0:00:18 > 0:00:21APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:00:21 > 0:00:22Thank you very much, indeed.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:25 > 0:00:28the show where we're always striving to find the most obscure answers.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30Let's meet today's players.
0:00:30 > 0:00:31APPLAUSE
0:00:34 > 0:00:37- And couple number one. - I'm Jen, this is Mikkaila.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39We're best friends and we live in southeast London.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42- Couple number two.- Hello, I'm Jack, this is my twin brother, Tom.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45I live in Edinburgh and he lives in Manchester.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48- Couple number three.- Hi, I'm Sarah, this is my partner, Nick.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51- And we live in Wigan. - And, finally, couple number four.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Hello, I'm Karen and this is my splendid friend, Sue.
0:00:54 > 0:00:55And we're from Birmingham.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57And these are today's contestants.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59APPLAUSE
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Thanks very much, all of you, we'll find out more about you
0:01:01 > 0:01:03throughout the show as it goes along.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06So, that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10If this man were a superhero then ignorance would be his kryptonite.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12And the glasses would definitely stay on.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15- It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.- Hiya. Hey, everybody.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18APPLAUSE
0:01:20 > 0:01:23And I'm also wearing latex tights.
0:01:23 > 0:01:24LAUGHTER
0:01:24 > 0:01:28Now, that last show, we've got two returning pairs who had very,
0:01:28 > 0:01:31very different shows. We've got Jen and Mikkaila,
0:01:31 > 0:01:33who got through to the head-to-head, did very, very well
0:01:33 > 0:01:36but on podium four, there, we had Sue and Karen
0:01:36 > 0:01:38- who we only saw very briefly, didn't we?- Mm.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42And Karen made the slight error of thinking that Yugoslavia still existed.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45It was news to the United Nations, I have to say.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48They've been on the phone, just checking that it doesn't.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50I can tell you, it still doesn't.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54But Jen and Mikkaila got knocked out by Aoife and Eoghan.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Who then had a question about World Cups,
0:01:56 > 0:02:00World Cup football, and Eoghan came up with a brilliant Pointless answer
0:02:00 > 0:02:04and then neglected to say it when he was giving his three answers.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07There it is. Look at you lot pretending to be gutted.
0:02:07 > 0:02:08LAUGHTER
0:02:08 > 0:02:11Thanks very much indeed. So, as you've gathered,
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Aoife and Eoghan didn't win the jackpot last time, so we add
0:02:13 > 0:02:18another £1,000 to that, so today's jackpot starts off at £2,250.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21APPLAUSE
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:27 > 0:02:28APPLAUSE
0:02:28 > 0:02:29OK, now, remember,
0:02:29 > 0:02:32the pair with the highest score at the end of each round will be
0:02:32 > 0:02:35eliminated, so do everything you can to make sure that is not your pair.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Our first category today is...
0:02:41 > 0:02:43World geography.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first and second.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:02:53 > 0:02:58We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:03:01 > 0:03:02..as they could.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06One-word countries with nine or more letters in their names. Richard.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09We're looking for any country of the world whose usual short form
0:03:09 > 0:03:11name in English contains nine letters or more.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14As always, by country, we mean a sovereign state
0:03:14 > 0:03:16that's a member of the UN in its own right. Very best of luck.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20- OK, thank you very much indeed. - Are you thinking?- Yeah, I am.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24- That's a lot of letters.- Nine. - Yeah.- It's nine letters.- It's...
0:03:25 > 0:03:29- Exactly that.- Think of eight, add another one. That's how I do it.
0:03:30 > 0:03:36- Well, there we are. Nine letters or more. Jen, phwoar! Nine!- Nine.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Feel like I'm going to have to count on my fingers.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41- Oh, I'm counting, I was doing it quietly.- That's good.
0:03:41 > 0:03:42Now, Jen, remind us what you do.
0:03:42 > 0:03:47- I'm a drama and theatre student from southeast London.- Indeed you are.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49And you're involved in performance as well.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52- I am, indeed.- What sort of things are you up to at the moment,
0:03:52 > 0:03:55- have you got anything planned?- I'm planning a few things at the moment.
0:03:55 > 0:04:00I've got a couple of shows coming up but it can change like on a dime,
0:04:00 > 0:04:02to be honest, so you never know what's going to come up next.
0:04:02 > 0:04:07- And what other things do you do? - I go to the cinema a lot.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10- And I also read a fair bit. - Aren't you in a choir?
0:04:10 > 0:04:13- I am in a choir, yes.- But you're in a choir that sort of makes noises?
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Yeah, we do make noises more than we sing.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17I mean, obviously, singing is a kind of noise but...
0:04:17 > 0:04:20- Yeah, essentially... - ..particularly with some choirs.
0:04:20 > 0:04:21What we do is soundscapes.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25And we have a couple of members who can beatbox, not myself.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29And just various things like that, so it's a little bit off-kilter,
0:04:29 > 0:04:31little bit strange but we do... We can all sing, as well.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34- But when you do noise things, is that written down?- No.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37So, you're not following a... You haven't got a score for noise?
0:04:37 > 0:04:40- I wish we did.- That would be fun, scoring noise.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44- Scoring noise, now there's an album. - Yeah, scoring noise.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47I used to human beatbox, of course, way back in the day, didn't I?
0:04:47 > 0:04:50What do you mean used to, I heard you just before the show?
0:04:50 > 0:04:53I don't do it so much. I used to be a beatbox for Eric B and Rakim.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55I was their guy, I don't do it any more.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Old School US east-coast hip-hop, really,
0:04:57 > 0:04:59those were the guys I used to run with.
0:04:59 > 0:05:00Richard did time, you know?
0:05:00 > 0:05:03I didn't do anything but I knew someone who'd done something
0:05:03 > 0:05:05and I would never cos I don't grass.
0:05:06 > 0:05:07He don't grass.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10And now not allowed back in the US, which is...
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Not allowed back in the US, one of the many countries
0:05:13 > 0:05:15from which I am currently banned.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17And by country we mean a sovereign state that's also...
