0:00:16 > 0:00:17CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Thank you very much indeed. Hello.
0:00:25 > 0:00:29I'm Alexander Armstrong and this is Pointless, the quiz show where
0:00:29 > 0:00:32the lowest scorers are the biggest winners. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40So, welcome back to Katy and Rachel. You were on the show last time
0:00:40 > 0:00:44and we give everyone two shots at the Pointless final. Remind us how you did.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Well, we didn't do too well on the last show.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51We did get knocked out the first round. But the way we see it now, we've got nothing to lose.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53We're in it to win it.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57You are in it to win it. Have you been revising over the last day?
0:00:57 > 0:01:02The categories are so random, we just felt like we just need to go with the flow.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04The luck of the draw. What was it that saw you off?
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Breeds of cat.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08MILD LAUGHTER
0:01:08 > 0:01:11If you think that's random, wait for today.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15Hey! But maybe it will be random in the area that you know lots about.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18- Yeah, hopefully.- Here's hoping. Anyway, best of luck to you.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20And next, we welcome Les and Marie.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22How do you two know each other?
0:01:22 > 0:01:26We are married. We met at work and we've been together 13 lovely years.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29Brilliant. 13 lovely years. Les, where have you come from?
0:01:29 > 0:01:31We come from County Durham.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34- Whereabouts in County Durham? - Dalton-le-Dale.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36- It's a small village. - Oh, it sounds lovely, doesn't it?
0:01:36 > 0:01:40I love those le-s. Chester-le-Street, Houghton-le-Spring.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Ah, very best of luck to the pair of you this afternoon.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45And next we welcome back Richard and Mark.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48You were also on the show last time. Remind us how you did.
0:01:48 > 0:01:54Yeah, we was. We got to the second round and then a nasty curve ball of a question on battles and wars.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57- I'm a lover, not a fighter. - LAUGHTER
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Mark, what would you like to come up this afternoon?
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Maybe films or something like that.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06Films. Mark, you've had a fantastic range of careers.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10I've worked for the Royal Horticultural Society.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13I worked with 'em for quite a time. Now I work on London Underground.
0:02:13 > 0:02:18But I've done other jobs like labouring and barman and things like that.
0:02:18 > 0:02:23- So you were outside all that time and now you've gone inside and underground.- Yeah.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25Which do you prefer? Which is your favourite?
0:02:25 > 0:02:27When I was younger, out on the street was great.
0:02:27 > 0:02:32When you're younger, it's all right, but as you get older, all that rain and cold...
0:02:32 > 0:02:35So, now you're down the Underground. But in the summer it's boiling down there.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37That's true. Very best of luck to you.
0:02:37 > 0:02:42And finally, welcome back Tammy and John. You were also on the show last time.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44Oh, I remember what did for you.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Oh, dear. What was it, Tammy?
0:02:46 > 0:02:48The Sound Of Music.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52Yeah, Sound Of Music. And John, you being such a fan and all.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Yeah, huge fan. Musicals.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57- How many times had you been to see it?- 30 or something?
0:02:57 > 0:03:00- Something like that.- And finally, we managed to persuade you
0:03:00 > 0:03:03to turn up not in a habit this time. Which is a turn up.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05Well, very best of luck to you this afternoon.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09We'll find out more about all of you throughout the show.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12There's just one more person for me to introduce.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15He's the man who is an information superhighway of obscurity.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18- He's my Pointless friend. He's Richard.- Hiya.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20APPLAUSE
0:03:22 > 0:03:25½Now you're an information superhighway.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29It's good to know. We've got three returning pairs today, which is very rare.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33Tammy and John were the strongest from last time. They got to the head-to-head.
0:03:33 > 0:03:38But it's good news for Richard and Mark, as there might just be a film question very early on in the show.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40But three returning pairs. Very, very rare.
0:03:40 > 0:03:45- And never ever rule out girls from Swansea either. - I never have. Never would.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Good. I'm saying that more for people at home.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Oh, I see. I thought you were looking at me there.
0:03:50 > 0:03:55In my memory, I don't think I've ever, in my lifetime, ruled out a girl from Swansea.
0:03:55 > 0:03:56LAUGHTER
0:03:56 > 0:04:00- There was that once. - Yeah, there was that once.
0:04:00 > 0:04:05But you know what, she turned out not to be a girl, didn't she? So...
0:04:05 > 0:04:06LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Now we put all our questions to 100 people before the show, but this
0:04:12 > 0:04:15is Pointless, so we're after the obscure answers they didn't get.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17For a chance to win our jackpot,
0:04:17 > 0:04:21all our players need to do is score as few points as they possibly can.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Everyone is trying to find a Pointless answer.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26That's an answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30And each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Now, Dorian and James walked off with the jackpot last time,
0:04:32 > 0:04:34so today's jackpot starts off at £1,000.
0:04:34 > 0:04:39- There it is. - APPLAUSE
0:04:39 > 0:04:41OK, let's play Pointless.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:04:46 > 0:04:51OK, in the first round, each of you must give me one answer and you cannot confer with your partner.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55Whichever team has the highest score at the end of the round will be eliminated.
0:04:55 > 0:05:00And do be careful not to give me an incorrect answer, because if you do,
0:05:00 > 0:05:02you will score the maximum of 100 points. OK.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04Our first category this afternoon is...
0:05:07 > 0:05:10American actors. Can you decide in your pairs
0:05:10 > 0:05:14- who's going to go first, who's going to go second? - What do you want to do?
0:05:14 > 0:05:18- I don't mind.- And whoever's going first please step up to the podium.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21OK, let's find out what the question is.
0:05:21 > 0:05:27We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many Kevin Costner films as they could. Kevin Costner.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Katy, you're thrilled with that. Kevin Costner films. Richard.
0:05:30 > 0:05:34Yeah, we're looking for any feature film made for cinema release
0:05:34 > 0:05:37for which Kevin Costner has received an acting credit.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Not looking for TV films, short films, documentaries,
0:05:39 > 0:05:43anything like that, but voice performances do count.
