0:00:13 > 0:00:14APPLAUSE
0:00:22 > 0:00:23Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong, and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:26 > 0:00:28the show where the aim of the game is to score as few
0:00:28 > 0:00:31points as you can, and you do that by coming up with the answers
0:00:31 > 0:00:33that no-one else could think of. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41- And couple number one. - Hi, I'm Peter, I'm from Warwick.
0:00:41 > 0:00:45This is my daughter-in-law, Louise. Louise is from Solihull.
0:00:45 > 0:00:46Couple number two.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Hi, I'm Richard, this is my work colleague, Katie,
0:00:49 > 0:00:51- and we're from West Yorkshire. - Couple number three.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Stuart, this is my fiancee, Sarah,
0:00:53 > 0:00:55and we're from Buxton in Derbyshire.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57And finally, couple number four.
0:00:57 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Steve, I'm from Shefford.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01This is my cousin, Lindsey, and she's from Deanshanger.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03And these are today's contestants.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07Thanks very much, all of you.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09We'll find out more about throughout the show as it goes along.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12That just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Some people say he's overqualified for this show,
0:01:14 > 0:01:17but it all balances out cos I'm so laughably under-qualified.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22Hiya. Hi, everybody. Hiya.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28- Afternoon.- And to you.- How are you today?- I'm very well.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30One of those rare occasions where we've got four new pairs
0:01:30 > 0:01:33on the show today. It doesn't happen very often.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36- I'm feeling a bit shy.- You're the only person here I know.- Yeah.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39- So, I might hang around with you a little bit during the show.- Do.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42But we'll get to know people a little bit as we go on.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Lovely to have you all here. Looking forward to getting to know you all.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48- It's going to be an awful lot of fun, isn't it?- Isn't it just?
0:01:48 > 0:01:49Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Grant and Matt didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:01:51 > 0:01:53so we add another £1,000 to that.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55So, today's jackpot starts off at...
0:01:59 > 0:02:02Right. If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08Remember, at all times,
0:02:08 > 0:02:11the pair with the highest score at the end of each round will be
0:02:11 > 0:02:14eliminated, so just do what you can to make sure that's not you.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Our first category today is...
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Numbers. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going
0:02:21 > 0:02:22to go first and second?
0:02:23 > 0:02:26And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30OK, and the question concerns...
0:02:35 > 0:02:36Prime numbers. Richard.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38We're going to show you seven clues on each pass,
0:02:38 > 0:02:40the answer to each of which is a prime number.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42There's going to be 14 questions in all,
0:02:42 > 0:02:4414 prime numbers to have a go at at home. Very best of luck.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48Thanks very much indeed. Let's reveal our first board of clues.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Here they are. Seven of them.
0:03:15 > 0:03:16I'll read those all again.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Peter, welcome to Pointless. Great to have you here.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44- What do you do, Peter? - Well, I'm retired now.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47I sort of retired last year and they asked me to go back to work,
0:03:47 > 0:03:49- but I have retired now.- You said, "No." You said, "I shan't."
0:03:49 > 0:03:51HE LAUGHS
0:03:51 > 0:03:54I did. I went back for three months and now I'm fully retired.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58- Then remembered why you'd retired. - Exactly.- So, what work did you do?
0:03:58 > 0:04:00I was in procurement for most of working life,
0:04:00 > 0:04:03- purchasing officer for various organisations.- Very good.
0:04:03 > 0:04:08- Now, Peter. Prime numbers.- Right. - What grabs you on that board?
0:04:08 > 0:04:12I think, I'm hoping, is the hour, day and month
0:04:12 > 0:04:16of the first Armistice. I think I'm going to go for 11.
0:04:16 > 0:04:1811, says Peter. 11.
0:04:18 > 0:04:19Let's see if that's right,
0:04:19 > 0:04:22and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said 11.
0:04:25 > 0:04:26It's right!
0:04:30 > 0:04:3140.
0:04:31 > 0:04:32APPLAUSE
0:04:34 > 0:04:3840 for 11. Oh, it's going to get confusing, this, isn't it?
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Really confusing. There's an awful lot of numbers around.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Yeah, signed up at 5:00am in a railway carriage
0:04:43 > 0:04:45and the war ended six hours later.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48Good. Thank you. OK. Katie, welcome.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51It's good to have you here. What do you do, Katie?
0:04:51 > 0:04:53I'm a communications manager in the NHS.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55And what are your hobbies, Katie?
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Performing in Gilbert and Sullivan operas.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00- How many of them have you been in? - Oh, most of them over the years.
0:05:00 > 0:05:05- But I'm on repeat now, so I'm doing a lot of them again.- Very good.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08OK, now, Katie, prime numbers.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11There are two I definitely know, but I feel I need to have a punt,
0:05:11 > 0:05:16and I'm going for the triskaidekaphobia one,
0:05:16 > 0:05:18which I think is 13.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Triskaidekaphobia. Let's see if that's right. Is it 13?
0:05:20 > 0:05:22If it is, let's see how many people said 13.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27It is 13. Phew!
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Well, 11 scored 14. Let's see what 13 scores.
0:05:30 > 0:05:3137. There we are.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40Apparently, 60% of Britain say they suffer from triskaidekaphobia.
0:05:40 > 0:05:4413 is quite a convenient one to be scared of, cos when you do use 13?
0:05:44 > 0:05:48- Answer? Never, really.- No.- Unless you're a Rugby League fan. That's it.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50LAUGHTER
0:05:50 > 0:05:53- Thank you very much indeed. Sarah. - Yes.- Sarah, welcome.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Great to have you. From Buxton. What do you do, Sarah?
0:05:56 > 0:06:00- I'm a student at the University of York.- How's that going?- Great.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04- What are you studying?- English.- What year are you in?- Just first year.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06- First year.- Yeah.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Sarah, what about this board behind me?
