0:00:16 > 0:00:18APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:00:21 > 0:00:23Thank you very, very much indeed.
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome
0:00:25 > 0:00:29to the 100th edition of Pointless. Oh, yes.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31WHOOPING AND WHISTLING
0:00:33 > 0:00:37100th edition. This is the quiz show where points are to be avoided,
0:00:37 > 0:00:41and obscurity should be embraced. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43APPLAUSE
0:00:44 > 0:00:50Firstly, we welcome Graham and Valerie. It's your first time on the show. How do you know each other?
0:00:50 > 0:00:54We erm...met a long time ago
0:00:54 > 0:00:57at a famous holiday camp up in Yorkshire...
0:00:57 > 0:01:01- Wow.- ..and we've been married for nearly 31 years now.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05- 31 years. Well done! - APPLAUSE
0:01:05 > 0:01:09100 shows, 31 years. It's going to be one of those milestone shows, I think, isn't it?
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Where do you live now?
0:01:13 > 0:01:15We've been living for about the last 25 years in Bristol.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18- Or near Bristol.- Near Bristol.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Oh, come on - where near Bristol?!
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Well, it's a town called Yate,
0:01:22 > 0:01:26which is about 10 or 12 miles northwest of Bristol.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31- No, you're going to have to be more specific(!) - On the way to Gloucester.
0:01:31 > 0:01:36It's that kind of precision we're going to want from you today. Best of luck to you.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40Next we welcome Charlotte and Diane. How do you two know each other?
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Erm, we both met at the University of Manchester last year,
0:01:43 > 0:01:46and we're living together and both studying Spanish.
0:01:46 > 0:01:52Both studying Spanish? You're hoping for lots of good Spanish questions. Richard, have we got any coming up?
0:01:52 > 0:01:54SPANISH ACCENT: No!
0:01:55 > 0:01:57If that's Spanish for no.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00- Yeah.- Is that Spanish for no? - That is, yeah.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03- Whoa. Well done, Richard, that was good.- Thanks.- That was brilliant.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05Si, si.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07God, it's like being IN Spain.
0:02:07 > 0:02:08LAUGHTER
0:02:08 > 0:02:14Well, very best of luck to you on the show. I hope all those Spanish questions come up this show.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16(It's not going to happen.)
0:02:16 > 0:02:21Steve 1 and Steve 2, welcome back. The neighbours. The poker players.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24The Steves of Southampton. Surely you know them?
0:02:24 > 0:02:26LAUGHTER
0:02:26 > 0:02:28You were on the show last time. Remind us how you did.
0:02:28 > 0:02:29We got to the head-to-head...
0:02:30 > 0:02:33..but then lost two-nil. So...
0:02:33 > 0:02:34It was planets with moons.
0:02:34 > 0:02:35Yes, it was.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38And it was Mary Poppins.
0:02:38 > 0:02:39It was.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42It wasn't even like you came up with a bad song from Mary Poppins,
0:02:42 > 0:02:47it's just you happened to be up against...Mary Poppins on the other team.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50Anyway, I have high hopes for you. I think you're going to go all the way.
0:02:50 > 0:02:56Our final pair - we welcome Paul and Sophie, you were also on last time. Remind us how YOU did.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Well, we did brilliantly in the first round
0:02:58 > 0:03:01and then absolutely crashed and burned in the second round.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03What was it that did for you?
0:03:03 > 0:03:08- It was comic book heroes. - Oh, it was heroes, yes. Heroes and their nemeses.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10- Didn't have a clue.- No. No, it was a really tough one.
0:03:10 > 0:03:15OK. Well, best of luck to the pair of you. We will find out more about all of you throughout the show -
0:03:15 > 0:03:17there's one more person though.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21He's my Pointless friend, and facts and figures are his bread and butter. He's Richard.
0:03:21 > 0:03:22Hiya.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27- Afternoon. - Good afternoon to you, Richard.
0:03:27 > 0:03:32- 100 shows.- 100 shows! Who would ever have thought we'd have made it this far?
0:03:32 > 0:03:34Although in Pointless-speak, 100's very bad.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38- That's true.- We should have celebrated our FIRST show.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40- Yeah...- 100, we should hang our heads in shame.
0:03:41 > 0:03:46But yeah, as you say, 100th show - very big jackpot as well...
0:03:46 > 0:03:48It can only be a crushing anticlimax, I suspect.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50LAUGHTER
0:03:52 > 0:03:56And to all the rest of you, please let's make this a good show.
0:03:56 > 0:03:57LAUGHTER
0:03:57 > 0:04:02- I will do my best. Alexander, I'm sure you'll do your best.- I'll try...
0:04:02 > 0:04:04LAUGHTER
0:04:04 > 0:04:08We've put all our questions to 100 people before the show, but this is Pointless,
0:04:08 > 0:04:11so we are after the obscure answers they DIDN'T get.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Now, for a chance to win our jackpot
0:04:13 > 0:04:16all our players need to do is score as few points as they possibly can.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18What everyone's trying to find is a pointless answer -
0:04:18 > 0:04:21an answer that none of our 100 people gave -
0:04:21 > 0:04:26and each time that happens, if it happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Now, nobody's won the jackpot for ages -
0:04:28 > 0:04:33and we add another £1,000 to last time's jackpot, so today's jackpot starts off at...
0:04:37 > 0:04:38WHOOPING AND APPLAUSE
0:04:40 > 0:04:42OK, let's play Pointless.
0:04:46 > 0:04:52So in the first round each of you must give me one answer, and you cannot confer with your partner.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56Whichever team has the highest score at the end of the round will be eliminated.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58OK, our category for the first round is...
0:05:01 > 0:05:02..Natural History.
0:05:02 > 0:05:07Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09And whoever's going first, step up to the podium.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15OK, let's find out what the first question is...
0:05:15 > 0:05:18We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:05:18 > 0:05:23to name as many types of spider as they could.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Types of spider, Valerie. Richard...?
