0:00:16 > 0:00:20APPLAUSE
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.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35And couple number one.
0:00:35 > 0:00:39Hello, I'm Charlie, and this is my dad, Chas, and we are from London.
0:00:39 > 0:00:40Couple number two.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43Hi, my name is Deborah, and this is my daughter Maxine,
0:00:43 > 0:00:45- and we're from Muswell Hill. - Couple number three.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Hi, I'm Max, this is my dad, Adrian,
0:00:47 > 0:00:49and we're from Trowbridge in Wiltshire.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51And, finally, couple number four.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Duncan, this is my girlfriend Tori,
0:00:53 > 0:00:54and we're from North London.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56And these are today's contestants.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Thanks very much, all of you. A warm welcome to the show. We'll get to
0:01:02 > 0:01:04chat to each of you a bit throughout the show as it goes along.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06So, that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10He's a man who really makes you wonder what's on the other side,
0:01:10 > 0:01:11and I don't mean BBC Two.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14- It's my pointless friend, it's Richard.- Hiya.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17Hi, everybody. Afternoon.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19- Good afternoon to you, sir. - And to you.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22It's nice - on the first two podiums there, we've got a father and son,
0:01:22 > 0:01:25- and a mother and daughter, that's always nice.- That's nice.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Although a cautionary tale from the last show, because we also have a
0:01:27 > 0:01:30father and son on podium three, our only returners,
0:01:30 > 0:01:34- and it was a tricky show for them. - Mm.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Max, unfortunately, told us that Zaphod Beeblebrox was a character
0:01:36 > 0:01:41in Pride And Prejudice. That was awkward, so I think maybe
0:01:41 > 0:01:43we haven't seen the best of Max, and we will today.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Welcome as well on podium four, another new pair,
0:01:46 > 0:01:48it's going to be a cracker, some great questions.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50- Let's get going, shall we? - Oh, let's do it.
0:01:50 > 0:01:51Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54So, Nigel and Sue didn't win the jackpot last time, which means we
0:01:54 > 0:01:57add another £1,000 to that, so today's jackpot starts off
0:01:57 > 0:01:59at a rather pleasing £4,000. There we are.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14OK, remember this - the pair with the highest score at the end of each
0:02:14 > 0:02:17round will be eliminated, so just make sure you're not that pair.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Best of luck to all four pairs.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Our first category today...
0:02:23 > 0:02:24It's a Words round.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:02:27 > 0:02:28and who's going to go second?
0:02:28 > 0:02:30And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39We give 100 people 100 seconds to name
0:02:39 > 0:02:43as many words ending in EM as they could.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Words ending in EM.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48Yeah, we're looking for any word that has its own entry in the
0:02:48 > 0:02:51British and World English section of oxforddictionaries.com, please,
0:02:51 > 0:02:53that ends EM. No proper nouns, no hyphenated words, please.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Very best of luck.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Got one.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Thank you very much.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Chas, welcome to Pointless. Good to have you here, sir.
0:03:04 > 0:03:09- What do you do?- I've been in public relations for about 30 years,
0:03:09 > 0:03:13and for the last few years, I have been a stake holder manager
0:03:13 > 0:03:15- for railway companies. - That's fascinating.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19- Where is that based?- Based in the City of London, although obviously,
0:03:19 > 0:03:22the rails stretch further around the country than that.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Well, you would hope they would.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26They've got to go somewhere.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29What are your interests when railing is a thing of the day?
0:03:29 > 0:03:35Well, my time is mainly taken up with chauffeuring and clearing up
0:03:35 > 0:03:40after teenagers, but when I get a chance, I like detective fiction,
0:03:40 > 0:03:43and also when I actually do get a chance to get out,
0:03:43 > 0:03:47I go to rock concerts. And they are mainly rock guitarists
0:03:47 > 0:03:49aged over 60, they tend to be nowadays.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53Excellent. Which is your favourite rock guitarist aged over 60?
0:03:53 > 0:03:58Probably, for the overall ambience, that would be Bruce Springsteen.
0:03:58 > 0:03:59Excellent. Excellent.
0:03:59 > 0:04:03- How many times have you seen him? - About a dozen to 15.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06That's pretty good. Now, Chas, what would you like to go for?
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Always tough kicking these Words rounds off.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11Really struggling, I'm afraid, but I'm going to go for
0:04:11 > 0:04:14- I think I might be right - xylem.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Xylem, says Chas. Let's see if it's right,
0:04:17 > 0:04:19let's see how many of our 100 people said xylem.
0:04:21 > 0:04:22It's right.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33It's a Pointless answer! Very well done indeed, Chas.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37That adds £250 to today's jackpot, takes the total up to £4,250,
0:04:37 > 0:04:41it scores you nothing, and gets us off to a rollicking start.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44That is a lovely start, Chas, very well played.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48- Yeah, do you know what xylem is? - Charlie will, he's a chemist.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51It's essentially the bit of a plant where the nutrients and water
0:04:51 > 0:04:53come up from the soil, xylem.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55You would think - it was quite risky - you would think maybe
0:04:55 > 0:04:58it was UM, but it's not, it's EM. Very well played.
0:04:58 > 0:04:59Very good. Very strong.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02That sets the bar at the right sort of height for everyone.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06Keep that up, and that jackpot's going to be enormous by the
0:05:06 > 0:05:10end of the round! Now, Deborah, a very warm welcome to Pointless.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13- What do you do, Deborah? - I'm an event planner.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15That's... Well, I was about to say that's fun -
0:05:15 > 0:05:18I happen to know how hard event planners work.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Erm, yes. Very early starts.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Very, very late finishes.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Are these sort of conference type events that you're doing?
0:05:25 > 0:05:28- They're mostly social, actually. - In that case, that is more fun.