0:06:08 > 0:06:12Erm, I should probably be able to take a good guess
0:06:12 > 0:06:13at the Shakespeare one,
0:06:13 > 0:06:16but I think I'm going to go with the Harry Potter novels
0:06:16 > 0:06:20written by JK Rowling, and I think that's seven.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23Seven, says Sarah. Let's see if that's right for Harry Potter,
0:06:23 > 0:06:25let's see how many people said seven.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30It is right. Very narrow field at the moment, with 40 our high score,
0:06:30 > 0:06:3237 our low.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34You passed 40, you passed 37. 34.
0:06:34 > 0:06:35A new low score.
0:06:36 > 0:06:3734.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Good answer. Seven novels and eight films, of course,
0:06:42 > 0:06:45just to eke out a bit of extra money.
0:06:45 > 0:06:46Exactly right.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48- Steve, welcome.- Hi.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51- Good to have you here, Steve. What do you do?- I'm a childminder.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55Are you? And how many childs do you mind?
0:06:55 > 0:06:57I've got two of my own, and then I have five other kids
0:06:57 > 0:06:59that I look after during the week.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03And what do you do in your... Do you get spare time, as a childminder?
0:07:03 > 0:07:06There's not a lot, there's not a lot. I like to go for a run.
0:07:06 > 0:07:10- I like to sing, I'm in a band. - Very good. What sort of band is it?
0:07:10 > 0:07:13- We're a party band. We do cheesy cover versions.- Perfect.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16I wear spandex in the band.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18- I didn't need to know that, but that's... - LAUGHTER
0:07:18 > 0:07:20It's all helpful, Steve.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24It's all helpful for the second show, when you come back, eh?
0:07:24 > 0:07:26We'll go, "Ah, Stevie Spandex is back!" LAUGHTER
0:07:26 > 0:07:29"I see you've brought your trousers, Steve," we'll say!
0:07:29 > 0:07:31And the newcomers will both go, "We don't know this."
0:07:31 > 0:07:34"Stevie who?" Stevie Spandex!
0:07:34 > 0:07:36- The Spand-Meister!- Yeah.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Hey, Spando!
0:07:39 > 0:07:40- LAUGHTER - Yeah.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43Spando Ballet, we call him. LAUGHTER
0:07:43 > 0:07:46Steve, you're the last person to have this board.
0:07:46 > 0:07:47Do you fancy talking us through it?
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Year of the 20th century
0:07:49 > 0:07:52that Margaret Thatcher came to power was 1979.
0:07:52 > 0:07:53The code for Australia?
0:07:53 > 0:07:56I know we're 41, I'm going to put them at the bottom of the world
0:07:56 > 0:07:58and say they're 61, or something.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01I think the answer I'm going to go for, just to be safe,
0:08:01 > 0:08:03is the top one. 1979.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06OK, '79, says Steve.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said '79.
0:08:12 > 0:08:13It's right.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20- Look at that! - APPLAUSE
0:08:21 > 0:08:23The best score of the round, Steve.
0:08:25 > 0:08:2610.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Spando!
0:08:28 > 0:08:29Spando!
0:08:29 > 0:08:32That's good work. '79, that's a low score.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Let's take a look at the rest of these...
0:08:36 > 0:08:39And it's a pointless answer, so very well done if you said that.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41That is Ryan Adams, not Bryan Adams.
0:08:41 > 0:08:42Do you think Bryan Adams was quite cross
0:08:42 > 0:08:44when someone called Ryan Adams came on the scene?
0:08:44 > 0:08:50- I think he was happy that Ryan Adams didn't match his success.- Right.
0:08:50 > 0:08:51I mean, for example,
0:08:51 > 0:08:56- I know when Ruce Springsteen came on the scene, I know that... - LAUGHTER
0:08:59 > 0:09:03Now, the code for international direct dial calls to Australia IS 61.
0:09:03 > 0:09:04AUDIENCE: Ooh!
0:09:04 > 0:09:07That would have been a result if you'd said that, 2 points.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09- Although ours isn't 41.- Oh, 44.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Ours is 44.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13I just bring that up.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16Just in case anyone's thinking of dialling in.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19And the number of surviving plays credited to Shakespeare...
0:09:19 > 0:09:22- It's more than 17.- It's 37. - Hey, there you go!
0:09:22 > 0:09:26And that would have scored you 5 points, which is also a prime number.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Thanks very much. Halfway through, let's look at the scores.
0:09:28 > 0:09:3010, Steve! The best score of that pass was yours,
0:09:30 > 0:09:32putting you and Lindsey top of the table.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Then up to 34, quite a hike up to there, where we find Sarah
0:09:35 > 0:09:39and Stewart. 37, Katie and Richard. And 40, Peter and Louise.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41So, quite tight grouping in the high scores there.
0:09:41 > 0:09:42But, Louise, you are ahead.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45So you know what we need from you, a nice, low score.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Let's hope that'll keep you in the game.
0:09:47 > 0:09:48Back down the line now,
0:09:48 > 0:09:51can the second players please step up to the podium.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55OK, we're going to put seven more clues up on the board,
0:09:55 > 0:09:57and here they come.
0:09:57 > 0:09:58We have got...
0:10:23 > 0:10:24I'll read those one last time...
0:10:44 > 0:10:47There we are. Lindsey, welcome to Pointless.
0:10:47 > 0:10:48- Thank you.- Good to have you here.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52- What do you do, Lindsey? - I'm a sales manager in the Midlands.
0:10:52 > 0:10:53Fun?
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Bundle of laughs.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Employees watching at the moment, do you think?
0:10:58 > 0:11:01What do you like getting up to when you're not doing that?
0:11:01 > 0:11:04I seem to find myself at an awful lot of children's parties these days.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09Maybe thinking about changing career to an entertainer,
0:11:09 > 0:11:12- I'm at so many of them. - You've now picked up quite a lot...?
