0:00:18 > 0:00:20CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:22 > 0:00:23Thank you very much.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26I'm Alexander Armstrong and a warm welcome to Pointless,
0:00:26 > 0:00:29the quiz show where popular answers mean nothing
0:00:29 > 0:00:31and obscure answers mean everything.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33- Let's meet today's players. - APPLAUSE
0:00:37 > 0:00:41So first we welcome back Sam and Lee who were on the show last time.
0:00:41 > 0:00:45Everyone gets two shots to reach the Pointless final and this is your second chance.
0:00:45 > 0:00:49- Remind us how you did. - Last time we got to the second round
0:00:49 > 0:00:51but missed out on getting to the head to head.
0:00:51 > 0:00:57- What did for you?- The category was on famous Toms.- Famous Toms.
0:00:57 > 0:01:03- Yes. What are you hoping for today, Sam?- Something on history or politics would be quite nice.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07History or politics. Very highbrow. Very best of luck to you.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10Next it's Andy and Phil. How do you two know each other?
0:01:10 > 0:01:12We've been together about 15 years.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16We had our civil partnership four years ago and we met at university.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Many congratulations for four years ago.
0:01:18 > 0:01:22- What are your subjects, Andy? - You'll be amazed to hear this
0:01:22 > 0:01:24but I'm quite good at food and drink.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26LAUGHTER
0:01:26 > 0:01:29Films, certain kinds of sport, but not all of them.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Very good. How about you, Phil?
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Well, food and drink would be good.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37Geography. Geography's probably my best subject so far.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41Geography, eh? Mm. Very best of luck to the pair of you.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44Next we welcome back Mike and Fran. You were on the show last time.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48- How did you do?- We were pleased to get to the head to head last time
0:01:48 > 0:01:52but we didn't have that pointless knowledge about BBC news broadcasts.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56That's my line. You just didn't have that pointless BBC news broadcast knowledge.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59You did incredibly well, though.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03- What do you do in your spare time, Fran? - I like anything to do with food -
0:02:03 > 0:02:05cooking it, eating it, watching it on TV.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08- I love celebrity chefs.- Very good. Does Fran cook for you, Mike?
0:02:08 > 0:02:12No, she's away at university, so it's the other way round.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16It tends to be that I'm the housekeeper since I retired.
0:02:16 > 0:02:22Fran has been known to refer to me as Cinderella on a number of occasions.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Every time they go out shopping or something,
0:02:25 > 0:02:27they leave Dad behind to do the housework.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Very best of luck to the pair of you.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32And finally we welcome Maxine and Matt.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36- How do you two know each other? - We've been married for six years
0:02:36 > 0:02:40and we first met about 10 years ago in a pub in Manchester.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42What would you like to come up this afternoon, Matt?
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Probably TV or film or sport. One of those would be OK.
0:02:45 > 0:02:50TV or film or sport. We have two academics amongst our eight.
0:02:50 > 0:02:51We have Mike, obviously,
0:02:51 > 0:02:55and we also have Andy, who lectures in film and media.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Little bit scary. Yeah!
0:02:57 > 0:02:59I just mention that in passing.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03Sharp intake of breath from the assembled company.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07- So watch your film and media, Matt. - Maybe sport.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10- Be careful what you wish for. - Maybe sport.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13- Maxine, how about you?- I'm thinking very lowbrow would be good for me.
0:03:13 > 0:03:18None of the highbrow politics. Geography is a no-no as well.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Well, very best of luck to you. We'll be finding out more about all of you.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24The final person to introduce
0:03:24 > 0:03:29sits in the crow's nest of obscurity, shouting "Facts ahoy!"
0:03:31 > 0:03:33- He's my Pointless friend. He's Richard.- Hello.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41- How are you today?- I'm very well.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44I bumped into someone this morning who watched the show
0:03:44 > 0:03:47and she said to me, "What is Alexander like?"
0:03:47 > 0:03:49And as always, I lied. I said he's very nice.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53But she said, "You know who he looks exactly like?"
0:03:53 > 0:03:55George W Bush.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58LAUGHTER
0:03:58 > 0:04:00- George W Bush?- George W Bush.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03- She said, "He's the spit of George W Bush."- George W Bush?
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Are you saying I have a folksy charm?
0:04:06 > 0:04:10Yeah. Yeah, maybe. That's a nice way of putting it.
0:04:10 > 0:04:11- Yeah. A folksy charm.- Yeah.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15We've got two returning pairs today, both of whom are very strong.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18It's going to be a very good game today
0:04:18 > 0:04:21and I didn't realise we had a media intellectual in our midst as well.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24- That's a terrifying thought. - Isn't it?
0:04:24 > 0:04:26- We must make sure we do everything correctly.- Mm.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30And watch the subtext of what you do as well as the text.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34Don't leave yourself wide open to a Marxist interpretation of your role as a game show host.
0:04:36 > 0:04:37- OK?- OK.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40- Because you're not going to come out of that well.- No.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43- OK, thank you for that. - No, it's an absolute pleasure.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Thanks for the heads up.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48OK, we put all our questions to 100 people before the show
0:04:48 > 0:04:51but this is Pointless, so we're after answers they didn't get.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54What everyone is trying to do is find a pointless answer,
0:04:54 > 0:04:57an answer that none of our 100 people gave
0:04:57 > 0:04:59and each time that happens we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03Nobody won the jackpot last time, so we add another £1,000 to that,
0:05:03 > 0:05:08so today's jackpot starts off at £5,750.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10WHOOPING
0:05:11 > 0:05:14Right, let's play Pointless.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21OK, so in the first round, each of you must give me one answer
0:05:21 > 0:05:23and you cannot confer with your partner.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27The team with the highest score at the end of the round will be eliminated.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Our first category this afternoon is:
0:05:33 > 0:05:37Decide who's going to go first, who's going to go second.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45OK, here's the question.
