0:00:18 > 0:00:21APPLAUSE
0:00:21 > 0:00:24Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong
0:00:24 > 0:00:27and welcome to Pointless, the show that puts obscure knowledge to the test.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29Let's meet today's players.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35And, couple number one.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37Hello, I'm Arthur, this is my fiancee,
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Steph, and we have come from Loughborough.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Couple number two.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44Hi, I'm Jane, I'm from Tadworth in Surrey and this is my best
0:00:44 > 0:00:47- friend, Sue. She's from Berkshire. - Couple number three.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Hi, I'm Tom, this is my housemate, Sam, and we're from Exeter.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52And finally, couple number four.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Angela, this is my friend, Nick.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57I'm from south-west London and Nick is from High Wycombe.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59And these are today's contestants.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Thanks very much to all of you, a warm welcome to the show.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06We'll get to chat to each of you throughout the show as it
0:01:06 > 0:01:09goes along, so that just leaves one more person for me to introduce.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11The most important number in our collective equation,
0:01:11 > 0:01:15where X is constant and Y is an unfeasibly tall man in glasses.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Hiya! Hi, everybody.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25- Good afternoon to you. - Good afternoon.- How are you? - I'm very well.- Excellent.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27We only have one returning pair from last time but they were
0:01:27 > 0:01:32- very good.- They were.- Tom and Sam, weren't they? They're very clever, everybody.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34I'm sorry to break that to you. You may be clever as well,
0:01:34 > 0:01:37we don't know that yet, but they definitely are.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40It's annoying, isn't it? I would prefer to come on a show where there's, you know,
0:01:40 > 0:01:43- there's only one returning pair and they were terrible.- Yeah.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47But Tom and Sam, head-to-head, 2-1 in the... You know it was good, it was a good show, wasn't it?
0:01:47 > 0:01:49- Mm.- And they know about everything.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51One of the categories was "Everything" in the last round.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54And they both got pointless answers, it was amazing.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56It was "name anything in the world" and both of them,
0:01:56 > 0:01:59- so, there was only two pointless answers.- Yeah!
0:01:59 > 0:02:01It was Chico and Oswestry.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Those were the only two pointless answers. And they got both of them.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07No offence to anyone in Oswestry, especially if Chico's visiting.
0:02:07 > 0:02:12- Wow, that would be a strange eclipse, wouldn't it? Chico. - Oh, it'd be weird.
0:02:12 > 0:02:13- Have you ever been to Oswestry? - Not yet.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16- I haven't either. It's a nice name, though, isn't it?- It is.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18That's why I plucked it out of thin air.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20It always makes me think of owls. Why should it?
0:02:20 > 0:02:23- Well, because of the "O" and the "W", I guess.- I guess it must be.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26- But, yeah, I bet it has no connection to the owl. - I bet there are owls THERE.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28I do hope so.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31There can't be a town without an owl in the whole of the UK.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34- There's a folk song there, isn't there?- A town without an owl.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37# She came from a town without an owl... #
0:02:37 > 0:02:39- She didn't give a hoot. - Ha-ha, ha-ha!
0:02:39 > 0:02:42GROANING There we are!
0:02:42 > 0:02:46Now then, Dave and Jan didn't win the jackpot last time,
0:02:46 > 0:02:48they weren't as clever as Tom and Sam...
0:02:48 > 0:02:51LAUGHTER ..which means we add another £1,000, so today's jackpot
0:02:51 > 0:02:55starts off at £2,000. There we are.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Now, remember this, the pair with the highest score at the end
0:03:06 > 0:03:08of each round will be eliminated.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11So, you know what you have to do to make sure you're not that pair.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15Best of luck to all four pairs. Our first category today is...
0:03:17 > 0:03:21Can you all decide in your pairs, who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:03:21 > 0:03:22THEY WHISPER
0:03:22 > 0:03:26And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30OK, let's find out what the question is, here it comes.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:03:37 > 0:03:40..US states containing the letters U or S.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Yeah, simply looking for any of the 50 US states
0:03:42 > 0:03:45that have the letters U or S anywhere in the names, please.
0:03:45 > 0:03:50Thank you very much indeed. Steph, a warm welcome, from Loughborough?
0:03:50 > 0:03:52- Yes.- What keeps you busy in Loughborough, Steph?
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Erm, work, mostly.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56- Nice work?- Yeah, nice work, yeah, I actually work
0:03:56 > 0:03:59in Nottingham, and we just live in Loughborough.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01What work do you do in Nottingham?
0:04:01 > 0:04:04- So, I project manage e-learning courses.- That's an online thing?
0:04:04 > 0:04:09Yeah, so, it's normally for big companies that do it internally for
0:04:09 > 0:04:14- their employees...- Right. - ..so I would project manage the creation of those courses.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17I see. And do you ever go out and sort of road test it, with...
0:04:17 > 0:04:20- Take it round the companies, see how they do?- No, we normally just get
0:04:20 > 0:04:23feedback from the company that says, "Can you fix this, please?"
0:04:23 > 0:04:25You just stay up in Nottingham, quite right.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28Now, Steph, what would you like to go for?
0:04:28 > 0:04:30a US state with a U or an S in its name.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34- I think I'll go for Nebraska, please.- Nebraska, says Steph.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37Let's see how many of our 100 people said Nebraska.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42It's right.
0:04:47 > 0:04:499! Well done.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52I think that's a very good start to the round, Steph.
0:04:52 > 0:04:57- Lovely single-digit score. - Well played, Steph, they call it the Cornhusker State or the Beef State.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00The Owl State. LAUGHTER
0:05:00 > 0:05:04- There must be one.- I bet there is! - Again, I bet there's no states without owls.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08- Owls get everywhere, don't they? - Couldn't come from a state without an owl.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10No, of course you couldn't, it'd be crazy.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13- Now, Sue, welcome to Pointless. Great to have you here.- Thank you.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15What keeps you busy, Sue?
0:05:15 > 0:05:20Well, technically, I'm retired, but I also work part-time as
0:05:20 > 0:05:23a child development psychologist.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25So, how long have you been doing that?
