Episode 20 Pointless

APPLAUSE

Thank you very much.

I'm Alexander Armstrong and a warm welcome to Pointless,

the quiz where popular answers mean nothing

and obscure answers mean everything.

Let's meet today's players.

So, welcome back, Michael and Wayne. You were on the show last time.

Everyone gets two shots at the final, this is your last chance.

Remind us how you did.

-We got thrashed in the head to head.

-You did, weirdly.

-Quite a bit.

You were very strong contenders all the way through

and then, head to head, Solid Gold left you in their wake.

They did, yeah. Weak subjects for us.

What do you hope is going to come up this afternoon, Michael?

-Erm, another football grounds would be good.

-Yeah.

-Football grounds.

-History of Oxford United.

-OK.

-Very good. Wayne?

-Entertainment-style things.

Entertainment-style things. Well, best of luck to the pair of you.

Great to have you back.

And we welcome back Sarah and Emma. You were here last time.

This is your second shot at the Pointless final.

-Remind us what happened to you.

-We went out in the first round.

-Volcanoes.

-And it was my fault. I take full responsibility.

That's good, yeah.

LAUGHTER

-I take no responsibility.

-None whatsoever.

-What are you hoping is going to come up?

-We'd like rock music to come up

because that's a specialist subject.

Our dad's a big rocker and my boyfriend's a rocker, as well.

So you were brought up...? Rock is mother's milk to you.

My first day at primary school somebody asked me what my favourite song was

and it was Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden

and I was five-years-old.

I like 668, which is the neighbour of the beast.

LAUGHTER

That's brilliant. Well, very best of luck to the pair of you.

Lovely to have you back.

And we welcome back Laura and Adam. Lovely to have you back as well.

You were also on the show last time. Remind us what happened.

Last time, we were knocked out in the second round,

even though we had a football ground question, which was probably my ideal question,

-it's not Laura's strong point.

-Not really, no.

-You got it right, though.

-Yes but with a lot of points.

You did well. You did the right thing and you're back,

so this time, you can use all the Pointless know-how that you picked up last time

to good effect. Best of luck to you.

And finally, we've got Stuart and Greg. How do you know each other?

We went to school together. We met when we were 11.

-And remained friends all the way through?

-Yeah, the whole time.

The whole time. Stuart, what do you do?

I work for PPL, a collection society in the music industry.

-We pay royalties to record companies and performers.

-Very good indeed.

-And how about you, Greg?

-I work at King's Cross station.

-I'm a shift manager, there.

-Excellent.

-Which bit of King's Cross?

-The overground station.

Which is, I have to say, the best part of King's Cross.

The way they run that, it's like clockwork. It is amazing.

Well, we'll find out more about all of you throughout the show.

There's only one person left to introduce, the authority on all things obscure,

-he is my Pointless friend, he's Richard.

-Hello. Hiya.

APPLAUSE

Hello.

-How are you this afternoon?

-I'm very well. How about you?

-Very well.

It's going to be a great show. We've got three returning pairs.

Michael and Wayne were terrifically good last time

and got to the head to head.

I honestly think Sarah and Emma were very ill-served last time

and they've got the added pressure

that every single child they've ever taught is going to be watching,

slightly hoping for them to fail. That's my opinion.

And the good news for Wayne is, the first two questions are entertainment-style thingies.

Thank you, Richard.

We put all our questions to 100 people

but on Pointless we're after the obscure answers they didn't get.

What everyone's trying to do is find a pointless answer,

an answer that none of our 100 people gave

and each time that happens, we add £250 to the jackpot.

Nobody won the jackpot last time, so we add £1,000 to that,

so today's jackpot starts off

-at £2,500.

-APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Very good. Let's play Pointless.

In the first round, each of you must give me one answer

and you cannot confer with your partner.

The team with the highest score at the end of the round

will be eliminated.

OK, our first category this afternoon is:

There we are. Films.

Sarah and Emma are delighted with that.

Decide in your pairs who's going first and who's going second

and whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many Western films as they could.

Western films, Richard.

