0:00:15 > 0:00:18APPLAUSE

0:00:20 > 0:00:22CHEERS AND WHISTLES

0:00:22 > 0:00:25Thank you very much. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong.

0:00:25 > 0:00:30This is Pointless, the quiz where points are to be avoided and obscurity should be embraced.

0:00:30 > 0:00:32Let's meet today's players.

0:00:32 > 0:00:36APPLAUSE

0:00:36 > 0:00:40Welcome back, Tandeka and Selicia. You were here last time.

0:00:40 > 0:00:44- Remind us how you did.- We got to the head-to-head.- You did well.- We did.

0:00:44 > 0:00:46All the way through, and then...?

0:00:46 > 0:00:50- Tennis questions. - Tennis, you see.- Yeah.

0:00:50 > 0:00:54A killer. And the US States one was a tricky one.

0:00:54 > 0:00:57There were quite a few, if you want to go through them!

0:00:57 > 0:01:01Yeah, that was particularly tricky, I would say!

0:01:01 > 0:01:04Everyone gets two chances to reach our Pointless final,

0:01:04 > 0:01:08so very best of luck to you for this, your second and final chance.

0:01:08 > 0:01:11Welcome, Kirsty and Mike. How do you know each other?

0:01:11 > 0:01:15Kirsty's the eldest of my two beautiful daughters.

0:01:15 > 0:01:19I've known her for 37 years, so you know how old SHE is.

0:01:19 > 0:01:20Brilliant, Dad(!)

0:01:20 > 0:01:23- LAUGHTER - Yeah, nice one, Mike(!)

0:01:23 > 0:01:28She's got three gorgeous boys, my grandsons.

0:01:28 > 0:01:30Ethan, Toby and Aspen.

0:01:30 > 0:01:34- That's right.- Good names!- I now work part time to look after them.

0:01:34 > 0:01:37- You're a semi-retired teacher? - That's right.

0:01:37 > 0:01:41You pick and choose when you want to go in?

0:01:41 > 0:01:47I go in on a regular basis each day but teach only for two hours a day.

0:01:47 > 0:01:50"Sometimes I choose not to prepare the lessons!"

0:01:50 > 0:01:52Very good. Best of luck to you this afternoon.

0:01:52 > 0:01:55Welcome to Paul and Paul. How do you know each other?

0:01:55 > 0:02:00We've known each other 15 years. We used to play football and pool together.

0:02:00 > 0:02:02Occasionally, we have a pint together nowadays.

0:02:02 > 0:02:07- What do you do, Paul over there? - I'm a tattooist.- I was going to ask.

0:02:07 > 0:02:09- I can see a tiny bit there.- Yeah.

0:02:09 > 0:02:14- Other Paul, what do you do? - I'm a cheesemaker in Devon.- No!

0:02:14 > 0:02:17- What kinds of cheese?- Hard cheeses - red Leicester, double Gloucester.

0:02:17 > 0:02:21- All the cheeses you can eat when you're pregnant.- Yes.

0:02:21 > 0:02:24Which I am. LAUGHTER

0:02:24 > 0:02:27I'm going to move on. Very best of luck to you on the show.

0:02:27 > 0:02:28Welcome back, Anne and Janet.

0:02:28 > 0:02:33You were on the show last time as well. Remind us how YOU did.

0:02:33 > 0:02:37- We went out after the first round. - Garden birds.- Garden birds.

0:02:37 > 0:02:41- Garden birds. Woodpeckers did for you.- They did.

0:02:41 > 0:02:45- I've gone off them now. - What do you hope comes up?

0:02:45 > 0:02:47- Theatre.- Possibly, yes.

0:02:47 > 0:02:50Theatre. Of course, Anne's a director.

0:02:50 > 0:02:56We found out last time, and a doyenne of amateur dramatics.

0:02:56 > 0:03:00- As are you, Janet.- Yeah. - Very best of luck this afternoon.

0:03:00 > 0:03:04I'm sure you'll go much further than you did last time.

0:03:04 > 0:03:07We'll find out more about all of you throughout the show.

0:03:07 > 0:03:12There's one more person for me to introduce, the man who has obscurity at his fingertips.

0:03:12 > 0:03:14He is my Pointless friend. He's Richard.

0:03:14 > 0:03:17CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

0:03:19 > 0:03:22So, Richard, what sort of show is it going to be?

0:03:22 > 0:03:25We've got two interesting returning pairs.

0:03:25 > 0:03:31Tandeka and Selicia, you said you wanted there to be Sex And The City questions this time.

0:03:31 > 0:03:35And it's a Sex And The City special! Every single...

0:03:35 > 0:03:38Well, I say every single question.

0:03:38 > 0:03:41No, maybe more world geography on some of them.

0:03:41 > 0:03:44I think Paul and Paul might do rather well.

0:03:44 > 0:03:49A number of times we've had pairs who are tattooists and cheesemakers!

0:03:49 > 0:03:53Always a good combination. They always do very well.

0:03:53 > 0:03:57Have you thought of tattooing world capitals or FA Cup winners up your arm?

0:03:57 > 0:03:59I've got no room left.

0:03:59 > 0:04:03- It'd be a good way of cheating. - Very good way of cheating.- Yeah?

0:04:03 > 0:04:07We put our questions to 100 people before the show.

0:04:07 > 0:04:10This is Pointless, so we're after the obscure answers they didn't get.

0:04:10 > 0:04:15To stay in the game, all our players need to do is to score as few points as they can.

0:04:15 > 0:04:20What everyone's trying to do is find a pointless answer, that none of our 100 people gave.

0:04:20 > 0:04:24If it happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.

0:04:24 > 0:04:28Rob and Julie won the jackpot last time so today's jackpot starts at...

0:04:30 > 0:04:33APPLAUSE

0:04:33 > 0:04:35Right, let's play Pointless!

0:04:40 > 0:04:44In the first round, each of you must give me one answer

0:04:44 > 0:04:46and you cannot confer with your partner.

0:04:46 > 0:04:50Whichever team has the highest score at the end of the round will be eliminated.

0:04:50 > 0:04:52OK. Our first category this afternoon is...

