0:00:20 > 0:00:21APPLAUSE
0:00:21 > 0:00:24Thanks very much indeed, I'm Alexander Armstrong,
0:00:24 > 0:00:26welcome to Pointless, the game where we aim
0:00:26 > 0:00:28for the obscure and ignore the obvious.
0:00:28 > 0:00:29Let's meet today's players.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35And couple number one.
0:00:35 > 0:00:39Hi, I'm James, this is my friend Dave, we're from South Wales.
0:00:39 > 0:00:40Couple number two.
0:00:40 > 0:00:44I'm Jill and this is Alan, my quiz partner and a friend,
0:00:44 > 0:00:45and we're both from Somerset.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Couple number three.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51Hello, my name's Mags and this is my friend Ryan, we're from Dunfermline.
0:00:51 > 0:00:52And finally, couple number four.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Ellen, I'm from Lichfield,
0:00:54 > 0:00:56and this is my Aunt Babs, who's from Surrey.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58And these are today's contestants.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04Thanks, all of you, we'll find out more about you throughout the show.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06So that just leaves one person to introduce,
0:01:06 > 0:01:09the sheriff of a spit-and-sawdust town called Obscurity.
0:01:09 > 0:01:10LAUGHTER
0:01:10 > 0:01:13And it's a town which literally isn't big enough for the both of us,
0:01:13 > 0:01:16- it's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.- Hiya!
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Hi, everybody, afternoon.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23- Oh, I haven't got over the last show yet.- Wasn't that exciting?
0:01:23 > 0:01:26Amazing, Shihaab and Guy, we've rarely seen a better performance
0:01:26 > 0:01:28in Pointless history, have we?
0:01:28 > 0:01:32Absolutely blew the whole thing away, incredible performance.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Took home £10,250.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37Oh, yes.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40But took it home well, you wouldn't have resented,
0:01:40 > 0:01:43it was really an amazing performance.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46But we start again, we've got two returning pairs, which is
0:01:46 > 0:01:50always lovely, two new pairs welcomed along.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53We're not playing for £10,250, but what a way to finish that run.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56- Terrific.- Really deserved it.
0:01:56 > 0:01:57Such a deserving pair.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00And the first two rounds today, just cos we're starting again,
0:02:00 > 0:02:02you need very different skill sets for the first two rounds.
0:02:02 > 0:02:07Anyone who's good at Round One and Round Two is a good quizzer.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Thanks. All of our questions on Pointless have been
0:02:09 > 0:02:12put to 100 people before the show, our contestants need to find the
0:02:12 > 0:02:14obscure answers those 100 people didn't get.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Everyone's trying to find a pointless answer,
0:02:16 > 0:02:19that being one that none of our 100 people gave,
0:02:19 > 0:02:22and each time that happens we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25As you'll have gathered, Guy and Shihaab won the jackpot
0:02:25 > 0:02:28last time, so today's jackpot starts off back at £1,000.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38The pairs with the highest score at the end of the round
0:02:38 > 0:02:39will be eliminated.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43And do remember that there is to be no conferring during the round.
0:02:43 > 0:02:44OK, our first category today is...
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:02:50 > 0:02:52who's going to go second?
0:02:52 > 0:02:55And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58OK, let's find out what the question is.
0:02:58 > 0:03:03We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Specifically we're looking for the name of anyone who's won
0:03:10 > 0:03:14the Best Actress or Best Actor at the British Soap Awards from 1999
0:03:14 > 0:03:18- when it was first awarded - up to 2013.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21So anyone who's won the Best Actress or Best Actor award.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24- Very best of luck. - Thanks very much.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26James and Dave, you all drew lots before the show
0:03:26 > 0:03:28and today you are going to go first.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31James, welcome to Pointless, great to have you, what do you do?
0:03:31 > 0:03:34- I'm a copywriter.- For advertising?
0:03:34 > 0:03:39Yes, think of the lovely bits of junk mail that you enjoy getting.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41- Oh, I love those! - Yeah, I write some of the best ones.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44I do often wonder who writes those things, cos they are wonderful.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48And it's you! What are your interests outside copywriting?
0:03:48 > 0:03:49I write other things as well.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53- I was going to say, copywriters are usually thwarted authors.- Yes.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Or perhaps not so thwarted?
0:03:55 > 0:04:00I've written a children's book, took me 25 years to finish.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Yeah, I know that feeling. What's it called?
0:04:03 > 0:04:05It's called the Pickle-Smith Trunk-Warmer.
0:04:05 > 0:04:09- The Pickle-Smith Trunk-Warmer? - Yes. Try forgetting that one.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12I'm going to have a job forgetting that one probably!
0:04:12 > 0:04:15James, there we are, do you follow soap operas at all?
0:04:15 > 0:04:18- Are you an addict of any of them? - Of Coronation Street.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Perfect, you should have a good answer then.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24I'm going to go for Simon Gregson.
0:04:24 > 0:04:29OK, let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said it.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35Ooh, no! Bad luck, James.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38That's good Pointless tactics, but I'm afraid an incorrect answer,
0:04:38 > 0:04:41scores you the maximum of 100 points.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44Yeah, unlucky, James, I thought that would be right, plays Steve McDonald
0:04:44 > 0:04:47of course, been nominated a couple of times but has never won.
0:04:47 > 0:04:52- Right, Jill, welcome back. - Thank you.- What happened last time?
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Well, I didn't know the nationality of -
0:04:55 > 0:04:58well, I knew some, but they were too well known - of tennis players.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Yeah. Now remind us what you get up to, Jill.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05I'm retired now, of course, usual granny pursuits,
0:05:05 > 0:05:09but I'm a great festival-goer and gig-goer, and I go to
0:05:09 > 0:05:15lots of concerts, and I've been going to Glastonbury since...1978.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Which was the best year in your opinion?
0:05:17 > 0:05:19The best year? When there's no rain.
0:05:19 > 0:05:24But the highlight for me was seeing Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros,
0:05:24 > 0:05:26cos I'd seen him as The Clash in the seventies
0:05:26 > 0:05:32- and it was great seeing a sort of reincarnation.- Fantastic.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34OK, how about soap operas?
