0:00:16 > 0:00:20APPLAUSE
0:00:20 > 0:00:23Thank you. I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:23 > 0:00:26the show that makes big winners out of the lowest scorers.
0:00:26 > 0:00:29- Let's meet today's players. - APPLAUSE
0:00:32 > 0:00:36- Couple number one.- Hi, I'm Jim. This is my friend Patrick.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39Patrick lives near Lancaster, in the Lune Valley,
0:00:39 > 0:00:42and I live near to Preston, in the Ribble Valley.
0:00:42 > 0:00:46- Couple number two.- Hi, I'm Simone and this is my friend Danny
0:00:46 > 0:00:48and we're both from North West London.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52- Couple number three.- Hi. My name's Jacky. I'm from New Waltham.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54This is my mum Lynn, from Cleethorpes.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57- And finally, couple number four. - Hello. I'm Toby.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00This is my housemate Sam and we're both from Middlesex University.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03- And these are today's contestants. - APPLAUSE
0:01:03 > 0:01:04Thanks very much.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07We'll find out more about each of you throughout the show.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10That leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13A rugged leading man staging a daring prison
0:01:13 > 0:01:17- break from inside our collective ignorance. It's my Pointless friend, Richard.- Hiya.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21APPLAUSE Hi, everybody. Afternoon.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24- Good afternoon to you. - And to you.- How are you?
0:01:24 > 0:01:26I'm very well, thank you.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30Sometimes I set you a little puzzle when we've first met our contestants.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34People who've got an unusual hobby or job.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38- I'll tell you what it is and you have to guess who they are.- OK.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41Two of our contestants are Scout leaders.
0:01:41 > 0:01:42LAUGHTER
0:01:42 > 0:01:46I won't say who. Just using your skill and cunning, as you go along.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48I'll try and work it out.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51We've got two returning pairs. Neither of them saw the head-to-head.
0:01:51 > 0:01:56Lynn and Jacky got knocked out in the first round, and Jim and Pat, who we saw through to the second round.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00Would be great to see one of those pairs through to the head-to-head today.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Should be a cracker. Two really lovely first rounds. Very different.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05- Both fun.- Thanks, Richard.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09Every question on Pointless has been put to 100 people before the show.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12As ever, the aim of this game is to find a pointless answer that
0:02:12 > 0:02:14none of those people gave.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Matt and Sam didn't win our jackpot,
0:02:19 > 0:02:25so we add another £1,000 to that. Today's jackpot starts off at:
0:02:25 > 0:02:27APPLAUSE
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34APPLAUSE
0:02:34 > 0:02:37Remember, the pair with the highest score at the end of each
0:02:37 > 0:02:38round will be eliminated.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Do what you can to make sure it's not you.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Our first category today is:
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Languages.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Can you all decide in your pairs who's going first and second?
0:02:49 > 0:02:53And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58And the question concerns:
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Oh, good! Animals in Italian. Richard.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08That means you're going to be doing some pronouncing, which is going to be a lot of fun.
0:03:08 > 0:03:12We're going to give you the names of seven animals in Italian on each pass.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15We need you to tell us their names in English, please.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19- 14 Italian animals to translate at home. Best of luck.- OK.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23So we want the English translations of these Italian animals.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36I'll read those again.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46- There we go. Jim, welcome back. - Thank you.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50You didn't say anything last time about Scouting, did you?
0:03:50 > 0:03:53- I did not!- OK. Phew. Oh, it's good.- Yeah, wasn't Jim.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57Feels like a detective thing. I should be pacing in a library.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01- Now, what are your hobbies, Jim? - Italian, animals...
0:04:01 > 0:04:04LAUGHTER
0:04:06 > 0:04:10Unfortunately, I do play in a quiz with Patrick,
0:04:10 > 0:04:13but we don't play any Italian quizzes.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17Jim, what about these words? Do you understand any of them?
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Oh, absolutely...not.
0:04:19 > 0:04:24But I'll take a punt at il pesce. Fish?
0:04:24 > 0:04:28OK. Il pesce, fish. Let's see if that's right
0:04:28 > 0:04:32and if it is, let's see how many people said fish.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35- Absolutely right.- Oh, my!
0:04:35 > 0:04:38- 61. Not bad, Jim. - APPLAUSE
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Not bad at all.
0:04:42 > 0:04:48- Well played. Il pesce. - Thank you, Richard. Now, Simone.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52Welcome to the show. From North West London. Nice get-up, by the way.
0:04:52 > 0:04:53What do you do?
0:04:53 > 0:04:57Um, I think I have a hobby as a Scout leader.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00I think I might have found our suspects, Richard.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03Tell me more. How long have you done this for?
0:05:03 > 0:05:07I've been in Scouting for about four years.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11I'm an Assistant Scout Leader and I'm a Cub Leader as well.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14Good stuff. Now, what about these animals in Italian?
0:05:14 > 0:05:18I wish I'd let Danny go first cos he is Italian.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21LAUGHTER
0:05:21 > 0:05:25Hang on. They'll still be Italian on the way back down.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28- You'll be fine.- OK.
0:05:28 > 0:05:33I'm going to go for l'orso and I'm going to put horse.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35OK.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38L'orso, horse. Let's see if that's right
0:05:38 > 0:05:41and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said horse.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49- Ouch.- Oh, I'm afraid not so much a horse.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52- That scores you 100 points, Simone. I'm sorry.- Sorry, Simone.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55You won't be the only person making that mistake.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58- I'll give you the correct answer at the end of the pass.- Thanks.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02- Lynn, welcome back. Lynn, we barely saw you last time.- Very little.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06You had a short mayfly-like career on Pointless.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10Let's hope we see lots more of you this time. You're from Cleethorpes.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14Remind us what you like getting up to.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18Bowling. Outdoor green bowling. Darts. I did play for 32 years.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21- This is where Jacky gets her dartsmanship from.- Yes.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24She got commandeered into the team 20-something years ago.
