized power...

0:20:58 > 0:21:00- Idi Amin.- Idi Amin. There you go.

0:21:00 > 0:21:03I was going to say but I didn't know if I had it right.

0:21:03 > 0:21:05Oh, you should have said it.

0:21:05 > 0:21:07Oh, that's annoying.

0:21:07 > 0:21:09And the art historian...

0:21:09 > 0:21:12- Anthony Blunt.- Anthony Blunt was the art historian, yeah.

0:21:12 > 0:21:15- And he would have scored you 16. So 100 did all right there.- They did.

0:21:15 > 0:21:17We're halfway through the round.

0:21:17 > 0:21:20Let's take a look at those scores cos it's close(!)

0:21:20 > 0:21:23Well, very well done, Gemma and Johnny, the lowest score

0:21:23 > 0:21:25and the highest score in that round.

0:21:25 > 0:21:27Ditto, Jo and Penni and ditto, James and Leo -

0:21:27 > 0:21:30you're all on 100, which means, Leo, Penni and Johnny,

0:21:30 > 0:21:31it's all between you

0:21:31 > 0:21:34to decide who leaves us at the end of the round.

0:21:34 > 0:21:35Think it'll go to lockdown?

0:21:35 > 0:21:39I think it feels like it's going to a '70s-style lockdown.

0:21:39 > 0:21:41Which would be a gas-powered lockdown.

0:21:41 > 0:21:43Oh, that would be fun, wouldn't it?

0:21:43 > 0:21:45Sort of, slash power cut. That's great.

0:21:45 > 0:21:49OK, can the second players please step up to the podium?

0:21:52 > 0:21:54OK, let's put six more clues on the board

0:21:54 > 0:21:57and let's pray some of us know these.

0:22:25 > 0:22:26I'll read those all one last time.

0:22:54 > 0:22:58Six clues to six more people and events of the 1970s.

0:22:58 > 0:23:00Leo, you're on 100 points,

0:23:00 > 0:23:02you're joint high-scorers along with everyone else.

0:23:02 > 0:23:07We need a score of less than 100. I think you can do this, Leo.

0:23:07 > 0:23:10- I'm not so sure.- Oh, come on. Come on, there are some easy ones there.

0:23:10 > 0:23:13I could look really foolish but I'm going to take a guess.

0:23:13 > 0:23:16I don't know when the Winter of Discontent was,

0:23:16 > 0:23:19but I'm going to guess it was during the early

0:23:19 > 0:23:21- reign of Margaret Thatcher. - OK, let's see if that's right.

0:23:21 > 0:23:25No red line for you as you're joint high-scorers. Margaret Thatcher.

0:23:27 > 0:23:30No. I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer,

0:23:30 > 0:23:32scores you a maximum of 100 points, takes your total up to 200.

0:23:32 > 0:23:36- We've never had a 600-point Round Two before.- Nope.

0:23:36 > 0:23:37I would bet we won't have a 600.

0:23:37 > 0:23:41I think Penni and Johnny - one of them - is going to get one of these.

0:23:41 > 0:23:42I think so.

0:23:42 > 0:23:46- Penni, is it you?- Do you know what? I wouldn't bet on me.

0:23:46 > 0:23:47But I'm going to have a go.

0:23:47 > 0:23:50I'm going to go with the Prime Minister and I'm going to go

0:23:50 > 0:23:53that it was Harold Wilson in the Winter of Discontent.

0:23:53 > 0:23:55Cos he had a pipe - trustworthy.

0:23:56 > 0:23:59MILD LAUGHTER

0:23:59 > 0:24:02- Kind of true.- Harold Wilson. Let's see if that's right.

0:24:02 > 0:24:04There's your red line.

0:24:06 > 0:24:08- No!- Oh!

0:24:08 > 0:24:10I'm afraid that's another incorrect answer.

0:24:10 > 0:24:12Scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 200.

0:24:12 > 0:24:15We are guaranteed lockdown now.

0:24:15 > 0:24:18# Ooh, lockdown. #

0:24:18 > 0:24:19Johnny, no pressure, but...

0:24:19 > 0:24:22- Come on.- Come on, Johnny, pull it out the bag.

0:24:22 > 0:24:24Fiona Bruce has got news to read.

0:24:24 > 0:24:27The first board was a stinker. This one's a stinker, too.

0:24:29 > 0:24:33I'm going to have a guess at a country for the Cod Wars.

0:24:33 > 0:24:36I'm going to go for Norway.

