APPLAUSE

0:00:200:00:22

Thank you very much indeed.

0:00:220:00:23

Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong, and welcome to Pointless.

0:00:230:00:26

This is the show where all the questions

0:00:260:00:28

have been asked of 100 people before the show,

0:00:280:00:30

and all our contestants have to do

0:00:300:00:31

is come up with the answers no-one else could think of.

0:00:310:00:33

Let's meet today's players.

0:00:330:00:35

And couple number one...

0:00:380:00:40

Hi, my name's Steve, I'm from Portsmouth,

0:00:400:00:42

and this is my friend Josh from Horsham.

0:00:420:00:44

Couple number two?

0:00:440:00:46

Hi, I'm Steve, this is my friend Kayvon, and we're both from Poole.

0:00:460:00:49

Couple number three?

0:00:490:00:50

Hi, I'm Stuart, this is my wife, Sally, and we're from Birmingham.

0:00:500:00:53

And finally, couple number four?

0:00:530:00:55

Hi, I'm Natasha, I'm from Surrey,

0:00:550:00:56

this is my work colleague Chloe, and she's from Birmingham.

0:00:560:00:59

And these are today's contestants.

0:00:590:01:00

APPLAUSE

0:01:000:01:02

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

0:01:020:01:05

We'll get to chat to each of you throughout the show as it goes along,

0:01:050:01:07

so that just leaves me one more person for me to introduce.

0:01:070:01:10

The fly in the ointment, the wrinkle in the plan,

0:01:100:01:13

the toenail in the paella... LAUGHTER

0:01:130:01:14

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

0:01:140:01:17

-Hiya. Hello, everybody.

-APPLAUSE

0:01:170:01:19

Afternoon.

0:01:190:01:21

-Good afternoon to you, sir.

-Good afternoon to you.

0:01:210:01:23

What a lovely show last time, wasn't it?

0:01:230:01:25

-Oh, wasn't that lovely?

-Yeah, some lovely questions,

0:01:250:01:27

and we welcome back two pairs from that show. Steve...

0:01:270:01:30

Well, Steve S, he is now. Remember when he was just Steve?

0:01:300:01:32

-I know, he's got letters after his name!

-Back in the old days.

0:01:320:01:35

..and Kayvon. Chloe and Natasha, welcome back.

0:01:350:01:37

Got all the way through to the head-to-head.

0:01:370:01:39

Now, do you remember, Steve gave us an incorrect answer when we had

0:01:390:01:42

pictures of people from the '80s?

0:01:420:01:43

-Oh, yes.

-And he gave Jeremy Beadle.

0:01:430:01:45

And I thought he gave Jeremy Beadle for Stephen Spielberg,

0:01:450:01:47

who looks a bit like Jeremy Beadle.

0:01:470:01:49

-Yeah.

-But he didn't, do you know who he gave Jeremy Beadle for?

0:01:490:01:52

-Tom Jones?

-Tom Jones.

-No!

-Yeah, yeah.

0:01:530:01:55

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:01:550:01:56

Which he stupidly admitted to me just now before the show!

0:01:570:02:00

LAUGHTER

0:02:000:02:01

And I promised I wouldn't say anything.

0:02:010:02:03

But welcome back, both pairs, very strong pairs.

0:02:040:02:07

Welcome to our new pairs, as well.

0:02:070:02:09

Lots of lovely questions, you know,

0:02:090:02:11

-what else could you ask for, right?

-Perfect.

0:02:110:02:13

Ooh, and more excitingly still,

0:02:130:02:15

Simon and Rachel didn't win the jackpot last time,

0:02:150:02:17

which means we add another £1,000 to it,

0:02:170:02:19

so today's jackpot starts off at £3,750.

0:02:190:02:22

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

0:02:240:02:27

So, remember this, the pair with the highest score

0:02:330:02:35

at the end of each round will be eliminated.

0:02:350:02:37

That's all you have to remember.

0:02:370:02:38

No conferring till we get to the head-to-head round.

0:02:380:02:41

Best of luck to all four pairs. Our first category of today is...

0:02:410:02:45

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

0:02:460:02:49

who's going to go second? And whoever's going first,

0:02:490:02:51

please step up to the podium.

0:02:510:02:52

OK, and the question concerns...

0:02:550:02:58

-Richard?

-Yeah, we're going to show

0:03:020:03:03

you the name of seven episode titles of sitcoms

0:03:030:03:06

alongside the initials of that sitcom. On each board,

0:03:060:03:08

you have to tell us what the sitcom is, please.

0:03:080:03:10

There will be 14 in all to have a go at, at home, so very best of luck.

0:03:100:03:13

Thanks very much indeed. So, let's reveal our episode titles.

0:03:130:03:15

Here's our first board of seven. And we've got...

0:03:150:03:18

I'm going to read those all again.

0:03:430:03:45

Josh, welcome to Pointless.

0:04:040:04:06

Good to have you here.

0:04:060:04:07

-What do you do, Josh?

-I work for an insurance broker.

0:04:070:04:10

And what are your interests, Josh?

0:04:100:04:12

I do a bit of caving, and I'm an Explorer leader.

0:04:120:04:16

-An Explorer leader?

-Yes, an Explorer Scout.

0:04:160:04:18

I see. How many people are in your teams when you lead them?

0:04:180:04:22

So, there's between six and ten kids of between 14 and 18,

0:04:220:04:27

depending on how many can make it that week.

0:04:270:04:29

Wow. And just back to the caving, Josh, where do you do your caving?

0:04:290:04:33

Mostly down in Somerset.

0:04:330:04:35

There's not many caves around West Sussex.

0:04:350:04:37

Have you ever explored caves that no-one's ever been in before?

0:04:370:04:40

I have not, yet.

0:04:400:04:41

Have you ever been in a cave where the tunnel has gone underwater

0:04:410:04:44

and you come up the other side and you're still in a tunnel?

0:04:440:04:46

Yes, there's a bit that we take our Scouts to, to do that bit,

0:04:460:04:49

and it's always kind of a challenge...

0:04:490:04:51

Do you put a rope under first, maybe, so that they can go...?

0:04:510:04:53

Yeah, there's a rope under there, yes.

0:04:530:04:55

But have you ever been under with no rope?

0:04:550:04:56

No, I haven't.

0:04:560:04:58

That would just be terrifying!

0:04:580:05:00

Now, Josh, what about our board, here,

0:05:000:05:02

of sitcom episode titles, I should say?

0:05:020:05:05

TV, not a strong point for me,

0:05:050:05:07

but I think The Guru Of Surbiton is The Good Life.

0:05:070:05:11

The Good Life, says Josh.

0:05:110:05:13

Let's see how many of our 100 people agree with Josh.

0:05:130:05:15

It's right.

0:05:180:05:19

Not bad, 30.

0:05:230:05:24

APPLAUSE

0:05:240:05:25

Good start to the round, Josh, well done.

0:05:250:05:27

-30 for The Good Life.

-Er, yeah,

0:05:270:05:30

it's called Good Neighbors, in America.

0:05:300:05:33

In virtually all of these,

0:05:330:05:34

they've had a go at doing these in the States.

