0:00:20 > 0:00:23- APPLAUSE - Thank you very much.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Hello. I'm Alexander Armstrong. Welcome to Pointless,
0:00:26 > 0:00:29the quiz show where the lowest scorers are the biggest winners.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31Let's meet today's players.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37First up we welcome back Mario and Geoff.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41Everyone gets two chances to reach the Pointless final. This is your second chance.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44- Remind us how you did last time. - Very badly.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47We were out in the first round. Beaten by the beetle.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49It was the mad monk that did for you,
0:00:49 > 0:00:53the mad-monk beetle that just turned out not to exist.
0:00:53 > 0:00:58- Geoff, what are you hoping will come up today?- The Cardiff bus timetable?
0:00:58 > 0:01:00That would be good.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03- How good would you be on that? - Oh, pretty good!
0:01:03 > 0:01:06- Would you?- Yeah, pretty good. - What's the first bus in the morning?
0:01:06 > 0:01:09- From the depot is 4:24. - Yeah, but not from the depot!
0:01:09 > 0:01:12- 4:30 from the bus station. - Very good.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Geoff used to control the buses in the Cardiff area.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Mario, what are you hoping will come up?
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Hoping for sports, geography, yeah. Books.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Most specifically football in South Wales.
0:01:23 > 0:01:27- That would be nice, but I'm not very optimistic.- Well, let's see.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29Best of luck. Lovely to have you back.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32And secondly we welcome back Jean and Carol.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35- Remind us how you did last time. - We got through to the head-to-head.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39- You did brilliantly well.- We got beaten by a bunch of footballers.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42- Football.- You're making this sound worse than it was.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Beaten by footballers! What do you do in your spare time, Jean?
0:01:45 > 0:01:49Er, we go together, mainly, to the museums,
0:01:49 > 0:01:51things like that. We go out theatre.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Any particular thing you like to see, or just whatever's on?
0:01:54 > 0:01:56- Musicals.- Yeah.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00- So musicals might be a good subject. - It could be, couldn't it?
0:02:00 > 0:02:02- You could pool your resources. - Hopefully.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Best of luck to the pair of you. Lovely having you back.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08Next we welcome Andrew and Sue. How do you two know each other?
0:02:08 > 0:02:11We know each other from the local pub quiz,
0:02:11 > 0:02:14where we were on different teams.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Our team kept winning. Sue's team kept losing,
0:02:17 > 0:02:20- so gradually she infiltrated our team.- Not true!
0:02:20 > 0:02:23It is true. And now she captains our team.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26We're not quite sure how that happened.
0:02:26 > 0:02:27- Sue!- You tell me.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30I can tell you. Because you're brilliant.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32- THEY LAUGH - Because you're brilliant.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Absolutely!
0:02:34 > 0:02:37- What's the name of your team? - She Who Must Be Obeyed.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40- There's a clue in the name there. - Very best of luck.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42And finally we've got Jake and Barney.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46- How do you two know each other? - We worked together six years ago,
0:02:46 > 0:02:49- and we've been friends ever since. - What did you do together?
0:02:49 > 0:02:53Er, we worked in a pub in London when I first moved to London.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56- Did you have pub quizzes there? - We did indeed, which I ran.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00- So you had my job, basically. - Yeah.- So you had all the answers.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03- Yeah. So it was easy for me. - So much easier, isn't it?
0:03:03 > 0:03:05Jake, did you take part in these extravaganzas?
0:03:05 > 0:03:09I used to try, but I was generally working behind the bar.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12I'd try and give the odd person the odd answer if I knew it,
0:03:12 > 0:03:15- but he would never give me the answers.- Right!
0:03:15 > 0:03:19I see. We'll find out more about all of you throughout the show.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22There is one person yet for me to introduce.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25He is a raconteur of obscure facts and figures.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28- That's what it says. He's my Pointless friend Richard.- Hello.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31Hiya. THEY APPLAUD
0:03:31 > 0:03:32A raconteur!
0:03:32 > 0:03:35You're like a Ronnie Corbett of obscure facts and figures.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39I think there's one small difference between me and Ronnie Corbett,
0:03:39 > 0:03:41if I'm honest. LAUGHTER
0:03:41 > 0:03:43- He's Scottish.- He is Scottish.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Same glasses, essentially. We've got a great show.
0:03:46 > 0:03:51We've got two very good returning pairs. We had Jean and Carol in the head-to-head last time,
0:03:51 > 0:03:55so they could go all the way again. But Mario and Geoff,
0:03:55 > 0:03:58- they were gutted, weren't they? - They were cruelly...
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Absolutely gutted. I thought they contained themselves very well,
0:04:01 > 0:04:03but you could see... Look at them now!
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Look at the fury on their faces!
0:04:06 > 0:04:09They are absolutely bang up for this, aren't they?
0:04:09 > 0:04:12But our two new pairs all appear to be world quiz champions,
0:04:12 > 0:04:16as far as I can make out. Sue is saying, "Yes, that's correct."
0:04:16 > 0:04:19"We are. We're quite something," she's saying.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22I think it's going to be a really cracking show. Question one...
0:04:22 > 0:04:26Question one, very, very tricky. It's tough. It's interesting,
0:04:26 > 0:04:29- but it will get everybody thinking. - Look out for that!
0:04:29 > 0:04:33Question one. Right. We put all our questions to 100 people
0:04:33 > 0:04:35before the show, but this is Pointless,
0:04:35 > 0:04:38so we are after the obscure answers they didn't get.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42You're trying to find a pointless answer, one that none of our 100 people gave.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Each time that happens, we will add 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49Nobody won the jackpot last time, so we add another £1,000 to that.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51So today's jackpot starts off at...
0:04:51 > 0:04:53£3,500!
0:04:56 > 0:05:00Very good indeed. Right! Let's play Pointless.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07In the first round, each of you must give me one answer,
0:05:07 > 0:05:09and you cannot confer with your partner.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12The team with the highest score at the end will be eliminated,
0:05:12 > 0:05:16so be very careful that's not you. If anyone gives an incorrect answer,
0:05:16 > 0:05:19they will score the maximum of 100 points.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21OK. Our first category this afternoon is...
0:05:21 > 0:05:24UK politics.