0:24:36 > 0:24:38OK, Norway, says Johnny for the Cod Wars.

0:24:38 > 0:24:41Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many of our 100 people

0:24:41 > 0:24:43said Norway. There's your red line.

0:24:46 > 0:24:49No, bad luck, Johnny. I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer.

0:24:49 > 0:24:51Scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 200.

0:24:51 > 0:24:54We have reached lockdown.

0:24:54 > 0:24:57We really have reached lockdown.

0:24:57 > 0:25:01As it's a tie, the tied pairs have to give me one more answer each,

0:25:01 > 0:25:03and they are allowed to confer.

0:25:03 > 0:25:07The pair with the highest score will be eliminated.

0:25:07 > 0:25:10Johnny and Gemma, you will go first.

0:25:11 > 0:25:13- I've gone...- Gone blank?

0:25:13 > 0:25:15Tom's going to punch me.

0:25:15 > 0:25:19Gemma's trying to wrack her brain for the golfer, but it's not coming.

0:25:19 > 0:25:23And we're sort of agreed on Edward Heath.

0:25:23 > 0:25:26- For the Prime Minister.- Ted. - Ted Heath.

0:25:26 > 0:25:30OK, you're going to say Ted Heath. Now then, Penni and Jo.

0:25:30 > 0:25:33Put your heads together and come up with an answer.

0:25:33 > 0:25:34You want to go for James Callaghan.

0:25:34 > 0:25:37He's the only other one I can think of from the '70s.

0:25:37 > 0:25:39Macmillan. What's his name? Harold Macmillan.

0:25:39 > 0:25:42- Harold was in the '60s, wasn't he? - I don't know.

0:25:42 > 0:25:47- James Callaghan for the Prime Minister.- James Callaghan. OK.

0:25:47 > 0:25:52Leo and James, we need an answer from you, from this board.

0:25:52 > 0:25:53We're going to go for the golfer.

0:25:53 > 0:25:57The only problem is, we're not even sure he's British.

0:25:57 > 0:26:01We're going to go for Tony Jacklin.

0:26:01 > 0:26:06Tony Jacklin. So, in the order they were given,

0:26:06 > 0:26:10Johnny and Gemma have submitted Ted Heath as the Prime Minister

0:26:10 > 0:26:12during the Winter of Discontent.

0:26:12 > 0:26:15Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said Ted Heath.

0:26:17 > 0:26:21Nope! I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer. Takes your total up to 300.

0:26:24 > 0:26:27OK, Penni and Jo have said the Prime Minister

0:26:27 > 0:26:30during the Winter of Discontent was James Callaghan.

0:26:30 > 0:26:32Let's see if that's right,

0:26:32 > 0:26:34and if it is, let's see how many people said it.

0:26:34 > 0:26:38There's your red line. Get below that, the head-to-head beckons.

0:26:40 > 0:26:42It's right! It's right!

0:26:42 > 0:26:44We have a correct answer!

0:26:44 > 0:26:46James Callaghan.

0:26:46 > 0:26:4815. Well done!

0:26:48 > 0:26:49CHEERING

0:26:49 > 0:26:51215 is your score.

0:26:53 > 0:26:56He was essentially the last person who was Prime Minister in the '70s

0:26:56 > 0:26:58who hadn't been mentioned yet.

0:26:58 > 0:27:02We've had every single other Prime Minister in the '70s apart from him.

0:27:02 > 0:27:03OK, now then.

0:27:03 > 0:27:07Leo and James have said Tony Jacklin

0:27:07 > 0:27:11as the male golfer who won the US Open in 1970.

0:27:11 > 0:27:15Tony Jacklin. Here's your red line. Let's see if Tony Jacklin's right.

0:27:17 > 0:27:19It's right! Very well done indeed.

0:27:21 > 0:27:23We have a result.

0:27:23 > 0:27:2414.

0:27:24 > 0:27:26APPLAUSE

0:27:26 > 0:27:28214 your total.

0:27:31 > 0:27:34Leo and James, thank you so much!

0:27:34 > 0:27:37And thank you to Tony Jacklin as well.

0:27:37 > 0:27:41Shall we go through the rest of this board? We better do it quickly!

0:27:41 > 0:27:44What's the country, the Cod Wars?

0:27:44 > 0:27:46- Iceland.- Yes.

0:27:46 > 0:27:48That's why the shop is called Iceland.

0:27:48 > 0:27:50Would have scored you 32.