0:05:17 > 0:05:18LAUGHTER
0:05:18 > 0:05:21..recognised by the UN in its own right. Jen.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23OK, I'm going to just do a quick...
0:05:28 > 0:05:31- Uzbekistan.- Yeah, Uzbekistan. Let's see if it's right,
0:05:31 > 0:05:34let's see how many of our 100 people said Uzbekistan.
0:05:38 > 0:05:39It's right.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45- 27. - APPLAUSE
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Good start to the round, Jen. Uzbekistan.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53Yeah, ten letters there. Hurdling high over the bar.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57The fourth largest gold reserves in the world in Uzbekistan.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00Thanks very much indeed. Now, Jack, welcome to the show.
0:06:00 > 0:06:01What do you do, Jack?
0:06:01 > 0:06:04I'm an international tourism management student in Edinburgh.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Right. Do you get to do lots of international tourism yourself
0:06:07 > 0:06:08as part of the course?
0:06:08 > 0:06:10I try to do... Well, not part of the course
0:06:10 > 0:06:13but I try to do as much as possible by myself when I'm not studying.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17OK. And what are your interests aside from international tourism?
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Very much into football.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22Got a five-a-side team that I play with in Edinburgh
0:06:22 > 0:06:24called Mix And Match.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27And do you, or is it a fairly fixed team?
0:06:27 > 0:06:28No, it's a fixed team.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30We're called Mix And Match because none of us
0:06:30 > 0:06:33are from the same country, so we're all from different countries
0:06:33 > 0:06:36- and that's why we're called Mix And Match.- Right you are.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38OK, so, Jack,
0:06:38 > 0:06:41any countries there with nine or more letters in their names.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Think I'm going to go along the same lines of central Asia
0:06:44 > 0:06:45and say Turkmenistan.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Turkmenistan, says Jack.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Let's see if that's right, let's see ow many people said Turkmenistan.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57It's right. Well, Uzbekistan scored 27,
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Turkmenistan...
0:06:59 > 0:07:00Passes it.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02- Oh, 7, look at that! - APPLAUSE
0:07:05 > 0:07:06Turkmenistan.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09I guess it doesn't have all that gold, that's why people forget it.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13- I think so. It's got 12 letters, as well.- Yeah.- How about that?
0:07:13 > 0:07:17If you fly into the main airport in Turkmenistan, the air-traffic
0:07:17 > 0:07:19controllers... The tower is in the wrong place,
0:07:19 > 0:07:22doesn't have a view of the pilots, but the president
0:07:22 > 0:07:25of Turkmenistan said it looked better that way, so that is where it is.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30- Thank you very much indeed. Now, Sarah. Welcome to Pointless.- Hello.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34- What do you do, Sarah?- I work in marketing for a manufacturer
0:07:34 > 0:07:36of roofing and waterproofing systems.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Excellent.
0:07:38 > 0:07:39It's more interesting than it sounds.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43- Excellent.- It really is!
0:07:43 > 0:07:46So, when you're not doing the waterproofing and the roofing,
0:07:46 > 0:07:49- what do you do? - Well, we both like travel.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53I love doing jigsaws, reading atlases, maps, A-Zs.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55- I love quizzes, obviously. - OK, so travel,
0:07:55 > 0:07:58therefore, maybe countries with nine or more letters in their names.
0:07:58 > 0:07:59Well, you would hope so.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02I don't think I've been anywhere that's got more than nine letters.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05But I'm going to move over to Africa and say Mauritania.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08Mauritania, says Sarah. Earns you a nod from Nick.
0:08:08 > 0:08:09Let's see if it's right,
0:08:09 > 0:08:12let's see how many of our 100 people said Mauritania.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17It's right.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Well, 27, our high score, 7 our low at this point.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Mauritania passes 27...
0:08:22 > 0:08:24- Passes 7... 1! - APPLAUSE
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Very well done indeed there on podium three.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Mauritania scoring 1.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34That's a terrific answer, Sarah, very well played, Mauritania.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37You can be jailed in Mauritania for a year for making plastic bags.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42They are banned. They are banned. To protect the environment.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45So much wildlife was dying from eating plastic bags
0:08:45 > 0:08:48they banned them so you can be jailed for a year.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51- Wow.- I know, we just have to pay 5p at M&S, right?
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Maybe we should do that here, as well?
0:08:53 > 0:08:56But to change people's behaviour it takes a very, very long time,
0:08:56 > 0:08:58cos they're convenient, aren't they?
0:08:58 > 0:09:01So, you have to come down heavily with a year's custodial sentence.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Well, you start with 5p and then the next...
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Then it's 8p and then it's a year in jail.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08Then life.
0:09:08 > 0:09:09Bag for life.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11LAUGHTER
0:09:13 > 0:09:15APPLAUSE
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Thanks very much, Rich. Now, Sue, welcome back.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25We saw you for hardly any time at all last time, far too short.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28- Sue, remind us what you get up to. - I'm a retired teacher.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32And, like a lot of retired teachers, I still work two days a week.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34- With children, as well? - With children.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36Couldn't get away from the classroom.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38No, we invite their parents in and they come
0:09:38 > 0:09:40and work with their children.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43All kinds of things - vocational things, jewellery making,
0:09:43 > 0:09:47- cookery, digital photography, that kind of stuff.- Wonderful.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51- So, you get to learn plenty, as well?- We do, yes.- Fabulous.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54Now, Sue, putting all thoughts of Yugoslavia to the back
0:09:54 > 0:09:58of our minds for one moment, what are you going to go for?
0:09:58 > 0:10:04I'm going to think of Africa again and try Mozambique.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07Mozambique, says Sue. Let's see if that's right,
0:10:07 > 0:10:09let's see how many of our 100 people said Mozambique.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15It's right.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Well, 27 remains our high score.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19You've passed that.
