0:00:18 > 0:00:21APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:00:21 > 0:00:24Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong,
0:00:24 > 0:00:26and welcome to Pointless, the show that makes big winners
0:00:26 > 0:00:29out of the lowest scorers. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:33 > 0:00:34And couple number one.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Hi, I'm Lisa, and this is my brother, Wayne,
0:00:36 > 0:00:39- and we're both from Manchester. - Couple number two.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42Hello, my name's Kate, this is my very good friend Dorrinda.
0:00:42 > 0:00:46We're from the Midlands - me from Warwick and Dorrinda from Solihull.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48- Couple number three. - I'm Tas, this is Vas.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52We're ex-work colleagues, but now good friends, from London.
0:00:52 > 0:00:53And finally, couple number four.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Hi, my name's Rosie, this is my husband, Paul,
0:00:56 > 0:00:59and we're from a little village called Withington near Hereford.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01And these are today's contestants.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Thank you very much all of you, a very warm welcome to Pointless,
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Great to have you here. We'll get to chat to each of you throughout
0:01:08 > 0:01:10the show as it goes along.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13So that just leaves one more person for me to introduce -
0:01:13 > 0:01:16the Machiavelli of tea-time telly, it's my Pointless friend,
0:01:16 > 0:01:18it's Richard.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Hiya. Hey everybody, good afternoon.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25- Oh, I like that, that's nice. - Oh, good.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Now, we only have one returning pair from the last show
0:01:28 > 0:01:30- that's Wayne and Lisa - who got knocked out in Round Two.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33- Mm.- But, amongst our newcomers,
0:01:33 > 0:01:36we have, firstly, a pair of rhyming contestants, which is always nice,
0:01:36 > 0:01:39always a pleasure to have. It doesn't happen very often.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41- No.- And also, we have one of those -
0:01:41 > 0:01:43sometimes I set you a little task to kind of truffle someone out.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46- Yeah.- One of our new contestants is a vicar.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50One of them is a vicar, but who is it?
0:01:53 > 0:01:56- Shall I tell you? - I think I have a hunch.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58Paul. It's Paul. Yeah.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00- Is that what you thought? - Not who I had down as the vicar.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03- Ah, well, there you go. - There we are.- There you go.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05Fun! Now, Gary and Hayley won the jackpot last time,
0:02:05 > 0:02:09so today's jackpot starts off back at £1,000,
0:02:09 > 0:02:10which I think we can all agree is a relief.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12- It's lovely, yeah. - There we are.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15If everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22So remember this - the pair with the highest score at the end of each
0:02:22 > 0:02:25round will be eliminated. That is it - that's all you have to remember.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Best of luck to all four pairs.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Our first category this afternoon is...
0:02:33 > 0:02:36Literature. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:02:36 > 0:02:37who's going to go second?
0:02:37 > 0:02:40And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46OK, and the question concerns...
0:02:52 > 0:02:54- There we are. Richard. - We're going to show you the names
0:02:54 > 0:02:56of seven books on each board, but they're missing a word,
0:02:56 > 0:02:59and that word is a place name. Can you tell us what it is, please?
0:02:59 > 0:03:02- 14 in all to have a go at at home - good luck.- Thanks very much indeed.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05So, we are looking for the missing place names from these book titles.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Here is our first board of seven, and it reads like this.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34I shall read those all again.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55Wayne, we come to you first. Welcome back to Pointless.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57- Thank you very much. - Yes, Round Two last time.- Yes.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59- Oh, it was the Gloucester- Gloucestershire mix-up.- Yeah.
0:03:59 > 0:04:04Yeah. You were just one "shire" from a place in the next round.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Oh, what a shame. Now, Wayne, remind us what you do.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09I'm a recruitment consultant in Manchester.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11And when you're not doing that, you love keeping fit.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13I do. I train tirelessly.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15What sort of training do you do?
0:04:15 > 0:04:19I do, like, functional gymnastic training, weight training.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21You'll sometimes find me in the gym stood on my head.
0:04:21 > 0:04:22You lost me at "functional"!
0:04:22 > 0:04:25Oh, functional, you know like gymnastic body weight training?
0:04:25 > 0:04:28- Yeah, yeah, yeah.- So a lot of people will...- So lots of... On a horse?
0:04:28 > 0:04:30I mean, not on a horse, but you know what I mean, on a...
0:04:30 > 0:04:32No, people will find me stood on my head in the gym,
0:04:32 > 0:04:34- or doing elbow stands. - Quite scary, quite scary.
0:04:34 > 0:04:40- Do you hang from those boots that you then...?- I can do that, yeah.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42I used to be called Spider-Man in my last gym.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45OK. Now, Wayne, what about these missing words?
0:04:45 > 0:04:50Well, basically, I know a couple, but I've got to go for the top one,
0:04:50 > 0:04:54because as much as it's been a book, it's my favourite film of all time.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56- Salem's Lot. - Salem's Lot, says Wayne.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Let's see how many of our 100 people went for Salem's Lot.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05It's right.
0:05:05 > 0:05:0864. 64 for Salem's Lot. APPLAUSE
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Yeah, Stephen King's second published novel, Salem's Lot.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15They call me Spider-Man at the gym as well,
0:05:15 > 0:05:18because I sit in the corner asleep most of the time.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Thank you very much indeed.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24Now, Dorrinda, welcome to Pointless. Lovely to have you here.
0:05:24 > 0:05:28- What keeps you busy up in Solihull? - Well, I'm retired now, but I do
0:05:28 > 0:05:31a huge amount of patchworking and quilting, gardening, and baking.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33That's very nice. In your own garden?
0:05:33 > 0:05:36- Yes.- Is it...? Do you have a kitchen garden?
0:05:36 > 0:05:39- Yes. Yes.- What do you grow in your kitchen garden?
0:05:39 > 0:05:43At the moment, beetroot, radish, tomatoes, courgettes, runner beans.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47There's no radish like a home-grown radish.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Very good. Dorrinda, are you liking our books with missing place names?
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Yes, there's only one that I'm not sure of.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Oh, well, this is good. This is very good.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59I think I will go for the third one down, Christopher Isherwood,
0:05:59 > 0:06:01- Goodbye To Berlin. - Goodbye To Berlin, says Dorrinda.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people went with
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Berlin as our missing place name.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12It is absolutely right. 64 is our only score so far,
0:06:12 > 0:06:16and you've passed that at speed. Look at that, down you go.
