0:00:20 > 0:00:23APPLAUSE
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Thank you. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:27 > 0:00:33the quiz show where success is bred from obscurity. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:36 > 0:00:42Now, welcome. Liz and Becky, you are our first pair on the show today. How do you know each other?
0:00:42 > 0:00:44- We're sisters.- Where are you from?
0:00:44 > 0:00:49- We're from Preston in Lancashire. - What do you do, Liz?
0:00:49 > 0:00:54- I'm a medical sales rep.- And Becky? - Online marketing specialist.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58- A specialist!- Specialist, yes. I added that bit myself.
0:00:58 > 0:01:04- THEY LAUGH - There are people from work watching thinking, "She's not a specialist.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07"If she's a specialist, I'm a specialist."
0:01:07 > 0:01:12I hope you do especially well on the show this afternoon. Great to have you here.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16Then we welcome back Louise and Chris who were on the show last time.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20Everyone gets two shots at the Pointless final. This is your second and final chance.
0:01:20 > 0:01:26- Louise, tell us how you did. - We were confident all the way until we were, you know, kicked off.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30- In the head to head.- Yes.- What was the dance you thought they did?
0:01:30 > 0:01:34- Merengue. - Merengue. I can hardly even say it.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38- You want to get onto the dance council.- I am.- Best of luck.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42Then we welcome Lesley and Angela. How do you two know each other?
0:01:42 > 0:01:45We're best friends. We've been best friends for 40 years.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49That's the best of best friends. How did you meet?
0:01:49 > 0:01:53We met at work. First day at work.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57First day at work! How lovely. Very best of luck this afternoon.
0:01:57 > 0:02:03And finally, we welcome back Kath and Stephen. You were also on the show last time. How did you do?
0:02:03 > 0:02:07- Kath did well, got a pointless answer. - You don't need to tell me that.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11- She got a pointless answer. - I'm sure I don't need to remind you what I did.
0:02:11 > 0:02:15Oh, dear. Well, it was round one. Yes.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19There's no ignominy leaving the show in round one.
0:02:19 > 0:02:24Round ones are notoriously hard. You either know the subject or you don't. And you didn't.
0:02:24 > 0:02:29But this time round, I feel sure you're going to be with us much longer. I hope so.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Best of luck. We'll find out more about all of you later.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35There's just one more person for me to introduce.
0:02:35 > 0:02:42- He's a man who's an artisan of obscurities. He is my Pointless friend. He's Richard.- Hello.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50An artisan of obscurity. What does that mean, you don't tuck your shirt in
0:02:50 > 0:02:53and work late at night and drink heavily
0:02:53 > 0:02:55and tinker away on your obscurity?
0:02:55 > 0:02:59Of those things you said, I do drink heavily. I will admit to that.
0:02:59 > 0:03:06We've got two returning pairs today. Louise and Chris did very well last time, got to the head to head,
0:03:06 > 0:03:11they're a force to be reckoned with. But I think Stephen has something to prove. Kath is brilliant.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15Stephen, I think, fears that if last time were all he were remembered for,
0:03:15 > 0:03:20we wouldn't remember him too well. I think he's going to storm through the show and go all the way.
0:03:20 > 0:03:28So a tough show for our new pairs. Lots of TV and films and sports, which is what people say they want.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30- Lots of those today.- OK.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33We put all our questions to 100 people before the show.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37But this is Pointless, so we're after the obscure answers that they didn't get.
0:03:37 > 0:03:42To stay in the game with a chance to win our jackpot, players need to score as few points as they can.
0:03:42 > 0:03:48What everyone's trying to do is find a pointless answer, an answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51Every time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55Nobody won the jackpot last time, so we will add another £1,000 to that.
0:03:55 > 0:04:00So today's jackpot starts off at £3,500.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04- APPLAUSE - Enormous sum of money. Right, let's play Pointless.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13In the first round, each of you must
0:04:13 > 0:04:16give me one answer and you cannot confer with your partner.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Whichever team has the highest score
0:04:18 > 0:04:20at the end of the round will be eliminated.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23OK, our category for the first round is...
0:04:26 > 0:04:31Cartoon characters. Can you decide in your pairs who will go first
0:04:31 > 0:04:34and whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name
0:04:41 > 0:04:47as many characters in The Jungle Book as they could.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51- Richard.- All the correct answers here are named characters
0:04:51 > 0:04:55credited in the 1967 Disney movie The Jungle Book.
0:04:55 > 0:05:00Liz and Becky, you all drew lots before the show and today you get to go first.
0:05:00 > 0:05:06So in this round, we're going to give you a choice of seven possible answers on the board in each pass.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09The first set of seven answers reads like this.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33And I can tell you that at least one of those answers is pointless
0:05:33 > 0:05:37but there is also at least one incorrect answer on that board.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41If you pick an incorrect answer, you will score the maximum of 100 points.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45- OK. Liz.- OK, I'm going to be brave
0:05:45 > 0:05:49and I'm going to go for Gunga Din.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53Let's see if Gunga Din is right and if it is, how many people said it.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Bad luck, Liz.
0:05:59 > 0:06:04I'm afraid Gunga Din is an incorrect answer, which means you score the maximum of 100 points. Richard.
0:06:04 > 0:06:10Yeah, sorry about that. Gunga Din is a Kipling character, but from the poem Gunga Din.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Ah, well. Louise.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17- Yes.- Louise, do you know The Jungle Book?- I do.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21- I know the main characters.- Yes.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25So I am going to guess
0:06:25 > 0:06:31hopefully the pointless one is Shenzi.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35Shenzi. Tell me who Shenzi is in the film.
