CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:00:180:00:21

Thank you very much, indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong

0:00:210:00:23

and welcome to Pointless, the show that makes big winners

0:00:230:00:26

out of the lowest scorers.

0:00:260:00:27

Let's meet today's players.

0:00:270:00:29

APPLAUSE

0:00:290:00:31

-And couple number one.

-Hi, there. I'm Michael.

0:00:330:00:36

This is my wife, Rachel, and we're from south-west London.

0:00:360:00:38

-Couple number two.

-Hi, I'm Hannah and this is my little brother, Adam,

0:00:380:00:42

and we're from Stirling.

0:00:420:00:43

-Couple number three.

-Hello, my name's Dave. This is Barry.

0:00:430:00:45

We're friends and work colleagues from Liverpool.

0:00:450:00:48

And, finally, couple number four.

0:00:480:00:49

Hi, I'm Patrick. This is Geoffrey.

0:00:490:00:51

He's my friend and we're from Nottingham.

0:00:510:00:53

And these are today's contestants.

0:00:530:00:55

-APPLAUSE

-Thanks very much, all of you. We'll find out more about you throughout

0:00:550:00:59

the show, so that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.

0:00:590:01:02

A man so clever that this year, Stephen Hawking,

0:01:020:01:04

Brian Cox, Mensa and NATO are leading

0:01:040:01:06

an international fact-finding mission to him.

0:01:060:01:09

-It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.

-Hiya.

0:01:090:01:12

APPLAUSE Hi, everybody.

0:01:120:01:14

-Good afternoon.

-Good afternoon.

-Are you well?

-I am well, thank you.

0:01:170:01:19

-Excellent. Our jackpot is building up quite nicely, isn't it?

-Yes.

0:01:190:01:22

We've given it away a whole spate of times and, now, just building

0:01:220:01:25

-up gradually.

-I thought we were going to give it away last time.

0:01:250:01:28

-I was convinced we were going to.

-It was pretty close, wasn't it?

0:01:280:01:31

-They were quite unlucky, weren't they?

-They were.

0:01:310:01:33

-But they didn't get it.

-Hey-hey!

0:01:330:01:35

-That's good news.

-Unfortunately for them, cos they were lovely.

0:01:350:01:38

Oh, they were lovely. But...

0:01:380:01:39

Hey-hey! But spare a thought for them.

0:01:390:01:41

-They'd come all this way and didn't win.

-They were absolutely lovely

0:01:410:01:44

-and they were going to give the money to charity.

-They were?

0:01:440:01:47

There were delightful people. But...hey!

0:01:470:01:49

-APPLAUSE

-Hey-hey!

0:01:490:01:51

It's only Hannah and Adam back from that show.

0:01:510:01:53

They'll be hoping to go one better this time. They got through to the head-to-head last time.

0:01:530:01:57

A very, very strong pair, so best of luck against them.

0:01:570:02:00

-Very, very strong moustache work on podium four.

-Yes.

0:02:000:02:03

-I was impressed by that. Very strong.

-More of that later,

0:02:030:02:06

-I suspect.

-I hope so. Thanks very much, indeed, Richard.

0:02:060:02:08

All our questions on Pointless have been asked to 100 people before

0:02:080:02:11

the show. The aim of the game is to find a pointless answer.

0:02:110:02:14

That's an answer that none of our 100 people gave.

0:02:140:02:16

And each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.

0:02:160:02:19

Now Caroline and Eleanor didn't win the jackpot last time,

0:02:190:02:22

so we add another £1,000 to that, so today's jackpot starts off

0:02:220:02:24

at a whopping £7,500.

0:02:240:02:26

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:02:260:02:29

Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.

0:02:300:02:33

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:02:330:02:34

The pair with the highest score at the end of the round will be

0:02:360:02:39

eliminated. And, remember, there is to be no conferring

0:02:390:02:42

during the round itself.

0:02:420:02:43

Our first category today is...

0:02:430:02:46

The World Cup. OK.

0:02:490:02:50

Patrick, looking in pain.

0:02:500:02:52

Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,

0:02:520:02:55

who's going to go second?

0:02:550:02:57

And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:02:570:03:00

OK. Let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.

0:03:010:03:04

We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...

0:03:040:03:07

..as they could.

0:03:130:03:15

I'll just read that again.

0:03:150:03:16

-Richard.

-So it's football but a little bit of geographical knowledge

0:03:210:03:24

might help you, as well.

0:03:240:03:25

We're looking for any town or city which hosted any World Cup game

0:03:250:03:28

in the 1966 World Cup finals, that was in England,

0:03:280:03:32

the 1986 World Cup finals, that was in Mexico,

0:03:320:03:35

or the 2006 World Cup finals and that was in Germany.

0:03:350:03:38

So the England, 1966, World Cup,

0:03:380:03:41

the Mexico, 1986,

0:03:410:03:42

or the Germany, 2006.

0:03:420:03:44

Any town or city that hosted a game.

0:03:440:03:47

Thanks very much, indeed. Rachel and Michael,

0:03:470:03:49

you all drew lots before the show and today you are going to go first.

0:03:490:03:53

-Rachel, Welcome.

-Thank you.

0:03:530:03:55

-First off, how do we feel about this question?

-Nightmare topic.

0:03:550:03:58

-Oh, no, really?

-Football and geography combined - ahh!

0:03:580:04:01

-Oh, really?

-Yep.

-Well, let's forget

0:04:010:04:02

about that for a second. What do you do, Rachel?

0:04:020:04:05

I work for an education charity in marketing and fundraising.

0:04:050:04:08

Excellent. And what do you like getting up to in your spare time?

0:04:080:04:11

I'm quite a foodie.

0:04:110:04:12

I do quite a lot of cooking and baking and I'm quite crafty.

0:04:120:04:15

I do crochet and other crafts. So quite creative.

0:04:150:04:18

What's your signature dish, Rachel?

0:04:180:04:21

Ooh, well,

0:04:210:04:22

-I'm quite famous for making jam.

-Really?

0:04:220:04:25

-Yeah, I make jam and chutney, usually for a lot of my friends.

-Mm.

0:04:250:04:28

When you say famous...

0:04:280:04:30

It's like the seven degrees of Rachel's jam.

0:04:300:04:33

Probably someone in here has had my jam.

0:04:330:04:35

OK!

0:04:350:04:36

AUDIENCE LAUGHS

0:04:360:04:38

Can I just put this to the test? Anyone had any of Rachel's jam?

0:04:380:04:41

Anyone had any of Rachel's jam? There's a few yeses.

0:04:410:04:44

-I've had a lot of jam.

-You know, he's had it! He's had it!

0:04:440:04:47

There you are, perfect! Yeah, exactly. OK, now then, Rachel.

0:04:470:04:49

-World Cup host cities.

-Yes.

0:04:490:04:52

I really have no idea so I'm going to have a guess for 2006.

0:04:520:04:56

You said was in Germany,

0:04:560:04:58

so I'm going to go for Hamburg.

0:04:580:05:00

Hamburg, says Rachel. Hamburg sounds reasonable enough.

0:05:000:05:02

Let's see if it's right and how many people said it, if it is.

0:05:020:05:06

Look at that, Rachel.

0:05:070:05:08

Still going down. Still going down.

