CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:00:150:00:18

Thank you very much indeed.

0:00:200:00:22

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

0:00:220:00:24

The show where the aim of the game is to score as few points as you can,

0:00:240:00:28

and you do that by coming up with the answers no-one else can think of.

0:00:280:00:30

Let's meet today's players.

0:00:300:00:32

And couple number one.

0:00:360:00:38

Hi, I'm Rak. This is Carly, we're husband and wife from Bristol.

0:00:380:00:40

Couple number two.

0:00:400:00:42

I'm Ben. This is Mark, my father, and we're from Hartford in Cheshire.

0:00:420:00:46

Couple number three.

0:00:460:00:47

I'm Jason. This is Vicky, my fiancee.

0:00:470:00:49

We're from Southampton.

0:00:490:00:50

And finally, couple number four.

0:00:500:00:52

Hi, I'm Tasha. This is my sister Jo and we are from Woking.

0:00:520:00:55

And these are today's contestants.

0:00:550:00:57

APPLAUSE

0:00:570:00:59

Thanks very much, all of you.

0:00:590:01:00

A very warm welcome to each and every one of you.

0:01:000:01:03

We'll get to chat to each of you throughout the show as it goes along,

0:01:030:01:06

so that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.

0:01:060:01:09

He's the bard of the hard.

0:01:090:01:10

The Pavarotti of the knotty.

0:01:100:01:12

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

0:01:120:01:14

-Hiya.

-APPLAUSE

0:01:140:01:16

Hiya.

0:01:160:01:18

-Good afternoon to you.

-Good afternoon.

0:01:190:01:21

-How are you?

-I'm very well.

0:01:210:01:23

You look well, as well.

0:01:230:01:25

Now, we do keep giving away the jackpot, don't we?

0:01:250:01:27

-I know.

-And also, recently, we've given it away on rugby questions.

0:01:270:01:30

Twice, I think, in the last few shows.

0:01:300:01:33

And the boys last time, Mike and Dom, three answers,

0:01:330:01:35

one point, one point, pointless answer.

0:01:350:01:38

-That's what we like, isn't it?

-Oh, we do.

-That's eking out the tension of the show for us.

0:01:380:01:41

It's perfect. Especially as they walked away with the money.

0:01:410:01:44

Only one pair coming back from that show, Carly and Rak.

0:01:440:01:46

Welcome back. Got through to Round Two last time.

0:01:460:01:48

Fingers crossed to see a little bit more of you this time.

0:01:480:01:51

Thanks very much indeed, Richard.

0:01:510:01:53

Now, Mike and Dom, as you'll have gathered, won the jackpot last time.

0:01:530:01:55

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

0:01:550:01:59

There it is. Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.

0:01:590:02:02

APPLAUSE

0:02:020:02:04

Now, just remember this. The pair with the highest score at the end of

0:02:070:02:10

each round will be eliminated, so keep those scores low.

0:02:100:02:14

Best of luck to all four pairs.

0:02:140:02:16

Our first category this afternoon...

0:02:160:02:17

..is Words.

0:02:190:02:20

A Words round. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,

0:02:200:02:23

who's going to go second?

0:02:230:02:25

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

0:02:250:02:27

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

0:02:310:02:33

We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many words ending

0:02:330:02:39

in E-L-L as they could.

0:02:390:02:43

Words ending in E-L-L. Richard.

0:02:430:02:45

We are looking for any word in the British and world English

0:02:450:02:49

section of oxforddictionaries.com, please, as of January 2016,

0:02:490:02:53

that has its own entry and ends E-L-L, please.

0:02:530:02:56

So any word in that dictionary that ends E-L-L.

0:02:560:02:59

As always, no proper nouns, no hyphenated words.

0:02:590:03:01

Very best of luck.

0:03:010:03:03

OK. Thank you very much.

0:03:030:03:05

Yes, words ending E-L-L.

0:03:050:03:10

Oh, Rak.

0:03:100:03:11

-It's a toughie, this one, isn't it?

-It is, it is.

-Anyway, Rak,

0:03:110:03:15

remind us what you do down in Bristol.

0:03:150:03:17

OK, I'm a project manager for an IT firm, a procurement organisation.

0:03:170:03:21

But in my spare time I like to do a bit of DIY, as well.

0:03:210:03:23

So, Carly has a habit of picking out old houses, we move into them,

0:03:230:03:27

-they'd need lots of work.

-Oh, you do them up?

0:03:270:03:29

-And sell them on?

-Once we're ready,

0:03:290:03:31

-Carly decides it's time to move again.

-So just when it's ready

0:03:310:03:34

and you think, "Oh, I quite like this house," you put it on...

0:03:340:03:37

Oh, oh.

0:03:370:03:38

-And it starts again.

-Oh.

0:03:380:03:40

But you haven't put your foot down yet, you quite enjoy it?

0:03:400:03:43

Quite enjoy it, but the next one we do is probably going to be the last.

0:03:430:03:46

Oh, that would be nice, wouldn't it? So is this every weekend, is it every evening?

0:03:460:03:49

Pretty much, yeah, pretty much.

0:03:490:03:51

Are there any areas of DIY you've yet to master?

0:03:510:03:55

-I should ask Carly that.

-Yeah, she's probably a better judge of that.

0:03:550:03:58

I think I'm OK.

0:03:580:04:01

Not bad. So, Rak, words ending E-L-L.

0:04:010:04:04

Sorry, you haven't had very long to think about this.

0:04:040:04:06

OK, all right, I'm going to go with...

0:04:060:04:08

There's a few I can think of, but some have an E at the end.

0:04:080:04:10

So I'm going to try upsell.

0:04:100:04:13

I like that. Which is essentially your job, really, isn't it?

0:04:130:04:16

-Yes.

-Upsell.

0:04:160:04:18

Let's see how many of our 100 people went for upsell.

0:04:180:04:20

It's right.

0:04:230:04:25

Look at that. Down to one, Rak.

0:04:300:04:32

APPLAUSE

0:04:320:04:33

Down to one for upsell.

0:04:330:04:36

Very well played. What a great start to the show, Rak, terrific answer.

0:04:360:04:40

Upselling is a thing that really sort of annoys everybody,

0:04:400:04:43

that when you buy something they attempt to get you to buy 15 other things at the same time.

0:04:430:04:47

Like guarantees or, you know, additional items.

0:04:470:04:50

-Oh, I see.

-So they sold you something and then try to upsell you about 15 other things.

0:04:500:04:54

Oh, thank you.

0:04:540:04:56

It's like if you're at the theatre and they try and sell you

0:04:560:04:58

programmes and then they try and sell you all sorts of things.

0:04:580:05:01

Is that upselling or...? That's just having a programme, isn't it?

0:05:010:05:04

That's just, well... ALEXANDER CHUCKLES

0:05:040:05:06

Thank you, Richard.

0:05:060:05:07

Mark, welcome to Pointless, good to have you here.

0:05:070:05:10

-Thank you very much.

-What do you do, Mark?

0:05:100:05:12

I work on match day hospitality for

0:05:120:05:14

the largest Premiership football team in Manchester.

0:05:140:05:17

Well...

0:05:170:05:20

Well, that's a... There's a contentious claim.

0:05:200:05:22

LAUGHTER

0:05:220:05:24

-That sounds fun, doesn't it?

-It's great fun. Great fun. Love it.

