0:00:15 > 0:00:17CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:20 > 0:00:23Thank you. Hello.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26I'm Alexander Armstrong. Welcome to Pointless, the quiz show
0:00:26 > 0:00:30where high scores count for nothing, and obscurity counts for everything.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33- Let's meet today's players. - APPLAUSE
0:00:35 > 0:00:39First we welcome Louise and Chris. You are our first pair on the show.
0:00:39 > 0:00:44- How do you two know each other? - We've been together for five years.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47- We've got two children together. - You have two children together.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50- What ages are they? - We've got Lily who is seven,
0:00:50 > 0:00:52- and Frankie who's three. - Very good indeed.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56- What do you do, Chris? - Er, I work as a finance manager
0:00:56 > 0:00:59- for a company in Tamworth. - A company in... Where's Tamworth?
0:00:59 > 0:01:02- Just north of Birmingham. - Just north of Birmingham,
0:01:02 > 0:01:06famous for pigs. Why do I think that? Tamworth, pigs!
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Very best of luck to you, Louise and Chris.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13Laura and Glenda, welcome back. You were on the show last time.
0:01:13 > 0:01:18Everyone gets two shots to reach the final. This is your last chance. Remind us how you did.
0:01:18 > 0:01:22We did very well to come in third place, I think.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26- We were very lucky. - You did very well indeed.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29You just had some unfortunate choices of subject.
0:01:29 > 0:01:30Exactly, yeah.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34- What do you hope is going to come up today, Laura?- Um, film questions,
0:01:34 > 0:01:37- entertainment. More kind of... - Entertainment.- Yeah.
0:01:37 > 0:01:38Glenda?
0:01:38 > 0:01:42- Musicals, nature... - I was about to say musicals.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Everyone wants musicals - until it comes up.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49Very best of luck to both of you.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53- Kath and Stephen, welcome. Where have you come from?- Leigh.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55- Leigh, which is... - Near Manchester.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Near Manchester. Very good. What do you do, Stephen?
0:01:58 > 0:02:02- I'm a civil servant. - Which bit of the civil service?
0:02:02 > 0:02:05I'm in training. I'm a training officer.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08I see. You're in training, or you're IN training?
0:02:08 > 0:02:11- I am a training officer. - I see. How about you, Kath?
0:02:11 > 0:02:15I also work for the DWP, and I'm in customer services.
0:02:15 > 0:02:21Very good. Work and Pensions. I've just worked that out myself. No flies at all on me today.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Very good. Best of luck to the pair of you.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27Finally we welcome back Rachel and Ryan. You were also on the show last time.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30- Remind us how you did. - We got to the head-to-head,
0:02:30 > 0:02:34sadly got some questions we didn't do too well in.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36- Happy days!- Yes, exactly.
0:02:36 > 0:02:41Oh, dear. Let's hope you do equally well, maybe even better, this afternoon.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43We'll find out more about all of you later.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46There is one more person for me to introduce -
0:02:46 > 0:02:49the man behind all the facts and figures, my Pointless friend.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51- He's Richard.- Hiya.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57- Good afternoon to you. - Good afternoon to you.- How are you?
0:02:57 > 0:03:01- I couldn't be better.- Good. - What kind of a show have we got?
0:03:01 > 0:03:04We've got two returning pairs. We've got Rachel and Ryan,
0:03:04 > 0:03:07who were in the head-to-head, so they're very good.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10I think Laura and Glenda we didn't see the best of,
0:03:10 > 0:03:13but, Laura, there is a film question, question 2.
0:03:13 > 0:03:18Glenda, you're a primary school teacher. Question 1 should suit you.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22So maybe Laura and Glenda today might go a bit further than last time.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25So tough competition for our two new pairs, I think.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29OK. Very exciting. We've put all our questions to 100 people before the show.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33But this is Pointless, so we're after the obscure answers they didn't get.
0:03:33 > 0:03:38To stay in the game with a chance to win our jackpot, all our players need to do
0:03:38 > 0:03:40is score as few points as they possibly can.
0:03:40 > 0:03:45Everyone's trying to find a Pointless answer, one that none of our 100 people gave,
0:03:45 > 0:03:48and each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52Nobody won the jackpot last time, so we'll add another £1,000 to that.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56So today's jackpot starts off at £2,000.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00There we are. OK, let's play Pointless!
0:04:06 > 0:04:11In the first round, each of you must give me one answer, and you cannot confer with your partner.
0:04:11 > 0:04:16Whichever team has the highest score at the end of the round will be eliminated. Right!
0:04:16 > 0:04:20Our first category this afternoon is...home economics.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25Home economics. There we are. Can you decide on your pairs?
0:04:25 > 0:04:28Who will go first? Who will go second?
0:04:28 > 0:04:30- THEY WHISPER - Whoever's going first,
0:04:30 > 0:04:33please step up to the podium.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Let's find out what our first question is going to be.
0:04:39 > 0:04:44We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many cooking methods
0:04:44 > 0:04:47as they could. Cooking methods. Richard?
0:04:47 > 0:04:51The correct answers in this round, it says word-for-word here,
0:04:51 > 0:04:54"Any word used to describe a method of cooking."
0:04:54 > 0:04:59Glad we have you on hand. Louise and Chris, you all drew lots before the show.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Today you get to go first. What we'll do in this round,
0:05:02 > 0:05:06we'll give you a choice of seven possible answers on the board in each pass.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10OK. And the first set of seven answers reads like this.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23- I'll read those again. - HE READS LIST
0:05:27 > 0:05:31I can tell you that at least one of those is Pointless,
0:05:31 > 0:05:36and at least one of those is incorrect. Be very careful to avoid the incorrect one, or ones,
0:05:36 > 0:05:40because they will score you the maximum of 100 points. OK, Louise.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43- Yes.- Is this a good subject for you? A good area?
0:05:43 > 0:05:47Well, I actually had an answer in my head before they came up,
0:05:47 > 0:05:51- and it's come up on the board. - How... What about that, Richard?
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Hasn't everyone just kicked a goal?