0:05:120:05:14

13, well done, Rachel. 13.

0:05:140:05:16

Yeah, I'll take that.

0:05:160:05:17

A good start to the game, well done.

0:05:170:05:19

APPLAUSE

0:05:190:05:20

Very well played, Rachel. That's a nice start, isn't it?

0:05:220:05:24

Nice to get that out of the way.

0:05:240:05:25

Yeah, the host of the quarterfinal between Italy and Ukraine.

0:05:250:05:28

Now then, Hannah, welcome back.

0:05:280:05:30

-So last time, head-to-head.

-Yeah.

0:05:300:05:32

You covered yourselves in glory. We had a pointless answer from you.

0:05:320:05:35

Perhaps I should explain to all the other contestants.

0:05:350:05:38

-£250 on that jackpot came from Hannah.

-Yup.

0:05:380:05:41

So we have her to thank, whoever takes that away.

0:05:410:05:43

Oh, I told them all that they owe me £250. If they win.

0:05:430:05:47

-Oh, you've told them that already?

-Yeah.

-Oh, I see. OK, fair enough.

0:05:470:05:50

Now then, Hannah, World Cup.

0:05:500:05:53

-How do we feel about that?

-Um...

0:05:530:05:54

You and Adam both look pretty confident.

0:05:540:05:56

Well, I'm very glad that Richard told us where they were held

0:05:560:06:01

-because, otherwise, I wouldn't have had a clue.

-Right.

0:06:010:06:03

I was going to have a punt on a Mexican city.

0:06:030:06:06

But I don't know if it's in Mexico or not.

0:06:070:06:10

-LAUGHTER

-So...

-Ah.

-I guarantee, if it's a Mexican city,

0:06:100:06:13

it will be in Mexico.

0:06:130:06:14

-LAUGHTER

-Yeah. Mm.

-Yeah.

0:06:140:06:16

So, I think, I'm going to play it a little bit safe

0:06:160:06:19

and say Dusseldorf.

0:06:190:06:21

-For 2006.

-OK, phew, OK.

0:06:210:06:23

-I was going to say that I don't think that's in Mexico.

-No.

0:06:230:06:26

-LAUGHTER

-We'll just find out, is that right?

0:06:260:06:28

Let's see if it's right and how many people said it.

0:06:280:06:30

Oh, no, Hannah!

0:06:320:06:35

Oh, I'm sorry.

0:06:350:06:36

I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer.

0:06:370:06:39

Scores you 100 points.

0:06:390:06:41

Sorry, Hannah. It is in Germany.

0:06:410:06:43

It's not a bad guess, at all.

0:06:430:06:44

I suspect it might not be the last 100 score we get in this round.

0:06:440:06:48

Thanks, Richard. Now then, Dave.

0:06:480:06:50

Welcome to the show. What do you do, Dave?

0:06:500:06:53

I work in a hospital. I do stocks

0:06:530:06:55

and deliveries and orders.

0:06:550:06:57

Which department are you in charge of? Which bit do you look after?

0:06:570:07:00

-I'm in catering.

-Catering.

0:07:000:07:01

-So all the deliveries come in...

-Through me.

-Mm.

0:07:010:07:04

What's the tastiest thing you see

0:07:040:07:07

delivered in bulk into the hospital?

0:07:070:07:09

-Oh, chips.

-Chips?

-Yeah.

0:07:090:07:11

But, presumably, they come in frozen so you're never going to go, "Mmm".

0:07:110:07:14

-No, no, chilled.

-Oh, are they just chilled?

0:07:140:07:17

So you could, if you wanted, just break into them and just, "Mm"?

0:07:170:07:20

I think I'd like to cook them first.

0:07:200:07:23

LAUGHTER

0:07:230:07:24

You didn't say they weren't cooked.

0:07:240:07:27

OK, now then, Dave.

0:07:270:07:29

I'm guessing you might have some good answers for this.

0:07:290:07:32

I'll go for the 1986 World Cup in Mexico

0:07:320:07:36

-and say Guadalajara.

-Guadalajara, says Dave.

0:07:360:07:39

Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.

0:07:390:07:43

It's right.

0:07:440:07:45

Well, 13 is our lowest score. So far, you've passed that.

0:07:490:07:51

Guadalajara, 1.

0:07:510:07:53

-APPLAUSE

-Very well done, indeed.

0:07:530:07:55

Just one away from pointless there, Dave.

0:07:550:07:57

But that's a great answer.

0:07:570:07:59

That's a terrific answer. Well played. Northern Ireland played

0:08:000:08:03

their final match in Guadalajara against Brazil.

0:08:030:08:05

They also had the semifinals there that Germany won.

0:08:050:08:07

-Thanks, Richard. And now, Patrick.

-Hi.

0:08:070:08:10

Patrick, I'm going to be honest, there was a look of somewhere

0:08:100:08:13

between terror and agony on your face

0:08:130:08:15

when this round came up.

0:08:150:08:18

-Not a fan?

-Um...I know very little

0:08:180:08:21

about the World Cup and football.

0:08:210:08:23

I could guess at some cities.

0:08:230:08:26

Before you do that, Patrick, tell us a bit about yourself.

0:08:260:08:28

-What do you do, to start with?

-I'm a retired psychology teacher.

0:08:280:08:31

Fascinating. And what did you do in your spare time, what do you do?

0:08:310:08:34

-What do you fill your retirement with?

-I have an allotment.

-Yeah.

0:08:340:08:38

But my main passion is amateur dramatics.

0:08:380:08:40

Ah. Are you working on anything at the moment?

0:08:400:08:42

I'm trying to get the committee to go for

0:08:420:08:46

The Importance Of Being Earnest, cross-dressed.

0:08:460:08:49

LAUGHTER

0:08:490:08:51

OK. Which is the part you have your eye on?

0:08:510:08:54

-Miss Prism.

-Miss Prism?

0:08:540:08:56

Oh, that'd be nice.

0:08:560:08:58

What are you going to go for?

0:08:580:09:00

-It's going to be largely geography...

-It's going to be geography.

0:09:000:09:03

-..rather than an intimate knowledge of the match.

-I'm going to go for a city

0:09:030:09:06

where I know there are football teams play there.

0:09:060:09:09

-So I'll go for Munich.

-Munich?

0:09:090:09:11

Munich, says Patrick. Let's hear if that's right.

0:09:110:09:13

If it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Munich.

0:09:130:09:16

It's right.

0:09:180:09:20

28, very well done, Patrick. Good enough.

0:09:230:09:26

APPLAUSE

0:09:260:09:28

Yeah, the Allianz Arena in Munich, which was built for that World Cup.

0:09:320:09:36

Thank you. We're halfway through the round. Let's look at those scores.

0:09:360:09:39

1, the best score of that pass, Dave. Very well done to you.

0:09:390:09:42

That puts Barry in a very comfortable position at this stage.

0:09:420:09:45

Then up to 13, where we find Rachel and Michael. Very well done.

0:09:450:09:48

Up to 28 where we find Patrick and Geoff and then, Hannah,

0:09:480:09:50

I'm sorry, not Dusseldorf, why on earth not?

0:09:500:09:52

I've no idea but it scored you 100 points.

