0:00:22 > 0:00:23Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:26 > 0:00:29the show where we're always striving to find the most obscure answers.
0:00:29 > 0:00:30Let's meet today's players.
0:00:35 > 0:00:39- Couple number one. Hello, I'm Angela.- This is Rich, my husband,
0:00:39 > 0:00:41- and we are from Leicester. - Couple number two?
0:00:41 > 0:00:44Hi, I'm Esme. This is my uncle Richard, he's from Cardiff,
0:00:44 > 0:00:46- and I'm from Portsmouth. - Couple number three?
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Hi, I'm Dave, this is my son Henry,
0:00:48 > 0:00:51I'm from Dufftown in the Highlands and Henry is of no fixed abode.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54And finally, couple number four.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Sasha. This is my brother, Tim, and we're from Hatfield.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00And these are today's contestants.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Thanks very much all of you. A very warm welcome to Pointless,
0:01:04 > 0:01:07we'll find out more about each of you throughout the show as it goes
0:01:07 > 0:01:09along. So that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11He's the complete package,
0:01:11 > 0:01:13in fact, I had to wait three weeks to get him delivered from Amazon.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Hiya.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19Hi, everybody.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25I know, I spent 48 hours in your neighbour's porch.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28- It was awful. - There are worse places to be. - That's true, they're very nice.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31One returning pair from the last show, and they are very strong,
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Tim and Sasha - who got through to the head-to-head.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35We had a pointless answer from Tim as well during the show.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37So they're going to be very tough to beat.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39The team that beat them in the head-to-head
0:01:39 > 0:01:42were Lesley and Stewart, who were very bright and, unsurprisingly,
0:01:42 > 0:01:45it was an absolute cash bonanza, the jackpot last time...
0:01:45 > 0:01:48by which I mean the questions were about Johnny Cash and they lost.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Thanks very much indeed. So Lesley and Stewart didn't win the jackpot
0:01:54 > 0:01:57last time, which means we add another £1,000 to that.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00So today's jackpot starts off at £4,250.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15Now, remember this. The pair with the highest score
0:02:15 > 0:02:18at the end of each round will be eliminated.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20That's it, best of luck to all four pairs,
0:02:20 > 0:02:24our first category this afternoon is Famous People.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27Can you all decide in your pairs who'll go first and second.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36OK, and the question concerns...
0:02:41 > 0:02:45Oh, that's nice. People who share their names with plants, trees, shrubs and flowers.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48- Richard.- On each board we'll show you seven clues to famous people
0:02:48 > 0:02:51who either have a first name or a surname that is the same as a plant,
0:02:51 > 0:02:54tree, shrub or flower, you just need to give us a nice obscure answer,
0:02:54 > 0:02:56please. There's 14 in all if you want have a go at home.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59- Best of luck.- Thanks very much indeed, Richard, so let's reveal
0:02:59 > 0:03:01our first board of clues, here they are. Seven of them.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36I will read all of those one last time.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05- Angela, welcome.- Thank you.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Good to have you here. What you do, Angela?
0:04:07 > 0:04:10I'm a teaching assistant at a small primary school.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13Very good, when you're not teaching, what do you get up to?
0:04:13 > 0:04:16I like darts, I'm a big fan of darts.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18To watch or to play?
0:04:18 > 0:04:22Both. I play if they're short, if the team is short I step in.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24This is Richard's team?
0:04:24 > 0:04:28Yeah, I have a T-shirt that says for emergency use only.
0:04:28 > 0:04:29LAUGHTER
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Very good. What would you like to go for?
0:04:33 > 0:04:35I'll go for
0:04:35 > 0:04:37US actor who played Captain Kirk
0:04:37 > 0:04:39and I'll say William Shatner.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Which bit of that is a plant, tree, shrub or flower, I wonder?
0:04:44 > 0:04:47I'd forgotten that bit.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Sweet William Shatner, there we are.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52OK. Let's see if that's right.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02I'm so sorry, Angela.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04I'm afraid William Shatner is an incorrect answer
0:05:04 > 0:05:05and scores you 100 points.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Often, if you want to impress a young lady or something,
0:05:08 > 0:05:10you'd give her a lovely posy of Shatners.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15There we go. Esme.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18- Hi.- Welcome to Pointless. Good to have you here. What you do, Esme?
0:05:18 > 0:05:20- I'm a history student. - Where are you a history student?
0:05:20 > 0:05:23- I'm at Oxford.- You're at Oxford, and what are your interests, Esme?
0:05:23 > 0:05:26I really enjoy rowing during term time
0:05:26 > 0:05:28but I have to get up at around 5:30am.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30I was going to say, early start!
0:05:30 > 0:05:33But nice to be out on the river at that time of morning.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Yes, it's beautiful, except in wintertime
0:05:35 > 0:05:38you have to break the ice before you can get out onto the river.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Hm... Less fun.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Esme, what are you going to go for on this board?
0:05:42 > 0:05:45There are a few on here that I think I could do,
0:05:45 > 0:05:47I was going to do the US actor,
0:05:47 > 0:05:49I think this is the right one,
0:05:49 > 0:05:51is it Chris Pine?
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Listen, already, that sounds good to me.
0:05:54 > 0:05:55Chris Pine.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Let's see, is it right? How many of our 100 people said Chris Pine?
0:06:02 > 0:06:04It's right. Well done.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Look at that.
0:06:11 > 0:06:127.