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Yeah, nice easy way for ME to kick off the 100th show - all we're looking for here,
0:05:29 > 0:05:32the correct answers are all types of spider.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34LAUGHTER
0:05:34 > 0:05:36- You are red hot, Richard.- Yeah.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39- Thank you. - You get sharper and sharper.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41- I do, don't I?- You do.- Yep.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Valerie and Graham, before the show you all drew lots
0:05:44 > 0:05:46and today you get to go first.
0:05:46 > 0:05:51Right. In this round we're going to give you a choice of seven possible answers in each pass.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55The first set of possible spiders reads like this...
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Just going to read those again.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Now, at least one of those answers is pointless -
0:06:19 > 0:06:24but be careful, because at least one of those is also incorrect
0:06:24 > 0:06:26and will score you the maximum of 100 points.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Graham. How good's your natural history?
0:06:29 > 0:06:34I didn't really... stop to think about how good or bad my natural history was,
0:06:34 > 0:06:38but now that these have come up - not very good I think.
0:06:38 > 0:06:39Right...
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Have you been to countries where they have exotic spiders
0:06:42 > 0:06:45that hurt-slash-kill you?
0:06:45 > 0:06:48I have, a long time ago, but erm... always did my best to avoid them.
0:06:48 > 0:06:49What are you going to go for?
0:06:49 > 0:06:53I'm going to go for the Goliath bird-eating spider.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55Someone was going to have to go for that one.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59I'd quite like to see a spider eat a bird. I wouldn't really.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01I know an old woman who swallowed a fly...
0:07:02 > 0:07:03- Why?- I don't know why.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07But a spider eating a bird -
0:07:07 > 0:07:10how absurd! They've got that out of sync!
0:07:10 > 0:07:11LAUGHTER
0:07:11 > 0:07:15Anyway... OK, you're going to go for the Goliath -
0:07:15 > 0:07:18I see where they got that bit from - the Goliath bird-eating spider.
0:07:18 > 0:07:19Let's see if it's correct -
0:07:19 > 0:07:22and if it is, let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Goliath bird-eating spider. Is it right?
0:07:27 > 0:07:28It's right!
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Ooh. I think this might be adding
0:07:31 > 0:07:33some money to our jackpot...
0:07:35 > 0:07:37APPLAUSE
0:07:37 > 0:07:39That scores you
0:07:39 > 0:07:4110 points, Graham. A great start, though.
0:07:41 > 0:07:46Yeah, the Goliath bird-eating spider. As its name suggests, the largest spider in the world.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50If you don't like spiders, some of these can be 11 INCHES across.
0:07:50 > 0:07:5211-inch spider. Imagine that in your bath.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54LAUGHTER
0:07:55 > 0:08:00OK. We're looking for types of spider, Diane. What do you think?
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Do you know many of these spiders behind me?
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Sorry...
0:08:05 > 0:08:07LAUGHTER
0:08:08 > 0:08:09I think er...
0:08:09 > 0:08:12I think most of my friends and family would
0:08:12 > 0:08:16all agree that I have a bit of a severe case of arachnophobia...
0:08:16 > 0:08:19- OK. Good to know your enemy, though, Diane.- Yeah.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21It's true. Erm...
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Goliath bird-eating has gone...
0:08:24 > 0:08:26I did like the look of that one.
0:08:26 > 0:08:27- I bet you wouldn't if you saw it. - No.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29LAUGHTER
0:08:29 > 0:08:32Havanese. Just going to have a go.
0:08:32 > 0:08:33Havanese.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36There it is, third on the list. Let's see if it's correct -
0:08:36 > 0:08:40and if it is, let's see how many people said the Havanese or Hah-vanese spider.
0:08:44 > 0:08:45- Oh, no! Diane! - GROANING
0:08:46 > 0:08:50I was convinced that was going to go all the way down.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52I also rather liked the way I said "Hah-vanese" -
0:08:52 > 0:08:55made it sound like I knew what it was!
0:08:55 > 0:08:58And if it was right everyone would think, "Oh, he knew that."
0:08:58 > 0:09:01Unfortunately that's an incorrect answer
0:09:01 > 0:09:04which means you score the maximum of 100 points. Richard?
0:09:04 > 0:09:08Yeah, the Havanese is actually a small, cute, furry dog.
0:09:08 > 0:09:13And it's the natural prey of the Goliath Havanese-eating spider!
0:09:13 > 0:09:16LAUGHTER
0:09:16 > 0:09:21Oh, dear, I'm so sorry. It may not be the last high score like that.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23OK.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27Steve 1, spiders, we're looking for types of spider.
0:09:27 > 0:09:28Behind me...
0:09:28 > 0:09:31Look at that board, there's an incorrect answer
0:09:31 > 0:09:33that Diane has mine-swept for you.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37There's most certainly a pointless answer on that board.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41I'm fairly certain I have heard of a banana spider.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43So I'm going to go for banana.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46Banana spider, OK. I think I've heard of one of those, as well.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49I think they're nasty.
0:09:50 > 0:09:51Nasty flavour!
0:09:51 > 0:09:53LAUGHTER
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Let's see if it's right.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58If it is, let's see how many people said banana spider.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Down it goes.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09Oh!
0:10:09 > 0:10:12APPLAUSE
0:10:12 > 0:10:14That's a fantastic answer, Steve number 1.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16And it scores you 1.
0:10:16 > 0:10:17Richard, banana spider?
0:10:17 > 0:10:19It is a good answer, but yeah, they are very mean.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23They call it banana spider cos it's often found in banana shipments.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26- Wow.- Another reason not to have your five a day!
0:10:26 > 0:10:28LAUGHTER
0:10:29 > 0:10:31OK, we are looking for types of spider.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Sophie, you are the last person to have this board.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36You can talk us through it.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39On that board is at least one pointless answer.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43The worst thing that can happen is you'll be a joint high scorer.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45It's not anything like the same as
0:10:45 > 0:10:47the ignominy of being single high scorer.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49SHE LAUGHS
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Sorry, Diane, don't mean to rub it in!
