APPLAUSE Thank you very much indeed.

0:00:190:00:22

Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,

0:00:220:00:25

the show where the lowest scorers are the biggest winners.

0:00:250:00:27

Let's meet today's players.

0:00:270:00:29

And couple number one.

0:00:320:00:34

Hello, I'm Nick. This is my friend Adam.

0:00:340:00:36

Adam is from London and I'm from Surrey.

0:00:360:00:38

-Couple number two.

-Hi, I'm Kas. This is my fiance, Mark.

0:00:380:00:41

And we're from Ipswich.

0:00:410:00:42

-Couple number three.

-Hi, I'm John.

0:00:420:00:44

This is my lovely daughter, Katie, and we're from Staines-upon-Thames.

0:00:440:00:48

And finally, couple number four.

0:00:480:00:50

Hi, I'm Chrissie, and this is Sue.

0:00:500:00:51

Sue's from London and I'm from Essex.

0:00:510:00:54

And these are today's contestants. APPLAUSE

0:00:540:00:57

Thanks very much to all of you. Four pairs of contestants -

0:00:570:01:00

we'll find out more about each of you throughout the show as

0:01:000:01:02

it goes along, so that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.

0:01:020:01:06

He's got knowledge so wide,

0:01:060:01:07

Richard Branson won't even attempt to fly a balloon across it.

0:01:070:01:10

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

0:01:100:01:12

-APPLAUSE

-Hiya. Hi, everybody.

0:01:120:01:15

-Good afternoon to you.

-And to you.

-Are you well?

-I am well.

-Excellent.

0:01:170:01:20

What a jackpot round we had last time, didn't we? Chris and Hannah.

0:01:200:01:24

-Yeah.

-Cos Hannah worked for cricket charities, that was her job,

0:01:240:01:27

and English cricket came up as a category,

0:01:270:01:30

which obviously they chose.

0:01:300:01:31

Actually, it took them a while to choose it, but they did choose it.

0:01:310:01:35

-Yeah.

-And ended up with a 1-pointer.

0:01:350:01:37

-Uh.

-Tough, right?

-Really tough.

0:01:370:01:39

Katie and John were on that show, got through to the head-to-head,

0:01:390:01:42

so they are going to be very tough to beat for our new pairs.

0:01:420:01:45

As John says, he's from Staines-on-Thames,

0:01:450:01:46

-which of course is the new name of Staines.

-That's right.

0:01:460:01:49

So they changed the name of Staines to try to make it sound

0:01:490:01:51

slightly more...slightly nicer,

0:01:510:01:53

and they called it Staines-on-Thames.

0:01:530:01:55

-That's not good, is it?

-That's... If anything, that's worse.

0:01:550:01:57

LAUGHTER

0:01:570:02:00

-That's true, it's like it's a blot on Thames' copybook, isn't it?

-Yeah.

0:02:000:02:04

-Is it Staines-on-Thames or upon?

-Upon. UPON.

0:02:040:02:06

-Oh, that's much nicer.

-As in Kingston upon Thames

0:02:060:02:09

-and Richmond upon Thames.

-See, they all sound lovely.

0:02:090:02:12

LAUGHTER

0:02:120:02:14

Richmond upon Thames, that's beautiful. Staines-upon-Thames...

0:02:140:02:18

You think, "Well, take them off."

0:02:180:02:19

LAUGHTER

0:02:190:02:22

I like Staines-upon-Thames.

0:02:220:02:23

We'll come to love it. ALEXANDER SIGHS NOISILY

0:02:230:02:27

-Shall we play Pointless?

-Yeah, come on, let's do it.

0:02:270:02:30

Let's play pointless. Thank you very much.

0:02:300:02:32

Now, Chris and Hannah didn't win the jackpot, so we will add another

0:02:320:02:35

£1,000 that, so today's jackpot will actually start off at £3,000.

0:02:350:02:38

There we are. APPLAUSE AND OOHS

0:02:380:02:40

Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.

0:02:420:02:46

Now, the pair with the highest score at the end of each round will

0:02:490:02:53

be eliminated, so do your best to find those low-scoring answers.

0:02:530:02:56

Our first category today is...

0:02:560:02:57

It's a words round.

0:03:000:03:01

Can you all decide in your pairs

0:03:010:03:03

who's going first, who's going second?

0:03:030:03:05

And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.

0:03:050:03:08

OK, and the question is all about...

0:03:110:03:16

The NATO phonetic alphabet, Richard.

0:03:170:03:19

On each board, we'll show you seven clues.

0:03:190:03:21

The answers to those clues all contain

0:03:210:03:23

a word that is in the NATO phonetic alphabet.

0:03:230:03:25

Just need you to give us an obscure answer, please.

0:03:250:03:28

There's going to be 14 in all to have a go at, at home. Best of luck.

0:03:280:03:31

Thanks very much indeed.

0:03:310:03:33

OK, so let's reveal our first board of seven clues, and here they come.

0:03:330:03:36

I shall say all of those one last time.

0:04:090:04:12

-There we go. Nick, welcome to Pointless.

-Hello.

0:04:380:04:40

Good to have you here. What do you do, Nick?

0:04:400:04:42

I work for a financial advice company.

0:04:420:04:44

-Ah. Have you got any advice for us?

-Um, you know, just save...

0:04:440:04:48

-Money.

-Brilliant.

-Try to spend less.

-Spend less, save more.

0:04:480:04:53

OK, that is good. How long have you worked for the financial advice...?

0:04:530:04:57

-Just over three years.

-OK. Very good.

0:04:570:05:00

How up to speed are you on your phonetic alphabet, do you think?

0:05:000:05:03

I'm OK, I was just sort of going through it in my head.

0:05:030:05:06

I think I'm going to go for the third one down.

0:05:060:05:10

I think it is a delta.

0:05:100:05:11

Delta, says Nick. Delta. Let's see if that's right.

0:05:110:05:14

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

0:05:140:05:17

Not bad, 29.

0:05:240:05:26

29 for delta.

0:05:280:05:30

Nice start, Nick. They're called deltas because a lot of them form

0:05:300:05:34

triangle shapes, which is the shape of the letter delta.

0:05:340:05:37

-Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Now, Kas, welcome.

-Hiya.

0:05:370:05:40

Welcome to Pointless. Great to have you here. What do you do, Kas?

0:05:400:05:44

I work for a well-known supermarket as a non-food stock controller.

0:05:440:05:48

Right, so you're basically filling the shelves,

0:05:480:05:50

making sure there are no gaps?

0:05:500:05:52

I don't really fill this shelves, I just make sure that all the

0:05:520:05:56

stock levels are correct, make sure the stock comes in.

0:05:560:05:59

OK, so if there is suddenly a run on toothpaste,

0:05:590:06:01

you have to make sure...

0:06:010:06:03

-I mean, is it every aisle or...?

-I generally cover health and beauty.

0:06:030:06:08

So toothpaste was absolutely right there.