0:06:24 > 0:06:29- Countryman as well. - Yes.- On the same team?- Yes.
0:06:29 > 0:06:30How many on your team?
0:06:30 > 0:06:33- Six. A minimum of six.- OK, right.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37Now then, Lynn. How are we feeling about this board of animals?
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Not good.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43But I'm going to have a go at il delfino and say dolphin.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46Stands to reason, doesn't it? Il delfino.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Let's see if that's right.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51If it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said dolphin.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57It's entirely right. 61 is our low score and you pass it.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Very well done. Still going down. Look at that! 26.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03- APPLAUSE - That's a great score, Lynn.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07- I hope that sees you into round two. It looks like it might.- Well played.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10You can identify dolphins through their dorsal fins.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13They're all different, like fingerprints.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17Thank you. Now, Toby. Welcome to the show. You are a student.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21- What are you studying? - Theatre arts.- How's that going?
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Really well, yeah.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Sounds like it covers a pretty broad spectrum of things.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29Yeah, it's a course that offers it all.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33I do design, a bit of directing, I do obviously the acting,
0:07:33 > 0:07:35and in third year, there's a possibility of doing
0:07:35 > 0:07:38a stand-up comedy module as well.
0:07:38 > 0:07:39Good stuff.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43Now, this is entirely your board, Toby. Do you fancy...?
0:07:43 > 0:07:47Just go through them and see if anything springs to mind.
0:07:47 > 0:07:53Well, there's il rinoceronte, that's...standing out.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56- LAUGHTER - I was going to say dolphin.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58I was going to say fish.
0:07:58 > 0:08:03I'm going to have to go with il rinoc... Il rin... Yeah. That one.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07- The one at the bottom? Yeah. What do you think it might be?- Rhinoceros.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Rhinoceros. You think?
0:08:09 > 0:08:12- I hope so.- Let's see if it is. Il rinoceronte.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Let's see if that is a rhinoceros.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17And if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21- It's right, of course.- Yes!
0:08:21 > 0:08:2472. Well, it's not our highest score.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27- APPLAUSE - 72 for rhinoceros.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29You had to do it, really, I think.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33An adult rhinoceros can produce up to 50 pounds of dung every day.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35How about that?
0:08:35 > 0:08:38It's interesting how close the Italian word for rhinoceros
0:08:38 > 0:08:41is to the Italian word for restaurant.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45- Yeah!- I wonder if they ever get mixed up. You could do some stand-up about
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Italians getting rhinoceroses mixed up with restaurants.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52- I'll write it down when I go off. - No, cos we own it, but...
0:08:52 > 0:08:57LAUGHTER That's the sort of thing you could do. It'd be hilarious.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00Let's clear up l'orso. It should be horse, shouldn't it?
0:09:00 > 0:09:03It's bear, as in ursine and what have you.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Would have scored you 14 points.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08Il maiale, up the top, is a pig.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11- Ah.- Would have scored you six. Il gatto.- A cat.
0:09:11 > 0:09:12It's a cat.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16Quite often, Italian goalkeepers are called il gatto, the cat.
0:09:16 > 0:09:1932 points for that. And la scimmia?
0:09:19 > 0:09:24- It's a monkey.- Is that where we get...when you shimmy up a tree?
0:09:24 > 0:09:27- That must be where it comes from. - No.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29- It must be.- No.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31- That comes from something else. - From what?
0:09:31 > 0:09:34It comes from the sound of canvas on bark.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37When you shimmy up... It must be from that.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40- But monkeys don't shimmy up things. They swing.- They're always...
0:09:40 > 0:09:44- They're shimmying.- A monkey doesn't shimmy up a tree. Have you seen them?
0:09:44 > 0:09:47Yes, countless times.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50- No, you haven't.- In fact, I've seen it so many times, I'm bored of it! - LAUGHTER
0:09:50 > 0:09:55- If I see one more monkey shimmying up a tree, I will...throw up. - Name one actual time you've seen it.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59- Yesterday in Monkey World. - LAUGHTER
0:09:59 > 0:10:02Monkey World sounds like my favourite place in the whole world.
0:10:02 > 0:10:07- It's a cracking place. If you like the sound of canvas on bark... - RICHARD LAUGHS
0:10:07 > 0:10:09- Which I do!- I can tell you now... Great place.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12Thanks. We're halfway through the round.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15The best score of that pass, Lynn.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19All thoughts of your early exit last time are banished.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22You and Jacky looking very strong at this point, on 26.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25Then we go up to 61, where we find Jim and Pat.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Maybe it's enough to see you through, too. I hope so.
0:10:27 > 0:10:32Then up to 71, Toby and Sam. Then it's up to 100 for our Scouts.
0:10:32 > 0:10:37Luckily, Danny, I think you hold a trump card here, but who knows?
0:10:37 > 0:10:41Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:10:46 > 0:10:49OK, we're going to put seven more Italian animals on the board
0:10:49 > 0:10:50and here they come:
0:11:02 > 0:11:05I'll read those all one last time.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17There we are. Remember, we're looking for the English translations of these
0:11:17 > 0:11:22Italian animals. Sam, I see you digesting that board there.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25It's at times like this, I wish I spoke Italian.
0:11:25 > 0:11:26Yes, I can understand that.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29Mind you, there are a few clues on there, Sam.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32- There's a few sound-alikes.- Exactly.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36Before you go into the sound-alikes, tell me what you do.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39- I study theatre as well at the same place.- Theatre studies.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Which has been your favourite discipline so far?
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Solo performance.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47OK, so you might well be signing up for that stand-up.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49I definitely will be, yeah.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53Good stuff. What are these Italian animals in English?
0:11:53 > 0:11:57I think I'm going to go for il cammello.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00And I'm going to go for camel.
