0:00:18 > 0:00:20APPLAUSE
0:00:20 > 0:00:21Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:21 > 0:00:24Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:24 > 0:00:27the show that makes big winners out of the lowest scorers.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29Let's meet today's players.
0:00:33 > 0:00:34And couple number one.
0:00:34 > 0:00:38Hello, I'm Shirley and this is Kevin. We're a couple from Northamptonshire.
0:00:38 > 0:00:39Couple number two.
0:00:39 > 0:00:43Hi, I'm Ryan from Plymouth and this is Carys from Barry in South Wales,
0:00:43 > 0:00:45and we are good friends from university.
0:00:45 > 0:00:46Couple number three.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Hi, I'm Maxine and this is Sara, and we're from South Wales
0:00:49 > 0:00:50and we're work colleagues and friends.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52And finally, couple number four.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54Hello, I'm Bo from Farnham, this is Charlie from Brighton,
0:00:54 > 0:00:56and we're mates from uni.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00- And these are today's contestants. - APPLAUSE
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Thanks very much, all of you. We'll find out more about you throughout the show.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06So that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09He only wears those glasses to make him seem EVEN MORE intelligent.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:11 > 0:01:16Hiya. Hi, everybody. Afternoon. APPLAUSE
0:01:16 > 0:01:20- Good afternoon to you.- And to you. - How are you?- I'm very well.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24- Oh, that's good.- I'm very well. - Sometimes I worry you don't tell me the truth.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Sometimes, if you were in a bad way, I don't think you'd tell me.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29I quite often say, "How are you?" And you always say, "I'm very well."
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Statistically, you can't always be well. LAUGHTER
0:01:32 > 0:01:36It's true. You know, I am very well. I never get to ask you how you are, because you then plough on.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39RICHARD COUGHS LAUGHTER
0:01:39 > 0:01:42- How are you, but really?- I've been waiting 650 shows for that.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46- I'm very, very well. I'm very well for a number of reasons.- Yes.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48One, we've got two returning pairs, that always make me happy.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50That always perks you up, doesn't it?
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Kevin and Shirley got all the way through to the head-to-head.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Going to be very difficult to beat.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57Maxine and Sara got knocked out in the first round with 200 points,
0:01:57 > 0:02:01but unluckily. And I'm also happy because round one is a cracker.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04And I'm ALSO happy because Bo has got
0:02:04 > 0:02:07the joint shortest name of anyone who's ever been on the show.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09- It's great. It's good. - Alongside Jo, Su and Fi.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13- So it's great to have him on board. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16All our questions on Pointless have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19Our contestants need to find the obscure answers those 100 people didn't get.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Everyone's trying to find a pointless answer,
0:02:21 > 0:02:24an answer that none of our 100 people gave,
0:02:24 > 0:02:27and each time that happens we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31Kevin and Scott didn't win the jackpot last time, so we add another £1,000 to that.
0:02:31 > 0:02:35So today's jackpot starts off at £2,250.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38APPLAUSE
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48Remember, the pair with the highest score at the end of each round
0:02:48 > 0:02:51will be eliminated, so do what you can to make sure that's not you.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Best of luck. Our first category today is...
0:02:57 > 0:03:01Languages. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:03:02 > 0:03:06And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10OK, and the question concerns...
0:03:13 > 0:03:17- Richard, food items in French. - Yeah, if you weren't well before, you'll be well now,
0:03:17 > 0:03:20cos you get to do your French accent, people will enjoy that.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22On each pass we'll show you seven food items in French,
0:03:22 > 0:03:24you just need to give us the English translations, please.
0:03:24 > 0:03:2714 in all to have a go at at home, so very best of luck.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30- Bonne chance, oui?- Merci.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34So, we are looking for the English translations of these food items in French.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38Seven on our first board, and here they come. We have got...
0:03:48 > 0:03:49I'll read those one last time.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52- RICHARD CHUCKLES You're very good.- I do enjoy it.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54No idea what they mean, but I do enjoy it.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Kevin, welcome back.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Now, listen, we discovered last time that you are not only a jester,
0:04:09 > 0:04:12you are THE jester in Northamptonshire.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16Do you find when you nod and it doesn't go ring-ring-ring, it's a bit disappointing?
0:04:16 > 0:04:19- LAUGHTER - Yeah, very odd. - There's something missing.- Yeah.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23- Was there always an official jester for each county?- No, no.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27I'm a member of an organisation called the National Guild of Jesters.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29- Yes, there really is one. - Right. Did you set that up?
0:04:29 > 0:04:33- No, no, no. I didn't set that up. - OK.- No, I was headhunted for that.
0:04:33 > 0:04:39- Yes.- And what they want is for there to be an official jester in every big town and city in the country.
0:04:39 > 0:04:44And, as far as I know, I think there are 16 of us at the moment who are actually connected to a city.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47- 16?! Hey-nonny-no! that is a lot. - LAUGHTER
0:04:47 > 0:04:49There were two big organisations, weren't there?
0:04:49 > 0:04:53It's like the boxing and stuff where there's two big organisations of jesters.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57Yours, who I respect, and the other lot are a bunch of clowns. LAUGHTER
0:04:57 > 0:05:00- That's my opinion. Just my opinion. - That's their official title.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04- Yeah, they are called A Bunch Of Clowns. Terrific guys.- Wonderful.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Now then, Kevin. There they are in French.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09What are these French food items in English?
0:05:09 > 0:05:13My O-Level French is hopefully telling me
0:05:13 > 0:05:17that le homard might be a lobster.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21Your O-Level French didn't teach you that you don't pronounce the H, your aspirate.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24The aspirate's silent, mate. "Le 'omard."
0:05:24 > 0:05:26- Long time ago.- OK, let's see if it's right. Lobster.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Is it right, and if it is, how many people said it?
0:05:30 > 0:05:32It is right, of course.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39- Good answer. 12. - APPLAUSE
0:05:40 > 0:05:42That'll do, Kevin.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44That's a terrific answer, isn't it?
