0:00:20 > 0:00:24CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Thank you. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,
0:00:27 > 0:00:32the quiz show where the lowest scorers are the biggest winners. Let's meet the players.
0:00:35 > 0:00:40Welcome back, Lilian and Liz. You were on the show last time.
0:00:40 > 0:00:45Everyone gets two shots to reach the Pointless final. This is your second time.
0:00:45 > 0:00:49- Yes.- Remind us how you did. - Not very well, unfortunately.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52- Don't like cricket. - It was county cricket.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55- Yes.- That won't be back. Not for at least another couple of shows.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57Lilian, what do you do in your spare time?
0:00:57 > 0:01:01A number of things, but I have fits and starts,
0:01:01 > 0:01:06and I did a course at night school on welding.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10- HE LAUGHS - Have you really?
0:01:10 > 0:01:15- Fantastic!- And I was dressed in an orange boiler suit. I looked like a little fat tangerine.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19- THEY LAUGH - Very good. Lovely to have you back.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22- Thank you.- Hope you do better this time. I'm sure you will.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26Next we welcome Lucy and Rod. How do you know each other?
0:01:26 > 0:01:29We started off working together about three years ago
0:01:29 > 0:01:34and it quickly turned into us going out and we've been going out ever since.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37That's lovely! What work were you doing?
0:01:37 > 0:01:40We used to work for a quite well-known high street chain.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43And you met in the stock room, did you, downstairs?
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Well, we didn't meet in the stock room but...
0:01:46 > 0:01:50- LAUGHTER - Hang on.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52"We didn't meet in the stock room,
0:01:52 > 0:01:58"we did go to the stock room from time to time."
0:01:58 > 0:02:00- Well, yeah.- Yeah!
0:02:00 > 0:02:04Anyway, very best of luck to you. Lovely to have you here.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07And welcome, Daniel and John. How do you two know each other?
0:02:07 > 0:02:10We met at a Gilbert and Sullivan appreciation society in Leeds.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14Very good indeed. What's your favourite operetta?
0:02:14 > 0:02:20- It's got to be The Mikado.- It's got to be! A wandering minstrel, I.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24- Indeed.- That is The Mikado, isn't it? Is it?
0:02:24 > 0:02:28- Yes.- Phew! Very best of luck to the pair of you.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32Finally, we have Mark and Amanda. How do you know each other?
0:02:32 > 0:02:35We met through mutual friends about eight years ago
0:02:35 > 0:02:41- and we've been married for 18 months.- Many congratulations! - Thank you.- Mark, what do you do?
0:02:41 > 0:02:46I'm a residential support worker and I work with young people
0:02:46 > 0:02:52and just help them with life skills and cook, clean, try to set boundaries,
0:02:52 > 0:02:56which they never want to adhere to because they're teenagers.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00- Indeed. How about you, Amanda? - I work as a travel consultant
0:03:00 > 0:03:05- so I send people to exotic places all over the world.- Oh, excellent.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08We'll be finding out more about all of you throughout the show.
0:03:08 > 0:03:13Only one more person left to introduce. He is a beacon of knowledge in the dark world
0:03:13 > 0:03:18- of obscure facts and figures. He's my Pointless friend, he's Richard. - Hiya.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Afternoon.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26- A very, very good afternoon to you, Richard.- Are you well?
0:03:26 > 0:03:30- I mustn't grumble.- Good. Are you excited about the show ahead?
0:03:30 > 0:03:35- I am.- We've got a good show. We've only got one returning pair today, that's Lilian and Liz.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39Didn't cover themselves in glory last time, I think it's fair to say.
0:03:39 > 0:03:46Twickenham is not the best answer we've had this series when asking for a first-class county cricket team.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49Even Twickenhamshire might have been a better answer.
0:03:49 > 0:03:54And the worse news for you, Lilian, is there are no welding questions.
0:03:54 > 0:03:59- I know quite often we have them. - Yeah.- But no welding questions at all today.- Strange.
0:03:59 > 0:04:03- Sorry about that. - We put all out questions to 100 people before the show.
0:04:03 > 0:04:08But this is Pointless, so we are after the obscure answers they didn't get.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12What everyone's trying to do is find a pointless answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16Each time that happens, we will add 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20Nobody won the jackpot last time, so we add another £1,000 to that.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24So today's jackpot starts off at £3,500.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:04:29 > 0:04:32- Right, let's play Pointless. - APPLAUSE
0:04:36 > 0:04:38In the first round, each of you must give me
0:04:38 > 0:04:41one answer and you cannot confer with your partner.
0:04:41 > 0:04:47The team with the highest score will be eliminated. Careful it's not you.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51If anyone gives me an incorrect answer, they will score the maximum of 100 points.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55OK, our first category is...
0:04:58 > 0:05:02Can you decide in your pairs who will go first, who will go second?
0:05:02 > 0:05:06And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:05:09 > 0:05:17We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many Jack Nicholson films as they could.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20- Jack Nicholson films. Richard. - We're looking for any film
0:05:20 > 0:05:26made for a cinema release for which Jack Nicholson has received an acting credit up to the start of 2011.
0:05:26 > 0:05:32Voiceover acting counts, but we don't count short films and TV films and documentaries, that sort of thing.
0:05:32 > 0:05:38So any Jack Nicholson film. There are a huge amount of films on this list, as you can imagine.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40And a lot of them are pointless.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44Right. Liz and Lilian, you are going first.
0:05:44 > 0:05:49You all drew lots before the show and you are in pole position this afternoon.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Liz, Jack Nicholson films.
0:05:53 > 0:05:58Well, I'm not a fan of Jack Nicholson. I do know one that he was definitely in.
