0:00:17 > 0:00:20APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Thank you. I'm Alexander Armstrong. Welcome to Pointless,
0:00:27 > 0:00:31the show where the lowest scorers are the biggest winners.
0:00:31 > 0:00:32Let's meet today's players.
0:00:38 > 0:00:42Welcome, Luke and Nyil first. How do you two know each other?
0:00:42 > 0:00:46We're at Uni together. We met just after Freshers' Week a couple of years ago
0:00:46 > 0:00:50through a mutual appreciation of the college bar!
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Why did you apply to be on Pointless?
0:00:53 > 0:00:55Funny you should ask that.
0:00:55 > 0:01:01We happened to bump into Richard outside our local supermarket
0:01:01 > 0:01:07- and we were both really excited and thought, "We're going on that show!" - He was the inspiration.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10- Do you remember this? Do you recall it?- Do I remember it?!
0:01:10 > 0:01:12Course I remember.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16You don't forget guys like um...
0:01:16 > 0:01:19- ..guys like Luke and Nyil!- No,
0:01:19 > 0:01:23- I think they'll go all the way. - I do, too. Larry and Nick will go all the way!
0:01:23 > 0:01:26- Best of luck to the pair of you. - Thank you.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29Next, we welcome Nick and Louise. How do you know each other?
0:01:29 > 0:01:35We go back a long way. We met first in school, a long time ago - I'm not telling you how long!
0:01:35 > 0:01:37- That's amazing.- I know.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39And remained friends all that time?
0:01:39 > 0:01:41- No.- I didn't say that!- Oh, I see!
0:01:41 > 0:01:45He gets on my nerves and he'll probably have a few elbow digs today!
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Good luck to the pair of you. Great to have you here.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Next, we welcome Emma and Sarah.
0:01:51 > 0:01:52How do you know each other?
0:01:52 > 0:01:56Me and Emma know each other from high school. We met when we were 12,
0:01:56 > 0:02:00through mutual friends, but we didn't get along to start with.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02We had an awkward relationship.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06Then when we were 16, things clicked and now we're best friends.
0:02:06 > 0:02:12Very good. Up until you appeared on that quiz show and it all fell apart again!
0:02:12 > 0:02:14Best of luck to the pair of you.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Finally, Andy and Phil. You were on the show last time.
0:02:17 > 0:02:22Everybody gets two cracks at the final. This is your second and final chance.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25- How did you do?- We got through to the head-to-head.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29But we came a-cropper with dead pop stars!
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Dead pop stars and their number ones.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34- Yep.- Dear, oh, dear.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38- What are your strong categories? - Food and drink would be good.
0:02:38 > 0:02:39Gastronomy, wine, travel.
0:02:40 > 0:02:45Yes, food and drink, gastronomy. Very good subjects.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Best of luck to the pair of you.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50We'll find out more about you during the show.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54One person left to introduce. He regularly dines at the table of obscurity
0:02:54 > 0:02:58where the menu is a selection of unusual facts and figures. What?!
0:03:00 > 0:03:03He's my Pointless friend, he's Richard.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05Hello!
0:03:08 > 0:03:12- Hiya.- You dine at that table, do you?
0:03:12 > 0:03:15I rarely dine out. That's why I go to supermarkets!
0:03:15 > 0:03:18- Of course.- I hang out outside them.
0:03:18 > 0:03:23That's where nearly all our contestants come from, people you've met on excursions.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26That is exactly right. We've only got one returning pair today,
0:03:26 > 0:03:28but a very strong returning pair.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31Andy and Phil will be very hard to beat, I suspect.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35Although people from South Wales always do very well.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38The other pairs are students, so they've just got up!
0:03:38 > 0:03:41So I suspect anything could happen.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45The first question today is a real stinker. I think it's really tough.
0:03:47 > 0:03:48OK.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51Andy laughs in the face of toughness!
0:03:51 > 0:03:55Very good. We put all our questions to 100 people before the show.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59But this is Pointless, so we're after the obscure answers.
0:03:59 > 0:04:04Everyone is trying to find a pointless answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06When that happens, we add £250 to the jackpot.
0:04:06 > 0:04:13Maxine and Matt won the jackpot last time so today's jackpot starts at £1,000.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Right. Let's play Pointless!
0:04:25 > 0:04:28In the first round, each of you must give me one answer
0:04:28 > 0:04:30and you cannot confer.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34The team with the highest score will be eliminated. Be careful that's not you.
0:04:34 > 0:04:39If anyone gives me an incorrect answer, they score the maximum 100 points.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43OK. Our first category this afternoon is...
0:04:45 > 0:04:50Nationalities. Can you decide in your pairs who's going first
0:04:50 > 0:04:52and who's going second?
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name...
0:05:06 > 0:05:10Nationalities ending in "..ese". Richard?
0:05:10 > 0:05:16We're after countries whose inhabitants are known in English by a name ending in "..ese".
0:05:16 > 0:05:21By country we mean, as always, a member of the UN which is a sovereign state in its own right
0:05:21 > 0:05:24up to the start of 2011.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Told you it was hard.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29- You're thinking?- I'm busy thinking. With you in a second!