0:05:34 > 0:05:39Well, I watch them occasionally, the one that stands out for me,
0:05:39 > 0:05:41but whether she's ever won an award - and if she hasn't
0:05:41 > 0:05:45somebody should be listening and give her one - June Brown.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47June Brown, let's find out if that's right,
0:05:47 > 0:05:50how many people said June Brown?
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Oh, no!
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Oh, take note, British Soap Awards.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01June Brown, another unlucky incorrect answer,
0:06:01 > 0:06:03scores you the maximum of 100 points.
0:06:03 > 0:06:04Well, you're in good company.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07- What ARE they playing at? - I've no idea.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10The wonderful June Brown, she has had a Lifetime Achievement Award,
0:06:10 > 0:06:11to be fair.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14- Fair enough.- She's not won Best Actress I'm afraid.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18- Thank you, Richard. Now, Ryan, welcome to the show.- Hello.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20- Here from Dunfermline?- Yes. - What do you do, Ryan?
0:06:20 > 0:06:23I'm a full-time business management student,
0:06:23 > 0:06:25and when I'm not there I'm a part-time bookmaker, a bookie.
0:06:25 > 0:06:30A bookie? What do you do at the bookies, you take the bets or...?
0:06:30 > 0:06:34- Take bets, deal with some characters...- Oh, I bet you do.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38- Oh, the Dunfermline locals, oh. - Quite something.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40Do you have a little bet going yourself?
0:06:40 > 0:06:42No, I'm not supposed to bet, our own company,
0:06:42 > 0:06:44so I have to find other means.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48- Do you have to nip down the road to the rivals?- I do indeed, yes.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52I'm just checking out the competition, if anyone asks.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56Very good. Now then, what about these soap opera awards?
0:06:56 > 0:07:01It's a difficult one. I'm going to hazard a guess at Steve McFadden.
0:07:01 > 0:07:07Well, quite a few high scores, shall we say, so let's see
0:07:07 > 0:07:10if Steve McFadden is right, and if it is, how many people said that.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16- Oh, no!- Goodness me.- Wow.
0:07:16 > 0:07:23OK, another 100, an incorrect answer I'm afraid, 100 points for you.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26- Weird, isn't it?- Yeah.- He's won Villain of the Year, Steve McFadden.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28I'll bet he has.
0:07:28 > 0:07:33Thanks very much. Now then, Babs.
0:07:33 > 0:07:38Welcome back. Oh, you're putting a brave smile on.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42Don't think I can't see the bravery there on that last podium,
0:07:42 > 0:07:48you were THAT close to going into the final, chickpeas away.
0:07:48 > 0:07:53- It was a pulses round, very exciting.- Uh, amazing.- Oh!
0:07:53 > 0:07:55Now, Babs, do you follow soap operas at all?
0:07:55 > 0:07:58I've got a couple of answers,
0:07:58 > 0:08:01but I'm not sure they're any better than what's already gone.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03This has got to be a little reassuring, hasn't it?
0:08:03 > 0:08:05- LAUGHTER - What has gone before.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09Um...yeah. What are you going to go for?
0:08:09 > 0:08:11I really still can't make up my mind,
0:08:11 > 0:08:14but I think I will say Letitia Dean.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17Let's find out if Letitia Dean is a correct answer,
0:08:17 > 0:08:19shall we just go for that for now?
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Oh, wow, look at that.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30This is like whatever the opposite of shooting fish in a barrel is.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Unfortunately, an incorrect answer,
0:08:32 > 0:08:35that scores you the maximum of 100 points.
0:08:35 > 0:08:36Going very well, isn't it?
0:08:36 > 0:08:39I have to say, four perfectly good answers,
0:08:39 > 0:08:40though it's interesting,
0:08:40 > 0:08:43we're looking for Best Actress or Best Actor, you could have
0:08:43 > 0:08:47said Archbishop Desmond Tutu and you'd still be in the joint lead.
0:08:49 > 0:08:50Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53We're halfway through the round, let's take a look at those scores.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55LAUGHTER
0:08:55 > 0:08:59Well, we're pretty much as we were when we started out.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03Mags, Ellen, Jill, Dave, let's think really hard,
0:09:03 > 0:09:05all you have to go for now is a really obvious answer.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Normally I wouldn't say that,
0:09:07 > 0:09:09but I think it's probably time to bring out the big guns.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Best of luck with that, it's anyone's game, very exciting.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14We're going to come back down the line,
0:09:14 > 0:09:16can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:09:19 > 0:09:23OK, Ellen, remember, we are looking for Best Actor or Best Actress
0:09:23 > 0:09:25winners at the British Soap Awards.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29Ellen, welcome back to Pointless, remind us what you do?
0:09:29 > 0:09:32- I'm a student at Lancaster University.- And you're studying?
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Ethics, philosophy and religion.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37I was reading about you, you're quite a fan of tattoos.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41- Yeah, I have several. - What's your favourite?
0:09:41 > 0:09:44I have some lyrics on my arm that I'm quite fond of.
0:09:44 > 0:09:49- Which lyrics are they?- They're David Bowie lyrics from Ashes to Ashes.
0:09:49 > 0:09:50Which particular lyric have you gone for?
0:09:50 > 0:09:53It says, "I'm happy, hope you're happy too."
0:09:53 > 0:09:56- Aww, that's a nice lyric.- Thank you.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Could have said, "We all know Major Tom's a junkie",
0:09:59 > 0:10:03which is nice not to have tattooed on your arm.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05OK, Ellen, is it time?
0:10:05 > 0:10:07I think it's time to break the jinx,
0:10:07 > 0:10:09let's see if we can get down this column.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12I don't really know that many soap actors or actresses,
0:10:12 > 0:10:17but I do read Heat, so we're going to go with...Michelle Keegan?
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Let's see if that's right,
0:10:19 > 0:10:23and if it is, how many of our 100 people said it.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Ohh! And on it goes.
0:10:28 > 0:10:33I'm afraid an incorrect answer, Ellen, takes your total up to 200.
0:10:35 > 0:10:36LAUGHTER
0:10:36 > 0:10:39I tell you what, it's going to be a hell of a tie-break.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44Again, a perfectly good answer, she's won soap awards,
0:10:44 > 0:10:46but not Best Actress.