0:05:45 > 0:05:51We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many card games as they could.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55- Richard.- Yes, the correct answers in this round will all be games
0:05:55 > 0:05:59in which the main item of play is a deck of playing cards.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01A card game is another way of putting that.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03LAUGHTER
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Right, Sam and Lee, you all drew lots before the show
0:06:05 > 0:06:09and this afternoon, you get to go first.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11We're going to give you a choice of seven possible answers
0:06:11 > 0:06:13in each pass.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Your first set of seven answers reads like this.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37Right. At least one of those answers is pointless
0:06:37 > 0:06:40but there is at least one incorrect answer on that board
0:06:40 > 0:06:44and if you pick that, you will score the maximum of 100 points.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47- So, Sam.- There's one or two unusual ones
0:06:47 > 0:06:50that I'm pretty sure I have played at some point.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Spectacularly unusual ones.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56Erm, I seem to remember playing it at school for some reason,
0:06:56 > 0:06:58so I think I'll go for Newmarket.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00- Newmarket.- Yes.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03OK, let's see if Newmarket is a correct answer
0:07:03 > 0:07:05and how many people said Newmarket. Good luck, Sam.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10It's right!
0:07:13 > 0:07:15It's going to go quite a long way down, Sam.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18It is! Four points. Very well done.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Very good score.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26- So, Richard, Newmarket. - Well played, Sam. Good score.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30Newmarket is a game where you gamble on the cards in your hand
0:07:30 > 0:07:33against four cards laid out from another deck.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Now, then, Phil. Do you play a lot of card games?
0:07:36 > 0:07:41- Not massively. I have played Newmarket, which was the one I was going to pick.- Mm.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45So it's a choice between maybe trying to find something obscure
0:07:45 > 0:07:49or going safe and hoping Andy can pull something out of the bag.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51So I'm going to say whist.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54You're going to say whist. And wistfully, as well.
0:07:54 > 0:07:55- Yeah.- Very clever.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58There it is. Three up from the bottom. Whist.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01I think we know it's correct. Let's see how many people said it.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05It's correct.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11- Not bad.- That's OK. - 31. Not a bad score at all.
0:08:13 > 0:08:18- So whist scores 31, Richard. - Better than a wrong answer, so a good answer.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21It's a fairly basic trick-taking game.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Knockout whist you can play as well.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26OK, very well done, Phil. Now, then, Mike.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28We are looking for card games.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32I'm very tempted by two which I think could be pointless.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36I'm going to stick with one I think I played with the children
0:08:36 > 0:08:40- which is old maid.- Old maid. Let's find out.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Let's see if it's correct and how many people said old maid.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46Good luck.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48It's right.
0:08:53 > 0:08:54Very well done, Mike.
0:08:58 > 0:09:03- Very well done. That scores you six. Richard?- Well played, Mike.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06It's the game where around the table you have to put down pairs
0:09:06 > 0:09:09but there's only three queens in the pack,
0:09:09 > 0:09:13so whoever's left with the old maid, the queen of spades, is the loser.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Very good. Thank you, Richard.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Matt, you're the last person to have this board,
0:09:18 > 0:09:20so you can talk us through all of them, if you like.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24Blackjack is right but it will probably be the highest score.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27The other three, I've not heard of any of them.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30I can't believe someone's made up Grandpa Is Alive,
0:09:30 > 0:09:31so I'm tempted to go for that
0:09:31 > 0:09:37- but I'm going to go for blackjack. - OK. You're going for blackjack.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41Let's see if it's correct and how many people said blackjack.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44It's right!
0:09:47 > 0:09:48APPLAUSE
0:09:48 > 0:09:4942.
0:09:51 > 0:09:55- Mm, 42 points, Richard.- Yes, it's the biggest score on the board.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59It's a popular casino game, very similar to pontoon or vingt-et-un.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02Let's have a look at the rest of these.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05There's two incorrect answers there and one pointless answer.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08- What do you think's pointless? - Perudo is a dice game.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11It is. Liar's dice it's sometimes called.
0:10:11 > 0:10:16Grandpa Is Alive is a stupid, stupid name for a game
0:10:16 > 0:10:21but it has to be a card game, in which case All Fours must be the wrong one.
0:10:21 > 0:10:26You're 100% wrong. Grandpa Is Alive is actually a cocktail,
0:10:26 > 0:10:28a mixture of Kahlua, amaretto and vodka.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32- No wonder he's alive. Blimey. - I'm amazed he is.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36All Fours is a 17th century card game and it was a pointless answer.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40OK, well, thanks very much. Let's take a look at the scores.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43Sam and Lee, what a fabulous low score, there.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46Four points for Newmarket. Very well done.
0:10:46 > 0:10:50Mike and Fran, six. Fabulous answer there for old maid.
0:10:50 > 0:10:55And then we come to Phil and Andy, 31. Quite a high score, there.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58But then Matt helped you out by saying blackjack,
0:10:58 > 0:11:02which was a bit of a lifeline for you. So, yes, Matt on 42.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06Maxine, you're going to have to answer as cannily as you can
0:11:06 > 0:11:07on the next pass.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:11:13 > 0:11:16We're going to put seven more answers on the board.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18We are looking for card games, remember,
0:11:18 > 0:11:20and we have got:
0:11:29 > 0:11:30One more time.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41At least one of those answers is pointless
0:11:41 > 0:11:43and at least one is incorrect.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46Pick an incorrect one and you will score 100 points.
