0:00:20 > 0:00:21Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:21 > 0:00:23Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:23 > 0:00:26the show where the lowest scorers are the biggest winners.
0:00:26 > 0:00:28Let's meet today's players.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33And couple number one.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Hi, I'm Omar, this is Mark, and we're from Leicester.
0:00:35 > 0:00:36Couple number two.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39Hello, my name's Glen, this is my girlfriend, Kirsty,
0:00:39 > 0:00:40and we're from Dundee.
0:00:40 > 0:00:41Couple number three.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43Hello, I'm Chris, this is my son, George,
0:00:43 > 0:00:46and we're from Tring in Hertfordshire.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47And finally, couple number four.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Hi, my name is Alan, I'm from Liverpool.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52This is my daughter Jayne, she's relocated to York.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54And these are today's contestants.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56APPLAUSE
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Thanks very much, everyone. We'll get to know more about
0:00:59 > 0:01:01each of you throughout the show, as it goes along,
0:01:01 > 0:01:03so that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06His brain is so expansive, it has its own postcode,
0:01:06 > 0:01:08although it receives mainly spam.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12Hiya.
0:01:12 > 0:01:13Hey, everyone. Hiya.
0:01:15 > 0:01:16- Good afternoon.- Good afternoon.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19- Nice little jackpot building up, isn't there?- Isn't it?
0:01:19 > 0:01:20It's a nice bit of money to play for.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Omar and Mark nearly went through to the jackpot round last time,
0:01:23 > 0:01:25got through to the head-to-head.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27And Jayne and Alan who got through to Round Two as well,
0:01:27 > 0:01:28so a force to be reckoned with as well.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30It'll be tough for our new pairs.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32Really nice first round, I think. Round One is quite a fun one.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Excellent. Thanks very much, Richard.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Now, every question on Pointless has been asked
0:01:36 > 0:01:38of 100 people before the show.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41Today's contestants are looking for a Pointless answer, of course.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43That being an answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Find one of those and we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48As you'll have gathered,
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Nicola and Ross didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:01:50 > 0:01:51so we add another £1,000 to that.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54So today's jackpot starts off at £8,000.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07OK, now the pair with the highest score at the end of each round,
0:02:07 > 0:02:10obviously, will be eliminated. Just remember that.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13OK, our first category today, is...
0:02:16 > 0:02:17TV Characters.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:02:19 > 0:02:21- who's going to second. - WHISPERING
0:02:21 > 0:02:24And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29OK, and the question concerns...
0:02:33 > 0:02:34Fictional Families, Richard.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37On each board, we're going to show you some lists of fictional siblings.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39I'm going to tell you which TV show they're from as well.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41You just need to give us their surname, please.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45So, we're looking for 14 surnames in all. Very best of luck.
0:02:45 > 0:02:46Thanks very much indeed.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50So, what are the surnames shared by these members of fictional families?
0:02:50 > 0:02:52And here's our first board of seven.
0:03:13 > 0:03:14I'll read those all one last time.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36There we are. Omar, welcome back.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40- Thank you.- Remind us what you get up to up in Leicester.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Well, I enjoy playing football.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45I support Chelsea FC as well. I'm a massive fan of them.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49And then I enjoy loads of sports and leisure in my own time,
0:03:49 > 0:03:51volunteering at a local boxing gym.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53OK, how do you feel about this as a round, Omar?
0:03:53 > 0:03:56- HE SIGHS - I think most of these
0:03:56 > 0:03:57are way out of my time.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00Um, I probably only know one, to be quite honest.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Um... And I'll go with what I know,
0:04:03 > 0:04:07which is Peter, Lucy and Bobby, which is Beale.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11"Beale," says Omar. Let's see how many of our 100 people said Beale.
0:04:15 > 0:04:16It's right.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21- 41. - APPLAUSE
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Not a terrible start to the show, Omar, 41.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Yeah, you're risking a yellow card, though,
0:04:26 > 0:04:28for saying it's before your time,
0:04:28 > 0:04:30which you know we don't allow anyone to say on this show.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32It's not acceptable.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Thanks very much indeed. Now, OK, so, Glen.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37- Hello.- Glen, welcome to the show. - Thank you.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39- From Dundee?- Yes.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42Oh, it just makes my mouth water, Dundee.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44I'm afraid the first thing I think of, just two things, in fact,
0:04:44 > 0:04:46marmalade and shortbread.
0:04:46 > 0:04:47Mmm!
0:04:47 > 0:04:49- Yes, they are delicious.- Mmm!
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Right, what do you do up in Dundee, Glen?
0:04:51 > 0:04:54I'm a croupier, a casino dealer.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Wow. Oh, that's fun.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Any marmalade in that?
0:04:58 > 0:05:01- There's not as much as you'd might hope.- No, oh, disappointing.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04- That's quite cool, being a croupier. - It's very cool, being a croupier.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07- How long have you done it for? - Over four years now.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09- And how long do you train to be a croupier?- Um...
0:05:09 > 0:05:12There's a six-week training programme you have to do.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14And if you're good enough,
0:05:14 > 0:05:17- you go on to become a trainee dealer and then...- Ooor.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19- ..become a full dealer and... - That's right, but you deal
0:05:19 > 0:05:20all the tables, do you?
0:05:20 > 0:05:23- Do you know pretty much every...? - In my casino, yes.- Yes?
0:05:23 > 0:05:27It takes a while to learn them all, but I did get there eventually.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31Very good. Now, Glen, what are you going to go for on this board?
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Um, let's see. I know a couple.
0:05:35 > 0:05:40Best one I could probably go for is Niles and Frasier Crane.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42"Crane," says Glen. Let's see if Crane is right.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45Let's see how many of our 100 people said Crane.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48It's right.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Oh, it beats the Beales.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54- 28. - APPLAUSE
0:05:57 > 0:06:00Yeah, originally it was supposed to be an only child in that Frasier,
0:06:00 > 0:06:03and then they saw a headshot of David Hyde Pierce and just said,
0:06:03 > 0:06:06"He looks so much like Kelsey Grammer that we..."
0:06:06 > 0:06:08They wrote in a brother.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10They wrote in Niles Crane.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12- Thanks very much, Richard. Now, George.- Hi.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14- George, welcome to the show. - Thanks for having me.