0:05:24 > 0:05:28Decide in your pairs who's going to go first and second.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36OK. Let's find out what the question is.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:05:38 > 0:05:43to name as many members of the coalition cabinet as they could.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47- Richard?- Yeah. We're looking for any of the MPs or peers
0:05:47 > 0:05:50who were given a seat in the first coalition cabinet
0:05:50 > 0:05:52that was put together in May 2010.
0:05:52 > 0:05:5628 people are designated by the prime minister's office
0:05:56 > 0:05:58as attending cabinet - that's secretaries of state,
0:05:58 > 0:06:00heads of departments and other people.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04We won't accept the attorney general, Dominic Grieve,
0:06:04 > 0:06:07but we're looking for any of the 28 peers or MPs
0:06:07 > 0:06:11who made up the first coalition cabinet in May 2010.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15OK. Thanks very much, Richard. Oh, Mario and Geoff,
0:06:15 > 0:06:19you all drew lots before the show, and you get to go first.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21- Pleased about that, Geoff? - Not really.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23THEY LAUGH
0:06:23 > 0:06:27OK. What is the most obscure name you can think of
0:06:27 > 0:06:31from that first coalition cabinet in May 2010, Geoff?
0:06:31 > 0:06:34Oh, we went out first round last time.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38Let's keep on the habit. I think it's got to be Nick Clegg, I think.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42Nick Clegg? You're hoping to score as few points as possible.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47Let's see if Nick Clegg is correct, and how many people said it.
0:06:52 > 0:06:5461!
0:06:54 > 0:06:56- Better than I thought. - That's not terrible.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59That scores you 61 points. Nick Clegg, Richard.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Yeah, the leader of the Lib Dems and deputy prime minister.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06That's quite a low score. Perhaps people think he's not in the cabinet,
0:07:06 > 0:07:09- maybe.- Maybe. - LAUGHTER
0:07:09 > 0:07:12OK. 61 points. So, Jean...
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Yes.
0:07:14 > 0:07:15- Jean... - SHE LAUGHS
0:07:15 > 0:07:17How are you on current UK politics?
0:07:17 > 0:07:20Well, not very good, no.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24But I've got a name, so I'm just going to hope it's right.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26- You've got a lovely name, Jean. - SHE LAUGHS
0:07:26 > 0:07:30- William Hague.- OK. William Hague, you're going to say.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Let's see if that's right. You want to score as few points as possible.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Let's see how many people said it. William Hague.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38It's right!
0:07:41 > 0:07:43- Down in the 20s. Teens!- Oh, no!
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Single figures! Wow!
0:07:45 > 0:07:47APPLAUSE
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Wow! William Hague scores you nine.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56I tell you what - if everyone can think of obscure members,
0:07:56 > 0:07:58there will be some pointless answers out there.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Foreign secretary, nine points.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04That's less than we found out last time knew that Mark Feehily was in Westlife.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06LAUGHTER
0:08:06 > 0:08:09We are looking for members of the first coalition cabinet
0:08:09 > 0:08:11as formed in May 2010.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13OK. Now, then, Andrew,
0:08:13 > 0:08:16luckily UK politics is something you follow a lot of.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18- Oh...- Current affairs?
0:08:18 > 0:08:21- Um, sort of.- Yeah?
0:08:21 > 0:08:25Well... we're trying to find pointless politicians.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28We are. Exactly. Very well done.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31There should be hundreds of them. Um...
0:08:31 > 0:08:35I'm not absolutely certain he's in the cabinet,
0:08:35 > 0:08:39but I think he is, so I'm going to go for Simon Hughes.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42Simon Hughes, you're saying. Let's see if it's correct,
0:08:42 > 0:08:45and if it is, how many people said Simon Hughes.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Bad luck, Andrew.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Unfortunately Simon Hughes is an incorrect answer,
0:08:55 > 0:08:58and it scores you the maximum of 100 points.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01Tough luck. That's a good answer, but he wasn't in the first cabinet
0:09:01 > 0:09:04put together in May 2010.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Very senior Lib Dem, deputy leader of the Lib Dems,
0:09:06 > 0:09:11- but he's not in the cabinet. - OK. Thanks very much, Richard.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Bad luck, Andrew. Now, then, Barney...
0:09:13 > 0:09:17- Yeah.- Now, then, Barney, do you follow current affairs?
0:09:17 > 0:09:20A little bit. I watch the news.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23There's one that springs to mind.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26It's got a strange name, I think.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Menzies Campbell.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31- Menzies Campbell?- Yeah.
0:09:31 > 0:09:35- I think he's in the cabinet.- OK. You're going for Menzies Campbell.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38You're hoping that this will be nice and obscure.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42Not so obscure that it's wrong. Let's see if that's correct,
0:09:42 > 0:09:45and if it is, let's see how many people said Menzies Campbell.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51Bad luck, Barney! Great news for Andrew.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Bad news for you. That's an incorrect answer,
0:09:54 > 0:09:57and it scores you the maximum of 100 points. Richard?
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Yeah. Unlucky, Barney. A former leader of the Lib Dems,
0:10:00 > 0:10:04former Olympic sprinter, but not in the first coalition cabinet.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07There we are. We're halfway through the round.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09Let's take a look at the scores as they stand.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12On a brilliantly low nine points, Jean and Carol.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16- I can't believe it! - Oh, setting out their store early
0:10:16 > 0:10:19in this game. Fabulous low score there.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23And then closely followed on 61 by Geoff and Mario.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Geoff, what a brilliant answer there!
0:10:25 > 0:10:28And then Andrew and Barney, two incorrect answers.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32Incorrect for all the right reasons, but that places you neck and neck
0:10:32 > 0:10:36right at the other end of the field. But it's very exciting!
0:10:36 > 0:10:39Sue and Jake, the battle is going to be between you two.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42OK. Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:10:45 > 0:10:49OK. Remember, we are looking for members of the coalition cabinet,
0:10:49 > 0:10:52first coalition cabinet in May 2010.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56Now, Jake, you are the joint high scorers with Sue and Andrew
0:10:56 > 0:11:00on 100 points. What are you going to say, Jake?
