0:00:22 > 0:00:25Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong.
0:00:25 > 0:00:27Welcome to Pointless, the show where all the questions
0:00:27 > 0:00:30have been put to 100 people before the show
0:00:30 > 0:00:32and all our contestants have to do is come up with the answers
0:00:32 > 0:00:35that no-one else can think of. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38APPLAUSE
0:00:40 > 0:00:42Couple number one.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45I'm Lucille. I'm from Surrey. I'm an office manager.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47I'm Geoff. I'm from Surrey. I'm a business analyst.

0:00:49 > 0:00:52My name is Barry. I'm from Cheshire. I'm a graphic designer.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56My name is Pete. I'm also from Cheshire. I'm a print manager.
0:00:56 > 0:00:57Couple number three.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Hello, my name is Simon. I'm from London.

0:01:02 > 0:01:05My name is Samantha. I'm from London as well. I'm a complaints officer.

0:01:10 > 0:01:14Hi, I'm Marc. I'm from Leeds. I'm a CGI artist.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16And these are today's contestants.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Thanks very much, all of you. We'll find out more about each
0:01:20 > 0:01:22of you throughout the show as it goes along.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25That just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28He sleeps on a bed of Pointless trophies and broken dreams.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32Hiya.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Hi, everybody.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38- Good afternoon.- And to you. - Three returning pairs today.- Yeah.
0:01:38 > 0:01:39That's nice, isn't it?
0:01:39 > 0:01:42We had Bec and Marc, who got through to the head-to-head.
0:01:42 > 0:01:43A fairly good team.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46- We've also got Barry and Pete, they got knocked out by one letter.- Yeah.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49In the second round. Riva instead of Riga, wasn't it, Pete?
0:01:49 > 0:01:51But actually, they were a very good pair.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53And Lucille and Geoff back on podium one.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Yeah. I've got real deja vu because, actually, we had Bec
0:01:56 > 0:01:58- and Marc on podium four as well. - They were, weren't they?
0:01:58 > 0:02:01Lucille and Geoff didn't linger long, did they, last time?
0:02:01 > 0:02:04- This time...- This time. - This time, longer, surely.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07And welcome, welcome, a hearty welcome to Simon and Samantha.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Everyone else here knows each other.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Simon and Samantha are like newcomers,
0:02:11 > 0:02:14- it must be quite scary for them. - Mmm.- Indeed.- Don't you think?
0:02:14 > 0:02:17THEY LAUGH Is everyone looking after you, Simon and Samantha?
0:02:17 > 0:02:19- Uh, yeah.- As well as they can be.- We're doing OK.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22- That means no.- All the mean jokes about the last show.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Oh, yeah, Marc's been mucking about with Pete. Geoff has been...
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Oh, yeah. It's been crazy.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31- Always tough.- It was an amazing week...- It was brilliant, wasn't it?
0:02:31 > 0:02:34Oh, this is not going to be... This is no way going to be as good.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36LAUGHTER
0:02:36 > 0:02:38- What a laugh we had.- What fun.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41- Good times.- The good old days. - Good times.
0:02:41 > 0:02:42Anyway, let's struggle on.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45All our questions on Pointless have been put
0:02:45 > 0:02:46to 100 people before the show.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48All our contestants have to do is find those obscure
0:02:48 > 0:02:50answers our 100 people couldn't find.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Of course, everyone is trying to find a pointless answer,
0:02:53 > 0:02:55that being an answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:02:55 > 0:02:56Each time that happens,
0:02:56 > 0:02:59we will celebrate by adding £250 to the jackpot.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03Laura and Jane didn't win the jackpot last time, so we add
0:03:03 > 0:03:06another £1,000 to that. So today's jackpot starts off at £2,000.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12Right, if everyone is ready, let's play Pointless.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19OK, just remember, the pair with the highest
0:03:19 > 0:03:22score at the end of each round will be eliminated.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24I'm sure I didn't need to remind you of that.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26But do remember, there is no conferring.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29Our first category today is...
0:03:32 > 0:03:33Awards.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Can you all decide in your pairs who is going to go first,
0:03:35 > 0:03:37who is going to go second?
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45OK, and the question concerns...
0:03:50 > 0:03:52BBC Sports Personality of the Year awards. Richard.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55In a moment, Xander is going to show you the names of five sports.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58We are looking for any winner of the individual BBC
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Sports Personality of the Year award from one of those five sports.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04From 1954 all the way through to the 2014 awards.
0:04:04 > 0:04:05Thank you very much indeed. OK.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07As Richard has just mentioned, we are
0:04:07 > 0:04:09going to put five sports up on the board.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Let's find out what those five sports are. Here they come.
0:04:22 > 0:04:26Remember, we are looking for anyone from any one of these five sports
0:04:26 > 0:04:30who has won the BBC Sports Personality of the Year.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32So, Lucille, welcome back to Pointless.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34It was Round One last time.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37I know. I got let down by the other half.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Oh, dear. Remind us what you do, Lucille.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43I'm an office manager for a printing company.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46What do you do when you are not doing that?
0:04:46 > 0:04:49I love travelling. I like dancing.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53And I like going to boot fairs and trying to find bargains.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55What kind of dancing do you do? Formal dancing?
0:04:55 > 0:04:58- No, I like modern dancing. - Modern dance.- All the modern things.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00That's good. Very good indeed.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Now, OK, let's get this over and done with
0:05:02 > 0:05:03because I think you will surprise yourself.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06You will have a great answer in there somewhere, I think.
0:05:06 > 0:05:07I have thought of two.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09I think I'm going to go safe this time
0:05:09 > 0:05:11and I'm going to go football - David Beckham -
0:05:11 > 0:05:13and just hope it's right.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15- David Beckham.- For football. - OK, Lucille says David Beckham.
0:05:15 > 0:05:16Let's see if that's right,
0:05:16 > 0:05:20and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said David Beckham.
0:05:22 > 0:05:23It's right.
0:05:27 > 0:05:2835.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30Well done. Great.
0:05:30 > 0:05:31That was fantastic.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Strikes me as a perfectly reasonable score, doesn't it?
