0:00:16 > 0:00:20CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong.
0:00:26 > 0:00:29Welcome to Pointless, the show where all the questions have been asked
0:00:29 > 0:00:30to 100 people before the show.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33All our contestants have to do is come up with the answers
0:00:33 > 0:00:35no-one else can think of. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38APPLAUSE
0:00:38 > 0:00:42Couple number one. Hello, I'm Christine,
0:00:42 > 0:00:44this is my friend and colleague, Pauline,
0:00:44 > 0:00:46and we're from the island of Arran.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Couple number two. Hi, I'm Katy, this is Neil,
0:00:48 > 0:00:50and we're friends from St Andrews.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Couple number three. I'm Ricky, this is my friend, Craig.
0:00:53 > 0:00:54We're both from London.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56And, finally, couple number four.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Ramsey, this is my friend, Kevin,
0:00:58 > 0:00:59and we're from Leamington Spa.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01These are today's contestants.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03APPLAUSE
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Thanks very much, all of you. A warm welcome to Pointless.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09We'll find out more each of you throughout the show
0:01:09 > 0:01:12as it goes along. That just leaves one more person to introduce.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15A man whose compliments couldn't be more backhanded
0:01:15 > 0:01:17if they came from Roger Federer himself,
0:01:17 > 0:01:19it's my Pointless friend Richard.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22Hiya. Hi, everybody. APPLAUSE
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Good afternoon to you. Good afternoon.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26What a show we saw last time.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28Genuinely, one of the great performances, I would say,
0:01:28 > 0:01:30in Pointless history. Johnny and Duncan.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33Duncan was great, Johnny was unbelievable, though.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36First round, best possible score you could get, got the best score
0:01:36 > 0:01:39on his board. Second round, he gave us a pointless answer.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43Head-to-head, 2-0, no problem at all.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Duncan really helped him out as well on the head-to-head.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48And then in the final, US presidents,
0:01:48 > 0:01:511 point, pointless, pointless. Just incredible.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55?2,500 they won, and they wanted it for a lock-in. Yeah.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59They said that is very much the dream. They deserve it as well.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02They were amazing. Two returning pairs from that show -
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Pauline and Christine, who were knocked out in Round One,
0:02:04 > 0:02:08so want to see more of you this time, hopefully,
0:02:08 > 0:02:10and Round Two, we saw the end of Neil and Katy,
0:02:10 > 0:02:14who are also very good players. So, it should be a lot of fun today,
0:02:14 > 0:02:18but you'd go some way to beat that performance. Impressive, wasn't it?
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Really impressive. Really nice lads as well. Really nice. There it is.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22Thank you very much, Richard.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Duncan and Johnny won the jackpot last time,
0:02:24 > 0:02:28so today's jackpot starts off again at ?1,000.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33APPLAUSE
0:02:36 > 0:02:40All you have to remember is the pair with the highest score
0:02:40 > 0:02:42at the end of each round will be eliminated. That is all.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46Best of luck to all four pairs. Our first category this afternoon is...
0:02:48 > 0:02:50History. Can you decide in your pairs
0:02:50 > 0:02:52who's going first, who's going second.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01OK, the question concerns...
0:03:03 > 0:03:0521st century events, Richard.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Quite a loose definition of "history", I would say. Yeah.
0:03:08 > 0:03:09On each board,
0:03:09 > 0:03:12we'll show you seven events that took place in the 21st century.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15We need you to tell us the year they took place in, please.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18There will be seven on each board, 14 in all to have a go at home.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22Best of luck. OK, so in what years did the following events take place?
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Here is our first board of seven.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46I'll read all of those again.
0:04:05 > 0:04:09Christine, welcome back. From the isle of Arran. Yes.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Wonderful to have you back again. Round One last time. Yes.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Far too soon to be saying goodbye. Thank you.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17Remind us what you do, Christine.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20I work in a local high school in the learning support department
0:04:20 > 0:04:25as a classroom assistant. And when the holidays come, what do you do?
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Do you get off the island?
0:04:27 > 0:04:30No, I usually stay at home, although this summer,
0:04:30 > 0:04:34we haven't had very good weather recently, but I like to walk.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37Obviously, where we live, there is plenty scope for walking,
0:04:37 > 0:04:38so I do a lot of walking.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42Yeah, I suppose a lot of interesting birdlife and things like that
0:04:42 > 0:04:45on the isle of Arran as well. I also enjoy fishing as well. Fantastic.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49Now, Christine, how are you liking our board of recent history?
0:04:49 > 0:04:52I'm not! Hmm.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56Um, I'm going to go for the Queen Elizabeth II,
0:04:56 > 0:05:03but I'm still not quite sure whether to say 2002 or 2003.
0:05:03 > 0:05:08I'm going to say 2003. OK, for the Golden Jubilee.
0:05:08 > 0:05:112003, says Christine.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said 2003.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Oh, Christine, I'm sorry.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25I am sorry. That's an incorrect answer and it scores you 100 points.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28Sorry, I'll give all the correct answers at the end of the pass.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32I've got such a blind spot on years, when things happened. Mmm.
0:05:32 > 0:05:33I cannot do it.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36Well, I can, cos I've got them all written down,
0:05:36 > 0:05:38so I'm actually pretty good on this board,
0:05:38 > 0:05:41but before I'd looked, I was pretty bad.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Yeah, it's hard, really tough, that one.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Now, Katy, welcome back. Remind us what you do, Katy.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51I just graduated in maths. Just graduated in maths at St Andrew.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Have you had a lovely time at St Andrews? It's been wonderful.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57What are your favourite memories of your time there?
0:05:57 > 0:05:59I was part of a saxophone quartet
0:05:59 > 0:06:01and that was a really nice thing to do.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Saxophone... Have you got a name?
0:06:03 > 0:06:06No, we're the University of St Andrews
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Saxophone Scholarship Quartet.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11See, that is good, because so often... Catchy.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13There are puns available. Yeah.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17The Fairer Sax, I remember, was a female saxophonist group.
