0:00:15 > 0:00:17APPLAUSE
0:00:20 > 0:00:21Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:21 > 0:00:25Hello. I'm Alexander Armstrong, and a very warm welcome to Pointless,
0:00:25 > 0:00:27the show where obvious answers mean nothing
0:00:27 > 0:00:31and obscure answers mean everything. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34And couple number one.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37Hi, I'm Paul. This is my fiancee Lucy, and we're from Essex.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40- Couple number two. - Hi, I'm David from London,
0:00:40 > 0:00:43and this is my dad, who's also David, from Largs in Scotland.
0:00:43 > 0:00:44Couple number three.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46I'm Gabby, this is my best friend Millie.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49- We're students from Cheshire. - And couple number four.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51I'm Paul, this is Mike, and we're from Glasgow.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54And these are today's contestants.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Thanks very much. We'll find out more about you throughout the show,
0:00:59 > 0:01:02so that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05His autobiography, Osmosis, will be available to buy
0:01:05 > 0:01:07as soon as he does something interesting.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10- It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.- Hiya.
0:01:10 > 0:01:11Hi, everybody.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Hiya.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17- How are you?- I'm very well, thank you.- Excellent.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20A familiar line-up - we've got three returning pairs.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Lucy and Paul covered themselves in the most glory last time.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26They did very, very well. Went out on a tough head-to-head
0:01:26 > 0:01:29against our two head teachers, Brian and Adrian.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31It's going to be very tough to beat them, I suspect.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34Mike and Paul - knocked out in the first round.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37Second round, Millie and Gabby. Millie, a politics student,
0:01:37 > 0:01:39got knocked out on a politics question,
0:01:39 > 0:01:43which was awkward. She has a lot to do to make up for that today.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45But it should be an absolute cracker, I think.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49- Lucy and Paul were very strong last time.- Thanks, Richard.
0:01:49 > 0:01:50Now, as always,
0:01:50 > 0:01:53all of today's questions have been asked to 100 people,
0:01:53 > 0:01:55and our contestants are on the hunt
0:01:55 > 0:01:57for one of those all-important Pointless answers -
0:01:57 > 0:01:59an answer none of our 100 people gave -
0:01:59 > 0:02:02and each time that happens we add £250 to the jackpot.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Brian and Adrian won the jackpot last time
0:02:04 > 0:02:08so today's jackpot starts off back at £1,000.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18Remember, the pair with the highest score at the end of the round
0:02:18 > 0:02:20will be eliminated.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22Our first category today is...
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Science. Can you all decide in your pairs
0:02:26 > 0:02:29who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Whoever's going first please step up to the podium.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37OK, let's find out what the question is.
0:02:37 > 0:02:43We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:02:47 > 0:02:52Chemical elements with a vowel as the second letter of their name.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55We're looking for the full name of any chemical element
0:02:55 > 0:02:57in the periodic table as of January 2014
0:02:57 > 0:03:00which has the second letter as a vowel - A, E, I, O, U.
0:03:00 > 0:03:01We won't accept Y.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05So any full name which has a vowel as the second letter. Best of luck.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Thanks very much indeed. OK.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11So, Paul, welcome back. Ohh!
0:03:11 > 0:03:15- Ousted by Liza Minnelli.- I'm sure she's a great fan of this show.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18- Unfortunately, I'm not a great fan of hers...- Ohh!
0:03:18 > 0:03:21She is a big fan. She is a big fan. She will be watching.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24OK, so, Paul, right, Chemistry.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27How do we feel about that?
0:03:27 > 0:03:30Not brilliant, but I've think I've got one I heard on this show
0:03:30 > 0:03:33so I'm hoping it is right and I can use it again.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35I'm going to go for curium.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38Curium. Curium. Sounds good. Let's see if it's right.
0:03:38 > 0:03:42Let's see how many people said it if it is.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44It's right.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52That's a great answer, Paul. Very well done.
0:03:52 > 0:03:53Curium scores you three.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Good start to the round.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00Good start, Paul. Picked up where you left off last time.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03The only chemical element named after two people - Marie and Pierre Curie.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07- Thanks. David A, great to have you here. From Largs.- Yes.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10What do you get up to in Largs?
0:04:10 > 0:04:12I do lawn bowls, indoor bowling,
0:04:12 > 0:04:14play snooker one night a week,
0:04:14 > 0:04:18but my big hobby is, I'm a member of Millport Curling Club,
0:04:18 > 0:04:19- so I'm a curler.- You're a curler?
0:04:19 > 0:04:23Which is your role? Are you a sweeper or...
0:04:23 > 0:04:27I play lead, so in the lead, I play the first two stones
0:04:27 > 0:04:30and then sweep for everybody else.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34But it's a good game. It is also part of my other passion,
0:04:34 > 0:04:37which is malt whisky, so the two of them go together.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Excellent. Now, then, David, Chemistry.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Yes. I've got a few.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47I think I'll go for rutherfordium.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50Rutherfordium. Sounds good to me. Let's see if it's right.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53How many people said rutherfordium?
0:04:54 > 0:04:56It's right!
0:04:58 > 0:05:02Well, three is our low score at the moment.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04Rutherfordium taking us down towards it... Oh, 5!
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Very well done indeed.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11What a start to the round - 3 and 5.
0:05:11 > 0:05:12Well played, David A.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15Named after Ernest Rutherford, the British physicist.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18They say he had such a loud voice he would make the apparatus shake
0:05:18 > 0:05:21as his students were doing experiments, they had to put up
0:05:21 > 0:05:24- a sign saying, "Talk softly, please." - Good stuff. Now, Millie,
0:05:24 > 0:05:25- welcome back.- Hi.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29- Let's not talk too much about... - It's a sore subject!
