0:00:15 > 0:00:18APPLAUSE AND CHEERS
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Thank you very much. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong.
0:00:27 > 0:00:31This is Pointless, the quiz show where fewer points means more chance
0:00:31 > 0:00:33of winning. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40And we welcome back Phil and Emily. You were on the show last time.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43Everyone gets two chances to reach the final and this is your last chance.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46- Remind us how you did? - We did fairly well.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48We got to the head-to-heads. Hoping to do better today.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Yes. I think you might. I just think you might, have a hunch.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54You did incredibly well. You got a Pointless, didn't you, Phil?
0:00:54 > 0:00:57In my first answer, and it went downhill from there. Pretty much.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Yeah. Yeah, I remember now.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Anyway, very best of luck this afternoon. Welcome to James and Sam.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05How do you two know each other?
0:01:05 > 0:01:10We met at university and we're now flatmates in the sunny East End of London.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12Sunny East End of London. What do you do, Sam?
0:01:12 > 0:01:15I work for a media agency doing online advertising.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18- How about you, James? - I'm a fashion store manager.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Good. Best of luck this afternoon.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Massive welcome to Liz and Katy. How do you two know each other?
0:01:23 > 0:01:28We know each other because we're sisters, so I've known Katy for all of her life.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32Very good. That means you must be the older sister.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34- I am.- She is. People get us confused, don't they?
0:01:34 > 0:01:37- Yes.- They think I'm older. - Very good. What do you do, Katy?
0:01:37 > 0:01:40- I'm a student at the moment. - You're a student. And, Liz?
0:01:40 > 0:01:42- I'm a police officer. - Very good to know.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46Good. Glad we got you here. Very best of luck to you this afternoon.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Finally, we've got Peter and Glenys. How do you two know each other?
0:01:49 > 0:01:52We've been married for over 37 years.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55We met first of all on a beautiful holiday island
0:01:55 > 0:01:59with perfect sand and lovely sea, we were both on the beach together.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01The Isle of Wight's never been better.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Fantastic. What do you do for a living, Peter?
0:02:04 > 0:02:07- I don't do anything other than enjoy myself.- Excellent.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09I've been retired for some time now.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13Oh, you shouldn't have ruined it. I liked the idea of you enjoying yourself for a living.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16I intend to get that job one day.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18We'll find out more about you all throughout the show
0:02:18 > 0:02:22but I couldn't go any further without introducing you to the man with all the facts and figures.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24He's my Pointless friend, he's Richard.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32So, Richard, what kind of a show have we got?
0:02:32 > 0:02:36We've got a good show. We've got very, very strong returning couple.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Got to the head-to-head last time,
0:02:38 > 0:02:41I suspect will be looking to go one step further.
0:02:41 > 0:02:46And we've got our first question today. It's one of those that might drive you slightly mad.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49It's one where you think you must know a good answer to it.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53- Oh, I want to know what it is now. - Well, it's really soon. You don't have to wait too long.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56- OK.- I'll tell you in literally, sort of, 60 seconds, I would guess.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00Well, now, we put all our questions to 100 people before the show, but this is Pointless,
0:03:00 > 0:03:03so we are after the obscure answers that they didn't get.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07The fewer people who got the answer, the fewer points awarded and the better your chance of winning.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10Now, to stay in the game with a chance to win our jackpot,
0:03:10 > 0:03:14our players, all they have to do is score as few points as they can.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16But what everyone's wanting to do is to find a Pointless answer.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19That is an answer that none of our 100 people gave,
0:03:19 > 0:03:22and every time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:03:22 > 0:03:27Nobody has won the jackpot so far this series. And we will add another £1,000 to the jackpot.
0:03:27 > 0:03:33So we start off today with a jackpot, unbelievably, of £9,750.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35APPLAUSE AND CHEERS
0:03:35 > 0:03:39Now that's a jackpot. Let's play Pointless.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48In the first round, each of you must give me one answer
0:03:48 > 0:03:50and you cannot confer with your partner.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54Whichever team has the highest score at the end of the round will be eliminated.
0:03:54 > 0:03:59And if anyone gives me an incorrect answer, you will score the maximum of 100 points.
0:03:59 > 0:04:03OK, guys, our first category this afternoon is...
0:04:06 > 0:04:10Decide in your pairs who's going to go first and who's going to go second.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14Right, and whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:04:17 > 0:04:24We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many Band Aid performers as they could. Richard?
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Yeah, we're looking for any person who performed on the original 1984
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Band Aid version of Do They Know It's Christmas.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33We're not looking for groups. It's individuals.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36There are 44 individuals on the list.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40You need to find the most obscure one you possibly can.
0:04:40 > 0:04:46Hmm. Right, Phil and Emily, you all drew lots before the show and today you get to go first.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Emily, 1984?
0:04:49 > 0:04:51How old were you then?
0:04:51 > 0:04:52Minus five!
0:04:52 > 0:04:56Excellent. So you'll know Band Aid nearly as well as I do.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00- Not a clue. - Right.- I know the new one.- Mm-hm.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02But not the old one.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04- You've heard it? - Yeah. I have heard it.
0:05:04 > 0:05:10Some voices on there you maybe might recognise, do you think?
0:05:10 > 0:05:17I've only got two names coming to mind and one of them, I imagine, is going to be really high.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20So I'm just going to have to say Sting.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23You're going to say Sting.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27OK, not a bad answer. You're hoping to score as few points as possible with Sting.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Let's see how many people said Sting and if it's a right answer.
0:05:32 > 0:05:33Is...
0:05:37 > 0:05:3828.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46Not an altogether bad score there, Emily. 28. Sting?
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Yes, Sting, brilliant answer, very well done.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52One of the vocalists on that original track. Very good.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Very good. James. Were you around in 1984?
