0:00:20 > 0:00:23APPLAUSE
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Thank you very much. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong.
0:00:27 > 0:00:30This is Pointless, the quiz show where high scores count for nothing
0:00:30 > 0:00:32and obscurity counts for everything.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34Let's meet today's players.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37APPLAUSE
0:00:37 > 0:00:40So welcome, Sue and Paula. You're our first pair on the show.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42How do you know each other?
0:00:42 > 0:00:45We're from Sheffield and we're next-door neighbours.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48- Next-door neighbours from shiny Sheff.- Yes.- Excellent.
0:00:48 > 0:00:53- What do you do, Sue?- I'm a nurse. - Paula?- I'm a mum and housewife.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55Mum, housewife and exemplary neighbour, I hope.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58- Yes.- Nosy neighbour.- Nosy?
0:00:58 > 0:01:02- Better nosy than noisy.- Yeah. - A bit of both, really.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Noisy and nosy. Well, very best of luck to you this afternoon.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09And welcome to Jonathan and Monica. How do you two know each other?
0:01:09 > 0:01:12Hi, Alexander. I'm the son and that's my mother.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14- You're the son and that's your mother.- Yep.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18- Very good. A formidable quiz team. - Absolutely, always.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21Have you been a team for years?
0:01:21 > 0:01:26Pub quizzes around the country destroyed by the Jo-Mo team.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30- We always win the booby prize. - Really? What do you do, Jonathan?
0:01:30 > 0:01:33I'm a professional toastmaster and master of ceremonies.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36- Do you wear a Barnum-style... - Oh, absolutely, sir.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39Little bit disappointing you're not in one today, but there we are.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41Perhaps if you go through to the final,
0:01:41 > 0:01:44you could nip out and pop it on for us,
0:01:44 > 0:01:49- if you wouldn't mind.- And a gavel, as well.- No, no. That would be silly.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Very best of luck to you.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55Welcome back to Mike and Dave. You were on the show last time.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57You get two chances on Pointless.
0:01:57 > 0:01:58This is your second and final chance.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02Please do better than you did last time. We lost you after just the first round.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06- I didn't know my sharks.- To be fair, Dave, you did know your sharks,
0:02:06 > 0:02:09but there weren't any low-scorers left in the pool.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13I know. It was a very hard game. The points were very tight to start with,
0:02:13 > 0:02:17so all we had to do was go for a pointless in the second. It didn't pay off.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20This time round, I feel it might pay off for you. I hope it does.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23Tom and Katy, you were also on the show last time. Remind us how you did.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27We did quite well, but in the head-to-head, we got knocked out.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29- You did.- We didn't know our flags.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31You didn't know your flags with vertical stripes.
0:02:31 > 0:02:36We'll find out more about all of you throughout the show. There's one more person to introduce.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38He's the man who is a portal to the obscure.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42- He is my Pointless friend, it's Richard.- Hello.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44APPLAUSE
0:02:44 > 0:02:48Great to see Tom and Katy back. They were in the head-to-head last time,
0:02:48 > 0:02:52so obviously a very, very good pair, but also, I think Mike and Dave,
0:02:52 > 0:02:57I think they thought they'd go a little bit further last time. We might see a bit more of them.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59And I'll say to Jonathan and Monica,
0:02:59 > 0:03:03we've only ever had one mother and son combination on this series
0:03:03 > 0:03:06and they won the jackpot. So no pressure at all.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Lovely to hear, Jonathan, the first person to call you sir.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13- He called me sir?- Yeah. - A professional toast-maker.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17- It's nice. We should bring that in. It's like being in a game show in the '50s.- Mm.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19They should call you sir or Mr Armstrong.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23I think Jo-Mo will be going a long way.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26OK, we put all our questions to 100 people before the show.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30This is Pointless, so we're after the obscure answers they didn't get.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32To stay in the game with a chance to win our jackpot,
0:03:32 > 0:03:35our players need to score as few points as they can.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38What everyone's trying to do is find a pointless answer -
0:03:38 > 0:03:39an answer no-one gave.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Every time that happens, we will add 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46Nobody won the jackpot last time, so we add another £1,000 to that.
0:03:46 > 0:03:51So today's jackpot starts off at £2,250.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54APPLAUSE
0:03:54 > 0:03:56OK, let's play Pointless.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05So in the first round, each of you must give me one answer
0:04:05 > 0:04:07and you cannot confer with your partner.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11The team with the highest score at the end of the round is eliminated.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13If anyone gives me an incorrect answer,
0:04:13 > 0:04:16you will score the maximum of 100 points.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18OK, our first category is...
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Hollywood Stars.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37OK, let's find out what the first question is.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many
0:04:41 > 0:04:45George Clooney films as they could.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48We're looking for any feature film made for cinema release
0:04:48 > 0:04:51for which George Clooney received an acting credit.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54No short films, TV films or documentaries.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Voice performances do count.
0:04:56 > 0:05:01And we're looking for any film released up to May 2010.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Sue and Paula, you all drew lots before the show
0:05:03 > 0:05:06and today you get to start.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10- George Clooney films.- I'm trying to think of an obscure one and I can't.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14All I can think of is the really popular ones.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16So I'll have to go for...
0:05:17 > 0:05:19..Ocean's 13.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23Ocean's 13. I like what you've done there.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26You're hoping to score as few points as possible with Ocean's 13.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Let's see how many people said it.
0:05:28 > 0:05:29Ocean's 13.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32It's correct.
0:05:36 > 0:05:3927! That's not a terrible score, Sue.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Ocean's 13 scores you 27. Richard.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45Yeah, Ocean's 13, almost impossible to give you any facts on that film
0:05:45 > 0:05:47without giving away the names of other films
0:05:47 > 0:05:49which other people might want to use.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53So I will, for once, keep it zipped.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57- Monica.- Ocean's 12.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59THEY LAUGH
0:05:59 > 0:06:03- You... - HE LAUGHS
0:06:03 > 0:06:07Ocean's 12. Monica, your store of George Clooney films...
