0:01:01 > 0:01:03throughout the show as it goes along,

0:01:03 > 0:01:06so that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.

0:01:19 > 0:01:21- Afternoon.- And to you.- How are you?

0:01:21 > 0:01:25- I'm very well, thank you.- Going to be a good show, isn't it?- I think so.

0:01:25 > 0:01:28- I am bang up for it, are you?- Yes, I am.- I am absolutely stoked for it.

0:01:28 > 0:01:31- I am slap bang up for it. - It is going to be awesome.

0:01:31 > 0:01:33- Awesome.- I will be shocked if this is not awesome.- Oh!

0:01:33 > 0:01:35I will be shocked, I will say right now,

0:01:35 > 0:01:38if this isn't the greatest episode of Pointless of all time.

0:01:38 > 0:01:40LAUGHTER

0:01:40 > 0:01:42I can think of seven... No, eight good reasons...

0:01:42 > 0:01:44LAUGHTER

0:01:44 > 0:01:47- Who were you undecided about there? - I'm not going to go into that!

0:01:47 > 0:01:50We have got Mags and Ryan back from last time who got all the way

0:01:50 > 0:01:53through to the head-to-head and lost 2-1 on the head-to-head

0:01:53 > 0:01:55so they are very good. They're going to be tough to beat

0:01:55 > 0:01:59and we didn't see as much of James and Dave as we wanted,

0:01:59 > 0:02:00did we, in the last show?

0:02:00 > 0:02:03- We missed out on their radio voices. - I know!

0:02:03 > 0:02:05They have both got great radio voices.

0:02:05 > 0:02:08- RADIO VOICE:- They met working for local radio.

0:02:08 > 0:02:12- I'm looking forward to hearing that a lot through today's show.- So am I.

0:02:12 > 0:02:15I suspect you'll go further than last time, guys. Fingers crossed.

0:02:15 > 0:02:17- Fingers crossed. - Thanks very much indeed.

0:02:17 > 0:02:20Now, every question's been asked to 100 people before the show.

0:02:20 > 0:02:23Today's contestants are looking for a pointless answer,

0:02:23 > 0:02:25that's an answer that none of our 100 people gave,

0:02:25 > 0:02:28and each time that happens we will add £250 to the jackpot.

0:02:28 > 0:02:31Now, Alan and Jill didn't win the jackpot last time

0:02:31 > 0:02:34so we add another £1,000 to that so today's jackpot

0:02:34 > 0:02:36starts off at £2,250.

0:02:36 > 0:02:38APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:02:40 > 0:02:43Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.

0:02:46 > 0:02:49Now, the pair with the highest score at the end of the round

0:02:49 > 0:02:51will be eliminated and also do remember there is to be

0:02:51 > 0:02:53no conferring during the round.

0:02:53 > 0:02:56OK, our first category today is...

0:02:59 > 0:03:02Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,

0:03:02 > 0:03:03who's going to go second?

0:03:03 > 0:03:06Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:03:08 > 0:03:11OK, and the question concerns...

0:03:15 > 0:03:16Famous people with the initials SS.

0:03:16 > 0:03:19Yes, we're going to show you seven clues on each pass

0:03:19 > 0:03:20to people whose initials are SS.

0:03:20 > 0:03:22Can you give us the most obscure answer, please?

0:03:22 > 0:03:26There's going to be 14 people in all to guess at home. Very best of luck.

0:03:26 > 0:03:27Thanks very much indeed.

0:03:27 > 0:03:30OK, so we're looking for these famous people whose initials

0:03:30 > 0:03:32are SS, and here is our first board of seven clues.

0:03:59 > 0:04:01I'll read those all one last time.

0:04:27 > 0:04:30Now, Marilyn and Steve, you all drew lots before the show today

0:04:30 > 0:04:32and you are going to go first.

0:04:32 > 0:04:35Marilyn, you have stepped up bravely to be the first person to kick off

0:04:35 > 0:04:38this great, historic episode of Pointless.

0:04:38 > 0:04:41- Welcome to the show, Marilyn. It's lovely to have you here.- Thank you.

0:04:41 > 0:04:44- What do you do, Marilyn? - I'm retired.- What have you done?

0:04:44 > 0:04:46I used to work for the Fire Brigade

0:04:46 > 0:04:50- in an administrative capacity. - So you answered the phone?

0:04:50 > 0:04:55No, I did everything but slide down poles really.

0:04:55 > 0:05:00Basically everything but... Did you ever go out for fun on a call-out?

0:05:00 > 0:05:02I did once go on a call-out.

0:05:02 > 0:05:04Did you ever go out by accident on a call-out

0:05:04 > 0:05:06because you were still in the fire engine?

0:05:06 > 0:05:08I've never called them out either!

0:05:08 > 0:05:11What do you get up to with your retirement?

0:05:11 > 0:05:13What do you like to do with your time?

0:05:13 > 0:05:15We love to travel.

0:05:15 > 0:05:19We had a marvellous trip to the USA last year for three months.

0:05:19 > 0:05:22- Wow, that's a proper trip, isn't it?- Yes, we did.

0:05:22 > 0:05:25We touched the Canadian border, the Mexican border

0:05:25 > 0:05:29and we put a foot in the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean.

0:05:29 > 0:05:31At the same time?

0:05:31 > 0:05:34- Yes, it was a terrible stretch! - LAUGHTER

0:05:34 > 0:05:37So, Marilyn, what about these SSes?

0:05:37 > 0:05:41Yes, well, I don't know many of them.

0:05:41 > 0:05:42Um...

0:05:42 > 0:05:47I think I'm going to go for the composer of Sweeney Todd

0:05:47 > 0:05:49and say Stephen Sondheim.

0:05:49 > 0:05:51Stephen Sondheim, says Marilyn.

0:05:51 > 0:05:54Let's see how many of our 100 people said Stephen Sondheim.

0:05:56 > 0:05:58It's right.

0:06:02 > 0:06:04Wow, very well done. 13, Marilyn.

0:06:04 > 0:06:06That's a great start to the show.

0:06:06 > 0:06:09- Stephen Sondheim. - APPLAUSE

0:06:09 > 0:06:12Yes, also wrote the lyrics to West Side Story and Gypsy.

0:06:12 > 0:06:15- Stephen Sondheim.- Stephen Sondheim.

0:06:15 > 0:06:17- Stephen Sondheim.- Stephen Sondheim!

0:06:17 > 0:06:20Sorry, that's not the right voice, sorry. Completely wrong.

0:06:20 > 0:06:22You trying to do your radio voice?

0:06:22 > 0:06:25- Stephen Sondheim.- That's good.

0:06:25 > 0:06:26Stephen Sondheim.

0:06:26 > 0:06:28And the name of that gentleman?

0:06:28 > 0:06:30It was Mr Stephen Sondheim.

0:06:30 > 0:06:33- Oh, yes, oh, that's good. - That's the end of an anecdote.

0:06:33 > 0:06:37And that was a little guy called Stephen Sondheim.

0:06:39 > 0:06:41Oh!

0:06:41 > 0:06:44- Ah, Dave. Welcome back to the show. - Thank you.

