APPLAUSE

0:00:130:00:16

Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong.

0:00:210:00:24

Welcome to Pointless, the game where we aim for the obscure and ignore the obvious.

0:00:240:00:28

Let's meet today's players.

0:00:280:00:30

-And couple number one.

-My name's Janet, I'm from Liversedge.

0:00:350:00:38

This is my sister Julie and she lives in Silsden.

0:00:380:00:40

-Couple number two.

-My name's Dean. This is my friend Gary.

0:00:400:00:43

-We're from Kent.

-Couple number three.

0:00:430:00:46

I'm Cherelle and this is my husband David, and we are from Belfast.

0:00:460:00:49

And finally, couple number four.

0:00:490:00:50

I'm Martin, this is my friend Bill, and we are from Leeds.

0:00:500:00:53

And these are today's contestants.

0:00:530:00:56

Thanks very much, all of you, a very warm welcome to the show.

0:00:580:01:00

We'll get to chat to each of you

0:01:000:01:02

throughout the show as it goes along,

0:01:020:01:03

obviously. So that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.

0:01:030:01:07

If a little knowledge is a dangerous thing,

0:01:070:01:09

then he must be the FBI's most wanted.

0:01:090:01:11

It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.

0:01:110:01:14

Hiya. Hi, everybody.

0:01:140:01:16

Good afternoon. Good afternoon to you.

0:01:160:01:19

-And to you.

-Two returning pairs from our last show.

0:01:190:01:22

We've got Cherelle and David, who went through to Round Two,

0:01:220:01:25

and Dean and Gary got knocked out in Round One. Hopefully see a bit more of them.

0:01:250:01:28

Both teams there beaten by Mike and Trisha.

0:01:280:01:31

Lovely Mike and Trisha. Now, Mike, I have to say,

0:01:310:01:33

turned into a very classy guy.

0:01:330:01:35

He was quite quiet all the way through the show. Trisha, lovely, Mike, very quiet.

0:01:350:01:39

He casually reveals that Trisha is pregnant,

0:01:390:01:42

the whole audience melts and then smashes it in with two pointless answers.

0:01:420:01:45

-That was lovely, wasn't it?

-That was lovely. What a nice win.

0:01:450:01:48

Thank you very much. So, yes, Trisha and Mike won the jackpot last time.

0:01:480:01:51

So today's jackpot, therefore, starts off back at its comfortable £1,000.

0:01:510:01:56

There we are. So, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.

0:01:560:01:59

Just to remind you,

0:02:050:02:06

the pair with the highest score at the end of each round will be

0:02:060:02:09

eliminated. So it's your job not to be that pair,

0:02:090:02:12

so best of luck with that.

0:02:120:02:13

Our first category this afternoon...

0:02:130:02:15

..is US Politics. US Politics.

0:02:170:02:20

Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,

0:02:200:02:22

who's going to go second? And whoever's going first,

0:02:220:02:24

please step up to the podium.

0:02:240:02:25

OK, let's find out what the question is.

0:02:290:02:31

Here it comes. We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name

0:02:310:02:34

as many US presidents

0:02:340:02:36

whose last names do not contain the letters U or S,

0:02:360:02:41

as they could. Wow.

0:02:410:02:43

US presidents whose last names don't contain the letters U or S, Richard.

0:02:430:02:47

Yes, any US president whose last name doesn't contain the letters U or S.

0:02:470:02:53

You have unpacked that beautifully.

0:02:530:02:55

Yeah. If you need any more information, you just let me know.

0:02:550:02:58

-Julie, what do you do?

-I'm a mostly retired accountant.

0:03:000:03:04

Do you miss the accounting, or...?

0:03:040:03:06

-No. Not at all.

-I was... I had a hunch you might say that.

0:03:060:03:09

What do you do now you're retired?

0:03:090:03:12

I like to go for walks in the countryside, I like to cook, I like to read,

0:03:120:03:16

and I've started doing some voluntary work at my local charity shop.

0:03:160:03:20

Good for you. Now, US presidents.

0:03:200:03:21

Not containing the letters U or S.

0:03:210:03:23

OK, I've got an answer.

0:03:230:03:24

-Gerald Ford.

-Gerald Ford.

0:03:240:03:26

There's not a U or an S in that.

0:03:260:03:28

-Or is there?

-Or is there?!

0:03:280:03:30

-One of those hidden letters.

-Jeopardy, come on.

0:03:300:03:33

-I wonder if there is.

-I wonder if that's right.

0:03:330:03:35

Let's see how many of our 100 people said Gerald Ford.

0:03:350:03:38

It's right.

0:03:400:03:41

Oh, that's a good score. 31.

0:03:450:03:47

Well done, Julie.

0:03:470:03:49

31.

0:03:500:03:51

He became vice president and president, both times,

0:03:510:03:54

without being elected to the post.

0:03:540:03:55

-Gerald Ford.

-Clever. Thank you, Richard.

0:03:550:03:58

Now, Dean.

0:03:580:04:00

Remind us what you do, Dean.

0:04:000:04:01

-I'm a civil servant.

-A civil servant.

0:04:010:04:04

Somehow connected with the Port of Dover.

0:04:040:04:06

There we are. What are your interests, Dean?

0:04:060:04:09

Mainly sport. Golf, I play a lot of golf and a lot of football.

0:04:090:04:12

And a little bit of cycling mixed in as well.

0:04:120:04:15

Very good indeed. Now, Dean. US presidents.

0:04:150:04:19

It's one of those things that people quite often revise for this show.

0:04:190:04:22

It is a subject I revised.

0:04:220:04:24

Hooray! So, this is good.

0:04:240:04:26

Yeah. So I'm going to go for Grover Cleveland.

0:04:260:04:30

Grover Cleveland, says Dean.

0:04:300:04:33

That's good. That's good.

0:04:330:04:35

Let's see if it's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said Grover Cleveland.

0:04:350:04:39

Very well done. 31 is our only score at this point.

0:04:420:04:44

I suspect you're going to pass it, and you do.

0:04:440:04:46

Look at that. You see?

0:04:480:04:49

The fruits of your labours there.

0:04:510:04:53

Well done, Dean - 3 for Grover Cleveland.

0:04:530:04:56

Nice play, Dean. Yeah, his real first name was not Grover,

0:04:560:04:58

his real first name was Stephen, so he was Steve Cleveland,

0:04:580:05:01

-which is quite a good name.

-Steve Cleveland!

0:05:010:05:03

-Yes, Stephen Cleveland.

-Grover was just a nickname?

0:05:030:05:06

-That was his middle name.

-Oh, I see.

-He swapped them round.

0:05:060:05:08

Yeah. Very good.

0:05:080:05:09

-David, welcome back.

-Alexander.

0:05:090:05:11

-Great to have you here from Belfast.

-Yeah.

-Remind us what you do, David.