0:12:00 > 0:12:05You're on 72, the high scorers are Danny and Simone on 100.
0:12:05 > 0:12:0827 or less sees you through. There's your red line.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10Let's see if that is camel
0:12:10 > 0:12:12and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21- 67 for camel. - APPLAUSE
0:12:21 > 0:12:24Takes your total up to 139.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27A pretty big score. Right answer, though.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31If I was doing a solo performance piece, I'd do one
0:12:31 > 0:12:35- about an Italian man going on a blind date inside an intimate rhinoceros. - That'd be nice.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39- Nice little candlelit evening inside a rhinoceros.- Exactly that.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Now, Jacky.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44This time last show, you had a bit of a challenge,
0:12:44 > 0:12:47you had a mountain to climb.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50- I think this time round... - I'm going to play it safe.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53I suppose you can because you are through to round two, even if
0:12:53 > 0:12:56- you score 100. This is good news.- Mm, yes.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00- Hopefully.- Have you identified your safe option on the board?
0:13:00 > 0:13:01Yes, I have.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05- Thankfully, it's still there.- Good. What are you going to say?
0:13:05 > 0:13:08I'm going to go with the top one, il leone, lion.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11OK, lion. No red line, you're already through,
0:13:11 > 0:13:14but let's see how many of our 100 people said lion.
0:13:16 > 0:13:17It's right.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23- 54. - APPLAUSE
0:13:23 > 0:13:28- 54, takes your total up to 80. Very well done.- Fairly safe stuff so far.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32They sleep for up to 20 hours a day, lions. That'd be nice, wouldn't it?
0:13:32 > 0:13:35They should do more. King of the jungle?
0:13:35 > 0:13:39- They don't want to keep that up. - They don't have to do anything. They are the kings of the jungle.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42- They're going to be usurped pretty soon.- You think? By who?
0:13:42 > 0:13:47- By someone who maybe sleeps a bit less.- Like a penguin?
0:13:47 > 0:13:49- There's a film idea.- Yeah, there is.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Penguins v Lions.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55Yeah. Thank you very much. Now, OK. So, Danny, we come to you.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57This, I believe, is your moment.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00The high scorers are Sam and Toby on 139.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04You only have to score 38 or less and you're in.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07That'd be embarrassing. Imagine if you got it wrong, Danny!
0:14:07 > 0:14:09It would, wouldn't it?
0:14:09 > 0:14:14- So, Danny, please tell me you're also a Scoutmaster.- Um...yeah!- Phew.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16And how long have you done that for?
0:14:16 > 0:14:19I've been helping out on and off for about 10-15 years.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23I've only been an official leader for about two-and-a-half years.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26How many badges are you as a leader entitled to?
0:14:26 > 0:14:30- Unfortunately, only this. - That is disappointing.- I know.
0:14:30 > 0:14:31That is disappointing.
0:14:31 > 0:14:36Danny, you're on 100. You know exactly what you have to do.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40But maybe, being Italian, you might be at a disadvantage.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43You might not be able to spot which one will be the most
0:14:43 > 0:14:46difficult one on that board. They're all easy to you.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49- There's one I don't know on there. - That's awkward.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53Yeah! I think it's probably the lowest answer.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57I'm going to have to go for la pecora and say sheep.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01- Sheep.- Sheep. - Course. Hence the cheese.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04You just have to be a cheese lover to know that one.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07There is your red line. You have to get below that with sheep.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10Let's see if that's right for la pecora.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13It's right.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18And you're through. Very well done.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21- Wow! Look at that! Three! - APPLAUSE
0:15:21 > 0:15:25Danny, great answer. Takes your total up to 103.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27- You're in round two. - Well played, Danny.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31As you say, pecorino cheese, we get from ewe's milk.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34Danny, how is Xander's pronunciation? Has he been good?
0:15:34 > 0:15:36- Could improve. - LAUGHTER
0:15:36 > 0:15:40- There is room for improvement. - He's lucky to be in the next round.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44I honestly wouldn't have asked the question if I thought that was going to be the answer.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47I know. I don't care. I just don't care.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51- I'm having fun. That's... - That's the main thing.- Yeah.
0:15:51 > 0:15:56Brilliant. Thank you very much. Now, Pat. Oh, Pat!
0:15:56 > 0:15:58Listen, it's good, cos you're on 61.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01The highest scorers are Sam and Toby, 139.
0:16:01 > 0:16:0577 or less sees you stroll into the next round.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08- So, Pat, a very warm welcome. - Thank you.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12We discovered last time that you and your wife met Jim quizzing.
0:16:12 > 0:16:13This is true.
0:16:13 > 0:16:18And Jim was sitting on his own, but you thought, he looks fun, ask him...
0:16:18 > 0:16:21Or maybe, he looks like he knows some of the answers we don't know.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23And he was wrong.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25LAUGHTER
0:16:25 > 0:16:31- Other than quizzing, what are your hobbies?- I'm in the PROBUS club.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34- The PROBUS club?- It's a professional business club for retired people.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37- Oh, right. - They're all over the country.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40- And you just get together... - You will qualify in time.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42I know nothing about business. That's my trouble.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45I know nothing about pretty much everything, in fact.
0:16:45 > 0:16:51- Pat, look at this board.- Yes.- Talks us through the board, if you can.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54Is il cavallo horse?
0:16:54 > 0:16:56The bottom one's the kangaroo.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59But I'm not sure of lo struzzo.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02I think we'll play safe and go for il lupo, wolf.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06OK, you're going to say il lupo, wolf. There is your red line.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09Nice and high. Get below that, you're in round two.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12Let's see how many of our 100 people said wolf.
0:17:14 > 0:17:15It's right.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18And you are through. Very well done indeed.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21- Good work. Still going down. 37. - APPLAUSE
0:17:21 > 0:17:24So, 98 is your total, Pat. Well done.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26Well played, Pat.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29You took us through the other ones very nicely as well, actually.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32Il cavallo, absolutely right. Would have scored you 18. Horse.
