Episode 10 Pointless

APPLAUSE

Thank you very much indeed.

Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless -

the game where we aim for the obscure and we ignore the obvious.

Let's meet today's players.

APPLAUSE

And couple number one.

Hi, Alex. I'm Bob. This is my son Kevin.

Kevin is in outside catering and I'm a semi-retired car park

attendant and we are both from Ipswich, which is in Suffolk.

Couple number two.

Hi, I'm Louisa. This is my housemate, Sara.

I'm from London, she's from St Albans, and we're both students.

-Couple number three.

-Hello, I'm David. This is my fiancee, Yvonne.

We're from Doncaster.

I'm a furniture delivery driver and Yvonne is cabin crew.

And finally, couple number four.

Hi, I'm Jan and this is my friend Mike.

We've been friends for as long as either of us can remember.

Mike is from Dorset and I'm from Devon.

And these are today's contestants.

APPLAUSE

Thanks very much all of you. We will find out more about you

throughout the show as it goes along.

That just leaves one more person for me to introduce.

He arrived today in his fact-mobile,

or as it's known to the rest of us, the number 58 bus.

It might Pointless friend, it's Richard.

Hiya. Hi, everybody. Welcome along.

-Good afternoon.

-Good afternoon to you.

-How are you?

-Very well, thank you.

-Excellent. Two returning pairs.

Kevin and Bob got through to the head-to-head last time,

so they are the team to beat.

-And, oh, on podium four, poor Mike and Jan.

-Oh, I know.

-Ugh.

-They had a tennis round.

-I know.

-They're going to go sailing through.

I know.

Jan made the mistake that people had made before, Jan,

of attempting to pronounce Goran Ivanisevic's surname.

Very unlucky to be knocked out.

-They'll be looking to prove themselves in this show.

-Mm.

Good Round One, actually.

Some people are going to love Round One,

some people, I think, are going to struggle with it.

OK, interesting. Thank you. All our questions on Pointless

have been put to 100 people before the show.

Our contestants are looking for those obscure answers

our 100 people didn't get.

Of course, everyone is trying to find a pointless answer.

That's an answer that none of our 100 people gave.

Each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.

Now, Malcolm and Dawn didn't win the jackpot last time

so today's jackpot starts off with £1,000 added to it at £2,000.

APPLAUSE

Right. If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.

OK, now, all you have to remember is that the pair with

the highest score at the end of each round will be eliminated.

So just do what you can not to be that pair.

And also, no conferring till we get to the head-to-head.

OK, our first category today is...

Can you all decide in your pairs who will go first,

who is going to go second?

And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.

OK. And the question concerns...

First names of US sitcom characters, Richard.

In a moment, Xander is going to show you the names of four US sitcoms.

We're looking for the first names of any character who's appeared

in ten or more episodes of any of these sitcoms, please.

So the first name of any of the characters who have appeared

in ten or more episodes. And this is up to February, 2015.

Thanks very much indeed.

So as Richard just mentioned,

we're going to put the names of four sitcoms up on the board.

Let's see what they are. We've got...

Remember, we are looking for the first names

of characters from any of these four US sitcoms.

So, Bob, welcome back to the show. Welcome back.

Now, you are semi-retired you said in the introduction.

What did you used to do, Bob?

I was an apprentice-trained printer,

the exact job title was compositor, at the local newspaper in Ipswich.

-Wow. For how many years?

-40 years. Just under 40 years.

-That...

You must have seen a massive change, a complete revolution.

When I started as a lad it was hot metal.

An I was an I - it was upside down and back to front,

you held in your hand.

Good stuff. So, US sitcoms, Bob.

Um, I'm not a great lover of US sitcoms,

but I'm going to say one that is going to be pretty obvious,

I think, and I'll say Chandler.

OK, Chandler. Let's see if that's right.

If it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Chandler.

It's right.

-43.

-APPLAUSE

-43, Chandler.

-Yeah, played by Matthew Perry.

-He's been in 236 episodes of Friends.

-There we are.

So, now, Sara, welcome to Pointless. Great to have you here.

-Thank you.

-You are a student. What are you studying?

-Geography and Education Studies.

-How is it going?

-Good. Good. Yeah.

-Have you nearly finished?

-Yeah, it's my last year so graduating soon.

-Graduating soon.

Do you know what you're going to do next year?

-Be unemployed for a bit, I think? I have not got a clue.

-OK.

-OK.

-Yeah, hope for the best.

-OK, hope for the best.

Sara, American sitcoms.

I watch a couple of them.

