0:00:12 > 0:00:15APPLAUSE
0:00:20 > 0:00:22Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:24 > 0:00:27the show that makes big winners out of the lowest scorers.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29Let's meet today's players.
0:00:33 > 0:00:34And couple number one.
0:00:34 > 0:00:38Hi, I'm Steve and this is my son Chris, and we're from Dover in Kent.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41- Couple number two.- Hi, my name is Ray. This is my partner Lup.
0:00:41 > 0:00:42We're from south London.
0:00:42 > 0:00:43Couple number three.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46Hello, my name's Natalie and I'm from Hitchin in Hertfordshire,
0:00:46 > 0:00:49and this is my sister Deborah, from Surrey.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52- And finally, couple number four. - Hello, I'm Ruth.
0:00:52 > 0:00:53This is Frank, my friend,
0:00:53 > 0:00:56and we live in a little village near Bridgwater.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59And these are today's contestants.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Thanks very much to all of you.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04We'll get to chat to each of you throughout the show
0:01:04 > 0:01:05as it goes along.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08So, that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10We could only afford an intellectual minnow,
0:01:10 > 0:01:12but we've hooked a great white shark.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15We're going to need a bigger float. It's my Pointless friend, Richard.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Hiya! Hey, everybody!
0:01:18 > 0:01:21- Good afternoon to you.- And to you.
0:01:21 > 0:01:22Now, the small matter of that last show.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25We've got three returning pairs from that show.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Simon and Leila the only people from that show who are not here
0:01:27 > 0:01:31and that's cos they took home that £8,500, didn't they?
0:01:31 > 0:01:33It's one of those very serendipitous moments.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36It does happen sometimes and it couldn't happen to a nicer couple.
0:01:36 > 0:01:37They were absolutely over the moon
0:01:37 > 0:01:41and a terrific performance as well, and, yeah, £8,500,
0:01:41 > 0:01:44but you know what, mo' money, mo' problems, as we say.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47- Very nice to have a very small jackpot.- Isn't it nice?- Yes.
0:01:47 > 0:01:52- So much more refreshing, isn't it? - It's a suit jacket or something.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55It looks gaudy with £8,500 stuffed into it, whereas with a grand,
0:01:55 > 0:01:57you can just about get away with it.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00So I think this is a show for the better-dressed contestant.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02- I think that's more useful, isn't it?- Well said.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:02:04 > 0:02:09Yes, Leila and Simon won the jackpot so today's jackpot starts off at...
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Now, remember this - the pair with the highest score
0:02:19 > 0:02:23at the end of each round will be eliminated.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25No conferring till we get to our head-to-head round.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28Best of luck to all four pairs. Our first category today...
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Africa.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:02:34 > 0:02:36who's going to go second?
0:02:36 > 0:02:38And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:02:43 > 0:02:48We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:02:53 > 0:02:55..as they could.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59Any African country ending in a vowel. Richard.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Yeah, we're specifically looking for any member of the African Union,
0:03:02 > 0:03:04any country that's a member of the African Union
0:03:04 > 0:03:06whose name ends A, E, I, O or U, please.
0:03:06 > 0:03:07As always, by country,
0:03:07 > 0:03:10we mean the sovereign state that's a member of the UN in its own right.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13Thanks very much indeed. Now, Chris, welcome back.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16- Well, we didn't see much of you last time.- No.
0:03:16 > 0:03:17- It was a Round One departure.- Yes.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19But we discovered you've been working
0:03:19 > 0:03:20on the cross-channel ferries.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22- We did, yeah.- We discovered that.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25- Quite keen to go to work for the police.- Yeah, that's the plan.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28That's the plan. What are your hobbies, Chris?
0:03:28 > 0:03:31I play football. I like watching football as well.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Big Liverpool fan, as you can tell from the southern accent.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35LAUGHTER
0:03:35 > 0:03:38OK, and how are we feeling about African geography?
0:03:38 > 0:03:43- Erm, not too bad. Better than the last show, so...- OK.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46OK, always tough having to go first in these rounds.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48What would you like to go for?
0:03:48 > 0:03:53- I think I'm going to go for Cape Verde.- Cape Verde.
0:03:53 > 0:03:54OK, let's see if that's right.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58Let's see how many of our 100 people said Cape Verde.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02It's right.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06I think this might be rather good.
0:04:06 > 0:04:07Let's have a look.
0:04:07 > 0:04:08Oh, and it is! CHEERING
0:04:08 > 0:04:10It happens to be a pointless answer, Chris.
0:04:10 > 0:04:11Very well done indeed.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15That adds £250 to today's jackpot, taking the total up to...
0:04:17 > 0:04:19It scores you nothing and gets you off to a rollicking start.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22- What about that? - Yeah, that is great stuff.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25Very well played, terrific answer and also if everybody does that,
0:04:25 > 0:04:28we'll soon get back up to £8,500.
0:04:28 > 0:04:29It'll be absolutely fine.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Yeah, Cabo Verde it's now called.
0:04:31 > 0:04:36We're in a period now where we still accept Cape Verde. We won't always.
0:04:36 > 0:04:41- I suppose we won't.- No, because it's officially changed its name.- Yeah.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43There's other countries which are trying to change their name.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46I wish they wouldn't, cos it makes the admin so much more complicated.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49I know. There we are. LAUGHTER
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Ray, welcome back. Remind us what you do, Ray.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54I'm a business manager for the English health care regulators.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56That's right. And what do you like doing
0:04:56 > 0:04:58- when you're not doing that, Ray? - I am...
0:04:58 > 0:05:00I've dropped it for a little bit,
0:05:00 > 0:05:02but I'm trying to pick up my 10K assault courses.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05- I like to do those. - 10K assault courses?- Yes.
0:05:05 > 0:05:09But, Ray, what kind of assault courses are they over 10Ks?