0:05:25 > 0:05:28Was that something you were doing before you retired as well?
0:05:28 > 0:05:31- No, no, no, since I retired.- So, you've taken that up in retirement?
0:05:31 > 0:05:35- That sounds like taking on a whole new job?- Well, it is, actually.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37- I've been doing it for 11 years. - Goodness.
0:05:37 > 0:05:42- That's the age of my eldest grandchild.- Lovely.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45And you must enjoy that, it must be very fulfilling.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Yes, I'm kept very busy by all seven of my grandchildren and
0:05:48 > 0:05:52that's what I mean when I'm a child psychologist.
0:05:52 > 0:05:57LAUGHTER Oh, I see! I... I get you, I walked right into that.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59LAUGHTER
0:05:59 > 0:06:02- I thought you were very impressed. - I was!
0:06:02 > 0:06:04But you're right, you put it in exactly the right context.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08And while we're there, I must say hello to all of them, please.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12- Right, come on, your time is running now. Let's see, can you remember them all?- OK, OK...
0:06:12 > 0:06:16- Yes, hello, Max...- Max. - ..Isaac...- Isaac. - ..Jade...- Jade.- ..Chloe...- Chloe.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20- ..Oscar...- Oscar. - ..Charlie... ..Teddy...- Foxtrot.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Sorry, Teddy. LAUGHTER
0:06:22 > 0:06:26- Love you lots! - Ooh, I caught that.- Aw, nice.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29All right, you can have it, you can have it. There we are.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33- Now, Sue, what about a US state with a U or an S in it ?- Kentucky.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38Kentucky, says Sue. Let's see how many of our 100 people said Kentucky.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43It's right.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Look at that, 11! For Kentucky. Good grouping.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57- Yeah, known for the Kentucky owl. - LAUGHTER
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Which is a famous... It's a delicacy.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03- There's a secret recipe for that, isn't there?- Yeah, there is.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05- KFO is the name of the company. - LAUGHTER
0:07:07 > 0:07:11- There we are. Sam, welcome back to Pointless.- Thank you.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14We discovered you were in your last year at Exeter. Cos you were
0:07:14 > 0:07:17- doing international relations.- Yes.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19- And wanted to go into the art world. - Yes.
0:07:19 > 0:07:25Um, from a really young age, I've been going to art...galleries
0:07:25 > 0:07:29and grown up around artists and things like that.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31See, that's nice. And do you have a favourite era of art?
0:07:31 > 0:07:36- A type of art? - Probably 1900 to...1950.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40- British, European? - Mainly European, yeah.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44European. And, I mean, what do you now call that?
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Because there was a time presumably that was called modern art.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49Well, it is now called...modern art now, which makes no sense.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53- It makes no sense at all, someone's going to have to... Maybe you're the person, Sam.- Absolutely.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56- You can devise a new name for that era.- Absolutely!
0:07:56 > 0:07:58- Erm, very good. Gosh, well, best of luck with that.- Thank you.
0:07:58 > 0:08:03- That's going to be very exciting. Sam, what would you like to go for? - I'm going to go for...New Hampshire.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07New Hampshire, says Sam, Let's see how many of our 100 people went for New Hampshire.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Oh, look at that, 7!
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Sam and Tom, once again, demonstrating their excellence.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25Another very good answer, very well done, yeah, New Hampshire,
0:08:25 > 0:08:28most famous for the New Hampshire owl.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30LAUGHTER
0:08:30 > 0:08:33- It's very small, isn't it, the New Hampshire owl?- It's a tiny owl.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36- It's like a newer version of... Have you ever been to Hampshire?- Mm.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38- You know the owls there?- Mm. - But, yeah,
0:08:38 > 0:08:41slightly smaller and the screen is slightly better definition.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45Do you know, some people say the New Hampshire owl is in fact just a fly.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47No, it's very much, if you look at it through binoculars,
0:08:47 > 0:08:49it's a fully fledged owl.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52There we go, thank you very much indeed.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54- Angela, welcome to Pointless.- Hi. - Great to have you here.
0:08:54 > 0:08:59- What do you do, Angela? - OK, I work as Digital Communications Manager within the NHS.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Right, where are you based to do that?
0:09:01 > 0:09:03I'm actually based at Northwick Park Hospital in Harrow,
0:09:03 > 0:09:06- which looks after north-west London. - I see.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09But presumably, being digital, you're in touch with everywhere.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12- I am out there in the ether, yeah, I'm everywhere.- You are.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15- What do you do in your spare time, your downtime from the digital world?- In my downtime,
0:09:15 > 0:09:19I love reading and I love to write as well. I have been
0:09:19 > 0:09:22a writer in the past, I've written a couple of teenage novels.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25- Do you know, I honestly thought you said "breeding" there.- Me too.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28- Breeding?! I've done that once! - I was just going to say an animal, or...
0:09:28 > 0:09:32- "I love breeding." - That's what I heard as well.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36I don't know if it says more about us or you. But that is what I heard.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39All right, now, Angela, we've had an interesting array of scores,
0:09:39 > 0:09:43all odd numbers, going up in twos. What would you like to go for?
0:09:43 > 0:09:46I'm going to go for the silent S of Illinois.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Illinois - see, I like that as a tactic.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Let's see how many of our 100 people said Illinois.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00It's right. Will it be another odd number? Will it go down to 5?
0:10:02 > 0:10:04- 11!- Not bad.
0:10:04 > 0:10:0711. Another odd number. Illinois.
0:10:07 > 0:10:11I like the thinking though, the silent S, it's very smart, yeah.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14- The Prairie State, Illinois. - Thank you very much. Well, we're
0:10:14 > 0:10:16halfway through the round, let's take a look at those scores.
0:10:16 > 0:10:187 from Sam was the best score of the pass.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Sam and Tom once again at the top of the table,
0:10:20 > 0:10:23then we travel up to 9, where we find Steph and Arthur,
0:10:23 > 0:10:26then up to 11, where we have a lovely large gathering there.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29We've got Angela and Nick and Sue and Jane.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31At the moment, you are the joint high-scorers.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33We're going to come back down the line now.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36Can the second players please step up to the podium.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42- OK, so, Nick.- Hello.- Welcome to Pointless. What do you do, Nick?