0:05:32 > 0:05:38Right. Nyil and Luke, you drew lots earlier. Today you get to go first.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40- Nyil, you're first up.- Yes.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42What are you thinking?
0:05:42 > 0:05:49I'm thinking about Emmanuel Adebayor, which reminded me of the nationality Togolese.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Very good. Togolese.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55OK. You're hoping to score as few points as possible.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Let's see if it's right.
0:06:00 > 0:06:01It's right.
0:06:05 > 0:06:06Down it goes!
0:06:08 > 0:06:10Very, very well done!
0:06:12 > 0:06:17Very well done indeed. That scores you one point.
0:06:17 > 0:06:23- Richard.- A perfect example of how sport can teach you about general knowledge. Geography and so on.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Emmanuel Adebayor is indeed Togolese.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Very good. Good score. Louise?
0:06:28 > 0:06:32I think I'm going to say...
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Sorry, Nick, if it's wrong,
0:06:34 > 0:06:38Siamese. I hope it's not just a cat!
0:06:38 > 0:06:40As in Siamese twins.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Cat as in Siamese twins?
0:06:42 > 0:06:46No, as in Siamese twins that are conjoined,
0:06:46 > 0:06:48but it's also a cat.
0:06:48 > 0:06:54- It is a cat. Is it a nationality recognised by the UN?- I'm not sure.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58You're hoping to score as few points as possible.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02Let's see if it's correct, and if so, how many people said Siamese.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Bad luck!
0:07:10 > 0:07:14That scores you the maximum of 100 points, I'm afraid.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Sorry. Richard?
0:07:16 > 0:07:18It's now Thailand, Siam.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22Bad luck, Louise. So we come to you, Emma.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24- Hello!- Hello, Emma.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28We are looking for nationalities ending in "..ese".
0:07:28 > 0:07:31I can think of a few, but I'm thinking of more obvious ones.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33- Right.- Um...
0:07:33 > 0:07:36I was thinking of going for Portuguese.
0:07:36 > 0:07:41That might be a right answer. Let's see if it is and if so, how many people said Portuguese.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45It's right.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49It's under 50, at 37!
0:07:50 > 0:07:54Not a bad score at all in the end, Emma.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56Portuguese, Richard.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Very good answer.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01We call people from Portugal Portuguese, don't we?
0:08:01 > 0:08:02We do.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06Although if we know them, we call them by their Christian name!
0:08:08 > 0:08:11Very well done, Emma. Andy?
0:08:11 > 0:08:17I think I'm going to go to a different part of the world from other folks.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21- I'm going to go for Lebanese. - Very good.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Let's see if Lebanese is going to stand you in good stead.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27You're hoping to score as few points as possible.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29How many people said Lebanese?
0:08:29 > 0:08:31There we are. It's right.
0:08:35 > 0:08:3726.
0:08:37 > 0:08:43Not a bad score at all, Andy. Richard, what else can you say other than it's correct?
0:08:43 > 0:08:46Yes, that's correct.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51- That's correct.- Lebanese.- Yeah, Lebanese.- People from Lebanon.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Lebanonglish you can call them as well. No, you can't.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57- No.- In the absence of anything else to say.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59We're halfway through the round.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Let's take a look at the scores as they stand.
0:09:02 > 0:09:03Nyil, what an answer!
0:09:03 > 0:09:06What an answer. One.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Fabulous answer.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12Then Andy. A fabulous answer there. The Lebanon. Emma,
0:09:12 > 0:09:1437. Portuguese. Who'd have thought?
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Fabulous low score
0:09:16 > 0:09:20in comparison to...
0:09:20 > 0:09:25- Siamese. It was a good thought, it just happened to be wrong. - I should have played safe.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Sadly, you scored 100. So Nick,
0:09:27 > 0:09:31you have to try and find a really low-scoring answer.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33- Have you got one?- Who knows?
0:09:33 > 0:09:36Well, we will, soon!
0:09:37 > 0:09:41Let's hope it's a pointless answer and somebody else scores high.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43We'll then see you in the next round.
0:09:43 > 0:09:48Can the second players take their places at the podium?
0:09:48 > 0:09:53OK. We're looking for nationalities ending in "..ese".
0:09:53 > 0:09:59- Phil?- I'm torn between gambling and perhaps finding something very low,
0:09:59 > 0:10:04or maybe a middling safe answer to get through.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08If you can score 73 or less, you're through to the next round.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12I know that will probably tempt you to go for the easy middling score.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15- Yes.- Rather than the exciting and fun...
0:10:15 > 0:10:19- I'm going to go for the exciting and fun.- Well done, Phil.
0:10:19 > 0:10:24- Because I think I've eaten in a restaurant...- I hoped it would be food related.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26- ..in Amsterdam.- Yes.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29And it was Surinamese.
0:10:29 > 0:10:34Surinamese. There's your red line. If you get below that with Surinamese,
0:10:34 > 0:10:37it will see you through to the next round.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40Is it right, and if so, how many people said it?
0:10:43 > 0:10:45It's right.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48Well done, Phil, you've gone through the line.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50I think this might go down a long way.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Yes!
0:10:55 > 0:10:57That's a pointless answer.