0:05:34 > 0:05:36- Lucille, are you happy with that? - I am, yes.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Yeah, safe answer. 2001 he won that award.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42After he scored a last-minute free kick against Greece
0:05:42 > 0:05:44where England qualified for the 2002 World Cup.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48Thank you very much, Richard. Thank you. Now, OK, Pete.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52- Welcome back.- Thank you. - Uh, Riva.- I know.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54As soon as I said it, I knew it.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Just remind us, what do you do, Pete?
0:05:56 > 0:05:58I'm a print manager.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00We make printing plates for mainly packaging.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03But when you are not doing that, what...?
0:06:03 > 0:06:04- I love horse racing.- Yeah.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07I love going to race meetings, Cheltenham, Aintree,
0:06:07 > 0:06:09places like that.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13I quite enjoy cooking. And I love my football. I love all my sports.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16OK, so this is kind of a perfect round for you.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20As a Man City fan, it pains me to say it,
0:06:20 > 0:06:22but I'm going to say Ryan Giggs.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Ryan Giggs. Let's see if that's right
0:06:25 > 0:06:27and let's see how many of our 100 people said Ryan Giggs.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Good answer. 13.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45- 13 for Ryan Giggs. - Yeah, won in 2009, Pete.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48But quite surprisingly, I would say.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Thanks, Richard. Simon, welcome to Pointless.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54- Hello.- Great to have you... Shame you weren't here last time.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57- Cos it was brilliant.- I heard.
0:06:57 > 0:06:58What do you do, Simon?
0:06:58 > 0:07:01I'm a BMS engineer. Building services management.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Building services management, which is...what does that mean?
0:07:04 > 0:07:07It's like commissioning control systems for heating
0:07:07 > 0:07:10and ventilation and stuff like that. All the fun stuff, basically.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12What do you do when you are not doing that, Simon?
0:07:12 > 0:07:16I'm really into music. I've been drumming for about 15 years or so.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18And you are in a band at the moment?
0:07:18 > 0:07:21- Yeah, it's going all right. - What are you called?
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Untitled at the moment.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27Basically, the guy who is running it, that sounds bad but...
0:07:27 > 0:07:30- He hasn't thought of a name. - That's terrible.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33During this show, we will think of a name. Definitely.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Something will come up, won't it?
0:07:35 > 0:07:37- Yeah.- Something will. - Something Will Come Up!
0:07:37 > 0:07:40- For example.- Yeah.- See? That's a placeholder for now.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42- Let's see if we can come up with something better.- Hold that for now.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44OK, Simon. Simon.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46BBC Sports Personality of the Year.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50I don't know whether to take a punt with a boxing one or Formula One.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54- I'm going to go with Lennox Lewis. - Lennox Lewis, says Simon.
0:07:54 > 0:07:55Let's see if that's right,
0:07:55 > 0:07:58and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said Lennox Lewis.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04It's right. 35 is our highest score.
0:08:04 > 0:08:05I think you will probably pass that.
0:08:05 > 0:08:06And you do. 13 is our low.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08And you've passed that as well.
0:08:08 > 0:08:107. Well done, Simon.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14Off to a flying start there, well done. 7.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18Well played, Simon. Welcome to the show. Yeah, he won in 1999.
0:08:18 > 0:08:19Lennox Lewis.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22- Thanks very much indeed. Now, Marc.- Hello.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25- Marc, welcome back.- Thank you. - Head-to-head last time.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28Yes, Robbie Williams tripped us up.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31Yeah. Yeah, in every sense, he did. He did, he did, he did.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Marc, remind us what you do.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36I'm a CGI artist at a graphics studio.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39That's right. You make stuff up to go in catalogues.
0:08:39 > 0:08:44- Yeah, I make things look real as much as possible.- Mm.- Yeah.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Anyway, Marc, what are you going to go for on this board?
0:08:47 > 0:08:49I've got a few answers.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53I think I'm going to go with boxing and say Henry Cooper.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Henry Cooper, says Marc. Let's see if that's right.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Let's see how many of our 100 people said Henry Cooper.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02It's right.
0:09:02 > 0:09:047 is our low score.
0:09:04 > 0:09:0535 our high.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07You've passed the highest score.
0:09:07 > 0:09:0823 for Henry Cooper.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Not bad.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Not bad at all.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16He actually won it twice, Sir Henry Cooper. 1967 and 1970.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Thank you very much. We are halfway through the round.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Let's take a look at the scores as they stand.
0:09:21 > 0:09:227, the best score of the pass.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25Very well done indeed. Simon and Samantha right in there.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27In pole position, the newcomers.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Then up to 13, where we find Pete and Barry.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32Up to 23, where we find Marc and Bec.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Then 35, Lucille and Geoff.
0:09:34 > 0:09:35Out in front again.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37But Geoff, you are on hand.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Knock it out of the park when we come back to you.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43- Have you got some good answers?- Yes, Oh, yes.- Good. Good, good, good.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Very best of luck with that, Geoff.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47We are going to come back down the line now.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:09:53 > 0:09:55OK, so, Bec.
0:09:56 > 0:10:01- Welcome back.- Thank you.- Mother of one. Soon to be a mother of two.
0:10:01 > 0:10:02- That's right.- Very exciting.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05What is the thing you are most looking forward to
0:10:05 > 0:10:09when your children are a little bit older and don't need quite
0:10:09 > 0:10:11so much full-time care?
0:10:11 > 0:10:14I used to enjoy making my own clothes.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16I used to make a lot of my own clothes.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20And I just have no free time to do that cos it takes quite
0:10:20 > 0:10:22a lot of time up to do it.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24How do you do that? Do you work to model?
0:10:24 > 0:10:26I mean do you work from patterns?
0:10:26 > 0:10:29No, cos I've never been formally trained or anything,
0:10:29 > 0:10:35so I just kind of apply it to a model and wing it, basically.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38That's good. That's very good. Now, there you are. You are on 23.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41You have to score 11 or less to stay in the game.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43I've got quite a lot of names in my head,
0:10:43 > 0:10:47but whether they've actually won or not is another thing.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49I'm going to go for...