0:05:43 > 0:05:48There are, as you can imagine, any number of Pointless Kevin Costner films.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50But I've looked on the list, actually.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54There's a lot of films. I think he's made four good films.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57- Four? Just the four?- Yeah.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Let's see if they come up.
0:05:59 > 0:06:04Katy and Rachel. You all drew lots before the show and today you get to go first.
0:06:04 > 0:06:05Katy...
0:06:05 > 0:06:07You look quite happy with that.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Is this a good category for you?
0:06:09 > 0:06:14- Not really, because I don't really dig Kevin Costner, so...- You don't?
0:06:14 > 0:06:18- No, I don't really. - Do you know which the four films are that Richard's talking about?
0:06:18 > 0:06:19I only know one, I'm afraid.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22- You only know one? - I can only think of one.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25- Only one?- Yeah.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28A nice obscure one, from the one you know.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34- Waterworld. - That's where it all went wrong, wasn't it, Waterworld?
0:06:34 > 0:06:37- It's certainly not one of the four I was thinking of.- Yeah.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40OK, you're hoping to score as few points as possible.
0:06:40 > 0:06:45Let's see if it's correct and, if it is, let's see how many people remembered it. Waterworld.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47It could be a good score, this.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50It's right!
0:06:53 > 0:06:56APPLAUSE
0:06:57 > 0:07:03That scores you 39, which is just a little bit more than the number of people who actually went to see it.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07Yeah, that's right. Well done and better safe than sorry. Yeah, when it was produced...
0:07:07 > 0:07:10Until Titanic came out, it was the most expensive movie ever produced,
0:07:10 > 0:07:15but it took slightly less money than Titanic at the box office.
0:07:15 > 0:07:16LAUGHTER
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Very good. A good answer.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22Marie, Kevin Costner. You know all about Kevin Costner.
0:07:22 > 0:07:27I know two Kevin Costner films and Waterworld is one of them.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31- I think he was in The Bodyguard. - The Bodyguard.- Yeah.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35The Bodyguard. You're hoping to score as few points as possible with The Bodyguard.
0:07:35 > 0:07:41Let's see if it's right and, if it is, let's see how many people said The Bodyguard.
0:07:41 > 0:07:42Well, it's right!
0:07:48 > 0:07:50- Wow!- A good answer, Marie.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Bodyguard scores you 29. Richard.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56Yeah, very well done. From 1992, of course. He protects Whitney Houston.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Was that one of your four?
0:07:58 > 0:08:02- Nope.- No.- She could have used him to look after her
0:08:02 > 0:08:04for the sort of ten to 15 years after that film came out as well.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06Where was he then?
0:08:06 > 0:08:13- Making Waterworld, wasn't he?- Yeah! Very good, Marie. Now, Mark.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17- Mark, you're a film fan.- Yeah. - Precisely what you asked for. - Yeah, you're right.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20We've done what we could.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Are you a fan of Kevin Costner?
0:08:22 > 0:08:24- As Richard said, he's made a couple of good films.- Yeah.
0:08:24 > 0:08:30And one that I thought was a really good film and I think it might be a bit obscure was Perfect World.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34Perfect World. Richard likes that. And Richard maybe likes that.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Nod from two Richards.
0:08:36 > 0:08:43You're hoping to score as few points as possible with Perfect World. Let's see how many people said it.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47There we are. That's going to go a long way down I think.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Brilliant answer, Mark!
0:08:55 > 0:08:58Very, very good, indeed. Lovely, obscure film there, scoring two.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01Yeah, not a bad, either. From 1993.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Is it one of your four?
0:09:03 > 0:09:06It wasn't, but it would be maybe four and a half on the list.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09It's not actually a bad film.
0:09:09 > 0:09:10And Tammy.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13OK, remember, we're looking for Kevin Costner films.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16- I actually was going to say that film.- No?
0:09:16 > 0:09:21- Yeah. So you got me.- You're a film fan, are you then, Tammy? - I am a bit of a film fan.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25I've got a few I can think of and I can't decide what one to go for.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29I think I'll go with The Postman.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31The Postman.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34OK. Again, you're hoping to score as few points as possible.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38The Postman, let's see how many people said that.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40It's right!
0:09:44 > 0:09:47- 17! - APPLAUSE
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Very good score. 17 for the Postman.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53- Another pretty rubbish film. - Pretty bad.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Another post-apocalyptic film -
0:09:55 > 0:09:59because he thought, "Waterworld worked so well, I'll be The Postman."
0:09:59 > 0:10:02Yeah, from 1997. So, a very good answer.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05OK. Well, we're halfway through the round, so let's take a look at the scores as they stand at this point.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09Wow! Richard and Mark looking fantastic.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Lovely low score there from Mark.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14Keep that up and you'll definitely be through to the next round.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Katy and Rachel, 39 is not a terrible score,
0:10:16 > 0:10:19but you are out in front. So, Rachel,
0:10:19 > 0:10:23try and think of a nice obscure Kevin Costner film.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Tammy and John, 17. Really not bad at all.
0:10:25 > 0:10:26Les and Marie, 29. Not bad.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30We're going to come back down the line. Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:10:35 > 0:10:37So, John, you're on 17.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39If you can score 21 or less
0:10:39 > 0:10:44with this answer, you are straight through to the second round.
0:10:44 > 0:10:50I would have put films as one of my strong points, but I'm drawing a bit of a blank. I can think of a few.
0:10:50 > 0:10:54I was going to go with The Postman, which Tammy's obviously used already.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57So I'm going to pick one of the ones which I think
0:10:57 > 0:11:00will probably be quite popular, but it's better to be safe than sorry.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04I think it's probably one of the ones that Richard likes.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07I'll go for The Untouchables.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09The Untouchables. OK.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12We are looking for Kevin Costner films.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15Here is your red line. Below it , you are through to the next round.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17You're saying The Untouchables.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Let's see how many people said The Untouchables.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Well done!