0:10:57 > 0:11:03It adds 250 quid to today's jackpot, taking our total up to 1,250
0:11:03 > 0:11:08and most importantly it scores you nothing, giving you a total of 26. Richard?
0:11:08 > 0:11:13Brilliant, Phil. Well done. Great answer. Suriname was Dutch Guyana.
0:11:13 > 0:11:19- Lots of footballers of Surinamese descent. Ruud Gullit is probably the most famous.- There we are.- Yes.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23We are looking for nationalities ending in "..ese". Sarah.
0:11:23 > 0:11:28You are on 37. The highest scorers are Nick and Louise on 100.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31If you can score 62 or less with this,
0:11:31 > 0:11:35we will be seeing you in the next round. What are you thinking?
0:11:35 > 0:11:37OK. I'm going to go very safe.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39I'm going to go for...
0:11:41 > 0:11:42..Japanese.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45- Japanese.- Yes.
0:11:45 > 0:11:49You have to get below 62. There's your red line.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53Emma, what are you thinking? Do you think Japanese will get us there?
0:11:53 > 0:11:56Might do. I'm not sure. It might just get us there.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58- Or it might not.- It might just.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02Fingers tightly crossed. Let's see how many people said Japanese.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05Will it get you through to the next round?
0:12:11 > 0:12:15Bad luck. That scores you 67, giving a total of 104.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Richard?
0:12:17 > 0:12:22A big score, but probably the right thing to do. Better than taking a risk and getting 100.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26- It puts the pressure on the next pair now.- Absolutely. Yes,
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Nick, you're back in the game.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32- Score three or less with this answer...- Yes!
0:12:32 > 0:12:35..and you are home and dry.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39So, eaten anywhere nice recently?
0:12:41 > 0:12:46Um... I had a nice "Israel-ese" once, and an "Iraq-ese"
0:12:46 > 0:12:50but the one I've been thinking of, Nepalese.
0:12:50 > 0:12:51Nepalese.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54There's your red line, just above the ground.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56LAUGHTER
0:12:56 > 0:13:02We have to hope that Nepalese can get you down there.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Are you hopeful, Louise?
0:13:04 > 0:13:07- No.- Thanks(!)
0:13:07 > 0:13:09Sorry! I think it'll be about seven.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Right. Let's see.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14How many people said Nepalese?
0:13:20 > 0:13:22There's your red line.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Ooh, it's close!
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Not bad at all!
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Not a bad answer, Nick.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33It scores you ten. Gives you a total of 110.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35It's a really good answer, Nick,
0:13:35 > 0:13:39just ten points. Louise, you'll have to take some of the blame for this.
0:13:39 > 0:13:44All of it. All of it. I'll tell you a story in a minute, after the boys choose.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48- No, no, you...- No, I can't, because it'll give another answer.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51My mother-in-law was born there, and I'm like...
0:13:51 > 0:13:54Ah, are you thinking of Swansea General Hospital?
0:13:54 > 0:13:56That's the one!
0:13:56 > 0:13:59Now, then, Luke. Luke, Luke, Luke.
0:13:59 > 0:14:03- The stage is set. You cannot lose. - Great news.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06You can take the biggest risk of your life here, Luke.
0:14:06 > 0:14:10I've got three in my head, two of which are definitely not pointless.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14- One I might have made up, so I'm going to go for it.- Good.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16I'm going to go for Congolese!
0:14:16 > 0:14:20- Congolese.- Yeah.- Wasn't she in George Bush's last cabinet?
0:14:20 > 0:14:23LAUGHTER
0:14:26 > 0:14:30OK, might it equal Nyil's excellent score of one? Congolese.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33How many people said Congolese?
0:14:35 > 0:14:36It's right.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Very good.
0:14:40 > 0:14:41Down it goes.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51It goes over the six, taking your total up to seven. Richard?
0:14:51 > 0:14:57Yes, Congolese is the name of people from Congo and from the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Two different countries. Very good answer.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03- What was the country you were thinking of, Louise? - She was born in Malta.
0:15:03 > 0:15:08You'd have scored 26 points and safely through to the next round.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12There were five pointless answers. We've had one from Phil - Surinamese.
0:15:12 > 0:15:17Bhutan - Bhutanese. I can't believe you didn't get that!
0:15:17 > 0:15:22Kiribati. They're called Gilbertese, people from Kiribati.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24Something to remember.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27The Marshall Islands, they're called Marshallese.
0:15:27 > 0:15:32San Marino - San Marinese.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35And Suriname. Surinamese.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Well done if you got a pointless answer.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41Let's take a look at the worst answers, the ones most people said.
0:15:41 > 0:15:46The bottom two we've already seen from Emma and Sarah. Portugal and Japan.
0:15:46 > 0:15:52Right at the top of the list, no surprises, China, with 83. Chinese.
0:15:52 > 0:15:56Thanks, Richard. After Round One, the losing pair with the highest score
0:15:56 > 0:16:02- I'm afraid is Nick and Louise. You see, Maltese...- Maltese.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05- That's a dog.- And nearly a sweet!
0:16:08 > 0:16:11And a cross, of course. Are you cross?
0:16:12 > 0:16:14I don't think you need to ask!
0:16:14 > 0:16:19Listen, we'll see you again next time, which is great news.