0:05:09 > 0:05:13Well, the last one was cracking the ice in lakes to swim through them,
0:05:13 > 0:05:18- climbing up waterfalls, jumping over horse jumps.- Over 10km, though?- Yes.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21But this is madness, Ray.
0:05:21 > 0:05:26Tell me, what's the hardest obstacle you have to climb over or...?
0:05:26 > 0:05:28I think it was at a racecourse.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32- We literally had to jump over the horse jumps.- What, all of them?- Yep.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35- Sounds like a lot of fun, doesn't it(?)- It does!
0:05:35 > 0:05:37I can see why you're itching to get back to it, Ray.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40But before you do that, let's have an answer from you.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44Bit of a risk, but why not? And I hope I have the right title.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47I have a friend from the Democratic Republic of Congo.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49The Democratic Republic of Congo.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said that.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56It's right.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Look at that, 6. Very well done, Ray.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Lovely low-scoring start to the round.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Yeah, good work from everybody.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12Well done, the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Ends in an O.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15So it does! Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:06:15 > 0:06:20Deb, welcome to Pointless. Great to have you here. What do you do, Deb?
0:06:20 > 0:06:25We've got a family business - dental equipment. The chairs, X-rays...
0:06:25 > 0:06:29Oh, that's the fun dental equipment! X-ray machine...
0:06:29 > 0:06:33- Yeah, they go and fix them if they break.- But the chair...
0:06:33 > 0:06:34Oh, what fun!
0:06:34 > 0:06:38You sell that all over the country, all over the world?
0:06:38 > 0:06:41- The UK.- The UK, I see. Very good indeed.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Now, what are your hobbies, Deb?
0:06:43 > 0:06:46Well, I only do the 5K assault course.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Have you been around a racecourse?
0:06:49 > 0:06:54- No, I potter around in my garden. - Oh, that's nice.
0:06:54 > 0:06:55Yeah, nothing like...
0:06:57 > 0:06:59There we are. Deb, what would you like to go for?
0:06:59 > 0:07:05- Erm, I'm going to try Leso...tho. - "Lesotho," says Deb.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of out 100 people said it.
0:07:08 > 0:07:09Lesotho.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14It's right. These are all excellent answers.
0:07:16 > 0:07:196 is our highest score, 0 is our low. 10 for Lesotho.
0:07:22 > 0:07:2610 for Lesotho. Time was when Lesotho was way down at the bottom.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29We have done a lot of good work for Lesotho and some of the other...
0:07:29 > 0:07:32One answer that we can mention cos it's not in this round,
0:07:32 > 0:07:33Central African Republic. Can you imagine?
0:07:33 > 0:07:36They'll be right up there these days.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38If this was African Union countries ending in C,
0:07:38 > 0:07:40it'd be through the roof.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42We'd have to build a new column.
0:07:42 > 0:07:43LAUGHTER
0:07:43 > 0:07:46- Ruth, welcome back.- Thank you.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Remind us what you like getting up to, Ruth.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Well, I sing in my church choir,
0:07:51 > 0:07:55but I also do a lot of boot sale-ing for my charity.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Selling stuff or going round and...?
0:07:57 > 0:08:02- I do stuff in a big way.- Wow! Tell me what kind of stuff.- Anything.
0:08:02 > 0:08:07If you fancy a wet suit or... I've got everything in my house.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Wow! How many boot sales' worth?
0:08:10 > 0:08:14I used to be able to do two or three a week,
0:08:14 > 0:08:16but I'm a bit older now
0:08:16 > 0:08:20so I only usually get to do two at the most in a week.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23And very satisfying to raise money for your charity as well.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27- Oh, yeah.- Good for you, Ruth. Now, what would you like to go for?
0:08:27 > 0:08:31- I am going to go with Mali. - "Mali," says Ruth.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35Let's see how many of our 100 people went with Mali.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41It's right. Nothing is our low score, 10 is our high.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45Look at that, 14 for Mali.
0:08:49 > 0:08:50That's a great answer, Ruth.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Mali in West Africa ends with an I, of course.
0:08:53 > 0:08:54Thank you very much.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57We're halfway through the round, let's take a look at those scores.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Going up in increments of four from Podium Two on,
0:08:59 > 0:09:01but we start off at nothing.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Very well done indeed, Chris and Steve.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05What a strong start to the show.
0:09:05 > 0:09:096 is where we find Ray and Lup, 10 is where we find Deb and Natalie
0:09:09 > 0:09:11and 14 is where we find Ruth and Frank.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Now, Frank, as a career soldier,
0:09:13 > 0:09:16I am hoping you will have some fantastic answers here.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18But we're going to come back down the line now.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:09:23 > 0:09:26So, Frank, as I say, African countries ending in a vowel.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29We discovered last time that you are a retired soldier, Frank.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32Tell us about the other things you like getting up to.
0:09:32 > 0:09:37I do a lot of writing, I do a lot of am dram, I've got an allotment.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41Chairman of the village hall, you know, just a good village man.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43- An all-round good egg, Frank.- Yes.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46Sounds to me like you're more from the comic end of writing.
0:09:46 > 0:09:47Is that right? Is that fair to say?
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Yep, I write anything that makes people smile.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53And what have you got on at the moment? What are you working on?
0:09:53 > 0:09:55We're just getting together another village panto.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58It takes a long time, as you can imagine.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00Do you work on a sort of general model
0:10:00 > 0:10:03or do you fill it with lots of local gags?
0:10:03 > 0:10:05I have a look round the village and see.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08I'm a bit like the girl in The Archers, you know.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12I skate round the village saying, "How are you fixed for the panto?"
0:10:12 > 0:10:15People see me coming, they cross the street.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17So, it depends who I can get!
0:10:17 > 0:10:21I see. Now, Frank, there you are on 14. You're the high-scorers.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Not by any margin, but you are the high-scorers
0:10:24 > 0:10:27so we need a particularly low and obscure answer from you.
