0:00:20 > 0:00:23APPLAUSE
0:00:23 > 0:00:28Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless, the quiz show
0:00:28 > 0:00:32where high scores count for nothing and obscurity counts for everything. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39Welcome back, Phil and Sue. You were on the show last time.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42Everyone, of course, gets two shots at the Pointless final.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45This is your second chance, remind us how you did.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47- Well, we think we did quite well. - You did pretty well.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50We got to the head-to-head and then we were just beaten.
0:00:50 > 0:00:56Two of the closest-fought points I've ever seen, in that round. Oh, you was robbed.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59We was robbed by a boiled egg.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Don't be so rude about those contestants.
0:01:02 > 0:01:08Best of luck to the pair of you. I have high hopes for you going a long way again in the show.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Laura and Glenda are our second pair, how do you two know each other?
0:01:11 > 0:01:13This is my mum and I'm her daughter.
0:01:13 > 0:01:17Oh, it's a two-way street, oh, I see, that was nice.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20- Glenda, where have you come from? - Sheringham in Norfolk.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22- And Laura?- Just outside Cambridge.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Very good indeed. What do you do, Laura?
0:01:24 > 0:01:29- I'm a housewife and stay-at-home mum. - And how about you, Glenda?
0:01:29 > 0:01:34- I'm a primary school teacher. - Wow, very best of luck to the pair of you.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37And next we welcome Steve and David, where have you two come from?
0:01:37 > 0:01:41We've come from Swindon today, where we met through work,
0:01:41 > 0:01:4520 years ago and been mates ever since through pub quizzes.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49- Pub quizzes? 20 years of quizzing. - On and off.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53You're going to have to be good.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57Best of luck. And finally, we've got Rachel and Ryan. How do you two know each other?
0:01:57 > 0:01:59We first met in university.
0:01:59 > 0:02:06We were both down in Exeter and I was in my fourth year and she was an impressionable first year.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09And you... Dare I say, took advantage of her? I don't know.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11LAUGHTER
0:02:11 > 0:02:14I don't want to cut to the chase so quickly.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17- Were you both doing the same course? - No, not at all.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20- So, how did you meet?- Trampolining.
0:02:21 > 0:02:26That's...fun. Did you do that a lot?
0:02:26 > 0:02:31We tried, I think, could be the actual words to say because both of us are very bad at trampolining.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34Has the relationship had its ups and down ever since?
0:02:34 > 0:02:36AUDIENCE GROANS
0:02:36 > 0:02:39- (Sorry.) - < You can answer that one.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Listen, very best of luck to the pair of you.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46We'll find out more about all of you throughout the show.
0:02:46 > 0:02:51There is just one more person to introduce, a man whose mind is an array of obscure knowledge...
0:02:51 > 0:02:54An array... That's what you are.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56He's my Pointless...
0:02:56 > 0:03:00Such abject resignation, oh, I suppose that is what I am.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02He's my Pointless friend, he's Richard.
0:03:02 > 0:03:03Hello.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07APPLAUSE
0:03:07 > 0:03:11I know what you are, you're my obscurity guard.
0:03:11 > 0:03:12Oh.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15You should have a peaked cap from now on.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18It's only taken you 102 shows to think that one up.
0:03:18 > 0:03:23Literally just now, show 102, I slipped that one into the top right pocket.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25How are you this afternoon? >
0:03:25 > 0:03:28- I'm very well.- Good. We've got an interesting show today.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32We've only got one returning pair, that's Phil and Sue, rather good last time.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34So, the other teams have got their work cut out.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38Steve and David have sort of set themselves up for a fall, haven't they?
0:03:38 > 0:03:42With all this talk of being pub quiz contestants for years and years.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45I think everybody at home will be expecting something spectacular
0:03:45 > 0:03:49from you guys, fireworks from round one onwards.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Is it fireworks from round one?
0:03:51 > 0:03:55It's fireworks from round one onwards, yeah,
0:03:55 > 0:03:58so round two and round three are fireworks.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01We have put all our questions to 100 people before the show but this is Pointless
0:04:01 > 0:04:04so we are after the obscure answers that they didn't get.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Now, to stay in the game with a chance to win our jackpot
0:04:06 > 0:04:10all our players need to do is score as few points as they possibly can.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12What everyone is trying to do is find a pointless answer
0:04:12 > 0:04:16and that's an answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19And every time that happens we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:04:19 > 0:04:24Now, Ross and Ben won a spectacular jackpot last time so today's jackpot starts off at £1,000.
0:04:24 > 0:04:25There it is.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29APPLAUSE
0:04:29 > 0:04:30OK, let's play Pointless.
0:04:35 > 0:04:40Now, in the first round each of you must give me one answer and you cannot confer with your partner.
0:04:40 > 0:04:45Whichever team has the highest score at the end of the round obviously will be eliminated.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48Do please be careful because if anyone gives me an incorrect answer
0:04:48 > 0:04:51then they will score the maximum of 100 points.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53OK, our first category in round one is...
0:04:56 > 0:05:00Africa. Can you decide in your pairs who is going to go first,
0:05:00 > 0:05:04who is going to go second? And whoever is going first please step up to the podium.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10OK, let's find out what the question is.
0:05:10 > 0:05:18We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many Commonwealth states in Africa as they could...Richard.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21We are looking for any country that is wholly or partly in Africa
0:05:21 > 0:05:25that is one of the 54 Commonwealth states, that's as of July 2010.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29As always by country we mean a member of the UN that is a sovereign state.
0:05:31 > 0:05:37OK, right, Phil and Sue, you all drew lots before the show and today you get to go first.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41Now Sue, I can see you are itching to give me an answer.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45Are you good on this sort of thing?
