0:00:16 > 0:00:19APPLAUSE
0:00:22 > 0:00:23Thank you very much, indeed.
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:25 > 0:00:28the show where the lowest scorers are the biggest winners.
0:00:28 > 0:00:29Let's meet today's players.
0:00:34 > 0:00:35And couple number one.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Hi, I'm Lucy, this is my dad Charlie,
0:00:38 > 0:00:39and we're both from West London.
0:00:39 > 0:00:40Couple number two.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42Hi, I'm Hayley, this is my best friend Jane.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45I'm from South Wales and Jane's from Dorset.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47- Couple number three.- Hello, I'm Richard from Oxted in Surrey
0:00:47 > 0:00:49and this is my nephew Alexander from East Grinstead.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51And finally, couple number four.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55Hi, Alexander, I'm Cathie and I'm playing today with my son Fred,
0:00:55 > 0:00:57and we're from Mill Hill in North London.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59And these are today's contestants.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Thanks, all of you. We'll find out more about you
0:01:04 > 0:01:05throughout the show as it goes along,
0:01:05 > 0:01:07so that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09If this man was around in the Jurassic Era,
0:01:09 > 0:01:12he would be a thesaurus.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Ahem. It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17Hiya. Hey, everybody.
0:01:17 > 0:01:18Hiya.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22- A good afternoon to you.- And to you.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25- We've got four new pairs on today. - I know.- Haven't we?
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Now, normally, we worry a bit about that because of our
0:01:27 > 0:01:30natural shyness, but actually, we had a little chat to all of them.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33- They seem lovely.- They do seem fine. - Don't they seem nice?
0:01:33 > 0:01:34- I think it's going to be a lot of fun.- Yes.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37- Have you seen on podium three? - I spotted that.
0:01:37 > 0:01:38I think that's a first.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40- I spotted that.- I think it's a first in 800-odd episodes...
0:01:40 > 0:01:43a Richard and Alexander.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46- I mean, good luck.- Yeah, OK. - LAUGHTER
0:01:46 > 0:01:48I think that's about the biggest curse
0:01:48 > 0:01:50- you could possibly have, isn't it? - Oh, possibly.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53- Goodness me.- Well...- Oh, no, but I'm looking forward to it.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55It should be absolutely...
0:01:55 > 0:01:57absolutely terrific/tremendous.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59It's going to be one or the other.
0:01:59 > 0:02:00- Well, let's find out.- Yeah.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04So, Emma and Moose didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:02:04 > 0:02:06so we add another £1,000 to that,
0:02:06 > 0:02:10so today's jackpot starts off at £3,000. There we are.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13CHEERING
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23Now, all you have to remember is that the pair with
0:02:23 > 0:02:26the highest score at the end of each round will be eliminated. That's it.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28Best of luck, all four pairs.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31Our first category today is...
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Famous People. Can you decide in your pairs
0:02:36 > 0:02:38who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:02:38 > 0:02:41And whoever's going first, please, step up to the podium.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46OK, and the question concerns...
0:02:50 > 0:02:52Famous Ricks, Richard.
0:02:52 > 0:02:53Yeah, we're going to give you clues
0:02:53 > 0:02:56to seven people on each board whose name is Rick or Ricky.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58You have to give us the most obscure answer, please.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01There's going to be 14 to have a go at at home, so very best of luck.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Thank you very much indeed. So, who are these famous Ricks or Rickys?
0:03:04 > 0:03:07And here's our first board of seven, and we have...
0:03:31 > 0:03:33I'll read those all one last time.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57There we are.
0:03:57 > 0:03:58A lot of Rickys and Ricks there.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01- Lucy, welcome.- Hi.- Good to have you here. What do you do, Lucy?
0:04:01 > 0:04:03I'm a second-year student at Durham University.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07- How are you enjoying that?- I love it.- What are you reading?- Sociology.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09And what are your interests aside from study?
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Cos I imagine you must spend most of your time
0:04:11 > 0:04:14- buried under books there... - Erm...- ..working fiendishly hard.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Standing next to your father, "Yes, I do."
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Yes, I work really hard.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21Erm, my other interests, I...
0:04:21 > 0:04:22I like drama.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24I used to do a lot of acting.
0:04:24 > 0:04:25Erm...
0:04:25 > 0:04:28I like to go out...
0:04:29 > 0:04:32- Fair enough. That's, that's, that's good.- ..with friends.
0:04:32 > 0:04:33I go and play tennis a lot.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35- Excellent. - I like to play tennis, yeah.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39Now, Ricks and Rickys, Lucy. Seven of them up there.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41How many do you reckon you know of those?
0:04:41 > 0:04:44I know two of them definitely.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48I think I'm going to go with the one that I think will be lower,
0:04:48 > 0:04:53and I did work experience on a film with this comedian and actor
0:04:53 > 0:04:55when I was 15, so I know that the comedian and actor
0:04:55 > 0:04:57behind The Office and Extras is Ricky Gervais.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01Ricky Gervais, says Lucy. Let's see if that's right, and if it is...
0:05:01 > 0:05:03What were you working on, by the way?
0:05:03 > 0:05:04Cemetery Junction, filming...
0:05:04 > 0:05:06- Fun?- Yeah, so fun. Really fun.- Good.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Excellent, well, let's find out if Ricky Gervais is right.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Let's see how many people said Ricky Gervais.
0:05:15 > 0:05:16It's right.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Oh, that's a high score, though, Lucy.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22- APPLAUSE - 70 for Ricky Gervais.- Oh, well.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24That is a big score, isn't it?
0:05:24 > 0:05:26- A big score to start us off with. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28- Now then, Hayley, welcome. - Thank you.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30Good to have you here. What do you do, Hayley?
0:05:30 > 0:05:33I work with my husband in the family business,
0:05:33 > 0:05:35in our small village, in Raglan.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37- And...in Raglan?- In Raglan.
0:05:37 > 0:05:38- In Monmouthshire?- That's right.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41Lovely, and what is your business?
0:05:41 > 0:05:45- We have a grocery and a post office, and supermarket.- Excellent.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48So... That's basically... Is that the only shop in Raglan?
0:05:48 > 0:05:50- It's the only shop like that. - Yeah.- There are several others
0:05:50 > 0:05:53- but that's the only one like that. - Beautiful place, Raglan.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56- Erm, and what are your interests, Hayley?- I love to read.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59I like to read really obscure books about all sorts of things,
0:05:59 > 0:06:04erm, and I love to watch plays, musicals, things like that.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Excellent. What are you going to go for on this board, Hayley?
