0:00:20 > 0:00:23- APPLAUSE - Thank you very much indeed.

0:00:23 > 0:00:25Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,

0:00:25 > 0:00:27the show where the aim of the game

0:00:27 > 0:00:29is to find the most obscure answer possible.

0:00:29 > 0:00:30Let's meet today's players.

0:00:30 > 0:00:33APPLAUSE

0:00:34 > 0:00:36And couple number one.

0:00:36 > 0:00:40Hi, I'm Gary. This is Martin. We're from Teignmouth.

0:00:40 > 0:00:41Couple number two.

0:00:41 > 0:00:43Hi, I'm Norm and this is my friend, Andy.

0:00:43 > 0:00:47Both retired firefighters and now international sports stars.

0:00:47 > 0:00:49Couple number three.

0:00:49 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Joanne, this is my sister Vicky and we're from Essex.

0:00:53 > 0:00:55And, finally, couple number four.

0:00:55 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Stu. This is my friend Mike.

0:00:58 > 0:01:01We're friends and running buddies and we're from Glasgow.

0:01:01 > 0:01:03And these are today's contestants.

0:01:03 > 0:01:05APPLAUSE

0:01:05 > 0:01:07Thanks very much, all of you.

0:01:07 > 0:01:09We'll find out more about you throughout the show.

0:01:09 > 0:01:12That just leaves one more person for me to introduce.

0:01:12 > 0:01:14A riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma,

0:01:14 > 0:01:16inside an M&S suit.

0:01:16 > 0:01:18It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.

0:01:18 > 0:01:20Hiya! APPLAUSE

0:01:20 > 0:01:22Hi, everybody! Hello, there.

0:01:24 > 0:01:27- Good afternoon to you. - And to you.- Are you well?

0:01:27 > 0:01:29- I can't grumble, I really mustn't. - Excellent.

0:01:29 > 0:01:33We've two returning pairs coming back from the last show.

0:01:33 > 0:01:36We've a couple of stories of the 200 Club in there because Andy and Norm,

0:01:36 > 0:01:39as well as being retired firefighters and international sports stars -

0:01:39 > 0:01:41you'll find out why in a minute, honestly -

0:01:41 > 0:01:45they're also proud members of the 200 Club from that first round.

0:01:45 > 0:01:46Then we've got Vicky and Joanne

0:01:46 > 0:01:50and Vicky, by herself, is a member of the 200 Club.

0:01:50 > 0:01:53She did get through to Round Two, but she gave two incorrect answers.

0:01:53 > 0:01:55It'd be great if just one of the three of you,

0:01:55 > 0:01:57at some point, could get a correct answer today.

0:01:57 > 0:01:59It would be lovely for everyone to see.

0:01:59 > 0:02:02OK, thanks, Richard. All our questions on today's Pointless

0:02:02 > 0:02:06have been asked of 100 people before the show and our contestants

0:02:06 > 0:02:09are on the hunt for those answers those 100 people couldn't give.

0:02:09 > 0:02:12If you can find a pointless answer, one none of our 100 people gave,

0:02:12 > 0:02:14we will add £250 to the jackpot.

0:02:14 > 0:02:16David and Harriet didn't win the jackpot last time,

0:02:16 > 0:02:19so we add another £1,000 to that,

0:02:19 > 0:02:21so today's jackpot starts off at £5,000.

0:02:21 > 0:02:24CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:02:24 > 0:02:27Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.

0:02:31 > 0:02:34OK, all you have to remember is that the pair with the highest score

0:02:34 > 0:02:37at the end of each round will be eliminated.

0:02:37 > 0:02:40That's basically the only rule. Best of luck to all four pairs.

0:02:40 > 0:02:43Our first category today is...

0:02:43 > 0:02:45Motor Racing.

0:02:46 > 0:02:49- That's gone down well, hasn't it(?) - Hasn't it?!- Yeah.

0:02:49 > 0:02:52Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first and second?

0:02:52 > 0:02:55Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:02:58 > 0:03:00OK, let's find out what the question is.

0:03:00 > 0:03:03We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name

0:03:03 > 0:03:07as many European Formula One Champions as they could. Richard?

0:03:07 > 0:03:10Yes, simply looking for anyone who had a European nationality

0:03:10 > 0:03:12when they won a Formula One World Championship.

0:03:12 > 0:03:16All the way through from the first one in 1950 through to 2013.

0:03:16 > 0:03:19Any European who has won that Championship,

0:03:19 > 0:03:21or anyone who was European at the time that he did.

0:03:21 > 0:03:23Thank you, Richard.

0:03:23 > 0:03:26- Now, Gary, welcome to the show.- Hi. - Good to have you here.

0:03:26 > 0:03:28- What do you do, Gary? - I'm a flooring contractor.

0:03:28 > 0:03:31I sell floors and I fit floors.

0:03:31 > 0:03:33Do you do screed floors?

0:03:33 > 0:03:37We screed floors, we lay wooden floors, carpets, things like that.

0:03:37 > 0:03:40Is there any kind of floor you don't lay, Gary?

0:03:40 > 0:03:43No, we can cover anything.

0:03:43 > 0:03:45A Lego floor? Anyone ever asked for that?

0:03:45 > 0:03:48That would be the worst floor in the world.

0:03:48 > 0:03:51That would be hard to walk on at night, I would imagine.

0:03:51 > 0:03:52You could put a Lego floor down,

0:03:52 > 0:03:56with a design that maybe you or your kids come up with,

0:03:56 > 0:03:59then Gary here could do a varnish screed.

0:03:59 > 0:04:02- Gary can do anything. - I know he can do anything.

0:04:02 > 0:04:05- But that would be a great floor, wouldn't it?- It would be amazing.

0:04:05 > 0:04:09This floor is, as you've probably spotted, plutonium.

0:04:09 > 0:04:12- Pure plutonium.- Pure plutonium.

0:04:12 > 0:04:16- I can't even remember why we did that, apart from for fun.- For fun!

0:04:16 > 0:04:19Because you found that load of plutonium in the dressing room

0:04:19 > 0:04:22and we thought, well, shame to throw it out.

0:04:22 > 0:04:25I found that plutonium, you found that massive floor buffer.

0:04:25 > 0:04:28And I got him to do the floor.

0:04:28 > 0:04:29RICHARD LAUGHS

0:04:29 > 0:04:33Thanks very much. Now, Gary, Formula One, is it good for you?

0:04:33 > 0:04:37No. But I know a few.

0:04:37 > 0:04:42Over the years, I've noted who might be a Formula One champion.

0:04:45 > 0:04:46Graham Hill.

0:04:46 > 0:04:49Graham Hill, says Gary. Graham Hill.

0:04:49 > 0:04:51Let's see if that's right and, if it is,

0:04:51 > 0:04:53let's see how many of our 100 people said it.

0:04:55 > 0:04:57It's right.

0:05:01 > 0:05:04That's a very good start to the show. Very well done, Gary.

0:05:04 > 0:05:0612 points for Graham Hill.

0:05:06 > 0:05:08APPLAUSE

0:05:08 > 0:05:10Great start, Gary. Well played.

0:05:10 > 0:05:12In 1962 and in 1968, he won.

