0:00:17 > 0:00:20CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:21 > 0:00:25Thank you very much indeed. Hello, this is Pointless,
0:00:25 > 0:00:30the quiz show where fewer points mean a higher chance of winning. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:33 > 0:00:37Welcome back, Heather and Leanne. You were with us last time.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Everyone gets two shots on Pointless. How did you do last time?
0:00:39 > 0:00:43We amazed ourselves and got through to the head-to-head.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45You did. What finished you off?
0:00:45 > 0:00:48- It was the James Cameron question that...- Films.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50Films...that kind of thing.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54Very tricky. What would be your favourite categories today?
0:00:54 > 0:00:56- Television.- Music, for me.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58Music and television. Everyone says music!
0:00:58 > 0:01:02- I know.- It never comes up. Maybe this afternoon it will.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Enjoy yourselves, the very best of luck.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08And welcome to Tom and Katy. How do you know each other?
0:01:08 > 0:01:10We've been married for about a year.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14We met about four years ago in a pub playing a local quiz machine.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16- You met at a quiz machine?- Indeed.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Did you just impress each other with your trivia?
0:01:19 > 0:01:22- Yes.- He impressed me, yeah.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24I chased him.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27You chased him, thinking, "That man knows so much."
0:01:27 > 0:01:29The very best of luck to you this afternoon.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Welcome to Les and Catherine, how do you know each other?
0:01:32 > 0:01:34I've known him all my life, he's my dad.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37- He's your father?- Yeah. - Very good. Where have you come from?
0:01:37 > 0:01:38From Grimsby.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Excellent! What do you do, Les?
0:01:40 > 0:01:42- I'm retired now.- What did you do?
0:01:42 > 0:01:45I was a project manager in information technology.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49- Very good, and Catherine? - I'm a civil servant.- Spectacular.
0:01:49 > 0:01:50Are you very competitive?
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Very competitive, yeah. My dad brought us up to be competitive.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57Wouldn't even let us win at tiddly winks when we were children. So...
0:01:57 > 0:02:01And as a force working in unison, you're going to be unstoppable.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03- Oh, dear...- I hope so! - The best of luck to the pair of you.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06Mike and Dave, welcome to you. How do you two know each other?
0:02:06 > 0:02:09We met seven years ago on the internet
0:02:09 > 0:02:11and we've been partners ever since.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14- That was a good match, wasn't it? - It was a good move.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18- Where are you from?- Telford in Shropshire.- What do you do, Mike?
0:02:18 > 0:02:19I'm a retired police officer.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22- Dave, how about you? - I'm a community support officer for the police.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26I see, right. Both policemen. Ex-policemen.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Do you ever talk about anything apart from the law?
0:02:29 > 0:02:31I don't talk about it any more.
0:02:31 > 0:02:35Maybe the law might come up this afternoon. I fancy your chances if it does.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39We'll find out more about all of you throughout the show.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43There's one more person to introduce - the man behind all the facts and figures.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45- My Pointless friend, Richard.- Hiya.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:02:49 > 0:02:53What kind of a show have we got this afternoon, Richard?
0:02:53 > 0:02:56We've had three jackpots in a row, which we've never done before.
0:02:56 > 0:03:01Three times in a row we've given away the money. If we can make it four, I don't know.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04- Mike, you're a retired police officer.- I am.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06The jackpot last time was won by a retired police officer.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10No pressure. Have you noticed that police officers do a lot better than teachers?
0:03:10 > 0:03:13Teachers are rubbish. Any teachers?
0:03:15 > 0:03:16We should have a good show.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19We put all our questions to 100 people before the show
0:03:19 > 0:03:23but this is Pointless, so we're after those answers they couldn't get.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25The fewer people who got the answer, the fewer the points
0:03:25 > 0:03:27that we award and the better the chance of winning.
0:03:27 > 0:03:32To stay in the game with a chance to win the jackpot, our players need to score as few points as they can
0:03:32 > 0:03:35but what everyone's trying to do is find a pointless answer.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38One that none of our 100 people gave.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41When that happens we'll add £250 to the jackpot.
0:03:41 > 0:03:46Clare-Louise and Jo won the jackpot last time, so today's jackpot starts off at £1,000.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49APPLAUSE
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Let's play Pointless.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01In the first round, each of you must give me one answer and you cannot confer.
0:04:01 > 0:04:05The team with the highest score at the end of the round is eliminated.
0:04:05 > 0:04:09Right, our category for the first round this afternoon is...
0:04:10 > 0:04:11Marine life.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15Marine life.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19Decide in your pairs who's going to go first and who will go second.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Whoever's going first, step up to the podium.
0:04:26 > 0:04:27Let's find out what the question is.
0:04:27 > 0:04:34We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many species of shark as they could. Richard?
0:04:34 > 0:04:36It's a slightly complicated one, I'm afraid.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40All the correct answers in this round are species of shark.
0:04:43 > 0:04:48Right, Heather and Leanne, you drew lots before the show and you get to go first.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52We're going to give you a choice of seven possible answers on the board in each pass.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55The first set of seven reads like this.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06I'll just read those again...
0:05:09 > 0:05:12There is at least one pointless answer on the board.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14There is also at least one incorrect answer.
0:05:14 > 0:05:20Land on the incorrect one and you will, of course, score the maximum of 100 points.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22- Leanne, it's not music...- I know.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24It's not television. It's sharks.
0:05:24 > 0:05:29Yeah, right. I'm going to give...
0:05:30 > 0:05:34I want to give thresher a shot.
