APPLAUSE

0:00:150:00:17

Thank you very much indeed.

0:00:200:00:22

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

0:00:220:00:25

the show where we're always striving to find the most obscure answers.

0:00:250:00:28

Let's meet today's players.

0:00:280:00:29

APPLAUSE

0:00:290:00:32

-Couple number one.

-Hi, my name's Rory. I'm from Nottingham.

0:00:330:00:36

This is my friend Poppy, also from Nottingham.

0:00:360:00:39

-Couple number two.

-Hi, I'm Lucy, this is Ken.

0:00:390:00:42

-I'm from Manchester and Ken's from...

-York.

0:00:420:00:44

Couple number three.

0:00:440:00:46

Hi, I'm Phil, I'm from Birmingham, and I've brought my son, Greg.

0:00:460:00:49

And, finally, couple number four.

0:00:490:00:51

Hi, I'm Linda, this is my partner, Ian, and we're from Oxfordshire.

0:00:510:00:54

These are today's contestants.

0:00:540:00:56

APPLAUSE

0:00:560:00:59

Thank you very much, all of you. A warm welcome to Pointless.

0:00:590:01:01

Lovely to have you here.

0:01:010:01:03

We'll get to chat to each of you as the show goes along.

0:01:030:01:05

That just leaves one more person for me to introduce.

0:01:050:01:08

He's got nerves of steel and buttocks of granite.

0:01:080:01:10

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

0:01:100:01:13

-APPLAUSE

-Hiya. Hey, everybody.

0:01:130:01:16

-Afternoon to you.

-And to you.

0:01:170:01:19

Now, Ann and Paul didn't win the jackpot last time,

0:01:190:01:21

which means we add another £1,000 to that,

0:01:210:01:23

so today's jackpot starts off at £2,000. There we are.

0:01:230:01:27

APPLAUSE

0:01:270:01:29

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

0:01:290:01:32

APPLAUSE

0:01:320:01:34

OK, remember this. The pair with the highest score

0:01:370:01:41

at the end of each round will be eliminated.

0:01:410:01:43

That's all you have to remember. Best of luck to all four pairs.

0:01:430:01:45

Our first category this afternoon is...

0:01:450:01:48

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

0:01:490:01:52

who's going second?

0:01:520:01:53

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

0:01:530:01:55

OK, the question concerns...

0:01:590:02:01

Modern scientific advancements, Richard.

0:02:040:02:07

We're going to give you seven clues on each pass

0:02:070:02:10

about modern scientific achievements,

0:02:100:02:12

things that have happened in the 21st century, essentially.

0:02:120:02:15

Seven on each board, 14 in all to have a go at home.

0:02:150:02:17

Thanks very much, Richard.

0:02:170:02:19

So, we are looking for the scientific discoveries

0:02:190:02:21

or achievements that match these clues.

0:02:210:02:23

I'll read all of those again.

0:03:050:03:07

Now, Poppy, a very warm welcome to Pointless.

0:03:430:03:46

-You are a student at Nottingham.

-I am.

-What are you studying?

0:03:460:03:49

We both study history, so we don't want any history questions

0:03:490:03:52

-to come up in case we embarrass ourselves.

-OK. First year?

0:03:520:03:57

-Second year.

-Second year. How's it going? How was the first year?

0:03:570:04:00

First year was fine, second year is picking up a bit, but it's fine.

0:04:000:04:04

-Picking up in terms of the workload?

-Workload.

-The pressure.

0:04:040:04:07

-Yeah, the grades are going down.

-You sit exams at the end of this year?

0:04:070:04:10

-Yeah.

-Did you at the end of last year as well?

0:04:100:04:13

-Yeah, lots of essays too.

-Oh, no! Oh, it's like work!

-I know.

0:04:130:04:18

Oh, dear, oh, dear. Now, Poppy,

0:04:180:04:20

what are you going to go for on this board?

0:04:200:04:22

There's a couple I know, from guessing from the letters

0:04:220:04:25

-but I think they're all the obvious ones.

-Yeah.

0:04:250:04:27

So, it's just figuring out which is the one that will get the lowest.

0:04:270:04:30

-Yeah.

-But I think I'm going to go for the 2005 soft tissue

0:04:300:04:36

-with Tyrannosaurus rex.

-Tyrannosaurus rex.

0:04:360:04:39

Dinosaur, TR - surely Tyrannosaurus rex.

0:04:390:04:42

Let's find out if it's right and how many of our 100 people said it.

0:04:420:04:44

It's right.

0:04:470:04:49

52, not bad. Gets you off to a good start.

0:04:500:04:54

APPLAUSE

0:04:540:04:55

Yeah, good start. It was a Kleenex, they found.

0:04:550:04:58

-LAUGHTER

-It was in the T Rex's jacket pocket.

0:04:580:05:01

They assumed at some point it had a cold at a function of some sort.

0:05:010:05:06

Oh, poor T Rex, though.

0:05:060:05:07

It had its tissue in its hand, like this,

0:05:070:05:10

and its nose is up here and it goes, "Atishoo."

0:05:100:05:12

Yeah, you're having to catch.

0:05:120:05:14

You have to get another T Rex to come over and dab it away.

0:05:140:05:18

No, a pterodactyl does that. That's what a pterodactyl's wing is for.

0:05:180:05:22

There we are. Thank you, Richard. Now, Lucy, welcome to Pointless.

0:05:220:05:25

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

0:05:250:05:28

We're both managers in a retail store in Britain.

0:05:280:05:32

-Is this a famous retail store?

-It is.

-A large chain of retail stores?

0:05:320:05:36

The most favourite department store.

0:05:360:05:38

And what do you do, aside from working in this fine store?

0:05:380:05:41

-Come on Pointless.

-Hang on, you haven't been on before, have you?

0:05:410:05:45

-No, I haven't. I like to bake a lot. That's my main hobby.

-Excellent.

0:05:450:05:48

-Take baking in to my lovely work colleagues.

-Wonderful.

0:05:480:05:51

-Now, Lucy, science.

-I'm not feeling too great about it.

0:05:510:05:56

I'm thinking this is going to be so obvious,

0:05:570:05:59

but I'm going to have to go for it.

0:05:590:06:01

I'm thinking the 2015 NASA confirmed liquid water was on this planet

0:06:010:06:05

and I'm having an educated guess that it's Mars.

0:06:050:06:07

Well, let's find out. Mars. Is it right?

