0:00:18 > 0:00:20APPLAUSE
0:00:25 > 0:00:29Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:29 > 0:00:33the quiz show where you've got to score low to win big.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Let's meet today's players.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38APPLAUSE
0:00:38 > 0:00:42And first we welcome Phil and Sue. You are our first pair on the show.
0:00:42 > 0:00:48I overheard you talking to Richard before the show about something like, "My ninth oyster..."
0:00:48 > 0:00:50- Ah, yes. - What were you talking about?
0:00:50 > 0:00:55Whitstable has had an oyster festival this summer
0:00:55 > 0:01:00and I just missed out on winning the oyster-eating competition.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04- I can eat oysters very quickly. - How many oysters?- Normally...
0:01:04 > 0:01:07What you're judged on normally is six oysters, half a pint of beer.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09- I can do that in ten seconds.- What?!
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Ten seconds!
0:01:11 > 0:01:12Phil. What can you do?
0:01:12 > 0:01:14You've got three seconds!
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Nothing as impressive as that.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18OK. Brilliant. Very best of luck to you on the show.
0:01:18 > 0:01:22Phil, we're going to have to find out what you can do in ten seconds.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24I'm sure it is equally impressive.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Graham and Valerie. Welcome back to you.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28You were on the show last time.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Everyone gets two shots to get through to the Pointless final.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35This is your second and final go at it. Remind us how you did.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39We got to the second round, but it's geography and I don't know
0:01:39 > 0:01:42where myself is most of the time, let alone other countries.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Oh, dear.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Dear, oh, dear, oh, dear.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Yes, it was land borders, wasn't it?
0:01:49 > 0:01:54- Yes.- Oh, dear. Well, very best of luck this afternoon. I don't think we saw you at your very best.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57I think we're going to see you do fantastically well.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59- Let's hope so.- That's my hunch.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01And welcome back to Charlotte and Diane.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04You were also on the show last time. Remind us how you did.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Very badly. I would say catastrophically.
0:02:07 > 0:02:14I mean, I think it's in fact made my fear of spiders just that little bit worse now.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Right. OK, basically they got locked in a tank with some spiders.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20We do this every so often. We thought it would be fun.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22Sounds like it just backfired, didn't it?
0:02:22 > 0:02:25It backfired for them. For us it was fine. A right laugh.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Perhaps. It was actually better than fine.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29It was most amusing.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33But, um...yeah. Very best of luck to you this afternoon.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35And finally we've got Ross and Ben.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37How do you two know each other?
0:02:37 > 0:02:41Well, I've lived in Edinburgh for 20 years and I met Ross
0:02:41 > 0:02:4815 years ago through a mutual friend who couldn't believe there were two Eurovision fans in the same city.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51You were both in the same city and you're both Eurovision fans?
0:02:51 > 0:02:54I can't believe that either!
0:02:54 > 0:02:58Best of luck to the pair of you. We'll find out more about you throughout the show.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02There is just one more person to introduce. You've already met him.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05It's probably given it away a bit, hasn't it?!
0:03:05 > 0:03:10- He is a Who's Who of obscurity. He's my Pointless friend. He's Richard.- Hiya.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12APPLAUSE
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Good afternoon.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19- Good afternoon to you.- See, I don't think I am a Who's Who of obscurity.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21I think I am more of a Who Cares? of obscurity.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23That would be my opinion.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25We've got two returning pairs today.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29Charlotte and Diane didn't cover themselves in glory last time, but
0:03:29 > 0:03:33they had a difficult category and took risks, so I think they might go a little bit further today.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37And Graham and Valerie were very strong, so I think it's going to be tough for our two new pairs.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39The good news for Phil and Sue is we've replaced the head-to-head
0:03:39 > 0:03:42with a cockle and whelk-eating contest.
0:03:42 > 0:03:43Very good indeed.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47OK, now we put all our questions to 100 people before the show.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50We are after the obscure answers that they didn't get.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53To stay in the game with a chance to win our jackpot, all our players
0:03:53 > 0:03:57need to do is score as few points as they possibly can. It's very simple.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01What everyone's trying to do is find a pointless answer that none of our 100 people gave
0:04:01 > 0:04:06and, each time that happens, if it happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10Nobody has won the jackpot for ages, for the last eight shows.
0:04:10 > 0:04:15And we'll add another £1,000 to that, so today's jackpot starts off,
0:04:15 > 0:04:18would you believe it, at £10,750.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Someone has got to win that.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24OK, let's play Pointless.
0:04:29 > 0:04:35OK, in the first round each of you must give me one answer and you cannot confer with your partner.
0:04:35 > 0:04:40Whichever team has the highest score at the end of the round will be eliminated.
0:04:40 > 0:04:45So, our first category this afternoon is Pop & Rock.
0:04:45 > 0:04:52Pop & Rock. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first and who's going to go second?
0:04:52 > 0:04:54And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:04:58 > 0:05:03We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many family bands as they could.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Family bands, Richard?
0:05:05 > 0:05:11Yeah, the correct answers in this round are all musical groups or bands where the members are siblings.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13OK. Right, Phil and Sue.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17You all drew lots before the show and today you get to go first.
