0:00:14 > 0:00:18APPLAUSE
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Thank you. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong.
0:00:24 > 0:00:26Welcome to Pointless, the show where the aim
0:00:26 > 0:00:28is to score as few points as you can
0:00:28 > 0:00:31by coming up with the answers that no-one else can think of.
0:00:31 > 0:00:32Let's meet today's players.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35APPLAUSE
0:00:35 > 0:00:38And couple number one.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40Hi, my name's Jayne. I'm from Whitfield in Kent
0:00:40 > 0:00:44and I'm here with my sister Sharon who is from Sheldon in Birmingham.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46- Couple number two. - Hello, my name's Sandra.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49This is my friend and colleague Mark and we're both from London.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51- Couple number three. - Hi, I'm Bethan and this is Andrea
0:00:51 > 0:00:54and we're friends and colleagues from South Wales.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56Finally, couple number four.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Hi, I'm John from Leeds and this is my daughter Eleanor from Manchester.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01These are today's contestants.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04APPLAUSE
0:01:04 > 0:01:05Thanks very much.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07We will find out more about you throughout the show
0:01:07 > 0:01:11as it goes along. That just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13He recently got a call about doing Strictly.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15They need a body double for the Blackpool Tower.
0:01:15 > 0:01:20- It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.- Hiya. Afternoon, everybody.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22APPLAUSE
0:01:22 > 0:01:25- Good afternoon.- Good afternoon.- How are you?- I'm very well, thank you.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Excellent. Two returning pairs from last time.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30We've got Andrea and Bethan, who were in our head-to-head
0:01:30 > 0:01:33against Klif and Jenni.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Klif and Jenni went through to the final
0:01:35 > 0:01:38and they got heavy-metal music - Metallica, Aerosmith -
0:01:38 > 0:01:39suited them down to the ground.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42The first two things out of Klif's mouth in the 60 seconds
0:01:42 > 0:01:45were pointless answers. Incredible stuff.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47And then at the end of the 60 seconds,
0:01:47 > 0:01:49they neglected to say either of them
0:01:49 > 0:01:50and gave us three answers that scored,
0:01:50 > 0:01:52so they missed out on the jackpot.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55Really knew their stuff, so it was tough luck for Klif and Jenni,
0:01:55 > 0:01:59- but very good news for everybody who's here now.- Yes, indeed.
0:01:59 > 0:02:00Thanks very much, Richard.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02So, Klif and Jenni didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:02:02 > 0:02:04so we add another £1,000 to that,
0:02:04 > 0:02:09so today's jackpot starts off, if you please, at £4,000. There is it.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11APPLAUSE
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Right, let's play Pointless.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:02:18 > 0:02:22All you have to remember is that the pair with the highest score
0:02:22 > 0:02:25at the end of each round will be eliminated.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28Our first category today is...
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Cinema. Can you decide in your pairs
0:02:33 > 0:02:35who's going first, who's going second.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Whoever's going first, step up to the podium.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43And the question concerns...
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Richard.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51On each board, we'll show you seven clues to films
0:02:51 > 0:02:54that include the word "Night" or "Nights" or "Day" or "Days".
0:02:54 > 0:02:56You need to name the most obscure of them.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00- 14 in all to have a go at home. Best of luck.- Thanks very much indeed.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02So, we are looking for the names of these films
0:03:02 > 0:03:05and they all feature the words "Day" or "Night".
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Let's look at our first board of seven.
0:03:47 > 0:03:48I'll read those one last time.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27- Jayne, warm welcome to Pointless. - Thank you.- What do you do, Jayne?
0:04:27 > 0:04:31I work on a dialysis unit at the local hospital in Kent
0:04:31 > 0:04:33as an associate practitioner.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Very good. And what are your hobbies outside work?
0:04:36 > 0:04:40I enjoy going out on my mountain bike, I enjoy walking.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42I've done a few charity rides.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44What's the furthest you've done on your mountain bike?
0:04:44 > 0:04:47- About 120 miles in two days.- Ooh!
0:04:47 > 0:04:50Stopping off at the different renal units in Kent.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53- That's quite punishing, isn't it? - It was cos some of it was off-road
0:04:53 > 0:04:56- and quite hilly along the North Downs and stuff.- Beautiful.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59- Now, Jayne.- Yes. - Dive in. It's all yours.
0:04:59 > 0:05:05OK, I will be diving in but probably not with anything pointless.
0:05:05 > 0:05:09I'm going to go for "John Travolta stars in this dance-related film"
0:05:09 > 0:05:13- and say Saturday Night Fever. - Saturday Night Fever, says Jayne.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17Let's see how many of our 100 people said Saturday Night Fever.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20It is right.
0:05:21 > 0:05:2356.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Not bad, Jayne, not bad. APPLAUSE
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Bear in mind you might have taken an answer off the board
0:05:29 > 0:05:32that someone else knew, so that's tactically clever.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Big hit film, also one of the biggest-selling soundtracks
0:05:35 > 0:05:37of all time, Saturday Night Fever.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40Thank you, Rich. Now, Mark, welcome. Welcome back, I should say.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43- Hello, again. - Mark, remind us what you do.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47I work at the Royal Academy of Dance in the examinations department.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50How many people who work at the Royal Academy of Dance aren't dancers?
0:05:50 > 0:05:54In our office, it's probably just me.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57- That is a tough Christmas party, isn't it?- Isn't it?
0:05:57 > 0:06:00The hokey cokey round there must be beautiful!
0:06:00 > 0:06:03When you're not doing that, what do you get up to?