0:06:17 > 0:06:22Anyway, Katy, what would you like to go for on our board? I don't know.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24I'm trying to count back. Um...
0:06:25 > 0:06:28I think I'm going to count back wrong for Gordon Brown.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30I guess I'll go for Rebecca Adlington,
0:06:30 > 0:06:36and I don't think it was the one before London, I'm hoping,
0:06:36 > 0:06:38so I'm going to say it's 2004.
0:06:38 > 0:06:422004, says Katy. 2004 for Rebecca Adlington's first gold medal.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Let's see if that's right.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50No, bad luck, Katy, I'm afraid that's another incorrect answer.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Phew, first podium are heaving
0:06:52 > 0:06:54a sigh of relief there.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58Bit of company on the 100. But that scores you 100 points, Katy.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01It's going well, isn't it? Yes, it is. Terrific stuff, so far. Yeah.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Craig, welcome to Pointless. Thank you.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Great to have you here from London. That's right.
0:07:07 > 0:07:08Originally from Scotland.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11Whereabouts in Scotland are you from? Fife. From Fife.
0:07:11 > 0:07:16And what do you do in London? Um, I'm a freelance PR assistant.
0:07:16 > 0:07:23OK, any particular kind of PR you work in? Movies, books...
0:07:23 > 0:07:26See, that's quite fun. And what are your interests, Craig?
0:07:26 > 0:07:29Um, I'm really into music.
0:07:29 > 0:07:35I love politics, reading biographies, the royal family.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39OK, so how are you feeling about this as a category? This is it.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Gordon Brown became Prime Minister, I could have a guess at.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45The best one I could probably go for
0:07:45 > 0:07:51is the Live 8 concerts took place, and I think it was in 2007.
0:07:52 > 0:07:572007, says Craig. Let's see how many of our 100 people said 2007.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03No, I'm afraid that's another...
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Might give those monks a ring. LAUGHTER
0:08:05 > 0:08:09That's another incorrect answer. Scores you 100 points.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13We should show this round to some academic researchers
0:08:13 > 0:08:16to take a look at our short-term memory. Yeah.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19I wonder what could possibly have gone wrong with it.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23But genuinely, I have to say I would be doing equally as badly.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25There we are, thank you.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Now then, Ramsey, welcome to Pointless.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Great to have you here. What do you do, Ramsey?
0:08:29 > 0:08:33I work in sales and accounts for a sports science company
0:08:33 > 0:08:36back in Leamington. So, a sports science company. What's that?
0:08:36 > 0:08:40I'm imaging you making sports drinks but... No, I wish it was.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44I'm making sports heart rate monitors for football clubs
0:08:44 > 0:08:47and athletics teams to progress their fitness. That's good.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50And what are your interests when you're not...?
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Playing sport, watching sport, music.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56We go to quite a lot of live music. Photography.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59I'm quite a keen amateur photographer. Keeps me busy.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03OK, Ramsey, the stage is set here for you to triumph.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06There's a whole board of things you can go for.
0:09:06 > 0:09:11There's one certainty and that's the bottom one. London hosted in 2012.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14I could hazard a guess at the other ones,
0:09:14 > 0:09:18but the top one I'm not sure on. I'd just guess 2002.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21I think the second one is 2012 as well.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24I think it was in the same year as the Olympic Games - I think.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28Live 8 concerts - 2007
0:09:28 > 0:09:30But the one I'm going to go for is Rebecca Adlington.
0:09:30 > 0:09:35I think she won it in 2008. 2008, Ramsey. Yes.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38OK, let's just make sure the column's still working.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40It's been a while.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Let's see how many of our 100 people said 2008
0:09:42 > 0:09:44for Rebecca Adlington's first gold.
0:09:46 > 0:09:47There we go!
0:09:50 > 0:09:54Ah, listen, that's got Round Two written all over it. 24.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57Very well done, Ramsey. That's all right.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59APPLAUSE Well played, Ramsey.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03Those Olympic years are rather helpful in rounds like this.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Let's take a look at the other answers you gave us.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09You suggested 2002 for the top one. That was 2015.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12LAUGHTER
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Within the 21st century, that's almost as far out as you can get.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17The good news is you didn't say it.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Queen Elizabeth you said was 2012.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22That was 2002.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Gordon Brown became Prime Minister? 2007.
0:10:27 > 0:10:292007, correct.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33You said the Live 8 concerts were in 2007,
0:10:33 > 0:10:36which is exactly what Craig said and he got 100, so...
0:10:36 > 0:10:38It was 2005.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Prince George of Cambridge no-one went for.
0:10:42 > 0:10:442013. 2013.
0:10:46 > 0:10:50And London hosted the Summer Olympics in 2012, of course.
0:10:51 > 0:10:5375?! I know.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56I think by the time you get to the last one, people have given up.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59LAUGHTER I suppose, yeah. Thanks, Richard.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03We're halfway through the round, so let's check up on those scores.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06Very well done, Ramsey. Our only score under 100.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08So, Ramsey and Kevin, I'd suggest
0:11:08 > 0:11:11you probably ought to be making it through to Round Two.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14Then we've got Craig and Ricky, Katy and Neil,
0:11:14 > 0:11:18and Christine and Pauline, all jockeying it out on 100.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22So, can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:11:24 > 0:11:29OK, let's put seven more events up on the board and here they are.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52I will read all of those again.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14Now then, Kevin, welcome to Pointless. Thank you.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16Also from Royal Leamington Spa.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18Yeah. Kevin, what do you do?
0:12:18 > 0:12:22I'm a sales ledger clerk in an accounts department. I see.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26What does that job involve? Collecting a lot of cash.
0:12:26 > 0:12:31Oh, you have to chase bills? Yeah. That's fun! Number crunching. Yeah.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34Invoices, credit notes, all that. That... Ah!
0:12:34 > 0:12:37I'm amazed you can bear to be away to come here today.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41Yeah, I know! Kevin, what interests you aside from all of that work?
