0:00:16 > 0:00:20CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:00:20 > 0:00:22Thank you very much indeed.

0:00:22 > 0:00:25Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless, the show

0:00:25 > 0:00:28where the aim of the game is to find the most obscure answer possible.

0:00:28 > 0:00:30Let's meet today's players.

0:00:34 > 0:00:36And couple number one.

0:00:36 > 0:00:38Hello, I'm Sarah, this is my fabulous partner, Clare.

0:00:38 > 0:00:40We live in Nottingham but we're from

0:00:40 > 0:00:43Northumberland and Norfolk respectively.

0:00:43 > 0:00:44Couple number two.

0:00:44 > 0:00:47I'm Sandy, this is my girlfriend, Jenny, and we live in Cornwall.

0:00:47 > 0:00:50- Couple number three.- I'm Martin, this is my beautiful wife, Kathleen,

0:00:50 > 0:00:52and we're from London.

0:00:52 > 0:00:54And finally, couple number four.

0:00:54 > 0:00:56I'm Madelyn, this is my brother, Graham, and we're from Liverpool.

0:00:56 > 0:00:58And these are today's contestants.

0:01:01 > 0:01:03Thanks very much, we'll find out more about each of you

0:01:03 > 0:01:05throughout the show as it goes along.

0:01:05 > 0:01:08So that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.

0:01:08 > 0:01:10Strap yourselves in, start the ignition,

0:01:10 > 0:01:13check your blind spot, check it again,

0:01:13 > 0:01:16mirror, signal and manoeuvre, it's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.

0:01:16 > 0:01:18Hiya.

0:01:18 > 0:01:20Hi, everybody. Good afternoon.

0:01:22 > 0:01:24- Good afternoon to you. - Good afternoon.

0:01:24 > 0:01:26It's going to be a great show today, I suspect.

0:01:26 > 0:01:28We've got two returning pairs from last time,

0:01:28 > 0:01:29both of whom were rather good.

0:01:29 > 0:01:32On podium two, Sandy and Jenny, they got knocked out in Round Two,

0:01:32 > 0:01:34quite unluckily, I think.

0:01:34 > 0:01:36And on podium one, we've got Clare and Sarah,

0:01:36 > 0:01:38who got all the way through to the head-to-head,

0:01:38 > 0:01:40where they got knocked out by Dave and Jean.

0:01:40 > 0:01:43I mean, really, they got knocked out by Jean, to be fair!

0:01:43 > 0:01:45And Dave and Jean,

0:01:45 > 0:01:49- they went through to play for that massive jackpot, £9,250.- Yeah.

0:01:49 > 0:01:54And they didn't get it. So, the jackpot keeps on getting bigger.

0:01:54 > 0:01:56It's going to be a cracking show today,

0:01:56 > 0:01:58two pairs that we've seen before, two new pairs.

0:01:58 > 0:02:02I sense Martin might be trouble. We'll find out. Maybe he's not!

0:02:02 > 0:02:04You know when you meet people beforehand, you think,

0:02:04 > 0:02:06"OK, we've got our hands full with this one"?

0:02:06 > 0:02:07I think that might be Martin.

0:02:07 > 0:02:09But lots of money up for grabs as well, some lovely questions,

0:02:09 > 0:02:12great contestants. How much fun is this going to be?

0:02:12 > 0:02:14Hard to quantify, Richard. Thanks very much.

0:02:14 > 0:02:16Now, Dave and Jean didn't win the jackpot last time,

0:02:16 > 0:02:19is basically what Richard was saying, so we add another £1,000

0:02:19 > 0:02:24to that, so today's jackpot starts off - starts off - at £10,250.

0:02:27 > 0:02:30Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.

0:02:36 > 0:02:37Just to remind you,

0:02:37 > 0:02:40the pair with the highest score at the end of each round will be

0:02:40 > 0:02:43eliminated and there must be no conferring in the first two rounds.

0:02:43 > 0:02:46Our first category this afternoon

0:02:46 > 0:02:48is Places.

0:02:48 > 0:02:51Places. Can you all decide, on that basis,

0:02:51 > 0:02:55who is going to go first in your pairs and who is going to go second?

0:02:55 > 0:02:57Whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.

0:03:01 > 0:03:04OK, and the question concerns...

0:03:07 > 0:03:10English Heritage sites and their counties. Oh, this has been

0:03:10 > 0:03:13- controversial in the past!- I know. We'll discuss that, I suspect.- Yeah.

0:03:13 > 0:03:16On each board, we'll show you the names of seven English Heritage

0:03:16 > 0:03:19sites, you need to tell us the county in which they are in, please.

0:03:19 > 0:03:21The county in which each of these are in.

0:03:21 > 0:03:24There's 14 in all, you can have a go at home. Best of luck.

0:03:24 > 0:03:26So, we got in trouble before with Burghley House,

0:03:26 > 0:03:28- when we said it was in... - Cambridgeshire.

0:03:28 > 0:03:30Everyone said, no, it's in Lincolnshire.

0:03:30 > 0:03:33We said, no, it's in Cambridgeshire. They said, no, it's in Lincolnshire.

0:03:33 > 0:03:37Even Burghley house went, "They are right on Pointless, we really are where they are saying."

0:03:37 > 0:03:41- People were still refusing - "No, I drive past you every day..." - They are on the county boundary.

0:03:41 > 0:03:43Oh, yeah, they are on the boundary.

0:03:43 > 0:03:45One of the gates probably is in Lincolnshire.

0:03:45 > 0:03:47But even when Burghley House were saying,

0:03:47 > 0:03:51"No, honestly, I am Burghley House and I know what county I'm in,"

0:03:51 > 0:03:54people were still going, "No, I do not think you are."

0:03:54 > 0:03:55LAUGHTER

0:03:55 > 0:03:58Let's hope none of these are on the boundaries of counties!

0:03:58 > 0:04:00- That's what I'm hoping. - Can you imagine?

0:04:00 > 0:04:01So, we'll go with the addresses

0:04:01 > 0:04:04listed on the English Heritage website.

0:04:04 > 0:04:06I'm so glad you said that.

0:04:06 > 0:04:09We are going to go with the addresses as listed on

0:04:09 > 0:04:11the official website of English Heritage.

0:04:11 > 0:04:15- IE, where they actually are.- OK. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.

0:04:15 > 0:04:18So, we're looking for the counties in which you would find these

0:04:18 > 0:04:19English Heritage sites.

0:04:19 > 0:04:22And here is our first board of seven.

0:04:39 > 0:04:41I'll read those one last time.

0:04:51 > 0:04:53- Clare.- Hello.- Welcome back.

0:04:53 > 0:04:56Now, last time we saw you, you were standing, you were the golden

0:04:56 > 0:04:58couple in the head-to-head round,

0:04:58 > 0:05:02and Boston, Boston got you.

0:05:02 > 0:05:04Oh, dear. Anyway, we're back,

0:05:04 > 0:05:07it's a new day and the jackpot's got a little bit bigger, so tactically,

0:05:07 > 0:05:09you've done something fantastic.

0:05:09 > 0:05:11- Which is quite nice, yeah. - I think it is.

0:05:11 > 0:05:15- Remind us what you do, Clare.- I'm a student, a social work student.

0:05:15 > 0:05:18- A social work student.- I am.- About to embark on a course at Nottingham?

0:05:18 > 0:05:20- Yeah, a degree.- A degree course. - At Nottingham University.

0:05:20 > 0:05:23- How long will that take? Three years?- Three years.

0:05:23 > 0:05:27- It's quite nice, that. Are you looking forward to it?- I am.

0:05:27 > 0:05:30- So, that's a new venture.- Yeah! - Get lots of holidays off.

0:05:30 > 0:05:33Brilliant, well, good luck with that and good luck with this.