0:10:27 > 0:10:28I'm torn, really.
0:10:28 > 0:10:34I was stationed in one of these places. I'm going to say Ethiopia.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36"Ethiopia," says Frank.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39No red line for you cos you're the high-scorers at the moment,
0:10:39 > 0:10:41but let's see how many of our 100 people said Ethiopia.
0:10:49 > 0:10:5125.
0:10:51 > 0:10:5439 is your total.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58Yes, the most populated landlocked country in the world, Ethiopia.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Hmm!
0:11:00 > 0:11:03So, essentially, Ethiopia's got the most people in its population
0:11:03 > 0:11:05who are not in the navy of any country in the world.
0:11:05 > 0:11:06LAUGHTER
0:11:06 > 0:11:10Yeah, thank you very much, Richard. Natalie, welcome to Pointless.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14- Thank you.- What do you do, Natalie? - I work for a letting agency.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16- Do you show people round properties? - Yes.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20- Is it commercial or residential? - No, residential.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23- And where do you do that? - In Stevenage in Hertfordshire.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27It also means you know that locale incredibly well, doesn't it,
0:11:27 > 0:11:29and you must know all the people -
0:11:29 > 0:11:31who lives there, how long they've been there.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33- Yes.- That's fun, though, isn't it?
0:11:33 > 0:11:39- Yes, no day's the same.- Yeah, I bet! Now, you're on 10, Natalie.
0:11:39 > 0:11:40The high-scorers are behind you,
0:11:40 > 0:11:42Ruth and Frank on 39,
0:11:42 > 0:11:45so 28 or less keeps you in the game.
0:11:45 > 0:11:49Erm, I've got a couple.
0:11:49 > 0:11:50One is a bit risky
0:11:50 > 0:11:53so I think I'll go with Namibia.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55"Namibia," says Natalie. Well, here is your red line.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57Below that, you're into Round Two.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00Let's see how many of our 100 said Namibia.
0:12:02 > 0:12:03It's right.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10Very well done. Through you go, just.
0:12:10 > 0:12:1122 is what you score,
0:12:11 > 0:12:1332 is your total.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Well done, Natalie. You did exactly what you needed to do there,
0:12:15 > 0:12:18safely through to the next round. Well played.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Now, Lup - it's another great shirt from Lup.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24Either that or your scrambled egg
0:12:24 > 0:12:27didn't quite make the journey this morning.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Lup, remind us what you do, Lup.
0:12:30 > 0:12:31I'm an IT project manager.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34That's right, and tell us about your interests.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36I'm into photography,
0:12:36 > 0:12:38in particular macrophotography.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Now, tell us what that is.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43That's sort of real close-ups of insects and flowers and things.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46For which you need super-duper long lenses?
0:12:46 > 0:12:48There is a cheap way of doing it
0:12:48 > 0:12:49where you reverse the lens,
0:12:49 > 0:12:51so you can get an adaptor ring,
0:12:51 > 0:12:53and it reverses the lens on the camera
0:12:53 > 0:12:55so you can get in real close to your subject.
0:12:55 > 0:12:56That's amazing!
0:12:56 > 0:12:58How fantastic!
0:12:58 > 0:13:00So, what's the smallest scale thing you've ever done?
0:13:00 > 0:13:03Well, you can see the fangs on spiders
0:13:03 > 0:13:06and the hairs on the backs of their bodies.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Have you ever scared yourself?
0:13:08 > 0:13:10No, I like spiders.
0:13:10 > 0:13:11I remember the very first time
0:13:11 > 0:13:15looking through a stereomicroscope at a fruit fly
0:13:15 > 0:13:18and just being so scared.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21It was just too much!
0:13:21 > 0:13:22Anyway, Lup, you're on 6.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Lovely low score from Ray in the first part.
0:13:24 > 0:13:29- 39 is the highest score, which means 32 or less gets you through.- OK.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31I'm going to play it relatively safe
0:13:31 > 0:13:34and go with Eritrea.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36"Eritrea," says Lup.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40Here is your red line. Let's see if you can get below that with Eritrea.
0:13:40 > 0:13:41How many of our 100 people said it?
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Very well done.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51You have done it, 13 is your score there,
0:13:51 > 0:13:53taking your total up to 19.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55Lovely low total. Through you go.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58Great answer, Lup, safely through to the next round.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02Thank you very much indeed, Richard. Steve, welcome back.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05- Remind us what you do, Steve.- I'm a music retailer.- A music retailer.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09So you have an online music... Does that mean you can work from home?
0:14:09 > 0:14:11No, we do pay for an office.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13We work from a lovely converted Kent barn
0:14:13 > 0:14:16just on the outskirts of Dover - myself and my wife
0:14:16 > 0:14:21and my other son - who are running the office today - work with me.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24- And your interests are musical as well.- Very much so, yeah.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27- Tell us about those again. - I have three choirs that I conduct.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29One is the local choral society,
0:14:29 > 0:14:32one is the church choir and another one is a chamber choir
0:14:32 > 0:14:36of about 20-22 voices, which I started myself back in 2003.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40Very nice indeed. Now, Steve, Chris has set you up immaculately.
0:14:40 > 0:14:41He has put the pressure on.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45It'd be quite nice to bookend this round with another pointless answer
0:14:45 > 0:14:46is what I'm thinking, Steve.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49Well, I don't want to let him down so I'll do my best.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52I'm going to try Burundi.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56Well, 38 is your target, 38 or less keeps you in the game.
0:14:56 > 0:15:00Burundi - there's your red line. How many of our 100 people said it?