0:05:54 > 0:05:58As always, the most obscure answer will score you the lower points,
0:05:58 > 0:06:04- and that's what you want. So you're going to go with your hunch?- Yes.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07The hunch you had even before you saw the board!
0:06:07 > 0:06:10- Louise, what's it going to be? - Broiling.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14Broiling. OK. There it is on the board, third one down.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18Let's see if that's correct, and how many people said broiling.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21It's right!
0:06:26 > 0:06:29- 14, Louise. Well done. - AUDIENCE APPLAUDS
0:06:29 > 0:06:32Not a bad score at all. Broiling, Richard.
0:06:32 > 0:06:37Broiling is cooking by direct heat over a flame, like barbecuing,
0:06:37 > 0:06:40and it's what the Americans call grilling as well.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42- Thank you very much, Richard. Laura? - Mm-hm?
0:06:42 > 0:06:46I think you might be pretty strong on this one as well.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Yeah. Cooking is one of my stronger subjects,
0:06:49 > 0:06:53and I think I know which one's the wrong answer, so I can steer clear of that one.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57- There is at least one Pointless answer.- I know. At least.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01At least one Pointless answer. Go on. Add 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04I think I'm going to go with...devilling.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08I believe you devil kidneys. I don't personally,
0:07:08 > 0:07:12- but it's possible to devil kidneys. - Devilling. OK. There we are.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16Let's see if devilling is a correct answer, and if it is, how many people said devilling.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Right!
0:07:27 > 0:07:28Look at that! Well done!
0:07:28 > 0:07:32That is a Pointless answer, and it adds £250 to today's jackpot,
0:07:32 > 0:07:37taking the total up to £2,250. And best of all, Laura,
0:07:37 > 0:07:40- it scores you nothing. - Brilliant.- Thank you!
0:07:40 > 0:07:44- My mouth's now watering. Devilled kidneys!- Devilled kidneys.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48Devilling is a way of grilling with hot condiments. You get devilled eggs as well.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52OK, so we are looking for cooking methods. Stephen...
0:07:53 > 0:07:56There could easily be another Pointless on that board.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00- Another Pointless. Do you watch cookery programmes?- Not really, no.
0:08:00 > 0:08:05Kath, does Stephen ever don an apron, get his pinny on and cook?
0:08:05 > 0:08:08Not very often, no. I keep him out of the kitchen.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11- Is that a blessing? - Probably, yes.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15- So, Stephen, this might as well be in Chinese for you?- Absolutely, yes.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18- Right. OK. - I'll go pretty safe with...
0:08:18 > 0:08:21Is it steaming, the second from the bottom?
0:08:21 > 0:08:25Steaming indeed is second from the bottom.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28Let's see if steaming is a correct answer,
0:08:28 > 0:08:31- or let's see if it is steaming. - LAUGHTER
0:08:35 > 0:08:37It's right.
0:08:38 > 0:08:4045.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42APPLAUSE
0:08:42 > 0:08:45Not too bad a score for a guess, Stephen.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49- Steaming?- Cooking food that's been placed above hot water.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Anything that is steamed will not be tasty.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54- Have you ever seen, on a menu... - Oh, my friend!
0:08:54 > 0:08:57- ..when it's a steamed something? - Oh, how wrong!
0:08:57 > 0:09:01- Oh, here we go. - Steamed... Steamed dumplings!
0:09:01 > 0:09:05- Oh, OK!- Steamed dumplings in Chinese restaurants, dim sum.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09Asparagus steamed, very nice. But the butter's the exciting bit.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12- Well, quite. - I begin to see what you're saying.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15OK. We are looking for methods of cooking.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Rachel, I think you're going to tidy up here,
0:09:17 > 0:09:21literally. You are the last person to have this board.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24But I think you might be able to truffle out a very low score,
0:09:24 > 0:09:27and possibly even a Pointless answer.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29I know microwaving and frying are options,
0:09:29 > 0:09:32but primping I've never heard of,
0:09:32 > 0:09:37but I have heard of blanching foods, so I'm going to go for blanching.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Do you know what blanching is?
0:09:39 > 0:09:42No. I think it's something to do with fish, I think,
0:09:42 > 0:09:45or taking the flavour out of something. I don't know.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48I've heard of it somewhere in the world.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51- Taking the flavour out of a fish. - THEY LAUGH
0:09:51 > 0:09:54It's what all good cooks learn to do on the second day.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57It's for people who don't like fish. "I'll have a blanched cod."
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Who like eating fish, but without the taste. Blanching.
0:10:00 > 0:10:05Let's see if that's a correct answer, and if it is, how many people said it.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Blanching.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14This could go quite a long way down, I think, Rachel. Look at that.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18And it does! A very good answer indeed.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21- APPLAUSE - Blanching scores you 4 points.
0:10:21 > 0:10:25- Richard?- It comes from "blanche", the French. It means "to whiten",
0:10:25 > 0:10:29like whitening almonds by taking off the skin, usually in hot water.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32Blanching. Let's take a look at the rest of them.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36Frying is a way of cooking - would have scored you a hefty 80 points.
0:10:36 > 0:10:41Microwaving again, counts as cooking. That would have given you 21,
0:10:41 > 0:10:45so, by a process of elimination, primping is an incorrect answer,
0:10:45 > 0:10:48so would have scored 100 points.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51- What is primping, Richard? - To tidy or smarten up
0:10:51 > 0:10:55in a slightly affected manner, like in Primp My Ride, that TV programme.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58- THEY LAUGH - We're halfway through the round,
0:10:58 > 0:11:01so let's take a look at the scores as they stand.
0:11:02 > 0:11:07Wow! Well, Laura and Glenda - what a fantastic answer from you, Laura.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10- Devilling! - My dad will be proud.
0:11:10 > 0:11:15He will be. Very good. Kath and Stephen, 45!
0:11:15 > 0:11:1945! Normally not such a bad score, but you are way out in front.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22- I blame Jamie Oliver. - THEY LAUGH
0:11:22 > 0:11:26Everyone seems to know about cooking methods - apart from Stephen.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Louise and Chris, 14. That's not a bad score.