0:05:55 > 0:05:59I was two in 1984 but I know the video quite well,
0:05:59 > 0:06:03so I'm pretty confident with my answer.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05And it's going to be Paul Young.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Yes, you're hoping to score as few points as possible.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11Let's see if Paul Young can do it for you. Paul Young.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Well, it is correct.
0:06:19 > 0:06:2119.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Another very good answer. Paul Young, Richard.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28Yeah, very good. Paul Young, he sang the first lines of the whole song.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32- Course he did.- He doesn't trouble the charts quite so often these days, does he?
0:06:32 > 0:06:34If you're watching, Paul, get writing.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Pick up your guitar. Stop laying your hat.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42Or they should re-release Do They Know It's Christmas. Maybe at Christmas.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Yes. Good. Good thinking, Richard.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48Very good, James, not a bad answer at all. Paul Young, which scores you 19.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Katy, Band Aid performers, that's what we're looking for.
0:06:51 > 0:06:56Unfortunately, it's a bit before my time, and by a bit I mean quite a lot.
0:06:56 > 0:07:03So I have no idea and I'm going to go with a very obvious answer of Bono, maybe?
0:07:03 > 0:07:07Bono. Bono, maybe.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11I think probably Bono, yes. Let's see if anyone remembered Bono.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15It is correct.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25- Really not a bad score! 32. Bono.- Yeah, very good.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29He sang the line, "Well, tonight thank God it's them instead of you".
0:07:29 > 0:07:32- I'm getting depressed about how young everyone is.- I know.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Come on, guys, help us out here.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Glenys.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38- Yes, not so young. - This is more our speed.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42Pop music's not my thing really, but I'll have a go at George Michael.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45George Michael, you're going to say.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49I think that might be a right answer. Let's see how many people said George Michael.
0:07:51 > 0:07:52It's right.
0:08:00 > 0:08:01George Michael scores you 36.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04George Michael scoring more than Bono.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08- And also Bono doesn't keep crashing his car, does he?- No.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11Poor old George. He's just a careless driver, that's all.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15Careless driver? There's a song in there, isn't there, surely?
0:08:15 > 0:08:19Very well done, Glenys. 36.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22OK, we're halfway through the round so let's take a look at the scores.
0:08:22 > 0:08:27James and Sam, obviously doing particularly well on 19.
0:08:27 > 0:08:28Great answer there with Paul Young.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31Peter and Glenys, 36.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35Again, not bad. I mean, anything could happen on the next pass,
0:08:35 > 0:08:38so those who haven't yet answered, get scouring your memory banks.
0:08:38 > 0:08:43Right, back down the line. Can the second players please take their places at the podium.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49So, Peter, we are looking for Band Aid performers.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53Glenys said it wasn't her bag, really.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56I wouldn't say it's my handbag really,
0:08:56 > 0:09:01but I remember someone with quite long hair on it called Marilyn.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05- I think. - Marilyn. I remember Marilyn.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Was Marilyn on it?
0:09:07 > 0:09:11- I don't know, but I'm hoping so. - Well, let's find out.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15You are the high scorers on 36 so there's no red line for you.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18You just have to hope that Marilyn scores as low as possible.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Brilliant. Let's see how many people said Marilyn and if it's a correct answer.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25It's correct.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29This could go a long way down.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33Oh!
0:09:36 > 0:09:41That's a brilliant answer, Peter. That scores you 1, giving you a total of 37. Marilyn.
0:09:41 > 0:09:42Yeah, it's a great answer, Peter.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Marilyn's real name is Peter Robinson.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Later to rise to prominence in Northern Irish politics.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51Yes, because they are the same person.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54I think it's the same one. Let me check it's... Yeah, it's the same one.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57Thank you very much, Richard.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Liz, you are currently on 32.
0:10:00 > 0:10:06You have to score four or less to avoid becoming the high scorers. How good is your guessing on Band Aid?
0:10:06 > 0:10:12My guessing is not spectacular. I'm not going to lie.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15I'm currently in two minds about two different people.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17I'm going to guess and hope it is going to be
0:10:17 > 0:10:23lower points than the other one, and I'm going to guess with Boy George.
0:10:23 > 0:10:28Boy George. You're hoping that that is not going to score you too much.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Here's your red line coming in there.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32You have got to get below that red line
0:10:32 > 0:10:34to avoid becoming the high scorers.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37Let's see if Boy George can take you down there.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Boy George.
0:10:41 > 0:10:42It's right.
0:10:46 > 0:10:4830.
0:10:49 > 0:10:54- Boy George nets you 30, bringing your total up to 62. - Yeah, Boy George.
0:10:54 > 0:11:00His real name was Martin McGuinness who later went on to have a significant role in... It wasn't!
0:11:00 > 0:11:02George O'Dowd.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05Leader of the UDP! LAUGHTER
0:11:05 > 0:11:06So, Sam.
0:11:06 > 0:11:10We're looking for Band Aid performers.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13This is terrifying me.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16I was six months old, but I'm going to go for a guess.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19I hope this is right. Simon Le Bon.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23Simon Le Bon, you're saying. You want to score 42 or less with Simon Le Bon.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26There's your red line. Get below that red line
0:11:26 > 0:11:29and you are through to the next round.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32Let's see if it's correct and how many people said Simon Le Bon.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35It's right.
0:11:37 > 0:11:38Good enough!
0:11:40 > 0:11:43Really good answer, Sam!
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Two great answers.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50That scores you 4 and gives you a total of 23.
0:11:50 > 0:11:51You're through to the next round.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Can I say this is an absolutely awesome performance
0:11:54 > 0:11:58by a series of people who weren't even born when this happened.
0:11:58 > 0:12:03It's like you and me having an encyclopaedic knowledge of the Suez crisis. Which I know you do!