0:10:20 > 0:10:225, very well done indeed, Sue. That's a great score.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25Second lowest score of the pass for Mozambique.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Terrific answer, Sue, very well played.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31If you spell out every single one-word country
0:10:31 > 0:10:35in the world with Scrabble tiles, Mozambique is the high scorer.
0:10:35 > 0:10:36Score you 34.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39- Got a Z and a Q in it, dude. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41I don't know what to tell you.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43It wouldn't be allowed in a game of Scrabble because...
0:10:43 > 0:10:46- Proper noun.- ..it's a proper noun.- But still.- But still.- Still.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48- Something to think about.- It is.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50I'm still thinking about it now. Thank you.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53We're halfway through the round, let's look at the scores.
0:10:53 > 0:10:541, Sarah, well done,
0:10:54 > 0:10:55the best score of that pass
0:10:55 > 0:10:57putting Sarah and Nick in a strong position.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Then up to 5 where we see Sue and Karen, that's more like it.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Then up to 7 where we see Jack and Tom.
0:11:02 > 0:11:0427, Jen and Mikkaila,
0:11:04 > 0:11:06our head-to-headers last time round.
0:11:06 > 0:11:07Yes, that was Uzbekistan.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11I'm sorry. I can only imagine it's all that gold.
0:11:11 > 0:11:12That's what they were thinking of.
0:11:12 > 0:11:16So, Mikkaila, you know what we need from you. A lovely low score.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18Let's hope that's going to keep you in the game. Best of luck.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20We're going to come back down the line now.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:11:25 > 0:11:28So, Karen, remember, we're looking for any single word country
0:11:28 > 0:11:31whose name contains nine or more letters.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35Karen, remind us what you like getting up to up in Birmingham.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39I like to play the saxophone. And reading.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41- And what sort of music do you play? - All sorts.
0:11:41 > 0:11:47We do about three concerts a year and we play, well, anything, really.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51- Very good. Do you play seated or do you stand?- Oh, no, I can't sit down.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54- I can't concentrate sitting down. - Where's the fun in that?
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Yeah, I know, I get that problem. LAUGHTER
0:11:56 > 0:11:59I find I get the opposite of that problem, actually.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02Now, then, Karen, there you are, as I say, on 5.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04The high-scorers at the moment, Mikkaila and Jen,
0:12:04 > 0:12:08on 27, so 21 or less keeps you in the game for sure.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13I'm just praying that I haven't made this one up.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17So, I'm going to go with Kazakhstan.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Kazakhstan, says Karen. There's your red line, if you can get below that
0:12:20 > 0:12:23with Kazakhstan, you are definitely in the next round.
0:12:26 > 0:12:27It's right.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34- 22, that scores you. - APPLAUSE
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Takes your total up to 27.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Yeah, good answer, Kazakhstan. Very well played.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43It's so big, Kazakhstan, that it
0:12:43 > 0:12:46- stretches the distance between London and Istanbul.- Wow.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Stretches over three time zones.
0:12:48 > 0:12:49Thank you very much, Richard.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Now, Nick, welcome to the show. What do you do, Nick?
0:12:52 > 0:12:55- I work for the ambulance service up in Manchester.- Up in Manchester?
0:12:55 > 0:12:57So, which bit of the service are you in?
0:12:57 > 0:13:00- I'm dispatching the vehicles in the control centre.- I see.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03What do you like getting up to when you're not doing that?
0:13:03 > 0:13:06I like watching films and I like watching football
0:13:06 > 0:13:08and I'm a big Wigan Athletic fan.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11OK. Well, there you are on 1.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15The high-scorers on 27 are Mikkaila and Jen and Karen and Sue.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18So, 25 or less gets you through.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24Sarah's helped me out, really, so I'm going to go quite safe,
0:13:24 > 0:13:25hopefully, Nicaragua.
0:13:25 > 0:13:29Nicaragua, says Nick.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Safe, we will see. Well, there is your red line.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34Let's see how many of our 100 people said Nicaragua.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41It's right.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46It is safe, there we are.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48- APPLAUSE - 4, it scores you.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52Takes your total up to 5. Very well done indeed.
0:13:52 > 0:13:53The lowest total of the round.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58They don't really use street names in Nicaragua, interestingly.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01In Managua there's a few, which is the capital, but they don't use them.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04So, genuinely, if you send a letter in Nicaragua
0:14:04 > 0:14:06you will have to write the address something like,
0:14:06 > 0:14:09"You know the Chinese restaurant?
0:14:09 > 0:14:12"One road down from that, one road down from that, there's a house
0:14:12 > 0:14:14"with a yellow door and they've got a Volvo in the drive.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17"There."
0:14:17 > 0:14:22- They don't have street names.- Wow. Massive envelopes, though.- Yeah!
0:14:24 > 0:14:27- Thank you very much. Now, Tom, welcome.- Hiya.- What do you do, Tom?
0:14:27 > 0:14:29I live in Manchester.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32- I do a postgrad in international management.- OK.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36And international management, that sounds... Tell me what that is.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39- Er...- You managing the world? - One day I will, hopefully.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42Cos can I just say, well done. You've done...
0:14:42 > 0:14:45I mean, there are a couple of areas to focus on but still, broadly...
0:14:45 > 0:14:47- I'm getting there.- It, as a system,
0:14:47 > 0:14:49I think it's fine.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52- It'll do.- Thanks. - LAUGHTER
0:14:52 > 0:14:55- What are your hobbies? - I do a lot of swimming.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58I'm part of the swim team at the Manchester Metropolitan University
0:14:58 > 0:15:01so I'm quite involved in that.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03Huge Arsenal football fan, as well.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06So, I enjoy watching Arsenal play a lot.
0:15:06 > 0:15:10Enjoy the football and American cinema, as well, quite into that.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12Very good. Well, there you are.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15You're on 7, the high-scorers on 27 so 19 or less gets you through.
0:15:17 > 0:15:18Um...
0:15:18 > 0:15:20I'm going to go along the same lines as Jack
0:15:20 > 0:15:22and say Tajikistan,
0:15:22 > 0:15:25which is neighbour to all those countries...
