0:00:18 > 0:00:21APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:00:24 > 0:00:25Thank you very much!
0:00:25 > 0:00:28Hello. I'm Alexander Armstrong. Welcome to Pointless,
0:00:28 > 0:00:33the show where popular answers mean nothing and obscure answers mean everything.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Let's meet today's players.
0:00:40 > 0:00:44Welcome back Trevor and Isabel. You're on our first desk.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47You were on the show last time. How did you do?
0:00:47 > 0:00:49We got eliminated in the second round
0:00:49 > 0:00:51because our knowledge of TV programmes
0:00:51 > 0:00:55- was not as pointless as other people's!- They weren't wrong, though.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58- No, but they just... - Scored quite high.- Yes.
0:00:58 > 0:01:03We discovered that you're a singing duo. What do you do when you're not singing?
0:01:03 > 0:01:07I have a part-time job in a doctor's surgery, doing bookkeeping.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10- Right you are. - And I'm a house person.
0:01:10 > 0:01:15- Housewife, house person. - House person. That's good. What hobbies do you have?
0:01:15 > 0:01:21- I like to run. I've done seven London marathons and one New York marathon.- Well done!
0:01:21 > 0:01:23- That's amazing! - APPLAUSE
0:01:23 > 0:01:28That's incredible. Very, very well done. Best of luck on the show today.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32Next we welcome Michael and Wayne. How do you know each other?
0:01:32 > 0:01:36We're civil partners and we met on New Year's Day 12 years ago
0:01:36 > 0:01:37while I was a student.
0:01:37 > 0:01:42- You were a student. Where are you from?- I'm from Oxford.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46- What are your interests, Wayne? - I like amateur dramatics and operatics.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48Whose idea was it to come on Pointless?
0:01:48 > 0:01:53- It was my idea. I was in the audience about 18 months ago.- Here?
0:01:53 > 0:01:58- 18 months ago. That's way back at the beginning.- Yes, it was the first series.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02Best of luck. Hope it's as enjoyable from this side of the podium
0:02:02 > 0:02:05as I'm assuming it was from that!
0:02:05 > 0:02:09Maybe you watched and thought, "They need me and Michael on this show!"
0:02:09 > 0:02:14- I think it was.- I don't doubt that for a second. Lovely to have you here.- Thank you.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Next, we welcome Sarah and Emma.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21I'm not going to ask how you know each other! I think I can see!
0:02:21 > 0:02:26- Not dissimilar.- No.- Not dissimilar twins.- Identical twins.- Indeed.
0:02:27 > 0:02:32- What do you do for a living, Sarah? - I'm a teacher.- Emma?- I'm a teacher!
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Brilliant.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36- Do you teach the same subject? - Yes!- Yes!
0:02:38 > 0:02:42In unison, like that? This is an exercise in identical twin-ness!
0:02:42 > 0:02:45- Brilliant. Very best of luck. - Thank you.- To both of you.
0:02:45 > 0:02:46Finally,
0:02:46 > 0:02:50we welcome Laura and Adam. How do you know each other?
0:02:50 > 0:02:54We met at university on a teacher training course.
0:02:54 > 0:02:59We had a team building activity where we had to hold hands and stare into each other's eyes!
0:02:59 > 0:03:01- We met there.- On the first day.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04- It was a bit weird. - On the first day!
0:03:04 > 0:03:06- You remain only friends, despite that.- Yes!
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Despite the connection, we are just friends.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12- OK. And where are you from? - I'm from Sheffield.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15I'm studying at Hallam University.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18I'm also there, but I'm from Rugby originally.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21We'll find out more about all of you during the show.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24Best of luck to you all. One person left to introduce.
0:03:24 > 0:03:29He mans the watchtower of obscurity, patiently watching for rogue, pointless facts.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33- He's my pointless friend, Richard. - Oh, dear! Hiya!
0:03:36 > 0:03:39- Hello, there.- Hello, there. - How are you today?
0:03:39 > 0:03:43- I'm extremely well. How about you? - Very well, thank you.
0:03:43 > 0:03:48Only one returning pair today. Trevor and Isabel, Solid Gold. You did very, very well last time.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52I think we didn't see the best of them so they might do better today.
0:03:52 > 0:03:57Also loads of teachers! Teachers were terrible at Pointless for a long time,
0:03:57 > 0:04:00- but they've come back. - Had a renaissance.- Yeah.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03- And so well-behaved, as well! - Of course!
0:04:03 > 0:04:06- Their grammar is always immaculate. - Put everything away.
0:04:06 > 0:04:11They're the only people to put their chairs on the tables at the end of the show!
0:04:13 > 0:04:17Thank you, Richard. We put all our questions to 100 people before the show
0:04:17 > 0:04:21but this is Pointless, so we're after the obscure answers they didn't get.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25You want to find a pointless answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29Each time that happens, we'll add £250 to today's jackpot.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Gavin and Jason won the jackpot last time,
0:04:31 > 0:04:35so today's jackpot starts off at £1,000.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Let's play Pointless!
0:04:47 > 0:04:49In the first round, each of you
0:04:49 > 0:04:52must give me one answer and you cannot confer.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55The team with the highest score at the end of the round
0:04:55 > 0:04:56will be eliminated.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00Right. Our first category this afternoon is...