0:05:44 > 0:05:47If you're going to bring anything back to mind from all those years ago,
0:05:47 > 0:05:50le homard is very impressive. I don't think I was taught that.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53- Really? Le homard?- Le homard. Did you have that?
0:05:53 > 0:05:56- Oui, mais bien sur! - Mais non!- Oui! Vachement. Extra!
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Je ne sais pas.
0:05:58 > 0:06:04- Now, Ryan.- Hello. - Welcome to the show, Ryan, it's great to have you here.
0:06:04 > 0:06:09- You are at university with Carys. - We've recently graduated, actually. - Ah, right.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13- So you're now working, in the world of work.- I am, yes. - What are you doing?
0:06:13 > 0:06:16I'm a teaching assistant, currently, at my old secondary school.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18- Oh, that's nice! Nice to be back? - Bit awkward.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22- All the people in the staff room who were there who taught you? - Indeed, they are.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25And is your old French teacher...? Is your French teacher in the...?
0:06:25 > 0:06:28She'll be humiliated when she sees what I know on this board.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32Well, let's just see. Let's just see, Ryan. What are you going to go for?
0:06:32 > 0:06:36The only one I'm probably going to have a guess at is the bottom one,
0:06:36 > 0:06:39and because it looks similar to the English,
0:06:39 > 0:06:40I'm going to say it's mustard.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44La moutarde, mustard. Says Ryan. Let's see if that's right,
0:06:44 > 0:06:47and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said mustard.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50It's right.
0:06:52 > 0:06:53- 57. - APPLAUSE
0:06:53 > 0:06:57I think quite a few others spotted that link as well, possibly.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59But 57, a lot better than 100.
0:06:59 > 0:07:00A big score, and on the plus side,
0:07:00 > 0:07:03you are Briton's youngest-looking graduate, as well.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05- LAUGHTER - Thank you.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08National mustard day in America, first Saturday in August.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10- Ah, what a day!- Isn't it, though?
0:07:10 > 0:07:15- Of course, in France it's a very different thing from what it is in America, really.- Oui.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Cos mustard in France, they take it tres, tres serieusement.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Certainement, certainement.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22All their moutarde.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24I can only think of Dijon, but I'm sure there are plenty...
0:07:24 > 0:07:28Meaux, there's another one called meaux, avec le...le...
0:07:28 > 0:07:31- Um... Seeds.- Really? LAUGHTER
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- Yeah.- The absolute key to sounding like you can speak French is to
0:07:34 > 0:07:37- pronounce "oui" as casually as possible.- Oui.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39You just go... HE UTTERS BRIEF SYLLABLE
0:07:39 > 0:07:43- CASUALLY:- Oui.- Oh, oui, oui. - Oui, oui.- Tu es francais?
0:07:43 > 0:07:47- EMPHATICALLY:- Mais non! C'est pas possible! - LAUGHTER
0:07:47 > 0:07:52- Maxine, welcome back. Do you like mustard, Maxine? - LAUGHTER
0:07:52 > 0:07:56Do you think...? Because the natural thing that leads on from our conversation is,
0:07:56 > 0:07:59should we have a World Mustard Day... World Mustard Day? Just a Mustard Day.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02- ..Mustard Day, in this country? - I think not on its own.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05You'd have a lot of sour looking people.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07What about Mustard And Custard Day?
0:08:07 > 0:08:11- That... Yeah.- That's good. - It could fly.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14- It could.- Maxine.- Yes. - What are you going to go for?
0:08:14 > 0:08:19The top one, when it came up, I thought, "yes, I've got an answer."
0:08:19 > 0:08:22As I've been stood here, I've been thinking, "mmm..."
0:08:22 > 0:08:25So, I'm just going to go with it.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28And I'm going to say la confiture - jam.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31Jam. You know it should be pronounced L-A confiture?
0:08:31 > 0:08:34- LAUGHTER - One of my favourite films.
0:08:34 > 0:08:39OK, jam. Let's see if that's right, and how many people said it if it is.
0:08:39 > 0:08:40(Oh, God!)
0:08:40 > 0:08:42- It's right.- Yes!
0:08:42 > 0:08:45Well done, Maxine. 57 our high score, you're past that.
0:08:45 > 0:08:4812 our a low score. You're pretty much halfway between.
0:08:48 > 0:08:5031, very well done.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Well played, Maxine. Good answer.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57Nostradamus, before he wrote his famous prophecies,
0:08:57 > 0:08:59wrote a treatise on jam.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02- Did he?- He did, yeah. - Did it come true?
0:09:02 > 0:09:04LAUGHTER
0:09:04 > 0:09:07- There is jam.- Yeah, there you go. Brilliant.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11- Now, Bo.- Hello. - Bo, welcome.- Thanks very much. - Good to have you here.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15- Now, Bo, what do you do? - I'm a student in London, and I study politics and Spanish.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19Very good indeed. Now, Bo, is that short for...?
0:09:19 > 0:09:21I think it's short for Albert.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24My parents made a terrible decision naming me.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26They decided to go for Michael, which is my dad's name, and that
0:09:26 > 0:09:30- turned out to be a bit confusing when there were two Michaels about. - Well, it would.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34We had an uncle Bo and a great-uncle Bo, and I became the next Bo.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38In your family, there are many Bos to your string. AUDIENCE LAUGHS AND GROANS
0:09:38 > 0:09:42- That's good.- Thanks. It didn't deserve a groan, to be fair.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44LAUGHTER
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Now, then, Bo. This board is all yours.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49So, you're good on Spanish, I reckon you're good on French, too.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51See, this is what I was thinking.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53I thought, "what looks sort of similar?"
0:09:53 > 0:09:55And it turns out there isn't a lot of crossover,
0:09:55 > 0:09:59so I'm going to play it safe and go for les frites as chips.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Les frites, chips, says Bo.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04Let's see how many of our 100 people said chips.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07It's right. Oh!