0:06:35 > 0:06:40He's, erm... A...
0:06:40 > 0:06:42- Er... - THEY LAUGH
0:06:42 > 0:06:46- Is it a guess?- Yes.- It is a guess.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50OK, well, let's see if Shenzi is a correct answer, and if it is, how many people said it.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Fingers crossed.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Ooh, bad luck.
0:07:02 > 0:07:07That is an incorrect answer, Louise. I'm afraid that scores you 100 points.
0:07:07 > 0:07:12But you're in good company. Just think how much worse it would be if it was just one of you
0:07:12 > 0:07:15way out in front. There are two of you.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19Two incorrect answers in two goes.
0:07:19 > 0:07:25I know, what a start. Shenzi is the hyena from The Lion King,
0:07:25 > 0:07:28voiced by Whoopi Goldberg. That's Shenzi.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Lesley. You know The Jungle Book, don't you?
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Never read the book, never saw the film.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38However, I don't think you can put a foot wrong. That's my opinion.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41There could be another incorrect answer, but it'd be very harsh.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44There most certainly is a pointless answer in there.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48Find that one and we will add 250 quid to the jackpot and you will score nothing.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53Well, I'm going to go for Dizzy.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58- A bit like me. - Dizzy. Not remotely dizzy, Lesley.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Let's see if Dizzy is a correct answer, and if it is, how many people said it.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06It's right!
0:08:06 > 0:08:09- Come on, come on, come on, come on. - Down it goes.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13Way down! Right down to pointless!
0:08:13 > 0:08:17- APPLAUSE - That is a pointless answer.
0:08:17 > 0:08:24And it adds £250 to our jackpot, taking the total to £3,750.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29And best of all, Lesley, it scores you nothing.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32- Richard.- Yeah, very well done. Do you know who Dizzy was?- No.
0:08:32 > 0:08:37I'm afraid we can't give you zero points, then. Sorry. THEY LAUGH
0:08:37 > 0:08:42It's one of the vultures. They were written to be voiced by the Beatles.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45- Mm. And then the Beatles couldn't do it.- Correct.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48- Or just didn't fancy it. - I think they didn't fancy it.
0:08:48 > 0:08:53And four people did some really, really poor Liverpudlian accents.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57I was one of them. That's, er... That's awkward.
0:08:57 > 0:09:03Oh, that is awkward. OK, we are looking for characters in The Jungle Book.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Kath, top that. If you can.
0:09:06 > 0:09:11Erm, Shere Khan is the tiger.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Mm.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16King Louie is the ape that sings.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22- Mowgli is the young boy.- Mm-hm.
0:09:22 > 0:09:27But for my answer, I'm thinking about the elephant singing,
0:09:27 > 0:09:29so I'm going to go for Colonel Hathi.
0:09:29 > 0:09:34Brilliant, Kath. Colonel Hathi. Let's see if that is right. I have a hunch it might be.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37If it is, let's see how many people said it. Colonel Hathi.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41It's right.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48This could be a low scorer. Four! Well done!
0:09:48 > 0:09:52That's a great answer. Colonel Hathi, Richard.
0:09:52 > 0:09:58Yeah, well played, Kath. Two very happy pairs at the end of the row. Hathi is Hindi for elephant.
0:09:58 > 0:10:04- So it's Colonel Elephant.- Anyway... - Let's go through the rest of the board.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08Shere Khan, as Kath rightly says, is the tiger.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11Would've scored a fairly hefty 41 points.
0:10:11 > 0:10:17Mowgli, he's called Mowgli in the film, would've scored you 70 points.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21Highest score on the board. "Moe-gli" in the film, "Mow-gli" in the stories
0:10:21 > 0:10:23and Kipling's daughter never forgave Walt Disney.
0:10:23 > 0:10:29- For calling him "Moe-gli"? - Yes. And King Louie, of course, was the orang-utan.
0:10:29 > 0:10:35He also wasn't in the original stories because they're not native to India. Would've scored you five.
0:10:35 > 0:10:39We're halfway through the round, so let's take a look at the scores as they stand.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43Two of them, biggest scores you can possibly have.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47Liz and Becky, Louise and Chris.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50Lesley and Angela, lovely pointless answer.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53Kath and Stephen, four. Lovely low score.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56As I say, Becky and Chris each have a mountain to climb.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:11:02 > 0:11:07OK, seven more answers on the board. We are looking for characters in The Jungle Book. We have got...
0:11:24 > 0:11:30Again, I can tell you that at least one of those answers in pointless and at least one is incorrect.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Try and avoid those incorrect ones.
0:11:32 > 0:11:38Stephen, how well did Kath do? Four points!
0:11:38 > 0:11:43- Well, I'm going to play very safe. - Yeah. Don't play too safe. You're on four.
0:11:43 > 0:11:49If you score 95 or less, you are through to the head to head.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52So Stephen, add 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:11:52 > 0:11:57- No. I'm going safe. I'll go for Baloo.- Baloo. OK.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59We know Baloo. Here's your red line.
0:11:59 > 0:12:04Quite high up. If Baloo gets you below there, you are through to the next round.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Correct.
0:12:12 > 0:12:1667. Takes your total up to 71.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19- Richard.- Baloo, of course, sang Bare Necessities
0:12:19 > 0:12:23and baloo means bear in Hindi. A theme developing there.
