0:00:17 > 0:00:19APPLAUSE
0:00:19 > 0:00:24Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and a very warm welcome to Pointless,
0:00:24 > 0:00:29the game where we are always striving to find the lowest score. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32APPLAUSE
0:00:32 > 0:00:34Couple number one.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37I am Bill from Lincolnshire and this is my sister,
0:00:37 > 0:00:40- Kim, from Southsea and Hampshire. - Couple number two.
0:00:40 > 0:00:45Hi, I'm Graham from Blackburn in Lancashire and this is my friend Gary from Chorley in Lancashire.
0:00:45 > 0:00:49- Couple number three.- Hi, I'm Ceres, this is my friend Gav, and we are from Saltash in Cornwall.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51And finally couple number four.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55Hi, my name is Jane and this is my amazing husband, Peter.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58- And these are today's contestants. - APPLAUSE
0:00:58 > 0:01:02We will find out more about each of you throughout the show as it
0:01:02 > 0:01:05goes along. That just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08His ancestors were one of the most proud clans in all of ancient
0:01:08 > 0:01:12Scotland, which is why he never appears on television without
0:01:12 > 0:01:14wearing his trademark ceremonial kilt.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17- It's my pointless friend, it's Richard.- Hiya.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Hi, everybody. APPLAUSE
0:01:20 > 0:01:21Afternoon. Good afternoon to you.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25Three returning pairs, so we've only got one new pair today and that is Gary and Graham.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Can be quite scary if you are a new pair on the show
0:01:28 > 0:01:30- and there are three returners. - Yes, I think that is right.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33I just want to reassure you with a couple of things and that is
0:01:33 > 0:01:37taking our other pairs through some the answers we had on the last show.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39On podium one, we have got Bill,
0:01:39 > 0:01:43who thought that James Bond played Po in Kung Fu Panda.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46On podium three, we have got Gav, who told us
0:01:46 > 0:01:49that John Smith was a British Prime Minister.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52And on podium four, we have got Jane, who not only got Jason Donovan
0:01:52 > 0:01:55mixed up with Johnny Depp, also told us that William Hague was
0:01:55 > 0:01:59a British Prime Minister as well, which is news to William Hague. He was delighted.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03Gary and Graham, you picked a pretty good day to come, I have to say.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06But we had some good answers as well from everybody.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10- We need raised games, I think, today. - That's right. Very good.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14Thanks, Richard. Every question on Pointless has been put to 100 people before the show.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18Today's contestants are looking for a pointless answer,
0:02:18 > 0:02:20that being an answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23Find one of those and we will add 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:02:23 > 0:02:28Now, Jane and Francis did not win the jackpot last time, so we add another £1,000 to that.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Today's jackpot starts off at:
0:02:30 > 0:02:33APPLAUSE
0:02:33 > 0:02:36Right, if everyone is ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39APPLAUSE
0:02:39 > 0:02:42OK, all you have to remember is that the pair with the highest
0:02:42 > 0:02:45score at the end of every round will be eliminated,
0:02:45 > 0:02:48so you have to make sure that is not you.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52Best of luck. Our first category today is:
0:02:53 > 0:02:58It's a words round. Can you all decide in your pairs who is going to go first and second?
0:02:58 > 0:03:02and whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many:
0:03:12 > 0:03:14"I-C-K", Richard.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17We are looking for any word that has its own entry in the Oxford
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Dictionary of English that ends "I-C-K". As always, no proper nouns,
0:03:20 > 0:03:23no hyphenated words or anything like that.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Any word with its own entry in the Oxford Dictionary of English that ends "I-C-K".
0:03:26 > 0:03:29Lots of pointless answers. Very best of luck.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33- Thanks, Richard. So, Kim, welcome back.- Thank you.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37- Remind us what you do. - I'm a geography teacher at a secondary school.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40So, geography teacher, therefore, does that mean you will be
0:03:40 > 0:03:43brilliant at things like capitals and continents and things like that?
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Or you will be brilliant at things like oxbow lakes? Relief rainfall?
0:03:46 > 0:03:52I'm fantastic at oxbow lakes, but I do have a little year seven who tests me on capitals every lesson.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56- What's your little year seven called?- He's called George.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59- Hi, George.- Hey, George. Is George very good at capitals?
0:03:59 > 0:04:03Yeah, he tests me and then I say to him,
0:04:03 > 0:04:06"But I know them all," and he will test me again.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08I know. But I know them all.
0:04:08 > 0:04:09I don't, obviously!
0:04:09 > 0:04:13OK, let's banish all thoughts of capital cities and George.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15We are looking for words ending in "I-C-K".
0:04:15 > 0:04:19I am quite struggling to get more than about five letters here!
0:04:20 > 0:04:23So, I'm going to go for "flick".
0:04:23 > 0:04:26"Flick", says Kim. "Flick". Let's see if that's right,
0:04:26 > 0:04:30and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said "flick".
0:04:37 > 0:04:3835.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41- APPLAUSE - Not too bad.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44- 35 for "flick".- Yes, it's hard on that first podium.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47There's very little thinking time on these words rounds.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50Yeah, to move with a sudden movement of the finger - to flick.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Thank you very much indeed. Now, Graham, welcome to the show.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56- Great to have you here. - Thank you.- Now, you are from...?
0:04:56 > 0:04:58- Blackburn.- Blackburn, that's right.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00So, Blackburn, what do you do up there, Graham?
0:05:00 > 0:05:04Well, I was fortunate enough last year to take early retirement,
0:05:04 > 0:05:07so the problem I've got now is trying to fit in everything
0:05:07 > 0:05:09that I hoped I could have done before I retired.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12So, what have you fitted in so far in the year?
0:05:12 > 0:05:16Well, reading, listening to music, watching football,
0:05:16 > 0:05:20getting involved in amateur dramatics,
0:05:20 > 0:05:22- looking after grandchildren.- Lovely.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26And making a point of getting out and about with my lovely wife Val.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28How many grandchildren have you got?
0:05:28 > 0:05:31- Three, two grandsons and a granddaughter.- What are they called?
0:05:31 > 0:05:33We've got... The older one's Liam, and then Owen,
0:05:33 > 0:05:35and a granddaughter, Eve.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Liam, Owen, and Eve. Hi.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39- Hi.- Hi.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43- They're old enough to be watching the show?- They're 47.
0:05:43 > 0:05:44LAUGHTER
0:05:44 > 0:05:4748, actually, Richard!
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Graham, now, words ending "I-C-K".
0:05:49 > 0:05:53Well, I'm trying to go for something beginning with "un-",
0:05:53 > 0:05:56which normally, you hope not a lot of people will think of,
0:05:56 > 0:05:59- so I'm going with "unpick". - "Unpick".
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Like what you're doing there. "Unpick". Let's see if that's right,
0:06:02 > 0:06:05and let's see how many of our 100 people said "unpick".