Yes, all the correct answers in this round are Westerns

as classified by the Internet Movie Database.

All the incorrect answers will not be Western films.

-Mm.

-Yeah.

-Right, OK.

Michael and Wayne, you all drew lots before the show and you get to go first.

We're going to give you a choice of seven possible answers

on the board in each pass.

Your first set of answers goes like this.

I'll read those again.

And I can tell you at least one of those answers is pointless

and at least one of those answers is incorrect.

Pick an incorrect one from those seven and you will score the maximum of 100 points.

OK, so, Wayne, entertainment-style thingy, you see. Westerns!

-Really? Oh, Wayne!

-Yeah.

Gosh. There's a couple that I think are quite obvious.

-I don't want to go for those, particularly.

-No.

I'm going to have a stab, it is a little bit of a stab,

at The Outlaw.

Yeah. I think if you can see the title written in that sort of wagon-wheel writing,

-it's surely going to be there.

-I'm thinking of Clint Eastwood.

Let's see if it's correct and if it is, how many people said The Outlaw.

It's right. Very well done, Wayne.

Down to thirties, twenties, teens,

-single figures...

-CHEERING

A pointless answer!

What about that, Wayne?

The Outlaw. It's Pointless.

It adds £250 to today's jackpot,

-which takes the total up to £2,750.

-CHEERING

And it scores you absolutely nothing. Very well done, Wayne.

-Richard?

-Yeah, good start, Wayne.

That Clint Eastwood film you were thinking of is The Outlaw Josey Wales.

This is a 1943 film with Jane Russell.

On the poster, is it written in that sort of wagon-wheel, fairground writing?

It's got a lady lying in hay holding a gun on the poster.

Clothed?

Naked as the day she was born.

I'm just thinking that hay is itchy. It's not nice.

Yes, she's clothed.

You're not going to fire a gun naked, twice.

OK, thank you very much, Richard.

So, now then, Emma.

I'm going to have to go for one which I think is fairly obvious

but may be a safe choice

and that is Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid.

Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid, it's one up from the bottom.

You're going to take that. Let's see if it's right

and if it is, let's see how many people said it.

It's right.

Down it goes. Into the teens...

Single figures! Who'd have thought that? Wow.

Wow. Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid scores you seven. Richard?

-That's a very low score.

-I was expecting in the sixties.

Yeah, a wonderful film. 1969. Robert Redford and Paul Newman.

Very, very well done. A great choice, Emma.

-Oh, Laura.

-I'm...

-Is it all happening again?

Is this Anfield all over again or is this a good topic you?

This isn't too bad for me. I'm going to take a little risk here.

I'm feeling Annie Get Your Gun. I know it's a musical

but I think it's set in the old West,

so I'm going to have a go at Annie Get Your Gun.

OK, Laura, you are saying Annie Get Your Gun.

Fingers crossed that is a Western and a low-scoring one.

Let's see - is it right? How many people said Annie Get Your Gun?

It's right. Very well done, Laura. Brilliant.

-CHEERING

-Brilliant!

That is a fabulous answer. It's pointless, Laura,

which means it adds another £250 to today's jackpot,

-taking the total up to £3,000.

-CHEERING

Most importantly, it scores you nothing.

Annie Get Your Gun, Richard.

Yeah, what a round. Well played, Laura.

An Oscar-winning 1950 film starring Betty Hutton as Annie Oakley.

-The wonderful Betty Hutton.

-Judy Garland was fired.

-Ironically.

-Fired, yeah.

There we are. OK.

Stuart, remember, we are looking for Westerns.

I've not seen it but I've seen clips of it,

so I'm going to go for True Grit.

There we are. True Grit, you're saying, in the middle of the board.

Let's see if it's right and if it is, how many people said True Grit.

You're hoping to score as low as you can.

It's been a very low-scoring round so far. True Grit.

It's right.

Down it comes.

17.

True Grit scores you 17.

Yeah, well done, Stuart. There's the 1969 original with John Wayne

and the Coen brothers' version, which came out in the UK in 2011.