0:05:29 > 0:05:31..William Roosevelt.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34We'll draw a veil over that.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Anyway, remind us what you do.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38I'm a student.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41- I study something in Edinburgh. - That's right.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Philosophy and, um...
0:05:44 > 0:05:47- Politics.- Politics, that's right. Yeah.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49- Chemistry.- Well,
0:05:49 > 0:05:52I got an A-star in chemistry. Let's mention that
0:05:52 > 0:05:54so I don't seem so stupid,
0:05:54 > 0:05:57so I am going to go for a curve ball, I need to redeem myself,
0:05:57 > 0:06:00and I'm going to stay einsteinium.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Einsteinium says Millie. Let's see if that's right.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07It's right.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11Well, 5 our high score, 3 our low.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Let's see where einsteinium ends up.
0:06:13 > 0:06:154 - right in the middle!
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Very well done indeed, Millie.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Einsteinium.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Well played, Millie. That's a relief, I bet.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28You should change degrees. Named after Steve Einstein, of course(!)
0:06:28 > 0:06:31LAUGHTER
0:06:31 > 0:06:34- Thanks very much. Now, then, Mike.- Hello.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37- Mike, Round One last time. - A wee bit unlucky, I think.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Yes. A little bit unlucky.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Remind us what you do, Mike.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44I'm in the process of setting up a business with my wife.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46- It's early days.- OK.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49And you and Paul met in a gift shop?
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Yeah, we used to work in a gift shop together.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Worked there for about two-and-a-half years.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57What about an art shop? An art supply shop? That'd be fun.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00I used to work in an art supply shop many moons ago.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03- So you know the ropes?- Yeah, but it's the practical side of it,
0:07:03 > 0:07:05the doing, that I would rather do, than the selling side of things.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08Mike, what are you going to go for?
0:07:08 > 0:07:12I'm going to take a gamble, but I'm going to go for meitnerium.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15- Minerium?- Meitnerium.- Meitnerium?
0:07:15 > 0:07:18- M-E-I-T...- ..Nerium?- Yeah.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20M... Meitnerium.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Meitnerium. Let's see if it's right
0:07:23 > 0:07:27and if it is, let's see how many people said it. Good luck.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29It's right!
0:07:29 > 0:07:31I think this is going to be a brilliant answer, Mike.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35Again, 5 our high score, 3 our low...
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Meitnerium is pointless!
0:07:37 > 0:07:39CHEERING
0:07:39 > 0:07:43Very well done, Mike. That adds £250 to today's jackpot.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46Takes the total up to £1,250.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48It scores you 0
0:07:48 > 0:07:51and earns you the respect of everyone.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53That's terrific play.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55That's the advantage of coming back twice on this show -
0:07:55 > 0:07:58you can get knocked out so early then come back with something like that.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02Named after Lise Meitner. The should call in MIKE-nerium from now on
0:08:02 > 0:08:04in honour of that answer.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06MIKE-nerium. Thank you.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at the scores.
0:08:09 > 0:08:120 is the best score. Very well done indeed, Mike.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14That puts you and Paul in pole position.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Then we travel up to 3, Paul and Lucy,
0:08:16 > 0:08:194, Millie and Gabby,
0:08:19 > 0:08:23- and 5, David A...- I know!- David G's got a lot of catching up to do!
0:08:23 > 0:08:26Best of luck with that, David G.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28We'll see what happens in the next pass.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31We're going to come back down the line.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:08:34 > 0:08:37OK. We're looking for the name of a chemical element
0:08:37 > 0:08:40which has a vowel as its second letter.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Paul C.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45Oh, well, you are set up there!
0:08:45 > 0:08:48You are set up right up until you give your answer, Paul!
0:08:48 > 0:08:51Remind us what you do, Paul.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53I work in a call centre,
0:08:53 > 0:08:56so the periodic table isn't exactly my specialty.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58How long have you done the call centre?
0:08:58 > 0:09:01Since graduating, so seven months now.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03- And you've enjoyed it?- Uh-huh...
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Yeah. Let's go yes.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08We'll go yes. How long are your shifts?
0:09:08 > 0:09:11- Not that bad. Only eight hours. - Eight hours?- Yeah.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Now, you're on 0, absolutely 0.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15If you can score 4 or less,
0:09:15 > 0:09:19- you won't even trouble the high scoreboard.- Uh-huh.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21I don't think that's going to happen,
0:09:21 > 0:09:23but we'll go with what I know.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25So I'm going to go with helium.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Helium? OK.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29There's your red line.
0:09:29 > 0:09:34Let's see how far down the column you can get with helium.
0:09:36 > 0:09:37It's right.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Oh, 39!
0:09:45 > 0:09:4839 for helium takes your total up to 39.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51Yeah, a big score but a correct answer.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53It's the only non metal to end "I-U-M".
0:09:53 > 0:09:58Thank you. Now, Gabby. Now, listen, Gabby, we have a goal.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01We have a high score of 39.
0:10:01 > 0:10:02You're on 4.
0:10:02 > 0:10:0434 or less is your target.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08But let's just put that to one side for now.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10- You are studying in Sheffield.- Yes.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14- Remind us what you're studying. - French and business management.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Of the two, be honest, business management or French,
0:10:17 > 0:10:19which is the one that quickens your heartbeat?
0:10:19 > 0:10:21I've got to say French.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23I've got to stay loyal to my language.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26That's good. Because French is much more fun.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29OK, how about chemistry? When did you last learn chemistry?
0:10:29 > 0:10:31- GCSEs?- Mm-hm.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34- So about four years ago.- OK.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36I'm going to say iodine.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Iodine.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40OK, iodine. You want to score 34 or less.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43Helium scored 39. Let's see what iodine scores.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46Here is your red line. If you get below that
0:10:46 > 0:10:47you're in Round Two.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51It's right, obviously.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56You've done it! Look at that.
0:10:56 > 0:10:5810!