0:12:03 > 0:12:06It's very impressive, everybody.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10Phil, you heard what the man said. Very impressive.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13Putting me under a lot of pressure right now.
0:12:13 > 0:12:14You are currently on 28.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17You have to score 33 or less.
0:12:17 > 0:12:1933, I would say, is pretty much the mean score.
0:12:19 > 0:12:25You have to find one of the more obscure performers, I think.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29Well, I remember listening to it. My grandparents had it on record.
0:12:29 > 0:12:30Wow! How did that work?
0:12:30 > 0:12:34I've no idea! I think actual magic worked it.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37But I remember it was written by this guy.
0:12:37 > 0:12:42I don't know if he performed in it. So I'm going to go for Midge Ure.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44- You know he wrote the single.- Yes.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48You're hoping he might at least have turned up on the day it was recorded. You'd have thought!
0:12:48 > 0:12:50There's your red line. Below that red line...
0:12:50 > 0:12:55That's about as far as Midge Ure would come up if he stood against it.
0:12:55 > 0:13:00Below that red line, you're through to the next round.
0:13:00 > 0:13:06Midge Ure, says Phil. Let's see if our 100 people said Midge Ure and how many of them there were.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10It's a right answer.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14He's done it!
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Very well done, Phil.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22Midge Ure scores you 27 and gives you a total of 55.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Very well played.
0:13:24 > 0:13:25Eight correct answers there.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28There were a whole host of Pointless answers.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30These are the answers that none of our 100 people gave.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34Let's have a look at some of the more slightly better known Pointless answers.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36Francis Rossi of Status Quo.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Gary Kemp of Spandau Ballet.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Holly Johnson of Frankie Goes To Hollywood.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44This is like a history lesson for you guys! Like archaeology.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46Jody Watley of... Remember?
0:13:46 > 0:13:49Shalamar. Johnny Fingers of the Boomtown Rats.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53Keren Woodward from Bananarama.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57Nick Rhodes from Duran Duran.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00Siobhan Fahey, also Bananarama, and Steve Norman of Spandau Ballet.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03This is literally my childhood.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06- Depressing, isn't it? - It's really depressing.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Imagine if you went along and you weren't given a line to sing!
0:14:08 > 0:14:12Poor Francis Rossi - he didn't get a line.
0:14:12 > 0:14:13But he played guitar on it.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Pah! Guitar Schmitar!
0:14:15 > 0:14:18No, Ravi Shankar played the "schmitar" on it!
0:14:20 > 0:14:24Well, I just feel sorry for them, that's all. What about the worst answers?
0:14:24 > 0:14:29Let's take a look at the most obvious answers.
0:14:29 > 0:14:34Bono, with 32. These are the ones that most of our 100 people knew.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Then George Michael with 36.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40- Who do you think was top?- Bob Geldof.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Yeah, he co-wrote it with Midge Ure.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46Bob Geldof would have scored you 49 points.
0:14:46 > 0:14:50Well, thank you. At the end of round one, the losing pair with the highest score,
0:14:50 > 0:14:54I'm sorry to say, are Liz and Katy. Dear, oh, dear.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56It's an ageist question to set, isn't it?
0:14:56 > 0:14:59- Definitely.- You weren't around!
0:14:59 > 0:15:02Unfair advantage to Peter and Glenys!
0:15:02 > 0:15:04We were!
0:15:04 > 0:15:08I was around. Still couldn't remember most of those names, but there we are.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10That's how around I was!
0:15:10 > 0:15:15Liz and Katy, such a shame to say goodbye so early on but on Pointless you get a second chance
0:15:15 > 0:15:17so hopefully you'll do even better... I say "even better"!
0:15:17 > 0:15:20That is to say "better" next time! But thank you so much for playing.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24- Fantastic contestants. - APPLAUSE
0:15:24 > 0:15:27For the remaining three pairs it's time for Round Two.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36Obviously there's only room for two pairs in the head-to-head,
0:15:36 > 0:15:40so one team is going to be leaving at the end of this round. You just have to make sure it's not you.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43OK, the category for Round Two is...
0:15:46 > 0:15:52Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first and who's going to go second?
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Whoever is going first, please step up to the podium.
0:15:58 > 0:15:59And the question is...
0:16:01 > 0:16:06Locations of famous UK sights.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Again, this round we're about to show you some famous UK sights.
0:16:08 > 0:16:14We gave 100 people 100 seconds to tell us where in the UK they were located. Richard.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16We're going to show you six UK sights.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19All you have to do is tell us the county they're in.
0:16:19 > 0:16:23The more obvious ones will score you higher points, the less obvious ones lower points.
0:16:23 > 0:16:27If you give us a wrong answer at any time that will score you 100 points.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29As always, see if you can get all six of them at home.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33OK, thanks, Richard. The first six are...
0:16:44 > 0:16:47Let me read them - Jodrell Bank, Sutton Hoo,
0:16:47 > 0:16:52Eden Project, Lake Windermere, Corfe Castle, Bletchley Park. OK, so Phil.
0:16:52 > 0:16:59We're looking for the counties in which you would find these famous UK sights. Where are you from, Phil?
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Manchester.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04Any of these close to your home town?
0:17:04 > 0:17:08You could class two technically as...
0:17:08 > 0:17:12You think those are the obvious ones. Maybe they're only obvious to you from Manchester.
0:17:12 > 0:17:17That is true. I might go for the Eden Project, though,
0:17:17 > 0:17:19and say that's in Cornwall.
0:17:19 > 0:17:20I think a lot of people...
0:17:20 > 0:17:22You said you might go for it.
0:17:22 > 0:17:27You've now said it! So you are going to go for it? Very good. You say the Eden Project, Cornwall.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31Let's see if that's correct and, if it is, how many people said it?
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Eden Project, Cornwall.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38It's a right answer.
