0:00:18 > 0:00:20APPLAUSE
0:00:20 > 0:00:22Thank you very much, indeed. Hello.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24I'm Alexander Armstrong and a very warm welcome to Pointless,
0:00:24 > 0:00:27the game where you are always striving for the lowest score.
0:00:27 > 0:00:28Let's meet today's players.
0:00:32 > 0:00:33And couple number one.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36I'm Rich, this is my wife Abby and we're from Hertfordshire.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38- Couple number two. - I'm Brendon. I'm from Hampshire.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41This is my sister Angela and she's from Cheshire.
0:00:41 > 0:00:42Couple number three.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44I'm Arwel and this is my good friend Steve
0:00:44 > 0:00:47and we both live in Southfields in southwest London.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50- And, finally, couple number four. - I'm Nic. I'm from Ruislip.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52And this is my friend Kit from Hampshire.
0:00:52 > 0:00:53And these are today's contestants.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55APPLAUSE
0:00:55 > 0:00:57Thanks very much, all of you.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00We'll find out more about each of you throughout the show, as it goes along.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02So that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06He's Stephen Hawking's phone-a-friend, but he's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:06 > 0:01:07Hiya. Hiya.
0:01:09 > 0:01:14- Hello there.- Hello there.- What a run of shows we've had.- I know.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Recently this happened and it's happened again -
0:01:16 > 0:01:18three times in a row we've given away the jackpot.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21Never given it away four times in a row before in history,
0:01:21 > 0:01:24so we could make Pointless history today if one of you can manage it.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Our returning pairs had very different shows last time.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30Angela and Brendon very, very unlucky to be knocked out in our film round.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32Brendon gave us a great answer
0:01:32 > 0:01:34that was just outside of what it needed to be.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36But a very valiant wrong answer.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39Whereas Kit and Nic had one of the more ironic exits we've ever had
0:01:39 > 0:01:43because Nic lost in a round of Famous Nicks, which was, you know,
0:01:43 > 0:01:46if you're going to go out on something, why not go out on that?
0:01:46 > 0:01:50So it should be a cracker today. But if we can win the jackpot today, that'll be four in a row.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52- Never been done before. - Thanks very much, Richard.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55All our questions on Pointless have been put to 100 people before the show.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59Our contestants have to find the obscure answers those 100 people didn't get.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Of course, everyone's trying to find a pointless answer,
0:02:01 > 0:02:04that being an answer that none of our 100 people gave
0:02:04 > 0:02:07and each time that happens we will add 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Now, Ross and Laurie won the jackpot last time,
0:02:09 > 0:02:13so today's jackpot starts off at £1,000.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Right. If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22So, basically, all you need to remember
0:02:22 > 0:02:24is that the pair with the highest score at the end of each round
0:02:24 > 0:02:26will be eliminated,
0:02:26 > 0:02:29so do everything you can to make sure that's not you.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Our first category today is...
0:02:33 > 0:02:36Television. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:02:36 > 0:02:40who's going to go second, and whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45OK, and the question concerns...
0:02:49 > 0:02:51Children's TV Shows, Richard.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Yeah, something for everyone on this round, I hope.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58On each pass we're going to show you descriptions of seven famous children's television shows.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00You just need to tell us the name of the show.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03There's going to be 14 children's television shows in all to get at home. Good luck.
0:03:03 > 0:03:04Thanks very much, indeed.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07So we're looking for the children's TV show described by each of these
0:03:07 > 0:03:09clues and here's our first board of seven.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11We've got:
0:03:41 > 0:03:42I'll read those all one last time.
0:04:09 > 0:04:13- Abby, welcome to Pointless.- Thank you.- Now, what do you do, Abby?
0:04:13 > 0:04:16I work in book publishing as a marketing manager.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20- What sort of books particularly? Do you specialise?- Educational books.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22So mainly English language teaching products
0:04:22 > 0:04:24to help foreigners, basically, learn English.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27What are your interests, outside of publishing?
0:04:27 > 0:04:30I love travelling, so I've been to Mauritius and New Zealand
0:04:30 > 0:04:32and America.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35So I'd like to kind of, obviously, if I win the jackpot,
0:04:35 > 0:04:38I'd like to travel a bit more and see a bit more of America.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42- OK. I like the way you say 'I' not 'we'.- No, just me on my own.- OK.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Now, Abby, what are you going to go for on this board?
0:04:45 > 0:04:46- How many of those do you think you know?- Yeah.
0:04:46 > 0:04:51It's tricky for me and my heart sank when I saw Children's TV Shows
0:04:51 > 0:04:53because I'm not great at that category.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56But I'm going to go with an obvious one because I know it's correct
0:04:56 > 0:04:59and go with Byker Grove for the Newcastle youth club.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01OK, Byker Grove says Abby.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Let's see if it's right and let's see how many people said it.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07It is right.
0:05:08 > 0:05:1063 for Byker Grove.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12APPLAUSE
0:05:14 > 0:05:18Yeah, it closed its doors for the last time in 2006, Byker Grove.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Thanks very much, indeed.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23Angela, welcome back. So remind us what you do, Angela.
0:05:23 > 0:05:29Um, well, obviously I like reading, I like sport, particularly tennis.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32I used to do a lot of baking. I don't do that so much any more.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34But I still do make a lot of preserves.
0:05:34 > 0:05:35OK.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39Which if you don't mind a preserve in a sticky jar, you can have one.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Be quite hard to have a preserve in a non-sticky jar.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45Yeah, but sticky on the outside, I mean. My jars are always sticky.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49OK, well, there we are. Angela, there is your board. Help yourself.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Right. I'm... It's not great
0:05:52 > 0:05:54but I think I've got to go back to the one
0:05:54 > 0:05:57that I think my children watched
0:05:57 > 0:05:59and I think it's the one with Chris Tarrant.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03- And I think that was Tiswas. But I could be wrong.- Tiswas says...
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Let's see. How many of our 100 people said Tiswas?
0:06:09 > 0:06:13It's right, of course. Well, 63 is our only score. You've passed that.