0:15:25 > 0:15:26Tajikistan, says Tom.
0:15:26 > 0:15:27There's your red line.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31If you can get below that with Tajikistan, you're through to the next round.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40Very well done.
0:15:40 > 0:15:41APPLAUSE
0:15:41 > 0:15:424...
0:15:42 > 0:15:44taking your total up to 11.
0:15:44 > 0:15:45Well done, Tom.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49Pretty interesting how many more Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan scored
0:15:49 > 0:15:51than some of these other... some of the smaller Stans.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55Over 90% of Tajikistan is mountains.
0:15:55 > 0:15:56If you ironed out Tajikistan,
0:15:56 > 0:15:59- it would probably be the largest country in the world.- Yep.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Yep. Thank you very much indeed.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05- So, Mikkaila...- Hello.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08Now, there's one possible way you can stay in the game
0:16:08 > 0:16:11and that is through the good offices of lockdown.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14- That means you would have to score a pointless answer.- Yes!
0:16:16 > 0:16:18- I thought of quite a few...- Yeah?
0:16:18 > 0:16:20..and everybody has said them,
0:16:20 > 0:16:22- which is brilliant.- Which is good.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24So it's made you think even harder
0:16:24 > 0:16:26and it will help you get that pointless answer.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28You'd like to think so.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Um... I can think of some quite obvious ones,
0:16:31 > 0:16:34like Madagascar
0:16:34 > 0:16:36and Switzerland
0:16:36 > 0:16:38and Argentina,
0:16:38 > 0:16:41but I think they are all going to score quite highly.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43So I'm going to try...
0:16:43 > 0:16:44Indonesia,
0:16:44 > 0:16:46but I'm not very good at spelling...
0:16:46 > 0:16:47So it might not be nine letters.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50- OK, you're going to go for Indonesia.- Yes.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53OK, spelling or counting - either of those will help -
0:16:53 > 0:16:56let's see how many of our 100 people said Indonesia...
0:17:00 > 0:17:01It's right.
0:17:07 > 0:17:0813, I'm afraid.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10- APPLAUSE - Indonesia.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12That takes your total up to 40.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16Yeah, by far the best answer, of the ones you mentioned,
0:17:16 > 0:17:19would have been Madagascar, which would have scored you four points.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21There's no pointless answers at all,
0:17:21 > 0:17:24which makes Mauritania an even better answer than we already thought.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26Three answers would have scored you one point.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28They are Mauritania, Seychelles
0:17:28 > 0:17:32and the common short form name of the Federated States of Micronesia
0:17:32 > 0:17:35- is simply Micronesia.- Micronesia. - That would have been one point.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38You'd have got three for Philippines and Azerbaijan,
0:17:38 > 0:17:41you'd have got four for Swaziland, Macedonia,
0:17:41 > 0:17:44you'd have got five for Mauritius, Lithuania,
0:17:44 > 0:17:46six for the Netherlands. That would have been a good answer.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50You would have got six, also, for Montenegro, Liechtenstein, Bangladesh.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53You'd have got eight for Singapore, eight for Guatemala,
0:17:53 > 0:17:54nine for Venezuela and Luxembourg.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57You'd have got 26 for Switzerland.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00Now Uzbekistan was the fourth biggest scorer of all,
0:18:00 > 0:18:01which amazes me.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03But sometimes in pointless answers,
0:18:03 > 0:18:05there's the one that people just...
0:18:05 > 0:18:08it just sticks in their mind. You came up with it first on the first podium.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10Perhaps our 100 people did, as well.
0:18:10 > 0:18:11We'll look at the top three,
0:18:11 > 0:18:13the only three to beat Uzbekistan...
0:18:15 > 0:18:17They were Afghanistan, which would have scored you 31,
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Argentina - 34,
0:18:19 > 0:18:21and, right at the top...
0:18:21 > 0:18:23Australia - way in the lead with 71.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28So at the end of our first round, the pair we are saying goodbye to..
0:18:28 > 0:18:30I'm so sorry, it's Mikkaila and Jen.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32You did so well last time on the show.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35And, yeah... Uzbekistan... Kind of let you down.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37It felt like a nice low scorer, there.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39- It did. It felt good. Feeling bad now.- I'm sorry.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42I'm sorry. And it's been lovely having you on the show.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Thank you so much for playing, Mikkaila and Jen.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46APPLAUSE
0:18:47 > 0:18:50But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57And so three pairs remain. Obviously, at the end of this round,
0:18:57 > 0:18:59we'll have to say goodbye to another pair.
0:18:59 > 0:19:00But, Sarah, very well done.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03Our lowest individual scorer in that round with Mauritania.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05Well done, Tom, as well. Nice low score from you.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08And well done, Sue and Karen, lovely to have you with us in Round Two.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12Our category for Round Two today is...
0:19:15 > 0:19:18Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:19:18 > 0:19:21And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26OK, and the question concerns...
0:19:29 > 0:19:32Famous cheerleaders, Richard.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35We are going to give you six clues on each past of famous people who have,
0:19:35 > 0:19:37at one point of their life, been a cheerleader.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39Can you give us the most obscure answer, please?
0:19:39 > 0:19:42- 12 in all to have a go at home. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46OK, so we're looking for the names of the former cheerleaders, described by these clues.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49Here's our first board of six. And we've got:
0:20:19 > 0:20:21I'll read those one last time.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50Tom...
0:20:50 > 0:20:52Um... I know quite a few of these.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55So I'm trying to guess which one
0:20:55 > 0:20:57is going to be the lowest scoring one.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Um...
0:20:59 > 0:21:01I'll go with the first one -
0:21:01 > 0:21:03actor with the middle name Leroy,
0:21:03 > 0:21:05I think it's Samuel Leroy Jackson.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08- So Samuel L Jackson. - Samuel L Jackson, says Tom.
0:21:08 > 0:21:09Let's see if that's right.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12Let's see how many people said, Samuel L Jackson.
0:21:15 > 0:21:16It is right.