0:06:07 > 0:06:09It's right.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12Well, 35's our only score so far. You pass it.
0:06:14 > 0:06:152!
0:06:15 > 0:06:18APPLAUSE
0:06:18 > 0:06:23There's a lesson in Pointless word rounds right there.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25OK, two for "unpick".
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Yeah, you're going to fit right into Pointless, Graham. Terrific answer.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30To undo sewing - to unpick.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33OK, now, Ceres. Welcome back.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35- Head-to-head last time.- Yeah.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39- Head-to-head. Could have been a finalist.- Could have been, yeah.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42- And remind us what you do, Ceres. - I'm a travel agent.- That's right.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45Do you actually get to travel quite a lot? Do you get any freebies?
0:06:45 > 0:06:46Not so much, to be honest.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49No, I think before, back in the day, they used to,
0:06:49 > 0:06:52- but not so much any more.- They were hardly in the office, travel agents!
0:06:52 > 0:06:54They were always off on freebies.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57That's it, yeah. Not so much any more, I'm afraid.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Of all the places right now that you've either visited
0:06:59 > 0:07:01or sent people away to,
0:07:01 > 0:07:04where do you think is the best?
0:07:04 > 0:07:05Personally, I love Cuba.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08I think that is probably my favourite place I've been to.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12I've sent people there, and they all give really good feedback on it,
0:07:12 > 0:07:15and I enjoyed it. Beautiful beaches, and lovely people, and the culture.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18- So, Cuba's probably my number one. - OK, good stuff.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Now, Ceres, what are you going to go for?
0:07:21 > 0:07:26Difficult. I've got three, and two, I think, are too risky.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29It's whether I take the risk or not. I don't know what to do.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33I'm going to go for a slightly safer one. I'm going for "maverick".
0:07:33 > 0:07:36"Maverick". OK. "Maverick".
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Let's hope... I mean, you'd hope a word like that
0:07:38 > 0:07:39would have a nice, low score.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41- People would have forgotten it. - Fingers crossed.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Let's see if it is the maverick that it would like to be.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46"Maverick". How many people said it?
0:07:51 > 0:07:52Keep going...
0:07:54 > 0:07:56- OK.- 4!
0:07:56 > 0:07:59- APPLAUSE - Not bad at all.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04Very well played, Ceres. Yeah, terrific answer.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06Unorthodox person - a maverick.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10- OK. Now then, Pete.- Hi. - Pete, welcome back.- Thank you.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13- Now, children's entertainer. - Yes.- I tell you what...
0:08:13 > 0:08:16We should have asked Pete to... He could have
0:08:16 > 0:08:19done some entertainment between the rounds for us.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22- That's a good idea. - Oh! We should have told him.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25Otherwise, it's down to us, and that rarely goes well, to be honest.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Well, to be honest, yeah. We've done all those tricks,
0:08:27 > 0:08:29and if you saw me in half, one more time, that is...
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Anyway, listen.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34So, what do you wear, Pete, when you do the show?
0:08:34 > 0:08:38I wear a pair of...
0:08:38 > 0:08:40A nice, colourful waistcoat
0:08:40 > 0:08:45and a pair of, basically, culottes in a similar colour.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Bright-coloured socks, and my trousers have got big pockets,
0:08:48 > 0:08:51- so I can put all my balloons and things into them.- Very good.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55- Good stuff. OK, now, Pete. Yes, words ending "I-C-K".- Yes.
0:08:57 > 0:08:58I'm going to go for...
0:08:58 > 0:09:00"derrick".
0:09:00 > 0:09:02- "Derrick". - As in a...
0:09:02 > 0:09:04- I know, yeah. As in a derrick.- Yes!
0:09:04 > 0:09:06So, "derrick", says Pete. Good answer.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said it.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13It is right.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17Let's see where it ends up. Two is our low score, 35 our high.
0:09:17 > 0:09:18You passed 35.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20You almost passed 2!
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Look at that. Very well done.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Yes, "a crane with a movable, pivoting arm". A derrick.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30You see them in oil fields, don't you? And dockyards,
0:09:30 > 0:09:31- and all sorts of things.- You do.
0:09:31 > 0:09:36- We don't see them in oil fields so much.- No.- Dockyards.- Yeah. Yeah.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Thanks very much indeed. We are halfway through the round.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Let's look at those scores.
0:09:40 > 0:09:422, the best score of that pass. Very well done to you, Graham.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45That puts Graham and Gary at the top of the table.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Up to 3, where we find Pete and Jane.
0:09:47 > 0:09:504, Ceres and Gav, and then 35, Kim and Bill.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Now, Bill, a lovely low score from you
0:09:52 > 0:09:55might be enough to keep you in the game, so best of luck with that.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57We'll come back down the line now.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:10:01 > 0:10:05OK, so we are looking for words ending in "I-C-K". Jane.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08- Hello.- Jane, welcome back. - Thank you.- Welcome back to the show.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Now, remind us what you do, Jane.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13I'm a business manager in a school, in a primary school.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15That's absolutely right. And you get holidays off!
0:10:15 > 0:10:18- I get holidays off as well, yes. - Fantastic.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21What are your plans for the next holiday off you have?
0:10:21 > 0:10:24My next holiday off, I am going to try and catch up with friends,
0:10:24 > 0:10:28and I am going to put some serious time in at my allotment,
0:10:28 > 0:10:31because I haven't been up there all winter, and it's looking very weedy.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34OK. Do you know what you're growing this year?
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Yeah, I'm going to attempt to grow broccoli once again,
0:10:36 > 0:10:38even though I'm not very good at it.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40How do you keep the caterpillars out of broccoli?
0:10:40 > 0:10:41I don't, I just let them chew.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44OK, fair enough. Listen, you were on 3.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47The high scorers, on 35, are Bill and Kim.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50If you can score 31 or less, you're in round two.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53OK. I'm going to go for the word "chick".
0:10:53 > 0:10:54The word "chick", says Jane.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57"Chick". OK. Well, there's your red line. It's quite low.
0:10:57 > 0:11:01If you can get below that with "chick", you're in the next round.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03That say how many of our 100 people said "chick".
0:11:10 > 0:11:12You've done it! You're in the next round.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14- 19. - APPLAUSE
0:11:14 > 0:11:1622 is your total.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20A baby bird. Well done, Jane, yes, safely through.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23- Thanks very much indeed. Now, Gav. - Hi.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Welcome back. Thank you very much.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28- Remind us what you do, Gav.- I work in a supermarket as a team leader.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31- What's your team like? How many in your team?- They're good.
0:11:31 > 0:11:32There's about ten of us.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35- Good gang? - Yeah, they're really good, yeah.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Do you get to choose them?