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Like Angela, I work in the NHS.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47I literally started my job yesterday...
0:10:47 > 0:10:50Oh, first day, you said "Oh, sorry, I won't be in tomorrow"?
0:10:50 > 0:10:52It is a day off, I'm not sick!
0:10:52 > 0:10:56OK, that's good. What department are you in?
0:10:56 > 0:11:00I do communications, so, engagement, marketing,
0:11:00 > 0:11:02dealing with and promoting campaigns, that kind of thing.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04I see. And based on your first day at the office,
0:11:04 > 0:11:07- did they seem like a nice bunch? - It was amazing.- Oh, that's good.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10Really, really lovely people...if they're watching.
0:11:10 > 0:11:11If I'm still there.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14OK, this will be edited out - what are they really like, Nick? Really?
0:11:14 > 0:11:17- They were Pointless fans. - Oh, lovely people!
0:11:17 > 0:11:20Oh, that's...our kind of people, absolutely.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23Now, then, Nick, you're on 11, you're joint high-scorers.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26- What would you like to go for? - I'd like to choose South Dakota.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30South Dakota, says Nick. No red line because you are joint
0:11:30 > 0:11:33high-scorers, let's see how many of our 100 people said South Dakota.
0:11:41 > 0:11:4622 for South Dakota. Interesting.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Taking your total up to 33.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Well, it does begin with an S and it's got a U in it as well.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Thank you very much indeed.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56- Tom, welcome back.- Hello. - Remind us what you do.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59I'm a student at Exeter University as well. With Sam.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01But we discovered last time you're taking
0:12:01 > 0:12:05- a year off to go off to Australia. - Indeed, yes. To get a bit of sun.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07So when are you going to leave? After our summer, presumably?
0:12:07 > 0:12:10After our summer, yeah. And then be there for the Australian summer.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13So just chase... Oh, it's going to be fantastic.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15And have you worked out what you're going to do there?
0:12:15 > 0:12:19I'll be playing cricket for the local club and then probably
0:12:19 > 0:12:22- do a bit of part-time work. Mum's probably watching, so... - I was going to say...
0:12:22 > 0:12:25People seem to go round door-to-door selling books, that's something
0:12:25 > 0:12:28that I've never come across in any other country apart from Australia.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31- Interesting. Maybe that's my calling.- That will be your calling.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Anyway, now, Tom, there you are, you're on 7,
0:12:33 > 0:12:36the high-scorers on 33 are Andrew and Nick behind you.
0:12:36 > 0:12:3925 or less keeps you in, but I think if you're going to look
0:12:39 > 0:12:43Sam in the eye, you're going to have to either equal or better his score.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46I think I'm going to go for Rhode Island.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Rhode Island, says Tom. Here is your red line.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51If you can get below that red line with Rhode Island,
0:12:51 > 0:12:54you're through to the next round. How many people said it?
0:12:56 > 0:12:57It's right.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03You're into Round Two.
0:13:03 > 0:13:053, look at that, Tom!
0:13:05 > 0:13:07Very well done indeed.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10Taking your total up to 10 there.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13Very well played, Tom, yes, nicknamed the Ocean State,
0:13:13 > 0:13:15it's very well-known for its sea owls.
0:13:15 > 0:13:16LAUGHTER
0:13:16 > 0:13:20Thank you very much, Richard. Jane. Welcome to Pointless.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23Great to have you here, what you do, Jane?
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Well, I'm a volunteer at my local charity, which is the
0:13:26 > 0:13:29- Children's Trust in Tadworth. - In Tadworth.
0:13:29 > 0:13:30And how often do you volunteer there?
0:13:30 > 0:13:32A couple of mornings a week,
0:13:32 > 0:13:35I work in the charity shop in the village.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38That's nice, and what are your interests, Jane?
0:13:38 > 0:13:42Well, I love reading, I love entertaining - my husband and I
0:13:42 > 0:13:46love to have all our friends round the table with nice food and wine.
0:13:46 > 0:13:51Very nice, yes, a good dinner that goes on into the night. Fantastic.
0:13:51 > 0:13:52Now, Jane, you're on 11,
0:13:52 > 0:13:56our high-scorers on 33 are Nick and Angela, so 21 or less.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00I'm going to say Minnesota.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03Minnesota, says Jane. Here is your red line.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06Get below that, you're through to the next round,
0:14:06 > 0:14:09let's see how many of our 100 people said Minnesota.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19You've done it. 11. There we are.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22Great grouping, you and Sue, absolutely alike on your scores.
0:14:22 > 0:14:2422 is your total.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26The Land Of 10,000 Lakes and the birthplace of
0:14:26 > 0:14:30Bob Dylan, Judy Garland and F Scott Fitzgerald.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33- Beautifully said. - Thank you.- There we are.
0:14:33 > 0:14:34Arthur, welcome to Pointless.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Great to have you here from Loughborough. And what do you do?
0:14:37 > 0:14:40I am an export manager for the great company that is Rolls-Royce.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44That's exciting. So mainly selling aeroplane parts?
0:14:44 > 0:14:47It's the engines, yes. As opposed to the cars. Separate company.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50Well, that's exciting, and what are your interests, Arthur,
0:14:50 > 0:14:53- aside from work? - It's a bit of a bizarre mixture.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56I enjoy sport, both playing and watching it, and I also enjoy
0:14:56 > 0:14:59sampling and drinking wine - but not at the same time!
0:14:59 > 0:15:01Why not?! Ah!
0:15:01 > 0:15:05- That's the kind of football- I- love. - Different kind of sport, I suppose.