0:16:19 > 0:16:24I look forward to seeing you and what you do with Round One next time we play!
0:16:24 > 0:16:27- Thank you so much.- Thank you.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33For the remaining three pairs, time for Round Two.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43Clearly, there's only room for two pairs in the head-to-head
0:16:43 > 0:16:46so one of our teams will leave at the end of this round
0:16:46 > 0:16:48disappointed.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50Our category in Round Two is...
0:16:54 > 0:16:58Can you decide in your pairs who goes first and who second?
0:16:58 > 0:17:01Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:04 > 0:17:12OK. Our Round Two question concerns duos and their songs. Duos and their songs.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15Phil not sure about that. Andy, I think, pleased with that.
0:17:15 > 0:17:20In this round, we'll show you a list of people who've had top ten hits as a duo
0:17:20 > 0:17:24in the years shown. We asked 100 people to tell us the names of their hits.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28- Richard?- We're going to show you six duos on each pass.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31If you can get a nice obscure one, you'll score fewer points.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34If you give a wrong answer, you score 100 points.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37See how many you can get at home.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41Thanks, Richard. We're after the names of these duos' hits.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Here we go. We have got...
0:18:04 > 0:18:07Luke, you're first to address the board.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10How are you on the hit parade?
0:18:10 > 0:18:15I don't know! I'm all right with hits from the last few years.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18Which means I only know one answer on that board.
0:18:18 > 0:18:19Which is the answer I'll go for!
0:18:19 > 0:18:22Estelle and Kanye West, 2008.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24I believe it's American Boy.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26- American Boy.- Yeah.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30A beatific smile from Luke.
0:18:30 > 0:18:35Let's see if it's correct and if it is, how many people said American Boy.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Well, it's right.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44It's good!
0:18:47 > 0:18:51Fantastic answer. Brilliant score. Six points. Richard?
0:18:51 > 0:18:56Yes, American Boy, written by Estelle. She won a Grammy for it.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00- Rightly so, in my opinion.- So what did Kanye bring to the party?
0:19:00 > 0:19:05He raps on it. It won the Grammy for Best Rap, so...
0:19:05 > 0:19:08I'll eat my words. Kanye, I apologise!
0:19:08 > 0:19:10- Sarah.- Yes.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13I genuinely was going to go for Estelle and Kanye West.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17- There's only one other one on there that I know.- Right.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20I'm sure it'll be the most high-scoring one on the board.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24I'm going for Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan, Especially For You.
0:19:24 > 0:19:30- Were you around when that came out? - I wasn't quite, but it's such a fantastic song,
0:19:30 > 0:19:34- that I've heard it since then. - It is a fantastic song, isn't it?
0:19:34 > 0:19:41Right. Let's see how many people said Especially For You, Kylie and Jason.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43It's right.
0:19:46 > 0:19:4837.
0:19:52 > 0:19:57- Especially For You, Richard? - You weren't born in 1988, Sarah?
0:19:57 > 0:20:00- I wasn't born in 1988. 1990.- Wow.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04That sound you hear is a nation of over-40s, sighing.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08But right answer, so well done.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13Phil. Remember, we're looking for the songs that these duos sang.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Do you want all the answers?
0:20:15 > 0:20:20- If you want, then pick one. - Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton - Islands in the Stream.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22Massive hit, so it might be popular.
0:20:22 > 0:20:26Aretha Franklin and George Michael - I Knew You Were Waiting.
0:20:26 > 0:20:30Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush - Don't Give Up.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34And Marc Almond and Gene Pitney, that's the one I'm going for.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Something's Gotten Hold Of My Heart.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40Oh, Andy's very impressed with that as well.
0:20:40 > 0:20:45This could be a low score. Something's Gotten Hold Of My Heart.
0:20:45 > 0:20:46How many people said it?
0:20:49 > 0:20:51Well, it's right.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55I think this could go a long way down.
0:21:01 > 0:21:0315 points. Richard?
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Well played, Phil.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08You went through the board perfectly.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22You could have gone one better with Don't Give Up.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Well done if you got all of those.
0:21:26 > 0:21:31Thanks, Richard. We're halfway through the round. Let's see the scores.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33Luke and Nyil, once again you've done it.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37Halfway through the round you have the best, the lowest score.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40Then we come to Phil and Andy, 15.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42Very nice low score there.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45Sarah and Emma, 37. Not a terrible score by any means.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48Emma, you'll have to pull one out of the bag in the next pass.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51- I'll try!- To make it through to the head-to-head.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55Can the second players please take their places at the podium.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01OK. Six more duos on the board. We have got...
0:22:27 > 0:22:29We're looking for their hits.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32You're after the one that the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36Andy. Again, I think, you're going to be very strong here.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40Well, having the advantage of middle age,
0:22:40 > 0:22:46I'm going to make a fool of myself by speaking French on television!
0:22:46 > 0:22:49Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg,
0:22:49 > 0:22:55their big number one hit was called Je T'Aime...Moi Non Plus.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Very good. You're on 15.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01Should you score 21 or less,
0:23:01 > 0:23:05you are straight through to the head-to-head with...
0:23:05 > 0:23:08Now I've got to speak French!
0:23:10 > 0:23:13Je T'Aime...Moi Non Plus.