0:06:16 > 0:06:1812. Very well done indeed, Dorrinda.
0:06:18 > 0:06:2112 for Goodbye To Berlin. APPLAUSE
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Well played, Dorrinda.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Yeah, the book that was adapted into the musical Cabaret.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Thanks very much indeed. Now, Vas, welcome to Pointless.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30- Hi.- Great to have you here, from London.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32- Yeah.- And what do you do, Vas?
0:06:32 > 0:06:36I work indoors as a postal worker, not on delivery, but indoors.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39- Sorting?- Getting the work out for delivery.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41- I see.- And helping run the place.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Very good indeed. And what you do when you walk out of the
0:06:43 > 0:06:46- sorting office? What do you like to get up to?- I try to keep fit
0:06:46 > 0:06:50by going to the gym and swimming and I like travelling as well,
0:06:50 > 0:06:53- when I get the chance. - Very good indeed. Now, Vas,
0:06:53 > 0:06:55what would you like to go for from our missing place names?
0:06:55 > 0:06:57It's not a good board for me.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59The ones that I know would be high-scorers.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02I'm going to go for Our Man In Havana.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Our Man In Havana, the Graham Greene, says Vas.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people
0:07:07 > 0:07:08said Havana.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14It's right. 64 is our high score, 12 is our low.
0:07:14 > 0:07:1753 is where you end up there. Not bad at all, Vas.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Our Man In Havana. APPLAUSE
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Good start. Graham Greene's younger brother was the Director General
0:07:22 > 0:07:24- of the BBC.- So he was.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27Thank you very much indeed. Paul, welcome to Pointless.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30- Here from Herefordshire. - That's right.
0:07:30 > 0:07:35- I wonder what you do.- Well, the clue I suppose, is in the clothing.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Yes, I'm a vicar, or training to be a vicar.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40Whereabouts are you training to be a vicar?
0:07:40 > 0:07:43Just east of Hereford, so in five rural villages.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Well, there you are. So you're training -
0:07:45 > 0:07:48how much more training do you have to do?
0:07:48 > 0:07:50About another 18 months before I get my own parish.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53OK. And you don't even know where your parish will be,
0:07:53 > 0:07:55- or maybe you do? - No, not yet, no.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57- It could be anywhere?- It could be...
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Probably in the diocese, but it could be anywhere.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03OK. Now, Paul, you're the last person to have this board.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07I think, going from the top, I think that's From Russia With Love.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10The Tony Hawks book is Round Ireland With A Fridge.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13Not sure about the Looking For...
0:08:13 > 0:08:16And the Karen Blixen, I would guess Out Of Africa.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19But I think I'm going to go with Tony Hawks -
0:08:19 > 0:08:20Round Ireland With A Fridge.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Round Ireland With A Fridge, says Paul. Wonderful book.
0:08:23 > 0:08:24Lovely man, Tony Hawks.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27Let's see how many of our 100 people said Round Ireland With A Fridge.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36That's a lovely answer. Very well done, Paul.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Look at that - 21. Very well done indeed. Second lowest answer
0:08:39 > 0:08:42of the round so far. APPLAUSE
0:08:42 > 0:08:43Now, Tony Hawks often gets confused with
0:08:43 > 0:08:46- there's a very famous skateboarder called Tony Hawk -
0:08:46 > 0:08:49and he often gets messages from him, and all of this sort of stuff.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51And when he went on Celebrity Mastermind, Tony Hawks,
0:08:51 > 0:08:54he chose Tony Hawk as his specialist subject.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57Let's take a little look through the board.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59A huge scorer, From Russia With Love, it's absolutely correct,
0:08:59 > 0:09:02but would have scored you 96 points.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06Big scorer at the bottom as well - Out Of Africa.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09That would have scored you 57.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11And the best answer on the board is John Green's Looking For...
0:09:11 > 0:09:14- Alaska.- Alaska, yeah, that's absolutely right.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Would have scored 4 points. Very well done if you said that at home.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at those scores.
0:09:21 > 0:09:2312, the best score of the pass Dorrinda, by some margin,
0:09:23 > 0:09:26I might add. So Dorrinda and Kate looking very strong at this point,
0:09:26 > 0:09:29as I would say are Paul and Rosie on 21,
0:09:29 > 0:09:31then we travel up to 53, Vas and Tas,
0:09:31 > 0:09:34and then up to 64, Wayne and Lisa.
0:09:34 > 0:09:35So Lisa, you haven't seen the next board yet,
0:09:35 > 0:09:38but let's hope you've got a good answer up your sleeve
0:09:38 > 0:09:40that will keep you in the game. Best of luck with that.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42We're going to come back down the line now.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:09:47 > 0:09:51OK, well, let's put seven more books up on the board, and here they are.
0:10:15 > 0:10:16I'll read those all again.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37- Rosie, welcome to Pointless. - Hello.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40- Lovely to have you here. - Thank you.- Now, what do you do?
0:10:40 > 0:10:45Well, most of the time I look after our little boy, Jack, who's two.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47- Hello, Jack.- But when I have a little bit of time,
0:10:47 > 0:10:50I am a freelance arts administrator.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53Right you are. And what does that...? What does that entail?
0:10:53 > 0:10:56I help to organise arts projects for charities,
0:10:56 > 0:10:58local authorities, local organisations.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01- Very nice indeed.- Mostly youth arts. - I see, youth arts.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04Now, if you can score 42 or less, you're through,
0:11:04 > 0:11:07even at this early stage of this pass.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09OK, well, fingers crossed.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12I'm going to go for the second one from the bottom -
0:11:12 > 0:11:15I'm hoping it's not too high - but I think it's Jamaica Inn.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Jamaica Inn, says Rosie. Jamaica Inn. Here's your red line. If
0:11:18 > 0:11:22you can get below that with Jamaica, you are through to the next round.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Let's see how many of our 100 people said Jamaica Inn.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30- It's right.- That was a scary...
0:11:30 > 0:11:33- Oh.- 58. I think that's OK.
0:11:33 > 0:11:3679 is your total. APPLAUSE
0:11:36 > 0:11:40And the title comes from a real inn that still stands on Bodmin Moor.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44Thanks very much indeed. Now, Tas, welcome to Pointless.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47So you and Vas are former workmates.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49- Yeah.- You're still in the postal service?