I actually watched Arrested Development quite a bit

the past few months while I've been supposed to be studying.

-So I'm going to go for Maeby as a name.

-Maeby. Maeby.

OK, let's see how many of our 100 people said Maeby.

It's right.

Chandler scored 43. Maeby goes beyond that...

by quite a way!

It goes down to 1, Sara. Very well done indeed.

APPLAUSE

-1 for Maeby.

-Great answer, Sara. Very well played. 68 episodes, Maeby.

M-A-E-B-Y in case you are wondering.

-Mm.

-Beautiful name.

-Mm, a pretty name.

-It is a pretty name.

-It is a pretty name.

-It's a good name as well

if you don't know if you are having a boy or a girl.

LAUGHTER

-Very good indeed. Now, Yvonne, welcome to Pointless.

-Thank you.

-Great to have you here from Doncaster.

-Yes.

And you are cabin crew?

-I am, yes.

-That's fun. You do long-haul or short-haul?

A mixture.

-A favourite route?

-No, I enjoy them all, to be honest.

-I like the mixture and variation.

-Aw.

-Yeah.

I like the short ones just as much

because you get to meet the passengers that are nice.

And if you want, you can stay out for as long as you like

in the more far-flung...

-Not as long as I'd like always, no.

-No.

So, Yvonne, what are you going to go for?

Um, I don't really know anyone from Arrested Development or

The Big Bang Theory, so I'm going to go for Norm.

Norm. Norm, says Yvonne.

Let's see how many of our 100 people said Norm.

Look at that, down it goes. Wow!

13.

APPLAUSE

13 for Norm.

Oh, time was where Norm would have been way up in the paint cards.

No, absolutely. George Wendt played in 271 episodes.

-But Cheers, it's very much our generation, isn't it?

-Yeah, it is.

It was the Friends of our time, funnily enough.

-It was a big, big juggernaut US sitcom.

-Yeah.

-But not so much any more.

-Not so much. Thank you, Richard.

Now then. Jan, remind us what you like getting up to.

Well, we are both retired now obviously, but we both actually

work in our local schools helping small children to read.

Very satisfying, isn't it?

And the progress people make with reading just from doing it.

-Yes, exactly.

-Yeah, well done, you. Brilliant.

Do you find time to watch US sitcoms at all?

Sadly, I've found a lot of time to watch sitcoms.

This isn't sad, this is great news. Music to my ears.

But I think probably Friends is the one that's going to score

the highest, so I am going to go for Cheers

and I'm just going to hope against hope that I've remembered her name.

Oh, not one of these again!

Yeah, it is one of those but I can spell this one. Rebecca.

Rebecca, says Jan. Rebecca. Let's see if it's right.

Let's see how many of our 100 people said Rebecca.

It is right, Jan!

Well, if Norm scored 13, what is Rebecca going to score?

Ah! Second-best score up the round so far, Jan.

Very well done, indeed.

Impeccable tactics there as well switching to Cheers.

-Well done, Jan. Played by Kirstie Alley.

-Very good.

Thank you, Richard. We're halfway through the round.

Let's take a look at our scores. 1, Sara.

The best score of the pass.

Sara and Louisa looking pretty strong at this point.

Then up to 3 where we find Jan and Mike.

Up to 13, Yvonne and David.

Oh, Bob. Chandler. That was a high score there.

Luckily we've got Kevin on hand

and Kevin has American sitcoms sewn up, don't you, Kevin?

I wouldn't be too sure.

Good. OK, we'll come back down the line now.

Can the second players please step up to the podium?

-Mike. Welcome back.

-Thank you.

-We discovered from Jan that you also volunteer.

-Yes.

I go to a school where I live

and I'm also teaching a young adult to read.

-Are you?

-Yes, which is a bit more challenging than helping children.

That is interesting.

Do you find progress is a bit slower at that age?

-We're making good progress.

-That's good. I mean, rewarding.

Hugely rewarding.

So then, Mike - US sitcoms.

It's a big gap in my knowledge, I'm afraid.

I can't put a face... I haven't seen any of those.

Well, Jan has set you up incredibly well.

I know, it's very, very difficult.

So I'm going to have a guess at what I would regard as a fairly

common American name, but not in English. I'm going to say Chuck.

Chuck. OK, there is your red line, Mike.

Let's see if Chuck can get you below that. Fingers crossed.

How many people said Chuck? Is it right?

Ohhh, bad luck, Mike.

For now, you are the high-scorers

cos that's an incorrect answer. It scores you 100 points.

