0:00:20 > 0:00:22APPLAUSE
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Welcome to Pointless, the show where the aim of the game
0:00:27 > 0:00:30is to avoid the obvious answers and find the obscure ones.
0:00:30 > 0:00:31Let's meet today's players.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34APPLAUSE
0:00:35 > 0:00:37And couple number one.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Hello, my name is Emma. This is my lovely friend Liz.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41We are both from West Yorkshire.
0:00:41 > 0:00:42Couple number two.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44This is Doreen and I'm Christopher.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48And we have been married for 54.5 years.
0:00:48 > 0:00:49Couple number three.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52My name is Emily. This is my dad, Dave. And we are from Lincoln.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54And finally, couple number four.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Hello, my name is Sue. And this is my son-in-law, Fergus.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59I'm from Wrexham and Fergus is from Dorchester.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01And these are today's contestants.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03APPLAUSE
0:01:03 > 0:01:04Thanks very much, all of you.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07We'll find out more about you throughout the show.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09So that just leaves one more person for me to introduce,
0:01:09 > 0:01:11a man so obsessed with the quest for knowledge,
0:01:11 > 0:01:14he frequently answers rhetorical questions.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17- Would you believe it? - LAUGHTER
0:01:17 > 0:01:19It's my pointless friend. It's Richard.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Hiya. Good afternoon, everybody.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24APPLAUSE
0:01:24 > 0:01:26- Good afternoon to you.- And to you.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29We have got two lovely returning couples coming back from last time.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31We had Sue and Fergus on that final podium.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33We joked last time cos they are mother-in-law and son-in-law.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36We thought that was a very high risk strategy.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38And then Fergus managed to get 100 points
0:01:38 > 0:01:42and he and his mother-in-law were knocked out of the show immediately.
0:01:42 > 0:01:43So...
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Little bit of making up to do today, I think, Fergus.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48And on podium two, 54.5 years married,
0:01:48 > 0:01:50we've got Doreen and Christopher.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Of course, they've been married longer than last time we saw them.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55LAUGHTER
0:01:55 > 0:01:58I thought you would get divorced in between shows, but you haven't done.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01- Never did.- You are still together, which is terrific.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Both good pairs. Both strong pairs,
0:02:03 > 0:02:07but I think Round One is going to upset a few people.
0:02:07 > 0:02:08That is my opinion.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12I've been doing the show a long time, I know when we upset people.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14- I think we are about to do it. - We are going to do it right now.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16- I think so.- OK.- I think so.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19Just warning you, just pre-warning you, managing your expectations.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Very well done. Not looking forward to that. We hate upsetting people.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24- We do hate upsetting people, actually.- Yeah.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27Louise and Amanda didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:02:27 > 0:02:28so we add another £1,000 that.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32So today's jackpot starts off at £4,500.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35- That is quite a jackpot. - APPLAUSE AND OOHS
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Right. Now, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45OK, now, remember, the pair with the highest score
0:02:45 > 0:02:47at the end of each round will be eliminated.
0:02:47 > 0:02:48The pair with the highest score.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Our first category today is...
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Divas. Can you all decide in your pairs who was going first
0:02:57 > 0:02:58and who is going second?
0:02:58 > 0:03:02And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name...
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Female artists with the biggest selling UK singles of all time,
0:03:19 > 0:03:22- Richard.- In March 2014, the Official Charts Company published
0:03:22 > 0:03:26a list of the 40 bestselling singles of all time by female artists.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29We are looking for the name of any female artist on that list.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31That is female soloists, female duos or female groups.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34They have to be entirely female. You wouldn't be allowed ABBA,
0:03:34 > 0:03:36for example, cos of the two fellas.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40So any female artist, duo or band, all-female,
0:03:40 > 0:03:44who released one of those 40 bestselling singles of all time.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Thank you very much indeed. Now then, Liz, welcome to the show.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49- Thank you.- From West Yorkshire.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51But actually not.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54- You now live in London.- I do. - And what do you do in London?
0:03:54 > 0:03:56I am a learning and engagement manager.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00So it is my job to train and develop people.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03- And to try and make it a better place to work.- Good stuff.
0:04:03 > 0:04:08Now, Liz, what are you going to go for?
0:04:08 > 0:04:11OK, well, I don't really want to start the show with
0:04:11 > 0:04:13a pointless... With a wrong answer.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15- EMMA LAUGHS - Pointless would be good.
0:04:15 > 0:04:21So I'm going to try and play it safe and go for Girls Aloud.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Girls Aloud, says Liz. Let's see if that is right.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27And if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Girls Aloud.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33- Oh, sorry.- That's exactly what you said you didn't want, Liz.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35I can't believe it.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38I'm sorry to say, you started us off with an incorrect answer
0:04:38 > 0:04:40and scored 100 points. Takes a lot of pressure off
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Christopher and Doreen behind you.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44But I'm so sorry.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47Liz, when I take a look at this list of artists, genuinely,
0:04:47 > 0:04:49I am shocked that Girls Aloud is not on that list,
0:04:49 > 0:04:51given some of the other names, but not there.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55They never had that one single that went stratospheric, I don't think.
0:04:55 > 0:04:56Hm.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Now, Christopher...
0:04:59 > 0:05:01"Phew," we might say.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04Christopher, remind us what you get up to.
0:05:04 > 0:05:09Well, I retired, but we write a lot of books and we like travelling.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12And I do work occasionally.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16- You were an Anglican vicar.- Yes. - Where were you a vicar?
0:05:16 > 0:05:19I was a vicar in Plymouth for 29 years.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23And I started off in Lowestoft and ended up in Cambridgeshire.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26- And also a pilot.- Yes. - I mean, this is exciting.
0:05:26 > 0:05:31- So you have your PPL, do you?- Yes, I got it when I retired in 1998.
0:05:31 > 0:05:36And we have been all over the w...all over the country, anyway.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39And Doreen is my navigatrix, I think that is the word.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41- My navigator.- Very good. But you use it for travel.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Obviously, it is not just for fun.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45You actually take off and land at different places.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47I've never actually crashed.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51- That really wasn't the question. - LAUGHTER
0:05:51 > 0:05:53What are you going to go for?