0:11:12 > 0:11:15Do you have a favourite? Actually, what you could do,
0:11:15 > 0:11:18you could do a directory of Midlands children's entertainers.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21I might take up balloon modelling.
0:11:21 > 0:11:22It's not a bad idea.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25Anyway, Lindsey, there you are. You're on 10.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27The high-scorers, on 40, Louise and Peter.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29So, a score of 29 or less
0:11:29 > 0:11:33and you won't even be troubling the high-scoreboard.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35I think it's probably going to be a high-scorer,
0:11:35 > 0:11:38but I'm going to play it a little bit safe and go for the number
0:11:38 > 0:11:42of members in the original Police line-up as three.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45Three, says Lindsey. Let's see if that's right.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47If you can get below this red line with three,
0:11:47 > 0:11:49you are definitely in the next round.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51Let's see how many people said three.
0:11:53 > 0:11:54It's right.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00APPLAUSE
0:12:00 > 0:12:04I think that's good enough to see you through.
0:12:04 > 0:12:05Well done, Lindsey.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08Sting, Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland, of course,
0:12:08 > 0:12:09the original members of The Police.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Thanks very much indeed.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14- Now, Stewart, welcome.- All right.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16- What do you do, Stewart? - I'm a HGV driver.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20Do you drive nationally, internationally?
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Just within an hour and a half of Buxton, really.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26That's nice, never having to go too far. Now, Stewart.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28There you are, you're on 34.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31The high-scorers at the moment on 46 are Lindsey and Steve.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34So, yes - 11 or less definitely keeps you in the game.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37I think I know one, it's coming to me, and that's the top on.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39I think it's Sum 41.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42Sum 41. Sum 41, says Stewart.
0:12:42 > 0:12:43Let's see if 41's right.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47There's your red line - quite low, but maybe 41 can get you down there.
0:12:50 > 0:12:51It's right.
0:12:53 > 0:12:54I think that's a good answer, Stewart.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57I'll be surprised if that doesn't get you through to Round Two...
0:12:57 > 0:12:59- Almost! - APPLAUSE
0:13:04 > 0:13:07Well played, Stewart. Yes, Sum 41. I used to love Sum 41.
0:13:07 > 0:13:11- We're learning a lot, aren't we, about prime numbers today?- Aren't we?
0:13:11 > 0:13:15- Good, I feel we've been quite educational.- Now, Richard - welcome.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Good to have you here, what do you do, Richard?
0:13:17 > 0:13:20- I work in engagement for the NHS... - Of course!
0:13:20 > 0:13:22- You and Katie work together.- Yes.
0:13:22 > 0:13:23Now, whose idea was it come on the show?
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Well, we had some trouble working this out.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28I believe it was Katie, I think that she
0:13:28 > 0:13:30was the one that pushed us forward for this.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32- So it was your fault.- Yes.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36- And was Richard the obvious candidate?- Oh, yes, definitely.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38What you think Katie's relying on, Richard?
0:13:38 > 0:13:41Which area of speciality, expertise, do you think?
0:13:41 > 0:13:44Football, I think. And modern music, I think.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46- Modern music.- Yeah.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Richard, what are you going to go for?
0:13:48 > 0:13:49You want to be scoring 11 or less.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53It's going to be the number of syllables in a traditional haiku.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55And I think, it's a five, a five, a seven and a five.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Which to my mind is 22.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01But I'm hoping it's not a seven, a seven, a five and a seven.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03So my answer is 22!
0:14:05 > 0:14:08- Thank you for showing your working, is what I was going to say. - LAUGHTER
0:14:08 > 0:14:10You may get points for that.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13But, 22, you're saying.
0:14:13 > 0:14:14OK, there's your red line.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16You have to get below that red line
0:14:16 > 0:14:18with 22, prime number. Let's see if it's right.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23I'm sorry, Richard.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26I'm sorry, 22, not a prime number.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30Scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 137.
0:14:30 > 0:14:3322, of course, you can divide it by two.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35There's a clue in it, isn't there? LAUGHTER
0:14:37 > 0:14:38Yep.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40- OK, Louise - welcome.- Hello.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Welcome. What you do, Louise?
0:14:42 > 0:14:45I work in IT, in the retail sector.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48OK, very good. And what to do in your spare time, Louise?
0:14:48 > 0:14:52I like to watch men run around a field in tight shorts.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Is this in a sporting kind of environment...?
0:14:58 > 0:15:02Yeah, I'm a director of the local rugby team.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04That's fun - so you're a director of the team?
0:15:04 > 0:15:06I am indeed, operations director, yep.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08Now, Louise - you're the last person to have this board.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12You have to score 96 or less. Talk us through that board.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14I think there's one hump on a camel.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17It's either one or two, so I'm going to go for one.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20I don't know any of the others, apart from maybe the last one,
0:15:20 > 0:15:21which I think may be five.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24So I'm going to go with number of humps, one.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26One hump, is that right?
0:15:26 > 0:15:28And if it is, let's see how many of 100 people said it.
0:15:28 > 0:15:29There's your red line.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Oh! I'm sorry.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36100 points, you've scored.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40Yeah, dromedary is a one-humped camel, I'm afraid.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42- A Bactrian camel has two.- Oh! OK.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45And would have scored you...
0:15:45 > 0:15:47so would have seen you safely through.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55- The house number - do you remember this one?- I don't remember that.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Get down to 73. Number 73 with Sandi Toksvig and Neil Buchanan.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Only 2 points, goodness!
0:16:00 > 0:16:02The number of syllables in a traditional haiku -
0:16:02 > 0:16:04it actually goes five, seven, five, I'm afraid.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06So it's 17.
0:16:09 > 0:16:14- ..which scores five, finally! It's about time.- Slam dunk, look at that.
0:16:14 > 0:16:15Fantastic. Thank you, Richard.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18At the end of our First Round, I'm afraid the pair heading home...