0:06:13 > 0:06:1448 for Tiswas.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17APPLAUSE
0:06:19 > 0:06:22Yeah, Tiswas for This is Saturday, Watch and Smile.
0:06:22 > 0:06:27Yes. Thanks very much, Richard. Now, Arwel. What do you do, Arwel?
0:06:27 > 0:06:29I'm retired now. I used to be a town planner.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31I thought you were going to say town crier!
0:06:31 > 0:06:32THEY LAUGH
0:06:32 > 0:06:35- Um, a town planner.- Yeah. - Was that fun?
0:06:35 > 0:06:37It was hilarious for a while, yeah.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39I bet it was hilarious. A bit of a headache.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41I mean, a lot of things you have to sort out as a town planner.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43- Especially the enforcement work. - Yeah.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46What do you do now, without town planning to occupy you?
0:06:46 > 0:06:48I'm living a life of blissful relaxation,
0:06:48 > 0:06:49playing music, playing snooker.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Lovely.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Arwel, what are you going to go for?
0:06:53 > 0:06:56The only one I knew was Tiswas.
0:06:56 > 0:07:01Um, I'm going to have a crack at number two and say Movie Magic.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Movie Magic.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Well, let's see if that's right
0:07:05 > 0:07:07and if it is let's see how many of our 100 people said Movie Magic.
0:07:11 > 0:07:12Oh, I'm sorry, Arwel.
0:07:12 > 0:07:13That is an incorrect answer
0:07:13 > 0:07:16so that scores you the maximum of 100 points.
0:07:16 > 0:07:17Sorry, Arwel.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20I'll give you the correct answer at the end of the pass.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23- That's a shame.- That is, yeah. - Ah, well.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25LAUGHTER
0:07:27 > 0:07:31Nic, welcome back. Now, yes, remind us what you do.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33- I'm a science teacher. - Indeed you are.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Which do you prefer, because obviously you specialise in biology
0:07:36 > 0:07:39for the older kids but you teach sort of more general science.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Yeah, I love teaching chemistry, actually,
0:07:41 > 0:07:42because you get to blow up stuff.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45I was going to say, surely that's the best answer, yeah.
0:07:45 > 0:07:46- Yeah, lots of fire.- Yeah.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49Setting fire to kids' hands with methane bubbles.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51- It's brilliant. - That's just brilliant.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Um, yes. Now, Nic, this board is all yours.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56Do you fancy talking us through it?
0:07:56 > 0:08:01Um, I think possibly the last one may be Peppa Pig
0:08:01 > 0:08:04but I'm going to go for the first one because I can remember watching
0:08:04 > 0:08:08it when I was younger and I think it's called Fun House.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11- Fun House says Nic.- Yeah. - Let's see if Fun House is right.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Let's see how many people said it.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19It is indeed right. Well, 100 is our high score. You've passed that.
0:08:19 > 0:08:2248 is our low. You passed that a long time ago. 23.
0:08:22 > 0:08:23Very well done, indeed.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25APPLAUSE
0:08:25 > 0:08:26Good work, Nic.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31Well played, Nic. Yeah, an iconic, very messy game show, Fun House.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33They've had it all over the world.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36A ten-year-old Luis Suarez was once on the Uruguayan version of it.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39- I'd love to see that. - I'd love to see that as well.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Didn't even get sent off. It's unbelievable.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Uh, you were actually right about the bottom one.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47It would have been an even better score, Nic, because it is Peppa Pig.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49It would have scored you 9 points.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Now, the quiz show, it's not Movie Magic...
0:08:51 > 0:08:53- Screen Test. - Screen Test, yeah.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57A lot of people of a certain age would have aced that. 3 points.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00And the Melvyn Hayes series was Here Come The Double Deckers.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03- Yes, I do remember that. - 11 points for that.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07- And, of course, the comedy series... - Rentaghost.- Rentaghost, yeah.
0:09:07 > 0:09:0834 points for that.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11So Screen Test actually the best answer on the board.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15Thanks very much, indeed, Richard. We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at those scores.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18- 23, Nic, well done. This is more like it, you see.- Yay!
0:09:18 > 0:09:21That feels good on the last podium there.
0:09:21 > 0:09:22Yes, looking very strong, indeed.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26Then we go up to 48 with Angela and Brendon. Then 63, Abby and Rich.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28And then Arwel and Steve,
0:09:28 > 0:09:30you're on 100 there.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Now, Steve, anything could happen on the next board.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34If we had a lovely low score from you
0:09:34 > 0:09:36maybe it will keep you in the game till Round Two.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Best of luck. We're going to come back down the line now.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:09:44 > 0:09:47OK, let's put seven more kids TV shows up on the board.
0:09:47 > 0:09:48And here they are.
0:10:22 > 0:10:23I'll read those all one last time.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53- There we go. Now, Kit, welcome back. - Thanks, Xander.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57Now, we hardly, we hardly got to know you in the last show.
0:10:57 > 0:10:58It was Round One and then...
0:10:58 > 0:11:00HE BLOWS
0:11:00 > 0:11:03- Blink of an eye. - It was, almost. It was, almost.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06We chatted a bit about your career change from science teacher
0:11:06 > 0:11:10and then your move across to the drama department
0:11:10 > 0:11:12where you are presumably king of all you survey.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Uh...yes.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Yeah, well, that's good, that's good.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20- Tell us what you like to get up to. - Um, well, I do quite like cycling.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23I've got several bikes and me and the lads will all go cycling.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26- Oh, that's serious cycling. "Several bikes".- We do a bit, yeah.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29So if someone asks you to go on a bike ride, you'll ask what
0:11:29 > 0:11:32- kind of terrain they're going on, what sort of length?- Which bike?
0:11:32 > 0:11:34- Spare bike, road bike, mountain bike?- Spare bike?
0:11:34 > 0:11:37You wouldn't take a spare bike as a first choice, surely? That would be madness.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40Yeah, you'd tow it behind your main bike. I would go on motorbike.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42LAUGHTER
0:11:42 > 0:11:46Yeah. That's definitely the one I'd go on. Yeah, good. OK, Kit.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48There you are. You're on 23. The high score is on 100.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50It's Steve and Arwel.