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Well, I don't have much choice cos I only know two,
0:06:09 > 0:06:12and Lucy's taken the one that I did know, so I'm going to go with
0:06:12 > 0:06:15Livin' La Vida Loca, and I think that's Ricky Martin.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Ricky Martin, says Hayley.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Let's see how many of our 100 people said Ricky Martin.
0:06:24 > 0:06:25Well, Ricky Gervais was 70.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Ricky Martin passes that.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37Yeah, he's sold over 70 million albums worldwide, Ricky Martin.
0:06:37 > 0:06:38- No, really?- Can you believe that?
0:06:38 > 0:06:42And big around the world, Ricky Martin, not just big in the UK.
0:06:42 > 0:06:43Thanks very much.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45OK, now, Alexander, welcome.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48Welcome and congratulations on being the Alexander half
0:06:48 > 0:06:50of the Alexander-Richard duo. Good to have you here.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52- What do you do, Alexander? - I'm an A-level student.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55What do you study? What are your subjects?
0:06:55 > 0:06:57- I study history, biology and chemistry.- Mm-hmm.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00And hopefully that will lead onto medicine in a couple of years' time.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02OK, well, very best of luck with that,
0:07:02 > 0:07:04and best of luck with this board as well.
0:07:04 > 0:07:05What are you going to go for?
0:07:05 > 0:07:08I'm stuck between the only two left that I know.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11I think they both could be quite high scorers.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15I'm going to go for the captain of Australia's national cricket team
0:07:15 > 0:07:17- is Ricky Ponting. - Ricky Ponting, says Alexander.
0:07:17 > 0:07:18Let's see if that's right.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Let's see how many of our 100 people said Ricky Ponting.
0:07:25 > 0:07:26It's right. Well, 70's our high score.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28You passed that. 51, our low,
0:07:28 > 0:07:29you passed that. Ricky Ponting
0:07:29 > 0:07:31takes you to 22. Well done, Alexander.
0:07:34 > 0:07:35Good score.
0:07:37 > 0:07:38Well-played, Alexander.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Yeah, he is the second highest Test run-scorer in history,
0:07:41 > 0:07:43behind Sachin Tendulkar.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46Thanks very much indeed. Now then, Fred.
0:07:46 > 0:07:47- Welcome.- Hello.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50- And what do you do, Fred? - I'm a travel consultant.
0:07:50 > 0:07:51- A travel consultant?- Yes.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54That's a very different thing from a travel agent, is it?
0:07:54 > 0:07:55- Very different, yes.- Very?
0:07:55 > 0:07:57You don't sell the holiday, you just talk through holidays.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00- No, we sell the holidays. - It's a bit "travel agent".
0:08:00 > 0:08:02We're literally responsible for everything.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04- But big on the chat before the sale, maybe?- Pretty much so, yeah.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06Consultant... I like that, though.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Sounds...sounds snazzy, yeah.
0:08:08 > 0:08:09So, yes, Fred,
0:08:09 > 0:08:11and when you're not consulting on holidays, what do you do?
0:08:11 > 0:08:14Yes, well, I'm a massive cricket fan, which is
0:08:14 > 0:08:17obviously unfortunate cos Alexander just nicked my answer.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21- Right.- But, luckily for me, I do have one left that I know, so...
0:08:21 > 0:08:23OK, well, listen, Fred, this board is all yours.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25- Talk us through it. - Yes.- Have fun with it.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Erm, Beastie Boys, love them, but no idea of the producer.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Tennis player, that's escaped me.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34So I'm going to go with the one that I do know,
0:08:34 > 0:08:35which is the ex-US Senator,
0:08:35 > 0:08:38and that is Rick Santorum.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Rick Santorum, says Fred.
0:08:40 > 0:08:41- Yeah.- Rick Santorum.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43You have impressed Richard there.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Have you impressed Richard here, I wonder?
0:08:45 > 0:08:46Rick Santorum, let's see if it's right
0:08:46 > 0:08:48and let's see how many of our 100 said it.
0:08:52 > 0:08:53It's right.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Now, 70, our high score...
0:08:55 > 0:08:56you pass.
0:08:56 > 0:08:5822, our low score, which you...
0:08:58 > 0:08:59also pass.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02- 2. - CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:09:03 > 0:09:05That will do the job, Fred.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07- Very well done indeed.- Good score.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Yeah, well-played, Fred. Yes, you have impressed this Richard.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Indeed, Rick Santorum, he was...
0:09:12 > 0:09:14He lost out to Mitt Romney in the end.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Now, let's take a look through the rest of this.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18- Erm, Kaiser Chiefs front man, you'll know?- Ricky Wilson.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Ricky Wilson, yeah. He would have scored 16.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24The Beastie Boys' producer, he's produced all sorts of things.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27He did amazing work with Johnny Cash as well, and it's Rick Rubin.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Very well done if you said that, 2 points,
0:09:29 > 0:09:31and the best answer up on the board is the tennis player.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Terrifically well done if you said Rick Leach -
0:09:33 > 0:09:35that's a pointless answer.
0:09:35 > 0:09:36- Very well-played. - Thank you very much.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at those scores.
0:09:39 > 0:09:412, Fred. Very well done, indeed.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Best score of the pass and that puts you and your mum
0:09:43 > 0:09:45in a very comfortable position.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Then we go up to 22, where we find Alexander and Richard.
0:09:47 > 0:09:4951, Hayley and Jane.
0:09:49 > 0:09:50Lucy and Charlie, 70.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54So, Charlie, we need a low score from you.
0:09:54 > 0:09:55How did you find that board?
0:09:55 > 0:09:57- It was... I would have... That was OK.- It was OK.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Let's hope there's a nice low-scoring answer on that board
0:10:00 > 0:10:02that you know. We're going to come back down the line.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:10:07 > 0:10:09OK, let's put seven more famous Ricks and Rickys
0:10:09 > 0:10:10up on the board, and here they come.
0:10:36 > 0:10:37I'll read those all again.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01- Now then, Cathie, welcome.- Hi.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03Lovely to have you here. What do you do, Cathie?
0:11:03 > 0:11:07- I'm a solicitor.- Whereabouts do you do that?- In Finchley, North London.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10Right you are, and what are your interests aside from that?