0:05:58 > 0:06:03- What's it going to be? - One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. - One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07- What do you think, Lilian? - Yes, that's correct.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Ooh, it's correct? Good, good.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12- I hope!- Well, you're hoping to score as few points as possible.
0:06:12 > 0:06:17You're saying One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. I think it might be correct. Lilian says it is.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21Let's see how many people said it, One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26It's right.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Down it goes.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33- Very, very well done, Liz. - APPLAUSE
0:06:33 > 0:06:36That scores you 26.
0:06:36 > 0:06:431975, One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, and he won the Oscar for it, for his role as RP McMurphy.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46Very good. Thanks, Richard. So then, Lucy.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50Right. The one I'm going to go for
0:06:50 > 0:06:52is going to score very highly,
0:06:52 > 0:06:55but I'm going to go for The Shining.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Ah, yes. The Shining. That one.
0:06:58 > 0:07:04Let's see if it's right, and if it is, how many of our 100 people said The Shining.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08There it is.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13- 41! - APPLAUSE
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Not such a terrible score after all, Lucy.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19The Shining scoring 41. Richard.
0:07:19 > 0:07:24Yeah, The Shining, a pretty good score. The Stanley Kubrick movie from 1980.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26- 1980?- 1980, yeah.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29- Is that when it was made?- No.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32- LAUGHTER - I always imagined it was much earlier than that.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35- No, 1980.- 1980.- Yeah.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39If you were the other way around, I could say, "And here's Jonny!" But I can't.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42- LAUGHTER - It's Daniel.
0:07:42 > 0:07:47So, Daniel, what's the most obscure Jack Nicholson film you can think of?
0:07:47 > 0:07:51- I have a feeling you might have a few up your sleeve. - I do like Jack Nicholson.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53I've seen a handful of movies.
0:07:53 > 0:07:59I think my particular favourite is probably About Schmidt.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03About Schmidt. You're hoping to score as few points as possible and hoping it's correct.
0:08:03 > 0:08:08Let's see if it is and how many people said About Schmidt.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12It's right.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15I have a feeling this might go a long way down.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20- CHEERING AND APPLAUSE - Well done, Daniel!
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Very well done indeed!
0:08:24 > 0:08:29That's a pointless answer. It adds £250 to today's jackpot total,
0:08:29 > 0:08:33taking the sum total up to £3,750. Very, very well done.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37- CHEERING AND APPLAUSE - And best of all, it scored you nothing.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41Very well played. That's the way to introduce yourself to the show.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43From 2002, About Schmidt. Very good film.
0:08:43 > 0:08:49He plays a 60-something who's trying to re-examine his life. It's more fun than that makes it sound.
0:08:50 > 0:08:56Very good. Now then, Mark, remember we are looking for Jack Nicholson films.
0:08:56 > 0:09:01I'm going to go for... Anger Management.
0:09:01 > 0:09:08- Very, very good. Anger Management. You're hoping to score as few points as possible.- Yes, I am hoping.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12Let's see if Anger Management is correct, and if it is, how many people said it.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15If it's right, I have a feeling this will go a long way down.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19There we are, it's right. You knew it was right.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Very, very good. Down it comes.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27- Six! - APPLAUSE
0:09:27 > 0:09:29That's a pretty good score, Mark.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33Not bad at all. Anger Management, Richard.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36Yeah, well played, Mark. I thought that would be a bit lower than six.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40- He stars opposite Adam Sandler. It's from 2003.- OK.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44We're halfway through the round so let's take a look at the scores.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48On zero, Daniel and John. Excellent low score.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52Then on six, just a little bit ahead, Mark and Amanda.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55Fabulous answer there with Anger Management.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59Then we leap up to 26. It's not a massive leap though, Liz.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02- Better than last time. - Much better than last time.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06And we then go up significantly higher, I'm afraid, to Lucy.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10- The Shining. Well, it's better than getting it wrong. - Yeah.- Remember that.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13Anything could happen in the next pass, as we're about to discover.
0:10:13 > 0:10:19We're going to come back down the line. Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:10:20 > 0:10:24Right, Amanda, we are looking for Jack Nicholson films.
0:10:24 > 0:10:29I think he may have been in a film called As Good As It Gets.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32I can't quite see Mark's eyes. I think Mark's pleased with that.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36He is, he's pleased, he's nodding. You are on six.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39The high scorers are Rod and Lucy on 41.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43If you can score 34 or less with this answer, you are definitely through to the next round.
0:10:43 > 0:10:48It's not the end if you're over. The other three pairs have yet to answer. There's your red line.
0:10:48 > 0:10:53Below that red line and As Good As It Gets will see you through to the next round.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Let's see if it's right, and if it is, how many people said it.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00There we are, well done.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06Very well done, Amanda! Down you go. Six!
0:11:06 > 0:11:08CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:11:08 > 0:11:12That's very well done indeed. You equal Mark's low score in the first pass,
0:11:12 > 0:11:16- taking the total up to 12. Richard. - Well played. You're through.
0:11:16 > 0:11:22Another Oscar-winning performance from Jack Nicholson. Nominated for About Schmidt, as well.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25- Not bad going, is it? - Not half bad. Now, John.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30- Didn't Daniel do brilliantly? - He did OK.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34Do you share Daniel's expertise on obscure Jack Nicholson films?
0:11:34 > 0:11:37- I think I might be able to do OK. - That's good.
0:11:37 > 0:11:42I'm going to go with something he wasn't really the lead star of, which I'm hoping will pay off.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44I'm going to guess Terms Of Endearment.