0:12:23 > 0:12:28OK, now Angela, we are looking for characters in The Jungle Book.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31You are on nothing. If you can score 99 or less with this answer,
0:12:31 > 0:12:36you are through to the head to head no bother. Lesley managed to find a pointless answer.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39- Yes.- Do you know The Jungle Book anything like as well as Lesley?
0:12:39 > 0:12:44- I know The Jungle Book, yes. - Then we would like a double pointless, please.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48I think, because Lesley went for Dizzy, which was one of the vultures,
0:12:48 > 0:12:50I'm going to go for Buzzie.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54There's your red line. Doesn't have to travel very far.
0:12:54 > 0:12:59But maybe it might go all the way down if it's right. Let's see if it does. Is Buzzie a correct answer?
0:13:03 > 0:13:06It's right!
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Very, very good answer, Angela.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11I think this will be going all the way down.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Yes, it is!
0:13:14 > 0:13:17Fantastic! Buzzie is a pointless answer.
0:13:17 > 0:13:22It adds £250 to the jackpot, taking the total now up to £4,000.
0:13:22 > 0:13:28- And it scores you nothing, giving you a grand total of nothing. Richard, Buzzie.- Very well played.
0:13:28 > 0:13:33And impeccable logic, because it is one of the other vultures. Buzzie and Dizzy.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36- Also the name of one of my rabbits, Buzzie.- Is it?- Yep.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40- What sort of rabbit is it? - It's like a white and grey one.
0:13:40 > 0:13:45- Big long floppy ears?- It's got medium floppy ears. It's not pedigree, like a rabbit you'd have.
0:13:45 > 0:13:50- LAUGHTER - It's just a normal rabbit. It's not a show rabbit.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52HE LAUGHS
0:13:52 > 0:13:57- Not one of your fancy show rabbits. - I don't have a show rabbit! - You do!- I wouldn't!
0:13:57 > 0:14:02- You would have posher rabbits than me is all I'm saying.- Well...
0:14:02 > 0:14:06All right, yes, I would. You're quite right.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Very good. Now, Chris.
0:14:09 > 0:14:17Louise scored an impressive 100 points. You are joint high-scorers at this point.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19You have to score as low as you possibly can.
0:14:19 > 0:14:25Angela has found a pointless answer. There might easily be another one. What do you think, Chris?
0:14:25 > 0:14:31I have no idea about The Jungle Book. I'm going to go, total guess, Kalinga.
0:14:31 > 0:14:36Kalinga. Third name down. Kalinga.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40Let's see if that's a correct answer. Louise isn't entirely sure.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44But she doesn't know anything. We've seen what she said.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48OK, is Kalinga a correct answer, and if it is, how many people said it?
0:14:51 > 0:14:54Ooh!
0:14:54 > 0:15:00Sadly, Kalinga is an incorrect answer, Chris. Scores you 100 points, taking your total up to 200.
0:15:00 > 0:15:04Yeah, sorry, Chris, Kalinga is an area of India.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08Now then, Becky, we are looking for characters in The Jungle Book.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12You are currently on 100. You have to score 99 or less.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15- Brilliant.- There might still be an incorrect answer on the board.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18Equally, there might still be a pointless answer.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21I've never seen the film or read the book at all.
0:15:21 > 0:15:25- Oh, dear. - But my Nan was called Winifred,
0:15:25 > 0:15:30and it seems quite a random word,
0:15:30 > 0:15:33so I don't know whether that would be in the film or not.
0:15:33 > 0:15:41It's quite random. So I think I will go for... Bagheera.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44Bagheera. There's your red line. Right up at the top there.
0:15:44 > 0:15:50If Bagheera gets you below that red line, you are through to the next round. Let's see if it's right.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54It is right!
0:15:55 > 0:15:58It is right and down it goes.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02Wonderful. Look at that. Great low score. Well done.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05Scores you 15, takes your total up to 115.
0:16:05 > 0:16:10- Bagheera.- Yeah, well played, Becky. Bagheera the panther, who finds the boy cub Mowgli.
0:16:10 > 0:16:14And Bagheera in Hindi, of course, means panther.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17Yeah, absolutely. Let's take a look at the rest of the board.
0:16:17 > 0:16:23Akela is the leader of the wolf pack. Would've scored you nine points.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25- You know what akela means in Hindi? - Wolf.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28No, it means solitary.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32Oh, thanks. Just when we're getting into it, they change it.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36Kaa, the snake, up the top there, would've scored you six points.
0:16:36 > 0:16:42- Do you think Winifred is a pointless answer or an incorrect answer? - I think it's pointless.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Despite the fact we might have named it after Becky's grandmother?
0:16:45 > 0:16:48I have a feeling it's Colonel Hathi's wife.
0:16:48 > 0:16:53Colonel Hathi's wife, exactly right. It was a pointless answer. Well done if you got that at home.
0:16:53 > 0:16:58Thanks. At the end of round one, the losing pair with the highest score is Louise and Chris.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02Oh. What's good about that, though, is you each gave a really terrible answer.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06So there's not one of you who can point the finger at the other.
0:17:06 > 0:17:12- No.- Or perhaps you'll both point the finger at the other and just argue all the way home.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15No, that's not right. You've been wonderful contestants.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19Sorry to say goodbye to you so soon. But thank you.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22APPLAUSE
0:17:22 > 0:17:24For the remaining pairs, it's time for round two.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34Time to find out which two teams will be going through to the head to head
0:17:34 > 0:17:39for the chance to reach the Pointless final. The category for round two is...