0:15:06 > 0:15:07Very well done,
0:15:07 > 0:15:09you're through to Round Two.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14The second-lowest score of the round.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16There we are, 4 on Podium One, fantastic low total.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18Well played, Steve.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20There were some other pointless answers out there,
0:15:20 > 0:15:21four pointless answers in all.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23We've already had Cape Verde or Cabo Verde.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26You also could have had Guinea-Bissau, Sao Tome and Principe
0:15:26 > 0:15:28and Equatorial Guinea.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30All of those were pointless answers.
0:15:30 > 0:15:34One point for Djibouti and three points for Togo, Cote d'Ivoire,
0:15:34 > 0:15:37Guinea and Mauritania. They were the best answers out there.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Let's take a look at the top three answers,
0:15:39 > 0:15:41the ones that most of our 100 people said.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Thank you very much indeed. So, at the end of our first round,
0:15:50 > 0:15:53the pair that we have to say goodbye to, I'm so sorry,
0:15:53 > 0:15:57with their high score of 39, Ruth and Frank, I'm afraid it is you.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00I'm so sorry. Nothing wrong with either of your answers,
0:16:00 > 0:16:02they were just quite high-scoring,
0:16:02 > 0:16:04so I'm afraid we have to say goodbye,
0:16:04 > 0:16:06but it's been wonderful having you here, Ruth and Frank.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08- APPLAUSE - Well done.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13Right, for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20And so three pairs remain.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22At this end of this round, we'll be down to two pairs,
0:16:22 > 0:16:24but very well done, everyone.
0:16:24 > 0:16:29Lovely low-scoring in that round, particular praise to Chris, though.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Very good, lovely pointless answer there,
0:16:31 > 0:16:34swelling up our jackpot a little bit there, which is great.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38Best of luck to all three pairs. Our category for Round Two today is...
0:16:40 > 0:16:41Cinematic Poetry.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Can you all decide in your pairs
0:16:43 > 0:16:45who's going to first, who's going to go second
0:16:45 > 0:16:47and whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53OK, and the question concerns...
0:16:57 > 0:16:58Films In Haiku, Richard.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00Yeah, on each board, we're going to give you six descriptions
0:17:00 > 0:17:02of films all written as haikus.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06Japanese poems of five syllables, seven syllables, five syllables.
0:17:06 > 0:17:07It's something we like to do.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Six on the first board, six on the second -
0:17:09 > 0:17:10just guess the film, please.
0:17:10 > 0:17:1312 in all to have a go at at home - the very best of luck.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16OK, so which are the films described by these haikus?
0:17:16 > 0:17:17And here's our first board of six.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53I'm going to read these beautiful poems out again.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23There we are. Chris.
0:18:23 > 0:18:28Yes. It's not bad.
0:18:28 > 0:18:29There's a few that I probably know,
0:18:29 > 0:18:31but actually none that I definitely know.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35I think the bottom one is Boyhood.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38"Boyhood," says Chris.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people got it.
0:18:43 > 0:18:44It is Boyhood.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48Very good indeed.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52Look at that, 17. That's a great score. Well done, Chris.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Good work, Chris. Chris is having a good show, isn't he?
0:18:57 > 0:19:00Yeah, very nicely done. It's a beautiful film, have you seen it?
0:19:00 > 0:19:02He literally films it over 12 years
0:19:02 > 0:19:04so all of the cast grow older as it goes on.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07- It's really, really good. - We've got it, I haven't seen it.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09Thank you very much indeed.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12Ray, what would you like to go for?
0:19:12 > 0:19:16The only one I knew, so I'm going to have to take a bit of a guess.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18I think I saw it a while ago.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22The room of jurors, Henry Fonda - 12 Angry Men.
0:19:22 > 0:19:23!"12 Angry Men," says Ray.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26Let's see if that's right ad how many of our 100 people got that.
0:19:28 > 0:19:33It is 12 Angry Men, let's see where you end up. 17 for Boyhood.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40Well played. Yeah, I went to see that in the cinema very recently.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43They were re-showing it. Absolutely sensational.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46The script of that, it's wonderful.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48One of the best scripts ever written.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52Thank you very much, Richard. Now, Deb, this board's all yours.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Would you like to go through our haikus?
0:19:54 > 0:19:57Well, that was going to be my one. I agree, it's a great film, isn't it?
0:19:57 > 0:20:01I think the first one's Groundhog Day.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03I don't know what the dude wants.
0:20:03 > 0:20:08The Jeff Goldblum is the Fly, and Singing In The Rain.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12I'll say Singing In The Rain.
0:20:12 > 0:20:13"Singing In The Rain," says Deb.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16Let's see how many of our 100 people got that.
0:20:19 > 0:20:20It's right.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31Yeah, you picked the perfect one of the ones you knew there.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34That was the lowest scorer of the answers you gave so well done.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Very well done if you said that at home.
0:20:54 > 0:20:55Thank you very much indeed.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57OK, we're halfway through the round
0:20:57 > 0:21:00so let's take a look at those scores. 17, Chris, very well done.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02Steve and Chris looking very strong for the next round.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04Then we go up in increments of nine - up to 26,
0:21:04 > 0:21:07where we find Ray and Lup, then up to 35
0:21:07 > 0:21:09where we find Deb and Natalie so, Natalie, not far ahead,
0:21:09 > 0:21:11but ahead. You know what you need to do.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13We're going to come back down the line now.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:21:18 > 0:21:21OK, let's put six more haikus up on the board and here they come.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53I'll read them again.
0:22:20 > 0:22:25Natalie, we need a low score from you.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Oh, Natalie, are you not liking this board?
0:22:28 > 0:22:30No, I preferred the first one!
0:22:30 > 0:22:32- Oh, I'm sorry.- Erm...
0:22:34 > 0:22:39I'm going to go for Wilson and Stiller - Zoolander.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41"Zoolander," says Natalie.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43No red line for you cos you're the high-scorers.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46Let's see how many of our 100 people said Zoolander.
0:22:48 > 0:22:49It's right.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54- Oh!- Not bad, 44 for Zoolander.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56It takes your total up to...
