APPLAUSE

0:00:150:00:17

Thank you very much indeed.

0:00:210:00:23

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

0:00:230:00:25

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

0:00:250:00:28

Let's meet today's players.

0:00:280:00:30

And couple number one.

0:00:330:00:35

Hello, my name is Al and this is my wife Kitty

0:00:350:00:37

-and we're from Southampton.

-Couple number two.

0:00:370:00:39

Hi, I'm Millsy from London and this is my friend Catherine from

0:00:390:00:43

-Stockton-on-Tees.

-Couple number three.

0:00:430:00:45

Hi, I'm Eileen and this is my daughter Martina and we're

0:00:450:00:48

-from London.

-And finally couple number four.

0:00:480:00:51

Hi, I'm Bob and this is my civil partner Graham and we're from

0:00:510:00:54

Newmilns in East Ayrshire, Scotland.

0:00:540:00:56

And these are today's contestants.

0:00:560:00:58

Thanks very much, all of you,

0:01:000:01:01

we'll get to chat to you a little bit more throughout the show

0:01:010:01:04

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

0:01:040:01:07

If ignorance is the disease, then he is the cure. To be taken once daily.

0:01:070:01:11

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

0:01:110:01:15

Hiya. Hey, everybody.

0:01:150:01:16

Good afternoon, good afternoon, good afternoon.

0:01:160:01:19

Also, you must not operate heavy machinery after using me.

0:01:190:01:23

-That's the other thing.

-Yes.

-Because you will feel...

0:01:230:01:25

-I think a lot of people after this show tend to feel drowsy.

-Yeah!

0:01:250:01:28

ALEXANDER LAUGHS

0:01:280:01:29

I think I take some of the blame for that, Richard, I think, really.

0:01:290:01:32

Two returning pairs are on podiums three and four, we welcome you back.

0:01:320:01:35

Two new pairs, I don't think Millsy is Millsy's real name which we'll discover, that's just...

0:01:350:01:39

I have a detective's nose for that sort of thing.

0:01:390:01:41

Round One is not going to meet with universal approval.

0:01:410:01:45

-OK.

-I tell you right now.

0:01:450:01:47

It's Miss Marple's nose, I see now.

0:01:470:01:49

LAUGHTER

0:01:490:01:51

It is very similar, isn't it, yeah?

0:01:510:01:52

-It is.

-Very much like the late Joan Hickson.

0:01:520:01:54

LAUGHTER Thank you very much, Richard.

0:01:540:01:57

Now, Gareth and David didn't win the jackpot last time.

0:01:570:01:59

This is exciting, which means we add another £1,000 to that,

0:01:590:02:02

so today's jackpot starts off at £3,000. There we are.

0:02:020:02:06

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

0:02:090:02:12

Just remember this,

0:02:170:02:18

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

0:02:180:02:22

eliminated and there's no conferring until we get to the head-to-head.

0:02:220:02:25

Other than that, very best of luck to all four pairs,

0:02:250:02:27

Our first category today is...

0:02:270:02:30

It's a football round. Can you all decide in your pairs who is going to go first,

0:02:320:02:35

who's going to go second?

0:02:350:02:37

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

0:02:370:02:40

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

0:02:430:02:46

We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...

0:02:460:02:51

..as they could. Richard.

0:02:550:02:58

Yeah, we haven't done football for ages so bad timing if it's not for you.

0:02:580:03:01

We're looking for any of the 32 teams who qualified for

0:03:010:03:04

the group stages of the 2015/2016 UEFA Champions League, please.

0:03:040:03:08

Thanks very much indeed. Now, Kitty, welcome to Pointless.

0:03:080:03:11

Great to have you here from Southampton.

0:03:110:03:13

What keeps you busy in Southampton, Kitty?

0:03:130:03:15

Well, I work at the University of Southampton in the design

0:03:150:03:18

-and print department so...

-Oh, now, that's fun.

-Well...

0:03:180:03:22

So you're designing and printing what particularly?

0:03:220:03:25

Well, it's a mixture of things for the university, so course brochures,

0:03:250:03:28

but we also do work for external customers as well,

0:03:280:03:30

so, local NHS trusts and county councils and things like that.

0:03:300:03:34

Oh, I see. And your interests outside that, Kitty, what are they?

0:03:340:03:36

Well, I like going on holiday and travelling

0:03:360:03:39

so I basically would want to spend most of my time doing that.

0:03:390:03:43

-It's quite an expensive pursuit, though.

-It is.

0:03:430:03:47

So, I have to console myself with just day trips and things

0:03:470:03:51

like that and I've recently got a DSLR camera

0:03:510:03:55

so I'm trying to teach myself how to use that.

0:03:550:03:58

Very good, very good indeed. Now, how do we feel about football?

0:03:580:04:01

I'm going to be honest, it's not probably one of my strongest

0:04:010:04:03

-subjects which is why I've decided go first.

-OK.

0:04:030:04:07

What are you thinking of going for? In fact, what are you going for?

0:04:070:04:11

I am going to go with one I'm fairly confident with

0:04:110:04:15

and say Paris Saint-Germain.

0:04:150:04:18

Paris Saint-Germain says Kitty, let's see if that's right,

0:04:180:04:21

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

0:04:210:04:23

It's right. Good answer, Kitty.

0:04:250:04:27

It's a good score, too, look at that.

0:04:300:04:32

Down it goes to 18. Wonderful start to the show. Bravo, Kitty.

0:04:320:04:36

Yes, Paris Saint-Germain, it's quite difficult for

0:04:360:04:38

me to give facts on this because the facts are usually the other

0:04:380:04:41

teams that they played against, all of which are answers as well.

0:04:410:04:44

But Paris Saint-Germain is a football team based in Paris

0:04:440:04:47

in France.

0:04:470:04:49

-Thank you.

-Pleasure.

-Millsy.

-Hello.

0:04:510:04:54

Now, let's just settle this once and for all for the detective on

0:04:540:04:58

my left. That's not your given name.

0:04:580:05:01

-It's not on my birth certificate, no.

-How did you know that?

0:05:010:05:05

-It's just... Something.

-Clever.

0:05:050:05:08

Where did it come from?

0:05:080:05:10

-Is your surname Miller?

-No, Mills.

-Mills!

0:05:100:05:13

-So, "Millsy".

-Yeah.

-Very good. Now, what do you do, Millsy?

0:05:130:05:17

-I'm an HR director for a content marketing agency.

-Content marketing?

0:05:170:05:22

Yes.

0:05:220:05:23

-What is that?

-It's journalism, really.

-I see.

0:05:230:05:28

Magazines but most of it online.

0:05:280:05:31

-I see. Fine, you enjoy it?

-Yes, I do, yeah.

-Good.

0:05:310:05:34

And what do you like doing when you're not doing that, Millsy?

0:05:340:05:37

Well, I'm kept quite busy with my two boys at home

0:05:370:05:40

so my son is four and my husband is 45.

0:05:400:05:43

LAUGHTER

0:05:430:05:45

-Right, I see what you mean. What's your son aged four called?

-Edward.

0:05:450:05:48

-Hello, Edward.

-Oh, he'll love that!