0:06:07 > 0:06:11- It's amazing.- Amazing.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14- But that's the one you're going to go for.- Yep.- Ocean's 12.
0:06:14 > 0:06:19You're hoping to score as few points as possible. Ocean's 13 scored 27.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23Let's see if Ocean's 12 scores any better than that. Ocean's 12.
0:06:25 > 0:06:26Well, it is right.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35Well, there you go, Monica. That scores you 38. Richard.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Yeah, again, difficult for me to say anything about that film
0:06:38 > 0:06:41without giving the name of another film away
0:06:41 > 0:06:43that people might want to use.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46- Did you call Jonathan and Monica Jo-Mo?- Yep.- That's good.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49We've got Tom-Kat, as well.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53- And the slightly less successful Mike-Dave.- MiDa.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56And Su-Pa.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58THEY LAUGH
0:06:58 > 0:07:02So, Dave, let's hope you know some other George Clooney films.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05Well, it's a bit of a tricky subject for me,
0:07:05 > 0:07:07but there is one that's jumping out at me
0:07:07 > 0:07:10and it's going back a bit, so I'm going to go with From Dusk Till Dawn.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Good answer! From Dusk Till Dawn.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15We're looking for a nice obscure George Clooney film,
0:07:15 > 0:07:18you're hoping to score as few points as possible.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22Let's see how many people got From Dusk Till Dawn.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Great answer, Dave! Well done!
0:07:33 > 0:07:35APPLAUSE
0:07:35 > 0:07:39- From Dusk Till Dawn scoring you three points.- Yeah, great answer,
0:07:39 > 0:07:43without an Ocean in sight. It was one of his earlier films,
0:07:43 > 0:07:47screenplay by Quentin Tarantino, who also played Clooney's brother in it.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51Good answer. So, Katy.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53You're wearing the face of somebody
0:07:53 > 0:07:56who maybe didn't have an answer readily to hand.
0:07:56 > 0:07:57No, I have about ten answers
0:07:57 > 0:08:00but I just don't know which one would be the right one.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03But I wondered if I could have one where it was his voice,
0:08:03 > 0:08:06so I'm going to go for Fantastic Mr Fox.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10Fantastic Mr Fox. You're hoping to score as few points as possible.
0:08:10 > 0:08:11George Clooney films.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14You're saying Fantastic Mr Fox. Let's see how many people said it.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18It's right.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Good answer.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28Three again! Fabulous answer, scores you three.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32- Richard.- Yeah, it's a great answer.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34George Clooney voices the Fantastic Mr Fox
0:08:34 > 0:08:36with Meryl Streep as his wife.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38- Have you seen it?- Yeah. - It's a wonderful film.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Let's look at the scores. We're halfway through the round.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Last two answers, fantastic.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46Lovely low scores there from Dave and Katy.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50Jonathan and Monica, you are ahead there.
0:08:50 > 0:08:5238 is your score.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Jonathan, you'll have to answer very carefully on the next pass.
0:08:55 > 0:09:00OK, can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:09:03 > 0:09:06So, Tom, we are looking for George Clooney films.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09I think I'm going to complete the set with Ocean's 11.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Oh, Tom!
0:09:11 > 0:09:13You are on 3.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Lovely low score there from Katy.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Brilliant answer, Fantastic Mr Fox.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Such good work, Katy. What's he doing?
0:09:20 > 0:09:24What's he doing? Do you never watch films together?
0:09:24 > 0:09:26- No.- Or do you just not remember who's in what?
0:09:26 > 0:09:28I don't remember who's in them, yeah.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30So you had no other option?
0:09:30 > 0:09:33I've got no other George Clooney films up there at all.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37OK, well, you're on three. You have to score 34 or less with this answer
0:09:37 > 0:09:42to avoid becoming the high scorers. Ocean's 13 started at 27,
0:09:42 > 0:09:46Ocean's 12, 38. I'm not sure it's going to do it for you.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49But there are three more pairs to answer.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53There's the red line. Let's see if Ocean's 11 gets you below it.
0:10:00 > 0:10:0444 that scores you, giving you a total of 47. Richard.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Yeah, Ocean's 11, released in 2001,
0:10:06 > 0:10:09where George Clooney plays Danny Ocean.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12Interestingly, there were two sequels to this film
0:10:12 > 0:10:18- called Ocean's 12 and Ocean's 13. - Interesting.- Yeah.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21OK, Mike, Dave did fantastically well.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23He scored three on From Dusk Till Dawn.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27How good is your George Clooney catalogue?
0:10:27 > 0:10:32I'm not a fan of George Clooney at all, so it is a complete guess.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34The only recent one I can think of,
0:10:34 > 0:10:37I'm sure he's been in a war film at some time,
0:10:37 > 0:10:40- so I'll say Inglorious- BLEEP. - OK, you are on three.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44You want to score 43 or less with this.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48It has to be a correct answer. It has to come below this red line.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51If it does, you are through to the next round.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Please, we can't say goodbye again after the first round.
0:10:54 > 0:10:58Let's see if it's right, and if it is, how many people said it.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer. That scores you 100 points.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07However, only leaving you with 103. It's not out of the question
0:11:07 > 0:11:09that you might still be with us. Richard.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12That film was also written by Quentin Tarantino,
0:11:12 > 0:11:14but George Clooney was not in it.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17It shows the thin line between success and failure on this show.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20You know? It's important, in this round especially,
0:11:20 > 0:11:23to have a film with George Clooney in it.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26That's what you're really looking for.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Yeah, well, thanks for saying it now!
0:11:28 > 0:11:31Just two answers left to go. Jonathan.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33My brain of useless information
0:11:33 > 0:11:36is not very good when it comes to George Clooney, I have to say.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40- But I will go for ER.- OK.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44Will ER see Jo-Mo through to Round Two?
