0:00:16 > 0:00:18APPLAUSE
0:00:20 > 0:00:23Thank you. Hello. I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless.
0:00:23 > 0:00:27This is a show where all the questions have been asked to 100 people before the show
0:00:27 > 0:00:31and all our contestants have to do is come up with the answers no-one else could think of.
0:00:31 > 0:00:32Let's meet today's players.
0:00:32 > 0:00:33APPLAUSE
0:00:36 > 0:00:40- And couple number one...- Hi, I'm Jake. This is my mum, Victoria.
0:00:40 > 0:00:41And we're from London.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43Couple number two...
0:00:43 > 0:00:47I'm Michael and this is my wife Rachel and we're from Hammersmith.
0:00:47 > 0:00:48Couple number three...
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Hi, I'm Mark and this is my friend Georgie and we're from Leeds.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53And, finally, couple number four...
0:00:53 > 0:00:54Hiya, my name is Karen.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57This is my very lucky partner Craig and we're from Oldham.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59And these are today's contestants!
0:00:59 > 0:01:01APPLAUSE
0:01:01 > 0:01:05Thanks very much, all of you. We'll find out more about each of you throughout the show.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07So, that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10He often suffocates his prey before dislocating his jaw
0:01:10 > 0:01:12and swallowing them whole.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Yes, it's either a boa constrictor or my Pointless friend,
0:01:15 > 0:01:16it's Richard!
0:01:16 > 0:01:17Hello. Hiya.
0:01:17 > 0:01:18APPLAUSE
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Hello, everyone.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24- How are you?- I'm very well. - Excellent.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Now, we've only got one returning pair.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29That's Craig and Karen and their two unborn children on podium four there.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33- They're having twins. How about that?- I know. Exciting.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36- But not in the next 45 minutes. - I was just saying.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39Because that's only happened once before
0:01:39 > 0:01:42and you didn't do a bad job but erm...
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Obstetrics, let's say, is not your forte.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47No, but Xander's your man, because he's played doctors before, haven't you?
0:01:47 > 0:01:49So, you're sort of perfect for it.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51- I come from a long line of doctors, actually.- I know you do.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54That's why you are such a disappointment to your family, isn't it?
0:01:54 > 0:01:56LAUGHTER
0:01:56 > 0:01:58This is also true.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Let's get on with the show, shall we?
0:02:00 > 0:02:01Oh, let's do it. Thanks, Richard.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05As usual, all of today's questions have been asked to 100 people before the show.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08Our contestants are on the hunt for the all-important pointless answers,
0:02:08 > 0:02:10that being the answers that none of our 100 people gave.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14And each time that happens, of course, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Roy and Clemency didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:02:17 > 0:02:18so we add another £1,000 to that.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21So, today's jackpot starts off at...
0:02:22 > 0:02:24APPLAUSE
0:02:25 > 0:02:28Right, everyone's ready. Let's play Pointless.
0:02:31 > 0:02:36OK, now, remember the pair with the highest score at the end of each round will be eliminated.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39So, your only job is to make sure that's not you.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Our first category today is...
0:02:44 > 0:02:48Couples. Can you decide in your couples who is going to go first, who's going to go second.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57OK. And the question concerns...
0:03:01 > 0:03:02Politicians' spouses. Richard.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05On each board, we'll show you the names of seven politicians.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08We're just looking for the first name of their spouse.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11When they'd been married more than once, it'll be the name of their most recent spouse.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14So, there's going to be 14 in all to have a go out at home. Very best of luck.
0:03:14 > 0:03:15Thanks very much indeed.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19So, we're looking for the names of the spouses of these politicians
0:03:19 > 0:03:21and here is our first board of seven.
0:03:31 > 0:03:32I'll read those all again.
0:03:41 > 0:03:42There we are. Victoria, welcome.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44- Thank you.- Good to have you here.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46What you do, Victoria?
0:03:46 > 0:03:48I work for an news agency
0:03:48 > 0:03:53that delivers text and photos and video to lots of TV stations.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56- That's quite exciting. - Yeah, it's very exciting.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59- And you're not in the news-gathering department?- I have been.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02- I've been in news-gathering in my time.- Wow.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04- But you're on the wire as it all comes in.- Oh, yeah.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07- You know stuff a bit before everyone else.- Exactly.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11Sometimes things that they say, these are embargoed.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13- That's incredible.- It's amazing.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17A news agency is very different to a newsagent's. Isn't it? Isn't it?
0:04:17 > 0:04:19It sounds really similar but it's really different.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23It's a common misconception that I work in a newsagent.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26- Be quite cool if you did because of all the chocolate.- Exactly.
0:04:28 > 0:04:29It's win-win.
0:04:29 > 0:04:30Yeah.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33- Victoria.- Yes?
0:04:33 > 0:04:36What about all of these politicians?
0:04:36 > 0:04:39What about a nice obscure spouse?
0:04:40 > 0:04:43- Yeah.- How are we feeling? - I'm feeling OK.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46I do know some of the names of these spouses.
0:04:46 > 0:04:52But I'm just trying to think which is the most obscure.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56I'm going to say Sarah
0:04:56 > 0:04:58for Gordon Brown.
0:04:58 > 0:04:59Sarah, says Victoria.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03Let's see how many of our 100 people said Sarah. Is it right?
0:05:06 > 0:05:07Of course it is.
0:05:10 > 0:05:1240.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14APPLAUSE
0:05:14 > 0:05:1640 for Sarah Brown.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Yeah, Sarah Macauley as was.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21She wrote a book about their time in Downing Street called Behind The Black Door.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Haven't read it, but I'm guessing it's quite short.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26LAUGHTER
0:05:26 > 0:05:28- Very good. Now, Rachel.- Hello.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30Welcome to Pointless.
