Episode 16 Pointless

Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and a very

warm welcome to Pointless, the game where you're always aiming for the lowest score.

Let's meet today's players.

And couple number one.

Hello, I'm Jon from Brighton and this is my friend Andy from Croydon.

-Couple number two.

-Hi, my name is Bev, this is my mum Liz,

and we're from a town called Helensburgh in Scotland.

Couple number three.

Hello, I'm Kieran, this is my brother Callum and we're from Newark in Nottinghamshire.

And finally couple number four.

Hello, I'm Leona and this is my husband Tony and we're from County Durham.

And these are today's contestants.

Thanks very much, all of you, a very warm welcome to Pointless.

Lovely to have you here. We'll get to chat to each of you throughout the show as it goes along.

That just leaves one more person for me to introduce.

Delivering answers every day of the week, except Sundays,

he does Jazzercise on Sundays.

It's my Pointless friend, it's Richard.

Hiya. Hi, everybody. Hello.

-Ah, good afternoon to you.

-Good afternoon.

Oh, I don't think I've ever done Jazzercise. I'm not sure I'd enjoy it.

-Oh, you should.

-That essentially combines two of my least favourite things in one.

-Oh, exercise...

And jazz. See, exercise I don't like but I do, jazz,

I don't like but I don't feel compunction to do it.

Why don't you like jazz? What's wrong with jazz?

Imagine if jazz was good for you. And you had to do jazz every day.

-It

-is

-good for you.

-I'd hate that.

-Do you really hate jazz?

-I don't hate jazz.

-I'm not Johnny.

I tell you Johnny, I was going to say, he hates Jazz.

He really does. No, I don't hate jazz, it just doesn't speak to me.

-Doesn't speak to you.

-Only Jon and Andy back from the last show.

Jon and Andy got through to the head-to-head, which was very impressive.

They were the golden couple, despite being up against a team that had got

two pointless answers previously, which was very impressive.

Dan and Suz, we're going to find out in a second if they got any more pointless answers

in the jackpot, aren't we? I wonder if they did.

-I wonder, did they?

-Or if they didn't.

Two pointless answers during game play.

Did they get any in the jackpot, or didn't they?

Or did they?

Or didn't they?

I've forgotten, did they or didn't they? I can't remember.

Dan and Suz didn't win the jackpot last time,

so we add another £1,000 to it, so today's jackpot starts off at...

There we are.

Right, if everyone's ready, let's play Pointless.

Now remember this. The pair with the highest score will be eliminated

at the end of each round, OK. The pair with the highest score.

So do what you have to do to keep your scores nice and low

and you'll be fine. Best of luck to all four pairs.

Our first category today is...

Can you all decide in your pairs, who's going to go first, who's going to go second?

And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.

OK. And the question concerns...

-Richard.

-We're going to show you the names of seven films on each board,

each of which have three words in their title,

but we've missed out the third word in each case. Can you tell us what it is, please?

Thanks very much Richard. We are looking for the missing third word on each of these film titles.

And here is our first board.

We have got...

I'll read those titles again.

Jon. Welcome back.

-Thank you, good to be back.

-Oh! We had...

Very, very good to have you back. You did awfully well last time.

-Remind us what you do.

-I'm a corporate trainer and coach.

That is right. How long have you been doing that for?

About five or six years.

So when you start out, are you following a model?

I mean, have you got a particular plan that you follow?

Or is it something that you, Jon, have devised?

Some of the time it's a model that's been devised by somebody else.

Sometimes it's something that I, or myself and colleagues and friends have devised.

It's nice. I'm self employed, so I get to work with my friends.

-And you can just make it up!

-You really can.

-Make it up as you go along. Now Jon.

Something you can't make up

as you go along, this round.

What would you like to go for on that board?

Something tells me you know about cinema.

I do, it's a nice subject from me.

I like it. And, I feel like I know

all of these except one.

And the one I'm going to go for...

..I'd say I'm 90% certain of,

I want to say the film with Benedict Cumberbatch was called

The Fifth Estate.

The Fifth Estate, says Jon.

Let's see how many of our 100 people said The Fifth Estate. Is it right?

It is.

Something tells me this is going to

be a nice, impressive low score.

And it is! There we are, Jon.

What a start to the show.

Six for The Fifth Estate.

Lovely start Jon, they're back in business on podium one.

Yes, it's a film about Julian Assange and WikiLeaks.

Thank you, Richard.

Bev, welcome here from Helensburgh. What do you do, Bev?

I am a ranger with Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park.

I think that's just the loveliest job.