0:05:17 > 0:05:22So in this round we're going to give you a choice of seven possible answers on the board in each pass.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Your first set of seven answers reads like this.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37I am going to read those out one more time.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45At least one of those answers is pointless,
0:05:45 > 0:05:48but also that at least one of those answers is incorrect.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52If you land on an incorrect one, you will score the maximum of 100 points.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56Now, Phil, I think you might be quite good at this.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59- Am I right?- Well, there are a couple that I'm not sure about.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02But I'm going to play reasonably safe and hope that it is
0:06:02 > 0:06:05one that not too many people remembered or thought about.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07I'm going to go for the Carpenters.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10The Carpenters. OK. There they are. The third one down.
0:06:10 > 0:06:15You're hoping that that is correct and you're hoping that it scores as few points as possible.
0:06:15 > 0:06:19Let's see if it's right. Let's see how many people said The Carpenters.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Well, it is right.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Not bad. 25, Phil.
0:06:29 > 0:06:30- Done all right, hasn't he, Sue? - He has.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33The Carpenters score you 25.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37- Richard?- Nice safe start, Phil. Richard on piano and Karen on drums.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40The White Stripes of their day, The Carpenters.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44Well done. Not a bad score at all. Now, Valerie, I think you're going to be good at this.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46- Reasonably.- I think you might be quite good at this.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48What's that board looking like to you?
0:06:48 > 0:06:52Remember there's at least one pointless answer on that board.
0:06:52 > 0:06:58Yes, well I am going to go for something that is slightly before my time, but not a lot.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00The Beverley Sisters.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03The Beverley Sisters. There they are at the bottom.
0:07:03 > 0:07:04The Beverley Sisters.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08Let's see if it's right and, if it is, how many people said the Beverley Sisters.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12It is correct.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19Oh, a good score. Look at that! Six for you, Valerie.
0:07:19 > 0:07:20Well done.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Six that scores you.
0:07:24 > 0:07:29Yeah, very well played, Valerie. The Beverley Sisters - Joy, Babs and Teddie.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31And one of them married Billy Wright the footballer.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34They were very much the Posh and Becks of their day.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37The Beverley Sisters. What a great answer.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41Charlotte, you are going to be hot at this, I know.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Well, I am going to play it safe
0:07:43 > 0:07:46and pick the people who I love.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48So I am going to pick Jedward.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54We've had The Carpenters. We've had The Beverley Sisters. You are saying Jedward.
0:07:54 > 0:07:59Let's see if that is a correct answer and, if it is, let's see how many people said it. Jedward?
0:08:08 > 0:08:09It's a brilliant answer, Charlotte.
0:08:09 > 0:08:15Brilliantly said. Eight points for Jedward.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18Jedward, of course, made up of John and Edward, the names of the twins.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21Charlotte and Diane, don't do that because you'll be Dialotte.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28- OK, very good. Ben. Now then, Ben. - Well, I am going to take a risk.
0:08:28 > 0:08:29This is what I like to hear.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33There's a pointless on that board. There's a pointless in there.
0:08:33 > 0:08:39And I am actually going to go for one that I am not sure are related, so that is
0:08:39 > 0:08:46- a risk.- Well, remember there is an incorrect one in there as well, and that will score you 100 points.
0:08:46 > 0:08:47I'm going to say Orbital.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50Orbital. One up from the bottom.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54Let's see if it's correct and, if it is, let's see how many people said Orbital.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58There we are.
0:08:58 > 0:08:59Brilliant answer.
0:09:07 > 0:09:15That's a pointless answer and adds £250 to today's jackpot, taking the total up to £11,000.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18- It also scores you nothing. Richard? Orbital?- Yes, very good.
0:09:18 > 0:09:24Orbital, the '90s dance band. Phil and Paul Hartnoll were the brothers
0:09:24 > 0:09:27and people don't remember them so they won't get that Ross and Ben look not unlike them.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31They have a look of Orbital about them.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Let's have a look at the rest of the board.
0:09:33 > 0:09:40The Osmonds, of course, would have scored you a fairly hefty 45.
0:09:40 > 0:09:46The Everly Brothers, actually a surprisingly low score at just three.
0:09:46 > 0:09:52And the Partridge Family, by process of elimination, was an incorrect answer as they were a fictional
0:09:52 > 0:09:56- family band from a US sitcom. - OK, thanks very much, Richard.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59We're halfway through the round so let's take a look at the scores as they stand.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01A very low-scoring round.
0:10:01 > 0:10:06Phil and Sue, you see, normally, 25 would have been a brilliant start.
0:10:06 > 0:10:07Turns out it is a rotten start.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12You know when I said "well done"? I was lying.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Sue, you know what you've got to do in the next round.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18Valerie and Graham, six...
0:10:18 > 0:10:20wonderful. Charlotte and Diane, eight, wonderful low score.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Ben and Ross!
0:10:22 > 0:10:25I am going to be buying Orbital's records now, I think.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Maybe pass yourselves off as Orbital.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Think how many festivals you could get into free!
0:10:29 > 0:10:33Could the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:10:34 > 0:10:37OK, we're going to put another seven answers on the board.
0:10:37 > 0:10:42We are looking for family bands and here is your next list.
0:10:49 > 0:10:50Let me read those one more time.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59Again, I can tell you that at least one of those answers
0:10:59 > 0:11:02is pointless, and at least one of those answers is incorrect.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05So please try and avoid those incorrect ones. Right.
0:11:05 > 0:11:06Now, Ross, how well did Ben do there?
0:11:06 > 0:11:09- He did very well. - He did amazingly well.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13There is only one fitting response to that from you, and that is to do equally well.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16- No pressure then. I can do it. - None whatsoever. You are on 0.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19You have to score 24 or less with this answer.
