0:00:18 > 0:00:20APPLAUSE
0:00:20 > 0:00:23Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong
0:00:23 > 0:00:26and welcome to Pointless, where the aim of the game
0:00:26 > 0:00:29is to avoid the obvious answers and find the obscure ones.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31Let's meet today's players.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Couple number one.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39Hi, I'm Julie. This is my best friend Sue.
0:00:39 > 0:00:43We've been friends for 60 years and we're from Nottingham.
0:00:43 > 0:00:44Couple number two.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Hi, I'm Lola. This is Alice.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50We are friends and flatmates from London.
0:00:50 > 0:00:51Couple number three.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54High, I'm Jamie, this is James and we're friends from London.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56And finally, couple number four.
0:00:56 > 0:00:57Hi, my name is John,
0:00:57 > 0:00:59this is my sister Helen,
0:00:59 > 0:01:01and we're from Rawtenstall in Lancashire.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03These are today's contestants.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07Thanks very much. We'll get to know more about each of you
0:01:07 > 0:01:08as the show it goes along.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10So that just leaves me one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13I have to be quite sensitive round him today
0:01:13 > 0:01:16as he's just had his prized collection of Central American fetishes
0:01:16 > 0:01:18and blowpipe stolen from this dressing room.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20It's my Pointless friend - it's Richard!
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Hiya.
0:01:22 > 0:01:23Hi, everybody.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Central American what?
0:01:27 > 0:01:29A Central American fetish?
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Yes, they're not what they sound like, they're carved...
0:01:32 > 0:01:33they're graven images.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35They're sort of...idols, carved.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38So expressly forbidden in the Ten Commandments.
0:01:38 > 0:01:39Erm, well, yeah, they are.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42But, listen, the Ten Commandments didn't get over to
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Central America for SO long...!
0:01:45 > 0:01:46Tell that to the Incas.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49We are SO out of our depth already!
0:01:49 > 0:01:51LAUGHTER
0:01:51 > 0:01:53- We should just move on, I think. - Let's move on. Anyway.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56We've got three returning pairs from the last show.
0:01:56 > 0:01:57Lola and Alice, who did very well.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59Got all the way to the head-to-head. Tough to beat.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01But John and Helen were very unlucky, I think.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Knocked out in the first round on a tennis question,
0:02:04 > 0:02:06they knew their tennis, but the answers they went for were good
0:02:06 > 0:02:09but too obscure, and they were knocked out.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11- I think it was unfortunate, I would say.- Indeed.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14Gave away the jackpot last time in a great final round
0:02:14 > 0:02:17for Darren and Jonathan, winning nearly 4,500 on Olympic rowers.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19It was very impressive, wasn't it?
0:02:19 > 0:02:20Very good indeed.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23- It's nice, though, to go back to £1,000, isn't it?- It is, isn't it?
0:02:23 > 0:02:25It's less worry if you win it.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28You don't have to worry about where you'll keep it.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30What you're going to spend it on...
0:02:30 > 0:02:33- Yeah.- Takes a lot of choice out of life.- Yeah, I think it's nice.
0:02:33 > 0:02:34A relief for everybody here.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Yes, I think so. Yeah.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38OK, there we are. Thanks very much indeed.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Now all our questions on Pointless have been put to 100 people -
0:02:41 > 0:02:43our contestants are looking for the obscure answers
0:02:43 > 0:02:45our 100 people didn't get.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Everybody is trying to find a pointless answer
0:02:47 > 0:02:50that none of the 100 people got, and each time that happens
0:02:50 > 0:02:52we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Now, Darren and Jonathan won the jackpot last time,
0:02:54 > 0:02:58so today's jackpot starts off back at £1,000.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00There it is. Right, everybody ready?
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Let's play Pointless.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07Now, remember, the pair with the highest score
0:03:07 > 0:03:09at the end of each round will be eliminated,
0:03:09 > 0:03:12so try and make sure it's not you.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14OK, our first category today is...
0:03:14 > 0:03:16Pop music.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21Pop music. All decide in your pairs who'll go first and who second.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30OK, and the question concerns...
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Richard?
0:03:36 > 0:03:40On each pass we'll show you seven number one singles from the noughties,
0:03:40 > 0:03:42you just have to tell us which act or artist
0:03:42 > 0:03:44had a number one hit with these songs, please.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Seven on each pass, 14 in all, so have a go at home.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48So, very best of luck.
0:03:48 > 0:03:49Thanks very much indeed.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53We're looking for the artists who had a number one with each of these hits.
0:03:53 > 0:03:54And here's our first board of seven.
0:04:11 > 0:04:12I'll read them all one last time.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Now, which of Julie and Sue is going to go first?
0:04:30 > 0:04:32- Me.- Sue.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Remind us what you get up to up in Nottingham.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38I go clubbing with the students when I work.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40That's what I was after. Yep!
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Is there one particular club you all like to go to?
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Yeah, we all go to Ocean. It's the student club, so...
0:04:45 > 0:04:47- Very good. - On Friday night.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49And they get all the drinks in, I hope for you.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52- Yes.- Never pay for a drink.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54I love it. They look after you.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Anyway, so, Sue, yes.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58There we are. Here's the board.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Do you know any of these songs...?
0:05:00 > 0:05:02You'll know Bound 4 Da Reload from Ocean, obviously.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04Of course. Of course.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06I don't know any of them, to be honest.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08So I'm going to have to take a guess.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12I'm going to go Rollin' with Westlife.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14(I know it's not right.)
0:05:14 > 0:05:15Rollin', Westlife.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Let's find out if that's right. It might be.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21Say Westlife, there's always a pretty high chance you'll be right.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Let's see if Rollin' is by Westlife, and how many said that if it is.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30Oh, bad luck! I'm sorry, Sue.
0:05:30 > 0:05:34An incorrect answer there scores you a maximum of 100 points.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37I'd be surprised if that's the last 100 points in this round.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40Sorry, Sue, Westlife were number one for most of the noughties,
0:05:40 > 0:05:42but not with Rollin', I'm afraid.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Thanks very much indeed. Now, then, Lola.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46- Hello.- Welcome back.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49- Thank you. - Now, last time, head-to-head
0:05:49 > 0:05:51and we gave you some comedy ones, didn't we?