0:06:080:06:10

-Yeah.

-Fabulous. Now, Kas.

-Mm-hm.

0:06:100:06:12

What would you like to go for on this phonetic alphabet board?

0:06:120:06:15

Right, I think I'll go for the ballroom dance and say foxtrot.

0:06:150:06:20

You'll say foxtrot. Kas says foxtrot. Let's see if it's right.

0:06:200:06:23

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

0:06:230:06:25

It's right.

0:06:270:06:28

Well played, Kas. Named after the vaudeville actor Harry Fox.

0:06:380:06:42

-There we go. John. Welcome back.

-Thank you.

0:06:420:06:45

Now, remind us what you like getting up to in Staines.

0:06:450:06:48

What I like getting up to. I play the drums in a couple of bands.

0:06:480:06:51

What kind of bands are they?

0:06:510:06:52

Well, they are the oldest rock bands you've ever met.

0:06:520:06:55

We've got a guitarist in our band, he's 87.

0:06:550:06:57

Wow!

0:06:570:06:58

87. I'm one of the youngest. 73, I'm one of the youngest in the band.

0:06:580:07:02

-Fantastic.

-The name of that band, the Rolling Stones.

0:07:020:07:05

-LAUGHTER

-They're boys compared with us.

0:07:050:07:09

We're called The Taverners, we're named after drinking.

0:07:090:07:12

-That's quite an old name for drinkers as well, isn't it?

-Yeah.

0:07:120:07:15

But I like that. Very nice indeed.

0:07:150:07:17

Now, John, what would you like to go for?

0:07:170:07:18

I'm going to go for the bottom one, I've remembered.

0:07:180:07:21

I think that's Lima.

0:07:210:07:23

Lima. Lima, says John.

0:07:230:07:25

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

0:07:250:07:29

Well, it is right.

0:07:310:07:32

32 is our high score, 29 our low, so pretty tight

0:07:320:07:35

for your 37.

0:07:350:07:37

37 for Lima, that is higher than I was expecting.

0:07:370:07:40

I thought we were going to have a new low there.

0:07:400:07:42

Pretty tight, isn't it, between those first three podiums?

0:07:420:07:45

Yeah, Lima, absolutely. Lots of foodies go there now for holidays.

0:07:450:07:48

-Some of the best restaurants in the world in Lima.

-Thank you very much.

0:07:480:07:52

Now, Chrissie, welcome to the show. Great to have you here.

0:07:520:07:55

-What do you do, Chrissie?

-I am an exams administrator.

-For?

0:07:550:07:58

-For doctors.

-Oh, really? And, Chrissie,

0:07:580:08:02

-what are your interests outside medical examining?

-I like baking.

0:08:020:08:05

I like arts and crafts.

0:08:050:08:07

I make my own birthday cards, gift boxes, things like that.

0:08:070:08:11

Very nice. Very nice.

0:08:110:08:12

Now, Chrissie, you're the last person,

0:08:120:08:14

would you like to talk us through it?

0:08:140:08:15

I think the top one might be javelin,

0:08:150:08:19

but I'm not sure and I don't really want to take a guess.

0:08:190:08:22

But the only one that I do know is the month in which men grow

0:08:220:08:26

moustaches, which is, I think, November.

0:08:260:08:29

OK, you're going to go for that one? November, says Chrissie.

0:08:290:08:32

Let's see if that's right.

0:08:320:08:33

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

0:08:330:08:36

It's right.

0:08:380:08:39

Oi, oi. 73.

0:08:390:08:41

73 for November.

0:08:430:08:45

It started in 2003, 30 people.

0:08:460:08:50

Now over 4 million a year take part in Movember.

0:08:500:08:54

-Amazing, isn't it?

-Yeah.

0:08:540:08:56

Shall we fill in the rest of this board?

0:08:560:08:58

-We'll take a look at the top one.

-Oh, it's javelin.

0:08:580:09:01

RICHARD LAUGHS

0:09:010:09:03

-It's not, I'm afraid. It is G for golf.

-Golf, yeah.

0:09:030:09:06

-Would've scored 37.

-Now, the introductory course?

0:09:060:09:09

-Alpha.

-The Alpha course, yeah. It's the best answer, actually.

0:09:090:09:13

It would have scored you 15 points.

0:09:130:09:14

Only just the best answer cos this last one... Again,

0:09:140:09:17

you can work it out if you go through your alphabet.

0:09:170:09:19

If someone says something that repeats words that are said to her?

0:09:190:09:22

-Echo.

-Echo.

-Echo.

-Echo.

-Echo.

0:09:220:09:26

-18 points for that.

-Thank you very much indeed, Richard.

0:09:260:09:28

Well, we're halfway through the round,

0:09:280:09:30

let's look at those scores.

0:09:300:09:31

The best score of that round was yours, Nick.

0:09:310:09:33

Very well done indeed. 29.

0:09:330:09:35

Who knew when it stopped at 29 that

0:09:350:09:37

that was actually really a top score?

0:09:370:09:40

Anyway, it is, so well done.

0:09:400:09:41

We travel up from there to 32,

0:09:410:09:43

where we find Kas and Mark.

0:09:430:09:44

Then up to 37, where we find John and Katie. Then up to 73,

0:09:440:09:47

Chrissie and Sue. Now, Sue,

0:09:470:09:50

you get the new board, so it'll be all yours.

0:09:500:09:52

Find a nice low score on there. Best of luck with that.

0:09:520:09:54

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

0:09:540:09:56

Can the second players please step up to the podium?

0:09:560:10:00

OK, let's put seven more clues up on the board, and here they are.

0:10:000:10:04

I will read all of those one last time.

0:10:350:10:37

There we are. Sue, we come to you. Sue, what do you do?

0:11:040:11:07

I work with Chrissie. I'm also an exams administrator.

0:11:070:11:10

-Also an administrator.

-Yeah.

-Do you work alongside each other or...?

0:11:100:11:14

We administer different exams, but, yes, we work in the same office.

0:11:140:11:16

What are your hobbies, Sue?

0:11:160:11:18

I like TV, film, music and I am an ardent follower of Take That,

0:11:180:11:23

to my shame.

0:11:230:11:24

-An ardent follower... You follow them to your shame?

-Well, yeah.

0:11:240:11:27

To my family's shame, I should probably say.

0:11:270:11:30

Oh, there's no shame at all about that.

0:11:300:11:31

-Did you cry when Robbie Williams left?

-No.

0:11:310:11:34

-Did you cry when he came back?

-Yes.

-LAUGHTER

0:11:340:11:37

There we are.

0:11:370:11:39

Now, Sue, there you are, you are the high-scorers - 73.

0:11:390:11:42

Look at this pristine board.

0:11:420:11:43

Have you decided which of those is going to be the lowest scorer?

0:11:430:11:47

I think I know a couple,

0:11:470:11:48

but I'm going to go with the second one, which I think is Zulu.