0:11:44 > 0:11:49Only one way to find out if you are going to come below the red line.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53You need 64 people or fewer to have said ER,
0:11:53 > 0:11:55and it has to be a correct answer. ER.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04Terrible news for you, great news for Mike and Dave.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06ER, I'm afraid, is an incorrect answer
0:12:06 > 0:12:08and scores you the maximum of 100 points.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11I'm afraid you leave us at the end of this round. Richard.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15There was a look of quiet delight on Mike and Dave's face
0:12:15 > 0:12:16when he said ER.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18He was obviously in ER, but it was just a TV series,
0:12:18 > 0:12:20there was never a movie of it.
0:12:20 > 0:12:21Bad luck. So, Paula and Sue,
0:12:21 > 0:12:25you are definitely through to the next round. You're on 27.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Even if you score 100, you're still through.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32- Try and get a pointless answer. - I'm so relieved. I'd only got two.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34I was sure someone would say Batman,
0:12:34 > 0:12:38but I'm going to go for the one that I think is less well-known.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40So I'm going to say One Fine Day.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43One Fine Day.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45Could be a great answer. No red line.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Whatever you score, you're through to the next round.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Maybe it's a pointless answer to add £250 to the jackpot.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52One Fine Day.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59Ooh, it's good, Paula.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05Very good indeed! Scores you six. Gives you a total of 33.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09One Fine Day, Richard.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13Our first correct answer this round that doesn't have Oceans in it.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Is that right? No, we've had a couple of others.
0:13:15 > 0:13:16One Fine Day, romantic comedy
0:13:16 > 0:13:19with Michelle Pfeiffer and George Clooney.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21There were a whole bunch of pointless answers.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23We'll take you through a few.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27These would've saved you. Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind,
0:13:27 > 0:13:29about a charismatic game show host
0:13:29 > 0:13:32who's also a secret government assassin.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35- THEY LAUGH - As if(!)
0:13:38 > 0:13:41South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43The Thin Red Line, the war movie George Clooney was in,
0:13:43 > 0:13:45that was a pointless answer.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Welcome To Collinwood, Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over,
0:13:48 > 0:13:51and Return Of The Killer Tomatoes, as well.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54- Have you seen it?- I saw The Killer Tomatoes and I thought,
0:13:54 > 0:13:56"I don't want to see them returning
0:13:56 > 0:14:00"any time soon!" Absolutely terrifying.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02There's a couple more here.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05Well done at home if you got Unbecoming Age,
0:14:05 > 0:14:08Red Surf and Return To Horror High.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Ordinarily, we'd look at the most popular answers,
0:14:10 > 0:14:14the answers that most people gave, but we've already had them,
0:14:14 > 0:14:18because they were, in order, Ocean's 13, Ocean's 12 and Ocean's 11.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22Thank you very much, Richard. So, at the end of Round One,
0:14:22 > 0:14:27the losing pair with the highest score, Jo-Mo.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29- Gay-Mo-Ver. - THEY LAUGH
0:14:29 > 0:14:33- Bad luck. 138. Monica.- Yes.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35You just didn't know, did you?
0:14:35 > 0:14:37The pair of you, in fact. George Clooney...
0:14:37 > 0:14:40Really, to be honest, it's not my finest hour
0:14:40 > 0:14:41when I talk about George Clooney.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44Oh, dear. Monica, did you just know none at all?
0:14:44 > 0:14:46You just had to go for Ocean's 12?
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Yeah, I just didn't know any.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51It was a gutsy answer and a correct. Nothing wrong with that.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54It's a great shame to be saying goodbye to you so early on.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57You'll be back next time. Everyone gets two shots at Pointless.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59I'm sure you will go further then.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03But thanks so much for playing. Great contestants.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06The remaining three teams go to Round Two.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14Now, obviously, there's only room for two pairs in the head-to-head
0:15:14 > 0:15:18so one team is going to be leaving us at the end of this round.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20The category for Round Two is...
0:15:23 > 0:15:26US Geography.
0:15:26 > 0:15:27Tom's smiling broadly.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29Decide who will go first and who will go second.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35Will those going first please step up to the podium?
0:15:38 > 0:15:40OK, so the question is...
0:15:44 > 0:15:49In this round, we're going to show you a list of US state nicknames.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:15:51 > 0:15:54to tell us which states those nicknames belonged to. Richard.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56It could be carnage, this one, I suspect.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59We're going to give you six nicknames in each pass.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01All you've got to tell us is the state.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04The more obscure ones will score you fewest points.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08If you give us an incorrect answer at any time, that will score you 100 points.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11See if you can get all six on both passes at home.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13Carnage, he said, Sue.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16Right, the first six are...
0:16:27 > 0:16:29I'll go through that again.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40OK, we are looking for the states that these nicknames belong to.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43Sue.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46Do any of those mean anything to you at all?
0:16:46 > 0:16:50- Not a thing, no. - This is going to be fun, isn't it?
0:16:50 > 0:16:52- SHE LAUGHS - Have you been to the States?
0:16:52 > 0:16:54I've been to New York.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58- Can I get me coat? - LAUGHTER
0:16:58 > 0:16:59Er...
0:16:59 > 0:17:03It is just going to be a guess,
0:17:03 > 0:17:06and I'll say...Virginia,
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Bluegrass State.
0:17:08 > 0:17:13Let's see if that is the correct answer. Virginia, Bluegrass State.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16Might be. If it is, let's see how many people knew the answer.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Virginia, Bluegrass State.
0:17:21 > 0:17:25Bad luck. We're going to be seeing that cross a lot, I think.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28That scores you 100 points, I'm afraid. Richard.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Yeah, not Virginia, I'm afraid. I'll not say what it is
0:17:30 > 0:17:33in case the others want to have a go at it.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35OK, thanks very much, Richard.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39- Mike, have you been to the States? - Only a couple of times,
0:17:39 > 0:17:42but I haven't travelled a lot throughout the States.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46Do any of these names behind me mean anything to you?