0:10:46 > 0:10:50Now then, Mags, great to have you here from Dunfermline,
0:10:50 > 0:10:52what do you do?
0:10:52 > 0:10:54I am a membership coordinator
0:10:54 > 0:10:57for a local sustainable food project in Fife.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59And how do you and Ryan know each other?
0:10:59 > 0:11:01We used to work together,
0:11:01 > 0:11:05we were telephone fundraisers for a while, so we used to phone people
0:11:05 > 0:11:08when they were having their tea, ask them for money.
0:11:08 > 0:11:13- We bonded over that.- Good stuff. OK, Mags, do you follow soap operas?
0:11:13 > 0:11:15No, this is like the worst thing that could come up for me.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18That need be no impediment.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22There was one name that kind of jumped at me.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24I'm going to go for Lacey Turner.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Ooh, look, we've got a red line for you, that's the first time.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33The high-scorers at the moment are Ellen and Babs on 200,
0:11:33 > 0:11:37if you can score 99 or less, you're into the next round.
0:11:37 > 0:11:38And I'll be very grateful.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40LAUGHTER
0:11:40 > 0:11:42Lacey Turner, let's see if that's right, and if it is,
0:11:42 > 0:11:44how many people said it. There's your red line.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50Look at that, Mags, very well done indeed! Lacey Turner!
0:11:50 > 0:11:53What a turn-up for the books,
0:11:53 > 0:11:55there she goes, down to four.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57Not just a correct answer, but a brilliant answer,
0:11:57 > 0:12:01lovely low score, takes your total up to 104.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Ah, well played, Mags, that's the way to do it - know nothing
0:12:04 > 0:12:07about the subject and jump in there with a brilliant answer.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10Yes, played Stacey Slater, she's won it twice.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15Alan. Welcome back, Alan, remind us what you do in Somerset?
0:12:15 > 0:12:20I'm retired, and, erm, I cycle a lot.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23I tell you what I'm getting at,
0:12:23 > 0:12:27last time you were about to start telling us about belly dancing.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30And you said, "I think you know where this is going",
0:12:30 > 0:12:32and I'll be honest, at the time I didn't really,
0:12:32 > 0:12:35but now I've given it some thought, I think I do know.
0:12:35 > 0:12:36Were you about to tell us that you've
0:12:36 > 0:12:39- done a bit of belly dancing yourself?- I have been known to.
0:12:39 > 0:12:45We holiday in Egypt, and when we were last there, there was
0:12:45 > 0:12:46some dancing going on.
0:12:46 > 0:12:51The locals gave me a stick, and I tend to do a stick dance.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53- You tend to do a stick dance?!- Yeah.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57The guy came over and said, "Are you Egyptian?"
0:12:57 > 0:13:00"No, no, no. Bristol, just down the M5, you know."
0:13:02 > 0:13:05"I think there's something your parents haven't told you."
0:13:05 > 0:13:07- So good was your stick dancing? - Yeah, well...
0:13:07 > 0:13:09Alan, just quickly show us what a stick dance looks like.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12It's almost like a broomstick, and you sort of...
0:13:14 > 0:13:15Are you Egyptian, Alan?
0:13:15 > 0:13:17LAUGHTER
0:13:17 > 0:13:21- That movement was extraordinary. - Fair old mover, isn't he?
0:13:21 > 0:13:25- He's a fair old mover, yeah. - For a 65-year-old, yeah, it's OK.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27At any age I think that's good,
0:13:27 > 0:13:29I'd give my hind teeth to stick dance like that.
0:13:29 > 0:13:34Alan, we have high-scorers, Ellen and Babs,
0:13:34 > 0:13:39we have 104, which is a good aim, if you can go for something between
0:13:39 > 0:13:4499 and four in your answer, you'll make it through to the next round.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46I'm going to try for Martine McCutcheon.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Here's your red line, a nice high one. Get below that, you're through.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56Let's see if Martine McCutcheon ever won a soap award as Best Actress.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01No, she didn't!
0:14:01 > 0:14:04Oh, this is the round that's going to go on forever.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06There we are, that scores you the maximum of 100 points,
0:14:06 > 0:14:08takes your total up to 200.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Sorry, Alan, another deserving winner,
0:14:10 > 0:14:14Martine McCutcheon, but no award.
0:14:14 > 0:14:19Thanks very much indeed. Dave, great to have you here, what do you do?
0:14:19 > 0:14:22I'm a marketing trainer for a small marketing consultancy,
0:14:22 > 0:14:24so I present seminars.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28To small businesses, to try and get them to grow their company,
0:14:28 > 0:14:30increase profits, that sort of thing,
0:14:30 > 0:14:33and then at the weekend I work for a radio station in Wales.
0:14:33 > 0:14:38"And here's Michael Buble." Aww, I'm glad you still do
0:14:38 > 0:14:42the radio station, you couldn't be putting that Dave vox to waste,
0:14:42 > 0:14:45- that would be terrible. - So people tell me.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49Dave, let's see if we can find any winner of Best Actor
0:14:49 > 0:14:51or Best Actress at the British Soap Awards.
0:14:51 > 0:14:56I'm going to have a stab at Alan Halsall from Coronation Street.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00There's your red line, you've got to get below that, Dave.
0:15:00 > 0:15:04Let's see if Alan Halsall is right and how many people said it.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08It's right, very well done, Dave.
0:15:08 > 0:15:09Oh!
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Four!
0:15:15 > 0:15:18There we are, great economy of numbers there, you join Mags
0:15:18 > 0:15:21and Ryan on 104, well done, you're through.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Very well played, yeah, plays Tyrone Dobbs of course.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26I think that's the first round in Pointless history
0:15:26 > 0:15:28- where there's only been two scores. - At the end of the round, yeah.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32100, which six of you got, and four, which two of you got.
0:15:32 > 0:15:37- Anyway, now we go into LOCKDOWN. - Lockdown!- Lockdown!
0:15:38 > 0:15:40Actually, that's good, I might... LOCKDOWN!
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Know what I'm going to do, for the first time ever
0:15:42 > 0:15:44on my computer, that doesn't work?