0:17:38 > 0:17:4151.
0:17:41 > 0:17:4351 people said that. Scores you 51.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45- Richard.- Yes, very well done.
0:17:45 > 0:17:50According to the Guinness Book of Records it's got the largest conservatory in the world.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54Although my nan's next-door neighbour is a fairly close second.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01- Sam.- I'm awful at geography.
0:18:01 > 0:18:07I think there's one on there I definitely know, which is safe, and there's one I might risk.
0:18:07 > 0:18:11I'm going to go for the risky one and go Bletchley Park is in Buckinghamshire.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14There it is, bottom of the board. Let's see if that's correct and,
0:18:14 > 0:18:16if it is, how many people knew that answer.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20It's right.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29APPLAUSE
0:18:29 > 0:18:34If that was a real shot in the dark, Sam, it was a fantastic shot. You hit 6.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38Very good answer. Bletchley Park of course probably most famous for cracking the Enigma code.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42They substituted numbers for letters! That's how they cracked it.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45So A=1, B=2... And they worked their way through the alphabet.
0:18:45 > 0:18:50Yeah, then they discovered it was written in this code called German.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Good answer, Sam. So, Glenys, we're looking for
0:18:55 > 0:18:59the counties in which you would find these famous UK sites.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02I was going to say Bletchley Park, but that's gone.
0:19:02 > 0:19:07I'm going to have to go for the obvious one, Lake Windermere in Cumbria.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10Lake Windermere in Cumbria.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13OK. Let's see how many people knew that.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15Lake Windermere in Cumbria.
0:19:25 > 0:19:2832!
0:19:28 > 0:19:31- Not bad. That scores you 32. Richard.- Yes, very good answer.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33The largest lake in England.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36That scores a commensurately large 32 points.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Shall we take a look at the other ones?
0:19:38 > 0:19:41D'you know where Jodrell Bank is?
0:19:41 > 0:19:46- Is it Cheshire or somewhere like that?- It is in Cheshire, yeah. That would have scored you...
0:19:46 > 0:19:5019 points. Sutton Hoo, do you know where Sutton Hoo is?
0:19:50 > 0:19:54Sutton Hoo is in East Anglia... it's... I'm going to say Suffolk.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56It is in Suffolk, it's near Woodbridge in Suffolk.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59That would have scored you 8 points. And Corfe Castle?
0:19:59 > 0:20:04- I do know that, that's in Dorset. - It is, built for William I and would have scored you 14 points.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Very well done if you got all of those at home.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09OK, let's take a look at the scores, we are halfway through the round.
0:20:10 > 0:20:15Well, James and Sam looking very, very solid on six.
0:20:15 > 0:20:19If you can keep up that low scoring you will definitely be through to the head-to-head.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Phil and Emily...
0:20:21 > 0:20:25Emily, it's all going to be on your shoulders in the next pass, OK?
0:20:25 > 0:20:28You're going to have to score as low as you possibly can.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30How good are you on location questions?
0:20:30 > 0:20:33We'll have to see what comes up, but...
0:20:33 > 0:20:37Very good answer. Serves me right for asking such a stupid question.
0:20:37 > 0:20:41And Peter and Glenys, not bad on 32.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44Peter, you can try and score nice and low, you will definitely be in
0:20:44 > 0:20:48the head-to-head, I think. OK, we're going to come back down the line.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:20:54 > 0:20:59OK, we're going to put another six famous sights up on the board, and we have got:
0:21:09 > 0:21:10Let me do those again.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13Ironbridge, Harlech Castle, White Cliffs Of Dover,
0:21:13 > 0:21:17Cerne Abbas Giant, Stonehenge, Chatsworth House.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20Remember, we are looking for the counties that those sights are in,
0:21:20 > 0:21:24and you're trying to find the one that the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:21:24 > 0:21:25So, Peter?
0:21:25 > 0:21:31If only I could read other people's minds and know which ones they don't know.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35How many of those do you think you know?
0:21:35 > 0:21:39I think I know them all, but I'll go for Ironbridge, Shropshire.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41You are on 32.
0:21:41 > 0:21:46To avoid becoming the high scorers you want to score 18 or less with Ironbridge, Shropshire.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50There's your red line, below that red line you are through to the next round.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53Ironbridge, Shropshire, you say. Let's see if that's right.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57Pretty sure it is. And let's see how many people said it.
0:21:57 > 0:21:58It's right!
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Very good!
0:22:05 > 0:22:09Very good indeed, that scores you 13, takes your total up to 45.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12- Richard?- Right, it's one of the great symbols of
0:22:12 > 0:22:16the Industrial Revolution, it spans the River Severn.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19- It needs a better name, I think. - What, Ironbridge?
0:22:19 > 0:22:23Yeah. It's quite unimaginative. Although I suppose if it's the first one, you're allowed to call it that.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Think how many Woodbridges there are.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28- Yep, true enough.- Fair enough.
0:22:28 > 0:22:29Very good answer, Peter.
0:22:29 > 0:22:35So, James, Sam scored six in the first pass, impressive low score.
0:22:35 > 0:22:40You want to be scoring 44 or less with this answer to avoid becoming the high scorers.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43Yeah, this is a terrible subject for me.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45I'm going to go...
0:22:45 > 0:22:49I think it's a guess, actually, I'm going to go with Stonehenge
0:22:49 > 0:22:53and I seem to remember that it was in Wiltshire.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55OK, here's your red line.
0:22:55 > 0:22:59Thanks to Sam's efforts earlier, it's quite high up, which is good.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03If you can get below that with Wiltshire, you should be through to the next round.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06Let's see how many people said Stonehenge, Wiltshire.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10It's right!
0:23:11 > 0:23:14You've done it!
0:23:14 > 0:23:16You've done it.