-It is the loveliest.

-I could imagine.

In all weathers, it must get quite wild up there.

Yeah, it has been recently.

In all sorts of weathers, but the place is beautiful

in all sorts of weathers. We call it atmospheric in Scotland.

-You know, if it's raining, it's not rain, it's...

-It's atmosphere.

Have you ever seen a golden eagle up there?

Yes. I think.

-I think.

-That's exciting.

Somebody said to me, that if you're out and about in the Highlands of

Scotland, if you don't see a golden eagle,

then at least take solace in the fact that the golden eagle has probably seen you.

Very nice.

Ospreys, do you get those as well?

Yes, we get a lot of ospreys this year.

It's been a bumper year for ospreys.

And it's fantastic to see them all coming back.

-I love them.

-Bev, what would you like to go for?

Oh, boy.

I...

I'm going to go with the George Clooney one,

Fantastic Mr Fox.

Fantastic Mr Fox, says Bev.

Let's see if it's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said Fantastic Mr Fox.

Sorry!

-Oh!

-It's right.

-Phew!

62.

62 for Fantastic Mr Fox.

Yeah, and he voices Mr Fox, that's a lovely film.

There we are. Thank you, Richard.

Kieran, welcome to Pointless.

-Hello.

-Good to have you, from Newark, you said?

-Yes.

-What keeps you busy in Newark, Kieran?

Well, I'm a musician looking for work in the political sector.

Looking to play music in the political sector?

Or a musician, but also looking for work in the political sector?

-Yeah, the latter. Also looking for work.

-I bet the political sector...

Nothing would spruce it up more than a good band.

-I'd love to. I'd love to.

-What do you play?

I play the guitar and keyboard, but I mainly sing.

That's fine. Are you in a band at all or...?

I'm not, no. No, I'm a solo.

-A singer-songwriter?

-That's the one, yeah.

-Very good indeed.

Now, Kieran, what would you like to go for on our board?

I promised Callum that I would try

and get the first answer right,

just to get a little pressure

off him.

So I'm going to go with

the penultimate one,

The Shawshank Redemption.

Redemption, says Kieran.

Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people got The Shawshank Redemption.

HE LAUGHS Listen, you got it right.

You got it right.

I promised you, Cal, I told you I would, buddy.

And that is six points less pressure on Callum...

LAUGHTER

..than if you'd got it wrong, which is good.

Yeah, blimey, talk about needing redemption. That is quite something.

Incredible to remember quite how, sort of,

low key that film was when it was released.

It wasn't a big deal, wasn't the sort of, one

where you go on chat shows,

just one other release in a week of other things.

It absolutely just came in under the radar, didn't it?

-Beautiful film.

-Yeah.

Absolutely. Now then, Leona.

Welcome. Lovely to have you here, from County Durham.

-Thank you.

-And what do you do, Leona?

I've just graduated, and am about to start my teacher training year.

-So...

-Oh, congratulations.

-Thank you.

-Do you know where you will be?

Yes, it's at a college, so it's post-compulsory,

so a little less pressure, they're not as young, so...

That will be nice. Very nice. What are your interests, Leona?

I've just recently taken up karate

with my little girl. So no messing, guys.

Wow, yeah. I was never going to mess! I promise that.

Less so now. So you go along with your girl.

-What's your little girl called?

-She's called Millie, and she's nine.

Millie. Excellent. Who of the pair of you is better at karate?

Millie! A lot better, yeah.

HE CHUCKLES

You're in the same class at the same time,

or do you go off and get taught over there and she's...?

-Yeah, separately.

-So you don't actually...?

-Yeah, we don't have to fight each other.

-That would be terrible.

-That would be wrong. Setting mother against child like that.

It wouldn't be right. Leona, this is your board,

you can talk us through it and fill

in all of those blanks for us,

if you like, and then say which one

-you want to answer.

-Thank you.

Well, the only other ones

that I knew have been taken.

So I'm going to have to just go

with The Great Escape.

The Great Escape, says Leona.

Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said The Great Escape.

-Oh, no!

-Oh...

A little bit of pressure off Callum there.

A little bit more pressure on Tony there.

That scores you 100 points, I'm afraid, Leona.

-Yeah, it's a long time before that, I'm afraid. 1963.

-I thought it was early, yeah.

Robert Redford's not in it as well, that's the other big clue there.

I've never seen it. My dad puts it on, and I turn it off.

Oh, it's good. It's good. You should have watched it.

That one is The Great Gatsby.

Yeah, would have scored you 53 points.