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Don't.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56- That one fell through the cracks. - Should've known The Goodies.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Well, I have to say, normally if pop music comes up I think "Yay" -
0:05:59 > 0:06:01I'm going to be fine on this. I'm... I'm struggling.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Lola, on the other hand,
0:06:03 > 0:06:06I'm guessing you're going to be all over this board.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Yeah. Actually.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12It's all right. I can't remember the one I really want to remember...
0:06:13 > 0:06:17So I'm going to go for Maneater
0:06:17 > 0:06:19and I'm going to say Nelly Furtado.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22Nelly Furtado says Lola for Maneater.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Let's see if it's right, and if it is how many said Nelly Furtado.
0:06:27 > 0:06:28It's right.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37Very well done for Nelly Furtado.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Well played, Lola. Number one for three weeks. Her first number one.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45The speakers in the studio caught fire as she was recording it.
0:06:45 > 0:06:46She thought it was possessed.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49- Well, you would.- Yeah. - Or she thought the song was so HOT.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53I would think there was an electrical fault, is what I would think.
0:06:53 > 0:06:54But, erm... That's just me.
0:06:56 > 0:06:57Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Now then, we come to you, James.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02- Oh, they're new!- I know! - They're new!
0:07:02 > 0:07:05Nice to have you here. Tell us about ourselves.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09I work as a database manager for a charity.
0:07:09 > 0:07:10Diabetes UK.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12And I am from London.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Originally from Essex.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17- OK. How do you and Jamie know each other?- We're friends.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20We've known each other since we were about 11 years old.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Oh, that's nice. Very good.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24- James.- Yes.
0:07:24 > 0:07:29Er, I panicked when it first came up, but I think I can get couple.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33I will go for I Kissed A Girl,
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Katy Perry.
0:07:35 > 0:07:36Katy Perry, I Kissed A Girl.
0:07:36 > 0:07:37Let's hear that's right,
0:07:37 > 0:07:40and if it is, let's see how many people said Katy Perry.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Well, you've beaten our high score -
0:07:44 > 0:07:45The low score is 26.
0:07:45 > 0:07:4755. There we are.
0:07:49 > 0:07:5155 for Katy Perry.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53A solid and safe first answer, I would say.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55Five weeks at number one in the UK,
0:07:55 > 0:07:58seven weeks at number one in the US, as well.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Thanks very much indeed. Now, John.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Welcome back.
0:08:04 > 0:08:05Very unfortunate in the last show.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08You...You know your tennis, very well.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10I do. Gutted.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13And you joined the 200 club. I'm sorry.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16You know, we said last time, John looks like a tennis player?
0:08:16 > 0:08:18- He's even in his, sort of, tennis kit now.- He does.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21- Straight from the courts! That is just about to knock up.- Yep.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23People say I look like Andy Murray, but... Some people.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27I'm not sure...about Andy Murray, but I just say a tennis player.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30If you were looking for a tennis player for a script,
0:08:30 > 0:08:32and you walked in, you'd go - yeah, you'll do.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Got it. You got the part.
0:08:34 > 0:08:35Erm, John, now then,
0:08:35 > 0:08:38this board is all yours.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Right, well, I know I'm comfortable on this one.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43It's just working out which one is the lowest.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45I'm going to go for...
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Rollin' and Limp Bizkit.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Limp Bizkit, Rollin'. OK.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Let's see if that's right, and if it is,
0:08:51 > 0:08:53how many people said Limp Bizkit.
0:08:55 > 0:08:56It's right!
0:09:01 > 0:09:02Down it goes...
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Our lowest score of the round so far.
0:09:04 > 0:09:0514, very well done indeed, John.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Very good answer, John, well played. That's more like it.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16- They're only UK number one to date, they're a nu-metal band.- Mm. - That's what they call themselves.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Now, let's fill in the rest of the board.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Er, Lola, which was the one you wanted to remember?
0:09:20 > 0:09:23- Bound 4 Da Reload.- Xander wants to remember that one as well.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26- I know it.- Do you know it? - It's people... me and Xander
0:09:26 > 0:09:29- get compared to them all the time.- Yeah?
0:09:29 > 0:09:30People always say we're like...
0:09:30 > 0:09:33- like a 2014 version of these guys. - Yeah.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37- Oxide And Neutrino?- Oxide And Neutrino, absolutely right. - That's us.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39I'm Oxide, you're Neutrino. Just crazy.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42They were from So Solid Crew and that was their...
0:09:42 > 0:09:46it was like a huge UK garage track - Bound 4 Da Reload.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48It had the Casualty theme tune in it.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51- Sampled it.- Do you think anyone's going to sample our theme tune?
0:09:51 > 0:09:54- No.- That would be nice.- It would be ni... very flattering.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57- That would be nice... a UK garage track.- Yes!
0:09:57 > 0:09:59I'd like that, Lethal Bizzle might do it.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02IMITATES SAMPLING OF THEME TUNE
0:10:02 > 0:10:04LAUGHTER
0:10:05 > 0:10:08CONTINUES SAMPLING
0:10:08 > 0:10:10LAUGHTER
0:10:17 > 0:10:20LAUGHTER
0:10:20 > 0:10:23They don't need to sample it now, do they? Just put that out.
0:10:23 > 0:10:24LAUGHTER
0:10:24 > 0:10:27- That sounds like a hit to me. - They can ha...!
0:10:27 > 0:10:30Er, talking of that - Evacuate The Dancefloor...
0:10:30 > 0:10:31that's by...
0:10:34 > 0:10:37One of the best health and safety tracks of the noughties.
0:10:37 > 0:10:38LAUGHTER
0:10:38 > 0:10:42Loneliness... this is a terrific answer if you got this...
0:10:42 > 0:10:45The German DJ would have scored you one point.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48And do you know The Importance Of Being Idle?
