0:00:44 > 0:00:45I'm from South Oxfordshire,
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Eleanor's from down the road in Reading.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Finally, couple number four.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53Hi, my name's Pippa, this is Ben. We're work colleagues from Kent.
0:00:53 > 0:00:54These are today's contestants.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57APPLAUSE
0:00:57 > 0:00:59Thanks, all of you, we'll find out more about you
0:00:59 > 0:01:01throughout the show as it goes along.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04That just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07His new boyband, IQ, have just sold out in over two locations
0:01:07 > 0:01:09in Bournemouth already this year.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Hiya. Hi, everybody.
0:01:13 > 0:01:14APPLAUSE
0:01:17 > 0:01:20- How are you?- I'm very well. - Familiar faces here, aren't they?
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Three returning pairs from last time.
0:01:23 > 0:01:24Brenda and Brian on podium one,
0:01:24 > 0:01:28we gave them pop music in round one, so we didn't see too much of them.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Hopefully see a bit more of them.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34Head-to-head we had Amy and Ben, or Amy and Ben A, or Amy and Big Ben.
0:01:34 > 0:01:40They did very well. On podium four we've got Little Ben and Pippa.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Pippa gave Mrs Tiggy-Winkle a sex change in the last show.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45LAUGHTER
0:01:45 > 0:01:47That's a prickly business, isn't it?
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Yeah, you wouldn't want to, would you?
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Podium three, welcome.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55Welcome, Eleanor and Karen, to the party of old friends.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57Thanks very much, Richard.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59As usual, all of today's questions have been put
0:01:59 > 0:02:01to 100 people before the show.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Our contestants are on the hunt for a pointless answer -
0:02:04 > 0:02:06an answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Each time that happens, we will add 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Steve and Ruth didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:02:11 > 0:02:13so we add another £1,000 to that.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Today's jackpot starts off at...
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25APPLAUSE
0:02:27 > 0:02:30All you have to remember is that the pair with the highest score
0:02:30 > 0:02:32at the end of each round will be eliminated.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Our first category today is...
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Famous People. Can you decide in your pairs
0:02:39 > 0:02:41who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50OK, the question concerns...
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Surnames beginning with B, Richard.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58On each pass there's going to be seven descriptions
0:02:58 > 0:03:00of famous people whose surnames begin with B.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02You need to give us the most obscure answers.
0:03:02 > 0:03:0414 to have a go at at home.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07OK, so let's put our first board of seven up. Here they are.
0:03:09 > 0:03:10ALEXANDER READS OPTIONS
0:03:32 > 0:03:34I'll read those all one last time.
0:03:57 > 0:03:58There we are, seven clues to seven people
0:03:58 > 0:04:01whose surnames begin with a B.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04Brenda, welcome back to Pointless.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07- Last time around, it was round one we said goodbye to you.- It was.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12This time you've got to hope to do better than that.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Are you happy with this as a category?
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Not bad. Not bad. I know a few.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18OK, you're here from Clacton-on-Sea, Brenda.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20What do you like getting up to there?
0:04:20 > 0:04:22I'm a lady what lunches now I'm retired.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Now we're talking.
0:04:24 > 0:04:25How often do you lunch?
0:04:26 > 0:04:28- Once every few weeks.- Daily?
0:04:28 > 0:04:29- No, not daily. - LAUGHTER
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Well, we all lunch. Lunch with the ladies.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33I go up to London and see my friends.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Very good indeed. That's a nice thing to do.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39Good stuff. Brenda, what are you going to go for on this board?
0:04:39 > 0:04:41A board of Bs, like a beard of bees.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43I know a few, I don't know whether I want to take a chance.
0:04:43 > 0:04:44I think I will.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48He wrote the song I Say A Little Prayer.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52- I think it might be Burt Bacharach. - Burt Bacharach, says Brenda.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many said Burt Bacharach.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59It is, of course, Burt Bacharach.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05- Yeah!- 14, well done, Brenda.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13That's a terrific answer. Great start from podium one.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17Six Grammys, four wives and three Oscars, Burt Bacharach.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Thanks, Richard.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23Now, Amy, welcome back. So you are a medical student in your fourth year.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26- Yep.- What are your interests, Amy?
0:05:26 > 0:05:29So I do netball and do a lot of music as well.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31I like travelling as well.
0:05:31 > 0:05:32OK. What sort of music?
0:05:32 > 0:05:36We discovered about the oboe last time, what other music?
0:05:36 > 0:05:39I'm in an orchestra and I'm also in a choir.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Good stuff. So what are you going for on this board?
0:05:42 > 0:05:43Feeling happy about this?
0:05:43 > 0:05:46I know a few and I know a couple of the obvious ones,
0:05:46 > 0:05:50but I think the bottom one, she used to be a nurse, now she's a comedian.
0:05:50 > 0:05:51I think it's Jo Brand.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Jo Brand, says Amy.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said Jo Brand.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01Absolutely right.
0:06:01 > 0:06:0314 is our low score at the moment. Jo Brand
0:06:03 > 0:06:04gets you down to 26.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Well played, Amy. Won a BAFTA for her role in that. Co-wrote it.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Directed by Peter Capaldi as well, Getting On.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Thanks, Richard. Karen, welcome to the show.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23Great to have you here. What do you do, Karen?
0:06:23 > 0:06:26I'm a librarian. I work in a sixth form college.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28What are your hobbies?
0:06:28 > 0:06:32I enjoy music. I play the trombone and do a bit of singing.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Excellent.
0:06:34 > 0:06:39I also enjoy baking. I do novelty cake making on the side.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Are you responsible for the cake that is sitting next to Richard?
