Episode 36 Pointless

I'm Alexander Armstrong and this is Pointless,

the quiz where points are to be avoided if the prize is to be won. Let's meet today's players.

Welcome back Ian and Roy. This is your second time on the show.

-Remind us how you did.

-We didn't do so well last time.

-I got caught out on a question on Beano characters.

-And you read the Beano?

I've got a new nickname. Irma Gobb, the character that caught us out.

-She did you no favours at all, Irma Gobb.

-None whatsoever.

-What are you hoping to come up today?

-Sport, TV, entertainment. Not Beano!

It'll be Dandy today.

And welcome to Rich and Kevin. How do you know each other?

Well, Kevin and I went to school together 21 years ago,

then university, and Kevin was my best man a couple of years ago.

For heaven's sake! You're inseparable!

-Where did you go to school? Kevin, you're from Edinburgh.

-Yes.

I went to school in Newcastle.

-It's a hell of a commute!

-That Metro really goes a long way.

-What do you do, Rich?

-I'm a heritage education officer at Gateshead Council.

Essentially, I teach children in the north-east about their own history.

-Which means I get dressed up a lot!

-Kevin, what about you?

-I'm a trade union organiser.

-In Edinburgh?

-Yes.

-What do you organise?

I organise members to look after their health and safety

and represent each other at work.

Best of luck to the pair of you. And welcome, Rachel and Clare.

-How do you two know each other?

-Clare's my younger sister so I've known her since she was born.

-Have you always got on?

-No. BOTH LAUGH

When did you decide you'll probably be fine,

-she was all right as a younger sister?

-When I moved out at 18!

-We've been best friends ever since!

-What do you do, Rachel and Clare?

-I'm an air-traffic control assistant in the control tower at Luton.

-Wow!

-Do they know you're here?

-No. They don't!

-Is someone filling in?

-It is my day off.

-Phew. How about you, Clare?

-I work for the NHS, looking after children. I'm a coordinator for their needs.

-Very good indeed!

Judith and Lawrie, how do you know each other?

We're students at Leeds University. We met in the circus skills society.

-I went to get over a fear of clowns and that's when I met Lawrie.

-You weren't dressed as a clown?

No. I get offended if I'm called a clown.

-I'm a multi-skilled performer.

-A multi-skilled circus performer.

I don't have a small car or red nose.

-Do you touch on clown skills?

-Er, no. I try not to touch clowns.

-Judith, have you got over your fear of clowns?

-I'm fine now. Yeah.

We'll find out more about all of you throughout the show.

There's one more person, the one-man archive of obscure knowledge.

-He's my Pointless friend, Richard.

-Hiya.

APPLAUSE

-Good afternoon. How are you?

-I'm very well.

-You've been an information superhighway. Now you're an archive.

-That's all right. I'll take that.

We've only got one returning pair, Ian and Roy.

You're looking for sport, TV and entertainment.

-The good news is round one's global politics.

-Fantastic(!)

Always like to have students on the show.

-We always do, Richard.

-They rarely win, to be fair.

But even the thought of winning money excites students so much.

It's our first trades union organiser and the first air-traffic controller.

-And a multi-skilled circus performer.

-We've had loads of those.

The amount of clowns we've had on this show!

He's not a clown, Richard. We put our questions to 100 people.

We are after the obscure answers they didn't get.

All our players need to do is score as few points as they can.

You're all trying to find a pointless answer, that none of our 100 people gave,

then we will add £250 to the jackpot.

Nobody's won the jackpot for ages so we add another £1,000.

Today's jackpot starts off at...

AUDIENCE: Ooh!

OK, let's play Pointless.

During the first round, each of you gives me one answer and you cannot confer.

Whoever has the highest score will be eliminated.

And if anyone gives me an incorrect answer, they will score the maximum 100 points.

Our first category is...

The Arab world.

The Arab world, eh, Lawrie?

Just what you wanted(!) Decide who's going first, who's going second.

Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

Let's find out the question.

We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many members of the Arab League as they could.

The Arab League is like a European Union for countries whose people are mainly Arabic speaking.

We're looking for any of the members of the Arab League as of April 2010.

A country is a member of the UN who's a sovereign state. I always say that.

It's the world's worst catchphrase.

LAUGHTER

Before the show you all drew lots and Ian and Roy, you go first.

Roy, how good is your geopolitics?

I'll tell you in about two minutes.

-OK.

-I'm thinking of so many different countries,

but one may be...