0:15:05 > 0:15:06Very good indeed.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08Now, 9 is your score,
0:15:08 > 0:15:10lovely low score from Steph in the first pass.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13The high score is still 33 at the far end there.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16So, 23 or less gets you through.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20I've been bouncing around that enormous country and I think
0:15:20 > 0:15:23I'm going to settle on West Virginia.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26West Virginia, says Arthur. Here is your red line.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29If you get below that with West Virginia, you're into Round Two.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31How many people said it?
0:15:34 > 0:15:36It's right.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42You've done it. Very well done indeed. Look at that.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44Down to 3.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Equalling Tom's excellent score, taking your total up to 12.
0:15:46 > 0:15:51- Very well done on podium one. - Terrific work all round, actually. There's no pointless answers at all.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53The best possible answers you can give - and there's only two
0:15:53 > 0:15:55of them - would have scored you 3 points
0:15:55 > 0:15:57so Arthur and Tom got the best answers you could have given,
0:15:57 > 0:16:00very well played, with Rhode Island and West Virginia.
0:16:00 > 0:16:024 points for Connecticut, 6 for Wisconsin then we go up to
0:16:02 > 0:16:04New Hampshire, which Sam gave us, on 7,
0:16:04 > 0:16:069 points for Nebraska, Pennsylvania,
0:16:06 > 0:16:0910 for Louisiana. 11, we've already had three 11s,
0:16:09 > 0:16:11but New Jersey also would have scored you 11.
0:16:11 > 0:16:1513 for Kansas, 16 for Tennessee, 17 for Massachusetts,
0:16:15 > 0:16:2118 for Arkansas, 20 for Missouri, 25 for Mississippi and South Carolina,
0:16:21 > 0:16:2432 for Alaska, and the top three, let's take a look at them.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35Thank you very much indeed, Richard. So, we are at the end of our first round.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37The pair we have to say goodbye to,
0:16:37 > 0:16:41with their not-very-high score at all of 33 is Nick and Angela.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Nothing wrong with either of your answers, they just happened to
0:16:43 > 0:16:46- score a lot.- Yeah.- And not even that much. But you just are
0:16:46 > 0:16:49our high-scorers, I'm afraid, so we have do say goodbye to you,
0:16:49 > 0:16:51we'll see you again next time. I'm sure it'll go much, much better but
0:16:51 > 0:16:54meantime, thanks so much, Nick and Angela.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59But, for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07And so we are suddenly down to three pairs and at the end of this
0:17:07 > 0:17:09round, I'm afraid to say we'll have to say goodbye to another pair
0:17:09 > 0:17:11in time for our head-to-head round.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14Well, Arthur and Tom, very well done, congratulations for your
0:17:14 > 0:17:17lovely low scores but we move on to a new topic now.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19So, who knows? We might have new low-scorers.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23Best of luck to all three pairs. Our category for Round Two today is...
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Oh, Sam, look at that. Art.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40OK, and the question concerns...
0:17:43 > 0:17:46- Richard.- Yeah, we're going to give you some lists now of artworks by
0:17:46 > 0:17:49different artists, you just have to tell us who the artists are,
0:17:49 > 0:17:51please. We're going to give you their initials as well,
0:17:51 > 0:17:53there's going to be six lists on the first board,
0:17:53 > 0:17:556 on the second - 12 in all to guess at home. Good luck.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57Thanks very much indeed,
0:17:57 > 0:17:59let's reveal our works of art and here they are.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Our first board of six reads like this.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32I'm going to read those all one last time.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58Now then, Arthur, what would you like to go for?
0:18:58 > 0:19:01I'm torn slightly between two.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08So, I'm going to go for the bottom choice, and that is Paul Gauguin.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12Paul Gauguin says Arthur, let's see if that's right,
0:19:12 > 0:19:15let's see how many of our 100 people agree with Arthur.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19It is Paul Gauguin.
0:19:23 > 0:19:24And it's a good score.
0:19:24 > 0:19:28Look at that, 16. Very well done indeed, Arthur. 16.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33Yeah, "When Will You Marry?" was sold in 2015
0:19:33 > 0:19:36for 300 million.
0:19:36 > 0:19:37RICHARD WHISTLES Ooh-eee!
0:19:37 > 0:19:39It included the frame, but still...
0:19:41 > 0:19:45Thank you very much, Richard. Jane, now, what would you like to go for?
0:19:46 > 0:19:50I'm going to go for the second one down - Salvador Dali.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53Salvador Dali, says Jane, let's see how many of our 100 people
0:19:53 > 0:19:55agree with Jane on Salvador Dali.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00It's good.
0:20:03 > 0:20:0616 is our only score, 25 is what
0:20:06 > 0:20:08we get for Salvador Dali.
0:20:08 > 0:20:09Well played.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12That's the extraordinary painting in the Kelvingrove Art Gallery
0:20:12 > 0:20:15- and Museum in Glasgow. - Thank you, Richard.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Now, Tom, this board is all yours.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21- Talk us through the board as much as you can.- I can't, I'm afraid.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24I'm going to have to go for the only one which I think I know,
0:20:24 > 0:20:27which is the third one down, and Leonardo da Vinci.
0:20:27 > 0:20:31OK, leaving Sam with a mountain to climb quite possibly,
0:20:31 > 0:20:33maybe not, let's see, Leonardo da Vinci,
0:20:33 > 0:20:36how far down the column do we get with that?
0:20:39 > 0:20:40It's right.
0:20:43 > 0:20:4654. Not bad, actually, could have been a lot worse.
0:20:46 > 0:20:4854 for Leonardo da Vinci.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51Yeah, the Mona Lisa was stolen in 1911 by an Italian handyman,
0:20:51 > 0:20:53but he only got a few months in prison as he actually said
0:20:53 > 0:20:56he only stole it because he wanted to return it to Italy.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58He wasn't trying to get any financial gain out of it.
0:20:58 > 0:21:02- Now, the top one, The Weeping Woman etc?- Picasso.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04Pablo Picasso.
0:21:04 > 0:21:05Would have scored you 32. The Kiss?
0:21:05 > 0:21:07GK?
0:21:07 > 0:21:10- I know it.- Yes, I know you do.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13- Oh, who is it?- Can I say?
