0:00:20 > 0:00:23CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Thank you. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong,
0:00:27 > 0:00:31and a very warm welcome to the show where popular answers mean nothing
0:00:31 > 0:00:34and obscure answers mean everything. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42Welcome to Louise and Jon. You are our first pair on the show.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44How do you two know each other?
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Hi, Alexander. We are married.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49We've been together for about eight and a half years.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51We met in Australia, backpacking.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55So out to Australia independently, back together. Fabulous.
0:00:55 > 0:01:00Fabulous. Louise, what topic are you really praying is going to come up?
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Anything to do with France or French,
0:01:02 > 0:01:06because I used to live in France. Food and drink.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10I like eating out and cooking, so that would be great.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12Splendid. Lovely to have you here. Best of luck to you.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16Next we welcome Jimmy and Andy. How do you two know each other?
0:01:16 > 0:01:20I've known Jimmy for 12 years. We're both railwaymen.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Jimmy used to be my boss, and now I'm Jimmy's boss.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25See, how does that happen?
0:01:25 > 0:01:29Just reversed roles. The gamekeeper turned poacher
0:01:29 > 0:01:31and reversed roles again, Alexander.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34I'm going to take a stab in the dark here. You're from Liverpool.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37- We are, yeah.- Yeah. Good stab.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40- Very good. Best of luck to the pair of you.- Thank you.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44Next we welcome back Roxx and Myth, the guys from Whisky And Lace.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47- Hiya.- Indeed. - Great to have you here again.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51You were on last time. We give everyone two chances to get through to the Pointless final.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55This is your final chance. Remind us how you did last time.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57We made it through to the head-to-head,
0:01:57 > 0:02:00- which we were pleased about. - Suddenly in the head-to-head,
0:02:00 > 0:02:04you revealed that you were a sometime science teacher.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06That's true, yeah. It's my third year,
0:02:06 > 0:02:09but this year I'm supply teaching.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13Amazing. I just want to know what Myth's going to reveal this time!
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Perhaps he's an amateur jockey or something.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17LAUGHTER
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Well, I'm sure we'll discover in the fullness of time.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22Great to have you back, guys.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Finally we welcome back Yvonne and Doreen.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27You were on the show last time. Everyone gets two chances,
0:02:27 > 0:02:30and this is your second. Yvonne, what do you do for a living?
0:02:30 > 0:02:34Oh, well, Alexander, I've had more jobs than you've had hot dinners.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38I've done everything from being a chip-shop girl,
0:02:38 > 0:02:41checkout operator, worked in a factory,
0:02:41 > 0:02:43worked for the government... The last job I had, though,
0:02:43 > 0:02:47was looking after old people, but then I became one,
0:02:47 > 0:02:49- so I had to give it up. - LAUGHTER
0:02:49 > 0:02:52Anyway, we will find out more about all of you throughout the show.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55Very best of luck, Yvonne and Doreen.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58There is only one person left for me to introduce.
0:02:58 > 0:03:03He is an Aladdin's cave of obscure facts and figures. He's my Pointless friend. He's Richard!
0:03:07 > 0:03:11It's going to be a very good show. We've got two strong returning pairs,
0:03:11 > 0:03:14Roxx and Myth, and Doreen and Yvonne.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17We had a message from the hotel where everyone stays overnight,
0:03:17 > 0:03:21saying that one of our returning pairs, mentioning no names,
0:03:21 > 0:03:24emptied their minibar, smashed up their room and threw the TV out the window.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27Now, Doreen and Yvonne, I have to tell you...
0:03:27 > 0:03:30that's not what we expect of our returners, is it?
0:03:32 > 0:03:35- HE LAUGHS - Very good. OK.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38We've put all our questions to 100 people before the show,
0:03:38 > 0:03:41but this is Pointless, so we want the answers they didn't get.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45The fewer people who got the answer, the better your chance of winning.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Everyone's trying to find a pointless answer -
0:03:48 > 0:03:50an answer that none of our 100 people gave,
0:03:50 > 0:03:54and each time that happens, we will add 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57Nobody won the jackpot last time, so we will add another £1,000 to that.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01So today's jackpot starts off at £5,000.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03APPLAUSE
0:04:07 > 0:04:08OK, let's play Pointless.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Right. In the first round, each of you must give me one answer,
0:04:17 > 0:04:19and you cannot confer with your partner.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23The team with the highest score at the end will be eliminated.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25OK. Your category for the first round is...
0:04:25 > 0:04:28Farmyard Animals.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33Can you decide in your pairs who will go first and second?
0:04:33 > 0:04:37And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:04:43 > 0:04:47to name as many breeds of cattle as they could.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50Breeds of cattle. Richard?
0:04:50 > 0:04:53We're going to show you seven. Some are very well known.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55They'll score you a lot of points. Some are obscure.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59They'll score you very few. As always, there's at least one incorrect answer,
0:04:59 > 0:05:03- and at least one pointless answer. - OK. Thanks very much, Richard.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Louise and Jon, you all drew lots before the show,
0:05:06 > 0:05:08and this afternoon you get to go first.
0:05:08 > 0:05:13We're going to give you a choice of seven possible answers in each pass.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15The first set of seven reads like this.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Guess which one of those is my favourite!
0:05:35 > 0:05:38I can tell you that at least one of those answers is pointless,
0:05:38 > 0:05:42but do be careful, because at least one of those answers is incorrect.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Pick one of those incorrect answers,
0:05:44 > 0:05:46and you will score the maximum of 100 points.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50So, then, Jon - cattle, a subject close to your heart.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Um...
0:05:52 > 0:05:56I think I will try...
0:05:57 > 0:05:59- ..Hereford.- You'll try Hereford?
