Thank you. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong

0:00:200:00:22

and a very warm welcome to Pointless,

0:00:220:00:24

the show where obvious answers mean nothing

0:00:240:00:26

and obscure answers mean everything.

0:00:260:00:28

-Let's meet today's players.

-APPLAUSE

0:00:280:00:31

-And couple number one.

-Hello, my name's Rayne.

0:00:330:00:36

This is my colleague Sean and we both work in East London.

0:00:360:00:39

-Couple number two.

-Hi, I'm Chev.

0:00:390:00:41

This is my husband Danny and we're from Carlisle.

0:00:410:00:44

-Couple number three.

-Hi, I'm Kate. This is my friend Fred.

0:00:440:00:47

I'm from Leeds and Fred's from Hertfordshire.

0:00:470:00:49

And finally, couple number four.

0:00:490:00:51

I'm Alex and this is my mum, Angela and we are from Warrington.

0:00:510:00:55

-And these are today's contestants.

-APPLAUSE

0:00:550:00:58

Thanks, all of you.

0:00:590:01:00

We'll get to know more about you as the show goes along.

0:01:000:01:02

So, that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.

0:01:020:01:05

Hunting down the facts and strangling them with his bare hands,

0:01:050:01:08

it's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.

0:01:080:01:10

Hiya. Hi, everybody. APPLAUSE

0:01:100:01:13

-Afternoon. Good afternoon to you.

-And to you.

0:01:140:01:16

What an amazing show we had last time!

0:01:160:01:18

On podium one, we had Rayne and Sean who were incredibly strong,

0:01:180:01:21

properly strong, pointless answers, all sorts of good answers.

0:01:210:01:24

But they came across an even stronger pair, Jackie and Donna.

0:01:240:01:27

Started with a pointless answer,

0:01:270:01:29

finished with a pointless answer, won the jackpot.

0:01:290:01:31

Deservedly so as well. Absolutely terrific.

0:01:310:01:33

But Rayne and Sean, unlucky to come against them in that show.

0:01:330:01:36

I think they're going to be very difficult to beat in this one.

0:01:360:01:38

Angela and Alex, we didn't see too much of you last time.

0:01:380:01:41

Fingers crossed we'll see a little bit more this time.

0:01:410:01:44

-But should be a cracking little show.

-Fabulous.

0:01:440:01:46

Thank you very much indeed, Richard.

0:01:460:01:48

All our questions are put to 100 people before the show.

0:01:480:01:51

Our contestants need to find the obscure answers

0:01:510:01:54

our 100 people didn't get.

0:01:540:01:55

Everyone's trying to find a pointless answer,

0:01:550:01:57

and answer that none of our 100 people got,

0:01:570:01:59

and each time that happens, we'll add £250 to the jackpot.

0:01:590:02:02

Now, Jackie and Donna won the jackpot last time,

0:02:020:02:05

so today's jackpot starts off back at £1,000.

0:02:050:02:08

There it is. Right, if everyone's really, let's play Pointless.

0:02:080:02:13

APPLAUSE

0:02:130:02:15

OK, all you need to remember is that the pair with the highest score

0:02:170:02:19

at the end of each round will be eliminated.

0:02:190:02:22

Best of luck. Our first category today is...

0:02:220:02:24

Band members. Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first,

0:02:280:02:31

who's going to go second?

0:02:310:02:32

And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:02:320:02:35

OK, and the question concerns...

0:02:390:02:41

Yeah, good. Band Members, Eponymous Debut Albums. That's what it is.

0:02:460:02:50

-Richard.

-Yeah, on each pass, we're going to show you seven bands

0:02:500:02:52

who released eponymous or self-titled debut albums.

0:02:520:02:55

We're just going to give you the surnames of the members

0:02:550:02:57

of those groups, so can you work out what the band is, please?

0:02:570:03:00

There's going to be seven on each pass.

0:03:000:03:02

14 in all to have a go at, at home.

0:03:020:03:04

I've got it. Brilliant.

0:03:040:03:06

We're going to give you the names of the band members, the surnames.

0:03:060:03:09

You have to tell us what the name of that band

0:03:090:03:11

and thereby, the name of their eponymous first album.

0:03:110:03:14

OK, our first board of seven reads like this...

0:03:160:03:18

I'll read those all one last time.

0:03:430:03:45

There we are. Seven bands with just their members' surnames.

0:04:040:04:09

-Sean, welcome back. You did so well last time.

-Thank you.

0:04:090:04:12

Fantastic performance. Remind us what you do, Sean.

0:04:120:04:16

-I'm park ranger at Mile End Park.

-A park ranger.

0:04:160:04:19

How long have you been doing that?

0:04:190:04:21

-Ten years.

-Is it quite nice? It's nice to be out in the open air.

0:04:210:04:24

It's lovely.

0:04:240:04:25

It's quite free, with many different aspects of the job

0:04:250:04:28

so it's never boring.

0:04:280:04:29

And you get to see the park growing and changing all the time.

0:04:290:04:33

It's changed a lot in ten years.

0:04:330:04:35

-And what are your interests outside the park?

-I like to read.

0:04:350:04:39

I listen to some music, but none of those bands there.

0:04:390:04:43

-Anything there jumping out at you?

-Two.

0:04:440:04:47

One, I think I know for sure. One, I'm... I'm going to guess.

0:04:470:04:51

I'm going to go for Tyler, Perry, Hamilton, Kramer and Whitford.

0:04:510:04:55

And I hope it's Aerosmith.

0:04:550:04:58

Aerosmith, says Sean. Let's see if Aerosmith's right.

0:04:580:05:01

Let's see how many people said Aerosmith.

0:05:010:05:03

Absolutely right, Sean.

0:05:060:05:07

-Good answer. Very well done.

-APPLAUSE

0:05:110:05:15

Great start to the round and the show. 12 for Aerosmith.

0:05:150:05:17

Great answer, Sean. Great start to the show again.

0:05:180:05:21

-Yes, Steven Tyler and Joe Perry, leading up the group there.

-OK.

0:05:210:05:24

-Now, Chev, welcome.

-Hiya.

-I love Chev. What's that short for?

0:05:240:05:28

-Chevonne.

-Chevonne? Nice chevaux on your top there, also.

-Thank you.

0:05:280:05:35

Now, Chev, what do you do?

0:05:350:05:37

-I'm a team leader in a kitchen.

-That's a fun thing to be.

0:05:370:05:40

-Blooming hard work, I've had thought.

-It is hard work.

0:05:400:05:43

-In a kitchen in a restaurant or...?

-It's in a pub in Carlisle.

0:05:430:05:47

Right you are. Now, Chev. Bands.

0:05:470:05:50

I think there's maybe two I know, but I think I was listening to one

0:05:500:05:54

on the radio coming up on the train, so I'm going to go with that one.

0:05:540:05:58

Morrissey, Marr, Rourke, Joyce.