0:05:480:05:51

Very good indeed.

0:05:510:05:53

Now, Millsy, football, how are we feeling about football?

0:05:530:05:56

Oh, terrible, really terrible.

0:05:560:05:57

I've got one answer, I think. Real Madrid.

0:05:570:06:01

Real Madrid? Only need one answer.

0:06:010:06:04

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

0:06:040:06:07

It's right.

0:06:100:06:11

Well, 18 is what we have from Paris Saint-Germain...

0:06:110:06:14

53 for Real Madrid.

0:06:140:06:16

-Well played, Millsy. Millsy, of course, is like a footballer's name essentially.

-Oh, is it?

0:06:180:06:22

Yeah, that's what they'd be called. Real Madrid,

0:06:220:06:25

-they are a football team from Madrid...

-Ah.

0:06:250:06:26

LAUGHTER

0:06:260:06:28

..which is in Spain,

0:06:280:06:29

which is right next to France, which, as you remember

0:06:290:06:32

is where Paris Saint-Germain... Well, they're from Paris.

0:06:320:06:35

They should get together and play.

0:06:350:06:37

Well, people have thought that before.

0:06:370:06:40

Eileen, welcome back.

0:06:420:06:43

Eileen, remind us what you like getting up to?

0:06:430:06:46

I've got lots of hobbies.

0:06:460:06:47

I'm retired now but I cook a lot, do gardening, knitting,

0:06:470:06:51

looking after my grandchild...

0:06:510:06:52

Do you cook things you grow in the garden?

0:06:520:06:55

Some of them, not all of them are edible but a lot of them might be.

0:06:550:07:01

Some riddled with worms but,

0:07:010:07:02

it's quite nice to grow one's own fruit and veg.

0:07:020:07:07

Well, it is!

0:07:070:07:08

What sort of veg do you grow?

0:07:080:07:09

Well, I'm assuming you are a veg gardener among other things.

0:07:090:07:13

Flowers are my favourite things but I feel that I need to

0:07:130:07:16

start cooking...

0:07:160:07:18

planting more veg, so I've done potatoes, carrots, easy stuff.

0:07:180:07:23

-Potatoes? See, that's nice. And that's OK.

-Easy stuff.

-Courgettes?

0:07:230:07:27

Courgettes, peppers, I like planting peppers, green beans...

0:07:270:07:32

-I've just planted some chillies, I've got five chilli plants.

-Wow!

0:07:320:07:37

Can you give one to me, please, Alexander?

0:07:370:07:40

They're still seedlings at this stage but, they are coming on apace.

0:07:400:07:43

It's very exciting. Now, Eileen, what would you like to go for?

0:07:430:07:46

You're going to have to have a punt at something.

0:07:460:07:49

I bet she has a really good answer. That's always the way.

0:07:490:07:52

Sorry, Martina, Barcelona.

0:07:520:07:55

Barcelona says Eileen, let's see how many of 100 people said Barcelona.

0:07:550:08:00

It's right.

0:08:020:08:04

53 is our highest score,

0:08:040:08:05

62 is our new high score.

0:08:050:08:07

There we are, Barcelona, very well done, Eileen.

0:08:070:08:10

Nothing wrong with that.

0:08:100:08:12

And again, like the previous two answers, a football team.

0:08:120:08:15

This time from Barcelona in Spain. That's where they're based.

0:08:150:08:19

Which is the same place that Real Madrid were from, Madrid in Spain.

0:08:190:08:24

-Fascinating.

-There it is.

0:08:240:08:27

-Now, Graham, welcome back.

-Thank you.

-Lovely to have you.

0:08:270:08:30

Now, last time, we had to say goodbye to you at the end of the first round.

0:08:300:08:33

That is not going to happen this time.

0:08:330:08:36

-Remind us what you do, Graham.

-I'm actually retired.

0:08:360:08:39

I was an IT manager for 32 years

0:08:390:08:43

with the same company.

0:08:430:08:44

What keeps you busy now, what do you like getting up to?

0:08:440:08:48

I like gardening, I also do soft furnishings, so cushions,

0:08:480:08:54

-curtains and headboards.

-That's clever.

0:08:540:08:57

I mean, what, you have a workshop and you just...

0:08:570:09:00

No, I had a sewing machine for my birthday off Bob and I like

0:09:000:09:05

just changing the colours around a bit.

0:09:050:09:07

-I mean, had you got experience with a sewing machine before?

-No.

0:09:070:09:10

How long have you had it for?

0:09:100:09:13

Just about a year. My first attempt was a zip.

0:09:130:09:16

Very good, indeed. Now, Graham, football.

0:09:160:09:20

Football team that took part in the 15/16 Champions League.

0:09:200:09:24

I'm sort of debating a couple.

0:09:240:09:29

But I think the one that I'll go for is Olympiacos.

0:09:290:09:33

Olympiacos says Graham, let's see if that's right,

0:09:330:09:36

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

0:09:360:09:39

It's right. Well, 62 is our high score, you've passed that.

0:09:400:09:44

18 is our low score, you passed that.

0:09:440:09:47

Olympiacos scores you 3.

0:09:470:09:49

That's the way to do it, Graham, very well done indeed.

0:09:500:09:53

That's a great answer, Graham, very well played.

0:09:540:09:56

They are a football team as well.

0:09:560:09:58

They are a Greek football team from the city of Olympiacos.

0:09:580:10:01

Thank you very much, Richard. Well, we're halfway through the round,

0:10:020:10:05

let's take a look at those scores.

0:10:050:10:07

3, the best score of that pass by a margin.

0:10:070:10:09

Look at that, Graham, very well done.

0:10:090:10:11

I would say Graham and Bob looking like

0:10:110:10:12

a shoe-in for Round Two at this stage.

0:10:120:10:15

Then, 18 is where we find Kitty and Al,

0:10:150:10:18

53 is where we find Millsy and Catherine and then, 62,

0:10:180:10:21

Eileen and Martina, you're out in front but not by too much and,

0:10:210:10:24

Martina, a nice low score from you should keep you in the

0:10:240:10:26

game so good luck with that.

0:10:260:10:27

We're going to come back down the line, can the second player please step up to the podium?

0:10:270:10:31

-Bob. Welcome back.

-Thank you.

0:10:340:10:36

Remind us what you do up in East Ayrshire.

0:10:360:10:39

I'm retired and I enjoyed taking photographs and doing videography.

0:10:390:10:44

I see. What sort of photographs do you generally take?

0:10:440:10:47

Are you a landscape photographer?

0:10:470:10:48

Landscapes, really, yeah,

0:10:480:10:50

-and travelogues, I like to do.

-That's fun.

0:10:500:10:53

And what do you do with the travelogues?

0:10:530:10:55

Is this like the modern-day version of the slide show

0:10:550:10:58

-that we grew up with?

-Yes, yes. I can put them on a streaming website.

0:10:580:11:03

That's good. And do you do a voice-over for them as well?

0:11:030:11:06

Not usually, no, I just tend to use the original sound that's

0:11:060:11:11

recorded with the video or sometimes there's some music to it.