0:05:45 > 0:05:50Well, I have been to Africa so I feel I know a bit about it.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53- You've got one. - Well, I've just thought of some.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56It's nothing obscure or brilliant or anything like that.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00It's just one that I feel is probably safe and I'm going to say Kenya.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04OK, you're going to say Kenya. We are looking for Commonwealth states in Africa.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08Sue's saying Kenya. You're hoping to score as few points as possible.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11Let's see how many people said Kenya, if it's a correct answer.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13It's right, Sue.
0:06:17 > 0:06:1832.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22You're shaking your head.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26I'm not happy with that because that's a high score...
0:06:26 > 0:06:28I tell you what, it is better than 100.
0:06:28 > 0:06:34- Kenya. - A safe start. It joined on gaining independence from Britain in 1963.
0:06:34 > 0:06:40- Glenda, we are looking for Commonwealth states in Africa.- Yes.
0:06:40 > 0:06:47I think you are the best-placed person to give possibly a pointless answer.
0:06:47 > 0:06:54I can only think of one and I've a horrible feeling everybody at home is going to go, how stupid is that,
0:06:54 > 0:06:57because I'm not even sure it's Africa,
0:06:57 > 0:07:00- Guyana, British Guyana. - You don't teach geography?
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Well, I only teach little children.
0:07:02 > 0:07:07- So, right...you're going to say...? - British Guyana.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11I think it sounds like a great answer, Glenda. British Guyana.
0:07:11 > 0:07:12Oh, no!
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Don't pre-empt.
0:07:15 > 0:07:16Oh, no!
0:07:16 > 0:07:20Wow, that was like when a mobile phone makes a funny noise before it rings.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Glenda knew. I'm afraid that's incorrect.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26- <I know, I'm sorry. - It scores you 100 points, don't apologise.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28- I- apologise. Richard.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32Apologise to the schoolchildren of Britain maybe, rather than to Alexander.
0:07:32 > 0:07:38My mum is also a primary school teacher and she would have got it wrong as well, bless her.
0:07:38 > 0:07:43It's now Guyana and it's in South America, the top of South America, Guyana.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47Now then, David, so we are looking for Commonwealth states in Africa.
0:07:48 > 0:07:53Africa isn't a strong subject for me but I'm sure on the news
0:07:53 > 0:07:56there's been a story of a new country from Africa
0:07:56 > 0:08:01adopted as a Commonwealth country that doesn't meet the normal criteria
0:08:01 > 0:08:05for a Commonwealth country and that's Rwanda.
0:08:05 > 0:08:10- Rwanda... Rwanda is now in the Commonwealth, you think.- I hope so.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12According to a news report that you saw.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16- On the BBC.- On the BBC. Or dreamt.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19That's more like it.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23Oh, no, this could be a brilliant answer, you're hoping to score as few points as possible.
0:08:23 > 0:08:28Let's see if Rwanda is a correct answer and if it is, let's see how far it goes down the column.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31We are waiting for Glenda to go, "Oh, no! Oh no!"
0:08:35 > 0:08:36It's right!
0:08:42 > 0:08:45APPLAUSE
0:08:45 > 0:08:48That's a wonderful answer, there, David. It's not pointless
0:08:48 > 0:08:52but it scores you three points which is an impressive low score. Richard.
0:08:52 > 0:08:57It's a great answer, David and you were exactly right, they joined in November 2009.
0:08:57 > 0:09:02There was some kerfuffle as to whether they should be allowed to join but they were allowed in.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05Very good, brilliant answer.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Now then, Rachel.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10That's a bit of a tough act to follow.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14I've been to Africa as well, which is why I stupidly went first
0:09:14 > 0:09:17but again know nothing about the Commonwealth.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20I don't know whether to go with a more obscure one
0:09:20 > 0:09:23and probably be wrong or say something a bit more obvious.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27So, I think I might play it safe-ish,
0:09:27 > 0:09:31I don't really know, and just say...
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Nigeria.
0:09:33 > 0:09:38Nigeria, you are saying Nigeria, playing it safe. You're hoping to score as few points as possible.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42Let's see if that is correct and if it is, let's see how many people said Nigeria.
0:09:43 > 0:09:44It's right.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Well, done Rachel, that's not a bad answer at all,
0:09:52 > 0:09:55Nigeria scores you 26 points. Richard.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Well played, joined in 1960.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01We're halfway through the round so let's take a look at the scores as they stand.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Well, Laura and Glenda...
0:10:04 > 0:10:07British Guyana... had British in it, surely.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09- Not my subject.- Well, there we are.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11I'm afraid it cost you dear, that one.
0:10:11 > 0:10:16You are way out in front on 100. Steve and David on the other hand.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20Fabulous answer from David there with Rwanda.
0:10:20 > 0:10:25Sue and Phil looking pretty good on 32. Rachel and Ryan looking pretty good on 26. Nice low scores.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:10:32 > 0:10:37OK, we are looking for Commonwealth states in Africa. OK, Ryan.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39I'm struggling a little bit.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Well, Ryan, you are on 26.
0:10:41 > 0:10:47If you can score 73 or less with this answer you are definitely in the next round.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50In the Commonwealth Games, I'm fairly sure
0:10:50 > 0:10:54South Africa are normally there, so I am going to go with that.
0:10:54 > 0:10:58South Africa, OK, there is your red line coming in, nice high red line.
0:10:58 > 0:11:03Let's see if South Africa gets you below that red line.
0:11:05 > 0:11:06Well done.