0:06:14 > 0:06:19- What do you do, George? - I'm a musician and YouTuber.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22Wow. What...? Explain.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25So, well, musician's fairly self-explanatory.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Yeah, that bit, I was happy with that.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30I make videos for YouTube.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33A lot of them have to do with music and a lot of them don't.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36There's this thing called video blogging,
0:06:36 > 0:06:39- which I'm sure you've heard of. - Indeed, yeah, definitely.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Lots of people my age and younger, and indeed older,
0:06:42 > 0:06:45are making video blogs these days and enjoying it very much.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49George, what are you going to go for on this? On our nice board here?
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Now, I was really terrified this would happen.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53It was a, sort of, nightmare scenario.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56A board would flash up and I'd think, "I don't know any of them."
0:06:56 > 0:06:58And then a few seconds past
0:06:58 > 0:07:01and I, sort of, started to access a few little bits and pieces
0:07:01 > 0:07:02from my memory,
0:07:02 > 0:07:06I think there was a character in Happy Days called Richie Rich.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08So, I'll say Rich.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11"Rich," you're going to say. OK, let's find out if Rich is right,
0:07:11 > 0:07:13and if it is, let's see how many people said Rich.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19As soon as I'd said it.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Oh, I'm sorry. I am sorry, that's an incorrect answer, George.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24That scores you 100 points.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Yeah, there's a Macauley Culkin character
0:07:26 > 0:07:28and also a Rik Mayall character, as well, Richie Rich,
0:07:28 > 0:07:30but not in Happy Days.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Thanks very much indeed. Now, Alan.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35- Welcome back.- Thank you.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Yeah, it was Round Two for you last time, Alan, wasn't it?
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Yeah, we were done by the man with half a face.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Oh, that's right, the selfie picture, Russell Brand.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Not in it, as it turns out.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48But Ellen DeGeneres,
0:07:48 > 0:07:52- your lucky guess.- Lucky guess.- Yeah.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54So, Alan, what about this board? It's all yours.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57Do you fancy talking us through it?
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Well, Desmond's I've never watched, I don't know.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Outnumbered, I can picture the family, but I don't watch it,
0:08:02 > 0:08:04I don't know the name.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06I've never seen those characters in Coronation Street,
0:08:06 > 0:08:08I can't relate to them.
0:08:08 > 0:08:09Um...
0:08:10 > 0:08:15So, The Darling Buds Of May, I think, is Larkin.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18But I'm going to go with Happy Days and Cunningham.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Cunningham? "Cunningham," says Alan.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Let's see if that's right, and if it is,
0:08:22 > 0:08:25let's see how many of our 100 people said Cunningham.
0:08:27 > 0:08:28It's right.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31Well, 28's our lowest score so far.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33You passed that very comfortably, 22. Well done, Alan.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36APPLAUSE
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Yeah, Richie Cunningham and Joanie Cunningham from Happy Days.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43It was originally going to be called Cool, that show.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46- That was its original name. - Cool?- Yeah.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49Ah, but think how rubbish the theme tune would have been with Cool.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Yeah, it wouldn't be quite as good, would it?
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Now, you're right about Larkin as well.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55- It would have been a better answer, actually.- Right.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57The Darling Buds Of May family.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59That would have scored you 12 points.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Gloria, Sean and Michael Ambrose.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05From Desmond's. I've been spending the entire round trying to remember
0:09:05 > 0:09:07the surname of the family in Outnumbered.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09- It's the Brockmans. - Oh, God, yes, of course.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Brockmans. And it would have scored you 5 points, a terrific answer.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15And Mark, Adam and Danny Baldwin.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17And that would have scored you 8 points.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19The best answer - Ambrose for Desmond's -
0:09:19 > 0:09:21- well done if you got that. - Thanks, Richard. We're halfway
0:09:21 > 0:09:23through the round, let's look at those scores.
0:09:23 > 0:09:2622, Alan, very well done. Best score of that pass.
0:09:26 > 0:09:27Puts you in a very strong position.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30Then we go up to 28, where we find Glen
0:09:30 > 0:09:31and Kirsty, likewise.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34Omar and Mark are on 41, would be
0:09:34 > 0:09:36quite a high score, but for George and Chris'
0:09:36 > 0:09:39high score of 100, which helps you out a bit there.
0:09:39 > 0:09:40I'm going to come back down the line now.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Can the second players please step up to the podium.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47OK, let's put seven more sets of family members up on the board.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49And here they are.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09I'll read those all one last time.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25- Jayne, welcome back.- Hello.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Jayne, remind us what you do.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31I'm a trainee at a global confectionery company.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33- Hmm.- So I get to do lots of different jobs.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35You do lots of... And then you choose which one you want to do.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37So far, which has been your favourite?
0:10:37 > 0:10:40I've only completed one so far, and that was export shipping,
0:10:40 > 0:10:45so I got to, kind of, be the Santa Claus for chocolate
0:10:45 > 0:10:48and just ship chocolate to all different countries in the world.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50Wonderful. Now then, Jayne,
0:10:50 > 0:10:52there you are, you're on 22, Chris and George on 100.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55If you can score 77 or less,
0:10:55 > 0:10:57- you're into Round Two.- OK.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00I've learnt from my lesson from the last show,
0:11:00 > 0:11:04so I'm going to play it really safe and go for Monica and Ross.
0:11:04 > 0:11:05- Um, Geller.- "Geller,"
0:11:05 > 0:11:07says Jayne, for Friends. Let's see if that's right.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09And if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11There's your red line,
0:11:11 > 0:11:13see if you can get below that with Geller.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17It's right, of course,
0:11:17 > 0:11:18and you are through to the next round,
0:11:18 > 0:11:20very well done
0:11:21 > 0:11:23- 37. - APPLAUSE
0:11:23 > 0:11:2459 is your total.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Yeah, the children of Jack and Judy Geller,
0:11:28 > 0:11:31played by David Schwimmer and Courteney Cox.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33They were earning a million dollars an episode
0:11:33 > 0:11:35by their ninth and tenth seasons.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37A million dollars each, per episode.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39- Thanks very much. Now, Chris.- Hello.
0:11:39 > 0:11:40You're still the high scorers,
0:11:40 > 0:11:43still the high scorers. But, who knows,
0:11:43 > 0:11:45a low score from you might keep you in the game.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47Chris, what do you do?
0:11:47 > 0:11:48I write about tax for a living.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50HE GASPS
0:11:50 > 0:11:53Wow, that's, that sounds fun.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56Er, to some people.
0:11:56 > 0:11:57What kind of tax?
0:11:57 > 0:12:00Which bits of tax do you write about?
