0:00:17 > 0:00:20APPLAUSE

0:00:20 > 0:00:23Thank you very much indeed.

0:00:23 > 0:00:27Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and this is Pointless, the quiz show where the biggest winners

0:00:27 > 0:00:30are the lowest scorers. Let's meet today's players.

0:00:30 > 0:00:33APPLAUSE

0:00:34 > 0:00:39Firstly, we welcome Phil and Jamie. You are our first pair on the show. How do you two know each other?

0:00:39 > 0:00:43Work colleagues, work for a health-care company up in Skipton.

0:00:43 > 0:00:45Very good. Jamie, Phil's your boss, is he?

0:00:45 > 0:00:48Well, he likes to think he is but really he's not.

0:00:48 > 0:00:51My brother's his boss and I'm his boss.

0:00:51 > 0:00:55What, hang on? You are your brother's boss.

0:00:55 > 0:00:57My brother, his boss.

0:00:57 > 0:01:00What we need to learn is that Jamie's no-one's boss!

0:01:00 > 0:01:05OK, OK. Best of luck to the pair of you this afternoon.

0:01:05 > 0:01:09Secondly, we welcome David and John. How do you two know each other?

0:01:09 > 0:01:13Well, he's my dad so I've known him, sort of, 24 years.

0:01:13 > 0:01:17For ever. Whose idea was it to come on the show?

0:01:17 > 0:01:20It was absolutely 100% mine.

0:01:20 > 0:01:22Very best of luck to you on the show.

0:01:22 > 0:01:25And we welcome back Rachel and Clare. You were on the show last time.

0:01:25 > 0:01:30We give everyone two shots at the Pointless final and this is your last chance.

0:01:30 > 0:01:33- Remind us how you did last time. - We got through to round three

0:01:33 > 0:01:37and it turns out we know more about Arab politics than our own body.

0:01:37 > 0:01:40Bits of the body with three letters.

0:01:40 > 0:01:43- Yeah.- I think you might do well this afternoon.- Hope so.

0:01:43 > 0:01:46And we welcome back Judith and Lawrie. How did you do last time?

0:01:46 > 0:01:50We sort of blindly fumbled our way through the first round

0:01:50 > 0:01:55but we don't know much about English monarchs, it turns out. So, hopefully we will avoid those today.

0:01:55 > 0:02:00We'll find out more about all of you throughout the show. But there is one more person for me to introduce.

0:02:00 > 0:02:04- He is the man behind all the facts and figures. He's my Pointless friend, he's Richard.- Hiya.

0:02:04 > 0:02:07APPLAUSE

0:02:07 > 0:02:09Afternoon.

0:02:09 > 0:02:12- Good afternoon to you.- How are you?

0:02:12 > 0:02:15I'm very well. I'm anxious to know what kind of a show we've got.

0:02:15 > 0:02:19As you say, two returning pairs today. Rachel and Clare did very well last time.

0:02:19 > 0:02:23And I think we probably didn't see the best of Judith and Lawrie.

0:02:23 > 0:02:26So, I think our two new pairs have a fight on their hands.

0:02:26 > 0:02:31Thank you very much, Richard. Now, we put all our questions to 100 people before the show but this is Pointless

0:02:31 > 0:02:34so we are after the obscure answers that they didn't get.

0:02:34 > 0:02:37To stay in the game, with a chance to win our jackpot, all our players need

0:02:37 > 0:02:40to do is to come up with an answer that scores as little as possible.

0:02:40 > 0:02:46But what everyone is trying to do is find a pointless answer, an answer that none of our 100 people gave.

0:02:46 > 0:02:50Every time that happens, we will add another £250 to the jackpot.

0:02:50 > 0:02:53Nobody won the jackpot last time so we add another £1,000 to that.

0:02:53 > 0:02:56So, today's jackpot starts off

0:02:56 > 0:02:58at £5,250.

0:02:58 > 0:03:00APPLAUSE

0:03:00 > 0:03:02Very good. Right, let's play Pointless.

0:03:07 > 0:03:09Now, in the first round each of you

0:03:09 > 0:03:13must give me one answer and you cannot confer with your partner.

0:03:13 > 0:03:17Whichever team has the highest score at the end of the round

0:03:17 > 0:03:18will be eliminated.

0:03:18 > 0:03:21OK, guys, our first category this afternoon is...

0:03:22 > 0:03:25..Children's Television.

0:03:25 > 0:03:28Children's Television. Can you all decide in your pairs

0:03:28 > 0:03:33who's going to go first, who's going to go second?

0:03:33 > 0:03:35And whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.

0:03:39 > 0:03:44OK, let's find out what the question is. We gave 100 people 100 seconds

0:03:44 > 0:03:48to name as many characters from Sesame Street as they could.

0:03:48 > 0:03:52Characters from Sesame Street. Richard can you elaborate on that?

0:03:52 > 0:03:57Yeah, all the correct answers in this round will be Muppet characters from the TV series Sesame Street.

0:03:57 > 0:04:02Right. Phil and Jamie, you all drew lots before the show and today you get to go first.

0:04:02 > 0:04:06So, Phil we are going to give you a choice of seven possible answers on the board for each pass.

0:04:06 > 0:04:12- Right.- The first set of seven answers reads like this.

0:04:12 > 0:04:14HE READS OUT THE NAMES

0:04:23 > 0:04:26Just going to read those again.

0:04:32 > 0:04:37Now, I can tell you there is at least one pointless answer amongst those seven. But you must be very careful -

0:04:37 > 0:04:40there is also at least one incorrect answer among those seven.

0:04:40 > 0:04:44Be very careful because if you pick one of those you will score the maximum of 100 points.

0:04:44 > 0:04:47- Phil, Sesame Street?- Disappointed. - Are you? I'm sorry. Why?

0:04:47 > 0:04:51Children's Television, superb at because I've got a three-year-old,

0:04:51 > 0:04:53but Sesame Street's not necessarily current.

0:04:53 > 0:04:56- Play it safe, maybe. - OK. Well, good luck.

0:04:56 > 0:04:58I'm going to go with...

0:05:01 > 0:05:02..Barkley the dog.

0:05:02 > 0:05:05Barkley the dog. Great name for a dog.

0:05:05 > 0:05:08If you are watching, Sesame Street guys, well done, brilliant.

0:05:08 > 0:05:14Let's see if it's a correct answer, let's see how many people said Barkley the dog.

0:05:15 > 0:05:17It's correct!

0:05:23 > 0:05:25Look at that!

0:05:25 > 0:05:28APPLAUSE Look at that, Phil.

0:05:28 > 0:05:32That's a pointless answer! It adds £250 to today's jackpot,

0:05:32 > 0:05:36takes the total up to £5,500, and best of all it scores you nothing. Richard.

