0:00:20 > 0:00:22CHEERING
0:00:22 > 0:00:25Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong,
0:00:25 > 0:00:27and a very warm welcome to Pointless,
0:00:27 > 0:00:30the quiz show where popular answers mean nothing
0:00:30 > 0:00:35and obscure answers mean everything. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40And first we welcome Keith and Steven.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43You're our first pair today. How do you two know each other?
0:00:43 > 0:00:45We've known each other about 20 years.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48We first met when we were about seven years old
0:00:48 > 0:00:51at our local chapel hall for Boys' Brigade,
0:00:51 > 0:00:54- so been best friends ever since. - Best friends ever since!
0:00:54 > 0:00:57- What do you do?- I work for the fire service in the control room,
0:00:57 > 0:01:00answering 999 calls, send crews out to the incidents.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03What's the most ridiculous 999 call you've ever had to answer?
0:01:03 > 0:01:04We get a few cats stuck up trees.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07- But that's normal. - It does still happen.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11You're allowed to ask the Fire Brigade, but maybe not on the emergency number.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14- That's what we advise them to do. - Steven, what about you?
0:01:14 > 0:01:17I'm a sales rep selling crisps...
0:01:17 > 0:01:20- Ah!- ..in the East Midlands area.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24It's like working in a chocolate factory. Do you find yourself going...
0:01:24 > 0:01:26- all the time?- Pretty much, yeah.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28Are you ever without a bag of crisps?
0:01:28 > 0:01:30- Never.- Never.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32- Apart from now.- That's such a shame!
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Well, very best of luck to the pair of you.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39Next we welcome Andy and Kelly. How do you two know each other?
0:01:39 > 0:01:42We've been together six years,
0:01:42 > 0:01:44but we've been married five and a half years.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48- You got married after just half a year?- Yeah. Bit of a whirlwind.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52- Shot up to Gretna Green.- You did? You went up and did it in style?
0:01:52 > 0:01:54- We did.- Very well done.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56- Kelly, what do you do? - I've got a cleaning business.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59I've been doing that for about a year now,
0:01:59 > 0:02:02and I run it alongside Andy's cleaning business.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05On the same house at the same time?
0:02:05 > 0:02:07- No. - SHE LAUGHS
0:02:07 > 0:02:11Why not put them together, have just one cleaning business?
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Andy's outdoors. I'm more of an indoors.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16That seems complementary! A lot of houses have both.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19- THEY LAUGH - Um, how extraordinary!
0:02:19 > 0:02:23What categories would you like to see come up this afternoon?
0:02:23 > 0:02:26For me, true crime. I'm really into true crime.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29True crime! Like, do you read all those books?
0:02:29 > 0:02:32- Yeah.- Right. How about you, Andy?
0:02:32 > 0:02:35- Possibly '90s films. - '90s films?- Yeah.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37OK. Good to be specific. Good to know.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40- Eddie Murphy films. - Eddie Murphy films?- Yeah!
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Talking about true crimes!
0:02:43 > 0:02:45THEY LAUGH
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Very good. Well, very best of luck to the pair of you.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51And next we welcome John and Yvonne. Now, where are you two from?
0:02:51 > 0:02:54- We're from Lancing in West Sussex. - John, what do you do?
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Well, bit spooky - I'm a true-crime writer.
0:02:57 > 0:03:01- I write books on true crime. - How do you get all these things out of your head?
0:03:01 > 0:03:04I've got a very strange head, so I keep them in there.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08I think it's a very fine head. What do you do in your spare time, Yvonne?
0:03:08 > 0:03:12- We...- True crime! - Well, not quite true crime.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14- We do murder-mystery weekends. - Pretend crime!
0:03:14 > 0:03:17But on the same theme - death!
0:03:17 > 0:03:20So you go off... John writes murder stories by day.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23He collates the facts of true crimes,
0:03:23 > 0:03:25and at weekends, you go and re-enact them?
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Well, not the ones that he's actually written about,
0:03:28 > 0:03:30but made-up ones. But don't tell anyone.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34- Do you devise the weekends, then? - Some of them we have done,
0:03:34 > 0:03:37but the ones we're doing at the moment are by somebody else.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41- We just have to act in them. - That sounds too funny for words.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44Very best of luck to the pair of you. It's great to have you here.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Finally we welcome back Stuart and Greg. You were on last time.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Everyone gets two chances to reach the final.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53This is your second chance. Remind us how you did.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56We went out in the second round with a wrong answer
0:03:56 > 0:03:59- on the children of celebrities. - That was a very tough round, that.
0:03:59 > 0:04:04Very, very tough. I have a feeling we're going to see a lot more of you
0:04:04 > 0:04:07this time round, and I hope the questions will suit you better.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11Very best of luck. We'll find out more about all of you throughout the show.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15There's only one person left for me to introduce. He is the ringmaster
0:04:15 > 0:04:17in the circus of unusual facts and figures...
0:04:17 > 0:04:19This is just getting ridiculous.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22He is my Pointless friend. He's Richard,
0:04:22 > 0:04:25- ringmaster.- Hiya. APPLAUSE
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Hello.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29APPLAUSE
0:04:31 > 0:04:34So, what kind of a show have we got this afternoon?
0:04:34 > 0:04:37We've only got one returning pair today. That's Stuart and Greg.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39But they were very good last time,
0:04:39 > 0:04:41and I suspect they may go further today.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45Everybody else is a killer, or obsessed with killers,
0:04:45 > 0:04:49or trying to catch killers, or trying to put out fires started by killers -
0:04:49 > 0:04:52- the whole thing is maca-brah! - The whole thing is "macabre",
0:04:52 > 0:04:56- isn't it? - Is that how you pronounce that word?
0:04:56 > 0:04:59- It is.- Sounded like it had one too many syllables in.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01No, it's "maca-brrrh".