0:06:070:06:09

How many of our 100 people said Mars?

0:06:090:06:12

It's right.

0:06:140:06:15

-Ooh.

-I'm sorry.

-APPLAUSE

0:06:150:06:18

OK, 85. Listen, tactically,

0:06:180:06:21

you might have done something sensible, cos you've taken

0:06:210:06:24

one of the answers other people might have known off the board.

0:06:240:06:26

Think of it like that, Ken.

0:06:260:06:28

Deep breath, count to ten. 85 for Mars.

0:06:280:06:32

Yeah, plenty of big scores, I suspect, in this round.

0:06:320:06:34

-It was sparkling water, they found.

-That's nice.

0:06:340:06:36

-That's annoying, isn't it?

-Thanks very much, Richard.

0:06:360:06:39

Now, Greg, a warm welcome to Pointless. Good to have you here.

0:06:390:06:42

-What do you do, Greg?

-I'm a student in Huddersfield.

0:06:420:06:45

-What are you studying?

-I study chemistry.

0:06:450:06:47

-AUDIENCE:

-Ooh.

-LAUGHTER

0:06:470:06:50

Look at that! Science.

0:06:500:06:51

Science, science. Fabulous.

0:06:510:06:54

-And what year are you in, first?

-I'm in my third year.

-Third year.

0:06:540:06:57

You're an old hand now. How's it been? Have you enjoyed it?

0:06:570:07:00

It's good fun but it's really difficult.

0:07:000:07:02

Lots of lab reports and assignments and lectures.

0:07:020:07:06

Oh, no! You're making university sound like work again.

0:07:060:07:10

I just can't believe this. What are your interests aside from science?

0:07:100:07:14

-I play American football in my spare time.

-See, that's fun!

0:07:140:07:18

That's a society at Huddersfield, is it?

0:07:180:07:20

Yeah, I spent the last year running it.

0:07:200:07:23

There's the university society and there's amateur teams

0:07:230:07:26

-about the country and I play in an amateur team as well.

-There we are.

0:07:260:07:29

Very good. Now, Greg, science.

0:07:290:07:32

This is just a walk in the park for you, isn't it, Greg?

0:07:320:07:34

Um, I knew about half of them

0:07:340:07:37

and the one I wanted to go for hasn't come up yet,

0:07:370:07:40

so, in 2013, the particle is the Higgs boson.

0:07:400:07:44

The Higgs boson, the Higgs boson particle.

0:07:440:07:46

Let's see if that's right and how many people knew that answer.

0:07:460:07:49

It's right. 85 is our high score,

0:07:510:07:54

52 our low. You pass the low score.

0:07:540:07:56

New low score of 38. Well done, Greg.

0:07:560:07:58

APPLAUSE

0:07:580:08:01

-Very well played. It's so small, you know the head of a match?

-Mm.

0:08:020:08:06

It is smaller than that. That's why it took them so long to find it.

0:08:060:08:11

-Yeah.

-It's like when you drop a contact lens on a carpet.

0:08:110:08:14

-That's how long it took them to find.

-Wow, wow.

-Yeah.

-Tiny.

0:08:140:08:18

Thank you very much indeed, Richard.

0:08:180:08:20

-Now then, Ian, welcome back.

-Thank you.

0:08:200:08:23

Welcome back. Now, head-to-head,

0:08:230:08:25

-and you were our low-scorers in the head-to-head last time.

-Yes.

0:08:250:08:28

Got to be hoping to go through to the final this time.

0:08:280:08:31

Ian, are you worried about this board at all?

0:08:310:08:33

-There's a few I know, a few I can guess.

-OK.

0:08:330:08:37

-Quickly remind us what you do, Ian.

-I'm a software engineer.

0:08:370:08:40

Right you are. So, is science sort of within your...?

0:08:400:08:43

-Yeah, I have a degree in astrophysics.

-Well, there we are.

0:08:430:08:46

This is... LAUGHTER

0:08:460:08:48

Excellent, and on the back of that you can now talk us

0:08:480:08:52

through the entire board. LAUGHTER

0:08:520:08:54

The top one's Pluto. The second one, I'm not sure,

0:08:540:08:57

but I would guess at L being Libra, perhaps.

0:08:570:09:00

The next one, Human Genome Project.

0:09:000:09:02

And the city, again guessed, based on P, is Paris.

0:09:020:09:07

I will go for the Human Genome Project.

0:09:070:09:09

The Human Genome Project, says Ian.

0:09:090:09:11

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

0:09:110:09:13

It's right. Well, 85 still our high score. You pass that.

0:09:150:09:19

38's our low score. You pass that.

0:09:190:09:21

Look at that! Human Genome Project

0:09:210:09:23

taking you down to 21. That degree wasn't in vain, Ian.

0:09:230:09:26

APPLAUSE

0:09:260:09:27

Good work from our chemist and our astrophysicist there

0:09:270:09:30

on podiums three and four.

0:09:300:09:32

Pluto is correct. You did well to avoid it.

0:09:320:09:34

Would have scored you 68 points.

0:09:340:09:37

It's not Libra, actually. It's a very good answer.

0:09:370:09:40

It's Lyra and would have scored you 1 point.

0:09:400:09:42

Very well done if you said that. And at the bottom, there is it, Paris.

0:09:420:09:45

Paris would have scored 44.

0:09:450:09:47

Thanks very much, Richard. We're halfway through the round,

0:09:470:09:50

so let's take a look at those scores.

0:09:500:09:51

21 was the best score of the pass, Ian. Very well done to you.

0:09:510:09:54

Then we travel up to 38, where we find Greg and Phil.

0:09:540:09:57

Up to 52, Poppy and Rory.

0:09:570:09:59

Then up to 85, where we find Lucy and Ken.

0:09:590:10:02

So, Ken, little bit of pressure on you there.

0:10:020:10:06

Let's hope there's a nice low-scoring brilliant answer there

0:10:060:10:08

that you, and only you, know.

0:10:080:10:10

-Good luck with that.

-Yeah!

0:10:100:10:12

Can the second players please step up to the podium?

0:10:120:10:14

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

0:10:170:10:21

I'm going to read those all one last time.

0:11:030:11:06

There we are.

0:11:410:11:42

-Linda, welcome back.

-Thank you.

-Remind us what you do, Linda.

0:11:420:11:45

I do marketing and advertising sales for academic publishers.