0:10:08 > 0:10:10- 90! There's your answer. - APPLAUSE
0:10:10 > 0:10:1490 people said chips for frites.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Yeah. A big score.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18There wasn't a huge amount of option left on the board, there.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22La poire, you might have had a guess at, is pear.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25That would have scored you 30 points.
0:10:25 > 0:10:26Do you know la betterave?
0:10:26 > 0:10:30- It's a beetroot.- It is a beetroot. It's exactly a beetroot.
0:10:30 > 0:10:31Would have scored you 8 points.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33And the best answer on the board is la myrtille.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36- Blueberry. There you are. - Would have scored you three points.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Best answer there. Well done if you said that.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42Thanks very much. We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at the scores.
0:10:42 > 0:10:4512, very much the best score of that pass. Kevin, well done.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47From 12 we then go up to 31 where we find Maxine and Sara,
0:10:47 > 0:10:50up to 57 where we find Ryan and Carys,
0:10:50 > 0:10:5290 for Bo and Charlie.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55Luckily, Charlie knows his French like the back of his hand.
0:10:55 > 0:10:56THEY LAUGH
0:10:56 > 0:11:01We'll come back down the line now. Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:11:01 > 0:11:05OK, let's put seven more food items in French on the board,
0:11:05 > 0:11:07and here they come.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09We've got...
0:11:16 > 0:11:18I'll read those all one last time.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Remember, we are looking for the English translations
0:11:26 > 0:11:28of these food items in French.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31And yes, Charlie, you need to find a nice, low scoring one
0:11:31 > 0:11:34cos you're on 90. Charlie, what do you do?
0:11:34 > 0:11:39- I'm also a student at UCL, and I study philosophy.- Philosophy.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41What sort of things do you get up to when you're not studying?
0:11:41 > 0:11:44Me and Bo are both in a society at University which is
0:11:44 > 0:11:47a magazine that we both do, sort of a Private Eye style thing,
0:11:47 > 0:11:50it's a bit of investigative journalism, a bit of satire.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53- And it comes out how often? - Four times a year.
0:11:53 > 0:11:59It's a very limited budget, so it's sort of black and white, just folded, no paperclips.
0:11:59 > 0:12:00Very good. Good stuff.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03There you are, you're on 90. We need a low score from you.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06Anything there that takes your fancy, Charlie?
0:12:06 > 0:12:08I've had quite a lot of French food,
0:12:08 > 0:12:10but I don't necessarily know what it's all called.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14I'm going on intuition to say l'anchois is anchovies.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18- L'anchois, anchovies, says Charlie. - Yes.- L'anchois, anchovies.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20No red line for you as you're the high scorers,
0:12:20 > 0:12:23but let's see how many of our 100 people said anchovies.
0:12:25 > 0:12:26It's right.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32- Ooh, 35. - APPLAUSE
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Not bad, takes your total up to 125.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38A very good answer, a good start to the second pass.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41They are a very strong flavour, that's due to the curing process
0:12:41 > 0:12:43- Fresh anchovies are rather mild.- Mmm.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45OK, Sara.
0:12:45 > 0:12:50I have a hunch, you are going to be in Round Two, this time.
0:12:50 > 0:12:51It was Round One last time.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55Well, I failed French O-level. So...
0:12:56 > 0:13:00- I'm going to play it safe. - OK.- I'm going to go for le gateau.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02- Le gateau.- That's cake.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04You know there's safe...?
0:13:04 > 0:13:06I know. I know.
0:13:06 > 0:13:07And then...
0:13:07 > 0:13:10I'm just thinking out loud. You're on 31.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13If you can score 93 or less,
0:13:13 > 0:13:15then we will say no more about it
0:13:15 > 0:13:17and you will be through.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19OK, there is your red line.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21If you get below that you are through to the next round.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25Let's see how many of our 100 people said gateau was cake.
0:13:27 > 0:13:28It's right!
0:13:28 > 0:13:31- 87! It's fine. It's fine. - APPLAUSE
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Your total is 118.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38- We will say no more about it. - Yeah, you were so unlucky last time,
0:13:38 > 0:13:41- you deserve a bit of luck this time around.- Thank you.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44The most expensive ever piece of cake was from the
0:13:44 > 0:13:46Duke and Duchess of Windsor's wedding.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49£18,000 at auction.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51That's quite a good way of paying for a wedding, isn't it?
0:13:51 > 0:13:53- Auction off the cake?- Yeah.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56Thanks very much, indeed. OK, now then, Carys.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59- You and Ryan were at university together?- Yes, we were.
0:13:59 > 0:14:00That means you have also just left?
0:14:00 > 0:14:03I graduated but I am now studying for an MA,
0:14:03 > 0:14:06- so I'm still at university.- You're still there and what's your MA in?
0:14:06 > 0:14:09- English Literature. - Right, you are.
0:14:09 > 0:14:10There you are on 57.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13The high scorers are still Charlie and Bo on 125.
0:14:13 > 0:14:1567 or less gets you through.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21I'm not sure that I'm going to be able to score that low.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25There is one that I think I know, but I'm not particularly confident.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29I think that les epinards might be spinach.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Spinach, you're going to say for les epinards.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34Let's see if that's right. There is your red line.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38If you get below that with spinach, you're in Round Two. Let's see how many people said it.
0:14:40 > 0:14:41It's right!
0:14:43 > 0:14:45You are through.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49- APPLAUSE - 13, very well done, indeed.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53Rather neatly that takes your total of a nice round 70.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57A really good answer, Carys, well played, safely through.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00Shirley, you're through to the next round. This is the bit...
0:15:00 > 0:15:05The three answers that have been said were the only ones that I knew.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08Do you want to have a guess at some of them?
0:15:08 > 0:15:11Le chou-fleur, there's flower there, but I don't know.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14There's choux pastry - flower pastry.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19No idea about l'huitre.