0:11:49 > 0:11:51Yes, I'm a project manager now.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Now, Tas, what do you like getting up to when you're not working?
0:11:54 > 0:11:55When I'm not working,
0:11:55 > 0:11:58I'm a huge Madonna fan, so I see her when I can,
0:11:58 > 0:12:02when she's over here doing concerts. I collect everything.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05- What's your favourite era of Madonna?- Erotica, 1992.
0:12:05 > 0:12:10I see. OK, not a second's hesitation there, absolutely that was the one.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Now, Tas, what would you like to go for?
0:12:12 > 0:12:15You're on 53. If you could score 25 or less,
0:12:15 > 0:12:18you're comfortably into the next round.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Not my strongest subject.
0:12:21 > 0:12:26Looking at the board, the only one I can fathom a guess at is probably
0:12:26 > 0:12:27A Passage To India.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30A Passage To India, there we are, the E M Forster.
0:12:30 > 0:12:31Here is your red line.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34If you get below that with India, you are into Round Two.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37Let's see how many of our 100 people said A Passage To India.
0:12:40 > 0:12:41It's right.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44Oi! 87, caught me unawares there.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47APPLAUSE 87, quite a big score there.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50140 is your total, but you've certainly kept yourselves
0:12:50 > 0:12:52in the game for now, Tas, 140.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55E M Forster was nominated for the Nobel Prize for Literature
0:12:55 > 0:12:58- 14 different times. Never won it. - There we are.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Now, Kate.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04I have tremendous news for you, Kate, in the form of this -
0:13:04 > 0:13:05you are through to the next round,
0:13:05 > 0:13:08thanks to Dorrinda's lovely low scoring in the first pass,
0:13:08 > 0:13:09it doesn't matter what you score,
0:13:09 > 0:13:12which takes a little bit of pressure off.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14But Kate, first, tell me about Warwick.
0:13:14 > 0:13:19- Tell me what you like getting up to there.- I enjoy looking at
0:13:19 > 0:13:22historical places, National Trust places, and so on.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24I Morris dance, which most people wouldn't admit to.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27Stop the clocks, stop the clocks right there!
0:13:27 > 0:13:29How often do you Morris dance?
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Well, in fact, tomorrow I shall be Morris dancing,
0:13:31 > 0:13:33starting at eight o'clock in the morning.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36That's exciting and fun. Now then, Kate, you're on 12.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38You're through, it doesn't matter what you score.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41What would you like to go for?
0:13:41 > 0:13:44Well, I'm very tempted to have a guess on the fourth one down,
0:13:44 > 0:13:49but I want to try and add to Dorrinda's low score,
0:13:49 > 0:13:51so I'm going to say, for the John Irving novel,
0:13:51 > 0:13:53The Hotel New Hampshire.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55The Hotel New Hampshire, says Kate.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58No red line for you for the lovely reason that you already through.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01But let's see how many of our 100 people said The Hotel New Hampshire.
0:14:05 > 0:14:06It's right.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14Oh, that's a fantastic answer! Look at that!
0:14:14 > 0:14:16APPLAUSE Kate and Dorrinda, my goodness,
0:14:16 > 0:14:20on podium two, you're on fire! 13 is your total.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23- Very impressive it is, too. - Yeah, wonderful author, John Irving.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25Made into a film, like lots of his novels were, in 1984.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29Thanks very much indeed, Richard. Now, then, Lisa.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32Ooh, well, things have changed a little bit, the landscape
0:14:32 > 0:14:35has shifted, which means you are very much in with a chance now.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39Yes, it looked like you were out in front by quite a margin.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43Now it's Tas and Vas out in front, and you can score 75 or less to get
0:14:43 > 0:14:46through to the next round. Now, Lisa, remind us what you do.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49- I'm a planning administrator. - For services, for the...
0:14:49 > 0:14:52Yeah, service leads for gas, water and electricity.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55- We co-ordinate the projects. - And what are your interests, Lisa?
0:14:55 > 0:14:57I particularly like singing,
0:14:57 > 0:15:00which is a shared interest of mine and Wayne's.
0:15:00 > 0:15:04- In a choir?- No, we were both a self-contained singing act.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07Well, what...? You didn't tell us at all about this!
0:15:07 > 0:15:10Oh, the keep fit, the singing! What were you called?
0:15:10 > 0:15:13We were called - it's a little bit cheesy -
0:15:13 > 0:15:16- but we were called Take Two. - Take Two.- Yeah.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19OK, Lisa, what would you like to go for?
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Remember, 75 is your target.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Well, the ones that I knew on the board, they've gone now,
0:15:24 > 0:15:28so the only one that I'm left with is The Amityville Horror.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30The Amityville Horror is what you're going to go for, OK.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Here is your red line.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34If you get below that, you are through to the next round.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38Let's see how many of our 100 people said The Amityville Horror.
0:15:43 > 0:15:44You're through.
0:15:47 > 0:15:4939 is what that scores. It takes your total up to 103.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51APPLAUSE
0:15:51 > 0:15:53It sees you comfortably through. Very well done indeed, Lisa.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56Well played, yes, it sold over three million copies worldwide,
0:15:56 > 0:15:58and was made into a film as well, of course.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00I suspect you can fill these in quite neatly.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03- The Last King of...? - The Last King of Scotland.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06The Last King of Scotland. A big scorer, 54.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08London Fields.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10London Fields, Martin Amis. That's a low scorer - 7 points.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12- And Homage To... - Homage To Catalonia.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Yep, by George Orwell. That would have scored you 18.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17So the best answer on the board is Hotel New Hampshire.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20- Well played.- Very good. Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22So, at the end of our first round, the pair who are heading home
0:16:22 > 0:16:26with their high score of 140, Tas and Vas, I'm sorry, it is you.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29Lovely low score in the first pass there, it's just Passage To India -
0:16:29 > 0:16:30everybody seemed to land on that one.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33But anyway, we'll see you again next time, Tas and Vas,
0:16:33 > 0:16:35when I'm sure you'll do much better. In the meantime,
0:16:35 > 0:16:37thanks very much for playing. Tas and Vas.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40APPLAUSE
0:16:40 > 0:16:44But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:16:49 > 0:16:50And so three pairs remain.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53At the end of this round, we'll say goodbye to another pair,
0:16:53 > 0:16:54in time for our head-to-head round.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57Well, the big story is Kate and Dorrinda and their amazing low score
0:16:57 > 0:16:59there, so very, very well done to you.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02Best of luck to all three pairs for this round, though.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06Our category for Round Two today is...