0:11:110:11:16

Very nice, very nice indeed. Now, there you are,

0:11:160:11:18

Graham has set you up absolutely beautifully with 3 points

0:11:180:11:22

there against our high-scorers Martina and Eileen of 62,

0:11:220:11:26

so 58 or less gets you comfortably through.

0:11:260:11:28

Not a good one for me but I'd say Manchester City.

0:11:280:11:32

Manchester City, says Bob, let's see how many of our 100 people said that. There's your red line,

0:11:320:11:36

let's see how far down you get with Manchester City.

0:11:360:11:39

It's right.

0:11:420:11:43

And you just get through. Look at that.

0:11:430:11:46

You needed 58 you got 57.

0:11:460:11:49

That is economy. Takes your total up to 60.

0:11:490:11:53

I can actually say that they beat Paris Saint-Germain.

0:11:530:11:56

Oh, it's all getting easier now.

0:11:560:11:57

A little bit easier, isn't it? A little bit more relaxing.

0:11:570:12:00

Oh, it's tough, I know, for you because you have got facts galore!

0:12:000:12:05

Oh, goodness me. I could be talking

0:12:050:12:07

for hours about Olympiacos if you let me.

0:12:070:12:10

I really could.

0:12:100:12:11

Thanks very much indeed. Now, Martina, welcome back.

0:12:130:12:15

Now, remind us what you do.

0:12:150:12:17

I work in social housing, I'm a village manager.

0:12:170:12:21

-A village manager?

-Yes.

0:12:210:12:22

That sounds nice.

0:12:220:12:24

A village manager, when they say that, what does that mean?

0:12:240:12:26

You're in charge? What sizes of village?

0:12:260:12:28

So, my current village is about 700 properties, although

0:12:280:12:31

I have moved around the area that I work within, an area in London,

0:12:310:12:35

so I've managed up to 1,600 properties at one time with my team.

0:12:350:12:38

Cor, that's a lot.

0:12:380:12:40

Martina, your interests when you're not managing properties?

0:12:400:12:43

OK, so I look after my daughter at home as well and my mother

0:12:430:12:48

gives me a hand with the childcare which is great,

0:12:480:12:51

I like going out to nice restaurants in London,

0:12:510:12:55

I also go to musical theatre productions also,

0:12:550:12:59

and when I get the time, reading.

0:12:590:13:02

Very good indeed. Football on that list at all?

0:13:020:13:05

-Football is probably my worst subject ever.

-Right, OK.

0:13:050:13:09

And I know lots of people at home, my family members are going

0:13:090:13:12

to be shouting at me but I'm going to go with West Ham.

0:13:120:13:15

West Ham says Martina.

0:13:150:13:17

Let's find out. West Ham.

0:13:170:13:19

Is it right? How many people said West Ham?

0:13:190:13:23

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

0:13:230:13:25

-Oh, sorry, Mum. I had to risk it.

-I'm sorry, Martina.

0:13:270:13:30

I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer, scores you 100 points,

0:13:300:13:33

takes your total up to 162.

0:13:330:13:35

Yeah, sorry, Martina, not a bad guess at all, I mean,

0:13:350:13:37

a few years ago, you wouldn't have thought of West Ham United being in

0:13:370:13:40

the Champions League but these days, a much more realistic proposition.

0:13:400:13:44

Thanks very much indeed, Richard. Now then, Catherine.

0:13:440:13:47

A warm welcome to Pointless.

0:13:470:13:49

Good to have you here, and what you do, Catherine?

0:13:490:13:52

-I'm a commercial lawyer for a high-street retailer.

-I see.

0:13:520:13:56

And is that based in London?

0:13:560:13:58

-Well, it's a national chain, so there are stores nationally.

-Everywhere.

0:13:580:14:03

And what are your interests, Catherine?

0:14:030:14:04

Well, I love being in the great outdoors so we go walking

0:14:040:14:08

in the Lakes twice a year and I enjoy horse riding and

0:14:080:14:12

I try to spend as much time as possible with my daughter

0:14:120:14:15

-who's just turned three.

-Lovely, what's your daughter called?

-Flora.

0:14:150:14:18

-Flora. She'll be watching, I assume?

-Absolutely.

0:14:180:14:21

-Well, depends how you do.

-No, I think she will.

-She will, OK.

0:14:210:14:25

There we are.

0:14:250:14:26

Now, there you are, you're on 53, it doesn't matter what you score, you

0:14:260:14:29

will be through to the next round even if you get this wrong.

0:14:290:14:32

That's amazing. Because this isn't a strong subject at all for me.

0:14:320:14:36

I'm struggling. I'm just going to say Chelsea.

0:14:360:14:39

Chelsea says Catherine, let's see if that's right,

0:14:390:14:42

let's see how many about 100 people said it.

0:14:420:14:44

No red line for the nice reason that you're already through.

0:14:440:14:47

Chelsea is right.

0:14:480:14:50

74 is what you score,

0:14:500:14:53

takes your total up to 127.

0:14:530:14:56

Yeah, back in the good old days when Chelsea used to be in

0:14:560:14:59

-the Champions League.

-ALEXANDER SIGHS

0:14:590:15:02

Sepia-tinted days of yore.

0:15:030:15:05

ALEXANDER LAUGHS

0:15:050:15:06

Thanks very much indeed, Richard.

0:15:060:15:08

Now, Al, welcome to Pointless.

0:15:080:15:11

Good to have you here from Southampton.

0:15:110:15:13

What do you do, Al?

0:15:130:15:14

I'm team leader in a sales department for an insurance company.

0:15:140:15:17

Very good. What are your interests, Al?

0:15:170:15:19

I like softball.

0:15:190:15:21

I play softball regularly.

0:15:210:15:23

And also do a podcast every week.

0:15:230:15:26

Oh, do you? What's your podcast called?

0:15:260:15:27

It's called the Dead Piett Society.

0:15:270:15:30

Why's that?

0:15:300:15:31

It's a mashup of names from Dead Poets Society,

0:15:310:15:34

but also Admiral Piett was a very minor character in

0:15:340:15:37

the original Star Wars films.

0:15:370:15:39

Oh, I see. So is it a sort of sci-fi-based podcast?

0:15:390:15:42

No, it's kind of we look at the weirdest news stories

0:15:420:15:45

-from that week.

-Oh, right.

0:15:450:15:47

And what sort of listenership do you have?

0:15:470:15:49

-Not many.

-LAUGHTER

0:15:490:15:50

-But still - fun?

-Fun.

0:15:500:15:53

Maybe you'll get some more now, the Dead Piett Society.

0:15:530:15:55

Anyway, also, you are through to the next round, even if you score 100,

0:15:550:15:58

which might be a relief for you, or might not.

0:15:580:16:00

I don't know, maybe you've got a good answer there.

0:16:000:16:02

I'm going to...

0:16:020:16:04

basically just going to try and beat Kitty's score now.

0:16:040:16:06

SHE GASPS

0:16:060:16:07

I'm going to say Genk.

0:16:070:16:09

Now, there's no call for that. LAUGHTER

0:16:110:16:13

-You're going to say Genk?

-Yes.

0:16:130:16:15

Genk?