0:11:28 > 0:11:33And Rachel and Ryan, fantastic score from Rachel with her blanching,
0:11:33 > 0:11:36scoring just 4. We're going to come back down the line.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:11:42 > 0:11:44We'll put seven more answers on the board.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47We're looking for cooking methods. Here is our second list.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56- I'll read those one more time. - HE READS LIST
0:12:00 > 0:12:04Again I can tell you that at least one of those answers is Pointless,
0:12:04 > 0:12:09and at least one is incorrect, so be very careful to avoid those incorrect ones.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12Right, now, Ryan. Rachel did so well with blanching.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15Please don't let her down. OK, Ryan, you're on 4.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18You need to score 40 or less with this answer.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22I've heard of a few of those. I've definitely had a sauteed potato,
0:12:22 > 0:12:24so I'm going to go for sauteing.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28OK. You are going to go with sauteing.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32There is your red line. Let's see if you can get below that red line.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36If it's correct, and it's below that red line, you are "sauteed".
0:12:36 > 0:12:39THEY LAUGH
0:12:39 > 0:12:41OK. Let's see if that's right.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44It's right!
0:12:46 > 0:12:50And you're through to the next round. 22, that scores you.
0:12:50 > 0:12:55- Takes your total up to 26. Richard. - Yes, sauteing. Well done.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59Safely through to the next round. It's cooking in a small amount of oil
0:12:59 > 0:13:02- or other liquid, occasionally. - It's basically...
0:13:03 > 0:13:06- ..posh frying, isn't it? - Yeah. That's exactly what it is.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09Very good indeed. Kath, you are on 45,
0:13:09 > 0:13:13thanks to Stephen's fantastic understanding of the skills of the kitchen.
0:13:14 > 0:13:19You have a bit of a job to do here. You have to score as low as you possibly, possibly can.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22There is a Pointless answer on that board. Maybe there are two.
0:13:22 > 0:13:27- Do you think you can spot it? - Um, I'll do my best.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29I've...got an idea.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31What's it going to be, then, Kath?
0:13:31 > 0:13:36It's something that I've heard, and I'm hoping it's a cooking method,
0:13:36 > 0:13:39- and that's fricasseeing. - Fricasseeing?- Yeah.
0:13:39 > 0:13:44OK. We are looking for methods of cooking, and you are saying fricasseeing.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47You are the high scorers, so there's no red line for you.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50You just have to hope it scores as low as it possibly can.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54Let's see if it's right, and if it is, how many people said fricasseeing.
0:13:59 > 0:14:03Well done, Kath. It's going down. Look at that! Well done!
0:14:03 > 0:14:08Fricasseeing is a Pointless answer, and it adds £250 to today's jackpot,
0:14:08 > 0:14:12taking the total up to £2,500. And it scores you nothing,
0:14:12 > 0:14:16giving you a total of 45 points.
0:14:16 > 0:14:21Well done. Another Pointless answer. Fricasseeing is chopping meat into pieces and cooking it
0:14:21 > 0:14:24in a gravy, essentially. It's one of those things everyone's heard of
0:14:24 > 0:14:28because they're always fricasseeing stuff on MasterChef.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31- They always do.- They do, don't they? Now then, Glenda.
0:14:31 > 0:14:35Do you think you can defend Laura's Pointless score
0:14:35 > 0:14:38with another Pointless? You'll have to find one.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41- I'm sure you'll find another. - Fricasseeing was my answer,
0:14:41 > 0:14:45which would have been quite impressive if you hadn't said it.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48- THEY LAUGH - So I'm going to go for coddling,
0:14:48 > 0:14:51- because you coddle eggs, I'm sure. - You're going to go for...
0:14:51 > 0:14:55You coddle eggs and mollies. Let's see if that's a correct answer.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58Here is your red line. If you come below that red line,
0:14:58 > 0:15:01you are through to the next round.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05You want to score 44 or less with that answer. There's your red line.
0:15:05 > 0:15:10Let's see if coddling will get you below it. If it's correct, let's see how many people said it.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18Well done, Glenda.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Oh, very good indeed!
0:15:22 > 0:15:26Coddling scores you 2, giving you a grand total of 2. Richard?
0:15:26 > 0:15:29Very good. Coddled eggs is the most famous version.
0:15:29 > 0:15:33That is to cook just below boiling point.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36Very good, Glenda. Brilliant, brilliant answer.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38Now, then, Chris - this has left you...
0:15:38 > 0:15:41- well, in a pickle! - LAUGHTER
0:15:41 > 0:15:43There you are. You're on 14. Louise scored 14.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46You have to score 30 or less with your answer.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49A lot of good answers have gone from that board. However,
0:15:49 > 0:15:52you can take me through the rest. Talk me through them.
0:15:52 > 0:15:57OK. Um, well, actually, fricasseeing was one that I had heard of.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01- I'm not very good in the kitchen. - Is that true, Louise?
0:16:01 > 0:16:03- Yeah. - LAUGHTER
0:16:03 > 0:16:06- Pretty much.- Yeah. So we are looking for cooking methods.
0:16:06 > 0:16:12I'm just going to take a stab, try and get the least amount of points as possible.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16- Let's go for toasting.- I think that's probably the right approach.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18Let's see if it gets you below that red line.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21You have to score 30 or less with toasting.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25Let's see if it's a correct answer, and if it is, how many people said toasting.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35Oh, well done, Chris!
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Toasting scores you 11.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42I raise my glass to you.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44That gives you a total of 25.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48Well done. It's just browning food by exposing it to a direct heat -
0:16:48 > 0:16:51er, bread, for example... you can toast.
0:16:51 > 0:16:57If you're at home now, a couple of pieces of bread, toasted up...
0:16:57 > 0:17:01You say that like it's easy. How would you go about doing this?
0:17:01 > 0:17:03- LAUGHTER - You got your bread...
0:17:03 > 0:17:07- I'm thinking in a sliced format. - First you slice your bread.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11- Yeah.- You can get it pre-sliced now. - Get out of here!