0:06:14 > 0:06:167 for Chris Pine.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20Well played, Esme, yes, reprised the role in Star Trek Into Darkness.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Chris Pine, his middle name is Mas.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29That really took me quite a long time to work out.
0:06:31 > 0:06:32Henry, welcome.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35Henry, what is this no-fixed-abode nonsense?
0:06:35 > 0:06:36Where do you lay your hat?
0:06:36 > 0:06:39I've just finished my university in Aberdeen
0:06:39 > 0:06:43and I'm going to be moving to Edinburgh to do the same.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45- What were you studying at Aberdeen? - Music.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49You were studying music there, any particular branch of music?
0:06:49 > 0:06:51- Just popular music.- Popular music.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55Learning about sequencing and recording and song-writing.
0:06:55 > 0:06:56So it's quite technical?
0:06:56 > 0:06:59- As much engineering as much as... - Yeah, yeah.
0:06:59 > 0:07:00What instrument do you play?
0:07:00 > 0:07:04Well, I sing, but I mainly kind of just write songs
0:07:04 > 0:07:08and just find any instrument to accompany my voice.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Very good, well, good luck to you, Henry.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12What would you like to go for on this board?
0:07:12 > 0:07:16Well, I mean, I know a good amount of those,
0:07:16 > 0:07:18but I'm not sure which one is the best one to pick.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21But I think I will go for the British singer
0:07:21 > 0:07:24who released the UK number-one albums,
0:07:24 > 0:07:26that's Lily Allen?
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Lily Allen says Henry, Lily Allen, let's see if that's right,
0:07:28 > 0:07:30let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35It's right.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Well, 7 is our lowest score.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42And you passed it. Look at that, 2 for Lily Allen.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Good work, Henry.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51That's a great answer, Henry, very well done.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Now then, Tim, welcome back.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56- Remind us what you do? - I'm currently a support worker
0:07:56 > 0:07:58for people with learning disabilities.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01And your interests aside from work, what are they?
0:08:01 > 0:08:05I mentioned that I'm a big wrestling fan and also a Chelsea fan.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08Currently volunteer for a charity as well.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12There we go. Tim, take us through the board.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14I believe the top one is Stan Laurel.
0:08:16 > 0:08:17I don't know the author
0:08:17 > 0:08:20or the CEO of Marks & Spencer.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23The co-host of This Morning is Holly Willoughby
0:08:23 > 0:08:26and I'm guessing the bottom one is Rowan Atkinson.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28But I'm going to go with the top one and say Stan Laurel.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30OK, Stan Laurel says Tim,
0:08:30 > 0:08:32let's see how many of our 100 people said Stan Laurel.
0:08:40 > 0:08:4154 for Stan Laurel.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45Quite a high score there, as you'd expect.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Yeah. You'd have been better going with the bottom one,
0:08:48 > 0:08:50which you did know - it's Rowan Atkinson.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53That would have scored you 29 points,
0:08:53 > 0:08:56it would have been a very nice answer.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58The author is?
0:08:58 > 0:09:01- Daphne du Maurier. - Daphne du Maurier.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04- Daphne being an evergreen shrub. - Indeed.
0:09:04 > 0:09:05She would have scored you 35 points.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07The CEO of Marks & Spencer.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09Stewart Rose.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12That would've scored you 9. Again, co-hosting This Morning?
0:09:12 > 0:09:14- Holly Willoughby. - The lovely Holly Willoughby.
0:09:14 > 0:09:15She would have scored you 13.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18The best answer on the board, Henry, Lily Allen, well played.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22Thanks very much. We're halfway through the round, let's look at those scores. 2, Henry, well done.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Henry and Dave looking pretty good at this point.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27Up to 7 where we find Esme and Richard.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Up to 54, Tim and Sasha and then,
0:09:29 > 0:09:32I'm sorry, Angela and Rich, the Shatners
0:09:32 > 0:09:36didn't bloom for you, did they, Angela, I'm afraid?
0:09:36 > 0:09:38So, Rich, we need a low score from you on the next pass
0:09:38 > 0:09:41and we'll hope that's good enough to keep you in the game.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44We'll come back down the line. Would the second players please step up to the podium.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50OK, let's put seven more clues on the board. Here they are.
0:10:19 > 0:10:20I'll read all those again.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49There we are. Sasha, welcome back.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51- Hello.- Good to have you here again from Hatfield.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53- Thank you.- Remind us what you do?
0:10:53 > 0:10:56I'm a drama and performance student in Worcester.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59Do you think you'll go on into acting on the back of that?
0:10:59 > 0:11:01No, I want to do theatre and education.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04- That's good.- Yes, so it's just an interactive way of learning for kids
0:11:04 > 0:11:07- and things like that.- Really good fun. We've had quite a few people
0:11:07 > 0:11:10on the show who work in museums and things like that, who do that kind of thing.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13That's one of my modules, I get to perform in a museum and things, so.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16What would like to go for on this board?
0:11:16 > 0:11:19There's probably one that I should know, which is the Birmingham one,
0:11:19 > 0:11:23but I want to go for the Australian rapper and say Iggy Azalea.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Iggy Azalea...
0:11:25 > 0:11:27says Sasha.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Here's your red line, get below that and you're through to the next round.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41Very well done, Iggy Azalea doing you all kinds of good.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Look at that! Down to 1.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46Well done, Sasha, that's what you needed, takes your total up to 55.
0:11:46 > 0:11:51- You're into Round Two.- Yes, that's a terrific answer, well played.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Her real name is Amethyst Kelly.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56Thank you very much indeed. Now, Dave, welcome to Pointless.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59- Good to have you here, what do you do?- I'm a gardener at the...