0:11:08 > 0:11:1238 said South Africa, that takes your score up to 64.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Richard, South Africa.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18One of the founding members in 1931.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22Obviously they weren't in the Commonwealth throughout the apartheid era.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25They got back in, in '94 after their first democratic elections.
0:11:25 > 0:11:30OK, so Steve, you are on three, if you can score 96 or less
0:11:30 > 0:11:34with this answer you are through to the next round.
0:11:34 > 0:11:39Commonwealth states in Africa... I think you are also nursing a brilliant answer there.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42I'm thinking...if I'm wrong with this he's going to kill me.
0:11:42 > 0:11:47If you're wrong with this you may still be through to the next round.
0:11:47 > 0:11:53I have been trying to think through all of the countries with strong British interests
0:11:53 > 0:11:57and the one on the top of my mind
0:11:57 > 0:11:58is Ghana.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01Ghana, very good, Ghana.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Here is your red line, beautifully high.
0:12:04 > 0:12:09If Ghana is correct it may get you below that red line, it will see you through to the next round.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Let's see if Ghana is correct.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15It's right, you're through.
0:12:20 > 0:12:26Lovely answer, Steve, that scores you 11, takes your total up to 14.
0:12:26 > 0:12:31- So, Ghana, Richard. - Yeah, another very good answer, they joined on their independence in 1957.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34I wonder if Ghana often gets confused with Guyana.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38- Maybe they get each other's mail. - I bet they do, I bet they do.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42Now then, Laura...
0:12:42 > 0:12:46Laura, you are on 100, you are still way out ahead.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49You have to score as low as you possibly, possibly can.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53If Phil, let's say, makes a mistake and scores 100
0:12:53 > 0:12:58you would still have to be scoring 31 or less
0:12:58 > 0:13:02but if you could get a pointless answer it would do nothing but help.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04I've got nothing to lose, really.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06I can't go, I had a safe choice and...
0:13:06 > 0:13:09Safe choice isn't going to do it for you. Safe choice is no longer safe.
0:13:09 > 0:13:14So, I have one African country which I have read books about and I quite like.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18I know they speak English and I've watched television programmes about it
0:13:18 > 0:13:21and as I know not what the Commonwealth means...
0:13:21 > 0:13:24(ARCHLY) You know not what the Commonwealth means...
0:13:24 > 0:13:26..I am going to say Botswana.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28Botswana.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32Very approving noises coming from the boundary.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36Botswana, you are saying. You hope to score as few points as possible.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40Maybe it will be low enough, if it's correct, to save your bacon.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Let's see Botswana. Is it correct?
0:13:43 > 0:13:45It's right.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Let's see how far down it goes.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50It's below the twenties...
0:13:50 > 0:13:52Wow! Brilliant answer, Laura,
0:13:55 > 0:13:57A brilliant, brilliant answer.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01That scores you eight, takes your total up to 108.
0:14:01 > 0:14:07- Richard, Botswana.- Yes, Botswana it's in the Commonwealth and even better than that, it's in Africa.
0:14:10 > 0:14:17Great answer. Now then, Phil, you hold the balance here, you are on 32, if you can score 75 or less
0:14:17 > 0:14:21you are through to the next round and we say goodbye to Laura and Glenda.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24We are looking for Commonwealth states in Africa.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27How good is your Commonwealth knowledge?
0:14:27 > 0:14:28< Not good.
0:14:28 > 0:14:34Well, my geography isn't good and I'm not a sports fan
0:14:34 > 0:14:39so I can't go by remembering teams I've seen in the Commonwealth Games.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43So, I'm just going to have to take a punt and hope this is right.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45I'm going to say Zimbabwe.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48Zimbabwe. OK, here is your red line,
0:14:48 > 0:14:52if you get below that red line with Zimbabwe you're through to the next round.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54It has to be correct, though.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56That's the question, is it correct?
0:15:00 > 0:15:04Ooh, that's a lifeline for Laura and Glenda,
0:15:04 > 0:15:06terrible news for Phil and Sue.
0:15:06 > 0:15:11Zimbabwe unfortunately is an incorrect answer so you scored a maximum of 100 points
0:15:11 > 0:15:12taking your total up to 132. Richard.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16Unlucky, Phil, they used to be in the Commonwealth, but were suspended
0:15:16 > 0:15:19in 2002 because of Robert Mugabe's election campaign.
0:15:19 > 0:15:24And then in 2003, that suspension, they wanted to keep it up, so Zimbabwe left.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27- Were there any pointless answers? - There were no pointless answers actually,
0:15:27 > 0:15:31there were some very low scorers so let's take a look at the lowest three answers.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35The best answer of all, which would have scored you one point is Lesotho,
0:15:35 > 0:15:37which is completely surrounded by South Africa.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Swaziland, would have scored you two.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43We've already had Rwanda from David, so that's a brilliant answer.
0:15:43 > 0:15:48Those are the best three. The worst answers, we've already heard all three of them, actually.
0:15:48 > 0:15:54Rachel gave us Nigeria, Kenya, Sue gave us that,
0:15:54 > 0:16:00and Ryan you gave us South Africa, the biggest answer of all.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03OK, thanks very much, Richard. So, at the end of round one
0:16:03 > 0:16:07the losing pair with the highest score, I'm afraid, it's Phil and Sue.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10The annoying thing is the answer I was battling with
0:16:10 > 0:16:14was Botswana. Botswana was where I went to in Africa.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17So, why didn't I know it was a Commonwealth country?
0:16:17 > 0:16:20Still, it's been fabulous having you on the show.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24I'm sorry to be saying goodbye so soon but you've been great contestants.
