0:00:18 > 0:00:21CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:21 > 0:00:23Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong.
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to Pointless, the show that puts obscure knowledge to the test.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29Let's meet today's players.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34And couple number one.
0:00:34 > 0:00:38Hi, I'm LJ, I'm from Leeds and this is my identical twin sister,
0:00:38 > 0:00:40Alison, and she's from Wakefield.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42- Couple number two.- Hi, I'm Gavin,
0:00:42 > 0:00:44this is my friend and colleague, Garry, and we are from Edinburgh.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47- Couple number three.- Hi, I'm Rula, from Bedfordshire,
0:00:47 > 0:00:50and this is our family friend, Peter Smith, from Essex.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52And finally, couple number four.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Michelle, this is my partner, Sam.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57We're from Birmingham originally but now live in Ware in Hertfordshire.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59And these are today's contestants.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01A very warm welcome to all.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05Thanks very much. We'll find out more about you throughout the show
0:01:05 > 0:01:06as it goes along.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08So that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11The Crown Prince of Picky, the Dauphin of Dour,
0:01:11 > 0:01:13its my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16Hiya. Hi, everybody.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21- The Dauphin of Dour?- That's what they're calling you.- I like it.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23Even now, they're just writing that
0:01:23 > 0:01:25- in sequins on the back of your dressing gown.- Dauphin of Dour...
0:01:25 > 0:01:28If I'm ever on Strictly, that's what they could call me.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30I never will be, by the way!
0:01:30 > 0:01:33Two returning pairs from last time. Garry and Gavin, welcome back,
0:01:33 > 0:01:36unlucky to get knocked out in round one.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39Both went for tough answers but both scored 100 points,
0:01:39 > 0:01:40so members of the 200 Club.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Lovely to have you back. And on podium four there, Michelle and Sam,
0:01:43 > 0:01:46who got knocked out in our head-to-head by Andrew and IK.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48And they were a very strong team, Andrew and IK, weren't they?
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Went through to that jackpot round.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Three pointless answers from Andrew and IK.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57- Really impressive stuff, wasn't it? - Yeah.- Very, very, very good stuff.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59So, the jackpot comes down again. But it's an open field.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03Welcome to our new pairs. Peter and Rula, welcome. And identical twins
0:02:03 > 0:02:06on podium one, which you wouldn't know at first sight, would you?
0:02:06 > 0:02:08THEY LAUGH
0:02:08 > 0:02:12- No! No, yes, no! - But it's going to be a lot of fun.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14You'll have to go at some to beat IK and Andrew.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18I think you do. There we are. Thank you, Richard. Thank you.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21As you've gathered, Andrew and IK won the jackpot last time.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25But we start off with our lovely, small jackpot of £1,000.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28There we are. Right, if everyone is ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37OK, the pair with the highest score at the end of each round will be
0:02:37 > 0:02:41eliminated. So just try as hard as you can not be that pair,
0:02:41 > 0:02:44is what I'm saying. Now, no conferring in the first two rounds.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Our first category today...
0:02:47 > 0:02:49..is musicians with honours.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52Musicians with honours. Can you all decide in your pairs, please,
0:02:52 > 0:02:55who's going to go first, who is going to go second.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05OK. And the question concerns...
0:03:05 > 0:03:08musical knights and dames.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Musical knights and dames, Richard.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13On each board, we're going to show you descriptions of seven people
0:03:13 > 0:03:16involved in music who have either received a knighthood or a damehood.
0:03:16 > 0:03:17You need to tell us who they are.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19We're also going to give you their initials.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21There will be 7 on each board, 14 in all to have a go at at home.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23- Very best of luck.- Thanks very much.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27So let's reveal our first board of seven clues to musical knights and
0:03:27 > 0:03:29dames, and here they are. We've got...
0:04:06 > 0:04:08I'm going to read those one last time.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45LJ, welcome to Pointless. Great to have you here.
0:04:45 > 0:04:46What do you do, LJ?
0:04:46 > 0:04:49I'm a student cardiac physiologist, at the moment.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53Wow. Now, have you got a, sort of, foundation medical degree?
0:04:53 > 0:04:57- Or have you just...? - No, I started off with nursing,
0:04:57 > 0:04:59- so I did my first year of adult nursing.- Right.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02I broke my back partway through that. And I had to...
0:05:02 > 0:05:05- That's above and beyond the call, LJ, really!- I know!
0:05:05 > 0:05:09- How did you do that?- I fell down the stairs, at her house.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11LAUGHTER
0:05:11 > 0:05:14- Alison...- I carry a lot of guilt for it, yeah!
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Yeah. Wow. Anyway, you're fine?
0:05:16 > 0:05:18- I'm fine.- Everything's OK? - I'm walking, it's just,
0:05:18 > 0:05:21nursing is too physical, so I transferred to cardiac physiology.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23- OK, and enjoying it?- Love it.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Yeah. Excellent. Now, musical knights and dames, LJ?
0:05:26 > 0:05:30- How we feel about this board? - Not good. I know a couple.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34And the one that I'm confident with
0:05:34 > 0:05:38is the Welsh singer with Big Spender, Shirley Bassey.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41Shirley Bassey, says LJ. Let's see if that's right.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45Let's see how many of our 100 people said Shirley Bassey.
0:05:48 > 0:05:49It's right.
0:05:49 > 0:05:5165.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Not bad. Not bad.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57- Good damage limitation. - Yeah, became a dame in 2000,
0:05:57 > 0:06:00which was 43 years after her first hit single.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Impressive. Now, Gavin.
0:06:02 > 0:06:03Gavin, welcome back.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07We were sorry to see the back of you last time, cos you were gutsy.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11You went out there looking for low scoring answers and you happened to
0:06:11 > 0:06:14score big. But this time I feel sure it will be different.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17- Remind us what you do, Gavin. - I'm a police officer from Edinburgh.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19And what do you like getting up to, up there in Edinburgh?