0:05:33 > 0:05:36So, in which counties would you find these English Heritage sites?

0:05:36 > 0:05:39I could go for an obvious one...

0:05:39 > 0:05:43- Now, I'm going to talk to you about Pointless... Um...- I know!

0:05:43 > 0:05:46But I could get 100 if I get it wrong.

0:05:46 > 0:05:50Framlingham Castle, I believe, is in Suffolk.

0:05:50 > 0:05:52Suffolk. Suffolk, says Clare.

0:05:52 > 0:05:56Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said Suffolk.

0:05:58 > 0:06:01Very well done indeed, Clare, that was worth it, I think.

0:06:02 > 0:06:03Down it goes...

0:06:03 > 0:06:06That's a great answer, 16, well done.

0:06:06 > 0:06:08What a start to the round, 16. APPLAUSE

0:06:11 > 0:06:13Absolutely right to take the risk, Clare, well played.

0:06:13 > 0:06:15It's in Suffolk. It's in Framlingham, more specifically.

0:06:15 > 0:06:19- Thank you, Richard. Now, Jenny, welcome back.- Hello.- Welcome back.

0:06:19 > 0:06:23- From Newquay in Cornwall? - Yes, correct.- Wonderful.

0:06:23 > 0:06:24Remind us what you do down there.

0:06:24 > 0:06:29I work as a wildlife tour guide on boat trips out of Padstow.

0:06:29 > 0:06:31What's the most exciting wildlife you have round there?

0:06:31 > 0:06:34We see grey seals on pretty much every trip,

0:06:34 > 0:06:36they're quite kind of creatures of habit,

0:06:36 > 0:06:38they hang around the same kind of places.

0:06:38 > 0:06:40They look like little labradors, don't they?

0:06:40 > 0:06:41The little heads peeping up.

0:06:41 > 0:06:44We see dolphins quite regularly, common dolphins,

0:06:44 > 0:06:47sometimes bottlenose, I've seen Risso's dolphins...

0:06:47 > 0:06:50You see, she really does know her marine life there.

0:06:50 > 0:06:51All these different types of dolphin!

0:06:51 > 0:06:55- I would hope that she does, though, to be fair.- Just doing my job, so...

0:06:55 > 0:06:58Well, yeah, I know, but what I'm saying is, she's demonstrating.

0:06:58 > 0:07:02- What, the fact that someone can name more than one type of dolphin?- Yes!

0:07:02 > 0:07:05- Suddenly, you are in thrall!- I am!

0:07:05 > 0:07:08Easily impressed, I like that in a man.

0:07:08 > 0:07:10I think it's... I think...

0:07:10 > 0:07:12It doesn't take a lot to impress me, but there you are.

0:07:12 > 0:07:15What would you like to go for on this board?

0:07:15 > 0:07:18- English counties are awful for me. - You live in one!

0:07:18 > 0:07:22- I know Scotland and I know Cornwall. So, thankfully...- I see. Oh, good.

0:07:22 > 0:07:24..I'm seeing something up there that pleases me,

0:07:24 > 0:07:27so I'm going to go for the third one down and say Cornwall.

0:07:27 > 0:07:30- You're going to say Launceston Castle and Cornwall.- Yes.

0:07:30 > 0:07:35Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said it, too.

0:07:36 > 0:07:38It's right.

0:07:41 > 0:07:4336, not bad.

0:07:43 > 0:07:46APPLAUSE

0:07:46 > 0:07:47Not bad.

0:07:47 > 0:07:50Yeah, it used to be a prison, Launceston Castle.

0:07:50 > 0:07:52The founder of the Quakers, George Fox, was once held there.

0:07:52 > 0:07:54Thanks very much indeed.

0:07:54 > 0:07:58Martin, welcome to Pointless. Good to have you here. From South London?

0:07:58 > 0:08:03- Correct.- And what do you do, Martin? - I'm a commodity broker.

0:08:03 > 0:08:06Do you trade in pork bellies and orange juice?

0:08:06 > 0:08:12I don't, I trade in cocoa, coffee, sugar, wheat and other things,

0:08:12 > 0:08:15you know, such as stocks and shares, financials, you name it,

0:08:15 > 0:08:17- I'll trade it. - So, absolutely anything.

0:08:17 > 0:08:20What was your best day ever? If that's not really vulgar question!

0:08:20 > 0:08:22What were the excitements of a really good day?

0:08:22 > 0:08:25Well, when you make money, that's always a good day.

0:08:25 > 0:08:28- OK, there we are! - Very good day, that is.

0:08:28 > 0:08:30Martin, what are your interests these days?

0:08:30 > 0:08:35Well, I run a karate class, I'm a black belt second dan,

0:08:35 > 0:08:39- I'm still doing it, even at my age. - That's impressive.

0:08:39 > 0:08:43- How often do you do that, daily? - No, a couple of times a week.

0:08:43 > 0:08:44That's good enough.

0:08:44 > 0:08:47Now, Martin, what would you like to go for on this board?

0:08:47 > 0:08:49Well, English counties are not really my field.

0:08:49 > 0:08:54I'm going to take a long shot and go for Iron Bridge, Shropshire.

0:08:54 > 0:08:57OK, Martin's long shot, Shropshire. Let's see if that's right

0:08:57 > 0:09:00and how many of our 100 people said Shropshire.

0:09:02 > 0:09:05It's right. 36 is our highest score.

0:09:06 > 0:09:08You've passed that.

0:09:08 > 0:09:1230, your score for Shropshire. APPLAUSE

0:09:12 > 0:09:16Yeah, the world's first iron bridge, I learned about that at O-level.

0:09:16 > 0:09:17So, there we are.

0:09:17 > 0:09:19Now, Graham, welcome to Pointless, great to have you.

0:09:19 > 0:09:21You're from Liverpool. What do you do, Graham?

0:09:21 > 0:09:24I'm a legal accounts assistant.

0:09:24 > 0:09:27- Right, how long have you done that for?- Eight years now, I think.

0:09:27 > 0:09:31- Eight years?- Mm.- And what do you do in your spare time?- Sport, mainly.

0:09:31 > 0:09:34I play five-a-side twice a week,

0:09:34 > 0:09:37- I also play tennis and snooker as well.- Very good.

0:09:37 > 0:09:41Now, Graham, this is your board, you can go through that and

0:09:41 > 0:09:44fill in all the blanks for us, if you like.

0:09:44 > 0:09:46How are you feeling about it?

0:09:46 > 0:09:47So-so.

0:09:48 > 0:09:52Um, I think I'm going to go for the last one,

0:09:52 > 0:09:54which I believe is East Sussex.

0:09:54 > 0:09:57East Sussex for the 1066 Battle of Hastings Abbey and Battlefield.

0:09:57 > 0:10:00East Sussex, let's see if that's right and how many of

0:10:00 > 0:10:02our 100 people said East Sussex.

0:10:09 > 0:10:1251. 51 for East Sussex. APPLAUSE

0:10:14 > 0:10:17Well played, Graham. Let's fill in the rest of this board.

0:10:17 > 0:10:21- Stonehenge...- Is Wiltshire. - ..is Wiltshire.

0:10:21 > 0:10:24- 55 points for that. Lindisfarne... - Northumberland.

0:10:24 > 0:10:28That's your neck of the woods. 34 points for that. And Dover Castle...

0:10:28 > 0:10:31- Kent.- Kent, that's the biggest score of 76, so, Clare, Suffolk is

0:10:31 > 0:10:34- the best answer on that board, very well played.- I am impressed!

0:10:34 > 0:10:35Thanks very much indeed.

0:10:35 > 0:10:39We're halfway through the round, let's take a look at those scores.

0:10:39 > 0:10:41Well done, 16, Clare, the best score of the pass.

0:10:41 > 0:10:44Then we travel up to 30, where we find Martin and Kathleen.

