0:00:16 > 0:00:20CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:20 > 0:00:23Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong
0:00:23 > 0:00:26and a warm welcome to Pointless, the show where obvious answers
0:00:26 > 0:00:29mean nothing and obscure answers mean everything.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31Let's meet today's players.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37And couple number one.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40Hi, my name is Andrew and this is my mate, IK, and we're from London.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43- Couple number two.- Hi, my name's Katie and this is my mum, Dawn,
0:00:43 > 0:00:44and we're from Essex.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47- Couple number three.. - Hi, my name is Garry,
0:00:47 > 0:00:49this is my friend and colleague Gavin and we're from Edinburgh.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51And finally, couple number four.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Hi, my name's Sam, that's my partner Michelle, and we're from Birmingham.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57And these are today's contestants.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Thanks very much indeed. We will get to chat to each of you a bit more
0:01:02 > 0:01:03throughout the show,
0:01:03 > 0:01:07so that just leaves one more person for me to introduce - the ruthless,
0:01:07 > 0:01:10bloodthirsty leader of our quiz cartel, it's my Pointless friend,
0:01:10 > 0:01:13- it's Richard.- Hiya.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16Hi, everybody. Afternoon.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18- Good afternoon to you. - Good afternoon.- How are you?
0:01:18 > 0:01:20I'm very well, thank you.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22I was very pleased that Andrew referred to IK as his friend
0:01:22 > 0:01:25cos I was worried about the two of them after the last show.
0:01:25 > 0:01:26They were so brilliant all the way through
0:01:26 > 0:01:28and then in the head-to-head,
0:01:28 > 0:01:31right at the last minute, IK had an answer, Andrew had an answer.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34- Andrew overruled.- Yeah. - IK was right, Andrew was wrong.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37And, unfortunately, they got knocked out.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40But they return to fight another day, but terrific pair.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42We also had Dawn and Katie on the last show,
0:01:42 > 0:01:43who got knocked out in Round One.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46So hopefully we'll see more of you this time.
0:01:46 > 0:01:47And welcome to our two new pairs.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50I'd say Garry and Gavin both look and sound like they mean business,
0:01:50 > 0:01:52- don't they?- I think they do. - I think they do, too.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Should be an absolute cracker.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Now, the jackpot round last time was about Beowulf, wasn't it?
0:01:56 > 0:01:59So that's out of the way. That's the good news.
0:01:59 > 0:02:00Thanks very much, Richard.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Now, Gabrielle and Holly didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:02:03 > 0:02:07so we add another £1,000 to that, so today's jackpot starts off...
0:02:07 > 0:02:09at £2,000, there we are.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11- AUDIENCE:- Whoo!
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22As I am sure you know, the pair with the highest score
0:02:22 > 0:02:25at the end of each round will be eliminated.
0:02:25 > 0:02:26No conferring in the first two rounds.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Best of luck to all four pairs. The first category today is...
0:02:31 > 0:02:32The Olympic Games.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Can you decide in your pairs who is going to go first,
0:02:35 > 0:02:37who's going to go second and whoever's going first,
0:02:37 > 0:02:39please step up to the podium?
0:02:42 > 0:02:45OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes,
0:02:45 > 0:02:48we gave 100 people 100 seconds to name...
0:02:48 > 0:02:52as many Summer Olympics gold medal-winning countries
0:02:52 > 0:02:56as they could. Summer Olympics gold medal-winning countries, Richard.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Yep, simply looking for any country that's won a gold medal at any
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Olympics from 1896 all the way through to 2012, please.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04We're looking for modern-day countries,
0:03:04 > 0:03:06so countries who no longer exist we won't allow.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09So, any country, and as always, by country we mean a sovereign state
0:03:09 > 0:03:12that is a member of the UN in its own right. Very best of luck.
0:03:12 > 0:03:13Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16IK, welcome back. Um, IK, remind us what you do.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19- I'm a health and safety officer. - Now, it's good that you're here.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21How is our health and safety on Pointless?
0:03:21 > 0:03:24Um, everything looks OK.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27And these podiums, you've had... Ow! Ow!
0:03:27 > 0:03:28You've... They're all fine?
0:03:28 > 0:03:30They're good to all the standards.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33- Very good, I'm pleased to hear that. - I always worry about the barrier at
0:03:33 > 0:03:36the back there, behind Dawn and Katie, I think it's a bit flimsy.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39It's not. Adamantine, it is.
0:03:39 > 0:03:43- Is it?- Very firm! Very firm indeed. It's a bit low, though, there.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46- It would be low for me, with my centre of gravity.- Oh, that's true.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48- I'd be straight over the back. - Yeah. There we are.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52Thank you, Richard. Now, IK, what would you like to go for?
0:03:52 > 0:03:58So, I'm going to go for my home country, Nigeria, and say Nigeria.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00OK, Nigeria, says IK.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Let's see how many of our 100 people said Nigeria.
0:04:06 > 0:04:07It's right.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Look at that, down it goes, Nigeria...
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Oh, that's a good answer. That's a great answer!
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Another great answer from the IK-Andrew partnership.
0:04:16 > 0:04:184 - great start to the show as well.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Well done, IK. I was amazed to see they've only won three gold medals,
0:04:22 > 0:04:25- Nigeria, in the Olympics.- No?- Isn't that amazing?- In the modern era?
0:04:25 > 0:04:29Yeah. They won a women's long jump medal - a gold medal -
0:04:29 > 0:04:32they won the football, didn't they, of course? And the 4 x 400.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Thanks very much indeed, Richard. Katie, welcome back.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38- Remind us what you do, Katie. - I'm an English teacher.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40What sort of age do you teach English up to?
0:04:40 > 0:04:42So, anywhere from 12 to 16.
0:04:42 > 0:04:4612 to 16. So you are very familiar with the GCSE set works then?
0:04:46 > 0:04:49- Yeah.- How long have you done it for? - Um, about two years now.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52- OK.- Yeah, so not long. - Not long, not long.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56- All your class, of course, will be watching.- Oh, yeah!- Oh-ho-ho!
0:04:56 > 0:04:59- It's so hard on teachers, that.- No pressure(!)- Well, yeah, no pressure.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01What do you like getting up to
0:05:01 > 0:05:05- when not teaching or marking or preparing?- Oh, lots of things.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07I like to draw, I like to read, bake...
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Um, travel.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13Very good. Now, Katie, how do we like this Olympics-based question?
0:05:13 > 0:05:17Um, sport isn't a good category for me...
