0:00:18 > 0:00:20APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:25 > 0:00:28I'm Alexander Armstrong and a warm welcome to Pointless,
0:00:28 > 0:00:30the quiz where popular answers mean nothing
0:00:30 > 0:00:32and obscure answers mean everything.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34Let's meet today's players.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41Welcome back, Abi and Tracy. You were on the show last time.
0:00:41 > 0:00:45Everyone gets two chances to reach the final and this is your second chance.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48- Remind us how you did.- We got knocked out in the first round.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51But I'm going to stop you right there!
0:00:51 > 0:00:55Don't infer from that anything other than that these two are brilliant.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57- They're going all the way. - Oh, bless you.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00- What do you do in your spare time, Abi?- Various random stuff
0:01:00 > 0:01:04but I play table-top war gaming with my husband and some friends.
0:01:04 > 0:01:10- Table-top war-gaming. - Yes. We play... It's not even Civil War war-gaming.- OK.
0:01:10 > 0:01:15It's more random than that, things like space men and aliens and stuff.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18- Tracy, how about you? - I don't play war games.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21I play a lot of hidden object games on the computer,
0:01:21 > 0:01:24where you look for things that shouldn't be there.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28- Wow.- I have to say...- I know a lot of people play that game.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32I often look for things that shouldn't be there on the computer.
0:01:33 > 0:01:38Yeah. Well, very, very best of luck to the pair of you this afternoon.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42- Two of the most obscure hobbies... - Yes.- ..I've yet to unearth
0:01:42 > 0:01:44on this delightful show.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47OK, we welcome back Patrick and Chris next.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50You were on the last show. Remind us how you did?
0:01:50 > 0:01:52We got knocked out in the second round
0:01:52 > 0:01:55and I think it was a Canadian question that I got
0:01:55 > 0:01:56and Chris should have had that one.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00- Because, Chris, you are a Canadian. - Who told?- Yeah.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03- Yeah, well, we worked it out, didn't we, I mean, your accent.- Yeah.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05Yes. We were on to you.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08What do you hope will come up, Chris?
0:02:08 > 0:02:11History, politics, geography - those would be great.
0:02:11 > 0:02:15- Very good. And Patrick, how about you?- I'm not too bad on sport.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19Television, theatre - you know, any of those.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Well, very best of luck to the pair of you.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Next we welcome Trisha and Ernie. How do you two know each other?
0:02:24 > 0:02:28Hi. We've been friends, Xander, for about 22 years, now.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30My boys played at a local cricket club
0:02:30 > 0:02:33and they were really desperate for players.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35My lads dragged their father out of retirement
0:02:35 > 0:02:40and somebody else press-ganged Ernie out of retirement,
0:02:40 > 0:02:44so we all met and hit it off with each other's spouses
0:02:44 > 0:02:45and we're here today.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48- Very good. What do you do, Ernie? - Mechanical engineer.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Very good. And what are your interests?
0:02:51 > 0:02:56I like reading books. I usually have two or three on the go at once.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Very good. Different kinds or...?
0:02:58 > 0:03:01Yeah, autobiographies, fictional -
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Dan Brown kind of things, I love those.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07Decorating. I've been decorating my daughter's house for what seems like years.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11- And...- Have you got a book there, as well?
0:03:11 > 0:03:14At the daughter's house? No. No chance of a book there, no.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16Too busy working there.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Well, very best of luck. It's great to have you here.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Finally, we have got Roy and Thomas. How do you two know each other?
0:03:22 > 0:03:25We're a father and son team from Croydon.
0:03:25 > 0:03:30Now, Thomas, what would you say is father's area of expertise?
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Mm, well, I think he's pretty good at '80s music,
0:03:33 > 0:03:37- all the sort of terrible stuff that I never listen to.- Mm-hm.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40He's pretty good at geography, sort of pretty good at history, as well.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44- He's got decent all-round knowledge. - OK. Roy, how about Thomas?
0:03:44 > 0:03:46It should be history.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50He studies that at university, so he should be pretty good on that.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53OK, we shall discover. Very best of luck to you.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55We'll find out more as we go.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57There is only one person left to introduce.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01He spends his weekends trawling the internet for obscure facts
0:04:01 > 0:04:03and probably plenty else.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05He's my Pointless friend, he's Richard.
0:04:05 > 0:04:06Hiya. APPLAUSE
0:04:09 > 0:04:14- Hello.- Richard, how are you? - I'm very, very well, yeah.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16We've got two returning pairs today.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19Neither of them showed their best, I think, last time.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21We've got a lot of clever people.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Ernie's a mechanical engineer, Abi's a forensic scientist,
0:04:24 > 0:04:28we've got two history students, all sorts of things going on.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30It should be a very strong show.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33And Abi and Tracy, when you put their name tags together,
0:04:33 > 0:04:36are A Bit Racy.