0:10:48 > 0:10:52- I...- Oasis.- Really? - Yeah, would have scored you 19.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55Oh, that's shaming. OK, thank you very much indeed.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Now then, let's take a look at those scores...
0:10:57 > 0:11:00the best score of that pass, John, very much yours, well done. 14.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04Then we travel up to 26, well done, Lola. We find Lola and Alice.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08Then up to 55 for James and Jamie. Oh, I'm sorry, Julie and Sue.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10I'm sorry, 100.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13Luckily, though, I know that Julie is going to be...
0:11:13 > 0:11:17- on this.- All over it.- All over it, exactly. So, yes, good luck with that, Julie.
0:11:17 > 0:11:23We are going to come back down the line now, can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:11:23 > 0:11:26OK, let's put seven more hit singles. Number-one hit singles,
0:11:26 > 0:11:29I should say, on the board and here they are.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45I'll read those all one last time...
0:11:56 > 0:11:58Now, remember, Helen, we are looking for the artists who had
0:11:58 > 0:12:02number-one hits with these singles in the noughties.
0:12:02 > 0:12:06- We discovered last time that you were a buyer...- Yep.- ..of shoes.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09- Ladies' shoes, yes.- Ladies' shoes. Does that mean...?
0:12:09 > 0:12:10I mean, how...
0:12:10 > 0:12:13how do you become aware of, of particular lines of ladies' shoes,
0:12:13 > 0:12:17do they send just masses of boxes through to you?
0:12:17 > 0:12:19No, it, sort of, involves going round the high streets
0:12:19 > 0:12:22- finding out what all the latest trends are.- A little bit of
0:12:22 > 0:12:26- industrial espionage?- A little bit. - Do you sneak into rival shops?
0:12:26 > 0:12:28- A little bit, yeah.- Do they know you, do you have to wear disguises?
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Er, no, we're OK in the shops, it's when we go round the shows that
0:12:31 > 0:12:33we have to be a bit more sneaky about it.
0:12:33 > 0:12:34SHE CHUCKLES
0:12:34 > 0:12:37OK. OK, now, Helen, what are you going to go for?
0:12:37 > 0:12:41I think I'm going to go for Bag It Up, Geri Halliwell.
0:12:41 > 0:12:45Geri Halliwell, Bag It Up. Of course, yes, she's a dog owner...
0:12:45 > 0:12:48LAUGHTER
0:12:49 > 0:12:52100 is the high score, you're on 14, so 85 or less gets you through.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55Let's see if it is indeed by Geri Halliwell - let's see how
0:12:55 > 0:12:58many people said it, there's your red line.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03It's right and you're through. Very well done indeed, Helen.
0:13:09 > 0:13:10Good work.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16All thoughts of the 200 Club are far behind us now, your total is 20.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19Still the lowest score so far and you've given two answers.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21Terrific answer, yeah, very well played.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23That was her third UK number one, she's had four in all.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27She was knocked off number one by Mel C, as well.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Thanks very much indeed. Jamie, welcome.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32Now, you and James... you know each other very well,
0:13:32 > 0:13:34but you have a weird, sort of, ESP thing going on
0:13:34 > 0:13:37because I was hearing just earlier that you got engaged,
0:13:37 > 0:13:39or you were about to get engaged on the same day.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43Yeah, we both independently decided to, to propose...
0:13:43 > 0:13:47Hadn't told each other and on the day that James had the ring in
0:13:47 > 0:13:51his pocket I was in Bruges with my then girlfriend and proposed to her.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55But you got engaged on the same day as your friend, as well, didn't you?
0:13:55 > 0:13:57- Your friend Hannah, now your wife. - Oh, yeah, that's right!
0:13:57 > 0:13:59LAUGHTER
0:13:59 > 0:14:02- That's right.- Yeah, that's weird. - I know, it's very strange.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05Oh, who knows how these things work? Anyway, Jamie, there you are,
0:14:05 > 0:14:08you're on 55, the high scorers remain Julie and Sue on 100,
0:14:08 > 0:14:11so 44 or less is your target.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14OK, I was a bit nervous when I saw all of these cos
0:14:14 > 0:14:18there's one I know I think's going to be really high, but luckily,
0:14:18 > 0:14:21er, the other one that I think I know hasn't been chosen,
0:14:21 > 0:14:25which is Obviously, McFly.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29McFly, says Jamie. McFly. Obviously, is it by McFly?
0:14:29 > 0:14:32Here is your red line - get below that with McFly -
0:14:32 > 0:14:34you're home and dry.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38It is indeed McFly. Very well done, Jamie.
0:14:40 > 0:14:41And you are through.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50- It's beginning to look ominous for podium one, isn't it?- It is a bit.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53- Just a little bit.- Just a bit. - You never know, though.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57- You do never know. Yeah, one of their seven number ones to date.- Wow.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01- Alice, welcome.- Hi. - Remind us what you do.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05- I'm a financial journalist.- An award-winning financial journalist,
0:15:05 > 0:15:08in fact, what particular markets do you look over?
0:15:08 > 0:15:13Specifically I look at unquoted investments, namely private equity.
0:15:13 > 0:15:14Right.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17Um, 26 is your, is your score at the moment, again,
0:15:17 > 0:15:21Julie and Sue on 100, so 73 or less is your target.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26Erm, I know... about three of them.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29One of them, I think, will be very high so it's just deciding
0:15:29 > 0:15:31between the other two.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Just cos I know Lola really likes this band...
0:15:33 > 0:15:35I'm going to go...
0:15:35 > 0:15:38- SHE CHUCKLES - ..for the bottom one, Vertigo, with U2.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41U2... for Vertigo.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45OK, there is your red line, let's see if U2 can get you below it.
0:15:48 > 0:15:49It's right.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53Well done, take your place in round two...
0:16:01 > 0:16:05Number one for one week, Vertigo from How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08OK, now then, Julie...
0:16:08 > 0:16:10I'm sorry...
0:16:10 > 0:16:11THEY LAUGH
0:16:11 > 0:16:13..I'm really, really sorry.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16But, anyway. We discovered last time you're a special constable.