0:11:19 > 0:11:2324 or less and you are definitely through to the next round.
0:11:23 > 0:11:29I'm going with the X Factor's Journey South.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32The X Factor's Journey South. He's revealed something there.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35Who'd have thought that a Eurovision fan would also be a fan of X Factor?
0:11:35 > 0:11:38(I'm not!)
0:11:38 > 0:11:39OK, there's your red line.
0:11:39 > 0:11:45If Journey South gets you below that red line, you're definitely in the next round.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47Let's see if it's right and, if it is, how many people said it.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50Journey South.
0:11:50 > 0:11:55It's right. Could go all the way down, I think.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59Yes, you're through to the next round and it is pointless!
0:12:01 > 0:12:07That adds another £250 to today's jackpot, taking it to a frankly obscene £11,250.
0:12:07 > 0:12:12It scores you nothing and brings, or rather leaves, your total at zero.
0:12:12 > 0:12:17Very well played. What a start! The perfect start. Andy and Carl Pemberton were Journey South.
0:12:17 > 0:12:22- Came third behind Shayne Ward and Andy Abraham.- Right, now, Diane.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26You are on eight, thanks to Charlotte's brilliant answer of Jedward.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28No pressure!
0:12:28 > 0:12:31None whatsoever. If you can score 16 or less with this answer...
0:12:31 > 0:12:38It's a very low-scoring round, this. If you can score 16 or less, you're through to the next round for sure.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40How's that board looking?
0:12:40 > 0:12:42Some of them I am sure of and some of them I'm not.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46Taking a risk last time didn't work for me.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48So I'm...
0:12:48 > 0:12:51just going to stick with who I thought and go...
0:12:53 > 0:12:54..The Nolans.
0:12:54 > 0:12:58The Nolans? There they are, second band down. There's the red line.
0:12:58 > 0:13:03Get below the red line and you're through to the next round for sure.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06Let's see if that's correct and, if it is, let's see how many people said The Nolans.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09It's right.
0:13:14 > 0:13:1832 that scored you. It takes your total to 40. Richard.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Yeah, as you said, better safe than sorry.
0:13:20 > 0:13:26You took lots of risks last time. But The Nolans, they're back together again. Spent the last 20 years
0:13:26 > 0:13:28being on Loose Women, marrying Shane Ritchie, that sort of thing.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31OK, thank you very much.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33My pleasure.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38Graham. Valerie's excellent answer of the Beverley Sisters scored you only six.
0:13:38 > 0:13:46If you can score 33 or less... 33 or less with this answer, you are through to the next round.
0:13:46 > 0:13:47Er, yes.
0:13:47 > 0:13:51The only ones I am absolutely sure are genuine
0:13:51 > 0:13:55are almost certainly quite popular.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58But I think, on balance, I am going to have to go for one of them.
0:13:58 > 0:14:03I know you prefer people to take a risk, but I am going to say The Bee Gees.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06The Bee Gees. There they are, middle of the board.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08The Bee Gees. There's your red line.
0:14:08 > 0:14:14If The Bee Gees get below that red line, you are in the next round.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18Let's see how many people said The Bee Gees.
0:14:23 > 0:14:24Wow.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31The Bee Gees score you 16, taking your total up to 22.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33Richard, Bee Gees only 16?
0:14:33 > 0:14:37Yeah, I wonder if, because the family name is not the name of the group, people forget they are brothers.
0:14:37 > 0:14:42I don't know, but it is a very low score. Barry, Maurice and Robin Gibb, of course.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45OK. Now, Sue, you are on 25.
0:14:45 > 0:14:50You have to score 14 or less to get through to the next round.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53So remember, we are looking for family bands.
0:14:53 > 0:14:58OK, I think there are two wrong answers up there.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Do you, now?
0:15:00 > 0:15:03And one massively popular answer.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07Which only leaves, as long as I am right about the two wrong answers...
0:15:07 > 0:15:11I can really only go for Sister Sledge.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14You're going to go for Sister Sledge?
0:15:14 > 0:15:18- With their song We Are Family. - It's a clue!
0:15:18 > 0:15:22"I've got all my sisters with me." Could they make it up? I don't think they could.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25- I think they probably did. - LAUGHTER
0:15:25 > 0:15:27That's how composition works!
0:15:27 > 0:15:28OK, there's the red line.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32If you get below that red line, you are through to the next round.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36Sister Sledge. Let's see how many people said it, and if it is a correct answer.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41It's right.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47Oh, wow!
0:15:50 > 0:15:51Phew!
0:15:51 > 0:15:54That scores you only four.
0:15:54 > 0:15:55It keeps you in the show as it takes
0:15:55 > 0:15:58your total up to 29. Richard.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02Kim, Debbie, Joni and Kathy Sledge had a huge hit with We Are Family.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06Their career went downhill after that!
0:16:06 > 0:16:10We should stop this. This is the top of a very slippery slope!
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Let's take a look at the rest of the board, shall we?
0:16:15 > 0:16:18Obviously The Jacksons were a family band but would have scored you
0:16:18 > 0:16:22a fairly hefty 57. And, as I think Phil and Sue suspected,
0:16:22 > 0:16:26those other two are both incorrect answers.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29The Thompson Twins, there were three of them and none were related.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31And The Righteous Brothers is incorrect,
0:16:31 > 0:16:34given away by the fact that Righteous isn't really a surname!