0:11:30 > 0:11:32APPLAUSE
0:11:32 > 0:11:36That scores you only six. How weird. Low scorers for all his good films.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Takes your total up to 23. You're through to the next round.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43Yeah, a really low score. Of course, plays Eliot Ness in the Untouchables.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46That is one of my four. It's a good film, isn't it?
0:11:46 > 0:11:47Mm. Very good.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Richard, we are looking for Kevin Costner films.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52- Yeah.- You are on two.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55If you can score 36 or less, you're through to the next round.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58Is your film knowledge as good as Mark's?
0:11:58 > 0:12:01Erm, probably not, no.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05But I've got a film in my mind here which I think could be Pointless,
0:12:05 > 0:12:07but I'm a bit worried about going for it,
0:12:07 > 0:12:09cos I can feel Mark staring at me.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12- No, he's not. He's entirely relaxed. - No, he is. He really is.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14He's entirely relaxed.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16Trust me, he's not. So I think I'm going to play safe
0:12:16 > 0:12:19and probably choose the top one again.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22I'm going to go for Robin Hood, Prince Of Thieves.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26OK, well there we are. There's your red line.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Under that red line, you're through. You are currently on two.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30You want to score 36 or less.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32We are looking for Kevin Costner films.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35Robin Hood, Prince Of Thieves.
0:12:37 > 0:12:38Well, it's right!
0:12:44 > 0:12:48Not bad at all though, Richard. That scores you 40.
0:12:48 > 0:12:49Gives you a total of 42. Richard.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Yeah, plays Robin Hood. Very well-known,
0:12:52 > 0:12:56had Bryan Adams' Everything I Do, I Do It For You as its title music,
0:12:56 > 0:12:58which was number one for four years.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01LAUGHTER
0:13:01 > 0:13:04- Four years.- Yeah, we'll never get those back, Richard.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07- No, we really won't. - Never get those back. OK.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10Not a bad score actually, Richard. 42, not a bad total.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Right, Les and Marie.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Les, you are on 29.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17OK, remember, we are looking for Kevin Costner films.
0:13:17 > 0:13:22You have to score 12 or less for this answer to avoid becoming the highest scorers.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25How much of a film fan are you, Les?
0:13:25 > 0:13:29- Not at all.- Really?- The one's I knew with Kevin Costner have gone.
0:13:29 > 0:13:33Really? We're in uncharted territory now, are we?
0:13:33 > 0:13:35So you have to make up a film
0:13:35 > 0:13:37for Kevin Costner to be in.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Kevin, if you're watching...
0:13:39 > 0:13:42LAUGHTER
0:13:42 > 0:13:43American In Paris.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47It's a musical and I know he's not in it, but I can't think of any movies.
0:13:47 > 0:13:54American In Paris. Wouldn't it be amazing if, as a child, his first credited role
0:13:54 > 0:13:57was as a little gamin?
0:13:57 > 0:13:59- Anyway...- Oh, I doubt it.
0:13:59 > 0:14:0129 you're on. You want to score 12 or less.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04You are saying American In Paris. There's your red line.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07If you get below that red line, you're through to the next round.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10- I think we both know the answer to this.- Good luck.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13An American In Paris, is it right?
0:14:17 > 0:14:19- GROANING - Bad luck, Les. I'm afraid that,
0:14:19 > 0:14:22as you know, is an incorrect answer, scoring you 100 points,
0:14:22 > 0:14:25taking your total up to 129. Richard.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Yeah, sorry. He is American.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29He has been to Paris.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Well, that should count.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34But unfortunately, it was released four years before he was born.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37LAUGHTER
0:14:37 > 0:14:41But he's got a Gene Kelly look about him. You could mistake him for Gene Kelly,
0:14:41 > 0:14:43were you horrifically drunk.
0:14:43 > 0:14:44LAUGHTER
0:14:44 > 0:14:47Right, now, Rachel.
0:14:47 > 0:14:48You have to score 89 points
0:14:48 > 0:14:51or less with this answer. You're currently on 39.
0:14:51 > 0:14:56If you score less than 89 points, you are through to the next round.
0:14:56 > 0:15:00I've no idea at all about this. I'm really sorry.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03Did you know some of the other films that people have mentioned?
0:15:03 > 0:15:07- I've heard of them.- Do you know who Kevin Costner is?- No.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10- Seriously?- I've heard of him!
0:15:10 > 0:15:15Most probably if I'd seen a picture of him, I'd recognise him.
0:15:15 > 0:15:20I'm just going to say Batman, cos I have no idea.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23If in doubt, say Batman. Right, OK.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Well, there's your red line. Below that red line, you are through.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30Let's see if Batman is correct.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37I didn't expect that. I'm quite surprised.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41Bad luck. I'm afraid that scores you 100 points,
0:15:41 > 0:15:44- taking your total up to 139. Richard.- Yeah, again, it's worth a guess.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48The movie Batman was Michael Keaton, but you would think maybe he'd been in one of them.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51- Shall I tell you the four films I think are quite good?- Yeah.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55I think The Untouchables is good. I think JFK is a good film.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58I think Field Of Dreams is a brilliant film.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01- Mm-hm.- Do you like Field Of Dreams? - I do quite like Field Of Dreams.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04- And I think No Way Out is a good film.- Haven't seen it.- Well...
0:16:04 > 0:16:07- I shall.- You see it. Let's take a look at the pointless answers here.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11Well done if you got any of these at home. 3,000 Miles To Graceland, which is...
0:16:11 > 0:16:14They sort of try to rob a casino during an Elvis convention.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18American Flyers, one of his many sports movies. Fandango.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24Malibu Hot Summer, that was his very first film. Message In A Bottle.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27Mr Brooks, where he has a murderous alter ego.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30Night Shift. Swing Vote, which I watched on a plane recently.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34It's a good idea for a film, but really very bad. Almost worth watching.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37And The Upside Of Anger. All of those were pointless answers.
0:16:37 > 0:16:42We've already heard all three of the worst answers, the ones that most of our 100 people gave. I say "worst".
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Batman is the worst answer.