0:15:44 > 0:15:47I'm going to press caps lock. LAUGHTER
0:15:47 > 0:15:49BOTH: LOCKDOWN!
0:15:52 > 0:15:57So yes, as we have reached lockdown...
0:15:57 > 0:15:59RICHARD LAUGHS
0:15:59 > 0:16:00We've reached Lockdown,
0:16:00 > 0:16:03which means the LOCKDOWN PAIRS have to give me one more answer
0:16:03 > 0:16:07each, and the pair that gets the highest score will be ELIMINATED.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Alan and Jill, you will go first, and you can confer.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21- Suranne Jones.- OK, Suranne Jones.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Ellen and Babs, who you going to go for?
0:16:24 > 0:16:28I think we're going to say Barbara Windsor.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31OK, so we have Suranne Jones, Barbara Windsor,
0:16:31 > 0:16:32let's put them to the test.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35Suranne Jones, is that right, how many people said it?
0:16:38 > 0:16:39- It's right.- Oh!
0:16:39 > 0:16:43It's right, Alan and Jill, Suranne Jones is a correct answer
0:16:43 > 0:16:45and it's a low score as well. Look at that!
0:16:45 > 0:16:48- It's pointless! - CHEERING
0:16:48 > 0:16:52That is a pointless answer, it adds £250 to today's jackpot,
0:16:52 > 0:16:54takes the total up to...
0:16:56 > 0:16:58And it scores you nothing.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00Where was Suranne Jones
0:17:00 > 0:17:02in the first bit of this round?
0:17:02 > 0:17:06Ellen and Babs, that's what you have to beat.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09Who knows, maybe Barbara Windsor is also a pointless answer.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Let's find out - is Barbara Windsor right,
0:17:11 > 0:17:12how many people said it if it is?
0:17:14 > 0:17:15It's right.
0:17:17 > 0:17:18Now...
0:17:18 > 0:17:21Barbara has a mountain to climb here if she's going to be...
0:17:21 > 0:17:23Oooh, bad luck, 14.
0:17:26 > 0:17:3114, takes your total up to 214.
0:17:31 > 0:17:36That is the first time we've ever had a pointless answer in a tie-break.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38First time anyone's ever joined the 200 club AND
0:17:38 > 0:17:42added £250 to the jackpot in the same round.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44That is some going.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46In the annals of Pointless history
0:17:46 > 0:17:48there will be a big photo of the two of you.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51Quite a few pointless answers here, let's take a look.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54People at home will have got some, you'll know them as well,
0:17:54 > 0:17:57I know you know your soaps from the answers you were giving.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Antony Cotton would have been pointless,
0:17:59 > 0:18:02played Sean Tully in Corrie.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06Brian Capron, the evil killer Richard Hillman.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Joe Absolom, who played Matthew in EastEnders.
0:18:10 > 0:18:11You could have had Natalie Cassidy!
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Patsy Palmer as well, Bianca Jackson of course.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16Robert Kazinsky from EastEnders, played Sean Slater.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20And Suranne Jones, there you go,
0:18:20 > 0:18:26married of course to Steve McDonald, should have been there but wasn't.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29Some other low scorers - Kacey Ainsworth, Martin Kemp,
0:18:29 > 0:18:31they both would have scored you one point.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Ross Kemp would have scored you four points,
0:18:33 > 0:18:36Shane Ritchie, six points, so plenty of answers up there,
0:18:36 > 0:18:39and you gave all these obvious ones,
0:18:39 > 0:18:43and in a minefield managed to miss every single one of them.
0:18:43 > 0:18:44Thanks very much, Richard.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47So I'm afraid, at the end of our first round, the pair leaving
0:18:47 > 0:18:51with a historically high score of 214, it's Ellen and Babs.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53I'm sorry we have to say goodbye to you, it's been lovely
0:18:53 > 0:18:55having you on the show, thanks for playing.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Ellen and Babs!
0:18:59 > 0:19:02But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09And so, three pairs remain.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11At the end of this round we have to say goodbye to another.
0:19:11 > 0:19:17Special mention to Mags and Dave for breaking the jinx there
0:19:17 > 0:19:19and scoring four apiece.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22And extra special mention to Alan and Jill for getting
0:19:22 > 0:19:27Suranne Jones in the Lockdown, that was very exciting indeed.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30Here we all are, about a year older...
0:19:30 > 0:19:31but we've made it to Round Two.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35Best of luck to all three pairs, the category is...
0:19:37 > 0:19:40Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:19:40 > 0:19:41who's going to go second?
0:19:41 > 0:19:44And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49OK, and the question concerns...
0:19:54 > 0:19:55I thought for one terrible moment
0:19:55 > 0:19:57it was going to be the History of the British Soap Awards.
0:19:57 > 0:20:01But it's not. We're going to show you on each pass six historical events
0:20:01 > 0:20:03and the year they took place, you need to tell us
0:20:03 > 0:20:06the modern-day countries in which they all happened, please.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Six on each pass, 12 in all to get at home.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10As always, by "country", I mean sovereign state
0:20:10 > 0:20:12- that's a member of the UN. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15So we're looking for the modern-day countries in which these
0:20:15 > 0:20:18historic events took place, and here's our first board of six.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49There we are, six historic events.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52James, we need the modern-day countries
0:20:52 > 0:20:55in which they took place, what do you make of that board?
0:20:55 > 0:21:00I know three or four, I think I'm going to hark back to my
0:21:00 > 0:21:04history O-level and go for Night of the Long Knives,
0:21:04 > 0:21:06which happened in Germany.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said it.
0:21:15 > 0:21:16It's right.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Very well done indeed, nine.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30- Nine for Germany. - Well played, James.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33Yeah, the purge of competing Nazi leaders by Adolf Hitler.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Thanks very much indeed.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37Now then, Alan, what do you make of that board?
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Yeah, I know a couple.
0:21:40 > 0:21:48I'm going to run with the Fall of the Shah, in Iran in 1979.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said it.
0:21:56 > 0:21:57It's right.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01Nine is the low score at the moment.
0:22:02 > 0:22:0416.
0:22:07 > 0:22:0916 for Iran.
0:22:09 > 0:22:14Yeah, never returned to Iran, the Shah, died in 1980 in Egypt.