0:11:59 > 0:12:02Stop right there. What about that?
0:12:02 > 0:12:04You are in the garden right now.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08- You would think, wouldn't you? - OK, continue.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11- Where are you a gardener?- I'm a gardener at the whisky distillery
0:12:11 > 0:12:14- that makes the world... - Stop right there.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17A gardener in a whisky distillery?
0:12:17 > 0:12:20- Yes.- It's like he threw two sixes!
0:12:20 > 0:12:21I know, just extraordinary.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25Tell me what your duties are at the distillery?
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Well, duties include the formal gardens
0:12:27 > 0:12:30close to the distillery and visitor centre,
0:12:30 > 0:12:32but there is also lots of farmlands,
0:12:32 > 0:12:34where we do fencing and things like that.
0:12:34 > 0:12:35And obviously to, erm...
0:12:37 > 0:12:40- Not at all.- Really?- We take health and safety very seriously.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Do they pay you in, do you get...? I mean, surely?
0:12:43 > 0:12:47A certain amount of whisky is part of the package, yes.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50There we go. What are you going to go for, Dave?
0:12:50 > 0:12:53Well, I'm really stuck on this board.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56The other board was much better for me, but I'm going to go for
0:12:56 > 0:13:00the Velvet Underground front man who I believe was Lou Reed.
0:13:00 > 0:13:01Lou Reed says Dave.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04You want to score 97 or less, there's your red line.
0:13:04 > 0:13:05Let's see how you do.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14Well done. Good answer.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16Look at that.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Takes your total up to 19.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22Well played, Dave, produced by David Bowie, that track.
0:13:22 > 0:13:26There we are. Thank you very much indeed. Now, Richard, welcome.
0:13:26 > 0:13:27Good to have you from Cardiff.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29- That's right. - And what you do, Richard?
0:13:29 > 0:13:33After doing quite a number of different jobs I've ended up
0:13:33 > 0:13:35teaching English as a second language.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37For the time being, anyway.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40You teach that in Wales, or to...?
0:13:40 > 0:13:42- Not to Welsh people. - No, I was just...
0:13:42 > 0:13:46- Erm, yes.- Mostly it's the children at about primary school age
0:13:46 > 0:13:50about to go into secondary school, as support for their language skills
0:13:50 > 0:13:53when they go into secondary schools and in the classroom.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56Very good, lovely low score from Esme,
0:13:56 > 0:13:59you should get through without too much effort.
0:13:59 > 0:14:0192 or less is your target.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03- What would you like to go for? - I think,
0:14:03 > 0:14:07since people aren't usually too great at politics,
0:14:07 > 0:14:11I'll go for the former Labour MP for Salford, Hazel Blears.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14Hazel Blears says Richard,
0:14:14 > 0:14:16here is your red line.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Now, then. If you can get below that with Hazel Blears,
0:14:19 > 0:14:22you're through to the next round. Let's see how many people said it.
0:14:24 > 0:14:29It's right. Now, as you said, people aren't brilliant at politics.
0:14:31 > 0:14:344. Nice low score, very well done indeed.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36Taking your total up to 11.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39The lowest total of the round. Very well done indeed.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41Great answer, Richard, very well played.
0:14:41 > 0:14:42Good answering in this round.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45She actually retired as an MP in 2015 and now works at the Co-op.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52- As a director.- But still, she works at the Co-op.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54Thank you, Richard.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Rich, great to have you here.
0:14:56 > 0:14:57Rich, what do you do?
0:14:57 > 0:15:01I've got a small trophy supply and engraving business.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04For your darts team, that's just a dream come true, isn't it?
0:15:04 > 0:15:06I run the local darts league as well.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08I recently got into bowls.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10How did the engraving start?
0:15:10 > 0:15:14Basically, because I run the darts league, my supplier was selling up,
0:15:14 > 0:15:17so I bought the machinery off him and started up.
0:15:17 > 0:15:18Good, now, Rich, I'm sorry to say
0:15:18 > 0:15:20there will be no trophy for you today,
0:15:20 > 0:15:24but, however, next time, when you come back, I'm sure there will.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26What would we like to go for on this board?
0:15:26 > 0:15:30Feel free to talk us through if you feel up to that.
0:15:30 > 0:15:31The Birmingham born actor is Ian Lavender.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36The driver is Stirling Moss.
0:15:36 > 0:15:42I'm going to go with the Sherlock Holmes actor and Basil Rathbone.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44Basil Rathbone says Rich.
0:15:44 > 0:15:45No red line for you,
0:15:45 > 0:15:48let's see how far down the column you get with Basil Rathbone.
0:15:57 > 0:15:5822 for Basil Rathbone,
0:15:58 > 0:16:01taking your total up to 122.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07Very nicely done, Richard. Good board.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09That British Formula 1 driver,
0:16:09 > 0:16:11as soon as the board comes up I always look down and see
0:16:11 > 0:16:14and I thought, yeah, Mike Hawthorne, fine,
0:16:14 > 0:16:16and, of course, it was Stirling Moss.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18I hope someone at home made that mistake and it's not just me.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Now, the actress is Leslie Ash.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26That would have scored you 8 and you're right about Ian Lavender,
0:16:26 > 0:16:29he would have scored you 37.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31There we are. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:16:31 > 0:16:32At the end of our first round,
0:16:32 > 0:16:35we are sending home, with a high score of 122,
0:16:35 > 0:16:36Rich and Angela, I'm afraid it's you.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39You'd just forgotten that crucial thing.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41The important bit.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43So, you won't make that mistake next time.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45- No.- And on the back of that, who knows where you'll stop?
