0:00:16 > 0:00:19APPLAUSE
0:00:19 > 0:00:20Thank you.
0:00:20 > 0:00:23Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:23 > 0:00:27the show that puts obscure knowledge to the test. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:27 > 0:00:30APPLAUSE
0:00:30 > 0:00:33- And couple number one. - Hi. I'm Fiona.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36This is my mum Denise and we're from Oldham.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39- Couple number two.- Hi, my name's Neil, this is my friend Will.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41We're from Leamington Spa and Coventry.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44- Couple number three.- Hi, I'm Mark Sutton and this is Mark Taylor.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47- We're from Newark-on-Trent. - And finally, couple number four.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Hi, my name's June. This is my friend Ian.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52I'm from St Albans and Ian is from South London.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54And these are today's contestants.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57- APPLAUSE - Thanks very much, all of you.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00We'll get to know more throughout the show.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02That leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06Like a petulant teenager, he's got an answer for everything.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08He's going the right way about getting himself grounded.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12- It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.- Hiya. Hiya.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
0:01:14 > 0:01:18- Good afternoon.- And to you. - I've barely got over the last show.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21- Amazing, Glen and Kirsty. - That was terrific.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24The moons of the solar system, they had to name,
0:01:24 > 0:01:26and they got two pointless answers.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30Very, very impressive. Walked away with £9,000.
0:01:30 > 0:01:35Nice little jackpot they got. But we continue. £1,000 is all right.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39In some ways, it's better. LAUGHTER
0:01:39 > 0:01:43- It's easier to carry.- Yeah. - That's the key.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Cos we pay you in pound coins, so actually, I felt a bit sorry
0:01:46 > 0:01:50for them on the train home to Dundee with all that cash in those sacks.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52A lot of it.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55Fortunately, they had a team of staff to help them with it,
0:01:55 > 0:01:58who they'd just employed with the huge fortune they'd just won.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00But I think £1,000 is nicer.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02- Yeah.- Don't you? It's a nicer place to start.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05We've got two returning pairs, Will and Neil,
0:02:05 > 0:02:08who got beaten 2-1 in the head-to-head, by Glen and Kirsty.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11- How would you have been on moons of the solar system?- Not too bad.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13We'd have got a couple.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16RICHARD CHUCKLES I'm so not convinced by that.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18I think we'd have been all right.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21And Ian and June, who got through to the second round last time,
0:02:21 > 0:02:24so we could see great things from them as well.
0:02:24 > 0:02:29Thanks, Richard. Now, as usual, all of today's questions have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Our contestants are on the hunt for those vital pointless answers
0:02:32 > 0:02:34to add £250 to the jackpot.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37Now, Glen and Kirsty won the jackpot last time,
0:02:37 > 0:02:40so today's jackpot starts off back at £1,000.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46APPLAUSE
0:02:46 > 0:02:49OK, so the key thing for you all to remember is that the pair
0:02:49 > 0:02:52with the highest score at the end of each round will be eliminated.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54That's all.
0:02:54 > 0:02:55Our first category today is...
0:02:57 > 0:02:58Victorians.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Victorians.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first and second?
0:03:04 > 0:03:07And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11OK, and the question concerns...
0:03:14 > 0:03:15Victorian novels, Richard.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19We're going to show you a whole series of Victorian novels.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21We need you to tell us who wrote them, please.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25We're going to give you the initials of the author in brackets.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Thanks. So, let's reveal these Victorian novels.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30You just have to tell us the authors.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Here's our first board of seven.
0:03:46 > 0:03:47I'll read them again.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04There we are. Seven Victorian novels, looking for authors.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08Denise, what a treat it is to have you here. Welcome to Pointless.
0:04:08 > 0:04:09- Thank you.- You've come from where?
0:04:09 > 0:04:13- We've come from Oldham. - And what do you get up to in Oldham?
0:04:13 > 0:04:16I work. I'm a cashier in a bank.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20Oh, you get to do that speedy counting of money.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23- Or do you have a machine that does that now?- No... Well, we have both.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26- You still do the...- I still do, yes.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30That's a skill I envy. What do you do when you're not cashiering?
0:04:30 > 0:04:35I like going to the theatre. I love musicals. I love eating.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38- Any kind of food. - All excellent things.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Nothing wrong with any of those pastimes.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Now, Denise, what about Victorian novels?
0:04:43 > 0:04:47- Do you look at that board and your heart sinks?- A little bit.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50I'm going to play safe and go for Barnaby Rudge
0:04:50 > 0:04:53- and that's Charles Dickens. - Charles Dickens, says Denise.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many people said Charles Dickens.
0:05:00 > 0:05:01It is of course right.
0:05:04 > 0:05:0644.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Nothing wrong with that, Denise. 44 for Charles Dickens.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13Well done, Denise. It was his first attempt at an historical novel.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16You know that skill of counting money incredibly quickly?
0:05:16 > 0:05:20Glen and Kirsty could use someone to do that right about now!
0:05:20 > 0:05:25You can't really do it with pound coins!
0:05:25 > 0:05:29It's going to be a bore... And on a train as well?
0:05:29 > 0:05:34They're probably sleeping on it by now, on a bed of cash.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37I honestly... £1,000 is slightly classier.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Oh, it's much nicer, isn't it?
0:05:39 > 0:05:42It's a bit gauche, £9,000 isn't it?
0:05:42 > 0:05:44A bit, "Look at me!"
0:05:44 > 0:05:48I'd rather go back to my community with £1,000 than nine, any day!
0:05:49 > 0:05:54Hold on, what am I talking about? Nine thousand - that's much better.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58Anyway, Will, welcome back. Welcome back.
0:05:58 > 0:06:03You and Neil work for a water company up in Nottinghamshire.
0:06:03 > 0:06:08I've noticed that you and Neil, both impressive sleeves of tattoo there.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12- Yes, we do. - Neil, you only went with one arm?
0:06:12 > 0:06:15I know, I need to win the jackpot to get the other one done!
