0:00:16 > 0:00:19APPLAUSE
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong, and this is Pointless,
0:00:27 > 0:00:31the quiz show where the stakes are high, but the points need to be low. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40So, welcome Rohan and Nigel, you are our first pair today. How do you two know each other?
0:00:40 > 0:00:44Well, Rohan will very shortly be my son-in-law.
0:00:44 > 0:00:45Ho-ho-ho!
0:00:45 > 0:00:47- That's brave!- Hopefully!
0:00:47 > 0:00:51- Rohan - oh, the stakes are really high!- Indeed, yeah.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55Nigel, what a kind hand of future father-in-lawness
0:00:55 > 0:00:57to hand down to Rohan.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01- Rohan, you're going to have to do so well today, so well.- Yeah.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Is your fiancee here in the audience?
0:01:03 > 0:01:07No, she's too busy at work, unfortunately, but...
0:01:07 > 0:01:12She'll be watching it when it comes out on telly. I hope things are still sweet then between you.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16Anyway, best of luck on the show. Welcome to Sandie and Charlotte - how do you two know each other?
0:01:16 > 0:01:20We met in secondary school, so we've been best friends since we were 11 years old.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23- Where was that?- In Cardiff.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25In Cardiff - you still live in Cardiff?
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Yes, I do, with my partner and my baby daughter, Ellen.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31- Charlotte, how about you?- In Bath.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34- What do you do in Bath? - I'm a secondary history teacher.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37Very good, best of luck to you. And welcome back, Kay-Leigh and Simon.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40Everyone of course gets two shots at the Pointless final.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44This is your second and final shot at it - how did you do last time?
0:01:44 > 0:01:49We got eliminated in the second round - I didn't know my film quotes.
0:01:49 > 0:01:50- You did not know your film quotes, Simon.- No!
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Well, best of luck to the pair of you.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57And finally we have got Lauren and Scott - how do you two know each other?
0:01:57 > 0:02:00We met six years ago in Cheltenham, and we've been married in two.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04We met on FA Cup day - Millwall versus Man United.
0:02:04 > 0:02:09- You were obviously cheering on the Lions, I should imagine? - It certainly wasn't Man United.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11And you bonded,
0:02:11 > 0:02:13watching the FA Cup.
0:02:13 > 0:02:18- Yeah.- Yes, we find lager and red wine is a good thing to bring two people together.- What a mix as well.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Beautiful. Very best of luck to you throughout the show.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25We'll find out more about you as the show goes on. There's one more person for me to introduce -
0:02:25 > 0:02:30- a man who lives and breathes obscurity. He's my Pointless friend, he's Richard.- Hello!
0:02:34 > 0:02:37Living obscurity, we all know about that.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Breathing it, though, Richard - is that wise?
0:02:39 > 0:02:42It's like breathing at altitude. You need training.
0:02:42 > 0:02:47That aside, we've got a great show today. We've only got one returning pair -
0:02:47 > 0:02:52Simon and Kay-Leigh - but I thought there were rather good last time, so I suspect they might do quite well.
0:02:52 > 0:02:57Charlotte, you're a history teacher. We've had a lot of very good, quite tough history questions recently,
0:02:57 > 0:02:59but none today, I'm afraid.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02- Oh!- It's good in a way because that would be a bit too much pressure for you.
0:03:02 > 0:03:08Thanks very much, Richard. We've put our questions to 100 people before the show, but this is Pointless,
0:03:08 > 0:03:10so we're after the obscure answers they didn't get.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12To stay in with a chance of winning the jackpot,
0:03:12 > 0:03:16all our players need to do is score as few points as they possibly can.
0:03:16 > 0:03:21What everyone's trying to do is find a pointless answer - an answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25Each time that happens, if it happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Nobody has won the jackpot for ages now.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30We will add another £1,000 to that,
0:03:30 > 0:03:34so today's jackpot starts off at £6,000.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36APPLAUSE
0:03:36 > 0:03:37Let's play Pointless.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Now, in the first round, each of you
0:03:45 > 0:03:49must give me one answer, and you cannot confer with your partner.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Whichever team has the highest score
0:03:51 > 0:03:53at the end of the round will be eliminated.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Just make sure it's not you.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59Our category for round one is...
0:04:01 > 0:04:06Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going second?
0:04:06 > 0:04:09And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14OK, let's find out what the question is.
0:04:14 > 0:04:19We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many Disney heroines as they could.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Disney heroines. Richard...
0:04:22 > 0:04:26I don't want to blind anyone with science, but all the correct answers in this round are
0:04:26 > 0:04:29female characters who've appeared in a Disney feature film.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36If anybody - Rohan, anybody - if you want me to go through that again,
0:04:36 > 0:04:38just to make sure you got it, let me know.
0:04:38 > 0:04:46- OK, thanks!- OK. Rohan and Nigel, you all drew lots before the show, and you get to start this time.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50In round one, I'm going to give you a choice of seven possible answers on the board in each pass.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53First set of seven answers reads like this...
0:05:15 > 0:05:18I can tell you at least one of those answers is Pointless.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21And also at least one of those answers is incorrect.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24If you pick that, you will score the maximum of 100 points.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26There you are, you've been told. Rohan,
0:05:26 > 0:05:30do you get animated about animated films?
0:05:30 > 0:05:34Erm, so-so. When I was younger, yeah.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Do you remember characters from animated films?
0:05:37 > 0:05:41I do, yes, but the ones I remember I think will be the most obvious.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45So I'm trying to think of the least obvious, obviously.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49- You're trying to find the most obscure one, which will score you the fewest points.- Yes.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53I could play it safe, but I think because I'm going first, I won't.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57- Also because you intend to marry Nigel's daughter.- Yeah!
0:05:57 > 0:06:02Erm, I'll go with Jasmine.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05OK - do you know who Jasmine...?