0:05:12 > 0:05:14And he's European.

0:05:14 > 0:05:15- And he's European.- Yeah.

0:05:15 > 0:05:17I like that idea of a European nationality.

0:05:17 > 0:05:19Someone had a European nationality. I mean, it's right.

0:05:19 > 0:05:21It's the right wording.

0:05:21 > 0:05:24Should be "an" European nationality. Why is it not that? Begins with an E.

0:05:24 > 0:05:26I know. I know. Anyway, that's...

0:05:26 > 0:05:29Thanks very much. Now, Norm, welcome.

0:05:29 > 0:05:31- Welcome back.- Thank you. - Welcome back. Now, remind us.

0:05:31 > 0:05:33Remind us what you do.

0:05:33 > 0:05:38I am an international sports star in the field of egg throwing,

0:05:38 > 0:05:41and I am what's called a tosser.

0:05:42 > 0:05:45Which is one half of a team of two,

0:05:45 > 0:05:47so you have a tosser and a catcher.

0:05:47 > 0:05:48And is that another waistcoat,

0:05:48 > 0:05:50or is that the same waistcoat as last time?

0:05:50 > 0:05:53I'm just trying to distract you from my answer, that's all.

0:05:53 > 0:05:55OK.

0:05:55 > 0:05:57What's the answer to the waistcoat question first?

0:05:57 > 0:06:00- Yes, it's a different one.- It's remarkably similar to the last one!

0:06:00 > 0:06:03- It's definitely different. - It's definitely different.

0:06:03 > 0:06:06OK, Norm, right - Formula One drivers.

0:06:06 > 0:06:08European Formula One drivers' champions.

0:06:08 > 0:06:11I am going to go for... Niki Lauda.

0:06:11 > 0:06:13OK. Niki Lauda. Let's see if that's right.

0:06:13 > 0:06:15Let's see how many people said it.

0:06:18 > 0:06:20It's right.

0:06:20 > 0:06:22Well, 12 is our low score...

0:06:23 > 0:06:25You pass it - 9!

0:06:28 > 0:06:32Niki Lauda...overtakes Graham Hill.

0:06:32 > 0:06:34On the bend. Who saw that coming?

0:06:34 > 0:06:37He UNDERtook Graham Hill - even more impressive.

0:06:37 > 0:06:39Three world titles for Niki Lauda.

0:06:39 > 0:06:42Now, then. Vicki.

0:06:42 > 0:06:44- Welcome back. - Thank you.

0:06:44 > 0:06:47Now, Vicki, you heard what the gentlemen said.

0:06:47 > 0:06:50- We've had two answers from you. - Yes.

0:06:50 > 0:06:52They've both been...

0:06:52 > 0:06:55blessed with incorrectness.

0:06:55 > 0:06:57- Wrong categories for me.- Yeah.

0:06:57 > 0:07:00Luckily, we're now back on the terra firma that is Formula One.

0:07:00 > 0:07:02- Sport.- Good.

0:07:02 > 0:07:04Remind us what you do, Vicki.

0:07:04 > 0:07:06I'm a stay-at-home mum.

0:07:06 > 0:07:08But very interested in sport.

0:07:08 > 0:07:09Very interested in sport.

0:07:09 > 0:07:12- And you follow Formula One.- I do.

0:07:12 > 0:07:14- Do you think you can go better than nine?- I hope...

0:07:14 > 0:07:16I was going to say Niki Lauda.

0:07:16 > 0:07:19I'm going to say Mika Hakkinen.

0:07:19 > 0:07:21Mika Hakkinen, says Vicki. Let's see if that's right.

0:07:21 > 0:07:23Let's see how many people said Mika Hakkinen.

0:07:26 > 0:07:28It's absolutely right.

0:07:29 > 0:07:3212 is our high score, 9 our low.

0:07:32 > 0:07:34You've passed both of them!

0:07:34 > 0:07:35Look at that, down to 5!

0:07:35 > 0:07:37APPLAUSE

0:07:37 > 0:07:40Oh, Vicki!

0:07:40 > 0:07:42- Pleased!- That is...

0:07:42 > 0:07:45You've broken through the tape of this round, so far.

0:07:45 > 0:07:47And you've broken your duck, at the same time. Five.

0:07:47 > 0:07:48Best score so far.

0:07:48 > 0:07:52Another two-time champion - Mika Hakkinen. The Fin.

0:07:52 > 0:07:54And Finland being in Europe, I'm accepting it as an answer.

0:07:54 > 0:07:58- I think you would be right to do that.- Yeah.

0:07:58 > 0:08:00- Good. Now, Stu, welcome.- Hello.

0:08:00 > 0:08:03- You said you were from Glasgow. - I did.

0:08:03 > 0:08:04Talk to me some more.

0:08:04 > 0:08:07- Hello, I'm from Glasgow. - Ah, yes...

0:08:07 > 0:08:11- Have you always lived in Glasgow? - No.- Yeah, I... You see?

0:08:11 > 0:08:13- Henry Higgins! - Well done, Detective.- Yeah.

0:08:13 > 0:08:15You're like a young Benedict Cumberbatch.

0:08:15 > 0:08:18LAUGHTER

0:08:19 > 0:08:21Where are you from before Glasgow?

0:08:21 > 0:08:23Originally, from Nottingham.

0:08:23 > 0:08:26- Right.- Then London in between.

0:08:26 > 0:08:28And how long have you lived in Glasgow?

0:08:28 > 0:08:31- About two and a half years. - And what are you doing up there?

0:08:31 > 0:08:33I am being a cartographer.

0:08:33 > 0:08:34Gee, that's fun!

0:08:34 > 0:08:37We don't get nearly enough cartographers on this show.

0:08:37 > 0:08:39Might be our first.

0:08:39 > 0:08:40A map-maker.

0:08:40 > 0:08:42- Essentially.- If you will.

0:08:42 > 0:08:44What do you do when you're not mapping?

0:08:44 > 0:08:46I run.

0:08:46 > 0:08:47You and Mike run together?

0:08:47 > 0:08:50You are competitive in your running.

0:08:50 > 0:08:53- I am sort of in front... - LAUGHTER

0:08:53 > 0:08:55A little bit like this.

0:08:55 > 0:08:57Is this true, Mike? Is this true?

0:08:57 > 0:08:59- Yeah, probably is.- OK.

0:08:59 > 0:09:00So, what sort of running do you do?

0:09:00 > 0:09:02- We do long-distance running. - Road-running.

0:09:02 > 0:09:04Yeah. On the road.

0:09:04 > 0:09:06Long-distance running on a road.

0:09:06 > 0:09:09With lots of other people, wearing numbers, and competing?

0:09:09 > 0:09:11- Yeah, sometimes. Sometimes we do that.- OK.

0:09:11 > 0:09:13What kind of long-distance?

0:09:13 > 0:09:16We're building up to do a marathon very soon.

0:09:16 > 0:09:19- His second, my first marathon. - OK. Now, Stu...- Yes.

0:09:19 > 0:09:23So any European winner of the Formula One drivers' championship?

0:09:23 > 0:09:27Erm... Yeah, this is not the best category for me.

0:09:27 > 0:09:30Erm... I have a name,

0:09:30 > 0:09:31and I can't think of any others.