0:11:00 > 0:11:03I've got two that I have in mind - one that I'm pretty certain of,
0:11:03 > 0:11:06and one could go either way.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09Is that because it's an obscure answer, or...
0:11:09 > 0:11:13Just because I know the name, and for no other reason,
0:11:13 > 0:11:18really, than that, so... Probably going to go for that one, I think.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21- I'll go with Peter Mandelson. - With Peter Mandelson.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24No red line for you because you're the high scorers.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28Let's see if that's right, and if it is, and how many people knew that answer. Peter Mandelson.
0:11:31 > 0:11:32Bad luck, Jake!
0:11:32 > 0:11:36That is an incorrect answer, which means you score the maximum
0:11:36 > 0:11:40of 100 points, taking your total up to an impressive 200.
0:11:40 > 0:11:45- Richard?- The bad news is that Peter Mandelson is not in the cabinet.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48The good news is, Peter Mandelson's not in the cabinet,
0:11:48 > 0:11:51so swings and roundabouts. No, he's a Labour lord.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55I'm sure he would join the cabinet if he was asked, but it's unlikely they will.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58We are looking for members of the first coalition cabinet
0:11:58 > 0:12:00as formed in May 2010.
0:12:00 > 0:12:05Sue, Jake and Barney are way out ahead on 200.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07They are the high scorers now.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10You were joint high scorers. They're now on their own.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Is this question going to keep them on their own?
0:12:12 > 0:12:15- SHE LAUGHS - I'm terrible at politics.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17It is the worst thing you could've asked me,
0:12:17 > 0:12:20- absolutely. - I tell you what. They're on 200.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23If you can score 99 or less...
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Well, I'm going to have to go for David Cameron.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29What else can I do?
0:12:29 > 0:12:31That might be a very, very shrewd answer.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34- What else can I do? - You think it's right?
0:12:34 > 0:12:36I don't know. I mean, it's his cabinet,
0:12:36 > 0:12:39but he's a member of his cabinet, isn't he? I don't know.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41I'm not sure.
0:12:41 > 0:12:45- It's a bit of a stab in the dark. - Politics is not my thing at all.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48You're going to go for this David Cameron character. OK.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51If David Cameron gets you below your red line,
0:12:51 > 0:12:54you are through to the next round.
0:12:54 > 0:12:58Let's see if David Cameron's right, and how many people said it.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00David Cameron.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03It's right.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05- Oh, my word!- And down it goes.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08- That's ridiculous!- To 47.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10That is ridiculous!
0:13:12 > 0:13:15That was a very, very shrewd answer, Sue. Very well chosen.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18Takes your total to 147, sees you through to the next round.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21- Richard! - Yes, quite something!- Blimey.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24David Cameron's job in the cabinet is,
0:13:24 > 0:13:27he is prime minister. He is prime minister.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31Jean is looking like Jeremy Paxman or something now, isn't she?
0:13:31 > 0:13:35- Like Britain's leading political expert.- Ditto Geoff, I'd say.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38Yeah. Well, thanks very much, Richard.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42Now, then, Carol, whatever happens, you are through to the next round.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45Jake and Barney are way ahead on 200.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49I'm afraid we'll be saying goodbye to them at the end of this round.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Whatever you score, you can't overtake their high score.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56- So have a bit of fun, Carol...- OK. - ..and let's have a pointless answer
0:13:56 > 0:14:00- and add 250 quid to the jackpot. - I would like to beat Mum's score.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03She did pretty well there. The only name I can think of
0:14:03 > 0:14:06is Theresa May. I think she's a secretary of something.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08- Might be education.- Theresa May.
0:14:08 > 0:14:13- I think.- Well, at this rate, that might well be a pointless answer.
0:14:13 > 0:14:17No red line for you. You're through whatever happens.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21Let's see if Theresa May is indeed in the coalition cabinet,
0:14:21 > 0:14:24and if she is, let's see how many people remembered her.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Theresa May.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30JEAN LAUGHS
0:14:33 > 0:14:37There she is. Nine! Exactly the same score as your mum, Carol. Nine!
0:14:37 > 0:14:41Takes your total up to 18. Theresa May, Richard.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45Well played, Carol. Theresa May was appointed home secretary.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48One of the 100 people we asked said Vanessa Mae.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50- LAUGHTER - Seriously?
0:14:50 > 0:14:54- Yeah.- We are looking for members of the first coalition cabinet
0:14:54 > 0:14:56as formed in May 2010.
0:14:56 > 0:15:00Now, Mario, you are through to the next round come what may,
0:15:00 > 0:15:03thanks to the high score of Jake and Barney.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05You can't overtake their high score.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08The only person left I can possibly think of is Vince Cable.
0:15:08 > 0:15:13Vince Cable? OK. Vince Cable. Again, could easily be pointless.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16Let's see how many people said Vince Cable,
0:15:16 > 0:15:18and if he's a right answer.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21It's right!
0:15:24 > 0:15:2644. 44!
0:15:29 > 0:15:32It's only three people fewer than said David Cameron.
0:15:32 > 0:15:3644. Takes your total up to 105. Very good. Vince Cable, Richard.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38He'll be delighted, won't he?
0:15:38 > 0:15:42That's because he was on the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45- Of course. - He was appointed business secretary.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48There was lots and lots of pointless people in the cabinet.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51I'll go through a few of them. Mario and Geoff,
0:15:51 > 0:15:54you might have thought of the secretary of state for Wales,
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Cheryl Gillan. She was pointless. Baroness Warsi,
0:15:56 > 0:15:59minister without portfolio, Caroline Spelman,
0:15:59 > 0:16:02who is environment, food and rural affairs,
0:16:02 > 0:16:06Dr Liam Fox, defence, Francis Maude at the cabinet office,
0:16:06 > 0:16:09Lord Strathclyde... All of these are pointless.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Oliver Letwin, Andrew Mitchell and Sir George Young.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Very well done if you got those. Surely somebody got some of them.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18Come on. LAUGHTER
0:16:18 > 0:16:21Thanks, Richard. At the end of round one, the losing pair
0:16:21 > 0:16:24with the highest score, I'm afraid, Jake and Barney.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27But the nice thing is, you can equally share the blame,
0:16:27 > 0:16:30- so there's no...- That's very true,
0:16:30 > 0:16:33although I'm sure he's staring at me at the moment.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36- I don't think they can share it. - I'm not sure they really can.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39I think Menzies Campbell's not a bad answer.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42Peter Mandelson I would say is a bad answer,
0:16:42 > 0:16:45- I would say.- Thank you. - We will see you again next time,
0:16:45 > 0:16:50when I'm sure you will last longer than just one round. I'm sure.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53Fingers crossed, too, but you've done very well.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55No, you haven't. You've been appalling!