-Takes your total up to 103.

-Sorry, Mike.

No Chuck anywhere on those four, I'm afraid.

Well, certainly not in ten episodes or more.

Thanks, Richard. David. So what you do, David?

-I'm a furniture delivery driver.

-How long have you done that?

-Erm, since the beginning of the year.

-Oh, so new?

What we you doing before then?

-I was work... I had my own restaurant.

-Oh, no.

-What happened to the restaurant?

-It didn't work out.

-It was great times, but I had to move on from it.

-Oh.

And so how did you and Yvonne meet then?

She was a customer in my restaurant

and she started coming in very regularly.

And eventually, she asked me to recommend a cocktail for her.

I did like the look of her so I invented one.

And she said to me, "Can you tell me what this cocktail is called?"

I said, "What is your name?"

"Yvonne." So I said, "Well, this is an Yvonne." And the rest is history.

-That is smooth, isn't it?

-That is...

That is almost...almost creepy. But, yes.

LAUGHTER

That's... Well done and, listen, it works. Lord knows what was in it.

LAUGHTER

Listen, you're on 13. You have to score 89 or less

to get to the next round.

-I have a hunch you might be quite good at this.

-Yes.

I'm not a massive fan of American comedy,

but my daughter is a big fan of one of these programmes.

-And I'd like to see Sheldon, please.

-Sheldon says David. Sheldon.

Here's your red line.

If you can get below that with Sheldon, you are in Round Two.

Let's see how many of our 100 said Sheldon.

You've done it.

24.

Takes your total up to 37. Very well done indeed.

Yeah, Sheldon Cooper played by Jim Parsons. Great character.

Your daughter will be delighted you chose Big Bang Theory,

but then she'll go, "Oh, Dad, you went for the obvious one."

Yeah, exactly.

Thanks, Rich. Now then, Louisa. Louisa, great news for you.

You can't lose. Doesn't matter what you say,

you are through to the next round.

So, Louisa, are you all so about to leave university?

Yes. I've just finished.

-Oh, just finished? That's it?

-Waiting to graduate, hopefully.

-It's just that and all the parties...

-HE SIGHS

That's nice. That's fine. Have you got plans for the summer at least?

-Yeah, I'm going on holiday couple of times.

-Good. Very good.

So while you are lying back drinking an Yvonne... Mm.

As you know, don't...

Whatever you do, don't go for the job you think you're going to do

after you've drunk an Yvonne. I can't recommend that.

Well, listen, as I say, you are already through so why not try

-and go out on a limb and try and get a lower score than Sara's.

-OK.

I've never watched Arrested Development or Cheers,

but I have watched Friends and Big Bang Theory.

I think probably all of them. So I'm going to go for Gunther.

Gunther.

OK. Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 said it.

No red line for you cos you are already through.

Look at that! 10 for Gunther.

Takes your total up to 11, the lowest total of the round.

Well played, Louisa.

And I bet plenty of people at home were saying well played as well

because he's kind of the seventh friend, Gunther.

So it's the smart answer on Friends.

Thanks very much indeed.

Ah, Kevin, welcome back to the show. Remind us what you do.

I work in outside catering.

Yes, so we discovered you do all kinds of events.

But you are quite new to it.

We predominately do weddings, so every Saturday is a different

venue would and, yeah, very exciting.

What do you wear for a wedding, Kevin?

Do you have a particular dress or...

I mean, not a dress, obviously. You know what I mean.

Not a dress, even though

I do predominately do weddings at the weekends, but no dresses.

No, we have a front house uniform.

You're on 43. You have to score 59 or less.

I don't know much about Arrested Development, Cheers or

The Big Bang Theory, but the wife is a big fan of Friends.

I think she's watched every episode.

So I'm going to plump for a character from Friends.

Now, I'm thinking of two lowish ones.

I think Phoebe may have had a boyfriend once called Mike.

But the one I'm thinking of, I think Joey Tribbiani had a manager,

and I think her name could have been Estelle.

Estelle. Estelle.

There is your red line.

Let's see if we can get below that red line with Estelle.

How many of our 100 people said that?

It's right.

You are in Round Two.

That is a fantastic low score, Kevin!

Joint lowest score of the round. Very well done.

Taking your total up to 44.

That's really well played, Kevin. You say your wife's watched all of them.

You're watching quite a lot as well

if you're getting those two answers, to be fair.

You know, there's no pointless answers on Friends at all.

It's one of the best answers you could've given.

If you said Mike, you're absolutely right.