0:05:17 > 0:05:20I don't know whether to take a risk and take a punt and try and get
0:05:20 > 0:05:23a low one or whether to go for an obvious one.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Well, I mean, the bar's been set quite low by IK there, so I'd be
0:05:26 > 0:05:29tempted to say take a punt, but obviously, don't listen to me.
0:05:29 > 0:05:34Yeah... I'm going to go with... Trinidad and Tobago.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36That's a great answer, I hope it's a great answer. Let's see.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39How many of our 100 people said Trinidad and Tobago?
0:05:42 > 0:05:43It's right!
0:05:44 > 0:05:48It's right. 4 is our only score at this point.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51Trinidad and Tobago passes it, down to 1!
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Very well done, Katie.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Great answer, Katie, they won two Olympic gold medals.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00They won the 100 metres - Hasely Crawford -
0:06:00 > 0:06:04- and they also won a javelin gold. - Thank you very much. Now, Garry.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06A warm welcome to Pointless, here from Edinburgh.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08- Yes.- What do you do, Garry?
0:06:08 > 0:06:12- I'm a police officer.- How long have you been a police officer?
0:06:12 > 0:06:14I've been a police officer for three years now.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Three years. Always in Edinburgh, or have you...?
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Always based in Edinburgh, yeah.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Garry, what are your interests, aside from the law?
0:06:20 > 0:06:23I enjoy playing football, rugby...
0:06:23 > 0:06:26I've managed to get a couple of games where I can go and work
0:06:26 > 0:06:29- at the rugby at Murrayfield.- That's got to be hard, though, isn't it?
0:06:29 > 0:06:32- Cos you're meant to face away from the action.- Yeah, it's...
0:06:32 > 0:06:35It's good, though, you get a good crowd at the rugby, so it's...
0:06:35 > 0:06:38- You can feel the noise anyway. - Definitely, yeah.- Very good.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40OK, now, Garry, what would you like to go for?
0:06:40 > 0:06:42The scores are very low at this stage.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44They are, I think my hand's going to be forced,
0:06:44 > 0:06:47I'll need to go for something a bit out there.
0:06:47 > 0:06:52So I'm hoping there's been maybe a long-distance runner from Eritrea.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Ah, nice, Eritrea, says Garry.
0:06:55 > 0:06:56It's getting a good nod from Andrew.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00I think that's a more sort of, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, we'll see," nod,
0:07:00 > 0:07:04but we'll see. Uh, how many of our 100 people said Eritrea?
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Oh, no!
0:07:09 > 0:07:10Oh, you went out there, Garry,
0:07:10 > 0:07:13you just went a little bit too far out there, I think.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16- Just a little bit.- I'm sorry, that has scored you 100 points.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19Yeah, I mean, worth the risk and once again we have to call Andrew's
0:07:19 > 0:07:22judgment into question with his nod.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24They've only ever won one bronze medal, Eritrea,
0:07:24 > 0:07:27- at the modern Olympics. - Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Michelle, a warm welcome to Pointless.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Now, I noticed that when Sam introduced you, he said you were
0:07:33 > 0:07:36from Birmingham, but when I chatted to you before you said you were
0:07:36 > 0:07:38- from Hertfordshire...- Yeah. - So your hearts are still very
0:07:38 > 0:07:42- much in Birmingham?- Yeah. So, we're from Birmingham originally,
0:07:42 > 0:07:46but I moved down to Ware for work a couple of years ago, so...
0:07:46 > 0:07:48I see, but you still feel very much from Birmingham?
0:07:48 > 0:07:51- I still go there quite a lot, yeah. - Will you return to Birmingham?
0:07:51 > 0:07:53I don't know. Yeah, because of jobs, I don't know.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55There's not many science jobs in Birmingham, so...
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Sorry, science job, what do you do?
0:07:57 > 0:08:01I work for a pharmaceutical company looking at anything that goes into
0:08:01 > 0:08:04drugs really, like, materials that go into drugs and make sure that
0:08:04 > 0:08:06they do what they are supposed to do. Yeah, it's quite interesting.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10Good for you, excellent. Now, Michelle, Olympics.
0:08:10 > 0:08:15Yeah, so... Um, I'm going to take a punt.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19I think I remember Kuwait winning a gold medal for shooting in the 2012
0:08:19 > 0:08:22- Olympics, so... - Kuwait, says Michelle.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Now... Oh, Andrew's got a different nod.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26The repertoire of Andrew's nods...
0:08:26 > 0:08:29First one, Eritrea, got this, a sort of figure of eight...
0:08:29 > 0:08:33"Mm, mm..." This one got a head to one side...
0:08:34 > 0:08:36We'll see what that means.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Let's see how many of our 100 people said Kuwait.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Oh, no!
0:08:44 > 0:08:46Oh, no! It's a great relief
0:08:46 > 0:08:48for Garry, but a punchy shot there, Michelle,
0:08:48 > 0:08:51but I'm afraid an incorrect answer scores you 100 points.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Yeah, everyone from now on is just going to be checking out Andrew
0:08:54 > 0:08:56and seeing if he nods at their answers...
0:08:56 > 0:08:57and hanging their heads if he does.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Um, your memory's not completely deserting you,
0:08:59 > 0:09:02they've won two bronzes in their time, Kuwait,
0:09:02 > 0:09:05both in shooting and they did win... They won bronze in 2012 in London.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08I thought it was bronze, but I wasn't sure.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11If you really polished bronze it can sometimes have a golden hue.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Anyway... Thanks, Richard, we're halfway through the round.
0:09:14 > 0:09:15Let's take a look at those scores.
0:09:15 > 0:09:171, Katie, 1.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20Look at that! Katie and Dawn, reigning supreme at this point.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24Then we travel up to 4 where we find IK and Churchill,
0:09:24 > 0:09:25our nodding dog here,
0:09:25 > 0:09:30and then up to 100 where we find Michelle and Sam, Garry and Gavin.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32So we're going to come back down the line now,
0:09:32 > 0:09:34can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:09:37 > 0:09:40OK, Sam, remember, we're looking for the name of any modern-day country
0:09:40 > 0:09:44that has won at least one gold medal at a Summer Olympics.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Sam, what do you do?
0:09:46 > 0:09:50I'm in construction. Yeah, I work for myself as a builder.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52- How long have you worked for yourself?- Only ten months.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55So you were working for someone else's construction company?
0:09:55 > 0:09:57- Yeah, for 15 years, then I thought...- Oh, 15 years,
0:09:57 > 0:09:59and you suddenly thought, "Well, I can do this myself."