0:23:16 > 0:23:20Below that red line, you're through to the head-to-head.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23Is it correct, and how many people said it?
0:23:26 > 0:23:27It's correct.
0:23:31 > 0:23:32Ooh!
0:23:32 > 0:23:3427, it scored.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37That gives you a total of 42.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42You are, for now, our highest scorers, but the others have yet to answer.
0:23:42 > 0:23:47- Richard?- Pretty big score. A big hit from 1969.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50- Do I have to speak French? - Si tu veux!
0:23:50 > 0:23:51Ah, oui.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54- Serge Gainsbourg.- "Gainsbourg".- Oui.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Wah!
0:23:56 > 0:23:57Allons-y!
0:24:00 > 0:24:01Vite! Alors!
0:24:01 > 0:24:03Emma.
0:24:03 > 0:24:0837, you are. Should you score four or less with this answer,
0:24:08 > 0:24:11you'll definitely be through to the head-to-head.
0:24:11 > 0:24:17- What's the board looking like to you?- I can't really think of any on the board!
0:24:17 > 0:24:19- Really?- I know there's some that I should know.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22But I just can't... I've gone blank.
0:24:22 > 0:24:26I think I was going for the most recent one. I should know this.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29Katy Perry and Snoop Dogg.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31I'm going to go for...
0:24:33 > 0:24:36Oh, it's going to be wrong. California Girls.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41California Girls, said with such gusto there!
0:24:41 > 0:24:45If it isn't right, it really should be.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48There's your red line, quite a long way down.
0:24:48 > 0:24:53But who knows? Maybe Katy Perry and Snoop Dogg will take you there.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55It's right.
0:25:01 > 0:25:02Very well done!
0:25:02 > 0:25:03Ooh!
0:25:04 > 0:25:06That scores you nine.
0:25:06 > 0:25:10A very impressive low score, giving a total of 46.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13- Richard?- Well played, Emma. You pulled that from somewhere.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Katy Perry and Snoop Dogg.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18- She's now married to Russell Brand. - Yes.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21And Snoop Dogg is married to Cat Deeley!
0:25:22 > 0:25:24So it's Snoop Deeley?
0:25:24 > 0:25:26- Come on.- Cat Dogg. Yes, all right.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28Cat Dogg.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32That really was the thickest thing I've ever said!
0:25:34 > 0:25:38- The thickest...- Man, oh, man, has that got some competition!
0:25:41 > 0:25:45So, then, Nyil, thanks to Luke, you are on six. Lovely low score.
0:25:45 > 0:25:51You have a 39-point margin before you trouble the high scorers here.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55We are looking for the songs that these duos sang.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59It's a struggle. I knew the Katy Perry and Snoop Dogg one
0:25:59 > 0:26:01but I'm afraid I don't know any of them.
0:26:01 > 0:26:06I'll have to go for a song I know Frank Sinatra did.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09I hope it was with Nancy Sinatra.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11And that's My Way.
0:26:11 > 0:26:16- You're going to say My Way.- Yeah. - Emma and Sarah,
0:26:16 > 0:26:18what's your feeling at this point?
0:26:18 > 0:26:23I don't want to sound horrible, but I really hope it's wrong!
0:26:23 > 0:26:26There's your red line. If My Way gets you below that line,
0:26:26 > 0:26:29you are through to the head-to-head. Is it right
0:26:29 > 0:26:33and if it is, how many people said My Way for Frank and Nancy Sinatra?
0:26:35 > 0:26:38Unfortunately, Nyil,
0:26:38 > 0:26:40that is an incorrect answer.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43You've scored a maximum of 100 points giving you a total of 106.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Richard?
0:26:45 > 0:26:50One of the few occasions on Pointless where saying "Something stupid" would have seen you through.
0:26:50 > 0:26:54Somethin' Stupid would have scored 16 points.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57The big scorer up there is Elton John and Kiki Dee.
0:26:57 > 0:27:02- Don't Go Breaking My Heart would have scored a hefty 48 points.- 48?
0:27:02 > 0:27:04Diana Ross and Lionel Richie - Endless Love.
0:27:06 > 0:27:11Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes - Love Lifts Us Up Where We Belong.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13- 13?!- Also scored 13, yes.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15You'd think that would be higher?
0:27:15 > 0:27:18Higher than Don't Go Breaking My Heart. Elton, no offence.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22Thanks, Richard. At the end of Round Two,
0:27:22 > 0:27:25the losing pair with the highest score is Nyil and Luke.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28One of those awful rounds. You either know it or you don't.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30What would you have loved to have come up?
0:27:30 > 0:27:35I enjoyed the first round. I was all right on that. Yeah, just a shame.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38Just a shame. We'll see you, of course, next time,
0:27:38 > 0:27:42when I'm sure you'll go a lot further. You've been great contestants. Thanks.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49For the remaining pairs, things get more exciting in the head-to-head.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59Well done, Andy and Phil, Emma and Sarah.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01You're through to the head-to-head.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05Only one pair can make it to the final and play for the jackpot which stands at...
0:28:13 > 0:28:16You now go head-to-head on the best of three questions.
0:28:16 > 0:28:21Each question, each pair needs to give me just one answer and you may now confer.