0:05:34 > 0:05:35OK.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39Let's see how many out of 100 people said that. Thresher...
0:05:41 > 0:05:42It's right.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:05:51 > 0:05:53What a fantastic start to the show.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56That is a pointless answer and adds £250 to today's jackpot
0:05:56 > 0:06:00taking the total up to £1,250. And, it scores you nothing.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03APPLAUSE
0:06:04 > 0:06:07- Thresher.- Very good answer and a good start to the show.
0:06:07 > 0:06:12The largest thresher ever caught was caught off the coast of Cornwall.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Really, how large was it?
0:06:14 > 0:06:16- It was 1,200 lbs.- Wow!
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Hang on, sorry, that's what it cost. It was about that big...
0:06:20 > 0:06:22But, either way, don't go swimming.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Right, we are looking for species of shark, Katy.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30- Species of shark, one answer has gone...- It's not my subject.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34There could be another pointless answer. It's not your subject?
0:06:34 > 0:06:37- No.- It's quite specific.
0:06:37 > 0:06:42Do you have a vague knowledge of stuff going on underwater?
0:06:42 > 0:06:46- I know two but I want to take a guess on one.- OK.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48So I'm going to say Mako, or MACKO.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52Mako or MACKO, perhaps I should have said MACKO. I just said Mako.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56Let's see if it's right and if it is, let's see how many people said it. Mako.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59It is correct.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09Katy, well done. Mako is a shark, only three people knew it.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11It scores you three.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14- What a great start to the show. - Another great answer.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16The mako shark is the fastest shark.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20- It can achieve speeds of up to 60 miles per hour.- 60?
0:07:20 > 0:07:22So you never find it in built-up areas.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28They will ticket anything, won't they?
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Catherine, we're looking for species of shark.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Two have gone from the board.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36The top two.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38You've got five left to choose from.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40What are you going to go for?
0:07:40 > 0:07:43- Are you any sort of marine biologist?- Not at all, no.
0:07:43 > 0:07:49The sharks that I do know, there's some obvious ones there, that I'm not going to go for.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53But, whether there are any more that are small points, I don't know.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57Les is looking up to the heavens. I'm just going to tell you now.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59I think that's a mark of great confidence, isn't it?
0:07:59 > 0:08:02- Yes.- He has great faith in you.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06I might go semi-safe and try tiger.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Semi-safe, try tiger.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11There it is, middle of the board. Let's see if it's right
0:08:11 > 0:08:14and if it is, let's see how many people said tiger.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17It's a right answer.
0:08:22 > 0:08:2429, that's good.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27Not a bad answer, Richard.
0:08:27 > 0:08:28Yeah, tiger shark, well done.
0:08:28 > 0:08:33They're called the waste baskets of the seas. They'll eat anything, including people.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Is that where the tiger bit comes from?
0:08:35 > 0:08:41No, because it's got little stripes and it's very, very good at golf.
0:08:41 > 0:08:42LAUGHTER
0:08:44 > 0:08:50But most sharks won't eat people, but the tiger shark, particularly, will do.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52So, you know, if you ever see a shark with a putter...
0:08:52 > 0:08:54LAUGHTER ..swim!
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Dave, one of those, at least, is incorrect.
0:08:59 > 0:09:04I have to warn you. We've had three fantastic answers.
0:09:04 > 0:09:09I always thought I had a very good knowledge of marine life.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13- Until now.- No, I still think I know quite a few on there.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16There's one, in particular, that I'm a bit unsure about.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Being a shark or a whale.
0:09:18 > 0:09:23I'm going to go with it just to see and I'm going to go with blue.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25- You're going to go with blue?- Yeah.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28- It could be a whale. You think?- It could be.
0:09:28 > 0:09:33Well done, good for you. We're all going to learn, thanks to you.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Taking one for the team, well done.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Let's see, please, all of us remember this...
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Whatever it is, always remember...
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Let's see if it is a shark or a whale.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44You're saying blue. Let's see how many people said it.
0:09:46 > 0:09:47It's right.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54That's a good answer, Dave, 15.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59Good one, blue scores you 15. Richard?
0:09:59 > 0:10:01There is a blue shark. A very common species.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04There's also a blue whale and a bluebird.
0:10:04 > 0:10:11- Female blue sharks have skin which is three times thicker than the males. - Really?- Yeah.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14I can't think of any other species that would apply to.
0:10:16 > 0:10:17What about the rest of those?
0:10:17 > 0:10:20The great white, obviously, is a shark.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24That would have scored you a fairly whopping 81 points.
0:10:24 > 0:10:25Now dusky and hooper -
0:10:25 > 0:10:29one of those is a pointless answer and one of those is incorrect.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31What do you think?
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Erm...I think...
0:10:35 > 0:10:39Oh, you see, you'd think dusky was one you'd just had fun making up.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Like a temptress of a shark.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Dusky, yes.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46I'm going to say dusky is actually,
0:10:46 > 0:10:48with her come-hither eyes,
0:10:48 > 0:10:52she's the one. She's the pointless one.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55Dusky is indeed a species of shark. A pointless answer.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Well done if you got that at home.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Hooper was the incorrect answer.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Matt Hooper is the character Richard Dreyfuss plays in Jaws.
0:11:02 > 0:11:08Very good. We are halfway through the round. Let's look at the scores as they stand at this point.
0:11:08 > 0:11:13Some very impressive low scoring early on. Heather and Leanne,
0:11:13 > 0:11:15that was brilliant.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19Tom and Katy, likewise. Very good scoring from you, Katy.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Les and Catherine, that wasn't bad but I'm afraid you are out in front.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25So, Les, pressure on you to answer very carefully in the next part.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27We're going to come back down the line.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Can the second players please take their places at the podium.