0:09:59 > 0:10:02- Did you take any people with you from the previous company?- Just me.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05- It's just you?- On me own. - Exciting, though?
0:10:05 > 0:10:06- Stressful.- Stressful?
0:10:06 > 0:10:09- Looking promising, though, for the next 12 to 18...?- It is now, yeah,
0:10:09 > 0:10:12now the winter is coming to an end it's looking better.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14- Very good. Well, a bit warmer, anyway.- Yeah.- Now, Sam,
0:10:14 > 0:10:17there you are on 100. We need a low score from you.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Mozambique.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23Mozambique, says Sam. Is that based on any actual knowledge or is it...?
0:10:23 > 0:10:27- No, no, it's a punt.- Fair enough! Let's see if it's right. No red line
0:10:27 > 0:10:29for you as you are joint high scorers.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31How many people said Mozambique?
0:10:33 > 0:10:35It's right.
0:10:35 > 0:10:36That's a good punt, Sam.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44Oh, look at that! Joint lowest score of the round, very well done indeed.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47Putting the pressure on Gavin there, but taking your total up to 101.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Very nicely played, Sam.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53Yeah, Maria Mutola won the gold in the 800m in Sydney.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57Thanks very much, Richard. Gavin. Welcome to Pointless.
0:10:57 > 0:11:01- And what do you do, Gavin?- I'm a police officer, just like Garry.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03- How long have you served alongside each other?- We've served together
0:11:03 > 0:11:06for three years but I've been in for a year longer.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09Right you are. OK, and what are your interests, Gavin?
0:11:09 > 0:11:12I like a lot of sport as well, like Garry. Football, golf,
0:11:12 > 0:11:14- I play a lot of golf. - Do you watch a lot of sport?
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Loads of sport, when I get the chance.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19Like maybe once every four years?
0:11:19 > 0:11:22- Ah... He's kind of forced my hand, I think, now.- He has a bit.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24- You know what we're looking for, Gavin, is a pointless answer.- Yeah.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28Which would be brilliant and I bet there are lots up there. I say lots,
0:11:28 > 0:11:29I mean, there's got to be some.
0:11:29 > 0:11:34Yeah. Think I'm going to have to take a punt at something like...
0:11:34 > 0:11:38- Barbados.- OK, Barbados, says Gavin.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41Barbados. I mean...
0:11:41 > 0:11:44I promise you there is a red line there, only I can see it, though.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46Let's see if Barbados is right.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50Get below that with your answer and you are in the next round.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Let's see how many people said Barbados.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58Oh, no!
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Oh, it was Monte Carlo or bust, I'm afraid, Gavin,
0:12:00 > 0:12:02and I'm afraid it's bust.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05I'm sorry. An incorrect answer scores you 100 points,
0:12:05 > 0:12:09- takes your total up to 200.- Yeah, again, just one bronze for Barbados
0:12:09 > 0:12:12in the 100m - Obadele Thompson.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15Not Daley Thompson, Obadele Thompson. It's different.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18- There is a difference.- Yeah.- Very good, thank you. I did wonder.- Yeah.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22Thanks very much, Richard. Now then, Dawn, welcome back.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25Oh, Katie, didn't she do brilliantly? First pass!
0:12:25 > 0:12:27She effectively has got you through to the next round.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30- Um, Dawn, remind us what you do. - I'm a retired nurse.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34- That's right. And what do you like getting up to?- I like to travel.
0:12:34 > 0:12:40I have family in the North anyway, and I like to watch Pointless.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43How rarely do people say that when I say, "What do you like doing?"
0:12:43 > 0:12:45I know, it's weird, that.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Perhaps not many people like watching it, you know?
0:12:47 > 0:12:50- Good point.- No, you would think, given they were on, that people...
0:12:50 > 0:12:53- I like it when people say that. - I love that! Thank you, Dawn,
0:12:53 > 0:12:57thank you for watching. Now, Dawn, as I say, you're through.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59But we can try and find a pointless answer....
0:12:59 > 0:13:02Lovely safety net there, doesn't matter if you score 100.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05Shall we see if we can find a really low-scoring one?
0:13:05 > 0:13:07I'm going to try. I'll say New Zealand.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10New Zealand. New Zealand, says Dawn. Sounds reasonable enough to me.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13No red line cos you're already through,
0:13:13 > 0:13:15but how many people said New Zealand?
0:13:23 > 0:13:2526.
0:13:25 > 0:13:2826, taking your total up to 27.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31Yeah, they won 42 gold medals, New Zealand,
0:13:31 > 0:13:33since they started competing.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35They started competing in 1920 as New Zealand.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37Used to be part of Australasia before that.
0:13:37 > 0:13:42Thanks very much, Richard. Andrew. Andrew, remind us what you do.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44I'm a client relations executive.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47And what's the company you do your relations with...?
0:13:47 > 0:13:49It's a fashion retail outlet, so...
0:13:49 > 0:13:52- I see.- What I do, I go out and meet, obviously, potential customers
0:13:52 > 0:13:55that come in and obviously buy the products that we need and...
0:13:55 > 0:14:00- Obviously, I'm a chatterbox, so I like to...- You're a born salesman.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03- Yes.- Do you take out samples with you and show the clothes,
0:14:03 > 0:14:06- the fashion...?- Not necessarily, cos I do send out information
0:14:06 > 0:14:08on what we do to potential...
0:14:08 > 0:14:12- Right, I see. - Money earning, you know...
0:14:12 > 0:14:14I see, Andrew. I kind of see.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17I see, Andrew. Now, listen, the great news is you're through.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19- Yes.- Shall we try and find a pointless answer?
0:14:19 > 0:14:23- It doesn't matter if you score 100. - Well, to be honest, I wanted to
0:14:23 > 0:14:25go for something that was, you know,
0:14:25 > 0:14:28just safe, but I want to try and go for a pointless answer.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30- Come on, let's have a pointless answer. Come on, Andrew!- Yes.
0:14:30 > 0:14:34So, I'm going to take a punt, OK? And I'm going to go for Namibia.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36- Namibia?- Yeah, Namibia. - Namibia, says Andrew.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38No red line, you're already through.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41Let's see how many of our 100 people said Namibia.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48Ooh! An incorrect answer but that was a free incorrect answer.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50It doesn't matter at all. It takes your total up to 104,
0:14:50 > 0:14:53- but you're through.- Four silvers for Namibia, all the same person,
0:14:53 > 0:14:56all Frankie Fredericks, but well done on going for a punt,
0:14:56 > 0:14:59that was the right thing to do. Lot of pointless answers out there.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01I'll go through some of the 1-pointers first cos I know
0:15:01 > 0:15:03lots of people will have had lots of different answers.