0:12:00 > 0:12:04All taxes and for professionals - for lawyers and accountants.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06I edit a number of books
0:12:06 > 0:12:07and I write about, specifically
0:12:07 > 0:12:10about VAT for other people,
0:12:10 > 0:12:13- but write about other taxes too. - Good stuff.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Now, Chris.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18- High scorer, we need a low score. - Yeah, looking at the scores,
0:12:18 > 0:12:21I think we need to be a bit...
0:12:21 > 0:12:22aggressive here.
0:12:22 > 0:12:23So, um,
0:12:23 > 0:12:26I'm going to have to make something up
0:12:26 > 0:12:28- LAUGHTER - in order to go for...
0:12:28 > 0:12:31- the zero answer.- OK.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33- So my answer is... - Can I just tell you,
0:12:33 > 0:12:36when people make things up, it ALWAYS scores zero.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38- Yeah, so that's the only way, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Yeah, well I haven't been on before,
0:12:40 > 0:12:42but I gathered that's how you do it, yeah.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45So, my guess is
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Penny and Luke, How I Met Your Mother,
0:12:47 > 0:12:48their surname is Lane.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51I like that.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Luke Lane, of course.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56The famous song by Gerry And The Pacemakers. Um,
0:12:56 > 0:12:58no red line for you as you're the high scorers,
0:12:58 > 0:13:01but let's see how many of our 100 people said Lane.
0:13:04 > 0:13:05Ooh.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07No, I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer, Chris,
0:13:07 > 0:13:08- I'm sorry...- I'm shocked.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12That scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 200, sorry.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15Yeah, that seems like too much of a risk, if anything, I have to say.
0:13:15 > 0:13:16- Yes.- Don't you think?- Yeah.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18It's not Lane, good names though, Luke Lane and Penny Lane,
0:13:18 > 0:13:21- both lovely names.- Yeah, yeah.
0:13:21 > 0:13:22- Kirsty.- Hello.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Welcome to Pointless, good to have you here.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Kirsty, what do you do?
0:13:26 > 0:13:30I'm a dispenser in a pharmacy, I prepare care home medication.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Excellent. And what are your hobbies?
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Um, a lot of DVD box sets,
0:13:34 > 0:13:36so TV's quite a good round.
0:13:36 > 0:13:37OK, good.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Yeah, just started a course on moons,
0:13:39 > 0:13:41so, I'm hoping moons might come up, as well.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44They do, occasionally, yeah.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48How's that course going? Have you always had a fascination in moons?
0:13:48 > 0:13:50- It's the first week, so not great.- OK.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53But I like moons because I like the mythological names.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55I find that quite interesting.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Excellent. OK, now Kirsty, what are you going
0:13:57 > 0:13:59to go for on this board?
0:13:59 > 0:14:01I'm going to go for Mad Men and,
0:14:01 > 0:14:05I think, Sally, Robert and Eugene are the Draper children.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07"The Draper children," says Kirsty.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09No red line for you as you are already through,
0:14:09 > 0:14:12but let's see how many of our 100 people said Draper.
0:14:14 > 0:14:15It's right.
0:14:20 > 0:14:21Look at that, 4.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23That's a great score, Kirsty.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25Lowest score of the round by quite a margin.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Takes your total up to 32.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Yeah, well played, Kirsty, terrific answer.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32Yeah, Don and Betty Draper's kids in Mad Men.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35Thanks very much indeed. Now then, Mark.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38- You're already through, this is good news.- It is good news.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40A bye to Round Two.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Very well done, well played by saying nothing.
0:14:44 > 0:14:45Mark, remind us what you do?
0:14:45 > 0:14:47- I'm an electrician. - You're an electrician?
0:14:47 > 0:14:49Independent, you work for yourself?
0:14:49 > 0:14:51I work for myself, I do a lot of,
0:14:51 > 0:14:54do most of my work for one person, though.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57Right. What do you do in your spare time, Mark?
0:14:57 > 0:14:59I play golf badly,
0:14:59 > 0:15:01I play cricket badly
0:15:01 > 0:15:02and I go fishing.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05Excellent. Do you watch television?
0:15:05 > 0:15:07- Indifferently?- Er...
0:15:07 > 0:15:10Yes. Unfortunately...
0:15:10 > 0:15:12Do you fancy talking us through all these answers?
0:15:12 > 0:15:15- Not the programmes on there, though, that's the only thing.- Argh.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18Er, I think I've watched Dynasty once
0:15:18 > 0:15:21and it might be Carrington, but I couldn't swear to it.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25The rest of them, I haven't got a clue,
0:15:25 > 0:15:27apart from the bottom one.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31Which might be Kennedy, and that's what I'll go for.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35OK, you're going to say Malcolm, Libby, Billy and Holly Kennedy.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37No red line, you're already through,
0:15:37 > 0:15:41but let's see how many of our 100 people said Kennedy. Is it right?
0:15:42 > 0:15:43It is right.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50- 14. - APPLAUSE
0:15:51 > 0:15:5314 takes your total up to 55,
0:15:53 > 0:15:54very well done.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57Well played, yeah, Neighbours rides to the rescue again.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00They're the children of Karl Kennedy, they were by two different mothers.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02It's a slightly better answer than Dynasty.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04You're right about that as well, it was Carrington,
0:16:04 > 0:16:06but would have scored you 15 points.
0:16:08 > 0:16:13Nick, Janey and Michael from My Family are the Harpers.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15That's a very good answer, would have scored you 12.
0:16:15 > 0:16:19Edith, Sybil and Mary are the Crawleys.
0:16:19 > 0:16:2223 points for that. And Penny and Luke is the best answer on the board.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24You'll only know it if you watch the show,
0:16:24 > 0:16:25which my kids do religiously.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27They're the Mosbys.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30That would have scored you 2, so best answer up there.
0:16:30 > 0:16:31Thanks very much indeed.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33At the end of our first round, the pair heading home
0:16:33 > 0:16:37with their high score of 200, I'm afraid it's Chris and George.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41Well, that's how you make an appearance on Pointless, isn't it?
0:16:41 > 0:16:42That's an entrance, 200, there.
0:16:42 > 0:16:46Our newest members of the 200 Club, we will see you again next time
0:16:46 > 0:16:48and I'm sure you'll do much, much better than.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51In the meantime, thanks for playing, Chris and George.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53APPLAUSE
0:16:53 > 0:16:56But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Well, three pairs remain. Obviously,
0:17:03 > 0:17:06at the end of this round, we will have to say goodbye to another pair.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08But, well played, everyone.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10I think this is going to be a very exciting second round.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14Our category today is...