0:17:41 > 0:17:44You're not kidding, are you? Film and TV.
0:17:44 > 0:17:49TV locations. Can you decide in your pairs who'll go first?
0:17:51 > 0:17:53Whoever's first, step up to the podium.
0:17:58 > 0:18:02Right, and the question concerns...
0:18:06 > 0:18:10In this round, we'll show you some fictional locations in television programmes.
0:18:10 > 0:18:16We gave 100 people 100 seconds to tell us which shows they feature in. Richard.
0:18:16 > 0:18:21We're going to give you six fictional locations. The more obscure ones will score fewer points.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24Give us an incorrect answer, you score 100 points.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26See if you can get all six of them at home.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28OK, your first six are...
0:18:47 > 0:18:49OK, now, Becky.
0:18:50 > 0:18:56We are looking for the TV shows that these places feature in.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01- How good are you at television? Do you watch a lot of television? - I don't, no.
0:19:01 > 0:19:06- But I do know one for sure and I'm going to go with the one I know.- OK.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08Well, I think I know,
0:19:08 > 0:19:11which is Flintstones, Bedrock.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15OK, Flintstones, Bedrock you are saying. Let's see if that is correct,
0:19:15 > 0:19:17and if it is, how many people knew that answer.
0:19:19 > 0:19:20It's right.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25- 67. - APPLAUSE
0:19:25 > 0:19:2867 that scores you. Richard.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32Yeah, it's a big score. Flintstones, the prehistoric city of Bedrock.
0:19:32 > 0:19:37- Now then, Angela, is this to your taste, this round?- Yes.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41- Another strong round.- Well...
0:19:41 > 0:19:45I'm trying to make some sort of SuBo type name out of your...
0:19:45 > 0:19:49- LesAn. Sounds like lasagne.- Lasagne?
0:19:49 > 0:19:54- Yeah. The lasagne. We can call you Lasagne.- If you like.
0:19:54 > 0:19:58- Obligingly, you're wearing the right sort of colours, as well. - THEY LAUGH
0:19:58 > 0:20:02So then, Angela, on behalf of Team Lasagne,
0:20:02 > 0:20:05- what are we going to have from you? - Hm.
0:20:06 > 0:20:10I think I'm going to go for Craggy Island.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14- Which is of course from... - Father Ted, I think. - Father Ted you think. Right.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17Craggy Island, Father Ted. Let's see if it's right.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21It is.
0:20:24 > 0:20:30Very good answer. Well done, Angela. That scores you 31.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34- Richard. - Yeah, another surprisingly high score for Craggy Island, I think.
0:20:34 > 0:20:39There's some dispute between two of the three Aran Islands off County Galway
0:20:39 > 0:20:41- as to which one is Craggy Island. - There we are.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44Well done, Angela, a very good score. Kath.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46What's it going to be?
0:20:46 > 0:20:50Erm, I think I'm going to go for Walmington-On-Sea.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52- Which is from?- Dad's Army.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Dad's Army, Walmington-On-Sea.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people knew that.
0:21:05 > 0:21:0825!
0:21:08 > 0:21:12A fabulous low score there, Kath. 25 for Dad's Army.
0:21:12 > 0:21:18- Yeah, wonderful show and a very good score. Filmed in Thetford. - In Norfolk?- Yeah.- Seriously?
0:21:18 > 0:21:24Yeah. And they unveiled a big statue of Captain Mainwaring in Thetford recently.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Let's take a look at the other answers.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Royston Vasey, do you know that?
0:21:29 > 0:21:32- The League Of Gentlemen.- Yes. It's Roy Chubby Brown's real name.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34Would've scored you 19 points.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38Letherbridge is from Doctors. That would've scored you 11 points.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42- And New New York, do you know that? - I don't know that one.
0:21:42 > 0:21:47- It's from Futurama.- Ah. - That would've scored you five points, best answer on the board.
0:21:47 > 0:21:52- Well done if you got that. - OK, we're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at the scores.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57- Ah, Liz and Becky.- Oh. - 67. You can redeem it, Liz.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00You can redeem that high score.
0:22:00 > 0:22:0425, fabulous low score from Kath. Stephen, hasn't she done brilliantly?
0:22:04 > 0:22:09You have to keep scoring low, as well, to make sure you get through to the head to head.
0:22:09 > 0:22:14Angela and Lesley, Lasagne, fabulous score there on 31.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17Keep that up, Lesley, and I'm sure you will be in the head to head.
0:22:17 > 0:22:22But anything can happen in the next pass. Can the second players take their places at the podium?
0:22:25 > 0:22:30OK, we're going to put six more fictional locations from television programmes on the board
0:22:30 > 0:22:33and here is your second six.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Remember, we're looking for the TV shows that these places appear in.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55You're trying to find the one that fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:22:55 > 0:22:59- Stephen is really panicking. Do you know any of those?- No.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02A single one?
0:23:04 > 0:23:07You're on 25. You're on the lowest score.
0:23:07 > 0:23:12If you can score 41 or less with this, you're through to the head to head.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15- I'll go for Walford.- Mm-hm.
0:23:15 > 0:23:20Which I think is EastEnders.