0:06:42 > 0:06:43I think I may be, yes.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47- Look at this.- I never tire of seeing myself made in sugar.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49How about that?!
0:06:49 > 0:06:51APPLAUSE
0:06:58 > 0:07:00- This is what I like to do when we've got a little cake.- There you go.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05Oh, my God! It's anatomically correct. I've got a spike like that.
0:07:07 > 0:07:08Yeah.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Eh. Oh, spineless.
0:07:12 > 0:07:17That's me doing the javelin at the London Olympics. Is it tasty?
0:07:17 > 0:07:18Oh, you bet.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20- What's inside it? - It's the chocolate cake, that one.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Oh.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Karen, that's amazing. Even those numbers are amazing.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27If you can get the same score as one of these numbers,
0:07:27 > 0:07:29you'll get an extra special prize. I don't know what it is.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31The only thing I've got is my pen,
0:07:31 > 0:07:33you'll win my pen if you can get the same number.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Mm. Wow.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Sorry, yes, Karen. There we go. Karen, yes. Bs.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41- OK.- Famous people beginning with B.
0:07:41 > 0:07:42Yeah, a couple there I know.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45I'm going to go for the dancer, choreographer, actor,
0:07:45 > 0:07:47who I think must be Lionel Blair.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Lionel Blair.
0:07:49 > 0:07:50Lionel Blair, says Karen.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00It is right. 26 is our high score at this point, 14 our low.
0:08:00 > 0:08:0139 for Lionel Blair.
0:08:07 > 0:08:12Just looking to see if I can see 39 on there anywhere. You got 29.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15That was close. No, afraid not.
0:08:15 > 0:08:16That's a shame, isn't it?
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Yeah, Lionel Blair. Very good answer, though.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Good cake, good answer.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24- Born Henry Lionel Ogus, Lionel Blair. - Really?
0:08:24 > 0:08:26- Yeah.- OK, thanks, Richard.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Now, then, Ben.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Welcome back. Remind us what you do.
0:08:30 > 0:08:31I'm an outdoors instructor
0:08:31 > 0:08:34or activities instructor in the outdoors.
0:08:34 > 0:08:35"In the outdoors."
0:08:35 > 0:08:38Well, that seems the sensible place to do it.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40- Are your hobbies aligned with your career?- Yes.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43- Did you always have a hankering? - Yeah, exactly aligned, yeah.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46Anything climbing or snow-based, I love.
0:08:46 > 0:08:47Excellent. Good stuff.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50Do you take expeditions abroad and things like that as well?
0:08:50 > 0:08:52I haven't done yet,
0:08:52 > 0:08:55but that is something I'm looking to do in the future.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57OK, there we are, Ben, that board is all yours.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59There are four unanswered clues there.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Do you fancy taking us through them?
0:09:02 > 0:09:05My dad, if he were watching this, he'd probably be shouting at me,
0:09:05 > 0:09:09but unfortunately I don't know the real name of Beefy.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13I think the second one might be Michael Buble.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15The third one I feel like I should know cos
0:09:15 > 0:09:17I feel like I should know the song.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20The fourth one, there, is Christian Bale.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23I'm just trying to decide which one to go for.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28I think I'm going to go for Christian Bale.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31OK, Christian Bale, says Ben. Let's see if that's right,
0:09:31 > 0:09:34let's see how many of our 100 people said Christian Bale.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38It's right.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41Well, 39 our high score, 14 our low.
0:09:41 > 0:09:4240. New high score, Ben.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49I'll just get my pen out of my pen holder.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55There we go. Well played, everybody, on that round.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Let's fill in the rest of this board.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00- Cricketer named Beefy?- Botham.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Ian Botham, yeah. Would have scored 65.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06Canadian singer - not Michael Buble. Not a bad guess at all, actually.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09- It's everyone's favourite. - Justin Bieber.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Of course.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14- Now Love Is A Battlefield. - Pat Benatar.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Yeah, 21 points for that, though.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Actually, Burt Bacharach, best answer on the board.
0:10:19 > 0:10:20Very well played from podium one.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Thanks. We're halfway through the round. Let's look at those scores.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27Brenda, very well done - 14 puts you and Brian at the top of the grid.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30That's fantastic. Up to 26, where we find Amy and Ben.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34Up to 39, Karen and Eleanor. Then up one click more,
0:10:34 > 0:10:36and there we find Ben B and Pippa.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Yeah, you're not miles ahead, Pippa,
0:10:38 > 0:10:39but we will need a low score from you
0:10:39 > 0:10:42to make sure you're with us at the end of this round.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44We're going to come back down the line.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:10:47 > 0:10:51OK, let's put seven more clues up on the board. Here they come.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54ALEXANDER READS OPTIONS
0:11:16 > 0:11:17I'll read those all one last time.
0:11:39 > 0:11:45OK, so, Pippa. People whose surnames begin with a B.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47Yep, yep, I know a few on there.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Pippa, remind us what you do.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52I work in the same outdoor adventure centre as Ben,
0:11:52 > 0:11:53but I work in the office.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56OK, Pippa, your interests are...? Tell us.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59Yeah, me and my husband probably spend most of our free time
0:11:59 > 0:12:02helping out with a youth group at church.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Excellent. That covers everything -
0:12:04 > 0:12:07you do all the things they do, you go on trips and things?
0:12:07 > 0:12:10Yeah. Yeah, Bible studies, trips, socials.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12We do a camp in the summer. Yeah. Fun times.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14Excellent. Good for you.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17You are on 40, you are the high scorers by only one point.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19But you're the first person to have this board.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21How many on that board do you think you know?
0:12:21 > 0:12:24More than on the last one. I think I know three.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29I'm going to go for...