0:16:18 > 0:16:21Oh, you kept the jeopardy up right till the very last minute there,
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Louise, but I'm afraid it is you. 140 is your high-score.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Louise and Peter, we have to say goodbye now,
0:16:26 > 0:16:28but we'll see you again next time.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30- Louise and Peter. - APPLAUSE
0:16:32 > 0:16:35But for the remaining three pairs it's now time for Round Two.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37APPLAUSE
0:16:41 > 0:16:43So, three pairs remain, at the end of this round we'll
0:16:43 > 0:16:46have to say goodbye to another pair in time for our head-to-head round.
0:16:46 > 0:16:47Well done, everyone -
0:16:47 > 0:16:50we've all made it through the minefields that was prime numbers.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53Richard, ooh, you were lucky there.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56Anyway, listen - put that behind us. Our best of luck to all three pairs.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59Our category for Round Two today is...
0:17:01 > 0:17:04Landmarks. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:17:04 > 0:17:05who's going to go second.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:17:23 > 0:17:28Countries With Five Or More UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Richard.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31As of April 2014, there are 62 countries in the world that
0:17:31 > 0:17:35have five or more UNESCO World Heritage sites within their borders.
0:17:35 > 0:17:36They can be cultural or natural.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38We're looking for any of those countries, please.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41In fact, we won't accept the UK, so there are 61 possible answers,
0:17:41 > 0:17:44which is a prime number, as Spando could tell you.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47Five also a prime number, so it's all coming together, this show.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51As always, by country, we mean a sovereign state that's a member of the UN in its own right.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54Thanks very much indeed. Richard, over to you.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58- I'm going to go for Greece. - Greece, says Richard. Greece.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01Let's see if it's right, let's see how many people said Greece.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13APPLAUSE
0:18:14 > 0:18:1520 for Greece.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20Well played, Richard. It's got 17 sites.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23Which is a prime number. LAUGHTER
0:18:23 > 0:18:27- Now, Sarah.- Yes. - What are you going to go for?
0:18:27 > 0:18:31I think I'm going to go with China.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33China, says Sarah. Let's see if that's right,
0:18:33 > 0:18:35let's see how many of our 100 people said China.
0:18:38 > 0:18:39It's right.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43Well, Greece scored 20.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46- China passes that! - APPLAUSE
0:18:49 > 0:18:5116 for China.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54- They've got 45 UNESCO World Heritage sites.- Good.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56Thanks very much indeed.
0:18:56 > 0:18:57- Lindsey!- Hello.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59What are you going to go for?
0:18:59 > 0:19:02I'm going to try Mexico.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Mexico, says Lindsey. Interesting.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Let's see how many of our 100 people said Mexico.
0:19:09 > 0:19:10It's right.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13Well, 20's our high-scorer at this point, and 16 our low -
0:19:13 > 0:19:16lets see where Mexico ends up. It passes all of them.
0:19:16 > 0:19:17APPLAUSE
0:19:22 > 0:19:24We're going for a lot of the big hitters here.
0:19:24 > 0:19:25They've got 32 in Mexico.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29Including the ancient, industrial facilities of Tequila.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34- That's a UNESCO World Heritage Site. - There you go.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37That's where they set To Kill A Mockingbird, that was down there(!)
0:19:37 > 0:19:39Halfway through the round - thank you, Richard -
0:19:39 > 0:19:40let's take a look at those scores.
0:19:40 > 0:19:4215 the best score of the pass, Lindsey and Steve.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44Then up to 16, Sarah and Stewart.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47Then up to 20, where we find Richard and Katie.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49So, yes - all pretty tightly grouped there.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51However, Katie, you are out in front,
0:19:51 > 0:19:52so we need a low score from you.
0:19:52 > 0:19:53Back down the line now,
0:19:53 > 0:19:56can the second players please step up to the podium.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01So, Steve - remember we're looking for countries that
0:20:01 > 0:20:04have five or more UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07You're on 15. To avoid becoming the new high-scorers,
0:20:07 > 0:20:09you want to score 4 or less.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14Before I wore spandex, I used to wear a backpack.
0:20:14 > 0:20:15Sorry.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17That may be bigging it up a little bit too much,
0:20:17 > 0:20:19cos I only wore it for about two weeks.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23But I did go to visit Peru, so that's what I'm going to go for.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25Peru, says Steve.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27Spando.
0:20:27 > 0:20:28There is your red line,
0:20:28 > 0:20:30if you can get below that red line
0:20:30 > 0:20:32you are definitely in the head-to-head.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34But let's see how far down the column you get with Peru.
0:20:37 > 0:20:38It's right.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45- Oh, it's a good answer, look at that! - APPLAUSE
0:20:45 > 0:20:47I think that's good enough for you, Steve.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Good answer, Steve. They've got 11 sites,
0:20:53 > 0:20:56including Machu Picchu and the Temple of the Spandex Backpack.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58LAUGHTER
0:21:00 > 0:21:02- Now, Stewart.- Yep.
0:21:02 > 0:21:03Stewart, you're on 16,
0:21:03 > 0:21:05high-scorers at the moment are Steve and Lindsey on 22.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08So, 5 or less is what you want.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11My answers just gone, so...
0:21:11 > 0:21:12- There are other countries.- Yeah.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15LAUGHTER
0:21:15 > 0:21:18- I'm going to go with Brazil. - Brazil, says Stewart.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20Get below this with Brazil,
0:21:20 > 0:21:23and you are definitely in the head-to-head.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25Let's see how many of our 100 people said Brazil.
0:21:27 > 0:21:28It's right.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37APPLAUSE
0:21:40 > 0:21:42Well done, Stewart, it's going
0:21:42 > 0:21:45to be very interesting on that final podium now. Brazil's got 19 sites.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47OK. Now, Katie - there you are.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50You're on 20, the high-scorers are Stewart and Sarah on 28,
0:21:50 > 0:21:52so 7 or less is what we have to get from you.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55- That's it.- Yep. - It's the end of the line.- Yep.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58- Well, I've got a few up my sleeve. - Good.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00I think they'll all be fairly high...