0:11:10 > 0:11:12I love travelling. We've done quite a lot
0:11:12 > 0:11:14of extensive travelling, and when I've got
0:11:14 > 0:11:16plenty of time I love cooking.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20- Little bit of karaoke now and then. - Do you have your favourite song?
0:11:20 > 0:11:25Eh, not really. Whatever I can sing on the night!
0:11:25 > 0:11:28You're the first person to have this board.
0:11:28 > 0:11:29You want to be scoring 67 or less
0:11:29 > 0:11:32- to be sure of a place in the next round.- Right.
0:11:32 > 0:11:38I know a couple, so I'm debating which one's going to be lower.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41Think I'm going to play "spent five weeks at number one with
0:11:41 > 0:11:44- "Never Gonna Give You Up." - Never Gonna Give You Up.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47- And that was Rick Astley. - Here's your red line.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50If you can get below that with Rick Astley, you are in Round Two.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53Let's see how many people said Rick Astley.
0:11:55 > 0:11:56It's right.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01Gets you through, well done. Just 59.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Takes your total up to 61.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Yeah, it was the biggest-selling single of 1987.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09It was number one in the States.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12The first six months of his career, he was never out of the top 40.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15Rick Astley retired at 27, made so much money from it all,
0:12:15 > 0:12:17spent time with his family.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Quite a lovely story, the Rick Astley story.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23It was a nice story. He genuinely just gave it up? He DID give it up.
0:12:23 > 0:12:24- Yeah, hold on!- Hang on!
0:12:26 > 0:12:29Ah, there we are. Now, Richard, welcome.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34- So, what a cool uncle, Alexander. - Definitely.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38So how are you uncle to Alexander, what's the relationship?
0:12:38 > 0:12:41- My wife's sister is his mother. - I see, yes.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43So what do you do, Richard?
0:12:43 > 0:12:46I'm a solicitor. I work in the aviation sector.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49- Oh, that's a fun sector to work in. - It's not bad.
0:12:49 > 0:12:50So where do you do that from?
0:12:50 > 0:12:53Guildford - well-known aviation town.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55OK, and what do you do in your spare time?
0:12:55 > 0:12:58I'm a very keen cyclist, as you can probably see from my physique,
0:12:58 > 0:13:00but I'm currently training to ride
0:13:00 > 0:13:02from London to Land's End in 24 hours.
0:13:02 > 0:13:0424 hours?!
0:13:05 > 0:13:10Glad you're in training. How...? Is that...reasonable?
0:13:10 > 0:13:11Uh, I didn't think it was.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14I did 200 miles yesterday, so we're getting there.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17OK, and you're starting from London and going down?
0:13:17 > 0:13:22- So it's all downhill.- Not quite - except the uphill bits!- Brilliant.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25So there you are on 22, you have to score 47 or less.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29Yeah, rather embarrassingly for someone who shares the name,
0:13:29 > 0:13:30I don't actually know any of them,
0:13:30 > 0:13:34so I'm going to have a bit of a guess at the
0:13:34 > 0:13:36"stars as the inventor in Honey, I Shrunk The Kids"
0:13:36 > 0:13:37as Rick Moranis.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40Rick Moranis, says Richard.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44Here's your red line. Get below that and you are in Round Two.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46Complete guess?
0:13:46 > 0:13:50- 80% guess.- Well, let's see how good a guess it is. Rick Moranis.
0:13:54 > 0:13:55It's right!
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Gets you through as well.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Takes your total up to 43.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11In French it's called Cherie, J'ai Retreci Les Gosses.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14- Gosses?- Oui. - That what they call them?- Oui.
0:14:15 > 0:14:21- That's nice. Thank you very much. Now then, Jane, welcome.- Hello.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Great to have you here. What do you do, Jane?
0:14:23 > 0:14:25I'm a golf club manager, Alexander.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29- That's fun, where's that? - Burley, in the New Forest.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32- Lovely.- In Hampshire. - Very nice indeed.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35- And do you play golf as well? - I do.- Perfect.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39Which is kind of why I went into that role, I used to be an engineer.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42Wow, what sort of engineering were you doing?
0:14:42 > 0:14:46Sort of space engineering, so I'm on a second career!
0:14:46 > 0:14:49OK, gave up the rocket science and now run a golf club - how nice.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52- Yeah, it's lovely!- Perfect.- Really nice.- Very good indeed.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56So, Jane, you're on 51. You have to score 18 or less.
0:14:56 > 0:15:02Yes. I was going to go for Rick Moranis, erm...
0:15:02 > 0:15:05One just came to me just now, which is the top one.
0:15:05 > 0:15:10I hope it's right. The actor who played Bobby Grant in Brookside
0:15:10 > 0:15:13and Jim in the Royle Family, Ricky Tomlinson.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Ricky Tomlinson, says Jane.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17There's your red line, quite low,
0:15:17 > 0:15:19but let's see how far down the column you get with Ricky Tomlinson.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26It's right.
0:15:31 > 0:15:3224.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36Taking your total up to 75.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40The door is open just a chink there for Charlie and Lucy.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43- Richard?- Yeah, not a bad answer. Lot of pressure now on Charlie.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46He's just opened a dog grooming parlour in Liverpool,
0:15:46 > 0:15:48- Ricky Tomlinson.- He really has?
0:15:48 > 0:15:51Yes, he has, with his wife.
0:15:51 > 0:15:52Interesting.
0:15:52 > 0:15:56Charlie, here's your task, you have to score four or less.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59I think you can probably do it. Charlie, what do you do?
0:15:59 > 0:16:02I work in a financial services firm. I basically have to go out
0:16:02 > 0:16:05raising money to allow my partners to spend money.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10- You must be very popular. - From time-to-time, I am.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12And what are your interests, Charlie, aside from that?
0:16:12 > 0:16:14I play tennis, I do tobogganing,
0:16:14 > 0:16:19I do a thing called the Cresta Run, which involves lying on
0:16:19 > 0:16:24a tea tray at considerable speeds, going down, up to about 70mph.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27- That's quite scary. - It's scary, it's scary.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30And, of course, there's no backing out of it.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32First time you do it, and there's no
0:16:32 > 0:16:35braking really, and you can come out.