Let's fill in the rest of the board.

The Good, The Bad, The Ugly, of course, is a Western.

That would have scored you a hefty 43 points,

the worst score on the board.

-The Three Amigos is a spoof Western.

-Oh, it is?

-Yeah.

So that counts and it would have scored you one point.

The only incorrect answer there is A Dog, A Horse And A Heart.

That's the menu is my local pub.

It's actually a Barbara Cartland novel.

-A Dog, A Horse...

-And A Heart.

-And A Heart.

I guess, is that what women are looking for in men?

OK, let's take a look at the scores.

Well, Laura and Wayne both managed to find pointless answers,

so we have two zeros.

Next up, Emma, very good on seven.

Stuart, you did what you had to do. On 17, you are ahead of the field.

We're coming back down the line. Can the second players take their places at the podium?

We're going to put another seven answers on the board.

We are looking for Western films and here they are.

I'll read them one more time.

And again, I can tell you that at least one of those is pointless

and at least one of those is incorrect,

so avoid the incorrect ones if you can

or you will score 100 points.

Now, Greg, you're on 17.

You are the high scorers.

You know what you have to do.

Right, I've seen a clip of Shane, which was about 10 seconds long

and it was someone repeatedly shouting, "Shane!"

over a Western-type landscape,

so I'm going to take a gamble that it's a Western.

I tell you, you are selling that film to me.

I er... Yeah.

I greatly enjoyed Colin, which was a very similar film.

There's no red line for you because you're the high scorers.

Let's hope this goes down as far as it possibly can.

Shane, you're saying.

It's right! Very well done, Greg. This might be a low scorer.

Down it goes.

-Brilliant. Nine, that scores you.

-APPLAUSE

Very well done. That takes your total up to 26.

-Richard.

-Well done, Greg.

A 1953 film with Alan Ladd playing a gunfighter who's trying to retire.

It's famous for the scene in which someone shouts "Shane!" over and over again.

-That's in a sort of Western landscape, isn't it? It's...

-Yeah.

It was originally going to be called Where's Shane?

-"Shane!"

-Then it was called Has Anybody Seen Shane?

-Shane!

-Then they just called it Shane.

-Yeah.

-Now, then, Adam.

-I'm doing eeny, meeny, miny, moe in my head

and we've landed on The Man Who Shot Liberty Vallance.

If that's not a cowboy film, I'm going to eat this entire podium.

-Come on - Liberty Vallance?

-I am going to enjoy this.

The Man Who Shot Liberty Vallance.

The high scorers are Stuart and Greg on 26.

You want to be scoring 25 or less with this.

There's your red line.

If The Man Who Shot Liberty Vallance is correct

and goes below that red line, you are through to the next round.

Let's see if it's right and how many people said it.

Please can it be a cowboy film?

Yes! Thank God.

Down it comes.

Through you go.

Very, very, very well done, Adam. Extremely well done.

Two points takes your total up to the very low score of two.

Yeah, 1962 John Ford film starring John Wayne,

-so obviously, it's a cowboy film.

-Thanks, Richard.

-Sarah.

-Hello.

-You are on seven.

-Yes.

If you can manage to score 18 points or fewer with this answer,

we shall be seeing you in the next round.

Remember, we are looking for Westerns. What do you think?

I think there are two films on there that are definitely Westerns,

so I'm going to play it safe.

You're going to play it safe. You need 18 points or less.

-Yeah, I know but...

-There's still a pointless answer on the board.

There's also at least one incorrect answer on the board.

You're putting me in a quandary now.

-I'm just thinking True Grit scored 17.

-I'm going to have a guess

and I'm going to go for Rivertown Junction.

-Rivertown Junction.

-Yeah.

-It sounds likely, doesn't it?

-Yeah.

-Particularly as I forced you into picking it.

-Yes!

-I'm blaming you.

-It's entirely my fault if this gets you out. I'm so sorry.

OK, you have to score 18 points or less. There is your red line.

If you're below that red line, you are through.

Please, can Rivertown Junction be a correct answer

and if it is, let's see how many people said it.