0:06:44 > 0:06:46Thank you. Oh, he's...

0:06:46 > 0:06:49They met doing hospital radio.

0:06:49 > 0:06:51Stephen Sondheim.

0:06:51 > 0:06:53- Oh, yes! What were we playing at? - That's better.

0:06:53 > 0:06:56What time were your shows on hospital radio?

0:06:56 > 0:06:58- You do a show at the weekends still, don't you?- Yeah, I do.

0:06:58 > 0:07:01Eight until 12, Saturday and Sunday morning.

0:07:01 > 0:07:02You live where, Dave, sorry?

0:07:02 > 0:07:05It's in a little town called Pontypool which is about

0:07:05 > 0:07:07- half an hour north of Cardiff. - Good stuff.

0:07:07 > 0:07:11OK, now, we're looking for people with double-S as their initials.

0:07:12 > 0:07:17I'm going to go for the actress who won the 2013 Best Actress

0:07:17 > 0:07:19BAFTA for her role in Mrs Biggs.

0:07:19 > 0:07:22I think it was Sheridan Smith.

0:07:22 > 0:07:25Sheridan Smith. Well done, Dave. That sounds good.

0:07:25 > 0:07:26Let's see if it's right

0:07:26 > 0:07:29and, if it is, let's see how many people said it.

0:07:30 > 0:07:32It's absolutely right.

0:07:32 > 0:07:3413 was our best score.

0:07:36 > 0:07:37You passed that, 12!

0:07:37 > 0:07:39APPLAUSE

0:07:39 > 0:07:41- Well played, Dave.- Phew!

0:07:43 > 0:07:47Great answer. Great actress as well. She is brilliant in everything,

0:07:47 > 0:07:50- isn't she, Sheridan Smith?- Always good, yes. Thanks very much indeed.

0:07:50 > 0:07:54- Now, Mags, welcome back to the show. So, last time, head-to-head.- Yes!

0:07:54 > 0:07:56Now, what happened?

0:07:56 > 0:08:00Well, they weren't really our best rounds. In the head-to-head we got

0:08:00 > 0:08:03Andrew Flintoff and then we had to answer questions

0:08:03 > 0:08:05about Oprah Winfrey.

0:08:05 > 0:08:08- But this is fun!- This is quite good, yeah! This is quite good.

0:08:08 > 0:08:12I'm going to have a punt at the original bassist

0:08:12 > 0:08:17for the Beatles who I think was called Stuart Sutcliffe.

0:08:17 > 0:08:18Stuart Sutcliffe, says Mags.

0:08:18 > 0:08:22Let's see if that's right and let's see how many people said it.

0:08:23 > 0:08:24It's right, of course.

0:08:24 > 0:08:27Well, 13's our highest score, 12's our low,

0:08:27 > 0:08:29so quite a narrow field there.

0:08:29 > 0:08:31Well, you beat both of them, down to 10.

0:08:31 > 0:08:33APPLAUSE

0:08:33 > 0:08:35Very well done indeed, Mags.

0:08:36 > 0:08:40Really well played, Mags, yeah. He met John at Liverpool College of Art.

0:08:40 > 0:08:43Keith, welcome to Pointless.

0:08:43 > 0:08:45Great to have you here. What do you do, Keith?

0:08:45 > 0:08:49I'm a retired bank employee for want of a better word.

0:08:49 > 0:08:52And what do you do with your retirement? What are your hobbies?

0:08:52 > 0:08:55I have a musical interest, sing and play guitar, mandolin.

0:08:55 > 0:09:00- Also have an interest in archaeology.- Do you play in a band?

0:09:00 > 0:09:05- I've played in a duo with a friend, Jeff, for 30 years nearly.- Right!

0:09:05 > 0:09:09- What are you called?- Deja Vu. - I am sure I have seen them before!

0:09:09 > 0:09:11LAUGHTER

0:09:13 > 0:09:16Now then, Keith, you're the last person to have this board.

0:09:16 > 0:09:19Do you fancy talking us through it? Maybe filling in all the blanks?

0:09:19 > 0:09:21I think I know every one that's left.

0:09:21 > 0:09:23I knew the bottom one, Stuart Sutcliffe.

0:09:23 > 0:09:26I think the actress who played Louise, was that Susan Sarandon?

0:09:26 > 0:09:29Lead singer of the Noisettes, Steve Strange comes into my head

0:09:29 > 0:09:31for some reason but I'm not sure.

0:09:31 > 0:09:33I think Sylvester Stallone is the fourth one.

0:09:33 > 0:09:35I'm going to go for a punt here -

0:09:35 > 0:09:37Nottingham Forest, I think that's Steve Stone.

0:09:37 > 0:09:40OK, Steve Stone. Let's find out if that's right

0:09:40 > 0:09:44and, if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Steve Stone.

0:09:44 > 0:09:47It's absolutely right, very well done, Keith.

0:09:47 > 0:09:5010 is our low score at the moment, 13 our high.

0:09:50 > 0:09:53Oh, you pass all of them, down to 9!

0:09:53 > 0:09:54Very well done. What a round!

0:09:54 > 0:09:56APPLAUSE

0:09:56 > 0:09:59It started well and just got better and better.

0:09:59 > 0:10:00A fantastic score. 9 for Steve Stone.

0:10:00 > 0:10:03I said it would be a good show. Really four very good answers.

0:10:03 > 0:10:05Seven up there, there's a couple of obvious ones.

0:10:05 > 0:10:08You've all avoided the obvious ones. You've all got correct answers.

0:10:08 > 0:10:10It doesn't happen very often in rounds like this, does it?

0:10:10 > 0:10:12Let's take a look at those obvious ones.

0:10:12 > 0:10:15You're right about Susan Sarandon. She was in Thelma and Louise.

0:10:15 > 0:10:19She would have been a slightly higher scorer than the ones we had though, 43.

0:10:19 > 0:10:21You're right about Sylvester Stallone as well, of course.

0:10:21 > 0:10:24Rocky and Rambo, he would have scored 54.

0:10:24 > 0:10:27Now the lead singer of the band the Noisettes,

0:10:27 > 0:10:31not Steve Strange, who was Visage amongst others, it was...

0:10:31 > 0:10:35and very well done if you said this, Shingai Shoniwa.

0:10:35 > 0:10:38- That was on the tip of my tongue there.- One point, one point.

0:10:38 > 0:10:41- Very well done if you said that. - Thanks very much.

0:10:41 > 0:10:44We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at those scores.

0:10:44 > 0:10:47Well, as I said, it started well and got better. 9, Keith and Dan.

0:10:47 > 0:10:49Well done, Keith. Great answer there.

0:10:49 > 0:10:52Keith and Dan looking very strong at the moment and then

0:10:52 > 0:10:55not that far behind them, Mags and Ryan on 10.

0:10:55 > 0:10:56On 12 we find Dave and James.

0:10:56 > 0:11:00And then on 13, Marilyn and Steve.

0:11:00 > 0:11:03I mean, it could be anyone's but, Steve, you are nominally ahead so,

0:11:03 > 0:11:06a nice low score from you should see you through to the next round.

0:11:06 > 0:11:08Best of luck. We'll come back down the line now.