0:16:24 > 0:16:25Thanks so much for playing.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27APPLAUSE
0:16:27 > 0:16:30For the remaining three players it's now time for round two.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38There's only room for two pairs in the head-to-head
0:16:38 > 0:16:41so one team is going to be leaving us at the end of this round.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44Your category for round two is...
0:16:48 > 0:16:51Can you decide in your pairs who is going to go first and who is going to go second?
0:16:51 > 0:16:54And whoever's going first please step up to the podium.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01OK, your question for round two concerns...
0:17:07 > 0:17:11So, in this round we are about to show you some UK number one albums.
0:17:11 > 0:17:17We gave 100 people 100 seconds to tell us which artist released them.
0:17:17 > 0:17:22- Richard.- We are going to give you six number one albums on each pass.
0:17:22 > 0:17:26The more obscure ones will score you the fewest points but if you give us
0:17:26 > 0:17:28an incorrect answer you will score 100 points.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30And, see if you can get all six at home.
0:17:30 > 0:17:35Right, here is your first list of six albums.
0:17:53 > 0:17:58We are looking for the artists that UK number ones with these albums.
0:17:58 > 0:18:02- Laura.- I think... - Are you a music fan, Laura?
0:18:02 > 0:18:08- Yeah, but most of these strike me as being a bit older than me.- I see.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11So, I'm going to go with Born In The USA
0:18:11 > 0:18:14which I believe is by Bruce Springsteen.
0:18:14 > 0:18:20You are going to say, Born In The USA by Bruce Springsteen.
0:18:20 > 0:18:25Well, let's see if that's correct and let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:18:25 > 0:18:26It is correct!
0:18:33 > 0:18:3654 that scores. Gosh, it's a high score for the Boss there.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38It is. He'll be pleased with that if he's watching.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41- Hi, Bruce, if you are watching. - Hey, Bruce.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44Number one, in 1985 for four weeks, Born In The USA.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49A very good answer. Steve...
0:18:49 > 0:18:53So we are looking for the artists who had a UK number one with these albums.
0:18:53 > 0:18:58I think again, once again, look...
0:18:58 > 0:19:01He knows all the answers.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03The eyes of a quiz assassin there. >
0:19:03 > 0:19:06LAUGHTER
0:19:06 > 0:19:09- I'm struggling, this is not my... - You're not, come now,
0:19:09 > 0:19:11look at all these.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15Albums are not...my thing at all.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17- Do you like music, do you listen music?- I do.
0:19:18 > 0:19:23- What's your taste in music? - The likes of REM.- Right.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29There's one up there that I think, from somewhere, I don't know why,
0:19:29 > 0:19:30I know it but I think
0:19:30 > 0:19:33I'm going to go with Faith.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37I'm not at all confident. I'm going to say George Michael.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39Faith, you're going to say,
0:19:39 > 0:19:44- George Michael. That's a bit of a shot in the dark, is it?- It is.
0:19:44 > 0:19:50OK, well let's see if it's right and if it is, let's see how many said Faith - George Michael.
0:19:52 > 0:19:53It's right.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03That earns you 39 and a pat on the back from David.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05Faith, George Michael.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07Yeah, another pretty big score.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09It was number one in 1987.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13- He has continued to entertain us ever since, has he not? - Hasn't he?- In various ways.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17- Various ways, not all of them, in fact, hardly any of them musical. - True.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21Now, Rachel we are looking for the artists
0:20:21 > 0:20:24who had UK number ones with these albums.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26I don't have a clue about Sticky Fingers
0:20:26 > 0:20:29or Good Girl Gone Bad but I know that Rubber Soul
0:20:29 > 0:20:32is definitely by the Beatles because I grew up
0:20:32 > 0:20:35listening to it pretty much every day with my dad.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37Well, I am pretty certain that
0:20:37 > 0:20:40White Ladder's by David Gray as well.
0:20:40 > 0:20:45So I'm going to risk it and go for White Ladder, David Gray.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47White Ladder, David Gray.
0:20:47 > 0:20:51Let's see if it's right and if it is, let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Right.
0:20:59 > 0:21:03Very, very good indeed, Rachel. That was exactly the right answer,
0:21:03 > 0:21:06White Ladder, David Gray, 16 points, it scores you.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10Yeah, very well played, Rachel, it was number one in 2001.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13Let's have a look at the rest of the board.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16Rubber Soul is the Beatles
0:21:16 > 0:21:18that would have scored you 23 points.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21- Sticky Fingers.- Rolling Stones. Rolling Stones, of course.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24More obscure than White Ladder by David Gray,
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Sticky Fingers by the Rolling Stones.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29- And do you know Good Girl Gone Bad? - I do, it's Rhianna.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31That would have scored you eight,
0:21:31 > 0:21:34the best answer on the board. So, well done if you got that.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37We're halfway through the round so let's take a look at those scores.
0:21:37 > 0:21:43Well, a pretty low scoring round generally. Laura and Glenda, 54,
0:21:43 > 0:21:47- quite high but hey, it's better than 100.- Much better.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50Steve and David, 39, nice sort of middling score
0:21:50 > 0:21:53but Rachel, White Ladder, 16, a brilliant answer,
0:21:53 > 0:21:57Ryan keep that up and you should see yourselves comfortably through to the head-to-head.
0:21:57 > 0:22:01OK, can the second players take their places at the podium?
0:22:03 > 0:22:06We are going to put six more UK albums on the board.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Here they are.
0:22:26 > 0:22:31Remember we are looking for the artists that had UK number ones with these albums
0:22:31 > 0:22:35and you are trying to find the one that the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37Ryan, you are on 16, a lovely low score.
0:22:37 > 0:22:42If you can score 37 or less you are definitely in the next round.
0:22:42 > 0:22:46I know a couple but it's working it out...