0:22:00 > 0:22:02OK, don't use those ones, look in the other sleeve.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Well then, all that's left is for me to carry
0:22:05 > 0:22:07on this South American theme,
0:22:07 > 0:22:10have a complete punt, and go Chile.
0:22:10 > 0:22:11Chile.
0:22:11 > 0:22:12OK, here's your red line.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15You have to get below that with Chile.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Or else we have to say goodbye to you.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20Let's find out, is Chile right? Let's see how many people said it.
0:22:22 > 0:22:23It is right.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27Can Chile score less than 7?
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Down it goes, still going down,
0:22:29 > 0:22:32- you've done it! - APPLAUSE
0:22:32 > 0:22:35That's a great answer, Katie, just when we needed it.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37Takes your total up to 22, which is the answer Richard gave
0:22:37 > 0:22:40in the prime number round which wasn't a prime number.
0:22:40 > 0:22:41But there we are, it is your score.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44Yeah, I have to say, that's the way to play Pointless, Katie.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47Very well done, took a risk. There's five there.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Five, so just made it through.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52Let's take a look at some of the pointless answers, there's quite a few.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54Sticking with South America, you could've had...
0:23:05 > 0:23:07You also could've said Columbia, Czech Republic,
0:23:07 > 0:23:10Democratic Republic of Congo, Lebanon, Romania, Senegal,
0:23:10 > 0:23:12South Korea and Zimbabwe.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15Top three, the ones that most of our 100 people said...
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30At the end of our Second Round, the pair who are heading home
0:23:30 > 0:23:33with their impressive low high-score of 28, it's Stewart and Sarah.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36We have to say goodbye to you now, we'll see you again next time.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39- Thanks so much, Stewart and Sarah. - APPLAUSE
0:23:40 > 0:23:43But for Steve and Lindsey and Katie and Richard,
0:23:43 > 0:23:44it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46APPLAUSE
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Congratulations, Steve and Lindsey, Katie and Richard.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53You're one step closer to the final and the chance to
0:23:53 > 0:23:55play for our jackpot, which is currently...
0:23:57 > 0:23:59APPLAUSE
0:24:00 > 0:24:02Very well done indeed, Steve and Lindsey,
0:24:02 > 0:24:05you haven't put a foot wrong. Katie and Richard, well...
0:24:05 > 0:24:06There've been some ups and downs,
0:24:06 > 0:24:09Richard, very lucky escape with 22 in Round One,
0:24:09 > 0:24:10all the numbers going around.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Best of luck to both pairs, let's play the head-to-head.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14APPLAUSE
0:24:19 > 0:24:21Here comes your first question, and it concerns...
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Writers On Film.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30We're going to show you five actors portraying different writers on film,
0:24:30 > 0:24:33we need you to tell us the name of the writer portrayed, please.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35- Very best of luck. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:24:35 > 0:24:39Let's reveal our five writers on film, and here they are. We have...
0:25:03 > 0:25:06There we are, five writers portrayed in films.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08Steve and Lindsey, you've been our low-scorers throughout,
0:25:08 > 0:25:10so you will go first.
0:25:10 > 0:25:15- A is Edgar Allan Poe.- That's a very good answer. B is Wilde.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18- D is Shakespeare. - C is Iris Murdoch.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21And the other good one is E, which I think is Travers,
0:25:21 > 0:25:22the woman who wrote Mary Poppins.
0:25:22 > 0:25:26- We've had a chat, we're going to go for A.- Edgar Allan Poe.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29Edgar Allan Poe, say Steve and Lindsey. Edgar Allen Poe.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32Now, Katie and Richard, the board's all yours.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34- Do you want to talk us through it? - Yep.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36- We didn't know A.- A was the only one we didn't know, yeah.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39B is Oscar Wilde.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41C is Iris Murdoch.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43D is Shakespeare.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45And E, I think is E.L. Travers,
0:25:45 > 0:25:48but because I'm not confident of the second letter,
0:25:48 > 0:25:50we'll go C, Iris Murdoch.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53OK, C, Iris Murdoch, say Katie and Richard.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55So we have Edgar Allan Poe versus Iris Murdoch.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58Steve and Lindsey said Edgar Allan Poe for A, let's see
0:25:58 > 0:26:00if that's right, let's see how many people said that.
0:26:03 > 0:26:04It's right.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Oh, that's a good answer, look at that -
0:26:10 > 0:26:13- Very well done indeed. - APPLAUSE
0:26:13 > 0:26:164 for Edgar Allan Poe.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19Katie and Richard, meanwhile, have said Iris Murdoch for C.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said Iris Murdoch.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27It is right.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Oh, it's going to be close, down it goes, oh!
0:26:33 > 0:26:35APPLAUSE
0:26:35 > 0:26:37Two brilliant answers there, 4 and 6,
0:26:37 > 0:26:40but Edgar Allen Poe wins it for Steve and Lindsey.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42After one question, you're up 1-0.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Good work, it's going to be a good head-to-head, I think.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46Actually, 4 is the best answer up there.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48Even if you had got the last one -
0:26:48 > 0:26:50- it's P.L. Travers.- Oh.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52P.L. Travers, and would have scored you 5 points.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54Emma Thompson, playing her there.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56The writer of Mary Poppins, of course.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00B is Stephen Fry as Oscar Wilde, as you said.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07Joseph Fiennes there as Shakespeare.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14Thanks very much indeed, Richard. Here comes your second question.
0:27:14 > 0:27:18Katie and Richard, you get to answer it first, but you have to win it to stay in the game, so best of luck.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20It concerns...
0:27:22 > 0:27:23Batman. Richard.
0:27:23 > 0:27:27We're going to show you the names of five characters from the Batman universe of comics,
0:27:27 > 0:27:31but we've removed alternate letters from their names, can you fill in the gaps?