0:11:480:11:51

Zulu, says Sue. Zulu. No red line for you as you are the high-scorers.

0:11:510:11:55

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

0:11:550:11:58

It's right.

0:12:000:12:01

Oh, look at that, 3 for Zulu!

0:12:070:12:09

Look at that, Sue!

0:12:090:12:11

That is exactly what you needed.

0:12:110:12:13

That kind of low score, I think, might just keep you in the game.

0:12:130:12:16

76 is your new total.

0:12:160:12:18

Yeah, based on the Battle of Rorke's Drift

0:12:180:12:20

-from 1879.

-There we are.

0:12:200:12:22

Thanks very much. Now, Katie. Katie, welcome back. Remind us what you do.

0:12:220:12:27

-Actress/shop assistant.

-Shop assistant.

-Yes.

0:12:270:12:31

-But in a high-end shop.

-Yes.

-A shop that sells exclusively toiletries...

0:12:310:12:36

-High-end.

-..of the high-end.

-Yeah.

0:12:360:12:39

I'm trying to think...

0:12:390:12:40

You don't really come across that many shops that sell those things.

0:12:400:12:43

-You don't.

-It must be terribly exclusive.

-It's very.

0:12:430:12:46

-That's nice. Sort of nice soaps of interesting hues and flavours.

-Yes.

0:12:460:12:50

Do you sell those things that look like grissini?

0:12:500:12:54

-Oh, yeah, the diffusers.

-Diffusers, that's... Do you sell those?

0:12:540:12:59

-We do indeed.

-Ah, diffusers. There we are.

0:12:590:13:03

Katie, you're on 37.

0:13:030:13:04

The high-scorers at the moment are Chrissie and Sue, behind you,

0:13:040:13:07

on 76. 38 gets you into Round Two.

0:13:070:13:10

Oh, man.

0:13:100:13:12

I thought I was going to be well clever and say Zulu, but alas...

0:13:120:13:15

-That would have been well clever, we now know.

-Yeah.

0:13:150:13:18

I'm going to go with Grand Budapest,

0:13:180:13:22

-and it's hotel.

-Hotel.

0:13:220:13:25

Hotel, says Katie.

0:13:250:13:27

Here's your red line.

0:13:270:13:28

Get below that with the hotel, you're through to the next round.

0:13:280:13:31

How many people said hotel?

0:13:310:13:32

Oh!

0:13:370:13:38

59. Takes your total up to 96.

0:13:420:13:44

Yeah, big score.

0:13:440:13:45

Good film, nominated for nine Oscars, won four of them.

0:13:450:13:49

There you are. Thank you. Now, Mark.

0:13:490:13:51

Mark, welcome to the show.

0:13:510:13:54

What do you do, Mark?

0:13:540:13:56

I'm an onboard conductor for Greater Anglia Trains.

0:13:560:14:00

Now, how did you and Kas meet?

0:14:000:14:03

We met a couple of years ago.

0:14:030:14:05

I do believe you may correct me here, but we met on the pop aisle.

0:14:050:14:10

-You met on the pop aisle?

-The pop aisle of a well-known store.

0:14:100:14:15

Of a well-known store? I'm literally thinking Olive Oyl and Pop-aisle.

0:14:150:14:18

But, um... LAUGHTER

0:14:180:14:20

-That's where they keep the olive oil, isn't it?

-Yeah.

0:14:200:14:23

LAUGHTER Yes.

0:14:230:14:26

-Now, Mark, 32.

-OK.

-..is your score.

0:14:260:14:29

Katie and John are the high-scorers on 96.

0:14:290:14:32

What would you like to go for?

0:14:320:14:34

I'll go for the sixth one,

0:14:340:14:37

Canada's largest providence.

0:14:370:14:39

I'll say Quebec.

0:14:390:14:41

OK, Quebec, says Mark.

0:14:410:14:43

There is your red line.

0:14:430:14:45

If you get below that with Quebec, you are through to the next round.

0:14:450:14:47

How many of our 100 people said Quebec?

0:14:470:14:49

It's right.

0:14:510:14:54

You are through to the next round.

0:14:540:14:55

Just. 52.

0:14:550:14:57

-84 is your total.

-Well played, Mark.

0:14:590:15:02

Yeah, did exactly what you needed to do there. Safely through.

0:15:020:15:05

-Adam.

-Hi.

-Welcome to the show.

-Thank you.

0:15:050:15:08

What do you do, Adam?

0:15:080:15:09

I work in sports tourism,

0:15:090:15:11

so bringing people to London under the banner of sports.

0:15:110:15:14

-So what sort of sports do you look after?

-Mainly football.

0:15:140:15:17

Mainly football.

0:15:170:15:18

There's obviously a huge amount of interest in football in London.

0:15:180:15:21

Yeah, yeah.

0:15:210:15:22

Lots of Premiership clubs, so people love coming to watch it.

0:15:220:15:25

Very good indeed. Now, how do you and Nick know each other?

0:15:250:15:27

We worked together many years ago at a popular fast food restaurant where

0:15:270:15:31

you have to wear red and white stripes and be a bit wacky.

0:15:310:15:34

-Ah! How exhausting.

-It was.

0:15:340:15:37

-It really was.

-But was that fun?

-Uh...

0:15:370:15:40

-No.

-No! LAUGHTER

0:15:400:15:43

The premise was that you had to have fun the entire time.

0:15:430:15:46

-You had to wear hats to reflect your personality.

-Oh, that's fun!

0:15:460:15:49

And when you've done seven shifts in a row

0:15:490:15:51

and are forced to sing Happy Birthday for the tenth time

0:15:510:15:53

that night, you kind of lose all dignity.

0:15:530:15:55

-Yeah.

-I like the fact that you're forced to sing Happy Birthday.

-Yeah.

0:15:550:15:59

-Must always remember that when you are in a restaurant.

-That's true.

0:15:590:16:02

Now, Adam, you're on 29.

0:16:020:16:05

You have to score 66 or less to stay with us.

0:16:050:16:07

Do you want to talk us through that board?

0:16:070:16:09

Well, a form of electromagnetic radiation is X-ray.

0:16:090:16:12

And the green Sesame Street character is Oscar the Grouch.

0:16:120:16:16

I don't know the proceeds Nevada,

0:16:160:16:17

so I'm going to go for the top one,

0:16:170:16:19

which is the first name of the central character in the

0:16:190:16:22

long-running comic strip Peanuts, which is Charlie.

0:16:220:16:24

Charlie is the one you're going to say. Here's your red line.

0:16:240:16:27

Get below that with Charlie and you are into Round Two.

0:16:270:16:30

How many of our 100 people said Charlie?

0:16:300:16:32

It's right.

0:16:340:16:36

And you're through.

0:16:360:16:37

45 for Charlie.

0:16:380:16:40

Very well done indeed, Adam.

0:16:400:16:41

Takes your total up to 74.

0:16:410:16:42

Very well played, Adam. Let's fill in the rest of this board.