0:06:15 > 0:06:18- I see, you are going to do the other one?- Yes, I will do.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21I've got a tattoo of my left arm on my right arm
0:06:21 > 0:06:24and my right arm on my left arm.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28- Incredibly lifelike. - Mirror images.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33Now, Will. Victorian novels.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Not my strong point.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38It was head-to-head last time, it's got to be the head-to-head
0:06:38 > 0:06:40and more this time, surely?
0:06:40 > 0:06:45I'm going to take a punt at The Invisible Man and say HG Wells.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47HG Wells says Will for The Invisible Man.
0:06:47 > 0:06:48Let's see if that's right.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54It is right.
0:06:54 > 0:06:5873 people said it, but it's right.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02Yes, a big score there.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05Amazing. It's a very, very famous book, of course.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08And he's here now, which is lovely.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Oh, The Invisible Man!
0:07:10 > 0:07:14Not HG Wells, HE'S not here! But The Invisible Man, there he is.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Look at that, health and safety!
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Now, Mark T, welcome, good to have you here, what do you do?
0:07:21 > 0:07:24I work for a council in Lincolnshire.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Can I ask what you do for the council in Lincolnshire?
0:07:26 > 0:07:30- I'm head of the environment and waste department.- Excellent.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Is that more stuff that you're picking up from people?
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Yes, we collect the bins.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38The department does lots of other things as well.
0:07:38 > 0:07:39A lot of recycling, as well?
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Once upon a time, we were the top recycling council in the country,
0:07:42 > 0:07:45- but not any more, I'm afraid. - Who overtook you?
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Lots of people have overtaken us, I'm afraid.
0:07:47 > 0:07:52Maybe it's time to pull your socks up in the recycling department.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54And probably in this quiz, as well.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58I'm not sure, what do you make of our Victorian novelists?
0:07:58 > 0:07:59Well, I'm going to take a bit of a punt
0:07:59 > 0:08:03and I think Sybil might be Benjamin Disraeli.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Benjamin Disraeli, says Mark, let's see if that's right
0:08:06 > 0:08:09and let's see how many people said Benjamin Disraeli.
0:08:12 > 0:08:13It's right.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19That's a great answer.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23It's a pointless answer, look at that, Mark T!
0:08:23 > 0:08:27That adds £250 to today's jackpot, takes the total up to £1,250
0:08:27 > 0:08:30and it scores you nothing - very, very well done.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Fantastic.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34- Good work.- Brilliant work, Mark, welcome to Pointless!
0:08:34 > 0:08:37He later became Prime Minister as well, Benjamin Disraeli.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Teams where they have the same name always do well, don't they?
0:08:40 > 0:08:43When we have a double Dave on the show, they always do well.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45We have multi Mark here.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51OK, now - Ian. Welcome back.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55- We discovered last time you are an actor.- Yes.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57What do you do when you're not?
0:08:57 > 0:09:01I'm a bit of a geek, I like to go to conventions.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05I go to Buffy conventions and sci-fi conventions and meet the actors
0:09:05 > 0:09:09and dress up and have a laugh with friends that are also geeky.
0:09:09 > 0:09:10I like to do that.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14Now, that's fun, how many Buffy conventions have you been to?
0:09:14 > 0:09:17I've been to four Buffy conventions
0:09:17 > 0:09:22- and one vampire ball which is True Blood and Buffy.- A vampire ball?
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Where's the vampire ball?
0:09:24 > 0:09:29The vampire ball is out near Heathrow in one of the hotels.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31- That sounds nice.- That sounds fun.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33I was hoping it might have been in Eastern Europe
0:09:33 > 0:09:35or something like that.
0:09:35 > 0:09:36Ironically, it doesn't suck!
0:09:39 > 0:09:41OK, now, Ian - this board is all yours.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44See how far down the board you can get.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46I didn't know Disraeli.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49It's a toss between Charlotte Bronte for Villette
0:09:49 > 0:09:53or Robert Louis Stevenson, I think, was Jekyll and Hyde,
0:09:53 > 0:09:55but I'm going to go for Charlotte Bronte.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58Charlotte Bronte, says Ian, let's see if that's right
0:09:58 > 0:10:01and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06It's right.
0:10:09 > 0:10:1115.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Very well done, Ian, that's a great answer.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Well played, Ian, you chose the right one, as well,
0:10:18 > 0:10:22because Robert Louis Stevenson was right, but a much bigger scorer.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26It would have scored you 53 points.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29The History of Pendennis, William Makepeace Thackeray,
0:10:29 > 0:10:33that would have scored five. The Woman in White, Wilkie Collins.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35That would have scored you 18.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Disraeli, the best answer there by a mile.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40- Well done if you did well on that board.- Thanks very much indeed.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44We're halfway through the round, let's take a look at those scores.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Mark T, look at that, very, very well done.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49A wonderful answer there with Benjamin Disraeli.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Then up to 15 where we find Ian and June,
0:10:51 > 0:10:53up to 44 for Denise and Fiona.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57Then 73 for Will and Neil, our head-to-headers last time.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Neil, it's on your shoulders.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Best of luck, we'll come back down the line now,
0:11:02 > 0:11:05can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:11:06 > 0:11:10OK, let's put seven more novels on the board and here they come.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12We've got...
0:11:23 > 0:11:25I'll read those one last time.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43- June, you're back, good to see you. - Thank you, did you miss me?
0:11:43 > 0:11:46Did we ever! We were just saying before.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48We were going on about it, weren't we?
0:11:48 > 0:11:50We miss you and we miss that £8,000
0:11:50 > 0:11:53that's missing from the jackpot, as well.
0:11:53 > 0:11:57- I'm guessing you're missing that probably more.- About the same.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59I feel better now.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02June, you're on 15, a brilliant score from Ian on the first pass.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05- That's probably ruined that, but never mind!- Well, let's see.
0:12:05 > 0:12:0773 is the high score from Neil and Will.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11You are on 15, so a score of 57 or less keeps you in the game.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16The only one I really know is going to be quite high which is annoying.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18I'm just trying to see the other ones.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21I'll probably have to go for the one I know
0:12:21 > 0:12:25which is The Picture of Dorian Gray, Orson Welles.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Please, is that wrong?
