0:00:20 > 0:00:23Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome
0:00:23 > 0:00:26to Pointless, the show that puts obscure knowledge to the test.
0:00:26 > 0:00:28Let's meet today's players.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35- And couple number one... - Hi, I'm Kate, this is Fred.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37I'm from Leeds and Fred's from Hertfordshire.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40- Couple number two...- Hello, I'm Derek, this is my lovely daughter
0:00:40 > 0:00:42Katie and we're from Worthing in Sussex.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45- Couple number three... - Hi, I'm Brian this is my friend Lee.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47I'm from Manchester, he's from Sheffield.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50- And finally couple number four.- Hi, I'm Angus, this is my wife Michelle
0:00:50 > 0:00:53- and we're from Bedford. - And these are today's contestants.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55APPLAUSE
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Thanks very much. We'll find out more about each of you throughout
0:00:58 > 0:01:01the show as it goes along. So, that just leaves one more person
0:01:01 > 0:01:04for me to introduce. Now patronising our players in high definition,
0:01:04 > 0:01:08- it's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.- Hiya. Hi, everybody. Hiya.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15- How are you, today?- I can't complain. - Excellent.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Er, I still can't get over that last show, unbelievable, wasn't it?
0:01:18 > 0:01:23- Chev and Danny.- I know.- It was football, 19th century football,
0:01:23 > 0:01:26sounds rather dry. But you had to name various things. Three answers...
0:01:26 > 0:01:30- ..all three of them pointless.- All pointless.- Three pointless answers.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34- Doesn't happen very often, does it? - No.- Absolutely terrific from Danny.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37Thanks very much indeed, Richard. Now, as usual, all of today's
0:01:37 > 0:01:39questions have been put to 100 people before the show
0:01:39 > 0:01:42and our contestants are on the hunt for those answers that
0:01:42 > 0:01:45our 100 people couldn't get. If anyone finds a pointless answer,
0:01:45 > 0:01:47we will of course add £250 to the jackpot.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Now, Chev and Danny won the jackpot last time, so today's jackpot
0:01:50 > 0:01:52starts off back at £1,000.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:01:55 > 0:01:56APPLAUSE
0:01:59 > 0:02:02OK, now all you have to remember is that the pair with the highest score
0:02:02 > 0:02:06at the end of each round will be eliminated, so do everything you can
0:02:06 > 0:02:09to make sure it's not you. OK, our first category today, is...
0:02:12 > 0:02:14World Geography. Can you all decide in your pairs
0:02:14 > 0:02:17who's going to go first, who's going to go second.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20And whoever is going first please step up to the podium.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24OK, let's find out what the question is, and here it comes.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28We gave 100 people, 100 seconds to name as many capital cities
0:02:28 > 0:02:31of countries beginning with A, B, C, or D, as they could
0:02:32 > 0:02:36Capital cities of countries beginning with A, B, C, or D.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39- Richard.- Yeah, you're looking for any country in the world
0:02:39 > 0:02:41whose name begins with A, B, C, or D.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44We're looking for the capital of any of those, please.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46So, what are their capitals?
0:02:46 > 0:02:49As always, by country we mean a sovereign state
0:02:49 > 0:02:52that's a member of the UN in its own right. Very, very best of luck.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55OK. Now, to make it a little bit easier for you we're going to put
0:02:55 > 0:02:58a little reminder up on the board of what we want those countries
0:02:58 > 0:03:01to begin with. Not the capital cities you're going to give.
0:03:01 > 0:03:06- There we are...- That's handy, that is handy.- Those are going to stay up there the whole way through it.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09We're not going to change those letters halfway through the round.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Just as a little aide memoir for you. Well, just in case anyone
0:03:11 > 0:03:14forgets what those letters look like.
0:03:14 > 0:03:20That's them in the uppercase. C, interestingly, remains much the same
0:03:20 > 0:03:24in the lower case, as well. That's a...
0:03:24 > 0:03:27..a bit of take-home there for you.
0:03:27 > 0:03:32- And we've got one letter there with vertical symmetry, that's A.- Yeah.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35And one letter with horizontal. No actually two, three with horizontal.
0:03:35 > 0:03:40Three. The other three have horizontal symmetry, which is quite something.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43But, A, very much the only one there with vertical symmetry.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47There you go. Now then, Kate. Welcome back.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Welcome, our only returning pair. Anyway, remind us what you do, Kate.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53I'm a student at the University of Birmingham studying geography,
0:03:53 > 0:03:58- with computer science.- Geography? - Yeah.- So, you've got to fancy your chances...
0:03:58 > 0:04:01- I shouldn't have said that, should I?- No, you shouldn't have said that.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04- Are you feeling confident about this?- I think so, I hope so.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07OK. It's quite complicated, isn't it? A country beginning with
0:04:07 > 0:04:09one of those letters but we're after the capital city.
0:04:09 > 0:04:15The capital of Andorra, which I believe is also called Andorra.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18- Andorra.- Mm-hmm.- Let's see if that's right, and if it is let's see
0:04:18 > 0:04:20how many of our 100 people said Andorra.
0:04:22 > 0:04:27- Ooh, no, Kate!- What?! I could have sworn it is.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30- We will find out why that is wrong. - Oh.- Oh, I'm so sorry.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33Oh, I was all ready to say, "That's more like it!"
0:04:33 > 0:04:35I'm afraid it's less like it.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38- I'm really sorry, 100 points. Richard...- Yeah, sorry Kate.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Not the capital of Andorra, I'm afraid. I'll tell you what it is
0:04:41 > 0:04:44- at the end of the pass.- OK. Sorry. - (That's all right.)
0:04:44 > 0:04:47- OK. Now Katie, welcome.- Thank you. - Welcome, and what do you do, Katie?
0:04:47 > 0:04:50- I am a secondary school drama teacher.- That's fun.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54- How long have you done that for? - The last four years.- Do you love it?
0:04:54 > 0:04:57- I really do love it, yes.- And what are your productions at the moment?
0:04:57 > 0:05:00- What are you working on?- We have done Guys and Dolls in the past.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04- That was our latest production. - Did you direct it?- Yes.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06- Good. I was Sky Masterson in Guys and Dolls.- Oh, were you?- Yes.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09- I can see that.- Yeah, thank you.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13It's a good part, that's what she means, I think. I'm taking that as a compliment.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16Now then, we are looking for capital cities.