0:05:340:05:36

OK, now, Kayvon.

0:05:380:05:39

Good to have you back. Remind us what you do, Kayvon?

0:05:400:05:43

-I'm a civil servant.

-You're a civil servant, based in Bournemouth?

0:05:430:05:47

-Yes.

-Very good indeed.

0:05:470:05:49

And your interests, Kayvon?

0:05:490:05:50

Er, I'm a trampoline gymnast.

0:05:500:05:53

SCATTERED LAUGHTER

0:05:530:05:55

Well, talk us through the disciplines of trampolining.

0:05:550:05:58

What different things do you have to do when you compete?

0:05:580:06:00

Er, you compete to routines,

0:06:000:06:02

one of them's meant to be the sort of easy routine,

0:06:020:06:05

-which has easy elements...

-Is it set to music?

0:06:050:06:08

No, no. No music, unfortunately.

0:06:080:06:10

-OK.

-And then, you've got one sort of, as you'd call it,

0:06:100:06:13

a difficult routine,

0:06:130:06:14

and your scores are totalled up.

0:06:140:06:16

What is the most impressive thing you can do on a trampoline?

0:06:160:06:19

-Um...

-What's the thing that gets a little buzz of applause?

0:06:190:06:22

Probably a triple front with a half twist.

0:06:220:06:25

Tripe front with a half twist?

0:06:250:06:27

-Yeah.

-Mm, sounds delicious!

-Very important bit.

0:06:270:06:29

LAUGHTER

0:06:290:06:31

Um, wow, that's extraordinary.

0:06:310:06:33

I mean, how much time do you spend on bouncy canvas?

0:06:330:06:35

That's what we call it in, um... LAUGHTER

0:06:360:06:40

Until recently, it was most of the day, sort of thing.

0:06:400:06:42

-I trained in the daytime and then coached in the evening.

-Yeah.

0:06:420:06:46

-But more recently...

-And where do you train?

0:06:460:06:48

-I mean, do you have to go to...?

-On a trampoline, I'm guessing!

0:06:480:06:50

-LAUGHTER

-That would be where I would do it.

0:06:500:06:52

Good point! Does it feel slightly oddly solid,

0:06:520:06:54

when you're not on a trampoline?

0:06:540:06:56

Yeah, I don't really know what I'm doing here.

0:06:560:06:58

Nor do I, to be honest! Um, what would you like to go for, Kayvon?

0:06:580:07:02

Um...

0:07:020:07:03

It's between two.

0:07:060:07:07

I think I'm going to go with...

0:07:070:07:09

..In Luton Airport, No-one Can Hear You Scream,

0:07:090:07:13

with One Foot In The Grave.

0:07:130:07:15

One Foot In The Grave, says Kayvon.

0:07:150:07:16

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

0:07:160:07:19

Well, 30 is the only score we have at the moment,

0:07:240:07:26

and you've passed it.

0:07:260:07:27

Down to 19, well done, Kayvon, all going in the right direction.

0:07:270:07:30

APPLAUSE

0:07:300:07:31

-Yeah, very well played.

-Starring Richard Wilson, of course.

0:07:330:07:37

Thank you, Richard. Stuart, welcome.

0:07:370:07:39

You're from Birmingham? What keeps you busy in Birmingham, Stuart?

0:07:390:07:43

I work in IT, in the NHS,

0:07:430:07:44

for Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health Trust.

0:07:440:07:47

Solihull!

0:07:470:07:48

LAUGHTER

0:07:490:07:51

-Hold on a minute...

-Yeah.

0:07:510:07:52

-Are you a Silhillian?

-No.

0:07:520:07:54

Oh. He understood what I asked!

0:07:550:07:57

LAUGHTER

0:07:570:07:58

If we said Silhillian, would you know what we meant?

0:07:580:08:01

-Yeah.

-You see, that's so exciting.

0:08:010:08:03

-This is from the last show.

-We learned that from the last show,

0:08:030:08:05

-that people from Solihull are Silhillians.

-Yeah. It's...

0:08:050:08:08

So, you've missed a whole lot.

0:08:080:08:09

If you haven't, you must watch the box sets, because...

0:08:090:08:11

LAUGHTER

0:08:110:08:12

-There's all sorts of developing storylines you're missing.

-Yeah.

0:08:120:08:16

I reckon it's time we had episode titles for Pointless.

0:08:160:08:19

-That's a good idea, isn't it?

-The One Where...

-Yeah.

0:08:190:08:21

The One Where They Stumble Through Amateurishly.

0:08:220:08:25

LAUGHTER

0:08:250:08:26

-Yeah...

-The Next One Where They Stumble Through Amateurishly.

0:08:260:08:29

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

0:08:290:08:33

Are you a television watcher?

0:08:330:08:35

I know most of the ones on this board, except for one.

0:08:350:08:37

But I'm going to go with, um, Menopause,

0:08:370:08:41

-Absolutely Fabulous.

-Absolutely Fabulous, says Stuart.

0:08:410:08:44

Let's see how many of our 100 people agree with Stuart.

0:08:440:08:46

It's right.

0:08:480:08:49

30 is our high, 19 is our low.

0:08:490:08:53

You've passed 30.

0:08:530:08:54

29, only just past it.

0:08:540:08:56

But not bad, 29 for Ab Fab.

0:08:570:09:00

Yeah, Idris Elba had his first-ever speaking role

0:09:000:09:02

-in an episode of Absolutely Fabulous.

-Isn't that great?

0:09:020:09:06

Yeah. I'd like to go and seek that out.

0:09:060:09:08

Yeah! Very good.

0:09:080:09:10

Thank you, Richard. Natasha, welcome back.

0:09:100:09:12

Great to have you - back on the same podium!

0:09:120:09:15

-I know!

-Tremendous deja vu, I'm getting here.

0:09:150:09:18

Remind us what you do, Natasha.

0:09:180:09:19

I'm business support for a recruitment company.

0:09:190:09:21

That's right, and what do you like doing in your spare time?

0:09:210:09:24

Going to live gigs and buying shoes.

0:09:240:09:26

Oh. What was the last live gig you went to?

0:09:260:09:29

It was actually our work colleague's band.

0:09:290:09:32

-Which is called?

-It's called Stickman Cartel.

0:09:320:09:34

Do they do covers, or are they...?

0:09:340:09:36

No, they write their own material,

0:09:360:09:38

but they have done one or two covers.

0:09:380:09:40

-Are they good?

-They are very good.

0:09:400:09:43

Yeah. There you are. I wouldn't go to a work colleague's band

0:09:430:09:46

if it wasn't good, I don't think.

0:09:460:09:49

Absolutely.

0:09:490:09:50

Which is why I failed to see any of your concerts last year, for your...

0:09:500:09:53

LAUGHTER

0:09:530:09:55

APPLAUSE

0:09:590:10:01

Ah...

0:10:020:10:04

Ha! I left that one open, didn't I?

0:10:040:10:07

Now, Natasha, this board's all yours,

0:10:070:10:09

if you want to talk us through it and fill in all the blanks.

0:10:090:10:12

OK. Well, I know two of the ones that are left.