0:15:19 > 0:15:24So la pasteque, I'll take a punt that it's pasta.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26Purely because it looks like pasta.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28OK, you are going to say pasteque, pasta.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30OK, no red line for you as you are already through.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Let's see how many of our 100 people said pasta.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38I'm afraid it is not pasta.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40That scores you 100 and takes your total up to 112
0:15:40 > 0:15:43but you were already through, so it doesn't matter.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46Yeah, you won't be the only person making that guess, Shirley.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48It is, actually, watermelon.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51It scored four points, so a terrific answer.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55- Le chou-fleur is an absolute classic GCSE...- Cauliflower.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Yeah, it would have scored you 40.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00- L'huitre?- An oyster. - Oyster, absolutely.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03It would have scored you 11. Le dinde?
0:16:03 > 0:16:07- I do know it's a turkey. - It is a turkey. Tres bon!
0:16:07 > 0:16:10It would have scored you douze points.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12Thank you very much, indeed.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14At the end of our first round, the pair heading home
0:16:14 > 0:16:16is Charlie and Bo on 125.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18- I'm sorry.- C'est la vie!
0:16:18 > 0:16:21As you say, la vie. I'm sorry.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Next time you come on, let's hope there will be some politics
0:16:24 > 0:16:27and philosophy on your first round to see you through.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29It's been great having you on, although brief.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32We will see you next time. Thanks very much, Charlie and Bo!
0:16:32 > 0:16:33APPLAUSE
0:16:33 > 0:16:37For the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43So three pairs remain.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46Obviously, at the end of this round, we will be saying goodbye to another pair.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48OK, our category for Round Two is...
0:16:52 > 0:16:54The Beatles and The Stones.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56Can you all decide who's going first and who's going second.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05OK, and the question concerns...
0:17:11 > 0:17:14Songs by The Beatles or The Stones with pronouns in their titles.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16- Richard.- In a moment, we are going to show you five words.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19We're looking for any UK Top 40 hit by either The Beatles or
0:17:19 > 0:17:23The Rolling Stones that have one or more of those words in their title.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26Up to February 2014, any UK Top 40 hit by The Beatles
0:17:26 > 0:17:29or The Stones with one of the following words in its title.
0:17:29 > 0:17:33Thanks very much. As Richard mentioned, we're going to put five words up on the board.
0:17:33 > 0:17:37They'll stay up through the round. We need any song by The Stones or The Beatles
0:17:37 > 0:17:40with one of these words in, and here are those words.
0:17:40 > 0:17:41All of them pronouns.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52Shirley... Here we go, Shirley.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54SHE GIGGLES
0:17:54 > 0:17:59I stand a chance with this one, I think.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02Beatles song, Love Me Do.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05Love Me Do, says Shirley. Let's see if it's right.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:18:10 > 0:18:11It's right!
0:18:15 > 0:18:16It's still going down, look at that!
0:18:16 > 0:18:19- Down to 20, well done, Shirley. Good answer. - APPLAUSE
0:18:23 > 0:18:27Well done, Shirley, the band's first ever UK single, got to number 17.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29Thanks, Richard. Now, Ryan...
0:18:29 > 0:18:31- Yes.- Ryan.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35- Stones or Beatles, which is your...? - This is awful for me, probably.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39I don't know any, really, apart from maybe a really obvious one.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43I don't know whether to take a risk and just hope for the best.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46By taking a risk, would that be a song that you think you know...?
0:18:46 > 0:18:49It's a song title, whether or not it is by one of those two,
0:18:49 > 0:18:50I don't know.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54Oh, I see. That's better. It wasn't just some words.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56I think it's a song.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59I don't know whether it's by either one of those two artists.
0:18:59 > 0:19:00OK, right.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03I'm going to say Easy Please Me.
0:19:05 > 0:19:06Easy Please Me...
0:19:06 > 0:19:08AUDIENCE CHUCKLES
0:19:08 > 0:19:09And hope for the best.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11ALEXANDER CHUCKLES
0:19:11 > 0:19:15Easy Please Me, let's see if it's right. If it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21I'm afraid an incorrect answer, Ryan.
0:19:21 > 0:19:22Not shameful.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24That scores you 100 points.
0:19:24 > 0:19:28The first time I've ever heard somebody from the audience shout out, "What(?)".
0:19:28 > 0:19:29LAUGHTER
0:19:34 > 0:19:35Thanks very much, indeed.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Sara...
0:19:37 > 0:19:40We want the title of any UK Top 40 hit by The Stones
0:19:40 > 0:19:43or The Beatles with any of these words in it.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46Yes, music wasn't a good round for us last time.
0:19:46 > 0:19:50I am going to go for a Stones hit and Give Me Shelter.
0:19:50 > 0:19:51Give Me Shelter, OK.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03Unfortunately, that's a wrong answer,
0:20:03 > 0:20:05which means you score the maximum of 100 points.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07I'm sorry, Sara.
0:20:07 > 0:20:11It's Gimme Shelter, I'm afraid and wasn't a single in the UK, either.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Apart from that...
0:20:13 > 0:20:16It was great! Thanks very much, indeed.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19We're halfway through the round, let's take a look at those scores.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22Only two scores between the three pairs. Shirley, look at that.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24Look what you've done.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27There you are, halfway through, the lowest score, very well done.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30Then Sara and Maxine, Ryan and Carys,
0:20:30 > 0:20:33all there on 100. Maxine, it's between you and Carys
0:20:33 > 0:20:35in the next pass.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39Best of luck. We're coming back down the line. Can the second players step up to the podium?
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Maxine, remember we're looking for the title of any UK Top 40 hit
0:20:45 > 0:20:48by The Beatles or The Rolling Stones that contains at least
0:20:48 > 0:20:51one of these five pronouns.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55OK, again, not strong for me, this.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59I've got two answers, one which I think will be really high,
0:20:59 > 0:21:00one which is a bit of a punt.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03I'm going to go for the punt. Why not?
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Please Please Me.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Please "Easy" Please Me.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11OK, no red line for you as you are joint high scorers
0:21:11 > 0:21:15but let's see how many of our 100 people said Please Please Me.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18- It's right.- Yes!