0:11:37 > 0:11:39Do they all line up at the beginning, and you say,
0:11:39 > 0:11:41"I'll have them," and some other team picks,
0:11:41 > 0:11:44- and they take it in turns? - Sadly not.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46It's the same old bunch, but it's a good bunch.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Do you have any mavericks on your team?
0:11:48 > 0:11:50- LAUGHTER - We don't, we don't.
0:11:50 > 0:11:51I think every team needs a maverick.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55Except in a supermarket, obviously. That's not going to help, is it?
0:11:55 > 0:11:57We've got a Goose, but no Maverick.
0:11:57 > 0:11:58LAUGHTER
0:11:58 > 0:12:01You've got a Goose. Well, fair enough. Now, Gav.
0:12:01 > 0:12:034 is what you're on. 30 is what you have to score.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05- 30 or less.- Yeah.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09I've got a word in my head, I don't know whether to take a gamble.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12I don't think it ends in "C-K".
0:12:12 > 0:12:16But I'm going to go for it. And that's "colic".
0:12:16 > 0:12:19"Colic", says Gav. "Colic".
0:12:19 > 0:12:21OK. Now, here's your red line.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25If you get below that red line with "colic", you're in the next round.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Ooh, I wouldn't want to call this one.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30"Colic". Is it right? If it is, how many people said it?
0:12:33 > 0:12:35- BUZZER - Oh, no, Gav!
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Oh, no!
0:12:37 > 0:12:39I'm sorry, that scores you
0:12:39 > 0:12:42100 points, takes your total up to 104.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Yes, spillage on podium three! LAUGHTER
0:12:44 > 0:12:48- Yes, it ends "L-I-C", I'm afraid, colic.- OK. Now, Gary.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52- Gary, welcome. What do you do, Gary?- I'm a postman.
0:12:52 > 0:12:56- Now, that's fun, isn't it?- Well, it would be if I worked in the Bahamas.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58- Ah, yes.- But unfortunately, I work in Chorley.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00You're a postman in Chorley.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03- Are you on a bicycle, on foot, in a van?- I'm on foot.
0:13:03 > 0:13:04Well, both foot and van.
0:13:04 > 0:13:05Foot and van.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09So, any dogs on your round that you particularly...
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Well, you know, as a postman, there are of course
0:13:11 > 0:13:12two tales you're meant to tell.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16And the first one is, the lady comes to the door in the negligee,
0:13:16 > 0:13:18and then there's the one about being bitten by a dog,
0:13:18 > 0:13:20and I've been bitten five times.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22By a dog in a negligee! What about that?
0:13:22 > 0:13:23- LAUGHTER - OK, now, Gary.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25There you are. You're on 2.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27You are through to the next round, come what may.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30I am really chuffed about that, because words was
0:13:30 > 0:13:32one of the subjects I was dreading coming up,
0:13:32 > 0:13:35and I had two or three in my head,
0:13:35 > 0:13:38and I wasn't sure whether they were hyphenated or not.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42Now I can afford to take the risk. So, I'm going to go for "slapstick".
0:13:42 > 0:13:43"Slapstick".
0:13:43 > 0:13:46Very... Oh, they're great on podium two!
0:13:46 > 0:13:49Not bad going, is it? Yeah, I like this. I like this. "Slapstick".
0:13:49 > 0:13:51No red line, you're already through.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54Let's see how many of our 100 people said "slapstick".
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Well, Graham got 2 with "unpick".
0:14:03 > 0:14:05You get 2 with "slapstick". Very well done!
0:14:05 > 0:14:06APPLAUSE
0:14:06 > 0:14:10Absolutely right. Perfect balance there on podium two.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14Well played, Gary and Graham, down from Lancashire, meaning business.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16You know what they say about postmen?
0:14:16 > 0:14:17Always deliver.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19LAUGHTER
0:14:19 > 0:14:20That's...that's good.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22And almost always when you're in the bath.
0:14:22 > 0:14:23LAUGHTER
0:14:23 > 0:14:26Thank you very much indeed. Now, Bill.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29Bill, you were the highest scorers halfway through this round.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32You've been handed something of a lifeline here.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34- Which is very lucky, I think, Xander.- Well, it is.
0:14:34 > 0:14:35It is very lucky indeed.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37We will see you, I hope, in round two.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40Bill, remind us what you used to get up to?
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Well, I used to be a Detective Superintendent,
0:14:43 > 0:14:45- and I retired 11 years ago.- And now?
0:14:45 > 0:14:49Now, I have a life of leisure, and I run a lot,
0:14:49 > 0:14:51and for the last two years,
0:14:51 > 0:14:55I've been voted male athlete of the year for Sleaford Striders.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57- Sleaford Striders?- Yes.- Wow!
0:14:57 > 0:14:58- APPLAUSE - And the Striders, yeah.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's no mean shakes.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04Yeah, the Striders, they take their athletics very seriously there.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Now then, Bill. There we are.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08If you can score 68 or less,
0:15:08 > 0:15:10you're in round two.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13I have got one which I'm not sure of.
0:15:13 > 0:15:14But as there's 68,
0:15:14 > 0:15:17I'm going to go for the word "crick", C-R-I-C-K.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19- Crick.- Crick.
0:15:19 > 0:15:20OK, let's see if that's right,
0:15:20 > 0:15:22and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24There's your red line.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30It is, of course, right, and it sees you through to the next round.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Very well done indeed.
0:15:32 > 0:15:3422 for crick.
0:15:34 > 0:15:35APPLAUSE
0:15:35 > 0:15:3657 is your total.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39- Very well done.- Well played, Bill. Did what you had to do there.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42There's plenty of pointless answers here that you will know.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44Let's take a look at some of them.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46You could have had carsick.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Funnily enough, trainsick also a word,
0:15:48 > 0:15:52which would have been pointless. Catlick, which is a small wash.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Drumstick was a pointless answer, well done if you said that.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Hoick, that would have been a good one, wouldn't it?
0:15:57 > 0:15:59If you'd thought of that you'd have gone for it.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Kinnikinnick, which was also a pointless answer for words
0:16:02 > 0:16:04beginning and ending in K,
0:16:04 > 0:16:05as was - knobstick!
0:16:05 > 0:16:09- Hey!- I remember last time we spent some time talking about knobstick.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11That's completely slipped my mind.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13I don't think the BBC were best delighted,
0:16:13 > 0:16:15- so we shouldn't say knobstick too often now.- Well, no.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17I think there's a limit to how many knobsticks
0:16:17 > 0:16:19- you can have on a programme. - I think so.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21So, let's just forget we ever said knobstick.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23- Let's say knobstick no more.- Yeah.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26Let's put knobstick away and get on with the game.