0:09:520:09:55

Adam, I have a feeling you are the person

0:09:550:09:57

to dig Hannah out of this hole. Good luck with that.

0:09:570:10:00

Back down the line now. Second players step up to the podium.

0:10:000:10:03

OK, Geoff.

0:10:050:10:07

Welcome. Great to have you here.

0:10:070:10:09

Explain your fantastic beard and moustache.

0:10:090:10:11

-I mean, I don't know why "explain", so much, but...

-It's here.

0:10:110:10:15

It's, um...basically,

0:10:150:10:17

it's because as I'm thinning at the back,

0:10:170:10:19

I wanted to play around with something.

0:10:190:10:21

Can't do the ridiculous hairstyles,

0:10:210:10:24

-so go with the ridiculous facial hair.

-It's a very good look.

0:10:240:10:26

-Thank you.

-It's a

-good look. It is terrific, isn't it?

0:10:260:10:29

-Good side work, as well.

-It's very good.

-So well done.

0:10:290:10:31

You are to be congratulated on that, Geoff. There you are, you're on 28.

0:10:310:10:34

-The high score is Adam and Hannah on 100.

-Right.

0:10:340:10:36

So 71 or less keeps you from becoming the new high scorers.

0:10:360:10:39

Yes.

0:10:390:10:41

Not so hot on this subject.

0:10:410:10:42

-OK, so, again, it's going to be more geography...

-Geography, yes.

0:10:420:10:45

-..and a bit of a stab in the dark.

-Yes.

0:10:450:10:48

How is your Mexican geography?

0:10:480:10:50

-Uh...appalling.

-OK.

-So I'm going to go, I think...

0:10:500:10:53

for...

0:10:530:10:55

Germany, 2006 and it was, um...

0:10:550:10:59

Cologne.

0:10:590:11:00

Cologne, says Geoff. Cologne.

0:11:000:11:03

Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said Cologne.

0:11:030:11:06

There's your red line.

0:11:060:11:09

It's right.

0:11:090:11:11

You're through.

0:11:110:11:12

That's a very nice low score. Look at that, 4, Geoff.

0:11:150:11:18

-APPLAUSE

-Second lowest score of the round, so far.

0:11:180:11:20

32, your total.

0:11:200:11:22

Well played, Geoff. The RheinEnergie stadium in Cologne.

0:11:250:11:27

Which, again, was rebuilt for the World Cup.

0:11:270:11:30

It wasn't completely built for the World Cup.

0:11:300:11:32

Thanks, Richard.

0:11:320:11:34

Barry.

0:11:340:11:35

Welcome to the show. What do you do, Barry?

0:11:350:11:37

Well, Dave explained. I work with Dave in the store.

0:11:370:11:40

-Oh, right, you work there together.

-..in the stores.

0:11:400:11:42

But, unlike Dave, I eat raw chips.

0:11:420:11:44

-LAUGHTER

-Yeah! I mean, you would.

0:11:440:11:46

You've got to.

0:11:460:11:47

LAUGHTER

0:11:470:11:49

What are your interests, aside from the catering?

0:11:490:11:52

Food, drink. I love films.

0:11:520:11:55

-Sport.

-Sport?

-Yeah, yeah. I like my football.

0:11:560:12:00

OK. Well, listen, Dave's done so well - 1 is what he scored.

0:12:000:12:03

Do you think you can equal or better his score?

0:12:030:12:05

I'm going to play it exceedingly safe

0:12:050:12:07

and say Liverpool.

0:12:070:12:09

ALEXANDER LAUGHS

0:12:090:12:11

Liverpool, says Barry. Let's see how safe that is.

0:12:110:12:15

You want to be scoring 98 or less to remain in the game.

0:12:150:12:19

Let's see if that's right, Liverpool.

0:12:190:12:21

And if it is, let's see how many people said it.

0:12:210:12:23

There's your red line.

0:12:230:12:25

There we are.

0:12:260:12:27

-22.

-APPLAUSE

0:12:320:12:35

Takes your total up to 23. Not that safe, decent answer.

0:12:370:12:41

Yeah, well played, Barry.

0:12:410:12:42

I'd have been disappointed if you hadn't said Liverpool.

0:12:420:12:44

Lots of games up at Goodison Park, the Everton ground.

0:12:440:12:47

Thanks very much indeed, Richard. Now, Adam, welcome back.

0:12:470:12:50

Welcome back. Now, I'm going to be honest, Adam, I don't think you...

0:12:500:12:53

You personally didn't cover yourself in glory last time.

0:12:530:12:56

-No. Not a little bit.

-This time, however, this is your time to shine.

0:12:560:13:00

It's basically between you and Michael.

0:13:000:13:02

There's a scenario in which you could stay with us

0:13:020:13:05

and it is where Michael scores 100 and you score 12 or less.

0:13:050:13:08

Well, I'm just trying to think of all the big football teams

0:13:080:13:11

in these countries.

0:13:110:13:13

And I think I'm going to go for Stuttgart.

0:13:130:13:15

Stuttgart. OK, Stuttgart.

0:13:150:13:17

No red line for you, you're the high scorers.

0:13:170:13:19

But let's see how many of our 100 people said Stuttgart.

0:13:190:13:22

It's right.

0:13:240:13:25

That's what it needed to be, Adam, very well done. You've scored 4.

0:13:310:13:34

Takes your total up to 104.

0:13:340:13:35

For now, you are still potentially in the game.

0:13:350:13:38

That's very well played, Adam, yeah, terrific answer,

0:13:380:13:41

the Gottlieb Daimler Stadion.

0:13:410:13:42

-It's got the biggest video screens in Europe.

-Wow.

-Wow.

-Thanks, Richard.

0:13:420:13:47

-Now, Michael, hello. Welcome.

-Thank you.

-Welcome to the show,

0:13:470:13:50

from south west London. What do you do, Michael?

0:13:500:13:53

I work in sales and marketing

0:13:530:13:55

for various sponsorship and events companies.

0:13:550:13:58

-And what are your hobbies?

-I watch a lot of sport.

0:13:580:14:02

I also like to write.

0:14:020:14:04

Rachel and I write and present a film quiz together,

0:14:040:14:07

so film might be...

0:14:070:14:09

So, film would be a very strong...

0:14:090:14:10

I probably shouldn't have said that, should I?

0:14:100:14:12

We're going to look particularly stupid

0:14:120:14:14

-if we go out on a film question.

-Where do you do your quiz?

0:14:140:14:16

We do it at the IMAX in central London.

0:14:160:14:18

That's quite highbrow, I imagine.

0:14:180:14:20

Is it mainly more arthouse film or is it all-encompassing?

0:14:200:14:24

I try to mix it up.

0:14:240:14:26

There's a lot of film buffs there,

0:14:260:14:27

so they want more high-end things.

0:14:270:14:29

Oh, you are going to be good, aren't you?

0:14:290:14:31

-So, Michael...

-Yes.

-..World Cups '66, '86, 2006.

0:14:310:14:36

I seem to remember the World Cup itself

0:14:360:14:38

was stolen in 1966, wasn't it?

0:14:380:14:40

Found under a bush by a dog called Pickles.

0:14:410:14:43

-He is going to be very good, isn't he?

-We'll see, shall we?