0:12:29 > 0:12:30Vaguely linked to my degree -
0:12:30 > 0:12:34model who married Nicolas Sarkozy in 2008, I'm going to say Carla Bruni.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36- What was your degree?- French.
0:12:36 > 0:12:37OK. Phew.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40It could have been folk-singing models, it could have been anything.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42Carla Bruni, says Pippa.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44No red line for you as you are the high scorers,
0:12:44 > 0:12:47but let's see how many of our 100 people said Carla Bruni.
0:12:49 > 0:12:50It's right.
0:12:55 > 0:12:5626.
0:12:58 > 0:12:59Takes your total up to 66.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02Maybe that's enough to keep you in the game, Pippa. Let's hope.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05Carla Bruni. Also dated Mick Jagger and Eric Clapton.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:13:08 > 0:13:09Eleanor, welcome.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12Good to have you here on Pointless. What do you do, Eleanor?
0:13:12 > 0:13:15I am a science technician at my local secondary school.
0:13:15 > 0:13:21- You work backstage.- I do. - Is that more in the physics lab?
0:13:21 > 0:13:25No, we do all the science subjects - biology, chemistry, physics.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28- Quite fun.- Yeah, good fun. Work with a lovely team of people.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Good stuff. There you are on 39.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32The high scorers are Pippa and Ben on 66.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35- 26 or less keeps you in the game. - OK.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39Well, I didn't ever think I'd be answering
0:13:39 > 0:13:41anything to do with football,
0:13:41 > 0:13:44but I think I'm going to go for the Liverpool player
0:13:44 > 0:13:47who rapped on New Order's World In Motion.
0:13:47 > 0:13:48I think it's John Barnes.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52John Barnes, says Eleanor. Here's your red line.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Get below that with John Barnes and you're in the next round.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57Let's see how many of our 100 people said John Barnes.
0:13:59 > 0:14:00It's right.
0:14:04 > 0:14:0541.
0:14:07 > 0:14:1141 takes your total up to 80, nice round number.
0:14:11 > 0:14:12New high score.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14It's going to be a very close round, isn't it? John Barnes.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16He also rapped on the Anfield Rap.
0:14:16 > 0:14:17Thanks very much indeed.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21Ben, welcome back. You did very well last time.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25Lovely low scores from you, including Benjamin Bunny, of course,
0:14:25 > 0:14:28after whom he's named. Yeah.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30Ben admitted that in front of all of us.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36OK, Ben, also in your fourth year as a medic at Manchester.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38What else do you like getting up to?
0:14:38 > 0:14:39I'm quite big on my sports.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42I play cricket for my hometown club when I go home,
0:14:42 > 0:14:45Wellington Cricket Club. I like to support Fulham.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47Well, I don't like supporting Fulham, but...
0:14:47 > 0:14:49You do support Fulham.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52- I didn't know you were a Fulham fan. - Yeah. Unlucky.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56Listen, you have to score 53. 53 gets you into the next round.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58How are you feeling about this board?
0:14:58 > 0:14:59I know quite a few.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03The only photographer I actually could name begins with a B,
0:15:03 > 0:15:05but I don't know if that's going to be right.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08So I'm going to go with the guy who played Brunel is
0:15:08 > 0:15:10Sir Kenneth Branagh.
0:15:10 > 0:15:11Sir Kenneth Branagh, says Ben.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Here's your red line.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16Get below that with Kenneth Branagh and you are in the next round.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19Let's see how many of our 100 people said Kenneth Branagh.
0:15:21 > 0:15:22It's right.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Well done, you're in round two.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Oh, that's a good answer. Look at that, 16.
0:15:30 > 0:15:35- 42 is your total, lowest total so far.- Well done, Ben, good answer.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38He said he'd never learned his lines more assiduously than for that rule.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41He said cos there's going to be a billion people watching
0:15:41 > 0:15:43- it really focused the mind. - Thanks.
0:15:43 > 0:15:48So...Brian, we come to you.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51We discovered last time you are retired, you worked in computers.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53You served in the Signals.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56What else do you like getting up to? What fills your time chiefly, Brian?
0:15:57 > 0:15:59'Geneology.'
0:15:59 > 0:16:00- Oh, really?- 'Geneology.'
0:16:00 > 0:16:02'Geneology' or genealogy.
0:16:02 > 0:16:03- Genealogy, yes!- Genealogy.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07What have you discovered? What's been the most exciting thing?
0:16:08 > 0:16:11The big coup, I think, was my late wife's family.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13They go all the way back to the Norman Conquest.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15Where do they go back to?
0:16:15 > 0:16:20- They go back to a manor in Wiltshire.- Wiltshire.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22- Have you visited it?- No.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25Oh, you should. If it's still there. Anyway, listen, there we are.
0:16:25 > 0:16:26There is your red line.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29We need somebody whose surname begins with B who will get
0:16:29 > 0:16:31you below that red line and who is on that board.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34If you fancied it, you could talk us through the whole board.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37- Well, I only really know the top two.- That's good enough.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39The photographer who dated Jean Shrimpton
0:16:39 > 0:16:41was, I think, David Bailey.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45The American president is George W Bush.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49I think David Bailey is my better bet.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51OK, your best bet, David Bailey. Let's see if that's right
0:16:51 > 0:16:55and, if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said David Bailey.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Absolutely right.
0:17:02 > 0:17:0334.
0:17:05 > 0:17:0948 is your total. Very well done.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Well played, Brian. Went for the right one.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13George W Bush would have scored you more points.
0:17:13 > 0:17:14Would have still seen you through,
0:17:14 > 0:17:17it would have scored you 61 points, George W Bush.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21- The presenter of Think Of A Number? - Lovely Johnny Ball.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24The brilliant Johnny Ball, of course.