0:06:19 > 0:06:22I play a lot of sport, play a lot of golf.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Play a lot of football as well.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28I'm a bit concerned they are two officers shy in Edinburgh right now!
0:06:28 > 0:06:31- I know. - Have you got pagers?
0:06:31 > 0:06:33That's quite old-fashioned, isn't it? Pagers!
0:06:33 > 0:06:37- Sorry, mobile phones maybe!- I believe I saw a police box outside,
0:06:37 > 0:06:39I wonder if you could use that!
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Might you get summoned?
0:06:42 > 0:06:43- Definitely not!- OK, OK.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46We're the last two folk they'll call on!
0:06:46 > 0:06:49I don't believe that for a second, Gavin.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Now, what would you like to go for on our board of musical knights and
0:06:52 > 0:06:56- dames?- I only know one answer that's left, so I'm going to go for the
0:06:56 > 0:06:59actress that was in The Sound Of Music and say Julie Andrews.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Julie Andrews, says Gavin.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Let's see how many of our 100 people also said Julie Andrews.
0:07:07 > 0:07:08It's right...
0:07:08 > 0:07:1079.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14But, again, good damage limitation there.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17Yeah, and also became a dame in 2000, Julie Andrews.
0:07:17 > 0:07:22Thanks very much, Richard. Now, Peter, a warm welcome to Pointless.
0:07:22 > 0:07:23What do you do, Peter?
0:07:23 > 0:07:26- I'm a schoolteacher. - What do you teach?
0:07:26 > 0:07:29- Mathematics. - Mathematics.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Peter, what are your hobbies?
0:07:31 > 0:07:37I go to country houses and my lawn is a bit of a...
0:07:37 > 0:07:41- must.- In what condition is your lawn now, Peter?
0:07:41 > 0:07:45Fairly rough! I did get some advice on a plane once
0:07:45 > 0:07:47from a head groundsman, who said,
0:07:47 > 0:07:52"Top dress the lawn three times - in September, October and November."
0:07:52 > 0:07:54- Oh, that's easy!- And how often do you top dress your lawn?
0:07:54 > 0:07:57- To be honest...- I wouldn't know how to.- I wouldn't know how to.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59I was thinking maybe a blouse?
0:07:59 > 0:08:02That would be nice. That really would be nice.
0:08:02 > 0:08:03With matching earrings.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Yeah. That's the kind of top dressing I'm thinking of.
0:08:06 > 0:08:07Yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11Anyway. So, Peter, what would you like to go for?
0:08:11 > 0:08:13I know most of them.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16I suspect the two that I don't know are the low scorers.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19So I'm going to go for Nellie Melba.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Nellie Melba. Nellie Melba, says Peter.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25Let's see how many of our 100 people got that.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32It's our lowest score so far.
0:08:32 > 0:08:33That we know. Look at that.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Down to 25. Very well done, Peter, great score.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Very well played, Peter. Yeah, she became a dame in 1918.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Sam, welcome back.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49- Remind us what you do, Sam. - I work for myself as a builder.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Do you build any kind of building?
0:08:52 > 0:08:55- Do you largely do residential buildings?- Yeah, it's mainly houses.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58- I just work on houses, extensions and things like that.- Very nice.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02And Sam is available if you're in the Ware area of Hertfordshire!
0:09:02 > 0:09:06There we are. Sam, what would you like to go for on this board?
0:09:06 > 0:09:09It's all yours. You can fill in all the blanks for us, if you like.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12The top one, I can't remember.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14And the bottom one...
0:09:16 > 0:09:19I saw it... I know it but I can't remember it.
0:09:19 > 0:09:24I'll have to go for the Pinner-born singer-pianist, Elton John?
0:09:24 > 0:09:27Elton John, says Sam. Let's see if that's right.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Elton John.
0:09:32 > 0:09:33Well, it's right.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36By no means our highest score.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Look at that, 46!
0:09:38 > 0:09:39Did all right there, Sam.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45See, isn't that interesting? He's so famous, but, given that clue,
0:09:45 > 0:09:49perhaps it's complicated, which is why he scores 46 rather than a much
0:09:49 > 0:09:51higher score. Now, the rest of this board.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53- The top one?- Evelyn Glennie.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Evelyn Glennie, correct.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Would have scored 15 points.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59Let's go right down the bottom,
0:09:59 > 0:10:01- with the New Zealand-born opera singer.- Kiri Te Kanawa.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05- Yeah, she played Nellie Melba, in Downton Abbey.- So she did!- Yeah.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07- Well that's nice. - 32 points.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09And do you know the pianist?
0:10:09 > 0:10:11I can't remember.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13- It is George...- George Shearing!
0:10:13 > 0:10:15- Thank you very much. - It's a pleasure. 3 points,
0:10:15 > 0:10:19so well done if you got that without me giving you half the answer!
0:10:19 > 0:10:21LAUGHTER
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Thanks very much indeed, Richard. We're halfway through the round,
0:10:23 > 0:10:26let's take a look at those scores. 25 is the best score at the pass.
0:10:26 > 0:10:27Peter, congratulations to you.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30Peter and Rula looking pretty strong at this point, on the back of that.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33Then 46 is where we find Sam and Michelle.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36Well done, Sam. 65, LJ and Alison.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Then up to 79, Gavin and Garry.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41So, yes, Garry, we need a low-scoring answer.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45Best of luck. Now, can the second players step up to the podium?
0:10:48 > 0:10:51OK, let's put seven more clues up on the board to musical knights
0:10:51 > 0:10:54and dames, and here we are. We have got...
0:11:31 > 0:11:33I'll read those all one last time.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08Michelle. Welcome back to Pointless.
0:12:08 > 0:12:09Remind us what you do.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13I'm a materials scientist, I work in the pharmaceuticals industry.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16Very good. And what do you do when you hang up your white coat?