0:16:34 > 0:16:36OK, thanks very much, Richard.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40At the end of Round One, the losing pair with the highest score,
0:16:40 > 0:16:42I'm sorry to say, is Charlotte and Diane.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45- Bad luck once again.- Thank you! - Who's going to be watching?
0:16:45 > 0:16:47Probably everyone.
0:16:47 > 0:16:52Where do you apportion the blame, apart from obviously here!
0:16:52 > 0:16:54- It was my fault last time. - I don't know.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57- No-one, really.- There again!
0:16:57 > 0:17:01- There you go, you can take the blame again if you want.- I'm sorry.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03It was a tough category but you did incredibly well.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06Thanks for playing, you've been fantastic contestants.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09Sorry to say goodbye to you so soon. Thank you.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12APPLAUSE
0:17:12 > 0:17:15For the remaining three pairs, it is now time for Round Two.
0:17:21 > 0:17:26OK, it is now time to find out which two teams will be going through to the head-to-head
0:17:26 > 0:17:29for the chance to reach the Pointless final and play for that massive jackpot.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32OK, the category for Round Two is...
0:17:32 > 0:17:34Sporting Stars.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36Sporting Stars. Sue is delighted with that!
0:17:36 > 0:17:40Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first and who's going to go second?
0:17:40 > 0:17:43And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51And the question for Round Two concerns...
0:17:51 > 0:17:54sports personalities and their nicknames.
0:17:54 > 0:18:00In this round, we're about to show you the nicknames and sports of some famous sports personalities.
0:18:00 > 0:18:06We gave 100 people 100 seconds to tell us who the nicknames belonged to. Richard.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09Yes, we're going to show you six nicknames in each pass.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11The more obscure ones will score you fewer points
0:18:11 > 0:18:14and if you give us an incorrect answer you will score 100 points.
0:18:14 > 0:18:19- See if you can get all six of them at home.- OK, your first six are...
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Let me do it one more time.
0:18:40 > 0:18:46Now, then, Sue, we are looking for the sportsmen these nicknames are used for.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50This so isn't my subject.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54Oh...! I'm going to say...
0:18:54 > 0:18:55Beefy
0:18:55 > 0:18:57- is Ian Botham.- Ian Botham.
0:18:57 > 0:19:03Let's see if that is correct and, if it is, how many people knew that Ian Botham was indeed Beefy.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09It's right.
0:19:12 > 0:19:1353.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18That scores you 53.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22You've taken one of the big names off the board, though. So it may well work in your favour.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25- Richard.- Yeah, 'Beefy' Botham.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27It's better than getting 100 points.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Probably England cricket's greatest ever all-rounder.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33Splendid. Good. Graham.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35Yes, um...
0:19:35 > 0:19:39definitely not one of my strongest subjects.
0:19:39 > 0:19:44So I am going to go for snooker
0:19:44 > 0:19:48- and Ronnie 'The Rocket' O'Sullivan. - Ronnie 'The Rocket' O'Sullivan.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52Let's see if that's a correct answer and, if so, how many knew that answer.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56It's right.
0:19:59 > 0:20:0133.
0:20:03 > 0:20:0520 whole points lower than Sue.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08Ronnie 'The Rocket', Richard?
0:20:08 > 0:20:11Ronnie O'Sullivan, multiple World Champion, made his first century break
0:20:11 > 0:20:13- at the age of ten.- Interesting.
0:20:13 > 0:20:14Now, then, Ross.
0:20:14 > 0:20:19We are looking for the real names of the sportsmen who have these nicknames.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Well, the only one
0:20:21 > 0:20:25I know anything about is Gazza.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28- Do you watch much sport? - I don't watch any sport.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30It's going to have to be Gazza.
0:20:30 > 0:20:36- Paul Gascoigne.- Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people knew that answer.
0:20:41 > 0:20:4567. That's a high score, there, Ross.
0:20:47 > 0:20:52- Gazza... Paul Gascoigne.- Do you sense that sport wasn't a great category for today's contestants?
0:20:52 > 0:20:59Probably Gazza's best, most famous goal was in Euro '96 when he took
0:20:59 > 0:21:02the ball over Colin Hendry and smashed it into the back of the Scotland net.
0:21:02 > 0:21:07- I don't know if you remember that at all?- Yes!- What a goal!
0:21:07 > 0:21:08Let's take a look at the rest.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10The Cat. Cricket.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13Do you know, Alexander?
0:21:13 > 0:21:14Phil Tufnell.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16Yes. Would have scored you 14 points.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19Stone Cold?
0:21:19 > 0:21:22- I don't know that.- Well, that would have scored you 19 points.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24'Stone Cold' Steve Austin, the American wrestler.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26- More points that Phil Tufnell?- Yeah.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30Phil Tufnell will be pleased. And 'The Juice'. Do you know 'The Juice'?
0:21:30 > 0:21:33- I think it was OJ. - OJ Simpson.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36A famous American footballer and then he was in the Naked Gun movies,
0:21:36 > 0:21:40then he just disappeared! LAUGHTER
0:21:41 > 0:21:43OK, let's take a look at the scores.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45We're halfway through the round.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47It's been a very, very high-scoring round.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50Graham and Valerie, who'd have thought?
0:21:50 > 0:21:52You're looking the most comfortable at this stage.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56Valerie, we just rely on your sporting know-how in the next pass
0:21:56 > 0:22:00to ensure that you make it through to the head-to-head.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04Sue and Phil, Ross and Ben, not a great deal to separate you.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08Ross and Ben, you have the highest score, so Ben, you know what you've got to do on the next pass.
