0:00:18 > 0:00:20APPLAUSE
0:00:21 > 0:00:22Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:25 > 0:00:27where the aim of the game is to score as few points as you can.
0:00:27 > 0:00:30You do that by coming up with the answers that no-one else could think of.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32Let's meet today's players.
0:00:36 > 0:00:37And couple number one.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40Hi, I'm Sophia, this is my boyfriend, James,
0:00:40 > 0:00:42- and we're here from Surbiton. - Couple number two.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44Hello, I'm Brian and this is Gemma.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47We're father and daughter from Crowthorne in Berkshire.
0:00:47 > 0:00:48Couple number three.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50I'm Myra, this is my friend Lorraine,
0:00:50 > 0:00:52and we're from Kingston upon Hull.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54And finally, couple number four.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm Aaron, this is my best friend Rich, and we're from Cardiff.
0:00:57 > 0:00:58And these are today's contestants.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00APPLAUSE
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Thanks very much. We'll get to know more about you throughout the show.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07So that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09He was nearly unveiled as the 13th Doctor Who
0:01:09 > 0:01:11until a very strongly worded e-mail
0:01:11 > 0:01:15about the logical fallacy of the TARDIS threw him out of contention.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Hiya. Hi, everybody. APPLAUSE
0:01:22 > 0:01:25- Afternoon to you.- And to you. - How are you?- I'm very well.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28- I've got a slightly new desk. - I spotted that.- Have you seen?
0:01:28 > 0:01:31- It's just slightly different. - It's narrower.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35It's slightly narrower but also slightly deeper, if that makes sense.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38- Yes.- And it's got a slightly less-glossy finish.- It does.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42I'm very pleased. It cost £14 million. LAUGHTER
0:01:42 > 0:01:45- So cheaper than the last one? - Cheaper than the last one, exactly.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48It's solid, um...plutonium.
0:01:48 > 0:01:49- Yes.- Except for this bit.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53You won't be able to see it on camera but it's all diamond, inlaid diamond.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55- Doesn't show on camera at all. - I can see it.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58It's just nice to have that attention to detail.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Now, we've got one returning pair on today's show
0:02:00 > 0:02:03and there's a tale attached to them.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06Brian, on the last show, let Gemma down very badly.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Gave the name of a country that doesn't exist.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12And according to Brian, he has had a terrible time since then.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15A terrible time with Gemma, with his wife...
0:02:15 > 0:02:18But now he's back and, er...
0:02:18 > 0:02:20I suggest, if you get 100 points today,
0:02:20 > 0:02:23Brian, your life will not be worth living, am I right?
0:02:23 > 0:02:26Yes, I could be hitchhiking home.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29- What kind of a show have we got lined up today, Richard?- Terrific.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31- Have we? Oh, good.- I mean, terrific.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Especially if you like hidden diamonds.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36If you like diamonds you can't see, today's show is an absolute bobby-dazzler.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Fabulous. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42All our questions on Pointless have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Our contestants need to find the obscurer answers those 100 people didn't get.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Everyone's trying to find a pointless answer,
0:02:47 > 0:02:49that being an answer that none of our 100 people gave
0:02:49 > 0:02:53and each time that happens, we add £250 to the jackpot.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Now, Basil and Giles won the jackpot last time,
0:02:55 > 0:02:57so today's jackpot starts off back at...
0:02:58 > 0:03:02There it is. Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08OK, now, all you have to remember
0:03:08 > 0:03:11is that the pair with the highest score at the end of this round will be eliminated.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13OK, our first category is...
0:03:17 > 0:03:21Television. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going first, who's going second?
0:03:21 > 0:03:24And whoever's going first, please, step up to the podium.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29OK, and the question concerns...
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Television shopkeepers. Richard.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37Yes, on each pass, we're going to give you the names
0:03:37 > 0:03:40of seven television shopkeepers or shopkeeping duos.
0:03:40 > 0:03:41You just need to tell us
0:03:41 > 0:03:44the name of the TV series in which they first appeared, please.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46There's going to be seven on each board,
0:03:46 > 0:03:4914 in all to have a go at at home, so very, very best of luck.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51OK, thanks very much indeed.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54So we are looking for the show in which each of these shopkeepers
0:03:54 > 0:03:57first appeared, and here's our first board of seven.
0:03:57 > 0:03:58We have...
0:04:11 > 0:04:13I'll read those all one last time.
0:04:27 > 0:04:28There we are.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31- Welcome to the show, Sophia. Good to have you here.- Thank you.
0:04:31 > 0:04:32What do you do?
0:04:32 > 0:04:36I work for my local council and I'm a senior business analyst.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40Now, you and James hold, or rather held, a World Record.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44- Yes...- A genuine Guinness World Record.- Yes.- What was it for?
0:04:44 > 0:04:46The longest kiss.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50- Wow. We went for that one, didn't we?- Yeah, we did, yeah. LAUGHTER
0:04:50 > 0:04:52- Nearly got it... - Nearly did. How long was yours?
0:04:52 > 0:04:5631 hours, 30 minutes and 30 seconds.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00Yeah, that's about 31 hours, 30 minutes longer than ours, wasn't it?
0:05:00 > 0:05:02- Yeah. Still...- No less enjoyable.
0:05:02 > 0:05:07- Certainly. Well... It's the quality, isn't it, Sophia?- It is, yeah.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10OK, now then, what are you going to go for on this board?
0:05:10 > 0:05:12How do you find our shopkeepers?
0:05:12 > 0:05:15Erm... I'm a bit worried because about five or six of them
0:05:15 > 0:05:19are before I even was born but just to get something on the board,
0:05:19 > 0:05:21I think I'm just going to go for one I know.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Alf Stewart...
0:05:23 > 0:05:26And it's Home And Away, I believe.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Alf Stewart, Home And Away, says Sophia.
0:05:28 > 0:05:29Let's see if that's right
0:05:29 > 0:05:33and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Home And Away.
0:05:36 > 0:05:37It's right.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45- Very well done indeed. - APPLAUSE
0:05:45 > 0:05:4729 for Home And Away.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Well played, Sophia. A relief to get that first answer on the board.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53I have to say, if six of them were before you were born,
0:05:53 > 0:05:56then you were born in the year 2000, so you're looking, er....