0:05:01 > 0:05:03- LAUGHTER - Thanks, Richard.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06We put all our questions to 100 people before the show,
0:05:06 > 0:05:09but this is Pointless, so we're after the obscure answers they didn't get.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13What everyone's trying to do is to find a pointless answer,
0:05:13 > 0:05:15an answer none of our 100 people gave,
0:05:15 > 0:05:18and each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Laura and Adam won the jackpot last time,
0:05:21 > 0:05:24so the jackpot today starts off at £1,000.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26APPLAUSE
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Right! Let's play Pointless.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40In the first round, each of you must give me one answer,
0:05:40 > 0:05:43and you cannot confer with your partner.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46The team has the highest score at the end of the round is eliminated.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49OK. Our first category this afternoon is...
0:05:50 > 0:05:52..music!
0:05:52 > 0:05:56Can you all decide in your pairs who's going first and second?
0:05:56 > 0:05:58THEY WHISPER
0:05:58 > 0:06:01And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06OK. Let's find out what the question is.
0:06:06 > 0:06:11We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many Madness singles
0:06:11 > 0:06:13as they could.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Madness singles. Richard?
0:06:15 > 0:06:19Yeah. Every 40-something in the country is rolling up their sleeves.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23"Finally, a topic for me!" We're looking for any single released by Madness,
0:06:23 > 0:06:26or which featured them, to reach the top 40 of the UK chart
0:06:26 > 0:06:29up to the beginning of 2011.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32If something's a double A side, we'll accept either answer,
0:06:32 > 0:06:36but we're not looking for EPs or any of Suggs' solo singles.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Easy for you to say! There are 27 possible answers
0:06:39 > 0:06:42on the list, so very best of luck, everybody.
0:06:42 > 0:06:47Keith and Steven, you drew lots before the show, and this afternoon you get to go first.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50So, then, Keith...
0:06:50 > 0:06:52A Madness fan?
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Sadly not. Um... I do like the music.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Sadly, I can't think of too many of the songs.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59I've only got a couple going round in my head.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Do you like music? Is music one of your...
0:07:02 > 0:07:05I am quite a music fan. Not a sort of...a wide knowledge.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09I've got a reasonable knowledge. Sadly not on Madness singles, though.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- Aha!- I do know one, however.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15I'm going to go for Baggy Trousers.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Baggy Trousers. Very well said, Keith.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21You're hoping to score as few points as possible with that.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25Let's see if it's correct, and if it is, how many people out of our 100 said it.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Very well done.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35- 39. - APPLAUSE
0:07:36 > 0:07:40Not a terrible score by any means, Keith. 39, Richard.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43Well done, Keith. It was a number-three single in 1980.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46- OK. Kelly?- Um...
0:07:46 > 0:07:48- Kelly!- I can think of two.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Well, I hope they're Madness singles, anyway.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Um, the one that I think...
0:07:53 > 0:07:59might get the lowest is... It Must Be Love.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02It Must Be Love. The one that might get the lowest of the two in your mind?
0:08:02 > 0:08:04- Yeah. - Right you are. It Must Be Love.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08Let's see if that's correct, and if it is, how many people said it.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13It's right.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Wow!
0:08:18 > 0:08:20APPLAUSE
0:08:20 > 0:08:2323! Very well done, Kelly.
0:08:23 > 0:08:2523. It's a lower score than Baggy Trousers.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27- That's curious, I think. - Do you think?
0:08:27 > 0:08:30I think Baggy Trousers is slightly better known, maybe.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34Maybe, but It Must Be Love is in film soundtracks and things.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37It is. It's a cover version of a Labi Siffre song.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41- In 1981 Madness had a hit with it. - Very good. OK, thanks, Richard.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Now, Yvonne, remember we are looking for Madness singles.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48When the question came up, I thought I only knew one answer,
0:08:48 > 0:08:50but then Keith gave up Baggy Trousers,
0:08:50 > 0:08:52and I thought, "Oh, I knew that one as well."
0:08:52 > 0:08:55I think this is a Madness song. I'm not sure.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57I'm going to go for...
0:08:57 > 0:09:01possibly "Welcome To" in brackets, the House Of Fun.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05You're hoping to score as few points as possible with this.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08Let's see if House Of Fun is a correct answer,
0:09:08 > 0:09:12and if it is, let's see how many people said it. House Of Fun.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14It's right.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17Very well done, Yvonne. It's right, and down it comes.
0:09:17 > 0:09:1929!
0:09:19 > 0:09:22- APPLAUSE - Oh!
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Nice medium score there. House Of Fun, Richard.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30Yeah. Their first number one, House Of Fun, from 1982.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33Very good indeed. Thanks, Richard. So, then, Greg,
0:09:33 > 0:09:37- Madness.- I've seen Madness a couple of times in the last few years,
0:09:37 > 0:09:40- both at Glastonbury. - Very good. Are you a fan?
0:09:40 > 0:09:42I am quite a fan, yeah. Good band.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45So I'm going to go for one of their singles
0:09:45 > 0:09:47which I think is one of their later ones,
0:09:47 > 0:09:49called NW5.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53NW5. Very well said, Greg.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56Well, you're hoping to score as few points as possible.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00Let's see if it's a correct answer, NW5. I have a hunch it must be,
0:10:00 > 0:10:03and it will be going a long way down if it is.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06Let's see. NW5. Is it right? How many people said it?
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Well done.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Very, very well done, Greg!
0:10:18 > 0:10:20CHEERING
0:10:21 > 0:10:25That's fantastic. That's pointless. It adds 250 quid to today's jackpot,
0:10:25 > 0:10:28taking the total up to £1,250,
0:10:28 > 0:10:31and it scores you nothing. Very well done.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34- NW5, Richard!- Brilliant answer, Greg. Very well played.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38As you say, it's one they released after they re-formed, 2008.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42Reached number 24. And NW5 is where they're from, of course.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45We're halfway through the round. Let's look at the scores
0:10:45 > 0:10:48as they stand. Greg's brilliant answer just then, NW5,
0:10:48 > 0:10:52earning him quite justly a pointless answer,
0:10:52 > 0:10:57no score at all on the board. Then we go up to Kelly's answer, 23.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Not bad. Yvonne, 29, and then Keith.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04Turned out to be quite a costly one, that Baggy Trousers. 39.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Quite a high score.