0:16:55 > 0:16:58You've been excellent contestants,
0:16:58 > 0:17:01if just not particularly good on your politics.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04- Thanks very much for playing. - Thanks a lot.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for round two.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18Only two pairs can make it through to the head-to-head,
0:17:18 > 0:17:21so one team will be leaving us at the end of this round.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23Make sure it's not you.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26OK. Our category for this afternoon's second round is...
0:17:26 > 0:17:28film.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first and second?
0:17:31 > 0:17:35And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41OK. Our round-two question concerns...
0:17:41 > 0:17:44famous film characters and their actors.
0:17:44 > 0:17:48We're about to show you a list of famous characters from films.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52We have asked 100 people to tell us which actor played them. Richard?
0:17:52 > 0:17:55We'll show you the names of six characters in each pass.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58Tell us which actor played them. If they've been played
0:17:58 > 0:18:02by more than one actor, we want the actor who played them first.
0:18:02 > 0:18:08The more obscure the character, the fewer points you'll score. An incorrect answer will score 100.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10And see how many of the 12 you can get at home.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14So, we are looking for the actors who first played these characters.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17And we have got...
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Now, then, Geoff...
0:18:36 > 0:18:38- Do you watch a lot of films?- No.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40- HE LAUGHS - OK.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44- How does this compare to the first question?- It's OK.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46There's a couple of obvious ones up there, but...
0:18:46 > 0:18:48OK. Now, then, Geoff.
0:18:48 > 0:18:53Yep. It's obviously Norman Bates, which is Anthony Perkins.
0:18:53 > 0:18:57Anthony Perkins. Very well said. Norman Bates.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00Let's see if Anthony Perkins is a correct answer,
0:19:00 > 0:19:03and if it is, let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05Anthony Perkins.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11That's right, obviously. Down it comes.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15Very well done, Geoff!
0:19:15 > 0:19:17APPLAUSE
0:19:18 > 0:19:21Anthony Perkins scores you 13 points. Richard?
0:19:21 > 0:19:24Well played, Geoff. Anthony Perkins played the psycho
0:19:24 > 0:19:27in Hitchcock's 1960 film Psycho.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Very well done. Now, then, Jean.
0:19:29 > 0:19:34Now, is this a good category for you? That little expression there...
0:19:34 > 0:19:36Yeah, it is. I just don't know which to go for.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Oh, good! I'm so glad. Good, good, good.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40Um...
0:19:40 > 0:19:43I'm going to go for Forrest Gump and Tom Hanks.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46- OK.- I don't know whether that'll be very...
0:19:46 > 0:19:49You're hoping that's the more obscure one of the ones you knew?
0:19:49 > 0:19:52- Don't think so, really. No.- OK.
0:19:52 > 0:19:56Well, Tom Hanks, Forrest Gump. Let's see if it's right, and if it is,
0:19:56 > 0:19:58how many people knew that answer. Tom Hanks.
0:20:02 > 0:20:0469.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07That's quite a high score there, but it's a correct answer, Jean.
0:20:07 > 0:20:0969 for Tom Hanks.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11Yeah, Jean. At least it's a correct answer.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14Bill Murray and Chevy Chase both turned down the role
0:20:14 > 0:20:16before Tom Hanks took it.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19Chevy Chase in the role of Forrest Gump!
0:20:19 > 0:20:21- Yep.- Wow!
0:20:21 > 0:20:24OK. There we are. Now, then, Sue...
0:20:25 > 0:20:28- I think you're going to be quite good at this.- I think I know them.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31- You think you know them all? - I think I do.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34Well, you can go through all the things on the board if you like,
0:20:34 > 0:20:37- as long as you pick one at the end. - Han Solo, Harrison Ford.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Erin Brockovich, Julia Roberts.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Ellen Ripley, Sigourney Weaver, and Axel Foley, Eddie Murphy.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46But I don't know which one's going to score the least.
0:20:46 > 0:20:51I think I'll go for Erin Brockovich, but it could be any of them.
0:20:51 > 0:20:52Julia Roberts.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55- Erin Brockovich, Julia Roberts.- Yep.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59Let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01Erin Brockovich, Julia Roberts.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10Well, 51.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12APPLAUSE
0:21:12 > 0:21:16- 51 for Erin Brockovich, Richard. - Yeah. I have to say, Sue,
0:21:16 > 0:21:19you went through every answer perfectly,
0:21:19 > 0:21:21and I thought Erin Brockovich was a good choice. But 51,
0:21:21 > 0:21:25it's a lot. In the first round you told us that David Cameron is in the cabinet
0:21:25 > 0:21:31and scored fewer points than knowing that Julia Roberts played Erin Brockovich.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34Isn't that extraordinary? Let's take a look at the rest.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Sue's already gone through them exactly right.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40Han Solo is Harrison Ford. Would have scored you less points, 40.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42Axel Foley is Eddie Murphy.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44That would've scored you 31.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46And Ellen Ripley was probably the one to go for,
0:21:46 > 0:21:49Sigourney Weaver. Would have scored you 19 points.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52But Anthony Perkins is the best answer on the board.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55Well done if you got that at home, and if you got all six.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58Thank you very much, Richard. So, on 13, Geoff!
0:21:58 > 0:22:02- What about that? - Great!- Leading the field.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05But the real contest will be between Andrew and Carol
0:22:05 > 0:22:07in the next pass. 51 for Sue and Andrew,
0:22:07 > 0:22:10and then Jean leading the field there with 69.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13Carol, I hope you know your films.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16Can the second players take their places at the podium?
0:22:19 > 0:22:22We're going to put six more famous characters from films
0:22:22 > 0:22:25on the board, and here they are.