0:12:16 > 0:12:19Yeah, the spare time that I do have,
0:12:19 > 0:12:23I've got a season ticket at Birmingham City Football Club,
0:12:23 > 0:12:25so I go to home games there.
0:12:25 > 0:12:26And I like to travel as well.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30Very good. OK, now, if you can score 32 or less with this, you will avoid
0:12:30 > 0:12:34being our high scorers and you'll definitely be in the next round.
0:12:34 > 0:12:35I think I only know two.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38It's just which one is going to be the lowest one.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41I think they're both going to score quite high. So...
0:12:41 > 0:12:45I'm going to go for the singer who dedicated a 1997 knighthood to his
0:12:45 > 0:12:49fellow Beatles and the people of Liverpool, for Paul McCartney.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Paul McCartney, says Michelle. Here is your red line.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55You have to get below that to be sure of a place in the next round.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57How many people said Paul McCartney?
0:13:00 > 0:13:01It's right.
0:13:03 > 0:13:0478.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Well, 124 is your total.
0:13:08 > 0:13:09You could have done enough there.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12Yeah, knighted in 1997.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16Interesting about how people read questions. Cos all of our 100
0:13:16 > 0:13:19know that Paul McCartney was one of the Beatles,
0:13:19 > 0:13:21and it shows that 22% of people...
0:13:21 > 0:13:23just show them a slightly longer question...
0:13:23 > 0:13:26- And they all go for Peter Mandelson! I know...- Yeah.- Happens every time.
0:13:26 > 0:13:30- Paul Merson, a lot of people went for.- Yeah.- Paddy McGuinness.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33Of course. Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Rula, welcome to Pointless.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38- Thank you.- Lovely to have you here. What do you do?- I'm a writer.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40Are you? What do you write?
0:13:40 > 0:13:44I'm writing a crime thriller in New York and an autobiography.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47Wow. Have you finished the crime thriller yet?
0:13:47 > 0:13:49No, not yet, that's still an ongoing process.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52- I mean, you've got it all mapped out, obviously?- Yeah. In New York,
0:13:52 > 0:13:55- it's my favourite city.- Very good. Well, obviously I can't ask you
0:13:55 > 0:13:57what happens because that would be a terrible spoiler!
0:13:57 > 0:14:01But a brilliant excuse to get back to New York as often as you like.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04Now, Rula, there you are, on 25.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08Brilliant scoring from Peter in the first pass means that 98 or less
0:14:08 > 0:14:10gets you through. What would you like to go for?
0:14:10 > 0:14:14Well, I know the jazz musician is John Denver.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16- John Denver, says Rula. - Yes.- John Denver.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18There is your red line.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22If you get below that with John Denver, you're into the next round.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Let's see how many of our 100 people said John Denver.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32Ooh! Oh, I'm sorry, Rula, I'm afraid not John Denver.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34That scores you 100 points,
0:14:34 > 0:14:36takes your total up to 125.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39I'll give the correct answer at the end of the pass. It might not have
0:14:39 > 0:14:43done that much damage, looking at the scores on the first two podiums.
0:14:43 > 0:14:44Very good. Now, Garry.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Now then, Garry.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49- Remind us what you do?- Also a police officer.- Also a police others.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52Now, whose idea was it to come on the show?
0:14:52 > 0:14:56It was my own. I originally applied with my grandmother.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58It was supposed to be for her 80th this year.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02But we thought the trek might be a bit much for her,
0:15:02 > 0:15:05so Gavin kindly stepped in to take her place.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07But she'll be watching at home, hopefully.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09- What's her name?- Shirley.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11- Hey, Shirley.- Hey, Shirley.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15She's fighting crime on the streets of Edinburgh as we speak!
0:15:15 > 0:15:17So, Garry. You have to score 45 or less.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Come on, we need you in the second round.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Yeah, I thought my good answer was gone on the last pass.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24I knew Evelyn Glennie,
0:15:24 > 0:15:27but I was really happy to see the bottom one pop up.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29So that would be Van Morrison.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Van Morrison, says Garry.
0:15:31 > 0:15:32Here's your red line.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34For comfort, it could be higher,
0:15:34 > 0:15:37but let's see how far down the column we get with Van Morrison.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Below that line, obviously, you're into the next round.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49You've done it! Look at that. Van Morrison, 36. Very well done.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53Second round, here we come. 115 is your total.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Great work, Garry, very well played.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Knighted in the 2015 birthday honours list.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Thanks very much, Richard.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Now then, Alison, welcome to Pointless.
0:16:01 > 0:16:05- Thank you.- What do you do, Alison? - I'm a student nurse.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09- A student nurse. Nursing has been a big thing!- Yeah, in our family.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13- What do you do in your spare time, Alison?- I don't have an awful lot
0:16:13 > 0:16:17of spare time, but I like to read, watch films, travel.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19I travel quite a lot.
0:16:19 > 0:16:23Very good. And musical people like those on the board behind me?
0:16:23 > 0:16:27- Oh, no!- I know one, luckily. - That's good, that's good.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29I've been hoping the whole time that it's not going to go,
0:16:29 > 0:16:32- and it hasn't. - 59 is your target.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34I think it's probably the highest scorer,
0:16:34 > 0:16:36but I'm going to have to go for it, and it's Tom Jones,
0:16:36 > 0:16:38the singer who appeared as a coach on The Voice.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Tom Jones, appearing on The Voice.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42There is your red line.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44If you get below that, you're through to the next round.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47Good luck. Let's see how many people said Tom Jones.
0:16:51 > 0:16:52It's right.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Oh!
0:16:54 > 0:16:5769. I'm sorry. 69, that's a high score.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00And it takes your total up to 134.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02They are all very close, all the totals, but you're just ahead now.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06One of the closest first rounds we've had in a very long time.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Unlucky to get knocked out there, all the scores very similar.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Shall we fill in the rest of this board? Let's start with JD.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13It's not John Denver, it is...?