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Yeah, I think she's in Aladdin.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11Mmm... OK, Jasmine, you're saying.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Let's see if that's a correct answer.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16If it is, let's see how many people said it. Jasmine...
0:06:16 > 0:06:18It is correct!
0:06:25 > 0:06:29Good answer, Rohan. That scores you 10 points.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32- Jasmine, Richard...? - Yes, very good start to the show.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36Well done, Rohan. Absolutely, she's Aladdin's love interest in Aladdin.
0:06:36 > 0:06:41Very good. So, we are looking for Disney heroines, Sandie.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Are you good on your Disney heroines?
0:06:43 > 0:06:46Er, well, I'm the oldest of six, so I grew up watching the Disney films.
0:06:46 > 0:06:52- Presumably you kept on watching them as your younger five siblings grew up as well.- Oh, yes.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54So you know these people well?
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Erm, well, I hope I do.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01I'm debating between two which I think are pretty unknown.
0:07:02 > 0:07:08I'm going to go for Perdita - I think that was 101 Dalmatians.
0:07:08 > 0:07:13Perdita. Perd-eeta. Perd-eeta - I've just learnt something!
0:07:13 > 0:07:18Right, let's see if Perdita is the right answer. If it is, let's see how many people said it. Perdita...
0:07:21 > 0:07:22It's right.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28Oh, it's a good answer, Sandie. Look at that!
0:07:29 > 0:07:32Two points!
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Very good answer. Richard, Perdita...
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Yeah, really good answer. And Perdita, as you say,
0:07:36 > 0:07:40- she's a Dalmatian. She's married to Pongo.- Indeed.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42That's in a world where dogs get married.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46Which is a world I would like to live in. It would be nice, wouldn't it?
0:07:46 > 0:07:50- Yeah, dog weddings! - Driving through town centres seeing dog weddings in the town hall.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52You may now sniff the bride.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56LAUGHTER
0:07:58 > 0:08:02OK, we are looking for Disney heroines.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06Kay-Leigh. Kay-Leigh, is this a good subject for you, Kay-Leigh?
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Erm, it wasn't too bad,
0:08:08 > 0:08:11although I actually wanted to go for the one that Sandie's just chosen.
0:08:11 > 0:08:12So I'm debating now whether to...
0:08:12 > 0:08:15How many on there do you not know?
0:08:15 > 0:08:18Erm, I want to say two-and-a-half, but...
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Two I've definitely not heard of,
0:08:20 > 0:08:23two I definitely have, and the other one is going to be the one
0:08:23 > 0:08:25I will go for I think.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27I hope it's not wrong -
0:08:27 > 0:08:30- I'm going to go for Duchess. - What do you think Duchess is?
0:08:30 > 0:08:34I have no idea. It sounds like a dog's name, possibly Lady And The Tramp.
0:08:34 > 0:08:35But I don't know if she was called Lady.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Good thinking, I like the sound of that.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said it...
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Duchess...
0:08:42 > 0:08:43It's right!
0:08:48 > 0:08:49Another low score.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Yes!
0:08:52 > 0:08:57The lowest possible score. That's a pointless answer, it adds £250 to the jackpot,
0:08:57 > 0:09:00taking the total up to £6,250,
0:09:00 > 0:09:02and it scores you nothing. Very good.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Yes, very good start, Kay-Leigh.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08She's not from Lady And The Tramp, though, she's from The Aristocats. She's a pedigree cat.
0:09:08 > 0:09:14Now, then, Scott, you are the last person to have this selection of names.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16It's not my specialist subject.
0:09:16 > 0:09:22I believe Ariel to be from a Disney film, and Cinderella.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26I'm going to go for Ariel, who I believe is in The Little Mermaid.
0:09:26 > 0:09:32Ariel, from The Little Mermaid. Let's see if that's right and if so, how many people said it.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Not a bad answer.
0:09:41 > 0:09:42That scores you 18, Scott.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Ariel, Richard...
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Well played, Scott. Better safe than sorry.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Ariel is not only from The Little Mermaid, she is The Little Mermaid.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53Let's go through the rest of the board, though.
0:09:53 > 0:09:59There's an obvious one there, Cinderella - that would have scored you 48 points.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Out of the other two, Tamara Scheer and Helen Parr -
0:10:01 > 0:10:05one of those is pointless, and one of those is incorrect. What do you think?
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Helen Parr is going to be a Disney character.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Yes, Helen Power is in fact Elastigirl,
0:10:10 > 0:10:12the mother from The Incredibles,
0:10:12 > 0:10:16and would have been a pointless answer, so well done if you got that.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20That would have added £250 to the jackpot. Tamara Scheer is Walt Disney's granddaughter.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23We're halfway through the round, so let's take a look at the scores.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27Pretty low-scoring round there, especially from Kay-Leigh and Simon.
0:10:27 > 0:10:32What a great answer that was - Duchess. Sandie and Charlotte looking great on two.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Another brilliant answer -
0:10:34 > 0:10:35Rohan, well done.
0:10:35 > 0:10:3810 is probably going to see you through.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42Scott, good answer on 18. However, you are the highest scorer by a bit of a margin.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45You're eight points clear of the field.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49So yes, Lauren - no pressure, but let's have a pointless.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51OK, we're going to come back down the line.
0:10:51 > 0:10:55Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:10:56 > 0:10:59OK, we're going to put seven more answers on the board.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02We are looking for Disney heroines, and here's your list.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23I can tell you that at least one of those answers is pointless,
0:11:23 > 0:11:28and at least one of those answers is incorrect, so try and avoid those.
0:11:28 > 0:11:33Right, Lauren - you are on 18, you are the high scorers.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37- This is not a good round for me. - Oh, really?- No.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41- What would have been a good round for you?- Well, anything.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45Anything but Disney. I would have thought this would be everyone's first choice.
0:11:45 > 0:11:50- Disney!- Literally anything but Disney, though, you'd be...? So, the rest of the show...