0:16:16 > 0:16:22- That's right, yes. - How long have you done that for? - 23 years. Yes. Now, these days I...
0:16:22 > 0:16:26I do more recruitment and training.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29There we are. There are 1, 2, 3, 4 gaps there.
0:16:30 > 0:16:35I don't know any of them, the only one I did know was U2... Vertigo.
0:16:35 > 0:16:36I shall go for...
0:16:37 > 0:16:39..Just A Little.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42And my favourite singer...
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Cliff Richard!
0:16:44 > 0:16:46LAUGHTER
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Just A Little.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50Erm, OK, let's see if Cliff Richard is right.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53I'm afraid you are already the high scorers so there's
0:16:53 > 0:16:57no red line for you but let's see... if Cliff Richard sang Just A Little.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03I'm afraid... I'm sorry.
0:17:03 > 0:17:07I'm afraid he didn't and that scores you 100 points...
0:17:07 > 0:17:08I'm sorry.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12Yeah, sorry, Julie, but if Cliff is watching, you have just made his day.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15- So that's nice.- That's nice.- Just A Little is actually a great pop song,
0:17:15 > 0:17:17it's by Liberty X.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20- It is a great song.- Great song, would have scored you 11 points.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22Fight For This Love...
0:17:26 > 0:17:28A Moment Like This is...
0:17:30 > 0:17:31And Oops I Did It Again...?
0:17:31 > 0:17:35- Britney Spears.- Britney Spears. Would have scored you 68 points.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38So, Geri Halliwell, best answer on this board.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41Thanks very much indeed, Richard. So, at the end of our first round,
0:17:41 > 0:17:44the pair heading home with their high score of 200, I'm so sorry,
0:17:44 > 0:17:47Julie and Sue. I know that's a tough round. There are, occasionally,
0:17:47 > 0:17:49ones that will come up like that, and, you know,
0:17:49 > 0:17:52- sometimes you might know one or not. - Yeah.
0:17:52 > 0:17:53That was a really tough one.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56And, I'm afraid it means we must say goodbye, it's been lovely having
0:17:56 > 0:18:01- you on the show, thank you both so much for playing, Julie and Sue - wonderful contestants.- Thank you.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05But, for the remaining three pairs it's now time for round two.
0:18:09 > 0:18:10Well, three pairs remain.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14At the end of this round we'll be saying goodbye to another pair. Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16Our category for round two today is...
0:18:20 > 0:18:25It's cricket. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:18:25 > 0:18:28And whoever's going first please step up to the podium.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32OK, let's find out what the question is - here it comes...
0:18:32 > 0:18:35we gave 100 people 100 seconds to name...
0:18:35 > 0:18:36as many...
0:18:46 > 0:18:49Yeah, I think you can treat this as geography rather than sport
0:18:49 > 0:18:51if you want to, cos we're looking for any town or
0:18:51 > 0:18:54city in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa or Zimbabwe that has
0:18:54 > 0:18:56ever hosted a men's cricket test match.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59And that's all the way through to January 2014,
0:18:59 > 0:19:03according to the cricinfo website. So any town or city in Australia,
0:19:03 > 0:19:06New Zealand, South Africa or Zimbabwe that has ever hosted an official
0:19:06 > 0:19:09men's cricket test match. Very best of luck.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12Thanks very much indeed. OK, Lola...
0:19:14 > 0:19:18Erm... OK. Just going to say a city...
0:19:18 > 0:19:21in South Africa...
0:19:21 > 0:19:22Durban.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25Durban, says Lola. Let's see if that's right, and if it is,
0:19:25 > 0:19:27let's see how many of our 100 people said Durban.
0:19:30 > 0:19:31It's right.
0:19:40 > 0:19:41That'll do.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45Very well played, Lola. That's the way to go.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48If you know your geography, you can just about get through with this
0:19:48 > 0:19:51- round, I think.- Thanks very much indeed. Now, Jamie...
0:19:51 > 0:19:55- Yes.- Cricket not good for you?- Sport in general is not great for me.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58- Southern hemisphere not good for you?- No, I don't even look that side
0:19:58 > 0:20:00- of the globe, I'm not interested. - OK.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02LAUGHTER
0:20:03 > 0:20:07So, I reckon... Wellington... in New Zealand.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10Wellington, in New Zealand, says Jamie...
0:20:10 > 0:20:11CHUCKLES
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18It's absolutely right.
0:20:18 > 0:20:23Well, Durban scored 13, let's see what Wellington does...
0:20:23 > 0:20:24Not bad, you're on the board.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30Yep, the world's southernmost capital city, Wellington...
0:20:30 > 0:20:33so, I think this... if you know your cities this round... you can see,
0:20:33 > 0:20:35- it's easier than it first looked.- Mm.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38John.
0:20:38 > 0:20:42- I'm going to take a... punt at Brisbane?- Brisbane,
0:20:42 > 0:20:44says John. Let's see how many of our 100 people said Brisbane.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49It's right.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03Yeah, home to the famous Gabba test cricket ground, Brisbane.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Thanks very much, halfway through the round let's take
0:21:05 > 0:21:07a look at those scores...
0:21:09 > 0:21:11Lola, who'd have thought? Very well done indeed.
0:21:11 > 0:21:12Sets you up pretty well...
0:21:16 > 0:21:20- Now, James, how's your cricket? - Er, pretty poor, it's...
0:21:20 > 0:21:22but I know places, so I... I'll guess...
0:21:22 > 0:21:25- Listen, know places, will travel. - LAUGHTER
0:21:25 > 0:21:30Er, best of luck. Come back down the line, can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:21:32 > 0:21:36OK, Helen, so we are looking for any city in the southern hemisphere
0:21:36 > 0:21:39that has hosted a test match.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41OK, I think I'm going to say...
0:21:43 > 0:21:47- Johannesburg.- Johannesburg, says Helen. Let's see if that's right
0:21:47 > 0:21:50and if it is let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53The high scorers James and Jamie on 29, there is your red line.
0:21:56 > 0:21:57It's right.
0:22:06 > 0:22:10Another good answer, there's been three test cricket grounds in Johannesburg.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12The first test match there was 1896.