0:11:50 > 0:11:5376 or less gets you through to the next round.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55OK, um, I do know a few of these
0:11:55 > 0:11:57because I own a television and children,
0:11:57 > 0:12:00so I think there's a few I know.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02I'm going to go with, um...
0:12:03 > 0:12:06..uh, Bagpuss as
0:12:06 > 0:12:09Professor Yaffle, Gabriel, Madeleine and the mice all waking up.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13The wonderful Bagpuss. Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17There's your red line. Get below that with Bagpuss, you're through to the next round.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22It is right and you are through.
0:12:24 > 0:12:25APPLAUSE
0:12:25 > 0:12:2735.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33- 58 is your total.- Well done, Kit. They only made 13 episodes of that.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36Bagpuss was supposed to be ginger but turned out pink
0:12:36 > 0:12:38because the manufacturer sent the wrong cloth.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42And they offered to replace it and Pete Firmin, who made it, said, "No, I quite like it."
0:12:42 > 0:12:43I love it. Yeah, it's good.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46Thanks very much, indeed, Richard. Now, then, Steve.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49Steve, welcome to the show. What do you do, Steve?
0:12:49 > 0:12:52- I'm a consultant for the music business.- Now, that's fun.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Which branch of the music business?
0:12:54 > 0:12:58Well, currently I'm working with some new artists,
0:12:58 > 0:13:00helping to launch them.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03So what's the biggest band you've had a hand in?
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Ooh, uh. Oh, um...
0:13:05 > 0:13:08..Pink Floyd, I suppose. Kate Bush.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10I knew he was going to say something like that.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12He was very modest, understated...
0:13:12 > 0:13:15A band you might have heard of, probably not - Pink Floyd.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18They were originally supposed to be called Ginger Floyd weren't they, and...
0:13:18 > 0:13:21They got the cloth wrong, yeah.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Now, Steve, you're the high scorers at this point, on 100,
0:13:25 > 0:13:27so we need a low score. How do you find this board?
0:13:27 > 0:13:30Uh, I've got a few,
0:13:30 > 0:13:35so it's a question of really trying to find one which is a lower score
0:13:35 > 0:13:41and so I'm taking a bit of a chance but I'll go for the top one
0:13:41 > 0:13:44and say Sabrina the Teenage Witch.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47"Sabrina the Teenage Witch," said Steve.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49No red line for you, as you're the high scorers.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51Let's see if he's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:13:54 > 0:13:55It is right.
0:13:59 > 0:14:0120.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06120, Steve. Well done.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Well played, Steve. It's a very good answer.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11Yes, she had two 500-year-old aunts in that show.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14Well, Melissa Joan Hart opened a sweet shop in California
0:14:14 > 0:14:16called Sweetharts.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Thanks very much, indeed, Richard. Brendon. Brendon.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22Welcome back to the show. Tell us about yourself again.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24I'm a management consultant.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27- I do specifically what they call corporate health checks.- OK.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30What else do you do when you're not doing that?
0:14:30 > 0:14:34Pleasure time, I like pool, snooker, tennis if the weather's good enough.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38Brendon, the board is there. What are you going to go with?
0:14:38 > 0:14:41Hmm, the only one I really knew was the top one. Um...
0:14:41 > 0:14:43HE SIGHS
0:14:43 > 0:14:44I don't know, really, any of them
0:14:44 > 0:14:48but I'm going to say that the puppet show first screened in 1950
0:14:48 > 0:14:51featuring Teddy and Looby Loo was Sooty.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55OK, Sooty says Brendon. Let's see if that's right.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57Let's see how many people said it. There's your red line.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00If you get below that red line, you are through to the next round.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02But let's see if it's right.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08No, I'm afraid an incorrect answer, Brendon.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11Sores you the maximum of 100 points, takes your total up to 148.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15- You could still be in with a chance, though.- Yeah. Sorry, Brendon.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Last time you were terrifically unlucky. This time, yeah...
0:15:17 > 0:15:18HE lAUGHS
0:15:18 > 0:15:20..not so much.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24Thanks very much, indeed, Richard. Now, Rich, welcome to Pointless.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27- Thank you.- We have a game here.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29- We do.- We have a game.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32- What do you do, Rich?- I work for a cricket charity.- That's fun.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34What particularly do you do?
0:15:34 > 0:15:35I oversee our inner-city project,
0:15:35 > 0:15:38so we work in sort of socially deprived areas
0:15:38 > 0:15:42getting kids into cricket, off the streets and sort of educating them.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46Good job to do. Rich, what do you do in your spare time? Cricket must be an interest of yours.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Yeah, I love sport generally, so I like going to watch football,
0:15:48 > 0:15:50I like going to watch cricket in the summer.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54Excellent. OK, now, what you have to do is score less than 84.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57That is all you have to do. That board is all yours. Dive in.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01A couple have gone I knew.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03The locomotive one, the only thing that springs to mind there
0:16:03 > 0:16:07would be Thomas the Tank Engine but I don't remember anything about Wales in that
0:16:07 > 0:16:09from when I last watched it about 20 years ago.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11Puppet show, again, not sure.
0:16:11 > 0:16:16The next one I think might be The Clangers, maybe, but I'm not sure.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18The one that I think I know, that I'm going to go with,
0:16:18 > 0:16:21is the sitcom written by Tony Robinson.
0:16:21 > 0:16:22Maid Marion and her Merry Men.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25Maid Marion and her Merry Men, says Rich.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28Let's find out if that's right and if it is, let's see how
0:16:28 > 0:16:30many of our 100 people said Maid Marion and her Merry Men.
0:16:30 > 0:16:31There's your red line.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34Get below that and you are through to the next round.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40It's right...and you are through. Very well done, indeed, Rich.
0:16:43 > 0:16:448.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48APPLAUSE
0:16:48 > 0:16:508 takes your total up to 71, sees you through.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54Yeah, very good answer there. Let's fill in the rest of this board.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56The animated series, not Thomas the Tank Engine.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58- It is of course... - Ivor the Engine.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01Yeah. Would have scored 27.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04- The puppet show was...Andy Pandy. - Andy Pandy.- Yep.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08Would have scored 43. You were absolutely right about The Clangers.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13Would have scored you 48. Do you know that bottom one? That's a tough one.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17It's the best answer on the board. It's Box Of Delights.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19- We've got that on DVD.- 5 points.