0:10:44 > 0:10:4836, Jenny and Sandy. Then up to 51, where we find Graham and Madelyn.

0:10:48 > 0:10:50So, yes, you're not miles ahead, Madelyn,

0:10:50 > 0:10:53but a nice low score from you will keep you in the game.

0:10:53 > 0:10:54We are going to come back down the line now.

0:10:54 > 0:10:57Could the second players please step up to the podium?

0:10:59 > 0:11:02So, let's put seven more English Heritage sites up on the board,

0:11:02 > 0:11:04and here they come.

0:11:20 > 0:11:22I'm going to read those all again.

0:11:36 > 0:11:39OK, now, Madelyn, welcome here from Liverpool.

0:11:39 > 0:11:41What do you do, Madelyn?

0:11:41 > 0:11:44I'm a mental health practitioner in a community mental health team.

0:11:44 > 0:11:46And how long have you been doing that for?

0:11:46 > 0:11:50Coming up to five years now, so quite a long time, my longest job.

0:11:50 > 0:11:52And what are your hobbies, Madelyn?

0:11:52 > 0:11:54I've got a little dog, who I have to walk every day.

0:11:54 > 0:11:58She's lovely, she's a pug and beagle, a puggle.

0:11:58 > 0:11:59- A puggle?- Puggle, yeah.

0:11:59 > 0:12:03Would you say, tends more pug, or tends more beagle?

0:12:03 > 0:12:04Um, more pug, I'd say.

0:12:04 > 0:12:06She's quite small and she's got a little cute face.

0:12:06 > 0:12:09Does she disappear if you take her for a walk, if she's not on a lead?

0:12:09 > 0:12:13- She did use to, but I've managed to train her to an OK-ish level.- Good.

0:12:13 > 0:12:16Now, you're on 51, you are the highest scorers,

0:12:16 > 0:12:18but you've got a lovely new board here, Madelyn.

0:12:18 > 0:12:21What would you like to go for? A nice low score should keep you in.

0:12:21 > 0:12:23Well, unfortunately,

0:12:23 > 0:12:25I've only actually heard of one of those answers.

0:12:25 > 0:12:28I think it would be a pretty high answer,

0:12:28 > 0:12:30so I'm going to have to take a bit of

0:12:30 > 0:12:34a risk and go for Ambleside Roman Fort, and I'm going to say Cumbria.

0:12:34 > 0:12:38Cumbria. No red line for you because you are the highest scorers.

0:12:38 > 0:12:41Let's see how many people said Cumbria for Ambleside Roman Fort.

0:12:45 > 0:12:48It's right, that was a good punt.

0:12:48 > 0:12:5041 for Cumbria. APPLAUSE

0:12:50 > 0:12:5292 is your total.

0:12:52 > 0:12:56- Could be enough to keep you in the game there.- Well played, Madelyn.

0:12:56 > 0:12:59Thought to have been built during Emperor Hadrian's reign.

0:12:59 > 0:13:01Thanks very much, Richard. Now, Kathleen, welcome.

0:13:01 > 0:13:05- Welcome to the show. What do you do, Kathleen?- I'm an image consultant.

0:13:05 > 0:13:09Image consultant? For individuals?

0:13:09 > 0:13:12Mostly women, I help them, give them a bit of advice on how to

0:13:12 > 0:13:15- look and how that impacts on their confidence.- That's fun.

0:13:15 > 0:13:17Do you actually take them off shopping?

0:13:17 > 0:13:20Yeah, shopping trips, I look through people's wardrobes,

0:13:20 > 0:13:21I do all the fun things.

0:13:21 > 0:13:25- I've created the most fantastic job for myself.- It sounds enormous fun.

0:13:25 > 0:13:27- Do people enjoy it? - I love every single thing about it.

0:13:27 > 0:13:32- Are you very candid?- Um, yeah, I use my words very carefully.

0:13:32 > 0:13:36- I'm everybody's best friend.- Have you broken anyone down to tears?

0:13:36 > 0:13:39- No, not yet!- OK.- That could be something to aim for...- Martin?

0:13:39 > 0:13:42You can see, I let my husband dress himself.

0:13:42 > 0:13:45LAUGHTER

0:13:45 > 0:13:48Maybe people are moved to tears by what you've done for them.

0:13:48 > 0:13:51- That's one other way of looking at it, yeah.- There we go.

0:13:51 > 0:13:53Now, you're on 30, great low score from Martin on the first pass.

0:13:53 > 0:13:58- If you can score 61 or less, you're into the next round.- OK, um...

0:13:58 > 0:14:01The one I'm looking at is quite near where we live, actually, because

0:14:01 > 0:14:04Martin said we live in South London, but we actually live in East London.

0:14:04 > 0:14:05I think it's nerves.

0:14:05 > 0:14:07LAUGHTER

0:14:07 > 0:14:09It's East London! OK.

0:14:09 > 0:14:13Um, I'm going to go for Audley End, Essex.

0:14:13 > 0:14:16Essex for Audley End, says Kathleen. Here is your red line.

0:14:16 > 0:14:18Nice and high. If you get below that,

0:14:18 > 0:14:19you're through to the next round.

0:14:19 > 0:14:21How many of our 100 people said Essex?

0:14:26 > 0:14:27Very well done, good enough.

0:14:27 > 0:14:3036. APPLAUSE

0:14:30 > 0:14:3266 is your total, and you're through.

0:14:32 > 0:14:35Nicely played, Kathleen, absolutely,

0:14:35 > 0:14:38it's one of those ones that is also quite near Cambridgeshire.

0:14:38 > 0:14:40But not close enough that we're going to get in trouble!

0:14:40 > 0:14:43Thank you very much indeed. Now, Sandy, welcome back.

0:14:43 > 0:14:47- Remind us what you do, Sandy. - I'm a beach lifeguard in Cornwall.

0:14:47 > 0:14:51A beach lifeguard in Cornwall. And you're originally from Glasgow?

0:14:51 > 0:14:55- Indeed.- What actually was it that brought you down to Cornwall?

0:14:55 > 0:15:00I did some summer jobs just outside Newquay and got into surfing,

0:15:00 > 0:15:03liked the beach more than the office, to be honest.

0:15:03 > 0:15:05- And liked the people, I'm guessing.- Yeah, absolutely.

0:15:05 > 0:15:08- They're very nice people down there, aren't they?- Yeah.

0:15:08 > 0:15:10- No, it's fantastic. I love it.- OK.

0:15:10 > 0:15:12OK. Now, Sandy, 36 is your score at the moment,

0:15:12 > 0:15:1492 is still the high score.

0:15:14 > 0:15:1555 or less gets you through.

0:15:15 > 0:15:18Well, talking about coming on the show, you know,

0:15:18 > 0:15:20the one thing you don't want to come up...

0:15:20 > 0:15:23- English counties. - There we go, eh?

0:15:23 > 0:15:25- Aw.- So, erm, I'm not 100%.

0:15:25 > 0:15:28I'm going to have to go for one I think's quite easy.

0:15:28 > 0:15:30Hopefully it's long enough.

0:15:30 > 0:15:32And say Glastonbury

0:15:32 > 0:15:34and say Somerset.

0:15:34 > 0:15:35OK.

0:15:35 > 0:15:38Glastonbury Tribunal, Somerset.

0:15:38 > 0:15:40There is your red line.

0:15:40 > 0:15:42You have to get below that red line with Somerset.

0:15:42 > 0:15:44Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.

0:15:46 > 0:15:48It's right.

0:15:49 > 0:15:51And you're through.

0:15:51 > 0:15:52Just. 50.

0:15:52 > 0:15:55Needed 55, got 50.

0:15:55 > 0:15:5786 is your total. You're into Round Two.