0:16:35 > 0:16:36If you fall out of a corner,
0:16:36 > 0:16:39you throw away your toboggan and hope you land safely.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44- That's...- You're very welcome to do it, anyone can come and do it.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46- LAUGHTER - Thank you.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48I don't know if I... Lucy, have you done it?
0:16:48 > 0:16:49Yeah, I've done it once.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53- Would you do it again?- I'd have to get a lot of Dutch courage.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56I was thinking, that's about the only way you'd get me down there.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58OK, so, Charlie, we need four or less from you.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00The board is all yours. Talk us through it.
0:17:00 > 0:17:04I actually know none. I knew the three that have gone,
0:17:04 > 0:17:07but I know none of the others, so I'm going to have to have
0:17:07 > 0:17:09a wild guess, the T4 and Tool Academy presenter
0:17:09 > 0:17:10as being Ricky Jones.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Ricky Jones, says Charlie.
0:17:12 > 0:17:13There is your red line.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16If you get below that with Ricky Jones, you're in Round Two.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Let's see how many people said Ricky Jones, if it's right.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25But it's not. I'm afraid it's not.
0:17:25 > 0:17:30Ricky Jones, not he, takes your total up to 170.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33Not Ricky Jones, it's a gentleman who's been on this show.
0:17:33 > 0:17:34Rick Edwards.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38Would have scored you two points as well, would have seen you through.
0:17:38 > 0:17:42You would tied with the bottom score as well, the Pop Idol contestant.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44- You probably don't remember - Rik Waller.- Oh, of course.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47Who would have scored you five.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49Co-creator of The Young Ones was, of course...
0:17:49 > 0:17:50- BOTH:- Rik Mayall.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54Would have scored 37. And the American talk show host? Ricki Lake.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56Of course.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58So Rick Edwards the best answer on that board.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01Well done if you got that at home. Well done, Rick Edwards.
0:18:01 > 0:18:02Thank you very much indeed.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05So at the end of our first round, I'm afraid the pair
0:18:05 > 0:18:08heading home with a high score of 170, it's Charlie and Lucy.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11We hardly got a chance to see you, but we'll see you again next time.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13We'll look forward to that very much.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15I'm sure you'll do much better but, Charlie and Lucy,
0:18:15 > 0:18:17- thanks very much for playing. - Thank you.
0:18:17 > 0:18:18APPLAUSE
0:18:20 > 0:18:24But for the three remaining pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:18:28 > 0:18:29And then there were three pairs.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32Obviously, at the end of this round, we will have to say goodbye
0:18:32 > 0:18:34to another pair in time for our head-to-head round.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38But well done to Fred, excellent. Rick Santorum,
0:18:38 > 0:18:40fabulous answer, lowest score of the round.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42Well done to Richard and Alexander,
0:18:42 > 0:18:44our lowest combined score of the round.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47And phew - Hayley and Jane, well done.
0:18:47 > 0:18:48You scraped through.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52Best of luck to all three pairs. Our category for Round Two today is...
0:18:55 > 0:18:58Can you all decide in your pairs, who's going to go first,
0:18:58 > 0:18:59who's going to go second?
0:18:59 > 0:19:02And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06OK, let's find out what the question is.
0:19:06 > 0:19:11Here it comes. We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:19:20 > 0:19:21Richard.
0:19:21 > 0:19:25Yep, we're simply looking for any Olympics from 1960 through to 2012,
0:19:25 > 0:19:27the nationality of the winner of the marathon,
0:19:27 > 0:19:29the 10,000 metres or the 5,000 metres, please.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32So the men's marathon, 10,000 metres or 5,000 metres.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35We won't accept the UK, but apart from that, any other country.
0:19:35 > 0:19:36Very best of luck.
0:19:36 > 0:19:43- Thanks very much indeed. So, Jane. - Hello.- What are you going to go for?
0:19:43 > 0:19:50Um, it's not my topic really, but I would say possibly Ethiopia.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53Ethiopia, says Jane. Let's see if that's right
0:19:53 > 0:19:55and how many of our 100 people said Ethiopia.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01It's right.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10Very well done, 52 for Ethiopia.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13Yeah, a real powerhouse of distance running, Haile Gebrselassie,
0:20:13 > 0:20:17Kenenisa Bekele, an extraordinary nation for long-distance running.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19Thanks, Richard. Now, Richard...
0:20:20 > 0:20:23I'm going to say...Kenya.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25Let's see how many of our 100 people said Kenya.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32It's right. Well, 52 for Ethiopia,
0:20:32 > 0:20:34you've passed that.
0:20:36 > 0:20:37Not bad.
0:20:39 > 0:20:40Yeah, we're gradually getting those
0:20:40 > 0:20:42really obvious ones out the way, aren't we?
0:20:42 > 0:20:44So the rest of the round should be more fun.
0:20:44 > 0:20:49- Yeah, one gold medal in each of those events for Kenya.- Thanks very much.
0:20:49 > 0:20:50Now, Cathie...
0:20:50 > 0:20:54I have to be honest and say I'm struggling a bit here
0:20:54 > 0:20:57because I had Ethiopia, I had Kenya,
0:20:57 > 0:21:01so I'm just going to have to take a bit of a stab and hope it's right.
0:21:01 > 0:21:06- And I'm going to play South Africa. - South Africa, says Cathie.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Little bit of a nod there from Alexander.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10A slow nod from Richard while he was contemplating it.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13We don't know what that means yet. Let's see if South Africa's right,
0:21:13 > 0:21:15let's see how many people said it.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21It's right. That's what that meant.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27Well, it's our lowest score so far by quite a margin. Very well done.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29- APPLAUSE - 16 for South Africa.
0:21:32 > 0:21:33Well-played, Cathie.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36Of course, you're thinking of Josiah Thugwane, who won
0:21:36 > 0:21:40- the marathon in the Atlanta Olympics. - Absolutely, Richard. Know him well.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43Thank you. We're halfway through the round. Let's look at the scores.
0:21:43 > 0:21:4616, the best score of the pass, Cathie, well done.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48Cathie and Fred, once again, looking pretty strong.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50Then up to 48, where we find Richard and Alexander.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Up to 52, Jane and Hayley.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56So, Hayley, get thinking of a nice low-scoring answer if you can.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Let's hope that's enough to keep you in the game.