0:23:17 > 0:23:22Only 30 people said Stonehenge was in Wiltshire, that takes your score up to 36.
0:23:22 > 0:23:27Yeah, Stonehenge, very well done. It's always full of tourists looking a bit disappointed, Stonehenge.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31Cos it's smaller than you think and you're much further away from it than you think you're going to be allowed.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34- Yes.- It's old, though, I'll give them that.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37Very impressive if you drive past it and you're not expecting to see it.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39If you drive past it, that's right.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42Drive past it, someone goes, "It's Stonehenge," you go...
0:23:42 > 0:23:45Well done, great answer.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Great news for James and Sam, you are in the next round.
0:23:47 > 0:23:52Great news for Glenys and Peter, you are in the next round.
0:23:52 > 0:23:58That can only mean one unpalatable truth, I'm afraid, for Emily and Phil.
0:23:58 > 0:24:03You are already our highest scorers and you haven't yet delivered your second answer.
0:24:03 > 0:24:07I'm afraid you're going to be leaving us at the end of this round, bad luck.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10Anyway, we have on the board one, two, three, four more options.
0:24:10 > 0:24:14Why not, Emily, go out in a blaze of glory?
0:24:14 > 0:24:19A selfless, truly selfless act of giving 250 quid to the jackpot?
0:24:19 > 0:24:22See if you can find a Pointless answer in there.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24I'm not saying there is one, but...
0:24:26 > 0:24:30To be perfectly honest, I would have loved Lake Windermere, cos it's where I'm from,
0:24:30 > 0:24:33but seeing as how that's not there...
0:24:35 > 0:24:38I've got no idea where Harlech Castle is.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40No idea at all.
0:24:40 > 0:24:45But seeing as how I've been to Chatsworth House, I'm going to say that I think it's in Derbyshire.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48Sounds reasonable enough to me - Chatsworth House, Derbyshire.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51Let's see if it's right, and how many people said it.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00Down it goes.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02Not a bad answer at all.
0:25:02 > 0:25:0619 people knew that, scores you 19, takes you up to a total of 70.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08Yeah, it's a very good parting shot.
0:25:08 > 0:25:13It's the principle seat of the Dukes of Devonshire, so they've got a pretty long commute.
0:25:13 > 0:25:17OK, Alexander, do you know any of these? So the White Cliffs of Dover?
0:25:17 > 0:25:19- Kent.- They are in Kent.
0:25:19 > 0:25:24- Harlech Castle?- It's going to be in Carmarthenshire...made that up.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27- Oh, it's in Gwynedd. - Is it Gwynedd?
0:25:27 > 0:25:30And the Cerne Abbas Giant, otherwise known as the rude man.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34Yes, the rude man. It's... I think it's...
0:25:34 > 0:25:37Dorset? No, no!
0:25:37 > 0:25:39It is Dorset and would have scored you 7 points.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42- Very well done if you got that at home.- Phew.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44Brilliant. Well, thanks, Richard.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47So at the end of round two, the losing pair with the highest score, it's Phil and Emily.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50- Oh, dear.- I thought... We agreed you were going through to the final.
0:25:50 > 0:25:55Yeah. Well, I could have done it on my own, what can I say?
0:25:55 > 0:25:58I'm sorry. That was your second and final chance to get through to our final.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01I'm afraid you just blew it.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03- You blew it. - Right near the end, I thought...
0:26:03 > 0:26:07Get the big answer, think, "They're not going to do it." It didn't work.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10It's a combination of how much you know and how much others know
0:26:10 > 0:26:14and how lucky they are and how unlucky you are and, you know, all these...
0:26:14 > 0:26:17It's like England World Cup teams discuss for millennia
0:26:17 > 0:26:20after the games when they were kicked out.
0:26:20 > 0:26:25But anyway, you have been fantastic contestants, it's been lovely having you on the show. Thank you so much.
0:26:25 > 0:26:31For the remaining two pairs, things are about to get even more exciting now as we enter the head-to-head.
0:26:35 > 0:26:40Well done, James, Sam, Peter and Glenys, you've made it through to the head-to-head.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Now, clearly only one pair can make it through to today's final
0:26:43 > 0:26:49and play for the jackpot, which currently stands at £9,750.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52AUDIENCE WHOOPS
0:26:52 > 0:26:56OK, you're going to go head-to-head on the best of three questions.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00For each question, each pair needs to give me just one answer, and you are now allowed to confer.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04You have to come up with an answer that scores less than the other pair to win that question.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07The first pair to win two questions will be playing for today's jackpot.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09Let's play Pointless.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15Right, here's your first question.
0:27:15 > 0:27:19We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:27:19 > 0:27:22Disney Pixar feature films
0:27:22 > 0:27:24as they could. Disney Pixar feature films. Richard?
0:27:24 > 0:27:30Yeah, we're looking for any film made for cinema release and jointly produced by Disney and Pixar.
0:27:30 > 0:27:35We are looking for films that were released up to June 2010.
0:27:35 > 0:27:39Not looking for short films, just Disney Pixar feature films.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41OK, thank you very much.
0:27:41 > 0:27:45James and Sam, you've played the best throughout the show, you get to go first.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48We are looking for Disney Pixar feature films.
0:27:48 > 0:27:53THEY CONFER
0:27:53 > 0:27:57We are going to go with Bug's Life.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59Bug's Life. Very good.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01Peter and Glenys?
0:28:01 > 0:28:04What about... What are the others? It could be Toy Story, what's that?
0:28:04 > 0:28:09Toy Story 2 would be better to say, if there is such a thing.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12Is there a Toy Story 4?
0:28:12 > 0:28:14- Shall we try that?- Toy Story 2.
0:28:14 > 0:28:18- Toy Story 2.- OK, let's assess those in the order they were given.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20James and Sam say A Bug's Life.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23Let's see how many people said A Bug's Life.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25It's correct.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32Oh, very good. 10.