0:15:57 > 0:15:59Well played, Sandy. Built in the 15th century,

0:15:59 > 0:16:02thought to have been the courthouse of Glastonbury Abbey -

0:16:02 > 0:16:05now it's a Tourist Information Centre, amongst other things.

0:16:05 > 0:16:08You'd think they'd know, from 15th century?

0:16:08 > 0:16:11- Yeah. Could have been a courthouse. Could have been...- Probably was.

0:16:11 > 0:16:14- Could've been a Spar.- Yeah.

0:16:14 > 0:16:18Who knows? Who knows what it was? Lost in the mists of time.

0:16:18 > 0:16:20Thank you very much.

0:16:20 > 0:16:23- Now, Sarah.- Hello. - Welcome back, Sarah.

0:16:23 > 0:16:25Lovely thing we've learned about Sarah

0:16:25 > 0:16:28that we didn't know last time - Sarah's from Northumberland.

0:16:28 > 0:16:29- Yes, I am.- Aw!

0:16:29 > 0:16:30That's lovely. Whereabouts?

0:16:30 > 0:16:33Place called Amble. Amble-by-the-Sea.

0:16:33 > 0:16:35Amble. Yeah, I love Northumberland.

0:16:35 > 0:16:36It's where I'm from, you know.

0:16:36 > 0:16:38I know. All the best people are.

0:16:38 > 0:16:41- Yes. Yes.- Well, I say that - I'm from Essex.- Well, that's true.

0:16:41 > 0:16:43Yeah. Now, then, Sarah.

0:16:43 > 0:16:45Remind us what you do.

0:16:45 > 0:16:47I work at the University of Nottingham

0:16:47 > 0:16:48as a disability adviser.

0:16:48 > 0:16:49That's right. And...

0:16:49 > 0:16:52So tell us what you are going to plan this year

0:16:52 > 0:16:53with your new VW camper van.

0:16:53 > 0:16:55We discovered all about this last time.

0:16:55 > 0:16:57The first thing we're going to do is,

0:16:57 > 0:16:59we've got the Isle of Wight Festival booked,

0:16:59 > 0:17:03but just generally enjoy getting out and about

0:17:03 > 0:17:06and just making the most of the countryside.

0:17:06 > 0:17:08Talking of making the most of the countryside,

0:17:08 > 0:17:11we have wonderful places to visit all over this board.

0:17:11 > 0:17:12Four unanswered ones.

0:17:12 > 0:17:14If you wanted, you could go through all of them.

0:17:14 > 0:17:15There's two I know on there.

0:17:15 > 0:17:18I know the one that's got the initials IOW is Isle of Wight.

0:17:18 > 0:17:20But I'm not for that,

0:17:20 > 0:17:23I'm going to go for one that's quite near us in Nottingham,

0:17:23 > 0:17:26that's Bolsover Castle, which I believe is in Derbyshire.

0:17:26 > 0:17:29Bolsover Castle in Derbyshire, says Sarah.

0:17:29 > 0:17:31Lovely low score from Clare in the first pass,

0:17:31 > 0:17:33which means you only have to score 75 or less

0:17:33 > 0:17:35to be through to the next round.

0:17:35 > 0:17:38Your red line three quarters of the way up the column.

0:17:38 > 0:17:41Let's see how many of our 100 people said Derbyshire for Bolsover Castle.

0:17:43 > 0:17:45It's right.

0:17:45 > 0:17:46And you're through! Very well done.

0:17:48 > 0:17:49Another great answer.

0:17:49 > 0:17:51Look at that. 18!

0:17:51 > 0:17:54Very well done indeed. 34.

0:17:55 > 0:17:57Very well done.

0:17:57 > 0:17:58Well played, Sarah.

0:17:58 > 0:18:01Of course you're right about Isle of Wight for Osborne House as well.

0:18:01 > 0:18:03It's a bigger scorer, though,

0:18:03 > 0:18:05so Bolsover Castle a better answer to go for.

0:18:05 > 0:18:0764 there for the Isle of Wight.

0:18:07 > 0:18:08Berney Arms Windmill.

0:18:08 > 0:18:10- I'm going to guess Norfolk. - It is in Norfolk, yes.

0:18:10 > 0:18:1221 points for that. Wrest Park is difficult

0:18:12 > 0:18:15if you don't know it, because lots of English counties begin with B.

0:18:15 > 0:18:17- Yeah.- And this one is Bedfordshire.

0:18:17 > 0:18:19Very well done if you said that,

0:18:19 > 0:18:20would've scored 7 points

0:18:20 > 0:18:22and it's the best answer on the board.

0:18:22 > 0:18:25Thank you very much indeed, Richard. So, at the end of our first round,

0:18:25 > 0:18:26the pair who are heading home with...

0:18:26 > 0:18:28It's not that high a score,

0:18:28 > 0:18:30but I'm afraid it just is our highest score.

0:18:30 > 0:18:32Madelyn and Graham. I'm so sorry -

0:18:32 > 0:18:3592 somehow seems to be the number we have to send you home with today.

0:18:35 > 0:18:36But we'll see you again next time,

0:18:36 > 0:18:38look forward to that very much indeed.

0:18:38 > 0:18:39In the meantime, thanks very much,

0:18:39 > 0:18:41- Madelyn and Graham.- Thank you.

0:18:41 > 0:18:44But, for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.

0:18:49 > 0:18:50So now we're down to three pairs.

0:18:50 > 0:18:52Obviously, at the end of this round,

0:18:52 > 0:18:55we'll have to say goodbye to another pair.

0:18:55 > 0:18:57Our category for Round Two this afternoon is Words.

0:18:57 > 0:18:59It's a Words round.

0:18:59 > 0:19:01Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,

0:19:01 > 0:19:03who's going to go second.

0:19:03 > 0:19:06And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:19:08 > 0:19:10OK, let's find out what the question is.

0:19:10 > 0:19:12Here it comes.

0:19:12 > 0:19:15We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name...

0:19:15 > 0:19:18as many words ending in "CLE"

0:19:18 > 0:19:20as they could.

0:19:20 > 0:19:22CLE. Richard.

0:19:22 > 0:19:23Yes, we're looking for any word

0:19:23 > 0:19:26that features on the British and World English section

0:19:26 > 0:19:29of oxforddictionaries.com, as of December 2015,

0:19:29 > 0:19:31that ends "CLE", please.

0:19:32 > 0:19:34Thank you very much indeed.

0:19:34 > 0:19:36- So, Sarah.- Hello.

0:19:36 > 0:19:39Words ending "CLE".

0:19:39 > 0:19:42Yes. I can think of quite a few,

0:19:42 > 0:19:45but I'm going to go for carbuncle.

0:19:45 > 0:19:47Oh, that's a good one.

0:19:47 > 0:19:49That's a good one. Carbuncle.

0:19:49 > 0:19:52Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.

0:19:59 > 0:20:00Still going down.

0:20:00 > 0:20:01Still going down.

0:20:01 > 0:20:03Look at that - 15. Very well done, Sarah.

0:20:05 > 0:20:06Very well done.

0:20:08 > 0:20:10It's an abscess or boil in the skin, a carbuncle.

0:20:10 > 0:20:13- It's a much nicer word than it is a thing.- Yes.

0:20:13 > 0:20:18There we are. OK. Now, Sandy, we're looking for any word ending "CLE".

0:20:18 > 0:20:20OK, I've got a few in my head.

0:20:21 > 0:20:24I've got a pretty good one, but I think it might be hyphenated.

0:20:24 > 0:20:27- That would make it a bad one. - Yeah, I know.

0:20:27 > 0:20:30- So I'm not going to go for that. - Oh, but it might be brilliant!

0:20:30 > 0:20:32I'll be lucky if I get a correct one.

0:20:32 > 0:20:35- OK.- So I'm going to go for particle.