0:21:58 > 0:21:59We're going to come back down the line.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:22:04 > 0:22:05OK. So, Fred,
0:22:05 > 0:22:09we had a fabulous low score of 2 from you in the last round.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Let's see if we can do something like that again.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14We're looking for the name of any country for which a male athlete
0:22:14 > 0:22:17won an Olympic gold in a long-distance running event.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20OK. Yep, the obvious ones have gone, haven't they?
0:22:20 > 0:22:24So, I think I'm going to have to take a bit of a stab here.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28- I'm going to go with Zambia. - Zambia, says Fred.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30There is your red line. Get below that and you are through
0:22:30 > 0:22:33to the head-to-head. Let's see if Zambia's right
0:22:33 > 0:22:35and, if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:22:40 > 0:22:41Oh, I'm sorry, Fred.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer there.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46Scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 116.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48You may still be through, you never know.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Zambia have actually only ever won two medals
0:22:50 > 0:22:52and neither of them gold.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55One of them was hurdles, but no long-distance running, I'm afraid.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Thanks very much indeed. Now, Alexander.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03Alexander, you have to score 67 or less.
0:23:03 > 0:23:04I think I've got one good answer.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08The winner of the London 2012 marathon was from Uganda,
0:23:08 > 0:23:10- so that's going to be my answer. - Uganda, says Alexander.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13Here's your red line. Let's see if you can get below that with Uganda.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15How many of our 100 people said Uganda?
0:23:20 > 0:23:22Absolutely right, of course.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24And through you go. Well done.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28That's a great answer. 6.
0:23:28 > 0:23:29APPLAUSE
0:23:29 > 0:23:3154, your total.
0:23:34 > 0:23:35Well-played, Alexander.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37Richard and Alexander are doing well, aren't they?
0:23:37 > 0:23:39- Who would have thought?! - I know.- Blimey O'Reilly.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41You are absolutely right.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44Stephen Kiprotich, who won the 2012 marathon in London.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Thanks, Richard. Now, Hayley.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50- Hayley.- Yes.- How are you feeling about this round as a whole?
0:23:50 > 0:23:53It's a bit of a nightmare, to be honest with you.
0:23:53 > 0:23:54Is it going to be a guess?
0:23:54 > 0:23:58- I think I'm going to have to take a really big risk.- OK.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00- Well, you have to score 63.- Right.
0:24:02 > 0:24:06I'm going to stay with Africa and just choose a country,
0:24:06 > 0:24:10- so I'm going to choose Sudan. - Sudan, says Hayley, Sudan.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15Here's your red line.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21No, I'm afraid, not Sudan.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25I'm afraid that scores 100 points, takes your total up to 152.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28Yeah, there's another very, very good African answer out there.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30Winner of 5,000 metres in 1996.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33Very well done if you said Burundi, that is a pointless answer.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Burundi have only ever won one medal
0:24:35 > 0:24:37and it was that, it was a gold in the 5,000.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40Other good answers, you'd have got 1 for South Korea -
0:24:40 > 0:24:41they had a marathon winner.
0:24:41 > 0:24:442 points for Portugal, again, another marathon winner.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46Tunisia would have scored you 2. 3 for East Germany.
0:24:46 > 0:24:50You'd have got 7 for New Zealand, 8 for Italy, 8 for USSR.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53You'd have got 9 for Finland, Lasse Viren, of course.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55You'd have got 10 for Germany, Dieter Baumann.
0:24:55 > 0:24:5912 for Morocco and the top three, we've already heard two of them...
0:25:07 > 0:25:08Thanks very much indeed.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10At the end of our second round, the pair heading home
0:25:10 > 0:25:14with their high score of 152, I'm afraid, Hayley and Jane, it is you.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Not a bad performance, though,
0:25:16 > 0:25:18and we'll look forward to seeing more of you next time.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21But, meantime, thanks very much, Hayley and Jane.
0:25:21 > 0:25:22APPLAUSE
0:25:25 > 0:25:27But, for Fred and Cathie and Richard and Alexander,
0:25:27 > 0:25:29it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:25:29 > 0:25:30APPLAUSE
0:25:34 > 0:25:37Congratulations Richard and Alexander, Fred and Cathie,
0:25:37 > 0:25:40you're now one step closer to the final and a chance to play
0:25:40 > 0:25:43for our jackpot, which currently stands at £3,000.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45- There it is. - APPLAUSE
0:25:47 > 0:25:50Well, what were the chances of that? Richard and Alexander,
0:25:50 > 0:25:53our golden couple, the lowest scoring pair,
0:25:53 > 0:25:54here in the head-to-head round.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58Fred and Cathie, have you ever considered changing your names maybe?
0:25:58 > 0:26:00We're doing it next week.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03It's interesting cos actually we were originally called
0:26:03 > 0:26:05Fred and Cathie. We changed our names as well.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07Anyway, it's going to be very exciting.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11APPLAUSE
0:26:15 > 0:26:18OK, here's your first question and it concerns...
0:26:22 > 0:26:27- Masked Musicians.- Correct.- Wow.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29Anything there you need help with?
0:26:29 > 0:26:32I'm just wondering what it's going to be, that's all.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35- Well, you know musicians?- Uh-huh. - And you know masks?- Yep.- OK.
0:26:35 > 0:26:40- Well, we're going to show you five pictures of musicians...- Yeah-huh.
0:26:40 > 0:26:41- ..in masks...- Get out!
0:26:41 > 0:26:44..and Richard and Alexander, and Fred and Cathie, are going to try
0:26:44 > 0:26:46and choose the most obscure -
0:26:46 > 0:26:49that's the one that fewest of our 100 people said -
0:26:49 > 0:26:51- and the team that does that will win a point.- Yeah.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53The first team to two points will be going through
0:26:53 > 0:26:57- to play for the jackpot.- Fantastic. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59And here they are. We have...
0:27:20 > 0:27:23- It's all become abundantly clear to me now, thank you.- Good.
0:27:23 > 0:27:24It's all fine.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26So, Richard and Alexander, you've been our low scorers
0:27:26 > 0:27:28so you get to go first.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33Well, I've been quite lucky on this round
0:27:33 > 0:27:35cos I've actually seen D.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38I think I have, anyway. It's SBTRKT.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42SBTRKT, say Richard and Alexander. SBTRKT.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45Well done, Richard. I like that you knew that.
0:27:45 > 0:27:49- Fred and Cathie, the board is yours. - Right. We know them all.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53Well, we didn't know SBTRKT, but we can subtract that one.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56Yes, I think... Which ones do you know?