0:17:11 > 0:17:13A marvellous... LAUGHTER
0:17:13 > 0:17:16It is a marvellous new invention.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20Let's take a look at the rest of the board. No surprises here.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23I often ask you to go through the rest of the board and guess things,
0:17:23 > 0:17:27- but, um...- Don't do it now. I would be at sea.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31Er, boiling is, of course, a method of cooking.
0:17:31 > 0:17:3586 people mentioned that when asked to mention different ways of cooking.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39Baking, obviously, as well. Would have scored you 57,
0:17:39 > 0:17:42and the incorrect answer there was peaching.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45Peaching. You cannot peach anything. Don't try.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48- LAUGHTER - Thanks very much, Richard.
0:17:48 > 0:17:53At the end of round one, the losing pair with the highest score - I'm afraid it's Kath and Stephen.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56- Oh, dear, oh, dear! You scored a Pointless as well!- I did!
0:17:56 > 0:18:00It just wasn't enough to make up for Stephen's terrible answer.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03- LAUGHTER - His terrible kitchen skills.
0:18:03 > 0:18:07Oh, dear! Steaming! Steamed cabbage for Stephen for supper tonight.
0:18:07 > 0:18:11But you will be coming back next time, that I promise you.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14- Thank you.- Who will be watching this show at home?
0:18:14 > 0:18:18Um, our children. We've got three. They'll be watching, we hope.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22- Do they know about cookery? - Probably less than Stephen.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24- No shame. - There's no shame there at all.
0:18:24 > 0:18:29I'm sure you'll be with us longer next time, but thanks for playing. Great contestants.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for round two.
0:18:39 > 0:18:44It's now time to find out which two teams will be going through to the head-to-head
0:18:44 > 0:18:48for the chance to reach the Pointless final. The category for round two is...
0:18:49 > 0:18:53..film. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:18:53 > 0:18:56- who's going to go second? - Yeah. Yeah!
0:18:56 > 0:18:59And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06OK. And the question for round two concerns...
0:19:09 > 0:19:12Biopics and their subjects.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14In this round, we're about to show you a list of films.
0:19:14 > 0:19:19We gave 100 people 100 seconds to tell us the person the film was centred on.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23- OK, Richard.- Yeah. We're going to give you six in each pass,
0:19:23 > 0:19:28and the obscurer ones, and there are a few, will score you fewer points.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31If you give us an incorrect answer, you'll score 100 points.
0:19:31 > 0:19:36- See if you can get all six at home. - OK. Here is your first six.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49Let me read that again.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51HE READS LIST
0:19:58 > 0:20:01OK. So we are looking for biopics and their subjects.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04Now, then, Chris.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08- How good is your film knowledge? - Film knowledge wasn't too bad.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11- You thought. - Till this came up.- Till now.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13HE LAUGHS EVILLY
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Going to go with...
0:20:15 > 0:20:18Raging Bull, Rocky Marciano.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22- Raging Bull, Rocky Marciano. - I believe.
0:20:22 > 0:20:27Let's see if that's right and how many people knew that answer.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31- Oh! - AUDIENCE GROANS
0:20:31 > 0:20:35Bad luck, Chris. Unfortunately that is an incorrect answer,
0:20:35 > 0:20:38which means that you score the maximum of 100 points.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41Yeah. Unlucky, Chris. I won't say who that is about,
0:20:41 > 0:20:44in case Laura or Ryan want to answer that question.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47OK. Now, then, Laura.
0:20:47 > 0:20:51Films. It's the subject everybody says they'd like to come up.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54It's not so much my knowledge as my husband's.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58- He's very into film.- So how... Are you channelling him at the moment?
0:21:00 > 0:21:03So should I get it wrong, there will be trouble. There's two up there
0:21:03 > 0:21:07I think are relatively obscure.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10- I'm going to go for La Vie En Rose...- Mm-hm?
0:21:11 > 0:21:14..which I believe is about Edith Piaf.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18Edith Piaf. La Vie En Rose, you are saying. Let's see if that's right,
0:21:18 > 0:21:21and if it is, how many people knew that answer.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25It's right!
0:21:28 > 0:21:33Down it goes! 15, Laura. Well done. La Vie En Rose scores you 15.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37- Richard?- Yeah. Well done, Laura. Your instincts pay off.
0:21:37 > 0:21:41It's all about Edith Piaf, played by Marion Cotillard, who won an Oscar for it.
0:21:41 > 0:21:46- Best actress. - Very good. Now, then, Ryan - film.
0:21:46 > 0:21:51Biopics and their subjects. This is like a gift for you, isn't it?
0:21:51 > 0:21:55- It should be, but...- It should be? - I haven't seen many of those films.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59I've seen Raging Bull, but I can't remember who that was about.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02I think I'll go with Ray,
0:22:02 > 0:22:05which I believe is about the musician Ray Charles.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09You believe it's about Ray Charles? Let's see if it IS about him.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Ray.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14Yep, it is.
0:22:17 > 0:22:1929.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Ray scores you 29.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26- Now, then, Richard. - Yeah. Well done, Ryan. Ray Charles.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29They weren't going to make a film about Ray Reardon, were they?
0:22:29 > 0:22:34Although they should think about it. They should. Played by Jamie Foxx,
0:22:34 > 0:22:36who also won a best-actor Oscar for his portrayal.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39- He played all the piano himself. - It's brilliant.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42- Yeah. - And sounded pretty like Ray.
0:22:42 > 0:22:47But also the prosthetics he wore that took him... 14 hours a day.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50- He was blind while he was doing it, because of the prosthetics.- Wow!
0:22:50 > 0:22:54Let's take a look at the rest of this. Raging Bull is a boxing film,
0:22:54 > 0:22:58but it's... Robert de Niro plays Jake LaMotta in Raging Bull,
0:22:58 > 0:23:01from 1980. Would have scored you 8 points.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05Would have been a very good answer. What's Love Got To Do With It?
0:23:05 > 0:23:08- Tina Turner.- Exactly, or Tina and Ike Turner, we'd have accepted.
0:23:08 > 0:23:1245 points. That is a big score. Born On The Fourth Of July?