0:21:23 > 0:21:25- Seven! Very well done, indeed. - APPLAUSE
0:21:25 > 0:21:29Seven takes your total up to 107.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31It gives Carys a bit of a target to aim for.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35Yeah, I think that's the one Ryan was thinking of, a number two hit from 1963, good answer.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37Thanks very much indeed.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39Now then... Carys.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41You have to score six or less.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44Which I think will be easily doable but only if you have a really
0:21:44 > 0:21:48good working knowledge of The Beatles and Stones' back catalogue.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50Unfortunately, I don't.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52I've got one but I think...
0:21:54 > 0:21:57I'm not sure of the wording and I'm not sure if it was a single.
0:21:57 > 0:22:01The only other ones I can think of will score really high.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03I'm going to have to go for it.
0:22:03 > 0:22:04OK.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06She's A Rainbow.
0:22:06 > 0:22:11She's A Rainbow. OK, She's A Rainbow.
0:22:11 > 0:22:12There is your red line, Carys.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15If you can get below that, you're in there head-to-head.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18Let's see if She's A Rainbow's right and how many people said it.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23I'm sorry, Carys, that's an incorrect answer.
0:22:23 > 0:22:27It scores you the maximum of 100 points. Your total is 200.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Yeah, exactly the same problem as Sara.
0:22:29 > 0:22:33It's an album track, a lovely track but just an album track in the UK.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Thanks very much, indeed.
0:22:35 > 0:22:39Now then, Kevin, good news, you're in the head-to-head.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43So any Stones or Beatles Top 40 hit with one of these pronouns in.
0:22:44 > 0:22:48Erm, I'm going to go... and I hope this is the title
0:22:48 > 0:22:51because when you're standing here you doubt everything
0:22:51 > 0:22:52that you ever knew.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54I hope it's the title.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57I'm going to go with I Wanna Hold Your Hand.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59I Wanna Hold Your Hand, says Kevin.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03No red line, you're already through. Let's see how many people said that.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13- 15! - APPLAUSE
0:23:15 > 0:23:1835 is your total, very well done.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22Well played, Kevin, safe and sound a number one single from 1963,
0:23:22 > 0:23:23I Want To Hold Your Hand.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26There are quite a few pointless answers here, actually.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29Do you want to have a go at this, or are you all right?
0:23:29 > 0:23:30Erm, Paint It Black.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32- Would have scored you nine points. - Oh!- Good answer.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Let's take a look at the pointless ones.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36You'll recognise some of them.
0:23:36 > 0:23:37Ain't She Sweet by The Beatles.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Almost Hear You Sigh by The Stones.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Baby It's You was a pointless answer.
0:23:47 > 0:23:48All of those, pointless.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57You also could have had, Let It Rock by the Rolling Stones.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59All of those pointless.
0:23:59 > 0:24:04Low scorers, you could have got one point for I Feel Fine, by the Beatles
0:24:04 > 0:24:06and All You Need Is Love by the Beatles.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09Also one point for It's All Over Now I Want to Be Your Man
0:24:09 > 0:24:11and It's Only Rock And Roll by The Stones.
0:24:11 > 0:24:12Let's take a look at the top three answers.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28Thanks very much. At the end of our second round the pair heading home
0:24:28 > 0:24:31with their high score of 200, I'm afraid, it's Carys and Ryan.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34Yes, I'm afraid Beatles and Stones, we had you there.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36I knew Let It Be.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38I probably should have said that, on reflection.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41- On reflection, you should have. - I thought it was too easy.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44On reflection, it probably wouldn't have saved you, though.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48It would have been a good answer. We will see you next time. We look forward to that.
0:24:48 > 0:24:49Thanks very much, Carys and Ryan.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51APPLAUSE
0:24:53 > 0:24:55But for Maxine and Sara, Kevin and Shirley
0:24:55 > 0:24:57it's now time for the head-to-head.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05Congratulations, Kevin and Shirley, Maxine and Sara,
0:25:05 > 0:25:08you are now one step closer to the final
0:25:08 > 0:25:12and a chance to play for a jackpot which currently stands at £2,250.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14APPLAUSE
0:25:15 > 0:25:18To decide who is going to play for that money you're going
0:25:18 > 0:25:21to go head-to-head. The difference being you are now allowed to confer.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24The first pair to win two questions will be playing for the jackpot.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27Shirley, you have done it. Fantastic, Love Me Do.
0:25:27 > 0:25:31Wonderful low scoring answer in that round. Very well done indeed.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33And Maxine and Sara, you have done it,
0:25:33 > 0:25:36you have made it through to the head-to-head.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38It was round one last time. Most unfairly.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41But this time, fair and square in the head-to-head.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44Best of luck to both pairs, let's play the head-to-head.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52OK, here comes your first question and it concerns...
0:25:57 > 0:25:59Famous monocle wearers, Richard.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02We will show you five pictures of famous monocle wearers,
0:26:02 > 0:26:04and you need to tell us the name of the most obscure, please.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Thanks very much indeed. Let's reveal our five monocle wearers,
0:26:07 > 0:26:09and here they are, we have got...
0:26:28 > 0:26:31There we go. Five famous monocle wearers.
0:26:31 > 0:26:35Kevin and Shirley, you played best throughout the show so you will go first.
0:26:41 > 0:26:47OK, I think we are going to go for C, Terry Thomas.
0:26:47 > 0:26:52C, Terry Thomas, say Kevin and Shirley. Terry Thomas.
0:26:52 > 0:26:57Maxine and Sara, do you want to talk us through the rest of the board?
0:26:57 > 0:27:02Well, A is Patrick Moore, E is Chris Eubank.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08Really don't know B or D.
0:27:08 > 0:27:12So, I guess we will go for E, Chris Eubank.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16OK, E, Chris Eubank say Maxine and Sara.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18Kevin and Shirley said C was Terry Thomas.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21Let's see if C was Terry Thomas and how many people said it.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26It's right.