0:11:00 > 0:11:0410 takes your total up to 14. You are through to the next round.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07Very good answer. Well played. Safely through. Starts with two vowels.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09- Very nice, isn't it?- So it does.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13All right. Yes. David G. David G, we come to you.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17- David, welcome.- Thank you. - You no longer live in Largs.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Did you live in Largs when you were little?
0:11:19 > 0:11:20No, I didn't.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22At the time, I lived further down the coast.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25I grew up in Scotland but have been in London for a long time.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27OK. What do you do in London?
0:11:27 > 0:11:29I'm an HR manager.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Right, you are. What do you get up to?
0:11:31 > 0:11:33What are your hobbies?
0:11:33 > 0:11:36The main thing I like doing is going to the theatre.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38I go probably two or three times a week.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Excellent. Good for you. You're on 5.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43The high score is Paul and Mike, on 39.
0:11:43 > 0:11:4533 or less.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48I've got some ones that are risky
0:11:48 > 0:11:50and this one is, I think, not quite as risky
0:11:50 > 0:11:53but I hope it's risky enough to get me down below
0:11:53 > 0:11:55so I'm going to say beryllium.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58Beryllium. Sounds like a great answer. OK.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Here's your red line.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Get below that, not too low,
0:12:03 > 0:12:05you are through to the next round.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08Let's see how many people said beryllium.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15You've done it, David G! Very well done.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Look at that! 11.
0:12:17 > 0:12:2011. 16 your total.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26It's six times stronger than steel but lighter than aluminium.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30Interesting. Now, Lucy. Lucy!
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Phew! Your turn. How many of your best answers
0:12:32 > 0:12:34have been taken by other people?
0:12:34 > 0:12:37A few, actually. Einsteinium was one of them.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40But I've got a few.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44I'm not sure if I'm pronouncing them right
0:12:44 > 0:12:46so lawrencium and euro...europium.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49The one I'm going to go for, cos I'm not sure about them,
0:12:49 > 0:12:51is californium.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53- Californium.- Yeah.- Californium.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56OK. When did you last do science, Lucy?
0:12:56 > 0:13:01- GCSEs, so over ten years ago. - Be honest,
0:13:01 > 0:13:04- did you learn about californium from Pointless?- I did.- So did I.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08In fact, I think I learnt about nearly all my chemistry
0:13:08 > 0:13:09from Pointless.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12OK. There's your red line. If you get below that,
0:13:12 > 0:13:15you waltz through to Round Two. Let's find out how many people
0:13:15 > 0:13:16said californium.
0:13:18 > 0:13:19It's right.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25And you're through to the next round.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27That's a great answer - 3!
0:13:27 > 0:13:30You equal Paul's brilliant answer.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Takes your total up to 6.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37Well played, Lucy. 6 points - very impressive.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40Let's take a look at some of the pointless answers.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44Try and remember some of these, help us get our Nobel prize.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47You could have had berkelium, darmstadtium.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50There's europium - which is what you were going towards.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52It's good you didn't go for it
0:13:52 > 0:13:55because we'd have had all sorts of trouble with pronunciations.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Livermorium would have been a pointless answer.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00There's meitnerium, or MIKE-nerium,
0:14:00 > 0:14:02roentgenium, named after Roentgen.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05That would have been a pointless answer.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08You could have had...
0:14:08 > 0:14:10There's a few others as well.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13You could have had copernicium, holmium.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16You could have had lanthanum. All of those were pointless answers.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19- Very well done if you said any of those.- Thank you, Richard.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23So at the end of our first round, the pair heading home with their
0:14:23 > 0:14:26high score of 39 - not that high... I'm so sorry,
0:14:26 > 0:14:27you never had your chance to shine.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Anyway, it's been lovely having you on the show.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31I'm sorry we're sending you home so soon.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34You've been great contestants, Paul and Mike!
0:14:37 > 0:14:39But for the remaining pairs, it's time for Round Two.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48So, three pairs remain. At the end of this round,
0:14:48 > 0:14:51we'll say goodbye to another pair in time for our head-to-head round.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56Our category for Round Two is...
0:14:58 > 0:15:01Famous People. Can you all decide
0:15:01 > 0:15:04who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12OK. And the question concerns...
0:15:16 > 0:15:19People born in 1974.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21- Richard.- On each pass,
0:15:21 > 0:15:23we'll show you six clues to people born in 1974.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26You just need to give us the most obscure answer, please.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29There will be 12 in all to have a go at at home. Best of luck.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Thanks. OK, so we're looking for the names
0:15:32 > 0:15:35of these famous people, all of whom were born in 1974,
0:15:35 > 0:15:37and here is our first board of six.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04I'll read those all one last time.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29There we are.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33Six famous people born in 1974.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Lucy.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Wow.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41I don't really know any of them,
0:16:41 > 0:16:45so I'm going to go for Croydon-born supermodel
0:16:45 > 0:16:48associated with the "waif" look
0:16:48 > 0:16:50and go for Kate Moss.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53Kate Moss. Let's see if that's right, and if it is,
0:16:53 > 0:16:56let's see how many people said Kate Moss.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58It's right.
0:17:01 > 0:17:0233.
0:17:07 > 0:17:0833 for Kate Moss.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12Yeah. A portrait of her by Lucian Freud sold for 3.5 million
0:17:12 > 0:17:16- in 2005.- Thanks very much indeed. OK.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Now, David G.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21OK. This is a bit tougher than I thought it might be
0:17:21 > 0:17:25because there are fewer people born in 1974
0:17:25 > 0:17:27than I remember
0:17:27 > 0:17:31but I think I might know the last one of those,
0:17:31 > 0:17:35who won the Bafta awards. I think that might be
0:17:35 > 0:17:37the wonderful actress Olivia Colman.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40Olivia Colman says David G. Let's see if that's right
0:17:40 > 0:17:43and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47It is right.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56Very well done indeed! 4 for Olivia Colman.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01You're absolutely right. She's a wonderful actress.