0:17:46 > 0:17:50I'm sure of one and I've got a good idea on the other two,
0:17:50 > 0:17:55but my risk-taking hasn't paid off, really, so...
0:17:55 > 0:17:57It hasn't paid off YET.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00So I should probably go for the obvious one,
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Aloha State, Hawaii.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05Aloha State, Hawaii. That sounds right to me.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08Let's see if it's correct and how many people knew it.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10Aloha, Hawaii.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13It's right.
0:18:14 > 0:18:1748. Not a terrible score.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19That scores you 48.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23Better safe than sorry.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26Occasionally known as the Pineapple State, Hawaii.
0:18:26 > 0:18:27More commonly Aloha State.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30Of course, cos that's on the Hawaiian pizza.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32That'll probably be why.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34- Yeah. - They named it after the Hawaiian...
0:18:34 > 0:18:37They saw pineapple on a Hawaiian pizza
0:18:37 > 0:18:39and thought, "We'll have some of that".
0:18:39 > 0:18:44- They were also going to call themselves the Shirt State after Hawaiian shirts.- I can see why.
0:18:44 > 0:18:49- They didn't, though.- No, no. - OK. Thanks, Richard.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53Tom, we are looking for the states these nicknames belong to.
0:18:53 > 0:18:57One, two, three, four, five left for you to choose from.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59You're the last person to have this board,
0:18:59 > 0:19:01so talk us through your reasoning.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05Well, the only two I knew were the Aloha State as Hawaii
0:19:05 > 0:19:09and Golden State, so I'm not even going to bother gambling,
0:19:09 > 0:19:12- and say California is the Golden State.- What do you do, Tom?
0:19:12 > 0:19:17I run my own book company and I run a storage facility, as well.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20- Where you store all your books. - Where I store all my books, yes.
0:19:20 > 0:19:25- What sort of books are they? - Absolutely anything.- Any book?
0:19:25 > 0:19:26Ever read any of them?
0:19:26 > 0:19:28Yeah, some of them. Some of the more interesting ones.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32- None of them about states and their nicknames.- No.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35How many books have you got in your storage facility?
0:19:35 > 0:19:38- About 30,000.- Wow!
0:19:38 > 0:19:41Give me your address and I'll come and browse.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44Won't buy anything, of course. I just like leafing through them.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47Golden State, California, let's see if it's correct
0:19:47 > 0:19:49and how many people said it.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00A good answer! 16.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04APPLAUSE
0:20:04 > 0:20:06- Richard.- Yeah, a good low score.
0:20:06 > 0:20:10The Golden State, California, used to be called the Gold State.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14Let's look at the rest. Let's clear up Bluegrass. It's Kentucky.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Named after a type of grass there,
0:20:17 > 0:20:20and the music that was named after it, so it's the Bluegrass State.
0:20:20 > 0:20:21Would've scored you 14.
0:20:21 > 0:20:27The Great Lake State. Alexander, the Great Lake State is?
0:20:27 > 0:20:32- Michigan.- It is Michigan, yeah. Would've scored you 13 points.
0:20:32 > 0:20:33The Garden State?
0:20:33 > 0:20:37- New Jersey.- New Jersey. Would've scored you four points.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39The Beehive State is a pointless answer,
0:20:39 > 0:20:42so if you know the answer, well done. Beehive State?
0:20:42 > 0:20:45- Utah.- It is Utah, yes!
0:20:45 > 0:20:47Hey! What about that?
0:20:47 > 0:20:50APPLAUSE
0:20:50 > 0:20:53That's good state nickname knowledge.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56State nickname knowledge is kind of my thing.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59- Do you know what they have on the flag of Utah?- Is it a hive?
0:20:59 > 0:21:01It is a beehive, yes.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04- Is there nothing he doesn't know? - LAUGHTER
0:21:04 > 0:21:08Halfway through the round, let's look at the scores as they stand.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Quite a wide-ranging scoreboard.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14All the way up from 16, Tom and Katy. Fantastic answer from Tom.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18- Hasn't he done well, Katy? - Very well. Very proud.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22Very good indeed. All the way up to Sue and Paula on 100. Bad luck.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25Paula, pressure on you. Team Su-Pa.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27I'd like to see them in the head-to-head.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31You'll have to score as low as you can.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34Second players, please take your places at the podium.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40OK, we're going to put six more US state nicknames on the board.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42And we have got for you...
0:21:48 > 0:21:50I'll read those again.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59We are looking for the states that these nicknames belong to
0:21:59 > 0:22:01and you are trying to find the one that the fewest
0:22:01 > 0:22:03of our 100 people knew. Right.
0:22:03 > 0:22:09- Katy.- Erm, I'm going to say Texas, Lone Star State.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12You're on 16, you want to score 83 or less
0:22:12 > 0:22:15to be sure of a place in the head-to-head once again.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18Here's your red line coming in. Lone Star State, Texas.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21If it's below the line, you're in the head-to-head.
0:22:21 > 0:22:22Let's see if it's right,
0:22:22 > 0:22:26and if so, how many people said it. Lone Star, Texas.
0:22:27 > 0:22:28Perfect.
0:22:30 > 0:22:3343. Not a bad answer at all.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Taking your score up to 59.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40Yeah, very good answer and safely through to the next round.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44Named after the Republic of Texas flag they had in the 1830s.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47- Do you know what that had on it? - It had a single star.
0:22:47 > 0:22:51A lone star. Is there nothing about state flags you don't know?
0:22:52 > 0:22:55- No.- I'll catch you out one of these days, Armstrong.
0:22:55 > 0:22:59Oh, just you try, Mr Osman.