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Our daughter's name is Lulu, so I'm going to go with Lulu.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Perfect. Let's see if Lulu is right.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05No. I'm sorry, not Lulu.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Doreen even knew that before
0:06:08 > 0:06:09the column did.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Yes, 100 points, I'm afraid.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15Yeah, another good guess, but not a correct answer, I'm afraid.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18- Now then, Emily, welcome. Here from Lincoln.- Yes.
0:06:18 > 0:06:19What do you do, Emily?
0:06:19 > 0:06:22- I am a communications intern. - How long have you been an intern?
0:06:22 > 0:06:26For six months. I am halfway through my internship at the moment.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29- And what do you like getting up to? - I quite like sport.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32I'm a big fan of football, but most sports I quite like.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35I do play hockey occasionally, every so often.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39Other than that, I also quite like baking as well.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43And I quite like music. As well.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45So this question, hopefully,
0:06:45 > 0:06:46- will be OK for me. - OK, well, let's hope.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Fingers crossed, Emily. Let's have our first correct answer of the day.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53Yeah, given we've had two 100s, I might go a little bit safe
0:06:53 > 0:06:56- and go with one of my favourite artists.- Or...
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Given that we've got two 100s, maybe take a bit of a risk.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02- Go out on a bit of a limb, Emily. - I'm not sure.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05- But I am going to go with Lady Gaga. - Lady Gaga, says Emily.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Very sensible. Let's see if it is right.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10Let's see how many of our 100 people said Lady Gaga.
0:07:13 > 0:07:14It's right.
0:07:20 > 0:07:21There we are, takes you down to 12.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Very well done indeed, Emily.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Lady Gaga.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28Yes, she has actually got three songs on that top 40 list.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30They were all number one singles from the same year, 2009.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Poker Face, Bad Romance and Just Dance as well.
0:07:34 > 0:07:39Thanks very much indeed, Richard. So then, Fergus, welcome back.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42- Thank you. - It was Round One last time.- Yeah.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45And you said, memorably, "Well, we'll be back for another game,
0:07:45 > 0:07:48"so I'm just going to take a bit of a punt."
0:07:48 > 0:07:51- Yeah.- And... Yeah, well...
0:07:51 > 0:07:53- Too much of a punt. - The rest is history.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55So, Fergus, yes, remind us what you do.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Company director from Dorchester.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59In a logistics company.
0:07:59 > 0:08:04Now, when you are not directing logistics, what pleases Fergus?
0:08:04 > 0:08:08I like playing computer games, that's one thing.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11Playing pool. Sort of laddish things, I guess.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Is your pool good?
0:08:13 > 0:08:18- Um, no, not really. It's OK. - It's OK, good. Good.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21Now what are you going to go for, Fergus?
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Um...
0:08:23 > 0:08:26Well, there are a few that have come into my head, but based
0:08:26 > 0:08:30on what has happened so far, I don't know if this is risky or not.
0:08:30 > 0:08:35I'm hoping that this woman is going to be on there.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39- I'm going to say Leona Lewis. - Leona Lewis, says Fergus.
0:08:39 > 0:08:40Surely she is on there.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Let's see if she is. Let's see how many people said it if she is.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48It's right, very well done indeed.
0:08:48 > 0:08:5112 is our lowest correct score,
0:08:51 > 0:08:53our only correct score, in fact,
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Lady Gaga. You passed that with Leona Lewis,
0:08:55 > 0:08:56down to 4. Very well done indeed, Fergus.
0:08:58 > 0:08:59Good score.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Yeah, she has a got two singles on the list - Bleeding Love
0:09:03 > 0:09:05and A Moment Like This as well.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Thanks very much indeed. We are halfway through,
0:09:07 > 0:09:09let's look at those scores. 4, Fergus, well done.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Best score of the pass.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Puts you and Sue at the top of the tree at this point.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Then up to 12, where we find Emily and Dave.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Then up to 100, I'm afraid, Christopher and Doreen,
0:09:18 > 0:09:20and Liz and Emma. So, Emma and Doreen,
0:09:20 > 0:09:23- it is between the pair of you. - DOREEN CHUCKLES
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Good luck. We'll come back down the line now.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:09:31 > 0:09:34OK, so remember, Sue, we are looking for any female artist
0:09:34 > 0:09:37or group who has had one of the bestselling UK singles of all time.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39There you are, nice low scorers,
0:09:39 > 0:09:42so a little bit of pressure taken off by Fergus.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Remind us about yourself, Sue.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46I am an English teacher.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48And in my spare time, I enjoy travelling
0:09:48 > 0:09:50and I enjoy amateur dramatics.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52- So are you part of a local amateur dramatics club?- Yes.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54You got anything in production at the moment?
0:09:54 > 0:09:57We've just finished Alan Ayckbourn's Confusions.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00- Excellent.- So that was good fun. - And what were you playing in that?
0:10:00 > 0:10:03I was playing the woman who comes in, who begins as an adult
0:10:03 > 0:10:04and ends up as a child.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07- So a very interesting part. - Very interesting part.
0:10:07 > 0:10:11- Now, Sue, there you are on 4. - Lovely.
0:10:11 > 0:10:1395 or less sees you through.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Right, well, there are two of my favourite artists.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18I'm not sure if they will be big scorers,
0:10:18 > 0:10:22because Fergus has done so well, I think I'll risk Adele.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25Adele, says Sue. Here is your red line, nice and high.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Let's see if you can get below that with Adele.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32It's right, and you are through.
0:10:36 > 0:10:3823 for Adele.
0:10:41 > 0:10:4327, your total. Very well done.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46Well played there on podium four. She got three entries on -
0:10:46 > 0:10:48Someone Like You being number five,
0:10:48 > 0:10:52the fifth biggest selling record in the UK by a female artist.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56Thanks very much indeed, Richard. Now, Dave.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Dave, here from Lincoln. What you do in Lincoln?