0:11:450:11:51

-Academic publishing.

-Yes.

0:11:510:11:52

-And, presumably, some scientific tomes on there as well.

-Yes.

0:11:520:11:55

What are your hobbies, Linda?

0:11:550:11:57

We talked about my life painting last time

0:11:570:12:00

but I also run a book club

0:12:000:12:01

and I like photography and editing photographs that I've taken.

0:12:010:12:06

-Very good. Do you do Photoshopping as well?

-Exactly.

0:12:060:12:10

Ian has been my main muse for that,

0:12:100:12:12

so he's been turned into a moon, an Easter egg...

0:12:120:12:15

Is Ian fully clothed in these...?

0:12:150:12:17

-Yes.

-He is, and with additional pastry on his face in one instance,

0:12:170:12:22

which didn't make him very happy at all,

0:12:220:12:24

so he looked quite grumpy in that one.

0:12:240:12:26

When you say "additional pastry"... LAUGHTER

0:12:260:12:29

-Well, just pastry, really.

-OK.

-It didn't really stick.

0:12:290:12:33

I wished I'd used mashed potato.

0:12:330:12:35

You need an egg binder, I think, probably.

0:12:350:12:38

-I hadn't thought it through.

-Ah, well. There we are.

0:12:380:12:41

Now, Linda, you are on 21.

0:12:410:12:43

The high-scorers, on 85, are Ken and Lucy,

0:12:430:12:46

so your target is 63 or less.

0:12:460:12:48

Yes, I'm going to go for the one atom thick

0:12:480:12:52

extremely strong carbon allotrope

0:12:520:12:55

-and I'm going to say graphene.

-Graphene, says Linda.

0:12:550:12:58

Very good indeed. Here is your red line.

0:12:580:12:59

Let's see if you get below that with graphene.

0:12:590:13:01

If you do, you are definitely in the next round.

0:13:010:13:04

How many people said graphene?

0:13:040:13:05

It's right.

0:13:070:13:10

Through you go.

0:13:100:13:11

APPLAUSE

0:13:130:13:15

16, lowest score so far. Well done. Taking your total up to 37.

0:13:150:13:19

Great work, Linda.

0:13:190:13:20

When historians watch this show in 50 years time, they will laugh

0:13:200:13:24

at that only scoring 16 points.

0:13:240:13:25

It's going to be the most important advance,

0:13:250:13:27

I suspect, of the century. Extraordinary stuff.

0:13:270:13:30

Very good. Thank you, Richard. Now then, Phil.

0:13:300:13:34

A very warm welcome to Pointless. Lovely to have you here.

0:13:340:13:37

What do you do, Phil?

0:13:370:13:39

I work in a contact centre for one of the large building societies.

0:13:390:13:43

-Right, and what are your hobbies?

-I don't have many.

0:13:430:13:45

In the last couple of years, I've taken up golf,

0:13:450:13:47

so I attempt to play golf with a couple of friends.

0:13:470:13:52

-Are you getting better at golf?

-I am.

-Have you been bitten by golf?

0:13:520:13:55

The pleasure is not in the skill,

0:13:550:13:57

-it's in the getting out in the open air.

-I see. That's fun.

0:13:570:14:01

-What else do you fill your time with?

-I'm very bad at DIY,

0:14:010:14:05

so I get pressured into doing DIY.

0:14:050:14:08

If you're bad at DIY, it really can take a very long time, can't it?

0:14:080:14:11

-Yes.

-There you are, you're on 38.

0:14:110:14:14

Ideally, you'd score 46 or less

0:14:140:14:16

with this answer to be sure of a place in the next round.

0:14:160:14:20

I'm going to go for the African country

0:14:200:14:24

-and say Ethiopia.

-Ethiopia, says Phil.

0:14:240:14:27

Is that a guess because it's an African country beginning with E

0:14:270:14:30

-or is it firm knowledge?

-It's a guess.

-It's an African country

0:14:300:14:33

beginning with E. There's your red line.

0:14:330:14:35

If Ethiopia gets you below that red line, you're into Round Two.

0:14:350:14:37

How many of our 100 people said Ethiopia? Is it right?

0:14:370:14:40

It is Ethiopia.

0:14:420:14:44

Ooh, look at that. 49. APPLAUSE

0:14:460:14:48

49 for Ethiopia, taking your total up to 87.

0:14:480:14:52

-That skeleton dates back 4.4 million years.

-Wow!

-Wow!

0:14:530:14:58

-That's before we started this.

-Yeah.

0:14:580:15:01

-That's three years before this began.

-Wow, what about that?

0:15:010:15:04

-Amazing, isn't it?

-Extraordinary. Thanks, Richard.

0:15:040:15:06

-Ken, welcome to the show.

-Thank you.

-Lovely to have you here.

0:15:060:15:09

What do you do, Ken?

0:15:090:15:10

I'm a section manager at Britain's favourite department store.

0:15:100:15:13

Section manager means what? You're in charge of...?

0:15:130:15:16

I sell fitted kitchens, fitted bathrooms and sexy white goods,

0:15:160:15:19

so if you're looking for a fridge or a freezer, I'm your man.

0:15:190:15:22

What about...? You've just sold them to US!

0:15:220:15:24

I didn't even realise I needed them until you said that.

0:15:240:15:28

-You always need one.

-Now, Ken,

0:15:280:15:30

when you put aside white goods and kitchens,

0:15:300:15:33

what sparks your imagination? What pleases you?

0:15:330:15:36

I like travelling, so I've done a lot of city breaks,

0:15:360:15:38

in European countries

0:15:380:15:40

and also some international travelling as well.

0:15:400:15:42

I was always quite boring in my youth, but now I'm older,

0:15:420:15:44

I'm seeing more unusual parts of the world.

0:15:440:15:46

Very exciting.

0:15:460:15:47

Do you have a favourite city break, city that you'd recommend?

0:15:470:15:51

I've been to Prague recently, which was really nice. Prague's lovely.

0:15:510:15:54

Brussels, fantastic.

0:15:540:15:56

But I recently spent some time in Thailand last year

0:15:560:15:58

-and Thailand was amazing, absolutely amazing place.

-Fantastic.

0:15:580:16:02

-Now, Ken, we need a score of 1 or less.

-OK.

0:16:020:16:06

1 or less, just to be sure of a place in the next round.

0:16:060:16:10

Um, I'm going to go with the border of France and this country

0:16:110:16:17

would be Switzerland.