0:21:13 > 0:21:16- Gustav Klimt!- Gustav Klimt! Of course it is, yes, sorry.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19Absolutely right. Would have scored you 14.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21This is the best answer, risky if you went for this.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23Bridget Riley is the answer there.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25Another terrific artist. Would have scored you 1 point.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27- Very well done if you said that at home.- There we are.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31Thank you very much indeed. So, let's take a look at those scores. We're halfway through the round.
0:21:31 > 0:21:3416, very well done, the best score of the pass, Arthur and Steph.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Currently looking like hot favourites to get into the
0:21:36 > 0:21:39head-to-head, I'd say, then up to 25 we find Jane and Sue, then up
0:21:39 > 0:21:41to 54, Tom and Sam.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43Now, Sam, if anyone can do it,
0:21:43 > 0:21:46you can, but a little bit of pressure on you there. You'll have
0:21:46 > 0:21:48the new board so make sure you find the low-scoring one there.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51That should keep you in the game. We're going to come back down the line now -
0:21:51 > 0:21:54could the second players please step up to the podium?
0:21:57 > 0:22:01OK, let's put six more sets of works of art up on the board,
0:22:01 > 0:22:03and here they are.
0:22:30 > 0:22:31I'm going to read those all again.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Sam.
0:22:53 > 0:23:00Um, I'm going to go for The Card Players,
0:23:00 > 0:23:04which is Paul Cezanne.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06OK. Paul Cezanne, says Sam.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10No red line for you because you're currently the high-scorers,
0:23:10 > 0:23:12let's see how many of our 100 people got Paul Cezanne.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25It's exactly what we needed. Very well done indeed.
0:23:25 > 0:23:295, taking your total up to 59. Very good, Sam.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31There were five paintings that he did The Card Players,
0:23:31 > 0:23:36one of which sold for 250 million to the Qatari royal family.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38Thank you very much, Richard.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Sue. The high score is 59.
0:23:40 > 0:23:44You're on 25, so 33 or less keeps you in.
0:23:44 > 0:23:48Well, this is the moment when I think, "What I doing here?
0:23:48 > 0:23:50"Why did I say yes?"
0:23:51 > 0:23:56I'm going to have to go for the water lily one - Claude Monet.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Claude Monet, says Sue.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01Here is your red line. Get below that with Claude Monet...
0:24:01 > 0:24:05It's not too far down. ..and you're through to the head-to-head.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Let's see how many of our 100 people said Claude Monet.
0:24:10 > 0:24:11It's right.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17Oh, you've done it. Look at that. 26.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22- Very good indeed. 51 is your total. - Yeah, well played.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24Surprisingly low score, I think.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26I think some of the hundred worried about Monet, Manet,
0:24:26 > 0:24:28and that sort of thing.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30Monet had two brothers, and ABBA wrote a song about them.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32LAUGHTER
0:24:32 > 0:24:34Thank you very much indeed, Richard.
0:24:34 > 0:24:39Now, this is going to be crucial, Steph, your answer at this point,
0:24:39 > 0:24:43you're on a nice low score, thanks to Arthur's answer in the first pass.
0:24:43 > 0:24:4642 or less is what you have to score.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48Do you feel like talking us through the board?
0:24:48 > 0:24:51I think the top one is Vincent van Gogh,
0:24:51 > 0:24:56I think the bottom one is Edvard Munch but I'm going to go for
0:24:56 > 0:24:59the second one down, and say Georgia O'Keeffe.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Georgia O'Keeffe.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Now, there is your red line. If you can get below that
0:25:04 > 0:25:06with Georgia O'Keeffe, you are through to the head-to-head.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09And we send our resident art expert home.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12How many of our 100 people went for Georgia O'Keeffe?
0:25:16 > 0:25:18It's right.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22And you're through.
0:25:24 > 0:25:25Very well done indeed.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32That's a terrific answer, Stephanie, well played.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35Another one of the artists up in the millions of dollars now,
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Georgia O'Keeffe. Now there's a pointless answer up there.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40It's not one of the other two you went for -
0:25:40 > 0:25:42you went for Vincent van Gogh as well...
0:25:43 > 0:25:46And you are right about Edvard Munch at the bottom as well.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48But this one is a pointless answer.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50Number 5, when it was sold, was the most expensive painting
0:25:50 > 0:25:54- in the history of art. - Jackson Pollock.- Yeah.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57And it's a pointless answer, very well done if you said that at home.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00There we are, thank you very much indeed. So, at the end
0:26:00 > 0:26:02of our second round, the pair who are heading home
0:26:02 > 0:26:05with their high score of 59, I'm so sorry, Sam and Tom -
0:26:05 > 0:26:07and to go out on an Art round as well!
0:26:07 > 0:26:08LAUGHTER
0:26:08 > 0:26:11Nothing wrong with your score, Sam, erm...Tom...
0:26:11 > 0:26:13It's been great having you on the show, Tom...
0:26:13 > 0:26:15LAUGHTER
0:26:15 > 0:26:18Thank you, both, so much, it's been great. Thanks so much, Sam and Tom.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24But for the remaining two pairs it's now time for our head-to-head.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31Congratulations, Arthur and Steph, Jane and Sue, you are now
0:26:31 > 0:26:34one step closer to the final and the chance to play for our
0:26:34 > 0:26:36jackpot, which currently stands at...
0:26:40 > 0:26:42Well, you've reached the head-to-head,
0:26:42 > 0:26:44which is wonderful, it means you are now allowed to confer
0:26:44 > 0:26:47before you give your answers. First pair to win two questions
0:26:47 > 0:26:50will be playing for that jackpot. Very best of luck,
0:26:50 > 0:26:51let's play the head-to-head.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00OK, here comes your first question and it concerns...
0:27:04 > 0:27:08- Richard...- Going to show you five stills from George Clooney films, can you name the films?
0:27:08 > 0:27:11OK, let's reveal our stills, and here they come.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13We've got...
0:27:38 > 0:27:41There we are. Five George Clooney films. Now then,
0:27:41 > 0:27:43Arthur and Steph, you've been our low-scorers, so you will go
0:27:43 > 0:27:45first...