0:17:13 > 0:17:16- Johnny Dankworth. - Johnny Dankworth is the answer.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18He would have scored you 42 points.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21At the top, the mezzo-soprano is?
0:17:21 > 0:17:23Janet Baker?
0:17:23 > 0:17:25She would have scored you 2 points.
0:17:25 > 0:17:26We'll go down to the bottom now.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28La Stupenda?
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Joan Sutherland.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34Would have scored you 15. And this last answer is a pointless answer.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37So very well done... Do you know this?
0:17:39 > 0:17:42- Do you know it if I give you half the answer?- We'll see.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44- It is Thomas...- Yes.
0:17:44 > 0:17:48- All...- Allen.- It is Thomas Allen, yes, very well done.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50And very well done if you got that at home.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53Thank you very much indeed, Richard. So at the end of our first round,
0:17:53 > 0:17:56the pair heading home with their high school of 134,
0:17:56 > 0:17:58I'm afraid it's Alison and LJ.
0:17:58 > 0:17:59Well, as we say, it was very close.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03- Yeah.- And had you been a bit further up the line, Alison,
0:18:03 > 0:18:05were there some nice lower scores that you knew there?
0:18:05 > 0:18:09- No!- Well, maybe that's a consolation. Not so bad. Anyway,
0:18:09 > 0:18:12We'll see you again next time and we'll look forward to that.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14But, meantime, thanks very much. Alison and LJ.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for round two.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27And so we are down to three pairs. At the end of this round,
0:18:27 > 0:18:30we're going to have to say goodbye to another pair.
0:18:30 > 0:18:31That was very close indeed.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35Phew! Our category for round two this afternoon...
0:18:35 > 0:18:39is chemical elements. Can you all decide in your pairs who is going to
0:18:39 > 0:18:42go first and who's going to go second?
0:18:42 > 0:18:45And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Let's find out what the question is.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54Here it comes. We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name...
0:18:54 > 0:18:56as many chemical elements
0:18:56 > 0:18:59whose names contain at least five consonants as they could.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02Chemical elements whose names contain at least five consonants.
0:19:02 > 0:19:06Looking for the name of any element on the periodic table as of
0:19:06 > 0:19:10December 2015, please, whose name contains five consonants or more.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13They can be repeated, but so long as there are five consonants or more,
0:19:13 > 0:19:16including Y, in their names, then we'll accept them as answers.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Now then, Garry.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Are we happy with this as a category?
0:19:22 > 0:19:25I think so. It's not our strongest, science. But I think
0:19:25 > 0:19:29it's a relatively new one and I'm going to go for Californium.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31Californium, says Garry.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34Californium. Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:19:37 > 0:19:38It's right.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Still going down, Garry, still going down.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45There we are, 11 for Californium. Very well done.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53Yeah, six consonants in that. Count 'em. That's a lot, isn't it?
0:19:53 > 0:19:56- Yeah.- It's from 1950, Californium.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Which, in the world of elements, is quite new.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01I suppose it is. I suppose it is.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04Thank you very much. Rula, what would you like to go for?
0:20:04 > 0:20:07Well, I love chemistry, so I'm going to go with krypton.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09Krypton, says Rula.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12Let's see how many of our 100 people went for krypton.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18It's right. 11 is our only score at this point.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20Krypton...
0:20:20 > 0:20:22It passes 11!
0:20:22 > 0:20:24It goes down to 2!
0:20:24 > 0:20:27Fantastic low score there, Rula, very well done.
0:20:27 > 0:20:292 for krypton.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31Yeah. Very well played, Rula.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34Terrifying to go for one that's such a short word, as well,
0:20:34 > 0:20:36having to get the five consonants. It's got six out of seven letters
0:20:36 > 0:20:39as consonants there, krypton. Really packing them in.
0:20:39 > 0:20:40- Very impressive.- Very good.
0:20:40 > 0:20:45Now, Michelle. Any chemical element with five or more consonants.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48OK. I'm going to go for dysprosium.
0:20:48 > 0:20:53Dysprosium. Let's see how many of our 100 people said dysprosium.
0:20:56 > 0:20:57It's right.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03It's another good answer, down it goes,
0:21:03 > 0:21:05it's a pointless answer! Very well done indeed.
0:21:05 > 0:21:11That adds £250 to today's jackpot, takes the total up to £1,250.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14And it scores you nothing. Very well done indeed.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16Very well played, Michelle.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18Another good round to be a materials scientist in, isn't it?
0:21:18 > 0:21:21Great, seven consonants. But at least you can go back to work now!
0:21:21 > 0:21:24- Yeah. Phew!- Thanks very much. We're halfway through the round,
0:21:24 > 0:21:26so let's take a look at the scores.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Nothing, the best score in that pass, Michelle. Very well done.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Then up to 2, where we find Peter and Rula.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33Then up to 11, Garry and Gavin.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Now, nothing wrong with 11,
0:21:35 > 0:21:39but you're high scorers again! You're up against Rula and Michelle.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41In normal gameplay,
0:21:41 > 0:21:43that would have set you up very well for the next pass.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46But Gavin, once again the pressure is on you, I'm afraid.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49Best of luck with that. We're going to come back down the line now.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:21:54 > 0:21:58Sam, remember, we're looking for any chemical element whose name contains
0:21:58 > 0:22:00five or more consonants.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02Ten or less gets you through.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05I'm not going to get that.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Blank. Complete blank.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11I'll say bromide.
0:22:11 > 0:22:15OK, you're going to go for bromide, Sam says going for bromide.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18There's your red line you have to get below. Bromide.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26Oh, I'm sorry, Sam.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28From hero to zero.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31Or rather, from zero to antihero there, I'm afraid, Sam.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34That's an incorrect answer, as I think you knew.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36That scores you 100. Takes your total up to 100.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39It may not be the last 100 of the pass, you never know.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Yeah, sorry, Sam, although Going For Bromide was a short-lived follow-up
0:22:42 > 0:22:45to Going For Gold, with Henry Kelly, they did one series...