0:10:52 > 0:10:55- Making me feel a lot better! - It's true.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59- The best that could happen is you add 250 quid to the jackpot.- Well...
0:10:59 > 0:11:01tarantula seems pretty well known.
0:11:01 > 0:11:05I've never heard of Zuckerman spider.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08- So, I'll go for that one. - Zuckerman spider.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10What do you think it looks like?
0:11:10 > 0:11:14I'm thinking... I'm thinking Zimmerman - Bob Dylan!
0:11:14 > 0:11:17This little guitar-playing spider!
0:11:17 > 0:11:19LAUGHTER
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Are you thinking the Zuckerman when it was still in the folk phase
0:11:22 > 0:11:24or after he's gone electric?
0:11:24 > 0:11:27- I think, before electric.- OK.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Zuckerman spider, let's see if that's correct, and if it is,
0:11:30 > 0:11:33how many people said it? Zuckerman spider.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41You see? Much less ignominious. There are two of you now.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45I thought that was going all the way down, Sophie.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47I thought that was the pointless.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50Unfortunately, you and I were both wrong. It's incorrect
0:11:50 > 0:11:53and scores you the maximum of 100 points. Richard,
0:11:53 > 0:11:55two incorrect answers on the board.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58It's nice to have two scores of 100 on our 100th show. Very fitting.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03Sorry, I appreciate your efforts, Diane and Sophie, thank you.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05But, no, Zuckerman is
0:12:05 > 0:12:08the farm where Charlotte the spider lives in Charlotte's Web.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10Let's look through the rest of the board.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Tarantula, obviously, is a spider.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15It would have scored you a hefty 53 points.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19House spider as well, of course, that would have scored you 18.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21And by process of elimination,
0:12:21 > 0:12:23the pointless answer is crab spider
0:12:23 > 0:12:25so well done if you said crab spider at home.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27There's a spider crab and a crab spider?
0:12:27 > 0:12:30- Yeah.- How do you like that?!
0:12:30 > 0:12:34We're halfway through the round so let's look at the scores.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37What a massive field we have there.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Paul and Sophie, Charlotte and Diane,
0:12:39 > 0:12:42both on 100, so Paul and Charlotte,
0:12:42 > 0:12:46you each have a job to do. Steve 1 and Steve 2,
0:12:46 > 0:12:48what an answer. That was brilliant.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52So, Steve 2, basically you just sit back and take it easy this round,
0:12:52 > 0:12:54doesn't matter what you say.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57You'll be through to the next round, I reckon. Graham and Valerie,
0:12:57 > 0:13:00much the same. Brilliant answer from Graham.
0:13:00 > 0:13:01So, Valerie, take it easy,
0:13:01 > 0:13:04or see if you can winkle out that pointless answer
0:13:04 > 0:13:06and add some more money to the jackpot.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10Right, can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:13:12 > 0:13:15OK, we're going to put another seven answers on the board.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17We're looking for types of spider. Here we go.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Let me read that out again.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Sounds like a poem!
0:13:37 > 0:13:41Again, I can tell you at least one of those answers is pointless.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43There is also at least one incorrect answer
0:13:43 > 0:13:46so do try and avoid that or those.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Right, Paul,
0:13:48 > 0:13:49you are on 100,
0:13:49 > 0:13:51you are our joint high scorer.
0:13:51 > 0:13:56You're going to have to find as low a possible score as you can.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59Obviously I shouldn't pick any of the ones that are obvious.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01So...
0:14:03 > 0:14:05..I'm going to go for dwarf and hope for the best.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09I'm guessing that's quite a small spider.
0:14:09 > 0:14:10- Like to think so, wouldn't you?- Yes.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13Let's see if that's right, and if it is,
0:14:13 > 0:14:16let's see how many people said dwarf spider.
0:14:19 > 0:14:20It's right.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:14:30 > 0:14:31That's a pointless answer.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33It adds £250 to today's jackpot,
0:14:33 > 0:14:38taking the total up to £9,750, and it scores you 0,
0:14:38 > 0:14:41- giving you a total of 100. Richard? - Yeah, very well done, Paul,
0:14:41 > 0:14:46let's see if we can get the jackpot up to 10,000, that would be nice.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48- Wouldn't it be good?- Dwarf spider,
0:14:48 > 0:14:50- very well done.- OK, Steve.
0:14:50 > 0:14:51- Steve 2.- Yes.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54We're looking for types of spider.
0:14:54 > 0:14:59- I'm going to play it safe.- You are on 1. If you score 98 or less,
0:14:59 > 0:15:01you avoid becoming the high scorers
0:15:01 > 0:15:04and you are definitely through to the next round.
0:15:04 > 0:15:09- I'll play safe with black widow.- You hope that'll score you 98 or less.
0:15:09 > 0:15:13If you come below that red line, you're through to the next round.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Let's see how many people said black widow.
0:15:18 > 0:15:19It's good enough.
0:15:21 > 0:15:2348.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26- APPLAUSE - Takes your total to 49.
0:15:26 > 0:15:31- Black widow?- Yeah, well played, Steve, good tactics.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34The black widow, named after the generally-held belief
0:15:34 > 0:15:37that the female of the species eats the male after mating.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39- Is there any truth in that?- Yeah,
0:15:39 > 0:15:44there is some truth in it, but only in a few species of black widow.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47So, eats him and then maybe snacks on a bird?
0:15:47 > 0:15:49LAUGHTER
0:15:49 > 0:15:54OK, there is still a pointless answer, possibly, on that board.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57There's definitely a wrong answer. Now, Charlotte,
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Paul and Sophie scored 100, first time,
0:16:00 > 0:16:02and then scored a pointless.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06- You have to score a pointless answer, you can't play it safe.- No.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09We're looking for types of spider.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12I have no idea so I'm going to take a wild guess
0:16:12 > 0:16:15and I'm going to go with ditko.
0:16:15 > 0:16:21Ditko? It's either a spider or a very famous pest control agency!