0:17:17 > 0:17:20Like I said, very exciting. County Cricket.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22Can you all decide who's going to go first,
0:17:22 > 0:17:23who's going to get second.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31OK, let's find out what the question is, here it comes.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34We gave 100 people, 100 seconds to name...
0:17:41 > 0:17:44As many cricket counties as they could that don't end in 'shire'.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47Yeah, we're looking for any English or Welsh county cricket team
0:17:47 > 0:17:49who played in the County Championship in 2013
0:17:49 > 0:17:53or played in the Minor Counties Championship in 2013,
0:17:53 > 0:17:55whose name doesn't end in 'shire', please.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57So, any English or Welsh county
0:17:57 > 0:17:58who played in either of those tournaments,
0:17:58 > 0:18:01whose name does not end in 'shire'. Good luck.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05Thanks very much indeed. Omar, over to you first.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Wow.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12I'm just going to take an absolute stab in the dark and say Bath.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17OK.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21Let's just find out, is Bath right?
0:18:21 > 0:18:22A cricket county.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27No, Omar, I'm sorry.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29Nice and clean, though.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33But, um, I'm afraid not a cricket county.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36Yeah, sorry, Omar, the people of Bath will tell you
0:18:36 > 0:18:38time and time again that Bath is a county,
0:18:38 > 0:18:40but they're not right, it isn't.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43It's, "Come on, guys, you're kidding yourselves."
0:18:43 > 0:18:46- Now, Kirsty.- Yeah, um...- Kirsty.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49Yeah, not a good round.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52I'd like to say that takes the pressure off, but it doesn't.
0:18:53 > 0:18:54Um...
0:18:54 > 0:18:56You could go for a county.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00Yeah, well, I'm going to say one, it might not be a county,
0:19:00 > 0:19:03but it doesn't end in 'shire', so...
0:19:03 > 0:19:05- That's good.- Yeah, it's a start.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07I'm going to go for Rutland.
0:19:07 > 0:19:08Rutland?
0:19:08 > 0:19:10OK, let's find out. Is that right?
0:19:10 > 0:19:13And if it is, how many of our 100 people said Rutland.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19- Oh, I'm sorry, Kirsty. - I made it up.
0:19:19 > 0:19:24That's an incorrect answer, scores you the maximum of 100 points.
0:19:24 > 0:19:28Yeah, sorry, Kirsty. Rutland not a County Cricket team, I'm afraid.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31OK.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33Jayne.
0:19:33 > 0:19:34I'm not sure at all.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36LAUGHTER
0:19:36 > 0:19:38I'm going to try and name a county,
0:19:38 > 0:19:40but I don't know if they play cricket there.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42So I'm going to go for 'Kent'.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45CHEERING
0:19:50 > 0:19:53- ALEXANDER SIGHS - Jayne's saying 'Kent'.
0:19:53 > 0:19:54How many people said it?
0:19:57 > 0:19:59- That's a great answer, Jayne.- Yay.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04- Look at that, 39. Wonderful. - APPLAUSE
0:20:08 > 0:20:11Yeah, one of the elite County Championship clubs, Kent.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13- And it doesn't end in 'shire', does it?- No.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16RICHARD SIGHS And everyone knows it's a county.
0:20:16 > 0:20:17- It's a county. - No-one's going to say,
0:20:17 > 0:20:19"I think you'll find Kent isn't a county.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21"It hasn't been a county since 1963,
0:20:21 > 0:20:24"when it became part of the unitary authority of Dover."
0:20:26 > 0:20:28- Somebody will.- Somebody will. Maybe they will now.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Thanks. We're halfway through the round.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Let's take a look at the scores. 39, the best score.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Well done, Jayne. You and Alan, I think,
0:20:34 > 0:20:36you're going to make it to the head-to-head. Now,
0:20:36 > 0:20:39Kirsty, Omar, two high scores there,
0:20:39 > 0:20:41which means Glen and Mark,
0:20:41 > 0:20:43it's between the pair of you.
0:20:43 > 0:20:44One of you will be staying
0:20:44 > 0:20:46and one of you will be leaving at the end of the round.
0:20:46 > 0:20:47I wonder who it's going to be?
0:20:47 > 0:20:50Best of luck, we're going to come back down the line now.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:20:54 > 0:20:57- So, Alan. Didn't Jayne do well?- She did,
0:20:57 > 0:20:59- very well.- That's a great answer.
0:20:59 > 0:21:00You're as good as through.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03What are you going to go for?
0:21:03 > 0:21:06The high scorers, obviously, joint highest scorers on 100,
0:21:06 > 0:21:07so 60 or less sees you through.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12I could probably have a go at a few minor counties.
0:21:12 > 0:21:13But in view of the way the scoreboard is,
0:21:13 > 0:21:16I think I'll stay safe and...
0:21:16 > 0:21:17Or, there's another way of looking at it,
0:21:17 > 0:21:19"Hey, hey, they've scored 100."
0:21:19 > 0:21:23You've got a bit of a leeway there, you've got a safety net, Alan.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26You're trying, aren't you?
0:21:26 > 0:21:30Um, no, I'm going to go with Durham.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33Durham? OK, there's your red line, get below that with Durham,
0:21:33 > 0:21:36you're in the head-to-head. Let's see how many people said Durham.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40It's right.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43- PING - Very well done, you're through.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46- 31. - APPLAUSE
0:21:46 > 0:21:48Good answer. 70, nice round total there.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51Well played, Alan, did exactly the right thing there as well.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54- And ignoring you...- Yeah.- ..I think was the right thing to do there.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56- It's the safest thing to do. - It always is.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59Yeah, it's been a first-class county since 1991, Durham.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04Now, Glen,
0:22:04 > 0:22:05remember what you have to do here.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09Take a look at Mark. There he is.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12Also, Mark, plays cricket, badly.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16I'm just mentioning that by the bye.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19- Plays cricket badly.- OK.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Um, well, my cricket knowledge
0:22:21 > 0:22:23isn't very good.
0:22:23 > 0:22:27But my knowledge of the counties of England,
0:22:27 > 0:22:29that's also not very good.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32- Oh.- Um... - LAUGHTER
0:22:32 > 0:22:35So, I will have a stab at...
0:22:35 > 0:22:37Somerset.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43No red line for you, you're joint high scorers,
0:22:43 > 0:22:45but let's see how many of our 100 people said Somerset.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49It's absolutely right.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52Well, 39 is our high-scoring correct answer,
0:22:52 > 0:22:5431 our lowest scoring, now it's 29.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58- APPLAUSE - Very well done. 129, Glen.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00Is that enough to keep you in the game, I wonder?