0:05:56 > 0:05:58LAUGHTER
0:05:58 > 0:06:02- ..I have to say, slightly older than your years.- Pretty good, yeah.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Thanks very much indeed. Gemma.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07- Welcome back.- Yeah, thanks. - So, yes, Western Samoa.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11- We'll put all talk of that behind us.- It's fine.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14- It's one of those things.- Yes. Gemma, remind us what you do.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17I'm a designer by trade, technically, yeah.
0:06:18 > 0:06:19Which is pretty cool.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22But I specialise in textile design
0:06:22 > 0:06:25so, all the fabric for fashion and mainly interiors.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29Good stuff. Now, shopkeepers. Shopkeepers on TV, Gemma.
0:06:29 > 0:06:35- Yeah.- How do we feel about that? - Not feeling peachy about it. Erm...
0:06:35 > 0:06:39I was born in 1989 and I don't know who any of those people are.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41But it was always my turn to get 100 points, wasn't it?
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Because Dad took the bullet last time
0:06:43 > 0:06:46so I think I'm just going to go for the bottom one.
0:06:46 > 0:06:47EastEnders?
0:06:47 > 0:06:50- I'm sorry, Dad.- For the bottom one, Navid Harrid?- Yeah.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52OK, EastEnders, says Gemma.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many people said EastEnders.
0:06:58 > 0:06:59Oh, bad luck, Gemma.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01I'm afraid an incorrect answer scores you
0:07:01 > 0:07:03- the maximum of 100 points. - Sorry, Gemma.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Looking at Brian, I've never seen anyone look gutted
0:07:05 > 0:07:08and delighted at the same time. LAUGHTER
0:07:09 > 0:07:11I'll give you the correct answer at the end of the pass.
0:07:11 > 0:07:12Now then, Lorraine.
0:07:12 > 0:07:17- Welcome.- Thank you.- Welcome, and where are you from?- Hull.- From Hull.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19And what do you get up to in Hull?
0:07:19 > 0:07:20Well, I'm retired.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23I like to walk and I like to use my bus pass, so I combine the two
0:07:23 > 0:07:26and get on the bus and go someplace and walk.
0:07:26 > 0:07:27You can always walk on the bus.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30- Get on the bus and walk up and down the bus.- Anything.- Um...
0:07:30 > 0:07:32- Where are you from originally, Lorraine?- California.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35- I was going to say, that doesn't sound like a Hull accent.- No.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38- When did you come here from California?- 30 years ago.
0:07:38 > 0:07:4430 years ago. So some of these TV shopkeepers, you will recognise.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48I know two for sure and I'm going to take a bit of a chance on one.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51I think Ron Dixon...
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Brookside.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55Brookside, says Lorraine.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Let's see if that's right for Ron Dixon, let's see how many people said Brookside.
0:08:01 > 0:08:02- It's right.- Thank goodness for that.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06Well, 29, our low score at this point.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08You've passed that. Look at that, down it goes.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10- Very well done indeed, Lorraine. - APPLAUSE
0:08:13 > 0:08:16Very well played, Lorraine. Played by Vince Earl for 13 years.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Ran the Trading Post.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21- Once shot his daughter's boyfriend's brother.- Yes.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24- Only because he was burgling him, not because of...- Yeah.- Not for fun.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26- Not for sport.- No, no, no.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Now then, Aaron. Welcome to the show, good to have you here.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33- What do you do, Aaron? - I'm a control centre operator.
0:08:33 > 0:08:34Based with Cardiff Council.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37Right you are. What sort of things do you operate and control?
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Well, we sit in a control centre...
0:08:39 > 0:08:42I'd be disappointed if you didn't, I'll be honest.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44In a control centre, screens?
0:08:44 > 0:08:45No, a couple of computers.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49- Quite small, it's not like a police centre.- No camera, no CCTV?- No.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51- That could be coming in soon. - I hope it is.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53What are your hobbies, Aaron?
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Playing football, watching football and just doing bits and bobs
0:08:56 > 0:09:00with the family and my long-term girlfriend as well.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03Good stuff. How are you feeling about this television round?
0:09:03 > 0:09:05To be honest, my mum grew up watching...
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Sorry, I grew up watching Brookside and Home And Away
0:09:07 > 0:09:09because my mum would force me to.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11So they were the two I was going to say.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15The only other one I've got a slight inkling about is Arkwright.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17- And I think it's Open All Hours. - You're going to go for...
0:09:17 > 0:09:20- But I'm not 100% on it.- That is the one you're going to go for.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24Open All Hours, says Aaron. Let's see if it's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:09:26 > 0:09:27It's right.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34- Better than 100.- Quite high, but better than 100, as you say. - APPLAUSE
0:09:34 > 0:09:3551 for Arkwright.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39Yep, absolutely. Played by Ronnie Barker, of course, Albert Arkwright.
0:09:39 > 0:09:45And they brought it back, the BBC, as Still Open All Hours with David Jason, of course.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Er, now... Let's go through the rest of these.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Now, Navid Harrid is not EastEnders.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Our Scottish viewers would have got this.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55Played by Sanjeev Kohli in Still Game.
0:09:55 > 0:09:574 points, very well done if you said that.
0:09:57 > 0:09:58Um... Right at the top there,
0:09:58 > 0:10:01Alf Roberts, I know an awful lot of people would have got.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03He is from Coronation Street.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06Would have scored you 65, so the biggest scorer up there.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Bilbo Bagshot...is played by Bill Bailey
0:10:08 > 0:10:10in Spaced.
0:10:11 > 0:10:16And would have scored you 2, and Mr Hooper...is from Sesame Street.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20And he would have scored you 3 points. So the best answer up there is Bilbo Bagshot.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22- Well done if you said that. - OK, thanks very much.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Halfway through the round, let's look at the scores.
0:10:24 > 0:10:2715, the best score of that pass. Lorraine, very well done indeed.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29That sets you up pretty well.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32Then we come up to 29, where we find Sophia and James,
0:10:32 > 0:10:35then up to 51, Aaron and Rich, then Gemma and Brian.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Now, who knows what the next board's going to be like?
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Brian, you might know all of them.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41But we'll need a lovely low score from you and maybe,
0:10:41 > 0:10:43maybe you can redeem yourself.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46- Unlikely.- Well, who knows? Very, very best of luck.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49We're going to come back down the line. Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:10:53 > 0:10:57OK, let's put seven more shopkeepers up on the board, and here they are.
0:10:57 > 0:10:58We have got...