0:15:03 > 0:15:08One point for United Arab Emirates, Zimbabwe, Lithuania, Cuba, Mongolia,
0:15:08 > 0:15:11Estonia, North Korea, Bulgaria, Luxembourg and Peru.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14Let's take a look at the pointless answers now.
0:15:14 > 0:15:15Armenia would have been a pointless answer.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18They won one gold medal in wrestling.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Azerbaijan have won six - four of those were in wrestling.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23Now, Burundi have only ever won one medal of any colour
0:15:23 > 0:15:26and it was a gold and that was in the 5,000m.
0:15:26 > 0:15:27Ecuador won a walking gold.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29Slovakia have won seven golds, all in canoeing.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Slovenia had four golds.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34The Bahamas would have been a good answer.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36Five golds for them, four in athletics, one in sailing.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39Uruguay won two golds in football, way back when,
0:15:39 > 0:15:42and Venezuela have one for boxing and fencing.
0:15:42 > 0:15:43The other pointless answers...
0:15:43 > 0:15:47Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Grenada, Indonesia,
0:15:47 > 0:15:50Latvia, Panama, Suriname and Syria.
0:15:50 > 0:15:51Those are all the pointless answers.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53Let's take a look at the top three scorers,
0:15:53 > 0:15:55the ones that most of our 100 people said...
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Thank you very much, Richard. So, we are at the end of our first round.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09The pair we have to say goodbye to, Gavin and Garry. I'm so sorry.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12You both had exactly the right attitude, you were both looking for
0:16:12 > 0:16:15a nice low-scoring answer and taking a commendable risk, but I'm afraid
0:16:15 > 0:16:18it has cost you there, 200 points being the total,
0:16:18 > 0:16:21but we will see you again next time and, given that attitude,
0:16:21 > 0:16:23I'm sure you'll go much further next time. But meantime,
0:16:23 > 0:16:25thanks very much, Gavin and Garry!
0:16:26 > 0:16:30But for the remaining three pairs it's now time for Round Two.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37And so three pairs remain.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40At the end of this round, clearly we have to say goodbye to another pair
0:16:40 > 0:16:42in time for our head-to-head round, but very well done.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Some great scoring there. Sam, when it really counted, you found
0:16:45 > 0:16:47Mozambique, which was fantastic.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51And, Katie, superb, Trinidad and Tobago, lovely low scores there.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54And Nigeria, nice low score as well from you, IK.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56Best of luck to all three pairs,
0:16:56 > 0:16:59our category for Round Two this afternoon...
0:16:59 > 0:17:01is Science.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04Can you decide in your pairs who is going to go first,
0:17:04 > 0:17:07who's going to go second, and whoever's going first,
0:17:07 > 0:17:08please step up to the podium?
0:17:12 > 0:17:15OK, and the question is all about...
0:17:15 > 0:17:18Scientific Equipment, Richard.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21Yeah, we're going to give you six clues on each pass.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24The answers to all of them are pieces of equipment you might find
0:17:24 > 0:17:27in a science laboratory. So you are a material scientist or something,
0:17:27 > 0:17:29Michelle, I don't know. Six on each pass,
0:17:29 > 0:17:3212 in all to have a go at at home. The very best of luck.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35So, we're looking for the pieces of scientific equipment represented by
0:17:35 > 0:17:38these six clues. And here is our first board of six...
0:18:05 > 0:18:07I'm going to read that all again.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31So, IK, we come to you.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34OK, um...
0:18:34 > 0:18:36I know three for sure.
0:18:36 > 0:18:41So I'm now trying to decide which of the three I know will be the lowest.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43So I'll go for...
0:18:43 > 0:18:47incubator as the device used to grow...and so on.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51OK, there we are, the third one down. Incubator, says IK.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54Let's see if incubator's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:18:57 > 0:18:58It's right.
0:19:02 > 0:19:0445, not bad.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Not bad.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08Yeah, well played, IK.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Used for all sorts of things, obviously, incubators,
0:19:10 > 0:19:13but infant incubators is probably the most famous use of them.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16- Thanks, Richard. Katie. - So, I'm trying to think back
0:19:16 > 0:19:19- to my science lessons that I had at school...- Mm.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21..where we used to label all of the diagrams...
0:19:21 > 0:19:24I'm going to go for the bottom one
0:19:24 > 0:19:25and it is litmus paper.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Litmus paper, says Katie.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30Litmus paper, let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37- It is right. Oh! 76! - Ooh!- 76 for litmus paper.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43- Wow.- Well, that is something we all used at school, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45- Very few of us have used since. - Yeah.- Michelle has probably used it,
0:19:45 > 0:19:48but I don't remember the last time I used litmus paper.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50It's the only thing in childhood, apart from those lollipops,
0:19:50 > 0:19:53- that changed colour like that. - Now everything changes colour,
0:19:53 > 0:19:55but back in those days, that was the only thing.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Yeah. Thank you very much, Richard.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Now, Michelle. This is like a dream come true for you, isn't it?
0:20:00 > 0:20:03You can talk us through the board, and fill in all those blanks.
0:20:03 > 0:20:08So, an instrument used for measuring radiation is a Geiger counter.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11A long glass tube with the tap at the bottom is a burette.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14I can't think what the shallow liquid-filled apparatus...
0:20:14 > 0:20:16That's "something" tube maybe,
0:20:16 > 0:20:18but I can't think what the P might stand for.
0:20:18 > 0:20:22And then, three-legged frame used to support an apparatus is a tripod.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25I think I'm going to go with burette.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28I think that's the one to go for, isn't it? Burette. Let's see
0:20:28 > 0:20:29how many of our 100 people said it.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35It's right. 76, our high score, which you pass.
0:20:35 > 0:20:3745's our low score, which you pass.
0:20:37 > 0:20:38Burette's a good answer, Michelle.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40There it goes, down to 10.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42Nicely done.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48Well played. Well done for saying "burre-ette", cos I would have said
0:20:48 > 0:20:51"burr-it" and I would have looked an idiot, so you've helped me out.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54Of the ones you knew, you went for the right one cos the other two -
0:20:54 > 0:20:57Geiger counter is correct, 61 points,
0:20:57 > 0:20:59and tripod, an even bigger scorer...