0:05:580:06:00

-The Smiths.

-The Smiths, says Chev. Let's see if that's right.

0:06:000:06:04

Let's see how many of our 100 people said The Smiths.

0:06:040:06:06

Good.

0:06:100:06:11

APPLAUSE

0:06:150:06:17

40 for The Smiths.

0:06:170:06:19

Yeah, a big score for The Smiths.

0:06:190:06:20

Steven Morrissey, Johnny Marr, Andy Rourke and Mike Joyce, of course.

0:06:200:06:24

Number two, their debut album got to.

0:06:240:06:26

-Thank you very much. Kate, welcome.

-Hello.

-Great to have you here.

0:06:260:06:29

-You are a student.

-I am.

-Where are you a student?

0:06:290:06:32

-At the University of Birmingham.

-And you are studying what?

0:06:320:06:35

I'm studying geography with a year in computer science.

0:06:350:06:38

Which year are you in at the moment?

0:06:380:06:39

I'm in my third year, which is computer science.

0:06:390:06:41

The year in computer science.

0:06:410:06:43

-Are you longing to be back in geography?

-Yeah. I can't wait.

0:06:430:06:45

-How long till you're back there?

-After summer, so...

-Oh, goodness.

0:06:450:06:49

Well, best of luck with that.

0:06:490:06:50

What do you like getting up to at Birmingham when you're not studying?

0:06:500:06:53

I do cheerleading with the uni.

0:06:530:06:56

-Which is fun, but I broke my wrist the day before...

-That will happen.

0:06:560:07:00

-..our audition for this.

-You want a lighter pompom, is my advice.

0:07:000:07:04

You can get a lot of sprains there. as well.

0:07:040:07:06

Also, in a high wind, I don't know if you've experienced this,

0:07:060:07:09

but some of those pompoms can catch a draught.

0:07:090:07:12

And there's hell to pay. Not at the time, but later on.

0:07:120:07:15

I'm just warning you.

0:07:150:07:16

-Yeah.

-OK. So, yes, bands. Music, a big interest of yours?

0:07:180:07:24

Well, I thought it was, and then I saw that. So, thinking again.

0:07:240:07:29

I'm going to take a wild guess.

0:07:290:07:32

Jagger, Richards, Jones, Watts, Wyman.

0:07:320:07:35

Just go for The Bee Gees.

0:07:350:07:37

OK. Let's see if that's right. The Bee Gees.

0:07:390:07:41

Let's see how many of our 100 people said The Bee Gees.

0:07:410:07:44

-I'm sorry.

-I knew that.

-I'm afraid that is not The Bee Gees.

0:07:480:07:52

That's going to score you 100 points. Sorry.

0:07:520:07:54

Yeah, sorry, Kate. The Bee Gees would be Gibb, Gibb, Gibb.

0:07:540:07:57

LAUGHTER

0:07:570:08:00

Wow, that sounds like a weird Scout thing, doesn't it?

0:08:000:08:04

-Thanks. Angela, welcome back.

-Hi.

0:08:040:08:08

Now, Round Two it was for you last time. That was a pig, wasn't it?

0:08:080:08:12

-That board?

-Not a good board.

-Oh, dear, oh, dear.

0:08:120:08:15

Remind us what you do, Angela.

0:08:150:08:17

I work in a central planning department

0:08:170:08:19

for a high street retailer

0:08:190:08:21

-that I'm not going to mention.

-Excellent.

0:08:210:08:24

Do they sell lots of things? Is it a broad range of things they sell?

0:08:240:08:26

-Absolutely.

-Or is it quite... Not a stationer's?

0:08:260:08:29

No, not a stationer's.

0:08:290:08:30

-Not a computer...?

-We touch on computing.

0:08:300:08:33

Basically I was wondering if there was any kind of discount we can get.

0:08:330:08:37

LAUGHTER

0:08:370:08:39

-They touch on computing.

-They touch on computing.

-Touch.

0:08:390:08:42

-Well, you could certainly do with a new computer.

-Yeah, if you've got...

0:08:420:08:45

-Come and see me later.

-If you've got a computer that actually works,

0:08:450:08:48

-that would be amazing.

-Or just a computer lead would be good.

0:08:480:08:51

Just something to plug it in would be lovely.

0:08:510:08:54

Anyway, now, Angela. You're the last person to have this board.

0:08:540:08:58

You can fill in all the blanks.

0:08:580:09:02

Not a chance. This is not my forte at all.

0:09:020:09:06

I think Jagger, Richards, Jones, Watts and Wyman

0:09:060:09:09

were The Rolling Stones.

0:09:090:09:11

-Is that the one you're going to say?

-It's the only one I can think of.

0:09:110:09:14

You're going to go for The Rolling Stones. Does that ring a bell, Kate?

0:09:140:09:17

-Yeah. Now it does.

-Let's see if it's right.

-KATE:

-I knew that!

0:09:170:09:20

Let's see how many people said The Rolling Stones.

0:09:200:09:22

Oh!

0:09:270:09:29

-It's a lot better than 100, Angela.

-APPLAUSE

0:09:290:09:32

-83 for The Rolling Stones.

-Yeah, a lot of our 100 knew that.

0:09:320:09:35

Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Brian Jones, Charlie Watts and Bill Wyman.

0:09:350:09:38

Let's look through the rest of these.

0:09:380:09:40

Let's start with the second from bottom

0:09:400:09:42

because it's got my namesake in there.

0:09:420:09:43

Anderson, Butler, Gilbert and Osman.

0:09:430:09:46

-Know that one?

-I do know that one.

0:09:460:09:47

-He's not just your namesake, it's your brother.

-It is my brother.

0:09:470:09:50

Yeah. That's my lovely big brother, Mat. Hello, Mat, if you're watching.

0:09:500:09:53

And it's Suede. And their debut album was called Suede

0:09:530:09:56

and would have scored 13.

0:09:560:09:57

Beat Aerosmith, Mat!

0:09:570:09:58

You beat Aerosmith. How about that?

0:09:580:10:01

The bottom one is Rage Against The Machine.

0:10:010:10:04

Would have scored you three. Manson, Erikson, Marker and Vig.

0:10:050:10:09

It's Shirley Manson.

0:10:090:10:10

-It's Butch Vig and it's Garbage.

-Yes.

0:10:100:10:13

Would have scored you eight. Now, MacFarlane, Savage and Gibson

0:10:130:10:16

is the best answer on the board by a mile.

0:10:160:10:18

There's a chance, a very off chance, that Fred might know that one

0:10:180:10:21

-because they're from your home town of St Albans.

-Erm...

0:10:210:10:24

-No.

-I'll give you a clue. I'll tell you the name of the album.

0:10:240:10:27

The album's called... LAUGHTER

0:10:270:10:30

-The album's called Friendly Fires.

-Oh, right.

0:10:300:10:33

Friendly Fires is the answer to that one.