0:05:36 > 0:05:38Brilliant start. Barkley the dog

0:05:38 > 0:05:41is a friendly, shaggy dog who understands sign language.

0:05:41 > 0:05:46His owner, Linda, is deaf and he understands all the sign language commands for sit and stay.

0:05:46 > 0:05:48Good dog.

0:05:48 > 0:05:51OK, so we are looking for characters from Sesame Street.

0:05:51 > 0:05:53David, Sesame Street...?

0:05:53 > 0:05:55Well, a bit like Phil...

0:05:55 > 0:05:57You've got a three-year-old child?

0:05:57 > 0:06:01John, sorry it had to come out now but you were going to have to find out!

0:06:01 > 0:06:06I was going to say Children's TV is quite a hot topic of mine as well but not Sesame Street unfortunately.

0:06:06 > 0:06:10I think I am going to play it safe and go for Big Bird.

0:06:10 > 0:06:14OK. Let's hope it doesn't score too high, you're playing it safe.

0:06:14 > 0:06:16Let's see how many people said Big Bird.

0:06:22 > 0:06:2348, David.

0:06:23 > 0:06:25APPLAUSE

0:06:25 > 0:06:27Big Bird.

0:06:27 > 0:06:30Big Bird, big score. He was the first ever character to appear

0:06:30 > 0:06:35on Sesame Street. 8ft 2, which is two inches shorter than me.

0:06:35 > 0:06:38LAUGHTER

0:06:38 > 0:06:41OK, Clare, we are looking for characters from Sesame Street.

0:06:41 > 0:06:44What do you reckon? Have you got children, Clare?

0:06:44 > 0:06:47I have, one, but he doesn't watch Sesame Street.

0:06:47 > 0:06:50- OK.- I'll gamble

0:06:50 > 0:06:52and go for Oscar the grouch.

0:06:52 > 0:06:55You are going to go for Oscar the grouch. This is a complete gamble.

0:06:55 > 0:07:00OK, let's see if it is a correct answer and, if it is, let's see how many people said Oscar the grouch.

0:07:02 > 0:07:03It's right, Clare.

0:07:08 > 0:07:10Very good, scores you 17.

0:07:10 > 0:07:13APPLAUSE

0:07:13 > 0:07:18- Oscar the grouch. - Yeah, Oscar the grouch, very good, lives in a dustbin, hates children.

0:07:18 > 0:07:21Perfect, isn't he? And helps you to count.

0:07:21 > 0:07:24Brilliant. OK, now, Lawrie...

0:07:24 > 0:07:27there are four left on the board.

0:07:27 > 0:07:32There is definitely an incorrect answer among those four.

0:07:32 > 0:07:34There could easily be another pointless answer among those four.

0:07:34 > 0:07:37Characters from Sesame Street. Did you watch Sesame Street, Lawrie?

0:07:37 > 0:07:41- I have never, ever seen an episode of Sesame Street.- Wow.

0:07:41 > 0:07:44- Have you heard people talk about it?- Yeah.

0:07:44 > 0:07:47I'm going to go for Abby Cadabby.

0:07:47 > 0:07:48OK, Abby Cadabby.

0:07:48 > 0:07:53Well, let's see if it's a correct answer and, if it is, let's see how many people said Abby Cadabby.

0:07:55 > 0:07:56It's right.

0:08:04 > 0:08:06APPLAUSE

0:08:07 > 0:08:10Well done, Lawrie. Abby Cadabby, it scores you only one.

0:08:10 > 0:08:12Yeah, he picked very wisely.

0:08:12 > 0:08:15Abby Cadabby, it's just to the east of Dubai.

0:08:15 > 0:08:17LAUGHTER

0:08:17 > 0:08:20No, Abby Cadabby is a pink fairy in training.

0:08:20 > 0:08:21Make of that what you will.

0:08:21 > 0:08:24Always accidentally turning things into pumpkins with her wand.

0:08:24 > 0:08:28- Right you are.- Let's take a look at the rest of the board.

0:08:28 > 0:08:31Bert obviously is a Sesame Street character, part of Bert and Ernie,

0:08:31 > 0:08:34would have scored you a fairly hefty 22.

0:08:34 > 0:08:38One of those other two is pointless and one is incorrect. What do you think?

0:08:38 > 0:08:42Harvey Kneeslapper sounds like he could be a Sesame Street character.

0:08:42 > 0:08:46You are absolutely correct. Harvey Kneeslapper is a Sesame Street character, always playing jokes

0:08:46 > 0:08:48or making puns about numbers.

0:08:48 > 0:08:53Simsim is the Arabic word for Sesame so that was an incorrect answer.

0:08:53 > 0:08:57We are halfway through the round so let's take a look at the scores.

0:08:57 > 0:09:01Well, some lovely low scores there. Phil and Jamie - fabulous start

0:09:01 > 0:09:03to the round from you, Phil.

0:09:03 > 0:09:05Jamie, keep that up and you should easily be through to the next round.

0:09:05 > 0:09:07Similarly, Judith and Lawrie,

0:09:07 > 0:09:09fantastic guess with Abby Cadabby.

0:09:09 > 0:09:1148, David and John,

0:09:11 > 0:09:14not a terrible score but in this instance

0:09:14 > 0:09:15it does leave you quite exposed,

0:09:15 > 0:09:17you are quite far ahead.

0:09:17 > 0:09:23So, John you're going to either have to be very clever or very lucky on the next pass. Rachel and Clare,

0:09:23 > 0:09:2517, somewhere in the middle. OK, we're going to come back

0:09:25 > 0:09:29down the line, can the second players please take their places at the podium.

0:09:30 > 0:09:34We are going to put another seven answers on the board.

0:09:34 > 0:09:38We are looking for characters from Sesame Street, and here's your next batch.

0:09:38 > 0:09:41HE READS OUT THE NAMES

0:09:49 > 0:09:52I will read those again.

0:09:56 > 0:09:59Now, again I can tell you there's at least one pointless answer there

0:09:59 > 0:10:03and there's also at least one incorrect answer, so do try and avoid those.

0:10:03 > 0:10:06Judith, how well did Lawrie do there!

0:10:06 > 0:10:11Really well. I'm so glad he did. I know I've definitely watched Sesame Street

0:10:11 > 0:10:14but I don't remember any episodes or very many characters.

0:10:14 > 0:10:19OK. What did you watch when you were little?

0:10:19 > 0:10:25I remember I wasn't allowed to watch Neighbours because my mum said it would corrupt me. So...

0:10:25 > 0:10:28- She was right.- Spot on, there.

0:10:30 > 0:10:32- I'm torn between two. - Well, you are on one.