0:18:01 > 0:18:02It is a tough board.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05She's a wonderful actress but it is a tough board.
0:18:05 > 0:18:09Now, Gabby, you're the last person to have this tough board.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Do you think you can talk us through any of it?
0:18:11 > 0:18:13Absolutely not!
0:18:13 > 0:18:16I did think Olivia Colman might be right
0:18:16 > 0:18:19but I'm going to have to take a guess at the Spice Girl
0:18:19 > 0:18:24and I'm going to have to go with Mel C.
0:18:24 > 0:18:28Mel C. Let's see if that's right and if it is,
0:18:28 > 0:18:31let's see how many people said Mel C.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36It's absolutely right, very well done.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40- 23!- Oh!
0:18:44 > 0:18:47- 23 for Mel C.- Well played, Gabby.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Everyone did very well to get through that round.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52Let's fill in the rest of the board.
0:18:52 > 0:18:53They're all low scorers.
0:18:53 > 0:18:57The Australian cricket captain - who would you go for for that?
0:18:57 > 0:19:01- Ricky Ponting.- Ricky Ponting would have scored you 5 points.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05The US sprinter, it's tough, well done at home if you said
0:19:05 > 0:19:07Maurice Greene, would have scored you 2 points.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09The wine expert - he's been on Pointless Celebrities -
0:19:09 > 0:19:13he's lovely, Olly Smith, would have scored you 1 point.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16Thank you. We're halfway through the round.
0:19:16 > 0:19:184 the best score of that pass.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20Very well done indeed, David G.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23Then up to 23, where we find Gabby and Millie.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Then up to 33, Lucy and Paul.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28Going against the grain there, slightly, as the high scorers
0:19:28 > 0:19:31but, Paul, it's in your hands. Can the second players
0:19:31 > 0:19:33please step up to the podium?
0:19:36 > 0:19:39OK. We're going to put six more famous people up on the board
0:19:39 > 0:19:41and here they are. We've got...
0:20:05 > 0:20:07I'll read those all one last time.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32Remember, we're looking for the names of these famous people,
0:20:32 > 0:20:35all of whom were born in 1974. Millie, you're on 23.
0:20:35 > 0:20:36If you can score 9 or less,
0:20:36 > 0:20:39you'll avoid becoming the new high scorers.
0:20:39 > 0:20:43Well, I know one of them, but I don't know his first name
0:20:43 > 0:20:46and I've learnt my lesson, so I'm not going to go for him,
0:20:46 > 0:20:50I'm going to have to go for the tennis player. It's obvious, risky,
0:20:50 > 0:20:52but I'm going to say Tim Henman.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Tim Henman, says Millie.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56OK. There's your red line.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59If you get below that red line, you are in the head-to-head.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02Let's see how many people said Tim Henman.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04It's right.
0:21:08 > 0:21:0948.
0:21:10 > 0:21:1448 for Tim Henman. 71 your total.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17Yes. It's going to be a very interesting second pass now.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21Four-time semifinalist, also won an Olympic silver medal in doubles.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25Thank you, Richard. Now, David A, there you are on 4.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28- Yeah.- 71's a high score,
0:21:28 > 0:21:31so 66 or less gets you into the head-to-head.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33I think I know two.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37One of them will be particularly high, I would think,
0:21:37 > 0:21:40so I think I'll go for the second-bottom one.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43The architect who's presented Restoration Man
0:21:43 > 0:21:45and The Empty Homes Show
0:21:45 > 0:21:47I think is George Clarke.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49George Clarke says David A.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52If you can get below that red line with George Clarke,
0:21:52 > 0:21:54you're in the head-to-head. Let's find out if it's right.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58Let's see how many people said George Clarke.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00It's right.
0:22:00 > 0:22:01You are in the head-to-head.
0:22:05 > 0:22:071!
0:22:07 > 0:22:091, David A.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11That is fantastic. Takes your total up to 5.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13Very impressive indeed.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16Blimey! The Davids are pretty handy, aren't they?
0:22:16 > 0:22:19Two rounds in a row.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Phenomenal answers. Very well played.
0:22:21 > 0:22:25OK. Paul. Paul, little bit of pressure on you here.
0:22:25 > 0:22:2871 the high score, you're on 33,
0:22:28 > 0:22:30so 37 or less sees you through
0:22:30 > 0:22:34but you need to find a good low-scoring answer
0:22:34 > 0:22:36on that board from what is left.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38How do you feel about it?
0:22:38 > 0:22:41I know one for definite, which is the played Jay Gatsby,
0:22:41 > 0:22:43which would be Leonardo DiCaprio.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45I'm unconvinced that'll be less than 30,
0:22:45 > 0:22:48so I'd rather have a gamble. I don't know if it's right
0:22:48 > 0:22:51and I don't know if I've got the name right,
0:22:51 > 0:22:54the stand-up German comedian, I only know one, there's not many,
0:22:54 > 0:22:56so I'm going to go for Ralph Honigstein.
0:22:56 > 0:22:57- Ralph Honigstein.- Yeah.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59OK. Ralph Honigstein.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03There is your red line. Let's see if you are right and if you are,
0:23:03 > 0:23:05let's see how many people said it.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07Oh, no!
0:23:07 > 0:23:10I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer, Paul,
0:23:10 > 0:23:12which means you score the maximum of 100 points.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15Takes your total up to 133.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17Yeah, really sorry, Paul, there's more than one German comedian
0:23:17 > 0:23:20but there's only one German comedy ambassador born in 1974
0:23:20 > 0:23:22and it's the brilliant Henning Wehn,
0:23:22 > 0:23:24who we've seen on all sorts of TV shows.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27Henning's brilliant. Would have scored you 8 points.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Even worse than that, Jay Gatsby,
0:23:29 > 0:23:30played by Leonardo DiCaprio,
0:23:30 > 0:23:34but not many people knew it - 16 points it would have scored you.