0:11:08 > 0:11:11Can the second players please step up to the podium?

0:11:11 > 0:11:14OK, we're going to put seven more clues on the board

0:11:14 > 0:11:16and here they come. We have got...

0:11:41 > 0:11:43I will read those all one last time.

0:12:04 > 0:12:07There we are. Seven famous people with the initials SS.

0:12:07 > 0:12:09Now, Dan, you're going to try and find the one

0:12:09 > 0:12:12that you think the fewest of our 100 people knew.

0:12:12 > 0:12:14Dan, welcome to the show. What do you do, Dan?

0:12:14 > 0:12:16I'm currently studying at the University of Derby,

0:12:16 > 0:12:19- studying popular music. - So, what do you cover?

0:12:19 > 0:12:21What are your specialist areas in that?

0:12:21 > 0:12:24Well, I'm a guitarist and singer myself and I write my own music.

0:12:24 > 0:12:26I've played in a band at home for four years called -

0:12:26 > 0:12:30also have a French origin name - Cul-De-Sac.

0:12:30 > 0:12:33- Who came up with the name?- We had a little word association game

0:12:33 > 0:12:36and I think the first four weren't allowed to be repeated

0:12:36 > 0:12:39in front of my parents or anyone's brother or sister

0:12:39 > 0:12:42so I think we had to go with something a little cleaner.

0:12:42 > 0:12:45Have you got a sort of logo for the band as well, maybe?

0:12:45 > 0:12:48It's not one of those T signs that you get on the road

0:12:48 > 0:12:50with a red dot, it's not one of those, don't worry.

0:12:50 > 0:12:52OK. Dan, what are you going to go for?

0:12:52 > 0:12:55Well, I was quite glad when it got towards the bottom

0:12:55 > 0:12:57cos I saw one I thought, "I actually know this one,"

0:12:57 > 0:13:00so I'm going to go for the Scottish singer who fronts Texas

0:13:00 > 0:13:02and that's Sharleen Spiteri.

0:13:02 > 0:13:05Sharleen Spiteri, very well done. Let's see if that's right

0:13:05 > 0:13:07and, if it is, let's see how many people said it.

0:13:07 > 0:13:09There's your red line, very low.

0:13:09 > 0:13:12Let's see how far down the column Sharleen Spiteri gets you.

0:13:20 > 0:13:2534. 34 takes your total up to 43, Dan.

0:13:25 > 0:13:27Yes, another good answer

0:13:27 > 0:13:29but it's the biggest score yet, Sharleen Spiteri.

0:13:29 > 0:13:31That's a big score, isn't it, compared to the others?

0:13:31 > 0:13:35Thanks very much indeed. Now then, Ryan, welcome back. Welcome back.

0:13:35 > 0:13:37- Hello.- Welcome back. So, yes,

0:13:37 > 0:13:40- a tough, tough time you had of it. - Very tough.- That was tough.

0:13:40 > 0:13:43We had British Soap Awards winners of best actor and actress

0:13:43 > 0:13:45and everyone scored 100.

0:13:45 > 0:13:48Anyway, you came through smiling and here you are again.

0:13:48 > 0:13:51A nice low score there, the high scorers at the moment -

0:13:51 > 0:13:55Dan and Keith on 43, you're on 10, so 32 or less sees you through.

0:13:55 > 0:13:57It's going to get far higher, I'm afraid.

0:13:57 > 0:14:00I've made a fatal error in going second.

0:14:00 > 0:14:03- I knew six of the seven on the first board.- Oh, no!

0:14:03 > 0:14:06The one I was banking on has just been taken.

0:14:06 > 0:14:08I was going patriotic but it's gone.

0:14:08 > 0:14:12So, I'm going to go with Jaws and Jurassic Park,

0:14:12 > 0:14:13that's Steven Spielberg.

0:14:13 > 0:14:16Steven Spielberg, says Ryan. Let's see if that's right

0:14:16 > 0:14:19and let's see how many people said it. There's your red line,

0:14:19 > 0:14:21get below that and you are through to the next round for sure.

0:14:21 > 0:14:24Let's see how many of our 100 people said Steven Spielberg.

0:14:25 > 0:14:27It's right!

0:14:29 > 0:14:3155.

0:14:31 > 0:14:32APPLAUSE

0:14:33 > 0:14:3655 takes your total up to 65. That could be enough to see you through.

0:14:36 > 0:14:38Richard?

0:14:38 > 0:14:39He's godfather to Drew Barrymore

0:14:39 > 0:14:42and Gwyneth Paltrow, Steven Spielberg.

0:14:42 > 0:14:44Wow! Thank you very much indeed, Richard.

0:14:44 > 0:14:47Now then, James. Welcome back, James, good to have you here.

0:14:47 > 0:14:49Now, Dave still working in radio.

0:14:49 > 0:14:53Have you abandoned your radio career altogether, James?

0:14:53 > 0:14:55- About 20 years ago, yes.- Oh, dear.

0:14:55 > 0:14:58Do you ever listen to the radio and think...

0:14:58 > 0:15:01- RADIO VOICE:- "That's rubbish. I could do better than that."

0:15:01 > 0:15:05Well, I definitely had a face for radio but, no, I'm quite happy.

0:15:05 > 0:15:06I wouldn't say that! Not at all.

0:15:06 > 0:15:09I mean, a face for radio in that maybe headphones would sit

0:15:09 > 0:15:13quite comfortably on it but in no other sense, certainly.

0:15:13 > 0:15:16Well, the high score is now Ryan and Mags on 65.

0:15:16 > 0:15:20You want to score 52 or less to get through. I think you can do that.

0:15:20 > 0:15:22Well, I hope so.

0:15:22 > 0:15:27The tennis Grand Slam winner was Stan Smith.

0:15:27 > 0:15:29Stan Smith. Let's see if that's right,

0:15:29 > 0:15:31let's see how many of our 100 people said Stan Smith.

0:15:31 > 0:15:35There's your red line. Below that you are in the next round.

0:15:40 > 0:15:42Very well done, you're through.

0:15:44 > 0:15:4611! Good answer.

0:15:46 > 0:15:51Very well done, takes your total up to 23, the lowest total so far.

0:15:51 > 0:15:55Well played, James. The quality answers continue. Yes, Stan Smith.

0:15:55 > 0:15:58Now, Steve. Steve, you're the last person to have this board.

0:15:58 > 0:16:03Welcome to the show, Steve. Now, how did you and Marilyn meet each other?

0:16:03 > 0:16:09We met, Marilyn advertised for a man and I was looking for a woman

0:16:09 > 0:16:14so I went to the library. I couldn't be bothered to buy the paper.

0:16:14 > 0:16:17Read the local paper and the rest, as they say, is history.

0:16:17 > 0:16:20How long had you been looking down the column in the paper?

0:16:20 > 0:16:23Or was it just the first time you looked and there it just leapt out?

0:16:23 > 0:16:26- Pretty well!- A beam of light shone through the library window

0:16:26 > 0:16:28- and lit up.- That's it.

0:16:28 > 0:16:31- It was a good day for me, it was a good day.- Lovely.