0:11:33 > 0:11:38We're going to put seven more answers up on the board. We are looking for species of shark.
0:11:38 > 0:11:39We have got...
0:11:46 > 0:11:48I'll read those again...
0:11:54 > 0:11:57There we are. I can tell you there is at least one
0:11:57 > 0:12:01pointless answer on the board and there is at least one incorrect answer.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Land on the incorrect one and you'll score 100 points.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06Mike, how well did Dave do? That was brilliant.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08He impressed me, he did well.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13- How's your marine biology? - I don't spend a lot of time
0:12:13 > 0:12:16under the water, but I perhaps, obviously, should have done.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21I'm not saying you have to spend time with them!
0:12:21 > 0:12:22It would have helped though.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24It might have.
0:12:24 > 0:12:30I think I can't afford to play too safe. So, I think I've got to go...
0:12:30 > 0:12:31You are on 15.
0:12:31 > 0:12:36To avoid becoming the high scorers, you want to score 13 or less.
0:12:36 > 0:12:40For some reason, shagreen is jumping out at me.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43- That's the one I'm going to go for. - You're going for shagreen.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46Yes. I've never heard of it but sounds good.
0:12:46 > 0:12:51I'm thinking of it as an Irish shark, somehow. Shagreen.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55Somewhere off in the Irish Sea. There's the red line.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57If you come below that line with shagreen, you're through.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00Let's see how many of our 100 people said that.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02Shagreen...
0:13:05 > 0:13:07Oh, no!
0:13:07 > 0:13:10Oh, good of you to laugh it off, Mike.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14Shagreen is an incorrect answer and scores you the maximum 100 points,
0:13:14 > 0:13:18- taking your total up to 115. Richard, shagreen. - Yeah. Much to Mike's chagrin,
0:13:18 > 0:13:22it's not a shark, it's a decorative covering made from shark's skin.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Les, we're looking for species of shark.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30You're on 29. To avoid becoming the high scorers,
0:13:30 > 0:13:32you have to score 85 or less.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35Mike has done a very decent thing for you.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38He's done a bit of mine clearance there.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42That might be the only incorrect answer that was on the board.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45Water and I don't really mix at all.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49So, it's a complete and utter guess.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51I'm going for a name that doesn't mean anything.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53I'm going to go for hammerhead.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55You're going for hammerhead?
0:13:55 > 0:13:57That's a complete guess?
0:13:57 > 0:14:01What do you imagine a hammerhead looks like, I wonder?
0:14:01 > 0:14:04Who knows? There's your red line. If you come below that,
0:14:04 > 0:14:07hammerhead has seen you through. Let's see if it's correct. If it is,
0:14:07 > 0:14:09how many people said it? Hammerhead.
0:14:11 > 0:14:12Well, it is correct.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16Well done. 57.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20Gives you a total of 86 which sees you through to the next round.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23Richard, a hammerhead.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26It's got a head almost exactly like MC Hammer.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28That's how it's got its name.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31No, like a hammer. It's got a head like a hammer - hammerhead.
0:14:31 > 0:14:36Thanks very much, Richard. Tom, we're looking for species of shark.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38You are currently on three.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40There is no way you're leaving us at the end of this round
0:14:40 > 0:14:42even if you score 100 points.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44You're still through to the next round.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48There is still a pointless answer, at least one pointless answer.
0:14:48 > 0:14:53With that in mind, I think I'm going to have to go for dogfish.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55You're going to go for dogfish.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58You're hoping this is a pointless answer that will add £250
0:14:58 > 0:15:00to our jackpot. Let's see if it's right.
0:15:00 > 0:15:04If it is, let's see how many people said it. Dogfish.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07It's right.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14APPLAUSE
0:15:16 > 0:15:21Very impressive. Nice low score. You've picked your total up to seven. Richard?
0:15:21 > 0:15:26There are countless species of dogfish in the world, particularly in the UK. Very good answer.
0:15:27 > 0:15:32Four answers left on the board. You scored nothing in the first pass, thanks to Leanne.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35- Yep.- Go for a double pointless. A double pointless.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38There's got to be at least one pointless answer.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42- There might be more.- I was looking and I was really looking at dogfish
0:15:42 > 0:15:49as well but that's away, so... I have never heard of a lemon shark.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52I don't know. It could be pointless.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55I might as well go for it. I've got nothing to lose.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57You might as well. Sole gets a lemon.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59- There's a lemon sole. - Maybe shark gets a lemon, too.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Mmm.
0:16:01 > 0:16:05Let's see if lemon is right - a lemon shark.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09It's right.
0:16:15 > 0:16:16Oh, one!
0:16:16 > 0:16:17APPLAUSE
0:16:17 > 0:16:21Great answer though. Giving you a total of one. Richard?
0:16:21 > 0:16:24The lemon shark, the most delicious of all the sharks.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27Lovely with an egg fried rice.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30It's a sort of yellowy, brownish colour, the lemon shark.
0:16:30 > 0:16:35If it sees humans, it swims away because it's scared.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38It just wants a little bit of love.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42If you see a shark and it doesn't look like a tiger and it hasn't got
0:16:42 > 0:16:44a head shaped like a hammer, give it a little...
0:16:44 > 0:16:47Pat.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50Then take it home, cook it and eat it.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Let's take a look at the rest of the board.