0:11:44 > 0:11:50Well, you're on nothing at the moment. The high scorers remain Rod and Lucy.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53If you can score 40 or less, you are definitely in the next round.
0:11:53 > 0:11:58There's your red line. Let's see if Terms Of Endearment gets you below that red line.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02Very well done.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Very well done indeed. Down it goes.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:12:12 > 0:12:14That's a fabulous score, John.
0:12:14 > 0:12:19Brilliant. Terms of Endearment scores you one, gives you a total of one. Richard.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21John is rubbish compared to Daniel, though.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24- Yeah, isn't he?- Don't you think?
0:12:24 > 0:12:28Yeah, 1983, another film for which he won an Oscar.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32He won Oscars for As Good As It Gets, Terms of Endearment, best supporting actor,
0:12:32 > 0:12:37he won one for One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest and was nominated for one for About Schmidt.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40So many of these answers so far are Oscar-winning or nominated roles.
0:12:40 > 0:12:45- Amazing, isn't it? - By the time you've got that many Oscars, you want to hollow it out,
0:12:45 > 0:12:48put a flex up there and turn it into a nice lamp.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51- LAUGHTER - Very well done, John.
0:12:51 > 0:12:56Now, Rod, we come to you. You know what you have to do here.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59It's a tussle between you and Lilian. You could just fight it out here
0:12:59 > 0:13:04or you could do it through the medium of Jack Nicholson films. Which would you prefer?
0:13:04 > 0:13:06I'll go for the latter option.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09That's really dull, but yes, all right.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13- OK.- I'm not a very good fighter.- OK.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15All the ones I was going to answer have gone,
0:13:15 > 0:13:19so I'll go for one early in his career and I think he was in it.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22I think it's called Five Easy Pieces.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Five Easy Pieces.
0:13:24 > 0:13:30You're the high scorers so there's no red line, there's no score that you have to beat.
0:13:30 > 0:13:35You just have to score as few points as possible. Let's see if Five Easy Pieces will do it for you.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39It's right, Rod!
0:13:40 > 0:13:45I think it's a brilliant answer. I'd be very surprised if this doesn't go all the way down.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48- Oh! - CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:13:49 > 0:13:51Very, very well done, Rod.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55Not quite a pointless, but it scores you one and takes your total up to
0:13:55 > 0:14:00maybe a score that might save you, 42. Richard.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03Well played. Very high quality round, lots of good answers.
0:14:03 > 0:14:07- Once again, nominated for an Oscar for that role.- Wow.
0:14:07 > 0:14:12- When he read Terms Of Endearment, he said, "The second I read the script, I knew I'd win the Oscar."- Wow.
0:14:12 > 0:14:16- That's cocky, isn't it?- Straight down to the electrical shop.- Yep.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20- Drill a hole through that. - Just some flex, please, and a plug.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24- Oh, and a bulb. - LAUGHTER
0:14:24 > 0:14:29Now, Lilian, Rod has just thrown a Five-Easy-Pieces-shaped gauntlet at your feet.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32- He certainly has.- Mm.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35He is on 42. They remain the high scorers, Rod and Lucy.
0:14:35 > 0:14:40You are on 26. If you can find an answer that scores 15 points or less,
0:14:40 > 0:14:45we'll be saying goodbye to Rod and Lucy and you and Liz will be staying for the next round.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49- Unfortunately, some of my answers have already been found.- Hm.
0:14:49 > 0:14:56But I'm going to have a go at... The Witches Of Eastwick.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59The Witches Of Eastwick. There's your red line.
0:14:59 > 0:15:05You have to score 15 or less. If The Witches Of Eastwick gets you below that red line,
0:15:05 > 0:15:10- you are through to the next round and we say goodbye to Rod and Lucy. - It's a long way to go.
0:15:10 > 0:15:15OK, Witches Of Eastwick, let's see if it's right, and if it is, how many people said it.
0:15:15 > 0:15:20- This is very exciting. - LAUGHTER - It is!
0:15:24 > 0:15:28- It's right.- Good. - It's right. Look, it's haring down towards that red line.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30Is it going to go?
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Oh, no!
0:15:33 > 0:15:35APPLAUSE
0:15:35 > 0:15:38- Oh, no, Lilian!- No, no, no.
0:15:38 > 0:15:44Oh, I want to go and sit on that line and just push it down so we can have you on the show a bit longer.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48- That's so unfair. I'm so sorry. Brilliant answer, though.- Thank you.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52I'd completely forgotten about The Witches Of Eastwick. Evidently, 18 people hadn't.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55That takes your total up to 44. Richard.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59Yeah, tough luck, Lilian. 1987 film based on the John Updike novel
0:15:59 > 0:16:03which Jack Nicholson is rather good in. There are many pointless answers here.
0:16:03 > 0:16:09These are some of the things that would've seen you through. About Schmidt which we had from Daniel.
0:16:09 > 0:16:14Broadcast News with William Hurt. Goin' South was a pointless answer.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17Ironweed, another Oscar nomination for that.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19He was in Reds, that's a pointless answer.
0:16:19 > 0:16:23The romantic comedy Something's Gotta Give, that was pointless.
0:16:23 > 0:16:29The Cry Baby Killer, The Evening Star and The Two Jakes, which was the loose Chinatown sequel,
0:16:29 > 0:16:32that was also pointless. Very well done if you got any of those at home.
0:16:32 > 0:16:38Let's take a look at the most obvious answers, that most people said.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41Batman is 23.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44Liz said One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest and it was a low score
0:16:44 > 0:16:49but actually the second highest score of all, 26.