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Yeah, it keeps you in the game. They released a sequel as well,
0:23:00 > 0:23:03Zoolander 2, which I'm going to say was less good than Zoolander.
0:23:03 > 0:23:07- This is what I gather. I haven't seen it, probably won't rush.- Yeah.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10Erm, Lup.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14Lup, you now have a target in the shape of 52.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16What would you like to go for?
0:23:16 > 0:23:18I'm trying to think which one's going to be lowest.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20I think I'm going to try the tiny door one
0:23:20 > 0:23:23and that is Being John Malkovich.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25Being John Malkovich," says Lup. Here is your red line.
0:23:25 > 0:23:29Get below that red line and you are through to the next round.
0:23:29 > 0:23:33Let's see how many of our 100 people said Being John Malkovich.
0:23:39 > 0:23:40Yup, that's good enough.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45It takes your total to...
0:23:45 > 0:23:49Well played, Lup. Yes, the Cusack in question being John Cusack.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51John Malkovich also in the film.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53Thank you. Now, Steve...
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Steve, this board is all yours.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58If you want to go through our haikus and provide all the answers,
0:23:58 > 0:24:00you'd be most welcome.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02Erm, there's a few I know.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04I'm guessing the second one is The Shining.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08The third one is one of the Indiana Jones films
0:24:08 > 0:24:12and the bottom one, I think, is Pulp Fiction.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15And I think I'm going to go with Pulp Fiction.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17OK, 61 is your target.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19Here is your red line.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22Get below that with Pulp Fiction and you are through to the head-to-head.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24How many people said Pulp Fiction?
0:24:29 > 0:24:33Oh, yes, I bet you weren't the only person to do that.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35LAUGHTER
0:24:35 > 0:24:39That 100 points, Steve, takes your total up to 117.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42Ah, the look on Chris' face!
0:24:44 > 0:24:48Ah, he was not happy one bit. It's not Pulp Fiction. Chris, it is...
0:24:48 > 0:24:51- Reservoir Dogs. - Reservoir Dogs.- Oh, man!
0:25:09 > 0:25:11Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17It was the best answer so well done if you said that.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19So, at the end of our second round,
0:25:19 > 0:25:22I'm afraid the pair we send home with the high score of 117,
0:25:22 > 0:25:23very much against the grain of play,
0:25:23 > 0:25:26but, Steve and Chris, I am afraid it is you.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28I'm so sorry to be sending you home so early,
0:25:28 > 0:25:31but you did brilliantly so far and you've left your mark on the game
0:25:31 > 0:25:34with your addition to the jackpot there,
0:25:34 > 0:25:36but thank you so much, Steve and Chris.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38APPLAUSE
0:25:40 > 0:25:42But for Ray and Lup, Natalie and Deb,
0:25:42 > 0:25:44it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52Well, congratulations, Ray and Lup, Natalie and Deb.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54You are now one step closer to the final
0:25:54 > 0:25:56and a chance to play for our jackpot,
0:25:56 > 0:25:57which currently stands at...
0:25:58 > 0:26:00Well, we have made it as far as the head-to-head,
0:26:00 > 0:26:02for which congratulations.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04From here on in, you can play as a team.
0:26:04 > 0:26:05You can chat before you give your answers.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07The first place to win two questions in this round
0:26:07 > 0:26:10will be going through to play for that jackpot in the final.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13Now, Ray and Lup, you've been here before and you were standing
0:26:13 > 0:26:16right there as our low scorers. It was whipped away.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20Natalie and Deb, they've been very good. It could happen again.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22I wonder! It's going to be very exciting.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28APPLAUSE
0:26:30 > 0:26:33OK, here comes your first question and it concerns...
0:26:37 > 0:26:38Richard.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40We're going to show you five pictures
0:26:40 > 0:26:42of historic events that happened during the 20th century.
0:26:42 > 0:26:46We need you to name the decade in which these happened, please.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48Thanks very much.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50So, in which decades did these historic events happen?
0:27:23 > 0:27:26Ray and Lup, you are our low-scorers so you will go first.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33THEY WHISPER
0:27:35 > 0:27:38It's a risk, but E -
0:27:38 > 0:27:40around the 1930s.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43The 1930s.
0:27:43 > 0:27:441930s for E.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46OK, now, Natalie and Deb,
0:27:46 > 0:27:49do you want to talk us through all those other events?
0:27:49 > 0:27:51Well, we think the '50s.
0:27:51 > 0:27:55Nixon will either be '60s or '70s, probably.
0:27:55 > 0:27:59We think that's probably the Antarctic, the 1910s.
0:27:59 > 0:28:05D is the 1960s and I think the Jarrow March is the '20s.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08- Do you want to go for that? - Go on, then.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11Can we say the '20s for the Jarrow...
0:28:11 > 0:28:13You can say it together, if you like.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15You're going to go for the '20s for the Jarrow March.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18OK, so, Ray and Lup, you've gone for the 1930s.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20Let's see if that's right for E.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22Well, let's just see if it's right.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29- It is...- Oh!- ..the 1930s.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39That's taken a little bit of jeopardy out of this next...
0:28:39 > 0:28:41Just a little bit, but there we are.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44Natalie and Deb, let's see what happens when we say...
0:28:44 > 0:28:46Maybe it's a very long march.
0:28:47 > 0:28:51Let's see what happens when we say the 1920s. I have a hunch.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55Yes, that's what I thought might happen. There we are.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58Very well done, Ray and Lup, worth taking that risk.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00That means after one question, you're up 1-0.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02Yeah, the Jarrow March was in 1936.
0:29:02 > 0:29:05I think you were maybe thinking of the General Strike in '26,
0:29:05 > 0:29:08- maybe, and getting them... - Maybe that's it.- Funnily enough,
0:29:08 > 0:29:10there's one answer on the board that would have beaten it
0:29:10 > 0:29:13and that is C, which is Amundsen reaching the South Pole,
0:29:13 > 0:29:14which was the 1910s.
