0:00:20 > 0:00:22APPLAUSE
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Thank you very much indeed. Hello.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27I'm Alexander Armstrong and this is Pointless, the show where
0:00:27 > 0:00:30the lower the points, the higher the chance of winning.
0:00:30 > 0:00:31Let's meet today's players.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33APPLAUSE
0:00:36 > 0:00:40Welcome, Peter and Adam. You're our first pair today. How do you know each other?
0:00:40 > 0:00:45I had the pleasure of living with Pete when we were both students at the University of Southampton.
0:00:45 > 0:00:50What a burr. You have a burr, Adam. A burr. I've just heard it there!
0:00:50 > 0:00:52- Where's that burr from? - I'm from Cheltenham.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55- Cheltenham. And Peter, where are you from?- Yeovil.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57Oh, my goodness. The West Country.
0:00:57 > 0:01:02There we have them, represented fully here in our first pair.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Well, very best of luck to you this afternoon.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07Hope you have a fantastic time. Welcome, Suzi and Robbie.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09How do you two know each other?
0:01:09 > 0:01:12We're brother and sister. So I've known her all my life - well,
0:01:12 > 0:01:15- apart from three years of it. - Apart from three years of it.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19So...you're the older one, all right, I had to work that one out.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21I am sharp as a tack.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25What are you going to be like as a team? Are you fiercely competitive?
0:01:25 > 0:01:26Yes.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29- Who is the more competitive? I think you are, Suzi.- Yeah.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33- Definitely.- I'm definitely the more competitive but I'm just going to be
0:01:33 > 0:01:36egging Robbie on, cos he's the brains behind the operation.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40- I'm the driving force. - You're the driving force but with actually not much up top.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42- LAUGHTER - Yeah!- Anyway, well,
0:01:42 > 0:01:45very, very best of luck to you this afternoon.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48And we welcome Hannah and Antoinette to the show.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52- How do you know each other? - We met on exchange at university in Canada three years ago.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56Wow. You did a year each, did you, out in Canada?
0:01:56 > 0:01:58- I did a year.- I did six months.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01- You did six months. - Had to leave.- Which six months?
0:02:01 > 0:02:04- It was August to December. - The winter.- Winter.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07She left before it got really bad. She abandoned me.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11"Really bad"! It turned into The Shining out there!
0:02:11 > 0:02:14Well, best of luck to you on the show.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16And Les and Marie, welcome back.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19Of course, everyone gets two shots at the Pointless final.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22This is your second and final shot at it. Remind us how you did.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26We got to the head-to-head, but we're here again.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28- We'll give it our best. - You did very, very well.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30I don't think we saw you at your best.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34I think maybe we'll see you all the way through to the final. Who knows?
0:02:34 > 0:02:37There is just one more person for me to introduce.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40He's the man whose brain is a shrine to obscurity.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42- He is my Pointless friend, he's Richard.- Hello.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44APPLAUSE
0:02:45 > 0:02:49Only one returning pair today. Of course, that's Les and Marie.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52They did rather well last time. And Les is a police officer.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56We like having officers on the show in case of fights and we do have the occasional ruck.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00- Don't we? And that's just us. - Oh, do you remember episode 17?
0:03:00 > 0:03:04- Dear, oh, dear!- But welcome along to the other three pairs.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Quite a tough second question today, I think. Sounds easy,
0:03:07 > 0:03:11but I think it's actually very hard. Nice first question, tough second question, today.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15- Sounds easy, but is in fact very, very hard.- Correct.- Like myself.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Hard as you like.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21I remember when you killed that bear...
0:03:21 > 0:03:23honestly, with one punch.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25TITTERS
0:03:25 > 0:03:26That's right.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Little koala.
0:03:28 > 0:03:29LAUGHTER
0:03:31 > 0:03:35Oh, dear. We put all our questions to 100 people before the show,
0:03:35 > 0:03:39but this is Pointless, so we are after the obscure answers that they didn't get.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42To stay in with a chance of winning our jackpot, our players must score
0:03:42 > 0:03:47as few points as possible, but what everyone's trying to do is find a pointless answer.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49That's an answer that none of our 100 people gave
0:03:49 > 0:03:52and each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55Nobody won the jackpot last time, so we add another £1,000 to that,
0:03:55 > 0:04:00so today's jackpot starts off at £2,000. There it is.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03APPLAUSE
0:04:03 > 0:04:04Let's play Pointless.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12So in the first round, each of you must give me one answer
0:04:12 > 0:04:14and you cannot confer with your partner.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18Whichever team has the highest score at the end of the round will be eliminated.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21Do be careful, because if anyone gives me an incorrect answer,
0:04:21 > 0:04:23they will score the maximum of 100 points.
0:04:23 > 0:04:28OK. Our first category this afternoon is...
0:04:28 > 0:04:29Geography.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first?
0:04:34 > 0:04:37And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Right. Let's find out what the question is.
0:04:43 > 0:04:48We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:04:48 > 0:04:51countries with Z in their name as they could.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Countries with Z in their names. Richard.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Yeah. This is where I really step up and earn my money.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59We're looking for any country
0:04:59 > 0:05:02whose common English name has a Z in it.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04As always, by country, we mean a member of the UN
0:05:04 > 0:05:07- that is a sovereign state. - Right. Peter and Adam.
0:05:07 > 0:05:12You all drew lots before the show. Today, you get to go first.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Adam, you're going to be kicking us off here.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16What are your hobbies, Adam?
0:05:16 > 0:05:20I'm interested in lots of things to do with the Far East, so China and Japan.
0:05:20 > 0:05:25- Have you been out there? - Yes. I lived in China for a year. - Oh, right. Do you speak Mandarin?
0:05:25 > 0:05:26Not really, no.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28That's such a shame.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32- LAUGHTER - That is such a shame. What were you doing there?
0:05:32 > 0:05:34I was teaching English at university.
0:05:34 > 0:05:39- So there are some people out in China who speak English with a lovely Western tang.- I hope so.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42- A little burr there.- Yeah. I hope so.- How's your geography, Adam?