0:09:31 > 0:09:35So I'm going to say Sebastian Vettel.

0:09:35 > 0:09:37Sebastian "Ve-tell" or Vettel.

0:09:37 > 0:09:38Let's see if that is right,

0:09:38 > 0:09:41and if it is how many of our 100 people said that.

0:09:43 > 0:09:45It's right.

0:09:45 > 0:09:47At the moment 12 is our high score and five our low.

0:09:47 > 0:09:49Oh! Until now.

0:09:49 > 0:09:52APPLAUSE

0:09:52 > 0:09:54And that's a good answer - it's right.

0:09:54 > 0:09:57It was well below 100, so, yes, 35, well done.

0:09:57 > 0:09:58Big score, though.

0:09:58 > 0:10:02Won four consecutive world titles, 2010 to 2013.

0:10:02 > 0:10:03He's a big Anglophile -

0:10:03 > 0:10:06loves British comedy, Little Britain, Monty Python.

0:10:06 > 0:10:08Thanks very much. OK, we're halfway through the round,

0:10:08 > 0:10:10let's look at those scores as they stand.

0:10:10 > 0:10:12Five the best score of that pass. Vicki...

0:10:12 > 0:10:15bask in the glory of that. Very well done.

0:10:15 > 0:10:17Puts you and Joanne in pole position.

0:10:17 > 0:10:21Then up to nine, where we find Norm and Andy, up to 12 where we find Gary and Martin.

0:10:21 > 0:10:23And then Stu and Mike up there on 35.

0:10:23 > 0:10:25You're not that far in front, but, Mike,

0:10:25 > 0:10:27how good's your Formula One knowledge?

0:10:27 > 0:10:29As good as Stu's, probably.

0:10:29 > 0:10:32OK, we might be saying goodbye to you at the end of the round.

0:10:32 > 0:10:34- LAUGHTER - It's been great!

0:10:34 > 0:10:36Good luck with that, Mike.

0:10:36 > 0:10:39OK, can the second players please step up to the podium.

0:10:39 > 0:10:43OK, so, remember, we're looking for the name of any European driver

0:10:43 > 0:10:46who's won the Formula One drivers' championship.

0:10:46 > 0:10:48Mike, welcome.

0:10:48 > 0:10:52- Now, what do you do Mike? - I'm an architect.

0:10:52 > 0:10:55- Any particular kind of buildings you design?- Erm...

0:10:55 > 0:10:56No particular kind, no.

0:10:56 > 0:10:58Mainly residential.

0:10:58 > 0:11:00More residential. That's nice.

0:11:00 > 0:11:02I think that's nicer, isn't it? To do more residential things?

0:11:02 > 0:11:05Where do you stand on floors?

0:11:05 > 0:11:08- I always stand on floors! - I'm quite firm on floors.

0:11:08 > 0:11:12Yeah. Now, Mike, there you are, you're the high scorers on 35.

0:11:12 > 0:11:14We want the name of any European driver

0:11:14 > 0:11:16who's won the Formula One drivers' championship.

0:11:16 > 0:11:20Erm... I think because we're the highest scorer,

0:11:20 > 0:11:23I've just got to go with something that I'm not entirely sure with

0:11:23 > 0:11:26but, I'm going to go with Gilles Villeneuve.

0:11:26 > 0:11:28OK. Gilles Villeneuve.

0:11:28 > 0:11:31There's no red line for you, as you are the high scorers,

0:11:31 > 0:11:34but let's see if that's right - Gilles Villeneuve.

0:11:35 > 0:11:38Oh. I'm sorry, Mike.

0:11:38 > 0:11:41I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer, scores you 100 points,

0:11:41 > 0:11:44takes your total to an unbeatable 135.

0:11:44 > 0:11:48Never won a world title, Gilles Villeneuve.

0:11:48 > 0:11:50- What you going to do? - Tant pis.

0:11:50 > 0:11:55I have won as many World Formula One championships as Gilles Villeneuve.

0:11:55 > 0:11:57Yes, well done that.

0:11:57 > 0:11:59We're level on the... If you look down the list.

0:12:02 > 0:12:04- Joanne.- Hello.

0:12:04 > 0:12:06This is good news. This is good news.

0:12:06 > 0:12:08- You are in round two.- OK.

0:12:08 > 0:12:11- Now, remind us what you do. - I work for an investment fund.

0:12:11 > 0:12:15And you are a mad keen player of sports.

0:12:15 > 0:12:16I swim a lot.

0:12:16 > 0:12:19Do you swim competitively, or do you just go and...swim?

0:12:19 > 0:12:22Mm...I lived in Switzerland, and I swam across Lake Zurich

0:12:22 > 0:12:25and that was competitive. Erm... Yeah. They do it every summer.

0:12:25 > 0:12:27Isn't it massive, Lake Zurich?

0:12:27 > 0:12:29Yeah... But you swim the short bit.

0:12:29 > 0:12:33- You do the width, not the length? Right.- Yeah.- OK. Yeah.

0:12:33 > 0:12:35OK, good. Good.

0:12:35 > 0:12:37Now, then, Joanne, you are on five.

0:12:37 > 0:12:40- It doesn't matter what you score, you're through.- OK.

0:12:40 > 0:12:42But Vicki...how well did she do!

0:12:42 > 0:12:43Do you think you can do better?

0:12:43 > 0:12:46Erm... No. Probably not.

0:12:47 > 0:12:49But, as we are through, I think I'm going to say

0:12:49 > 0:12:51Kimi Raikkonen.

0:12:51 > 0:12:53The other great Fin - Kimi Raikkonen.

0:12:53 > 0:12:56Let's see if it's right. No red line as you are already through,

0:12:56 > 0:13:00but let's see how many people said Kimi Raikkonen.

0:13:02 > 0:13:04Absolutely right.

0:13:06 > 0:13:09Well, we had 5 for Mika Hakkinen.

0:13:09 > 0:13:1111 for Kimi Raikkonen.

0:13:11 > 0:13:13That's a great score. 16 your total.

0:13:15 > 0:13:172007 world champion, also from Finland.

0:13:17 > 0:13:19They nicknamed him The Iceman.

0:13:19 > 0:13:22Cos he used have an ice cream van.

0:13:22 > 0:13:24LAUGHTER

0:13:24 > 0:13:27Now, then, Andy. Andy, welcome back.

0:13:27 > 0:13:28Nice to be back.

0:13:28 > 0:13:31Now, in your career, what was the most exciting thing that happened

0:13:31 > 0:13:33in your long career as a firefighter?

0:13:33 > 0:13:37Possibly, when I was subbed out to London's Burning,

0:13:37 > 0:13:42to be a stunt double for the firefighter called Recall.

0:13:43 > 0:13:45How long did you do that for?

0:13:45 > 0:13:46Just a few weeks.

0:13:46 > 0:13:48So you got in all the very hot situations -

0:13:48 > 0:13:51- all the dangerous stuff. - Yes.- Well!

0:13:51 > 0:13:53Now, then, Andy, there you are. You're through, as well.

0:13:53 > 0:13:55This is good news. Good news.

0:13:55 > 0:13:56You're through to Round 2.