0:05:30 > 0:05:31What you do, Rachel?
0:05:31 > 0:05:35I'm a part-time mum to an eight-month-old baby girl called Lara.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37And I'm a part-time...
0:05:37 > 0:05:42I do these social media and communications for a fashions company.
0:05:42 > 0:05:43- Oh, that's fun.- Yeah.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47That, presumably, takes you all over the world. The fashion rather than...
0:05:47 > 0:05:48Do you know, I wish it did.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52But, unfortunately, working in social media means you kind of just sit at your computer mostly.
0:05:52 > 0:05:53OK, I see.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57Now, Rachel. How do we feel about spouses of politicians?
0:05:57 > 0:06:01Yeah, I feel quite good about this and I know a couple of them.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04But I think I'm going to go for Ed Miliband's wife Justine.
0:06:04 > 0:06:05Justine.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Whose wedding I remember rather well. I think. I hope.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11- Were you there?- No! But I remember what she wore, I think.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Right you are. OK, Justine, says Rachel.
0:06:13 > 0:06:18Let's see if that's right and, if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Justine Miliband.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22It's right.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27A new low score...
0:06:27 > 0:06:282!
0:06:28 > 0:06:30APPLAUSE
0:06:31 > 0:06:34That is very well chosen, Rachel. Very well done.
0:06:34 > 0:06:35Justine scores you 2.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Well played, Rachel. Good answer.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40She is a barrister, specialising in environmental law.
0:06:40 > 0:06:41Thanks very much.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44All right, now, Georgie, welcome. A warm welcome to you.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46- Thank you for having me. - It's a great pleasure.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49How nice of you to say that! No-one ever says that.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Teacher's pet.
0:06:52 > 0:06:53Absolutely. You're in the final!
0:06:53 > 0:06:55LAUGHTER
0:06:55 > 0:06:57What you do, Georgie?
0:06:57 > 0:07:01I work as a supervisor at a high-end fashion brand for females.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03- Oh, very fashion-heavy today. - Little bit.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06And what are your interests when you're not running fashion?
0:07:06 > 0:07:08I'm unusually at whisky shows, actually.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10I'm really interested in whisky, so...
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Do go for the blends or the single malts?
0:07:12 > 0:07:16- I prefer single malts. Usually Japanese, actually.- Very good.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Now, Georgie, spouses of politicians...
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Couple of them sticking out.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24But I'm hoping Mark might remember something a little bit more obscure for the next board,
0:07:24 > 0:07:28so I'm going to stick with Sarah for David Cameron.
0:07:29 > 0:07:30OK. Sarah.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34Our second Sarah of this board. Let's see if that's right, though.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Sarah Cameron, is it right and how money people said it?
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Oh, I'm sorry, Georgie.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44I'm afraid you're going to kick yourself when you know.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47- That's an incorrect answer. Scores you 100 points.- Sorry, Georgie.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51I'll give the correct answer at the end of the pass, in case Craig wants to have a go at that one.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54- Thanks very much. Craig, welcome back.- Thank you.
0:07:54 > 0:07:55Craig, remind us what you do.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57I buy and sell building materials.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Nothing to do with fashion.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Quite fashionable buying building materials, though.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Some of the grades of sand you've got there
0:08:05 > 0:08:07I know are pretty high-end.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11What are your interests outside of the building trade?
0:08:11 > 0:08:12I play golf.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16I try and play as much as I can, but not as much with work.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20Yeah, get as much golf in as you can between now and three months. Yes.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24Because that's going to probably have to take a bit of a holiday, I'm going to suggest, Craig.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Anyway, what are you going to go for?
0:08:26 > 0:08:28This board is all yours.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Nick Clegg, I have no idea.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33George Bush, it depends which George Bush it is.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35I can tell you, it's George HW Bush.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38I would say Barbara, but that might be his mother or his...
0:08:38 > 0:08:39I'm not sure which one.
0:08:39 > 0:08:43Clement Attlee I would go for a sort of Margaret, but...
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Hillary Clinton would be a Bill.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48But, I'm going to go with David Cameron's wife and say Samantha.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51You're going to take a Samantha for Cameron.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Samantha Cameron, is that right and how many people said it?
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Very well done. It's right.
0:09:00 > 0:09:0247.
0:09:02 > 0:09:03APPLAUSE
0:09:04 > 0:09:0747 for Samantha Cameron.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Yes, Sam Cam, of course, is what they shorten her name to.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13You're actually right on Hillary Clinton. Of course, married to Bill.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16Big scorer, though. Would've scored 80.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18George HW Bush is George Bush senior,
0:09:18 > 0:09:21so Barbara would've been the right answer there and would have scored you 13.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Would have been a terrific answer.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25But, a risky one, if you weren't sure.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Nick Clegg's wife is Miriam.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30She would've scored you 9.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32And Clement Attlee's wife is a pointless answer.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34It's Violet.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36Very well done if you said that. Violet Attlee.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40Thanks very much, Richard. We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at those scores.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Rachel, look at that.
0:09:42 > 0:09:442. Very impressive indeed.
0:09:46 > 0:09:4740 is the one up from that.
0:09:47 > 0:09:48And then 47,
0:09:48 > 0:09:50where we find Craig and Karen.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52And then 100, Georgie and Mark.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Now, Mark, a nice, low score from you
0:09:54 > 0:09:56could see you into the next round.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58- I will deliver.- Good.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00OK, we're going to come back down the line now.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:10:04 > 0:10:07OK, we're going to put seven more politicians up on the board and here they come.
0:10:17 > 0:10:18I'll read those all one last time.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30Seven politicians. We need the names of their spouses.