0:05:16 > 0:05:21- How are you on capital cities?- Well, geography is not my strongest suit,
0:05:21 > 0:05:25but I did go InterRailing around Eastern Europe with my husband,
0:05:25 > 0:05:31a few you years back. And I seem to remember that the capital of Croatia is Zagreb.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Zagreb, says Katie. Let's see if that's right and if it is let's see
0:05:34 > 0:05:36how many of our hundred people said Zagreb?
0:05:39 > 0:05:40It's right.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49Wow! Oh, very well indeed Katie. 5 for Zagreb, good answer.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51APPLAUSE
0:05:53 > 0:05:56It's been in existence since about 1053, Zagreb.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59- Well, that's the first time it's mentioned.- Thanks very much.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02- Now, Lee, welcome.- Thank you very much.- Welcome to Pointless,
0:06:02 > 0:06:04- what do you do, Lee?- I'm a nurse practitioner
0:06:04 > 0:06:06in a pre-operative assessment unit in Sheffield.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09- Pre-operative assessment means, what?- It means I see patients when
0:06:09 > 0:06:13they've got surgeries planned and I just make sure that they're as fit,
0:06:13 > 0:06:16or fit enough to have the surgery.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18And what you get up to in your spare time, Lee?
0:06:18 > 0:06:22Well, I love tennis, I play a lot of tennis competitively and socially.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24- And I also love the theatre. - Fantastic.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28- Lee, what are you going to go for? - I think I'm going to go with
0:06:28 > 0:06:33- the capital of Azerbaijan is Baku. - Baku, says Lee, Baku.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said Baku.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42It's right. Well, 100, our high score, you've passed that.
0:06:42 > 0:06:445 is our low.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48You passed that too. Very well done, Baku gets you two.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50APPLAUSE
0:06:53 > 0:06:55That's a terrific answer. Yeah, very well played.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58In the late 19th century, it was a massive boom town, Baku.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01- It produced half the world's oil. - Did they?- Yeah, they did indeed.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03That's good.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07- Now then, Angus.- Hello.- A very warm welcome to you.- Thank you.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10- Here from Bedford?- Yep.- What do you do, Angus?
0:07:10 > 0:07:13- I'm a warehouse assistant.- OK, and what are your hobbies, Angus?
0:07:13 > 0:07:16I like football and greyhound racing is a passion of mine.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19- Is it? Do you have greyhounds, or do you just follow?- No, I follow.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22I've owned greyhounds in the past with friends,
0:07:22 > 0:07:26but since I got married and we've got a family, that takes priority.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30Quite right. OK, now, Angus. Capital cities, how do we feel about that?
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Yes, it's not a bad one for me, actually. I quite enjoyed geography
0:07:33 > 0:07:37at school. So, I thought I'd head the South American route
0:07:37 > 0:07:40and go for Argentina's capital Buenos Aires.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43OK, Buenos Aires, says Angus. Let's see if that's right,
0:07:43 > 0:07:46and if it is let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49It's right.
0:07:54 > 0:07:5614.
0:07:56 > 0:07:57APPLAUSE
0:07:58 > 0:08:01- 14 for Buenos Aires.- Yeah, well played, Angus.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04Capital of Argentina. It's got the, one of the world's widest streets,
0:08:04 > 0:08:08- right down the middle of Buenos Aires.- Thank you very much.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11Let's take a look at those scores. 2, the best score of that pass, Lee.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14Very well done indeed. Up to 5, where we find Katie and Derek.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18Up to 14, where we find Angus and Michelle. And, oh, I'm sorry Kate...
0:08:18 > 0:08:21- That's OK.- I'm sorry, you are out there in front. Anything could
0:08:21 > 0:08:24happen in the next pass though. We're going to come back down the
0:08:24 > 0:08:28line now. Could the second players please step up to the podium.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32OK, we are looking for capital cities of countries whose
0:08:32 > 0:08:35names begin with, A, B, C, or D.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38- Now, Michelle.- Hello.- Welcome to pointless.- Thank you.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42- What do you do, Michelle?- I'm a paralegal.- I'm longing to know
0:08:42 > 0:08:45- what a paralegal is.- You know what paralegal is,
0:08:45 > 0:08:48it's someone who works in a court, but comes in by helicopter.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51That's kind of what... That is genuinely what I think
0:08:51 > 0:08:55- it probably is. What is it?- Well, I work for a firm of trademark attorneys.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58So, I just assist them with the work they do, brand protection
0:08:58 > 0:09:02and they do the complicated stuff, I do the easy stuff.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05OK, there you are, you're on 14. Good answer from Angus there.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09The high scorers are Fred and Katie on 100. So, 85 or less will keep you
0:09:09 > 0:09:11in the game for sure.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13I did have one that came to my mind straightaway,
0:09:13 > 0:09:16but I think it might be a bit too risky.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20So, I think Djibouti has got a capital city,
0:09:20 > 0:09:22which is also called Djibouti.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26- OK. This didn't work so well last time.- No.- But we'll find out.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29- That's what I was thinking.- There is your red line, if you can get below
0:09:29 > 0:09:32that you're definitely in the next round.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Let's see if Djibouti is right, for Djibouti.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39It's right! Very well done and you are through to the next round.
0:09:43 > 0:09:49One! The best score of the round so far. Takes your total up to 15.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54- Richard.- Very well played, Michelle. Yeah, we had Djibouti the other day,
0:09:54 > 0:09:56didn't we? We had Donna, who's an American politics lecturer
0:09:56 > 0:09:59and got a pointless answer with it. She'd written a book all about it,
0:09:59 > 0:10:02called Jimmy Carter and the Horn of Africa.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05- That was the name of her book.- Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Brian, welcome to the show, good to have you here. What do you do?
0:10:08 > 0:10:12- I'm a GP.- A GP?- Yeah.- And whereabouts?
0:10:12 > 0:10:16- Stockport in greater Manchester. - Excellent. Not that you probably get
0:10:16 > 0:10:19a lot of time off, but when you do, what you do with it?
0:10:19 > 0:10:21I am also passionate about tennis, that's how I met Lee.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24So, we met in the same tennis club.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26- So, that's the main thing I do. - Do you play competitively?