0:16:44 > 0:16:49No, no, I'm kidding! American In Paris is the worst answer we've had.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53The Bodyguard, there we go, with 29. Then Waterworld, 39.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56And, right at the top, Robin Hood Prince Of Thieves with 40.
0:16:56 > 0:17:00Thanks. So at the end of round one, the losing pair with the highest score.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03It's Katy and Rachel.
0:17:03 > 0:17:04Just not your category at all, was it?
0:17:04 > 0:17:09- No.- Katy, you like film? Film, great. Kevin Costner...
0:17:09 > 0:17:12I like Johnny Depp films. I just don't like Kevin Costner films.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14I think the British public agrees with you.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17You've given it your best shot, for heaven's sake.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19- It doesn't make us feel any better. - Doesn't it? I'm sorry.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23Well, you've been lovely contestants. Thank you very much for playing.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25APPLAUSE
0:17:25 > 0:17:28For the remaining three pairs, it's now time for round two.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37There's only room for two pairs in the head-to-head,
0:17:37 > 0:17:40so one team is going to be leaving us at the end of this round.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43OK, the category for round two is...
0:17:43 > 0:17:47Occupations. There you are, occupations.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:17:51 > 0:17:54And whoever's going first please step up to the podium.
0:17:57 > 0:17:58And the question is...
0:18:03 > 0:18:08In this round, we're about to show you the names of some occupations.
0:18:08 > 0:18:16We gave 100 people 100 seconds to tell us the items they make, repair and/or supply.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19Richard. "And/or", first time I've had one of those.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22- "And slash or?"- "And" slash "or". - We're going to show you six occupations.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25The more obscure the occupation the fewer points you're going to score.
0:18:25 > 0:18:30If you give us a wrong answer to any of them, you'll score 100 points.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33OK, here are your first six occupations.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43I'll just read those one more time.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53Now then, Les, we are looking for the things these people work with.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55- Les, what do you do? - I'm a police officer.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58You're a police officer. Whereabouts? In County Durham?
0:18:58 > 0:19:03In Northumbria, actually in the city of Sunderland.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05Very good indeed.
0:19:05 > 0:19:10Do you come across all these occupations within Sunderland?
0:19:10 > 0:19:12A cobbler, cos I walk a lot.
0:19:12 > 0:19:16- Sssh! Don't give it away.- Sorry.
0:19:16 > 0:19:21What? He just passed his shop, maybe. You walk a lot past his shop, don't you?
0:19:21 > 0:19:28- Yes. Which of those do you think is the most obscure, the most obscure one you know?- Erm, I'll say cobbler.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31- You'll say cobbler. - I've said it, so...
0:19:31 > 0:19:33You've said it, so you'll say it.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36There it is, right at the bottom, cobbler. And what does a cobbler do?
0:19:36 > 0:19:39- Shoes. Repairs them, things like that.- Shoes. OK, very good.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43Let's see if that is right and, if it is, let's see how many people knew cobblers worked with shoes.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49Good grief!
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Wow, it must have been a load of cobblers in our 100 people.
0:19:52 > 0:19:57- OK, that scores you 93, Les. High score.- It's a huge score, isn't it?
0:19:57 > 0:20:02I would have thought that was a fairly safe bet, but people know their cobblers, don't they?
0:20:02 > 0:20:06It can also be a drink and a fruit pie, if you're interested, a cobbler.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09Yeah, it can. Very good.
0:20:09 > 0:20:10Mark.
0:20:10 > 0:20:15I'm going to go for milliner.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18- It's a hat maker.- Milliner, hat.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21Let's see if that's right, and if it is, let's see how many people knew that.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23Well, it is right.
0:20:29 > 0:20:3059, that scores you.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Milliner, Richard?
0:20:32 > 0:20:37Yeah, absolutely. Comes originally from Milan, where people who exported fancy goods came from.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39It came to mean a hat maker, a milliner.
0:20:39 > 0:20:44OK. Now, Tammy, we are looking for the things that these occupations work with.
0:20:46 > 0:20:51Erm, I know a costermonger makes stuff that costs a lot,
0:20:51 > 0:20:54so I won't say that, because that's probably obvious.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56What do you do, Tammy? What line of work are you in?
0:20:56 > 0:21:00I work for my local newspaper. I'm not a costermonger.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02- Not a costermonger. - No, I was going to be, but...
0:21:02 > 0:21:07- Do you have stories on lapidaries ever?- No.- Patissiers?
0:21:07 > 0:21:13I'm going to go for a patissier, and I don't know if I'm right or not.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16I'm just thinking kind of like a pastry, cake maker.
0:21:16 > 0:21:21- Mm.- And if it is right, it's probably really high, but that's the only one I know.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25A patissier, a pastry, cake maker. Right, let's see if that's right.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27If it is, let's see how many people said that.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31It was right.
0:21:34 > 0:21:3666, that scores you.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38A patissier.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Yeah, we've had the biggest three answers there by an absolute mile.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44Let's have a look at the rest of the board.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46- A costermonger, anybody? - Fruit and veg.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49Would have scored you five points.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52- Do you know what a fletcher is, Alexander?- Arrows.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55Exactly. That would have scored you a fairly healthy 28.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57And do you know what a lapidary is?
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Something to do with rabbits?
0:21:59 > 0:22:02Sounds like it is. It's actually somebody who works with gemstones.
0:22:02 > 0:22:07It would have scored you four points, so very well done if you got that at home.
0:22:07 > 0:22:11Very good. OK, let's take a look at the scores.
0:22:11 > 0:22:16Very high scores from this first pass there. Yeah, 93, Les.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19That was a massive score for cobblers.
0:22:19 > 0:22:2166, Tammy and John.