Oh, no, Sarah! Oh!

-I am so sorry.

-As you should be.

LAUGHTER

You did pick Rivertown Junction. That is an incorrect answer,

which takes your score up to, I'm afraid, an unassailable 107.

That's terrible. Rivertown Junction, Richard.

Rivertown Junction, you'll be delighted to hear,

-is part of Dolly Parton's theme park, Dollywood.

-Oh!

Michael and Wayne, you are on nothing.

There is still a pointless answer on that board

and if anyone is going to pick it, I think you, Michael, are the man to do it.

Well, they all sound like Westerns,

so I'm going to go for Cleveland Indians.

Cleveland Indians.

You're hoping he didn't play bass in Herbie Flowers' little outfit.

-Could have done.

-It's a good name.

-Cleveland Indians.

HE MAKES FRETLESS BASS NOISES

Sorry. Is it the bassist from Herbie Flowers' little outfit

or is it a Western film? Let's see if that's a correct answer

and if it is, let's see how many people said it.

-Oh! Bad luck.

-AUDIENCE GROANS

-Bad luck. It's an incorrect answer.

-It is the bass player.

You score the maximum of 100 points but you are through to the next round.

-Richard?

-Yes, the Cleveland Indians are a baseball team

-from Cleveland.

-Of course they are.

Let's have a look at the other answers.

High Noon, with Gary Cooper, would have scored you 22.

-The Unforgiven.

-Clint Eastwood.

-Exactly right.

Would have scored you eight.

And They Died With Their Boots On, by a process of elimination, is Errol Flynn as Custer,

and it was a pointless answer, so well done if you said that.

OK, thanks, Richard.

Well, the losing pair with the highest score, Sarah and Emma.

I... I... I am sorry.

-Dear, oh, dear.

-You're Unforgiven.

APPLAUSE

You have shown True Grit...

-LAUGHTER

-..in this round.

I think it's a Shane.

Oh!

Very, very well done. You've played fantastically,

with exactly the right spirit and you've scored wonderfully low

and when you scored high it was because you took risks.

-You have been wonderful. Thank you for playing.

-Thank you.

-APPLAUSE

But for the remaining three pairs, it's time for round two.

Now, only two pairs can make it through to the head to head, so we'll lose a team in this round.

Make very sure it's not you.

The category for round two is:

Decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going second

and whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

OK, so our question two this afternoon concerns:

In this round, we're about to show you a list of famous couples

who have had a child or children together.

We asked 100 people to tell us the name of their first child.

-Tough one. Richard?

-Yeah, it is.

We're going to show you six couples on each pass.

You need to tell us the name of their first child.

Obscure answers will score fewer points.

An incorrect answer, a wrong name, will score 100 points.

See how many you can get at home. It's quite a tough round, this.

Thanks very much, Richard.

So we are looking for the name of the first child of these couples.

And we have got:

Let me read those one more time.

OK, so there are the couples.

You need to give me the name of their first child.

As always, we are looking for the answer

that the fewest of our 100 people knew.

What do you think, Wayne?

The one that I do know is Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne,

their first child is Aimee.

-Aimee.

-Aimee.

You see, that could be a brilliant answer.

Let's see if Aimee Osbourne is indeed a correct answer

and if it is, let's see how many people said it.

Very well done. 13.

-13, Richard.

-Yeah, Aimee refused to be on The Osbournes,

unlike Jack and Kelly, her siblings.

They have to stop filming every time she visits.

OK, Adam.

I think I know a couple but I'm not 100% sure

but I think I'm going to go with Brooklyn Beckham

for David and Victoria Beckham.

Brooklyn Beckham.

Let's see if it's right and how many people knew that answer.

Brooklyn Beckham. Good luck.

It's right.

48. Mm.

It's a correct answer, Adam, but a costly one, I'd say.

-48 for Brooklyn Beckham, Richard.

-Yeah, a big score.

Brooklyn is where they discovered she was pregnant rather than where the child was conceived.

I'm glad it's where they discovered she was pregnant.