0:17:32 > 0:17:36Il canguro is kangaroo. Would have scored 39.
0:17:36 > 0:17:41- Now, Danny, is the other one... Is this the one you don't know? - That's the one I don't know.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44Only as I said it, the second time... Lo struzzo, ostrich.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47- Is the correct answer. - Is it really?- Yeah! It is!
0:17:47 > 0:17:49- Get it.- Five points. APPLAUSE
0:17:49 > 0:17:51There we are.
0:17:51 > 0:17:55- I can't believe five of our 100 knew it as well.- Yeah.- Very impressive.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57They must have said it out loud as well.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59I guess. Thanks very much indeed.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02At the end of our first round, the pair heading home, sorry,
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Sam and Toby.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06We haven't had nearly enough out of you.
0:18:06 > 0:18:10We'll have to see much more of you next time. Thanks for playing.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14- Sorry to be saying goodbye so soon. - APPLAUSE
0:18:14 > 0:18:17But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for round two.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19APPLAUSE
0:18:21 > 0:18:23So, obviously, we're now down to three pairs
0:18:23 > 0:18:26and at the end of this round, we will be down to two pairs.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30Danny, best score of that last round, but so it should have been.
0:18:30 > 0:18:35- Yup! - The headline is of course Lynn and Jacky, our low scorers of the round.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37Well done.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Jim and Pat, you made it through. Well done.
0:18:39 > 0:18:44Good work on that board, Pat. You did very well, tidying up.
0:18:44 > 0:18:49Best of luck to all three pairs. Our category for round two:
0:18:49 > 0:18:53Powerful people. Can you decide who's going first and second?
0:18:53 > 0:18:57And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:19:02 > 0:19:07We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many of:
0:19:09 > 0:19:12Forbes Most Powerful People 2013. Richard.
0:19:12 > 0:19:17Every year, Forbes magazine produces a list of the most powerful people in the world.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20We're looking for anyone who was on that list in 2013, please.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Heads of state, politicians, financiers, entrepreneurs.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24All that sort of thing.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26There are 74 names on the list.
0:19:26 > 0:19:31- The 74 most powerful people in the world in 2013.- Thank you.
0:19:31 > 0:19:36The 74 most powerful people in the world last year.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Jim, what do you reckon?
0:19:38 > 0:19:41It's a bit of a concern, this one.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43I'll go for Richard Branson.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46Richard Branson, says Jim.
0:19:46 > 0:19:50Let's see how many of our 100 people said Richard Branson. Is that right?
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Ooh.
0:19:54 > 0:19:59I'm afraid not. An incorrect answer. Scores you 100 points, Jim.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01No, doesn't wield the power you imagine,
0:20:01 > 0:20:04though anybody who regularly travels up to Manchester on the train
0:20:04 > 0:20:06might think otherwise.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:20:08 > 0:20:13Now, Danny, who are the 74 most powerful people in 2013,
0:20:13 > 0:20:15according to Forbes?
0:20:15 > 0:20:18I've got a couple of answers. One I think is a bit more obvious.
0:20:18 > 0:20:23I've got a bit of a chance, so I'm going to say Mark Carney.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25- Governor of Bank of England. - Mark Carney, says Danny.
0:20:25 > 0:20:26Let's see if that's right,
0:20:26 > 0:20:29and if it is, let's see how many people said Mark Carney.
0:20:33 > 0:20:34Oh, no!
0:20:35 > 0:20:37I think that's a brilliant answer,
0:20:37 > 0:20:40but I'm afraid it's an incorrect one. That scores you 100 points.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42You're in very, very good company, though.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Yes, another very good answer and would certainly be amongst
0:20:44 > 0:20:49the 74 most powerful people in the UK, but not in the world, I'm afraid.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51Thanks very much.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53- Lynn.- Yes.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56Powerful people, 2013.
0:20:56 > 0:21:01I'm going to go for my easier option and say Simon Cowell.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04- Let's find out. Simon Cowell? - Yeah.- Is that right?
0:21:04 > 0:21:06And if it is, how many people said it?
0:21:08 > 0:21:10No.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13I'm afraid, an incorrect answer. Well, we've a level playing field.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15Everyone is on 100 points, so there we are.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18- We've all learned three things, haven't we?- We have, indeed, yeah.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20He is a certain sort of power, Simon Cowell,
0:21:20 > 0:21:23but probably not the sort of power we're looking for on this list.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25Well, we are halfway through the round.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Let's take a look at those scores as the stand.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29There's just the one score between all of them.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33Lynn and Jacky, Danny and Simone, Jim and Pat, you're all on 100,
0:21:33 > 0:21:35so I'm way to say this round is probably going to
0:21:35 > 0:21:37be between Jacky, Simone and Pat.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39Yes, best of luck to all three pairs.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41We are going to come back down the line now.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:21:45 > 0:21:48OK, Jacky, remember, we are looking for the name of anyone
0:21:48 > 0:21:53listed in Forbes most powerful people, 2013.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55I've got two answers.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59I'm not quite sure on the pronunciation of the surname of one of them.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02So I'll go with the other one, which is Barack Obama.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06OK, Barack Obama. Sounds good to me.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08No red line, as you're joint high scorers,
0:22:08 > 0:22:11but let's see how many of our 100 people said Barack Obama.
0:22:14 > 0:22:15It is right, look at that.
0:22:16 > 0:22:1856.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23156, your total, Jacky.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26Yeah, it would've been a bad year for the presidency if he wasn't one
0:22:26 > 0:22:29- of the 74 most powerful people in the world, wouldn't it?- Yeah.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31Thanks very much, Richard.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33Now, Simone.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36- I think I'm going to have to play it safe, as well.- Well, not too safe.