0:10:49 > 0:10:54- Cricket, and Ian Botham. - Ian Botham, says Bec. Ian Botham.
0:10:54 > 0:10:55Here is your red line.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57If you can get below that with Ian Botham,
0:10:57 > 0:10:59you are definitely in Round Two.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01Let's see how many people said Ian Botham.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06- It's right.- That's good.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11Not bad. Look at that. 24.
0:11:13 > 0:11:1447 is your total.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20Well played, Bec. Won in 1981, after his heroics at Headingley.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24- Thanks very much indeed, Richard. Now, Samantha.- Hi.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27- Welcome to Pointless.- Thank you. - What do you do, Samantha?
0:11:27 > 0:11:31I work in complaints management for a mental health organisation.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33- Working in complaints?- Yes.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36Do people...? What form do the complaints come in?
0:11:36 > 0:11:38It's usually written or by telephone,
0:11:38 > 0:11:40but I've been doing it for years.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43I worked in telecommunications complaints at home in Australia.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46- Right, OK.- I'm used to it. - You can deal with complaints.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50- Almost with your eyes closed.- Yes. - Very good. What do you do otherwise?
0:11:50 > 0:11:53Um, all the sort of normal stuff.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55I'm really into music, so I go to a lot of gigs.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58I work at a bar as well so a lot of drinking.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01- Drinking, music and complaining. - Pretty much.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04What a combination.
0:12:04 > 0:12:05Samantha, you are on 7.
0:12:05 > 0:12:0839 or less gets you into the next round.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12We are looking for anyone from any one of these five sports who
0:12:12 > 0:12:15has won BBC's Sports Personality of the Year.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18I've got one in my head and one, I don't know if it's right.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22And two, if it is right, I think it's going to be very high-scoring.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25But I'm going to go with Lewis Hamilton.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Lewis Hamilton. OK, here is your red line.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29If you get below that with Lewis Hamilton, then
0:12:29 > 0:12:30you are into the next round.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33Let's see if Lewis Hamilton is right, though,
0:12:33 > 0:12:34and how many people said it.
0:12:36 > 0:12:37It is right.
0:12:40 > 0:12:4253. Not bad.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Not bad at all. Takes your total
0:12:44 > 0:12:47up to 60.
0:12:47 > 0:12:51It is a lot better than 100. But, yeah, he won in 2014, Lewis Hamilton.
0:12:51 > 0:12:56Right, now, Barry, welcome back. Remind us what you do, Barry.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58I'm a designer, graphic designer.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02A designer. And you took on Pete when he was a slip of a thing.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04- He came in...- When he was 16.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06He came in aged 16! Has he changed?
0:13:06 > 0:13:08I know the answer to that - yes, he has.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10- No, he hasn't.- Really?
0:13:10 > 0:13:14- Same beard...- Same beard, yeah. Same sense of humour.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17Same sense of humour. How fantastic, you just hit it off immediately.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20- Yeah.- How long was he with you on his YTS thing?
0:13:20 > 0:13:22- About five years. - Five years.- About five years.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25And you set him on the course that he has continued on.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28- And he now occasionally employs you. This is just perfect.- Yeah.
0:13:28 > 0:13:29Absolutely perfect.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Barry, you have to score 46 or less.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34Nice, open goal, I would have thought.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37I've got a few. I'm torn between boxing and tennis.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41I think I'll go with the boxing.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Joe Calzaghe.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Joe Calzaghe, says Barry. Let's see if that's right.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Let's see how many of our 100 people said it. There is your red line.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51Get below that with Joe Calzaghe, and you are in Round Two.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00Yep, you've done it. Very well done!
0:14:01 > 0:14:03And how! Look at that, Barry.
0:14:04 > 0:14:071 for Joe Calzaghe, takes your total up to 14.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Great answer, Barry.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14Started very well on the last show as well, didn't you? A terrific answer.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16Won in 2007.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Thank you very much, Richard. Now, Geoff, right. Again,
0:14:19 > 0:14:22a bit of a sting in the tail of this round.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25What you have to score here is 24 or less.
0:14:25 > 0:14:26That's all we need to know.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30So, we discovered last time that ship...systems.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32- Yes.- Is that sort of computer systems, then?
0:14:32 > 0:14:34They are computer systems, yes. They go onboard.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38Just like a normal factory essentially, but for marine.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41And when you are not doing that, Geoff, what do you get up to?
0:14:41 > 0:14:44This is probably something Richard might do, I wonder.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48I sign write old railway goods wagons.
0:14:48 > 0:14:49Do you know, I don't.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52LAUGHTER
0:14:52 > 0:14:54- Oh, no. - I don't even know what that is.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57- You sign write old railway goods wagons.- Yes.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00What, you've just got a couple knocking about and you...?
0:15:00 > 0:15:04- No, on preserved railways.- How nice! - On the steam railways.- Yes!
0:15:04 > 0:15:06What sort of signs have you written?
0:15:06 > 0:15:08What's the most fun sign?
0:15:08 > 0:15:11- A banana van, a steam banana van. - Steam banana?
0:15:11 > 0:15:14- Yes. The steam goes into... - Sorry, there's a name.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17There is a name for the band. Steam Banana Van.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21- Right there. That's it, Simon. - That's it in there.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23OK, sorry, go on.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26The steam goes into the van to keep the van warm so the bananas
0:15:26 > 0:15:28have ripened when they get out the other end.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31You want to judge that well, though. That's for a short journey.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33I mean, if you are going all the way up to Inverness,
0:15:33 > 0:15:36- there might be a bit... - They might be cooked, yeah.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38Although cooked banana, also delicious.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41No, Geoff, there you are. 35. We have to score 24 or less.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43What are we going to go for?
0:15:43 > 0:15:46I'm really going to go for it here. I'm going to go Formula One.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48I'm going to go for Graham Hill.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Graham Hill, says Geoff. Graham Hill.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52There is your red line, Geoff.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54If you can get below that with Graham Hill,
0:15:54 > 0:15:57you are through to the next round. Let's hope it's right.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Let's see how many people said Graham Hill.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Oh, Geoff!