0:27:50 > 0:27:53- The exiled cleric? - Ayatollah Khomeini.

0:27:53 > 0:27:56Yeah, who was around in all of your lifetimes. So no excuses there.

0:27:56 > 0:27:58Would have scored you 16.

0:27:58 > 0:28:02- Prime Minister of Rhodesia? - Ian Smith.- Yeah, well done.

0:28:02 > 0:28:0520 points. And the Chilean president?

0:28:05 > 0:28:07Salvador Allende.

0:28:07 > 0:28:10That's a tough answer - 4 points. The best answer on the board.

0:28:10 > 0:28:12But our 100 doing very well there.

0:28:12 > 0:28:16Thanks very much. So, eventually, at the end of our second round,

0:28:16 > 0:28:20the pair leaving us with a high score of 300, it's Johnny and Gemma.

0:28:20 > 0:28:24That was a really tough board. That was really, really tough.

0:28:24 > 0:28:29We put you through the wringer there. No shame in that high score.

0:28:29 > 0:28:30We'll see you again next time.

0:28:30 > 0:28:33We'll look forward to that, but thanks very much for playing.

0:28:33 > 0:28:35Johnny and Gemma.

0:28:35 > 0:28:36APPLAUSE

0:28:36 > 0:28:40For the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.

0:28:44 > 0:28:46Congratulations, Leo and James, Penni and Jo,

0:28:46 > 0:28:49you're now one step closer to the final and a chance to play for

0:28:49 > 0:28:53our jackpot, which currently stands at £4,250.

0:28:56 > 0:28:58We have to decide who's going to play for that money

0:28:58 > 0:29:00and to do that, you are now going to go head-to-head.

0:29:00 > 0:29:02You're now allowed to confer.

0:29:02 > 0:29:05The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.

0:29:05 > 0:29:09It's boys versus girls. Friends versus sisters.

0:29:09 > 0:29:12After that last round, this is going to be a breeze.

0:29:12 > 0:29:14Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.

0:29:19 > 0:29:23OK, here comes your first question, and it concerns...

0:29:28 > 0:29:31We're going to show you five visual clues to the titles

0:29:31 > 0:29:35of Take That Top 40 singles. Can you name the singles, please?

0:29:35 > 0:29:38Thanks very much. Let's reveal our five visual clues.

0:30:01 > 0:30:03Leo and James, you played best so far,

0:30:03 > 0:30:05so you will go first.

0:30:07 > 0:30:10THEY WHISPER

0:30:10 > 0:30:13B is It Only Takes A Minute.

0:30:13 > 0:30:14I don't know C at all.

0:30:19 > 0:30:21We do know a couple of them.

0:30:21 > 0:30:23The one we're going to go for is B.

0:30:23 > 0:30:27We believe that is It Only Takes A Minute.

0:30:27 > 0:30:29It Only Takes A Minute.

0:30:29 > 0:30:34Now then, Penni and Jo, talk us through the rest of the board.

0:30:34 > 0:30:37Right, we're going to say A is Patience.

0:30:37 > 0:30:40D is Pray.

0:30:40 > 0:30:43And E is possibly Relight My Fire.

0:30:43 > 0:30:47Out of those, what one do you want to go for?

0:30:47 > 0:30:48Patience?

0:30:48 > 0:30:51We're going to go A, Patience.

0:30:51 > 0:30:54OK, Patience.

0:30:54 > 0:30:56We have It Only Takes A Minute versus Patience.

0:30:56 > 0:30:58Leo and James said It Only Takes A Minute.

0:30:58 > 0:31:01Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said it.

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

0:31:10 > 0:31:1111.

0:31:13 > 0:31:16Penni and Jo, you've gone for Patience

0:31:16 > 0:31:21and you are saying that A is Patience.

0:31:21 > 0:31:24Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said that.

0:31:26 > 0:31:27It's right.

0:31:33 > 0:31:35Oh, look at that - 14.

0:31:36 > 0:31:38Three behind but very well done.

0:31:38 > 0:31:41Leo and James, after one question, you are up 1-0.

0:31:41 > 0:31:43That was a close one. We'll leave C till last.

0:31:43 > 0:31:45You were right about the other two.

0:31:54 > 0:31:57- Any ideas on C?- Pachyderm.

0:31:57 > 0:31:58It's not Pachyderm.

0:31:58 > 0:32:02The elephant is a clue but the flowers are also a clue.

0:32:02 > 0:32:06Oh, I know what it is. That's clever. Forget-me-nots.