0:17:19 > 0:17:20Very well done, if you said that.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22Thank you very much, indeed.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25So at the end of our first round, the pair who are heading home with
0:17:25 > 0:17:30our high score of 148, I'm sorry Brendon and Angela, it is you.
0:17:30 > 0:17:35I'm so sorry we have to say goodbye to you so soon, Brendon and Angela, but thanks very much for playing.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37APPLAUSE
0:17:38 > 0:17:41But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48OK, now, three pairs remain.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51Obviously at the end of this round we'll have to say goodbye to another
0:17:51 > 0:17:53pair. Anyway, best of luck to all three pairs.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55Our category for Round Two today is...
0:17:57 > 0:18:00Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08OK and the question concerns:
0:18:11 > 0:18:13American Sportsmen, Richard.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16In a moment, Xander's going to show you four sporting achievements.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19We're looking for the name of any American man who has achieved
0:18:19 > 0:18:21any of these things post-war, please.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23So post-war up to March 2014,
0:18:23 > 0:18:27any American man who has achieved any of the following four things.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30OK, so we're going to put four winning categories up on the board
0:18:30 > 0:18:34and remember, they're going to stay up on the board the whole way through the round.
0:18:34 > 0:18:35You just have to name any American man
0:18:35 > 0:18:38who has won one of these four categories.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40Let's see what those are.
0:18:52 > 0:18:53I'll read those all again.
0:19:02 > 0:19:03Abby.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06I think I'll go with Gentlemen Singles at Wimbledon
0:19:06 > 0:19:07and go with Andre Agassi.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09Andre Agassi, says Abby.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:19:14 > 0:19:15It's right.
0:19:21 > 0:19:2212.
0:19:22 > 0:19:23APPLAUSE
0:19:23 > 0:19:27Not bad. Good start to the round, I say, Abby. 12 for Andre Agassi.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31Yeah, he only won it once in 1992, beat Ivanisevic.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33Thanks very much, Rich. Arwel.
0:19:35 > 0:19:39I'll go for the swimming one, I think, and I'll try Mark Spitz.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Mark Spitz says Arwel. Let's see if that's right.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44And if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Mark Spitz.
0:19:50 > 0:19:54Well, 12 is our only score so far. Mark Spitz passes 12 down to 8.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Very well done, Arwel.
0:20:00 > 0:20:01Yeah, he won seven golds
0:20:01 > 0:20:05and set seven world records at the 1972 Olympics, Mark Spitz.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08Thanks very much, indeed. Now, Nic.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11I'm hoping that Lleyton Hewitt has won
0:20:11 > 0:20:13the Gentleman's Single at Wimbledon.
0:20:13 > 0:20:18- Lleyton Hewitt you're saying. - Oh, no! No, he's Australian.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20Oh, no! What have I done?
0:20:22 > 0:20:27Let's, for fun, ask the column is it a right answer?
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Oh, I'm sorry, Nic.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36As soon as I said it. I'm really sorry.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38You had a little bit too much time to think there.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41That's scored you the maximum of 100 points.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43Yep, you knew what you did.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46He's Australian, I'm afraid, Lleyton Hewitt.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49But, you know, people make mistakes, as I'm sure you tell your pupils
0:20:49 > 0:20:52every day when they've accidentally forgotten to do their homework.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54They are always forgiven.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57I'm sure you always say to them, "We all make mistakes.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00"Very easy in the heat of the moment to do something wrong.
0:21:00 > 0:21:01"To have not done your homework,
0:21:01 > 0:21:04"to have messed up an experiment, to have set fire to the lab.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06"Very, very easy to do."
0:21:06 > 0:21:08They always say, "Read it twice," don't they?
0:21:08 > 0:21:09"Read the question twice."
0:21:09 > 0:21:11In the exam that's exactly what you do.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13All you've got to do is just make sure you know...
0:21:13 > 0:21:16You've got plenty of time, just make sure you know exactly what they're
0:21:16 > 0:21:18asking you and you cannot go wrong, kids. That's the thing.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21That's the beauty of it. And that's what all good teachers will tell you.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at the scores.
0:21:24 > 0:21:268, Arwel, the very best score of that round.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28Not just the best, the VERY best.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30Then up to 12 where we find Abby and Rich.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33Up to 100, I'm sorry, Nic and Kit. I'm sorry.
0:21:33 > 0:21:38Kit, at the very least, we're going to need a low score from you.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40We're going to come back down the line now.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:21:45 > 0:21:49OK. Now, Kit, so we want the name of any American man who's
0:21:49 > 0:21:51won in any of these categories.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53OK. I was going to play it safe but now I really can't,
0:21:53 > 0:21:55so I'm just going to throw caution to the wind
0:21:55 > 0:21:57and say something which I've got a name in my head
0:21:57 > 0:22:01I think he could have been a swimmer, could have been American - Matt Biondi.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03Matt Biondi says Kit.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06Let's find out if that's right and it if is, let's see how many people said it.
0:22:06 > 0:22:10No red line for you, as you're the high scorers, but let's see if Matt Biondi's right.
0:22:13 > 0:22:14It is right.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20Still going down, Kit. Still going down. Look at that!
0:22:20 > 0:22:22It's a pointless answer!
0:22:22 > 0:22:24That is fantastic, Kit!
0:22:24 > 0:22:29It scores you nothing, it adds £250 to today's jackpot -
0:22:29 > 0:22:31takes that up to £1,250.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33It leaves your total at 100.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35That was the very first thing you had to do, Kit,
0:22:35 > 0:22:37was score as low as you could.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39That's a terrific answer, Kit. Yeah, very well played.
0:22:39 > 0:22:44- Won the gold in 1988 in the 100m freestyle.- Thanks very much, indeed.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47Well, Steve.
0:22:47 > 0:22:51Steve, how are we feeling about this?
0:22:51 > 0:22:54I think I've got a right answer.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57Whether it's the best answer, we'll see.