0:16:52 > 0:16:57Whale shark - that would have scored you 19.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00Now, Linnaeus and goblin, one of those is pointless,
0:17:00 > 0:17:02one of them's incorrect. What do you think?
0:17:02 > 0:17:06I'm going to say, weirdly, goblin is pointless.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Goblin is a pointless answer.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11The goblin shark goes right on the bottom of the ocean,
0:17:11 > 0:17:15sometimes called a vampire shark, which - note to goblin sharks -
0:17:15 > 0:17:16is a much cooler name.
0:17:16 > 0:17:21The Linnaeus shark is actually Carl Linnaeus, who was an 18th century Swedish zoologist,
0:17:21 > 0:17:25the first person to give the great white shark its name.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27I thought everybody knew that. Did you not all know that?
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Carl Linnaeus? Zoologist, yeah.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34He's one of my top five 18th-century Swedish zoologists. Carl Linnaeus.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36I love that guy. What a zoologist he was!
0:17:36 > 0:17:42- Yeah, what a Swedish zoologist that Carl Linnaeus was!- Oh, man!
0:17:42 > 0:17:46- What he didn't know about great white sharks...- Yeah. - Thanks, Richard.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50At the end of round one, the losing pair with the highest score, sorry to say, it's Mike and Dave.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52AUDIENCE: Aw!
0:17:52 > 0:17:56The problem was all the peachy answers had gone on your pass
0:17:56 > 0:18:00and, Mike, you did a very brave thing with shagreen.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03You had to go and find something.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06It could have been pointless, it just wasn't.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08A shame to say goodbye so early on but we'll see you again.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10Everyone gets two chances on Pointless.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13I'm sure you'll be even better then.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Thanks for playing. You've been great contestants.
0:18:16 > 0:18:17APPLAUSE
0:18:17 > 0:18:19For the remaining players, it's time for round two.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28It's time to find out which teams will be going through
0:18:28 > 0:18:32to the head-to-head for the chance to reach the Pointless final.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34The category for round two is...
0:18:36 > 0:18:40Can you decide in your pairs who's going first, and who's going second?
0:18:40 > 0:18:43Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49OK, and the question is...
0:18:52 > 0:18:57In this round, we're about to show you a list of famous people's real names.
0:18:57 > 0:19:03We gave 100 people 100 seconds to tell us which name they are better known by. Richard?
0:19:03 > 0:19:06We're going to give you six names on both passes.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08The most obscure ones will score you the fewest points.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11The more obvious ones will score you more.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14An incorrect answer will score 100 points.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17At home, see if you can get all six on both lists.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20OK, thanks, Richard. Your first six are...
0:19:40 > 0:19:44So, Heather, we are looking for these stars' more common names.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47I've heard of a couple.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50I'm not 100%.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52I don't know whether to go
0:19:52 > 0:19:55for the more obvious one that I know.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57How many of those are obvious to you?
0:19:57 > 0:19:59One.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01Totally one.
0:20:01 > 0:20:06I think I'll just go for Norma Jeane Baker. It's Marilyn Monroe.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08You are saying Norma Jeane Baker, Marilyn Monroe.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11Let's see if that's correct. I have a hunch it might be.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14If it is, let's see how many people knew that answer. Marilyn Monroe.
0:20:25 > 0:20:2761, that scores you. Richard?
0:20:27 > 0:20:30Safe answer. Much better than getting 100.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34- I think probably because of Candle In The Wind, it's more well-known, isn't it?- Indeed.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37- Katy.- This is my category. I like this.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40- Do you know all of those names? - Most of them.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42There's just one I'm not sure of.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Which one is pointless, I don't know.
0:20:44 > 0:20:48I'm going to do Shawn Carter, is Jay-Z.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50Shawn Carter, Jay-Z.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53Remember, we are looking for these stars' more common names.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55You're saying Shawn Carter, Jay-Z. Let's see if that's right.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58If it is, let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02It's correct.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04Good answer. Down it goes.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Well done!
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Very well done. That scores you six.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13Shawn Carter, Jay-Z.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17Jay-Z, very good answer. He's a multi-millionaire rapper.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20He's married to Beyonce, but is he happy?
0:21:20 > 0:21:22LAUGHTER
0:21:22 > 0:21:26I'm just hearing he is absolutely delirious.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30Thanks very much.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33Les, we're looking for these stars' more common names.
0:21:33 > 0:21:38The only one I know left is Reginald Dwight, Elton John.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Let see if that's right. Reginald Dwight, Elton John.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43See how many people knew that answer.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Ironically, also better known because of Candle In The Wind.
0:21:56 > 0:22:01- Yeah.- He called himself Elton Hercules John.- Really?
0:22:01 > 0:22:04- He's given himself a stage middle name.- Elton H John.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08Elton H John. Let's take a look at the rest of the board. Let's fill in gaps.
0:22:08 > 0:22:12Alexander, I think you may know a few of these. Marshall Mathers III.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14- Eminem.- Eminem, exactly.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17That scored 39 points. Jim Moir.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19- I know that. It's Vic Reeves. - It is Vic Reeves.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22That would have scored you 14 points.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Michael Pennington is a pointless answer.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26Well done if you're shouting this answer at the screen.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28- You know it?- It's Johnny Vegas.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30It is Johnny Vegas. Very well done.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32Well done if you got it at home.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39OK, let's take a look at the scores.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42They read like this...
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Very close at the top of the board.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48Les, obviously, 69, a little bit ahead.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Catherine, you're going to try and answer as low as you can
0:22:51 > 0:22:53on the next pass, as indeed are you, Leanne. But Tom,
0:22:53 > 0:22:58Katy's put you in a very strong position there. A nice low score of six.