0:13:56 > 0:14:00You're on nine. What are you going to go for?

0:14:00 > 0:14:03Well, I thought about playing it safe, until I was helped along.

0:14:03 > 0:14:06And now I am going to go for a pointless answer,

0:14:06 > 0:14:07and go for Jochen Rindt.

0:14:09 > 0:14:10Oh, yes, Jochen Rindt!

0:14:10 > 0:14:13- I've no idea what I'm talking about. - LAUGHTER

0:14:13 > 0:14:14Jochen Rindt!

0:14:14 > 0:14:16OK, let's see if that is right.

0:14:16 > 0:14:18No red line for you, you're already through.

0:14:18 > 0:14:21Jochen Rindt. How many people said it?

0:14:24 > 0:14:25It's absolutely right.

0:14:31 > 0:14:33It is a pointless answer!

0:14:33 > 0:14:35Very, very well done indeed, Andy.

0:14:35 > 0:14:38That adds £250 to today's jackpot -

0:14:38 > 0:14:41takes the total up to £5,250.

0:14:41 > 0:14:44It scores you absolutely nothing, and leaves your total at nine.

0:14:44 > 0:14:46Very well done. Jochen Rindt.

0:14:46 > 0:14:48Terrific work, Andy. He's Austrian.

0:14:48 > 0:14:50He was born in Germany, but Austrian.

0:14:50 > 0:14:52He was awarded the title posthumously.

0:14:52 > 0:14:54He is actually quite often on these Formula One questions.

0:14:54 > 0:14:57- Very good answer. - There we are. Now, then...

0:14:57 > 0:14:58Martin.

0:14:58 > 0:15:00Hello.

0:15:00 > 0:15:02Martin, again, great news.

0:15:02 > 0:15:03You are in Round 2.

0:15:03 > 0:15:04Martin, what do you do?

0:15:04 > 0:15:07I work in food sales and marketing.

0:15:07 > 0:15:09That sounds fun. What kind of food?

0:15:09 > 0:15:12Italian cheese and cakes and flapjacks.

0:15:16 > 0:15:19We have just kicked a goal, haven't we?

0:15:20 > 0:15:22I love... I love all of those things.

0:15:22 > 0:15:24I cannot WAIT to see what you've brought!

0:15:24 > 0:15:29- It's in the dressing room.- OK. What have you got - some pecorino?

0:15:29 > 0:15:31- Lovely.- Yeah. Some dolcelatte? - Parmigiana.- Parmigiana.

0:15:31 > 0:15:33Because Gary brought us a floor,

0:15:33 > 0:15:35so I hope you brought us some cheese.

0:15:37 > 0:15:39Very good. And cakes and flapjacks.

0:15:39 > 0:15:42Yeah. Yeah. To major retailers, I sell them.

0:15:42 > 0:15:43Very good.

0:15:43 > 0:15:46Anyway, there we are, you're on 12 - doesn't matter what you score.

0:15:46 > 0:15:48- What are you going to go for? - Erm...

0:15:48 > 0:15:50Not a strong subject for me so...

0:15:52 > 0:15:54James Hunt?

0:15:54 > 0:15:56- James Hunt.- Why not?

0:15:56 > 0:15:58Seems fair enough. James Hunt.

0:15:58 > 0:16:00Let's see how many people said James Hunt.

0:16:00 > 0:16:02No red line for you, you're already through.

0:16:05 > 0:16:06Absolutely right.

0:16:11 > 0:16:1217.

0:16:12 > 0:16:14Not a bad score for James Hunt there.

0:16:14 > 0:16:16Takes your total up to 29.

0:16:18 > 0:16:191976 world champion James Hunt.

0:16:19 > 0:16:22And the recent film Rush was about Niki Lauda and James Hunt.

0:16:22 > 0:16:24Terrific film, as well. If you've not seen it.

0:16:24 > 0:16:27Before we do the pointless answers, a few low scorers.

0:16:27 > 0:16:29Jackie Stewart would have scored you 12,

0:16:29 > 0:16:31you'd have got ten for Alain Prost, four for Jim Clark,

0:16:31 > 0:16:33but here is the pointless answers.

0:16:33 > 0:16:36No-one between four and zero, funnily enough.

0:16:36 > 0:16:38Alberto Askari, one of the very early world champions.

0:16:38 > 0:16:41Jochen Rindt. John Surtees.

0:16:44 > 0:16:45Keke Rosberg another Fin.

0:16:45 > 0:16:47Mike Hawthorne who just pipped Stirling Moss,

0:16:47 > 0:16:50and Nino Farina - all of those were pointless answers.

0:16:53 > 0:16:55Let's take a look at the top three scorers.

0:17:03 > 0:17:05Thanks very much indeed, Richard.

0:17:05 > 0:17:08So, after our first round, the pair heading home on a high score of 135,

0:17:08 > 0:17:10I'm afraid it's Mike and Stu.

0:17:10 > 0:17:13Yep. Vettel was a very high score, wasn't it?

0:17:13 > 0:17:16Suddenly, in a context of really low scores, suddenly that stuck out.

0:17:16 > 0:17:19Yeah. Oh, well, listen, we will see you again next time.

0:17:19 > 0:17:20Look forward to that very much indeed.

0:17:20 > 0:17:22Mike and Stu, thanks very much for playing.

0:17:22 > 0:17:25APPLAUSE

0:17:25 > 0:17:28So, for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round 2.

0:17:33 > 0:17:34OK, so three pairs remain.

0:17:34 > 0:17:37Obviously, at the end of this round, we'll say goodbye to another pair.

0:17:37 > 0:17:39Well, Martin, Gary, well done.

0:17:39 > 0:17:41Nice solid play there from you.

0:17:41 > 0:17:43Our only newcomers left in the game.

0:17:43 > 0:17:44Andy and Norman...

0:17:44 > 0:17:47Lovely, Jochen Rindt...! Excellent!

0:17:47 > 0:17:50Excellent pointless answering there.

0:17:50 > 0:17:52And Vicki and Joanne, well done.

0:17:52 > 0:17:54Great low scoring from you, and Vicki,

0:17:54 > 0:17:56great to have you off the mark there. Well done.

0:17:56 > 0:17:59Best of luck to all of three pairs. Our category for Round 2 today is...

0:18:03 > 0:18:07Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who second.

0:18:07 > 0:18:10And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.

0:18:12 > 0:18:14OK, and the question concerns...

0:18:19 > 0:18:20Richard?

0:18:20 > 0:18:22We'll show the titles of six works on each pass,

0:18:22 > 0:18:24all written by Nobel prize winners,

0:18:24 > 0:18:26but we've missed out one word from each of the titles.

0:18:26 > 0:18:28Can you fill in that gap, please?

0:18:28 > 0:18:31There will be six on each board, 12 in all, so have a go at home.

0:18:31 > 0:18:32Good luck.

0:18:32 > 0:18:35OK, we're looking for the words that complete these book titles,

0:18:35 > 0:18:37and here they are.

0:18:37 > 0:18:39HE READS THEM ALOUD

0:18:49 > 0:18:51I'll read them one last time.

0:19:03 > 0:19:04There we are.

0:19:04 > 0:19:06Martin, it's over to you.