0:16:23 > 0:16:25Let's see if ditko is right, and if it is,
0:16:25 > 0:16:30let's hope it goes all the way down to the bottom. Ditko...
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Did anyone say ditko?
0:16:37 > 0:16:40Well, out in a blaze of glory, Charlotte!
0:16:40 > 0:16:42LAUGHTER
0:16:42 > 0:16:46Ditko is incorrect, which means you score the maximum of 100 points.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48That takes your total up to
0:16:48 > 0:16:51an unbeatable 200.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53Unbeatable's the word.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56Sorry, Charlotte, you fell into our web there.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59Steve Ditko is the co-creator of Spider-Man.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01So, Valerie,
0:17:01 > 0:17:06whatever happens, you are through to the next round. Come what may,
0:17:06 > 0:17:09you will never overtake Charlotte and Diane's impressive score
0:17:09 > 0:17:11of 200!
0:17:11 > 0:17:16Bearing that in mind, why not see if you can't truffle out
0:17:16 > 0:17:20a pointless answer there and take us up to £10,000 in the jackpot.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23So we are looking for types of spider.
0:17:23 > 0:17:28I hate spiders, but I actually watched a film last week
0:17:28 > 0:17:33and it had both the funnel-web spider and the spitting spider.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35- Wow!- Which was pretty yucky.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38But I think the more obscure one will be the funnel-web spider.
0:17:38 > 0:17:42Let's see if that's right and how many people said funnel-web spider.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45No red line, you're through, come what may.
0:17:54 > 0:17:5613.
0:17:56 > 0:17:57APPLAUSE
0:17:57 > 0:18:01That scores you 13, taking your total up to an impressive low, 23.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04- Richard.- Yes, found quite often in Australia, the funnel-web spider.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08Its bite can cause severe pain, blindness
0:18:08 > 0:18:10and paralysis of the respiratory muscles.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13That would be a bad tourist board slogan, Australia.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17Let's take a look at the rest of these...
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Money spider, of course, fairly familiar.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23Would have scored you...
0:18:23 > 0:18:26The spitting spider would have been the better answer.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28It would have scored you one point.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31I know two bad things about the spitting spider -
0:18:31 > 0:18:34- one, it spits a mixture of... - Petrol...
0:18:34 > 0:18:36LAUGHTER
0:18:36 > 0:18:41- One...- Sorry.- ..it spits a mixture of venom and glue.- Oh, no!
0:18:41 > 0:18:43Which is quite bad.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45And two, although it's native to the tropics,
0:18:45 > 0:18:48it has very recently been found in the south of England.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51AUDIENCE GROANS
0:18:51 > 0:18:54The ogre-faced spider, do you think we made it up?
0:18:54 > 0:18:56It's a pointless, I'm sure it is.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00It is indeed a real spider. So very well done if you said ogre-faced.
0:19:00 > 0:19:05At the end of Round One the losing pair with highest score is Charlotte and Diane.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08- Oh!- AUDIENCE: Aww!
0:19:08 > 0:19:11It's such a shame to say goodbye to you so early on.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15What would have been the ideal round for you, or maybe the ideal selection of spider?
0:19:15 > 0:19:16Spanish spiders, maybe!
0:19:16 > 0:19:21I knew one spider! Like, one obscure spider and it wasn't on that list.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26- What was the spider you knew? - I think it's called a red-kneed Mexican spider.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29And it was in this book I got when I was about five.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32And I used to have to cover the page because I couldn't look at it.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35- Those red knees, oh! - LAUGHTER
0:19:35 > 0:19:39It was black and it had, like, red stripes on it. It was horrible.
0:19:39 > 0:19:40Sounds cool.
0:19:40 > 0:19:44Listen, you've learnt, I'm sure, a whole lot this time round.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47You can put it into practise next time you're on the show,
0:19:47 > 0:19:49when, hopefully, you'll do rather better.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Thanks very much for playing. Great contestants. Thank you.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54APPLAUSE
0:19:54 > 0:19:57But for the remaining three pairs, it time for Round Two.
0:20:02 > 0:20:07Now time to find out which two teams will be going through to the head-to-head for the chance
0:20:07 > 0:20:08to reach the Pointless final.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10OK, your category for Round Two is...
0:20:13 > 0:20:15World Geography.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18You decide in your pairs who will go first and second.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23Whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29The question is...
0:20:33 > 0:20:37In this round, we'll show you the names of some places.
0:20:37 > 0:20:41We gave 100 people 100 seconds to tell us the only country
0:20:41 > 0:20:45that they share a land border with.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47- Richard.- We'll show you six places.
0:20:47 > 0:20:51The more obscure ones, those will score you the fewest points.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55Be careful. If you give us an incorrect answer, you'll score 100 points.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57Thanks, Richard.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Your first six are...
0:21:08 > 0:21:12Let me read those one more time.
0:21:18 > 0:21:23So we are looking for the countries that border these places.
0:21:23 > 0:21:30Well, the ones I don't know, I really have no idea at all.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34So I'm going to have to go for one that is fairly safe.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Um...
0:21:36 > 0:21:42So I'm going to say Italy as a neighbour for Vatican City.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44OK, Italy - Vatican City.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47Let's hope not too many people said that.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Let's see if it's correct.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51If it is, let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56It's the right answer!
0:21:57 > 0:21:5956.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01APPLAUSE
0:22:04 > 0:22:06So, Italy, Richard.
0:22:06 > 0:22:10Yes, the Vatican City, the world's smallest independent state,
0:22:10 > 0:22:11entirely circled by Italy.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13Very good answer.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16OK. Now, Steve number one,
0:22:16 > 0:22:18how are these borders looking to you?
0:22:18 > 0:22:21- Two look fairly safe.- Mm-hm.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24The other three, I've got an idea.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26I'm going to go for Haiti.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29And I believe that shares a border with the Dominican Republic.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31Haiti, Dominican Republic.