0:10:30 > 0:10:35And, Karen, you're going to go for the one you think the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37- Now, Karen, welcome back.- Thank you.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41Karen, talk us through your background, your hobbies.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43I do a lot of reading.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45What do you like to read?
0:10:45 > 0:10:47- More of the up-to-date stuff.- OK.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52Game Of Thrones, Hunger Games, the newer stuff.
0:10:52 > 0:10:53- The newer stuff?- Yeah.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57OK. Now, there you are, you're on 47. Not a bad score at all.
0:10:57 > 0:11:0052 or less and you are differently in the next round.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04- How are we feeling? - I know a couple. I know a few.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06But I'm going to play it really safe.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09And I'm going to go for John Major and Norma.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Norma. Norma Major.
0:11:11 > 0:11:12Here's your Red Line.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15If you get below that with Norma you are in Round Two.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Let's see how may people said Norma.
0:11:20 > 0:11:21It's right.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Very well done indeed. 40.
0:11:28 > 0:11:3187 is your total. You are in Round Two.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Well played, Karen. Perfectly judged there.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36Yes, Dame Norma Major. Made a dame in 1999.
0:11:37 > 0:11:38Thanks very much.
0:11:38 > 0:11:39- Now, Mark.- Hi.
0:11:39 > 0:11:40Now, Mark... Hi!
0:11:40 > 0:11:42Welcome. Welcome here.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44- From Leeds.- Thank you. - What you do, Mark?
0:11:44 > 0:11:46I'm an area manager for a recruitment company.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48But I actually work in the beauty industry.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51- You recruit into the beauty industry?- I do, yes.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53So we've got fashion, beauty.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Wow. What's going on in the greenroom back there?
0:11:55 > 0:11:58It must have been amazing. It must have been like in Milan.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Is not a greenroom any more.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Apparently, it's beige with a very nice pastel flooring.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07And quite a lot of sand. Beautiful sand.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10Yeah, there's a lot of aggregate just in the corner.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13- What are your interests, Mark? - I'm a massive traveller.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15I'm always trying to find the next place to go.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18Every holiday is a big holiday for me.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21And the thing that's occupying my time the most at the moment is I'm planning a wedding.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23- My own.- Your own?- My own.
0:12:23 > 0:12:24- Just to check, yeah.- Very good.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27- Well, massive congratulations to you.- Thank you very much.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29- You are the high-scorers.- Yes.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32If you could score less than 40, you're still in with a shout, I would say.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Yes, OK.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Well, I think I know all of them.
0:12:36 > 0:12:37This is good.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41And I'm going to go for the one which I think will be the most obscure.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44And I'm going to go for Audrey as the wife of James Callaghan.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Audrey Callaghan says Mark. Audrey Callaghan.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48No Red Line, you are the highest scorers.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51But let's see how money people said Audrey Callaghan.
0:12:53 > 0:12:54It's right.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02That's a great answer. Look at that! 1!
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Very well done indeed, Mark. Takes your total up to 101.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12A terrific answer, Mark. Very well played. Audrey Callaghan.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14They met as Sunday school teachers in Maidstone.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16Thanks very much.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Now then, Michael.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Michael, welcome. What you do, Michael?
0:13:20 > 0:13:23I run an office training game for companies.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25A game? A training game?
0:13:25 > 0:13:27I go in and I sort of set up a mystery
0:13:27 > 0:13:30and it's about lateral thinking and teamwork
0:13:30 > 0:13:32and the bosses sort of sit there with a clipboard
0:13:32 > 0:13:35and judge who is working well with people and who's a bit of a loner.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38Oh, I like the sound of that very much indeed.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40So, have you devised all these different scenarios?
0:13:40 > 0:13:44Yes, it's sort of a bit of trivia, a bit of making connections,
0:13:44 > 0:13:47a bit of undoing padlocks and stuff like that.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50They're not underwater while they're undoing padlocks, are they?
0:13:50 > 0:13:52We haven't got crocodiles nibbling at them?
0:13:52 > 0:13:55- I haven't done a job at the aquarium.- Yeah, good for you.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57That sounds enormous fun. There you are on 2.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01If you can score 98 or less, you're in Round Two.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06OK. I don't know all of them, by any stretch of the imagination.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09I'm going to go with Denis Thatcher.
0:14:09 > 0:14:13OK, Denis Thatcher, says Michael. Here's your red line.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16If you get below this, you're in round two.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19How many people said...? Anyone for Denis? Sorry!
0:14:19 > 0:14:22LAUGHTER
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Well done, Michael.
0:14:25 > 0:14:26- 76. - APPLAUSE
0:14:26 > 0:14:2878, your total.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32Comfortably through to the next round. The lowest total so far.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Well played, Michael.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Yeah, done by the sort of man who understand lateral thinking.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41All you need to do is get less than 98 points.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44Thanks very much. Now, then, Jake. Welcome to the show.
0:14:44 > 0:14:49- Great to have here. What do you do? - I work in online payments.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52- It's all...really hush hush. - That is...
0:14:52 > 0:14:56Online payments for a particular company, or are you sort of...?
0:14:56 > 0:15:00- Lots of different websites. - Lots of different websites, I see.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03- Now, Jake, 60 or less gets you through to the next round.- Yeah.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06Do you want to talk us through that board?
0:15:06 > 0:15:10OK, the one I'd love to know is John Prescott's wife.
0:15:10 > 0:15:14Tony Blair, I think it's going to be too high scoring, Cherie.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17Barack Obama, Michelle, probably also too high scoring.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21I'm going to go with Franklin D Roosevelt and Eleanor.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Eleanor. Let's see... There is your red line.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27If you get below that with Eleanor Roosevelt, you are in round two.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29Let's see if he's done it.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Well done.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37- Round two awaits. - APPLAUSE
0:15:37 > 0:15:41- 11! - APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:15:41 > 0:15:4551, your total, Jake. Very well done indeed.