0:32:11 > 0:32:13Well, here comes your second question. Penni and Jo,

0:32:13 > 0:32:15you have to win this one to stay in the game.

0:32:15 > 0:32:19You will get to answer it first, though. It concerns...

0:32:22 > 0:32:25- Well done. Worthy winners.- Richard.

0:32:25 > 0:32:28Going to show you five clues now to facts about Sir Alex Ferguson.

0:32:28 > 0:32:31Can you give us the most obscure answer from this board?

0:32:31 > 0:32:34OK, let's reveal our five clues and here they come.

0:32:57 > 0:32:59I'll read those all one last time.

0:33:17 > 0:33:19Penni and Jo go first.

0:33:21 > 0:33:25- Do you know any England managers? - No.

0:33:25 > 0:33:28There was one that was good but I don't know.

0:33:28 > 0:33:29- Right.- Is it Wayne Rooney?

0:33:29 > 0:33:32I was thinking Gareth Bale but he's too young, isn't he?

0:33:32 > 0:33:35- We'll go for...- Wayne Rooney. - Wayne Rooney.- OK.

0:33:35 > 0:33:39We don't know if that's right. The striker that Ferguson signed.

0:33:39 > 0:33:41OK, you're going to say Wayne Rooney.

0:33:41 > 0:33:44Leo and James, talk us through the rest of the board.

0:33:44 > 0:33:48We think we know them all. The top one we think is Aberdeen.

0:33:48 > 0:33:50Club he referred to as "noisy neighbours" is Man City.

0:33:50 > 0:33:54Assistant manager is Steve McClaren.

0:33:54 > 0:33:58But we're going to go with the team Man United drew with, West Brom.

0:33:58 > 0:34:03West Brom. So, we have Wayne Rooney and West Bromwich Albion.

0:34:03 > 0:34:05Penni and Jo, you've gone with Wayne Rooney.

0:34:05 > 0:34:08Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.

0:34:09 > 0:34:10It's right.

0:34:14 > 0:34:1632.

0:34:18 > 0:34:21Leo and James have gone with West Brom.

0:34:21 > 0:34:24Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said that.

0:34:26 > 0:34:27It's right.

0:34:27 > 0:34:31And if this goes below 32, you are straight through to the final.

0:34:31 > 0:34:33And you are! Very well done indeed.

0:34:37 > 0:34:43Leo and James, after two questions, straight through you go, 2-0.

0:34:43 > 0:34:47Well played, that was Fergie's 1,500th game in charge of Man United.

0:34:47 > 0:34:50His first game, he lost 2-0 to Oxford United.

0:34:50 > 0:34:54- That sort of result would get you sacked these days.- Yeah.

0:34:54 > 0:34:57You're right about Steve McClaren. Would have scored you 14.

0:34:57 > 0:35:01You're right about Man City as well. That would have scored you 51.

0:35:03 > 0:35:07And you were right about Aberdeen. That would have scored you 25 points.

0:35:07 > 0:35:10Very well done to anyone who got all five of those at home.

0:35:10 > 0:35:14Thanks, Richard. So, the pair leaving us at the end of the round,

0:35:14 > 0:35:16I'm afraid it's Penni and Jo.

0:35:16 > 0:35:20A great performance through the show. Great entertainment from you.

0:35:20 > 0:35:22And we get to see you next time.

0:35:22 > 0:35:23It would have been too sad

0:35:23 > 0:35:24if you'd only been here for one show.

0:35:24 > 0:35:27Thank you so much for playing. Penni and Jo. Great contestants.

0:35:27 > 0:35:30APPLAUSE

0:35:30 > 0:35:33For Leo and James, it's now time for our Pointless Final.

0:35:35 > 0:35:38Congratulations, Leo and James, you've seen off all the competition

0:35:38 > 0:35:42and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy. So very well done.

0:35:47 > 0:35:50You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot

0:35:50 > 0:35:53and that stands at £4,250.

0:35:58 > 0:36:01Wow, what a campaign it was to get to here.

0:36:01 > 0:36:04We'll never forget that Round Two in a hurry.

0:36:04 > 0:36:08So, yes, well done. 2-0 in the head-to-head. Scored 11 on each one.

0:36:08 > 0:36:11Ooh. Something going on there.

0:36:11 > 0:36:13What would you like to see come up in this round?

0:36:13 > 0:36:17- Same again, really. - Manchester United.- Yeah, basically.