0:16:440:16:47

You're right about Oscar. Would have been a much scorer, actually.

0:16:470:16:51

It would have scored you 20 points. Do you know the Nevada one?

0:16:510:16:55

-Sierra.

-Sierra, absolutely.

0:16:550:16:57

That would have scored 38.

0:16:570:16:59

And you're right, Adam, about X-ray.

0:16:590:17:02

And that would have scored 29.

0:17:020:17:04

There we are, thank you very much indeed.

0:17:040:17:06

So at the end of our first round, the pair we have to say goodbye...

0:17:060:17:08

I'm so sorry, John and Katie. I'm so sorry!

0:17:080:17:10

-We were cocky.

-Head-to-headers last time.

0:17:100:17:13

I thought you were finalists for sure.

0:17:130:17:16

-Hey-ho.

-Hey-ho. Oh, well, I'm really sorry.

0:17:160:17:18

It's been lovely having you, thank you so much for playing.

0:17:180:17:20

-Thank you.

-Katie and John.

-Thank you.

0:17:200:17:22

APPLAUSE

0:17:220:17:25

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

0:17:250:17:28

Well, I mean, as you know, we shed a pair at the end of each round,

0:17:340:17:37

and you seem to have got rid of our only returning pair,

0:17:370:17:40

so, yeah, very good, well done, carry on is all I can say.

0:17:400:17:43

Best of luck to all three pairs.

0:17:430:17:44

Our category for Round Two today is...

0:17:440:17:47

It's Europe.

0:17:470:17:49

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

0:17:490:17:51

who's going second?

0:17:510:17:52

And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:17:520:17:55

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

0:17:570:18:00

We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name...

0:18:000:18:03

European Capitals of Culture, Richard.

0:18:080:18:10

Yeah, we're looking for any city that has been

0:18:100:18:13

a European City of Culture or European Capital of Culture

0:18:130:18:16

all the way through from 1985 up to and including 2016, please.

0:18:160:18:19

So any European City of Culture or European Capital of Culture.

0:18:190:18:23

Worth noting, we're not talking about UK Cities of Culture,

0:18:230:18:26

like Derry, places like that, but European capitals.

0:18:260:18:29

They can be from the UK,

0:18:290:18:30

but it has to be a European Capital of Culture

0:18:300:18:33

or a European City of Culture.

0:18:330:18:34

Right. Nick.

0:18:340:18:36

You are going to be going first.

0:18:360:18:37

-Yeah.

-European City or Capital of Culture.

0:18:370:18:41

-OK. I'm going to try Rotterdam.

-Rotterdam.

0:18:410:18:45

-Yeah.

-Is that a shot in the dark or is it...?

0:18:450:18:48

I think I've heard it somewhere, but, I mean, it could easily be 100.

0:18:480:18:52

OK. Rotterdam, says Nick.

0:18:520:18:54

Let's see if it is 100, or let's see if it is a brilliant answer.

0:18:540:18:57

It's a brilliant answer.

0:18:590:19:00

It's a pointless answer!

0:19:060:19:07

What about that?! Very well done indeed. Rotterdam.

0:19:070:19:11

It adds £250 to today's jackpot, takes it up to £3,250.

0:19:110:19:15

It scores you absolutely nothing

0:19:150:19:17

and earns you huge respect.

0:19:170:19:19

Very, very well done indeed, Nick. Rotterdam.

0:19:190:19:21

Very well played, Nick. Terrific answer.

0:19:210:19:23

Worth it just for how happy Adam looked as well.

0:19:230:19:26

LAUGHTER

0:19:260:19:27

Nick can't look that happy cos then you look a bit cocky,

0:19:270:19:29

-don't you?

-That's right.

-But inside, I know you are,

0:19:290:19:31

but Adam was showing every emotion that you were feeling inside.

0:19:310:19:34

-It's a lovely moment.

-Yeah, terrific answer. 2001, Rotterdam was...

0:19:340:19:38

-2001.

-..a City of Culture.

0:19:380:19:40

Now, Kas, what would you like to go for?

0:19:400:19:43

European City or Capital of Culture.

0:19:430:19:46

I'm just going to take a wild stab in the dark and say...

0:19:460:19:53

Luxembourg?

0:19:530:19:54

-No?

-Luxembourg.

0:19:560:19:59

Luxembourg. City of Culture. Let's see, is it right?

0:19:590:20:02

How many of our 100 people said Luxembourg?

0:20:020:20:05

It's right!

0:20:080:20:09

There you are, Luxembourg.

0:20:110:20:13

It could be another pointless answer.

0:20:130:20:15

Oh, 1!

0:20:150:20:17

ALEXANDER LAUGHS

0:20:170:20:20

There we are. Very well done.

0:20:220:20:24

-Oh, you're the high-scorers, though, Kas, I'm afraid.

-Oh!

0:20:240:20:28

1 for Luxembourg.

0:20:280:20:30

-Now, I enjoyed that for the look on YOUR face.

-Yeah!

0:20:300:20:33

Yeah, it has been twice, actually. 1995 and 2007.

0:20:330:20:36

-The capital of Luxembourg.

-Yeah.

0:20:360:20:39

There you are, brilliant.

0:20:390:20:40

Good.

0:20:400:20:41

There you are, you see?

0:20:410:20:42

Just shows... See?

0:20:420:20:45

Chrissie.

0:20:450:20:46

Um, I honestly don't know either,

0:20:470:20:50

so I'm just going to take a guess at...Prague?

0:20:500:20:54

Prague. Surely. Surely Prague. Let's find out.

0:20:540:20:58

How many of our 100 people said Prague?

0:20:580:21:01

It's right.

0:21:020:21:04

Well, 1 is our high score, 0 is our low.

0:21:040:21:08

4 for Prague!

0:21:090:21:11

Very well played, Chrissie.

0:21:160:21:18

If you're going to guess, that is a very, very good guess.

0:21:180:21:20

Yeah. Very good indeed.

0:21:200:21:21

We're halfway through, let's look at those scores.

0:21:210:21:23

Nothing for Nick. Well done.

0:21:230:21:25

Nick and Adam looking very strong.

0:21:250:21:26

Then up to 1, where we find Kas and Mark.

0:21:260:21:28

Up to 4, Chrissie and Sue.

0:21:280:21:30

I mean, there's nothing really in it, but, Sue,

0:21:300:21:33

you are ahead. That's all you have to acknowledge.

0:21:330:21:35

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

0:21:350:21:37

Can the second players please step up to the podium?

0:21:370:21:39

OK, so, Sue, remember we're looking for any city that's been

0:21:420:21:44

a European city, or Capital, of Culture.

0:21:440:21:47

There you are. Way ahead on 4.

0:21:470:21:50

No pressure! Um...Glasgow.

0:21:500:21:53

Glasgow, says Sue. Glasgow.

0:21:530:21:55

No red line for you as you're the high-scorers.

0:21:550:21:57

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

0:21:570:22:00

It's right.