0:22:45 > 0:22:46LAUGHING: Going For Bromide!
0:22:46 > 0:22:49Bromine is the element, rather than bromide.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52There we are. Thanks very much. Now, Peter,
0:22:52 > 0:22:54what would you like to go for?
0:22:54 > 0:22:58If you score 97 or less, you are into the head-to-head.
0:22:58 > 0:23:02Well, I've got one left and I was hoping that one wouldn't go.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04It's nitrogen.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06Nitrogen, says Peter.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09Here is your red line, lovely and high. If you can get below that
0:23:09 > 0:23:11with nitrogen, you're into the head-to-head.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13Let's see how money people said nitrogen.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18It's right and you are through, very well done.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Very good indeed, 13.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26That takes your total up to 15.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32Well played. I was very quickly adding up the number of consonants.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Then I remembered you're a maths teacher, so you would have done
0:23:34 > 0:23:37all that work for me! There's five in there.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Excellent. Thank you very much.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Whoa! Gavin.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43Sam's done you a bit of a favour, there.
0:23:43 > 0:23:48A little bit. A little bit, but science is not my forte.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51I'm going to have to go for potassium, I think.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54Potassium, says Gavin. Well, you're on 11.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57If you can score 88 or less, you are through. That's what 88 looks like
0:23:57 > 0:24:00on the column. Let's see how many people went for potassium.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06It's right and you're through. Well done. Head-to-head, here we come.
0:24:10 > 0:24:1114.
0:24:11 > 0:24:1325 is your total.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18Very solid scoring, well done.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21Yeah, that was discovered in 1807 by Humphry Davy, potassium.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24Now, let's take a look at some pointless answers, shall we?
0:24:24 > 0:24:26See if we can pronounce these.
0:24:37 > 0:24:38All of those are pointless answers.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41- Very well done if you said any of those at home.- Thanks, Richard.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43We are at the end of our second round. The pair we have to say
0:24:43 > 0:24:47goodbye to is our head-to-head pair from last time, Sam and Michelle.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50But I'm afraid no arguing with the high score there.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53Brilliant pointless answer from you, Michelle,
0:24:53 > 0:24:56and you've added to the jackpot. So you have left a legacy.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58But I'm afraid this is where we have to say goodbye to you.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01It's been great having you on. Thanks so much, Sam and Michelle.
0:25:03 > 0:25:07For Peter and Rula, Garry and Gavin, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16Congratulations, Garry and Gavin, Peter and Rula. You are now one step
0:25:16 > 0:25:18closer to the final and a chance to play for our jackpot,
0:25:18 > 0:25:22which currently stands at £1,250.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24Well, here we are in the head-to-head.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27I'm sure you know the rules by now. You can start playing as teams.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29You can confer before you give your answers.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33The first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36Now, history is being made this round. Pointless history.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39This is extraordinary that it has never happened before,
0:25:39 > 0:25:42but you are absolutely equal on your scores.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44We've never had that. So there we are,
0:25:44 > 0:25:46Pointless history has been determined.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49Best of luck to both players. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Here is your first question.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00And it concerns famous walls.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02Famous walls, Richard.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Well, you know, to celebrate this incredible occasion where you drew,
0:26:05 > 0:26:08I had to break out one of the glamorous questions.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10- Yes.- So we're going to show you five pictures now of famous walls.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13We're also going to give you alternate letters of their names.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16- Can you identify the most obscure? - Thank you very much indeed.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Let's reveal our five walls, and here they are.
0:26:20 > 0:26:21We've got...
0:26:46 > 0:26:48There we go. Five walls.
0:26:48 > 0:26:52Garry and Gavin, you will be going first.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54GARRY AND GAVIN WHISPER
0:26:56 > 0:27:00I think we know four of them.
0:27:00 > 0:27:05We're going to take a punt and go for Eton Wall, C.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08C, Eton Wall. Eton Wall, say Garry and Gavin.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11Now, Peter and Rula, that board is all yours.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13Would you like to talk us through it?
0:27:13 > 0:27:17OK, I think B is Hadrian's Wall.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19E is the Berlin Wall.
0:27:19 > 0:27:23A, Great Wall of China. Do you want to go for B or E?
0:27:23 > 0:27:24What do you think?
0:27:24 > 0:27:26- B.- OK.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28B, Hadrian's Wall.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32B, Hadrian's Wall. So we have Eton Wall versus Hadrian's Wall.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34Garry and Gavin said Eton Wall for C.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said it.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42It is right.
0:27:46 > 0:27:4727.
0:27:49 > 0:27:5127 for Eton Wall.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54Peter and Rula have gone for Hadrian's Wall, for B.
0:27:54 > 0:27:58Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said Hadrian's Wall.
0:28:01 > 0:28:02It's right.
0:28:04 > 0:28:0670.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09Very well done indeed, Garry and Gavin.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11After one question, you are up 1-0.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14Yeah, let's take a look at the rest of these. Of the three you knew,
0:28:14 > 0:28:15you went for the right one,
0:28:15 > 0:28:18cos Great Wall of China would have scored you more points.
0:28:18 > 0:28:19That would have scored you
0:28:19 > 0:28:2186 points.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23We'll look at E first. You're right,
0:28:23 > 0:28:25that was the Berlin Wall.
0:28:25 > 0:28:26Another big scorer, not as much as
0:28:26 > 0:28:27the Great Wall of China,
0:28:27 > 0:28:2982 points from that. The best answer
0:28:29 > 0:28:30on the board by a mile,
0:28:30 > 0:28:32because it's a pointless answer,
0:28:32 > 0:28:33and it's in Croatia,
0:28:33 > 0:28:35and they are the Walls of Ston.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39Very well done if you said that.