-The top one, one of the greatest films ever made.

-Men.

12 Angry Men. That would have scored 77. Kiss the...?

..Girls. Is the answer to that one. 25 points.

You can probably guess this last one. Sorry Wrong...?

I'm going to say number.

You are correct. That would have scored 32.

So the best answer on the board, Jon, is The Fifth Estate.

Not for the first time, the best answer, well played.

There we are. Thank you very much, Richard.

We're halfway through the round. Let's take a quick look at our scores. 6 the best score,

as Richard says, Jon and Andy looking very strong

on the back of that.

Then we travel up to 62 where we find Bev and Liz,

up to 94 where we find Kieran and Callum,

and then just a hop, skip and a jump up from there is where we find Leona

-and Tony.

-Sorry.

-Tony, you'll get the new board,

so find a nice low-scoring answer on it,

and maybe it will be enough to keep you in the game.

Best of luck with that. We're going to come back down the line now.

Can the second players please step up to the podium?

OK. Let's put seven more three-word film titles up on the board

with a missing third word.

And we have got...

I'm going to read those all again.

-Tony, welcome to Pointless.

-Hiya. Thank you.

-What do you do, Tony?

I'm a manufacturing technician in a food factory.

Oh! That's quite fun. What kind of food is it?

Crisps. Well-known crisps.

-Oh, I love a crisp.

-Wow!

-But I love a well-known crisp better.

LAUGHTER

Like a potato crisp, or a corn or maize-based snack?

-A bit of both.

-ALEXANDER GASPS

You're kidding me, this is unbelievable.

Do any of the corn-based ones come out shaped like monsters?

-Yes, they do, actually. Yeah.

-LAUGHTER

I don't believe it.

I do not believe what's happening.

Which bit of the production are you involved in?

I'm on the machine that puts crisps in the packets.

So I keep them running.

If you wanted to, you could tinker with that machine, so it'd put

every four crisps it puts in a packet, another one goes into a little Tony bag!

-LAUGHTER

-Well, if I don't get caught, yeah.

There we go. That's fun. Tony, there you are, you're the high-scorers at the moment.

Only at the moment, because I think

you might have a good answer

on this board.

I'm going to go for...

I've got to go

for an absolute fluky guess,

but judging by the year,

I'm thinking the Matthew Broderick

one might be The Lion King.

The Lion King? OK.

Well, let's see if it's right. There's no red line for you, I'm afraid, Tony,

as you're the high-scorers, but let's see how far down the column we get with The Lion King.

It is The Lion King.

Down to 58 as well.

Not bad, Tony.

It's all in Callum's hands.

Yeah, Matthew Broderick voiced Simba in that.

You've given yourself a chance, you could still stay in.

They say the plot is based on Hamlet, but I would say very loosely.

-Pretty loosely.

-Pretty loosely, I mean, there's a lion in Hamlet,

but apart from that...

-Now then, Callum, welcome to Pointless.

-Hello.

Now, what do you do, Callum?

Currently I'm studying sports journalism, an online freelance course.

-Now that's quite fun.

-With the London School of Journalism.

Is it a completely broad course?

-Yes, it is.

-Does it focus on any particular sports that you particularly want to focus on?

Not in particular, it's more of a journalism-based course.

So learning the traits of journalism, and then, hopefully,

at the end of the course, I'll get a diploma,

and move on to sports journalism.

What area of sports journalism would you like to go into?

I'd like to move into something to do with football, cricket or tennis.

That would be fun. Now then, Callum, you are on 94, we have a challenge.

Kieran helped you a bit by not scoring the full 100, but, yeah,

if you can score 63 or less,

-you're through.

-OK. I think I'm

going to go for the Simon Pegg film.

The World's End.

The World's End, says Callum.

Here is your red line. If you can get below this red line with The World's End,

you are through to Round Two. Let's see how many people said it.

-It's right.

-Go down, down, down.

And you're through, very well done indeed, Callum. Look at that. 40.

134 is your total.

Very well played. Yeah, another lovely film, it's all part of Edgar Wright's Cornetto trilogy.

-That's what they call it.

-Thank you very much, Richard.

-Now, Liz, welcome to Pointless.

-Thank you.

-Lovely to have you here from Helensburgh.

-Yeah.

-What keeps you busy, Liz?

-I'm retired.

What did you do before you retired?

I was a line dance teacher for 30 years.

SHE LAUGHS

No-one ever really retires from line dancing!

Really? A line dance teacher.

Xander, I'm 71 years old!

-But...

-I've got to retire!