0:27:45 > 0:27:50We're going to go for C, which is Burn After Reading.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52Burn After Reading, say Arthur and Steph.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55Now then, Jane and Sue, that board is all yours,
0:27:55 > 0:27:58do you want to talk us through it?
0:27:58 > 0:28:00No!
0:28:00 > 0:28:04Erm, can't remember what A is, but it's reasonably recent, I think.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06I think the only one we're really sure about is E...
0:28:08 > 0:28:12- Which is...- Gravity.- Gravity! Sorry, nearly forgot.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14- Gravity.- OK, that's the one you are going to go for, so
0:28:14 > 0:28:17we have Burn After Reading and we have Gravity.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19Arthur and Steph said Burn After Reading, let's see if
0:28:19 > 0:28:22that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people got it...
0:28:26 > 0:28:27It's right.
0:28:32 > 0:28:33Oh, that's a good...
0:28:35 > 0:28:38HE LAUGHS Very well done, Arthur and Steph!
0:28:38 > 0:28:39Burn After Reading.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43Now then, Jane and Sue, you've got your work cut out here,
0:28:43 > 0:28:46you have gone for Gravity for E, let's see
0:28:46 > 0:28:48how far down the column we get with that.
0:28:51 > 0:28:52It's right.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02Not bad, but there's no beating a score like 1, well done,
0:29:02 > 0:29:04Arthur and Steph - after one question you are up 1-0.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07Yeah, some terrific scoring on today's show.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10Really, really high-quality stuff. There's three Coen brothers'
0:29:10 > 0:29:14films there, all the lowest-scorers...
0:29:14 > 0:29:17Got very bad reviews, I rather enjoyed it...
0:29:22 > 0:29:24And the other Coen brothers' movie is...
0:29:26 > 0:29:27Another great film...
0:29:29 > 0:29:32Thanks very much indeed, Richard. So here comes your second question,
0:29:32 > 0:29:34Jane and Sue. You get to answer it first but you have to win
0:29:34 > 0:29:36this one to stay in the game, so good luck.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39The second question in this round is all about...
0:29:42 > 0:29:45Yeah, simply five clues now to facts about The Royal Society
0:29:45 > 0:29:47- and its members. Very best of luck. - Thanks very much.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50Let's reveal our five clues, here they come...
0:29:50 > 0:29:52We've got...
0:30:17 > 0:30:18I'm going to read those all again...
0:30:43 > 0:30:45Jane and Sue, you will go first.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49THEY WHISPER
0:30:53 > 0:30:55Well, this is hopeless for both of us, erm...
0:30:57 > 0:30:58Just going to guess at the volcano -
0:30:58 > 0:31:02- Krakatoa. - Krakatoa, say Jane and Sue.
0:31:02 > 0:31:05Now, Arthur and Steph, that board is all yours,
0:31:05 > 0:31:07do you want to talk us through it?
0:31:07 > 0:31:08Yes... So...
0:31:09 > 0:31:13We think, but we're not - annoyingly - sure enough
0:31:13 > 0:31:17that the top one is Charles II. The physicist is Isaac Newton.
0:31:17 > 0:31:21The diarist and naval administrator, we're liking the look
0:31:21 > 0:31:26of Samuel Pepys. And we don't know about Charles Babbage...
0:31:26 > 0:31:30So I think we're going to try the third one, as Samuel Pepys.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33Samuel Pepys, say Arthur and Steph. So we have Krakatoa
0:31:33 > 0:31:36and we have Samuel Pepys. Jane and Sue took a punt on Krakatoa,
0:31:36 > 0:31:38let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said it,
0:31:38 > 0:31:40if it is...
0:31:43 > 0:31:45It is right.
0:31:45 > 0:31:49Very well done indeed, Jane and Sue, that takes you down...
0:31:49 > 0:31:51That's a great score as well, Krakatoa.
0:31:54 > 0:31:58Meanwhile, Arthur and Steph have gone for Samuel Pepys.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people
0:32:01 > 0:32:02said Samuel Pepys.
0:32:06 > 0:32:07It's right.
0:32:11 > 0:32:15Oh... Very well done, Jane and Sue. Back in the game.
0:32:15 > 0:32:18There we are, after two questions it's 1-1.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20Yeah, an extraordinary event, the eruption of Krakatoa.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23There's a book, I think by Simon Winchester, about it,
0:32:23 > 0:32:25which is terrific, absolutely fascinating.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28Now, if you had gone for Charles II, you'd have been right
0:32:28 > 0:32:30but you wouldn't have won the point.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32But you would have been right, so that's good.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34The physicist is, of course...
0:32:37 > 0:32:39And the computer - this is the best answer on the board,
0:32:39 > 0:32:41it's a phrase I always love.
0:32:43 > 0:32:46Fantastic. Right, there we are. I KNEW this was going to be close.
0:32:46 > 0:32:47LAUGHTER
0:32:47 > 0:32:50Moment of great inspiration there from Jane and Sue,
0:32:50 > 0:32:53brought them back into contention, so it all hangs in the balance -
0:32:53 > 0:32:55whoever wins this goes through to the final.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57Our third question is all about...
0:33:01 > 0:33:04- Richard.- We're going to show you the names now of five school subjects,
0:33:04 > 0:33:07but they are in German. Can you give us the most common
0:33:07 > 0:33:10translations of these, please, and whoever does, in the most
0:33:10 > 0:33:12obscure way, will be going through to play for that jackpot.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15OK, let's reveal our five school subjects in German,
0:33:15 > 0:33:16and here they come...
0:33:35 > 0:33:37So, Arthur and Steph, you will go first this time.
0:33:39 > 0:33:42THEY WHISPER
0:33:42 > 0:33:46- Not 100% sure. - I think that's too obvious...