0:12:27 > 0:12:31- That probably is wrong. - Orson Welles, says June.- Oh, no!
0:12:31 > 0:12:33I've just suddenly realised who it is, never mind.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35I'll tell you what,
0:12:35 > 0:12:37thanks to the brilliant score of Ian on the first pass,
0:12:37 > 0:12:40it may not be the end of the world, you still may be in with a shout.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43There's your red line, if you get below that with Orson Welles,
0:12:43 > 0:12:46you're definitely in the next round. Let's see if Orson Welles is right.
0:12:49 > 0:12:50Oh, I'm sorry, June.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53- I'm afraid an incorrect answer, you probably know why.- Yes.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57That scores you the maximum of 100 points, takes your total to 115.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00Exemplary work on the initials, June. That's terrific.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05- Orson Welles, born in 1915, I'm afraid...- Yeah.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07..and he didn't write that.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09That's a minor quibble.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13Yes, I would have been better on the other round, but never mind.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Mark S, how well did Mark T do?
0:13:17 > 0:13:19- Better than I'm going to do, that's for sure.- Really?
0:13:19 > 0:13:22There's good news, which is, you're already through.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25That takes a lot of pressure off. Mark, what do you do?
0:13:25 > 0:13:29I'm a credit controller for a large electrical company.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31What are your hobbies, how did you and Mark meet, for example?
0:13:31 > 0:13:35- We play poker together. He's very good and I'm very bad.- Really?
0:13:35 > 0:13:39I'm putting his kids through college!
0:13:39 > 0:13:41What sort of poker do you play?
0:13:41 > 0:13:46- We play Texas Hold'em. - How good is your poker face, Mark?
0:13:46 > 0:13:49That's my problem, actually. When I get a good hand, I go, "Oh!"
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Then I suddenly realise I shouldn't have done that.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54All you have to do now is occasionally,
0:13:54 > 0:13:56when you have a bad hand, go, "Oh!"
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Then they'll soon learn.
0:13:58 > 0:14:03- Quite often I don't actually know the difference!- Yes, I see.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06OK, you're through, this is good news.
0:14:06 > 0:14:11So have a wander down that board and see if you can find something.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15- The top one is Jerome K Jerome. - Jerome K Jerome says Mark.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17No red line because you're already through
0:14:17 > 0:14:21but let's see how many of our 100 people said Jerome K Jerome.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30It's a good answer, 31, well done.
0:14:30 > 0:14:34Third lowest score of the round so far.
0:14:34 > 0:14:3531 is your total.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39Published in 1889, followed up by Three Men on the Bummel.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43- Is that a river?- Let's hope so.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45LAUGHTER
0:14:45 > 0:14:48- OK, now, Neil.- Hello.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51- Neil.- Hello. - Neil.- Hello.
0:14:52 > 0:14:57Erm, now... Yes, OK. So, Neil - remind us what you get up to.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01Erm...I... Non-physical sports.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04- Such as poker, snooker, darts... - Darts.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07- How's your pool? Pool good?- Yeah, not too bad, yeah.- And reading?
0:15:07 > 0:15:09How are you feeling about Victorian novelists?
0:15:09 > 0:15:13This is possibly one of the worst subjects we could have got.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Any of them will be a complete and utter guess.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18So, I'm going to go for The Mill On The Floss, George Eliot.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22George Eliot, says Neil. There's your red line. Get below that with George Eliot,
0:15:22 > 0:15:24you're in the next round. Let's see how many people said it.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28It's right.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32You've done it... Just!
0:15:32 > 0:15:3639. 41 was required,
0:15:36 > 0:15:4039 you got. 112 is your total, well done, Neil.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Yeah, very well played, Neil. It's a terrific answer.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46- Saved himself there, eh?- Mm. Thanks very much indeed.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50- Now, Fiona. Welcome.- Hello.- Great to have you here. From Oldham?- Yes.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53- What do you do, Fiona? - Erm...I'm a law student.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55What are your interests outside law?
0:15:55 > 0:15:58I like baking. I can't cook to save my life,
0:15:58 > 0:16:01despite the fact that my dad keeps trying to teach me
0:16:01 > 0:16:03before I go out into the big, wide world.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06But, yeah, baking. Mainly because I just like eating cakes.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09- Nothing wrong with that.- No. - Now, Fiona, there you are.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12You're on 44, the high-scorers on 115 are Ian and June.
0:16:12 > 0:16:17So, 70 or less keeps you in the game. Are you confident?
0:16:17 > 0:16:22I know two. Far From The Madding Crowd, I think is Thomas Hardy.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24And The Picture Of Dorian Gray,
0:16:24 > 0:16:26I think, sorry, June, is Oscar Wilde.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29Oscar Wilde, yeah, I know it who is.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33And I'm just trying to work out which one might be less than 70.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36Erm... I'll go with Far From The Madding Crowd, Thomas Hardy.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Thomas Hardy, says Fiona. There's your red line, get below that,
0:16:39 > 0:16:40you're in Round Two.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43How many people said Thomas Hardy?
0:16:45 > 0:16:46It's right.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49And you're through. Well done, Fiona.
0:16:49 > 0:16:5153.
0:16:52 > 0:16:5597 is your total.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58Yeah, very well played, Fiona.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01Actually, you would have scored fewer points for Oscar Wilde.
0:17:01 > 0:17:06I mean, not that many fewer, it's 48 points that would have scored you.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09Now, these are the three... Can You Forgive Her?
0:17:09 > 0:17:12- I bet you know that? Anthony Trollope.- It's Trollope, yes.
0:17:12 > 0:17:1410 points. Do you know Lord Jim?
0:17:15 > 0:17:18It's Joseph Conrad, it would've scored you 9.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20And New Grub Street is the best answer on the board,
0:17:20 > 0:17:23- which is George Gissing. - Gissing, yes.- 1 point.