0:27:57 > 0:27:59I know C but I think that's very obvious.
0:27:59 > 0:28:03- I know E but, again, I think... - I think they're the obvious.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05They're very famous.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08- I think B. Happy to go B?- Yes. - OK, we'll go B, Frank Sidebottom.
0:28:09 > 0:28:15B, Frank Sidebottom. So, we have SBTRKT and we have Frank Sidebottom.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18Richard and Alexander have gone for SBTRKT for D.
0:28:18 > 0:28:19Let's see that's right and,
0:28:19 > 0:28:21if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34- APPLAUSE - Look at that, 1!
0:28:34 > 0:28:35Very well done indeed.
0:28:37 > 0:28:411 of our 100 people knew SBTRKT. Good work.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44Now, Fred and Cathie have gone for Frank Sidebottom for B.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46Let's see if that's right,
0:28:46 > 0:28:48and, if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:29:00 > 0:29:01- 12. - APPLAUSE
0:29:03 > 0:29:07An excellent score. But no match, I'm afraid, for SBTRKT.
0:29:07 > 0:29:08Well done, Alexander.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11That means, after one question, Richard and Alexander are up 1-0.
0:29:11 > 0:29:15Yeah, the two best answers, actually, so well-played both teams there.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18SBTRKT, that genuinely looks like a rack of letters in Scrabble,
0:29:18 > 0:29:19doesn't it, his name?
0:29:20 > 0:29:22A is Daft Punk, of course...
0:29:23 > 0:29:25..would have scored you 27.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29David Bowie is a very big scorer,
0:29:29 > 0:29:34biggest scorer of all, would have scored you 84.
0:29:34 > 0:29:35And Kiss at the end there...
0:29:37 > 0:29:39..would have scored you 59.
0:29:39 > 0:29:42Thanks very much indeed. Now, here comes your second question.
0:29:42 > 0:29:45Fred and Cathie, you get to answer it first.
0:29:45 > 0:29:47But you have to win it to stay in the game, so best of luck.
0:29:47 > 0:29:48It concerns...
0:29:51 > 0:29:54Sweet Shop Sweets. Sweet Shop Sweets, Richard.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57We're going to show you five types of sweet that you might find
0:29:57 > 0:29:59in a sweet shop but, accidentally,
0:29:59 > 0:30:01we've scrambled them up so that they're anagrams.
0:30:01 > 0:30:04- I'm sorry about that. You need to tell us what they are, please.- OK.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06Let's reveal our five anagrams and here they come.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18I'll read those all one last time.
0:30:23 > 0:30:28- So, yes, Fred and Cathie, you'll go first.- Right. OK.
0:30:28 > 0:30:34I know the bottom one. Not sure if we have any of the others.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37OK, I think, yeah, it's going to be the bottom one cos I know it.
0:30:37 > 0:30:41- We're going to go for gobstopper. - Gobstopper, say Fred and Cathie.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44Gobstopper. Now then, Richard and Alexander, over to you.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46Second one... The second one is...
0:30:46 > 0:30:49- Do you want to talk us through the board?- Only got two of them.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52The second one's, I think, jellybean. Third one's bubble gum.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55So, we'll have to take one of those. Which do you think?
0:30:55 > 0:30:58- Go for the second one. - Jellybeans.- Jellybeans.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00OK, jellybeans, say Richard and Alexander.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02So, we have gobstopper versus jellybeans.
0:31:02 > 0:31:05Fred and Cathie said gobstopper.
0:31:05 > 0:31:06Let's see if that's right and,
0:31:06 > 0:31:09if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:31:12 > 0:31:13It's right.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20- APPLAUSE - 16, very well done indeed.
0:31:22 > 0:31:26That's a great score. Will jellybeans beat that, I wonder?
0:31:26 > 0:31:28Let's see how many people said jellybeans.
0:31:32 > 0:31:33It's right.
0:31:36 > 0:31:37- 52. - APPLAUSE
0:31:37 > 0:31:39That's a high score.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42Well done, Fred and Cathie, back in the game.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44- After two questions, it's 1-1. - Another very good answer.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46Again, you've got the second best answer on the board.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49There is one that would beat it. We'll do that one last
0:31:49 > 0:31:51because bubble gum is correct.
0:31:51 > 0:31:54Bubble gum would have scored you 32.
0:31:54 > 0:31:55Do you know DRAPE PROS?
0:31:58 > 0:32:00- Pear drops.- Oh!
0:32:02 > 0:32:06Pear drops would have scored you 24. The best answer is the top one.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09It's 2 points. I like these.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12- Got it. Cola bottles.- Cola bottles.
0:32:13 > 0:32:17- 2 points.- There we are. Thank you very much indeed.
0:32:17 > 0:32:19OK, here comes your third question.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22Whoever wins this goes through to the final and plays for the jackpot.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24Best of luck to both pairs. It concerns...
0:32:27 > 0:32:29Phrases That Contain I Am. Richard.
0:32:29 > 0:32:32Going to give you five clues to answers, all of which contain
0:32:32 > 0:32:35the phrase "I am." Whichever team gives us the best score is going
0:32:35 > 0:32:37through to play for the jackpot, so best of luck.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40OK, let's reveal our five clues and here they are.
0:33:05 > 0:33:06I'll read those all one last time.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30Richard and Alexander, you go first.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32- THEY WHISPER:- Which ones do you know? - I know the second one
0:33:32 > 0:33:35- and the third one. - What's the second one?- I Am Zlatan.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38- Which do you think? - I'd go for that one.- OK.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40We're going to go for the second one down,
0:33:40 > 0:33:42which I'm hoping is I Am Zlatan.
0:33:42 > 0:33:43I Am Zlatan.
0:33:43 > 0:33:47OK. Now, Fred and Cathie...
0:33:47 > 0:33:49- talk us through the board. - We know a couple, I think.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51So, I Am A Cider Drinker is The Wurzels.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54The Black Eyed Peas is will.i.am.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56Not sure about the Sean Penn film,
0:33:56 > 0:33:59which leaves us with the Richard Matheson novel.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02We're going to go for I Am Legend.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05I Am Legend. So, we have I Am Zlatan, say Richard and Alexander.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07Let's see if that's right and,
0:34:07 > 0:34:10if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said I Am Zlatan.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14It's right.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21- 6. - APPLAUSE
0:34:24 > 0:34:256 for I Am Zlatan.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27Now then, Fred and Cathie, meanwhile,
0:34:27 > 0:34:28have gone for I Am Legend.