0:06:03 > 0:06:05- I go to the cinema a lot, actually. - This is good.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08- This is a good round for me, yes. - This is good. So, there you are.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12- There's a board.- The only one I don't know is probably the lowest,
0:06:12 > 0:06:14so I'm torn between two others.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18I will go with the oldest one on the list at the bottom.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22- It Happened One Night. - It Happened One Night, says Mark.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Let's see if it's right and how many of our 100 said it.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30Well done. Our only score at this point is 56 and you pass it.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Down it goes...
0:06:33 > 0:06:35A great answer, Mark! Look at that!
0:06:35 > 0:06:40APPLAUSE It Happened One Night scoring you 3.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43- That's someone who really does know and love cinema.- Absolutely.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46It's a very impressive answer. And it's got the word "Night" in it.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49You see at the end? Right at the end of it there?
0:06:49 > 0:06:53- Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Andrea, welcome back.- Thank you.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56- Now, you two were in the head-to-head last time.- Yeah, it was good.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59We were quite surprised we got that far, to be honest.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Yu weren't that far from going through to the final, actually.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Remind us what you do.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06I am a statistician at the Office for National Statistics.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08- Is that quite fun?- It is, yeah.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11We do a lot of the statistics you see in the news every day.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13- We do the census. - The ONS - we see it all the time.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16But do you ever get any statistics that surprise you?
0:07:16 > 0:07:20Probably our most exciting release is the baby names one.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22That gets a lot of publicity.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24People love that, to see what people are naming,
0:07:24 > 0:07:27- like weird names they're naming their children.- Wonderful.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30- OK, now, Andrea.- Yes. - What are you going to go for?
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Unfortunately, this isn't a good round for me.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35I'm not very good on films, but I know Bethan is,
0:07:35 > 0:07:38so I'm hoping that she can save me in the next one,
0:07:38 > 0:07:40so I'm going to go for probably the most obvious one there
0:07:40 > 0:07:43and go for the third one down and say Night At The Museum.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Night At The Museum says Andrea.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Let's see if it's right and how many of our 100 people said it.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52It's right.
0:07:54 > 0:07:5546.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58It's not the worst score of the round, by any means.
0:07:58 > 0:08:0046, Night At The Museum.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02They're very good, the Night At The Museum movies.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06There's three of them, each of them good. Even the third one is good.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10- It's very good.- That's quite an achievement, isn't it?- It is.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12So, then, John.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15A warm welcome to Pointless. Good to have you here.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18- Now, you said you were from Leeds. - Yes.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20- But you don't sound like you're from Leeds.- No, I don't.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23I'm originally from Motherwell, just outside Glasgow.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27What do you do in Leeds, John? I'm a parcel handler for the Royal Mail.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30Which bit of the parcel handling are you involved in?
0:08:30 > 0:08:32They come in on lorries, I unload the lorries,
0:08:32 > 0:08:36move them to other places in the warehouse then load other lorries.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39- That's as complicated as it gets. - That is how it works.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41And what else do you get up to, John?
0:08:41 > 0:08:45I play some golf quite badly, but I also like going to the cinema a lot.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Good.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51That tees us up very nicely for you to fill in all those missing bits.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55OK, the second one down is The Remains Of The Day.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59Edward Fox is the assassin in Day Of The Jackal.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02I also can't remember the name of the Joaquin Phoenix film,
0:09:02 > 0:09:04but the one at the top is the one I'll go for
0:09:04 > 0:09:06and that is Dog Day Afternoon, I hope.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Dog Day Afternoon, says John. Let's see if that's right
0:09:09 > 0:09:12and how many of our 100 people said Dog Day Afternoon.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17It is right. 56 is our highest score.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20You've passed it. Our low score is 3.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23How close to that will you get? 8. Not bad at all, John.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Dog Day Afternoon. Very respectable score of 8.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30Good answer, John. So, John and Mark really know their films.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33They know all of them apart from that Joaquin Phoenix one.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37Let's go through the answers. You're right about Remains Of The Day.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39That would have scored 13 points.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42You're right about Day Of The Jackal as well.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44That scores 20.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47This Joaquin Phoenix one, it won't surprise you to know
0:09:47 > 0:09:50is a pointless answer and it is We Own The Night.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53A pointless answer. Very well done if you got that at home.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Just beat two big film fans there.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57We're halfway through the round.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Let's look at those scores. 3, the best score of that round -
0:10:00 > 0:10:02so far, I should say. Mark, well done,
0:10:02 > 0:10:05putting you and Sandra very strongly ahead.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08John and Eleanor, not far behind you.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11Then up to 46, where we find Andrea and Bethan.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Well, Bethan, we've heard about your film knowledge.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Looking forward to that in the next pass.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Let's hope we get a low score from you and a low score from you, Sharon.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22There you are, the high-scorers on 56.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:10:27 > 0:10:31Let's put seven more Night And Day film clues up on the board
0:10:31 > 0:10:34and here they are. We've got...
0:11:05 > 0:11:06I'll read those one last time.
0:11:32 > 0:11:37- There we are. Eleanor, now then, you're here from Wigan.- Yes.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40- And what do you do in Wigan? - I work in Manchester at the moment.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43I'm currently a recruitment consultant
0:11:43 > 0:11:46but I'm training to be a fully-fledged zoologist.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49What stage are you in your training?
0:11:49 > 0:11:51I'm trying to beef up my CV at the moment
0:11:51 > 0:11:54so I do a lot of data manipulation for my professors.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57OK, right, do you share your father's love
0:11:57 > 0:12:00- of cinema?- I do. Not in quite such great depth,
0:12:00 > 0:12:05- but I do. - OK, what are you going to go for?