0:16:150:16:17

And so am I - Genk. LAUGHTER

0:16:170:16:19

-Ooh.

-KITTY LAUGHS

0:16:230:16:25

See, that's what happens when you say Genk -

0:16:250:16:27

scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 118.

0:16:270:16:30

-RICHARD:

-Gent would have scored you 2 points.

-Of course.

0:16:300:16:33

Gent. There is a Genk as well, but it's a different club.

0:16:330:16:37

As soon as you said Genk, I thought, "Yeah, absolutely,"

0:16:370:16:39

but there's two different sides.

0:16:390:16:41

A few pointless answers here.

0:16:410:16:43

You would have got a pointless answer if you said Sevilla,

0:16:430:16:45

the Spanish side.

0:16:450:16:47

A pointless answer for BATE Borisov or Dinamo Zagreb.

0:16:470:16:49

All of those would have been pointless answers.

0:16:490:16:51

1 point for Shakhtar Donetsk, Borussia Monchengladbach, Malmo.

0:16:510:16:54

Maccabi Tel Aviv and Astana.

0:16:540:16:57

2 points for Gent and for Galatasaray.

0:16:570:17:00

Let's take a look at the top three,

0:17:000:17:01

the ones the most of our 100 people said.

0:17:010:17:04

You would have got...

0:17:040:17:05

Look at that 74-74 draw.

0:17:100:17:13

-That's a London derby, isn't it?

-LAUGHTER

0:17:130:17:15

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

0:17:150:17:18

and we have to say goodbye to one of our pairs.

0:17:180:17:20

I can't bear it, Martina and Eileen, it is you we have to send home.

0:17:200:17:24

Far too soon. I had you down as finalists.

0:17:240:17:27

-So did we.

-I'm going to lay my cards on the table now -

0:17:270:17:29

I thought you were going to go all the way. I'm so sorry.

0:17:290:17:31

Far too soon to be saying goodbye.

0:17:310:17:33

It's been lovely having you on both shows.

0:17:330:17:35

-Thank you so much for playing, Martina and Eileen.

-Thank you.

0:17:350:17:37

APPLAUSE

0:17:370:17:38

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

0:17:400:17:43

APPLAUSE

0:17:430:17:44

And look at that - suddenly we're just down to three pairs.

0:17:490:17:51

I don't know how that happened, but at the end of this round,

0:17:510:17:54

I have a hunch we're going to be down to two.

0:17:540:17:56

Which pair will be leaving us, I wonder?

0:17:560:17:59

Well, congratulations, Graham,

0:17:590:18:00

our lovely lowest scorer in that round.

0:18:000:18:02

Olympiacos, I mean, fantastic work there.

0:18:020:18:06

But anyway. Here we all are. Best of luck to all three pairs.

0:18:060:18:08

Our category for Round Two today...

0:18:080:18:10

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

0:18:130:18:15

who's going to go second?

0:18:150:18:17

Whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.

0:18:170:18:20

OK.

0:18:220:18:24

And the question concerns...

0:18:240:18:26

Richard?

0:18:280:18:30

Yeah, on each board we're going to show you the name

0:18:300:18:32

of six UK Top 40 singles that were hits for duos.

0:18:320:18:34

We're going to give you the initials of those duos as well.

0:18:340:18:37

Can you give us the most obscure duo you can find, please?

0:18:370:18:39

12 in all to have a go at at home, so very best of luck.

0:18:390:18:42

So we're looking for the duetting artists

0:18:420:18:44

who had hits with these songs.

0:18:440:18:45

And here is our first board of six.

0:18:450:18:47

We have...

0:18:470:18:48

I shall read those all again.

0:19:060:19:08

-Kitty.

-Hello.

0:19:260:19:28

How are you finding these duets?

0:19:280:19:30

Um...

0:19:300:19:31

there's a couple up there that I think I know.

0:19:310:19:35

The difficulty is, which is going to be the most obscure?

0:19:350:19:38

I am going to have a go at the bottom one,

0:19:400:19:43

Baby It's Cold Outside.

0:19:430:19:45

And say Tom Jones and Cerys Matthews.

0:19:450:19:47

Tom Jones and Cerys Matthews, says Kitty.

0:19:470:19:49

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

0:19:490:19:51

It's right.

0:19:530:19:54

Still going down, look at that.

0:19:570:19:59

27. Not bad.

0:19:590:20:00

27 for Tom Jones and Cerys Matthews.

0:20:000:20:04

A Christmas hit, yeah,

0:20:040:20:06

for Tom Jones and Cerys Matthews from Catatonia.

0:20:060:20:08

She's brilliant, Cerys Matthews.

0:20:080:20:10

-She's very, very good, yeah.

-Huge fan of hers.

0:20:100:20:12

-Now, then, Catherine.

-Yes.

0:20:120:20:14

How did you find these duets?

0:20:140:20:17

Quite tricky.

0:20:170:20:18

I think the fifth one down -

0:20:180:20:21

I'm not sure, but I think it might be

0:20:210:20:24

Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin.

0:20:240:20:26

Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin

0:20:260:20:28

Let's see if that's right,

0:20:280:20:30

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

0:20:300:20:32

It is absolutely them, Catherine.

0:20:330:20:36

27 is our only score at this point,

0:20:360:20:39

and you zip past that.

0:20:390:20:41

Very well done indeed.

0:20:410:20:43

Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin.

0:20:430:20:45

Great answer, Catherine.

0:20:460:20:47

He originally recorded it with Brigitte Bardot,

0:20:470:20:49

but that wasn't released till many years later.

0:20:490:20:52

Largely cos she was married at the time of recording

0:20:520:20:54

and it was felt to be, um...you know,

0:20:540:20:56

a little close to the bone.

0:20:560:20:58

-It was felt to be rather racy, wasn't it?

-Yeah.

0:20:580:21:00

Do you know what? Even to this day, it is quite racy.

0:21:000:21:02

LAUGHTER There we are.

0:21:020:21:04

Bob.

0:21:040:21:06

This board's all yours.

0:21:060:21:07

Would you like to go through it and fill in all the blanks?

0:21:070:21:09

I think the top one is Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder.

0:21:090:21:14

Don't know the second one.

0:21:140:21:15

Somethin' Stupid is Nancy Sinatra and Frank Sinatra.

0:21:150:21:18

You're The One That I Want is John Travolta

0:21:200:21:22

and Olivia Neutron...

0:21:220:21:24

-Olivia Newton-John.

-ALEXANDER LAUGHS

0:21:240:21:28

Neutron bomb? LAUGHTER

0:21:280:21:29

I'll go for the oldest one, Somethin' Stupid,

0:21:320:21:36

Nancy Sinatra and Frank Sinatra.

0:21:360:21:37

Nancy Sinatra and Frank Sinatra, says Bob.

0:21:370:21:39

Let's see if that's right,

0:21:390:21:41

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

0:21:410:21:43

Well, look at that.

0:21:480:21:49

APPLAUSE

0:21:490:21:51

Not bad at all.

0:21:510:21:52

35 for Nancy Sinatra and Frank Sinatra.

0:21:530:21:56

Yeah, a number one single.