0:05:02 > 0:05:06Can you all decide who's going first and who's going second.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Whoever's first, please step up to the podium.
0:05:11 > 0:05:16Let's find out what the question is. We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name
0:05:16 > 0:05:19as many volcanoes as they could.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22Volcanoes. It gets better and better, doesn't it, Isabel?
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Volcanoes. Richard, can you elaborate?
0:05:25 > 0:05:30The correct answers will all be volcanoes, either extinct or dormant found on the surface of the Earth.
0:05:30 > 0:05:34Thank you. Trevor and Isabel, you drew lots before the show.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Today, you get to go first.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41In this round, we'll give you a choice of seven possible answers in each pass.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45The first set of seven answers looks like this.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57I'll make those noises again!
0:06:09 > 0:06:14At least one of those answers is pointless. And at least one is incorrect.
0:06:14 > 0:06:19An incorrect answer scores the maximum of 100 points. Trevor?
0:06:19 > 0:06:22So in either sides of your double life, Trevor,
0:06:22 > 0:06:25either as the bookkeeper of a general practice
0:06:25 > 0:06:30or as half of heart-melting musical duo Solid Gold,
0:06:30 > 0:06:33- do you come across volcanoes? - Not often.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35But I have heard of Krakatoa.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38I'll give Krakatoa as my answer.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41OK. That's very good reasoning.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45You want the most obscure you can find on that board and you say Krakatoa.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49Let's see if it's right and if it is, how many people said Krakatoa?
0:06:52 > 0:06:53It's right.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57Down it comes.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Oh, it's a good answer, Trevor! 22. Very well done.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08- 22 points.- Well done, Trevor. Good start.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11Krakatoa is between Java and Sumatra.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14It erupted in 1883 and killed 30,000 people.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17Now, then, Wayne, we are looking for volcanoes.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19The more obscure, the better.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23- What are you thinking of that list? - OK. There were two I knew.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27One has gone, and the other is very obvious.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30So I'm going to have to take a wild stab in the dark.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34Soufriere sounds like fire. A little bit!
0:07:34 > 0:07:37So I'm going to say that.
0:07:37 > 0:07:38Soufriere.
0:07:38 > 0:07:44It sounds sulphurous to me, which I think is a good thing,
0:07:44 > 0:07:47if you're a volcano! Anyway,
0:07:47 > 0:07:49let's see if it's right
0:07:49 > 0:07:52and if it is, let's see how many people said Soufriere.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55It is right!
0:07:55 > 0:07:57It is right, Wayne.
0:07:59 > 0:08:00Down it goes!
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Yes! Fantastic, Wayne!
0:08:05 > 0:08:07Soufriere.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09That was a great hunch.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12It was a pointless answer, adding £250 to today's jackpot,
0:08:12 > 0:08:15taking the total up to £1,250.
0:08:16 > 0:08:21Best of all, it scores you nothing, Wayne. Well done. Richard?
0:08:21 > 0:08:26Great start to the show. Well done. Yes, soufriere is French for sulphur mine.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Soufriere is on the island of St Vincent.
0:08:29 > 0:08:34Sarah. Two answers have gone. One of those was pointless.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38There's nothing to suggest there isn't another pointless on that board.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41There's at least one incorrect answer.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Possibly one of the worst subjects that could come up for me.
0:08:44 > 0:08:49I knew two of those. One has gone, the other is pretty obvious.
0:08:49 > 0:08:54I'll have to take a wild guess. This could go horribly wrong.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58But my thinking is that Ferocia might mean ferocious.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01And volcanoes are quite ferocious.
0:09:01 > 0:09:06- It would be a good name for a mountain that blows molten rock into the air.- It would.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09- So I'll guess that.- Ferocia.- Yeah. - Seems right.
0:09:09 > 0:09:15Let's see if Ferocia is a correct answer and if so, how many people said it?
0:09:15 > 0:09:16Ferocia.
0:09:21 > 0:09:27- For all the right reasons.- Yeah. - You went for it, but it's an incorrect answer.
0:09:27 > 0:09:32So it scores you the maximum of 100 points. Very bad luck, Sarah.
0:09:32 > 0:09:37Unlucky, Sarah. You've got to take a risk sometimes. Ferocia is Latin for hot, fiery temper.
0:09:37 > 0:09:43- The good news is you can swap name tags and blame Emma!- I'll do that!
0:09:43 > 0:09:48Now, then, Adam. Remember, we're looking for volcanoes.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52I think I'm going to go with, and it is a stab in the dark,
0:09:52 > 0:09:54but I'm going with Stromboli.
0:09:54 > 0:10:01- Stromboli.- It sounds dangerous like drums and thunder.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Some reason. I don't know why.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07Or something you could eat on a fork.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12This stromboli is ferocio!
0:10:15 > 0:10:18Let's see. Let's have a look. Stromboli.
0:10:18 > 0:10:23Is it a correct answer, and if it is, how many people said it?
0:10:23 > 0:10:24Stromboli.
0:10:26 > 0:10:27It's right!