0:22:14 > 0:22:19- Thanks very much, Richard. How good's your history, Mags?- Well...
0:22:20 > 0:22:23..I only know the two kind of obvious ones,
0:22:23 > 0:22:26so Apartheid would be South Africa
0:22:26 > 0:22:29and Cultural Revolution, China.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32The other two, even the dates don't mean anything to me,
0:22:32 > 0:22:34so I'm not even going to hazard a guess.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37I'm going to go with Cultural Revolution and China.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45It's right.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51Not a bad score, 12, there we are!
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Scores less than Iran.
0:22:56 > 0:23:00Yes, launched by Mao Zedong and killed nearly half a million people.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02A terrific answer, you're right,
0:23:02 > 0:23:05there's two very tough ones in the middle of that board.
0:23:05 > 0:23:11Apartheid is South Africa of course, very low score though, 48.
0:23:11 > 0:23:12These other two...
0:23:12 > 0:23:17Very well done if you got the St Bartholomew's Day Massacre, France.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22That would have scored you one point. Spanish Fury...
0:23:22 > 0:23:26If I had to guess, I'd probably say Peru or something like that.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29Oh, it's really nearly Peru, really nearly - it's Belgium.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31LAUGHTER
0:23:31 > 0:23:33And it was a pointless answer.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36Took place in Antwerp, now in Belgium of course.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38Thanks very much indeed. OK, let's take a look at the scores,
0:23:38 > 0:23:40we're halfway through the round.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42Nine, the best score of that pass, James, very well done.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46Then up to 12, where we find Mags and Ryan. Up to 16, Alan and Jill.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49But it's quite a nice tight little group there.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51But you are out in front, so we'll need a low score from you,
0:23:51 > 0:23:53Jill, on the next pass.
0:23:53 > 0:23:54We're going to come back down the line,
0:23:54 > 0:23:57can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:24:00 > 0:24:03OK, let's put six more historical events on the board, here they come.
0:24:03 > 0:24:04We have got...
0:24:36 > 0:24:39OK, remember, we are looking for the modern-day countries
0:24:39 > 0:24:42in which these events took place. Ryan, you're going to try and find
0:24:42 > 0:24:44the one you think the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:24:44 > 0:24:49I'd rather have a right answer than a wrong answer at all again.
0:24:49 > 0:24:53So I'll hazard a guess at the Landing of the Mayflower
0:24:53 > 0:24:54and the United States of America.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59Well, if you want to avoid becoming the new high-scorers
0:24:59 > 0:25:02this would ideally score you three or less.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04But let's find out who many of our 100 people said
0:25:04 > 0:25:06the Landing of the Mayflower in the United States,
0:25:06 > 0:25:07there's your red line.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18Still going down...STILL going down
0:25:18 > 0:25:19- look at that, 15.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24Not bad. Takes your total up to 27, Ryan.
0:25:24 > 0:25:28- That's an amazingly low score for the Landing of the Mayflower.- Isn't it?
0:25:28 > 0:25:32Yeah, landed first at Cape Cod and then settled at Plymouth.
0:25:32 > 0:25:33Thanks, Richard.
0:25:33 > 0:25:38Now then, Jill, you're on 16, the high-scorers are now
0:25:38 > 0:25:40Mags and Ryan, so ten or less,
0:25:40 > 0:25:42you will make it through to the next round.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45OK.
0:25:45 > 0:25:50I'll go the Salt March, and I think that's India.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56That's your red line, get below that, you're in the head-to-head.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00It's right.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Ooh, well done. Two for the Salt March.
0:26:09 > 0:26:10- ALAN:- Fantastic.
0:26:12 > 0:26:1318 is your total.
0:26:13 > 0:26:18Tell you what I love - Salt March lamb, that's delicious.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21Well, this was the Salt March organised by Gandhi,
0:26:21 > 0:26:24a non-violent protest against the salt tax, very, very good answer.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26Thanks very much indeed.
0:26:26 > 0:26:31Dave, you're the last person to go, why not talk us through the board?
0:26:31 > 0:26:34You have to score 17 or less.
0:26:34 > 0:26:38Just like Ryan, a nightmare option this one.
0:26:38 > 0:26:44So I'm going to go for The Rumble in the Jungle, and something
0:26:44 > 0:26:49tells me, in the back of my mind, Manila in the Philippines.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54There's your red line. Get below that, you're in the head-to-head.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56Let's see if the Philippines is right,
0:26:56 > 0:26:58and if it is, how many people said it.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03Oooh, bad luck, Dave, I'm sorry.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06You're going to kick yourself.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11I'm afraid that scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 109.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13Yeah, sorry, Dave, The Rumble in the Jungle
0:27:13 > 0:27:16wasn't in Manila, I THINK The Thrilla in Manila was in Manila.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18LAUGHTER
0:27:18 > 0:27:21A different fight, but they're often lumped together.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23It was actually in Zaire,
0:27:23 > 0:27:25and the modern name of that country is
0:27:25 > 0:27:27The Democratic Republic of the Congo,
0:27:27 > 0:27:29would have been a terrific answer though, one point.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32Very well done to anyone that said that at home.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35Signing of the Maastricht Treaty, do you know that one?
0:27:35 > 0:27:38- Luxembourg, isn't it?- It's not, it's the Netherlands, just up the road.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42Would have scored you ten points. The Murder of Rasputin?
0:27:42 > 0:27:45- Russia.- Yeah, that's the biggest scorer up there, 47.
0:27:45 > 0:27:49The Siege of Carthage... it's a tough one.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51It's North Africa, isn't it?
0:27:51 > 0:27:53Yep. It's Tunisia.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56Very well done if you said that, five points.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59Tough board there, anyone who got all of those, it's terrific work.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02Thanks very much indeed. So, at the end of our second round,
0:28:02 > 0:28:07the pair heading home with our high score of 109, it's Dave and James.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09I'm sorry, yes, The Thrilla in Manila.
0:28:10 > 0:28:16- It'll curse me for years.- The Rumble in Manila, yes.- He will shoot me.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18Listen, Dave and James, it's been great having you on,
0:28:18 > 0:28:20and the good news is we get to see you next time.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23Thanks meantime for playing. Dave and James!