0:29:17 > 0:29:19And you were right about the others.
0:29:39 > 0:29:40Thanks very much, Richard.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42So, here comes your second question, Natalie and Deb.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44You know what you have to do here,
0:29:44 > 0:29:46but you get to answer it first, which is good.
0:29:46 > 0:29:47So, best of luck with that.
0:29:47 > 0:29:51Our second question is all about...
0:29:52 > 0:29:53It's all about sheep.
0:29:53 > 0:29:56Yeah, just five clues to facts about sheep now.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58Can you give us the most obscure answer?
0:29:58 > 0:30:01Let's reveal our five clues and here they are.
0:30:22 > 0:30:23I'm going to read all of those again.
0:30:40 > 0:30:41There we are.
0:30:41 > 0:30:42Natalie and Deb will go first.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45It could be New Zealand.
0:30:45 > 0:30:46What should I go for?
0:30:46 > 0:30:47Go for the stomachs?
0:30:50 > 0:30:53We're going to try the stomachs and say four.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56"Four stomachs," say Natalie and Deb.
0:30:56 > 0:31:01Now, then, Ray and Lup, what would you like to go for?
0:31:01 > 0:31:03Talk us through that board.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06The country's either New Zealand or Australia, I think.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09Adult female sheep is a ewe.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12Star sign is Aries
0:31:12 > 0:31:16and the Aardman Animation is Shaun the Sheep.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18Let's go with the Aardman Animation,
0:31:18 > 0:31:20Shaun the Sheep.
0:31:20 > 0:31:24OK, "Shaun," say Ray and Lup. So we've got four and we've got Shaun.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26Natalie and Deb said four stomachs.
0:31:26 > 0:31:27Let's see if that's right,
0:31:27 > 0:31:31let's see how many of our 100 people said four.
0:31:33 > 0:31:34It's right.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38It is four stomachs.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42APPLAUSE
0:31:45 > 0:31:47Ray and Lup, meanwhile, have gone for Shaun the Sheep.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50Let's see if that's right and let's see how many people said it.
0:31:52 > 0:31:53It's right.
0:31:55 > 0:31:5855. Very well done. Natalie and Deb, you're back in the game.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01After two questions it's 1-1.
0:32:01 > 0:32:02Yeah, good head-to-head it is.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04There's only one answer that would have beaten that.
0:32:04 > 0:32:07The name given to an adult female sheep is a ewe.
0:32:07 > 0:32:08That's a big scorer.
0:32:08 > 0:32:1082 points for that.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13The star sign, you're right gents, is Aries, 64 for that.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15Now this other one, if you'd been forced to go for something
0:32:15 > 0:32:17- what would you have gone for? - New Zealand.
0:32:17 > 0:32:1944 of our 100 said New Zealand
0:32:19 > 0:32:21and they were wrong.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23One of our 100 got it right
0:32:23 > 0:32:25- cos they said China.- Oh.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28China is the answer to that, which is you think about it makes sense.
0:32:28 > 0:32:29Of course it makes sense.
0:32:29 > 0:32:33- Cos it's big and it's got sheep in it.- Mmm.- Mmm.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35There we are, thank you very much, Richard.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37It all comes down to our third and final question.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39Whoever wins this goes through to the final
0:32:39 > 0:32:41to play for that jackpot. Best of luck to both pairs.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44Our third question is all about...
0:32:45 > 0:32:46Wine Grapes.
0:32:46 > 0:32:47Wine Grapes, Richard.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49We're going to show you five types of wine grape but with
0:32:49 > 0:32:51alternate letters removed from their name.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54Whichever team gives us the most obscure answer is going through
0:32:54 > 0:32:56- to play for that jackpot. - Thank you very much, indeed.
0:32:56 > 0:32:59Let's reveal our five wine grapes with bites taken out.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01And here they are...
0:33:21 > 0:33:24There we go. Ray and Lup will go first.
0:33:32 > 0:33:36We're a bit stuck, so potentially playing it a bit too safe,
0:33:36 > 0:33:37but hopefully...
0:33:38 > 0:33:40Cabernet Sauvignon, the second one.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42OK, you say Cabernet Sauvignon.
0:33:42 > 0:33:46Now, Natalie and Deb, do you want to talk us through that board?
0:33:47 > 0:33:51- We'd rather drink it. - We'd rather drink it.
0:33:51 > 0:33:53Well, it's Merlot...
0:33:54 > 0:33:57- I don't know the next two. - I just can't think.
0:33:57 > 0:33:59The last one's Lambrusco.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03We'll have to go for Lambrusco.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06OK, you're going to go for Lambrusco.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08We have Cabernet Sauvignon and we have Lambrusco.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11Ray and Lup have gone for Cabernet Sauvignon.
0:34:11 > 0:34:14Let's see if that's right, how many of our 100 people got it.
0:34:17 > 0:34:18It's right.
0:34:22 > 0:34:2335
0:34:23 > 0:34:24APPLAUSE
0:34:26 > 0:34:29I wouldn't want to call this, it's going to be very close, I think.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32Natalie and Deb, meanwhile, have gone for Lambrusco.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34Let's see how many of our 100 people got that.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43Oh!
0:34:43 > 0:34:45Couldn't be closer than that!
0:34:45 > 0:34:48My goodness! 36 for Lambrusco.
0:34:48 > 0:34:49Ray and Lup very well done.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52I said this was going to be hard-won.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55There you are up to three questions and there's just one point in it.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57Ray and Lup you are going through to the final, 2-1.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00That's a terrific head-to-head. Well played everybody.
0:35:00 > 0:35:04Um, the biggest scorer up there is the top one, that's Merlot.