0:05:42 > 0:05:46- Pretty good.- Off the top of your head, how good is your knowledge
0:05:46 > 0:05:48of countries with Z in their name?
0:05:48 > 0:05:51- I will go for Uzbekistan.- Uzbekistan.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53- (That was the one I was going to go for.)- Oh, no.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Suzi's just said, "That's what I was going to go for!"
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Uzbekistan. You're hoping to score as few points as possible.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Let's see how many people said Uzbekistan.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09It's good.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Brilliant answer, Adam.
0:06:13 > 0:06:14Into single figures there.
0:06:14 > 0:06:15Nine points.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17APPLAUSE
0:06:17 > 0:06:20- Uzbekistan.- Yeah. Very good start to the show.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23It's in central Asia, just north of Afghanistan, and it's got a Z
0:06:23 > 0:06:27- just after the U.- Just before the B. Yeah. Just between the U and the B.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29Good score, Adam.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32Suzi, you had one, it's been taken from you.
0:06:32 > 0:06:33Probably stolen from me.
0:06:33 > 0:06:38Yeah. Yeah. That's going to happen all the way through this game,
0:06:38 > 0:06:39right the way back to you, Peter.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43- Yep. OK. Are you well travelled, Suzi?- Yeah.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46- I've been to a few places. I've been to one with Z in the name.- Really?
0:06:46 > 0:06:49- But I'm not sure it'll be obscure enough.- Ah, yes. I see, yes.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51So I'm going to try a different one.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55- Right. What's it going to be? - So, I'm going to try Venezuela.
0:06:55 > 0:07:00Venezuela. OK. You're hoping to score as few points as possible with Venezuela.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04We are looking for countries with Z in the name.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Let's see how many people said Venezuela.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09But it's right.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Very good. Down it goes. 21.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17APPLAUSE
0:07:17 > 0:07:1921 for Venezuela, Richard.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Yeah, well played, Suzi.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24Its full name is actually the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26- Did you know that?- I never knew that.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28There you go. It's still got a Z in it.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32Z just in there after the E and before the U.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Very good answer there, Suzi,
0:07:34 > 0:07:38- you also having a Z in your name there.- Yeah.- Apparently. Hannah.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40- Hi.- Now then.- Yes.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42I know you're well travelled.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44- You studied abroad.- Well.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47He's taught abroad. You've studied abroad.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51Suzi's just been to a couple of countries with Z in their name.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Can you call to mind several countries with Z?
0:07:53 > 0:07:57- I can think of one. I'm not sure of the pronunciation cos the spelling's even worse.- Sounds good.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01- It sounds obscure.- "I'm not sure of the pronunciation." It's going to be obscure.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04Kyrgyzstan. Or something like that.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08Very good. Kyrgyzstan. Kyrgyzstan. It's another of those stans.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11Plenty of them. Basically just go up to Afghanistan, turn left,
0:08:11 > 0:08:16they're all there, can't miss them. Kyrgyzstan.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19You're hoping it has a Z in it. I think it does.
0:08:19 > 0:08:24You're hoping to score as few points as possible. Let's see how many people said Kyrgyzstan.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Could be a nice low score here.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29It's right.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36Down it goes. Oh, Hannah, very good!
0:08:36 > 0:08:37APPLAUSE
0:08:37 > 0:08:41- Kyrgyzstan, scoring you just the one point.- Yeah. A fantastic answer.
0:08:41 > 0:08:46Another central Asian republic. We've been having a lot of fun
0:08:46 > 0:08:50saying whether Zs are in names of countries, haven't we?
0:08:50 > 0:08:53- Yeah.- You know, mucking about, the Z in Uzbekistan.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57- Remind me again, where's the Z in Kyrgyzstan?- Yeah.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59What letters do you imagine that's between?
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Yeah, cos I know there's a Y in there.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04The question is, are there two Ys?
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Kyrgyzstan. I think it goes between
0:09:07 > 0:09:09the Y and the S.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13- That's exactly where it goes. - Y, Z, S. It slips in there.
0:09:13 > 0:09:14APPLAUSE
0:09:17 > 0:09:20Very good answer. Now then, Les.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23I actually volunteered for this category,
0:09:23 > 0:09:25so hopefully I might get one right.
0:09:25 > 0:09:30- Very, very good. Maybe, Les, you might score a pointless answer.- Possibly.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33- You might find the pointless answer. - I don't think... Not with this one.
0:09:33 > 0:09:38Really? Really? Have you got several at your fingers' ends?
0:09:38 > 0:09:42- I've got a couple I can think of. - That's good.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44What are you going to give us?
0:09:44 > 0:09:47- Zaire.- Zaire, or Za-ire, I like to call it.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59It was so obscure it was wrong as it turns out. Zaire. Zaire.
0:09:59 > 0:10:04Unfortunately it's a wrong answer which means you score the maximum of 100 points.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Richard. Richard.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Yeah. Sorry, Les. Zaire has not been Zaire for quite some while.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11It's the Democratic Republic Of Congo now,
0:10:11 > 0:10:15which, however you spell it, doesn't have a Z in it.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18You need the Democratic Republic Of Zongo.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Z instead of C.
0:10:20 > 0:10:25OK. Well, we're halfway through the round so let's take a look at the scores as they stand.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Pretty wide ranging scoreboard.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Les and Marie there on 100.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Marie, you're going to have to pull a nice
0:10:34 > 0:10:39United Nations sovereign state with a Z in its name out of the bag.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Hannah and Antoinette, wonderful answer there. Lovely answer.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45One from Kyrgyzstan.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49Uzbekistan, nice low score for Adam. And Suzi, Venezuela not bad either.
0:10:49 > 0:10:54So yes, Marie, I'm afraid you're the one who has got a mountain to climb.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Right. We're going to come down the line. Can the second players please
0:10:57 > 0:10:58take their places at the podium?
0:11:02 > 0:11:06OK. We are looking for countries with Z in their name.
