0:00:18 > 0:00:21APPLAUSE
0:00:21 > 0:00:24Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Welcome to Pointless, the game where we aim for the obscure
0:00:27 > 0:00:29and we ignore the obvious. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37- And couple number one.- Hi, my name is Judith and I live in Cornwall.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40And this is my sister, Ann, and she lives in Sheffield.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43- Couple number two.- Hi, I'm Grace. This is my husband, Gareth.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45- And we are from Bolton. - Couple number three.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Hi, Xander, my name is Chris. This is my girlfriend, Cat.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50- And we are from Glasgow. - And finally, couple number four.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Hi there. My name is Dave. This is my friend Gareth.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54We are from County Antrim, Northern Ireland.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56And these are today's contestants.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58APPLAUSE
0:00:58 > 0:01:00A very warm welcome. Thank you very much.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02We'll find out more about you throughout the show.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04That just leaves one more person for me to introduce,
0:01:04 > 0:01:07so smart, I just smile and nod. That's all I can do.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13- Hiya. Hi, everybody. - APPLAUSE
0:01:13 > 0:01:16- Good afternoon to you, sir.- Top of the afternoon to you.- How are you?
0:01:16 > 0:01:19- I'm very well, thank you.- Lot of beards on today's show.- Yes, yes.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21- It hasn't passed my notice. - I'm feeling underdressed.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Not just little beards, but some very, very impressive ones as well.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Also a lovely sort of UK spread of locations as well.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30From Cornwall to Glasgow to County Antrim...
0:01:30 > 0:01:33- A little bit of everything. - A little bit of everything.
0:01:33 > 0:01:34I bet when Chris came on the show,
0:01:34 > 0:01:37- he thought he'd have the most impressive beard.- Yes.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39I bet he didn't think he'd be third, gents.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41LAUGHTER
0:01:41 > 0:01:44I bet he didn't think he'd be going back to Scotland
0:01:44 > 0:01:47with a bronze medal. I'm almost certain of it.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Anyway, there we are. Thank you, Richard.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Mary and Esther got through to the final,
0:01:51 > 0:01:54but didn't win the jackpot last time, so we add another £1,000 to that.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58So today's jackpot starts off with rather an exciting £2,000.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01There we are. APPLAUSE
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Right, if everyone is ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14Well, three pairs of newcomers to the show. Welcome to you all.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16All you have to remember is that the pair with the highest score
0:02:16 > 0:02:19at the end of each round will be eliminated. You just
0:02:19 > 0:02:22have to do everything you can to make sure you are not that pair.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26No conferring till the head-to-head round. Our first category today is...
0:02:29 > 0:02:30Pop Singers. Can you decide
0:02:30 > 0:02:32who's going first, who's going second?
0:02:32 > 0:02:35And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40OK. And the question concerns...
0:02:44 > 0:02:46One-word UK Hit Singles. Richard.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49In a moment, Xander is going to show you the names of six music acts.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52We are looking for any UK top 40 single by any of those acts
0:02:52 > 0:02:57up to March 2015, please, which has a one-word title.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59- Perfect.- That's all you need. - There we go. As Richard mentioned,
0:02:59 > 0:03:01we'll put the names of six acts on the board.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04They don't change halfway through the round. So bad luck.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06If you don't like it, you'll have to lump it.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09It goes all the way up and back without a change of board.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13We just want a one-word single from any one of these acts.
0:03:13 > 0:03:14Here they are.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29There we are. Simple as that. And a very warm welcome to the show.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31- Here from Sheffield.- I am.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33And what keeps you busy up in Sheffield, Ann?
0:03:33 > 0:03:36Well, I was a retired nurse. I am a retired nurse.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39And now, I am really a full-time golfer.
0:03:39 > 0:03:43A full-time golfer. How long since you retired?
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Oh, it's about ten years.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47- Oh, and the golf you love? - Golf, love.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49- Lots of friends in the golf club? - Absolutely.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53- Oh, that is rather a nice life, isn't it?- It is, it is.- Very good.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55I mean, do you miss life on the ward?
0:03:55 > 0:03:58- Not at all. Not in the slightest. - Not even slightly.- No.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01And aside from golf? Or is it not even worth going there?
0:04:01 > 0:04:04- Is there any life aside from golf for you?- I dance as well.
0:04:04 > 0:04:05I enjoy dancing.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08- Dancing and golfing. Ann, it just gets better and better.- It does.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11- Right on the edge of the peaks there. - Absolutely, yes.- Beautiful.
0:04:11 > 0:04:17Now, Ann, single-word singles from any of these artists.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21Um... Michael Jackson, Bad.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Bad, says Ann. Bad.
0:04:23 > 0:04:24Let's see if that's good.
0:04:27 > 0:04:28It is good.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36Not bad at all, Ann. Gets us off to a good start there.
0:04:36 > 0:04:3832 for Bad.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40A good start with Bad.
0:04:40 > 0:04:46- Yes, from 1987, number three single. - Hm. Bad start. BAD start to the show.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48Now, Grace, welcome.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Welcome here from Bolton. What do you do, Grace?
0:04:50 > 0:04:54- I am a youth and children's worker. - Excellent. In what context?
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Not in a school's context?
0:04:56 > 0:05:00I work for nine churches and five schools, so I cover quite a big mix.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03So, working for schools and churches? Do you get any days off at all?
0:05:03 > 0:05:07- Saturday, maybe?- I get one day off a week.- Whoa!- Yeah.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10- And you chose to come here on it, isn't that nice?- I know.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12Thank you very much indeed.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15Grace, what interests you outside of your work?
0:05:15 > 0:05:18- Well, I have three children, so they take up a lot of my time.- Indeed.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20But when I do get time to relax,
0:05:20 > 0:05:23- it is mainly eating lots of chocolate...- Perfect.
0:05:23 > 0:05:24..and watching TV.
0:05:24 > 0:05:29Excellent. Excellent, excellent. Now, Grace, one-word hit singles.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31I can think of a few.
0:05:31 > 0:05:32It is a bit difficult to know
0:05:32 > 0:05:33which one to go for.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35I think I'm going to go for Judas,
0:05:35 > 0:05:36by Lady Gaga.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Judas. Judas, says Grace. Let's see if that's right.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42If it is, let's see how many of our 100 said Judas.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46It's right.