0:22:020:22:03

45.

0:22:090:22:11

Taking your total up to 49.

0:22:110:22:13

Yeah, 1990, Glasgow.

0:22:130:22:16

Thanks, Richard. Now, Mark?

0:22:160:22:18

Er, I may go...for...

0:22:180:22:21

Liverpool.

0:22:210:22:23

OK. Liverpool, says Mark.

0:22:230:22:26

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

0:22:260:22:29

There is your red line.

0:22:290:22:30

It's right.

0:22:320:22:34

55, Mark,

0:22:380:22:39

taking your total up to 56.

0:22:390:22:42

Yeah, the big guns coming out in this part, aren't they?

0:22:420:22:45

2008 Liverpool was the European City of Culture.

0:22:450:22:49

There we are, thank you. Now then, Adam, you're on nothing.

0:22:490:22:53

You have to score 55 or less.

0:22:530:22:56

What are you going to go for?

0:22:560:22:59

I did have one, but it is a real guess,

0:22:590:23:01

and I've been there and I was pretty sure of it.

0:23:010:23:05

But considering where we are

0:23:050:23:06

and considering capital cities in Europe

0:23:060:23:08

and something that's got a bit of culture to it,

0:23:080:23:10

I'm going to go for Vienna.

0:23:100:23:12

-Vienna?

-Yeah.

-For fun, what was the one you were going to say?

0:23:120:23:16

-Seville.

-OK.

0:23:160:23:17

But you're going to go for Vienna. OK, here is your red line.

0:23:170:23:19

If you can get below this with Vienna,

0:23:190:23:21

you are through to the next round.

0:23:210:23:23

How many of our 100 people said Vienna?

0:23:230:23:25

Oh!

0:23:270:23:29

It's goodnight, Vienna, I'm afraid! Adam, look at that.

0:23:310:23:34

100 points. Now, I'm sorry.

0:23:340:23:37

Linz and Graz in Austria have both been Capitals of Culture,

0:23:370:23:40

both pointless answers as well, but not Vienna.

0:23:400:23:42

If you'd said Seville...

0:23:420:23:44

you also would have scored 100 points.

0:23:440:23:46

-Oh.

-At least that's something.

0:23:460:23:48

-But that's...

-Vienna?

-..harsh, isn't it?

-Yeah, a bit.

0:23:480:23:51

How about...? Let's take a look at some of the pointless answers.

0:23:510:23:53

There's quite a few out there.

0:23:530:23:55

Antwerp in Belgium.

0:23:560:23:58

Bologna, Italy.

0:23:580:23:59

Cork was a pointless answer.

0:23:590:24:00

Well done if you said that.

0:24:000:24:02

Lots Irish viewers, I know, would have done that.

0:24:020:24:04

Genoa - pointless answer. Istanbul.

0:24:040:24:06

Maribor, which is in Slovenia. Football fans might know.

0:24:060:24:09

There's Rotterdam, San Sebastian, Stavanger.

0:24:090:24:13

There's a few others as well. You could have had Essen,

0:24:130:24:15

Patras... Santiago de Compostela was a pointless answer.

0:24:150:24:18

Thessaloniki. Vilnius - a pointless answer as well.

0:24:180:24:21

Very well done if you got any of those.

0:24:210:24:22

Let's take a look at the top three. We've already seen the top two.

0:24:220:24:25

But in third place...

0:24:250:24:27

was...

0:24:270:24:28

Paris...with 38.

0:24:280:24:30

Then we saw the top two, which were Glasgow - 45 -

0:24:300:24:33

and Liverpool right at the top - 55.

0:24:330:24:35

There we are. Thanks very much indeed, Richard.

0:24:350:24:37

So at the end of our second round,

0:24:370:24:38

the pair we're saying goodbye to with a high score of 100 -

0:24:380:24:41

they're also our pointless scorers in the same round -

0:24:410:24:43

but, Adam and Nick, I'm afraid it is you.

0:24:430:24:45

We'll see you again next time,

0:24:450:24:46

and I'm sure you'll do much, much better then.

0:24:460:24:48

In the meantime, thanks very much for playing. Adam and Nick!

0:24:480:24:50

-BOTH:

-Thank you.

-APPLAUSE

0:24:500:24:54

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

0:24:540:24:56

Many congratulations, Chrissie and Sue, Mark and Kas.

0:25:010:25:04

You're now one step closer to the final and a chance to play

0:25:040:25:06

for that jackpot, which is currently standing at £3,250.

0:25:060:25:10

CHEERING

0:25:100:25:13

So, the big news here is that you are now allowed to confer.

0:25:130:25:16

You can chat before you give your answers.

0:25:160:25:18

First pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.

0:25:180:25:20

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

0:25:200:25:23

CHEERING

0:25:230:25:25

Here is your first question. And it concerns...

0:25:280:25:32

Training Exercises, Richard.

0:25:350:25:36

You're going to see five pictures now of particular types of exercise.

0:25:360:25:40

We're also going to give you the names of that exercise underneath,

0:25:400:25:43

the first and last letters of each word, anyway.

0:25:430:25:45

Can you tell us what they are, please? Very best of luck.

0:25:450:25:48

Very good. Let's reveal our five exercises, and here they come.

0:25:480:25:52

We have...

0:25:520:25:54

Now then, Chrissie and Sue,

0:26:200:26:21

you are our low-scorers, so you will go first.

0:26:210:26:24

-D, D.

-Are you sure?

0:26:270:26:28

I think so, yeah.

0:26:280:26:30

Go on.

0:26:300:26:32

I think we're going to go D,

0:26:320:26:34

bicycle.

0:26:340:26:36

D, bicycle, say Chrissie and Sue. D, bicycle.

0:26:360:26:39

Now, Mark and Kas, the board is all yours.

0:26:390:26:41

Do you want to talk us through them?

0:26:410:26:43

-Right, A is...

-Crunch.

0:26:430:26:46

-Don't know what B is.

-No.

0:26:460:26:49

C I would say is lunge.

0:26:490:26:52

And E is the plank.

0:26:520:26:54

Do you want to do A, crunch?

0:26:540:26:56

-Yeah, we'll go A, crunch.

-A, crunch.

0:26:560:26:58

We have bicycle and we have crunch. Chrissie and Sue went for bicycle.

0:26:580:27:02

Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 said bicycle.

0:27:020:27:05

It's right.

0:27:080:27:09

Not bad. 19 for bicycle.

0:27:160:27:17

Mark and Kas, meanwhile, have gone for crunch.

0:27:180:27:21

Let's see if that's right for A.

0:27:210:27:23

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

0:27:230:27:25

It is right.

0:27:280:27:29

58.

0:27:310:27:33

There we are. Very well done, Chrissie and Sue. You win that,

0:27:340:27:37

which means after one question you are up 1-0.

0:27:370:27:40

-Let's take a look at these other ones. Do you know B?

-No.

0:27:400:27:44

See, I was thinking scorpion.