0:17:24 > 0:17:2622 points. The best answer on the board is at the bottom there.
0:17:26 > 0:17:30- Kathryn Bigelow. - Kathryn Bigelow, yeah. 13 points.
0:17:30 > 0:17:31Well done if you said that.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Thanks very much. At the end of our first round,
0:17:33 > 0:17:36the pair heading home with a high score of 80...
0:17:36 > 0:17:38it's not that high.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40But I'm afraid, Eleanor and Karen, our newcomers,
0:17:40 > 0:17:42it's you, our cake bakers.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Sorry to say goodbye to you so soon, Eleanor and Karen,
0:17:44 > 0:17:48but we'll see you again next time. Thanks very much for playing.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50APPLAUSE
0:17:50 > 0:17:53But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for round two.
0:17:58 > 0:17:59So three pairs remain.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02Obviously at the end of this round we'll have to say goodbye
0:18:02 > 0:18:04to another pair. Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Our category for round two is...
0:18:10 > 0:18:11The Commonwealth.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first and second?
0:18:15 > 0:18:18Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23OK, let's find out what the question is, here it is.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:18:30 > 0:18:33Island Commonwealth Nations, Richard.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36We're looking for any country which is a member of the Commonwealth,
0:18:36 > 0:18:38as of January 2014, please, that is also an island.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42So anywhere that doesn't share a land border with any other country.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46Any country that is an island and a member of the Commonwealth, please.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48By country, we mean a sovereign state
0:18:48 > 0:18:50that is a member of the UN in its own right.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52Very best of luck to everybody.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Thanks very much, indeed.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58- Now, Brian... - Right. Trinidad and Tobago.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02Trinidad and Tobago, says Brian. Let's see if that's right,
0:19:02 > 0:19:04let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:19:06 > 0:19:07Absolutely right.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15Still going down, Brian. Oh, look at that. 7, very well done indeed.
0:19:17 > 0:19:197 for Trinidad and Tobago.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Well played, Brian. Very good answer.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26- They've got 15 different types of hummingbird.- Too many.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28- To be honest.- Do you think? - Yeah, it's just confusing, I think.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31I think it's nice. It's where different hummingbirds go to...
0:19:31 > 0:19:32Meet other hummingbirds.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35- Yeah, meet other types of hummingbird.- That's true, yeah.
0:19:35 > 0:19:39They can meet hummingbirds anywhere but different types of hummingbird,
0:19:39 > 0:19:40now you're talking.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44Thanks very much indeed, Richard. OK, now, Ben.
0:19:44 > 0:19:48We're looking for any Commonwealth country that is an island.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51I'm going to go with Saint Lucia.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Saint Lucia, says Ben. Let's see if that's right.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Let's see how many people said Saint Lucia.
0:19:57 > 0:19:58It's right.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01Well, 7 is our only score at this point.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04Saint Lucia...
0:20:04 > 0:20:06passes that. 6.
0:20:06 > 0:20:07A new low score.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13- There are some nice places in the Commonwealth.- Mm.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16Saint Lucia. It was named after Saint Lucy who, amongst other things,
0:20:16 > 0:20:18is the patron saint of throat infections.
0:20:18 > 0:20:19LAUGHTER
0:20:20 > 0:20:22That's good.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24Thank you very much indeed.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Ben, we've had a 7 and a 6.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Yep.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Next in that sequence should be a 5.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Should be. Not likely, I don't think.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36I really haven't got a clue,
0:20:36 > 0:20:40so I'm going to just punt at something that I vaguely remember
0:20:40 > 0:20:44at the back of my brain that perhaps we had some kind of connection to
0:20:44 > 0:20:46and I'm going to go with Cyprus.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48OK, Ben is going to go with Cyprus.
0:20:48 > 0:20:49Let's see if that's right,
0:20:49 > 0:20:52let's see how many of our 100 people said Cyprus.
0:20:53 > 0:20:54It's right.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58Well, 7 is our high score, 6 is our low score.
0:21:00 > 0:21:0210. Not bad at all, Ben.
0:21:04 > 0:21:0510 for Cyprus.
0:21:07 > 0:21:08That's a very good answer.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Its old name used to mean the abode of snakes.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12There's very few snakes there now.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16It's also got the oldest-found skeleton with a domestic cat.
0:21:16 > 0:21:17From 9,500 years ago.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20They think it's the first ever pet that's been discovered.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22First ever pet cat, anyway.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25Did it have a little rusty bell?
0:21:25 > 0:21:26It did have a little rusty bell, yeah.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30- That's how they would know it's domesticated.- That's exactly right.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33Thank you. OK, so, we're halfway through the round,
0:21:33 > 0:21:36let's take a look at those scores. 6 the best score of that pass, Ben.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39Very well done. Up to 7 where we find Brian and Brenda.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Then up to 10, Ben and Pippa.
0:21:41 > 0:21:45Pippa, once again it is in your hands to find a lovely low score
0:21:45 > 0:21:47and hope it's enough to keep you in the game.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Best of luck. We're going to come back down the line.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Can the second players step up to the podium?
0:21:54 > 0:21:58OK. Pippa, we're looking for any Commonwealth nation
0:21:58 > 0:22:01that has no land border with any other country.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04I'm going to go with one I think is definitely an island,
0:22:04 > 0:22:08hopefully, and say Antigua and Barbuda.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11OK, Antigua and Barbuda, says Pippa.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13No red line for you as you're the high scorers,
0:22:13 > 0:22:16but let's see how many people said Antigua and Barbuda.
0:22:16 > 0:22:17Is it right?