0:10:27 > 0:10:29It's right, Adam.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Going a long way down. Nine! Well done!
0:10:37 > 0:10:41Stromboli scores you nine. Richard?
0:10:41 > 0:10:44Well played, Adam. It's just off the coast of Sicily.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48- Stromboli. But absolutely delicious, as you say.- Isn't it?
0:10:48 > 0:10:51Lovely with a bit of celery or something like that.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Let's look at the rest of the answers.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Etna is the one everyone was avoiding.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59It would have scored 77 points.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03Of the other two, Alexander, one is pointless and one is incorrect.
0:11:03 > 0:11:08I think Gallunggung is pointless.
0:11:08 > 0:11:14Absolutely right. Do you remember when the Icelandic volcano went off?
0:11:14 > 0:11:18They mentioned the volcano that went off in the '80s, nearly downing the airlines.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21- Yes.- Just off Java. That was Gallunggung.
0:11:21 > 0:11:26- Hertzsprung is a large crater on the moon. So that was incorrect.- OK.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Halfway through the round, let's see the scores.
0:11:28 > 0:11:34A very wide-ranging field. Wayne and Michael, couldn't have done better.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38Not far ahead of you, Adam and Laura. Wonderful low score,
0:11:38 > 0:11:40courtesy of Stromboli.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44Not far ahead of that, Trevor and Isabel. Great answer. 22. Krakatoa.
0:11:44 > 0:11:49And then, I'm afraid, Sarah and Emma, you are way out in front.
0:11:49 > 0:11:55In the next pass, hope somebody else picks an incorrect answer, which could easily happen.
0:11:55 > 0:12:00Make sure it's not you! Back down the line. Can the second players take their places at the podium?
0:12:04 > 0:12:06OK. Seven more answers on the board.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08We're looking for volcanoes.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11Here is your second list.
0:12:31 > 0:12:38At least one of those answers is incorrect and at least one is pointless.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42Pick an incorrect one and you score a maximum of 100 points. Laura?
0:12:42 > 0:12:46I can't say volcanoes is my strongest subject, to be honest.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50But we only got nine points and I've a feeling Vesuvius is a volcano
0:12:50 > 0:12:52so I'll choose that.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54As you say, you're on nine. If you score 90 or less
0:12:54 > 0:12:59with this answer, you're through to the next round.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02The high scorers being Emma and Sarah on 100. Vesuvius.
0:13:02 > 0:13:06Is it right, and how many people said it? There's your red line.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10Below that red line, you're through to the next round.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15You're through to the next round. Well done, Laura.
0:13:15 > 0:13:1763.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Brings your total up to 72.
0:13:20 > 0:13:28- Richard?- It scored less than Etna. It had lain dormant for centuries before it destroyed Pompeii.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31It last erupted in 1944.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35Emma. You are the high scorers on 100 points.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39Yeah, I feel like Sarah's put me under a bit of pressure here now.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43I definitely know one of the others is a volcano.
0:13:43 > 0:13:49But I've been put under pressure to try and find a pointless answer.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52So I am going to go for...
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Cotopaxi.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58Cotopaxi. Where would you imagine Cotopaxi to be?
0:14:00 > 0:14:03Indonesia? Like that other one, I don't know.
0:14:03 > 0:14:10There's no red line. You have to score as low as you can and hope that Cotopaxi is a pointless answer.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Is it right, and if it is, how many people said it?
0:14:15 > 0:14:16Well done, Emma.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20How far down is this going to go?
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Very, very well done!
0:14:24 > 0:14:27Very well done, Emma!
0:14:27 > 0:14:30Cotopaxi is a pointless answer and adds £250
0:14:30 > 0:14:31to today's jackpot.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38It scores you nothing, leaving your score at 100. Richard?
0:14:38 > 0:14:42Well played, Emma. It's in Ecuador. It's in the Andes, Cotopaxi.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46One of the highest volcanoes in the world. Cockney rhyming slang for taxi!
0:14:48 > 0:14:50Get me a coto, would you?
0:14:52 > 0:14:55Very well done, Emma. Now, Michael.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57We are looking for volcanoes.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00I'm going to go for the middle of the road one where
0:15:00 > 0:15:03hopefully, it is a volcano.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07I'm going to say Mount St Helens.
0:15:07 > 0:15:08Mount St Helens.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10Where do you think it might be?
0:15:10 > 0:15:12It sounds sort of Greek.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16- Greek. That sort of area. Mediterranean.- There you are.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19That red line is your goal.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23Get below that red line, you're through to the next round.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27Let's see if it's right, and if it is, how many people said it? Mount St Helens.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31It's right.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37Down it goes. 18, that scores you.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44Very well done. Takes you up to a fantastically low 18. Richard?
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Well played, safe and sound.
0:15:46 > 0:15:52It's near Greece. If you went to Athens, got on a plane and flew to America,
0:15:52 > 0:15:56that's where you'd find it. It's in Washington State.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59- It erupted famously in 1980.- Right.
0:15:59 > 0:16:04Now, Isabel, this is where the match is going to be won or lost.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06There is enormous pressure on you.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08I sense impending doom!
0:16:08 > 0:16:10No, no, I don't. I don't.