0:05:28 > 0:05:3221st birthday parties, later life weddings, as I like to call them.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Second, third or fourth round, that kind of thing!
0:05:35 > 0:05:37- You specialise in later life weddings?- I do!
0:05:37 > 0:05:41Oh, well, that is more fun, isn't it?
0:05:41 > 0:05:46- How many across a year, how many do you think you do?- Well, 10 to 12.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48That's fun. That is fun.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50I imagine over the summer, it gets particularly busy.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52It does get very busy in the summer, yeah.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Now, then, Deborah, words ending EM.
0:05:55 > 0:06:00Well, I think Chas has set the bar high, so I am going to try
0:06:00 > 0:06:05the first word that popped into my head, I am going to try theorem.
0:06:05 > 0:06:06- Theorem. - Yes.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09It's getting nods from everyone. Theorem.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12Let's see if it's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:06:21 > 0:06:238. Not bad at all, Deborah, look at that.
0:06:23 > 0:06:268 for theorem. APPLAUSE
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Yeah, a general proposition to be tested, a theorem.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32- It's going well, isn't it? - Isn't it?- Everyone's very clever.
0:06:32 > 0:06:33They're very clever.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37- Very impressive, everybody.- I'm looking forward to Max and Adrian,
0:06:37 > 0:06:39because I know they have ground to make up.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42- Oh, yeah, they've got a lot to prove.- They have.- Here we go.
0:06:42 > 0:06:43That's going to be fun.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45- Max, welcome back to Pointless. - Hiya.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48- Now, we discovered last time you are a student.- Yes.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50- And you're studying... remind us. - Journalism.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53- Journalism, you have just done your first year.- Yeah.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55- Where are you studying it? - UWE, in Bristol.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Excellent. How are you finding Bristol?
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Interesting, yeah, it's a nice city to live in.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03I'm used to the country, so moving to a city was quite a shock.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06- Not too far from Wiltshire, is? - No, it's not too bad.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09So you can get home if the laundry really badly needs to go...
0:07:09 > 0:07:11- Every weekend. - Yeah! That's good.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15- Seriously, how often are you back home?- Every other weekend.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17There we go. A bit of home cooking.
0:07:17 > 0:07:22Now, Max, look how low these lovely scores have been.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24What are you thinking of?
0:07:24 > 0:07:27Not sure if it's going to beat them,
0:07:27 > 0:07:30- but I am going to go for modem. - Modem, says Max.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Let's see how many of our 100 people went for modem.
0:07:42 > 0:07:4511 for modem. Not bad at all.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47APPLAUSE
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Good answer, Max, well played.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Yeah, modulation, demodulation. That's what it's short for.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54There you go. I didn't know that.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56- Did you not? - I didn't know that.- Beyond that,
0:07:56 > 0:07:59I couldn't tell you what modulation and demodulation are.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Modem sort of tailed off as a word. We don't really talk about modems
0:08:02 > 0:08:05- any more, do we? - Less so. Max still does.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07Max is still on dial-up.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11- Yes. - It means all sort of other things,
0:08:11 > 0:08:14it's not just to use it in computers.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16OK. Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Now, Duncan, a warm welcome to Pointless. Great to have you here.
0:08:19 > 0:08:20What do you do, Duncan?
0:08:20 > 0:08:22I'm an account manager at a software company.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25- And where is that based? - In London as well.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27I see. And how long have you been there?
0:08:27 > 0:08:30A couple of years, so came straight out of uni, did that,
0:08:30 > 0:08:33don't really know what happened, just fell into a job.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36And what is it, any particular type of software they specialise in?
0:08:36 > 0:08:40- Encryption software. - Very important to all others.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Duncan, what are your interests aside from that?
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Most of my spare time is spent, I suppose,
0:08:44 > 0:08:47watching or playing sports, so football throughout the winter,
0:08:47 > 0:08:50a bit of cricket over the summer, and a very fair weather golfer
0:08:50 > 0:08:52as well, so occasionally get the clubs out when the weather's nice.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55- Only very fair weather. - 23 degrees and above.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57That's fair enough.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00Now, some lovely low scores so far, Duncan.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03- What are you thinking of going for? - Yeah, some really good scores, so...
0:09:05 > 0:09:08I'm going to take a little bit of a gamble - Requiem.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Requiem.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13There we go. Very nice indeed.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Let's see how many of our 100 people said Requiem.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Look at that, not bad at all.
0:09:27 > 0:09:296, our second lowest score there, Duncan.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Very good. APPLAUSE
0:09:31 > 0:09:33It's a really good round, everybody.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Very well played. Yeah, a Mass for the souls
0:09:35 > 0:09:37of the dead, a Requiem, or a token of remembrance.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Thank you very much, Richard.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41We're halfway through the round, let's take a look at those scores.
0:09:41 > 0:09:450, the best score of that pass, Chas. Very, very well done, xylem.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49Superb, then up to 6,where we find our Requiem score there.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Well done, Duncan and Tory. Up to 8, where we find Deborah
0:09:52 > 0:09:54and Maxine, and then up to 11, where we find Max and Adrian.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57Not much in it at all, but Adrian, you happen to be out in front there,
0:09:57 > 0:10:00so we need a low score from you, so best of luck with that.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02We're going to come back down the line now.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:10:07 > 0:10:11Tori, welcome to Pointless. Good to have you here. What do you do?
0:10:11 > 0:10:14I'm a personal assistant at a software company,
0:10:14 > 0:10:17so I just basically run people's lives.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19This isn't the same software company as Duncan?
0:10:19 > 0:10:22It's not but maybe I should help him out.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24I see. Now, what are your interests?
