0:00:17 > 0:00:18CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to the first show
0:00:27 > 0:00:32in a brand new series of Pointless, the quiz show where the lowest scorers are the biggest winners.
0:00:32 > 0:00:36Over the coming weeks we'll be asking our contestants to dive into the deep end of their knowledge
0:00:36 > 0:00:40in search of the most obscure answers to hundreds of new questions.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42Let's meet today's players.
0:00:45 > 0:00:46APPLAUSE
0:00:48 > 0:00:50Welcome to Roxx and Myth.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53You're our first pair on the show. How do you two know each other?
0:00:53 > 0:00:57We actually met each other at a Motley Crue concert a few years ago,
0:00:57 > 0:01:01and since then we've formed a band together called Whiskey And Lace.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Whiskey And Lace? What particularly drew you to...?
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Well, it's an old Alice Cooper album called Lace And Whiskey,
0:01:06 > 0:01:09so we thought, Lace And Whiskey... Whiskey And Lace.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12Very good!
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Now, Myth, come clean with me.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17- Were you christened Myth?- No.
0:01:17 > 0:01:18LAUGHTER
0:01:18 > 0:01:23Myth would be my alias, as it were. In another life I was known as Phil.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25I'm going to call you Myth.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27- LAUGHTER - And Roxx?
0:01:27 > 0:01:29Er...Rob Hughes, my name is.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32- Rob?- Hughes, yeah. - Those names are banished.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34We're not going to deal with those any more.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37- It's going to be Roxx and Myth. - That's it.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Great to have you on the show, very best of luck to you.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43Next we welcome back Nosheel and John. You were on the show last series.
0:01:43 > 0:01:48We give everyone two chances to get through to the Pointless final, and this is your second.
0:01:48 > 0:01:49Remind us how you did.
0:01:49 > 0:01:54We got to the second round, and then it sort of went downhill from there.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56What's your strategy this time round?
0:01:56 > 0:02:00To stay in a bit longer than the second round, hopefully.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02- Sounds good to me!- Simple.
0:02:02 > 0:02:07Well, very best of luck to you. Next we welcome Yvonne and Doreen. How do you two know each other?
0:02:07 > 0:02:11Well, we met at a ladies' club about four years ago, and we hit it off straight away,
0:02:11 > 0:02:17we've got the same hobbies and everything. We've been friends ever since.
0:02:17 > 0:02:22- So what are you hoping's going to come up?- Anything prior to 1970 would be nice.
0:02:22 > 0:02:23- Anything?! - LAUGHTER
0:02:23 > 0:02:25Anything? World politics...?
0:02:25 > 0:02:30No, probably not world politics, although I do remember Winston Churchill.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34Very good. Well, we'll keep our fingers crossed.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38Let's hope something prior to 1970 comes up.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40And finally we've got Ray and Elly.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42- How do you two know each other? - We're father and daughter.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Do you do lots of things together? Do you do quizzes together?
0:02:45 > 0:02:50We do quizzes together, yeah. We have a special quiz night on Mondays. When I come home from work,
0:02:50 > 0:02:53we do three or four quizzes together on Monday nights.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57Fantastic. We'll find out more about all of you throughout the show.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59There is only one more person for me to introduce.
0:02:59 > 0:03:04He's an encyclopaedia of obscure facts and figures - he's my pointless friend, Richard!
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Hiya. WHOOPING
0:03:08 > 0:03:11- There we are. - Lovely to be back, isn't it?
0:03:11 > 0:03:14- Isn't it? - Lovely to have Nosheel and John back.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17- It's been a very long time since we saw them last.- It has.
0:03:17 > 0:03:22So very best of luck on this one, guys. Lovely to have Whiskey And Lace in the house.
0:03:22 > 0:03:27But I have to say, I'm going to tip the hard rockers Yvonne and Doreen to win the show.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29LAUGHTER
0:03:29 > 0:03:30Oh, that's us gone.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34Very good indeed. Well, we know what happens when Richard tips anyone...
0:03:34 > 0:03:38OK, well, we put all our questions to 100 people before the show.
0:03:38 > 0:03:43But this is Pointless, so we are after the obscure answers that those 100 people DIDN'T get.
0:03:43 > 0:03:48The fewer people who got the answer, the fewer points awarded... the better your chance of winning.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51All our players need to do is score as few points as they possibly can.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53What everyone is looking for is a pointless answer
0:03:53 > 0:03:58that none of our 100 people gave, and each time that happens, we will add 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:03:58 > 0:04:04No-one won the jackpot at the end of last series, so we will add another £1,000 to that total.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06So today's jackpot starts off at...
0:04:10 > 0:04:11WHOOPING
0:04:15 > 0:04:17OK, let's play Pointless.
0:04:22 > 0:04:27OK, in the first round each of you must give me one answer, and you cannot confer with your partner.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Whichever team has the highest score at the end of the round
0:04:30 > 0:04:33will be eliminated, so be very careful that that's not you.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37If anyone gives me an incorrect answer, they will score the maximum of 100 points.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40OK. Our first category this afternoon is...
0:04:44 > 0:04:45Air travel.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first and who's going to go second.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51THEY WHISPER
0:04:52 > 0:04:54And whoever's going first please step up to the podium.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:05:05 > 0:05:08..as they could. Richard?
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Yeah, quite a tricky start to the new series.
0:05:10 > 0:05:15We're looking for any international airline that flies to international destinations from Heathrow.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18That's as verified by Heathrow's website at the start of 2011.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20There are lots - I gave up counting at 80 -
0:05:20 > 0:05:26and there are over 40 pointless answers here, so see if you can get some of those at home.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Right, Roxx and Myth -
0:05:29 > 0:05:34before the show, you all drew lots and you get to go first. So, Roxx...
0:05:34 > 0:05:38I'm thinking all the holidays I've been on have been to
0:05:38 > 0:05:41Spain - lads' holidays - so I'm not really well travelled.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44So international airlines...