0:10:330:10:35

And one point, so very well done if you said that.

0:10:350:10:37

Thank you very much indeed. We're halfway through the round.

0:10:370:10:40

Let's look at those scores.

0:10:400:10:42

Once again, Sean and Rayne leading from the front there,

0:10:420:10:44

very well done indeed. Lovely low score of 12.

0:10:440:10:47

Then we step up quite considerably, up to 40, where we find Chev and Danny.

0:10:470:10:51

Up to 83 where we find Angela and Alex.

0:10:510:10:54

Then, I'm afraid, up to 100 for Kate and Fred.

0:10:540:10:56

Don't despair though, because actually you're only 17 ahead

0:10:560:10:59

of your nearest rivals so it's all still to play for.

0:10:590:11:02

We're going to come back down the line.

0:11:020:11:04

Second players, please step up to the podium.

0:11:040:11:06

OK, let's put seven more bands up on the board, and here they come.

0:11:090:11:13

We have got...

0:11:130:11:14

I'll read those all one last time.

0:11:350:11:36

Remember, we are looking for the names of the bands

0:11:560:11:59

composed of these members and you are going to find the one

0:11:590:12:01

you think the fewest of our 100 people knew.

0:12:010:12:05

-Alex. Welcome back.

-Thank you.

-You are at university.

0:12:050:12:09

-You're taking a year out, a year's placement.

-I am.

0:12:090:12:12

Tell us something else about yourself, Alex.

0:12:120:12:14

I played to a reasonably high level of badminton when I was younger.

0:12:140:12:18

I represented the county, Cheshire,

0:12:180:12:20

for a number of years, till I was about 18.

0:12:200:12:22

And then hung up my racket when I went to university.

0:12:220:12:26

Will you be taking it down again when you come back?

0:12:260:12:28

I would have thought so, yeah. When I've got a bit more time.

0:12:280:12:31

Good stuff. OK, well, you're on 83.

0:12:310:12:33

The high-scorers, Fred and Kate on 100.

0:12:330:12:36

-16 or less definitely sees you through.

-Yeah. Erm.

0:12:360:12:40

I was a lot better on the other board.

0:12:400:12:42

I really should know the bottom one, but I'm going to have to go

0:12:420:12:45

for the only one I'm certain of, May, Mercury, Taylor and Deacon.

0:12:450:12:50

And I hope that's Queen.

0:12:500:12:51

You're going to say Queen. Let's find out if it is Queen.

0:12:510:12:54

Let's find out how many people said Queen. There's your red line.

0:12:540:12:57

Well, it's right.

0:13:010:13:02

-That is a high score.

-APPLAUSE

0:13:030:13:05

Takes your total up to 156.

0:13:050:13:07

Yes, it is a big score again.

0:13:070:13:09

Actually, on that first album, John Deacon is credited as Deacon John.

0:13:090:13:13

-Cos the others thought it sounded cooler.

-I think they're not wrong.

0:13:130:13:17

And he was quite new to the band so he said, "All right."

0:13:170:13:20

Interesting. Thank you. Now, Fred. Welcome.

0:13:200:13:22

-You're also a student at Birmingham.

-Yeah.

-What do you study?

0:13:220:13:26

I study political economy.

0:13:260:13:28

-Good stuff. In your third year?

-Third year.

0:13:280:13:30

Are you going to go political after it do you think?

0:13:300:13:32

Or is it just something you're...?

0:13:320:13:34

It was something I was interested in, but I think...

0:13:340:13:36

After three years, I now have no further interest!

0:13:360:13:39

-Hopefully, I'm going to try and do a master's after.

-OK. In...?

0:13:390:13:42

-In economics.

-OK. Good stuff.

0:13:420:13:45

Now then, Fred. There you are. You're on 100. Alex and Angela, 156.

0:13:450:13:49

So 55 or less and through you go.

0:13:490:13:52

Now, I was much better on the last board,

0:13:520:13:54

but I'm going to take a stab in the dark.

0:13:540:13:56

Kapranos, McCarthy, Hardy and Thompson.

0:13:560:13:58

And I'm probably going to go with Kaiser Chiefs.

0:13:580:14:01

OK, Kaiser Chiefs, said Fred.

0:14:010:14:03

Let's see if that's right.

0:14:030:14:04

Let's see how many of our 100 people said Kaiser Chiefs.

0:14:040:14:07

There's your red line.

0:14:070:14:08

I'm sorry, Fred. I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer.

0:14:120:14:15

Scores you another 100 points. Takes your total up to an unbeatable 200.

0:14:150:14:18

-Sorry.

-Yeah, roughly the right vintage for Kaiser Chiefs,

0:14:180:14:21

but that would start with Wilson, I'm afraid.

0:14:210:14:23

Now then, Danny. Listen, I've got great news. You are in Round Two.

0:14:250:14:30

-Good, good.

-Listen, I just want to let you know the glad tidings.

0:14:300:14:33

You're in Round Two.

0:14:330:14:35

Danny, what do you do? I know the answer to this.

0:14:350:14:38

-You manage a kitchen.

-Yep.

0:14:380:14:39

What are your interests aside from the kitchen?

0:14:390:14:42

Er, football and travel, preferably the two together.

0:14:420:14:46

I've sent myself the aim of going to all, I think

0:14:460:14:50

there's 50 countries in Europe now, by the time I turn 50.

0:14:500:14:54

I've been to 32 and I've got 14 years to go.

0:14:540:14:57

-And you're trying to take in a game while you're there?

-Yeah. If I can.

0:14:570:15:01

Good stuff. OK, now, Danny. There you are. You're on 40.

0:15:010:15:04

Doesn't matter what you score, you're through to the next round.

0:15:040:15:07

But I think you might have some good answers here.

0:15:070:15:09

I have a hunch you might be quite good at this.

0:15:090:15:11

The first board, I knew four of them.

0:15:110:15:14

This board, one stood out instantly.

0:15:140:15:17

Because they are my favourite band.

0:15:170:15:19

So I'm going to go with Squire, Brown, Mounfield and Wren.

0:15:190:15:23

-And The Stone Roses.

-Abso... Maybe. Absolutely maybe. Let's see.

0:15:230:15:28

Is that right, and how many of our 100 people said The Stone Roses?

0:15:280:15:32

Oh, it's a lovely low score. Look at that. Very well done.

0:15:400:15:43

-Takes your total up to 50.

-APPLAUSE

0:15:430:15:45

-Our lowest total so far, Danny, well done.

-Well played, Danny.

0:15:460:15:49

The wonderful Stone Roses.

0:15:490:15:50

Yeah, after that first album, they signed to Geffen for 20 million

0:15:500:15:53

and then didn't make another album for five years.

0:15:530:15:56

Wow.

0:15:560:15:57

Thanks very much. Now, Rayne.

0:15:570:15:59

The main issue is, you are also through. This is the main issue.

0:15:590:16:03

The side issue is, can you score the best score of the round?