-You can still call a line dance, couldn't you?

Yeah, it's nice not travelling so far. I was on the road every weekend.

So how far did you have to go?

America, Canada...

Oh, really? You had to go and tell them how to line dance?

-No, show them.

-Show them.

-Yeah. I don't tell them.

And do you choreograph as well?

-Yes.

-You're still devising dances, aren't you, Liz.

I've got a big one coming off in November,

we'll have 1,000 dancers in Blackpool from all over the world.

And you with a megaphone?

Shouting, telling them... Sorry, showing them what to do.

-A microphone.

-With a microphone. I mixed my phones.

You're all over the place, mate. What's wrong with you?

Liz, I'm very impressed.

That's brilliant. Now, you've got a good score there from Bev

in the first pass. 62, which means

95 or less keeps you in the game.

I do know one,

because I quite like the bodies.

The Full Monty.

LAUGHTER

The Full Monty, says Liz.

There is your red line.

Get below that red line, and you're through to the next round.

How many people said The Full Monty?

It's right, and you're through. Very well done. It's good enough.

87 has taken you up to 149.

Yes, some big scoring going on now.

Set in Sheffield, of course, The Full Monty.

Thank you very much, Richard.

Now, Andy, welcome back to Pointless.

Remind us what you do, Andy?

I'm a social work manager with mental health.

I work in mental health.

-Now, we were talking about Jazzercise earlier.

-Yes.

-Last time you were here, you were telling us about boxercise.

-Yes.

All the -cercises, we have covered today.

Boxercise, what else do you like getting up to in your spare time?

I like watching sport. Mainly on TV.

I've got a six-year-old son, so I play football with him.

Is he...? Does he like watching sport as well?

He watches what I tell him to watch!

Liverpool FC.

Andy was telling me after the last show that his son is a fan of our catchphrase.

"Oh, that ain't bread?"

-"That's toast."

-We haven't said that for so long.

-We haven't said it for about 500 episodes.

-No.

We loved saying that.

-There we are. What's he called?

-Nathaniel.

-Nathaniel.

-That's for you, Nathaniel.

-There you go.

Now, Andy, this board is all yours,

and the best news is you're through already,

so it doesn't matter what you score.

Right. OK. I know all of them,

and could take an educated guess

at one. The top one is Stand By Me.

The second one Is Any Given Sunday.

The bottom one is Man Of Steel.

And I'd probably go Bye Bye Blackbird for Dick Van Dyke,

but I'll probably plump for...

..Any Given Sunday.

Any Given Sunday, no red line for you, you're already through.

Let's see how many people said Sunday.

It is Any Given Sunday.

It's another good score from the

first podium there, 14.

Taking your total up to 20.

The lowest total by a long chalk.

And you've also given us the best answer on the board.

Very well played, podium one. Terrific stuff. Done the double.

Stand By Me that would have scored you 66 points.

It's not Bye Bye Blackbird, not Bye Bye Baby.

Bye Bye Birdie would have scored you 17 points.

And Man Of Steel, you're quite right at the bottom there.

That would have scored you 39.

Thanks very much. So we're at the end of our first round,

and I'm afraid the pair we have to say goodbye to with a high score

of 158, it's Tony and Leona.

-Sorry.

-I'm sorry. That wasn't a perfect round for you.

Come back next time, and I'm sure we'll have the perfect round,

several perfect rounds, I hope, for you.

It's been great having you on. Thank you, so much, Tony and Leona.

But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.

And now it starts to get mean.

We're down to three pairs, at the end of this round,

we'll have to be down to two players.

Jon and Andy. Lowest score on each board there, very well done.

Very impressive indeed.

But well done everyone else for making it through that round.

Great to have you here for our second round. Our category is...

Can you all decide in your pairs who is going to go first,

who's going to go second? Whoever's going first please step up to the podium.

OK, let's find out what the question is. Here it comes.

We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...

-Richard.

-Yes, we're looking for the name of any woman who's won a

Grand Slam title in the Open era, that's from the French Open in 1968,

all the way through to June 2016, please.

The surname contains one of those letters. Very, very best of luck.

And the Grand Slam tennis tournaments are the Australian Open,

French Open, Wimbledon and the US Open.

Thank you very much, Richard.

Now then, Andy.

-Hello.

-Yes. A female tennis Grand Slam champions.

One of those letters in their name.

-Just in their name.

-I would like to go for Tracy Austin.

Tracy Austin, says Andy.

Let's see if that's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said Tracy Austin.

It's right.

Yeah, down it goes, still going down.