0:22:57 > 0:23:02I think I'll go for the Open Golf Championship and say Tiger Woods.
0:23:02 > 0:23:07Tiger Woods, says Steve. Here's your red line. Nice and high.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Get below that with Tiger Woods, your in the head-to-head.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12Let's see how many of our 100 said Tiger Woods.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16It's right and you're through.
0:23:19 > 0:23:2134.
0:23:23 > 0:23:2642 is your total.
0:23:26 > 0:23:30Yeah, he won the Open in 2000, 2005 and 2006.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Thanks very much, indeed, Richard. Now, Rich.
0:23:33 > 0:23:38Again, this is the contest right here.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41You have to score 87 or less.
0:23:41 > 0:23:45I think I'm going to go for Open Golf Championship
0:23:45 > 0:23:47and I'm going to say Ben Curtis.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50Ben Curtis, says Rich. There is your red line.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Get below that with Ben Curtis, you're in the head-to-head.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55How many of our 100 people said Ben Curtis?
0:23:58 > 0:24:00It's right and you're through. Well done.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Still going down.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08It's another pointless answer! Very well done, indeed, Rich!
0:24:08 > 0:24:12That adds another £250 to today's jackpot.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14It takes the total up to £1,500.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18It scores you nothing and it leaves your total at a perfect low 12.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20Very well done, indeed, Rich and Abby.
0:24:20 > 0:24:21Yeah, a very good answer.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24I suspect a lot of golf fans would have gone for Ben Curtis as well.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27Extraordinary story. In 2003 he won the Open at Royal St George's.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31Turned up an absolute no-hoper. Absolute. No-one knew who he was.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34I think a golf writer said, "It's not just the greatest upset
0:24:34 > 0:24:38"in the history of golf, greatest upset in the history of all sports," he said.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41Then the next year a guy called Todd Hamilton came along and did exactly the same thing.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44He was also a pointless answer, Todd Hamilton, unsurprisingly.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48But a terrific answer. Let's take a look at some other pointless answers in the different sports.
0:24:49 > 0:24:53Bobby 'Joe' Morrow, the sprinter, would have been a very good answer.
0:24:53 > 0:24:54Two Wimbledon winners here.
0:24:54 > 0:24:58Budge Patty - mmm, Budge Patty - and Dick Savitt.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Uh, next page. Justin Leonard, another golfer
0:25:01 > 0:25:03would have been a pointless answer.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05There's Matt Biondi. Great answer. Rowdy Gaines as well.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Well done if you said him.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09A few more golfers to come.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11Stewart Cink was a pointless answer, as was Tom Lehman.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13You also could have had Mark Calcavecchia.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16Todd Hamilton would've been a pointless answer as well.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18And Tony Trabert as well, who won Wimbledon.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Very well done if you said any of those.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22Thanks very much, indeed, Richard.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25So at the end of our second round, the pair heading home with our high score of 100...
0:25:25 > 0:25:28Oh, I'm sorry. What a score of extremes that was.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31Thanks very much for playing. It's been lovely having you here.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34I'm sorry we have to say goodbye to you, but brilliant contestants.
0:25:34 > 0:25:35- Well done.- Thank you.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37APPLAUSE
0:25:37 > 0:25:40Right. For the remaining two pairs, it's now time for the head-to-head.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48Congratulations Rich and Abby, Arwel and Steve.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50You are now one step closer to the final
0:25:50 > 0:25:52and a chance to play for our jackpot,
0:25:52 > 0:25:56which currently stands at the much enhanced £1,500.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58Now, this is the point where we have to decide
0:25:58 > 0:25:59who gets to play for that money
0:25:59 > 0:26:01and we do that by making you go head-to-head.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04Of course, the difference is, you're now allowed to confer.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06You can have a chat before you give your answers.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09And the first pair to win two questions will be playing for that
0:26:09 > 0:26:11jackpot. I suspect this is going to be quite a tight contest.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:26:19 > 0:26:24OK, here is your first question and it concerns...windows.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Windows. Richard.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30We're going to show you pictures of five different types of window now.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32We've also given you the first letter of what that window is.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35Can you give us the most obscure window, please?
0:26:35 > 0:26:39Thanks very much, indeed, Richard. Let's reveal our five windows.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41And here they are. We have got...
0:26:42 > 0:26:44A, begins with P.
0:26:47 > 0:26:48B begins with D.
0:26:51 > 0:26:52C, begins with L.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57D, begins with S.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01And E, begins with F.
0:27:03 > 0:27:07Now, Rich and Abby, you've been the low scorers throughout the show so far so you will go first.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15RICH: Ah, we're between two
0:27:15 > 0:27:20and we're going to go A, porthole.
0:27:20 > 0:27:25Porthole. Porthole say Rich and Abby. Now, Arwel and Steve.
0:27:25 > 0:27:29Do you want to talk us through all the others? You can do all your thinking out loud now.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31- ARWEL:- D is a dormer window, I think.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35We're not sure on answer C, the one beginning with L.
0:27:35 > 0:27:39- STEVE:- D is a sash window. - D is a sash window.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42And we're going to go for E, which is fanlight.
0:27:42 > 0:27:46Fanlight say Arwel and Steve. So we have porthole versus fanlight.
0:27:46 > 0:27:50Rich and Abby said porthole. Let's see how many people said that.
0:27:52 > 0:27:53It's right.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55Ooh, that's a high score.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58A high score for porthole, which means Arwel and Steve,
0:27:58 > 0:28:01fanlight only has to go below that for you to win this point.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03Let's see how many people said fanlight.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07It's right and it wins it. Well done.
0:28:11 > 0:28:1412. Very well done, indeed. 12 for fanlight.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17APPLAUSE
0:28:17 > 0:28:19Good answering there on the blue podium.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22That means, Arwel and Steve, after one question you're up 1-nil.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25That's a great answer. I always like it when it adds up to 100 as well.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27It's quite nice, isn't it?
0:28:27 > 0:28:30It doesn't happen very often, so it amuses me.