0:22:31 > 0:22:35So we are looking for the countries that border these places.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38Let's see if that's correct. If it is, let's see
0:22:38 > 0:22:40how many people knew that answer.
0:22:43 > 0:22:44It's right.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51Still going down! 15!
0:22:51 > 0:22:54- APPLAUSE - Good answer, Steve.
0:22:54 > 0:22:55That scores you 15. Richard.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Well played, Steve.
0:22:57 > 0:23:02- Haiti and the Dominican Republic share the Caribbean island of Hispaniola.- Thanks very much.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Now, then, Sophie.
0:23:04 > 0:23:09Sophie, you're the last person to have this board. So feel free to talk us through it.
0:23:09 > 0:23:15Well, I think UK and Canada are going to be fairly high scoring.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17Qatar - haven't got a clue.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20But I think...
0:23:20 > 0:23:24Brunei is Papua New Guinea.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26And I'm fairly reckless, so I'm going to go with that.
0:23:26 > 0:23:30OK. You think Brunei is Papua New Guinea.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33Paul just pulled face I think only his dentist will have seen before.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36Oh, no! LAUGHTER
0:23:36 > 0:23:38- Only my mother could love, yeah. - Sorry, love.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42Right, you're going to say Brunei.
0:23:42 > 0:23:47The Sultanate of Brunei is bordered by Papua New Guinea.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50Let's see if that's right, and how many people knew that answer.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54Ooh!
0:23:54 > 0:23:59Unfortunately, Papua New Guinea is an incorrect answer
0:23:59 > 0:24:01which means you got the maximum of 100 points.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03- Richard.- Yeah, sorry, Sophie.
0:24:03 > 0:24:07Let's take a look where it does share a border with.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09Virtually an enclave of Malaysia.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12And would have scored you three points.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14It would have been an incredibly good answer.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17There's a couple of big answers there, the biggest is Canada
0:24:17 > 0:24:20which shares a border with the United States,
0:24:20 > 0:24:23nearly 9,000 kilometres of it. Would have scored 71 points.
0:24:23 > 0:24:27The UK shares a border with Ireland, what score do you think that would get you?
0:24:27 > 0:24:30Er, that would be... That would be a low score.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33That's right. It would have scored you 38 points.
0:24:33 > 0:24:3638 points would have been a good answer.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39- And Qatar shares a border with...? - Saudi Arabia.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42Exactly right. It would have scored you four points.
0:24:42 > 0:24:43Well done if you got that at home.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Let's take a look at the scores.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50Well, Paul and Sophie - way ahead there.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53Papua New Guinea scored you high.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56Paul, you know what you've got to do in the next pass.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58Steve, wow! What a great answer. Fantastic.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01Haiti, Dominican Republic - only scored you 15.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Lovely low score there. Steve Two, keep that up,
0:25:04 > 0:25:07you should be through to the head-to-head. Graham and Valerie, 56.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10You're almost exactly in the middle there. So, Valerie,
0:25:10 > 0:25:14answer sensibly, and you should make it through to the head-to-head.
0:25:14 > 0:25:15But anything could happen.
0:25:15 > 0:25:20We're going to come back down the line. Could the second players take their places at the podium.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26Here are your next six places.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38I'll read those again.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40Portugal, Denmark, Papua New Guinea,
0:25:40 > 0:25:43South Korea, Monaco, Lesotho.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47So we are looking for the countries that border these places.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51And you are trying to find the one that the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54All right, Paul. You are out ahead on 100 points.
0:25:54 > 0:25:59You've got to find a really nice... I can think of one rather poetic one you could pick there.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01And I'm going to pick it, yes.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03- You know the answer? - I think so, yes.
0:26:03 > 0:26:09Papua New Guinea shares the island of Irian Jaya, I believe, with Indonesia.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12That sounds like it's going to be right. Let's see if it is,
0:26:12 > 0:26:14and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17No red line for you, as you are the high scorers.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20It's right.
0:26:26 > 0:26:27Very, very good answer, Paul.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30APPLAUSE
0:26:30 > 0:26:31That scores you three,
0:26:31 > 0:26:36and it takes your score total up to 103. Richard.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38Yeah, very good answer, you might be back in the game.
0:26:38 > 0:26:42It's only about 150 kilometres from Australia, Papua New Guinea,
0:26:42 > 0:26:45- but yeah, shares a border with Indonesia.- Thanks, Richard.
0:26:45 > 0:26:46Steve number two.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49You are on 15.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52If you can score 87 or less with this answer, 87 or less,
0:26:52 > 0:26:54you are through to the head-to-head.
0:26:54 > 0:27:00Obviously the top easy one staring me in the face again, the safety option, Portugal and Spain.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04Portugal and Spain, you are saying. Here is your red line.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08If Portugal-Spain gets you below that red line, you are through to the head-to-head.
0:27:08 > 0:27:12OK, let's see if that's right, and if it is, let's see how many people said Portugal-Spain.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17It's right, and it's good enough.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21Very, very well done.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24That scores you 66, takes your total up to 81.
0:27:24 > 0:27:28You are the first pair definitely in the head-to-head. Richard.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31Again, another fairly low score, I'd have thought. Portugal and Spain,
0:27:31 > 0:27:35- you'd think would be a fairly well-known one.- You'd have thought.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38- Apparently not.- Apparently not.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42OK, we are looking for the countries that border these places.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45OK, now, Valerie. It's all in your hands.
0:27:45 > 0:27:49You are on 56, so if you can score 46 or less with this answer,
0:27:49 > 0:27:52you are through to the head-to-head.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54Oh, dear.
0:27:54 > 0:27:58I'm going to have to go for Denmark, I think,
0:27:58 > 0:28:01and hope that it's bordering Holland.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05You're going to say Denmark, and hope that it's bordering Holland.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08- And that's a punt, is it?- Yeah. - There's your red line.