0:14:450:14:48

-OK, yeah, we'll see, we'll see.

-Since Rachel has given us such a...

0:14:480:14:52

..good first answer, I think I'm going to play it relatively safe

0:14:530:14:56

and go for an English ground.

0:14:560:14:58

And I'm going to say Middlesbrough.

0:14:580:15:00

Middlesbrough says Michael, Middlesbrough.

0:15:000:15:03

Now, 90 or less will see you into the next round.

0:15:030:15:05

There's your red line.

0:15:050:15:06

Let's see how many of our 100 people said Middlesbrough.

0:15:060:15:09

It's right and you're through, very well done indeed, Michael.

0:15:110:15:14

Still going down.

0:15:160:15:18

4 again.

0:15:180:15:19

APPLAUSE

0:15:190:15:21

17, the lowest total of the whole round.

0:15:210:15:24

Very well done, Michael and Rachel. 17.

0:15:240:15:26

Well played, Michael, that's a terrific answer.

0:15:260:15:29

North Korea played a few of their games

0:15:290:15:31

at Ayresome Park in Middlesbrough. Had a very good World Cup.

0:15:310:15:33

Now, all of the pointless answers are Mexican cities.

0:15:330:15:36

So, with apologies for my pronunciation,

0:15:360:15:39

let's take a look at what they were.

0:15:390:15:41

You could have had Irapuato. You could have had Monterrey.

0:15:410:15:44

You could have had Nezahualcoyotl.

0:15:440:15:48

I can't believe no-one said that!

0:15:480:15:49

I would have thought that would be a better answer than Liverpool.

0:15:510:15:54

Queretaro, San Nicolas De Los Garza and Toluca.

0:15:540:15:57

All of those were pointless answers.

0:15:570:15:59

Low-scoring answers, there's a couple more Mexican ones,

0:15:590:16:01

Guadalajara, of course, scored 1, which is a terrific answer.

0:16:010:16:05

But you also could have had Leon and Puebla.

0:16:050:16:08

Also, in Germany you could have had Kaiserslautern and Gelsenkirchen

0:16:080:16:12

and Nuremberg.

0:16:120:16:13

You could have had Sunderland, that would have scored you one point,

0:16:130:16:16

games held at Roker Park. Leipzig would have scored you one.

0:16:160:16:19

Hanover would have scored two, you would have got six for Dortmund.

0:16:190:16:22

Dortmund would have been a better answer than Dusseldorf,

0:16:220:16:24

more of a footballing city.

0:16:240:16:26

Frankfurt, 7, Sheffield, 11, that was a hell of a game.

0:16:260:16:29

You would have got 20 points for Mexico City, 22 for Birmingham.

0:16:290:16:33

23 for Berlin. Let's take a look at the top three answers.

0:16:330:16:36

We've seen one of them -

0:16:380:16:40

Munich, there on 28. Then Manchester, 37 and London on 55.

0:16:400:16:44

London actually wouldn't have been the worst answer in the world

0:16:440:16:47

compared to 100. But that's the top answer.

0:16:470:16:50

Thanks very much indeed, Richard.

0:16:500:16:51

At the end of our first round, the pair we're sending home

0:16:510:16:54

with their high score of 104, our only returning pair,

0:16:540:16:56

it's Hannah and Adam.

0:16:560:16:58

You were our low scorers going into the head-to-head last time.

0:16:580:17:00

This time, Round One. That was valiantly done, Adam,

0:17:000:17:03

but I'm afraid this is where we have to say goodbye.

0:17:030:17:05

Hannah, Adam, it's been great having you on the show.

0:17:050:17:08

thanks so much for playing, but goodbye.

0:17:080:17:10

APPLAUSE

0:17:100:17:13

For the remaining three pairs, it's time for Round Two.

0:17:130:17:16

So, three pairs remain. Obviously, at the end of this round,

0:17:200:17:23

we have to say goodbye to another pair.

0:17:230:17:25

Patrick, well done, you made it.

0:17:250:17:27

You made it through football.

0:17:270:17:29

It was all absolutely fine and with some credit, that was good.

0:17:290:17:31

Barry and Dave, well done.

0:17:310:17:33

Dave, lowest score of the round, so well done to you.

0:17:330:17:35

And, Rachel and Michael, very well done, lowest altogether score.

0:17:350:17:38

Best of luck to all three pairs. Our category for around two is...

0:17:380:17:43

Medicine.

0:17:430:17:44

Medicine. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,

0:17:440:17:47

who's going to go second?

0:17:470:17:49

And, whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.

0:17:490:17:52

OK. And the question concerns...

0:17:540:17:56

Whose medical history?

0:18:010:18:02

RICHARD CHUCKLES

0:18:020:18:04

The medical history of Hannah and Adam who just went out.

0:18:040:18:07

They don't know about it, don't tell them. No, on each pass,

0:18:070:18:09

we're going to show you six clues to facts about medical history.

0:18:090:18:12

About people or places or events in medical history,

0:18:120:18:14

you just need to give us the most obscure answer you can, please.

0:18:140:18:17

There's going to be 12 in all, so very best of luck.

0:18:170:18:19

OK, thanks very much.

0:18:190:18:20

We're looking for the people and events in medical history

0:18:200:18:23

described by these clues. And here is our first board.

0:18:230:18:26

HE READS CLUES

0:18:260:18:29

I'll read those all again.

0:18:540:18:55

-Michael.

-Yes.

-How do we find this medical history board?

0:19:230:19:27

Not good at all.

0:19:270:19:29

Looking at the board...

0:19:300:19:32

there's only one that I know and probably two or three that

0:19:320:19:35

I could hazard a guess at.

0:19:350:19:38

So, luckily, we're going first.

0:19:380:19:40

So I'll play it safe and say the medical instrument used to listen

0:19:410:19:45

to sounds within the body is a stethoscope.

0:19:450:19:47

A stethoscope, says Michael.

0:19:470:19:48

Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many people said.

0:19:480:19:51

It's right.

0:19:540:19:55

Oh, you're under... Oh, not quite under 50. 54.

0:19:560:19:59

APPLAUSE

0:19:590:20:02

54. Not bad. A lot better than 100.

0:20:020:20:05

It is a lot better than 100, isn't it?

0:20:050:20:07

It's a tough board, isn't it?

0:20:070:20:08

Thank you. Now, Barry.

0:20:080:20:10

Barry, how are you feeling?

0:20:120:20:14

Terrible. But the first test-tube baby was 1974, I think.

0:20:140:20:18

OK. So you're going to say the 1970s.

0:20:200:20:22

Let's see if that's right.

0:20:220:20:23

The decade of the first test-tube baby.

0:20:230:20:25

How many people said the '70s?

0:20:250:20:27

It's right, Barry.

0:20:290:20:30

You've passed 54.

0:20:320:20:33

21. Very respectable indeed. Decent score.

0:20:350:20:38

Yeah, slightly later in the '70s, but it was the '70s

0:20:420:20:44

and since then there's been over five million babies born worldwide

0:20:440:20:47

by similar methods.

0:20:470:20:49

-Thanks, Richard. Now, Patrick...

-Yes.

0:20:490:20:51

-Are you on safer ground here, do you think?

-Well, there's at least two

0:20:510:20:54

-that I do know.