0:20:35 > 0:20:37You're going to go for particle.

0:20:37 > 0:20:38Particle says Sandy.

0:20:38 > 0:20:41Let's see how many of our 100 people went with that.

0:20:44 > 0:20:45Phew.

0:20:45 > 0:20:47Oh.

0:20:50 > 0:20:5115 again.

0:20:51 > 0:20:52Look at that - 15.

0:20:52 > 0:20:54Seems to be a very popular stopping-off place

0:20:54 > 0:20:56for this column here.

0:20:56 > 0:20:5815-15. It's like a game of tennis, isn't it?

0:20:58 > 0:21:00A minute portion of matter.

0:21:00 > 0:21:02Thank you very much, Richard.

0:21:02 > 0:21:04Now, Martin.

0:21:04 > 0:21:07Right. Erm, again, words are not my field, really.

0:21:07 > 0:21:10But, erm, I'm going to have a little go.

0:21:10 > 0:21:12Words are not your field?!

0:21:12 > 0:21:15I've heard it all now.

0:21:15 > 0:21:17Unicycle.

0:21:17 > 0:21:20Unicycle says Martin.

0:21:20 > 0:21:24OK, let's see how many of our 100 people said unicycle.

0:21:32 > 0:21:3413. You've broken through.

0:21:34 > 0:21:38Broken through from 15.

0:21:38 > 0:21:40Yeah, well played, Martin.

0:21:40 > 0:21:44Obviously a one-wheeled means of perambulation.

0:21:44 > 0:21:46Yeah. Means of...

0:21:46 > 0:21:49Something that... Other words that I'm not going to be able to say.

0:21:49 > 0:21:51There we go. Thank you very much, Richard.

0:21:51 > 0:21:54We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at those scores.

0:21:54 > 0:21:56Only two scores between the three teams.

0:21:56 > 0:21:57Martin and Kathleen are on 13

0:21:57 > 0:21:59thanks to Martin's wonderful unicycle there.

0:21:59 > 0:22:02And Sandy and Jenny, and Sarah and Clare,

0:22:02 > 0:22:03are alike on 15.

0:22:03 > 0:22:06So there we are. We're going to come back down the line now,

0:22:06 > 0:22:08can the second players please step up to the podium?

0:22:11 > 0:22:13All right. Kathleen.

0:22:13 > 0:22:16We're looking for words ending "CLE".

0:22:16 > 0:22:18Words ARE my thing.

0:22:18 > 0:22:22I think Martin meant numbers were his thing, words are my thing.

0:22:22 > 0:22:23We complement each other.

0:22:23 > 0:22:26Good.

0:22:26 > 0:22:29I'm going to go for a long shot, I think I know it.

0:22:29 > 0:22:33I'm going to apologise to my daughter, who's an English student.

0:22:33 > 0:22:36- Ventricle.- Ventricle, says Kathleen.

0:22:36 > 0:22:38Ventricle.

0:22:38 > 0:22:42OK. Here is your red line. I mean, there it is.

0:22:42 > 0:22:45Essentially, to avoid becoming the new high-scorers,

0:22:45 > 0:22:46you have to score 1 or less.

0:22:46 > 0:22:49Let's see how many of our 100 people said ventricle.

0:22:52 > 0:22:53It's right.

0:22:59 > 0:23:00It's 1.

0:23:00 > 0:23:03You needed to score 1, you did score 1.

0:23:03 > 0:23:04Your total is 14.

0:23:04 > 0:23:06You are in the head-to-head round.

0:23:06 > 0:23:09Very well played, Kathleen. Yeah, the ventricle,

0:23:09 > 0:23:12the two main chambers of the heart are the ventricles.

0:23:12 > 0:23:14Also, if you sit under the air-conditioning unit at work,

0:23:14 > 0:23:16you know sometimes you get dripped on?

0:23:16 > 0:23:19That's a ventricle. That's the same thing.

0:23:19 > 0:23:21Thank you, Richard.

0:23:21 > 0:23:22Jenny.

0:23:22 > 0:23:24- Yeah.- Jenny. Just as low

0:23:24 > 0:23:26as it can possibly be.

0:23:26 > 0:23:28There's no target particularly for you,

0:23:28 > 0:23:30- as you're joint high-scorers. - Do my best.

0:23:30 > 0:23:32I'm going to, erm...

0:23:32 > 0:23:35- Go marine.- Good.- As expected.

0:23:35 > 0:23:37And I'm going to go with tentacle.

0:23:39 > 0:23:41As you should. Tentacle, says Jenny.

0:23:41 > 0:23:42No red line, as I say.

0:23:42 > 0:23:45Just let's see how far down the column we get with tentacle.

0:23:55 > 0:23:56It's a good one! Look at that, 5.

0:23:56 > 0:23:59Very well done indeed. 5, taking your total up to 20.

0:24:01 > 0:24:03Very nicely played, Jenny.

0:24:03 > 0:24:06- Going to be tense on that first podium now, isn't it?- Oh, they are.

0:24:06 > 0:24:10They are. But if anyone can do it under pressure, I think Clare can.

0:24:10 > 0:24:13Now, Clare, words ending "CLE".

0:24:14 > 0:24:16I'm going to carry on with the bike theme.

0:24:16 > 0:24:19- Mm-hm.- And go tricycle.

0:24:19 > 0:24:22Tricycle. OK, tricycle.

0:24:22 > 0:24:24Let's find out how many of our 100 people said tricycle.

0:24:24 > 0:24:28There is your red line right down at the bottom there.

0:24:28 > 0:24:294 or less is your target.

0:24:38 > 0:24:39Oh, no!

0:24:39 > 0:24:4028.

0:24:40 > 0:24:4328?!

0:24:45 > 0:24:4628?!

0:24:46 > 0:24:49Unicycle 13, tricycle 28?!

0:24:49 > 0:24:50That doesn't make any sense at all.

0:24:50 > 0:24:54Anyway, there we are. 28, and it takes your total up to 43.

0:24:54 > 0:24:55I think maybe cos it rhymes with bicycle,

0:24:55 > 0:24:57so once you've thought, "Bicycle,"

0:24:57 > 0:25:00you go, "Bicycle, tricycle," and then you kind of...

0:25:00 > 0:25:03Unicycle is a little bit further on the list. Do you have an answer?

0:25:03 > 0:25:05Well, I do. But I don't know if it's a word now.

0:25:05 > 0:25:07I think there's a word pentacle.

0:25:07 > 0:25:10P-E-N-T-A-C-L-E, I think.

0:25:10 > 0:25:14- Pentacle?- Oh, even now I've realised I've made it up.

0:25:14 > 0:25:151 point.

0:25:15 > 0:25:16Yay!

0:25:16 > 0:25:20- Well done.- Oh, good. Good.- Very nicely played.

0:25:20 > 0:25:23But let's take a look at some of the pointless answers - plenty of them.

0:25:23 > 0:25:27- You could have had astroparticle. - Oh, there's canticle.

0:25:27 > 0:25:28Sandy, that would have been ballsy

0:25:28 > 0:25:30if you'd said that. That's a great answer.

0:25:30 > 0:25:33Auricle, which is the outside bit of your ear. Canticle...

0:25:33 > 0:25:35That's what I should have gone for.

0:25:35 > 0:25:39Curricle, encircle is a pointless answer.

0:25:39 > 0:25:43Monocycle would have been a terrific answer, it's a pointless one.

0:25:43 > 0:25:47Outmuscle is a pointless answer, subcuticle and upcycle,

0:25:47 > 0:25:50which is this fashionable thing now of making old furniture,

0:25:50 > 0:25:52kind of revamping it. They call it upcycling.

0:25:52 > 0:25:54Let's take a look at the top three answers,

0:25:54 > 0:25:57the ones that most of our 100 people said when we asked them.