0:33:46 > 0:33:48- Yeah?- Yeah.- OK.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51We'd like to go for the fourth one, please, Kunst,
0:33:51 > 0:33:54- and we believe that is Art.- Art,
0:33:54 > 0:33:57say Arthur and Steph, Art. Now then, Jane and Sue,
0:33:57 > 0:34:00the board is all yours. Do you want to talk us through it?
0:34:00 > 0:34:02Well, the bottom one is German, I think.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05LAUGHTER
0:34:05 > 0:34:08The middle one's... Oh, could be French...
0:34:10 > 0:34:13THEY WHISPER
0:34:20 > 0:34:24- Top one - history.- History? Go on, then, go on.
0:34:24 > 0:34:28We're going to guess... the top one, history.
0:34:29 > 0:34:34OK, Informatik - history. So we have art and we have history.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37Arthur and Steph have gone for art for Kunst.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said
0:34:40 > 0:34:42Art...
0:34:53 > 0:34:5621. Now, Jane and Sue...
0:34:56 > 0:34:59These wild stabs in the dark you have been taking
0:34:59 > 0:35:01have been fantastically successful so far.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03- Informatik, let's find out if this...- Thanks(!)
0:35:03 > 0:35:05..continues. Informatik, is it History
0:35:05 > 0:35:07and how many people said History, if it is?
0:35:10 > 0:35:11Oh, bad luck!
0:35:11 > 0:35:14Bad luck. Which means, Arthur and Steph, very well done.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17After three questions, you are through to the final, 2-1.
0:35:17 > 0:35:21Yeah, it's IT, I'm afraid, Informatik, computer science...
0:35:23 > 0:35:26You're right about Deutsch at the bottom.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31And Franzosisch...
0:35:31 > 0:35:32Another big scorer, though.
0:35:32 > 0:35:35So you would have had to have a guess at this last one,
0:35:35 > 0:35:38I think, cos this is the best scorer...
0:35:38 > 0:35:40And if you'd guessed...History...
0:35:40 > 0:35:43- Oh, no!- ..you'd be in the final...
0:35:45 > 0:35:47Thanks very much, Richard, so the pair leaving us
0:35:47 > 0:35:49at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:35:49 > 0:35:51it's Jane and Sue. But it's good news, really,
0:35:51 > 0:35:54cos it means we get to see you again next show, we'll look forward
0:35:54 > 0:35:56to that very much. Meantime, thanks so much,
0:35:56 > 0:35:58Jane and Sue...
0:35:58 > 0:36:00APPLAUSE
0:36:00 > 0:36:02But for Arthur and Steph it's now time for our
0:36:02 > 0:36:03Pointless Final.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09Congratulations, Arthur and Steph, you have fought off all
0:36:09 > 0:36:12the competition and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot,
0:36:21 > 0:36:23and at the end of today's show the jackpot is...
0:36:28 > 0:36:32Well done. I mean, no great surprise - from your first answer
0:36:32 > 0:36:35onwards, it's been quite consistent low scoring,
0:36:35 > 0:36:37which is very good. Anything you badly want to see
0:36:37 > 0:36:39come up in this last round?
0:36:40 > 0:36:44- You're quite good at politics.- Yeah. - Geography.- Sport's usually
0:36:44 > 0:36:46- kind to us when we watch Pointless on TV.- Don't like sports.
0:36:46 > 0:36:50- Geography would be nice.- You like geography, we both like geography.
0:36:50 > 0:36:53- Maybe science.- Fingers crossed there is something up on the board
0:36:53 > 0:36:55today that one of you at least will be happy with.
0:36:55 > 0:36:57Today's categories are...
0:37:07 > 0:37:09Golden Raspberries are the opposite of the Oscars.
0:37:09 > 0:37:12Yeah, but I only know really famous ones.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15- Premier League Managers - I'm probably on my own...- Yep.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17- But I do enjoy that.- You would know more about that than I would
0:37:17 > 0:37:20- know about anything else so... - You're sure you don't want to go film?
0:37:20 > 0:37:23- Yep.- OK. All right. Then, in that case
0:37:23 > 0:37:25we'll go for Premier League Managers, please.
0:37:25 > 0:37:27- Premier League Managers it is. - Well, judging by your performance
0:37:27 > 0:37:30on the rest of the show, you've got a real chance here, I think.
0:37:30 > 0:37:31This is what we're looking for...
0:37:31 > 0:37:34Anyone who has been a full-time Premier League manager
0:37:34 > 0:37:37from '92-'93 all the way through to January 2016,
0:37:37 > 0:37:41who has also been capped for Ireland or Northern Ireland, or...
0:37:46 > 0:37:48So any full-time manager in the Premier League from
0:37:48 > 0:37:50'92-'93 through to January 2016,
0:37:50 > 0:37:53who's had a full cap for Ireland, Northern Ireland,
0:37:53 > 0:37:56Scotland, England or Wales. Very best of luck.
0:37:56 > 0:37:58Thank you very much indeed. Now, as always, you've got
0:37:58 > 0:38:00up to one minute to come up with three answers, and all you
0:38:00 > 0:38:03need to win that jackpot is for just one of your answers
0:38:03 > 0:38:05to be pointless. Are you ready?
0:38:05 > 0:38:08- Yeah.- Excellent. Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10There they are, your time starts now.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13- OK, have you got any thoughts?- No.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16Scotland's probably the one that's likely to come up with
0:38:16 > 0:38:18the most obscure, so...
0:38:18 > 0:38:22Gordon Strachan is one that comes to me immediately...
0:38:22 > 0:38:24Roy Keane is a bit too obvious.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29I think Peter Reid could be quite a good shout,
0:38:29 > 0:38:32he's a former England...and Premier League manager so that's...
0:38:32 > 0:38:35Peter Reid and Gordon Strachan.
0:38:35 > 0:38:37Welsh managers...
0:38:38 > 0:38:39Let's think...
0:38:42 > 0:38:44Racking my brains, um...
0:38:46 > 0:38:47Only another one.
0:38:50 > 0:38:5220 seconds to go. Um...
0:38:53 > 0:38:56- Somebody else...- You can just use the one you had before...
0:38:56 > 0:39:00- Roy Keane, Gordon Strachan...Peter Reid.- Ten seconds left.