0:23:34 > 0:23:3616. That's really unlucky.
0:23:36 > 0:23:40Now, these other two. The US singer who had a 2010 hit,
0:23:40 > 0:23:42that's Cee Lo Green.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45He would have scored you 14, would have seen you through as well,
0:23:45 > 0:23:49- and the Scissor Sisters singer... - Ana Matronic.- Ana Matronic, yeah,
0:23:49 > 0:23:51and she would have scored 4 points.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54So George Clarke, David, best answer on that board.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57So, at the end of our second round, the pair heading home,
0:23:57 > 0:23:59I'm so sorry, so unfair,
0:23:59 > 0:24:03to discover that you could have got through, with a high score of 133,
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Paul and Lucy. It's been brilliant having you on both shows.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08Thank you so much for playing. Brilliant contestants,
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Paul and Lucy.
0:24:12 > 0:24:16But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for the head-to-head.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22Congratulations, David and David, Gabby and Millie,
0:24:22 > 0:24:24you're one step closer to the final
0:24:24 > 0:24:26and a chance to play for our jackpot,
0:24:26 > 0:24:29which currently stands at...
0:24:29 > 0:24:32Now, we have to decide who's going to play for that money
0:24:32 > 0:24:34and to do that, you are now going to go head to head.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37The big difference is, you are now allowed to confer.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40The first person to win two questions will play for the jackpot.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43I think this will be a very hard-fought head-to-head.
0:24:43 > 0:24:44Let's play it.
0:24:49 > 0:24:53OK. Here comes your first question, and it concerns...
0:24:56 > 0:24:57Queen Songs.
0:24:57 > 0:25:01Queen Songs, the famous Queen from...
0:25:01 > 0:25:03Queen Songs. Richard?
0:25:03 > 0:25:06We're going to show you five images now, all of which are visual clues
0:25:06 > 0:25:08that will lead you to a title of Queen song.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11Which Queen song is most accurately represented by the images
0:25:11 > 0:25:14- you are about to see? Good luck.- OK.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Let's reveal our five Queen songs in visual-clue form
0:25:16 > 0:25:18and here they are. We have got...
0:25:39 > 0:25:41There we are. Five Queen songs.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44Now, David and David, you played best throughout the show so far,
0:25:44 > 0:25:46so you will go first.
0:25:46 > 0:25:47Feel free to confer.
0:25:47 > 0:25:52- Which one?- B.- OK, em...
0:25:52 > 0:25:56Yeah, thinking laterally is not very easy under these circumstances,
0:25:56 > 0:25:58so...
0:25:58 > 0:26:01So I'm going to say the one thing that I can see,
0:26:01 > 0:26:02which is a hammer in B
0:26:02 > 0:26:05and I think that might be Hammer To Fall.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08Hammer To Fall, say the Davids, for B. Hammer To Fall.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11Now then, Gabby and Millie, the board is all yours.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13Do you want to talk us through it?
0:26:13 > 0:26:17- Do you know it?- Yeah, I think I know three of them. A is Bicycle.
0:26:17 > 0:26:18Oh, yeah!
0:26:18 > 0:26:19LAUGHTER
0:26:19 > 0:26:23- C is We Are The Champions. - And D is We Will Rock You.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25And then Radio Ga Ga.
0:26:25 > 0:26:29- E. I like E.- We're going to go for E, Radio Ga Ga.
0:26:29 > 0:26:30E, Radio Ga Ga.
0:26:30 > 0:26:34So, we have Hammer To Fall and we have Radio Ga Ga.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36David and David said that B was Hammer To Fall.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said Hammer To Fall.
0:26:42 > 0:26:43It's right.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48Still falling.
0:26:48 > 0:26:49There we are, 22.
0:26:52 > 0:26:5422 for Hammer To Fall,
0:26:54 > 0:26:56so that is what you have to beat, Gabby and Millie,
0:26:56 > 0:27:00when you say that E is Radio Ga Ga.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said that.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07It's right.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10Is it going to be...?
0:27:10 > 0:27:12Ooh, 35!
0:27:14 > 0:27:1635 for a Radio Ga Ga.
0:27:16 > 0:27:17Two excellent answers there,
0:27:17 > 0:27:22but the Davids pip it and, after one question, they are up 1-0.
0:27:22 > 0:27:23Well played, both teams.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26Only one answer would have beaten Hammer To Fall. That's the top one.
0:27:26 > 0:27:27It's not called Bicycle, though.
0:27:27 > 0:27:31It's called Bicycle Race. It would have scored you 16 points.
0:27:31 > 0:27:32A very good answer.
0:27:32 > 0:27:37C is, I think as you all knew, We Are The Champions.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41Would have scored you 82. John Terry just out of shot there.
0:27:41 > 0:27:45And D is We Will Rock You.
0:27:45 > 0:27:49And that would have scored 54 points.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52Thanks very much indeed, Richard. So here comes your second question.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55Gabby and Millie, you get to answer this one first,
0:27:55 > 0:27:58but you have to win it to stay in the game, so best of luck.
0:27:58 > 0:27:59It concerns...
0:28:02 > 0:28:05- LAUGHTER - Yep, rabbits.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07- Richard?- Yeah, why not, eh?
0:28:07 > 0:28:11We're going to show you five clues now to facts relating to rabbits.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13Can you give us the most obscure answer here? Good luck.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16- OK, let's reveal our...- You know what? What do you want it from me?
0:28:16 > 0:28:18Yeah, you write the questions!
0:28:18 > 0:28:22Let's reveal our rabbit-based facts and here they are.
0:28:22 > 0:28:23We have got...
0:28:42 > 0:28:44I'll read those all again.