0:12:05 > 0:12:08I'm going to go with the Josh Hartnett film
0:12:08 > 0:12:12- and say 30 Days Of Night. - 30 Days Of Night.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14OK, let's see if that's right.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17Let's see how many of our 100 people said 30 Days Of Night.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20There's your red line. Get below that, you're in Round Two.
0:12:24 > 0:12:25It's right.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29It gets you into Round Two.
0:12:29 > 0:12:30It's a good answer.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Look at that! 3!
0:12:32 > 0:12:35You beat your dad! Look at that! 11 is your total.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Terrific answer.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41That's... That's got "Day" and "Night" in it.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43- It's got "Day" and "Night. - Look at that.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45Which, unfortunately, means it's worth 6 points. I'm sorry.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49- LAUGHTER - "Day" and "Night", how about that?
0:12:49 > 0:12:52- Bethan.- Yes.- Bethan, welcome back.
0:12:52 > 0:12:58- Now, ah, it's a film round.- Yes. - Bethan loves film.- So I've been told.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02- Bethan, do you work with Andrea at the ONS?- I do.
0:13:02 > 0:13:03We sit on opposite desks.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06Wonderful. Now then, Bethan.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10You're on 46. The high-scorers are Sharon and Jayne on 56.
0:13:10 > 0:13:139 or less, at this juncture, gets you into the next round.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18I think the 1968 one, if I've got it right, is going to be the lowest,
0:13:18 > 0:13:21but I don't want to take a huge guess, so I'm going to go
0:13:21 > 0:13:24for Matthew Broderick as Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Bethan's saying Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30Let's see if it's right. Here's your red line. It's quite low.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33Let's hope you get a long way towards that or even past it
0:13:33 > 0:13:35with Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39It's right.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Not bad at all. Look at that 21. Well done.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48APPLAUSE 67 is your total.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Some very good scoring in this round.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52One of the iconic films of the '80s. Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54They made a TV series of it as well.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57Jennifer Aniston played Ferris Bueller's sister.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01- I didn't know that.- Mmm.- There we are. Thank you very much, Richard.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05Now then, Sandra, remind us what you do.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08I am an exams officer at the Royal Academy of Dance.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11- I work alongside Mark. - And when not doing that, Sandra,
0:14:11 > 0:14:13what keeps you busy and happy?
0:14:13 > 0:14:15I quite like to do a lot of things.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19I like to go to the theatre, go to some museums
0:14:19 > 0:14:22and I also run marathons as well.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24- How many marathons have you run? - I've run two so far
0:14:24 > 0:14:28and I've just found out that I've got into the Chicago marathon.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30So that will be your next one?
0:14:30 > 0:14:31That will be my next one.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34- How soon do you start training for that?- Quite soon.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38I'll need to start in maybe the next month or two.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41Wow, good luck with that. You are on 3, by the way.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44The high-scorers, on 67 at this point, are Andrea and Bethan,
0:14:44 > 0:14:49- so 63 or less gets you into the next round.- Right.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52I know a couple on the board.
0:14:52 > 0:14:57I really do like Bond films and I grew up watching Bond films.
0:14:57 > 0:15:02The name of that one is escaping me right now. It's really frustrating.
0:15:02 > 0:15:07But I think I'm going to go with the bottom one
0:15:07 > 0:15:09which is Around The World In 80 Days.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12Around The World In 80 Days, says Sandra. Here's your red line.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15If you can get below that, you are through to Round Two.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18Let's see how many people said Around The World In 80 Days.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25Well done.
0:15:26 > 0:15:2740.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30That takes your total up to 43. APPLAUSE
0:15:30 > 0:15:32More good answering
0:15:32 > 0:15:35and now it all comes down to Sharon on that first podium.
0:15:35 > 0:15:40- A lot of pressure.- A lot of pressure there, Sharon. Welcome to Pointless.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42I'm sorry that this is your first introduction,
0:15:42 > 0:15:44to be thrown in at the deep end like this,
0:15:44 > 0:15:47but yes, a little bit of pressure on you here.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49- Yes.- Before we get down to that,
0:15:49 > 0:15:51what do you do up in Birmingham?
0:15:51 > 0:15:55Yes, I'm a duty manager at shelter departments for the elderly.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59Very good indeed. And what do you do when you're not doing that, Sharon?
0:15:59 > 0:16:04I'm a member of my local gym - not that I go mad there, I must admit.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07Do you go there and just stay sane or...?
0:16:07 > 0:16:10Yeah, I watch the telly, to be quite honest.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13I don't break into too much of a sweat.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15A lot of people say they watch Pointless in the gym.
0:16:15 > 0:16:1945 minutes is quite a nice little time on the treadmill.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22Ah, there we are. Hello, if you're watching us in the gym.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Come on, put the speed up,
0:16:24 > 0:16:27just for a minute, then you can go back down again.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Right, Sharon, that board is all yours.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34- Do you fancy talking us through it? - Oh, I'd love to be able to.
0:16:34 > 0:16:39Again, the Halle Berry one, that escapes me. I've gone a blank.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42And the third one, the Duane Jones one, no.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45The top two... Oh, gosh, Jayne, sorry,
0:16:45 > 0:16:48cos I think they're both going to be high-scorers
0:16:48 > 0:16:53and I shall go for Bill Murray as the weatherman
0:16:53 > 0:16:55- and say Groundhog Day. - Groundhog Day.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58You want to be scoring 10 or less with Groundhog Day, I'm afraid.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01Who knows? You may. There is your red line.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03If you get below that, you are into Round Two.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06Let's see how many of our 100 people said Groundhog Day.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15Oh, Sharon, I'm sorry. 73, a big high score
0:17:15 > 0:17:18for Groundhog Day, taking your total up to 129.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22That means, ironically, you'll be coming back on the next show
0:17:22 > 0:17:24- to do exactly the same thing. - LAUGHTER
0:17:24 > 0:17:28It's a higher scorer than the second one down which is Independence Day.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31Independence Day still would have scored 41.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34The zombie-filled horror film that Bethan almost went for...