0:19:06 > 0:19:09I don't like this round!

0:19:09 > 0:19:12I should know a couple and I've just gone blank.

0:19:12 > 0:19:16It's not a strong round for me, anyway.

0:19:16 > 0:19:20I went "blank" on every single one, when I read them out.

0:19:20 > 0:19:23LAUGHTER

0:19:25 > 0:19:27Erm...

0:19:29 > 0:19:31I'll go for the bottom one and Fire.

0:19:31 > 0:19:33The Fire And The Fury, says Martin.

0:19:33 > 0:19:34Let's see if that's right.

0:19:34 > 0:19:37Let's see how many people said The Fire And The Fury.

0:19:40 > 0:19:42Oh, I'm sorry, Martin.

0:19:42 > 0:19:44I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer - scores 100 points.

0:19:44 > 0:19:46Sorry, Martin. Good name for a book, though.

0:19:46 > 0:19:49I'll give the correct answer at the end of the pass.

0:19:49 > 0:19:51Thanks very much. Now, Andy.

0:19:51 > 0:19:54So, what are the missing words from these titles?

0:19:54 > 0:19:57I think I'll go for the Steinbeck

0:19:57 > 0:19:59and Of Mice And Men.

0:19:59 > 0:20:00Of Mice And Men, says Andy.

0:20:00 > 0:20:03Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said it.

0:20:05 > 0:20:06It is right, of course.

0:20:06 > 0:20:0887 people said that.

0:20:08 > 0:20:13APPLAUSE

0:20:13 > 0:20:16Well played to our 100 people there -

0:20:16 > 0:20:17Of Mice And Men.

0:20:17 > 0:20:20Now, Vicki. This board is all yours.

0:20:20 > 0:20:24Tell us as many things on it as you care to.

0:20:25 > 0:20:27I wish I could.

0:20:27 > 0:20:29I know the top one, I think.

0:20:29 > 0:20:31You can talk through all of them. You can say any of them.

0:20:31 > 0:20:35I think it might be Death In Venice, but I'm not sure.

0:20:35 > 0:20:37I don't know the others. I knew Of Mice And Men.

0:20:37 > 0:20:40But I'm going to go for The Old Man And The Sea.

0:20:40 > 0:20:41The Old Man And The Sea, says Vicki.

0:20:41 > 0:20:44Let's see if that's right. And let's see how many people said it.

0:20:46 > 0:20:48It's absolutely right.

0:20:48 > 0:20:51Well, this is going to be a low score, whatever it is.

0:20:51 > 0:20:5331.

0:20:53 > 0:20:57APPLAUSE

0:20:59 > 0:21:00Well played, Vicki. Safe and sound.

0:21:00 > 0:21:03Actually, you'd have done better with Death In Venice -

0:21:03 > 0:21:06you're quite right - by Thomas Mann. It would've scored you 19 points.

0:21:07 > 0:21:10- I bet you can fill in this board, can't you?- I think I can.

0:21:10 > 0:21:13- George Bernard Shaw? - Man And Superman.- Yep.

0:21:13 > 0:21:14That would have scored you...

0:21:18 > 0:21:20- Long Day's Journey Into... - Night.

0:21:20 > 0:21:21Yep. Eugene O'Neill.

0:21:23 > 0:21:26- And the best answer on the board..? - The Sound.

0:21:28 > 0:21:30Well done if you went through that board.

0:21:30 > 0:21:32Very impressive.

0:21:32 > 0:21:34Thanks very much. We're halfway through the round.

0:21:34 > 0:21:37Let's take a look at those scores. 31, the best of that pass.

0:21:37 > 0:21:39Well done, Vikki. By quite a long way.

0:21:39 > 0:21:44Joanne, you're on easy street, thanks to Vikki's excellent answering there.

0:21:44 > 0:21:47Then up to 87, where we find Andy and Norm. Then up to 100.

0:21:47 > 0:21:51Not that far ahead. Martin and Gary. Gary, how good's your literature?

0:21:51 > 0:21:53Reasonable.

0:21:53 > 0:21:56You might be able to claw it back here. Best of luck.

0:21:56 > 0:21:59Can the second players please step up to the podium?

0:22:02 > 0:22:05OK, let's put six more literary works on the board

0:22:05 > 0:22:07and here they come:

0:22:22 > 0:22:24I'll read those all again.

0:22:40 > 0:22:42Joanne. You're on 31.

0:22:42 > 0:22:45The high scorers, Gary and Martin, on 100,

0:22:45 > 0:22:48which means 68 or less sees you through.

0:22:48 > 0:22:50OK.

0:22:50 > 0:22:52How does that board look to you?

0:22:52 > 0:22:54It's not great.

0:22:54 > 0:22:58I think I know one and the rest have gone out of my head.

0:22:58 > 0:23:03I think I'm going to have to go for Beckett - Waiting for Godot.

0:23:03 > 0:23:06Waiting for Godot. Let's see if that's right.

0:23:06 > 0:23:11Let's see how many people said it. There's your red line.

0:23:11 > 0:23:12It's right

0:23:12 > 0:23:15and you are through. Very well done indeed.

0:23:15 > 0:23:18- 39. - APPLAUSE

0:23:18 > 0:23:2170 is your total.

0:23:21 > 0:23:24Yeah, safe and sound. Won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1969.

0:23:24 > 0:23:27Didn't go and collect it though cos he didn't really like doing

0:23:27 > 0:23:30public speaking or mixing with the public.

0:23:30 > 0:23:32Got it through the post.

0:23:32 > 0:23:37He was actually out at the shops, so it went to the local depot.

0:23:37 > 0:23:38Actually...

0:23:38 > 0:23:41he discovered sometime after it that he had actually

0:23:41 > 0:23:45been in all the time. They put the postcard through his door, saying,

0:23:45 > 0:23:48"We called with your Nobel Peace Prize..."

0:23:48 > 0:23:52- He won the Nobel Peace Prize as well? - Sorry!

0:23:52 > 0:23:55Blimey! This guy's got two of them?

0:23:55 > 0:24:00Yeah. Anyway. There we are. Now, Norm.

0:24:00 > 0:24:03- HE CHUCKLES - Yeah.

0:24:03 > 0:24:06How's the board, Norm?

0:24:06 > 0:24:11Yeah, not good for me either. So I'm going to take a guess.

0:24:11 > 0:24:17And I'll go for Kipling - Just So Stories For Little People.

0:24:17 > 0:24:21For Little People. OK. Let's see if that's right. There's your red line.

0:24:21 > 0:24:22It's quite low,

0:24:22 > 0:24:26but let's see if Just So Stories For Little People is right.

0:24:28 > 0:24:30Oh.

0:24:30 > 0:24:36I'm sorry, Norm. That's an incorrect answer, takes your total up to 187.

0:24:36 > 0:24:40It's a nice answer, Norm, but it's not a right answer, I'm afraid.

0:24:40 > 0:24:42LAUGHTER

0:24:42 > 0:24:46- Now then, Gary. You've been hurled a lifeline there.- Yes.

0:24:46 > 0:24:49Waiting for Godot, I knew.

0:24:49 > 0:24:53But the only other one that I've got a chance of, I think,

0:24:53 > 0:24:56might be Love In The Time Of Cholera.