-Do you want to talk us through the ones you know

0:20:540:20:57

and maybe do a bit of thinking out loud for the ones you don't?

0:20:570:21:00

Well, the first human heart transplant was in South Africa.

0:21:000:21:03

The naval surgeon recommended that for rickets. Erm...

0:21:030:21:08

Jonas Salk...

0:21:100:21:12

Looking at the date, it might have been TB, tuberculosis.

0:21:120:21:15

But I wouldn't like to guess that and the first one I have no idea,

0:21:150:21:17

so I will go with rickets.

0:21:170:21:20

You're going to say rickets. James Lind.

0:21:200:21:23

Let's see that's right, rickets, and if it is,

0:21:230:21:25

let's see how many of our 100 people said it.

0:21:250:21:27

Oh, Patrick...

0:21:300:21:31

I'm afraid rickets is an incorrect answer,

0:21:310:21:33

which scores you the maximum of 100 points.

0:21:330:21:36

Patrick, I'm sure you know this one,

0:21:360:21:37

just getting your vitamins mixed up there.

0:21:370:21:39

Rickets would be vitamin D deficiency,

0:21:390:21:41

this is vitamin C and it's scurvy.

0:21:410:21:43

That would have scored you 48 points.

0:21:440:21:47

Now, let's go with the first human heart transplant,

0:21:480:21:51

you were absolutely right, it was in South Africa.

0:21:510:21:53

Would have been a good scorer for you, as well.

0:21:530:21:55

Would have scored you 28 points.

0:21:550:21:57

Would have been a very good thing to go for.

0:21:570:21:59

Jonas Salk developed the polio vaccine. Would have scored 31.

0:21:590:22:02

The physician in Soho. Do you know that one? It's the name of a pub now,

0:22:020:22:06

very near the outbreak.

0:22:060:22:08

-John Snow.

-Oh, it's Broadwick Street.

-Would have scored you 2 points.

0:22:090:22:13

How funny. John Snow. Thank you.

0:22:130:22:16

We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at those scores.

0:22:160:22:19

21, Barry. Very well done.

0:22:190:22:20

That puts you and Dave in a strong position at this stage.

0:22:200:22:23

Then up to 54 where we find Michael and Rachel. Then, Patrick, bad luck.

0:22:230:22:28

Yes, 100 points for you there.

0:22:280:22:29

Geoff, who knows what the next board is going to be like,

0:22:290:22:32

but you'll have first dive into it, so perhaps if you find a nice

0:22:320:22:35

low score you may do something that keeps you in the game.

0:22:350:22:38

Best of luck with that. We're going to come back down the line.

0:22:380:22:40

Can the second players please step up to the podium?

0:22:400:22:44

OK, let's put six more clues up on the board. Here they come...

0:22:440:22:48

I'll read all of those again.

0:23:160:23:18

-There you go, Geoff. Good luck with those.

-Thank you.

0:23:410:23:44

Remember, you're going to try and find the one

0:23:440:23:46

you think the fewest of our 100 people could answer.

0:23:460:23:48

Yeah.

0:23:480:23:50

On that basis, I think I'm going to have to go for...

0:23:500:23:53

-Four humours.

-Four humours, says Geoff.

0:23:560:24:01

No red line for you as you're the high scorers,

0:24:010:24:03

but let's see if that's right. Four humours.

0:24:030:24:05

It's right.

0:24:070:24:08

15, well done.

0:24:140:24:15

That, Geoff, might be the move that keeps you in the game.

0:24:170:24:20

Very well done. 115 your total.

0:24:200:24:21

That's a great answer, Geoff. Well played.

0:24:210:24:23

Do you know any of the humours?

0:24:230:24:26

Not supplementary questions!

0:24:260:24:27

No, not off hand. Give me enough time, I will.

0:24:290:24:32

Blood, phlegm, black bile and yellow bile.

0:24:320:24:35

Yeah, or choler and melancholy,

0:24:350:24:38

which are the names for black bile and yellow bile. Absolutely.

0:24:380:24:41

-That's nice, isn't it?

-Yeah, nice.

0:24:410:24:43

Right up to the early 19th century,

0:24:430:24:44

those were still considered to be very important in medical science -

0:24:440:24:49

balancing those four humours.

0:24:490:24:51

Ah, well, there we go. Hey, ho. Thanks, Richard.

0:24:510:24:54

Now, Dave.

0:24:550:24:57

There you are on 21, Barry did pretty well on the first pass.

0:24:570:24:59

115 is our high score, so if you can score 93 or less, you're through.

0:24:590:25:06

OK, I'm going to go for what I think is the most obvious

0:25:060:25:09

answer on the board, if there is one.

0:25:090:25:11

In 1901, Karl Landsteiner categorised blood

0:25:110:25:15

in the ABO group system.

0:25:150:25:16

Blood, says Dave. Blood. There's your red line.

0:25:170:25:20

Get below that with blood, you're in the head-to-head.

0:25:200:25:22

Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said it.

0:25:220:25:26

It's right. Very well done.

0:25:270:25:28

25.

0:25:310:25:33

46 your total, Dave. Very well done, you're through.

0:25:350:25:38

Good answer. Safe and sound. Received a Nobel Prize for his work as well.

0:25:400:25:43

-Thanks, Richard. Rachel.

-Hello.

0:25:430:25:46

Rachel, you have to score 60 or less, simple as that.

0:25:460:25:51

Talk us through the board.

0:25:510:25:53

I don't think I can. I don't know about laughing gas at all.

0:25:530:25:55

Don't know who discovered the effects.

0:25:550:25:58

Edward Jenner, maybe polio or something like that,

0:25:580:26:01

but I don't know.

0:26:010:26:03

I don't know about nursing.

0:26:030:26:04

I'm going to have a bash at the antibiotic

0:26:040:26:08

discovered by Alexander Fleming and say penicillin.

0:26:080:26:11

Penicillin,

0:26:110:26:13

you're going to go for. You have to score 60 or less.

0:26:130:26:15

Let's see if penicillin's right and,

0:26:150:26:18

if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said penicillin.

0:26:180:26:21

It's right.

0:26:220:26:23

82.

0:26:250:26:27

82 for penicillin, takes your total up to 136.

0:26:270:26:30

Yeah, a big score. Sorry, Rachel.

0:26:330:26:35

You definitely, definitely know who wrote the 1859 book Notes On Nursing.

0:26:350:26:38

I guarantee you. It's the most famous nurse in our history.

0:26:380:26:42

Florence Nightingale.

0:26:420:26:44

Would have scored you 43 points as well,

0:26:450:26:48

would have seen you safely through.

0:26:480:26:49

-Edward Jenner developed the vaccine for...

-Smallpox.

-Yep.

0:26:490:26:53

Would have scored 25.

0:26:530:26:55

I like the fact that if you're a scientist

0:26:550:26:57

they say you discovered the physiological effects of laughing gas

0:26:570:27:00

rather than the first person to get high on laughing gas,

0:27:000:27:02

who was Sir Humphry Davy. Would have scored you 3 points.

0:27:020:27:06

Very well done if you said that at home.

0:27:060:27:08

Thanks very much indeed, Richard.