0:11:06 > 0:11:10And I am absolutely garbage in geography.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12Oh, no, are you?
0:11:12 > 0:11:16Yeah. However, I will have a stab at...
0:11:16 > 0:11:17Tanzania.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20- Tanzania. Have you travelled widely, Marie?- Not to Tanzania.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23Not to Tanzania. OK.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26You don't get a red line because you are the highest scorers.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29You have to hope Tanzania's going to score you as little as possible.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33Let's see if it's right and if it is let's see how many people said it. Tanzania.
0:11:34 > 0:11:35It's right.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Well, that's not terrible.
0:11:43 > 0:11:44APPLAUSE
0:11:44 > 0:11:48That scores you 19, taking your total up to 119. Richard.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Yeah. Tanzania - not a bad answer at all.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53OK. Thank you very much, Richard.
0:11:53 > 0:11:59- Antoinette.- Yes.- Antoinette, Hannah scored you just one point.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03- She did do very well.- That means it doesn't matter what you say,
0:12:03 > 0:12:05doesn't matter, you are through to the next round.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09You'll never overtake Marie and Les and their high score of 119.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13So, go as obscure as you possibly can, safe in the knowledge that
0:12:13 > 0:12:15you can't be kicked off the show.
0:12:15 > 0:12:20OK. In that case, I'm not sure it's correct, but I will try Tajikistan.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22Tajikistan.
0:12:22 > 0:12:28- Yeah.- If that is correct, Richard's going to ask me where the Z is, and I'm going to... Tajikistan.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Yes. It's got lots of good letters in there.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32- Hopefully a Z.- Is there a Z?
0:12:32 > 0:12:37It's one of those countries that does sound like someone's just lent on the typewriter, doesn't it?
0:12:37 > 0:12:39TITTERS
0:12:39 > 0:12:42But which bit of the typewriter?
0:12:42 > 0:12:45OK. Tajikistan. Is it correct?
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Doesn't matter what you score. There's no red line for you.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49You're through, come what may.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53Let's see how many people said Tajikistan and if it is a correct answer.
0:12:56 > 0:13:01Bad luck. Unfortunately, Tajikistan is incorrect, which means you score the maximum of 100 points,
0:13:01 > 0:13:07but thank God I don't have to spell it. Takes your total up to 101 but that's safe.
0:13:07 > 0:13:08You're through to the next round. Richard.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12No Z in it, but it was absolutely worth a go. It's got Js and Ks.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14It's got three Qs, a couple of Xs.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17But no Zs.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20It's just outside Swansea, isn't it?
0:13:20 > 0:13:22- Yeah.- That's right. Yes. - LAUGHTER
0:13:22 > 0:13:26OK. Now, Robbie, you are on 21.
0:13:26 > 0:13:31You have to score 97 or less with this answer.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35I haven't ever been outside of Europe, actually, but I used to
0:13:35 > 0:13:36work for a travel company
0:13:36 > 0:13:40- and I like maps as well. - Very, very good.
0:13:40 > 0:13:46Did people ever come to you and say, "I think next year, we'd like to go somewhere with a Z in it?"
0:13:46 > 0:13:48- No.- Shame.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51There's a whole new opening for travel agents, guys.
0:13:51 > 0:13:52Think about it.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55I'm going to go for Mozambique.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58Mozambique. Look at that. OK. There is your red line.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02If Mozambique gets you below that red line you are through to the next round
0:14:02 > 0:14:05and we will, I'm afraid, be saying goodbye to Marie and Les.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09Mozambique, let's see if it's right and how many people said it if it is.
0:14:11 > 0:14:12There we are.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20Good answer. Scores you 12, taking your total up to 33.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22APPLAUSE
0:14:23 > 0:14:26Very good indeed. Richard.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28Yeah. Very well played, Robbie.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31It's a former Portuguese colony in South East Africa.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33Bad luck, Marie and Les.
0:14:33 > 0:14:37Peter and Adam, you are on nine.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40Great answer from Adam. Uzbekistan.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44Peter, doesn't matter what happens now. You are through come what may.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47You'll never overtake that high score of 119, but
0:14:47 > 0:14:52why not add £250 to the jackpot by finding a pointless answer?
0:14:52 > 0:14:54Countries with Z in their name.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56I'm trying to think.
0:14:56 > 0:15:01I'm torn between one that's near all the 'stans that has a Z in it,
0:15:01 > 0:15:03but if your 100 people with their
0:15:03 > 0:15:07100 seconds whom you asked, if they went through the map in their head,
0:15:07 > 0:15:10then I should go for this one that's not near any of the other countries.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13I'm going to go with the one that's not near anywhere else.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16I'm going to say Belize.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18Belize. Let's see how it did.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Well, it is correct.
0:15:25 > 0:15:26A great answer.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29Oh, look at that, Peter. Well done.
0:15:29 > 0:15:30APPLAUSE
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Belize scores you four, taking your total up to 13. Richard?
0:15:33 > 0:15:39Yeah. Very well played and about as far from Kyrgyzstan as you can get in central America.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41- What was the other one you were going to...?- Azerbaijan.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45Azerbaijan actually would have scored you more points. Nine points.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47Good reasoning.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50Belize, of course, the Z just sneaks in between the I and the E.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54- It's between the I and the E, just two from the end.- That's right.
0:15:54 > 0:15:55Let's take a look at...
0:15:55 > 0:15:58there were actually no pointless answers here at all.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02The very best answer you could have given us was the one Hannah gave us, Kyrgyzstan,
0:16:02 > 0:16:05which scored one point, so very well done.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09And the second best answer is actually Belize, which Peter just gave us,
0:16:09 > 0:16:12equal with, let's take a look at the other low scoring one, which was
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Bosnia and Herzegovina, which also would have scored you four points.
0:16:15 > 0:16:21There are some - actually, the Czech Republic only scored six points. Very, very low scoring.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23There's all sorts of other ones in there - Brazil.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25Let's take a look at the three biggest answers.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28These are the ones that most of our 100 people said.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31In third, New Zealand with 35.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35Now, the top two are the only two countries in the world that begin with Z.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38Do you want to have a little hazard at what those two are?