0:23:20 > 0:23:25It's a little-known programme. Not many people, I don't think many people would know it,
0:23:25 > 0:23:29- called EastEnders. Am I saying that right?- EastEnders.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31East. It comes from East End.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34Oh, I see. EastEnders. Yeah, that makes sense.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38OK, here is your red line. If you get below it with EastEnders,
0:23:38 > 0:23:43you are definitely in the next round. It's not the end of the world if you're above it,
0:23:43 > 0:23:47because the remaining pairs have yet to answer, but below the red line...
0:23:47 > 0:23:50Right, Walford, EastEnders. How many people said it?
0:23:54 > 0:23:57- 79. - APPLAUSE
0:23:57 > 0:24:00It's not bad. That's 21 better than 100.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03That takes your total up to 104. Richard.
0:24:03 > 0:24:08You had a nice look of surprise on your face cos it was right, which was sweet.
0:24:08 > 0:24:13Yeah, Walford. It's set in the fictional postcode of E20 in the East End of London.
0:24:13 > 0:24:17OK, thanks. Lesley.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20Angela did fantastically well with Craggy Island.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24You are on 31. If you can score 72 or less with this answer,
0:24:24 > 0:24:28- you are in the head to head. What's it going to be?- Well...
0:24:28 > 0:24:34I don't know a lot of them. I'm hoping Summer Bay
0:24:34 > 0:24:37- is Home And Away.- Summer Bay, you are saying Home And Away.
0:24:37 > 0:24:42If it is right and it gets you below that red line, you are in the head to head.
0:24:42 > 0:24:46Summer Bay, Home And Away. Is it correct, how many people said it?
0:24:47 > 0:24:49It's right.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51Ooh!
0:24:51 > 0:24:5550 people knew that. That takes your total up to 81.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58You are through to the head to head. Richard.
0:24:58 > 0:25:04Yeah, Summer Bay, very good, safely through. Filmed in the Palm Beach suburb of North Sydney.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06Now then, Liz, you are on 67.
0:25:06 > 0:25:13If you can score 36 or less, you are through to the head to head.
0:25:13 > 0:25:18- Do you think you can do that?- If the one that I think I know is right,
0:25:18 > 0:25:21then I think it's probably quite obscure.
0:25:21 > 0:25:25So it's going to be Greendale and I think it's Postman Pat.
0:25:25 > 0:25:30Greendale, Postman Pat. Becky, that was pride, that look there.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33THEY LAUGH
0:25:33 > 0:25:36- I think that was pride. - THEY LAUGH
0:25:36 > 0:25:39We'll see. There's your red line.
0:25:39 > 0:25:44If you get below that, Greendale, Postman Pat will see you through to the head to head.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47Let's see if it's right and how many people said Greendale, Postman Pat.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53It's right.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57Oh, dear, Stephen and Kath. Oh, dear.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01Very, very good answer, Liz.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04That scores you 19 and gives you a total of 86. Richard.
0:26:04 > 0:26:09Well done. He does do his rounds in Greendale, which is supposed to be in the Lake District.
0:26:09 > 0:26:14Let's take a look at the rest of the answers, the top three that people seem to be having trouble with.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17Do you know Cabot Cove? Very, very dangerous place to be.
0:26:17 > 0:26:23- No.- Murder, She Wrote. It's Jessica Fletcher's hometown, supposedly on the coast of Maine.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26Would've scored you 15 points.
0:26:26 > 0:26:31- Sunnydale is Buffy The Vampire Slayer.- Ah.
0:26:31 > 0:26:35- And Lanford?- Roseanne. - It is Roseanne and would've only scored you one point.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38- Well done if you got Lanford. - Thanks, Richard.
0:26:38 > 0:26:42At the end of round two, the losing pair with the highest score, Kath and Stephen.
0:26:42 > 0:26:47- We're just not giving you the right categories, are we?- No, you're not.
0:26:47 > 0:26:53Well, I'm really sorry that we have to say goodbye to you. I had high hopes of you making it to the final.
0:26:53 > 0:26:57You've let me down. No two ways about it.
0:26:57 > 0:27:02- You've been fantastic contestants. Thank you for playing. - APPLAUSE
0:27:02 > 0:27:06For the remaining pairs, things get more exciting in the head to head.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14We've already said goodbye to two teams. It's now time to find out
0:27:14 > 0:27:21which of our remaining pairs will be playing for today's jackpot, which stands at an impressive £4,000.
0:27:21 > 0:27:25APPLAUSE
0:27:25 > 0:27:27OK, Team Lasagne, Liz and Becky,
0:27:27 > 0:27:33you are now going head to head on up to three questions. You can now confer.
0:27:33 > 0:27:38Just come up with an answer that scores less than the opposing pair and you win that question.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40The first team to win two questions
0:27:40 > 0:27:45will be going through to the final and playing for the jackpot. OK, let's play Pointless.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52Right, here is your first question.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name
0:27:55 > 0:28:01as many Papal names as they could. Papal names, Richard.
0:28:01 > 0:28:07We're looking for any name that has been used by a serving Pope between 1900 and 2010.
0:28:07 > 0:28:12Just looking for the name, not the number, so if there's more than one, it just counts once.
0:28:12 > 0:28:17OK, thank you. Well, Lesley and Angela, because you've played best throughout the show,
0:28:17 > 0:28:21you get to go first. So, Papal names.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26- OK.- OK?- Yes.
0:28:26 > 0:28:31- You've got a name. What is it? - We've got a name and we think Pius.