0:16:27 > 0:16:31- Miskick.- Mm-hm.- Pinprick, also a pointless answer.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35Rollick also pointless, that would have been a good one.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37There's a few others.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40You could have had airbrick, candlewick, firebrick also pointless.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Niblick, golfers might have got, was a pointless answer.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Let's take a look at the top three -
0:16:44 > 0:16:47the ones that most of our hundred people said.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49Pick, on 60...
0:16:49 > 0:16:52sick, on 76...
0:16:52 > 0:16:54and lick, on 84.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58So, at the end of our first round, I'm afraid the pair -
0:16:58 > 0:17:00they were in the head-to-head last time,
0:17:00 > 0:17:02but they're heading home in the first round this time,
0:17:02 > 0:17:05with their high score of 104 it's Gav and Ceres.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08- Oh, I'm so sorry.- Never mind.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10I am so sorry. Yes, colic -
0:17:10 > 0:17:13anciently would have been spelt with a K at the end, I'm sure.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Maybe you're just reading a very old book...
0:17:15 > 0:17:19- about colic, and that's where you've seen it.- You could have had cowlick.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21- Cowlick?- Cowlick, you know, like a little...- Yeah!
0:17:21 > 0:17:24- Cowlick.- That would have been 2 points.- Oh, nice.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26- That's nearly "colick", isn't it? - It's nearly "colick".- Mm.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Oh, but there's a world of difference.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31If you'd said cowlick we wouldn't have to say goodbye to you now,
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Gav and Ceres, but I'm afraid we do.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35It's been great having you on both shows - thank you for playing.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38APPLAUSE
0:17:38 > 0:17:41But for the remaining three pairs it's now time for Round Two.
0:17:46 > 0:17:47So, three pairs remain.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49Obviously, at the end of this round
0:17:49 > 0:17:51we will have to say goodbye to another pair.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54I don't know which pair that's going to be, but Gary and Graham,
0:17:54 > 0:17:57on the strength of that round, I don't think it's going to be you.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59What impeccable wordplay.
0:17:59 > 0:18:00Very, very good.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03Always impressed when people get under the skin of that round
0:18:03 > 0:18:04and know how to find the low score.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06But I think it should be a very good second round.
0:18:06 > 0:18:10Best of luck to all three pairs. Our category for Round Two is:
0:18:12 > 0:18:13Sport.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first and second?
0:18:16 > 0:18:19And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24OK, and the question concerns:
0:18:26 > 0:18:28World Champions. Richard?
0:18:28 > 0:18:31On each board we're going to show you the names of six world championships,
0:18:31 > 0:18:34we need you to tell us who won that world championship in the year shown.
0:18:34 > 0:18:35We'll give you a little clue -
0:18:35 > 0:18:38we'll give you the initials of the person we're looking for.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40There's going to be six on each pass, 12 in all to have a go at home.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42- Good luck.- Thanks very much.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45So, we're looking for the winners of these sporting events
0:18:45 > 0:18:47in the years shown. Here's our first board of six.
0:19:15 > 0:19:16I'll read those all one last time.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39Kim.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42- Great(!)- That board is yours. - Thanks.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45I was dreading sport questions.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48Um, there are one or two that I think I know.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51A couple might be really high scoring,
0:19:51 > 0:19:55so I'm going to go for the ISF Sailing Finn Class world champion,
0:19:55 > 0:19:56- Ben Ainslie.- Ben Ainslie, says Kim.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Let's see if that's right,
0:19:58 > 0:20:01and if it is, how many of our 100 people said Ben Ainslie.
0:20:03 > 0:20:04It's right.
0:20:09 > 0:20:1021.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12APPLAUSE
0:20:12 > 0:20:1421 for Ben Ainslie.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17Well played, Kim. Good decision to go first in the round, as well, I think.
0:20:17 > 0:20:22Yeah, became the most successful Olympic sailor of all time in 2012.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25- See, tactics matter, don't they, in this round?- They do. They do.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27Now then, Graham.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29- Mm!- Graham. How do you like that board?
0:20:29 > 0:20:31Not very well, I'm afraid.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34That's completely different than the previous one.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36In fact, the only one I know has just come to me,
0:20:36 > 0:20:37and I hope it's right.
0:20:37 > 0:20:38Going by the initials,
0:20:38 > 0:20:42I'm going for FIA Formula One Driver World Championship,
0:20:42 > 0:20:45- Lewis Hamilton. - Lewis Hamilton, says Graham.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said it.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49Lewis Hamilton.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52It is right.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Well, 21 is our only score at the moment...
0:20:54 > 0:20:56- 59. For Lewis Hamilton. - APPLAUSE
0:20:59 > 0:21:02Yeah, Lewis Hamilton, big scorer for him at 59.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04- Much more than Ben Ainslie. It's interesting.- Isn't it?
0:21:04 > 0:21:06When you look at the Olympics and things like that,
0:21:06 > 0:21:08it's so big for a short bit of time,
0:21:08 > 0:21:12- but something like F1, it's big all the time, isn't it?- Mm.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14- Now then, Pete.- Yes.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16- This board is yours.- Um...
0:21:16 > 0:21:18Yeah, I think I know, um...
0:21:18 > 0:21:21The first one is possibly Chris Hoy.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24The heavyweight boxing champion is Mike Tyson.
0:21:24 > 0:21:30I don't know the skier, and the bottom one is possibly...
0:21:30 > 0:21:33Haile Gebrselassie. So I'm going to take a punt a the bottom one -
0:21:33 > 0:21:36I think it's Haile Gebrselassie.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38Haile Gebrselassie, says Pete.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Let's see if that's right, and if it is, let's see how
0:21:40 > 0:21:43many of our 100 people said Haile Gebrselassie.
0:21:45 > 0:21:46It's right.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50Well, 21 our low score at the moment.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52You pass it.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54- 7. Well done, Pete. - APPLAUSE
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Very well done indeed.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01Very good answer, Pete. Very well played.
0:22:01 > 0:22:02Good to go for.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04As a child he used to run 10km to school and back every day,
0:22:04 > 0:22:07Haile Gebrselassie. And anyone who's watched him running,
0:22:07 > 0:22:09he's got a very crooked left arm as he runs,
0:22:09 > 0:22:13and they say it's because he used to hold his books under his arm
0:22:13 > 0:22:15when he used to run to and from school.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17- How nice!- It sounds too lovely to be true.- Doesn't it?
0:22:17 > 0:22:20- But it has certainly endured, that story.- Yeah.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23- Oh, that's nice.- Yeah. Let's take a look at the rest of this board.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25You were right about the other two.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27It's Chris Hoy - would have scored you more points, though.
0:22:27 > 0:22:28Would have scored you 37.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31You were right about Mike Tyson, he would have scored you 46.
0:22:31 > 0:22:35Best answer on the board is the downhill skier -
0:22:35 > 0:22:37Lindsey Vonn, the American.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39- Would have scored you 3 points. - Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42We're halfway through the round - let's look at the scores.