0:05:59 > 0:06:03- Yes.- OK. Well, let's see if that is a right answer,
0:06:03 > 0:06:06and if it is, how many people said it. Hereford.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10It's good.
0:06:15 > 0:06:16Not a bad score at all, Jon!
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Hereford scores you 16.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24- Richard?- Yeah. Very good start, Jon. Very good answer.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27The Hereford. Comes from the Hereford area.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29LAUGHTER
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Very good, Jon. 16 points for Hereford. Right.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Now, then, Jimmy.
0:06:33 > 0:06:38I'm going to pick something which I can relate back to history,
0:06:38 > 0:06:40and I'll go with Wellington.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Wellington. Sounds delicious!
0:06:42 > 0:06:46Let's see if Wellington is indeed a breed of cow,
0:06:46 > 0:06:49and if it is, how many people said it. Wellington.
0:06:50 > 0:06:55Oh! Unfortunately I was right when I said it sounds delicious.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57It is a wrong answer, which means, I'm afraid,
0:06:57 > 0:07:00you score the maximum of 100 points. Richard, Wellington.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04Sorry about that. Wellington is a boot, a city and a Womble,
0:07:04 > 0:07:08- but it's not a breed of cattle. - And it's beef!- Wellington beef.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Sorry about that.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14Sadly that scores you the maximum of 100 points.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Now, then, Roxx,
0:07:16 > 0:07:19you are also a cattle breeder, aren't you?
0:07:19 > 0:07:23Well, being Welsh, it's sheep for me more than cows.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27- OK.- But I'm not fussy, so...
0:07:27 > 0:07:29LAUGHTER
0:07:31 > 0:07:36Looking at the answers, I think I've got to say Beefmaster.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38- Beefmaster!- Yeah.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41I tell you what, that is your second album right there.
0:07:41 > 0:07:42LAUGHTER
0:07:42 > 0:07:45Let's see if it's right! Beefmaster.
0:07:47 > 0:07:48It's right!
0:07:50 > 0:07:51Look at that!
0:07:54 > 0:07:57- CHEERING - Well played, that. Well played.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03The luck of the Whisky And Lace continues.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07That scores you one, one point for Beefmaster. Richard?
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Yeah. Very good answer, Roxx. It was originated in 1954.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14Can you imagine what country invented the Beefmaster?
0:08:14 > 0:08:17- America. America. - Of course they did, yes. From Texas.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Thank you very much, Richard.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24And so, Doreen, we come to you and your dazzling knowledge
0:08:24 > 0:08:29- of breeds of cattle.- Well, of course. It's one of my specialities.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33There is still a pointless answer on that board - at least one.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36- There could be two. - I'm going to go for Murray Grey,
0:08:36 > 0:08:38cos the other two are fairly well known.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Very good. Murray Grey.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44Let's see if Doreen is right and Murray Grey is a breed of cattle,
0:08:44 > 0:08:47and if it is, how many people said it. Murray Grey.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49It's right!
0:08:51 > 0:08:54I have a feeling this is going a long way down.
0:08:56 > 0:08:57Well done, Doreen!
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Very well done.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Murray Grey is a pointless answer,
0:09:04 > 0:09:07and it adds £250 to today's jackpot.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11Scores you absolutely nothing, takes the jackpot up to £5,250.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Very well done. Richard?
0:09:17 > 0:09:20Very well done. Yvonne, you got a pointless on the last show.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Now Doreen's got one. Fantastically well done.
0:09:23 > 0:09:24It's from the Upper Murray Valley in Australia.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27Let's take a look through the rest of the board.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31The big score there is Jersey. We all know Jersey cows.
0:09:31 > 0:09:35That would've scored you 43. Highland is a breed of cattle.
0:09:35 > 0:09:40Has a long shaggy coat and big horns. It's like a Whisky And Lace van.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42LAUGHTER
0:09:42 > 0:09:43The Ayrshire is also a correct answer,
0:09:43 > 0:09:47but would've scored you just three points.
0:09:47 > 0:09:48Well done if you got those right at home.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52OK. Thanks very much, Richard. We're halfway through the round,
0:09:52 > 0:09:55so let's look at the scores. Well, Doreen and Yvonne,
0:09:55 > 0:09:58looking fantastic there with nothing on the scoreboard.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02Just behind them, Roxx and Myth, with one, very impressive low score,
0:10:02 > 0:10:05then Jon and Louise on 16, and then way out in front,
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Jimmy and Andy, I'm afraid, on 100 points.
0:10:07 > 0:10:11Andy, try and find a pointless answer on the next pass,
0:10:11 > 0:10:14and hope somebody else scores very high indeed.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16We can come back down the line.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:10:20 > 0:10:23OK. We're going to put seven more answers on the board.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26We are looking for breeds of cattle, remember, and we have got...
0:10:35 > 0:10:38I'll read those one more time.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47I can tell you that at least one of those answers is pointless,
0:10:47 > 0:10:49and also at least one of those answers is wrong.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Pick a wrong answer and you will score 100 points.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56Now, then, Yvonne, you have to score 99 points or less
0:10:56 > 0:10:59to ensure that you are through to the next round,
0:10:59 > 0:11:02because Andy and Jimmy are the high scorers on 100.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04We are looking for breeds of cattle.
0:11:04 > 0:11:09I'm going to play very tactically, and keep us in the game
0:11:09 > 0:11:12- by saying Friesian. - Here's your red line,
0:11:12 > 0:11:17just below the pink line there. Let's see if Friesian is correct,
0:11:17 > 0:11:20and if it is, how many people said it. Friesian.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22Well done, Yvonne.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Down it goes. 39.