0:24:56 > 0:24:59Love In The Time Of Cholera, the Marquez book.

0:24:59 > 0:25:02Let's see if that's right. There's your red line.

0:25:02 > 0:25:05If you get below that, you're in the head-to-head.

0:25:05 > 0:25:08Cholera. Is that right? How many people said it?

0:25:09 > 0:25:13It's absolutely right. Very well done, Gary.

0:25:13 > 0:25:16I think this might be rather a good answer.

0:25:16 > 0:25:19Yup. There we go. 12. Look at that. 112, your total.

0:25:19 > 0:25:21APPLAUSE

0:25:24 > 0:25:28Very well played, Gary. By Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

0:25:28 > 0:25:33Let's fill in the rest of these. Any there you don't know?

0:25:33 > 0:25:37- The top one is tough.- The Lessing, I don't know.- The Golden Notebook.

0:25:37 > 0:25:40Four points. She won the Nobel Prize in her late 80s.

0:25:40 > 0:25:43The oldest person ever to win it.

0:25:43 > 0:25:48- One...- Sorry, One Day. - One Day, Solzhenitsyn.

0:25:48 > 0:25:49would have scored you 34.

0:25:49 > 0:25:54- Accidental.- Accidental Death of an Anarchist, Dario Fo.

0:25:54 > 0:25:56Would have scored you six points.

0:25:56 > 0:26:00It's not Just So Stories For Little People. Not a million miles away.

0:26:00 > 0:26:03- Children.- It's Children, yes. Children.

0:26:03 > 0:26:06And that would have scored you eight points as well.

0:26:06 > 0:26:09- Would have seen you through. - Thanks very much indeed.

0:26:09 > 0:26:14At the end of our second round, the pair heading home with 187,

0:26:14 > 0:26:16it's Norm and Andy.

0:26:16 > 0:26:19- I'm sorry.- So are we.- I'm sorry we have to say goodbye so soon.

0:26:19 > 0:26:22Thanks so much for playing. Norm and Andy.

0:26:22 > 0:26:23APPLAUSE

0:26:23 > 0:26:26But for Vikki and Joanne, Martin and Gary,

0:26:26 > 0:26:29- it's now time for our head-to-head. - APPLAUSE

0:26:31 > 0:26:34Congratulations, Joanne and Vikki, Martin and Gary.

0:26:34 > 0:26:36You are one step closer to the final

0:26:36 > 0:26:41and a chance to play for our jackpot, which currently stands at:

0:26:41 > 0:26:44CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

0:26:44 > 0:26:48So, now, we have to decide who is going to play for that money

0:26:48 > 0:26:52and to do that, you are now going to go head-to-head. You can now confer.

0:26:52 > 0:26:55First pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.

0:26:55 > 0:26:59Joanne and Vikki, very well done.

0:26:59 > 0:27:03Not such a good performance last time, this time faultless.

0:27:03 > 0:27:08Lovely answering in that last round. Martin and Gary... Ooh, Martin.

0:27:08 > 0:27:10Fire nearly did for you.

0:27:10 > 0:27:13Gary brought it back. Very, very well done.

0:27:13 > 0:27:15Love In The Time Of Cholera.

0:27:15 > 0:27:19I think this is going to be a great head-to-head. Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play it.

0:27:19 > 0:27:22APPLAUSE

0:27:24 > 0:27:28OK, here comes your first question and it concerns:

0:27:31 > 0:27:35- Bond theme artists. Richard. - Going to show you five pictures now of artists who've recorded

0:27:35 > 0:27:37Bond themes. Can you name the most obscure?

0:27:37 > 0:27:41OK, let's reveal our five Bond theme artists and here they come.

0:27:41 > 0:27:43We have got:

0:28:01 > 0:28:05There we are. Five Bond theme artists.

0:28:05 > 0:28:07Vikki and Joanne, you will go first.

0:28:11 > 0:28:13THEY WHISPER

0:28:13 > 0:28:15No, he hasn't done one.

0:28:15 > 0:28:18We know all the other artists.

0:28:18 > 0:28:20Go on, go for it.

0:28:22 > 0:28:28We know all of them. We're going to say D, Chris Cornell.

0:28:28 > 0:28:31Chris Cornell for D.

0:28:31 > 0:28:34Chris Cornell. Now then, Martin and Gary, the board is all yours.

0:28:36 > 0:28:40- We think A - Lulu, yeah?- Yeah.

0:28:40 > 0:28:43Jack White. C is Sheena Easton.

0:28:43 > 0:28:45And E is Sheryl Crow, do you think?

0:28:45 > 0:28:47Yeah. Um...

0:28:47 > 0:28:49We're pretty sure their answer's right,

0:28:49 > 0:28:52so we're going to go for B - Jack White.

0:28:52 > 0:28:55B - Jack White. So we have Chris Cornell and Jack White.

0:28:55 > 0:28:58Vikki and Joanne, you said Chris Cornell.

0:28:58 > 0:29:01Let's see if it's right and if it is, how many people said it.

0:29:03 > 0:29:04It's right.

0:29:08 > 0:29:11Oh, that's a good answer. Look at that, well done!

0:29:13 > 0:29:14Brilliant answer, 1.

0:29:19 > 0:29:23Now then, Martin and Gary, you have gone for B

0:29:23 > 0:29:25and you have said Jack White. Let's see if that's right and,

0:29:25 > 0:29:28if it is, how many of 100 people said Jack White.

0:29:31 > 0:29:33It's right.

0:29:33 > 0:29:37It's going to have to be pointless to beat Chris Cornell.

0:29:37 > 0:29:39Oh, it's a good score. 12.

0:29:42 > 0:29:44But I'm afraid it's not quite good enough.

0:29:44 > 0:29:47Joanne and Vikki, after one question you are up 1-0.

0:29:47 > 0:29:50Best two answers on the board there, so well played, both teams.

0:29:50 > 0:29:53Yes, Chris Cornell did You Know My Name from Casino Royale.

0:29:53 > 0:29:55And Jack White did Another Way To Die

0:29:55 > 0:29:58with Alicia Keys for Quantum Of Solace.

0:29:58 > 0:29:59A, you're right, was Lulu.

0:30:04 > 0:30:06Sheena Easton in For Your Eyes Only.

0:30:09 > 0:30:12And Sheryl Crow, who did Tomorrow Never Dies.

0:30:14 > 0:30:16Well played from both teams there.

0:30:16 > 0:30:20Very good. Thank you, Richard. Now, here comes your second question.

0:30:20 > 0:30:23Martin and Gary, you will get to answer first but you have to win it

0:30:23 > 0:30:26to stay in the game. Best of luck. It concerns...

0:30:31 > 0:30:33Items a doctor might use.

0:30:33 > 0:30:37We're going to show you five items a doctor might use, in anagram form.

0:30:37 > 0:30:40Can you unscramble them and give us the most obscure answer?

0:30:40 > 0:30:43I assume that's items he or she would use in their professional lives,

0:30:43 > 0:30:45rather than just...at home.

0:30:45 > 0:30:47Otherwise, it could be anything.

0:30:47 > 0:30:49We will discover.