0:10:58 > 0:11:03I'm a finance manager for a large engineering company in Lincoln.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05And what are your hobbies, Dave?
0:11:05 > 0:11:09- I like researching the family history a bit.- How is that going?
0:11:09 > 0:11:11It's going well.
0:11:11 > 0:11:16- I think I've overdone it a bit and got too many branches.- Oh, really?
0:11:16 > 0:11:19That's the trouble, exactly, far too many ways to turn.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21And where have you gone geographically?
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Where is the most exciting, farthest out of the way?
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Oh, our family name comes from sort of Devon,
0:11:26 > 0:11:28but all my wife's family seem to be agricultural
0:11:28 > 0:11:31labourers from Lincolnshire, so that's not very exciting.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33- It saves petrol, doesn't it? - Yeah, I guess so.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37So, Dave, there you are, you are on 12. 87 or less
0:11:37 > 0:11:39- sees you through to the next round. - Yes.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Well, I think I'll probably disappoint you
0:11:42 > 0:11:44and try and go uber safe with...
0:11:44 > 0:11:48- Madonna.- Madonna, says Dave. Madonna. Here is your red line.
0:11:48 > 0:11:53Get below that, and you are into Round Two.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Let's see how many people said Madonna.
0:11:58 > 0:11:59Oh!
0:12:00 > 0:12:02Wasn't uber safe.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04That is an incorrect answer.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 112.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09That's an interesting fact, isn't it?
0:12:09 > 0:12:11She hasn't had one of the top 40 bestselling
0:12:11 > 0:12:13singles in the UK by a female artist.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16What do you reckon her biggest selling song was?
0:12:16 > 0:12:17- Like A Virgin.- Nope.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20- Like A Prayer.- Nope.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23- Like A Small Child. - LAUGHTER
0:12:23 > 0:12:25Her biggest selling single was Into The Groove.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Sold about 800,000 copies. Not in the top 40.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31Amazingly, she had a huge number of hits, but again, hasn't quite had
0:12:31 > 0:12:34that one that absolutely popped and just stayed in the charts forever.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37That has surprised you, hasn't it?
0:12:37 > 0:12:40Oh, you know what? It's lovely when he goes quiet. Thank you.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42LAUGHTER
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Doreen, Madonna has helped you out there.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Did you ever think that would happen?
0:12:46 > 0:12:48No, but it hasn't helped very much.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51Well, I think you'll have a good answer. I'm pretty sure.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55Now, Doreen, we discovered last time that you are part of the Worlington
0:12:55 > 0:12:58group of painters who are reviving an old master style of painting.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01- Yes.- What else do you do? - I've written three books.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04I do cross-stitch Christmas cards.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06And I bake.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08So how do you do cross-stitch Christmas cards?
0:13:08 > 0:13:10You make a little cross-stitch pattern and...?
0:13:10 > 0:13:14- Christopher makes up the pattern for me.- Yes.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17And I'm going through the English cathedrals at the moment.
0:13:17 > 0:13:22So this year I'm tossing up between Chelmsford and Canterbury.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Who is going to win? I wonder.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Chelmsford, Canterbury, Chelmsford, Canterbury.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29Well, I tell you, Chelmsford would be the pointless answer there.
0:13:29 > 0:13:33So, now, Doreen, if you can score 11 or less,
0:13:33 > 0:13:36your place in the next round is assured.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40Well, many of the names I'm thinking of are American,
0:13:40 > 0:13:42- and that doesn't help with UK singles.- No, that's OK.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44As long as they did well in the UK charts,
0:13:44 > 0:13:46that shouldn't affect them.
0:13:46 > 0:13:50In which case, I might say Barbra Streisand.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53Barbra Streisand, says Doreen. Barbra Streisand.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said it.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59There is your red line. If you get below that with Barbra Streisand,
0:13:59 > 0:14:01you are through to the next round.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07Oh, I'm sorry.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09I thought that was going to be a great answer.
0:14:09 > 0:14:10200, I'm afraid, is your total.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13That is scoring you 100 points.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Yeah, not a bad punt, Barbra Streisand,
0:14:15 > 0:14:17but not really a big single seller, Barbra.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19You know, albums, tours, all sorts of things,
0:14:19 > 0:14:21but again, never had that one massive hit.
0:14:23 > 0:14:28Hm, interesting. So, Emma, we come to you. Now, Emma, welcome.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30- Great to have you here. Down from West Yorkshire.- That's right.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32And what you do up there?
0:14:32 > 0:14:36I am a data manager in a junior school in Huddersfield.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38So, do you manage data during the holidays as well?
0:14:38 > 0:14:41- No, I get the holidays off. - Oh, that's lovely.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45- And what do you do on your holiday time?- I spend time with my children.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47Jill, who is nine, and Amy, who is two.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50Also, I like to go to gigs, music and comedy.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53- I've been to see one of your gigs many years ago.- Have you now?
0:14:53 > 0:14:54Yeah, it was fantastic.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57- Was it any good? Oh, good. - Brilliant, yes.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59You could have just said, "I found it very disappointing.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01"Very, very disappointing."
0:15:01 > 0:15:03What are you going to go for?
0:15:03 > 0:15:07If you can score 99 or less, you are in Round Two.
0:15:07 > 0:15:08I'm going to go for this song
0:15:08 > 0:15:11because I think it was at number one for ages.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14And when people are buying singles more often.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17I'm going for Whitney Houston. I Will Always Love You, I think.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20Whitney Houston, says Emma. Let's see if that's right.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22If it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25There is a red line. Get below that, you're in Round Two.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29It's right, and you are through.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Good answer, 8.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39108, your total.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44- It was actually number two on the list, I Will Always Love You.- Was it?
0:15:44 > 0:15:48Yeah, the second biggest selling. Terrific answer, very well played.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50The low scorers before we look at the pointless answers.
0:15:50 > 0:15:523 for Cheryl Cole and Mariah Carey.
0:15:52 > 0:15:552 for Katie Perry, who had Firework and Roar on that list.