0:17:23 > 0:17:28- Very well done if you said that. - Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30So, at the end of our first round, the pair heading home
0:17:30 > 0:17:33with a high score of 115, it's June and Ian.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Oh, I'm sorry. It was Round Two last time.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37I know, it's my fault, because I was thinking...
0:17:37 > 0:17:39I was thinking "Oscar Wilde - don't say Orson Welles,
0:17:39 > 0:17:40"don't say Orson Welles."
0:17:40 > 0:17:43What did I say? I said, Orson Welles. I was, like, "Argh!"
0:17:43 > 0:17:46- It's good to have it confirmed that it's your fault.- It is my fault.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48You know, it's not often I admit to it being my fault,
0:17:48 > 0:17:50but this time, it really is my fault.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53It's been lovely having you on the show, June and Ian. Thanks very much for playing.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56I'm sorry, this is where we have to say goodbye, but thank you.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59- June and Ian.- Bye.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:18:08 > 0:18:13And so there were three pairs. At the end of this round we have to say goodbye to another pair
0:18:13 > 0:18:14in time for our head-to-head round.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17Well, a special mention to you, Mark T, a pointless answer.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20We haven't had a pointless answer in play for a very, very long time.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23But that was terrific, really. Very, very well done.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25Well played the rest of you. Good stuff.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28Our category for Round Two is...
0:18:32 > 0:18:33R&B...
0:18:33 > 0:18:36Can you all decide in your pairs who's going first, who's going second.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44OK, and the question concerns...
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Soul and R&B girl groups. Richard...
0:18:50 > 0:18:53Yeah, we're about to show you the names of five all-girl bands,
0:18:53 > 0:18:56you just need to tell us the name of any UK Top 40 single,
0:18:56 > 0:18:59which has been released by one of these groups.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02So, any single which has them as a named artist that reached
0:19:02 > 0:19:05the Top 40 before February 2014, please.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07- Very best of luck. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11So, as Richard just mentioned, we're going to put the names of five Soul and R&B girl groups
0:19:11 > 0:19:16up on the board, we just need any UK Top 40 hit by any of these bands.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18Let's reveal those bands, here they are...
0:19:32 > 0:19:35Denise, you go first.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37I'm going to go with...
0:19:39 > 0:19:42Erm...Baby Love.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44Baby Love, says Denise.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 said, Baby Love.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51It's right.
0:19:54 > 0:19:5539.
0:19:57 > 0:19:5939, Denise, well done.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02Yeah, good answer, Denise. The Supreme's first and only UK number one,
0:20:02 > 0:20:06written by the famous Holland-Dozier-Holland songwriting team.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09Thanks very much, Richard. Now, Neil.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15I think it's by TLC, I'm going to go for Waterfalls.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Waterfalls, says Neil.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20Let's see if Waterfalls is right, let's see how many people said it.
0:20:23 > 0:20:24It's right.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27Well, 39 is our current score.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Waterfalls passes that.
0:20:29 > 0:20:3112.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37- Not bad, Neil.- Yeah, great answer. Great song, as well.
0:20:37 > 0:20:42- Waterfalls from 1995. CeeLo Green sings backing vocals on it.- Does he?
0:20:42 > 0:20:45- Yeah, pre-fame CeeLo Green.- Ah... He sang on loads of things, didn't he?
0:20:45 > 0:20:49- Yeah, he did, yeah. - OK, now, Mark S...
0:20:49 > 0:20:52Not a good round for us, either. Erm...
0:20:52 > 0:20:57- I'll go for, I'm Thinking Of You by Sister Sledge.- I'm Thinking Of You.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00OK, let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02I'm Thinking Of You.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05It's right.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Well, 39 our high score, 12 our low.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10You've passed the high.
0:21:10 > 0:21:11You've passed the low.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13It's a pointless answer.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:21:15 > 0:21:18I tell you, those Marks are onto something, here.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22That adds £250 to today's jackpot, takes the total up to £1,500.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25It scores you nothing. Very well done, indeed.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28Well, if this is your idea of a terrible round...
0:21:28 > 0:21:31That's nice, one pointless each for the Marks. That's nice, isn't it?
0:21:31 > 0:21:35Yeah, written by Chic's Bernard Edwards and Nile Rodgers,
0:21:35 > 0:21:36Thinking Of You.
0:21:36 > 0:21:41- It's a great song.- Yeah.- It is a fine song. Well done, Mark. Great score there, as well.
0:21:41 > 0:21:45We're halfway through the round, let's take a look at those scores. Nought, the best score of that pass.
0:21:45 > 0:21:50Then up to 12 where we find Neil and Will. 39, Denise and Fiona.
0:21:50 > 0:21:54So, Fiona...little bit of pressure on you at this stage.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56You're going to need to find a nice low-scoring answer.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59We'll have to hope that's enough to keep you in the game. Best of luck.
0:21:59 > 0:22:03We're going to come back down the line now. Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:22:05 > 0:22:09OK. Mark T, we're looking for the title of any UK Top 40 hit
0:22:09 > 0:22:14by any of these five Soul and R&B girl groups.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17Yeah, it's not going to be a pointless answer this time.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20I have a feeling Sister Sledge might have done Frankie.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Frankie, says Mark. Frankie.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26OK, here's your red line. You want to be scoring 38 or less
0:22:26 > 0:22:28to avoid becoming the new high-scorers.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30Get below that, you're in the head-to-head.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33How many of our 100 people said Frankie?
0:22:35 > 0:22:37Absolutely right.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Very well done, you are through.
0:22:42 > 0:22:4412.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47Which gives you a total of 12.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Yeah, another number one single, that time from 1985.
0:22:50 > 0:22:55- And that was Sister Sledge's only number one.- Thanks very much, Rich.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57- Now, Will.- Hiya.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59- How are you feeling?- Erm...
0:22:59 > 0:23:02I've got two in my mind...