0:04:54 > 0:04:55There it is! Geography.

0:04:55 > 0:05:01Can you decide in your pairs who's going first, who's going second.

0:05:01 > 0:05:05And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:05:08 > 0:05:10Let's find out what the question is.

0:05:10 > 0:05:14We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...

0:05:14 > 0:05:20European Rivers as they could. European Rivers. Richard.

0:05:20 > 0:05:26All the correct answers are major rivers of any country that's wholly or partly in Europe.

0:05:26 > 0:05:31- Glad we had you on hand, Richard(!) - Nothing Sex And The City related, I'm afraid.

0:05:31 > 0:05:36Tandeka and Selicia, you all drew lots and you get to go first.

0:05:36 > 0:05:40We're going to give you a choice of seven answers in each pass.

0:05:40 > 0:05:43The first set of seven answers reads like this...

0:05:53 > 0:05:55I'll read those again.

0:06:02 > 0:06:05I can tell you that at least one of those answers is pointless.

0:06:05 > 0:06:06You must be careful -

0:06:06 > 0:06:11there is also at least one incorrect answer amongst those seven.

0:06:11 > 0:06:14Pick one of those and you will score the maximum of 100 points.

0:06:14 > 0:06:17Selicia, how's your river geography?

0:06:17 > 0:06:19Erm...

0:06:19 > 0:06:21Not great.

0:06:21 > 0:06:24- LAUGHS - But I'm going to give it a shot!

0:06:24 > 0:06:28- Try to find the most obscure answer you can on that board.- OK.

0:06:28 > 0:06:30Be careful,

0:06:30 > 0:06:34there's at least one incorrect answer.

0:06:34 > 0:06:36- At least one?- At least one.

0:06:38 > 0:06:42There's also a pointless there. At least one.

0:06:42 > 0:06:44Sorry to be rude but...

0:06:44 > 0:06:47- Thanks. - LAUGHTER

0:06:49 > 0:06:52- I know.- I can't see through you! - She's not sorry.

0:06:52 > 0:06:56- She's not sorry.- OK, I think I know.

0:06:56 > 0:06:59OK, I'm going to go with...

0:06:59 > 0:07:01Is it Seine?

0:07:01 > 0:07:04The River Seine.

0:07:04 > 0:07:08Is it a correct answer? How many people said it, if so?

0:07:09 > 0:07:11It's right.

0:07:13 > 0:07:1680 people said the Seine. That scores you 80. Richard.

0:07:16 > 0:07:23It's 480 miles long. Flows through Paris out to the English Channel.

0:07:23 > 0:07:2580! It's better than 100. Mike.

0:07:25 > 0:07:30- We are looking for European rivers. - OK. I'll go for the River Po.

0:07:30 > 0:07:32Do you know where the Po is?

0:07:32 > 0:07:33It's in Italy.

0:07:33 > 0:07:36There we are. The River Po in Italy.

0:07:36 > 0:07:39No question of that. Let's see how many people said it.

0:07:42 > 0:07:43It's correct.

0:07:48 > 0:07:50Very good.

0:07:50 > 0:07:54River Po scores you 10 points. Richard.

0:07:54 > 0:07:59The Po in Italy. The only river in Europe named after a Teletubby.

0:07:59 > 0:08:05Apart from the Tinky Winky in Romania. It's the only other one.

0:08:05 > 0:08:09- We are looking for European rivers. Paul.- Yes.- What do you think?

0:08:09 > 0:08:15When you said the question, Po went straight into my mind.

0:08:15 > 0:08:17- And now it's gone.- Yes.

0:08:17 > 0:08:20There's an obvious one or two, maybe.

0:08:20 > 0:08:23Trying to go for a more obscure one.

0:08:26 > 0:08:30I think... I'm sure...Arno.

0:08:31 > 0:08:33The Arno.

0:08:33 > 0:08:36Let's see if that's right and how many people said the River Arno.

0:08:39 > 0:08:40It is correct.

0:08:45 > 0:08:47APPLAUSE

0:08:47 > 0:08:51A very good answer. That scores you 2 points. Richard.

0:08:51 > 0:08:55Yeah, very good answer. The Arno is also in Italy.

0:08:55 > 0:09:00It flooded and caused untold damage to art treasures in Florence.

0:09:00 > 0:09:03As in, "Ah, no! The Botticelli's got wet!"

0:09:03 > 0:09:04MUTED LAUGHTER

0:09:04 > 0:09:08- No, it really did. - LAUGHTER

0:09:08 > 0:09:13So, Janet? You're the last person to have this selection.

0:09:13 > 0:09:16Three have gone. No-one's found the pointless.

0:09:16 > 0:09:19Two I know are definitely rivers.

0:09:19 > 0:09:23Yeah. You can say what they are, as long as you pick one at the end.

0:09:23 > 0:09:25The Danube and the Loire are rivers.

0:09:25 > 0:09:27- OK.- I'm pretty sure.

0:09:27 > 0:09:30Don't think the Bug is. Not sure about Elbrus.

0:09:30 > 0:09:34I'm going with Loire. I've been on holiday there.

0:09:34 > 0:09:37- You been on holiday there.- Yes. - You know it's a river.- Yes.

0:09:37 > 0:09:41Let's hope no-one else knew. Let's see how many people said Loire.

0:09:43 > 0:09:44Well, it is right.

0:09:51 > 0:09:54Loire scores you 17.

0:09:54 > 0:09:58- Loire, Richard.- Good answer, Janet. The longest river in France.

0:09:58 > 0:10:01Not the most famous, because that's the Seine!

0:10:01 > 0:10:05Let's take a look through the rest of the board.

0:10:05 > 0:10:08There's an obvious one - Danube. That would have scored you...

0:10:08 > 0:10:13Elbrus and Bug. One is pointless. One is incorrect. What do you think?

0:10:13 > 0:10:17- I'm going to say Bug.- You think Bug is a pointless answer?- Yeah.

0:10:17 > 0:10:20It is the pointless answer.

0:10:20 > 0:10:24It flows between Ukraine and Poland. Would've added £250 to the jackpot.