0:22:36 > 0:22:41You've got to remain under 156, so 55 or less.
0:22:41 > 0:22:42OK.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Shall I risk it?
0:22:45 > 0:22:48Let's say Ban Ki-moon.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Ban Ki-moon, says Simone. Let's see if that's right.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Let's see how many of our 100 people said it. There is your red line.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58It's great, very well done, indeed.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01I think this deserves to go quite far down the board.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05And it does, five for Ban Ki-moon. Well done.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07APPLAUSE
0:23:07 > 0:23:10- 105, your total. - Well played, Simone.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13The Secretary-General of the United Nations.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16- 32nd most powerful person in the world.- Thank you, Richard.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18By the way, Barack Obama was the
0:23:18 > 0:23:20second most powerful person in the world.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23We'll find out who the most powerful person in the world is
0:23:23 > 0:23:25at the end of the round.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Interesting. Pat.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30Now then. 156 is the high score, you're on 100.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33- So 55 or less.- Mmm.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37Can't think of his Christian name, that's the problem,
0:23:37 > 0:23:38the one I want, but...
0:23:41 > 0:23:44I'll go with Hillary Clinton.
0:23:44 > 0:23:48Hillary Clinton, says Pat.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50OK, there is your red line. Let's see if that's right,
0:23:50 > 0:23:53and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Hillary Clinton.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58No.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03Oh, bad luck, Pat. I thought that was a very clever answer, there.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06And I'm afraid that scores the 100 points, takes your total up to 200.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08So we're out.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Yeah, I'm very surprised. No Hillary Clinton on that list.
0:24:10 > 0:24:14Bill Clinton was on that list. Would have scored you one point.
0:24:14 > 0:24:15Would have been a terrific answer.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18I'll take you through some of the other one pointers
0:24:18 > 0:24:20before we look at the pointless ones.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22One point for Sepp Blatter, unbelievably.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24One point for Sergey Brin, from Google.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27You'd have got one point for Bill Clinton, one for Barry Page,
0:24:27 > 0:24:30one for Kim Jong Un. He'd have score to you one point.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33You would have got one point for Margaret Chan,
0:24:33 > 0:24:36Michael Bloomberg, Lakshmi Mittal
0:24:36 > 0:24:38and Carlos Slim, the Mexican billionaire,
0:24:38 > 0:24:40telecommunications billionaire.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42Let's take a look at some of the pointless answers,
0:24:42 > 0:24:43the ones that nobody said.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Well done if you said one of these.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48Alisher Usmanov, another billionaire, he's on the board of Arsenal
0:24:48 > 0:24:49as well, but that's not his main power.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52Ben Bernanke from the Federal Reserve in the US.
0:24:52 > 0:24:56The president of Brazil, Dilma Rousseff, she was a pointless answer.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59Dmitry Medvedev, the Prime Minister of Russia.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Jeff Bezos, the CEO of Amazon.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05John Boehner, the speaker at the US House of Representatives,
0:25:05 > 0:25:06King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia -
0:25:06 > 0:25:10he's the king of Saudi Arabia, Manmohan Singh, the Prime Minister
0:25:10 > 0:25:13of India and Sonia Gandhi, who's the head of the Indian national congress.
0:25:13 > 0:25:14All of those pointless answers.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18Who do you think the most powerful person in the world was last year?
0:25:21 > 0:25:22- Vladimir Putin.- Really?- Yep.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24Let's take a look at the top three answers -
0:25:24 > 0:25:26the ones who most of our 100 people said,
0:25:26 > 0:25:28not the most powerful people in the world.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32David Cameron is the 11th most powerful person in the world.
0:25:32 > 0:25:33How about that?
0:25:39 > 0:25:40Thank you very much indeed.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43OK, at the end of our second round, the pair heading home,
0:25:43 > 0:25:46I'm really sorry, it's Pat and Jim.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48I had high hopes for you in this,
0:25:48 > 0:25:49but I'm afraid we have to say goodbye.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52It's been great having you on both shows, thanks so much for playing.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54- Pat and Jim.- Thank you. Good luck.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56APPLAUSE
0:25:56 > 0:25:59But, for the two remaining pairs, it is now time for the head-to-head.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Congratulations, Danny and Simone, Lynn and Jacky,
0:26:07 > 0:26:09you are one step closer to the final
0:26:09 > 0:26:13and the chance to play for our jackpot which currently stands at...
0:26:13 > 0:26:15APPLAUSE
0:26:15 > 0:26:18So this is the point where we decide who gets to play for that money
0:26:18 > 0:26:20and to do that, you're going head-to-head,
0:26:20 > 0:26:24the difference being you're now allowed to chat before you give your answers.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27The first player to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29Danny and Simone, congratulations,
0:26:29 > 0:26:33our lowest score of the show so far came from you, Danny.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Lynn and Jacky, congratulations, too.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37It was round one last time, head-to-head this time.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40That's got to feel a lot better. This is going to be very exciting.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44APPLAUSE
0:26:48 > 0:26:51OK, here comes your first question and it concerns...
0:26:54 > 0:26:56Types of bridge, Richard.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58We're going to see five pictures of different types of bridge.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01We need you to tell us what type of bridge they are.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03We've given you a clue underneath as well.
0:27:03 > 0:27:04Very best of luck.
0:27:04 > 0:27:05OK. Thanks very much.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08Let's review of five types of bridge and here they come.
0:27:35 > 0:27:39There we are. Five types of bridge.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41Danny and Simone, you've played best throughout the show
0:27:41 > 0:27:43so far so you will go first.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45THEY WHISPER
0:27:54 > 0:27:56We know all of them apart from one,
0:27:56 > 0:28:00so we're going to go for B, which is a pontoon.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03OK, B, pontoon.