0:16:030:16:07

The lowest score? The lowest score to date is Danny's actually.

0:16:070:16:12

Like Danny, I had four on the first round

0:16:120:16:13

and I suspect it was the same four.

0:16:130:16:15

Going from the top, that's Duran Duran.

0:16:160:16:19

I think the one on the bottom is possibly Elastica.

0:16:190:16:23

Clapton/Baker must be Cream.

0:16:230:16:25

As we're through, we'll go for Elastica.

0:16:250:16:27

You're going for Elastica. No red line, you're already through,

0:16:270:16:30

but let's see how many of our 100 people said Elastica.

0:16:300:16:32

It's absolutely right.

0:16:340:16:36

Well, ten is our lowest score so far.

0:16:360:16:38

Are you going to go down below that?

0:16:380:16:41

-Oh. Joint lowest.

-APPLAUSE

0:16:410:16:43

Very well done indeed. 22.

0:16:440:16:46

The lowest total score of the round.

0:16:460:16:48

Yeah, another terrific answer there.

0:16:480:16:50

Justine Frischmann as you say,

0:16:500:16:51

Donna Matthews, Annie Holland and Justin Welch.

0:16:510:16:53

Who used to be my brother's flatmate, many, many years ago.

0:16:530:16:56

Ten points for them.

0:16:560:16:57

Actually, the Clapton, Winwood one? It's not Cream. It's Blind Faith.

0:16:570:17:01

And it scores a very low four points. Kapranos, McCarthy, Hardy, Thompson.

0:17:010:17:07

-It's Franz Ferdinand.

-It's Franz Ferdinand, yeah. Alex Kapranos.

0:17:070:17:10

Would have scored you five.

0:17:100:17:12

Right at the top, you were quite right.

0:17:120:17:14

Taylor, Taylor, Taylor, Rhodes, Le Bon is Duran Duran.

0:17:140:17:17

Would have scored you 47, so a big score.

0:17:170:17:19

And Lynch, Lynch, O'Carroll, Armaou.

0:17:190:17:21

Is B*Witched. Of C'est La Vie fame.

0:17:220:17:25

Three points for that, so B*Witched is the best answer on the board.

0:17:250:17:28

-Well done if you said that.

-Thank you, Richard.

0:17:280:17:31

So at the end of our first round, the pair heading home

0:17:310:17:33

with their unbeatable score of 200, I'm afraid, is Fred and Kate.

0:17:330:17:37

Well, I'm sorry, yes. You know, you took a punt.

0:17:370:17:41

You did exactly what you needed to do. We'll see you again next time.

0:17:410:17:44

We look forward to that.

0:17:440:17:45

-In the meantime, thanks for playing. Fred and Kate.

-APPLAUSE

0:17:450:17:49

But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.

0:17:510:17:53

And so only three pairs remain.

0:17:580:18:00

At the end of this round, we'll have to say goodbye

0:18:000:18:02

to another pair in time for our head-to-head round.

0:18:020:18:04

Well, Rayne and Sean, very well done.

0:18:050:18:08

Some lovely low-scoring once again from you there.

0:18:080:18:11

Chev and Danny, no slouches either.

0:18:110:18:14

Danny particularly, lovely low score there. Angela and Alex... Phew.

0:18:140:18:18

-Phew.

-Phew is all I'm saying. But it all changes. Completely new round.

0:18:180:18:23

Best of luck to all three pairs. Our category for Round Two is...

0:18:230:18:26

Politics. Can you all decide in your pairs

0:18:310:18:32

who's going first, who's going second?

0:18:320:18:34

And whoever's going first, please, step up to the podium.

0:18:340:18:37

OK, so our question concerns...

0:18:400:18:42

The G20 summit of 2013. Richard.

0:18:480:18:50

We are about to show you a photograph of some of the people

0:18:500:18:53

who attended the G20 summit in St Petersburg in 2013.

0:18:530:18:56

We just need you to name any person you're about to see in the picture.

0:18:560:18:59

Don't worry, there's some very famous people there.

0:18:590:19:01

Some good pointless answers but there's some well-known ones, too.

0:19:010:19:05

Thanks very much. We're looking for the names of any of the people

0:19:050:19:07

pictured in this image.

0:19:070:19:09

And here they are.

0:19:090:19:11

There we are.

0:19:140:19:16

Who are all these people? Rayne.

0:19:160:19:20

OK. I feel I should be much better than this.

0:19:200:19:24

I could probably make guesses on most of the countries.

0:19:240:19:26

I think I can only name four people.

0:19:260:19:29

-Let's go for Angela Merkel.

-Angela Merkel, says Rayne.

0:19:290:19:33

Let's see if that's right and let's see how many people said it.

0:19:330:19:35

It's right.

0:19:380:19:39

APPLAUSE

0:19:420:19:44

Yeah, Chancellor of Germany. Formerly a quantum chemist, Angela Merkel.

0:19:470:19:50

I get the feeling we might run out of obvious answers towards

0:19:500:19:53

the end of this round, don't you?

0:19:530:19:56

Now then, Chev.

0:19:560:19:57

I only know two.

0:19:580:19:59

And they're so obvious, but I'm going to have to go with one.

0:19:590:20:03

Barack Obama.

0:20:030:20:05

Barack Obama, says Chev.

0:20:050:20:06

Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.

0:20:060:20:09

It's ri...

0:20:120:20:13

-Didn't even have time to say it was right, but it is.

-APPLAUSE

0:20:130:20:17

-91 for Barack Obama.

-Yeah. President of the United States. There he is.

0:20:170:20:21

Of course, lost his record for the most tweeted photograph ever

0:20:210:20:23

after his 2012 election victory.

0:20:230:20:26

Ellen DeGeneres beat it with her Oscar selfie.

0:20:260:20:29

She's not there though.

0:20:290:20:30

This is actually a selfie taken by a very long-armed man

0:20:320:20:34

who's just out of shot. LAUGHTER

0:20:340:20:36

-Now then, Angela.

-Yes.

-Angle-a, I nearly called you, sorry. Angela.

0:20:370:20:43

Er, yes. There's four on there that I know. Two have gone.

0:20:430:20:47

Do I need to give a Christian name as well? I fear you do, yeah.

0:20:470:20:51

I'm going to say David Cameron then.

0:20:510:20:53

OK, David Cameron, says Angela.

0:20:530:20:55

Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.

0:20:550:20:57

Yep, it's right.

0:21:000:21:01

-APPLAUSE

-Jeepers creepers!

0:21:010:21:03

It's interesting more of our hundred recognised the US President

0:21:070:21:11

than our own Prime Minister.

0:21:110:21:12

Yeah, it might be because he's slightly...

0:21:120:21:16

Obama's right in the front, isn't he? Cameron's slightly behind.

0:21:160:21:19

But at least he didn't get beaten by Angela Merkel.

0:21:190:21:22

-That really would have been...