0:11:50 > 0:11:57Oh, no, no, no! But, erm, I recognise some very obvious ones.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01But because we need the points, I'm going to go for
0:12:01 > 0:12:03one that I'm not sure, but...
0:12:03 > 0:12:05- Scott, what is that face? - Is he pulling a face?!
0:12:05 > 0:12:09- It's one of fear. - You get that a lot.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12Erm, Princess Tiaamii, I'm going to go.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14- I've no idea.- Princess Tiaamii.
0:12:14 > 0:12:19OK, there's no red line for you because you are the high scorers.
0:12:19 > 0:12:26Let's see if Princess Tiaamii is right, and if so, how many people said it. Princess Tiaamii...
0:12:32 > 0:12:34I've got it over with for everyone!
0:12:34 > 0:12:40Unfortunately, Princess Tiaamii is not a correct answer. Richard...
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Yeah, I'm afraid Princess Tiaamii is actually Jordan's daughter.
0:12:43 > 0:12:48There's a Princess Tiana in Princess And The Frog,
0:12:48 > 0:12:52but Princess Tiaamii is very much all Jordan's creation.
0:12:52 > 0:12:56- Blimey. Double A, three Is. This is a Scrabble mess.- Yeah.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59It's a lovely way to name a child(!)
0:12:59 > 0:13:01- Isn't it? - Like your youngest - Farangong.
0:13:01 > 0:13:02LAUGHTER
0:13:02 > 0:13:04You think Farangong's a funny name, do you?
0:13:04 > 0:13:08I don't. A lot of the backstage people are saying yes,
0:13:08 > 0:13:10it's an unusual name.
0:13:10 > 0:13:16But he's an unusual child. It sort of suits him.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18- Erm, Lauren, you... - You got a lot of chat out of it,
0:13:18 > 0:13:24- didn't you?! - We'll get check out of anything, don't you worry about that.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28As you were implying, the writing is in fact on the wall.
0:13:28 > 0:13:33You have gone, I'm afraid, irretrievably ahead.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Remember, we are looking for Disney heroines.
0:13:36 > 0:13:37Simon - Kay-Leigh did fantastically well.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39She pulled a Pointless out of the bag.
0:13:39 > 0:13:44You're looking at a list of six potential answers there -
0:13:44 > 0:13:45what are you going to give me?
0:13:45 > 0:13:49Erm, I'm glad the pressure's off me, actually,
0:13:49 > 0:13:51cos I only know a couple of the obvious ones.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54So I'm going to... Knowing that I can get it wrong and still go through,
0:13:54 > 0:13:56I'm going to take a guess...
0:13:56 > 0:13:58- Find a pointless answer. - I'll go for Belle.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02You're going for Belle. OK, there is Belle.
0:14:02 > 0:14:07- I think that possibly is Lady And The Tramp.- Kay-Leigh's shaking her head.
0:14:07 > 0:14:08Is Belle right, do you think?
0:14:08 > 0:14:11It's right, but I don't think it's Lady And The Tramp,
0:14:11 > 0:14:13it's Beauty And The Beast.
0:14:13 > 0:14:14No red line for you, obviously,
0:14:14 > 0:14:18because you're through. Let's see if it's right, and how many people said Belle.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22It's a right answer...
0:14:27 > 0:14:2914 - not a bad answer, Simon.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32That gives you a total of 14.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36- Belle...- Well, to quote Kay-Leigh - it's right, but it's not from Lady And The Tramp,
0:14:36 > 0:14:42- it's from Beauty And The Beast. Word perfect.- Very good.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45Now, Charlotte - we are looking for Disney heroines.
0:14:45 > 0:14:50As we can't go out, I'll take a shot at Cammy.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54Cammy. Let's see if it's the correct answer, and if it is, let's see how many people said it. Cammy...
0:14:57 > 0:15:00Bad luck, Charlotte. That's an incorrect answer,
0:15:00 > 0:15:04which means I'm afraid you score the maximum of 100 points,
0:15:04 > 0:15:07- giving you a total of 102. Richard. - That's the right tactics, Charlotte.
0:15:07 > 0:15:11If you can't go out, you might as well try and add £250 to the jackpot.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14Cammy is one of the characters in the Street Fighter video game.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17Nigel - you are on 10, you have a free hand.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Charlotte has very kindly mine-swept for you.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22There's a pointless in there, at least one pointless.
0:15:22 > 0:15:27I'll go for the one that I haven't heard of, then, which is Jane Porter.
0:15:27 > 0:15:32Jane Porter. Let's see if that is indeed a pointless answer,
0:15:32 > 0:15:34and hope that it is. Jane Porter.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40It's right.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Well done, Nigel!
0:15:46 > 0:15:49Jane Porter is indeed Pointless. It adds £250
0:15:49 > 0:15:53to the jackpot, taking the total up to £6,500.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56And it scores you nothing, leaving you with a total of 10.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02- Jane Porter.- Yes, well done, Nigel. That's a nice stress-free way of making £250, isn't it?
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Jane Porter's actually Tarzan's wife.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07- Oh, yes, that's right.- Let's take a look at the rest of the board.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10Snow White, obviously a Disney character,
0:16:10 > 0:16:12but would have scored you a very high 63 points,
0:16:12 > 0:16:14so very well avoided by everyone.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17Pocahontas obviously is another correct answer,
0:16:17 > 0:16:18and would have scored 18.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Wendy Darling from Peter Pan
0:16:20 > 0:16:23would have scored you a very, very small three points -
0:16:23 > 0:16:24surprisingly small.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28Thanks very much, Richard. At the end of round one, the losing pair,
0:16:28 > 0:16:32with the highest score, is Lauren and Scott. Princess Tiaamii, she...