0:17:34 > 0:17:36- What would you have said? - Night Of The Living Dead?
0:17:36 > 0:17:40It is Night Of The Living Dead. That would have scored 20.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42And the Halle Berry Bond film?
0:17:42 > 0:17:47- Is Die Another Day.- Die Another Day. Of course it is. 13 points for that.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50So the best answer on that board is 30 Days Of Night.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53Thanks very much, Richard. So, at the end of our first round,
0:17:53 > 0:17:56the pair who are heading home with our high score of 129,
0:17:56 > 0:17:58I'm sorry, Sharon and Jayne, it is you.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01The good news is we'll see you again next time. Look forward to that.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05I'm sure you'll go much further. Thanks very much. Sharon and Jayne.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08APPLAUSE
0:18:08 > 0:18:10For the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18We are now down to three pairs.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21For our next round, we'll have to go down to two pairs.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23But, in the meantime, I've got plaudits aplenty to hand out.
0:18:23 > 0:18:28Mark, well done, Eleanor, well done - our joint lowest individual scorers.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31John and Eleanor, our joint team low scorers
0:18:31 > 0:18:34and to Andrea and Bethan, well done, you made it through.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38Bethan, you lived up to your billing. Fantastic.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42Best of luck, all three pairs. Our category for Round Two today is...
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Flags. Can you all decide in your pairs
0:18:46 > 0:18:49who's going first, who's going second.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57Let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:18:57 > 0:19:02We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:19:02 > 0:19:05Flags Without Stripes as they could.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07Flags Without Stripes.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10We should call this round Cool Flags cos we're going to show you
0:19:10 > 0:19:1315 quite cool flags now and you need to tell us
0:19:13 > 0:19:16which country they are the flag of. There's some good ones.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20Very good indeed. So, we're going to put an image up with 15 flags on.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23That image will stay up the whole way through the round.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26You don't have to say which flag you're talking about.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30You can just say the name of a country whose flag is on that board.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34There we are. Let's reveal our image and here it is.
0:19:35 > 0:19:39- Oh, they ARE cool!- There's some nice ones, aren't there?
0:19:39 > 0:19:43I've got an early favourite. OK, now, there we go. Now, Mark.
0:19:43 > 0:19:48Yes, not my strongest subject, this. Um...I will...
0:19:48 > 0:19:50I'll play what I think is safe...
0:19:53 > 0:19:56- ..and go with Turkey. - OK, you're going to go with Turkey.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00Mark's going with Turkey. Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:20:03 > 0:20:04It's right.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Well done. 19 for Turkey.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13APPLAUSE Good start to the round.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Well played, Mark.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17They love me in Turkey because I'm an Osman
0:20:17 > 0:20:19and Turkey is full of Osmans.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22They think it's hilarious that I'm not Turkish.
0:20:22 > 0:20:27- Thanks very much indeed. Andrea.- Yes.
0:20:27 > 0:20:31- Andrea, are you happy with this as a round?- Um, I'm sort of...
0:20:31 > 0:20:34I think there are two on there I definitely know,
0:20:34 > 0:20:38two that I THINK I know, so I think I'm going to try and guess one
0:20:38 > 0:20:41and hope for the best and I'm going to go for Malaysia.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44Malaysia, says Andrea. Is it on there?
0:20:44 > 0:20:46If it is, how many people spotted it?
0:20:50 > 0:20:53No, bad luck, Andrea. An incorrect answer.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55It may very well not be the last incorrect answer
0:20:55 > 0:20:59of the round, so don't despair yet. But that scores you 100 points.
0:20:59 > 0:21:03No Malaysia there, I'm afraid. Take solace from the fact that probably
0:21:03 > 0:21:05the coolest flag in the world is the Welsh flag.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08We're very familiar with it but it's an amazing flag.
0:21:08 > 0:21:13- It's a great flag.- It's crazy. - I know.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16- Now, John.- Well...- John.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18Before we come on, I said to Eleanor
0:21:18 > 0:21:24that all the bad subjects began with an F and this is one of them.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27- It's great cos Football's coming up in the next round.- Not again!
0:21:27 > 0:21:31- You know you just did a brilliant Film round, right?- Oh, yeah.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34- No, Cinema, please. - Oh, OK. Yeah, there you go.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37However, I do know one of them
0:21:37 > 0:21:40and I'm heartened by the fact that there's a 100 on the board,
0:21:40 > 0:21:42so rather than guess, I'll go for Cyprus.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46Cyprus, says John. Let's see how many of our 100 people said Cyprus.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52It's right. 100 is our high score. You passed that immediately.
0:21:52 > 0:21:5419 is our low.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56You almost reached that. APPLAUSE
0:21:58 > 0:22:0022 for Cyprus.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02There's Cyprus, second one in on the bottom row.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05They've actually got a map of their country on their flag.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08Thanks very much. We're halfway through the round.
0:22:08 > 0:22:09Let's take a look at those scores.
0:22:09 > 0:22:1119 the best score of that pass, Mark. Well done.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14Then we travel up to 22 where we find John and Eleanor
0:22:14 > 0:22:19and then up to 100, Andrea and Bethan. Bethan, it's in your hands.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22We need a low score and it might be enough to keep you in the game.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26Best of luck. Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:22:30 > 0:22:32OK, now then, Eleanor.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35- Yes.- Eleanor, how is Flags for you?