Phoebe's boyfriend would've scored 3 points.

It would've been a terrific answer.

No pointless answers at all on Friends, but I'll take you through

some of the pointless answers on the other sitcoms here.

You could have Al from Cheers. Alan also from Cheers.

Debbie Wolowitz from Big Bang Theory. That's a pointless answer.

Ernie, which was Coach's first name on Cheers,

is a pointless answer.

George-Michael is Michael Cera's character on Arrested Development.

In fact, every single Arrested Development character was pointless

other then George, Maeby and Gob.

They're the only ones that scored any points at all.

Kelly from Cheers.

Lindsay, Portia de Rossi's character on Arrested Development.

Michael, that's Jason Bateman's character on Arrested Development.

And Priya Koothrappali from Big Bang Theory also a pointless answer.

Thanks very much indeed, Richard.

So, at the end of our first round,

the pair who are heading home with a high score of 103.

Oh, Mike and Jan, I'm sorry. We have to say goodbye to you. I'm so sorry.

It's been wonderful having you on both shows.

-Thank you so much for playing. Mike and Jan.

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

APPLAUSE

But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.

And just like that we were down to three.

And obviously the end of this round, we'll have to be down to two.

Best of luck to all three pairs. Our category for Round Two today is...

UK Towns And Cities.

Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,

who is going to go second?

Whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.

OK. And the question concerns...

'On' and 'upon'... This is... I've thought of this before, actually.

-Have you?

-I've seen it and I thought, "Oh, that would be a good category."

-Well, this is great news for you, then.

-Isn't it?

On each board we're going to show you six clues to towns or cities

in the UK which have on or upon in their names.

You just need to guess the most obscure answer, please.

Six on each board, 12 for you to have a go at at home.

-12 for you to have a go at as well.

-I will. OK.

-Thank you, Richard.

-Pleasure.

OK, so we're looking for the names of these towns or cities

with on or upon in their names.

They are described by these six clues on the first board.

I'll read those all one last time.

Kevin, it is over to you.

I'm going to try the Essex coastal town home to the longest

pleasure pier in the world.

And I believe that that is Southend-upon-Sea.

Southend-upon-Sea. OK, let's see if that is right.

If it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Southend.

27.

27 for Southend.

APPLAUSE

Well done, Kevin. "Southend is the Pier, the Pier is Southend,"

John Betjeman said. It doesn't rhyme, but he said it.

-It's not strictly true either.

-It's not really.

-How do you mean?

Well, Southend is the pier. I mean, there's more to it than the pier.

No, I think he's being poetic.

"Southend is the Pier, the Pier is Southend."

Frinton and Clacton are just around the bend.

LAUGHTER

Lovely. Now, Sara.

-I have a few ideas for the top three.

-Good.

But I'm not 100% on any of them apart from the first.

So I'm just going to have to play it safe

and hope that Louisa can save me.

I'm going to go for the Warwickshire town and say Stratford-upon-Avon.

Stratford-upon-Avon, says Sara. Let's see if that's right.

If it is, let's see how many of our 100 people knew that.

It's right. 27 is our only score at this juncture.

At 48 is what you score for Stratford.

APPLAUSE

Yep. Better safe than sorry.

It's believed he was born on Henley Street in Stratford-upon-Avon.

Yvonne.

This board is all yours, by the way. You can talk us through it.

Fill in all the blanks.

Geography is my worst subject and that includes UK geography,

unfortunately.

The only one I think I do know, as it's very close to where we live,

is the East Yorkshire city announced as the UK City of Culture.

It's not Doncaster. I do believe it is Kingston upon Hull.

Kingston upon Hull.

Kingston upon Hull. I think that's a great answer. Let's see.

And it is right.

Well, 27 is the low score.

Oh, you fly past that to 17.

Very well done indeed, Yvonne. That's a great answer.

17 for Kingston upon Hull.

Well played, Yvonne. It beat Leicester, Dundee

and Swansea to that particular accolade, Kingston upon Hull.

London Royal Borough.

You had little thought about it, Sara, but you weren't sure.

-I had Kingston upon Thames.

-What would you go for?

-I'd have gone for the, yeah, same.

-You're both right.

Kingston upon Thames would have been a very low-scorer as well. 5 points.

The northeast town, do you know that one?

Stockton-upon-Tees.

Stockton-upon-Tees. I remember that from O Level History.

Would've scored you 10. And the Sussex coastal town.

-It's a beautiful place, this pavilion.

-I don't really know.

-If I say Bexhill-on-Sea, am I...?