0:11:06 > 0:11:11Right. Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:11:12 > 0:11:15OK. So, Stuart, we are looking for Madness singles.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19As we discovered last time, you work for PPL.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22You collect royalties for the music industry.
0:11:22 > 0:11:29So I can't help thinking this is a subject you must know in your sleep!
0:11:29 > 0:11:32- Yeah. Well...- Madness singles.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35I'd probably get a bit of stick back at work
0:11:35 > 0:11:38- if I get this one wrong, I would've thought.- Yeah.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42I'm going to go for Our House.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Our House. OK.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47There is your red line. If you get below that red line,
0:11:47 > 0:11:51you're through to the next round. Let's see if Our House is correct,
0:11:51 > 0:11:55and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:11:55 > 0:11:56It's correct!
0:11:59 > 0:12:02Ooh! 41 for Our House.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04APPLAUSE
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Takes your score up to 41.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11- Richard?- Yeah. Very big score. So, they're from NW5,
0:12:11 > 0:12:15which was nothing, but more specifically they're from Our House, which scored a lot.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18It was right in the middle of... I forget which street.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21- In the middle of THEIR street, I think it was.- Oh.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25It was a number-five hit from 1982, a big hit in America as well.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Right. Thanks very much, Richard.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30OK, now, John. Remember we are looking for Madness singles.
0:12:30 > 0:12:35You are on 29. The high scorers currently are Stuart and Greg on 41,
0:12:35 > 0:12:41which means if you can score 11 or less with this, you are through to the next round.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43The only answers I knew have already gone,
0:12:43 > 0:12:46so we could be in for a fairly high score here.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50- Here's fun!- I'm going to say - complete guess, stab in the dark,
0:12:50 > 0:12:52- My Boy.- My Boy.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55There is your red line. If you can get below that red line
0:12:55 > 0:12:58with My Boy, you are through to the next round.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01- What do you think, Yvonne? - I think it was very nice to be here,
0:13:01 > 0:13:03and we'll see you again.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05LAUGHTER
0:13:05 > 0:13:08It ain't over yet, Yvonne. My Boy. OK. Let's see if it's right,
0:13:08 > 0:13:10and if it is, how many people said it.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17What a surprise!
0:13:17 > 0:13:20Bad luck, John. My Boy is an incorrect answer.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22That scores you a maximum of 100 points.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Takes your total up to 129. Richard?
0:13:25 > 0:13:28Sorry, John. I will detail the reasons why that's wrong
0:13:28 > 0:13:32at the end of the round. So that's something to look forward to.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36Now, Andy, you are on 23. Doesn't matter what you come up with now.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39You are still through to the next round,
0:13:39 > 0:13:42so now might be a perfect time to have a punt on a pointless answer.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45We've had one pointless answer with NW5.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48I reckon there will be other pointless Madness singles out there.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52- Certainly not going to give you a pointless answer.- Oh!
0:13:52 > 0:13:55Three and a possible four that's already been said.
0:13:55 > 0:13:59I've got one which I think may be. If it's not Madness,
0:13:59 > 0:14:01someone sung it,
0:14:01 > 0:14:03so we'll go for it.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05The Joker.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07- The Joker.- Yeah.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10Doesn't matter what you score, you are through to the next round,
0:14:10 > 0:14:14so is it correct, and how many people said it? The Joker.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20Bad luck, Andy.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22- Someone sung it. - HE LAUGHS
0:14:22 > 0:14:25That scores you 100 points, takes your total up to 123.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Maybe Richard can tell us who sung it.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30Yes. It was the Steve Miller Band did The Joker,
0:14:30 > 0:14:34and of course his brothers, Ed and David, later went into politics.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36THEY LAUGH
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Now, then, Steven,
0:14:40 > 0:14:45- remember we are looking for Madness singles.- Yeah. - A lot is riding on you here.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49If you score 100 points, you'll be leaving us at the end of this round,
0:14:49 > 0:14:52so I'm hoping you have something up your sleeve
0:14:52 > 0:14:54that is a Madness single.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56If you can score 89 or less,
0:14:56 > 0:14:59you are safely through to the next round.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02Right. Struggling with it. Been racking my brains.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05All the popular ones I know have actually gone.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08I'm going to have to take a bit of a punt. I've got one.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11The only thing is, I'm not sure if it's Suggs or Madness.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14It's either going to get us there or score 100, I'm afraid,
0:15:14 > 0:15:17- and my answer is Camden Town. - Camden Town.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19OK. Well, let's see if Camden Town is right,
0:15:19 > 0:15:22and if it is, how many people said it.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26There's your red line. If you get below it, you're through to the next round. Good luck.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Oh! Bad luck, Steven!
0:15:31 > 0:15:34That is an incorrect answer, unfortunately,
0:15:34 > 0:15:37which means you score the maximum of 100 points,
0:15:37 > 0:15:40taking your total to 139.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43That's a last-minute reprieve for John and Yvonne.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46- Whoa! Camden Town, Richard. - Steven, that's so unlucky.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49You're right. It was a hit for Suggs, Camden Town.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53There were a lot of Madness songs set in and around Camden town,
0:15:53 > 0:15:57but, no, that's a real shame. There's a huge amount of answers
0:15:57 > 0:16:00left out there, as well, a number of which are pointless,
0:16:00 > 0:16:03so let's take a look at those. (Waiting For) The Ghost Train,
0:16:03 > 0:16:06Lovestruck, which was the first single they came back with
0:16:06 > 0:16:09when they re-formed. NW5 we've already had from Greg.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13We've got One Better Day, Shame And Scandal, Sorry.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16These are all pointless answers. The Return Of The Los Palmas Seven,
0:16:16 > 0:16:19one of the early instrumentals. It was a top-ten hit,
0:16:19 > 0:16:22as was Tomorrow's (Just Another Day) and Yesterday's Men.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25Very well done if you got any of those at home.