0:16:10 > 0:16:15There might easily be another pointless on the board. We had two in the previous pass.
0:16:15 > 0:16:19Talk us through. There's no shame in not knowing any of these.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22But in case there's any reasoning you might have.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25I know that Kilimanjaro is a mountain.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28I'm not sure whether it's a volcano or not.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30But that's what I'm going for.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Kilimanjaro. There's your red line.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35If you get below that, score 77 or less,
0:16:35 > 0:16:38you're through to the next round.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said Kilimanjaro.
0:16:45 > 0:16:46Well done. It's right.
0:16:46 > 0:16:50You're through to the next round. Well done, Isabel.
0:16:52 > 0:16:53Seven!
0:16:53 > 0:16:56That's a superb answer.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59Well done. Scores 17. That takes your total up to 29.
0:17:00 > 0:17:05- Richard?- Well played, Isabel. There are three volcanoes in Kilimanjaro.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08The central bit is the highest point on the African continent.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10Mount Rainier is also a volcano
0:17:10 > 0:17:13in Washington State, 60 miles from Seattle.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15That would have scored one point.
0:17:15 > 0:17:20- What do you think of the others, Alexander? - Habanero is more of a pepper.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22It is a chilli. You're quite right.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24That would have scored 100 points.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27Jostedalsbreen I think is a pointless answer.
0:17:27 > 0:17:34You're absolutely wrong. It's one of the largest glaciers in the world.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36- In Norway.- I see.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38That ain't erupting any time soon!
0:17:38 > 0:17:43No. Thanks very much, Richard. So, at the end of Round One,
0:17:43 > 0:17:48the losing pair with the highest score - I'm so sorry - is Sarah and Emma.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52- We tried!- You tried incredibly well. - I blame her!
0:17:52 > 0:17:56And you got a pointless answer! And you, you were reaching for a pointless answer.
0:17:56 > 0:18:02Ferocia could easily... Well, no, it's clearly a pizza.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06It could have been the name of a volcano. You did the right thing.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09It's been great having you on the show. Thank you for playing.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17For the remaining three pairs, it's time for Round Two.
0:18:23 > 0:18:28Obviously, only two pairs can make it through to the head-to-head.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31One team will be leaving us at the end of this round.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34The category for Round Two this afternoon is...
0:18:36 > 0:18:39Decide in your pairs who's going first and who second.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42Whoever's first, step up to the podium.
0:18:45 > 0:18:46Right.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49Our Round Two question this afternoon concerns...
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Home grounds and their teams.
0:18:55 > 0:19:01We're about to show you a list of home grounds of premiership football clubs.
0:19:01 > 0:19:06We asked 100 people to tell us which teams play at each of those grounds.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10- Richard?- We're going to show you six grounds in each pass.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14Tell us which team plays there in the 2010/2011 season.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17The more obscure ones score fewer points.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20If you give us an incorrect answer, you score 100 points.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23See how many you can get at home.
0:19:23 > 0:19:28Very good. We're looking for the teams that play at these grounds. We have got...
0:19:48 > 0:19:50OK, Trevor?
0:19:50 > 0:19:52I know at least five of them!
0:19:52 > 0:19:56There's one I'm not going for cos I'm not quite sure.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00I'll go for Craven Cottage. That's the ground for Fulham.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02The ground for Fulham.
0:20:03 > 0:20:08Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said Fulham for Craven Cottage.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11Well done, Trevor. It's right.
0:20:14 > 0:20:1632.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24- 32 for Craven Cottage. Richard. - Well played, Trevor.
0:20:24 > 0:20:29I'm a season ticket holder at Fulham, so I go to Craven Cottage. A lovely ground.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33Michael, you are quite a football fan, something tells me.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35I'm an avid Oxford United fan.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39Again a season ticket holder for the grass roots football.
0:20:39 > 0:20:45Very good. That doesn't stop you from knowing about premier league football.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48Absolutely. I'm quite happy with all these answers.
0:20:48 > 0:20:53So I'm going to go for Bloomfield Road, and that is Blackpool.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56Bloomfield Road, Blackpool.
0:20:56 > 0:21:00Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people knew that?
0:21:01 > 0:21:03It's right.
0:21:07 > 0:21:08Very well done. 18, Michael.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14That's a great score. 18 for Bloomfield Road.
0:21:15 > 0:21:19Well played. It's the smallest ground in the current premiership.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22Oxford United, has it still only got three sides?
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Still only three sides.
0:21:24 > 0:21:29I met the chairman there. He said, "I'll put another side on here when more of you start turning up.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31"Until then I'm going to leave it."
0:21:31 > 0:21:35It's cos we were playing Fulham. They said they'd leave it as it is!
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Thanks, Richard. Adam.
0:21:40 > 0:21:44We are looking for the teams that play at these grounds.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48Emirates Stadium, Stamford Bridge, Old Trafford, they're the three.
0:21:48 > 0:21:53- You're allowed to say what they belong to.- They're the three that people know.
0:21:53 > 0:21:58I'd love to have said Blackpool, but I'll have to say Newcastle United at St James' Park.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01St James' Park, Newcastle United.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03How many people knew that answer?
0:22:05 > 0:22:07It's right.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Down it comes. 29.