0:34:28 > 0:34:32Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said I Am Legend.
0:34:36 > 0:34:37It's right.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44- APPLAUSE - 10.
0:34:45 > 0:34:4810. Two excellent scores there.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51But, Richard and Alexander, very well done to you.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53After three questions, you are through to the final 2-1.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55Yeah, two terrific answers there.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58In some countries also would have scored I Am Zlatan Ibrahimovic
0:34:58 > 0:35:00but whatever you call it, it's a terrific read.
0:35:00 > 0:35:04I mean, genuinely he's quite a character, I think it's safe to say.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06Will.i.am is the answer to the top one, of course -
0:35:06 > 0:35:08the judge on The Voice and the Black Eyed Pea -
0:35:08 > 0:35:12would have scored you 79. And you're right about I Am A Cider Drinker.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18Would have scored you 18. Now, you'd have got through to the final
0:35:18 > 0:35:20if you'd answered this last one.
0:35:20 > 0:35:21It's I Am Sam...
0:35:23 > 0:35:24..would have scored 4 points.
0:35:25 > 0:35:28Thanks very much indeed. So, the pair leaving us
0:35:28 > 0:35:31at the end of the head-to-head round are Fred and Cathie.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34What an exciting head-to-head. Very, very close.
0:35:34 > 0:35:35I mean, some brilliant answers.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38This all bodes well for your next appearance on the show,
0:35:38 > 0:35:40when I'm sure you'll make it this far, maybe even further.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42But thanks very much, meantime, Fred and Cathie.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44APPLAUSE
0:35:46 > 0:35:49But for Richard and Alexander, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54Congratulations, Richard and Alexander.
0:35:54 > 0:35:56You've seen off all the competition and you've won our
0:35:56 > 0:35:58coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:36:06 > 0:36:10and, at the end today's show, the jackpot stands at £3,000.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12APPLAUSE
0:36:14 > 0:36:17Well, brilliant team effort there. Fantastic play.
0:36:17 > 0:36:19We started off with famous Ricks and Rickys,
0:36:19 > 0:36:21then we had long-distance runners,
0:36:21 > 0:36:25then we had masked musicians, then we had sweet shop sweets jumbled up
0:36:25 > 0:36:27and then we finished off with famous I ams
0:36:27 > 0:36:30and you've been our low scorers in every single round. Best of luck.
0:36:30 > 0:36:32As you know, you get to choose your category
0:36:32 > 0:36:34from the four we put up on the board.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36Let's hope there's something up there you like the look of today.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47- No idea what a Single-word Prize-winner is.- No.
0:36:47 > 0:36:51- Tyne And Wear's probably out, isn't it?- Probably.- 1960s Music's out.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54- Are we good that?- No.- I think we'll just have to go for Italian Sport.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57- You agree?- Go for it. - We'll go for Italian sport.
0:36:57 > 0:36:58Italian Sport it is.
0:36:58 > 0:37:00OK. Good luck. Three very different sports here -
0:37:00 > 0:37:01hopefully one of these suits you.
0:37:01 > 0:37:06We are looking for any Italian winner of the Tour de France,
0:37:06 > 0:37:09that's from all the way from 1903 up to 2013,
0:37:09 > 0:37:12any Italian Davis Cup player since 2000...
0:37:13 > 0:37:17..or any managers of Serie A champions since 1983-1984
0:37:17 > 0:37:20and that's up to the 2012-2013 season.
0:37:20 > 0:37:25So, Tour de France winners, Davis Cup players or Serie A managers, please.
0:37:25 > 0:37:26Very best of luck.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29So, you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers
0:37:29 > 0:37:32all you need to win the jackpot is for just one of those answers
0:37:32 > 0:37:34- to be pointless. Are you ready? - We are.- Yes.
0:37:34 > 0:37:37OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock. There they are.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39Your time starts now.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42- So, Italian winner of the Tour de France? Fausto Coppi.- OK.
0:37:42 > 0:37:46- I've got a Davis Cup player, could be Fabio Fognini.- OK, yeah.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48- He's probably my best answer. - What else? Anything else?
0:37:49 > 0:37:51No. Nothing.
0:37:51 > 0:37:53Italian winners of the Tour de France...
0:37:55 > 0:37:57Gianni Bugno, is it?
0:37:57 > 0:37:59Can't remember if that's his actual name, though,
0:37:59 > 0:38:02so I might be getting the name wrong.
0:38:02 > 0:38:04Shall I just go for an Italian cyclist?
0:38:04 > 0:38:06I can't see anything wrong with doing that.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08Unless you can think of any Serie A?
0:38:09 > 0:38:11No. I don't think so.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13- Not my sort of area. - No. OK, so...
0:38:14 > 0:38:16- Fausto Coppi.- OK.
0:38:17 > 0:38:19- Then another cyclist?- Gianni Bugno?
0:38:19 > 0:38:22- Can we go for Fognini? - Yes. Absolutely.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25- OK, so we've got those three. - Yep, OK.- OK.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27- Are you happy?- I think we're happy, hopefully.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29- Happy for us to stop the clock?- Yep.- Very good.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32That's the kind of confidence we like.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35Richard and Alexander, what three answers are you going to go for?
0:38:35 > 0:38:39- We've got two Tour de France. One is Fausto Coppi.- Fausto Coppi.
0:38:39 > 0:38:43- One is Gianni Bugno, who may or may not exist.- Gianni Bugno.
0:38:43 > 0:38:47And the Italian Davis Cup player since 2000 is Fabio Fognini.
0:38:47 > 0:38:48Fabio Fognini.
0:38:48 > 0:38:51Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:51 > 0:38:55- I'd say Fausto Coppi. - Fausto Coppi, we'll put last.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57- Fognini in the middle. - Fognini in the middle.
0:38:57 > 0:39:01- And then...?- Gianni Bugno.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04Gianni Bugno at the top, of course, as you would.
0:39:04 > 0:39:06Let's pop those answers up on the board in that order
0:39:06 > 0:39:09and here they are. We have got...
0:39:15 > 0:39:16Well, very best of luck.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18Three great-looking answers up there -
0:39:18 > 0:39:21let's hope one of those is pointless and wins that jackpot for you.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23Three grand, quite a nice jackpot now.