0:16:32 > 0:16:34No, she really isn't.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38She ended your Pointless quest, but only for the first time.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41We will see you again next time -
0:16:41 > 0:16:43everyone gets two shots at the Pointless final.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45Hopefully we will see you for more than round one.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47Thanks. Great contestants.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49APPLAUSE
0:16:49 > 0:16:51For the remaining three pairs, it's time for round two.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01It's time to find out which of the two teams will be going through
0:17:01 > 0:17:04to the head-to-head for the chance to reach the Pointless final.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07The category for round two is...
0:17:11 > 0:17:15Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:17:15 > 0:17:18And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23And the question is...
0:17:27 > 0:17:32We gave 100 people 100 seconds to tell us
0:17:32 > 0:17:37which language they are from. Richard.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40We're going to give you six ways of saying thank you.
0:17:40 > 0:17:45The more obscure ones - and there are some pretty obscure ones in there - will score you the fewest points.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48If you give us an incorrect answer, you'll score 100 points.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50The first six are...
0:18:09 > 0:18:12- That was...- That was good.- ..awful!
0:18:12 > 0:18:18OK, we are looking for thank you in many, many languages. Rohan.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20Well, this is...
0:18:20 > 0:18:24- I mean, there's...- How many languages do you speak, Rohan?
0:18:24 > 0:18:30One. I was going to say two - bad English as well.
0:18:30 > 0:18:34But yeah, no, I think, this isn't a good round for me at all.
0:18:34 > 0:18:39I'm going to go for...gracias.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42- No, merci.- You're going for merci.
0:18:42 > 0:18:47OK... OK.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49- What language is that in?- French.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52French - let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people knew that.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00It's like a correct answer.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02LAUGHTER
0:19:02 > 0:19:05Only... Well, it's two better than incorrect.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08That scores you 98, Rohan. Richard.
0:19:08 > 0:19:12It shows we're a very polite nation, when we travel to France.
0:19:13 > 0:19:18Well, not a terrible score. No, it IS a terrible score, I'm afraid.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20But there we are, it's better than 100.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22We are looking for the languages
0:19:22 > 0:19:24in which these are ways
0:19:24 > 0:19:25of saying thank you.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28- Charlotte. - Yes, luckily, growing up in Cardiff,
0:19:28 > 0:19:30I know that diolch yn fawr
0:19:30 > 0:19:32is Welsh for thank you.
0:19:32 > 0:19:37- Did I say it right?- No. Sorry.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41I think we know that's probably a right answer. How many people knew that was Welsh?
0:19:48 > 0:19:5327. Good answer, Charlotte.
0:19:53 > 0:19:58Yeah, very good answer. Usually, I repeat the answer you've given me. I didn't this time.
0:19:58 > 0:20:03- No!- I thought with Charlotte here, I didn't dare.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06Kay-Leigh - we are looking for the languages in which
0:20:06 > 0:20:08these words mean thank you.
0:20:08 > 0:20:09Although I love how some of those
0:20:09 > 0:20:10look on there,
0:20:10 > 0:20:12I only know for definite one,
0:20:12 > 0:20:14and I don't want to risk it,
0:20:14 > 0:20:15even if there is a two-point
0:20:15 > 0:20:17difference between 98 and 100.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20So I'm going to go for gracias, which I believe is Spanish.
0:20:20 > 0:20:25OK, gracias. Let's see if it's correct,
0:20:25 > 0:20:27and how many people knew that answer.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31It's right.
0:20:31 > 0:20:3468.
0:20:36 > 0:20:41- 68, that scores. Richard. - Yes, a surprisingly low score. Let's take a look at the rest of the board.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44Multumesc is of course, Alexander...
0:20:44 > 0:20:46I could hear Borat saying it, but...
0:20:46 > 0:20:48I don't know.
0:20:48 > 0:20:49It's Romanian,
0:20:49 > 0:20:51so very well done if you said that.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55- That would have scored you two points. Spasiba.- Russian.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58It is Russian, absolutely. That would have scored you 14 points.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01- And Kiitos.- Kiitos.- Yeah...
0:21:01 > 0:21:06- I don't know.- It sounds like a rapper.- Not a very good one, though.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09It's actually how you say thank you in Finland.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11And it would have scored you one point.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13So very well done if you got that at home.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17OK, let's take a look at the scores. We're halfway through the round.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21Rohan and Nigel, the high scorers, on 98. Rohan -
0:21:21 > 0:21:24you've left Nigel with quite a job to do on the next pass.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Kay-Leigh - not so bad there, 68.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30Charlotte and Sandie looking very strong there on 27.
0:21:30 > 0:21:35We're going to come back down the line. Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:21:35 > 0:21:39OK, we're going to put six more ways of saying thank you up on the board, and here they are.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51I will do them one more time.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04I'm so glad people who speak these languages aren't all represented in our contestants -
0:22:04 > 0:22:07they could just point out how terribly I said those.
0:22:07 > 0:22:12Remember, we are looking for the languages in which these words mean thank you.
0:22:12 > 0:22:16You're trying to find one that the fewest of our 100 people said.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19Simon, you are on 68. If you score 29 or less with this answer,
0:22:19 > 0:22:21you are definitely through to the next round.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24- It's a lot of pressure, that. - A lot of pressure.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26It's not the end of the world if you score over 29,
0:22:26 > 0:22:29because the remaining pairs have yet to answer.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32I think I know two of them, but
0:22:32 > 0:22:35there's only one that I'm 100% on.
0:22:35 > 0:22:36It's probably going to be
0:22:36 > 0:22:38high-scoring, but I'm going
0:22:38 > 0:22:40to risk that, and hope that it takes
0:22:40 > 0:22:41one of the obvious ones off
0:22:41 > 0:22:43the board for the other players.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Good tactic.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48So I'm going to go with, "Danke."
0:22:48 > 0:22:52And if my memory of school is correct, it's German.
0:22:52 > 0:22:58OK, there is your red line - if you come under that red line, you are through to the next round, for sure.
0:22:58 > 0:23:03Danke, you are saying - let's see if it is right, and if so, how many people said it.