0:22:42 > 0:22:447, Pete. Well done. The best score of that round.
0:22:44 > 0:22:45Worth taking that risk.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48Sets you and Jane up quite well, I would say, at this point,
0:22:48 > 0:22:49for the head-to-head.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51Then up to 21, where we find Kim and Bill,
0:22:51 > 0:22:54and then up to 59, Graham, and Gary.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57So, Gary, let's hope you are at home on the next board,
0:22:57 > 0:23:00you can find a nice, low score there to keep you in the game.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02Best of luck. We'll come back down the line now -
0:23:02 > 0:23:04can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:23:06 > 0:23:09OK, let's put six more sporting events up on the board -
0:23:09 > 0:23:10and here they are.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39I'll read those all one last time.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Now, remember, we're looking for the winners of each of these
0:24:05 > 0:24:07sporting events in the years shown,
0:24:07 > 0:24:09and Jane, you're going to try and find the one
0:24:09 > 0:24:11you think the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13Now, Jane, you're looking with dread.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16I know. This is my absolute nightmare - sport.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18I don't know anything about sport whatsoever.
0:24:18 > 0:24:19Um...
0:24:19 > 0:24:24I'm going to go for the World Rowing Coxed Pairs champion.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26I can't think of his surname...
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Steve...
0:24:28 > 0:24:30I'm going to say Steve Rogers.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32I can't think of his surname.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34- Steve Rogers, says Jane.- Yeah.- OK.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37Well, the high scorers are Gary and Graham at the moment on 59.
0:24:37 > 0:24:3951 or less would get you through.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41Steve Rogers - let's see if that's right,
0:24:41 > 0:24:42and if it is, let's see how many of our...
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Let's just see if it's right. Steve Rogers.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46There's your red line.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51Oh, I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54I'm sorry, Jane, takes your total up to 107.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57Sorry, Jane. I'll give the correct answer at the end of the pass.
0:24:57 > 0:24:58OK, now, Gary.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01Whew! That takes a bit of pressure off, doesn't it?
0:25:01 > 0:25:02That does, yes.
0:25:02 > 0:25:03And it's a lot better than Words.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06I think you're going to be OK on this board, aren't you, Gary?
0:25:06 > 0:25:09- You must have a nice, low score. - I think I know most of them.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12I have a name for the swimming one, but it seems a bit early,
0:25:12 > 0:25:14so I'm going to go for the World Equestrian Games
0:25:14 > 0:25:15and say Zara Phillips.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17Zara Phillips, says Gary.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19There's your red line.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22Get below that with Zara Phillips, you're through to the next round.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25Let's see how many people said Zara Phillips.
0:25:27 > 0:25:28It's right.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32You done it - very well done. Just!
0:25:32 > 0:25:33- APPLAUSE - 39.
0:25:34 > 0:25:3898 is your total, Gary, well done. You're in the head-to-head.
0:25:38 > 0:25:39Yeah, well played, Gary.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43You can take us through some of the other answers when the round is over.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Thanks very much indeed.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47Now, Bill, the board is all yours.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49Do you fancy talking us through it?
0:25:49 > 0:25:52The, um, butterfly is Michael Phelps.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54The gymnastics is Nadia Comaneci.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56The coxed pairs is Steve Redgrave...
0:25:56 > 0:25:58but I don't know the next two.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00Which of those do you want to go for?
0:26:00 > 0:26:03I'm going to go for Nadia Comaneci.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06Nadia Comaneci, says Bill. OK.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08There's your red line. Nice and high.
0:26:08 > 0:26:09Get below that with Nadia Comaneci
0:26:09 > 0:26:11and you're through to the head-to-head.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14Let's see how many people said it - is it right?
0:26:17 > 0:26:21Absolutely right, and through you go.
0:26:21 > 0:26:2316. Good answer.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26APPLAUSE
0:26:26 > 0:26:2837 is your total. Lovely low total there.
0:26:28 > 0:26:29Well played, Bill.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32Yeah, the first female gymnast to be given a perfect score of 10
0:26:32 > 0:26:34in an Olympic gymnastic event.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37And you chose the right one of the ones you knew, actually -
0:26:37 > 0:26:38it is Michael Phelps -
0:26:38 > 0:26:40that's who I presume you were thinking of, Gary, as well.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42Yeah, it just seemed very early for him.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44He's been around a long time, Michael Phelps.
0:26:44 > 0:26:4610 points for that.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49It is Steve Redgrave - that name ring a bell? Yeah.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51Would have scored 47 points.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53The triple jump champion is Jonathan Edwards.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Yeah, Jonathan Edwards. That would have scored 30.
0:26:55 > 0:27:00And the squash player, best answer on the board, is Nick Matthew,
0:27:00 > 0:27:022013 world squash champion. Nick Matthew.
0:27:02 > 0:27:03Very well done if you said that at home.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05Thanks very much indeed.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07So, at the end of our second the pair who are heading home
0:27:07 > 0:27:11with their high score of 107, I'm afraid, Jane and Pete.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14- Oh...- It wasn't to be. - It wasn't to be.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16If you'd just got into the head-to-head, you see,
0:27:16 > 0:27:18you could have conferred on all your questions,
0:27:18 > 0:27:19and it would have been fine.
0:27:19 > 0:27:23- I was trying to kind of... - Telepathy.- Yeah, I'm sorry.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25Pointless caught up with you there, I'm afraid, Jane.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27I'm sorry. We have to say goodbye to you.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29But it's been great having you on the show -
0:27:29 > 0:27:31- thank you so much for playing. Jane and Pete.- Thank you.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33APPLAUSE
0:27:33 > 0:27:35But for Gary and Graham and Kim and Bill,
0:27:35 > 0:27:37it's now time for the head-to-head.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43Congratulations Kim and Bill, Gary and Graham -
0:27:43 > 0:27:45you're now one step closer to the final
0:27:45 > 0:27:47and a chance to play for our jackpot,
0:27:47 > 0:27:49which currently stands at £4,000.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55So, here's where we decide who gets to play for that money.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57And to do that, you're now going to go head-to-head.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00You're now allowed to confer before you give your answers,
0:28:00 > 0:28:02and the first pair to win two questions
0:28:02 > 0:28:03will be playing for that jackpot.
0:28:03 > 0:28:07Well, Kim and Bill, you were early exiters last time - Round One.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09- Now look at you!- Exactly.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12Oh! How the fallen have been made mighty.
0:28:12 > 0:28:13We do feel very good about that, Xander.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15Wonderful, wonderful.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18Gary and Graham - first ever appearance on Pointless.
0:28:18 > 0:28:22I knew from the minute we had "unpick" and "slapstick",
0:28:22 > 0:28:23I knew you were good.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25It's very exciting. Best of luck to both pairs.