0:22:35 > 0:22:38Quite strong until I saw THIS board.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42But I've spent a little bit of time in South Africa,
0:22:42 > 0:22:44so I'm going to go with South Africa.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47You're going with South Africa.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49OK, let's see if that's right
0:22:49 > 0:22:52and how many of our 100 people said it. Here's your red line.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55If you get below that, you're in the head-to-head.
0:23:00 > 0:23:01Bad luck, Eleanor.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05An incorrect answer scores you 100 points. Takes your total up to 122.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07You might still be all right.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10Eleanor, are you sure it was South Africa you spent a bit of time in?
0:23:10 > 0:23:14- I'm quite sure. - I would have a conversation
0:23:14 > 0:23:16- with your travel agent. - LAUGHTER
0:23:16 > 0:23:19OK, now, Bethan.
0:23:19 > 0:23:24We need a score of 21 or less from you.
0:23:24 > 0:23:28I know one or two of them but I think they'll be quite high scorers,
0:23:28 > 0:23:32so I'm going to take a bit of a guess and hope that it's right.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36- I will go for South Korea.- South Korea, says Bethan. South Korea.
0:23:36 > 0:23:40Here's your red line. Get below that, you're in the head-to-head.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43Let's see how many of our 100 said South Korea.
0:23:46 > 0:23:47It's right.
0:23:51 > 0:23:5325.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57APPLAUSE Takes your total up to 125, Bethan.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02Second in there on the second row, South Korea.
0:24:02 > 0:24:07Thank you very much indeed. Thank you. Now, OK, so, Sandra.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10- This is great news. You're in the head-to-head.- Yeah.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13I mean, you're NOT, you're still in this round,
0:24:13 > 0:24:17but you will get through to the head-to-head round, I'm saying.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20Do you want to talk us through the board at all?
0:24:20 > 0:24:23I think one of them might be Trinidad and Tobago
0:24:23 > 0:24:26and one of them might be Mongolia.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29But I'm hoping this is correct and I'm going to say it
0:24:29 > 0:24:33because my brother lives there and say Japan.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35OK, Japan, says Sandra. No red line for you.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38You're already through. Let's see how many people said Japan.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43It's right.
0:24:43 > 0:24:4573. High score but who cares? APPLAUSE
0:24:45 > 0:24:48You are through to the next round. 92 is your total.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50Safely through.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53Well, we haven't touched the nine best answers up there.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55If people at home have got a low-scorer,
0:24:55 > 0:24:59let's find out how you've done. The best answer on the board
0:24:59 > 0:25:03is the second on the right on the second row, is Mauritania.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06Very well done if you said Mauritania. 1 point for that.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09Also 1 point for Grenada which is the first one on the second row.
0:25:09 > 0:25:10- That's a good flag.- Mmm.
0:25:10 > 0:25:141 point also for Guyana which is in the middle of the bottom row.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Eleanor, maybe you were thinking that was South Africa?
0:25:16 > 0:25:19It's the one that's most like the South African flag.
0:25:19 > 0:25:20- Yeah.- Guyana, that is.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23You'd have got 2 points for Albania which is the bottom right there,
0:25:23 > 0:25:25the black and red one.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27You'd have got 2 points for Kazakhstan
0:25:27 > 0:25:30which is the top middle, the blue and yellow one.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33You'd have got 3 points for Macedonia.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35Macedonie, trois points.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37You'd have got 6 points for Vietnam.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41That's the red flag on the bottom row with the yellow star.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43You'd have got 11 points for Saudi Arabia,
0:25:43 > 0:25:45right next to the Vietnamese flag there.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49And you'd have got 34 for China, right in the middle.
0:25:49 > 0:25:55You'd have got 8 points for Morocco which is top row, second in.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59- And Brazil there would have scored you 58.- Thanks very much, Richard.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02So, at the end of our second round, the pair who are heading home
0:26:02 > 0:26:05with our high score of 125, I'm afraid it's Bethan and Andrea.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08Very strong performance across both shows
0:26:08 > 0:26:11and I'm sorry you didn't get further than the second round this time,
0:26:11 > 0:26:13but you can hold your heads up high
0:26:13 > 0:26:15when you talk about your Pointless careers.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18It's been lovely having you on the show. Bethan and Andrea.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21APPLAUSE
0:26:21 > 0:26:25But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28APPLAUSE
0:26:30 > 0:26:33Congratulations, John and Eleanor, Mark and Sandra.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35You're one step closer to the final
0:26:35 > 0:26:38and a chance to play for our jackpot which currently stands,
0:26:38 > 0:26:41in case you'd forgotten, at £4,000.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44APPLAUSE
0:26:46 > 0:26:49Well, John and Eleanor, your first appearance on the show
0:26:49 > 0:26:52and here you are, not only in the head-to-head,
0:26:52 > 0:26:55but as our golden couple, our lowest-scoring pair so far.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57Mark and Sandra, this is your second time here.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59It was Round Two we said goodbye to you last time.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01But here you are in the head-to-head.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03This is where you can start playing as a team.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06You can put your heads together and pool your knowledge.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09I think this is going to be very close. Best of luck to both pairs.
0:27:09 > 0:27:10Let's play the head-to-head.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13APPLAUSE
0:27:15 > 0:27:20OK, here comes your first question and it concerns...
0:27:22 > 0:27:24Cakes and desserts. Richard.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27We're going to show you the names of five cakes and desserts,
0:27:27 > 0:27:30but we've missed out alternate letters. Can you fill in the gaps?