I don't know. I think...Libya.

You're going for Libya.

Let's see if Libya's correct and if it is, how many people said it.

It's right.

APPLAUSE

A very good answer, Roy. That scores you 12.

-Richard.

-Yeah, a very good start to the show. Joined in 1953. Libya.

Now, Kevin.

Members of the Arab League. What do you reckon?

Well, politics should be an all-right round for me. I did a degree in it.

But I'm not too sure about this. I'll have a go at Jordan. I think Jordan's in it.

-Whether it's a good answer or not...

-You're saying Jordan.

-Yes.

Let's see if Jordan's correct and how many people said it.

It's correct.

Not a bad answer, Kevin.

-Jordan, she gets about.

-Doesn't she just?

People have heard of her. It was known as Transjordan until 1950.

It was one of the founding members in 1945.

Now then, Rachel. Arab League I know is one of your pet subjects.

-No!

-What could be simpler? Pick a nice obscure member of the Arab League.

Not a good subject for me but I'm going to guess and go for Oman.

Oman.

OK, let's see if that's correct and if it is, how many people said Oman.

It's right.

Our lowest score so far!

-Oman, Richard.

-Yeah. Very, very good answer.

-Is there an Oman Airways at Luton?

-Not at Luton.

Oh, is there not? Yeah, joined in 1971, Oman. Best answer yet.

And Lawrie. Remember, we are looking for members of the Arab League.

Geography is just... I get lost on the way to the bathroom.

Is that in geography these days?

-It probably is, isn't it? GCSE.

-It is. GCSE.

I'm going to go with Sudan.

-Sudan?

-Yeah. It could be completely wrong.

-I've no idea.

-Or it could be rather a good answer.

Let's see if it's correct and if it is, how many people said Sudan.

It's right!

A great answer, as it turns out, Lawrie.

-You're our joint lowest scorer.

-Good. No trouble from anyone here.

-They joined in 1956.

-We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at the scores.

Two fantastic joint low scorers. Judith and Lawrie, Rachel and Clare.

It's a low-scoring round.

Rich and Kevin, surprisingly, 15. You are our highest scorers.

Rich, you'll have to find an especially low score.

Roy and Ian, great score of 12.

Can the second players please take their places at the podium?

Judith, other than circus skills, what are your hobbies?

-I don't really do circus skills.

-Just to get rid of the clown phobia?

-Pretty much.

-What's it called, clown phobia?

-I should know cos I do psychology.

-On every level, you should know!

-I think it's called Cocophobia.

-LAUGHTER

-I think.

-All right.

-Judith, back to the Arab League. How good's your political and geographical knowledge?

-Awful.

It's almost as bad as Lawrie's.

-What do you mean? He scored eight!

-That puts the pressure on me now.

I'm just going to go for a complete guess.

I don't know if it's a member of the Arab League but it's a country.

-I'm going for Algeria.

-Algeria could be rather a good guess.

Your score is eight. If you can score six or less with this, you are through to the next round.

Let's see if Algeria is right, and how many people said Algeria.

There's your red line.

It's right.

Not a bad score at all. Takes your total to 17. Richard.

Very well done. All that worry for nothing. It joined in 1962, Algeria.

Now then, Clare. Rachel also scored eight. Another lovely low score.

If you score eight or less, you are definitely through to the next round.

Another eight from you.

How good is your understanding of the Arab League?

I have nil understanding, pretty much.

I'm likely to say somewhere in Scotland right now.

What's it going to be, Clare?

-I don't know if you pronounce it like this, Qatar?

-Here is your red line.

If you go below that red line,

you are through.

Let's see if it's right, and how many people said Qatar.

It is right.

It's a great answer!

Takes your total to 19. Well done, Clare.

Qatar good answer. Joined in 1971.

Now, then. Rich, you are on 15.

if you can score three or less with your answer -

the lowest score we've had - you are definitely through to the next round.

We are looking for members of the Arab League.

Yeah. On the train down, there was a conversation between myself and Kevin

on exactly which subjects we hoped wouldn't come up first.

-Chief amongst them was geography for me.

-Uh-huh.

Secondly was politics.

I even said, "I hope there's nothing on the Middle East cos it's a blur to me."

So this is a perfect round for me to start off on, especially needing to get three or below(!)

A lot of the answers I had in my head have gone.

I'm taking a complete punt with this.

-OK.

-I'm going for Bahrain.

Bahrain.