0:11:46 > 0:11:51- So, then, Maxine? - Well, I'm torn because answers that I think might be pointless
0:11:51 > 0:11:53probably a lot of people have heard of.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56There's two that I'm thinking, "Will I go for?"
0:11:56 > 0:11:59I'm going to go for baccarat.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03- You're going to go for baccarat. - Yes.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06There's no red line for you because you are the highest scorers.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10Let's see if baccarat is right and if so, how many people said it.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14Well done. It's right.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20Very good, Maxine!
0:12:25 > 0:12:28You did exactly what you needed to do, Maxine.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32Baccarat scored you just one. It takes you up to an impressive 43.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35- Richard?- That puts the pressure on the other three pairs.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38- It's a gambling game. James Bond's favourite game.- Exactly.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42So, Fran. Remember, we are looking for card games.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45Now, there's one that I've heard of
0:12:45 > 0:12:48but I'm really not sure if it's a card game or not.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52- Mm.- I don't think I'm going to risk it.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55It's just a case of choosing which could be the most obscure.
0:12:55 > 0:13:00- I'm going to go for rummy. - You're going to go for rummy?- Yeah.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03OK. If rummy gets you below
0:13:03 > 0:13:05that red line, you're through to the next round.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09Let's see if rummy is right and if it is, how people said it.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13It's right.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18- Oh!- 45 that's scored you.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21It takes your total up to 51.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25Don't worry, Fran, there are two more pairs yet to answer.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27- Rummy, Richard.- Yeah, a big score.
0:13:27 > 0:13:32- Rummy, it's collecting sets and runs of cards.- OK, thanks very much.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Now, Andy.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37Andy, Andy. Do you play a lot of cards?
0:13:37 > 0:13:40Erm, when I was younger. Not much these days.
0:13:40 > 0:13:46- What was your card game of choice? - I used to like crib or cribbage,
0:13:46 > 0:13:47which isn't up there.
0:13:47 > 0:13:51Well, I think this is going to be an OK answer
0:13:51 > 0:13:54but will it be good enough? We will have to find out.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56So I'm going to say canasta.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59OK, well, let's see if canasta is correct. There is your red line.
0:13:59 > 0:14:04If canasta gets you below that, you are through to the next round.
0:14:04 > 0:14:09Let's see if it's right and if it is, how many people said canasta.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11It's correct.
0:14:13 > 0:14:14Looks good.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16- Oh, it is good. 15. - APPLAUSE
0:14:19 > 0:14:23Very well done. These are tense times for Fran and Mike.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26Canasta takes your total up to 46. You're through to the next round.
0:14:26 > 0:14:31- Richard?- Good answer. It originated in South America in the 1940s.
0:14:31 > 0:14:35I think crib is the best card game there is. Cribbage.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38- Cribbage?- Yeah. Lots of poker players have started playing it.
0:14:38 > 0:14:44- Really?- Mm.- My favourite card game is bezique. No-one plays it.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47OK, so Lee, you are our last player. You can talk us through the board.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50You're on four, a fantastic low score from Sam.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53If you can score 46 or less with this answer,
0:14:53 > 0:14:55we say goodbye to Fran and Mike.
0:14:55 > 0:14:59If you score more than 46, we're saying goodbye to you and Sam.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03- I've heard of two of them. - Tell us what they are.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06I've heard of bridge, so that's going to be quite a high scoring one,
0:15:06 > 0:15:08so I won't go for that.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12and I'm pretty sure Go Fish is a card game.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15I've not heard of the other two, so I'm going to go for Go Fish.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20You're going to go for Go Fish.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23- OK. And you're confident that's a card game?- Yes.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27I think it's where there's a group of you playing cards
0:15:27 > 0:15:30and you have to ask the person next to you if they've got a card that you want
0:15:30 > 0:15:33and if they haven't, they say, "Go fish."
0:15:33 > 0:15:36OK. There's your red line. If Go Fish gets you below that red line,
0:15:36 > 0:15:38you are through to the next round.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42Let's see if it's right and if it is, how many people said Go Fish.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45It's right.
0:15:48 > 0:15:49It's right and it's good enough.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53Look at that. Eight points.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00Fabulous answer. Eight takes your total up to a winning 12.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04- Richard.- Yeah, Lee's explanation was exactly right, that's the game.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08That's tough luck on Mike and Fran. A low-scoring round, there.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10Let's take a look at the rest of the board.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12Bridge, obviously, is a high scorer,
0:16:12 > 0:16:14though only 37, so less than rummy, bridge.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18so if you'd said bridge, you'd be through to the next round.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21- Don't tell me that! - Sorry. You wouldn't be through.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23Jack in the pulpit and pinochle.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26Jack in the pulpit, as anyone knows, is a cocktail.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28LAUGHTER
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Jack in the pulpit is actually a plant,
0:16:31 > 0:16:34also known as the wild turnip or the bog onion.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37- That's the jack in the pulpit. - Bog onion?