-It feels prurient, knowing where they were conceived.

-Mm.

Room 427 or something.

Good. Very good. I'm glad we've tidied all that up.

Now, then, Greg. We are looking for the names of the firstborn children

of these couples.

As far as the royal family goes,

I'm not certain of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson's child

but I'm thinking there's a couple of princesses called Beatrice and Eugenie

and I think Beatrice comes first in that pairing, so I'm guessing she's the oldest.

-Beatrice.

-Beatrice, yes.

Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.

It's right, Greg. Very well done.

-Down it goes. 39.

-APPLAUSE

Not a bad score at all. Very well salvaged.

-39 for Beatrice.

-Yeah, Beatrice, currently fifth in line to the throne.

As you say, older sister of Eugenie.

Let's fill in the rest of the board.

Wayne and Colleen Rooney, do you know the name of their first child?

-It's Kai.

-Kai Rooney.

-That would have scored you 22 points.

Gavin Henson and Charlotte Church?

-Ruby.

-Ruby. Exactly right. That would have scored you six.

And Barack and Michelle Obama, this is a pointless answer.

-Do you know it?

-No.

-It's Malia.

Malia. Very well done if you said Malia at home.

OK, well, let's take a look at the scores. We're halfway through the round.

Wayne and Michael, as so often the case, you're the lowest scorers.

Stuart and Laura, you've got a tussle on your hands.

Stuart and Greg have the lower score of 39,

Adam and Laura up there on 48

but that's where the real contest will be in this next part.

OK, can the second players please take their places at the podium?

OK, we're going to put six more famous couples on the board

and here they are.

I'll read those one more time.

Remember, we are looking for the name of their first child

and the one that the fewest of our 100 people knew.

Stuart, what are you thinking?

Erm, I'm going to go for Bob Geldof and Paula Yates' child.

I think Peaches is their eldest.

Peaches Geldof, you are saying.

The high scorers are Laura and Adam on 48. You are on 39.

If you can score 8 or less with this,

you are definitely through to the next round.

There is your red line. Get below that with Peaches

and it's peachy.

Let's see if it's correct and if it is, how many people said Peaches.

Oh!

Bad luck, Stuart.

That's an incorrect answer, which means you score 100 points,

taking your total up to 139.

-Richard?

-Yeah, I won't give the correct answer in case Laura or Michael want to have a go.

OK, thank you, Richard.

Now, then, Laura. You are on 48.

The high scorers are Stuart and Greg on 139.

If you can score 90 or less with this - 90 or less -

you are through to the head to head. What do you think?

Right, well, there's the obvious answer, Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth's child.

Everybody knows that.

I'm going to go for Elvis and Priscilla Presley

-and I'm going to say Lisa Marie Presley.

-Lisa Marie Presley.

Very well said. There is your red line, lovely high red line.

Let's hope Lisa Marie gets you down below there

and into the head to head.

Well done, Laura, well done.

-Down to 30.

-APPLAUSE

That's a very good score. It takes your total up to 78.

-Richard?

-Yes, Lisa Marie is their only child

and Elvis left his entire estate to her.

Michael, it doesn't matter what you score, you are through to the head to head come what may.

You can't overtake Stuart and Greg's high score of 139.

That's a relief, because this is one of my worst topics.

I'm going to go for Rick and Kathy Hilton and say Paris Hilton.

Paris Hilton, you're going to say.

It doesn't matter what you score, but let's see if it's right

and let's see how many people said Paris Hilton.

You're right.

Down it goes.

-Down to 22...

-APPLAUSE

..taking your total up to 35.

-Richard?

-Yeah, Paris Hilton, great-granddaughter of Conrad Hilton,

the founder of the Hilton chain.

Let's look at the rest of the board. Prince Philip and the Queen,

obviously they called their child...?

Charles, was it? Charles?

-I think it was Charles.

-Exactly right.

That would have scored you 72. Tony and Cherie Blair.

-Euan.

-Their eldest child is Euan. That would have scored 13 points.

Bob Geldof and Paula Yates' first child?