0:11:27 > 0:11:32Friesian scoring you 39, and giving you a total of 39.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36- Richard, Friesian?- That's the perfect way to play the game.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Safely through. Friesian is a dairy breed, Holstein Friesian,
0:11:39 > 0:11:42- from the Netherlands. - Right. So, Myth,
0:11:42 > 0:11:44we have six options there for you to choose from.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48There is still a pointless answer on that board, at least one.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50There is still at least one incorrect answer.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54I think I'm going to follow suit with the girls
0:11:54 > 0:11:56and play it safe,
0:11:56 > 0:11:59and go for Guernsey.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02You're going to go for Guernsey? Little side bet -
0:12:02 > 0:12:06- will Guernsey score higher or lower than Friesian?- Slightly lower.
0:12:06 > 0:12:11Wow! OK. 98 points or less will get you through to the next round.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14There is your red line. Once again it's just below the pink,
0:12:14 > 0:12:19and you're going for Guernsey, which you think will be lower than Friesian. Let's see.
0:12:19 > 0:12:20Guernsey.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26You're through to the next round. That's the main thing.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30It is lower than Friesian! Look at that! Ten points!
0:12:32 > 0:12:36Very good, and that takes your total up to 11.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41- Richard, Guernsey.- Well done, Myth. Another dairy breed,
0:12:41 > 0:12:44produce a very rich milk with a kind of golden colour.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48OK. Thanks, Richard. Now, Andy, you are our highest scorers on 100.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52You know what you have to do. Two things have to happen.
0:12:52 > 0:12:56You have to score a very, very, very low score here,
0:12:56 > 0:13:00and Louise has to score very, very, very high.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02What's it going to be, Andy?
0:13:02 > 0:13:04I'll steer towards the one I think you might order
0:13:04 > 0:13:07in a German fast-food restaurant.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10- I'll go for the Drakensberger. - Got to be hard on a cow,
0:13:10 > 0:13:13being called "burger" of any kind, hasn't it?
0:13:13 > 0:13:15OK. We are looking for breeds of cattle.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18You are going for Drakensberger. Let's hope that's correct,
0:13:18 > 0:13:22and if it is, let's hope it's pointless. Drakensberger.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25It's right.
0:13:29 > 0:13:33Oh, down it goes! It's pointless!
0:13:35 > 0:13:38Drakensberger is a pointless answer!
0:13:38 > 0:13:41Andy, you have done one of the things that had to happen.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44It scores you nothing, leaves your total at 100 points,
0:13:44 > 0:13:46and adds £250 to today's total,
0:13:46 > 0:13:52taking the jackpot up to £5,500. Very, very well done.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Drakensberger...
0:13:57 > 0:14:01- Sorry, Richard. Richard, sorry.- You must never call me Drakensberger.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04I never will again. It's a good name, though.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07A good name for a Bond villain, Drakensberger.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09A bovine Bond villain.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Beefmaster, I think, coming a close second.
0:14:11 > 0:14:16Very well played, Andy. That's exactly what you needed to do.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19You may have kept yourself in the game, and even if you haven't,
0:14:19 > 0:14:24you've handed somebody else £250, so you've made yourself some friends.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Very well done indeed, Andy. Now, Louise,
0:14:26 > 0:14:28we are looking for breeds of cattle.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32Um... I think I'm going to have a guess,
0:14:32 > 0:14:35and I'm going to go for Aquitaine Blonde.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Aquitaine Blonde. OK. Well, you were on 16.
0:14:38 > 0:14:42The high scorers are Andy and Jimmy on 100.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45If you can score 83 or less with Aquitaine Blonde -
0:14:45 > 0:14:49nice French pronunciation, exactly. There's your red line.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53Below that red line you are through to the next round.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56- What do you think, Jon? - I would've played it safe.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58THEY LAUGH
0:14:58 > 0:15:00What do you mean? I love a pint of Aquitaine Blonde.
0:15:00 > 0:15:04Oh, Aquitaine Blonde!
0:15:04 > 0:15:07There we go. Aquitaine Blonde. Is it right,
0:15:07 > 0:15:09and does it go below the line?
0:15:11 > 0:15:13It's right. It goes below the line.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20It's pointless! Look at that!
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Fabulous news for you.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26Less good news for Andy and Jimmy.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30All the way through I'm still miming my pint of Aquitaine Blonde.
0:15:30 > 0:15:34I'll pop that down on my little mimed occasional table there.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36That's a pointless answer. It scores you nothing.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40Gives you a total of 16, and adds another £250 to today's jackpot,
0:15:40 > 0:15:43taking the total up to £5,750.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47Very good indeed. Aquitaine Blonde.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50It was a big risk, Louise, but it paid off handsomely.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54Let's look at the rest of the board. Aberdeen Angus is one,
0:15:54 > 0:15:57and it would have taken you to the next round. It only got 25 points.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00One of those two, Alexander and everyone at home,
0:16:00 > 0:16:05- is an incorrect answer. - I have a feeling Cleveland Brown is a recording artist.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08- ALEXANDER LAUGHS - I'm not sure. I haven't got -
0:16:08 > 0:16:10You're right for the wrong reason.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13Cleveland Brown is a character from Family Guy,
0:16:13 > 0:16:16and also an American football team, so that was an incorrect answer.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19The Welsh Black would have scored you two points.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22- Well done if you got that. - Thanks, Richard.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26At the end of round one, the losing pair, I'm sorry to say, is Andy and Jimmy.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29Well, I always say this, but you've gone out for the right reasons.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32You took a punt. It was a good punt -
0:16:32 > 0:16:35- just wrong, that was all. - LAUGHTER
0:16:35 > 0:16:38Then you scored a pointless on the second pass!
0:16:38 > 0:16:42You did everything you needed to do. Sorry to be saying goodbye to you,
0:16:42 > 0:16:47but we will see you again next time. Thanks so much for playing.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53For the remaining three pairs, it's now time for round two.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02There's only two pairs in the head-to-head,
0:17:02 > 0:17:05so one team will be leaving us at the end of this round.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09Just make sure it's not you. The category for round two is...