0:16:170:16:19

Switzerland, says Ken.

0:16:190:16:21

There is your red line, down there.

0:16:210:16:25

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

0:16:250:16:29

It's right.

0:16:310:16:33

67, takes your total to 152.

0:16:330:16:36

-APPLAUSE

-Thank you, thank you.

0:16:360:16:39

Interesting thing happening on podium four there.

0:16:390:16:43

-100 points would see a lockdown.

-Thank you, Richard.

0:16:430:16:47

-Now, Rory, we have a contest on our hands, do we not?

-Yeah.

0:16:470:16:51

What we need from you, essentially, is a correct answer,

0:16:510:16:54

but we'll come to that in a moment. Rory, remind us what you do?

0:16:540:16:56

I'm a student at Nottingham, doing history.

0:16:560:16:58

-That's right, you're studying history.

-Yeah.

0:16:580:17:01

-Also in your second year.

-Yes.

0:17:010:17:02

What other things have you been getting up to in Nottingham,

0:17:020:17:05

-aside from history?

-I play hockey for the university.

0:17:050:17:08

I'm not very good, but I'm in the fifth team which is the social team.

0:17:080:17:12

That's the right team to be in, I think.

0:17:120:17:14

Yeah, so we play the odd game, but mainly we meet up, nights out.

0:17:140:17:18

Now, Rory, this board - we need a correct answer from you.

0:17:180:17:21

That is, essentially, all we need. 100 points and we'll have lockdown.

0:17:210:17:23

-OK.

-But 99 or less gets you through.

0:17:230:17:26

Well, I know one.

0:17:260:17:28

The telecommunications one I think might be gigabyte,

0:17:280:17:31

but I'm not going to go for it in case it's wrong.

0:17:310:17:33

So, I'm going to go for the mobile computing device and "tablet".

0:17:330:17:37

Tablet, says Rory. Here is your red line.

0:17:370:17:39

Get below that with tablet, you're into Round Two.

0:17:390:17:41

How many of our 100 said tablet?

0:17:410:17:44

Very well done. That's what tablet had to do.

0:17:460:17:49

75 it scores.

0:17:490:17:50

APPLAUSE Taking your total up to 127.

0:17:500:17:53

Well done, Rory,

0:17:530:17:54

cos if you had gone for gigabyte, we would be in lockdown,

0:17:540:17:57

because "Generation" is the G.

0:17:570:17:59

And Generation would have scored you 30 points.

0:17:590:18:03

Now, the M for the Nobel Prize in Medicine was "magnetic".

0:18:030:18:07

That would have score 21.

0:18:070:18:09

And far and away the best answer on the board is this dwarf planet.

0:18:090:18:12

It's 27% bigger than Pluto

0:18:120:18:14

and it's Eris. 3 points. Very well done if you said that.

0:18:140:18:17

Thanks very much indeed, Richard. So, at the end of our first round,

0:18:170:18:20

the pair we've got to say goodbye to, I'm afraid, Ken and Lucy,

0:18:200:18:23

it is you. I'm so sorry.

0:18:230:18:25

We'll see you again next time. And I'm sure you'll go much further.

0:18:250:18:29

I'll say right now,

0:18:290:18:30

I think we're looking at a finalist pair here.

0:18:300:18:32

-Bless you.

-We'll look forward to that.

0:18:320:18:34

-Meantime, thanks very much. Ken and Lucy.

-Thank you.

-Thanks.

0:18:340:18:37

APPLAUSE

0:18:370:18:39

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

0:18:400:18:43

APPLAUSE

0:18:430:18:46

And look at that.

0:18:470:18:49

We're suddenly down to three pairs and at the end of this round,

0:18:490:18:52

we'll have to say goodbye to another pair. But well done.

0:18:520:18:54

We've made it through that science round.

0:18:540:18:56

Quite a lot of highbrow scientific knowledge there

0:18:560:18:59

amongst our three remaining pairs, so congratulations on that.

0:18:590:19:02

Best of luck to all three pairs. Our category for Round Two today is...

0:19:020:19:06

Pop music. Can you all decide in your pairs

0:19:070:19:09

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

0:19:090:19:12

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

0:19:120:19:14

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

0:19:170:19:20

We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name...

0:19:200:19:24

Artists who appeared in the top 40 biggest albums list of 2015.

0:19:300:19:35

We're looking for the name of any act or artist who released

0:19:350:19:37

one of the 40 best-selling albums of 2015 in the UK,

0:19:370:19:40

-according to officialcharts.com.

-Thank you very much indeed, Richard.

0:19:400:19:44

-So, Rory.

-Yeah, there's a lot of options, obviously.

0:19:440:19:49

-A lot of options.

-Yeah.

-Only 40 of them will be right though.

-OK.

0:19:490:19:52

LAUGHTER

0:19:520:19:54

-I think I'm going to go for Eminem.

-Eminem, says Rory.

-Yeah.

0:19:540:19:58

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

0:19:580:20:01

Oh!

0:20:040:20:05

-Not one of the 40, I'm afraid, Rory.

-Sorry, poppy.

0:20:070:20:09

-That scores you 100 points, sorry.

-Yeah, sorry, Rory,

0:20:090:20:12

he didn't have a big new album out in 2015, I'm afraid.

0:20:120:20:15

Thanks very much indeed. Now, Phil.

0:20:150:20:18

-That takes a bit of pressure off.

-It does a bit.

0:20:180:20:21

I'm going to play safe and say One Direction.

0:20:220:20:26

One Direction, says Phil. Let's see if that's right

0:20:260:20:28

and how many of our 100 people said One Direction.

0:20:280:20:31

It's right.

0:20:330:20:34

28, not bad for a safe answer, Phil!

0:20:390:20:41

APPLAUSE 28 for One Direction.

0:20:410:20:44

Made In The AM,

0:20:440:20:46

-the 14th biggest selling album of 2015.

-Good.

0:20:460:20:49

-Now, Linda.

-Yes, am I allowed to say Alexander Armstrong?

0:20:490:20:53

I'd be very flattered but I, I... Ah, that's nice of you.

0:20:530:20:58

Um, I'd be very surprised, but is that what you're going to say?

0:20:580:21:02

That's what I'm going to say.

0:21:020:21:04

That's a very expensive way of flattering me, but thank you.