0:27:30 > 0:27:34OK, let's reveal our five cakes and desserts and here they are.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46I'll read those one last time.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57John and Eleanor, you've been our low scorers,
0:27:57 > 0:27:59so you get to go first.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02- Feel free to confer. - Right, do you know the bottom one?
0:28:02 > 0:28:06- I've no idea.- I know the other ones but I don't know the bottom one.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08- What's the second one?- Oh...
0:28:08 > 0:28:10We'll go for the bottom one.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13- And that is sachertorte. - Sachertorte, say John and Eleanor.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15Sachertorte.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18Now, Mark and Sandra, what would you like to go for?
0:28:19 > 0:28:23We'll go for the second one which is...
0:28:23 > 0:28:25- blancmange.- Blancmange.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27So, we have sachertorte and we have blancmange.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30John and Eleanor said sachertorte. Let's see if that's right
0:28:30 > 0:28:32and how many of our 100 people said sachertorte.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44Down it goes. 10. Very well done. Great score.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46APPLAUSE
0:28:47 > 0:28:50Mark and Sandra, meanwhile, have gone for blancmange.
0:28:50 > 0:28:53Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said it.
0:28:56 > 0:28:57It's right.
0:29:02 > 0:29:0627. 27 for blancmange. APPLAUSE
0:29:06 > 0:29:08Which means well done, John and Eleanor.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11- After one question, you're up 1-0. - The other ones scored more points,
0:29:11 > 0:29:13so you got the best two answers on the board,
0:29:13 > 0:29:15so well played, both teams.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28Thanks very much. OK, here comes your second question.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30Mark and Sandra, you get to go first this time,
0:29:30 > 0:29:33but you have to win it to stay in the game, so good luck with that.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35It concerns...
0:29:38 > 0:29:39Famous Normans, Richard.
0:29:39 > 0:29:42We're going to show you five pictures of famous people
0:29:42 > 0:29:46commonly known by the name Norman. Can you identify the most obscure?
0:29:46 > 0:29:51Thanks very much. Let's reveal our five Normans and here they are.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14There we go. Five Normans.
0:30:14 > 0:30:17Mark and Sandra, you will go first.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22- I wish I knew C. Do you know C? - I have no idea.
0:30:22 > 0:30:26We'll go with E. Yeah? We are going to go with E
0:30:26 > 0:30:30which we believe is Norman Mailer.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33Norman Mailer, say Mark and Sandra. Norman Mailer.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36John and Eleanor, talk us through the rest of the Normans, if you can.
0:30:36 > 0:30:41A is Norman Wisdom, B is Stormin' Norman Schwarzkopf,
0:30:41 > 0:30:44D is Norman Cook from The Housemartins
0:30:44 > 0:30:46and we just can't place C at all.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49I believe we're going to go for Norman Schwarzkopf.
0:30:49 > 0:30:53OK, B, Norman Schwarzkopf. Norman Schwarzkopf, Norman Mailer.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55Mark and Sandra said Norman Mailer for E.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:31:01 > 0:31:02It is right.
0:31:06 > 0:31:10Very well done. 16 for Norman Mailer.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13APPLAUSE
0:31:13 > 0:31:17John and Eleanor have, meanwhile, gone for B, Norman Schwarzkopf.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20Let's see if that's right and how many people said that.
0:31:27 > 0:31:3028. APPLAUSE
0:31:30 > 0:31:32Well done, Mark and Sandra. You did what you had to do.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35You're back in the game. After two questions, it's 1-1.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37Two good answers again.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40There's a pointless answer up there and you can guess which one it is.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53And C is the pointless answer.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55He's the American painter and illustrator.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58He illustrated the covers of the Saturday Evening Post
0:31:58 > 0:32:00for over 40 years.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04- Well done if you said that at home. - Thanks very much.
0:32:04 > 0:32:06Here comes your third and final question.
0:32:06 > 0:32:10Whoever wins this goes through to the final and plays for that jackpot.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13Best of luck to both pairs. Our third question concerns...
0:32:16 > 0:32:19Cultural Arithmetic, Richard.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22We want you to complete the five sums you're about to see,
0:32:22 > 0:32:26given in these five clues. The team that gives the most obscure answer
0:32:26 > 0:32:29is going through to the final, so best of luck.
0:32:29 > 0:32:32OK, so let's reveal our five clues and here they come.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08I'll read those again.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37John and Eleanor will go first.
0:33:39 > 0:33:42I only know the bottom two. I could take good guesses at the other ones.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44- You know the Marie Curie one?- Yeah.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47INAUDIBLE WHISPERING
0:33:47 > 0:33:50- We're going to go for the middle one.- The History?
0:33:50 > 0:33:55- Yeah. We're going to say 1. - 1, say John and Eleanor. 1.
0:33:55 > 0:33:59Now, Mark and Sandra, the board's all yours. Talk us through it if you can.
0:33:59 > 0:34:04The first one we think is 10 years plus 3 general elections, so 13.
0:34:04 > 0:34:10The last one would be 2012 minus 1966 which would be 46.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12But we're going to go for the Science one
0:34:12 > 0:34:18which we think is 2 Nobel Prizes times 100 degrees Celsius, so 200.
0:34:18 > 0:34:22You're going to go for 200. So, we have 1 and 200.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24John and Eleanor said 1.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26Let's see if that's right and how many people said 1.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31It is right.
0:34:35 > 0:34:3720.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39APPLAUSE
0:34:41 > 0:34:43Now, Mark and Sandra, meanwhile, have said 200.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46Let's see if that's right and if it is let's see how many people said it.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54It has to beat 20.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57And it does. Look at that! 12! Very well done.