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Children's Stories.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14Children's Stories. Decide in your pairs who's going to go first
0:17:14 > 0:17:18and who's going to go second.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26And the question concerns...
0:17:32 > 0:17:36In this round we'll show you a list of children's stories.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40We asked 100 people to tell us who wrote them. Richard?
0:17:40 > 0:17:43We'll show you six stories on each pass.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45The more popular ones will score you a lot of points,
0:17:45 > 0:17:48the more obscure ones will score you fewer.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50If you give us an incorrect answer, you'll score 100.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53- And see if you can get all six of them at home.- Thanks, Richard.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57We're looking for the authors of these children's stories,
0:17:57 > 0:17:58and we've got...
0:18:08 > 0:18:10Let me read those one more time.
0:18:18 > 0:18:23OK, Jon. So, there are the six children's stories.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26We need an author for a nice obscure one.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28- Did you read any of those when you were younger?- Yeah.
0:18:28 > 0:18:32I read... I think I read three of them.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34One of them I've not even heard of.
0:18:34 > 0:18:39But I'll go for the lowest of the ones that I've read,
0:18:39 > 0:18:41which is Alice's Adventures In Wonderland,
0:18:41 > 0:18:45- was written by Lewis Carroll. - OK. Lewis Carroll, you are saying.
0:18:45 > 0:18:50As always on Pointless, we are looking for the answer the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52You're going to go for Lewis Carroll,
0:18:52 > 0:18:56Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Let's see how many people knew that.
0:19:04 > 0:19:0547.
0:19:07 > 0:19:0847 points.
0:19:08 > 0:19:12- Richard?- Very popular book, and a very popular answer.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15It was first published in 1865 and has never been out of print since.
0:19:15 > 0:19:20Written by Lewis Carroll, or the Reverend Charles Dodgson.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24Indeed. Thank you very much. So, then, Myth,
0:19:24 > 0:19:26these are the children's stories.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30We are looking for the author of a nice obscure one.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33- How many of these do you know? - I recognise all the titles.
0:19:33 > 0:19:38There's only a couple left that I can remember the authors.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42One of them I'm not entirely sure on, so I might play it a bit safe,
0:19:42 > 0:19:45and I'm going to go with James And The Giant Peach,
0:19:45 > 0:19:48- which is by Roald Dahl. - OK. Well, let's see if it's right,
0:19:48 > 0:19:53and if it is, how many people said James And The Giant Peach, Roald Dahl.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56It's right.
0:19:59 > 0:20:0154.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08- James And The Giant Peach scoring you 54. Richard?- Good answer,
0:20:08 > 0:20:13but even more popular. It was originally going to be called James And The Giant Cherry,
0:20:13 > 0:20:16but Roald Dahl decided that peaches were bigger and squishier.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18True!
0:20:18 > 0:20:22Um, very good. Very good. Good answer.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25So, then, Yvonne,
0:20:25 > 0:20:30you now have four left on the board. Do you know all four of them?
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Well, The Railway Children, I think it's Nesbit,
0:20:33 > 0:20:36but I don't know the first name.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39The Sheep-Pig and The Borrowers - sorry, not a clue.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42But The Jungle Book was definitely Rudyard Kipling,
0:20:42 > 0:20:46- so I'll go with Rudyard Kipling. - You'll go with Rudyard Kipling.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49OK. Jungle Book, Rudyard Kipling.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51Let's see how many people knew that.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01Very, very good. Look at that! Very close grouping there.
0:21:01 > 0:21:0446 points for The Jungle Book, Rudyard Kipling.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07- Richard?- We had the three biggest scorers there on the board.
0:21:07 > 0:21:11The Railway Children was written by a Nesbit - it was Edith Nesbit,
0:21:11 > 0:21:13and actually would have scored you 20 points.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17That would've been a great answer. Two other low-scoring answers -
0:21:17 > 0:21:21the Sheep-Pig, the book Babe was based on, is by Dick King-Smith,
0:21:21 > 0:21:24who was a farmer and a primary school teacher, would have scored you one,
0:21:24 > 0:21:28and you'd have got one for The Borrowers. Xander, who wrote that?
0:21:28 > 0:21:31- Can't remember.- Everyone's read it, but can't remember.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35It was Mary Norton. Very well done if you got all six of those at home.
0:21:35 > 0:21:40Thanks, Richard. We're halfway through the round, so let's look at the scores.
0:21:40 > 0:21:4346 points to Doreen and Yvonne, so they're the best,
0:21:43 > 0:21:48but not very far behind them on 47, Jon and Louise,
0:21:48 > 0:21:50and then Myth and Roxx, as it turns out,
0:21:50 > 0:21:55you are the high scorers on 54. Roxx, Myth's left the ball in your court rather
0:21:55 > 0:21:57for the next pass. You know what you've got to do.
0:21:57 > 0:22:01Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:22:03 > 0:22:07We'll put six more children's stories on the board,
0:22:07 > 0:22:08and there they are.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Let me read those again.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30We are looking for the authors, and you are trying to find one
0:22:30 > 0:22:32that the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34So, then, Doreen...
0:22:34 > 0:22:37I think it's going to be quite popular,
0:22:37 > 0:22:42but I'm not sure... Well, there's one other one I really know,
0:22:42 > 0:22:44but I'll try Peter Pan, and that's JM Barrie.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47JM Barrie. That's what you're going for.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Our highest scorers are Roxx and Myth on 54.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53If you can manage to score seven or less with JM Barrie,
0:22:53 > 0:22:56you are definitely through to the next round,
0:22:56 > 0:23:00but it's not the end of the world if you score more than that,
0:23:00 > 0:23:03because the other two pairs have yet to answer. Here's your red line,
0:23:03 > 0:23:06down there. Below that red line, you are through.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09JM Barrie.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20Scores you 38.