0:05:240:05:27

And do you get to see all the games, or...?

0:05:270:05:29

-No, because...

-Well, you're busy.

0:05:290:05:30

You're in charge of hospitality.

0:05:300:05:31

Yeah, you've got seven hours of customers, they're all through the game and everything, so...

0:05:310:05:35

So what sort of numbers, what kind of volume are you talking about?

0:05:350:05:38

In our restaurant we've got 147 covers.

0:05:380:05:41

Are they well behaved generally, or do spirits get quite rowdy?

0:05:410:05:44

I've got to say yes, don't I?

0:05:440:05:46

ALEXANDER LAUGHS We all know what that means, Mark.

0:05:460:05:48

Very good. Now, Mark, words ending E-L-L.

0:05:480:05:52

Dispel.

0:05:520:05:54

Dispel, says Mark.

0:05:540:05:55

Let's see how many of our 100 people said that, but, crucially,

0:05:550:05:58

let's see if it's right.

0:05:580:05:59

-Oh, dear.

-Oh, no, Mark.

0:06:020:06:04

That may very well not be the last 100 points scored.

0:06:040:06:08

I'm afraid that is 100 points to you.

0:06:080:06:10

-Yes, sorry, just the one L at the end of dispel, I'm afraid.

-Is it?

0:06:100:06:13

-Yes, sorry.

-Thanks very much.

0:06:130:06:15

Jason, a warm welcome to Pointless.

0:06:150:06:17

Here from Southampton. What do you do, Jason?

0:06:170:06:19

I'm a health care assistant at the local general hospital.

0:06:190:06:22

And what are your interests?

0:06:220:06:24

Fishing, movies, football.

0:06:240:06:27

Very good indeed. Do you do fishing offshore, or...?

0:06:270:06:29

-No, coarse fishing for carp.

-Coarse fishing. I see.

0:06:290:06:32

Right you are. Now, Jason, words ending E-L-L.

0:06:320:06:37

Um, I'm going to go for swell.

0:06:380:06:40

Swell says Jason.

0:06:400:06:42

OK, let's see if that's right.

0:06:420:06:44

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

0:06:440:06:46

It is right. Well, 100 is our high score.

0:06:490:06:51

One is our low, so we cover all bases pretty much there.

0:06:510:06:53

Swell takes us down to the lower half of that.

0:06:530:06:56

23. Not bad at all.

0:06:560:06:58

Yes, to become larger in size, to swell.

0:06:590:07:03

Typically due to liquid of some sort.

0:07:030:07:05

-Thank you very much.

-It's such a pleasure.

0:07:050:07:07

Yeah.

0:07:070:07:09

-Now, Jo.

-Hi.

0:07:090:07:10

Jo, welcome to Pointless. Good to have you here.

0:07:100:07:12

What do you do, Jo?

0:07:120:07:14

I'm a student nurse from London.

0:07:140:07:16

Right. Whereabouts in London, what hospital are you?

0:07:160:07:18

So, I'm at King's College, London.

0:07:180:07:21

And will you be based there for the full term of your studentship, or can you move around?

0:07:210:07:25

So, yeah, King's is the university and then you can be placed

0:07:250:07:29

-in various different hospitals.

-I see, right you are.

0:07:290:07:31

And what are your interests, Jo?

0:07:310:07:34

So, I play for my university netball team.

0:07:340:07:36

I get quite involved in that socially, as well.

0:07:360:07:39

We have a black lab at home, as well, that I adore, so...

0:07:400:07:43

OK. A black lab.

0:07:430:07:44

-Sounds like somewhere where terrible things happen.

-Yeah.

0:07:440:07:47

-But, um, actually...

-Don't open that door.

0:07:470:07:49

Don't go in the black lab!

0:07:490:07:51

Yeah. Jo...what would you like to go for?

0:07:510:07:54

I'm going to go for bluebell.

0:07:540:07:57

Oh, very nice.

0:07:570:07:59

Bluebell. OK.

0:07:590:08:01

That got a little murmur of appreciation.

0:08:010:08:03

Our first murmur of the afternoon, Jo, so congratulations for that.

0:08:030:08:06

Let's see how far down the column we get with bluebell.

0:08:060:08:08

Well, 23 and one are the only scores left.

0:08:140:08:17

You've passed 23.

0:08:170:08:18

Oh, there we are. Four for bluebell. Very well done indeed.

0:08:180:08:21

Good work, Jo, yes, a plant.

0:08:240:08:26

A very photogenic plant, isn't it?

0:08:260:08:29

Absolutely. Yes.

0:08:290:08:30

Bluebell woods, beautiful they are.

0:08:300:08:32

-Very nice.

-Blue in colour, which is...

0:08:320:08:35

That's where the blue comes from. It comes from the colour.

0:08:350:08:37

They're sort of bell shaped, as well.

0:08:370:08:39

Yeah, exactly, that's where the name comes from.

0:08:390:08:41

I think that's a lazy name for a bluebell.

0:08:410:08:43

-A little bit, isn't it?

-Yeah, a little bit.

0:08:430:08:45

I would call it, um, Steve, the flower.

0:08:450:08:47

ALEXANDER CHUCKLES

0:08:470:08:48

-Another Steve, the flower?

-Yeah.

0:08:480:08:50

-Oh, look, and another one.

-And another one.

0:08:500:08:52

There will be a whole field of Steve, the flowers.

0:08:520:08:54

-Oh...

-Amazing.

0:08:540:08:56

A little Steve, the flower for you.

0:08:560:08:58

-A little posy of Steve, the flowers.

-Thank you very much.

0:08:580:09:00

-I should like that very much. Pop that in there.

-Mmm.

0:09:000:09:03

-Steve, the flower.

-Let me just have a smell of your Steve there.

0:09:030:09:06

How lovely.

0:09:060:09:08

Well, we're halfway through the round.

0:09:080:09:10

Let's take a look at those scores and see where we are.

0:09:100:09:12

Rak and Carly, very well done indeed.

0:09:120:09:15

One, the lowest score of the pass.

0:09:150:09:17

Then up to four, where we find Jo and Tasha,

0:09:170:09:19

and then 23 is where we find Jason and Vicky

0:09:190:09:22

and then up to 100, Mark and Ben.

0:09:220:09:24

Bad luck there, Mark.

0:09:240:09:26

You took one for the team there because I'm sure other people will have had answers that only had one L

0:09:260:09:31

at the end and they all had to reconsider. There we are.

0:09:310:09:33

-Ben, you know what you have to do in the next pass.

-Absolutely.

-Best of luck with that.

0:09:330:09:36

We're going to come back down the line now. Can the second players please step up to the podium?

0:09:360:09:40

OK. So, Tasha, remember,

0:09:430:09:45

we are looking for words that end with the letters E-L-L.

0:09:450:09:49

Tasha, what do you do?

0:09:490:09:50

I'm a teaching assistant in Year 2.

0:09:500:09:52

In Year 2. Oh, that's nice. How long have you been doing that?

0:09:520:09:56

Since September. It's actually my year out.

0:09:560:09:58

I've done an undergraduate degree and then I'm going back

0:09:580:10:00

to university in September to do my teacher training.

0:10:000:10:03

-So that's for your PGCE, is it?

-Yes, exactly, yes.

0:10:030:10:05

And do you know what you'll teach, or will it be more general?