0:16:49 > 0:16:54And right at the top, we had it from Lucy, The Shining, 41.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57Very interesting. Thank you, Richard. At the end of round one,
0:16:57 > 0:17:02- the losing pair with the highest score, I'm so sorry, it's Lilian and Liz.- Gutted.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04And it's not that high a score, either.
0:17:04 > 0:17:09Turns out all these people were film buffs. Who would've known?
0:17:09 > 0:17:12What have you learnt from your time on Pointless?
0:17:12 > 0:17:15Not to study metalwork and to go and do films next.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18- LAUGHTER - Go to night school on films.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22It's been fabulous having you on the show. Sorry we're saying goodbye.
0:17:22 > 0:17:27- It's been fabulous being here. - Thanks.- Thank you very much. - Thanks for playing.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30APPLAUSE
0:17:30 > 0:17:34But for the remaining three pairs, it's time for round two.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43Only two pairs can make it through to the head-to-head,
0:17:43 > 0:17:46so one team will leave us at the end of this round disappointed.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49The category for round two is...
0:17:51 > 0:17:54Amanda likes this.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58Can you decide in your pairs who'll go first, who'll go second?
0:17:58 > 0:18:01And whoever's going first please step up to the podium.
0:18:06 > 0:18:12And our round two question concerns US state abbreviations.
0:18:12 > 0:18:18US state abbreviations. We're about to show you a list of abbreviations for American states.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22We asked 100 people to tell us which state they represent.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26- Richard.- We're going to show you six abbreviations on each pass.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29The more obscure ones will score you fewer points.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32An incorrect answer will score 100 points.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34See how many of the 12 you can get at home.
0:18:34 > 0:18:40Thanks, Richard. We are looking for the states that these abbreviations represent. We have got...
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Right, Lucy.
0:18:58 > 0:19:04Right, OK. I'm going to go with AL being Alabama.
0:19:04 > 0:19:09AL being Alabama. "Alabarma."
0:19:09 > 0:19:13Barak Obama's brother, "Al Abama." THEY LAUGH
0:19:13 > 0:19:18OK, let's see if Alabama is indeed AL, and if it is, how many people said it.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20Alabama. Good luck.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24It's right.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29- 45. - APPLAUSE
0:19:31 > 0:19:3545. It wasn't devastatingly difficult, was it?
0:19:35 > 0:19:40- So 45 I would say is about right. - OK.- Commensurate score, I'd say. 45.
0:19:40 > 0:19:44- Richard.- Well done, Lucy. I think that was quite a risky choice.
0:19:44 > 0:19:49Very interesting. Thank you very much, Richard. John.
0:19:49 > 0:19:54Remember, we are looking for the US states that are represented by these abbreviations.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Can you think of a good few American states?
0:19:56 > 0:20:02- Yeah, I can. I can. - Are any of them suggesting some kind of affiliation with these?
0:20:02 > 0:20:06There's a couple I can guess at. It's just it could so easily be wrong.
0:20:06 > 0:20:10I'm just going to take an educated punt
0:20:10 > 0:20:12and I'm going to say MT, Montana.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15MT, there it is. Montana you're saying.
0:20:15 > 0:20:20Let's see if MT is indeed Montana, and if it is, how many people knew that answer.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Well done. Well done, John.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28There we are. Down it comes.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31Montana scoring you 22.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35- A good answer. - APPLAUSE
0:20:35 > 0:20:37- Richard.- Yeah, well done, John.
0:20:37 > 0:20:43It's one of the least populated states in America. It's only got 6.8 people per square mile, Montana.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46Thanks very much, Richard. Now then, Amanda.
0:20:46 > 0:20:50- Yes.- Amanda, this plays right into your hands,
0:20:50 > 0:20:52being a travel consultant as you are.
0:20:52 > 0:20:57- This could be embarrassing.- It could be. Happily, it won't be.- No.
0:20:57 > 0:21:03I'm going to go with the one that I'm most confident of
0:21:03 > 0:21:05but think it's worth fewer points.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08So I'm going to go with KS, Kansas.
0:21:08 > 0:21:13KS, Kansas. It does look a little bit like a departure board for a domestic flight.
0:21:13 > 0:21:18Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said Kansas, KS.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22It's right.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25Ooh. Ooh.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28APPLAUSE
0:21:28 > 0:21:32Turns out a lot of people knew that one, Amanda. That scores you 79.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36- Richard.- Yeah, big score. Were there any others you were tempted to go for?
0:21:36 > 0:21:39Yeah, but I thought they would've been worth more than that.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43The best one you could've gone for would've been CT. Do you know CT?
0:21:43 > 0:21:47That's that tough one. The best answer left. It's Connecticut.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Would've score 29.
0:21:49 > 0:21:54CA is California. That would've set you back 77.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58Less than Kansas but still a lot. And NY is the biggest answer
0:21:58 > 0:22:02with 91. So Montana, the best answer on the board, John.
0:22:03 > 0:22:08Very good. Thanks. We're halfway through the round so let's take a look at the scores.
0:22:08 > 0:22:1322, John and Daniel. Very, very good score. The best on the board.
0:22:13 > 0:22:1845, Lucy, for Alabama.
0:22:18 > 0:22:22Then Amanda, unfortunately, Kansas, very costly.
0:22:22 > 0:22:2679, that's a high score. So Mark, you know what you have to do.
0:22:26 > 0:22:31- Lots to do.- Yes. You have a bit of a mountain to climb. Very good.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34Back down the line. Second players, take your places.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43OK, we're going to put six more abbreviations for American states on the board. Here they are.