0:23:00 > 0:23:04Yeah, founded 1875. Didn't win a trophy for over 100 years,
0:23:04 > 0:23:06then won two within the space of two days.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08- Wow.- They had that team in the '70s with
0:23:08 > 0:23:12Botham and Viv Richards and Joel Garner.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Good stuff. Er, Mark, Mark,
0:23:14 > 0:23:17- we have...we have a specific target. - We do indeed.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19It's 28 or less,
0:23:19 > 0:23:22or it's, "Goodbye, Mark and Omar."
0:23:24 > 0:23:25Right, um,
0:23:25 > 0:23:28I shall go for Sussex.
0:23:28 > 0:23:29"Sussex," says Mark.
0:23:29 > 0:23:33There is your red line. If you get below that with Sussex,
0:23:33 > 0:23:35you're in the head-to-head for the second time.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38Let's see how many of our 100 people said Sussex.
0:23:40 > 0:23:41It's right.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46It's still... Oh, no! Look at that, 39.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49Ooh, Sussex.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52139, your total there.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55Oh, I'm afraid... Yeah.
0:23:55 > 0:23:56Was Chelmsford one?
0:23:56 > 0:23:59- It's not a county. - LAUGHTER
0:24:00 > 0:24:02Oh, dear.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Yeah, Chelmsford isn't one, I'm afraid. Ever so sorry.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Sussex, of course, the best county.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11- Best team, best county. - Some say, don't they?
0:24:11 > 0:24:12Yeah, yeah, scientifically proven.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Now, there's no pointless answers at all,
0:24:14 > 0:24:16cos people know their cricket.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19There's two very, very good answers in the Minor Counties Championship
0:24:19 > 0:24:22because in there, you will find both Wales,
0:24:22 > 0:24:23which would have scored you 1 point,
0:24:23 > 0:24:27and Cumberland, which also would have scored you 1 point.
0:24:27 > 0:24:28Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31So, at the end of our second round, the pair who are heading home
0:24:31 > 0:24:33with their high score of 139,
0:24:33 > 0:24:35I'm afraid it's Mark and Omar.
0:24:35 > 0:24:36We have to say goodbye,
0:24:36 > 0:24:38but it's been great having you, thank you so much for playing.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42APPLAUSE
0:24:42 > 0:24:44But for Jayne and Alan, and Glen and Kirsty,
0:24:44 > 0:24:47it's now time for the head-to-head.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Well, congratulations, Jayne and Alan, Glen and Kirsty,
0:24:53 > 0:24:55you're now one step closer to the final
0:24:55 > 0:24:57and a chance to play for our jackpot,
0:24:57 > 0:25:00which currently stands at £8,000.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03AUDIENCE WHOOPS AND APPLAUDS
0:25:03 > 0:25:07So here's where we decide who gets to play for that jackpot.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09To do that, you are now going to go head-to-head.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11Obviously, this time you're allowed to confer
0:25:11 > 0:25:14before you give your answers. First pair to win two questions
0:25:14 > 0:25:16will be playing for £8,000.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28OK, here comes your first question, and it concerns...
0:25:28 > 0:25:30Booker Prize Winning Authors.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33Booker Prize Winning Authors. Richard.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36We'll show you five pictures of authors who won the Booker Prize
0:25:36 > 0:25:39who we need you to identify the most obscure.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41Thanks very much. Let's reveal our five authors,
0:25:41 > 0:25:43and here they come. We've got...
0:26:01 > 0:26:04There we are. Five authors who have won the Booker Prize.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Jayne and Alan, you go first.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10- THEY WHISPER:- I only know one - C. - Who's that?- Salman Rushdie.
0:26:13 > 0:26:19OK. Um... We think we know two, but we're going to go with C.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21OK, C?
0:26:21 > 0:26:24- I think that's Salman Rushdie. - Salman Rushdie.
0:26:24 > 0:26:25C, Salman Rushdie.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28Now, Glen and Kirsty, the rest of the board is yours.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30Do you want to talk us through it?
0:26:30 > 0:26:33Um, there's only one that I'm reasonably sure of.
0:26:33 > 0:26:37A, I'd have a guess at maybe Margaret Atwood.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40And B, I've...
0:26:40 > 0:26:42I remember reading recently that Ben Okri
0:26:42 > 0:26:45has won the Booker Prize, so maybe that's him.
0:26:45 > 0:26:50But I think we'll go for D, which is Hillary Mantel.
0:26:50 > 0:26:51OK. D, Hillary Mantel.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53So we have Salman Rushdie, we have Hillary Mantel.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56Jayne and Alan said Salman Rushdie was C.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59Let's see if that's right and how many people said that.
0:27:02 > 0:27:03It's right.
0:27:06 > 0:27:0751.
0:27:10 > 0:27:14Glen and Kirsty have said that D is Hillary Mantel.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17Let's see if that's right and how many people said Hillary Mantel.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21It's right.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26And it wins you the points.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29Look at that, 14 for Hillary Mantel!
0:27:29 > 0:27:30Well done.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35Glen and Kirsty, very well done. After one question, you are up 1-0.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38Yes, well played. I think Jayne did know that one. Jayne, if...
0:27:38 > 0:27:41And if Jayne had said Hillary Mantel, what would you have gone for, Kirsty?
0:27:41 > 0:27:42- Salman Rushdie. - CONTESTANTS LAUGH
0:27:42 > 0:27:45You think that you wouldn't have gone for a riskier one?
0:27:45 > 0:27:48Um, no, too risky. I was just...just names that I recognised.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50I didn't know their pictures.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52OK. Well, sometimes in Pointless you just take a risk,
0:27:52 > 0:27:55cos B is Ben Okri, and it's a pointless answer.
0:27:55 > 0:27:56- AUDIENCE:- Aw.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00Well done if you said that at home. You've won the point anyway,
0:28:00 > 0:28:02but would have been fun, wouldn't it?
0:28:02 > 0:28:06- A is not Margaret Atwood, it's... - Iris Murdoch.- ..Iris Murdoch.
0:28:07 > 0:28:08She would have scored you 6 points.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11I could tell at home, 90% of people, when they hear the category
0:28:11 > 0:28:13of Booker Prize Winners, thinking, please,
0:28:13 > 0:28:16let there be a picture of Salman Rushdie, otherwise I'm doomed here.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18And there was indeed.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21- And E...- Julian Barnes. - ..is Julian Barnes, yeah.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23And he would have scored you 3 points.
