0:00:15 > 0:00:17APPLAUSE
0:00:20 > 0:00:22Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:25 > 0:00:28the show where we're always striving to find the most obscure answers.
0:00:28 > 0:00:29Let's meet today's players.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32APPLAUSE
0:00:33 > 0:00:36- Couple number one.- Hi, my name's Rory. I'm from Nottingham.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39This is my friend Poppy, also from Nottingham.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42- Couple number two. - Hi, I'm Lucy, this is Ken.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44- I'm from Manchester and Ken's from...- York.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Couple number three.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Hi, I'm Phil, I'm from Birmingham, and I've brought my son, Greg.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51And, finally, couple number four.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Linda, this is my partner, Ian, and we're from Oxfordshire.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56These are today's contestants.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59APPLAUSE
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Thank you very much, all of you. A warm welcome to Pointless.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Lovely to have you here.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05We'll get to chat to each of you as the show goes along.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08That just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10He's got nerves of steel and buttocks of granite.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16- APPLAUSE - Hiya. Hey, everybody.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19- Afternoon to you.- And to you.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Now, Ann and Paul didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:01:21 > 0:01:23which means we add another £1,000 to that,
0:01:23 > 0:01:27so today's jackpot starts off at £2,000. There we are.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29APPLAUSE
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34APPLAUSE
0:01:37 > 0:01:41OK, remember this. The pair with the highest score
0:01:41 > 0:01:43at the end of each round will be eliminated.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45That's all you have to remember. Best of luck to all four pairs.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Our first category this afternoon is...
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Science. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going first,
0:01:52 > 0:01:53who's going second?
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01OK, the question concerns...
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Modern scientific advancements, Richard.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10We're going to give you seven clues on each pass
0:02:10 > 0:02:12about modern scientific achievements,
0:02:12 > 0:02:15things that have happened in the 21st century, essentially.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17Seven on each board, 14 in all to have a go at home.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Thanks very much, Richard.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21So, we are looking for the scientific discoveries
0:02:21 > 0:02:23or achievements that match these clues.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07I'll read all of those again.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Now, Poppy, a very warm welcome to Pointless.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49- You are a student at Nottingham. - I am.- What are you studying?
0:03:49 > 0:03:52We both study history, so we don't want any history questions
0:03:52 > 0:03:57- to come up in case we embarrass ourselves.- OK. First year?
0:03:57 > 0:04:00- Second year.- Second year. How's it going? How was the first year?
0:04:00 > 0:04:04First year was fine, second year is picking up a bit, but it's fine.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07- Picking up in terms of the workload? - Workload.- The pressure.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10- Yeah, the grades are going down.- You sit exams at the end of this year?
0:04:10 > 0:04:13- Yeah.- Did you at the end of last year as well?
0:04:13 > 0:04:18- Yeah, lots of essays too.- Oh, no! Oh, it's like work!- I know.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Oh, dear, oh, dear. Now, Poppy,
0:04:20 > 0:04:22what are you going to go for on this board?
0:04:22 > 0:04:25There's a couple I know, from guessing from the letters
0:04:25 > 0:04:27- but I think they're all the obvious ones.- Yeah.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30So, it's just figuring out which is the one that will get the lowest.
0:04:30 > 0:04:36- Yeah.- But I think I'm going to go for the 2005 soft tissue
0:04:36 > 0:04:39- with Tyrannosaurus rex. - Tyrannosaurus rex.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42Dinosaur, TR - surely Tyrannosaurus rex.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Let's find out if it's right and how many of our 100 people said it.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49It's right.
0:04:50 > 0:04:5452, not bad. Gets you off to a good start.
0:04:54 > 0:04:55APPLAUSE
0:04:55 > 0:04:58Yeah, good start. It was a Kleenex, they found.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01- LAUGHTER - It was in the T Rex's jacket pocket.
0:05:01 > 0:05:06They assumed at some point it had a cold at a function of some sort.
0:05:06 > 0:05:07Oh, poor T Rex, though.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10It had its tissue in its hand, like this,
0:05:10 > 0:05:12and its nose is up here and it goes, "Atishoo."
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Yeah, you're having to catch.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18You have to get another T Rex to come over and dab it away.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22No, a pterodactyl does that. That's what a pterodactyl's wing is for.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25There we are. Thank you, Richard. Now, Lucy, welcome to Pointless.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28Good to have you here. What do you do, Lucy?
0:05:28 > 0:05:32We're both managers in a retail store in Britain.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36- Is this a famous retail store?- It is.- A large chain of retail stores?
0:05:36 > 0:05:38The most favourite department store.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41And what do you do, aside from working in this fine store?
0:05:41 > 0:05:45- Come on Pointless.- Hang on, you haven't been on before, have you?
0:05:45 > 0:05:48- No, I haven't. I like to bake a lot. That's my main hobby.- Excellent.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51- Take baking in to my lovely work colleagues.- Wonderful.
0:05:51 > 0:05:56- Now, Lucy, science. - I'm not feeling too great about it.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59I'm thinking this is going to be so obvious,
0:05:59 > 0:06:01but I'm going to have to go for it.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05I'm thinking the 2015 NASA confirmed liquid water was on this planet
0:06:05 > 0:06:07and I'm having an educated guess that it's Mars.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Well, let's find out. Mars. Is it right?
0:06:09 > 0:06:12How many of our 100 people said Mars?