0:16:45 > 0:16:47Maybe through to the final. In the meantime,
0:16:47 > 0:16:49it's been lovely having you on,
0:16:49 > 0:16:51- thanks for playing. Rich and Angela.- Thank you.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56But, for the remaining three pairs it's now time for Round Two.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05Well, this is Round Two, you've already seen off one of our pairs,
0:17:05 > 0:17:08another pair will be leaving at the end of this round.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Best of luck, all three pairs, our category for Round Two today is...
0:17:12 > 0:17:16Cinema. Can you all decide in your pairs who is going to go first
0:17:16 > 0:17:20and second, and whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26OK. And the question concerns...
0:17:26 > 0:17:28"The" Film Titles.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33- Richard.- In a moment, Xander will show you the names of four actors.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35We're looking for any feature film made for release
0:17:35 > 0:17:38up to the end of June 2015, in which any of these actors starred,
0:17:38 > 0:17:40which has the word "The" in the title, please.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:17:42 > 0:17:43OK, as Richard mentioned,
0:17:43 > 0:17:46we're going to put the names of four actors up on the board,
0:17:46 > 0:17:48they're going to stay there the whole way through the round.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50Good luck. Here they are.
0:17:50 > 0:17:51We've got...
0:17:59 > 0:18:01There we are.
0:18:01 > 0:18:02- Esme.- OK.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06Well, my mind went absolutely blank, so... But I think,
0:18:06 > 0:18:08it's one that I think will be OK,
0:18:08 > 0:18:10I don't know if it will be low scoring,
0:18:10 > 0:18:12but hopefully it's not wrong.
0:18:12 > 0:18:17I'm going to go for Dustin Hoffman and Meet The Fockers.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21Meet, helpfully, "The" Fockers, let's see if it's right.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24Let's see how many of our 100 people said Meet The Fockers.
0:18:27 > 0:18:28It's right.
0:18:34 > 0:18:375. 5 for Meet The Fockers.
0:18:38 > 0:18:44- Very well done.- Well played, Esme, he plays Ben Stiller's dad in that.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47Excellent. Thank you, Richard.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Dave.
0:18:49 > 0:18:50This is just dreadful.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55I'm going to have to go for... I think this is going to be wrong,
0:18:55 > 0:18:58Dustin Hoffman, Meet The Fockers Two.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02Sorry, Henry.
0:19:05 > 0:19:06Meet The Fockers Two.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12- Working title.- Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19No. I'm afraid Meet The Fockers Two is an incorrect answer
0:19:19 > 0:19:22and scores you 100 points. Dave, I'm sorry.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Yes, Meet The Fockers was already a sequel, I'm afraid.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27- Sadly.- There we are.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31- Sasha.- Hello!- Any film starring one of these four people.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35I'm going to take a risk and say, The Others.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37The Others.
0:19:37 > 0:19:38Let's see if The Others is right.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46It is right.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48Well, 5 is our low score at this point.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52The Others takes you to 13.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Yeah, it was a Nicole Kidman horror film, The Others.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02Let's take a look at the scores.
0:20:02 > 0:20:045, the best score of that pass.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Esme and Richard, particularly good.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Then, up to 13. Ditto, Sasha and Tim.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11Then up to 100. I'm sorry, it's Henry and Dave.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15We're going to come back down the line. Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:20:17 > 0:20:21So we're looking for any film starring any of these actors with
0:20:21 > 0:20:22the word "The" in its title.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24Now then, Tim.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27I'm going to go with The Green Mile.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30The Green Mile, says Tim. Sounds good to me. Here is your red line.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Get below this red line - nice and high -
0:20:32 > 0:20:35you are through to the next round.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37The Green Mile, how many people said it?
0:20:40 > 0:20:42Very well done.
0:20:46 > 0:20:4814 for The Green Mile.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Good answer. 27 is your total.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55Sailing through again, Tim and Sasha.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59Very impressive. From 1999, based on a Stephen King novel.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02Thanks very much, Richard. Now, Henry. Good luck.
0:21:02 > 0:21:07- Yeah.- I mean, listen, if you can score less than 5,
0:21:07 > 0:21:10there is at least a scenario in which you could go through.
0:21:10 > 0:21:11I have a good answer
0:21:11 > 0:21:14but I don't know how good it's possibly going to be.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17I'm going to say The Terminal.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19The Terminal, says Henry.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22No red line, obviously, as you're the high scorers.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25Let's see how many people said The Terminal.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34Look at that!
0:21:36 > 0:21:38It's exactly what you needed.
0:21:38 > 0:21:414! Taking your total up to 104.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44It needn't necessarily be "terminal" for you at this point.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48The Tom Hanks film where he got stranded in an airport terminal.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50There we are. Now, Richard.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53Essentially, what we need from you is a correct answer.
0:21:53 > 0:21:5498 or less.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58I think Meryl Streep is in The Bridges Of Madison County.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01The Bridges of Madison County, says Richard.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05Here is your red line. Get below that red line there with
0:22:05 > 0:22:10The Bridges of Madison County, you're into the head-to-head.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12It's right. And you are through.
0:22:17 > 0:22:18Good answer. Another 4.