2. APPLAUSE

Very well done, Andy.

Tracy Austin.

They're so good, aren't they, on podium one?

That's very, very good. Especially with very little preparation time.

Yes, won two US opens, Tracy Austin.

-She's got an A and T in her name.

-I know.

-Which is amazing.

-That's why she scored two!

-She would have scored one,

I think, if she'd been called Tracy Ustin.

-One point, I think.

-Or Zin.

-Yeah.

Thank you. Kieran.

I'm expecting Callum to rescue me again, hopefully.

One of these days, Kieran, one of your rounds is going to come up,

I'm sure. I can sense it.

I'm going to go with Victoria Azarenka.

Victoria Azarenka, says Kieran.

Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.

It's right. Well, 2 is the only score we've got posted at the moment.

Victoria Azarenka takes us down

into single figures and 2 again.

Look at that! APPLAUSE

Very well done indeed. Very strong play on this round.

Very well played, Kieran, terrific stuff. I'm worried about Liz now after those two answers.

It's great, isn't it? Yes, Victoria Azarenka. First Belarussian woman to win a Grand Slam title.

So many As in her surname.

-I know!

-She's got three, which, I mean, is more than most people have got.

You and I have both got one.

And that's more than enough, really.

But to have three, I mean, goodness gracious!

That's a lot of As. And her daughter is good at tennis.

-You do the maths, right. Three, yeah.

-Three, I've done it. Liz.

Now then.

Some very impressive low-scoring up until now.

Can we continue that, or even improve on it?

I'll try.

Evonne Goolagong.

Evonne Goolagong, says Liz.

Let's see if it's right, let's see how many of our 100 people said it.

It's right.

Well...

2 is the line that has been drawn.

7 for Evonne Goolagong. Very well done indeed, Liz.

I'm not going to be able to beat that.

I'm not going to beat that.

Seven Grand Slam singles titles, and L in there, and A in there.

I mean, what more could you want? It's the perfect answer.

Thank you, Richard. We are halfway through the round. Let's take a quick look at those scores.

2 is the big low score there. Andy and Jon

and Kieran and Callum on 2.

Liz there on 7, really not that far ahead.

Bev, you realise what this means we require?

We require some super low-scoring female Grand Slam champions from you

with one of these letters in their surname.

OK, we're going to come back down the line now.

Can the second players please step up to the podium?

So, Bev.

Yes.

We are looking for any female Grand Slam tennis champion whose surname

contains an L, T, or A.

You're our high-scorers, that sounds ridiculous when you're only on 7.

-But there you are.

-That's going to be hard to beat, you know, the boys.

Oh, man, I'm sorry, Mum.

Brain's blank.

Martina Navratilova.

Martina Navratilova, says Bev.

There is no red line for you, as you're the high-scorers.

Let's see what happens when we say Martina Navratilova.

-34...

-Sorry.

.. for Navratilova takes your total up to 41.

Yes, she's got all three of them in there.

At least that's something. Without those letters she would be called Mirin Nuriov.

Thank you very much indeed.

Now, Callum.

You have a target here of 38,

which I suggest, for a sports journalist like you, should be...

..easily within your reach.

OK. So I have a few in my head.

But I'm going to go for Lindsay Davenport.

Lindsay Davenport, says Callum. It's earning you a nod from Jon,

which I have learned is a good thing to have.

There is your red line. If you get below that, you are through to the next round with Lindsay Davenport.

It's right.

It's good enough.

And it stops at 7. There we are.

9 is your total. Very well done.

-Very nicely done Callum, that's a relief, isn't it?

-Yeah.

Goodness me. Yes, a Grand Slam winner, also won gold at the 1996 Olympics, Lindsay Davenport.

Thank you, Richard.

Now then, Jon. You're on 2, the high-scorers are Bev and Liz on 41.

So 38 or less gets you through.

There's a more ambitious one that, I think, I'm sure is right.

I'm just concerned it might be wrong.

So I'm going to guess at, hope this is a low-scorer, Monica Seles.

Monica Seles, says Jon. Monica Seles. Here is your red line.

If you can get below that with Monica Seles,

you're through to the next round. How many of our 100 people said it?

It's right.

Yep, gets you through.

There we are, 5 for Monica Seles.

Takes your total up 27.

Once again, Jon and Andy, the lowest total of the round.

Very well played Jon, lowest scorers again, impressive stuff.

Lots of pointless answers here. Let's take a look at a few.

Well done if you said any of these.

She won seven Grand Slam titles, Henin-Hardenne.