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Football. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:17:11 > 0:17:12who's going to go second?
0:17:12 > 0:17:15And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:17:29 > 0:17:32..as they could. Football clubs with an L in their name. Richard.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35We're looking for the name of any English league club in the top four
0:17:35 > 0:17:38flights in the 2015-16 season, please, with an L in their name.
0:17:38 > 0:17:42- Very best of luck. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44So, Lisa, we come to you.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47I'm not good at football. It's not me strongest subject.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50You don't have to play it, you just have to name a team!
0:17:50 > 0:17:52I know a really obvious one.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54I'm going to go Arsenal. I'm going to play safe.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56You're going to go for Arsenal, OK.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59Let's see how many of our 100 people said Arsenal.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03It's right.
0:18:05 > 0:18:0757 for Arsenal. APPLAUSE
0:18:09 > 0:18:12Yeah, Arsenal, they've got an L right at the end, haven't they?
0:18:12 > 0:18:14- Spotted it, got it.- Exactly right.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16There it is. Thanks very much indeed.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20Dorrinda, what would you like to go for?
0:18:20 > 0:18:21Erm...
0:18:22 > 0:18:24I think I'd like to go for Millwall.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Millwall, says Dorrinda.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29Let's see how many of our 100 people said Millwall.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35It's right.
0:18:35 > 0:18:36Well, it beats 57.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41And it goes 14, very well done indeed, Dorrinda.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45APPLAUSE
0:18:45 > 0:18:46And I have to say, Dorrinda,
0:18:46 > 0:18:48when we were asking for a club with an L in their name -
0:18:48 > 0:18:50there's an awful lot in Millwall.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53Millwall is 50% L!
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Four out of eight letters - that's a lot.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59A lot of L. And still only 14 people got it.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01I mean, how much more L do you want?
0:19:01 > 0:19:05I know. What do you want them to be called, "Lillwall"?
0:19:05 > 0:19:08- Thank you very much indeed. Rosie.- Hello.
0:19:08 > 0:19:12- Rosie, what would you like to go for?- Well, sport's not great,
0:19:12 > 0:19:15but naming football clubs is probably the best part of sport,
0:19:15 > 0:19:20for me. So I'm going to go for Wolverhampton Wanderers.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Wolverhampton Wanderers says Rosie,
0:19:22 > 0:19:25getting you universal nods from the assembled company.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28Let's see if it's right. Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36It is right. Now, 57 is our high score, 14 is our low.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Wolverhampton Wanderers takes you down
0:19:38 > 0:19:40to 14 - you've joined Dorrinda and Kate.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42APPLAUSE Very well done.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45Yes, one of the founding members of the Football League,
0:19:45 > 0:19:48Wolverhampton Wanderers, and they've got L as their third letter.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50- That's where they've chosen to put their L.- There it is.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52I've got it, yeah. Got it. Thank you very much indeed.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55Well, we're halfway through the round. Let's take a look
0:19:55 > 0:19:58at those scores. Two scores on 14, very well done Rosie and Paul,
0:19:58 > 0:20:01and Dorrinda and Kate. There you are, like as you lie on 14.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04Then we travel quite a way up to 57, where we find Lisa and Wayne.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08Wayne, something tells me you won't know anything at all about football,
0:20:08 > 0:20:11I just don't know. Let's hope you've got
0:20:11 > 0:20:13a nice low-scoring answer up your sleeve, Wayne,
0:20:13 > 0:20:15that will keep you in the game.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Best of luck with that. We're going to come back down the line now.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20Can the second players please step up to the podium?
0:20:22 > 0:20:24OK, so, Paul, remember we are looking for the name of any
0:20:24 > 0:20:27football club with an L in its name.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Yes, again, football's not great for us,
0:20:29 > 0:20:33but I think I'm going to try Aston Villa.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35Aston Villa, says Paul.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38Here is your red line. If you can get below that, or near that,
0:20:38 > 0:20:41near that with Aston Villa, you're still in with a good shout.
0:20:41 > 0:20:42But below that, you're definitely through.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Let's see how many of our 100 people said Aston Villa.
0:20:49 > 0:20:50It's right.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Look at that, very well done indeed.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Through you go. 30. APPLAUSE
0:20:56 > 0:20:5944 is your total.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02Yeah, 30 points, and in that season they were relegated from the
0:21:02 > 0:21:05Premier League for the first time in around about 30 years as well.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Thank you very much, Richard. Now, then, Kate.
0:21:08 > 0:21:14Kate, once again, same target as Rosie and Paul had - 42.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17This is about the worst category I can imagine.
0:21:17 > 0:21:22However, I'm thinking that Walsall is my best answer.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25Walsall is what you're going to go for. OK, here is your red line.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27If you get below that with Walsall,
0:21:27 > 0:21:29you skip through to the head-to-head.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Let's see how many of our 100 people said Walsall.
0:21:34 > 0:21:35It's right.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Gets you through.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42But look how far down it goes!
0:21:42 > 0:21:44Look at that, Kate! APPLAUSE
0:21:44 > 0:21:47It turns out that's the best score of the round so far - 9 -
0:21:47 > 0:21:50taking your total up to 23.
0:21:50 > 0:21:51Also pretty heavy on the Ls as well.
0:21:51 > 0:21:56Between the two of you, you've had seven Ls!
0:21:56 > 0:22:00Thank you very much, Richard. Wayne, I have grave tidings.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03Your score is, even before you've given your dazzling answer,
0:22:03 > 0:22:06which I have absolutely no doubt will be pointless...
0:22:06 > 0:22:08There's no easy way to tell you, I'm afraid.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10You will be leaving at the end of this round.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12- Yeah.- OK. Wayne, what answer will you be giving?
0:22:12 > 0:22:15As you correctly predicted, I know nothing about football.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17I know the obvious bits and bobs,
0:22:17 > 0:22:19but I have actually seen a football match in my time,
0:22:19 > 0:22:22when I did a sports coaching course years ago, and that was in Rochdale,
0:22:22 > 0:22:25- so I'm going to say Rochdale. - Rochdale. OK.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Let's see. No red line for you, I'm afraid,
0:22:27 > 0:22:29- as you're going to be the high-scorers come what may.- Yep.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32But let's see how many of our 100 people said Rochdale.