0:28:23 > 0:28:27Thanks very much indeed. OK, here comes your second question.
0:28:27 > 0:28:28Best of luck, both pairs.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31Jayne and Alan, you have to win this one to stay in the game.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33It concerns...
0:28:34 > 0:28:36The Royal Variety Performance.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38The Royal Variety Performance. Richard.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40Yeah, the Royal Variety Performance is like a live version
0:28:40 > 0:28:41of the Booker Prize, really.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44We're going to give you five clues now relating to the
0:28:44 > 0:28:47Royal Variety Performance. Can you give us the most obscure answer?
0:28:47 > 0:28:50OK, let's reveal our five clues, and here they come.
0:28:50 > 0:28:52We have got...
0:28:52 > 0:28:54HE READS BOARD
0:29:13 > 0:29:15I'll read those all one last time.
0:29:34 > 0:29:35There we are.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37Five clues to facts about the Royal Variety Show.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40Glen and Kirsty, you go first this time.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43(Ballet dancer is Darcey Bussell.)
0:29:43 > 0:29:46THEY CONFER IN WHISPERS
0:29:48 > 0:29:49(Yeah.)
0:29:49 > 0:29:51We're going to go for the ballet dancer,
0:29:51 > 0:29:53later a Strictly judge, as Darcey Bussell.
0:29:53 > 0:29:57"Darcey Bussell," say Glen and Kirsty. Darcey Bussell.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00Now, Jayne and Alan, the rest of the board is all yours.
0:30:01 > 0:30:02Shall we... Shall we go
0:30:02 > 0:30:04for the king one and just put
0:30:04 > 0:30:05a number on the end of it?
0:30:05 > 0:30:07I don't know the number.
0:30:07 > 0:30:08I'd go for the king one
0:30:08 > 0:30:10and just say George the...
0:30:10 > 0:30:11We'll have to go for the theatre.
0:30:11 > 0:30:12- OK.- OK.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15We can't think of the number
0:30:15 > 0:30:17of the king for that year.
0:30:18 > 0:30:19We'll have a try at the theatre
0:30:19 > 0:30:22in which it was held in 2013
0:30:22 > 0:30:23and say London Palladium.
0:30:23 > 0:30:24The London Palladium.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27So, we have Darcy Bussell and the London Palladium.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30Glen and Kirsty said Darcy Bussell. Let's see if that's right.
0:30:30 > 0:30:31Let's see how many people said that.
0:30:34 > 0:30:35It's right.
0:30:39 > 0:30:4033.
0:30:44 > 0:30:4733. Now, Jayne and Alan, you've taken a bit of a punt
0:30:47 > 0:30:50on the London Palladium, the theatre it was held in 2013.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53Let's see if it's right. If it is, maybe it will keep you in the game.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55Let's find out if it's right, though.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58- Oh, it's right.- It's right!
0:31:00 > 0:31:01Good answer
0:31:01 > 0:31:03and it keeps you in the game, well done.
0:31:03 > 0:31:04Back you come.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10Well done, Jayne and Alan, after two questions, it's one all.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13Yes, hosted more Royal variety performances than any other theatre.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15You did well to overrule Jayne there.
0:31:15 > 0:31:20I think, Jayne, you were suggesting George II. He died in 1760. It was...
0:31:20 > 0:31:23It was George V. It was a George, but George V.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25So, well played, Alan, there.
0:31:25 > 0:31:2615 points for that.
0:31:26 > 0:31:30The year the show was cancelled was 1956.
0:31:31 > 0:31:32That would have scored you 12.
0:31:32 > 0:31:36And the chat show host was Michael Parkinson,
0:31:36 > 0:31:39and it's a pointless answer as well. So, well done if you said that.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41- That's a tough one, wasn't it?- Hm.
0:31:41 > 0:31:43Thanks very much. So, here comes your third question.
0:31:43 > 0:31:45Whoever wins this, goes through to the final
0:31:45 > 0:31:48and plays for that jackpot, so best of luck to both pairs.
0:31:48 > 0:31:49It concerns...
0:31:52 > 0:31:55- Poisonous Plants, Richard. - We're going to show you
0:31:55 > 0:31:58the names of five poisonous plants, but we've left out alternate letters.
0:31:58 > 0:32:00Can you fill them in and give us the most obscure answer?
0:32:00 > 0:32:02- Best of luck, both teams. - Thanks very much.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05Let's reveal our five poisonous plants, and here they come.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07We've got...
0:32:16 > 0:32:17I'll read those all one last time.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30Jayne and Alan, you'll go first this time.
0:32:30 > 0:32:31INAUDIBLE WHISPERS
0:32:31 > 0:32:33I know the fourth one down.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35- It's laburnum.- Yeah.
0:32:35 > 0:32:36I don't think it'll be
0:32:36 > 0:32:37- any of the others.- Yeah, OK, fine.
0:32:40 > 0:32:44I think we're safe with two.
0:32:44 > 0:32:45So, we'll go...
0:32:47 > 0:32:48..one up from the bottom.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52And I think it's laburnum.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55Laburnum, say Jayne and Alan. Laburnum.
0:32:55 > 0:32:59Now, Glen and Kirsty. Talk us through the rest of the board.
0:33:02 > 0:33:04We were thinking laburnum as well.
0:33:04 > 0:33:05I think we only know two others,
0:33:05 > 0:33:07- don't we?- Yeah, the big two but
0:33:07 > 0:33:08I don't think they're going to
0:33:08 > 0:33:09beat laburnum.
0:33:11 > 0:33:13I think we should just say hemlock.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15Yeah, let's just go the hemlock.
0:33:15 > 0:33:19Yes, I think we'll have to go for hemlock and lump it.
0:33:19 > 0:33:20Hemlock and lump it.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22LAUGHTER
0:33:22 > 0:33:25OK, so, Jayne and Alan have gone for laburnum.
0:33:25 > 0:33:26Let's see if it's right. And if it is,
0:33:26 > 0:33:28let's see how many of our 100 people said laburnum.
0:33:31 > 0:33:32It's right.
0:33:36 > 0:33:3742.
0:33:40 > 0:33:4242. Now, Glen and Kirsty have gone for hemlock.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44Let's see that's right. And if it is,
0:33:44 > 0:33:46let's see how many of our 100 people said hemlock.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51It's right.