0:23:20 > 0:23:2338, which is in fact our lowest score so far on this round,
0:23:23 > 0:23:26and that takes your total up to 84. Richard?
0:23:26 > 0:23:29It's going to be close. Everyone is avoiding the obscure ones.
0:23:29 > 0:23:34JM Barrie. First appeared in 1904 as a stage play, the story of Peter Pan.
0:23:34 > 0:23:39- OK. Now, Roxx, what do you reckon? - I did fancy Peter Pan myself, really.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41- Did you?- Well...
0:23:41 > 0:23:44Don't let that get out on the rock scene.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47That'll come back to haunt me, I suppose.
0:23:47 > 0:23:51- You need to score 29 or less with this...- Yeah.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54..to ensure a place in the second round.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57Do I risk...? I've got an idea for Stig Of The Dump,
0:23:57 > 0:24:01and for Winnie-The-Pooh, but I'm not confident enough, really.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05I'm going to go for The Hobbit. I know it was Tolkien.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08OK. You're going to say Tolkien, The Hobbit.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Here's your red line coming in.
0:24:10 > 0:24:15Below that red line, you are definitely through to the next round.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19OK. Tolkien, The Hobbit. Let's see if it's right, and if it is,
0:24:19 > 0:24:21let's see how many people said it.
0:24:25 > 0:24:3047! That's not a terrible score by any means.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33That takes your total up to 101. Richard?
0:24:33 > 0:24:36Yeah. The prelude to The Lord Of The Rings, The Hobbit.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40OK. So, now, Louise, you are on 47.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42The high scorers are now Roxx and Myth on 101.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45If you can score 53 or less with this,
0:24:45 > 0:24:50you are definitely through to the next round.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53- How confident are you feeling? - Not very confident at all.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56I remember Anne Of Green Gables when I was young,
0:24:56 > 0:24:59but I don't know who wrote it. I can't remember.
0:24:59 > 0:25:05Again, I remember Stig Of The Dump. I've never heard of Ballet Shoes.
0:25:06 > 0:25:10And I'm drawing a blank at who wrote Winnie-The-Pooh.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13So I'm going to have to say - make a complete guess -
0:25:13 > 0:25:15say Winnie-the-Pooh and Beatrix Potter.
0:25:15 > 0:25:19You're going to say Winnie-the-Pooh and Beatrix Potter.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22OK. Your target is 53. Here's your red line.
0:25:22 > 0:25:26Below that red line, and you're through to the next round.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29Let's see if it's right, and if it is,
0:25:29 > 0:25:32how many people said Winnie-the-Pooh, Beatrix Potter.
0:25:33 > 0:25:38Yeah. Bad luck, Louise. Bad luck. That is an incorrect answer,
0:25:38 > 0:25:43which means you've scored 100 points, giving you a total of 147.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47- Richard?- Unlucky, Louise. You did get a pointless in the last round,
0:25:47 > 0:25:51so you can be forgiven 100 here. Winnie-the-Pooh was... Anyone?
0:25:51 > 0:25:52- AUDIENCE:- AA Milne. - AA Milne, I'm afraid.
0:25:52 > 0:25:56Would have scored you 36 points.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59Let's take a look at the others. Ballet Shoes, Xander -
0:25:59 > 0:26:02- do you know who wrote Ballet Shoes? - Something like Burnett?
0:26:02 > 0:26:04Frances something...
0:26:04 > 0:26:08- Frances Hodgson Burnett? - Yeah.- Noel Streatfeild.
0:26:08 > 0:26:09- Noel Streatfeild! - LAUGHTER
0:26:09 > 0:26:13Would have scored you six points. Anne of Green Gables
0:26:13 > 0:26:15again is a book everybody's read, but who wrote it?
0:26:15 > 0:26:19It's really tough, isn't it? Well done if you said LM Montgomery
0:26:19 > 0:26:22was the writer of Anne Of Green Gables,
0:26:22 > 0:26:28and Stig Of The Dump was a pointless answer, written by Clive King. Stig Of The Dump.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31OK. Thanks very much, Richard. At the end of round two,
0:26:31 > 0:26:33the losing pair with the highest score is Louise and Jon.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35We will see you again next time.
0:26:35 > 0:26:39What are you hoping will happen next time?
0:26:39 > 0:26:42- Um, not anything on literature.- OK.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Um, maybe geography.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47Geography. Something French, obviously.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51You've done very well. You were nearly through to the head-to-head,
0:26:51 > 0:26:55but next time I am sure you'll do better. Thanks for playing.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57- Great contestants. Thank you. - APPLAUSE
0:26:59 > 0:27:02But for the remaining two pairs,
0:27:02 > 0:27:07things are about to get even more exciting as we enter the head-to-head.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16Well done, Roxx and Myth, Yvonne and Doreen.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20You're through to the head-to-head. Only one pair can go to the final
0:27:20 > 0:27:24and play for the jackpot, which stands, in case you'd forgotten,
0:27:24 > 0:27:27at £5,750.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32Lot of plectrums you can buy for that,
0:27:32 > 0:27:33Yvonne.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37OK. You're going to go head-to-head on the best of three questions.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40For each question, each pair needs to give me just one answer.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43You are now allowed to confer. That's the great news.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46Come up with an answer that scores less than the other pair
0:27:46 > 0:27:49and you will win that question. The pair who get the best of three
0:27:49 > 0:27:53will be playing for today's jackpot. OK. Let's play Pointless.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59Right! Here is your first question.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:28:01 > 0:28:07to name as many African countries beginning with G as they could.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10African countries beginning with G. Richard?