0:10:24 > 0:10:28And the Elbrus is the highest peak in Europe in the Caucasus.

0:10:28 > 0:10:30That was an incorrect answer.

0:10:30 > 0:10:32We're halfway through the round.

0:10:32 > 0:10:36Let's take a look at the scores as they stand.

0:10:36 > 0:10:39Well, Tandeka and Selicia, there you are on 80.

0:10:39 > 0:10:43Tandeka, you have to find a really obscure answer on the next pass

0:10:43 > 0:10:44to avoid leaving us.

0:10:44 > 0:10:46Paul and Paul, fantastic.

0:10:46 > 0:10:48There at 2. Lovely low score.

0:10:48 > 0:10:53Kirsty and Mike, 10, Anne and Janet, 17, all looking pretty good.

0:10:53 > 0:10:56But, yes, Tandeka, you've got a mountain to climb,

0:10:56 > 0:10:58rather than a river to swim, on the next pass

0:10:58 > 0:11:00We'll come back down the line.

0:11:00 > 0:11:03Can the second players take their places at the podium?

0:11:05 > 0:11:09We're going to put seven more answers on the board.

0:11:09 > 0:11:12Here are your options. We've got...

0:11:23 > 0:11:24I'll read those again.

0:11:32 > 0:11:35Again, I can tell you that at least one of those is pointless

0:11:35 > 0:11:39and there is also at least one incorrect answer.

0:11:39 > 0:11:43Try and avoid that or those. Right, Anne.

0:11:43 > 0:11:46You're currently on 17.

0:11:46 > 0:11:50You want to score 62 or less with your answer.

0:11:50 > 0:11:53OK. Right, I'm going to go for the Liffey.

0:11:53 > 0:11:57- Do you know where that is?- Ireland.

0:11:57 > 0:12:01- Any more specific?- All I associate it with is Irish whiskey.

0:12:01 > 0:12:03Liffey water!

0:12:03 > 0:12:04Always with the booze, you two!

0:12:04 > 0:12:07It is. It's the drama bit.

0:12:07 > 0:12:08There's your red line.

0:12:08 > 0:12:12Below that line, you are definitely through to the next round.

0:12:12 > 0:12:14You are saying Liffey.

0:12:14 > 0:12:18Let's see if it's correct and, if so, how many people said Liffey.

0:12:19 > 0:12:22Well, it is correct.

0:12:22 > 0:12:23It's good enough.

0:12:27 > 0:12:32Very good answer. That scores you 9, taking your total to 26.

0:12:32 > 0:12:36- Richard, the Liffey.- As you say, it's in the Republic of Ireland.

0:12:36 > 0:12:40- 80 miles long.- Excellent. Thank you very much. Now, Paul,

0:12:40 > 0:12:44you're currently on 2. Fantastic low score.

0:12:44 > 0:12:48You want to score 77 or less with this answer.

0:12:50 > 0:12:52Geography is not my strong point.

0:12:52 > 0:12:55Do people ever come in and ask for a river tattoo?

0:12:55 > 0:12:58No. Not something I've ever had.

0:12:58 > 0:13:00Be quite a good tattoo, quite a long one.

0:13:00 > 0:13:04Pretty easy to colour in. Yeah. LAUGHTER

0:13:04 > 0:13:06There's a few there I do recognise.

0:13:06 > 0:13:09I think I've maybe got one or two.

0:13:09 > 0:13:11So I'm going to go for the Volga.

0:13:12 > 0:13:17As I say, you want to score 77 or less with this answer.

0:13:17 > 0:13:20There's your red line. If Volga gets you below that, you're through.

0:13:20 > 0:13:24Let's see if it's correct and if so, how many people said the Volga.

0:13:25 > 0:13:27It is correct.

0:13:27 > 0:13:28It's good enough.

0:13:33 > 0:13:3813. Very good answer. Gives you a total of 15.

0:13:38 > 0:13:42- Richard.- Yeah, the Volga is the longest river in Europe.

0:13:42 > 0:13:45Though not the most famous. That's the Seine.

0:13:45 > 0:13:47LAUGHTER

0:13:47 > 0:13:51OK, thank you, Richard. Kirsty.

0:13:51 > 0:13:55- Hello.- Hello. You are currently on 10.

0:13:55 > 0:13:57You want to score 69 or less with this answer.

0:13:57 > 0:14:01Right, I'm going for one which is a bit of a cop out

0:14:01 > 0:14:04purely because I know it's a river.

0:14:04 > 0:14:07That's the Rhine in Germany.

0:14:07 > 0:14:09There is still a pointless on that board.

0:14:09 > 0:14:12Don't know why I'm telling you that.

0:14:12 > 0:14:14But there we are. There is.

0:14:14 > 0:14:17If you come below that red line you are through to the next round.

0:14:17 > 0:14:20The Rhine. How many people said that?

0:14:23 > 0:14:25It's right.

0:14:25 > 0:14:27GROANS

0:14:27 > 0:14:3372, that scored you, taking your total up to 82.

0:14:33 > 0:14:37- Richard, the Rhine. - Yes, it's a very, very big score.

0:14:37 > 0:14:42It rises in Switzerland, goes through Germany into the North Sea via Holland.

0:14:42 > 0:14:46Tandeka, that's changed things a little bit.

0:14:46 > 0:14:48You are no longer the high scorers.

0:14:48 > 0:14:54Which means you have to score 1 or less.

0:14:54 > 0:14:56See if you can pick a pointless answer.

0:14:56 > 0:15:00We haven't had a pointless answer.

0:15:00 > 0:15:04I don't have a clue. I've done eenie meenie miney mo in my head.

0:15:04 > 0:15:07And I'm going to pick...

0:15:08 > 0:15:10I don't know now.

0:15:10 > 0:15:13SELICIA WHISPERS All right, ssh!

0:15:13 > 0:15:16The first one. Dniester?

0:15:16 > 0:15:18- The Dniester?- That's the one.

0:15:18 > 0:15:22The Dniester is what you're saying.

0:15:22 > 0:15:24There's your red line.

0:15:24 > 0:15:26LAUGHTER

0:15:26 > 0:15:30Looks like a red carpet in cross section.