0:21:040:21:07

LAUGHTER

0:21:070:21:09

Well, let's put that to the test. Alexander Armstrong. Is that right?

0:21:090:21:13

LAUGHTER

0:21:160:21:19

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:21:230:21:26

Oh, that's so exciting! That's a pointless answer.

0:21:260:21:30

That adds £250 to today's jackpot.

0:21:300:21:34

£2,250 is the total.

0:21:340:21:37

That has taken the wind out of my... I had no idea!

0:21:370:21:40

LAUGHTER

0:21:400:21:42

That scores you nothing and...

0:21:420:21:44

-I didn't know that!

-Yeah.

-Top 40?!

0:21:440:21:48

The 32nd biggest selling album of the year, you released.

0:21:480:21:52

-That's impressive.

-Linda, that paid off nicely,

0:21:520:21:54

-didn't it? Thank you very much.

-I nearly had a crisis of confidence

0:21:540:21:58

-when you didn't seem to know.

-I wouldn't have thought I was

0:21:580:22:00

-in the top...

-Don't they tell you?

-I'd have thought top 70, maybe.

0:22:000:22:04

-I tell you what, Eminem who?

-Yeah! LAUGHTER

0:22:040:22:07

-Marshall what?

-You know?

-Yeah. Very well done indeed.

0:22:070:22:11

That's absolutely superb. Um, yeah.

0:22:110:22:14

Whoa! Whoo! Yes! Oh, Lordy! LAUGHTER

0:22:140:22:19

We're about to head back up the line. Before we do that,

0:22:190:22:21

let's take a look at those scores.

0:22:210:22:23

Nothing was the best score there.

0:22:230:22:25

Very well answered there, Linda, if I might say.

0:22:250:22:28

Then up to 28, where we find Phil and Greg.

0:22:280:22:30

Then up to 100, Rory and Poppy.

0:22:300:22:32

So, Poppy, we need a low score. Best of luck with that.

0:22:320:22:35

Can the second players please step up to the podium?

0:22:350:22:38

OK, we are looking for any artist

0:22:410:22:43

who had one of 2015's top 40 best-selling albums.

0:22:430:22:48

Ian, we're looking for

0:22:480:22:50

the most obscure you can find. Your target, by the way,

0:22:500:22:54

is 99 or less.

0:22:540:22:55

I think I did see

0:22:550:22:57

an old-timer who had a classical remix album.

0:22:570:23:01

That was Elvis Presley.

0:23:010:23:03

Elvis Presley, says Ian. Elvis Presley.

0:23:030:23:06

Sounds like a good answer to me. There is your red line.

0:23:060:23:08

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

0:23:080:23:11

How many people said Elvis?

0:23:110:23:12

It's right.

0:23:140:23:16

Look at that! 2!

0:23:210:23:23

Very well played on the far podium there.

0:23:230:23:25

Taking your total up to 2.

0:23:250:23:27

-APPLAUSE

-Terrific stuff.

0:23:270:23:30

The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra did a lot of orchestral reworking

0:23:300:23:32

of Elvis's hits. The fourth biggest selling album of the year as well.

0:23:320:23:37

-Isn't that amazing?

-Very good. Thanks, Richard.

0:23:370:23:40

Now, Greg. There you are on 28.

0:23:400:23:42

The high-scorers still Poppy and Rory on 100,

0:23:420:23:44

so 71 or less gets you through.

0:23:440:23:47

Er, I don't really know much about pop music,

0:23:470:23:49

so I'm going to say something I think safe

0:23:490:23:51

-and I'm going to say Adele.

-Adele.

0:23:510:23:53

I think Adele and a wrong answer are almost going to score the same,

0:23:530:23:56

but we'll see. Let's find out. There is your red line.

0:23:560:23:59

Get below that with Adele, good luck to you.

0:23:590:24:02

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

0:24:020:24:05

It's right. Ooh, how wrong I am.

0:24:070:24:09

Look at that! 64 for Adele.

0:24:090:24:11

Good answer and, more importantly, good enough to get you through.

0:24:110:24:14

-92 is your total.

-Yeah, biggest selling album by a mile that.

0:24:140:24:18

-By a mile.

-Thanks very much indeed.

0:24:180:24:21

Now, Poppy, I'm sorry to say this but you are our high-scorers,

0:24:210:24:25

even before you've given your brilliant answer.

0:24:250:24:27

You've had time to come up with an absolute cracker.

0:24:270:24:30

Mm, well, I was going to say Alexander Armstrong

0:24:300:24:32

but as that's gone, um...

0:24:320:24:34

You can say it again if you like. LAUGHTER

0:24:340:24:37

Um, I'm not too sure this one's right, I can't remember the year,

0:24:370:24:40

but he's my favourite singer, so I'm going to say David Bowie.

0:24:400:24:44

David Bowie, says Poppy. David Bowie.

0:24:440:24:48

No red line for you as you're our high-scorers

0:24:480:24:50

even before we give the answer, but let's see.

0:24:500:24:52

David Bowie. Has Poppy got the right year? Let's find out.

0:24:520:24:55

Bad luck, Poppy,

0:24:580:25:00

but it was a good punt. Out in a blaze of glory.

0:25:000:25:02

-100, takes your total up to 200.

-Yeah, I'm sure he'll be on the list

0:25:020:25:06

for 2016 best-selling albums, but not 2015, I'm afraid.

0:25:060:25:08

Lots of pointless answers here, actually.

0:25:080:25:11

Let's take a look at some of them. We heard the first one already.

0:25:110:25:14

The wonderful Alexander Armstrong.

0:25:140:25:17

If you've not heard the album,

0:25:170:25:19

it's like kind of Frank Sinatra meets Kanye West.

0:25:190:25:24

-It's got that sort of vibe to it.

-I think that's about right, yes.

0:25:240:25:27

It is terrific stuff though.

0:25:270:25:28

Ella Henderson, Chapter One was 31st best-selling album of the year.

0:25:280:25:32

Fall Out Boy, American Beauty/ American Psycho.

0:25:320:25:35

Florence & The Machine, a wonderful album.

0:25:350:25:36

How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful.

0:25:360:25:38

Jeff Lynne's ELO did Alone In The Universe.

0:25:380:25:40

Mumford & Sons also on the list.

0:25:400:25:43

Muse had a hit with Drones. Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds,

0:25:430:25:46

and Paul Simon, his Ultimate Collection also on that list.

0:25:460:25:49

A couple of other pointless answers.