0:28:36 > 0:28:41An inspired answer, there. Peter and Glenys have gone for Toy Story 2.
0:28:41 > 0:28:45Let's see if that's a correct answer, and if it is, how many people said it.
0:28:48 > 0:28:51Very good, down it goes.
0:28:51 > 0:28:52Oh!
0:28:52 > 0:28:54That scores 20.
0:28:54 > 0:28:59So after the first question, it is 1-0 to James and Sam.
0:28:59 > 0:29:03- Richard?- There were a few answers that would have beaten Bug's Life. Let's take a look.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05Right at the bottom of the list,
0:29:05 > 0:29:08two Oscar-winning films, Ratatouille and WALL-E.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10The Incredibles only getting six points.
0:29:10 > 0:29:14Finding Nemo with nine, and Bug's Life with 10.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16And moving up the list, Up with 14,
0:29:16 > 0:29:21Monsters, Inc with 17, then Cars, then the two Toy Stories.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24Toy Story 2 getting 20 and Toy Story getting 40.
0:29:24 > 0:29:26But well done if you got all of those.
0:29:26 > 0:29:30Toy Story 3 isn't up there because that came out after we asked our 100 people.
0:29:30 > 0:29:35- I think I've seen all of those. - Impressive canon of films, there. - Monsters, Inc is my favourite.
0:29:35 > 0:29:39I might agree with that. OK, here's your second question.
0:29:39 > 0:29:43James and Sam, if you win this one you're straight through to the final
0:29:43 > 0:29:46and a chance to win nearly £10,000.
0:29:46 > 0:29:50Peter and Glenys, if they win this one they are straight through to the final
0:29:50 > 0:29:54with a chance to win nearly £10,000, so you must get this point.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57Here is your second question. We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:29:57 > 0:30:03to name as many OPEC members as they could.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05OPEC members. Richard?
0:30:05 > 0:30:09We are looking for any country that is now or has ever been a member of OPEC,
0:30:09 > 0:30:12that's the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14That list goes up to April 2010.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16Thank you, Richard.
0:30:16 > 0:30:20This time it is Peter and Glenys's turn to answer first.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25- Can we confer?- You do what you like!
0:30:25 > 0:30:27THEY CONFER
0:30:32 > 0:30:36- Venezuela.- Venezuela, you say.
0:30:36 > 0:30:40OK. Venezuela. James and Sam?
0:30:40 > 0:30:42THEY CONFER
0:30:48 > 0:30:51We are going to go for...
0:30:51 > 0:30:54Russia's the obvious one, but we are going to go for Kazakhstan.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57Kazakhstan, say James and Sam.
0:30:57 > 0:31:02OK, so we have Venezuela and we have Kazakhstan.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04Let's assess those as they're given.
0:31:04 > 0:31:08Venezuela, how many people said Venezuela, and is it a correct answer?
0:31:11 > 0:31:13Well, it's right!
0:31:18 > 0:31:21- Very good answer. - APPLAUSE
0:31:21 > 0:31:26Venezuela scoring you 12. James and Sam have said Kazakhstan, let's see
0:31:26 > 0:31:29if that is a correct answer and, if it is, how many people said it.
0:31:32 > 0:31:33Ooh!
0:31:35 > 0:31:37Bad luck, an incorrect answer.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40So after two questions it is 1-1.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42Richard?
0:31:42 > 0:31:45Yeah, Venezuela was a very, very good answer.
0:31:45 > 0:31:50- Now, you discussed saying Nigeria, I think. Is that right?- Mmm-hmm.
0:31:50 > 0:31:55- Yeah.- If you'd said that, you would have just won the point, because Nigeria would have scored you eight.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58Let's take a look at the other answers, though.
0:31:58 > 0:31:59There is a Pointless answer here.
0:31:59 > 0:32:04If anybody at home knows that Gabon was formerly a member of OPEC then,
0:32:04 > 0:32:07A, get out more but B, well done.
0:32:07 > 0:32:11Ecuador, Angola, Indonesia, there's Nigeria, Qatar with nine,
0:32:11 > 0:32:13there's Venezuela with 12.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15Very good answer.
0:32:15 > 0:32:19And some more obvious ones here, Algeria, Libya, the UAE,
0:32:19 > 0:32:25Kuwait, Iran, Iraq and right at the top, Saudi Arabia with 46 points.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28OK. Thanks, Richard.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30Here is the final, deciding question.
0:32:30 > 0:32:34Whoever gets this point is through to the final
0:32:34 > 0:32:37and a chance to win that £9,750 jackpot.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40OK, here is the third question.
0:32:40 > 0:32:46We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many ranks in the Royal Navy as they could.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49Ranks in the Royal Navy. Richard?
0:32:49 > 0:32:52Yeah, we are looking for any of the 11 officer ranks in the Royal Navy,
0:32:52 > 0:32:55so non-commissioned ranks won't count.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58We are looking for the 11 commissioned ranks of the Royal Navy.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00Thanks very much, Richard.
0:33:00 > 0:33:01James and Sam,
0:33:01 > 0:33:04your turn to answer first again.
0:33:12 > 0:33:17It's a massive guess, it may not even exist, but Rear Admiral?
0:33:17 > 0:33:20OK, James and Sam say Rear Admiral.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22Peter and Glenys?
0:33:22 > 0:33:23Commodore, isn't there a Commodore?
0:33:23 > 0:33:28- I'm not sure if a Commodore is Merchant Navy.- Oh, right.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30I'm not sure. You're probably right.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32What else can you think of, then?
0:33:35 > 0:33:37There must be some Lieutenants.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43I daren't not go for Commodore.
0:33:43 > 0:33:46You're going to go for Commodore.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49So we have Rear Admiral, we have Commodore.