0:15:30 > 0:15:34Last time you did eenie meenie miney mo, didn't really help, did it?

0:15:34 > 0:15:37Because I changed my mind at the last minute.

0:15:37 > 0:15:40- Your faith in eenie meenie miney mo is...?- Not that strong!

0:15:40 > 0:15:45OK. Let's see how eenie meenie miney mo has done for you this time.

0:15:45 > 0:15:50The Dniester, let's see if it's right and how many people said it.

0:15:53 > 0:15:54It's right.

0:16:00 > 0:16:02CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

0:16:04 > 0:16:09That's a pointless answer and adds £250 to today's jackpot!

0:16:09 > 0:16:11Taking the total up to...

0:16:11 > 0:16:15and scoring you nothing, getting you through to the next round.

0:16:15 > 0:16:19The Dniester, I don't need to tell you this, Tandeka,

0:16:19 > 0:16:24- rises in the Ukraine and flows out to the Black Sea.- I know!

0:16:24 > 0:16:25I know you know that.

0:16:25 > 0:16:28And the Seine wasn't so... You got through. Let's look at the board.

0:16:28 > 0:16:32If you'd said the Douro, you'd be tied. It's in Portugal.

0:16:32 > 0:16:34It would've scored you 2 points.

0:16:34 > 0:16:38The Rhone, obviously, is a fairly high scorer.

0:16:38 > 0:16:39It would've got you 41.

0:16:39 > 0:16:42And the Alph is not a real river.

0:16:42 > 0:16:45It's from Coleridge's Kubla Khan, the Alph.

0:16:45 > 0:16:50- What a romantic name(!) - "Where Alph the sacred river ran."

0:16:50 > 0:16:54At the end of Round One, the pair with the highest score

0:16:54 > 0:16:56is Kirsty and Mike.

0:16:56 > 0:17:01- That was a nail-biting close to the first round.- It was.- Dear, oh, dear!

0:17:01 > 0:17:04It was an option of guessing and getting it wrong

0:17:04 > 0:17:07or going for definitely a river.

0:17:07 > 0:17:09- Sorry, Dad.- Don't worry.

0:17:09 > 0:17:13- Aah! - AUDIENCE: Aah!

0:17:13 > 0:17:16- We'll be back! - You'll be back.- Yeah.

0:17:16 > 0:17:19Well, I'M coming back! LAUGHTER

0:17:19 > 0:17:23Yes, you're right, everyone gets two shots at the Pointless final.

0:17:23 > 0:17:27Sorry to be saying goodbye so soon, but we will see you again.

0:17:27 > 0:17:30Hopefully, you'll get even further through the game

0:17:30 > 0:17:33- Thanks so much for playing. - APPLAUSE

0:17:36 > 0:17:41For the remaining three pairs, it's time for Round Two.

0:17:41 > 0:17:44CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

0:17:44 > 0:17:50It's time to find out which two teams will go through to the head-to-head.

0:17:50 > 0:17:53The category for Round Two is...

0:17:54 > 0:17:59Decide in your pairs who's going first, who's going second.

0:18:02 > 0:18:06Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

0:18:08 > 0:18:10Right, so the question is...

0:18:14 > 0:18:17Fictional Haunts And Their Shows.

0:18:17 > 0:18:21We're about to show you a list of pubs, bars and restaurants.

0:18:21 > 0:18:27We gave 100 people 100 seconds to tell us in which television show they appear. Richard.

0:18:27 > 0:18:30We'll give you the names of six pubs, bars and restaurants.

0:18:30 > 0:18:32The easy ones will score you big points,

0:18:32 > 0:18:36the more obscure ones will score you very few points.

0:18:36 > 0:18:40A wrong answer scores 100 points. See if you get all six at home.

0:18:40 > 0:18:43Your first six are...

0:18:54 > 0:18:55I'll read those again.

0:19:02 > 0:19:08Selicia, we are looking for the TV shows these places appear in.

0:19:10 > 0:19:13Do you watch a lot of telly?

0:19:13 > 0:19:16No, I don't watch much television.

0:19:16 > 0:19:18What are your hobbies?

0:19:18 > 0:19:20Reading. I like to read.

0:19:20 > 0:19:22Shopping!

0:19:22 > 0:19:24LAUGHTER

0:19:24 > 0:19:29Not watching the telly. Clearly, I don't particularly know this.

0:19:30 > 0:19:34The only one I can think of is...

0:19:35 > 0:19:40..Moe's Tavern, The Simpsons.

0:19:40 > 0:19:43OK. So we're going with Moe's Tavern, The Simpsons.

0:19:43 > 0:19:46Let's see if that's a correct answer and how many people

0:19:46 > 0:19:47said Moe's Tavern, The Simpsons.

0:19:49 > 0:19:50Well, it's right.

0:19:55 > 0:19:5936. Not a bad score. 36, Richard?

0:19:59 > 0:20:01Surprisingly low score.

0:20:01 > 0:20:05Run by Moe Szyslak, frequented by Homer.

0:20:05 > 0:20:08And Lenny and Carl and Barney.

0:20:08 > 0:20:13Paul, we are looking for the TV shows in which these places appear.

0:20:13 > 0:20:15What's that listing looking like?

0:20:15 > 0:20:17Some I know.

0:20:17 > 0:20:19Some I don't know.

0:20:19 > 0:20:20I'm not really...

0:20:20 > 0:20:23much of a serial telly watcher.

0:20:23 > 0:20:25I'm more films and things like that.

0:20:25 > 0:20:27"Serial" television watcher!

0:20:27 > 0:20:30Interesting.

0:20:30 > 0:20:33- Quite scary. - I don't know three of them.

0:20:33 > 0:20:36I know three. Ish.

0:20:36 > 0:20:38I'm going to say...

0:20:38 > 0:20:40the Winchester Club, Minder.

0:20:40 > 0:20:46Good answer. Let's see how many people knew that answer.

0:20:48 > 0:20:49Well, it's correct.

0:20:54 > 0:20:56APPLAUSE

0:20:56 > 0:20:5943! Surprisingly high!

0:20:59 > 0:21:03It ran for 15 years. It's where Arthur Daley drank.