0:25:490:25:51

Gregory Porter and Catfish And The Bottlemen.

0:25:510:25:53

All those would have been pointless. Well done if you said any of those.

0:25:530:25:56

Take a look at the top three, ones most of our 100 people said.

0:25:560:25:58

We've heard the top two, actually, but Sam Smith is third with 24.

0:25:580:26:02

Thank you very much indeed, Richard.

0:26:040:26:06

So, at the end of our second round, the pair heading home

0:26:060:26:09

with their high score of 200, I'm afraid, Poppy and Rory, it is you.

0:26:090:26:12

But we will see you again next time.

0:26:120:26:14

Meantime, thanks very much for playing. Poppy and Rory.

0:26:140:26:16

APPLAUSE

0:26:160:26:20

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

0:26:200:26:22

APPLAUSE

0:26:220:26:25

Congratulations, Ian and Linda, Phil and Greg.

0:26:280:26:30

You are now one step closer to the final and a chance

0:26:300:26:32

to play for our jackpot, which currently stands at £2,250.

0:26:320:26:37

APPLAUSE

0:26:370:26:40

So, here we are in the head-to-head round,

0:26:400:26:42

which means you're now allowed to confer,

0:26:420:26:44

which is rather lovely and the first player to win two questions

0:26:440:26:47

will be playing for that jackpot. Best of luck to both pairs.

0:26:470:26:50

Let's play the head-to-head.

0:26:500:26:51

APPLAUSE

0:26:510:26:54

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

0:26:570:27:00

-Sporting Steves, Richard.

-We're going to show you five pictures

0:27:020:27:05

of famous Sporting Steves or Stephens.

0:27:050:27:08

Can you identify the most obscure?

0:27:080:27:10

OK, thanks, Richard. Let's reveal our five Steves and here they are.

0:27:100:27:13

We've got...

0:27:130:27:14

There we are. Five Sporting Steves or Stephens.

0:27:370:27:41

Ian and Linda, you're our low-scorers again,

0:27:410:27:43

so you will go first.

0:27:430:27:45

INDISTINCT DISCUSSION

0:27:450:27:48

Two of those I don't know.

0:27:520:27:54

Probably going to be the lowest scorers as well.

0:27:540:27:56

So, I'll say E is Stephen Hendry.

0:27:560:27:59

OK, E, Stephen Hendry, say Ian and Linda. Stephen Hendry.

0:27:590:28:02

Phil and Greg,

0:28:020:28:04

can you talk us through the other Steves on the board?

0:28:040:28:06

A is Steven Gerrard.

0:28:060:28:08

-Is it Steve Redgrave?

-Steve Redgrave is B.

0:28:080:28:12

I have no idea who D is.

0:28:120:28:14

-But C is...

-Steve Austin.

0:28:140:28:16

-Is that what you're going for?

-That's our final answer.

0:28:160:28:19

You're going for C, Steve Austin.

0:28:190:28:21

So, we have Stephen Hendry, we have Steve Austin.

0:28:210:28:23

Ian and Linda, Stephen Hendry. Let's see if that's right for E

0:28:230:28:25

and how many of our 100 people spotted Stephen Hendry.

0:28:250:28:27

It's right.

0:28:300:28:31

59 for Stephen Hendry.

0:28:330:28:36

APPLAUSE

0:28:360:28:38

Phil and Greg, meanwhile, have gone for Steve Austin for C.

0:28:380:28:42

Let's see if that's right

0:28:420:28:43

and how many of our 100 people said Steve Austin.

0:28:430:28:46

It's right.

0:28:480:28:50

And it wins the point, look at that.

0:28:510:28:53

19 for Steve Austin,

0:28:540:28:56

which means, Phil and Greg, after one question, you are up 1-0.

0:28:560:29:00

"Stone Cold" Steve Austin, the WWE champion.

0:29:000:29:03

There's an answer that would have beaten Steve Austin

0:29:030:29:06

and it's not one of the ones you've given us already.

0:29:060:29:09

Pretty low score, 38. I think it's the photo, maybe.

0:29:160:29:18

You don't quite see it's him on first look.

0:29:180:29:20

But the best answer is the US golfer Steve Stricker.

0:29:200:29:23

Well done if you said that. 1 point, a terrific answer.

0:29:230:29:26

There we are. Thank you very much, Richard.

0:29:260:29:28

Now then, Ian and Linda, this can't happen a second time.

0:29:280:29:31

-I think it can.

-You have to steal this one back.

0:29:310:29:34

You have to win this one. But Phil and Greg get to answer first,

0:29:340:29:37

so best of luck. Our second question today is all about...

0:29:370:29:40

European capitals, Richard.

0:29:420:29:44

Going to show you the names of five European capitals now

0:29:440:29:46

but in the form of anagrams.

0:29:460:29:48

Can you unscramble them and give us the most obscure answer?

0:29:480:29:51

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

0:29:510:29:54

I'll read those again.

0:30:020:30:04

There we go. Phil and Greg will go first.

0:30:090:30:11

INDISTINCT DISCUSSION

0:30:110:30:14

We're going to go for the fourth one. Valletta.

0:30:220:30:25

Valletta, say Phil and Greg. Valletta.

0:30:250:30:28

Now then, Ian and Linda, do you fancy talking us through the others?

0:30:280:30:32

No, um, but we've got one answer and it's the third one down

0:30:320:30:36

and we think it's Podgorica.

0:30:360:30:39

-I don't think I'm pronouncing that right, but...

-Podgorica.

-Podgorica.

0:30:390:30:43

Podgorica. So we have Valletta and we have Podgorica.

0:30:430:30:47

Now then, Phil and Greg went for Valletta.

0:30:470:30:50

Let's see if that's right and how many people got Valletta.

0:30:500:30:52

It's right.

0:30:550:30:57

Good answer. 30 for Valletta.

0:31:000:31:02

APPLAUSE

0:31:020:31:05

Now then, Ian and Linda have gone for Podgorica.

0:31:060:31:09

You have to win this one to stay in the game.

0:31:090:31:11

It would be very exciting if this is right and wins you the point.

0:31:110:31:14

Podgorica, is that right, and if it is, how many people said it?

0:31:140:31:17

It is right.

0:31:190:31:21

Podgorica.

0:31:210:31:23

And it's won you back.

0:31:240:31:26

Ooh, down to 3. That's a great answer.