0:16:25 > 0:16:30There's all sorts of things we missed out - Driving In My Car, all sorts.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32And, John, when you said My Boy,
0:16:32 > 0:16:34they actually had a big hit with My Girl.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37THEY LAUGH
0:16:37 > 0:16:40And that song was then released by Tracy Ullman as My Guy,
0:16:40 > 0:16:43but you weren't a million miles away from a correct answer there.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47OK. Thanks, Richard. At the end of round one, the losing pair
0:16:47 > 0:16:50with the highest score - I'm sorry, Steven and Keith. It's you.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53Dear, oh, dear! Camden Town.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57You see, it's just the sort of song Madness would've sung.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00I knew it was touch and go whether it was Suggs or Madness,
0:17:00 > 0:17:03- so had to go for it. - Yeah, that was really tough.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05What category would you have liked to come up, Steve?
0:17:05 > 0:17:08Sport, football in particular. That would've been good.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12- Keith?- Probably film, words,
0:17:12 > 0:17:15any other sort of music other than Madness singles, possibly!
0:17:15 > 0:17:19Dear! Well, it's such a shame to say goodbye to you so early on,
0:17:19 > 0:17:21but we will see you again next time,
0:17:21 > 0:17:25when I'm sure you will be better served by the category we give you.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28Thanks so much for playing meanwhile.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31CHEERING
0:17:31 > 0:17:34For the remaining three pairs, it's now time for round two.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44Only two pairs can make it through to the head-to-head,
0:17:44 > 0:17:47so one will leave after this round. Make sure it's not you.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50Our category for round two this afternoon is...
0:17:50 > 0:17:52famous women.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55You will decide in your pairs who's going to go first and second.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06OK, our round-two question concerns...
0:18:06 > 0:18:09famous Annes.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12We're about to show you some descriptions of famous people
0:18:12 > 0:18:14who share the first name Anne.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18We asked 100 people to tell us their surnames. Richard?
0:18:18 > 0:18:21We're going to show you six descriptions in each pass.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24Each of them gives a clue to an Anne, an Annie or an Anna.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27The more obscure the answer, the fewer points you'll score.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30An incorrect answer will score 100 points.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32See how many of the 12 you can get at home.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36OK, thanks, Richard. So, we are looking for the surnames of these famous Annes.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38All right? And we have got...
0:19:08 > 0:19:11So, Andy, there are our famous Annes.
0:19:11 > 0:19:16See if you can find the most obscure one on that board you can.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19Right. I know three of them.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22There's not really much you can do to prepare for this.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25I don't think it's obscure. I don't think it would be the highest.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29- The wife of Henry VIII... - OK.- Anne Boleyn.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33OK. Anne Boleyn, we have from Andy.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36There she is right at the top. Second wife of Henry VIII.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people knew it.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Anne Boleyn.
0:19:44 > 0:19:45It's right!
0:19:47 > 0:19:4855.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50APPLAUSE
0:19:53 > 0:19:56- 55 for Anne Boleyn, Richard. - Yes. Either Anne Boleyn
0:19:56 > 0:20:00or Anne of Cleves, which I guess is what the others thought.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03She was, of course, executed by Henry VIII.
0:20:03 > 0:20:08OK. Now, then, Yvonne... Yvonne, Annes.
0:20:08 > 0:20:13There they are. How many of those do you think you might know?
0:20:13 > 0:20:16I think I might know three,
0:20:16 > 0:20:19which is better than the Madness songs.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22Um, the one I'm going to go for,
0:20:22 > 0:20:25which I think might be more obscure than the other two I know,
0:20:25 > 0:20:28is the American markswomen, which is Annie Oakley.
0:20:28 > 0:20:32Annie Oakley. Annie Oakley, you are saying.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35OK. That sounds like a nice obscure one to me.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39Let's hope it's right, and if it is, how many people said it.
0:20:39 > 0:20:40Annie Oakley.
0:20:40 > 0:20:45Very good! Well done, Yvonne. I think this will be a low scorer.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48Down it comes. 31!
0:20:51 > 0:20:55Not quite as low as I was expecting, but that's a respectable score.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57- Annie Oakley, Richard. - Yeah, well played, Yvonne.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01Annie Oakley, of course, is the subject of Annie, Get Your Gun.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05But now we come to Greg. Remember we are looking for the surnames
0:21:05 > 0:21:09of these famous Annes. Greg, you're the last person to have this board,
0:21:09 > 0:21:12so you can talk us through all these famous Annes.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15Well, I think I know three of them.
0:21:15 > 0:21:16I'm torn between two at the moment.
0:21:16 > 0:21:20A famous Anne author, though I don't know if she wrote Agnes Grey,
0:21:20 > 0:21:23I can think of Anne Bronte, though I'm not 100 percent certain.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26I think the presenter of the Weakest Link is Anne Robinson,
0:21:26 > 0:21:29but I think that's going to be fairly high scoring.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31I haven't got a clue about the photographer.
0:21:31 > 0:21:36Um, I think the wife of William Shakespeare is Anne Hathaway,
0:21:36 > 0:21:39- so I'm going to go for that. - Anne Hathaway. John is nodding.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42Yvonne nodding, as well. Is that one of the ones you knew?
0:21:42 > 0:21:45Right. Anne Hathaway.
0:21:45 > 0:21:46OK. Well, let's see if it's right,
0:21:46 > 0:21:50and if it is, let's see how many people knew Anne Hathaway.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54It's correct!
0:21:56 > 0:21:5838.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01Not a bad score at all, Greg. Very well done.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05- Anne Hathaway, Richard. - Well done, Greg.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09Also very wise to avoid the presenter of the Weakest Link.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12It would've scored you a hefty 65 points.