0:04:37 > 0:04:38I'm sure I don't know what you mean.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42Very good. We put all our questions to 100 people before the show
0:04:42 > 0:04:46but on Pointless, we are after the obscure answers that they didn't get.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Everyone is looking to find a Pointless answer,
0:04:49 > 0:04:51an answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Each time that happens we add £250 to the jackpot.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58Nobody won the jackpot last time, so we add another £1,000 to that,
0:04:58 > 0:05:02so today's jackpot starts off at £8,250.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04WHOOPING
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Very respectable.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Right, let's play Pointless.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14APPLAUSE
0:05:15 > 0:05:18OK, in the first round, each of you must give me one answer
0:05:18 > 0:05:19and you cannot confer.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23The team with the highest score at the end of the round will be eliminated.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26OK. Our first category this afternoon is:
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Decide who's going to go first, who's going to go second
0:05:32 > 0:05:35and whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41OK, let's find out what the question is.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:05:43 > 0:05:48to name as many wind instruments as they could.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50The correct answers will be musical instruments
0:05:50 > 0:05:53that can be played by blowing air through them.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57- OK. Right. A Bit Racy... - LAUGHTER
0:05:57 > 0:06:01..you all drew lots and this afternoon, you get to go first.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03We're going to give you a choice
0:06:03 > 0:06:07of seven possible answers in each pass.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Your first set of seven answers looks like this.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20I'll read those one more time.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28At least one of those answers is pointless
0:06:28 > 0:06:30but do be careful
0:06:30 > 0:06:33because there is at least one incorrect answer amongst those seven.
0:06:33 > 0:06:38If you pick one of those you will score the maximum of 100 points.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42Tracy, wind instruments. A subject dear to your heart.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44- Not at all.- Really?- No.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47I'm going to say piccolo.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50- A piccolo. Do you know what a piccolo is?- Yes.
0:06:50 > 0:06:51It's a teeny-tiny flute.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55It is a teeny-tiny flute. Let's see how many people said piccolo.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Very good.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06- APPLAUSE - Very good. Piccolo scores you 25.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10- Piccolo, Richard. - Well played, Tracy.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13It's full name is a flauto piccolo, which is as you say, "little flute".
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Thanks very much. Now, then, Patrick.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19Erm, I was going to actually go piccolo.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22It's irritating it's gone now.
0:07:22 > 0:07:23LAUGHTER
0:07:25 > 0:07:29Er, I think I'm going to play safe and go clarinet.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Play safe. Clarinet.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Let's see if it's right and if it is, how many people said clarinet.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38It's correct.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40- 67. - APPLAUSE
0:07:43 > 0:07:4567 for clarinet, Richard.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Yeah, a very big score, 67 for clarinet.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50It had its roots in Middle Eastern instruments
0:07:50 > 0:07:53but has been popular in Europe from the early 18th century.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56- Very good, Patrick. Now, then, Trisha.- Hi.- We come to you.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00We're looking for wind instruments. Do play any instruments at all?
0:08:00 > 0:08:03No. My sons have done but none of those.
0:08:03 > 0:08:09- Right. Any of those instruments. - I think I'll go for the ocarina.
0:08:09 > 0:08:15- Do you know what an ocarina is? - I think it's a funny shaped thing that you blow across.
0:08:15 > 0:08:16OK.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20Let's see if ocarina's a right answer. It could be a brilliant answer.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24Let's see if ocarina's correct and if it is, how many people said it.
0:08:24 > 0:08:25Good luck, Trisha.
0:08:26 > 0:08:27It's right.
0:08:28 > 0:08:33Very well done. Down it goes. It's going all the way down, I feel.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35- Yes, and it is! - CHEERING
0:08:35 > 0:08:38Very well done.
0:08:39 > 0:08:40Ocarina is a pointless answer.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42It adds 250 quid to today's jackpot,
0:08:42 > 0:08:46taking the total up to £8,500
0:08:46 > 0:08:48and more importantly, it scores you nothing.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51- Ocarina, Richard.- Well played, Trisha. What a great start.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55It's a little ovoid-shaped terracotta or plastic instrument.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58Sales have rocketed since it was featured in Legend of Zelda,
0:08:58 > 0:08:59Ocarina Of Time,
0:08:59 > 0:09:04and anybody with a child of a certain age will be bored with that.
0:09:04 > 0:09:09And the ocarina of time is blowing on, so we'll get back to the game.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Thomas, we are looking for wind instruments.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16You're the last person to have this board, so you can talk us through it.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19- I was going to go with ocarina. - Because of Princess Zelda.- Yes.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21It's the best game ever.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24- Oh, it's a game.- You see? - It's a game.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27- What did you think it was?- I thought it was a programme on telly.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30All right, Granddad.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36- Thomas, I beg your pardon, you were saying.- That's all right.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39That's annoying because I would have got a pointless.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43- Well done to Trisha.- I said there was at least one pointless answer.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47- Yeah.- There's nothing to say there isn't another pointless answer.