0:28:30 > 0:28:31B, you're right, is dormer.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35That would have scored you 51.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38You also knew D, which, as you say, is sash.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41Another quite big scorer, though. It would have scored you 64.
0:28:41 > 0:28:45Now C, you get them in churches, obviously...
0:28:45 > 0:28:46- It's a lancet. - It is a lancet window.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49- And it's a pointless answer, as well. So well done.- OK, thanks very much.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51Well, here we go. Here comes question two.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54Rich and Abby, you have to win this one to stay in the game, so best of luck.
0:28:54 > 0:28:58It concerns...roast dinners.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00CHUCKLING
0:29:00 > 0:29:03Oh, a roast. I'm starving. Roast dinners.
0:29:03 > 0:29:07We're going to show you five items traditionally eaten in a roast dinner
0:29:07 > 0:29:08now but they're in anagram form.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11Can you unscramble them, please?
0:29:11 > 0:29:15OK. Let's show you the anagram forms of these roast dinner items.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17And here they are.
0:29:23 > 0:29:24I'll read those all one last time.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34Now, Arwel and Steve, you will go first this time.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37- ARWEL:- Should we go for turnips?
0:29:37 > 0:29:41THEY WHISPER
0:29:43 > 0:29:48OK, so we will go for number two, which is roast potatoes.
0:29:48 > 0:29:53Roast potatoes, the second one down. Roast potatoes say Arwel and Steve.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55So, Rich and Abby, talk us through the board.
0:29:55 > 0:30:00- RICH:- It's the bottom two that we're struggling with. Um...
0:30:00 > 0:30:02I think there's something fried on there.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05So we've got parsnips or Yorkshire pudding.
0:30:05 > 0:30:06- ABBY:- Yep. - Yorkshire pudding?
0:30:06 > 0:30:09- Yeah, let's go with that.- OK, we're going to go with the top one.
0:30:09 > 0:30:13- We're going to go Yorkshire pudding. - Yorkshire pudding. We have roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15Now, Arwel and Steve went with roast potatoes.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18Let's see if that's right and let's see how many people said it.
0:30:20 > 0:30:21It's right.
0:30:23 > 0:30:2563 for roast potatoes.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28APPLAUSE
0:30:28 > 0:30:31Now, Rich and Abby, meanwhile, have gone for Yorkshire pudding.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said that.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38It's right.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40And it wins it for you. Well done.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42That's what you needed there, Rich and Abby.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44APPLAUSE
0:30:44 > 0:30:47You're back. After two questions, it's one all.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49Good stuff there.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52The bottom two were the best answers, the low scorers.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54Cos raps spins is parsnips.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58A big scorer. Would have scored you 57.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01Now, same tunic. Any idea with that?
0:31:01 > 0:31:03- No. Meats... - You'd have it with lamb.
0:31:03 > 0:31:05Oh, mint sauce.
0:31:05 > 0:31:08Mint sauce, yeah. That would have scored you 7.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11And the bottom one, once you work out the word...
0:31:11 > 0:31:14The word fried is in it but that's a red herring, really.
0:31:14 > 0:31:18The word beef is also in it and it is beef dripping.
0:31:19 > 0:31:216 points. Well done if you said that.
0:31:22 > 0:31:26Do you have beef dripping with a roast dinner?
0:31:26 > 0:31:28I mean, you have beef dripping as a by-product.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30SHE LAUGHS
0:31:30 > 0:31:32I wouldn't have said I go, "Mmm! All the trimmings!
0:31:32 > 0:31:37"Put back the potatoes. I'm going to have more beef dripping...on my beef. Mmm!"
0:31:37 > 0:31:41"Mmm. Tuck in. Yum. Oh, just a spoon for me. Ooh, it's hot!"
0:31:42 > 0:31:44I'll tell you what, for the next show,
0:31:44 > 0:31:47why don't you work out a series of anagrams for things?
0:31:47 > 0:31:49LAUGHTER
0:31:49 > 0:31:52- OK.- OK?- Yeah, yeah.- OK. Good. I look forward to those.
0:31:52 > 0:31:54LAUGHTER
0:31:54 > 0:31:57That'll be really good, won't it? "It's a tennis player."
0:31:57 > 0:32:00"Let's have a look at the anagrams. Mohn JcEnroe is the first one."
0:32:00 > 0:32:02LAUGHTER
0:32:02 > 0:32:06"Mandy Urray. Mandy Urray is our... Who could that be?
0:32:06 > 0:32:08"Who could it be?"
0:32:08 > 0:32:10It's not the quality... The anagrams are wonderful.
0:32:10 > 0:32:14It's beef dripping's inclusion as something in a roast dinner.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16I think that's a fair comment to make.
0:32:16 > 0:32:17"And Stiffe Graf."
0:32:17 > 0:32:18LAUGHTER
0:32:18 > 0:32:21That's a good name.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23I was at school with her.
0:32:23 > 0:32:26Thanks very much, indeed, Richard. Here comes your third question.
0:32:26 > 0:32:29Whoever wins this goes through to the final and plays for that jackpot.
0:32:29 > 0:32:31Best of luck to both pairs.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34OK, it concerns...
0:32:38 > 0:32:41- GCSE science, Richard.- Oh, I wish Kit and Nic were still here.
0:32:41 > 0:32:43This will be fun.
0:32:43 > 0:32:44I'm going to give you five clues now
0:32:44 > 0:32:47that are topics on the GCSE science curriculum.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49Can you give us the best answer to one of these, please?
0:32:49 > 0:32:51Best of luck to both teams.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54Thanks, Richard. Let's reveal our five clues. And here they come.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56We have got...
0:33:13 > 0:33:15I'll read those all one last time.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33Now, Rich and Abby, you will go first this time.
0:33:33 > 0:33:35THEY WHISPER
0:33:42 > 0:33:44- ABBY:- I think we're going to go the third answer,
0:33:44 > 0:33:45'cause we're not entirely sure.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47There's a couple that we're a little bit edgy about.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50So we're going to go with sedimentary
0:33:50 > 0:33:52for a major group of rock types.
0:33:52 > 0:33:57Sedimentary say Rich and Abby. Now, Arwel and Steve.