0:23:12 > 0:23:16- Ron Kovic.- The Vietnam vet, played by Tom Cruise, of course.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19That would have only scored you 1 point, so very good.
0:23:19 > 0:23:24- De-Lovely is a Pointless answer. Would have made £250. Who's that about?- Cole Porter.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27It is, played by Kevin Kline. Very well done, if you got that.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31OK. Well, it's time to take a look at the scores, as we're halfway through the round.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35Well, there is our scoreboard. Louise and Chris, I'm afraid,
0:23:35 > 0:23:38way out in front there. Oh, Rocky Marciano,
0:23:38 > 0:23:41- why weren't you in that film? - LAUGHTER
0:23:41 > 0:23:45Laura and Glenda, by contrast, looking fantastic there.
0:23:45 > 0:23:4815! What a wonderful answer that was.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51Glenda, keep that up, you should be through to the head-to-head.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55Rachel and Ryan likewise. 29. Not a bad answer from Ryan.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58Rachel, keep that up, and you should be through.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00But, Louise, you've got a mountain to climb.
0:24:00 > 0:24:05Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:24:08 > 0:24:11OK. We're going to put six more biopics on the board.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14And we have got...
0:24:27 > 0:24:33We are looking for the people these films are about, and the one the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36Now, then, Rachel. Oh, my goodness. Something's just alerted you.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40- No.- What happened there? - I thought one might have come to me,
0:24:40 > 0:24:44and then I was, like, "It's a different film", which isn't the best.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48OK, what is this list of six looking like to you, Rachel?
0:24:48 > 0:24:52Absolutely appalling. This is awful! Um...
0:24:52 > 0:24:55- I'm going to have to go for the most obvious one on the board...- Mm-hm.
0:24:55 > 0:25:00..and go for Evita, because it's about...Evita!
0:25:00 > 0:25:05The lady who ruled that place that Madonna played. I can't remember her name!
0:25:05 > 0:25:10Madonna played a place? I know her acting talents are phenomenal...
0:25:10 > 0:25:14- LAUGHTER - Oh, it's Argentina. Got that. Um...
0:25:14 > 0:25:16- In the role of Argentina... - No! No, no.- ..Madonna.
0:25:16 > 0:25:20Oh, what's her name? It's obviously Evita. Do I need a surname?
0:25:20 > 0:25:23We need the name of the lady she played.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25SHE GROANS
0:25:25 > 0:25:29I'm going to have to say, like, Queen Evita, because I don't know.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31Queen Evita? You are saying Queen Evita.
0:25:31 > 0:25:35- Ryan... - He's looking appalled right now.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38Do you know, he's not - to your eternal credit, Ryan.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41You are looking stoical.
0:25:41 > 0:25:42SHE GROANS
0:25:42 > 0:25:46Little bit resigned. But you're going to go with Queen Evita.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50You're on 29. You wanted to score 70 or less with Evita.
0:25:50 > 0:25:54Yeah. I'm not going to do that, because I think it's wrong.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58There's your red line. If you come below it, you're through to the head-to-head.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01It's not the end of the world if this is wrong.
0:26:01 > 0:26:05There may be more wrong answers to come. Let's see if Queen Evita is correct,
0:26:05 > 0:26:07and if it is, how many people said it.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10- AUDIENCE GROANS - Bad luck, Rachel.
0:26:10 > 0:26:15That is an incorrect answer, so you do score the maximum of 100 points,
0:26:15 > 0:26:18- and your total goes up to 129. - Er, yes. Sorry about that.
0:26:18 > 0:26:23I won't say what the answer is, in case any of the others want to have a go.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25Queen Evita is a type of crispbread, I'm afraid.
0:26:25 > 0:26:29- AUDIENCE LAUGHS - Glenda, you are on 15.
0:26:29 > 0:26:33I'm going to tell you right now the news that is music to your ears.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36- Not really, but - - You cannot lose.- Oh!
0:26:36 > 0:26:40You cannot lose. It doesn't matter. Even if you score 100 points,
0:26:40 > 0:26:43- you are through to the next round. - Brilliant.- So listen -
0:26:43 > 0:26:47- why not have a bit of fun?- You don't know my knowledge of films.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51I... Something about your...your expression.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Well, the last list, I hadn't a clue.
0:26:53 > 0:26:57This one - I have seen Evita, I have sung Evita,
0:26:57 > 0:26:59but the name will not come to me.
0:26:59 > 0:27:05Great Balls Of Fire I am hoping was Jerry Lee Lewis.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08Sounds reasonable to me. Jerry Lee Lewis, you are saying -
0:27:08 > 0:27:13Great Balls Of Fire. Let's see if that's right and how much it scores.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15It's right!
0:27:18 > 0:27:21Down it goes, Glenda. 26!
0:27:21 > 0:27:24Not a bad answer at all. 26 for Jerry Lee Lewis.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27That takes your total to 41. Richard?
0:27:27 > 0:27:30Well played, Glenda. Safely through to the next round.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33Dennis Quaid played Jerry Lee Lewis, a 1989 film.
0:27:33 > 0:27:38Very good indeed. Now, then, Louise - the moment of truth.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42It's a little mini head-to-head here between Rachel and Ryan
0:27:42 > 0:27:46and Louise and Chris. If you can score 28 or less with this answer, Louise,
0:27:46 > 0:27:50you are through to the head-to-head and we say goodbye to Rachel and Ryan.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53- OK.- What's that board looking like? Talk me through it.
0:27:53 > 0:27:57I know one completely, but I think it'll be a really high answer.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59Another one I can't...
0:27:59 > 0:28:03Oh, I think, I think, I think it's right. But...
0:28:03 > 0:28:06I'm not going to take the easy option.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09- You can't. You can't afford to. - No. I can't afford to.
0:28:09 > 0:28:15So I am going to say...The Aviator is about...Howard Hughes.
0:28:15 > 0:28:19The Aviator, Howard Hughes. OK, there's your red line.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23If you can get below it, with The Aviator being about Howard Hughes,
0:28:23 > 0:28:26you are through to the head-to-head. Let's see if it will do it for you.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29The Aviator, Howard Hughes...