0:06:14 > 0:06:15It's right.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18- Ooh.- I'm sorry. - APPLAUSE
0:06:18 > 0:06:21OK, 85. Listen, tactically,
0:06:21 > 0:06:24you might have done something sensible, cos you've taken
0:06:24 > 0:06:26one of the answers other people might have known off the board.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Think of it like that, Ken.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32Deep breath, count to ten. 85 for Mars.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Yeah, plenty of big scores, I suspect, in this round.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36- It was sparkling water, they found. - That's nice.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39- That's annoying, isn't it? - Thanks very much, Richard.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Now, Greg, a warm welcome to Pointless. Good to have you here.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45- What do you do, Greg? - I'm a student in Huddersfield.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47- What are you studying? - I study chemistry.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50- AUDIENCE:- Ooh. - LAUGHTER
0:06:50 > 0:06:51Look at that! Science.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Science, science. Fabulous.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57- And what year are you in, first? - I'm in my third year.- Third year.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00You're an old hand now. How's it been? Have you enjoyed it?
0:07:00 > 0:07:02It's good fun but it's really difficult.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06Lots of lab reports and assignments and lectures.
0:07:06 > 0:07:10Oh, no! You're making university sound like work again.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14I just can't believe this. What are your interests aside from science?
0:07:14 > 0:07:18- I play American football in my spare time.- See, that's fun!
0:07:18 > 0:07:20That's a society at Huddersfield, is it?
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Yeah, I spent the last year running it.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26There's the university society and there's amateur teams
0:07:26 > 0:07:29- about the country and I play in an amateur team as well.- There we are.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32Very good. Now, Greg, science.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34This is just a walk in the park for you, isn't it, Greg?
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Um, I knew about half of them
0:07:37 > 0:07:40and the one I wanted to go for hasn't come up yet,
0:07:40 > 0:07:44so, in 2013, the particle is the Higgs boson.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46The Higgs boson, the Higgs boson particle.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49Let's see if that's right and how many people knew that answer.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54It's right. 85 is our high score,
0:07:54 > 0:07:5652 our low. You pass the low score.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58New low score of 38. Well done, Greg.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01APPLAUSE
0:08:02 > 0:08:06- Very well played. It's so small, you know the head of a match?- Mm.
0:08:06 > 0:08:11It is smaller than that. That's why it took them so long to find it.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14- Yeah.- It's like when you drop a contact lens on a carpet.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18- That's how long it took them to find.- Wow, wow.- Yeah.- Tiny.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23- Now then, Ian, welcome back. - Thank you.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Welcome back. Now, head-to-head,
0:08:25 > 0:08:28- and you were our low-scorers in the head-to-head last time.- Yes.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31Got to be hoping to go through to the final this time.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Ian, are you worried about this board at all?
0:08:33 > 0:08:37- There's a few I know, a few I can guess.- OK.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40- Quickly remind us what you do, Ian. - I'm a software engineer.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Right you are. So, is science sort of within your...?
0:08:43 > 0:08:46- Yeah, I have a degree in astrophysics.- Well, there we are.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48This is... LAUGHTER
0:08:48 > 0:08:52Excellent, and on the back of that you can now talk us
0:08:52 > 0:08:54through the entire board. LAUGHTER
0:08:54 > 0:08:57The top one's Pluto. The second one, I'm not sure,
0:08:57 > 0:09:00but I would guess at L being Libra, perhaps.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02The next one, Human Genome Project.
0:09:02 > 0:09:07And the city, again guessed, based on P, is Paris.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09I will go for the Human Genome Project.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11The Human Genome Project, says Ian.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Let's see how many of our 100 people went for that.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19It's right. Well, 85 still our high score. You pass that.
0:09:19 > 0:09:2138's our low score. You pass that.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Look at that! Human Genome Project
0:09:23 > 0:09:26taking you down to 21. That degree wasn't in vain, Ian.
0:09:26 > 0:09:27APPLAUSE
0:09:27 > 0:09:30Good work from our chemist and our astrophysicist there
0:09:30 > 0:09:32on podiums three and four.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Pluto is correct. You did well to avoid it.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37Would have scored you 68 points.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40It's not Libra, actually. It's a very good answer.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42It's Lyra and would have scored you 1 point.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Very well done if you said that. And at the bottom, there is it, Paris.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Paris would have scored 44.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Thanks very much, Richard. We're halfway through the round,
0:09:50 > 0:09:51so let's take a look at those scores.
0:09:51 > 0:09:5421 was the best score of the pass, Ian. Very well done to you.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57Then we travel up to 38, where we find Greg and Phil.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59Up to 52, Poppy and Rory.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02Then up to 85, where we find Lucy and Ken.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06So, Ken, little bit of pressure on you there.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Let's hope there's a nice low-scoring brilliant answer there
0:10:08 > 0:10:10that you, and only you, know.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12- Good luck with that.- Yeah!
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:10:17 > 0:10:21OK, let's put seven more clues up on the board and here they come.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06I'm going to read those all one last time.
0:11:41 > 0:11:42There we are.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45- Linda, welcome back.- Thank you. - Remind us what you do, Linda.
0:11:45 > 0:11:51I do marketing and advertising sales for academic publishers.
0:11:51 > 0:11:52- Academic publishing.- Yes.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55- And, presumably, some scientific tomes on there as well.- Yes.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57What are your hobbies, Linda?
0:11:57 > 0:12:00We talked about my life painting last time
0:12:00 > 0:12:01but I also run a book club
0:12:01 > 0:12:06and I like photography and editing photographs that I've taken.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10- Very good. Do you do Photoshopping as well?- Exactly.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Ian has been my main muse for that,
0:12:12 > 0:12:15so he's been turned into a moon, an Easter egg...
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Is Ian fully clothed in these...?