0:16:31 > 0:16:33Well, Steve, there you are, you're on 13.

0:16:33 > 0:16:36The high score is still Ryan and Mags on 65.

0:16:36 > 0:16:3751 or less sees you through.

0:16:37 > 0:16:41- Why not talk us through the board if you can?- Yes.

0:16:41 > 0:16:43Well, the top one I don't know.

0:16:43 > 0:16:46Catherine Tramell, I think, has to be Sharon Stone.

0:16:46 > 0:16:51The assassin of Robert Kennedy I'm thinking is Sirhan Sirhan

0:16:51 > 0:16:54and the English artist I believe Stanley Spencer.

0:16:56 > 0:16:59I think I will go for Stanley Spencer.

0:16:59 > 0:17:00That sounds like the right one to me.

0:17:00 > 0:17:02Stanley Spencer. There's your red line.

0:17:02 > 0:17:06If you get below that with Stanley Spencer you are in Round Two.

0:17:06 > 0:17:08Let's see how many of our 100 said Stanley Spencer.

0:17:10 > 0:17:12It's right!

0:17:13 > 0:17:15And you're through to Round Two.

0:17:15 > 0:17:17Very well done. That's a good answer.

0:17:17 > 0:17:20Down it goes. Continues down to 3.

0:17:20 > 0:17:24Takes your total up to 16. Now, that is the lowest total of the round.

0:17:24 > 0:17:28- Very well done, Steve.- Well played, Steve, well played, everybody there.

0:17:28 > 0:17:30Yeah, the chapel where he used to worship's now

0:17:30 > 0:17:34the Stanley Spencer Gallery in Cookham. Well worth a visit.

0:17:34 > 0:17:37Three points. You were right as well about Sirhan Sirhan.

0:17:37 > 0:17:40Would have scored you 9 points. Would have been a very good answer though.

0:17:40 > 0:17:43You were right about Catherine Tramell. It was Sharon Stone.

0:17:43 > 0:17:46A lot of points there though, 53. Do you know the top one?

0:17:46 > 0:17:47Steven Soderbergh.

0:17:47 > 0:17:50Steven Soderbergh, yes, which would have scored 14,

0:17:50 > 0:17:52so the best answer up there is Stanley Spencer. Well played.

0:17:52 > 0:17:54Thanks very much indeed.

0:17:54 > 0:17:56So, the end of our first round, the pair who will be leaving us

0:17:56 > 0:18:00with their high score of 65 is Ryan and Mags. Head-to-head last time.

0:18:00 > 0:18:02- Gutted.- I'm sorry.

0:18:02 > 0:18:05I'm afraid Steven Spielberg was a big high score.

0:18:05 > 0:18:08Mags, did you know some lower scores on that board?

0:18:08 > 0:18:10As soon as he said Stanley Spencer I knew that one as well

0:18:10 > 0:18:13but it wouldn't have been a good board for me, that.

0:18:13 > 0:18:15We've come up against good opposition today.

0:18:15 > 0:18:19- We've peaked!- Graciously said. This is where we have to say goodbye.

0:18:19 > 0:18:22It's been lovely having you. Thanks so much for playing, Ryan and Mags.

0:18:22 > 0:18:24APPLAUSE

0:18:25 > 0:18:28But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.

0:18:32 > 0:18:36And so three pairs remain. Some great work there.

0:18:36 > 0:18:41Marilyn and Steve, two great answers from you, lovely low scores there.

0:18:41 > 0:18:42Also Steve Stone,

0:18:42 > 0:18:45a great answer for the Nottingham Forest footballer.

0:18:45 > 0:18:47Very well done. I wouldn't want to call it at this stage.

0:18:47 > 0:18:51Best of luck to all three pairs. Our category for Round Two is...

0:18:54 > 0:18:57Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first,

0:18:57 > 0:18:59who's going to go second?

0:18:59 > 0:19:01Whoever's going first please step up to the podium.

0:19:04 > 0:19:06OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.

0:19:06 > 0:19:11We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...

0:19:17 > 0:19:192013 Miss World contestants, Richard.

0:19:19 > 0:19:22Yeah, we're looking for the name of any nation represented

0:19:22 > 0:19:24in the Miss World pageant 2013.

0:19:24 > 0:19:26Any nation represented in that pageant.

0:19:26 > 0:19:30For once we don't mean members of the UN who are a sovereign state

0:19:30 > 0:19:33because certain of the nations weren't.

0:19:33 > 0:19:38OK, so there we are. Steve, Miss World 2013.

0:19:38 > 0:19:41This is the one you have been praying for, isn't it?

0:19:41 > 0:19:45- I didn't even know it was still going, to be honest.- Nor did I!

0:19:45 > 0:19:49I'm going to pick somewhere in South America. I'm going to say Venezuela.

0:19:49 > 0:19:51Miss Venezuela, says Steve.

0:19:51 > 0:19:55Let's see if Miss Venezuela was taking part in 2013 Miss World

0:19:55 > 0:19:57and, if she was, let's see how many people remembered her.

0:20:00 > 0:20:04Good answer, Steve. Miss Venezuela.

0:20:04 > 0:20:07Takes you all the way down to 9.

0:20:07 > 0:20:10APPLAUSE

0:20:13 > 0:20:15Yeah, Karen Soto was Miss Venezuela.

0:20:15 > 0:20:16Her favourite novel is

0:20:16 > 0:20:19Chronicle Of A Death Foretold by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

0:20:19 > 0:20:21Wow. Now, James,

0:20:21 > 0:20:25any nation represented in the 2013 Miss World competition.

0:20:25 > 0:20:27I'm going to go for

0:20:27 > 0:20:29Miss Bolivia.

0:20:29 > 0:20:31Miss Bolivia. OK, let's see if that's right and, if it is,

0:20:31 > 0:20:34let's see how many of our 100 people said Miss Bolivia.

0:20:36 > 0:20:37Yup, she was there.

0:20:39 > 0:20:41Well, 9 for Miss Venezuela.

0:20:43 > 0:20:45Ooh! Look at that! 2 for Miss Bolivia!

0:20:45 > 0:20:47- Splendid!- Well said.

0:20:47 > 0:20:49APPLAUSE

0:20:49 > 0:20:53Yeah, well played, James. I have very little information on Miss Bolivia, I'm afraid.

0:20:53 > 0:20:55I don't know what her favourite novel is.

0:20:55 > 0:20:57AUDIENCE CHUCKLES

0:20:57 > 0:20:58Sorry.

0:20:58 > 0:21:02Dan, will you be answering this on any authority at all, or...?

0:21:02 > 0:21:04Sort of. I've got a little bit of a logic

0:21:04 > 0:21:07and it stays in the South America theme.

0:21:07 > 0:21:09- Yes.- And I was thinking Shakira?

0:21:10 > 0:21:13- Yeah.- And I think she's from Colombia, so Miss Colombia?

0:21:13 > 0:21:15Miss Colombia. OK.

0:21:15 > 0:21:18Well, we've gone Venezuela to Bolivia, and now we go to Colombia.

0:21:18 > 0:21:21Let's see how many of our 100 people said Miss Colombia.

0:21:24 > 0:21:27You are right, Dan. Good logic.