-Are you asking me or telling me?

-Is that in Sussex, Bexhill-on-Sea? I'm pretty sure.

-Are you asking me?

-I'm...

-Is that your answer?

-Yes. I'm going to say Bexhill-on-Sea.

-Come on.

-Is the correct answer.

-Yay! Good.

-Very well done. 1 point.

The best answer on the board. Well done if you said it at home.

-You did well, didn't you?

-Yeah! OK. We are halfway through around.

Let's take a look at the scores.

17, well done, Yvonne.

Lovely low score there puts you and David ahead of the game somewhat.

Then up to 27 where we find father and son Kevin and Bob.

And then up to 48, Sara and Louisa. Little bit ahead of the game there.

So, Louisa, we need a low score is what I'm saying.

We'll come back down the line now.

Can the second players please step up to the podium?

OK, let's put six more clues to 'on' and 'upon' towns on the board.

And here they are.

I'll read those one last time.

David, there we are.

We're looking for the UK towns or cities with on or upon

in their names, described by these six clues.

I know a couple of them.

But I would like to go for

the Welsh town famous for it's annual book festival,

and say Ross-upon-Wye.

Ross-upon-Wye,

says David. Ross-upon-Wye. OK, let's see if that's right.

If it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.

There is your red line representing 30 points, which is

what you want to get below.

Ross-upon-Wye, let's see how many people said it.

Oh, David, I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

That's incorrect, scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 117.

You made Sara and Louisa very, very happy, though, David.

OK, now, Louisa.

-OK.

-You're on 48. The high-scorers are now David

and Yvonne on 117.

68 or less gets you through.

I know one definitely. And there's one that I'm, like,

not 100% sure on.

And the one that I know for sure,

I'm not sure if it's going to be low enough.

I'm going to go for the Surrey town,

home to Sacha Baron Cowen character Ali G.

-Say Staines-on-Thames?

-Staines-on-Thames, says Louisa.

Staines-on-Thames. Here is your red line.

Get below that, you're in the head-to-head.

Let's see how many people said Staines-on-Thames.

It's absolutely right. And you are through, well done.

Great score.

-54 is your total.

-Well played, Louisa.

Yeah, they renamed Staines in 2012

Staines-upon-Thames.

Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Bob.

Listen, you are on 27.

If you can score 89 or less, you are in the head-to-head.

I think the one that I am thinking about - not my answer - but I

was first thinking Henley-on-Thames, but that is not in Oxfordshire.

I think that is in Berkshire. I'm not really sure.

As I've got a bit of a cushion, I think

I'll take the easy option and say

the Northeast city, home to

St James' Park football stadium

is Newcastle upon Tyne.

Newcastle upon Tyne, says Bob. Newcastle upon Tyne.

Here is your red line.

If you can get below this with Newcastle upon Tyne,

you are in the head-to-head. Let's see if Bob can do it.

It's right. And you've done it.

67 is your total.

Well played, Bob. It is all you had to do. Not worth taking a risk.

Although, actually, the risk would have paid off.

Henley-on-Thames is in Oxfordshire. 22 points for that.

-Now, you are a Northumberland man.

-Hm!

-Do you know that one?

-Berwick-upon-Tweed.

-Berwick-upon-Tweed, of course.

Would have scored 10. Now the Nottinghamshire town?

-Trent is going to be the river.

-Yeah.

-It's...

-Newark-on-Trent.

-Newark-on-Trent.

Would have scored 3 points. Now, Ross-on-Wye is a place,

but it is not where the book festival is held, I'm afraid, David.

It is Hay-on-Wye.

-Hey!

-And would have scored 19 points. The best answer there is

Newark-on-Trent. Well done if you got that,

unless you live there. In which case, come on!

-LAUGHING:

-Thanks, Richard. At the end of our second round,

the pair heading home with a high score

of 117... I'm sorry, David and Yvonne, it's you.

Oh, that last podium,

-we have seen lots of people being evicted from there.

-Haven't we just?

We will see you again next time.

We look forward to that very much indeed.

Meantime, thanks for playing. David and Yvonne!

APPLAUSE

But for the remaining two pairs, it is now time for the head-to-head.

Congratulations, Sara and Louisa, Kevin and Bob.

You are now one step closer to the final

and a chance to play for our jackpot,

which currently stands at £2,000.

-There it is.

-APPLAUSE

So now this is where we decide who goes through to the final

and plays for that jackpot. We do that by making you go head-to-head.

The difference is you can now confer before you give your answers.