0:05:44 > 0:05:48I might go for something that's not too far away
0:05:48 > 0:05:51but it's international, an Irish one I think...
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Aer Lingus? Is that Irish?
0:05:53 > 0:05:56- You're going to go for Aer Lingus. - Aer Lingus.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59You're hoping to score as few points as possible with this, Roxx.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Let's see if it is right, and if it is, how many people said Aer Lingus.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06It's right, Roxx.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10Down it goes.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14APPLAUSE
0:06:16 > 0:06:17Aer Lingus scores you 13 points.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22It's a right answer and it's a good answer.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Founded by the Irish Government in 1936, Aer Lingus.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29I hope you've got as interesting a fact as that for every airline!
0:06:29 > 0:06:35If you're interested in when airlines were founded, and by whom, then stick around.
0:06:35 > 0:06:36LAUGHTER
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Very good indeed. Right, Nosheel.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Have you flown a lot?
0:06:42 > 0:06:43Relatively so, yeah.
0:06:43 > 0:06:50I think I'm going to go for one of our favourite European friends, and go for Lufthansa.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54Lufthansa. OK, again you're hoping to score as few points as possible.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58Let's see if Lufthansa is correct, and if it is, how many people said it.
0:07:00 > 0:07:01It's right.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08APPLAUSE
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Who founded Lufthansa, and when?!
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Well, it was founded in the 1920s...
0:07:18 > 0:07:21and it was er... founded by the Germans.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Very good indeed. Good answer, Nosheel.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Scored you 23.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28OK, so, Yvonne. Have you flown out of Heathrow a lot?
0:07:28 > 0:07:31I have flown out of Heathrow. Not a lot, but...
0:07:31 > 0:07:34What's your favourite destination you've flown to out of Heathrow?
0:07:34 > 0:07:37- Las Vegas.- Ohhh!- I love it.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40- How many times have you been to Vegas?- Three.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42And maybe if you win...
0:07:42 > 0:07:46- I'd like to go again.- ..you can take all your winnings, and lose them.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48LAUGHTER
0:07:48 > 0:07:51OK. So - an airline that flies from Heathrow.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Well, I think I'll go for Air China.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58Air China. Let's see if that's right, you're hoping to score as few points as possible...
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Let's see how many people said it. Air China.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06It's right.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09It's right...
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Down it goes, best answer yet -
0:08:12 > 0:08:13it's pointless, well done!
0:08:13 > 0:08:15CHEERING
0:08:15 > 0:08:16I don't believe it!
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Congratulations, Yvonne -
0:08:18 > 0:08:21Air China is a pointless answer,
0:08:21 > 0:08:23it scores you nothing
0:08:23 > 0:08:28and it adds £250 to today's jackpot, taking the total up to £4,000.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31Very well done, Yvonne!
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Very good indeed.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37What a lovely start to the series, that's brilliant.
0:08:37 > 0:08:42It's one of the biggest airlines in the world, but nobody of our 100 mentioned it in their 100 seconds.
0:08:42 > 0:08:43Very good. Well done.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Now then - Ray. It comes to you.
0:08:47 > 0:08:48- I'm struggling a little bit. - Are you?
0:08:48 > 0:08:52Yeah. All I can think of are pretty obvious.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56So I think I'm going to go with Qantas.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59OK. Is it correct, and if it is, how many people said it?
0:09:02 > 0:09:03It's right.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09APPLAUSE
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Qantas - very popular airline, scores you 39 points. Richard?
0:09:14 > 0:09:17It's Queensland And Northern Territories Aerial Services.
0:09:17 > 0:09:18- Aerial...?- Qantas.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22Aerial services, yeah, they started out fixing people's tellies.
0:09:22 > 0:09:23LAUGHTER
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Then up on a roof one day someone went, "What is THAT...?"
0:09:28 > 0:09:30LAUGHTER
0:09:32 > 0:09:36We're halfway through the round, so let's take a look at the scores as they stand.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Yvonne, Doreen, a pointless answer from you.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43You're looking fantastic at the end of that round,
0:09:43 > 0:09:45not a point on your board.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Then we come to Roxx and Myth -
0:09:47 > 0:09:49wonderful answer there from Roxx, Aer Lingus.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53Then we come to Nosheel's answer, 23,
0:09:53 > 0:09:56beginning to look a little bit dangerous there.
0:09:56 > 0:09:57Elly, you have your work cut out.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Let's hope you've done lots of flying out of Heathrow
0:10:00 > 0:10:02so you can make up for Ray's high score -
0:10:02 > 0:10:04it wasn't THAT high, 39, but I'm afraid you are
0:10:04 > 0:10:06higher than everyone else.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10OK, can the second players please take their places at the podium.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18We are looking for international airlines that fly from Heathrow.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Now, Elly...
0:10:20 > 0:10:24you are the highest scorers at the moment. You need to score low.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26I'm hoping that Gulf Air will be
0:10:26 > 0:10:29- a lesser known airline. - Gulf Air...
0:10:29 > 0:10:33- OK, Gulf Air. - Very nice...but lesser known.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Very good. Gulf Air. Other airlines are available.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37LAUGHTER
0:10:37 > 0:10:40Let's see if it's correct, and if it is, how many people said Gulf Air.
0:10:42 > 0:10:43It's right.
0:10:49 > 0:10:50Oh!
0:10:50 > 0:10:52APPLAUSE
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Fantastic low score there.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Scores you 6, takes your total up to 45.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01Richard, Gulf Air.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03It's owned by the kingdom of Bahrain, Gulf Air.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05OK, thanks very much.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07So, then - Doreen.
0:11:07 > 0:11:08We're going to try
0:11:08 > 0:11:11Scandinavian Airlines.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Scandinavian Airlines.