0:33:53 > 0:33:5462
0:33:54 > 0:33:56for hemlock, which means...
0:33:57 > 0:33:58Well done, Jayne and Alan.
0:33:58 > 0:34:02After three questions, you are through to the final, 2-1.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04Yeah, good head-to-head, both teams there.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07Ivy, big scorer, of course.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10Not 100, though. Would've scored you 94.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15- Do you know this next one down? - I'm going with monkshood.
0:34:15 > 0:34:17Monkshood is the right answer, yeah.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19Good answer. Would have scored you 8.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21Best answer on the board. And the bottom one?
0:34:23 > 0:34:27- It's henbane.- Yes.- Henbane. - Yes, that's right.
0:34:27 > 0:34:30Nasty stuff. It would've have scored you 11 points.
0:34:30 > 0:34:31Thanks very much indeed.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33So, I'm afraid the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head,
0:34:33 > 0:34:35Glen and Kirsty, it is you.
0:34:35 > 0:34:38Good news, though, this is your first appearance on Pointless.
0:34:38 > 0:34:39We'll see you again next time.
0:34:39 > 0:34:41We'll look forward to that very much.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43Glenn and Kirsty, great contestants. Very well done.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45APPLAUSE
0:34:45 > 0:34:48But for Jayne and Alan, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54Congratulations, Jayne and Alan.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56You've seen off all the competition and you've won
0:34:56 > 0:34:57our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:06 > 0:35:11And at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £8,000.
0:35:11 > 0:35:14AUDIENCE WOOS
0:35:14 > 0:35:16Oo, now that's worth winning. OK, well, best of luck.
0:35:16 > 0:35:18As always, you get to choose your category.
0:35:18 > 0:35:20Four options for you to choose from. Here they are.
0:35:33 > 0:35:34Um...
0:35:34 > 0:35:36As far as I'm concerned,
0:35:36 > 0:35:38the best of a bad bunch for me would be
0:35:38 > 0:35:41- Irish and Northern Irish sport.- OK.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43Yeah, I don't know anything about any of them,
0:35:43 > 0:35:45so I think we'll go for that one.
0:35:45 > 0:35:47OK. Very good. Irish and Northern Irish sport, Richard.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49Yeah, three very different questions
0:35:49 > 0:35:51here that should go down very well in Northern Ireland.
0:35:51 > 0:35:56I think you'll get a few pointless answers here. We are looking for...
0:35:56 > 0:36:00Anybody who Rory McIlroy's played in the Ryder Cup in 2010 and 2012.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02So, any of his opponents.
0:36:02 > 0:36:06We are looking for any of Northern Ireland's incredible
0:36:06 > 0:36:071982 FIFA World Cup squad.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09So, anybody who was in that squad.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11Or we're looking for anyone from
0:36:11 > 0:36:14Ireland's 2009 Rugby Union Grand Slam-winning team.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17That's anyone that was on the pitch against Wales in their last game
0:36:17 > 0:36:19or anyone on the replacements bench.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22So, anyone Rory McIlroy has played in the Ryder Cup 2010, 2012.
0:36:22 > 0:36:25The Northern Ireland 1982 Football World Cup squad
0:36:25 > 0:36:30or the 2009 Rugby Union Grand Slam-winning team against Wales.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33Very, very best of luck.
0:36:33 > 0:36:34Thanks very much indeed.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36Now, as always, you've got up to one minute
0:36:36 > 0:36:38to come up with three answers.
0:36:38 > 0:36:41All you need to win that jackpot, £8,000,
0:36:41 > 0:36:42just in case I need to remind you,
0:36:42 > 0:36:45is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47- Are you ready?- Yes.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the board.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52There they are, your time starts now.
0:36:52 > 0:36:57- I don't know any, so this is over to you.- That's a good start. Um...
0:36:57 > 0:37:02Well, I think Pat Jennings might have still been around in '82.
0:37:02 > 0:37:06I seem to recall Gerry Armstrong scoring
0:37:06 > 0:37:09an important goal against Spain.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11Um...
0:37:11 > 0:37:13Brian Flynn is coming into my head,
0:37:13 > 0:37:17but I'm not sure whether he was Northern or Southern Irish.
0:37:19 > 0:37:22- Is that York manager... No? - No, no.
0:37:22 > 0:37:23Oh!
0:37:23 > 0:37:25- Nigel Worthington. - Nigel Worthington.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29- That's a good shout. - That's the only one that I know.
0:37:29 > 0:37:33But again, I'm not sure which of the Irish teams he played for,
0:37:33 > 0:37:35but he's definitely Irish.
0:37:35 > 0:37:36Um...
0:37:38 > 0:37:40- OK...- It's up to you.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42- Gerry Armstrong, Brian Flynn... - Ten seconds left.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45..and Nigel Worthington, I think.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48- We'll go for that one?- Yeah.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50I think that's it, yeah.
0:37:50 > 0:37:55OK. Well, there's your time up. I now need your three answers.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58It's Northern Ireland's 1982 FIFA World Cup squad.
0:37:58 > 0:38:00- All of them going to be from that? - All from that, yeah.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02OK, and they are?
0:38:02 > 0:38:04- Gerry Armstrong... - Gerry Armstrong...
0:38:04 > 0:38:05- Brian Flynn... - Brian Flynn...
0:38:05 > 0:38:08- ..and Nigel Worthington. - ..and Nigel Worthington.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:12 > 0:38:15- Probably Nigel Worthington. - I don't even know who it is.
0:38:15 > 0:38:19Nigel Worthington, he goes last. Kind of your help there, Jayne.
0:38:19 > 0:38:20That was a proper team effort, that one.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22OK, Nigel Worthington we'll put last.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25Which is your least likely to be pointless?
0:38:25 > 0:38:27- Gerry Armstrong. - Gerry Armstrong we'll pop first.
0:38:27 > 0:38:30OK, let's pop those up in the board in that order, and here they are.
0:38:30 > 0:38:31We've got...
0:38:36 > 0:38:38Well, best of luck, three good answers there
0:38:38 > 0:38:42and one that was properly a team effort, which is great.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45Now, let's just hope one of these answers,
0:38:45 > 0:38:48at least one of these answers, is pointless and wins you that jackpot.
0:38:48 > 0:38:51What would you do with £8,000, Jayne?
0:38:51 > 0:38:53I still haven't learned to drive,
0:38:53 > 0:38:55so I think I'd definitely like to do that,
0:38:55 > 0:38:57and then maybe a holiday.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00OK. Alan, how about you?