0:10:24 > 0:10:26So, I quite like playing golf,
0:10:26 > 0:10:30so me and Duncan go and play a lot if we can but in London
0:10:30 > 0:10:32there's not many courses,
0:10:32 > 0:10:36so normally we go back to Oxfordshire, where our parents live.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39But that's quite a fair weather thing as well.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42These fair weather golf courses in the country getting really
0:10:42 > 0:10:45crowded as soon as the temperature goes above 23.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Now, what would you like to go for?
0:10:47 > 0:10:50You're on 6, the high scorers are on 11.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53If you scored 4 or less you'd definitely be in the next round.
0:10:53 > 0:10:59I'm having a bit of a mind block but I'm hoping it is...emblem?
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Emblem, says Tori. Let's see how many of our 100 people said emblem.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05There is your red line, quite low.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Let's see how close you can get to that with emblem.
0:11:18 > 0:11:1915 for emblem.
0:11:21 > 0:11:2421, giving Adrian something to aim for.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28Yeah, a distinctive badge or heraldic device, an emblem.
0:11:28 > 0:11:29Thanks very much, Richard.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33Adrian, there we are, you've gotta score 9 or less.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Remind us what you do.
0:11:35 > 0:11:40Business development manager for a fire sprinkler company.
0:11:40 > 0:11:41What are your interests?
0:11:41 > 0:11:45Football, golf and running.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48OK, so very sporty in your interests.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52Yeah. Me and Max actually played in the same football team this year.
0:11:52 > 0:11:58- That is...- He's like the Peter Pan of Pointless, he really is.- Yeah.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01Now, Adrian, there you are, you're on 11.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03You know what you have to score, have you got something you think
0:12:03 > 0:12:06might get you down to that bottom end of the column?
0:12:06 > 0:12:09I've got a safe word but I don't think we can take the chance.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13I'm going to go for reem, as in reem of paper.
0:12:13 > 0:12:18OK. Reem. Let's see how many of 100 people said reem.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21There's your red line. Is reem right? Let's find out.
0:12:24 > 0:12:25It is right.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34Oh, and it gets you through. Very well done. 6 for ream.
0:12:34 > 0:12:35Taking your total up to 17.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41It's not a ream of paper, that's spelt differently but there is
0:12:41 > 0:12:47reem, fortunately for you, R-E-E-M, which is a large kind of horned ox.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Often mentioned in Hebrew literature.
0:12:49 > 0:12:54- I make them out of papier mache. - I know, I understand.
0:12:54 > 0:12:59Thank you, Richard. Now, Maxine, welcome to Pointless.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02- What do you do?- I'm an HR manager for a fashion company.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05That's fun. How long have you been doing that?
0:13:05 > 0:13:08- Almost eight years now. - What are your interests?
0:13:08 > 0:13:14- Presumably fashion...- Yeah, fashion but I think my passion is baking.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17OK. Do you have any particular kind of baking....?
0:13:17 > 0:13:23I like baking sort of gluten free, dairy free, sugar free treats.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25I like "treats" at the end of that!
0:13:25 > 0:13:29All of those things missing and still delicious.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32Now, words ending EM.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36Our high score is 21, which means 12 or less gets you through.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Gosh, I'm finding this one quite tricky.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43I've got two and I think they're probably both quite high scoring.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45But I'm going to go with stem.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Stem, says Maxine. Here is your red line.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50If you can get below that with stem, you are through to the next round.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53How many of our 100 people said stem?
0:14:01 > 0:14:0438 for stem.
0:14:04 > 0:14:05That takes your total up to 46.
0:14:05 > 0:14:10Lots of definitions of stem but it's the main body or shoot of
0:14:10 > 0:14:12a plant or shrub.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15Thanks, Richard. Now, Charlie.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Welcome to Pointless. What do you do, Charlie?
0:14:17 > 0:14:21I'm currently a student enjoying a gap year.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24- Oh, that's fun. At the end of being a student?- Yes.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28- About to go to university. - Oh, I see, right, you haven't yet.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30Do you know where you're going to be going to university?
0:14:30 > 0:14:34- Nottingham.- What will you be doing there?- Biology.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Very good. How have you spent your year off?
0:14:37 > 0:14:41Um...first couple of months I spent working in retail which
0:14:41 > 0:14:44essentially was a plan to accrue some life skills.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47- And also some well-needed cash. - Yeah.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51Since then I've not been to South America and found myself
0:14:51 > 0:14:53or anything, none of that sort of stuff.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57- Have you found yourself? - No, no, not yet.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00I shouldn't look, if I were you. I shouldn't look for years.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03- That's what our name badges are for. - Yeah, yeah.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07Now, Chas has set you up beautifully there, lovely low score from him.
0:15:07 > 0:15:1045 or less keeps you in the game,
0:15:10 > 0:15:13which I think should be no stretch for you.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16I'm quite tentative with this but following on from the
0:15:16 > 0:15:20biological theme, I'm going to go for phloem.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23Phloem, says Charlie.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25(Quite good on podium one, aren't they?)
0:15:25 > 0:15:29Here is your red line, not far off halfway down the column.
0:15:29 > 0:15:33Let's see how many of our 100 people said phloem.
0:15:35 > 0:15:36It's right.
0:15:39 > 0:15:40Very well done indeed.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44It's a pointless answer!
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Very well done indeed.
0:15:46 > 0:15:51That adds £250 to today's jackpot, takes the total up to...
0:15:51 > 0:15:53Scores you nothing,
0:15:53 > 0:15:57leaves your total at nothing and is all round very impressive.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59That's turned out nicely on podium one.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03Phloem, that's the vascular system in plants as well.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06Phloem and xylem is the name of our rap duo as well.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Nice to give it a bit of publicity.