0:28:31 > 0:28:36Pius. OK. Liz and Becky,
0:28:36 > 0:28:39OK, so, I only know
0:28:39 > 0:28:42John Paul and Benedict.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45- So I think Benedict.- Yeah.
0:28:45 > 0:28:49- Benedict.- We have Pius, we have Benedict. OK. Pius first.
0:28:49 > 0:28:53Does that have a Papal ring to it? Pius.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58It is correct.
0:29:02 > 0:29:0417.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07APPLAUSE
0:29:07 > 0:29:12Very good answer. Liz and Becky are going with Benedict.
0:29:12 > 0:29:16Let's see if that's correct, and if it is, how many people knew Benedict.
0:29:24 > 0:29:28- 36. - APPLAUSE
0:29:28 > 0:29:33So, after the first question, Lesley and Angela are up 1-0.
0:29:33 > 0:29:38- Richard.- Yeah, Pius was a great answer. Three twentieth century Popes, Pius X, XI and XII.
0:29:38 > 0:29:42There were six names in all and one name that would've beaten Pius.
0:29:42 > 0:29:45Very well done at home if you got Leo.
0:29:45 > 0:29:49Leo XIII was Pope from 1878 to 1903, so just qualified.
0:29:49 > 0:29:55Pius with 17, Benedict with 36. The current Pope, Joseph Ratzinger, takes the name Benedict.
0:29:55 > 0:30:00Paul was 38, John with 41 and John Paul with 50.
0:30:00 > 0:30:04OK, so, after the first question, Team Lasagne are up 1-0.
0:30:04 > 0:30:10Here is your second question. Liz and Becky, if you want to stay in the game, you have to win this.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13- OK.- If Team Lasagne win,
0:30:13 > 0:30:16they are through to that big-money jackpot final.
0:30:16 > 0:30:20OK, second question. We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name
0:30:20 > 0:30:25as many of the Ocean's Eleven actors as they could.
0:30:25 > 0:30:29- Ocean's Eleven actors. Richard. - We're looking for any actor who was part of the 11
0:30:29 > 0:30:32in the 2001 film Ocean's Eleven.
0:30:32 > 0:30:36OK, Liz and Becky, you get to go first this time.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48OK. Now we need an answer.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52LAUGHTER
0:30:52 > 0:30:54Right, do we have an answer?
0:30:54 > 0:30:57- Liz and Becky. - Matt Damon.- Matt Damon.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59Said very quickly after much deliberation.
0:30:59 > 0:31:03Having never mentioned him once during conferring!
0:31:03 > 0:31:07But when you said it, it just came to me. Good one.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10OK, now, Lesley and Angela. Matt Damon has been said.
0:31:10 > 0:31:15We're going to go for George Clooney to play safe.
0:31:15 > 0:31:20OK. I'm just wondering about the concept of playing safe at this stage.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23- But... - THEY LAUGH
0:31:23 > 0:31:28OK, we have Matt Damon, we have George Clooney. Liz and Becky went for Matt Damon.
0:31:28 > 0:31:31Let's see how many people said Matt Damon.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37Yep, it's right.
0:31:40 > 0:31:44- 27 people said Matt Damon. - APPLAUSE
0:31:44 > 0:31:47Lesley and Angela have gone with George Clooney.
0:31:47 > 0:31:51Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56It's right. 81.
0:31:56 > 0:31:5881.
0:31:58 > 0:32:03So, after the second question, it is one apiece. Richard.
0:32:03 > 0:32:08Obviously, there's 11 answers. A couple of very big ones. But there's a few pointless answers.
0:32:08 > 0:32:13Let's take a look. Shaobo Qin, who plays Yen, would've been a pointless answer.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16Eddie Jemison, who plays Livingston, would've been a pointless answer.
0:32:16 > 0:32:21The wonderful Carl Reiner, who plays Saul Bloom, all of those are pointless.
0:32:21 > 0:32:27Scott Caan and Casey Affleck play car-loving brothers, two and five.
0:32:27 > 0:32:35- Don Cheadle with...- I tell you what, we were being rude about those vultures' Liverpudlian accents.
0:32:35 > 0:32:38- I know.- Don Cheadle's cockney!
0:32:38 > 0:32:42They got away with two crimes in that film, didn't they?
0:32:42 > 0:32:47Don Cheadle would've scored you six. HE IMITATES COCKNEY ACCENT
0:32:48 > 0:32:52Bernie Mac also scored six. Elliott Gould with nine.
0:32:52 > 0:32:58Matt Damon with 27. And way out in front, Brad Pitt with 74 and George Clooney with 81.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01Well done if you got all 11.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04Thank you, Richard. Right. This is the important question.
0:33:04 > 0:33:09Whoever wins this question is through to the final and will be playing for that jackpot of £4,000.
0:33:09 > 0:33:11Here it is. Listen carefully.
0:33:11 > 0:33:14We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name
0:33:14 > 0:33:21as many countries with more than 100 summer Olympic golds to their name. Richard.
0:33:21 > 0:33:25There are 13 countries who've won 100 or more gold medals
0:33:25 > 0:33:29in summer Olympics between 1894 and 2008.
0:33:29 > 0:33:3213 countries and we're looking for the most obscure.
0:33:32 > 0:33:35OK, Lesley and Angela, you go first.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45- Sure?- Yeah.
0:33:45 > 0:33:49- OK, Lesley and Angela. - We're not entirely sure about this
0:33:49 > 0:33:55- but we're going to go with Japan. - Japan.
0:33:55 > 0:33:59OK. Liz and Becky. Japan has gone.