0:10:050:10:09

Will it be a specific lesson, or...?

0:10:090:10:10

-No, it'll be primary.

-Primary.

0:10:100:10:12

And my preference would probably be Key Stage 1,

0:10:120:10:14

so ages four to seven. Yeah.

0:10:140:10:16

Very good. OK, now, Tasha, there you are on four.

0:10:160:10:20

The high-scorers, Ben and Mark on 100,

0:10:200:10:22

so 95 or less gets you into the next round.

0:10:220:10:25

OK, I'm going to go with the word cell but spelt with a C.

0:10:250:10:29

Cell spelt with a C.

0:10:290:10:31

Here's your red line.

0:10:310:10:32

If you can get below that you are through to the next round.

0:10:320:10:35

How many people said cell?

0:10:350:10:36

37. APPLAUSE

0:10:440:10:46

37 takes your total up to 41.

0:10:470:10:49

Yeah, can be the smallest functional unit of an organism,

0:10:490:10:51

or it can be a small room in which someone is kept prisoner.

0:10:510:10:54

Often called a black lab.

0:10:540:10:56

Thank you very much, Richard.

0:10:590:11:00

Vicky, a warm welcome to Pointless.

0:11:000:11:02

Great to have you here. What do you do, Vicky?

0:11:020:11:04

I am a corporate affairs and policy manager at the same hospital

0:11:040:11:07

-that Jason works at.

-So did you meet at the hospital?

0:11:070:11:09

We didn't meet at the hospital, no.

0:11:090:11:11

We just ended up working in the same place.

0:11:110:11:13

Oh, that's nice. Do you work the same shifts?

0:11:130:11:16

No. I get to do nice 9-5, 8-4,

0:11:160:11:19

and he has to do shifts, so...

0:11:190:11:21

Oh!

0:11:210:11:22

Sometimes, presumably, you overlap?

0:11:220:11:23

-Yes, sometimes.

-That's good.

0:11:230:11:25

And what are your interests, Vicky?

0:11:250:11:27

I like to watch movies a lot.

0:11:270:11:29

I have a bit of an obsession with New York,

0:11:290:11:32

so always looking into going there, I've just never been able to go.

0:11:320:11:36

OK, well you have to win the jackpot and that will take you over

0:11:360:11:39

to New York. Now, Vicky, there you are on 23.

0:11:390:11:43

76 or less gets you into the next round.

0:11:430:11:46

I'm going to say dwell.

0:11:460:11:48

Dwell says Vicky.

0:11:480:11:50

Dwell. Here is your red line.

0:11:500:11:51

If you can get below that, you are through to Round Two.

0:11:510:11:54

How many of our 100 people said dwell?

0:11:540:11:56

It's right.

0:11:590:12:00

Very well done indeed.

0:12:000:12:02

18.

0:12:040:12:06

18, taking your total up to 41.

0:12:080:12:11

Yeah, to live somewhere specific, or to ponder upon something.

0:12:110:12:15

-To dwell.

-Thanks very much, indeed.

0:12:150:12:18

Now, Ben. Ben.

0:12:180:12:20

-Hello.

-Welcome. Good to have you here.

0:12:200:12:23

What do you do, Ben?

0:12:230:12:24

I'm a second-year archaeology student,

0:12:240:12:27

but I'm currently taking a gap year.

0:12:270:12:29

Is that the idea, that you then go off and dig in your gap year?

0:12:290:12:32

-Yes, that's right.

-Have you been on digs so far?

0:12:320:12:35

Not yet, but I've got some booked for the next couple of weeks

0:12:350:12:39

and I've got one coming up in the next few months.

0:12:390:12:42

That's exciting. In the UK, or further afield?

0:12:420:12:46

Within the UK, but I'm looking at trying to get a few abroad, as well.

0:12:460:12:49

Very good. OK. Now, Ben, you are our high-scorers at the moment.

0:12:490:12:53

I'm sorry to say.

0:12:530:12:55

Yes, in fact the only feasible way you could stay in

0:12:550:12:57

would be to find a pointless answer.

0:12:570:13:00

And obviously then Carly would have to score 100.

0:13:000:13:02

Sorry, just had to supply that fact.

0:13:020:13:04

I'm going to have a punt at retell.

0:13:040:13:08

I like what you've done there, sir.

0:13:090:13:11

Retell. No redline for you there, Ben, as you're the high-scorers.

0:13:110:13:14

But let's see how many of our 100 people went for retell.

0:13:140:13:17

It's right.

0:13:190:13:20

Three.

0:13:260:13:28

Three, Ben.

0:13:280:13:29

APPLAUSE

0:13:290:13:30

Good effort there. 103 is your total.

0:13:300:13:33

Yeah, well played. Yes, to recount a story.

0:13:330:13:36

It's funny, this round, isn't it, because we all know retell's a real

0:13:360:13:38

word. We know it is. You use it in language.

0:13:380:13:40

But when the lights are on,

0:13:400:13:42

suddenly nothing sounds like a real word, does it?

0:13:420:13:44

No. Oh, the phantom hyphens start hovering around, don't they?

0:13:440:13:47

Yes, exactly.

0:13:470:13:49

-Oh, I hate phantom hyphens.

-I hate phantom hyphens.

0:13:490:13:52

Although I liked their last album.

0:13:520:13:53

A little bit progressive for me, to be honest, but there we are.

0:13:530:13:58

Thanks, Richard. Carly, welcome back.

0:13:580:14:00

Remind us what you do, Carly.

0:14:000:14:02

I'm a clinical trials pharmacist.

0:14:020:14:04

But I'm on maternity leave at the moment.

0:14:040:14:06

And what do you like getting up to?

0:14:060:14:09

Well, I like to travel, but also taking the kids out, really.

0:14:090:14:13

They take a lot of my time.

0:14:130:14:15

So just taking them to parks, spend a bit of time with them.

0:14:150:14:19

Anything like that, really.

0:14:190:14:21

Do lots of things with other mummies that I know.

0:14:210:14:24

Excellent. Now, Carly, good news, you're through to the next round.

0:14:240:14:27

-Doesn't matter what you score.

-OK.

0:14:270:14:29

But look how well Rak did with his one there.

0:14:290:14:32

Do you think you can equal Rak's low score there, or even better it?

0:14:320:14:36

I was going to go a bit risky, but...

0:14:360:14:39

-Well, why not?

-Yeah.

0:14:390:14:40

-You have a safety net of knowing you're through.

-True.

-OK.

0:14:400:14:43

I'll risk. We're through, so...

0:14:430:14:46

Upswell.

0:14:460:14:48

Ah.

0:14:480:14:49

Ah, ha-ha, ha-ha.

0:14:490:14:51

Let's find out. Upswell.

0:14:510:14:53

Does that exist? And if it does, how many people said it?

0:14:530:14:56

It's right!

0:14:580:14:59

Ho, ho-ho, Carly.

0:15:000:15:02

We could be looking at a record breaker here, I think.

0:15:020:15:05

Oh, we are! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:15:050:15:08

Very well done indeed.

0:15:080:15:10

That's a pointless answer and it adds £250 to today's jackpot.

0:15:100:15:13

It takes the total up to £1,250 and it scores you nothing,

0:15:130:15:17

leaving your total at one.

0:15:170:15:18

Very well done on podium one.