0:11:13 > 0:11:14You are currently on nothing.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19You only have to score 44 or less at this stage
0:11:19 > 0:11:22to ensure you're in the next round. Scandinavian Airlines -
0:11:22 > 0:11:24you're absolutely confident...?
0:11:24 > 0:11:27- No, I'm not confident, dear, but we'll try it. - LAUGHTER
0:11:27 > 0:11:29OK...
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Scandinavian Airlines.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37OK, there is your red line, Doreen - if you come below that red line
0:11:37 > 0:11:40with Scandinavian Airlines, you are through to the next round.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46Let's see if it's correct and if it is, how many people said Scandinavian Airlines.
0:11:48 > 0:11:49It's right.
0:11:52 > 0:11:53Oh - it's good...
0:11:55 > 0:11:56Oh, very good indeed!
0:11:56 > 0:11:58APPLAUSE
0:11:58 > 0:11:59Very well done, Doreen.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02Scandinavian Airlines scores you 2,
0:12:02 > 0:12:03giving you a total of 2.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Richard, Scandinavian Airlines.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Yeah, that's the way to play the game.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Scandinavian Airlines, or SAS,
0:12:09 > 0:12:12fly out of Heathrow. Very well done.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14The national carrier of Denmark, Sweden and Norway.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16Thank you very much, Richard.
0:12:16 > 0:12:20We are looking for international airlines that fly from Heathrow. Now then, John...
0:12:20 > 0:12:23- Yes.- You're on 23, not a bad score at all.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Elly and Ray are on 45.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29If you can score 21 or less, John...
0:12:29 > 0:12:31One that keeps popping up, is
0:12:31 > 0:12:34- Garuda.- Is what?
0:12:34 > 0:12:36- Garuda Airlines. - CHUCKLING
0:12:36 > 0:12:40- Garuda Airlines.- I can't think where I know it, or where it goes to.
0:12:40 > 0:12:41Maybe it's in a book.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44LAUGHTER
0:12:44 > 0:12:46OK, here's your red line.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48If Garuda Airlines gets you below it
0:12:48 > 0:12:50you are through to the next round.
0:12:50 > 0:12:55I think you're either going to crash down in flames here, or it's going to be a moment of great glory.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59Let's see if it's correct, and if it is let's see how many people said Garuda Airlines.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05AUDIENCE: Ohhh!
0:13:05 > 0:13:10Bad luck, John. Unfortunately Garuda is a wrong answer, which means that
0:13:10 > 0:13:15you score the maximum of 100 points, taking your total up to 123.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Richard, Garuda...
0:13:17 > 0:13:19I only know a couple of things about Garuda Airlines.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21One, most importantly,
0:13:21 > 0:13:23it doesn't fly into Heathrow, or from Heathrow.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25It's an Indonesian airline - so Sydney for example,
0:13:25 > 0:13:28you may well have come across it there.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31Well, John, I'm afraid that puts your score into the red.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34You are on 123,
0:13:34 > 0:13:37and you are going to be our high scorers at the end of this round
0:13:37 > 0:13:39because even if Myth and Roxx
0:13:39 > 0:13:43score 100 points they won't overtake your score, I'm sorry to say,
0:13:43 > 0:13:44so we'll be saying goodbye to you.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47Now, Myth. You have a free hand here.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Whatever you say,
0:13:49 > 0:13:53you are through to the next round. But a chance maybe to score a pointless answer...
0:13:53 > 0:13:56I would love to have a punt and try and get some extra money,
0:13:56 > 0:14:00but I'm coming up with nothing but painfully obvious answers.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03So I'm going to play it safe and take a punt with Air France.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Let's see how many people said that.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08No red line for you obviously cos you are through.
0:14:15 > 0:14:16APPLAUSE
0:14:17 > 0:14:20Air France scores you 29, takes your total up to 42.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22So Richard, Air France.
0:14:22 > 0:14:26One of the highest answers of all, but a very safe answer.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29Let's take a look at some of the pointless answers -
0:14:29 > 0:14:30I won't go through all 40.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33Air China we heard was a pointless answer.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36Iran Air. That's er...from Iran.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38LAUGHTER
0:14:38 > 0:14:41Jat Airways, which is the Serbian national airline -
0:14:41 > 0:14:44it stands for Jugoslovenski Aerotransport,
0:14:44 > 0:14:46but I don't need to tell YOU that...
0:14:46 > 0:14:50Kingfisher Airlines, which is Indian. Libyan Arab Airlines.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52Olympic Air, that's a Greek airline.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55Royal Air Maroc, that's Morocco.
0:14:55 > 0:14:56Sri Lankan Airlines,
0:14:56 > 0:14:58and Syrian Air, which is
0:14:58 > 0:15:02the subject of the travellers' quiz, Who Wants To Be On Syrian Air?
0:15:02 > 0:15:03LAUGHTER
0:15:03 > 0:15:06Let's take a look at the er... I'm so sorry.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09Let's take a look at the top three answers,
0:15:09 > 0:15:11these are the ones that the most people in our 100 said.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14Qantas, which scored 39.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17In second place was Virgin Atlantic, that would have scored you 57.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20- What do you think was top? - British Airways.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23British Airways with 86.
0:15:23 > 0:15:24Thanks very much, Richard.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28So at the end of Round One, the losing pair with the highest score,
0:15:28 > 0:15:30I'm afraid it's Nosheel And John.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32What have you learnt? What will you be taking
0:15:32 > 0:15:34to the next quiz show that you do?
0:15:34 > 0:15:39I need to learn the difference between England and Australia.
0:15:39 > 0:15:40Well, yeah...
0:15:40 > 0:15:44But you'll be sticking as a team, I'm sure, won't you, for future quizzes?
0:15:44 > 0:15:46We may no longer speak to each other after this...