0:26:04 > 0:26:07Uncle Bicycle Icicle would be a good name for a kids' book.

0:26:07 > 0:26:11- Wouldn't it?- Wouldn't it? Uncle Bicycle Icicle. Write it!

0:26:11 > 0:26:12Quickly, write it!

0:26:12 > 0:26:14Finished. LAUGHTER

0:26:14 > 0:26:17Just find an illustrator and you're off.

0:26:17 > 0:26:20Thanks very much indeed, Richard. So, at the end of our second round,

0:26:20 > 0:26:22the pair we're saying goodbye to, I can't bear this,

0:26:22 > 0:26:25it's Clare and Sarah, who were our golden couple last time.

0:26:25 > 0:26:28I'm so sorry. You've been so strong the whole way through,

0:26:28 > 0:26:30but I'm afraid this is where we say goodbye.

0:26:30 > 0:26:31It's been wonderful having you on the show.

0:26:31 > 0:26:34Thank you so much for playing, Clare and Sarah.

0:26:37 > 0:26:40Right, for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.

0:26:45 > 0:26:48Many congratulations, Kathleen and Martin, Sandy and Jenny,

0:26:48 > 0:26:50you are now within touching distance of the final

0:26:50 > 0:26:52and a chance to play for our jackpot,

0:26:52 > 0:26:55which currently stands at...

0:26:59 > 0:27:02Well, here you are and the best thing about this stage of the game

0:27:02 > 0:27:04and onwards is that you're allowed to confer.

0:27:04 > 0:27:07You can start playing as a team, which is wonderful.

0:27:07 > 0:27:09In this case, the first pair to win two questions

0:27:09 > 0:27:11will be playing for that jackpot.

0:27:11 > 0:27:14Also, Martin, it means if any subject comes up that happens

0:27:14 > 0:27:17not to be your field, you can pass it over to Kathleen,

0:27:17 > 0:27:20which is fantastic.

0:27:20 > 0:27:22Sandy and Jenny, very well done.

0:27:22 > 0:27:23Lovely to have you here in the head-to-head.

0:27:23 > 0:27:25Very best of luck to both pairs.

0:27:25 > 0:27:29Let us not forget that humungous five-figure jackpot there

0:27:29 > 0:27:31that is possibly waiting for one pair.

0:27:31 > 0:27:32Let's play the head-to-head.

0:27:38 > 0:27:40OK, here comes your first question

0:27:40 > 0:27:43and our first question this afternoon is all about...

0:27:43 > 0:27:46- Oh, good!- It's Chickens. Richard.

0:27:46 > 0:27:48Yeah, five clues now to facts about Chickens.

0:27:48 > 0:27:51I know they normally call them "the dolphins of the land", don't they?

0:27:51 > 0:27:54Whoever gives us the most obscure answer is going to score a point.

0:27:54 > 0:27:56Thanks very much indeed.

0:27:56 > 0:27:59OK, let's reveal our five clues, our Chicken clues and here they are.

0:28:29 > 0:28:31I'm going to read those one last time.

0:28:53 > 0:28:56Now, Kathleen and Martin, you're our low scorers

0:28:56 > 0:28:58throughout the show so far so you will go first.

0:28:58 > 0:29:00I'll leave it to you, my darling.

0:29:00 > 0:29:02Erm...

0:29:02 > 0:29:04I think I know two.

0:29:04 > 0:29:06I'm not sure on the second one

0:29:06 > 0:29:08so I'm going to go for the one

0:29:08 > 0:29:09I'm most sure of.

0:29:09 > 0:29:10Do you have any input, Mart?

0:29:10 > 0:29:13- Go for it! - LAUGHTER

0:29:14 > 0:29:15Invaluable, Martin.

0:29:17 > 0:29:22I'm going to go for satirical TV puppet show

0:29:22 > 0:29:24and it is Spitting Image.

0:29:24 > 0:29:27Spitting Image say Kathleen and Martin. Well, Kathleen.

0:29:29 > 0:29:31Sandy and Jenny, that board's all yours.

0:29:31 > 0:29:33Do you want to talk us through it?

0:29:33 > 0:29:36- Jenny. - LAUGHTER

0:29:36 > 0:29:38The first one - no clue.

0:29:38 > 0:29:42The second one - I would imagine Virginia.

0:29:44 > 0:29:46Coronation chicken - Elizabeth II.

0:29:46 > 0:29:48I'm going to go for the bottom one,

0:29:48 > 0:29:50I think it's Robin Hood.

0:29:50 > 0:29:55Robin Hood. OK, so we have Spitting Image and we have Robin Hood.

0:29:55 > 0:29:57Kathleen and Martin went for Spitting Image.

0:29:57 > 0:30:01Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.

0:30:14 > 0:30:1742. Now, then, Sandy and Jenny have gone for Robin Hood.

0:30:17 > 0:30:18Let's see if that's right,

0:30:18 > 0:30:21let's see how many of our 100 people have said Robin Hood.

0:30:24 > 0:30:25It's right.

0:30:27 > 0:30:29Is it... Yes, it is going to beat 42. Down it goes.

0:30:29 > 0:30:31Look at that, 19 for Robin Hood!

0:30:31 > 0:30:34Very well done, Sandy and Jenny.

0:30:34 > 0:30:37- After one question, you are up 1-0.- Well played.

0:30:37 > 0:30:39Let's fill in the rest of this board.

0:30:39 > 0:30:42- The US TV series... - Breaking Bad.- Is Breaking Bad.

0:30:42 > 0:30:44It would have scored you 20 points.

0:30:44 > 0:30:47The chicken breed, it's not Virginia - it's Plymouth Rock.

0:30:47 > 0:30:48Oh, right, of course.

0:30:48 > 0:30:50And that would have scored you four points

0:30:50 > 0:30:53and coronation chicken was created... Obviously Elizabeth II.

0:30:53 > 0:30:54What do you think that would have scored?

0:30:54 > 0:30:56Erm, 92.

0:30:56 > 0:30:58Ha, you wish. Let's take a look.

0:30:58 > 0:31:01It would have scored you 58.

0:31:01 > 0:31:05There we are, OK. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.

0:31:05 > 0:31:06Here comes your second question.

0:31:06 > 0:31:08Now, then, Kathleen and Martin,

0:31:08 > 0:31:10you have to win this one to stay in the game.

0:31:10 > 0:31:14But Sandy and Jenny get to answer it first. Best of luck. It concerns...

0:31:17 > 0:31:19Superhero Actors, Richard.

0:31:19 > 0:31:21We're going to give you the names now of five pairs of actors,

0:31:21 > 0:31:23all of whom have played the same superhero.

0:31:23 > 0:31:25Can you tell us who the superhero is, please?

0:31:25 > 0:31:28I'm going to give you the dates they first played them as well.

0:31:28 > 0:31:31OK, lets reveal our five pairs of actors and here they come.

0:31:51 > 0:31:53I'm going to read those all one last time.

0:32:02 > 0:32:05Sandy and Jenny will go first.

0:32:07 > 0:32:09OK. I know all of them,

0:32:09 > 0:32:11but it's just which one's lowest.

0:32:12 > 0:32:14Erm, I think we're going to go for the middle one

0:32:14 > 0:32:17and say Captain America.

0:32:17 > 0:32:20Captain America for Matt Salinger and Chris Evans.

0:32:20 > 0:32:22Captain America.

0:32:22 > 0:32:24Now, Kathleen and Martin,

0:32:24 > 0:32:27- do you want to take us through the rest of the board?- I think she does.

0:32:27 > 0:32:29Well, that was the only one I didn't know, actually,

0:32:29 > 0:32:32so Batman, Catwoman,

0:32:32 > 0:32:34Superman, Spider-Man.

0:32:34 > 0:32:36I'm going to go for Spider-Man -

0:32:36 > 0:32:39Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield.