0:22:12 > 0:22:13Anne Robinson, of course.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16And you were right that the author of Agnes Grey is Anne Bronte.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20It would have been a much better score, just eight points.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22- The best score on the board... - Annie Leibovitz.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26Annie Leibovitz, exactly. Five points. Best answer on there.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29Thank you, Richard. We're halfway through the round.
0:22:29 > 0:22:34Let's take a look at the scores. Well, Yvonne, best score of the lot.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37Now, then, we come up to 38. That's Greg's score.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40Not a bad score, as it turns out, for Anne Hathaway.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44Andy, 55. That was quite an expensive one, the Anne Boleyn one,
0:22:44 > 0:22:48so Kelly and Stuart, you're the two people who'll be battling it out
0:22:48 > 0:22:51to stay in the game. Very best of luck to the pair of you.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:22:57 > 0:23:02OK. We're going to put six more famous Annes on the board.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Here they are.
0:23:37 > 0:23:43We are looking for their surnames. You're trying to find the one the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46Good luck, Stuart. Tell me what that board says to you, Stuart.
0:23:46 > 0:23:50There's a couple up there that I think I could go for.
0:23:50 > 0:23:54Um, I suppose, though, keeping the music theme going,
0:23:54 > 0:23:56I should go for the music one,
0:23:56 > 0:24:00so I'm going to go for the lead singer of the Eurythmics,
0:24:00 > 0:24:03- and say Annie Lennox.- Annie Lennox, lead singer of the Eurythmics.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06OK, let's see. Here's your red line coming in.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09If Annie Lennox can get you below that red line,
0:24:09 > 0:24:11you are definitely in the next round.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13Let's see if it's right, and if it is,
0:24:13 > 0:24:17let's see how many people knew Annie Lennox from the Eurythmics.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22Well, it's right.
0:24:22 > 0:24:2460!
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Ooh, that's a big score.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32Stuart, that scores you 60 and takes your total up to 98.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35- Richard?- Yeah. She's been very popular for a long time.
0:24:35 > 0:24:39She studied flute at the Royal Academy of Music for three years.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41Hmm! Now, then, John,
0:24:41 > 0:24:46remember we are looking for the surnames of these famous Annes.
0:24:46 > 0:24:47What are you thinking of this board?
0:24:47 > 0:24:50Much better than the last idea, Madness.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53There are about three I know.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56It's just a question of which one I think will score lowest.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58I'm going to go, I think, for...
0:24:58 > 0:25:02played Mrs Robinson in The Graduate, Anne Bancroft.
0:25:02 > 0:25:03Anne Bancroft.
0:25:03 > 0:25:08Very good. Yvonne is thrilled with that answer, I can tell you now.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10- Beyond thrilled. - LAUGHTER
0:25:10 > 0:25:14- Phew!- There is your red line. If you get below that red line,
0:25:14 > 0:25:19Anne Bancroft will be seeing you into the head-to-head.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Let's see if it's right, and if it is,
0:25:21 > 0:25:24let's see how many people said Anne Bancroft.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28Very well done.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31Down it goes still. 23!
0:25:31 > 0:25:35Very good answer. 23 takes your total up to 54.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40- Richard, Anne Bancroft. - Yeah. Well played, John.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43She was married to Mel Brooks for over 40 years, Anne Bancroft.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46Very good. Thanks, Richard.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50So, Kelly... Now, then, Kelly,
0:25:50 > 0:25:53it all stands or falls on your answer here.
0:25:53 > 0:25:58If you can score 42 or less, we say goodbye to Stuart and Greg.
0:25:58 > 0:26:03If you score more than 42, we will be saying goodbye to you and Andy.
0:26:03 > 0:26:07I knew both of those. The Graduate is one of my dad's favourite films,
0:26:07 > 0:26:10and the Eurythmics is one of my dad's favourite groups,
0:26:10 > 0:26:14but I still know two, um, I think.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16What's your dad's favourite pudding?
0:26:16 > 0:26:18THEY LAUGH
0:26:18 > 0:26:22- Um...- Talk us through the board. You're the last person to have it,
0:26:22 > 0:26:26- so you can.- I think the Russian Wimbledon singles semi-finalist
0:26:26 > 0:26:27was Anna Kournikova,
0:26:27 > 0:26:34and I know that Anne Diamond hosted with Nick Owen on Good Morning.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37Um, but it's which one's the lowest,
0:26:37 > 0:26:41- and I'm going to go for Anne Diamond.- Anne Diamond,
0:26:41 > 0:26:46hosting Good Morning with Nick Owen. OK. Here comes your red line.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49If you get below that red line with Anne Diamond,
0:26:49 > 0:26:53you are through to the head-to-head. Above that red line,
0:26:53 > 0:26:56we say goodbye to you, and Stuart and Greg remain with us.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00Let's see if that's right, and how many people said Anne Diamond.
0:27:01 > 0:27:02It's right!
0:27:05 > 0:27:07Oh! You're through, just.
0:27:09 > 0:27:1336 points. That score should take your total up to 91.
0:27:15 > 0:27:19- Richard.- Well played, Kelly. Did over 600 shows between them
0:27:19 > 0:27:23in four years. Anne Diamond currently to be found on Radio Berkshire.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25Let's take a look at the rest of them.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28You were quite right. Anna Kournikova is the tennis player there.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31That's just about the most impressive thing she did.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33She's very well known. 21 points.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35The ballerina is, of course, Anna Pavlova.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37That would have scored you 35,
0:27:37 > 0:27:41though the bottom one is the best answer on the board.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43Is it Annie Proulx?