0:15:46 > 0:15:48LAUGHTER
0:15:49 > 0:15:52Well, listen, you've been fantastic contestants,
0:15:52 > 0:15:54thanks so much for playing. Thank you.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59But for the remaining three pairs it's now time for Round Two.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06Now, there's only room for two pairs in the head-to-head,
0:16:06 > 0:16:09so one team is going to be leaving us at the end of this round.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11You just have to make sure it's not you.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13OK, the category for Round Two is...
0:16:15 > 0:16:21Can you all decide in your pairs who is going to go first, and who is going to go second.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23THEY WHISPER
0:16:23 > 0:16:25And whoever's going first, step up to the podium.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32And the question concerns...
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Film Songs And Their Films.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41In this round we'll show you a list of songs from films.
0:16:41 > 0:16:45We asked 100 people to tell us which films they are from. Richard.
0:16:45 > 0:16:51We're going to show you six songs on each pass, all of which were nominated for an Academy Award.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53The more obscure answers will score you fewer points,
0:16:53 > 0:16:56the easier ones will score you very high points.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59If you give us an incorrect answer, you'll score 100 points.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03See if you can get all six of them at home - and I promise you there are some from before 1970.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05LAUGHTER
0:17:05 > 0:17:07So we're looking for the films that these songs are from...
0:17:24 > 0:17:25I'll read those one more time...
0:17:32 > 0:17:36OK. So there are the six songs, you need to give me the film.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39OK, Myth...
0:17:39 > 0:17:40Any of these on your set list?
0:17:40 > 0:17:44Er...not at the last count, no.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47OK... Myth, from that list,
0:17:47 > 0:17:50which is the most obscure one
0:17:50 > 0:17:51you reckon you know?
0:17:51 > 0:17:53I'm going to play it safe -
0:17:53 > 0:17:54well, safe-ish...
0:17:54 > 0:17:58and I'm going to go with Lose Yourself, from 8 Mile.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01Lose Yourself from 8 Mile.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03Let's see if Myth is right.
0:18:07 > 0:18:11Down it goes, Myth. I think that was a very, very good one to pick...
0:18:13 > 0:18:15APPLAUSE
0:18:16 > 0:18:19That's a great answer. Lose Yourself, 8 Mile. Richard...
0:18:19 > 0:18:23Yeah, very good answer. Well played. It won the film's only Oscar.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25That's a fantastic answer.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Now, Doreen...
0:18:27 > 0:18:30You now have five left on the table.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34I reckon you might know some quite obscure ones here.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Well, they're all very popular,
0:18:36 > 0:18:39I know them all. But I'm going to go with
0:18:39 > 0:18:40(I've Had) The Time Of My Life
0:18:40 > 0:18:43- from Dirty Dancing.- OK, Doreen.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46The Time Of My Life from Dirty Dancing -
0:18:46 > 0:18:48let's see if it's right.
0:18:54 > 0:18:5560. Wow...
0:18:55 > 0:18:57A very well-known song.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59That scores you 60, Doreen.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02- Richard.- That's a huge score, isn't it? Very surprising.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes, from Dirty Dancing.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07It won the Oscar in 1988.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11Thanks very much, Richard. OK - so now, Elly...
0:19:11 > 0:19:13Mm-hm.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16Elly, there are now four songs left on the board.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18Do you know which films they come from?
0:19:18 > 0:19:20I know which songs
0:19:20 > 0:19:21THREE of them come from,
0:19:21 > 0:19:25but I think that of the ones I know
0:19:25 > 0:19:27hopefully the lowest points is going to be
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Nobody Does It Better from The Spy Who Loved Me.
0:19:29 > 0:19:30From The Spy Who Loved Me -
0:19:30 > 0:19:32let's see if that's right, Elly,
0:19:32 > 0:19:35and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39It's right!
0:19:41 > 0:19:42Very good...
0:19:46 > 0:19:47APPLAUSE
0:19:47 > 0:19:50The Spy Who Loved Me scores you 8. Richard...
0:19:52 > 0:19:55Yeah, another very good answer. Carly Simon, of course, from 1977,
0:19:55 > 0:19:56from The Spy Who Loved Me.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Let's see the rest of the board. We've already had the biggest answer
0:19:59 > 0:20:02which was (I've Had) The Time Of My Life.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05Over The Rainbow was of course from The Wizard Of Oz,
0:20:05 > 0:20:07would have scored you a fairly hefty 57.
0:20:07 > 0:20:11(Everything I Do) I Do It For You was from Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves,
0:20:11 > 0:20:13also would have been a big score, 47,
0:20:13 > 0:20:15and When You Wish Upon A Star - it was Pinocchio -
0:20:15 > 0:20:17would have scored you 18.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20So we had the biggest answer and the two smallest answers in that round.
0:20:20 > 0:20:25OK, we're halfway through the round, so let's take a look at the scores as they stand.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28Myth - fabulous low score, 7.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Similarly Elly -
0:20:30 > 0:20:31lovely low score there, 8 points.
0:20:31 > 0:20:36- Doreen, you knew them all, I think. Most of them, anyway.- I did, yes.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39I mean, who'd have known that that was going to be the high scoring one?
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Yvonne, you'll have to find a really low score.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45OK, can the second players please take their places at the podium.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53We're going to put six more songs on the board, and here they are...
0:21:05 > 0:21:06I'll read those again...
0:21:12 > 0:21:15Remember, we are looking for the films that these songs are from, and
0:21:15 > 0:21:19you're trying to find the one that the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:21:19 > 0:21:20So, Ray...
0:21:20 > 0:21:22you are 52 points
0:21:22 > 0:21:25behind Yvonne and Doreen.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29What does that board look to you like?
0:21:29 > 0:21:32I'm going for one of my favourite songs -
0:21:32 > 0:21:34Moon River's from Breakfast At Tiffany's.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38Moon River, Breakfast at Tiffany's -
0:21:38 > 0:21:42Roxx is nodding hard at that, it's his favourite film.