0:33:57 > 0:34:01What are you going to go for? The board's all yours. Talk us through it.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03- ARWEL:- Well, our answer's just gone, so...
0:34:03 > 0:34:06- STEVE:- I think the first one might be pituitary.
0:34:08 > 0:34:12And the last one is alternating current.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15We're so not sure on the first one, so we'll go for the last one,
0:34:15 > 0:34:16alternating current.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18Alternating current say Arwel and Steve.
0:34:18 > 0:34:22OK, so we have sedimentary versus alternating current. Let's see.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25Sedimentary said Rich and Abby. How many people said that?
0:34:27 > 0:34:28It's good.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33That's a nice low score.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35Look at that, 17. Very well done, indeed.
0:34:35 > 0:34:3717 for Rich and Abby.
0:34:39 > 0:34:42Arwel and Steve, that's what you have to beat with alternating current.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44Let's see if you can do it.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48It's right.
0:34:48 > 0:34:49It has to go all the way down to...
0:34:49 > 0:34:51Oh! 57!
0:34:51 > 0:34:54APPLAUSE
0:34:54 > 0:34:57Which means, Rich and Abby, very well done, after three questions,
0:34:57 > 0:34:58you're through to the final, 2-1.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01Yeah. Amazingly, sedimentary is the best answer on the board.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04Nothing you could have done, unfortunately. It even beats DNA.
0:35:04 > 0:35:08The large gland, you were thinking of maybe going for the pituitary,
0:35:08 > 0:35:10it was the pancreas, I'm afraid.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13It would have scored you 54 points.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16It is deoxyribonucleic acid
0:35:16 > 0:35:18and 18 of our 100 knew that,
0:35:18 > 0:35:20so that's pretty good going.
0:35:20 > 0:35:22And the main layer of the earth
0:35:22 > 0:35:25between the crust and the outer core is the mantle.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27And that would have scored you 28.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29Thanks very much, indeed, Richard.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31So the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round
0:35:31 > 0:35:33are Arwel and Steve.
0:35:33 > 0:35:36Well, perfectly good answers in that round
0:35:36 > 0:35:38and you got an early lead there.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41Anyway, the good news is, we get to see you again. Thank goodness for that.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44It's been lovely having you and we get the pleasure of that next time.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46Thanks very much for playing, Arwel and Steve.
0:35:46 > 0:35:47Thank you.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51But for Rich and Abby, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57Congratulations, Rich and Abby.
0:35:57 > 0:35:58You've seen off all the competition
0:35:58 > 0:36:00and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:36:09 > 0:36:13And at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £1,500.
0:36:13 > 0:36:18One and only appearance on Pointless. For one day only.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20You've come through low scorers every single round.
0:36:20 > 0:36:21You've had great scores.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24One of our two pointless answers on the show, Rich. Very well done.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26OK, well, as always, you get to choose your category.
0:36:26 > 0:36:30There are four options for you to choose from. Let's see what they are.
0:36:38 > 0:36:41How do you feel about action directors?
0:36:41 > 0:36:44- Not my strongest suit when it comes to film.- No?
0:36:44 > 0:36:47- We have been to New Zealand. - New Zealand could be anything.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49But it could be anything.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52- It could be sport.- It could be sport. What do you want to chance?
0:36:52 > 0:36:53I don't feel great on action directors.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56I think we'll go New Zealand and take a chance.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58- OK.- Yeah?- I'm happy with that. Yep.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01OK, we're going to go New Zealand and hope there's some sport question in there.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03OK. I'm sure there will be. Richard?
0:37:03 > 0:37:05Yeah, people have worked out that code by now.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07If you put a part of the world on there,
0:37:07 > 0:37:09there's usually a sport one in there somewhere.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11Let's take a look at your three different questions,
0:37:11 > 0:37:12all very, very different.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14We are looking for...
0:37:27 > 0:37:29All of these are as of January 2014.
0:37:34 > 0:37:35Very best of luck.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38OK. Now, as always, you've got up to one minute
0:37:38 > 0:37:39to come up with three answers
0:37:39 > 0:37:42and all you need to win that jackpot is for just one of those answers
0:37:42 > 0:37:44to be pointless.
0:37:44 > 0:37:46Are you ready?
0:37:46 > 0:37:49- Yes.- Yeah.- OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock. There they are.
0:37:49 > 0:37:50Your time starts now.
0:37:50 > 0:37:52We forgetting prime ministers completely?
0:37:52 > 0:37:56- Yeah, no prime ministers.- How are you on Crowded House?- Not amazing.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59OK. I could probably come up with some answers.
0:37:59 > 0:38:03- I was hoping for cricket more than rugby.- Do you know your All Blacks?
0:38:03 > 0:38:07Yeah, I can name some, I'm thinking. I might not get the names all right.
0:38:07 > 0:38:11I'm thinking Keven Mealamu might be one. Ma'a Nonu is another. Um...
0:38:11 > 0:38:14Who's the captain who spear tackled Brian O'Driscoll? Um...
0:38:14 > 0:38:16Don't ask me about that.
0:38:16 > 0:38:20Um, there's Sivivatu, but I'm not sure of his first name.
0:38:20 > 0:38:23Richie McCaw, Dan Carter are pretty obvious ones.
0:38:23 > 0:38:26Um...I'm definitely thinking we'll go... Are you happy to go three?
0:38:26 > 0:38:28- Three rugby players?- Yeah.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30Do you know any Crowded House?
0:38:30 > 0:38:32- I only know Weather With You... - Yeah, exactly.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35- I can't think of any others.- Ones that aren't going to be pointless.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38- OK.- Let's go the All Blacks. - So I'll go Ma'a Nonu, I think's one.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41- Keven Mealamu, I think, will be another option.- Ten seconds left.
0:38:41 > 0:38:45Maybe go with someone older. Grant Fox, I think. OK, we've got enough.
0:38:45 > 0:38:46I trust you.
0:38:46 > 0:38:51OK, there we are. The clock is now running down and your time is up.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54That was impressive with time to spare.
0:38:54 > 0:38:55What are your three answers going to be?