0:10:32 > 0:10:37You want to score 46 or less with this answer to avoid becoming the highest scorers.

0:10:37 > 0:10:41I think I'm going to sort of play it safe.

0:10:41 > 0:10:46I remember there definitely being a Count in there, because I liked his accent.

0:10:46 > 0:10:50So, I am going to go for Count von Count.

0:10:50 > 0:10:52You're saying Count von Count.

0:10:52 > 0:10:56Here's your red line. If Count von Count is correct and gets you below that,

0:10:56 > 0:10:58you are definitely in the next round.

0:10:58 > 0:11:03Let's see if that's right and, if it is, let's see how many people said it.

0:11:04 > 0:11:05It's right.

0:11:08 > 0:11:10You're through.

0:11:10 > 0:11:14Down it goes to nine. Very good answer, Judith.

0:11:14 > 0:11:17That gives you a total of ten.

0:11:17 > 0:11:20- Count von Count.- Well played, Judith, safe and sound.

0:11:20 > 0:11:24He's a Transylvanian Count who's always counting things.

0:11:24 > 0:11:28- You've got to have a gimmick, haven't you?- Got to have a gimmick, Richard.

0:11:28 > 0:11:30Rachel, you are on 17.

0:11:30 > 0:11:35If you can score 30 or less with this answer, you are through to the next round.

0:11:35 > 0:11:38Did you watch Sesame Street?

0:11:38 > 0:11:41I did. There's two answers there that I know are correct.

0:11:41 > 0:11:44I think I might need a low score so I don't know

0:11:44 > 0:11:47whether to try and guess one of the others or not.

0:11:47 > 0:11:49- I'm going to go for Elmo. - You are going to go for Elmo.

0:11:49 > 0:11:51Yes.

0:11:51 > 0:11:54Elmo. There is your red line if Elmo is correct and gets you below that,

0:11:54 > 0:11:57you are through to the next round.

0:11:57 > 0:12:00OK, let's see if Elmo's right and how many people said it. Elmo.

0:12:02 > 0:12:03It's right.

0:12:07 > 0:12:10And you're through! 22 for Elmo,

0:12:10 > 0:12:13that takes your total up to 39.

0:12:14 > 0:12:19- Richard, Elmo.- Well played. A very cute little red Muppet with an infectious giggle.

0:12:19 > 0:12:22John, 48.

0:12:22 > 0:12:24You are the highest scorers, 48.

0:12:24 > 0:12:30David with his Big Bird went and landed you right at the top of the grid.

0:12:30 > 0:12:38You have to score as little as you possibly can and hope somehow Jamie comes up with an incorrect answer.

0:12:38 > 0:12:42This could be time-to-get-my-coat time.

0:12:42 > 0:12:44I am going to have a complete and utter guess.

0:12:44 > 0:12:48It sounds so risky, I'll go for Frisky the cat.

0:12:48 > 0:12:49Frisky the cat.

0:12:49 > 0:12:55Maybe you've winkled out a pointless answer, in which case you'll add £250

0:12:55 > 0:12:59to the jackpot and it might be enough to save your bacon. It depends on how well Jamie knows Sesame Street

0:12:59 > 0:13:02- and he's giving nothing away. - I won't be holding my breath.

0:13:02 > 0:13:04I will.

0:13:04 > 0:13:09Frisky the cat, let's see if it's right. Let's see how many people said Frisky the cat, if it is.

0:13:11 > 0:13:13No!

0:13:13 > 0:13:16Bad luck, John. I'm afraid that is an incorrect answer,

0:13:16 > 0:13:19which means you score the maximum of 100 points,

0:13:19 > 0:13:21which takes your score up to 148. Richard.

0:13:21 > 0:13:26Yeah, bad luck, John. Frisky the cat is actually a very, very famous cat.

0:13:26 > 0:13:30- Do you know who Frisky the cat is? - No.- Seen by millions of people.

0:13:30 > 0:13:34It's the cat that used to be in the opening sequences of Coronation Street.

0:13:34 > 0:13:36That's Frisky the cat.

0:13:36 > 0:13:41- Its ashes recently sold at auction for £844.- Frisky the cat's ashes?!

0:13:41 > 0:13:44- Nice, isn't it?- £844.- Yeah.

0:13:44 > 0:13:47Wow, that's an episode of Bargain Hunt...

0:13:47 > 0:13:49I missed.

0:13:49 > 0:13:52So, John and David, I'm afraid the writing is,

0:13:52 > 0:13:55well, it's on the screen in front of you there.

0:13:55 > 0:13:59148 points, you are unequivocally the highest scorers this round.

0:13:59 > 0:14:03So I'm afraid we will be saying goodbye to you at the end of the round

0:14:03 > 0:14:09but not before Jamie dazzles us all by getting a second pointless in this round. Phil did it.

0:14:09 > 0:14:11Jamie, do you know Sesame Street?

0:14:11 > 0:14:16- Ish. I used to watch it when I was really young.- How old are you now?

0:14:16 > 0:14:18- Let me think, 21. - You're still really young!

0:14:20 > 0:14:23- Talk us through the board, Jamie. - Right well, no offence, guys,

0:14:23 > 0:14:25but I'm kind of happy that you went with that answer,

0:14:25 > 0:14:28because the first set of questions I was pretty sure about,

0:14:28 > 0:14:30but this second set, I'm not so sure.

0:14:30 > 0:14:34So, I've been divvying it up and I'm going to go with Telly Monster.

0:14:34 > 0:14:39OK, Telly Monster you say. There's no red line for you - you're through, come what may.

0:14:39 > 0:14:42Maybe it's a pointless answer, in which case it will add another £250 to the jackpot.

0:14:42 > 0:14:46Let's see if it's right and if it is, let's see how many people said Telly Monster.

0:14:48 > 0:14:49It's right.

0:14:55 > 0:14:59It IS a pointless answer - what about that?!

0:14:59 > 0:15:03Very well done. That adds another £250 to today's jackpot,

0:15:03 > 0:15:07taking the total up to £5,750.

0:15:07 > 0:15:11It scores you nothing and it leaves you with a brilliant score of nothing. Richard.

0:15:11 > 0:15:14Yeah, they are making it look effortless, are they not?

0:15:14 > 0:15:17For any kids watching, the Telly Monster is the monster

0:15:17 > 0:15:20that lives in your telly that gets angry when you switch off BBC Two.

0:15:20 > 0:15:21LAUGHTER

0:15:21 > 0:15:26No flipping. Let's take a look at the rest of the board.

0:15:26 > 0:15:29Cookie Monster of course is a fairly hefty scorer

0:15:29 > 0:15:31on this board, but only 21.