0:10:26 > 0:10:29Yeah, semi-competitively, yeah.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32We sometimes go on trips abroad for little jollies,
0:10:32 > 0:10:35for weekends away and play tennis, as part of our tennis club.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38Excellent. Now, there you are, you're on 2,
0:10:38 > 0:10:41the high score is still Fred and Kate on 100.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43So, 97 or less gets you through.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46Now, with your touring around with tennis,
0:10:46 > 0:10:48you must know a little bit about capital cities?
0:10:48 > 0:10:51I can't think of any European ones, which is where we go touring.
0:10:51 > 0:10:55But I will think of a South American one,
0:10:55 > 0:10:58Chile and I'm going to go for Santiago.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00OK, Santiago, says Brian.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03Lee did very, very well with his low score of 2 in the first pass.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05Let's see how Santiago does, there's your red line.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07How many people said Santiago?
0:11:10 > 0:11:12It's right.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Good answer. Down it goes. 5, very well done indeed
0:11:18 > 0:11:20APPLAUSE
0:11:20 > 0:11:237, is your total, our lowest total of the round so far.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Yeah, terrific answer, very well played.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29It was originally called Santiago del Nuevo Extremo.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32Very good. Now, Derek, welcome.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36- Welcome today, what do you do, Derek?- I'm a Systems Consultant
0:11:36 > 0:11:38for a large insurance provider in Sussex.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41And what you get up to in your spare time?
0:11:41 > 0:11:45I play the drums, I really enjoy playing music.
0:11:45 > 0:11:50- I play in three big bands. - Three bands?- Three big bands, yes.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53So, it's big-band style. So, swing drumming, that kind of thing?
0:11:53 > 0:11:56- It's a 17 piece big band.- Fantastic. - With five saxes, four trumpets,
0:11:56 > 0:11:59- four trombones.- Excellent. Well, there you are, you're on 5.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01The high-scorers are still Fred and Kate.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04So, yes, 94 or less sees you through.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07I did have Santiago in mind.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10But I've got another one as well, which I hope will work
0:12:10 > 0:12:15- and that's the capital of Barbados, Georgetown.- Georgetown, says Derek.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17I think that's a great answer. There's your red line.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Let's see if Georgetown gets you below it.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26Ooh! Oh, Derek, I'm afraid for some reason that is an incorrect answer.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30We'll do discover why. It takes your total up to 105.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33Yeah, sorry, Derek. Georgetown is the capital of Guyana,
0:12:33 > 0:12:35not Barbados, I'm afraid.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39And we've given you the letters there, we couldn't have been plainer.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Look at that. We've written them...
0:12:41 > 0:12:44We've written so big for you, A, B, C, or D.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46- G, of course...- I tell you what...
0:12:46 > 0:12:49- ..has neither vertical nor horizontal symmetry. So...- N-o-o-o.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51- ..it wouldn't really be at home on that board.- No.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55- F and G are the first two to have neither.- Yeah?
0:12:55 > 0:12:59- Still, makes the last podium very exciting.- It does, it certainly does.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02Fred, we have a game on our hands. Now, Fred what do you do?
0:13:02 > 0:13:04I'm also a student at the University of Birmingham.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08- I'm studying political economy. - Political economy? OK.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11Now there you are, you're on 100. You have to score 4 or less.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13You can't leave us again in the first round.
0:13:13 > 0:13:18- I'm probably going to go for the capital of Austria...- OK.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22- ..which is Vienna.- OK. Vienna, says Fred. Now, there's your red line.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25You have to get below that.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Good luck. Let's see, Vienna, is it right?
0:13:27 > 0:13:29How many people said it, if it is?
0:13:31 > 0:13:33It's right.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42Oh, no. I'm so sorry. 7, You needed 4.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Oh, my God.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49I'm so sorry, that takes your total up to 107.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Sorry, Fred. Just too many points there. Kate, you were very unlucky
0:13:52 > 0:13:55on that first round. The capital of Andorra is Andorra la Vella.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58- I thought it might be. Yeah. - I'm sorry about that. Did you have
0:13:58 > 0:14:01- any others in mind that you were going to go for?- I could have done
0:14:01 > 0:14:04- Bridgetown, Barbados.- Bridgetown is Barbados, absolutely.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08- Bridgetown would have been a pointless answer...- No!
0:14:08 > 0:14:10..as well. Yeah, yeah. So, really, really unlucky.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14I'm so sorry about that. Lots of other pointless answers up here.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17Let's take a look...
0:14:17 > 0:14:19the capital of Belize, Belmopan. Gaborone, that's Botswana.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23Kinshasa, which is Democratic Republic of Congo.
0:14:23 > 0:14:28All those pointless. Nicosia, Cyprus. Ouagadougou, which is Burkina Faso.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31Phnom Penh, which is Cambodia.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33You could have had Roseau, which is Dominica.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36St John's which is Antigua and Barbuda.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38And Yerevan, which is Armenia.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41There's lots of others, you could have had Bandar Seri Begawan, which is Brunei.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44You could have had Brazzaville, Congo.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47Bridgetown, Barbados, would've been a terrific answer.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51Bujumbura, which is Burundi. Manama, Bahrain. There's Moroni, which is the Comoros.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54N'Djamena, which is Chad. Porto Novo, Benin.
0:14:54 > 0:14:59Praia, which is Cape Verde Islands. San Jose, Costa Rica.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Thimphu, Bhutan.
0:15:02 > 0:15:06And Yamoussoukro, which is Cote d'Ivoire. All of those are pointless answers,
0:15:06 > 0:15:08so very well done if you said one of those at home.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11Thanks very much indeed, Richard. So at the end of our first round,
0:15:11 > 0:15:15the pair heading home, I'm so sorry that was really unfortunate.
0:15:15 > 0:15:20High score of 107, only just the high-scorers. Great answer from you, Fred
0:15:20 > 0:15:23and so nearly a great answer from you, Kate. It's been great having
0:15:23 > 0:15:26you on both shows, I'm sorry we have to say goodbye to you now.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29- Thank you.- Thanks so very much for playing, Fred and Kate.
0:15:29 > 0:15:33But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39Well, three pairs remain. Obviously at the end of this round
0:15:39 > 0:15:41we have to say goodbye to another pair.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43But this is going to be a belter of a round.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46Our category for Round Two is...
0:15:49 > 0:15:54Sporting achievements. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:15:54 > 0:15:56And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02And the question concerns...