0:12:41 > 0:12:42I like sport, like keeping fit,
0:12:42 > 0:12:46like a bit of cooking, getting in the kitchen,
0:12:46 > 0:12:49going to gigs, festivals, that sort of thing.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Very good. Kevin, you're on 24.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Ramsey's hard work in the first pass paid off.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56A score of 75 or less guarantees you
0:12:56 > 0:12:59a place in the next round.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02The first board was better for me. Um...
0:13:03 > 0:13:07Well, Millennium Dome and London Eye, I'm going to say 2000.
0:13:07 > 0:13:092000, says Kevin.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11That's caused a little buzz amongst our audience.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Here's your red line. Get below that with 2000,
0:13:13 > 0:13:16you're through to the next round. Let's see how many people said it.
0:13:18 > 0:13:19It's right.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21You are through to the next round.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24APPLAUSE
0:13:24 > 0:13:2755 is the slightly baffling score of that.
0:13:27 > 0:13:3179 is your total. Very well played. Both turned into enormous successes,
0:13:31 > 0:13:33the London Eye right from the beginning.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36But the Millennium Dome, since it changed hands,
0:13:36 > 0:13:39has become an enormous success. Thank you. Now, Ricky. Hello.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42Welcome to Pointless. Thank you. What do you do, Ricky?
0:13:42 > 0:13:45I'm a director at a PR agency.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Does Craig sometimes work for your PR agency?
0:13:47 > 0:13:48He doesn't, actually, no.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50It's just a coincidence, a happy coincidence.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52What sort of PR do YOU do?
0:13:52 > 0:13:55Consumer PR, so travel, lifestyle, restaurants, retail...
0:13:55 > 0:13:59That's not too terrible then. It's not too terrible at all, no.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02So, quite often, holiday islands in far-flung continents.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Often it's the more junior staff who get to go off on the trips,
0:14:04 > 0:14:07unfortunately. I'm often stuck back in the office. Stuck in the office.
0:14:07 > 0:14:08Where IS the office? The Bahamas?
0:14:08 > 0:14:11Er, no, Soho. Soho.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14Well, the Bahamas in London, really. The nearest we have to them.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16We like to think so. Yes, I think so.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18Now, Ricky, you're on 100 points. Yeah.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20You're in very good company on 100 points.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22We need a low score from you.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25I only really definitely know one of these ones,
0:14:25 > 0:14:27so I'm going to go with that one.
0:14:27 > 0:14:28I don't think we should take the risk,
0:14:28 > 0:14:32so I'm going to say the Scottish independence referendum - 2014?
0:14:32 > 0:14:352014, says Ricky. Not even sure about that.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37It wasn't THAT long ago. No red line for you.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41You're the joint high-scorers. Let's see how many people said 2014.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45It's right.
0:14:45 > 0:14:4778. 178 is your total.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50APPLAUSE
0:14:50 > 0:14:52Yeah, an 84.6% turnout
0:14:52 > 0:14:55in their Scottish referendum, the largest in any election
0:14:55 > 0:14:57or referendum since universal suffrage.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00We can just about remember back to 2014,
0:15:00 > 0:15:03but you saw Prince George on the previous one was 2013
0:15:03 > 0:15:05and even that, we're starting to get to,
0:15:05 > 0:15:08"How old is he? Four months old or something?"
0:15:08 > 0:15:11Time tends to speed up a bit, doesn't it?
0:15:11 > 0:15:12Indeed. Thanks very much.
0:15:12 > 0:15:17Now, Neil. Hello. Neil, welcome back. Thank you.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21Also just left St Andrews. Yes. Just finished your degree.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24What else did you get up at St Andrews, apart from your maths?
0:15:24 > 0:15:27I do a lot of theatre. I was on our performing arts committee.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29It's called Mermaids.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32It's the University of St Andrews Performing Arts Fund,
0:15:32 > 0:15:34which isn't a very glamorous title,
0:15:34 > 0:15:38but basically, we are a self-funding body and we invest in people,
0:15:38 > 0:15:41so people come to us with ideas of shows
0:15:41 > 0:15:43they want to put on and then we decide.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46This is people within the university? Any student can apply
0:15:46 > 0:15:50to the fund and there's a committee who's elected...
0:15:50 > 0:15:51And you then grant the money
0:15:51 > 0:15:53for those productions. Fantastic.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55I was the treasurer for the last two years. That's fun.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Did you get involved? Did you act at all? Yeah, I actually did a lot.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01I've been down to the Edinburgh Fringe. I'm from Edinburgh anyway,
0:16:01 > 0:16:04but I've been as part of the show from St Andrews
0:16:04 > 0:16:08and I've also been on and offstage in St Andrews too.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10Good for you. Now, you have a target here,
0:16:10 > 0:16:13which is 77 or less.
0:16:13 > 0:16:1577 or less, Neil.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18I have a couple I think I could guess at.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21The one I'm going to go for is the first Harry Potter film,
0:16:21 > 0:16:23which I think was 2001.
0:16:23 > 0:16:262001, says Neil. Let's see if that's right.
0:16:26 > 0:16:27Here's your red line.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30Get below that with the first Harry Potter film, 2001,
0:16:30 > 0:16:32you are into the next round.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36It's right. Very well done.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38You're through to the next round.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42That's a great score! 24. APPLAUSE
0:16:42 > 0:16:45You're equalling our lowest score of the round over there from Ramsey.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48124 is your total. Well done, Neil.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50This is much more like it. Just to depress us all,
0:16:50 > 0:16:52how old were you in 2001? Eight.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54LAUGHTER Mmm-hmm.
0:16:54 > 0:16:59Thanks, Richard. Pauline, welcome back. Also here
0:16:59 > 0:17:00from the isle of Arran. Yes.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03You and Christine have worked together for ages now,
0:17:03 > 0:17:06had a lovely time working in the school together. Yes.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08What are your interests outside of school?