0:22:35 > 0:22:36It's right.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40Now, 9 was our low score to this point. Rochdale...
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Look at that, down to 1! Very well done indeed, Wayne.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47APPLAUSE I knew you had it in you.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49That takes your score up to 58.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51Yeah, so that's a great way to leave the round.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54They hold the record for the longest time spent in the lowest league
0:22:54 > 0:22:59of English football. From 1974 through to 2010 -
0:22:59 > 0:23:0036 years in the lowest league.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02They're no longer in it, though, so that's good news.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05They went up. Now, before we go on to the pointless answers
0:23:05 > 0:23:08- there's a few pointless answers - I'll take you through some of the
0:23:08 > 0:23:10low scorers. 4 for Barnsley and AFC Wimbledon,
0:23:10 > 0:23:113 for Yeovil Town,
0:23:11 > 0:23:142 for Wigan Athletic, Sheffield Wednesday and Gillingham,
0:23:14 > 0:23:171 for Port Vale, Crawley Town, Burton Albion,
0:23:17 > 0:23:19Oldham Athletic, and Sheffield United. And now
0:23:19 > 0:23:22here's the pointless answers. Well done if you said one of these.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29Brighton & Hove Albion. Must be because it's right at the end there.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32Again, sort of hidden away in Chesterfield, isn't it?
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Those are the pointless answers.
0:23:40 > 0:23:44Let's take a look at the top three, the most common answers.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53And top of the shop, Liverpool, two Ls there, on 82.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56If they didn't have Ls, they'd be called "Iverpoo".
0:23:58 > 0:24:01Thank you very much indeed, Richard. So, at the end of our second round,
0:24:01 > 0:24:04the pair who'll be heading home with their high score of 58,
0:24:04 > 0:24:06it's Wayne and Lisa. I'm afraid this time you really will be
0:24:06 > 0:24:08heading home. This is it - this is where we say goodbye.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11It's been such good fun having you on the show,
0:24:11 > 0:24:14thank you so much for playing. Wayne and Lisa, great contestants.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16- Thank you. Cheers. - APPLAUSE
0:24:18 > 0:24:21But for the remaining two pairs, it is now time for our head-to-head.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28Congratulations, Kate and Dorrinda, Rosie and Paul,
0:24:28 > 0:24:31you are now one step closer to the final and the chance to play for
0:24:31 > 0:24:35our jackpot, which currently stands at £1,000.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37Well, it's lovely to make it to the head-to-head because it means
0:24:37 > 0:24:40you can confer before you give your answers, which takes quite a lot
0:24:40 > 0:24:43of pressure off. It means we can all just relax a little bit more,
0:24:43 > 0:24:46and the first pair to win two questions will be playing for
0:24:46 > 0:24:49that jackpot. Best of luck to both pairs. Let's play the head-to-head.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51APPLAUSE
0:24:54 > 0:24:57Here comes your first question, and it concerns...
0:25:03 > 0:25:05No clues there, Paul!
0:25:08 > 0:25:10- Richard.- If he's up there and you don't get him,
0:25:10 > 0:25:12it's going to be awkward!
0:25:13 > 0:25:16I'll be in trouble. I'll be in trouble.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19I'm going to show you five pictures now of people with the initials JC.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Can you identify these people, please?
0:25:21 > 0:25:24Thanks very much indeed. Let's reveal our five JCs,
0:25:24 > 0:25:25and here they come.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00There we are. Five JCs.
0:26:00 > 0:26:04Now, Kate and Dorrinda, you are our low scorers, so you will go first.
0:26:04 > 0:26:05Feel free to confer.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09I know C, D and E.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14- James Caan. - Let's go with him.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17We'd like to say, for A, James Caan.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19James Caan, say Kate and Dorrinda.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22James Caan. Now, Rosie and Paul, that board is all yours.
0:26:22 > 0:26:26- Would you like to talk us through it?- Hmm!
0:26:26 > 0:26:28We don't know B, do we?
0:26:28 > 0:26:30I think I know her first name, and her second name begins with C,
0:26:30 > 0:26:32but doesn't really help, does it?
0:26:32 > 0:26:36C is Jilly Cooper, we're agreed on that, D is Jackie Chan,
0:26:36 > 0:26:39and E, I think, is Johnny Cash.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42And I think that's probably the best of the remaining answers we know.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45- So, E, Johnny Cash. - OK, E Johnny Cash.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48So we have A, James Caan, and E, Johnny Cash.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50Kate and Dorrinda said that A was James Caan.
0:26:50 > 0:26:54Let's see if that's right. Let's see how many people said James Caan.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58It's right.
0:27:02 > 0:27:0523. APPLAUSE
0:27:08 > 0:27:1023 for James Caan. Now then, Rosie and Paul,
0:27:10 > 0:27:13that's what you have to try and beat with Johnny Cash, for E.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16Let's see if that's right. How many of our 100 people said it?
0:27:20 > 0:27:21It is right.
0:27:25 > 0:27:2742 for Johnny Cash. APPLAUSE
0:27:27 > 0:27:31Very well done indeed, Kate and Dorrinda, after one question,
0:27:31 > 0:27:32you are up 1-0.
0:27:32 > 0:27:36Yes, a good answer, and you chose the best of the remaining answers.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38B is Jennifer...
0:27:38 > 0:27:41- Connelly? - Connelly, is exactly right.
0:27:41 > 0:27:45Jennifer Connelly. And she would have scored you 10 points.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47C, you're right, is Jilly Cooper.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51She would have scored you 50 points.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54And D, Jackie Chan.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57- He would have scored 62. - Do you know...?
0:27:57 > 0:27:59Looking at Jackie Chan there, I was thinking he was going to
0:27:59 > 0:28:02be a sort of concert pianist. Do you know what I mean?
0:28:02 > 0:28:06He's probably playing a kung fu concert pianist in the film.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09Thank you very much indeed. OK, now here comes your second question.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12Rosie and Paul, this is your chance to shine. You get to answer first.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14But - little bit of pressure here -
0:28:14 > 0:28:17if you don't win this question, we say goodbye to you.
0:28:17 > 0:28:21Good luck. Our second question today is all about...
0:28:23 > 0:28:26It just seems skewed slightly in someone's favour here!
0:28:26 > 0:28:27Hold on a minute!