0:33:49 > 0:33:52OK, Rear Admiral, James and Sam said first, let's put that to the test.
0:33:52 > 0:33:56Rear Admiral. Is it correct and, if so, how many people said it?
0:33:59 > 0:34:01It is correct.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03Very good, down it goes.
0:34:06 > 0:34:0713!
0:34:12 > 0:34:15Good answer. Peter and Glenys have said Commodore.
0:34:15 > 0:34:17Let's see if that is correct
0:34:17 > 0:34:22and, if it is, let's see how many people said it, Commodore.
0:34:22 > 0:34:28This for the place in the final and a chance to win that jackpot of nearly £10,000.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38Oh, it's going to be close.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41- Oh! - APPLAUSE AND CHEERS
0:34:42 > 0:34:46Couldn't be closer. Commodore wins it.
0:34:46 > 0:34:50So after three questions, Peter and Glenys are through to the final.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53- Richard?- Good answers from both teams, there.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55Admiral of the Fleet, Lieutenant-Commander,
0:34:55 > 0:34:57Vice-Admiral would have got you 7,
0:34:57 > 0:35:00Sub-Lieutenant 7, there's Commodore on 11.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02Let's take a look at...
0:35:02 > 0:35:07Rear Admiral 13, Commander 17, the most famous Commander, of course, being James Bond.
0:35:07 > 0:35:12The most famous Commodore being Lionel Richie.
0:35:12 > 0:35:16Lieutenant with 26, then Admiral 49 and Captain 53.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19Very, very well done if you got all of those.
0:35:19 > 0:35:24OK, thank you, Richard. So the losing pair at the end of the head-to-head round, I'm afraid,
0:35:24 > 0:35:27is James and Sam. Bad luck, guys.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29Gosh, that was close, wasn't it?
0:35:29 > 0:35:31Couldn't have really been closer.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34- It was a bit of a guess, that, wasn't it?- Yeah, massive guess.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37Naval history is not a strong point.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40Even naval current affairs!
0:35:40 > 0:35:44And Bug's Life, very good answer.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46Kazakhstan, the way you said it, I thought you knew that.
0:35:46 > 0:35:50He's never going to let me forget that.
0:35:50 > 0:35:53- Never, ever, ever. - What would you have gone for?
0:35:53 > 0:35:55Nigeria. He said Nigeria and I over...
0:35:55 > 0:35:57I had too much faith.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00- Too much faith? - Not going to happen again.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04Very good. Well done for getting this far, though.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07You've come all the way to the head-to-head.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10You'll be back again next time, maybe you'll make it all the way.
0:36:10 > 0:36:14- You been fantastic contestants, thanks so much for playing. - APPLAUSE
0:36:14 > 0:36:21But for Peter and Glenys it's now time for our Pointless final, and the chance to win £9,750.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26So congratulations, Peter and Glenys. You've fought off
0:36:26 > 0:36:30all the competition and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36Well done. Very good.
0:36:36 > 0:36:40And you now have the chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:36:40 > 0:36:47At the end of today's show the jackpot stands at a staggering £9,750.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49An enormous jackpot.
0:36:50 > 0:36:54Now, the rules are very simple. To win the money, all you have to do is find a pointless answer.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56An answer that no-one else could think of.
0:36:56 > 0:37:03We haven't had any Pointless answers today. All you have to do is find one to go home with that £9,750.
0:37:03 > 0:37:08First, though, you've got to choose a category from these three options. Your choices are:
0:37:12 > 0:37:16Motor Sport, Literary Greats, the Oscars.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18I know nothing about Motor Sport.
0:37:18 > 0:37:23- And I know nothing about Motor Sports or the Oscars. - So we'll go for Literary Greats.
0:37:23 > 0:37:25You're going to go for Literary Greats?
0:37:25 > 0:37:27OK, let's find out what the question is.
0:37:27 > 0:37:32We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:37:32 > 0:37:36people commemorated in Poets' Corner
0:37:36 > 0:37:38as they could. Richard?
0:37:38 > 0:37:41Yeah, there are over 100 poets or writers either buried or commemorated
0:37:41 > 0:37:44in Poets' Corner in Westminster Abbey.
0:37:44 > 0:37:48You just have to give us the most obscure one that you can think of.
0:37:48 > 0:37:52We are taking our list from the Westminster Abbey Library.
0:37:52 > 0:37:56OK. You now have up to a minute to come up with three answers,
0:37:56 > 0:37:58and all you need to win that £9,750
0:37:58 > 0:38:02is for just one of those answers to be Pointless.
0:38:02 > 0:38:04All right, your 60 seconds start now.
0:38:04 > 0:38:06There's the obvious ones of Keats and Wordsworth,
0:38:06 > 0:38:08but I think we should forget those.
0:38:08 > 0:38:11Is Robert Southey, do you think, there? What about Philip Larkin,
0:38:11 > 0:38:14- because he didn't want to be in but they put him in any way.- Did they?
0:38:14 > 0:38:19- He is commemorated but not buried there, I believe. - What about Alfred Newman?
0:38:19 > 0:38:22Alfred Newman? Newbold? Is it Newbold?
0:38:22 > 0:38:24- Newbold.- Newbolt? Newman.
0:38:24 > 0:38:26No, Newman is from Mad comic.
0:38:26 > 0:38:28Oh, yes, Alfred E Neuman.
0:38:28 > 0:38:32- Not him, then. - Newbolt, Alfred Newbolt.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35- John Masefield.- John Masefield.
0:38:35 > 0:38:37Philip Larkin.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40And I don't know how far back they go, do you? That's the trouble.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42What are we going for? Philip Larkin...?
0:38:42 > 0:38:46- Southey?- Southey and...?
0:38:46 > 0:38:48- Masefield?- Yep, OK. - Are you happy with those three?