0:15:55 > 0:15:582 for Jessie J. 2 for Donna Summer - I Feel Love was on the list.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01Atomic Kitten, Hold Again, they would have scored you 2.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03Bewitched would've scored you 1.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06C'est La Vie, that was one of the highest sellers.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Whigfield did Saturday Night, of course. She was on the list.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11And Carly Rae Jepsen who did Call Me Maybe as well.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13Would have scored you 1 point, a terrific answer.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16Let's take a look at the pointless answers, though.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18Alexandra Burke, Hallelujah.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Now, Barbara Dickson and Elaine Paige,
0:16:20 > 0:16:22I Know Him So Well was on the list.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25Both of those would have been pointless answers.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27Gloria Gaynor, I Will Survive. Irene Cara...
0:16:27 > 0:16:30When you look at the names, you think, "Of course."
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Irene Cara with Fame. Jennifer Rush with The Power Of Love.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34That was in the top ten.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Julie Covington, Don't Cry For Me Argentina.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39Torn by Natalie Imbruglia was on the list.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42Very well done if you said Nicki Minaj, Starships.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44There was one other pointless as well, and that was
0:16:44 > 0:16:46Christina Perri, who did Jar Of Hearts,
0:16:46 > 0:16:47which was another huge seller.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51Who do you think had the biggest selling single of any female
0:16:51 > 0:16:54artist, the biggest selling single of all time in the UK?
0:16:54 > 0:16:57- I can almost guarantee you won't get it.- Um...
0:16:58 > 0:17:00Hard, isn't it? I haven't mentioned it.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03I'll show you the top three now. She's in third place on this list.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08- Cher!- Believe, by Cher.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12The biggest selling single in UK history by a female act.
0:17:12 > 0:17:13- Isn't that amazing?- Wow.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16The second was Adele, 23.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18And it was the Spice Girls right at the top.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21Quite a few entries on the list. 33 points for the Spice Girls.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24Thank you very much indeed, Richard. So at the end of our first round,
0:17:24 > 0:17:27the pair who are heading home with a high score of 200,
0:17:27 > 0:17:28I'm so sorry, Christopher
0:17:28 > 0:17:29and Doreen. I'm afraid we have to
0:17:29 > 0:17:32say goodbye to you. It is such a shame. Far too soon.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34Lovely having you. Thanks for playing. Christopher and Doreen.
0:17:34 > 0:17:39APPLAUSE
0:17:39 > 0:17:42But for the remaining three pairs, it is now time for Round Two.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48And so now, three pairs remain.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52At the end of this round, we will have to say goodbye to another pair.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54Well, Liz and Emma, some highs and lows there.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57Fergus and Sue, very strong.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Yes, back with a vengeance this time, I sense.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01And our lowest individual score there as well.
0:18:01 > 0:18:02So, Fergus, well done.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06Best of luck to all three pairs. Our category for Round Two today is...
0:18:10 > 0:18:1120th-century politics.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Can you decide who is going first, who is going second?
0:18:14 > 0:18:17And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22OK, and the question concerns...
0:18:25 > 0:18:271990s politics, Richard.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29Yeah, it's going to be six questions on each pass
0:18:29 > 0:18:31about the political events and people of the 1990s.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34Can you give us the most obscure answer?
0:18:34 > 0:18:37OK, so we're looking for the events in the 1990s politics
0:18:37 > 0:18:39described by these clues.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41And here is our first board of six.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13I'll read those all one last time.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Emma.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44Hm. Politics, not a great subject for me,
0:19:44 > 0:19:47but I think I know three on there.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49Um...
0:19:50 > 0:19:51I think I will go for...
0:19:53 > 0:19:56The Belfast Agreement, reached in 1998, is commonly known
0:19:56 > 0:19:59by the name of this religious day. It is the Good Friday Agreement.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02Good Friday, says Emma. Good Friday. Let's see if that's right.
0:20:02 > 0:20:03Let's see how many people said it.
0:20:06 > 0:20:07It is right.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14- APPLAUSE - Not bad. 40.
0:20:16 > 0:20:20Yeah, finally signed on April 10th, 1998.
0:20:20 > 0:20:2371% of Northern Irish people voted in favour.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26Thank you, Richard. Now, Emily.
0:20:27 > 0:20:31Yeah, again, probably not a great category for me.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33I wasn't that old in the '90s,
0:20:33 > 0:20:36so I can't really remember many of these things.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40Um... But there is one that I know definitely.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44So I'm going to say that Kim Jong-Il became leader of this country,
0:20:44 > 0:20:46- and that is North Korea. - North Korea, says Emily,
0:20:46 > 0:20:48for Kim Jong-Il. Let's see if that's right.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50Let's see how many people said North Korea.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55It is right.
0:20:55 > 0:20:56Well, it was 40 for Good Friday.
0:20:56 > 0:20:5957 for North Korea.
0:20:59 > 0:21:03APPLAUSE
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Yeah, very good answer, became leader in 1994.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07Thank you, Richard.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10Now, Fergus, you are the last person to have this board.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12Do you want to talk us through it?
0:21:12 > 0:21:15- I can guess you through it, if you'd like.- Why not do that.
0:21:15 > 0:21:19I think the first one there would be George Bush Sr.
0:21:19 > 0:21:23The next one, I think, might be Condoleezza Rice.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26The Prime Minister of Israel, again, Ariel Sharon comes to mind,
0:21:26 > 0:21:28but I don't know.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32And the bottom one, I'm not 100%, but...
0:21:33 > 0:21:35I'm not 100% on any of them,
0:21:35 > 0:21:38and I think it would be the last one if it is correct.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40So I think it is Burma,
0:21:40 > 0:21:42or Myanmar.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44OK, you are going to say Burma, or Myanmar.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46Let's see if that's right.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49And if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53It is absolutely right. Very well done, Fergus.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Lowest score so far, well done.
0:21:58 > 0:22:0028 for Burma.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Well played, Fergus. The other three were lower scores.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Lucky you didn't go for them none of the guesses were right.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10- American businessman, it's a terrific answer.- Ross Perot.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12It was Ross Perot, yeah. 4 points for that.