0:23:05 > 0:23:06It's right! Ooh!
0:23:08 > 0:23:12I didn't even have time to say, "It's right", before it stopped.
0:23:12 > 0:23:1495. That takes your total up to 163. Richard...
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Yeah, another very, very big score.
0:23:16 > 0:23:22If you ever want to say thank you to a German - who knows, you might, one day -
0:23:22 > 0:23:23"Danke", is the way to do it.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26Thanks very much, Richard.
0:23:26 > 0:23:31Sandy - I'll tell you the good news - you can't lose.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Whatever you say - whatever you say -
0:23:33 > 0:23:40you are through to the head-to-head, because you will never overtake Simon and Kay-Leigh's high score.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42We are looking for the languages
0:23:42 > 0:23:43in which these are ways
0:23:43 > 0:23:45of saying thank you.
0:23:45 > 0:23:46Does that make it
0:23:46 > 0:23:47a little bit easier for you?
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Well, I recognise two,
0:23:49 > 0:23:51now that, "Danke", has disappeared
0:23:51 > 0:23:53off the board, that I actually know
0:23:53 > 0:23:55where they're from.
0:23:55 > 0:23:56So I'm going to play it safe,
0:23:56 > 0:23:58and go with one that perhaps is a
0:23:58 > 0:24:03little bit less well-known, so I'm going to go for, "Obrigado", which I think is Portuguese.
0:24:03 > 0:24:07Obrigado, Portuguese. Let's see how many people said that, and if it's correct.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12It's right.
0:24:16 > 0:24:17APPLAUSE
0:24:17 > 0:24:21Good answer, scores you 26, taking your total up to 53. Richard...
0:24:21 > 0:24:27Yeah, very good answer. Sandy and Charlotte have played the round expertly, have they not?
0:24:27 > 0:24:30They have. They have, indeed. Right, Nigel...
0:24:30 > 0:24:33Yes, so expertly that they've taken my answer.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Oh, no!
0:24:37 > 0:24:39There's one of them which rings a bell,
0:24:39 > 0:24:42but I can't really place the language,
0:24:42 > 0:24:43so I'm going to have to go safe,
0:24:43 > 0:24:44and hope that...
0:24:44 > 0:24:46You're on 98.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48You have to score 64 or less.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51Just to remind you that, "Gracias",
0:24:51 > 0:24:53for example, scored 68.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56So there must be a good chance that,
0:24:56 > 0:24:57"Grazie", which is,
0:24:57 > 0:24:59I think, Italian,
0:24:59 > 0:25:01gets the same score.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04- You're hoping it gets a little bit less, I would imagine.- Yes.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07It's very exciting. Here's your red line.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10Below that red line, you're in the head-to-head.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13Above it, we say goodbye to you at the end of this round.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Grazie, Italian -
0:25:15 > 0:25:19let's see if it's right, and how many people said it.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23It's right.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26You're through.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29APPLAUSE
0:25:29 > 0:25:30Very well done.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33That scores you 58, taking your total up to 156.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36- Richard...- Very well played. I think that's our politest round ever,
0:25:36 > 0:25:41and we end up with a big grazie to the Italians for getting Rohan and Nigel through.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43Let's take a look at the rest of the board.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Efharisto - do you know where
0:25:45 > 0:25:46- that is thank you?- Is it Greek?
0:25:46 > 0:25:49It is. That would have scored you
0:25:49 > 0:25:5114 points. Now, "Dziekuje"...
0:25:51 > 0:25:52Ah, Polish.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54..would have scored you five points.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56- And, "Tanan"...- I don't know.
0:25:56 > 0:25:57Again, very well done
0:25:57 > 0:25:58if you got this at home -
0:25:58 > 0:26:00it's Estonian, and would have
0:26:00 > 0:26:01scored you one point.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04There we are. OK, thanks, Richard. So at the end of round two,
0:26:04 > 0:26:09- the losing pair, with the highest score, I'm afraid it's Kay-Leigh and Simon.- Again!
0:26:09 > 0:26:14- You've been given some duff categories.- Played it too safe on that one, I think.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Did you know any of the others?
0:26:16 > 0:26:19I knew Italian, but I wasn't convinced enough that it was.
0:26:19 > 0:26:24Oh, never mind, you've been fantastic contestants. Thanks so much for playing.
0:26:24 > 0:26:25Thank you very much.
0:26:25 > 0:26:31For the remaining two pairs, things are about to get even more exciting, as we enter the head-to-head.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33APPLAUSE
0:26:34 > 0:26:41We've already said goodbye to two teams. It's now time to find out which of our remaining pairs
0:26:41 > 0:26:45will be playing for today's jackpot, which currently stands at £6,500.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47APPLAUSE
0:26:48 > 0:26:51So, Sandy and Charlotte, Rohan and Nigel -
0:26:51 > 0:26:55you are now going head-to-head on the best of three questions.
0:26:55 > 0:26:56You are now allowed to confer.
0:26:56 > 0:27:01You have to come up with an answer that scores less than the opposing pair to win that point.
0:27:01 > 0:27:07The first team to get two points will be going through to today's jackpot final. Let's play Pointless.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09APPLAUSE
0:27:11 > 0:27:14Here is your first question - we gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:27:14 > 0:27:20to name as many words in the abbreviation, CD-ROM,
0:27:20 > 0:27:22- as they could. Richard...- Yeah.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26Not much to add there - we're simply looking for any of the five words
0:27:26 > 0:27:30represented by that abbreviation, CD-Rom. Which is the most obscure?
0:27:30 > 0:27:32Good luck.
0:27:32 > 0:27:37Sandy and Charlotte - because you've played best throughout the show so far, you get to go first.
0:27:40 > 0:27:45- OK.- Erm, we're going to go for the O in, "Only".
0:27:45 > 0:27:48Only?
0:27:48 > 0:27:49Rohan and Nigel?
0:27:52 > 0:27:54Compact disc random...?