0:23:02 > 0:23:04I don't know whether to play the risky one or not.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07But I think I'm just going to go for it.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11- TLC, No Scrubs.- No Scrubs.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14There is your red line, if No Scrubs gets you below that,
0:23:14 > 0:23:18you're in the head-to-head. Let's see how many of our 100 people said No Scrubs, is it right?
0:23:20 > 0:23:22It's right.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28And you're through. Very well done, indeed.
0:23:28 > 0:23:316 for No Scrubs.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Takes your total up to 18.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38Well played, Will. That's my favourite, I think, of any of the songs on this board.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42- No Scrubs by TLC. One of the most played songs in the history of radio airplay.- Really?- Yeah.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46The people who make those nose scrubs must have been very pleased with that?
0:23:46 > 0:23:47- It must have been...- Exactly.
0:23:47 > 0:23:51- ..just free advertising for them, isn't it?- Amazing for them.- Amazing.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54Thanks very much, indeed. Now, Fiona. Oh, Fiona.
0:23:54 > 0:23:58I'm sorry, you haven't had a chance even to redeem yourself yet.
0:23:58 > 0:23:59- Oh, well. - Not that you needed redeeming.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02Not that Denise needed redeeming either, of course.
0:24:02 > 0:24:0439, nothing wrong with that as a score.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08It's just everyone else seemed to know their girl groups really well.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13I'm particularly thinking of the far podium over there,
0:24:13 > 0:24:16who said, "Oh, this is a terrible round for us." Pointless and 12.
0:24:16 > 0:24:20Anyway, Fiona, have you got a brilliant answer?
0:24:20 > 0:24:24Growing up, I was quite a big Destiny's Child fan.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27We'll go with Bills, Bills, Bills by Destiny's Child.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29- Bills, Bills, Bills... - I hope it was a top 40.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31OK, let's see, Bills, Bills, Bills.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35No red line for you, sadly, because you are already our high-scorers.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37But how many people said Bills, Bills, Bills?
0:24:39 > 0:24:41It's right.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43Redeemed.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47It looks like it's going to be a low score. Look at it. Down it goes...
0:24:47 > 0:24:48It's 1, Fiona.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53Well, I tell you what, it rounds your total up to 40,
0:24:53 > 0:24:55which is a nice round number.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57But, yeah, I'm afraid too little too late.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00- But, still, a great answer.- Yeah, great answer, Fiona. Well played.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02That's another one of my favourites,
0:25:02 > 0:25:04Let's take a look at some of the pointless answers...
0:25:04 > 0:25:08You could have had Bug A Boo, that's Destiny's Child.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11Two more TLC songs here, Diggin' On You and Girl Talk.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15Little Mix, How Ya Doin'? Would have been a pointless answer.
0:25:15 > 0:25:19The Supremes I Second That Emotion, also by The Supremes, I'm Gonna Make You Love Me.
0:25:20 > 0:25:24Destiny's Child, No, No, No. Thinking Of You, by Sister Sledge
0:25:24 > 0:25:27and The Supremes, Why (Must We Fall In Love).
0:25:27 > 0:25:31Well done if you've got one of those at home. Let's take a look at the top three answers.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33The ones that most of our 100 people said.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37Frankie, actually the third highest answer of all.
0:25:37 > 0:25:42We Are family, Sister Sledge, again. And Baby Love, I'm afraid, Denise.
0:25:42 > 0:25:47Right up the top there, 39 points. Long way ahead of pretty much anything.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52So, at the end of our second round, the pair who are heading home
0:25:52 > 0:25:55with their high-ish score of 40, I'm afraid it's Fiona and Denise.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57You haven't done badly at all, you know.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59You're not leaving on the back of a 100 score, it's 40,
0:25:59 > 0:26:00it's very respectable.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03Anyway, it all bodes very well for when we next see you.
0:26:03 > 0:26:07We'll look forward to that very much indeed. Fiona and Denise.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11But for the Marks and Will and Neil, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18Congratulations Mark and Mark, Will and Neil,
0:26:18 > 0:26:21you're now one step closer to the final and a chance to play for our jackpot,
0:26:21 > 0:26:24which currently stands at £1,500.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27Well, now we have to decide who's going to play for that money
0:26:27 > 0:26:29and to do that, you are going to go head-to-head.
0:26:29 > 0:26:30The difference, of course, is
0:26:30 > 0:26:33you're now allowed to confer before you give your answers
0:26:33 > 0:26:36and the first player to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:26:36 > 0:26:40Best of luck to both pairs, let's play the head-to-head.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47OK, here comes your first question and it concerns...
0:26:51 > 0:26:54- Famous Bruces, Rich.- You're going to see five pictures now of people who have Bruce
0:26:54 > 0:26:58somewhere in their name, can you name the most obscure of these?
0:26:58 > 0:27:02OK, let's reveal our five famous Bruces and here they come...
0:27:02 > 0:27:03We've got...
0:27:22 > 0:27:25There we are, five famous Bruces..
0:27:25 > 0:27:29The Marks, you will go first because you scored the lowest throughout the show so far.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31THEY WHISPER INAUDIBLY
0:27:34 > 0:27:36We're going for E.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39I think it's the film star and Laura's dad,
0:27:39 > 0:27:41- Bruce Dern.- Bruce Dern.
0:27:41 > 0:27:42Bruce Dern, say the Marks.
0:27:42 > 0:27:46Now, Will and Neil, do you want to talk us through the other Bruces..
0:27:46 > 0:27:48Yeah. A is Fiona Bruce,
0:27:48 > 0:27:51B is Bruce Dickinson,
0:27:51 > 0:27:53C is Bruce Campbell.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55And D is Ken Bruce.
0:27:55 > 0:27:56Who are we going to go for?
0:27:56 > 0:27:58I think we'll go C.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01- C, Bruce Campbell. - OK, C, Bruce Campbell.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04So we have Bruce Dern versus Bruce Campbell.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07Now, the Marks have gone for Bruce Dern, E.
0:28:07 > 0:28:08Let's see if that's right,
0:28:08 > 0:28:11let's see how many of our 100 people said Bruce Dern, for E.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16It's right.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22That's a great answer, 7 for Bruce Dern.