0:22:21 > 0:22:2559 for Richard and Mark. Not a great deal between you. Marie,
0:22:25 > 0:22:27you're going to need a really low score to make it through.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29We're going to come back down the line.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:22:34 > 0:22:37OK, we're going to put six more occupations up on the board and here they are.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Let me just read those again.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57I think I was at school with all of them.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01- I was going to say, it looks like a 1950s English cricket team. - Yeah, exactly.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04Remember, we are looking for things that these people work with,
0:23:04 > 0:23:08and you are trying to find the one that the fewest of our 100 people knew. OK, John.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11You're on 66. You're not quite the highest scorers,
0:23:11 > 0:23:16but if you can score 26 or less with this answer, you are definitely through to the next round.
0:23:16 > 0:23:17What do you do, John?
0:23:17 > 0:23:20I sell scuba diving insurance. I work for a scuba diving insurer.
0:23:20 > 0:23:24Get to travel a bit and see a bit of the world.
0:23:24 > 0:23:28Do you have to go and check all their facilities and dive all their sites?
0:23:28 > 0:23:30Just to make sure they're up to scratch.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34Yeah, sometimes and other times you have to work a bit harder.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36- Other times you lie on the beach. - Lie on the beach, yeah.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39Now then,
0:23:39 > 0:23:44we are looking for the things these people do and work with.
0:23:44 > 0:23:48There's one really obvious one there,
0:23:48 > 0:23:53and one which... Well, I'm wondering if it's as it sounds.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56So, does a saddler make saddles?
0:23:56 > 0:24:00I don't know. Let's see. Saddler. There's your red line coming in now.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04If you get below that red line with saddler, you are through to the next round.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07Saddler, let's see how many people said that.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Well, it is right.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16That scores you 60, taking your total up to 126.
0:24:16 > 0:24:17Richard, saddler?
0:24:17 > 0:24:22Yeah, again, a good use of logic and, you know, kept the score down to 60 at least.
0:24:22 > 0:24:27- Yeah, they make saddles and other leather goods for horses, things like that.- OK, thanks very much.
0:24:27 > 0:24:34Richard, you're on 59. If you can score 66 or less with this, you are through to the head-to-head.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38OK, we are looking for the things that these occupations work with.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40What's that list looking like to you?
0:24:40 > 0:24:43- Er, a nightmare.- Really?- Yeah.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Tempted to go for one.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47Erm...
0:24:47 > 0:24:52Again, I think I'm going to play safe and go high and go with a tailor.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54And it's clothes.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56OK, there's your red line.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00Let's see if tailor gets you anywhere near that red line.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03How many people knew a tailor made clothes?
0:25:08 > 0:25:1196!
0:25:11 > 0:25:13Mark looks like he's swallowed a bee.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19It scores you 96, takes your total up to 155. Tailor. Richard?
0:25:19 > 0:25:22The word you're looking for is cobblers.
0:25:22 > 0:25:26It's a big score.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28That is a big, big score.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31Marie, though. It's not all over.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34Marie, how confident are you, looking at that board?
0:25:34 > 0:25:37I definitely know one.
0:25:37 > 0:25:42I think a wainwright is something to do with carts and cart wheels.
0:25:42 > 0:25:47You are on 93. If you could score 61 or less with this, you're through.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50I think a cutler makes cutlery, but that's too obvious,
0:25:50 > 0:25:53so I'm going to go with a cooper making barrels.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56Cooper making barrels, very good. Here is your red line.
0:25:56 > 0:26:00Below that, you're through to the head-to-head. Let's see if cooper gets you there.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02If it's right, let's see how many people said it.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07It is correct!
0:26:08 > 0:26:10That's got it.
0:26:10 > 0:26:1643! That takes your total up to 136. Richard, a cooper.
0:26:16 > 0:26:22Yeah, very well played. From the Dutch word "kuiper," meaning a barrel or a tub.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24But actually the other answers you gave were correct as well.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27A cutler does indeed make knives and cutlery.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29That would have scored you 26 points.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31And wainwright, you were absolutely right.
0:26:31 > 0:26:32It's wagons and things like that.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34Would have scored you four points.
0:26:34 > 0:26:39And if anybody had carried on the logic of a saddler making saddles and a cutler making cutlery,
0:26:39 > 0:26:44then you would have also got bowyer who makes archery bows, and would have scored two points.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48- So very well done if you got bowyer at home. Two points. - OK, thanks very much, Richard.
0:26:48 > 0:26:53So at the end of round two, the losing pair with the highest score, it's Richard and Mark.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56Oh, Richard!
0:26:56 > 0:26:59- Richard!- Terrible. The right questions didn't come.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02- It turns out you knew all of those, didn't it?- Every single one of 'em.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04Right down to bowyer, two points.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08Oh, dear. It's such a shame though. We haven't seen you at your best, have we?
0:27:08 > 0:27:11Not many people do.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13LAUGHTER
0:27:13 > 0:27:15Oh, dear, oh, dear!
0:27:15 > 0:27:18Well, we had film. What would you love to have come up, Richard?
0:27:18 > 0:27:20What's another category that would have...?
0:27:20 > 0:27:23- Sport would have been there.- Sport.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25A bit of TV, musicals.
0:27:25 > 0:27:30- Yeah.- Historical dramas.- Anyway, thanks very much for playing.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34- You have been fantastic contestants. Lovely having you on the show. - Thanks.
0:27:34 > 0:27:38But for the remaining two pairs things are about to get even more exciting now,
0:27:38 > 0:27:39as we enter the head-to-head.
0:27:43 > 0:27:47So well done, Tammy and John, Les and Marie. You've made it through to the head-to-head.
0:27:47 > 0:27:52Only one pair can make it through and play in today's final for the jackpot,
0:27:52 > 0:27:56which currently stands at £1,000. There it is.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59APPLAUSE
0:27:59 > 0:28:02OK, you're going to go head-to-head on the best of three questions.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04You are now allowed to confer.
0:28:04 > 0:28:08You have to give an answer that scores less than the opposing pair and you will win that point.
0:28:08 > 0:28:13The first pair to win two points will be playing for today's jackpot. OK, let's play Pointless.
0:28:17 > 0:28:21Here's your first question. We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:28:21 > 0:28:25to name as many tracks on Michael Jackson's Thriller as they could.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28Tracks on Michael Jackson's Thriller. Richard.