0:28:39 > 0:28:40It's nice that, nice-looking.
0:28:40 > 0:28:44Yeah. I like the way it spells a big W, on the hill.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47- They could write something.- If you keep looking, there's five more
0:28:47 > 0:28:49hills and they spell out a rude word. It's really rude,
0:28:49 > 0:28:53we couldn't show you the whole thing! But that's the first one.
0:28:53 > 0:28:56Thank you very much, Richard. Here comes your second question.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59Peter and Rula, you get to answer it first, but you have to win this one
0:28:59 > 0:29:03to stay in the game. So best of luck. It concerns...
0:29:03 > 0:29:04"lost" things.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06"Lost" things, Richard.
0:29:06 > 0:29:09Going to show you five clues now to facts that relate in some way to the
0:29:09 > 0:29:12word lost. Can you give us the most obscure answer here?
0:29:12 > 0:29:16Thanks very much. Let's reveal our five clues, and here they come.
0:29:36 > 0:29:37I'll read those all one last time.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59Peter and Rula, you will go first.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02THEY WHISPER
0:30:09 > 0:30:13OK, The Lost Boys, I think, are vampires.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15Vampires, say Peter and Rula.
0:30:15 > 0:30:19Vampires, for The Lost Boys. Garry and Gavin, do you fancy
0:30:19 > 0:30:22talking through that board and filling as much as you can?
0:30:22 > 0:30:24Not really. That was our only one!
0:30:24 > 0:30:27- Have to take a punt.- Yeah, we're just going to have to gamble.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30I think we'll have to take a punt at the Lost Gardens of Heligan
0:30:30 > 0:30:34- and say Cornwall.- Cornwall, for the Lost Gardens of Heligan.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37So, we have vampires and we have Cornwall.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40Peter and Rula went for vampires, let's see if that's right,
0:30:40 > 0:30:42for The Lost Boys. Let's see how many people said it.
0:30:45 > 0:30:46It's right.
0:30:51 > 0:30:5237.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59Garry and Gavin have taken a punt on Cornwall for the county in which
0:30:59 > 0:31:02you find the Lost Gardens of Heligan. Let's see if that's right
0:31:02 > 0:31:04and let's see how many people said it, if it is.
0:31:07 > 0:31:08It is Cornwall.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11Is it going to beat 37?
0:31:11 > 0:31:12Oh, no, 43!
0:31:12 > 0:31:15Very close indeed.
0:31:15 > 0:31:19Well done, two good answers there, but well done, Peter and Rula.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21After two questions, it is 1-1.
0:31:21 > 0:31:22Yeah, good head-to-head, this.
0:31:22 > 0:31:26Let's fill in these. The Belgian surrealist artist?
0:31:26 > 0:31:28- Magritte.- It is Magritte, yes.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32- 9 points.- The biggest scorer is the next one down,
0:31:32 > 0:31:34which is Shakespeare.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36Only 54, though. And according to tradition,
0:31:36 > 0:31:40the Patron Saint of Lost and Stolen Articles is St Anthony.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43St Anthony would have scored you 12 points.
0:31:43 > 0:31:45I had a lovely St Anthony pendant.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48I don't know where I put it!
0:31:48 > 0:31:49Beautiful.
0:31:49 > 0:31:53I don't know where it is, Richard... Anyway, onto the next question.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56Whoever wins this goes through to the final and plays for that
0:31:56 > 0:31:58jackpot. Best of luck to both pairs.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01Our third question today concerns
0:32:01 > 0:32:03British tennis number ones.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05British tennis number ones, Richard.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07Going to give you the names now of five tennis players who have,
0:32:07 > 0:32:10at one point or another, been ranked number one in the British game,
0:32:10 > 0:32:13either men or women. We've missed out letters of their names.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16Can you fill in those gaps and give us the most obscure answer?
0:32:16 > 0:32:18Very best of luck to both teams.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20Thanks very much. Let's reveal our British number ones.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23Here they are. We've got...
0:32:33 > 0:32:34I'll read those all one last time.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47Garry and Gavin, you will go first.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51We know three of them, but I reckon
0:32:51 > 0:32:53they'll be the high ones.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55I think we'll go for the second one.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57It's Laura Robson.
0:32:57 > 0:33:01OK. You're going to go for Laura Robson, for the second one.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04Now then, Peter and Rula, that board is all yours.
0:33:04 > 0:33:06Do you want to talk us through it?
0:33:06 > 0:33:09There's two I know, but I think one is too obvious.
0:33:09 > 0:33:13I think I'm going to go with Anna Kournikova.
0:33:13 > 0:33:17Anna Kournikova. So, we have Laura Robson and Anna Kournikova.
0:33:17 > 0:33:21Garry and Gavin said Laura Robson for the second one down.
0:33:21 > 0:33:25Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said Laura Robson.
0:33:31 > 0:33:32It's...
0:33:32 > 0:33:35It's a good score! Look at that, Laura Robson, 5!
0:33:35 > 0:33:37Very well done indeed.
0:33:41 > 0:33:46Peter and Rula have gone for Anna Kournikova for the third one down.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48Let's see if that's right.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51Let's see how many people said it, if it is.
0:33:53 > 0:33:57Oh! I'm sorry, I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer, which means,
0:33:57 > 0:33:59very well done, Garry and Gavin,
0:33:59 > 0:34:02after three questions you're through to the final, 2-1.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05Yeah, very well played, gents, great answer. I'll tell you what, Rula,
0:34:05 > 0:34:07you will not be the only person who said Anna Kournikova.
0:34:07 > 0:34:11- It really, really looks like it is Anna Kournikova, doesn't it?- Yeah.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13It's not, it's Anne Keothavong,
0:34:13 > 0:34:15who was British number one in the 21st century.