0:21:560:21:57

Also number one for Robbie Williams and Nicole Kidman

0:21:570:22:00

with the same song, many years later.

0:22:000:22:01

You're the One That I Want is John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John.

0:22:010:22:05

And that would have scored 72 points.

0:22:050:22:08

Ebony and Ivory, you are quite right,

0:22:080:22:10

was Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder.

0:22:100:22:11

You went for the best one of the ones you knew,

0:22:110:22:13

cos that would have scored you 40.

0:22:130:22:14

This last one, two of the biggest stars of the 21st-century.

0:22:140:22:17

Two of the biggest-selling music acts of the last 20-odd years.

0:22:170:22:21

-Do you know it?

-Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran.

0:22:210:22:23

Correct. But it's the smallest answer on

0:22:230:22:25

the board, 4 points, well done if you said that.

0:22:250:22:27

There we go. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.

0:22:270:22:30

We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at those scores.

0:22:300:22:32

12. Well done, Catherine. I'd say Catherine and Millsy

0:22:320:22:35

are looking like a shoe-in on the back of that.

0:22:350:22:37

Then we travel up to 27, where we find Kitty and Al,

0:22:370:22:40

up to 35 where we find Bob and Graham.

0:22:400:22:42

Now, Graham...

0:22:420:22:43

you'll get the new board.

0:22:430:22:45

Make sure you force yourself to find a nice, low score.

0:22:450:22:48

A nice, obscure answer there. Best of luck with that.

0:22:480:22:50

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

0:22:500:22:52

Can the second players please step up to the podium?

0:22:520:22:54

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

0:22:560:23:00

And here they come.

0:23:000:23:02

We have...

0:23:020:23:03

I am going to read those all one last time.

0:23:230:23:25

So, Graham...

0:23:480:23:49

it comes to you.

0:23:490:23:51

You're the high scorers at the moment.

0:23:510:23:53

I know three of them.

0:23:530:23:55

And I think possibly the lowest score of those

0:23:550:23:58

will be the bottom one,

0:23:580:23:59

Islands in the Stream.

0:23:590:24:01

And I'm going to say Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers.

0:24:010:24:05

Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers, says Graham.

0:24:050:24:07

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

0:24:070:24:09

But let's see how many of our 100 people went for them,

0:24:090:24:11

Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers.

0:24:110:24:12

Look at that - absolutely right.

0:24:150:24:17

APPLAUSE

0:24:200:24:21

71 is your total, Graham.

0:24:240:24:26

We also used that, didn't we, we had a round of misheard lyrics?

0:24:260:24:29

And the misheard lyric for that, if you listen to it,

0:24:290:24:31

-is "islands industry".

-Oh, yeah, yeah.

0:24:310:24:34

And if you listen to that song with "islands industry",

0:24:340:24:36

it becomes a very different song.

0:24:360:24:38

Thank you very much, Richard.

0:24:380:24:40

Now, then, Millsy.

0:24:400:24:41

I know a couple, but I think they're probably very high scorers.

0:24:420:24:46

I'm going to go with Empire State of Mind,

0:24:460:24:50

Jay-Z and Alicia Keys.

0:24:500:24:52

Jay-Z and Alicia Keys, says Millsy.

0:24:520:24:54

Here is your red line.

0:24:540:24:55

If you can get below that with Jay-Z and Alicia Keys,

0:24:550:24:57

you're through to the next round.

0:24:570:24:59

Who would have thought that JZ stood for Jay-Z(?)

0:24:590:25:01

LAUGHTER Isn't that extraordinary?!

0:25:010:25:03

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

0:25:030:25:05

Absolutely right.

0:25:090:25:10

And you are into the head-to-head. Well done.

0:25:100:25:12

APPLAUSE

0:25:120:25:13

26 is your score, taking your total up to 38.

0:25:160:25:18

That's two nations with a common language, isn't it, Jay-Z and JZ?

0:25:200:25:24

Thanks very much.

0:25:240:25:25

Now, then, Al.

0:25:250:25:27

You are on 27.

0:25:270:25:28

Your target is 43 or less.

0:25:280:25:31

Do you fancy talking us through the board and filling in the blanks?

0:25:310:25:33

Yeah. Don't Go Breaking My Heart, Elton John and Kiki Dee.

0:25:330:25:36

I Got You Babe is Sonny and Cher.

0:25:360:25:38

I Just Can't Stop Loving You, I think,

0:25:380:25:40

is Michael Jackson and someone,

0:25:400:25:42

but I can't think who the other person is.

0:25:420:25:44

I am going to say

0:25:440:25:45

I've Had the Time of My Life,

0:25:450:25:47

Bill Medley, Jennifer Warnes.

0:25:470:25:49

Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes, says Al.

0:25:490:25:52

Here is your red line.

0:25:520:25:53

Get below that, you're through to the head-to-head.

0:25:530:25:55

How many of our 100 people said Bill Medley, Jennifer Warnes?

0:25:550:25:58

It's right.

0:26:010:26:02

And you're through, well done.

0:26:040:26:07

Look at that, that's a great answer! APPLAUSE

0:26:070:26:09

6, the lowest score of the whole round.

0:26:090:26:12

The best till last there, Al.

0:26:120:26:13

33 is your total. Very well done.

0:26:130:26:15

That's a terrific answer,

0:26:150:26:17

well played, from Dirty Dancing, of course, that one.

0:26:170:26:19

Elton John and Kiki Dee up the top there is a big scorer,

0:26:190:26:22

unsurprisingly.

0:26:220:26:24

Would have scored you 56.

0:26:250:26:27

We'll do S and C, which is Sonny and Cher.

0:26:270:26:29

I Got You Babe for 65.

0:26:300:26:32

It is Michael Jackson, and it's the other one that makes this

0:26:320:26:35

a difficult answer, makes it a very low-scoring answer.

0:26:350:26:37

It's Siedah Garrett.

0:26:370:26:39

Michael Jackson and Siedah Garrett, that would have scored you 2 points.

0:26:390:26:42

Very well done if you said that.

0:26:420:26:44

Thank you very much indeed.

0:26:440:26:45

So at the end of our second round,

0:26:450:26:47

the pair we send home with their high score of 71,

0:26:470:26:50

it's our other returning pair, Graham and Bob.

0:26:500:26:53

I'm so sorry. Oh!

0:26:530:26:55

It's not that high a score either, 71.

0:26:550:26:58

But there you are - it shows that you can leave

0:26:580:26:59

with your heads held high.

0:26:590:27:01

Thanks so much for playing, Graham and Bob. Wonderful.

0:27:010:27:03

APPLAUSE

0:27:030:27:04

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

0:27:060:27:09

Congratulations, Kitty and Al, Millsy and Catherine.

0:27:140:27:17

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

0:27:170:27:20

play for our jackpot, which currently stands at...

0:27:200:27:22

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:27:220:27:23

So we have made it through to the sunlit uplands of the head-to-head,

0:27:280:27:31

which means you can now confer before you give your answers.

0:27:310:27:34

First player to win two questions, as you know,

0:27:340:27:37

will be going through to the final to pay for that jackpot.