0:30:49 > 0:30:55Let's reveal our five items a doctor might use. And here they are.

0:31:03 > 0:31:04I'll read those again.

0:31:12 > 0:31:14Martin and Gary, you will go first.

0:31:16 > 0:31:19THEY WHISPER

0:31:31 > 0:31:34THEY MUTTER

0:31:39 > 0:31:41We're going to go with "syringe."

0:31:41 > 0:31:45OK, syringe. "Yes grin."

0:31:45 > 0:31:49OK, Vikki and Joanne.

0:31:49 > 0:31:52Do you want to talk us through the board, if you can?

0:31:52 > 0:31:56We've never heard of it but we think the top one is auriscope.

0:31:56 > 0:31:59Then... What did I say?

0:31:59 > 0:32:02Forceps.

0:32:02 > 0:32:05Syringe, stethoscope, thermometer.

0:32:05 > 0:32:07What shall we go for?

0:32:07 > 0:32:09Auriscope.

0:32:09 > 0:32:12- For the top one.- OK, auriscope.

0:32:12 > 0:32:16Auriscope. So we have syringe and auriscope.

0:32:16 > 0:32:18Martin and Gary have gone for syringe.

0:32:18 > 0:32:23Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said syringe.

0:32:25 > 0:32:26It's right.

0:32:31 > 0:32:3316.

0:32:35 > 0:32:41That is a good, low score and it is absolutely safe.

0:32:41 > 0:32:45Joanne and Vikki, you've taken a massive step into the unknown.

0:32:45 > 0:32:48Have you ever heard of an auriscope?

0:32:48 > 0:32:54- No.- "Auri" is to do with the ear and Vikki got "scope" so we just...

0:32:54 > 0:32:55Live on the edge.

0:32:57 > 0:32:59That is gutsy, I have to say.

0:32:59 > 0:33:02Let's find out. If it's right, I suspect it'll be amazing.

0:33:02 > 0:33:04But let's find out. Auriscope, is that right?

0:33:04 > 0:33:06How many people said it if it is?

0:33:09 > 0:33:11It is right! Very well done.

0:33:13 > 0:33:16Is it going to be at 16? I think it just might - it does!

0:33:16 > 0:33:18It's another 1!

0:33:22 > 0:33:25That is how you play the head-to-head.

0:33:25 > 0:33:27My goodness. Two 1s in a row.

0:33:27 > 0:33:30Joanne and Vikki, after only two questions,

0:33:30 > 0:33:32you are through to the final, 2-0.

0:33:32 > 0:33:35That might be the lowest score we've ever had in a head-to-head.

0:33:35 > 0:33:36Two points across two questions.

0:33:36 > 0:33:39The two best possible answers as well.

0:33:39 > 0:33:40How do you feel, guys?

0:33:40 > 0:33:43Steamrollered? We've been beaten by the better couple.

0:33:43 > 0:33:46That was terrific and a brilliant risk to take.

0:33:46 > 0:33:49You worked out the "scope" bit. It couldn't be anything else.

0:33:49 > 0:33:53I suspect most pairs would not have gone for that, so very well done.

0:33:53 > 0:33:56You're right about the others. It's forceps.

0:33:59 > 0:34:02"Scoot eh pest" is stethoscope.

0:34:04 > 0:34:06And it's thermometer.

0:34:09 > 0:34:12Auriscope is the only answer that would have won you the point there.

0:34:12 > 0:34:14Thanks very much.

0:34:14 > 0:34:19The pair leaving us, Martin and Gary, you didn't do badly at all.

0:34:19 > 0:34:22You scored a 12 and a 16. Normally, they'd be winning scores

0:34:22 > 0:34:24but you were just beaten by Vikki and Joanne.

0:34:24 > 0:34:27Incredible scoring there. We will see you again next time.

0:34:27 > 0:34:30That's the good news, we get to see you twice.

0:34:30 > 0:34:32Thanks very much for playing. Martin and Gary.

0:34:32 > 0:34:35APPLAUSE

0:34:35 > 0:34:38For Vikki and Joanne, it's now time for our Pointless Final.

0:34:43 > 0:34:46Congratulations, Vikki and Joanne, you've seen off the competition

0:34:46 > 0:34:49and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.

0:34:55 > 0:34:58You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot

0:34:58 > 0:35:00and at the end of today's show the jackpot stands at...

0:35:05 > 0:35:07What a performance.

0:35:07 > 0:35:11Absolutely staggering. That head-to-head round, as Richard said,

0:35:11 > 0:35:14we've never had such low scores. But actually you've done very well

0:35:14 > 0:35:18throughout the show. That was quite tough, the Nobel Literature board.

0:35:18 > 0:35:20But you came through that as well.

0:35:20 > 0:35:23What would you like to see come up in the last round?

0:35:23 > 0:35:24Music.

0:35:24 > 0:35:27- But it depends what it is.- Yeah.

0:35:27 > 0:35:30- Kings and queens. - OK, best of luck.

0:35:30 > 0:35:34You get to choose your category from these four options.

0:35:43 > 0:35:47We definitely won't go for Moons of the Solar System.

0:35:47 > 0:35:48It's a great band.

0:35:48 > 0:35:50LAUGHTER

0:35:50 > 0:35:53My husband's a huge Man United fan.

0:35:53 > 0:35:56He'd want us to pick that, wouldn't he?

0:35:56 > 0:36:00I don't think... I mean, we could have a crack at that.

0:36:00 > 0:36:04- I don't know about Manchester United teams.- Well, you decide.

0:36:04 > 0:36:061979?

0:36:06 > 0:36:08- It's the only one, isn't it? - Go on, 1979.

0:36:08 > 0:36:11- OK, 1979.- Three very different options here.

0:36:11 > 0:36:14I hope one of these suits you. We are looking for...

0:36:14 > 0:36:18the name of any track on the original release of The Clash's

0:36:18 > 0:36:20London Calling, which came out in 1979,

0:36:20 > 0:36:24any player who played or came on as substitute in the 1979

0:36:24 > 0:36:27FA Cup Final between Arsenal and Manchester United,

0:36:27 > 0:36:32anybody credited in the cast of Life of Brian, which came out in 1979.

0:36:32 > 0:36:34So, any tracks on London Calling,

0:36:34 > 0:36:37any FA Cup Final players between Man United and Arsenal,

0:36:37 > 0:36:41or any of the cast of Life Of Brian. Very, very best of luck.

0:36:41 > 0:36:42OK, thanks very much.

0:36:42 > 0:36:46You've got up to one minute to come up with three answers

0:36:46 > 0:36:49and all you need to win that jackpot - £5,250 -

0:36:49 > 0:36:52is for just one of those answers to be pointless.

0:36:52 > 0:36:55The answers you give can come from any of these categories

0:36:55 > 0:36:58and how you spread them across the categories is entirely down to you.

0:36:58 > 0:37:01They could all be Life Of Brian, all tracks from London Calling,

0:37:01 > 0:37:05or one from each. It's entirely up to you. Are you ready?

0:37:05 > 0:37:08- Yes.- OK, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.

0:37:08 > 0:37:10Your time starts now.

0:37:11 > 0:37:15Forget the first one. What about FA Cup? It's Arsenal and Man United.