Petra Kvitova, two time Wimbledon champion.

Also could have had Anastasia Myskina, Barbara Jordan, Chris O'Neil, and Mima Jausovec.

Those are the pointless answers. Let's take a look at the top three,

the ones that most of our 100 people said.

There is Martina Navratilova, 34.

Venus Williams, 42, and

Serena Williams right at the top on 45.

Thank you very much, Richard. So at the end of our second round,

the pair we have to say goodbye to with their high score of 41,

I'm afraid, Bev and Liz, it is you. Nothing wrong with that score.

Lovely low score. It's just that these scores were lower.

I'm afraid. So we have to say goodbye to you.

Only for a bit. We'll see you again, next show.

Look forward to that very much. Meantime, thanks very much. Bev and Liz.

But for the remaining two pairs, it's now time for our head-to-head.

Congratulations Jon and Andy, Kieran and Callum,

you're now one step closer to the final.

And a chance to play for our jackpot which currently stands at...

Wow. This is where battle commences

because we are now in the head-to-head,

which means you start playing as teams.

What formidable teams you are going to be.

You can confer before you give your answers. The first team to win two

questions will be playing for that jackpot.

Now, Kieran and Callum, very, very well done.

We've had some lovely scores from you.

But Jon and Andy, they are our low-scorers in every round so far.

This is the second time you've been our golden couple, in fact, in the head-to-head.

I wouldn't want to call this, but anyway, best of luck to both pairs.

Let's play the head-to-head.

Here is your first question, and it concerns...

-Richard.

-Yes. We're going to show you five UNESCO World Heritage sites.

Now we're actually going to show you five photographs of UNESCO World Heritage sites.

I thought it was too difficult to bring the actual sites.

Listen, guys, I looked into it. Couldn't be done. We're also going to give you the initials.

Can you tell us what they are, please?

OK, let's reveal our five UNESCO World Heritage sites.

And we have got...

There we are.

Five UNESCO World Heritage sites.

Jon and Andy, you are our low-scorers so you will go first.

-It's not a very kind board.

-It's not very kind.

But we're going to go for C

and say that's Canterbury Cathedral.

Canterbury Cathedral.

Canterbury Cathedral.

Not very kind, but very beautiful.

Now, Callum and Kieran.

Do you fancy talking us through the rest of that board?

We'd love to.

-But we can't!

-LAUGHTER

We only know one other, we're afraid.

And, and that's D.

And we think it's Kew Gardens.

Kew Gardens. So we have Canterbury Cathedral and we have Kew Gardens.

Jon and Andy said Canterbury Cathedral for C.

Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.

It's right.

53 for Canterbury Cathedral.

Kieran and Callum, meanwhile, have gone for Kew Gardens for D.

Let's see how many of our 100 people said that. Kew Gardens.

It's right.

Oh, 71 for Kew Gardens.

Well done, Jon and Andy, after one question, you are up 1-0.

Very well played. That first one would have won you the point, actually. It's simply...

-Bath.

-Yes, the whole place is a

UNESCO World Heritage site.

Would have scored you 37 points.

Um B.

Yeah, I don't know. It's pretty.

-It's lovely, isn't it?

-Yeah.

It's Saint Kilda.

Would have scored you 2 points.

-Saint Kilda.

-And the last one.

It's an aqueduct.

It's certainly aqueduct.

Penrith.

It's not the Penrith Aqueduct.

It's the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct

in Wales.

Would have scored you 4 points.

-That looks pretty, doesn't it?

-Doesn't it look pretty?

Thank you, Richard. So here comes your second question now.

Kieran and Callum, you get to answer it first, but you need to win this

one to stay in the game, so good luck.

Our second question today is all about...

Yes, we're going to show you five clues now to facts associated with

the word west. Can you give us the most obscure answer, please?

Excellent. Let's review our five clues, and here they come.

We have got...

I'll read those again.

Callum and Kieran will go first.

Go on, you decide.

So, according to the title of the 1971 Benny Hill hit single,

he's the...

Fastest milk cart driver in the West.

Fastest milk cart driver in the West,

say Kieran and Callum.

OK. Now Jon and Andy, talk us through the rest of the board.

We think that the first one is West Bromwich.

The second one is West Ham.

The musical is West Side Story.

And the last one is Westlife.

Which would you like to go for?

-The first one?

-No.

-We're going to go for the Hawthorns, being located at West Bromwich.

West Bromwich, say Jon and Andy.

So we have the fastest milk cart driver and West Bromwich.