0:22:15 > 0:22:16Not a bad answer at all, Adam.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18St James' Park. Richard?
0:22:18 > 0:22:21Well played, everybody. You picked the best three answers.
0:22:21 > 0:22:26St James' Park is the home of Newcastle, and Exeter, but they're not in the premiership.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Old Trafford is Manchester United.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31That would have scored 74 points.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33Stamford Bridge is Chelsea.
0:22:33 > 0:22:3550 points.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37And The Emirates is Arsenal
0:22:37 > 0:22:39at 51 points.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43So a fantastic 51-50 win for Arsenal over Chelsea there!
0:22:43 > 0:22:48Thanks, Richard. We're half way through the round. Let's take a look at the scores.
0:22:48 > 0:22:5218 for Michael and Wayne. A very well judged answer.
0:22:52 > 0:22:56Adam and Laura on 29.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59And Trevor and Isabel not far ahead. It's a close grouping.
0:22:59 > 0:23:04OK. Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:23:07 > 0:23:10OK. Six more home grounds on the board.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12We have got...
0:23:29 > 0:23:32We are looking for the teams that play at those grounds.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36You want the one that the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:23:36 > 0:23:42- Laura.- There's only two on there that I recognise.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46And there's only one that I could say which team played.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49So I'll have to go with Anfield and Liverpool.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52You want to score as low as you can with that.
0:23:52 > 0:23:53There is your red line there.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57If you get below that, I will be very impressed by your choice!
0:23:57 > 0:24:00And you will be through to the head-to-head.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03How many people said Anfield, Liverpool.
0:24:05 > 0:24:06Well done.
0:24:08 > 0:24:1060.
0:24:10 > 0:24:16Very popular answer, that, Laura, but it is unmistakeably correct.
0:24:16 > 0:24:20That's good. It's better than 100. Takes you up to 89. Richard?
0:24:20 > 0:24:24Anfield has been there ever since the beginning of the football league in 1888.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26Right. Wayne.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29If you can score 70 points or less with this,
0:24:29 > 0:24:32you are definitely in the head-to-head.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34What do you think of that board?
0:24:34 > 0:24:35OK. There were two I knew.
0:24:35 > 0:24:42That one has gone. So I'll say the only one I know. The Stadium of Light is Sunderland.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Stadium of Light, Sunderland.
0:24:44 > 0:24:49There's your red line. If the Stadium of Light gets you below that,
0:24:49 > 0:24:54you are through. Is it right and if so, how many people said Sunderland for Stadium of Light.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58There it is.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02Well done, you're in the head-to-head, Wayne. A brilliant answer.
0:25:02 > 0:25:0325.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Very good. Takes your total up to 43.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14Well played, Wayne. They moved there from Roker Park in 1997.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18Very good. A great answer there, Wayne.
0:25:18 > 0:25:23- Now, then, Isabel.- Is it time to call the taxi, do you think?
0:25:23 > 0:25:26What, get the coto? Nah. I'll get me coto!
0:25:29 > 0:25:34- I'm going to take a stab in the dark.- Before you do that,
0:25:34 > 0:25:37it's time for a little musical interlude.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40- It might lighten the mood! - We'll do a little song if you wish!
0:25:40 > 0:25:42I'd love that.
0:25:42 > 0:25:47We've never had a song before, apart from the song that we do at the end.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50- Which every single show they cut out!- Do they?
0:25:50 > 0:25:52Yeah. Have you never watched the show?
0:25:57 > 0:26:01- Come on. Let's have a quick song! And then we'll...- Dream?
0:26:02 > 0:26:04# Dream
0:26:04 > 0:26:07# Dream, dream, dream
0:26:07 > 0:26:09# Dream
0:26:09 > 0:26:12# Dream, dream, dream
0:26:12 > 0:26:15# When I want you
0:26:15 > 0:26:17# In my arms
0:26:17 > 0:26:20# And I want you
0:26:20 > 0:26:22# And all your charms
0:26:22 > 0:26:24# Whenever I want you
0:26:24 > 0:26:26# All I have to do
0:26:26 > 0:26:29# Is dream
0:26:29 > 0:26:32# Dream, dream, dream
0:26:32 > 0:26:35# Dream. #
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Thank you for that.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47So, Isabel.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49We return to the game of Pointless.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52- Football.- Oh, that's it. Right. Yes.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55Now, then. Our high scorers
0:26:55 > 0:26:59are Laura and Adam on 89.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02If you can score 56 points or less with this answer,
0:27:02 > 0:27:04you are in the head-to-head.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06Right.
0:27:07 > 0:27:12I'm going to have a guess that White Hart Lane is Tottenham Hotspur.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15White Hart Lane. Tottenham Hotspur.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17There is your red line.
0:27:19 > 0:27:25Let's see if White Hart Lane is correct for Spurs and if it is, will it get you through?
0:27:25 > 0:27:29Good luck. How many people said White Hart Lane, Tottenham Hotspur.
0:27:32 > 0:27:33It's right.
0:27:35 > 0:27:36Yes, it's done it!
0:27:36 > 0:27:3843!
0:27:38 > 0:27:40Very, very well done, Isabel.