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Zimbabwe and Zambia.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44Correct. So New Zealand, 35, and then we've got Zimbabwe, 55,
0:16:44 > 0:16:48and right at the top there, Zambia, with 58.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50Very good. OK. Thanks, Richard. So at the end of round one,
0:16:50 > 0:16:54the losing pair with the highest score, I'm afraid it's Les and Marie.
0:16:54 > 0:17:00So then, on that long journey home, back to County Durham,
0:17:00 > 0:17:02who's going to carry the can for this?
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Nobody. We're a team, definitely.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06- Well said, Marie. - That's why I love her.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08- I wish I believed you. - LAUGHTER
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Oh, no, very good. Well, it's been lovely having you on the show.
0:17:11 > 0:17:16I'm so sorry. I thought you were going to go through to the final. I don't know. Well, very best of luck.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20Thank you very much for playing. You've been fantastic contestants.
0:17:22 > 0:17:26But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for round two.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35Now, obviously, there's only room for two pairs in the head-to-head
0:17:35 > 0:17:38so one team is going to be leaving at the end of this round.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40OK. The category for round two is...
0:17:43 > 0:17:48- Animation. Decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second.- Up to you.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57OK. So the question is...
0:18:05 > 0:18:09In this round, we're about to show you the names of some characters
0:18:09 > 0:18:13and the animated films in which they appear. We gave 100 people
0:18:13 > 0:18:17100 seconds to tell us which actors provided their voices.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21- Richard.- Yeah. We're going to give you the name of six characters in each pass.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24The more obscure answer will score you the fewer points.
0:18:24 > 0:18:30If you give us a wrong answer at any point, you'll score 100 points, so be very careful.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33OK. Thanks very much, Richard. The first six are...
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Let me read those again.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03OK. We are looking for the actors that voiced these animated characters.
0:19:03 > 0:19:08- Adam, are you a fan of cartoons? - I'm a fan of Japanese animation.
0:19:08 > 0:19:13Oh, really? This is the highbrow end of cartoons.
0:19:13 > 0:19:14- Yes.- A manga cartoon.
0:19:14 > 0:19:19- Manga, yes.- These aren't really playing to your strengths, are they?
0:19:19 > 0:19:21I think I'll go for the genie in Aladdin.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24- Robin Williams.- Robin Williams.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26Very good. Let's see if that's correct.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30If it is, let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32Robin Williams voicing the genie in Aladdin.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34It's right.
0:19:40 > 0:19:45- 22. Not a bad score, actually, 22. Richard?- Yeah. Well played, Adam.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48During the recording of it, Robin Williams improvised so much
0:19:48 > 0:19:51that Disney had 16 hours' worth of material.
0:19:51 > 0:19:57Thank you very much, Richard. So then, Robbie.
0:19:57 > 0:20:01Robbie, we are looking for the actors that voiced these famous animated characters behind me.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04- Right.- Do you know your cartoons? - I know three of them.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07One of them's gone. So it's a choice between the other two,
0:20:07 > 0:20:11really - which one I think's going to be less known.
0:20:11 > 0:20:17So I'm going to go for Rocky in Chicken Run, who was voiced by Mel Gibson.
0:20:18 > 0:20:22OK. You are saying Rocky in Chicken Run, voiced by Mel Gibson.
0:20:22 > 0:20:26Let's see if that's correct and if it is, let's see how many people knew that.
0:20:27 > 0:20:28It's right.
0:20:33 > 0:20:40- Good answer, Robbie. That scores you 20.- Yeah. Well played, Robbie.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43It was because of Chicken Run not getting nominated for an Oscar
0:20:43 > 0:20:46when lots of people thought it should have been
0:20:46 > 0:20:51- that they introduced the best animated feature - they introduced it the following year.- Really?
0:20:51 > 0:20:56Now, Antoinette. Antoinette, see, I think you know all of this.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58You know every single voice character there, don't you?
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Honestly, I wish I did.
0:21:00 > 0:21:05But luckily I only knew two and only one of them have gone.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08So I'm going to go for Woody in Toy Story.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11- And it is voiced by?- Tom Hanks.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15- Tom Hanks. Have you seen Toy Story 3?- I have.- Did you cry?
0:21:15 > 0:21:21- I only choked up a little. I was on the verge of tears.- OK.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24Well, let's see if that is right. Woody being voiced by Tom Hanks.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27Let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:21:29 > 0:21:30It is correct.
0:21:34 > 0:21:3933. 33 people knew that answer. Richard?
0:21:39 > 0:21:43I cried when I went to watch the most recent one. £4.60 for a tub of popcorn!
0:21:43 > 0:21:45LAUGHTER
0:21:47 > 0:21:50It is a lovely film though. They're all lovely films.
0:21:50 > 0:21:54Shall we go through the rest of the board? I've seen every single one of these,
0:21:54 > 0:21:57as anybody with children will have done. You'll see anything that's animated.
0:21:57 > 0:22:01- Scar in The Lion King, who do you think that is?- Jeremy Irons.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04It is Jeremy Irons - would have scored five points.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08- Rita in Flushed Away.- Kate Winslet.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Yeah. That would have scored two points - another good answer.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13Now, Mr Woolensworth in Chicken Little is a Pointless answer
0:22:13 > 0:22:17so very well done if you got it. Who do you think voiced Mr Woolensworth?
0:22:18 > 0:22:21- Patrick Stewart. - Patrick Stewart, exactly right.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23Very well done if you got that at home.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26We're halfway through so let's look at the scores.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28They're very close. Look at that for grouping.
0:22:28 > 0:22:32Peter and Adam in the middle ground there, at 22.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36Robbie and Suzi, 20. Great answer there from Robbie.
0:22:36 > 0:22:3933, not a bad score for Hannah and Antoinette either,
0:22:39 > 0:22:42but you are the front runners so Hannah, you have to
0:22:42 > 0:22:45look for a really obscure answer on the next pass.