0:15:180:15:20

Simply an increase or an upsurge. That's a terrific answer, well done.

0:15:200:15:23

And well done for actually going for the risk, as well, on that podium.

0:15:230:15:26

-Sometimes people don't, do they?

-No.

-Even though they're definitely through.

0:15:260:15:29

Do you have an answer? You don't look like you do.

0:15:290:15:32

Oh, the boring ones,

0:15:320:15:34

quell and mell. But...

0:15:340:15:37

SIGHS I'm sure this is a word.

0:15:370:15:39

Phytocell.

0:15:390:15:41

P-H-Y-T-O...

0:15:410:15:43

A phytocell. You know, the really punchy ones?

0:15:430:15:45

P-H-Y-T-O-C-E...

0:15:450:15:47

A little room you have a fight in?

0:15:470:15:48

-That's the one. Yeah.

-A phytocell.

0:15:480:15:50

OK. If you'd said phytocell...

0:15:500:15:52

..it would have scored you 100 points.

0:15:540:15:56

Oh, God! There we go.

0:15:560:15:59

-OK.

-Now, let's take a look at some pointless answers.

0:15:590:16:02

There's quite a few of them.

0:16:020:16:03

Bridewell, which is an old name for a prison.

0:16:050:16:07

Bridewell taxis used to be the name of the prison vans.

0:16:070:16:10

Clamshell, which is a shell

0:16:100:16:12

but also any electronic device that opens like that.

0:16:120:16:14

Cockleshell. That's a lovely word, isn't it?

0:16:140:16:17

Gromwell, which is a type of borage.

0:16:170:16:20

Kvell, which is a Yiddish word for happy and proud.

0:16:200:16:24

Misspell.

0:16:240:16:26

That's a, yeah...

0:16:260:16:27

Outyell. Protocell.

0:16:280:16:30

Oh, that's the one I meant.

0:16:300:16:32

-Oh, OK, you can have it.

-OK. Phew.

0:16:320:16:34

-I'm sure you would have let one of the contestants had that if they'd said phytocell.

-Yes.

0:16:340:16:38

Respell, also a pointless answer.

0:16:380:16:40

Some other really nice pointless answers.

0:16:400:16:42

Kettlebell, which everybody uses in the gym these days,

0:16:420:16:44

is a pointless answer. Outsell is a pointless answer, amazingly.

0:16:440:16:48

Outsmell, also is a pointless answer.

0:16:480:16:51

That's nice, isn't it? Let's take a look at the top three answers.

0:16:510:16:53

The ones that most of our 100 people said.

0:16:530:16:56

Tell, 74.

0:16:570:16:58

Hell, 81.

0:16:590:17:01

And phytocell with 85.

0:17:010:17:03

There we are. Thanks very much indeed, Richard.

0:17:030:17:06

So we are at the end of our first round and I'm sorry to say the pair

0:17:060:17:09

we have to say goodbye to, with their high score of 103,

0:17:090:17:11

Ben and Mark, it is you. I'm sorry.

0:17:110:17:14

-Dispel. Mark.

-Well.

0:17:140:17:16

You were in the right sort of area.

0:17:160:17:18

I mean, some of those...

0:17:180:17:19

I thought of clamshell and I thought it was two words.

0:17:190:17:22

That's the way it goes.

0:17:220:17:24

Well, we'll see you next time, Mark and Ben, and I'm sure you'll be much better then.

0:17:240:17:27

But meantime, thanks very much for playing. Mark and Ben.

0:17:270:17:29

-Thank you.

-APPLAUSE

0:17:290:17:32

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

0:17:320:17:35

And so look at that, suddenly we're down to three pairs.

0:17:390:17:42

At the end of this round, we'll have to say goodbye to another pair

0:17:420:17:44

in time for our head-to-head round.

0:17:440:17:46

Carly and Rak, I take my hats off to you for lots of reasons.

0:17:460:17:49

Lowest individual score, lowest joint score, but, best of all,

0:17:490:17:54

taking that kind of risk, Carly.

0:17:540:17:56

That is the sort of risk we applaud on Pointless,

0:17:560:17:59

so very well done indeed. Best of luck to all three pairs.

0:17:590:18:01

Our category for Round Two, this afternoon,

0:18:010:18:04

is Radio 4 programmes. Radio 4 programmes.

0:18:040:18:07

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

0:18:070:18:09

who's going to go second.

0:18:090:18:11

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

0:18:110:18:14

OK, and the question concerns

0:18:170:18:20

multiple appearances on Desert Island Discs.

0:18:200:18:23

Multiple appearances on Desert Island Discs, Richard.

0:18:230:18:25

Yes, much less complicated than it sounds.

0:18:250:18:27

We're simply going to give you six clues on each pass to famous people.

0:18:270:18:30

The one thing they've got in common is they've all been on Desert Island Discs more than once.

0:18:300:18:34

-There's going to be 12 in all to have a go at at home, so very best of luck.

-OK.

0:18:340:18:36

Thanks very much.

0:18:360:18:38

Let's reveal our board of multiple Desert Island Discs appearees

0:18:380:18:41

and here they are.

0:18:410:18:42

I'll read those again.

0:19:120:19:14

There we are. Carly, so...

0:19:400:19:44

-Um.

-How many of those do you think you know?

0:19:440:19:46

Not many.

0:19:460:19:47

Um, sadly, it's not really something that I listen to.

0:19:470:19:51

I'm going to go for the top one and I'm going to say Stephen Fry.

0:19:510:19:55

Stephen Fry, says Carly. Let's see if that's right.

0:19:550:19:57

Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Stephen Fry.

0:19:570:20:00

Look at that. Down to 54.

0:20:050:20:08

A surprisingly low score, I'd have thought. 54 for Stephen Fry.

0:20:080:20:11

Yeah, his favourite song was the Magic Fire Music by Wagner.

0:20:110:20:15

And his book was the Jeeves and Wooster Omnibus.

0:20:150:20:18

There we are. Now, Jason, what would you like to go for?

0:20:180:20:20

There is one I want to gamble on,

0:20:220:20:25

but I'm not so sure I should,

0:20:250:20:27

so I'm going to pop for the England manager and say Bobby Robson.

0:20:270:20:31

Bobby Robson, says Jason. Let's see if Bobby Robson's right.

0:20:310:20:34

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

0:20:340:20:36

It is right.

0:20:390:20:40

54 is what Stephen Fry scored.

0:20:400:20:42

You've passed that. Bobby Robson down into the 20s.

0:20:420:20:45

Look at that, 25. Very well done.

0:20:450:20:46

APPLAUSE

0:20:460:20:47

-Good score.

-Yeah, he picked Frank Sinatra songs on both occasions.

0:20:470:20:51

Try A Little Tenderness was his favourite the first time.

0:20:510:20:54

Thanks very much, Richard.

0:20:540:20:56

Now then, Tasha, this board's all yours.

0:20:560:20:58

Do you want to go through those blanks and fill them in for us?

0:20:580:21:02

I wish I could.

0:21:020:21:03

I knew Stephen Fry.

0:21:030:21:05

And luckily there's one left that I'm pretty confident about.

0:21:050:21:09

The actress known for playing Peggy in EastEnders, Barbara Windsor.

0:21:090:21:13

Barbara Windsor, says Tasha.

0:21:130:21:14

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

0:21:140:21:18

It's right. 54's our high score.