0:22:59 > 0:23:00- Dave. - DAVE SIGHS
0:23:00 > 0:23:04Oh, Dave, come on! You've always scored so low!
0:23:04 > 0:23:06- You've never scored high!- I knew two
0:23:06 > 0:23:10but they were in the last round. I don't know any in this round.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13- So...- You're on 48.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16I'm just going to go for it, and I have no idea even if this is a state,
0:23:16 > 0:23:20but I'm going to try and I'm going to go for the Grand Canyon State.
0:23:20 > 0:23:21Mike's going to kill me.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Arizona.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27- That doesn't look like the face of a killer.- It could well be.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29A very conciliatory face from Mike.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32I think he approves of Arizona, Grand Canyon State.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35You're on 48. You want to score 51 or less
0:23:36 > 0:23:40You want it to be right, obviously. There's your red line.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42Arizona, Grand Canyon State.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45Let's see if it's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Arizona, Grand Canyon State.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Oh, it's right!
0:23:53 > 0:23:55And it gets you through.
0:23:56 > 0:24:01Very good answer indeed! That scores you 16, takes your total up to 64.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04APPLAUSE
0:24:04 > 0:24:08Very good. Do you know why Arizona is called the Grand Canyon State?
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Erm...no.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13It's cos the Grand Canyon is in it.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15- THEY LAUGH - I knew I'd get you.
0:24:15 > 0:24:20- Ohh!- They get harder, you see? The questions get harder.
0:24:20 > 0:24:25Ooh, they do! Well, now then, Paula and Sue, the writing is on...
0:24:25 > 0:24:27the console in front of you.
0:24:27 > 0:24:28And on the wall.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32I'm afraid you are leaving us at the end of this round, come what may.
0:24:32 > 0:24:37However, as a nice bequest to the remaining pairs,
0:24:37 > 0:24:39why not see if you can find a pointless answer
0:24:39 > 0:24:41that would add 250 quid to the jackpot?
0:24:41 > 0:24:45Well, there's only one there that I assume I know.
0:24:45 > 0:24:49Just to try and put £250 in the pot, I'll have a stab.
0:24:49 > 0:24:54I will say the Peach State and I'll guess Georgia.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57The Peach State, Georgia. Mike.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00- Just to tell you... - He's not nodding?- He's nodding.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03- I think it's right.- Mike is nodding.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06And Dave gave a little inclination of the head there.
0:25:06 > 0:25:10- The Peach State, Georgia. Was that a complete guess?- I'm just going on,
0:25:10 > 0:25:12it's near Florida, the Orange State,
0:25:12 > 0:25:16- so I thought Georgia might be the Peach State.- The whole fruit bowl
0:25:16 > 0:25:21arranged around the Gulf of Mexico. Fantastic. Yes, the Grape State.
0:25:21 > 0:25:26The Peach State, Georgia, you are saying. Let's see if it's correct.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29And if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31It's right!
0:25:32 > 0:25:35You're going out in a blaze of glory here.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39Oh, wonderful answer, Paula!
0:25:40 > 0:25:42Brilliant answer! Scores you only 3.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45Sadly, it's not enough to save your bacon.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49- Peach State.- Yeah, Peach State, absolutely right, it's Georgia.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51The best answer anyone gave on either pass,
0:25:51 > 0:25:53so very unfortunate to be going out.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56Let's take a look at the rest of them there.
0:25:56 > 0:26:00- The Empire State, do you know that? - It is, of course, New York.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03New York, exactly right. Would've scored you 55.
0:26:03 > 0:26:09Named after the song, "Empire State Of Mind" by Jay-Z and Alicia Keys.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12That's where they got that name from. The Last Frontier?
0:26:12 > 0:26:15I'll give you a clue, it's sort of cowboy country.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18It's quite cold cowboy country if it's the place I'm thinking of.
0:26:18 > 0:26:19- Is it Alaska?- It is Alaska.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22- And Show Me State is a pointless answer.- It's Missouri.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24It is Missouri, exactly right.
0:26:24 > 0:26:25Why is it Show Me?
0:26:25 > 0:26:29There was a congressman who objected to lots of long-winded speeches
0:26:29 > 0:26:32in congress, supposedly, and said,
0:26:32 > 0:26:34"Sir, I'm from Missouri, you have to show me."
0:26:34 > 0:26:39- Don't tell me, show me.- That was essentially the point he was making.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43Missouri is the Show Me State. Very well done if you got that at home.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Thanks, Richard. At the end of Round Two,
0:26:45 > 0:26:48the losing pair with the highest score, I'm afraid, Su-Pa.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51103. What a brilliant answer from you, Paula.
0:26:51 > 0:26:56I don't know where that came from. My logic didn't even make much sense.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58It made perfect sense to me.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01I was thinking Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.
0:27:01 > 0:27:05Blue. But, of course, you'll be back next time.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07Everyone gets two shots at Pointless.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09Fantastic contestants. Thank you.
0:27:09 > 0:27:10APPLAUSE
0:27:10 > 0:27:14Things are about to get more exciting as we enter the head-to-head.
0:27:19 > 0:27:24So, well done, Tom, Katy, Mike and Dave. You've made it through to the head-to-head.
0:27:24 > 0:27:32Obviously, only one pair can go through to today's final and play for the jackpot of £2,250.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35APPLAUSE
0:27:35 > 0:27:38OK, you're going head-to-head on the best of three questions.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42You are now allowed to confer. All you have to do is come up with one answer between you
0:27:42 > 0:27:45that scores less than the other pair to win that question.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48First pair to win two will play for the jackpot.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51- Let's play Pointless! - APPLAUSE
0:27:53 > 0:27:55Right, here's your first question.
0:27:55 > 0:27:59We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name...
0:27:59 > 0:28:04as many lobes of the brain as they could.