0:36:17 > 0:36:20- Music and football. - Excellent.

0:36:20 > 0:36:22You get to choose your category and there are four options,

0:36:22 > 0:36:23and they are...

0:36:29 > 0:36:32Andrew Lloyd Webber Musicals.

0:36:32 > 0:36:35I think the only one I could take some reasonable guesses at

0:36:35 > 0:36:37- would be the London Underground. - Yeah.

0:36:37 > 0:36:40- But if you've got any others... - No, no. I've been there.

0:36:40 > 0:36:44- So, that's my best guess, really. - OK?- London Underground.- Richard.

0:36:44 > 0:36:47We'll give you three different options now.

0:36:47 > 0:36:50We're looking for any London underground station that includes

0:36:50 > 0:36:54the word "Hill" anywhere in its name, including as part of a longer word.

0:36:54 > 0:36:57Any London underground station that contains the word "Park."

0:36:57 > 0:36:59Or any station containing the word "Wood."

0:36:59 > 0:37:02So, Hill, Park, or Wood, and that's just the London underground,

0:37:02 > 0:37:05on the tube maps, so not the London Overground, Tramlink,

0:37:05 > 0:37:10Cable Car, National Rail Network, or DLR. Very, very best of luck.

0:37:10 > 0:37:13As always, you've got up to one minute to come up with

0:37:13 > 0:37:16three answers, and all you need to win that jackpot of £4,250

0:37:16 > 0:37:19is for just one of those answers to be pointless.

0:37:19 > 0:37:22Remember, the answers can come from any of these categories.

0:37:22 > 0:37:25How you spread them across the categories is down to you.

0:37:25 > 0:37:28They can all come from one or one from each. Entirely up to you.

0:37:28 > 0:37:30Are you ready?

0:37:30 > 0:37:34- Yep.- OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock. Your time starts now.

0:37:34 > 0:37:39OK. A couple of ones that stand out on Park are Regent's Park.

0:37:39 > 0:37:42- Hyde Park will be too obvious, I think.- Is Wood Green a station?

0:37:42 > 0:37:44We'll go for it, sounds familiar.

0:37:44 > 0:37:47Cos then I know St John's Wood, but again that's too popular.

0:37:47 > 0:37:51- Primrose Hill, possibly, for the top one?- Yeah.

0:37:51 > 0:37:54So, Hyde Park, no.

0:37:54 > 0:37:56- Hillside or something... - Hillside...

0:37:56 > 0:37:59I can't think of any other Hill.

0:37:59 > 0:38:02I'm trying to think of a Monopoly board.

0:38:02 > 0:38:05- But...nothing.- Mallory Park? - That's Leicestershire.

0:38:05 > 0:38:08- Fair enough.- Erm...

0:38:08 > 0:38:11I think that's about as good as we get. So...

0:38:11 > 0:38:14Primrose Hill, Regent's Park, and what did you say?

0:38:14 > 0:38:18- Wood Green?- Wood Green, sorry, yeah.

0:38:18 > 0:38:20- I think that's about as good as we're going to get.- Yeah.

0:38:23 > 0:38:25Ten seconds left.

0:38:25 > 0:38:28I know St John's... Something like St John's Hill...

0:38:28 > 0:38:31No, we'll go with Primrose Hill, Regent's Park and Wood Green.

0:38:33 > 0:38:37OK, that's your time up. I now need your three answers.

0:38:37 > 0:38:41OK, I think we're going to go for Hill will be Primrose Hill.

0:38:41 > 0:38:45- Primrose Hill.- We'll try Regent's Park.- Regent's Park.

0:38:45 > 0:38:48- And we'll try Wood Green. - Wood Green.

0:38:48 > 0:38:51OK, of those, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?

0:38:51 > 0:38:54- Probably Wood Green, isn't it? - We'll say Wood Green.

0:38:54 > 0:38:57OK, we'll put that last. Least likely to be pointless?

0:38:57 > 0:38:59I'd say Regent's Park.

0:38:59 > 0:39:03OK, let's pop those up on the board in that order, and here they are.

0:39:03 > 0:39:07We've got Regent's Park, Primrose Hill, Wood Green.

0:39:07 > 0:39:10Best of luck. Your first answer was Regent's Park. This was the one

0:39:10 > 0:39:13you thought was probably least likely to be pointless.

0:39:13 > 0:39:15Remember, only one of these has to be pointless

0:39:15 > 0:39:17for you to win that jackpot.