0:15:45 > 0:15:50That's a very good answer, Jake. Good answers from everyone in this round.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54We'll fill in the board. Now, Mark, do you know John Prescott's wife?
0:15:54 > 0:15:58I've got a feeling it's Barbara. Or something along those lines.
0:15:58 > 0:15:59No! Pauline Prescott!
0:15:59 > 0:16:03Pauline, absolutely. Well played. Would have been a good answer.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06Would have scored four. Tony Blair is Cherie, of course.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Would have scored you 88.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12And Barack Obama is Michelle. Would have scored you 59.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15So, best answer on the board, Audrey Callaghan. Well played.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18Thanks, Richard. So, at the end of our first round,
0:16:18 > 0:16:21I'm afraid the pair heading home with the high score of 101,
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Mark, you did everything you needed to do there. Very impressive.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27- Lowest score individually of the round.- Thank you.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30The good news for us is we know we've got you coming back
0:16:30 > 0:16:32next show and we look forward to that.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36- Mark and Georgie, thanks very much for playing.- Thank you. - APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:16:36 > 0:16:40But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for round two.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42APPLAUSE
0:16:43 > 0:16:45So, now we're down to three pairs.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48At the end of this round, we'll be down to two pairs.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51Craig and Karen, well done. Welcome to round two.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53Victoria and Jake, lovely low scoring from you.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57Our lowest scoring pair. Rachel and Michael, some tactical play there.
0:16:57 > 0:16:58I'm sure you could have gone lower.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02Michael, you did exactly what you needed to do and nothing more.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06Best of luck. Our category for round two today is:
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Popular fiction.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first and second?
0:17:13 > 0:17:17And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20OK, and the question concerns...
0:17:24 > 0:17:27Protagonists of crime and thriller novels. Richard.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31We're going to show you the names of five protagonists of crime and thriller novels.
0:17:31 > 0:17:37We're looking for the name of any novel that any of them have featured in up to the start of 2014, please.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40The English name of any novel featuring the five people
0:17:40 > 0:17:42you're about to see, please.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46OK, so we're going to put five protagonists' names up on the board.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50They're going to stay on the board through the round. And here they are.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52We have got:
0:18:06 > 0:18:08I'll read those all one last time.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18- Victoria.- Yup.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22I think I'm ready. Slightly risky.
0:18:22 > 0:18:27But I'm going to say it anyway. The Spy Who Came In From The Cold.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30The Spy Who Came In from The Cold, says Victoria.
0:18:30 > 0:18:34Let's see if that's right and let's see how many people said it.
0:18:34 > 0:18:35It's right.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44- Five! - CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
0:18:48 > 0:18:51- Five.- Great answer, Victoria. Very well played. From 1963.
0:18:51 > 0:18:56It was chosen by Time magazine as one of the 100 greatest novels of all time.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59- Thanks very much. Now, Rachel... - Hello.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03- What are you going to go for?- I am going to go for Lisbeth Salander
0:19:03 > 0:19:06and I would like to say The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:19:14 > 0:19:15It's right.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18Well, five's our only score at this point.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20I wonder where you're going to end up with this.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23- 17. - APPLAUSE
0:19:26 > 0:19:27Well played, Rachel.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31Around 73 million copies of the Lisbeth Salander books have
0:19:31 > 0:19:33been sold so far, and counting.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37- Thanks, Richard. Now, Craig... - Yeah. Um...
0:19:37 > 0:19:40I'm going to take a risk, but... Jack Ryan.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43I'm going to go for Clear And Present Danger.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Clear And Present Danger, says Craig.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:19:50 > 0:19:51It's right.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54Well, 17's our high score, five our low.
0:19:54 > 0:19:58You've passed the high score, you've passed the low! Look at that!
0:19:58 > 0:20:01- New low score, there, Craig. Very well done indeed! - APPLAUSE
0:20:02 > 0:20:07Wow! No-one is mucking about here, are they? Terrific answer.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10It was the best selling novel in America in the 1980s,
0:20:10 > 0:20:12the whole decade.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15Fantastic. Thanks, Richard. We're halfway through the round.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18Let's take a look at those scores. Four. Very well done, Craig.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20The best score of that pass.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23Then up to five, where we find Victoria and Jake.
0:20:23 > 0:20:27Then 17, Rachel and Michael. Puts you a bit ahead of the field.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30We need a low score from you in the next pass. Best of luck with that.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:20:35 > 0:20:36OK.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40Karen, we're looking for the title of any novel that features
0:20:40 > 0:20:42one of these five protagonists.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45The high scorers are Michael and Rachel on 17,
0:20:45 > 0:20:48so 12 or less sees you into the head-to-head.
0:20:48 > 0:20:53Although I read quite a bit, I don't read crime novels.
0:20:53 > 0:20:58So, I'm going to have to go for the only category, Jason Bourne,
0:20:58 > 0:21:03and...The Bourne Supremacy.
0:21:03 > 0:21:08The Bourne Supremacy, says Karen. There's your red line.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11Ideally, you'll get below that.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15Let's see how far down the column you get with The Bourne Supremacy.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20It's right.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25Oh, it's not terrible by any means! 23!
0:21:25 > 0:21:27APPLAUSE
0:21:27 > 0:21:3027, your total.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32Yeah, the second Bourne novel.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36So, four answers and four different categories as well.