0:20:59 > 0:21:01Tripod would have scored you 69 points.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05Now, this other one is a pointless answer. Um, I don't know...
0:21:05 > 0:21:08If anyone at home got this, very well done.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11It's not a tube, it's a trough and it's a pneumatic trough.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14Very well done if you said that.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17Now, I would like a pneumatic trough. That would be amazing.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20- Wouldn't it?- The stuff we'd get up to if we had a pneumatic trough.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23Actually, that's a good point. I think maybe if someone lent us one,
0:21:23 > 0:21:26you don't want to give us one because then that would be...
0:21:26 > 0:21:28- Oh, yeah, yeah. We'd never turn up for work again.- Yeah.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31Right, well, look, what a lot of people don't know is this area
0:21:31 > 0:21:33in front of us here, that's a pneumatic trough.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36- That goes down for 14 miles. - It does.- It's an amazing...
0:21:36 > 0:21:39It's so deep down there that when James Cameron came on Pointless
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Celebrities, he got in a submarine and went down to the bottom of it,
0:21:41 > 0:21:44- didn't he?- And has never been heard of since.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47He went down there, he found two old Pointless trophies,
0:21:47 > 0:21:49one of my pens and Chico.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52LAUGHTER
0:21:52 > 0:21:55Thanks very much, Richard. Well, we're halfway through the round,
0:21:55 > 0:21:58so let's take a look at those scores. Well done, Michelle,
0:21:58 > 0:22:01that's exactly the kind of score we would have expected and wanted
0:22:01 > 0:22:03from you. Michelle and Sam looking very strong.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06Then up to 45 where we find IK and Andrew,
0:22:06 > 0:22:08then up to 76 where we find Katie and Dawn.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11So, yes, Dawn, we need a low-scoring answer from you.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14Good luck with that. We're going to come back down the line now.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:22:19 > 0:22:22OK, let's put six more clues up on the board and here they are.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24We've got...
0:22:58 > 0:22:59I'm going to read those again.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29Sam, you're on 10. The high-scorers, Dawn and Katie, at this point on 76.
0:23:29 > 0:23:33So 65 or less gets you into the head-to-head.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36I know a few of them.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38I'm going to go for the top one.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42- Petri dish?- Petri dish, says Sam. Petri dish. Here is your red line,
0:23:42 > 0:23:45you need to get below that to be sure of a place in the head-to-head.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48Let's see how many of our 100 people said petri dish.
0:23:51 > 0:23:52It's right.
0:23:52 > 0:23:5572, not bad, though.
0:23:55 > 0:23:5872, taking your total up to 82.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01Yeah, developed in the 19th century by Julius Petri.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05I don't know how you would develop it, it's just a dish, isn't it?
0:24:05 > 0:24:08- You know what I mean?- Was Petri a scientist or just a glassware man?
0:24:08 > 0:24:09Um... I dunno.
0:24:09 > 0:24:10LAUGHTER
0:24:10 > 0:24:13I'm guessing he was some sort of scientist.
0:24:13 > 0:24:17- Thank you very much, Richard. Now, Dawn.- Hi.- Dawn.
0:24:17 > 0:24:18I know a couple of them, I think.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22- Yeah.- I'm going to go for the bottom one and it's a pipette, I think.
0:24:22 > 0:24:23- A pipette?- A pipette.
0:24:23 > 0:24:28Now, ideally, you'd be scoring 5 or less to avoid becoming high scorers.
0:24:28 > 0:24:29Let's see what you do with pipette.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32Here is your red line, it's very low.
0:24:35 > 0:24:36It's right.
0:24:39 > 0:24:4363. Well, you might have kept yourself in the game.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46139 is your total.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49Yeah, Julius Petri tried to get it renamed the "pip-petri"...
0:24:49 > 0:24:54He was...empire-building. It's from the French for "little pipe."
0:24:54 > 0:24:57Very nice, thank you. Now, Andrew.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59Andrew, you need to score 93 or less.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Do you think you can talk us through this board?
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Um, my science knowledge is a bit rusty,
0:25:04 > 0:25:07but because I know I'm through and hopefully I am,
0:25:07 > 0:25:10I'm just going to play it safe. And I'm going to go for the slender
0:25:10 > 0:25:13straight glass container that is open at the top and usually U-shaped
0:25:13 > 0:25:15at the bottom, which is test tube..
0:25:15 > 0:25:18Test tube. Test tube, says Andrew. As I mentioned,
0:25:18 > 0:25:20you have to score 93 or less. It's nice and high, that red line.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22If you can get below it,
0:25:22 > 0:25:24you are definitely through to the head-to-head.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26How many people said test tube?
0:25:30 > 0:25:31It's right and you're through.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34Very well done, 75.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37Taking your total up to 120.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40Did exactly what you needed to do there, Andrew, well done.
0:25:40 > 0:25:44There is an even bigger score up there on that board, which is BB...
0:25:44 > 0:25:47- Bunsen burner.- Bunsen burner. Scored 92 points.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49A lot of alliterative ones...
0:25:49 > 0:25:52- Well, three.- Yeah, CC. Michelle, do you know what CC is?
0:25:52 > 0:25:55- I don't.- It's a lovely one, it's a cloud chamber.
0:25:55 > 0:25:56- Ah!- Cloud chamber.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58That's a good name for an invention. 5 points.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01Got a lot of names, hasn't he, Charles Thomas Rees Wilson?
0:26:01 > 0:26:04- Hasn't he?- How about that? - He needs a name chamber.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07- He does, really, doesn't he?- Yeah.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11And Emil Erlenmeyer invented the conical flask.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13Would have scored you 13 points.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15So cloud chamber is the best answer on that board,
0:26:15 > 0:26:18- as well as the coolest answer. - Thank you very much, Richard.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21So, we are at the end of our second round and I'm sorry to say,
0:26:21 > 0:26:23Dawn and Katie, one of our returning pairs,
0:26:23 > 0:26:25we have to send you home now with your high score of 139.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28Thank you for coming to play. It's been wonderful having you on.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31I'm sorry we're saying goodbye so soon, but brilliant contestants,
0:26:31 > 0:26:33thank you so much. Dawn and Katie.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38But for our remaining two pairs, it's now time for the head-to-head.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48Congratulations, Michelle and Sam, Andrew and IK. You're now one step
0:26:48 > 0:26:51closer to the final and a chance to play for our jackpot
0:26:51 > 0:26:53which currently stands at £2,000.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55- AUDIENCE:- Whoo!