0:15:31 > 0:15:34They are never allowed to use real cookies on Sesame Street,

0:15:34 > 0:15:37because the chocolate and grease is very bad for muppet costumes.

0:15:37 > 0:15:39So, he always eats rice cakes, the Cookie Monster.

0:15:39 > 0:15:41It's actually a rice-cake monster.

0:15:41 > 0:15:46Grover also obviously a real Sesame Street character - that would

0:15:46 > 0:15:48have scored a slightly lower 1,

0:15:48 > 0:15:52as would Baby Bear, Curly Bear's older brother.

0:15:52 > 0:15:53Thanks very much, Richard.

0:15:53 > 0:15:58So, at the end of Round One, the losing pair with the highest score, I'm afraid it's David and John.

0:15:58 > 0:15:59At least we made it close.

0:15:59 > 0:16:03Exactly - it was a very close-run thing(!)

0:16:03 > 0:16:07David, was John the right wing man to bring down to the Pointless studio, do you think?

0:16:07 > 0:16:10Probably not for Sesame Street.

0:16:10 > 0:16:13But then again I sort of dropped us in it to start with, so...

0:16:13 > 0:16:16Thanks very much, guys. It's been great having you on the show.

0:16:16 > 0:16:19I'm sorry we have to say goodbye to you so early on, but I think next time you might do even better.

0:16:19 > 0:16:22Thanks - great contestants.

0:16:22 > 0:16:25With the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.

0:16:31 > 0:16:33Now, it's time to find out which two teams will be going

0:16:33 > 0:16:36through to the head-to-head for the chance to reach the Pointless final.

0:16:36 > 0:16:40The category for Round Two is...

0:16:45 > 0:16:50Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first and who is going to go second?

0:16:52 > 0:16:55And whoever is going first please step up to the podium.

0:16:58 > 0:17:02And the question concerns...

0:17:08 > 0:17:12In this round, we are about to show you the names of some famous bridges.

0:17:12 > 0:17:18We gave 100 people 100 seconds to tell us which city they are in or close to. Richard.

0:17:18 > 0:17:21We are going to show you six bridges. We are looking for their cities.

0:17:21 > 0:17:24Obviously, the more obscure the bridge, the fewer points you are going to score.

0:17:24 > 0:17:27If you give us an incorrect answer at any point, you'll score 100 points.

0:17:27 > 0:17:31Your first six read like this...

0:17:39 > 0:17:42Let me read those again...

0:17:51 > 0:17:57Phil, we are looking for the cities that these bridges are either in or nearest to.

0:17:57 > 0:18:01- You're frowning. - It's not a great question for me,

0:18:01 > 0:18:08- but I recognise a few. - Do you travel much, Phil? - I love holidays.

0:18:10 > 0:18:14I like holidays, too. Love holidays.

0:18:14 > 0:18:19Do you ever holiday to places where maybe there's a bit of water between two bits of land?

0:18:19 > 0:18:24- No.- You think, "Oh, how can I get over? Oh, I know - there."

0:18:24 > 0:18:29- No.- No.- I'm going to go, easy one, Humber Bridge...

0:18:29 > 0:18:30Hull.

0:18:30 > 0:18:32Right, Phil,

0:18:32 > 0:18:34you're saying Humber Bridge is in Hull.

0:18:34 > 0:18:37The Humber Bridge in Hull, there it is at the bottom of the list.

0:18:37 > 0:18:40Let's see if that's right and if it is let's see how many people knew that answer.

0:18:40 > 0:18:42Humber - Hull.

0:18:44 > 0:18:47It's right.

0:18:49 > 0:18:5031.

0:18:50 > 0:18:56Not a terrible score, Phil, by any means.

0:18:56 > 0:18:57The Humber Bridge, Hull.

0:18:57 > 0:19:00Yeah, the Humber Bridge crosses the Humber Estuary.

0:19:00 > 0:19:02It's the road to Hull.

0:19:02 > 0:19:04Paved with good intentions.

0:19:04 > 0:19:07You can get to Hull and back across the Humber Bridge.

0:19:07 > 0:19:11Clare, I heard that you are great followers of Eurovision.

0:19:11 > 0:19:14- Yes, we are.- Is that right? - Yes, sadly.

0:19:14 > 0:19:16How do you celebrate Eurovision?

0:19:16 > 0:19:19We are known to go out and try and source

0:19:19 > 0:19:22a different alcohol from whatever countries are in it

0:19:22 > 0:19:24and then drink it while the song's being played.

0:19:24 > 0:19:30- Hang on a minute.- That's a good idea.

0:19:30 > 0:19:34Yeah, a good idea up until... after about the 16th country.

0:19:34 > 0:19:38- We didn't get that far. - No, I bet you don't. By then you are on the floor.

0:19:38 > 0:19:43OK, so we are looking for the cities that these bridges are nearest to or in.

0:19:43 > 0:19:46Unfortunately, I am going to have to go for an obvious answer,

0:19:46 > 0:19:51which is Brooklyn Bridge, and that's Manhattan.

0:19:51 > 0:19:54OK, Brooklyn Bridge, Manhattan, you are saying.

0:19:54 > 0:20:00Let's see if that's correct and if it is, let's see how many people knew it. Brooklyn Bridge, Manhattan.

0:20:02 > 0:20:04Unfortunately, Clare,

0:20:04 > 0:20:08we can't allow Manhattan as the answer, which means you score

0:20:08 > 0:20:11the maximum of 100 points, but we did say city. Richard.

0:20:11 > 0:20:13Yeah, we are looking for cities.

0:20:13 > 0:20:17I won't say the city, cos Judith might want to go for the same answer.

0:20:17 > 0:20:18Sorry, Clare, bad luck.

0:20:18 > 0:20:22Judith, we are looking for the cities these bridges are in or nearest to.

0:20:22 > 0:20:28Well, Brooklyn Bridge is actually the only one I know for definite there.

0:20:28 > 0:20:31So, I am going to take it, go for New York City.

0:20:31 > 0:20:33New York City you are going to say.

0:20:33 > 0:20:37Well, let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many people knew that answer. New York City.

0:20:40 > 0:20:42It's right.

0:20:44 > 0:20:51Well...it scores 58. Richard.

0:20:51 > 0:20:52Well done, Judith, and tough luck, Clare.

0:20:52 > 0:20:54It's just one of those things that gets in your brain, isn't it?

0:20:54 > 0:20:56It does actually link Brooklyn to Manhattan.

0:20:56 > 0:21:00Let's take a look at the rest of these bridges.

0:21:00 > 0:21:02Pont Neuf - do you know where that is?

0:21:02 > 0:21:05- It's in Paris. - It is in Paris, across the Seine.