0:27:440:27:45

-But the scorpion is something slightly different. Superman.

-No!

0:27:450:27:49

Yeah, apparently. 7 points for that.

0:27:490:27:51

I've nev... Wow.

0:27:510:27:53

C is the lunge. You are right about that.

0:27:530:27:56

Would have scored you 64 points.

0:27:560:27:59

-And E is of course the notorious plank.

-Mm.

0:27:590:28:04

46 for that.

0:28:040:28:05

There you are. OK, here comes your second question.

0:28:050:28:08

Mark and Kas, you will go first.

0:28:080:28:09

But you have to win this one to stay in the game, so best of luck.

0:28:090:28:12

Our second question today is all about...

0:28:120:28:14

All about Rocks, Richard.

0:28:160:28:17

I'm going to show you the names of five types of rock now

0:28:170:28:20

but in anagram form.

0:28:200:28:21

Can you unscramble them, please, and tell us the most obscure?

0:28:210:28:24

Brilliant. OK, let's reveal our five anagrams and here they come.

0:28:240:28:27

We've got...

0:28:280:28:30

Mark and Kas, the board's all yours.

0:28:390:28:41

-Limestone?

-Yes, yes.

0:28:430:28:44

-We'll go with that one.

-OK.

0:28:440:28:46

OK, we'll go for the third one.

0:28:460:28:48

And we'll go for...

0:28:480:28:49

limestone.

0:28:490:28:51

Limestone.

0:28:510:28:52

Limestone, say Mark and Kas.

0:28:520:28:55

Now then, Chrissie and Sue.

0:28:550:28:57

-OK, so the second one?

-Yeah.

0:29:000:29:01

The second one.

0:29:010:29:03

-Slate.

-OK, slate.

0:29:030:29:04

So we have limestone and we have slate.

0:29:040:29:07

Mark and Kas went with limestone.

0:29:070:29:09

Let's see if it's right, let's see how many people said it.

0:29:090:29:12

40.

0:29:180:29:19

40 for limestone. Chrissie and Sue have gone for slate.

0:29:230:29:25

Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said slate.

0:29:250:29:28

Slate - 62.

0:29:330:29:35

Well done, Mark and Kas, you're back in the game.

0:29:360:29:39

You won that, which means after two questions it's 1-1.

0:29:390:29:42

I got so stuck on limestone, cos I saw

0:29:420:29:44

"enite" at the end.

0:29:440:29:45

You know, like some minerals have that at the end of it.

0:29:450:29:47

So I couldn't get it out of my head. I did terribly!

0:29:470:29:50

And the top one, it's also got "stone" in it,

0:29:500:29:53

but what else has it got?

0:29:530:29:55

-Mudstone.

-Mudstone.

-Mudstone.

0:29:550:29:57

Well done if you said that at home. 14 points.

0:29:570:29:59

Tearing...

0:29:590:30:01

is granite.

0:30:010:30:02

Oh, God, I'm useless at this.

0:30:020:30:04

And that would have scored 56. And the bottom one...

0:30:040:30:07

is basalt.

0:30:070:30:09

Basalt would have scored 18.

0:30:090:30:10

-So the best answer on the board is mudstone.

-Marvellous.

0:30:100:30:13

Thank you very much indeed. So here comes your third question.

0:30:130:30:16

Whoever wins this goes through to the final

0:30:160:30:18

and plays for that jackpot. Best of luck to both pairs.

0:30:180:30:20

Our third question today is all about...

0:30:200:30:23

Opera, Richard.

0:30:230:30:24

-AUDIENCE GROANS

-Simply...

0:30:240:30:26

Good news, isn't it(?) Simply five clues now to facts about opera.

0:30:260:30:30

The team that gives us the most obscure answer

0:30:300:30:32

is going through to play for the jackpot. Very best of luck.

0:30:320:30:34

Thanks very much indeed.

0:30:340:30:36

OK, let's reveal our five clues, and here they are. We've got...

0:30:360:30:39

I'll read those one last time.

0:31:010:31:03

And Chrissie and Sue will go first.

0:31:220:31:24

I don't... I don't know.

0:31:240:31:26

Yeah.

0:31:270:31:29

Um... I'm going to take a guess

0:31:290:31:31

at the last one,

0:31:310:31:33

at libre?

0:31:330:31:35

Libre, say Chrissie and Sue. Libre.

0:31:350:31:37

Now, Mark and Kas, talk us through the board if you can.

0:31:370:31:42

OK, the Australian city would be Sydney.

0:31:420:31:45

-The operatic singer, let's say... Pavarotti.

-Pavarotti.

0:31:450:31:49

The country house and estate...

0:31:490:31:51

-I don't know that.

-I don't know that. And...we're going...

0:31:510:31:54

We'll go for the fourth one, the composer.

0:31:540:31:56

We're going to guess at...

0:31:560:31:59

Vivaldi.

0:31:590:32:01

OK, you're going to go for Vivaldi.

0:32:010:32:03

So, we have libre and Vivaldi.

0:32:030:32:05

Chrissie and Sue say libre.

0:32:050:32:07

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

0:32:070:32:10

No.

0:32:120:32:14

I'm afraid that's incorrect, which means, Mark and Kas,

0:32:140:32:16

you merely have to be correct with Vivaldi

0:32:160:32:18

and you will win the point. Is Vivaldi right, though?

0:32:180:32:21

No! Vivaldi is not right.

0:32:240:32:27

-Which means, after three questions, it's 1-1 still.

-Yeah.

0:32:270:32:30

Literally... You knew a couple of answers there.

0:32:300:32:32

You could have been straight into the jackpot round

0:32:320:32:34

if you'd gone with one of your obvious ones.

0:32:340:32:36

-Because it's not the libre...

-Libretto.

0:32:360:32:38

It comes from the same word. Libretto.

0:32:380:32:40

-Oh.

-And libretto would have scored you 12 points.

0:32:400:32:44

-And the composer - not Vivaldi.

-Mozart.

0:32:440:32:46

Mozart. And Mozart would have scored you...

0:32:460:32:49

21. You were right about Sydney.

0:32:490:32:51

Would have seen you into the jackpot round.

0:32:510:32:54

Would have scored you 60 points.

0:32:540:32:55

You were right about Pavarotti as well.

0:32:550:32:58

That also would have seen you into the jackpot round.

0:32:580:33:00

Would have scored 49.

0:33:000:33:01

-And the country house?

-Glyndebourne.

-It's Glyndebourne.

0:33:010:33:04

And Glyndebourne would have scored you 24.

0:33:040:33:06

-So libretto is the best answer on that board.

-Thanks very much indeed.

0:33:060:33:10

OK, so here comes your fourth question.

0:33:100:33:12

When I said the last one was the decider, I lied!

0:33:120:33:14

LAUGHTER

0:33:140:33:15

This one, of course, is the decider, which means,

0:33:150:33:17

Mark and Kas, you will go first this time.