0:21:27 > 0:21:299 for Venezuela. 2 for Bolivia.

0:21:29 > 0:21:31Let's see how far down Colombia goes.

0:21:31 > 0:21:34One! Very well done! The trend continues!

0:21:36 > 0:21:37Great answer, Dan.

0:21:37 > 0:21:42- Yeah, absolutely. We don't really take it too seriously any more over here, do we, Miss World?- No.

0:21:42 > 0:21:45- Which I think is probably good.- Yes. Thanks very much indeed, Richard.

0:21:45 > 0:21:49We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at the scores. 1, the best score of that pass.

0:21:49 > 0:21:53Very well done indeed, Dan. Up to 2, where we find James and Dave.

0:21:53 > 0:21:55Then up to 9, where we find Steve and Marilyn.

0:21:55 > 0:21:59Marilyn, it seems to be a bit of a...guessing game at this stage

0:21:59 > 0:22:04but good luck with your guess. Let's hope it's a low-scoring one and that it'll keep you in the game.

0:22:04 > 0:22:08We'll come back down the line now. Can the second players step up to the podium?

0:22:11 > 0:22:17OK, Keith, we are looking for any nation that was represented at the 2013 Miss World competition.

0:22:17 > 0:22:20I'm going to go across a bit of water.

0:22:20 > 0:22:22I'm going to go for Miss Philippines.

0:22:22 > 0:22:25Miss Philippines, says Keith.

0:22:25 > 0:22:28The high scorers are Marilyn and Steve on 9. You're on 1.

0:22:28 > 0:22:31So a score of 7 or less should see you through.

0:22:31 > 0:22:36There's your red line. Miss Philippines, let's see how many said that if it's right.

0:22:36 > 0:22:37It's right.

0:22:43 > 0:22:45Very well done. 9, it scored.

0:22:47 > 0:22:49Which takes your total up to 10.

0:22:49 > 0:22:53Yes, actually, Miss World, Miss Philippines. Megan Young.

0:22:53 > 0:22:55It's a lovely old Filipino name(!)

0:22:55 > 0:22:57LAUGHTER

0:22:57 > 0:23:00Thanks, Richard. Now, Dave.

0:23:00 > 0:23:02Dave... There you are on 2.

0:23:02 > 0:23:04Keith and Dan our current high scorers on 10,

0:23:04 > 0:23:08so 7 or less, again, same target as Keith had.

0:23:08 > 0:23:09I'm going to have a punt...

0:23:11 > 0:23:13..at Miss New Zealand.

0:23:13 > 0:23:17Miss New Zealand. OK. There is your red line.

0:23:17 > 0:23:20If you get below that with Miss New Zealand... What do you think, James?

0:23:20 > 0:23:23It's a brave...very brave move.

0:23:23 > 0:23:25OK, let's see. Miss New Zealand.

0:23:25 > 0:23:28How many of our 100 people said that? Is it right?

0:23:30 > 0:23:31It is right.

0:23:35 > 0:23:37Still going down. Still going...

0:23:37 > 0:23:38Ooh! 11.

0:23:39 > 0:23:4411 takes your total up to 13. That could be enough.

0:23:44 > 0:23:48- Yes, Miss New Zealand. Do you miss New Zealand?- Do I miss New Zealand?

0:23:48 > 0:23:53- Oh, a bit, yeah.- Yeah, me, too. - I've never been but I do. Ah!- I do.

0:23:53 > 0:23:56Now, Marilyn, it's over to you.

0:23:56 > 0:23:59We have a contest on our hands here, Marilyn, because you're on 9,

0:23:59 > 0:24:04the high scorers are Dave and James on 13. So your target is 3.

0:24:04 > 0:24:07Well, I'm going to stick with South America

0:24:07 > 0:24:10cos I know they take Miss World very seriously there.

0:24:10 > 0:24:13I'm going to go for...

0:24:14 > 0:24:18- ..Miss Guatemala. - Miss Guatemala, says Marilyn.

0:24:18 > 0:24:22Let's find out. Is that right and, if it is, how many people said Miss Guatemala?

0:24:24 > 0:24:25It's right.

0:24:28 > 0:24:29It's right...

0:24:31 > 0:24:33Oh, you've done it, look at that! 1 for Miss Guatemala!

0:24:33 > 0:24:35Marilyn, very well done indeed!

0:24:35 > 0:24:39That takes your total up to 10 and sees you into the head-to-head.

0:24:39 > 0:24:42- That's great work, Marilyn. Well done, you.- Well played, Marilyn.

0:24:42 > 0:24:47- Yes, she's Karla Loraine Quinto. She's an interior designer...- Is she?

0:24:47 > 0:24:50- ..Miss Guatemala, yeah. - Good for her.- She is.

0:24:50 > 0:24:53Let's take a look at some of the pointless answers.

0:24:53 > 0:24:55It's name a country, really.

0:25:03 > 0:25:06Miss Nepal, she won Beauty with a Purpose this year.

0:25:06 > 0:25:09- Is that a subcategory, then? - Yeah, it is, yeah.

0:25:13 > 0:25:16Miss Uganda, who...she's got a degree from Greenwich University,

0:25:16 > 0:25:19Miss Uganda. So she's a Brit, really.

0:25:19 > 0:25:22She's not really. She's from Uganda but she studied in the UK.

0:25:22 > 0:25:23And to make up for the fact that

0:25:23 > 0:25:26we've just had to do a round about beauty queens,

0:25:26 > 0:25:29the first round of the head-to-head,

0:25:29 > 0:25:33I'm revisiting one of the classic Pointless rounds of all time.

0:25:33 > 0:25:36- What do you think about that? - I-I'm beyond words.

0:25:36 > 0:25:41We've got some genuine, proper beauties in the first question of the head-to-head.

0:25:41 > 0:25:44I'm looking forward to that very much indeed. Thank you very much.

0:25:44 > 0:25:47So, we've come to the end of our second round and I'm sorry to say,

0:25:47 > 0:25:49with a score of 13...

0:25:49 > 0:25:52When was that, when was that an excommunicable score?

0:25:52 > 0:25:56I am so sorry. It's been great fun having you on the show. You've been such good sports.

0:25:56 > 0:25:59Thanks so much for joining us. Dave and James, great contestants!

0:25:59 > 0:26:02APPLAUSE

0:26:02 > 0:26:05But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.

0:26:10 > 0:26:12Congratulations, Marilyn and Steve, Dan and Keith.

0:26:12 > 0:26:15You're one step closer to the final and a chance to play for our jackpot,

0:26:15 > 0:26:18which currently stands at £2,250.

0:26:22 > 0:26:26So now we have to decide who's going to play for that money,

0:26:26 > 0:26:28and to do that, you are going to go head-to-head,

0:26:28 > 0:26:30but this time you're allowed to confer.

0:26:30 > 0:26:33The first pair to win two questions will be playing for the jackpot.

0:26:33 > 0:26:37Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.

0:26:41 > 0:26:45OK, here comes your first question and it concerns...

0:26:48 > 0:26:51LAUGHTER

0:26:51 > 0:26:55- Yeah, you like?- I love. - Yeah, I thought you would.