0:34:57 > 0:34:59APPLAUSE
0:34:59 > 0:35:01Which means, Mark and Sandra,
0:35:01 > 0:35:04after three questions, you are through to the final, 2-1.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07Very high quality head-to-head all round. Well played, everybody.
0:35:07 > 0:35:11The biggest scorer there is the Olympics and the World Cup one
0:35:11 > 0:35:13which you're right was 46.
0:35:13 > 0:35:15It would have scored you 42 points. Politics.
0:35:15 > 0:35:2010 years plus 3 elections, so the answer is 13. 6 points for that.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23This next one, you have to have two very specific genres of knowledge
0:35:23 > 0:35:25which don't often coincide,
0:35:25 > 0:35:28so you wouldn't be surprised to know this is a pointless answer.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31There were 1 Sex Pistols studio album,
0:35:31 > 0:35:344 operas in Wagner's Ring Cycle,
0:35:34 > 0:35:37so 5 is the answer there. Very well played if you got that at home.
0:35:37 > 0:35:41Thanks very much. The pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:35:41 > 0:35:43I'm afraid it's John and Eleanor.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46But you played so well throughout the show so far.
0:35:46 > 0:35:50We'll see you next time and I'm sure you'll come this far, if not further.
0:35:50 > 0:35:51Thanks, John and Eleanor.
0:35:51 > 0:35:55APPLAUSE DROWNS SPEECH
0:35:55 > 0:35:58But for Mark and Sandra, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01APPLAUSE
0:36:02 > 0:36:05Congratulations, Mark and Sandra. You fought off all the competition
0:36:05 > 0:36:08and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:14 > 0:36:16You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:36:16 > 0:36:21and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £4,000.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23APPLAUSE
0:36:23 > 0:36:27We've thrown everything at you. We started off with films,
0:36:27 > 0:36:31then we had flags, then we had cakes and puddings,
0:36:31 > 0:36:33then we had famous Normans
0:36:33 > 0:36:35and then we finished off with maths, cultural maths.
0:36:35 > 0:36:38And here you are, still standing, still smiling.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40What would you like to see come up in this last round?
0:36:40 > 0:36:44I would always like to see film come up, but it's come up once, so...
0:36:44 > 0:36:47First you have to choose the category, as you know,
0:36:47 > 0:36:50from the four that come up on the board. Let's see what is there today.
0:36:59 > 0:37:03- I know nothing about Motown.- No.- And I know nothing about Horse Racing.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06- Do you know anything about fashion? - Nothing.- Nothing.
0:37:06 > 0:37:10- Shall we go with 2012 then and see what comes up, I think?- Yeah.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12- We'll go with 2012.- OK, 2012 it is. Richard.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15Very best of luck. Here are your three options.
0:37:15 > 0:37:18We are looking for anyone who received a credit
0:37:18 > 0:37:22in two or more episodes of the sitcom Twenty Twelve.
0:37:22 > 0:37:25We are looking for any Team GB Olympic medallists
0:37:25 > 0:37:27from the 2012 Olympics.
0:37:27 > 0:37:30That's an individual medallist, please, in the Olympics -
0:37:30 > 0:37:34bronze, silver or gold for Team GB as an individual.
0:37:34 > 0:37:38Or we are looking for any act who had a UK number one album in 2012.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41So, any actors in Twenty Twelve, at least two episodes,
0:37:41 > 0:37:43credited in at least two episodes,
0:37:43 > 0:37:46Team GB Olympic medallists as individuals
0:37:46 > 0:37:49or acts who had a UK number one album in 2012. Best of luck.
0:37:49 > 0:37:50Thanks very much indeed.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53You've got up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56All you need to win that jackpot is for just one of those answers
0:37:56 > 0:37:59- to be pointless. Are you ready?- Yes.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock. Your time starts now.
0:38:04 > 0:38:06Right, first of all, Twenty Twelve.
0:38:06 > 0:38:10The problem with that, I find I'm getting confused with W1A.
0:38:10 > 0:38:14- Is it the television programme?- Yes. - Juliet Stevens...?
0:38:14 > 0:38:16- Jessica Hynes.- Jessica Hynes.
0:38:16 > 0:38:20- Um...- Um... Olympic medallists.
0:38:20 > 0:38:23- There's Mo Farah, Jessica Ennis. - Yeah.
0:38:23 > 0:38:27- Um...Charlotte Dujardin.- Yeah. - That's relatively...
0:38:27 > 0:38:29Any medallist though, isn't it?
0:38:29 > 0:38:32Yeah, could be Paralympic medallist as well.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35- Jade Jones?- Yes.
0:38:35 > 0:38:39- Relatively obscure. - That could be quite good.- Um...
0:38:39 > 0:38:42INAUDIBLE WHISPERING
0:38:43 > 0:38:46Who can you think of in Twenty Twelve?
0:38:46 > 0:38:50You've got Hugh Bonneville, Jessica Hynes, David Tennant...
0:38:50 > 0:38:52- Yeah.- Um...
0:38:52 > 0:38:56- Ten seconds left. - We're struggling a bit. Um...
0:38:58 > 0:39:02Any more Olympic medallists? Any obscure ones you can think of?
0:39:03 > 0:39:06OK, that is your time up, I'm afraid. What are you going to give me?
0:39:06 > 0:39:08What are your three answers going to be?
0:39:08 > 0:39:11- Shall we go for those two Olympic medallists?- Yeah.- So, Jade Jones.
0:39:11 > 0:39:15- Jade Jones.- And Charlotte Dujardin. - Charlotte Dujardin.
0:39:15 > 0:39:17The first one you came up with from Twenty Twelve?