0:27:370:27:39

Well, we've had good answers. Nice, low scores from both pairs.

0:27:390:27:42

Now you can put your wits together, this should be very evenly matched.

0:27:420:27:45

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

0:27:450:27:48

Here is your first question.

0:27:540:27:56

And it concerns...

0:27:560:27:57

-Richard.

-Yes, we're going to show five pictures now

0:28:020:28:04

of animals whose names are misleading.

0:28:040:28:06

But what are those names, please?

0:28:060:28:07

We're going to give you a few clues to help you out.

0:28:070:28:09

Thank you very much. Let's reveal our five

0:28:090:28:11

Animals With Misleading Names, and here they come. We have got...

0:28:110:28:14

There we go, five Animals With Misleading Names.

0:28:440:28:47

Kitty and Al will go first.

0:28:470:28:50

THEY CONFER

0:28:500:28:52

We are going to go for C, horny toad.

0:29:020:29:06

Horny Toad?

0:29:060:29:07

C, horny toad.

0:29:070:29:09

Now then, Millsy and Catherine...

0:29:090:29:12

..that board's all yours. Talk us through

0:29:130:29:15

the remaining misleading animals.

0:29:150:29:17

We think A is mountain goat.

0:29:170:29:20

B, we think, is sea cucumber.

0:29:200:29:22

D, we think, is slow worm.

0:29:220:29:25

And E, we think, is electric eel.

0:29:250:29:27

(Which one...?)

0:29:270:29:29

THEY CONFER

0:29:290:29:30

OK, we'd like to go for B, sea cucumber.

0:29:320:29:35

OK, B, sea cucumber.

0:29:350:29:37

So we have horny toad and we have sea cucumber,

0:29:370:29:39

which is B, if you understand what I am saying.

0:29:390:29:41

LAUGHTER

0:29:410:29:42

Now, Kitty and Al went for horny toad.

0:29:420:29:44

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

0:29:440:29:47

It's right.

0:29:490:29:50

Not bad at all.

0:29:580:30:00

Now, then, Millsy and Catherine have gone for sea cucumber for B.

0:30:000:30:04

Let's see if that's right,

0:30:040:30:05

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

0:30:050:30:08

It's right.

0:30:100:30:11

32 for sea cucumber.

0:30:160:30:17

APPLAUSE

0:30:170:30:18

Which means, very well done, Kitty and Al -

0:30:180:30:21

after one question, you're up 1-0.

0:30:210:30:23

Yeah, of course, not a cucumber and not a toad -

0:30:230:30:25

although one does live in the sea and the other one is horny...

0:30:250:30:28

..as you can see.

0:30:290:30:30

-Mm.

-A is the mountain goat. Isn't that lovely photo?

0:30:300:30:34

-Is that a real photograph?

-Yeah. Of a... It's a stunt goat.

0:30:340:30:38

-Oh, I see, yes. I was going to say.

-Professional stunt mountain goat.

0:30:380:30:41

Mountain goats are not really goats.

0:30:410:30:42

They do live on mountains, they're not really goats, though.

0:30:420:30:45

They're sort of a mix of goats and antelopes.

0:30:450:30:48

92 points, though. That's a big score.

0:30:480:30:51

D is, of course, the slow worm,

0:30:510:30:52

which is neither a worm nor a snake, but a lizard. Legless lizard.

0:30:520:30:56

34 points for that.

0:30:560:30:58

And the electric eel, which is not an eel.

0:30:580:31:02

65 points for that.

0:31:020:31:04

Thanks very much, Richard. Here comes your second question -

0:31:040:31:06

Millsy and Catherine, you get to answer this one first,

0:31:060:31:08

but you have to win it, as well, to stay in the game. So, good luck.

0:31:080:31:11

Second question today is all about...

0:31:110:31:13

-Richard.

-Yeah, five anagrams, now, of capital cities from Asia.

0:31:160:31:20

Can you unscramble these, please?

0:31:200:31:22

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

0:31:220:31:24

We've got...

0:31:240:31:25

There we are. Millsy and Catherine, you will go first.

0:31:360:31:38

Feel free to confer.

0:31:380:31:40

(Louse is Seoul...)

0:31:420:31:43

(Which one of those do you...?)

0:31:450:31:46

(Gin Jibe.)

0:31:480:31:49

OK, we'd like to say Beijing. So, the third one down, please.

0:31:490:31:52

OK, Gin Jibe - Beijing say Millsy and Catherine.

0:31:520:31:55

Now, then, Kitty and Al, the board's all yours.

0:31:550:31:59

Talk us through those anagrams.

0:31:590:32:01

Um...

0:32:010:32:02

We think Animal is Manila,

0:32:020:32:05

Rap Is Gone we think is Singapore,

0:32:050:32:09

and then Louse us we think is Seoul.

0:32:090:32:12

We're not sure on Test Hank.

0:32:120:32:14

I think we're going to choose Manila as our answer.

0:32:140:32:17

OK, Manila. Animal, Manila.

0:32:170:32:19

So, we have Beijing and we have Manila.

0:32:190:32:21

Millsy and Catherine said Beijing.

0:32:210:32:23

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

0:32:230:32:26

It's right.

0:32:280:32:29

60. APPLAUSE

0:32:320:32:35

60 for Beijing.

0:32:350:32:37

Kitty and Al, meanwhile, have gone for Manila.

0:32:370:32:40

Let's see if that's right,

0:32:400:32:41

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

0:32:410:32:43

It is right...

0:32:450:32:46

..and it wins you the point, look at that. Wow, and how!

0:32:470:32:50

Look at that, 41 for Manila. APPLAUSE

0:32:500:32:52

Which means, Kitty and Al, very well done indeed,

0:32:520:32:55

after only two questions, you're straight through to the final 2-0.

0:32:550:32:58

Very nicely done. Yeah, the capital of the Philippines, Manila.

0:32:580:33:01

You're right about the bottom one, that is Seoul,

0:33:010:33:03

capital of South Korea.

0:33:030:33:05

73 points for that.

0:33:050:33:06

Rap Is Gone, it's a better answer than Manila,

0:33:060:33:09

but you won the point anyway - Rap Is Gone was Singapore,

0:33:090:33:11

and it would have scored you 19 points.

0:33:110:33:14

The best answer is Test Hank. It's the capital of Uzbekistan.

0:33:140:33:17

-Tashkent.

-Tashkent.

0:33:170:33:19

That would have scored you 4 points. Very well done if you said that.

0:33:190:33:23

Thank you very much indeed.

0:33:230:33:24

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

0:33:240:33:26

I'm afraid, Millsy and Catherine, it is you. It's good news, really,

0:33:260:33:29

because it means you get a second bite at the cherry.

0:33:290:33:31

We'll get to see you again next time. Look forward to that

0:33:310:33:33

very much indeed. Maybe you can go one step further then -

0:33:330:33:35

but in the meantime, thank you very much indeed, Millsy and Catherine.

0:33:350:33:38

APPLAUSE

0:33:380:33:39

For Kitty and Al, it's now time for our Pointless final.

0:33:410:33:44

Congratulations, Kitty and Al.

0:33:480:33:51

You have finished ahead of the pack

0:33:510:33:52

and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.