0:22:08 > 0:22:14We're going back down the line. Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:22:14 > 0:22:17OK, we're going to put six more names on the board.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21Nicknames, I should say, on the board. And they read like this.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35And I will read those again.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44Remember, we are looking for the sportsmen these nicknames refer to.
0:22:44 > 0:22:48You are trying to find the one that the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Now, Ben, you are on 67. You are out in front.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55This is not my specialist subject, either, so I am going to play it
0:22:55 > 0:23:00absolutely safe and say Goldenballs... David Beckham.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04- OK, is that the only one on the board you knew?- Yes.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07OK, no red line for you. You are the highest scorers.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11'Goldenballs' Beckham. Let's see how many people said that.
0:23:16 > 0:23:1865 is what that scores you,
0:23:18 > 0:23:21taking your total up to 132.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Richard, Goldenballs.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26Pretty big score. David Beckham, of course, married to Posh Spice.
0:23:26 > 0:23:32- Very much the Billy Wright and the Beverley Sister of their day, aren't they?!- Absolutely.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35OK, now, Valerie, you are on 33.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38If you can score 98 or less with this answer,
0:23:38 > 0:23:41you are through to the head-to-head.
0:23:43 > 0:23:44Do you know any of those names?
0:23:44 > 0:23:47Not a single one!
0:23:47 > 0:23:49I think the only thing I can...
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Oh, dear...
0:23:51 > 0:23:54..is make a wild guess.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57Lightning Bolt... Steve Ovett?
0:23:57 > 0:24:00It's probably wrong!
0:24:00 > 0:24:05There's your red line. You don't have to go very far to cross it.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08Have you crossed the red line? That's the question.
0:24:08 > 0:24:09Steve Ovett... The Lightning Bolt?
0:24:09 > 0:24:12Let's see, is it right? How many people said it?
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Oh, Valerie, I am afraid that is an incorrect answer.
0:24:19 > 0:24:23I'm afraid that scores you the maximum of 100 points.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25That's great news for Ben and Ross.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28It sees them through to the head-to-head.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31Bad news for Valerie and Graham...for now. Richard.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35Yes, Steve Ovett would love to be called 'The Lightning Bolt', I suspect.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38I won't say who it is, in case Phil wants to have a go at that one.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42OK, Phil, you are on 53. You have to score 79 or less
0:24:42 > 0:24:48with this answer, 79 or less, and you are through to the head-to-head.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52OK, well, I could guess at some of the others,
0:24:52 > 0:24:56but there is only one other answer on there that I know,
0:24:56 > 0:24:59so I'm going to have to go for that,
0:24:59 > 0:25:01and that's the darts one...
0:25:01 > 0:25:03Phil 'The Power' Taylor.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06Phil 'The Power' Taylor. OK, here's your red line.
0:25:06 > 0:25:12If Phil 'The Power' gets you below that red line, you are through to the head-to-head.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Let's see if that's right and, if so, how many people said it.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18It's right.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21And you are through to the next round.
0:25:22 > 0:25:2428, Phil.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26That's not a bad score at all.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29It gives you a total of 81.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33Yes, very good, Phil. You are our very own Phil 'The Power'...
0:25:33 > 0:25:36fill in your surname, which I am not aware of!
0:25:36 > 0:25:38Let's take a look at the rest of these.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41Alexander, do you know any of these?
0:25:41 > 0:25:43The Dark Destroyer?
0:25:43 > 0:25:44I don't know that.
0:25:44 > 0:25:49That's Nigel Benn, the middleweight boxer who is famously competitive with Chris Eubank.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51Let's clear up The Lightning Bolt.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54- Do you know that? - I'm guessing that's Usain Bolt.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58Correct, the world's fastest man, would have scored you 35 points.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01Nigel Benn would have scored you 16 points.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03El Nino...football?
0:26:03 > 0:26:05No.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08El Nino and football is Fernando Torres, the Liverpool striker.
0:26:08 > 0:26:09Would have scored you 5.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11And Birdman and skateboarding?
0:26:11 > 0:26:14Weirdly, I do know that one.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16- OK...?- Tony Hawk.- It is Tony Hawk.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Very well done if you got that at home.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22It would have scored you 3 points. A very, very good answer.
0:26:22 > 0:26:26So at the end of Round Two, the losing pair with the highest score -
0:26:26 > 0:26:29a knife-edge result there -
0:26:29 > 0:26:31it's Graham and Valerie.
0:26:31 > 0:26:35So who's watching at home, Graham and Valerie?
0:26:35 > 0:26:39Probably nobody now. I don't suppose we're going to tell them!
0:26:39 > 0:26:42- LAUGHTER - Have you got children?
0:26:42 > 0:26:45- Yes, grown-up children.- Well, "children", yeah...- Offspring.
0:26:45 > 0:26:50- Three boys.- Three boys? How is it with three boys? We have three boys.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53Me and you? LAUGHTER
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Well, there you go!
0:26:55 > 0:27:01Let's put it this way. My middle son said that if we didn't take something back, he'd be changing the locks!
0:27:01 > 0:27:04Well, I tell you what, you WILL be taking something back -
0:27:04 > 0:27:08our deep respect for having been fantastic contestants,
0:27:08 > 0:27:12and our apologies for not having served you some better topics to answer on.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15But thank you for playing, Valerie and Graham, you've been great.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17APPLAUSE
0:27:17 > 0:27:22For the remaining two pairs, it's about to get more exciting now as we enter the head-to-head.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29So we've already said goodbye to two teams.