0:27:080:27:09

At the end of our second round, the pair that we're sending home,

0:27:090:27:12

with their high score of 136, I'm afraid, Rachel and Michael.

0:27:120:27:15

Nothing wrong with your answers. Yeah, penicillin.

0:27:150:27:19

Big high scorer there.

0:27:190:27:20

I should never have picked it cos I'm allergic to it.

0:27:200:27:22

-Doubly so now.

-Yeah.

0:27:240:27:26

You'd have got Florence Nightingale if you'd had to answer that one.

0:27:260:27:29

Maybe, yeah.

0:27:290:27:30

Well, listen, you'll be back next time.

0:27:300:27:32

I'm sure you'll do even better.

0:27:320:27:33

Meantime, thanks for playing, Rachel and Michael.

0:27:330:27:36

But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.

0:27:390:27:43

Congratulations, Barry and Dave, Patrick and Geoff.

0:27:470:27:49

You're one step closer to the final and a chance to play

0:27:490:27:52

for our jackpot, which currently stands at...

0:27:520:27:54

CHEERING

0:27:550:27:57

We have to decide who's going to play for that money.

0:27:580:28:00

To do that, you are now going to go head-to-head.

0:28:000:28:02

The big difference is you're now allowed to confer

0:28:020:28:04

before you give your answers.

0:28:040:28:06

The first pair to win two questions

0:28:060:28:07

will be playing for that jackpot.

0:28:070:28:09

Very well played, Barry and Dave. Very good. Nice low scoring there.

0:28:090:28:12

That last round, bit of a gift, medical stuff,

0:28:120:28:15

working in a hospital and all.

0:28:150:28:16

We don't get to see any of that.

0:28:170:28:20

We just see raw chips.

0:28:200:28:22

LAUGHTER

0:28:220:28:23

That's all you see.

0:28:230:28:24

Patrick and Geoff, very well done. You've come through.

0:28:240:28:27

Made it through that first round. Second round, not bad at all.

0:28:270:28:30

Best of luck to both pairs.

0:28:300:28:32

Let's play the head-to-head.

0:28:320:28:34

OK, here comes your first question. It concerns...

0:28:400:28:43

Wildlife TV Presenters, Richard?

0:28:460:28:48

I'm going to show you five pictures now of famous wildlife TV presenters.

0:28:480:28:51

You just have to identify the most obscure.

0:28:510:28:53

OK, let's reveal our five wildlife TV presenters. Here they come...

0:28:530:28:57

There we are. Five wildlife TV presenters.

0:29:170:29:20

Now then, Barry and Dave,

0:29:200:29:22

you've played best throughout the show so far, so you will go first.

0:29:220:29:26

(Bill Oddie.)

0:29:260:29:27

(He's the one that does the...with Richard Hammond.)

0:29:310:29:33

OK?

0:29:410:29:43

-What are you going to go for?

-A, Michaela Strachan.

0:29:430:29:46

A, Michaela Strachan.

0:29:460:29:48

Michaela Strachan, say Barry and Dave.

0:29:480:29:50

Patrick and Geoff, do you want to talk us

0:29:500:29:52

through the rest of the board?

0:29:520:29:53

Well, B is Bill Oddie.

0:29:530:29:55

D is David Attenborough.

0:29:550:29:57

C, I have no idea.

0:29:590:30:01

E, I know him, but I can't remember his name for the life of me,

0:30:010:30:05

which is really annoying.

0:30:050:30:07

So we're going to have to go for David Attenborough?

0:30:070:30:09

Well, yeah. Or Bill.

0:30:110:30:12

-Everyone'll know Bill.

-Everyone knows David.

0:30:120:30:15

David or Bill.

0:30:150:30:16

I think he looks smart and perhaps a bit...

0:30:180:30:20

Doesn't look like himself. OK.

0:30:200:30:22

That is actually a safari dinner jacket.

0:30:220:30:24

It's got short sleeves and lots of pockets.

0:30:240:30:26

So, D, David Attenborough.

0:30:290:30:31

D, David Attenborough.

0:30:310:30:32

We have Michaela Strachan versus David Attenborough.

0:30:320:30:35

Barry and Dave said Michaela Strachan for A.

0:30:350:30:37

Let's see if that's right and, if it is,

0:30:370:30:39

let's see how many people said it.

0:30:390:30:41

It's right.

0:30:420:30:43

51.

0:30:470:30:48

51 for Michaela Strachan.

0:30:510:30:52

Now, Patrick and Geoff, you have said that D is David Attenborough.

0:30:520:30:56

You're hoping that some people may not recognise

0:30:560:30:58

it as David Attenborough.

0:30:580:31:00

Let's see if they did.

0:31:000:31:01

It's right.

0:31:040:31:06

Ooh.

0:31:060:31:07

57, there we are. Closer than I was expecting.

0:31:070:31:10

Good strategy, I would say. Well done, Barry and Dave.

0:31:120:31:15

After one question, you're up 1-0.

0:31:150:31:17

I think your instinct was right.

0:31:170:31:18

It doesn't look exactly like Sir David Attenborough, does it?

0:31:180:31:21

If you know what I mean, which is why it's not way up there,

0:31:210:31:23

cos obviously everyone knows what he actually looks like.

0:31:230:31:26

But that's not the most representative picture of him,

0:31:260:31:28

whereas Bill Oddie just looks like Bill Oddie there.

0:31:280:31:31

That's reflected in his score, which is very, very high.

0:31:310:31:33

It would have scored you 89 points.

0:31:330:31:36

C is a pointless answer.

0:31:360:31:37

Did Chimpanzee Diary, all sorts of things. Charlotte Uhlenbroek.

0:31:370:31:41

Very well done if you said that.

0:31:410:31:43

E is such a familiar face to Springwatch, Big Cat Diary,

0:31:440:31:47

all sorts of things.

0:31:470:31:48

Simon King, I've just remembered.

0:31:480:31:50

Simon King is absolutely right

0:31:500:31:51

and would have won you the points as well.

0:31:510:31:53

Would have scored you 6 points.

0:31:530:31:55

Never mind, never mind.

0:31:550:31:56

Thanks very much indeed. Bad luck there, Geoff.

0:31:560:31:59

Here comes your second question.

0:31:590:32:00

Patrick and Geoff, you have to win this one to stay in the game.

0:32:000:32:03

Good luck. It concerns...

0:32:030:32:04

The Chronicles Of Narnia, Richard.

0:32:080:32:09

Yeah, we're going to give you five names now

0:32:090:32:12

of the Chronicles Of Narnia novels, but we're just going to show you

0:32:120:32:15

the number of letters in each word in the title.

0:32:150:32:17

Can you work out which of the novels we are referring to here?

0:32:170:32:20

Thanks very much indeed.

0:32:200:32:21

OK, let's reveal our five Chronicles Of Narnia novels, and here they are.

0:32:210:32:25

I'll read those all one last time...

0:32:370:32:38

Patrick and Geoff will go first.

0:32:460:32:48

I don't know any apart from the bottom one.

0:32:500:32:52

I only know... I think it's The Dawn Treader.

0:32:520:32:54

OK, erm, I think we're going to go for 3,4,6...

0:32:550:32:59

-Wait. Oh, go on.

-Yeah?

-Yeah, go on, then.