0:21:22 > 0:21:23Down it goes to 8. Well done, Tom.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25APPLAUSE
0:21:25 > 0:21:278 for Samuel L Jackson.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32He was a cheerleader when he studied at Morehouse College.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35Thanks very much indeed. Now then, Nick...
0:21:36 > 0:21:39I think I'm going to go for the bottom one...
0:21:39 > 0:21:41And I think that might be
0:21:41 > 0:21:42Michael Douglas.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45Michael Douglas says Nick. Let's see if that's right.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47Let's see how many people said, Michael Douglas.
0:21:50 > 0:21:51It's right.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Good answer. Nine for Michael Douglas.
0:21:58 > 0:21:59APPLAUSE
0:22:01 > 0:22:03Two very low scores so far.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06Well played, Nick. Yeah, it's going well so far, this round.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09He was a cheerleader at the Choate Proprietary School and his dad,
0:22:09 > 0:22:12Kirk Douglas, was also a cheerleader in his time.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15Thanks very much indeed, Richard. Now, Sue.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18- Do you want to talk us through this board?- I wish!
0:22:18 > 0:22:22Um... The one I knew has already gone.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26I think the actress who was Oscar nominated for her
0:22:26 > 0:22:29performance in Gravity is Sandra Bullock.
0:22:29 > 0:22:33- Sandra Bullock. Is that the one you're going to go for?- Yes. - OK, Sandra Bullock, says Sue.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said that.
0:22:39 > 0:22:40It's right.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48- 19 for Sandra Bullock. - APPLAUSE
0:22:50 > 0:22:54Yeah, she cheered for Washington-Lee High School in Arlington, Virginia.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57She was also voted most likely to brighten your day
0:22:57 > 0:23:01- when she was at high school.- That's nice.- That is nice, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Let's take a look at the rest of these.
0:23:03 > 0:23:07The actress who played Gabrielle Solis was Eva Longoria.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Would have scored you 10.
0:23:09 > 0:23:10We'll go down to the bottom next,
0:23:10 > 0:23:13the actress whose dance at the MTV Awards...
0:23:13 > 0:23:15- Miley Cyrus.- Miley Cyrus.
0:23:15 > 0:23:1814 points and this is a pointless answer, American Major General,
0:23:18 > 0:23:21who was actually President when this audio message was sent,
0:23:21 > 0:23:23and it was Dwight D Eisenhower.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26A pointless answer, so very well done if you said that.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Thank you very much indeed. We're halfway through the round.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31Let's take a look at those scores. 8, the best score of that pass.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34Well done, Tom. Tom and Jack in the lead at this point.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36Nick and Sarah, one above them on 9, then up to 19,
0:23:36 > 0:23:39not so far ahead, Sue and Karen.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41But Karen, you are ahead, so we need a nice low score from you.
0:23:41 > 0:23:46Let's hope there's one you know on this next board that will score you hardly anything. Best of luck.
0:23:46 > 0:23:51We're going to come back down the line now. Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:23:52 > 0:23:56OK, let's put six more clues up on the board and here they come:
0:24:24 > 0:24:25I'll read those one last time.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54Karen.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56My mind has gone a bit blank.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59I know exactly who the actor was and I can see him,
0:24:59 > 0:25:01but I can't actually remember his name.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05And I think that the actress whose films include Gangs Of New York...
0:25:05 > 0:25:09I think might have been Jennifer Lopez.
0:25:09 > 0:25:10OK, Jennifer Lopez, says Karen.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16No red line for you, as you're the high scorers.
0:25:20 > 0:25:24Oh, I'm sorry, Karen. I'm afraid, not Jennifer Lopez.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27- That scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 119.- Sorry, Karen.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30A perfectly good guess, Jennifer Lopez.
0:25:30 > 0:25:35Unlike Yugoslavia, she does actually exist, so that's something.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38Thank you very much indeed. Now, Sarah.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41You're now through to the next round, which is great news,
0:25:41 > 0:25:45- but let's find a nice answer on that board.- OK.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48Well, it's not a brilliant board for me. I know a couple, I think.
0:25:48 > 0:25:52But I think the one I'm going to go with is the singer with
0:25:52 > 0:25:56the middle names Louise Veronica, directed the film W.E., was Madonna.
0:25:56 > 0:26:00Madonna, of course. No red line, as you're already through,
0:26:00 > 0:26:02but let's see how many people said Madonna.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06It's right.
0:26:12 > 0:26:16- Wow! Look at that! 4. - APPLAUSE
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Takes your total up to 13.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21Another very strong performance from Sarah and Nick there on podium two.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23Yes, she was a cheerleader at high school
0:26:23 > 0:26:26and at the University of Michigan.
0:26:26 > 0:26:30Thank you very much indeed. Now, Jack. Again, already through.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33But let's go through that board. Do you want to fill in any of those blanks for us?
0:26:33 > 0:26:38I think the president is Franklin D Roosevelt.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41I think the actress in Gangs Of New York, The Holiday
0:26:41 > 0:26:43and Bad Teacher is Cameron Diaz.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45And the bottom one is Kirsten Dunst.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47Um...
0:26:47 > 0:26:49I think I'm going to go for Kirsten Dunst in the title
0:26:49 > 0:26:53- role in Marie Antoinette. - OK, Kirsten Dunst, says Jack.
0:26:53 > 0:26:58No red line for you either cos you're already through. Let's see how many people said Kirsten Dunst.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03It's right.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12Very well done indeed, Jack!
0:27:12 > 0:27:16That is a pointless answer, which adds £250 to today's jackpot,
0:27:16 > 0:27:20takes the total up to £2,500, scores you nothing, leaves your total at 8.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23- Great answer there. Well done. - Well played, terrific answer.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26Played a cheerleader, of course, in Bring It On, which is
0:27:26 > 0:27:28actually rather a good film.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30Fill in the rest of these,
0:27:30 > 0:27:34you're right about FDR, Franklin D Roosevelt.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36He would have scored you 7 points.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39A lot of people have been cheerleaders in America.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41We don't really have it over here, do we?