0:21:42 > 0:21:43On the tour bus,
0:21:43 > 0:21:45they play it on a loop...
0:21:45 > 0:21:47GIGGLING
0:21:47 > 0:21:48There is your red line -
0:21:48 > 0:21:51below that, you're through to the head-to-head.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54You are saying Moon River from Breakfast At Tiffany's.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57Let's see if that's right, and if it is let's see how many people said it.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04Very well done, Ray.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08Very well done.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11That scores you 14, takes your total up to 22.
0:22:11 > 0:22:12Richard, Moon River.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14Yeah, very well done, Ray.
0:22:14 > 0:22:18A great song, a great score seeing you through to the next round very safely.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20Won the Oscar in 1962.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23OK, very good. Moon River, well done, Ray.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Now, Yvonne.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27You're the front runners on 60.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30You have to score as low as you possibly can.
0:22:30 > 0:22:34Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head, I think,
0:22:34 > 0:22:37is from Butch Cassidy And the Sundance Kid.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40You're saying Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head,
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid. There's no red line for you
0:22:42 > 0:22:45as you're the front runners, the high scorers.
0:22:45 > 0:22:49Let's see if that's right and let's hope hardly anyone thought of it.
0:22:57 > 0:23:0033, that scores you, taking your total up to 93.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05- Richard, Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid.- Very good answer.
0:23:05 > 0:23:10It actually won the Best Song Oscar in 1970.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12Burt Bacharach, of course.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Burt Bacharach and Hal David, yeah.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17Indeed, there we are. OK, now then, Roxx.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19You're on 7. If you can score 85
0:23:19 > 0:23:23or less with your answer, you're through to the head-to-head.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26We're looking for the films that these songs have come from.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29I'm going to go for, I think it'll be less than 85,
0:23:29 > 0:23:31Circle Of Life, the Lion King.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Circle Of life, Lion King, you're saying.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36You're hoping that scores you less than 85.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38Here's your red line. If you get below that,
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Circle Of Life will see you through to the head-to-head.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44OK, let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:23:49 > 0:23:50It's right and good enough.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54Very good, 58.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59Takes your total up to 65. Richard...
0:23:59 > 0:24:03Yeah, very good knowledge of the Lion King for a hard rocker, I have to say. Very impressive!
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Let's have a look at the others.
0:24:05 > 0:24:11My Heart Will Go On, absolutely, was from Titanic but would have scored you a fairly hefty 66 points.
0:24:11 > 0:24:15- Do you know what Maniac is from? - Is it Flashdance?
0:24:15 > 0:24:16It's Flashdance, very well done.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18Would have scored you 10 points.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21- Now, Jai Ho is a pointless answer. - No!
0:24:21 > 0:24:24If you got it at home, well done. Would have scored you £250.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28It is of course from Slumdog Millionaire.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30OK, thank you, Richard.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33So at the end of Round Two, the losing pair with the highest score,
0:24:33 > 0:24:35I'm afraid it's Yvonne and Doreen.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38- AUDIENCE: Aw! - Dear, oh, dear.- Never mind.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42What are all the people in the ladies' club going to think of this?
0:24:43 > 0:24:48They'll be chucking bits of Victoria sponge at the telly as we speak.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51Voted off the committee, for definite.
0:24:51 > 0:24:52That's never going to happen!
0:24:52 > 0:24:58- Anyway, we'll see you again next time. You've been lovely contestants, thank you.- Thank you.
0:24:59 > 0:25:04For the remaining two pairs, things get even more exciting now as we enter the head-to-head.
0:25:04 > 0:25:08APPLAUSE AND CHEERS
0:25:10 > 0:25:13So, well done, Ray and Elly, Roxx and Myth.
0:25:13 > 0:25:17You've made it through to the head-to-head. Only one pair
0:25:17 > 0:25:20can make it through to today's final and play for the jackpot,
0:25:20 > 0:25:21which currently stands...
0:25:21 > 0:25:24at £4,000.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31You're going head-to-head on the best of three questions.
0:25:31 > 0:25:35For each question, each pair must give me one answer and you're now allowed to confer.
0:25:35 > 0:25:41All you have to do is come up with an answer that scores less than the other pair to win that question.
0:25:41 > 0:25:47The pair who get the best of three will be playing for today's jackpot. Right, let's play Pointless.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49APPLAUSE
0:25:49 > 0:25:52Here's your first question.
0:25:52 > 0:25:57We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:25:57 > 0:26:03as they could. Richard...
0:26:03 > 0:26:08OK, specifically we're looking for any person who has ever been married to one
0:26:08 > 0:26:12of Queen Elizabeth II's children, their first name and surname before they were married.
0:26:12 > 0:26:17There are six names on the list and we're looking for those people up to the start of 2011.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20Try it at home and see if you can get all six of them.
0:26:20 > 0:26:25OK, Ray and Elly, because you've played best throughout the show so far, you get to go first.
0:26:25 > 0:26:30We're looking for the names of royal spouses. What are you going to say?
0:26:32 > 0:26:34THEY CONFER
0:26:37 > 0:26:40The best one that we can think of is Sarah Ferguson.
0:26:40 > 0:26:44Sarah Ferguson, OK. Roxx and Myth...
0:26:44 > 0:26:48I'm not too confident on this but Phil tells me he's got three.
0:26:48 > 0:26:52- Yeah, and one of them's gone. Sarah Ferguson.- Only that one.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55There's the obvious one, Diana Spencer.
0:26:55 > 0:27:00The only other one I can think of, probably be our best shot, would be Camilla Parker Bowles
0:27:00 > 0:27:02and hope that people didn't remember her full surname.
0:27:02 > 0:27:06Camilla Parker Bowles. So we have Sarah Ferguson and Camilla Parker Bowles.
0:27:06 > 0:27:10Let's take them in the order they were given. Ray and Elly said Sarah Ferguson.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13Let's see how many people said that.