Rachel loved that answer.

She loves it! She works at Luton Airport.

She knows about these things. Bahrain, let's see if it's right.

There, right just above the floor,

is your red line, if you come below that,

you're through to the next round.

Let's see if it's right and, if it is, how many people said it.

It's correct.

Not bad!

12. Takes your total up to 27.

-Bahrain.

-Bahrain joined in 1971 as well.

-This must be one of the lowest scoring first rounds.

-In forever.

So, Ian, you are on 12.

If you can score 14 or less with your answer,

you are through to the next round.

-14 or less.

-I was a bit wary about the north Africa states.

I wasn't sure if they were Arab, but Algeria is in north Africa.

So if the north African countries are part of the Arab world, maybe there's possibilities there.

I'm going for Kuwait.

14 or less. There's your red line.

Below that,

you are through to the next round but above that, we say goodbye.

Rich and Kevin equally interested in the outcome of this.

Let's see if Kuwait is right and how many people said it.

It is right.

Ooh! Very close!

It scores you 21 and takes your total up to 33.

-Richard.

-I think that's really tough luck.

North Africa - Tunisia or Morocco both would have scored you eight

and seen you through to the next round.

There are no pointless answers here but a few very low ones.

Well done if you got any of these, all with one point.

Comoros is a group of islands off the African coast...

We'll take a look at the worst answers, the ones that most of our 100 people gave.

The most well-known members. Iran is not a member, but Iraq is...

So, the losing pair with the highest score is Ian and Roy.

With only 33! The lowest score we've ever said goodbye to people on, if it makes you feel better.

-A bit.

-It was so close. You're only six points clear of your nearest rivals. And really good answers.

I'm very sorry we say goodbye. This is finally goodbye.

This was your second chance. Thanks so much for playing.

For the remaining pairs, it's now time for round two.

There's only room for two in the head-to-head so one team will leave us.

The category for round two is...

English history. Can you decide in your pairs who's going first?

Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

So, the question is...

In this round, we're about to show you a list of monarchs' nicknames.

We gave 100 people 100 seconds to give us the name of the monarch with which they are associated.

We'll show you six nicknames that have been attached to monarchs of England or of English people.

There are some obscure ones. They'll score you the fewest points.

If you give us an incorrect answer, you'll score 100 points.

See if you can get all six at home.

Your first six are...

Kevin, is this on your list of things you didn't want to come up?

Pretty much. It's the wrong country, isn't it?

I'm seeing what you're saying.

I know three of them.

The other three, I'd be guessing at.

I'll have to play it quite safe, and say...

..the Virgin Queen, Elizabeth.

-Elizabeth I.

-Very good.

You're hoping to score as few points as possible. Let's see how many people knew that answer.

It is correct.

61. That's quite a high score. Virgin Queen.

Absolutely better to be safe than sorry. 61 better than 100.

The Virgin Queen, Elizabeth. Terrible nickname!

-I'd rather be called The Magnificent.

-Yeah.

Clare, we are looking for the monarchs most closely associated with these nicknames.

I'm going for an obvious one to play safe.

-Really?

-Yeah.

-Not a strong subject for you?

-No.

No. I'll go for The Conqueror and William.

OK.

The Conqueror and William. Let's see if that's right.

And if it is, how many people knew William The Conqueror.

Well, that's a correct answer. That's better than 100.

A better nickname, that's why it's a bigger score.

Conqueror's a pretty good name.

Lawrie, I think you know this. You are good on this.

I'm definitely not.

I had a name in mind for The Magnificent,

but I'm pretty sure he's a magician.

I'm going to go with the only answer that's not going to get me 100

and say Alexander The Great.

Let's see if that's correct and how many people knew that, Alexander The Great.

Bad luck.

That is an incorrect answer.

-That scores 100 points. Richard.

-Tough luck.

-Lawrie, we'll give you the chance of saying it?

-The Scottish one?

-It's Alfred The Great.

-I was going to get 100, whichever one I chose.

I don't know any of them.

The other three are pretty obscure. Do you know The Martyr?

Edward The Martyr.

Those other two are both pointless, so very well done if you got those.

And one of our Danish friends...

He'd be Swiss - forkbeard, spoonbeard and knifebeard.

-Swiss Army Beard.

-Yeah.

That would be useful.

We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at the scores.

Judith and Lawrie, you're way out ahead.

Judith, I'm hoping your history, particularly your English monarchs, is really strong.