0:26:57 > 0:26:59Well, here we are. Head-to-head.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02It means you are now allowed to confer before you give your answers.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07Now, Andrew and IK, you were here last time.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11Last time you went with Andrew... I'm not saying this time you have to
0:27:11 > 0:27:14go with IK, but I'm imagining you'll have had a little chat about this
0:27:14 > 0:27:16since last time. Um, IK was ignored
0:27:16 > 0:27:20and they went with Andrew's answer and that's why we got to see you
0:27:20 > 0:27:23again, which was nice. Michelle and Sam, look at this,
0:27:23 > 0:27:26this is a place in the head-to-head, built entirely on burette and
0:27:26 > 0:27:31Mozambique. And sturdier foundations than that I cannot think of.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43Here is your first question. And it concerns...
0:27:46 > 0:27:47Animals With Horns, Richard.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50We're going to show you five pictures of animals that have horns.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53We're also going to give you alternate letters of their names.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56Can you identify the most obscure, please?
0:27:56 > 0:27:59OK, let's reveal our five animals with horns and here they are.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27OK, there are our five horny animals. Now, Michelle and Sam,
0:28:27 > 0:28:30you will go first cos you've been our low scorers.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32Feel free to confer.
0:28:32 > 0:28:33THEY WHISPER
0:28:45 > 0:28:48It's a bit of a guess, but I think A is impala.
0:28:48 > 0:28:51Impala for A, say Michelle and Sam.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54Impala for A. Now then, Andrew and IK,
0:28:54 > 0:28:56do you want to talk us through the rest of the board?
0:28:56 > 0:28:59So, um... We think B
0:28:59 > 0:29:02is white rhinoceros and D, mountain goat.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04Can't think of...
0:29:04 > 0:29:07Wildebeest would not fit in there.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10So we're going to go for, um, D - mountain goat.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13D - mountain goat. We have impala, we have mountain goat.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16Michelle and Sam went for impala for A, let's see if that's right.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:29:23 > 0:29:24It's right.
0:29:25 > 0:29:2763.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34Andrew and IK, meanwhile, have gone for mountain goat for D.
0:29:34 > 0:29:38Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said it.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43It's right.
0:29:43 > 0:29:45And it wins you the point, well done.
0:29:45 > 0:29:4748 for mountain goat, good enough.
0:29:47 > 0:29:51Well done. Andrew and IK, after one question you are up 1-0.
0:29:51 > 0:29:55Yeah, well played. You're right about white rhinoceros...
0:29:57 > 0:29:59It's a big scorer, 78 points for that.
0:30:01 > 0:30:03The best answer on the board is C, can you work out...?
0:30:03 > 0:30:05I'm going to guess it's Jackson's chameleon?
0:30:05 > 0:30:07Correct, Jackson's chameleon.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10Very well done. 9 points, well done if you said that.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12There is also a Jackson's chameleon in this picture,
0:30:12 > 0:30:14just behind on the left there(!)
0:30:14 > 0:30:16And it's a wildebeest,
0:30:16 > 0:30:18there's not much that can fit in that first thing.
0:30:18 > 0:30:19Blue? It doesn't look blue...
0:30:19 > 0:30:22Actually, he does look a bit blue, he doesn't look thrilled, does he?
0:30:22 > 0:30:25It is the blue wildebeest. He used to be the brown wildebeest then they
0:30:25 > 0:30:29tested it with litmus paper and now he's the blue wildebeest.
0:30:29 > 0:30:3117 points for that.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34I love the impala sticking its tongue out, that's nice.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36I know, it's cute, isn't it?
0:30:36 > 0:30:39Very black tongued, or do you think it's just been eating blueberries?
0:30:39 > 0:30:43The impala? Yes, it feeds largely on blueberries and liquorice.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46Thank you very much, Richard. Now, here comes your second question.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48Andrew and IK, you get to answer it first, but, Michelle and Sam,
0:30:48 > 0:30:51you have to win this one to stay in the game. So best of luck.
0:30:51 > 0:30:55Our second question this afternoon is all about...
0:30:55 > 0:30:58Vladimir Putin, Richard.
0:30:58 > 0:31:02Yeah, five clues now to facts about Vladimir Putin. Depending on when
0:31:02 > 0:31:04this is shown cos sometimes it's a few months in advance, I'd just like
0:31:04 > 0:31:07to welcome Mr Putin as our leader and say...
0:31:07 > 0:31:09LAUGHTER
0:31:09 > 0:31:12..Xander and I are very big fans, very big fans of your work.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15If you ever need anything done or presented, you know where we are.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18Yeah, we've got his calendar in the make-up room.
0:31:18 > 0:31:23- Yeah, love that guy.- Yeah. Uh, thank you. OK, let's reveal our five clues
0:31:23 > 0:31:25about Vladimir Putin and here they are.
0:31:47 > 0:31:49I shall read those all again.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10Andrew and IK will go first.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12THEY WHISPER
0:32:22 > 0:32:25OK, so we're going to go...
0:32:25 > 0:32:27um, for the third one -
0:32:27 > 0:32:30he became acting president after the resignation of Boris Yeltsin.
0:32:30 > 0:32:35Um, Boris Yeltsin, say Andrew and IK. Now, Michelle and Sam,
0:32:35 > 0:32:37what would you like to go for? You can talk through all of those
0:32:37 > 0:32:39if you like - do your musing out loud.
0:32:39 > 0:32:43I think he was born in the '60s...
0:32:43 > 0:32:46I'll have a guess at karate for the bottom one,
0:32:46 > 0:32:50but I think we're going to go with the second one and the KGB?
0:32:50 > 0:32:54The KGB. So, we have Boris Yeltsin and we have the KGB.
0:32:54 > 0:32:55Andrew and IK said Boris John...
0:32:55 > 0:32:57HE LAUGHS
0:32:57 > 0:32:59LAUGHTER
0:33:01 > 0:33:03- Ah, dear!- Again, again...
0:33:03 > 0:33:05If this is being shown in a few months' time -
0:33:05 > 0:33:08big fans of yours as well, Boris.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11Also big shout out to Mr Trump. Hello, sir.
0:33:11 > 0:33:13Yeah. We've got...
0:33:13 > 0:33:17Boris, we've got your calendar up in our make-up room.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19So, Boris Yeltsin, say Andrew and IK. Let's see if that's right,
0:33:19 > 0:33:22let's see how many of our 100 people said Boris Yeltsin.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32It's a good answer, look at that, down it goes to 12!