-That really would be terrible.

0:21:220:21:25

We're halfway through the round. Let's look at the scores.

0:21:250:21:27

All of them quite high, but the best score, as ever,

0:21:270:21:30

to the first podium, Rayne and Sean. Well done, Rayne.

0:21:300:21:32

69 there, not bad at all.

0:21:320:21:34

Then up to 88 where we find Angela and Alex.

0:21:340:21:36

Up to 91, Chev and Danny.

0:21:360:21:38

So, Danny, it's between you and Alex in the next pass. Best of luck.

0:21:380:21:41

We're going to come back down the line.

0:21:410:21:43

Second players, step up to the podium.

0:21:430:21:44

OK, we're looking for the names of any people pictured here.

0:21:480:21:51

Alex, you're on 88.

0:21:510:21:52

Little bit lower than the high score, Danny and Chev on 91.

0:21:520:21:56

What are you going to go for?

0:21:560:21:58

I'm struggling. The three that I knew are the three that have gone

0:21:590:22:02

and I assume that's like most people but maybe not.

0:22:020:22:05

So I'm going to have to take a guess.

0:22:050:22:08

And let's go with...

0:22:080:22:10

..John Smith.

0:22:110:22:12

SHE LAUGHS

0:22:120:22:14

-Yes, because that is a common name right over the world.

-LAUGHTER

0:22:140:22:21

There is your red line, down there. Right at the bottom of the column.

0:22:210:22:24

Let's see if John Smith's right.

0:22:240:22:26

Bad luck, Alex. I'm afraid that is an incorrect answer.

0:22:310:22:33

Scores you the maximum of 100 points.

0:22:330:22:35

Thanks to Angela's low score, relatively low score

0:22:350:22:39

in the previous pass, you may still get through to the head-to-head.

0:22:390:22:43

-We will discover. Richard.

-Yes, sorry, Alex.

0:22:430:22:45

That's John Smith's hand there, just out of shot.

0:22:450:22:49

OK, now, Danny.

0:22:500:22:52

Mmm.

0:22:530:22:55

Quite glad Alex said John Smith

0:22:550:22:56

because it leaves the only one I'm pretty sure of.

0:22:560:23:01

I'm going to go for a man whose country I've been to twice.

0:23:010:23:04

Which is Russia. And Vladimir Putin.

0:23:040:23:07

Vladimir Putin, says Danny. OK. There is your red line.

0:23:070:23:11

You merely have to get below that and you are in the head-to-head.

0:23:110:23:14

Let's see if Vladimir Putin is right.

0:23:140:23:16

It is, of course, and you are through. Very well done.

0:23:190:23:21

Vladimir Putin.

0:23:210:23:23

-Wow, soaring down the column. Look at that.

-APPLAUSE

0:23:230:23:27

-Takes your total up to 127.

-Yeah, there he is in the front row.

0:23:280:23:31

Very well played. Did exactly what you needed to do.

0:23:310:23:34

OK. Thanks very much. Now, Sean. Listen, good news.

0:23:340:23:36

You're through to the next round.

0:23:380:23:39

You are through, even if you score 100 points,

0:23:390:23:42

which I don't think you will.

0:23:420:23:43

I think you'll be able to come up with a name.

0:23:430:23:46

All right. I'm going to try...

0:23:460:23:48

I don't even know if the guy's in the picture to be honest,

0:23:480:23:50

but I'm just going to say Francois Hollande.

0:23:500:23:53

Francois Hollande. Let's see. Francois Hollande, is he there?

0:23:530:23:59

No red line for you as you're already through.

0:23:590:24:01

No, Francois Hollande, not there.

0:24:040:24:05

Unfortunately, scores you 100 points. Takes your total up to 169.

0:24:050:24:09

Couldn't matter less. You are already through.

0:24:090:24:11

Yeah, sorry, Sean. Perfectly good guess though, Francois Hollande.

0:24:110:24:14

This was in St Petersburg and they told him it was in Moscow as a trick.

0:24:140:24:17

LAUGHTER

0:24:170:24:18

Just going, "I'll give them 15 minutes. Then I'm getting my car."

0:24:200:24:25

Tough round. There's not many other scorers in there,

0:24:250:24:27

so I'll just go through everyone from the bottom left upwards.

0:24:270:24:30

Enrique Pena Nieto, the President of Mexico.

0:24:300:24:34

Next to him is Lee Hsien Loong, who's the PM of Singapore.

0:24:340:24:38

Both of those pointless answers. Another pointless answer,

0:24:380:24:41

the lady in red there, is Dilma Rousseff, the President of Brazil.

0:24:410:24:44

Then we have Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono,

0:24:440:24:47

the President of Indonesia. He was a pointless answer as well.

0:24:470:24:51

You got Prime Minister Erdogan of Turkey who was a pointless answer.

0:24:510:24:54

Manmohan Singh of India, he would have scored you two points.

0:24:540:24:58

The Australian Foreign Minister, Bob Carr.

0:24:580:25:00

He was a pointless answer.

0:25:000:25:01

Ban Ki-moon. Some people might have got him. One point Ban Ki-moon got.

0:25:010:25:05

The Secretary General of the UN. Jim Yong Kim from the World Bank.

0:25:050:25:09

You've got Jose Angel Gurria of the OECD,

0:25:090:25:12

both of those pointless answers.

0:25:120:25:14

Another pointless answer, the Governor of the Bank of England now,

0:25:140:25:17

Mark Carney and, to finish off the line,

0:25:170:25:18

you've got Hailemariam Desalegn, the Prime Minister of Ethiopia.

0:25:180:25:22

All of those were pointless.

0:25:220:25:24

Thank you very much.

0:25:240:25:26

So, at the end of our second round, the pair heading home

0:25:260:25:28

with their high score of 188, I'm afraid, is Alex and Angela.

0:25:280:25:31

-That was really tough.

-That was tough.

-That was very tough.

0:25:310:25:35

Apologies. Fun, but tough.

0:25:350:25:37

No shame at all on leaving in that round,

0:25:370:25:39

but it's been lovely having you on both shows.

0:25:390:25:42

-Thanks so much. Alex and Angela.

-APPLAUSE

0:25:420:25:44

But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for the head-to-head.

0:25:460:25:49

Congratulations, Chev and Danny, Rayne and Sean,

0:25:530:25:56

you are now one step closer to the final

0:25:560:25:58

and a chance to play for the jackpot which currently stands at £1,000.

0:25:580:26:03

This is where we have to decide who gets to play for that jackpot

0:26:030:26:06

and to do that, you're going to go head-to-head.

0:26:060:26:08

The difference is you can now confer before you give your answers, and

0:26:080:26:11

the first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.

0:26:110:26:14

You've both played incredibly well.

0:26:140:26:16

I wonder who is going to win this tussle. It's going to be an epic.

0:26:160:26:19

-Let's play the head-to-head.