0:27:29 > 0:27:3044.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33APPLAUSE
0:27:35 > 0:27:38Now then, Maxine and Sara, you have said Chris Eubank for E.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42Let's see if that is right and how many of our 100 said Chris Eubank.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45It is right.
0:27:47 > 0:27:4959.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51APPLAUSE
0:27:52 > 0:27:56Well done. Kevin and Shirley after one question you are up 1-0.
0:27:56 > 0:28:01Two big scores but there was an even bigger score for A, Patrick Moore.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03Think both teams knew. 71 points for him.
0:28:05 > 0:28:11The actor Charles Laughton is B. He'd have scored you 19.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14And there is a pointless answer, the Italian film director
0:28:14 > 0:28:19Federico Fellini, very well done if you said that, pointless answer.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21Thanks very much indeed.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24Here comes your second question. Maxine and Sara, you get to
0:28:24 > 0:28:27answer this one first but you have to win it to stay in the game.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29Best of luck. It concerns...
0:28:33 > 0:28:35Western films.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37I will show you five clues to facts about Westerns.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39Can you guess the most obscure answer?
0:28:39 > 0:28:42OK, let's reveal our five clues, and here they come.
0:29:06 > 0:29:07I will read those all one last time.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28Maxine and Sara, you will go first.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33It is not great for us, is it?
0:29:33 > 0:29:37But we are going to go for the Quentin Tarantino film,
0:29:37 > 0:29:42- Django Unchained.- Django Unchained, say Maxine and Sara. Django Unchained.
0:29:42 > 0:29:46Now, Kevin and Shirley, the board is yours.
0:29:46 > 0:29:50Well, we think the first one is spaghetti westerns,
0:29:50 > 0:29:55the remake of the Seven Samurai we think is Magnificent Seven.
0:29:55 > 0:29:59We think Django Unchained is right.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02The Mel Brooks spoof is Blazing Saddles,
0:30:02 > 0:30:04but I think, fingers crossed
0:30:04 > 0:30:10that we say it right, we're going to go for the composer, and that's Enrico Morricone.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13Enrico Morricone, say Kevin and Shirley. Enrico Morricone.
0:30:13 > 0:30:16Now then, Maxine and Sara, you said Django Unchained.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19Let's see if that's right for the Quentin Tarantino film,
0:30:19 > 0:30:20how many people said it if it is?
0:30:23 > 0:30:25It is right.
0:30:29 > 0:30:32Great answer. 11. Good score.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34APPLAUSE
0:30:36 > 0:30:39Now, Kevin and Shirley have said Enrico Morricone. Let's see
0:30:39 > 0:30:42if that's right and how many of our 100 people said that.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48No, I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer which means
0:30:48 > 0:30:51that after two questions, Maxine and Sara, you're back in the game
0:30:51 > 0:30:53and it's 1-1.
0:30:53 > 0:30:57That's immensely unlucky, it's Ennio Morricone, I'm afraid.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59Not Enrico. Enrico is a whole different name.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01I can't accept it, I'm afraid.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04It would have been a terrific answer. Would have scored you 6 points,
0:31:04 > 0:31:06Ennio Morricone.
0:31:06 > 0:31:07You're right about all the others,
0:31:07 > 0:31:10spaghetti western was right would have scored you too many points.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12The all would have scored you too many points is the good news.
0:31:12 > 0:31:1489 for that. Seven Samurai was remade as
0:31:14 > 0:31:17The Magnificent Seven, would have scored you 35
0:31:17 > 0:31:20and it was Blazing Saddles at the bottom, another big score.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23Would have scored you 50.
0:31:23 > 0:31:28Thanks very much indeed. So it comes down to the third and final question, this is the decider.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30Whoever wins this goes through to the final. Best of luck.
0:31:30 > 0:31:31It concerns...
0:31:35 > 0:31:37Endangered animals.
0:31:37 > 0:31:41I will show you the names of five animals that the WWF list as endangered in 2013,
0:31:41 > 0:31:46we have missed out every alternate letter, can you fill in the gaps?
0:31:46 > 0:31:47Very best of luck.
0:31:47 > 0:31:51OK, let's reveal our five endangered animals, and here they are...
0:32:05 > 0:32:07I will read those all one last time.
0:32:18 > 0:32:22Kevin and Shirley, you will go first.
0:32:22 > 0:32:26Go for that? Yeah, let's go for that.
0:32:29 > 0:32:33OK, we think the top one is leatherback turtle.
0:32:33 > 0:32:37Leatherback turtle, say Kevin and Shirley.
0:32:37 > 0:32:41Maxine and Sara, do you want to talk us through the rest of the board?
0:32:41 > 0:32:44We think the second one is chimpanzee,
0:32:44 > 0:32:47the third one is polar bear.
0:32:47 > 0:32:53The fourth one is Bengal tiger, and the bottom one is something gorilla.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56I wish I knew that because that would be quite good.
0:32:58 > 0:33:02- OK, we will go for chimpanzee. - You will go for chimpanzee.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05So we have leatherback turtle versus chimpanzee.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07Kevin and Shirley said leatherback turtle.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10Let's see if it is right and how many people said it.
0:33:12 > 0:33:14It's right.
0:33:18 > 0:33:20Wow! 3!
0:33:20 > 0:33:22APPLAUSE
0:33:23 > 0:33:29- 3 for a leatherback turtle. Shirley, was that yours?- It was.
0:33:29 > 0:33:33- Congratulations. - I'm on a roll now.- You sure are.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36Maxine and Sara have gone for chimpanzee.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39Let's see if chimpanzee's right and how many of 100 people said that.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43It's right.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49Still a good answer, 19.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51APPLAUSE
0:33:52 > 0:33:55Very well done. After three questions, Kevin and Shirley,
0:33:55 > 0:33:57you are through to the final 2-1.
0:33:57 > 0:34:01Best two answers on the board there. Couldn't beat Shirley. That's a terrific answer. Well played.
0:34:01 > 0:34:06Polar bear, you're right, it would have scored you too many, 53.