0:16:07 > 0:16:10Durable, wipe clean sports people.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12LAUGHTER
0:16:12 > 0:16:14It does sound like a terrible Christmas toy, doesn't it?
0:16:14 > 0:16:18The durable sportsperson. On each pass, we're going to show you six clues to sports people
0:16:18 > 0:16:21who had particularly long careers in their chosen field.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23You just need to tell us who those sportspeople are, please.
0:16:23 > 0:16:27There's going to be six on each pass, 12 in all to have a go at home, so best of luck.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30OK, let's reveal our first board of six sports men and women.
0:16:30 > 0:16:31Who are they?
0:17:01 > 0:17:03I'll read those all one last time.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31There we are. Six sportspeople for you. Derek?
0:17:32 > 0:17:34How are we feeling about this as a board?
0:17:34 > 0:17:38Well, I know one or two of those, I think.
0:17:38 > 0:17:43I'm going to take a chance on the cricketer and say WG Grace.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47WG Grace, says Derek. Let's see if that's right
0:17:47 > 0:17:50and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said WG Grace.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54It's right.
0:17:59 > 0:18:04Three. That is an excellent answer. That's more like it.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08- Puts Georgetown to bed. Three.- Well played, Derek. Terrific answer, yeah.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11He was also a doctor. He had his own medical practice down in Bristol.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15So, a great sportsman and a GP. He was very much the 19th century Brian.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18Mm. Thank you very much indeed. Now then, Lee.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20Lee...
0:18:20 > 0:18:24- How does that board appear to you? - Sport should be good subject for me.
0:18:24 > 0:18:28- I'm certain of one of them.- Yes.
0:18:28 > 0:18:32And relatively confident about two of them.
0:18:32 > 0:18:37So, I think I'm going to go with a sport that I enjoy, which is horse racing,
0:18:37 > 0:18:40and the 11 time champion jockey. I'm going to go for Lester Piggott.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42Lester Piggott, says Lee. Let's see if that's right,
0:18:42 > 0:18:45let's see how many people said Lester Piggott.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48It's right.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55Very well done. 10 for Lester Piggott.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57APPLAUSE
0:18:59 > 0:19:01Well played, Lee. Bravery rewarded there.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04They called him The Long Fellow, because he was five foot nine,
0:19:04 > 0:19:07which for a jockey is very, very tall.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10So, his weight issues were very hard for him.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12I bet. Yeah.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15Thanks very much indeed. Now, Angus. You're the last person to have
0:19:15 > 0:19:17this board, do fancy talking us through it?
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Those were the first two I thought of gone, so that's that.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23I'm struggling a bit with the others. So, I'm going to play safe
0:19:23 > 0:19:27and hope the wife can get me out of trouble and go for the Welsh footballer
0:19:27 > 0:19:29for Manchester United, and that's Ryan Giggs.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33OK, Ryan Giggs, says Angus. Let's see how many people said that.
0:19:39 > 0:19:4143.
0:19:41 > 0:19:45Not as bad as it could have been, actually, Angus. 43.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48Yeah, a pretty big score, but better safe than sorry.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51He's been at Man United for so many years. Sir Alex Ferguson said
0:19:51 > 0:19:54the first time he saw him, he was aged 13. He said, "he floated across
0:19:54 > 0:19:57"the floor like a cocker spaniel chasing a piece of silver paper."
0:19:57 > 0:19:59LAUGHTER
0:19:59 > 0:20:02- That's a... That's an image. - Isn't it, though?- Isn't it?!
0:20:02 > 0:20:05Now let's look through the rest of these.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07- Any guesses for the snooker player? - Steve Davis?
0:20:07 > 0:20:10It is Steve Davis, yeah. Would've been a good answer,
0:20:10 > 0:20:12would've scored 18 points.
0:20:12 > 0:20:16- Any guesses for the golfer? - Tom Watson.- It was Tom Watson, yeah.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19Even better score for that, actually. It would have scored you 7.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22And the best answer on the board is the boxer, very well done
0:20:22 > 0:20:24if you knew, it's Bernard Hopkins.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28That was a pointless answer, the brilliant Bernard Hopkins.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Thanks very much indeed. We're halfway through the round,
0:20:30 > 0:20:33let's take a look at those scores. 3, the best score of that pass.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35Very well done, Derek. Very good low-scoring there.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39Then up to 10, where we find Lee and Brian. Then up to 43 Angus and Michelle.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42- Well, Michelle, he's left you a bit of a hill to climb there.- He has.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45A hill not a mountain, though. Best of luck with that.
0:20:45 > 0:20:50We're going to come back down the line now, can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:20:50 > 0:20:53OK, we're going to put six more clues up on the board
0:20:53 > 0:20:55and here they come. Six more sports people...
0:21:25 > 0:21:26I'll read those all one last time.
0:21:53 > 0:21:58There we are, six sports men and women for you to guess at, Michelle.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02I've got... I can picture the swimmer in my head.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04I can't...I can't remember his name.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06So I'm going to have to go for
0:22:06 > 0:22:09the gymnast who retired in 2013 and say Beth Tweddle.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Beth Tweddle, says Michelle.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14Now, no red line for you as you're the highest scorers.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17But let's see how far down the column Beth Tweddle gets you.
0:22:19 > 0:22:20It is right.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29- 18. - APPLAUSE
0:22:29 > 0:22:3161 your total there, Michelle.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36Yeah, she won an Olympic bronze AND a series of Dancing On Ice.
0:22:36 > 0:22:37How about that?
0:22:37 > 0:22:39Now, then...
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Brian, 61 is the highest score from Angus and Michelle there.
0:22:42 > 0:22:43You're on 10.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45So 50 or less is all you need
0:22:45 > 0:22:47to get through to the head-to-head.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49OK. I know the tennis player,
0:22:49 > 0:22:52but I think that might be too high, I think.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55So, I think I know the swimmer.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58But I'm worried I've got the surname wrong.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01But I think I'm going to go for the swimmer. Er,...
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Mark Foster.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06Mark Foster, says Brian. Mark Foster. There's your red line.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09Get below that with Mark Foster, you're in the head-to-head.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12Let's see if it's right. Let's see how many people said it.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Very well done indeed.
0:23:19 > 0:23:20Good answer. Down it goes.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22Look at that! 4 for Mark Foster.
0:23:25 > 0:23:2614 your total.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Yeah, terrific answer again there.