0:27:54 > 0:27:56- I thought it was, "Operating." - The O's gone,
0:27:56 > 0:27:58so yeah, let's go for, "Random."
0:27:58 > 0:28:01- Let's go for that.- R - Random. - OK, "Random", you are saying.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04Let's look at those in the order they've been given.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07"Only", say Sandy and Charlotte -
0:28:07 > 0:28:10let's see if that is correct, and if so, how many people said it.
0:28:10 > 0:28:11Only.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14Well, it's right!
0:28:17 > 0:28:1838.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21APPLAUSE
0:28:22 > 0:28:28Rohan and Nigel have gone for, "Random."
0:28:28 > 0:28:32Let's see if that's correct, and if it is, how many people said it. Random.
0:28:36 > 0:28:40Oh, Random - not a right answer, I'm afraid.
0:28:40 > 0:28:41So, after the first question,
0:28:41 > 0:28:44Sandy and Charlotte are ahead, 1-0. Richard...
0:28:44 > 0:28:48Yeah, Random is the R in, "RAM", but not in, "ROM."
0:28:48 > 0:28:49But if you had got the R in this one,
0:28:49 > 0:28:51you would have just won the points.
0:28:51 > 0:28:55It's, "Read." It's Compact Disc Read-Only Memory.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57Let's take a look at how it would have scored.
0:28:57 > 0:29:00"Read", would have scored you 37 points.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02It would have just pipped, "Only", at 38.
0:29:02 > 0:29:07Memory - 49, Compact - 58, and Disc with 67.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09OK, thank you very much.
0:29:09 > 0:29:14Rohan and Nigel - you have to win this next point, otherwise we say goodbye to you.
0:29:14 > 0:29:17OK, here is the second question - we gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:29:17 > 0:29:24to name as many players with ten-plus Premier League goals as they could.
0:29:24 > 0:29:26Richard...
0:29:26 > 0:29:28Yeah, we're looking for any player
0:29:28 > 0:29:30who managed to score 11 or more goals
0:29:30 > 0:29:32in the Premier League 2009-2010 season.
0:29:32 > 0:29:35Just in the Premier League, not in other competitions.
0:29:35 > 0:29:39Any of those players - there are 14 names on the list.
0:29:39 > 0:29:45Right, Sandy and Charlotte, not looking too thrilled with that question.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48Rohan and Nigel looking quite confident...
0:29:48 > 0:29:50No, they're not.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53Rohan looking quite confident. Nigel, a little bit concerned.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55INAUDIBLE
0:30:01 > 0:30:03- OK, Rohan. - I think Darren Bent scored
0:30:03 > 0:30:06more than ten Premier League goals.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08- Darren Bent?- Yeah.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10Sandy and Charlotte, Darren Bent has gone.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13- Right, OK. - LAUGHTER
0:30:13 > 0:30:15Just so you know.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17Does that mean anything to you?
0:30:17 > 0:30:19- No.- I might have just said, "Blah blah blah."
0:30:19 > 0:30:21You may as well have.
0:30:21 > 0:30:24We're going to go for any footballer that we know the name of.
0:30:24 > 0:30:26Didier Drogba.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29Didier Drogba.
0:30:29 > 0:30:32OK, we have Darren Bent and Didier Drogba.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34Darren Bent first.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37Rohan and Nigel, let's see if it's correct,
0:30:37 > 0:30:39and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41It's right.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45Looks like a good answer,
0:30:45 > 0:30:46going a long way down.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48Look at that - 12!
0:30:48 > 0:30:50APPLAUSE
0:30:53 > 0:30:55Well done, Rohan, good answer.
0:30:55 > 0:30:59Sandy and Charlotte, Didier Drogba - a complete shot in the dark?
0:30:59 > 0:31:02- Well, he's quite good.- I've heard of him, so that's always a start.
0:31:02 > 0:31:06Let's see. Didier Drogba, is it a correct answer, and if it is,
0:31:06 > 0:31:08how many people said it?
0:31:09 > 0:31:11It's right.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16For a place in the final. Oh.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19APPLAUSE
0:31:21 > 0:31:24A good answer, Didier Drogba. A very respectable answer.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26Sadly, it doesn't beat Darren Bent.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29So, after two questions, you are one point apiece. Richard.
0:31:29 > 0:31:35Very well played, Rohan. Darren Bent actually the third highest scorer in the Premier League 2009-2010 season.
0:31:35 > 0:31:40There are 14 names on this list. I know some people will be desperately scrabbling to get them all down.
0:31:40 > 0:31:44There is a pointless answer as well, so let's take a look at the whole list.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56I know the girls will be gutted. You forgot Gabriel Agbonlahor.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58- Oh, no!- He would have won you the point.
0:32:04 > 0:32:06Let's take a look at the top of the list.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21Well done if you got most of those.
0:32:21 > 0:32:25OK, thank you very much. Right. It's come down to the third question.
0:32:25 > 0:32:31Whoever wins this question is through to the final with a chance to play for that £6,500 jackpot.
0:32:31 > 0:32:35OK, here is your third question. We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name
0:32:35 > 0:32:42as many countries that the Andes pass through as they could. Richard.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45Yeah, tricky. The Andes pass through seven different countries.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48We're looking for the most obscure of those seven.
0:32:48 > 0:32:52Right, Sandy and Charlotte, your turn first.
0:32:55 > 0:33:00We're sort of hoping more than knowing...Bolivia.
0:33:00 > 0:33:01Bolivia?
0:33:01 > 0:33:04OK, "Bolivia", say Sandy and Charlotte.
0:33:04 > 0:33:06I'm going to leave this to you.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09OK. Well, you've got Chile and Argentina in the south
0:33:09 > 0:33:12and it must go up through Paraguay,
0:33:12 > 0:33:16Peru, Ecuador, Colombia -
0:33:16 > 0:33:18six - Bolivia - seven.