0:22:42 > 0:22:46We are looking for the actors who first played these characters,
0:22:46 > 0:22:50and you're trying to find the one that fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Now, then, Andrew, Sue did pretty well.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55She knew all the names on that board.
0:22:55 > 0:22:59Sadly Erin Brockovich was a high scorer.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02The high scorers at the moment are Carol and Jean on 69.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04If you can score 17 or less with this,
0:23:04 > 0:23:07you are definitely through to the next round.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11I think I'm going to have to go for Dr Zhivago and Omar Sharif.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15Omar Sharif, Dr Zhivago. As I say, you want to score 17 or less
0:23:15 > 0:23:18to be sure of a place in the next round.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22There's your red line. Let's see if Omar Sharif is right for Dr Zhivago,
0:23:22 > 0:23:26and if it is, how many people knew that answer. Omar Sharif.
0:23:29 > 0:23:33It's right. How far down will that go?
0:23:34 > 0:23:37Very well done! 19, that scores you.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41It's not good enough to ensure you're through to the next round,
0:23:41 > 0:23:44but it ought to see you in there.
0:23:44 > 0:23:48- Richard, Dr Zhivago.- Well played. Two good answers from your team.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52From 1965. Peter O'Toole turned down the role first.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54- Peter O'Toole?- Mmm.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57This is getting more and more bizarre.
0:23:57 > 0:24:01- Chevy Chase...- Peter O'Toole. - Did they not ask...
0:24:01 > 0:24:04Chevy Chase turned down the role as well. The young Chevy Chase.
0:24:04 > 0:24:09Wow! OK. Well, I didn't say - that takes your score to 70.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11You are the high scorers by one point.
0:24:11 > 0:24:15So, Carol, it's in your hands.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17If you can find a pointless answer,
0:24:17 > 0:24:21you are definitely through to the next round.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24- I'll try. - OK. A pointless answer.- OK.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28The only one that I think is probably more obscure
0:24:28 > 0:24:32is Vincent Vega, which I'm sure is John Travolta.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35- I'm not positive, but I think. - Do you want to guess which film?
0:24:35 > 0:24:37Er, Pulp Fiction.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39Vincent Vega. OK.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42Well, if this scores you nothing,
0:24:42 > 0:24:45you are definitely through to the next round.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47Let's see if Vincent Vega is right, and if it is,
0:24:47 > 0:24:51how many people knew that answer. Vincent Vega, John Travolta.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55- Oh!- It's right.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58Down it goes.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02Very well done. 12, that scores you, Carol.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06It's a great answer. Lovely low score,
0:25:06 > 0:25:10but it takes your total up to 81, which may be too high.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13- We'll see. Richard? - Good answer. Very well played.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16- From 1994, Pulp Fiction. - Very, very good.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19That's our lowest score throughout the entire round so far.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24Is it too little too late, though? We shall see.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27Mario, it's all in your hands. You're on 13.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Carol and Jean the high scorers on 81.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32If you can score 67 or less with this answer,
0:25:32 > 0:25:35you are through to the head-to-head. Take us through the board, Mario.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38I think Travis Bickle's Robert de Niro.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41Jason Bourne is Matt Damon.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43Lara Croft I think is Angelina Jolie,
0:25:43 > 0:25:45and Scarlett O'Hara is Vivien Leigh.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49So I think I'll go with...
0:25:50 > 0:25:52I'll have egg on my face if it's more than...
0:25:52 > 0:25:55I'll go for Robert de Niro, Travis Bickle.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58- Robert de Niro, in, of course... - Taxi Driver.- Taxi Driver.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01There is the red line. Below that red line,
0:26:01 > 0:26:05you are through to the head-to-head, and we say goodbye to Carol and Jean.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09Let's see. Is Robert de Niro right, and if it is,
0:26:09 > 0:26:11how many people said it?
0:26:12 > 0:26:14Well done.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16You're through!
0:26:19 > 0:26:22Oh, that's a brilliant answer. Very, very well done, Mario.
0:26:22 > 0:26:26That scores you five. Takes your total up to 18.
0:26:26 > 0:26:30- Richard?- Well played, Mario. It's the best answer on the board.
0:26:30 > 0:26:34Five points. Taxi Driver, the natural enemy of the bus controller.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37Am I right? THEY LAUGH
0:26:37 > 0:26:41Let's look at the board. Mario has taken us through it very successfully.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44The biggest scorer, though, Lara Croft,
0:26:44 > 0:26:47Angelina Jolie. That would've scored you 66 points.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51- Wow!- That's more people than know Nick Clegg's in the cabinet.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54Jason Bourne is Matt Damon, as Mario told us. Would have scored you 35.
0:26:54 > 0:26:59And Scarlett O'Hara, Vivien Leigh, would have scored you 15.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01So very well done if you got all 12 of those at home.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04Thanks very much. So, at the end of round two,
0:27:04 > 0:27:07the losing pair with the highest score - it's Jean and Carol!
0:27:07 > 0:27:10- Never mind.- Never mind. - Oh, I'm so sorry!
0:27:10 > 0:27:14Not terrible answers there from you. You went to the head-to-head
0:27:14 > 0:27:16- in the last game.- I know.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19- Oh, dear, oh, dear.- We've had fun. - Never mind. We've had fun.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22So have we. It's been lovely. Thank you for playing.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25- Wonderful contestants. Thank you. - APPLAUSE
0:27:27 > 0:27:33For the remaining two pairs, things will get even more exciting now as we enter the head-to-head.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42Very, very well done. Mario and Geoff and Andrew and Sue,
0:27:42 > 0:27:46you've made it to the head-to-head. Only one pair can reach the final
0:27:46 > 0:27:49and play for the jackpot, which currently stands,
0:27:49 > 0:27:52in case you've forgotten, at £3,500.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55APPLAUSE
0:27:55 > 0:27:59You're going to go head-to-head on the best of three questions.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02For each question, each pair needs to give me just one answer,
0:28:02 > 0:28:05and you may now confer. All you have to do is come up with an answer
0:28:05 > 0:28:09that scores less than the other pair, and you will win that question.
0:28:09 > 0:28:14The pair that gets the best of three will play for today's jackpot. Let's play Pointless.