0:26:55 > 0:26:58We're going to show you five pictures of salad leaves now.

0:26:58 > 0:27:02We need you to identify the most obscure of these salad leaves.

0:27:02 > 0:27:04Very best of luck.

0:27:04 > 0:27:08Well, now, let's reveal our five salad leaves.

0:27:08 > 0:27:10Here we go. Hold on to your hats! Here they come.

0:27:12 > 0:27:13A-ha.

0:27:15 > 0:27:17- Aw!- Ah, look...

0:27:19 > 0:27:21- Aw!- Mm-hm.

0:27:23 > 0:27:24Oh...

0:27:28 > 0:27:29Aw!

0:27:30 > 0:27:32There we are.

0:27:32 > 0:27:37Marilyn and Steve, you've played best throughout the show so far so you will go first.

0:27:38 > 0:27:41- MARILYN:- (I've forgotten the first one.)

0:27:41 > 0:27:44- (D is lollo rosso.- Yeah...)

0:27:48 > 0:27:52We're going to go for C, rocket.

0:27:52 > 0:27:54C, rocket, you're going to say.

0:27:56 > 0:28:00Now, Dan and Keith. Do you want to talk us through the rest of the board?

0:28:00 > 0:28:01- Hmm...- I wish we could.

0:28:01 > 0:28:05Erm, we've seen A in the bags of salad we've had.

0:28:05 > 0:28:07I don't think it's beetroot, though.

0:28:07 > 0:28:08Beetroot's got the same kind of leaves

0:28:08 > 0:28:11- but I don't think you put that in salad.- No, you wouldn't.

0:28:11 > 0:28:15B, I think, is iceberg lettuce, they call it. C is right, is rocket.

0:28:15 > 0:28:18D is... Is it BABY spinach or just...?

0:28:18 > 0:28:21- E looks like baby spinach. E?- Yeah.

0:28:21 > 0:28:23We'll go for E, and that's baby spinach.

0:28:23 > 0:28:26OK, you're going to say baby spinach.

0:28:26 > 0:28:28So, we have rocket and we have baby spinach.

0:28:28 > 0:28:32Marilyn and Steve said rocket for C. Let's see if that's right

0:28:32 > 0:28:34and, if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said rocket.

0:28:36 > 0:28:38It's right.

0:28:45 > 0:28:47Quite a high score for rocket there.

0:28:47 > 0:28:50Now, Dan and Keith have said spinach, baby spinach, for E.

0:28:50 > 0:28:52Let's see if that's right and, if it is,

0:28:52 > 0:28:55let's see how many of our 100 people said spinach.

0:28:57 > 0:28:58It's right.

0:29:00 > 0:29:02Ooh, it wins you the point! What about that!

0:29:02 > 0:29:03Spinach down to 36.

0:29:05 > 0:29:07Well played, Dan and Keith.

0:29:07 > 0:29:10That means after one question, you are up 1-0.

0:29:10 > 0:29:13Yeah, actually spinach there, without a sense of scale.

0:29:13 > 0:29:15It's identical to baby spinach.

0:29:15 > 0:29:17Let's go through the rest of them.

0:29:17 > 0:29:20Now, A, it is a member of the beet family.

0:29:20 > 0:29:22It's the Swiss chard.

0:29:22 > 0:29:24Would've scored you six points.

0:29:24 > 0:29:26B is iceberg.

0:29:26 > 0:29:28Actually would've scored fewer points than rocket.

0:29:28 > 0:29:30Would've scored 49 points.

0:29:30 > 0:29:33And D, I think you knew that, Marilyn.

0:29:33 > 0:29:35- It's lollo rosso.- It IS lollo rosso.

0:29:35 > 0:29:38- Would've been a very good one to go for.- He talked me out of it.

0:29:38 > 0:29:42- Oh, Steve!- Steve! What were you thinking?!

0:29:42 > 0:29:45- Would've scored 11 points. - Thanks very much indeed.

0:29:45 > 0:29:47Now, here comes your second question.

0:29:47 > 0:29:49Dan and Keith, you will get to answer this first but,

0:29:49 > 0:29:52Marilyn and Steve, you have to win it to stay in the game,

0:29:52 > 0:29:53so good luck. It concerns...

0:29:58 > 0:30:01We're going to show you five words relating to armour now

0:30:01 > 0:30:04but we've removed alternate letters from each of the words.

0:30:04 > 0:30:06Can you fill in those gaps, please?

0:30:06 > 0:30:11OK, let's reveal our armour with missing bits, and here they are.

0:30:20 > 0:30:22I'll read those all one last time.

0:30:29 > 0:30:32There we are. Five pieces of armour.

0:30:32 > 0:30:34Dan and Keith, you will go first.

0:30:45 > 0:30:47- Right. Right...- We know a couple.

0:30:47 > 0:30:49OK.

0:30:49 > 0:30:52We'll go for the bottom one and say helmet.

0:30:52 > 0:30:55OK, you're going to go for helmet. Dan and Keith say helmet.

0:30:55 > 0:30:58Marilyn and Steve, talk us through any of the others you might know.

0:30:58 > 0:31:01I think the top is visor.

0:31:01 > 0:31:03The second is greave.

0:31:03 > 0:31:05The third is gauntlet.

0:31:06 > 0:31:08I don't know what the next one is,

0:31:08 > 0:31:11and, yes, the bottom one's helmet.

0:31:11 > 0:31:15- Are you sure about greave? - Yeah. I think so.

0:31:15 > 0:31:17- Yeah. Go for that one?- Go for it.

0:31:17 > 0:31:20- Greave.- OK, greave, say Marilyn and Steve.

0:31:20 > 0:31:23Dan and Keith said helmet. Let's see if that's right

0:31:23 > 0:31:26and, if it is, let's see how many people said helmet.

0:31:27 > 0:31:29It's right.

0:31:30 > 0:31:32But it's high.

0:31:32 > 0:31:3380.

0:31:35 > 0:31:37Meanwhile, Marilyn and Steve have gone for greave.

0:31:37 > 0:31:39Let's see if that's right

0:31:39 > 0:31:41and, if it is, let's see how many people said greave.

0:31:44 > 0:31:46Absolutely right and it wins you the point.

0:31:48 > 0:31:50Oh, that's a good score, look at that! Greave!

0:31:50 > 0:31:52Ooh! 8!

0:31:52 > 0:31:56APPLAUSE

0:31:56 > 0:31:59- Very well done, Marilyn. Well done not listening to Steve!- Yes!

0:31:59 > 0:32:02- You're learning!- I'm learning now! - Exactly what you needed to do.

0:32:02 > 0:32:05After two questions, you're back up 1-1.

0:32:05 > 0:32:08Very well played there. Runs from the ankle to the knee, the greave.

0:32:08 > 0:32:12Goliath was said to have worn a greave, presumably two.

0:32:12 > 0:32:13Visor is the right answer.

0:32:13 > 0:32:16It's a big scorer, though, as you would suspect.

0:32:16 > 0:32:18Would've scored you 83 points.

0:32:18 > 0:32:21Gauntlet, also correct answer.