0:28:10 > 0:28:13There are five countries whose English name begins with G.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16We're looking for the most obscure of those.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18As always, by country we mean a sovereign state
0:28:18 > 0:28:22which is a member of the UN. There are five African countries
0:28:22 > 0:28:25that begin with G, as of the start of 2011.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28Thanks very much, Richard. Roxx and Myth,
0:28:28 > 0:28:31because you've played best so far, you go first.
0:28:31 > 0:28:35We are looking for African countries beginning with G.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37THEY WHISPER
0:28:42 > 0:28:46- OK.- Between two of us, we've got the grand total of one.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49LAUGHTER
0:28:49 > 0:28:52- So we're going to go with Ghana. - You're going to go with Ghana?- Yeah.
0:28:52 > 0:28:57OK. Ghana it is. Ghana is off the table, Yvonne and Doreen.
0:28:57 > 0:29:01Well, we think we've got a really good one,
0:29:01 > 0:29:04and it's, er, Guinea-Bissau.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06Guinea-Bissau.
0:29:06 > 0:29:09So, we have Ghana, we have Guinea-Bissau.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11Excellent answer.
0:29:11 > 0:29:16Roxx and Myth went with Ghana. Let's see how many people said Ghana.
0:29:19 > 0:29:22A high scorer. You thought it probably might be.
0:29:27 > 0:29:30And Yvonne and Doreen have gone for Guinea-Bissau.
0:29:30 > 0:29:32Let's see how many people said that.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36It wins.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41Down it goes. Brilliant. Oh!
0:29:44 > 0:29:46Bravo, Yvonne! Well done. And Doreen.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49Guinea-Bissau!
0:29:49 > 0:29:52- Richard?- Another terrific answer. Very well done.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55We got the highest and lowest answer there. Let's look at all five.
0:29:55 > 0:29:59Right at the bottom, Guinea-Bissau with three, then Guinea with ten,
0:29:59 > 0:30:02Gabon with 13, Gambia 41,
0:30:02 > 0:30:05and right at the top there, Ghana with 86.
0:30:05 > 0:30:07Thanks, Richard. So, after the first question,
0:30:07 > 0:30:10it is one-nil to Yvonne and Doreen.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12OK. Second question coming up.
0:30:12 > 0:30:16Roxx and Myth, you have to get this to stay in the game.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19Yvonne and Doreen, if you get this one,
0:30:19 > 0:30:22you are through to the final and playing for that jackpot.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name
0:30:24 > 0:30:27as many Friends characters as they could.
0:30:27 > 0:30:32We're looking for the name of the six characters in Friends.
0:30:32 > 0:30:36We're looking for the first name and surname as they were at the beginning of the series.
0:30:36 > 0:30:40First name and surname. OK. Yvonne and Doreen,
0:30:40 > 0:30:43you go first. Did you watch Friends at all?
0:30:43 > 0:30:47No. I'm afraid not, no. Bit of a non-starter, really.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49Er...
0:30:49 > 0:30:54We're going to have to just wing with Will Smith.
0:30:54 > 0:30:56You're going to go with Will Smith?
0:30:56 > 0:30:58OK.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00Roxx and Myth?
0:31:00 > 0:31:03- Er, Phoebe Buffay, Monica Geller, Ross Geller.- Rachel Green.
0:31:03 > 0:31:08Rachel Green. Er, Joey Tribbiani and Chandler Bing.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11- So, take a punt with Chandler Bing. - Yeah.- We'll go with Chandler Bing.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14OK. We have Will Smith from Yvonne and Doreen,
0:31:14 > 0:31:17and we have Chandler Bing from Roxx and Myth.
0:31:17 > 0:31:19I think we might know the outcome of this.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22Nonetheless, let's take them in order.
0:31:22 > 0:31:23Will Smith.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28OK. Well, there we are.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30We knew that was likely.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32And Chandler Bing we have from Roxx and Myth.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34This merely has to be correct.
0:31:37 > 0:31:38Very good.
0:31:40 > 0:31:4153.
0:31:47 > 0:31:51- Richard?- Yeah. Six characters got very similar scores, actually.
0:31:51 > 0:31:54Which is most obscure? Monica Geller would have scored you 42.
0:31:54 > 0:31:57That was the lowest of all. Ross Geller 48, then Rachel and Phoebe
0:31:57 > 0:32:01both on 51. Chandler Bing the second most popular on 53,
0:32:01 > 0:32:06and Joey Tribbiani on 55. Well done if you got all of those.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09It's one-all at the end of the second question.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12Whoever wins this third point is through to the final
0:32:12 > 0:32:16and playing for that sizeable jackpot.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18OK. Here is your third question.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:32:20 > 0:32:27to name as many Scrabble letters worth five or more as they could.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30- Richard?- Quite simple, this one.
0:32:30 > 0:32:34Just looking for letters worth five or more in the English-language version of Scrabble.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36OK.
0:32:36 > 0:32:40Thanks very much. Roxx and Myth?
0:32:40 > 0:32:43We know a few.
0:32:43 > 0:32:48I think the one we're going to go with is worth five exactly,
0:32:48 > 0:32:52- and we're going to go with K. - You're going to go with K.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55- K.- OK, which you think is worth five exactly.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58Now, Yvonne and Doreen, you're Scrabble players.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01- Yes.- You know your way around the Scrabble alphabet in the dark.
0:33:01 > 0:33:05- Well, when I say yes, you know... - The thing is,
0:33:05 > 0:33:09- which one do less people know about? - That's the trouble.
0:33:09 > 0:33:13Don't confuse the Scrabble scores with the Pointless scores.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15- Do you think that J might be...? - Possibly.
0:33:15 > 0:33:21- We're going to risk it and say J. - For grouping I couldn't fault you.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23Neighbouring letters in the alphabet there.
0:33:23 > 0:33:26You're going to go for J. So we have K and we have J.