0:21:03 > 0:21:08They briefly revamped it in 2009. That version didn't last 15 years.

0:21:08 > 0:21:14It had Shane Richie, yet people still didn't seem to come to it.

0:21:14 > 0:21:17- What do you have to do? - LAUGHTER

0:21:18 > 0:21:23Right, so, Janet, we are looking for the TV shows

0:21:23 > 0:21:25that these haunts come from.

0:21:25 > 0:21:28There's only one that I know.

0:21:28 > 0:21:32I've heard of Grease Monkeys but can't remember what it's in.

0:21:32 > 0:21:37I'm going for the only one I know, the Queen Vic in EastEnders.

0:21:37 > 0:21:40Do you reckon that's going to score over 90?

0:21:40 > 0:21:44- I think it might. - You think it might score 100?

0:21:44 > 0:21:47- It could do.- It may not. Let's see if it's right.

0:21:47 > 0:21:51If it is, how many people said the Queen Vic, EastEnders?

0:21:55 > 0:21:58Thought as much! That scores you 96, Janet.

0:21:58 > 0:22:02- Richard. - One of our biggest-ever scores.

0:22:02 > 0:22:07Now, EastEnders has been popular, despite having Shane Richie in it!

0:22:07 > 0:22:09Who's making the rules here?

0:22:09 > 0:22:13It's better than 100, but only four better than 100.

0:22:13 > 0:22:16Let's look at the rest.

0:22:16 > 0:22:18Grease Monkeys, Alexander?

0:22:18 > 0:22:21- No idea!- You'd have known it if it was 15 years before.

0:22:21 > 0:22:25A trendy '50s diner set up

0:22:25 > 0:22:29for the youth of Erinsborough. I suspect Toadfish was involved.

0:22:29 > 0:22:30He usually was.

0:22:30 > 0:22:33Cafe Nervosa, do you know?

0:22:33 > 0:22:34MOUTHS

0:22:34 > 0:22:37The cafe in Frasier, the coffee bar.

0:22:37 > 0:22:40That would've got you 1 point.

0:22:40 > 0:22:42Monk's Cafe is a pointless answer.

0:22:42 > 0:22:45Well done at home if you got that. Any idea?

0:22:45 > 0:22:47- Seinfeld.- It is Seinfeld. Yeah.

0:22:47 > 0:22:50So, again, well done if you got that at home.

0:22:50 > 0:22:54Let's look at the scores, as we are halfway through the round.

0:22:54 > 0:22:57Anne and Janet, 96, a whopping great score.

0:22:57 > 0:23:00You are quite a long way ahead.

0:23:00 > 0:23:03Anne, you've got a job to do in the second pass!

0:23:03 > 0:23:0636, Selicia and Tandeka.

0:23:06 > 0:23:11Fantastic answer. Nice low score from Moe's Cafe.

0:23:11 > 0:23:13Paul and Paul in the middle.

0:23:13 > 0:23:1843. Not bad. But, yes, Anne, good luck in this next pass.

0:23:18 > 0:23:21Can the second players please take their places at the podium?

0:23:25 > 0:23:30We're going to put six more pubs, bars and restaurants on the board, and here they are.

0:23:40 > 0:23:42I'll just read those one more time.

0:23:49 > 0:23:54We are looking for the TV shows in which these places appear.

0:23:54 > 0:23:59Try and find the one with the fewest that our 100 people knew. Anne.

0:23:59 > 0:24:05This is to stay in the game. Score as low as you possibly can.

0:24:07 > 0:24:10- The only one I recognise there... - Not a good start.

0:24:10 > 0:24:15It's not good. Central Perk and that's Friends.

0:24:15 > 0:24:21- Do you think that's going to score less than 90?- It's bound to be 115!

0:24:21 > 0:24:25Oh, Anne! Central Perk, Friends, you are saying.

0:24:25 > 0:24:29You are the high scorers. You don't have a red line.

0:24:29 > 0:24:33Let's see how many people said Central Perk, Friends.

0:24:34 > 0:24:35It's correct.

0:24:38 > 0:24:4463 that scores you, taking your total up to 159.

0:24:44 > 0:24:49Yeah, I can exclusively reveal that Central Perk is the cafe in Friends.

0:24:49 > 0:24:53Friends, the American TV series. I like nothing else!

0:24:53 > 0:24:56It's in Friends. They drink there.

0:24:56 > 0:25:00Rachel works there. They live, they love, they drink.

0:25:00 > 0:25:04You know. Central Perk. It's the place from Friends.

0:25:04 > 0:25:07Thank you, Richard. That's what I wanted to know.

0:25:07 > 0:25:10The writing's on the wall, I'm afraid, for Anne and Janet.

0:25:10 > 0:25:14No matter what happens, I'm afraid you are going to be eliminated.

0:25:14 > 0:25:19No-one's able to overtake your high, high score. So, Paul,

0:25:19 > 0:25:21bearing that in mind,

0:25:21 > 0:25:24maybe see if there's a pointless answer on that board

0:25:24 > 0:25:25that you can find.

0:25:25 > 0:25:29There are only two answers I know.

0:25:29 > 0:25:32I'll go for the one that's the least.

0:25:32 > 0:25:35The Drunken Clam, Family Guy.

0:25:35 > 0:25:37The Drunken Clam, Family Guy.

0:25:37 > 0:25:43You are on 43. If you score 100, you won't overtake Anne and Janet.

0:25:43 > 0:25:46The Drunken Clam, Family Guy. How many people said that?

0:25:48 > 0:25:49It's right.

0:25:56 > 0:25:59Good answer. Gives you a total of 54.

0:25:59 > 0:26:03Drunken Clam is where Peter Griffin and friends drink

0:26:03 > 0:26:06in Quahog in Family Guy.

0:26:06 > 0:26:09- Tandeka.- Hi.- You've done it again. You are through to the head-to-head.

0:26:09 > 0:26:12How does that feel?

0:26:12 > 0:26:14Random, but good. ALEXANDER LAUGHS

0:26:14 > 0:26:19Very well done. Why not see if there's a pointless answer?