0:22:46 > 0:22:49Seeing as I've got a bit of a buffer, now...
0:22:49 > 0:22:50Who are you calling a bit of a buffer?
0:22:50 > 0:22:52..I might as well play it fairly safe.
0:22:52 > 0:22:57Yeah, I'm fairly sure Heathen Chemistry was by Oasis.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01Heathen Chemistry, here's your red line.
0:23:02 > 0:23:09Let's see if Heathen Chemistry gets you below that red line.
0:23:09 > 0:23:10It's right.
0:23:14 > 0:23:15Very good indeed.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21That scores you nine, a brilliant answer, Ryan, takes your total up to 25.
0:23:21 > 0:23:26Very well done, Ryan. It was number one in 2002, Heathen Chemistry. One of their many number one albums.
0:23:26 > 0:23:31So, we are looking for the artists who had a UK number one with these albums.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35David, you are on 39.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37If you can score 14 or less with this answer,
0:23:37 > 0:23:4114 or less, you are definitely through to the next round.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43What's that list looking like behind me?
0:23:43 > 0:23:46There's a couple that I think would be quite high,
0:23:46 > 0:23:53one I've never heard of, so of the others I think Brothers in Arms is
0:23:53 > 0:23:59quite old now and the group haven't done much in recent times.
0:23:59 > 0:24:03So, I think they may be a bit less well-known.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06So I'll go Brothers in Arms and Dire Straits.
0:24:06 > 0:24:10OK, Dire Straits you're saying. There is the red line.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13If you come below that red line you're through to the next round for sure.
0:24:13 > 0:24:18Let's see if Brothers in Arms is indeed by Dire Straits. If it is let's see how many people knew that.
0:24:20 > 0:24:21It's right.
0:24:26 > 0:24:3239 - that scores you exactly the same score as Steve had. Takes your total up to 78.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35Yeah, Dire Straits scoring exactly the same as George Michael.
0:24:35 > 0:24:401985 Brothers In Arms was number one, one of the biggest selling albums of all time.
0:24:40 > 0:24:45- Same year as Bruce Springsteen. - Same year as Born In The USA, but one of those albums that has endured.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48It's sold millions and millions of copies over the years.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51Glenda, you are on 54.
0:24:51 > 0:24:57If you can score 23 or less with this answer, you are through to the head-to-head
0:24:57 > 0:25:00and we say goodbye to Dave and Steve.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02Think you can do it?
0:25:02 > 0:25:04Really? Laura thinks you can.
0:25:04 > 0:25:09- I should have had the last list. - Really?- Yeah, on the wrong list.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11- A bit of a Rhianna fan?- No.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13The problem with this list
0:25:13 > 0:25:16is I'm guessing on every single one
0:25:16 > 0:25:22and Blue Hawaii I'm guessing could be Elvis Presley,
0:25:22 > 0:25:26which is probably totally wrong.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29And I Dreamed A Dream I'm guessing Susan Boyle
0:25:29 > 0:25:33but then I don't know if that's the one that she sang.
0:25:33 > 0:25:38You are suggesting Elvis and SuBo. They are your two...
0:25:38 > 0:25:42And of the two really Elvis should be lower, if it was right
0:25:42 > 0:25:44but I'm not sure it is right, so, and I'm not sure
0:25:44 > 0:25:48the other one's right, but I'm going to say I Dreamed A Dream,
0:25:48 > 0:25:49Susan Boyle.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51Put your faith in SuBo.
0:25:51 > 0:25:58OK, here's your red line. If Susan Boyle gets you below that red line you are through to the head-to-head.
0:25:58 > 0:26:03Let's see if it's right and if it is, let's see how many people said Susan Boyle, I Dreamed A Dream.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07It's right.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12Oh, no, so cruel.
0:26:12 > 0:26:19That scores you 29. Dear, oh, dear, takes your total to 83.
0:26:19 > 0:26:23I said Susan Boyle, I Dreamed A Dream, is right... I'm not sure if it is right.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26- It's a correct answer. - It's a correct answer.
0:26:26 > 0:26:30Glenda, if you had said Blue Hawaii and you had gone for Elvis Presley,
0:26:30 > 0:26:34- because it is Elvis Presley, you would have scored 21 points.- Oh, no.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37- And you'd be through to the next round, I'm sorry.- I just wasn't sure.
0:26:37 > 0:26:41Exactly. You have to go with your gut.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44And the other two there, Alexander, Everything Changes...
0:26:44 > 0:26:48- Is Take That.- Take That Mark I, the early days.
0:26:48 > 0:26:53Would have scored you 17 points, very, very good score. And No Angel?
0:26:53 > 0:26:55The wonderful Dido Armstrong.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58It is Dido indeed, and would have scored you 12 points.
0:26:58 > 0:27:02Heathen Chemistry was the best answer on that board, Ryan, so well done getting that.
0:27:02 > 0:27:08Thanks Richard. So, at the end of round two, the losing pair with the highest score - Laura and Glenda.
0:27:08 > 0:27:13- Oh, dear, oh, dear, we haven't seen you at your best, have we? - Hopefully not.
0:27:13 > 0:27:17I don't know what's worse, that Elvis scored fewer points than SuBo.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20Is that a fitting legacy for the King?
0:27:20 > 0:27:21- Elvis.- Yeah.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24Well, SuBo's better than Elvis.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30You will be back next time, of that we can be absolutely sure
0:27:30 > 0:27:32and I have a hunch you will go further next time.
0:27:32 > 0:27:37Great shame to say goodbye to you so soon but thanks very much for playing, great contestants.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39APPLAUSE
0:27:39 > 0:27:43Things are about to get even more exciting now as we enter the head-to-head.