0:22:12 > 0:22:16The politician, not Condoleezza Rice but Madeleine Albright.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19She would have scored you 5. And the Prime Minister of Israel.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22- Yitzhak Shamir, no?- Yitzhak Rabin.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24- Yitzhak Rabin!- 7 points for that.
0:22:24 > 0:22:25So Ross Perot the best answer there.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28Thanks very much indeed, Richard. We are halfway through the round,
0:22:28 > 0:22:29let's look at those scores. 28,
0:22:29 > 0:22:31the best of that pass. Well done, Fergus.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34Then up to 40, where we find Emma and Liz.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Then up to 57 with Emily and Dave.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38So, Dave, yes,
0:22:38 > 0:22:40we are all relying on you, but no-one more than Emily.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43Good luck. We are going to come back down the line now.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:22:48 > 0:22:51OK, let's put six more clues up on the board. And here they come.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19I'll read those all one last time.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46So, over to you. Remember, we are
0:23:46 > 0:23:49looking for the events or people described by these clues.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52They all happened in the 1990s.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55This is quite hard for me cos I'm not very good at all on politics.
0:23:58 > 0:23:59Just trying to think...
0:23:59 > 0:24:02I think my best chance might be a UK Chancellor.
0:24:02 > 0:24:06- I'm going to go for Nigel Lawson. - Nigel Lawson, says Sue.
0:24:06 > 0:24:07Nigel Lawson. Here is your red line.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10If you can get below this with Nigel Lawson,
0:24:10 > 0:24:12you are through to the head-to-head.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15Let's see if it is right, though, Nigel Lawson.
0:24:19 > 0:24:20- Sorry, Sue.- Sorry.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23I'm afraid not Nigel Lawson. Scores you 100 points,
0:24:23 > 0:24:25takes your total up to 128.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Yeah, sorry, Sue. I'll give the correct answer
0:24:27 > 0:24:29- at the end of the past. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32Now, Dave, if you can score 70 or less, you are in the head-to-head.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35- How do you like the board? - It is a tough board, actually.
0:24:35 > 0:24:39I thought I would be all right. I was better on the first board.
0:24:39 > 0:24:43Um... But having got a hint from...
0:24:43 > 0:24:44Sorry, Sue.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48..from the UK Chancellor, I'll go the same and say Norman Lamont.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50Norman Lamont, says Dave. Here's your red line.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53If you can get below that red line with Norman Lamont,
0:24:53 > 0:24:55you're in the head-to-head. Let's see if you can.
0:24:58 > 0:24:59It's right.
0:25:01 > 0:25:02You are in the head-to-head, well done.
0:25:04 > 0:25:0610 for Norman Lamont,
0:25:06 > 0:25:10taking your total up to 67.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13Well played, Dave.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16Very nicely done. I think Sue knew it as soon as you said it as well.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Yeah, Black Wednesday, interest rates up to 15%.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21You know who one of his advisers was at the time we were going through
0:25:21 > 0:25:23- all that?- David Cameron. - David Cameron, yeah.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Now, Liz.
0:25:27 > 0:25:31Liz, you want to be scoring 87 or less.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33OK, can I talk you through the board?
0:25:33 > 0:25:35I would be so upset if you didn't.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38I'm kidding!
0:25:38 > 0:25:44Um, no, I don't know any of them apart from the obvious one,
0:25:44 > 0:25:47which I'm hoping will score less than 87.
0:25:48 > 0:25:52The Labour leader who became Prime Minister of the UK in 1997,
0:25:52 > 0:25:53I think, was Tony Blair.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56Tony Blair, says Liz. Tony Blair. Here is your red line.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59Nice and high. If you can get below that with Tony Blair,
0:25:59 > 0:26:00you're in the head-to-head.
0:26:00 > 0:26:01Let's see if you can.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07You can and you do. Look at that. 73, good enough.
0:26:09 > 0:26:10113
0:26:10 > 0:26:11is your total.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16Well played, Liz. You did exactly what you had to do there.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18He became the youngest prime minister in 200 years,
0:26:18 > 0:26:20at the age of 43, Tony Blair.
0:26:21 > 0:26:25The first female prime minister of France was Edith Cresson.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28- Delicious! - LAUGHTER
0:26:28 > 0:26:31That was a pointless answer. Well done if you said it.
0:26:31 > 0:26:35- The set of accords were named after Oslo.- Oslo, yes.
0:26:35 > 0:26:385 points for that. Do you know the Egyptian?
0:26:38 > 0:26:42- It was a Boutros Boutros-Ghali. - Boutros Boutros-Ghali, absolutely.
0:26:42 > 0:26:43He would have scored you 5.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46And another pointless answer down at the bottom, actually.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48It is Jean-Bertrand Aristide.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50Very well done if you said that.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52He was elected twice and overthrown twice.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55- Two pointless answers on one board. - How about that?
0:26:55 > 0:26:58- Getting a little bit generous there. - What can I tell you? It's Christmas.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00Hold on... LAUGHTER
0:27:00 > 0:27:02Well, thank you very much indeed.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04We are at the end of our second round
0:27:04 > 0:27:07and I'm afraid the pair heading home, our second returning pair.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10It's Sue and Fergus. Well, Fergus, you did very well there.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13Not so much in filling in the board but in selecting the right answer.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15This is the end of the road, where we have to say goodbye.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18It has been great having you. Thank you so much.
0:27:18 > 0:27:19- Sue and Fergus.- Thank you.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22APPLAUSE
0:27:22 > 0:27:25But for the remaining two pairs, it is now time for head-to-head.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34Congratulations, David and Emily, Liz and Emma.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36You are now one step closer to the final and a chance to
0:27:36 > 0:27:40play for our jackpot, which stands, rather excitingly, at £4,500.