0:05:110:05:15

I'm an operations manager for an aerospace company.

0:05:150:05:17

Which bit of the operation do you oversee, David?

0:05:170:05:20

-Which bit?

-We are busy telling people how to build the plane.

0:05:200:05:23

You must know an aeroplane extremely closely, then?

0:05:250:05:28

-Erm, not really!

-No.

0:05:280:05:32

I know enough, I know enough.

0:05:320:05:34

-You know enough.

-I know enough to build them OK, so don't be alarmed.

0:05:340:05:37

"I know enough to build them OK."

0:05:370:05:39

-There we are.

-And for the record, we are pretty good.

0:05:400:05:44

-PRETTY good.

-Pretty good.

0:05:440:05:46

The safety record speaks for itself.

0:05:460:05:48

No hard shoulder at 30,000 feet.

0:05:480:05:50

There we are. Now, David -

0:05:500:05:53

US presidents.

0:05:530:05:54

I've got a couple of obvious ones, but I'm going to go for it.

0:05:560:05:59

I don't know if I've got the first name right,

0:05:590:06:00

-so I'm going to go for Harold Taft.

-You're going to go for Harold Taft.

0:06:000:06:04

-Yeah.

-Harold Taft.

0:06:040:06:06

This is new kind of jeopardy.

0:06:060:06:08

This isn't the jeopardy of whether or not it's got a U or S in it.

0:06:080:06:10

It's whether or not it's right.

0:06:100:06:12

Harold Taft. Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.

0:06:120:06:16

Oh, David.

0:06:200:06:22

-I'm afraid...

-Got to try it.

0:06:220:06:24

I'm afraid you did, you did the right thing there.

0:06:240:06:26

Pointless applauds triers.

0:06:260:06:28

Yes, sorry, David. I'll give all the correct answers at the end of the pass.

0:06:280:06:32

I do worry, though, that you thought you were all right at US presidents in the same way you said

0:06:320:06:35

you were all right at building planes.

0:06:350:06:37

LAUGHTER

0:06:370:06:39

I'm going to get the sack now, you know that.

0:06:390:06:42

Thanks very much, Richard.

0:06:420:06:44

-Now then, Martin.

-Hello.

0:06:440:06:46

Welcome to Pointless. Good to have you here from Leeds.

0:06:460:06:49

-Yes.

-What do you do, Martin?

0:06:490:06:51

I'm a stock controller for a dairy company in Leeds.

0:06:510:06:55

That's quite fun.

0:06:550:06:57

No, maybe not?

0:06:570:06:59

Is it just the milk bits you look after, or the cheeses and yoghurt?

0:06:590:07:02

Cheese, butter, and the milk, yes, yes.

0:07:020:07:04

Where does your stock go when it leaves your care?

0:07:040:07:06

To the majority of major supermarkets and wholesalers.

0:07:060:07:09

Oh, so this is a massive dairy?

0:07:090:07:10

-Yes.

-Yes.

-Yeah.

-One of the big ones, I'm guessing?

0:07:100:07:13

One of the big ones.

0:07:130:07:15

Now, Martin, what would you like to go for? US presidents.

0:07:150:07:18

I'm going to go for one that's... first name contains U and S,

0:07:180:07:22

controversially.

0:07:220:07:23

-But the surname doesn't.

-What, like a decoy?

0:07:230:07:25

-Yeah.

-Oh, right, OK.

0:07:250:07:26

I'm going to say Ulysses S Grant.

0:07:260:07:29

And his middle initial!

0:07:300:07:31

-He's got one in there.

-It's entirely contraband.

0:07:310:07:34

Ulysses S Grant, says Martin.

0:07:350:07:38

Well, our highest score is 100, our lowest is 3,

0:07:380:07:40

let's see where we go with Ulysses S Grant.

0:07:400:07:43

Oh, it's still going down, Martin.

0:07:480:07:50

Look at that!

0:07:500:07:52

7, look at that! Very well done indeed.

0:07:520:07:55

Ulysses S Grant, very well done on the far podium.

0:07:560:07:59

Very well played, Martin. Yeah, that was like juggling with fire,

0:07:590:08:02

-wasn't it?

-Yeah.

-That was real showboating from Martin.

0:08:020:08:04

Well, we are halfway through the round, so let's take a quick look at the scores.

0:08:040:08:08

3, the best score in the pass. Dean, very well done indeed.

0:08:080:08:10

Then up to 7, where we find Martin and Bill.

0:08:100:08:13

Then we travel up to 31, where we find Janet and Julie and then up to 100,

0:08:130:08:16

David and Cherelle, one of our returning pairs.

0:08:160:08:20

Cherelle, please have a brilliant, brilliant answer.

0:08:200:08:24

We've got to keep you on after Round One. It would be tragic to send you home that early.

0:08:240:08:27

We're going to come back down the line now.

0:08:270:08:30

Can the second players please step up to the podium?

0:08:300:08:33

OK, so, Bill.

0:08:350:08:36

Yes, it's US presidents without a U or S in their name.

0:08:360:08:40

Bill, a very warm welcome, also from Leeds.

0:08:400:08:42

-WITH ELECTRONIC LARYNX:

-Thank you, yes.

-What do you do, Bill?

0:08:420:08:45

-Retired.

-What did you do?

0:08:450:08:47

I've done all sorts. Lorry driving, bus driving.

0:08:470:08:50

Right you are. And how do you and Martin know each other?

0:08:500:08:53

We are mates.

0:08:530:08:55

We live pretty close to each other.

0:08:550:08:57

Right you are, and you are quizzers, aren't you?

0:08:570:09:00

-Oh, yes.

-Oh, quizzers!

0:09:000:09:01

-Same pub.

-Quizzers surely know their US presidents.

0:09:010:09:04

Bill, what would you like to go for?

0:09:040:09:08

J Edgar Hoover.

0:09:090:09:11

J Edgar Hoover?

0:09:110:09:13

OK, now the high scorers at the moment are Cherelle and David on 100.

0:09:130:09:16

You are on 7. You need to score 92 or less.

0:09:160:09:19

There's your red line, Bill.

0:09:190:09:21

You have to try and get below that with J Edgar Hoover.

0:09:210:09:24

It has to be right.

0:09:240:09:25

Has it got a U or S in?

0:09:250:09:27

Let's see how many of our 100 people said J Edgar Hoover.

0:09:270:09:30

Oh!

0:09:320:09:34

Bad luck, Bill.

0:09:340:09:36

I'm afraid that is an incorrect answer.

0:09:360:09:39

That takes your total up to 107, having scored you 100.

0:09:390:09:41

But that's a relief for Cherelle and David there.

0:09:410:09:45

107 your total.

0:09:450:09:47

Exemplary work on the alphabet, Bill, that was perfect, but, yes,

0:09:470:09:50

he was the director of the FBI, J Edgar Hoover, not president.