0:23:29 > 0:23:33- And he's actually got a Pointless trophy, Mark Foster.- Mmmm.- Hasn't he?
0:23:33 > 0:23:35Well, we say that. He might have put it on eBay, of course.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37LAUGHTER.
0:23:37 > 0:23:38- Foster wouldn't have done that. - I doubt it.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Mark Foster would sell every medal he has
0:23:41 > 0:23:43before he'd put that Pointless trophy on eBay.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45- I know that for a fact. - Yeah, he would. Thank you.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48Now, Katie...
0:23:48 > 0:23:51Erm,...I knew Beth Tweddle.
0:23:51 > 0:23:52But that was the only one I knew.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55I'm going to take a guess at the tennis player,
0:23:55 > 0:23:57but I'm...I'm probably wrong.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00Erm,...but I'm just going to have to take a punt at it
0:24:00 > 0:24:01and I'm going to go with
0:24:01 > 0:24:02Maria Sharapova.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Maria Sharapova.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08Maria Sharapova aged 46.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Yeah, that's probably not very flattering, is it?
0:24:10 > 0:24:13Er,...well, maybe she's not watching this one.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15- LAUGHTER. - Erm...
0:24:15 > 0:24:16There's your red line.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19Let's see if Maria Sharapova gets you below that red line.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23No, I'm sorry.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25Not Maria Sharapova. I'm sorry, Katie.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28An incorrect answer takes your total up to 103.
0:24:28 > 0:24:29Yeah, sorry, Katie.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33It's even worse. She was 46 in 2003, which would make her 57 now.
0:24:33 > 0:24:37Which is... That's fully 31 years older than she is actually is.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40It's Martina Navratilova, the answer to that one.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43Would have scored you 28 points.
0:24:43 > 0:24:47The Wizard Of Dribble was Sir Stanley Matthews.
0:24:47 > 0:24:48He would have scored you 17.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50Up the top there, the darts player,
0:24:50 > 0:24:52who's also been on Pointless Celebrities,
0:24:52 > 0:24:55but better known for being a darts player, Phil Taylor.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57Phil "The Power" would have scored 14.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00And the best answer on the board is the US quarterback, Brett Favre.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03Would have scored you 2 points. Well done if you said that.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05Thanks very much, Richard.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07So, at the end of our second round, the pair heading home,
0:25:07 > 0:25:10they started so well, a lovely low score of 3,
0:25:10 > 0:25:13and then, I'm afraid, the board served you ill.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Katie, sorry. We have to say goodbye to you.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17But we'll see you again next time. We look forward to that.
0:25:17 > 0:25:18Katie and Derek...
0:25:18 > 0:25:20APPLAUSE
0:25:22 > 0:25:24But, for Angus and Michelle, Brian and Lee,
0:25:24 > 0:25:26it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:25:26 > 0:25:27APPLAUSE
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Congratulations, Brian and Lee, Angus and Michelle.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34You're one step closer to the final
0:25:34 > 0:25:36and a chance to play for our jackpot,
0:25:36 > 0:25:38which currently stands at...
0:25:38 > 0:25:40Now, we have to decide who's going to play for that money
0:25:40 > 0:25:43and, to do that, you are going to go head-to-head.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45The difference is you can now talk before you give your answers.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:25:48 > 0:25:52Very well done, Brian and Lee. What a performance. Low scores.
0:25:52 > 0:25:53I mean, really low scores in every round.
0:25:53 > 0:25:54Angus and Michelle...
0:25:54 > 0:25:57Angus, you said you hoped Michelle would dig you out of a hole there.
0:25:57 > 0:25:58She did.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:26:01 > 0:26:02APPLAUSE
0:26:06 > 0:26:10OK, here comes your first question and it concerns...
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Films with horses, Richard.
0:26:15 > 0:26:16Yep. Simply going to show you
0:26:16 > 0:26:18five stills from films that feature horses.
0:26:18 > 0:26:19Can you name the films?
0:26:19 > 0:26:22OK, let's reveal our five stills.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24And here they come.
0:26:24 > 0:26:25We've got...
0:26:42 > 0:26:46There we are. Five films with horses.
0:26:46 > 0:26:47Brian and Lee, you will go first
0:26:47 > 0:26:49as you've played best throughout the show so far.
0:26:51 > 0:26:52What do you reckon?
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Shall we go A?
0:26:55 > 0:26:57A... OK.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59We're going to go for A.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02And we think that's National Velvet.
0:27:02 > 0:27:06National Velvet, say Brian and Lee. National Velvet for A. OK.
0:27:06 > 0:27:07Now, Angus and Michelle,
0:27:07 > 0:27:09do you fancy talking us through the whole board?
0:27:09 > 0:27:11We can talk you through half of it.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14I think B is The Horse Whisperer.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16We think C might be War Horse.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18I don't know D or E.
0:27:18 > 0:27:19I think they're right with A.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21I didn't know it until they said it but it makes sense.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23I think that's Liz Taylor, so...
0:27:23 > 0:27:25We're going to go with B and say The Horse Whisperer.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27You're going to say B, The Horse Whisperer.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30So we have National Velvet versus The Horse Whisperer.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32Brian and Lee said National Velvet for A.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34Let's see if that's right and, if it is,
0:27:34 > 0:27:35let's see how many people said it.
0:27:37 > 0:27:38It's right.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44Good answer... Oooh, 29 for National Velvet.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51I think I'm right in saying that's your first double-figures score.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53Is it low enough to see you through?
0:27:53 > 0:27:56Angus and Michelle have said that B is The Horse Whisperer.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58Let's see if that's right and, if it is,
0:27:58 > 0:28:00let's see how many people said that.
0:28:02 > 0:28:03It's right.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06Has to beat 29...
0:28:06 > 0:28:08Oh, and it does. Look at that!
0:28:08 > 0:28:09- 12! - APPLAUSE
0:28:09 > 0:28:1112 for The Horse Whisperer.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13Very well done, Angus and Michelle.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15You've nicked that one. Very good indeed.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17After one question, you're up 1-nil.
0:28:17 > 0:28:18Well played, Angus and Michelle.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21You chose well because you're right about War Horse.
0:28:21 > 0:28:25It would have scored you more points. It would have scored you 40.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27The next one, D, is the toughest on the board.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30That's Viggo Mortensen and he's in Hidalgo.