0:28:03 > 0:28:07B, pontoon. Now, Lynn and Jacky, the rest of the board is yours.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09Do you fancy talking us through it?
0:28:09 > 0:28:10Erm...
0:28:10 > 0:28:13- Well, A, suspension bridge.- Yeah.
0:28:13 > 0:28:19- C, I'm not sure, I think D probably is a cantilever...- Maybe.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22- ..and E is a tilt. - Shall we go with E?
0:28:22 > 0:28:25Do you think E will be lower than cantilever?
0:28:25 > 0:28:26Yeah.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28OK, then.
0:28:28 > 0:28:34- We'll going with E then, please, tilt.- E, tilt. So...
0:28:34 > 0:28:37We have pontoon and we have tilt.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39Now, then, Danny and Simone, you went with pontoon for B.
0:28:39 > 0:28:40Let's see if that's right
0:28:40 > 0:28:43and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said pontoon.
0:28:45 > 0:28:46It's right.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53Very well done, 25. Good score.
0:28:53 > 0:28:55APPLAUSE
0:28:57 > 0:29:02Lynn and Jacky have said that E is a tilt bridge.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04Let's see if it is and if it is, let's see
0:29:04 > 0:29:05how many of our 100 people said it.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10It is right.
0:29:10 > 0:29:1325 is what you've got to beat. It's going to be close...
0:29:13 > 0:29:16Well done, you've done it. 19 for tilt.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19Very good answer.
0:29:19 > 0:29:23Lynn and Jacky, after one question, you're up 1-0.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26Well played, that's the Gateshead Millennium Bridge, there.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37Now, these are often found in Devon, on the moors in Devon
0:29:37 > 0:29:40and it's a clapper bridge. That's Postbridge Clapper Bridge there.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49Actually, it's a slightly better score than tilt bridge,
0:29:49 > 0:29:52would have scored 14 points. That's the Forth Rail Bridge there.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55Thanks very much indeed, Richard. OK, here comes your second question.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58Danny and Simone, you have to win this one to stay in the game.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00Best of luck. It concerns...
0:30:02 > 0:30:07- John F Kennedy, Richard.- Five clues now to facts about John F Kennedy.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09- Can you give us the most obscure answer?- Thanks very much.
0:30:09 > 0:30:13OK, let's reveal our five clues and here they come.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32I'll read those all one last time.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53There we are. Five clues to facts about JFK.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56Lynn and Jacky, you will go first.
0:30:56 > 0:30:57I know two.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01I don't really know, Jacky.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04The initial, I think we should go for that one.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06Yeah, if you know that, we'll get that.
0:31:06 > 0:31:11Yeah, we'll go for his middle initial, which is Fitzpatrick.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14Fitzpatrick, say Lynn and Jacky. Fitzpatrick.
0:31:14 > 0:31:19Now, Danny and Simone, do you want to talk us through that board?
0:31:19 > 0:31:20No.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23We're struggling a bit on this. Erm...
0:31:26 > 0:31:29The one we'll go for is the first name
0:31:29 > 0:31:32of the woman he married, which is Jacqueline.
0:31:32 > 0:31:36OK, Jacqueline, say Danny and Simone.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39So Lynn and Jacky said Fitzpatrick was the F of his middle initial.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48No, I'm afraid not Fitzpatrick.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51Danny and Simone, you merely have to be correct with Jacqueline,
0:31:51 > 0:31:55the name of the woman he married in 1953 and you will win the point.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01And it's right, very well done. That evens it up again.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05After two questions, it's 1-1.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09It's John Fitzgerald Kennedy.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11Fitzgerald.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13It would have scored you 40 points,
0:32:13 > 0:32:15so it would have seen you through to the Jackpot Round.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22Let's go to the bottom first...
0:32:28 > 0:32:30This is the best answer on the board.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35It was a pointless answer, well done if you said that.
0:32:35 > 0:32:36It won the Pulitzer Prize,
0:32:36 > 0:32:39but he is widely believed not to have written it himself.
0:32:39 > 0:32:40Theodore Sorensen they think wrote it,
0:32:40 > 0:32:42he was one of his advisers and friends.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46Here comes your third and final question.
0:32:46 > 0:32:48Whoever wins this goes through to the final
0:32:48 > 0:32:49and plays for that jackpot.
0:32:49 > 0:32:51Best of luck. It concerns...
0:32:54 > 0:32:57Movies with addresses in their titles, Richard.
0:32:57 > 0:32:59We're going to show you five names of films now which
0:32:59 > 0:33:02have addresses in the title. We've missed one word out of each title.
0:33:02 > 0:33:04Can you give us the most obscure answer, please?
0:33:04 > 0:33:08Whoever does is going through to play for the jackpot.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11OK. Let's reveal our five movies and here they are.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25I'll read those all one last time.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38Danny and Simone will go first.
0:33:38 > 0:33:39Boulevard, yeah.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41THEY WHISPER
0:33:46 > 0:33:48- All up to you.- No, it's up to you.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52We're going to go for Madison Avenue.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55Madison Avenue, say Danny and Simone. Madison Avenue.
0:33:55 > 0:33:59Lynn and Jacky, the rest of the board is yours.
0:33:59 > 0:34:00Well...
0:34:00 > 0:34:04We think it's Sunset Boulevard, quite obvious.
0:34:04 > 0:34:05Possibly not though, eh?
0:34:05 > 0:34:10I'm sure Arlingtons is a cemetery for soldiers.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12Are we going to go with that one?
0:34:12 > 0:34:14We'll go Arlington Cemetery, shall we?
0:34:14 > 0:34:16OK. Arlington Cemetery, say Lynn and Jacky.
0:34:16 > 0:34:20So we have Madison Avenue and Arlington Cemetery.
0:34:20 > 0:34:22Danny and Simone, Madison Avenue, let's see if that's right
0:34:22 > 0:34:25and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:34:27 > 0:34:28It's right.