0:16:37 > 0:16:40And pinochle, very well done if you got that at home,
0:16:40 > 0:16:43that's a pointless answer and it's a variant on bezique.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47- Is it?- Your favourite game. It's played a lot in American prisons.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49- Do they really?- They do, they do.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52At least I think that's what they're doing. They do.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56- Pinochle. Very popular.- Very good. Very good. Thank you, Richard.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59After round one, the losing pair with the highest score,
0:16:59 > 0:17:01I'm so sorry to say, it's Fran and Mike.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Rummy. It cost you dear.
0:17:03 > 0:17:07I thought Go Fish would score higher than rummy but obviously not.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09- What can we say?- I'll put it down to her upbringing.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13- I didn't introduce enough... - Not nearly enough card games.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17- Bezique as soon as we get back. - Bezique, it's a game for two.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20- You can play it on the train home. - Great.- There you are.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22So we have to say goodbye to you.
0:17:22 > 0:17:26This is your second chance, as well, but you've been wonderful.
0:17:26 > 0:17:30- Thank you for playing. - A pleasure.- Thank you. - APPLAUSE
0:17:30 > 0:17:34But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for round two.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40CHEERING
0:17:42 > 0:17:45Now, there's only room for two pairs in the head to head,
0:17:45 > 0:17:49so one of you three teams will be leaving at the end of this round.
0:17:49 > 0:17:53Try and make sure it's not you. The category for round two is:
0:17:55 > 0:17:59Decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second
0:17:59 > 0:18:02and whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08So our round two question this afternoon concerns:
0:18:14 > 0:18:17In this round we're about to show you a list of events
0:18:17 > 0:18:19all of which happened in the 20th century.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23We asked 100 people to tell us the years in which they occurred.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27- Richard?- We're going to show you six events in each pass.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30The more obscure the event, the fewer points you score.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33If you give us an incorrect answer, you will score 100 points.
0:18:33 > 0:18:39Thanks very much, Richard. So we're looking for the years in which these events occurred
0:18:39 > 0:18:40and here they are.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55I'll read those again.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09- So, Lee.- There's only one of those that I definitely know
0:19:09 > 0:19:11and it's probably the most obvious one,
0:19:11 > 0:19:14- so it's the one I'm going to have to go for...- Yeah.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16..unfortunately.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19England winning the World Cup was in 1966.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23OK, well, let's see if that scores less than 100.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26England winning the World Cup, 1966.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29Let's see if it's right and if it is, how many people said it.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35APPLAUSE
0:19:35 > 0:19:37It's not bad.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39That scored you 75. Richard?
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Yes, 1966, England won the World Cup.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44I think the 25 people who didn't get that were holidaying Germans.
0:19:44 > 0:19:48OK, thank you very much. Andy?
0:19:48 > 0:19:51There's a couple that I definitely know
0:19:51 > 0:19:54but I think they'll be high, rather like the football one.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57There's one where it's either one year or the next year.
0:19:57 > 0:20:02- Exactly.- So we will take a punt, I think.
0:20:02 > 0:20:07The Beatles' She Loves You reached number one
0:20:07 > 0:20:10and I think that was in 1963.
0:20:11 > 0:20:131963, you're going to say.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16Let's see if that is correct and if it is,
0:20:16 > 0:20:18let's see how many people said it. 1963.
0:20:21 > 0:20:26Very well done, Andy. Very well done indeed.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28This could go a long way down.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30- Six! - APPLAUSE
0:20:32 > 0:20:33Whoo!
0:20:33 > 0:20:37Excellent. Scores you six. She Loves You, 1963.
0:20:37 > 0:20:41Well played, Andy. If it was a risk, it was a calculated one.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43Best-selling single of 1963. She Loves You.
0:20:43 > 0:20:49Matt, remember, we are looking for the years in which these historical events occurred.
0:20:49 > 0:20:56There's two that I don't know, one that I could have a stab at.
0:20:56 > 0:20:57Tell us what they are.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01The Hindenburg Airship disaster and Queen Victoria died,
0:21:01 > 0:21:04I wouldn't be confident in having a go at those.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08The man first walked on the moon, I know roughly when that was
0:21:08 > 0:21:10but I wouldn't be certain of the year.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15But I'm reasonably confident about Word War One ending,
0:21:15 > 0:21:22so I'm going to go for World War One ending in 1918.
0:21:23 > 0:21:271918, you're saying was the end of World War One.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said that.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34Well, it is right.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37- 46. - APPLAUSE
0:21:39 > 0:21:4346, a safe and not terrible score. Richard?
0:21:43 > 0:21:46Yes, it's a big score in points
0:21:46 > 0:21:50but quite a depressing score in terms of the general knowledge of the populace,
0:21:50 > 0:21:52the dates of World War One.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56- The '14-'18 war, as sometimes they call it.- Exactly.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59- The clue is there, isn't it?- Yeah. - Let's fill in all the rest
0:21:59 > 0:22:01to see if you got them all at home.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04- Man first walked on the moon.- '69.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06You should know that because, of course, it was your father.
0:22:06 > 0:22:10It was, yes. That's right, that's right.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12And perhaps it was while he was doing that
0:22:12 > 0:22:16that old George Bush Senior came over and...
0:22:18 > 0:22:20came a-knocking. I don't know, I don't know.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22That would have scored you 40 points.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26The Hindenburg airship disaster. That's quite a tough one.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28'30s? Early '30s?
0:22:28 > 0:22:30It was late '30s. 1937.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33So well done if you got that. That would have scored you three points.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37- And Queen Victoria died in...?- 1901. - 1901. Exactly right.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40That would have scored you 23 points.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44Thank you very much, Richard. Let's take a look at the scores.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47Andy, looking very, very strong. Six points, there.