0:29:01 > 0:29:05There we are. Five clues to fact about rabbits.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07Gaby and Millie will go first.
0:29:07 > 0:29:11THEY CONFER
0:29:17 > 0:29:20OK, we're going to relive our childhood
0:29:20 > 0:29:22and say that the top one is Thumper.
0:29:22 > 0:29:27OK, Thumper. Thumper say Gabby and Millie.
0:29:27 > 0:29:30David and David, do you think you could talk us through the board?
0:29:30 > 0:29:34The third one, a male rabbit, I think it's called a buck.
0:29:34 > 0:29:38- I think the bottom one is a warren. - That would make sense.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40Do you think buck or warren is better?
0:29:40 > 0:29:41I think we'll go for the buck.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43I'm not sure either is as good as Thumper.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46No, we'll go for the bottom one. Warren.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49You're going to go for warren. OK, warren.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52So we have Thumper versus warren. Gabby and Millie said Thumper.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55Let's see if that's right and let's see how many people said Thumper.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59It's right.
0:30:01 > 0:30:0350.
0:30:06 > 0:30:0950 for Thumper. The Davids have said warren.
0:30:09 > 0:30:10Let's see if that's right
0:30:10 > 0:30:13and, if it is, let's see how many of our 100 said warren.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17It's right.
0:30:19 > 0:30:2063 for Warren!
0:30:20 > 0:30:22APPLAUSE
0:30:24 > 0:30:26Which means well done, Gabby and Millie,
0:30:26 > 0:30:29you are back in the game after two questions. It's 1-1.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31Yeah, you're right about buck as well,
0:30:31 > 0:30:33but that wouldn't have got you through either
0:30:33 > 0:30:34because that scored 60 points.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37Buck the name for a male rabbit, also a male deer, male ferret,
0:30:37 > 0:30:40male rat, male kangaroo. Buck.
0:30:40 > 0:30:4160 points.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44Now, the title of Margery Williams's 1922 children's book
0:30:44 > 0:30:47is The Velveteen Rabbit, yeah. It's a beautiful book.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50Sort of about what it means to be real and rather a moving story.
0:30:50 > 0:30:517 points for that.
0:30:51 > 0:30:54There's a pointless answer up there. The decade...
0:30:54 > 0:30:56Do you want to have a guess at that one? It's a pointless answer.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59- 1920s?- 1900s?
0:30:59 > 0:31:021900s is the right answer. Yeah, pointless answer.
0:31:02 > 0:31:06Very well done if you said that at home.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08Thanks very much indeed.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11OK, now, here comes your third question. This is the decider.
0:31:11 > 0:31:12Whoever wins this goes through to the final
0:31:12 > 0:31:14and plays for that jackpot.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16Best of luck to both pairs. It concerns...
0:31:19 > 0:31:21Authors With Three Names. Richard?
0:31:21 > 0:31:24I'm going to show you the names of five authors, all of whom
0:31:24 > 0:31:27are commonly known by three names but we've missed out the middle one.
0:31:27 > 0:31:28Can you fill in the gaps, please?
0:31:28 > 0:31:30The team with the most obscure answer
0:31:30 > 0:31:33is going through to play for the jackpot, so very best of luck.
0:31:33 > 0:31:34Thanks very much indeed.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37OK, let's reveal our five authors and here they come.
0:31:50 > 0:31:52I'll read those all one last time.
0:32:03 > 0:32:07Now, the Davids will go first again this time.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09THEY CONFER
0:32:09 > 0:32:13- I think that's probably the best that I can do.- I think you're right.
0:32:13 > 0:32:14I think you're right.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16Go for it.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19We are going to go for the third one, which is, I think,
0:32:19 > 0:32:22Alexander McCall Smith.
0:32:22 > 0:32:25McCall Smith say the Davids, McCall Smith.
0:32:25 > 0:32:29So, Gabby and Millie, the board is all yours.
0:32:29 > 0:32:33- Well, you do literature, so you do your thing.- I don't...
0:32:33 > 0:32:35You were better than me at school.
0:32:35 > 0:32:38The top one, I think, is Frances Hodgson Burnett,
0:32:38 > 0:32:39who wrote The Secret Garden.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42OK, that's the one you're going to go for. Hodgson Burnett.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45We have McCall Smith and Hodgson Burnett.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47The Davids have gone for Alexander McCall Smith.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said it.
0:32:52 > 0:32:53It's right.
0:32:58 > 0:33:0011!
0:33:01 > 0:33:03Good score.
0:33:05 > 0:33:08Gabby and Millie have gone for Frances Hodgson Burnett.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said that.
0:33:11 > 0:33:1211 is what you have to beat.
0:33:14 > 0:33:16It's absolutely right.
0:33:18 > 0:33:20How far down is it going to go? Is it going to beat 11?
0:33:20 > 0:33:22Oh, 22!
0:33:25 > 0:33:2922, which means, David and David, after three questions,
0:33:29 > 0:33:32you are through to the final 2-1. Very well done indeed.
0:33:32 > 0:33:35A valiant effort, Gabby and Millie, but well played, the Davids.
0:33:35 > 0:33:37There are two answers that would have beaten them.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40The bottom one wouldn't. That's Robert Louis Stevenson.
0:33:40 > 0:33:45That would have scored you 73 points. But the other two would have done.
0:33:45 > 0:33:46It's Joyce... Do you know that one?
0:33:46 > 0:33:49- I don't know that one. - Joyce Carol Oates.
0:33:49 > 0:33:52She would have scored you 7.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55And the crime writer James Lee Burke.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58That would have scored you 5 points.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00Thank you very much indeed.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03So, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round is,
0:34:03 > 0:34:06I'm afraid, Gabby and Millie. Well, what a performance!
0:34:06 > 0:34:09Great, really good show today, done very well indeed.