0:33:18 > 0:33:19Take your pick.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21We'll go for Paraguay.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24"Paraguay", say Rohan and Nigel.
0:33:24 > 0:33:29"Bolivia", we will take first from Sandy and Charlotte. This for a place in the final.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32Is it right? And if it is, how many people said it?
0:33:33 > 0:33:35It is correct.
0:33:40 > 0:33:4120.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44APPLAUSE
0:33:45 > 0:33:46Good answer.
0:33:46 > 0:33:50A good answer. Is it good enough?
0:33:50 > 0:33:52Rohan and Nigel, let's just see.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54Paraguay, how many people said it?
0:33:54 > 0:33:56Is it correct?
0:33:59 > 0:34:01No!
0:34:03 > 0:34:06I'm afraid Paraguay is an incorrect answer.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08So, after three questions,
0:34:08 > 0:34:10Sandy and Charlotte are through to
0:34:10 > 0:34:12the final 2 - 1. Well done. Richard.
0:34:12 > 0:34:17Nigel, you just took us on a tour of South America of the Andes.
0:34:17 > 0:34:22Every single country you mentioned is on this list apart from Paraguay.
0:34:22 > 0:34:23It's the one you missed. I'm so sorry.
0:34:23 > 0:34:25Let's take a look at the whole list.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27A couple of them would
0:34:27 > 0:34:29have won it for you as well.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44Bad luck, Rohan and Nigel.
0:34:44 > 0:34:47You are the losing pair at the end of the head-to-head.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50Why did you think Paraguay, I wonder?
0:34:50 > 0:34:55Well, I knew it was down there and I just didn't take the Andes far enough north to Venezuela.
0:34:55 > 0:35:01- I knew it was down there somewhere. I'm sure there are some foothills in Paraguay.- I bet there are.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03A sort of Andes afterthought.
0:35:03 > 0:35:08Very good. Thanks very much. We'll look forward to seeing you next time. Thanks very much for playing.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10APPLAUSE
0:35:10 > 0:35:15But for Sandy and Charlotte, it's now time for our Pointless final and the chance to win £6,500.
0:35:15 > 0:35:17APPLAUSE
0:35:17 > 0:35:20So congratulations, Sandy and Charlotte.
0:35:20 > 0:35:24You've seen off the competition and you have won our Pointless trophy.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31APPLAUSE
0:35:31 > 0:35:36My congratulations. Now, though, you have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot which,
0:35:36 > 0:35:41at the end of today's show, stands at a pretty high £6,500.
0:35:44 > 0:35:49OK, the rules are very simple. To win the money, all you have to do is to find a pointless answer.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52That's an answer that none of our 100 people could think of.
0:35:52 > 0:35:55We have had two pointless answers on the show today.
0:35:55 > 0:35:59You just need to find one more now to go home with that £6,500.
0:35:59 > 0:36:04First, though, you've got to choose a category, and here are your three options to choose from.
0:36:10 > 0:36:11HEAVY BREATHING
0:36:11 > 0:36:13That sounded almost ecstatic.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15THEY LAUGH
0:36:15 > 0:36:19- We've really sadly revised two of those topics.- Sadly revised?
0:36:19 > 0:36:24- Sadly, as in we know now we're torn. - OK, you're now torn.
0:36:24 > 0:36:28- I think we go for capital cities. - Capital cities?
0:36:28 > 0:36:31- Yes.- Which is Charlotte's particular area of expertise.
0:36:31 > 0:36:33- Yes!- No pressure, Charlotte.
0:36:33 > 0:36:37- No expertise at all.- Right, let's find out what the question is.
0:36:37 > 0:36:45We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many capital cities of former Soviet states as they could.
0:36:45 > 0:36:51- Richard.- We're looking for the capitals of any of the countries which formerly made up the USSR.
0:36:51 > 0:36:55And by country, as always, we mean a member of the UN that's a sovereign state in its own right.
0:36:55 > 0:36:59OK, you now have up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:36:59 > 0:37:04And all you need to win that £6,500 is for just one of them to be pointless.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07- OK, your 60 seconds start now.- OK.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10Tbilisi is the captain of Georgia.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12- OK.- Tallinn is Estonia.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15Yeah, I remember that from the Eurovision Song Contest.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17- Riga is Latvia.- OK.
0:37:17 > 0:37:19Kiev is Ukraine, but that's too obvious.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21Yeah, I know that.
0:37:21 > 0:37:23I think we go for the first two.
0:37:23 > 0:37:25Kiev, I knew that.
0:37:25 > 0:37:29Tbilisi, Tallinn, Riga. I can't think of any other countries.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31That's fine, because we only need three.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34Yes, I know, but I'm trying to think of a more obscure one.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36I think those are pretty obscure.
0:37:36 > 0:37:3930 seconds have gone.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42You've got plenty of time if you need it.
0:37:42 > 0:37:46I'm trying to think what was on the lists.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48Is Moldova a country or a capital?
0:37:50 > 0:37:52I think we leave that there then.
0:37:52 > 0:37:53Yeah.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59Go for those two, I think.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01- They're really obvious. - It doesn't matter.
0:38:01 > 0:38:04- OK.- OK?- Yes. - Shall we stop the clock?- Yes.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07Stop the clock with two seconds left.
0:38:07 > 0:38:11Right. What are the three capital cities you're going to give me?
0:38:11 > 0:38:16- I think that they're really obvious, but Tbilisi.- Tbilisi.
0:38:16 > 0:38:17Tallinn.
0:38:17 > 0:38:21- Tallinn.- And Riga.- And Riga.
0:38:21 > 0:38:25Which of those do you think is your best shot at a pointless?
0:38:25 > 0:38:27- Probably Tbilisi.- Tbilisi.
0:38:27 > 0:38:32We'll put that last. Which shall we put up first, your least confident?
0:38:32 > 0:38:36I think Tallinn will be well known because it's been on the Eurovision Song Contest.