0:22:19 > 0:22:20It's right.
0:22:26 > 0:22:303. That's a good answer, Pippa. Very well done indeed.
0:22:30 > 0:22:34I think that probably gets you back in the game. 13 is your total.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Another very good answer. Another lovely place as well.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39Although of less interest to the hummingbird enthusiast.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42- How many types do they have there? - Like, 11 or something.
0:22:42 > 0:22:43- Oh. - ALEXANDER AND RICHARD YAWN
0:22:44 > 0:22:47Amy. You're on 6.
0:22:47 > 0:22:51The high scorers are Pippa and Ben on 13, so 6 or less is what we need.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54- OK.- Has to be a good answer.
0:22:55 > 0:23:00I'm going to go along with the train that's been going
0:23:00 > 0:23:02and just say Barbados.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04OK, Barbados, says Amy.
0:23:04 > 0:23:05Here's your red line - low.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07Let's see if you can get below that with Barbados.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10Is it right, how many people said it?
0:23:12 > 0:23:13It's right.
0:23:19 > 0:23:2113 for Barbados.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Which takes your total up to 19.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28- Some good answering in this round, isn't there?- Yeah.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31- Yeah, Barbados is home to the world's smallest snake.- Aw.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34Yeah. 10cm long and as thin as a spaghetti noodle.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36- It's a tiny little thing.- Aw.
0:23:36 > 0:23:37- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Wow.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Brenda.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44You have to score 11 or less. Simple as that.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46That will get you into the head-to-head.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49You can talk us through your thoughts, if you like.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52It's not one of my good subjects.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55I'm going to have a bash at Malta.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58Malta, says Brenda, Malta. Here's your red line.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01Little bit higher than Amy and Ben's. Malta.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03Let's see if it's right and,
0:24:03 > 0:24:05if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:24:07 > 0:24:08It is right.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16Ooh! 18 for Malta. Brenda, I'm sorry.
0:24:19 > 0:24:23It's a good answer. Nice low score. Takes your total up to 25, though.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25Yeah, just a few too many, Brenda, I'm afraid.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28There's one pointless answer on the whole board.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30Do you want to have a little bash at what that might be?
0:24:30 > 0:24:34- It's Tuvalu, isn't it?- Tuvalu. It is Tuvalu, yes. A pointless answer.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Very well done if you said that.
0:24:36 > 0:24:37Lower scorers, you'd have
0:24:37 > 0:24:40got 1 point for Nauru, Dominica, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
0:24:40 > 0:24:42and Kiribas, all of those good answers.
0:24:42 > 0:24:462 points for Solomon Islands, Seychelles, Samoa and Vanuatu,
0:24:46 > 0:24:48another old friend.
0:24:48 > 0:24:523 points for Singapore, Maldives and Grenada.
0:24:52 > 0:24:53Thanks, Richard.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56At the end of our second round, the pair who are heading home
0:24:56 > 0:24:59with a high score of 25, I'm so sorry, Brenda and Brian, it is you.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01You did twice as well as you did last time.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04- It's not a bad high score, is it? - It's not bad at all.
0:25:04 > 0:25:05Not bad at all.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08It's a mark of how well everybody played in this round,
0:25:08 > 0:25:09but I'm afraid we have to say goodbye.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11Thank you so much for playing, Brenda and Brian.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13It's been great having you on.
0:25:15 > 0:25:19But for Ben and Pippa, Amy and Ben, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27Congratulations, Amy and Ben, Ben and Pippa.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29You are now one step closer to the final and a chance to play
0:25:29 > 0:25:32for our jackpot, which currently stands at...
0:25:34 > 0:25:35CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:25:36 > 0:25:39That's quite a jackpot gathering there.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41Now we have to decide who's going to play for that.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43To do that, you're now going to go head-to-head.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45The difference is you're now allowed to confer
0:25:45 > 0:25:46before you give your answers.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50The first pair to win two questions will be playing for six grand.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52This is so exciting. This is exactly what I was hoping.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54- An Amy versus Pippa head-to-head. - LAUGHTER
0:25:54 > 0:25:56Brilliant. With backup from a couple of Bens.
0:25:56 > 0:25:57Let's play it.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07OK, here comes your first question. It concerns...
0:26:09 > 0:26:11LAUGHTER
0:26:11 > 0:26:13Types of Jellyfish, Richard.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Yeah, you know what? It was either that or types of hummingbird,
0:26:15 > 0:26:18so count yourself lucky.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21We are going to show you five pictures of jellyfish now.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23You need to tell us what sort of jellyfish they are.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26We're going to give you some letters underneath to help you as well.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29Did you know there were lots of different types...? Of course!
0:26:29 > 0:26:31We'll discover how much you know about types of jellyfish.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Let's reveal them. Our five types are...
0:26:54 > 0:26:57Amy and Ben A, you have scored lowest throughout the show
0:26:57 > 0:26:59so far so you will go first.
0:27:01 > 0:27:02THEY CONFER QUIETLY
0:27:12 > 0:27:17OK, we're going to go with C. We're going to call it an egg-yolk.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19The egg-yolk.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21I can see why you might do that.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24Egg yolk, say Amy and Ben.
0:27:24 > 0:27:25So Ben B and Pippa,
0:27:25 > 0:27:30do you want to do some reasoning out loud for the other ones?
0:27:30 > 0:27:33Well, we only know E for definite.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35We could try and guess some of the others.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38Do you think A could be, like, Lucy's something?
0:27:38 > 0:27:39Lucy's mask.