0:27:47 > 0:27:51Well done, Rachel and Ryan, Steve and David, you've made it through to the head-to-head.
0:27:51 > 0:27:55Now, obviously only one pair can make it through to the final and
0:27:55 > 0:27:59play for the jackpot which currently stands at £1,000.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01APPLAUSE
0:28:01 > 0:28:05OK, you're going to go head-to-head now on the best of three questions.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08You can now confer, that's the good news.
0:28:08 > 0:28:12All you have to do is score fewer points with each answer
0:28:12 > 0:28:16than your opposing pair and you will win that question.
0:28:16 > 0:28:20The first pair to win two questions will go through to the final and
0:28:20 > 0:28:22play for the jackpot. OK, let's play Pointless.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29Here is your first question. We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:28:29 > 0:28:34to name as many 999 emergency services as they could.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36Richard.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39There are six emergency services that can be called out >
0:28:39 > 0:28:41in the UK by dialling 999.
0:28:41 > 0:28:46We are looking for the most obscure one and this is as of April 2010.
0:28:46 > 0:28:52OK, Rachel and Ryan, because you've played best throughout the show so far, you get to go first.
0:28:52 > 0:28:56We are looking for 999 emergency services.
0:29:02 > 0:29:03OK.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07- OK, have we got an answer?- Yes.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10We are going to go for the coastguard.
0:29:10 > 0:29:14Coastguard, Rachel and Ryan are saying coastguard.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16Steve and David?
0:29:16 > 0:29:19- Lifeboat.- Lifeboat, that's the same, isn't it?
0:29:19 > 0:29:22- That's the same as the coastguard, isn't it?- Mountain rescue?
0:29:22 > 0:29:25- Mountain rescue... - Mountain rescue?
0:29:25 > 0:29:30That's the answer that we were thinking of, but we are thinking possibly mountain rescue.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33Mountain rescue, OK, you are going to go for that one.
0:29:33 > 0:29:37OK, Rachel and Ryan, you said coastguard, let's see if that's correct and if it is,
0:29:37 > 0:29:41how many people said it. Coastguard - good luck.
0:29:44 > 0:29:45Oh!
0:29:46 > 0:29:48- A high score. - APPLAUSE
0:29:48 > 0:29:5577 for coastguard. Steve and David have gone for mountain rescue. Is that a bit of a guess?
0:29:55 > 0:29:58- A bit of an inspired hunch. - An inspired hunch.
0:29:58 > 0:30:04OK, let's see if your inspired hunch is correct and if it is, if it beats the 77 that coastguard scored.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06Mountain rescue...
0:30:10 > 0:30:12Oh, it does, look at that.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15Boy, look at that - 26.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20I suspect that was the best answer you could have given.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23So after the first question, Steve and David are up 1-0. Richard.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26It wasn't the best answer you could have given, actually.
0:30:26 > 0:30:31We all know the top three, I suspect, and then we've got the coastguard and mountain rescue.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34There is one other that would have beaten mountain rescue.
0:30:34 > 0:30:38- Air ambulance, no?- Not quite, let's take a look and very well done
0:30:38 > 0:30:40at home if you said cave rescue.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43That would have scored you six points.
0:30:43 > 0:30:48Mountain rescue, 26, coastguard, 77, fire, 98, ambulance, 99,
0:30:48 > 0:30:51and that very, very rare thing we have on Pointless,
0:30:51 > 0:30:53which is police with 100.
0:30:53 > 0:30:58That would be only the second 100 answer we've ever had.
0:30:58 > 0:31:04Now then, Steve and David, if you win this point you are through in straight sets into the final.
0:31:04 > 0:31:09Rachel and Ryan, you have to win this point to stay in the game.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12Here's your second question. We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:31:12 > 0:31:16to name as many Happy Days characters as they could.
0:31:16 > 0:31:20- Richard. - We are looking for any of the nine main characters who appeared in
0:31:20 > 0:31:23100 or more episodes of Happy Days.
0:31:23 > 0:31:29And first names or nicknames will be accepted. Nine characters appeared in 100 or more episodes of Happy Days.
0:31:29 > 0:31:33Right you are, Steve and David, you go first this time.
0:31:33 > 0:31:38THEY CONFER
0:31:38 > 0:31:43Well, apart from one obvious one, the only one we can think of is Ralph.
0:31:43 > 0:31:45Ralph.
0:31:45 > 0:31:49OK, Ralph. Rachel and Ryan, Happy Days.
0:31:51 > 0:31:58I only know there's that ginger character, the actor was in ER and Fame,
0:31:58 > 0:32:03and he had curly hair so we could guess at something like Curly or something like that.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05That might be in Happy Days.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07Or we could say the Fonz.
0:32:07 > 0:32:11Didn't the Fonz call one of them Mr H or something?
0:32:11 > 0:32:13I don't know, guess whatever.
0:32:13 > 0:32:17- Shall we go with Mr H? - Why not, give it a go.- Mr H.
0:32:17 > 0:32:19- Mr H?- Yeah.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21OK, we have Ralph and Mr H...
0:32:22 > 0:32:26Steve and David, Ralph is what you are saying, let's see if it's correct,
0:32:26 > 0:32:28if it is, let's see how many people said Ralph.
0:32:30 > 0:32:31Well, it is right...
0:32:38 > 0:32:4017. Ralph scores you 17.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45OK, Rachel and Ryan are going with Mr H.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48Could be a brilliant inspired guess, this.
0:32:48 > 0:32:52Mr H. Let's see if it is right and if it is, let's see how far it goes.