0:05:46 > 0:05:4932 is our only score at this point.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51You pass it.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Oh, and how you pass it. 3 for Judas.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55- APPLAUSE - Well done.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Good answer.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01That is a terrific answer, Grace. Very well played.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04- Top 10 hit from 2011 for Lady Gaga. - Thanks very much, Richard.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08Now, Chris, welcome back. Chris, remind us what you do.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10I work for a telecommunications provider helping businesses
0:06:10 > 0:06:12with their bills.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15- And a very keen football fan?- Yes.
0:06:15 > 0:06:19- A fan of Liverpool?- Yes. - Interestingly enough. How often...
0:06:19 > 0:06:20Do you watch them play at home
0:06:20 > 0:06:22or do you tend to watch them when they are away?
0:06:22 > 0:06:25- Mainly in Liverpool. I get down five or six times a season.- OK.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29- So quite a bit.- And aside from football, what excites you?
0:06:29 > 0:06:30Watching Pointless.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32This is just marvellous. Thank you. Yeah.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35APPLAUSE Well done.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38- A finalist I think, Richard. - Yeah, I think so.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41I'm just going to change a couple of the rounds later on, just to...
0:06:41 > 0:06:45LAUGHTER Chris, what would you like to go for?
0:06:45 > 0:06:48I know a few, but they are very, very obvious.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51I'm trying to think of the least-obvious most obvious one.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54I think I'll go for Robbie Williams and Angels.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Angels, says Chris.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58OK, let's see if that's right,
0:06:58 > 0:07:00let's see how many of our 100 said Angels.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04It's right.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09APPLAUSE 44.
0:07:09 > 0:07:1244 for Angels.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Yeah, and he got to number four in 1997.
0:07:15 > 0:07:16OK. There we are.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19Good. Now, Gareth... Look at this, we've got two Gareths.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21- I know.- I mean, we've never had double Gareth before.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23I don't think we ever have had double Gareth.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26I don't think we've had a surfeit of Gareth before.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30I know the EU asks us to keep it to one Gareth per show maximum. But
0:07:30 > 0:07:33you know what, sometimes we don't do what the EU tells us, Gareth. OK?
0:07:33 > 0:07:34And this is one of those occasions.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38It is indeed. OK. So, Gareth M, welcome to the show.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Great to have you here. What do you do, Gareth?
0:07:41 > 0:07:44- I work for a company that builds trailers for lorries.- Very good.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48- What are your interests, Gareth? - I play drums in a band.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51- What kind of band is it? - Rock band. Rock covers.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Drumming, that keep you fit? They always say drummers are
0:07:54 > 0:07:56- the most fit members of a band. - That's what they say, yeah.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58You've got to lug all that kit around.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Do the others help with that?
0:08:00 > 0:08:02- Guitarists, singers... - Can't believe that!
0:08:02 > 0:08:06- Now, Gareth.- Yep. - What are you going to go for?
0:08:07 > 0:08:10I was going to go straight on a punt for Madonna.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Whether it was a hit single, I'm not too sure.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16So first round, I'll play it safe. Robbie Williams, Millennium.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Millennium, says Gareth. Millennium.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Let's see how many of our 100 people said Millennium.
0:08:24 > 0:08:25It's right.
0:08:30 > 0:08:31Not bad at all.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Look at that, 13.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40And that is the most played song at millennium celebrations.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42- Isn't that weird? - That is weird, isn't it?
0:08:42 > 0:08:45- I was thinking it would be sort of maybe the Olympics...- No, no, no.
0:08:45 > 0:08:50He's going to make another fortune in about...984 year's time.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52- Something like that. - Thank you very much.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54We're halfway through the round. Let's look at those scores.
0:08:54 > 0:08:563, the best score of the pass, Grace.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Very well done indeed to you.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01Then up to 13 - well done, Gareth - where we find David and Gareth.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Then up to 32 - Ann and Judith, not bad.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Then 44, Chris and Cat out in front.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08Cat, I've said this to you before in previous shows,
0:09:08 > 0:09:11we need some Cat magic at this point. Yes, when we come back down,
0:09:11 > 0:09:14a nice low-scoring one-word single, please.
0:09:14 > 0:09:15We'll come back down the line now.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Now, David, a warm welcome to Pointless. Great to have you here.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25What do you do, David?
0:09:25 > 0:09:28I am a warehouse supervisor for an online retailer.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30And how do you and Gareth know each other?
0:09:30 > 0:09:34We've been friends for longer than I care to remember.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37Right. And your interests, David?
0:09:37 > 0:09:39- I also play in a band, but a different band.- A different band.
0:09:39 > 0:09:44- A rival band.- No.- Don't say what you play, I'm going to try and guess.
0:09:44 > 0:09:45- Bass guitar.- No.
0:09:45 > 0:09:50- Ah!- Oh, can I guess? Drums as well. - No. Two pointless answers.- No.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52LAUGHTER
0:09:52 > 0:09:55APPLAUSE
0:09:57 > 0:10:02- Guitar.- Well, yeah, by...- By process of elimination. Well, we got it.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06- Guitar!- Yes! Well done.- Thank you. That is the definition of too kind.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Now, David, there you are, on 13.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11The high-scorers at this point are Cat and Chris on 44.
0:10:11 > 0:10:1330 or less is what we need.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15As you can probably tell by looking at us,
0:10:15 > 0:10:17this wouldn't be our style of music.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21It's interesting, that. What is your style of music, David?
0:10:21 > 0:10:26- Rock.- Rock, hm. - I know a few, thankfully.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29But I'm going to plump for David Bowie and Heroes.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33Heroes, says David. Sounds good to me. Here is your red line.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36If you can get below hat with Heroes, you're definitely in the next round.
0:10:36 > 0:10:37How many people said Heroes?
0:10:39 > 0:10:41It's right.
0:10:44 > 0:10:45Well done, you're through.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48That's a great answer. 6! Best...
0:10:48 > 0:10:52Second-best, I should say, score of the round so far.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54- 19 is your total. - Yeah, another good answer.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56Very well played on that final podium.
0:10:56 > 0:11:01- Guess what number that got to on the charts.- Seven.- 24.- No!