0:28:30 > 0:28:34That would have scored you 1 point. So terrific answer if you got it.
0:28:34 > 0:28:38And the last one, that is Cleavon Little playing the sheriff in...
0:28:38 > 0:28:42- Blazing Saddles... - Blazing Saddles, yeah. 24 points.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45Thanks very much. So, here's your second question.
0:28:45 > 0:28:47Brian and Lee, your serve was broken there.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50You're going to have to break back here.
0:28:50 > 0:28:52Best of luck. It concerns...
0:28:55 > 0:28:58Good luck with that. Government Departments. Richard...
0:28:58 > 0:29:00Just to get the old pulses racing a bit,
0:29:00 > 0:29:01a government departments round.
0:29:01 > 0:29:04We're going to show you the names of five government departments.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06We've removed alternate letters from their names.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08Can you fill in those gaps?
0:29:08 > 0:29:11OK, let's reveal our government departments with bits missing.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13And here they are. We've got...
0:29:33 > 0:29:36I'll read those again. We have...
0:29:51 > 0:29:53Phew...! Angus and Michelle,
0:29:53 > 0:29:55you will go first this time.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59The only one I don't know is the second one.
0:29:59 > 0:30:01Top one is Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
0:30:01 > 0:30:03Then it's Ministry of Justice, Northern Ireland Office
0:30:03 > 0:30:04and the Home Office.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06- The Home Office will be too much. - Yeah.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08First or fourth, I think. Fourth?
0:30:08 > 0:30:11- I think the first one. - Yeah. Go for that. Yeah.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14OK, erm,...we know a couple of them.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16It's picking one we think will be the lowest.
0:30:16 > 0:30:17I think we're going to go for the top one,
0:30:17 > 0:30:20which is the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23The Foreign and Commonwealth Office, say Angus and Michelle.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26Now, Brian and Lee, can you talk us through all the others?
0:30:26 > 0:30:28Well, that was the one we didn't know.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31So we're figuring that might be a good answer, yeah.
0:30:31 > 0:30:35But, if we go through the board, Department For Transport,
0:30:35 > 0:30:37Ministry of Justice,
0:30:37 > 0:30:39the Northern Ireland Office
0:30:39 > 0:30:41and the Home Office.
0:30:41 > 0:30:43We'll go for the Northern Ireland Office.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45You're going for the Northern Ireland Office.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47So, we have the Foreign and Commonwealth Office
0:30:47 > 0:30:49and the Northern Ireland Office.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51Angus and Michelle said Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53Let's see if that's right
0:30:53 > 0:30:56and, if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:30:57 > 0:30:58It's right.
0:31:02 > 0:31:05- 28! - APPLAUSE
0:31:07 > 0:31:1028 for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13Now then, Brian and Lee, you have to win this one to stay in the game.
0:31:13 > 0:31:17Let's find out if you've done it. The Northern Ireland Office.
0:31:17 > 0:31:18How many people said that?
0:31:20 > 0:31:21It's right.
0:31:23 > 0:31:24Has to beat 28.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27It does. Well done! Back in the game.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30- 16. - APPLAUSE
0:31:31 > 0:31:35Very well done indeed. Proper needle head-to-head.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38Brian and Lee, back in the game. You've broken back, it's 1-all.
0:31:38 > 0:31:40Well played, gents. I think Angus and Michelle knew that one as well.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43So it's a terrific head-to-head so far.
0:31:43 > 0:31:45So, actually, not the best answer on the board.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47The best answer on the board, which you also knew,
0:31:47 > 0:31:51was the Department for Transport, which would have scored you 15.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53See those letters, difficult to fit in.
0:31:53 > 0:31:58Ministry of Justice, slightly bigger scorer. Would have scored you 41.
0:31:58 > 0:32:02And the biggest score on the board, the Home Office, which scores 55.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04Thank you very much indeed.
0:32:04 > 0:32:06OK, here comes the decider. Your third question.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09Whoever wins this gets to play for the jackpot.
0:32:09 > 0:32:10It concerns...
0:32:12 > 0:32:14Diamonds.
0:32:14 > 0:32:15Diamonds, Richard...
0:32:15 > 0:32:18We're going to show you five clues now to answers,
0:32:18 > 0:32:20all of which contain the word "diamond".
0:32:20 > 0:32:22Can you give us the most obscure of those answers?
0:32:22 > 0:32:25The team that does goes through to play for the jackpot. So, good luck.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28OK. Thanks very much indeed. Let's reveal our five clues.
0:32:28 > 0:32:29And here they come...
0:32:50 > 0:32:52I'll read those all one last time.
0:33:09 > 0:33:10Now, Brian and Lee,
0:33:10 > 0:33:11you will go first.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25We're going to go for number 2.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27I'm Not A Robot.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29And we think that's Marina and the Diamonds.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32Marina and the Diamonds, say Brian and Lee.
0:33:32 > 0:33:35Now, Angus and Michelle, do you want to talk us through the board?
0:33:35 > 0:33:37I think the presenter of TV-am
0:33:37 > 0:33:39was Anne Diamond.
0:33:39 > 0:33:40Bottom one, I think,
0:33:40 > 0:33:41is the Hope Diamond.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43I think we're going to go for the Leonardo DiCaprio film
0:33:43 > 0:33:45because we're not certain,
0:33:45 > 0:33:47I think the other two are going to be too high a score.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49I think it was called Blood Diamonds.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51Blood Diamonds.
0:33:51 > 0:33:53OK, let's find out.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55Marina and the Diamonds was Brian and Lee's answer.
0:33:55 > 0:33:59So let's see if that's right and let's see how many people said that.
0:34:00 > 0:34:01It's right.
0:34:07 > 0:34:08- 12. - APPLAUSE
0:34:12 > 0:34:1312 for Marina and the Diamonds.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16Now then, Angus and Michelle have said Blood Diamonds.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19Let's see if that's right for the Leonardo DiCaprio film.
0:34:19 > 0:34:20Blood Diamonds.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24Ooooh... Bad luck!
0:34:24 > 0:34:26I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28Which means, Brian and Lee, very well done.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30After three questions, you're through to the final 2-1.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32Very well played. A terrific head-to-head that.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35Blood Diamond is the name of the film rather than Blood Diamonds.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37But it would have scored too many points anyway.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39It would have scored you 27 points.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44You were right about the presenter of TV-am. It's Anne Diamond.