0:22:58 > 0:23:04We're going to come back down the line. Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:23:04 > 0:23:09OK, we're going to put six more famous people's real names on the board.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Here is your second list.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31Remember, we are looking for these stars' more common names.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35You're trying to find one that the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37OK. So, Catherine.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42You have to score low here. You are the high scorers on 69.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45So, score as low as you possibly can.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47I think I know a couple of them.
0:23:47 > 0:23:51But it's trying to work out which is going to be the most pointless.
0:23:51 > 0:23:58I'll go with Sean Combs, who I think is Puff Daddy.
0:23:58 > 0:24:04OK. Puff Daddy. Let's see if that's right. No red line for you because you're the highest scorers.
0:24:04 > 0:24:09Let's see if that's right. If it is, let's see how many people said Sean Combs, Puff Daddy.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11It's right.
0:24:15 > 0:24:20Not a bad answer. Scores you 29, taking your total up to 98.
0:24:20 > 0:24:26We could have put Puff Daddy up there actually, and you'd have to think of his other name.
0:24:26 > 0:24:32- P Diddy, Puff Daddy. They're not getting better, his nicknames, are they?- Not really, no.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34OK, thanks very much. Tom.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37You have a fantastically low score of six.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39You have to score 91 or less with this answer.
0:24:39 > 0:24:45I'm going to go for the obvious then. Maurice Micklewhite is Michael Caine.
0:24:45 > 0:24:49OK, let's hope that isn't so obvious that it actually doesn't see you below that red line.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Let's see if it's right. I think it might be.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57If it is, let's see how many people said Maurice Micklewhite, Michael Caine.
0:24:58 > 0:24:59Done it.
0:25:04 > 0:25:0738. Taking your total up to 44. Richard?
0:25:07 > 0:25:11Very well done. We went through Michael Caine films the other day.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13We discovered he was in Jaws 4.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Apparently he said about Jaws 4,
0:25:15 > 0:25:18"I haven't seen the film, but by all accounts, it's terrible.
0:25:18 > 0:25:23"However, I have seen the house it built and that's terrific."
0:25:23 > 0:25:29Leanne. You were on 61. You want to score 36 or less with your answer.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33We are looking for the stars whose real names these are.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35I don't think it's going to happen!
0:25:35 > 0:25:37It might do. Do you know any of the remaining names?
0:25:37 > 0:25:41Do you know, I recognise Harry Webb and I recognise Gordon Sumner.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44It's like I just can't think of who they are.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47I don't know Steveland Morris at all.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51I'm going to have to go for Priscilla White and it's Cilla Black.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53Priscilla White, Cilla Black.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55Here's your red line.
0:25:55 > 0:26:00- Do you think Cilla Black is going to get you below there?- No.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02You're sure it's correct?
0:26:02 > 0:26:03I hope so.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06Heather thinks it's correct. Let's see if it is correct.
0:26:06 > 0:26:10If it is, let's see how many people said Priscilla White, Cilla Black.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15It's correct.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19Bad luck!
0:26:19 > 0:26:25Only takes you down as far as 59, giving you a total of 120, which I'm afraid sees you off the show.
0:26:25 > 0:26:30- That's really tough luck. Shall I break to you who Harry Webb and Gordon Sumner are?- Yeah.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32- Harry Webb, do you know? - Cliff Richard.
0:26:32 > 0:26:36- But would have scored you 63 points. Gordon Sumner, Alexander?- Sting.
0:26:36 > 0:26:40Sting is exactly right. Would have scored you 37. Do you know who Steveland Morris is?
0:26:40 > 0:26:45- No.- Steveland Morris was Stevie Wonder, which I didn't realise was a stage name.
0:26:45 > 0:26:50It would have scored you six, the best answer on the board. Very well done if you got it at home.
0:26:50 > 0:26:54Fantastic. Thanks, Richard. At the end of round two, the pair with the highest score,
0:26:54 > 0:26:56I'm afraid it's Heather and Leanne.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59Oh, dear! You now know, of course.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02You know exactly who Harry Webb... It's on the board!
0:27:02 > 0:27:05You remembered, presumably, just as Richard said?
0:27:05 > 0:27:08It came back to me, but too late.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11I'm really sorry. This was your second chance. This really is goodbye,
0:27:11 > 0:27:16I'm afraid. You have been fantastic contestants. Thanks very much for playing. Thank you.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20For the remaining players, things get more exciting now as we enter the head-to-head.
0:27:24 > 0:27:30We've already said goodbye to two teams. It's now time to find out which of our remaining two
0:27:30 > 0:27:35will be playing for today's jackpot, which stands currently at £1,250.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38APPLAUSE
0:27:38 > 0:27:41OK, you're now going head-to-head in the best of three questions.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43You're now allowed to confer.
0:27:43 > 0:27:47You have to come up with an answer that scores less than the other pair to win that question.
0:27:47 > 0:27:52The first pair to win two questions will be playing for today's jackpot. Let's play Pointless.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00Right, here's your first question. We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:28:00 > 0:28:06to name as many leaders of the Soviet Union as they could. Leaders of the Soviet Union, Richard.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08We're looking for any of the leaders of the Soviet Union.
0:28:08 > 0:28:13Anyone who ruled the Soviet Union by themselves, not as part of a troika.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16Any of the leaders of the Soviet Union. There are eight names on the list.