0:21:210:21:22

61 for Barbara Windsor.

0:21:220:21:25

1970 and 1990 she was on.

0:21:270:21:29

Fings Ain't Wot They Used To Be by Bill Cotton was her track in 1970.

0:21:290:21:33

And she wanted a Union Flag in 1990 as one of her luxuries.

0:21:330:21:37

Now. The violin virtuoso.

0:21:390:21:42

-Yehudi Menuhin.

-Yehudi Menuhin.

0:21:420:21:44

15 points for that.

0:21:440:21:46

Now, at the bottom there, the double Oscar-winning actress.

0:21:460:21:48

-Glenda Jackson.

-Glenda Jackson.

0:21:480:21:50

Her book, she wanted The History And Creation Of A Japanese Sand Garden

0:21:500:21:53

was the book she wanted.

0:21:530:21:55

You've got to have a hobby when you're out there. And the yachtsman.

0:21:550:21:58

-Is Robin Knox-Johnston.

-Robin Knox-Johnston.

0:21:580:22:00

And he was a pointless answer, so very well done if you said that.

0:22:000:22:03

Thank you, Richard. Right, we're halfway through the round.

0:22:030:22:06

Let's just take a quick look at those scores.

0:22:060:22:08

25, the best score of the pass.

0:22:080:22:09

Well done, Jason and Vicky.

0:22:090:22:11

I'd say you're looking pretty strong as contenders for the head-to-head

0:22:110:22:14

at this point. Then up to 54, Carly and Rak.

0:22:140:22:17

Then up to 61, quite close,

0:22:170:22:18

but a little bit ahead, Tasha and Jo.

0:22:180:22:20

So, yes, let's see what happens in the next pass.

0:22:200:22:23

We're going to come back down the line.

0:22:230:22:24

Can the second players please step up to the podium?

0:22:240:22:27

OK, let's put six more clues up on the board

0:22:300:22:32

and here they come.

0:22:320:22:33

I'll read those all again.

0:22:590:23:00

-Jo.

-OK.

0:23:250:23:27

You are the high-scorers at the moment.

0:23:270:23:29

I hope there's a nice low-scoring answer on that board

0:23:290:23:31

that is leaping out at you.

0:23:310:23:33

I only know one and it's probably the most obvious.

0:23:330:23:36

So I'm going to do the natural history programmes

0:23:370:23:39

-and go for David Attenborough.

-David Attenborough, says Jo.

0:23:390:23:42

No red line for you as you're the highest scorers,

0:23:420:23:44

but let's see how many of our 100 people said David Attenborough.

0:23:440:23:47

55.

0:23:520:23:54

55, taking your total up to 116.

0:23:550:23:58

He's been on four times.

0:23:580:24:00

-No?

-Four times.

0:24:000:24:02

Only two people have been on four times.

0:24:020:24:04

Him and Arthur Askey.

0:24:040:24:06

Mmm, I wonder how his music tastes have changed.

0:24:060:24:10

Well, originally, it was a lot of classical.

0:24:100:24:12

He was on in the '70s and every single song was by Van Halen.

0:24:120:24:15

LAUGHTER

0:24:150:24:17

Every single one. He said, "Well, look, this is going to sound crazy,

0:24:170:24:20

"but I'm just so into this band at the moment.

0:24:200:24:22

"This album is just amazing."

0:24:220:24:24

He followed them around on tour.

0:24:240:24:26

-He has. Yes.

-Absolutely.

0:24:260:24:28

Man, he loved them.

0:24:280:24:29

He played keyboards on their 1982 live album.

0:24:290:24:33

-Live On Earth.

-He loves Van Halen.

0:24:330:24:35

Live On Earth, yeah, that's what you call it.

0:24:350:24:38

Thanks very much. Now then, Vicky.

0:24:380:24:40

What would you like to go for?

0:24:400:24:42

The only one I knew for certain was David Attenborough,

0:24:420:24:44

but I think I might know the top one.

0:24:440:24:47

The Phantom Of The Opera is Michael Ball.

0:24:470:24:51

Michael Ball, says Vicky. Michael Ball.

0:24:510:24:53

Well, the high-scorers at the moment on 116 are Jo and Tasha.

0:24:530:24:56

There you are on 25.

0:24:560:24:58

90 or less gets you through.

0:24:580:25:00

How many of our 100 people said Michael Ball?

0:25:000:25:03

Is it right? There's your red line.

0:25:030:25:05

GROANS

0:25:080:25:09

Bad luck, Vicky, I'm afraid Michael Ball is an incorrect answer.

0:25:090:25:13

It scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 125.

0:25:130:25:15

However, the round is not over yet.

0:25:150:25:17

Sorry, Vicky, not Michael Ball, I'm afraid.

0:25:170:25:20

-Although he has been on. He's been on.

-Oh, he has.

0:25:200:25:22

I bet he would have done a rather good one.

0:25:220:25:24

-Yes.

-Don't you think?

0:25:240:25:26

-Yes.

-Because he's very entertaining and he knows about music.

0:25:260:25:30

-He is both of those.

-Not unlike your good self.

0:25:300:25:32

AUDIENCE CHUCKLES

0:25:320:25:34

I'm just... I'm just saying.

0:25:340:25:36

Who's in charge of Desert Island Discs?

0:25:360:25:38

It's Kirsty Young, isn't it?

0:25:380:25:39

-I don't know if she's in charge.

-No, yeah, but I bet

0:25:390:25:42

-if she really put her foot down...

-Yeah.

0:25:420:25:45

I bet if Kirsty Young went into the office tomorrow and said,

0:25:450:25:48

-"I want Xander to be on Desert Island Discs," they would kind of go...

-Or you, or you.

0:25:480:25:52

No, no, no. Also entertaining, also knows about music.

0:25:520:25:55

No, I think you first. I would...

0:25:550:25:57

Now, then, Rak. OK 54, this is exciting.

0:25:580:26:01

54. The high-scorers are Jason and Vicky on 125.

0:26:010:26:04

70 or less gets you through,

0:26:040:26:05

but you have to find those answers on the board

0:26:050:26:08

that you think will score you that.

0:26:080:26:10

Do you want to talk us through the board as it is,

0:26:100:26:12

how many of those you can fill in?

0:26:120:26:14

I wish I could, but the only one I knew was David Attenborough.

0:26:140:26:17

Oh, there's a lifeline for Jason and Vicky here.

0:26:170:26:20

I'm not confident at all, so I'm going to take a random guess.

0:26:200:26:23

Novelist who created the detective Adam Dalgliesh, John Grisham.

0:26:230:26:27

John Grisham says Rak.

0:26:270:26:29

OK, here is your red line, nice and high,

0:26:290:26:32

but you have to get below it.

0:26:320:26:34

John Grisham. Is that right for the creator of Adam Dalgliesh?

0:26:340:26:38

No, I'm afraid it's not.

0:26:400:26:42

That scores you 100 points and takes your total up to 154, Rak.

0:26:420:26:46

Yes, not John Grisham.

0:26:460:26:47

This is someone I don't mind having been on twice.

0:26:470:26:49

The author. The wonderful PD James, that was.

0:26:490:26:52

And it would have scored you eight points.

0:26:520:26:55

I didn't think that was this scary a board.

0:26:550:26:57

-No.

-The top one?

0:26:570:26:58

-Michael Crawford.