0:28:04 > 0:28:08- Lobes of the brain, Richard. - Yeah, we're simply looking for any part of the brain
0:28:08 > 0:28:11which can be followed by the word "lobe."
0:28:11 > 0:28:13It's not exactly brain surgery, this one.
0:28:13 > 0:28:18OK, Tom and Katy, because you have played best throughout the show so far, you get to go first.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21We are looking for lobes of the brain.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23Sounds like a novel by Tolkien.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26Lobes Of The Brain. No, it doesn't.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29LAUGHTER
0:28:31 > 0:28:34- Don't know.- OK, I'm not sure on the pronunciation,
0:28:34 > 0:28:36but I think it's the occipital lobe.
0:28:36 > 0:28:40The occipital lobe! Look at you!
0:28:40 > 0:28:46- I don't know. I didn't say that. - No, that sounds like a lobe to me!
0:28:47 > 0:28:51Yes. We can't think of anything.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54I can only think of earlobe.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57- And unless it, sort of... - It's close to the brain.
0:28:57 > 0:29:00The only other thing... We can't come up with a lobe
0:29:00 > 0:29:05so we're just going to go for part of the brain and hope that it's got a lobe.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07So we're going to go for the hippocampus lobe.
0:29:07 > 0:29:12The hippocampus. Good logic. Good thinking.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15We have occipital and we have hippocampus.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17Let's take them in the order they were given.
0:29:17 > 0:29:19Tom and Katy said occipital.
0:29:19 > 0:29:22Let's see how many people said that and if it's correct.
0:29:24 > 0:29:26It's correct.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28Occipital.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30Down it goes.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34Oh, brilliant answer! Eight points!
0:29:34 > 0:29:37Only eight people said occipital.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40Mike and Dave said hippocampus.
0:29:40 > 0:29:44Let's see if that's correct and, if it is, how many people said it.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50Ahh!
0:29:50 > 0:29:53Hippocampus doesn't get a lobe, sadly.
0:29:53 > 0:29:56So after the first question, it's one point to Tom and Katy.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59- Richard.- Yeah, hippocampus is part of the brain,
0:29:59 > 0:30:02and where hippos go to university, but it's not a lobe.
0:30:02 > 0:30:04There are four lobes in the brain.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07Well done if you got all four of these. Let's look.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10Occipital could have been beaten by parietal.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12The parietal lobe would have got you 6 points.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15There's occipital with 8, temporal with 12
0:30:15 > 0:30:19and the frontal lobe would have scored you 53 points.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22Thanks, Richard. Here is your second question.
0:30:22 > 0:30:27Tom and Katy, you win this point, you are through to the final
0:30:27 > 0:30:29and a chance to play for £2,250.
0:30:29 > 0:30:33Mike and Dave, you have to win this point to stay in the game.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36Here it is. We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name
0:30:36 > 0:30:41as many characters from Gavin and Stacey as they could.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44Characters from Gavin and Stacey. Richard.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46We're looking for any credited character
0:30:46 > 0:30:50who's appeared in all 20 episodes of Gavin and Stacey.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53For obviously reasons, we won't accept either Gavin or Stacey.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56There are six other characters.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59Six other characters. Mike and Dave, you get to go first this time.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09Right, we're going to go for Gwen.
0:31:09 > 0:31:13- Gwen.- Yeah.- Mike and Dave have Gwen.
0:31:13 > 0:31:17Tom and Katy. You can talk us through your answer.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20- Reason it through.- I think it's Welsh, so I'm trying to think of
0:31:20 > 0:31:23Welsh names that might be in it, because I've never seen it.
0:31:23 > 0:31:27- Never seen it?- No. Although I know who's in it, their real names,
0:31:27 > 0:31:29I don't know what their character names are,
0:31:29 > 0:31:32so I'm going with David or something, a Welsh name.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35- I don't know! - Tom, you ever watched it?
0:31:35 > 0:31:38I've never watched it. I can think of who's in it
0:31:38 > 0:31:41You could do a lot worse than getting the box set.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44It's a thoroughly enjoyable programme.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46- What do you want to go with?- I...
0:31:46 > 0:31:49- I don't know.- I want to say Richard. Don't know why.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52I've just got a feeling. I've got a feeling maybe there's a Richard.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55Oh, yeah, go on, Richard. I don't know.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58We'll see if Richard is going to do it for you.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01Wouldn't it be amazing if Richard scores pointless?
0:32:01 > 0:32:04Amazing and unlikely.
0:32:04 > 0:32:09However, let's see how Gwen does for Mike and Dave. Gwen.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11This to keep you in the game.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15It's correct.
0:32:20 > 0:32:21Great answer, 13.
0:32:25 > 0:32:29Tom and Katy are going with Richard.
0:32:29 > 0:32:32Let's see if it's a correct answer
0:32:32 > 0:32:36and, if it is, if anyone remembered it. Richard.
0:32:39 > 0:32:43Ahh. Bad luck. So hard with a TV show.
0:32:43 > 0:32:45You either watch it or you don't.
0:32:45 > 0:32:49So after our second question, that is one apiece. Richard.
0:32:49 > 0:32:54- Yes, Richard. Quite. - Maybe that's why I said Richard.
0:32:54 > 0:32:58- It's a good wrong...- Is that why it came into your head? I don't know!
0:32:58 > 0:33:01- Richard's a really good wrong answer.- It's a great answer.
0:33:01 > 0:33:03Was your second choice going to be Alexander?
0:33:03 > 0:33:05SHE LAUGHS
0:33:05 > 0:33:07Then Tom. Is it Mike? Dave?
0:33:07 > 0:33:11Let's take a look. There were two answers which would've beaten Gwen
0:33:11 > 0:33:14and those are both Gavin's parents. Let's take a look.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17Mick, played by Larry Lamb, scored 5 points.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20Pam, played by Alison Steadman, that's 10.