0:10:120:10:14

They're going be high scores, but I think The Miracle Of Peckham is,

0:10:140:10:17

obviously, Only Fools and Horses.

0:10:170:10:19

The One After Ross Says Rachel is going to be Friends.

0:10:190:10:21

I'd maybe take a guess at The Passion of Saint Tibulus

0:10:230:10:25

maybe being Fawlty Towers.

0:10:250:10:27

But I think I'm going to...

0:10:280:10:30

..play it safe

0:10:310:10:34

and go for The One After Ross Says Rachel is Friends.

0:10:340:10:37

OK. Well, let's see how safe that is, Natasha.

0:10:370:10:40

Friends, let's see how many people said it.

0:10:400:10:42

It's right.

0:10:450:10:47

Oh, no... It's not bad. 77.

0:10:470:10:48

APPLAUSE

0:10:480:10:51

77 for Friends.

0:10:510:10:53

James Burrows, the famous American sitcom producer and director,

0:10:530:10:56

directed several episodes of that.

0:10:560:10:58

He took the whole cast to Vegas before the series began,

0:10:580:11:00

cos he had a gut feeling about it, and he just said,

0:11:000:11:02

"This is the last time you'll have any anonymity in your life."

0:11:020:11:06

He said, "So enjoy yourselves."

0:11:060:11:07

He was right, wasn't he? Very impressive.

0:11:070:11:10

-Wow.

-Now, The Miracle Of Peckham, of course, is Only Fools and Horses.

0:11:100:11:13

Surprisingly low score, actually.

0:11:130:11:16

We'll go down to The Passion of Saint Tibulus.

0:11:160:11:18

It's not Fawlty Towers.

0:11:180:11:20

-Father Ted.

-Father Ted, yeah.

0:11:200:11:21

The best answer on the board is an unbelievably low score.

0:11:220:11:25

-Peep Show.

-Peep Show, yeah.

0:11:250:11:27

-So very well done if you said that.

-Thank you very much, Richard.

0:11:290:11:31

Well, we're halfway through the round. Let's take a quick look

0:11:310:11:34

at those scores. 19 is the best score of that pass,

0:11:340:11:36

so very well done, Kayvon. Up to 29, where we find Stuart and Sally.

0:11:360:11:39

30 is where we find Josh and Steve H.

0:11:390:11:42

And then Natasha and Chloe, 77.

0:11:420:11:45

You're a long way ahead. Chloe...

0:11:450:11:47

How did you find that board, Chloe?

0:11:470:11:48

-It was OK.

-Do you think you'll be able to find

0:11:480:11:51

a nice low-scoring answer on the next board,

0:11:510:11:52

-I mean, just in this category?

-I don't... I hope so.

0:11:520:11:55

-Well, so do I.

-I don't know.

-We need one.

-Yes.

-Best of luck with that.

0:11:550:11:57

We're going to come back down the line now. Can the second players please step up to the podium?

0:11:570:12:01

OK, let's put seven more episode titles from sitcoms up on the board,

0:12:030:12:07

and here they are.

0:12:070:12:08

I'll read those again.

0:12:280:12:29

Chloe, is that board any better?

0:12:450:12:47

The first one was better.

0:12:480:12:50

Oh, right, OK.

0:12:500:12:51

-Yeah.

-Now, Chloe, remind us what you do.

0:12:510:12:53

I also work in recruitment, with Natasha.

0:12:530:12:57

-We work together.

-And your interests, when not working?

0:12:570:13:00

I like to keep fit,

0:13:000:13:02

so I've done a couple of half marathons.

0:13:020:13:05

Only half marathons? I mean,

0:13:050:13:06

that makes them sound sort of faintly doable.

0:13:060:13:09

-It's still a long way.

-It is a long way, yeah.

0:13:090:13:11

-13 miles.

-Yeah, yeah.

0:13:110:13:13

-They're quite hard.

-Yeah.

0:13:130:13:14

-Have you done one this year?

-No, I'm doing one in October.

0:13:140:13:17

-OK, right, so getting ready for that.

-I need to start training.

-Yes.

0:13:170:13:20

I'd say you probably do. Do you follow the app?

0:13:200:13:22

-You get an app, don't you?

-No, I don't know, I just kind of run,

0:13:220:13:25

and just see what happens.

0:13:250:13:27

Fine. And last time, that was fine?

0:13:270:13:30

-Yeah, yeah.

-Fine, good.

0:13:300:13:32

Good. Now, Chloe, you're on 77, you're our high-scorers.

0:13:320:13:34

-We need a low score from you.

-Um...

0:13:340:13:36

Yeah, the only one that I know...

0:13:380:13:41

..is...

0:13:420:13:44

Yeah, Basil The Rat,

0:13:440:13:46

which is Fawlty Towers.

0:13:460:13:48

Fawlty Towers, says Chloe.

0:13:480:13:50

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

0:13:500:13:53

It's right.

0:13:560:13:57

Well, that's not bad.

0:14:000:14:02

133 is your total.

0:14:020:14:04

Yeah, the anagrams they used to have on the Fawlty Towers sign

0:14:050:14:07

at the start of each show were all made up by a production assistant

0:14:070:14:10

on the show called Iain McLean, who was a crossword addict.

0:14:100:14:13

Thank you very much indeed, Richard.

0:14:130:14:15

Now then, Sally.

0:14:150:14:17

How lovely to have you here, Sally,

0:14:170:14:18

and that's the most exciting hair we've had this series.

0:14:180:14:21

-Thanks very much!

-Very good.

0:14:210:14:23

Sally, what do you do?

0:14:230:14:25

I'm a primary school teacher.

0:14:250:14:26

Lovely. How long have you done that for?

0:14:260:14:28

12 years now.

0:14:280:14:30

Goodness me. You just teach everything, I suppose, don't you?

0:14:300:14:32

You have to do a bit of everything, be a jack of all trades.

0:14:320:14:35

Perfect grounding for Pointless, I always like to think.

0:14:350:14:38

And when the holidays come, what do you love to do?

0:14:380:14:40

-Sleep.

-Oh.

-Sleep!

0:14:400:14:43

Oh, that's nice. What time are you normally up on a working day?

0:14:430:14:46

On a working day, it's about six o'clock, but on a holiday, 11.

0:14:460:14:51

Perfect. Sally, great news, you're through to Round Two.

0:14:510:14:53

-It doesn't matter what you score here.

-OK.

0:14:530:14:56

-What would you like to go for?

-I think I know all of them,

0:14:560:14:59

I just want to choose the most obscure,

0:14:590:15:02

so I'm going to go for Open Government,

0:15:020:15:05

and Yes Minister.

0:15:050:15:06

Yes Minister, says Sally. Let's see how many of our 100 people said it.

0:15:060:15:09

No red line, cos you're already through.

0:15:090:15:11

It is Yes Minister, and I have a feeling this will be...

0:15:140:15:18

APPLAUSE

0:15:190:15:21

73 is your total, not bad.

0:15:210:15:23

Well played, Sally. It's the title of the first-ever episode of that,

0:15:230:15:26

as well. Theresa May chose an extract from Yes Minister

0:15:260:15:28

when she went on Desert Island Discs.

0:15:280:15:31

Thank you very much, Richard.