The first player to win two questions will be

playing for that jackpot.

Best of luck to both players. Let's play the head-to-head.

Here comes your first question. And it concerns...

Famous Hughs, Richard.

I'm going to show you five pictures now of famous people called Hugh.

Can you give us the most obscure of these, please?

Thanks very much. Let's reveal our five Hughs. And here they are.

We have got...

There we go. Five famous Hughs.

Sara and Louisa, you play best throughout the show so far,

so you will go first.

THEY WHISPER

Hugh Grant... The last one is Hugh Hefner.

THEY WHISPER

So, we knew three,

but they're probably all going to be quite high-scoring.

We are going to take a guess for the one we think would be

the lowest score. So we're going to go for B and Hugh Jackman.

Hugh Jackman, OK. Hugh Jackman, say Sara and Louisa.

-Kevin and Bob.

-C is Hugh Grant

and E, the Playboy guy, Hugh Hefner.

Do you know either A or D?

No. I could hazard a guess at A - Hugh Gaitskell.

But that'd be a real long shot, so I think we better go with E.

OK, we will go for E - Hugh Hefner.

OK, so we have Hugh Jackman and we have Hugh Hefner.

Sara and Louisa went for Hugh Jackman.

Let's see if that's right for B.

And if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Hugh Jackman.

It's right.

61 for Hugh Jackman.

Now, meanwhile, Kevin and Bob have gone for E and said Hugh Hefner.

Let's see if Hugh Hefner is right. Let's see how many people said that.

It is right.

Will it beat 61? Yes, it will!

Hugh Hefner, 52.

APPLAUSE

Very well done, you have nicked it, Kevin and Bob.

-After one question, you are up 1-nil.

-Well played, gents.

It would have been even more spectacular

if you had gone for Hugh Gaitskell - it is a correct answer.

It would have scored you 12 points.

C is Hugh Grant.

Very big score. Would have scored you 90.

-And D is the journalist Hugh Pym.

-Hugh Pym!

It seems unfair that everyone else has got these big photos

and he's had his passport photo used.

-Yeah!

-LAUGHTER

Um, thanks very much, Richard. Here comes your second question now.

Sara and Louisa, you have to win this one to stay in the game.

So best of luck. It concerns...

Oasis, Richard.

I'll give you five clues now to facts about the band Oasis

and its members. Can you give us the most obscure answer?

-Good luck.

-Let's reveal our five clues, and here they are.

I'll read those all one last time.

Kevin and Bob, it is over to you.

-Do you know any of those?

-I think the sitcom is...

THEY WHISPER

So, yeah, we know quite a few of them.

But we are going to go for the name of actress Liam Gallagher

married in 1997.

-And that was Patsy Kensit.

-Patsy Kensit, say Kevin and Bob.

Patsy Kensit.

So, Sara and Louisa, it is over you.

Talk us through as much of that board as you can.

Liam Gallagher's band, I think, is Beady Eye.

I don't know the Hollywood actor.

And Sara, I think she knows the bottom one.

The only Oasis album I can think of is What's The Story Morning Glory.

I think. If that is even an Oasis album.

So I think we're going to go for...Beady Eye?

Yeah, for Liam Gallagher's band, yeah, Beady Eye.

Beady Eye.

So, we have Kevin and Bob saying Patsy Kensit and Sara and Louisa

are saying Beady Eye. Kevin and Bob, Patty Kensit, let's see

if that's right for the actress Liam Gallagher married in 1997.

It's right.

APPLAUSE

Sara and Louisa, meanwhile, have said Beady Eye is

the name of the band that had the album

Different Gear, Still Speeding.

Let's see how many of our 100 said Beady Eye.

It's right.

And it wins you it, well done.

Back in the game.

Very good indeed.

-Which means after two questions, it is 1-all.

-Very well played.

You'd have done even better with the final answer,

cos you're absolutely right -

What's The Story Morning Glory was the name of the second album.

-Scored 12 points. Top one there, the sitcom, is...

-Royle Family.

Royle Family. Would have scored 31.

And the Hollywood actor, best answer on the board.

-It was Johnny Depp.

-Oh, was it?

Would have scored 8 points. Well done if you said that at home.

Thanks very much. OK, it comes down to the third and final question.

This is the decider. Whoever wins this goes through to the final

and plays for that jackpot. Best of luck to both pairs.

Our third question today concerns...

Mountain Ranges, Richard.

I'm going to show you five names of mountain ranges now,

but they are in anagram form.

Can you unscramble them and give us the most obscure answer?

Best of luck, both teams.