0:16:05 > 0:16:09- Oh, I thought he would be.- I thought he would have been as well.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12That was a great answer. Turns out it's terrible.
0:16:12 > 0:16:13LAUGHTER
0:16:13 > 0:16:17I'm so sorry. That scores you 100 points. Takes your total up to 135.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Oh, no, Geoff and Lucille.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22- I can't bear it. Richard. - So sorry, Geoff.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25The best he ever did was come second, I'm afraid. In 1968. David Hemery.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28Can I tell you someone who would have scored you 15 points
0:16:28 > 0:16:30- and seen you through? - His son did it, did he?
0:16:30 > 0:16:32- Damon Hill.- Yes. - Yeah, 15 points for Damon Hill.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34That's really, really unlucky.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37There is actually only two pointless answers on the whole board.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41Both cricketers. Let's take a look. One is Jim Laker.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43And even more obscure, great answer from 1975,
0:16:43 > 0:16:46David Steele was a pointless answer. Well done if you said David Steele.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49Other cricketers you could have had, Andrew Flintoff at 11.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52Ian Botham, you already heard. Only one boxer we're missing.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54That's Barry McGuigan. He would have scored you 7 points.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57Football, the players we are missing are Michael Owen - 3 points.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00Paul Gascoigne and Bobby Moore both 5 points.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02And Formula One.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04We are missing Stirling Moss and Jackie Stewart,
0:17:04 > 0:17:06both would have scored you 4 points.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Nigel Mansell would have scored you 18.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11And tennis. Ann Jones would have scored you 2 points.
0:17:11 > 0:17:12A terrific answer.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15Greg Rusedski won in 1997. He would have scored you 3 points.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19Virginia Wade, 13. And Andy Murray would have scored you 50 points.
0:17:19 > 0:17:20And that's all the answers.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25So, at the end of our first round, I'm afraid the pair heading
0:17:25 > 0:17:28home with their high score of 135, it's Geoff and Lucille.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31I'm so sorry. It's been lovely having you on the show.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33In each case it's just been...we just haven't
0:17:33 > 0:17:36- got beyond the hors d'oeuvres. - Never mind.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38What a shame, I'm sorry we couldn't serve up...
0:17:38 > 0:17:41- Again, I'm just on it today. - Yes, it's really good.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43..something tastier for you. It doesn't stop.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46But I'm afraid you have to go and get your coats now
0:17:46 > 0:17:48because we need the table for the next sitting.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51Thank you so much, Geoff and Lucille. Wonderful having
0:17:51 > 0:17:53you on the show. Great contestants.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56APPLAUSE
0:17:56 > 0:17:58But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06And so, we are now down to three pairs.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08At the end of this round, we will have to say goodbye
0:18:08 > 0:18:10to another player in time for our head-to-head round.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12Barry and Pete, very well done indeed.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15But remember, Round Two is where it all came unstuck last time.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18So keep your wits about you. Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20Our category for Round Two today is...
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Anniversaries. Can you all decide in your pairs
0:18:26 > 0:18:28who is going to go first, who is going to second?
0:18:28 > 0:18:31And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36And the question concerns...
0:18:40 > 0:18:422015 centenaries. Richard.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45On each board, we are going to show you six clues to people or
0:18:45 > 0:18:48things that are celebrating 100th anniversary in 2015.
0:18:48 > 0:18:49Can you name the most obscure?
0:18:49 > 0:18:5212 in all to have a go at at home. Best of luck.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56Thanks very much indeed. Let's look at our first board of centenaries.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58And here they are. We've got...
0:19:27 > 0:19:28I'll read those all one last time.
0:19:55 > 0:20:00There we are. Six centenaries celebrated at this year. Pete.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Um...
0:20:03 > 0:20:08I know a few. One of them, I think, is a bit obvious and will be high.
0:20:08 > 0:20:13I'm going to go with the American jazz musician and say Les Paul.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Les Paul, says Pete. Let's see if Les Paul is right.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Let's see how many people said it.
0:20:19 > 0:20:20It is right.
0:20:26 > 0:20:27That's a great answer. 9.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Very well done indeed, Pete.
0:20:29 > 0:20:319 for Les Paul.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33No Riva repeat this time round.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37Great answer, Peter. Very well played. He was born Lester Polsfuss.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40Les Paul fits much better on the fretboard, doesn't it?
0:20:40 > 0:20:42- It really does.- Yeah.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Thanks very much. Now, Simon.
0:20:44 > 0:20:45Yep.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47Simon, what are you going to go for?
0:20:47 > 0:20:51I'm going to go with, and this is a bit of a punt again -
0:20:51 > 0:20:57the birth of the singer who sang Something Stupid is Nancy Sinatra.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00Nancy Sinatra, says Simon. Let's see if that's right,
0:21:00 > 0:21:02and if it is, let's see how many of 100 people said it.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07Bad luck, Simon.
0:21:07 > 0:21:08I'm afraid it's an incorrect answer.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10- Scores you 100 points. Sorry.- Sorry, Simon.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12I hope she's not watching.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14I know, that's what I was going to say.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16She will be thinking, "Really, I look...?"
0:21:16 > 0:21:19- She's looking good on it. - Isn't she just?
0:21:19 > 0:21:21Born in 1940, Nancy Sinatra.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25Thank you very much indeed. Now, Bec.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28- Hi.- What are you going to go for? This board is all yours.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30You can talk us through it if you like.
0:21:30 > 0:21:31I'm so pleased(!)
0:21:31 > 0:21:34I think the second one is Frank Sinatra.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38The third one, as long as it is the most famous novel that he did
0:21:38 > 0:21:41with Richard Hannay, is The 39 Steps.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43Is that the one you are going to go for?
0:21:43 > 0:21:44That's the one I'm going to go for, yeah.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46The 39 Steps. Let's see if that's right
0:21:46 > 0:21:49and let's see how many people said The 39 Steps.
0:21:51 > 0:21:52It's absolutely right.
0:21:56 > 0:21:5734.