0:21:36 > 0:21:42- So, now we're looking for a Tom Ripley one.- Ideally. So, Michael.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46You're on 17. You want to be scoring nine or less.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49Yeah, I've got one I'm pretty sure of,
0:21:49 > 0:21:51but I think it's going to score round about nine.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55I'm not sure it's the best tactic. I've got one which is really risky,
0:21:55 > 0:21:58which I think I probably will go for.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00Rachel is right behind you!
0:22:00 > 0:22:02LAUGHTER
0:22:02 > 0:22:03She is...
0:22:03 > 0:22:08I think one of the very early John Le Carre novels is called
0:22:08 > 0:22:10A Murder Of Quality.
0:22:10 > 0:22:14A Murder Of Quality. OK, you're just hoping it's got George Smiley in it.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17A Murder Of Quality. Let's see if that's right.
0:22:17 > 0:22:22Here comes your red line. It's quite low. Let's see if A Murder Of Quality is right.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25Let's see if you can get below that red line with it.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29It's right.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31Well done, Michael.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34I have a hunch...this is going to take you down.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38- It does! It's pointless! - CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Everything you needed and more there.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44That adds £250 to the jackpot, takes the total up to £3,250,
0:22:44 > 0:22:49it scores you nothing and it leaves your total at a wonderful low 17.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51- Very well done indeed.- Well played.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54The round keeps getting better and better.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57I think that was his second novel, John Le Carre.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00- Another terrific book, actually. - Thanks very much indeed. Now, Jake.
0:23:00 > 0:23:05- Jake, you have to score 21 or less. - OK.
0:23:05 > 0:23:09I've got two that... I don't know where they've come from.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12I think I might have completely made them up,
0:23:12 > 0:23:15but if I haven't, they'll be really good.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17Um...
0:23:17 > 0:23:22Tom Ripley, I want to say Ripley's Game is a thing.
0:23:22 > 0:23:26George Smiley, I feel like there's one called Smiley's People.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29But then, those both sound too familiar, so I'm not really sure.
0:23:29 > 0:23:33So, I'm just going to go with Lisbeth Salander
0:23:33 > 0:23:35and The Girl Who Played With Fire.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37The Girl Who Played With Fire.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41OK, 21 is exactly what you have to score. 21 or less.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43There's your red line.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47Let's see if The Girl Who Played With Fire gets you down there.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Well, it's right.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55You've done it. Very well done! 16!
0:23:55 > 0:23:58- Beautifully judged there, Jake! - APPLAUSE
0:23:58 > 0:24:01Takes your total up to 21.
0:24:02 > 0:24:06- What a round!- Yeah, well played, everybody.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Tough to go out on 27 points.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11So your other two answers would have just seen you through.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14If you'd said Smiley's People, it would have scored you 21.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18And Ripley's Game would have been a great answer. Three points for that.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22And it would have been nice to have a Ripley answer. But we sort of have.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25Now, let's take a look at some pointless answers.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32Let's take a look at the rest of these.
0:24:35 > 0:24:36You could have had:
0:24:40 > 0:24:43And that was pre-Twitter as well!
0:24:43 > 0:24:46Patricia Highsmith really ahead of her time.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52So, at the end of our second round, the pair who are heading home
0:24:52 > 0:24:56with their really very low score of 27 are Karen and Craig.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00The second lowest score of the round was yours, Craig,
0:25:00 > 0:25:03so you did very well. Very close scoring in the end.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05You just happened to be the high scorers.
0:25:05 > 0:25:10It's been lovely having you on the show. Thank you so much for playing, Karen and Craig.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14- APPLAUSE - But for Rachel and Michael and Victoria and Jake,
0:25:14 > 0:25:18- it's now time for the head-to-head. - APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:25:20 > 0:25:23Congratulations, Victoria and Jake, Rachel and Michael.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26You're now one step closer to the final and a chance to
0:25:26 > 0:25:29play for our jackpot, which currently stands at £3,250.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
0:25:31 > 0:25:35So, we have to decide who's going to play for that money
0:25:35 > 0:25:38and to do that, you're now going to go head-to-head.
0:25:38 > 0:25:39You're now allowed to confer.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43The first to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45You've seen off our only returning pair
0:25:45 > 0:25:47and you have played your hearts out.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51This has been very exciting stuff, particularly that last round.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54I think this is going to be very hard fought. Best of luck.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57- Let's play the head-to-head. - APPLAUSE
0:26:01 > 0:26:04OK, here comes your first question, and it concerns:
0:26:08 > 0:26:11Famous people with Elmo. Richard.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14We're going to show you five pictures of famous people with
0:26:14 > 0:26:17Elmo from Sesame Street. Can you name the people, please?
0:26:17 > 0:26:21Let's reveal our five famous people with Elmo and here they come.
0:26:21 > 0:26:22We've got:
0:26:39 > 0:26:43OK. There we go. Five famous people with Elmo.
0:26:43 > 0:26:48Victoria and Jake, you've scored lowest, so you will go first.
0:26:48 > 0:26:52THEY WHISPER
0:26:52 > 0:26:55(E is Eamonn Holmes. A or C?)
0:26:55 > 0:26:58(Who do you think's going to be the most?)
0:26:58 > 0:27:02OK, we are going to go with D, Tony Bennett.
0:27:02 > 0:27:06Tony Bennett, say Victoria and Jake for D. Tony Bennett.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08Now, Rachel and Michael, do you think you can talk us
0:27:08 > 0:27:10through the rest of that board?
0:27:10 > 0:27:13Well, we were going to go for D.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15But we're having a slight dispute about A,
0:27:15 > 0:27:19we think B is Oprah Winfrey, E is Eamonn Holmes,
0:27:19 > 0:27:22C we really don't know and I think it's Tessa Sanderson.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25I think none of the others will beat Tony Bennett,
0:27:25 > 0:27:28so we will go A, Tessa Sanderson.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30OK. A, Tessa Sanderson say Rachel and Michael.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33So we have Tony Bennett and we have Tessa Sanderson.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36Victoria and Jake said Tony Bennett for D.