OK, let's reveal our five anagrams, and here they come. We've got...

Sara and Louisa, you will go first.

THEY WHISPER

OK, we really can't figure any of these out.

-Anagrams aren't our strong...

-At all.

-..suit.

I think the top one is the Himalayas.

OK, Himalayas, say Sara and Louisa, for the top one. Himalayas.

-Now, Kevin and Bob, that board is all yours. Talk us through it.

-Sure.

I think the second one down is possibly the Rockies,

the Rocky Mountains.

I think the one second from the bottom is the Pyrenees Mountains.

Shall we go for the Pyrenees?

Yeah, we will go for Pyrenees.

OK, we are going to go for Pyrenees.

Pyrenees. We have Himalayas and Pyrenees.

Sara and Louisa said Himalayas.

Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said it.

Himalayas scoring 61. Not bad.

APPLAUSE

Meanwhile, Kevin and Bob have gone for the Pyrenees.

Let's see Yen Spree.

How many of our 100 people said the Pyrenees?

It's right.

And it wins you the point, very well done indeed.

APPLAUSE

Well done, Kevin and Bob.

After three questions, you are through to the final 2-1.

Well played, gents. Once again, you knew a better answer up there,

cos it is Rockies.

And Rockies would have scored you 17 points. We'll go down to the bottom.

The bottom is actually the biggest scorer.

Neither team seemed to spot it.

But it is... Do you know that one?

-Andes.

-Andes, yep.

Would have scored 66.

And the best answer is Cads Case.

Any idea?

-I can't see it.

-Anyone in the audience?

-AUDIENCE:

-Cascades.

-Cascades is exactly right.

9 points. Well done if you said that at home.

Thank you very much, Richard. The pair leaving us at the end

of the head-to-head round...

I'm sorry to say, Sara and Louisa, it is you.

The good news is it means we get to see you again next time.

We look forward to that very much.

Meantime, thanks very much. Sara and Louisa!

-APPLAUSE

-Good luck.

-Thank you.

But for Kevin and Bob, it is now time for our Pointless final.

Congratulations, Kevin and Bob, you've seen off all the competition

and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.

You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.

At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £2,000.

There it is.

APPLAUSE

As always, you get to choose a category from the four that

appear on the screen behind me.

Let's see what we have got today.

We could go for UK Number One Singles,

but it might be modern stuff, where I'd be useless.

I think your sports knowledge is better than mine.

-Not Horror Film Directors?

-No, not Horror Film Directors.

-World Football it is then, yeah?

-World Football.

OK, World Football, Rich.

Let's take a look at the questions. We are looking for...

..in 2014, '15.

..in 2015. Or any team who played in the South African...

..in 2014, 2015.

Any team in those, please. Very best of luck.

OK. Now, as always, you have got up to one minute to come up

with three answers. All you need to win that jackpot

is for just one of those answers to be pointless.

Are you ready?

OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock. There they are.

Your time starts now!

I think there is a team that plays in the Argentinian league called...

Boca. Um...

Is that all you need to know or is it Boca something else?

Yeah, it is Boca something else.

You are on your own here, Kev,

cos I couldn't name a single team from any of those.

I think there is an Arsenal in the Argentinian league.

-Boca Juniors.

-Sounds good.

-Boca Juniors, I think, plays in Argentina.

-That sounds good.

I think there is an Arsenal that plays

in the Argentinian Premier League as well.

-Right.

-Sounds strange, but I think there is an Arsenal.

So there are my two - Boca Juniors and Arsenal.

The other two...

Do you want to guess at maybe the Wallabies or the Springboks?

No, because both of those are rugby teams, aren't they?

Well, you could try Australian.

-Um...

-Australian Wallabies?

-A-league teams.

-Now, I've got one I'm going to go for, I think.

-OK.

-Yep. OK, yeah.

-Ten seconds left.

-So what is that one?

-That is the Penrith Panthers.

-That's not soccer.

-It's not? It's not soccer?

I think it is Australian Rules.

OK, that is your time up. I now need your three answers.

What are you going to give me?

OK, so the first one was an Argentinian football team.

-Boca Juniors.

-The Boca Juniors.

Yeah. I also believe there is a team playing in Argentina called Arsenal.

-Arsenal.

-As strange as that may sound.

-OK.

And we are going to make up a third?

Make one up for an Australian A-league team.

We need a major town or city and something football-y after it.

-OK, so the Sydney Wallabies?

-The Sydney Wallabies.

The Sydney Wallabies.

OK, of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?