0:17:08 > 0:17:10I like to do a wee bit of keep-fit,
0:17:10 > 0:17:13wee bit of running and walking, wee bit of Zumba.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Just wee bits of these things.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19I'm also a keen reader and I like to knit as well.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22What's the most ambitious thing you've committed to wool?
0:17:22 > 0:17:26Ooh, I'm not sure I'd say it's the most ambitious thing,
0:17:26 > 0:17:28but my current project is going to be
0:17:28 > 0:17:33a retro 1980s Icelandic sweater on circular pins.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35LAUGHTER
0:17:35 > 0:17:39Sounds quite painful. Presumably it comes off the pins before you...
0:17:39 > 0:17:42Yes. Have you started that yet? No,
0:17:42 > 0:17:45it's...it's a wintertime project, I think.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47I see.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50We have a target for you as well, which is 77 or less.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52Do you want to talk us through that board?
0:17:52 > 0:17:56Probably the first one I could probably kind of work out.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00I think it would be...2005.
0:18:00 > 0:18:05And Barack Obama, I think 2008.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07The first tweet would be a guess
0:18:07 > 0:18:10and the rugby, I don't do sport,
0:18:10 > 0:18:13so I have absolutely no clue at all about that.
0:18:13 > 0:18:19So, I think what I will say is Barack Obama and 2008.
0:18:19 > 0:18:232008 for Barack Obama, says Pauline. Here is your red line.
0:18:23 > 0:18:28Get below that with Barack Obama, 2008, you are into Round Two.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33Oh, no! Oh, I'm sorry, Pauline, I'm afraid
0:18:33 > 0:18:35that's an incorrect answer, scores you 100 points.
0:18:35 > 0:18:36Takes your total up to 200.
0:18:36 > 0:18:40I'm sorry. Sorry, Pauline. A common trap with those US elections.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43The election took place at the end of 2008.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47They then get sworn in at the beginning of the next year, always,
0:18:47 > 0:18:50so the answer is 2009 for when he was sworn in.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55The 60th anniversary commemorations of D-day was actually 2004.
0:18:55 > 0:19:01D-day was 1944. First public tweet? What would you guess?
0:19:01 > 0:19:03I'd say 2007.
0:19:03 > 0:19:072006 is the answer. 2 points for that. Great answer.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10And England Rugby World Cup? 2003. 2003.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14So, the first public tweet is the best answer on the board.
0:19:14 > 0:19:15Thanks very much, Richard.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17At the end of our first round, the pair we're sending home,
0:19:17 > 0:19:21I'm sorry, again, it's a Round One departure for Pauline and Christine.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24Far too soon. We've seen far too little of you.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26It's been lovely having on though. Thanks for playing.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28Pauline and Christine. Thank you.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30APPLAUSE
0:19:30 > 0:19:32For the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35APPLAUSE
0:19:37 > 0:19:39Hey, here we are. Round Two!
0:19:39 > 0:19:42We've seen off one of our returning pairs already.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45Hats off to the far podium, Kevin and Ramsey,
0:19:45 > 0:19:48the only couple to have two correct answers,
0:19:48 > 0:19:51which is no mean achievement. Best of luck to all three pairs.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Our category for Round Two this afternoon is...
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Film. Can you all decide in your pairs
0:19:57 > 0:19:59who's going first, who's going second.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08OK, and the question is about...
0:20:09 > 0:20:11Carry On films, Richard.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13In a moment, Xander's going to show you
0:20:13 > 0:20:14the titles of five Carry On films.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17We're looking for any actor who received an acting credit
0:20:17 > 0:20:20in any of those films, please, according to IMDb.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22OK, so we're going to put up the names of five Carry On films.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25They're going to stay up for the whole round.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27They won't be changing halfway through, just so you know.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30We just need the name of any actor from any of these films
0:20:30 > 0:20:32and here they are.
0:20:38 > 0:20:39I'll read those all again.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47Katy. I have no idea.
0:20:47 > 0:20:51It's awful, cos I'm literally thinking an older actor that's male.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53So I'm going to go for John Cleese.
0:20:53 > 0:20:58OK, that has been controversially good or controversially bad
0:20:58 > 0:21:03amongst our audience. Let's find out which. John Cleese.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09Sorry, Katy, not John Cleese
0:21:09 > 0:21:11in the Carry On films.
0:21:11 > 0:21:16No, don't think he appeared in any of them. Thanks, Richard.
0:21:16 > 0:21:21Now, Ricky. Yes. How do you like this round? Um, it's OK, actually.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23I did watch the Carry On films a bit when I was younger,
0:21:23 > 0:21:25seen a few of them recently.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Not something I watch all the time but, yeah...
0:21:27 > 0:21:30Imagine watching them all the time! That would be a bit trying.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32That would be something, wouldn't it?!
0:21:32 > 0:21:34Ricky, what are you going to go for?
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Um, I'm trying to think of one of the lesser-known actors
0:21:36 > 0:21:39that was in them. I'm going to go with Charles Hawtrey.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Charles Hawtrey, says Ricky.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44Let's see how many of our 100 people went with Charles Hawtrey.
0:21:46 > 0:21:47Well done.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55Look at that! Very well done indeed! 18 for Charles Hawtrey.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57APPLAUSE
0:21:59 > 0:22:01Yeah, he's in four of those, Charles Hawtrey.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03Only Carry On England he's not in.
0:22:03 > 0:22:09Thanks, Richard. Now, Ramsey. Hi. What would you like to go for?
0:22:09 > 0:22:13Well, I don't like the Carry On films for starters
0:22:13 > 0:22:15and I don't think I've ever seen any. OK.
0:22:15 > 0:22:20It'll be a complete guess, but my guess is David Jason.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23David Jason. Interesting.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26That earns you a little "Ooh", an interested buzz, as well. Let's see.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29David Jason. That could be interesting. Let's find out.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31David Jason - is he in any of these?
0:22:34 > 0:22:37No, I'm afraid NOT in any of these films,
0:22:37 > 0:22:40but quite a good sort of guess, I'd have thought.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43100 points is what that scores you, Ramsey.