-Michael Crawford, not Michael Ball.

0:26:580:27:01

He's been on three times, Michael Crawford.

0:27:010:27:04

Three times more than us.

0:27:040:27:05

34 for him.

0:27:050:27:07

-The Australian comedian?

-Barry Humphries.

0:27:070:27:08

Barry Humphries. He can be on twice, as well, that's all right.

0:27:080:27:11

48 points for him.

0:27:110:27:13

The Poet Laureate, that's the hardest one there.

0:27:130:27:15

-Cecil Day Lewis.

-Cecil Day Lewis, correct.

0:27:150:27:18

-One point.

-The actor?

0:27:180:27:20

-Is Alec Guinness.

-Sir Alec Guinness. Absolutely right. 21 points.

0:27:200:27:22

I don't mind him being on twice,

0:27:220:27:24

because he was on once as George Smiley and once as Obi-Wan Kenobi,

0:27:240:27:26

so I think that's fair enough.

0:27:260:27:28

LAUGHTER

0:27:280:27:30

Obi-Wan Kenobi, what eclectic choices, I have to say.

0:27:300:27:34

-He did.

-His favourite song was that one they play in the...

0:27:340:27:36

You know the one they play in the tavern, Mos Eisley,

0:27:360:27:39

-the Cantina Band.

-Yeah.

0:27:390:27:41

Wonderful. Thanks very much, Richard.

0:27:410:27:43

So at the end of our second round, I'm afraid...

0:27:430:27:45

I'm afraid it's our returning pair, Rak and Carly,

0:27:450:27:49

we have to say goodbye to. 154 your score there.

0:27:490:27:51

Oh, Rak, I thought you were going to pull it out of the bag there.

0:27:510:27:54

-Might you have known any of those ones?

-No. I knew the first one was Michael, but again,

0:27:540:27:57

I didn't know his surname.

0:27:570:27:58

Bad luck. It's been great having you on. Thank you so much for playing. Rak and Carly.

0:27:580:28:02

APPLAUSE

0:28:020:28:04

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

0:28:040:28:08

Congratulations, Tasha and Jo, Jason and Vicky,

0:28:120:28:15

you are now one step closer to the final

0:28:150:28:18

and the chance to play for our jackpot,

0:28:180:28:20

which currently stands at £1,250.

0:28:200:28:22

Well, we are now at the head-to-head, where you can start playing as teams.

0:28:220:28:25

You can confer before you give your answers,

0:28:250:28:27

and the first pair to win two questions will be playing for that jackpot.

0:28:270:28:30

Well, a lucky escape there with Michael Ball in Round Two.

0:28:300:28:34

Very lucky. And very well done, Tasha and Jo,

0:28:340:28:37

some nice low-scoring there.

0:28:370:28:39

And you've seen off our only returning pair, so that was no mean feat.

0:28:390:28:42

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

0:28:420:28:45

Here is your first question and it concerns

0:28:510:28:54

UK Bridges.

0:28:540:28:56

UK Bridges. Richard.

0:28:560:28:58

We're going to show you five pictures of bridges from around

0:28:580:29:00

the UK. We need you to tell us the names of these bridges, please.

0:29:000:29:03

We've also included their initials.

0:29:030:29:05

Thanks very much. Let's reveal our five bridges and here they come.

0:29:050:29:08

We've got...

0:29:080:29:10

There we are. Five famous bridges from the UK.

0:29:360:29:39

Tasha and Jo, you've been our low-scorers up to this point,

0:29:390:29:41

so you will go first.

0:29:410:29:43

THEY WHISPER

0:29:430:29:46

So, we're going to go for E, Westminster Bridge.

0:29:540:29:57

OK, Westminster Bridge.

0:29:570:29:59

Westminster Bridge, say Tasha and Jo.

0:29:590:30:02

Jason, Vicky, all those bridges are yours.

0:30:020:30:05

-VICKY:

-I only know E.

-I know D.

0:30:060:30:09

-Shall we go for D?

-Yeah.

0:30:110:30:13

We're going to go for D and the Clifton Suspension Bridge.

0:30:130:30:16

Clifton Suspension Bridge, say Jason and Vicky.

0:30:160:30:18

So we have Westminster Bridge and we have Clifton Suspension Bridge.

0:30:180:30:21

Tasha and Jo went for Westminster Bridge for E.

0:30:210:30:24

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

0:30:240:30:26

It is right.

0:30:290:30:31

63.

0:30:330:30:34

APPLAUSE

0:30:340:30:36

Meanwhile, Vicky and Jason have gone for Clifton Suspension Bridge for D.

0:30:360:30:40

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

0:30:400:30:43

It's right.

0:30:460:30:47

And it wins you the question. Well done.

0:30:480:30:50

Look at that. Down it goes. 35 for Clifton Suspension Bridge.

0:30:500:30:53

Very well done indeed, Jason and Vicky.

0:30:530:30:55

That means, after one question, you are up 1-0.

0:30:550:30:58

It took 110 years to complete the Clifton Suspension Bridge.

0:30:580:31:02

Amazing, isn't it?

0:31:020:31:04

In the rush-hour, it sometimes takes 110 years to get across, as well.

0:31:040:31:06

-Now, A?

-Iron Bridge.

0:31:070:31:09

It's the world's first iron bridge and it is Iron Bridge.

0:31:090:31:12

It scored 35 points.

0:31:140:31:16

In Ironbridge, over the Ironbridge Gorge.

0:31:160:31:19

What's it called again? Sorry, I...

0:31:190:31:20

-Iron Bridge.

-Oh, right, yes, gotcha, yes.

0:31:200:31:22

B.

0:31:220:31:24

-Forth Bridge.

-The Forth Bridge.

0:31:240:31:26

It's the biggest scorer, though. 67 points for that.

0:31:260:31:29

And the best answer, it's in Derry,

0:31:290:31:31

and it's the Peace Bridge.

0:31:310:31:33

One point. Very well done if you said that.

0:31:330:31:35

Thank you very much indeed, Richard.

0:31:350:31:37

So here comes your second question.

0:31:370:31:39

Now, then, Jason and Vicky will be answering this one first,

0:31:390:31:42

but Tasha and Jo, you have to win this one to stay in the game,

0:31:420:31:44

so best of luck. Our second question is all about

0:31:440:31:48

History's Hotties.

0:31:480:31:51

LAUGHTER

0:31:510:31:52

-History's Hotties, Richard.

-Yeah, we're going to give you five clues now to historical figures who were

0:31:520:31:56

famed for their good looks. Can you tell us who they are, please?

0:31:560:31:59

OK, thanks very much indeed.

0:31:590:32:01

Here come the five clues.

0:32:010:32:03

And we have...

0:32:030:32:05

I shall read all of those one last time.

0:32:260:32:28

Jason and Vicky, you'll go first.

0:32:470:32:49

We'll go with the top one, the Queen of France, Marie Antoinette?

0:32:590:33:03

Marie Antoinette, say Jason and Vicky. Marie Antoinette.

0:33:030:33:06

Now, Tasha and Jo, do you want to talk us through that board?

0:33:060:33:09

I have a feeling, between us, that was probably the only one we knew.

0:33:090:33:14

The Egyptian queen.

0:33:140:33:15

-Take a guess.

-Cleopatra.

0:33:150:33:17

Oh. Cleopatra.