0:31:260:31:28

Very, very well done indeed. Ian and Linda, you're back in the game.

0:31:280:31:33

Ah, this is perfect drama. After two questions, it's 1-1.

0:31:330:31:37

Great answer, yes. Podgorica, you've said it exactly as it's spelt.

0:31:370:31:40

Capital of Montenegro. Very, very good answer.

0:31:400:31:43

Actually, those are the best two answers up there. Less Rubs?

0:31:430:31:46

-Brussels.

-Brussels.

0:31:460:31:47

-Moth Locks?

-Stockholm.

-Stockholm.

0:31:480:31:51

-And Bun Lid?

-Dublin.

-Dublin.

0:31:520:31:54

Thank you very much indeed. This is very exciting.

0:31:560:31:58

It comes down to the third question. This is the decider.

0:31:580:32:01

Whoever wins this goes through to the final

0:32:010:32:02

and plays for that jackpot, so best of luck to both pairs.

0:32:020:32:05

Our third question today is all about...

0:32:050:32:08

Charles I, Richard.

0:32:100:32:12

Yeah, five clues to facts about the British monarch Charles I.

0:32:120:32:15

Whichever team gives us the most obscure answer is

0:32:150:32:17

going through to play for that jackpot.

0:32:170:32:19

ALEXANDER GASPS OK, thank you very much.

0:32:190:32:21

Let's reveal our five clues and here they come. We've got...

0:32:210:32:24

I shall read those all one last time.

0:32:400:32:42

There we are. Ian and Linda will go first.

0:32:560:32:58

Do you know any apart from the second one

0:32:580:33:01

cos that's all I know?

0:33:010:33:03

INDISTINCT DISCUSSION

0:33:030:33:06

We're going to go for the second one down and we'll say Stuart.

0:33:060:33:10

Stuart, say Ian and Linda. Stuart. Now then, Phil and Greg,

0:33:100:33:13

talk us through that board as much as you can.

0:33:130:33:16

The century in which he ruled was the 17th century.

0:33:160:33:21

I think the island's got to be the Isle of Wight.

0:33:210:33:24

No idea what the London street is,

0:33:240:33:26

but we'll go for the 17th century.

0:33:260:33:30

The 17th century, say Phil and Greg.

0:33:300:33:33

So, we have the Stuarts and we have the 17th century.

0:33:330:33:36

And Linda said the Stuarts, the royal house to which he belonged.

0:33:360:33:38

Let's see if that's right and how many people said the Stuarts.

0:33:380:33:41

It's right.

0:33:440:33:45

41. APPLAUSE

0:33:480:33:52

41 for the Stuarts.

0:33:530:33:55

Now then, Phil and Greg have gone for the 17th century.

0:33:550:33:57

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

0:33:570:34:00

It is right.

0:34:020:34:04

It's going to be close. Look at that!

0:34:060:34:08

31 for the 17th century.

0:34:080:34:11

APPLAUSE Phil and Greg, you have done it.

0:34:110:34:13

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

0:34:130:34:16

Very well played. 1625 to 1649, Charles I.

0:34:160:34:19

The French princess was Henrietta Maria. Maryland was named after her.

0:34:190:34:25

10 points for that. The mother of Charles II and James II as well.

0:34:250:34:29

And he escaped from Hampton Court to the island of Isle of Wight.

0:34:290:34:34

And the London street? This is the best answer on the board.

0:34:350:34:38

-Whitehall.

-It was Whitehall, yeah. Well done if you said that.

0:34:380:34:42

Thank you very much indeed.

0:34:420:34:44

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

0:34:440:34:46

I'm afraid, Ian and Linda, I'm so sorry.

0:34:460:34:48

Twice you've been our low-scoring pair in this head-to-head round

0:34:480:34:51

and I'm sorry that you go home without a sniff of a trophy.

0:34:510:34:54

It seems very unfair, particularly when you've given the best answer

0:34:540:34:58

in the history of the game. But it's been lovely having you on.

0:34:580:35:01

Thank you so much for playing. Ian and Linda, very well done indeed.

0:35:010:35:03

APPLAUSE

0:35:030:35:07

But for Phil and Greg, it's now time for our Pointless final.

0:35:070:35:09

APPLAUSE

0:35:090:35:13

Congratulations, Phil and Greg, you have fought off the competition

0:35:130:35:17

and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.

0:35:170:35:19

You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot

0:35:250:35:28

and at the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £2,250.

0:35:280:35:32

There we are. APPLAUSE

0:35:320:35:35

Well, I think you've made good account of yourselves.

0:35:350:35:38

Your first appearance on Pointless, straight through to the final.

0:35:380:35:41

Anything you particularly want to see come up in this last round?

0:35:410:35:44

-Er, Super Bowl winners would be good for me.

-Phil?

0:35:440:35:48

-Things about the Grand National.

-OK, very best of luck.

0:35:480:35:51

You get to choose your category from the four we throw up on the board.

0:35:510:35:54

Let's see what today's selection looks like. We've got...

0:35:540:35:58

Definitely not the top...

0:36:070:36:09

-three.

-LAUGHTER

0:36:090:36:12

-So, Horses.

-That sounds like it fell very nicely for you, Phil.

0:36:120:36:15

-OK, Horses it is. Richard.

-OK, three different questions here.

0:36:150:36:19

Best of luck. We are looking for the name of any overall winner

0:36:190:36:22

of the Burghley Horse Trials Three Day Event since it began

0:36:220:36:24

in 1961 all the way up to 2015.

0:36:240:36:27

We are looking for the name of anyone who won a medal

0:36:270:36:29

at the 2012 Summer Olympics for Team GB in an equestrian event, please.

0:36:290:36:33

It can be in a team or as an individual.

0:36:330:36:35

Or we're looking for any 21st century Grand National winner.

0:36:350:36:39

-LAUGHTER

-So, Grand National winner

0:36:390:36:41

from 2000 to 2015.

0:36:410:36:43

So, Burghley Horse Trials, equestrian medallists

0:36:430:36:46

and Grand National winners, 2000 to 2015.

0:36:460:36:49

There we go. As always, you've got up to a minute

0:36:490:36:52

to come up with three answers. All you need to win that jackpot

0:36:520:36:54

is for one of those answers to be pointless.

0:36:540:36:56

-Are you ready?

-Yeah.

0:36:560:36:58

Let's put 60 seconds on the clock.