0:21:05 > 0:21:11- Do you know where the Ha'penny Bridge is? - That is in Dublin, I think.

0:21:11 > 0:21:16It is in Dublin, across the Liffey, would have scored you 4 points.

0:21:16 > 0:21:20- The Ponte Sant Angelo. - That's in Rome.- It is in Rome,

0:21:20 > 0:21:21would have scored you 2 points.

0:21:21 > 0:21:24Kessock Bridge is a pointless answer, so well done if you got this at home.

0:21:24 > 0:21:28- Perhaps you live in this city, in fact. Do you know the answer?- No.

0:21:28 > 0:21:33- Inverness, is the Kessock Bridge, Inverness.- OK, we are halfway through the round,

0:21:33 > 0:21:39so let's take a look at the scores at this point. Rachel and Clare, bad luck.

0:21:39 > 0:21:43- You knew the answer.- I did.- Bad luck. I'm afraid that cost you 100 points.

0:21:43 > 0:21:46Judith, very well salvaged there.

0:21:46 > 0:21:5058 you managed to get, and Phil and Jamie you are on 31.

0:21:50 > 0:21:55Jamie, keep up that low scoring and you will be straight through to the head-to-head.

0:21:55 > 0:22:00We are going to come back down the line - can the second players please take their places at the podium?

0:22:00 > 0:22:06OK, we are going to put another six famous bridges on the board. And here they are...

0:22:16 > 0:22:19I'll just read all those again.

0:22:25 > 0:22:29Remember, we are looking for the cities that these bridges are nearest to or in,

0:22:29 > 0:22:35and you are trying to find the one that the fewest of our 100 people knew. Now, Lawrie, you are on 58.

0:22:35 > 0:22:41If you can score 41 or less with this answer, you are in the head-to-head.

0:22:41 > 0:22:43I think you might be good on these.

0:22:43 > 0:22:48There is a list of bridges behind me, and I think you probably know each and every one of them.

0:22:48 > 0:22:54It's geography again, and I'm dreadful. I don't even know if this is right, but...

0:22:54 > 0:22:58I've just remembered, the first time we had you on the show,

0:22:58 > 0:23:01you said you couldn't even find your way to the bathroom.

0:23:01 > 0:23:07This might not even be right, but I'm going to take a guess that Waterloo Bridge is in London.

0:23:07 > 0:23:09- That's a guess?- Hmm.

0:23:09 > 0:23:13Where is your bathroom in relation to your bedroom?

0:23:13 > 0:23:16- I don't even know.- Waterloo Bridge, top of the list.

0:23:16 > 0:23:20OK, there's your red line - below that red line, you are through to the head-to-head.

0:23:20 > 0:23:26Let's see if Waterloo Bridge is indeed in London and if it is, let's see how many people said it.

0:23:26 > 0:23:28Waterloo Bridge.

0:23:32 > 0:23:3763. That takes your total up to 121.

0:23:37 > 0:23:40- Waterloo Bridge. - Yeah, big risk there(!)

0:23:40 > 0:23:43Big risk, Waterloo Bridge. It is London, it's the longest bridge in London.

0:23:43 > 0:23:44So, then, Rachel,

0:23:44 > 0:23:49you are on 100. You were the highest scorers, you are no longer.

0:23:49 > 0:23:54If you can score 20 or less with your answer, you are through to the head-to-head.

0:23:54 > 0:23:57- That's quite exciting - you have been thrown a bit of a lifeline.- Yeah.

0:23:57 > 0:24:03I'm going to go for one which might score lower and I think I've walked across it.

0:24:03 > 0:24:07I think the Charles Bridge is in Prague.

0:24:07 > 0:24:10The Charles Bridge in Prague, very good.

0:24:10 > 0:24:12OK, here's your red line - it's quite low,

0:24:12 > 0:24:18but if the Charles Bridge in Prague gets you below that red line, you are in the head-to-head.

0:24:18 > 0:24:21Let's see how many people said it. Charles Bridge, Prague.

0:24:21 > 0:24:23It's right.

0:24:28 > 0:24:30Yes, it's done it!

0:24:30 > 0:24:32Very good indeed, Rachel.

0:24:32 > 0:24:34The Charles Bridge scores you 4 points,

0:24:34 > 0:24:39takes your total up to 104 and takes you through to the head-to-head.

0:24:39 > 0:24:41Great answer, Rachel, it's the best answer we've had in this round.

0:24:41 > 0:24:45It's a 14th-century stone Gothic bridge in the middle of Prague.

0:24:45 > 0:24:48So, then... Jamie, you are on 31.

0:24:48 > 0:24:53If you can score 89 or less,

0:24:53 > 0:24:55you are through to the next round.

0:24:55 > 0:24:59To be honest, I don't have a clue.

0:24:59 > 0:25:02How much pressure are you feeling from your boss right now?

0:25:02 > 0:25:04Feeling that my wage packet might be a bit slimmer

0:25:04 > 0:25:06at the end of the month.

0:25:06 > 0:25:08Wow, that is performance-related pay.

0:25:10 > 0:25:12Right, I am going to go with the Rialto Bridge as Madrid.

0:25:12 > 0:25:16The Rialto Bridge, Madrid. OK.

0:25:16 > 0:25:18Here's your red line,

0:25:18 > 0:25:20nice and high.

0:25:20 > 0:25:23All you have to do is get this answer right.

0:25:23 > 0:25:27Let's see if it's a correct answer and if it is, let's see how many people said

0:25:27 > 0:25:29the Rialto Bridge was in Madrid.

0:25:33 > 0:25:38I'm afraid that is incorrect and that means you score the maximum of 100

0:25:38 > 0:25:44and that takes your score up to an unbeatable, I'm afraid, 131 points.

0:25:44 > 0:25:46- Richard.- Tough luck, Jamie.

0:25:46 > 0:25:49The good news is Phil looked like he took it pretty well, I have to say.

0:25:49 > 0:25:53- Hopefully so.- Looked pretty happy about the whole thing.

0:25:53 > 0:25:58The Rialto is actually the oldest bridge across the Grand Canal in Venice,

0:25:58 > 0:26:02the Rialto Bridge, and would have scored 16 points, so wouldn't have been a bad answer at all.

0:26:02 > 0:26:06- Let's take a look at the other... the Clifton Suspension Bridge, Alexander?- Bristol.

0:26:06 > 0:26:10- Bristol, exactly. Would have scored you 37. Ponte Vecchio?- Florence.

0:26:10 > 0:26:14Is in Florence, across the Arno, would have scored you 2 points.

0:26:14 > 0:26:17And the Blauwbrug is a pointless answer - it's Amsterdam.

0:26:17 > 0:26:19So, very well done if you got that.