0:09:500:09:53

Thank you very much.

0:09:530:09:55

Now, Cherelle.

0:09:550:09:56

Oh, this is exciting.

0:09:560:09:58

If you can score six or less, you are through.

0:09:580:10:01

And remind us what you do, Cherelle.

0:10:010:10:03

I work as business support in a bank.

0:10:030:10:06

That's right. And what are your hobbies over there in Belfast?

0:10:060:10:09

I enjoy a bit of baking, so I do. I enjoy...

0:10:090:10:13

Do you have a signature bake?

0:10:130:10:14

Is there a thing you're particularly good at?

0:10:140:10:17

I make a nice rhubarb and custard cake.

0:10:170:10:19

Oh, now, that's nice.

0:10:190:10:20

-Mm-hm.

-And custard?

0:10:200:10:22

-Mm-hm.

-How do you do it?

0:10:220:10:24

Do you do it when the custard's quite jellyish or not?

0:10:240:10:26

-I would be telling my secrets now.

-Rhubarb and... Oh!

0:10:260:10:29

-Sounds nice.

-I'm not going to lie - that's made my mouth water.

0:10:300:10:33

-What, rhubarb and custard cake?

-Mmm.

0:10:330:10:35

Well, the good news is, Cherelle, almost certainly,

0:10:350:10:37

with that famous Northern Irish hospitality, has brought us one,

0:10:370:10:40

-so there'll be one waiting.

-One awaiting us.

0:10:400:10:43

There we are.

0:10:430:10:44

Oh, can't wait for that.

0:10:440:10:47

Cherelle, we need a score of 6 or less.

0:10:470:10:50

I'm going to say...

0:10:500:10:51

-..Richard Nixon.

-Richard Nixon?

0:10:520:10:55

-Mm-hm.

-Richard Nixon.

0:10:550:10:56

Here is your red line.

0:10:560:10:58

Now then. Bill and Martin helped you out there,

0:11:000:11:03

threw you a bit of a lifeline.

0:11:030:11:05

Are you going to make good use of it, I wonder?

0:11:050:11:08

Richard Nixon - how many of our 100 people said that?

0:11:080:11:11

It's right.

0:11:130:11:14

Oh, it's not bad, 48.

0:11:160:11:18

148 is your total.

0:11:180:11:21

I said not bad. What I actually meant was, "Ah!"

0:11:230:11:25

I'm afraid that means you are our high scorers.

0:11:250:11:28

Yeah, good answer, though, Richard Nixon.

0:11:280:11:30

He had a ten-pin bowling alley installed in the White House.

0:11:300:11:32

Wow. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.

0:11:320:11:36

Now, Gary, welcome back.

0:11:360:11:37

-Thank you.

-The pleasing news is this - you are into the next round.

0:11:370:11:40

-That's a relief.

-Remind us what you do, Gary.

0:11:400:11:43

Like Dean, I'm a civil servant.

0:11:430:11:45

Did you both start at the same time at the civil service, or are you...?

0:11:450:11:48

No, I started back in 2000.

0:11:480:11:49

Dean was a little bit in front of me in that respect.

0:11:490:11:52

Oh, I see. So is one of you senior to the other then?

0:11:520:11:54

In terms of your career, position?

0:11:540:11:57

Yeah, I'm probably more senior.

0:11:570:12:00

So Dean started first?

0:12:000:12:02

Oh! And Gary's...

0:12:020:12:04

-Senior.

-Senior!

0:12:040:12:06

-That's awkward.

-Oh!

0:12:060:12:08

And yet, and yet, Dean got Grover Cleveland.

0:12:080:12:10

Maybe he's been so busy learning about US presidents

0:12:100:12:13

and perhaps not applying himself.

0:12:130:12:15

Well, I'm assuming that Gary is now immediately going to score another 3,

0:12:150:12:19

otherwise that boast is going to look a bit hollow, isn't it?

0:12:190:12:23

Now, Gary, what have you got?

0:12:230:12:24

I'm going to play safe and go Jimmy Carter.

0:12:240:12:29

That hasn't got a U or an S in.

0:12:290:12:30

-I'll give him that.

-I'll give him that.

0:12:300:12:32

Now, OK, Gary, no red line for you, you are already through.

0:12:320:12:35

How many of our 100 people said Jimmy Carter?

0:12:350:12:37

37. Takes your total up to a nice, round 40.

0:12:440:12:47

I suspect that will be our lowest score of the round.

0:12:490:12:52

Safely through, very well played.

0:12:520:12:54

He's the great-grandfather of the Carter family in EastEnders.

0:12:540:12:57

LAUGHTER

0:12:570:12:59

Danny Dyer's great-grandfather.

0:13:010:13:03

Aw, that's nice.

0:13:030:13:04

There we are, Janet, welcome to the show.

0:13:040:13:07

-Hello.

-Great to have you here from the West Riding of Yorkshire.

0:13:070:13:10

-Yes.

-Janet, what do you do?

0:13:100:13:12

I'm a legal secretary for a local solicitor's firm.

0:13:120:13:16

You are on top of all the local gossip?

0:13:160:13:19

Um, yeah, yeah.

0:13:190:13:22

A bit of gossip of the sort of conveyancing kind, so not really...

0:13:220:13:25

-Criminal as well.

-Oh!

0:13:250:13:27

Not the conveyancing kind!

0:13:270:13:29

Wow. You've got it all!

0:13:290:13:30

Well, now, where do we start?

0:13:320:13:33

No, what are your interests outside the legal secretarial work?

0:13:350:13:38

I like watching football. I'm a Leeds United fan. I like watching tennis,

0:13:380:13:43

I like eating out, socialising with friends, travelling.

0:13:430:13:47

Now, you are through. It doesn't matter what you score,

0:13:470:13:50

but I just have a hunch you might have a good answer.

0:13:500:13:52

Two of my answers have gone that I thought of,

0:13:520:13:54

-so I'm going to say Abraham Lincoln.

-Abraham Lincoln, says Janet.

-Oh!

0:13:540:13:58

To the surprise of Julie.

0:13:580:14:01

No red line. Let's see how many of our 100 people said Abraham Lincoln.

0:14:010:14:05

-Oh!

-Not bad, 43.

0:14:110:14:13

74 is your total.

0:14:130:14:17

A gentle end to the round there.

0:14:170:14:19

Very well done. To clear up a couple of the wrong answers there, David,

0:14:190:14:23

you gave us Harold Taft - it's William Taft.

0:14:230:14:26

William Howard Taft would have scored you 3 points as well.

0:14:260:14:29

Would have been a terrific answer.

0:14:290:14:30

And J Edgar Hoover, not president,

0:14:300:14:32

Herbert Hoover was president and would have scored you 6 points.

0:14:320:14:36

Another good answer. Now, no pointless answers at all,

0:14:360:14:38

but there's four 1-pointers.