0:28:27 > 0:28:31But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for the head-to-head.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36Congratulations, Mags and Ryan, Alan and Jill,
0:28:36 > 0:28:38you're now one step closer to the final and a chance to
0:28:38 > 0:28:41play for our jackpot, which currently stands at...
0:28:43 > 0:28:45Now, we have to decide who's going to play for that jackpot,
0:28:45 > 0:28:48and to do that you're now going to go head-to-head,
0:28:48 > 0:28:50the difference being you're now allowed to confer.
0:28:50 > 0:28:54The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57Best of luck to both pairs, let's play the head-to-head.
0:29:02 > 0:29:05OK, here comes your first question, and it concerns...
0:29:11 > 0:29:13Going to show you five pictures now of people born in or
0:29:13 > 0:29:16famously associated with the historic country of Lancashire.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18Can you name the most obscure please?
0:29:18 > 0:29:21Thanks very much indeed, let's reveal our five Lancastrians,
0:29:21 > 0:29:22and here they are.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25We have got...
0:29:40 > 0:29:42There we are, five famous Lancastrians.
0:29:42 > 0:29:45Mags and Ryan, you've played best throughout the show
0:29:45 > 0:29:46so far, so you will go first.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50THEY WHISPER
0:29:50 > 0:29:54(What's Flintoff's first name? Andrew Flintoff, yeah.
0:29:54 > 0:30:00(I really don't know the other ones. I think C's my gran.)
0:30:00 > 0:30:02RYAN LAUGHS
0:30:02 > 0:30:05We're going to go for A, Andrew Flintoff.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11Now, Alan and Jill, do you want to take us through the board?
0:30:13 > 0:30:16I can't see B very well, I think it might be Anthony Burgess,
0:30:16 > 0:30:19but I'm not going to risk it I don't think.
0:30:19 > 0:30:21C, we think is Thora Hird.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23D is Geoff Hurst, the footballer,
0:30:23 > 0:30:25probably just won the World Cup then.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28- And E...- Eric.- ..is Eric.
0:30:29 > 0:30:32- D?- All right.- D, Geoff Hurst.
0:30:35 > 0:30:38So we have Andrew Flintoff and Geoff Hurst.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40Mags and Ryan went with Andrew Flintoff,
0:30:40 > 0:30:44let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said it.
0:30:44 > 0:30:45It's right.
0:30:47 > 0:30:5059, a high score there.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57Now then, Alan and Jill have said D, Geoff Hurst.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59D, Geoff Hurst. Let's see if that's right,
0:30:59 > 0:31:01and if it is, how many of our 100 people said that.
0:31:04 > 0:31:05It's right.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09And you win the point. Very well done, Alan and Jill.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11- 33 for Geoff Hurst. - APPLAUSE
0:31:14 > 0:31:17Which means, after one question, Alan and Jill, you are up 1-0.
0:31:17 > 0:31:18Very well played.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21Alan, you said it must be just after the World Cup -
0:31:21 > 0:31:23it's actually a couple of months before the World Cup,
0:31:23 > 0:31:26so it was all to come for Geoff Hurst when that picture was taken.
0:31:26 > 0:31:27Now, we'll deal with B in a moment.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30C, you're absolutely right, was Thora Hird.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32She would have scored you 39 points.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35E, of course, is Eric Morecambe.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37Would have scored you 78.
0:31:38 > 0:31:42And if you'd had to have a punt on B, Jill, what would you have gone for?
0:31:42 > 0:31:44Well, I think it's Anthony Burgess, but I'm not sure,
0:31:44 > 0:31:48and I'm not sure whether he came from Lancaster or not.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50Well, Anthony Burgess was born in Manchester,
0:31:50 > 0:31:52and that IS Anthony Burgess.
0:31:52 > 0:31:53Would have scored you 5 points.
0:31:53 > 0:31:57You got the point anyway, you took us through the board perfectly.
0:31:57 > 0:31:58Well played, as a pair.
0:31:58 > 0:31:59Thanks very much indeed.
0:31:59 > 0:32:01OK, here comes your second question.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03Alan and Jill will get to answer it first,
0:32:03 > 0:32:06but Mags and Ryan, you have to win this one to stay in the game.
0:32:06 > 0:32:07Best of luck. It concerns...
0:32:11 > 0:32:14- Oprah, Richard.- I'm going to show you five clues, now,
0:32:14 > 0:32:17to facts about the TV presenter and businesswoman Oprah Winfrey.
0:32:17 > 0:32:19Can you give us the most obscure answers, please?
0:32:19 > 0:32:21Thanks very much indeed.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23Let's reveal our five clues - here they come.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46I'll read those one last time.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05There we are - five clues to facts about Oprah Winfrey.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07Alan and Jill, you'll go first.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12Don't know any of the others, I only know the top one.
0:33:12 > 0:33:14The top one is good by me.
0:33:14 > 0:33:16- I think everybody knows the other one, don't they?- Fine.
0:33:16 > 0:33:18- Didn't he confess...?- Oprah Winfrey?
0:33:18 > 0:33:21- Yeah, he confessed, didn't he? That he'd been...- Yes, yes indeed.
0:33:21 > 0:33:25All right, we're going to go for the Steven Spielberg film,
0:33:25 > 0:33:27which was The Color Purple.
0:33:27 > 0:33:30The Color Purple. The Color Purple, say Alan and Jill.
0:33:30 > 0:33:34Now then, Mags and Ryan, do you want to talk us through that board?
0:33:34 > 0:33:36We've been pipped to the post.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38It was the answer we were going to give.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41The cyclist is obviously Lance Armstrong.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43The British chat show host would be Piers Morgan,
0:33:43 > 0:33:46and the year the Oprah Winfrey show came off air -
0:33:46 > 0:33:49- I would think it was 2012. - Was it not 2011, though?
0:33:49 > 0:33:52- I don't... Definitely not. - 2012. Let's go 2012.
0:33:52 > 0:33:57OK, you're going to say 2012, the year she came off air.
0:33:58 > 0:34:01OK, there we are. So we have The Color Purple, we have 2012.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04Alan and Jill said The Color Purple was the Spielberg-directed film
0:34:04 > 0:34:05she appeared in in '85.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said it.