0:22:01 > 0:22:0234 for The 39 Steps.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04Well played, Bec.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07His 17th published work but the most famous, I would say.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09Now, let's fill in the rest of this, shall we?
0:22:09 > 0:22:11The title of the Sunday newspaper...
0:22:11 > 0:22:14- The Sunday Mirror. - It is the Sunday Mirror.
0:22:14 > 0:22:1714 points for that. You are absolutely right,
0:22:17 > 0:22:20it was Frank Sinatra rather than Nancy Sinatra.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22That would have scored you 32.
0:22:22 > 0:22:23There is a clue in this one.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26- The foundation of this army regiment with the leek.- Welsh Guards.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Welsh Guards, yes.
0:22:28 > 0:22:3224. And at the bottom, this is a pointless answer if you know it.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35- The Love Song of J Alfred Prufrock. - Is exactly what it is.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38Very, very well done if you said that at home. Pointless answer.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42Thank you very much indeed. OK, let's take a look at those scores.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44We are halfway through the round. 9. Well done, Pete.
0:22:44 > 0:22:45Great score there.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48Pete and Barry, I think, will be in the head-to-head at least.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Then up to 34. Well done, Bec and Marc.
0:22:50 > 0:22:54Then Simon and Samantha. So yes, Samantha, it's all in your hands.
0:22:54 > 0:22:55Who knows what could happen.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58But, yeah, a low score from you might just keep you in the game.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01Best of luck. We are going to come back down the line now.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:23:05 > 0:23:08OK, let's put six more clues up on the board. And here they come.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10We have got...
0:23:38 > 0:23:40I'll read those one last time.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Marc. 34 is your score at the moment.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11- 65 or less sees you in. - It's not great. I should know
0:24:11 > 0:24:13the birth of the American playwright who
0:24:13 > 0:24:15married Marilyn Monroe. But it's gone.
0:24:15 > 0:24:20So I'm going to have to guess at the Stoke City player.
0:24:20 > 0:24:21Sir Stanley Matthews.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23Stanley Matthews, says Marc. Let's see if that's right.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25Here is your red line.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28Get below this with Stanley Matthews and you are into the head-to-head.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said it.
0:24:33 > 0:24:37It's absolutely right. Very well done.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40There you go. 31 for Stanley Matthews.
0:24:40 > 0:24:4365 is your total.
0:24:45 > 0:24:46Well played, Marc.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49The only man to play in top-flight football over the age of 50.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51Sir Stanley Matthews.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Never booked and never sent off in his entire career.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56Mind you, you could virtually kill someone in those days
0:24:56 > 0:24:57without being booked.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02- Thanks very much, Richard. Samantha.- Yes.- Samantha.
0:25:02 > 0:25:07What we require from you is something between a miracle
0:25:07 > 0:25:09and a score of 8 or less.
0:25:11 > 0:25:15I really should know the first one but I don't.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18I'm just going to take a guess at the second one.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22I'm almost sure it's wrong. I'm going to say Tennessee Williams.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25Tennessee Williams, says Samantha. Tennessee Williams.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27No red line for you as you are the highest scorers.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29But let's see if it's right.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34I'm afraid...
0:25:34 > 0:25:36I'm afraid not Tennessee Williams, Samantha.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38That scores you 100 points. Take your total up to 200.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41- Excellent(!)- Sorry, Samantha. That is the way to go out.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43- It is the way to go out. - I guess so.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45I'm sure Tennessee Williams would have liked to have married
0:25:45 > 0:25:48- Marilyn Monroe, but he never did. - He never did.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Now, Barry.
0:25:51 > 0:25:52The board is yours.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55Do you want to talk us through it, fill in all the blanks?
0:25:55 > 0:25:58The naval campaign is Gallipoli.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01The American playwright is Arthur Miller.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03I'm not too sure on Charlie Chaplain,
0:26:03 > 0:26:06but I'd take a guess at The Gold Rush.
0:26:06 > 0:26:10The name of the Cunard ocean liner is the Lusitania.
0:26:10 > 0:26:16I'm not too sure on the National Park. I'll go for Gallipoli.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20Gallipoli, says Barry. No red line for you. You are already through.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23But let's see how many of our 100 people said Gallipoli.
0:26:25 > 0:26:26It's right.
0:26:31 > 0:26:32Very well done indeed.
0:26:32 > 0:26:3521 for Gallipoli takes your total up to a nice round 30.
0:26:38 > 0:26:39Well played, Barry.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42You picked the lowest scoring of the ones you knew as well.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Because you were right about Arthur Miller.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47He would have scored you 25 points.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50You are wrong about the Charlie Chaplain film.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52It's actually... Do you know this one, Xander?
0:26:52 > 0:26:55- There is a clue in... - Is it The Tramp?- The Tramp, yes.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58The Tramp would have scored 8.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01Lusitania would have scored you 34 points.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05And the bottom one is actually a pointless answer.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08It is the Rocky Mountain National Park.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11Very, very well done if you got that at home.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14Thank you very much indeed, Richard. At the end of our second round,
0:27:14 > 0:27:17the pair who are heading home with their high score of 200,
0:27:17 > 0:27:20our newest members of the 200 Club, Samantha and Simon.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22That was tough. That was really tough.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26It was. The worst part as well, as an Australian, I mean, Gallipoli.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28I knew it was the landing at Gallipoli,
0:27:28 > 0:27:29but I didn't know it was called that.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32I probably should have just taken a punt.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34Well, listen, we will see you again next time.
0:27:34 > 0:27:35You can take punts aplenty then.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38In the meantime, thanks very much for playing. Samantha and Simon.
0:27:38 > 0:27:39- Thank you.- Thanks a lot.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for the head-to-head.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52Congratulations, Barry and Pete, Bec and Marc.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55You are now one step closer to the final and a chance to
0:27:55 > 0:27:59play for our jackpot, which currently stands at £2,000.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02APPLAUSE
0:28:02 > 0:28:05So, to decide who is going to go through to the final and
0:28:05 > 0:28:08play for that jackpot, you are now going to go head-to-head.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10The difference is you are now allowed to confer
0:28:10 > 0:28:12before you give your answers.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14The first pair to win two questions will be
0:28:14 > 0:28:15playing for that jackpot.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:28:23 > 0:28:27OK, here comes your first question. And it concerns...