0:15:310:15:32

Now, Steve.

0:15:320:15:34

Steve S, to give you your full name these days.

0:15:340:15:37

Also through to the next round, by the way.

0:15:370:15:39

Steve S, we discovered last time you're a civil servant,

0:15:390:15:42

and an ex-trampoline...?

0:15:420:15:44

Ex-gymnast.

0:15:440:15:46

-An ex-trampoline gymnast, shall we say.

-That's right.

0:15:460:15:48

-Well, why did you give it up?

-I was just getting too tired.

0:15:480:15:51

I think my body was failing me!

0:15:510:15:52

And how many hours a day were you on the...

0:15:540:15:56

..on the bouncy canvas?

0:15:560:15:59

So not as many as Kayvon, but I probably was doing about 12,

0:15:590:16:01

15 hours a week at my peak.

0:16:010:16:03

Right. Well, maybe you should have done more hours.

0:16:030:16:05

There's your answer. Not as many as Kayvon!

0:16:050:16:07

What else do you like getting up to, Steve?

0:16:070:16:09

Now that I've retired from trampolining, I'm now a judge.

0:16:090:16:12

So some of the competitions that Kayvon and others are competing at.

0:16:120:16:15

I was suddenly picturing you as a High Court judge!

0:16:150:16:17

No, I see. LAUGHTER

0:16:170:16:19

Or just... Maybe just a circuit judge.

0:16:190:16:20

Yeah, that's where they pick

0:16:200:16:22

-a lot of their people from, don't they?

-Yeah!

0:16:220:16:24

It is, isn't it? But you go round, judging things?

0:16:240:16:27

And you hold up scores?

0:16:270:16:29

-I hold up the scores, that's right.

-It's like Strictly, bouncy Strictly!

0:16:290:16:32

LAUGHTER Brilliant.

0:16:320:16:33

Now, Steve, as I say, you're already through to the next round.

0:16:330:16:36

What would you like to go for?

0:16:360:16:38

Well, unfortunately, I don't know a lot...well, if any on the board.

0:16:380:16:41

The only one I did know was the Fawlty Towers

0:16:410:16:44

and the Yes Minister one.

0:16:440:16:46

So I'm going to have to take a guess at Bambi.

0:16:460:16:49

I'm not sure if it is a series,

0:16:490:16:51

but The Young Ones?

0:16:510:16:53

The Young Ones, says Steve.

0:16:530:16:55

OK, well, no red line, you're already through,

0:16:550:16:57

but let's see how far down the column we get with The Young Ones.

0:16:570:16:59

It's right.

0:17:020:17:03

Very good indeed, strong performance on that second podium there.

0:17:090:17:13

Yeah, that's the classic University Challenge episode,

0:17:160:17:18

with Footlights College against Scumbag College,

0:17:180:17:21

and Griff Rhys Jones playing Bamber Gascoigne.

0:17:210:17:23

-Which he does very well.

-It's a slight knife to the heart,

0:17:230:17:25

hearing someone who's 27 say,

0:17:250:17:27

"I don't know if that was a series, The Young Ones?"

0:17:270:17:29

You think, "Oh... That's only my entire childhood, that's all!"

0:17:290:17:32

Steve, welcome.

0:17:350:17:36

-Hello.

-Great to have you here.

0:17:360:17:38

-What do you do, Steve?

-I'm a corporate insurance broker.

0:17:380:17:40

I see. And what thrills you when not broking?

0:17:400:17:43

-Or maybe that thrills you?

-It does.

0:17:430:17:46

That's nice! What else thrills you?

0:17:460:17:49

Well, I like to play hockey,

0:17:490:17:51

and support Portsmouth Football Club,

0:17:510:17:54

-follow them around.

-Very good...

0:17:540:17:55

Follow them, follow them around!

0:17:550:17:57

They're going, "Go away!" LAUGHTER

0:17:570:18:00

Steve, there you are on 30, it doesn't matter what you score,

0:18:000:18:03

you'll be through to the next round, even if you score 100,

0:18:030:18:05

but I'm sure you won't. Do you feel like talking us through this board

0:18:050:18:08

and filling in all those blanks?

0:18:080:18:09

Yeah, I think I can name three of them.

0:18:090:18:12

The third one down, is... I can't think of anything for that one.

0:18:120:18:16

But I think I'm going to go for Appraisals being The Office.

0:18:160:18:20

The Office, says Steve. No red line, you're already through,

0:18:200:18:22

but let's see how many of our 100 people said The Office.

0:18:220:18:25

It's right.

0:18:290:18:31

Look at that, 19!

0:18:340:18:35

APPLAUSE

0:18:350:18:36

Joint lowest score of the whole round,

0:18:360:18:38

so very well done indeed there, Steve H.

0:18:380:18:40

That takes your total up to 49.

0:18:400:18:42

That's great work, Steve. Yeah, Steve Carell, who is the boss

0:18:420:18:45

in the American version of The Office, which is brilliant,

0:18:450:18:47

said he only watched five minutes of the British Office,

0:18:470:18:49

cos he felt, if he watched any more,

0:18:490:18:51

he'd end up doing an impression of Ricky Gervais. He didn't want to,

0:18:510:18:54

he wanted to bring his own skills to the job, which he does, brilliantly.

0:18:540:18:57

Now, I bet you can name all of these.

0:18:580:19:00

Who's That Dancing with Nora Batty, then?

0:19:000:19:02

-Last of the Summer Wine.

-Yeah, a lot of clues there.

0:19:020:19:04

Is That Your Horse Outside?

0:19:060:19:07

-Steptoe And Son.

-Steptoe And Son, yeah.

0:19:070:19:09

And the best answer on the board, Will Is Home Alone.

0:19:100:19:13

-The...

-I can't...

0:19:130:19:15

I know, it took me a while.

0:19:150:19:16

-But you'll know it, very well. It's The Inbetweeners.

-Oh, of course.

0:19:160:19:19

TI, it's very confusing.

0:19:200:19:23

TO and TI are both weirdly difficult initials.

0:19:230:19:25

Aren't they? Well, thank you very much,

0:19:250:19:27

we are at the end of our first round.

0:19:270:19:28

And I'm so sorry, I can't bear it, Chloe and Natasha,

0:19:280:19:31

we have to say goodbye to you.

0:19:310:19:32

Oh... Low-scorers,

0:19:320:19:34

-head-to-headers last time.

-I know.

0:19:340:19:36

It's been lovely having you here, I'm sorry,

0:19:360:19:38

it's far too soon to be sending you home, but Chloe and Natasha, wonderful.

0:19:380:19:41

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

0:19:440:19:46

And so suddenly we're down to three pairs,

0:19:520:19:54

and at the end of this round,

0:19:540:19:55

obviously, we'll have to say goodbye to another pair.

0:19:550:19:57

Well, Kayvon, lowest individual score with Steve H.

0:19:570:20:02

Joint low-scorers there, with 19,

0:20:020:20:04

and Steve S and Kayvon are lowest combined scores there,

0:20:040:20:08

so very well done.

0:20:080:20:09

Best of luck to all three pairs for our next round.

0:20:090:20:12

Our category for Round Two today is Words.