0:32:39 > 0:32:41OK, the bottom one, you're going to say Spider-Man.

0:32:41 > 0:32:44So we have Captain America and we have Spider-Man.

0:32:44 > 0:32:46Sandy and Jenny said Captain America.

0:32:46 > 0:32:49Let's see if that is right for Matt Salinger and Chris Evans.

0:32:52 > 0:32:53It is right.

0:32:55 > 0:32:57How far down the column will we end up?

0:32:58 > 0:33:00Oh, that's a brilliant answer!

0:33:00 > 0:33:013, very well done indeed.

0:33:01 > 0:33:033 for Captain America.

0:33:06 > 0:33:09Meanwhile, Kathleen and Martin have gone for Spider-Man.

0:33:09 > 0:33:12Let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said that

0:33:12 > 0:33:14for Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield.

0:33:17 > 0:33:20It's right. It's got a long way to go.

0:33:20 > 0:33:22It's still going down.

0:33:22 > 0:33:2334.

0:33:26 > 0:33:2934, which means very, very well done indeed, Sandy and Jenny.

0:33:29 > 0:33:32After only two questions, you are through to the final 2-0.

0:33:32 > 0:33:33Very well played.

0:33:33 > 0:33:35Nothing you could have done to beat Captain America,

0:33:35 > 0:33:37very much the best answer on the board.

0:33:54 > 0:33:56- Whoa, there you go.- How about that?

0:33:56 > 0:33:59That's the score that I thought coronation chicken was going to get.

0:33:59 > 0:34:00You'd have thought so!

0:34:00 > 0:34:04Christopher Reeve much more famous than Queen Elizabeth II.

0:34:04 > 0:34:06There you are, there you are. Thank you very much.

0:34:06 > 0:34:09So, the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,

0:34:09 > 0:34:11I'm afraid it's Kathleen and Martin.

0:34:11 > 0:34:13Just not enough things your field, Martin, I think.

0:34:13 > 0:34:16But we will get to see you again next time.

0:34:16 > 0:34:18We'll look forward to that very much indeed.

0:34:18 > 0:34:20Meantime, thanks very much, Kathleen and Martin.

0:34:24 > 0:34:27But for Sandy and Jenny, it's now time for our Pointless final.

0:34:31 > 0:34:34Congratulations, Sandy and Jenny! You've seen off all the competition

0:34:34 > 0:34:37- and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.- Yes!

0:34:43 > 0:34:46You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.

0:34:46 > 0:34:49At the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at...

0:34:55 > 0:34:57Well, I say you'd earned your place here, I mean,

0:34:57 > 0:35:01for heaven's sake, we started off with English Heritage Sites,

0:35:01 > 0:35:03then we had Words Ending "CLE",

0:35:03 > 0:35:06then we had Chickens, then we had Superhero Actors

0:35:06 > 0:35:09and, you know, here you are, you've come out on top.

0:35:09 > 0:35:12So, what would you love to see come up?

0:35:12 > 0:35:14Ooh, Disney for Jenny. Marine mammals.

0:35:14 > 0:35:17Marine mammals would be perfect.

0:35:17 > 0:35:20Famous surfers, that'd be good. World champion surfers, maybe?

0:35:20 > 0:35:23Well, you never know. You never know in these last rounds.

0:35:23 > 0:35:26They can be quite niche sometimes, but, anyway, the very best of luck.

0:35:26 > 0:35:29Really lovely big jackpot there and you do deserve it

0:35:29 > 0:35:31so let's hope there's something up on the board

0:35:31 > 0:35:33- you like the look of. - Fingers crossed.

0:35:33 > 0:35:36Today's selection of categories reads like this - we have got...

0:35:45 > 0:35:51- I used to be a big Monty Python fan, but...- So are a lot of people.

0:35:51 > 0:35:52A lot of people are.

0:35:52 > 0:35:56- Asian Geography - you've been to Asia, right?- Yep.

0:35:56 > 0:36:01- I mean, is that going to be a good one, Asian Geography?- Maybe.

0:36:01 > 0:36:03What do you reckon? Flip a coin?

0:36:03 > 0:36:05We've got to go for Asian Geography, don't we, really?

0:36:05 > 0:36:08- Yep, let's do it. - Right, Asian Geography, come on.

0:36:08 > 0:36:11- Asian Geography it is. Richard. - OK, very, very best of luck.

0:36:11 > 0:36:14Huge jackpot here, three very different questions.

0:36:14 > 0:36:18We are looking for any of the state capitals of India,

0:36:18 > 0:36:20the capitals of any of the 29 states

0:36:20 > 0:36:24or the seven union territories of India.

0:36:24 > 0:36:27We're looking for the capital city of any landlocked Asian country

0:36:27 > 0:36:29so any landlocked Asian country,

0:36:29 > 0:36:32we're looking for its capital city, please,

0:36:32 > 0:36:36or any currencies of countries that border China.

0:36:36 > 0:36:37As always, by country,

0:36:37 > 0:36:40we mean a sovereign state that's a member of the UN in its own right.

0:36:40 > 0:36:42So those state capitals of India,

0:36:42 > 0:36:44capital cities of landlocked Asian countries

0:36:44 > 0:36:47or currencies of countries that border China -

0:36:47 > 0:36:48very, very best of luck.

0:36:48 > 0:36:50Thanks very much indeed. Now, as always,

0:36:50 > 0:36:53you've got up to a minute to come up with three answers.

0:36:53 > 0:36:54All you need to win that jackpot

0:36:54 > 0:36:56is for just one of those answers to be pointless.

0:36:56 > 0:36:59- Are you ready?- Yep. - As we'll ever be!- OK.

0:36:59 > 0:37:01Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.

0:37:01 > 0:37:03There they are. Your time starts now.

0:37:04 > 0:37:06Right, state capitals of India?

0:37:06 > 0:37:09Kaipur, is that one?

0:37:09 > 0:37:13- Delhi is a very big one.- Jaipur.

0:37:13 > 0:37:18Jaipur - it's a dish at least, anyway, yeah. Mumbai...

0:37:18 > 0:37:19- What's in Goa?- I don't know.

0:37:19 > 0:37:22- Capital cities of landlocked countries.- Do you know any?

0:37:22 > 0:37:24What's the capital of Laos?

0:37:24 > 0:37:27- Er...- The capital of Mongolia.

0:37:27 > 0:37:29- Erm...- The capital of Nepal?

0:37:29 > 0:37:33- Kathmandu.- Kathmandu.- Erm... - That's a good one.

0:37:33 > 0:37:36Erm... Currencies, I don't know.

0:37:36 > 0:37:41Currencies, it's the rupee in India.

0:37:41 > 0:37:42Russia borders it.

0:37:42 > 0:37:45Which countries border China?

0:37:45 > 0:37:46I don't even know.

0:37:46 > 0:37:50Capital cities of landlocked countries, erm...

0:37:50 > 0:37:53- Oh, my God!- Ten seconds left.

0:37:53 > 0:37:56There aren't too many Asian landlocked countries.

0:37:56 > 0:37:59No, I'm struggling. Oh...

0:37:59 > 0:38:02What will we say for India?

0:38:02 > 0:38:05OK, that is your time up, I'm afraid.

0:38:05 > 0:38:08I now need your three answers.

0:38:08 > 0:38:13- Kathmandu, category capital cities of landlocked countries.- OK.

0:38:13 > 0:38:18State capitals of India - erm, Kaipur.

0:38:18 > 0:38:22- Is that a place?- Do you want that to be an answer?- Go on, then.- Kaipur.

0:38:22 > 0:38:26And Bengal, is that one? That's a place, isn't it?

0:38:26 > 0:38:30- Bengal.- Bengal, and that again is a state capital of India?