0:33:32 > 0:33:34Very well done indeed, Andrew and IK.
0:33:34 > 0:33:3612 for Boris Yeltsin.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41Once again, setting the bar very, very low,
0:33:41 > 0:33:44but you know what I mean when I say low. High, but low, for Michelle
0:33:44 > 0:33:47and Sam, uh, who have gone for the KGB.
0:33:47 > 0:33:51Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said KGB.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56Again, it's right.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58Got a long way down to go...
0:33:58 > 0:34:00Oh! 37 for KGB.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05Well, two good answers there. But very well done,
0:34:05 > 0:34:09Andrew and IK, after two questions, you are through to the final 2-0.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11Yeah, very well played, gents. Funnily enough,
0:34:11 > 0:34:14those bottom two answers would actually have beaten that score.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16But we'll take a look at the top one, he was born...
0:34:16 > 0:34:20He was born in the '50s, Putin, born in 1952. 19 points for that.
0:34:20 > 0:34:22The brand of vintage Russian car...
0:34:22 > 0:34:24This is the best answer and it's called a Volga.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27They don't make them any more, would have scored you 1 point.
0:34:27 > 0:34:28And the instructional DVD...
0:34:28 > 0:34:32Now, this would have beaten Boris Yeltsin. If you'd said karate...
0:34:32 > 0:34:34you'd still be out, cos it was judo.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36Judo was the answer. 11 points for that.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39Have you ever seen that brilliant - ah, well, actually, it's April
0:34:39 > 0:34:42on our calendar - him doing judo with a lion!
0:34:42 > 0:34:43- Oh, yeah, yeah.- Yeah, that's good.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46The lion just going, "You're really good at judo, dude."
0:34:46 > 0:34:48- Yeah.- And him just going...
0:34:48 > 0:34:52"Yeah... Yeah, I do a little judo, you know."
0:34:52 > 0:34:55Uh, so the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:34:55 > 0:34:57I'm afraid, Michelle and Sam, it is you. But good news for us - we get
0:34:57 > 0:35:00to see you again next time and we will look forward to that very much.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03But meantime, thanks very much, Michelle and Sam.
0:35:05 > 0:35:09But for Andrew and IK, it's time for our Pointless final.
0:35:13 > 0:35:17Congratulations, Andrew and IK, you've seen off all the competition
0:35:17 > 0:35:19and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:25 > 0:35:28You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot and at the end of
0:35:28 > 0:35:32today's show, the jackpot is standing at £2,000.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34- AUDIENCE:- Whoo!
0:35:35 > 0:35:38But I think we've tested you, we've tested you pretty well.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40We started off with Olympic gold medal winners,
0:35:40 > 0:35:43then we had science equipment, then we had horny animals
0:35:43 > 0:35:46and then we had Vladimir Putin.
0:35:46 > 0:35:50Anything you would particularly like to see come up in this last round?
0:35:50 > 0:35:54Um, sport, music, movies...
0:35:54 > 0:35:56politics. I'm only joking about politics, by the way.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59Right. Be careful what you wish for, IK.
0:35:59 > 0:36:02Well, listen, as you know, you get four things on the board,
0:36:02 > 0:36:04you just have to choose one that you like the look of.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06Today's choices are...
0:36:16 > 0:36:18What do you think?
0:36:18 > 0:36:21I don't know anything about US...
0:36:21 > 0:36:23German World Cup Finals...
0:36:23 > 0:36:26- You're good at football, though. - Yeah, football. Yeah.
0:36:26 > 0:36:28- But The Letter W sounds a bit interesting...- Yeah, interesting,
0:36:28 > 0:36:30but it could be anything.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33Um... It could be about wildebeest, it could be anything.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36You know what I think...? True, true.
0:36:36 > 0:36:38I think you're good at football...
0:36:38 > 0:36:41- We'll go for German World Cup Finals.- Yeah? OK, yeah.
0:36:41 > 0:36:44OK, German World Cup Finals it is.
0:36:44 > 0:36:45OK, very best of luck, gents.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47You've been terrific all the way through two shows.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50I hope you find something here that helps you to that jackpot.
0:36:50 > 0:36:53We're looking for anyone who played in any of the following three games.
0:36:53 > 0:36:57So anyone who played in the 1974 World Cup final between West Germany
0:36:57 > 0:37:00and the Netherlands. Anyone who played in the 2002 World Cup final
0:37:00 > 0:37:01between Germany and Brazil.
0:37:01 > 0:37:05Or anybody who played in the 2014 World Cup final between Germany
0:37:05 > 0:37:08and Argentina. So anyone who played in any of those games, please,
0:37:08 > 0:37:11for either side... If they were a substitute and they came on
0:37:11 > 0:37:13the pitch, they are allowed.
0:37:13 > 0:37:16So anyone who played on either of those teams in those three games.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18- Very, very best of luck. - Thanks very much, Richard.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21Now, as always, you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers
0:37:21 > 0:37:24and all you need to win that jackpot is for just one of your answers
0:37:24 > 0:37:26to be pointless. Are you ready?
0:37:26 > 0:37:28- Yes.- OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31- There they are, your time starts now.- OK.
0:37:31 > 0:37:35So all you just need to know now is, like, who was in...
0:37:35 > 0:37:36- Just one of them.- Yeah,
0:37:36 > 0:37:40who was in the German squad or the Argentina squad in 2014.
0:37:40 > 0:37:44- Lothar Matthaus.- Lothar Matthaus?
0:37:44 > 0:37:46Lothar Matthaus? That was '82.
0:37:46 > 0:37:49- Was it?- Yeah. No, no, no... - Sorry.- 2004.
0:37:49 > 0:37:51- Edmundo.- Edmundo.
0:37:51 > 0:37:55- In 2002.- Denilson. - Yes... 2002.
0:37:55 > 0:38:00- And...? Denilson.- Are you sure? Not '98? That was '98, right?
0:38:00 > 0:38:02- No, I think 2002. - OK.- Denilson. OK, OK.
0:38:02 > 0:38:04Uh...
0:38:04 > 0:38:08- 2014, I'll go... - For Argentina?
0:38:08 > 0:38:11- Marcos Rojo.- Marcos Rojo? - Marcos Rojo.- OK.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14So Marcos Rojo, Denilson and...
0:38:17 > 0:38:19And...what else?
0:38:19 > 0:38:22- Ten seconds left.- Johan Cruyff. Johan Cruyff, 1974.