0:33:170:33:19

-Yeah, we'll go with that one.

-OK.

0:33:190:33:21

-A stab in the dark.

-Yeah.

0:33:210:33:23

So we have Marie Antoinette and we have Cleopatra.

0:33:230:33:25

Jason and Vicky said Marie Antoinette.

0:33:250:33:26

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

0:33:260:33:29

It's right.

0:33:320:33:34

45.

0:33:360:33:37

APPLAUSE

0:33:370:33:38

45 for Marie Antoinette.

0:33:380:33:41

Now, then, Tasha and Jo have gone for Cleopatra.

0:33:410:33:44

A bit of a punt this one.

0:33:440:33:46

Let's see if it's right,

0:33:460:33:47

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

0:33:470:33:50

Yes, it's Cleopatra.

0:33:520:33:54

And that scores you 83.

0:33:540:33:56

APPLAUSE

0:33:560:33:57

Very well done, Jason and Vicky. What about that?

0:33:570:33:59

After only two questions, you are straight through to the final, 2-0.

0:33:590:34:02

Yeah, the top two answers on the board they were, as well.

0:34:020:34:05

The Dutch dancer.

0:34:050:34:07

What's she called? Mata Hari?

0:34:070:34:09

Mata Hari, yes. Absolutely.

0:34:090:34:11

Would have scored 34 points.

0:34:110:34:13

-The sheik actor?

-Don't know.

0:34:130:34:15

Valentino. Rudolph Valentino.

0:34:150:34:16

Would have scored you 20.

0:34:160:34:18

And the romantic poet?

0:34:180:34:19

-Lord Byron.

-Lord Byron. And Lord Byron would have scored you 26.

0:34:190:34:22

So Rudolph Valentino the best answer on that board,

0:34:220:34:25

-well done if you said that.

-Thank you very much indeed.

0:34:250:34:27

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

0:34:270:34:30

They were our lower-scorers up to this point, Tasha and Jo,

0:34:300:34:32

-but we say goodbye to you. We'll see you again next time. Look forward to that.

-Yes.

0:34:320:34:36

Meantime, thanks very much, Tasha and Jo.

0:34:360:34:38

APPLAUSE

0:34:380:34:39

But for Jason and Vicky, it's now time for our Pointless final.

0:34:410:34:45

Congratulations, Jason and Vicky,

0:34:480:34:50

you have fought off all the competition

0:34:500:34:52

and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.

0:34:520:34:54

You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.

0:35:010:35:03

At the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £1,250.

0:35:030:35:08

Well, listen, you might work different shifts,

0:35:080:35:10

but today you have been very much working side by side, which has been brilliant.

0:35:100:35:14

I think only one misstep and that was Michael Ball

0:35:140:35:17

but, apart from that, some brilliant low-scoring answers

0:35:170:35:20

and fantastic, 2-0 in the head-to-head.

0:35:200:35:23

Anything you'd like to see come up in this last round, Vicky?

0:35:230:35:26

Movies. Most definitely.

0:35:260:35:29

I watch movies all the time.

0:35:290:35:31

Music, or maybe Friends, because I'm completely obsessed with Friends.

0:35:310:35:35

OK. Jason, anything you want to add to that?

0:35:350:35:37

A bit of sport. Movies again, really.

0:35:370:35:39

Maybe a little bit of music.

0:35:400:35:42

OK. Well, very best of luck.

0:35:420:35:43

As always, you get to choose your category from the four on the board,

0:35:430:35:46

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

0:35:460:35:49

Today's selection looks like this.

0:35:490:35:51

We have...

0:35:510:35:53

-I'd like Acting Jennifers.

-Yeah.

0:36:010:36:03

I don't know about you.

0:36:030:36:05

Definitely not Royal Families, or Crime Writers.

0:36:050:36:08

-Do want to go for...?

-Acting Jennifers, yeah.

0:36:080:36:11

OK. Acting Jennifers it is. Richard.

0:36:110:36:13

Acting Jennifers are the Jennifers that come into work

0:36:130:36:16

when the real Jennifer is off.

0:36:160:36:18

You need an acting Jennifer.

0:36:180:36:20

Very best of luck. If you know your films, I think this category might suit you.

0:36:200:36:24

We are looking for any films up to the end of February 2016

0:36:240:36:28

for which Jennifer Lopez has received an acting credit,

0:36:280:36:31

according to IMDb.

0:36:310:36:32

Or any films for which Jennifer Garner has received an acting credit.

0:36:320:36:35

Or Jennifer Lawrence.

0:36:350:36:38

So any films up to the end of February 2016, according to IMDb,

0:36:380:36:41

that stars any of these three.

0:36:410:36:43

As always, no short films, no TV films, documentaries, anything like that,

0:36:430:36:46

but voice performances do count.

0:36:460:36:48

Very, very best of luck.

0:36:480:36:50

Thanks, Richard. Now, as always, you've got up to one minute

0:36:500:36:52

to come up with three answers and all you need to win that jackpot

0:36:520:36:55

is for just one of those answers to be pointless.

0:36:550:36:57

-Are you ready?

-Yeah.

0:36:570:36:59

OK. Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.

0:36:590:37:01

There they are. Your time starts now.

0:37:010:37:03

So, Jennifer Lawrence was in...

0:37:030:37:06

The obvious ones like The Hunger Games.

0:37:060:37:09

-Yeah.

-Jennifer Garner might have been in Fantastic Four.

0:37:090:37:12

I don't know if that's her.

0:37:120:37:13

Is she in that boxing movie?

0:37:130:37:15

I don't know. What's that called?

0:37:150:37:18

Clint Eastwood directed it.

0:37:180:37:21

-Million Dollar Baby.

-Million Dollar Baby, maybe, I don't know.

0:37:210:37:24

Jennifer Lawrence was also in Silver Linings Playbook.

0:37:240:37:27

-And Cell.

-Was The Cell Jennifer Lopez?

0:37:270:37:30

I think so.

0:37:300:37:31

It was the odd film that she was in a few years ago.

0:37:310:37:35

Go for that anyway.

0:37:350:37:37

I don't know any of the Jennifer Garner films.

0:37:370:37:40

I'm trying to picture if it's the same person that I'm thinking of. I'm not sure it's the right one.

0:37:400:37:44

Go for Mockingjay.

0:37:440:37:46

-No. Part

-2. Yeah.

0:37:460:37:48

Because we've said The Cell and we've said Silver Linings Playbook.

0:37:480:37:52

Ten seconds left.

0:37:520:37:53

-That's it.

-And...

0:37:530:37:55

We can try Million Dollar Baby.

0:37:550:37:56

Is she married to the...?

0:37:560:37:58

-I think she's married to Ben Affleck.

-That's the fella. Try that.

0:37:590:38:02

-OK.

-OK, that is your time up.

0:38:020:38:04

It sounds like you've arrived at your three answers.

0:38:040:38:06

If you could give me those and say which category your answers are.

0:38:060:38:09

-OK, so, for Jennifer Lopez films, The Cell.

-The Cell.

0:38:090:38:11

For Jennifer Garner films, Million Dollar Baby.

0:38:110:38:14

-Million Dollar Baby.

-And for Jennifer Lawrence films,

0:38:140:38:16

Silver Linings Playbook.

0:38:160:38:18

Silver Linings Playbook.

0:38:180:38:19

Now, of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?