0:36:580:37:00

Your time starts now.

0:37:000:37:02

You've got Monty's Pass.

0:37:020:37:04

-I know Ballabriggs.

-Ballabriggs.

0:37:040:37:06

-But if you know it and I know it...

-Yeah.

0:37:060:37:08

Pineau De Re was a couple of years ago

0:37:080:37:10

but it's not a name

0:37:100:37:12

that people remember.

0:37:120:37:13

But the one I'm thinking, Red Marauder,

0:37:130:37:16

cos only four finished.

0:37:160:37:17

It was a really big prize.

0:37:170:37:20

And there was Mon Mome.

0:37:200:37:22

It was 100 to 1.

0:37:220:37:23

But I think, cos it was 100 to 1, people will remember that.

0:37:230:37:26

This is your category, so...

0:37:260:37:28

-Er, so I'd say Red Marauder.

-Yeah.

0:37:280:37:31

Er...

0:37:330:37:35

-Pineau De Re.

-Yeah.

0:37:350:37:37

And... Who do you think? Monty's Pass or...?

0:37:370:37:41

-Monty's Pass, probably.

-Er...

0:37:410:37:43

Ballabriggs.

0:37:450:37:47

Is Hedgehunter 21st century?

0:37:470:37:49

-I think it was.

-Ten seconds left.

0:37:490:37:52

I'd go for the three you know for definite.

0:37:530:37:56

Er... OK.

0:37:570:38:00

OK, that's your time up. Let's have your three answers.

0:38:010:38:03

What would you like to go for?

0:38:030:38:05

-From the 21st century Grand National winners.

-Splendid.

0:38:050:38:08

-I'm going to say Red Marauder.

-Red Marauder.

0:38:080:38:11

-Pineau De Re.

-Pineau De Re.

0:38:110:38:14

-And Numbersixvalverde.

-Numbersixvalverde.

0:38:140:38:19

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

0:38:190:38:22

-I think Red Marauder.

-Red Marauder goes last. Least likely?

0:38:220:38:25

Cos I'm not sure it's the correct name, Numbersixvalverde.

0:38:250:38:30

Numbersixvalverde.

0:38:300:38:31

OK, let's pop those answers up in that order, and here they are.

0:38:310:38:34

We have got...

0:38:340:38:36

Very, very best of luck. Three fantastic answers up there.

0:38:410:38:44

Surely one of those will bring that jackpot home for you.

0:38:440:38:47

Let's keep our fingers crossed.

0:38:470:38:49

If that's what were to happen, £2,250,

0:38:490:38:52

what would you do with that, Phil?

0:38:520:38:54

Well, I've been saying to my wife we'd go to New York

0:38:540:38:59

for about ten years and we've never got there, so...

0:38:590:39:04

-Time to put your money where your mouth is, Phil.

-Yeah.

0:39:040:39:06

Greg, what about you?

0:39:060:39:08

Me and my friends all want to go on holiday in the summer

0:39:080:39:10

and that will get me to...will pay for it all, really.

0:39:100:39:14

OK, very best of luck. In the case of all three of these,

0:39:140:39:17

we were looking for 21st century Grand National winners.

0:39:170:39:20

Your first answer was Numbersixvalverde.

0:39:200:39:23

Let's find out if it's right, then let's find out if it's pointless.

0:39:230:39:26

If it's both of those things, you leave here with £2,250.

0:39:260:39:29

Let's see how many people said Numbersixvalverde.

0:39:290:39:31

It's right.

0:39:340:39:36

You weren't entirely sure

0:39:360:39:37

if this was going to be in the right timeframe but it absolutely is.

0:39:370:39:40

Numbersixvalverde takes us down through the 20s into the teens.

0:39:400:39:43

Into single figures. Still going down. Down it goes...

0:39:430:39:46

You've done it! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:39:460:39:48

Well done, very well done indeed! Fantastic!

0:39:480:39:51

Very impressive.

0:39:510:39:53

Well, that was impressive!

0:39:570:39:59

Almost effortless, I would say, there, but many congratulations.

0:39:590:40:03

Numbersixvalverde was a pointless answer,

0:40:030:40:05

which means you go home with that jackpot of £2,250.

0:40:050:40:08

Very well done indeed, Phil and Greg.

0:40:080:40:11

APPLAUSE

0:40:110:40:13

Pointless answers come in different ways.

0:40:150:40:17

Often, someone has to go right to the back of their mind

0:40:170:40:19

to pull out one fact they know about something.

0:40:190:40:21

And sometimes, the perfect category comes up.

0:40:210:40:23

And when it does, usually in sport,

0:40:230:40:25

there are pointless answers everywhere.

0:40:250:40:27

It won't surprise you to know all three answers are pointless

0:40:270:40:29

so very, very well done.

0:40:290:40:31

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:40:310:40:34

And there were plenty more too. Anyone who knows their horse racing

0:40:360:40:39

would have got three pointless answers there.

0:40:390:40:41

We'll look at the answers from the different categories

0:40:410:40:43

in case you're answering different ones at home.

0:40:430:40:45

We'll start with Burghley Horse Trials.

0:40:450:40:47

Everyone pointless there, apart from Princess Anne, Lucinda Green,

0:40:510:40:54

Mary King, Richard Meade and Mark Todd.

0:40:540:40:56

The Team GB equestrian medallists.

0:40:560:40:58

Quite a lot of pointless answers here as well.

0:40:580:41:00

You could have had Carl Hester, Nicola Wilson,

0:41:040:41:06

Peter Charles or Scott Brash. They were all pointless answers.

0:41:060:41:09

Now let's look at these Grand National winners.

0:41:090:41:11

You could have been going a long time and still not have run out.

0:41:110:41:14

Also, Auroras Encore was a pointless answer,

0:41:190:41:21

Don't Push It, Monty's Pass

0:41:210:41:23

and the other two that you gave us, Pineau De Re and Red Marauder.

0:41:230:41:26

-Terrific work. Very well played.

-Fantastic.

0:41:260:41:29

Well, thanks once again to our winning players,

0:41:290:41:31

Phil and Greg, who go away with today's jackpot of £2,250.

0:41:310:41:35

Very well done indeed. APPLAUSE

0:41:350:41:37

Join us next time, when we'll put more obscure knowledge to the test!

0:41:370:41:40

-Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.

-Goodbye.

0:41:400:41:43

And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.

0:41:430:41:45

APPLAUSE