0:11:15 > 0:11:17I'll read those all one last time.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35There we are. Now remember, we are looking for the show
0:11:35 > 0:11:37in which each of these shopkeepers first appeared on television
0:11:37 > 0:11:41and, Rich, you're going to find the one you think fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44- Welcome to the show, Rich. - Thank you.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47- What do you do? - I'm a microgeneration consultant.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50It's a glorified administrator, really.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53- Microgenerator?- Yeah, we deal with renewable energy.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56We pay customers on a feeding tariff for being sustainable.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58Very good, so this is solar panels, things like that?
0:11:58 > 0:12:02- Solar panels, wind farms...- Wood chip burners.- That type of thing.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04OK, now, there you are. You're on 51, Rich.
0:12:04 > 0:12:10- If you can score 48 or less, you are definitely in the next round.- Erm...
0:12:10 > 0:12:13- Is it a good board?- Yeah, it's quite a good board. It's a decent board.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15One of my favourite shows has actually come up
0:12:15 > 0:12:17from when I was younger.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19So my answer is going to be Tubbs and Edward...
0:12:19 > 0:12:22- For The League Of Gentlemen. - The League Of Gentlemen, says Rich.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24OK, here comes your red line.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Get below that, you're definitely in Round Two.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29Let's see if The League Of Gentlemen is right for Tubbs and Edward.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34It is right.
0:12:35 > 0:12:36Well done, you're through.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41- Best score so far, actually, Rich. - APPLAUSE
0:12:41 > 0:12:42That takes your total up to 65.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47Well played, Rich. Played by Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton,
0:12:47 > 0:12:49who have gone on to do many brilliant things.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52- There we are. Now, Myra. Welcome to the show.- Hello.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55- Good to have you here. What do you do, Myra?- I'm retired.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57What do you get up to? What do you do with your time?
0:12:57 > 0:13:02I go walking with Lorraine, use my bus pass and I read crosswords
0:13:02 > 0:13:04and I love a game of bingo.
0:13:04 > 0:13:05See, that's a Hull accent.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09- No.- No, it's not, apparently. - That was a little joke.- Oh, I see.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15- That went over my head.- Yeah. - What is your accent, Myra?- Scottish.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19- Yes. - LAUGHTER
0:13:19 > 0:13:25- How did you and Lorraine meet?- On the bus. At the bus stop.- Brilliant.
0:13:25 > 0:13:30- Brilliant. Now, Myra. Shopkeepers. - Yes.- Incidentally, you're on 15.
0:13:30 > 0:13:3284 or less sees you comfortably through.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35I think I know two, and I don't know which one to go for.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39So do I take a guess or do I...
0:13:39 > 0:13:42I think I'll go for the bottom one, and I think it's The Simpsons.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46You're going to say Apu Nahasapeemapetilon...
0:13:46 > 0:13:48- I think, yeah...- The Simpsons. OK. There's your red line.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Get below that, you're in the next round.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53Let's see if The Simpsons is right. Let's see how many people said it.
0:13:55 > 0:13:56It's right!
0:13:56 > 0:13:57And you're through, very well done.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03APPLAUSE
0:14:03 > 0:14:0551 is your total.
0:14:06 > 0:14:10Very well played, Myra. He runs the Kwik-E-Mart, voiced by Hank Azaria.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14There we are. Now, Brian. Now, listen. All is not lost.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18Here's the scenario in which you get carried out of here, shoulder-high,
0:14:18 > 0:14:20at the end of the game, not now.
0:14:21 > 0:14:27It's this. You score 28. Or less. And James scores 100.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29That's the only way it can happen.
0:14:31 > 0:14:35Apu Nahasapeemapetilon scored 36,
0:14:35 > 0:14:38just to give you, like, an archaeologist's hammer.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41- That's very kind.- To give you some idea of the scale we're talking of.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45Well, rather than get another 100,
0:14:45 > 0:14:49I'm not going to be carried out shoulder-high at the end of this game,
0:14:49 > 0:14:52but I'll crawl out after I say...
0:14:52 > 0:14:54- Harold Bishop, Neighbours.- Yeah.
0:14:55 > 0:15:00OK, Harold Bishop, Neighbours. Gemma has said yes to that.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02- Yes, Dad. - There's no red line for you,
0:15:02 > 0:15:04obviously, as you're the high-scorers. But let's see.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07Neighbours, is that right and, if it is, how many people said it?
0:15:09 > 0:15:10It's right.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16APPLAUSE
0:15:16 > 0:15:18That takes your total up to 165, Brian.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24That's awkward, isn't it?
0:15:24 > 0:15:26He ran many shops in Neighbours, actually, Harold Bishop.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29Health food store, the coffee shop, most famously.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32He was swept out to sea and presumed dead for many years but, er...
0:15:32 > 0:15:33He wasn't.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36- Nope.- Came back suffering from amnesia.- Yeah.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40That must have been a very heavy script he paddled his way back with.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Yes, I think it was.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44I think it was a very, very large cheque from the Neighbours people
0:15:44 > 0:15:47that he managed to paddle himself back to shore with.
0:15:47 > 0:15:52- Now then, James.- Hello.- James. Welcome. Welcome to the show.
0:15:52 > 0:15:53What do you do, James?
0:15:53 > 0:15:56I'm a chauffeur for the largest chauffeur company in the UK.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00We chauffeur corporate clients and all sorts of people.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02- Is that London-based...? - It is, but I'll go anywhere.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05I've been to Middlesbrough, Bridlington, all exotic locations.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09Wow, all of them. Yes, Middlesbrough, Bridlington.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11Now, James, you're through, which is great news.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14- Yeah, the pressure's off. - The pressure's off.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17With that pressure off, you want to fill in the blanks for us?
0:16:17 > 0:16:21I do. Well, I don't know Suzie Sweet and Penny Pocket, no idea.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25I would have gone Gary Sparrow, which I'm going to anyway,
0:16:25 > 0:16:28because I've got no idea who Moon and Noir are, or Giles is...
0:16:28 > 0:16:31And Gary Sparrow's definitely from...
0:16:31 > 0:16:35one of the best time-travelling sitcoms ever, Goodnight Sweetheart.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37OK, Gary Sparrow, Goodnight Sweetheart.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40Let's see. No red line for you as you're already through.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42But let's see how many people said Goodnight Sweetheart.