0:22:20 > 0:22:21Taking your total up to 9.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24The lowest total of the round for the second time.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26Great answering all round, today.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30Another very good answer. Let's take a look at some pointless answers.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32Well done if you said any of these.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34Meryl Streep is in A Cry In The Dark.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Tom Hanks is in Elvis Has Left The Building.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39Margot At The Wedding, which is Nicole Kidman.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Dustin Hoffman in Perfume: The Story Of A Murderer.
0:22:42 > 0:22:43A couple more Meryl Streep films.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47Still Of The Night. The animated film, The Ant Bully.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Two more Meryls here. The House Of The Spirits,
0:22:49 > 0:22:51The Seduction of Joe Tynan.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53The Tiger Makes Out, that's Dustin Hoffman.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56The highest scorer for Meryl Streep was The Devil Wears Prada.
0:22:56 > 0:22:57Would have scored you 14 points.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Dustin Hoffman's biggest ones were The Graduate.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02Would have scored you 28. Nicole Kidman, The Others,
0:23:02 > 0:23:05was, in fact, the highest scorer for Nicole Kidman. 13 points.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08Tom Hanks, The Green Mile, was the highest scorer there.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11The Money Pit, 7, The Da Vinci Code, 6, and The Lady Killers, 6.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14So, very low scorers from our 100 people
0:23:14 > 0:23:17cos they're naming an awful lot of films in this round.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19Thanks very much. So, at the end of our second round,
0:23:19 > 0:23:21the pair we're saying goodbye to, with a high score of 104,
0:23:21 > 0:23:24it's Henry and Dave. We'll see you next time, Henry and Dave.
0:23:24 > 0:23:29We'll look forward to that very much indeed. In the meantime, thanks very much.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35But for our remaining two pairs, it's now time for the head-to-head.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Very well done, Esme and Richard,
0:23:41 > 0:23:44Tim and Sasha, you're now one step closer to the final,
0:23:44 > 0:23:46and a chance to play for that jackpot,
0:23:46 > 0:23:49which currently stands at £4,250.
0:23:54 > 0:23:55Well, you know the deal.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57From here on, you can start playing as teams.
0:23:57 > 0:24:01The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09Here is your first question.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12And it concerns...
0:24:14 > 0:24:16Michael Jackson songs, Richard.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18We're going to give you five visual clues now to the titles of
0:24:18 > 0:24:20Michael Jackson UK top-20 singles.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22Can you tell us what they are, please?
0:24:22 > 0:24:24OK, let's reveal our five visual clues.
0:24:24 > 0:24:25And here they come...
0:24:47 > 0:24:49There we are.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51Five visual clues to Michael Jackson songs.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55Esme and Richard, you'll go first.
0:24:58 > 0:24:59B is Ben.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04We're going to go for Ben, B.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07- Ben.- B, Ben, say Esme and Richard.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10Ben. Tim and Sasha, talk us through the board.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13We think that A was a song
0:25:13 > 0:25:16that he did for a film, Space Jam.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19We think it might be Jam, but we don't know if it's Jam or Space Jam,
0:25:19 > 0:25:21so we're a bit confused about that one.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23- E.- The Man in the Mirror.- And D,
0:25:23 > 0:25:28I think it's the song he did with his sister, Scream.
0:25:28 > 0:25:29So...D?
0:25:29 > 0:25:30D, Scream.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33I think the clue is really obvious. OK, yeah, go.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35OK. D, Scream.
0:25:35 > 0:25:36So we have Ben and we have Scream.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39Esme and Richard went for Ben, let's see that's right for B.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43Let's see how many of our 100 agree with them.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45It's right.
0:25:49 > 0:25:5135.
0:25:53 > 0:25:5535 for Ben.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Now, Tim and Sasha have gone for Scream for D,
0:25:57 > 0:25:59let's see if that's right,
0:25:59 > 0:26:01let's see how many people said Scream.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07Scream is right.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12Look, it wins it for you. There we are, 31 for Scream.
0:26:14 > 0:26:18Well done, Tim and Sasha, after one question you're up 1-0.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20Two good answers, though.
0:26:20 > 0:26:21A is just Jam,
0:26:21 > 0:26:25would have been a better answer and scored you 10 points.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27C is the best answer on the board.
0:26:27 > 0:26:33It is Hold My Hand and would have scored you 2 points.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36And E, of course, is Man In The Mirror.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39That's the biggest scorer with 46.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41There we are, here comes your second question now,
0:26:41 > 0:26:44Esme and Richard, you have to win this one to stay in the game,
0:26:44 > 0:26:46so very best of luck.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48Tim and Sasha will get to answer it first.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51Our second question today is all about...
0:26:54 > 0:26:58- Richard.- We will give you the set-ups to five jokes about fruits and vegetables
0:26:58 > 0:27:01and we'll then give you a punchline, but just alternate letters.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04Can you fill in the gaps and tell us the punchline to these jokes?
0:27:04 > 0:27:06Brilliant, OK, let's reveal our jokes.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09And here they are.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33I'll read those again.
0:27:40 > 0:27:41Tim and Sasha will go first.
0:27:43 > 0:27:47THEY WHISPER
0:27:56 > 0:27:59We'll go for the third one and say a tickled onion.
0:27:59 > 0:28:03A tickled onion, is that because you think it's the low score
0:28:03 > 0:28:06- or is that your favourite joke? - I really enjoy it.
0:28:06 > 0:28:07LAUGHTER
0:28:07 > 0:28:09Tickled onion, say Tim and Sasha.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12Now, Esme and Richard, talk us through the board.