Rachel and Clare, 90, not a terrible score, really.

Kevin and Rich, 61. Best score of the lot!

Can the second players please take their places at the podium?

We're putting six more monarchs' nicknames on the board.

We are looking for the monarchs associated with these nicknames,

the one the fewest of our 100 people knew.

-Judith.

-I'm glad I'm going first.

There's only one that I know.

Even that's a bit iffy!

I'll just have to go for that.

Lawrie didn't get it right with Alexander.

I'm hoping for Richard The Lionheart.

You are the high scorers. You have to score as low as you can.

Let's see how many people said it.

I didn't have time to say "It's right."

I'm afraid we will be saying goodbye at the end of the round.

-These are high scores.

-Really high scores. Richard The Lionheart.

-That was my nickname at school.

-Yeah? Was it really?

No.

If you wet yourself on your second day at primary school, they don't call you Richard The Lionheart.

OK, Rachel, we are looking for the monarchs

who had these nicknames.

You are on 90.

Doesn't matter what you score.

You are through to the next round.

-It's a bit of a relief!

-Yes.

I don't know any of them.

I'm going to guess and say Charles The Elder.

Charles The Elder.

There is The Elder.

Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said it.

I knew that.

It scores you 100 points, but who cares?

-Charles The Elder?

-It's worth a go. I won't say who it was in case Rich wants a go at that one.

Rich, you're on 61.

See if you can find a pointless answer to add £250 to the jackpot.

When the category came up, I was secretly pleased.

I do know quite a few monarchs and I had in my head Sweyn Forkbeard!

-No?!

-Yes! As it happens...

I'm half Indian, part Scandinavian and my nickname was Sweyn.

Hence, I looked up Sweyn Forkbeard.

Such a shame Kevin went for that round.

Looking at these ones, there are some I know.

I'm trying to pick one that might be pointless.

I'm going for Harold Harefoot.

Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people knew Harold Harefoot, Rich.

It's right.

A really, really good answer, Rich! Takes your total up to 63.

Have you ever dressed up as Harold Harefoot?

-Possibly, but not for work.

-Yeah. I know the feeling.

He was the illegitimate son of Canute, Harold Harefoot.

Let's take a look at the rest...

-The biggest scoring is The Unready which, Alexander is...?

-Ethelred.

-He spent ages in the bathroom. Do you know Ironside?

-Edmund.

It is Edmund. Used to go round the country solving crimes.

That would have scored two points. Let's clear up The Elder.

-Edward.

-Alfred The Great's son, Edward The Elder.

Had the top bunk. Edward The Younger had the bottom bunk.

-The Peaceful was a pointless answer. Do you know?

-Don't know.

Rich?

The only one there I didn't know.

Edgar The Peaceful. Very well done if you got that.

At the end of round two, the losing pair with the highest score, I'm afraid, is Judith and Lawrie.

-Not a good round.

-One of you was wrong and scored 100.

One of you was right...scored 92.

You can share the blame quite conveniently.

What have you learned from your brief Pointless appearance?

Monarchs probably isn't going to come up again!

One less thing to revise tonight.

We look forward to you coming back. I'm sure you'll get even further.

Thanks for playing. Great contestants.

APPLAUSE

Things are about to get even more exciting as we enter the head-to-head.

Well done, Rich and Kevin, Rachel and Clare, you're in the head-to-head.

Only one pair can play for the jackpot which stands at...

-AUDIENCE: Ooh!

-Decent jackpot.

You're going head-to-head on three questions. You're allowed to confer.

Find an answer that scores less than the opposing pair and you will win that question.

The first pair to win two questions plays for today's jackpot.

OK, let's play Pointless.

Here's your first question. We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name

as many three-letter body parts as they could.

-Richard?

-Any parts of the body whose common name has just three letters.

We're not looking for slang names or abbreviations such as "abs".

Just the common names of body parts that have three letters.

Rich and Kevin, cos you've played best so far, you get to go first.

We are looking for three-letter body parts.

THEY CONFER IN WHISPERS

-OK, you have an answer?

-We do.

After much deliberation and checking each other's bodies out...

ALEXANDER LAUGHS Very nice, by the way.

We're going with "rib".

Oh!

-Don't tell me you had that as well?

-We did.

-How do you like that?

Nicking your rib like that!

Rachel and Clare, what are you going to give me?

-They'll be more points than rib. Lip or toe.

-Go for lip.

THEY GIGGLE

-Hip.