0:26:20 > 0:26:26I doubt if it's a pointless answer but I'm going to go for...

0:26:26 > 0:26:27The Jockey, Shameless.

0:26:27 > 0:26:32Let's see if it's right and how many people said The Jockey, Shameless.

0:26:35 > 0:26:37It's right.

0:26:42 > 0:26:47Good answer. Scores you 8, giving you a total of 44.

0:26:47 > 0:26:50Yeah, The Jockey, inspired by the Wellington Inn in West Gorton.

0:26:50 > 0:26:53Very good answer.

0:26:53 > 0:26:54Let's look at the others.

0:26:54 > 0:26:59- The Woolpack, do you know where that is?- Emmerdale.

0:26:59 > 0:27:04- I saw it on the board.- 94 points. Just less than the Queen Vic.

0:27:04 > 0:27:05Bada Bing?

0:27:05 > 0:27:07That's from The Sopranos.

0:27:07 > 0:27:09That would've scored you...

0:27:09 > 0:27:12The Kebab and Calculator is a pointless answer.

0:27:12 > 0:27:14Do you know that one?

0:27:14 > 0:27:18- I do. That's The Young Ones.- Yeah! Would've got you zero points.

0:27:18 > 0:27:21Filmed in the Cock Of The North pub in Bristol, a circular pub.

0:27:21 > 0:27:24Yeah, from The Young Ones. Very good.

0:27:24 > 0:27:27Thanks very much, Richard.

0:27:27 > 0:27:31At the end of Round Two, the losing pair, it's Anne and Janet.

0:27:31 > 0:27:34- Oh, dear. What a shame! - Better than last time, though.

0:27:34 > 0:27:38A bit better. We haven't seen the best from you.

0:27:38 > 0:27:41- No.- Sadly, we've seen the last from you.

0:27:41 > 0:27:46You've had two really unfair rounds. Well, not unfair.

0:27:46 > 0:27:49Unfair according to your particular skills.

0:27:49 > 0:27:52Very diplomatically put, though I say so myself.

0:27:52 > 0:27:57I'm sorry we're not seeing more of you. Thanks very much for playing.

0:27:57 > 0:28:01APPLAUSE

0:28:01 > 0:28:05Things are even more exciting now, as we enter the head-to-head.

0:28:05 > 0:28:09CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

0:28:09 > 0:28:14Well done, Paul, Paul, Tandeka, Selicia, you're through to the head-to head.

0:28:14 > 0:28:17Only one pair can make it to the final and play for today's jackpot,

0:28:17 > 0:28:19which currently stands at...

0:28:22 > 0:28:23APPLAUSE

0:28:23 > 0:28:27You're going to go head-to-head on the best of three questions.

0:28:27 > 0:28:29You are now allowed to confer.

0:28:29 > 0:28:33All you have to do is come up with an answer that scores less than the other pair.

0:28:33 > 0:28:37The first pair to win two questions will play for today's jackpot.

0:28:37 > 0:28:39Let's play Pointless.

0:28:42 > 0:28:44Here's your first question.

0:28:44 > 0:28:49We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...

0:28:49 > 0:28:53Words of the acronym "scuba" as they could.

0:28:53 > 0:29:00- Richard.- Any of the five different words that each letter of this diving acronym "scuba" stand for.

0:29:00 > 0:29:03Any of the words of the acronym "scuba".

0:29:04 > 0:29:08Paul and Paul, because you have played best so far, you go first.

0:29:08 > 0:29:10We are looking for...

0:29:14 > 0:29:19Yeah. Well, we know what the acronym means.

0:29:19 > 0:29:21It's just choosing which one.

0:29:21 > 0:29:28- I'm going to go for "contained". - Contained. Tandeka, Selicia?

0:29:29 > 0:29:33THEY WHISPER

0:29:33 > 0:29:37S stands for something. C stands for something.

0:29:37 > 0:29:40U stands for something.

0:29:40 > 0:29:42I don't know what they stand for.

0:29:42 > 0:29:45- Oh!- Do you know?- No.

0:29:45 > 0:29:47LAUGHTER

0:29:47 > 0:29:49- But...- Go on. What?

0:29:53 > 0:29:56I reckon it's got to be "under".

0:29:56 > 0:29:59- Just do it. Yeah.- Go on.

0:29:59 > 0:30:02U, "under"?

0:30:02 > 0:30:05You're going to go with U, "under".

0:30:05 > 0:30:08Paul and Paul have gone for "contained".

0:30:08 > 0:30:13Is that correct and how many people said "contained"?

0:30:13 > 0:30:14It's a right answer.

0:30:20 > 0:30:2320.

0:30:23 > 0:30:27Not a bad score. Tandeka and Selicia have said "under".

0:30:27 > 0:30:31Let's see if that's correct and how many people said "under".

0:30:36 > 0:30:39Bad luck. I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer.

0:30:39 > 0:30:42After the first question, Paul and Paul are ahead 1-0.

0:30:42 > 0:30:45- Richard. - It's "underwater", nearly right.

0:30:45 > 0:30:50"Contained" was the best answer anyway, so there was nothing you could have done to win.

0:30:50 > 0:30:51Let's take a look at all five.

0:30:51 > 0:30:55It is, of course, "self-contained underwater breathing apparatus".

0:31:00 > 0:31:03- Underwater, top with 42. - Here is your second question.

0:31:03 > 0:31:09Paul and Paul, if you win this point, you are through to the final.

0:31:09 > 0:31:13Tandeka, Selicia. Are you a quiz team normally?

0:31:13 > 0:31:17- Is this your first ever quiz? - Yeah. Can you tell?

0:31:17 > 0:31:21Well, yes, but, you know... There's a first time for everything.

0:31:21 > 0:31:26- Whose idea was it to come on the show?- Hers.- Mine.

0:31:26 > 0:31:29You have to win this point to stay in the game.

0:31:29 > 0:31:34We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many

0:31:34 > 0:31:39things Right Said Fred are too sexy for. Richard.

0:31:39 > 0:31:44In the song I'm Too Sexy, Right Said Fred are too sexy for ten things.

0:31:44 > 0:31:48What's the most obscure? Sing along at home if you know the words.