0:27:41 > 0:27:46I mean we could maybe go with E and hope that egg yolk is incorrect.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48- Yeah, let's do that. - Let's do that.- OK.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51- We're going for box.- For E.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54OK, E - box. We have egg-yolk and we have box.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56Amy and Ben A said egg-yolk for C.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58Let's see if that's right and, if it is,
0:27:58 > 0:28:00let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:28:03 > 0:28:04It's right.
0:28:09 > 0:28:10Very well done indeed. 8.
0:28:15 > 0:28:178 for egg-yolk. Very well done.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20Ben B and Pippa have said that E is box.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23E - box. Let's see if that's right and, if it is,
0:28:23 > 0:28:25let's see how many of our 100 people said box.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30It's right.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35Ooh, it's a good answer. 18 for box.
0:28:40 > 0:28:44Which means, Amy and Ben A, after one question you are up 1-0.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46That was nicely played, Amy and Ben.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49Just filling in the gaps there, nicely done.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52A couple of answers would have beaten it. A wouldn't have beaten it.
0:28:52 > 0:28:57It's not Lucy's mask, amazingly. It's lion's mane.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59It would have scored you 15.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03The next answer is a comb jellyfish.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06That's a pointless answer.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08Very well done if you said that.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10The letters here, you could work this out, D,
0:29:10 > 0:29:12and it would have beaten egg-yolk as well.
0:29:12 > 0:29:14Can you work that one out?
0:29:14 > 0:29:18- It's the wrong way up. - Oh, upside-down.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21Upside-down jellyfish, yeah. Would have scored you 5 points.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23That's sweet. It spends its life upside down, bless it.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25Thanks very much indeed.
0:29:25 > 0:29:26Here comes your second question.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28Ben and Pippa, you get to answer it first,
0:29:28 > 0:29:30but you have to win it to stay in the game.
0:29:30 > 0:29:32Best of luck. It concerns...
0:29:34 > 0:29:35Windsor Castle, Richard.
0:29:35 > 0:29:38We're going to show you five clues to facts about Windsor Castle.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41Can you give us the most obscure answer?
0:29:41 > 0:29:43Thanks. Let's reveal our five clues. Here they come.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46We have got...
0:29:46 > 0:29:48ALEXANDER READS OPTIONS
0:30:00 > 0:30:02I'll read those all one last time.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17Ben B and Pippa will go first.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24THEY CONFER QUIETLY
0:30:27 > 0:30:30We don't really know any of the answers,
0:30:30 > 0:30:35so we're going to plump for a county and say Buckinghamshire.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39Buckinghamshire, say Ben B and Pippa.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42Now, then, Amy and Ben A, talk us through the board if you can.
0:30:44 > 0:30:45A river in the south,
0:30:45 > 0:30:48so it's naturally going to be the Thames, presumably.
0:30:48 > 0:30:49Even if it isn't, it is.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51LAUGHTER
0:30:53 > 0:31:00We think that the Queen called the year of her Annus...thing.
0:31:00 > 0:31:04It was related to the time Diana died,
0:31:04 > 0:31:07so I'm going to say 1998.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10OK, 1998. We have Buckinghamshire versus 1998.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13Let's see if Buckinghamshire's right for Ben B and Pippa.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18Nope, not the Royal County of Buckinghamshire.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21Let's see if 1998 is right for Amy and Ben A. The Annus horribilis.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27No, it's not. There we are.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30After two questions, it is still 1-0 to Amy and Ben. Richard.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33I don't know why everyone was so worried about the jellyfish round.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35LAUGHTER
0:31:35 > 0:31:36That was pretty simple.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38Just out of interest, why did you not say the Thames?
0:31:38 > 0:31:40What was your grand plan there?
0:31:40 > 0:31:43I thought Buckinghamshire was right and better.
0:31:43 > 0:31:46Ah, well, Buckinghamshire was wrong and worse, as you know.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48LAUGHTER
0:31:48 > 0:31:53Berkshire is the county it's in. That would have scored you 45.
0:31:53 > 0:31:57It overlooks the Thames, obviously. Would have scored you 63.
0:31:57 > 0:32:02They year of the fire was...1992. That would have scored you 11 points.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04- The Gothic chapel? - St George's Chapel.
0:32:04 > 0:32:05St George's Chapel, yeah.
0:32:05 > 0:32:0712 points, well done if you said that.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10The architect?
0:32:10 > 0:32:13- Edwin Lutyens.- Edwin Lutyens, absolutely. 1 point for that.
0:32:13 > 0:32:14Terrific answer.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16Thanks very much indeed.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18So here comes your third question.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21Again, Ben B and Pippa, you have to win this one to stay in the game.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23It concerns...
0:32:26 > 0:32:28First Aid Kit, Richard.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30We're going to show you five items you might find
0:32:30 > 0:32:33in a first aid kit, but in anagram form.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35Can you unscramble them, please?
0:32:35 > 0:32:38Thanks. OK, let's reveal our five items in anagram form.
0:32:38 > 0:32:39Here they come.
0:32:39 > 0:32:41We've got...
0:32:41 > 0:32:43ALEXANDER READS OPTIONS
0:32:48 > 0:32:50I'll read those all again.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58And our medics will be going first.
0:33:08 > 0:33:12OK, we're going to go for the middle one. We're going to say thermometer.
0:33:12 > 0:33:14OK, thermometer, say the medics.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18Ben B and Pippa, what are you going to go for?
0:33:18 > 0:33:20Do you want to talk us through the board?
0:33:20 > 0:33:23- BEN:- The last one is plasters, second one bandages.
0:33:26 > 0:33:32- We haven't worked out one or four, so...shall we go with two?- Yeah.
0:33:32 > 0:33:33Yeah, we'll go with bandages.