0:32:56 > 0:33:02Bad luck, Rachel and Ryan, that's an incorrect answer which means that after only two questions
0:33:02 > 0:33:06Steve and David are through to the final, 2-0. Richard.
0:33:06 > 0:33:10It sounded good, Mr H. Actually only two answers that would have beaten Ralph Malph.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13Let's take a look at all the answers here.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24Joanie loves Chachi was a big spin-off from it as well.
0:33:27 > 0:33:31Richie Cunningham who is Ron Howard, the film director.
0:33:32 > 0:33:35And Fonz at 97 which means that only one less person knows the Fonz
0:33:35 > 0:33:39was in Happy Days than knows you should ring 999 for the fire brigade.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41LAUGHTER
0:33:41 > 0:33:45- That's terrifying, isn't it? - I would like to see the crossover of the person who knows you
0:33:45 > 0:33:48should ring 999 but doesn't know that The Fonz was in Happy Days.
0:33:48 > 0:33:53So, the losing pair at the end of the head-to-head is Rachel and Ryan.
0:33:53 > 0:33:58Oh, dear, the 999 number, I thought coastguard was quite a clever one.
0:33:58 > 0:34:02I was thinking that would score nice and low. 77!
0:34:02 > 0:34:05- I didn't know you could ring them on 999.- Neither did I.
0:34:05 > 0:34:10I thought you had to ring directory enquiries and then ring the coastguard when you got the number.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12Dear, oh, dear. What have you learnt on this show?
0:34:12 > 0:34:16What are the tactics you'll be bringing back?
0:34:16 > 0:34:18- I don't know. - Get the questions right.
0:34:18 > 0:34:24You played brilliantly. We will see you next time when let's hope maybe you make it through to the final.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27Thanks so much for playing, great contestants.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29APPLAUSE
0:34:29 > 0:34:33But for Steve and David it's now time for our Pointless final and the chance to win £1,000.
0:34:35 > 0:34:38So, congratulations, Steve and Dave, you have seen off
0:34:38 > 0:34:42all the competition and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44DRUM ROLL
0:34:49 > 0:34:53However, you now have the chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:34:53 > 0:34:57At the end of today's show the jackpot stands at £1,000.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00AUDIENCE: Whoo!
0:35:00 > 0:35:03The rules are very simple. To win that money all you have to do is find a pointless answer,
0:35:03 > 0:35:05that no-one else could think of.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08Now we haven't had any pointless answers on the show today.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11You just need to find one now and you will go home with that money.
0:35:11 > 0:35:15First though you've got to choose a category from these three options.
0:35:15 > 0:35:16You can go for...
0:35:24 > 0:35:25What do you think?
0:35:27 > 0:35:29Chemistry is a big no-no for me.
0:35:29 > 0:35:32- Yeah, it's a big risk. - American sport.
0:35:32 > 0:35:38I know quite a bit about a couple of American sports but nothing about a few.
0:35:38 > 0:35:42International diplomacy, it's a bit of a wide subject.
0:35:42 > 0:35:47I'd be probably quite... Depending what it is, I'll be a bit more confident on that.
0:35:47 > 0:35:52We are in a difficult quandary because David's probably very strong on American sport
0:35:52 > 0:35:56and I'd be more comfortable with international diplomacy, I suspect.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58So, which one?
0:35:58 > 0:36:03- I'll leave it to you, mate.- Thanks.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06Shall we go international diplomacy because American sports...
0:36:06 > 0:36:11If it's American football I'd be OK, but it could be American tiddlywinks or something.
0:36:11 > 0:36:16- Take a chance on international diplomacy.- We'll plump for international diplomacy.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18International diplomacy.
0:36:18 > 0:36:23Very well done. OK, let's find out what the question is. What would you like it to be?
0:36:23 > 0:36:27Maybe...major international treaties, something like that.
0:36:27 > 0:36:33OK, so we gave 100 people 100 seconds to name...as many...
0:36:39 > 0:36:40Richard.
0:36:40 > 0:36:44We are looking for any head of state who's been on an official visit to the UK
0:36:44 > 0:36:48between January 1st, 2000 and May 2010.
0:36:48 > 0:36:52So, any head of state who has been on an official visit to the UK.
0:36:52 > 0:36:56OK, you now have up to one minute to come up with three answers
0:36:56 > 0:37:00all you need to win that £1,000 is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:37:00 > 0:37:03Your 60 seconds start now.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06Saudi Arabia has been, a couple of years ago.
0:37:06 > 0:37:10It is from January to May, this year.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12No, January, 2000. >
0:37:12 > 0:37:14- Sorry.- January, 2000.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17- Saudi Arabia.- King Khalid, then.
0:37:17 > 0:37:23- The obvious one is George Bush. He came... - It's got to be pointless, though.
0:37:23 > 0:37:28- Yeah.- Pakistan has.- Erm...
0:37:28 > 0:37:31- 2010.- Head of state, though. Who was the head of state?
0:37:31 > 0:37:34Do we need the name of the head of state or the country?
0:37:34 > 0:37:35The name of the head of state. >
0:37:35 > 0:37:39The name. Erm.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42Erm. Oh...
0:37:42 > 0:37:44I'm really struggling.
0:37:44 > 0:37:45Erm.
0:37:45 > 0:37:51Probably one of the Royals from Europe, Queen Beatrix, from the Netherlands. Surely...
0:37:51 > 0:37:53Ten seconds left. >
0:37:53 > 0:37:56They can pop over and see the Royal family, they must.
0:37:56 > 0:38:02One of the Royals from Europe must have been over, so we'll go with King Khalid and Queen Beatrix,
0:38:02 > 0:38:03and George Bush...