0:14:380:14:40

You'd have got 1 point for Warren G Harding, William McKinley,

0:14:400:14:44

Zachary Taylor and Millard Fillmore.

0:14:440:14:46

Those are the best answers there, well done if you said one of those.

0:14:460:14:49

2 points for James Garfield, James Polk,

0:14:490:14:51

3 points for Franklin Pierce,

0:14:510:14:53

Calvin Coolidge and we've already had Cleveland and Taft,

0:14:530:14:56

4 points for James Monroe, John Tyler, 6 for Herbert Hoover,

0:14:560:14:59

as we've said. You would have got 48 for JFK and the top three,

0:14:590:15:05

let's take a look at them, the ones that most of our 100 people said,

0:15:050:15:07

no surprises here.

0:15:070:15:09

Bill Clinton, 52, Ronald Reagan, also 52

0:15:090:15:13

and top of the shop, Barack Obama, 72.

0:15:130:15:16

Thank you very much, Richard.

0:15:160:15:18

So we are at the end of our first round and the pair we have to say

0:15:180:15:20

goodbye to, I'm so sorry, David and Cherelle.

0:15:200:15:23

For the second time. Far too soon to be sending you home.

0:15:230:15:25

But this time, we really are saying goodbye, I'm afraid,

0:15:250:15:28

because it's your second and last chance to appear on the show.

0:15:280:15:30

-It's been great having you here, far too brief.

-It's been great.

0:15:300:15:33

But you've been wonderful contestants. Thanks very much, Cherelle and David.

0:15:330:15:36

But for our remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.

0:15:390:15:43

And so suddenly down to three pairs. And at the end of this round, I have to break it to you now,

0:15:470:15:51

we are going to be down to two for our head-to-head round,

0:15:510:15:54

so we're going to have to say goodbye to one of the pairs in front of me.

0:15:540:15:57

Best of luck to all three pairs.

0:15:570:15:58

Our category for Round Two this afternoon is the UK.

0:15:580:16:02

The UK. Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first,

0:16:020:16:05

who's going to go second? And whoever's going first,

0:16:050:16:07

please step up to the podium.

0:16:070:16:09

OK, and our UK question

0:16:120:16:15

concerns Scotland.

0:16:150:16:17

Scotland. Richard.

0:16:170:16:20

On each board, I'm going to show you six clues to facts about Scotland

0:16:200:16:23

and its people - you just need to give us the most obscure you can.

0:16:230:16:26

There's 12 in all to have a go at at home.

0:16:260:16:28

-Very best of luck.

-Thanks very much indeed.

0:16:280:16:31

OK, so, here is our first board of clues to facts about Scotland

0:16:310:16:33

and here are the first six.

0:16:330:16:35

I will read those all again.

0:16:590:17:01

So, Janet, what would you like to go for?

0:17:240:17:27

I think there's only two I definitely know,

0:17:270:17:29

so I'm going to go for the Scottish band, The Proclaimers.

0:17:290:17:31

The Proclaimers, says Janet.

0:17:310:17:33

The Proclaimers. Let's see how many of our 100 people got that.

0:17:330:17:37

It's right.

0:17:380:17:40

-Oh!

-71.

0:17:400:17:42

71, that's high.

0:17:430:17:45

Yes, a big score. They are so greatly loved, The Proclaimers, aren't they?

0:17:450:17:48

And everyone knows them and everyone loves their songs.

0:17:480:17:52

-Yeah.

-You don't see them interviewed much, there's no hype around them.

0:17:520:17:55

But everybody loves them.

0:17:550:17:57

Just brilliant. Gary.

0:17:570:18:00

-Gary.

-I think I'll go for the Scottish hero played by Mel Gibson

0:18:000:18:05

in Braveheart as William Wallace.

0:18:050:18:08

William Wallace, says Gary.

0:18:080:18:10

Let's see how many of our 100 people went with William Wallace.

0:18:100:18:14

Not bad, 40 for Wallace.

0:18:190:18:21

Well played, Gary. That was written by Randall Wallace,

0:18:240:18:27

who was convinced he is related to William Wallace.

0:18:270:18:29

He's not been able to prove it, but he said, "I'm certain I was."

0:18:290:18:32

Very good. Now then, Bill.

0:18:320:18:35

This board is all yours.

0:18:350:18:36

If you fancy it, you could go through the whole board.

0:18:360:18:39

I think I might know one.

0:18:390:18:42

OK. What are you going to go for?

0:18:420:18:44

The former Scottish footballer.

0:18:440:18:47

-Bill Shankly.

-Bill Shankly, says Bill.

0:18:470:18:51

Let's see if it's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.

0:18:510:18:54

Absolutely right. 71 is our highest score. You pass it.

0:18:570:19:00

40 our low score. You pass it.

0:19:000:19:03

Bill Shankly... Down to 21.

0:19:030:19:04

Very well done indeed, Bill.

0:19:070:19:09

Yeah, very well played, Bill.

0:19:090:19:10

Let's take a look at the rest of these.

0:19:100:19:12

The city in which the Scottish Parliament meets, Edinburgh.

0:19:120:19:17

That's 69 points. The poet is Liz Lochhead. She would've scored you 2 points.

0:19:170:19:22

The best answer on the board.

0:19:220:19:23

-And the philosopher and economist featured on the note...

-Adam Smith.

0:19:230:19:26

Adam Smith.

0:19:260:19:28

He would have scored you 16.

0:19:280:19:29

Thank you very much indeed, Richard.

0:19:290:19:32

So we're halfway through the round, but before we come back down the line,

0:19:320:19:35

let's take a look at those scores.

0:19:350:19:36

Well done, Bill. Bill and Martin, our low scorers at this point on 21,

0:19:360:19:40

then up to 40 where we find Gary and Dean, then 71, Janet and Julie.

0:19:400:19:45

Julie... I mean, you're not way ahead...

0:19:450:19:48

But you're...way ahead.

0:19:480:19:50

Yeah.

0:19:500:19:52

We need a low score from you, Julie, and we certainly have to hope,

0:19:520:19:55

not that we wish misfortune on anyone,

0:19:550:19:57

but we have to hope that someone else gets a high score.

0:19:570:19:59

Good luck with that. We're going to come back down the line.

0:19:590:20:02

Can the second players please step up to the podium?

0:20:020:20:05

OK, let's put six more Scottish clues up on the board and here they come.

0:20:070:20:10

I'll read those one last time.

0:20:410:20:43

There we are. Now, remember, Martin,

0:21:080:21:10

we're looking for the most obscure answer you can find on that board.

0:21:100:21:14

Yeah, it's a bit trickier than the previous board, this one.

0:21:140:21:18

So I'm going to go fairly safe and go for the 18th-century Scottish poet

0:21:180:21:24

and say Robert Burns.