0:28:28 > 0:28:33Yeah, Michael Jackson's Thriller is the world's biggest-ever selling album.
0:28:33 > 0:28:38We're looking for any of the nine tracks included on its original issue in 1982.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40Nothing that's been added, remastered,
0:28:40 > 0:28:44but the nine original tracks from Michael Jackson's Thriller album.
0:28:44 > 0:28:49OK, Tammy and John, because you've played best throughout the show so far, you get to go first.
0:28:49 > 0:28:53We are looking for tracks from Michael Jackson's Thriller album.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57The Man In The Mirror?
0:28:57 > 0:28:59There's a couple. We're not quite sure.
0:28:59 > 0:29:03I think we've had this argument before over this particular song.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06Did either of you buy the record? Do you have Thriller?
0:29:06 > 0:29:07We've probably got it home, but...
0:29:07 > 0:29:11I did check it. I checked it, and I can't remember what it was.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13If someone said to me, "What album was it on?"
0:29:13 > 0:29:16I always get confused with Thriller and Bad, so...
0:29:16 > 0:29:20I think we're going to go with Billie Jean.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22Billie Jean.
0:29:22 > 0:29:24- OK, Billie Jean.- I think so.
0:29:24 > 0:29:27Tammy and John have gone for Billie Jean.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29Les and Marie, what about you?
0:29:29 > 0:29:31- Big Michael Jackson fan. - Oh, are you?
0:29:31 > 0:29:34- But again...- Maybe that makes it even harder.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36- Absolutely.- It means you know all his singles.- Yeah.
0:29:36 > 0:29:38Exactly the same as Tammy and John.
0:29:38 > 0:29:42So I know it was the biggest-selling album.
0:29:42 > 0:29:48- I know it had all of these number ones and I think we're going to go with Dirty Diana.- Dirty Diana.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50Les, are you a Michael Jackson fan?
0:29:50 > 0:29:52When Marie sings it, yes.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54That was such a beautiful answer.
0:29:54 > 0:29:58When you're in the car, she invariably sings.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00I do the driving, she does the singing.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03OK, we have Billie Jean, we have Dirty Diana. Tammy and John,
0:30:03 > 0:30:07let's see how many people said Billie Jean and if it's a correct answer.
0:30:09 > 0:30:10It's right.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23Les and Marie have gone for Dirty Diana. Let's see if that is
0:30:23 > 0:30:27correct and, if it is, let's see how many people said Dirty Diana.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33Oh! Bad luck.
0:30:33 > 0:30:38An incorrect answer. So after the first question, it is one-nil to Tammy and John. Richard.
0:30:38 > 0:30:42Marie, you had exactly the same issue here. It was from Bad, Dirty Diana.
0:30:42 > 0:30:46Shall we just go through all nine and put everyone out of their misery?
0:30:46 > 0:30:48There are six singles on that album as well.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50- There are only nine tracks on the album?- Yeah.
0:30:50 > 0:30:54Nine? How does that work? So just four tracks on one side?
0:30:54 > 0:30:57Anybody under the age of 30 is going, "On each side? What are you...?"
0:30:57 > 0:31:00"What on earth are you talking about?"
0:31:00 > 0:31:03Yeah, so you won't understand that.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06Six of them are singles. Only one of them was number one, Billie Jean.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08But let's have a look at all of them.
0:31:08 > 0:31:12Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' would have scored two points,
0:31:12 > 0:31:13well done if you got that.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16Baby Be Mine with three and Human Nature as well.
0:31:16 > 0:31:20PYT with four and The Lady In My Life with four.
0:31:20 > 0:31:21And let's have a look at the A side.
0:31:23 > 0:31:27The Girl Is Mine, which of course he did with Paul McCartney.
0:31:27 > 0:31:32Beat It, 14. Billie Jean, 29, and Thriller, way out ahead with 56.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35Thanks very much indeed, Richard.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37OK, here is our second question.
0:31:37 > 0:31:41Les and Marie, you have to win this point to stay in the game.
0:31:41 > 0:31:45Tammy and John, if you win this point, you are straight through to the final.
0:31:45 > 0:31:49All right, we gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many
0:31:49 > 0:31:53UK newspapers owned by News International as they could.
0:31:53 > 0:31:57UK newspapers owned by News International. Richard.
0:31:57 > 0:32:04We're simply looking for the five UK newspapers owned by Rupert Murdoch as of April 2010.
0:32:04 > 0:32:07And at home see if you can get all five.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10OK, Les and Marie, you get to go first this time.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14I think so, yes.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16- Les, what are your hobbies? - Reading the newspaper.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19- Really?- Yes, reading the newspaper.
0:32:19 > 0:32:24- Do you ever read the bit at the bottom that says who owns the newspaper?- I wish.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26I think he owns The Sun.
0:32:26 > 0:32:29He didn't own The Star, cos that was Eddy Shah.
0:32:29 > 0:32:31Right. OK, what about...
0:32:31 > 0:32:33- The Sun.- The Sun.- Yeah.- OK.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35- Going to go for The Sun?- Yep.
0:32:35 > 0:32:38We're going to say The Sun.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40OK, you're going to go with The Sun.
0:32:40 > 0:32:46OK, Tammy and John, The Sun has been said by Les and Marie.
0:32:46 > 0:32:48We are looking for newspapers owned by Rupert Murdoch.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51I should know this, working for a newspaper, but...
0:32:51 > 0:32:56What are your thoughts? What do you think?
0:32:56 > 0:32:58Don't give it as an answer!
0:32:58 > 0:33:02No, I'm not. I think News Of The World maybe.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05That was my first thought. He might own The Times as well.
0:33:05 > 0:33:08And that would probably include then the Sunday Times, wouldn't it?
0:33:08 > 0:33:11- We'll go for News Of The World.- I think we'll go for News Of The World.
0:33:11 > 0:33:15News Of The World. Slightly more obscure than The Times?
0:33:15 > 0:33:17- Hopefully. - That's what you're hoping.