0:27:40 > 0:27:44APPLAUSE AND OHS
0:27:44 > 0:27:48Well, congratulations, A - for knocking out our two returning
0:27:48 > 0:27:49pairs, very well done indeed,
0:27:49 > 0:27:53B - making it to the head-to-head with such an exciting jackpot there,
0:27:53 > 0:27:55and C - for having some good low answers.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57We've had some great answers from you.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59Norman Lamont in the last round,
0:27:59 > 0:28:02Whitney Houston in Round One, so I think now you can confer,
0:28:02 > 0:28:04put your heads together, this should be very close.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15Here comes your first question, and it concerns...
0:28:18 > 0:28:19Blacked out flags, Richard.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22We'll show you the flags of five different countries,
0:28:22 > 0:28:25but we've blacked out one of the colours in the flag.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27Can you tell us what those colours are, please?
0:28:27 > 0:28:28OK, thank you very much.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31Let's reveal our five flags with blacked out colours,
0:28:31 > 0:28:33and here they are. We have got...
0:29:01 > 0:29:02There we are.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08Dave and Emily, you have been our low scorers throughout,
0:29:08 > 0:29:10so you will be our first to answer.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24OK, I think I know Latvia.
0:29:24 > 0:29:26Dad just asked me how sure.
0:29:26 > 0:29:30Quite sure, so hopefully it'll be a low scorer, if it is correct.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33So I think Latvia is white.
0:29:33 > 0:29:34Latvia, white,
0:29:34 > 0:29:37say Dave and Emily. Latvia, white.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39Now, Liz and Emma, talk us through the rest of those flags,
0:29:39 > 0:29:41if you care.
0:29:41 > 0:29:45We don't know any for definite. I have been to Sri Lanka.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48I am kicking myself cos I can't think what that is.
0:29:48 > 0:29:53We are going to go for a guess, and our best guess is Cameroon and red.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55Cameroon, red, say Liz and Emma.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57So we have Latvia - white, and Cameroon - red.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00Dave and Emily said white for Latvia. Let's see if that's right.
0:30:00 > 0:30:04And if it is, let's see how many people of our 100 people said white.
0:30:06 > 0:30:07It's right.
0:30:14 > 0:30:1531 for white.
0:30:15 > 0:30:19Now, Liz and Emma meanwhile have said red for Cameroon.
0:30:19 > 0:30:21Let's see if that is right.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23And if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said red.
0:30:26 > 0:30:27It's right.
0:30:27 > 0:30:28Good punt.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30It has to be 31. Will it?
0:30:30 > 0:30:3343 for Cameroon.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35APPLAUSE
0:30:35 > 0:30:37Two good answers there, though, but, Dave and Emily,
0:30:37 > 0:30:39- after one question, you are up 1-nil.- Well played.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42There is one answer there that would have beaten Latvia.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45It is not Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka is green.
0:30:45 > 0:30:49So, uh, that flag should look familiar to you.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51Would have scored you 37.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53The best answer is Colombia.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56In the middle colour there is blue.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58Well done if you said that. 27 points.
0:30:58 > 0:31:02And Portugal at the end, it's another green.
0:31:02 > 0:31:05That would have scored you 55 points.
0:31:05 > 0:31:09Thank you very much indeed. OK, here comes your second question.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11Liz and Emma, you get to answer first,
0:31:11 > 0:31:13but you have to win it to stay in, so best of luck.
0:31:13 > 0:31:14It concerns...
0:31:17 > 0:31:19British sitcoms, Richard.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21We are going to show the initials now of five British sitcoms
0:31:21 > 0:31:24and the year in which they were first broadcast on the BBC.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27Can you give us the most obscure answer from this list?
0:31:27 > 0:31:30OK, let's reveal our initials, and here they come.
0:31:30 > 0:31:31We have got...
0:31:44 > 0:31:46I'll read those all one last time.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58Liz and Emma will go first.
0:32:08 > 0:32:12Right, we definitely know two. Um... It's just...
0:32:12 > 0:32:14We are going to go for
0:32:14 > 0:32:18OFITG - 1990, which is One Foot In The Grave.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20One Foot In The Grave, say Liz and Emma.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22Now, Dave and Emily, over to you.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24Talk us through that board if you can.
0:32:24 > 0:32:28Well, I think the top one will be Steptoe And Son.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30Only Fools And Horses.
0:32:30 > 0:32:33Then Just Good Friends and House Of Fools.
0:32:33 > 0:32:37Do we think 2014 will be the lowest score?
0:32:37 > 0:32:42- Yeah. Well, I didn't know that one. - OK.- House Of Fools, yeah?- Mm-hm.
0:32:42 > 0:32:43House Of Fools.
0:32:43 > 0:32:45So One Foot In The Grave versus House Of Fools.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47Liz and Emma went for One Foot In The Grave.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said it.
0:32:52 > 0:32:54It is right.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01Not bad, 18.
0:33:01 > 0:33:0318 for One Foot In The Grave.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08David and Emily meanwhile have gone for House Of Fools.
0:33:08 > 0:33:09Let's see if that's right.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12If it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:33:15 > 0:33:16It's right.
0:33:18 > 0:33:20It has to be 18...
0:33:20 > 0:33:22And it does, look at that.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24House of fools, down to 4.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27Very good answer, Dave and Emily, and that means, after only two
0:33:27 > 0:33:30questions, you are straight through to the final, 2-nil.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33Yes, the best answer on the board, so very well played there.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36I think, Emily, you gave both the answers and that head-to-head,
0:33:36 > 0:33:38didn't you? They were both very, very strong ones indeed.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41The top one, Steptoe And Son, you are absolute right about,
0:33:41 > 0:33:42very low scorer - 5 points.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44Amazingly.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47Only Fools And Horses is a big scorer, though.