0:32:590:33:02

It's The Dawn Treader, 3, 4 and 6.

0:33:020:33:06

3, 4, 6, The Dawn Treader.

0:33:060:33:09

OK. The Dawn Treader.

0:33:090:33:11

Now then, Barry and Dave, talk us through the board, if you can.

0:33:110:33:16

The bottom one will be The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe,

0:33:160:33:19

I can't really remember the name of the one above that,

0:33:190:33:22

and I don't know the middle one.

0:33:220:33:25

But we're going to go for 6 and 7, Prince Caspian.

0:33:250:33:28

Prince Caspian, say Barry and Dave, Prince Caspian.

0:33:280:33:31

So, Patrick and Geoff have said The Dawn Treader.

0:33:310:33:34

Let's see if that's right,

0:33:340:33:35

and if it is let's see how many people said it.

0:33:350:33:37

No!

0:33:390:33:41

I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer, which means, Barry and Dave,

0:33:410:33:44

you merely have to be correct with Prince Caspian

0:33:440:33:46

and you will win the point and go straight through to the final.

0:33:460:33:50

Let's see if that's right, Prince Caspian.

0:33:500:33:52

It is right, very well done indeed, Barry and Dave.

0:33:540:33:56

It is a good answer, as well,

0:33:580:33:59

look at that, 24, good score.

0:33:590:34:01

APPLAUSE

0:34:010:34:02

Which means, Barry and Dave, after only two questions,

0:34:030:34:07

you are straight through to the final, 2-0, very well done.

0:34:070:34:09

That's really unlucky, Patrick and Geoff,

0:34:090:34:11

-it doesn't fit the second clue, The Dawn Treader.

-No.

0:34:110:34:14

-But it does fit the fourth clue.

-Yes.

0:34:140:34:16

Which is The Voyage Of The Dawn Treader.

0:34:160:34:19

So sorry, and it would have won you the point,

0:34:190:34:21

it would have scored you 17.

0:34:210:34:22

The bottom one is The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe.

0:34:220:34:25

That would have scored 57.

0:34:260:34:28

The second one is The Last Battle.

0:34:280:34:31

That would have scored you 8.

0:34:310:34:33

And the one below is The Horse And His Boy,

0:34:330:34:36

and that would have scored you 9 points.

0:34:360:34:38

The Last Battle is the best answer up there.

0:34:380:34:41

Thanks very much indeed, Richard.

0:34:410:34:42

So, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,

0:34:420:34:45

I'm afraid, Patrick and Geoff. Oh!

0:34:450:34:47

I think, had you had a little bit longer,

0:34:470:34:49

-you would have got Simon King.

-Yes.

0:34:490:34:51

-And it all might be very different.

-Oh, yes.

0:34:510:34:53

However, I'm afraid, when the pressure's on

0:34:530:34:55

and that spotlight's shining down on you,

0:34:550:34:57

it's impossible to find those sorts of answers.

0:34:570:34:59

I'm so sorry, but it's good news for us, really,

0:34:590:35:01

cos it means we get to see you again next time.

0:35:010:35:03

Otherwise it would have been goodbye, had you been a finalist,

0:35:030:35:06

so there's the silver lining.

0:35:060:35:07

Patrick and Geoff, you played very well indeed,

0:35:070:35:09

-we'll see you again next time. Thanks very much.

-Thank you.

0:35:090:35:12

-APPLAUSE

-But for Barry and Dave it's now time for our Pointless final.

0:35:120:35:15

Congratulations, Barry and Dave,

0:35:190:35:20

you've fought off all the competition

0:35:200:35:22

and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.

0:35:220:35:25

You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot,

0:35:300:35:33

and at the end of today's show the jackpot stands at £7,500.

0:35:330:35:36

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:35:360:35:39

Well, an astonishing performance.

0:35:390:35:41

Your very first answer on the show today was Guadalajara, Dave.

0:35:410:35:44

It scored you a lovely low score of one.

0:35:440:35:46

And you finished it off with a 2-0 victory in the head-to-head,

0:35:460:35:49

so that's pretty decisive, I'd say.

0:35:490:35:51

What would you like to see come up?

0:35:510:35:53

-Film.

-We're both quite good on film or movies.

-Film?

0:35:530:35:56

-Yeah.

-OK.

0:35:560:35:57

You've been a fantastic team, and actually I'm delighted to say

0:35:570:36:00

we've got a decent jackpot for you to play for.

0:36:000:36:02

And a great shirt, as well, to be fair.

0:36:020:36:04

And a cracking shirt.

0:36:040:36:06

It's a good combination of size of jackpot and quality of shirt, isn't it?

0:36:060:36:09

Which is how we judge most of our Pointless shows.

0:36:090:36:11

Seven a half grand and that? Yes, please!

0:36:110:36:14

LAUGHTER

0:36:140:36:15

Can I say something? That's got Bafta written all over it.

0:36:150:36:18

This is the one we're sending out to the committee, just so you know.

0:36:180:36:21

So no swearing.

0:36:210:36:23

LAUGHTER

0:36:230:36:25

Now, as always, you need to choose a category.

0:36:250:36:27

Your choices are these four...

0:36:270:36:30

-Legendary Movie Bad Boys?

-Got to be, yeah.

0:36:420:36:45

Legendary Movie Bad Boys.

0:36:450:36:47

OK, Legendary Movie Bad Boys, Rich.

0:36:470:36:49

OK, best of luck, guys, hope this goes well for you.

0:36:490:36:51

We're looking for any feature film made for cinema release

0:36:510:36:54

for which any of the following received an acting credit...

0:36:540:36:58

So any films made for cinema release -

0:37:070:37:08

so no short films, TV films, documentaries -

0:37:080:37:10

for which Oliver Reed, Richard Harris,

0:37:100:37:12

or Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor combined

0:37:120:37:14

received an acting credit according to IMDb.

0:37:140:37:17

Very, very best of luck.

0:37:170:37:18

Thanks very much indeed.

0:37:180:37:20

As always, you have up to a minute to come up with three answers,

0:37:200:37:23

and all you need to win that jackpot

0:37:230:37:24

is for just one of those answers to be pointless.

0:37:240:37:26

Remember, the answers you provide can come from any of these categories,

0:37:260:37:30

and how you spread them across the categories is entirely down to you.

0:37:300:37:33

-Are you ready?

-Yeah.

0:37:330:37:34

OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.

0:37:340:37:36

There they are, your time starts now.

0:37:360:37:38

-THEY CONFER QUIETLY

-Speak up.

0:37:380:37:40

An Oliver Reed film called Venom.

0:37:400:37:43

-It was rubbish.

-OK!

0:37:430:37:45

Richard Harris's last film was actually set in Liverpool,

0:37:450:37:49

-called My Kingdom.

-OK.

0:37:490:37:51

Based on, like, King Lear.

0:37:510:37:54

We'll go for them, I don't know Richard Burton or Elizabeth Taylor.

0:37:540:37:58

Richard Harris, Unforgiven.

0:37:580:38:00

-Yeah?

-The Clint Eastwood one.

0:38:000:38:01

-OK, The Unforgiven, Clint Eastwood, the

-'90s. Yeah.

0:38:010:38:04

-Are we ready?