0:22:45 > 0:22:46Are you confident you can do that?
0:22:46 > 0:22:49- I hope so.- So do I. OK. We'll come back down the line.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:22:55 > 0:22:59We'll put six more characters and the animated films in which they appear on the board.
0:22:59 > 0:23:00And here they are.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03Second six reads like this.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19I'll just read those one more time.
0:23:29 > 0:23:33We're looking for the actors that voiced these characters
0:23:33 > 0:23:37and you're trying to find the one the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39So, Hannah, you are on 33.
0:23:39 > 0:23:44You are the high scorers in what has been a pretty low-scoring round.
0:23:44 > 0:23:48You have to score as low as you can to survive for the head-to-head.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52I know a few of those. I think I'm going to go for Charles Muntz in Up
0:23:52 > 0:23:58cos I sobbed my way through the first five minutes and my pizza was cold.
0:23:58 > 0:24:03- Got quite salty.- Yeah. Probably. So I think that was Christopher Plummer.
0:24:03 > 0:24:07Christopher Plummer. Charles Muntz. Let's see if that is correct.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09No red line as you're the high scorers.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13Let's see if Christopher Plummer is correct for Mr Muntz
0:24:13 > 0:24:15and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17It's right.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24Very good answer, Hannah.
0:24:24 > 0:24:29It's exactly what we needed from you. That scored you two,
0:24:29 > 0:24:30takes your total up to a nice low 35.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33- Let's hope it's low enough. - Great answer from Hannah.
0:24:33 > 0:24:37It's the first film nominated for best animated feature AND best film.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41OK. Suzi, you are on 20.
0:24:41 > 0:24:46If you can score 14 or less, you are through to the head-to-head.
0:24:46 > 0:24:50How good is your knowledge of animated films and their casts?
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Well, I've seen five out of six of the films,
0:24:52 > 0:24:57so I can hear all the voices in my head.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59But I only know two of them.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01It's probably the most obvious two.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04So I'm going to have to just hope that my knowledge
0:25:04 > 0:25:07is better than Peter and Adam's.
0:25:07 > 0:25:12I'm going to go for Mr Fox in Fantastic Mr Fox
0:25:12 > 0:25:13who I think was George Clooney.
0:25:13 > 0:25:17Mr Fox in Fantastic Mr Fox.
0:25:17 > 0:25:18George Clooney. OK.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20You're hoping to score as little as possible.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22There is your red line.
0:25:22 > 0:25:26Below that, you are definitely through to the next round.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29Let's see if George Clooney did indeed voice Mr Fox
0:25:29 > 0:25:32And if he did, let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35It's right.
0:25:39 > 0:25:46Down it comes. 23 that scores you, taking your total up to 43.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51Yes. A pretty good answer. Based on the Roald Dahl book.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53- Have you seen it? - No, not yet.- It's really good.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56OK. Now, Peter, 22 is your score at the moment.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59If you can score 20 or less with this,
0:25:59 > 0:26:01you are through to the head-to-head.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04Now, that doesn't look like the expression of a very confident man.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06No, maybe it does.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09Are you weighing up between two obscure answers?
0:26:09 > 0:26:12- Yes.- Good.- Well...- Good. Well, you talk us through the board.
0:26:12 > 0:26:16You're the last person to have this board so talk us through it.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18I think everyone knows Eddie Murphy was Donkey in Shrek
0:26:18 > 0:26:20- so I'm not saying that.- OK.
0:26:20 > 0:26:24Dory in Finding Nemo, I suspect it might have been Lisa Kudrow
0:26:24 > 0:26:27but I'm not sure so I'm going to say King Louis in the Jungle Book
0:26:27 > 0:26:29voiced by Louis Armstrong.
0:26:29 > 0:26:30OK. Here's your red line coming in.
0:26:30 > 0:26:34If King Louis being voiced by Louis Armstrong gets you below that,
0:26:34 > 0:26:36you are through to the next round.
0:26:36 > 0:26:40Is that correct, though? And if it is, how many people said it?
0:26:45 > 0:26:46You're going to kick yourself.
0:26:46 > 0:26:51Louis Armstrong did not voice King Louis in the Jungle Book.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55That scores you the maximum of 100 points, taking your total up to 122.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58It's great news for Suzi and Robbie.
0:26:58 > 0:27:02Tragic news for Peter and Adam. Richard.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05It was a Louis and the incredible thing is, Louis Prima
0:27:05 > 0:27:06was the voice of King Louis.
0:27:06 > 0:27:10And not only that, it would have been a Pointless answer as well
0:27:10 > 0:27:14so well done at home if you got that, would have added £250 to the jackpot.
0:27:14 > 0:27:21If you'd said Lisa Kudrow instead, for Dory in Finding Nemo,
0:27:21 > 0:27:25you'd also have scored 100 points cos it was Ellen DeGeneres for Dory.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28That would have scored you six.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31Donkey in Shrek, as you rightly said, that's Eddie Murphy.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33Would have scored a pretty hefty 55.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35And do you know RJ in Over The Hedge?
0:27:35 > 0:27:37Never even heard of Over The Hedge.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39Over The Hedge. Again, I've seen that as well.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42It was originally going to be Jim Carey but in the end
0:27:42 > 0:27:46it was Bruce Willis, so well done, those who said Bruce Willis, it would have scored you five.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48OK. Thanks very much, Richard.
0:27:48 > 0:27:52At the end of round two, the losing pair with the highest score is Peter and Adam.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55Oh, dear, you went out on the right kind of a limb there,
0:27:55 > 0:27:57just the wrong Louis.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59Did Louis Armstrong at least sing the songs?
0:27:59 > 0:28:01No, he didn't.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03- No. That's Louis Prima. - No. It was Louis Prima.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07What have you learnt from your time on Pointless?
0:28:07 > 0:28:10Everyone gets two shots at the Pointless final so you will be back.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13What are the lessons you take away from today?
0:28:13 > 0:28:15I've learnt that Louis Prima, and not Louis Armstrong,
0:28:15 > 0:28:17was the voice of King Louis in the Jungle Book.