0:34:32 > 0:34:3346.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35APPLAUSE
0:34:35 > 0:34:3746 for Madison Avenue.
0:34:37 > 0:34:41Now then, Lynn and Jacky have gone for Arlington Cemetery.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:34:47 > 0:34:51No, I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer there, Lynn and Jacky.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53Which means, well done, Danny and Simone.
0:34:53 > 0:34:56After three questions, you are through to the final, 2-1.
0:34:56 > 0:34:58APPLAUSE
0:35:01 > 0:35:04Not strictly speaking an address, Arlington Cemetery,
0:35:04 > 0:35:06it's Arlington Road, was the answer there.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08Would have seen you through to the final as well.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10Tim Robbins film. Terrific film.
0:35:10 > 0:35:11You're right about Sunset Boulevard,
0:35:11 > 0:35:13would have scored too many points, though.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21Paradise Alley, Sylvester Stallone's first directoral film, also wrote it.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30The pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:35:30 > 0:35:32I'm afraid it's Lynn and Jacky.
0:35:32 > 0:35:35Oh, that was tough, wasn't it, that last board?
0:35:35 > 0:35:37But you've done so much better than you did last time.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39You got so close to the final,
0:35:39 > 0:35:41but I'm afraid we do have to say goodbye, Lynn and Jacky,
0:35:41 > 0:35:44it's been great having you on the show. Thanks so much for playing.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47APPLAUSE
0:35:47 > 0:35:50But for Danny and Simone, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57Well, congratulations, Danny and Simone, you've seen off
0:35:57 > 0:36:00all the competition and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07You now have the chance to win our Pointless Jackpot
0:36:07 > 0:36:11and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at...
0:36:11 > 0:36:13APPLAUSE
0:36:15 > 0:36:16Well, what a show.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18It's a shame you don't get any badges,
0:36:18 > 0:36:20- because you could have got a Pointless badge.- Aww.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23- Maybe we could make a special allowance.- One for our arm.
0:36:23 > 0:36:24Yeah, exactly.
0:36:24 > 0:36:27But you get a Pointless trophy. I mean, I guess that will do.
0:36:27 > 0:36:29OK, as ever, you get to choose your category
0:36:29 > 0:36:32and here are your four options. They are...
0:36:41 > 0:36:43Young Achievers? UK Politics?
0:36:43 > 0:36:46Would you be good at Chick-Lit? don't ask me about that,
0:36:46 > 0:36:47you're on your own there.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49Let's go for Young Achievers,
0:36:49 > 0:36:52- then we could both have a go at that.- Or UK Politics.
0:36:52 > 0:36:54Hmm...
0:36:54 > 0:36:55That's fine.
0:36:55 > 0:36:57- Young Achievers.- OK.
0:36:57 > 0:36:58Young Achievers.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01It's very appropriate for Scout leaders, Young Achievers.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03- OK, Richard.- Three very different options here,
0:37:03 > 0:37:06so I hope at least one of these suits you.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08We are looking for the name of...
0:37:11 > 0:37:14That's in the Open era from 1968 all the way through to 2013.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26So any author who won the Booker Prize from its inception
0:37:26 > 0:37:30through to 2013. Very, very best of luck.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33OK, as ever, you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers
0:37:33 > 0:37:36and all you need to win that jackpot is for just one of those
0:37:36 > 0:37:39- answers to be pointless. Are you ready?- Yes.- Ready.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43There they are, your time starts now.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45I think we're better off going with politicians,
0:37:45 > 0:37:48- unless you know any tennis players...- Boris Becker was...
0:37:50 > 0:37:54What about Woodrow Wilson? Was he under 50?
0:37:54 > 0:37:56Probably could have been.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59McKinley, was he under 50? He got shot, so...
0:37:59 > 0:38:02He might have been quite young when he was shot.
0:38:02 > 0:38:04Let's go for him, then. Do you want to go for the both of them?
0:38:04 > 0:38:07- Boris Becker...- Yes, unless you've got any other ideas.
0:38:07 > 0:38:08I don't know who...
0:38:08 > 0:38:12- Any writer won the Booker Prize?- No.
0:38:12 > 0:38:15What about JK Rowling, did she win the Booker Prize?
0:38:15 > 0:38:18- No, I think she'd be quite...- OK.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20Tennis players...
0:38:20 > 0:38:23So we've got one tennis player,
0:38:23 > 0:38:26- so you going to go for two US politicians?- Yeah, that's all right.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29- You're the boss. - Yeah, that's fine.
0:38:29 > 0:38:33- If you just give me orders, I'll just as I'm told.- OK.
0:38:33 > 0:38:35- Ten seconds left.- Yeah, OK.- OK.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38OK, you have arrived at your answers...
0:38:38 > 0:38:41- Yeah.- ..as the clock runs out there.
0:38:41 > 0:38:43So, what are those three answers going to be?
0:38:43 > 0:38:47- From tennis players, we're going for Boris Becker.- OK, Boris Becker.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50Two of them are presidents. We're going for John McKinley...
0:38:50 > 0:38:53- John McKinley?- ..and Woodrow Wilson. - Woodrow Wilson.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer,
0:38:56 > 0:39:00- do you think?- John McKinley. - OK, John McKinley we'll put last.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02- Least likely to be pointless? - Boris Becker.- Boris Becker.
0:39:02 > 0:39:06Boris Becker we'll put first and Woodrow Wilson in the middle.
0:39:06 > 0:39:08OK, let's pop those up on the board in that order and here they are.
0:39:08 > 0:39:10We've got...
0:39:14 > 0:39:17Well, very, very best of luck. Three answers up on the board.
0:39:17 > 0:39:21Let's hope one of those is correct and pointless.
0:39:21 > 0:39:24If it is, you'll win 2,000 quid. What would you do with that, Danny?