0:38:190:38:22

-Probably Silver Linings.

-Silver Linings Playbook we'll put last.

0:38:220:38:25

Least likely to be pointless?

0:38:250:38:27

-Million Dollar Baby.

-Million Dollar Baby we'll put first.

0:38:270:38:30

OK, well, let's put those answers up on the board in that order, then, and here they are.

0:38:300:38:34

We have got Million Dollar Baby,

0:38:340:38:37

The Cell

0:38:370:38:38

and Silver Linings Playbook.

0:38:380:38:40

Well, very, very best of luck. Three good answers on the board.

0:38:400:38:42

Maybe one of those will be pointless.

0:38:420:38:44

At least one of those might be pointless and win you that jackpot.

0:38:440:38:47

Now, £1,250, what would you do with that? Jason, you first?

0:38:470:38:51

Um, I think we'd go on holiday to Iceland for the Northern Lights

0:38:510:38:55

-and whale watching.

-Lovely.

0:38:550:38:58

Vicky, anything you want to add to that?

0:38:580:38:59

The same, because that's not enough to get to New York,

0:38:590:39:02

so we'll go to Iceland instead.

0:39:020:39:04

Lovely. Fingers tightly crossed that one of these will win that jackpot

0:39:040:39:08

for you. Your first answer was Million Dollar Baby.

0:39:080:39:11

In this case, we were looking for Jennifer Garner films.

0:39:110:39:13

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

0:39:130:39:15

jackpot, so let's find out, for £1,250,

0:39:150:39:18

how many people said Million Dollar Baby.

0:39:180:39:21

Is it right, is it pointless?

0:39:210:39:23

No! Bad luck.

0:39:260:39:27

Bad luck. Million Dollar Baby not a Jennifer Garner film, unfortunately.

0:39:280:39:32

Not a pointless answer,

0:39:320:39:33

which means you only have two more shots at today's jackpot.

0:39:330:39:36

Your next answer was The Cell.

0:39:360:39:38

In this case, we were looking for Jennifer Lopez movies.

0:39:380:39:42

Again, it has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot.

0:39:420:39:44

So, for £1,250, let's see how many people said The Cell.

0:39:440:39:47

It's right.

0:39:500:39:52

Now, your first answer, Million Dollar Baby,

0:39:520:39:54

turned out to be an incorrect answer,

0:39:540:39:56

but The Cell takes us down through the 20s

0:39:560:39:58

and into the teens.

0:39:580:40:00

Into single figures... Down it goes.

0:40:000:40:02

Oh! Three points.

0:40:020:40:04

APPLAUSE

0:40:040:40:06

Nearly.

0:40:060:40:08

Three people said The Cell.

0:40:100:40:11

That's a fantastic score.

0:40:110:40:13

Sadly, not a pointless answer,

0:40:130:40:15

which means everything's now riding on your third and final answer,

0:40:150:40:18

which is Silver Linings Playbook.

0:40:180:40:20

In this case, we were looking for Jennifer Lawrence movies.

0:40:200:40:23

We have to hope that nobody said this.

0:40:230:40:25

If nobody said it, it will win you £1,250.

0:40:250:40:28

Very best of luck. How many people said Silver Linings Playbook?

0:40:280:40:31

It's right.

0:40:350:40:37

Million Dollar Baby, your first answer, was incorrect.

0:40:370:40:39

The Cell took us all the way down to three.

0:40:390:40:41

Silver Linings Playbook now taking us down through the teens.

0:40:410:40:45

Down into single figures, down it goes...

0:40:450:40:47

-Oh, bad luck.

-Never mind.

0:40:470:40:48

APPLAUSE

0:40:480:40:50

Never mind.

0:40:500:40:51

Two fantastic answers there,

0:40:530:40:55

two lovely low scores that you'd be very pleased with in any other round

0:40:550:40:58

of Pointless. Sadly, though, you didn't find the pointless answer

0:40:580:41:01

we needed to give you that jackpot,

0:41:010:41:03

so I'm afraid that £1,250 will roll over onto the next show,

0:41:030:41:06

but what a strong performance right the way through the show.

0:41:060:41:09

You'll be really proud of what you've managed to do in the show.

0:41:090:41:12

I mean, great, low-scoring answers.

0:41:120:41:14

2-0 in the head-to-head, which is no mean feat.

0:41:140:41:16

And you get a Pointless trophy each, so very well done indeed.

0:41:160:41:19

Jason and Vicky. APPLAUSE

0:41:190:41:22

Yeah, well played. Not a bad final category for you there,

0:41:260:41:28

and there will be answers on this board that...

0:41:280:41:30

There'll be the odd one or two, I'm sure of that.

0:41:300:41:33

We'll start with Jennifer Lopez films.

0:41:330:41:35

Jersey Girl. She's in with Ben Affleck.

0:41:370:41:39

Parker with Jason Statham.

0:41:390:41:41

Shall We Dance, Richard Gere.

0:41:410:41:42

What To Expect When You're Expecting is a pointless answer.

0:41:420:41:45

A few others. An Unfinished Life,

0:41:450:41:47

a couple of voice performances she was in, as well.

0:41:470:41:49

Antz, Ice Age Continental Drift. They were both pointless answers.

0:41:490:41:51

Blood And Wine, Bordertown.

0:41:510:41:53

Home. Jack. My Family.

0:41:530:41:55

My Little Girl and The Back-up Plan. All of those are pointless answers.

0:41:550:41:57

Well done if you said one of those.

0:41:570:41:59

Jennifer Garner now.

0:41:590:42:01

She's in the 2011 remake of Arthur.

0:42:010:42:04

She's in Dallas Buyers Club, as well.

0:42:040:42:06

Would have been a really good answer.

0:42:060:42:08

Deconstructing Harry. Ghosts Of Girlfriends Past.

0:42:080:42:11

Her big scorers there, Daredevil, 13 Going On 30, and Elektra.

0:42:110:42:14

Even Dude, Where's My Car? got one point.

0:42:140:42:17

I'd have been furious if I'd come up with Dude, Where's My Car?

0:42:170:42:20

for Jennifer Garner and not won a jackpot.

0:42:200:42:22

I would have smashed the studio up.

0:42:220:42:24

-I would not have been happy.

-No.

0:42:250:42:27

Jennifer Lawrence now.

0:42:270:42:29

Garden Party, House At The End Of The Street is a pointless answer.

0:42:310:42:34

The Devil You Know, X-Men: First Class was a pointless answer.

0:42:340:42:37

As was X-Men: Days Of Future Past.

0:42:370:42:40

The Burning Plain, The Poker House and The Beaver

0:42:400:42:43

were all pointless answers.

0:42:430:42:44

Very well done if you got any of those at home

0:42:440:42:46

and unlucky in the studio.

0:42:460:42:48

-Great fun, though, wasn't it? A lovely show.

-Fantastic.

0:42:480:42:50

Well, Jason and Vicky very sadly didn't win our jackpot today,

0:42:500:42:53

which means it rolls over onto the next show,

0:42:530:42:55

when we will be playing for £2,250.

0:42:550:42:58

-AUDIENCE:

-Woo!

0:42:580:42:59

APPLAUSE

0:42:590:43:01

Join us then to see if someone can win it.

0:43:010:43:03

-Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.

-Goodbye.

0:43:030:43:05

And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