0:28:21 > 0:28:26All you have to do is come up with an answer that scores less than the other pair.
0:28:26 > 0:28:30The pair who get the best of three will play for today's jackpot.
0:28:30 > 0:28:31Let's play Pointless!
0:28:38 > 0:28:42First question. We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name...
0:28:47 > 0:28:51Wives of post-war US presidents.
0:28:51 > 0:28:55- Richard?- We want the name of any wife of any US president
0:28:55 > 0:28:58from the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1945
0:28:58 > 0:29:00through to the start of 2011.
0:29:00 > 0:29:04They have to have been wives of the president while he was in office.
0:29:04 > 0:29:08We'll accept given names or names by which they were better known.
0:29:08 > 0:29:12Thanks, Richard. Andy and Phil, as you played best in the show so far, you go first.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15Wives of post-war US presidents.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26- I think I have convinced.- Good!
0:29:26 > 0:29:28You looked happy with that as a category.
0:29:28 > 0:29:31We'll go for Laura Bush.
0:29:31 > 0:29:32Laura Bush.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34Emma and Sarah?
0:29:34 > 0:29:38Laura Bush is no longer available.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41- This isn't our strong point! - Not at all.
0:29:41 > 0:29:46I think we might have to go for Michelle Obama.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48Yeah. We should go for that.
0:29:48 > 0:29:53- Definitely.- OK. It's not a strong answer, but to stop ourselves looking silly,
0:29:53 > 0:29:54we'll go for Michelle Obama.
0:29:54 > 0:29:58OK. We've got Laura Bush and Michelle Obama.
0:29:58 > 0:30:03In the order they were given, Andy and Phil, how many people said Laura Bush?
0:30:03 > 0:30:05It was right.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19Eight people said Laura Bush.
0:30:19 > 0:30:25Emma and Sarah have said Michelle Obama. Is that right, and how many people said it?
0:30:30 > 0:30:32Down it goes!
0:30:36 > 0:30:40Not a bad score, all things considered, for Michelle Obama.
0:30:40 > 0:30:44After the first question, Andy and Phil are ahead one-nil.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46There were 12 possible answers.
0:30:46 > 0:30:50I know some people at home will have got all of them.
0:30:50 > 0:30:51Two of them were pointless.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58Well done if you said those.
0:31:25 > 0:31:30Very good. Thanks very much. OK, here is your second question.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name...
0:31:38 > 0:31:41Multiple world snooker champions. Emma and Sarah?
0:31:44 > 0:31:47- World snooker champions. - Playing into your hands!
0:31:47 > 0:31:51Any of the eight men who've won the world snooker championship more than once
0:31:51 > 0:31:57since it reverted to a knock-out tournament in 1969 up to the beginning of 2011.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00Thanks, Richard. Emma and Sarah, you get to go first.
0:32:00 > 0:32:04INAUDIBLE CONFERRING
0:32:08 > 0:32:10- OK.- We have an answer.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13I have heard of a chap
0:32:13 > 0:32:16called Paul Hunt.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18I'm not sure if that's actually his name
0:32:18 > 0:32:21and I'm not sure if he plays snooker!
0:32:21 > 0:32:23LAUGHTER
0:32:23 > 0:32:27I'm not sure if he's won any snooker championships.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30- I'll tell you what, it's a name. - It's definitely a name.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32Paul Hunt. Now,
0:32:32 > 0:32:35Andy and Phil, Paul Hunt is off the table!
0:32:35 > 0:32:39- That's a relief!- If you wanted to play, he's off.
0:32:40 > 0:32:44- I'm not so sure about him. - No, we'll go for Hendry.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46We'll go for Stephen Hendry.
0:32:46 > 0:32:51Stephen Hendry. We have Paul Hunt, we have Stephen Hendry. OK. Paul Hunt,
0:32:51 > 0:32:56let's see. Do you exist and if you do, how many people knew your name?
0:33:01 > 0:33:04Bad luck.
0:33:04 > 0:33:08Andy and Phil have gone with Stephen Hendry. All it has to be is correct.
0:33:08 > 0:33:10Stephen Hendry.
0:33:12 > 0:33:14It's right.
0:33:15 > 0:33:2165 people said Stephen Hendry, but as I say, it only needed to be correct.
0:33:21 > 0:33:26Which means, after two questions, Andy and Phil are through in straight sets to the final.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28Richard?
0:33:28 > 0:33:32Paul Hunt is not the worst thing you could have said. It's Paul Hunter.
0:33:32 > 0:33:37He won the Masters a few times, never won the world title and sadly passed away much too young.
0:33:37 > 0:33:41But there are eight answers up here. Let's take a look at all of them.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44Mark Williams won it twice, he's from Wales.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47John Spencer won three times.
0:33:47 > 0:33:51John Higgins has won it three times up to 2011.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54Alex Higgins won it twice.
0:33:54 > 0:33:58Ronnie O'Sullivan and Ray Reardon. Reardon won it six times.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00Hendry won it seven times.
0:34:00 > 0:34:04And Steve Davis also won it six times.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07Well done if you got all eight of them.
0:34:07 > 0:34:08Thanks, Richard.