0:27:40 > 0:27:44Very good. That takes your total up to 75.
0:27:45 > 0:27:46Richard?
0:27:46 > 0:27:50You should have seen the look on Trevor's face when you said it! The pride!
0:27:50 > 0:27:53He looked like you'd just finished a marathon!
0:27:53 > 0:27:58He was delighted. Brilliant answer. Well deserved through to the next round.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01Let's look at the rest. Goodison Park is Everton.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04That scored 33.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06The Hawthorns is West Bromwich Albion.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08That scored 19.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10The Boleyn Ground is a tricky one.
0:28:10 > 0:28:15Well done if you got it at home. It's the official name of Upton Park, which is West Ham's ground.
0:28:15 > 0:28:19That would have scored 11 points, the best answer on the board.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23Thanks very much, Richard. So, at the end of Round Two,
0:28:23 > 0:28:26the losing pair with the highest score, Laura and Adam.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29I'm sorry. You didn't get anything wrong.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32Football's not really my strong point. That was his thing.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35- What's your strong point, Laura? - Literature.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37Literature.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40You'll be back. Everyone gets two shots at the final.
0:28:40 > 0:28:44Next time maybe you'll go even further. I do hope so.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46Thanks very much for playing.
0:28:49 > 0:28:54For the remaining two pairs, things get more exciting in the head-to-head.
0:29:02 > 0:29:07Well done, Michael and Wayne, Trevor and Isabel. You've made it to the head-to-head.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10Obviously only one pair can make it to the final to play for our jackpot
0:29:10 > 0:29:14which currently stands at £1,500.
0:29:18 > 0:29:22You now go head-to-head on the best of three questions.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25For each question, each pair needs to give me one answer
0:29:25 > 0:29:27but you are now allowed to confer.
0:29:27 > 0:29:32You have to come up with an answer that scores less than the other pair to win that question.
0:29:32 > 0:29:37The pair that gets the best of three will play for today's jackpot.
0:29:37 > 0:29:38Let's play Pointless.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44Thank you. Here's your first question.
0:29:44 > 0:29:48We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name
0:29:48 > 0:29:52as many members of the Rolling Stones as they could.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54Members of the Rolling Stones. Richard?
0:29:54 > 0:30:00Anyone who's ever been a member of the Rolling Stones from when they started up to 2011.
0:30:00 > 0:30:05We'll go by the lists on their official website which says there's been eight members.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08Thank you very much, Richard.
0:30:08 > 0:30:12Michael and Wayne, as you've played best so far, you get to go first.
0:30:19 > 0:30:21A bit of a tricky one.
0:30:21 > 0:30:25We've come up with a bit of an obvious one, but Keith Moon.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28Keith Moon, you're going to say.
0:30:28 > 0:30:29OK.
0:30:29 > 0:30:36Keith Moon. What's it going to be, Trevor and Isabel? Talk us through your reasoning.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38I know Keith Moon was the drummer for The Who.
0:30:42 > 0:30:46- I'm not sure if I'm allowed to say that.- I think you are allowed to.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49- I think you are.- I was going to go for an obscure one.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52It was Mick Taylor. That's what I was going to say.
0:30:52 > 0:30:56But I'm not quite sure. I know it's Taylor, but not sure it's Mick.
0:30:56 > 0:31:02So because I'm absolutely certain that Keith Moon was not in the Rolling Stones,
0:31:02 > 0:31:05we're going to say Brian Jones.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07Brian Jones.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09OK. So we have Keith Moon. We have Brian Jones.
0:31:09 > 0:31:15Let's take Keith Moon first and see where he gets us. Keith Moon.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20Bad luck.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24Bad luck, Michael and Wayne.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26Keith Moon an incorrect answer.
0:31:26 > 0:31:30Trevor and Isabel are going for Brian Jones. All this has to be is correct
0:31:30 > 0:31:34for you to win this question. Brian Jones. Is it correct?
0:31:38 > 0:31:40There we are.
0:31:40 > 0:31:41Down it comes.
0:31:41 > 0:31:4319. Very good low score.
0:31:47 > 0:31:51It only had to be correct. Brian Jones. Very good answer.
0:31:51 > 0:31:55After the first question, it's one-nil to Trevor and Isabel.
0:31:55 > 0:31:59- Richard?- Unlucky, Michael and Wayne. I don't think you'd have beaten Trevor.
0:31:59 > 0:32:03If you'd gone for Mick Taylor, that was the best answer there was.
0:32:03 > 0:32:07Mick Taylor would have scored you four points. The guitarist from 1969 to '74.
0:32:07 > 0:32:12Ian Stewart, the pianist, was briefly in The Stones in the '60s.
0:32:12 > 0:32:17Brian Jones, who died in 1969 shortly after leaving the band. 19.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20Bill Wyman, the bassist, 22.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23Charlie Watts, drummer, 25.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25Keith Richards, 32.
0:32:25 > 0:32:30Ronnie Wood, 35. Mick Jagger, a mile ahead of the rest
0:32:30 > 0:32:34- on 88. - Michael and Wayne, you have to win this question to stay in the game.