-I think it's Fifi Trixibelle.

-Exactly right. Fifi Trixibelle.

Peaches is actually their second child, just before Pixie.

Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall's first child?

-I'm going to take a punt on Elizabeth.

-That's right, or Lizzie.

That would have scored three points. That's the best answer on the board.

OK, thanks, Richard.

So at the end of round two, the losing pair, I'm afraid,

is Stuart and Greg.

Bad luck, guys.

-What were you hoping would come up, Stuart?

-Football, pop music...

films that I do watch.

-LAUGHTER

-Yeah.

-Films That I Do Watch is a very popular category.

I know all the pointless answers for that one.

Not celebrities and their firstborn.

-Second-borns we were all right on.

-LAUGHTER

Well, a real shame to be saying goodbye to you so early on.

-We will see you next time but meanwhile, thanks.

-APPLAUSE

For the remaining two pairs, things are going to get even more exciting as we enter the head to head.

APPLAUSE

So very well done, Laura and Adam, Michael and Wayne,

you've made it through to the head to head.

Only one pair can make it to the final and play for the jackpot,

which currently stands at £3,000.

CHEERING

Now, you're going to go head to head on the best of three questions.

Each question, each pair needs to give me just one answer

but you are now allowed to confer.

All you have to do is come up with an answer

that scores less than the other pair to win that question.

The pair who wins the best of three will play for today's jackpot.

Let's play Pointless.

APPLAUSE

OK, so here is your first question.

We gave 100 people 100 seconds

to name as many days of the week in French as they could.

Days of the week in French.

We're looking for the names of the days of the week in French

and there are seven possible answers.

LAUGHTER

OK, Laura and Adam, you've played best so far,

so you get to go first.

We are looking for the days of the week in French.

What are you thinking?

I think we're going to go for dimanche.

Dimanche. Michael and Wayne?

We were going to say mercredi and then dimanche popped into my head

as he said it then.

Just shortly after he said it, actually, which was strange. Er...

-So thanks a lot. So mercredi, dimanche...

-Mercredi sounds...

-I might have said it wrong or something.

-"Jaundi", is it?

-That's a liver disease, isn't it?

-Samedi?

-Samedi.

-So... You choose.

-Mercredi. Yeah, yeah.

-Mercredi.

-Mercredi.

-Mercredi.

Mercredi.

Et dimanche.

Mercredi.

I've now gone red, actually. I've embarrassed myself.

OK, Laura and Adam have gone for dimanche,

so let's put that to the test.

Laura and Adam. Dimanche. Is it correct?

Very good. 47.

What are you thinking? 47, does that seem...?

It's not as good as I thought. I'm disappointed, really.

-There are seven days.

-It's interesting to compare.

I didn't know that one, so we'll see.

OK, Michael and Wayne have gone for mercredi.

Mercredi.

THEY LAUGH

Is it right and how many people said it? Mercredi.

-Oh! There we are.

-APPLAUSE

Well done.

63. So after the first question, Laura and Adam are ahead, one-nil.

Well played, Laura and Adam. Two answers would have beaten dimanche,

and they were Thursday and Friday.

Vendredi, which is Friday, would have scored 42.

Jeudi, Thursday, was 45.

There's dimanche, Sunday, with 47.

Samedi, Saturday, 58,

mardi, Tuesday, 62

There's mercredi up the top there with 63

and lundi, top of the pile, Monday, with 68.

Thanks very much, Richard.

So, after the first question, Laura and Adam are ahead, one-nil.

Michael and Wayne, this is a position you've been in before.

-Yes.

-You have to win this question to stay in the game.

Here is your second question,

a very important one for you, Michael and Wayne.

We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many Archbishops of Canterbury as they could.

Archbishops of Canterbury, Richard.

We're looking for any of the six men, and they are all men,

who have served as Archbishop of Canterbury

since the start of Queen Elizabeth II's reign to the beginning of 2011.

Very good. Thank you, Richard.

Now, Michael and Wayne, you get to go first.

What's it going to be?

Erm... Archbishops of Canterbury.