0:34:10 > 0:34:11It's right.
0:34:15 > 0:34:1726.
0:34:17 > 0:34:18APPLAUSE
0:34:20 > 0:34:2226 for The Color Purple.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25Now then, Mags and Ryan, a little bit of a punt here.
0:34:25 > 0:34:282012, the year the Oprah Winfrey show came off air in America.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31Let's see if that's right and how many said it.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35Oh, bad luck.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37I'm sorry, Mags and Ryan. That's an incorrect answer.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40Which means, Alan and Jill, very well done you.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43After only two questions, you're straight through to the final 2-0.
0:34:43 > 0:34:44Well played. Alan and Jill.
0:34:44 > 0:34:47Tough luck - not 2012, it's actually 2011, the one you ruled out.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49- Oh, no!- Yeah.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51Would have scored you 7 points, as well,
0:34:51 > 0:34:53would have been a very good answer.
0:34:53 > 0:34:56But, you know, if your brain was telling you it wasn't, it wasn't.
0:34:56 > 0:34:58And you should have gone for Piers Morgan.
0:34:58 > 0:35:02- Would've scored you 14 points. - I thought everybody knew that!
0:35:02 > 0:35:0414 points for Piers Morgan.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08The cyclist, I think both teams knew, was Lance Armstrong -
0:35:08 > 0:35:09big scorer, though.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12Would have scored 69 points.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14And the city her show was filmed in for 25 years -
0:35:14 > 0:35:16- do you know this one?- I don't, no.
0:35:16 > 0:35:18It's Chicago.
0:35:18 > 0:35:20Chicago would have scored 8 points.
0:35:20 > 0:35:22The year was actually the best answer up there.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24Thanks very much indeed.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26The pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head,
0:35:26 > 0:35:29it's Mags and Ryan.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31Oh, dear - listen, good news, we get to see you next time.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34Otherwise, you would've made only one appearance,
0:35:34 > 0:35:35and that would've been too few.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38We look forward to seeing you. Thanks for playing, Mags and Ryan.
0:35:38 > 0:35:42- Well done, Alan.- Well done.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44For Alan and Jill, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51Congratulations, Alan and Jill - you've fought off the competition
0:35:51 > 0:35:53and won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01You have a chance to win our jackpot,
0:36:01 > 0:36:05and at the end of today's show, it stands at £1,250.
0:36:05 > 0:36:08You've done so well. So well.
0:36:08 > 0:36:11A bit of a tough start, that first round.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13But you made Pointless history -
0:36:13 > 0:36:16first-ever pointless answer in a tie-break.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18Fantastic - into the annals of Pointless, you go.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21What would you like to see come up in this round?
0:36:21 > 0:36:23Um...film, literature.
0:36:25 > 0:36:27Um...film and literature, mostly.
0:36:27 > 0:36:30Yes - cyclists that have won the Tour de France more than once.
0:36:30 > 0:36:31OK.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34You choose the category. Here are your four options, they are...
0:36:44 > 0:36:46- You choose.- OK.
0:36:48 > 0:36:50And don't choose Moons Of The Solar System!
0:36:50 > 0:36:52LAUGHTER
0:36:52 > 0:36:54- Horror films. - You're going with Horror Films?
0:36:54 > 0:36:57- Horror Films. - OK, Horror Films it is.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00OK, best of luck. We'll give you three different options now -
0:37:00 > 0:37:02we're looking for any of the following.
0:37:02 > 0:37:03We're looking for the name of any actor
0:37:03 > 0:37:08who appeared in the 1992 Francis Ford Coppola Dracula film.
0:37:08 > 0:37:10We're looking for anyone
0:37:10 > 0:37:13who's appeared in two or more of the Scream films.
0:37:13 > 0:37:15Any actor credited.
0:37:15 > 0:37:18And we're looking for anyone credited in Shaun of the Dead.
0:37:18 > 0:37:20So anyone credited in the 1992 Dracula,
0:37:20 > 0:37:23anyone credited in two or more of the Scream films
0:37:23 > 0:37:26or anyone credited in Shaun of the Dead,
0:37:26 > 0:37:27all according to IMDb.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29Very, very best of luck.
0:37:29 > 0:37:30Thanks very much indeed.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33As always, you've got up to a minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:33 > 0:37:35All you need to win that jackpot
0:37:35 > 0:37:37is for just one of those answers to be correct.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39Remember, the answers you give can come from any category -
0:37:39 > 0:37:42spread them how you like across the categories.
0:37:42 > 0:37:43They can all be from one,
0:37:43 > 0:37:45two from one, one from another - up to you.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47Are you ready?
0:37:48 > 0:37:51- OK.- OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock. There they are.
0:37:51 > 0:37:53Your time starts now.
0:37:54 > 0:37:56Shaun of the Dead, that's...
0:37:56 > 0:38:00- I've never heard of the middle ones, have you? Scream?- Nope.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02Um...Shaun Of The Dead,
0:38:02 > 0:38:03that was Simon Pegg.
0:38:03 > 0:38:07Who was the actor that's with him?
0:38:07 > 0:38:09He was in...the other one.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11Hot Fuzz, as well, wasn't he?
0:38:11 > 0:38:13Well, he'll be well-known, anyway.
0:38:13 > 0:38:15Even though we don't know him!
0:38:15 > 0:38:18Dracula actors - was that the Kenneth Branagh one,
0:38:18 > 0:38:21- with Helena Bonham Carter?- OK.
0:38:21 > 0:38:24That's one answer, two more.
0:38:24 > 0:38:27- They're the stars.- Yes.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32- Scream...what was Scream?- No idea.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35Was it Lindsay Lohan?
0:38:35 > 0:38:38- Let's try, if you like, yeah. - I don't know.- I really don't know.
0:38:38 > 0:38:40I wish we'd done thriller writers!
0:38:40 > 0:38:41LAUGHTER
0:38:41 > 0:38:44Ten seconds left, I'm sorry to say.
0:38:44 > 0:38:48I think we're done, actually, because we're not very good.
0:38:48 > 0:38:49Not very good at all.