0:20:120:20:15

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

0:20:150:20:18

who's going to go second?

0:20:180:20:19

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

0:20:190:20:21

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

0:20:250:20:28

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

0:20:280:20:32

..as they could. B---E. Richard.

0:20:350:20:39

Yeah, looking for any five-letter word in the English language,

0:20:390:20:42

in the English world language section of oxforddictionaries.com,

0:20:420:20:45

please, that fits the pattern B---E.

0:20:450:20:48

As always, no hyphenated words and no proper nouns.

0:20:480:20:50

Best of luck. Have a little think about what you're going to say...

0:20:500:20:55

Mm-hm.

0:20:550:20:56

Steve, always tough going first.

0:20:560:20:59

Yeah, I've got one.

0:20:590:21:01

-You've got one?

-I have got one.

-You've got one?

0:21:010:21:04

I'm going to go with brine.

0:21:040:21:06

I know him!

0:21:060:21:08

Let's see, brine. How many of our 100 people said brine?

0:21:090:21:13

23 for brine, not bad.

0:21:220:21:24

APPLAUSE

0:21:240:21:27

Yeah, water with lots of salt in it.

0:21:270:21:29

Thank you very much, Richard. Now, Steve S.

0:21:290:21:31

What would you like to go for?

0:21:320:21:34

OK, I think I'm going to go with the word baste.

0:21:340:21:38

OK. Baste, says Steve.

0:21:390:21:42

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

0:21:420:21:44

It's right. 23 is the only score we have at the moment.

0:21:470:21:50

Baste passes that, down to 13, very well done indeed.

0:21:530:21:57

APPLAUSE

0:21:570:21:58

Yeah, to pour fat or juices over meat during cooking.

0:22:010:22:04

The turkey I had at Christmas was BASTE on a true story.

0:22:040:22:07

Thank you, Richard. Sally.

0:22:090:22:12

I'm going to go for brute.

0:22:120:22:15

Brute, says Sally.

0:22:150:22:17

Let's see how many of our 100 people liked brute.

0:22:170:22:19

It's right.

0:22:230:22:24

3 for brute. Well played, Sally. APPLAUSE

0:22:340:22:36

Well played again, Sally.

0:22:370:22:38

Yes, savagely violent man or animal, a brute.

0:22:380:22:41

Thank you very much, Richard.

0:22:420:22:43

So we are halfway through the round, let's take a look at those scores.

0:22:430:22:46

3 the best score of that pass - well done, Sally. Sally and Stuart,

0:22:460:22:49

I think you might be in the head-to-head on that basis.

0:22:490:22:51

13 is where we find Steve and Kayvon.

0:22:510:22:54

23 is where we find Steve and Josh.

0:22:540:22:56

So, Josh,

0:22:560:22:57

a lovely low score from you is what we need.

0:22:570:22:59

Good luck with that. We're going to come back down the line now -

0:22:590:23:02

can the second players please step up to the podium?

0:23:020:23:04

So, then, Stuart.

0:23:070:23:09

It's five-letter words beginning with B, ending with E.

0:23:090:23:12

19 or less at this stage guarantees you a place in the head-to-head.

0:23:120:23:17

Lovely score from Sally, there, with brute.

0:23:190:23:21

OK. I'm going to go with bathe.

0:23:210:23:24

You're going to go with bathe.

0:23:240:23:27

Let's see, here is your red line.

0:23:270:23:28

If you can get below that red line,

0:23:280:23:30

you're straight through to the head-to-head.

0:23:300:23:32

How many people said bathe?

0:23:320:23:33

It's right.

0:23:350:23:36

Look at that, through you go! 8!

0:23:410:23:42

APPLAUSE

0:23:420:23:44

Very well done indeed. 11.

0:23:460:23:47

Well played. Don't bathe in brine.

0:23:490:23:51

That's my motto.

0:23:510:23:52

Best place to bathe!

0:23:520:23:54

-What, in brine?

-Bit of saltwater, yeah.

0:23:540:23:56

-No.

-I'm interested, by the way, that baste,

0:23:560:24:00

which I thought was a very good, lovely answer,

0:24:000:24:03

our 100 were all over that.

0:24:030:24:05

-Yeah.

-Baste and brine...

0:24:050:24:07

-Loved it.

-Brute?

0:24:070:24:08

-They weren't finding it.

-What does that tell us?

0:24:110:24:13

That tells us they like cooking, and swimming...

0:24:130:24:15

..which is nice. I think it's a very fair reflection on them.

0:24:160:24:20

That is what it is.

0:24:200:24:22

-OK, thank you.

-Have you got an answer, by the way?

0:24:230:24:26

-Oh, have I?!

-Have you?

-Yes, I have.

0:24:260:24:27

-Good, because I've written one down.

-Oh, good, good, good.

0:24:270:24:30

Now, Kayvon.

0:24:300:24:32

Kayvon, the high-scorers

0:24:330:24:35

are still Josh and Steve H on 23,

0:24:350:24:36

so 9 or less is what you should be aiming for.

0:24:360:24:41

Um...I think I'm going to go with blade.

0:24:420:24:46

Blade, says Kayvon.

0:24:460:24:47

Here is your red line. If you can get below that red line with blade,

0:24:480:24:51

you are through to the head-to-head. How many people said blade?

0:24:510:24:54

It's right.

0:24:560:24:57

20 for blade. APPLAUSE

0:25:020:25:04

Takes your total up to 33.

0:25:040:25:06

-It's exciting.

-See, they're obviously thinking

0:25:070:25:10

blade as in cooking, not blade as in brute.

0:25:100:25:13

-That's why it scored so many.

-I see. OK.

0:25:130:25:15

Thank you very much, Richard.

0:25:150:25:17

Now, Josh.

0:25:170:25:19

You have to score 9 or less,

0:25:190:25:22

or we say goodbye.

0:25:220:25:23

Blame.

0:25:240:25:26

OK, blame, says Josh.

0:25:260:25:28

Here is your red line.

0:25:280:25:29

Let's see how far down the column we get with blame.

0:25:290:25:32

Will it keep you in the game?

0:25:320:25:33

25 for blame. APPLAUSE

0:25:420:25:44

48 is your total.

0:25:440:25:46

That's a very awkward word to get knocked out on, I'm afraid!

0:25:490:25:52

Blame. Um...

0:25:520:25:54

-Now, what's your word?

-Mine is breve.

0:25:560:25:59

-Breve?

-Musical. Breve, B-R-E-V-E.

0:25:590:26:01

Oh, I should have thought you'd say breve!

0:26:010:26:03

I might have known you'd say...

0:26:030:26:05

-I didn't know you'd say breve. 4 points for breve.

-Ah.

0:26:050:26:07

A very nice answer. I thought you were going to say...

0:26:070:26:10

I bet that was lower-scoring than breve.

0:26:120:26:14

It was a pointless answer, yeah.

0:26:140:26:16

-Oh! Thank you.

-That's OK.

-Yeah.

0:26:160:26:18

It's not the first time I've overestimated you!

0:26:180:26:21

-No.

-Is it? Breve is a lovely answer, though.

-Yeah, you know.

0:26:210:26:24

No, I think it's a nice answer.