0:27:31 > 0:27:33Let's reveal our five Batman characters,
0:27:33 > 0:27:35and here they are with bits missing.
0:27:35 > 0:27:36We have...
0:27:45 > 0:27:46I'll read those all again...
0:27:54 > 0:27:56Katie and Richard, you will go first.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03We know a few on there,
0:28:03 > 0:28:08but we think the lowest answer might be the fourth one down, Poison Ivy.
0:28:08 > 0:28:12Poison Ivy, OK. Poison Ivy, say Katie and Richard.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15Steve and Lindsey, the board's all yours. Talk us through it.
0:28:15 > 0:28:19We think the bottom one is the Riddler.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21And we had Poison Ivy.
0:28:21 > 0:28:25- So we're going to go with the Riddler.- The Riddler.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27OK, Poison Ivy versus the Riddler.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30Katie and Richard said Poison Ivy, let's see if that's right, and how many people said it.
0:28:33 > 0:28:34It's right.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42APPLAUSE
0:28:46 > 0:28:48Steve and Lindsey have gone for the Riddler,
0:28:48 > 0:28:50let's see how many people said that.
0:28:53 > 0:28:54It's right.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02APPLAUSE
0:29:02 > 0:29:05Very well done, Katie and Richard, you're back in the game.
0:29:05 > 0:29:06- After two questions it's 1-1. - Well played.
0:29:06 > 0:29:09There is a pointless answer up there, but it's not the top one.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11That's Harley Quinn.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13One-time girlfriend of the Joker.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16Would have scored you 59, which has the good grace to be a prime number.
0:29:16 > 0:29:20Robin is a big scorer, what do you think Robin would have scored?
0:29:20 > 0:29:22Erm, 95?
0:29:22 > 0:29:24LAUGHTER
0:29:24 > 0:29:26Yep, very well done, very well done.
0:29:26 > 0:29:30And the other one is the pointless answer, it's Joe Something.
0:29:30 > 0:29:32It's Joe Chill.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34Very well done if you said that.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36Thanks very much indeed.
0:29:36 > 0:29:40Whoever wins this third question goes through to the final and plays for that jackpot.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42Best of luck to both pairs. It concerns...
0:29:45 > 0:29:47Bill Gates. Richard.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50We're going to show you five clues now to facts about Bill Gates.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52Very best of luck to both teams.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54Let's reveal our five clues, and here they come.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56We have got...
0:30:13 > 0:30:15I'll read those all one last time.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35Steve and Lindsey, you will go first this time.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39- Shall we go with that?- Go with that.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42OK, we're going to go for the decade in which Forbes Magazine first
0:30:42 > 0:30:45named him the world's richest man,
0:30:45 > 0:30:49and we really hope it was the 1980s.
0:30:49 > 0:30:53The 1980s. OK, the '80s say Steve and Lindsey.
0:30:53 > 0:30:54Katie and Richard.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57Erm, shall we have a real punt at the comedy series?
0:30:57 > 0:30:59I don't know of a film about Bill Gates.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01I wonder whether it's the film about Steve Jobs,
0:31:01 > 0:31:03but I can't remember what that film's called.
0:31:03 > 0:31:07Great! Shall we go for the comedy series?
0:31:07 > 0:31:08Yeah.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11We'll go for the comedy series, and we'll just say Friends.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13- OK.- You're going to say Friends.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15So, we have the 1980s and we have Friends.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17Let's take them in the order they were given.
0:31:17 > 0:31:21Steve and Lindsey went for the 1980s. Let's see if that's right.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25- AUDIENCE MOANS - Nope.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28Katie and Richard, you just have to be correct with your answer
0:31:28 > 0:31:29here, and you will go through to the final.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32Let's see if you're right with Friends.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37- Ooh! - LAUGHTER
0:31:37 > 0:31:40So, there we are. After three questions, it's one-all.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42Yeah, if you're going to guess anything, guess a decade.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45It could only be two of them, and it was the other one. 1990s.
0:31:45 > 0:31:491995 was the first year he was the richest person in the world.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52He's been the richest person in the world for 15 of the last 20 years.
0:31:52 > 0:31:54It's Peter Andre for the other five.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56LAUGHTER 30 points for that.
0:31:56 > 0:32:00Now, his city of birth is Seattle,
0:32:00 > 0:32:01which is where Microsoft is based.
0:32:01 > 0:32:05Seven points for that. He dropped out of Harvard.
0:32:06 > 0:32:08It would have scored you 15 points.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10Now, the comedy series is a tough one.
0:32:10 > 0:32:15It's a pointless answer, and well done anyone who said Frasier.
0:32:15 > 0:32:19- Of course, yeah. - And the film, it's not Steve jobs.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22It's the film about Mark Zuckerberg and the founding of Facebook.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24He's in that. It's The Social Network.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27It would have scored you 8.
0:32:27 > 0:32:28OK, thanks very much indeed.
0:32:28 > 0:32:32OK, here comes your fourth question, and it concerns...
0:32:35 > 0:32:37Meryl Streep characters, Richard.
0:32:37 > 0:32:41Going to give you five clues now to characters played by Meryl Streep on film.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44We need you to tell us the films that these characters appeared in, please.
0:32:44 > 0:32:45The very best of luck.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48OK, let's reveal our five clues and here they come.
0:33:09 > 0:33:10I'll read those all one last time.
0:33:25 > 0:33:28Now, Katie and Richard, you go first.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30Are you sure?
0:33:30 > 0:33:34- Because it's slightly older, or... - Yeah... Maybe.- Yeah.
0:33:34 > 0:33:40OK, we'll go for the fourth one on that list, which is Out Of Africa.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42Out Of Africa say Richard and Katie.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44Now, Steve and Lindsey.