0:11:01 > 0:11:05- Yeah, there you go.- There you are. Thank you. Extraordinary.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07- Now, Cat...- Hey.- Welcome back.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11- Now, Cat, we discovered last time you make candles.- Yes.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13- And also models out of wax.- Yes.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15Now, when you're making models out of wax...
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Do you make sort of toys and animals?
0:11:17 > 0:11:21Yeah, I mean, I've done like a bunny candle before and I've done
0:11:21 > 0:11:24a Pointless podium candle as well, so that's kept me busy.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26When you do the bunny candle,
0:11:26 > 0:11:29- I mean, is the bunny sort of sitting on its...?- Yeah.- I suppose...
0:11:29 > 0:11:30It sits on its back legs
0:11:30 > 0:11:32and then the wick comes out between its two ears.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36- Very good.- It looks OK.- Very good. I suppose you could get one of those...
0:11:36 > 0:11:37You know those plaster cast things
0:11:37 > 0:11:39you used to get when you were younger?
0:11:39 > 0:11:42I've got a couple of silicone moulds which I start off with,
0:11:42 > 0:11:45- but then the rest of it is just done by hand, so...- Very good.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48OK, now, Cat, you're on 44.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50You are currently the high-scorers.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52- You know what we need.- Yeah.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54I've got a couple of safe options.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Since we are the high-scorers,
0:11:57 > 0:11:58I think I'm just going to have
0:11:58 > 0:11:59to take a risk.
0:11:59 > 0:12:05It is an older song and it was done by Katy Perry and 303.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07And it's Starstruck.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10Starstruck. Starstruck.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12OK, no red line, you are the high-scorers,
0:12:12 > 0:12:16but let's see how far down the column you can get with Starstruck.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19It's right.
0:12:20 > 0:12:233 is our lowest score at this point.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27That's what you need, Cat!
0:12:27 > 0:12:28That is absolutely superb!
0:12:28 > 0:12:31It scores you absolutely nothing and adds £250
0:12:31 > 0:12:35to today's jackpot, takes our total up to £2,250.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38It leaves your total at 44 and earns you a massive pat
0:12:38 > 0:12:40on the back from all of us.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42- Very well done indeed. - Terrific answer, Cat.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44And as you said, it is 303 featuring Katy Perry.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47So it is a very, very good answer.
0:12:47 > 0:12:51Thank you, Richard. Now, Gareth.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54Gareth Thomas, what a... I think
0:12:54 > 0:12:57we should have some sort of Thomas family commemorative,
0:12:57 > 0:12:59I don't know, like a tankard or something. Or something.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01- Is he from THAT Thomas family?- Yes.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05Gareth's father - I think this is right - is the Reverend Tom Thomas.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08- Reverend Tom Thomas. - The Rev Tom Thomas.- A Pointless hero.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10A Pointless hero from many series ago.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13- But we've had two of your brothers on, I think.- Yes.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15- We have had a cousin of yours on. - Yes.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18- I don't think any of them have yet covered themselves in glory.- No.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21We're hoping that we might be the ones to do it.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23Oh! Gareth, the best of luck.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26So is there a sort of interfamilial thing where you all discuss...?
0:13:26 > 0:13:28Very much. It's a huge competition, this.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31So what's the best of your siblings? What's the best performance?
0:13:31 > 0:13:32From your family, I should say.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35The best performance, I think, was from my brother Hugh
0:13:35 > 0:13:37and my cousin Owen, who got to the head-to-head.
0:13:37 > 0:13:42- OK.- So no Pointless trophies in the family?- No.- OK.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46- Gareth, what do you do? - I am a vicar.- Another...!
0:13:46 > 0:13:48LAUGHTER
0:13:48 > 0:13:51- Is there anyone in your family who isn't a vicar?- Only my brother Ben.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53He's the one with the brains.
0:13:53 > 0:13:54Ah!
0:13:54 > 0:13:59Yes. OK. So we've had the brains and the spirit.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01And a bit more spirit to come.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05Now, Gareth, wonderful low score from Grace on the first pass there,
0:14:05 > 0:14:06which puts you in a very strong position.
0:14:06 > 0:14:0840 or less gets you through.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Come on, spirit of Thomas.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12That might not be a good spirit to have.
0:14:12 > 0:14:16I'm going to go for Madonna and Vogue.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Vogue, says Gareth T.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23Here's your red line. Get below that with Vogue, you're into Round Two.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32- Well done, you're through.- Just.
0:14:32 > 0:14:3325, takes your total
0:14:33 > 0:14:34up to 28.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40Well played, Gareth. Another number one single, that one, from 1990.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Could he be the greatest Thomas of all time?
0:14:43 > 0:14:48Could be. Could just be. Thank you. Now, Judith, a warm welcome.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50- Here from Cornwall. - Absolutely.- From Cornwall.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52What do you get up to down in Cornwall, Judith?
0:14:52 > 0:14:55Well, I actually work in Plymouth now.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58- I've gone back to work, and I work for an IT company.- Right.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01And you cross the border into Plymouth every day.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04- Yeah, they allow me in. - Smuggling tin in your pockets.
0:15:05 > 0:15:06And you are working in IT there?
0:15:06 > 0:15:08- Yes.- Have you always been in IT?- No.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11- Or is this something you trained up to?- No.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15I've only recently gone back to work, having worked
0:15:15 > 0:15:19- with my husband for 12 years renovating properties.- Right.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Now then, Judith, this is very exciting.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24You are on 32. You have to score
0:15:24 > 0:15:27- 11 or less.- No pressure.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30What are you going to go for? You can do some thinking out loud, I think.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Most of my answers, actually, have gone.
0:15:33 > 0:15:34And they weren't great, to be honest.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37Vogue was the one I was actually
0:15:37 > 0:15:40hoping for, but I'm afraid...
0:15:40 > 0:15:41So I think it is
0:15:41 > 0:15:43the title of a song,
0:15:43 > 0:15:46so I'm going to go for Pressure, David Bowie.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50- OK, Pressure.- Mm-hm. - OK, here is your red line.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53If you can get under that with Pressure, you're doing very well.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Let's see if it is right.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59No, I'm sorry, Judith. Bad luck.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Always tough being on that first podium.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Usually cos you have to go first, but sometimes cos you go last
0:16:04 > 0:16:05and all your answers get nicked.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08Scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 132. I'm sorry.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12Yeah, Under Pressure, I'm afraid. David Bowie and Queen.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14And they don't take one word each either. Otherwise...