-APPLAUSE

0:26:190:26:22

OK, here comes your first question and it concerns...

0:26:260:26:29

-Christmas, Richard.

-Ah, that's nice, isn't it? Do you feel all seasonal?

0:26:330:26:36

We're going to give you five clues now to five facts about things

0:26:360:26:39

to do with Christmas. You just have to give us the most obscure answer. Good luck.

0:26:390:26:43

OK, let's reveal our five Christmas facts and here they come.

0:26:430:26:46

We've got...

0:26:460:26:47

I'll read those all one last time.

0:27:080:27:10

Now then, Chev and Danny,

0:27:280:27:30

you've played best throughout the show so far, so you will go first.

0:27:300:27:33

(The film is Miracle On 54th Street or 52nd Street, I'm not sure.

0:27:360:27:40

(52nd or 51st.)

0:27:400:27:41

Right. Not totally sure whether this is right.

0:27:420:27:45

The '94 film featuring Coles Department Store

0:27:450:27:48

and staring Mara Wilson.

0:27:480:27:50

Miracle On 51st Street?

0:27:500:27:53

Miracle On 51st Street.

0:27:530:27:55

OK. Miracle On 51st Street. Rayne and Sean, the board is all yours.

0:27:550:28:01

Talk us through it and fill in any blanks you can.

0:28:010:28:03

I think the third one could possibly be The Nutcracker Suite.

0:28:030:28:07

I think the decade, for some reason, 1860s?

0:28:070:28:10

We all know that Christmas dinner is eaten on the 25th of something.

0:28:100:28:14

-And we think the film is called...

-Miracle On 34th Street.

0:28:140:28:19

-So we'll go for...

-Miracle On 34th Street.

-Miracle on 34th Street.

0:28:190:28:24

OK, so we have Miracle On 51st Street.

0:28:240:28:26

-Just round the corner, well...

-LAUGHTER

0:28:260:28:31

A few blocks down, we have Miracle On 34th Street.

0:28:310:28:33

Now, Chev and Danny said the Miracle On 51st.

0:28:330:28:35

Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said that.

0:28:350:28:38

No.

0:28:400:28:42

Doesn't necessarily mean Rayne and Sean are right, of course,

0:28:420:28:45

but let's find out. Miracle On 34th Street, they've said. Is that right?

0:28:450:28:48

How many people said it if it is?

0:28:480:28:50

That's right. 34th it is.

0:28:530:28:56

-Good answer.

-APPLAUSE

0:29:000:29:03

The Miracle On 34th Street. Very well done.

0:29:030:29:05

-After one question, you are up 1-0.

-Yeah, very well played.

0:29:050:29:08

Not 51st Street, I'm afraid.

0:29:080:29:10

Roadworks on 51st Street, everyone diverted down to 34th Street.

0:29:100:29:13

I think because it was Christmas.

0:29:130:29:15

I think there was something going on there.

0:29:150:29:17

Now, what did you think it would be, the eight?

0:29:170:29:21

-Lords?

-No, I...

-And you think?

-I think it's maids a-milking.

0:29:210:29:25

It is maids a-milking. Eight maids a-milking.

0:29:250:29:27

But very hard to remember those ones. 21 points for that.

0:29:270:29:30

The ballet by Tchaikovsky, you're right, was The Nutcracker.

0:29:300:29:33

Would have scored you 37. The decade wasn't the 1860s. It was the 1840s.

0:29:330:29:38

-Oh, right.

-Would have scored you three points.

0:29:380:29:41

And the date Christmas dinner is traditionally eaten is, er...

0:29:410:29:43

How many people got this. Let's have a guess, shall we?

0:29:450:29:48

Surely 100?

0:29:480:29:49

It's not 100. It beats David Cameron, but not by much.

0:29:490:29:53

91. LAUGHTER

0:29:530:29:57

-Wow.

-91. I suppose, you might think the question's so obvious...

0:29:570:30:00

They might think it's a trick question.

0:30:000:30:02

-Or people might eat their Christmas dinner on a different date.

-True.

0:30:020:30:05

"What date do I traditionally eat it?"

0:30:050:30:06

I mean, some people... Yeah, it's true.

0:30:060:30:09

Thank you, Richard. So, here comes your second question.

0:30:090:30:12

Chev, Danny, you have to win this one to stay in the game.

0:30:120:30:15

-But Rayne and... Rayne and Shine...

-LAUGHTER

0:30:150:30:19

..will be, er...

0:30:190:30:21

I'm glad you've said that.

0:30:220:30:24

For two shows now, every time we've heard "Rayne and Sean",

0:30:240:30:27

I've been singing Rain Or Shine, the Five Star song.

0:30:270:30:30

-Every single time.

-They will get to go first.

0:30:300:30:34

OK, here it comes. Best of luck. It concerns...

0:30:340:30:38

Down On The Farm. Richard.

0:30:420:30:44

We're going to show you five terms now associated with farming

0:30:440:30:47

but we put them in anagram form.

0:30:470:30:49

Can you unscramble them and give us the best answer? Good luck.

0:30:490:30:52

OK. Let's reveal our five anagrams and here they come.

0:30:520:30:55

All to do with farming.

0:30:550:30:57

OK, Rayne and Sean will go first.

0:31:120:31:14

(First, third, fourth... Haven't got the second of the fifth.)

0:31:140:31:19

We're going to go for "hob mince traverse" - combine harvester.

0:31:210:31:27

Combine harvester, say Rayne and Sean.

0:31:270:31:30

OK, now, Chev and Danny, the board is all yours.

0:31:300:31:33

Erm...

0:31:340:31:36

"Gyp sit," we would hope is pig sty. "Raw soccer" is scarecrow.

0:31:360:31:41

"Natal otter pop" is meaning absolutely nothing at the moment.

0:31:410:31:45

-So, scarecrow?

-Yeah.

-Yeah, we'll go with scarecrow.

0:31:450:31:48

You're going to go for scarecrow.

0:31:480:31:50

OK, so we have combine harvester and we have scarecrow.

0:31:500:31:54

Rayne and Sean said combine harvester.

0:31:540:31:55

Let's see how many people said that.

0:31:550:31:57

It's right.

0:32:000:32:01

-32 for combine harvester.

-APPLAUSE

0:32:050:32:08

Now then, Chev and Danny have gone for scarecrow. "Raw soccer."

0:32:100:32:13

Let's see if that's right and let's see how many people said that.

0:32:130:32:16

It's right.

0:32:190:32:20

It's got to beat 32.

0:32:210:32:22

And it does, well done. Back in the game. Good stuff, Chev and Danny.

0:32:240:32:27

-That's what we needed from you.

-APPLAUSE

0:32:270:32:29

-After two questions, it's one all.

-Well played, Chev and Danny.

0:32:310:32:34

Well chosen, as well. The top one is hay bale.

0:32:340:32:37

That would have scored you 46.