0:34:09 > 0:34:12But I'm afraid you came up against the Davids
0:34:12 > 0:34:15who JUST beat you there. Thank you so much for playing. It's been great
0:34:15 > 0:34:18having you on the show. Thanks so much, Gabby and Millie.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20APPLAUSE
0:34:22 > 0:34:25But for David and David, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:28 > 0:34:32Congratulations, David and David, you fought off all the competition
0:34:32 > 0:34:34and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:34:42 > 0:34:46and, at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £1,250.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50As always, you get to choose your category for this round
0:34:50 > 0:34:53and there are four options to choose from. They are...
0:35:04 > 0:35:06- What do you want to go for? - We'll go for East Londoners.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08- East Londoners.- East Londoners.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10Best of luck. That's what they're going for.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13OK, good luck. Three very different questions here,
0:35:13 > 0:35:14so hopefully one of them suits you.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16We are looking for the names of
0:35:16 > 0:35:18any of the West Ham players who won the 1980 FA Cup.
0:35:18 > 0:35:20That includes substitutes who came on,
0:35:20 > 0:35:21not substitutes who didn't come on.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24We're looking for the names of any cast members
0:35:24 > 0:35:26of the first-ever episode of EastEnders,
0:35:26 > 0:35:29so any actor credited in that first-ever episode of EastEnders.
0:35:29 > 0:35:32Or we are looking for the name of
0:35:32 > 0:35:35any feature film made for cinema release for which Danny Dyer
0:35:35 > 0:35:38has received an acting credit up to January 2014, please.
0:35:38 > 0:35:42So, any of the West Ham United 1980 FA Cup winning team,
0:35:42 > 0:35:45any of the first EastEnders cast or any Danny Dyer film.
0:35:45 > 0:35:46Very best of luck.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49OK. Now, as always, you've got up to one minute
0:35:49 > 0:35:51to come up with three answers and, to win that jackpot,
0:35:51 > 0:35:54all you have to do is find just one pointless answer
0:35:54 > 0:35:55among those three. Now, remember,
0:35:55 > 0:35:58the answers you provide can come from any of those categories.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01They could all be EastEnders cast, they could all be Danny Dyer films
0:36:01 > 0:36:04or they could be one of each, it's entirely down to you.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06- Are you ready?- Yes.
0:36:06 > 0:36:10OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock. There they are.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12Your time starts now.
0:36:12 > 0:36:15- Well, I don't know any Danny Dyer films.- OK, I know...
0:36:15 > 0:36:17I could come up with several names for people
0:36:17 > 0:36:19in the first EastEnders cast.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21Many of them are not going to be pointless,
0:36:21 > 0:36:24- but someone like Bill Treacher, I think, who played...- Teacher?
0:36:24 > 0:36:27No, Treacher, I think,
0:36:27 > 0:36:31who was in there and John Altman, who is probably...
0:36:31 > 0:36:32These probably aren't pointless.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35- Do you know anyone from West Ham United?- The only one
0:36:35 > 0:36:37would be Trevor Brooking, but I think he's probably...
0:36:39 > 0:36:42Can we go back to sitcoms, please?
0:36:42 > 0:36:43LAUGHTER
0:36:43 > 0:36:50So, there is Bill Treacher, June Brown is too obvious. Em...
0:36:51 > 0:36:56- Er...- John Altman... - Anna Wing was in...was Lou Beale.
0:36:56 > 0:37:01So I think these might be our best bet, if we go for...
0:37:01 > 0:37:06- Ten seconds left.- Bill Treacher, Anna Wing and John Altman.- Yeah.
0:37:06 > 0:37:09- We might as well give those a try. - Give them a try.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11OK, well, even before your time is up,
0:37:11 > 0:37:14you have landed on your three answers. Just give me those again.
0:37:14 > 0:37:19- OK, so, we are going for Bill Treacher.- Bill Treacher.- Anna Wing.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21- Anna Wing.- And John Altman. - And John Altman.
0:37:21 > 0:37:25- They are all EastEnders cast members.- OK, of those three
0:37:25 > 0:37:29EastEnders cast members, which do you think is your most obscure?
0:37:29 > 0:37:32The most obscure is probably Bill Treacher.
0:37:32 > 0:37:33Bill Treacher, we will pop him last.
0:37:33 > 0:37:37- John Altman, I'm not so sure about. - John Altman is probably...
0:37:37 > 0:37:39John Altman is probably the most obvious one.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41- OK, so John Altman we will put first.- Yes.
0:37:41 > 0:37:45OK, let's pop those up on the board in that order and here they are.
0:37:45 > 0:37:49We have got John Altman, Anna Wing and Bill Treacher.
0:37:49 > 0:37:51Well, very, very best of luck.
0:37:51 > 0:37:53Three excellent answers up there on the board,
0:37:53 > 0:37:55let's hope at least one of those is pointless.
0:37:55 > 0:37:57Your first answer was John Altman.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00This was the one you thought was least likely to be pointless,
0:38:00 > 0:38:01but you never know, it could be.
0:38:01 > 0:38:05If you were to win that jackpot, £1,250, what would you spend it on?
0:38:07 > 0:38:10For me, my partner and I had our house done up
0:38:10 > 0:38:12a couple of years ago and the builders left
0:38:12 > 0:38:16a lot of very useful building materials in our back garden.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19Two years later, they are still there and I'd quite
0:38:19 > 0:38:22like the garden to become a garden again rather than a builders' yard.
0:38:22 > 0:38:24OK. Very good.
0:38:24 > 0:38:27David, I have a hunch there's going to be some malt whisky involved in this.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29That would be number-one priority,
0:38:29 > 0:38:32but I think I would have to take my wife a holiday first, I think.
0:38:32 > 0:38:33Well, take her to Speyside.