0:16:14 > 0:16:17- Otherwise it would be perfect. That'd be handy, wouldn't it?- Yeah.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21Lots of pointless answers out there. I'll go through them by act.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25David Bowie. Pointless answers - Seven and Survive.
0:16:25 > 0:16:26His biggest scorer was Starman -
0:16:26 > 0:16:29would only have scored you 8 points.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32Katy Perry - only one pointless answer, and that was Starstruck.
0:16:32 > 0:16:33Very well done, Cat
0:16:33 > 0:16:36Lady Gaga has a few pointless answers - Chillin,
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Hair and LoveGame. For Madonna, the pointless answers were...
0:16:39 > 0:16:42Celebration. So a well-known song was a pointless answer.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Erotica, also a pointless answer.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47Fever, Gambler, Jump, Rain and Secret.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50All of those were pointless answers. Michael Jackson -
0:16:50 > 0:16:54pointless answers for History, Ghost, Jam and Why.
0:16:54 > 0:16:59For Robbie Williams, pointless answers - Radio, Feel, Rudebox...
0:16:59 > 0:17:01There are some big singles here.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03..Lovelight, Freedom, Misunderstood and Tripping.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05All of those were pointless answers.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07Very well done if you said any of those.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10Thanks very much. At the end of our first round, the pair heading home,
0:17:10 > 0:17:14I'm afraid, with their high score of 132 is Judith and Ann.
0:17:14 > 0:17:18I'm sorry to send you home so soon in this game, but you will be back.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20- I'm sure you'll do much better. - Thank you.- We look forward to that.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23Judith and Ann, in the meantime, thanks very much.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26APPLAUSE
0:17:26 > 0:17:29But for the remaining three pairs, it is now time for Round Two.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36And so suddenly, we are down to three pairs.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39At the end of this round, we will say goodbye to another pair.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42Well, I've got all sorts of congratulations to hand out.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46The beard brothers over there on the far podium, very well done to you.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Our lowest team score. Very good.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50Cat, again and again and again,
0:17:50 > 0:17:54you just ace it on the individual low scores. Absolutely fantastic.
0:17:54 > 0:17:55Consistently impressive.
0:17:55 > 0:18:00And Grace and Gareth, you are inching ever closer to Thomas family
0:18:00 > 0:18:03and Pointless annals. You are doing incredibly well.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06This is very exciting indeed. Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Our category for Round Two this afternoon is...
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Chapter Titles. Can you all decide who's going to go first,
0:18:14 > 0:18:15who's going to go second?
0:18:15 > 0:18:18And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23OK, and the question concerns...
0:18:27 > 0:18:29Books By Chapter Titles. Richard.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32On each board, we want you to identify six novels
0:18:32 > 0:18:34just from some of the chapter titles in those novels.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37We are also going to give you the name of the authors in brackets.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Six on the first board, six on the second.
0:18:39 > 0:18:4112 in all to have a go at at home. Good luck.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43So we are looking for the books that have these chapter titles.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Here is our first board of six.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15I'll read those again one last time.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39Grace, you are up first.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43Thank you. I know a few of these, it is just trying to work out...
0:19:43 > 0:19:44There all quite obvious ones.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46I'm trying to work out which one is the lowest one.
0:19:46 > 0:19:50I think I'll go for the second one down, the Playing Pilgrims,
0:19:50 > 0:19:52and say Little Women.
0:19:52 > 0:19:56Little Women, says Grace. Little Women. Good answer, I reckon.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00Let's see if it's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:20:00 > 0:20:01It's right.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09There we go, Grace. Very well done indeed.
0:20:09 > 0:20:1015, great start to the round.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14Well played, Grace. Yeah, Little Women. So it has endured.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16She wrote it in a few weeks.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19It has endured and will endure for centuries to come.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21I'm sure it will. Richard, thank you.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25- Now, Chris. Chris...- Possibly the worst round you could've given me.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28I have not read any of them. Unsurprisingly.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31But I think I know two.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33So the one that will probably score less - Ahab, The Mast-head,
0:20:33 > 0:20:36The Whiteness Of The Whale. Obviously, Moby-Dick.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39Obviously Moby-Dick, says Chris. Moby-Dick.
0:20:39 > 0:20:40Let's see how obvious it is.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:20:43 > 0:20:44It's right.
0:20:48 > 0:20:5038. Not bad, Chris.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52Not bad at all.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Yep, damage limitation, we would call that.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57Inspired by a true story, Moby-Dick was.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00Thank you very much indeed, Richard. OK, now, David.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02David, do you fancy talking us through that board
0:21:02 > 0:21:05and supplying all the missing answers?
0:21:05 > 0:21:07I was sure of two. One is gone.
0:21:07 > 0:21:11The top one should be fairly obvious, I think.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14That's A Christmas Carol. The fourth and fifth I don't know.
0:21:14 > 0:21:19And the last one, I think, is The Hobbit.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22But it might be one of the other of the trilogy. When I'm just...
0:21:22 > 0:21:25I'm going to go with The Hobbit for the last one.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27OK, David says The Hobbit.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said The Hobbit.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33It's right. Well-chosen.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39Not bad at all. 24.
0:21:41 > 0:21:4224 for The Hobbit.
0:21:42 > 0:21:43Well played, David.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46I suspect that is such a low score because it could've been...
0:21:46 > 0:21:49There are other Tolkien books that you could imagine those chapters
0:21:49 > 0:21:51titles might have been in. But it was The Hobbit.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54Now, the top one, you're right, it is A Christmas Carol.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56But you are right to go for the one you went for
0:21:56 > 0:21:58cos that would've scored you 46. The fourth one down, Xander?
0:21:58 > 0:22:01- Is The Wizard Of Oz. - The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz.
0:22:01 > 0:22:02The WONDERFUL Wizard Of Oz.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Would've scored you 45. And the other one?