0:16:08 > 0:16:13- Do you have an answer?- Yes.- It's not as good as phloem and xylem.
0:16:13 > 0:16:18- No. Diadem.- As in, like a jewel.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20- Yeah.- Would have scored you 10.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24- Really?- Yeah. - The other one I had was ahem.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28- As in - ahem!- Yeah. - Would have scored you 5 points.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31- Better than diadem.- I thought you were going to say ecosystem.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34- That would have been so clever. - I overestimated you.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37Not for the first time. When am I going to learn?
0:16:37 > 0:16:40- I know, come on. - Lots and lots of pointless answers.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Let's take a look at a few of them.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46Biochem...short for biochemistry.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52Brainstem, very well done if you said that.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57Overesteem, which is essentially what I gave you when I
0:16:57 > 0:16:58thought you'd say ecosystem.
0:17:00 > 0:17:04Queem - that's whose picture is on forged banknotes.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06LAUGHTER
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Let's take a look at the top three answers,
0:17:09 > 0:17:12the ones most of our 100 people said.
0:17:18 > 0:17:19Thank you very much indeed.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22So, at the end of our first round, the pair who are heading home
0:17:22 > 0:17:26with a high score of 46, it's Maxine and Deborah.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Stem did for you, I'm afraid.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31I was going to say ahem, that was my other one.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33- I probably should have said that. - You should've.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36Anyway, we'll see you next time, I'm sure you'll get much further,
0:17:36 > 0:17:39but thanks very much, Maxine and Deborah.
0:17:39 > 0:17:43APPLAUSE
0:17:43 > 0:17:46But for the remaining three pairs it's now time for Round Two.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54We are down to three pairs and at the end of this round we will
0:17:54 > 0:17:56have to say goodbye to another of our pairs.
0:17:56 > 0:18:01Well, two headline stories there. Adrian and Max in Round Two, lovely.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05And Chas and Charlie know a lot about biology and spelling.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07So, best of luck to all three pairs.
0:18:07 > 0:18:12Our category for Round Two today is...
0:18:12 > 0:18:15Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first and second?
0:18:15 > 0:18:18And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24OK, and the question concerns...
0:18:27 > 0:18:30Proper old school Pointless today. We're just going to show you some
0:18:30 > 0:18:32lists of cities in different countries of the world,
0:18:32 > 0:18:35we need you to tell us the countries that these cities are in.
0:18:35 > 0:18:36Six on the first board, six on the second,
0:18:36 > 0:18:39- 12 in all to have a go at at home. Very best of luck.- Thanks very much.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42We're looking for the countries in which you would find these cities.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45And here is our first board of six.
0:19:00 > 0:19:01I'll read those all one last time.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17There we are. Chas, we come to you first.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20Erm...
0:19:20 > 0:19:25I do know two or three of them but...as to what might score low...
0:19:25 > 0:19:30I will go for Kimberley, Port Elizabeth, Pretoria - South Africa.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34South Africa. Let's see how many of our 100 people said South Africa.
0:19:36 > 0:19:37It's right.
0:19:39 > 0:19:4171 for South Africa.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47Yeah, Chas hitting the nail on the head there cos the board,
0:19:47 > 0:19:52it's all up there but really hard to work out which is the most obscure.
0:19:52 > 0:19:56Thank you very much. Adrian.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00Yeah, I think I'm going to have to just play it safe as well.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03I'll go for the top one, which is Italy.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07Italy. Let's see how many of our 100 people said Italy.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12It's right. 71 is our only score so far.
0:20:12 > 0:20:1361 for Italy.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19For example, I would have thought that would score higher than
0:20:19 > 0:20:25- South Africa. But it seems not. - Thank you, Richard.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27Tori, what would you like to go for?
0:20:27 > 0:20:29This board is all yours, so if you really wanted to show off,
0:20:29 > 0:20:31you could take us through all of them.
0:20:31 > 0:20:36The second one, I'm not sure, maybe Japan or something.
0:20:36 > 0:20:41Then the last one I think is Poland. I think I'm going to go for...
0:20:41 > 0:20:44- the third one, Belgium? - OK, you're going to go for Belgium.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47Let's see how many of our 100 people said Belgium.
0:20:52 > 0:20:56Bad luck, I'm afraid. Not Belgium. Scores you 100 points.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59Sorry, Tori, it's not Belgium, it's right next door.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01It's the Netherlands.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05That would have scored you 58.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08If you had gone for the bottom one, Poland,
0:21:08 > 0:21:11you'd have done a bit better, not hugely - 85 points.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13The biggest scorer up there.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17- Chengdu, Shenzhen, Tianjin? - China.- Yep.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21Would have scored you 66. And Hamilton, New Plymouth, Rotorua?
0:21:21 > 0:21:23- New Zealand.- Yeah. That's the best answer on the board.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27- That would have scored you 31 points.- Thank you, Richard.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30We're halfway through the round, let's take a look at those scores.
0:21:30 > 0:21:3261, the best score of the pass, well done.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35Adrian and Max looking strong at this point.
0:21:35 > 0:21:39Then up to 71 where we find Chas and Charlie and then 100.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41You're not that far ahead but you are ahead, so, Duncan,
0:21:41 > 0:21:44we need a low score from you on the next pass. Good luck with that.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46We're going to come back down the line,
0:21:46 > 0:21:48can the second players please step up to the podium.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54OK, let's put six more lists of cities up on the board,
0:21:54 > 0:21:57and here they come. We have got...
0:22:10 > 0:22:12I'll read those all one last time.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29Duncan, that's the board you have to deal with.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32And somehow you're going to have to work out which is going to be
0:22:32 > 0:22:35the lowest-scoring answer there.