0:21:240:21:26

Robert or Rabbie Burns, you're going to say.

0:21:260:21:29

Now 49 or less means you'll avoid becoming the new high scorers.

0:21:290:21:32

There's your red line. Let's see how many people went for Robbie Burns.

0:21:320:21:36

It's right.

0:21:390:21:41

Ooh, 74. Takes your total up to 95.

0:21:420:21:46

Yeah, a big score for Burns.

0:21:460:21:48

Made all his money from the lyrics to Auld Lang Syne, made a fortune,

0:21:480:21:51

used to play it on the radio so much.

0:21:510:21:53

Every New Year. Ka-ching!

0:21:530:21:55

-Boom.

-Thank you very much indeed, Richard.

0:21:550:21:58

Now, Dean.

0:21:580:22:00

Dean, you're on 40. If you can score 54 or less,

0:22:000:22:03

you're in the head-to-head.

0:22:030:22:04

I'm going to go for the islands to the north-east of the mainland which

0:22:050:22:09

form the northernmost point of the UK as the Shetland Islands.

0:22:090:22:13

The Shetland Islands, says Dean. Let's see if that's right,

0:22:130:22:16

let's see how many of our 100 people said it.

0:22:160:22:18

There's your red line.

0:22:180:22:19

It's right.

0:22:200:22:22

And you are through. Very well done.

0:22:240:22:25

Just!

0:22:250:22:26

42. 54 was your target, 82 is your total.

0:22:260:22:31

Very well played. There's been evidence of settlers in the Shetland Islands since 3,000 BCE.

0:22:310:22:37

-Amazing, isn't it?

-There we are.

0:22:370:22:39

Thank you very much. Now then, Julie.

0:22:390:22:42

-Yes.

-This is very exciting.

0:22:420:22:44

You have to score 23 or less.

0:22:440:22:46

Now, how are we feeling about Scotland?

0:22:460:22:48

Well, I'm not feeling as confident about this board as the last one.

0:22:480:22:52

I don't know whether the battle is Culloden, but I'm not sure.

0:22:520:22:55

The city, it's either Glasgow or Strathclyde.

0:22:550:22:59

I don't know the First Minister,

0:22:590:23:01

but I'm going to go for the last one, and I think, I'm not 100%,

0:23:010:23:05

that it's Ian Rankin.

0:23:050:23:07

Ian Rankin, says Julie.

0:23:070:23:08

23 is your target, which looks like this.

0:23:080:23:12

There is your red line. Get below that, you are in the head-to-head.

0:23:120:23:16

Ohh!

0:23:160:23:17

Martin and Bill, a lot riding on this.

0:23:170:23:19

Ian Rankin. Let's see how many of our 100 people said Ian Rankin.

0:23:190:23:23

-It's right.

-Wow.

0:23:270:23:29

Still going down, Julie.

0:23:300:23:33

Oh, you've done it! Look at that - 22.

0:23:330:23:35

You needed 23 and you've got 22.

0:23:350:23:37

Now that is economy.

0:23:370:23:39

93 is your total, you are through to the head-to-head.

0:23:400:23:43

Look at those three scores there - very close all round.

0:23:430:23:46

Terrific round, everybody.

0:23:460:23:47

Ian Rankin, wonderful, Ian Rankin.

0:23:470:23:49

Everything he writes, he's such a terrific novelist.

0:23:490:23:52

The 1746 battle, you were correct, it's Culloden.

0:23:530:23:56

-Was it?

-That would have scored you too many points though.

0:23:560:23:58

-Oh.

-That would have scored you 33,

0:23:580:24:00

so you were right to go with Ian Rankin.

0:24:000:24:02

The city is Glasgow.

0:24:020:24:04

Glasgow.

0:24:040:24:05

Too many points for that as well, 61 points.

0:24:050:24:07

The best answer on the board is the politician, Jack McConnell.

0:24:070:24:11

Oh, I was going to say Donald Dewar.

0:24:110:24:12

-Right, sorry.

-Jack McConnell, he would have scored you 3 points.

0:24:120:24:15

Very well done if you said that.

0:24:150:24:17

Thank you very much indeed.

0:24:170:24:18

At the end of our second round, the pair we're saying goodbye to,

0:24:180:24:21

I'm afraid it's our quizzers over there on the far podium,

0:24:210:24:23

Martin and Bill. I am so sorry.

0:24:230:24:25

Very close, though.

0:24:250:24:27

Probably need to start quizzing in Scotland more.

0:24:270:24:29

-Maybe, just a thought.

-Just a thought.

0:24:290:24:31

Well, look how close that is, 82, 93, 95.

0:24:310:24:34

Very exciting and satisfactory grouping at the top there.

0:24:340:24:38

But, Martin and Bill, I'm sorry to say goodbye to you now.

0:24:380:24:40

We will see you again next time, we look forward to that.

0:24:400:24:43

Thanks very much. Martin and Bill.

0:24:430:24:45

But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.

0:24:470:24:50

Many, many congratulations, Dean and Gary, Janet and Julie,

0:24:560:24:59

you are now one step closer to the final

0:24:590:25:01

and a chance to play for that jackpot which is currently standing at...

0:25:010:25:06

Well, it's our civil servants versus our sisters.

0:25:060:25:09

That's a match we haven't really had before, I don't think.

0:25:110:25:14

But, Dean and Gary, you were round one exiteers last time.

0:25:140:25:18

So, yes, you haven't been this far, and, Janet and Julie,

0:25:180:25:20

this is your first appearance on the show.

0:25:200:25:22

So who knows what's going to happen?

0:25:220:25:24

But best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.

0:25:240:25:27

OK. Here is your first question and it concerns...

0:25:340:25:37

Like Janet and Julie today.

0:25:410:25:42

We are going to show you five pictures now of people

0:25:420:25:45

who have played siblings on-screen,

0:25:450:25:46

but we've obscured someone in each of the photographs.

0:25:460:25:49

We need you to tell us who we have obscured in each of these, please.

0:25:490:25:51

Best of luck. The actor we're looking for who is obscured in each of these pictures.

0:25:510:25:56

OK. The missing sibling in each of these

0:25:560:25:58

screen sibling partnerships. And here they are.

0:25:580:26:00

We have got...

0:26:000:26:02

Now, Dean and Gary, you've been our low scorers, so you will go first.

0:26:260:26:30

Feel free to confer.

0:26:300:26:32

OK. We know a lot of them.

0:26:400:26:42

But we're going to go for D, for Kelsey Grammer.

0:26:420:26:47

Kelsey Grammer, say Dean and Gary. Kelsey Grammer.

0:26:470:26:50

Now, Janet and Julie,

0:26:500:26:52

do you want to talk us through the rest of the board?

0:26:520:26:55

A is Pauline Quirke, we don't know B at all.

0:26:550:26:58

C is Nicholas Lyndhurst and E, we think, is Courteney Cox.