0:28:12 > 0:28:17OK, well. It's now trying to guess which ones will be low scoring
0:28:17 > 0:28:20because you have got a Brussels Scout,
0:28:20 > 0:28:24runner bean, Elvis Parsley and squash.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27I'm thinking Brussels Scout might be a good one to do.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30I don't know. OK, we'll go for a Brussels Scout.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32We have a tickled onion and we have Brussels Scout.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34Tim and Sasha went for a tickled onion.
0:28:34 > 0:28:38Let's see of that's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:28:39 > 0:28:40It is right.
0:28:43 > 0:28:4448.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50Esme and Richard have gone for a Brussels Scout,
0:28:50 > 0:28:52let's see if that's right.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55Let's see how many people have said a Brussels Scout.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01Well done.
0:29:01 > 0:29:02Back in the game.
0:29:05 > 0:29:06After two questions, it's 1-1.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10That is actually the lowest answer on the whole board,
0:29:10 > 0:29:11so very well worked out.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14Hard sometimes to work out
0:29:14 > 0:29:16what's going to be the lowest scorer.
0:29:30 > 0:29:32There we are, thank you very much.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34So, it all comes down to question three,
0:29:34 > 0:29:37whoever wins this one goes through to the final and plays for that jackpot.
0:29:37 > 0:29:38So, best of luck to both pairs.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41Our third question today... is about Coventry.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46- Richard.- Simply five clues to facts about the city of Coventry,
0:29:46 > 0:29:48can you give us the most obscure answer?
0:29:48 > 0:29:49OK, let's reveal our five clues.
0:29:49 > 0:29:51And here they come...
0:30:13 > 0:30:15I'll read those all one last time.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39Now, Esme and Richard, you will go first.
0:30:41 > 0:30:42No, you can talk.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46It's been put on my back, this one...
0:30:46 > 0:30:49It's hard to say...
0:30:49 > 0:30:51Pick an obscure one.
0:30:51 > 0:30:54I mean, they're all obscure to me.
0:30:56 > 0:31:00I think The Whitsun Weddings is John Betjeman.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02John Betjeman, The Whitsun Weddings.
0:31:02 > 0:31:05Tim and Sasha. Talk us through the board.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07The top one is Lady Godiva.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11The others we are really unsure of.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14Shall we go for the bottom one?
0:31:14 > 0:31:16We're going to take a punt on the Russian city and say St Petersburg.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18- St Petersburg?- Yeah.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20OK, St Petersburg, you are saying.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23So, we have Esme and Richard with John Betjeman
0:31:23 > 0:31:24and we have St Petersburg.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27Esme and Richard, John Betjeman, The Whitsun Weddings,
0:31:27 > 0:31:28let's see about that.
0:31:32 > 0:31:33Oh.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37You had an open goal there, Tim and Sasha.
0:31:38 > 0:31:42All you had to be was right with St Petersburg, let's see if you are.
0:31:45 > 0:31:46No.
0:31:49 > 0:31:53Two incorrect answers, which means, after three questions, it's 1-1.
0:31:53 > 0:31:57Yeah, Lady Godiva would have won you the points, seen you into the final.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00The city is Stalingrad, now known as Volgograd.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03That would have scored you 4 points.
0:32:03 > 0:32:04And the poet...
0:32:04 > 0:32:06- Is, em, Philip Larkin. - Philip Larkin, yep.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09He would have scored you 9 points.
0:32:09 > 0:32:13Now, Lady Godiva would have scored you 75.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16And the thriller writer? Lee Child was the answer.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19He would have scored you...20 points.
0:32:19 > 0:32:23- And it was Stock, Aitken and...? - Waterman, Pete Waterman.- Yeah.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25And he would have scored you 44.
0:32:25 > 0:32:27There we are.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29Here comes your fourth question,
0:32:29 > 0:32:31whoever wins this one goes through to the final
0:32:31 > 0:32:33and plays for the jackpot. Best of luck to both pairs.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35It is all
0:32:35 > 0:32:37about...
0:32:37 > 0:32:40- Oh, no.- Westlife, Richard.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42We're going to show you five clues now to facts about Westlife.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45Whichever team gives us the most obscure answer is going through to
0:32:45 > 0:32:47- play for the jackpot. - Thanks very much.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49OK, let's reveal our five clues and here they come.
0:33:02 > 0:33:04I'll read those again.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19Tim and Sasha go first.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22THEY WHISPER
0:33:32 > 0:33:34OK, the Billy Joel one, Uptown Girl?
0:33:34 > 0:33:37Uptown Girl, say Tim and Sasha.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40Now then, Esme and Richard, talk us through that board.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43I know the X Factor judge,
0:33:43 > 0:33:46that's Louis Walsh, and I think Brian McFadden
0:33:46 > 0:33:49might be the member who married Kerry Katona but I'm not sure.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51If Brian McFadden is in Westlife, then that's him.
0:33:51 > 0:33:55I imagine Louis Walsh will be fairly high-scoring.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58So, I don't even know.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00- You say his name. - Is it Brian McFadden?
0:34:00 > 0:34:03Brian McFadden, say Esme and Richard.
0:34:03 > 0:34:04Uptown Girl and Brian McFadden.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07Tim and Sasha say Uptown Girl, let's see if that's right,
0:34:07 > 0:34:09let's see how many people said it.
0:34:15 > 0:34:1645 for Uptown Girl.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21Esme and Richard have gone for Brian McFadden,
0:34:21 > 0:34:26let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said Brian McFadden.