0:16:44 > 0:16:45It's right.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48INAUDIBLE
0:16:51 > 0:16:53APPLAUSE
0:16:55 > 0:16:5650 is your total.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59The lowest total, I might add, of the whole round, so very, very well done indeed.
0:16:59 > 0:17:00Yeah, well played, James.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02There were some proper sighs of, "Of course,"
0:17:02 > 0:17:04from some of the other podiums there as well.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06Played by Nicholas Lyndhurst.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Let's take a look at the rest of these.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Do you know Suzie Sweet and Penny Pocket?
0:17:11 > 0:17:14- It's got to be a children's show. I'm guessing.- Yep.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16Either you're very young or you had very young kids at the time.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18It's Balamory.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20Would have scored you 7 points.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23- Howard Moon and Vince Noir, you'll know.- The Mighty Boosh.
0:17:23 > 0:17:24That is The Mighty Boosh.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27Would have scored you 8. And Rupert Giles?
0:17:29 > 0:17:32It's Buffy The Vampire Slayer, played by Anthony Head, Rupert Giles.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34Would have scored you 3 points,
0:17:34 > 0:17:36so the best answer up there. Well done if you said that.
0:17:36 > 0:17:37Thanks very much indeed.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39So at the end of our first round,
0:17:39 > 0:17:42I'm afraid the pair heading home is Brian and Gemma.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45Round One last time, Round One this time. I'm so sorry.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51We just haven't dished up the best Pointless round for you,
0:17:51 > 0:17:52I'm afraid, in two shows.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54I'm so sorry you have to leave so soon.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57But it's been great having you, Brian and Gemma.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59APPLAUSE
0:17:59 > 0:18:02But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:18:07 > 0:18:08And so three pairs remain.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10At the end of this round, we'll be saying goodbye
0:18:10 > 0:18:12to another pair in time for our head-to-head round.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14You've all got something to recommend you.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17Rich, the lowest individual score of that round
0:18:17 > 0:18:19for The League Of Gentlemen, so very well done.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23And the other two pairs, just one point between you, 50 and 51.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26Very, very close indeed. This could go any way.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29Best of luck to all three pairs. Our category for Round Two today is...
0:18:33 > 0:18:36Golf. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:18:36 > 0:18:37who's going to go second?
0:18:37 > 0:18:40And whoever's going first, please, step up to the podium.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:18:53 > 0:18:55..as they could. UK Ryder Cup golfers. Richard.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57We are looking for the name of any golfer
0:18:57 > 0:18:59representing England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland
0:18:59 > 0:19:01who has represented Europe in the Ryder Cup
0:19:01 > 0:19:05from 1979 all the way through to 2012, please.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09So any UK golfer who's played in the Ryder Cup from '79 to 2012.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Lots of pointless answers.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13I know, for some people, this will be damage limitation
0:19:13 > 0:19:17but some people at home are going to do very well on this round. Best of luck.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21- Thanks very much indeed. Now then, James.- Yeah.
0:19:21 > 0:19:27- Golf?- Uh... I'm just going to play it safe and say...
0:19:28 > 0:19:30- ..Sandy Lyle. - Sandy Lyle, says James.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said Sandy Lyle.
0:19:36 > 0:19:37It's right.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46- Very well done, James. - APPLAUSE
0:19:46 > 0:19:48Good start to the round, 11 for Sandy Lyle.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51Well played, James. Scottish two-time Major winner.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54First Briton to win the Masters as well, Sandy Lyle.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Thanks very much indeed. Now, Lorraine.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Lorraine, are you comfortable with this as a round?
0:20:00 > 0:20:04I know a lot of popular ones.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07It's just trying to decide which one is least well-known
0:20:07 > 0:20:09or least well-remembered.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12- I think I'll go with Justin Rose. - Justin Rose, says Lorraine.
0:20:12 > 0:20:16Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people said Justin Rose.
0:20:18 > 0:20:19It's right.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24Well, Sandy Lyle scored 11. Justin Rose still going down.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Look at that, not bad at all.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28- Very well done indeed, Lorraine. - APPLAUSE
0:20:28 > 0:20:29Our new low score.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Well played, Lorraine. An Englishman,
0:20:33 > 0:20:36had a famously terrific performance in the 2012 Ryder Cup, Justin Rose.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39Thanks very much indeed. Now then, Aaron.
0:20:40 > 0:20:41- Hmm.- Aaron.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43You struggling or are you just thinking
0:20:43 > 0:20:46of which is going to be the best of your excellent answers?
0:20:46 > 0:20:49I've got a few lined up. The main ones, really.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51It's probably the only golf I do watch on telly
0:20:51 > 0:20:54is the Ryder Cup. So that stands me in good stead, I would say.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56But I'm going to play it relatively safe
0:20:56 > 0:20:59and go with a fellow Welshman and say Ian Woosnam.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01Ian Woosnam, says Aaron. Let's see if that's right.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04Let's see how many of our 100 people said Ian Woosnam.
0:21:07 > 0:21:08It's right.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12So 11 and 9, our only two scores so far.
0:21:12 > 0:21:13Where's Woosnam going to end up?
0:21:13 > 0:21:15- Below all of them, look at that! - APPLAUSE
0:21:15 > 0:21:17Very well done indeed, Aaron.
0:21:17 > 0:21:18Good answer.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22Yeah, a good answer, good Welsh answer as well.
0:21:22 > 0:21:26Also captained the Ryder Cup team in 2006.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28Became the first player ever to win £1 million in a year,
0:21:28 > 0:21:31first ever golfer to win £1 million.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35- Thank you very much.- Pleasure. That's impressive, isn't it, for Woosy?
0:21:35 > 0:21:37Now then, we're halfway through the round.
0:21:37 > 0:21:38Let's take a look at those scores.
0:21:38 > 0:21:408, the best score of that pass, Aaron, very well done.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43Then up to 9, where we find Lorraine and Myra,
0:21:43 > 0:21:47then up to 11, James and Sophia. Well, very, very close indeed.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51Sophia, you find yourselves slightly ahead there.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Have you got some good golf stuff here?
0:21:54 > 0:21:55No...