0:26:19 > 0:26:23Thanks, Richard. At the end of Round Two, the losing pair with the highest score...

0:26:23 > 0:26:24I'm afraid it's Phil and Jamie.

0:26:24 > 0:26:26You did so well in the first round.

0:26:26 > 0:26:29You added £500 to the jackpot.

0:26:29 > 0:26:31Enjoy, people.

0:26:31 > 0:26:34- Whose idea was it to come on the show?- It was yours, really.

0:26:34 > 0:26:42- Yes, take the blame.- You are going to be back next time and you will have a shot at that jackpot.

0:26:42 > 0:26:46Great shame to be saying goodbye to you so early on, but thanks for playing, great contestants.

0:26:46 > 0:26:47APPLAUSE

0:26:47 > 0:26:50For the remaining two pairs, things are about to get even more exciting now

0:26:50 > 0:26:51as we enter the head-to-head.

0:26:58 > 0:27:02We have already said goodbye to two teams. It's now time to find out which of our remaining pairs

0:27:02 > 0:27:08will be playing for today's jackpot, which currently stands at £5,750.

0:27:08 > 0:27:09APPLAUSE

0:27:11 > 0:27:16So, Judith and Lawrie, Rachel and Clare you are now going to head-to- head on the best of three questions.

0:27:16 > 0:27:19You are now allowed to confer.

0:27:19 > 0:27:21All you have to do is give an answer each time that scores less

0:27:21 > 0:27:25than the opposing pair and you will win that question.

0:27:25 > 0:27:30First player to win two questions will be playing for today's jackpot. OK, let's play Pointless.

0:27:33 > 0:27:37Here is your first question. We gave 100 people 100 seconds

0:27:37 > 0:27:43to name as many types of singing voice as they could.

0:27:43 > 0:27:45- Richard.- We're looking for the main categories

0:27:45 > 0:27:48that male and female singing voices are divided into,

0:27:48 > 0:27:51depending on how high or low they are.

0:27:51 > 0:27:56Judith and Lawrie, because you have played best out of the show so far, you get to go first.

0:28:05 > 0:28:09- OK, we have an answer from Judith and Lawrie.- Going to go for alto.

0:28:09 > 0:28:12Alto. OK, Rachel and Clare.

0:28:12 > 0:28:15I think baritone.

0:28:15 > 0:28:17- Baritone.- Yes.

0:28:17 > 0:28:21OK, we have alto and we have baritone.

0:28:21 > 0:28:24Judith and Lawrie said alto - let's see how many people said alto.

0:28:28 > 0:28:3064 said alto.

0:28:33 > 0:28:37Rachel and Clare have said baritone - let's see how many people said that.

0:28:41 > 0:28:43It's right.

0:28:44 > 0:28:4628.

0:28:48 > 0:28:52So, after the first question, Rachel and Clare are ahead 1-0. ..Richard.

0:28:52 > 0:28:54Yeah, baritone is a very good answer.

0:28:54 > 0:28:57There are three answers that would have beaten it, so let's take a look at those.

0:28:57 > 0:29:00There's a couple of very low scores here.

0:29:07 > 0:29:09..There's baritone on 28, in between bass and tenor.

0:29:19 > 0:29:23Thanks very much, Richard. Here is your second question.

0:29:23 > 0:29:27Rachel and Clare, if you win this point, you are straight through to the final and a chance to win

0:29:27 > 0:29:31that massive jackpot. Judith and Lawrie, you have to win this point to stay in the game.

0:29:31 > 0:29:39OK, we gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many of the world's most expensive footballers

0:29:39 > 0:29:43as they could. Footballers, Richard.

0:29:43 > 0:29:48We are looking any of the ten players who have been sold for the highest amount of money

0:29:48 > 0:29:52from one club to another, the biggest transfer fees, essentially, anywhere in the world -

0:29:52 > 0:29:58that's up to the end of May 2010. Any of the world's ten most expensive footballers.

0:29:58 > 0:30:00Rachel and Clare, this time it's your turn to go first.

0:30:06 > 0:30:09- OK, we are going to say Tevez. - Rachel and Clare say Tevez.

0:30:09 > 0:30:11Judith and Lawrie?

0:30:11 > 0:30:18Not that hot on football, but I'm going to say Ronaldinho, signed to Manchester City.

0:30:18 > 0:30:21Ronaldinho. OK, we have Tevez, we have Ronaldinho.

0:30:21 > 0:30:26Rachel and Clare, if you win this point, you are straight through to the final.

0:30:26 > 0:30:30Tevez - let's see if it's right and if it is, let's see how many people said Tevez.

0:30:34 > 0:30:39Bad luck - that is an incorrect answer.

0:30:39 > 0:30:44So, Judith and Lawrie, Ronaldinho only has to be correct for you to win this point.

0:30:44 > 0:30:49Let's see if it's right and if it is, let's see how many people said Ronaldinho.

0:30:49 > 0:30:50Ooh!

0:30:50 > 0:30:52Also incorrect.

0:30:52 > 0:30:56After two questions, Rachel and Clare are still ahead 1-0. ..Richard.

0:30:56 > 0:30:58I think, Lawrie, you were thinking of Robinho,

0:30:58 > 0:31:02who was sold to Man City for 32 and half million. He was on the list.

0:31:02 > 0:31:04Let's take a look at all of the top ten...

0:31:19 > 0:31:23And Cristiano Ronaldo, the most expensive of all, would have scored you 68 points.

0:31:23 > 0:31:27Thanks very much, Richard. Here is your third question.

0:31:27 > 0:31:31Again, Judith and Lawrie, you have to win this point to stay in the game.

0:31:31 > 0:31:36We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...

0:31:36 > 0:31:42DH Lawrence novels as they could. DH Lawrence novels. ..Richard.

0:31:42 > 0:31:45We are looking for any of DH Lawrence's 12 novels, novels only -

0:31:45 > 0:31:51no short stories, compilations, journalism, anything like that - just the 12 novels of DH Lawrence.

0:31:51 > 0:31:55OK, Judith and Lawrie, it's your turn to go first again.

0:31:59 > 0:32:03Well, between us we know a staggering total of one DH Lawrence novel. We are going to have to go

0:32:03 > 0:32:08- with the only one we know, which is Lady Chatterley's Lover. - Lady Chatterley's Lover.

0:32:08 > 0:32:10Rachel and Clare?

0:32:10 > 0:32:13- Something about a rainbow. - I can't think of anything else.

0:32:16 > 0:32:21Over The Rainbow? That's rubbish. Um...Over The Rainbow.

0:32:21 > 0:32:24Over The Rainbow. >

0:32:24 > 0:32:28Let's take them in the order they've been given. Judith and Lawrie said Lady Chatterley's Lover.