0:28:30 > 0:28:31Richard.
0:28:31 > 0:28:35I'm going to show you five pictures now of famous European landmarks.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38You just need to tell us which city these are in please.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40Excellent. What could be simpler?
0:28:40 > 0:28:43Let's reveal our five European buildings. Here they come.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45We've got...
0:29:14 > 0:29:17There we go. Five famous European buildings.
0:29:17 > 0:29:21Barry and Pete, you are to go first. When you have finished conferring.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24INDISTINCT SPEECH
0:29:24 > 0:29:27There's a few we know. Well, I think we know.
0:29:27 > 0:29:31But we are going to go with A - Barcelona.
0:29:31 > 0:29:32A - Barcelona.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34OK, Barry and Pete say Barcelona.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37Bec and Marc, talk us through that board.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40D is Rome.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43Not sure on B and E.
0:29:43 > 0:29:45And we don't think it's correct,
0:29:45 > 0:29:47but we are going to take a punt on C being Liverpool.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50C - Liverpool, say Bec and Marc. C - Liverpool
0:29:50 > 0:29:53So we have Barcelona, we have Liverpool.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55Barry and Pete say Barcelona.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58Let's see if that's right and let's see how many people said it.
0:30:00 > 0:30:01It's right.
0:30:06 > 0:30:0727.
0:30:11 > 0:30:1527. Now, Bec and Marc, going out on a bit of a limb here.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18Saying that C is Liverpool.
0:30:19 > 0:30:21Only one way to find out. Is it?
0:30:24 > 0:30:25It is Liverpool!
0:30:26 > 0:30:28It absolutely is Liverpool.
0:30:28 > 0:30:29Will it beat Barcelona?
0:30:29 > 0:30:31Yes, it will!
0:30:32 > 0:30:33It's pointless!
0:30:35 > 0:30:37Very, very well done.
0:30:37 > 0:30:41That's a gutsy move. There is your reward, a pointless answer.
0:30:41 > 0:30:45It adds £250 to today's jackpot. Takes the total up to £2,250.
0:30:45 > 0:30:49Scores you nothing. Wins you the point. Congratulations.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51That's a brilliant answer.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53Very well played. Who spotted that?
0:30:53 > 0:30:55- Marc.- I did.- Marc, do you know what the building is?
0:30:55 > 0:30:57Is it the Victoria and Albert?
0:30:57 > 0:30:59It's the Walker Art Gallery.
0:30:59 > 0:31:00I tell you what,
0:31:00 > 0:31:03Barcelona 27 - Liverpool 0 has a ring to it as well.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06LAUGHTER
0:31:06 > 0:31:07B. Do you know B?
0:31:07 > 0:31:10- Edinburgh.- Edinburgh, of course. It's Edinburgh Castle.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12- It's gorgeous, isn't it?- Mm.- 43.
0:31:12 > 0:31:13It is the less familiar...
0:31:13 > 0:31:16- That's sort of the Grassmarket view, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18The less familiar aspect.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20D.
0:31:20 > 0:31:21- Rome.- Is Rome.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23The Coliseum.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25It would have scored 48.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28And the last one, that's the Opera House in Copenhagen.
0:31:28 > 0:31:31It would have scored you 3 points. Well done if you said that.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34Very much the best answer on that board, Liverpool.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37Absolutely. Here comes your second question.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39Now, Barry and Pete, you don't get to answer it first,
0:31:39 > 0:31:42but you have to win this point to stay in the game.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44Our second question concerns...
0:31:51 > 0:31:53- Richard.- We are going to show you the names of five acts now who
0:31:53 > 0:31:56had at least one number one single in the 1990s.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58But we are only giving you the initials
0:31:58 > 0:32:00and the year they had their first number one.
0:32:00 > 0:32:01Can you tell us the most obscure?
0:32:01 > 0:32:05OK, let's reveal our initials. And here they come.
0:32:17 > 0:32:18I'll read those one last time.
0:32:28 > 0:32:32Bec and Marc, feel free to confer, but you will go first.
0:32:33 > 0:32:37- SOFTLY:- I can only get Take That and the Spice Girls...
0:32:37 > 0:32:39Right Said Fred. Of course, yeah.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42I think that's going to be quite low anyway. Let's for that.
0:32:42 > 0:32:46We are going to go for the top one. We think Right Said Fred.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49It may be the lowest of what we know.
0:32:49 > 0:32:51OK, Right Said Fred, say Bec and Marc.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54Now then, Barry and Pete.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56Talk us through the rest of that board if you can.
0:32:56 > 0:33:00We think the second one is possibly Take That.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03From there on down, we are struggling, I think.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05- Do you know any, Baz?- No.
0:33:05 > 0:33:08No, we don't know any of the others. We are just going to have to say...
0:33:08 > 0:33:10We are probably going to lose, but we have to say Take That.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13OK, Take That. We have Right Said Fred versus Take That.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15Bec and Marc went for Right Said Fred.
0:33:15 > 0:33:16Let's see if that's right.
0:33:16 > 0:33:18Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:33:27 > 0:33:2914.
0:33:33 > 0:33:3714 for Right Said Fred. Barry and Pete have gone for Take That.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39Let's see how many of our 100 people said Take That.
0:33:43 > 0:33:44It's right.
0:33:48 > 0:33:4934.
0:33:49 > 0:33:53Which means, Bec and Marc, after only two questions,
0:33:53 > 0:33:56you are through to the final 2-0. Very well done indeed.
0:33:56 > 0:33:57Well played, Bec and Marc.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00Deeply Dippy was Right Said Fred's first number one single.
0:34:00 > 0:34:04I'm Too Sexy was never number one. It was number two for six weeks.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07- Kept off number one by Bryan Adams. - Ah.
0:34:07 > 0:34:08AOB.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13- Ace Of Base.- Ah, there we go.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15It would have scored 13.