0:38:33 > 0:38:35We could take her on holiday with our malt whisky.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38OK, there you are. There you are. Best of luck.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41As I say, three good answers there. John Altman was your first.
0:38:41 > 0:38:43Let's find out. John Altman.
0:38:43 > 0:38:45In all three cases here, we are looking for
0:38:45 > 0:38:47original cast members of EastEnders
0:38:47 > 0:38:49from the first episode ever transmitted.
0:38:49 > 0:38:52Let's find out. John Altman, is that right?
0:38:52 > 0:38:54And, if it is, how many people said it?
0:38:57 > 0:38:59It is right.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02Down it goes. Tearing through the 40s and 30s,
0:39:02 > 0:39:04the 20s,
0:39:04 > 0:39:05into the teens...
0:39:05 > 0:39:06If this goes all the way to 0...
0:39:06 > 0:39:08Oh, 1!
0:39:08 > 0:39:101 for John Altman!
0:39:10 > 0:39:12APPLAUSE
0:39:12 > 0:39:16Well...unfortunately, not a pointless answer,
0:39:16 > 0:39:19but I have to say, it is looking very good for your next two answers.
0:39:19 > 0:39:22John Altman you thought was far and away
0:39:22 > 0:39:24the best known of those three names,
0:39:24 > 0:39:29so let's see where we get with your next answer, which is Anna Wing.
0:39:29 > 0:39:33Obviously, this has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot,
0:39:33 > 0:39:36so for £1,250, let's see how many people named
0:39:36 > 0:39:40Anna Wing as a cast member from the first-ever episode of EastEnders.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44It's right.
0:39:44 > 0:39:45Well, your first answer, John Altman,
0:39:45 > 0:39:48took us all the way down to 1.
0:39:48 > 0:39:49Anna Wing now taking us
0:39:49 > 0:39:51down through the 20s, down through the teens
0:39:51 > 0:39:52into single figures, still...
0:39:52 > 0:39:54Oh, 1 again!
0:39:54 > 0:39:57- Oh! - APPLAUSE
0:39:57 > 0:39:58A WING and a prayer!
0:40:01 > 0:40:03- APPLAUSE - Which means...
0:40:03 > 0:40:07everything is now riding on your third and final answer,
0:40:07 > 0:40:08Bill Treacher.
0:40:10 > 0:40:14Oh, best of luck! Please, please can this go down to a pointless.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16You said this was your most confident shot
0:40:16 > 0:40:17at a pointless answer.
0:40:17 > 0:40:19- It has to be pointless. - I thought so!
0:40:19 > 0:40:21It has to be pointless for you to win the jackpot.
0:40:21 > 0:40:24For £1,250, let's find out how many people
0:40:24 > 0:40:28said Bill Treacher was in that first episode of EastEnders.
0:40:31 > 0:40:32It's right.
0:40:32 > 0:40:35So, John Altman took us all the way down to 1,
0:40:35 > 0:40:38then Anna Wing took us all the way down to 1.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41Bill Treacher now taking us into single figures...
0:40:41 > 0:40:42Oh, no!
0:40:42 > 0:40:44LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
0:40:44 > 0:40:46Oh, I'm sorry!
0:40:49 > 0:40:50Oh!
0:40:51 > 0:40:53That...
0:40:53 > 0:40:58That, I think, is one of the unkindest last rounds
0:40:58 > 0:41:01I have witnessed for ages.
0:41:01 > 0:41:021, 1, 1.
0:41:02 > 0:41:07Oh, I was sure that one of those last two, at least, was going to go down to pointless.
0:41:07 > 0:41:09Unfortunately, you didn't manage to find that pointless answer,
0:41:09 > 0:41:12which means you don't win today's jackpot of £1,250.
0:41:12 > 0:41:16That will roll over on to the next show, but, my goodness,
0:41:16 > 0:41:19you have been fantastic the whole way through the show
0:41:19 > 0:41:22and you do get to take home a Pointless trophy each,
0:41:22 > 0:41:25so at least there is that to take home, but very, very well done.
0:41:32 > 0:41:34Guys, that is... That doesn't happen very often.
0:41:34 > 0:41:37That's the best you can possibly play without winning the money,
0:41:37 > 0:41:39I'm afraid, and you played terrifically all the way through.
0:41:39 > 0:41:42Let's see the pointless answers in all the different categories.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44We'll start with the West Ham team.
0:41:45 > 0:41:47There were only four pointless answers here.
0:41:47 > 0:41:49David Cross, who I know watches the show,
0:41:49 > 0:41:51he has tweeted me before about various answers.
0:41:51 > 0:41:53Geoff Pike, as well, was a pointless answer.
0:41:53 > 0:41:55Phil Parkes, the goalie.
0:41:55 > 0:41:58Ray Stewart, the defender, he was a pointless answer as well.
0:41:58 > 0:42:02Let's look at EastEnders. There's four pointless answers here.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05Leonard Fenton who played Dr Legg was a pointless answer.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07Nejdet Salih, who played Ali Osman, my namesake.
0:42:07 > 0:42:11Sandy Ratcliff, she played Sue Osman, Ali's wife, she was pointless.
0:42:11 > 0:42:14And Shreela Ghosh, who played Naima, she was pointless as well.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16Well done if you said any of those.
0:42:16 > 0:42:18And the final one, Danny Dyer films.
0:42:18 > 0:42:20He's been in a lot of films, Danny Dyer.
0:42:20 > 0:42:22Adulthood, follow-up to Kidulthood.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25Freerunner, High Heels And Low Lifes with Minnie Driver.
0:42:25 > 0:42:28Malice In Wonderland. All of those were pointless answers.
0:42:28 > 0:42:30There is a couple of others you could have had.
0:42:30 > 0:42:32You could have had Goodbye Charlie Bright, The Rapture,
0:42:32 > 0:42:35Greenfingers, Jack Said and Tabloid, all pointless answers.