0:38:48 > 0:38:51- I think so, yes. - You happy to stop the clock?- Yep.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54Brilliant. You have three answers.
0:38:54 > 0:38:59Philip Larkin, Robert Southey and... I've forgotten the other one.
0:38:59 > 0:39:00- Masefield.- John Masefield.
0:39:00 > 0:39:03OK. So Larkin is going to be your best punt, you think?
0:39:03 > 0:39:07- Yup.- OK, Philip Larkin we'll put up third.
0:39:07 > 0:39:11- Who do you think is your least strong suit? - Robert Southey, do you think?
0:39:11 > 0:39:16Well, if he is there it could be Pointless, but he might not be there.
0:39:16 > 0:39:21- Robert Southey next.- Robert Southey will be our first one, we will put
0:39:21 > 0:39:26- John Masefield second and we'll put Philip Larkin third.- OK.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28They look quite good up there, don't they?
0:39:28 > 0:39:31- They look good up there. - Yeah, I think they do.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34Our own little Poets' Corner here, look at that. Fabulous.
0:39:34 > 0:39:38What would you spend £9,750 on?
0:39:38 > 0:39:41- Glenys?- I'd go to New Zealand, I don't know what he'll do.
0:39:41 > 0:39:44I thought you meant you were going to spend it on Glenys!
0:39:44 > 0:39:47- An entirely fitting answer. You'd go to New Zealand? - I'd go to New Zealand.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50I think hopefully I'd go with her.
0:39:50 > 0:39:54Right, excellent. Or you go on your own, go first class!
0:39:54 > 0:39:57Why New Zealand?
0:39:57 > 0:40:00We have relatives there and two new babies born.
0:40:00 > 0:40:05- Oh!- And a wedding.- And a wedding? - My godson's getting married.
0:40:05 > 0:40:10- It would be perfect timing. - Beautiful.- No-one has won the jackpot yet this series.
0:40:10 > 0:40:15Just going to... They call this management of expectation, I think.
0:40:15 > 0:40:20- Fair enough.- Just to let you know, no-one has yet won the jackpot.
0:40:20 > 0:40:24But that's why it's such a massive jackpot, £9,750.
0:40:24 > 0:40:27Right, you only need one Pointless answer, you have to find
0:40:27 > 0:40:33one Pointless answer out of your three answers to win that £9,750.
0:40:33 > 0:40:36This is your first crack at the jackpot -
0:40:36 > 0:40:38Robert Southey.
0:40:38 > 0:40:42We were looking for people commemorated in Poets' Corner,
0:40:42 > 0:40:45this was your least confident answer.
0:40:45 > 0:40:47Just has to be correct,
0:40:47 > 0:40:49and right down there at the bottom of the column
0:40:49 > 0:40:51are two tickets to New Zealand.
0:40:53 > 0:40:58OK, Robert Southey, let's see how many people said Robert Southey.
0:40:58 > 0:40:59It's correct.
0:40:59 > 0:41:02This is very good news, isn't it?
0:41:05 > 0:41:06Down it goes.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08Go on, Robert!
0:41:08 > 0:41:09£9,750.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12Yes!
0:41:16 > 0:41:19Well done, fabulous.
0:41:19 > 0:41:23APPLAUSE AND CHEERS
0:41:23 > 0:41:25Congratulations!
0:41:27 > 0:41:32You have managed to find that Pointless answer that no-one's been able to find all series,
0:41:32 > 0:41:36and you've just won a massive £9,750.
0:41:36 > 0:41:38Brilliant.
0:41:41 > 0:41:45Well, Robert Southey has done it for you.
0:41:45 > 0:41:46He is sending you to New Zealand.
0:41:46 > 0:41:50- He is.- Yes, wonderful. Yes, we shall take him with us.
0:41:50 > 0:41:53Very, very good indeed. Have you been to Poets' Corner?
0:41:53 > 0:41:56- No, But we certainly will be going now.- I've been.
0:41:56 > 0:41:58Fantastic. Really, really exciting.
0:41:58 > 0:42:02Such a good answer. How long are you going to go out to New Zealand for?
0:42:02 > 0:42:05- Three weeks.- About two years?
0:42:05 > 0:42:08Have you got a lot of family out there?
0:42:08 > 0:42:14- I've got two... what are they? - A niece, a nephew...- Two nephews,
0:42:14 > 0:42:18- a niece, all their family as well. - Two new babies. - And you've never been before?
0:42:18 > 0:42:19- Oh, yes, we've been before.- Once.
0:42:19 > 0:42:23We couldn't really afford to go this year for the wedding, but we will now.
0:42:23 > 0:42:25You can now, that's fantastic.
0:42:25 > 0:42:29- So Richard, what were the other Pointless answers?- Very, very good.
0:42:29 > 0:42:33Robert Southey, he was a poet and our hundred people didn't know it.
0:42:33 > 0:42:37- John Masefield was also a Pointless answer!- Wow!
0:42:37 > 0:42:40Larkin wasn't, but Masefield was. There's some very famous names.
0:42:40 > 0:42:45Charlotte Bronte is on the list, she was Pointless, Oscar Wilde, Samuel Johnson,
0:42:45 > 0:42:50Siegfried Sassoon, DH Lawrence, all sorts of people commemorated there.
0:42:50 > 0:42:54But Robert Southey the most important of all, it turns out.
0:42:54 > 0:42:58Fantastic. Well, thanks once again to our winning players
0:42:58 > 0:43:02Peter and Glenys, who will go away with today's jackpot of £9,750.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04- Well done.- Thank you.
0:43:04 > 0:43:10Brilliant. Join us next time when we will be putting more obscure knowledge to the test on Pointless.
0:43:10 > 0:43:12- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...- Goodbye.
0:43:12 > 0:43:14And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