0:27:36 > 0:27:40Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said Tony Bennett.
0:27:41 > 0:27:42It's right.
0:27:46 > 0:27:4827.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50APPLAUSE
0:27:52 > 0:27:55Now, Rachel and Michael have said Tessa Sanderson for A.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58Let's see if that's right, and if it is, let's see
0:27:58 > 0:28:00how many people said Tessa Sanderson.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05Noooo.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07I'm afraid not Tessa Sanderson, which means,
0:28:07 > 0:28:10Victoria and Jake, well done. After one question, you're up 1-0.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13Yeah, sorry, Rachel, not Tessa Sanderson. It is
0:28:13 > 0:28:17an Olympic gold medallist though. It's Venus Williams.
0:28:18 > 0:28:22It would have scored you 8 points as well, a very good answer.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25B is Oprah Winfrey. A very big scorer.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27It would have scored you 80.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29C is the best answer up there.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31That's Norah Jones.
0:28:31 > 0:28:32Very well done if you said that.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34One point, so a terrific answer.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38And there's the lovely Eamonn Holmes with Elmo.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40Look at him there. Elmo, not Eamonn.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44And that would have scored you 52.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Here comes your second question.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50Michael and Rachel, you have to win this one to stay in the game,
0:28:50 > 0:28:53but you get to answer it first. So, best of luck. It concerns...
0:28:59 > 0:29:02- Rocket science. Richard.- Yeah, we're simply going to show you
0:29:02 > 0:29:05five clues now, two facts about the history of rocket science.
0:29:05 > 0:29:08Can you give us the most obscure answer?
0:29:08 > 0:29:11OK, let's reveal our five clues. And here they come. We've got...
0:30:00 > 0:30:04It's not rocket science. Only it is.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06Rachel and Michael go first.
0:30:06 > 0:30:10THEY CONFER
0:30:10 > 0:30:13Don't go with that one, I know that.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18OK, we're going to go for the top one
0:30:18 > 0:30:22- and we're going to say that is Yuri Gagarin.- Yuri Gagarin
0:30:22 > 0:30:24say Rachel and Michael. Yuri Gagarin.
0:30:24 > 0:30:28Now, Victoria and Jake, the rest of the board is yours.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31That's the one that we were going to go for.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34OK, so is two...
0:30:37 > 0:30:40I think, because there was, "Houston, we have a problem,"
0:30:40 > 0:30:45it's going to be in Texas. I mean, the bottom one is Isaac Newton.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48"We have lift off," but everyone knows that.
0:30:48 > 0:30:52And I don't know the name and number of the rocket used, so...
0:30:52 > 0:30:55I think it's between Texas and...
0:30:55 > 0:30:57Yeah, that's what we should say, probably.
0:30:57 > 0:31:01- No, let's go for Newton, just in case.- No, but everyone knows...
0:31:02 > 0:31:05Do they? The scientists...
0:31:05 > 0:31:08- I think Texas cos most people might think...- That it could be... OK.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11- Could be wrong.- Let's go for Texas. - We've got another chance.
0:31:11 > 0:31:15Can we go for NASA's first space flight centre in Texas?
0:31:15 > 0:31:18I can't wait to discover who's right here. Um...
0:31:18 > 0:31:19You're going to say Texas.
0:31:19 > 0:31:23So we have Yuri Gagarin and we have Texas.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25Now, Rachel and Michael said Yuri Gagarin.
0:31:25 > 0:31:30Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32It's right.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38- 50. - APPLAUSE
0:31:40 > 0:31:43Now, Victoria and Jake nearly went with Newton
0:31:43 > 0:31:45and nearly went with Texas. Nearly went with Newton,
0:31:45 > 0:31:49then they went with Texas cos it's obviously not going to be Florida,
0:31:49 > 0:31:52it's going to be Texas and most people would have said Florida.
0:31:52 > 0:31:56Therefore... We will discover - is it right, how many people said Texas?
0:32:00 > 0:32:02I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer, which means,
0:32:02 > 0:32:05well done, Rachel and Michael, you're back in the game.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08I knew this was going to come down to three questions. Very exciting.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10- It's 1-1.- It was inevitable.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12An object lesson there in listening to your mum
0:32:12 > 0:32:17because it's actually Maryland, the state and it's a pointless answer.
0:32:17 > 0:32:19Very difficult question.
0:32:19 > 0:32:24It's not the obvious one. Houston is named after Johnson.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27Um... So, if you had said Sir Isaac Newton,
0:32:27 > 0:32:31you'd be playing for the jackpot because it would have scored you 27
0:32:31 > 0:32:35points cos as your mum said, people don't really know about science.
0:32:35 > 0:32:39The term for the instant to begin flight is lift-off,
0:32:39 > 0:32:42but that's a very big scorer. Would have scored 76.
0:32:42 > 0:32:46And the name and number of the rocket is Saturn V.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49That would have scored you ten points. Well done if you said that.
0:32:49 > 0:32:53Thanks very much indeed. It's more fun to go to a third question.
0:32:53 > 0:32:57We have a decider. We just have a bit more of this...argh!
0:32:57 > 0:33:01Um... Best of luck to both pairs. Our third question concerns:
0:33:05 > 0:33:07World's strongest man. Richard.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10We're going to show you five events traditionally taken part
0:33:10 > 0:33:14in in the world's strongest man, but we've missed out alternate letters.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17Fill in the gaps and give us the most obscure.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20OK, let's reveal our five events and here they are.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36I'll read those all one last time.