0:12:17 > 0:12:22- Yes.- He is, and with additional pastry on his face in one instance,
0:12:22 > 0:12:24which didn't make him very happy at all,
0:12:24 > 0:12:26so he looked quite grumpy in that one.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29When you say "additional pastry"... LAUGHTER
0:12:29 > 0:12:33- Well, just pastry, really.- OK. - It didn't really stick.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35I wished I'd used mashed potato.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38You need an egg binder, I think, probably.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41- I hadn't thought it through. - Ah, well. There we are.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Now, Linda, you are on 21.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46The high-scorers, on 85, are Ken and Lucy,
0:12:46 > 0:12:48so your target is 63 or less.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52Yes, I'm going to go for the one atom thick
0:12:52 > 0:12:55extremely strong carbon allotrope
0:12:55 > 0:12:58- and I'm going to say graphene. - Graphene, says Linda.
0:12:58 > 0:12:59Very good indeed. Here is your red line.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Let's see if you get below that with graphene.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04If you do, you are definitely in the next round.
0:13:04 > 0:13:05How many people said graphene?
0:13:07 > 0:13:10It's right.
0:13:10 > 0:13:11Through you go.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15APPLAUSE
0:13:15 > 0:13:1916, lowest score so far. Well done. Taking your total up to 37.
0:13:19 > 0:13:20Great work, Linda.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24When historians watch this show in 50 years time, they will laugh
0:13:24 > 0:13:25at that only scoring 16 points.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27It's going to be the most important advance,
0:13:27 > 0:13:30I suspect, of the century. Extraordinary stuff.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34Very good. Thank you, Richard. Now then, Phil.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37A very warm welcome to Pointless. Lovely to have you here.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39What do you do, Phil?
0:13:39 > 0:13:43I work in a contact centre for one of the large building societies.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45- Right, and what are your hobbies? - I don't have many.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47In the last couple of years, I've taken up golf,
0:13:47 > 0:13:52so I attempt to play golf with a couple of friends.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55- Are you getting better at golf? - I am.- Have you been bitten by golf?
0:13:55 > 0:13:57The pleasure is not in the skill,
0:13:57 > 0:14:01- it's in the getting out in the open air.- I see. That's fun.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05- What else do you fill your time with?- I'm very bad at DIY,
0:14:05 > 0:14:08so I get pressured into doing DIY.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11If you're bad at DIY, it really can take a very long time, can't it?
0:14:11 > 0:14:14- Yes.- There you are, you're on 38.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16Ideally, you'd score 46 or less
0:14:16 > 0:14:20with this answer to be sure of a place in the next round.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24I'm going to go for the African country
0:14:24 > 0:14:27- and say Ethiopia. - Ethiopia, says Phil.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30Is that a guess because it's an African country beginning with E
0:14:30 > 0:14:33- or is it firm knowledge?- It's a guess.- It's an African country
0:14:33 > 0:14:35beginning with E. There's your red line.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37If Ethiopia gets you below that red line, you're into Round Two.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40How many of our 100 people said Ethiopia? Is it right?
0:14:42 > 0:14:44It is Ethiopia.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Ooh, look at that. 49. APPLAUSE
0:14:48 > 0:14:5249 for Ethiopia, taking your total up to 87.
0:14:53 > 0:14:58- That skeleton dates back 4.4 million years.- Wow!- Wow!
0:14:58 > 0:15:01- That's before we started this.- Yeah.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04- That's three years before this began.- Wow, what about that?
0:15:04 > 0:15:06- Amazing, isn't it?- Extraordinary. Thanks, Richard.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09- Ken, welcome to the show.- Thank you. - Lovely to have you here.
0:15:09 > 0:15:10What do you do, Ken?
0:15:10 > 0:15:13I'm a section manager at Britain's favourite department store.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16Section manager means what? You're in charge of...?
0:15:16 > 0:15:19I sell fitted kitchens, fitted bathrooms and sexy white goods,
0:15:19 > 0:15:22so if you're looking for a fridge or a freezer, I'm your man.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24What about...? You've just sold them to US!
0:15:24 > 0:15:28I didn't even realise I needed them until you said that.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30- You always need one.- Now, Ken,
0:15:30 > 0:15:33when you put aside white goods and kitchens,
0:15:33 > 0:15:36what sparks your imagination? What pleases you?
0:15:36 > 0:15:38I like travelling, so I've done a lot of city breaks,
0:15:38 > 0:15:40in European countries
0:15:40 > 0:15:42and also some international travelling as well.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44I was always quite boring in my youth, but now I'm older,
0:15:44 > 0:15:46I'm seeing more unusual parts of the world.
0:15:46 > 0:15:47Very exciting.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51Do you have a favourite city break, city that you'd recommend?
0:15:51 > 0:15:54I've been to Prague recently, which was really nice. Prague's lovely.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Brussels, fantastic.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58But I recently spent some time in Thailand last year
0:15:58 > 0:16:02- and Thailand was amazing, absolutely amazing place.- Fantastic.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06- Now, Ken, we need a score of 1 or less.- OK.
0:16:06 > 0:16:101 or less, just to be sure of a place in the next round.
0:16:11 > 0:16:17Um, I'm going to go with the border of France and this country
0:16:17 > 0:16:19would be Switzerland.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Switzerland, says Ken.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25There is your red line, down there.
0:16:25 > 0:16:29Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Switzerland.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33It's right.
0:16:33 > 0:16:3667, takes your total to 152.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39- APPLAUSE - Thank you, thank you.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43Interesting thing happening on podium four there.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47- 100 points would see a lockdown. - Thank you, Richard.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51- Now, Rory, we have a contest on our hands, do we not?- Yeah.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54What we need from you, essentially, is a correct answer,
0:16:54 > 0:16:56but we'll come to that in a moment. Rory, remind us what you do?
0:16:56 > 0:16:58I'm a student at Nottingham, doing history.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01- That's right, you're studying history.- Yeah.