0:22:35 > 0:22:39Right. I think I know a couple of them.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43I think the second one down, I think that's Bangladesh.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46OK, no red line for you as you're the high scorer.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49Let's see how many of our 100 people said Bangladesh.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57Bad luck, I'm afraid that's not Bangladesh.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00That scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 200.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03Yeah, Bangladesh and Belgium and also another word I heard you
0:23:03 > 0:23:07whisper beginning with B sees you in the 200 Club.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09LAUGHTER
0:23:09 > 0:23:10Thanks, Richard.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14Max, listen, you're going through to the head-to-head, doesn't matter
0:23:14 > 0:23:15what you score here,
0:23:15 > 0:23:19but a chance here for you to get a nice low score if you want.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22I'm going to go for Faro, Porto and Albufeira - only because we went
0:23:22 > 0:23:26on holiday to Albufeira not long ago - so we're going to go Portugal.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29Portugal, says Max. No red line, you're already through.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32Let's see how many of our 100 people said Portugal.
0:23:34 > 0:23:35It's right.
0:23:37 > 0:23:3868.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Not bad at all. 129 is your total.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44- Well done, safe and sound. Was it nice?- Yeah, lovely.
0:23:44 > 0:23:49- They can recommend it.- Excellent. Now, Charlie, there you are on 71.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Doesn't matter what you score, you're through.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54Do you want to talk us through the board and fill in all the blanks?
0:23:54 > 0:23:56I'm fairly confident on a few of them.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59Malmo, Gothenburg and Helsingborg I think is Sweden.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02Kolkata, Lucknow and Bangalore I would guess India.
0:24:02 > 0:24:06Third one down, somewhere South American but...too much of a risk.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Calgary, Winnipeg and Montreal is Canada
0:24:08 > 0:24:13and Graz, Linz and Salzburg is Austria, I think,
0:24:13 > 0:24:16so I'll go for Calgary, Winnipeg and Montreal, Canada.
0:24:16 > 0:24:17OK, Canada, says Charlie.
0:24:17 > 0:24:21Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said it.
0:24:25 > 0:24:2790. Big score on Canada.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30Taking your total up to 161. But you're through.
0:24:30 > 0:24:31Isn't that interesting?
0:24:31 > 0:24:34Cos of all the ones you knew, that's the highest score.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37All the others would have scored you slightly lower.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39Malmo...
0:24:39 > 0:24:40It is Sweden.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45Kolkata, etc, is India.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49Down the bottom, you're quite right, it's Austria.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55The best answer on the board is Recife, Manaus and Salvador.
0:24:55 > 0:25:01- Football fans will have remembered some of these cities.- Brazil.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03Yeah. Would have scored you 7 points.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05Very well done if you said that at home.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Thank you very much. At the end of our second round,
0:25:07 > 0:25:10the pair we're sending home with a high score of 200,
0:25:10 > 0:25:12Duncan and Tori.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15Great to have you on, far too soon to be sending you away but we'll
0:25:15 > 0:25:18see you again next time for your second shot at the Pointless Final.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20But thanks very much, Duncan and Tori.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23APPLAUSE
0:25:23 > 0:25:27But for the remaining two pairs it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34Congratulations, Adrian and Max, Chas and Charlie,
0:25:34 > 0:25:36you're now one step closer to the final and
0:25:36 > 0:25:40a chance to play for that jackpot which is currently standing at...
0:25:43 > 0:25:46You've reached the head-to-head which means you're now allowed
0:25:46 > 0:25:50to confer and the first pair to win two questions will go through to
0:25:50 > 0:25:51the final and play for that jackpot.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54Chas and Charlie, you've just hit the ground running here.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57First round, straight out of the traps.
0:25:57 > 0:26:01Two pointless answers in that round. Very impressive.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03You've added 500 quid to the jackpot.
0:26:03 > 0:26:07And you're not even our low-scoring pair. This is just ridiculous
0:26:07 > 0:26:10cos that honour falls to Adrian and Max who we had to say goodbye
0:26:10 > 0:26:12to last time in the first round.
0:26:12 > 0:26:17But this time, oh, complete vindication. How are we feeling?
0:26:17 > 0:26:20- Relieved.- Yeah.- Very good.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23But I think this is going to be very close indeed.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25Two fantastic pairs going head-to-head.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28Best of luck to both pairs. I wouldn't want to call it.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30Let's play the head-to-head.
0:26:35 > 0:26:39Here comes your first question and it concerns...
0:26:42 > 0:26:44We're going to show you five pictures of famous people who
0:26:44 > 0:26:47were expelled from school at some point.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49I don't know why. Different reasons. We'll find out as we go along.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52Can you identify the most obscure of these, please?
0:26:52 > 0:26:55And I'm pretty sure they're all reformed characters,
0:26:55 > 0:26:57let me just put that in right now.
0:26:57 > 0:27:02- Take a look.- OK, let's see. Here are our five expellees.
0:27:27 > 0:27:31There we are, five people who were expelled from school.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34Adrian and Max will go first. Feel free to confer.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36THEY WHISPER
0:27:47 > 0:27:51I want to go for one, Max wants to go for a different one!
0:27:51 > 0:27:53Whose choice are you going with?
0:27:53 > 0:27:55Yours.
0:27:55 > 0:27:59We'll go...A, Roger Daltrey.
0:27:59 > 0:28:04A, Roger Daltrey. Chas and Charlie,
0:28:04 > 0:28:06do you want to talk us through the board?
0:28:06 > 0:28:08We knew Roger Daltrey.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10D is Salvador Dali.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13E is Owen Wilson.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16C is Humphrey Bogart.
0:28:16 > 0:28:20B is an actress who was in some Harry Potter films and in
0:28:20 > 0:28:23Happy Valley recently. Can't think of her name.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26- I'm not sure. - Who do you think we should go for?