0:33:520:33:55

You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot,

0:34:010:34:03

and at the end of today's show the jackpot is standing at £3,000.

0:34:030:34:07

There it is. APPLAUSE

0:34:070:34:09

What a long way we've come from Genk.

0:34:110:34:14

Were you worried?

0:34:160:34:17

Wobbly foundations there -

0:34:170:34:18

but, hey, look at this! 2-0 in the head-to-head.

0:34:180:34:21

Very exciting indeed, and a really exciting jackpot, as well.

0:34:210:34:25

As always, you get to choose your category

0:34:250:34:27

from the four we put up on the board.

0:34:270:34:28

We just have to hope there's something

0:34:280:34:30

you quite like the look of up there.

0:34:300:34:31

Best of luck. Today's categories look like this. We've got...

0:34:310:34:34

-I think I'd probably rule out Russia straightaway.

-Yeah.

0:34:420:34:44

-Do you think?

-Crime Writers I would know nothing about.

0:34:440:34:47

No, I don't read crime, really.

0:34:470:34:49

Latin American Singers,

0:34:490:34:50

I can only think of one off the top of my head,

0:34:500:34:53

so it's looking like it's going to be...

0:34:530:34:54

-Shall we go for the Seans?

-Acting Seans. Yeah.

-Acting Seans.

0:34:540:34:58

OK, Acting Seans.

0:34:580:35:00

I do like it when people choose their category

0:35:000:35:02

by going through all of them saying, "Definitely not that,

0:35:020:35:04

"definitely not that, definitely not that,"

0:35:040:35:06

and then realising there's only one left.

0:35:060:35:08

So, therefore that has to be the one.

0:35:080:35:09

Yeah, Acting Seans, very best of luck.

0:35:090:35:11

Looking for any feature film made for cinema release

0:35:110:35:14

for which any of the following three are credited as acting in, please.

0:35:140:35:18

We're looking for...

0:35:180:35:19

That's up to February 2016 for all of those,

0:35:240:35:26

and according to IMDB -

0:35:260:35:27

so, any feature film made for cinema release

0:35:270:35:30

for which one of these three gentleman

0:35:300:35:32

has received an acting credit. Best of luck.

0:35:320:35:34

Thanks very much indeed. Now, as always,

0:35:340:35:36

you've got up to one minute to come up with three answers.

0:35:360:35:38

All you need to win that jackpot

0:35:380:35:40

is for just one of those answers to be pointless. Are you ready?

0:35:400:35:43

-Yes.

-OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock. There they are.

0:35:430:35:46

Your time starts now.

0:35:460:35:48

Um...

0:35:480:35:50

Sean Bean was obviously in Lord Of The Rings,

0:35:500:35:52

Fellowship Of The Ring.

0:35:520:35:54

One of the James Bond films.

0:35:540:35:56

-Was it GoldenEye?

-Yes, I think so.

0:35:560:35:58

Sean Penn was in one where he played somebody that had a child...

0:35:580:36:03

-Was he in Milk?

-Yes, he was in Milk, but I don't...

-Summer Of Sam.

0:36:030:36:07

-I Am Sam. I Am Sam.

-I Am Sam, that's the one.

0:36:070:36:09

Yeah, that might be a good one.

0:36:090:36:10

-Sean Connery - something like League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

-Maybe.

0:36:100:36:13

-Maybe, that's a good one.

-Or Highlander. Too obvious?

0:36:130:36:16

I don't know - I didn't think of Highlander!

0:36:160:36:19

-Um...

-I think I Am Sam, maybe, is one...

0:36:190:36:22

-I Am Sam from Sean Penn.

-Yeah.

-Um...

0:36:220:36:25

Can you think of any other Sean Beans?

0:36:250:36:28

I can only think of him as Boromir.

0:36:300:36:32

THEY LAUGH

0:36:320:36:33

-No, it's gone. I can't think of any more.

-10 seconds left.

0:36:330:36:36

Sean Connerys, then. Two Sean Connerys...

0:36:360:36:38

League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen and Highlander for Sean Connery?

0:36:380:36:41

-Yeah, OK.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

0:36:410:36:43

OK, sounds like you've reached your decision, as time runs out.

0:36:430:36:46

There is the minute up. Let's have those answers.

0:36:460:36:49

-For Sean Penn, we're going to say I Am Sam.

-I Am Sam.

0:36:490:36:53

-And for Sean Connery, we'll say Highlander...

-Highlander.

0:36:530:36:57

And also for Sean Connery

0:36:570:36:58

we will say League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

0:36:580:37:00

League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

0:37:000:37:01

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

0:37:010:37:04

-What you think?

-I Am Sam?

-I Am Sam.

-I Am Sam goes last.

0:37:040:37:07

-Least likely to be pointless?

-Highlander, probably.

0:37:070:37:09

Highlander we'll put first.

0:37:090:37:11

OK, well, let's put those answers up on the board

0:37:110:37:13

in that order, then - and here they are.

0:37:130:37:16

We've got Highlander,

0:37:160:37:17

we've got The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen

0:37:170:37:19

and we have got I Am Sam.

0:37:190:37:20

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

0:37:200:37:24

Now, if one of these turns out to be pointless and wins you that jackpot,

0:37:240:37:28

you will leave with £3,000. What will you do with that?

0:37:280:37:30

Kitty, you first.

0:37:300:37:32

Well, we... In August, we're going to Las Vegas

0:37:320:37:35

to see our friends Emma and JP get married,

0:37:350:37:38

and I am Sam, actually, can be credited to Emma,

0:37:380:37:40

because she made me watch that in the uni,

0:37:400:37:42

-we're friends from uni, so...

-Lovely.

0:37:420:37:44

-..I can credit Emma on that one.

-So, it will go towards that.

-Yes.

0:37:440:37:47

Al, how about you?

0:37:470:37:48

I've been wanting to redecorate the front room for ages,

0:37:480:37:51

so I will take part of that to...

0:37:510:37:53

-There we go - Las Vegas and the front room.

-Yeah.

0:37:530:37:56

-But I want my helicopter ride!

-Yeah, yeah.

0:37:560:37:59

Well, if only there was a way in Vegas

0:37:590:38:01

you could make that money go further... I can't think of...

0:38:010:38:04

-Ah.

-No.

-No? No, it's gone. Well, very best of luck.

0:38:040:38:09

Your first answer was Highlander.

0:38:090:38:11

In this case, we were looking for Sean Connery films.

0:38:110:38:13

This was the one you thought was least likely to be pointless -

0:38:130:38:16

but let's find out - if it is pointless, it wins you £3,000.

0:38:160:38:18

How many of our 100 people named Highlander?

0:38:180:38:21

-Well, it's right.

-Phew!

0:38:250:38:27

Down it goes. Highlander.

0:38:270:38:28

If this goes all the way down to 0, you will leave here with £3,000.

0:38:280:38:31

Down it goes, through the 20s and into the teens,

0:38:310:38:33

down it goes into single figures -

0:38:330:38:35

9. There we are.

0:38:350:38:36

APPLAUSE

0:38:360:38:37

You stop at 9.