0:26:240:26:25

Now, shall we take a look at some pointless answers?

0:26:250:26:27

I think you'll enjoy that.

0:26:270:26:29

Barre, as in you would have in ballet dancing.

0:26:300:26:34

-To belie.

-Mm.

-Belie is a pointless answer.

0:26:340:26:36

Bikie, that's a sort of Australia and New Zealand thing

0:26:360:26:39

for motorcyclists.

0:26:390:26:40

Biome, which is a lot of flora and fauna.

0:26:400:26:43

Bocce, which is an Italian game.

0:26:430:26:46

Bodge - to bodge.

0:26:460:26:48

Boite, that's a small restaurant or nightclub.

0:26:500:26:53

Bowie. It'd be nice, wouldn't it, if you got that?

0:26:530:26:56

Brume, as well,

0:26:560:26:57

which is if you don't know how to spell broom properly.

0:26:570:27:00

Very well done if you got any of those.

0:27:010:27:03

Let's take a look at the top three,

0:27:030:27:04

the ones that most of our 100 people said.

0:27:040:27:06

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

0:27:150:27:18

the pair we have to say goodbye to, with their high score of 48...

0:27:180:27:21

I'm afraid, Josh and Steve H, it is you -

0:27:210:27:23

but you'll be back next time,

0:27:230:27:25

so you'll have another chance to have a run at the Pointless final.

0:27:250:27:27

Good luck with that, I'm sure you'll go much further then.

0:27:270:27:30

In the meantime, thanks very much, Josh and Steve.

0:27:300:27:33

APPLAUSE

0:27:330:27:34

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

0:27:360:27:39

Congratulations, Steve and Kayvon, Sally and Stuart.

0:27:440:27:47

You are now one step closer to the final,

0:27:470:27:49

and a chance to play for our jackpot,

0:27:490:27:50

which currently stands at £3,750.

0:27:500:27:54

But the great news is we have arrived at the head-to-head,

0:27:570:27:59

and that means you can play as a team -

0:27:590:28:01

you can chat before you give your answers -

0:28:010:28:03

and the first pair to win two questions

0:28:030:28:04

will be playing for that jackpot.

0:28:040:28:06

So we have our Brummies versus our Jumpers.

0:28:060:28:08

This is perfect. Neither of you have been here before,

0:28:080:28:12

but we've had some good answers.

0:28:120:28:13

Lovely low score from you, Sally, in that last round.

0:28:130:28:16

So I think this ought to be close.

0:28:160:28:18

Best of luck to both pairs, let's play the head-to-head.

0:28:180:28:21

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

0:28:270:28:30

-Richard.

-Yeah, we're going to show you five pairs

0:28:330:28:35

of professional snooker players now, who share a surname.

0:28:350:28:38

We just need that surname, please.

0:28:380:28:39

-Best of luck.

-OK, let's reveal our five pairs of snooker players,

0:28:390:28:42

and here they come.

0:28:420:28:43

There you go. Five sets of snooker players who all share a name.

0:29:140:29:18

Now, Steve and Kayvon, you're our low-scorers, so you will go first.

0:29:180:29:22

Can you think of any?

0:29:220:29:23

No.

0:29:230:29:25

My guess would be A, and it would be White.

0:29:260:29:30

Is that all we need to say, the surname?

0:29:320:29:34

-Yeah.

-It's as good a guess as I've got.

-OK.

0:29:340:29:37

We're going to go for A, White.

0:29:370:29:39

A, White.

0:29:390:29:42

A, White, say Steve and Kayvon.

0:29:420:29:45

Now, Sally and Stuart.

0:29:450:29:47

Do you want to talk us through the board?

0:29:480:29:50

No, snooker's not our strong point!

0:29:500:29:53

Um...

0:29:530:29:55

I was going to say A, as well, but Taylor.

0:29:550:29:59

OK, so you'd like to say Taylor.

0:29:590:30:01

We have White and we have Taylor.

0:30:010:30:03

Now only one of you can be right.

0:30:030:30:04

Let's find out which one it's going to be.

0:30:040:30:06

Steve and Kayvon said White for A.

0:30:060:30:07

Let's see if it's right,

0:30:070:30:09

let's see how many of our 100 people said White.

0:30:090:30:11

-Surprised?

-Doesn't necessarily mean Sally and Stuart are right,

0:30:150:30:18

but let's find out.

0:30:180:30:20

Taylor, say Sally and Stuart.

0:30:200:30:22

Ah, and they are right. Look at that.

0:30:250:30:27

36. APPLAUSE

0:30:300:30:31

Well done, Sally and Stuart.

0:30:330:30:34

That means, after one question, you are up 1-0.

0:30:340:30:37

Yeah, that's Dennis Taylor, of course, the world champion,

0:30:370:30:39

and David Taylor, the Silver Fox.

0:30:390:30:41

B is the biggest scorer by some way.

0:30:410:30:43

-Higgins.

-Yes, Alex and John Higgins.

0:30:430:30:45

Would have scored you 62.

0:30:450:30:48

-C. Neil Robertson...

-Exactly.

0:30:480:30:49

..and that's Jimmy Robertson next to him, so Robertson.

0:30:490:30:53

Would have scored you 8.

0:30:530:30:54

I've bagged myself a pointless answer with this other one,

0:30:540:30:57

and that is way back from the glory days of kind of early '80s snooker -

0:30:570:31:01

the Welshman Cliff Wilson

0:31:010:31:03

and one of the future stars of snooker, Kyren Wilson.

0:31:030:31:06

So, Wilson - well done if you said that,

0:31:060:31:07

I know snooker fans will have done.

0:31:070:31:09

-Pointless answer.

-Look at Cliff Wilson, what a dude.

-Yeah.

0:31:090:31:12

-That's when snooker was snooker.

-Look at that.

0:31:120:31:14

And E is Kirk and Matthew Stevens -

0:31:140:31:19

and that would've scored you 11 points.

0:31:190:31:21

Thank you very much indeed, Richard.

0:31:210:31:23

So here comes the second question -

0:31:230:31:25

Steve and Kayvon, you have to win this one to stay in the game,

0:31:250:31:28

but Sally and Stuart will be answering it first,

0:31:280:31:30

so good luck with that.

0:31:300:31:31

Our second question today is all about the Eiffel Tower. Richard.

0:31:310:31:36

We're going to show you five clues now to facts about the Eiffel Tower.

0:31:360:31:39

Can you give us the most obscure answer?

0:31:390:31:41

OK, let's reveal our five Eiffel facts, and here they come.

0:31:410:31:44

We have got...

0:31:440:31:45

I'll read those all one last time.

0:32:070:32:09

-Sally and Stuart will go first.

-OK.

0:32:270:32:29

We only know two, so we're going to go for the last one,

0:32:290:32:33

about the...the prison that was stormed,

0:32:330:32:36

-and we think that's the Bastille.

-Bastille, say Sally and Stuart.

0:32:360:32:39

Now, then, Steve and Kayvon.

0:32:390:32:42

Do you fancy talking us through that board?

0:32:420:32:45

Not really. Um...