In the order they were given, fastest milk cart driver,

let's see if that's right, let's see how many people said it.

Oh, bad luck, Kieran and Callum.

-I'm afraid.

-I realised, yeah.

-I'm sorry. An incorrect answer there.

Jon and Andy have gone for West Bromwich, let's see if that's right,

let's see how many of our 100 said it.

It's right, it is West Bromwich.

And it scores you 29.

But all it had to be, in fact, was right.

And it means, Jon and Andy, after two questions,

you're straight through to the final 2-0.

Yeah. Very well played, gents.

These days in these more politically correct times,

it would be the fastest milk cart driver in the West.

But it was the fastest milkman in the West, the Benny Hill song,

I'm afraid. Not like Benny Hill to be un-PC!

-Weird.

-Strange.

-30 points it would have been as well,

so it would have lost you the point by one.

The football club, you're absolutely right, is West Ham, West Ham United.

49 points for that. Natalie Wood played Maria in West Side Story,

57 for that and Swear It Again was Westlife,

as you said, and that would have scored 32.

Thanks very much, Richard.

So the pair leaving us at the end of the head-to-head round,

I'm afraid, Kieran and Callum, it is you.

But it's good news, really, because it means we get to see you again next time,

which will be fun. And I'm sure you'll do just as well, if not better next time.

But thanks very much in the meantime for playing, Kieran and Callum.

But for Jon and Andy, it's now time for our Pointless final.

Congratulations, Jon and Andy,

you have fought off all the competition

and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.

You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.

And at the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at...

Well, I'm... Jon and Andy, I mean to say,

you've turned up here, you've been the lowest scorers in Round One,

the lowest scorers in Round Two, 2-0 in the head-to-head, I mean,

this is lining up to be a slam dunk, I think here.

And you missed it very narrowly last time.

But it'll be very, very satisfying if you could take that jackpot away with you.

What would you like to see come up, Jon?

I think Cinema is a good subject for me,

-between us we love pop music...

-And '90s hip-hop.

If that specifically came up...!

That sounded like a request, Andy.

OK. Well, let's see.

I mean, obviously, I have no control over what comes on board.

You just have to hope there's something up there that you like the look of. Best of luck.

Today's selection looks like this.

We have got...

Nothing on classical music.

JFK would be a shot in the dark.

US crime writers...

No, no. Sport in Leicester, I think, begrudgingly.

OK. Begrudgingly, sport in Leicester.

OK, very best of luck, gents, three different questions here.

Let's take a look at them. We're looking for anybody who played for

Leicester in their Premier League-winning squad in 2015-16.

Anyone who actually took to the pitch at any point during the season.

We are looking for anyone who Mark Selby beat on his way

to two snooker World Championships in 2014 and 2016.

Or we are looking for anyone who played in Leicester Tigers squad

in the 2015-16 premiership.

Again, so long as they took to the field, we'll count them as an answer.

So the Premier League football-winning squad,

Mark Selby's opponents for his two World Championships wins,

and the Leicester Tigers squad. Very, very best of luck.

Thank you very much. Now as always, you've got up to one minute

to come up with three answers. All you need to win that jackpot is for just one

-of those answers to be pointless. Are you ready?

-Yes.

OK, let's put 60 seconds up on the clock. There they are.

Your time starts now.

Marco Fu, I don't know whether it's right,

but we'll just have that as a stand back.

The Leicester City squad. I think I could give you the first 11...

I think Andy King came in for a few games and Jeff Schlupp came in for a

few games. Shinji Okazaki, I think is a less well-known first team member.

Marc Albrighton, but I think...

-Pretty popular.

-I couldn't name anyone who's on the Tigers...

Do we know who the substitute goalkeeper was?

-No.

-The man was ever present anyway, though, wasn't he.

-No idea.

-Shall we say Marco Fu, Andy King, Jeff Schlupp?

We've still got 25 seconds.

I just want to give ten more seconds' thought to the Leicester City players.

Who else would have come on? I know that guy who used to play for Brighton...

..he played.

-Ulloa.

-Ulloa?

-Yes.

-Yes!

-Is it Leonardo Ulloa?

-Yeah, Leonardo Ulloa.

-10 seconds left.

How do you feel about Marco Fu?

Um...it's just a shot in the dark.

-I'd put Ulloa in there as well, man.

-Yeah?

-In fact, no, stick with Fu.

That's your time up, OK, let's have your three answers

and if you could say which category you're answering for each one.

Mark Selby's Snooker World Cup championship opponent, we'll go for Marco Fu.

-Marco Fu.