0:27:19 > 0:27:2235 for Sarah Ferguson.
0:27:26 > 0:27:31Roxx and Myth are going with Camilla Parker Bowles. Let's see how many people said that.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41Oh, it's good!
0:27:41 > 0:27:44Very good indeed, Roxx and Myth.
0:27:44 > 0:27:49So after the first question, it's 1-0 to Roxx and Myth.
0:27:49 > 0:27:54- Richard.- Well played, but there were three answers that would have beaten Camilla Parker Bowles.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57Many people at home will have got all of these, so let's take a look.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00Right at the bottom of the list, perhaps surprisingly,
0:28:00 > 0:28:03is Sophie Rhys-Jones, who married Edward in 1999.
0:28:03 > 0:28:07There's Anne's two husbands, Timothy Laurence, who she married in '92,
0:28:07 > 0:28:09and Mark Phillips, in '73.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11That would have scored you 24 points.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14Camilla Parker Bowles, 29, Sarah Ferguson, 35,
0:28:14 > 0:28:18and Diana Spencer, surprisingly low, 49 points.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21Thanks very much, Richard.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24So here is your second question, Ray and Elly.
0:28:24 > 0:28:29If Roxx and Myth get this one, they're through to the final.
0:28:29 > 0:28:33OK, we gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:28:37 > 0:28:39..as they could.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42Elements that are gases at room temperature. Richard...
0:28:42 > 0:28:45Yeah, we're looking for any element on the periodic table
0:28:45 > 0:28:49- that is a gas at room temperature. - Glad you're here!- Thanks!
0:28:49 > 0:28:50LAUGHTER
0:28:50 > 0:28:55OK, now Roxx and Myth, you go first on this one.
0:28:55 > 0:28:59- Right, well, I'm a science teacher. - Are you?!- Yes.
0:28:59 > 0:29:03- Well, you might have let... - Hold it, time out.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06- He's a science teacher!- Part-time.
0:29:08 > 0:29:13- You kept that one quiet.- You're not a science... Are you "Mr Roxx"?!
0:29:13 > 0:29:16Yeah, some kids call me that.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19- But they like the music so it's all right.- Very good.
0:29:19 > 0:29:23Um, yeah, we'll just... I'll go for fluorine.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25Fluorine.
0:29:25 > 0:29:30Right, Ray and Elly, we're looking for elements that are gases at room temperature.
0:29:30 > 0:29:35OK, I'm going to go with my GCSE knowledge of the noble gases
0:29:35 > 0:29:38and hope that means they are gases at room temperature, and say xenon.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40Xenon. Roxx likes xenon.
0:29:40 > 0:29:46- But does he like it because it's wrong?- He might like it because it's his favourite song on the set list!
0:29:46 > 0:29:48"Two, three, four...!"
0:29:48 > 0:29:50Sorry.
0:29:50 > 0:29:56OK...we have fluorine and we have xenon.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59Let's take them in the order they were given. Roxx and Myth
0:29:59 > 0:30:04went for fluorine. Let's see how many people said fluorine and if it's right.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08Apple for the teacher if it's right.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14Oh, it's good... Oh! Four points.
0:30:19 > 0:30:25Very well done, Roxx, I'm impressed. Ray and Elly have gone for xenon.
0:30:25 > 0:30:29You have to get four or lower
0:30:29 > 0:30:31to stay in the game.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34LAUGHTER
0:30:34 > 0:30:36OK, xenon, you said.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39Let's see how many people said xenon.
0:30:42 > 0:30:43It's right.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48Is it going to get down?
0:30:50 > 0:30:52Oh, my God!
0:30:58 > 0:31:00Ray, how impressed are you with your daughter?
0:31:00 > 0:31:05- I'm VERY impressed. Brilliant. - She was up against a Sir!
0:31:07 > 0:31:10OK, so no-one scores a point from that.
0:31:10 > 0:31:15- OK.- There will be a new question and a new category. But before that, Richard...
0:31:15 > 0:31:18There are only two answers that would have beaten the answers you gave us.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20Let's take a look at them...
0:31:20 > 0:31:25Radon, a radioactive chemical element, so don't accidentally put it in your bath.
0:31:25 > 0:31:26That would have scored you 2.
0:31:26 > 0:31:30Krypton would have scored you 2 as well.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33There's fluorine and xenon on 4. Chlorine 6, neon 14.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36Some of the big gases coming up now...
0:31:36 > 0:31:39HE READS OUT THE LIST
0:31:41 > 0:31:43..and our old friend, oxygen...
0:31:43 > 0:31:46- Yours and mine.- ..with 76.
0:31:46 > 0:31:50Right, well, here is your third question.
0:31:50 > 0:31:52The pressure's not off, Ray and Elly.
0:31:52 > 0:31:56If Roxx and Myth win this, they're through to the jackpot final.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59You have to win this one to stay in the game.
0:31:59 > 0:32:03We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:32:05 > 0:32:07..as they could.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10Chart-topping Eurovision Winners. Richard...
0:32:10 > 0:32:14We're looking for any act which has won the Eurovision Song Contest then gone on to have
0:32:14 > 0:32:18a number one UK hit with that same song, up to the start of 2011.
0:32:18 > 0:32:22We're looking for the name of the act rather than the name of the song.
0:32:22 > 0:32:25Ray and Elly, what are you going to go for?
0:32:25 > 0:32:30Unfortunately, we can only think of a few that fit into this category, and we're going to say Sandie Shaw.
0:32:30 > 0:32:33- Sandie Shaw.- Yeah.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35Roxx and Myth...
0:32:35 > 0:32:38We're going to have a punt with Katrina And The Waves.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40Katrina And The Waves, you're going to say.
0:32:40 > 0:32:44So we have Sandie Shaw, we have Katrina And The Waves.
0:32:44 > 0:32:49Let's see if Sandie Shaw is right and if it is how many people said Sandie Shaw, Ray and Elly.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57It's a good answer, look at that.