0:32:450:32:46

We know that the city is Paris,

0:32:470:32:49

we thought that the prison would be the Bastille,

0:32:490:32:54

but what did you want to...?

0:32:540:32:56

You can talk out loud -

0:32:560:32:57

you can do all your reasoning out loud, if you like.

0:32:570:32:59

We were thinking of...

0:32:590:33:00

We were thinking of guessing the first name of the engineer.

0:33:000:33:02

THEY WHISPER

0:33:020:33:05

We're going to go with Paris as the city.

0:33:050:33:07

OK.

0:33:090:33:10

OK. So, we have Bastille and we have...

0:33:120:33:15

Sorry, I've forgotten what it's called, remind me.

0:33:160:33:19

Paris. Sally and Stuart have gone for Bastille.

0:33:190:33:22

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

0:33:220:33:25

49 for Bastille. APPLAUSE

0:33:320:33:33

Steve and Kayvon taking a bit of a punt here,

0:33:370:33:40

saying the city of Paris.

0:33:400:33:42

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

0:33:420:33:46

Well, yes.

0:33:490:33:50

That was better than I thought it was going to be!

0:33:500:33:52

APPLAUSE 88 is what Paris scores -

0:33:520:33:54

and it means, after only two questions,

0:33:540:33:56

Sally and Stuart are straight through to the final.

0:33:560:34:00

Were you going to have a guess at the first name of the...?

0:34:000:34:03

We were. You were going to say?

0:34:030:34:05

I was going to say Pierre.

0:34:050:34:06

I'm not sure if the timelines are right,

0:34:060:34:08

but I was going to say Isambard, as in Isambard Kingdom Brunel.

0:34:080:34:10

-I don't know if that's...

-Paris was a good answer, it's fine!

0:34:110:34:14

Ah, Lordy Lord.

0:34:180:34:19

They both work in the same place, they both trampoline...

0:34:200:34:23

..their knowledge of the Eiffel Tower,

0:34:230:34:25

I'm going to put it in the woeful category,

0:34:250:34:28

that's where I'm going to put it. The, er - do know the top one?

0:34:280:34:31

I'm going to - is it Les Invalides, is it?

0:34:310:34:33

It's not, it's not, it's a place...

0:34:330:34:34

We've all been there, that's the thing.

0:34:340:34:36

you know when you have to get off at a certain Tube station

0:34:360:34:38

and all that kind of stuff, and then it just drifts out of my head.

0:34:380:34:41

It's the Champ de Mars.

0:34:410:34:42

Would have scored you 5 points.

0:34:420:34:43

Now, if you had to guess the decade, it's a tricky one,

0:34:430:34:47

those decades ones are always slightly difficult.

0:34:470:34:49

Now what would you say for the decade?

0:34:490:34:50

Well it's... It's got to be 19th century.

0:34:500:34:54

Um, 1890s.

0:34:550:34:57

Ooh! 1880s.

0:34:570:34:59

Yeah. Very well played. Would have scored you 11 points.

0:34:590:35:02

And the first name, not Pierre, not Isambard.

0:35:020:35:05

It's not even a French name.

0:35:050:35:07

No, I... He's Gustave.

0:35:070:35:08

Gustave is exactly the name, yes -

0:35:080:35:10

and Gustave would've scored 8 points.

0:35:100:35:12

So the best answer on the board is Champ de Mars.

0:35:120:35:14

-Well done if you said that.

-Thank you very much indeed.

0:35:140:35:17

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

0:35:170:35:20

Steve and Kayvon, I'm so sorry.

0:35:200:35:21

The wheels came off slightly in that round,

0:35:210:35:24

but it's been great having you on.

0:35:240:35:25

Two great shows you've been in,

0:35:250:35:27

and I'm sorry we have to say goodbye now,

0:35:270:35:29

but thank you so much for playing. Steve and Kayvon, fantastic.

0:35:290:35:31

APPLAUSE

0:35:310:35:35

But for Sally and Stuart, it is now time for our Pointless final.

0:35:350:35:38

Congratulations Sally and Stuart,

0:35:420:35:44

you've fought off all the competition

0:35:440:35:45

and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.

0:35:450:35:47

-Yes!

-You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.

0:35:530:35:56

At the end of today's show, the jackpot is standing at £3,750.

0:35:560:36:00

Well, this is nice.

0:36:040:36:05

Sally, this is good, because it means you can, you know,

0:36:050:36:08

you can get a train back up north, get a nice early night

0:36:080:36:11

and lie in tomorrow. Oh! Fantastic.

0:36:110:36:13

How nice, your class will all be watching.

0:36:130:36:15

-Yes.

-Well they will be now.

0:36:150:36:16

-They will be.

-You can tell them.

-Yep.

-They're going to be so proud.

0:36:160:36:19

You're not going to be allowed to show them your trophy, presumably,

0:36:190:36:21

-until after this has gone out.

-Of course.

0:36:210:36:23

-Have to keep it under lock and key.

-I will.

0:36:230:36:25

Well, Stuart, you've got to win this jackpot, by the way.

0:36:250:36:28

It can't just sit there getting bigger.

0:36:280:36:30

What would you like to see come up, what's going to help you win it?

0:36:300:36:33

Er, I would like films, actors,

0:36:330:36:36

music of certain eras, classic rock music maybe.

0:36:360:36:40

-Sally, anything you want to add to that?

-Same -

0:36:400:36:42

just movies, films, TV shows.

0:36:420:36:45

-No sport.

-No sport.

-Right, well, very, very best of luck.

0:36:450:36:49

Let's see what today's selection looks like. We've got...

0:36:490:36:51

OK for Alternative Bands?

0:37:020:37:04

And then it's your fault.

0:37:050:37:06

-I...

-LAUGHTER

0:37:060:37:08

-Yes, I think we'll have to go for Alternative Bands.

-Yeah.

0:37:080:37:11

Alternative Bands it is.

0:37:110:37:12

OK, very, very best of luck.

0:37:120:37:13

We are looking for any UK top 40 hit studio album

0:37:130:37:16

by any of the following bands, please, up to February 2016.

0:37:160:37:21

So...

0:37:210:37:22

So no greatest hits, live albums, anything like that.

0:37:280:37:30

Just studio albums released by any of those three bands

0:37:300:37:32

that were UK top 40 hits according to the officialcharts.com.

0:37:320:37:35

-Very best of luck.

-Thank you very much.

0:37:350:37:37

Now, as always, you've got up to one minute

0:37:370:37:39

to come up with three answers,

0:37:390:37:40

and all you need to win that jackpot

0:37:400:37:42

is for just one of those answers to be pointless. Are you ready?

0:37:420:37:45

-Yes.

-Yes.

-OK.

0:37:450:37:46

Let's put 60 seconds up on the clock.

0:37:460:37:48

There they are, your time starts now.

0:37:480:37:50

-I think we've picked the wrong subject.

-Yes. OK...

0:37:500:37:53

I don't know...

0:37:530:37:54

Shall we pick a song where an album might be named after a song?

0:37:540:37:57

I was thinking of a band name,

0:37:570:37:59

-could be an album name for some of them, maybe.

-Yeah.

0:37:590:38:02

-So we could say The Cure...

-The Cure...