0:28:25 > 0:28:26Let's play the head-to-head.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34OK, here comes your first question, and it concerns:
0:28:37 > 0:28:38Fathers and Sons - Richard.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41We're going to show you pictures, now, of five sons of famous fathers -
0:28:41 > 0:28:45we just need you to name the fathers, please. Very best of luck.
0:28:45 > 0:28:49OK, let's reveal our five pictures - and here they are.
0:28:49 > 0:28:50We've got...
0:29:08 > 0:29:11There we are. Five sons of famous fathers.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14Kim and Bill, you've scored lowest throughout the show so far,
0:29:14 > 0:29:15so you will go first.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17Which ones do you know?
0:29:17 > 0:29:19I only know B, and that's Ozzy Osbourne.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23Right, we think we know three.
0:29:23 > 0:29:27We're going to go for B, Ozzy Osbourne.
0:29:27 > 0:29:30Ozzy Osbourne. B, Ozzy Osbourne.
0:29:30 > 0:29:32So, Gary and Graham, do you fancy taking us
0:29:32 > 0:29:34through the rest of the board?
0:29:34 > 0:29:36We're not sure about C and D, are we? We think we know A and E.
0:29:36 > 0:29:38E's going to be very high scoring,
0:29:38 > 0:29:41because that's going to be Harry Redknapp.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43And we think that A is John Lennon, don't we? So...
0:29:43 > 0:29:45- What do we think? John Lennon?- Mm.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48Yeah, so, we think A, we'll go with John Lennon.
0:29:48 > 0:29:49You're going to say A, John Lennon.
0:29:49 > 0:29:54So, we have B, Ozzy Osbourne and A, John Lennon.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56Kim and Bill have said B, Ozzy Osbourne.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59Let's see if that right, let's see how many people said it.
0:30:01 > 0:30:02It's right.
0:30:05 > 0:30:06- 48. - APPLAUSE
0:30:11 > 0:30:1248.
0:30:12 > 0:30:16Now, Gary and Graham, you have said that A is the son of John Lennon.
0:30:16 > 0:30:20Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said that.
0:30:26 > 0:30:27Wow!
0:30:29 > 0:30:30- 26. - APPLAUSE
0:30:31 > 0:30:32Wow.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34So, the father was more famous than Jesus -
0:30:34 > 0:30:37the son is less famous than Jack Osbourne.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39That's quite something. But very well done -
0:30:39 > 0:30:42Gary and Graham, after one question, you are up 1-0.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44Yes, Julian Lennon and Jack Osbourne, there.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47Funnily enough, E is an even lower answer - Jamie Redknapp, there,
0:30:47 > 0:30:49the son of Harry Redknapp, of course -
0:30:49 > 0:30:51- would have scored you 23 points.- Wow.
0:30:51 > 0:30:54C is a pointless answer -
0:30:54 > 0:30:58it is Jacob Dylan, Bob Dylan's son. Very well done if you said that.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00And D - he does look like his dad.
0:31:00 > 0:31:01Is it Tom Hanks' son?
0:31:01 > 0:31:03It is Tom Hanks' son, yeah.
0:31:03 > 0:31:05Colin Hanks, also an actor.
0:31:05 > 0:31:06And that would have scored you 16 points.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08Thanks very much indeed.
0:31:08 > 0:31:09Here comes your second question.
0:31:09 > 0:31:13Now then, Kim and Bill, you have to win this one to stay in the game.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15And, worse still, Gary and Graham get to answer it first.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17But best of luck. It concerns:
0:31:21 > 0:31:22Owls. Richard.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25What more could you want at this time of the evening
0:31:25 > 0:31:26than five clues to facts about owls?
0:31:26 > 0:31:29Can you give us the most obscure answer, please?
0:31:29 > 0:31:32OK, let's reveal our five clues about owls - and here they come.
0:31:32 > 0:31:33We've got...
0:31:53 > 0:31:54I'll read those all one last time.
0:32:12 > 0:32:13There we are.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15Five clues to facts about owls.
0:32:15 > 0:32:16Gary and Graham, you go first.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20The bottom one's definitely The Sword In The Stone.
0:32:20 > 0:32:21Yeah, yeah.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25Right, we can have a guess at two or three of them,
0:32:25 > 0:32:27but we think that we'll go for the bottom one,
0:32:27 > 0:32:30and we think that's The Sword In The Stone.
0:32:30 > 0:32:33The Sword In The Stone, say Gary and Graham. The Sword In The Stone.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35Now, Kim and Bill, do you want to talk us through
0:32:35 > 0:32:36the rest of the board?
0:32:36 > 0:32:39Can't remember the Greek goddess for Minerva.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42I think that Tyto alba might be the snowy owl.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45We know that the Owls are Sheffield Wednesday,
0:32:45 > 0:32:48and we know that the Pussycat went to sea
0:32:48 > 0:32:51in a beautiful pea-green boat with the Owl.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53We're going to go for Sheffield Wednesday.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55Sheffield Wednesday, the Owls.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58So, we have The Sword In The Stone and we have Sheffield Wednesday.
0:32:58 > 0:32:59Now, Gary and Graham,
0:32:59 > 0:33:03you've said the Disney animated film was The Sword In The Stone.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06Let's see how many people said that, if it's right.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09It's right.
0:33:14 > 0:33:16- 19. - APPLAUSE
0:33:20 > 0:33:2219 for The Sword In The Stone.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25Now, Kim and Bill have said that the Owls are Sheffield Wednesday.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said that.
0:33:30 > 0:33:31OK, it's right.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33You have to win this one to stay in the game,
0:33:33 > 0:33:34which means it has to go lower than 19.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37Is it going to go...? Oh, no. 30.
0:33:37 > 0:33:38APPLAUSE
0:33:40 > 0:33:43Which means, very well done, Gary and Graham,
0:33:43 > 0:33:46you are straight through to the final, 2-0 after two questions.
0:33:46 > 0:33:47Yeah, very well played.
0:33:47 > 0:33:51The best answer up there would have been the goddess, and it's Athena.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54Athena, yeah, would have scored 4 points.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57The owl - it's not the snowy owl, it's the barn owl.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00Sometimes called the screech owl, cos they don't hoot.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03They screech - or they hiss, and they yap, and snore, but they don't hoot.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06- That's slightly less cute, isn't it? - And they sing sometimes.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09Oh, beautiful. Beautiful songs. Shanties.
0:34:09 > 0:34:13Yes, they do. You're quite - yeah, why not? OK.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15And it was the Pussycat - the biggest scorer, though.
0:34:15 > 0:34:20Would have scored you 66, so Athena is the best answer up there.
0:34:20 > 0:34:22Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24So, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round -
0:34:24 > 0:34:27I'm afraid it's Kim and Bill.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29You've done so well throughout the show!