0:17:01 > 0:17:02- Also in your second year.- Yes.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05What other things have you been getting up to in Nottingham,
0:17:05 > 0:17:08- aside from history? - I play hockey for the university.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12I'm not very good, but I'm in the fifth team which is the social team.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14That's the right team to be in, I think.
0:17:14 > 0:17:18Yeah, so we play the odd game, but mainly we meet up, nights out.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21Now, Rory, this board - we need a correct answer from you.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23That is, essentially, all we need. 100 points and we'll have lockdown.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26- OK.- But 99 or less gets you through.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Well, I know one.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31The telecommunications one I think might be gigabyte,
0:17:31 > 0:17:33but I'm not going to go for it in case it's wrong.
0:17:33 > 0:17:37So, I'm going to go for the mobile computing device and "tablet".
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Tablet, says Rory. Here is your red line.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Get below that with tablet, you're into Round Two.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44How many of our 100 said tablet?
0:17:46 > 0:17:49Very well done. That's what tablet had to do.
0:17:49 > 0:17:5075 it scores.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53APPLAUSE Taking your total up to 127.
0:17:53 > 0:17:54Well done, Rory,
0:17:54 > 0:17:57cos if you had gone for gigabyte, we would be in lockdown,
0:17:57 > 0:17:59because "Generation" is the G.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03And Generation would have scored you 30 points.
0:18:03 > 0:18:07Now, the M for the Nobel Prize in Medicine was "magnetic".
0:18:07 > 0:18:09That would have score 21.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12And far and away the best answer on the board is this dwarf planet.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14It's 27% bigger than Pluto
0:18:14 > 0:18:17and it's Eris. 3 points. Very well done if you said that.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Thanks very much indeed, Richard. So, at the end of our first round,
0:18:20 > 0:18:23the pair we've got to say goodbye to, I'm afraid, Ken and Lucy,
0:18:23 > 0:18:25it is you. I'm so sorry.
0:18:25 > 0:18:29We'll see you again next time. And I'm sure you'll go much further.
0:18:29 > 0:18:30I'll say right now,
0:18:30 > 0:18:32I think we're looking at a finalist pair here.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34- Bless you. - We'll look forward to that.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37- Meantime, thanks very much. Ken and Lucy.- Thank you.- Thanks.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39APPLAUSE
0:18:40 > 0:18:43But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46APPLAUSE
0:18:47 > 0:18:49And look at that.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52We're suddenly down to three pairs and at the end of this round,
0:18:52 > 0:18:54we'll have to say goodbye to another pair. But well done.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56We've made it through that science round.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59Quite a lot of highbrow scientific knowledge there
0:18:59 > 0:19:02amongst our three remaining pairs, so congratulations on that.
0:19:02 > 0:19:06Best of luck to all three pairs. Our category for Round Two today is...
0:19:07 > 0:19:09Pop music. Can you all decide in your pairs
0:19:09 > 0:19:12who's going first, who's going second?
0:19:12 > 0:19:14And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name...
0:19:30 > 0:19:35Artists who appeared in the top 40 biggest albums list of 2015.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37We're looking for the name of any act or artist who released
0:19:37 > 0:19:40one of the 40 best-selling albums of 2015 in the UK,
0:19:40 > 0:19:44- according to officialcharts.com. - Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:19:44 > 0:19:49- So, Rory.- Yeah, there's a lot of options, obviously.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52- A lot of options.- Yeah.- Only 40 of them will be right though.- OK.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54LAUGHTER
0:19:54 > 0:19:58- I think I'm going to go for Eminem. - Eminem, says Rory.- Yeah.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said Eminem.
0:20:04 > 0:20:05Oh!
0:20:07 > 0:20:09- Not one of the 40, I'm afraid, Rory.- Sorry, poppy.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12- That scores you 100 points, sorry. - Yeah, sorry, Rory,
0:20:12 > 0:20:15he didn't have a big new album out in 2015, I'm afraid.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18Thanks very much indeed. Now, Phil.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21- That takes a bit of pressure off. - It does a bit.
0:20:22 > 0:20:26I'm going to play safe and say One Direction.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28One Direction, says Phil. Let's see if that's right
0:20:28 > 0:20:31and how many of our 100 people said One Direction.
0:20:33 > 0:20:34It's right.
0:20:39 > 0:20:4128, not bad for a safe answer, Phil!
0:20:41 > 0:20:44APPLAUSE 28 for One Direction.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46Made In The AM,
0:20:46 > 0:20:49- the 14th biggest selling album of 2015.- Good.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53- Now, Linda.- Yes, am I allowed to say Alexander Armstrong?
0:20:53 > 0:20:58I'd be very flattered but I, I... Ah, that's nice of you.
0:20:58 > 0:21:02Um, I'd be very surprised, but is that what you're going to say?
0:21:02 > 0:21:04That's what I'm going to say.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07That's a very expensive way of flattering me, but thank you.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09LAUGHTER
0:21:09 > 0:21:13Well, let's put that to the test. Alexander Armstrong. Is that right?
0:21:16 > 0:21:19LAUGHTER
0:21:23 > 0:21:26CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:21:26 > 0:21:30Oh, that's so exciting! That's a pointless answer.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34That adds £250 to today's jackpot.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37£2,250 is the total.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40That has taken the wind out of my... I had no idea!
0:21:40 > 0:21:42LAUGHTER
0:21:42 > 0:21:44That scores you nothing and...
0:21:44 > 0:21:48- I didn't know that!- Yeah.- Top 40?!