0:26:580:27:02

-We are going to go for...

-Courteney Cox.

0:27:020:27:04

-E, Courteney Cox.

-E, Courteney Cox.

0:27:040:27:07

So we have Kelsey Grammer and we have Courteney Cox.

0:27:070:27:09

Dean and Gary went for Kelsey Grammer for D.

0:27:090:27:12

Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.

0:27:120:27:16

It's right.

0:27:170:27:18

Oh, look at that. Down it goes,

0:27:220:27:24

15.

0:27:240:27:26

I can't work out... I can't call this one at all because Courteney Cox,

0:27:300:27:34

Kelsey Grammer...

0:27:340:27:35

Let's find out.

0:27:350:27:37

Courteney Cox for E is what Janet and Julie have gone for.

0:27:370:27:41

Is it good enough to beat Kelsey Grammer?

0:27:410:27:43

Let's find out.

0:27:430:27:44

Down it goes. It's going to be close.

0:27:500:27:53

-Oh!

-Well done.

0:27:530:27:55

Very well done indeed. Kelsey Grammer, Dean and Gary.

0:27:560:28:00

After one question, you are up 1-0.

0:28:000:28:02

Yeah, that was very close.

0:28:020:28:04

You chose the best one of the ones you knew, though.

0:28:040:28:06

The other two that you mentioned, Pauline Quirke was A.

0:28:060:28:10

She would have scored too many points, 39.

0:28:100:28:13

You were right about C as well. It is Nicholas Lyndhurst.

0:28:130:28:16

Surprisingly low score for Nicholas Lyndhurst, 46 points.

0:28:160:28:18

-Wow.

-Obviously the character name everyone knows,

0:28:180:28:21

but you would have thought that he would have scored more.

0:28:210:28:23

And the best answer on the board, cos it's a pointless answer,

0:28:230:28:26

from the wonderful Modern Family,

0:28:260:28:28

she plays Hayley and it's Sarah Hyland.

0:28:280:28:31

Very well done if you said that at home.

0:28:310:28:33

Thanks very much indeed, Richard.

0:28:330:28:35

So here comes your second question.

0:28:350:28:37

Janet and Julie, you will get to answer it first.

0:28:370:28:39

But you have to win it to stay in the game.

0:28:390:28:41

So best of luck with that.

0:28:410:28:43

Our second question this afternoon is all about...

0:28:430:28:46

Historical Fashion, Richard.

0:28:460:28:49

Yes, five clues now to historical fashion items and accessories.

0:28:490:28:52

We're also going to give you the first letter of each answer.

0:28:520:28:55

Marvellous. Thank you very much.

0:28:560:28:57

Let's reveal our clues to historical fashion items.

0:28:570:29:01

And here they are...

0:29:010:29:02

I'll read those again.

0:29:240:29:27

Janet and Julie, you will go first.

0:29:430:29:45

(Bustle or cravat?)

0:29:460:29:49

(No, no, I think that's too high. We'll go for bustle.)

0:29:500:29:53

OK, we're going to for the top one, bustle.

0:29:540:29:58

Bustle, say Janet and Julie.

0:29:580:30:00

Bustle for the top one.

0:30:000:30:02

Now then, Dean and Gary, do you want to talk us through the rest?

0:30:020:30:06

We know a few of them. The wide strip of fabric would be a collar,

0:30:060:30:11

an item of boned underwear is a corset,

0:30:110:30:14

the starched frill worn around the neck would be the ruff,

0:30:140:30:18

and we're not sure about the stiffened petticoat.

0:30:180:30:23

We're going to go with the starched frill as a ruff.

0:30:230:30:25

A ruff. So we have bustle and we have ruff.

0:30:250:30:28

Julie and Janet said bustle for the top one. Let's see if that's right,

0:30:280:30:31

let's see how many of our 100 said bustle.

0:30:310:30:33

51 for bustle.

0:30:410:30:43

Dean and Gary, meanwhile, have gone for ruff.

0:30:460:30:48

Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.

0:30:480:30:51

62.

0:30:580:30:59

That's exactly what you needed, Julie and Janet - you're back in the game.

0:31:000:31:04

After two questions, it's 1-1.

0:31:040:31:05

Coincidentally, Ruff Bustle is my rap name.

0:31:050:31:08

LAUGHTER

0:31:080:31:10

That's nice, isn't it? Isn't it?

0:31:100:31:11

Now, gents, 62 was too many points,

0:31:110:31:13

but you would have got through to the final with the second answer,

0:31:130:31:17

the wide strip of fabric, but it's not a collar.

0:31:170:31:19

So you wouldn't have done. It's a cravat.

0:31:210:31:23

-Cravat.

-Yes, cravat.

0:31:230:31:25

Named after those Croat mercenaries.

0:31:250:31:26

48 point for that.

0:31:260:31:28

The boned underwear is, of course, a corset.

0:31:280:31:30

That would have scored 93 points.

0:31:310:31:33

A big score. And the stiffened petticoat is a crinoline.

0:31:330:31:36

Would have scored you 29.

0:31:360:31:39

Best answer on the board there at the bottom.

0:31:390:31:42

Thanks very much, Richard.

0:31:420:31:43

OK, it all comes down to the third question.

0:31:430:31:45

Whoever wins this goes through to the final to play for that jackpot.

0:31:450:31:48

Best of luck to both pairs.

0:31:480:31:49

Our third question this afternoon concerns...

0:31:490:31:52

Bad songs, essentially.

0:31:550:31:57

We're going to show you five songs now containing the word bad.

0:31:570:32:01

We need you to tell us who had a hit with these songs, please.

0:32:010:32:03

We've given you those initials too.

0:32:030:32:05

Whoever gives us the most obscure answer is going through to play for the jackpot.

0:32:050:32:08

OK, let's reveal our five songs and here they are.

0:32:080:32:11

We have got...

0:32:130:32:14

Now, Dean and Gary, you will go first.

0:32:370:32:39

(The second one is Bon Jovi, obviously.

0:32:390:32:41

-(The bottom one is Lady Gaga, Bad Romance.

-Shall we go with that?

0:32:410:32:45

(Bon Jovi?)

0:32:450:32:47

Yeah, we're going to try the second one, You Give Love A Bad Name, Bon Jovi.

0:32:470:32:52

Bon Jovi, say Dean and Gary, Bon Jovi.

0:32:520:32:55

Now then, Julie and Janet, do you want to talk us through the rest of the board?

0:32:550:32:59

The bottom one we think is Lady Gaga, we don't know the fourth one,

0:32:590:33:02

the third one down, Bad Boys, Wham!

0:33:020:33:05

But we're going to go for the first one, Creedence Clearwater Revival.

0:33:050:33:08

Creedence Clearwater Revival, say Janet and Julie.

0:33:080:33:12

So we have Bon Jovi and we have Creedence Clearwater Revival.