0:22:43 > 0:22:44Sorry, Ramsey, not David Jason either,
0:22:44 > 0:22:47although you mustn't say that you don't like them
0:22:47 > 0:22:50and then say you've never seen any of them,
0:22:50 > 0:22:52because how would you know? Exactly.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54That's what we say to our children all the time, isn't it?
0:22:54 > 0:22:57Yes, we do say that to our children all the time. Yes.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59You don't know until you try. Exactly.
0:22:59 > 0:23:04There's some very, very, very funny Carry On films. Oh, they are.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07At their best, they are... Magnificent. ..hard to beat.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09We're halfway through the round.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12Let's look at the scores, just the two scores between the three pairs.
0:23:12 > 0:23:1318 is where we find Ricky and Craig.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15Very well done. Hats off to Ricky and Craig.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18Looking like strong contenders for the head-to-head at this point.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21Then 100 is where we find Ramsey and Kevin and Katy and Neil.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23So, good luck.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:23:30 > 0:23:32OK. Kevin, Carry On films.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35We're looking for any actor credited with an appearance
0:23:35 > 0:23:38in any of these five Carry On films. Do you watch Carry On films, Kevin?
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Yeah, I like a Carry On. Yeah.
0:23:40 > 0:23:44I've seen Carry On Screaming!
0:23:44 > 0:23:47And the bloke from Steptoe was in it.
0:23:47 > 0:23:51I think it was Harry H Corbett. Harry H Corbett, says Kevin.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54No red line for you, Kevin, as you're joint high-scorers.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57Let's see how many of our 100 people said Harry H Corbett.
0:23:59 > 0:24:00It's right.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05Now that, I think, deserves to go a long way down the column.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08Goes down to 7. Very well done, Kevin.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10APPLAUSE That is a great score.
0:24:10 > 0:24:11107 is your total.
0:24:11 > 0:24:15Well played, Kevin. Yeah, he was in Carry On Screaming!
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Played Detective Sergeant Sidney Bung. Thanks, Rich.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22Now, Craig, great low-scoring from Ricky in the first pass there.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25Can you keep this up? I'm going to try.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28I have a few names in my mind.
0:24:28 > 0:24:33One of them is... I know she's in another Carry On film.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36But I'm just going to go with a really obvious one
0:24:36 > 0:24:40and say Sid James. Sid James, says Craig. Here is your red line.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44If you get below this red line, you're into the head-to-head.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46How many people said Sid James?
0:24:48 > 0:24:50It's right and you're through. Well done, Craig.
0:24:52 > 0:24:5455. APPLAUSE
0:24:57 > 0:24:59Well played, Craig.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02He played Sid Boggle in Carry On Camping, Sid James.
0:25:02 > 0:25:03Thanks, Richard.
0:25:03 > 0:25:08Now, Neil, this is where it gets slightly sweaty palm time.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10You have to score 6 or less.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14Yeah, I have one answer and it's not going to be less than that.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Barbara Windsor.
0:25:16 > 0:25:20Barbara Windsor, says Neil. OK, Barbara Windsor.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22Here's your red line, it's low.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Let's see what happens with Barbara Windsor.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30It's right.
0:25:30 > 0:25:3276.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35APPLAUSE Takes your total up to 176,
0:25:35 > 0:25:38Neil and Katy. Yeah, one of those situations
0:25:38 > 0:25:39where making up a name might have been easier.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42So, there are hundreds and hundreds of pointless answers here.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44We'll take a look at a few of them.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47Bill Owen, who found fame as Compo, of course, is a pointless answer.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57Melvyn Hayes, who was in It Ain't Half Hot Mum and many other things.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02Let's look at the top three answers,
0:26:02 > 0:26:04the ones that most of our 100 people said.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15Some of the other more obvious names you might have gone for...
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Hattie Jacques would have scored you 40.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20Joan Sims would have scored 12.
0:26:20 > 0:26:21Windsor Davies, 2 you'd have got.
0:26:21 > 0:26:25Jim Dale scored 23. Peter Butterworth scored 10.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Was Bob Monkhouse not in one of those?
0:26:27 > 0:26:31I think he was in Carry On Sergeant. Was he? That's what I thought.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Would have got you 4 points. Ah.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36Bernard Bresslaw would have scored you 18 points.
0:26:36 > 0:26:40So, some nice answers up there. Some of the classic Carry On actors.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42Thanks very much indeed, Richard. So, at the end of our second round,
0:26:42 > 0:26:44I'm afraid the couple we have to say...
0:26:44 > 0:26:46It's our second returning pair.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48Oh, falling like flies. Neil and Katy,
0:26:48 > 0:26:50I'm so sorry to say goodbye to you.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Far too soon, but it's been wonderful having you on both shows.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55Thanks so much for playing, Neil and Katy.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57APPLAUSE
0:26:57 > 0:27:00But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03APPLAUSE
0:27:05 > 0:27:08Very well done, Kevin and Ramsey, Ricky and Craig,
0:27:08 > 0:27:10you're now one step closer to the final
0:27:10 > 0:27:13and a chance to play for our jackpot,
0:27:13 > 0:27:15which currently stands at ?1,000.
0:27:15 > 0:27:19Well, this should be a fairly no-nonsense semifinal, I would say.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22You can now confer before you give your answers, which is fantastic.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24Let's play the head-to-head.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26APPLAUSE
0:27:30 > 0:27:33Here is your first question and it concerns...
0:27:35 > 0:27:36Capital cities, Richard.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39Going to show you five visual clues to the names of capital cities.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42Can you tell us what those cities are, please?
0:27:42 > 0:27:46OK, let's reveal our five visual clues, and here they come.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11There we are. Five visual clues to capital cities.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13Kevin and Ramsey, you're our low-scorers, so you'll go first.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15Feel free to confer.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18INAUDIBLE CONFERRING
0:28:24 > 0:28:29A little bit of a risk, but we're going to go A, Bern.