0:35:04 > 0:35:05It scored 51.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07The next one down...
0:35:07 > 0:35:09- Shiraz.- Shiraz.- Shiraz, yes.
0:35:09 > 0:35:11Would have scored 18.
0:35:11 > 0:35:1418 would have seen you through to the final.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16And, do you know this next one?
0:35:16 > 0:35:17No.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19It's Nebbiolo.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21Nebbiolo.
0:35:21 > 0:35:23Grown in Piedmont. One point for that.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25Very well done if you said that at home.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27- Very, very well done if you're drinking that at home. - LAUGHTER
0:35:27 > 0:35:29Very good. Thank you very much, indeed.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31The pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:35:31 > 0:35:34I'm afraid, it's Natalie and Deb. It's good news, really,
0:35:34 > 0:35:37because it means you'll be back for the next show, which is great.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39Thanks very much, Natalie and Deb. APPLAUSE
0:35:41 > 0:35:44But for Ray and Lup it's now time for our Pointless final.
0:35:49 > 0:35:50Well, congratulations Ray and Lup.
0:35:50 > 0:35:53You've seen off all the competition and you have won
0:35:53 > 0:35:54our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot,
0:36:02 > 0:36:05and at the end of today's show the jackpot is standing at...
0:36:05 > 0:36:07£1,250.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09Well, congratulations.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11Second time lucky.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13Right the way through to the head-to-head in both cases
0:36:13 > 0:36:16and just one point in it in the third question.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18Well, as always you get to choose your category from the four
0:36:18 > 0:36:20that we put up on the board.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23Let's see what today's selection looks like. We have got...
0:36:32 > 0:36:34- What do you reckon? - New Jersey in popular culture,
0:36:34 > 0:36:37at least it'll be cultural and you'd...
0:36:37 > 0:36:40- It's a chance.- Yeah.- Rugby... - Let's just go for New Jersey.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43New Jersey in popular culture, please.
0:36:43 > 0:36:45OK, New Jersey in popular culture.
0:36:45 > 0:36:46Excellent! It's been on the board for a while
0:36:46 > 0:36:48but nice questions in there.
0:36:48 > 0:36:50I think people are always put off it, but very best of luck.
0:36:50 > 0:36:51Hopefully one of these suits you.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54We're looking for any feature film made for cinema release
0:36:54 > 0:36:57which John Travolta has received an acting credit.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59Born in New Jersey, of course.
0:36:59 > 0:37:04We are looking for any of the 36 main characters in The Sopranos
0:37:04 > 0:37:06as listed on the official HBO website,
0:37:06 > 0:37:10or looking for any of the tracks on the original album release
0:37:10 > 0:37:12of Born In The USA by Bruce Springsteen.
0:37:12 > 0:37:16So John Travolta movies up to the end of December 2015,
0:37:16 > 0:37:19characters in The Sopranos, those main 36 characters
0:37:19 > 0:37:22and tracks on Born In The USA. Very best of luck.
0:37:22 > 0:37:24Thanks, Richard. As always you've got up to one minute
0:37:24 > 0:37:25to come up with three answers.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28All you need to win that jackpot is just one of your answers to
0:37:28 > 0:37:30- be pointless. Are you ready?- Ready.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock. There they are.
0:37:32 > 0:37:34Your time starts now!
0:37:34 > 0:37:37OK, the John Travolta ones, that horror film that you like.
0:37:37 > 0:37:38Carrie. He was in Carrie.
0:37:38 > 0:37:42Er, I don't know either of two other subjects unless you do.
0:37:42 > 0:37:46- No. He was in Pulp Fiction but that's going to be too obvious.- Yes.
0:37:46 > 0:37:49- I'm sticking on John Travolta, to be honest.- Yeah.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56Grease, that's too obvious.
0:37:56 > 0:37:58What was the other, Saturday Night Fever?
0:37:58 > 0:38:01There must be something recent... Swordfish he was in, wasn't he?
0:38:01 > 0:38:04- Swordfish might be a good one, yes. - Swordfish, Carrie...
0:38:04 > 0:38:07- Swordfish, Carrie.- And...
0:38:07 > 0:38:09Um...
0:38:09 > 0:38:11Saturday Night Fever number two.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14- Was there a second one? - Yeah, there was.
0:38:14 > 0:38:15Staying Alive it was called.
0:38:15 > 0:38:17I will say go for that one.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20Staying Alive?
0:38:20 > 0:38:24So we've got Carrie, Swordfish...
0:38:24 > 0:38:25Ten seconds left.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27And, um, Staying Alive.
0:38:27 > 0:38:28OK, I think we're ready.
0:38:28 > 0:38:32OK, there we are, your time is just running out now.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34Let's have your three answers.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36If you can say which category you're answering.
0:38:36 > 0:38:39- We're going to go for all three John Travolta films.- OK.
0:38:39 > 0:38:43- The first one's Carrie.- Carrie. - The second one's Staying Alive.
0:38:43 > 0:38:45- Staying Alive.- And the third one's Swordfish.- Swordfish.
0:38:45 > 0:38:47Of those three which is your best shot at a Pointless answer?
0:38:47 > 0:38:51- Swordfish.- Swordfish.- Swordfish goes last. Least like to be pointless?
0:38:51 > 0:38:53- Staying Alive. - Staying Alive we put first.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55OK, well, let's put those up on the board in that order, then.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57Here they are. We've got...
0:39:01 > 0:39:02Well, very, very best of luck.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04Three good answers on the board there.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07One of those could easily be pointless and might win that jackpot for you.
0:39:07 > 0:39:10What would you do with it, £1,250?
0:39:11 > 0:39:15I'd like to continue my travelling and I fancy going to Japan,
0:39:15 > 0:39:18- so it'll go towards a flight to Japan, I think.- Very good.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20Ray, how about you?