0:22:14 > 0:22:18- That's a long time ago, isn't it? - Mm. Now, James.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21The moment has come, listen, here's your target, you have to score 23
0:22:21 > 0:22:24or less to avoid becoming the new high scorers.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26OK, erm...
0:22:26 > 0:22:28I think I'm going to have to take a guess...
0:22:28 > 0:22:30I'm not sure if I'm pronouncing it right but...
0:22:30 > 0:22:32- Harare?- Harare.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35Harare says James, there is your red line. Let's see how far down
0:22:35 > 0:22:37the column Harare gets you.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41It's absolutely right.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52You are in the head-to-head.
0:22:52 > 0:22:56Yep, Harare, the Zimbabwean capital, held its first test in 1992.
0:22:56 > 0:23:00- Against India. - Thanks very much indeed. Now then...
0:23:00 > 0:23:04- Alice...- Hi.- We have a contest on our hands here, the high scorers
0:23:04 > 0:23:07are Helen and John on 53, you're on 13.
0:23:07 > 0:23:1139 or more less is what you have to score.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15Er, so, I know nothing about cricket.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18Going to stick with South Africa and
0:23:18 > 0:23:22- take a guess on Cape Town. - Cape Town.- Yep.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Cape Town, OK.
0:23:24 > 0:23:28Let's see if you can get below that red line with Cape Town.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38- You've done it... oh, just! - AUDIENCE GASPS
0:23:38 > 0:23:4139 you needed, 38 you got, very well done, indeed.
0:23:43 > 0:23:4451, your total.
0:23:46 > 0:23:50Well played, Alice, cutting it fine, yeah, the Newlands Test Cricket Ground
0:23:50 > 0:23:54- which is at the foot of the... - Very beautiful.- ..Table Mountain. Absolutely gorgeous.
0:23:54 > 0:23:58There's a few pointless answers, well done if you said any of these.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00Centurion in South Africa.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02East London, very tough, that's in South Africa,
0:24:02 > 0:24:05only ever held one test match... Napier in New Zealand.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08And...
0:24:08 > 0:24:10which is also in South Africa.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13- So, very well done if you said any of those.- Thanks very much indeed.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16I'm afraid that at the end of our second round, Helen and John!
0:24:16 > 0:24:20Low scorers in the first round... I thought you were, you were onto something...
0:24:20 > 0:24:22Brisbane, nice low score there.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25I'm afraid, Johannesburg, yes, was just a bit too high.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29Very close, as I predicted. And I'm afraid this is where we have to say goodbye,
0:24:29 > 0:24:32but you've played valiantly, today, it's been great to have you back.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34But thanks so much, Helen and John.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47Congratulations. Lola and Alice, James and Jamie,
0:24:47 > 0:24:49are now one step closer to the final
0:24:49 > 0:24:53and a chance to play for our jackpot which currently stands at...
0:24:53 > 0:24:56Right, we have to decide who's going to play for that money
0:24:56 > 0:24:58and to do that you're now going to go head-to-head.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00The big difference being you can now confer before giving
0:25:00 > 0:25:04your answers and the first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07And, I think, now you can confer this promises to be a pretty
0:25:07 > 0:25:10tight match, so best of luck to both pairs, let's play the head-to-head.
0:25:15 > 0:25:19OK, here comes your first question and it concerns...
0:25:24 > 0:25:28Five pictures now of animals that have their habitat mainly
0:25:28 > 0:25:31or solely in the Arctic, can you give us the English name of the
0:25:31 > 0:25:33most obscure of these, please? Very best of luck.
0:25:33 > 0:25:38OK, let's reveal our five Arctic animals and here they come...
0:25:40 > 0:25:42- Oh-oh-oh.- Oh-oh-oh.
0:25:45 > 0:25:46Aw.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50- Oh-oh, look.- Aw.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54- Oh.- Nah.
0:25:54 > 0:25:55LAUGHTER
0:25:55 > 0:25:58BOTH: Aw, oh...
0:25:58 > 0:26:00Oh-oh-oh, aw-aw...
0:26:00 > 0:26:03C looks a bit like B who's just been in the soot.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05LAUGHTER
0:26:05 > 0:26:08Lola and Alice, you've played best throughout the show so far,
0:26:08 > 0:26:10so you will go first.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12INDISTINCT CONFERRING
0:26:14 > 0:26:17Yeah, we're going to say D is a narwhal.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20- A narwhal.- Yep, my fave.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22There we go. Now, James and Jamie, you...
0:26:22 > 0:26:24Jamie, you're a bit cross that they said narwhal.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27It's like the fish unicorn, it's the best one.
0:26:27 > 0:26:31I don't know. We know B. B's a good one.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34E, I think I should know but I don't...
0:26:34 > 0:26:37I can't remember the... it's something fox but...
0:26:38 > 0:26:43We can guess, I think B is going to be higher than D so we'll guess E...
0:26:44 > 0:26:47- Snow fox.- A snow fox.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51A snow fox. OK, so we have narwhal versus snow fox.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55Lola and Alice said narwhal for D. Let's see if D is a narwhal
0:26:55 > 0:26:57and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01It is, of course, a narwhal...
0:27:13 > 0:27:18James and Jamie said that E was a snow fox...
0:27:18 > 0:27:21let's see if that is right and if it is let's see how many people
0:27:21 > 0:27:22said it.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26It is right...
0:27:34 > 0:27:3654, so, well done, Lola and Alice, narwhal did it for you.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38After one question you are up one nil.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41Yeah, much more commonly known as the arctic fox but they can be
0:27:41 > 0:27:44called the snow fox so an acceptable answer. I would really, really
0:27:44 > 0:27:47- like to have an arctic fox... don't you think?- Mm.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50It'd be nice, look how cute that is. Narwhal less so.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53Now A... is the snowy owl.
0:27:57 > 0:28:01- What do you think polar bear scored? That's B.- I'm thinking, probably,
0:28:01 > 0:28:03somewhere in the high 90s, maybe even 100?