0:39:17 > 0:39:20- Jessica Hynes.- Jessica Hynes.
0:39:20 > 0:39:24OK, of those three, which is your best shot at a Pointless answer?
0:39:24 > 0:39:26- Charlotte Dujardin. - We'll put that last.
0:39:26 > 0:39:29- Least likely to be pointless? - Probably Jessica Hynes.
0:39:29 > 0:39:31Jessica Hynes we'll put first.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34Let's pop those up on the board in that order and here they are.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42Three perfectly good answers up there.
0:39:42 > 0:39:45Now, let's just suppose one of those is pointless
0:39:45 > 0:39:48and you win that jackpot of £4,000, what would you do with it?
0:39:48 > 0:39:49Mark, to you first.
0:39:49 > 0:39:52I've been talking about setting up my own political party.
0:39:52 > 0:39:54Tell us more.
0:39:54 > 0:39:58I don't think I'm well enough served by the political parties we have,
0:39:58 > 0:40:01so I thought I'd set up the Marvellously Excellent Party.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03Brilliant! Sandra, how about you?
0:40:03 > 0:40:06I haven't been to see my brother who I mentioned lives in Japan,
0:40:06 > 0:40:08- so I'd probably fly out to see him. - OK.
0:40:08 > 0:40:12Now then, Mark and Sandra, three good answers up there.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14Let's hope at least one of those is pointless
0:40:14 > 0:40:17and will win that jackpot. Your first answer was Jessica Hynes.
0:40:17 > 0:40:19In this case, we were looking for
0:40:19 > 0:40:21cast members from the sitcom Twenty Twelve.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23It has to be pointless to win the jackpot.
0:40:23 > 0:40:27Let's see, for £4,000, how many people said Jessica Hynes.
0:40:30 > 0:40:34It's right. Well, if this goes all the way down to zero,
0:40:34 > 0:40:37we will send you home with £4,000.
0:40:37 > 0:40:41Down it goes, through the teens, into single figures. Still going down.
0:40:41 > 0:40:426 for Jessica Hynes.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44APPLAUSE
0:40:47 > 0:40:50Not a bad start though, I have to say.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53Not bad at all. Not a pointless answer, though,
0:40:53 > 0:40:56which means you have two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:40:56 > 0:40:59Your second answer was Jade Jones and in this case,
0:40:59 > 0:41:04we were looking for any medallist from Team GB in the 2012 Olympics.
0:41:04 > 0:41:07It has to be pointless, remember.
0:41:07 > 0:41:11How many people said Jade Jones? For £4,000.
0:41:15 > 0:41:21Well, it's right. Jessica Hynes, your first answer, took us down to 6.
0:41:21 > 0:41:24Jade Jones now taking us down through the teens.
0:41:24 > 0:41:26Single figures. Down it goes. Still going down.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29You've done it! Very well done indeed!
0:41:29 > 0:41:32APPLAUSE Brilliant! Absolutely fantastic!
0:41:32 > 0:41:35- Very, very well done!- Thank you.
0:41:35 > 0:41:38APPLAUSE
0:41:40 > 0:41:44Congratulations! Jade Jones was a pointless answer.
0:41:44 > 0:41:47That means you are going home with that jackpot of £4,000.
0:41:47 > 0:41:49Very well done indeed.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:41:53 > 0:41:55Very well played.
0:41:55 > 0:41:58Jade Jones, the taekwondo gold medallist in the 2012 Olympics.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00Charlotte Dujardin would have scored you 1 point.
0:42:00 > 0:42:03Let's take a look at the pointless answers in the different categories.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06Actors in Twenty Twelve. Let's start with that. Some very fine actors.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12Everyone apart from Hugh Bonneville Jessica Hynes,
0:42:12 > 0:42:14Olivia Colman, David Tennant and Sebastian Coe
0:42:14 > 0:42:17who appeared as himself in that series.
0:42:17 > 0:42:20Everyone else was pointless, so well done if you said somebody else.
0:42:20 > 0:42:22Team GB gold medallists.
0:42:22 > 0:42:24Anthony Joshua, the boxer.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26Ben Ainslie was a pointless answer, unbelievably.
0:42:26 > 0:42:30Robbie Grabarz the high jumper. You could have had all sorts of answers.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33Alan Campbell, Anthony Ogogo, Ed McKeever, Fred Evans,
0:42:33 > 0:42:35Gemma Gibbons, Jason Kenny, Max Whitlock, Michael Jamieson,
0:42:35 > 0:42:38Nick Dempsey, Peter Wilson, Samantha Murray.
0:42:38 > 0:42:41All of those are pointless, so well done if you said any of those.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44And acts who had a number one album.
0:42:44 > 0:42:46Conor Maynard's debut album was number one in 2012.
0:42:48 > 0:42:50Lots of other answers. Bruce Springsteen, Elton John,
0:42:50 > 0:42:53Jack White, Jake Bugg, Linkin Park, Marina And The Diamonds,
0:42:53 > 0:42:56Newton Faulkner, Nicki Minaj, Olly Murs, Plan B,
0:42:56 > 0:42:59Robbie Williams, The Vaccines. All of those were pointless answers.
0:42:59 > 0:43:02- Well done if you got any of those at home.- Thank you, Richard.
0:43:02 > 0:43:05Thanks, once again, to our winning pair, Mark and Sandra,
0:43:05 > 0:43:08who go away with today's jackpot of £4,000. Well done.
0:43:08 > 0:43:11APPLAUSE
0:43:13 > 0:43:16Join us next time when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge
0:43:16 > 0:43:19- to the test on Pointless. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:19 > 0:43:21And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
0:43:21 > 0:43:24APPLAUSE