0:28:17 > 0:28:21That's the only lesson you needed to learn. And it's a good one.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23It'll set you up for life. Thanks for playing.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26Sorry to say goodbye to you so early but we will see you next time
0:28:26 > 0:28:29- but thanks so much. Great contestants. - APPLAUSE
0:28:29 > 0:28:33For the remaining pairs, things are about to get more exciting as we enter the head-to-head.
0:28:37 > 0:28:42So well done Suzi and Robbie, Hannah and Antoinette, you've made it through to the head-to-head.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45Only one pair can make it through to today's final
0:28:45 > 0:28:50and play for the jackpot which currently stands at £2,000.
0:28:50 > 0:28:52CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:28:52 > 0:28:56Indeed. Now, you're going to go head-to-head on the best of three questions.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58You are now allowed to confer.
0:28:58 > 0:29:04All you have to do is come up with an answer that scores less than the opposing pair to win that question.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07The first pair to win two questions will be through to the final
0:29:07 > 0:29:10and be playing for that jackpot. OK. Let's play Pointless.
0:29:14 > 0:29:19And here is your first question. We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:29:22 > 0:29:24..as they could.
0:29:26 > 0:29:33- Richard.- Looking for any of the original gang of four who left the Labour party to form the SDP in 1981.
0:29:33 > 0:29:38OK. Suzi and Robbie, because you played best throughout the show so far, you get to answer first.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41THEY CONFER
0:29:41 > 0:29:43OK. Robbie, have you got an answer?
0:29:43 > 0:29:48Yes. I've got an answer. Really don't know this one.
0:29:48 > 0:29:52- What answer are you going to give me, Robbie?- Neil Kinnock.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54OK. You're saying Neil Kinnock.
0:29:54 > 0:29:55Haven't got a clue on this one.
0:29:55 > 0:30:00- Hannah and Antoinette. - I did study politics.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02However, the SDP did not come up.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05No! That wasn't on your syllabus.
0:30:05 > 0:30:09No. I will go back to my university and complain.
0:30:09 > 0:30:13- I don't know, let's see what answer you give.- I'm in your hands. I know nothing.
0:30:13 > 0:30:18I don't think it's correct but I'm sure the SDP and the Liberal party merged.
0:30:18 > 0:30:25So I will just pick someone who I know was a member of the Liberal Democrats, so Paddy Ashdown.
0:30:25 > 0:30:26OK. Paddy Ashdown.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29We have Neil Kinnock. We have Paddy Ashdown.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31Let's see if Neil Kinnock is correct.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37No. Didn't think it would be.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40I'm afraid he never left the Labour party.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43Paddy Ashdown, say Hannah and Antoinette.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46Let's see if that is correct and if so, how many people said it.
0:30:49 > 0:30:53He never left the Lib Dems. Richard.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55Yeah. Did you read British politics, Antoinette?
0:30:55 > 0:30:59No. I did focus on international, so the Middle East, North America.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02You're going to love question two.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04Not really. Don't panic.
0:31:04 > 0:31:08Let's take a look at all four. Anyone who's ever done a politics degree
0:31:08 > 0:31:10will be screaming the answers at the screen now.
0:31:10 > 0:31:14Let's take a look right at the bottom of the list with two points is Bill Rodgers.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17Then Roy Jenkins would have scored you five points.
0:31:17 > 0:31:21David Owen of course went on to lead the party on 14.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23And Shirley Williams at the top there with 18.
0:31:23 > 0:31:27- Those four, have you heard of any of those, Antoinette?- Shirley Williams.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29She'll be glad to hear it.
0:31:29 > 0:31:34OK. After our first question, it is 0-0.
0:31:34 > 0:31:40Here's your second question. We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:31:43 > 0:31:46..as they could. Richard.
0:31:46 > 0:31:52We're looking for the most popular classic authors whose books have been around for at least 50 years.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55There are ten names on the list. There are ten classic authors whose
0:31:55 > 0:32:01books were borrowed more than J R R Tolkien's during the period July 2008 to 2009.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04Essentially, we're looking for the most borrowed books from libraries
0:32:04 > 0:32:07of authors who've been around for over 50 years.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09So the most popular classic authors.
0:32:09 > 0:32:13- And you say Tolkien cos he was number 11.- Yeah. Tolkien was number 11 on the list.
0:32:13 > 0:32:17And this is according to the Public Lending Right Registrar.
0:32:17 > 0:32:19OK.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22From lending libraries across the UK.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24Hannah and Antoinette, you get to go first this time.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26OK.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33OK.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36I can think of an author but I don't know whether he's obscure enough,
0:32:36 > 0:32:40or she's obscure enough I should say, or whether people liked the books.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42So I'm going to say Richmal Crompton.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45- Richmal Crompton.- Yeah.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48OK. Suzi and Robbie, you can talk out loud if you like.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51- I think we should go for a fairly obvious one.- That's true.
0:32:51 > 0:32:55Maybe like George Eliot or something like that.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57- George Eliot.- Needs to be obscure but it needs to be right.
0:32:57 > 0:33:01- Jane Austen. - OK. Let's do that. All right.
0:33:01 > 0:33:03We're going to go for Jane Austen.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05- Play it safe.- Jane Austen.
0:33:05 > 0:33:08- OK.- OK. We have Richmal Crompton, we have Jane Austen.
0:33:08 > 0:33:10Richmal Crompton, let's hear that one first.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12That was Hannah and Antoinette's answer.
0:33:12 > 0:33:14Let's see if it's correct.
0:33:14 > 0:33:16And if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22Bad luck.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25An incorrect answer. Suzi and Robbie have said Jane Austen.
0:33:25 > 0:33:29This merely has to be correct. Doesn't matter how many said it.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31Jane Austen, let's see if that's right.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34It's right. That wins you the point.
0:33:40 > 0:33:4113.
0:33:42 > 0:33:45A correct answer and a very good low score.