0:27:29 > 0:27:33It's now time to find out which of our remaining pairs will be playing
0:27:33 > 0:27:36for the jackpot which currently stands at an enormous...
0:27:36 > 0:27:39£11,250.
0:27:39 > 0:27:40APPLAUSE
0:27:40 > 0:27:42Right, so Phil and Sue, Ross and Ben,
0:27:42 > 0:27:48you are now going head-to-head on the best of three questions.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51You may now confer. That's the important bit.
0:27:51 > 0:27:55All you have to do is come up with an answer which scores less than the opposing pair to win that question.
0:27:55 > 0:28:01The first pair to win two questions will be playing for today's jackpot. OK, let's play Pointless.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07Here's your first question.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:28:09 > 0:28:14to name as many countries that border Russia as they could.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16Countries that border Russia. Richard.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19We're looking for any country that shares a land border with Russia.
0:28:19 > 0:28:24As always, by countries we mean a sovereign state that's a UN member in its own right.
0:28:24 > 0:28:28OK. Phil and Sue, you've played best throughout the show so far, so you get to answer first.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30We are looking for countries that border Russia.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33THEY WHISPER
0:28:40 > 0:28:42OK, we have an answer.
0:28:43 > 0:28:47Well, I can see it spelt in my head...
0:28:48 > 0:28:51so I'm hoping I'm pronouncing it roughly right.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53It's Kerzakstan.
0:28:53 > 0:28:58Kersakstan. OK, we have Kerzakstan from Phil and Sue. Ross and Ben?
0:28:58 > 0:29:03Well, there's all these former Soviet states, but how many of them actually do border Russia?
0:29:03 > 0:29:07That's the question. So we want to go for a better-known country
0:29:07 > 0:29:11which does have a border but people might not know it.
0:29:11 > 0:29:15So...we're going for...
0:29:15 > 0:29:17- Iran.- Iran.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20So we have Iran from Ross and Ben.
0:29:20 > 0:29:24We have Kerzakstan from Phil and Sue. Phil and Sue first. Kerzakstan.
0:29:24 > 0:29:29Let's see if that is correct and, if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:29:34 > 0:29:38Bad luck.
0:29:38 > 0:29:39Ross and Ben have gone for Iran.
0:29:39 > 0:29:44Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said Iran.
0:29:50 > 0:29:56Um...wow. So, after the first question, it is a 0-0 draw.
0:29:56 > 0:30:00- Richard.- Iran sounds like a good answer but it doesn't border Russia.
0:30:00 > 0:30:05I think that the country you were referring to was Kyrgyzstan but it doesn't actually border Russia
0:30:05 > 0:30:08so it wouldn't have been a correct answer anyway.
0:30:08 > 0:30:12Let's look at the countries that do border Russia. Probably fewer than you think.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14Azerbaijan and North Korea down the bottom with two.
0:30:14 > 0:30:19Well done if you got those. And then Belarus would have scored you 11 points.
0:30:19 > 0:30:25Kazakhstan and Georgia and Norway all got 13. Estonia on 17.
0:30:26 > 0:30:28Lithuania also 17.
0:30:28 > 0:30:35Latvia 18, Mongolia on 19, then Ukraine and Finland on 32. Poland 49.
0:30:35 > 0:30:39It's a bit like the Eurovision Song Contest, isn't it? Except China are in it!
0:30:39 > 0:30:42And China there on 54.
0:30:42 > 0:30:46OK, so we have had one question and we have got nowhere.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48Here is your second question.
0:30:48 > 0:30:55We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many ingredients in a salad nicoise as they could. Richard.
0:30:55 > 0:31:01Yes, we're looking for any of the main basic ingredients in a salad nicoise, not including the dressing.
0:31:01 > 0:31:05- We've gone with James Martin's recipe for the BBC. - Of course you would.
0:31:05 > 0:31:10The main ingredients in a classic salad nicoise.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13OK, Ross and Ben, you get to go first this time.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20OK, we have an answer.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23- We are going to go for tuna.- Tuna?
0:31:23 > 0:31:26OK, we have tuna from Ross and Ben.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28Phil and Sue, what do you say?
0:31:28 > 0:31:34I think black olives and I think potato?
0:31:34 > 0:31:37And maybe hard-boiled egg as well.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39Oh, yeah, hard-boiled egg. Definitely.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44He can take it then. Hard-boiled egg.
0:31:44 > 0:31:49Hard-boiled egg. OK, we have tuna and we have hard-boiled egg.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52OK, first, Ross and Ben. Tuna?
0:31:52 > 0:31:55Is that right and if it is how many people said tuna?
0:31:58 > 0:32:00It's right.
0:32:03 > 0:32:0625.
0:32:10 > 0:32:16And Phil and Sue have gone with hard-boiled egg. Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:32:18 > 0:32:19It's right.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25Ohhhhhhhh!
0:32:28 > 0:32:32So after the second question, Ross and Ben are up one-nil. Richard.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35Unlucky, Phil and Sue. Let's take a look at the ingredients.
0:32:35 > 0:32:41Mixed salad leaves scored two, French beans six, new potatoes 11,
0:32:41 > 0:32:44anchovies 12, olives 20.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47There's tuna on 25. Eggs 26...
0:32:47 > 0:32:52hard-boiled egg. Tomatoes 34 and lettuce right at the top on 53.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55OK, thanks, Richard. Here is your third question.