0:34:08 > 0:34:13So the losing pair at the end of the head-to-head, I'm afraid, is Emma and Sarah.
0:34:13 > 0:34:14No!
0:34:14 > 0:34:18They were really tough categories. Snooker, for heaven's sake!
0:34:18 > 0:34:22- Yeah.- Not our speciality! - No, not our specialist subject.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24It was a specialist one, that.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27And presidents' wives also quite tough. Well,
0:34:27 > 0:34:31we'll see you next time. This is only your first shot at the final.
0:34:31 > 0:34:35Everyone gets two cracks at it. We'll see you then, when I hope you do even better.
0:34:35 > 0:34:38Thanks for playing - great contestants.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44For Andy and Phil, it's time for our Pointless final
0:34:44 > 0:34:48and the chance to win our jackpot of £1,250.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57Very well done, Andy and Phil.
0:34:57 > 0:35:02You've fought off the competition and won our coveted Pointless trophy. Well done!
0:35:10 > 0:35:14You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:14 > 0:35:19At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at an impressive...
0:35:22 > 0:35:28To win that money, you just have to find a pointless answer no-one else could think of.
0:35:28 > 0:35:32We've had one pointless answer on the show today, that was yours, Phil.
0:35:32 > 0:35:36You only need one more pointless answer to get that money. First, choose a category.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39The three options are...
0:35:44 > 0:35:46What do you think of those?
0:35:46 > 0:35:49I think it's a bit of a no-brainer for us!
0:35:49 > 0:35:50It's cycling, isn't it?
0:35:50 > 0:35:54LAUGHTER
0:35:54 > 0:35:56- Film stars.- Film stars. - Between you,
0:35:56 > 0:35:59you cover quite a lot of ground in film.
0:35:59 > 0:36:04OK. What would you love the question to be? What would be your dream question?
0:36:04 > 0:36:07Ooh, Bette Davis films.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10Bette Davis. And you, Andy?
0:36:10 > 0:36:16She made a lot. Bette Davis films with Joan Crawford in them would be even better!
0:36:18 > 0:36:20Let's see what that question is.
0:36:20 > 0:36:24We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name
0:36:24 > 0:36:29as many Pierce Brosnan films as they could.
0:36:29 > 0:36:35- Richard?- Any feature film made for cinema release for which Pierce Brosnan received an acting credit,
0:36:35 > 0:36:38including voice acting.
0:36:38 > 0:36:42No short films, documentaries, TV films or things where he played himself.
0:36:42 > 0:36:46But any feature film for which Pierce Brosnan received an acting credit.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49This is up to the beginning of 2011.
0:36:49 > 0:36:53You now have up to one minute to come up with three answers
0:36:53 > 0:36:56and all you need to win that £1,250 jackpot
0:36:56 > 0:36:58is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:36:58 > 0:37:00Your 60 seconds start now.
0:37:00 > 0:37:03James Bond films.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06I can't remember the names of the Bond films he was in.
0:37:06 > 0:37:10- Angela's Ashes. Was he a father in Angela's Ashes?- No idea.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12Is he in a film called The Matador?
0:37:12 > 0:37:14Quite possibly!
0:37:14 > 0:37:19- I've got a feeling he's in a film called The Matador.- OK.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21But what are the Bond films?
0:37:22 > 0:37:25Tomorrow Never Dies? Is that one?
0:37:25 > 0:37:28Maybe, yes. I'm not a Bond expert, as you know.
0:37:28 > 0:37:30Or a Pierce Brosnan expert!
0:37:30 > 0:37:35- He's in Mamma Mia, isn't he? - Everybody's seen that. Apart from us!
0:37:38 > 0:37:40Something else obscure and a bit Irish.
0:37:40 > 0:37:43- One of those Roddy Doyle films or something?- No idea.
0:37:43 > 0:37:48Is he a villain in something like one of those big action films
0:37:48 > 0:37:52- where they get non-Americans to be villains?- Not a villain.
0:37:52 > 0:37:56I've got a feeling he's in a film called The Matador. You say Angela's Ashes.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59- Five seconds left.- We'll have a go on that Bond film.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01- Which one?- Tomorrow Never Dies.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03There's your minute.
0:38:03 > 0:38:07We're looking for Pierce Brosnan films. I need your three answers.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10- The Matador.- The Matador.
0:38:10 > 0:38:14- Tomorrow Never Dies. - Tomorrow Never Dies.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17- And Angela's Ashes.- Angela's Ashes.
0:38:17 > 0:38:21Of those, which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:21 > 0:38:23- Matador?- I think The Matador.
0:38:23 > 0:38:24- The Matador last?- Yeah.
0:38:24 > 0:38:27And you're least confident on...
0:38:27 > 0:38:32I know he's in James Bond films, but I can't remember what they were called.
0:38:32 > 0:38:37- Tomorrow Never Dies is one. - Tomorrow Never Dies, Angela's Ashes, and The Matador.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40Those are your three answers in your prescribed order.
0:38:48 > 0:38:52OK. This was your least confident answer.
0:38:52 > 0:38:56Your first shot at the Pointless jackpot.
0:38:56 > 0:39:00It has to be a pointless answer for you to win that £1,250.
0:39:00 > 0:39:03How many people said Tomorrow Never Dies?