-Yeah.

-OK.

0:38:040:38:06

-Are you happy with those?

-Yeah.

0:38:060:38:08

OK, we're going to stop the clock. What answers are you going to give?

0:38:080:38:11

-Oliver Reed did a film called Venom.

-Venom.

0:38:110:38:15

Which was rubbish.

0:38:150:38:16

Don't anyone watch it.

0:38:160:38:18

LAUGHTER

0:38:180:38:21

Richard Harris in Unforgiven.

0:38:210:38:23

Unforgiven, Richard Harris.

0:38:230:38:24

-And a Richard Harris film called My Kingdom.

-My Kingdom.

0:38:240:38:27

-Which was filmed in Liverpool?

-Liverpool, yeah.

0:38:270:38:29

OK, of those three, which do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?

0:38:290:38:33

-I'll go My Kingdom.

-My Kingdom we'll put last.

0:38:330:38:36

-Least likely to be pointless?

-Unforgiven.

0:38:360:38:38

Unforgiven we'll put first.

0:38:380:38:40

OK, let's pop those up on the board in that order, and there they are.

0:38:400:38:44

We've got Unforgiven, Venom and My Kingdom.

0:38:440:38:49

Very best of luck.

0:38:490:38:50

Three fantastic-sounding answers up there on the board,

0:38:500:38:52

let's hope at least one of those is pointless

0:38:520:38:54

and wins that jackpot for you. Your first answer was Unforgiven,

0:38:540:38:57

you thought this was probably the least likely to be pointless.

0:38:570:39:00

But it's not out of the bounds of possibility that one of those

0:39:000:39:03

answers might be pointless and might win you £7,500.

0:39:030:39:06

Barry, what would you do with your split of that?

0:39:060:39:09

I'll take you two for a drink.

0:39:090:39:11

-LAUGHTER

-That...

0:39:110:39:14

-That is good.

-..is the best answer yet.

0:39:140:39:16

APPLAUSE

0:39:160:39:18

-Genuinely.

-Oh, I'd love that!

0:39:180:39:20

I tell you what, you've obviously never gone drinking with Xander,

0:39:200:39:23

you'll need more than that!

0:39:230:39:24

LAUGHTER

0:39:240:39:26

Dave, what would you spend it on?

0:39:260:39:29

I'd treat myself and my wife to a lovely holiday.

0:39:290:39:31

Excellent.

0:39:310:39:33

OK, well very, very best of luck.

0:39:330:39:34

Let's hope at least one of those is pointless

0:39:340:39:36

and will win you that money. Your first answer -

0:39:360:39:39

in this case we were looking for Richard Harris films -

0:39:390:39:41

was Unforgiven.

0:39:410:39:42

Let's find out if it's correct,

0:39:420:39:44

and if it's pointless you will win that jackpot.

0:39:440:39:47

So, for £7,500, let's see how many people said Unforgiven.

0:39:470:39:50

Well, it's right.

0:39:520:39:53

If this goes all the way down to zero,

0:39:550:39:57

you leave here immediately with £7,500.

0:39:570:40:00

Down it goes.

0:40:000:40:02

Into single figures, still going down...

0:40:020:40:04

3!

0:40:040:40:05

APPLAUSE

0:40:050:40:07

3 for Unforgiven.

0:40:110:40:13

A great answer, lovely low score, but not a pointless answer.

0:40:130:40:17

So, only two more shots at today's jackpot.

0:40:170:40:19

Your second answer was Venom.

0:40:190:40:22

This was a film, you said, starring Oliver Reed.

0:40:220:40:25

You also said it was a terrible film,

0:40:250:40:28

so we should all avoid it, never see it.

0:40:280:40:30

This has to be pointless, obviously, for you to win that jackpot.

0:40:300:40:34

So, for £7,500, let's see how many people said Venom.

0:40:340:40:37

It's right.

0:40:400:40:42

Your first answer, Unforgiven, took us all the way down to 3.

0:40:420:40:46

Your second answer, Venom, now taking us down through the teens,

0:40:460:40:49

into single figures, down it goes,

0:40:490:40:51

still going down...

0:40:510:40:52

You've done it!

0:40:520:40:54

You've done it! Very, very well done indeed, that is fantastic.

0:40:540:40:58

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:40:580:41:01

Many, many congratulations, Barry and Dave.

0:41:080:41:11

Venom was a pointless answer, which means you leave here

0:41:110:41:15

with that jackpot of £7,500.

0:41:150:41:17

Very well done.

0:41:170:41:19

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:41:190:41:21

How about that?

0:41:230:41:24

How about that? All the way from Guadalajara to Venom.

0:41:240:41:27

You barely put a foot wrong throughout, very well done, guys.

0:41:270:41:30

Brilliant, brilliant performance.

0:41:300:41:32

Just for your information, My Kingdom, your other answer -

0:41:320:41:35

also pointless.

0:41:350:41:36

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:41:360:41:38

-That's not bad going, is it?

-Not bad at all.

0:41:430:41:46

Also, for the first time ever, we get a drink out of it! LAUGHTER

0:41:460:41:49

Let's take a look at some pointless answers.

0:41:490:41:51

Oliver Reed has done so many films, there's a few of his pointless ones,

0:41:510:41:54

but essentially anything apart from Gladiator, Women In Love,

0:41:540:41:57

the Three Musketeers, Oliver, Castaway, Tommy,

0:41:570:41:59

Hannibal Brooks and The Devils.

0:41:590:42:00

Everything else is a pointless answer,

0:42:000:42:03

so if you said another Oliver Reed film

0:42:030:42:04

you just would have won the jackpot.

0:42:040:42:06

Let's take a look at Richard Harris.

0:42:060:42:08

Cry, The Beloved Country, Mutiny On The Bounty, Patriot Games,

0:42:080:42:12

The Field - again, very few correct answers from him.

0:42:120:42:14

His Harry Potter films were correct answers.

0:42:140:42:17

Again, Gladiator, Camelot would have scored you points,

0:42:170:42:19

The Wild Geese, A Man Called Horse would have scored.

0:42:190:42:22

Guns of Navarone, Cromwell and This Sporting Life -

0:42:220:42:24

everything else was a pointless answer.

0:42:240:42:26

And for Burton and Taylor,

0:42:260:42:28

Dr Faustus, The Comedians,

0:42:280:42:31

the Sandpiper, Under Milk Wood was pointless.

0:42:310:42:34

Two other pointless answers there - Boom! and Hammersmith Is Out.

0:42:340:42:38

Those are all your pointless answers. Very, very well done, guys.

0:42:380:42:41

Great jackpot, great shirt, great combination.

0:42:410:42:43

It feels like it's raining Baftas, doesn't it?

0:42:430:42:46

-Hey, doesn't it?

-Doesn't it, though?

0:42:460:42:48

Thanks very much indeed, Richard.

0:42:480:42:50

And thanks, once again, to our winning players,

0:42:500:42:52

Barry and Dave, who go away with today's jackpot of £7,500.

0:42:520:42:56

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:42:560:42:59

-Thank you.

-Join us next time

0:42:590:43:01

when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.

0:43:010:43:04

-Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.

-Goodbye.

0:43:040:43:06

And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.

0:43:060:43:08

APPLAUSE