0:33:59 > 0:34:04- Well, what about Russia? That's quite a big country.- Yeah.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08- There's Kenya for the running.- Yeah.
0:34:08 > 0:34:12- America. - We're going to go for Kenya.
0:34:12 > 0:34:17OK, you're going to go for Kenya. So we have Japan, we have Kenya.
0:34:17 > 0:34:22Lesley and Angela have said Japan. Let's see if that is correct and how many people said Japan.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31Looks like Japan's a good answer.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34- Oh, very good! - APPLAUSE
0:34:34 > 0:34:38A very, very good guess, if that was a guess.
0:34:38 > 0:34:42Liz and Becky have gone for Kenya. Let's see if that's right and how many people said Kenya.
0:34:48 > 0:34:52Bad luck, Liz and Becky. I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer,
0:34:52 > 0:34:56which means, after three questions, Team Lasagne are through to the final.
0:34:57 > 0:35:03- Richard.- Yeah, unlucky, Liz and Becky. You did the right thing, though. Russia scored more than 13
0:35:03 > 0:35:07so you had to go for a more obscure answer. Japan really paid off. Great answer.
0:35:07 > 0:35:11Won 114 gold medals, the Japanese, up to 2008.
0:35:11 > 0:35:14Let's take a look at the countries that have won 100 or more.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17Hungary, one point.
0:35:17 > 0:35:21Finland with two, Sweden was four, East Germany, seven,
0:35:21 > 0:35:24Italy, ten, Japan, 13,
0:35:24 > 0:35:26France, 17,
0:35:26 > 0:35:29Great Britain, 37, Australia, 38,
0:35:29 > 0:35:34Germany, 46, China, 65, Russia would've scored you 72 points,
0:35:34 > 0:35:37and top of the list, the United States of America.
0:35:37 > 0:35:42So, the losing pair at the end of the head to head is Liz and Becky.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45Oh, dear. Well, you answered pretty well in all these categories.
0:35:45 > 0:35:49Kenya was the only thing that let you down. But your reasoning was good.
0:35:49 > 0:35:53You will be back next time. This is only your first time on Pointless,
0:35:53 > 0:35:57so look on this as a dry run. What are your tactics going to be next time?
0:35:57 > 0:36:00Get to the final is going to be our main tactic.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02- If more people had that tactic... - Good tactic.
0:36:02 > 0:36:08That's a good tactic. That's the one thing all our finalist have in common. They all got to the final.
0:36:08 > 0:36:10You see?
0:36:10 > 0:36:14You've been fantastic contestants. Thank you for playing. Goodbye.
0:36:14 > 0:36:16APPLAUSE
0:36:16 > 0:36:21But for Lesley and Angela, it's now time for our Pointless final and the chance to win £4,000.
0:36:25 > 0:36:29Congratulations, Lesley and Angela, Team Lasagne,
0:36:29 > 0:36:33you fought off all the competition to win our Pointless trophy.
0:36:37 > 0:36:40- Well done. - APPLAUSE
0:36:40 > 0:36:43Now, though, you have the chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:36:43 > 0:36:48At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £4,000.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51APPLAUSE
0:36:51 > 0:36:56The rules are simple. To win that money, all you have to do is find a pointless answer.
0:36:56 > 0:37:01We've had two pointless answers today, which you both gave.
0:37:01 > 0:37:04Just find one more pointless answer and you go home with that jackpot.
0:37:04 > 0:37:08You have to choose a category. Your three options are...
0:37:14 > 0:37:20American sport, classic British soul, world geography.
0:37:20 > 0:37:23- What's it going to be? - Definitely not the sport.
0:37:23 > 0:37:28- Definitely not geography. - BOTH: It'll have to be classic British soul.
0:37:28 > 0:37:30You said that beautifully together.
0:37:30 > 0:37:34If I got a guitar, perhaps we could...
0:37:34 > 0:37:39OK, let's find out what the question is. You are going for classic British soul.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many
0:37:42 > 0:37:47Dusty Springfield top 40 singles as they could. Is that brilliant or not?
0:37:47 > 0:37:50- It's brilliant. - There we are. Excellent. Richard.
0:37:50 > 0:37:54Any single released by Dusty Springfield or with her as a featured artist
0:37:54 > 0:37:57which has reached the UK top 40 prior to May 2010.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00OK, you now have up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:38:00 > 0:38:07All you need to win £4,000 is for one answer to be pointless. Your 60 seconds start now.
0:38:07 > 0:38:12Yeah, I think All I See Is You. What about Windmills Of Your Mind?
0:38:12 > 0:38:17- Was it a top 40 hit?- I don't know. It might be an album one.
0:38:17 > 0:38:22- There's also Island Of Dreams, for The Springfields.- Yeah.
0:38:22 > 0:38:24Stay Awhile.
0:38:24 > 0:38:27Stay Awhile is a good one to choose, isn't it?
0:38:27 > 0:38:31So we'll have Stay Awhile, All I See Is You.
0:38:31 > 0:38:34I don't know about Windmills, cos that might not be a single.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37- We'll go with the one you said. - What about Losing You?
0:38:37 > 0:38:41- There's so many. - There is a lot to choose from.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44- It's choosing the obscure ones. - So we'll go for Stay Awhile,
0:38:44 > 0:38:47Losing You
0:38:47 > 0:38:50- and Island Of Dreams.- Yeah.