0:34:15 > 0:34:20- SG.- I was thinking of Sonic Garden. No, Spice Girls.- There we go.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23Tough on the initials, though, isn't it? 25.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26This one I was puzzling over for ages. They had one number one single.
0:34:26 > 0:34:29It was with a song called Breakfast At Tiffany's.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31- Ah! Deep Blue Something. - Deep Blue Something.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34That would have scored 2 points. Best answer on the board.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36Very well done if you said that at home.
0:34:36 > 0:34:37Thank you very much indeed.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40The pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:34:40 > 0:34:42slightly against the grain of play, Barry and Peter.
0:34:42 > 0:34:46Playing so well for the rest of the show, then I'm afraid you
0:34:46 > 0:34:49came up against Bec and Marc, who are just on fire today.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51Barry and Pete, we have to say goodbye to you.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53It's been wonderful having you on both shows.
0:34:53 > 0:34:56Thank you so much for playing. Barry and Pete, great contestants.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59APPLAUSE
0:34:59 > 0:35:01But for Bec and Marc, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08Congratulations, Bec and Marc, you have fought off all the competition
0:35:08 > 0:35:10and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:19 > 0:35:23At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £2,250.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30And best of all, that little £250 on the end was yours!
0:35:30 > 0:35:31You did that.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34It's the first pointless answer we've had for a little while.
0:35:34 > 0:35:36What would you like to see round this off?
0:35:36 > 0:35:39What would be your best category up here?
0:35:39 > 0:35:42I'd like to say music and sport, but then I don't want them to come
0:35:42 > 0:35:45up and me...fail, fail miserably.
0:35:45 > 0:35:47Yeah.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50Yeah, literature is quite good for me.
0:35:50 > 0:35:54But again, recent literature probably not so.
0:35:54 > 0:35:56Or history. History is not so bad.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59All right. As always, you get to choose your category from the four
0:35:59 > 0:36:01we put up on the board. Let's see what we've got today.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10BEC GIGGLES
0:36:10 > 0:36:14Scottish Music could be quite... Scottish Music might be all right.
0:36:14 > 0:36:16- Yeah.- Yeah? Do you want to go for that?
0:36:16 > 0:36:17Yeah, let's go for that.
0:36:17 > 0:36:18We are going to go for Scottish Music.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20Scottish Music it is. Richard.
0:36:20 > 0:36:21OK, very best of luck.
0:36:21 > 0:36:25We are looking for any UK top 40 single released up to the
0:36:25 > 0:36:29beginning of May 2015 by any of the following artists.
0:36:29 > 0:36:31Any UK top 40 single by...
0:36:34 > 0:36:35That's as a solo artist.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39Any UK top 40 single by...
0:36:40 > 0:36:41Or any UK top 40 single by...
0:36:43 > 0:36:45Very, very best of luck.
0:36:45 > 0:36:46OK, as always,
0:36:46 > 0:36:49you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52All you have to do to win that jackpot is to come up with
0:36:52 > 0:36:55one pointless answer among those three.
0:36:55 > 0:36:56Are you ready?
0:36:56 > 0:36:59- I think so.- Yes.- OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01There they are.
0:37:01 > 0:37:02Your time starts now.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05- OK, this is more you than me.- OK.
0:37:05 > 0:37:09- Annie Lennox, Walking On Broken Glass.- Was that on her own?
0:37:09 > 0:37:14Yes. Was she on one of the charity singles for Comic Relief?
0:37:14 > 0:37:16Perfect Day?
0:37:16 > 0:37:19- I think she... Was she?- Yes. - Yes, I think she was, wasn't she?
0:37:19 > 0:37:24- Paolo Nutini, you've got New Shoes. - That'll be quite high.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27I think he's got a new one called Scream. I think.
0:37:27 > 0:37:31- That sounds quite good.- Simple minds. I should know Simple Minds.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34My mind has gone blank on Simple Minds.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36What other Annie Lennox?
0:37:36 > 0:37:40Little Bird. Little Bird, I think she did.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42She brought one out only recently, didn't she?
0:37:42 > 0:37:45Can you remember what that was?
0:37:45 > 0:37:48- Whether it's a top 40 single or not, I'm not sure.- That's true.
0:37:48 > 0:37:51- So... - Her older ones are probably better.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54- Ten seconds left. - Scream by Paolo Nutini.
0:37:55 > 0:37:59Do you want to go Perfect Day? Whether that counts.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01- And Little Bird.- Little Bird.- Yeah?
0:38:01 > 0:38:04- That's it.- That's your time up. I now need your three answers.
0:38:04 > 0:38:06What are you going to go for?
0:38:06 > 0:38:08We are going to have two for Annie Lennox.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10- We are going for Little Bird. - Little Bird.
0:38:10 > 0:38:12- And Perfect Day.- Perfect Day.
0:38:12 > 0:38:15And then Paolo Nutini, we are going to go for Scream.
0:38:15 > 0:38:19Scream. OK, of those three, which do you think is your best shot?
0:38:19 > 0:38:23- Probably Perfect Day, if it's correct.- If it's correct.
0:38:23 > 0:38:24OK, Perfect Day we will put last.
0:38:24 > 0:38:26Least likely to be pointless?
0:38:26 > 0:38:29Paolo Nutini cos I'm not sure if that's correct.
0:38:29 > 0:38:30OK, so Scream we'll put first.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33Let's pop those up on the board in that order then.
0:38:33 > 0:38:34And here they are.
0:38:34 > 0:38:38We've got Scream - Funk My Life Up,
0:38:38 > 0:38:41Little Bird and Perfect Day.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44Very, very best of luck. Your first answer was Scream.
0:38:44 > 0:38:48Now, what if one of these answers is right and wins you that jackpot?
0:38:48 > 0:38:522,250 quid. Very nice sum of money to be taking home with you.
0:38:52 > 0:38:54What would you do with it, Bec?
0:38:54 > 0:38:59Um, probably a portion of it would go on this little person.
0:38:59 > 0:39:03- We still need quite a few bits and pieces for them.- Yeah.
0:39:03 > 0:39:05And we need an extension doing, so...