0:28:26 > 0:28:29- I think D.- OK, we'll go for Salvador Dali.
0:28:29 > 0:28:34OK, D, Salvador Dali. So we have Roger Daltrey and Salvador Dali.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36Adrian and Max said Roger Daltrey for A.
0:28:36 > 0:28:40Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said it.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46Roger Daltrey is right.
0:28:46 > 0:28:4754.
0:28:50 > 0:28:54Chas and Charlie have gone for Salvador Dali for D.
0:28:54 > 0:28:58Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:29:01 > 0:29:02It's right.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04Has to beat 54, and it does!
0:29:04 > 0:29:06Salvador Dali, down he goes to 32.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10Goodness me, well done.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13Chas and Charlie, after one question, you are up 1-0.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16Well played. Roger Daltrey was expelled for smoking.
0:29:16 > 0:29:20Salvador Dali was expelled for extravagant behaviour.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22It must have been quite extravagant.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25- Yeah. - Did it include stealing sausages?
0:29:25 > 0:29:28Or melting clocks. "Who's melted this clock?
0:29:28 > 0:29:30"Dali, I'm looking at you."
0:29:30 > 0:29:33Were you having an argument about which one to go for?
0:29:33 > 0:29:37- Yeah. The other was Owen Wilson. - I thought that would be higher.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39Should always listen to your dad.
0:29:39 > 0:29:43Cos Owen Wilson would have scored you...
0:29:44 > 0:29:46Would have won you the point.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49He was expelled for stealing a teacher's textbook
0:29:49 > 0:29:52so he could do his maths homework cos it had all the answers in it.
0:29:52 > 0:29:57- Expulsion?- Yeah. - That's an expulsion crime, is it?
0:29:57 > 0:29:59I think maybe if you're cheating on a test,
0:29:59 > 0:30:01that's about as bad as it gets.
0:30:01 > 0:30:04- I guess.- Wait till you hear what Humphrey Bogart got expelled for.
0:30:04 > 0:30:08He was actually the biggest scorer of all.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10He was expelled for pushing a teacher into a pond.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13- Oh!- Which you mustn't do.
0:30:13 > 0:30:17- I don't want anyone pushing teachers into ponds.- Don't do that.
0:30:17 > 0:30:23- No. That's wrong, right?- It is. - Pushing teachers into a pond.
0:30:23 > 0:30:24Boy, is it wrong.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27This other person, I don't think it's the person you think it is.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30I think Shirley Henderson is the actress you're thinking of
0:30:30 > 0:30:33who was in Harry Potter and Happy Valley. This is Tori Amos.
0:30:33 > 0:30:38She was expelled from a musical academy,
0:30:38 > 0:30:41genuinely for musical insubordination.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44- That's what she was expelled for. - Musical insubordination.
0:30:44 > 0:30:48Musical insubordination. How about that?
0:30:48 > 0:30:50Which I think is probably a good thing.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52I think of all the things - don't push teachers into a pond,
0:30:52 > 0:30:55but by all means be musically insubordinate.
0:30:55 > 0:30:59Mm. Thank you, Richard. Here comes your second question.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01Now, Adrian and Max,
0:31:01 > 0:31:04this is awkward cos Chas and Charlie get to answer this first.
0:31:04 > 0:31:08You have to win this point to stay in the game. So very best of luck.
0:31:08 > 0:31:12Our second question is all about...
0:31:14 > 0:31:17Simply going to give you five clues to facts about the NHS.
0:31:17 > 0:31:19Can you give us the most obscure answer?
0:31:19 > 0:31:21OK, here are our five clues.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23And they are...
0:31:42 > 0:31:44I'm going to read all of those again.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04Chas and Charlie will go first.
0:32:04 > 0:32:07THEY WHISPER
0:32:13 > 0:32:17We'll go for the fourth one down, the surname of Aneurin,
0:32:17 > 0:32:19he was Aneurin Bevan.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21Bevan, say Chas and Charlie.
0:32:21 > 0:32:26Adrian and Max, that board is all yours. Talk us through it.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28NHS stands for National Health Service.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31Think the Prime Minister was Clement Attlee
0:32:31 > 0:32:35- and the bottom one is 911. - That's American. 111.
0:32:35 > 0:32:38We're going for Prime Minister anyway.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41We'll go for the Prime Minster when the NHS was launched,
0:32:41 > 0:32:45- Clement Attlee. - So we have Bevan and Clement Attlee.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48Chas and Charlie went for Aneurin Bevan.
0:32:48 > 0:32:52Let's see if that's right and how many of our 100 people said it.
0:33:00 > 0:33:0124.
0:33:05 > 0:33:09Now, Adrian and Max have gone for Clement Attlee.
0:33:09 > 0:33:13Let's see how many of our 100 people said Clement Attlee.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23Oh, look at that! 25!
0:33:23 > 0:33:2725 for Attlee. Oh, 24 for Bevan.
0:33:27 > 0:33:30Very well done, Chas and Charlie, that was close.
0:33:30 > 0:33:35After only two questions you are straight through to the final, 2-0.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38What a great head-to-head, terrific stuff.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40I would love it if Attlee and Bevan were still around.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43Imagine the cabinet the next day.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45Attlee saying, "I totally outscored you on Pointless."
0:33:45 > 0:33:48And Bevan would be like, "I got like 24, though."
0:33:48 > 0:33:51And Attlee would go, "They had to give your first name, even."
0:33:51 > 0:33:54And Bevan would be like, "Listen, I'm doing the health service."
0:33:54 > 0:33:57And Attlee would go, "Ahhh!"
0:33:57 > 0:33:59That's what would happen.