0:39:04 > 0:39:07Well, it's right. We knew it was.
0:39:07 > 0:39:11This will give us some indication of what our 100 people knew.
0:39:11 > 0:39:15The further down it goes, the better it looks for your subsequent answers.
0:39:15 > 0:39:18Look at that! 12 points.
0:39:24 > 0:39:28I'd draw great comfort from that. 12 points for Tomorrow Never Dies.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31It's not a pointless answer, but you weren't expecting it to be.
0:39:31 > 0:39:33It was just holding the place for you!
0:39:33 > 0:39:37You now have two more chances to win today's jackpot.
0:39:37 > 0:39:41Two more realistic punts at a pointless answer.
0:39:41 > 0:39:43Angela's Ashes. How confident were you on that?
0:39:43 > 0:39:48I know that there's a big name Irish actor in that film,
0:39:48 > 0:39:52but I don't know if it's him or one of the other Irish actors.
0:39:52 > 0:39:56He has a habit of cropping up in these art house films.
0:39:56 > 0:39:58- Quite unexpectedly.- So...
0:39:58 > 0:40:03- But I wouldn't be completely shocked if it was wrong.- OK.
0:40:03 > 0:40:06£1,250. What would you do with that?
0:40:06 > 0:40:09A nice couple of long weekends away somewhere.
0:40:09 > 0:40:12Where would you go?
0:40:12 > 0:40:18Well, we go to Spain a lot, so we'd probably treat ourselves to a nice hotel in Madrid or Seville,
0:40:18 > 0:40:19somewhere like that.
0:40:19 > 0:40:24Very good. Very good. Let's hope Angela's Ashes, your next answer,
0:40:24 > 0:40:27will get you to Madrid or Seville.
0:40:29 > 0:40:33It has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot of £1,250.
0:40:33 > 0:40:34Is it correct
0:40:34 > 0:40:37and if so, how many people said Angela's Ashes?
0:40:42 > 0:40:46Bad luck. That seemed so likely, for a moment there.
0:40:46 > 0:40:50Right. You only have one more chance to win today's jackpot.
0:40:50 > 0:40:54For £1,250 your last chance is The Matador.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58- It was somewhere at the back of your mind, Phil.- Yes.
0:40:58 > 0:41:03- That's where people get these jackpot-winning answers. - He's got a big moustache.
0:41:03 > 0:41:09- Yes...- And he's walking around in swimming trunks a lot, but I don't know if it's The Matador.
0:41:09 > 0:41:11This is the answer you were most confident with.
0:41:11 > 0:41:131,250 quid.
0:41:13 > 0:41:15The Matador.
0:41:15 > 0:41:18Is it correct, and if so, how many people said it?
0:41:19 > 0:41:21It's right!
0:41:21 > 0:41:23It's right!
0:41:23 > 0:41:27That is crucial. £1,250 if this goes all the way to zero.
0:41:27 > 0:41:28It has to be pointless.
0:41:28 > 0:41:32It's your last and best shot. Is it going to be pointless?
0:41:32 > 0:41:34Oh!
0:41:34 > 0:41:36APPLAUSE
0:41:42 > 0:41:44Bad luck!
0:41:44 > 0:41:47I thought that was going all the way down to nothing.
0:41:47 > 0:41:49Unfortunately, it didn't.
0:41:49 > 0:41:53You didn't find that all-important pointless answer,
0:41:53 > 0:41:57so you don't win today's jackpot of £1,250 which rolls over to the next show.
0:41:57 > 0:42:01You have been fantastic contestants and you get our Pointless trophy.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03APPLAUSE
0:42:11 > 0:42:13So, Richard?
0:42:13 > 0:42:15Tough luck, guys. You played well.
0:42:15 > 0:42:19Mamma Mia was top of the list, the Bond films, The Thomas Crown Affair.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22A lot of pointless answers here.
0:42:22 > 0:42:26The Long Good Friday, his first film role, with Helen Mirren and Bob Hoskins.
0:42:26 > 0:42:29Butterfly On A Wheel with Gerard Butler.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32Mrs Doubtfire. He was the love interest of Robin Williams' ex.
0:42:32 > 0:42:35Seraphim Falls with Liam Neeson.
0:42:35 > 0:42:38The 1997 adaptation of Robinson Crusoe.
0:42:38 > 0:42:42The voice of King Arthur in Quest For Camelot.
0:42:42 > 0:42:45Grey Owl he was in more recently.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47Nomads, and The Match,
0:42:47 > 0:42:51a British film from the late '90s about two Scottish pub football teams.
0:42:51 > 0:42:53I hope none of those ring too many bells!
0:42:53 > 0:42:57Well, unfortunately, we do have to say goodbye to you,
0:42:57 > 0:43:00Andy and Phil, but you've been fantastic contestants.
0:43:00 > 0:43:03Thanks so much for playing. Thank you.
0:43:06 > 0:43:13Nobody's won our jackpot so it rolls over. On the next show we'll be playing for £2,250.
0:43:16 > 0:43:20- Join us again to see if someone can win. It's goodbye from Richard...- Goodbye!
0:43:20 > 0:43:22..and goodbye from me. Goodbye!