0:27:41 > 0:27:44The American politician and actor is Ronald Reagan.
0:27:44 > 0:27:45Would have scored you 14.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48You were right about the actress as well.
0:27:48 > 0:27:52It wasn't Jennifer Lopez, it was Cameron Diaz.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54Would have scored you 15.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56And the actor whose face you can remember,
0:27:56 > 0:28:00who played Dr Michael Hfuhruhurr, was Steve Martin.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02Steve Martin. Did you get it before...? Aw, sorry.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05Would have scored you 13. Would have been a lovely answer.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08That's the joke in that film, he says, "My name's Dr Michael
0:28:08 > 0:28:11Hfuhruhurr," and they go, "What's he called?" "It's Hfuhruhurr."
0:28:11 > 0:28:13"How do you spell it?" He goes, "Exactly as it sounds."
0:28:13 > 0:28:15LAUGHTER
0:28:15 > 0:28:17Thank you very much indeed.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20So, at the end of our second round, the pair who are heading home,
0:28:20 > 0:28:24I'm so sorry, Karen and Sue, it is you, with your high score of 119.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26Cheerleaders didn't suit you really.
0:28:26 > 0:28:30Did you know any of those others on the board? Steve Martin...
0:28:30 > 0:28:31I knew Cameron Diaz.
0:28:31 > 0:28:35I knew it was that sort of a girl, I just couldn't pick the right one.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37- That sort of a girl, eh? - LAUGHTER
0:28:37 > 0:28:39Very good. Oh.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42Well, Karen and Sue, it's been lovely having you on the show.
0:28:42 > 0:28:47- Thank you so much for playing. Karen and Sue, great contestants. - APPLAUSE
0:28:47 > 0:28:51But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54APPLAUSE
0:28:54 > 0:28:57Congratulations, Sarah and Nick and Tom and Jack,
0:28:57 > 0:29:00you're now one step closer to the final and a chance to
0:29:00 > 0:29:04play for our jackpot, which currently stands at £2,500.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
0:29:08 > 0:29:12I think this is going to be an epic semifinal round because there's
0:29:12 > 0:29:15only one point between you when you add up all your scores.
0:29:15 > 0:29:19Sarah and Nick, some amazing low scoring from you and we had
0:29:19 > 0:29:24a pointless answer from Tom, or possibly Jack, with Kirsten Dunst.
0:29:24 > 0:29:28So, two very strong pairings there. Best of luck to both of you.
0:29:28 > 0:29:32- Let's play the head-to-head. - APPLAUSE
0:29:35 > 0:29:38OK. And here is your first question and it concerns:
0:29:42 > 0:29:46- Mythical creatures, Richard. - We're going to show you five representations now of mythical
0:29:46 > 0:29:51- creatures, along with their initial as well. Can you tell us the most obscure, please?- Thank you.
0:29:51 > 0:29:55Let's reveal our five mythical creatures and here they come. We've got:
0:30:19 > 0:30:22There we are. Five mythical creatures.
0:30:22 > 0:30:26Sarah and Nick, you've been our low scorers, so you will go first.
0:30:28 > 0:30:33(I only know Phoenix, Griffin and Cyclops.)
0:30:33 > 0:30:38(OK, I know A, a Satyr. Satyr. I was quite sure of that. Satyr.)
0:30:38 > 0:30:41(OK, that's the one then, do you think?)
0:30:41 > 0:30:44Yeah. Right, we're not sure on all of them.
0:30:44 > 0:30:48We're going to take a stab at answer A, which we think is a Satyr.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51A Satyr, say Sarah and Nick. A Satyr.
0:30:51 > 0:30:54Now, Jack and Tom, how about you?
0:30:54 > 0:30:56We're not too good on this one, no.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59Do you want to talk us through it, if you can?
0:30:59 > 0:31:02We know D and E, Cyclops and the Phoenix.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04I think C might be Hydra, but I'm not sure.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06Going to go with D, Cyclops.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09D, Cyclops, say Tom and Jack. D, Cyclops.
0:31:09 > 0:31:13So, we have Satyr and we have Cyclops. Sarah and Nick said Satyr.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:31:20 > 0:31:21It's right.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28- 21. - APPLAUSE
0:31:31 > 0:31:34Tom and Jack have gone for Cyclops for D.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said that.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45- 79. - APPLAUSE
0:31:45 > 0:31:47Which means, Sarah and Nick, well done.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50- After one question, you're up one-nil.- Yeah, very well played.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53I've said before that Satyr is my favourite mythical creature.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56Firstly, cos it's a lustful drunken woodland god and also
0:31:56 > 0:31:59because every show you're stood there and I'm Satyr(!)
0:31:59 > 0:32:01LAUGHTER
0:32:01 > 0:32:04I've done that one before, but I liked it so much, I thought
0:32:04 > 0:32:07I might repeat it. That's a little pointless repeat for you there.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09B is the Griffin.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12Everyone knew that, big scorer, though.
0:32:12 > 0:32:1363.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16The best scorer is C. It would have won you the point as well.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18Is it a Harpy?
0:32:18 > 0:32:21It is a Harpy. Yeah.
0:32:21 > 0:32:2418 points. And E is a Phoenix.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27And another big scorer, of course. Would have scored you 74.
0:32:27 > 0:32:31Thank you very much indeed. So, here comes your second question.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33Tom and Jack, you get to answer this one first,
0:32:33 > 0:32:36but you have to win it to stay in the game, so best of luck.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38It concerns:
0:32:41 > 0:32:45- BAFTA rising stars, Richard. - We're going to show you the initials of five people who've won
0:32:45 > 0:32:48the BAFTA rising star award, we're also going to show you the name
0:32:48 > 0:32:51of one of their films that came out in the year preceding their award.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53Can you tell us who they are?
0:32:53 > 0:32:56OK, let's reveal our five rising stars in initial form
0:32:56 > 0:32:58and here they come:
0:33:12 > 0:33:14I'll read those all one last time.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25Tom and Jack will go first.