0:22:05 > 0:22:07- Lord Of The Flies. - Lord Of The Flies, of course.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10Everyone did it at O level, or GCSE. 19 points for that.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13So Little Women is the best answer on the board, Grace. Well played.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16There we are. Thank you very much. Let's look at those scores.
0:22:16 > 0:22:17Well done, the Thomas family, there.
0:22:17 > 0:22:2115. Lovely low score. Up to 24, where we find David and Gareth M.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23And then up to 38, Chris and Cat.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Cat, I say this to you every time,
0:22:25 > 0:22:29every time you do it. We have got to have you in the head-to-head.
0:22:29 > 0:22:30Because always a low score from you.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33Best of luck with the next board. We'll come back down the line now.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:22:39 > 0:22:42OK, we're going to put six more chapter titles up on the board,
0:22:42 > 0:22:43and here they are.
0:22:45 > 0:22:46We've got...
0:23:09 > 0:23:11I'll read those all one last time.
0:23:31 > 0:23:32There we are. Remember, we are
0:23:32 > 0:23:35looking for the books that have these chapter headings.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39And Gareth M, you are going to find a nice low-scoring one.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42OK, I know quite a few of them.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45But I think I'll go for the fourth one down -
0:23:45 > 0:23:47The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe, says Gareth. Here is your red line.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Quite low. If you get below that,
0:23:52 > 0:23:54you're definitely in the head-to-head.
0:23:54 > 0:23:58How many people said The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe?
0:23:58 > 0:23:59It's right.
0:24:02 > 0:24:03Not bad, 38.
0:24:05 > 0:24:0862 is your total.
0:24:08 > 0:24:12When he was four, CS Lewis announced to everyone he wanted to be called
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Jacksie, after the name of a dog that he liked.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17It was shortened to Jack, fortunately,
0:24:17 > 0:24:20- but he was known by that for the rest of his life.- Jack, it was.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22Jacksie to his friends.
0:24:22 > 0:24:26Now, Cat, you know what we need from you. You know what we need.
0:24:26 > 0:24:31- You have to score 23 or less. I know you can do it.- Thanks. Thanks.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Well, I think if we get through this round,
0:24:33 > 0:24:35I'll need to stop making candles
0:24:35 > 0:24:37- and become a magician anyway. - LAUGHTER
0:24:37 > 0:24:39There is only one I don't know from there.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41I do quite enjoy my books.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43And I think that will be the best scorer.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45But I'm going to go for Lewis Carroll
0:24:45 > 0:24:47and Through The Looking Glass.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50Through The Looking Glass, says Cat.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Through The Looking Glass. There is your red line.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54If you get below that, you are into the head-to-head.
0:24:54 > 0:24:58Let's see how many of our 100 people said Through The Looking Glass.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Oh... Bad luck, Cat. That, I'm afraid,
0:25:04 > 0:25:06is 100 points.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08- Takes your total up to 138. - Yeah, sorry, Cat.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12I'll give all the correct answers at the end of the pass.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15Thanks very much. Now then, Gareth.
0:25:16 > 0:25:20Before you give an answer, let me just...let me
0:25:20 > 0:25:24just share the news with you. This is another Thomas head-to-head.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27We are looking at another Thomas head-to-head.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29That's all I had to say.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32- Will you talk us through the board, please, Gareth?- I would that I could.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35It's Charlie And The Chocolate Factory at the top.
0:25:35 > 0:25:39I really feel I should know the second one, but I don't.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42I think it is Alice In Wonderland, the third one down.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46It is Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone from JK Rowling.
0:25:46 > 0:25:47And I don't know Gillian Flynn.
0:25:47 > 0:25:48And I think I am going to go for
0:25:48 > 0:25:50Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone, says Gareth.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55No red line for you, as you are already through,
0:25:55 > 0:25:57but let's see how far down the column we get
0:25:57 > 0:25:59with Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone.
0:26:09 > 0:26:1233 is your total.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15Well played, Gareth. Great partnership on podium one as well.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19Now, let's fill these in. It is Charlie And The Chocolate Factory.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22That would have scored you 45. The next one, Kenneth Grahame?
0:26:22 > 0:26:24- The Wind In The Willows. - Is The Wind In The Willows,
0:26:24 > 0:26:26of course it is. It would have scored you 37.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28Now, the Lewis Carroll one.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30It's Alice's Adventures In Wonderland, I'm afraid.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33That was the follow-up, the one that you gave us.
0:26:33 > 0:26:3443 points for that.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37And it is the biggest book of the last few years, huge film as well.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40- Gone Girl.- Gone Girl is the answer to the bottom one.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42Best answer on the board, 7 points.
0:26:42 > 0:26:43Thanks very much, Richard.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46At the end of our second round, the pair heading...
0:26:46 > 0:26:47I'm so sorry, Chris and Cat.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49So nearly in the head-to-head there.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51And we have had such a strong performance from you
0:26:51 > 0:26:54across the two shows you've been in. I'm sorry we say goodbye to you now.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57Thank you. It's been lovely having you on. Cat and Chris, everyone.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00APPLAUSE
0:27:01 > 0:27:04But for Gareth and David, Grace and Gareth, it is
0:27:04 > 0:27:06now time for our head-to-head.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14Very well done, Grace and Gareth, Gareth and David.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16You are now one step closer to the final
0:27:16 > 0:27:21and a chance to play for our jackpot which currently stands at £2,250.
0:27:21 > 0:27:25APPLAUSE
0:27:25 > 0:27:27Well, you know the score at this point.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29You are allowed to start playing as teams.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32First player to win two questions plays for that jackpot.
0:27:32 > 0:27:37Well, very well done. I mean, it's Gareth on Gareth. It is a Garethon.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40Very exciting. And also very exciting to have the Thomases here,
0:27:40 > 0:27:42and in the golden couple status there.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45So very, very well done indeed. Best of luck to both pairs.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47Let's play the head-to-head.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55And here comes your first question, and it concerns...
0:27:58 > 0:28:00Famous People Born In Chicago.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03We'll show you five pictures now of famous people who were
0:28:03 > 0:28:06- born in Chicago. Can you identify the most obscure?- How exciting.
0:28:06 > 0:28:11Let's reveal our five famous Chicagoans. And here they are.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39There we go.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41Five famous people born in Chicago.
0:28:41 > 0:28:45Grace and Gareth, you are our low scorers, so you will go first.