0:28:08 > 0:28:14If Denmark borders Holland, and it gets below that red line,
0:28:14 > 0:28:16it will see you through to the head-to-head.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19Let's see if it's right, Denmark-Holland.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26So there's a lifeline for Paul and Sophie. Bad luck, Valerie,
0:28:26 > 0:28:28I'm afraid that is an incorrect answer,
0:28:28 > 0:28:32and it scores you 100 points, taking your total up to 156.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35- Richard.- Sorry, Valerie, it doesn't share a border with Holland.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38It shares a border with Germany.
0:28:38 > 0:28:42But it would have scored you 20 points, and seen you safely through.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45Let's take a look at the other ones.
0:28:45 > 0:28:47- South Korea borders...- North Korea.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50North Korea, the most heavily-fortified border in the world.
0:28:50 > 0:28:52Again, it would only score 52.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55- Monaco borders...- France.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57France, would have scored you 42 points.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59- And Lesotho?- South Africa.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02It does border South Africa, yeah. Would have scored 5,
0:29:02 > 0:29:04so well done if you got that at home.
0:29:04 > 0:29:08Thanks, Richard. At the end of round two the pair with the highest score
0:29:08 > 0:29:10is Graham and Valerie.
0:29:10 > 0:29:11THEY SIGH
0:29:11 > 0:29:14- Sausages.- That was amazing, the pair of you.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16That synchronised sigh!
0:29:16 > 0:29:19- Did you see that?- Yeah. It was good, it was very impressive.
0:29:19 > 0:29:22- It's a fitting way to mark the 100th show.- It really is. OK.
0:29:22 > 0:29:26Graham and Valerie, it's been fabulous having you on the show.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29Sadly, your knowledge of geographical borders
0:29:29 > 0:29:30was shocking.
0:29:30 > 0:29:32LAUGHTER
0:29:32 > 0:29:35I suspect, though, there is a hinterland
0:29:35 > 0:29:40of Graham and Valerie-type general knowledge that we haven't even broached,
0:29:40 > 0:29:43and when we see you next time, you are going to dazzle us and go all the way.
0:29:43 > 0:29:47But thanks for now for being excellent contestants, thank you.
0:29:47 > 0:29:49APPLAUSE
0:29:49 > 0:29:52For the remaining pairs, things are about to get even more exciting now,
0:29:52 > 0:29:54as we enter the head-to-head.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56APPLAUSE
0:29:57 > 0:30:00OK, we've already said goodbye to two teams,
0:30:00 > 0:30:04it's now time to find out which of our remaining pairs will play for today's jackpot,
0:30:04 > 0:30:09which currently stands at an unbelievably high £9,750.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11APPLAUSE AND GASPING
0:30:11 > 0:30:15You're so close. You're now going to be head-to-head on the best of three questions.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18You're now allowed to confer, that's the good news.
0:30:18 > 0:30:23All you have to do is come up with an answer that scores less than the opposing pair to win that point.
0:30:23 > 0:30:28The first pair to win two points will be through to the final to play for today's jackpot.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30All right, let's play Pointless.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33APPLAUSE
0:30:33 > 0:30:35And here's your first question.
0:30:35 > 0:30:43We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many members of Family Guy's Griffin family as they could.
0:30:43 > 0:30:48- Richard.- Yeah, we're looking for any of the main six members of the Griffin family in Family Guy.
0:30:48 > 0:30:53OK. Steve one and Steve two, because you've played best so far you get to go first.
0:30:53 > 0:30:58We are looking for members of Family Guy's Griffin family.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01- THEY LAUGH - It's not the best question for us.
0:31:01 > 0:31:05OK. So you're just going to be plucking a name out of thin air.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11Yeah. Got nothing else, have we?
0:31:11 > 0:31:14Somewhere up there, we're going to say Stan.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16Stan Griffin.
0:31:16 > 0:31:20Paul and Sophie, you can talk out loud if you like.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22I quite like Family Guy, so I know all six.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25It's just a question of picking the least one, I suppose.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27Well, Stan has gone.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30Has it? Oh, right! Second least one, then.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33I'll go with... What do you want?
0:31:33 > 0:31:36Brian the dog, perhaps.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38Brian the dog.
0:31:38 > 0:31:42OK. Steves, Stan Griffin. Let's see how many people said that.
0:31:46 > 0:31:50- I think you might have known that was coming.- Yes.
0:31:50 > 0:31:54Particularly when you heard someone so confidently say, "Brian the dog."
0:31:54 > 0:31:57Let's see how many points Brian the dog scores.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02It's right! That's all it needed to be.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10APPLAUSE
0:32:10 > 0:32:12Very good, that scores only ten points.
0:32:12 > 0:32:16After the first question, it is 1-0 to Paul and Sophie. Richard.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18Yeah, well played, Paul and Sophie.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21Brian of course the screenplay and novel-writing dog.
0:32:21 > 0:32:25There was one answer that would have beaten Brian. It wasn't Stan,
0:32:25 > 0:32:29it was the eldest son, Chris, with eight points.
0:32:29 > 0:32:30Brian with ten,
0:32:30 > 0:32:36Stewie, 13, Meg, 14, Lois, 16, and Peter, 18.
0:32:36 > 0:32:41OK. Steve and Steve, you have to win to win this point to stay in the game.
0:32:41 > 0:32:43Nearly £10,000 sitting in that jackpot.
0:32:43 > 0:32:46Here's your second question. We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:32:46 > 0:32:52to name as many Changing The Guard regiments as they could.
0:32:52 > 0:32:54Changing The Guard regiments, Richard.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57We're looking for any of the five regiments of foot guards
0:32:57 > 0:33:02who regularly take part in the Changing Of The Guard ceremony at Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle.
0:33:02 > 0:33:06OK, thanks very much. This time, Paul and Sophie, you get to go first.
0:33:06 > 0:33:10THEY MUTTER
0:33:10 > 0:33:13- We've decided Grenadier.- Grenadier.
0:33:13 > 0:33:17OK. Steves, Grenadier Guards have gone. You can talk out loud now.
0:33:17 > 0:33:21I think the Blues And Royals do it, I think.