0:37:15 > 0:37:18What's...? Pat whatshisname.

0:37:18 > 0:37:21- Played for Arsenal around that time. - Yeah.

0:37:22 > 0:37:25Pat...

0:37:25 > 0:37:27Pat Holland?

0:37:27 > 0:37:29- Might be.- Wasn't he West Ham?

0:37:31 > 0:37:33Oh...

0:37:33 > 0:37:35Life Of Brian.

0:37:35 > 0:37:37Well...

0:37:37 > 0:37:39Just the usual cast I know.

0:37:42 > 0:37:44Say someone cos I've not even seen it.

0:37:46 > 0:37:49John Cleese. Erm...

0:37:49 > 0:37:52Could George Graham have been playing for Arsenal at that time?

0:37:52 > 0:37:55- Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's say George Graham.- OK.

0:37:58 > 0:38:02- Let's say...- Ten seconds left.

0:38:02 > 0:38:03John Cleese...

0:38:03 > 0:38:05and...

0:38:10 > 0:38:13OK, that, I'm afraid, is your time up.

0:38:13 > 0:38:17I now need your three answers. What are you going to say?

0:38:17 > 0:38:20- We're going to say George Graham for the FA Cup.- George Graham.

0:38:20 > 0:38:22The Arsenal player.

0:38:22 > 0:38:24And...

0:38:24 > 0:38:27we know they're not pointless...

0:38:27 > 0:38:30- ..John Cleese... - John Cleese.

0:38:30 > 0:38:32- And...- Eric Idle, is he in it?

0:38:32 > 0:38:34- Yeah. Eric Idle.- Eric Idle.

0:38:34 > 0:38:37Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?

0:38:37 > 0:38:40- BOTH: George Graham.- We'll put last. Least likely to be pointless?

0:38:40 > 0:38:43- John Cleese.- We'll put Eric Idle in the middle.

0:38:43 > 0:38:47OK, let's pop those up on the board in that order and here they are.

0:38:52 > 0:38:54Well, very, very best of luck.

0:38:54 > 0:38:58Three...who knows, maybe correct,

0:38:58 > 0:39:01maybe low scoring answers up there.

0:39:01 > 0:39:04Maybe one of those will be pointless.

0:39:04 > 0:39:06If it is, you'll win £5,250.

0:39:06 > 0:39:08What would you do with that, Vikki?

0:39:08 > 0:39:13The children have been on about buying a dog, so...

0:39:13 > 0:39:14That's quite a dog!

0:39:14 > 0:39:17- A little dog.- OK. A little dog, OK.

0:39:17 > 0:39:19- Joanne?- Erm...

0:39:19 > 0:39:22I used to live in Hong Kong. My son was born there.

0:39:22 > 0:39:25Never been back, so I'd like to put that towards going back.

0:39:25 > 0:39:27OK, now then.

0:39:27 > 0:39:29Your first answer was John Cleese.

0:39:29 > 0:39:32We were looking for cast members from the Life Of Brian.

0:39:32 > 0:39:35This has to be correct, then it has to be pointless for you to win

0:39:35 > 0:39:37that jackpot. So, for £5,250,

0:39:37 > 0:39:40let's see how many people said John Cleese.

0:39:42 > 0:39:43It's right.

0:39:45 > 0:39:46It now has to...

0:39:46 > 0:39:47Oh! 71.

0:39:47 > 0:39:51APPLAUSE

0:39:51 > 0:39:54OK, not a pointless answer.

0:39:54 > 0:39:59OK, let's hope nobody said your next answer, which was Eric Idle.

0:39:59 > 0:40:02Has to be right, has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot.

0:40:02 > 0:40:04For £,250, let's find out -

0:40:04 > 0:40:07is Eric Idle pointless?

0:40:09 > 0:40:10It's right.

0:40:10 > 0:40:14John Cleese took us to 71.

0:40:14 > 0:40:16Eric Idle passes that.

0:40:16 > 0:40:19Down he goes, through the 40s, through the 30s, through the 20s...

0:40:19 > 0:40:2122.

0:40:21 > 0:40:22APPLAUSE

0:40:26 > 0:40:28It's so hard.

0:40:28 > 0:40:30Life Of Brian cast members who aren't part of the original

0:40:30 > 0:40:33Monty Python team, it's very hard to think of.

0:40:33 > 0:40:35Anyway, not pointless.

0:40:35 > 0:40:38Everything is now riding on your third and final answer,

0:40:38 > 0:40:40which is the one you were most confident in.

0:40:40 > 0:40:43George Graham. In this case we were looking for people who

0:40:43 > 0:40:45played in the FA Cup Final in 1979.

0:40:45 > 0:40:48Let's find out if that's right. If it's pointless it'll win you £5,250.

0:40:48 > 0:40:51Is George Graham pointless?

0:40:54 > 0:40:56Oh, no! Bad luck.

0:40:59 > 0:41:01I'm sorry.

0:41:01 > 0:41:04That was a good guess. Unfortunately, you didn't manage

0:41:04 > 0:41:08to find that all important pointless answer, so I'm afraid you don't win

0:41:08 > 0:41:11today's jackpot of £5,250. That will roll over onto the next show.

0:41:11 > 0:41:14But you have been astonishing right across the show.

0:41:14 > 0:41:16And that head-to-head round has gone into Pointless history,

0:41:16 > 0:41:20so very, very well done indeed. And you get a Pointless trophy each.

0:41:20 > 0:41:22- That's what we came for. - Good, well done.

0:41:22 > 0:41:24APPLAUSE

0:41:27 > 0:41:29Very well played.

0:41:29 > 0:41:34George Graham left Arsenal in 1972 and retired in 1978, I think.

0:41:34 > 0:41:36Later went on to be Arsenal manager, of course.

0:41:36 > 0:41:40But let's look at the pointless answers in the different categories.

0:41:44 > 0:41:48If you know this album you'll have done very well.

0:41:48 > 0:41:51Also could have had Four Horsemen, I'm Not Down, Revolution Rock,

0:41:51 > 0:41:54The Card Cheat and The Right Profile. All of those pointless.

0:41:54 > 0:41:56Well done if you said one of those.

0:41:58 > 0:41:59I said Pat!

0:41:59 > 0:42:02That's not the Pat you were thinking of, I don't think.

0:42:02 > 0:42:04That was the Pat I was thinking of.

0:42:04 > 0:42:06- Oh, I thought you were thinking of Pat Rice.- No, no, no.

0:42:06 > 0:42:08Oh, cos he was pointless, as well.

0:42:08 > 0:42:10LAUGHTER

0:42:13 > 0:42:17You also could have had Arthur Albiston, David Price, Gary Bailey,

0:42:17 > 0:42:21Graham Rix, Martin Buchan, Mickey Thomas, Pat Rice, Sammy Nelson

0:42:21 > 0:42:24and Steve Walford. Very well done if you said one of those.

0:42:24 > 0:42:27Let's take a look at Life Of Brian actors.

0:42:27 > 0:42:30Very tough. All the Pythons obviously scored points.

0:42:35 > 0:42:38Very well done if you said any of those at home.

0:42:38 > 0:42:40Congratulations, especially on that head-to-head.