0:33:59 > 0:34:04Shall we fill in the rest of these? There's one very good answer there.
0:34:04 > 0:34:08National Health Service would have scored...
0:34:08 > 0:34:10Bad work from 12 of our 100 there.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13Max, you're quite right to tell your
0:34:13 > 0:34:16dad 111 is the three-digit number.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22And the best answer, a pointless answer, the man who took over,
0:34:22 > 0:34:25he joined the NHS as a graduate trainee in 1988 and now runs
0:34:25 > 0:34:28the whole thing. It's Simon Stevens.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30Very well done if you said that at home. I imagine lots of people
0:34:30 > 0:34:33who work for the health service might have got that one.
0:34:33 > 0:34:37Thanks, Richard. So, the pair leaving us, our golden pair,
0:34:37 > 0:34:41Adrian and Max. Doesn't get any closer than that second question.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43It's been great having you on both shows.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46Thanks so much for playing, Adrian and Max.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48APPLAUSE
0:34:48 > 0:34:51But for Chas and Charlie it's now time for our Pointless Final.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58Congratulations, Chas and Charlie, you've seen off all the
0:34:58 > 0:35:01competition and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot and at the
0:35:10 > 0:35:14end of today's show the jackpot is standing at...
0:35:17 > 0:35:20A nice proportion of that - well,
0:35:20 > 0:35:24a portion of that jackpot is your work, so very well done indeed.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26First round, two pointless answers.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29You started with two pointless answers, wouldn't it be nice
0:35:29 > 0:35:32if you could finish off with another pointless answer?
0:35:32 > 0:35:35That'd be good. So what would you like to see come up?
0:35:35 > 0:35:39Biology fell very nicely for you with the EM words in the
0:35:39 > 0:35:43first round. What would you like to see come up in this last round?
0:35:43 > 0:35:46I'd like to see detective fiction
0:35:46 > 0:35:50but only certain authors cos my knowledge is a bit limited.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52OK. Charlie, how about you?
0:35:52 > 0:35:56Frankly, I'm just a bit overwhelmed to have got this far.
0:35:56 > 0:36:00Um...science, geography is quite strong but...
0:36:00 > 0:36:03- We'll just have to wait and see, I think.- OK, very best of luck.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06Let's hope there's something up there on the board you like
0:36:06 > 0:36:09the look of. You get to choose from the four we put up.
0:36:09 > 0:36:12Today's selection reads like this. We've got...
0:36:18 > 0:36:23- I think prog music. - Going to try for prog music.
0:36:23 > 0:36:28- OK, prog music it is. - Slightly tricky choice.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30There's no kind of vanilla options up there.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33Very best of luck. Hopefully one of these will suit you.
0:36:33 > 0:36:37We are looking for the name of any UK top 40 album by Yes,
0:36:37 > 0:36:40the name of any UK Top 40 album by Peter Gabriel,
0:36:40 > 0:36:45and the title of any tracks on the original release of
0:36:45 > 0:36:49Pink Floyd's The Wall. So UK Top 40 albums by Yes or Peter Gabriel
0:36:49 > 0:36:53and the tracks on the original release of Pink Floyd's The Wall.
0:36:53 > 0:36:55- Very best of luck. - Thanks very much.
0:36:55 > 0:36:58You've got up to one minute to come up with three answers and all
0:36:58 > 0:37:01you need to win that jackpot is for just one of those answers to
0:37:01 > 0:37:02be pointless. Are you ready?
0:37:02 > 0:37:05- Absolutely.- Good. Let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07Your time starts now.
0:37:07 > 0:37:11I think we're going to have to look at Pink Floyd cos I don't know...
0:37:11 > 0:37:16- Do you know any tracks on The Wall? - I think...
0:37:16 > 0:37:18I'm not sure about The Wall.
0:37:18 > 0:37:22- I was thinking Shine On You Crazy Diamond.- That's not on The Wall.
0:37:22 > 0:37:24What do you think about Yes albums?
0:37:24 > 0:37:29Tales From Topographic Oceans, Close To The Edge...
0:37:29 > 0:37:33I'm trying to think of... The Yes Album is one of them.
0:37:33 > 0:37:36- But that's a bit obvious. - Peter Gabriel, I've got no idea.
0:37:36 > 0:37:40Peter Gabriel? There was one called Peter Gabriel.
0:37:40 > 0:37:44I think there was one called So.
0:37:44 > 0:37:47I feel like I should know the tracks on The Wall but none
0:37:47 > 0:37:53- are coming to mind. - One Peter Gabriel and two Yes.
0:37:53 > 0:37:57The Yes Album is a bit too obvious, isn't it?
0:37:57 > 0:37:59- Ten seconds left. - Yeah. I... OK.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02Let's go Peter Gabriel and then two of the Yes albums.
0:38:02 > 0:38:04- I'm happy with that.- Yeah.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07I think they're all going to be a little bit...
0:38:07 > 0:38:10OK, that is your time up, I now need your three answers.
0:38:10 > 0:38:15- OK, we'll go for So by Peter Gabriel.- So.
0:38:15 > 0:38:19Tales From Topographic Oceans by Yes.
0:38:19 > 0:38:21Tales from Topographic Oceans.
0:38:21 > 0:38:25And Close To The Edge by Yes.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28OK, of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:28 > 0:38:31- Tales from Topographic Oceans? - We'll put last.
0:38:31 > 0:38:34- Least likely to be pointless?- So.
0:38:34 > 0:38:38OK, let's put those answers up in that order and here they are.
0:38:38 > 0:38:40We have got...
0:38:44 > 0:38:49Very best of luck. Three good answers on the board.
0:38:49 > 0:38:51If you were to win that jackpot of £4,500,
0:38:51 > 0:38:54what would you like to do with it? Chas, you first.