0:22:58 > 0:23:02Remember, we are looking for the states that they represent
0:23:02 > 0:23:06and you're trying to find the one that the fewest of our 100 people knew. Mark.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08You're the high scorers on 79.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12You have to find the best answer you can.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Yes, I do, don't I?
0:23:14 > 0:23:16I'm still not very confident on any of these.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19I'm going to go for one of the obvious ones, I'm afraid,
0:23:19 > 0:23:22and it's the AZ for the Arizona.
0:23:22 > 0:23:27AZ for Arizona. There's no red line for you because you are the high scorers,
0:23:27 > 0:23:30but let's see if Arizona is AZ, and if it is, how many people said it.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35It's right. Oh!
0:23:35 > 0:23:40It is exactly the same high score as Amanda got for Kansas.
0:23:40 > 0:23:45It takes your total up to a beautifully symmetrical 158.
0:23:45 > 0:23:50- Richard.- Symmetrical again, cos you both got six in the first round. The same scores in both rounds.
0:23:50 > 0:23:55If we gave out prizes for symmetricality, you would be garlanded.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59- It's symmetry. Just symmetry. - What did I say?- Symmetricality.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01THEY LAUGH
0:24:01 > 0:24:05It probably does mean... It's probably a slightly nuanced version.
0:24:05 > 0:24:09Symmetricality. What an idiot.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11THEY LAUGH
0:24:11 > 0:24:14Yeah, Arizona, well done, 79 points. Home of the Grand Canyon.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17A big score. It's the only state with a Z in its name
0:24:17 > 0:24:21so I think maybe one of the more obvious abbreviations.
0:24:21 > 0:24:26Yes, indeed. Well, Mark and Amanda, your score is now in red,
0:24:26 > 0:24:29which I'm afraid means that you are unequivocally the high scorers.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33No-one can overtake your high score, even if they score 100 points.
0:24:33 > 0:24:37So we will be saying goodbye to you at the end of this round.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41- So, Daniel, the good news is, you're on 22.- Mm.
0:24:41 > 0:24:45Even if you score 100 points, you are through to the head-to-head.
0:24:45 > 0:24:50- Indeed.- So, with that kind of safety net below you,
0:24:50 > 0:24:53why not see if you can find a really obscure one.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57There might be a pointless answer on the board. You never know.
0:24:57 > 0:25:02I don't know whether I should try and be clever and play it safe.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04Did you listen to a word I just said?
0:25:04 > 0:25:07- THEY LAUGH - Try and be clever!
0:25:07 > 0:25:10If we do nothing else in this life.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12Oh, I don't know.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15I have a feeling what ME is
0:25:15 > 0:25:19but I think I'll probably go for OK, Oklahoma.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22OK, Oklahoma. There it is, bottom of the board.
0:25:22 > 0:25:26Let's see if it's right, and if it is, how many people said it.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30It's right.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35And, unsurprisingly, it scores you very high.
0:25:35 > 0:25:3873. Takes your total up to 95. Richard.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41Now I think Daniel's rubbish compared to John.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44- Yeah.- Yeah, Oklahoma, 73 points.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46Thank you very much, Richard.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49And so Rod, we come to you.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52You are on 45. Doesn't matter what you score.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55So why not have some fun with this board? It's all yours.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59I've no idea what MS might be, apart from the obvious.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03- You can tell us what you think the obvious is.- Mississippi or Missouri.
0:26:03 > 0:26:07- Right.- ME, I have no idea. FL looks like Florida.
0:26:07 > 0:26:12But I was going to choose RI cos I think it's a state, I think it's Rhode Island,
0:26:12 > 0:26:14- but I'm not quite sure. - Rhode Island.
0:26:14 > 0:26:20OK, let's see if Rhode Island is indeed RI, and if it is, how many people said it.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Very well done, Rod.
0:26:30 > 0:26:3324 that scores you. A very good score indeed.
0:26:33 > 0:26:38Takes your total up to 69. Richard.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41Well done, Rod. The smallest state in America.
0:26:41 > 0:26:45It would fit more that 500 times into the largest state, which is Alaska.
0:26:45 > 0:26:50And Daniel, do you want to have a go at what ME is? It's the best answer on the board.
0:26:50 > 0:26:56- I think it was Maine. - You would've been right. It would've scored you ten points.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59Let's fill in the other two. Florida, obviously, is FL.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01That would've scored you a very hefty 90.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04And MS, what do you think it is?
0:27:04 > 0:27:08- Mississippi.- It is Mississippi, yeah. Well done.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11Thanks very much, Richard. At the end of round two,
0:27:11 > 0:27:15the losing pair with the highest score, I'm afraid it's Mark and Amanda.
0:27:15 > 0:27:19Oh, bad luck. But two symmetrical scores.
0:27:19 > 0:27:24What a fabulous couple you are. You match each other like for like.
0:27:24 > 0:27:28Wonderful. The good news is, we get to see you again next time.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32What are you going to take away from your experience on Pointless?
0:27:32 > 0:27:38Probably a book on US states and their abbreviations.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41That's what you call shutting the door after the horse has bolted.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44Very good. Well, we shall see you next time.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47- We look forward to that. - Thank you.- Thanks for playing.
0:27:47 > 0:27:48APPLAUSE
0:27:48 > 0:27:52But for the remaining pairs, things get more exciting in the head-to-head.
0:27:58 > 0:28:03Very well done, Daniel and John, Lucy and Rod, you've made it through to the head-to-head.
0:28:03 > 0:28:07Only one pair can make it through to today's final and play for today's jackpot,
0:28:07 > 0:28:11which currently stands at £3,750.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14APPLAUSE
0:28:14 > 0:28:18You'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 > 0:28:29Just come up with an answer that scores less than the other pair and you win that question.