0:34:26 > 0:34:27It's right.
0:34:30 > 0:34:34And it wins you the point, well done, 42.
0:34:34 > 0:34:3642, well done,
0:34:36 > 0:34:38after four questions, Esme and Richard,
0:34:38 > 0:34:40you are through to the final 2-1.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43That was a close head-to-head all the way through and you took a risk
0:34:43 > 0:34:46and it paid off because Louis Walsh would have scored you too many points.
0:34:46 > 0:34:51He was right, but would have scored you 62.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54The member who won I'm A Celebrity was Kian Egan, would have scored 27.
0:34:54 > 0:34:58The best answer on the board, their first UK number-one single
0:34:58 > 0:35:00was Swear It Again,
0:35:00 > 0:35:02that would have scored 4.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04There we are, thanks very much, Richard.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07So the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round, I'm so sorry,
0:35:07 > 0:35:10Tim and Sasha. Oh, it could have been you going through there.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12SHE SIGHS
0:35:12 > 0:35:15You've been very good throughout both shows you've been on,
0:35:15 > 0:35:17I'm sorry this is where we have to say goodbye to you,
0:35:17 > 0:35:21but it's been great having you on the show, thank you so much. Tim and Sasha.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26But for Esme and Richard it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32Congratulations, Esme and Richard,
0:35:32 > 0:35:36you've seen off all the competition and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot, and at the end of today's show...
0:35:46 > 0:35:48the jackpot is standing at...
0:35:55 > 0:35:59Well, your first two rounds were incredibly impressive but it was hard won,
0:35:59 > 0:36:01that head-to-head was a toughie.
0:36:01 > 0:36:04Let's see what today's selection looks like and hope that there's
0:36:04 > 0:36:06something you don't mind up there.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18Well, I've never really watched any TV soaps,
0:36:18 > 0:36:19there is politics up there,
0:36:19 > 0:36:23there is sport up there and I don't know too many singers called Billy,
0:36:23 > 0:36:25so I think this is all in your court, really.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29Well, throwing in the Olympics is not something that really springs to
0:36:29 > 0:36:33mind, but let's risk that one.
0:36:33 > 0:36:37- OK.- You know a lot about these German shot-putters(!)- Oh, no! OK.
0:36:37 > 0:36:40- Yeah.- OK, Olympic throwing events it is. Richard...
0:36:40 > 0:36:43Best of luck, we are looking for anyone who has ever won a gold medal
0:36:43 > 0:36:45in any of the following events, please,
0:36:45 > 0:36:48any man or woman who has won gold in the...
0:36:55 > 0:36:57Any Olympics from 1896 to 2012.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00Any gold medal winner in any of those events, please,
0:37:00 > 0:37:01very best of luck.
0:37:01 > 0:37:05OK, as always, you've got one minute to come up with three answers and
0:37:05 > 0:37:06all you need to win that jackpot
0:37:06 > 0:37:09is for just one of those answers to be pointless. Are you ready?
0:37:09 > 0:37:12- Yep.- OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15There they are. Your time starts now.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17I don't know. I studied the javelin
0:37:17 > 0:37:20and I know the women's javelin throwing
0:37:20 > 0:37:24and I know them through the first ones in the '30s,
0:37:24 > 0:37:26it was Tilly Fleischer,
0:37:26 > 0:37:29a German,
0:37:29 > 0:37:31Babe Didrikson won the first one back in 1932.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34OK. I'm of no use to you right now.
0:37:34 > 0:37:38Hermine Bauma is an Austrian athlete who won one.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42So, which ones do you think are going to be pointless?
0:37:42 > 0:37:46I think the early ones because... Inese Jaunzeme is a Russian.
0:37:46 > 0:37:47I don't know any of these.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49No, you're not going to know them.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52Do you want your full minute? We can stop the clock if you like?
0:37:52 > 0:37:55Hang on, let's think... There's Elvira Ozolina.
0:37:55 > 0:37:57There's erm... Mihaela Penes...
0:37:58 > 0:38:00This should just be you here behind the podium.
0:38:00 > 0:38:03- I'll stand over here.- OK, we'll go.
0:38:03 > 0:38:05You're happy, we'll stop the clock there.
0:38:05 > 0:38:06Let's have your three answers.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08And if you could say which of the disciplines.
0:38:08 > 0:38:11- They're all javelin throwers and all female.- OK.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14- Hermine Bauma. - Hermine Bauma.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19- Inese Jaunzeme. - Inese Jaunzeme.
0:38:19 > 0:38:23- And Mihaela Penes. - And Mihaela Penes.
0:38:24 > 0:38:28Of those three, because a couple of those are a little bit obvious...
0:38:28 > 0:38:29LAUGHTER
0:38:30 > 0:38:32..which would you like to put last?
0:38:32 > 0:38:35Which do you think would be your best shot at a pointless answer.
0:38:35 > 0:38:36Hermine Bauma.
0:38:36 > 0:38:39Least likely to be pointless?
0:38:39 > 0:38:42Mihaela Penes was the most recent.
0:38:42 > 0:38:46Mihaela Penes, we've all heard of her(!) We'll put her first.
0:38:46 > 0:38:48OK, well, let's put those up on the board in that order,
0:38:48 > 0:38:51and here they are. Well...
0:38:56 > 0:38:58There are your three answers.
0:38:58 > 0:39:00Well, very best of luck.
0:39:00 > 0:39:04Three... I mean, if these aren't pointless, I will be very, very surprised.