0:32:28 > 0:32:32Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many people said

0:32:32 > 0:32:36Lady Chatterley's Lover. You have to win this point to stay with us.

0:32:42 > 0:32:4642.

0:32:46 > 0:32:4942 for Lady Chatterley's Lover.

0:32:49 > 0:32:53Rachel and Clare have gone for Over The Rainbow.

0:32:53 > 0:32:55A DH Lawrence novel - they've said Over The Rainbow.

0:32:55 > 0:33:00Let's see if that's correct and if it is, let's see how many people said it. Over the Rainbow.

0:33:04 > 0:33:10Bad luck. After our third question, it is one point apiece. Richard.

0:33:10 > 0:33:13Rachel, you should have a bit more faith in yourself.

0:33:13 > 0:33:15Somewhere in the back of your mind, you know the answer -

0:33:15 > 0:33:20- you would have won the points with The Rainbow.- Oh, no. - Just The Rainbow.- Yeah.

0:33:20 > 0:33:24Let's take a look at them - there are five pointless answers here...

0:33:29 > 0:33:32Very well done if you said any of those pointless answers.

0:33:43 > 0:33:45And we've heard of course, Lady Chatterley's Lover, 42 -

0:33:45 > 0:33:48top of the list but wins you the points.

0:33:48 > 0:33:51Well done, Judith and Lawrie. You are still in the game.

0:33:51 > 0:33:54Here is your fourth question. We gave 100 people 100 seconds

0:33:54 > 0:34:02to name as many...elements beginning with A as they could. ..Richard.

0:34:02 > 0:34:07We are looking for any of the seven elements on the periodic table whose English name begins with A.

0:34:07 > 0:34:10See if you can get all seven at home.

0:34:10 > 0:34:12Rachel and Clare, your turn to go first.

0:34:14 > 0:34:16- Argon.- Argon.

0:34:16 > 0:34:18Yes.

0:34:18 > 0:34:20Judith and Lawrie?

0:34:20 > 0:34:24That's what we were going to go for. I'm trying to think...

0:34:24 > 0:34:31I've got a lot of good friends at university that do chemistry that are shouting at the telly now at me.

0:34:31 > 0:34:35- We are going to have to go aluminium.- Aluminium. We have argon, we have aluminium.

0:34:35 > 0:34:39Rachel and Clare have said argon - let's see how many people said argon.

0:34:39 > 0:34:42It's correct.

0:34:46 > 0:34:4734.

0:34:49 > 0:34:51Judith and Lawrie have gone for aluminium.

0:34:51 > 0:34:54Let's see if that's correct and if it is, let's see how many people said aluminium.

0:34:54 > 0:35:01This is for a place in the final - whoever wins this point is through to the final.

0:35:01 > 0:35:04Let's see if aluminium is indeed an element.

0:35:07 > 0:35:08It's right.

0:35:12 > 0:35:1550 - bad luck.

0:35:15 > 0:35:21So, after four questions, Rachel and Clare are through to the final. 2-1. Richard.

0:35:21 > 0:35:23They were actually the top two answers, and I know that plenty

0:35:23 > 0:35:27of people at home will be getting all seven, so let's take a look at them...

0:35:40 > 0:35:44Thanks, Richard. So, the losing pair at the end of the head-to-head, I'm afraid it's Judith and Lawrie.

0:35:44 > 0:35:48It was a close-run thing that, though, wasn't it? Wow.

0:35:48 > 0:35:50It was. If I could have seen their cross come up for Tevez,

0:35:50 > 0:35:54I would have gone for Cristiano Ronaldo, but it's not how it works.

0:35:54 > 0:35:56It's not how it works - it's really tough, that.

0:35:56 > 0:35:59Judith and Lawrie, I'm afraid you've been fantastic contestants.

0:35:59 > 0:36:01You've come through to the head-to-head, you've done well,

0:36:01 > 0:36:04but I'm afraid this is where we say goodbye.

0:36:04 > 0:36:05Thanks so much for playing Pointless, thank you.

0:36:05 > 0:36:08APPLAUSE

0:36:08 > 0:36:14But for Rachel and Clare, it's now time for our Pointless final and the chance to win £5,750.

0:36:17 > 0:36:22So, congratulations, Rachel and Clare. You've seen off all the competition,

0:36:22 > 0:36:26you will be leaving here with our coveted Pointless trophy, well done.

0:36:26 > 0:36:28APPLAUSE

0:36:33 > 0:36:36However, you now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot,

0:36:36 > 0:36:42and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at an unbelievably high £5,750.

0:36:42 > 0:36:45APPLAUSE

0:36:45 > 0:36:49Now, the rules are very simple. To win the money, all you have to do is find a pointless answer.

0:36:49 > 0:36:51That's an answer that none of our 100 people thought of.

0:36:51 > 0:36:55Now, we've had two pointless answers on the show today - you just have to find one more

0:36:55 > 0:36:58and you go home with that money. First, you've got to choose a category

0:36:58 > 0:37:02from these three options. You can go for...

0:37:11 > 0:37:14What do you think?

0:37:14 > 0:37:18I'm not particularly good on any of those, but do you feel confident on any?

0:37:20 > 0:37:26I quite like film detectives, but I'm not sure I could get a pointless answer on that.

0:37:26 > 0:37:31Possibly languages. Not universities, I wouldn't go for universities.

0:37:31 > 0:37:34- OK, we'll go for film detectives. - Film detectives.

0:37:34 > 0:37:36Let's find out what the question is.

0:37:36 > 0:37:39We gave 100 people 100 seconds

0:37:39 > 0:37:42to name as many...

0:37:42 > 0:37:47actors who have played Sherlock Holmes on film as they could.

0:37:47 > 0:37:53Actors who have played Sherlock Holmes on film. Richard.

0:37:53 > 0:37:56We are looking for the name of any actor who has been credited as Sherlock Holmes

0:37:56 > 0:38:01in an English language feature film. We are not looking for TV versions or anything like that, short films.

0:38:01 > 0:38:07We are looking for cinema-released Sherlock Holmes and the actors who played him.

0:38:07 > 0:38:11You now have up to one minute to come up with three answers

0:38:11 > 0:38:19and all you need to win that £5,750 is for just one of those answers to be pointless.

0:38:19 > 0:38:20Your 60 seconds start now.

0:38:20 > 0:38:23With Jude Law...there was a film just recently

0:38:23 > 0:38:26with Jude Law - would that be counted?

0:38:26 > 0:38:29- Was he actually...?- No, it was...

0:38:29 > 0:38:31the bloke who played Iron Man...

0:38:31 > 0:38:32Robert...