0:28:27 > 0:28:30- JC and weddings! - JC and weddings.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33Goodness me. Yeah, we're going to give you five clues now to facts
0:28:33 > 0:28:35about weddings. Can you give us the most obscure answer?
0:28:35 > 0:28:39OK, thank you very much indeed. Here are our five facts.
0:28:39 > 0:28:40We have got...
0:29:02 > 0:29:03I shall read those all again.
0:29:24 > 0:29:26Rosie and Paul, it's over to you.
0:29:26 > 0:29:30- I think I know them all. The film? - The film is probably the best one.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34We think we know them all.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36We hope that we're right,
0:29:36 > 0:29:40and the second answer, which is the one we're going to go for,
0:29:40 > 0:29:42is Muriel's Wedding.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44Muriel's Wedding, say Rosie and Paul. Muriel's Wedding. Now, then,
0:29:44 > 0:29:47Kate and Dorrinda, the board is all yours. Would you like to talk us
0:29:47 > 0:29:52- through it?- Well, the first one is something blue. The third one...
0:29:52 > 0:29:54It's either Westminster Abbey or St Paul's Cathedral.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57One of those. The next one's Gretna Green.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59- The final one is either...- Jewish.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02It is Jewish? I wasn't sure if it was Russian Orthodox.
0:30:02 > 0:30:04I think that's probably the best next answer,
0:30:04 > 0:30:07so we'll go for the final one, and say Jewish.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10OK, you're going to say Jewish, or Judaism. Let's see if that's right.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12So we have Muriel's Wedding and Judaism.
0:30:12 > 0:30:17Rosie and Paul said Muriel's Wedding first. Let's see how that does.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20Muriel's Wedding.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22It should be, though.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24- It's right.- It's right, excellent.
0:30:29 > 0:30:3114 for Muriel's Wedding. APPLAUSE
0:30:31 > 0:30:33That looks like a good score to me.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35Have you done enough to keep yourselves in the game?
0:30:35 > 0:30:39Kate and Dorrinda have gone for Judaism for the last one.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people
0:30:42 > 0:30:43said Judaism.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47It's right.
0:30:49 > 0:30:5244. APPLAUSE
0:30:52 > 0:30:54Very well done indeed, Rosie and Paul,
0:30:54 > 0:30:56you're back in the game. After two questions, it's 1-1.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58Very nicely played.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.
0:31:01 > 0:31:0390 points for that.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06It WAS St Paul's Cathedral or Westminster Abbey,
0:31:06 > 0:31:07because it was Westminster Abbey.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09That would have scored you 32.
0:31:09 > 0:31:14- And...- Gretna Green. - Yeah. That would have scored 68.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17Thank you very much indeed. OK, here comes your third question.
0:31:17 > 0:31:19This is the decider. Whoever wins this goes through to the final
0:31:19 > 0:31:22and plays for that jackpot. Best of luck to both pairs.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25Our third question is all about...
0:31:29 > 0:31:31Yep, if you don't know who Oliver Postgate is,
0:31:31 > 0:31:32he is the Bishop of Hereford.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38He's actually our son's favourite TV maker.
0:31:38 > 0:31:40Oh, is he? Uh-oh. Yeah, erm...
0:31:40 > 0:31:43The maker of many, many classic animated TV series.
0:31:43 > 0:31:45We're going to show you the titles of five of them now, but we've
0:31:45 > 0:31:48missed out alternate letters. Can you fill in the gaps and tell us
0:31:48 > 0:31:49the names of these TV series, please?
0:31:49 > 0:31:53Thanks very much indeed. Let's reveal our five Oliver Postgate
0:31:53 > 0:31:55TV series, and here they are.
0:32:10 > 0:32:11I'll read those all again.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23Kate and Dorrinda, we will come to you first.
0:32:25 > 0:32:29THEY CONFER QUIETLY
0:32:32 > 0:32:36Er, we'll go for the third one down, please. We think it's The Pingwings.
0:32:36 > 0:32:37The Pingwings.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39OK. Now, Rosie and Paul.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42Well, the top one is Bagpuss.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44That's certainly the case.
0:32:44 > 0:32:48The bottom one is Ivor The Engine, which is his favourite...
0:32:48 > 0:32:50Absolute favourite.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53Absolute favourite thing to watch on television.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55And inspiration isn't striking on any of the other ones,
0:32:55 > 0:32:59- so I think, for Jack, we kind of have to say...- Ivor The Engine.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01Ivor The Engine. So we have The Pingwings,
0:33:01 > 0:33:02and we have Ivor The Engine.
0:33:02 > 0:33:04Kate and Dorrinda went with The Pingwings.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07Let's see how many of our 100 people got that.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13- It's right. - Wasn't sure it was right!
0:33:16 > 0:33:18Oh, that's a good answer, look at that, down it goes to 2.
0:33:18 > 0:33:19APPLAUSE
0:33:19 > 0:33:21Very well done indeed, Kate and Dorrinda.
0:33:21 > 0:33:25I suspect that was probably the lowest scoring answer on the board,
0:33:25 > 0:33:28but anyway, we shall discover. Rosie and Paul, meanwhile, have gone for
0:33:28 > 0:33:32Ivor The Engine. Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:33:34 > 0:33:35It's right.
0:33:39 > 0:33:4233 for Ivor The Engine. APPLAUSE
0:33:42 > 0:33:44But very well done indeed, Kate and Dorrinda.
0:33:44 > 0:33:48That means, after three questions, you are through to the final 2-1.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50Yeah, and you've made Jack very happy, which is lovely.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53He'll be very pleased. Funnily enough, that isn't the best score
0:33:53 > 0:33:55on the board. We'll get onto what is in a moment.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58The top one is, of course, Bagpuss. It's a big scorer.
0:33:58 > 0:33:59Would have scored 48.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02The second to bottom one - the letters are slightly confusing,
0:34:02 > 0:34:05because it's very, very famous, but it scores very lowly.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08- The Clangers. - The Clangers, yeah.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10It would have scored you 11 points.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12Now, this is a pointless answer.
0:34:12 > 0:34:16- It's The something Of Neptune, clearly.- Seas?