0:33:46 > 0:33:50I think I remember seeing this last film with, I think,
0:33:50 > 0:33:53maybe Alec Baldwin, and I think it's It's Complicated,
0:33:53 > 0:33:56- so I think we're going to go for the bottom one.- It's Complicated.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59OK, so we have Out Of Africa and we have It's Complicated.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01Katie and Richard have gone for Out Of Africa.
0:34:01 > 0:34:02Let's see if that's right.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07It is right!
0:34:10 > 0:34:13- Down it goes. 25. - APPLAUSE
0:34:14 > 0:34:1625 for Out Of Africa.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19Steve and Lindsey have gone for It's Complicated.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said that.
0:34:25 > 0:34:26It's right.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32And it wins you the point! Very well done indeed.
0:34:32 > 0:34:36It's Complicated, 8, which means after four questions,
0:34:36 > 0:34:38Steve and Lindsey, you're through to the final. 2-1.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43So, absolutely pumped to have Spando through to the jackpot, are you?
0:34:43 > 0:34:45LAUGHTER
0:34:45 > 0:34:46That's great news. Well done, Spando.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49You actually gave us the best answer on the board again.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51You couldn't have beaten It's Complicated.
0:34:51 > 0:34:55The next best answer is the top one, and it was The River Wild.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57It would have scored you 9 points.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00It's The Devil Wears Prada, would have scored you 54,
0:35:00 > 0:35:05and the biggest scorer by a mile, Mamma Mia! with 70.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:35:07 > 0:35:08So at the end of our head-to-head round,
0:35:08 > 0:35:12I'm afraid the pair leaving us...is Katie and Richard.
0:35:12 > 0:35:16Well, it was very nearly Round One, so you staggered on.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19A fabulous performance in Round Two, and I'm afraid,
0:35:19 > 0:35:21though, Steve and Lindsey have pipped you here.
0:35:21 > 0:35:23But it means we get to see you again next time.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25We look forward to that very much indeed.
0:35:25 > 0:35:30- Katie and Richard, thanks very much indeed. Great contestants. - APPLAUSE
0:35:30 > 0:35:33But for Steve and Lindsey, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39Congratulations, Steve and Lindsey.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41You've fought off all the competition and you have won
0:35:41 > 0:35:43our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:48 > 0:35:49Woo-hoo!
0:35:49 > 0:35:53You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot, and at the end of today's show,
0:35:53 > 0:35:56the jackpot stands at £2,000. There it is.
0:35:56 > 0:35:57APPLAUSE
0:35:59 > 0:36:02Well, it took a while in that head-to-head. It took a while.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04But you made it,
0:36:04 > 0:36:07and you were our low scorers in every single round up to that point.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10So, yeah, fantastic. Great performance there.
0:36:10 > 0:36:13Steve, Spando, you've stretched yourself, that's what you've done.
0:36:13 > 0:36:14LAUGHTER
0:36:14 > 0:36:16Not a pretty sight!
0:36:17 > 0:36:18OK, well, as always,
0:36:18 > 0:36:21you get to choose your category from the four we put up on the board.
0:36:21 > 0:36:25Let's hope there's something up there today you like the look of.
0:36:25 > 0:36:27We've got...
0:36:34 > 0:36:36OK, I'll go with whichever you would like to go with.
0:36:36 > 0:36:38- You live near Birmingham. - Thanks, yeah.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43I think we're going to go for Birmingham.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46- OK, Birmingham it is. Richard. - OK, good luck.
0:36:46 > 0:36:51Three very different questions here. We're looking for anyone who, at the beginning of April 2014, is the
0:36:51 > 0:36:54MP for any of the ten constituencies that make up Birmingham.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56We're looking for any published collection of poems
0:36:56 > 0:36:59by Benjamin Zephaniah, or we are looking for anyone who has
0:36:59 > 0:37:03ever managed Birmingham City or its predecessors from 1892.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06Only full-time managers, no interim or caretaker managers.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08So, any Birmingham MPs, April 2014,
0:37:08 > 0:37:11any Benjamin Zephaniah collections of poetry,
0:37:11 > 0:37:13or any Birmingham City managers. Very best of luck.
0:37:13 > 0:37:15Thanks very much indeed. Now, as always,
0:37:15 > 0:37:18you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21All we need for you to walk off with that jackpot is for just
0:37:21 > 0:37:23one of those answers to be pointless.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26- Are you ready?- Yes.- Yes.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28OK. Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock. There they are.
0:37:28 > 0:37:30- Your time sites now. - What are you thinking?
0:37:30 > 0:37:32I'm only thinking about the bottom one,
0:37:32 > 0:37:36and I'm not a massive football fun.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39I had Football '81, my sticker album, my Panini, and I loved it,
0:37:39 > 0:37:41- but I can't visualise the manager. - Well, that's no good!
0:37:41 > 0:37:45I can remember Alex McLeish has been their manager, and I can remember...
0:37:45 > 0:37:48- If we can get three names I'll be pleased. - Steve Bruce was their manager.
0:37:48 > 0:37:52I don't think either of them are pointless. I'm just trying to think of managers
0:37:52 > 0:37:55from the '80s that might have been there. I'm thinking about John Bond.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58I know he was at Manchester City and Norwich. I don't think he was there.
0:37:58 > 0:38:01Erm, I don't know if Trevor Francis might have been a manager cos
0:38:01 > 0:38:03he was a manager at...
0:38:03 > 0:38:06I think it might have been one of those clubs.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08I'll go with whatever you decide.
0:38:08 > 0:38:12- I just think we should have a punt, maybe, on Trevor Francis.- OK.
0:38:12 > 0:38:15But I'm still trying to picture my...
0:38:15 > 0:38:16Football '81, I've still got it!
0:38:16 > 0:38:19Did you say John Bond? I've not really heard of him...
0:38:19 > 0:38:20Ten seconds left.
0:38:22 > 0:38:23Go for it. Just go with it.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25OK. OK.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32OK, that is your time up. I now need your three answers.