0:31:48 > 0:31:51Tandeka and Selicia, you are first.

0:31:51 > 0:31:55THEY WHISPER

0:32:06 > 0:32:11- I have to push you for an answer. - I'm too sexy for your car!

0:32:11 > 0:32:15- For MY car?- For your car. - I'm too sexy for YOUR car.

0:32:15 > 0:32:20- I think.- I'm too sexy for YOUR car. OK, Paul and Paul.

0:32:20 > 0:32:27Believe it or not, Paul and I were a Right Said Fred tribute band at one point.

0:32:27 > 0:32:32- Get out of here!- Genuinely, we were. - Get. Out. Of. Here.

0:32:32 > 0:32:36We always finished with "too sexy for this song".

0:32:36 > 0:32:40"This song". OK, "Your car", "this song".

0:32:40 > 0:32:43Tandeka and Selicia, went first with "your car".

0:32:43 > 0:32:48Let's see if that's correct and how many people said "I'm too sexy for your car".

0:32:50 > 0:32:53You have to win this point to stay in the game.

0:32:55 > 0:32:56It's right.

0:33:02 > 0:33:04APPLAUSE

0:33:06 > 0:33:09Not a bad answer. 29. It's not bad.

0:33:09 > 0:33:12Is it enough to keep you in the game?

0:33:12 > 0:33:16Paul and Paul said "this song". Let's see if that's correct.

0:33:16 > 0:33:19And if it is, let's see how many people said "this song".

0:33:21 > 0:33:22Just has to get below 29.

0:33:25 > 0:33:26Well, it is correct.

0:33:30 > 0:33:33Yep, it's done it!

0:33:36 > 0:33:40Well, a valiant effort from Tandeka and Selicia.

0:33:40 > 0:33:45After two questions, Paul and Paul are through to the final, 2-0.

0:33:45 > 0:33:50- Were you a Right Said Fred tribute act?- No.- They totally had me.

0:33:50 > 0:33:52- Did you believe them? - Yeah, course I did.

0:33:52 > 0:33:56- If you weren't, you should do it. - We're going to now.

0:33:56 > 0:34:01- You were having us on?- Just a tad. - I just believed it like that.

0:34:01 > 0:34:05Though who looks worse? Us for being trusting?

0:34:05 > 0:34:10Or two people who you could genuinely believe were a Right Said Fred tribute act?

0:34:10 > 0:34:13There were three answers that could've beat it.

0:34:13 > 0:34:16Let's take a look at all the things Right Said Fred are too sexy for...

0:34:19 > 0:34:20Hat, 9.

0:34:20 > 0:34:23New York... This is a bizarre list, isn't it?

0:34:33 > 0:34:36- Your cat or my cat? - We'll discuss it later.

0:34:36 > 0:34:38I think it was my cat. I'm sure it was.

0:34:45 > 0:34:47Well done if you got those at home.

0:34:47 > 0:34:50I say "well done". Come on.

0:34:50 > 0:34:54What I mean is, you should be ashamed of yourself.

0:34:54 > 0:34:57Or you should be in a Right Said Fred tribute band.

0:34:57 > 0:35:01The losing pair, I'm afraid, it's Tandeka and Selicia.

0:35:01 > 0:35:03SIGHS

0:35:03 > 0:35:06Scuba and Right Said Fred!

0:35:06 > 0:35:09You were pretty good on Right Said Fred. Scuba was tough.

0:35:09 > 0:35:12Yeah. Very tough.

0:35:12 > 0:35:16You've added £250 to the jackpot, which you won't get a sniff of!

0:35:16 > 0:35:20Cos Paul and Paul now go through to that final.

0:35:20 > 0:35:24They just weren't your categories, were they?

0:35:24 > 0:35:27- LAUGHING:- No. Not at all! - No Sex And The City.

0:35:27 > 0:35:30Tandeka and Selicia, you've been fantastic contestants. Thanks.

0:35:30 > 0:35:34CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

0:35:34 > 0:35:38It's time for our Pointless final and the chance to win 1,250 quid.

0:35:41 > 0:35:47Congratulations, Paul and Paul. You have won our coveted Pointless trophy.

0:35:51 > 0:35:54- Very well done. - APPLAUSE

0:35:54 > 0:35:56You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.

0:35:56 > 0:36:02At the end of today's show, it stands at £1,250.

0:36:02 > 0:36:04AUDIENCE: Ooh!

0:36:04 > 0:36:08To win the money, all you have to do is find a pointless answer,

0:36:08 > 0:36:10one that no-one else could think of.

0:36:10 > 0:36:15We've had one pointless answer. Find one more to go home with that money.

0:36:15 > 0:36:19First, choose a category. Here are your three choices.

0:36:24 > 0:36:27Number Ones, British theatre, childhood pastimes.

0:36:27 > 0:36:31- Your three favourite subjects(!) - We wanted them!

0:36:31 > 0:36:34- Discount the middle one?- Yeah.

0:36:34 > 0:36:37Number Ones, you never know what's going to come up.

0:36:37 > 0:36:40How long they've been in the charts for?

0:36:40 > 0:36:44- Childhood pastimes? - What do you think?

0:36:44 > 0:36:46We both know some Number Ones.

0:36:46 > 0:36:50Let's go music, shall we? Music Number Ones?

0:36:50 > 0:36:54- Number Ones, please. - Let's find out what the question is.

0:36:54 > 0:36:58We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name...

0:37:01 > 0:37:04Richard?

0:37:04 > 0:37:07Any UK Number One single that starts with the WORD "I".

0:37:07 > 0:37:11We wouldn't have Imagine. And not "I've", "I'm".

0:37:11 > 0:37:15Number One Singles that start with the word "I".

0:37:15 > 0:37:19You have up to one minute to come up with three answers.

0:37:19 > 0:37:23All you need, to win that £1,250, is for one answer to be pointless.

0:37:23 > 0:37:26Your 60 seconds start now.

0:37:26 > 0:37:28I Believe, is that a Number One?

0:37:28 > 0:37:31I Can Boogie.