0:28:03 > 0:28:06- 98. 98.- Two people flummoxed by that.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09LAUGHTER Yeah, two people going...
0:28:09 > 0:28:13Two people going, "I don't know, it looks a bit like a bison, is it a bison?"
0:28:13 > 0:28:16LAUGHTER They are incredible swimmers and also very fast runners.
0:28:16 > 0:28:20If they could learn to ride bikes polar bears would be terrific triathletes...
0:28:20 > 0:28:21LAUGHTER
0:28:21 > 0:28:23They really would be amazing.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28C, do you know C? It's a good answer, it's more famous as a character
0:28:28 > 0:28:30from X-Men.
0:28:30 > 0:28:34- No, that's a wolverine.- Yep.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37- Wow.- Would have been a terrific answer.- Look at that!
0:28:37 > 0:28:39I bet that can ride a bike.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43Er, thanks very much indeed, Richard, so here comes your
0:28:43 > 0:28:46second question. James and Jamie, you have to win this one,
0:28:46 > 0:28:49but you answer it first, so good luck with that. It concerns...
0:28:53 > 0:28:56Yep, it had to come up sooner or later and right now it did.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59- Maths, Richard.- Five clues now to facts about mathematics,
0:28:59 > 0:29:01can you give us your most obscure answer? Good luck.
0:29:01 > 0:29:05Thanks very much. OK, let's reveal our five clues and here they come...
0:29:26 > 0:29:28I'll read those all one last time...
0:29:46 > 0:29:49There you go. James and Jamie, you'll go first.
0:29:49 > 0:29:50INDISTINCT CONFERRING
0:29:54 > 0:29:56OK, I think we're going to go... we know a couple of them
0:29:56 > 0:29:59but we're going to go for the bottom one,
0:29:59 > 0:30:01the value of the Roman numerals...
0:30:01 > 0:30:05- we think it's 40.- OK, you're going to say 40, the value of XL.
0:30:06 > 0:30:10Now then, Lola and Alice, the board is all yours.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12Help yourselves.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15What is it...? Yeah, we think it's an acute angle.
0:30:15 > 0:30:19- Erm, and a denominator?- I think it's below the fraction.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22Trying to work out the square root.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24It could be 13.
0:30:24 > 0:30:28- Could be.- Lola really wanted there to be a maths sum as a potential
0:30:28 > 0:30:30round so...
0:30:30 > 0:30:34- OK. Acute.- Let's go acute.- Yeah. - You're going to go acute.- Yeah.
0:30:34 > 0:30:38The angle is acute. So we have 40 versus acute.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40James and Jamie said 40 was the value of XL.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43Let's see if that's right. If it is, let's see how many people said it...
0:30:45 > 0:30:46It's right...
0:30:53 > 0:30:55Wow.
0:30:55 > 0:30:5722.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00Lola and Alice have said an angle less than 90 degrees is called an acute angle.
0:31:00 > 0:31:05Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many people said that.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07It's right...
0:31:15 > 0:31:17So, yeah, James and Jamie, XL wins it for you.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20Slightly surprising only 22 people knew that but well done,
0:31:20 > 0:31:24- you've done exactly what you needed to do. You're back in the game, it's one-all.- Yeah, there was
0:31:24 > 0:31:28only one answer on the board that would have beaten that one, actually.
0:31:28 > 0:31:31One of our 100 people thought the value of XL was extra large.
0:31:31 > 0:31:32LAUGHTER
0:31:32 > 0:31:34That's nice, isn't it?
0:31:34 > 0:31:37Er, now let's take a look at the rest... Lola, you're right
0:31:37 > 0:31:41about the number that appears below the line, that's a denominator.
0:31:41 > 0:31:43- That takes me back to school... - Yeah, yeah.
0:31:43 > 0:31:47It wouldn't have won you the point though cos it would have scored you...
0:31:47 > 0:31:51Do you remember what the, what the number above the line is?
0:31:51 > 0:31:52The... no.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55AUDIENCE MEMBER: Num...
0:31:55 > 0:31:57- Numerator.- Numerator!- There we go.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04Minus 13 can also be the square root.
0:32:04 > 0:32:07Best answer on the board, the British mathematician -
0:32:07 > 0:32:10more famous as one of the godfathers of computing,
0:32:10 > 0:32:12it's Alan Turing.
0:32:12 > 0:32:14Very well done if you said that, pointless answer.
0:32:14 > 0:32:18Thank you very much indeed. So here comes the decider!
0:32:18 > 0:32:20This is your third and final question - whoever wins this
0:32:20 > 0:32:24goes through to the final and plays for that jackpot, best of luck to both pairs... it concerns...
0:32:33 > 0:32:36- Richard...- We're going to show you the title of five literary works.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39Now, we've missed out one word from each and that word is...
0:32:39 > 0:32:41the name of a traditional wedding anniversary.
0:32:41 > 0:32:45- Can you fill in the gaps and get the most obscure one? - Thanks very much indeed.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47OK, let's reveal our five titles and here they come...
0:33:01 > 0:33:03I'll read those all one last time...
0:33:16 > 0:33:19So, Lola and Alice, you will go first again this time.
0:33:19 > 0:33:23- It's quite good isn't it?- Yeah. Philip Pullman's our...- Joint.
0:33:23 > 0:33:27- ..favourite.- Joint favourite. We love him.- Yeah, he's the best.
0:33:27 > 0:33:30So, we're going to go for The Ruby In The Smoke.
0:33:30 > 0:33:35The Ruby In The Smoke, say Lola and Alice. Now, James and Jamie...
0:33:36 > 0:33:39- The board is all yours.- Do you think it is?- Talk us through them all,
0:33:39 > 0:33:44- if you can.- Cat On A Hot Tin Roof by Tennessee Williams.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47The Girl With A Pearl Earring.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50- We don't know the island one.- Yeah. - Paper? I don't know.
0:33:50 > 0:33:54- I know that's a wedding anniversary thing.- Yeah.- A rubbish one.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57There's a film called Steel Magnolias, I don't know if...
0:33:57 > 0:34:00I think we've got to go for anything that's going to beat...