0:21:48 > 0:21:52The 32nd biggest selling album of the year, you released.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54- That's impressive. - Linda, that paid off nicely,
0:21:54 > 0:21:58- didn't it? Thank you very much. - I nearly had a crisis of confidence
0:21:58 > 0:22:00- when you didn't seem to know. - I wouldn't have thought I was
0:22:00 > 0:22:04- in the top...- Don't they tell you? - I'd have thought top 70, maybe.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07- I tell you what, Eminem who?- Yeah! LAUGHTER
0:22:07 > 0:22:11- Marshall what?- You know? - Yeah. Very well done indeed.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14That's absolutely superb. Um, yeah.
0:22:14 > 0:22:19Whoa! Whoo! Yes! Oh, Lordy! LAUGHTER
0:22:19 > 0:22:21We're about to head back up the line. Before we do that,
0:22:21 > 0:22:23let's take a look at those scores.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Nothing was the best score there.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28Very well answered there, Linda, if I might say.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30Then up to 28, where we find Phil and Greg.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32Then up to 100, Rory and Poppy.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35So, Poppy, we need a low score. Best of luck with that.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:22:41 > 0:22:43OK, we are looking for any artist
0:22:43 > 0:22:48who had one of 2015's top 40 best-selling albums.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Ian, we're looking for
0:22:50 > 0:22:54the most obscure you can find. Your target, by the way,
0:22:54 > 0:22:55is 99 or less.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57I think I did see
0:22:57 > 0:23:01an old-timer who had a classical remix album.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03That was Elvis Presley.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06Elvis Presley, says Ian. Elvis Presley.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Sounds like a good answer to me. There is your red line.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11Get below that, you're through to the next round.
0:23:11 > 0:23:12How many people said Elvis?
0:23:14 > 0:23:16It's right.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Look at that! 2!
0:23:23 > 0:23:25Very well played on the far podium there.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Taking your total up to 2.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30- APPLAUSE - Terrific stuff.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra did a lot of orchestral reworking
0:23:32 > 0:23:37of Elvis's hits. The fourth biggest selling album of the year as well.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40- Isn't that amazing? - Very good. Thanks, Richard.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42Now, Greg. There you are on 28.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44The high-scorers still Poppy and Rory on 100,
0:23:44 > 0:23:47so 71 or less gets you through.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Er, I don't really know much about pop music,
0:23:49 > 0:23:51so I'm going to say something I think safe
0:23:51 > 0:23:53- and I'm going to say Adele.- Adele.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56I think Adele and a wrong answer are almost going to score the same,
0:23:56 > 0:23:59but we'll see. Let's find out. There is your red line.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02Get below that with Adele, good luck to you.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Let's see how many of our 100 people said Adele.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09It's right. Ooh, how wrong I am.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11Look at that! 64 for Adele.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14Good answer and, more importantly, good enough to get you through.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18- 92 is your total.- Yeah, biggest selling album by a mile that.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21- By a mile.- Thanks very much indeed.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25Now, Poppy, I'm sorry to say this but you are our high-scorers,
0:24:25 > 0:24:27even before you've given your brilliant answer.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30You've had time to come up with an absolute cracker.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32Mm, well, I was going to say Alexander Armstrong
0:24:32 > 0:24:34but as that's gone, um...
0:24:34 > 0:24:37You can say it again if you like. LAUGHTER
0:24:37 > 0:24:40Um, I'm not too sure this one's right, I can't remember the year,
0:24:40 > 0:24:44but he's my favourite singer, so I'm going to say David Bowie.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48David Bowie, says Poppy. David Bowie.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50No red line for you as you're our high-scorers
0:24:50 > 0:24:52even before we give the answer, but let's see.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55David Bowie. Has Poppy got the right year? Let's find out.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00Bad luck, Poppy,
0:25:00 > 0:25:02but it was a good punt. Out in a blaze of glory.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06- 100, takes your total up to 200. - Yeah, I'm sure he'll be on the list
0:25:06 > 0:25:08for 2016 best-selling albums, but not 2015, I'm afraid.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11Lots of pointless answers here, actually.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14Let's take a look at some of them. We heard the first one already.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17The wonderful Alexander Armstrong.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19If you've not heard the album,
0:25:19 > 0:25:24it's like kind of Frank Sinatra meets Kanye West.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27- It's got that sort of vibe to it. - I think that's about right, yes.
0:25:27 > 0:25:28It is terrific stuff though.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32Ella Henderson, Chapter One was 31st best-selling album of the year.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35Fall Out Boy, American Beauty/ American Psycho.
0:25:35 > 0:25:36Florence & The Machine, a wonderful album.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40Jeff Lynne's ELO did Alone In The Universe.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43Mumford & Sons also on the list.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46Muse had a hit with Drones. Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds,
0:25:46 > 0:25:49and Paul Simon, his Ultimate Collection also on that list.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51A couple of other pointless answers.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53Gregory Porter and Catfish And The Bottlemen.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56All those would have been pointless. Well done if you said any of those.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58Take a look at the top three, ones most of our 100 people said.
0:25:58 > 0:26:02We've heard the top two, actually, but Sam Smith is third with 24.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09So, at the end of our second round, the pair heading home
0:26:09 > 0:26:12with their high score of 200, I'm afraid, Poppy and Rory, it is you.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14But we will see you again next time.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Meantime, thanks very much for playing. Poppy and Rory.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20APPLAUSE
0:26:20 > 0:26:22But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25APPLAUSE
0:26:28 > 0:26:30Congratulations, Ian and Linda, Phil and Greg.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32You are now one step closer to the final and a chance
0:26:32 > 0:26:37to play for our jackpot, which currently stands at £2,250.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40APPLAUSE
0:26:40 > 0:26:42So, here we are in the head-to-head round,
0:26:42 > 0:26:44which means you're now allowed to confer,
0:26:44 > 0:26:47which is rather lovely and the first player to win two questions
0:26:47 > 0:26:50will be playing for that jackpot. Best of luck to both pairs.