0:38:55 > 0:38:58Um, I have a lot of friends who are big rugby fans
0:38:58 > 0:39:00who would be shouting and screaming when they watch this.
0:39:00 > 0:39:03- But I'm going to go with Grant Fox...- Grant Fox.
0:39:03 > 0:39:05- Keven Mealamu.- Keven Mealamu.
0:39:05 > 0:39:07- And Ma'a Nonu.- And Ma'a Nonu.
0:39:07 > 0:39:12Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:39:12 > 0:39:16I think, if I've said the name right, Keven Mealamu.
0:39:16 > 0:39:20Keven Mealamu. We'll put him last. Least likely to be pointless?
0:39:20 > 0:39:22- Grant Fox.- Grant Fox.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24- We'll pop him first.- I'm not sure.
0:39:24 > 0:39:28OK, let's pop those up on the board in that order. And here they are.
0:39:28 > 0:39:32We have got Grant Fox, Ma'a Nonu and Keven Mealamu.
0:39:34 > 0:39:38Very, very best of luck. Three good answers up there on the board.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41Let's hope they're all correct, let's hope at least one of those is pointless.
0:39:41 > 0:39:43If one of those is pointless,
0:39:43 > 0:39:46you not only go home with £1,500 jackpot,
0:39:46 > 0:39:48you also go down in history
0:39:48 > 0:39:51for being our fourth consecutive pointless,
0:39:51 > 0:39:54the very first time we've given the jackpot away
0:39:54 > 0:39:55in four consecutive shows.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58OK. £1,500. What would you do with that? Abby, you first.
0:39:58 > 0:39:59Um, we'd definitely buy a new car.
0:39:59 > 0:40:02We've got a white Fiesta at the moment but it's rusting
0:40:02 > 0:40:05and it lets water in and it's just kind of falling apart,
0:40:05 > 0:40:07so we really need to get a new car.
0:40:07 > 0:40:08Yeah, it's 14 years old,
0:40:08 > 0:40:11so I'd like to get a new car before it's old enough to drive itself.
0:40:11 > 0:40:13LAUGHTER
0:40:13 > 0:40:14Yeah. Well, very, very best of luck.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16Grant Fox was your least confident answer.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19Remember, only one of them has to be pointless for you to win the jackpot.
0:40:19 > 0:40:21Let's find out, is Grant Fox right? Is it pointless?
0:40:21 > 0:40:24If it is, it'll win you £1,500.
0:40:26 > 0:40:27Ooh, no!
0:40:29 > 0:40:34Grant Fox, for reasons we will soon discover, an incorrect answer.
0:40:34 > 0:40:37So only two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40Your second answer was Ma'a Nonu.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43Let's find out if that's right, then let's find out if it's pointless.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46If it's both of those things, you will leave here with £1,500.
0:40:46 > 0:40:48How many people said Ma'a Nonu.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53It's right.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56Your first answer, Grant Fox, was incorrect
0:40:56 > 0:40:59but Ma'a Nonu is absolutely right.
0:40:59 > 0:41:01Down it goes into single figures.
0:41:01 > 0:41:03Still going down. Still going down.
0:41:03 > 0:41:04You've done it!
0:41:04 > 0:41:06CHEERING
0:41:06 > 0:41:08Very well done, indeed.
0:41:08 > 0:41:11Fantastic. That's brilliant. Brilliant.
0:41:11 > 0:41:12Very well done.
0:41:17 > 0:41:20That is superb. Congratulations.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22Ma'a Nonu was a pointless answer,
0:41:22 > 0:41:25which means you go away with that jackpot of £1,500
0:41:25 > 0:41:27- and it's goodbye to the rusty Fiesta.- Yes!
0:41:27 > 0:41:31Oh, that's brilliant. Well done, Rich and Abby. Richard?
0:41:31 > 0:41:34Four shows in a row. Four shows in a row. You've done it. Congratulations.
0:41:34 > 0:41:38Keven Mealamu, also a pointless answer. So very well played.
0:41:38 > 0:41:41APPLAUSE
0:41:44 > 0:41:47Grant Fox only played 46 times, so that's a terrible answer.
0:41:47 > 0:41:48LAUGHTER
0:41:48 > 0:41:50What is wrong with you? You mentioned Dan Carter as well.
0:41:50 > 0:41:54He would've scored you a few points, and a couple of others you mentioned.
0:41:54 > 0:41:57But let's take a look through the pointless answers in the different categories.
0:41:57 > 0:41:58Here are the All Blacks.
0:41:58 > 0:42:01Byron Kelleher would have been a pointless answer.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03Sean Fitzpatrick. 92 caps for Sean Fitzpatrick.
0:42:03 > 0:42:07The most capped prop, Tony Woodcock, would have been a pointless answer.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10The brilliant number 8, Zinzan Brooke, also a pointless answer.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12Well done if you said him.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15Prime ministers of New Zealand. I mean, you could've...
0:42:15 > 0:42:17I know you concentrated on the All Blacks,
0:42:17 > 0:42:19but you could have probably gone through the board here.
0:42:19 > 0:42:21Helen Clark, of course, Clarky.
0:42:21 > 0:42:23Sewell, the Sewellmeister was there.
0:42:23 > 0:42:25Shippers, Jenny Shipley.
0:42:25 > 0:42:28And Seddo, Richard Seddon, he was also there.
0:42:28 > 0:42:31All of them pointless. Amazing stuff from the guys there.
0:42:31 > 0:42:34And UK Top 40 singles by Crowded House.
0:42:34 > 0:42:37Distant Sun, Instinct, Locked Out and Nails In My Feet.
0:42:37 > 0:42:42None of the big ones there, really, but I know that Crowded House fans would've got a couple of those.
0:42:42 > 0:42:45But congratulations. Four shows in a row. When's it going to end?
0:42:45 > 0:42:46Thanks very much, indeed, Richard.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49Thanks, once again, to our winning players, Rich and Abby,
0:42:49 > 0:42:52who go away with today's jackpot of £1,500.
0:42:52 > 0:42:55APPLAUSE
0:42:55 > 0:42:59Join us next time when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:01 > 0:43:03And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
0:43:03 > 0:43:05APPLAUSE