0:38:50 > 0:38:54Wow. Stop the clock. There we are. With time to spare
0:38:54 > 0:38:56and a smile on your faces.
0:38:56 > 0:39:01This is so good. We were looking for Dusty Springfield top 40 singles.
0:39:01 > 0:39:06- I need your three answers. - All I See Is You.- All I See Is You.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09- Island Of Dreams.- Island Of Dreams.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12- What was the other one? - Stay Awhile.- Stay Awhile.
0:39:12 > 0:39:15Which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:39:15 > 0:39:19- I think Stay Awhile.- Stay Awhile.
0:39:19 > 0:39:25We'll put that last. Which should we put first? Which is your least confident shot at a pointless?
0:39:25 > 0:39:29- The one she did with the Springfields.- Island Of Dreams.
0:39:29 > 0:39:35We'll do Island Of Dreams first, All I See Is You, Stay Awhile.
0:39:35 > 0:39:40There they are, there are your three Dusty Springfield top 40 singles.
0:39:40 > 0:39:44Just one of those has to be pointless for you to win that £4,000 jackpot.
0:39:44 > 0:39:49Let's go with your first one, Island Of Dreams. You said this was your least confident answer.
0:39:49 > 0:39:52Let's see how many people said Island Of Dreams.
0:39:57 > 0:39:59Ohh!
0:39:59 > 0:40:04- What was wrong with that? - I don't know. She did it with The Springfields, I thought.
0:40:04 > 0:40:07- Might not have been a top 40. - Maybe it was an album song.
0:40:07 > 0:40:12Unfortunately, it's not a pointless answer. You only have two chances left at today's jackpot.
0:40:12 > 0:40:15But you said that was your least confident answer,
0:40:15 > 0:40:20so that was just to clear the barrels. We're looking for Dusty Springfield top 40 singles.
0:40:20 > 0:40:24Your next answer, All I See Is You. You were a bit more confident with this.
0:40:24 > 0:40:29Let's see how our 100 people reacted to All I See Is You.
0:40:32 > 0:40:35Well, they thought it was right. It's right.
0:40:36 > 0:40:37Down it comes, into the 50s.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40It has to go all the way down to zero to be pointless
0:40:40 > 0:40:43to win that £4,000 jackpot. Still going down.
0:40:44 > 0:40:47- Oh! Look at that! - I don't believe it!
0:40:47 > 0:40:49APPLAUSE
0:40:49 > 0:40:54- Who was this person?- One person. Miss D Springfield. I don't know.
0:40:56 > 0:41:00That's fine. That wasn't your most confident answer.
0:41:00 > 0:41:07It's not pointless. One person knew it. You only have one final chance to win today's jackpot.
0:41:07 > 0:41:10You said this was the one you were most confident in. Stay Awhile.
0:41:10 > 0:41:17Let's see if it's correct and how many people said Stay Awhile.
0:41:17 > 0:41:22This for £4,000. We were looking for Dusty Springfield top 40 singles.
0:41:25 > 0:41:26It's right.
0:41:27 > 0:41:31It's right. All I See Is You came down to one.
0:41:31 > 0:41:35This you said you had more faith in. This has to go further down.
0:41:35 > 0:41:38Into the teens. Into single figures.
0:41:38 > 0:41:40Oh, no!
0:41:41 > 0:41:44- Oh, no! - APPLAUSE
0:41:46 > 0:41:49Oh, dear.
0:41:49 > 0:41:53Unfortunately... I can't believe that.
0:41:53 > 0:41:59That Miss D Springfield in our 100 people. You didn't manage to find that crucial pointless answer.
0:41:59 > 0:42:03- It eluded you, just! - He was a real fan, that one.
0:42:03 > 0:42:08Deal, oh, dear. A real fan. So I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £4,000.
0:42:08 > 0:42:12You were so close. So that rolls over to the next show. But you have been amazing
0:42:12 > 0:42:15and you get to take home our Pointless trophy. So well done.
0:42:15 > 0:42:19APPLAUSE
0:42:19 > 0:42:21Oh. So, Richard.
0:42:21 > 0:42:25That was very, very unlucky. Island Of Dreams we didn't show you
0:42:25 > 0:42:30because it's The Springfields rather than her. There were eight pointless answers.
0:42:30 > 0:42:34- Three top ten hits here, and I hope you don't know any of them.- We will.
0:42:34 > 0:42:40Going Back. I'll Try Anything. In The Middle Of Nowhere, that was a top ten hit.
0:42:41 > 0:42:48Little By Little. Nothing Has Been Proved, Reputation, that was her most recent top 40 hit.
0:42:48 > 0:42:52Some Of Your Lovin' and Your Hurtin' Kind Of Love.
0:42:52 > 0:42:56- Do any of those ring bells? - All of them.- Yes.- So sorry.
0:42:56 > 0:43:01I think that's the closest we've ever seen to a jackpot without having a jackpot.
0:43:01 > 0:43:06- That doesn't help, does it? - That's history we've made.
0:43:06 > 0:43:08Unfortunately, we do have to say goodbye to you.
0:43:08 > 0:43:12You've been wonderful contestants. Thank you so much for playing.
0:43:12 > 0:43:16APPLAUSE
0:43:16 > 0:43:20Nobody's won our jackpot today, so it rolls over, which means on the next show,
0:43:20 > 0:43:24we'll be playing for £5,000.
0:43:24 > 0:43:27APPLAUSE
0:43:27 > 0:43:32- Join us next time. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye. - And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