0:32:21 > 0:32:24Gauntlet would've scored... Actually, it's not a bad scorer, gauntlet.

0:32:24 > 0:32:26Would've got you 12.

0:32:26 > 0:32:29And the last one is a pointless answer.

0:32:29 > 0:32:31It's worn on the forearm and it's a vambrace.

0:32:31 > 0:32:33Vambrace. Very well done if you said that.

0:32:33 > 0:32:37Thanks very much indeed, Richard. So, here comes the third question, the decider.

0:32:37 > 0:32:41Whoever wins this goes through to the final and plays for that jackpot.

0:32:41 > 0:32:43Best of luck to both pairs. It concerns...

0:32:45 > 0:32:49- Richard.- Just going to give you five clues now to facts about bees and their honey.

0:32:49 > 0:32:53The team that gives us the most obscure answer's going through to play for the jackpot.

0:32:53 > 0:32:56- Very best of luck.- Let's reveal our five clues, and here they come.

0:32:56 > 0:32:57We have got...

0:33:15 > 0:33:17I'll read those all one last time.

0:33:34 > 0:33:38There we are. Five clues to facts about bees and their honey.

0:33:38 > 0:33:40Marilyn and Steve, you will go first this time.

0:33:53 > 0:33:56- Well, I'll let you decide this time. Yes, first one, I think.- OK.

0:33:56 > 0:34:02We think that the honeybee secretion is royal jelly.

0:34:02 > 0:34:05Royal jelly, say Marilyn and Steve. Royal jelly.

0:34:05 > 0:34:09Now, then, Dan and Keith, the board is all yours.

0:34:09 > 0:34:11Like the last round, we know a couple

0:34:11 > 0:34:13which may be high-scoring, I think.

0:34:13 > 0:34:15The bottom one, obviously, is mead.

0:34:15 > 0:34:19Second from the bottom is hexagonal shape, I think the shape is.

0:34:19 > 0:34:21The term for a male honeybee, I think drone,

0:34:21 > 0:34:25but I think that's a wasp. So we'll go for the second one down.

0:34:25 > 0:34:27I think... Was it The Flight Of The Bumblebee? I think it was.

0:34:27 > 0:34:29You're going to say the bumblebee.

0:34:29 > 0:34:32OK, so we have royal jelly and we have bumblebee.

0:34:32 > 0:34:35Marilyn and Steve said royal jelly. Let's see if that's right,

0:34:35 > 0:34:37let's see how many people said royal jelly.

0:34:39 > 0:34:40It's right.

0:34:49 > 0:34:5120 for royal jelly.

0:34:51 > 0:34:55Now, Dan and Keith, let's see how many you can score for bumblebee.

0:34:55 > 0:34:57Flight Of The Bumblebee. How many people said it?

0:35:00 > 0:35:01It's right.

0:35:03 > 0:35:05Ooh! 44!

0:35:05 > 0:35:09APPLAUSE

0:35:09 > 0:35:1144. Very well done, Marilyn and Steve.

0:35:11 > 0:35:14After three questions, you are through to the final 2-1.

0:35:14 > 0:35:16Royal jelly was actually the lowest scorer there.

0:35:16 > 0:35:19Nothing you could've done. They're all quite high scorers.

0:35:19 > 0:35:21In fact, they go up and up as we go through the board.

0:35:21 > 0:35:24The common term for a male honeybee is a drone, actually,

0:35:24 > 0:35:26but would've scored you 51 points.

0:35:26 > 0:35:28The geometric shape is the hexagon.

0:35:28 > 0:35:30That would've scored you 60.

0:35:30 > 0:35:33And 69 points for mead.

0:35:33 > 0:35:35The four-letter alcoholic drink.

0:35:35 > 0:35:39- People know their bees, don't they? - Mm, they do. Thanks very much.

0:35:39 > 0:35:41So, at the end of our head-to-head round,

0:35:41 > 0:35:43the pair who'll be leaving us are Dan and Keith.

0:35:43 > 0:35:46Well, you did very well. Three perfectly good answers.

0:35:46 > 0:35:50Did you know... Did you then know some of those other ones, the other bits of armour?

0:35:50 > 0:35:54- Only... Gauntlet came to me but greave...- Hard to see, though.

0:35:54 > 0:35:56I thought it was royal jelly that was the secretion.

0:35:56 > 0:35:58We were hoping they wouldn't go for it.

0:35:58 > 0:36:01Had we gone first, I think we might have taken a punt on that, but, no.

0:36:01 > 0:36:04- Worthy winners.- It's good news for us as we get to see you again.

0:36:04 > 0:36:08Otherwise it would all have been too brief, just one appearance. We look forward to it.

0:36:08 > 0:36:11Dan and Keith, meantime, thanks for playing. Great contestants.

0:36:11 > 0:36:13APPLAUSE

0:36:13 > 0:36:16But for Marilyn and Steve, it's now time for our Pointless final.

0:36:20 > 0:36:23Congratulations, Marilyn and Steve. You've seen off all the competition

0:36:23 > 0:36:27- and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.- Marvellous! - Many congratulations.

0:36:33 > 0:36:35You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.

0:36:35 > 0:36:37At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands

0:36:37 > 0:36:39at £2,250.

0:36:39 > 0:36:43CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:36:44 > 0:36:46Well, you've done very, very well indeed.

0:36:46 > 0:36:48Two great answers in the first round

0:36:48 > 0:36:50if you cast your minds back to our double Ss.

0:36:50 > 0:36:54Stanley Spencer and Stephen Sondheim, and that sort of set the course for the rest of the show.

0:36:54 > 0:36:58What would you like to see come up? Steve, what would be good for you this round?

0:36:58 > 0:37:00Well, maybe science.

0:37:00 > 0:37:03Politics, possibly. Something like that. Wildlife.

0:37:03 > 0:37:06Two things that people hardly ever say. Politics!

0:37:06 > 0:37:09- Marilyn, how about you? Anything else?- Politics, yes. History.

0:37:09 > 0:37:11Good stuff. Well, best of luck.

0:37:11 > 0:37:14As always, you kick this round off by choosing the category you want to answer under.

0:37:14 > 0:37:16And here are your four options.

0:37:27 > 0:37:31- It'll have to be religious history. - I think so.- Religious history. - Don't know a thing about sport!

0:37:31 > 0:37:34We don't know anything about religious history so we'll choose that!

0:37:34 > 0:37:36LAUGHTER

0:37:36 > 0:37:38I don't think anybody would ever pick it

0:37:38 > 0:37:42- so I'm sure everybody wants to know what the questions are!- Yes! - So we'll go for it.

0:37:42 > 0:37:44OK, well, maybe somewhere in there there'll be a nice category...

0:37:44 > 0:37:47- There might be.- You never know. - ..that will reward your bravery.

0:37:47 > 0:37:51- Very well done. Religious history, Richard?- Here's your three chances.

0:37:51 > 0:37:53You'll be able to have a crack at a couple of them, I suspect.

0:37:53 > 0:37:57We're looking for any name that's been used by at least one Pope

0:37:57 > 0:37:59in the last 500 years.

0:37:59 > 0:38:01We're looking for the name

0:38:01 > 0:38:03of any Archbishop of York in the last 500 years.