0:39:20 > 0:39:22I'm a bit of a techie type of person so I'd like to have
0:39:22 > 0:39:24a cloud AV system in the house
0:39:24 > 0:39:26so I can watch whatever I want in any room of the house.
0:39:26 > 0:39:29- I want to invest in one of those. - OK.
0:39:29 > 0:39:30Well, very, very best of luck.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33Your first answer was Staying Alive.
0:39:33 > 0:39:35In all three cases we were looking for John Travolta films.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38If this is pointless it wins you £1,250.
0:39:38 > 0:39:40How many people said Staying Alive?
0:39:43 > 0:39:45It's right.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47It's right. Now let's see how far down the column we get.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50If it goes all the way down to zero you leave with £1,250.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52Staying Alive goes through the teens.
0:39:52 > 0:39:54Into single figures, still going down.
0:39:54 > 0:39:55- Down it goes.- Oh!- 3. Look at that.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57APPLAUSE
0:39:57 > 0:39:59Very exciting, indeed.
0:39:59 > 0:40:02That's a great answer. What a great score.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04Sadly not a pointless answer though.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06And only pointless answers count in this round.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09We have to go back to the board and see what your next answer was.
0:40:09 > 0:40:10Carrie.
0:40:10 > 0:40:12Again looking for John Travolta films.
0:40:12 > 0:40:15If this is pointless, it wins you £1,250.
0:40:15 > 0:40:16How many people said Carrie?
0:40:20 > 0:40:21Well, again, it is right.
0:40:21 > 0:40:24Staying Alive took us all the way down to 3.
0:40:24 > 0:40:26Carrie takes us through the 30s and the 20s.
0:40:26 > 0:40:30Down through the teens, is it going into single figures? Yes.
0:40:30 > 0:40:31Still going down, down it goes...
0:40:31 > 0:40:33- Down to 2.- Oh! - APPLAUSE
0:40:33 > 0:40:35Fantastic!
0:40:37 > 0:40:40This is all moving in the right direction, surely.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43Looking very good for your third and final answer.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45Everything is riding on Swordfish.
0:40:45 > 0:40:49Once again we are looking for John Travolta films.
0:40:49 > 0:40:53Let's find out how many people said Swordfish for £1,250.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55Is it pointless?
0:40:59 > 0:41:01It's a third correct answer.
0:41:01 > 0:41:03So far we've had Staying Alive taking us down to 3,
0:41:03 > 0:41:05Carrie took us down to 2.
0:41:05 > 0:41:08Swordfish now takes us down into the teens.
0:41:08 > 0:41:09Down into single figures again.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12Down we go... Oh, no, 4. AUDIENCE GROANS
0:41:12 > 0:41:14APPLAUSE
0:41:15 > 0:41:17Oh, that was exciting.
0:41:17 > 0:41:18Three brilliant answers there.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22I'm afraid you didn't manage to find that pointless answer,
0:41:22 > 0:41:25so we can't give you today's jackpot of £1,250.
0:41:25 > 0:41:27That rolls over onto the next show, but what
0:41:27 > 0:41:29a great performance across both shows.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32Our low-scorers in each head-to-head you were in.
0:41:32 > 0:41:35And you get a Pointless trophy each to take home in recognition
0:41:35 > 0:41:38of that, but I'm sorry you didn't get to take home the jackpot.
0:41:38 > 0:41:41Very well done, Ray and Lup. APPLAUSE
0:41:44 > 0:41:46Yeah, three very nice answers there and thank you for going for
0:41:46 > 0:41:48that category, as well. It was quite nice,
0:41:48 > 0:41:50wasn't it? It wasn't a terrible one.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52Some people at home will have got pointless answers,
0:41:52 > 0:41:53especially John Travolta films.
0:41:53 > 0:41:55There's a few that you definitely would have seen.
0:41:55 > 0:41:58Let's take a look at that category first.
0:41:58 > 0:41:59Er, Ladder 49.
0:41:59 > 0:42:00He's in Look Who's Talking Now,
0:42:00 > 0:42:02the third film of the Look Who's Talking films.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04The other two were not pointless.
0:42:04 > 0:42:05Perfect. Primary Colors about US politics.
0:42:05 > 0:42:08Battlefield Earth was a pointless answer.
0:42:08 > 0:42:10Basic. Be Cool is a pointless answer.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12The Taking of Pellam 123, one of his more recent films,
0:42:12 > 0:42:14a pointless answer. The Thin Red Line,
0:42:14 > 0:42:16plenty of pointless answers out there.
0:42:16 > 0:42:18Now let's take a look, the characters in The Sopranos.
0:42:18 > 0:42:20Almost all of these were pointless.
0:42:20 > 0:42:22Dr Jennifer Melfi, played by Lorraine Bracco.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25Tony Soprano's mum, Livia's a pointless answer.
0:42:25 > 0:42:26Paulie Walnuts, a pointless answer.
0:42:26 > 0:42:29Tony Blundetto played by Steve Buscemi.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32Um, the only answers that weren't pointless were
0:42:32 > 0:42:35Tony Soprano, Meadow Soprano and Corrado - Junior.
0:42:35 > 0:42:37All the other characters were pointless answers.
0:42:37 > 0:42:40Tracks from Born In the USA, there's five pointless answers here.
0:42:43 > 0:42:45And No Surrender.
0:42:45 > 0:42:48Very well done if you got pointless answers in any of those categories.
0:42:48 > 0:42:49Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:42:49 > 0:42:52Thanks very much, Ray and Lup, who sadly didn't win our jackpot
0:42:52 > 0:42:55today which means it rolls over onto the next show when we will be
0:42:55 > 0:42:58playing for £2,250.
0:42:58 > 0:42:59APPLAUSE
0:43:01 > 0:43:03Join us then to see if someone can win it.
0:43:03 > 0:43:05- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:05 > 0:43:07And it's goodbye from me, goodbye.