0:33:47 > 0:33:4852 for that.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51And you were right, David, about Just Good Friends as well.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54Another good score, actually. 16 points that would have got you.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57Thank you very much indeed, Richard. So at the end of our head-to-head,
0:33:57 > 0:34:00I'm afraid the couple we are saying goodbye to is Liz and Emma.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02I'm so sorry.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05Nothing wrong with either of your answers there, just Emily.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08- She just knows everything. - Lots of competition.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10Well, we will say goodbye to you, but the good news is,
0:34:10 > 0:34:12we get to see you next time. We look forward to that.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14- Liz and Emma.- BOTH:- Thank you.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16APPLAUSE
0:34:16 > 0:34:19But for David and Emily, it is now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25Congratulations, Dave and Emily, you have seen off all
0:34:25 > 0:34:29the competition and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:34:36 > 0:34:42At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £4,500.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45That is turning into quite a jackpot now. Well done, you.
0:34:45 > 0:34:49A stealth raid on Pointless, your first and only appearance.
0:34:49 > 0:34:50Wouldn't it be wonderful,
0:34:50 > 0:34:53a nice category coming up on that board,
0:34:53 > 0:34:56you winning the jackpot, maybe take some of that winning streak
0:34:56 > 0:34:57back to Lincoln with you, Dave.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00What would you like to come up in this last round?
0:35:00 > 0:35:03Sport particularly.
0:35:03 > 0:35:06- Cricket or something like that. - Emily?
0:35:06 > 0:35:08Yeah, I'd have to say sport as well.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11Maybe something based on Spain, maybe?
0:35:11 > 0:35:13- That might be quite good. - Something based on Spain, OK.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16Well, as always, you get to choose your category from the four
0:35:16 > 0:35:19we put up on the board. Let's see what today's choices are.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33Not quite the sport we were thinking of.
0:35:33 > 0:35:37- What do you think?- Definitely not American crime writers.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39Not 1950s jazz albums.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42Shall we go combat sports? Go on, then. Combat sports, please.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44OK, combat sports it is, Rich.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46Yeah, couple of things I get asked for all the time,
0:35:46 > 0:35:49though not specifically by the two of you, I have to say.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52But there is one of them I think you might have a crack at.
0:35:52 > 0:35:53But we are looking for...
0:35:53 > 0:35:57Any Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight champion all
0:35:57 > 0:36:01the way through from 1987 to April 2014, including interim champions.
0:36:01 > 0:36:05We are looking for any of the 30 participants in the 2014
0:36:05 > 0:36:06WWE Royal Rumble.
0:36:06 > 0:36:10Or we are looking for anybody who has been inducted into the
0:36:10 > 0:36:14International Boxing Hall Of Fame under their modern section, please.
0:36:14 > 0:36:16And that is up to April 2014 as well.
0:36:16 > 0:36:20HE READS THE BOARD
0:36:23 > 0:36:25Very best of luck.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28Thank you very much indeed. Now, as always, you've got one minute
0:36:28 > 0:36:31for three answers. All you need to win that jackpot is for
0:36:31 > 0:36:34just one of those answers to be pointless. Are you ready?
0:36:34 > 0:36:39- Yes.- OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the board. There they are.
0:36:39 > 0:36:40Your time starts now.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42- Right.- Do you know any boxing?
0:36:42 > 0:36:45I don't know anybody who was a UFC heavyweight champion or
0:36:45 > 0:36:47Royal Rumble, so it's boxing.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49Quick, can you think of some boxing people?
0:36:49 > 0:36:52- Uh...- I've been watching the WWE, I should be able to think...
0:36:52 > 0:36:54What modern...? Marvin Hagler...
0:36:56 > 0:36:58I don't know anything, so I'm just leaving it to you.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01Thank you(!) Sugar Ray Leonard.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05I do know a few names from the WWE.
0:37:05 > 0:37:09What is the guy's name? I've forgotten.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13Tommy Hearns. Tommy 'The Hitman' Hearns.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17- That is a good one.- Are these quite low scorers, do you think?
0:37:17 > 0:37:21- They are all boxers, I think that is a start.- In the Hall of Fame?
0:37:21 > 0:37:23- I have no idea.- OK.
0:37:23 > 0:37:25I know there's somebody in the WWE.
0:37:25 > 0:37:27I'm not sure of his exact name, but I can remember one name.
0:37:27 > 0:37:30It is something like Rusev or something like that.
0:37:30 > 0:37:31Ten seconds left.
0:37:31 > 0:37:36I don't know. We'll have to go with three that you have thought of, OK?
0:37:36 > 0:37:38OK.
0:37:38 > 0:37:39We will go with those three names.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41That's your minute up, let's have your three answers
0:37:41 > 0:37:43and if you can say which category your on.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46- Well, they are all from the boxing Hall of Fame.- OK.
0:37:46 > 0:37:50- So I'll go with Sugar Ray Leonard. - Sugar Ray Leonard.
0:37:50 > 0:37:52- Marvin Hagler.- Marvin Hagler.
0:37:52 > 0:37:56- And Tommy Hearns. - And Tommy 'The Hitman' Hearns, OK.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59Now, of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:37:59 > 0:38:02I would say, if it is right, probably Tommy Hearns.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05Tommy Hearns we put last. Least likely to be pointless?
0:38:05 > 0:38:07- Sugar Ray Leonard. - Sugar Ray Leonard we put first.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10OK, let's put those answers up on the board in that order, then.
0:38:10 > 0:38:12And here they are. We've got...
0:38:16 > 0:38:19Well, very, very best of luck. Your first answer was Sugar Ray Leonard.
0:38:19 > 0:38:23Only one of them has to be pointless for you to win the jackpot.
0:38:23 > 0:38:28Nice jackpot, 4,500 quid. What would you do if you won that, Dave?
0:38:28 > 0:38:31Well, not very exciting, but we are thinking of doing
0:38:31 > 0:38:35the garden up, so might be able to have some super-duper water feature,
0:38:35 > 0:38:36you know.
0:38:36 > 0:38:40- Emily, how about you?- I think I'd put a little bit towards a car.
0:38:40 > 0:38:44A little bit towards a holiday. I'd quite like to go to America.
0:38:44 > 0:38:46Excellent. Well, very, very best of luck.
0:38:46 > 0:38:47Three good answers on the board.
0:38:47 > 0:38:49Sugar Ray Leonard, your least confident.