0:32:34 > 0:32:38Trevor and Isabel, if you win this, you're straight into the final,
0:32:38 > 0:32:41playing for that jackpot of £1,500. Question two.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name
0:32:44 > 0:32:49as many 20th-century British monarchs as they could.
0:32:49 > 0:32:5220th-century British monarchs. Richard?
0:32:52 > 0:32:58Any of the six monarchs of the United Kingdom who reigned at any point during the 20th century.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02OK, Richard. Thank you. Trevor and Isabel,
0:33:02 > 0:33:04you get to go first this time.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12OK. We have an answer from you.
0:33:12 > 0:33:16- George VI.- George VI. You're going for George VI.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19Michael and Wayne, you can do your reasoning out loud for us.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22Queen Victoria died in 1901.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25- On the throne. - I think she did, yes.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27She died on the throne?!
0:33:29 > 0:33:33It's details like that that bring history alive!
0:33:33 > 0:33:36- Like Elvis, of course.- Like Elvis!
0:33:38 > 0:33:41Yes, we'll say Queen Victoria.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44- You're going to say?- Queen Victoria. - In the quietest voice!
0:33:44 > 0:33:47- QUEEN VICTORIA!- Queen Victoria.
0:33:47 > 0:33:52Let us see. We have George VI. We have Queen Victoria.
0:33:52 > 0:33:57Trevor and Isabel. George VI. Is it right and if so, how many people said it?
0:34:02 > 0:34:04Down it goes. 27.
0:34:10 > 0:34:1127.
0:34:11 > 0:34:14Michael and Wayne, Queen Victoria.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17Sneaking in just by one year into the 20th century.
0:34:17 > 0:34:21Let's see if anyone said Queen Victoria.
0:34:28 > 0:34:29Ooh!
0:34:31 > 0:34:3347!
0:34:33 > 0:34:4147. So, after only two questions, Trevor and Isabel are through to the final, two-nil.
0:34:41 > 0:34:45- Straight sets. Richard? - Let's take a look at all six.
0:34:45 > 0:34:48The best answer was Edward VIII.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51The shortest reigning of the monarchs.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53He abdicated. 15 points. Edward VII
0:34:53 > 0:34:56who succeeded Victoria, 21.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59George VI, 27. George V, 28.
0:34:59 > 0:35:01Victoria on 47.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04A lot of people remembered she was still there in 1901.
0:35:04 > 0:35:09And Elizabeth II, with a phenomenally low score of 59.
0:35:09 > 0:35:1159 people out of our 100.
0:35:11 > 0:35:14- 59 people.- That's right.
0:35:14 > 0:35:18I don't know. There was George V.
0:35:18 > 0:35:20Then Edward, very briefly.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23Then George VI. Then there was that woman...
0:35:25 > 0:35:30- Was it Margaret Thatcher?- I can't remember. Margaret Thatcher? I'll toss a coin on it.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32No. Can't remember.
0:35:34 > 0:35:39Very well done. So the losing pair at the end of the head-to-head is Michael and Wayne.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42Bad luck. Keith Moon did for you.
0:35:42 > 0:35:46What are the chief lessons you'll take away from this?
0:35:46 > 0:35:48Not to be too sure of the answers!
0:35:51 > 0:35:54And be correct!
0:35:54 > 0:35:57- Be correct in all things. - In everything.
0:35:57 > 0:36:01Well you have been correct in most things today.
0:36:01 > 0:36:05You've been fantastic contestants. Thanks for playing. See you next time.
0:36:10 > 0:36:13But for Trevor and Isabel, time for our Pointless final
0:36:13 > 0:36:17and the chance to win our jackpot of £1,500.
0:36:23 > 0:36:28Many congratulations, Trevor and Isabel. You've seen off the competition
0:36:28 > 0:36:30and won our coveted Pointless trophy!
0:36:39 > 0:36:42Now, a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at...
0:36:50 > 0:36:54The rules are very simple. All you have to do is find a pointless answer
0:36:54 > 0:36:59that none of our 100 people knew. We've had two pointless answers on the show today.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02You only need to find one more to go home with that money.
0:37:02 > 0:37:07First, choose a category from these three options.
0:37:16 > 0:37:17We'll go with world leaders.
0:37:17 > 0:37:21World leaders. Let's find out what the question is.
0:37:21 > 0:37:26What would you like the question to be? What would be something you'd be...
0:37:26 > 0:37:30- Don't look at me!- Who's the President of the United States.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33- That would be good!- OK.
0:37:33 > 0:37:35Well, here's hoping!
0:37:36 > 0:37:40Here's the question. We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name
0:37:40 > 0:37:45as many Australian prime ministers as they could.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48Australian prime ministers. Richard.
0:37:48 > 0:37:55Anybody who's held the office of prime minister of Australia from 1901 to 2011.
0:37:55 > 0:38:00- There are 27 names on the list. - You have one minute to find three answers.
0:38:00 > 0:38:05All you need to win that £1,500 is for one answer to be pointless. Your 60 seconds start now.
0:38:05 > 0:38:08- There was a chap called Hawke. - This is all down to you.
0:38:08 > 0:38:13- I know there was a lady. - There's a lady prime minister now.
0:38:13 > 0:38:15I can't think of her name.