-Hip!

-Maybe we'll go for "hip".

-Maybe you will go for "hip".

We have "rib". We now have "hip".

In the order they were given, let's see how many people said "rib".

-APPLAUSE

-Does that feel about right?

-For "rib"?

-Yeah.

-It's all right, yeah.

26.

"Hip" say Rachel and Clare. How many people said "hip"?

APPLAUSE

After the first question, it is 1-0

to Rich and Kevin.

There were three answers that would have beaten "rib". Let's take a look.

"Gut" isn't slang. It's part of lower alimentary canal.

"Gum" scored eight.

Lip, you were thinking of, would have been 53.

Some of the biggest scores...

They would have cost you an arm and a leg!

Thanks very much, Richard.

It's 1-0. Rachel and Clare you have to win this point to stay in the game.

Rich and Kevin, if you win this, you are through to the next round.

Here's your second question. We gave 100 people 100 seconds

to name as many... Ghostbusters actors as they could.

Ghostbusters actors. Richard.

-The names of any of the four actors who played a Ghostbuster in the 1984 original film.

-Right.

Rachel and Clare, you get to go first.

THEY WHISPER

-Do you remember the film?

-I do...

-You wish you remembered it better!

-BOTH: Yes!

-There's one that's really dodgy.

But we need to do that to get through.

-You mean the actor or just...?

-We don't know whether he was actually in it or not!

-OK.

-We know one that was definitely in it.

-But it'll be the highest scoring one.

-What are your interests, Clare?

Food and drink.

And food and drink.

-More food and maybe some pudding!

-Yeah.

-Ooh, and a drink!

Shall we go for the one obvious one and they might not know the others?

-We'll go for Dan Aykroyd.

-OK, Dan Aykroyd, you say?

-Mm.

Rich and Kevin, they said Dan Aykroyd. Something tells me you might be quite good on this.

-We grew up with this film. We like films in general.

-You watched this several times?

You know quite a lot about Ghostbusters?

-Yeah. We think so.

-Do you know all the actors?

-We think we do.

-Yeah.

Fantastic.

The fourth one who joins later on in the film is an actor called Ernie Hudson.

Ernie Hudson, you're going to say, who joins later in the film.

Dan Aykroyd from Rachel and Clare. Ernie Hudson from Rich and Kevin.

Dan Aykroyd. Let's see how many people said it.

It's right!

-APPLAUSE

-33 is what Dan Aykroyd scores you.

Rich and Kevin, if you win this point, you're through to the final

with a chance to play for that amazing jackpot of £4,250.

Let's see if Ernie Hudson is right and how many people said it.

It's right.

-APPLAUSE

-That's a great answer.

After the second question, you are through in straight sets to the final.

-Richard.

-Great answer. Plays Winston Zeddmore, a role written for Eddie Murphy, believe it or not.

-Eddie Murphy dropped out?

-He did. Yeah.

Let's look at all four...

Harold Ramis wrote the film with Dan Aykroyd.

The losing pair, I'm afraid, is Rachel and Clare.

Ghostbusters and parts of the body in three letters -

two categories you didn't want to come up.

-We can do Arab geographical things.

-Yeah!

That's gone, though! You've done well.

You've come through to the head-to-head. You'll be back. This is only your first shot.

I hope you'll do even better. You've been great contestants. Thank you.

For Rich and Kevin, it's time for our Pointless final

and the chance to win £4,250!

Congratulations, Rich and Kevin, you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.

APPLAUSE

That's what you came here for.

You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot which stands at...

AUDIENCE: Oooh!

All you have to do is find a pointless answer that none of our 100 people could think of.

We haven't had any pointless answers today. Just find one now to go home with that money.

First, choose a category from these three options.

What do you reckon?

-Pop music could be anything!

-Yeah. It could be very modern.

We wouldn't stand much of a chance cos we're both old fogeys.

If it's '80s music, we're quids in.

-Let's go pop music.

-Pop music?

-Yeah.

-Pop music, please.

-Pop music it is!

Let's see what the question is.

We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many

Elton John top ten singles as they could. Richard.

Any song by Elton John as a solo artist that reached the UK top ten.

So no duets, no remixes, no collaborations, just Elton John top ten singles.

You have up to one minute to come up with three answers.

All you need to win that £4,250 is for one of those to be pointless.

Your 60 seconds start now.

Nikita. Nikita could be.

-Or...

-I'm Still Standing.