0:34:15 > 0:34:173 points for Anne Keothavong.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19She was once in the top 50 in the world.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22The top answer there is Roger Taylor.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25He would have scored you 23. And the bottom two are the big scorers.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27Fred Perry, 72.
0:34:27 > 0:34:30And Tim Henman.
0:34:30 > 0:34:31Tim Henman would have
0:34:31 > 0:34:32scored you 90 points.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35- How about that?- Good going. Thanks very much, Richard.
0:34:35 > 0:34:38So, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:34:38 > 0:34:43I'm afraid, Peter and Rula. Very close indeed, particularly that
0:34:43 > 0:34:46second question. The good news is we get to see you again next time.
0:34:46 > 0:34:50We'll look forward to that. But thanks very much, Peter and Rula!
0:34:50 > 0:34:53APPLAUSE
0:34:53 > 0:34:56But for Garry and Gavin, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03Well, congratulations, Garry and Gavin. You have seen off all the
0:35:03 > 0:35:07competition and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:13 > 0:35:15You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot,
0:35:15 > 0:35:20and at the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £1,250.
0:35:20 > 0:35:22Well, very well done. Vindication, I'd say.
0:35:22 > 0:35:26Last time you left as new members of the 200 Club, in round one.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29But as I said, you took the right sort of risks.
0:35:29 > 0:35:32What would you like to see come up in this round?
0:35:32 > 0:35:35- Well...- Countries from the Olympics.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38- Yeah!- Yeah, maybe a bit of sport.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40- Music.- We'll see how it goes.
0:35:40 > 0:35:43Fingers crossed they'll be something up there that you like the look of.
0:35:43 > 0:35:45Today's selection is this.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57I like the look of The Year 1991.
0:35:57 > 0:35:58We were pretty young, though.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01- Yeah.- We were only born in '87.
0:36:01 > 0:36:05Well, that means you're likely to remember it, that's good.
0:36:05 > 0:36:09- Well, we're not going to go for Nora Ephron, so...- Yeah, '91.- OK.
0:36:09 > 0:36:12- The Year 1991, Richard.- Very best of luck, gents. Slightly sickening
0:36:12 > 0:36:15you were only four in 1991, but we'll gloss over that!
0:36:15 > 0:36:18Here are your three questions, best of luck. We're looking for any
0:36:18 > 0:36:22tracks from the original release of Michael Jackson's album Dangerous,
0:36:22 > 0:36:23apart from the title track.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26We are looking for any of the cast of Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves.
0:36:26 > 0:36:30Anyone credited with appearing in that film by IMDb.
0:36:30 > 0:36:31Or we are looking for any player
0:36:31 > 0:36:34who played in the European Cup Winners' Cup final
0:36:34 > 0:36:37between Manchester United and Barcelona, please.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39Including if they came off the bench.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41So, tracks from Dangerous, cast from Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves,
0:36:41 > 0:36:45or players in the Man U Barcelona European Cup Winners' Cup final.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47- Best of luck.- OK. Now, as always,
0:36:47 > 0:36:49you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51All you need to win that jackpot
0:36:51 > 0:36:55is for just one of those answers to be pointless. Are you ready?
0:36:55 > 0:36:58- Think so.- OK, well, let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01There they are, your time starts now.
0:37:01 > 0:37:04- You know a few from Dangerous, don't you?- I could guess them,
0:37:04 > 0:37:06but I wouldn't say they were definitely in that album.
0:37:06 > 0:37:10Prince Of Thieves, obviously got Alan Rickman, Kevin Costner,
0:37:10 > 0:37:13Christian Slater is probably the most obscure your one.
0:37:13 > 0:37:15Man U Barcelona, 91.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17Who was in that team?
0:37:17 > 0:37:19That's a proper punt, isn't it?
0:37:19 > 0:37:21- Paul Ince...- Paul Ince.
0:37:23 > 0:37:25In goal, Schmeichel.
0:37:28 > 0:37:29Giggsy.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34What's the... Current Hull manager, Bruce.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36- Steve Bruce. - Yeah, Steve Bruce.
0:37:38 > 0:37:40Pallister, Gary Pallister.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42Gary Pallister.
0:37:44 > 0:37:47In terms of Dangerous, do you know...?
0:37:47 > 0:37:49I could only guess and say Black Or White...
0:37:49 > 0:37:52Ten seconds left.
0:37:52 > 0:37:54Pallister, Bruce.
0:37:54 > 0:37:56Pallister, Bruce and...
0:37:56 > 0:37:58Christian Slater.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02OK, your time is now up. Sounds like you've arrived at your three
0:38:02 > 0:38:05answers. Do you want to say what they are and say which category
0:38:05 > 0:38:08you are answering? Just in case a Man U player sounds like
0:38:08 > 0:38:09a Michael Jackson track! It can happen.
0:38:09 > 0:38:12So, the cast of Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves,
0:38:12 > 0:38:15- we'll go for Christian Slater. - Christian Slater.
0:38:15 > 0:38:17And European Cup winners, we'll go Gary Pallister...
0:38:17 > 0:38:20- Gary Pallister.- And Steve Bruce. - Steve Bruce. Of those three,
0:38:20 > 0:38:22which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:22 > 0:38:26- Pallister.- Gary Pallister goes last. Least likely to be pointless?
0:38:26 > 0:38:29- Christian Slater.- Probably. - Steve Bruce in the middle.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32OK, let's put those answers up in the board then, and here they are.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34We've got...
0:38:37 > 0:38:40Well, very best of luck. Three good answers on that board.
0:38:40 > 0:38:43One of those at least could be pointless and would win you
0:38:43 > 0:38:46that jackpot. If it was, what would you do with the money, if you won?
0:38:46 > 0:38:49- Garry.- I need a new set of golf clubs
0:38:49 > 0:38:53to try and challenge this man this year!
0:38:53 > 0:38:55So probably new clubs.
0:38:55 > 0:38:58Gavin is having none of that! Gavin, what would you do with it?