0:28:30 > 0:28:33..is right!
0:28:35 > 0:28:38- It's done it. - APPLAUSE
0:28:38 > 0:28:40Well done.
0:28:40 > 0:28:44That scores you 14, giving you a total of 114. Richard?
0:28:44 > 0:28:46Yeah. Well done. Really worth taking the risk.
0:28:46 > 0:28:50Leonardo DiCaprio plays Howard Hughes, nominated for an Oscar.
0:28:50 > 0:28:53- What was the obvious one you were going to go for?- Eva Peron,
0:28:53 > 0:28:56- otherwise Queen Evita. - Yeah. Eva Peron,
0:28:56 > 0:29:02AKA Queen Evita, is absolutely, um... That would've got you 39 points, though. You would've gone out,
0:29:02 > 0:29:05so it was the right thing to do to take the risk.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07Let's take a look at the other ones there.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10- W. Do you know who that's about? - George Bush.- Yes. Dubya.
0:29:10 > 0:29:14You can also call him George Bush. Oliver Stone's movie. Bird?
0:29:14 > 0:29:18- Charlie "Yardbird" Parker. - Charlie Parker, the jazz musician.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21Would have scored you five points. I'm Not There is a Pointless answer.
0:29:21 > 0:29:25- Do you know who -- Bob Dylan. - It is Bob Dylan, played by -
0:29:25 > 0:29:27- Four.- Six. - Six people?- Six different people,
0:29:27 > 0:29:30one of whom is Cate Blanchett, if you can imagine that.
0:29:30 > 0:29:34Thanks. At the end of round two, the losing pair with the highest score...
0:29:34 > 0:29:38Oh, Rachel and Ryan! This wasn't meant to happen.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41- You were meant to go through to the final!- I know.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44- That was the plan. - Never mind.- It's films!
0:29:44 > 0:29:48- Everybody says they want films! - Not today.
0:29:48 > 0:29:52- Did any of those other ones - - I'm Not There is the one that jumped out at me,
0:29:52 > 0:29:55and I was, like, "I know that film." I've never seen it,
0:29:55 > 0:29:59but I remember when it was being filmed, the whole hype
0:29:59 > 0:30:02about it being six people, but I couldn't remember who it was about.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05Well, never mind. It's been great having you on the show.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08Thanks very much for playing. Thank you.
0:30:10 > 0:30:16For the remaining two pairs, things will get even more exciting, as we enter the head-to-head.
0:30:19 > 0:30:23We've already said goodbye to two teams. Which of our remaining pairs
0:30:23 > 0:30:28will be playing for today's jackpot, which currently stands at £2,500?
0:30:28 > 0:30:30AUDIENCE APPLAUDS
0:30:30 > 0:30:33OK. So, Laura, Glenda, Louise and Chris,
0:30:33 > 0:30:36you are going head-to-head on the best of three questions.
0:30:36 > 0:30:40You are now allowed to confer. All you have to do is score,
0:30:40 > 0:30:44with each answer, less than the other pair to win that question.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47The first pair to win two questions will go through to the final
0:30:47 > 0:30:50to play for the jackpot. OK, let's play Pointless.
0:30:53 > 0:30:57Right. Here's your first question. We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:30:57 > 0:31:01to name as many leaders of Germany as they could.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04Leaders of Germany, Richard.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07We're looking for any post-war chancellor of West Germany or Germany.
0:31:07 > 0:31:11Post-Second World War. And that's up to May 2010,
0:31:11 > 0:31:15- and we would accept just surnames. - OK. Thanks, Richard.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18Laura and Glenda, because you've played best so far,
0:31:18 > 0:31:19you get to go first.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21We are looking for leaders of Germany.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25- I only know one. - Who?- Helmut Kohl.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27- GLENDA WHISPERS - Germany?
0:31:27 > 0:31:33- Yeah. And Angela Merkel. - I'll go for Angela Merkel or Kohl.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35OK. Laura and Glenda, what are you going to say?
0:31:35 > 0:31:39- We've decided to go for Helmut Kohl. - Helmut Kohl.
0:31:39 > 0:31:43OK, Louise and Chris. You can talk out loud if you need to.
0:31:43 > 0:31:46- I'll do it.- I don't know any.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49- Um...- So it's just down to you, then, Chris.
0:31:49 > 0:31:53The... The only one I know, other than...
0:31:53 > 0:31:58- Chancellor Kohl, is Angela Merkel. - OK. Angela...
0:31:58 > 0:32:02- HE SAYS NAME WITH A HARD "G" - ..or An-GEH-La, as they pronounce it.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05OK. Helmut Kohl first. Let's see if it's correct, and if it is,
0:32:05 > 0:32:08how many people said Chancellor Helmut Kohl.
0:32:17 > 0:32:22Brilliant answer! Only 10 points for Laura and Glenda.
0:32:22 > 0:32:27Louise and Chris have gone with Angela Merkel. Let's see if that's right, and if it is,
0:32:27 > 0:32:30let's see how many people said Angela Merkel.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39Low! Oh, 15.
0:32:39 > 0:32:41APPLAUSE
0:32:41 > 0:32:46So on the first question, Laura and Glenda are ahead one-nil. Richard?
0:32:46 > 0:32:49Yeah. The top two answers, actually, but let's look at all of them.
0:32:49 > 0:32:52Let's see how many of these you got at home.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55Erhard and Kiesinger, who were both chancellors
0:32:55 > 0:32:57in the '60s, were both Pointless answers,
0:32:57 > 0:33:02so well done if you got either. Gerhard Schroeder, who was chancellor before Angela Merkel,
0:33:02 > 0:33:05would have scored you 1. Konrad Adenauer,
0:33:05 > 0:33:08who was the first post-war German chancellor...
0:33:08 > 0:33:11Let's look at the other answers. He would have scored you 3.
0:33:11 > 0:33:15Helmut Schmidt, the world's most German name, would have scored you 3.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18Willy Brandt would have scored you 6.