0:28:45 > 0:28:49THEY WHISPER
0:28:50 > 0:28:53I think we will go for E - Hugh Hefner.
0:28:53 > 0:28:56Hugh Hefner. Hugh Hefner, say Grace and Gareth.
0:28:56 > 0:28:57Now, Gareth and David,
0:28:57 > 0:29:00talk us through as much of the board as you can, of the rest.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02Well, I think we know them all apart from B,
0:29:02 > 0:29:04who we have no idea about. A's Harrison Ford.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06C is Gillian Anderson.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08We think D is Michael Flatley.
0:29:08 > 0:29:09The Riverdance man.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12- Flatley?- We'll go Flatley, D. - You're going to go with Flatley?
0:29:12 > 0:29:16OK, Flatley. We have Hefner and Flatley.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19Now then, Grace and Gareth said Hugh Hefner for E.
0:29:19 > 0:29:23Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said Hugh Hefner.
0:29:26 > 0:29:27It's good.
0:29:35 > 0:29:3827 for the Hef.
0:29:38 > 0:29:42Now, Gareth and David have gone or the Flat. D - Michael Flatley.
0:29:42 > 0:29:45Is it right? How many of our 100 people said that?
0:29:47 > 0:29:48It is right.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52It's got to beat 27, though.
0:29:52 > 0:29:53Oh, it does! There we go,
0:29:53 > 0:29:55Michael Flatley. Well done.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57APPLAUSE
0:29:57 > 0:30:00Which means, Gareth and David, after one question, you are up 1-0.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03Terrific answer. Took us through the board nicely as well, apart from B.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05You are right about A - Harrison Ford.
0:30:05 > 0:30:07Only scored 65 points, actually.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09I thought he might score more than that.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12C, you are correct, is Gillian Anderson.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14She would have scored you 18 points.
0:30:14 > 0:30:17Would have been an even better answer than the one you gave.
0:30:17 > 0:30:19But B is the author of Jurassic Park,
0:30:19 > 0:30:21- the creator of ER, all sorts of things.- Ah!
0:30:21 > 0:30:25- Michael Crichton.- Michael Crichton. It is a pointless answer.
0:30:25 > 0:30:26So very well done if you said that.
0:30:26 > 0:30:30Excellent. Thank you very much. OK, here comes your second question.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33Grace and Gareth, you need to win this one to stay in the game.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35But Gareth and David will be answering it first.
0:30:35 > 0:30:36It concerns...
0:30:39 > 0:30:42The Letter X. Richard.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45We are going to show you five clues now that relate to the letter X,
0:30:45 > 0:30:48you just need to give us the most obscure answer you can.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51OK, let's reveal our X clues. And here they come.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08I'll read those all one last time.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24Gareth and David will go first.
0:31:28 > 0:31:31THEY WHISPER
0:31:33 > 0:31:37I think we know four, but we are going to go for the chemical
0:31:37 > 0:31:40element beginning with X. And I think it is xenon.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43Xenon. Xenon, say Gareth and David. Xenon.
0:31:43 > 0:31:46OK, now then, Grace and Gareth, do you want to talk us through
0:31:46 > 0:31:49all those clues to see how many of them you can answer?
0:31:49 > 0:31:55Well, we know the number of X chromosomes in a female is two.
0:31:55 > 0:31:59Sequence used to represent Morse code, no idea.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02Ten is the number represented by X in Roman numerals.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05And I think it is nine for the telephone.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07You think...?
0:32:07 > 0:32:09Well, it is either the top or the bottom, so go for it.
0:32:09 > 0:32:13- Go.- No, no pressure(!) - HE LAUGHS
0:32:13 > 0:32:16I'll... We'll go for
0:32:16 > 0:32:19nine being the number that it normally appears on.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22Nine on the telephone keypad. We have xenon and we have nine.
0:32:22 > 0:32:26Now then, Gareth and David said xenon. Let's see if that's right.
0:32:26 > 0:32:30And if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said xenon.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32It's right.
0:32:36 > 0:32:3736.
0:32:39 > 0:32:4136 for xenon. Now, Grace and Gareth,
0:32:41 > 0:32:43you have to win this one to stay in the game,
0:32:43 > 0:32:44so best of luck.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47You have gone for the number nine,
0:32:47 > 0:32:50the number on which the X appears on the standard keypad.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53Let's see if that is right. Let's see how many people said nine.
0:32:54 > 0:32:55It's right!
0:32:57 > 0:33:00Now, it has to beat 36... Oh! 51.
0:33:03 > 0:33:0651. Well, very well done, Gareth and David.
0:33:06 > 0:33:10That means, after only two questions, you are through to the final, 2-0.
0:33:10 > 0:33:11Well played, gents.
0:33:11 > 0:33:14The curse of the Thomases continues, I'm afraid.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17I mean, it really does, cos if you had said two chromosomes on the
0:33:17 > 0:33:21top one, you'd have won the point, because it would have scored you 24,
0:33:21 > 0:33:23I'm afraid.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25There is a very big scorer on the board, that is
0:33:25 > 0:33:29the number that X represents. It represents ten, of course.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31And 78 people said that.
0:33:31 > 0:33:35The sequence used to represent X is dash-dot-dot-dash.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38And if you got that, you just got yourself a pointless answer,
0:33:38 > 0:33:39so very well played.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41Very good indeed. Thank you, Richard.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44So the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:33:44 > 0:33:46our low-scoring pair throughout the show.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48Our Thomases. Our returning family.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51You are almost part of the Pointless family, I'd say.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54It is great news for us, it means we get to see you again next time.
0:33:54 > 0:33:55We look forward to that very much
0:33:55 > 0:33:58and hope very much that you go one step further
0:33:58 > 0:33:59and break the family record.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02But in the meantime, thanks very much for playing.
0:34:02 > 0:34:03Grace and Gareth, wonderful.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05Thank you. Thanks again.
0:34:05 > 0:34:06All the best, guys.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09But for Gareth and David, it is now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15Congratulations, Gareth and David.
0:34:15 > 0:34:16You've seen off all the competition
0:34:16 > 0:34:19and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:34:27 > 0:34:31At the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £2,250.