0:09:47 > 0:09:5225, 67 - there are some lower scores than that on the board, Thomas!
0:09:52 > 0:09:56- Come on!- I was pretty much banking on ocarina being left till the end.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58No point crying over split milk now.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02Trisha's had ocarina, she's taken it, we've celebrated the pointless.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06There might be another one. Talk us through the board.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09OK, French horn is pretty obviously a wind instrument.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12- Mm-hm.- But that's where my knowledge ends.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14I'm not too sure on the other three.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17I'm going to go with French horn.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20I don't want to risk it and get an incorrect answer. Sorry.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23OK, you're going to go with French horn.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Let's see how many people said French horn.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30It's correct.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37- APPLAUSE - That scores you 16.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44- 16 for French horn. Richard. - Yeah, a very low score.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47Very well done. A good answer. Let's look at the rest of them.
0:10:47 > 0:10:51The cor anglais or the English horn, which is neither English nor a horn,
0:10:51 > 0:10:53would have scored you four points.
0:10:53 > 0:10:58The sousaphone, named after John Philip Sousa, kind of a tuba,
0:10:58 > 0:11:02would have scored you one, so well done if you said that,
0:11:02 > 0:11:05and by a process of elimination, mawashi is an incorrect answer.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09Mawashi is the thick cloth worn by sumo wrestlers
0:11:09 > 0:11:14and I would not advise blowing air through that, if I were you.
0:11:14 > 0:11:20- Oh. Mind you, I bet they see a fair bit of wind.- Yeah.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22OK, let's take a look at the scores.
0:11:22 > 0:11:27On a fabulous zero, Trisha and Ernie. Look at that!
0:11:27 > 0:11:31Brilliant start, brilliant start, to your Pointless campaign.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35Then we come up to Thomas and Roy on 16. Not bad at all.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Then up to Tracy and Abi on 25
0:11:38 > 0:11:41and then, oh, dear, Patrick - 67.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Chris, you know what you have to do.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45You have to hope somebody scores incorrectly
0:11:45 > 0:11:47and you have to score extremely low.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51OK, can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:11:54 > 0:11:59We are looking for wind instruments and here is our next set of answers.
0:12:07 > 0:12:08I'll read those again.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17And again, at least one of those answers in pointless
0:12:17 > 0:12:19but at least one of them is incorrect,
0:12:19 > 0:12:22so avoid those at all costs.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24- Now, then, Roy.- OK.
0:12:24 > 0:12:29So we've got a bit of Scottish heritage in our ancestry,
0:12:29 > 0:12:31so I can see fife, there,
0:12:31 > 0:12:35- so I feel drawn to that. - Have you been to Fife?
0:12:35 > 0:12:39I have, yes, St Andrews, which is in Fife.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41- Beautiful, eh? - Yeah, it's nice, it's nice.
0:12:41 > 0:12:46So, yeah, I'm drawn towards that, so I'm going to go for the fife.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49For fife. Have you any idea what a fife might be?
0:12:49 > 0:12:54I hope that it's some sort of little whistly thing that you blow into.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57- I think you might be spot on. - I might be I don't know.- OK.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01There is your red line - below it, you're through to the next round.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Let's see how many people said it. Fife.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Very well done.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09Yep, you're through to the next round.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:13:14 > 0:13:18More than that, fife is a pointless answer.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20It adds £250 to today's jackpot,
0:13:20 > 0:13:23taking the total up to £8,750
0:13:23 > 0:13:27and it scores you nothing, leaving you with a total of 16.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30- Richard, a fife?- Very well played, Roy, you're safely through.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32The fife dates from the 12th century.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36It's a precursor to the piccolo, a small, high-pitched flute,
0:13:36 > 0:13:39- often associated with the military, as well, of course.- Indeed.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42- The fife and drum.- Accompanied by a drum.- Yeah.- OK, thank you.
0:13:42 > 0:13:47Now, Ernie. Trisha managed to score nothing in the first pass.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50The high scorers are Chris and Patrick on 67.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52If you can score 66 or less,
0:13:52 > 0:13:55you are straight through to the next round.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57We are looking for instruments that you can blow.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01- What are you going to say? - I'll go for oboe.
0:14:01 > 0:14:02- You'll go for oboe.- Yeah.
0:14:03 > 0:14:07OK, there is your red line. If you get below that red line with oboe,
0:14:07 > 0:14:09you are through to the next round.
0:14:09 > 0:14:13Let's see if oboe's right and if it is, how people said it. Oboe.
0:14:14 > 0:14:15It's right.