0:33:45 > 0:33:49There we are. Victoria and Jake, you will go first this time.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51THEY WHISPER
0:34:00 > 0:34:03- Yeah, I think it is. Go for the second one.- Yeah?- Yeah.
0:34:03 > 0:34:07OK, we're going to go number two, keg toss.
0:34:07 > 0:34:12Keg toss, say Victoria and Jake. Keg toss. Now then, Rachel and Michael.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14Talk us through these events.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17We think the top one is the brilliantly named
0:34:17 > 0:34:19Pillars of Hercules.
0:34:19 > 0:34:23Then, the third one, we think is truck pull.
0:34:23 > 0:34:27The bottom one is Atlas Stones.
0:34:27 > 0:34:30The fourth one, you're lifting something.
0:34:30 > 0:34:35But what it is... So, we'll go with the bottom one, Atlas Stones.
0:34:35 > 0:34:39Atlas Stones, say Rachel and Michael.
0:34:39 > 0:34:41So we have keg toss versus Atlas Stones.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43Victoria and Jake said keg toss.
0:34:43 > 0:34:47Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49It's right.
0:34:53 > 0:34:56- 24. - APPLAUSE
0:34:59 > 0:35:02Rachel and Michael have said Atlas Stones.
0:35:02 > 0:35:06Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said that.
0:35:07 > 0:35:08It's right.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13If it beats 24, you're through to the final
0:35:13 > 0:35:15- and it does. Well done. Eight. - APPLAUSE
0:35:19 > 0:35:21Superb play there, Rachel and Michael.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24After three questions, you are through to the final 2-1.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26Very well played, both teams.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29A really good head-to-head. You're right about the Pillars of Hercules.
0:35:29 > 0:35:32Would have been a better answer. Would have scored you one point.
0:35:32 > 0:35:35Truck pull would have been a slightly bigger score.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38Would have scored you 41. Now, you're right about lift.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41But it's not what you're lifting, it's how you're lifting.
0:35:41 > 0:35:42It's the squat lift.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45- Ah.- That would have scored you three points. Very well done.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48I know that some people would have gone all the way through that board.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50- Very well done, if you did. - OK, thanks.
0:35:50 > 0:35:55So, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round, I'm afraid, Victoria and Jake.
0:35:55 > 0:35:58Low scoring the whole way through, up to the head-to-head.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01But I'm afraid Michael and Rachel with their in-depth
0:36:01 > 0:36:04knowledge of world's strongest man whipped it away from you.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07The good news is we get to see you next time.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10Victoria and Jake, thanks very much for playing meanwhile.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12APPLAUSE
0:36:12 > 0:36:16But for Rachel and Michael, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
0:36:19 > 0:36:23Congratulations, Rachel and Michael. You've seen off all the competition
0:36:23 > 0:36:26and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:31 > 0:36:33You now have a chance to win our jackpot
0:36:33 > 0:36:36and at the end today's show, the jackpot stands at:
0:36:38 > 0:36:41CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
0:36:41 > 0:36:43It's your only appearance on Pointless. Just the one.
0:36:43 > 0:36:47And we've had our only pointless answer for a while now from you,
0:36:47 > 0:36:50Michael. Very well done indeed. Now, as always, you get to choose your category.
0:36:50 > 0:36:54There are four options. Let's hope at least one of those fits the bill for you.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57Let's find out whet they are. Your choices are:
0:37:06 > 0:37:10- Piano-playing songwriters...- I wouldn't even...- No idea. Monaco...
0:37:10 > 0:37:12I've been there once.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15Do you know Brat Pack actors? There's quite a few of them.
0:37:15 > 0:37:16A bit young.
0:37:16 > 0:37:20- It's either Monaco or the Brat Pack. - Really?- Yeah.
0:37:20 > 0:37:24Let's do Monaco, then. We'll do Monaco.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26LAUGHTER
0:37:26 > 0:37:28As the least worst alternative.
0:37:28 > 0:37:30OK, Monaco, it is.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33Very best of luck. Three very different questions here.
0:37:33 > 0:37:38LAUGHTER Let's take a look. We are looking for the name of any:
0:37:47 > 0:37:50Or we are looking for any feature film made for cinema
0:37:50 > 0:37:54release for which Grace Kelly has received an acting credit, please.
0:37:58 > 0:38:00Very best of luck.
0:38:00 > 0:38:04OK, now, as always, you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers
0:38:04 > 0:38:07and all you need to win that jackpot is for just one of those
0:38:07 > 0:38:11- answers to be pointless. Are you ready?- Yes.- OK.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13Let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:38:13 > 0:38:15There they are. Your time starts now.
0:38:15 > 0:38:17- OK.- OK, do you know any descendents of...
0:38:17 > 0:38:20Yes, Andrea Casiraghi might be a good answer.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22It's a brilliant answer!
0:38:22 > 0:38:25- Caroline and Stephanie are the two obvious...- Go with that one.
0:38:25 > 0:38:29- I can guess at a couple of Grand Prix drivers.- OK, go for it.
0:38:29 > 0:38:33Fangio, but he's very famous. And the non-European ones...
0:38:33 > 0:38:37I think maybe Jody Scheckter. Maybe Carlos Reutemann won.
0:38:37 > 0:38:39Erm...
0:38:39 > 0:38:42- Nelson Piquet, I'm pretty sure... He was a very Monaco guy.- Yeah.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45So it's just a question of which one... Grace Kelly, I...
0:38:45 > 0:38:48- Prince Albert hasn't got any kids. - To Catch A Thief.
0:38:48 > 0:38:52- Let's go with...Andrea Casiraghi. - Yeah.- It's brilliant!- Yeah.