0:27:43 > 0:27:47It's not, actually. It's Anne Rice. It would have scored you ten points,
0:27:47 > 0:27:49so very well done if you got Anne Rice.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51Thanks, Richard. At the end of round two,
0:27:51 > 0:27:55the losing pair with the highest score -
0:27:55 > 0:27:58It's round two again! Stuart and Greg.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00Oh, dear, oh, dear. I'm so sorry.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03That was, er... That was a tough one, the Annes.
0:28:03 > 0:28:07- Stuarts would have been better, or Gregs.- Stuarts or Gregs!
0:28:07 > 0:28:10Sorry to say goodbye, but you've been great contestants.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12- Thanks for playing. - APPLAUSE
0:28:15 > 0:28:21For the remaining two pairs, things are going to get even more exciting as we enter the head-to-head.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30So, very well done, John and Yvonne, Andy and Kelly.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32You made it through to the head-to-head.
0:28:32 > 0:28:36One pair will be making it through to the final and playing for today's jackpot,
0:28:36 > 0:28:40which currently stands at £1,250.
0:28:44 > 0:28:48You're going to go head-to-head on the best of three questions.
0:28:48 > 0:28:51For each question, each pair needs to give me just one answer,
0:28:51 > 0:28:54but you are now allowed to confer.
0:28:54 > 0:28:59All you have to do is come up with an answer that scores less than the other pair to win that question.
0:28:59 > 0:29:03The pair who get the best of three will play for today's jackpot.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05Let's play Pointless.
0:29:09 > 0:29:13OK. Here is your first question. We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:29:13 > 0:29:17to name as many men who have walked on the moon as they could.
0:29:17 > 0:29:21Men who have walked on the moon, Richard.
0:29:21 > 0:29:26We're looking for any of the 12 men who have walked on the moon as up to the start of 2011.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29OK. John and Yvonne, because you've played best so far,
0:29:29 > 0:29:35you get to go first. We are looking for men who have walked on the moon.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40THEY WHISPER
0:29:40 > 0:29:42OK.
0:29:42 > 0:29:46- OK.- OK. You have an answer.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49I think most people come up with the first man who did it,
0:29:49 > 0:29:52- so we'll go for the second, Buzz Aldrin.- Buzz Aldrin.
0:29:53 > 0:29:56OK. Buzz Aldrin, say John and Yvonne.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58Andy and Kelly?
0:29:58 > 0:30:01Um, that was actually my answer.
0:30:01 > 0:30:03Well, that was one or the other.
0:30:03 > 0:30:07One is the obvious, which is going to be higher,
0:30:07 > 0:30:10- Neil Armstrong. - Do you know any more?
0:30:12 > 0:30:14Er...Neil Armstrong.
0:30:14 > 0:30:18So we have Buzz Aldrin, we have Neil Armstrong.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21Let's put them up in the order they were given.
0:30:21 > 0:30:26John and Yvonne said Buzz Aldrin. Let's see if it's right, and if it is, how many people said it.
0:30:31 > 0:30:3243.
0:30:37 > 0:30:4143 for Buzz Aldrin. Andy and Kelly have gone for Neil Armstrong.
0:30:41 > 0:30:45Let's see if it's right, and if it is, how many people said that.
0:30:49 > 0:30:5171.
0:30:51 > 0:30:52APPLAUSE
0:30:54 > 0:30:58OK. So, after the first question, it is 1-0 to John and Yvonne.
0:30:58 > 0:31:02- Richard?- Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin a lot of people said.
0:31:02 > 0:31:05It's a good quiz question, who was the third man to walk on the moon.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07It's a great quiz question.
0:31:07 > 0:31:11- Pete Conrad was the answer. - What a poor man!
0:31:11 > 0:31:15Neither remembered as the first, nor has he given his name to a popular child's toy
0:31:15 > 0:31:19- and film character.- Anyway, let's take a look at the 12 people
0:31:19 > 0:31:22who have walked on the moon. I heard you say Gene Cernan,
0:31:22 > 0:31:26but you wouldn't go for it. It would have scored you one point.
0:31:26 > 0:31:30John Young, Harrison Schmitt and Alan Bean
0:31:30 > 0:31:33also would have scored one point. David Scott and Charlie Duke, two.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37Edgar Mitchell also two, Jim Irwin three.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40There's Pete Conrad, third man on the moon, with five.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43Alan Shepard eight, and there's Buzz Aldrin, 43,
0:31:43 > 0:31:45and Neil Armstrong, 71, right at the top.
0:31:45 > 0:31:49Thanks very much, Richard. Here is your second question.
0:31:49 > 0:31:53Andy and Kelly, you have to get this point.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55If John and Yvonne win this question,
0:31:55 > 0:31:58they are through to the final. We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:31:58 > 0:32:03to name as many South Park characters as they could.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06We're looking for any of the six characters
0:32:06 > 0:32:10who've appeared in over 100 episodes up to the beginning of 2011.
0:32:10 > 0:32:14Thanks very much. Andy and Kelly.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17The only one I can think of...
0:32:17 > 0:32:20is Kenny.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22Kenny?
0:32:22 > 0:32:24Yeah.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26OK. You're going to say Kenny.
0:32:26 > 0:32:30John and Yvonne, South Park characters.
0:32:30 > 0:32:33The only one we can think of is Kenny.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35LAUGHTER
0:32:35 > 0:32:37Obviously great South Park fans.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39What about Gus? That sounds like an American name.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42- An American name, yes.- Gus.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44OK. We have Kenny, we have Gus.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47Andy and Kelly have said Kenny. Let's see if it's right,
0:32:47 > 0:32:50and if it is, how many people said Kenny.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53It's right!
0:32:56 > 0:32:5747.
0:33:03 > 0:33:0747. John and Yvonne have said Gus. Let's see if it's right,
0:33:07 > 0:33:10and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15Oh!
0:33:15 > 0:33:19Bad luck, bad luck. Andy and Kelly win that point.
0:33:19 > 0:33:23So, after two questions, it is one-all. Richard?
0:33:23 > 0:33:25Yeah, Kenny. Good answer for all true-crime fans,
0:33:25 > 0:33:29because he's killed in almost every episode of the first five series.