0:38:32 > 0:38:36- What's his name?- I don't know.

0:38:36 > 0:38:38I've forgotten his surname.

0:38:38 > 0:38:40Robert Downey Jr. He played Sherlock Holmes.

0:38:40 > 0:38:43- 30 seconds.- We don't know any others.

0:38:43 > 0:38:45- It's not pointless, but...- OK.

0:38:45 > 0:38:48..we'll go for Robert Downey Jr.

0:38:48 > 0:38:51Guy Ritchie did it. So that was an English one.

0:38:51 > 0:38:54- That was a film?- That was a film, but that's quite popular.

0:38:54 > 0:38:56I can't think.

0:38:56 > 0:38:59And what about Peter...?

0:39:01 > 0:39:06Your time is up. We are looking for actors who have played Sherlock Holmes

0:39:06 > 0:39:09on film, and I need your three answers.

0:39:09 > 0:39:12- Robert Downey Jr. - Robert Downey Jr.

0:39:12 > 0:39:13Rupert Quint.

0:39:13 > 0:39:18- Rupert Quint.- And George...Clarke.

0:39:18 > 0:39:22George Clarke. LAUGHTER

0:39:22 > 0:39:26OK, Robert Downey Jr, Rupert Quint and George Clarke...

0:39:26 > 0:39:29Let's put them up on the board, shall we?

0:39:35 > 0:39:37..and George Clarke...

0:39:37 > 0:39:40with an E.

0:39:41 > 0:39:45OK, we are looking for actors who have played Sherlock Holmes on film.

0:39:45 > 0:39:47This was your first answer.

0:39:47 > 0:39:52You only need one of these to be pointless to win that £5,750 jackpot.

0:39:52 > 0:39:58All right, let's see how many people said your first answer, Robert Downey Jr.

0:39:58 > 0:40:00Robert Downey Jr.

0:40:00 > 0:40:04This has to be pointless for you to win that £5,750 jackpot.

0:40:12 > 0:40:13It's down to the 50s, 40s, 30s...

0:40:13 > 0:40:15It has to go all the way down to zero

0:40:15 > 0:40:17for you to win that jackpot.

0:40:17 > 0:40:1819.

0:40:18 > 0:40:20APPLAUSE

0:40:20 > 0:40:28So, 19 people said Robert Downey Jr, so unfortunately that is not a pointless answer.

0:40:28 > 0:40:31You only have two more shots at that jackpot.

0:40:31 > 0:40:35- Rupert Quint.- Yes.

0:40:35 > 0:40:37Is he an actor?

0:40:37 > 0:40:42I have no idea - it just sounded... Sherlock Holmesy.

0:40:42 > 0:40:44It's a brilliant name.

0:40:44 > 0:40:49Let's see if it's a correct answer and if it is, let's see how many people said Rupert Quint.

0:40:49 > 0:40:51This for £5,750.

0:40:55 > 0:40:58Oh, I can't believe that(!)

0:40:58 > 0:41:02OK, Rupert Quint, I'm afraid, is not a pointless answer. George Clarke, on the other hand...

0:41:02 > 0:41:06Do you know what? George Clarke - what a great name!

0:41:06 > 0:41:10I would imagine some time in the '30s maybe, black and white.

0:41:10 > 0:41:17Famous Sherlock Holmes. You only have one final chance to win today's jackpot.

0:41:17 > 0:41:20We are looking for actors who have played Sherlock Holmes on film.

0:41:20 > 0:41:25This is your final answer, your final shot at the jackpot. George Clarke.

0:41:25 > 0:41:28This has to be correct and has to be pointless, obviously, for you to win

0:41:28 > 0:41:33that jackpot of £5,750. Let's see if anyone said George Clarke.

0:41:37 > 0:41:42Bad luck - sadly... APPLAUSE

0:41:44 > 0:41:48..sadly, Clarke never took the Holmes role.

0:41:48 > 0:41:51Unfortunately, you didn't manage to find that pointless answer,

0:41:51 > 0:41:56so you don't win today's jackpot of £5,750, which rolls over to the next show.

0:41:56 > 0:42:00But you have been fantastic and you do take home our Pointless trophy.

0:42:00 > 0:42:03APPLAUSE

0:42:03 > 0:42:06- So, Richard. - That's tough, that is tough.

0:42:06 > 0:42:10- Let's take a look - there were a bunch of pointless answers.- I think I know a pointless answer.- OK, go on.

0:42:10 > 0:42:14- Nick Rowe. Nicholas Rowe. - Nicholas Rowe.- Would that have won me the jackpot?

0:42:14 > 0:42:20- And when do you think he played Sherlock Holmes?- He played Young Sherlock Holmes.

0:42:20 > 0:42:25Let's take a little look at all the pointless answers and see if he's up there, shall we?

0:42:25 > 0:42:29Very well done if you got any of these.

0:42:29 > 0:42:32Raymond Massey, who was in The Speckled Band,

0:42:32 > 0:42:35Nicol Williamson was in The Seven-Per-Cent Solution.

0:42:35 > 0:42:39Douglas Wilmer was in the Gene Wilder movie The Adventures Of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother.

0:42:39 > 0:42:42He played Sherlock, though. Let's take a look at the next page...

0:42:42 > 0:42:47Goodness me! Nicholas Rowe.

0:42:47 > 0:42:49There's John Neville in Study Of Terror.

0:42:49 > 0:42:53Nicholas Rowe, as you rightly say, was the Young Sherlock Holmes, in the '80s.

0:42:53 > 0:42:57Arthur Wontner played him five times. Let's take a look at the last page.

0:42:57 > 0:42:59Reginald Owen, who was in A Study In Scarlet.

0:42:59 > 0:43:01Rodney Litchfield, who was in Testimony.

0:43:01 > 0:43:05And Guy Rolfe was in The Case Of Marcel Duchamp.

0:43:05 > 0:43:07All of those were pointless answers,

0:43:07 > 0:43:10so very well done if you got any of those at home. A very tough question.

0:43:10 > 0:43:12Unfortunately, we do have to say goodbye to you, Rachel and Clare.

0:43:12 > 0:43:15It's been great having you on the show, thank you both for playing.

0:43:15 > 0:43:16- Thank you. BOTH:- Thank you.

0:43:16 > 0:43:19APPLAUSE

0:43:19 > 0:43:21So, once again nobody has won our jackpot.

0:43:21 > 0:43:25So it rolls over, which means, on the next show, we'll be playing for...

0:43:25 > 0:43:32£6,750. Join us next time to see if someone can win it. Meanwhile, its goodbye from Richard.

0:43:32 > 0:43:35- Goodbye.- And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.

0:43:37 > 0:43:40If you want to be on the next series of Pointless,