0:33:25 > 0:33:28THEY WHISPER
0:33:30 > 0:33:33We know the first three,
0:33:33 > 0:33:35which we think will be the highest scorers through.
0:33:35 > 0:33:39Transformers...
0:33:39 > 0:33:42Yeah, we're going to go with Transformers, SL, Shia LaBeouf.
0:33:42 > 0:33:46Shia LaBeouf. OK. Shia LaBeouf, say Jack and Tom.
0:33:46 > 0:33:50Now, Sarah and Nick, do you want to talk us through the rest?
0:33:50 > 0:33:54- We only know... We think the first one is Kristen Stewart.- I think so.
0:33:54 > 0:33:58And the only person in Casino Royale with those initials, I think,
0:33:58 > 0:33:59is Eva Green.
0:33:59 > 0:34:03And I don't know the other two, so we'll go for Eva Green.
0:34:03 > 0:34:08Eva Green. So, we have Shia LaBeouf and Eva Green.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11Now, Tom and Jack have gone for Shia LaBeouf. let's see if that's right
0:34:11 > 0:34:14and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:34:17 > 0:34:18It's right.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26- Very well done indeed. - APPLAUSE
0:34:26 > 0:34:2912 for Shia LaBeouf.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32Now, Sarah and Nick have gone for Eva Green.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said that.
0:34:39 > 0:34:40It is right.
0:34:44 > 0:34:47It's a good answer and it wins the point for you. Look at that. 5.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50- APPLAUSE - Very well done indeed.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53That means, Sarah and Nick, after only two questions,
0:34:53 > 0:34:56- you are straight through to the final two-nil. - Yeah, very well played.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59You chose the right one as well cos Kristen Stewart would not have
0:34:59 > 0:35:02won it for you. She would have scored you 28 points.
0:35:02 > 0:35:06The one at the bottom, very famous actor, enormously successful now.
0:35:06 > 0:35:09James McAvoy. Would have scored you 3.
0:35:09 > 0:35:11And the last one is a pointless answer.
0:35:11 > 0:35:15He will not be a pointless answer ever again, I suspect. Adam Deacon
0:35:15 > 0:35:19- is the answer there. Pointless. Very well done if you said Adam Deacon. - Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:35:19 > 0:35:23So the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round, I'm afraid, Tom and Jack.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26Played incredibly well throughout the whole show.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29A pointless answer we've had from you and wonderful low scoring.
0:35:29 > 0:35:34- You knew quite a few of those, didn't you?- We knew Eva Green. Had to decide between the two of them.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37Well, the good news for us, we get to see you again next time.
0:35:37 > 0:35:42- But meantime, thanks very much, Tom and Jack, great contestants. - APPLAUSE
0:35:43 > 0:35:48- But for Sarah and Nick, it's now time for our Pointless final. - APPLAUSE
0:35:50 > 0:35:53Congratulations, Sarah and Nick. You've seen off all the competition
0:35:53 > 0:35:56and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:01 > 0:36:04You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:36:04 > 0:36:08and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £2,500.
0:36:08 > 0:36:11CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
0:36:11 > 0:36:16Very, very well done. And we've thrown lots of weird things at you.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19Countries of nine letters or more, former cheerleaders,
0:36:19 > 0:36:22mythical creatures and then BAFTA rising stars and everything,
0:36:22 > 0:36:26you've just knocked out of the park, so very well done indeed.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29As always, you get to choose your category from the four
0:36:29 > 0:36:33we put up on the board. Let's see what's up there today. We've got:
0:36:39 > 0:36:43- Really, I'm...- You're quite good on that sort of thing.- Not on albums.
0:36:43 > 0:36:48- Not on albums.- What about sport in 1996? Obviously, it's not just going to be football.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51We could both have a go at Beatles, but sport would just be me.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54Members of The Beatles. Are you confident on sport?
0:36:54 > 0:36:56Obviously, you're avoiding it for a reason.
0:36:56 > 0:36:57Um...
0:37:00 > 0:37:02- You decide.- Beatles. - OK, Beatles it is.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04Beatles it is. Richard.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07OK, here are your three choices. Very best of luck.
0:37:07 > 0:37:08Hope something here suits you.
0:37:08 > 0:37:11We're looking for any of the tracks on the original UK release
0:37:11 > 0:37:13of John Lennon's Imagine,
0:37:13 > 0:37:17any of the tracks on the original release of Paul McCartney and Wings'
0:37:17 > 0:37:18Band On The Run album
0:37:18 > 0:37:22or any tracks on the original release of George Harrison's 1970 album
0:37:22 > 0:37:24All Things Must Pass.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26So any tracks on Imagine,
0:37:26 > 0:37:28any tracks on Band On The Run or any track from All Things Must Pass.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31- The very best of luck. - OK, now, as always,
0:37:31 > 0:37:33you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:33 > 0:37:36All you need to win the jackpot is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39OK? Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock. There they are.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42Your time starts now.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44- OK.- Imagine I can think of.
0:37:44 > 0:37:46Is it Beautiful Boy?
0:37:46 > 0:37:48No, that was much later on.
0:37:48 > 0:37:49Cold Turkey?
0:37:49 > 0:37:50Possibly, yes.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53All Things Must Pass... I'm really not too sure.
0:37:53 > 0:37:54Possibly... What Is Love?
0:37:54 > 0:37:56What Is Love?
0:37:56 > 0:37:57Band On The Run...
0:37:57 > 0:37:59I don't know it apart from the obvious ones, really.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01Yes, I'm trying to think of what...
0:38:01 > 0:38:03My mother had it, but I can't remember.
0:38:03 > 0:38:05Was, um...C Moon on Band On The Run?
0:38:06 > 0:38:09- I think it was before that.- Was it? - Yeah.- I'm really not sure.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11Do you think Cold Turkey was on Imagine?
0:38:11 > 0:38:14I don't know. You see, I've never listened to that album.
0:38:14 > 0:38:15Um...
0:38:15 > 0:38:19- I know Woman's on it. Jealous Guy's on it.- Are you sure?