0:38:49 > 0:38:52Let's find out if it's right and if it is pointless, it'll win you
0:38:52 > 0:38:55£4,500. How many people said Sugar Ray Leonard?
0:38:57 > 0:38:59It's right.
0:38:59 > 0:39:01Your first answer, Sugar Ray Leonard,
0:39:01 > 0:39:03taking us down through the 40s.
0:39:03 > 0:39:04If this goes all the way down to zero,
0:39:04 > 0:39:06you will leave here with that jackpot of £4,500.
0:39:06 > 0:39:08Single figures. Still going down.
0:39:08 > 0:39:10Down it goes to 1!
0:39:10 > 0:39:11AUDIENCE: Oh!
0:39:11 > 0:39:13Wow.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15APPLAUSE
0:39:17 > 0:39:20Fabulous. That is a great answer.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23And that was the one you thought was least likely to be pointless.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25- HE EXHALES LOUDLY - OK, very well done indeed.
0:39:25 > 0:39:27Two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:39:27 > 0:39:29Your second answer was Marvin Hagler.
0:39:29 > 0:39:33Again, we were looking for inductees into the boxing Hall of Fame.
0:39:33 > 0:39:35This has to be right, then pointless.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38If it is both of those things, you will win £4,500.
0:39:38 > 0:39:40How many people said Marvin Hagler?
0:39:42 > 0:39:43It's right.
0:39:43 > 0:39:45Your first answer, Sugar Ray Leonard,
0:39:45 > 0:39:47took us all the way down to 1.
0:39:47 > 0:39:49Marvin Hagler now taking us down through
0:39:49 > 0:39:50the 30s and the 20s.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52Through the teens. Into single figures.
0:39:52 > 0:39:54Still going down. Down it goes.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56Down it goes. 1 again!
0:39:56 > 0:39:59APPLAUSE
0:40:00 > 0:40:04Two amazing answers there.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06Who is that person you asked?
0:40:07 > 0:40:10OK, sadly, neither of those answers pointless,
0:40:10 > 0:40:13so everything is now riding on your third and final answer,
0:40:13 > 0:40:15which is Thomas Hearns.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17This was the one you were most confident about.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22Let's find out. If it is pointless, you will win £4,500.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25How many people said Thomas Hearns?
0:40:28 > 0:40:30It's right.
0:40:30 > 0:40:32So, your first answer, Sugar Ray Leonard, took us
0:40:32 > 0:40:33all the way down to 1.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35Your second answer, Marvin Hagler,
0:40:35 > 0:40:37took us all the way down to 1.
0:40:37 > 0:40:38Your third and final answer,
0:40:38 > 0:40:39can it break through? Down it goes.
0:40:39 > 0:40:42Still going down. Down it goes... You've done it!
0:40:42 > 0:40:44Very well done indeed.
0:40:45 > 0:40:48Fabulous job. Superb.
0:40:50 > 0:40:52Fantastic.
0:40:52 > 0:40:56APPLAUSE
0:40:56 > 0:41:00Ah, congratulations. Thomas Hearns was a pointless answer,
0:41:00 > 0:41:03which means you go home with that jackpot of £4,500.
0:41:03 > 0:41:05It is going to be like Versailles in your garden.
0:41:05 > 0:41:08Well done, well done.
0:41:08 > 0:41:10Superb work.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13Yeah, absolutely lovely to watch.
0:41:13 > 0:41:15Emily got you through the head-to-head and then, Dave,
0:41:15 > 0:41:18the pointless answers there. It looked like a tough category,
0:41:18 > 0:41:21but you look at that boxing one, any boxing fan in the country
0:41:21 > 0:41:22would've got a pointless answer,
0:41:22 > 0:41:25there are so many on the list, so many famous names on that list.
0:41:25 > 0:41:27Thomas 'Hitman' Hearns, a terrific one.
0:41:27 > 0:41:29Very few, actually, scored any points.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32You were unlucky to hit 1s with Hagler and Leonard.
0:41:32 > 0:41:35And funnily enough, also, Emily, you gave us
0:41:35 > 0:41:37a very good answer for one of the Royal Rumble...
0:41:37 > 0:41:41Alexander Rusev, he would have been a pointless answer.
0:41:41 > 0:41:44But let's start with the UFC heavyweight champions.
0:41:44 > 0:41:48I know some people love this wall. We've got loads of these answers.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54You could've had Bas Rutten, Josh Barnett, Rico Rodriguez or
0:41:54 > 0:41:57Shane Carwin. Very well done if you said any of those.
0:41:57 > 0:41:59Royal Rumble participants...
0:42:02 > 0:42:05I can't believe you didn't think of The Miz.
0:42:05 > 0:42:09You could have had, as I say, Rusev, Damien Sandow, Erick Rowan,
0:42:09 > 0:42:12Fandango and you could've had Jack Swagger.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15Now, International Boxing Hall of Fame inductees.
0:42:15 > 0:42:19Some huge names on this list, all boxing fans will know all of them.
0:42:23 > 0:42:25You could've had Archie Moore, Arturo Gatti,
0:42:25 > 0:42:28Azumah Nelson... Jake LaMotta was a pointless answer.
0:42:28 > 0:42:30Jersey Joe Walker was a pointless answer.
0:42:30 > 0:42:34Joe Lewis is a pointless answer. Felix Trinidad, Julio Cesar Chavez.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36You could've had Ken Buchanan, Michael Spinks.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38Sugar Ray Robinson was a pointless answer.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40There's loads of pointless answers out there.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42Well done boxing fans if you got any of those.
0:42:42 > 0:42:45And congratulations in the studio, it was a great performance.
0:42:45 > 0:42:46Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:42:46 > 0:42:48Well, thanks once again to our winning players,
0:42:48 > 0:42:52Dave and Emily, who go away with today's jackpot of £4,500.
0:42:52 > 0:42:55APPLAUSE
0:42:55 > 0:42:58Join us next time when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge
0:42:58 > 0:42:59to the test on Pointless.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01- Meanwhile, it is goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:01 > 0:43:03And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