0:28:18 > 0:28:22Here is your first question. We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:28:22 > 0:28:29to name as many English cities beginning with L as they could.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32There are seven cities in England that begin with L,
0:28:32 > 0:28:35as of the start of 2011. Which is the most obscure of those?
0:28:35 > 0:28:38See how many of the seven you can get at home, as well.
0:28:38 > 0:28:42OK. Mario and Geoff, because you've played best so far,
0:28:42 > 0:28:47you get to go first. We are looking for English cities beginning with L.
0:28:47 > 0:28:53- There's Leeds and Liverpool. - Leicester.- Yeah. Good. Cracking.
0:28:53 > 0:28:55OK. I'm going to need an answer from you.
0:28:55 > 0:28:59- We're going to go for Leicester. - You're going to go for Leicester.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02OK. We have Leicester.
0:29:02 > 0:29:05Andrew and Sue, you can now do your thinking out loud.
0:29:05 > 0:29:08- Leicester is off the board. - We've got quite a lot.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11- You can say them.- Let's hear 'em. - I was thinking about Ludlow.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14I'm not sure whether it's got a cathedral or not.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16I'm not sure about it.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18- I think Lancaster.- Do you?
0:29:18 > 0:29:22- Yeah.- OK. I'll go for Lancaster. - Lancaster, we'll go for.
0:29:22 > 0:29:24You're going to go for Lancaster?
0:29:24 > 0:29:27OK. We have Leicester. We have Lancaster.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30Mario and Geoff have gone for Leicester.
0:29:30 > 0:29:34Let's see if it's right, and if it is, how many people said Leicester.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37It's right.
0:29:37 > 0:29:3976.
0:29:43 > 0:29:45- I can't believe that.- Leicester!
0:29:45 > 0:29:50Very high score there. Andrew and Sue have gone for Lancaster.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53- HE WHISPERS - It has to be right,
0:29:53 > 0:29:55and it has to beat 76.
0:29:55 > 0:29:59Let's see if Lancaster is indeed a city,
0:29:59 > 0:30:03and if it is, let's see if it can score lower than 76.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05Uh-oh! Ooh!
0:30:05 > 0:30:07- It's right!- Ooh, it's right.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09And down it goes. It beats Leicester.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12Very, very well done.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15- 36 for Lancaster.- Well done.
0:30:15 > 0:30:19So, after our first question it is one-nil to Andrew and Sue. Richard?
0:30:19 > 0:30:23Well played. Very good answer. There is one very obscure answer here
0:30:23 > 0:30:26which beats everything else out of the water. It's not Ludlow,
0:30:26 > 0:30:29so it's fortunate you didn't go for it,
0:30:29 > 0:30:31but anyone at home who said Lichfield,
0:30:31 > 0:30:33Lichfield would have scored you three points.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36- Oh, really?- Lichfield. Yeah.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38Then Lancaster with 36, Lincoln 54,
0:30:38 > 0:30:43Leeds 68, Leicester 76, Liverpool 77 and London 84.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46There's the city of London and the city of Westminster,
0:30:46 > 0:30:49- both in Greater London. - After the first question,
0:30:49 > 0:30:52one-nil to Andrew and Sue. Mario and Geoff,
0:30:52 > 0:30:55you have to win this next question to stay in the game.
0:30:55 > 0:30:59Here it is. Second question. We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:30:59 > 0:31:04to name as many Grand National fences as they could.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06Grand National fences. Richard?
0:31:06 > 0:31:08We're looking for any of the traditional names
0:31:08 > 0:31:13given to fences on the Grand National course. We're going by the Aintree website.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16We're not looking for numbered fences, but there are six
0:31:16 > 0:31:19which have individual names, as listed on the Aintree website.
0:31:19 > 0:31:24- And that's as of the start of 2011. - OK. Thanks very much, Richard.
0:31:24 > 0:31:28Now, Andrew and Sue, you get to go first this time.
0:31:28 > 0:31:32There's one called Foinavon. They named a fence after Foinavon,
0:31:32 > 0:31:36- the horse. I'm not sure. - Well, if you're not sure...
0:31:36 > 0:31:40Er, we're going to go for Valentine's Brook.
0:31:40 > 0:31:41Valentine's Brook?
0:31:41 > 0:31:44Valentine's Brook.
0:31:44 > 0:31:48- Mario and Geoff? - I can think of two obvious answers,
0:31:48 > 0:31:51which are going to be way, way, way up.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53- And those are... - Obviously Becher's Brook,
0:31:53 > 0:31:58- and you've got the Chair.- Mmm.- And...
0:31:58 > 0:32:01- I can't... - I don't know. I don't even watch it,
0:32:01 > 0:32:04- the Grand National. - It'll have to be the Chair,
0:32:04 > 0:32:06and best of luck to our friends in the final.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09- THEY LAUGH - That's incredibly gracious of you.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12- So, you are going to say the Chair. - Unfortunately.
0:32:12 > 0:32:14Unfortunately the Chair.
0:32:14 > 0:32:18So, we have Valentine's Brook and we have the Chair.
0:32:18 > 0:32:22OK. Andrew and Sue have gone for Valentine's.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24Let's see if that is correct,
0:32:24 > 0:32:28and if it is correct, let's see how many people said it.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33It's right.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35It's right.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37And down it goes.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41- Very, very well done indeed. - APPLAUSE
0:32:41 > 0:32:42Well done.
0:32:43 > 0:32:46That scores you three.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49Now, Mario and Geoff, you have gone for the Chair.
0:32:49 > 0:32:51Let's see if it's right, and if it is,
0:32:51 > 0:32:54how many people said the Chair.
0:32:57 > 0:32:59It's right.
0:33:01 > 0:33:03There we are.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05Good effort.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09So, yes, Valentine's beats the Chair,
0:33:09 > 0:33:11and after two questions,
0:33:11 > 0:33:14Andrew and Sue are through in straight sets to the final. Richard?
0:33:14 > 0:33:17That's the way to play the head-to-head. Very well done.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20Very good answer. There is actually a pointless answer,
0:33:20 > 0:33:24the one answer that would have beaten it. I think I heard you say it,
0:33:24 > 0:33:26so I might give you the glory, if you do know it.