-And for the Leicester City Premier League-winning squad we're

going to go with Jeff Schlupp.

-Jeff Schlupp.

-And Leonardo Ulloa.

And Leonardo Ulloa. Of those three, which do think is your best shot

-at a pointless answer?

-I'm going to say, I think Ulloa.

-I think Schlupp.

-OK, we'll say Schlupp.

They're all on the squad, you know, they're there.

-Schlupp.

-Schlupp.

-OK, so Schlupp goes last.

-And Fu probably first...

-Yes.

-..and Ulloa in the middle.

OK, well, let's put those answers up on the board in that order then,

and here they are.

We've got Marco Fu, we've got Leonardo Ulloa,

and we've got Jeff Schlupp.

Well, very, very best of luck. Three good answers on the board there.

Now if one of these turns out to be pointless,

quite a nice jackpot to be taking home, £2,500,

what would you like to do with that? Jon, you first.

We, hopefully we're buying a house quite soon.

And we want to do a bit of work to it, maybe get the garden done nicely,

do out the kitchen, so dull as it may sound, make the house nice, make it into a home.

-Well, that's nice, something permanent there.

-Yeah.

OK, now Andy, what about you?

Oh, mine's very, very easy. Me and my partner got married last year...

-Congratulations.

-..in December on the beach in Australia.

-Very nice!

And she didn't have a honeymoon, so I'd like to give her a honeymoon.

-Very nice.

-To San Francisco.

-Oh, I was going to say to Leicester.

That's OK, yeah. Very best of luck. Three good answers, as I said.

Your first answer is Marco Fu.

In this case, we were looking for any World Snooker Championship opponents of Mark Selby.

If this is pointless, it will win you £2,500.

Let's see how many of our 100 people said Marco Fu.

It is right.

Now, if Marco Fu can take us all the way down to zero,

you will leave here with £2,500.

Down we go through the 20s, into the teens.

Into single figures.

We're still going down with Marco Fu. 3.

It's a great score.

That's the sort of score you've been giving us every round,

up until this point.

Sadly, though, we only accept pointless answers in this last round.

So your next answer is what we move onto, Leonardo Ulloa.

In this case, we were looking for any Premier League-winning squad member of Leicester City.

If this is pointless, it will win you £2,500.

How many of our 100 people said Leonardo Ulloa?

It's right.

Marco Fu took us all the way down to 3.

Leonardo Ulloa now takes us

down through the teens.

We are into single figures,

down we go, we're still going down.

We pass 3!

Very well done indeed!

Congratulations, brilliant! Leonardo Ulloa was a

pointless answer, which means you go home with that jackpot of £2,500.

Very well done.

Is there nothing Leicester City can't win?!

When you woke up this morning, I bet you didn't think Leonardo Ulloa was

going to buy your wife a honeymoon!

-No!

-But there it is, he's done just that.

Jeff Schlupp, lots of pointless answers here,

also a pointless answer, Jeff Schlupp. Very well done!

Let's take a look at the pointless answers in the different categories, gents.

You said Shinji Okazaki as well during your 60 seconds,

a pointless answer. Robert Huth is a pointless answer,

literally one of their biggest stars. Amazing stuff.

Also Demarai Grey a pointless answer,

Nathan Dyer a pointless answer, Ritchie de Laet.

Lots and lots of pointless answers there.

Gokhan Inler as well, Kramaric a pointless answer,

so all sorts of big names there from that incredible Leicester-winning

squad. Let's take a look at the Mark Selby opponents now.

McManus, Ali Carter. Two future stars of the game there.

Kyren Wilson. Also Michael White.

Also Sam Baird and Robert Milkins, all of those pointless answers.

Well done if you said any. And the Leicester Tigers squad.

Everybody apart from Dan Cole, Manu Tuilagi, Ben Youngs and Peter Betham.

Everyone else is a pointless answer.

Very well done if you got one at home. Guys, you've been absolutely terrific for two shows,

-and what a lovely way to top it off. Terrific jackpot win.

-Fantastic.

And I must apologise for calling poor old Leonardo Ulloa, u-llo-a,

instead of u-sho-a.

You know what, I almost stopped you, but it was so cute, I couldn't.

-I liked it so much.

-I know.

-It's nice, though.

-It's lovely.

Yeah, wartime sitcom flavour to it as well, which is nice.

Well, thank you, once again, to our brilliant winning players, Jon and Andy.

Thank you so much for being so brilliant.

You go away with today's jackpot of £2,500.

Join us next time when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.

-Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.

-Goodbye.

And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