0:39:17 > 0:39:19Leo, what would you do with your split of that?

0:39:19 > 0:39:23Lot of things going through my mind, but I think it would have to be...

0:39:23 > 0:39:26I've always wanted to go to Vegas and just gamble it away.

0:39:26 > 0:39:30- That would be it. A trip to Vegas.- OK. James?

0:39:30 > 0:39:33Luckily for Leo, a friend of mine's getting married next year

0:39:33 > 0:39:36and his stag party's going to be in Vegas,

0:39:36 > 0:39:38so, you know, he could always come along to that.

0:39:38 > 0:39:42And the other half would probably go to, well, family holiday.

0:39:42 > 0:39:46Very good. OK, best of luck. Your first answer - Regent's Park.

0:39:46 > 0:39:51This is a London underground station containing the word "Park."

0:39:51 > 0:39:53Let's find out if that's right, and if it is, let's find out

0:39:53 > 0:39:56if it's pointless. If it is, it will win you £4,250.

0:39:56 > 0:39:58How many people said Regent's Park?

0:40:00 > 0:40:02Well, it's right.

0:40:02 > 0:40:07If this goes all the way down to the bottom, you leave here with £4,250.

0:40:07 > 0:40:10Down it goes, through the 30s, through the 20s, into the teens...

0:40:10 > 0:40:13Oh, not quite into single figures.

0:40:16 > 0:40:20I would say - obviously I know nothing, remember that - but

0:40:20 > 0:40:24I would say Regent's Park probably one of the most famous parks.

0:40:24 > 0:40:28Of all the London underground stations. Only 12 people got it.

0:40:28 > 0:40:31I think that's a good sign. Anyway, it's not a pointless answer,

0:40:31 > 0:40:33so we only have two more shots at today's jackpot.

0:40:33 > 0:40:36Your second answer was Primrose Hill. This, of course,

0:40:36 > 0:40:38being an underground station with the word Hill in it.

0:40:38 > 0:40:40It has to be correct then it has to be pointless

0:40:40 > 0:40:42for you to win the jackpot.

0:40:42 > 0:40:45So, for £4,250, let's see how many people said Primrose Hill.

0:40:48 > 0:40:50No, bad luck.

0:40:50 > 0:40:52Not an underground station.

0:40:52 > 0:40:56Only one more chance to win today's jackpot. Everything is riding

0:40:56 > 0:40:59on your third and final answer, which is Wood Green.

0:40:59 > 0:41:02This was the answer you thought you had most faith in

0:41:02 > 0:41:05when it came to being pointless.

0:41:05 > 0:41:09If it is pointless, it will win you £4,250.

0:41:09 > 0:41:11Let's see how many people said Wood Green.

0:41:15 > 0:41:16It's right.

0:41:16 > 0:41:20Your first answer, Regent's Park, took us down to 12.

0:41:20 > 0:41:24Your second answer, Primrose Hill, was an incorrect answer.

0:41:24 > 0:41:27Oh! 27. Bad luck.

0:41:31 > 0:41:33That was quite a tough category.

0:41:33 > 0:41:36That minute really flew by, not really long enough.

0:41:36 > 0:41:38Unfortunately, you didn't manage to find that all-important

0:41:38 > 0:41:41pointless answer, which means you don't win today's jackpot of £4,250.

0:41:41 > 0:41:43That will roll over onto the next show.

0:41:43 > 0:41:45But we've really enjoyed having you on the show

0:41:45 > 0:41:48and you've done incredibly well. And you get to take home

0:41:48 > 0:41:50a Pointless trophy each so very well done.

0:41:53 > 0:41:57Well played, guys. Primrose Hill, there's no tube station there.

0:41:57 > 0:41:59Wood Green actually the highest scorer of any of the ones

0:41:59 > 0:42:02with Wood in it. St John's Wood was second.

0:42:02 > 0:42:05Green Park was the biggest scorer of all. Would have scored you 41.

0:42:12 > 0:42:13Also could have had Northwood Hills.

0:42:13 > 0:42:16Not sure I know Northwood Hills.

0:42:16 > 0:42:18Let's take a look at the next one. This is Park.

0:42:23 > 0:42:28Also could have had Belsize Park, Moor Park, Ravenscourt Park

0:42:28 > 0:42:30or Tufnell Park.

0:42:30 > 0:42:33And containing the word Wood, there's only three...

0:42:36 > 0:42:40- Very well done if you said any of those.- Thanks very much indeed.