0:33:20 > 0:33:21There's Gwen. Bryn, of course,
0:33:21 > 0:33:24played by the wonderful Rob Brydon, would've scored you 18.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26Right at the top, the characters
0:33:26 > 0:33:29played by James Corden and Ruth Jones, the writers,
0:33:29 > 0:33:32Smithy with 23 and Nessa with 30.
0:33:32 > 0:33:37Thank you very much. So, you are one point each at this stage.
0:33:37 > 0:33:43Whoever wins this question is through to the final to play for the jackpot. Here's your third question.
0:33:43 > 0:33:51We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many Olympic throwing events as they could. Richard.
0:33:51 > 0:33:55Any athletic disciplines in the summer Olympic games that involve throwing.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58No multi-discipline events, like the decathlon.
0:33:58 > 0:34:01Just the athletic events that involve throwing.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03Athletic events that involve throwing.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06OK. Tom and Katy, it's your turn to go first.
0:34:12 > 0:34:17- OK, we're going to go for the hammer. - You're going to go for the hammer.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21OK, Mike and Dave, you can talk out loud now if you like.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24Right, we know there's the discus,
0:34:24 > 0:34:28we know there's the shot put, we know there's the javelin,
0:34:28 > 0:34:31it's just a case of which one we think is...
0:34:31 > 0:34:35We would probably have gone for the hammer, as well, out of the choice.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37Maybe discus? We're going to go for discus.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40Hammer, discus.
0:34:40 > 0:34:45Whoever wins this, obviously, is through to the final. This is the decider.
0:34:45 > 0:34:49Right, Tom and Katy went first. Hammer.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52Let's see how many people said hammer.
0:34:52 > 0:34:53It is correct.
0:34:58 > 0:34:5956.
0:35:03 > 0:35:06- Bit surprised by that. - I thought it would be lower, yeah.
0:35:06 > 0:35:10- You've had a hammer horror. - LAUGHTER
0:35:10 > 0:35:15Mike and Dave. Discus. Higher or lower than hammer?
0:35:15 > 0:35:17I think it's going to be higher, actually.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20I would have said hammer would be the least.
0:35:20 > 0:35:24So I think discus is probably going to be a bit higher.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27Only one way to find out. How many people said discus?
0:35:32 > 0:35:36- I thought it would be. Well done. - APPLAUSE
0:35:36 > 0:35:3982. So hammer wins it.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42After the third question, it is 2-1 to Tom and Katy.
0:35:42 > 0:35:43They are through to the final.
0:35:43 > 0:35:47- Richard.- Yeah, hammer is the best answer you could've given.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50Let's take a look at all four. They all scored a huge amount.
0:35:50 > 0:35:54Hammer with 56 there, shot put with 69,
0:35:54 > 0:35:56the discus with 82, and then javelin,
0:35:56 > 0:36:00one of the highest scores we've ever had, 98 points.
0:36:00 > 0:36:05So, the losing pair at the end of the head-to-head, I'm afraid, is Mike and Dave.
0:36:05 > 0:36:09Gavin and Stacey really helped you out there. Tom and Katy haven't seen it.
0:36:09 > 0:36:13Bad luck, Mike and Dave. I'm really sorry. You've been lovely contestants.
0:36:13 > 0:36:19This is where we finally say goodbye to you. But well done and thanks so much for playing.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21APPLAUSE
0:36:21 > 0:36:26But for Tom and Katy, it's now time for our Pointless final and the chance to win £2,250.
0:36:31 > 0:36:37Congratulations. You fought off all the competition and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:36:45 > 0:36:51At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands, in case you'd forgotten, at £2,250.
0:36:53 > 0:36:58The rules are very simple. To win that money, you have to find a pointless answer
0:36:58 > 0:36:59that no-one else can think of.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01We haven't had any pointless answers today.
0:37:01 > 0:37:05You need to find one now to go home with all that money.
0:37:05 > 0:37:09First you have to choose a category. Here are your three options.
0:37:16 > 0:37:21- TV presenters.- TV presenters. - Yeah, it's going to have to be.
0:37:21 > 0:37:24- Strange job. - LAUGHTER
0:37:24 > 0:37:26OK, let's find out what the question is.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:37:29 > 0:37:34to name as many Top Gear presenters as they could.
0:37:34 > 0:37:37- Richard.- You may be thinking there's only three,
0:37:37 > 0:37:40but we're looking for any presenter who's ever been credited on Top Gear
0:37:40 > 0:37:45from the start of the show in 1978, all the way through to 2010.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47There are 37 names on the list.
0:37:47 > 0:37:51OK, you now have up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:51 > 0:37:57All you need to win £2,250 is for just one of those to be pointless. Your 60 seconds start now.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00- Vicki Butler-Henderson?- OK.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02- You can talk out loud. - Do you know her?
0:38:02 > 0:38:05I only know the three that are on at the moment.
0:38:05 > 0:38:08- They're probably going to be quite high.- They are indeed.
0:38:08 > 0:38:12Can you not think of anyone from the '80s?
0:38:12 > 0:38:16- You're older than me, come on. - I can't, no.
0:38:16 > 0:38:20- Well, I've only got that one, so... - OK, then we're going to have to go...
0:38:20 > 0:38:24- We can't take a risk on that one. Let's have another one. - 30 seconds left.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29Did the guy who did the motorcycles around the world...?
0:38:31 > 0:38:35- Who's he? With Ewan McGregor? - Yeah, who was the other one?
0:38:35 > 0:38:40- Charlie Boardman.- Did he do it? - OK, that's your minute up.- OK.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42- Your minute is up.- OK.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45We're going to say Vicki Butler-Henderson.
0:38:45 > 0:38:47Vicki Butler-Henderson.
0:38:47 > 0:38:51- Charlie Boardman.- Charlie Boardman and Jeremy Clarkson.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54OK, Vicki Butler-Henderson,
0:38:54 > 0:38:56Charlie Boardman and Jeremy Clarkson.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59And only one we know is right, so let's just see.