0:38:36 > 0:38:39OK. We will have Tallinn,
0:38:39 > 0:38:40Riga
0:38:40 > 0:38:43and Tbilisi.
0:38:43 > 0:38:46There they are.
0:38:46 > 0:38:51OK, we were looking for capital cities of former Soviet states.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54Only one of these needs to be pointless, remember.
0:38:54 > 0:38:56Only one of them.
0:38:56 > 0:39:00This was your least confident answer.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02You have gone for Tallinn.
0:39:02 > 0:39:06Let's see if Tallinn is a correct answer.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09Let's see how many people said it. Tallinn.
0:39:14 > 0:39:17Well, it's right.
0:39:17 > 0:39:18Down it goes. Tallinn.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20If this goes all the way to zero,
0:39:20 > 0:39:23you leave here with £6,500.
0:39:23 > 0:39:24Oh!
0:39:24 > 0:39:27APPLAUSE
0:39:27 > 0:39:33OK. Five people knew Tallinn. But that's not surprising, as you said.
0:39:33 > 0:39:37People watch Eurovision. That's how people know these things.
0:39:37 > 0:39:40Unfortunately, it is not a pointless answer.
0:39:40 > 0:39:43You only have two more chances to win today's jackpot
0:39:43 > 0:39:46but that gives you some indication of the kind of people
0:39:46 > 0:39:47we were dealing with here.
0:39:47 > 0:39:51We are looking for capital cities of former Soviet states.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54Your second answer is Riga.
0:39:54 > 0:39:55You were more confident about Riga.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57THEY LAUGH
0:39:57 > 0:40:00- -ish.- Let's hope nobody said it. Let's hope it's correct.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03This has to be pointless if you're going to win the jackpot.
0:40:03 > 0:40:08Let's see how many people said Riga for £6,500.
0:40:13 > 0:40:15Well, it's right.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17It's right. Down it goes.
0:40:17 > 0:40:19The last one scored five.
0:40:19 > 0:40:21If this scores less, maybe it will go down
0:40:21 > 0:40:22all the way to zero
0:40:22 > 0:40:24and you will leave here with £6,500.
0:40:24 > 0:40:26Oh!
0:40:26 > 0:40:29APPLAUSE
0:40:31 > 0:40:33- OK.- Riga scored two.
0:40:33 > 0:40:37- We're going in the right direction. - That's good.- We are going in
0:40:37 > 0:40:40the right direction. However, it's not a pointless answer.
0:40:40 > 0:40:45That means you have only one final shot at that jackpot of £6,500.
0:40:45 > 0:40:49We are looking for capital cities of former Soviet states. Tbilisi is your final answer.
0:40:49 > 0:40:55The answer you both said you had the most faith in to be pointless.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58Your judgment's been pretty sound so far.
0:40:58 > 0:41:02You started at five, you've gone down to less than half, down to two.
0:41:02 > 0:41:07Keep up that trajectory and you'll be down to minus one with Tbilisi.
0:41:07 > 0:41:10Right, this is it. £6,500.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13Only Tbilisi is between you and it.
0:41:13 > 0:41:18Let's see if it's correct, and if it is, let's see how many people said it. Tbilisi.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24It's right.
0:41:24 > 0:41:27Is it going to go all the way down?
0:41:27 > 0:41:29There's Euro Disney,
0:41:29 > 0:41:31there's a lot of travelling around
0:41:31 > 0:41:34historical places hanging on this.
0:41:34 > 0:41:36Oh!
0:41:36 > 0:41:38APPLAUSE
0:41:40 > 0:41:48Unfortunately, you didn't manage to find that vital pointless answer, so I'm afraid you don't win
0:41:48 > 0:41:52today's jackpot of £6,500, which will roll over to the next show.
0:41:52 > 0:41:57But you have been amazing and you do get to take home our Pointless trophy.
0:41:57 > 0:42:00APPLAUSE
0:42:02 > 0:42:04Richard, they came so close.
0:42:04 > 0:42:06Yeah, really close. That's tough luck.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09There are 15 former Soviet states and six of them were pointless.
0:42:09 > 0:42:13But most of those were the Asian countries,
0:42:13 > 0:42:15so let's take a look at all six of them.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18Ashgabat, which is the capital of Turkmenistan.
0:42:18 > 0:42:19Astana, which is Kazakhstan.
0:42:19 > 0:42:24Baku, which is Azerbaijan. All of these are pointless, would have won you the money.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26Bishkek, which is Kyrgyzstan.
0:42:26 > 0:42:29Chisinau, which is Moldova in Europe.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32And Dushanbe, which is Tajikistan.
0:42:32 > 0:42:35Very unlucky, but very well done if you got any of those six at home.
0:42:35 > 0:42:41Oh, dear. From your reactions to those, it sounds like you might have said them.
0:42:41 > 0:42:43I learnt all of those.
0:42:43 > 0:42:46And I said Moldova, but I couldn't remember the capital.
0:42:46 > 0:42:47Yes, you did,
0:42:47 > 0:42:50you did. Does that make you feel any better?
0:42:50 > 0:42:52No, not at all. Really, really not.
0:42:52 > 0:42:55I tell you what, those trophies are lovely, though.
0:42:55 > 0:42:58They're very, very nice indeed.
0:42:58 > 0:43:02Unfortunately, we do have to say goodbye to you, Sandy and Charlotte.
0:43:02 > 0:43:06But you've done so well. Fantastic showing. Thanks so much for playing.
0:43:06 > 0:43:08APPLAUSE
0:43:08 > 0:43:10So nobody's won our jackpot today.
0:43:10 > 0:43:17It therefore rolls over, which means on the next show we'll be playing for, wait for it, £7,500.
0:43:17 > 0:43:19APPLAUSE
0:43:19 > 0:43:23- Join us then to see if someone can win it. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:23 > 0:43:25And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
0:43:25 > 0:43:28APPLAUSE