0:28:29 > 0:28:34The pair who get the best of three will be playing for today's jackpot. Let's play Pointless.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42Here's your first question. We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name
0:28:42 > 0:28:47as many long-running West End shows as they could.
0:28:47 > 0:28:52- Long-running West End shows. Richard.- We're looking for any of the eight shows
0:28:52 > 0:28:56that have been running in London's West End for at least ten consecutive year
0:28:56 > 0:28:58and were still running at the start of 2011.
0:28:58 > 0:29:03They can have changed venues in that time but they have to have had a continuous run of at least ten years.
0:29:03 > 0:29:07There's eight shows that have been going for ten years or more
0:29:07 > 0:29:09and were still going at the start of 2011.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12OK. Thanks very much, Richard. Daniel and John,
0:29:12 > 0:29:17because you've played best throughout the show so far, you get to go first.
0:29:23 > 0:29:24OK. OK.
0:29:24 > 0:29:27We're going to go with The Mousetrap.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29You're going to go with The Mousetrap.
0:29:29 > 0:29:32Lucy and Rod, The Mousetrap is off.
0:29:34 > 0:29:38It's kind of a toss up between Les Mis
0:29:38 > 0:29:42or Rod reckons The Lion King might still be going.
0:29:42 > 0:29:47- Er...- I know it's been there an awful long time. - It has been going forever.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50Road works come and go but The Lion King always seems to still be there.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53- That's what it says on the poster. - THEY LAUGH
0:29:53 > 0:29:56- Yes, we're going to go with The Lion King.- Very good.
0:29:56 > 0:30:01The Lion King it is. So we have The Mousetrap and The Lion King.
0:30:01 > 0:30:04Daniel and John said The Mousetrap. Let's see if it's right.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07I think it might be. And let's see how many people said it.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11Very well done.
0:30:12 > 0:30:1464.
0:30:14 > 0:30:17APPLAUSE
0:30:18 > 0:30:21That's quite a high scoring one, isn't it?
0:30:21 > 0:30:25- Lucy and Rod, you have gone with The Lion King.- Mm.- Sorry.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28Let's see if that's correct and how many people said it.
0:30:29 > 0:30:32It's right.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34And it beats The Mousetrap.
0:30:34 > 0:30:38- Well done, you! - It really beats The Mousetrap.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40APPLAUSE
0:30:40 > 0:30:44Only ten for The Lion King. Very well done, Rod and Lucy.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47After the first question, it is one-nil to you.
0:30:47 > 0:30:51- Richard.- Well played, Rod, but Les Miserables also would've won the points.
0:30:51 > 0:30:56There's eight shows on this list. Six of them are musicals. It's quite an interesting list.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59Right at the bottom is one of the plays, The Woman In Black,
0:30:59 > 0:31:01which has been on since 1989.
0:31:01 > 0:31:05There's Mamma Mia! with nine and Lion King with ten, they both opened in 1999.
0:31:05 > 0:31:08Chicago also would've scored you ten.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11That's been on since 1997.
0:31:11 > 0:31:15Blood Brothers scores you 13. That's been on since 1988.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17Phantom Of The Opera with 34, that's been on since 1986.
0:31:17 > 0:31:23Les Miserables there with 45. Just celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2010.
0:31:23 > 0:31:28And The Mousetrap up there on 64. It's been going since 1952, The Mousetrap,
0:31:28 > 0:31:30which is a world record.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32They've had some intervals, haven't they?
0:31:32 > 0:31:35Yes, they have, to be fair.
0:31:35 > 0:31:39- The audience has been able to go out and go back in. - Oh, yeah. You can get an ice cream.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42- Yeah. - LAUGHTER
0:31:42 > 0:31:46Thanks very much, Richard. So here is your second question.
0:31:46 > 0:31:52Lucy and Rod, if you win this question, you are straight through to the final.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55Daniel and John, you know what you have to do.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:31:58 > 0:32:03to name as many books of the Pentateuch as they could.
0:32:03 > 0:32:08- Richard.- Yeah, away you go. LAUGHTER
0:32:08 > 0:32:14The Pentateuch is the common name for the first five books of the Old Testament.
0:32:14 > 0:32:18We're looking for any of the first five books of the Old Testament in the King James' Bible.
0:32:18 > 0:32:22So any of the first five books of the Old Testament
0:32:22 > 0:32:26How relieved are you to hear that explanation?
0:32:26 > 0:32:30- SHE LAUGHS - OK, this time, Lucy and Rod get to go first.
0:32:30 > 0:32:34Any of those first five books.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39- Yeah.- Do you want to say it?- OK.
0:32:39 > 0:32:43Erm, I'm glad it was explained first.
0:32:43 > 0:32:45I think we're going to go for Exodus.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48You're going to go for Exodus.
0:32:48 > 0:32:54OK. Daniel and John, you have to win this one to stay in the game.
0:32:54 > 0:32:59I'm going to take a guess and say, I think this is probably wrong,
0:32:59 > 0:33:03but I'm sure Genesis is higher than Exodus, so I'm going to say Solomon.
0:33:03 > 0:33:10You're going to say Solomon. OK, so we have exodus and Solomon.
0:33:10 > 0:33:15Exodus, Lucy and Rod, let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said Exodus.
0:33:17 > 0:33:18It's right.
0:33:21 > 0:33:25- 51 that scores you. - APPLAUSE
0:33:27 > 0:33:3151. Daniel and John are going for Solomon.
0:33:31 > 0:33:35This has to be right and it has to score lower than 51,
0:33:35 > 0:33:38otherwise we say goodbye to you right here, right now.