0:28:16 > 0:28:20We only need surnames, unless you want to show off.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23OK. Tom and Katy, because you're best throughout the show so far,
0:28:23 > 0:28:28you get to go first. We are looking for leaders of the Soviet Union.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30- I don't know any.- Gorbachev.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32Yeltsin.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35We have to go with Gorbachev. Yeah?
0:28:35 > 0:28:39Right, we're going to go for Mikhail Gorbachev.
0:28:39 > 0:28:43Gorbachev. Les and Catherine?
0:28:43 > 0:28:45Brezhnev.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48We have Gorbachev, we have Brezhnev.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50Let's take those in the order they were given.
0:28:50 > 0:28:54Gorbachev for Tom and Katy. Let's see how many people said that.
0:29:05 > 0:29:09Les and Catherine, you have gone for Brezhnev. Let's see if that beats Gorbachev.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11Brezhnev...
0:29:15 > 0:29:18Yes, it does. Down it goes.
0:29:18 > 0:29:24Brezhnev, the more obscure answer, wins Les and Catherine the first points. Richard.
0:29:24 > 0:29:29There are eight leaders. Let's take a look at all eight. There is one pointless answer.
0:29:29 > 0:29:331953, very briefly, Malenkov was Soviet leader.
0:29:33 > 0:29:37Chernenko - he's the guy fighting Reagan in Frankie Goes To Hollywood.
0:29:37 > 0:29:41- Frankie Goes To Hollywood, exactly. - That's his part in infamy. Wasn't leader for long.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43Yuri Andropov got nine points.
0:29:43 > 0:29:47Khrushchev only got 29 points. Would have been a good answer, beaten Brezhnev.
0:29:47 > 0:29:51There's Brezhnev. Lenin, of course, with 40. Stalin with 45.
0:29:51 > 0:29:56Gorbachev was actually the most popular answer of all with 48.
0:29:56 > 0:30:00OK, thanks very much, Richard. Tom and Katy, Les and Catherine are one point up.
0:30:00 > 0:30:04If they win this next point, they are straight through to the final.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06Just so you know. Here's your second question.
0:30:06 > 0:30:13We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many of Britain's favourite sitcoms as they could.
0:30:13 > 0:30:17Britain's favourite sitcoms. How do you decide?
0:30:17 > 0:30:24In 2004, the BBC carried out a poll. We're looking for any sitcom on the top ten of that list.
0:30:24 > 0:30:29OK. Nice obscure answers from that top ten, please.
0:30:29 > 0:30:32Les and Catherine, you get to go first.
0:30:35 > 0:30:40Erm, I think we're going to go with Only Fools And Horses.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42OK. Only Fools And Horses.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44A nice obscure sitcom there(!)
0:30:44 > 0:30:46LAUGHTER
0:30:46 > 0:30:49Tom and Katy?
0:30:49 > 0:30:51- There's so many to choose from. - Well, ten.
0:30:51 > 0:30:55But there's so many better ones not in the top ten as well.
0:30:55 > 0:30:59I don't know. Porridge or Dad's Army?
0:30:59 > 0:31:01Yes, it's got to be in the top ten, so it can't be too obscure.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03Porridge. Let's say Porridge.
0:31:03 > 0:31:05Let's go Porridge.
0:31:05 > 0:31:10You're going to go Porridge. OK, we have Only Fools And Horses, we have Porridge - two great sitcoms.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13Only Fools And Horses first. Let's see how many people said that.
0:31:17 > 0:31:19Down it goes.
0:31:19 > 0:31:2046.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23Are you happy with that, 46?
0:31:23 > 0:31:26- We'll see. - Hoping for a little bit lower maybe?
0:31:26 > 0:31:28Yeah. At least it's right.
0:31:28 > 0:31:31Exactly! 46 better than 100.
0:31:31 > 0:31:35Tom and Katy have gone for Porridge. Let's see how many people said Porridge.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39Well, it's right.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44Yeah, that wins.
0:31:44 > 0:31:48Only 24 people said Porridge.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51After the second question, you are one apiece. Richard.
0:31:51 > 0:31:56Those were actually the top two answers on the poll - the two most popular answers.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58What else do you reckon is in that top ten?
0:31:58 > 0:32:01- Well, Blackadder's going to be in there.- Blackadder is in there.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03- Fawlty Towers. - Fawlty Towers is there.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06- Any ideas, guys?- Dad's Army?
0:32:06 > 0:32:08- Dad's Army is in there.- The Office?
0:32:08 > 0:32:11The Office is not in there, and Absolutely Fabulous is not.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14- Really?- Shall we take a look at all ten?- Go on.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16Right at the bottom, Yes Minister with three.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18Blackadder with seven. The Vicar Of Dibley on ten.
0:32:18 > 0:32:23- Interesting.- The Good Life with 12, then Open All Hours with 14.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25One Foot In The Grave, 16.
0:32:25 > 0:32:29We've mentioned all those top four. Fawlty Towers got 22. Dad's Army 23.
0:32:29 > 0:32:32Porridge 24, and Only Fools And Horses 46.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35It's like a night in with UK Gold, isn't it?
0:32:35 > 0:32:36LAUGHTER
0:32:36 > 0:32:39OK, here is your third question.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42Whoever wins this point is through to the final. Simple as that.
0:32:42 > 0:32:46We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many
0:32:46 > 0:32:51national flags with a vertical tricolour as they could.
0:32:51 > 0:32:55- What about that?- We're looking for the flags of sovereign states
0:32:55 > 0:32:59which consist of three unbroken blocks of vertical colour.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01Anything with a crest on it or a badge doesn't count.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04Just three blocks of unbroken colour.