0:28:26 > 0:28:31Well done. Will and Neil, meanwhile, have said that C Bruce Campbell.
0:28:31 > 0:28:35Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Bruce Campbell.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40It's right.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43It's going to have to beat 7, though.
0:28:43 > 0:28:44Is it going to do... It is!
0:28:44 > 0:28:47Look at that, 6! 6 for Bruce Campbell.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49HE LAUGHS
0:28:49 > 0:28:52I knew this was going to be an excellent head-to-head round.
0:28:52 > 0:28:56Very well done. Will and Neil, after one question you're up one-nil.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58Brilliant Bruce work from both teams there.
0:28:58 > 0:29:02It's the best two answers on the board. Bruce Campbell - famously, he has bit-parts in lots of films.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04He's written a book about it and all sorts of things.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06And Bruce Dern, as you say, father of Laura.
0:29:06 > 0:29:09Both nominated for Oscars in their time.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11Fiona Bruce, obviously is A.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14Biggest scorer up there, 75 points.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16B is Bruce Dickenson, as you say.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18Lead singer of Iron Maiden amongst his many other talents.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21That would have scored you 11 points.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23D is the lovely Ken Bruce.
0:29:23 > 0:29:28And Ken Bruce would have scored you 29 points.
0:29:28 > 0:29:31Thanks very much indeed. So, here comes your second question.
0:29:31 > 0:29:35The Marks, you have to win back here, otherwise it'll be goodbye.
0:29:35 > 0:29:38Best of luck. Our second question concerns...
0:29:41 > 0:29:45That's nice. We never really make enough space for love in this show.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48I think you are exactly right. It's time we do now.
0:29:48 > 0:29:52We're going to give you five clues now to answers all of which contain the word love
0:29:52 > 0:29:55somewhere in the answer. Either as a stand-alone word or part of a longer word.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58So, the answers to all of these clues contain the word love.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00Can you give us the most obscure answer?
0:30:00 > 0:30:03OK, let's reveal the five clues and here they come...
0:30:22 > 0:30:24I'll read those all one last time.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42Now, then. Will and Neil, you will go first.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45Erm... We're going to go for the top one,
0:30:45 > 0:30:49the Joy division track is Love Will Tear Us Apart.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51Love Will Tear Us Apart, say Will and Neil.
0:30:51 > 0:30:54Now, the Marks, talk us through the board.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58The second one down is Love Actually.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00I don't know the DH Lawrence novel, but I know you do.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02- That's Sons and Lovers, I think. - Yeah.
0:31:02 > 0:31:06- And I don't know the bottom one. - Oh, What A Lovely War! That one?
0:31:06 > 0:31:10But the Roadrunner singer, Jonathan Richman band, is The Modern Lovers.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12The Modern Lovers.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15OK, we have Love Will Tear Us Apart and we have The Modern Lovers.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17Will and Neil said Love Will Tear Us Apart.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20Let's see if that's right and let's see how many people said it.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24It is right.
0:31:27 > 0:31:2827.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30APPLAUSE
0:31:32 > 0:31:33Not a bad score.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36The Marks have gone for The Modern Lovers,
0:31:36 > 0:31:38this being Jonathan Richman's band, let's see if that's right,
0:31:38 > 0:31:40The Modern Lovers, how many people said it?
0:31:42 > 0:31:44It's right.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49If it beats 27, you're back in the game and it does. Very well done.
0:31:49 > 0:31:5110.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53APPLAUSE
0:31:53 > 0:31:5510 for The Modern Lovers, well done.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58The Marks are back. After two questions, it's one-all.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01Yeah, again the best answer on the board, The Modern Lovers.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03This is the way to play a head-to-head, terrific stuff.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06You knew the Richard Curtis film, Love Actually.
0:32:06 > 0:32:08Big scorer, though.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10It would have scored you 68.
0:32:10 > 0:32:14You also knew the bottom one, the musical, Oh, What A Lovely War!
0:32:14 > 0:32:17It would've scored you more points again, it would've scored you 20.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20But the DH Lawrence sequel is actually Women In Love.
0:32:22 > 0:32:26- Would have scored you 13 points. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:32:26 > 0:32:29So, it all comes down to question number three.
0:32:29 > 0:32:33Whoever wins this goes through to the final and plays for that jackpot. Best of luck to both pairs.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36It concerns...
0:32:39 > 0:32:43- Famous ski resorts, Richard.- We're going to show you the names of five famous ski resorts,
0:32:43 > 0:32:48but with alternate letters missing. Can you fill in the gaps? Whoever does will be playing for the jackpot.
0:32:48 > 0:32:53OK, let's reveal our five famous ski resorts and here they are with bits missing.
0:33:04 > 0:33:06I'll read those all one last time.
0:33:16 > 0:33:18The Marks will go first.
0:33:18 > 0:33:19THEY WHISPER INAUDIBLY
0:33:19 > 0:33:22( I don't know this. It is, yeah.)
0:33:22 > 0:33:24(What are they going to go for?)
0:33:24 > 0:33:27I think we're going to go for the second one, the Canada. We think it's Whistler.
0:33:27 > 0:33:30Whistler, say the Marks. Whistler.
0:33:30 > 0:33:34Now, then - Will and Neil, talk us through the rest of the board, if you can.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37We like Whistler, as well.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39Aspen, Val d'Isere.
0:33:41 > 0:33:46- We don't know the other two, effectively. So...- Aspen.- Aspen.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49You're going to go for Aspen. So, we have Whistler versus Aspen.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51Now, the Marks said Whistler.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said Whistler.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58It's right.
0:34:02 > 0:34:0420.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06APPLAUSE
0:34:06 > 0:34:0820, for Whistler.
0:34:08 > 0:34:13Will and Neil have gone for Aspen. Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said that.
0:34:15 > 0:34:16It's right.
0:34:18 > 0:34:2151.