0:33:17 > 0:33:21OK. Well, we have The Sun and we have News Of The World.
0:33:21 > 0:33:27Again, Les and Marie, you have to win this point to stay in the game.
0:33:27 > 0:33:30If Tammy and John win this point, they are straight through to the next round.
0:33:30 > 0:33:35OK, you said The Sun. Let's see if it's right and, if it is, let's see how many people said it, The Sun.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42It's right.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47Oh, it's a high scorer.
0:33:48 > 0:33:52Tammy and John have gone with The Sun's sister paper, News Of The World.
0:33:52 > 0:33:57I think we can assume it's right, but let's see how many people said it. 73 said The Sun.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00Will it be more or less who say the News Of The World?
0:34:04 > 0:34:06Good!
0:34:06 > 0:34:08It's all it had to do. 35.
0:34:14 > 0:34:18So after two questions, Tammy and John are through to the final.
0:34:18 > 0:34:22- Two-nil. Richard. - Very well played, Tammy and John.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25Through to the head-to-head last time and through to the final this time.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28And, John, you have been through four of the five for us there.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31It's The Sun, the News Of The World, The Times and The Sunday Times.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34There is however a fifth and it's a Pointless answer.
0:34:34 > 0:34:35So at home, very, very well done if you said
0:34:35 > 0:34:39the Times Literary Supplement. Pointless.
0:34:39 > 0:34:43Sunday Times there on 16. The Times on 32.
0:34:43 > 0:34:49And we've heard those two, News Of The World with 35 and The Sun, way out ahead I'm afraid, with 73.
0:34:49 > 0:34:56OK, thank you, Richard. So the losing pair at the end of the head to head I'm afraid is Les and Marie.
0:34:56 > 0:34:57- It's OK.- Don't worry.
0:34:57 > 0:35:02You'll be back next time. What have you learnt from your first shot at Pointless?
0:35:02 > 0:35:05- Not to say cobblers. - Not to say cobblers.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08You have to take a massive risk. Very best of luck to you next time.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11Thank you so much for playing Pointless.
0:35:11 > 0:35:13You've been great contestants. Thank you.
0:35:15 > 0:35:19For Tammy and John it's now time for our Pointless final and the chance to win £1,000.
0:35:21 > 0:35:25So congratulations, Tammy and John. You've seen off all the competition
0:35:25 > 0:35:28and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:37 > 0:35:41Now you have the chance to win our Pointless jackpot at the end of today's show.
0:35:41 > 0:35:45The jackpot stands at £1,000.
0:35:45 > 0:35:47APPLAUSE
0:35:47 > 0:35:51To win the money, all you have to do is find a Pointless answer -
0:35:51 > 0:35:53an answer that none of 100 people could think of.
0:35:53 > 0:35:57We haven't had any Pointless answers today.
0:35:57 > 0:35:59Find one now and you will go home with that money.
0:35:59 > 0:36:04First, you've got to find a category. You can choose from these three options.
0:36:06 > 0:36:08Golf, classical music, flags.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16- It's like a dream come true for you, isn't it, Tammy?- Well...no!
0:36:16 > 0:36:19Classical music. Right, what's it going to be?
0:36:19 > 0:36:24Your choice because you know a lot about golf and flags.
0:36:24 > 0:36:28- Classical music's probably a "no" for both of us, yeah?- Definitely.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30Golf, my family are in the audience. I played golf yesterday.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33Still feeling the effects, but I like to play but...
0:36:33 > 0:36:35Hang on! What effects do you feel from golf?
0:36:35 > 0:36:37Oh, sore arms and back...
0:36:37 > 0:36:40- I see, yes.- That effect I think, sore arm.- I was going to say.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44So, yeah. I like to play golf, I know.
0:36:44 > 0:36:48I'm a bit of a sports fanatic, but golf isn't one of my big ones.
0:36:48 > 0:36:52Flags, mm? We've travelled quite a bit,
0:36:52 > 0:36:55- so I wonder if that might... I don't know.- Pick flags.
0:36:55 > 0:36:58- We could have a go at flags. - I might be able to help you a bit.
0:36:58 > 0:36:59How far have you travelled?
0:36:59 > 0:37:03- What's the furthest you've been? - We did a round-the-world trip, so...
0:37:03 > 0:37:06- Blimey, you've been everywhere. - We've been to a few places, yeah.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08Flags would be better than classical music, definitely.
0:37:08 > 0:37:12- If we're do golf, that probably just puts it down to me answering.- Yeah.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14So if we go with flags, we've both got a chance of chipping in.
0:37:14 > 0:37:18OK, you've chosen flags. Let's see what the question is.
0:37:18 > 0:37:22We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many
0:37:22 > 0:37:27horizontal tricolour flags as they could.
0:37:27 > 0:37:30Horizontal tricolour flags. Richard.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33We're looking for the flags of any country that consist of
0:37:33 > 0:37:36three unbroken and equal lines of solid colour.
0:37:36 > 0:37:42Flags that have an emblem on them, like Bolivia, or things with coats of arms won't count.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44So just three equal lines of unbroken colour.
0:37:44 > 0:37:46Right.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48OK, your 60 seconds start now.
0:37:48 > 0:37:51Germany. Is Germany one?
0:37:51 > 0:37:53- Horizontal or vertical?- Horizontal.
0:37:53 > 0:37:57- Horizontal.- Yep. Germany.- Holland.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59- Is that white, blue and orange?- Yeah.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01- I think.- Ireland?
0:38:01 > 0:38:03No, Ireland's vertical, isn't it?
0:38:03 > 0:38:08So Holland and Germany. Er, let's go for some obscure ones maybe.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10- OK.- Where are you thinking?- I'm not.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13Different colours, horizontal, horizontal?
0:38:13 > 0:38:15Somewhere like Slovenia.
0:38:15 > 0:38:18- OK.- I don't know what their flag is, but...- Oh, right.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20There's no point going for one that...
0:38:20 > 0:38:22- What else can you think of?- Erm...
0:38:22 > 0:38:26Cos they can't have a logo on them either, so, erm...