0:39:05 > 0:39:09- Probably go towards that too. - Marc, how about you?
0:39:09 > 0:39:13My partner also puts any money aside for house renovations.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16But there is a few choice vinyls that
0:39:16 > 0:39:18I would like to add to my collection.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21Might not be much money for an extension after all of that.
0:39:21 > 0:39:24OK, there we are. Perfect. Very best of luck, as I say.
0:39:24 > 0:39:25Your first answer was Scream.
0:39:25 > 0:39:29We were looking for Paolo Nutini top 40 singles in this case.
0:39:29 > 0:39:33If this is pointless, it will win you that jackpot. £2,250.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36Let's see how many of our 100 people said Scream.
0:39:40 > 0:39:41It's right.
0:39:43 > 0:39:45Down it goes through the forties.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48If it goes down to 0, you leave here with £2,250.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50Down it goes. Scream.
0:39:50 > 0:39:51Down it goes!
0:39:51 > 0:39:54- 2! - GROANING
0:39:54 > 0:39:562.
0:39:56 > 0:39:58That is a great answer.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01And to think you put that as your first one.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03The one you were least confident in.
0:40:03 > 0:40:05A great start to this round.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08Only two more chances to win today's jackpot. £2,250.
0:40:08 > 0:40:11Your next answer was Little Bird.
0:40:11 > 0:40:13In this case, we were looking for Annie Lennox singles.
0:40:13 > 0:40:14Let's see if that's right.
0:40:14 > 0:40:17Let's see how many of our 100 people said Little Bird.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22Your first answer, Scream,
0:40:22 > 0:40:24took us all the way down to 2.
0:40:24 > 0:40:26Your second answer, Little Bird,
0:40:26 > 0:40:28taking us down through the 30s and the 20s.
0:40:28 > 0:40:30If this goes all the way down to 0,
0:40:30 > 0:40:32you leave with £2,250.
0:40:32 > 0:40:337.
0:40:33 > 0:40:357.
0:40:35 > 0:40:38SPEECH DROWNED OUT BY APPLAUSE
0:40:38 > 0:40:41These are single figure answers, though. This is great.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44This is all good stuff.
0:40:44 > 0:40:48Everything is now riding, though, on your third and final answer.
0:40:48 > 0:40:50Which was Perfect Day.
0:40:50 > 0:40:52In this case, Annie Lennox.
0:40:52 > 0:40:53OK, it has to be right
0:40:53 > 0:40:55and it has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot.
0:40:55 > 0:40:59For £2,250, let's see how many people said Perfect Day.
0:41:02 > 0:41:04Oh, no!
0:41:04 > 0:41:06- Bad luck. - APPLAUSE
0:41:06 > 0:41:08Bad luck.
0:41:08 > 0:41:13A valiant attempt, though. Three nice-sounding answers.
0:41:13 > 0:41:15Two of them really good answers.
0:41:15 > 0:41:18You know, you were taking a bit of a gamble, though.
0:41:18 > 0:41:21- You knew you were going on slightly thin ice there.- Yes.
0:41:21 > 0:41:24But unfortunately, you didn't manage to find that all important
0:41:24 > 0:41:27pointless answer, which means you don't win today's jackpot of £2,250.
0:41:27 > 0:41:29That rolls over on to the next show.
0:41:29 > 0:41:31But it's been great having you on the show.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33And what a brilliant turnaround in the last two rounds.
0:41:33 > 0:41:35Really, really impressive.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37Particularly that pointless answer.
0:41:37 > 0:41:39And you both get take home a Pointless trophy.
0:41:39 > 0:41:42- That's the main thing. - Very, very well done. Richard.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45Unlucky, Bec and Marc. Very, very well played throughout.
0:41:45 > 0:41:47Let's clear up that Perfect Day thing.
0:41:47 > 0:41:49I'm afraid she wasn't credited on that single.
0:41:49 > 0:41:52The reason she wasn't credited was she wasn't on it.
0:41:52 > 0:41:54LAUGHTER
0:41:54 > 0:41:56- Which I hope makes it a little easier.- Yes.
0:41:56 > 0:41:58Let's take a look at some of the pointless answers.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00To start with, Annie Lennox.
0:42:00 > 0:42:02Cold was a pointless answer. Love Song For A Vampire.
0:42:02 > 0:42:06Precious. Put A Little Love In Your Heart, which is a duet with Al Green.
0:42:06 > 0:42:07And Waiting In Vain.
0:42:07 > 0:42:09They were all the pointless answers for Annie Lennox.
0:42:11 > 0:42:13Paolo Nutini. Only two pointless answers here.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16Better Man, which is a great song, was a pointless answer. And Rewind.
0:42:16 > 0:42:19And Simple Minds. Lots of pointless answers here.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22If you know your Simple Minds, you'd definitely have won the money.
0:42:22 > 0:42:23Kick It In. Let There Be Love.
0:42:23 > 0:42:26Sanctify Yourself was a pointless answer. She's A River.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28In fact, every single top 40 single by Simple Minds
0:42:28 > 0:42:31apart from Don't You Forget About Me - 18,
0:42:31 > 0:42:32Alive And Kicking - 11,
0:42:32 > 0:42:33Belfast Child - 9,
0:42:33 > 0:42:35Promised You A Miracle - 6,
0:42:35 > 0:42:36and Waterfront - 4,
0:42:36 > 0:42:39every single other Simple Minds single was a pointless answer.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42Very well done if you got any of those pointless answers at home.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44Thanks very much. Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye
0:42:44 > 0:42:47to you, Bec and Marc, but it has been great having you on the show.
0:42:47 > 0:42:50Thank you so much for playing. Wonderful contestants. Bec and Marc.
0:42:50 > 0:42:53APPLAUSE
0:42:53 > 0:42:56Well, sadly, Bec and Marc didn't win our jackpot today, which means
0:42:56 > 0:43:01it rolls over on to the next show, when we will be playing for £3,250.
0:43:04 > 0:43:06Join us then to see if someone can win it.
0:43:06 > 0:43:08- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:08 > 0:43:10And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