0:38:19 > 0:38:20I'm pretty sure.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22- But they won't be pointless.- No.
0:38:22 > 0:38:24I'll go with you on those, but...
0:38:24 > 0:38:27To be honest, I'm not sure about any of them.
0:38:27 > 0:38:30All Things Must Pass... I don't know apart from, obviously, the title track.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32- Ten seconds left. - I might be inclined to say...
0:38:32 > 0:38:34- I wonder if... - While My Guitar Gently Weeps?
0:38:34 > 0:38:37- Is that song on Band On The Run? Was it about that time?- No.
0:38:37 > 0:38:38It was much later.
0:38:38 > 0:38:40Band On The Run was, like, '75.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42OK, that's your time up, I'm afraid.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44I'm going to need your three answers.
0:38:44 > 0:38:46Erm...
0:38:46 > 0:38:47Cold Turkey for Imagine.
0:38:47 > 0:38:49- Cold Turkey?- Yep.- Yep.
0:38:49 > 0:38:51- Are you happy with What Is Love? - Yep.- Um...
0:38:52 > 0:38:55Sorry, it's What Is Life? on All Things Must Pass.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57What Is Life?
0:38:57 > 0:38:59- C Moon.- And Band On The Run, C Moon.
0:38:59 > 0:39:00C Moon.
0:39:00 > 0:39:03Of the three of those, which do you think's your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:39:03 > 0:39:05None of them!
0:39:05 > 0:39:06SHE GIGGLES
0:39:06 > 0:39:08Erm, possibly your Imagine track.
0:39:08 > 0:39:11- You seem quite confident on that one.- OK, Cold Turkey we'll put last.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13Least likely to be pointless?
0:39:13 > 0:39:16- I think C Moon from Band On The Run.- C Moon we'll put first.
0:39:16 > 0:39:19OK, let's put those answers up on the board in that order, then.
0:39:19 > 0:39:21And here they are.
0:39:21 > 0:39:24We've got C Moon, What is Life?
0:39:24 > 0:39:27and Cold Turkey. Well, best of luck.
0:39:27 > 0:39:28Three answers up on the board.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31Let's hope one of those is pointless and win that jackpot for you.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34£2,500 - quite a nice jackpot to be taking home.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36Sarah, what would you be doing with that?
0:39:36 > 0:39:39Well, I think we both need a holiday... Especially after today!
0:39:40 > 0:39:43So we'd probably have a holiday somewhere hot
0:39:43 > 0:39:46and then we've got some boring repairs around the house
0:39:46 > 0:39:47that that would certainly help with.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50Nick, anything you'd like to add to that?
0:39:50 > 0:39:51We'd definitely go on holiday
0:39:51 > 0:39:53after I'd paid for my season ticket.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55LAUGHTER
0:39:55 > 0:39:56That's news to me.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59- HESITANTLY:- OK. There we are! Well, best of luck.
0:39:59 > 0:40:00Your first answer was C Moon.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03This was the one you thought was probably least likely to be pointless.
0:40:03 > 0:40:06In this case we were looking for tracks on Band On The Run.
0:40:06 > 0:40:08It has to be right, then it has to be pointless for you to win.
0:40:08 > 0:40:10So for £2,500,
0:40:10 > 0:40:12let's see how many people said C Moon.
0:40:17 > 0:40:19Bad luck. An incorrect answer there,
0:40:19 > 0:40:22which means only two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25Your second answer is What Is Life? -
0:40:25 > 0:40:28in this case from All Things Must Pass.
0:40:28 > 0:40:29Let's see if it's right.
0:40:29 > 0:40:31Let's then see if it's pointless.
0:40:31 > 0:40:34If it is both those things, you will leave here with £2,500.
0:40:34 > 0:40:36How many people said What Is Life?
0:40:39 > 0:40:40It's right.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43Now your first answer, C Moon, was an incorrect answer,
0:40:43 > 0:40:44as it turns out.
0:40:44 > 0:40:48But What Is Life? now taking us down through the '20s and into the teens.
0:40:48 > 0:40:49Into single figures...
0:40:49 > 0:40:50Down it goes, still going down...
0:40:50 > 0:40:52Down it goes... One!
0:40:52 > 0:40:54- Oh! - APPLAUSE
0:40:57 > 0:41:00One person remembered What Is Life?
0:41:00 > 0:41:02That's a great score,
0:41:02 > 0:41:04sadly, not pointless, though.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06So only one more shot at today's jackpot.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09Everything is now riding on your third and final answer, Cold Turkey.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12In this case we were looking for tracks from Imagine.
0:41:12 > 0:41:15This was the one you were probably the most confident in.
0:41:15 > 0:41:16It has to be right.
0:41:16 > 0:41:18Then it has to be pointless for you to win.
0:41:18 > 0:41:21So for £2,500, let's see how many people said Cold Turkey.
0:41:21 > 0:41:22Is it pointless?
0:41:27 > 0:41:29- Oh! Bad luck. - APPLAUSE
0:41:34 > 0:41:36Well, one very, very good answer up on the board, there.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39But, I'm sorry to say you didn't manage to find that pointless answer,
0:41:39 > 0:41:41so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £2,500.
0:41:41 > 0:41:43That rolls over on to the next show.
0:41:43 > 0:41:45But we've really enjoyed having you on.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48And you get a Pointless trophy to take home each. So very well done.
0:41:48 > 0:41:50- APPLAUSE - That's what we came for.
0:41:53 > 0:41:55Yeah, three good answers. Well played.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57C Moon and Cold Turkey, neither of those on the albums,
0:41:57 > 0:41:59but they are both tracks by those performers.
0:41:59 > 0:42:02Let's take a look at the pointless answers in the different categories.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05Hope you don't recognise too many of them.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07From Imagine - How Do You Sleep? was a pointless answer.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10George Harrison plays on that. How? Another one that George Harrison is on.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13I Don't Wanna Be A Soldier Mama, I Don't Wanna Die.