0:33:26 > 0:33:31I was going to go for this. I think they named a fence after Foinavon,
0:33:31 > 0:33:33the horse that caused the pile-up in '67.
0:33:33 > 0:33:37That is 100 percent right. Pointless answer at the bottom of the list,
0:33:37 > 0:33:39Foinavon. Very well done if you got that at home.
0:33:39 > 0:33:44Foinavon won at 150 to one, when huge amounts of the other horses fell at that fence.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47There's Valentine's with three, the Water Jump with five,
0:33:47 > 0:33:50Canal Turn with nine, the Chair with 30, and right at the top,
0:33:50 > 0:33:52Becher's Brook on 46.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55Very well done if you said Foinavon at home.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58Thanks very much. The losing pair after the head-to-head,
0:33:58 > 0:34:03Mario and Geoff! Oh, you've done so well this afternoon!
0:34:03 > 0:34:07I betted on Foinavon, as well! 100 to one! 1966, wasn't it?
0:34:07 > 0:34:10- I had a sixpence win on that. - LAUGHTER
0:34:10 > 0:34:13HE LAUGHS
0:34:13 > 0:34:141967, it was.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17- '67!- Dear, oh, dear!
0:34:17 > 0:34:19Bad luck, guys.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22Bad luck. Well, you had two correct answers.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24- HE LAUGHS - Such a great shame,
0:34:24 > 0:34:28but it's been lovely for us, because we've had the pleasure of you
0:34:28 > 0:34:31- all the way to the head-to-head. Thank you for playing.- Thank you.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33Well done. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:34:33 > 0:34:37But for Andrew and Sue, it's now time for our Pointless final,
0:34:37 > 0:34:40and the chance to win our jackpot of £3,500.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49Well, many congratulations, Andrew and Sue.
0:34:49 > 0:34:53You've seen off the competition and won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:34:58 > 0:35:02You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:02 > 0:35:07At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £3,500.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09CHEERING
0:35:11 > 0:35:13The rules are very simple. To win that money,
0:35:13 > 0:35:15all you have to do is find a pointless answer,
0:35:15 > 0:35:18an answer none of our 100 people could think of.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21We haven't had any on the show today. You only have to find one
0:35:21 > 0:35:24to go home with that money. First you've got to choose a category
0:35:24 > 0:35:27from these three options.
0:35:32 > 0:35:35American fiction, wildlife or film awards.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38What do you think? American fiction could be anything.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40Wildlife could be anything.
0:35:40 > 0:35:43Film awards is not going to be the Oscars,
0:35:43 > 0:35:46- though it might be.- It might be. - You any good on wildlife?
0:35:46 > 0:35:49It depends. You pick.
0:35:49 > 0:35:54- So, what are you going to go for? - We're going to go for film awards.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57Film awards. OK. Very good. Let's find out what that question is.
0:35:57 > 0:36:01Before we do, what part of film awards would you like this to be?
0:36:01 > 0:36:04We'd be happiest if it's about the Oscars.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07- We might be happy. - We might have a chance at that.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10If it's any other film awards apart from the Oscars...
0:36:10 > 0:36:12- We might struggle.- We'll struggle.
0:36:12 > 0:36:15Let's find out. We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:36:15 > 0:36:21to name as many winners of the Palme d'Or
0:36:21 > 0:36:23as they could. Richard?
0:36:23 > 0:36:26We're looking for any film made for general cinema release
0:36:26 > 0:36:29which has won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes film festival
0:36:29 > 0:36:32from 1975 all the way through to 2010.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35Some years it was jointly awarded to more than one film,
0:36:35 > 0:36:38so we'll accept either answer. And for foreign-language films,
0:36:38 > 0:36:41you can give us the English name or the foreign name,
0:36:41 > 0:36:46- whichever is easiest. - OK. Thank you very much, Richard.
0:36:46 > 0:36:50You now have up to one minute to come up with three answers,
0:36:50 > 0:36:53and all you need to win that £3,500 is for one answer to be pointless.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56Your 60 seconds starts now.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58- OK. - SHE LAUGHS
0:36:58 > 0:37:00It's not the Oscars we were hoping for.
0:37:00 > 0:37:04- There's a Mike Leigh film which... - What's it called?
0:37:04 > 0:37:08- Secrets And Lies.- That sounds... I think there is a film called that.
0:37:08 > 0:37:10I know Mike Leigh won one at the Palme,
0:37:10 > 0:37:15at the Cannes film festival. I'm trying to think of directors.
0:37:15 > 0:37:16Scorsese...
0:37:16 > 0:37:20- Danny Boyle won anything there? - Possibly, yeah.
0:37:20 > 0:37:23- Slumdog Millionaire got one. - That's going to be high.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26- That'll score high, surely.- Um...
0:37:26 > 0:37:29- Polanski.- Which one?
0:37:31 > 0:37:33- The Pianist, possibly. - The Pianist?- Possibly.
0:37:33 > 0:37:37Pianist. I've got a vague recollection of Polanski
0:37:37 > 0:37:41getting an award, and all the fuss that was going on.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43Which one was the...
0:37:43 > 0:37:45Um...
0:37:45 > 0:37:50- Five seconds left.- The Pianist. - Shall we go for those three?
0:37:53 > 0:37:55OK, there's your time up.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58We were looking for winners of the Palme d'Or.
0:37:58 > 0:38:01- I now need your three answers. - Danny Boyle, Slumdog Millionaire.
0:38:01 > 0:38:05- OK. - Um, Mike Leigh, Secrets And Lies.
0:38:05 > 0:38:09- Secrets And Lies.- And The Pianist, Roman Polanski's film.
0:38:09 > 0:38:12The Pianist. OK. Of those three,
0:38:12 > 0:38:14which do you think's your most confident shot
0:38:14 > 0:38:17- at a pointless answer? - Possibly Mike Leigh.
0:38:17 > 0:38:19I'm sure Mike Leigh's won for that.
0:38:19 > 0:38:23OK. We'll put that third. Which is your least confident?
0:38:23 > 0:38:25- Slumdog.- Danny Boyle, Slumdog.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28Slumdog Millionaire first, The Pianist,
0:38:28 > 0:38:32then Secrets And Lies. We'll put them up on the board in that order.