0:32:57 > 0:32:5917 for Sandie Shaw.
0:33:02 > 0:33:07- I wasn't brave enough to go for Katrina And The Waves.- Roxx and Myth have gone for Katrina And The Waves.
0:33:07 > 0:33:11Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many people said that.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15Oh!
0:33:15 > 0:33:17Bad luck.
0:33:17 > 0:33:22That's an incorrect answer. So, at the end of our thrilling third question, it is 1-1.
0:33:22 > 0:33:27- Richard...- Katrina And The Waves did win Eurovision with Love Shine A Light,
0:33:27 > 0:33:31but it only got to number three in the charts, it wasn't a number one single.
0:33:31 > 0:33:34Let's take a look at all the answers there.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36There are four answers that would have won it.
0:33:36 > 0:33:40Nicole, the German girl who sang A Little Peace, 2 points.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43Dana, 6 points, Johnny Logan 8 points,
0:33:43 > 0:33:46of course, with What's Another Year.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49Brotherhood of Man, Save All Your Kisses For Me, 13.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51Sandie Shaw there with 17, Puppet On A String.
0:33:51 > 0:33:56Bucks Fizz, Making Your Mind Up, 37, and Abba, Waterloo, 58 points.
0:33:56 > 0:34:01- Very well done if you got all of them.- OK, thank you, Richard. Here is your next question.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03Whoever wins this question
0:34:03 > 0:34:06is through to the final.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:34:10 > 0:34:12..as they could.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15Tricky one. They're easy to name, but which is the most obscure?
0:34:15 > 0:34:21We're looking for any of the six different chess pieces that are on the board at the start of a game.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23Which of those is the most obscure?
0:34:23 > 0:34:26Roxx and Myth to go first.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33We think the most obscure one...
0:34:33 > 0:34:37We think we've got the lot but we're going to go with rook
0:34:37 > 0:34:39as our answer.
0:34:39 > 0:34:44OK, you're going for rook. Ray and Elly, rook is off the board.
0:34:44 > 0:34:49We don't want to say king, queen or pawn, so I think we're going to go with bishop.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52We have rook and we have bishop.
0:34:53 > 0:34:59OK, let's see how rook fared. Roxx and Myth said rook. Let's see how many people said that.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03AUDIENCE: Oh!
0:35:03 > 0:35:07- No way!- Well, they're all going to be high-scoring, if you think about it.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09Ray and Elly have gone for bishop.
0:35:09 > 0:35:13Let's see how many people said bishop.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16This is to get through to the final.
0:35:16 > 0:35:18If you beat 96...
0:35:21 > 0:35:23You've done it! 80.
0:35:23 > 0:35:27APPLAUSE AND CHEERS
0:35:33 > 0:35:36So, after four questions,
0:35:36 > 0:35:40Ray and Elly are through to the final, 2-1. Richard...
0:35:40 > 0:35:43High-scoring category. Bishop was the best answer you could have given.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46Let's take a look at all six of them and how they scored...
0:35:46 > 0:35:49HE READS OUT LOWEST ITEMS ON LIST
0:35:51 > 0:35:54You were right to avoid king, queen and pawn. They would have scored
0:35:54 > 0:36:0199, 99, and - that rarest of things on Pointless, we've seen it three times ever - queen got 100.
0:36:01 > 0:36:07Thanks, Richard. So, the losing pair at the end of the head-to-head, I'm afraid, it's Roxx and Myth.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10- You did so well there. - We were doing all right, yeah.
0:36:10 > 0:36:15Really impressive head-to-head round. That was fantastic. Very impressed by fluorine.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18You'll be back next time, so we'll get to play more with you then,
0:36:18 > 0:36:23- which will be fun, but thanks very much, meanwhile, you've been great contestants.- Cheers.
0:36:25 > 0:36:31But, for Ray and Elly, it's now time for our Pointless final and the chance to win our jackpot of £4,000.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34APPLAUSE AND CHEERS
0:36:39 > 0:36:41So, massive congratulations, Ray and Elly.
0:36:41 > 0:36:47You've seen off all the competition and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50APPLAUSE AND CHEERS
0:36:54 > 0:36:57You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:36:57 > 0:37:03At the end of today's show, in case you'd forgotten, the jackpot stands at £4,000.
0:37:06 > 0:37:07The rules are very simple.
0:37:07 > 0:37:12To win the money, all you have to do is find a pointless answer, an answer no-one else could think of.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14We've had one pointless answer on the show today,
0:37:14 > 0:37:18you only need to find one more and you'll go home with all that money.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21First you have to choose a category from these three options.
0:37:21 > 0:37:23And you may have...
0:37:23 > 0:37:25Oh, God!
0:37:30 > 0:37:32Not boxing.
0:37:32 > 0:37:36- Not boxing.- Fashion, up to you. Otherwise let's try Literary Awards.
0:37:36 > 0:37:37Let's try Literary Awards.
0:37:37 > 0:37:40Literary Awards. OK, well,
0:37:40 > 0:37:45we gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:37:50 > 0:37:51..as they could.
0:37:51 > 0:37:55Booker Prize Winners Born Outside The UK. Richard's going to fill us in.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58Up to and including the 2010 prize,
0:37:58 > 0:38:02there have been 22 Booker Prize winners who have been born outside of the UK.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05We're looking for any one of them. Very, very best of luck.
0:38:05 > 0:38:09OK. You now have up to one minute to come up with three answers,
0:38:09 > 0:38:14and all you need to win that £4,000 is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17Your 60 seconds start now.
0:38:17 > 0:38:19- Good Lord.- Right.- What are you got?
0:38:19 > 0:38:23Anita Brookner won it for Hotel Du Lac, I don't know where she was born.
0:38:23 > 0:38:26Monica Ali won it for Brick Lane.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29I'm not sure, she might have done.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32Jung Chang, did she win for Wild Swans?