0:34:00 > 0:34:05- we'll go for Steel Magnolias. - Steel Magnolias say James and Jamie. So, we have ruby versus steel.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08Lola and Alice said The Ruby And The Smoke, let's see if that's right,
0:34:08 > 0:34:10let's see how many people said it...
0:34:12 > 0:34:13It's right...
0:34:19 > 0:34:20Oh, very well done...
0:34:25 > 0:34:28Now, James and Jamie have gone for Steel Magnolias, let's see if that's right,
0:34:28 > 0:34:31and if it is, let's see how many people said that...
0:34:32 > 0:34:33It's right...
0:34:34 > 0:34:38It's got to go all the way down to... oh...
0:34:40 > 0:34:44Very well done, Lola and Alice, you have done it, after three questions
0:34:44 > 0:34:46you're through to the final two-one.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49And again, only one answer that would have beaten ruby there.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52Somebody again in our 100, I don't know if it's the same person
0:34:52 > 0:34:54who said XL was extra large, said The House In The Smoke.
0:34:54 > 0:34:58You think, "Blimey, that's not a bad wedding anniversary present, is it?"
0:34:58 > 0:34:59LAUGHTER
0:34:59 > 0:35:02How about that? When do you get that?
0:35:02 > 0:35:06Erm, Cat On A Hot Tin Roof is a big, big scorer, let's take a look...
0:35:08 > 0:35:11The Girl With A Pearl Earring, also a big scorer...
0:35:13 > 0:35:17Now, your 35th wedding anniversary...
0:35:17 > 0:35:19you give the present of...
0:35:19 > 0:35:20coral.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26It's the best answer up there, would have scored you...
0:35:26 > 0:35:29Thanks very much indeed, so the pair leaving us at the end
0:35:29 > 0:35:32of the head-to-head round, I'm afraid it's James and Jamie.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34Well, you did pretty well, erm, you know,
0:35:34 > 0:35:37first appearance on Pointless, through to the head-to-head.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39As the girls will tell you, no mean feat.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41And it also means we get to see you again, you'll be
0:35:41 > 0:35:43back next time. Look forward to that very much indeed,
0:35:43 > 0:35:47but, meantime, thanks very much for playing, James and Jamie.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51But for Lola and Alice, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:55 > 0:35:58Congratulations, Lola and Alice. You've seen off the competition
0:35:58 > 0:36:01and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy, so very well done.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:36:09 > 0:36:12At the end of today's show the jackpot stands at...
0:36:13 > 0:36:15OK, very, very best of luck.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18You get to choose your category from the four on our board.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20Let's have a look at those...
0:36:29 > 0:36:32I'm guessing that... probably not...
0:36:32 > 0:36:36- Erm, I don't have any of Madonna's albums.- Yeah, yep.
0:36:36 > 0:36:37I don't want to offend anyone.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39We know the name of one.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43- Do we? We do?- Yeah. - Shall we do Madonna?- Yeah.
0:36:43 > 0:36:47- OK, you're going to go for Madonna? - Yeah.- We are.- Richard...
0:36:47 > 0:36:49OK, three very different questions here, very best of luck,
0:36:49 > 0:36:53hope one of these suits you... We are looking for the name of any...
0:36:55 > 0:36:58..that's come out before February 2014.
0:36:58 > 0:37:02Anybody credited in her 1992 film...
0:37:02 > 0:37:05so, any of the actors in... apart from Madonna.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07Or any Madonna...
0:37:09 > 0:37:11..up to February 2014.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13So...
0:37:18 > 0:37:20Very, very best of luck.
0:37:20 > 0:37:24OK. Now, as always, you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers
0:37:24 > 0:37:28and all you need to win that jackpot is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:37:28 > 0:37:29- Are you ready? - BOTH: Yes.
0:37:29 > 0:37:32OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock...
0:37:32 > 0:37:35There they are, your time starts now...
0:37:35 > 0:37:39- Have you read any of her children's books?- No. - Have you seen A League Of Their Own?
0:37:39 > 0:37:42I have, there's a really beautiful woman in it that looks a bit like your mum,
0:37:42 > 0:37:43but I've forgotten her name.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45LAUGHTER
0:37:47 > 0:37:49Oh... can't remember what else she was in.
0:37:49 > 0:37:51I don't know, let's just leave that, let's just...
0:37:51 > 0:37:54Number one... Don't Cry For Me Argentina.
0:37:54 > 0:37:57- Like A Prayer.- Like A Virgin. - Ray Of Light.- Ray Of Light.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00- Lucky Star.- Holiday.- Yeah...
0:38:00 > 0:38:03- Quite high.- It would be, that was her first one.
0:38:03 > 0:38:05- Lucky Star was her first one? - Lucky Star was her first one.
0:38:05 > 0:38:08- It would be funny if that was the question.- Um...
0:38:08 > 0:38:09What else did she do?
0:38:09 > 0:38:12- Oh, erm, Frozen?- Yeah, that's a good one, let's do that...
0:38:12 > 0:38:16Frozen. Something like being like a boy, like a girl...?
0:38:16 > 0:38:19INDISTINCT
0:38:19 > 0:38:23- Material Girl.- Material Girl!- Not that one but there's something...
0:38:23 > 0:38:27You're right, isn't it three words? Didn't we see that on Pointless?
0:38:27 > 0:38:30- Oh, no...- It's Like A Girl Is...
0:38:30 > 0:38:32- No.- OK, let's get...
0:38:32 > 0:38:35Frozen, Ray Of Light...
0:38:35 > 0:38:39OK, that is your time up, I'm afraid I now need your three answers.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42- OK.- You were sort of listing them then anyway.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44- Frozen.- Frozen.- Yeah.
0:38:46 > 0:38:50- Ray Of Light.- Yeah.- Ray Of Light. - And... Don't Cry For Me Argentina?
0:38:50 > 0:38:52- Yeah. Go on.- And Don't Cry For Me Argentina.- Yeah.
0:38:52 > 0:38:57- And these are all Madonna... - UK number-one singles.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59- Well, possibly... - We hope.- We hope, yeah...