0:32:380:32:41

You're right about pig sty, but a big scorer, pig sty.

0:32:410:32:44

The biggest on the board, in fact. Would have scored you 69.

0:32:440:32:47

Now this bottom one is a pointless answer.

0:32:470:32:50

If I give you a clue? It's a machine for planting potatoes.

0:32:500:32:54

-It's a potato...planter.

-Potato planter, absolutely right.

0:32:540:32:57

Pointless answer. Very well done if you said that.

0:32:570:33:00

Thank you very much indeed. OK, it all comes down to a third question.

0:33:000:33:04

Whoever wins this goes through to the final and plays for the jackpot.

0:33:040:33:07

Best of luck to both pairs. It concerns...

0:33:070:33:09

Critics And Reviewers, Richard.

0:33:120:33:13

We're just going to show you five pictures of famous critics

0:33:130:33:16

and reviewers. You just need to identify the most obscure one.

0:33:160:33:19

The team that does is going through to play for the jackpot,

0:33:190:33:21

-so very best of luck.

-Thank you very much.

0:33:210:33:23

Let's reveal our five critics or reviewers and here they are.

0:33:230:33:27

We have got...

0:33:270:33:28

There we are. Five critics or reviewers.

0:33:450:33:50

Chev and Danny, you will go first.

0:33:500:33:52

-(E, I think, is Garry Bushell. He does sport and films.

-Yeah, OK.)

0:33:530:34:00

I'm going to go with E and is it Garry Bushell?

0:34:000:34:04

Garry Bushell, say Chev and Danny. Garry Bushell.

0:34:040:34:08

Now then, Rayne and Sean. Talk us through the rest of the board.

0:34:080:34:12

Right. We like to think we know them all.

0:34:120:34:15

I think that's Miranda Sawyer. That's the amazing Brian Sewell.

0:34:150:34:19

That's the guy who took over from Philip French, Mark Kermode.

0:34:190:34:22

And that's Jay Rayner

0:34:220:34:24

and I have absolutely no idea what order people will know those in.

0:34:240:34:28

OK, let's go...

0:34:280:34:31

-SEAN LAUGHS

-Mark Kermode.

0:34:310:34:33

OK, you're going to say C is Mark Kermode.

0:34:330:34:36

So we have Garry Bushell. We have Mark Kermode.

0:34:360:34:40

Now, Chev and Danny said Garry Bushell for E.

0:34:400:34:43

Let's see if E is Garry Bushell. Let's see how many people said it.

0:34:430:34:46

It's right.

0:34:490:34:50

-Garry Bushell, ten.

-APPLAUSE

0:34:550:34:58

Little bit scared now.

0:35:020:35:03

OK, so, Rayne and Sean meanwhile have said that C is Mark Kermode.

0:35:030:35:08

Let's see if that's right

0:35:080:35:10

and let's see how many people said Mark Kermode.

0:35:100:35:12

It's right.

0:35:140:35:16

It's got to go down below ten. Let's see where it stops.

0:35:170:35:20

-Oh, 22 for Mark Kermode.

-APPLAUSE

0:35:210:35:25

Oh, my Lord.

0:35:250:35:26

Which means...after three questions, Chev and Danny,

0:35:260:35:30

you are through to the final, 2-1.

0:35:300:35:33

Yeah, Mark Kermode the biggest scorer on the board, actually.

0:35:330:35:36

He does an awful lot of TV.

0:35:360:35:37

Four of the people up there do a lot of television.

0:35:370:35:39

There's one who's a brilliant writer, and you knew exactly who she was.

0:35:390:35:42

She's Miranda Sawyer and she was a pointless answer.

0:35:420:35:45

-ALL:

-Oh!

-Would have seen you in the jackpot round

0:35:450:35:48

and would have added £250 to the jackpot.

0:35:480:35:51

B is Brian Sewell.

0:35:510:35:52

The art critic and TV presenter. Would have scored you 15.

0:35:540:35:57

And Jay Rayner there who is a restaurant critic,

0:35:580:36:00

also on TV a lot, and he would have scored you 13 points.

0:36:000:36:04

Well. So the pair leaving us at the end of our head-to-head round,

0:36:060:36:09

I'm afraid, Rayne and Sean. You knew all of those answers.

0:36:090:36:13

It is hard though. It's very hard when the pressure is on,

0:36:130:36:16

the lights are shining on you, you've got to pick.

0:36:160:36:18

Very hard to know.

0:36:180:36:20

It's been a pleasure having you. Rayne and Sean.

0:36:200:36:22

-Thank you so much.

-APPLAUSE

0:36:220:36:25

But for Chev and Danny, it's now time for our Pointless final.

0:36:260:36:29

Well, congratulations, Chev and Danny.

0:36:330:36:35

You've seen off all the competition

0:36:350:36:36

and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy, so very well done.

0:36:360:36:40

You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot

0:36:460:36:48

and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £1,000.

0:36:480:36:52

There it is. Well, you've defied the odds there.

0:36:520:36:55

I think it's your lucky horse top there, Chev.

0:36:550:36:58

I think that's what it must be. Very, very well done.

0:36:580:37:00

As always, you get to choose your category for this last round.

0:37:000:37:03

You have four options to choose from. They are...

0:37:030:37:05

British thriller writers, not my type of reading.

0:37:140:37:17

-No, I've got no idea.

-Cliff Richard.

-No.

0:37:170:37:19

-It's going to have to be the football.

-The football one.

0:37:190:37:22

OK, you're going to go for football.

0:37:220:37:24

-19th-Century Football.

-Yep, three different options here.

0:37:250:37:28

Football fans at home I suspect will do rather well on this.

0:37:280:37:31

One of those ones where if you know your lists, you might do quite well.

0:37:310:37:34

We are looking for...

0:37:340:37:35

Any team who won the English FA Cup in the 19th century.

0:37:350:37:40

We're looking for any English Football League team

0:37:400:37:42

from the 19th century, so anyone who played

0:37:420:37:45

in the top tier of English football up to the 1899 season.

0:37:450:37:48

Or we're looking for any teams in the inaugural season

0:37:480:37:51

of the Scottish Football League, which was 1890-'91.

0:37:510:37:53

So, any 19th-century FA Cup winner,

0:37:530:37:55

19th-century top-tier English football team

0:37:550:37:58

or any teams in the inaugural season of the Scottish Football league.

0:37:580:38:01

-Very best of luck.

-OK, thanks very much.

0:38:010:38:03

As always, you've got one minute to come up with three answers

0:38:030:38:05

and all you need to win

0:38:050:38:07

is for just one of those answers to be pointless.

0:38:070:38:09

-Are you ready?

-Yes.

-OK. Let's put 60 seconds on the clock.

0:38:090:38:13

There they are. Your time starts now.

0:38:130:38:16

-Right, go on, then.

-19th-century FA Cup winners.

0:38:160:38:19

There was the Royal Engineers. The Wanderers.