0:33:29 > 0:33:33Let's look at all six. There is a pointless answer here, actually -
0:33:33 > 0:33:36Sheila Broflovski, so well done if you said that at home. Pointless answer.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39There's Stan with ten. Kyle Broflovski with 16,
0:33:39 > 0:33:42Chef, 21,
0:33:42 > 0:33:46Eric Cartman, 30, and Kenny right up at the top there with 47.
0:33:46 > 0:33:50OK. Thanks very much, Richard. Here is your third question.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52Whoever wins this question - in your case, Andy and Kelly,
0:33:52 > 0:33:56you will clean up. John and Yvonne,
0:33:56 > 0:33:59you have to win this question if you want to go through to the final.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02OK. We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:34:02 > 0:34:07to name as many adult teeth as they could.
0:34:07 > 0:34:11Yeah. We're looking for the names of any of the four categories
0:34:11 > 0:34:13- of adult teeth in the human mouth. - Adult teeth.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16OK. Well, John and Yvonne, you are to go first again.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21We'll go for incisor.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23Incisor?
0:34:23 > 0:34:28OK. Incisors for John and Yvonne.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30- Andy and Kelly?- Molar.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33Yeah, molar. What sort do you have out?
0:34:33 > 0:34:36- Um... - The deep ones. What's the deep ones?
0:34:36 > 0:34:41It's wisdom, the other one, but that's going to be high.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43- Which do you think would be best? - Go for molar.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45- Yeah?- Yeah.
0:34:45 > 0:34:49- Um, we're going to go for molar. - OK. You want molar.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52So, we have incisors, we have molars.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54John and Yvonne said incisors. Let's see if that's right,
0:34:54 > 0:34:57and if it is, how many people said it. Incisors.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00It's correct.
0:35:00 > 0:35:0367.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10That's a high score, isn't it, 67.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12Andy and Kelly, you have gone for molars.
0:35:12 > 0:35:16Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said molars.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19This will decide who goes through to the final.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26- Bad luck! - APPLAUSE
0:35:26 > 0:35:30Bad luck, Andy and Kelly. We've had three questions,
0:35:30 > 0:35:34and after the third question, John and Yvonne are through to final,
0:35:34 > 0:35:36- 2-1. Richard? - You were mentioning wisdom teeth.
0:35:36 > 0:35:40They are actually molars as well, your last four to go through.
0:35:40 > 0:35:43There is one killer answer here. Let's look at all four.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46Best answer of all, premolars, would have scored you 15.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49Then the canines on 48, and the two we've already had,
0:35:49 > 0:35:53incisors on 67 and molars with 82.
0:35:53 > 0:35:57OK. Well, thanks, Richard. So, the losing pair at the end of the head-to-head,
0:35:57 > 0:36:00I'm afraid it's Andy and Kelly.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03Oh, that was a tough one. That was really a tough one, wasn't it?
0:36:03 > 0:36:07Teeth threw you! That was a really tough head-to-head, that one.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10You did very well. You got one of them, which was great.
0:36:10 > 0:36:14We will see you again next time, but thank you for playing.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17- Great contestants. Thank you. - APPLAUSE
0:36:20 > 0:36:24But for John and Yvonne, it's now time for our Pointless final
0:36:24 > 0:36:27and the chance to win our jackpot of £1,250.
0:36:30 > 0:36:34Congratulations, John and Yvonne. You fought off all the competition
0:36:34 > 0:36:38and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy. Very well done.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49You now have the chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:36:49 > 0:36:53At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £1,250.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56There it is.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59Now, the rules are very simple. To win that money,
0:36:59 > 0:37:01all you have to do is find a pointless answer,
0:37:01 > 0:37:04an answer none of our 100 people could think of.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07We've had one pointless answer on the show today.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10Find one more now, and you will go home with that money.
0:37:10 > 0:37:16First, you've got to choose a category from these three options, and you can go for...
0:37:19 > 0:37:22- What do you think? - I think we can rule out golf.
0:37:22 > 0:37:25- Golf, definitely out.- OK.
0:37:25 > 0:37:27We like the theatre.
0:37:27 > 0:37:30We go to the theatre a lot, but we don't know a lot about it.
0:37:30 > 0:37:34- Wildlife can be a very wide category. - Yeah.- What do you want to go for?
0:37:34 > 0:37:36- You pick.- I want to go home!
0:37:36 > 0:37:39- LAUGHTER - Go for theatre.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42Go for the theatre. Very well done.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45What sort of question would you like on the theatre?
0:37:45 > 0:37:50Maybe plays by a particular author, playwright.
0:37:50 > 0:37:52Any particular playwright you like?
0:37:52 > 0:37:55- Shakespeare.- Oh, really? OK.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58Let's see what that question is.
0:37:58 > 0:37:59We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:37:59 > 0:38:05to name as many Broadway plays of Arthur Miller as they could.
0:38:05 > 0:38:07Arthur Miller, Richard.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10We're looking for the names of any of the 13 Arthur Miller plays
0:38:10 > 0:38:15that have been performed on Broadway up to the start of 2011.
0:38:15 > 0:38:17There's 13 plays. Very best of luck.
0:38:17 > 0:38:21You have up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:38:21 > 0:38:26All you need to win that £1,250 is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:38:26 > 0:38:27Your 60 seconds start now.
0:38:27 > 0:38:31- Did he do the Death Of A Salesman? - Yes, I think so.
0:38:31 > 0:38:34- Then we've got the two Tropics. - The two Tropics.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36- Shall we go for that? - Have we got anything else?
0:38:36 > 0:38:39- THEY LAUGH - Um...
0:38:39 > 0:38:43- Well, if that's all we've got... - Yeah. We'll go for those three.
0:38:43 > 0:38:45I don't think they'll be pointless, but we'll see.