0:33:04 > 0:33:09Three blocks of unbroken colour vertically.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12Tom and Katy, you get to go first again.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17We're going to go with Ireland.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20You're going to go with Ireland.
0:33:20 > 0:33:27Whoever wins this point is through to the final and a chance to play for £1,250.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29Les and Catherine?
0:33:29 > 0:33:31We're going to go with Ivory Coast.
0:33:31 > 0:33:34You're going to go with Ivory Coast.
0:33:36 > 0:33:40Right. Ireland, Ivory Coast. That sounds like a very clever answer if it's right.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43- Are you sure that's right?- No!
0:33:43 > 0:33:45It's not countries beginning with I.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47LAUGHTER
0:33:47 > 0:33:51Just so you know. So we have Ireland first.
0:33:51 > 0:33:56Let's see if that's correct and if it is, let's see how many people said Ireland.
0:33:57 > 0:33:59That's a correct answer.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13Les and Catherine have said Ivory Coast.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15Let's see if Ivory Coast is right.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18If it is, I think it'll go a long way down,
0:34:18 > 0:34:21and it might be enough to see Catherine and Les through to the final.
0:34:23 > 0:34:25Let's see. Ivory Coast.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30It's right.
0:34:34 > 0:34:35Look at that!
0:34:40 > 0:34:42Fantastic answer.
0:34:42 > 0:34:47Ivory Coast wins you the points and sees you through to the final. 2-1. Richard, Ivory Coast.
0:34:47 > 0:34:51A brilliant answer. Those two flags are the absolute mirror images of each other.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54Ivory Coast goes orange, white, green and Ireland goes green, white orange.
0:34:54 > 0:34:58I don't know who copied who, and it's not my business, but let's get that sorted out.
0:34:58 > 0:35:02There were actually a couple of answers that would have beaten Ivory Coast.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04There's two pointless answers here.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07The two pointless answers are Guinea and Mali.
0:35:07 > 0:35:12Guinea went for a nice red, yellow, green and Mali thought, "let's think outside the box,"
0:35:12 > 0:35:14and went for green, yellow, red.
0:35:14 > 0:35:18Ivory Coast, Cote d'Ivoire, with one. Chad would have scored you one.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21Nigeria one, which is two blocks of green with white in the middle.
0:35:21 > 0:35:26Let's take a look at the bigger answers. Romania would have only scored you four. Belgium with 18.
0:35:26 > 0:35:32There's Ireland on 29. Italy getting 49, and France would have got the biggest score of all, 66.
0:35:32 > 0:35:36OK, so the losing pair at the end of the head-to-head, I'm afraid it's Tom and Katy.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39Bad luck, bad luck.
0:35:39 > 0:35:43Did you know any of those other vertically striped...?
0:35:43 > 0:35:45I knew the Europeans but not the Africans.
0:35:45 > 0:35:49Not the African ones. Those were the big, clever scorers, weren't they?
0:35:49 > 0:35:53Tom and Katy, well done getting this far. Only one pair can make it through,
0:35:53 > 0:35:57but we will see you again next time when I'm sure you'll go all the way.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00Thanks so much this afternoon, you've been fantastic.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03APPLAUSE
0:36:03 > 0:36:08Les and Catherine, it's now time for our Pointless final and the chance to win £1,250.
0:36:10 > 0:36:14So, congratulations, Les and Catherine. You've seen off all competition
0:36:14 > 0:36:17and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28But now you have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:36:28 > 0:36:32At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at an impressive £1,250.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36The rules for the final are very simple.
0:36:36 > 0:36:41To win the money, all you have to do is find a pointless answer that no-one else could think of.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43We've had one pointless answer today,
0:36:43 > 0:36:46you just have to find one more to go home with that £1,250.
0:36:46 > 0:36:50Firstly, you've got to choose a category from these three options.
0:36:50 > 0:36:51You can choose from...
0:36:57 > 0:36:59OK, I know nothing about opera.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02- I know nothing about darts. - I know nothing about darts.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07- OK, we'll go Oscar winners. - You're going Oscar winners.
0:37:09 > 0:37:17OK, let's find out what the question is. We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many
0:37:17 > 0:37:22British Best Actor Oscar winners as they could. Richard.
0:37:22 > 0:37:27We are looking for any British-born male actor who's won an Academy Award for Best Actor In A Leading Role
0:37:27 > 0:37:29since the very first ceremony in 1929.
0:37:29 > 0:37:33Special awards such as that won by Charlie Chaplin won't count.
0:37:33 > 0:37:37Any British-born male actor who's won Best Leading Actor.
0:37:37 > 0:37:41Thank you very much, Richard. You now have up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:41 > 0:37:46All you need to win that £1,250 is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48Your 60 seconds start now.
0:37:48 > 0:37:53- OK. We did go up over some lists but we don't know the British ones, do we?- Anthony Hopkins.
0:37:53 > 0:37:55Yeah, Anthony Hopkins.
0:37:59 > 0:38:00What about Jim Broadbent?
0:38:00 > 0:38:03Has he won an Oscar, do you think?
0:38:03 > 0:38:06I don't know.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08- I don't know.- 30 seconds.
0:38:12 > 0:38:15- He's American.- Yeah.- Erm...
0:38:18 > 0:38:21Ten seconds.
0:38:21 > 0:38:22Anybody back in the '50s?
0:38:22 > 0:38:26'50s, '50s, '50s. No, no.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30OK, your minute is up.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34- Three names.- OK.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36Anthony Hopkins.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38- Anthony Hopkins.- Jim Broadbent.
0:38:38 > 0:38:42Jim Broadbent.