0:38:190:38:22

-Er...

-Are these their actual names?

-Yeah, yeah.

0:38:230:38:25

Blackburn Rovers won the double.

0:38:250:38:28

Er...

0:38:280:38:29

19th-century English Football League teams.

0:38:290:38:32

Only 12 started the first ever one.

0:38:320:38:33

I think Preston were definitely in it. Bolton Wanderers.

0:38:340:38:37

-What about any Scottish ones?

-Scottish ones...I'm not so sure on.

0:38:370:38:42

Right. Well, go on the other two and we'll pick three.

0:38:420:38:45

Yeah. Er...

0:38:450:38:47

We'll go for the Wanderers.

0:38:470:38:48

Royal Engineers...for the cup winners.

0:38:490:38:53

-And the 19th-century...

-Maybe Carlisle?

-No, no. We're after.

0:38:530:38:58

Come after.

0:38:580:38:59

WHISPERING

0:39:020:39:04

-I'd say...

-Ten seconds left.

-Right, OK. All down to you.

-Cheers.

0:39:050:39:10

-OK, have you got your three, do you think?

-Yeah, we have.

0:39:100:39:13

Well, we will stop the clock.

0:39:130:39:15

Let's have your three answers then.

0:39:150:39:18

-We're going to go for two in the first category, the cup winners.

-OK.

0:39:180:39:22

-And the are the Royal Engineers.

-The Royal Engineers.

-And the Wanderers.

0:39:230:39:27

And the Wanderers.

0:39:270:39:29

And 19th-century English Football League teams. Glossop North End.

0:39:290:39:35

Glossop North End.

0:39:350:39:37

Of those three - they all sound brilliant, by the way -

0:39:370:39:40

which do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?

0:39:400:39:43

-Er... I'll go with Royal Engineers.

-Royal Engineers, we'll put last.

0:39:430:39:47

-Least likely to be pointless?

-Glossop North End.

0:39:470:39:50

Glossop North End. OK.

0:39:500:39:51

Let's pop those answers up on the board in that order.

0:39:510:39:54

And here they are. We have got...

0:39:540:39:56

Well, very, very best of luck.

0:40:010:40:02

Three very good-looking answers up on the board there.

0:40:020:40:05

Your first answer was Glossop North End.

0:40:050:40:07

The one you thought was probably least likely to be pointless.

0:40:070:40:10

Only one has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot.

0:40:100:40:12

£1,000, it's not our biggest ever jackpot, but still!

0:40:120:40:15

Nice thing to take home in your back pocket.

0:40:150:40:17

What would you be doing with that, Chev?

0:40:170:40:19

We took our son to Disneyland in Paris and he absolutely loved it,

0:40:200:40:24

so we'd like to go to the one in Florida with him.

0:40:240:40:26

-Put it towards that.

-OK. Anything else, Danny?

0:40:260:40:29

Well, I'd love to go on a mad tour of Europe

0:40:290:40:32

doing a few more football grounds,

0:40:320:40:33

but no, I'll take the family holiday.

0:40:330:40:36

OK. Well said, Danny. Well said. OK, very, very best of luck.

0:40:360:40:40

Glossop North End, your first answer.

0:40:400:40:42

In this case, we were looking for 19th-century Football League teams.

0:40:420:40:46

Obviously, it has to be correct,

0:40:460:40:47

then it has to be pointless for you to win the jackpot.

0:40:470:40:49

So for £1,000, let's see.

0:40:490:40:51

How many of our 100 people said Glossop North End?

0:40:510:40:54

It's right.

0:40:560:40:57

OK, it's right. That was the first thing it had to be.

0:40:580:41:01

The next thing it has to be is pointless.

0:41:010:41:02

If this goes all the way down to zero, you leave here with £1,000.

0:41:020:41:05

Still going down.

0:41:050:41:06

It's done it. You've done it. Very well done indeed!

0:41:060:41:09

APPLAUSE

0:41:090:41:11

Excellent. Florida, here we come!

0:41:110:41:13

-Very well done.

-Still have two answers left!

0:41:130:41:15

-Oh, well done!

-Oh, very well done. Congratulations.

0:41:180:41:21

Glossop North End was a pointless answer,

0:41:210:41:23

which means you leave here with £1,000.

0:41:230:41:26

-APPLAUSE

-Fantastic, Chev and Danny.

-Well done!

0:41:260:41:29

Absolutely brilliant. Well done.

0:41:310:41:33

Glossop or Glossop North End just couldn't have come better, could it?

0:41:330:41:37

Wanderers - pointless answer.

0:41:370:41:39

Won the very first FA Cup, Wanderers. And Royal Engineers -

0:41:400:41:44

pointless answer! APPLAUSE

0:41:440:41:47

Brilliant! Oh.

0:41:470:41:48

Oh, well done.

0:41:510:41:53

Very, very well played.

0:41:550:41:56

There's lots of pointless answers up here in the different categories.

0:41:560:41:59

Let's take a look. So other 19th-century FA Cup winners.

0:41:590:42:02

Blackburn Olympic would have been a pointless answer.

Old Carthusians was a pointless answer.

0:42:110:42:12

Oxford University also a pointless answer.

0:42:120:42:15

Let's take a look at the teams who played in the English League in the 19th century.

0:42:150:42:18

Bury would have been pointless, Darwen would have been a good answer.

0:42:180:42:21

There's Nottingham Forest again. Wolverhampton Wanderers.

0:42:210:42:24

Accrington. You could have had Newton Heath who became Manchester United

0:42:240:42:28

but were Newton Heath at the time, and Small Heath, as well.

0:42:280:42:31

And the Scottish League.

0:42:310:42:32

A few good answers here as well. Abercorn, who were from Paisley.

0:42:340:42:37

Dumbarton were there. Third Lanark.

0:42:370:42:38

Again, it's one of those ones,

0:42:380:42:40

if you look at your football lists, it's one that you remember.

0:42:400:42:42

Vale of Leven also a pointless answer.

0:42:420:42:44

A couple more on that list.

0:42:440:42:46

Cambuslang or you could have had Cowlairs, as well.

0:42:460:42:48

All of those pointless answers, well done if you said that.

0:42:480:42:50

But very, very rare on this show to get three pointless answers.

0:42:500:42:53

Very, very impressive. I'm sorry it's such a small jackpot.

0:42:530:42:56

It seems a shame, but absolutely brilliant. Congratulations.

0:42:560:42:59

-Thank you.

-Thanks very much.

0:42:590:43:00

Thanks to our winning players, Chev and Danny,

0:43:000:43:03

who go away with today's jackpot of £1,000.

0:43:030:43:05

-Very well done indeed.

-APPLAUSE

0:43:050:43:08

Join us next time

0:43:090:43:11

when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.

0:43:110:43:14

-Meanwhile it's goodbye from Richard.

-Goodbye.

0:43:140:43:16

And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