0:34:06 > 0:34:07Surprisingly small score.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10Bengal tiger, you're right about as well,
0:34:10 > 0:34:14that would have scored you 44 and it is a gorilla.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16And you'll kick yourself, it's the mountain gorilla.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19It would have scored you too many points, it would have scored 23.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21Thanks very much indeed.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23At the end of our head-to-head round, the pair leaving us,
0:34:23 > 0:34:25I'm afraid, is Sara and Maxine.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28But three perfectly good answers in that round.
0:34:28 > 0:34:33It's been lovely having you on both shows, you have done very much better today than you did last time.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36But sadly not through to the final, but still you have done well.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39Thanks so much for playing, Sara and Maxine.
0:34:39 > 0:34:41APPLAUSE
0:34:41 > 0:34:45But, for Kevin and Shirley, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52Congratulations, Kevin and Shirley. You've fought off
0:34:52 > 0:34:56all the competition and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot,
0:35:04 > 0:35:08and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £2,250.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11AUDIENCE: Whoo!
0:35:12 > 0:35:14The whole thing's been turned on its head
0:35:14 > 0:35:19for Shirley. First, Love Me Do, then the leatherback turtle.
0:35:19 > 0:35:20Kevin, she's carrying you!
0:35:20 > 0:35:23LAUGHTER
0:35:23 > 0:35:24I jest.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26Well, very best of luck. As always, you get to choose your category
0:35:26 > 0:35:30from the four things on the board. Let's find out what they are today.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32They are...
0:35:39 > 0:35:42Chick-Lit, I haven't got a clue.
0:35:42 > 0:35:47- Literature, but not Chick-Lit.- No. - Young Achievers?- What could it be,
0:35:47 > 0:35:49- Young Achievers?- Scottish Sport.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52Sport is just out of the question, always.
0:35:52 > 0:35:56We are old enough to remember 1984!
0:35:56 > 0:36:00- I think we are stuck with it, aren't we?- Yeah. The Year 1984.- OK.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03The Year 1984, it is.
0:36:03 > 0:36:04OK, here are your three options.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07Hopefully, one of these will suit you.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09They are all very different. We are looking for...
0:36:09 > 0:36:12Anyone nominated for any of the big four acting categories
0:36:12 > 0:36:15at the 1984 Academy Awards - Best Actress, Best Actor,
0:36:15 > 0:36:18Best Supporting Actress, Best Supporting Actor.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21Any GB medallist at the 1984 Summer Olympics,
0:36:21 > 0:36:23whether individually or as part of a team.
0:36:23 > 0:36:28Or we are looking for the name of any UK number one single from 1984 -
0:36:28 > 0:36:31the name of the song, rather than the act.
0:36:31 > 0:36:33So, any Oscar-nominated actor, any GB medallist
0:36:33 > 0:36:38or any UK number one single. All from 1984. Very, very best of luck.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40Thanks very much, indeed.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43As always, you have got up to one minute to come up with three answers
0:36:43 > 0:36:46and all you need to win that jackpot is for just one of those answers
0:36:46 > 0:36:48to be pointless. Are you ready?
0:36:48 > 0:36:52- Yes.- Absolutely.- OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:36:52 > 0:36:54Your time starts now.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57- I think the medallists are out. - I don't know.
0:36:57 > 0:37:01In 1984, Allan Wells, was he around then? Mary Peters?
0:37:01 > 0:37:02I don't know. I can't help you.
0:37:02 > 0:37:06Erm...they are the only two that, sort of, spring to mind.
0:37:06 > 0:37:10Was it Daley Thompson's era, 1984? Dunno.
0:37:10 > 0:37:15Oscar-nominated actors. Helen Mirren, maybe, then.
0:37:16 > 0:37:21- Erm...- It would be high, though. - Yes, who else was around '84?
0:37:21 > 0:37:25Geoffrey Rush. When was Shine? When did he do that?
0:37:25 > 0:37:29- Erm...- '84.- We could have a go.
0:37:29 > 0:37:36And number one singles, '84. Any, sort of, New Romantic-type stuff
0:37:36 > 0:37:38or... Can you think of any?
0:37:39 > 0:37:43- Only Gold. Spandau Ballet stuff. - Spandau Ballet, Gold?
0:37:44 > 0:37:47- We can give it a go.- Ten seconds left.- We could give it a go.
0:37:47 > 0:37:52So, if we went for... Let's go for Spandau Ballet, Gold, let's go for
0:37:52 > 0:37:54erm...
0:37:54 > 0:37:58- Daley Thompson...- And Helen Mirren. - And Geoffrey Rush.- Geoffrey Rush.
0:37:58 > 0:38:02I now need your three answers. What are you going to give me?
0:38:02 > 0:38:06OK, from the top one, we are going to have a go at Geoffrey Rush.
0:38:06 > 0:38:09- OK, Geoffrey Rush. - For nominated actors.
0:38:09 > 0:38:12The GB medallists,
0:38:12 > 0:38:16we are going to throw our hat in the ring with Daley Thompson.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18Daley Thompson, you are going to say.
0:38:18 > 0:38:23UK number one singles, we are going to try Spandau Ballet and Gold.
0:38:23 > 0:38:24Gold. OK.
0:38:24 > 0:38:28Of those three, which do you think is your best shot at a pointless?
0:38:28 > 0:38:33- Erm...your guess is as good as mine. Shall we...- Daley Thompson.
0:38:33 > 0:38:35- Daley Thompson.- OK, Daley Thompson, we will put last,
0:38:35 > 0:38:39- as a medallist in the Summer Olympic Gamers.- Yeah.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42- Which is your least likely to be pointless?- Gold, at the top.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45- Gold.- Yeah.- Number one single, from 1984. OK, let's pop those up
0:38:45 > 0:38:49on the board in that order and here they are. We've got...
0:38:54 > 0:38:56Very, very best of luck.
0:38:56 > 0:38:58Three good-looking answers on the board.
0:38:58 > 0:39:02Are they right? Are they pointless? We don't yet know.