0:33:25 > 0:33:29- Do you have a military background, Steve?- No(!)
0:33:29 > 0:33:32LAUGHTER
0:33:32 > 0:33:36- I'm going to go for the Blues And Royals.- Blues And Royals, you're going to say.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39This is to stay in the game.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41What regiment were you in, Steve?
0:33:41 > 0:33:45- Engineers. We didn't do it.- No.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47We have the Grenadier Guards and Blues And Royals.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50Paul and Sophie went with the Grenadier Guards,
0:33:50 > 0:33:54let's see if that's right, and if it is, let's see how many people said the Grenadier Guards.
0:33:57 > 0:33:58It's right.
0:34:01 > 0:34:02It's a low scorer.
0:34:02 > 0:34:0415!
0:34:04 > 0:34:07APPLAUSE
0:34:08 > 0:34:1215 for Paul and Sophie. Steve and Steve have gone for the Blues And Royals,
0:34:12 > 0:34:17let's see if that's right, and if it is, let's see how many people said the Blues And Royals.
0:34:21 > 0:34:25Bad luck, Steve and Steve, I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer.
0:34:25 > 0:34:32So, after two questions, Paul and Sophie are through to that jackpot final 2-0.
0:34:32 > 0:34:36- Richard.- Yeah, unlucky, Steve. The Blues And Royals are part of the Household Cavalry,
0:34:36 > 0:34:38they don't take part in Changing The Guard.
0:34:38 > 0:34:43If it makes you feel better, Grenadier Guards was the best answer on the board,
0:34:43 > 0:34:46so you couldn't have won. Let's look at all five of them.
0:34:46 > 0:34:50Right at the bottom there, Grenadier Guards, a great answer. 15 points.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52The Irish Guards, 16, Scots Guards, 19,
0:34:52 > 0:34:56Coldstream Guards, 21, and the Welsh Guards right at the top with 22.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59So the losing pair at the end of the head-to-head,
0:34:59 > 0:35:01I'm afraid it's Steve and Steve.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03Twice we send you home,
0:35:03 > 0:35:06having got you in sniffing distance of the jackpot.
0:35:06 > 0:35:09Oh, Steve. And you being a military man and all.
0:35:09 > 0:35:10Thank you(!)
0:35:10 > 0:35:11LAUGHTER
0:35:11 > 0:35:15How happy is that street down in Southampton going to be after this?
0:35:15 > 0:35:18The worst thing that could've happened was if one of us
0:35:18 > 0:35:22- really let the team down, which hasn't happened. - I don't think it has at all.
0:35:22 > 0:35:26You've been fantastic contestants, you played so well.
0:35:26 > 0:35:30- I'm sorry you haven't got further, but thanks so much for playing. - APPLAUSE
0:35:31 > 0:35:34For Paul and Sophie, it's our Pointless final
0:35:34 > 0:35:37and the chance to win that £9,750 jackpot.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40APPLAUSE
0:35:42 > 0:35:44Congratulations, Paul and Sophie,
0:35:44 > 0:35:48you've seen off the competition and won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:35:55 > 0:35:58You are the 100th pair to win. How does that feel?
0:35:58 > 0:36:00- Amazing.- Absolutely fantastic.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03You now have the chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:36:03 > 0:36:07At the end of today's show, just to remind you, the jackpot stands at:
0:36:09 > 0:36:11CHEERING
0:36:13 > 0:36:16To win that money, all you have to do is find a pointless answer,
0:36:16 > 0:36:19an answer none of our 100 people could think of.
0:36:19 > 0:36:23We've only had one pointless answer today, which you gave us, Paul.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26You need to find another one to go home with that money.
0:36:26 > 0:36:30First, you've got to choose a category. Any one of these three:
0:36:36 > 0:36:39You're good at all those three. I'm good at...
0:36:39 > 0:36:42- I haven't been so good today. - You've been to university at least.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45International Diplomacy, I'm not massively hot on.
0:36:45 > 0:36:48- Universities? - You're tempted by that, aren't you?
0:36:48 > 0:36:50- Yeah.- OK. We'll go for Universities.
0:36:50 > 0:36:53Let's find out what the question is.
0:36:53 > 0:36:57We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:36:58 > 0:37:01colleges of Oxford University as they could.
0:37:01 > 0:37:04- Richard.- Yeah, we're looking for any of the colleges or halls
0:37:04 > 0:37:06that make up Oxford University.
0:37:06 > 0:37:10We're not looking for any of the six permanent, private halls.
0:37:10 > 0:37:14OK. You now have up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16All you need to win that £9,750
0:37:16 > 0:37:19is for one of those answers to be pointless.
0:37:19 > 0:37:20Your 60 seconds start now.
0:37:21 > 0:37:23Christ Church, King's College.
0:37:23 > 0:37:25Gaius and Conville.
0:37:25 > 0:37:27What was that one, guys and what?
0:37:27 > 0:37:31Gaius and Conville. Then there's the women's colleges.
0:37:31 > 0:37:32Which are called?
0:37:32 > 0:37:35- My brain's gone. - I don't know any of them.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38I'm a grammar school boy.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42- So Gaius was a good one.- Gaius...
0:37:42 > 0:37:45I'm not sure how to pronounce. You know those weird, like...
0:37:45 > 0:37:47- Just pronounce it "guys" and... - Con...
0:37:48 > 0:37:49I can't think of...
0:37:49 > 0:37:52Or even how it's spelt now.
0:37:52 > 0:37:55So we'll skip that one. There's, erm...
0:37:57 > 0:37:59- There's Magdalen.- Magdalen is good.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02Peterhouse is in Cambridge.
0:38:02 > 0:38:04Sidney Sussex?
0:38:04 > 0:38:06Sidney Sussex? That sounds a good one.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08Definitely Oxford, yeah?
0:38:08 > 0:38:11- It's all coming a bit Oxford and Cambridge now.- Ten seconds.
0:38:11 > 0:38:15Sidney Oxford. Gaius Conville.