0:33:38 > 0:33:42Solomon. Is it right and how many people said it?
0:33:47 > 0:33:49Bad luck. Bad luck.
0:33:49 > 0:33:53An incorrect answer. So after the second question,
0:33:53 > 0:33:56- Lucy and Rod are through to the final two-nil. Richard.- Unlucky, guys.
0:33:56 > 0:34:02As you imagined, Genesis also wouldn't have won you the points. Let's take a look at all five.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05There's Numbers, which is the fourth book.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08Leviticus, which is the third. They both would've scored you 32.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11Deuteronomy is the fifth book of the Old Testament, 39.
0:34:11 > 0:34:15Exodus on 51 and Genesis right up the top on 79.
0:34:15 > 0:34:19Very good. Thanks. So the losing pair at the end of the head-to-head,
0:34:19 > 0:34:23I'm afraid it's Daniel and John. Oh, dear!
0:34:23 > 0:34:26Your baron songs and snatches didn't help you.
0:34:26 > 0:34:29- THEY LAUGH - Bad luck.
0:34:29 > 0:34:33You've been great contestants. Thanks for playing. We look forward to seeing you next time.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36APPLAUSE
0:34:37 > 0:34:44But for Lucy and Rod, it's now time for our Pointless final and the chance to win our jackpot of £3,750.
0:34:44 > 0:34:46APPLAUSE
0:34:51 > 0:34:55Congratulations, Lucy and Rod. You've seen off all the competition
0:34:55 > 0:34:57and won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:04 > 0:35:08You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:08 > 0:35:13At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at an impressive £3,750.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:35:16 > 0:35:21The rules are simple. To win that money, all you have to do is find a pointless answer
0:35:21 > 0:35:25that no-one could think of. We've had one pointless answer on the show today.
0:35:25 > 0:35:28You only need to find one more now to go home with that money.
0:35:28 > 0:35:33First you have to choose a category. You can choose from these three options.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42What do you think?
0:35:42 > 0:35:46- Fashion designers is out.- That's out?- That's out altogether.- OK.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49Er, education I'm not quite sure about.
0:35:49 > 0:35:55- I think we're going to go with celebrities.- You're going to go with celebrities.- Yes.
0:35:55 > 0:35:58- Shunning education. - THEY LAUGH
0:35:58 > 0:36:02OK, let's find out what the question is. We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:36:02 > 0:36:09to name as many Who Do You Think You Are? celebrities as they could.
0:36:09 > 0:36:13- Who Do You Think You Are? Richard. - We're looking for any person who's been the main subject
0:36:13 > 0:36:17of an episode of the BBC genealogy series Who Do You Think You Are?
0:36:17 > 0:36:21all the way up to series seven, which was broadcast in 2010.
0:36:21 > 0:36:27We're not looking for anyone who was on the American series shown over here, just the British series.
0:36:27 > 0:36:31The one person we won't allow you to say is Alexander, who was on it,
0:36:31 > 0:36:34- and you were descended from... - From apes.
0:36:34 > 0:36:41LAUGHTER And then briefly in between from William the Conqueror.
0:36:41 > 0:36:44- There you are. Yeah. - I think he would be very proud.
0:36:44 > 0:36:49I think he'd put his feet up after a day of conquering and say, "That boy's a chip off the old block."
0:36:49 > 0:36:52- Yep. - THEY LAUGH
0:36:52 > 0:36:54OK, thank you very much, Richard.
0:36:54 > 0:36:58You now have up to one minute to come up with three answers
0:36:58 > 0:37:04and all you need to win that £3,750 is for just one of those answers to the pointless.
0:37:04 > 0:37:06Your 60 seconds start now.
0:37:07 > 0:37:12Er, well, Jeremy Paxman's been on it, hasn't he?
0:37:12 > 0:37:15- John Hurt.- Kim Cattrall.
0:37:15 > 0:37:18The one I'm thinking of is the guy who played Ric in Holby City.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21- I was thinking that, yeah. - It's Hugh...
0:37:21 > 0:37:23Quashie? Quarshie?
0:37:23 > 0:37:25Something like that.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28Er... I can't really think.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31Julian Clarey, John Hurt.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33There've been quite a few.
0:37:34 > 0:37:37I can't remember any.
0:37:38 > 0:37:40My mind has gone blank.
0:37:40 > 0:37:44- Well, out of the ones we've thought of...- We'll take those three.
0:37:44 > 0:37:48- Your bloke from Casualty. - Holby City.- Holby City.
0:37:48 > 0:37:49Erm...
0:37:51 > 0:37:54I'd say John Hurt, as well. I'm not quite sure if he has been.
0:37:54 > 0:37:56I think Kim Cattrall.
0:37:56 > 0:38:01- Has she been on the English one or the American one?- She was in the English one cos she's English.
0:38:01 > 0:38:05- Five seconds left.- Oh, Boris Johnson was on it, as well.- Oh.
0:38:06 > 0:38:10There is your minute. You've come up with lots of answers there.
0:38:10 > 0:38:12Which three are you going to submit?
0:38:12 > 0:38:17There's one person I can think of but I can't quite remember his surname.
0:38:17 > 0:38:19His first name's Hugh.
0:38:19 > 0:38:23- I think Hugh... - I think it's Quarshie.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25Yep, Hugh Quarshie, we'll take that.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27Boris Johnson?
0:38:27 > 0:38:29- Yeah, shall we go for Boris Johnson? - Yeah.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32- Boris Johnson.- Boris Johnson.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35- And shall we say John Hurt? - Yeah.- And John Hurt.