0:21:55 > 0:21:59- SHE LAUGHS - I've got one name, and I don't even know if he's English.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01Hold on to it, hold on to it with both hands.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04I look forward to hearing what name that is.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07We're going to come back down the line. Second players, step up to the podium.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13Remember, we're looking for the name of any UK golfer
0:22:13 > 0:22:14who's played for Europe in the Ryder Cup.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17Now then, Rich. You're on 8.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21The high-scorers on 11 are Sophia and James, which means
0:22:21 > 0:22:24if you could score 2 or less, you'll avoid becoming the high-scorers.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27- Is golf a big thing for you? - Golf is terrible.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30- I was hoping for a sport question, just not golf.- Right.
0:22:31 > 0:22:32I'm going to take a risk.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34And I'm going to for a golfer that's in my head.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37- I'm going to go for Ian Poulter. - Ian Poulter.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40Well, your red line's going to be low but don't be put off by that
0:22:40 > 0:22:43because all the scores are very close and low. But Ian Poulter.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Let's see if it's right and let's see how many people said it.
0:22:48 > 0:22:49Well done, it's right.
0:22:53 > 0:22:558 is our low score so far...
0:22:55 > 0:22:58- 11 is what you get for Ian Poulter. - APPLAUSE
0:22:58 > 0:22:5919 is your total there, Rich.
0:23:01 > 0:23:02Yeah, no risk there.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05Ian Poulter, famously a brilliant player in the Ryder Cup.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08He posted a video in 2010, when we won the Ryder Cup,
0:23:08 > 0:23:12of him and his children eating cereal out of the Ryder Cup.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Didn't go down brilliantly with everyone.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17- But, erm...- I'm sure he washed it afterwards.- No, he didn't.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19It's not dishwasher-proof and he could be bothered.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Weetabix will stick... It will stick.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Weetabix, there's Coco Pops, there's everything in there.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25He mixes his cereal.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31Thanks very much. Now then, Myra. We have a new high score, which is 19.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34You're on 9, so if you can score 9 or less,
0:23:34 > 0:23:36you are definitely in the head-to-head.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39How are we feeling about this?
0:23:39 > 0:23:41The only name I can think of, I think
0:23:41 > 0:23:44it is how his name is... Sam Torrance.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47Sam Torrance. OK, let's see if that's right.
0:23:47 > 0:23:51Sam Torrance, says Myra. Lorraine, how do you feel about that?
0:23:51 > 0:23:53- I'm hopeful.- You're hopeful.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56- There is your red line, if you get below that...- Oh, yeah(!)
0:23:56 > 0:23:59..you're in the head-to-head. Let's see if Sam Torrance is right.
0:24:02 > 0:24:03It is right, well done, Myra.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Now then, will it get you below the red line?
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Yes, it will!
0:24:11 > 0:24:16- APPLAUSE - Not only right, it's our best score of the round so far, Myra.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19- Very well done. 16 is your score. - That's a great answer.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21A terrific player, also captain as well, Sam Torrance.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25He holds the record for taking the longest time to answer a question on A Question Of Sport.
0:24:25 > 0:24:30- Took over nine minutes to answer one question.- Thinking or just chatting?
0:24:30 > 0:24:32A little bit of both, I suspect.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34He got it right, though.
0:24:34 > 0:24:39OK. Now then, Sophia. Sophia, 19 the high score.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41You have to score 7 or less.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44It's just one sport that I just cannot...
0:24:44 > 0:24:48bear. And I like watching my sports but golf...
0:24:48 > 0:24:50No idea.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Come on then, Sophia. What's it going to be?
0:24:53 > 0:24:58- Nick Faldo?- Nick Faldo, says Sophia. OK.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00Your red line is going to be a low one.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05Let's see if Nick Faldo gets you down below that red line.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Is it right? How many people said it?
0:25:10 > 0:25:11It is right.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18APPLAUSE
0:25:18 > 0:25:21- 24. But a correct answer!- Yeah.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24Takes your total up to 35. No bad score, that.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26It's not too high at all, but it just happens to be the high score.
0:25:28 > 0:25:29- But 35, not bad.- Sorry, Sophia.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32He's appeared in more Ryder Cups than any other player, Nick Faldo.
0:25:32 > 0:25:3411 Ryder Cups he's had.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36I said people at home might have done very well.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38There's quite a few pointless answers.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40I'll take you though the low-scorers before we do them.
0:25:40 > 0:25:433 points for Bernard Gallacher and Mark James, 2 for Peter Oosterhuis
0:25:43 > 0:25:46and 1 for Graeme McDowell, Brian Barnes and Peter Baker.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48Let's take a look at the pointless answers.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51Andrew Coltart, the Scot, was a pointless answer, Barry Lane.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54David Feherty, he's American now, just taken American citizenship.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56He was a pointless answer.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58David Gilford, played in two Ryder Cups.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01Michael King, played in the '70s. Paul Broadhurst.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03Also pointless answers for...
0:26:03 > 0:26:05Paul Casey, one of the more recent ones there.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07Ronan Rafferty, the Northern Irishman.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09Another very recent player here, Ross Fisher.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12You also would have got pointless answers for
0:26:12 > 0:26:14Brian Waites, David Howell,
0:26:14 > 0:26:17Gordon Brand Jnr, Gordon J Brand - they're not related -
0:26:17 > 0:26:19Howard Clark, Oliver Wilson, Paul Way,
0:26:19 > 0:26:22Phillip Price and Steven Richardson.
0:26:22 > 0:26:23Very well done if you said any of those.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25Thanks very much, Richard.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28So, at the end of our second round, the pair heading home
0:26:28 > 0:26:31with their high score of 35, I'm afraid, Sophia and James, it is you.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Well, it could have all been very different there, James.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36Could have been. We won the first round.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39We've won a quarter of Pointless, we've just got to come back
0:26:39 > 0:26:41and try and win the other three-quarters next time.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43Your maths is brilliant.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45I've never even thought of it like that,
0:26:45 > 0:26:47but that's exactly what you have to do.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49We look forward to seeing you next time.
0:26:49 > 0:26:50Thanks so much, Sophia and James.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53APPLAUSE
0:26:53 > 0:26:57But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for the head-to-head.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04Congratulations, Myra and Lorraine, Aaron and Rich,
0:27:04 > 0:27:08you're one step closer to the final and a chance to play for our jackpot which currently stands at...
0:27:10 > 0:27:11There it is.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14So, we have now to decide who gets to play for that,
0:27:14 > 0:27:16and to do that, you are going to go head-to-head.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19This time you are allowed to confer before you give your answer
0:27:19 > 0:27:22and the first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24You've both played incredibly well.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:27:32 > 0:27:36OK, here comes your first question, and it concerns...