-I think probably Boca Juniors.

-Boca Juniors go last.

Least likely to be pointless?

I think we know is probably the Sydney Wallabies.

Go, the Wallabies! OK, well, let's put them up on the board

in that order, then. And here they are.

Very, very best of luck.

Now, two pretty confident answers on that board there from Kevin.

Let's just suppose that at least one of those is pointless.

What would you do with your winnings, Kevin?

£1,000. I would probably put that towards a family holiday.

I've got three young children - Charlie, Vinnie and Lucy. Hello.

-So, yeah, family holiday.

-Family holiday, very nice.

Bob, how about you?

I think I would give it to Kevin

and then he could take his resident baby-sitters with him.

-LAUGHTER

-His mum and dad.

Very good indeed. Well, very best of luck.

Three answers on the board. Your first answer, the one you are

probably least of confident in, is the Sydney Wallabies.

In this case, we were looking for Australian A-league teams.

Let's see if the Sydney Wallabies features on that list.

And if it does, let's see if it is pointless.

How many people said it for £2,000?

Oh!

I'm afraid that is an incorrect answer.

Not a pointless answer there.

Only two more shots at today's jackpot,

but we are now very much on terra firma, aren't we?

Your next answer, and in this case we were looking for Argentinian

Primera A teams, you have gone for a team called Arsenal.

Let's discover if that is correct.

And if it is, let's see how many people said it.

If it is pointless, you will win £2,000.

How many people said Arsenal?

It's right.

That one paid off, Kevin, very well done indeed.

Your first answer, Sydney Wallabies,

unsurprisingly, was incorrect.

Arsenal taking us through the teens,

single figures. Down it goes.

Still going down, still going down...

1!

So close! So close.

1!

Very well done indeed. That is a fantastic score.

From 100 to 1 in two answers.

Still not a pointless answer.

We only have one more shot at today's jackpot.

In this case, your last answer - Boca Juniors.

We were looking for, again, Argentinian Primera A teams.

Let's find out if Boca Juniors is correct.

Let's find out how many people said it.

If it is pointless, it'll win you £2,000. Boca Juniors.

It's right.

-Go on, mate.

-Your first answer, Sydney Wallabies, was incorrect.

Your second answer, Arsenal, took us all

the way down to 1. Boca Juniors is correct,

taking us down through the teens, down it goes...

Oh, no!

Well done, well done.

Well, I have to say, hats off to you. That was a fiendish round.

I mean, really, really, really tough. Unfortunately,

you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer.

I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £2,000.

That will roll over onto the next show.

It has been fabulous having you on both shows. You played so well.

-And you get a Pointless trophy each.

-Of course!

-So there we are.

APPLAUSE

You did very, very well. It is really unlucky.

1-nil to the Arsenal, I'm afraid.

Sydney Wallabies, I'm afraid they went down last season.

They're up, then down, up, then down.

No, they don't exist. Sydney FC would have scored you 20 points.

Boca Juniors is actually the second biggest scorer

of the Argentinian ones. River Plate would've scored you 18.

Let's look at the pointless answers. We'll start with Australia.

You said let's go for a major city and a football name.

You could've had...

Those are the only four pointless answers,

so very well done if you said any of those.

The Argentinian teams now, let's take a look at a few of those.

All of those, pointless answers.

The only ones that scored were River Plate, Boca Juniors,

Newell's Old Boys, Independiente,

Banfield, Velez Sarsfield, Arsenal,

Estudiantes and San Lorenzo.

Everything else was pointless.

Let's take a look at the South African Premier Division teams.

Ajax Cape Town, that is a good name for a team.

Again, not many scorers there.

Kaiser Chiefs, unsurprisingly, scored a few points - 9.

Orlando Pirates and Bloemfontein Celtic were

the only teams to score any points at all.

So if you got any others, very well played.

You have been brilliant for two shows now.

Really unlucky way to go out. I hope you have enjoyed

your time with us. We certainly enjoyed having you.

Thanks very much. Unfortunately,

we say goodbye to you, Kevin and Bob, but it has been fabulous,

as Richard says, having you on both shows.

What a great performance. Thank you so much for playing. Kevin and Bob.

-APPLAUSE

-Thank you, thank you.

Sadly, Kevin and Bob didn't win our jackpot today, which means it

rolls over onto the next show, when we will be playing for £3,000.

APPLAUSE

Join us next time to see if someone can win it.

-Meanwhile, it is goodbye from Richard.

-Goodbye.

And it is goodbye from me. Goodbye.