0:38:58 > 0:39:02He's going to need more than the golf clubs!
0:39:02 > 0:39:04I need a bit of work done to my car,
0:39:04 > 0:39:06so probably a bit of work done to that,
0:39:06 > 0:39:09and possibly a new driver for golf as well.
0:39:09 > 0:39:11OK. Well...
0:39:11 > 0:39:15We were looking for cast members of Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves.
0:39:15 > 0:39:17You said Christian Slater.
0:39:17 > 0:39:20If this is pointless, it will win you £1,250,
0:39:20 > 0:39:24so let's see how many people said Christian Slater.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28It's right.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31Now, if Christian Slater takes us all the way down to zero,
0:39:31 > 0:39:33you will leave here with £1,250.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36Christian Slater, now going down through the teens and into
0:39:36 > 0:39:38single figures, still going down...
0:39:38 > 0:39:39Oh! 4!
0:39:39 > 0:39:41APPLAUSE
0:39:41 > 0:39:44That's a great first answer. 4 for Christian Slater.
0:39:44 > 0:39:49Not a pointless answer, but still, fabulous low score.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51Only two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54Your next answer was Steve Bruce. In this case we were looking for
0:39:54 > 0:39:57European Cup Winners' Cup final players.
0:39:57 > 0:39:59This has to be pointless for you to win the jackpot.
0:39:59 > 0:40:04So, for £1,250, let's see how many people said Steve Bruce.
0:40:08 > 0:40:09Again, it's correct.
0:40:09 > 0:40:13Christian Slater took us all the way down to 4, your first answer.
0:40:13 > 0:40:17Steve Bruce now taking us down into the teens, into single figures,
0:40:17 > 0:40:19down it goes, still going down, 4 again!
0:40:24 > 0:40:27I mean, that's the kind of grouping that Robin Hood himself would have
0:40:27 > 0:40:30been pleased with. Very well done, great score.
0:40:30 > 0:40:34Not a pointless answer, though. One more chance to win today's jackpot.
0:40:34 > 0:40:36Your third and final answer was Gary Pallister.
0:40:36 > 0:40:40Again, we were looking for European Cup Winners' Cup final players from
0:40:40 > 0:40:421991. It has to be pointless,
0:40:42 > 0:40:44Gary Pallister, for you to win that jackpot.
0:40:44 > 0:40:48So, for £1,250, let's find out how many people said Gary Pallister.
0:40:48 > 0:40:49Is it pointless?
0:40:53 > 0:40:55Well, it's right again.
0:40:55 > 0:40:57So far we've gone 4 and 4.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00Christian Slater got 4, Steve Bruce got 4.
0:41:00 > 0:41:01Gary Pallister now going down
0:41:01 > 0:41:04through the teens and into single figures, down it goes,
0:41:04 > 0:41:06passes 4... Oh! 1!
0:41:06 > 0:41:081 for Gary Pallister.
0:41:14 > 0:41:16That's incredibly unlucky.
0:41:16 > 0:41:18Three good answers there.
0:41:18 > 0:41:21All moving in the right direction with that last one,
0:41:21 > 0:41:24but I'm afraid Gary Pallister still didn't make it down to pointless,
0:41:24 > 0:41:27I'm afraid, so you didn't find that pointless answer, which means
0:41:27 > 0:41:30you don't win today's jackpot of £1,250 and that will roll over
0:41:30 > 0:41:34onto the next show. But what a turnaround on this show, it's been
0:41:34 > 0:41:36fantastic. Great performance from you, Garry and Gavin.
0:41:36 > 0:41:40So very, very well done with that and you can be very pleased with the
0:41:40 > 0:41:43answers you gave. And you get to take a Pointless trophy each home.
0:41:43 > 0:41:45- So there we are. - That's what we came for! Thank you.
0:41:49 > 0:41:53Goodness me, gents, very well played. Great jackpot round.
0:41:53 > 0:41:56Great head-to-head. Let's take you through the pointless answers.
0:41:56 > 0:41:58For Dangerous, first of all...
0:42:02 > 0:42:04..and also Why You Wanna Trip On Me.
0:42:04 > 0:42:07The cast of Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves now.
0:42:09 > 0:42:11Everyone in that film was pointless
0:42:11 > 0:42:12apart from Kevin Costner,
0:42:12 > 0:42:14Alan Rickman, Morgan Freeman,
0:42:14 > 0:42:15Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio,
0:42:15 > 0:42:17Brian Blessed and Mike McShane.
0:42:17 > 0:42:20Now, during your 60 seconds for the Manchester United players,
0:42:20 > 0:42:22one of the first names you mentioned...
0:42:22 > 0:42:25was Paul Ince.
0:42:25 > 0:42:27Let's take a look here. Paul Ince
0:42:27 > 0:42:28is a pointless answer, I'm amazed.
0:42:28 > 0:42:30Carles Busquets,
0:42:30 > 0:42:31he is Sergio Busquets' father.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33Eusebio, not that one.
0:42:33 > 0:42:35That's a pointless answer. Michael Laudrup.
0:42:35 > 0:42:37A few other answers you could have had there, Albert Ferrer, Goycochea,
0:42:37 > 0:42:40you could have had Les Sealey. You could have had Nando.
0:42:40 > 0:42:43So very well done if you got any of those answers at home.
0:42:43 > 0:42:44But Paul Ince, guys.
0:42:44 > 0:42:48- That's gutting, isn't it?- I thought it was really obvious, but...
0:42:48 > 0:42:51Well, Garry and Gavin didn't win our jackpot today, which means it rolls
0:42:51 > 0:42:57over onto the show, when we will be playing for £2,250.
0:42:57 > 0:43:00Join us next time to see if someone can win it.
0:43:00 > 0:43:02- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:02 > 0:43:05And it's goodbye from me, goodbye.
0:43:05 > 0:43:10CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