0:33:18 > 0:33:21Helmut Kohl, who was chancellor from '82 all the way to '98,
0:33:21 > 0:33:24including reunification, all of that, 10 points,
0:33:24 > 0:33:27and Angela Merkel, the current chancellor, on 15.
0:33:27 > 0:33:30OK. Here is your second question.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33Louise and Chris, you have to win this point to stay in the game.
0:33:33 > 0:33:35We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:33:35 > 0:33:40to name as many ballroom dances as they could.
0:33:40 > 0:33:45Louise and Chris, you get to answer first this time. Richard?
0:33:45 > 0:33:50We are looking for any of the standard or Latin dances accepted in competitive ballroom dancing
0:33:50 > 0:33:54by the World Dance Council as of April 2010.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57OK, now. Louise and Chris, you get to go first this time.
0:33:57 > 0:33:59HE WHISPERS
0:33:59 > 0:34:02- Um, salsa...- No. Too obvious.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04- Foxtrot?- Too obvious!- OK.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07- Do you reckon?- Yeah. Go on.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09- Yeah.- OK. We have an answer?
0:34:09 > 0:34:13Yes. I can think of a few, but, um,
0:34:13 > 0:34:16- hopefully it'll come under this category. Merengue.- OK.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18Merengue.
0:34:18 > 0:34:22- Laura and Glenda? - Yeah, you can say that. Yeah.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25We'll go for Viennese waltz.
0:34:25 > 0:34:29Viennese waltz. OK, so we have merengue and Viennese waltz.
0:34:29 > 0:34:33Let's see if merengue's right, and how many people said it. Merengue.
0:34:35 > 0:34:38- AUDIENCE GROANS - Huh?
0:34:39 > 0:34:43Apparently merengue is wrong, Louise and Chris.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45- What?- I... I...
0:34:48 > 0:34:51Viennese waltz, say Laura and Glenda.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54Let's see how many people said Viennese waltz,
0:34:54 > 0:34:57and if it's correct, it's all it has to be. If it is,
0:34:57 > 0:35:00you are through to the final.
0:35:03 > 0:35:06It's right!
0:35:10 > 0:35:12Wow! 6!
0:35:14 > 0:35:16Very, very low score indeed.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19So, after two questions only,
0:35:19 > 0:35:22Laura and Glenda are straight through to the final. Two-nil.
0:35:22 > 0:35:27- Richard?- The merengue is a dance, but our friends at the World Dance Council...
0:35:27 > 0:35:30It's not a competitive ballroom dance in that category.
0:35:30 > 0:35:35Viennese waltz is a good answer, the second-best you could have given. One was better,
0:35:35 > 0:35:37and that's the jive, with 5 points.
0:35:37 > 0:35:41Viennese waltz was 6, paso doble 10, rumba 18, cha-cha-cha 20.
0:35:43 > 0:35:48Foxtrot 22, samba 22, quickstep 22,
0:35:48 > 0:35:52the waltz on 32 and tango on 43.
0:35:52 > 0:35:55So very, very well played with Viennese Waltz.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57OK. Well, thank you very much.
0:35:57 > 0:36:01So the losing pair at the end of the head-to-head is Louise and Chris.
0:36:01 > 0:36:05Oh, dear! Angela Merkel and the merengue.
0:36:05 > 0:36:08The merengue... Is it a good dance, the merengue?
0:36:08 > 0:36:12It was in the film Dirty Dancing. I though it was quite obscure,
0:36:12 > 0:36:15- but it might be... - No, it's very obscure.
0:36:15 > 0:36:19- It was a brilliant answer. - Too wild to be included.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21- That's probably why. - THEY LAUGH
0:36:21 > 0:36:24Well, you're going to be back on the show next time.
0:36:24 > 0:36:27You've come all this way. You've done incredibly well.
0:36:27 > 0:36:31Thank you for playing. You've been wonderful contestants, Louise and Chris.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36But for Laura and Glenda, it's now time for our final,
0:36:36 > 0:36:39and the chance to win £2,500.
0:36:42 > 0:36:46Congratulations! You've seen off all the competition,
0:36:46 > 0:36:48and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:48 > 0:36:50APPLAUSE
0:36:55 > 0:36:59Now, though, you have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:36:59 > 0:37:04At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands £2,500.
0:37:06 > 0:37:10The rules are very simple. To win, all you have to do is find a Pointless answer,
0:37:10 > 0:37:12an answer that none of our 100 people could think of.
0:37:12 > 0:37:18We've had two Pointless answers today. You just have to find one more, and you'll win that money.
0:37:18 > 0:37:22First choose a category from these three options, and you can go for...
0:37:34 > 0:37:37- What do you think?- There's one we can rule out straightaway.
0:37:37 > 0:37:40- American sport. - Which would be American sport.
0:37:40 > 0:37:43- Chemistry...- Elements?- Possibly.
0:37:43 > 0:37:47- Could do elements. - Classic British soul... Who's that?
0:37:47 > 0:37:50- It's actually me. - LAUGHTER
0:37:50 > 0:37:53I can only think of one person, and I can't remember her name.
0:37:53 > 0:37:57I don't know which to say. I don't like any of those.
0:37:57 > 0:38:01- I think...- You choose. - I would have a guess at chemistry.
0:38:01 > 0:38:05British soul - if it's names, and you don't know the names,
0:38:05 > 0:38:08- you won't know anything. In chemistry...- Chemistry.- Chemistry.
0:38:08 > 0:38:11Chemistry it is. Let's find out what the question is.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:38:13 > 0:38:19to name as many six-letter chemical elements as they could.
0:38:19 > 0:38:21Six-letter elements. Richard.
0:38:21 > 0:38:26We're looking for any elements on the periodic table whose name contains six letters,
0:38:26 > 0:38:28in British spelling, not American English.
0:38:28 > 0:38:32Any element whose name contains six letters. Very best of luck.
0:38:32 > 0:38:36OK. You now have up to a minute to come up with three answers,
0:38:36 > 0:38:40and all you need to win that £2,500 is for just one to be Pointless.
0:38:40 > 0:38:44- Your 60 seconds start now. - Helium is one.- Yeah.