0:33:33 > 0:33:37OK, bandages. We have thermometer versus bandages.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39Amy and Ben said thermometer.
0:33:39 > 0:33:43Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said thermometer.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46It's right.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50Thermometer is 37.
0:33:51 > 0:33:53APPLAUSE
0:33:54 > 0:33:58Now then, Ben B and Pippa have said bandages for "Sad Nag Be."
0:33:58 > 0:34:02Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said bandages.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06It's right. Ooh, look at that. 91.
0:34:06 > 0:34:07Wow.
0:34:07 > 0:34:08APPLAUSE
0:34:08 > 0:34:10Very well done, Amy and Ben.
0:34:10 > 0:34:14After three questions, you are through to the final 2-0.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16- That's a pretty big score, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19There's a couple of answers out there that would have beaten thermometer.
0:34:19 > 0:34:20At home, if you've got a first aid kit,
0:34:20 > 0:34:24don't keep things in your first aid kit in anagram form.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26- It wastes time in an emergency. - Yeah.
0:34:28 > 0:34:32"Clear Map Oat" is paracetamol.
0:34:32 > 0:34:359 points for that, that was a tough one, wasn't it?
0:34:35 > 0:34:39- But once you see it... "Zee Strew," it's got a Z in it.- Tweezers.
0:34:39 > 0:34:44Tweezers. Yep. That's also a good scorer - 14 for that.
0:34:44 > 0:34:49"Last Reps" is plasters, but that's a very big scorer - 71.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51Thanks very much indeed.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53The pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:34:53 > 0:34:55I'm afraid, is Ben and Pippa.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58Well, you've done very well this time around.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00Sadly you got beaten on your jellyfish.
0:35:00 > 0:35:04And bandages, yeah, that was whipped, I'm afraid, by thermometer.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06I'm afraid you leave without a point at the end of this round,
0:35:06 > 0:35:08but it's been great having you on the show.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10Thank you for playing, Ben and Pippa.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12APPLAUSE
0:35:12 > 0:35:15But for Amy and Ben it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:19 > 0:35:20Congratulations, Amy and Ben.
0:35:20 > 0:35:22You've fought off all the competition
0:35:22 > 0:35:25and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:32 > 0:35:35At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at...
0:35:37 > 0:35:40CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:35:40 > 0:35:43Well, finally, this is what we were angling for last show.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46Then it all changed in the head-to-head.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49Yeah, Steve and Ruth beat you.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51Now, then, as always,
0:35:51 > 0:35:53you get to choose your category for this final round.
0:35:53 > 0:35:56Here are your four choices. They are...
0:35:58 > 0:35:59ALEXANDER READS CATEGORIES
0:36:06 > 0:36:08- We said we'd go for sports if it came up.- We talked about it.
0:36:08 > 0:36:10But musicals, you're musical.
0:36:10 > 0:36:11We're going for sport.
0:36:11 > 0:36:12LAUGHTER
0:36:12 > 0:36:15- Definitely.- We're going to go for Winning Sporting Streaks.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17Winning Sporting Streaks it is.
0:36:17 > 0:36:19OK, best of luck. Three very different sports here.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21You're looking for anybody beaten by Stephen Hendry
0:36:21 > 0:36:25during his World Championship winning streak from 1992 to 1996.
0:36:25 > 0:36:27Anyone he beat from the last 32 onwards
0:36:27 > 0:36:30in any of those World Championships.
0:36:30 > 0:36:31We are looking for any one
0:36:31 > 0:36:34of Floyd Mayweather Junior's undefeated streak opponents.
0:36:34 > 0:36:37He won his first 45 fights up to October 2013.
0:36:37 > 0:36:40Looking for the name of anybody he beat.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43Or we're looking for anybody that Novak Djokovic beat
0:36:43 > 0:36:47on his 43-match winning streak that went across 2010, 2011.
0:36:47 > 0:36:48Anyone Stephen Hendry beat,
0:36:48 > 0:36:52anyone who Floyd Mayweather Junior beat, or anyone who Djokovic beat.
0:36:52 > 0:36:53Very best of luck.
0:36:53 > 0:36:55OK. Now, as always, you've got up to one minute
0:36:55 > 0:36:57to come up with three answers.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59All you need to win that jackpot of £6,000
0:36:59 > 0:37:02is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:37:02 > 0:37:03- Are you ready?- Yep.
0:37:03 > 0:37:05OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08There they are, your time starts now.
0:37:08 > 0:37:10Right, well, I'm not very good at snooker or boxing.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12I know he fought Hatton.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15I'm going to go for tennis players that I know. He probably faced them.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17Probably around the time Robin Soderling
0:37:17 > 0:37:18would have been playing.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21Stanislas Wawrinka, he's quite a big name.
0:37:21 > 0:37:24Recently won a Slam, so I don't know if he'll be...
0:37:24 > 0:37:28OK, I'm trying to think as obscure as I can get.
0:37:28 > 0:37:30Tommy Haas he might have played around that time.
0:37:32 > 0:37:33Benoit Paire is in my head.
0:37:33 > 0:37:36He's just a name, as far as I'm concerned.
0:37:36 > 0:37:37He sounds like a tennis player.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45- I'm just going to go with whatever you say.- Yeah, cheers.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47Tennis players.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52It wasn't me, I play a bit of tennis.
0:37:52 > 0:37:54No time for jokes, Ben.
0:37:54 > 0:37:56Right, OK, trying to think.
0:37:56 > 0:37:57- Roddick.- Ten seconds left.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01- I can't think of any. - Wawrinka, Soderling, Tommy Haas.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05- I don't know if they're right, but they'll do.- OK.