0:38:52 > 0:38:55Charlotte Casiraghi, I think, is his sister.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57Ha! Let's do that one as well! OK.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00- And we'll go with...- Or she might be... Try them both.- OK.
0:39:00 > 0:39:03And we'll go with one Grand Prix driver, so we can either have...
0:39:03 > 0:39:07- Who do you think? Fangio, Scheckter...- Ten seconds left. - Reutemann?
0:39:07 > 0:39:09- Don't ask me. I haven't heard of any of them.- Piquet.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12- I've heard of that one. - OK, we won't go with that one.
0:39:12 > 0:39:14- We'll go with Jody Scheckter.- Yeah?
0:39:14 > 0:39:18OK, that's your time up, just as you decide on your third and final answer.
0:39:18 > 0:39:22So, what are your three answers going to be and if you can say which category they are?
0:39:22 > 0:39:25- Charlotte Casiraghi... - Charlotte Casiraghi.
0:39:25 > 0:39:27- ..and Andrea Casiraghi... - Andrea Casiraghi.
0:39:27 > 0:39:30..who are in the descendents of Prince Rainier.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32- OK.- And we've got a Grand Prix driver, Jody Scheckter.
0:39:32 > 0:39:37Jody Scheckter. Of those three answers, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:39:37 > 0:39:41- Andrea Casiraghi.- Andrea Casiraghi. - Andrea Casiraghi, we'll put last.
0:39:41 > 0:39:44- Least likely to be pointless? - Jody Scheckter. - Jody Scheckter, we'll put first.
0:39:44 > 0:39:49OK, let's pop those answers up on the board in that order and here they are.
0:39:54 > 0:39:58Well, top Grimaldi knowledge there, I have to say. Fantastic answers.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01Who knows if they're right or not. We will discover.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04But they look great on the board, certainly. Very best of luck.
0:40:04 > 0:40:07Only one of these has to be pointless for you to win that
0:40:07 > 0:40:10jackpot. £3,250, it's turning into quite a nice jackpot.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13- What would you do with that? Rachel? - I would like to go on holiday.
0:40:13 > 0:40:16I had a baby eight months ago and I haven't been on holiday since.
0:40:16 > 0:40:18So it would be nice.
0:40:18 > 0:40:22- Michael, how about you?- I'd like to go on the same holiday.- Good idea!
0:40:22 > 0:40:25Possibly with some earplugs because of the baby.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27Indeed. OK, very best of luck.
0:40:27 > 0:40:29Your first answer was Jody Scheckter.
0:40:29 > 0:40:33We were looking for non-European winners of the Monaco Grand Prix.
0:40:33 > 0:40:37Obviously, it has to be right, then it has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40For £3,250, let's see how many people said Jody Scheckter.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44It's right.
0:40:44 > 0:40:47OK, if this goes all the way down to zero,
0:40:47 > 0:40:50then you will leave here immediately with £3,250.
0:40:50 > 0:40:54Down it goes. Jody Scheckter, going through the single figures.
0:40:54 > 0:40:58- Still going down! You've done it! - CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
0:40:58 > 0:41:01Very well done indeed!
0:41:01 > 0:41:03Brilliant!
0:41:06 > 0:41:09- It was meant to be my answer! - APPLAUSE DROWNS OUT SPEECH
0:41:09 > 0:41:12Congratulations! Jody Scheckter was a pointless answer,
0:41:12 > 0:41:15which means you go home with our jackpot of £3,250.
0:41:15 > 0:41:18- Very well done indeed! - CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
0:41:22 > 0:41:26Wow! And that was the least impressive of the names up there.
0:41:26 > 0:41:28That's the one we could spell!
0:41:28 > 0:41:31- Richard.- Brilliant stuff. The South African Jody Scheckter,
0:41:31 > 0:41:34always used to be in Superstars as well.
0:41:34 > 0:41:37Funnily enough, Carlos Reutemann was also a pointless answer,
0:41:37 > 0:41:41the Argentinean. I was about to say you haven't put a foot wrong,
0:41:41 > 0:41:43but you have put one slight foot wrong, which is
0:41:43 > 0:41:46you've taken some of the credit away from the lovely Rachel there
0:41:46 > 0:41:50cos the other two answers were also both pointless. CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
0:41:56 > 0:42:00So, three pointless answers. Doesn't happen that often, so very well done,
0:42:00 > 0:42:03especially in a category you weren't keen on going for.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06Imagine what you'd have done on Brat Pack movies!
0:42:06 > 0:42:10Let's take a look at the pointless answers in the different categories.
0:42:10 > 0:42:11A few more Grand Prix drivers.
0:42:15 > 0:42:16Nelson Piquet has never won it.
0:42:16 > 0:42:19Denny Hulme, as well, and Bruce McLaren,
0:42:19 > 0:42:22the two New Zealanders, also would have been pointless there.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25Let's have a look at some more of these descendants.
0:42:25 > 0:42:28Also, you could have had Charlotte Casiraghi, as you know.
0:42:28 > 0:42:32Raphael, Pierre and Sacha Andrea Casiraghi, all pointless as well.
0:42:33 > 0:42:36All of those were pointless.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38Very well done if you said any of those!
0:42:38 > 0:42:40And Grace Kelly films...
0:42:44 > 0:42:48And there's one other pointless answer on that, which was Green Fire.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51Well done if you said any of those, but three in the studio.
0:42:51 > 0:42:55- Congratulations! Terrific play! - Thanks very much indeed.
0:42:55 > 0:42:59Thanks once again to our winning players, Rachel and Michael,
0:42:59 > 0:43:01who go away with today's jackpot of £3,250.
0:43:03 > 0:43:07Join us next time when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.
0:43:07 > 0:43:09- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:09 > 0:43:11And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
0:43:11 > 0:43:13CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