0:27:40 > 0:27:41Italian cities. Richard.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44We're about to show you five images now of Italian cities.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47You just have to identify the most obscure. Very best of luck.
0:27:47 > 0:27:48OK, thanks very much.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50Let's reveal our five Italian cities,
0:27:50 > 0:27:51and here they come. We have got...
0:28:12 > 0:28:15There you go. Five Italian cities.
0:28:15 > 0:28:19Now, Myra and Lorraine, you played best throughout the show so far
0:28:19 > 0:28:20so you will go first.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24- (We get to talk about it.- We do.
0:28:25 > 0:28:26(I think D is Florence.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30(Well, I don't know. I know C, but I don't know D.
0:28:30 > 0:28:31(Yeah. You say it.)
0:28:34 > 0:28:38We're taking a chance. We think D is Florence.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40D, Florence, say Myra and Lorraine.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42D, Florence. So, Aaron and Rich...
0:28:44 > 0:28:47We think C's Venice. Um...
0:28:47 > 0:28:48We think B is Milan.
0:28:48 > 0:28:51I've been to Milan, and that looks like the cathedral
0:28:51 > 0:28:54on the right-hand side, but then, I didn't see that monument or that...
0:28:54 > 0:28:57- Oh, that's new. That's new. - New, is it? Oh, that's why.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59We think A could possibly be Sardinia.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02We're trying to think of Italian cities on the coast.
0:29:02 > 0:29:03- What do you think? - Take a gamble, go for A.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05You want to take a gamble.
0:29:05 > 0:29:08It's on your head, then. We'll go A, Sardinia.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11A, Sardinia, say Aaron and Rich. A, Sardinia.
0:29:11 > 0:29:16So Myra and Lorraine have said that Florence is D.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:29:22 > 0:29:23It's right.
0:29:29 > 0:29:32- Very well done indeed. 12 for Florence. - APPLAUSE
0:29:32 > 0:29:33Good answer.
0:29:34 > 0:29:41Now then, Aaron and Rich have said that A is Sardinia. A, Sardinia.
0:29:41 > 0:29:42Let's see if that's right
0:29:42 > 0:29:44and if it is, let's see how many people said that.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50Bad luck. I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer.
0:29:50 > 0:29:55Which means, Myra and Lorraine, after one question you are up 1-0.
0:29:55 > 0:29:59Very well played. Guys, that went badly for a number of reasons.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02Firstly, not only is that not Sardinia, Sardinia is not a city.
0:30:02 > 0:30:04Ah, there we go, then.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06It's an island and not only that, but B is Milan,
0:30:06 > 0:30:09and not only that, would have scored you 10 points.
0:30:09 > 0:30:10ALL: Ooh!
0:30:12 > 0:30:16- Gutted.- Unlucky. A, well, that's Mount Vesuvius in the background.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18And that's the bay of Naples.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20So A is Naples.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22Would have scored you too many points, would have scored you 26.
0:30:22 > 0:30:2510 points, as we said, for Milan.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27Would have won you the point.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30C is Venice, as I think everyone knew, but a very big scorer, that.
0:30:30 > 0:30:31Would have scored you 89.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35Best answer on the board, very much the best answer,
0:30:35 > 0:30:37in fact a pointless answer is E.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40It used to be the capital of the Western Roman Empire
0:30:40 > 0:30:42and it is Ravenna.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44Very well done if you said that.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46That's the Basilica of San Vitale, there.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49Congratulations if you said that at home.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52Thanks very much indeed. So, here comes your second question.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54Aaron and Rich, you get to answer it first
0:30:54 > 0:30:56but you have to win it to stay in the game.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58Here it comes. It concerns...
0:31:02 > 0:31:05Film titles with 12-letter words. Richard.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07We're going to show you five films now,
0:31:07 > 0:31:09all of which have one 12-letter word in their title.
0:31:09 > 0:31:13We've missed out that 12-letter word from each. Can you fill in the gaps?
0:31:13 > 0:31:14Good luck.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17Thanks very much. Let's reveal our five film titles.
0:31:17 > 0:31:19And here they are, we have...
0:31:31 > 0:31:33I'll read those all one last time.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46There we are. Aaron and Rich, you'll go first.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52- Yeah, we know them all, actually. - We think we know them all.
0:31:52 > 0:31:54But we're debating which one to go for.
0:31:55 > 0:31:59Right, we're going to say the one above bottom. Kindergarten Cop.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02OK, one up from the bottom. Kindergarten Cop.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05OK. Now then, Myra and Lorraine.
0:32:05 > 0:32:09Do you want to talk us through the board and fill in all our blanks?
0:32:09 > 0:32:11We think the first one's LA Confidential.
0:32:11 > 0:32:15The second one, I can't pronounce. Lorraine knows that one.
0:32:15 > 0:32:19Bride Of Frankenstein and Miss Congeniality, the bottom one.
0:32:19 > 0:32:25- We're going for the second one. - I think it's An Inconvenient Truth.
0:32:25 > 0:32:27An Inconvenient Truth.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30So we have Kindergarten Cop and An Inconvenient Truth.
0:32:30 > 0:32:33Let's see. Kindergarten Cop, how many people said that? Is it right?
0:32:36 > 0:32:37It is right.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44APPLAUSE
0:32:46 > 0:32:4820 for Kindergarten Cop.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50Myra and Lorraine have gone for An Inconvenient Truth,
0:32:50 > 0:32:52let's see how many people said it.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55If this wins it for you, you will go straight through to the final.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00It's right, An Inconvenient Truth.
0:33:00 > 0:33:01Has to beat 20, though.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06- And it does! Very well done indeed. 13. - APPLAUSE
0:33:08 > 0:33:11Which means, Myra and Lorraine, after only two questions,
0:33:11 > 0:33:14- you are straight through to the final, 2-0.- Very well done.
0:33:14 > 0:33:15Well played, Myra and Lorraine.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18Yes, Al Gore's documentary about climate change.
0:33:18 > 0:33:22Won the Oscar for best documentary in 2007. Unlucky there, guys.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24I suspect you knew all of them as well. Let's fill in the board.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27We've already heard the correct answers, but let's look at the scores.
0:33:27 > 0:33:30LA Confidential, quite a big scorer, actually.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32Would have scored you...