0:38:26 > 0:38:28- I can't think. South Africa?- India?
0:38:28 > 0:38:30- Africa?- India, but I think it might have a star on it. I'm not sure.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32Has Africa got lines?
0:38:32 > 0:38:36- Argentina? Argentina?- It's vertical blue and white. It's not...
0:38:36 > 0:38:37- Oh...- Horizontal, different colours.
0:38:37 > 0:38:41So... Let's just pick... So we'll say Holland, Germany...
0:38:41 > 0:38:43What was the other one I just said?
0:38:43 > 0:38:47- Slovenia.- Slovenia. Probably not, but let's have a go.- All right.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50OK, that's your minute.
0:38:52 > 0:38:54- What are your three answers?- Erm...
0:38:54 > 0:38:57I would say Germany would be one.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59I'd say Holland.
0:38:59 > 0:39:04I don't know if there's something else on the three stripes, but I'll say India.
0:39:04 > 0:39:09India. OK, we were looking for flags with horizontal tricolour.
0:39:09 > 0:39:14Now which of those do you think is your best shot at a Pointless answer?
0:39:14 > 0:39:16Erm, maybe India if there's nothing on it, but I've got
0:39:16 > 0:39:19a horrible feeling there might be something like a star on it.
0:39:19 > 0:39:22But we were quite short on answers there, so we'll have a go.
0:39:22 > 0:39:25- OK, we'll put India last then, shall we?- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:39:25 > 0:39:30OK, India we'll put up last. Which is probably your least confident?
0:39:30 > 0:39:32Germany, everybody will know Germany.
0:39:32 > 0:39:35OK, OK. So we'll put them in that order. Germany first.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37Holland.
0:39:37 > 0:39:39Netherlands.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42And India. OK.
0:39:42 > 0:39:46This was your least confident answer.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49You only need one of these to be pointless to win the £1,000 jackpot.
0:39:49 > 0:39:54OK, let's see how many people said Germany.
0:39:57 > 0:39:59Well, it's right. It's right.
0:39:59 > 0:40:04This is your first shot at a pointless answer to win that jackpot of £1,000.
0:40:04 > 0:40:1137 people said Germany. So, unfortunately, that's not a pointless answer.
0:40:11 > 0:40:15You only have two more chances to win today's jackpot. You've been to Germany.
0:40:15 > 0:40:19- Did you go on your round-the-world trip to Germany?- No.- No.
0:40:19 > 0:40:21No one really does, do they?
0:40:21 > 0:40:25Round the world. "Yeah, I went to Germany, Belgium..."
0:40:25 > 0:40:30- I'm guessing you flew rather further afield to start that one off.- Yeah.
0:40:30 > 0:40:32We are looking for horizontal tricolour flags.
0:40:32 > 0:40:36Let's hope nobody said your second answer, which is the Netherlands.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38Germany, 37.
0:40:38 > 0:40:40Netherlands?
0:40:40 > 0:40:42- What do you reckon?- A bit lower.
0:40:42 > 0:40:46Only one way to find out. It has to be pointless for you to win the jackpot with this answer.
0:40:46 > 0:40:52Let's see if it's right and, if it is, let's see how many people said the Netherlands, for £1,000
0:40:54 > 0:40:55It is correct!
0:41:00 > 0:41:01Still going down.
0:41:01 > 0:41:06Your second shot at the jackpot. Into the 20s, Netherlands 14.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08APPLAUSE
0:41:08 > 0:41:12I'm afraid the Netherlands is not a pointless answer either.
0:41:12 > 0:41:20You knew it wasn't going to be pointless. These are the two you thought other people would know.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22Your third answer, though, if it doesn't have a star on it...
0:41:22 > 0:41:26- He's been to India as well. - I spent a couple of months in India.
0:41:26 > 0:41:30There's a very good curry house round the corner from me.
0:41:30 > 0:41:32- It's called the Star of India. - Yay(!)- Oh!
0:41:36 > 0:41:39The bar next door, the Tricolour of India, is also quite...
0:41:39 > 0:41:41Also worth a visit.
0:41:41 > 0:41:45We only have one final chance to win today's jackpot of £1,000.
0:41:45 > 0:41:49You said this was the answer, as long it doesn't have a star on,
0:41:49 > 0:41:52that was your most confident shot at a pointless answer.
0:41:52 > 0:41:57It has to be pointless if you're going to win that jackpot of £1,000.
0:41:59 > 0:42:04Let's hope it's correct and let's hope nobody said it. India.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13APPLAUSE
0:42:13 > 0:42:18Unfortunately, India is an incorrect answer.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21You haven't found that all-important pointless answer,
0:42:21 > 0:42:26so you don't win today's jackpot of £1,000, which will roll over to the next show.
0:42:26 > 0:42:31- But you do get to take home our Pointless trophy.- Yes, that's good.
0:42:31 > 0:42:34APPLAUSE
0:42:34 > 0:42:36So, Richard, what should they have said?
0:42:36 > 0:42:41The Indian flag, it doesn't have a star on it, but it's got a wheel on it, the chakra.
0:42:41 > 0:42:44There's six pointless answers. Well done if you got any of these.
0:42:44 > 0:42:49There's Hungary, which is red, white and green. Luxembourg.
0:42:49 > 0:42:53There's Armenia, which is red, blue and orange.
0:42:53 > 0:42:56Sierra Leone, which is green, white and blue.
0:42:56 > 0:43:02Gabon, which is green, yellow and blue, and Yemen, at the bottom there, which is red, white and black.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04Tough luck.
0:43:04 > 0:43:07Unfortunately, we do have to say goodbye to you, Tammy and John.
0:43:07 > 0:43:10It's been fantastic having you on the show though.
0:43:10 > 0:43:13APPLAUSE
0:43:13 > 0:43:15So nobody's won our jackpot today, so that will roll over, which means
0:43:15 > 0:43:19on the next show we'll be playing for £2,000.
0:43:20 > 0:43:24- Join us next time. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:24 > 0:43:26And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