0:38:15 > 0:38:16- Sidney Sussex.- Sidney Sussex.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18Is it Oxford?
0:38:18 > 0:38:21OK, that's your minute up.
0:38:21 > 0:38:24So, what three answers are you going to give?
0:38:24 > 0:38:25OK...
0:38:25 > 0:38:27Sidney Sussex.
0:38:27 > 0:38:28Sidney Sussex.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32- Gaius Conville.- Gaius and Conville.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35Gaius and Conville, mm-hm.
0:38:35 > 0:38:36- And Magdalen?- Yeah.
0:38:36 > 0:38:39- And Magdalen.- And Magdalen.- Yes.
0:38:39 > 0:38:43OK. Which of those do you think is your most confident?
0:38:43 > 0:38:46I think Magdalen is fairly well known.
0:38:46 > 0:38:49- I think Sidney Sussex is Oxford.- OK.
0:38:49 > 0:38:51So Sidney Sussex...
0:38:51 > 0:38:53Sidney Sussex we'll put last?
0:38:53 > 0:38:56- Yeah, why not?- As in the one we're most confident in.
0:38:56 > 0:38:57OK.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00And shall we put Gaius and Conville...?
0:39:00 > 0:39:03OK, well, we will put them up on the board
0:39:03 > 0:39:05in that order.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15We wanted colleges of Oxford University.
0:39:15 > 0:39:20You have three shots at a pointless answer. One has to be pointless.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22This was your least-confident answer.
0:39:22 > 0:39:27You only need one of these to be pointless to win that £9,750.
0:39:27 > 0:39:30You have said Gaius and Conville.
0:39:30 > 0:39:34Let's see how many people said that, if it is a correct answer.
0:39:40 > 0:39:45Sadly, that is an incorrect answer.
0:39:46 > 0:39:50You only have two more chances to win today's jackpot.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53How confident are you with this next answer?
0:39:53 > 0:39:55As confident as the first one.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57Do you know Oxford and Cambridge well?
0:39:57 > 0:39:59- No.- Never been.
0:39:59 > 0:40:02- Been to either? - I visited Cambridge years ago.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05I've been to a football match at Oxford.
0:40:05 > 0:40:09- We'll just have to see.- We're looking for colleges of Oxford University.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11Let's hope your next answer is correct,
0:40:11 > 0:40:14and if it is, let's hope nobody said Magdalen College.
0:40:17 > 0:40:19Is that correct? And if so, is it pointless?
0:40:23 > 0:40:25Well, it's right.
0:40:26 > 0:40:31This has to go all the way down to zero to win that £9,750.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33It's in the twenties.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35It's in the teens, down it goes...
0:40:35 > 0:40:37- Oh! - GROANING AND APPLAUSE
0:40:37 > 0:40:40Bad luck.
0:40:42 > 0:40:45Seven people said Magdalen College,
0:40:45 > 0:40:48so I'm afraid that is not a pointless answer.
0:40:48 > 0:40:50You have one final shot at this.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53Sidney Sussex, sounds good, doesn't it?
0:40:53 > 0:40:55Paul, you immediately liked the sound of it.
0:40:55 > 0:41:00It just sounded obscure, like it shouldn't be anywhere near Oxford,
0:41:00 > 0:41:03so if it is one, perhaps a lot of people wouldn't know it.
0:41:03 > 0:41:08OK, Sidney Sussex is your last shot at today's jackpot.
0:41:08 > 0:41:12Colleges of Oxford University. This was the answer you were most confident with.
0:41:12 > 0:41:16This has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot of £9,750.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20Is it correct? And if it is, is it pointless?
0:41:20 > 0:41:24Will it win you £9,750?
0:41:26 > 0:41:28Ohhh!
0:41:28 > 0:41:31APPLAUSE
0:41:37 > 0:41:41Unfortunately, you didn't find that all-important pointless answer.
0:41:41 > 0:41:45So you don't win today's jackpot of £9,750.
0:41:45 > 0:41:47That rolls over to the next show.
0:41:47 > 0:41:50But you do get to take home our Pointless trophy.
0:41:50 > 0:41:51Excellent.
0:41:51 > 0:41:52APPLAUSE
0:41:58 > 0:42:02So Richard, but more 'Bridge than Ox there.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05Yeah, Sidney Sussex, as you say, they can be interchangeable,
0:42:05 > 0:42:07it is in Cambridge, unfortunately.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10And Gaius and Conville - there is Gonville and Caius,
0:42:10 > 0:42:12that's in Cambridge as well.
0:42:12 > 0:42:16But as I say, lots of them have the same names
0:42:16 > 0:42:18so it was a tough category,
0:42:18 > 0:42:21and a shame not to get a jackpot on the 100th show.
0:42:21 > 0:42:23These would all have won you the jackpot.
0:42:23 > 0:42:25Linacre College, one of the newer ones.
0:42:25 > 0:42:28Pembroke. Somerville would've won you the money,
0:42:28 > 0:42:31that's where Margaret Thatcher went. St Edmund Hall.
0:42:31 > 0:42:34St Catherine's College is the newest of all.
0:42:34 > 0:42:37St Hilda's College, set up for women's education.
0:42:40 > 0:42:43Well done if you got any at home. Sorry you didn't get them here.
0:42:43 > 0:42:46A tough category, but you've been wonderful contestants.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49- Thanks for being on the 100th show. - Thank you very much.
0:42:49 > 0:42:51Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye
0:42:51 > 0:42:55but you have been fantastic contestants. Thank you so much for playing.
0:42:55 > 0:42:59APPLAUSE
0:43:00 > 0:43:02Nobody's won our jackpot today,
0:43:02 > 0:43:06so it rolls over, which means on the next show, we'll be playing for:
0:43:08 > 0:43:11WHOOPING AND APPLAUSE
0:43:11 > 0:43:14- Join us then. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:14 > 0:43:16And it's goodbye from me.
0:43:16 > 0:43:18APPLAUSE