0:39:00 > 0:39:04Just trying to think of someone else obscure...
0:39:07 > 0:39:10- No...- That's it... Yeah, do that.
0:39:10 > 0:39:12OK, well, let's have your three answers.
0:39:12 > 0:39:15- So it will be Roy Keane - Irish. - Roy Keane.
0:39:15 > 0:39:17- Gordon Strachan - Scottish. - Gordon Strachan.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19And Peter Reid - English.
0:39:19 > 0:39:21Peter Reid. Of those three, which is your best shot at a
0:39:21 > 0:39:24- pointless answer, do you think? - I think, fractionally,
0:39:24 > 0:39:26- Gordon Strachan. - Gordon Strachan goes last.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28- Least likely to be pointless? - Roy Keane.- Roy Keane
0:39:28 > 0:39:31we will put first. Let's put those answers up on the board
0:39:31 > 0:39:33in that order, then, and here they are...
0:39:36 > 0:39:39Well, very good luck, three good answers on the board.
0:39:39 > 0:39:43Now, if one of these is pointless and wins that jackpot for you,
0:39:43 > 0:39:46£2,000, what would you like to do with it? Arthur, you first.
0:39:46 > 0:39:51Well, we are engaged and hoping to get married next year,
0:39:51 > 0:39:55so I think, on balance, I would quite like to put it towards that.
0:39:55 > 0:39:56LAUGHTER
0:39:56 > 0:39:59I think, on balance, he said the right thing there, didn't he, Steph?
0:39:59 > 0:40:02- Yeah.- Anything you would like to add to that?- I'm going to go on holiday.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05- LAUGHTER Quite right. What, alone? - No, he can probably come.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08He can come too, that's nice. OK, very best of luck.
0:40:08 > 0:40:10Three good answers, your first answer was Roy Keane.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13In this case we were looking for Irish-capped Premier League managers.
0:40:13 > 0:40:16It has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19So, for £2,000, let's see how many of our 100 people said Roy Keane...
0:40:23 > 0:40:25It's right.
0:40:25 > 0:40:28Now, if Roy Keane can somehow get us all the way down to zero,
0:40:28 > 0:40:31you will leave here immediately with £2,000 in your back pockets.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33Down goes Roy Keane...
0:40:33 > 0:40:34into the teens...
0:40:34 > 0:40:3617 for Roy Keane.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38My least-good answer.
0:40:38 > 0:40:40I think you'd have been very surprised if that had gone
0:40:40 > 0:40:44- down to pointless, he was holding a place there for you, I think.- Yes.
0:40:44 > 0:40:47So we move on to your next answer, which is Peter Reid.
0:40:47 > 0:40:49In this case, we were looking for English and Welsh-capped
0:40:49 > 0:40:51Premier League managers.
0:40:51 > 0:40:54Again, it has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot of £2,000.
0:40:54 > 0:40:56So let's find out how many people said Peter Reid -
0:40:56 > 0:40:57is it pointless?
0:41:01 > 0:41:03Well, it's another correct answer. Roy Keane
0:41:03 > 0:41:06was right and took us all the way down to 17.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08Peter Reid now takes us down through the 20s...
0:41:08 > 0:41:11Into the teens, past the 17, down we go into single figures.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13Down it goes. Still going down...
0:41:13 > 0:41:15You've done it!
0:41:15 > 0:41:16CHEERING
0:41:16 > 0:41:18That is brilliant, well done.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22Very good.
0:41:25 > 0:41:28Very well done indeed. Congratulations, Peter Reid
0:41:28 > 0:41:30is a pointless answer, which means you go home
0:41:30 > 0:41:34with that jackpot of £2,000. Superb work, Arthur and Steph.
0:41:34 > 0:41:36CHEERING
0:41:38 > 0:41:40Nicely done. You know what, you've both been terrific
0:41:40 > 0:41:42all the way through, when you made the smart move
0:41:42 > 0:41:45of if one of you knew something about one of the subjects -
0:41:45 > 0:41:47just leave it to them. That's the way to do this.
0:41:47 > 0:41:49Brilliantly done. If you'd gone on to Gordon Strachan,
0:41:49 > 0:41:52- he would have scored you 13 points. - Interesting.
0:41:52 > 0:41:54So, Peter Reid was your ace in the hole there.
0:41:54 > 0:41:57We'll start with these guys, who were all Irish or Northern Irish internationals.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03..Lawrie Sanchez, who managed Fulham.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06Danny Wilson, Nigel Worthington and Owen Coyle -
0:42:06 > 0:42:08all of those pointless as well. Those were all the
0:42:08 > 0:42:09pointless answers there.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12Scottish now - couple of Arsenal managers to start with...
0:42:15 > 0:42:18..Malky Mackay and Steve Clarke, they were your
0:42:18 > 0:42:19pointless answers there.
0:42:19 > 0:42:21Some big names on this board...
0:42:23 > 0:42:26- Wow!- Obviously in the very early days of the Premier League.
0:42:27 > 0:42:29You also could have had - quite a long list here...
0:42:29 > 0:42:32Brian Kidd, Brian Little, Colin Todd, Gareth Southgate,
0:42:32 > 0:42:35Gerry Francis, Joe Royle, John Gregory, Peter Reid,
0:42:35 > 0:42:38Peter Taylor, Phil Neal, Ray Wilkins, Roy McFarland,
0:42:38 > 0:42:40Sammy Lee, Steve Coppell, Stuart Pearce, Tony Adams
0:42:40 > 0:42:43and Trevor Francis - all of those were pointless answers.
0:42:43 > 0:42:45Very well done if you got any of those at home.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47Thanks very much indeed, Richard, and thanks once again
0:42:47 > 0:42:49to our winning players,
0:42:49 > 0:42:51Arthur and Steph, who go away with today's jackpot of...
0:42:56 > 0:42:59Join us next time, when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge
0:42:59 > 0:43:02to the test on Pointless. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04- Goodbye.- And it's goodbye from me - goodbye.