0:28:29 > 0:28:34Bern, say Kevin and Ramsey. Bern. Now, Ricky and Craig, over to you.
0:28:34 > 0:28:38Talk us through the board. Um, B is the tough one, I think, for us.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40We can't think of that one. Know all the others.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43Um, I think we'll probably go with C, Kiev.
0:28:43 > 0:28:48OK, Kiev, say Ricky and Craig. We have Bern and we have Kiev.
0:28:48 > 0:28:51Kevin and Ramsey went for Bern. Let's see if that's right for A.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53Let's see how many people agree with them.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03Bern, well done. 27.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06APPLAUSE
0:29:06 > 0:29:10Ricky and Craig, meanwhile, have gone for Kiev for C.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13Let's see if that's right and how many people said Kiev.
0:29:17 > 0:29:19It's right.
0:29:19 > 0:29:20Oh, 66 for Kiev.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22APPLAUSE
0:29:22 > 0:29:26Very well done, Kevin and Ramsey, after one question, you're up 1-0.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28Well played. The second one is the best answer,
0:29:28 > 0:29:32so we'll leave it for a second. Let's start at E, shall we?
0:29:32 > 0:29:36E, of course, is Wellington, capital of New Zealand.
0:29:39 > 0:29:44D, Brussels, capital of Belgium, of course, at 94 points.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46Look how they've stacked those Brussels sprouts, there.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49It's like a sprout pyramid. It is.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52It's like the ambassador of some entirely different country
0:29:52 > 0:29:57is spoiling... Oh, imagine if you unwrapped the Ferrero Rocher
0:29:57 > 0:29:59and it had one of those inside. Mmm, ah!
0:29:59 > 0:30:03Ah, the Belgian ambassador. You're spoiling...
0:30:03 > 0:30:07Oh, you're NOT spoiling us. You got us some sprouts. Ah.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10Now, B is the best answer on the board.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13It can only be one thing, really, but it's the capital of Grenada.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15St George's. St George's, yeah.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18That would have scored 13 points, the best answer up there.
0:30:18 > 0:30:19Well done if you got that at home.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22Thanks, Rich. Here comes your second question.
0:30:22 > 0:30:23Ricky and Craig get to answer it first,
0:30:23 > 0:30:26but you have to win it to stay in the game, so best of luck.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29Our second question today is all about...
0:30:30 > 0:30:32It's about tables, Richard.
0:30:32 > 0:30:35Yeah, going to show you five facts now about tables.
0:30:35 > 0:30:38Can you give us the most obscure answer, please?
0:30:38 > 0:30:41OK, let's reveal our table facts and here they come.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03I'll read all of those one last time.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25Ricky and Craig, it's over to you.
0:31:25 > 0:31:29Um, I remember reading about the Boris Johnson thing at the time
0:31:29 > 0:31:32and just thinking what an obscure, weird word it was
0:31:32 > 0:31:35that he'd come up with and I assumed at the time he'd made it up.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37I think it was whiff-waff.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40Whiff-waff, say Ricky and Craig. Whiff-waff.
0:31:40 > 0:31:45Kevin and Ramsey. Um, we know a couple of them.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47Not sure on whiff-waff.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50But the one we're going to go for is Table Mountain
0:31:50 > 0:31:54and we think that's in South Africa. South Africa for Table Mountain.
0:31:54 > 0:31:55We have whiff-waff and we have South Africa.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57Ricky and Craig went for whiff-waff.
0:31:57 > 0:31:59Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:32:08 > 0:32:1019 for whiff-waff.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12Well done, darling. APPLAUSE
0:32:12 > 0:32:15Kevin and Ramsey, meanwhile, have gone for South Africa
0:32:15 > 0:32:17as the country in which you'd find Table Mountain.
0:32:17 > 0:32:19Let's see how many people said that.
0:32:23 > 0:32:24It's right.
0:32:24 > 0:32:2760. APPLAUSE
0:32:27 > 0:32:30Which means, well done, Ricky and Craig, you're back in the game.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32After two questions, it's 1-1.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35Well played, quite hard to beat whiff-waff.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37Let's look at the scores of the different ones.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39The title of the 2011 album by Adele.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42It's either going to be 19 or 21.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45Let's take a look. It was 21. 21.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47It would have score 39. That's not confusing at all(!)
0:32:47 > 0:32:50The number of pockets on a standard snooker table?
0:32:50 > 0:32:52Six. Six.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55That would have scored you 89 points, pretty impressive.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57Now, the British actor. Do you know that one?
0:32:57 > 0:33:00You know what, I DO know this one. Brilliant. David Niven.
0:33:00 > 0:33:04The wonderful David Niven. Well done if you said that.
0:33:04 > 0:33:067 points, the best answer on the board.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09Thank you very much indeed. So, here comes your third question.
0:33:09 > 0:33:11Whoever wins this one goes through to the final
0:33:11 > 0:33:14and plays for that jackpot. Best of luck to both pairs.
0:33:14 > 0:33:19Our third question today concerns bicycle parts. Richard.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22Yeah, we're going to show you five bicycle parts now,
0:33:22 > 0:33:24but they're in anagram form.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27Can you unscramble them and give us the most obscure of these.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29Very best of luck. Whichever team does best
0:33:29 > 0:33:31is going through to play for the jackpot.
0:33:31 > 0:33:34OK, let's reveal our five tangled bicycle parts and here they are.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47Kevin and Ramsey go first this time.
0:33:52 > 0:33:57Er, we're going to go for Herald Ban, handlebar.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00Handlebar, say Kevin and Ramsey. Handlebar.
0:34:00 > 0:34:04Now, Ricky and Craig, talk us through the board.
0:34:04 > 0:34:05I think we know the first two,
0:34:05 > 0:34:09but probably they're the more obvious ones.
0:34:09 > 0:34:15I think we're probably going to have to go with the second one
0:34:15 > 0:34:17and go with brakes. You're going with brakes.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19So, we have handlebar and we have brakes.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21Kevin and Ramsey went with handlebar.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27It's right.