0:38:370:38:38

Not a bad score by any stretch of the imagination.

0:38:410:38:43

Sadly, not a pointless answer, though.

0:38:430:38:45

So, we move on to your next answer,

0:38:450:38:47

which was The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

0:38:470:38:49

Once again we're looking for Sean Connery films.

0:38:490:38:52

It has to be pointless, though, for you to win that jackpot.

0:38:520:38:54

£3,000 riding on it.

0:38:540:38:56

How many people said The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen?

0:38:560:38:59

It's right again.

0:39:020:39:03

Your first answer, Highlander, took us all the way down to 9.

0:39:030:39:06

The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen now takes us down

0:39:060:39:09

into the teens, down we go, still going down -

0:39:090:39:11

into single figures, passes 9,

0:39:110:39:12

down it goes, still going down - to 2.

0:39:120:39:14

APPLAUSE

0:39:140:39:16

-Very well done indeed. That's a fantastic leap.

-That's unexpected.

0:39:200:39:23

Down from 9 to 2. These scores are getting better and better.

0:39:230:39:26

You've ordered this perfectly.

0:39:260:39:28

Sadly, though, still not a pointless answer,

0:39:280:39:30

which means everything is now riding on I Am Sam,

0:39:300:39:33

your third and final answer -

0:39:330:39:34

the one you thought was probably your best shot

0:39:340:39:36

at a pointless answer.

0:39:360:39:37

In this case, we're looking for Sean Penn films.

0:39:370:39:40

To win £3,000, though, it has to be pointless answer.

0:39:400:39:43

I Am Sam - how many of our 100 people said it? Is it pointless?

0:39:430:39:47

Well, it's right -

0:39:510:39:52

your third correct answer.

0:39:520:39:54

Highlander, your first answer, took us down to 9.

0:39:540:39:56

The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen, your second answer,

0:39:560:39:58

took us down to 2.

0:39:580:40:00

I Am Sam passes 9,

0:40:000:40:01

down it goes.

0:40:010:40:03

Oh, and it passes 2, into 1!

0:40:030:40:04

APPLAUSE

0:40:040:40:06

O-o-ohh!

0:40:060:40:08

Oh, I'm so sorry, that is so harsh. One person said I Am Sam.

0:40:110:40:16

-I hate that person.

-Oh...

0:40:160:40:18

-Unfortunately, it was your old university friend.

-It was!

0:40:180:40:22

Oh, I'm so sorry. Very well played, though, on this last round.

0:40:230:40:26

Three great scores, there.

0:40:260:40:28

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

0:40:280:40:31

so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £3,000.

0:40:310:40:33

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

0:40:330:40:36

right the way across the show,

0:40:360:40:37

lots to be proud of there.

0:40:370:40:39

It's been great having you here -

0:40:390:40:40

and you get to take home a Pointless trophy each,

0:40:400:40:42

so very, very well done. APPLAUSE

0:40:420:40:44

That was a pretty good performance, wasn't it? Very, very well played.

0:40:470:40:50

The first rule of film rounds...

0:40:500:40:51

actually, the first rule of film rounds

0:40:510:40:53

is don't go for a film rounds,

0:40:530:40:54

but the second rule of film rounds is think about sequels,

0:40:540:40:57

Highlander 2 - The Quickening was a pointless answer.

0:40:570:41:01

ALL GROAN

0:41:010:41:03

So, really, really unlucky. Sorry about that.

0:41:030:41:05

Let's take a look at this.

0:41:050:41:06

Some other big films here, some big films in all of these categories.

0:41:060:41:09

We'll start with Sean Penn.

0:41:090:41:11

Carlito's Way, in which he is brilliant, by the way,

0:41:120:41:15

is a pointless answer.

0:41:150:41:16

Sweet And Lowdown, Woody Allen film -

0:41:160:41:17

always go for Woody Allen films. The Game is a pointless answer,

0:41:170:41:20

The Tree Of Life - all of his films are pointless answers

0:41:200:41:22

apart from Milk, which you mentioned, Mystic River,

0:41:220:41:24

Dead Man Walking, 21 Grams, then Shanghai Surprise,

0:41:240:41:27

We're No Angels, The Interpreter, Thin Red Line, Bad Boys,

0:41:270:41:30

I Am Sam, The Gunman and Fair Game - all of those scored points,

0:41:300:41:33

everything else was a pointless answer.

0:41:330:41:34

I always think, with Sean Penn, if you went out for dinner with him,

0:41:340:41:37

-it might be quite hard work.

-I think he might be.

0:41:370:41:39

-Do you know what I mean?

-Quite intense.

-I think so -

0:41:390:41:41

whereas this next gentleman, I would love to go out to dinner with.

0:41:410:41:44

-Sean Bean. I think that might be more fun.

-Mm.

0:41:440:41:46

He's got some pointless answers, too.

0:41:460:41:48

Percy Jackson And The Lightning Thief was a pointless answer -

0:41:520:41:55

everything there, apart from the Lord Of The Rings -

0:41:550:41:57

The Fellowship of the Ring, that would have scored you points.

0:41:570:42:00

GoldenEye would have scored points, as well, and Patriot Games,

0:42:000:42:02

and 1 point for The Hitcher, The Marsh and Equilibrium,

0:42:020:42:05

the Lord of the Rings: The Return Of The King, Black Beauty,

0:42:050:42:08

When Saturday Comes and National Treasure -

0:42:080:42:09

they would have scored 1 point.

0:42:090:42:11

Everything else a pointless answer here.

0:42:110:42:13

Sean Connery, I think, probably fun, again, to go out for dinner with.

0:42:130:42:16

I would have thought.

0:42:160:42:17

Meteor, Never Say Never Again,

0:42:170:42:18

where he comes back - it's an unofficial James Bond film,

0:42:180:42:21

that was a pointless answer.

0:42:210:42:22

The Russia House, a pointless answer, Time Bandits, also.

0:42:220:42:24

A Bridge Too Far was pointless, A Good Man In Africa,

0:42:240:42:27

Finding Forrester, First Knight was a pointless answer,

0:42:270:42:29

Murder On The Orient Express, a pointless answer.

0:42:290:42:32

The Man With The Deadly Lens - I've not heard of that film,

0:42:320:42:34

-but it sounds terrible, doesn't it?

-Yeah, yeah.

0:42:340:42:36

The Man With The Deadly Lens. It was a pointless answer, anyway.

0:42:360:42:39

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

0:42:390:42:41

A terrific performance all the way through today's show,

0:42:410:42:43

and a great jackpot round, as well.

0:42:430:42:44

Sorry we can't send you home with the money.

0:42:440:42:46

Thanks very much indeed, Richard, and thanks, Kitty and Al,

0:42:460:42:49

and so sorry you didn't win the jackpot today.

0:42:490:42:52

That means it rolls over onto the next show

0:42:520:42:54

when we will be playing for £4,000.

0:42:540:42:56

APPLAUSE

0:42:560:42:58

Join us then to see if someone can win it.

0:43:000:43:01

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

-Goodbye.

0:43:010:43:04

..and it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.

0:43:040:43:05

APPLAUSE