0:38:44 > 0:38:46- Is there one called... - K, R, Y, B, T...
0:38:46 > 0:38:50Xan... There's one that begins with X, Xan...
0:38:50 > 0:38:52- Don't know. Er...- Potassium.
0:38:52 > 0:38:56- Er, mercury's seven. - Sulphur.- No, spelled wrong.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59I'd think oxygen, but that's an...er, a compound.
0:38:59 > 0:39:01- Nitrogen? No. - Six?
0:39:01 > 0:39:04- LAURA LAUGHS - Um...
0:39:04 > 0:39:09There's one beginning with Z and one beginning with X.
0:39:10 > 0:39:11- Xenon. Xenon! - Oh, it's five.
0:39:11 > 0:39:1330 gone.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16- Oh, no!- Well, we've got one. Um...
0:39:16 > 0:39:18It might be right.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20Sulphur...
0:39:20 > 0:39:22Carbon. C-A-R-B-O-N. Carbon.
0:39:22 > 0:39:26OK. Think of an inert gas besides helium.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28Argon,
0:39:28 > 0:39:30xenon,
0:39:30 > 0:39:31- er... - SHE MUTTERS
0:39:31 > 0:39:35OK, come on. There must be some more. Carbon dioxide...
0:39:35 > 0:39:38Hydrogen... That's too many.
0:39:38 > 0:39:39Carbon...
0:39:39 > 0:39:41Zinc, lead...
0:39:42 > 0:39:45OK. That is your minute up, I'm sorry to say.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48Right. We were looking for six-letter chemical elements.
0:39:48 > 0:39:52- Now I need your three answers. What are they?- We have two.
0:39:52 > 0:39:54- We have two, yes.- So what were they?
0:39:54 > 0:39:57- Carbon...- And helium.- And helium.
0:39:57 > 0:40:02- Sulphur. I know it's seven, but... - Carbon, helium and sulphur. OK.
0:40:03 > 0:40:06Which of those is probably your best bet?
0:40:06 > 0:40:09- None of them.- Helium. I think carbon's very common.
0:40:09 > 0:40:13- We'll put helium last, sulphur first, carbon in the middle.- OK.
0:40:13 > 0:40:15OK. Let's put them up on the board in that order.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17Sulphur...
0:40:19 > 0:40:21Sulphur, carbon...
0:40:21 > 0:40:23Helium.
0:40:23 > 0:40:27OK. We are looking for six-letter chemical elements.
0:40:27 > 0:40:31Your first answer, sulphur - we'll get that over and done with quickly.
0:40:31 > 0:40:35Let's see if anyone said sulphur, and if it's a correct answer.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40- Oh!- Bad luck. - AUDIENCE GROANS
0:40:40 > 0:40:42Not a Pointless answer. OK, we're now in business.
0:40:42 > 0:40:46- Did you like chemistry at school? - I had a rhyme, when I did GCSEs,
0:40:46 > 0:40:50for remembering all the elements and the order that they came in.
0:40:50 > 0:40:52What was that rhyme, Laura?
0:40:52 > 0:40:56It was something like nam, gam, zips, galah, h-heli, bev, cnophne.
0:40:56 > 0:41:00But then you had to know what all the letters stood for, which is where I failed today.
0:41:00 > 0:41:04I'm not sure I didn't buy the single of that.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06I think I did.
0:41:06 > 0:41:10Right. OK. Your second answer was carbon.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13Let's put it to the test. Carbon.
0:41:17 > 0:41:21Well, it's going down. We're in the 60s. We're in the 50s!
0:41:21 > 0:41:24Carbon, down to the 40s. Has to go down to zero.
0:41:24 > 0:41:28Into the 20s! Teens! Look at that!
0:41:28 > 0:41:30- Better than I thought.- 16! - APPLAUSE
0:41:31 > 0:41:35See, you now have a sort of insight into the 100 people
0:41:35 > 0:41:39who we had in our survey. Only 16 of them said carbon.
0:41:39 > 0:41:42- OK.- Looking pretty good for helium, isn't it?
0:41:42 > 0:41:46- That's not too bad.- So, then - £2,500. How would you spend it?
0:41:46 > 0:41:50I'd like to be able to pay for a holiday for next year for my family.
0:41:50 > 0:41:54OK. You said this was the answer you had most faith in to be Pointless.
0:41:54 > 0:41:57This is your last shot at the jackpot. It is helium.
0:41:57 > 0:42:03This has to be Pointless for you to win. Let's see if it's correct, and how many people said helium.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09So, 16 people remember carbon.
0:42:09 > 0:42:13Helium, much lesser known. Down it goes. Into the 40s.
0:42:13 > 0:42:17Has to go all the way down to the 30s, the 20s. If it gets to zero...
0:42:17 > 0:42:18Oh, no!
0:42:18 > 0:42:21APPLAUSE
0:42:22 > 0:42:27- Oh!- Unfortunately you didn't find that vital Pointless answer,
0:42:27 > 0:42:31so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £2,500,
0:42:31 > 0:42:35which will roll over to the next show, but you do take home our Pointless trophy.
0:42:35 > 0:42:38- Don't forget that. - CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:42:41 > 0:42:44- So, Richard?- Yeah. Three quite tricky categories up there,
0:42:44 > 0:42:49and there are five Pointless answers. These would have all won you the money. Let's look at them.
0:42:49 > 0:42:52Cerium, curium,
0:42:52 > 0:42:54erbium...
0:42:55 > 0:43:00..and indium and osmium. Well done if you got any of those five at home.
0:43:00 > 0:43:03Unfortunately we do have to say goodbye to you.
0:43:03 > 0:43:06- You've been great. Thank you so much for playing.- Thank you.
0:43:09 > 0:43:12Nobody's won our jackpot today, so it rolls over.
0:43:12 > 0:43:16On our next show we'll be playing for £3,500.
0:43:16 > 0:43:18- APPLAUSE - Join us next time.
0:43:18 > 0:43:22- See if someone can win it. It's goodbye from Richard...- Goodbye.
0:43:22 > 0:43:24..and it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