0:39:23 > 0:39:24Richard, what would you do with that?
0:39:24 > 0:39:27I'd probably spend it on my wife and children,
0:39:27 > 0:39:28is the answer I've been told to give.
0:39:28 > 0:39:29LAUGHTER
0:39:29 > 0:39:32And you got that absolutely word perfect.
0:39:32 > 0:39:34OK, Alexander, how about you?
0:39:34 > 0:39:37I'm going travelling with some friends around Europe
0:39:37 > 0:39:40on the train next year, so might upgrade a few of the hostels
0:39:40 > 0:39:43to hotels and see how that goes.
0:39:43 > 0:39:45Very good. Well, as I say, very best of luck.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48Your first answer, the one you thought was probably least likely
0:39:48 > 0:39:50to be pointless, is Gianni Bugno.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52In this case, we were looking for a Tour de France winner.
0:39:52 > 0:39:56An Italian Tour de France winner. Let's see if it's right, for £3,000.
0:39:56 > 0:39:58Is it pointless? Gianni Bugno.
0:40:03 > 0:40:06Well, you weren't entirely sure, it was a bit of a punt.
0:40:06 > 0:40:07As it turns out, an incorrect answer,
0:40:07 > 0:40:09so, obviously, not pointless.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11Only two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:40:11 > 0:40:13Your second answer was Fabio Fognini.
0:40:13 > 0:40:16In this case, we were looking for Italian Davis Cup players.
0:40:16 > 0:40:18Let's see if that's right, Fabio Fognini,
0:40:18 > 0:40:21and, if it is, let's see how many people said it for £3,000.
0:40:21 > 0:40:22Is Fabio Fognini pointless?
0:40:26 > 0:40:28Well, it's right.
0:40:28 > 0:40:32Your first answer, Gianni Bugno, was incorrect but Fabio Fognini,
0:40:32 > 0:40:33absolutely right.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35Taking us down through the 20s and into the teens.
0:40:35 > 0:40:37Into single figures, still going down...
0:40:37 > 0:40:38Oh! 3.
0:40:38 > 0:40:40APPLAUSE
0:40:42 > 0:40:44Well done, Alex.
0:40:44 > 0:40:473, that's an excellent score, whichever way you look at it,
0:40:47 > 0:40:50but, sadly, not a pointless answer, which means you only have
0:40:50 > 0:40:52one last shot at today's jackpot.
0:40:52 > 0:40:55Everything now rides on your third and final answer, Fausto Coppi.
0:40:55 > 0:40:59Again, we are looking at Italian winners of the Tour de France.
0:40:59 > 0:41:01It has to be right for you to win the jackpot,
0:41:01 > 0:41:03then it has to be pointless.
0:41:03 > 0:41:06Let's see, for £3,000, how many people said Fausto Coppi.
0:41:10 > 0:41:12It's right.
0:41:12 > 0:41:16Your first answer, Gianni Bugno, was incorrect, your second answer
0:41:16 > 0:41:20Fabio Fognini, was absolutely right but took us down to 3.
0:41:20 > 0:41:23Your final answer Fausto Coppi now taking us down to...
0:41:23 > 0:41:26- Oh, you've done it! - CHEERING
0:41:26 > 0:41:29Superb. Very, very well done. Congratulations.
0:41:29 > 0:41:30That's how you do it.
0:41:34 > 0:41:36Well, congratulations.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39Fausto Coppi was a pointless answer, which means you go home
0:41:39 > 0:41:41with today's jackpot of £3,000.
0:41:41 > 0:41:43Very well done indeed.
0:41:43 > 0:41:44APPLAUSE
0:41:48 > 0:41:50That's terrific, gents. Very well-played. And I...
0:41:50 > 0:41:52Honestly, Xander and I are both really pleased that
0:41:52 > 0:41:55Richard and Alexander came on and they got through.
0:41:55 > 0:41:56Well, I am, anyway.
0:41:56 > 0:41:59Gianni Bugno, also a very good answer but never won the Tour de France.
0:41:59 > 0:42:02Came second, so it's a good answer, in the early '90s.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04There's pointless answers in each of these categories -
0:42:04 > 0:42:06let's take a look at them.
0:42:06 > 0:42:08For the Tour de France winners, there's Fausto Coppi,
0:42:08 > 0:42:09won it twice, of course.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12Coppi, one of the greatest cyclists of all time.
0:42:12 > 0:42:16Felice Gimondi, Gastone Nencini and, from the '20s, Ottavio Bottecchia.
0:42:16 > 0:42:18Very well done if you said that.
0:42:18 > 0:42:20You could also have had Gino Bartali, as well.
0:42:20 > 0:42:22Let's take a look at the Davis Cup players.
0:42:22 > 0:42:26Of course, Fognini beat Murray in 2014,
0:42:26 > 0:42:27which is why people remember him.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30Bolelli, Lorenzi, Davide Sanguinetti. Andreas Seppi, as well,
0:42:30 > 0:42:33who was in that same team as Fognini.
0:42:33 > 0:42:36You also could have had Gaudenzi, you could have had Bracciali,
0:42:36 > 0:42:38Nargiso, Starace and Santopadre.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40Well done if you said any of those.
0:42:40 > 0:42:44And the Serie A managers, Sacchi, there's some big names here.
0:42:44 > 0:42:48Giovanni Trapattoni, Massimiliano Allegria, Roberto Mancini,
0:42:48 > 0:42:49a pointless answer.
0:42:49 > 0:42:51Also could have had Bigon,
0:42:51 > 0:42:53Zaccheroni, Bagnoli, Bianchi and Boskov.
0:42:53 > 0:42:55Well done if you got any of those.
0:42:55 > 0:42:59Lovely category for sports fans and our first ever Richard and Alexander.
0:42:59 > 0:43:02Worthy winners. Never ever in doubt for a second.
0:43:03 > 0:43:06Well, thanks once again to those worthy winners,
0:43:06 > 0:43:07Richard and Alexander, who go away
0:43:07 > 0:43:10with today's jackpot of £3,000. Very well done.
0:43:10 > 0:43:12APPLAUSE
0:43:13 > 0:43:15Join us next time,
0:43:15 > 0:43:18when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.
0:43:18 > 0:43:20- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...- Goodbye.
0:43:20 > 0:43:22..and it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