0:22:47 > 0:22:51Now, Matt and Maxine, 46 you are on.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55Lee, 75. You did the right thing because 75 is better than 100
0:22:55 > 0:22:58but Sam has an uphill battle for the second pass.
0:22:58 > 0:23:02OK, we're going to come back down the line. Can the second players please take their places?
0:23:04 > 0:23:07OK, we're going to put six more events on the board
0:23:07 > 0:23:08and here they are.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23I'll read those again, quickly.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34Now, remember, we are looking for the years in which these events occurred
0:23:34 > 0:23:38and you are trying to find the one that the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40- Maxine.- I'm just going to go for one I know
0:23:40 > 0:23:43and hope that not many people knew it.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45Do you think it's an obscure one?
0:23:45 > 0:23:48I know it, so everyone will know it, surely?
0:23:48 > 0:23:51But you know, I'm going to go for the first test-tube baby born,
0:23:51 > 0:23:54who I think was born in 1978 - Louise Brown.
0:23:54 > 0:23:59Very good knowledge. There's your red line.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01If Louise Brown gets you below that red line, 1978,
0:24:01 > 0:24:05then you are most assuredly through to the next round.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08Let's see if it's correct. If it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13It's right.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17And through you go to the next round.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20- APPLAUSE - That's a wonderful answer, Maxine.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25Very, very well done indeed.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28That scores you four and takes your total up to 50. Richard?
0:24:28 > 0:24:30Brilliantly played, Maxine. 1978.
0:24:30 > 0:24:35And Robert Edwards, who developed the treatment, recently won the Nobel prize.
0:24:35 > 0:24:39Phil. You are on six points.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42If you can score 68 or less with this answer,
0:24:42 > 0:24:45you are most definitely through to the head to head
0:24:45 > 0:24:48and we will be saying goodbye to Sam and Lee.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52Remember, we are looking for the years in which these historical events occurred.
0:24:52 > 0:24:56What do you think? What's that board looking like to you?
0:24:56 > 0:24:58Well, there are some that I definitely know
0:24:58 > 0:25:05and it's whether that many people also know them. Erm...
0:25:05 > 0:25:10I think I'm going to go with the Titanic
0:25:10 > 0:25:13and I think it sank in 1912.
0:25:13 > 0:25:151912, Titanic.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18Let's see if Titanic can get you below that red line.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20How people said 1912?
0:25:22 > 0:25:24It's correct.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26Well done!
0:25:26 > 0:25:27APPLAUSE
0:25:28 > 0:25:30Very well done indeed.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33That scores you 49 and takes your total up to 55.
0:25:33 > 0:25:37- Richard?- Yeah. More people know when the Titanic was sunk
0:25:37 > 0:25:39than know when the First World War ended,
0:25:39 > 0:25:44- which I guess is the power of movies. - The power of film.- Yeah. Exactly.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48Had Celine Dion sung the soundtrack to the First World War,
0:25:48 > 0:25:49it would all be very different.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51It would have been over a lot quicker.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55Everyone would have gone, "You know what, we'll leave it."
0:25:55 > 0:25:58Sam and Lee, I hate to say this
0:25:58 > 0:26:01but the writing is not only on the wall, it is in red.
0:26:01 > 0:26:05Your 75 score is already the highest score
0:26:05 > 0:26:08before you've given your answer, Sam, which is a shame,
0:26:08 > 0:26:11because this could be quite a strong round for you.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14I think I'm going to go for the D-Day landings,
0:26:14 > 0:26:16which was 1944.
0:26:16 > 0:26:181944, D-Day landings, you're saying.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22Let's see how many people said that. No red line, I'm sorry to say,
0:26:22 > 0:26:24because you will be leaving us come what may.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27You say 1944. Let's see how many people said that.
0:26:35 > 0:26:36- 19! - APPLAUSE
0:26:36 > 0:26:41That scores you 19 and it takes your total up to 94.
0:26:41 > 0:26:46- Richard?- Yeah, June 1944, but not enough to save you,
0:26:46 > 0:26:47so that's unlucky.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51- What about the rest of them? - Let's fill in the rest of the board.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54- Tony Blair first elected Prime Minister.- May 1st '97.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56'97, exactly right. That would have got you 26 points.
0:26:56 > 0:27:01- JFK assassinated.- 1963. - '63 is exactly right. 23 points.
0:27:01 > 0:27:06- And the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II.- 1953.- 1953.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08That scored 18 points.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11So the test tube baby was the best answer on the board.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14Very, very good answer, Maxine. Thanks very much, Richard.
0:27:14 > 0:27:18So at the end of round two, the losing pair are Sam and Lee.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22And history being your subject, Sam.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25Well, we came and enjoyed the experience and that's what matters.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27It is and it's been lovely for us as well.
0:27:27 > 0:27:32What would you liked to have come up other than history?
0:27:32 > 0:27:35Possibly something like current affairs, something like that.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37- Yeah, yeah.- Perhaps.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40Well, thanks very much. You've been great contestants.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42APPLAUSE
0:27:45 > 0:27:50For the remaining two pairs, things get even more exciting as we enter the head to head.
0:27:56 > 0:28:00So very well done, Maxine and Matt, Andy and Phil.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02You've made it through to the head to head.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05Only one pair can play for the jackpot,
0:28:05 > 0:28:10which, in case you've forgotten, currently stands at £5,750.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13CHEERING
0:28:15 > 0:28:18Now, you're going to go head to head on the best of three questions.