0:34:29 > 0:34:32Then you came up against the mighty Gary and Graham.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34Kim and Bill, it's been great having you on both shows.
0:34:34 > 0:34:35Thank you so much for playing.
0:34:35 > 0:34:38I'm sorry you're leaving so soon - Kim and Bill.
0:34:38 > 0:34:39APPLAUSE
0:34:39 > 0:34:42But for Gary and Graham it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48Congratulations, Gary and Graham -
0:34:48 > 0:34:50you've seen off all the competition,
0:34:50 > 0:34:52and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot,
0:35:00 > 0:35:03and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £4,000.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05APPLAUSE
0:35:08 > 0:35:11I tell you what, I don't fancy the jackpot's chances.
0:35:11 > 0:35:16I think we knew from Round One - very, very strong performance.
0:35:16 > 0:35:182-0 in the head-to-head, into the final.
0:35:18 > 0:35:20As always, you get to choose your category.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23There are four options on the board - let's see what they are.
0:35:23 > 0:35:24We've got...
0:35:32 > 0:35:34US Cities In Popular Culture?
0:35:34 > 0:35:36Yeah, what do you think?
0:35:36 > 0:35:39- Shall we...? - Yeah, we've more chance!
0:35:39 > 0:35:42- Yeah, OK.- US Cities?- Yeah, OK.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44We'll go for US Cities In Popular Culture, please.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46US Cities In Popular Culture, Rich.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48OK, good luck, gents. You've been terrific so far.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50Hopefully something here will fit the bill for you.
0:35:50 > 0:35:55We are looking for anybody credited in the cast of the film Chicago,
0:35:55 > 0:36:00so anybody with an IMDB credit for Chicago, the 2002 musical film,
0:36:00 > 0:36:04any actor who was in the original AND the new Dallas TV series,
0:36:04 > 0:36:07so any actor credited in both of those, the new and the old ones,
0:36:07 > 0:36:10or any artists who have had a UK hit single or album
0:36:10 > 0:36:11with Vegas in the title.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13So, the cast of the film Chicago,
0:36:13 > 0:36:16actors in both the original and new Dallas TV series,
0:36:16 > 0:36:20or any artists who have had a UK top 40 hit single or album
0:36:20 > 0:36:22with Vegas in the title.
0:36:22 > 0:36:23OK, now, as always,
0:36:23 > 0:36:26you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:36:26 > 0:36:27All you need to win that jackpot
0:36:27 > 0:36:30is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:36:30 > 0:36:32- Are you ready?- Yeah.- Yes.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37There they are. Your time starts now.
0:36:37 > 0:36:41- Um, ZZ Top.- Yeah, ZZ Top, I think, for the Vegas one.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43I don't think it's...
0:36:43 > 0:36:45The Killers must've had a song with Vegas in it...
0:36:45 > 0:36:48- Yeah, but I can't think of any. - I can't think of any.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51What about the Chicago - what was the name of the girl...?
0:36:51 > 0:36:54- The woman who played...- I've not seen the film.- Have you not?
0:36:54 > 0:36:57No. If you know one of the answers, we'll have a go on that.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59What about - the original AND the new series -
0:36:59 > 0:37:01it's got to be one of the big names.
0:37:01 > 0:37:02You'd think they'd all be well known.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05We're going to have to go for Elvis, as well, for Viva Las Vegas.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08There must be something else... Leaving Las Vegas...
0:37:08 > 0:37:12Um... Charlene Tilton, was she in the original one of Dallas?
0:37:12 > 0:37:14Yeah, that's a good shout - shall we go for that, then?
0:37:14 > 0:37:18- Yeah.- Charlene Tilton, ZZ Top and...
0:37:18 > 0:37:21I can't think of what...
0:37:21 > 0:37:26She was a Black actress, and she played the, um...
0:37:26 > 0:37:27Ten seconds left.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29I haven't seen it, I don't know.
0:37:29 > 0:37:32I'm trying to think of an album with Vegas in the title...
0:37:34 > 0:37:37- No, we'd better go with those. - Right...
0:37:37 > 0:37:38OK, that's your time up.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41Sounds like you've arrived at three answers, anyway.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43Let's have them.
0:37:43 > 0:37:47So, we'll go for Elvis Presley and ZZ Top -
0:37:47 > 0:37:50not featuring Elvis Presley and ZZ Top...!
0:37:50 > 0:37:52What a pairing, though! What about that?
0:37:52 > 0:37:54- Both of them for Viva Las Vegas.- OK.
0:37:54 > 0:37:57Elvis Presley, ZZ Top - and your third answer?
0:37:57 > 0:38:01- Well.. Go on, Gaz.- We'll go for Charlene Tilton for Dallas.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03- Charlene Tilton for the Dallas.- Yes.
0:38:03 > 0:38:04OK, of those three,
0:38:04 > 0:38:06which do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:06 > 0:38:09- ZZ Top?- I think the Charlene Tilton one, probably.
0:38:09 > 0:38:10- Well, if it's right.- Yeah, yeah.
0:38:10 > 0:38:12OK, Charlene Tilton we'll pop last.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14- OK, first one on the board, least likely?- Elvis -
0:38:14 > 0:38:15- everybody will get Elvis.- Elvis, OK.
0:38:15 > 0:38:17We'll put Elvis at the top of the board.
0:38:17 > 0:38:19OK, let's pop those up on the board in that order.
0:38:19 > 0:38:21And here they are.
0:38:21 > 0:38:25We have Elvis Presley, we have ZZ Top and we have Charlene Tilton.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27Well, best of luck.
0:38:27 > 0:38:30Your first answer was Elvis Presley.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33Now, you thought this was probably the least likely to be pointless.
0:38:33 > 0:38:37But let's just say one of these answers wins that prize for you -
0:38:37 > 0:38:38what would you do with it, Gary?
0:38:38 > 0:38:40Um, I'd go to Vegas!
0:38:40 > 0:38:42It seems obvious now, doesn't it?
0:38:42 > 0:38:44Yes, that's where the money will be heading.
0:38:44 > 0:38:49- Graham?- Well, we're celebrating 40 great years -
0:38:49 > 0:38:52wedding anniversary this time, and although we've already got
0:38:52 > 0:38:55four breaks lined up, I'm sure we can squeeze in another one.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57I think you could - I'm sure you could.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59Well, best of luck. It'd be lovely to see you take this home.
0:38:59 > 0:39:03As I say, Elvis Presley was your least confident answer
0:39:03 > 0:39:05for album or single with Vegas in the title.
0:39:05 > 0:39:08If it's right, if it's pointless, it'll win you £4,000.
0:39:08 > 0:39:10Let's see how many people said Elvis Presley.
0:39:13 > 0:39:14Well, obviously it's right.
0:39:14 > 0:39:17I think that would've been a surprise if that'd been wrong.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19Down it goes - Elvis takes us down through the 40s...