0:33:32 > 0:33:3443 points.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37Bride Of Frankenstein, an even bigger scorer.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40That would have scored you the most on the board, 62.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42And Miss Congeniality.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44Would have scored you 48.
0:33:44 > 0:33:48So An Inconvenient Truth was the best answer on the board. Couldn't have been beaten.
0:33:48 > 0:33:52Thanks very much indeed. So the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:33:52 > 0:33:56I'm afraid it's Aaron and Rich. You played so well up to this point.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59And you had a nightmare on Milan.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02- I didn't recognise the statue, and...- You were at the cathedral, though,
0:34:02 > 0:34:05you might have been standing on the other side of the statue...
0:34:05 > 0:34:07I even remember the name of the cathedral, unfortunately...
0:34:07 > 0:34:11- Or, maybe you were just drunk. - Yeah.- Anyway, listen.
0:34:11 > 0:34:15We look forward to seeing you again. If you can play as well as you've done today next time,
0:34:15 > 0:34:17then I'm sure you will go one notch better.
0:34:17 > 0:34:20Thanks very much, Aaron and Rich. Great contestants.
0:34:20 > 0:34:22APPLAUSE
0:34:22 > 0:34:24- Sorry.- That's all right!
0:34:24 > 0:34:26But for Myra and Lorraine, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32Congratulations, Myra and Lorraine,
0:34:32 > 0:34:34you've fought off all the competition and you have won
0:34:34 > 0:34:37our coveted Pointless trophy, so many congratulations.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45You now have the chance to win our Pointless jackpot,
0:34:45 > 0:34:47and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at...
0:34:49 > 0:34:50There it is. Well done.
0:34:50 > 0:34:54- So, you now have something else to talk about on the bus journey.- Yes.
0:34:54 > 0:34:58- You're going to have to take the trophy out onto the bus and show everyone.- Good idea.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00You've done so well.
0:35:00 > 0:35:022-0 in the head-to-head, but also the round before,
0:35:02 > 0:35:04in our second round, that golf round.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06You blew everyone else out of the water.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08That was incredibly impressive.
0:35:08 > 0:35:12Anything you'd particularly like to see come up in this last round?
0:35:12 > 0:35:17- Films?- Yeah, '50s and '60s show musicals. Musical movies.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20- '60s music.- So...- OK.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23Well, as always, you get to choose your category.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26You have four to choose from, and those choices are...
0:35:38 > 0:35:40- Go on.- Yeah, we've had a discussion
0:35:40 > 0:35:43and we're going to go for Post-war Literature Prizes.
0:35:43 > 0:35:45Post-war Literature Prizes. OK. Richard.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48Good luck, Myra and Lorraine. Here are your three options.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50We are looking for the name of anyone who has won
0:35:50 > 0:35:52the Queen's Gold Medal for Poetry
0:35:52 > 0:35:56from when it became the Queen's Gold Medal in 1952, all the way through to 2013.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59We're looking for anyone who has won the Nobel Prize for Literature.
0:35:59 > 0:36:02All the way through from 1946 to 2013,
0:36:02 > 0:36:05or we're looking for any writer or composer who has won
0:36:05 > 0:36:09the Pulitzer Prize for Drama for any play or musical written by an American,
0:36:09 > 0:36:13and that's from 1946, again, all the way through to 2013.
0:36:13 > 0:36:14So the Queen's Gold Medal for poetry,
0:36:14 > 0:36:19Nobel Prize for Literature, Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Very, best of luck.
0:36:19 > 0:36:20Thanks very much indeed.
0:36:20 > 0:36:24As always, you've got a minute to come up with three answers.
0:36:24 > 0:36:25To win that jackpot,
0:36:25 > 0:36:28all you have to do is find one pointless answer among those three.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31Remember the answers you provide can come from any of these categories
0:36:31 > 0:36:34and how you spread them across the categories is entirely down to you.
0:36:34 > 0:36:35Are you ready?
0:36:35 > 0:36:40- Yes.- As we'll ever be.- OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42There they are. Your time starts now.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45Right, which one are you going for? Because I don't know any of them so it's all on to you.
0:36:45 > 0:36:50- The Queen's Gold Medal for Poetry, we could guess Philip Larkin.- Yes.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52But we could... I know...
0:36:52 > 0:36:57for sure, Nobel Prize for Literature, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59- We'll go for that.- Um...
0:37:00 > 0:37:02I should be able to come up with one of those.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05- Pulitzer Prize for Drama. - He said something about American.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08Yeah, that's because it's an American prize.
0:37:08 > 0:37:10Um...
0:37:10 > 0:37:12- Right, so...- Gosh, gosh...
0:37:14 > 0:37:20- Post-war...- Get back in there! - What was the year? For all of them?
0:37:20 > 0:37:24- What was the year? - '46. Post-war.- Sorry. '46.
0:37:26 > 0:37:27OK. Um...
0:37:27 > 0:37:30- '40s, '50s? I can't think of any. - There might be somebody.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34- Ten seconds left.- So what are we doing?- I don't know if it's '46.
0:37:34 > 0:37:38- Let's go with James Michener.- Right.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41Um... No...
0:37:41 > 0:37:43Let's not.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46OK, that is your time up. I now need your three...
0:37:46 > 0:37:48I need your three answers now. What are you going to give me?
0:37:48 > 0:37:50And will you say which category they're in.
0:37:50 > 0:37:55- Nobel Prize for Literature, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn.- OK.
0:37:55 > 0:38:00- I think we're going to have a guess at the Queen's Gold Medal and go with Philip Larkin.- Philip Larkin.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02And...
0:38:02 > 0:38:05Another Nobel Prize for Literature,
0:38:05 > 0:38:08I think we're going to go with James Michener.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10Of those three,
0:38:10 > 0:38:13which do you think is your best bet at a pointless answer?
0:38:13 > 0:38:16I guess we'll put Solzhenitsyn last.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18Solzhenitsyn we'll put last. OK.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20And Philip Larkin's a guess, so we'll go first with him.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22Philip Larkin first so Michener in the middle.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25OK, let's pop those up on the board in that order, and here they are.
0:38:25 > 0:38:29We have got Philip Larkin, James Michener
0:38:29 > 0:38:32and Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35Well, very, very best of luck. Your first answer was Philip Larkin.
0:38:35 > 0:38:39This was the one you thought was probably least likely to be pointless.