0:34:29 > 0:34:3145 for handlebar.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33APPLAUSE
0:34:33 > 0:34:36Meanwhile, Ricky and Craig have gone for brakes.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38Let's see if that's right for "Bakers".
0:34:38 > 0:34:39Let's see how many people got that.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44It's right.
0:34:44 > 0:34:4776. APPLAUSE
0:34:47 > 0:34:49Which means very well done, Kevin and Ramsey,
0:34:49 > 0:34:51after three questions, you're through to the final 2-1.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53Good work, Kevin and Ramsey.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55Let's see if anything could have beaten handlebar,
0:34:55 > 0:34:57see if you could have got into that final.
0:34:57 > 0:34:59"Plead" is pedal, of course.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04That wouldn't have helped you. The one at the bottom there is...?
0:35:04 > 0:35:06Do you know that one? Mudguard. Mudguard, yeah.
0:35:09 > 0:35:1433 would have seen you through. And "Ace tests"? Seat something? Seat...
0:35:14 > 0:35:20Cassette. Cassette? Yeah. That's the best answer on the board.
0:35:20 > 0:35:22That requires a bit of specialist bike knowledge.
0:35:22 > 0:35:25People who know bikes and are good at anagrams would have got that.
0:35:25 > 0:35:28Do you know how many people that is? 5 in every 100.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30Look at that. But that's the best answer.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32Very well done if you got that. Thanks, Richard.
0:35:32 > 0:35:35The pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:35:35 > 0:35:37it's Ricky and Craig. But we'll see you again next time
0:35:37 > 0:35:40and on the strength of your performance today,
0:35:40 > 0:35:42I'm sure you'll do just as well, if not better, then.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45Meantime, thanks very much indeed. Ricky and Craig. Thank you.
0:35:45 > 0:35:47APPLAUSE
0:35:47 > 0:35:50But for Kevin and Ramsey, it's time for our Pointless final.
0:35:50 > 0:35:54APPLAUSE
0:35:54 > 0:35:56Congratulations, Kevin and Ramsey.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58You have seen off all the competition
0:35:58 > 0:36:02and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy. Yes!
0:36:07 > 0:36:10You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:36:10 > 0:36:14At the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at ?1,000.
0:36:14 > 0:36:18What do you want to see in this last round? I think probably music.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21Yeah, bit of sport. Sport, music, food maybe.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23Yeah, food and drink would be good. Yeah.
0:36:23 > 0:36:27OK, well, let's hope today's selection has something for you.
0:36:27 > 0:36:29We've got four, as ever.
0:36:37 > 0:36:41LAUGHTER Yeah... Phew! Hot in here, isn't it?
0:36:41 > 0:36:44Who's Nora Ephron? I don't know!
0:36:44 > 0:36:50I don't know the top one or the second one. Space exploration. Uh...
0:36:51 > 0:36:54We're going to go with the best of a very bad bunch.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57Space exploration. Space exploration. Rich.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59Very best of luck, gents.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01We're looking for any of the following, please.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03We're looking for any space mission
0:37:03 > 0:37:06launched aboard the Saturn V rocket, please.
0:37:06 > 0:37:09That's from 1967 to 1973, so the mission names.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11We're looking for anyone who was aboard
0:37:11 > 0:37:15any of the Apollo manned space flights. That's Apollo 7 onwards.
0:37:15 > 0:37:18Or any of the 22 member states of the European Space Agency.
0:37:18 > 0:37:23So, Saturn V launches, NASA Apollo lunar landing mission astronauts,
0:37:23 > 0:37:27from Apollo 7 onwards, and member states of the European Space Agency.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29Best of luck. Thanks very much, Richard.
0:37:29 > 0:37:32As always, you have up to one minute to come with three answers.
0:37:32 > 0:37:35All you need to win that jackpot is for just one of those answers
0:37:35 > 0:37:38to be pointless. Are you ready? Yes. Yes.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock. Your time starts now.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43We're better off going bottom.
0:37:43 > 0:37:47We can guess at 22 member states of the European Space Agency,
0:37:47 > 0:37:48so European countries.
0:37:48 > 0:37:52Definitely Russia, but that's not going to be pointless, so...
0:37:52 > 0:37:56Obscure European countries that have manned people to...
0:37:56 > 0:38:01Can think of maybe the Netherlands, do you think?
0:38:01 > 0:38:06I'm thinking more Eastern Europeans. Maybe...Kazakhstan.
0:38:06 > 0:38:09I think they've sent a national into space. I want to say Kazakhstan.
0:38:09 > 0:38:13Do it, mate. Russia. Sounds good. And...
0:38:13 > 0:38:17Cos before we had Russia, a lot of people didn't know it was Europe.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20OK, we'll have a bit of that. So, Russia, Kazakhstan.
0:38:20 > 0:38:21What about the other two?
0:38:21 > 0:38:24No, I think we're better off concentrating...
0:38:24 > 0:38:2622 European states.
0:38:26 > 0:38:30Do you reckon Uzbekistan or something obscure like that?
0:38:30 > 0:38:35Ten seconds left. Who knows? We'll say it, mate. Go on.
0:38:35 > 0:38:37I'm going to say Armenia.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40All right, you've got your three. Where's Armenia?
0:38:40 > 0:38:42OK, that is your time up.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45Let's have your three answers and say which category you're answering.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48So we're all going for the member states. OK, all three member states.
0:38:48 > 0:38:50We're not entirely sure on two of them,
0:38:50 > 0:38:53but we're just going to guess at them. But one of them's Russia.
0:38:53 > 0:38:57Russia. Armenia. Armenia. And Kazakhstan. And Kazakhstan.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59OK, three answers there.
0:38:59 > 0:39:02Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:39:02 > 0:39:05Kazakhstan sounds good. I think Kazakhstan sent an astronaut...
0:39:05 > 0:39:08Kazakhstan goes last. Least likely to be pointless? I think Russia.
0:39:08 > 0:39:10Russia, least likely. We'll put that first.