0:34:16 > 0:34:19Not seas. Oh, that's a good one. I thought maybe star.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21It's not that. It's The Seal Of Neptune.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23- Oh, The Seal Of Neptune. - That's a pointless answer,
0:34:23 > 0:34:25- so very well done if you said that. - There you go.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28Well, thank you very much indeed. So the pair leaving us at the end
0:34:28 > 0:34:31of the head-to-head round, Rosie and Paul, I'm afraid it is you.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33It's good news, really, because it means we get to see you again.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35- That's true.- Otherwise, it would all have been over
0:34:35 > 0:34:38- in just one appearance.- Every cloud. - Exactly. You shall be back.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40And we'll look forward to that very much indeed,
0:34:40 > 0:34:42and I'm sure you'll take it one step further when you are back.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45But, meantime, thanks very much for playing. Rosie and Paul.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47APPLAUSE
0:34:47 > 0:34:50But for Kate and Dorrinda, it is now time for our Pointless final.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58Congratulations, Kate and Dorrinda, you have fought off
0:34:58 > 0:35:01all the competition, and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot,
0:35:11 > 0:35:14and at the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £1,000.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16Well, this, in many ways, is wonderful.
0:35:16 > 0:35:18You've done incredibly well. You've been our low scorers
0:35:18 > 0:35:21in every single round. And then 2-1 in the head-to-head.
0:35:21 > 0:35:23What would you like to see come up.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26- Dorrinda, I'm going to ask you first.- The films of Tommy Lee Jones.
0:35:26 > 0:35:30Ah! What a fantastic, and slightly unexpected, answer.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32Kate, how about you?
0:35:32 > 0:35:37Erm... Any 1950s sort of films, with the Ealing comedies,
0:35:37 > 0:35:40the Margaret Rutherford films, those sort of films.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42Perfect. Well very, very best of luck.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44Let's have a look and see what's on the board behind me. Let's hope
0:35:44 > 0:35:47there's something up there that's a bit like what you've just asked for.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49Anyway, let's see.
0:35:51 > 0:35:56Oh, hang on! Classic 1940s cinema!
0:36:01 > 0:36:03I used to be a science teacher.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06Oh, you're torn!
0:36:06 > 0:36:07It's your choice.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10Well, biology, chemistry, physics...
0:36:10 > 0:36:12Erm, I think that, if you're happy with that...
0:36:12 > 0:36:15- Yes, if you're happy to do that. - Got to go with the science.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17Biology, chemistry and physics, please.
0:36:17 > 0:36:19OK, very good. Biology, chemistry and physics it is.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22OK. Very best of luck. Were you general science, all of science,
0:36:22 > 0:36:27- or...?- Biology specifically, but up to GCSE with the other two.
0:36:27 > 0:36:31OK, very, very best of luck. OK, here are your three questions.
0:36:31 > 0:36:35We're looking for any of the 27 known moons of Uranus.
0:36:36 > 0:36:39We are looking for any of the constituent bones of the human
0:36:39 > 0:36:43skull, that's the cranium or the face, 22 bones, 14 different names,
0:36:43 > 0:36:45looking for any of those 14 names.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47Or we are looking for any element
0:36:47 > 0:36:50whose atomic number is higher than 75, so 76 or above,
0:36:50 > 0:36:52and that's in June 2016 please.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55So the moons of Uranus, the constituent bones of the human
0:36:55 > 0:36:59skull, or elements whose atomic number is higher than 75.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01Very best of luck for many reasons.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03OK, now, as always, you've got up to one minute to come up with
0:37:03 > 0:37:05three answers. All you need to win that jackpot is for just
0:37:05 > 0:37:08one of those answers to be pointless. Are you ready?
0:37:08 > 0:37:09- Yes, as ready as we'll ever be.- Yes!
0:37:09 > 0:37:12OK. So, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14There they are. Your time starts now.
0:37:14 > 0:37:15Er, no moons of Uranus,
0:37:15 > 0:37:17don't know any of them.
0:37:17 > 0:37:18Bones of the human skull,
0:37:18 > 0:37:20the mandible, you remember this...
0:37:20 > 0:37:22There's the anvil, the stirrup...
0:37:22 > 0:37:24That's what I'm not sure is included
0:37:24 > 0:37:25because they're not really part of
0:37:25 > 0:37:27the actual skull.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29Higher than 75.
0:37:29 > 0:37:34Uranium, Mendelevium,
0:37:34 > 0:37:36I think, Californium,
0:37:36 > 0:37:39want to go with those three?
0:37:39 > 0:37:40Because the mandible is probably one
0:37:40 > 0:37:42of the main...
0:37:42 > 0:37:43Forgotten what I said now.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45Yes, you said for the...
0:37:45 > 0:37:48- And then we said...- Uranium,
0:37:48 > 0:37:50Mendelevium, Californium.
0:37:50 > 0:37:52I think those three.
0:37:53 > 0:37:55We're going to go for the elements.
0:37:55 > 0:37:56Are you happy? Stop the clock?
0:37:56 > 0:37:57Look at that. Stopping the clock.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59Haven't done that for a LONG time.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01Kate and Dorrinda,
0:38:01 > 0:38:03let's have your three answers.
0:38:03 > 0:38:05Right, they are all for the third category -
0:38:05 > 0:38:07elements whose atomic number is higher than 75. OK.
0:38:07 > 0:38:12Mendelevium, Californium and Uranium.
0:38:12 > 0:38:16Of those three, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:16 > 0:38:18- Californium.- Californium goes last.
0:38:18 > 0:38:19Least likely to be pointless?
0:38:19 > 0:38:21- Uranium.- Uranium. Mendelevium goes in the middle.
0:38:21 > 0:38:24OK, well, let's put those answers up on the board in that order, then,
0:38:24 > 0:38:29and here they are. We have got Uranium, Mendelevium
0:38:29 > 0:38:31and Californium. Well, very, very best of luck.
0:38:31 > 0:38:34Three good answers. And if one of those turns out to be pointless
0:38:34 > 0:38:38and were to win you that jackpot, what would you like to do with it?
0:38:38 > 0:38:40Kate, £1,000.
0:38:40 > 0:38:43Well, I'm in the process of buying a camper van, so most of it would go
0:38:43 > 0:38:46into a camper van fund, and I'd also give a donation to charity.
0:38:46 > 0:38:49Very good indeed. Dorrinda, how about you?
0:38:49 > 0:38:51I think my husband and I would like another city break somewhere,
0:38:51 > 0:38:53because we like travelling.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55Very nice indeed. OK, well, best of luck.
0:38:55 > 0:38:59Three good answers. As I say, your first answer was Uranium.