0:38:22 > 0:38:26- No, no, everyone is going to know Johan Cruyff.- Um...
0:38:26 > 0:38:27- Beckenbauer.- Beckenbauer.
0:38:27 > 0:38:31- But everybody is going to know him too, right?- Um...Lothar Matthaus.
0:38:31 > 0:38:32OK, that is your time.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35That minute is never long enough, I'm afraid. But I now need
0:38:35 > 0:38:38your three answers and if you could say which year you're talking about
0:38:38 > 0:38:41- for each one.- Yes, so...
0:38:41 > 0:38:45Um, in 2002, against Brazil, Denilson.
0:38:45 > 0:38:47- Denilson.- Denilson? - Yeah.- Marcos Rojo.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50- No, no, no. Which category is Marcos Rojo?- 2014.
0:38:50 > 0:38:54- Argentina, right?- Argentina.- OK, so Marcos Rojo.- 2014, Marcos Rojo.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57And 1974, Rep.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00Rep, OK. Very good indeed. Of those three, which do you think
0:39:00 > 0:39:02is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:39:02 > 0:39:05I'd say if Rep is right, then it would be right.
0:39:05 > 0:39:09- Yes.- OK, so, Rep we'll put last. Least likely to be pointless?
0:39:09 > 0:39:11- Denilson.- Denilson. - Denilson goes first.
0:39:11 > 0:39:14OK, well, let's put those answers up on the board in that order
0:39:14 > 0:39:16and here they are.
0:39:16 > 0:39:17We have got...
0:39:20 > 0:39:23Well, the very best of luck. Three answers on the board there,
0:39:23 > 0:39:26let's hope at least one of those is pointless and will win that jackpot
0:39:26 > 0:39:29for you. £2,000 is today's jackpot, what would you do if you won that,
0:39:29 > 0:39:34- Andrew?- I would like to take my missus out on a night,
0:39:34 > 0:39:37take her out for a nice treat. She's been very supportive of everything
0:39:37 > 0:39:39I've been doing and I feel I owe her one.
0:39:39 > 0:39:43- Very good, thanks so much, Andrew. IK, how about you?- I would say...
0:39:43 > 0:39:46- a parachute jump.- A parachute jump?
0:39:46 > 0:39:48- Yeah.- OK.- I've been thinking about it for a while.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51- So if you win the jackpot, you are on?- I am on.- That is it.
0:39:51 > 0:39:52Your word is your bond?
0:39:52 > 0:39:54But you're a health and safety manager, aren't you?
0:39:54 > 0:39:57LAUGHTER
0:39:59 > 0:40:02OK, your first answer was Denilson. In this case, we were looking for
0:40:02 > 0:40:06anyone who played in the 2002 Fifa World Cup final. This, you thought,
0:40:06 > 0:40:09was probably the one that was least likely to be pointless, but only one
0:40:09 > 0:40:11of these has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot.
0:40:11 > 0:40:14So, for £2,000, let's see how many people said Denilson.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16Is it pointless?
0:40:19 > 0:40:20- It's right.- Well done.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22That was the first thing it had to be.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25Now, if Denilson takes us all the way down to 0 you will leave here
0:40:25 > 0:40:27immediately with £2,000.
0:40:27 > 0:40:31Down we go, into single figures, still going down...
0:40:31 > 0:40:32You've done it!
0:40:32 > 0:40:34CHEERING
0:40:39 > 0:40:42Very well done indeed. Very well done indeed.
0:40:43 > 0:40:44OK.
0:40:52 > 0:40:53Well, congratulations!
0:40:53 > 0:40:56Your first answer, Denilson, was a pointless answer,
0:40:56 > 0:41:00which means you go home with that jackpot of £2,000,
0:41:00 > 0:41:02very, very well done indeed, Andrew and IK.
0:41:02 > 0:41:04Brilliant.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08That was very well played.
0:41:08 > 0:41:11You've been terrific for two shows now, gents, congratulations.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13Let's move on to your other answers. Marcos Rojo, obviously, much more
0:41:13 > 0:41:17well-known, but also a pointless answer.
0:41:17 > 0:41:19CHEERING
0:41:21 > 0:41:23And Johnny Rep, who, when I was growing up,
0:41:23 > 0:41:26absolutely my favourite player, Johnny Rep, the Dutch player...
0:41:26 > 0:41:29- also a pointless answer.- Oh, wow! - Yes, come on!
0:41:35 > 0:41:38Well played, gents. Now, lots of pointless answers in all these
0:41:38 > 0:41:41categories and I know people at home will have got some of these, so I'll
0:41:41 > 0:41:44go through them as quickly as I can. The 1974 World Cup final...
0:41:44 > 0:41:47You could have had Berti Vogts, who became Scotland manager.
0:41:47 > 0:41:50There's Johnny Rep. You could have had Paul Breitner, Wim Jansen.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52You could have had Arie Haan.

0:41:55 > 0:41:58Uh, Wolfgang Overath... All sorts of names on that list.

0:42:06 > 0:42:08Also Bernd Schneider, Ramelow, Metzelder, Edmilson.
0:42:08 > 0:42:11Jens Jeremies was a pointless answer. Bode and Linke,
0:42:11 > 0:42:13both of those pointless.
0:42:13 > 0:42:17In fact, those are all the pointless answers for that category. 2014...
0:42:17 > 0:42:20Higuain was a pointless answer. So some big names on this list.
0:42:20 > 0:42:22Marcos Rojo, Mats Hummels...
0:42:22 > 0:42:24Pablo Zabaleta is a pointless answer.
0:42:24 > 0:42:28Kramer, Perez, Garay, Lavezzi, Gago, Biglia, Demichelis,
0:42:28 > 0:42:31Palacio and Sergio Romero, all pointless answers.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33So very well done if you said any of those at home.
0:42:33 > 0:42:36Guys, you cannot play Pointless any better than that.
0:42:36 > 0:42:37That's absolutely terrific stuff.
0:42:37 > 0:42:41So to go with your money and your trophies, I also give you this -
0:42:41 > 0:42:43Jackson's Chameleon - very, very well done, gents.
0:42:43 > 0:42:46LAUGHTER

0:42:53 > 0:42:56who go away with today's jackpot of £2,000.
0:42:56 > 0:42:59CHEERING
0:42:59 > 0:43:02Join us next time when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge
0:43:02 > 0:43:04to the test on Pointless. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...
0:43:04 > 0:43:07- Goodbye.- And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