0:39:10 > 0:39:12OK, let's pop those up on the board
0:39:12 > 0:39:14in that order then and here they are.
0:39:17 > 0:39:20Well, three good answers on the board there.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23It looked pretty desperate, didn't it, as a category,
0:39:23 > 0:39:26but I think you managed to find something there.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28One of those could easily be pointless.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31Supposing it is and you win that ?1,000 jackpot,
0:39:31 > 0:39:35what would you do with that? Kevin? Vegas. Straight to Vegas.
0:39:35 > 0:39:40OK, lose it immediately. Yeah. OK, Ramsey, how about you?
0:39:40 > 0:39:44Ibiza or Vegas. OK. One of the two.
0:39:44 > 0:39:47The black or red, there they are. Which one's it going to be?
0:39:47 > 0:39:50Either. Well, very best of luck. As I say, three good answers.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52Russia was your least confident answer.
0:39:52 > 0:39:54In all three cases,
0:39:54 > 0:39:56we were looking for members of the European Space Agency.
0:39:56 > 0:39:57You've gone for Russia first.
0:39:57 > 0:40:00If this is right and pointless, it'll win you ?1,000.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02Let's see how many people said Russia.
0:40:05 > 0:40:09Ooh, Russia, I'm afraid, an incorrect answer,
0:40:09 > 0:40:11so obviously not a pointless answer,
0:40:11 > 0:40:13which means you only have two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:40:13 > 0:40:14Your next answer was Armenia.
0:40:14 > 0:40:18Again, we're looking for members of the European Space Agency.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20If this is right and pointless, it wins you ?1,000.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22How many people said Armenia?
0:40:25 > 0:40:27No, bad luck!
0:40:28 > 0:40:31I'm afraid Armenia also an incorrect answer.
0:40:31 > 0:40:35Everything is now riding on your third and final answer, Kazakhstan.
0:40:35 > 0:40:38If this is correct and pointless, it will win you ?1,000.
0:40:38 > 0:40:42How many of our 100 people said Kazakhstan? Is it right?
0:40:44 > 0:40:47No, I'm sorry!
0:40:47 > 0:40:50APPLAUSE
0:40:50 > 0:40:53I'm sorry. A very, very tough board, that one.
0:40:54 > 0:40:56You know, hard to choose, really,
0:40:56 > 0:41:00from those four categories that you had on the board there.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03And I'm afraid Space Exploration didn't really help you out,
0:41:03 > 0:41:05I'm sorry to say. But there we are.
0:41:05 > 0:41:07I'm afraid you didn't manage to find a pointless answer,
0:41:07 > 0:41:09so you don't win today's jackpot of ?1,000
0:41:09 > 0:41:12which will roll over onto the next show.
0:41:12 > 0:41:15But you can be very proud of your performance across the show today.
0:41:15 > 0:41:16It's been great to have you on.
0:41:16 > 0:41:20And you get to take home a Pointless trophy, so very well done. Yeah.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:41:25 > 0:41:28Unlucky, gents. Russia's got its own space agency.
0:41:28 > 0:41:31Let's take a look at the answers in the different categories.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33Saturn V launches.
0:41:33 > 0:41:35Some you could have guessed at.
0:41:35 > 0:41:39Apollo 4, Apollo 6, Apollo 15, 16 and 17 all pointless answers.
0:41:39 > 0:41:43And Skylab. Those were the pointless answers there.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46Now, on the astronauts, there are some big names here, actually.
0:41:46 > 0:41:49The commander of Apollo 17, Eugene Cernan, was there.
0:41:49 > 0:41:52Both of these two were in Apollo 13, so they were both in the film.
0:41:52 > 0:41:56Kevin Bacon plays Jack Swigert and Tom Hanks plays Jim Lovell.
0:41:56 > 0:41:59And the third man to walk on the moon, Pete Conrad,
0:41:59 > 0:42:01was also a pointless answer.
0:42:01 > 0:42:04In fact, the only astronauts to score points there
0:42:04 > 0:42:06were Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, Michael Collins,
0:42:06 > 0:42:07Alan Shepard and David Scott.
0:42:07 > 0:42:09Everyone else was a pointless answer,
0:42:09 > 0:42:11so well done if you said any of those.
0:42:11 > 0:42:14There's a wonderful book called Moondust, The Men Who Fell To Earth,
0:42:14 > 0:42:16by a guy called Andrew Smith.
0:42:16 > 0:42:18He interviews everyone who's walked on the moon.
0:42:18 > 0:42:19It's a terrific book.
0:42:19 > 0:42:21It's very interesting, if you love that sort of thing.
0:42:21 > 0:42:23Lots of those guys mentioned in that.
0:42:23 > 0:42:25Member states of the European Space Agency.
0:42:25 > 0:42:26There's three pointless answers.
0:42:26 > 0:42:29Might have stumbled across one of them.
0:42:33 > 0:42:35Low-scorers - Hungary, Austria,
0:42:35 > 0:42:38Greece and Finland all would have scored you 1.
0:42:38 > 0:42:41Estonia, Luxembourg, Denmark, Norway all would have scored you 2.
0:42:41 > 0:42:44So, none of the Eastern European states
0:42:44 > 0:42:47are in that European Space Agency. Thanks very much, Richard.
0:42:47 > 0:42:50Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to you, Kevin and Ramsey,
0:42:50 > 0:42:53but it's been great having you on the show. Thank you for playing.
0:42:53 > 0:42:55Kevin and Ramsey. Thanks. Thanks a lot.
0:42:55 > 0:42:57APPLAUSE
0:42:57 > 0:43:00Well, Kevin and Ramsey didn't win our jackpot today,
0:43:00 > 0:43:04so it rolls onto the next show, when we will be playing for ?2,000.
0:43:04 > 0:43:06Join us next time to see if someone can win it.
0:43:06 > 0:43:08Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard. Goodbye.
0:43:08 > 0:43:10And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
0:43:10 > 0:43:12APPLAUSE