0:28:18 > 0:28:22For each question, each pair needs to give me just one answer
0:28:22 > 0:28:24and you are now allowed to confer.
0:28:24 > 0:28:28If your answer scores less than the other pair, you win that question
0:28:28 > 0:28:32and the pair who get the best of three will be playing for today's jackpot.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34OK, let's play Pointless.
0:28:40 > 0:28:45Here's your first question. We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:28:45 > 0:28:50to name as many US states beginning with W
0:28:50 > 0:28:52as they could. Richard?
0:28:52 > 0:28:57I've got nothing to add. Just US states beginning with W and there are four on the list.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59Maxine and Matt, you've played best so far,
0:28:59 > 0:29:04so you get to go first, with US states beginning with W.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06THEY WHISPER
0:29:08 > 0:29:09- OK.- Yes.- Do you have an answer?- Yes.
0:29:09 > 0:29:13- We can think of three and we're going for Wisconsin.- Wisconsin.- Yes.
0:29:13 > 0:29:17Wisconsin has gone, Andy and Phil.
0:29:17 > 0:29:21Well, if there's four, that probably leaves Wyoming...
0:29:22 > 0:29:25Washington
0:29:25 > 0:29:27and... another one.
0:29:28 > 0:29:31- Do you know one?- I suspect Wyoming.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34I'm wondering if Washington because of people thinking of Washington DC.
0:29:34 > 0:29:39- You choose.- Washington.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41Washington. OK.
0:29:41 > 0:29:45We have Wisconsin and we have Washington.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48In the order they were given, Maxine and Matt said Wisconsin.
0:29:48 > 0:29:53Let's see if it's right and if it is, how many people said Wisconsin.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58- Ooh!- 51. - APPLAUSE
0:30:00 > 0:30:0251 for Wisconsin.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05- What are you thinking?- Mm. - I thought...
0:30:05 > 0:30:10- It would lower than that? - We're thinking we should have gone for Wyoming.
0:30:10 > 0:30:14Erm, Andy and Phil went for Washington.
0:30:14 > 0:30:18Will your logic pay off, Phil?
0:30:18 > 0:30:21OK, let's find out. How many people said Washington?
0:30:26 > 0:30:28- Oh! - APPLAUSE
0:30:30 > 0:30:3472 for Washington against 51 for Wisconsin.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37So after the first question, it is one-nil to Maxine and Matt.
0:30:37 > 0:30:41- Richard?- I think both teams had Washington, Wyoming and Wisconsin.
0:30:41 > 0:30:46The one you're both missing is the one that would have won you the lowest score of all,
0:30:46 > 0:30:48- with 27, it was West Virginia.- Ah!
0:30:48 > 0:30:53There's Wisconsin, 51, Wyoming with lots of points on 57
0:30:53 > 0:30:55and Washington up the top on 72.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59Here is your second question.
0:30:59 > 0:31:03We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:31:07 > 0:31:08..as they could.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11A posthumous number one. Richard?
0:31:11 > 0:31:14Yeah, we're looking for any artist who's had a UK number on single
0:31:14 > 0:31:15after their death
0:31:15 > 0:31:19and that's either individually or as a group or a duo
0:31:19 > 0:31:22and it's up to the beginning of 2011.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24OK, thanks very much, Richard.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27Andy and Phil, you get to go first this time.
0:31:29 > 0:31:35I am being deferred to, so I will say, as a member of a group,
0:31:35 > 0:31:38Freddie Mercury as a member of Queen.
0:31:38 > 0:31:40I was thinking that you were a member of a group.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43"As a member of a group, I am going to say..."
0:31:43 > 0:31:46Erm, now, then, Maxine and Matt.
0:31:46 > 0:31:51Eva Cassidy, who did that Songbird, she was only famous after she died,
0:31:51 > 0:31:54but whether she got a number one single - she had a number one album.
0:31:54 > 0:31:57I was thinking about John Lennon or Elvis Presley.
0:31:57 > 0:32:01- But they'd be more popular than Freddie Mercury. - Go with that, then, go on.
0:32:01 > 0:32:02We'll go with Eva Cassidy.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04We're going to go with Eva Cassidy.
0:32:04 > 0:32:07OK, so we have Freddie Mercury, we have Eva Cassidy.
0:32:07 > 0:32:11You, Maxine and Matt, are on one-nil.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14If you win this question, you are through to the final.
0:32:14 > 0:32:18Andy, Phil, you have to win this point to stay in the game
0:32:18 > 0:32:20and go through to that final.
0:32:20 > 0:32:24OK, in the order they were given, Andy and Phil said Freddie Mercury.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27Let's see if that's correct and if it is, how many people said it.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35This is going to be a low score, I feel.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37Yeah, eight points.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44OK. Maxine and Matt, Eva Cassidy, you said.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46Is it right? Eva Cassidy.
0:32:46 > 0:32:48How many people said it and is it correct?
0:32:51 > 0:32:52It's right!
0:32:55 > 0:32:57This is going to be interesting.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00Down it goes... Down it goes to two!
0:33:06 > 0:33:12Wow. Very, very well answered, Maxine and Matt.
0:33:12 > 0:33:16It means after just two questions, you are through to the final, two-nil. Richard.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19Great answer, Maxine. That was tough to beat, guys.
0:33:19 > 0:33:23She died in 1996 and had a number one in 2007 with Katie Melua.
0:33:23 > 0:33:28They did What A Wonderful World. There were five answers that would have beaten Eva Cassidy.
0:33:28 > 0:33:31There are 13 in all, this is according to everyHit's website.