0:38:59 > 0:39:03OK, which of those do you think is your best bet at a pointless answer?
0:39:03 > 0:39:04Vicki Butler-Henderson.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07I know she presents the car show on another channel,
0:39:07 > 0:39:09but I'm sure she did Top Gear.
0:39:09 > 0:39:10- We'll put her last.- I'm hoping.
0:39:10 > 0:39:13Who do you think is your least likely answer?
0:39:13 > 0:39:15BOTH: Charlie Boardman.
0:39:15 > 0:39:16OK, Charlie Boardman.
0:39:16 > 0:39:20He's just ridden a motorcycle so you thought we could name him.
0:39:20 > 0:39:24We'll discover. Charlie Boardman will go up first on our board.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26Charlie Boardman.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28Jeremy Clarkson.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30Vicki Butler-Henderson.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32There they are up on the board.
0:39:32 > 0:39:35We were looking for Top Gear presenters.
0:39:35 > 0:39:41OK, this was your least confident answer. You only need one of these to be pointless to win £2,250.
0:39:41 > 0:39:44- What would you spend that on? - Spending money on our honeymoon.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46We go in a few weeks.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49Right, OK. We're going to go with your first answer, Charlie Boardman.
0:39:49 > 0:39:53Let's see if he's a correct person.
0:39:53 > 0:39:56If he is, let's see how many people said Charlie Boardman.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03Ohh.
0:40:03 > 0:40:08Unfortunately, Charlie Boardman is not a correct answer, so it's not a pointless answer.
0:40:08 > 0:40:15Two more chances to win today's jackpot. Your second answer was Jeremy Clarkson.
0:40:15 > 0:40:18We were looking for obscure Top Gear presenters.
0:40:18 > 0:40:26Let's see if he's a correct answer, and if he is, how many people said him. Jeremy Clarkson for £2,250.
0:40:30 > 0:40:32- LAUGHTER - Ooh, close.
0:40:32 > 0:40:37Sadly, Jeremy Clarkson is not a pointless answer.
0:40:37 > 0:40:4086. That's quite high.
0:40:40 > 0:40:45Only one final chance to win the jackpot. We're looking for Top Gear presenters.
0:40:45 > 0:40:49This was the first name you said. When I heard you say this, I thought, "Wow, they'll know loads."
0:40:49 > 0:40:54- Really?- Then you spent the rest of the minute saying nothing.
0:40:54 > 0:40:56THEY LAUGH
0:40:56 > 0:40:59Apart from making up someone called Charlie Boardman.
0:40:59 > 0:41:01LAUGHTER
0:41:01 > 0:41:04This was the answer you were most confident in.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06Vicki Butler-Henderson.
0:41:06 > 0:41:12Is she correct, and if she is, how many people said her? This for the jackpot of £2,250.
0:41:12 > 0:41:14Vicki Butler-Henderson.
0:41:16 > 0:41:18It's right!
0:41:20 > 0:41:22It is correct. Look at that.
0:41:24 > 0:41:27This could be buying you drinks on your honeymoon.
0:41:27 > 0:41:28Ohh.
0:41:28 > 0:41:30BOTH: Ohh!
0:41:30 > 0:41:35- Oh, bad luck! - Oh, that was brilliant.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39A brilliant answer, as it turns out.
0:41:39 > 0:41:42Sadly, just not quite brilliant enough.
0:41:42 > 0:41:48You didn't find that crucial pointless answer, so I'm afraid you don't win the jackpot of £2,250,
0:41:48 > 0:41:49which rolls over to the next show.
0:41:49 > 0:41:53But you have been fantastic and you get our Pointless trophy.
0:41:53 > 0:41:55BOTH: Thank you. APPLAUSE
0:41:58 > 0:42:02So, Richard, what were the answers they were struggling to find?
0:42:02 > 0:42:07As you can imagine, Clarkson and Richard Hammond and James May were miles ahead of everybody else
0:42:07 > 0:42:09but it's been presented by all sorts of people.
0:42:09 > 0:42:11Noel Edmonds has done it, Kate Humble.
0:42:11 > 0:42:16But there were a bunch of pointless answers. Let's look at a few of them.
0:42:16 > 0:42:19Angela Rippon was one of the first ever presenters.
0:42:19 > 0:42:21That was pointless. Julia Bradbury.
0:42:21 > 0:42:24Jon Bentley, who was one of the producers, as well.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26He's credited with discovering Jeremy Clarkson.
0:42:26 > 0:42:29- So if you're wondering who to thank... - LAUGHTER
0:42:29 > 0:42:31Let's take a look at a couple more.
0:42:31 > 0:42:35I know the current supremo of Top Gear, Andy Wilman,
0:42:35 > 0:42:37who's a brilliant producer, he also was a presenter
0:42:37 > 0:42:40and he was a pointless answer. Sorry, Andy.
0:42:40 > 0:42:43Judith Jackson, Mike Dornan, Peter Burgess,
0:42:43 > 0:42:47all of those are pointless answers. Talking of pointless answers, Charlie Boardman,
0:42:47 > 0:42:51I think you were thinking of Charley Boorman, the motorcyclist,
0:42:51 > 0:42:52or Chris Boardman, the cyclist.
0:42:52 > 0:42:57Well done if you got any of those pointless answers. You would've won the jackpot.
0:42:57 > 0:43:02Thanks, Richard. Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to Tom and Katy. You've been fantastic.
0:43:02 > 0:43:05- Brilliant contestants. - APPLAUSE
0:43:05 > 0:43:08So nobody's won our jackpot today, so it rolls over,
0:43:08 > 0:43:13which means on the next show, we'll be playing for £3,250.
0:43:14 > 0:43:17Join us next time, see if someone can win it.
0:43:17 > 0:43:19- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:19 > 0:43:21And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