0:33:170:33:19

Best of luck to both pairs. Our fourth question today concerns...

0:33:190:33:23

-Gerry Anderson TV Shows, Richard.

-I'm going to show you

0:33:250:33:27

the titles now of five Gerry Anderson TV shows.

0:33:270:33:29

We're going to give you the first and last letters or numbers

0:33:290:33:32

of the words of those shows. Can you tell us what they are, please?

0:33:320:33:35

Very best of luck.

0:33:350:33:37

OK, let's reveal our five clues to Gerry Anderson TV shows,

0:33:370:33:39

and here they are.

0:33:390:33:40

We have got...

0:33:400:33:42

I'll read those all one last time.

0:33:500:33:52

So, Mark and Kas will go first.

0:34:000:34:03

OK. I'm going to go for the last question.

0:34:030:34:07

-It'll be For Feather Fours.

-OK.

0:34:070:34:10

For Feather Fours.

0:34:100:34:12

Very good. Now, Chrissie and Sue?

0:34:120:34:15

I know the other four.

0:34:170:34:19

We're going to go for

0:34:190:34:20

the fourth one. Supercar.

0:34:200:34:21

Supercar, say Chrissie and Sue. Supercar.

0:34:210:34:25

So we have For Feather Fours.

0:34:250:34:27

And we have Supercar.

0:34:270:34:28

Mark and Kas said For Feather Fours. Let's see if that's right,

0:34:280:34:31

and if it is, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.

0:34:310:34:33

I'm afraid that is incorrect, Mark and Kas.

0:34:390:34:42

Chrissie and Sue have gone for Supercar.

0:34:420:34:45

Let's see if that's right.

0:34:450:34:47

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

0:34:470:34:49

-Phew!

-It's right.

0:34:520:34:54

11 for Supercar.

0:34:590:35:02

Which means, Chrissie and Sue, after four questions,

0:35:030:35:06

you are through to the final. 2-1.

0:35:060:35:08

Well played, both teams. They knew their Gerry Anderson.

0:35:080:35:11

I have to say, it's not For Feather Fours.

0:35:110:35:12

It's Four Feather FALLS, I'm afraid. It would have scored...

0:35:120:35:16

It would have scored 12 points.

0:35:160:35:18

-Oh!

-It would have been very, very exciting.

0:35:180:35:20

I have to say you still would have lost,

0:35:200:35:23

but it would have been very exciting.

0:35:230:35:25

And I'm sure everyone knows the top three.

0:35:250:35:27

Stingray at the top there.

0:35:270:35:29

29.

0:35:300:35:31

Thunderbirds...

0:35:310:35:32

49.

0:35:340:35:35

And Space: 1999.

0:35:350:35:38

32.

0:35:380:35:39

Thank you very much indeed.

0:35:390:35:41

So, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,

0:35:410:35:43

I'm afraid, Mark and Kas, it's you.

0:35:430:35:45

You came this far, within touching distance, as they say,

0:35:450:35:48

of the final round, but we will see you again next time.

0:35:480:35:50

We look forward to that very much.

0:35:500:35:52

Let's hope you do just as well, if not better, then.

0:35:520:35:54

In a meantime, thanks very much indeed, Mark and Kas.

0:35:540:35:57

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:35:570:35:59

Right, for Chrissie and Sue, it's now time for our Pointless final.

0:35:590:36:02

Well, congratulations, Chrissie and Sue.

0:36:060:36:09

You fought off all the competition

0:36:090:36:10

-and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.

-Yes.

0:36:100:36:13

You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot,

0:36:180:36:21

and at the end of today's show the jackpot is standing at £3,250.

0:36:210:36:25

CHEERING

0:36:250:36:27

Well, you've done so well.

0:36:270:36:29

Your first and only appearance on Pointless

0:36:290:36:32

and here you are in the final. We've put you through the ringer.

0:36:320:36:34

Let's just think of the journey we've been on.

0:36:340:36:36

We started off with the Nato Phonetic Alphabet,

0:36:360:36:38

then we had European Capitals and Cities of Culture,

0:36:380:36:40

then we had Training Exercises, Rocks,

0:36:400:36:43

Opera and Gerry Anderson TV Shows.

0:36:430:36:46

And Supercar brought you swiftly here, which is fantastic.

0:36:460:36:51

As always, you get to choose from the four options

0:36:510:36:53

we put up on the board.

0:36:530:36:54

Today's choices are these, and we've got...

0:36:540:36:58

-Do you want to go for film?

-Yeah.

-The Number 12 In Film.

0:37:080:37:11

The Number 12 In Film. OK. Very best of luck.

0:37:110:37:14

OK, very best of luck.

0:37:140:37:16

We're looking for anybody who was in the cast of any

0:37:160:37:18

of the following three films, according to IMDb, please.

0:37:180:37:21

So anyone credited in any of the following three films.

0:37:210:37:24

We're looking for anyone in the...

0:37:240:37:26

Very, very best of luck.

0:37:340:37:36

OK, now, as always, you've got up to one minute to come up with

0:37:360:37:38

three answers, and all you need to win that jackpot of £3,250,

0:37:380:37:41

don't forget, is for just one of those answers to be pointless.

0:37:410:37:46

-Are you ready?

-Yes, thank you.

0:37:460:37:47

OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.

0:37:470:37:49

There they are. Your time starts now.

0:37:490:37:51

OK, I don't know anyone in 12 Angry Men.

0:37:510:37:53

-But 12 Years A Slave - Benedict Cumberbatch, Brad Pitt.

-OK.

0:37:530:37:57

-Um, I don't know...

-I don't know how to pronounce that guy's name.

0:37:570:37:59

-Chechen... The guy that won the Oscar.

-I don't know.

0:37:590:38:02

12 Monkeys was Bruce Willis.

0:38:020:38:04

Um, I think Gary Oldman might have been in it.

0:38:040:38:07

OK, I've not seen any of them, so I don't actually know.

0:38:070:38:09

So are you happy with...

0:38:090:38:12

-Benedict Cumberbatch, Brad Pitt and Gary Oldman?

-OK.

-Just as a...?

-Yeah.

0:38:120:38:16

-OK. OK. Because...

-I don't know...

-I can't think of anybody else.

0:38:160:38:20

I've not seen any of them, so I don't actually know who was in them.

0:38:200:38:23

12 Monkeys... It was definitely Bruce Willis.

0:38:230:38:25

I'm sure it's Gary Oldman.

0:38:250:38:27

Do you want me to do Bruce Willis instead?

0:38:270:38:29

No, cos I think he'll be not pointless, really.

0:38:290:38:31

Not pointless. OK.

0:38:310:38:33

But he might be right, as opposed to Gary Oldman, who is not right.

0:38:330:38:36

-Hm. I don't...

-OK, we'll stick with Gary Oldman, then.

0:38:360:38:38

Yeah, Gary Oldman, Benedict Cumberbatch and Brad Pitt.