0:34:31 > 0:34:35APPLAUSE
0:34:35 > 0:34:37Well, that was very exciting.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39And pretty decisive in the head-to-head there.
0:34:39 > 0:34:42You did very well indeed. You've done very well across the show.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44We've thrown all sorts of things at you.
0:34:44 > 0:34:46We had single-word song titles. We've had chapter headings,
0:34:46 > 0:34:48where you had to guess the name of the book.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50We had famous people from Chicago.
0:34:50 > 0:34:51And we had the letter X.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54I mean, is there anything we haven't touched on, I wonder?
0:34:54 > 0:34:57- From the world of knowledge.- Yes. - Anything you'd like to see?
0:34:57 > 0:34:59What if we get onto shaving?
0:34:59 > 0:35:01- Ohh!- What's that?
0:35:01 > 0:35:05- This is the hairiest jackpot round we've ever had.- It is, yeah.
0:35:05 > 0:35:06Officially now.
0:35:06 > 0:35:09Now then, what would you like?
0:35:09 > 0:35:13I mean, I'm guessing music would be good. Rock music.
0:35:13 > 0:35:15But what other topics would you like us to...?
0:35:15 > 0:35:18Comic books, superheroes,
0:35:18 > 0:35:22- movies...- American sports. American geography.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24OK. Well, listen, these are things
0:35:24 > 0:35:26that sometimes feature on these rounds.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29Wouldn't it be brilliant if one of those things was up there for you?
0:35:29 > 0:35:33Let's see what today's choices look like and let's hope there's
0:35:33 > 0:35:35something you like the look of, Gareth and David. We've got...
0:35:35 > 0:35:37Politics, Philosophy and Economics,
0:35:37 > 0:35:39which is pretty much what you asked for(!)
0:35:45 > 0:35:49- Stephen King?- Why not?- Stephen King films.- Stephen King films.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51Stephen King films it is.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53Very best of luck, gents.
0:35:53 > 0:35:56We are looking for any actor credited by IMDb for appearing
0:35:56 > 0:35:59in any of the following three films, please.
0:35:59 > 0:36:03Anyone who appeared in the 1976 film Carrie.
0:36:03 > 0:36:05Anyone who appeared in the 1980 film The Shining.
0:36:05 > 0:36:09Or anyone who appeared in the 1986 film Stand By Me.
0:36:09 > 0:36:13So, any cast member of Carrie, The Shining or Stand By Me.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15- Best of luck. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17You've got up to a minute to come up with three answers.
0:36:17 > 0:36:22All you need to win that jackpot - £2,250, lest we've forgotten -
0:36:22 > 0:36:24is just for one of those answers to be pointless.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26Just one of them. Are you ready?
0:36:26 > 0:36:29- Yes.- Yes.- OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock. There they are.
0:36:29 > 0:36:31Your time starts now.
0:36:32 > 0:36:36- I'm not too sure about Carrie. The Shining...- No.- Scatman Crothers,
0:36:36 > 0:36:41- he played Dick.- Did he? - Yeah, in The Shining. Stand By Me...
0:36:41 > 0:36:44- Kiefer Sutherland. - Jerry O'Connell, who was the father.
0:36:44 > 0:36:48- Right. River Phoenix, obviously. - Kiefer Sutherland.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52It's been so long since I've seen it.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55Obviously, Jack Nicholson.
0:36:55 > 0:36:57- Shelley Duvall.- Shelley Duvall. - Yeah.
0:36:59 > 0:37:04- Kathy Bates is all I know from...Carrie?- No.- That was the car.
0:37:04 > 0:37:06- It wasn't that, it was...- Misery.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10- Carrie... John Travolta, he was in it.- Was he?- Yeah.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13Sissy Spacek was Carrie.
0:37:13 > 0:37:18Um... William Katt was in Carrie.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21- He was the blonde hair... - Right.- Ten seconds left.
0:37:21 > 0:37:24- Scatman Crothers for The Shining. - Jerry O'Connell.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27- Jerry O'Connell for Stand By Me and William Katt...- Go for it.
0:37:27 > 0:37:30- ..for Carrie.- That'll do. - OK, you've got your answers
0:37:30 > 0:37:31by the sounds of things.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33There is your minute up. Let's have those answers,
0:37:33 > 0:37:35and say which film you're answering for.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38OK, Carrie, we'll go for William Katt.
0:37:38 > 0:37:42- William Katt.- Yep. The Shining, Scatman Crothers.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44- Scatman Carruthers.- Crothers, C-R.
0:37:44 > 0:37:47- Crothers. Scatman Crothers. - That's the one.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49Scatman Carruthers, I was at school with him.
0:37:49 > 0:37:53- Stand By Me, we'll go for Jerry O'Connell.- Jerry O'Connell.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56- O'Connell, yeah.- For Stand By Me.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59Now, of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:37:59 > 0:38:01Probably say William Katt.
0:38:01 > 0:38:04OK, William Katt goes last. Least likely to be pointless?
0:38:04 > 0:38:06- Scatman, in case it's not even right?- Yeah.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08OK, Scatman Crothers goes up at the top.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10OK, let's pop those up on the board in that order, then.
0:38:10 > 0:38:12And here they are. We've got...
0:38:17 > 0:38:19Well, best of luck.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22Now, if one of those is pointless and wins that jackpot for you,
0:38:22 > 0:38:25what will you be doing with your prize money?
0:38:25 > 0:38:28I'll give some to Mum and Dad.
0:38:28 > 0:38:32And I'll probably put it towards a new bicycle for road racing.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35- Very good.- For triathlon. - David, how about you?
0:38:35 > 0:38:39I think, probably, I would spend it on going away
0:38:39 > 0:38:41on a wee family holiday.
0:38:41 > 0:38:45I have a wee two-year-old son. So take him away for a trip somewhere.
0:38:45 > 0:38:47- Lovely.- Somewhere warm. - Very nice. Well, best of luck.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50Let's hope one of these answers wins that jackpot for you.
0:38:50 > 0:38:52OK, your first answer was Scatman Crothers.
0:38:52 > 0:38:55In this case, we were looking for cast members of The Shining.
0:38:55 > 0:38:58Let's find out if it's right. Let's find out if it's pointless.
0:38:58 > 0:39:00If it is both of those things, you leave here with £2,250.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02How many people said Scatman Crothers?