0:33:120:33:15

Now then, Dean and Gary went for Bon Jovi. Let's see if that's right.

0:33:150:33:18

Let's see how many people said it.

0:33:180:33:20

It's right.

0:33:230:33:24

Wow.

0:33:290:33:30

12 for Bon Jovi.

0:33:310:33:33

Janet and Julie, meanwhile, have gone for Creedence Clearwater Revival.

0:33:370:33:41

Let's see how many people said that.

0:33:410:33:43

It's right. It has to go down to 12 and...

0:33:470:33:51

Oh! 38!

0:33:510:33:53

38 for Creedence Clearwater Revival.

0:33:560:33:58

There we are. Which means well done, Dean and Gary,

0:34:000:34:03

after three questions you are through to the final 2-1.

0:34:030:34:06

Yes, the biggest answer on the board, Creedence Clearwater Revival.

0:34:060:34:09

I think the initials, there's three of them and the song is so famous.

0:34:090:34:13

Very interesting, the psychology of the people who answer the questions,

0:34:130:34:16

I have to say. This next one down, Bad Boys, which is Wham!,

0:34:160:34:19

famous song but very low scorer.

0:34:190:34:21

-It would have scored you 8 points.

-Oh, no!

-Wow.

0:34:210:34:23

And that's again because it's just W and you've got such

0:34:230:34:26

little time to answer it when you are one of 100 people.

0:34:260:34:29

You've got your 100 seconds, you are answering all these things.

0:34:290:34:31

Bad Day, this is the best answer on the board.

0:34:310:34:34

Daniel Powter.

0:34:340:34:36

Canadian, I think.

0:34:360:34:38

And even Lady Gaga at the bottom there.

0:34:380:34:41

Only scored 14. It goes to show, doesn't it?

0:34:410:34:44

It's just sometimes the brain sees a series of initials and it sparks something off.

0:34:440:34:49

-Yeah.

-I think maybe three initials,

0:34:490:34:52

perhaps that does something to the brain that two initials doesn't do.

0:34:520:34:55

Interesting. Thanks very much indeed, Richard.

0:34:550:34:58

So the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round, I'm sorry,

0:34:580:35:01

Julie and Janet, I could hear from the sounds you were making that you

0:35:010:35:05

were surprised and slightly dismayed by the turnout there.

0:35:050:35:08

But you had Wham! You had Wham! so you could have gone for Wham!

0:35:080:35:12

Anyway, we've all had an insight

0:35:120:35:14

into the psychology of our 100 people there,

0:35:140:35:16

which I'm sure you'll be able to put to good use when you come back next time.

0:35:160:35:19

We look forward to that very much.

0:35:190:35:22

In the meantime, thanks very much. Janet and Julie.

0:35:220:35:25

But for Dean and Gary, it is now time for our Pointless final.

0:35:260:35:28

Congratulations, Dean and Gary.

0:35:330:35:35

You have fought off all the competition and you have won

0:35:350:35:38

our coveted Pointless trophy.

0:35:380:35:39

You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.

0:35:450:35:48

At the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at...

0:35:480:35:51

There it is. What do you want to see in this last round -

0:35:510:35:54

anything in particular?

0:35:540:35:55

We'd love a bit of sport.

0:35:550:35:57

A bit of sport. There is always usually a bit of sport.

0:35:570:36:01

Even if it comes smuggled in under some other pretext.

0:36:010:36:03

Sport we can probably rely on.

0:36:030:36:05

Anything else, any other areas of expertise?

0:36:050:36:08

Nail that down to Wolverhampton Wanderers in football in sport.

0:36:080:36:11

I think now you're getting cheeky, Gary.

0:36:110:36:13

Best of luck. You know what happens.

0:36:130:36:14

We'll put four things up on the board, usually fairly bewildering things,

0:36:140:36:18

but let's hope there's something there you quite like the look of.

0:36:180:36:20

Today's selection looks very much like this.

0:36:200:36:23

I think you can rule out one or two. Three or four. You choose.

0:36:300:36:33

I think we'll go with the sport one probably.

0:36:330:36:35

Yeah, OK. We'll go with Olympic Jumping Events.

0:36:350:36:38

Olympic Jumping Events, Richard.

0:36:380:36:40

Very best of luck, gents. We are looking for anyone who has won a medal of any colour

0:36:400:36:43

in the Olympics since 1968 in any of the following three

0:36:430:36:46

events, please.

0:36:460:36:47

Any medallist in the long jump,

0:36:470:36:49

any medallist in the high jump and, you can probably guess the next one,

0:36:490:36:52

any medallist in the triple jump, please.

0:36:520:36:55

So from 1968 through to 2012, gold, silver,

0:36:550:36:57

bronze medallists in any of those three events, please.

0:36:570:37:00

-Very best of luck.

-Thanks very much indeed.

0:37:000:37:02

Now, as always, you've got up to a minute to come up with three answers,

0:37:020:37:05

and all you need to win that jackpot is for just one of those answers to be pointless. Are you ready?

0:37:050:37:09

-Yes.

-Very good.

0:37:090:37:11

Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.

0:37:110:37:12

There they are. Your time starts now.

0:37:120:37:15

-Yeah, Greg Rutherford was the...

-Greg Rutherford.

0:37:170:37:19

Long jumper.

0:37:190:37:21

Carl Lewis.

0:37:210:37:22

Carl Lewis was long jump.

0:37:230:37:25

Same sort of time.

0:37:270:37:29

Going back further. Bob Beamon.

0:37:320:37:34

Was a record held for a long, long time.

0:37:340:37:37

-In the long jump, wasn't it?

-He was, yes.

0:37:380:37:40

-Triple...

-We're going to have to get that right then.

0:37:420:37:45

I think Carl Lewis is...

0:37:450:37:48

a good one because people associate him with sprinting, not jumping.

0:37:480:37:51

That was long jump, wasn't it?

0:37:510:37:54

-Yeah.

-Carl Lewis for long jump.

0:37:540:37:56

Bob Beamon. Take a risk. Which one did he do?

0:37:560:37:59

Was he...?

0:37:590:38:00

It was a massive distance.

0:38:020:38:03

-Ten seconds left.

-OK. I think it was possibly triple.

0:38:030:38:06

-And Greg Rutherford.

-And Greg Rutherford.

0:38:060:38:09

Bob Beamon, Greg Rutherford and Carl Lewis.

0:38:090:38:13

OK, that is your time up.

0:38:130:38:15

Sounds like you've arrived at your three answers.

0:38:150:38:17

What are they going to be? If you say which category you are answering in,

0:38:170:38:20

-that would be great.

-We're going to go for Greg Rutherford

0:38:200:38:23

in the long jump.

0:38:230:38:26

Greg Rutherford.

0:38:260:38:28

Carl Lewis, long jump.