0:38:35 > 0:38:40And John Hurt. We were looking for people who've featured on Who Do You Think You Are?
0:38:40 > 0:38:46Which of those is your most confident answer, your best shot at a pointless?
0:38:47 > 0:38:53- The first one, I think.- Yeah. - Hugh Quarshie? OK. Hugh Quarshie.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56We'll put his name up last.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59Which of the remaining two do you think is your least confident?
0:38:59 > 0:39:03- Boris Johnson.- Yeah. - We'll bung Boris up first.
0:39:03 > 0:39:09And second we therefore put John Hurt. OK.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12We'll put them up on the board in that order. Here they are.
0:39:12 > 0:39:18Boris Johnson, John Hurt and Hugh Quarshie. There they are.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21We're looking for people featured on Who Do You Think You Are?
0:39:21 > 0:39:28This was your least confident answer. You only need one of these to be pointless and you win £3,750.
0:39:28 > 0:39:35Let's see if Boris Johnson is right, and if it is, how many people said it. Boris Johnson.
0:39:37 > 0:39:39It's right.
0:39:42 > 0:39:46Down it comes. This for £3,750.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49Very, very good score. Look at that! Still going down. Oh!
0:39:49 > 0:39:53APPLAUSE
0:39:57 > 0:40:03Well, unfortunately, that's not a pointless answer, but it tells you something about your 100 people.
0:40:03 > 0:40:08That was your least confident answer and it scored two.
0:40:08 > 0:40:11Let's just have a think about that £3,750.
0:40:11 > 0:40:14What would you spend that on?
0:40:14 > 0:40:19Erm, I think we've talked about going to Ireland, which isn't the most exotic of places.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22- Oh, it's lovely there. - But neither of us have ever been. - You've got to go.
0:40:22 > 0:40:27- And then a bit of spending money. - Very good luck with your next answer, then.
0:40:27 > 0:40:33You only have two more chances to win today's jackpot. This has to be pointless for you to win it.
0:40:33 > 0:40:38Let's see if John Hurt is right, and if it is, how many people said John Hurt.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42Well, it's right.
0:40:42 > 0:40:45We saw that Boris Johnson went all the way down to two.
0:40:45 > 0:40:48He was one of the more colourful subjects of that show.
0:40:48 > 0:40:53How far down is John Hurt going to go? Is it going to win you that jackpot of £3,750?
0:40:53 > 0:40:57- No! So close! - APPLAUSE
0:40:57 > 0:40:59Oh!
0:41:01 > 0:41:03HE LAUGHS
0:41:03 > 0:41:08Oh, that was... This is all going in the right direction, I have to say.
0:41:08 > 0:41:13Fingers crossed. Hugh Quarshie, he's your last chance and your best chance
0:41:13 > 0:41:16- by your reckoning.- Mm.
0:41:16 > 0:41:20If this answer is pointless, if this goes all the way down to zero,
0:41:20 > 0:41:23then County Meath here we come.
0:41:23 > 0:41:28You don't have to go there, obviously. It just popped into my stupid head.
0:41:28 > 0:41:30OK.
0:41:30 > 0:41:36Hugh Quarshie. Is it right, and if it is, how many people said it? Hugh Quarshie.
0:41:38 > 0:41:40It's right.
0:41:40 > 0:41:43As I said, Boris Johnson went down to two,
0:41:43 > 0:41:46John Hurt went down to one.
0:41:46 > 0:41:49Will Hugh Quarshie win you that jackpot by going down to zero?
0:41:49 > 0:41:51Down it goes. Oh, no!
0:41:51 > 0:41:55APPLAUSE
0:41:57 > 0:42:00- Oh!- It was close.- That's not fair.
0:42:00 > 0:42:03Oh, bad luck!
0:42:03 > 0:42:09Unfortunately, you didn't manage to find that crucial pointless answer.
0:42:09 > 0:42:14I'm so sorry. So I'm afraid you won't be leaving with that £3,750
0:42:14 > 0:42:20That rolls over to the next show. But you have been amazing and you do get our Pointless trophy.
0:42:20 > 0:42:22APPLAUSE
0:42:22 > 0:42:25Oh, dear.
0:42:27 > 0:42:29So, Richard, what were the pointless answers?
0:42:29 > 0:42:33That might be the closest anyone's ever got to the jackpot without winning it,
0:42:33 > 0:42:36which I know is no consolation.
0:42:36 > 0:42:42- But it's something, at least. - Yeah.- But there are a whole load of pointless answers. Let's take a look.
0:42:43 > 0:42:46Bill Oddie was pointless. Alan Cumming. Griff Rhys Jones.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49All of these would've won you the money. Ian Hislop.
0:42:49 > 0:42:53Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen. Matthew Pinsent.
0:42:53 > 0:42:56David Baddiel was on the first series. Kevin Whately.
0:42:56 > 0:43:01Natasha Kaplinsky. All of those people would've won you the money. That's really tough luck.
0:43:01 > 0:43:05Well, unfortunately, we do have to say goodbye to you both.
0:43:05 > 0:43:09- I'm so sorry, but you have been wonderful contestants. - We've had good fun.- Yeah.
0:43:09 > 0:43:12Thank you so much for playing.
0:43:12 > 0:43:15APPLAUSE
0:43:17 > 0:43:21So nobody's won our jackpot today, which means it rolls over onto the next show
0:43:21 > 0:43:26and we will then be playing for £4,750.
0:43:26 > 0:43:31- CHEERING AND APPLAUSE - Join us next time to see if someone can win it.
0:43:31 > 0:43:35- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye. - And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