0:33:45 > 0:33:50After our second question, it is one-nil to Suzi and Robbie. Richard.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52Let's take a look at the whole top ten.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55There's some surprising names, but some very familiar ones as well.
0:33:55 > 0:33:59Beatrix Potter is a Pointless answer, right down the bottom,
0:33:59 > 0:34:01as is PG Wodehouse, Georgette Heyer.
0:34:01 > 0:34:05And Daphne Du Maurier. All of those were Pointless answers.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08Agatha Christie, of course, she would have scored you two points.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11CS Lewis. Enid Blyton, there she is.
0:34:11 > 0:34:15Ten points, would have won the points. Roald Dahl there, four.
0:34:15 > 0:34:17Enid Blyton, ten. Jane Austen, 13.
0:34:17 > 0:34:21- Charles Dickens top of the list on 21.- Thanks very much, Richard.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23Here is your third question.
0:34:23 > 0:34:27Hannah and Antoinette, you have to win this point to stay in the game.
0:34:27 > 0:34:30Suzi and Robbie, if you win this you are through to the final
0:34:30 > 0:34:33and the chance to play for that jackpot.
0:34:33 > 0:34:34Here is your third question.
0:34:34 > 0:34:39We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:34:44 > 0:34:47- Robbie's delighted with that. Richard.- Nothing to add there.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50Just any of the six words that make up the acronym TARDIS.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53OK. Suzi and Robbie, you to go first.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57Take your pick.
0:34:57 > 0:34:58OK.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00- OK, Robbie.- OK.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03We're going to go for 'relative'.
0:35:03 > 0:35:07Relative. OK. We have 'relative' from Suzi and Robbie.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10Hannah and Antoinette, you can do your thinking out loud if you like.
0:35:10 > 0:35:14The only one I can think of is T which I'm assuming stands for time?
0:35:14 > 0:35:18Oh, I don't know. We've only got that answer so we have to make that up.
0:35:18 > 0:35:19- Yeah.- Time.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21OK. Suzi and Robbie have gone with 'relative'.
0:35:21 > 0:35:23Let's see if that's correct
0:35:23 > 0:35:27and if it is, let's see how many people said it. Relative.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29Well, it is correct. 35.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39Hannah and Antoinette have gone for 'time'.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41Let's see if that's correct and how many people said that.
0:35:41 > 0:35:46This will decide possibly, if Suzi and Robbie go on to the final
0:35:46 > 0:35:48or if you stay in the game.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52Time is right.
0:35:54 > 0:35:5746, I'm afraid though.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00So after three questions,
0:36:00 > 0:36:04Suzi and Robbie are through to the final, two-nil. Richard.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07Yeah. 'Relative' a good answer and 'time' a very good guess.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10There was one answer that would have beaten relative and that's the D.
0:36:10 > 0:36:14- Do you know what the D is? - Dimensions.- Dimensions, exactly.
0:36:14 > 0:36:16Let's take a look at all six of them.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18And how they scored. Dimensions there with 32.
0:36:18 > 0:36:22Relative - 35. In - 36.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24Space - 39. And - 41.
0:36:24 > 0:36:27Time right at the top there with 46.
0:36:27 > 0:36:31And if you did it in that order it would be called a TASIRD
0:36:31 > 0:36:32not the TARDIS.
0:36:32 > 0:36:34Arguably a better name for the thing but there we are.
0:36:34 > 0:36:39The losing pair at the end of the head-to-head I'm afraid is Hannah and Antoinette.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41Dear, oh, dear.
0:36:41 > 0:36:42- Not our finest hour.- Politics.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45I know. I will have to go and hang my head in shame
0:36:45 > 0:36:47but I did do more international relations.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49- Well, that's fine.- Yeah.
0:36:49 > 0:36:53You've done incredibly well. You've come through to the head-to-head.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56What will you be taking away from your first Pointless experience?
0:36:56 > 0:37:00That maybe my three years at uni wasn't well spent.
0:37:00 > 0:37:04OK. Well, we will of course see you again next time
0:37:04 > 0:37:07when maybe you'll make it all the way through to the final.
0:37:07 > 0:37:11You've been fantastic contestants. Thanks so much for playing.
0:37:13 > 0:37:17For Suzi and Robbie, it's time for our Pointless final and the chance to win £2,000.
0:37:20 > 0:37:24Congratulations, Suzi and Robbie, you've seen off all the competition
0:37:24 > 0:37:27and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy. Very well done.
0:37:33 > 0:37:34That's what it's about.
0:37:34 > 0:37:37You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:37:37 > 0:37:40which at the end of this show is standing at...
0:37:42 > 0:37:43There it is.
0:37:43 > 0:37:44GASPING
0:37:44 > 0:37:46The rules are simple.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48To win all you have to do is to find a Pointless answer,
0:37:48 > 0:37:50that's an answer no-one else could think of.
0:37:50 > 0:37:52We haven't had any Pointless answers on the show today.
0:37:52 > 0:37:55You have to find one now to go home with that money.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58First though, you've got to choose a category
0:37:58 > 0:38:00and here are your three options. You can go for...
0:38:07 > 0:38:10- It's just too good to be true, isn't it, Suzi?- It's awful.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13Golf? Classical music? Reality TV?
0:38:13 > 0:38:17We can rule reality TV out straight away, can't we?
0:38:17 > 0:38:20Y... I don't know.
0:38:20 > 0:38:23I think it's going to have to be classical music, isn't it?
0:38:24 > 0:38:26OK. You're going to go for classical music.
0:38:26 > 0:38:28- Best of a bad bunch. - Best of a bad bunch.
0:38:28 > 0:38:31Well, let's find out what the question is going to be.
0:38:31 > 0:38:36We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:38:39 > 0:38:41Wow, there you are! ..As they could. Mozart operas. Richard.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44We're looking for the name of any opera composed by Mozart,
0:38:44 > 0:38:48either in its English title or in its original language.
0:38:48 > 0:38:53We will not accept revisions, just the original Mozart operas.