0:26:50 > 0:26:51Let's play the head-to-head.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54APPLAUSE
0:26:57 > 0:27:00Here is your first question, and it concerns...
0:27:02 > 0:27:05- Sporting Steves, Richard.- We're going to show you five pictures
0:27:05 > 0:27:08of famous Sporting Steves or Stephens.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10Can you identify the most obscure?
0:27:10 > 0:27:13OK, thanks, Richard. Let's reveal our five Steves and here they are.
0:27:13 > 0:27:14We've got...
0:27:37 > 0:27:41There we are. Five Sporting Steves or Stephens.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43Ian and Linda, you're our low-scorers again,
0:27:43 > 0:27:45so you will go first.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48INDISTINCT DISCUSSION
0:27:52 > 0:27:54Two of those I don't know.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56Probably going to be the lowest scorers as well.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59So, I'll say E is Stephen Hendry.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02OK, E, Stephen Hendry, say Ian and Linda. Stephen Hendry.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04Phil and Greg,
0:28:04 > 0:28:06can you talk us through the other Steves on the board?
0:28:06 > 0:28:08A is Steven Gerrard.
0:28:08 > 0:28:12- Is it Steve Redgrave? - Steve Redgrave is B.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14I have no idea who D is.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16- But C is...- Steve Austin.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19- Is that what you're going for? - That's our final answer.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21You're going for C, Steve Austin.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23So, we have Stephen Hendry, we have Steve Austin.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25Ian and Linda, Stephen Hendry. Let's see if that's right for E
0:28:25 > 0:28:27and how many of our 100 people spotted Stephen Hendry.
0:28:30 > 0:28:31It's right.
0:28:33 > 0:28:3659 for Stephen Hendry.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38APPLAUSE
0:28:38 > 0:28:42Phil and Greg, meanwhile, have gone for Steve Austin for C.
0:28:42 > 0:28:43Let's see if that's right
0:28:43 > 0:28:46and how many of our 100 people said Steve Austin.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50It's right.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53And it wins the point, look at that.
0:28:54 > 0:28:5619 for Steve Austin,
0:28:56 > 0:29:00which means, Phil and Greg, after one question, you are up 1-0.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03"Stone Cold" Steve Austin, the WWE champion.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06There's an answer that would have beaten Steve Austin
0:29:06 > 0:29:09and it's not one of the ones you've given us already.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18Pretty low score, 38. I think it's the photo, maybe.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20You don't quite see it's him on first look.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23But the best answer is the US golfer Steve Stricker.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26Well done if you said that. 1 point, a terrific answer.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28There we are. Thank you very much, Richard.
0:29:28 > 0:29:31Now then, Ian and Linda, this can't happen a second time.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34- I think it can. - You have to steal this one back.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37You have to win this one. But Phil and Greg get to answer first,
0:29:37 > 0:29:40so best of luck. Our second question today is all about...
0:29:42 > 0:29:44European capitals, Richard.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46Going to show you the names of five European capitals now
0:29:46 > 0:29:48but in the form of anagrams.
0:29:48 > 0:29:51Can you unscramble them and give us the most obscure answer?
0:29:51 > 0:29:54OK, let's reveal our five anagrams and here they come.
0:30:02 > 0:30:04I'll read those again.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11There we go. Phil and Greg will go first.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14INDISTINCT DISCUSSION
0:30:22 > 0:30:25We're going to go for the fourth one. Valletta.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28Valletta, say Phil and Greg. Valletta.
0:30:28 > 0:30:32Now then, Ian and Linda, do you fancy talking us through the others?
0:30:32 > 0:30:36No, um, but we've got one answer and it's the third one down
0:30:36 > 0:30:39and we think it's Podgorica.
0:30:39 > 0:30:43- I don't think I'm pronouncing that right, but...- Podgorica.- Podgorica.
0:30:43 > 0:30:47Podgorica. So we have Valletta and we have Podgorica.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50Now then, Phil and Greg went for Valletta.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52Let's see if that's right and how many people got Valletta.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57It's right.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02Good answer. 30 for Valletta.
0:31:02 > 0:31:05APPLAUSE
0:31:06 > 0:31:09Now then, Ian and Linda have gone for Podgorica.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11You have to win this one to stay in the game.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14It would be very exciting if this is right and wins you the point.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17Podgorica, is that right, and if it is, how many people said it?
0:31:19 > 0:31:21It is right.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23Podgorica.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26And it's won you back.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28Ooh, down to 3. That's a great answer.
0:31:28 > 0:31:33Very, very well done indeed. Ian and Linda, you're back in the game.
0:31:33 > 0:31:37Ah, this is perfect drama. After two questions, it's 1-1.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40Great answer, yes. Podgorica, you've said it exactly as it's spelt.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43Capital of Montenegro. Very, very good answer.
0:31:43 > 0:31:46Actually, those are the best two answers up there. Less Rubs?
0:31:46 > 0:31:47- Brussels.- Brussels.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51- Moth Locks?- Stockholm.- Stockholm.
0:31:52 > 0:31:54- And Bun Lid?- Dublin.- Dublin.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58Thank you very much indeed. This is very exciting.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01It comes down to the third question. This is the decider.
0:32:01 > 0:32:02Whoever wins this goes through to the final
0:32:02 > 0:32:05and plays for that jackpot, so best of luck to both pairs.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08Our third question today is all about...