0:33:31 > 0:33:34Eddie Cochran and Aaliyah, both pointless answers.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37Well done if you said either of those.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40Notorious B.I.G. and Jimi Hendrix and 2Pac
0:33:40 > 0:33:43all scored one point. There's Eva Cassidy.
0:33:43 > 0:33:46Jackie Wilson had a Christmas number one after he died, in 1986
0:33:46 > 0:33:48with Reet Petite - that scored three.
0:33:48 > 0:33:52George Harrison had a number one with My Sweet Lord, four points.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54Jim Reeves, Distant Drum, five.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56Freddie Mercury on eight, Buddy Holly, 12.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58John Lennon had three number ones -
0:33:58 > 0:34:02Just Like Starting Over, Imagine and Woman - after he died.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05And Elvis Presley, way up the top there on 66.
0:34:05 > 0:34:09Thanks very much, Richard. So the losing pair at the end of the head-to-head round,
0:34:09 > 0:34:11it's Andy and Phil.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13Did you have any of those other answers?
0:34:13 > 0:34:15Erm, I should've got Jimi Hendrix, really,
0:34:15 > 0:34:17but I didn't say that, did I?
0:34:17 > 0:34:21No. You weren't banking on Maxine pulling Eva Cassidy out of the bag.
0:34:21 > 0:34:25- No.- Impressive stuff. - That was a really obscure answer.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28The good news is we get to see you again next time
0:34:28 > 0:34:31and I would imagine you'll be the pair to beat next time.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34You're great contestants. Thank you, Andy and Phil.
0:34:36 > 0:34:40But for Maxine and Matt, it's now time for our Pointless Final
0:34:40 > 0:34:43and the chance to win our jackpot of £5,750.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52Well, many congratulations, Maxine and Matt,
0:34:52 > 0:34:57you have fought off all the competition and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot
0:35:08 > 0:35:12and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £5,750.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14WHOOPING
0:35:16 > 0:35:19Now, all you have to do to win that money
0:35:19 > 0:35:22is find a pointless answer that no-one could think of.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24We haven't had any pointless answers today.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27You only have to find one now to go home with that money.
0:35:27 > 0:35:31First you choose a category from these three options.
0:35:35 > 0:35:39- It's going to have to be words. - Words? Do you speak languages?
0:35:39 > 0:35:45- I speak English.- You speak English. That could come in handy.
0:35:46 > 0:35:50- Right.- Words. - We're going to have to go for Words.
0:35:50 > 0:35:54The lesser of three evils, we're going to have to go for Words.
0:35:54 > 0:35:58- It might be the best category you've ever picked.- It could be.
0:35:58 > 0:35:59Right, you're going to go for Words.
0:35:59 > 0:36:03Right, well, there's no putting it off any longer.
0:36:03 > 0:36:08Let's see what that question is. We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:36:08 > 0:36:15as many words ending in "..oud" as they could.
0:36:15 > 0:36:19- Richard?- We're looking for any words from the Oxford English Dictionary
0:36:19 > 0:36:23that end "..oud". We won't accept hyphenated words or proper nouns
0:36:23 > 0:36:25but any word ending in "..oud".
0:36:25 > 0:36:28There are 30 of them in the Oxford English Dictionary.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31There is a word itself, oud, which is a type of lute,
0:36:31 > 0:36:35but we won't accept that in the unlikely event you were going to come up with it.
0:36:35 > 0:36:40Wow, OK. You can have up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43All you need to win that £5,750
0:36:43 > 0:36:45is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47Your 60 seconds start now.
0:36:47 > 0:36:51- Things I was thinking of were loud. - And cloud.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54What about words that are joined, like overloud?
0:36:54 > 0:36:59- Is that one word?- I think that is. - So overloud.
0:36:59 > 0:37:04Can you think of any? I don't even know if overloud's a word.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07- I think I might have made that up. - Overloud.
0:37:08 > 0:37:11Cloud. Just go through the alphabet.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13Boud, coud, doud...
0:37:15 > 0:37:19We'll have to go for loud. Overloud. Underloud.
0:37:21 > 0:37:25- Can you think of any others? - I can't think of any others.
0:37:25 > 0:37:29He's going to show us the pointless answers, we're going to know them.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33- We'll go for overloud. - Overloud. Cloud.
0:37:33 > 0:37:38- What about undercloud? - Is that a word?- I don't know.
0:37:39 > 0:37:40Five seconds left.
0:37:43 > 0:37:44Go for cloud.
0:37:44 > 0:37:50- There is your minute up.- That was hard.- I'm looking forward this.
0:37:50 > 0:37:54So what are your three answers? We were looking for words ending in "..oud".
0:37:54 > 0:37:59- What are your three answers? - I think we decided on cloud.
0:37:59 > 0:38:00Mm-hm.
0:38:00 > 0:38:03- Did we say under...?- Undercloud. - Which we made up.
0:38:03 > 0:38:05And overloud.
0:38:05 > 0:38:11It's brilliant. Under and over. A brilliant, brilliant device.
0:38:11 > 0:38:15- Which is your most confident shot at a pointless answer?- Overloud.
0:38:15 > 0:38:18- If it's right. - If it's right, overloud.- Overloud.
0:38:18 > 0:38:21- Which is your least...? - Cloud.- Cloud.- Cloud. OK.
0:38:21 > 0:38:24Well, let's put them up in that order.
0:38:27 > 0:38:30Then...
0:38:30 > 0:38:31LAUGHTER
0:38:31 > 0:38:33And overloud.