0:38:37 > 0:38:41There they are. We were looking for winners of the Palme d'Or.
0:38:41 > 0:38:43You said this was your least confident answer.
0:38:43 > 0:38:46You only need one to be pointless to win that £3,500 jackpot.
0:38:46 > 0:38:49Let's see how many people said Slumdog Millionaire,
0:38:49 > 0:38:53and if it is a correct answer. Slumdog Millionaire.
0:38:56 > 0:38:58- Oh!- That's a good start.
0:38:58 > 0:39:03Bad luck. It was a bit of a punt, and anyway, to be honest,
0:39:03 > 0:39:06even if it had been right, that wouldn't have been pointless.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09Unfortunately that is not a pointless answer.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12You only have two more chances to win today's jackpot.
0:39:12 > 0:39:14£3,500! What would you do with that?
0:39:14 > 0:39:16Buy shoes.
0:39:16 > 0:39:21- A lot of shoes. A lot of shoes! - A lot of shoes, yeah.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23Andrew?
0:39:23 > 0:39:26I would take my son on a golf holiday.
0:39:26 > 0:39:30OK. How confident are you with The Pianist?
0:39:30 > 0:39:33I've just got this vision of Roman Polanski
0:39:33 > 0:39:35at the Cannes film festival,
0:39:35 > 0:39:39and I can't think what other film it could be, so...
0:39:39 > 0:39:44Do you think, if this is right, how far down do you think this will go?
0:39:44 > 0:39:46Could go... If it's right, could go low.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49Probably not low enough. But I'm not sure it's right.
0:39:49 > 0:39:52OK. We are looking for winners of the Palme d'Or.
0:39:52 > 0:39:57This is your next answer. You have gone for Roman Polanski's The Pianist.
0:39:57 > 0:40:01Let's see if it's right, and if it is, how many people said it.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04It has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot of £3,500.
0:40:04 > 0:40:07Let's see if it's right.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11It is right.
0:40:11 > 0:40:12It is right.
0:40:12 > 0:40:15How far down is it going to go?
0:40:15 > 0:40:18How many of our 100 people knew this? Into the 20s.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20- Into the teens. Into single figures. - Go, go, go!
0:40:21 > 0:40:24Oh! What about that?
0:40:24 > 0:40:26SHE LAUGHS
0:40:30 > 0:40:33- Ooh, that was exciting!- It was!
0:40:33 > 0:40:36One person! One person in our 100 people knew that.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38Oh, gosh!
0:40:38 > 0:40:42You shouldn't do that. That's awful, making us go through that.
0:40:42 > 0:40:45Unfortunately that wasn't a pointless answer.
0:40:45 > 0:40:49You only have one more chance to win today's jackpot of £3,500.
0:40:49 > 0:40:52Now you know that, what are you thinking?
0:40:52 > 0:40:55I don't know what I'm thinking any more.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58I was most confident of Secrets And Lies having won,
0:40:58 > 0:41:02so that's why we put it last. Um, so I really don't know.
0:41:02 > 0:41:04It's quite a recent film,
0:41:04 > 0:41:07so the same person who knows The Pianist
0:41:07 > 0:41:10will probably know the Mike Leigh question, so...
0:41:10 > 0:41:12- That's quite true.- It's QUITE true.
0:41:12 > 0:41:15- Only QUITE true.- If it's even right.
0:41:15 > 0:41:17That's if it's right. Exactly.
0:41:17 > 0:41:20We are looking for winners of the Palme d'Or.
0:41:20 > 0:41:23You said this was the answer you had most faith in.
0:41:23 > 0:41:26You're most confident of all your three answers
0:41:26 > 0:41:29that this would be pointless. Let's see if Secrets And Lies is right,
0:41:29 > 0:41:33and let's see if it'll win you that jackpot of £3,500.
0:41:33 > 0:41:35Secrets And Lies.
0:41:43 > 0:41:45It's right.
0:41:45 > 0:41:46It's right.
0:41:46 > 0:41:49- Very, very well done. - Come on!- Secrets And Lies.
0:41:49 > 0:41:52Will it go all the way down to zero?
0:41:52 > 0:41:55If it does, you will win £3,500.
0:41:55 > 0:41:58- Yeah! - CHEERING
0:41:58 > 0:42:01Very, very well played.
0:42:01 > 0:42:05Absolutely brilliant!
0:42:05 > 0:42:08- Very well done indeed. - Well done, you!
0:42:08 > 0:42:10Well done!
0:42:10 > 0:42:14- That was you. - Oh, congratulations!- That was him.
0:42:14 > 0:42:18Well, you managed to find that all-important pointless answer.
0:42:18 > 0:42:22Well done! Which means you go home with that jackpot of £3,500.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25- Thank you. - CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:42:28 > 0:42:32- Brilliant. Richard, what about that? - Yeah, fantastic.
0:42:32 > 0:42:36You both played wonderfully. Secrets And Lies is a brilliant answer.
0:42:36 > 0:42:39There's a whole bunch of pointless answers. Let's look at a few.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42All That Jazz, Barton Fink, the Coen brothers movie,
0:42:42 > 0:42:46Dancer In The Dark, Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11,
0:42:46 > 0:42:49Paris, Texas, Mike Leigh's Secrets And Lies
0:42:49 > 0:42:52that has just won you the money, Sex, Lies And Videotape,
0:42:52 > 0:42:55The Mission... The Piano, Jane Campion's film,
0:42:55 > 0:42:58would have won you the money as well, so lots of pointless answers there,
0:42:58 > 0:43:02but you played brilliantly throughout. Seems a long time ago
0:43:02 > 0:43:05we were talking about the coalition cabinet, doesn't it?
0:43:05 > 0:43:07Well, thanks once again to our winning players,
0:43:07 > 0:43:12Andrew and Sue, who go away with today's jackpot of £3,500.
0:43:12 > 0:43:15- Very well done. - CHEERING
0:43:19 > 0:43:23Join us next time, when we'll be putting more obscure knowledge to the test.
0:43:23 > 0:43:27- Meanwhile, goodbye from Richard... - Goodbye.- And from me. Goodbye.