0:38:42 > 0:38:43Struggling after that.
0:38:43 > 0:38:45That's all we've got.
0:38:45 > 0:38:51- Come up with a third, go on. Quickly.- Just in case he's British, he might not be. Jon Voight.
0:38:52 > 0:38:56Jon Voight, in case he's British.
0:38:56 > 0:38:58OK. Shall we put them up?
0:38:58 > 0:39:01Which one is your least confident answer?
0:39:01 > 0:39:04- All of them.- Jon Voight, in brackets, in case he's British.
0:39:04 > 0:39:06- Yeah.- Yeah. - OK, we'll put him up first.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09Then, who shall we put up after that?
0:39:09 > 0:39:10Jim Broadbent. Anthony Hopkins.
0:39:10 > 0:39:13Anthony Hopkins you think is your most confident answer.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16OK, we'll put them up on the board.
0:39:22 > 0:39:27There they are. We're looking for British Best Actor Oscar winners.
0:39:27 > 0:39:33This was your least confident answer. You only need one of these to be pointless to win that £1,250.
0:39:33 > 0:39:35Let's see if it's correct.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37- Do you think it's correct?- No.
0:39:37 > 0:39:41Let's see if it's correct. It might be. His mum might be from the Isle of Wight.
0:39:41 > 0:39:43LAUGHTER
0:39:43 > 0:39:46Or his father could be from Telford.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51Let's see how many people said Jon Voight.
0:39:57 > 0:40:00Sadly, not the Shropshire Voights.
0:40:01 > 0:40:06You only have two more chances to win today's jackpot. Only two more.
0:40:06 > 0:40:10We're now on to proper answers.
0:40:10 > 0:40:14We are looking for British Best Actor Oscar winners.
0:40:14 > 0:40:18Let's hope nobody said Jim Broadbent.
0:40:18 > 0:40:23If it's a correct answer. This has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot of £1,250.
0:40:23 > 0:40:27Let's see if it's correct and if it is, how many people said Jim Broadbent.
0:40:35 > 0:40:41Bad luck. Jim Broadbent not a correct answer, therefore not a pointless answer.
0:40:41 > 0:40:46But you didn't have that much faith in Jim Broadbent. It's the last one you knew was correct.
0:40:48 > 0:40:52Catherine, what would you spend the money on? £1,250.
0:40:52 > 0:40:57- The imaginary money would go on a holiday.- An imaginary holiday.
0:40:57 > 0:40:58Where would you go, Mars?
0:40:58 > 0:41:02Sorry! An imaginary holiday.
0:41:02 > 0:41:06- Where would you go?- I'm looking to go to Mauritius, so...
0:41:06 > 0:41:09Well, maybe Anthony Hopkins will send you out there.
0:41:09 > 0:41:14This is your final chance of winning today's jackpot of £1,250.
0:41:14 > 0:41:19We are looking for the British Best Actor Oscar nominee that no-one could think of.
0:41:19 > 0:41:24You thought this was your best shot at a pointless answer. It has to be if you're going to win the money.
0:41:24 > 0:41:29Let's see if Anthony Hopkins is correct and, if he is, let's see how many people said it.
0:41:29 > 0:41:33Anthony Hopkins, this for the jackpot of £1,250.
0:41:36 > 0:41:38Oh, it's right!
0:41:39 > 0:41:42It's right.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45This is your last and final chance to win that jackpot.
0:41:45 > 0:41:47Is Anthony Hopkins going to do it for you?
0:41:53 > 0:41:5411. Not a bad score though.
0:41:54 > 0:41:59Unfortunately you didn't manage to find that crucial pointless answer
0:41:59 > 0:42:01that you needed to win today's jackpot.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03That will roll over to the next show.
0:42:03 > 0:42:07You have been fantastic, and you do get to take home our wonderful Pointless trophy.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10APPLAUSE
0:42:10 > 0:42:13So, Richard, what were the answers they were looking for?
0:42:13 > 0:42:16There were seven pointless answers here.
0:42:16 > 0:42:18Some of the names are fairly familiar.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21Some people at home will have got one or two of these.
0:42:21 > 0:42:26The very first Brit to win an Oscar was George Arliss for Disraeli back in the '30s.
0:42:26 > 0:42:30But then Paul Scofield won for A Man For All Seasons, Peter Finch won for Network.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33A few names here you don't realise are British but are British-born.
0:42:33 > 0:42:36Ray Milland won for Lost Weekend.
0:42:36 > 0:42:41Rex Harrison won an Oscar, Ronald Colman, and the last name on the list,
0:42:41 > 0:42:44very, very well done if you got Victor McLaglen.
0:42:44 > 0:42:48- What did Victor McLaglen win his Oscar for, Richard? - He won it for The Informer in 1936.
0:42:48 > 0:42:55I recommend The Informer 2, with Mel Gibson in the Victor McLaglen role.
0:42:57 > 0:43:00Unfortunately we have to say goodbye to you, Les and Catherine.
0:43:00 > 0:43:03It's been great having you on the show. Thank you so much for playing. Thank you.
0:43:03 > 0:43:06APPLAUSE
0:43:06 > 0:43:08So, nobody's won our jackpot today,
0:43:08 > 0:43:13so it rolls over, which means on the next show we'll be playing for £2,250.
0:43:13 > 0:43:15- AUDIENCE:- Ooh!
0:43:15 > 0:43:17Ooh, indeed! Join us next time and see if someone can win it.
0:43:17 > 0:43:21- Goodbye from Richard...- Goodbye. - ..and it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