0:39:02 > 0:39:06If one of them were to be pointless and you won that £2,250,
0:39:06 > 0:39:09what would you do with it? Shirley, I'll come to you first.
0:39:09 > 0:39:13We want to go over to America, to see Kevin's half-sisters,
0:39:13 > 0:39:17who he has not seen since he was about...four?
0:39:17 > 0:39:20And I've never met them, so we'd like to use it for the air fare
0:39:20 > 0:39:22to go over to Ohio.
0:39:22 > 0:39:26Very good. Kevin, anything else you want to add to that?
0:39:26 > 0:39:30Well, we've always thought of getting ourselves a little boat,
0:39:30 > 0:39:35- just to potter around in the bay, so...- But not in Northampton.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38- I was wondering which... - Northampton probably
0:39:38 > 0:39:42- the furthest from the sea anyone could possibly get!- Which bay?
0:39:42 > 0:39:44- We love Swanage Bay. - The Isle of Purbeck.
0:39:44 > 0:39:47OK. Very good, indeed. Best of luck, as I say.
0:39:47 > 0:39:49Your first answer was Gold. Spandau Ballet's Gold.
0:39:49 > 0:39:53Was that a UK number one in 1984?
0:39:53 > 0:39:56Has to be right, has to be pointless for you to win the jackpot.
0:39:56 > 0:39:58For £2,250, let's see how many said Gold.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03No! Bad luck!
0:40:03 > 0:40:05I'm afraid, an incorrect answer.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08So, that is not going to win it for you. Only two more shots
0:40:08 > 0:40:10at today's jackpot. Your next answer...
0:40:10 > 0:40:13We were looking for Oscar-nominated actors from 1984
0:40:13 > 0:40:15and you've said Geoffrey Rush.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17Again, it has to be correct and pointless
0:40:17 > 0:40:19for you to win that jackpot.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22So let's find out how many people said Geoffrey Rush.
0:40:25 > 0:40:28No! I'm afraid it's also an incorrect answer.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31Everything is now riding on your third and final answer,
0:40:31 > 0:40:32which is Daley Thompson,
0:40:32 > 0:40:34which happily enough is the one
0:40:34 > 0:40:37you thought was probably the most likely to be pointless.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39Let's hope it's correct, let's hope it's pointless.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41If it is, it'll win you £2,250.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44How many people said Daley Thompson was a medallist
0:40:44 > 0:40:47in the Summer Olympics in 1984?
0:40:50 > 0:40:52It's right! It's right!
0:40:52 > 0:40:55Your first answer, Gold, was incorrect.
0:40:55 > 0:40:57Geoffrey Rush was also incorrect
0:40:57 > 0:41:00but Daley Thompson absolutely on the money...
0:41:00 > 0:41:0215.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05- APPLAUSE - We got one!
0:41:05 > 0:41:09Well, you got one. And 15 is a great score.
0:41:09 > 0:41:11Sadly, though, you didn't manage to find
0:41:11 > 0:41:12that all important pointless answer
0:41:12 > 0:41:15so I'm afraid you don't win our jackpot of £2,250.
0:41:15 > 0:41:16That will rollover onto the next show,
0:41:16 > 0:41:18but it's been great having you on both shows
0:41:18 > 0:41:21and you get to take home a Pointless trophy, so well done.
0:41:21 > 0:41:24APPLAUSE
0:41:26 > 0:41:28Yeah, you've played very well for two shows.
0:41:28 > 0:41:31Now, Gold was a number two single from 1983
0:41:31 > 0:41:36so the numbers add up to the same but not an answer, I am afraid.
0:41:36 > 0:41:40Geoffrey Rush, though, it's before his time. 1997, he won his Oscar.
0:41:40 > 0:41:44Let's take a look at the pointless answers in the different categories.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51Educating Rita, both Julie Walters and Michael Caine,
0:41:51 > 0:41:53they were both nominated.
0:41:53 > 0:41:55You could have had Glenn Close, John Lithgow, Robert Duvall,
0:41:55 > 0:41:58Tom Conti, Tom Courtenay also nominated, for The Dresser.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03Now, Kathy Cook, who won two bronzes.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06You could have had Kriss Akabusi, he was in the relay team,
0:42:06 > 0:42:08all of whom were pointless answers.
0:42:08 > 0:42:10Lucinda Green, formerly Lucinda Prior-Palmer.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13Tessa Sanderson, who won javelin gold, was a pointless answer.
0:42:13 > 0:42:15In fact, everybody except for Seb Coe, Daley Thompson,
0:42:15 > 0:42:18Steve Cram, Steve Redgrave and Fatima Whitbread -
0:42:18 > 0:42:19every single other person,
0:42:19 > 0:42:21including all of the hockey team, all of the relay teams,
0:42:21 > 0:42:24all were pointless. Well done if you said one.
0:42:24 > 0:42:27And number one singles - actually not that many pointless answers,
0:42:27 > 0:42:29about eight in all. 99 Red Balloons by Nena,
0:42:29 > 0:42:31Chaka Khan's I Feel For You.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33Stevie Wonder's I Just Called To Say I Love You,
0:42:33 > 0:42:34Paul McCartney - Pipes of Peace.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36You also could have had Freedom by Wham,
0:42:36 > 0:42:39I Should Have Known Better, Jim Diamond,
0:42:39 > 0:42:42Only You, which was The Flying Pickets, and The Power of Love.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44Thanks very much indeed. Well, we have to say goodbye to you
0:42:44 > 0:42:46but it's been great having you on both shows.
0:42:46 > 0:42:48Thank you so much for playing. Kevin and Shirley!
0:42:48 > 0:42:52APPLAUSE
0:42:52 > 0:42:55Well, sadly Kevin and Shirley didn't win our jackpot today,
0:42:55 > 0:42:57which means it rolls over onto the next show,
0:42:57 > 0:43:01- when we will be playing for £3,250. - CHEERING
0:43:01 > 0:43:03Join us next time to see if someone can win it.
0:43:03 > 0:43:05- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:05 > 0:43:07And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