0:39:19 > 0:39:21Is it going to stop in the 30s?
0:39:21 > 0:39:22No, still going, in the 20s.
0:39:22 > 0:39:2326, look at that.
0:39:23 > 0:39:24APPLAUSE
0:39:26 > 0:39:28I think that's quite reassuring, isn't it?
0:39:28 > 0:39:30- I mean, obviously not a pointless answer...- Mm.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32- But if Elvis can only score 26... - Mm, mm.
0:39:32 > 0:39:34..it's looking very good for ZZ Top, I can't help thinking.
0:39:34 > 0:39:37But anyway, only two more chances to win today's jackpot.
0:39:37 > 0:39:40Your second answer is, of course, ZZ Top.
0:39:40 > 0:39:43Again, in that category of Vegas in the title of a single or an album.
0:39:43 > 0:39:45Let's find out if it's right, and if it's pointless,
0:39:45 > 0:39:46it'll win you £4,000.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48How many people said ZZ Top?
0:39:50 > 0:39:52It's right.
0:39:52 > 0:39:55So, Elvis was right - took us all the way down to 26.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57ZZ Top taking us down - I bet they pass 26.
0:39:57 > 0:39:59Yes, they do.
0:39:59 > 0:40:00Into the teens, into single figures -
0:40:00 > 0:40:02still going down, still going!
0:40:02 > 0:40:033 for ZZ Top.
0:40:03 > 0:40:04APPLAUSE
0:40:04 > 0:40:06Whoa-ho!
0:40:09 > 0:40:11Oh, I was getting all excited there.
0:40:11 > 0:40:12- 3.- Mm.
0:40:14 > 0:40:15So, not a pointless answer.
0:40:15 > 0:40:18You have one more crack at today's jackpot.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20Everything is now riding on your third and final answer -
0:40:20 > 0:40:22Charlene Tilton.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25- You weren't entirely sure if this was right.- No.- No.
0:40:25 > 0:40:26Well, it could be.
0:40:26 > 0:40:27Phew! Let's find out.
0:40:27 > 0:40:31To win the jackpot, it has to be right, then it has to be pointless.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33For £4,000, how many people said Charlene Tilton?
0:40:33 > 0:40:34Is it pointless?
0:40:37 > 0:40:39It's right!
0:40:39 > 0:40:41Charlene Tilton is a correct answer.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44Now, your first answer, Elvis Presley, took us down to 26.
0:40:44 > 0:40:47Your second answer, ZZ Top, took us down to 3.
0:40:47 > 0:40:49Charlene Tilton in single figures - down she goes.
0:40:49 > 0:40:50- Still going - oh, no!- Oh...
0:40:50 > 0:40:53- GROANS AND APPLAUSE - Oh, no.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58Oh, gents, I am so sorry.
0:40:59 > 0:41:01Oh, I was sure that was going all the way down.
0:41:01 > 0:41:03Mm, debatable, isn't it?
0:41:03 > 0:41:05Well, three excellent answers there.
0:41:05 > 0:41:08And obviously Elvis was going to be a high score,
0:41:08 > 0:41:10but the other two - there was no reason
0:41:10 > 0:41:12why they shouldn't have gone all the way down to the bottom.
0:41:12 > 0:41:14But I'm afraid to say they didn't.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17Which means you don't win today's jackpot of £4,000.
0:41:17 > 0:41:19That will roll over onto the next show -
0:41:19 > 0:41:21but we so enjoyed having you on the show.
0:41:21 > 0:41:23You've done such a good turn here. I mean, brilliant.
0:41:23 > 0:41:27And you get a Pointless trophy each to take home to show for it, so...
0:41:27 > 0:41:28APPLAUSE
0:41:28 > 0:41:30I'm sorry it's not the jackpot.
0:41:32 > 0:41:34Yeah, we said at the start, Gary and Graham,
0:41:34 > 0:41:36you were the pair to watch, and you proved us right.
0:41:36 > 0:41:37It's a terrific performance.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40Viva Las Vegas released by both Elvis and ZZ Top -
0:41:40 > 0:41:42ZZ Top actually had a bigger hit with it.
0:41:42 > 0:41:43Elvis didn't reach the top ten with it.
0:41:43 > 0:41:47And Charlene Tilton was Lucy Ewing in Dallas old and new.
0:41:47 > 0:41:49You were trying to think of the name of the actress
0:41:49 > 0:41:52- who played Mama Morton in Chicago... - Mama something.- It's Queen Latifah.
0:41:52 > 0:41:55- Queen Latifah!- Queen Latifah. And she was a pointless answer as well.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57THEY GROAN
0:41:57 > 0:42:00But 60 seconds sometimes is just not quite long enough
0:42:00 > 0:42:02to fire up the brain cells.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05Let's take a look at some other pointless answers for Chicago.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07You could have had Dominic West.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10John C Reilly plays Amos Hart, sings Mr Cellophane in that.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12Lucy Liu, who plays Kitty Baxter,
0:42:12 > 0:42:14and there's Queen Latifah, who plays Mama Morton -
0:42:14 > 0:42:16all of those pointless answers.
0:42:16 > 0:42:18Let's take a look at some Dallas cast members.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21Audrey Landers, you could've had, Brenda Strong, Deborah Shelton,
0:42:21 > 0:42:23Joan Van Ark would've been a very good answer.
0:42:23 > 0:42:25Also Ted Shackelford who played Gary Ewing in both series,
0:42:25 > 0:42:27he was a pointless answer.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30And artists who've had a hit single or album -
0:42:30 > 0:42:34Celine Dion had a Live From Vegas album, that was a pointless answer.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36Conor Maynard had a top ten hit in 2012 with Vegas Girl.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38Deacon Blue would've been a pointless answer.
0:42:38 > 0:42:41Sleeper, the Britpop band, also had a single called Vegas,
0:42:41 > 0:42:42which was a top 40 hit.
0:42:42 > 0:42:45Cocteau Twins and Dirty Vegas, as well, were pointless answers.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47Very well done if you said any of those at home.
0:42:47 > 0:42:48Thanks very much indeed.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51Unfortunately we have to say goodbye to you, Gary and Graham,
0:42:51 > 0:42:53but it's been brilliant having you on the show.
0:42:53 > 0:42:54Thank you so much for playing.
0:42:54 > 0:42:56Gary and Graham, great contestants.
0:42:56 > 0:42:58APPLAUSE
0:42:59 > 0:43:02Well, sadly Gary and Graham didn't win our jackpot today,
0:43:02 > 0:43:05which means it rolls over onto the next show,
0:43:05 > 0:43:06when we will be playing for £5,000.
0:43:09 > 0:43:10Join us next time to see if someone can win it.
0:43:10 > 0:43:13- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...- Goodbye.
0:43:13 > 0:43:15..and it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