0:34:44 > 0:34:46A huge score for Anne Diamond.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48Would have scored you 87.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51The Sade album was Diamond Life.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54Would have scored you 15.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56And it's the Cullinan Diamond.
0:34:56 > 0:34:58Would have scored 5 points.
0:34:59 > 0:35:00Thanks very much indeed.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02The pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head...
0:35:02 > 0:35:05A brilliant effort, though. Really exciting head-to-head round.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08See you again next time. We'll look forward to that.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10- Thanks, Angus and Michelle. - APPLAUSE
0:35:13 > 0:35:16But, for Brian and Lee, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:20 > 0:35:22Congratulations, Brian and Lee.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24You have fought off all the competition
0:35:24 > 0:35:26and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:34 > 0:35:36And, at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at...
0:35:37 > 0:35:41Now, as always, you get to choose your category for this final round.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44Here they are. We've got four on the board today. And they are...
0:35:51 > 0:35:54- Brian, thrilled with that. - I'm thrilled(!)- Yeah.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58I think we have to guess. I'd like to go with Sport.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01- Are you all right with Scottish sport?- Well...
0:36:01 > 0:36:03Yeah, can we go Sport and hope we fall lucky?
0:36:03 > 0:36:06You're going to go Scottish Sport. OK. Richard...
0:36:06 > 0:36:08OK, three different options here, three different sports.
0:36:08 > 0:36:10So, hopefully, one of them suits you.
0:36:10 > 0:36:14We are looking for anyone who played or was on the replacements' bench
0:36:14 > 0:36:16in Scotland's 1991 Rugby World Cup semifinal.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19That's the furthest they've ever got in the Rugby World Cup.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21So, anyone who was in that team, please.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24We are looking for any of the players or subs
0:36:24 > 0:36:28in the wonderful 1978 World Cup game against Holland.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31Or we are looking for the name of any of the men
0:36:31 > 0:36:35who Alan Wells beat in the 1980 Olympic 100 metres final.
0:36:35 > 0:36:38So, any of the 1991 Rugby World Cup semifinal team.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40Any of the 1978 team against Holland.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42Or any athlete beaten by Alan Wells.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44Very best of luck
0:36:44 > 0:36:45OK. Thanks very much.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47As always, you've got up to one minute
0:36:47 > 0:36:48to come up with three answers.
0:36:48 > 0:36:50All you need to win that jackpot
0:36:50 > 0:36:52is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:36:52 > 0:36:53Are you ready?
0:36:53 > 0:36:55- We're ready, I think.- Yeah.
0:36:55 > 0:36:57Let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:36:57 > 0:36:58There they are.
0:36:58 > 0:37:00Your time starts now.
0:37:00 > 0:37:01OK, what are you like with...?
0:37:01 > 0:37:03The rugby, I have no idea.
0:37:03 > 0:37:05I wouldn't think of any points for the rugby.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07For the football, are there any managers at the moment
0:37:07 > 0:37:10who we can think of who are Scottish?
0:37:10 > 0:37:13- Gordon Strachan. - I think that's a bit late.
0:37:13 > 0:37:16- Or maybe not.- Hmmm,...yeah.
0:37:16 > 0:37:17What about erm...
0:37:18 > 0:37:20..the athletes?
0:37:20 > 0:37:23What about Ian...Ian Porterfield?
0:37:23 > 0:37:24Never heard of him. Sounds good.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27He was the Sheffield United manager at one point.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29- Yeah. Was he Scottish? - He's Scottish.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32The athletes, let's go...
0:37:32 > 0:37:34Were Carl Lewis and Ben Johnson around at that time?
0:37:34 > 0:37:37They won in '84 and '88, didn't they?
0:37:37 > 0:37:39Maybe a young Carl Lewis might have been there.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42But people will probably guess him, wouldn't they?
0:37:42 > 0:37:43Do we know any other...
0:37:43 > 0:37:45It was really close that one, wasn't it?
0:37:45 > 0:37:48- It was a dead heat or something like that.- I can't remember.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50I remember his wife screaming at him,
0:37:50 > 0:37:52but I can't remember who he beat.
0:37:52 > 0:37:54So,...have we got three answers?
0:37:54 > 0:37:56- Er,...Carl Lewis. Ian something...- Porterfield.
0:37:56 > 0:38:01- Yeah. And what about Gavin Hastings? Or is that too...- Yeah.
0:38:01 > 0:38:02OK.. That is your time up.
0:38:02 > 0:38:04- I now need your three answers.- OK.
0:38:04 > 0:38:10So, from the FIFA World Cup team, we're going to go Ian Porterfield.
0:38:10 > 0:38:11Ian Porterfield.
0:38:12 > 0:38:17And for the athletes beaten by Alan Wells, we're going to go...
0:38:17 > 0:38:19- Carl Lewis?- Carl Lewis. - Carl Lewis.- Yeah.
0:38:20 > 0:38:26And, for the Scottish Rugby Team, we're going to go Gavin Hastings,
0:38:26 > 0:38:27Gavin Hastings.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29Now, of those three answers, which is your best shot
0:38:29 > 0:38:31at a pointless answer, do you think?
0:38:31 > 0:38:33I think Ian Porterfield is the best shot.
0:38:33 > 0:38:38OK, Ian Porterfield we'll put last. Least likely, do you think?
0:38:38 > 0:38:39Oh, Carl Lewis.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42- Because it might be incorrect. - OK, Carl Lewis we'll put first.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44And Gavin Hastings in the middle. Perfect.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47OK. Let's pop those up on the board in that order and here they are...
0:38:49 > 0:38:50We've got...
0:38:53 > 0:38:57Well, very, very best of luck. Your first answer was Carl Lewis.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00You weren't entirely sure. I mean, seems about right.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02Maybe a young Carl Lewis, you never know.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04Let's see if one of these answers is pointless
0:39:04 > 0:39:05and you win that jackpot of £1,000.
0:39:05 > 0:39:07Some good-looking answers on the board there.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09What would you do with that, Brian?
0:39:09 > 0:39:12I was hoping to give half of my proceeds to Age UK
0:39:12 > 0:39:15and, probably, half I'd keep for myself.
0:39:16 > 0:39:19So half of a half of 1,000...250 quid.
0:39:19 > 0:39:21- Maybe a nice bit of furniture or something like that.- Very nice.