0:32:55 > 0:32:59Ross and Ben, if you win this, you are straight through to the final.
0:32:59 > 0:33:05Equally though, Phil and Sue, if you want to go through to the final, you have to win this point.
0:33:05 > 0:33:10We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many George Orwell novels as they could.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12Richard?
0:33:12 > 0:33:17We are looking for any of the nine complete novels or non-fiction works by George Orwell.
0:33:17 > 0:33:23We are not looking for any essays or poems. Just the nine novels and non-fiction works.
0:33:23 > 0:33:28Thanks very much. Phil and Sue, you go first this time.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30OK, Phil and Sue, we have an answer.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32We're going to go with The Road To Wigan Pier.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34The Road To Wigan Pier? OK.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37Ross and Ben?
0:33:37 > 0:33:41I only know the obvious ones. Ross thinks that he knows a risky one.
0:33:41 > 0:33:46I know of one but I think it's not fiction. I think it's essays.
0:33:46 > 0:33:50So Homage To Catalonia, I am going to go for.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53Homage to Catalonia. OK, we have The Road To Wigan Pier.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56We have Homage To Catalonia.
0:33:56 > 0:34:02The Road To Wigan Pier, let's see if it's right and, if it is, how many people said it.
0:34:04 > 0:34:05Right.
0:34:12 > 0:34:13Oh, look at that.
0:34:20 > 0:34:25That is fantastic. It might be just enough to keep you in the game.
0:34:25 > 0:34:29Ross and Ben have gone for Homage To Catalonia, though.
0:34:29 > 0:34:35Let's see if that is right and, if it is, let's see how many people said Homage To Catalonia.
0:34:35 > 0:34:36It's right.
0:34:43 > 0:34:44Yes!
0:34:48 > 0:34:52That's a fantastic answer, Ross and Ben.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55After the third question you're through to the final. Two-nil. Richard?
0:34:55 > 0:35:00Great answer. Well done, Ross and well done for trusting him, Ben.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02Homage To Catalonia, about his experiences in the Spanish Civil War.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04A couple of answers would have beaten it.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07There were a couple of pointless answers here.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09Burmese Days, his second novel.
0:35:09 > 0:35:13Coming Up For Air, often described as his most depressing book,
0:35:13 > 0:35:15which is saying something!
0:35:15 > 0:35:22There's Homage To Catalonia, A Clergyman's Daughter and Keep The Aspidistra Flying all on one point.
0:35:22 > 0:35:25There's The Road To Wigan Pier, three points.
0:35:25 > 0:35:29Down And Out In Paris and London on four. And then the two big-scorers...
0:35:29 > 0:35:35Nineteen Eighty-Four, 47, and Animal Farm on 51. Very well done if you got most of those at home.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38OK, thank you very much, Richard.
0:35:38 > 0:35:42So the losing pair at the end of the head-to-head is Phil and Sue.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45Wow, two incredibly close calls there. You knew your stuff.
0:35:45 > 0:35:51And there were countries bordering Russia that we could have said. Ukraine. Belarus.
0:35:51 > 0:35:55We thought they were too obvious but it would have won the point.
0:35:55 > 0:35:59I have every confidence that next time you will do even better.
0:35:59 > 0:36:00Thank very much for playing.
0:36:00 > 0:36:04Brilliant contestants. Phil and Sue.
0:36:06 > 0:36:12But for Ross and Ben, it is now time for our Pointless final and the chance to win £11,250.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17Congratulations, Ross and Ben.
0:36:17 > 0:36:21You have seen off all the competition and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:27 > 0:36:32- That's all we came for. - Of course! Of course it is.
0:36:32 > 0:36:38- You now, however, if you want it, have the chance to win our Pointless jackpot.- Yes, please.
0:36:38 > 0:36:43Well, at the end of today's show the jackpot stands at £11,250.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47One of our really big jackpots.
0:36:47 > 0:36:51To win the money, all you need to do is find a pointless answer...
0:36:51 > 0:36:54that's an answer that none of our 100 people could think of.
0:36:54 > 0:36:58Now we've had two Pointless answers on the show, which you both gave.
0:36:58 > 0:37:03You just need to find one more now and you will leave here and go home with all that money.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06First you've got to choose a category from these three options.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08You can go for...
0:37:21 > 0:37:22What do you think?
0:37:22 > 0:37:24Chemistry, definitely not.
0:37:24 > 0:37:29Definitely not. Out of the two of those, I'm thinking TV Chat Shows?
0:37:29 > 0:37:33- Yeah, I think we'll go for TV Chat Shows. - Not International Diplomacy?
0:37:33 > 0:37:37Let's find out what the question is.
0:37:37 > 0:37:40We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many
0:37:40 > 0:37:45guests on Friday Night With Jonathan Ross as they could.
0:37:45 > 0:37:49- Richard?- Yeah we're looking for anyone who appeared as a guest
0:37:49 > 0:37:53or musical act on the 2010 series of Friday Night With Jonathan Ross.
0:37:53 > 0:38:00That's from January 2010 to July 2010, in the studio or by satellite.
0:38:00 > 0:38:06OK, you now have up to one minute to come up with three answers. All you need to win that £11,250
0:38:06 > 0:38:09is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11Your 60 seconds start now.
0:38:11 > 0:38:17It's a big show so lots of big stars have been on it. Um...
0:38:17 > 0:38:22Andrew Lloyd Webber? Did he do it this year? I know he did it last year.