0:38:15 > 0:38:18There was a chap called Hawke.
0:38:18 > 0:38:21Um... Oh, goodness me. I can't think.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23I can't think of them.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29- Sorry I'm not much help. - I can't think.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34Well, we'll go with Hawke.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37Jeremy Hawke. We'll say that.
0:38:37 > 0:38:39We'll also say...
0:38:41 > 0:38:44I can't think of his name.
0:38:44 > 0:38:45I cannot think.
0:38:45 > 0:38:51- What's the one that's there now? We have to say something. - She's of Welsh descent.
0:38:51 > 0:38:52But I'm not sure.
0:38:52 > 0:38:55Um. I just can't think.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57I cannot think.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00Five seconds left.
0:39:00 > 0:39:03- Sorry, we're not doing very well. - No.- Don't worry.
0:39:03 > 0:39:05Your minute is up.
0:39:05 > 0:39:08We were looking for Australian prime ministers.
0:39:08 > 0:39:12I now need three answers from you.
0:39:12 > 0:39:17- There was one called Bob Hawke, if I remember rightly. - We've gone from Jeremy to Bob!
0:39:17 > 0:39:22We'll go for...Robert Lindsay.
0:39:22 > 0:39:28- He would be brilliant in that role. - He should be an Australian prime minister!- Yes.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31- I think he'd be wonderful. - And there's Jane Matilda.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34- Jane Matilda. - She's very good at waltzing!
0:39:34 > 0:39:40Jane Matilda. Which of those is your most confident stab at a pointless answer?
0:39:40 > 0:39:44The only one I've any confidence in is Bob Hawke.
0:39:44 > 0:39:50We shall put Bob Hawke last. Would you like Bobby Lindsay to go first, or..?
0:39:50 > 0:39:55- I think Robert Lindsay. - Robert Lindsay. We'll put him first, shall we?
0:39:55 > 0:39:58- Yes.- And Jane Matilda second!
0:39:58 > 0:40:02OK. We were looking for Australian prime ministers. We'll put them on the board.
0:40:10 > 0:40:14You only need one of these to be pointless to win the £1,500.
0:40:14 > 0:40:19Let's see if Robert Lindsay is, or has been, prime minister of Australia.
0:40:19 > 0:40:23Is it correct, and if so, how many people said Robert Lindsay.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28Yes, I'm afraid we...
0:40:28 > 0:40:32I know. He hasn't yet done that. He hasn't yet done that.
0:40:32 > 0:40:38Unfortunately, that is not a pointless answer. Only two more chances to win today's jackpot.
0:40:38 > 0:40:42Let's try your next answer, Jane Matilda.
0:40:42 > 0:40:46I have to say, these are very well constructed personalities
0:40:46 > 0:40:50you're putting forward for the premiership of Australia.
0:40:50 > 0:40:54Has anyone ever been called Jane Matilda and been prime minister of Australia?
0:40:54 > 0:40:57This has to be correct.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02AUDIENCE GROANS
0:41:02 > 0:41:05I know. It's a shame. A shame.
0:41:05 > 0:41:10Sadly not yet has anyone been called Jane Matilda. Now, then.
0:41:10 > 0:41:15We now have a name and it came to you suddenly. Bob Hawke.
0:41:15 > 0:41:18It has to be pointless. It has to be correct.
0:41:18 > 0:41:23But this is your third and final shot at the jackpot of £1,500.
0:41:23 > 0:41:28Bob Hawke. Is it right and if so, how many people said it? Bob Hawke.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33Well done. It's right.
0:41:33 > 0:41:35Down it goes. It has to go all the way down to zero
0:41:35 > 0:41:38to win that £1,500 jackpot.
0:41:38 > 0:41:40Into the 30s, the 20, the teens!
0:41:40 > 0:41:42Into single figures! Six!
0:41:42 > 0:41:45APPLAUSE
0:41:47 > 0:41:49That was going a long way down.
0:41:50 > 0:41:53Sadly, it didn't go all the way down.
0:41:53 > 0:41:57Unfortunately, you didn't manage to find that crucial pointless answer
0:41:57 > 0:42:00so you don't win the jackpot which rolls over to the next show.
0:42:00 > 0:42:05You have been amazing contestants and you take home our Pointless trophy!
0:42:08 > 0:42:11So, Richard.
0:42:11 > 0:42:15Bob Hawke. Good answer. The Welsh lady who's currently there is Julia Gillard.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18She was born in Wales and went there at the age of five.
0:42:18 > 0:42:22Here's the pointless answers. I hope they don't ring a bell.
0:42:40 > 0:42:43Well done if you got those, particularly if you're not Australian.
0:42:43 > 0:42:47If you are Australian, shame on you if you didn't get some of those!
0:42:47 > 0:42:51Thank you, Richard. Sadly, we have to say goodbye, Trevor and Isabel.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54You've been brilliant contestants. Thanks for playing.
0:42:54 > 0:42:56- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:42:59 > 0:43:02So nobody's won our jackpot today
0:43:02 > 0:43:06which means it rolls over to the next show when we'll be playing for...
0:43:12 > 0:43:17- Join us next time to see if someone can win it. It's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:17 > 0:43:19And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