0:38:30 > 0:38:32Total guess. Yeah, yeah.

0:38:32 > 0:38:37So, we have Kathmandu and we have Kaipur and we have Bengal.

0:38:37 > 0:38:40Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?

0:38:40 > 0:38:44We think Kaipur's right so let's have a right one at the end.

0:38:44 > 0:38:48- Let's have Kaipur at the end?- Yeah. - OK, least likely to be pointless.

0:38:48 > 0:38:50- Bengal.- Bengal.

0:38:50 > 0:38:52Bengal goes first and then Kathmandu in the middle.

0:38:52 > 0:38:55OK, well, let's put those answers up on the board in that order, then,

0:38:55 > 0:38:57and here they are.

0:38:57 > 0:39:00We've got Bengal, Kathmandu and Kaipur.

0:39:00 > 0:39:03Well, very, very best of luck.

0:39:03 > 0:39:06Now, if one of these turns out to be a pointless answer

0:39:06 > 0:39:10and you win that jackpot of £10,250, what would you do with it?

0:39:10 > 0:39:12Sandy?

0:39:12 > 0:39:14Go on holiday, you know, something like that, get away.

0:39:14 > 0:39:17Very nice. Jenny, anything in particular?

0:39:17 > 0:39:19Well, obviously, both our jobs are fairly seasonal

0:39:19 > 0:39:21so we spend the winter doing a bit of travelling.

0:39:21 > 0:39:23Somewhere where there's surf and marine animals

0:39:23 > 0:39:24would be a perfect combo.

0:39:24 > 0:39:26Lovely.

0:39:26 > 0:39:28Well, very, very, very best of luck.

0:39:28 > 0:39:31Three good answers on the board, let's hope.

0:39:31 > 0:39:33Your first answer is Bengal.

0:39:33 > 0:39:36In this case, we were looking for state capitals of India.

0:39:36 > 0:39:37Let's find out. If this is right,

0:39:37 > 0:39:39then let's find out if it's pointless.

0:39:39 > 0:39:40If it's both of those things,

0:39:40 > 0:39:42you will leave here immediately with £10,250.

0:39:42 > 0:39:44How many people said Bengal?

0:39:48 > 0:39:51Oh! Bad luck, I'm afraid.

0:39:51 > 0:39:53An incorrect answer to kick us off there.

0:39:53 > 0:39:57Two more shots at today's jackpot. Your next answer was Kathmandu.

0:39:57 > 0:39:58Now, in this case,

0:39:58 > 0:40:01we were looking for capitals of landlocked Asian countries.

0:40:01 > 0:40:06If this is pointless, it will win you £10,250.

0:40:06 > 0:40:10Let's find out how many of our 100 people said Kathmandu.

0:40:13 > 0:40:14It's right.

0:40:14 > 0:40:16Your first answer was Bengal,

0:40:16 > 0:40:17which was incorrect.

0:40:17 > 0:40:19Kathmandu, your second answer, though,

0:40:19 > 0:40:20is absolutely right.

0:40:20 > 0:40:22Down it goes through the teens

0:40:22 > 0:40:23and into single figures.

0:40:23 > 0:40:24Still going down, still going down...

0:40:24 > 0:40:26Oh, 5!

0:40:29 > 0:40:33Five of our 100 people said Kathmandu so not a pointless answer.

0:40:33 > 0:40:35- It's a good answer.- It's a good answer, it's a great score.

0:40:35 > 0:40:38- Slightly encouraging. - Sadly, it's not pointless, though.

0:40:38 > 0:40:40You have one more shot at today's jackpot, though,

0:40:40 > 0:40:42and your final answer was Kaipur.

0:40:42 > 0:40:46In this case, we were looking once again for state capitals in India.

0:40:46 > 0:40:51If this is right and if it is pointless, you will win £10,250.

0:40:51 > 0:40:56How many of our 100 people said Kaipur? Is it pointless?

0:40:59 > 0:41:01Oh, no!

0:41:04 > 0:41:07Oh, and there you were saying that was the one

0:41:07 > 0:41:09you were going to put last cos it was right.

0:41:09 > 0:41:10You did incredibly well,

0:41:10 > 0:41:13but I'm afraid you just didn't manage to find that all-important

0:41:13 > 0:41:15pointless answer so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot

0:41:15 > 0:41:18of £10,250. That will roll over onto the next show,

0:41:18 > 0:41:21but you have been fabulous right across both shows you've been on.

0:41:21 > 0:41:24It's been wonderful having you on and you each get to take home

0:41:24 > 0:41:26- a Pointless trophy.- That's all we came for.- So, there you are.

0:41:26 > 0:41:28Very well done.

0:41:33 > 0:41:35And not a bad category to go for as well, actually,

0:41:35 > 0:41:37there's some questions you could have got there. You did well.

0:41:37 > 0:41:39No Kaipur - there's Jaipur, of course,

0:41:39 > 0:41:41which would have scored you 11 points.

0:41:41 > 0:41:43There's also Raipur, which would have been a pointless answer.

0:41:43 > 0:41:46It would have won you the money, but no Kaipur, I'm afraid.

0:41:46 > 0:41:48Bengal, that's a historical region of India,

0:41:48 > 0:41:50not a state capital, unfortunately.

0:41:50 > 0:41:52Let's take a look at some of the pointless answers

0:41:52 > 0:41:54for the Indian state capitals.

0:41:54 > 0:41:56Dispur, which is the capital of Assam.

0:41:56 > 0:41:58Gandhinagar, which is the capital of Gujarat.

0:41:58 > 0:42:00Now, Panaji is the capital of Goa,

0:42:00 > 0:42:02which you were trying to think of, is a pointless answer.

0:42:02 > 0:42:05Puducherry a pointless answer.

0:42:05 > 0:42:07In fact, everything apart from Mumbai, Delhi, Jaipur,

0:42:07 > 0:42:11Bangalore, Chennai, Lucknow, Kolkata, Chandigarh and Hyderabad.

0:42:11 > 0:42:13Everything else was a pointless answer

0:42:13 > 0:42:14so very well done if you got one at home.

0:42:14 > 0:42:18The capital cities, now, of landlocked Asian countries.

0:42:18 > 0:42:19Ashgabat, which is Turkmenistan.

0:42:19 > 0:42:22Baku, which is Azerbaijan.

0:42:22 > 0:42:23Bhutan's capital Thimphu

0:42:23 > 0:42:26and Yerevan, which is Armenia,

0:42:26 > 0:42:28also Vientiane, which is the capital of Laos.

0:42:28 > 0:42:30So, very well done if you got one of those five,

0:42:30 > 0:42:32those are the pointless answers there.

0:42:32 > 0:42:34The currencies, this is the hardest one, I think,

0:42:34 > 0:42:36but well done if you said the afghani,

0:42:36 > 0:42:37which is from Afghanistan, of course.

0:42:37 > 0:42:39The tugrik is Mongolia,

0:42:39 > 0:42:40the som is Kyrgyzstan

0:42:40 > 0:42:43and the kip is Laos.

0:42:43 > 0:42:45Very, very well done if you got any of those at home.

0:42:45 > 0:42:47Those were tough ones, but hopefully none of those

0:42:47 > 0:42:48rang too much of a bell.

0:42:48 > 0:42:50The capital cities, if you had a bit more time...

0:42:50 > 0:42:53It's thinking of the -stans was the real secret there.

0:42:53 > 0:42:55Thanks very much, Richard.

0:42:55 > 0:42:58Well, Sandy and Jenny very sadly didn't win our jackpot today,

0:42:58 > 0:43:00which means it rolls over onto the next show,

0:43:00 > 0:43:01when we will be playing for...

0:43:05 > 0:43:07Join us then to see if someone can win it.

0:43:07 > 0:43:10- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.

0:43:10 > 0:43:12And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