0:38:03 > 0:38:08OK, there's your time up. So, we were looking for 21st century visiting heads of state.
0:38:08 > 0:38:11I now need your three answers, what are you going to give me?
0:38:11 > 0:38:17The most obvious one, it will get one on the board, we might as well because we don't have another one.
0:38:17 > 0:38:19- Shall we go with that?- Yes.
0:38:19 > 0:38:20George Bush.
0:38:20 > 0:38:24George Bush. Second answer?
0:38:25 > 0:38:28King Khalid? We'll go with King Khalid, of Saudi Arabia.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30King Khalid of Saudi Arabia.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32And your third answer?
0:38:32 > 0:38:35Let's go with Queen Beatrix from the Netherlands.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38Queen Beatrix from the Netherlands.
0:38:38 > 0:38:42Now which of those do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:42 > 0:38:47- Saudi, probably.- OK, King Khalid, so I'll put him third.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50Which is your least likely prospect?
0:38:50 > 0:38:56- Mr Bush.- Mr Bush, OK, we'll put him up first. George Bush.
0:39:04 > 0:39:09There they are. We were looking for 21st century visiting heads of state.
0:39:09 > 0:39:14This was your least confident answer. You only need one to be pointless to win that jackpot.
0:39:14 > 0:39:18So, let's see how many people said George Bush.
0:39:27 > 0:39:28It's right.
0:39:29 > 0:39:35It's your first shot at that £1,000 jackpot. Has to go all the way down to zero, obviously.
0:39:37 > 0:39:39APPLAUSE
0:39:39 > 0:39:41I thought it would be more.
0:39:41 > 0:39:46Always quite useful to gauge what kind of 100 people we were dealing with.
0:39:46 > 0:39:5030 of them knew that George Bush made a state visit during that period.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53Obviously George Bush is not a pointless answer.
0:39:53 > 0:39:56So, you only have two more chances to win today's jackpot.
0:39:56 > 0:40:00David, are you slightly more at sea in this round?
0:40:00 > 0:40:06Steve certainly knows more on the subject than I do but I've got a very good current affairs...
0:40:06 > 0:40:12I watch the news all the time so you just naturally glean a lot of international information.
0:40:14 > 0:40:19OK, we were looking for visiting heads of state from the 21st century.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22Your second answer...Queen Beatrix.
0:40:22 > 0:40:26- Is that a shot in the dark?- Yeah. - Seems a likely European monarch.
0:40:26 > 0:40:31- I was thinking of European monarchs who are likely to visit on official state visits.- OK, I see.
0:40:31 > 0:40:38Let's see how your second answer Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands has done with our 100 people.
0:40:38 > 0:40:43Is it correct and if it is correct, is it pointless?
0:40:43 > 0:40:46Queen Beatrix.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53Bad luck, that is an incorrect answer.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56It was a bit of a wild stab in the dark, that one, wasn't it?
0:40:58 > 0:41:03It was either going to be pointless or the big red cross.
0:41:03 > 0:41:05Sadly, it was the big red cross.
0:41:05 > 0:41:08You only have one final chance to win today's jackpot.
0:41:08 > 0:41:10We are looking for 21st century visiting heads of state.
0:41:10 > 0:41:14You said this was the answer you were most confident with.
0:41:14 > 0:41:18This has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot of £1,000.
0:41:18 > 0:41:22It's King Khalid of Saudi Arabia.
0:41:22 > 0:41:27He's the only person standing between you and that jackpot of £1,000.
0:41:27 > 0:41:30Let's see if it's a correct answer and if it is correct,
0:41:30 > 0:41:34let's see where he ends up. King Khalid.
0:41:38 > 0:41:41Oh, no! Bad luck, bad luck.
0:41:41 > 0:41:45APPLAUSE
0:41:43 > 0:41:45You can only try your best.
0:41:45 > 0:41:49Unfortunately, you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer.
0:41:49 > 0:41:54So, I am afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £1,000 and that rolls over to the next show.
0:41:54 > 0:41:57You have been fantastic and you do get to take home our Pointless trophy.
0:41:57 > 0:42:00APPLAUSE
0:42:00 > 0:42:03So, Richard, what are the answers they should have gone for?
0:42:03 > 0:42:06Well, you were absolutely thinking on the right lines
0:42:06 > 0:42:09because the King of Saudi Arabia did visit in 2007
0:42:09 > 0:42:13but it was King Abdullah but that was a pointless answer.
0:42:13 > 0:42:15So, that would have won the money.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18Let's have a look at some of the pointless answers.
0:42:38 > 0:42:43And there's the Queen of Denmark, not Holland.
0:42:43 > 0:42:48Queen Beatrix, who you mentioned has not visited since 1982.
0:42:48 > 0:42:50Come back, come back, ma'am.
0:42:50 > 0:42:52You'll be very welcome.
0:42:57 > 0:43:04So, very, very tough luck. And King Khalid, he was once king of Saudi Arabia but died in 1982.
0:43:04 > 0:43:08And the last time he came to visit us was in 1981.
0:43:08 > 0:43:10OK, well, thanks very much, Richard.
0:43:10 > 0:43:15Unfortunately, we do have to say goodbye to you but it's been great having you on the show.
0:43:15 > 0:43:18APPLAUSE
0:43:18 > 0:43:22So, nobody's won our jackpot, so it rolls over which means on the next show
0:43:22 > 0:43:24we'll be playing for £2,000.
0:43:24 > 0:43:26AUDIENCE: Whoo!
0:43:26 > 0:43:31- Join us next time to see if someone can win it. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:31 > 0:43:34And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
0:43:35 > 0:43:38RICHARD: If you want to be on the next series of Pointless