What is the guy who invested the Queen? What was his name?

-The Archbishop of Canterbury.

-LAUGHTER

Funnily enough, I don't know.

Erm... Shall we just guess a name?

-Worth a guess.

-John. John III. I don't know. No idea.

John-John III.

OK, we have John-John III from Michael and Wayne.

It'll do. It's an answer. Laura and Adam?

I think the current Archbishop of Canterbury is Rowan Williams.

But I'm not... I'm pretty sure. I think that's it.

-OK. We'll go with that.

-We'll go with that.

-Rowan Williams.

We have John-John III and we have Rowan Williams.

John-John III, let's put it to the test.

Is it correct and if it is, how many people said John-John III?

Bad luck.

-Bad luck, Michael and Wayne.

-Who are you?

And this being the one you really had to win.

Laura and Adam have gone for Rowan Williams.

Let's see if that's actually right

and if it is, let's see how many people said it. Rowan Williams.

It only has to be correct and you are through to the final.

Yes! It's right.

Down it goes.

-14!

-APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

So after two questions,

Laura and Adam are straight through to the final, two-nil.

Bad luck, Michael and Wayne. Richard?

Let's take a look at all six answers.

Donald Coggan, who was Archbishop during the '70s, that scored three.

Geoffrey Fisher was Archbishop for the Queen's coronation.

He would have scored you five.

Michael Ramsey and George Carey both scored seven.

There's Rowan Williams, the current Archbishop, on 14

and Robert Runcie, who married Charles and Diana

and also christened Wills and Harry, he was the most well known on 21.

Very well done if you got all of those at home.

Thank you, Richard.

So the losing pair at the end of the head to head, Michael and Wayne.

-Again.

-What a very surprising position to find ourselves in.

I was convinced that on your second shot you'd go all the way.

These guys had some good knowledge, so well done and good luck to them.

Well, you've been amazing contestants in both games.

You've made it to the head to head each time

but we have to say goodbye to you.

-Thank you for playing.

-Thank you.

-APPLAUSE

But for Laura and Adam, it's time for our Pointless final

and the chance to win our jackpot of £3,000.

WHOOPING

Well, congratulations, Laura and Adam.

You've seen off the competition

and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy,

so very well done.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

I know that's what you came for.

You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.

At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at an impressive...

CHEERING

Now, the rules are very simple.

To win the money, you have to find a pointless answer

that no-one could think of.

We've had two pointless answers today. Laura, we had one from you.

-Annie Get Your Gun.

-Annie Get Your Gun.

You only need to find one more now to go home with that money.

First, you need to choose a category from these three options.

-What are you thinking?

-I'm OK with sport

and I know a bit about golf, I do watch quite a bit of golf

but it's probably not pointless knowledge.

-R&B...

-It's probably our best category.

-What, R&B?

-R&B, yeah.

-Yeah, R&B.

-Right, R&B. Good.

Well, let's find out what that question is. Here we go.

We gave 100 people 100 seconds

to name as many Jay-Z collaborations as they could.

-Jay-Z collaborations. Richard?

-Yeah, any artist or group

with whom Jay-Z is credited as collaborating on a UK top 40 single

prior to the beginning of 2011.

There are 21 answers on the list.

Any Jay-Z collaborations that have reached the UK top 40.

OK, you now have up to one minute to come up with three answers

and all you need to win that £3,000 jackpot

is for just one of those answers to be pointless.

Your 60 seconds start now.

-Do you know any at all?

-I only know Beyonce.

Yeah, the one, Crazy Right Now, I think it was called.

He did the one with Alicia Keys recently, that Alicia Keys resang.

-I don't think that'll be pointless.

-It might be worth not many.

I think he did one with Mr Hudson, I think.

-It's worth putting out there.

-Yeah. There's loads from further back

but I'm really not sure.

I'm just... Oh! Trying to...

So if we go with Beyonce, Alicia Keys and Mr Hudson.

-Maybe.

-Or can you think of any more? What about Missy Elliott?

I'm just trying to think what else he's on.