0:32:10 > 0:32:12Charles I, Richard.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15Yeah, five clues to facts about the British monarch Charles I.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17Whichever team gives us the most obscure answer is
0:32:17 > 0:32:19going through to play for that jackpot.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21ALEXANDER GASPS OK, thank you very much.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24Let's reveal our five clues and here they come. We've got...
0:32:40 > 0:32:42I shall read those all one last time.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58There we are. Ian and Linda will go first.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01Do you know any apart from the second one
0:33:01 > 0:33:03cos that's all I know?
0:33:03 > 0:33:06INDISTINCT DISCUSSION
0:33:06 > 0:33:10We're going to go for the second one down and we'll say Stuart.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13Stuart, say Ian and Linda. Stuart. Now then, Phil and Greg,
0:33:13 > 0:33:16talk us through that board as much as you can.
0:33:16 > 0:33:21The century in which he ruled was the 17th century.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24I think the island's got to be the Isle of Wight.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26No idea what the London street is,
0:33:26 > 0:33:30but we'll go for the 17th century.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33The 17th century, say Phil and Greg.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36So, we have the Stuarts and we have the 17th century.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38And Linda said the Stuarts, the royal house to which he belonged.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41Let's see if that's right and how many people said the Stuarts.
0:33:44 > 0:33:45It's right.
0:33:48 > 0:33:5241. APPLAUSE
0:33:53 > 0:33:5541 for the Stuarts.
0:33:55 > 0:33:57Now then, Phil and Greg have gone for the 17th century.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said it.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04It is right.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08It's going to be close. Look at that!
0:34:08 > 0:34:1131 for the 17th century.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13APPLAUSE Phil and Greg, you have done it.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16After three questions, you are through to the final, 2-1.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19Very well played. 1625 to 1649, Charles I.
0:34:19 > 0:34:25The French princess was Henrietta Maria. Maryland was named after her.
0:34:25 > 0:34:2910 points for that. The mother of Charles II and James II as well.
0:34:29 > 0:34:34And he escaped from Hampton Court to the island of Isle of Wight.
0:34:35 > 0:34:38And the London street? This is the best answer on the board.
0:34:38 > 0:34:42- Whitehall.- It was Whitehall, yeah. Well done if you said that.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44Thank you very much indeed.
0:34:44 > 0:34:46So, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:34:46 > 0:34:48I'm afraid, Ian and Linda, I'm so sorry.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51Twice you've been our low-scoring pair in this head-to-head round
0:34:51 > 0:34:54and I'm sorry that you go home without a sniff of a trophy.
0:34:54 > 0:34:58It seems very unfair, particularly when you've given the best answer
0:34:58 > 0:35:01in the history of the game. But it's been lovely having you on.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03Thank you so much for playing. Ian and Linda, very well done indeed.
0:35:03 > 0:35:07APPLAUSE
0:35:07 > 0:35:09But for Phil and Greg, it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:09 > 0:35:13APPLAUSE
0:35:13 > 0:35:17Congratulations, Phil and Greg, you have fought off the competition
0:35:17 > 0:35:19and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:25 > 0:35:28You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:35:28 > 0:35:32and at the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £2,250.
0:35:32 > 0:35:35There we are. APPLAUSE
0:35:35 > 0:35:38Well, I think you've made good account of yourselves.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41Your first appearance on Pointless, straight through to the final.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44Anything you particularly want to see come up in this last round?
0:35:44 > 0:35:48- Er, Super Bowl winners would be good for me.- Phil?
0:35:48 > 0:35:51- Things about the Grand National. - OK, very best of luck.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54You get to choose your category from the four we throw up on the board.
0:35:54 > 0:35:58Let's see what today's selection looks like. We've got...
0:36:07 > 0:36:09Definitely not the top...
0:36:09 > 0:36:12- three. - LAUGHTER
0:36:12 > 0:36:15- So, Horses.- That sounds like it fell very nicely for you, Phil.
0:36:15 > 0:36:19- OK, Horses it is. Richard. - OK, three different questions here.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22Best of luck. We are looking for the name of any overall winner
0:36:22 > 0:36:24of the Burghley Horse Trials Three Day Event since it began
0:36:24 > 0:36:27in 1961 all the way up to 2015.
0:36:27 > 0:36:29We are looking for the name of anyone who won a medal
0:36:29 > 0:36:33at the 2012 Summer Olympics for Team GB in an equestrian event, please.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35It can be in a team or as an individual.
0:36:35 > 0:36:39Or we're looking for any 21st century Grand National winner.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41- LAUGHTER - So, Grand National winner
0:36:41 > 0:36:43from 2000 to 2015.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46So, Burghley Horse Trials, equestrian medallists
0:36:46 > 0:36:49and Grand National winners, 2000 to 2015.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52There we go. As always, you've got up to a minute
0:36:52 > 0:36:54to come up with three answers. All you need to win that jackpot
0:36:54 > 0:36:56is for one of those answers to be pointless.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58- Are you ready?- Yeah.
0:36:58 > 0:37:00Let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:37:00 > 0:37:02Your time starts now.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04You've got Monty's Pass.
0:37:04 > 0:37:06- I know Ballabriggs.- Ballabriggs.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08- But if you know it and I know it... - Yeah.
0:37:08 > 0:37:10Pineau De Re was a couple of years ago
0:37:10 > 0:37:12but it's not a name
0:37:12 > 0:37:13that people remember.
0:37:13 > 0:37:16But the one I'm thinking, Red Marauder,
0:37:16 > 0:37:17cos only four finished.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20It was a really big prize.
0:37:20 > 0:37:22And there was Mon Mome.
0:37:22 > 0:37:23It was 100 to 1.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26But I think, cos it was 100 to 1, people will remember that.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28This is your category, so...
0:37:28 > 0:37:31- Er, so I'd say Red Marauder.- Yeah.