0:39:04 > 0:39:06But who knows? They might not be,
0:39:06 > 0:39:10we might have someone who knows their Olympic throwing events incredibly well.
0:39:10 > 0:39:12I mean, nearly as well as you.
0:39:12 > 0:39:15Let's just imagine one of these might be pointless
0:39:15 > 0:39:18and wins you that jackpot of £4,250, what would you do with it?
0:39:18 > 0:39:20Esme, to you first.
0:39:20 > 0:39:24I'm going on holiday to Vietnam in a few months and I don't think I
0:39:24 > 0:39:27have the money to pay for it, so this would be excellent.
0:39:27 > 0:39:28That is the life of a student.
0:39:28 > 0:39:32- Richard, how about you?- I think the house needs some new windows.
0:39:32 > 0:39:35- They are a bit dirty now. - You know you can clean them?
0:39:35 > 0:39:36LAUGHTER
0:39:36 > 0:39:39- I know, the upper ones are a bit high, though.- OK, very good.
0:39:39 > 0:39:41Well, best of luck. As I say,
0:39:41 > 0:39:44all three of your answers are javelin gold medal winners,
0:39:44 > 0:39:48your first answer was Mihaela Penes.
0:39:48 > 0:39:52If this is right, if it is pointless, it will win you £4,250.
0:39:52 > 0:39:55Let's see how many people said Mihaela Penes.
0:39:57 > 0:39:59It is right.
0:39:59 > 0:40:02Now all it has to do is go down to 0
0:40:02 > 0:40:05and, if it does that, you will leave here with £4,250.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08Down it goes, down into single figures. Down it goes.
0:40:08 > 0:40:09Still going down.
0:40:10 > 0:40:12You have done it!
0:40:14 > 0:40:16Fantastic.
0:40:16 > 0:40:17There we go. Well done.
0:40:19 > 0:40:21You did that!
0:40:25 > 0:40:30I've never had less doubt in my mind that something was going to be pointless.
0:40:30 > 0:40:33There we are, Mihaela Penes was a pointless answer,
0:40:33 > 0:40:35which means you go home with our jackpot of £4,250.
0:40:37 > 0:40:38The windows will be replaced!
0:40:38 > 0:40:40The holiday will be paid for!
0:40:41 > 0:40:44Very, very well done indeed.
0:40:44 > 0:40:49Now, there is a guy who knows his female Olympic javelin gold medallists.
0:40:49 > 0:40:51I will set you a little quiz now, Richard.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53Penes, nationality?
0:40:53 > 0:40:56- Romanian.- Romanian, and won her gold medal...?
0:40:56 > 0:40:57- '64.- In?
0:40:58 > 0:41:00- Tokyo.- Correct, all correct.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02Well done.
0:41:02 > 0:41:03APPLAUSE
0:41:06 > 0:41:08Jaunzeme, nationality?
0:41:08 > 0:41:12Well, she represented the Soviet Union, I think she was Latvian.
0:41:12 > 0:41:13Correct.
0:41:13 > 0:41:14LAUGHTER
0:41:14 > 0:41:16And the Olympics?
0:41:16 > 0:41:18It was '56 in Melbourne.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20Correct.
0:41:25 > 0:41:28It goes without saying - that was a pointless answer as well.
0:41:28 > 0:41:29And Bauma is...?
0:41:29 > 0:41:32- Austrian.- And she won her gold...?
0:41:32 > 0:41:34In London in 1948.
0:41:34 > 0:41:36Correct answer. Very well done.
0:41:39 > 0:41:43Now, let's take a look at the other pointless answers in the other categories.
0:41:43 > 0:41:45I wonder if anyone did as well as that?
0:41:45 > 0:41:46I kind of doubt it.
0:41:48 > 0:41:50Jurgen Schult who won in '88.
0:41:50 > 0:41:54Robert Harting won in 2012, Sandra Perkovic there, won it in 2012,
0:41:54 > 0:41:58the Croatian. And Stephanie Brown Trafton won in 2008.
0:41:58 > 0:42:01In fact, the only ones who scored any points at all
0:42:01 > 0:42:02were Hellmann, Garrett, Al Oerter, Alekna.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05They are the only people who scored any points at all.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07Here are the javelin gold medal winners.
0:42:07 > 0:42:112004 and 2008, Andreas Thorkildsen.
0:42:11 > 0:42:14Barbora Spotakova of the Czech Republic won twice.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16Petra Felke, who very famously beat Fatima Whitbread,
0:42:16 > 0:42:17she is a pointless answer.
0:42:17 > 0:42:20And the East German Ruth Fuchs also a pointless answer,
0:42:20 > 0:42:24well done if you said that. Let's take a look at the shot put.
0:42:29 > 0:42:31..And Valerie Adams, the New Zealander.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33So, very well done if you got any of those.
0:42:33 > 0:42:35Very well done if you got three pointless answers as well,
0:42:35 > 0:42:38I don't imagine there are too many people who did,
0:42:38 > 0:42:39but we've got one right here.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42I just have to say, very, very well played, Esme.
0:42:42 > 0:42:45- LAUGHTER - Thanks. It was all me.
0:42:45 > 0:42:48Thanks once again to our winning players, Esme and Richard,
0:42:48 > 0:42:50who go away with today's jackpot of...
0:42:55 > 0:42:59Join us next time, when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless,
0:42:59 > 0:43:01meanwhile it's goodbye from Richard...
0:43:01 > 0:43:04- Goodbye.- ..and it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