0:38:380:38:41

-Ten seconds left.

-OK.

-OK, are you happy?

0:38:410:38:43

-I think so, yeah.

-All right, we'll stop the clock.

0:38:430:38:45

If you give me your three answers

0:38:450:38:46

and say which films you're talking about.

0:38:460:38:48

-12 Monkeys... We're going with Gary Oldman.

-Gary Oldman.

0:38:480:38:51

12 Years A Slave - Benedict Cumberbatch and Brad Pitt.

0:38:510:38:54

OK, Benedict Cumberbatch and Brad Pitt from 12 Years A Slave.

0:38:540:38:57

Of those three, which do you think

0:38:570:38:59

is your best shot at a pointless answer?

0:38:590:39:01

Um, probably Gary Oldman.

0:39:010:39:02

Least likely to be pointless?

0:39:020:39:04

-Benedict Cumberbatch.

-Benedict Cumberbatch for 12 Years A Slave.

0:39:040:39:07

-And Brad Pitt.

-Brad Pitt sandwich. Yes.

0:39:070:39:09

LAUGHTER There we are.

0:39:090:39:10

Let's put those answers up in the board in that order,

0:39:100:39:12

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

0:39:120:39:14

Very, very best of luck.

0:39:180:39:19

If one of these answers, let's say Gary Oldman,

0:39:190:39:21

turns out to be a pointless answer and you win the jackpot, £3,250,

0:39:210:39:26

that is turning into quite a nice sum of money there,

0:39:260:39:28

what would you do with that? Chrissie, you first.

0:39:280:39:31

I'd probably buy a new cat.

0:39:310:39:34

What's wrong with the old one?

0:39:340:39:36

LAUGHTER

0:39:360:39:38

-I just love cats.

-Oh, very good. Sue?

0:39:380:39:41

Take That are doing a residency in Las Vegas next year. So...

0:39:410:39:45

-It's a shoo-in.

-It's a given, really.

-Surely!

0:39:450:39:47

OK, well, let's find out.

0:39:470:39:49

Your first answer was Benedict Cumberbatch.

0:39:490:39:51

In this case we were looking for cast members from 12 Years A Slave.

0:39:510:39:54

If this is pointless, it will win you £3,250.

0:39:540:39:56

How many people said Benedict Cumberbatch?

0:39:560:39:59

It's right. Benedict Cumberbatch.

0:40:010:40:04

If this goes all the way down to zero, you leave here with £3,250.

0:40:040:40:08

Down it goes through the 20s, through the teens.

0:40:080:40:12

Into... Not quite into single figures. 10.

0:40:120:40:14

Not bad at all. Good score.

0:40:140:40:18

Sadly, not a pointless answer,

0:40:180:40:20

but you've got two more chances to find a pointless answer.

0:40:200:40:22

Your next answer, also from 12 Years A Slave was Brad Pitt.

0:40:220:40:26

Again, if this is pointless, it will win you £3,250.

0:40:260:40:29

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

0:40:290:40:32

Well, Benedict Cumberbatch took us all the way down to 10.

0:40:350:40:37

Brad Pitt now takes us through the 50s and the 40s.

0:40:370:40:41

Through the 30s...

0:40:410:40:42

Into the teens...

0:40:420:40:44

Passes 10. 9!

0:40:440:40:46

Next one will be 8!

0:40:460:40:48

It's going the right way.

0:40:480:40:51

We're down to 9. We're into single figures. This is good.

0:40:510:40:53

Sadly, not a pointless answer, though,

0:40:530:40:55

which means everything is now riding on your third and final answer -

0:40:550:40:58

Gary Oldman.

0:40:580:40:59

And this is either a brilliant answer or an incorrect answer.

0:40:590:41:02

You weren't entirely sure.

0:41:020:41:03

If Gary Oldman is pointless, it wins you £3,250.

0:41:030:41:06

How many of our 100 people said Gary Oldman? Is it pointless?

0:41:060:41:10

Oh, no!

0:41:130:41:15

Oh, bad luck!

0:41:150:41:17

Well, it was a good punt to take.

0:41:190:41:21

It was a good punt to take but I'm afraid you didn't manage

0:41:210:41:24

to find that all-important pointless answer,

0:41:240:41:26

so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £3,250.

0:41:260:41:28

That will roll over on to the next show, but what a performance!

0:41:280:41:32

You've done so well. And you get to take home a Pointless trophy.

0:41:320:41:35

-Yes!

-So very, very well done for that.

0:41:350:41:37

Ladies and gentlemen, Chrissie and Sue!

0:41:370:41:39

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:41:390:41:41

Well played, Chrissie and Sue.

0:41:450:41:46

Let's take a look at the pointless answers in the different categories.

0:41:460:41:49

We'll start with 12 Monkeys.

0:41:490:41:51

There's actually only four actors

0:41:510:41:53

who scored any points at all in this.

0:41:530:41:54

Simon Jones,

0:41:570:41:58

who played Arthur Dent in Hitchhiker's Guide.

0:41:580:42:00

The only actors who scored points there were Bruce Willis,

0:42:000:42:03

Brad Pitt, Christopher Plummer and Madeleine Stowe.

0:42:030:42:06

Cast of 12 Angry Men - six of those angry men were pointless.

0:42:060:42:09

And they were... Some great actors here...

0:42:090:42:12

Also could have had John Fiedler

0:42:150:42:17

and Joseph Sweeney.

0:42:170:42:18

And the cast of 12 Years A Slave...

0:42:180:42:21

Some big actors here as well.

0:42:210:42:23

Michael Kenneth Williams -

0:42:230:42:24

more famous from The Wire.

0:42:240:42:25

Paul Giamatti - wonderful actor.

0:42:250:42:27

Quvenzhane Wallis,

0:42:270:42:28

who was the youngest ever nominee for a Best Actress Oscar.

0:42:280:42:31

Sarah Paulson.

0:42:310:42:32

Everyone in that film was a pointless answer,

0:42:320:42:33

other than Cumberbatch, Pitt, Michael Fassbender, Lupita Nyong'o,

0:42:330:42:37

Chiwetel Ejiofor and Paul Dano.

0:42:370:42:39

Everybody else was a pointless answer,

0:42:390:42:41

-so very well done if you said any other answers.

-Thanks, Richard.

0:42:410:42:44

Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to you, Chrissie and Sue,

0:42:440:42:46

but it's been fabulous having you here. Thank you for playing.

0:42:460:42:49

Chrissie and Sue! Great contestants!

0:42:490:42:51

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:42:510:42:52

Well, sadly, Chrissie and Sue didn't win the jackpot today,

0:42:540:42:57

which means it rolls on to the next show

0:42:570:42:59

when we will be playing for £4,250.

0:42:590:43:01

CHEERING

0:43:010:43:04

Join us and then to see someone can win it.

0:43:040:43:06

-Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...

-Goodbye.

0:43:060:43:08

And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.

0:43:080:43:10

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