0:39:24 > 0:39:26I'm a builder, my van's packed up
0:39:26 > 0:39:29and I need to get a new engine for it. So in the meantime,
0:39:29 > 0:39:32I just had to buy a little cheap van which is falling apart itself,
0:39:32 > 0:39:37- so I'll probably spend it on a new engine for my van.- OK, Simone?
0:39:37 > 0:39:40Bags and shoes, of course!
0:39:40 > 0:39:43- OK, bags and shoes and an engine. - And an engine.- Good.
0:39:43 > 0:39:46Excellent. Well, your first answer was Boris Becker.
0:39:46 > 0:39:47In this case,
0:39:47 > 0:39:52we were looking for any Grand Slam tennis champion under 20.
0:39:52 > 0:39:55You thought this was probably the least likely to be pointless,
0:39:55 > 0:39:56but let's find out if it's right
0:39:56 > 0:39:58and if it is pointless, you will win £2,000.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00Is Boris Becker pointless?
0:40:03 > 0:40:05It's right.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07That was the first thing it had to be.
0:40:07 > 0:40:10Now, down it goes, Boris Becker taking us through the 40s,
0:40:10 > 0:40:12still going down...
0:40:12 > 0:40:1329.
0:40:13 > 0:40:16APPLAUSE
0:40:16 > 0:40:19- That's not bad.- Not bad.
0:40:19 > 0:40:21OK, unfortunately not a pointless answer,
0:40:21 > 0:40:24which means only two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:40:24 > 0:40:26Your next answer was Woodrow Wilson.
0:40:26 > 0:40:30In this case, we were looking for US politicians who became president
0:40:30 > 0:40:31under the age of 50.
0:40:31 > 0:40:35Again, it has to be right, then it has to be pointless for you to win
0:40:35 > 0:40:37that jackpot. Let's find out. Did our 100 people know?
0:40:37 > 0:40:42Is it correct? For £2,000, is Woodrow Wilson a pointless answer?
0:40:45 > 0:40:47No, I'm afraid not.
0:40:47 > 0:40:49OK, everything is now riding
0:40:49 > 0:40:52on your third and final answer, which was John McKinley.
0:40:52 > 0:40:57Again, this is for US presidents inaugurated under the age of 50.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00Let's find out if it's right and if it's pointless.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03For £2,000, how many people said John McKinley?
0:41:07 > 0:41:11No, I'm sorry. Bad luck.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13APPLAUSE
0:41:14 > 0:41:15You had three good shots at it there,
0:41:15 > 0:41:17but you didn't manage to find that all-important
0:41:17 > 0:41:20pointless answer, which means you don't win today's jackpot.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22That will roll over onto the next show.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24But it has been great having you on the show.
0:41:24 > 0:41:26- Only one show, you did so well. - Oh, well.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29But you each get a Pointless trophy to take home, so there we are.
0:41:29 > 0:41:31It hasn't all been in vain.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33APPLAUSE
0:41:35 > 0:41:36It was William McKinley, I'm afraid,
0:41:36 > 0:41:39and he was 54 when he was inaugurated.
0:41:39 > 0:41:42He was assassinated, quite right, and Woodrow Wilson was 56.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45Three very different questions and there's pointless answers
0:41:45 > 0:41:48in all of these that I know people at home will have got.
0:41:48 > 0:41:50I suspect a lot of success at home here.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52Let's take a look at the tennis one first.
0:41:52 > 0:41:55Michael Chang, who won the French Open when he was 17.
0:42:00 > 0:42:03You also could have had Mats Wilander,
0:42:03 > 0:42:05who'd won two Gram Slam titles before he was 20,
0:42:05 > 0:42:07Iva Majoli and Arantxa Sanchez Vicario.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10All of those pointless, very well done if you said any of those.
0:42:10 > 0:42:11Let's look at some presidents.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17Theodore Roosevelt, who took over from William McKinley
0:42:17 > 0:42:20after McKinley was shot, became the youngest president there at 42.
0:42:21 > 0:42:24You also could have had Franklin Pierce and James K Polk.
0:42:24 > 0:42:27The big scorers there...in fact, the only scorers were Obama, Kennedy
0:42:27 > 0:42:30and Clinton, they all scored very highly.
0:42:30 > 0:42:31The Booker Prize-winning novelists.
0:42:31 > 0:42:34If you know your stuff here, there's some good pointless answers.
0:42:34 > 0:42:37Ben Okri, who won for The Famished Road, Eleanor Catton,
0:42:37 > 0:42:40who won in 2013 for The Luminaries.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42Roddy Doyle was a pointless answer.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44The author of Life Of Pi, Yann Martel, also.
0:42:44 > 0:42:47You also could have had Aravind Adiga,
0:42:47 > 0:42:50you could have had Kazuo Ishiguro, Kiran Desai, VS Naipaul...
0:42:50 > 0:42:52All of those pointless answers as well, so very well done
0:42:52 > 0:42:55if you got pointless answers in any of those categories.
0:42:55 > 0:42:58I bet there's someone out there who got a pointless answer in all three
0:42:58 > 0:43:00- and if you did, very well done. - Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:43:00 > 0:43:03Unfortunately we have to say goodbye to you,
0:43:03 > 0:43:05but it's been brilliant having you on the show.
0:43:05 > 0:43:06Thank you so much for playing.
0:43:06 > 0:43:08APPLAUSE
0:43:08 > 0:43:12Sadly, Danny and Simone didn't win our jackpot today, which means
0:43:12 > 0:43:15it rolls over onto the next show, when we will be playing for...
0:43:15 > 0:43:18APPLAUSE
0:43:18 > 0:43:19Join us then, see if someone can win it.
0:43:19 > 0:43:22- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...- Goodbye.
0:43:22 > 0:43:23..and it's goodbye from me, goodbye.
0:43:23 > 0:43:25APPLAUSE