0:38:59 > 0:39:01In this case, in fact, in all three cases,
0:39:01 > 0:39:04we are looking for elements whose atomic number is higher than 75.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07You've gone for Uranium. Let's find out if that's right.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09If it is right and it is pointless, it will win you £1,000.
0:39:09 > 0:39:11How many people said Uranium?
0:39:15 > 0:39:18It is right. Now, if Uranium takes us all the way down to 0,
0:39:18 > 0:39:21you will leave here with £1,000. Down we go.
0:39:21 > 0:39:22Through the 30s,
0:39:22 > 0:39:24into the 20s,
0:39:24 > 0:39:25into the teens.
0:39:25 > 0:39:27Oh, 16. OK. APPLAUSE
0:39:29 > 0:39:31Well, this is good. It shows we're in the right area
0:39:31 > 0:39:34of the atomic table. The periodic table, I suppose.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36So there we are. Very, very good indeed.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39Not that I doubted you for a second, Kate, you understand!
0:39:39 > 0:39:41You only have two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:39:41 > 0:39:45Your next answer was Mendelevium, and again, we were looking for
0:39:45 > 0:39:47elements whose atomic number is higher than 75.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50Let's find out how many people said Mendelevium.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53If it goes down to nothing, you leave here with £1,000.
0:39:53 > 0:39:54How many people said Mendelevium?
0:40:00 > 0:40:01It, too, is correct.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04Uranium, your first answer, took us down to 16.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06Mendelevium takes us down through the 30s and through the 20s.
0:40:06 > 0:40:08Down through the teens, we've passed 16.
0:40:08 > 0:40:10We go down, single figures, we're still going down.
0:40:10 > 0:40:12Down we go. Mendelevium takes us down to...
0:40:12 > 0:40:141! APPLAUSE
0:40:18 > 0:40:21- Ooh, that's exciting. - Classic Pointless finish.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23There we go. Well, look, there we are.
0:40:23 > 0:40:25We're going in the right direction. We're going down from 16 to 1.
0:40:25 > 0:40:29Lot of pressure now on Californium, your third and final answer.
0:40:29 > 0:40:31And again, we are looking for elements whose atomic number is
0:40:31 > 0:40:35higher than 75. If Californium turns out to be pointless,
0:40:35 > 0:40:38you leave here with £1,000. How many people said Californium?
0:40:43 > 0:40:44It's right.
0:40:44 > 0:40:46Uranium took us down to 16.
0:40:46 > 0:40:49Mendelevium took us down to 1.
0:40:49 > 0:40:51Californium now takes us down through the 20s, into the teens.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53Down we go. We've passed 16.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55We're going down, single figures, we're going...
0:40:55 > 0:40:56Oh, 5.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58APPLAUSE
0:40:58 > 0:41:01I tell you what - three brilliant answers there.
0:41:01 > 0:41:04Think how pleased you'd be with any of those scores in normal gameplay,
0:41:04 > 0:41:09so very, very strong answering. And down to 1 with Mendelevium!
0:41:09 > 0:41:11Just tantalisingly close. I'm afraid, though,
0:41:11 > 0:41:13you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer,
0:41:13 > 0:41:15so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £1,000.
0:41:15 > 0:41:18That will roll over onto the next show.
0:41:18 > 0:41:21But you can carry your Pointless trophies proudly above your heads.
0:41:21 > 0:41:25Richly, richly deserved. Low scorers in every single round.
0:41:25 > 0:41:27And acquitted yourselves incredibly well in this last round,
0:41:27 > 0:41:30so very well done. Kate and Dorrinda, a great pleasure to
0:41:30 > 0:41:33- have you on the show, very well done.- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:41:33 > 0:41:37APPLAUSE
0:41:37 > 0:41:39Yeah, terrific performance throughout, very well done.
0:41:39 > 0:41:42You were very unlucky with Mendelevium because there were 26
0:41:42 > 0:41:45pointless answers on that chemistry one, and I don't think you used
0:41:45 > 0:41:48your whole 60 seconds, which you would... Every single student you've
0:41:48 > 0:41:50ever had, you always tell them, use your entire time in the exam!
0:41:50 > 0:41:53You know that you do. But we'll start with the moons of Uranus.
0:41:53 > 0:41:55There are lots of pointless answers here.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57Well done if you said any of the following.
0:41:59 > 0:42:03You could have had Bianca, Caliban, Cordelia, Ferdinand, Francisco, Mab,
0:42:03 > 0:42:06Perdita, Stephano or Trinculo.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09All of those are pointless answers, Well done if you said any of those.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12Mandible, you were going to go for, for bones of the human skull.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15Would have scored you 6 points, so you did well to avoid it.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21Palatine, sphenoid or vomer - all of those were pointless answers.
0:42:21 > 0:42:24Well done if you said any of those. Now these elements.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26Now, you've been getting good at chemical elements.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28- Oh, yes. - What would you say here?
0:42:28 > 0:42:30Well, I'd always go with Protactinium.
0:42:30 > 0:42:32Which was a pointless answer, Protactinium.
0:42:32 > 0:42:34- Yeah, very well done! - APPLAUSE
0:42:34 > 0:42:37And there's lots more as well.
0:42:40 > 0:42:44You could have had Actinium, Americium, Astatine, Berkelium,
0:42:44 > 0:42:46Bismuth, you could have had.
0:42:46 > 0:42:50Copernicium, Darmstadtium, Fermium, Francium, Hassium, Iridium,
0:42:50 > 0:42:53Lawrencium, Livermorium - two of our favourites there - Meitnerium
0:42:53 > 0:42:58Neptunium, Osmium - my favourite - Radon, Roentgenium, Seaborgium,
0:42:58 > 0:43:00or Thorium. So loads and loads of pointless answers.
0:43:00 > 0:43:02Very well done if you got any of those at home,
0:43:02 > 0:43:04and a terrific performance in the studio.
0:43:04 > 0:43:06Thanks, Richard, and thanks so much Kate and Dorrinda.
0:43:06 > 0:43:09Sadly, they didn't win our jackpot today, which means it rolls over
0:43:09 > 0:43:13onto the next show, when we will be playing for £2,000.
0:43:13 > 0:43:14APPLAUSE
0:43:16 > 0:43:18Join us then to see if someone can win it.
0:43:18 > 0:43:20Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...
0:43:20 > 0:43:22- Goodbye.- ..and it's goodbye from me - goodbye.
0:43:22 > 0:43:25APPLAUSE