0:33:27 > 0:33:32Roxx and Myth, you've gone for K. Let's see how many people said K.
0:33:40 > 0:33:4223!
0:33:46 > 0:33:5123. Well, they're neighbours in the alphabet.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54Do you think they'll be that close in score, I wonder?
0:33:54 > 0:33:57It all comes down to this final one. Let's see how many people said J.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03Well, it's right.
0:34:06 > 0:34:07Oh!
0:34:13 > 0:34:18Bad luck, Yvonne and Doreen! That was exciting.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21Bad luck. Well done, Roxx and Myth!
0:34:21 > 0:34:23Yes, 33 points for J. Only 23 for K.
0:34:23 > 0:34:27So, after the third question, Roxx and Myth are through 2-1.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29Very well played, both teams.
0:34:29 > 0:34:34Those are the best answers you could've given. You couldn't have beaten K.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36Let's take a look at all five of them.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39K, which is worth five, would have got you 23.
0:34:39 > 0:34:43J was 33, Q 58,
0:34:43 > 0:34:45X 69, worth eight points,
0:34:45 > 0:34:47and Z, which is worth ten, would have got you 70.
0:34:47 > 0:34:51And "zxqjk" I actually played on a Scrabble board the other day.
0:34:51 > 0:34:55It's an Albanian tree frog. THEY LAUGH
0:34:55 > 0:34:58If anybody says different...
0:34:58 > 0:35:00LAUGHTER
0:35:00 > 0:35:02487 points I got for that.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04LAUGHTER
0:35:04 > 0:35:06Thanks very much, Richard.
0:35:06 > 0:35:09So the losing pair - I'm so sorry, Yvonne and Doreen.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12I'm afraid we say goodbye to you at this stage.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15- I thought you had Scrabble wrapped up there.- Never mind.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18- Maybe another time. - Maybe another time.
0:35:18 > 0:35:22What advice would you pass on to the people coming on next time?
0:35:22 > 0:35:24- Don't bother swotting. - THEY LAUGH
0:35:24 > 0:35:27Yeah. It's been lovely having you on the show.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29Thank you so much for playing. Thank you.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31APPLAUSE
0:35:33 > 0:35:36But for Roxx and Myth, it's now time for our final,
0:35:36 > 0:35:40and the chance to win our jackpot of £5,750.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42CHEERING
0:35:46 > 0:35:49Congratulations, Roxx and Myth.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51You've fought off all the competition
0:35:51 > 0:35:54and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01APPLAUSE
0:36:01 > 0:36:05Oh, it's very exciting. OK. You now have a chance
0:36:05 > 0:36:09to win our Pointless jackpot. At the end of today's show,
0:36:09 > 0:36:13the jackpot stands at a pretty decent £5,750.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21The rules are very simple. To win that money,
0:36:21 > 0:36:23all you need to do is find a pointless answer -
0:36:23 > 0:36:26an answer no-one else could think of.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29We've had three on the show today. You only have to find one more
0:36:29 > 0:36:31to go home with that £5,750.
0:36:31 > 0:36:36First you've got to choose a category from these three options. You can go for...
0:36:41 > 0:36:45- What do you fancy? - I'm leaning towards Words myself.
0:36:45 > 0:36:48I am, as well, because fashion, obviously, we don't know much about.
0:36:48 > 0:36:50LAUGHTER
0:36:50 > 0:36:52Still stuck somewhere in 1984.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55That's fashion! Still a fashion.
0:36:55 > 0:36:57I like words. I use words quite often.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00Yeah. Almost use them in daily conversation,
0:37:00 > 0:37:03- so we'll go for words.- Yeah.
0:37:03 > 0:37:05OK. Words it is.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08Let's find out what the question is.
0:37:09 > 0:37:12We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name...
0:37:12 > 0:37:17as many words ending in S-E-T as they could.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20- Richard?- We're looking for any word that ends S-E-T
0:37:20 > 0:37:24in the Oxford English Dictionary. If it's not there, we won't accept it.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27We won't accept proper nouns, hyphenated words.
0:37:27 > 0:37:32Any word ending S-E-T that's in the Oxford English Dictionary.
0:37:32 > 0:37:37We won't accept the word "set", though I suspect it wouldn't have been a pointless answer.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39You have one minute to come up with three answers,
0:37:39 > 0:37:42and all you need to win that £5,750
0:37:42 > 0:37:45is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47Your 60 seconds start now.
0:37:47 > 0:37:50- Right, what have you got? Ideas! - I've got "onset".
0:37:50 > 0:37:52These are the obvious ones, aren't they?
0:37:52 > 0:37:57- "Gusset"?- Gusset! I like that. - Gusset, yeah.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59- "Mindset"! Is that a word? - Yeah, mindset.
0:37:59 > 0:38:04- "Bedset". No. Bedsit, is it? - Bedset is below the ground.
0:38:04 > 0:38:06I'm trying to think, is there any French words
0:38:06 > 0:38:10we've taken into our language that end in, like...
0:38:10 > 0:38:13- "Plie", but that's not... - I get what you're saying,
0:38:13 > 0:38:16but I can't think of any off the top of my head.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19- "Blase". Is that a word? - Blase. That's B-L-A...
0:38:19 > 0:38:21Blase. Um...
0:38:21 > 0:38:23- We've got gusset. - Gusset, onset, mindset.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25- Mindset.- "Reset"?
0:38:25 > 0:38:27No. It's not one.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29Um...
0:38:29 > 0:38:31Trying to think.
0:38:31 > 0:38:34- We've got two.- We've got three.
0:38:34 > 0:38:38Well, yeah, but that's the obvious one, onset.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41Or reset, like you said. Um...
0:38:42 > 0:38:46- Five seconds. - Any other ones come to mind?
0:38:46 > 0:38:48Um, no.