0:38:22 > 0:38:27I know Sade was on it when she had her new album.
0:38:27 > 0:38:30- Sade, that's good.- A bit obscure, so let's go with her.
0:38:30 > 0:38:35- Um... Lady Gaga. She's probably obvious.- Too big.
0:38:39 > 0:38:40Let's think of another one.
0:38:40 > 0:38:46- We've got Sade. We've got... - Karen Gillan, Andrew Lloyd Webber...
0:38:46 > 0:38:49Andrew Lloyd Webber. Are they the three we're going for?
0:38:54 > 0:38:56- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59Happy with those? Stop the clock? OK, so your three answers are?
0:38:59 > 0:39:04- Karen Gillan. - Karen Gillan.- Sade.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07- Sade.- And Andrew Lloyd Webber.
0:39:07 > 0:39:11And Andrew Lloyd Webber. OK, we are looking for guests on Friday Night With Jonathan Ross in 2010.
0:39:11 > 0:39:17Which of those do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:39:17 > 0:39:20- I'd go for Sade. - Sade? We'll put her last then.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22What about your least confident answer?
0:39:22 > 0:39:29- Karen Gillan will probably be high scoring.- We'll put Karen Gillan, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Sade.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32We'll put them up in that order. There they are up on the board.
0:39:32 > 0:39:36OK, we were looking for guests on Friday Night With Jonathan Ross.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38This was your least confident answer.
0:39:38 > 0:39:42You only need one of these to be pointless to win that £11,250 jackpot.
0:39:42 > 0:39:49OK, let's see if Karen Gillan is right and, if it is, let's see how many people said Karen Gillan.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56Bad luck.
0:39:56 > 0:40:00Your first answer is incorrect so that is not a pointless answer.
0:40:00 > 0:40:05You only have two more chances to win today's jackpot.
0:40:05 > 0:40:09- How confident are you on your next one?- Not really.
0:40:09 > 0:40:14I'm a big Dr Who fan and so I was sure she was going to be...
0:40:14 > 0:40:18Might it have been last year, I wonder?
0:40:18 > 0:40:22£11,250. How do you spend that?
0:40:22 > 0:40:26Well, I think we'd just have to go to Eurovision again, wouldn't we?
0:40:26 > 0:40:29Indeed. We could do that. Or a nice big holiday somewhere.
0:40:29 > 0:40:32Or both. At the same time.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34Or both.
0:40:34 > 0:40:38We're looking for guests on Friday Night With Jonathan Ross.
0:40:38 > 0:40:42Let's hope nobody said your next answer, which was Andrew Lloyd Webber.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44There it is. This has to be correct, of course.
0:40:44 > 0:40:48It also has to be pointless. Let's see if it's correct.
0:40:48 > 0:40:53If it is, let's see how many people said Andrew Lloyd Webber for £11,250.
0:40:54 > 0:40:56It's right.
0:40:56 > 0:40:57It's correct.
0:40:59 > 0:41:04It has to go all the way down to zero if you're going to win that jackpot of £11,250.
0:41:04 > 0:41:07Down into the 20s, into the teens, into the single figures.
0:41:12 > 0:41:17Oh! One person said Andrew Lloyd Webber so it's not a pointless answer.
0:41:17 > 0:41:21Oh, it's looking good for Sade, isn't it?
0:41:21 > 0:41:26It's looking good for Sade. OK, Andrew Lloyd Webber, not a pointless answer.
0:41:26 > 0:41:30That means you only have one shot
0:41:30 > 0:41:32at the jackpot. One shot remaining.
0:41:32 > 0:41:39This is your best and final shot at that jackpot of £11,250.
0:41:39 > 0:41:46OK, we are looking for guests on Friday Night With Jonathan Ross in 2010. You're saying Sade.
0:41:46 > 0:41:50Let's see if it's correct and, if it is, how many people said it.
0:41:50 > 0:41:53It has to be pointless to win that jackpot. Sade.
0:41:56 > 0:41:57It's right.
0:41:57 > 0:42:00It's correct. Can this go all the way?
0:42:00 > 0:42:02Andrew Lloyd Webber only went down to one.
0:42:02 > 0:42:07Sade has to go all the way down to zero of you're going to win that jackpot. £11,250.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15Fantastic. Well done!
0:42:28 > 0:42:29Congratulations.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32You managed to find that all-important pointless answer
0:42:32 > 0:42:37which means you do go home with the jackpot of £11,250.
0:42:37 > 0:42:40- How does that feel?- I'm speechless. I just...- It feels fantastic.
0:42:40 > 0:42:47- No idea we would win but just so pleased that we did. - Well, well done. Well done.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49- Richard?- Yeah, very well done.
0:42:49 > 0:42:52Are you sure we can't tempt you with International Diplomacy?
0:42:52 > 0:42:54No, no, we're fine with what we've got, thank you.
0:42:54 > 0:42:58Good answers. Andrew Lloyd Webber and Sade were actually on the same show.
0:42:58 > 0:43:02- Really?- So that was a very profitable Friday night in you had, Ross.- Yeah!
0:43:06 > 0:43:09Very well deserved. You played brilliantly throughout.
0:43:09 > 0:43:13Very well done. Well, thanks once again to our winning contestants,
0:43:13 > 0:43:18Ross and Ben, who go away with today's jackpot of £11,250.
0:43:22 > 0:43:26Join us next time, we'll be putting more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.
0:43:26 > 0:43:29- Goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye. - And goodbye from me. Goodbye.