0:37:31 > 0:37:35- Is it Yes, Sir, I Can Boogie? - Could be.

0:37:35 > 0:37:40I'm A Believer. I Believe In Miracles.

0:37:40 > 0:37:43Who was that? Hot Chocolate?

0:37:43 > 0:37:46What about older ones, maybe?

0:37:48 > 0:37:52I Wish I Could Fly. Was that a Number One?

0:37:52 > 0:37:55Wish I Could Fly? What? Orville?

0:37:55 > 0:37:57I doubt it was Number One.

0:37:57 > 0:38:02- I Believe In Miracles for one. We've got to get three.- Yeah.

0:38:04 > 0:38:09- I Who Have Nothing? - Who done that?- I can't remember!

0:38:09 > 0:38:12We'll go for that. I Who Have Nothing.

0:38:12 > 0:38:15I Believe In Miracles.

0:38:15 > 0:38:17Ten seconds left.

0:38:17 > 0:38:20I Am The Walrus, was that Number One? The Beatles?

0:38:20 > 0:38:25- I Am The Walrus? It's obscure, but was it Number One?- Exactly...

0:38:25 > 0:38:30That is your minute up. Number One singles beginning with the word "I".

0:38:30 > 0:38:33I need your three answers.

0:38:33 > 0:38:37We're going to go for I Believe In Miracles.

0:38:37 > 0:38:40I Believe In Miracles, Hot Chocolate.

0:38:40 > 0:38:43- I'm A Believer. - I'm A Believer, Monkees.

0:38:43 > 0:38:47- Paul's got one...- Can we have I'm A Believer? It's not I.

0:38:47 > 0:38:51Yeah. Oh, I don't know. Go for your one.

0:38:51 > 0:38:55- I Who Have Nothing. - I Who Have Nothing.

0:38:55 > 0:38:56OK. Very good.

0:38:56 > 0:39:00Which do you reckon is your best shot at a pointless answer?

0:39:01 > 0:39:06- I Who Have Nothing.- If it's a Number One, that's the most obscure.

0:39:06 > 0:39:09I Who Have Nothing, we'll put number three.

0:39:09 > 0:39:16- What's your least good option? - I'm A Believer. We think it's got to begin with "I".

0:39:16 > 0:39:19Let's put them up in that order.

0:39:28 > 0:39:32We're looking for Number One singles that begin with the word "I".

0:39:32 > 0:39:34This was your least confident answer.

0:39:34 > 0:39:38You only need one to be pointless to win that £1,250 jackpot.

0:39:38 > 0:39:42How many people said I'm A Believer?

0:39:48 > 0:39:51We knew that. That is not a pointless answer.

0:39:51 > 0:39:56It's an incorrect answer. You have two more chances to win the jackpot.

0:39:56 > 0:39:59£1,250! What will you spend that on?

0:40:00 > 0:40:05- I was going to get some cheese. - And I might have a tattoo.

0:40:05 > 0:40:08Well, that's just...

0:40:09 > 0:40:11..just perfect

0:40:11 > 0:40:15We're looking for Number One singles beginning with the word "I".

0:40:15 > 0:40:19This has to be pointless to win that jackpot.

0:40:19 > 0:40:27Let's see how many people said I Believe In Miracles and if it is a correct answer for £1,250.

0:40:33 > 0:40:39I Believe In Miracles is also an incorrect answer, therefore not the pointless answer you wanted.

0:40:39 > 0:40:44You have one final chance to win today's jackpot.

0:40:44 > 0:40:48Number One singles beginning with the word "I".

0:40:48 > 0:40:54- This is the answer you had the most faith in.- Not a lot.- Really?- No.

0:40:54 > 0:40:56- Not sure if it was Number One?- No.

0:40:56 > 0:41:00- But if it WAS Number One... - I'm confident if it's Number One.

0:41:00 > 0:41:03For the jackpot of £1,250,

0:41:03 > 0:41:07you've got to hope that nobody said I Who Have Nothing.

0:41:11 > 0:41:16Let's see if it's correct and if it is, how many people said I Who Have Nothing.

0:41:23 > 0:41:25APPLAUSE

0:41:25 > 0:41:27Bad luck!

0:41:27 > 0:41:32You didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer,

0:41:32 > 0:41:36so you don't win today's jackpot, which rolls over to the next show.

0:41:36 > 0:41:41You have been fantastic and you do take home your Pointless trophy!

0:41:41 > 0:41:43APPLAUSE

0:41:43 > 0:41:49I bet you can each now name another song beginning with "I".

0:41:49 > 0:41:54It's just whether they were a Number One. I Am The Walrus, The Beatles.

0:41:54 > 0:41:57- Things like that. - Richard, what should they have said?

0:41:57 > 0:42:00Let's go through some of the answers you gave.

0:42:00 > 0:42:05I Who Have Nothing, a hit for Shirley Bassey and Tom Jones, but never reached number one.

0:42:05 > 0:42:07Number Six for Shirley Bassey.

0:42:07 > 0:42:12- I Believe In Miracles, Hot Chocolate?- Yeah. - It's You Sexy Thing.- Right.

0:42:12 > 0:42:17And only reached number two. I'm A Believer was Number One but doesn't start with "I".

0:42:17 > 0:42:21There are lots of answers you'll know.

0:42:21 > 0:42:24It's thinking of them in 60 seconds. Let's take a look.

0:42:32 > 0:42:35All of these would have won the money.

0:42:42 > 0:42:45I Should Be So Lucky was a pointless answer!

0:42:50 > 0:42:54There's also I Can't Get No Satisfaction.

0:42:54 > 0:42:59There were a number there but thinking of them is very tough. Well done if you got one at home.

0:42:59 > 0:43:05Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to Paul and Paul.

0:43:05 > 0:43:08You've been brilliant contestants. Thank you.

0:43:08 > 0:43:10APPLAUSE

0:43:10 > 0:43:17Nobody's won our jackpot, which means on the next show we'll be playing for £2,250!

0:43:17 > 0:43:19AUDIENCE: Oooh!

0:43:19 > 0:43:23- Join us next time. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.

0:43:23 > 0:43:25And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.

0:43:25 > 0:43:28CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