0:38:54 > 0:38:58It's not a question of what I'd like to do with it, but our bedroom
0:38:58 > 0:39:03windows desperately need replacing, so it'd go towards that.
0:39:03 > 0:39:05OK. Charlie, how about you?
0:39:05 > 0:39:09I'd likely spend the money on a trip to New York with my girlfriend,
0:39:09 > 0:39:11so slightly more exciting.
0:39:11 > 0:39:15Some windows and a trip, that's great. OK, best of luck.
0:39:15 > 0:39:18Let's hope one of these answers at least is pointless and will win
0:39:18 > 0:39:20that jackpot for you. Your first answer was So.
0:39:20 > 0:39:24In this case we were looking for Peter Gabriel UK Top 40 albums.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26It has to be right and pointless for you to win that jackpot,
0:39:26 > 0:39:30so for £4,500, let's see how many people said So.
0:39:33 > 0:39:35It's right.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37It just has to be pointless now.
0:39:37 > 0:39:40Takes us down through the 30s, into the 20s,
0:39:40 > 0:39:42still going down through the teens,
0:39:42 > 0:39:44into single figures.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46Down it goes to 6, that's a great score.
0:39:51 > 0:39:55That's not pointless but I'd take some consolation that it
0:39:55 > 0:40:01tells us what our 100 people knew about prog rock albums,
0:40:01 > 0:40:02if only six of them got So.
0:40:02 > 0:40:07It's looking quite good for your subsequent answers, in my opinion.
0:40:07 > 0:40:09Your next answer is Close To The Edge.
0:40:09 > 0:40:12In this case were looking for Yes UK Top 40 albums.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14If this is pointless it will win you £4,500.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16Let's see how many of our 100 people said Close To The Edge.
0:40:16 > 0:40:18Is it pointless?
0:40:20 > 0:40:22It's right.
0:40:22 > 0:40:26Your first answer took us all the way down to 6.
0:40:26 > 0:40:30Close To The Edge takes us down through the teens and into
0:40:30 > 0:40:33single figures. Still going. Passes 6. Down it goes to 4.
0:40:33 > 0:40:37APPLAUSE
0:40:37 > 0:40:40It's all moving in the right direction.
0:40:40 > 0:40:44Your third and final answer was Tales From Topographic Oceans.
0:40:44 > 0:40:48In this case we were looking for Yes UK Top 40 albums.
0:40:48 > 0:40:51If it's pointless it will win you £4,500.
0:40:51 > 0:40:55It will sort out those windows, it'll get you to New York.
0:40:55 > 0:40:57Let's see how many of our 100 people said Tales From Topographic Oceans.
0:40:57 > 0:41:01Is it pointless? For £4,500...
0:41:04 > 0:41:07It's right. Your third correct answer.
0:41:07 > 0:41:11Your first answer took us down to 6, your second answer down to 4.
0:41:11 > 0:41:14Tales From Topographic Oceans into single figures now,
0:41:14 > 0:41:16passes 6, passes 4.
0:41:16 > 0:41:18CHEERING
0:41:21 > 0:41:23Well done. Superb.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29DROWNED OUT BY APPLAUSE
0:41:29 > 0:41:30Congratulations.
0:41:30 > 0:41:33Tales From Topographic Oceans was a pointless answer,
0:41:33 > 0:41:38which means you go home with that jackpot of £4,500.
0:41:42 > 0:41:46Goodness me. That's the way to play Pointless - come on, do one show,
0:41:46 > 0:41:48start off with two pointless answers,
0:41:48 > 0:41:50finish with a pointless answer,
0:41:50 > 0:41:53put all three of your answers in the right order for jeopardy.
0:41:53 > 0:41:57Perfect. Number one album from 1973, Tales From Topographic Oceans.
0:41:57 > 0:42:00Let's take a look at the pointless answers other people might
0:42:00 > 0:42:01have got at home.
0:42:05 > 0:42:08Heaven & Earth, Tales from Topographic Oceans there.
0:42:08 > 0:42:12Everything apart from Close To The Edge, Fragile, Yessongs, Drama
0:42:12 > 0:42:15and The Yes Album, would have scored you 1 point.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18We'll move on to Peter Gabriel.
0:42:22 > 0:42:24Hit, New Blood, Peter Gabriel Plays Live
0:42:24 > 0:42:26and Shaking The Tree: Sixteen Golden Greats
0:42:26 > 0:42:29were all the pointless answers there.
0:42:29 > 0:42:33Tracks on Pink Floyd's The Wall. Lots of pointless answers here.
0:42:37 > 0:42:40Also Don't Leave Me Now, Empty Spaces, Is There Anybody Out There?
0:42:40 > 0:42:43was a pointless answer. Nobody Home, One of My Turns, Outside The Wall,
0:42:43 > 0:42:45Stop, The Happiest Days Of Our Lives,
0:42:45 > 0:42:48The Show Must Go On, The Thin Ice, The Trial, Waiting For The Worms
0:42:48 > 0:42:50and Young Lust also a pointless answer.
0:42:50 > 0:42:54Very well done if you got any of those at home and terrific,
0:42:54 > 0:42:57faultless Pointless performance there from our father-and-son team.
0:42:57 > 0:43:01Thank you, Richard, and thanks once again to our winning players,
0:43:01 > 0:43:04Chas and Charlie, who go away with today's jackpot of £4,500.
0:43:04 > 0:43:06Very well done.
0:43:06 > 0:43:08APPLAUSE
0:43:09 > 0:43:12Join us next time when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge
0:43:12 > 0:43:15- to the test on Pointless. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:15 > 0:43:17And it's goodbye from me, goodbye.