0:38:49 > 0:38:54OK - we'll let the minute run out, and there it is.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57- I now need answers from you.- OK.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59- Lindsay Lohan for Scream. - Lindsay Lohan from Scream.- Yep.
0:39:00 > 0:39:03- Simon Pegg. - Simon Pegg, Shaun Of The Dead.
0:39:03 > 0:39:07- And Helena Bonham Carter. - From Dracula.- Yeah.
0:39:07 > 0:39:11Of those, which do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:39:11 > 0:39:13I know that Helena Bonham Carter was in Dracula.
0:39:13 > 0:39:17So you'll put that last, Helena Bonham Carter last. And...?
0:39:17 > 0:39:20Least likely to be a right answer is Scream.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22And Lindsay Lohan.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24OK, let's pop those answers on the board in that order
0:39:24 > 0:39:27and here they are. We've got...
0:39:31 > 0:39:35Well, very best of luck. Your first answer was Lindsay Lohan.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37Remember, only one of these has to be pointless
0:39:37 > 0:39:39for you to win that jackpot of £1,250.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42I'm sorry to say it's not our biggest ever jackpot,
0:39:42 > 0:39:44but still, quite nice.
0:39:44 > 0:39:45What would you do with your share, Jill?
0:39:45 > 0:39:50Well, if I ever won it, I would share it with my family.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53- Alan?- I'd like to buy my wife a bunch of flowers,
0:39:53 > 0:39:55cos I haven't bought her one lately.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57Aaw...aaw!
0:39:57 > 0:40:00And I've had a broken wristwatch for the last 20 years.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03- I'd like to fix it, actually. - Yeah, you should do that.- I should.
0:40:03 > 0:40:0420 years...
0:40:04 > 0:40:06Best of luck. Three answers on the board.
0:40:06 > 0:40:08We'll discover if they're correct and pointless.
0:40:08 > 0:40:10Let's hope they are.
0:40:10 > 0:40:15In our first category, we were looking for recurring Scream actors
0:40:15 > 0:40:16and your answer was Lindsay Lohan.
0:40:16 > 0:40:20Let's find out, for £1,250, if it's right and if it's pointless.
0:40:23 > 0:40:24Oh, bad luck!
0:40:25 > 0:40:27I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer,
0:40:27 > 0:40:29so, obviously, not a pointless answer.
0:40:29 > 0:40:31Only two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:40:31 > 0:40:34Let's find out about your next answer, Simon Pegg.
0:40:34 > 0:40:37Again, it has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot,
0:40:37 > 0:40:39so let's find out, for £1,250,
0:40:39 > 0:40:43how many of our 100 people thought Simon Pegg was in Shaun Of The Dead.
0:40:45 > 0:40:47Well, there we are, it's a correct answer.
0:40:48 > 0:40:51Lindsay Lohan was an incorrect answer.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53But Simon Pegg, very much correct.
0:40:53 > 0:40:5544 is what it scores.
0:40:58 > 0:41:00Again, not a pointless answer.
0:41:00 > 0:41:04So everything is now riding on your third and final answer,
0:41:04 > 0:41:06Helena Bonham Carter.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09OK, to win the jackpot of £1,250, it has to be correct.
0:41:09 > 0:41:10Then, it has to be pointless.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13Let's see how many said Helena Bonham Carter.
0:41:16 > 0:41:18Frankenstein, wasn't it?
0:41:18 > 0:41:20Oh!
0:41:21 > 0:41:24I'm sorry. That was a really tough, tough category.
0:41:24 > 0:41:27Not one you'd ever have chosen for yourselves.
0:41:27 > 0:41:29I'm afraid you didn't manage to find a pointless answer,
0:41:29 > 0:41:32which means you don't win today's jackpot of £1,250.
0:41:32 > 0:41:34That will roll over on to the next show.
0:41:34 > 0:41:36But it's been great having you on the show,
0:41:36 > 0:41:39you've been fantastic across both shows.
0:41:39 > 0:41:42- And you do, of course, take home a Pointless trophy.- Thank you.
0:41:42 > 0:41:43You don't leave empty-handed.
0:41:45 > 0:41:46APPLAUSE
0:41:48 > 0:41:50Yeah, unlucky - you've been terrific.
0:41:50 > 0:41:53I think you convinced yourself it was Kenneth Branagh's Frankenstein
0:41:53 > 0:41:55we were looking for.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57I saw Alexander's face when he was reading it out
0:41:57 > 0:41:59and I thought "We're stuffed." I knew it.
0:41:59 > 0:42:02I often think that when I look at Alexander's face.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04LAUGHTER
0:42:04 > 0:42:06"Boy, are we ever stuffed", I think.
0:42:06 > 0:42:08Let's take a look at some of the pointless answers -
0:42:08 > 0:42:10people at home might have got a few of these.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12Dracula actors, you could've had Billy Campbell...
0:42:16 > 0:42:19Sadie Frost, also in that version - well done if you said any of those.
0:42:28 > 0:42:31There's quite a few pointless answers in Shaun Of The Dead actors.
0:42:31 > 0:42:34- Tamsin Greig!- Reece Shearsmith from League Of Gentlemen,
0:42:34 > 0:42:35lovely Tamsin Greig,
0:42:35 > 0:42:37Vernon Kay, he played himself.
0:42:37 > 0:42:39A few others who played themselves, in that film.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42You could have had Chris Martin from Coldplay, he's in that film.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44Keith Chegwin, Krishnan Guru-Murthy.
0:42:44 > 0:42:47You could also have had Rafe Spall, pointless answer.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49Well done if you got any of those at home.
0:42:49 > 0:42:51Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:42:51 > 0:42:52Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye,
0:42:52 > 0:42:54but we've loved having you on the show.
0:42:54 > 0:42:57Thanks so much for playing - Alan and Jill, great contestants.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01APPLAUSE
0:43:01 > 0:43:03Sadly, Alan and Jill didn't win our jackpot today,
0:43:03 > 0:43:07meaning it rolls over onto the next show, when we'll play for £2,250.
0:43:12 > 0:43:14Join us next time to see if someone wins it.
0:43:14 > 0:43:16- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...- Goodbye.
0:43:16 > 0:43:18And it's goodbye from me - goodbye.