Erm... Oh...

-We'll have to go with those.

-I think we're decided.

You've got...? OK, we'll stop the clock.

OK, there we are, we've stopped the clock.

We were looking for Jay-Z collaborations.

I now need your three answers.

-OK, we'll go Beyonce.

-Beyonce.

-Alicia Keys.

-Alicia Keys.

-Alicia Keys. And Mr Hudson.

-And Mr Hudson.

Which do you think is your most confident shot at a pointless answer?

-I'd say Mr Hudson.

-As a pointless answer, yeah.

OK, Mr Hudson, we'll put that last.

-The least likely, I'd say, Alicia Keys.

-Alicia Keys.

OK, let's put those answers up on the board

in your prescribed order.

Here they are.

There they are. OK, well, this was your least confident answer.

Alicia Keys. You only need to find one pointless answer

to win that £3,000 jackpot.

So let's see how many people said Alicia Keys.

It's right.

This has to go all the way down to zero

if you're going to win that jackpot with your first shot.

Down it goes into the teens...

-Ooh! 12.

-APPLAUSE

You said that was your least confident answer.

It's not a pointless answer.

You only have two more chances to win today's jackpot.

What would you do with £3,000?

With £1,500 each, I'd have driving lessons and a car, I'd imagine.

-Adam?

-My car's in serious need of repair,

so a few minor, well, a few things here and there...

-There's a bollard-shaped dent...

-Yeah, a bollard-shaped dent.

Flat tyres and that's easy to fix but there's a lot wrong with it.

Right, OK, very good.

OK, well, we are looking for Jay-Z collaborations.

This is your second answer.

You had more faith in this answer than in the previous one to be pointless.

Let's hope nobody said Beyonce.

This has to be pointless to win that jackpot.

Let's see if it's correct and if it is, how many people said Beyonce.

It is right.

You scored 12 for Alicia Keys.

You were more confident about this answer.

This has to go all the way down.

-Oh, 26.

-APPLAUSE

That's gone in the reverse direction, which...

will be one of the gears you'll be learning about, Laura.

So here we are. It's all riding on Mr Hudson.

How confident are you feeling now?

-Self-doubt's crept in now.

-I've never heard of him, so we'll see.

Do you know what song they sang?

That's what's making me doubt myself. I can't remember the song.

-He's made it up, hasn't he?

-I've just made him up.

So you said Mr Hudson.

Well, let's see if he exists

and if he does, let's see if he has collaborated with Jay-Z

and if he has, let's see if anyone remembered him. Mr Hudson.

Very well done. It's a correct answer.

You scored 12 for Alicia Keys. Let's see if this is pointless.

Down he goes, Mr Hudson...

-Yes!

-CHEERING

Very, very well done.

Very well done indeed. That's fantastic.

That's brilliant.

Many, many congratulations.

You managed to find that all-important pointless answer,

which means you'll be leaving here with that jackpot of £3,000.

-Very well done.

-CHEERING

Wow.

Wow, so Mr Hudson, you just pulled him out the bag.

-I've never heard of him.

-I need to buy his album so I can play it.

Yeah.

I still can't remember what the song was called.

Well, we'd better find out and you'd better go listen to it immediately.

-Richard, how's that?

-Very, very good, Adam.

First Rowan Williams, then Mr Hudson, very good breadth of knowledge.

The collaboration they did was Young Forever...

-Yeah, that's...

-..a version of Alphaville's Forever Young.

A very, very good song and a very, very good answer and £3,000.

Let's take a look at some of the other pointless answers.

Another Level, the old UK boy band, they collaborated with him.

Blackstreet, Foxy Brown,

Ja Rule, Mariah Carey, Mary J Blige.

There's Mr Hudson, Panjabi MC and Pharrell Williams.

Very well done if you got any of those at home.

Well, thanks once again to our winning players, Laura and Adam,

who go away with today's jackpot of £3,000.

APPLAUSE

Join us next time, when we put more obscure knowledge to the test.

-Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.

-Goodbye.

-And from me. Goodbye.

APPLAUSE