0:38:53 > 0:38:57OK. You now have up to one minute to come up with three answers
0:38:57 > 0:38:58and all you need to win that £2,000
0:38:58 > 0:39:00is for just one of those answers to be Pointless.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02Your 60 seconds start now.
0:39:03 > 0:39:05BOTH: Right...
0:39:05 > 0:39:09- I can't really help. - The Marriage Of Figaro he did.
0:39:09 > 0:39:14- But that's probably his most well-known opera.- OK.
0:39:15 > 0:39:19Did he do one about soldiers?
0:39:19 > 0:39:20I'm trying to think.
0:39:20 > 0:39:24- I'm making that up. - Mozart, what did he do?
0:39:24 > 0:39:26Operas.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28Anything to do with marching.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31- They've quite often got march in the title, haven't they?- I don't know.
0:39:31 > 0:39:35I know a lot of Verdi operas and Puccini. Mozart, I don't know.
0:39:35 > 0:39:39I listen to Mozart's... Not operas.
0:39:39 > 0:39:40Yeah.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42Um...
0:39:42 > 0:39:44Can we ask our dad?
0:39:45 > 0:39:48There's your minute. Your minute is up. OK.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50So I want three answers from you.
0:39:50 > 0:39:54- OK. We're going to say Marriage of Figaro.- Marriage of Figaro.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56- Merchant of Lyon.- Merchant of Lyon.
0:39:56 > 0:39:58I don't know why that's in my head.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01And we need one more.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03Random.
0:40:03 > 0:40:07Love And Tragedy cos that's what all operas are about.
0:40:07 > 0:40:11- OK.- You never know. - Love And Tragedy.
0:40:11 > 0:40:13OK. We were looking for Mozart operas.
0:40:13 > 0:40:16Let's put them up on the board.
0:40:24 > 0:40:26OK, it is your first answer.
0:40:26 > 0:40:27The Marriage of Figaro.
0:40:27 > 0:40:32You only need one of these answers to be Pointless to win that £2,000.
0:40:32 > 0:40:35Let's see if The Marriage Of Figaro is correct.
0:40:35 > 0:40:39If it is, let's see how many people said it. The Marriage Of Figaro.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42Is right.
0:40:42 > 0:40:45Obviously this has to go all the way down to zero
0:40:45 > 0:40:48if you're going to win that £2,000 jackpot.
0:40:48 > 0:40:51Marriage Of Figaro. Down into the 20s, into the teens.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53GROANING
0:40:53 > 0:40:5411.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00Sadly that's not a Pointless answer, Marriage Of Figaro.
0:41:00 > 0:41:04You have two shots left.
0:41:04 > 0:41:07The Merchant of Lyon you have said. Let's see if that's correct.
0:41:08 > 0:41:11It's your second shot at the jackpot.
0:41:14 > 0:41:16GROANING
0:41:16 > 0:41:18- Wow.- Bad luck.
0:41:18 > 0:41:22That's not a correct answer, so I'm afraid not a Pointless answer.
0:41:22 > 0:41:27Now your third and final shot at this is complete...
0:41:27 > 0:41:29This was a complete punt really.
0:41:29 > 0:41:31..Punt.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33Oh, well, let's just test it.
0:41:33 > 0:41:35Love And Tragedy. We're looking for Mozart operas.
0:41:35 > 0:41:38Love And Tragedy is your third answer.
0:41:38 > 0:41:40Let's see if this is a correct answer
0:41:40 > 0:41:43and if it is, let's see if anyone said it. Love And Tragedy.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46This for the jackpot of £2,000.
0:41:49 > 0:41:50No.
0:41:50 > 0:41:51Bad luck.
0:41:51 > 0:41:52APPLAUSE
0:41:52 > 0:41:57Unfortunately, you didn't manage to find that Pointless answer
0:41:57 > 0:42:00so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £2,000
0:42:00 > 0:42:03which rolls over to the next show, but you have been fantastic
0:42:03 > 0:42:06and you do get to take home our Pointless trophy.
0:42:06 > 0:42:07APPLAUSE
0:42:07 > 0:42:11So, Richard, what are the operas they should have gone for?
0:42:11 > 0:42:14I don't think the Merchant of Lyon exists anywhere.
0:42:14 > 0:42:15I don't think it does.
0:42:15 > 0:42:19It may have been somebody you met in a pub or something.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22- Singing at the time!- Exactly. And Love And Tragedy as well.
0:42:22 > 0:42:26Obviously it's worth a guess. As you say, it is what most opera is about.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28There were a whole bunch of Pointless answers,
0:42:28 > 0:42:30so let's take a look at them.
0:42:30 > 0:42:31We just needed two and we would have been all right.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33Ascanio in Alba.
0:42:33 > 0:42:36Mithridates, the King of Pontus.
0:42:36 > 0:42:39- You're kicking yourself now, aren't you?- Yeah.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42Scipio's Dream was a Pointless answer.
0:42:42 > 0:42:45Oh! The Goose of Cairo!
0:42:46 > 0:42:50Robbie, the Goose of Cairo! Of course!
0:42:50 > 0:42:52So many geese there as well.
0:42:52 > 0:42:54That cheeky, naughty little goose,
0:42:54 > 0:42:56and his little pals, his little woodland pals.
0:42:56 > 0:42:58Hiding in the Pyramids.
0:42:58 > 0:43:02Exactly. Just playing on the Sphinx.
0:43:02 > 0:43:06- The Impresario.- Impresario.
0:43:06 > 0:43:09And La Finta Semplice. All of those were Pointless answers.
0:43:09 > 0:43:11Very well done if you got some of those at home.
0:43:11 > 0:43:15Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to you, but it's been great having you on the show.
0:43:15 > 0:43:18- Thanks so much for playing. Thank you.- Thank you.
0:43:18 > 0:43:21So nobody's won our jackpot today, so it rolls over,
0:43:21 > 0:43:24which means on the next show we'll be playing for...
0:43:25 > 0:43:27GASPING
0:43:27 > 0:43:29Join us next time to see if someone can win it.
0:43:29 > 0:43:33- It's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye. - And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