0:38:39 > 0:38:43If it is pointless and you win that jackpot of £1,000,
0:38:43 > 0:38:46what would you do with your share of that, Myra?
0:38:46 > 0:38:48I would give something to my family
0:38:48 > 0:38:52and have a few more really good games of bingo.
0:38:52 > 0:38:53Excellent. Lorraine?
0:38:54 > 0:38:58Well, I said I would take a close group of friends on a bus trip.
0:39:00 > 0:39:04- I'd like to take them all to the Beamish...- Steam Museum!
0:39:04 > 0:39:06- Beamish Museum, yes, near Newcastle.- Lovely.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09County Durham, yes, fantastic.
0:39:09 > 0:39:11So, we were looking for, in this instance,
0:39:11 > 0:39:14we were looking for winners of the Queen's Gold Medal for Poetry,
0:39:14 > 0:39:16and you said Philip Larkin.
0:39:16 > 0:39:20Let's find out if that's right and, if it is, how many of our 100 people said Philip Larkin.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24It's a good guess.
0:39:24 > 0:39:27Philip Larkin, off to a great start there.
0:39:27 > 0:39:28If this goes all the way down to zero,
0:39:28 > 0:39:30you will leave here with £1,000.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32Down it goes, into single figures, still going...
0:39:32 > 0:39:35- Down to 2, look at that. - APPLAUSE
0:39:35 > 0:39:36Not bad for a guess!
0:39:40 > 0:39:44Not bad for a guess. 2, it scored you, 2 for Philip Larkin.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46- Not pointless, though, so only two more chances.- Big name in Hull.
0:39:46 > 0:39:50- He's in Hull parking station. - Of course.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52Well, two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:39:52 > 0:39:55Your second answer was James Michener.
0:39:55 > 0:40:00Now, in this case, you submitted him as a winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03If this is correct and it goes all the way down to zero,
0:40:03 > 0:40:04you leave here with £1,000.
0:40:04 > 0:40:07Let's see how many of our 100 people said James Michener.
0:40:10 > 0:40:12Oh, bad luck!
0:40:12 > 0:40:14I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer
0:40:14 > 0:40:19so everything is now riding on your third and final answer, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22Now, you thought this was probably your best shot at a pointless answer.
0:40:22 > 0:40:26- I think you're pretty sure it's correct.- I think so.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28It just has to go down to zero, and if it does that,
0:40:28 > 0:40:30you will leave here with £1,000.
0:40:30 > 0:40:33Let's find out if Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn is a pointless answer
0:40:33 > 0:40:35for a winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39It's right.
0:40:39 > 0:40:43Your first answer, Philip Larkin, took us all the way down to 2.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46Your second answer, James Michener, was an incorrect answer,
0:40:46 > 0:40:48but this, your final answer, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn,
0:40:48 > 0:40:52- down to 1! Oh, bad luck! - APPLAUSE
0:40:57 > 0:41:00Out of your three answers, two of them were absolutely fantastic.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02And so close!
0:41:02 > 0:41:04Two brilliant answers there.
0:41:04 > 0:41:05I'm so sorry, though,
0:41:05 > 0:41:07you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer,
0:41:07 > 0:41:10which means you don't win today's jackpot of £1,000.
0:41:10 > 0:41:11That will roll over onto the next show.
0:41:11 > 0:41:14But you have been fabulous the whole way, throughout the show,
0:41:14 > 0:41:17and you do get to take home a Pointless trophy each, so very well done for that.
0:41:17 > 0:41:19- Thank you.- Thank you. - APPLAUSE
0:41:24 > 0:41:26- That's unlucky, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:41:26 > 0:41:28There's going to be names on all of these lists
0:41:28 > 0:41:30you know as well. It's so tough in that 60 seconds.
0:41:30 > 0:41:33Let's take a look at the pointless answers in the different categories.
0:41:33 > 0:41:36Lots of poets on the list. James Fenton, you could have had.
0:41:36 > 0:41:37You could have had Robert Graves.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40Siegfried Sassoon. You could have had Stephen Spender,
0:41:40 > 0:41:42you could have had DJ Enright, Derek Walcott,
0:41:42 > 0:41:45you could have had Fleur Adcock, Jo Shapcott, all sorts of names.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48In fact, anyone apart from Betjeman, Larkin, who scored 2,
0:41:48 > 0:41:50Ted Hughes scored 2 and Stevie Smith scored 1.
0:41:50 > 0:41:54Anyone else who won that medal, if you said them, you would have just won the money.
0:41:54 > 0:41:58Let's take a look at the next category. Nobel Prize for Literature.
0:41:58 > 0:41:59Some big names here.
0:41:59 > 0:42:01- Oh!- Bertrand Russell, you could have had.
0:42:01 > 0:42:04Gabriel Garcia Marquez. You could have had Harold Pinter.
0:42:04 > 0:42:07You could have had John Steinbeck, also could have had Albert Camus.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10You could have had Dario Fo, you could have had Derek Walcott
0:42:10 > 0:42:13again, he's been a pointless answer in both of those categories.
0:42:13 > 0:42:17Gunter Grass, Hermann Hesse, JM Coetzee, Jean-Paul Sartre was a pointless answer.
0:42:17 > 0:42:19Very well done if you said any of those.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22And finally, the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25David Mamet, who won for Glengarry Glen Ross.
0:42:25 > 0:42:27You could have had Edward Albee, who's won it three times.
0:42:27 > 0:42:29You could have had Eugene O'Neill
0:42:29 > 0:42:32and you could have had Marvin Hamlisch, who won it for A Chorus Line.
0:42:32 > 0:42:34So very well done if you got some of those at home.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36Terrific play, though, in those three answers
0:42:36 > 0:42:39and very, very unlucky, I think, not to get a pointless answer there.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42Unfortunately, goodbye to you, Myra and Lorraine,
0:42:42 > 0:42:45It's been fabulous having you, and you have been brilliant contestants.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47Thank you both so much for playing. Myra and Lorraine.
0:42:47 > 0:42:50- Thank you! We've had a lovely day. - APPLAUSE
0:42:50 > 0:42:53Well, sadly, Myra and Lorraine didn't win our jackpot today
0:42:53 > 0:42:55which means it rolls over onto the next show,
0:42:55 > 0:42:57when we will be playing for £2,000.
0:43:00 > 0:43:02Join us next time to see if someone can win it.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:04 > 0:43:05And it's goodbye from me, goodbye.