-Healing Hands.

Healing Hands would be good. Sacrifice was his first number one.

-The other '70s ones?

-Candle In The Wind. We'll discount that.

Rocket Man?

That's not going to be pointless, is it?

Healing Hands might stand a chance.

What about one of those he did for The Lion King? Circle Of Life?

I don't know Lion King stuff.

-So, Healing Hands. We could go for Sacrifice.

-Yeah.

-Healing Hands, Sacrifice...

-Nikita?

-Nikita, yeah.

-What was the other one?

-I Guess Why...

-That's Why They Call It The Blues.

I would go Nikita, Sacrifice, Healing Hands.

-What do you reckon?

-OK.

-Those your three?

-Yeah.

Brilliant. Stop the clock.

We were looking for Elton John top ten singles.

I need your three answers.

We're going Nikita.

Healing Hands.

And Sacrifice.

-Which is your best shot at a pointless?

-Possibly Healing Hands.

Actually, Healing Hands and Sacrifice are a double-A-side single.

They count as one answer. So give us one more answer.

We'll count that as one. You give us one more answer.

Anything else, I'm not sure whether it got into the top ten.

Yeah, so Can You Feel The Love Tonight, we're going for.

-Yeah.

-Where do you want to put that on your board?

-RICH CHUCKLES

-At the top.

-At the top!

On the board in that order, we now have...

We are looking for Elton John's top ten singles.

This was your least confident answer.

You only need one pointless answer to win that £4,250 jackpot.

Let's see if your first answer is correct and if it is,

how many people said Can You Feel The Love Tonight?

For £4,250.

AUDIENCE GROANS

That is not a pointless answer. It's an incorrect answer.

You have two more chances to win today's jackpot.

-But you kind of knew that wasn't a very good answer. You were a bit thrown by that double-A-side.

-Yeah.

We'll see about the other two.

We are looking for Elton John top ten singles. £4,250.

How would you spend that?

I've got a 13-week-old baby.

Most of it'll go on her, Francesca.

Take Louisa my wife and Francesca on holiday, perhaps.

13-week-old. How much sleep are you getting?

I slept more on the train down here than I do of a night.

-Kevin, how about you?

-I've just broken my phone so I'll get a replacement!

Let's see what happens with your next answer.

Your second answer is Nikita.

This has to be pointless to win that jackpot.

Let's see if it's correct and how many people said Nikita for £4,250.

It's right.

This has to go all the way down to zero...

APPLAUSE

Seven people said Nikita so it is not a pointless answer.

That gives you a gauge of what our 100 people knew about Elton John.

How are you feeling about your last answer, Healing Hands and Sacrifice?

-Not great.

-No.

With it being a double-A-side, very few people would know Healing Hands but lots would know Sacrifice.

-Nikita surprised me, only seven, though, so you never know, do you?

-You never know.

We only have one final chance to win today's jackpot, £4,250.

You said this was the answer you're most confident in - before you realised it was a double-A-side.

This has to be pointless to win that jackpot of £4,250.

Let's see if it's correct and if it is, how many people said it.

It's correct.

Only seven people knew Nikita.

Maybe this will go down further...

You didn't find that all-important pointless answer, so you don't win today's jackpot of £4,250,

which rolls over to the next show.

You have been fantastic and you do take home our Pointless trophy.

-APPLAUSE

-Not to be sniffed at.

-So, Richard...

-SIGHS

Can You Feel The Love Tonight was a number 14 hit.

-Oh!

-Sacrifice and Healing Hands were released individually but got nowhere near the charts.

When they were put together, they were a top ten single.

There were five pointless answers and you are not going to like the first one.

Let's take a look.

Ah, no!

The last thing you said before you settled on your answers.

He had a top ten with Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds. The Beatles didn't.

Electricity from Billy Elliot was a Number Four hit in 2005.

-Really tough luck.

-Bad luck! That doesn't feel good at all!

Does it? Knowing that you actually said one of those pointless answers.

-Why didn't you go for it?

-I felt it was quite well-known.

-I'm amazed it's pointless.

-I'd say it was one of his well-known singles.

-Yeah.

We have to say goodbye, Rich and Kevin, but you have been fantastic contestants.

-Thank you so much for playing.

-CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

Again, nobody has won our jackpot so it rolls over.

On the next show, we will be playing for...

AUDIENCE: Ooh!

-Join us next time. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.

-Goodbye.

-And goodbye from me. Goodbye.