0:34:21 > 0:34:26Very well done. After three questions, the Marks go through to the final, two-one.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28Brilliant play there, by the two Marks.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31There were two answers that would have beaten Whistler.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33The two you didn't know, unfortunately.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35Cos Val d'Isere would've scored too many points.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37Val d'Isere would've scored 39.
0:34:37 > 0:34:41- Now, the bottom one...- Is Zermatt. - ..is Zermatt, in Switzerland, yeah.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44It would've scored 12 points, as well. It would've been a terrific answer.
0:34:44 > 0:34:48- And the top one...- Courchevel. - Courchevel, yep. And that would've scored 5 points.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51So, the best answer by a mile. Very well done if you got that one at home.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54- That was a good head-to-head, wasn't it?- Yeah, wasn't it?- Blimey. - Very good indeed.
0:34:54 > 0:34:58The pair leaving us at the end of that head-to-head is Will and Neil, but you've played so well.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01What a blinder. You nicked that first question.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04You broke their serve with Bruce Campbell. That was a fantastic round.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07I'm afraid we have to say goodbye to you,
0:35:07 > 0:35:09but you've been such good contestants.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12You've been through to the head-to-head each time. Yeah, good work.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15Well done, sorry we have to say goodbye, though. Will and Neil.
0:35:15 > 0:35:17APPLAUSE
0:35:17 > 0:35:20But for Mark and Mark, it's now time for our Pointless Final.
0:35:25 > 0:35:28Congratulations, Mark T, Mark S. You fought off all the competition
0:35:28 > 0:35:31and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:35:38 > 0:35:43and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £1,500.
0:35:43 > 0:35:45I'm sorry it's not a bigger jackpot,
0:35:45 > 0:35:48because certainly this has been a bit of an epic performance.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51We've had a Pointless from you in each round. Very, very well done.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53As always, you get to choose your category in this round.
0:35:53 > 0:35:56There are four things on the board for you to choose from, let's see what they are.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07Do you like American sitcoms?
0:36:07 > 0:36:10Well, I know more than I do about the '20s.
0:36:10 > 0:36:13And New Zealand and World Footballers is so...
0:36:13 > 0:36:15innocuous as a question.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17- We're going to have to go for that, then.- Yeah.
0:36:17 > 0:36:20- All right, it's American Sitcoms. - American sitcoms it is. Richard...
0:36:20 > 0:36:23Good luck, gents. You've been brilliant at everything we've thrown at you.
0:36:23 > 0:36:27Hopefully, you can continue that run here. We are looking for the name of any actor or actress
0:36:27 > 0:36:31who's been credited with 25 or more performances in Seinfeld,
0:36:31 > 0:36:3425 or more performances in Frasier,
0:36:34 > 0:36:37or 25 or more performances in Roseanne.
0:36:37 > 0:36:41So, according to IMDb, any actor or actress who has had 25 or more performances
0:36:41 > 0:36:44in one of those three American sitcoms. Very best of luck.
0:36:44 > 0:36:48Thanks very much indeed, Richard. So, as always, you've got up to one minute
0:36:48 > 0:36:51to come up with three answers and all you need to win that jackpot
0:36:51 > 0:36:56- is for just one of those answers to be Pointless. Are you ready?- Yeah. - Yeah.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock, there they are.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01Your time starts now.
0:37:01 > 0:37:04- Well, what do you think?- Well, Seinfeld, obviously Jerry Seinfeld.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07- Yeah.- And Roseanne Barr. - Yeah, very good.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10- You've got Kelsey Grammer out of Frasier.- Kelsey Grammer, yeah.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13But I think they're not going to be very low scores...
0:37:13 > 0:37:17What's the name of the woman from Bolton who's in Frasier?
0:37:17 > 0:37:22- The one from Bolton?- Yeah, Jane... - What, the English girl? Yes.
0:37:22 > 0:37:27- Was it Jane?- Jane... Jane something.- It's the one in...
0:37:27 > 0:37:30I think we've picked a bad round, here. Can we choose again?
0:37:30 > 0:37:35Who was the one that he was in Cheers as well, that was in Frasier?
0:37:35 > 0:37:37- The woman?- The one that was...
0:37:39 > 0:37:43- We're not going to get anywhere with these, are we?- No.
0:37:43 > 0:37:47I'm really struggling. I saw her on the telly last night and I can't think of her name.
0:37:47 > 0:37:50- Oh, was she married to the little guy?- Yeah.
0:37:50 > 0:37:52Ten seconds left.
0:37:52 > 0:37:55I don't know. I don't think we're going to do this.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58- I don't think so.- No.
0:37:58 > 0:38:01It's a disaster, we should have picked something else.
0:38:01 > 0:38:04OK, that's your time up. I now need your three answers.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07- What are you going to give me?- Well, it's not looking very good, is it?
0:38:07 > 0:38:12- We've only got Jerry Seinfeld out of Seinfeld.- OK, Jerry Seinfeld.
0:38:12 > 0:38:17- Kelsey Grammer out of Frasier. - Kelsey Grammer.- And Roseanne Barr out of Roseanne.- Roseanne Barr.
0:38:18 > 0:38:21- I tell you what, three good answers. - They might be right!
0:38:21 > 0:38:25The three main characters don't actually mean that it's going to be...
0:38:25 > 0:38:27Anyway, what order would you like them to go in?
0:38:27 > 0:38:29I think it really matters little.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32Why don't we start from the top and work down as we are now.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35- So, Seinfeld at the top... - Seinfeld will go first.
0:38:35 > 0:38:39- Kelsey Grammer in the middle.- Kelsey Grammer in the middle. And Roseanne Barr can go last.- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:38:39 > 0:38:43OK, let's pop those up on the board in that order and here they are.
0:38:43 > 0:38:47We've got... Jerry Seinfeld, Kelsey Grammer
0:38:47 > 0:38:49and Roseanne Barr.
0:38:49 > 0:38:51Well, very, very best of luck.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53Three perfectly good answers there.
0:38:53 > 0:38:57We'll discover how many people might or might not have said them.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59But what if one of them turned out to be pointless?