0:39:01 > 0:39:03Well, I put it on my application form
0:39:03 > 0:39:05that it would go towards a new car for my wife,
0:39:05 > 0:39:08so I don't think I'm going to get away with anything else now, so...
0:39:08 > 0:39:10You shouldn't put that on the application form.
0:39:10 > 0:39:12Or was she standing over your shoulder as...
0:39:12 > 0:39:14- She filled it in for me.- Oh, right. - LAUGHTER
0:39:14 > 0:39:16There we are. OK, well, best of luck.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18Three good answers on the board, as I say.
0:39:18 > 0:39:22Now, your first answer was Gerry Armstrong. You thought this was
0:39:22 > 0:39:24probably your least likely to be pointless.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26Remember, only one of these has to be pointless
0:39:26 > 0:39:28for you to win that jackpot. Let's find out though.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30Gerry Armstrong, is that right?
0:39:30 > 0:39:31If it is, how any people said it?
0:39:34 > 0:39:36It's right.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38Now, if this goes all the way down to zero,
0:39:38 > 0:39:40you leave here with £8,000.
0:39:40 > 0:39:41Gerry Armstrong now going down,
0:39:41 > 0:39:43through the 20s, through the teens,
0:39:43 > 0:39:44into single figures down it goes,
0:39:44 > 0:39:46still going down, down.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48AUDIENCE: Oh!
0:39:48 > 0:39:49I thought it was...
0:39:52 > 0:39:532.
0:39:54 > 0:39:57And that was the one you thought least likely to be pointless,
0:39:57 > 0:39:59so it's all looking very good for your next two answers.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01Sadly, not a pointless answer there.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04Brilliant answer though, cracking low score.
0:40:04 > 0:40:07- You'd be thrilled with that at any other point in the game.- Yeah.
0:40:07 > 0:40:09Sadly, it doesn't count in this round.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11We only want pointless answers
0:40:11 > 0:40:13Your next answer, though, was Brian Flynn,
0:40:13 > 0:40:16again, a member of the 1982 World Cup squad.
0:40:16 > 0:40:18Let's find out if it's right and if it's pointless.
0:40:18 > 0:40:21If it is, it'll win you £8,000. Brian Flynn.
0:40:25 > 0:40:29Oo, bad luck. An incorrect answer there, I'm afraid.
0:40:29 > 0:40:32Which means everything is now riding on your third and final answer,
0:40:32 > 0:40:33which is Nigel Worthington.
0:40:35 > 0:40:37Bit of help from Jayne to help you get Nigel Worthington.
0:40:37 > 0:40:41It would be sweetly poetic if this was correct and pointless.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46Fingers crossed, let's hope it is. To win that jackpot of £8,000,
0:40:46 > 0:40:48it has to go all the way down to zero.
0:40:48 > 0:40:50Let's see how may people said Nigel Worthington.
0:40:54 > 0:40:56Oh, no! I'm sorry.
0:40:56 > 0:40:59APPLAUSE
0:41:00 > 0:41:03Oh, I'm really sorry. That's cruel.
0:41:03 > 0:41:05Lovely low score with your first answer, but I'm afraid
0:41:05 > 0:41:08your other two were incorrect. So no pointless answer there,
0:41:08 > 0:41:11which means you don't win today's jackpot of £8,000.
0:41:11 > 0:41:12That will roll over onto the next show.
0:41:12 > 0:41:15But you've been fantastic across both shows you've been on.
0:41:15 > 0:41:18It's been wonderful having you. You get a Pointless trophy each,
0:41:18 > 0:41:19- so well done.- Thank you.
0:41:19 > 0:41:22APPLAUSE
0:41:24 > 0:41:28Unlucky. Valiant effort. I'll take you through the two wrong answers.
0:41:28 > 0:41:30Brian Flynn, you weren't sure if he was from Northern Ireland
0:41:30 > 0:41:33or from the Republic. He's from Wales, unfortunately.
0:41:35 > 0:41:38And Nigel Worthington, he was Northern Irish.
0:41:38 > 0:41:40Didn't start playing until 1984,
0:41:40 > 0:41:42didn't start playing for Northern Ireland.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45Let's take a look at the pointless answers in the other categories,
0:41:45 > 0:41:48cos I know there'll be all sorts of people at home doing very well here.
0:41:48 > 0:41:52I think more Pointless money has been one on obscure American golfers
0:41:52 > 0:41:55than perhaps any other subject in history, and there's a few more here.
0:41:58 > 0:42:01Also, could have had Hunter Mahan or Matt Kuchar. And I know people
0:42:01 > 0:42:05would have got those at home. Those were the six pointless answers.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07Let's take a look at the FIFA World Cup squad.
0:42:07 > 0:42:09Billy Hamilton scored a couple of goals there.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12Jimmy Nicholl, the former Man United player.
0:42:12 > 0:42:13John McClelland, Martin O'Neill.
0:42:13 > 0:42:15If fact, the only players who scored points were
0:42:15 > 0:42:18Pat Jennings, who would have scored you 5 points,
0:42:18 > 0:42:21Norman Whiteside, Gerry Armstrong, Felix Healy and Sammy McIlroy.
0:42:21 > 0:42:24So everybody else in that category was pointless.
0:42:24 > 0:42:25Well done if you said one at home.
0:42:25 > 0:42:28Now, the Grand Slam-winning team from 2009.
0:42:28 > 0:42:29The big scorers were Brian O'Driscoll
0:42:29 > 0:42:31and Ronan O'Gara, perhaps unsurprisingly.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38You, also, could've had David Wallace, Jerry Flannery,
0:42:38 > 0:42:41John Hayes, Marcus Horan and Paul O'Connell.
0:42:41 > 0:42:43Very well done if you said any of those at home.
0:42:43 > 0:42:47Thanks, Richard. Well, we do have to say goodbye to you, Jayne and Alan,
0:42:47 > 0:42:50but it's been great having you on. Thank you both for playing.
0:42:50 > 0:42:51Very well done.
0:42:51 > 0:42:53APPLAUSE
0:42:53 > 0:42:55Well, Jayne and Alan didn't win our jackpots today,
0:42:55 > 0:42:57which means it rolls over onto the next show,
0:42:57 > 0:43:00when we will be playing for £9,000.
0:43:00 > 0:43:02AUDIENCE CHEERS
0:43:02 > 0:43:04Join us then to see if someone can win it.
0:43:04 > 0:43:06- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:06 > 0:43:08And it's goodbye from me, goodbye.