0:38:280:38:29

Yes. Carl Lewis.

0:38:290:38:31

And we're going to go with Bob Beamon.

0:38:310:38:33

As you probably heard, we couldn't make our mind up which one he'd done,

0:38:330:38:37

-but we'll go triple jump.

-Triple jump for Bob Beamon.

0:38:370:38:39

OK. Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?

0:38:390:38:43

I think Carl Lewis because most people think he's a sprinter.

0:38:430:38:46

-And forget about the jumping ones.

-Yes. OK, put Carl Lewis last.

0:38:460:38:48

Least likely to be pointless?

0:38:480:38:50

-Probably Greg Rutherford.

-Greg Rutherford and then Beamon in the middle.

0:38:500:38:53

OK, perfect, let's pop those on the board in that order.

0:38:530:38:55

And here they are. We've got...

0:38:550:38:58

Well, best of luck. If one of those answers turns out to be pointless,

0:39:000:39:03

what would you do with that money?

0:39:030:39:06

Well, I quite like adrenaline experience days and I've had a passion since

0:39:060:39:10

I was a small child to learn how to ride a speedway bike.

0:39:100:39:13

OK, put it towards that.

0:39:130:39:14

-Gary, how about you?

-Well,

0:39:140:39:15

I would put it towards taking my little girl to Lapland.

0:39:150:39:18

Me and my wife have taken our two boys and we'd like to take her at

0:39:180:39:21

-Christmas this year.

-Lovely. Very nice indeed. OK.

0:39:210:39:24

Well, let's look at your first answer, Greg Rutherford.

0:39:240:39:27

In this case we were looking for a long jump medal winners.

0:39:270:39:29

Only one of these has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot,

0:39:290:39:32

but if Greg Rutherford is pointless, it will win you £1,000.

0:39:320:39:35

How many of our 100 people said Greg Rutherford?

0:39:350:39:38

It's right.

0:39:410:39:42

Greg Rutherford now taking us down through the 60s and the 50s.

0:39:420:39:45

If this goes all the way down to zero, you leave here with £1,000.

0:39:450:39:48

Down through the 20s. Into the teens.

0:39:480:39:51

16.

0:39:510:39:52

Not a bad answer.

0:39:550:39:57

I got the feeling he was slightly filling that first place for you anyway.

0:39:570:40:00

Only two more shots at today's jackpot.

0:40:000:40:02

Your next answer was Bob Beamon.

0:40:020:40:05

In this case we were looking for triple jump medal winners,

0:40:050:40:08

that's the one you nominated for Bob Beamon.

0:40:080:40:09

If this is right, if this is pointless, you will leave here with £1,000.

0:40:090:40:13

How many people said Bob Beamon for the triple jump?

0:40:130:40:16

Bad luck.

0:40:200:40:22

We will discover why that is wrong shortly.

0:40:220:40:24

But that means you only have one more shot at today's jackpot,

0:40:240:40:26

which means everything is now riding on Carl Lewis.

0:40:260:40:30

This was your most confident shot at a pointless answer.

0:40:300:40:34

You were hoping most people would think of Carl Lewis as a sprinter,

0:40:340:40:36

not a long jumper.

0:40:360:40:38

But we are going for long jump medal winners.

0:40:380:40:40

It Carl Lewis is pointless, it will win you £1,000.

0:40:400:40:43

How many people said Carl Lewis?

0:40:430:40:45

Well, it's right. As was Greg Rutherford,

0:40:480:40:51

who took us all the way down to 16.

0:40:510:40:53

Bob Beamon, unfortunately, an incorrect answer,

0:40:530:40:55

but Carl Lewis now taking us down through the teens.

0:40:550:40:58

12, bad luck.

0:40:580:41:00

Well, appropriately, you had a good run at that but I'm afraid

0:41:050:41:08

you just didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer,

0:41:080:41:12

so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £1,000.

0:41:120:41:14

That will roll over on to the next show

0:41:140:41:16

but we really enjoyed having you on, two shows you've been on.

0:41:160:41:19

Out in Round One last time but this time, very good account you have made of yourselves.

0:41:190:41:23

I'm sorry we didn't get to send you away with the prize but

0:41:230:41:25

you get a Pointless trophy each to take home.

0:41:250:41:27

-That's great.

-Fantastic.

-Very well done indeed. Dean and Gary.

0:41:270:41:30

Yes, very well played, gents.

0:41:340:41:36

Bob Beamon, a long jumper,

0:41:360:41:37

he held that world record for like 20-odd years.

0:41:370:41:39

He would have scored you 4 points, though, for long jump.

0:41:390:41:42

So, fortunately, was not a pointless answer in that category either.

0:41:420:41:45

Loads of pointless answers,

0:41:450:41:46

including a few Brits in some of these categories.

We'll start with long jump medal winners...

0:41:490:41:52

Everyone for the long jump was a pointless answer

0:41:570:42:00

apart from Greg Rutherford, Carl Lewis, Bob Beamon.

0:42:000:42:03

There was Mike Powell, he would have scored you points.

0:42:030:42:06

Jackie Joyner and also Heike Dreschler.

0:42:060:42:08

The German would have scored you points.

0:42:080:42:10

Everyone else a pointless answer on that list.

0:42:100:42:12

The high jump medal winners now...

0:42:120:42:14

Robert Grabarz, a British bronze medallist.

0:42:160:42:18

He was a pointless answer, unbelievably.

0:42:180:42:20

Every single high jumper who won any medal at all since 1968 was

0:42:240:42:27

pointless, other than Steve Smith and Dick Fosbury.

0:42:270:42:30

Dick Fosbury, of course, we know from the Fosbury flop.

0:42:300:42:33

And triple jump medal winners...

0:42:330:42:36

Some famous names here.

0:42:360:42:37

Christian Olsson, who won gold in the triple jump.

0:42:390:42:42

Francoise Mbango Etone won two golds

0:42:420:42:44

and Viktor Saneyev won three golds

0:42:440:42:47

in the triple jump. Everyone there a pointless answer

0:42:470:42:50

apart from Jonathan Edwards, unsurprisingly, Phillips Idowu,

0:42:500:42:53

Keith Connor, another Brit who would have scored you points.

0:42:530:42:56

Christian Taylor, Mike Conley, and Kenny Harrison.

0:42:560:42:58

Everybody else was a pointless answer.

0:42:580:43:00

Very well done at home if you got any of those,

0:43:000:43:02

and tough in one minute to come up with some of those names, guys.

0:43:020:43:06

Thanks very much.

0:43:060:43:07

Well, sadly, Dean and Gary didn't when our jackpot today,

0:43:070:43:10

which means it will roll over on to the next show when we will be playing for £2,000.

0:43:100:43:14

Join us then, see if someone can win it.

0:43:170:43:19

Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...

0:43:190:43:21

-Goodbye.

-And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