0:38:48 > 0:38:50- Let's go for that.- Yeah.
0:38:50 > 0:38:55OK. Your minute is up. We were looking for words ending in S-E-T.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57I now need three answers from you.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59Er... Go on.
0:38:59 > 0:39:03As one, probably, of the more obvious ones,
0:39:03 > 0:39:05- we'll go with "onset".- Onset.
0:39:05 > 0:39:08- Er, "mindset".- Mindset.
0:39:08 > 0:39:10- And then "gusset"... - And then gusset.
0:39:10 > 0:39:14- For our final...- OK. Let's put those up on the board in that order,
0:39:14 > 0:39:20and here they are. Onset, mindset and gusset.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25There we are. We were looking for words ending in S-E-T.
0:39:25 > 0:39:27This was your least confident answer.
0:39:27 > 0:39:31You only need one of these to be pointless to win that £5,750.
0:39:31 > 0:39:37OK. So, let's see how many people said "onset".
0:39:42 > 0:39:48OK. This for £5,750. Still going down.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50Quite a good indicator of our 100 people.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52- 20 of them...- Surprised!
0:39:52 > 0:39:5820 of them said "onset". And that was your least confident answer.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01Unfortunately, obviously that's not a pointless answer,
0:40:01 > 0:40:04but gives an indication. Confident?
0:40:04 > 0:40:06- More confident.- Now, yeah.
0:40:06 > 0:40:10Yeah. Not bad at all. OK. You only have two more chances
0:40:10 > 0:40:14to win today's jackpot, 5,750 quid. How do you spend that?
0:40:14 > 0:40:17Guitars, drinking, women,
0:40:17 > 0:40:19and then waste the rest.
0:40:19 > 0:40:21Waste the rest? Very good. OK.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23THEY LAUGH
0:40:23 > 0:40:25Well, we are looking for words ending in S-E-T.
0:40:25 > 0:40:28Let's hope nobody said your next answer, which is "mindset".
0:40:28 > 0:40:32You think that's going to perform less well than "onset",
0:40:32 > 0:40:35- a bit lower?- I think so, yeah. - OK. Let's hope so.
0:40:35 > 0:40:39Mindset. Let's see how many people said "mindset".
0:40:41 > 0:40:44OK. This is your second shot at the jackpot.
0:40:44 > 0:40:48It has to be pointless for you to win that £5,750.
0:40:48 > 0:40:51Down it goes. Still going down. Look at that!
0:40:51 > 0:40:54- 12! - APPLAUSE
0:40:58 > 0:41:01So "mindset" not pointless, but going in the right direction.
0:41:01 > 0:41:04- It is. - "Onset"... "Mindset" down to 12.
0:41:04 > 0:41:07It's looking pretty good for "gusset", isn't it?
0:41:07 > 0:41:11I hope it's a word now, because if it's not, I'll... Oof!
0:41:11 > 0:41:14You only have one more chance to win today's jackpot.
0:41:14 > 0:41:18£5,750 could be yours if nobody came up with "gusset".
0:41:18 > 0:41:21Let's see how many people said it. "Gusset".
0:41:21 > 0:41:24Let's see how many times I can say it. "Gusset".
0:41:24 > 0:41:26THEY LAUGH
0:41:27 > 0:41:31OK. Your third and final shot at the jackpot.
0:41:31 > 0:41:34This has to go all the way down to pointless
0:41:34 > 0:41:38for you to win that £5,750. Down it goes. Still going down.
0:41:38 > 0:41:41Oh!
0:41:41 > 0:41:44THEY CHATTER
0:41:44 > 0:41:46APPLAUSE
0:41:46 > 0:41:51Unfortunately you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer,
0:41:51 > 0:41:54so you don't win today's jackpot, which rolls over to the next show,
0:41:54 > 0:41:56but you've been fantastic contestants
0:41:56 > 0:42:00and you do get to take home our Pointless trophy. There we are.
0:42:07 > 0:42:09- So, Richard? - Yeah. Unlucky, Roxx. Unlucky, Myth.
0:42:09 > 0:42:13You played very well. Your "gusset" let you down at the last minute,
0:42:13 > 0:42:15but other than that, you were actually...
0:42:15 > 0:42:19You'll be appalled to hear there's over 60 pointless answers here.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22At home, I won't go through all of them,
0:42:22 > 0:42:25but if you've got one, you can look them up.
0:42:25 > 0:42:28I'll show you some of the more interesting ones -
0:42:28 > 0:42:31"boneset", which is a North American plant,
0:42:31 > 0:42:36"crosset", which is a small cross and also a type of plant cutting,
0:42:36 > 0:42:39"downset", as in the setting of the sun.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42Those were all pointless. "Superset",
0:42:42 > 0:42:47which is a scientific term for a set that contains other sets.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49"Toolset" was a pointless answer,
0:42:49 > 0:42:53and "underset", which means roughly the same as "underpin".
0:42:53 > 0:42:57All of those were pointless. Very well done if you got one.
0:42:57 > 0:43:01Unfortunately we do have to say goodbye to you, Roxx and Myth.
0:43:01 > 0:43:04It's been great having you on the show. You're fantastic contestants.
0:43:04 > 0:43:06- Thank you so much for playing. - Thank you.
0:43:10 > 0:43:13Nobody's won our jackpot today, so it rolls over,
0:43:13 > 0:43:19which means that on the next show, we'll be playing for £6,750.
0:43:19 > 0:43:22THEY CHEER
0:43:22 > 0:43:24Join us next time. See if someone can win it.
0:43:24 > 0:43:26- It's goodbye from Richard... - Goodbye.
0:43:26 > 0:43:28And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
0:43:31 > 0:43:34'If you want to be on the next series of Pointless,
0:43:34 > 0:43:36'you can find out more by going to...'