0:38:36 > 0:38:39Oh, I think your third answer is extremely good.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42- Do you think it's a real word? - Bear in mind I know nothing
0:38:42 > 0:38:45but I think it's great.
0:38:45 > 0:38:50Right, we were looking for words ending in "..oud".
0:38:50 > 0:38:52This was your least confident answer.
0:38:52 > 0:38:54You only need to find one pointless, remember,
0:38:54 > 0:38:57to win that £5,750 jackpot.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59So, cloud is your first.
0:39:00 > 0:39:03- I think it's right. - LAUGHTER
0:39:03 > 0:39:05Let's see how many people said cloud.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09It's right. There we are.
0:39:09 > 0:39:14- Down it comes.- Ooh!- 69. - What a surprise.
0:39:16 > 0:39:20Well, it was basically just filling the space, wasn't it?
0:39:20 > 0:39:24- Pretty much, yeah.- Which is, appropriately, what cloud does.
0:39:24 > 0:39:29Fabulous. That scored you 69. Not a pointless answer but you knew that.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32You only have two more chances to win our jackpot.
0:39:32 > 0:39:36What would you do with £5,750?
0:39:36 > 0:39:39I think we would put it towards a holiday.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42I would take a little bit to buy some shoes with, I think.
0:39:42 > 0:39:45- Just a tiny amount. - We didn't discuss that!
0:39:45 > 0:39:48Is that an area of your wardrobe that's rather understocked?
0:39:48 > 0:39:51Oh, yes. I've only got about 70 pairs.
0:39:51 > 0:39:56- Only 70?- Yes.- Has it...? Has it become her thing, Matt?
0:39:56 > 0:40:00- I had to build a cabinet for her to store them all in.- Right.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03- So what would you spend it on, Matt? - I don't know.
0:40:03 > 0:40:07Something, maybe, that I've never spent money on before,
0:40:07 > 0:40:09seeing as it would be an unexpected windfall,
0:40:09 > 0:40:12so I'd have to put my thinking cap on.
0:40:12 > 0:40:16- OK.- I could spend it on a cap. - You could buy me a pair of shoes.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19- You could. It would be a perfect present.- Yes!
0:40:19 > 0:40:22Exactly. OK, well, we were looking for words ending in "..oud".
0:40:22 > 0:40:25Let's hope nobody said your next answer.
0:40:25 > 0:40:26Let's hope it exists.
0:40:26 > 0:40:31Undercloud. This has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot.
0:40:31 > 0:40:35It has to be correct, of course. Undercloud.
0:40:35 > 0:40:37Does it exist? Did anyone say it?
0:40:40 > 0:40:44- No!- Oh!- What a surprise.
0:40:44 > 0:40:47Well, you did make that word up in front of us,
0:40:47 > 0:40:51so it would have been brilliant if it existed.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53OK, it's all down to this last one.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56You have one more chance to win today's jackpot.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58Everything is riding on overloud. There it is.
0:40:58 > 0:41:02As you said it, it sounds like a word I've heard before.
0:41:02 > 0:41:04Is it a word that the OED recognises?
0:41:04 > 0:41:08Did anyone remember it?
0:41:08 > 0:41:10We're looking for words ending in "..oud".
0:41:10 > 0:41:13This is your most confident answer. Overloud.
0:41:13 > 0:41:15If this is pointless and exists,
0:41:15 > 0:41:19you will be leaving here with £5,750.
0:41:21 > 0:41:23Overloud. Let's have a look.
0:41:26 > 0:41:28It's right! It's right.
0:41:30 > 0:41:34Your last correct one went down to 69. This is going a long way down.
0:41:34 > 0:41:38It's your last shot at the jackpot. Is it going to do it?
0:41:38 > 0:41:41- Yes, it is! - CHEERING
0:41:42 > 0:41:46Very well done. That's brilliant. Well done.
0:41:46 > 0:41:52That's, oh, superb. Very well done.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56Well done, you.
0:41:59 > 0:42:02Oh, that's brilliant. Congratulations.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05You managed to find that important pointless answer,
0:42:05 > 0:42:09which means you go home with the jackpot of £5,750.
0:42:09 > 0:42:11- Very well done. - CHEERING
0:42:13 > 0:42:15Absolutely wonderful.
0:42:19 > 0:42:21- So, Richard. - That's the way to do it.
0:42:21 > 0:42:23Overloud means excessively loud.
0:42:23 > 0:42:26You weren't a million miles away with undercloud
0:42:26 > 0:42:28because overcloud is a pointless answer.
0:42:28 > 0:42:35- No way!- As are protocloud, encloud, uncloud, intracloud
0:42:35 > 0:42:38and thundercloud, of all things.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40Thanks very much, Richard.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42- Overloud.- Yes.
0:42:42 > 0:42:47That just came in. You've answered spectacularly.
0:42:47 > 0:42:50We've had Eva Cassidy, we've had Louise Brown.
0:42:50 > 0:42:53- It's just my day. - It's just your day.
0:42:53 > 0:42:55And fortunately, Matt came with me.
0:42:55 > 0:42:56LAUGHTER
0:42:56 > 0:43:00Well done. Many congratulations to you once again.
0:43:00 > 0:43:05Maxine and Matt, you go away with today's jackpot of £5,750.
0:43:05 > 0:43:07CHEERING
0:43:14 > 0:43:17Join us next time when we put more obscure knowledge to the test.
0:43:17 > 0:43:21- It's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye. - And from me. Goodbye.