0:38:59 > 0:39:02They're definitely not children's books...
0:39:02 > 0:39:04- OK.- I don't know if that's true.
0:39:04 > 0:39:06LAUGHTER
0:39:06 > 0:39:09Yeah, OK. Of those three which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:39:09 > 0:39:13- I think Frozen.- Frozen. - Frozen we'll put last. Least likely to be pointless?
0:39:13 > 0:39:14Don't Cry...
0:39:14 > 0:39:17Don't Cry For Me Argentina, we'll put that first.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19OK, let's pop those up on the board in that order,
0:39:19 > 0:39:21and here they are...
0:39:25 > 0:39:28Well, very best of luck, three perfectly good answers
0:39:28 > 0:39:33up there on the board. Your first... These are all, incidentally, Madonna number-one...
0:39:33 > 0:39:35UK number-one singles, we hope.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37Your first answer was...
0:39:37 > 0:39:39Probably the one you thought was least likely
0:39:39 > 0:39:42to be pointless, but what if it is? What if one of these is pointless?
0:39:42 > 0:39:46And you win £1,000. That's a nice thing to be going home with.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49- Oh, yeah. - What would you do with that?
0:39:49 > 0:39:52- We would have a big night out. - A big night out.- Brilliant.
0:39:52 > 0:39:53THEY LAUGH
0:39:53 > 0:39:57- Just put it behind the bar somewhere.- Just us...
0:39:57 > 0:40:01LAUGHTER
0:40:01 > 0:40:04Ex... that is a massive night out, isn't it? Fantastic.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06OK, very, very best of luck, as I say.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09Don't Cry For Me Argentina... let's find out. If it's pointless,
0:40:09 > 0:40:12you will win the jackpot. So, for £1,000, let's see how many
0:40:12 > 0:40:14people said Don't Cry For Me Argentina...
0:40:17 > 0:40:21Oh-wee! Not a number one, I'm guessing.
0:40:21 > 0:40:24- Yep.- Unfortunately, not a pointless answer. Only two more shots
0:40:24 > 0:40:28at the jackpot - your second answer was Ray Of Light.
0:40:28 > 0:40:30Let's find out. If it's pointless you will win £1,000.
0:40:30 > 0:40:33Let's see how many people said Ray Of Light...
0:40:36 > 0:40:38Oh, no!
0:40:38 > 0:40:41Wow, we're clearing the table quite fast here.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44Only one more shot at the jackpot, everything is riding on
0:40:44 > 0:40:48- the answer you thought was the best answer anyway which is... - Yeah.- ..Frozen.
0:40:48 > 0:40:51- Don't even know if it's a Madonna song.- OK, let's find out.
0:40:51 > 0:40:54It has to be right... crucially...
0:40:54 > 0:40:55then it has to be pointless.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58So, for £1,000 let's see how many people said Frozen...
0:41:02 > 0:41:03- It's right!- Oh.
0:41:03 > 0:41:06So your first answer which is Don't Cry For Me Argentina
0:41:06 > 0:41:08was incorrect, your second answer
0:41:08 > 0:41:10Ray Of Light was incorrect...
0:41:10 > 0:41:12No such problem with Frozen, down it goes...
0:41:12 > 0:41:14Eight, oh, I'm sorry!
0:41:17 > 0:41:19Eight people said Frozen.
0:41:20 > 0:41:23I'm sorry... that was a tougher category than we thought.
0:41:23 > 0:41:25You didn't manage to find that all-important
0:41:25 > 0:41:29pointless answer. I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £1,000.
0:41:29 > 0:41:31That will roll over onto the next show but you have been a delight
0:41:31 > 0:41:33on the show, on both shows, in fact, and you get to take
0:41:33 > 0:41:36away a Pointless trophy for your troubles, so there you are,
0:41:36 > 0:41:38- very well done. - BOTH: Thank you.
0:41:44 > 0:41:45Yeah, a valiant attempt there.
0:41:45 > 0:41:47Don't Cry For Me Argentina was number three,
0:41:47 > 0:41:50Ray Of Light was number two, so neither of them number one.
0:41:50 > 0:41:53Actually, in that category, you'll be unsurprised to hear,
0:41:53 > 0:41:57there's only one pointless answer for Madonna number-one singles... it's three-words long...
0:41:57 > 0:41:59the third word is girl...
0:41:59 > 0:42:03- Who's That Girl?- No.- It's OK. I don't now that.- Good, good, good.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06Let's take a look at the... pointless answers in the other categories.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09There's lots more in the others.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12Of her children's books in the English Roses series, all of
0:42:12 > 0:42:13these are from that...
0:42:20 > 0:42:23- The person who looks like Lola's mum is Geena Davis.- That's it.
0:42:23 > 0:42:25- The beautiful Geena Davis.- Wow.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33Lots of other pointless answers there but those are the biggest names.
0:42:33 > 0:42:37Er, we've already said the Madonna songs, there's only Who's That Girl?
0:42:37 > 0:42:40I'll tell you some of the other low scorers. Sorry would have scored one point.
0:42:40 > 0:42:43You'd have got two points for Into The Groove, Hung Up and 4 Minutes.
0:42:43 > 0:42:45You'd have got four points for True Blue, American Pie and
0:42:45 > 0:42:47La Isla Bonita. Music would have scored you six.
0:42:47 > 0:42:51Papa Don't Preach - 11. Vogue - 18. And Like A Prayer - 18 as well.
0:42:51 > 0:42:53Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:42:53 > 0:42:56Well, we have to say goodbye, Lola and Alice, but it's been
0:42:56 > 0:42:59brilliant having you on the show, thank you so much for playing
0:42:59 > 0:43:02- and playing so well... Alice and Lola.- Thanks.
0:43:04 > 0:43:07Well, Lola and Alice didn't win our jackpot today, which means
0:43:07 > 0:43:12it rolls over onto the next show, when we will be playing for £2,000.
0:43:12 > 0:43:15Join us then to see if someone can win it.
0:43:15 > 0:43:17- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:17 > 0:43:19And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