0:39:21 > 0:39:22How about you, Lee?
0:39:22 > 0:39:24Well, my best friend from junior school
0:39:24 > 0:39:27has just got back in touch with me a few months ago,
0:39:27 > 0:39:30after 28 years of not seeing each other.
0:39:30 > 0:39:31He's from Israel.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34So, he's invited me out this summer to Israel
0:39:34 > 0:39:38to show me his home city of Haifa and Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41- So that would make it a fantastic trip.- Excellent.
0:39:41 > 0:39:43Oh, that would be wonderful. Well, best of luck.
0:39:43 > 0:39:44OK, Carl Lewis.
0:39:44 > 0:39:49Was Carl Lewis beaten by Alan Wells in the 100 metres in 1980?
0:39:49 > 0:39:52Let's find out. If it's pointless, you will win £1,000.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57No... Bad luck.
0:39:57 > 0:39:59You weren't sure about that one, anyway. So that's just...
0:39:59 > 0:40:02It was just filling a place there. OK. Not a pointless answer.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04Only two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06OK, now we are looking for members
0:40:06 > 0:40:11of Scotland's 1991 Rugby World Cup semifinal team.
0:40:11 > 0:40:14Gavin Hastings is who you've named. Let's find out if that's right.
0:40:14 > 0:40:18If it is, you will win £1,000. How many people said Gavin Hastings?
0:40:20 > 0:40:23Absolutely right. That's more like it.
0:40:23 > 0:40:26Carl Lewis, your first answer, was incorrect.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28But Gavin Hastings, absolutely right,
0:40:28 > 0:40:29taking you down through the '20s,
0:40:29 > 0:40:31through the teens...
0:40:31 > 0:40:32Oh, 9 for Gavin Hastings.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34- Back in single figures, boys. - APPLAUSE
0:40:36 > 0:40:40This is where you started the whole show, in single figures.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42Back there again. Well done. Gavin Hastings, a good answer.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44Sadly, not a pointless answer.
0:40:44 > 0:40:47So everything is now riding on your third and final answer,
0:40:47 > 0:40:48Ian Porterfield.
0:40:48 > 0:40:50In this case, we were looking for
0:40:50 > 0:40:55members of Scotland's 1978 World Cup team who played Holland.
0:40:55 > 0:40:57Let's find out if that's right and, if it is,
0:40:57 > 0:41:00let's see how many of our 100 people said Ian Porterfield.
0:41:03 > 0:41:04It's wrong, I'm afraid.
0:41:05 > 0:41:08Ah... It had all the markings of a good answer,
0:41:08 > 0:41:10in that Brian hadn't heard of him.
0:41:10 > 0:41:12APPLAUSE
0:41:12 > 0:41:14But, I'm afraid, an incorrect answer.
0:41:14 > 0:41:16I'm afraid you didn't find that all-important pointless answer.
0:41:16 > 0:41:18So you didn't win today's jackpot of £1,000.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20That rolls over to the next show.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22But you have played so well right across the show.
0:41:22 > 0:41:25It's been great having you here. Thanks for playing.
0:41:25 > 0:41:27But you get to take home a Pointless trophy, so there you are.
0:41:27 > 0:41:29APPLAUSE
0:41:32 > 0:41:33A valiant effort, though.
0:41:33 > 0:41:36There'll be answers you'll recognise in two of those categories.
0:41:36 > 0:41:38Probably not in the Alan Wells one.
0:41:38 > 0:41:40Of course, Carl Lewis won four golds in 1984.
0:41:40 > 0:41:43But America boycotted the 1980 Olympics.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46And it was a little bit before his time as well, to be fair.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48And Ian Porterfierld never played for Scotland.
0:41:48 > 0:41:50Let's take a look at some of the pointless answers.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52This amazing Scottish rugby team.
0:41:52 > 0:41:55David Sole, the captain, was pointless. Paul Burnell.
0:41:55 > 0:41:58Tony Stanger. David Milne was one of the replacements.
0:41:58 > 0:41:59All the replacements are pointless.
0:41:59 > 0:42:01Also pointless, Chris Grey, Derek White.
0:42:01 > 0:42:04You could have had Doddie Weir, Finlay Calder, Gary Armstrong,
0:42:04 > 0:42:07John Jeffrey, John Allan, Sean Lineen - all of those were pointless.
0:42:07 > 0:42:09So, well done if you said any of those. Fabulous team.
0:42:09 > 0:42:11Let's take a look...
0:42:12 > 0:42:14..at the Scotland team. So, there are some managers there.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17Bruce Rioch right at the top, there. Lou Macari.
0:42:17 > 0:42:20Sandy Jardine was a pointless answer. Stuart Kennedy.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23You also could have had all of the substitutes.
0:42:23 > 0:42:27You also could have had Asa Hartford, Martin Buchan, Tom Forsyth.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30Willie Donachie, as well, was a pointless answer on that one.
0:42:30 > 0:42:34Now, every single person who Alan Wells beat was a pointless answer.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36Every single person in that final was a pointless answer,
0:42:36 > 0:42:38which doesn't happen very often.
0:42:38 > 0:42:41Silvio Leonard, the Cuban. Alexander Aksinin.
0:42:41 > 0:42:44Osvaldo Lara, another Cuban.
0:42:44 > 0:42:47Petar Petrov. Also, you could have had Hermann Panzo, the Frenchman.
0:42:47 > 0:42:51You could have had Marian Woronin and Vladimir Muravyov.
0:42:51 > 0:42:53All of those were pointless. Very well done if you got one at home.
0:42:53 > 0:42:57- Tough luck in the studio. Difficult final category.- Thanks very much.
0:42:57 > 0:42:59We have to say goodbye to Brian and Lee.
0:42:59 > 0:43:02It's been brilliant having you on the show. You did so well.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04Thanks for playing. Brian and Lee, everyone...
0:43:04 > 0:43:07APPLAUSE
0:43:07 > 0:43:09Well, sadly, Brian and Lee didn't win our jackpot,
0:43:09 > 0:43:11which means it rolls over onto the next show,
0:43:11 > 0:43:14when we will be playing for £2,000.
0:43:14 > 0:43:16APPLAUSE
0:43:16 > 0:43:18Join us then and see if someone can win it.
0:43:18 > 0:43:20- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:20 > 0:43:22And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
0:43:22 > 0:43:23APPLAUSE