0:38:32 > 0:38:36OK, we're going to go for the Birmingham City managers.
0:38:36 > 0:38:39- We're going to go for Trevor Francis.- Trevor Francis.
0:38:39 > 0:38:44- We're going to go for, erm, Alex McLeish.- Alex McLeish.
0:38:44 > 0:38:46- And Steve Bruce.- Steve Bruce.
0:38:46 > 0:38:48Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:48 > 0:38:51- Trevor Francis, if it's right. - Trevor Francis, if it's right.
0:38:51 > 0:38:56- We'll put last. Least likely to be pointless?- Erm, of the other two...
0:38:56 > 0:38:58- Alex McLeish.- Alex McLeish.
0:38:58 > 0:39:01OK, well, let's pop those up on the board in that order, and here they are.
0:39:01 > 0:39:05We have got Alex McLeish, Steve Bruce and Trevor Francis.
0:39:05 > 0:39:07Well, best of luck. Three good answers up there on the board.
0:39:07 > 0:39:10Let's hope at least one of those is pointless and will win you that jackpot.
0:39:10 > 0:39:13Two grand, not a bad sum to be taking home.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15Steve, what would you do with your share of that?
0:39:15 > 0:39:18Remember The Office? David Brent? That'll be me.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21I want to do a video on a beach of myself.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23Pop it on YouTube. White linen suit.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25LAUGHTER
0:39:25 > 0:39:28- Lindsey, how about you? - I'm not sure how I can follow that!
0:39:28 > 0:39:30Erm, we're going to New York later in the year,
0:39:30 > 0:39:35so I'd probably take it and blow it on a completely unnecessary handbag.
0:39:35 > 0:39:36OK, well, there we are. Best of luck.
0:39:36 > 0:39:40As I say, three good answers, let's hope one of them wins it for you. Your first was Alex McLeish.
0:39:40 > 0:39:45You weren't entirely confident this was going to win the jackpot for you, but who knows?
0:39:45 > 0:39:48In all cases, all three cases, we are looking for Birmingham City managers.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51Let's find out if Alex McLeish is pointless.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54If it is, it'll win you £2,000. How many people said Alex McLeish?
0:39:56 > 0:39:58It's right.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00Well, as I say, if this goes all the way down to 0,
0:40:00 > 0:40:02you will leave here with £2,000.
0:40:02 > 0:40:06Alex McLeish now taking us down through the 20s into the teens,
0:40:06 > 0:40:07into single figures...
0:40:07 > 0:40:09- 9. - APPLAUSE
0:40:13 > 0:40:16So not a pointless answer.
0:40:16 > 0:40:20That means you only have two more shots and today's jackpot. Your second answer was Steve Bruce.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23Again, Birmingham City managers is the category.
0:40:23 > 0:40:25Let's find out if it's pointless.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27For £2,000, how many people said Steve Bruce?
0:40:32 > 0:40:33It's right.
0:40:33 > 0:40:36Well, Alex McLeish took us down to 9,
0:40:36 > 0:40:41Steve Bruce now taking us down through the 30s, into the 20s...
0:40:41 > 0:40:44into the teens. 15 for Steve Bruce.
0:40:44 > 0:40:45APPLAUSE
0:40:49 > 0:40:52OK. Everything is now riding on your third and final answer.
0:40:52 > 0:40:56You weren't entirely sure if this was correct. But it might be.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58And it might be pointless. Trevor Francis.
0:40:58 > 0:41:01Let's find out how many people said Trevor Francis.
0:41:01 > 0:41:03For £2,000, is it pointless?
0:41:06 > 0:41:08It's right.
0:41:08 > 0:41:09It's right.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12Your first answer, Alex McLeish, took us all the way down to 9.
0:41:12 > 0:41:16Steve Bruce took us down to 15. Trevor Francis now passing 15.
0:41:16 > 0:41:17Passing 9.
0:41:17 > 0:41:19Oh! 5.
0:41:19 > 0:41:20APPLAUSE
0:41:25 > 0:41:275. Well, listen, you ended with a prime number,
0:41:27 > 0:41:30so very well done there. That'll please Richard.
0:41:30 > 0:41:34Unfortunately, you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer, so you don't
0:41:34 > 0:41:38win the jackpot of £2,000. That will roll over onto the next show, but what a performance.
0:41:38 > 0:41:41You've done very, very well and we've really enjoyed having you on the show.
0:41:41 > 0:41:43And you get a Pointless trophy each, so very well done.
0:41:43 > 0:41:45- APPLAUSE - Thank you.
0:41:47 > 0:41:51Yeah, you've played really well. You've been great fun throughout as well,
0:41:51 > 0:41:54and you gave us three correct answers there, which is very good going.
0:41:54 > 0:41:58In fact, during your 60 seconds, you gave us four correct answers...
0:41:58 > 0:42:01- cos John Bond was a pointless answer.- Oh, no!- Oh!
0:42:01 > 0:42:03It was John Bond! Never mind.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06Would have been worth the risk, it turns out. I'm very sorry.
0:42:06 > 0:42:08Well done if you got John Bond at home.
0:42:08 > 0:42:11Now, let's take a look at the MPs.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14Jack Dromey, the Shadow Police Minister,
0:42:14 > 0:42:17is a pointless answer, John Hemming, Khalid Mahmood, Richard Burden,
0:42:17 > 0:42:21they were the pointless answers on that. Very well done if you said any of those.
0:42:21 > 0:42:24Benjamin Zephaniah, a collection of City Psalms, Pen Rhythm,
0:42:24 > 0:42:27The Dread Affair, We Are Britain, in fact, anything apart from
0:42:27 > 0:42:29Talking Turkeys would have been a pointless answer,
0:42:29 > 0:42:31so if you said anything else, very well played.
0:42:31 > 0:42:35And let's take a look at some of these managers. Quite a few on this list, actually.