0:38:45 > 0:38:47- You have three?- Yes. - We'll stop the clock.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50- Look at that! - Well, they're not very good ones.
0:38:50 > 0:38:53It doesn't matter. We'll discover. They may be.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56We were looking for the Broadway plays of Arthur Miller.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59We needed three. What three answers are you going to give me?
0:38:59 > 0:39:02Tropic Of Cancer, Tropic Of Capricorn.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04- Tropic of Capricorn. - Death Of A Salesman.
0:39:04 > 0:39:08Death Of A Salesman. There they are. Of those three,
0:39:08 > 0:39:11which is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:39:11 > 0:39:13- Death Of A Salesman. - OK, we'll put that last.
0:39:13 > 0:39:17Which shall we put first, your least confident?
0:39:17 > 0:39:19- Tropic Of Cancer. - Tropic Of Cancer. OK.
0:39:19 > 0:39:22We'll put them up in that order. Tropic Of Cancer,
0:39:22 > 0:39:26Tropic Of Capricorn and Death Of A Salesman.
0:39:26 > 0:39:30There they are. We were looking for Arthur Miller Broadway plays.
0:39:30 > 0:39:34You said this was the answer you had the least faith in
0:39:34 > 0:39:37to be a pointless answer. You only have to find one, remember,
0:39:37 > 0:39:39to win that £1,250 jackpot.
0:39:39 > 0:39:43Well, let's see if Tropic Of Cancer is correct,
0:39:43 > 0:39:45and if it is, how many people said it.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47Tropic Of Cancer.
0:39:47 > 0:39:49This is your first shot at the jackpot.
0:39:49 > 0:39:52Not looking good...
0:39:53 > 0:39:56- Oh!- Bad luck.
0:39:56 > 0:40:00Tropic Of Cancer incorrect, therefore not a pointless answer.
0:40:00 > 0:40:04You have two more chances to win today's jackpot.
0:40:04 > 0:40:07I'm guessing that was the sister play to Tropic Of Capricorn.
0:40:07 > 0:40:11- Also not written by Arthur Miller, I would guess.- Hmm.
0:40:11 > 0:40:16It's possibly fair to guess that. Let's put that one to the test now.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19We are looking for Arthur Miller Broadway plays.
0:40:19 > 0:40:21Next answer, Tropic Of Capricorn.
0:40:21 > 0:40:24You never know. Tropic Of Capricorn.
0:40:24 > 0:40:28Let's see if that's correct, and if it is, how many people said it.
0:40:28 > 0:40:32It has to be pointless and correct for you to win that jackpot.
0:40:34 > 0:40:37- Oh!- Not a good start.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39OK.
0:40:39 > 0:40:42You now only have one chance to win today's jackpot
0:40:42 > 0:40:44of £1,250.
0:40:44 > 0:40:48We are now entering the phase...
0:40:48 > 0:40:50The Twilight Zone.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53Well, no. This is your confident answer.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56What would you do with £1,250?
0:40:56 > 0:40:58- I think we'd have a holiday.- Yeah.
0:40:58 > 0:41:01What about you, John? Holiday?
0:41:01 > 0:41:05Somewhere nice and quiet. No Madness records.
0:41:05 > 0:41:08No Madness records. Maybe take in an Arthur Miller play.
0:41:08 > 0:41:09LAUGHTER
0:41:09 > 0:41:14OK. Well, this is your last answer, the one you had the most faith in.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17Death Of A Salesman. This has to be pointless
0:41:17 > 0:41:20for you to win that jackpot of £1,250.
0:41:20 > 0:41:23It has to be by Arthur Miller,
0:41:23 > 0:41:26and it has to go down to zero.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29Let's see if either of those things might happen.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32Death Of A Salesman.
0:41:35 > 0:41:38It's right. This has to go all the way down to zero
0:41:38 > 0:41:42if you're going to win that jackpot of £1,250.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45Down it goes. Ooh, down into the teens!
0:41:45 > 0:41:47- Down in single figures!- Oh!
0:41:47 > 0:41:49Disappointing.
0:41:53 > 0:41:55Bad luck.
0:41:55 > 0:41:59You didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer,
0:41:59 > 0:42:03so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £1,250,
0:42:03 > 0:42:05which will roll over to the next show.
0:42:05 > 0:42:09But you have been amazing contestants, and you do take home our trophy.
0:42:09 > 0:42:11Richard?
0:42:11 > 0:42:14Tropic Of Cancer and Tropic Of Capricorn were Henry Miller.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16That's where the confusion came.
0:42:16 > 0:42:19There were a number of pointless answers.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22Let's look at some of them. A Memory Of Two Mondays, from 1955,
0:42:22 > 0:42:26that was pointless. Incident At Vichy, a World War II play,
0:42:26 > 0:42:29The American Clock, about the Great Depression,
0:42:29 > 0:42:33The Creation Of The World And Other Business, early stories of the Bible,
0:42:33 > 0:42:36The Man Who Had All The Luck, The Price, those were both pointless.
0:42:36 > 0:42:41And The Ride Down Mount Morgan. Well done if you got any of those at home.
0:42:41 > 0:42:45- Thanks very much, Richard. Did you recognise any of those?- Not one!
0:42:45 > 0:42:49Well, that's some consolation. It would be awful if you knew five of them.
0:42:49 > 0:42:52Unfortunately we do have to say goodbye to you, John and Yvonne.
0:42:52 > 0:42:56It's been fabulous having you on the show. Thank you so much for playing.
0:42:56 > 0:42:59APPLAUSE
0:43:01 > 0:43:05So nobody's won our jackpot today, which means it rolls over
0:43:05 > 0:43:10onto the next show, when we will be playing for £2,250.
0:43:10 > 0:43:13CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:43:13 > 0:43:15Join us next time to see if someone can win it.
0:43:15 > 0:43:18- Meanwhile, goodbye from Richard... - Goodbye.
0:43:18 > 0:43:20And goodbye from me. Goodbye.