0:38:08 > 0:38:09OK, that's your time up.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11What answers are you going to give me
0:38:11 > 0:38:13and would you tell me which category it is?
0:38:13 > 0:38:15- They're all from Djokovic's 43 matches.- OK.
0:38:15 > 0:38:18- I want to go with Tommy Haas. - Tommy Haas.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20I want to go with Stanislas Wawrinka.
0:38:20 > 0:38:21Stanislas Wawrinka.
0:38:21 > 0:38:24And I'm going to convince myself to go with Benoit Paire.
0:38:24 > 0:38:27- Benoit Paire.- Yeah. - OK, now of those three,
0:38:27 > 0:38:29which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:29 > 0:38:32I think the best shot is probably Wawrinka.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35Wawrinka we'll put last. Least likely?
0:38:35 > 0:38:37- Benoit Paire.- Benoit Paire.
0:38:37 > 0:38:38We'll put him first.
0:38:38 > 0:38:42OK, let's pop those up on the board in that order. Here they are.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44We've got...
0:38:44 > 0:38:45ALEXANDER READS OPTIONS
0:38:49 > 0:38:53Very best of luck. Your first answer was Benoit Paire.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56You weren't entirely sure if this was a correct answer.
0:38:56 > 0:38:58If one of these answers is correct and pointless,
0:38:58 > 0:39:00there's a very good chance one of them might be,
0:39:00 > 0:39:03what would you do with your winnings, Amy?
0:39:03 > 0:39:05I'm going to Southeast Asia travelling this summer,
0:39:05 > 0:39:08- so I'll probably put some towards that.- Excellent.- Ben?
0:39:08 > 0:39:11Yeah, I'd really like to go out and watch the Ashes
0:39:11 > 0:39:13in a couple of years' time in Australia.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15OK, well, very best of luck. Three good answers on the board.
0:39:15 > 0:39:18Benoit Paire, your least confident shot.
0:39:18 > 0:39:22We were looking for opponents beaten by Novak Djokovic
0:39:22 > 0:39:23in his 43-match winning streak.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25Let's see if Benoit Paire is right and,
0:39:25 > 0:39:27if it is, how many people said it for £6,000.
0:39:27 > 0:39:29Is it pointless?
0:39:32 > 0:39:34No. I'm afraid an incorrect answer.
0:39:34 > 0:39:37Sometimes answers like that come in from nowhere
0:39:37 > 0:39:39and they end up being perfect.
0:39:39 > 0:39:41In this case, not so much,
0:39:41 > 0:39:45which means everything is riding on your last two answers.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48Tommy Haas was your next. Let's see if that's right.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51If it's right and pointless, it will win you £6,000.
0:39:51 > 0:39:53How many people said Tommy Haas?
0:39:56 > 0:39:58Oh, no!
0:39:58 > 0:40:00Another incorrect answer, I'm afraid,
0:40:00 > 0:40:04which means everything is now riding on your third and final answer,
0:40:04 > 0:40:06which is Stanislas Wawrinka.
0:40:06 > 0:40:07Now, this is the one you put last,
0:40:07 > 0:40:11you had the most faith in this to be pointless. Let's find out if it is.
0:40:11 > 0:40:13If it is, it'll win you £6,000.
0:40:13 > 0:40:15How many of our 100 people said Stanislas Wawrinka?
0:40:15 > 0:40:16Is it pointless?
0:40:20 > 0:40:21It's right.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23Your first answer, Benoit Paire, was incorrect.
0:40:23 > 0:40:27Your second answer, Tommy Haas, was incorrect.
0:40:27 > 0:40:28Your third answer, Stanislas Wawrinka,
0:40:28 > 0:40:30absolutely right.
0:40:30 > 0:40:31Down it goes through the single figures.
0:40:31 > 0:40:34Down it goes to 1. No!
0:40:34 > 0:40:36APPLAUSE
0:40:41 > 0:40:44I'm so sorry, unfortunately not a pointless answer, which means,
0:40:44 > 0:40:47I'm sorry to say, you don't win today's jackpot of £6,000.
0:40:47 > 0:40:50That will roll over on to the next show. But you played so well.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53I mean, a brilliant performance across two shows.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56You do, of course, get to take home a Pointless trophy each,
0:40:56 > 0:40:57so at least you have that.
0:40:57 > 0:40:59Very well done. Amy and Ben, very well done.
0:40:59 > 0:41:01APPLAUSE
0:41:05 > 0:41:08Oh, that was... That was tough. Unlucky, Ben and Amy.
0:41:08 > 0:41:10That's a terrific attempt.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13Benoit Paire is a real person and he's a tennis player,
0:41:13 > 0:41:14but not an answer.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17He's also, coincidentally - it's French for Benjamin Bunny.
0:41:17 > 0:41:19LAUGHTER
0:41:19 > 0:41:21There you go.
0:41:21 > 0:41:23In the amazing streak that Djokovic had,
0:41:23 > 0:41:24there's lots of answers on this,
0:41:24 > 0:41:27but in the quarterfinals of the Rome Masters in 2011,
0:41:27 > 0:41:29he beat Robin Soderling...
0:41:30 > 0:41:32And he was a pointless answer as well.
0:41:32 > 0:41:36All the way through your 60 seconds you were leading with Soderling,
0:41:36 > 0:41:37you kept saying Robin Soderling.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40I was sitting here thinking, "Lovely, Robin Soderling."
0:41:40 > 0:41:43At the last minute, for whatever reason, you didn't go with it.
0:41:43 > 0:41:45I'm really sorry. That's really tough luck.
0:41:45 > 0:41:47It would have been a terrific answer.
0:41:47 > 0:41:50Let's look at the answers for the different categories.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52I know different people love different sports.