0:37:33 > 0:37:35Er...
0:37:35 > 0:37:37- Pineau De Re.- Yeah.
0:37:37 > 0:37:41And... Who do you think? Monty's Pass or...?
0:37:41 > 0:37:43- Monty's Pass, probably.- Er...
0:37:45 > 0:37:47Ballabriggs.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49Is Hedgehunter 21st century?
0:37:49 > 0:37:52- I think it was.- Ten seconds left.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56I'd go for the three you know for definite.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00Er... OK.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03OK, that's your time up. Let's have your three answers.
0:38:03 > 0:38:05What would you like to go for?
0:38:05 > 0:38:08- From the 21st century Grand National winners.- Splendid.
0:38:08 > 0:38:11- I'm going to say Red Marauder. - Red Marauder.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14- Pineau De Re.- Pineau De Re.
0:38:14 > 0:38:19- And Numbersixvalverde. - Numbersixvalverde.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22OK, of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:22 > 0:38:25- I think Red Marauder.- Red Marauder goes last. Least likely?
0:38:25 > 0:38:30Cos I'm not sure it's the correct name, Numbersixvalverde.
0:38:30 > 0:38:31Numbersixvalverde.
0:38:31 > 0:38:34OK, let's pop those answers up in that order, and here they are.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36We have got...
0:38:41 > 0:38:44Very, very best of luck. Three fantastic answers up there.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47Surely one of those will bring that jackpot home for you.
0:38:47 > 0:38:49Let's keep our fingers crossed.
0:38:49 > 0:38:52If that's what were to happen, £2,250,
0:38:52 > 0:38:54what would you do with that, Phil?
0:38:54 > 0:38:59Well, I've been saying to my wife we'd go to New York
0:38:59 > 0:39:04for about ten years and we've never got there, so...
0:39:04 > 0:39:06- Time to put your money where your mouth is, Phil.- Yeah.
0:39:06 > 0:39:08Greg, what about you?
0:39:08 > 0:39:10Me and my friends all want to go on holiday in the summer
0:39:10 > 0:39:14and that will get me to...will pay for it all, really.
0:39:14 > 0:39:17OK, very best of luck. In the case of all three of these,
0:39:17 > 0:39:20we were looking for 21st century Grand National winners.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23Your first answer was Numbersixvalverde.
0:39:23 > 0:39:26Let's find out if it's right, then let's find out if it's pointless.
0:39:26 > 0:39:29If it's both of those things, you leave here with £2,250.
0:39:29 > 0:39:31Let's see how many people said Numbersixvalverde.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36It's right.
0:39:36 > 0:39:37You weren't entirely sure
0:39:37 > 0:39:40if this was going to be in the right timeframe but it absolutely is.
0:39:40 > 0:39:43Numbersixvalverde takes us down through the 20s into the teens.
0:39:43 > 0:39:46Into single figures. Still going down. Down it goes...
0:39:46 > 0:39:48You've done it! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:39:48 > 0:39:51Well done, very well done indeed! Fantastic!
0:39:51 > 0:39:53Very impressive.
0:39:57 > 0:39:59Well, that was impressive!
0:39:59 > 0:40:03Almost effortless, I would say, there, but many congratulations.
0:40:03 > 0:40:05Numbersixvalverde was a pointless answer,
0:40:05 > 0:40:08which means you go home with that jackpot of £2,250.
0:40:08 > 0:40:11Very well done indeed, Phil and Greg.
0:40:11 > 0:40:13APPLAUSE
0:40:15 > 0:40:17Pointless answers come in different ways.
0:40:17 > 0:40:19Often, someone has to go right to the back of their mind
0:40:19 > 0:40:21to pull out one fact they know about something.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23And sometimes, the perfect category comes up.
0:40:23 > 0:40:25And when it does, usually in sport,
0:40:25 > 0:40:27there are pointless answers everywhere.
0:40:27 > 0:40:29It won't surprise you to know all three answers are pointless
0:40:29 > 0:40:31so very, very well done.
0:40:31 > 0:40:34CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:40:36 > 0:40:39And there were plenty more too. Anyone who knows their horse racing
0:40:39 > 0:40:41would have got three pointless answers there.
0:40:41 > 0:40:43We'll look at the answers from the different categories
0:40:43 > 0:40:45in case you're answering different ones at home.
0:40:45 > 0:40:47We'll start with Burghley Horse Trials.
0:40:51 > 0:40:54Everyone pointless there, apart from Princess Anne, Lucinda Green,
0:40:54 > 0:40:56Mary King, Richard Meade and Mark Todd.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58The Team GB equestrian medallists.
0:40:58 > 0:41:00Quite a lot of pointless answers here as well.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06You could have had Carl Hester, Nicola Wilson,
0:41:06 > 0:41:09Peter Charles or Scott Brash. They were all pointless answers.
0:41:09 > 0:41:11Now let's look at these Grand National winners.
0:41:11 > 0:41:14You could have been going a long time and still not have run out.
0:41:19 > 0:41:21Also, Auroras Encore was a pointless answer,
0:41:21 > 0:41:23Don't Push It, Monty's Pass
0:41:23 > 0:41:26and the other two that you gave us, Pineau De Re and Red Marauder.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29- Terrific work. Very well played. - Fantastic.
0:41:29 > 0:41:31Well, thanks once again to our winning players,
0:41:31 > 0:41:35Phil and Greg, who go away with today's jackpot of £2,250.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37Very well done indeed. APPLAUSE
0:41:37 > 0:41:40Join us next time, when we'll put more obscure knowledge to the test!
0:41:40 > 0:41:43- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:41:43 > 0:41:45And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
0:41:45 > 0:41:47APPLAUSE