0:38:59 > 0:39:04£1,500. Mark, what would you do with your share of that?
0:39:04 > 0:39:08Well, in that unlikely event, we do like to go on city breaks, myself and my wife,
0:39:08 > 0:39:11- so we'd probably go on a city break somewhere.- Good.
0:39:11 > 0:39:16But I'd also like to give some money to a school I support in Zambia, in Lusaka.
0:39:16 > 0:39:22- So, I'll give a donation to them, as well.- Mark?- I'd like to give it to a wife I support, in Newark.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24LAUGHTER
0:39:25 > 0:39:29OK, I just really wish, I wish we'd given you a category
0:39:29 > 0:39:33you'd have had more fun with. I'm sorry. Anyway, there we are.
0:39:33 > 0:39:37Your first answer was Jerry Seinfeld. Nothing wrong with any of these answers, I'm pretty sure.
0:39:37 > 0:39:40Let's find out if Jerry Seinfeld's right, for Seinfeld.
0:39:40 > 0:39:43Was he in Seinfeld? And if he was how many people said it?
0:39:43 > 0:39:46If it's pointless, you'll win £1,500.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51Well, it's right.
0:39:51 > 0:39:55Let's see how far down the column Jerry Seinfeld takes us. Down...
0:39:55 > 0:39:57Well, it's going through the 30s, into the 20s.
0:39:57 > 0:40:0029. There we are, 29, for Jerry Seinfeld.
0:40:02 > 0:40:07Not a pointless answer. Two more shots at today's Pointless jackpot.
0:40:07 > 0:40:10Your second answer, we were looking for cast members of Frasier,
0:40:10 > 0:40:13in this case you said Kelsey Grammer.
0:40:13 > 0:40:16Let's just find out how many people said Kelsey Grammer.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22Well, it's right.
0:40:22 > 0:40:26Jerry Seinfeld took us all the way down to 29.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28Kelsey Grammer, I wonder where he...
0:40:28 > 0:40:30Oh, 29, as well. Look at that.
0:40:30 > 0:40:33APPLAUSE
0:40:33 > 0:40:35Well, that's nice, there's parity between the pair of them.
0:40:35 > 0:40:38That's good, they'll be pleased with that.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41Only one more chance to win today's jackpot, you never know.
0:40:41 > 0:40:47In this case we were looking for cast members of Roseanne and you said Roseanne Barr.
0:40:47 > 0:40:51If it's pointless, you'll win £1,500.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53And I'll eat this podium.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55LAUGHTER
0:40:55 > 0:40:58Let's find out, how many people said Roseanne Barr?
0:41:00 > 0:41:05Well, it's right. Jerry Seinfeld took us to 29, Kelsey Grammer to...
0:41:05 > 0:41:07Oh, 55. Well...
0:41:07 > 0:41:09APPLAUSE DROWNS SPEECH
0:41:13 > 0:41:15Well, interesting to see what their different scores were.
0:41:15 > 0:41:19I'm interested that Jerry Seinfeld and Kelsey Grammer scored so much,
0:41:19 > 0:41:22SO much lower than Roseanne Barr.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24But we gave you a pig of a category there,
0:41:24 > 0:41:27it didn't really fit your particular areas of expertise.
0:41:27 > 0:41:29You didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32So, you don't win today's jackpot of £1,500.
0:41:32 > 0:41:34That now rolls over onto the next show.
0:41:34 > 0:41:38But you have been phenomenal right across the show. It's been great to have you on.
0:41:38 > 0:41:42I'm sorry we didn't give you, as I say, something better to play with in this last round.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45You, of course, get a Pointless trophy each to take home for your troubles.
0:41:45 > 0:41:47Very, very well done, Mark and Mark.
0:41:47 > 0:41:50APPLAUSE
0:41:51 > 0:41:54Yeah, I think Roseanne probably the biggest scorer there.
0:41:54 > 0:41:58Seinfeld was never a big hit show over here, ever. It's always been a niche show.
0:41:58 > 0:42:02Whereas, Roseanne was a big hit show. Kelsey Grammer, his name's not in the title.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05So, you know, I think that's why Roseanne Barr is the biggest scorer.
0:42:05 > 0:42:08The British actress you were thinking of from Frasier is Jane Leeves.
0:42:08 > 0:42:10Would have scored you 5 points, though, if you'd said, Jane Leeves.
0:42:10 > 0:42:15Let's take a look at the pointless answers. Fans of the shows would have done well on this.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18George Costanza's parents are played by Estelle Harris
0:42:18 > 0:42:20and Ben Stiller's dad, Jerry Stiller.
0:42:20 > 0:42:24They were both pointless answers. Ruth Cohen, Wayne Knight who plays Newman.
0:42:24 > 0:42:29Also, in all sorts of films, in Jurassic Park, lots of things. They were all pointless.
0:42:29 > 0:42:33Let's take a look at Frasier. There's only three answers, all of them work at the radio station.
0:42:33 > 0:42:36Dan Butler, who's Bulldog. Edward Hibbert, who's Gil Chesterton.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38And Tom McGowan who plays Kenny Daly.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40And the answers for Roseanne...
0:42:40 > 0:42:42you could have had Estelle Parsons.
0:42:42 > 0:42:45Becky's husband, played by Glenn Quinn.
0:42:45 > 0:42:48Laurie Metcalf who was Roseanne's sister in the show.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51And Sandra Bernhard the American comedienne, also a pointless answer.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54I think a few people at home would have got that one.
0:42:54 > 0:42:58Thanks very much indeed, Richard. Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to you, Mark and Mark,
0:42:58 > 0:43:01but it's been brilliant having you on the show and you have been phenomenal.
0:43:01 > 0:43:04Very, very well done. Thank you so much for playing. Mark and Mark.
0:43:04 > 0:43:06APPLAUSE
0:43:08 > 0:43:10Well, sadly, the Marks didn't win our jackpot today,
0:43:10 > 0:43:14which means it rolls over onto the next show when we will be playing for £2,500.