0:38:03 > 0:38:06Or we're looking for the name of any Archbishop of Canterbury

0:38:06 > 0:38:07of the last 500 years.

0:38:07 > 0:38:09So any name used by at least one Pope

0:38:09 > 0:38:12or any Archbishop of York or Archbishop of Canterbury

0:38:12 > 0:38:15in the last 500 years. Very, very best of luck.

0:38:15 > 0:38:17Thank you very much indeed.

0:38:17 > 0:38:21Now, as always, you've got up to one minute, with three answers,

0:38:21 > 0:38:23and to win that jackpot, all you need to find is just

0:38:23 > 0:38:25one pointless answer. Now, do remember,

0:38:25 > 0:38:28answers you give can come from any of those categories.

0:38:28 > 0:38:29It's up to you how you spread them.

0:38:29 > 0:38:32They can all come from the same one or one from each.

0:38:32 > 0:38:36Two from one, one from another. Entirely up to you. Are you ready?

0:38:36 > 0:38:39OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock. There they are.

0:38:39 > 0:38:41Your time starts now.

0:38:41 > 0:38:45- Sixtus. Sixtus for papal names.- Yup.

0:38:45 > 0:38:47Archbishop of York...I don't know.

0:38:47 > 0:38:48John Sen...tano.

0:38:48 > 0:38:52The current one. What's his name? John Sentum...?

0:38:52 > 0:38:54Sent...

0:38:54 > 0:38:58Archbishop of Canterbury, erm...

0:38:58 > 0:39:00There's an Archbishop...

0:39:00 > 0:39:02Fisher?

0:39:02 > 0:39:07I don't know his first name. What was his name? The first name?

0:39:07 > 0:39:10- I think papal names.- Some papal names.- Yeah.

0:39:10 > 0:39:14- Sixtus.- Sixtus. Ignatius?- Ignatius.

0:39:14 > 0:39:16Um...Leo?

0:39:16 > 0:39:19That's a common one, isn't it?

0:39:19 > 0:39:23- Alexandra?- AlexanDER.- Alexander.

0:39:23 > 0:39:26Yeah, that's a common one. Sixtus, Ignatius.

0:39:26 > 0:39:29One other that's not too common.

0:39:29 > 0:39:32- Was there a Sixtus? - Ten seconds left.

0:39:32 > 0:39:36Sixtus. We'll go for that. We'll go for Leo, shall we?

0:39:36 > 0:39:40- Sixtus...- Ignatius. - ..Ignatius and Leo.- OK.

0:39:40 > 0:39:42OK, there we are.

0:39:42 > 0:39:45Your minute is up just as you landed on your three answers.

0:39:45 > 0:39:46What are they going to be?

0:39:46 > 0:39:51- Sixtus.- Sixtus.- Ignatius. - Ignatius.- And Leo.- And Leo.

0:39:51 > 0:39:53And these are all under which category?

0:39:53 > 0:39:57- The first category, papal names. - Papal names, OK, very good.

0:39:57 > 0:40:01So, of those three, which is your most likely to be pointless, do you think?

0:40:01 > 0:40:02- Sixtus.- Sixtus.- Don't you?

0:40:02 > 0:40:05- Which is your least likely? - Leo.- Leo.

0:40:05 > 0:40:08OK, let's put those up on the board in that order, and here they are.

0:40:08 > 0:40:09We have got...

0:40:13 > 0:40:14Well, very, very best of luck.

0:40:14 > 0:40:17Your first answer was Leo, the one you thought was probably

0:40:17 > 0:40:20least likely to be pointless, but, remember, only one of those answers

0:40:20 > 0:40:23needs to be pointless for you to win that jackpot.

0:40:23 > 0:40:27It's £2,250. Quite a nice jackpot. What would you do with that, Steve?

0:40:27 > 0:40:29Well, we'd like to...

0:40:29 > 0:40:33visit some Michelin star restaurants, I think,

0:40:33 > 0:40:36- and some good nights out. - Very nice.- Both like eating.

0:40:36 > 0:40:38Marilyn, anything else you've got your eye on?

0:40:38 > 0:40:41I'll go to another Michelin star restaurant!

0:40:41 > 0:40:44- A different one from Steve?- No, no, no, together!- Oh, I see, right.

0:40:44 > 0:40:46Fair enough.

0:40:46 > 0:40:49OK, well, all of your answers are under the category of papal names

0:40:49 > 0:40:53in the last 500 years. Your first answer, Leo, let's find out.

0:40:53 > 0:40:55It has to be correct, then pointless for you to win the jackpot,

0:40:55 > 0:41:00so for £2,250, let's see how many people said Leo.

0:41:02 > 0:41:05It's right. That was the first thing it had to be.

0:41:05 > 0:41:07The second thing it has to be is pointless.

0:41:07 > 0:41:11If it goes all the way down to zero, you will leave with £2,250.

0:41:11 > 0:41:14It's still going down. Down it goes. Still, down it goes!

0:41:14 > 0:41:16You've done it!

0:41:16 > 0:41:20CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:41:20 > 0:41:23Very well done indeed! That's brilliant.

0:41:24 > 0:41:26Fantastic!

0:41:27 > 0:41:29I can't believe it!

0:41:29 > 0:41:32- Oh, congratulations!- Amazing!

0:41:32 > 0:41:36- And you thought that was your LEAST likely to be pointless.- Yes! - Well, there we are!

0:41:36 > 0:41:40It was a pointless answer, which means you will be leaving here with £2,250.

0:41:40 > 0:41:43Very well done indeed.

0:41:43 > 0:41:47- How about that! That was good, wasn't it?- Yeah.- Leo's a great answer.

0:41:47 > 0:41:50Ignatius would've been an incorrect answer. I know they're saying...

0:41:50 > 0:41:54Pope Francis, they thought maybe he was going to take the name Ignatius.

0:41:54 > 0:41:55He didn't in the end.

0:41:55 > 0:41:56Sixtus...

0:41:58 > 0:42:01423 years ago there was a Pope Sixtus

0:42:01 > 0:42:04and it's a pointless answer as well. Very well played.

0:42:04 > 0:42:08CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:42:11 > 0:42:14Let's take a look at some of the other papal names that would've been pointless answers.

0:42:16 > 0:42:19You could also have had Clement, Julius or Marcellus.

0:42:19 > 0:42:21So very well done if you said any of those.

0:42:26 > 0:42:29Michael Ramsey, who went on to be Archbishop of Canterbury,

0:42:29 > 0:42:31would've scored you points in that category, though.

0:42:38 > 0:42:41Geoffrey Fisher, one of the more recent ones.

0:42:41 > 0:42:46All pointless. Well done if you said that at home and congratulations in the studio. That's great.

0:42:46 > 0:42:48Thanks very much indeed, Richard.

0:42:48 > 0:42:51Well, thanks once again to our winning players, Marilyn and Steve,

0:42:51 > 0:42:55who go away with today's jackpot of £2,250. Very well done indeed!

0:42:55 > 0:42:57CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:42:57 > 0:43:01Join us next time, when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.

0:43:01 > 0:43:05- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.- And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