0:38:020:38:05

No self-titled albums, guys.

0:38:050:38:08

-No self-titled, OK.

-OK.

0:38:080:38:10

-Boys Don't Cry?

-Boys Don't Cry, yeah...

0:38:100:38:12

Um...

0:38:120:38:13

Any other songs by Siouxsie And The Banshees?

0:38:150:38:17

The Cure? Friday I'm In Love?

0:38:180:38:20

Friday I'm In Love, yes, let's go for that.

0:38:200:38:23

And...anything by Siouxsie And The Banshees?

0:38:230:38:26

-Any songs?

-I don't know.

-No? Anything by Talking Heads?

0:38:270:38:29

Jen's going to kill me!

0:38:290:38:32

Um...

0:38:320:38:33

Anything by Talking Heads that you know?

0:38:330:38:36

We'll make one up.

0:38:360:38:38

-OK.

-Ten seconds left.

0:38:380:38:40

Friday I'm In Love and...

0:38:400:38:42

-You invent something.

-I don't...

-Make one up.

0:38:420:38:46

OK, that is your minute up. I'm so sorry.

0:38:500:38:51

That minute's... Sometimes those minutes aren't too long.

0:38:510:38:54

I think that minute was 60 seconds too long for you, wasn't it.

0:38:540:38:57

-It was.

-That was tough.

0:38:570:38:58

It's tough, we don't know...

0:38:580:39:00

Let's have - well, it's quite funny,

0:39:000:39:02

you can make up some album titles if you want to do.

0:39:020:39:05

What are you going to go for?

0:39:050:39:07

With The Cure, we're going to go for a couple of their songs

0:39:070:39:10

and hope there was an album the same.

0:39:100:39:11

So, Boys Don't Cry.

0:39:110:39:13

-Boys Don't Cry.

-Friday I'm In Love.

0:39:130:39:15

Friday I'm In Love.

0:39:150:39:16

And then for Talking Heads, we're going to say...

0:39:160:39:21

This...is completely your invention.

0:39:210:39:24

Smash.

0:39:240:39:25

Smash. OK. Now, of those three,

0:39:250:39:27

which is your best shot at a pointless answer?

0:39:270:39:30

Um, Boys Don't Cry?

0:39:300:39:31

Boys Don't Cry goes last. Least likely to be pointless?

0:39:310:39:34

-Smash.

-Smash.

-Smash.

0:39:340:39:35

And then we've got Friday I'm In Love in the middle.

0:39:350:39:37

OK. Well, let's put those answers up in that order,

0:39:370:39:40

and here they are. We've got...

0:39:400:39:42

Well, three brave answers, let's say, there -

0:39:460:39:49

and two of them, at least, could be right.

0:39:490:39:51

And they could end up being pointless.

0:39:510:39:53

If you would win that jackpot of £3,750,

0:39:530:39:55

what would you like to do with it? Sally, you first.

0:39:550:39:57

Ooh. We've got our wedding reception coming up.

0:39:570:40:00

We eloped on Valentine's Day, so now we owe everyone a party.

0:40:000:40:04

-Lovely.

-So it would go towards maybe an Elvis impersonator

0:40:040:40:08

or a band to come and play

0:40:080:40:09

because we were married by an Elvis impersonator in Las Vegas.

0:40:090:40:13

Fantastic.

0:40:130:40:14

Well, congratulations.

0:40:140:40:16

Are you absolutely certain it was an impersonator?

0:40:160:40:18

Well!

0:40:180:40:20

He was pretty old, he could have been,

0:40:200:40:22

he could have been the real one.

0:40:220:40:24

OK. So, a big party is what you need.

0:40:240:40:26

Stuart, anything you want to add to that?

0:40:260:40:28

It's the same, or put it towards a classic Volkswagen camper van.

0:40:280:40:33

OK. Well, best of luck. Three answers, as I say, on the board.

0:40:330:40:36

Let's see if any of those -

0:40:360:40:37

well, let's see if any of them are right, to start with.

0:40:370:40:39

Smash was your first answer.

0:40:390:40:41

In this case, we were looking for albums by Talking Heads.

0:40:410:40:43

If it is right and if it is pointless, it will win you £3,750 -

0:40:430:40:46

but let's see how many people said it. Is it right?

0:40:460:40:49

It's not right.

0:40:520:40:53

Sadly.

0:40:530:40:55

So we move quickly on to your next answer, Friday I'm In Love.

0:40:550:40:58

In this case we were looking for albums by The Cure.

0:40:580:41:00

Again, if it's pointless, it will win you £3,750.

0:41:000:41:04

How many people said Friday I'm In Love?

0:41:040:41:07

Bad luck. Another incorrect answer.

0:41:110:41:13

So we turn to your third and final answer, Boys Don't Cry,

0:41:130:41:16

another Cure song -

0:41:160:41:17

you're hoping this might be the name of an album

0:41:170:41:19

that nobody else could remember.

0:41:190:41:21

If it's pointless it wins you £3,750.

0:41:210:41:24

How many people said Boys Don't Cry?

0:41:240:41:26

Oh, bad luck.

0:41:290:41:30

Bad luck. Well, that was a game effort, I have to say.

0:41:320:41:36

It could have gone much better, that round,

0:41:360:41:38

had it been some bands you knew.

0:41:380:41:40

It's always like that in this last round, though,

0:41:420:41:44

but really strong performance throughout the show.

0:41:440:41:46

Very good indeed.

0:41:460:41:48

You get a Pointless trophy to take home, each, as well,

0:41:480:41:50

and you did it all in one show -

0:41:500:41:52

which is a stealth raid, you might say.

0:41:520:41:54

So very, very well done. Sally and Stuart.

0:41:540:41:57

APPLAUSE

0:41:570:41:58

Yeah, you chose exactly the right tactic, as well,

0:42:040:42:06

to go for the names of Cure songs.

0:42:060:42:07

Boys Don't Cry was an album, actually, but not a hit album -

0:42:070:42:10

it was number 71, something like that, Boys Don't Cry -

0:42:100:42:12

but exactly the right tactics.

0:42:120:42:14

Let's take a look, now, at the pointless answers,

0:42:140:42:17

cos I know some people at home will have done well on this

0:42:170:42:19

if you like any of these bands. The Cure...

0:42:190:42:22

So, they were the only four pointless answers,

0:42:250:42:27

so well done if you got one of those.

0:42:270:42:29

Talking Heads, there's only two pointless answers here...

0:42:290:42:32

And Siouxsie And The Banshees.

0:42:340:42:36

Let's take a look.

0:42:370:42:39

Also could have had Peepshow, Superstition and The Rapture.

0:42:410:42:44

They were all pointless.

0:42:440:42:45

Very, very well done if you got any of those at home.

0:42:450:42:47

Thanks very much, Richard. And thanks very much, Sally and Stuart.

0:42:470:42:50

Sadly, they didn't win our jackpot today,

0:42:500:42:52

which means it rolls over onto the next show,

0:42:520:42:55

when we will be playing for £4,750.

0:42:550:42:57

Join us then, see if someone can win it.

0:42:590:43:01

-Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...

-Goodbye.

0:43:010:43:03

..and it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