0:39:04 > 0:39:05It's right.
0:39:05 > 0:39:07That's a good answer.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09Now all this has to do is go down to zero
0:39:09 > 0:39:11and you will leave here with £2,250. Down it goes.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13Through the teens. We get to single figures?
0:39:13 > 0:39:16Yes, we do. Down it goes. Still going down...
0:39:16 > 0:39:18- 2! AUDIENCE:- Oh!
0:39:18 > 0:39:21APPLAUSE
0:39:21 > 0:39:26- 2 for Scatman Crothers. Oh, that's a good answer.- Yeah.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28- That is a great answer. - He does exist.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31- Irritatingly, not a pointless answer, though.- Yeah.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34Which means you only have two more chances to win today's jackpot.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36Your next answer was Jerry O'Connell.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39In this case, we're looking for cast members of Stay By Me.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42If it's pointless, it will win you £2,250.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44How many people said Jerry O'Connell?
0:39:46 > 0:39:48It's right.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50Your first answer, Scatman Crothers,
0:39:50 > 0:39:52took us all the way down to 2.
0:39:52 > 0:39:54Jerry O'Connell, now taking us down
0:39:54 > 0:39:56through the teens and into single figures.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59Still going down... Will it go pass 2? No!
0:39:59 > 0:40:00It sticks at 2.
0:40:00 > 0:40:04APPLAUSE
0:40:06 > 0:40:10Two excellent answers there. Two really good low scores.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13Now, everything is riding on your third and final answer, William Katt.
0:40:13 > 0:40:16You had no hesitation putting William Katt last.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19So you sort of sensed it was a slightly more obscure answer
0:40:19 > 0:40:21- than the two we've had so far. - Yeah.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23Let's hope that pays off on the column.
0:40:23 > 0:40:26If it is pointless, it will win you £2,250.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28How many people said William Katt?
0:40:28 > 0:40:30How many people named William Katt, I should say,
0:40:30 > 0:40:32as a cast member of Carrie?
0:40:36 > 0:40:39It's right. So, Scatman Crothers took us to 2.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41Jerry O'Connell took us to 2.
0:40:41 > 0:40:43William Katt takes us down through the teens.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45Are we into single figures? Yes, we are.
0:40:45 > 0:40:46Will we pass 2?
0:40:46 > 0:40:48Yes, we will! Yes! You've done it!
0:40:48 > 0:40:51CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:40:51 > 0:40:54- Very, very well done. Brilliant. - Thank you so much. Thanks.
0:40:57 > 0:41:01Fantastic. Congratulations. A very popular win there.
0:41:01 > 0:41:04William Katt was a pointless answer.
0:41:04 > 0:41:07Yes, there is going to be a road racing bike for your triathlon.
0:41:07 > 0:41:09There's going to be a lovely trip for your son.
0:41:09 > 0:41:11Fantastic, you are taking away that jackpot of £2,250.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13Very well done, Gareth and David.
0:41:13 > 0:41:16APPLAUSE
0:41:18 > 0:41:21Very well played. Yeah, William Katt played Tommy Ross,
0:41:21 > 0:41:22Carrie's date in that film.
0:41:22 > 0:41:25It seemed like a nice category for you.
0:41:25 > 0:41:29Can I commend you on turning up with those wonderful beards?
0:41:29 > 0:41:31And also for getting through to this final round
0:41:31 > 0:41:33and ordering your answers properly.
0:41:33 > 0:41:35- That's what we like, isn't it? - Yeah.
0:41:35 > 0:41:38Maximum jeopardy. Low scorer, low scorer, pointless answer.
0:41:38 > 0:41:41It makes it very exciting for people at home. Some people don't do it.
0:41:41 > 0:41:43They put their pointless answer first.
0:41:43 > 0:41:45Also, can I commend you for introducing the world to anyone
0:41:45 > 0:41:47who doesn't know Scatman Crothers?
0:41:47 > 0:41:50- It is such a brilliant name. - LAUGHTER
0:41:50 > 0:41:53Do you know Scatman Crothers' other claim to fame?
0:41:53 > 0:41:54Voice of Hong Kong Phooey.
0:41:54 > 0:41:57He is the voice of Hong Kong Phooey, absolutely he is.
0:41:57 > 0:41:59A multi-talented gentleman, Scatman Crothers.
0:41:59 > 0:42:02Let's take a look at the pointless answers in the different categories.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04We will start with Carrie.
0:42:09 > 0:42:10Every answer, in fact, apart from
0:42:10 > 0:42:12Sissy Spacek, John Travolta and Piper Laurie...
0:42:12 > 0:42:15They were the only ones who scored any points at all in that one.
0:42:15 > 0:42:16The Shining.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23Everyone in that film was pointless other than Jack Nicholson,
0:42:23 > 0:42:28Shelley Duvall, Barry Nelson, Danny Lloyd and Scatman Crothers.
0:42:28 > 0:42:29Of course.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32And our final one is Stand By Me.
0:42:32 > 0:42:34It is one of my favourite films ever, Stand By Me.
0:42:39 > 0:42:41Everyone on that film was pointless other than
0:42:41 > 0:42:43River Phoenix, Wil Wheaton, and surprisingly
0:42:43 > 0:42:46Corey Feldman, Kiefer Sutherland, Jerry O'Connell
0:42:46 > 0:42:49and Richard Dreyfuss. Everybody else was a pointless answer.
0:42:49 > 0:42:51Very well done if you said any of those at home.
0:42:51 > 0:42:53But, gents, thank you so much for entertaining us so mightily.
0:42:53 > 0:42:56Thank you so much for such a brilliant end to the show as well.
0:42:56 > 0:42:58- Congratulations.- Cheers.
0:42:58 > 0:43:01APPLAUSE
0:43:01 > 0:43:05Well, thanks once again to our winning pair, Gareth and David,
0:43:05 > 0:43:08who go away with today's jackpot of £2,250.
0:43:08 > 0:43:12CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
0:43:12 > 0:43:15Join us next time when we'll put more obscure knowledge to the test
0:43:15 > 0:43:18- on Pointless. Meanwhile, it is goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:18 > 0:43:20And it is goodbye from me. Goodbye.