0:38:34 > 0:38:37I don't remember that, don't remember that.
0:38:38 > 0:38:43McEwan, Alex... Ian McEwan won for Hotel...
0:38:43 > 0:38:46No, for Amsterdam, but I don't know where he was born.
0:38:47 > 0:38:53Whoever wrote Remains Of The Day, it's an Indian name, but I can't remember...
0:38:53 > 0:38:55Nor do I. Who wrote The Life Of Pi?
0:38:55 > 0:38:57Yeah, that was a Booker Prize.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59- What's he called?- I don't know.
0:38:59 > 0:39:03Oh, God. I can't think of that one at all.
0:39:03 > 0:39:07- Let's try Anita Brookner cos she might have been born... - OK, and let's try Monica Ali.
0:39:07 > 0:39:12- OK, for Brick Lane.- Um... And have we got anything else?
0:39:12 > 0:39:17- If we haven't, we'll just have to say Jung Chang.- Yeah, for Wild Swans. Let's do those three.
0:39:17 > 0:39:20OK, your minute is up.
0:39:20 > 0:39:25We were looking for Booker Prize Winners Born Outside The UK, I now need your three answers.
0:39:25 > 0:39:31We're going to say, "June" or sort of "Juang" Chang for Wild Swans,
0:39:31 > 0:39:37- Monica Ali, and...- Anita Brookner.
0:39:37 > 0:39:41OK, of those three, which do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:39:41 > 0:39:45The only one I know for sure was Anita Brookner, she won for Hotel Du Lac.
0:39:45 > 0:39:49- Anita Brookner. OK, so we'll put her third.- Yeah.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51And which is your least confident?
0:39:51 > 0:39:54- Maybe Monica Ali. - OK, so we'll put Monica Ali first.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56Let's put those up on the board,
0:39:56 > 0:40:01this was the answer you were least confident in being pointless, Monica Ali.
0:40:01 > 0:40:06Next came Jung Chang.
0:40:06 > 0:40:13And, finally, we had Anita Brookner, your most confident answer.
0:40:13 > 0:40:18OK. There they are. How do they look on the board?
0:40:18 > 0:40:23- OK.- Right, we are looking for Winners Of The Booker Prize Born Outside The UK.
0:40:23 > 0:40:27This was your least confident answer. You only need to find
0:40:27 > 0:40:29one pointless answer to win that £4,000 jackpot.
0:40:29 > 0:40:33OK, so let's see how many people said Monica Ali.
0:40:35 > 0:40:38This for £4,000.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44AUDIENCE: Aw!
0:40:44 > 0:40:48Unfortunately, that was an incorrect answer, therefore not pointless.
0:40:48 > 0:40:51You only have two more chances to win today's jackpot.
0:40:51 > 0:40:54£4,000, what would you spend it on?
0:40:54 > 0:40:57- A family holiday.- Mm-hm.
0:40:57 > 0:41:01Well, let's hope Jung Chang will set you on your way.
0:41:01 > 0:41:04This has to be pointless for you to win the jackpot.
0:41:04 > 0:41:07For £4,000, let's see how many people said Jung Chang.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13Ah!
0:41:13 > 0:41:18- I thought so.- Bad luck. That is also an incorrect answer.
0:41:18 > 0:41:22You only have one more chance to win today's jackpot.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24How are you feeling about Anita Brookner?
0:41:24 > 0:41:27That Fashion was looking pretty good!
0:41:27 > 0:41:31OK, we are looking for Winners Of The Booker Prize Born Outside The UK.
0:41:31 > 0:41:34You said this was the answer you were most confident in.
0:41:34 > 0:41:38This has to be pointless. Anita Brookner, there it is.
0:41:38 > 0:41:43This is your last shot at today's jackpot of £4,000. Anita Brookner.
0:41:47 > 0:41:50Ooh! Bad luck!
0:41:57 > 0:42:02Unfortunately, you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer, so I'm afraid you don't win
0:42:02 > 0:42:07today's jackpot of £4,000, which rolls over to the next show. But you have been amazing contestants
0:42:07 > 0:42:12and you do of course get to take home our Pointless trophy. Very important.
0:42:15 > 0:42:20- So, Richard, what were the pointless answers?- That was really tough luck. They were three pretty good answers,
0:42:20 > 0:42:25all slightly wrong for different reasons. Anita Brookner won it, but she was born in the UK.
0:42:25 > 0:42:31Monica Ali was born in Bangladesh but was only nominated for the Booker, she never actually won it.
0:42:31 > 0:42:35Jung Chang was never nominated. There are some names on the board that will annoy you a bit.
0:42:35 > 0:42:39There are some you could have got. Ben Okri won for The Famished Road.
0:42:39 > 0:42:44DBC Pierre won in the year that Monica Ali was nominated for Vernon God Little.
0:42:44 > 0:42:48Iris Murdoch, of course, is from Dublin, so she'd have been a pointless answer.
0:42:48 > 0:42:50Very well done if you got those at home.
0:42:50 > 0:42:53JM Coetzee won it twice.
0:42:53 > 0:42:56Kazuo Ishiguro, Remains Of The Day, would have been a great answer,
0:42:56 > 0:43:00and Margaret Atwood was a pointless answer. Xander...
0:43:00 > 0:43:04Unfortunately, we do have to say goodbye to you, Ray and Elly, but it's been wonderful having you
0:43:04 > 0:43:08on the show. You've been fantastic contestants. Thank you both so much.
0:43:11 > 0:43:17Nobody has won our jackpot today so it rolls over, which means on the next show we'll be playing for...
0:43:17 > 0:43:19£5,000.
0:43:22 > 0:43:26- Join us next time to see if someone could win it. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...- Goodbye.
0:43:26 > 0:43:29..and it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
0:43:32 > 0:43:36If you want to be on the next series of Pointless, you can find out more