0:14:16 > 0:14:17Very well done, Ernie.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21- APPLAUSE - 56. That did everything you needed to do.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24It takes your total up to 56.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28- Richard?- Well done. 56 is a high score but not as high as clarinet,
0:14:28 > 0:14:31largely, I think, because clarinet players are deemed
0:14:31 > 0:14:34to be more intelligent and more good looking than oboe players.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37You, coincidentally, play the oboe, don't you?
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Yes.
0:14:39 > 0:14:44- Yes, yes.- Are you proficient? - I haven't played it for a long time.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46I used to play it quite proficiently.
0:14:46 > 0:14:53Thanks very much, Richard. Chris, you are the high scorers on 67.
0:14:53 > 0:14:58Well, I used to play the trumpet and that's very close to a cornet,
0:14:58 > 0:15:00so I'm going to pick that.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02You're going to pick the cornet.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04OK, let's see if the cornet is right
0:15:04 > 0:15:07and if so, let's see how many people said it. The cornet.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10There's no red line because you are the high scorers.
0:15:12 > 0:15:13It's right.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21- APPLAUSE - Very well done. That's a great answer, Chris.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24It scores you 12. It takes you up to 79.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26- Richard.- Good answer, Chris.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30The cornet was invented when they added valves to a post horn.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Very good. Now, Abi, we come to you. 25 is your score,
0:15:33 > 0:15:36thanks to Tracy's answer of piccolo in the first pass.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39The high scorers are Patrick and Chris on 79.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42If you can manage to score 53 or less with this answer,
0:15:42 > 0:15:44you are through to the next round.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47You're the last person to have this board,
0:15:47 > 0:15:49so, please, dive in and help yourself.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51I've got a bit of a quandary going on
0:15:51 > 0:15:56because there's one up there that I'd like to take a risk on
0:15:56 > 0:15:59but that banjaxed me well and truly last time, so...
0:15:59 > 0:16:02- The banjax.- Banjax. - Not on the board, that one.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06So I don't know whether I want to play it safe or...
0:16:06 > 0:16:08I'm going to try euphonium.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10You're going for euphonium.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13If you score 53 or less, you're through to the next round.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16There is your red line. Let's see if euphonium is right
0:16:16 > 0:16:19and if it is, how many people said euphonium.
0:16:23 > 0:16:24Oh, God!
0:16:25 > 0:16:27Well done. You're through!
0:16:30 > 0:16:32CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:16:34 > 0:16:39Euphonium scores you two. It takes your total up to 27.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41- Richard.- Good answer, Abi.
0:16:41 > 0:16:45Euphonium, from the Greek "euphonos", which means sweet voiced.
0:16:45 > 0:16:46Let's take a look at the rest.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49Bassoon would have scored you 26 points.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52Now, francophone and Saxa Vord. What do you think?
0:16:52 > 0:16:56Francophone is a linguistic thing, rather than a...
0:16:56 > 0:16:59Absolutely right. A francophone is somebody who speaks French.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03Do you think Saxa Vord is pointless or incorrect?
0:17:03 > 0:17:06I'm going... I don't think that's an instrument.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09Saxa Vord is the place in the Shetlands
0:17:09 > 0:17:13where they believe the highest ever wind speed in the UK was recorded.
0:17:15 > 0:17:20They believe it. They don't for sure because it blew the instrument that was recording it over.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24- LAUGHTER - Wow. Thank you very much, Richard.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28At the end of round one, the losing pair is Patrick and Chris.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31Very, very bad luck there, guys.
0:17:31 > 0:17:36- What categories would you have liked to have come up? - You'd have liked geography.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40- Geography and history. - Patrick, how about you?
0:17:40 > 0:17:43Geography also would have been a good subject
0:17:43 > 0:17:48or anything television but, yeah, theatre, as well.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50I'm sorry that we have to say goodbye to you.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53- Excellent contestants. Thank you for playing. - APPLAUSE
0:17:56 > 0:18:00But for the remaining three pairs, it's time for round two.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07Only two pairs can make it through to the head to head,
0:18:07 > 0:18:10so one team will be leaving at the end of this round.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13The category for round two this afternoon is:
0:18:15 > 0:18:19Can you decide who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:18:19 > 0:18:23And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:25 > 0:18:31OK, our round two question this afternoon concerns fictional places of work.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34We're about to show you a list of fictional places of work.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38We asked 100 people to tell us in which TV shows they feature.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42- Richard.- We're going to show you six places of work on each pass.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44The more obscure ones will score you fewer points.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48An incorrect answer, the wrong programme, will score 100 points.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50See how many you can get at home.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54So we are looking for the TV shows in which these places of work feature.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56And we have got:
0:19:07 > 0:19:09I'll read all of those again.
0:19:19 > 0:19:24As always, you are looking for the answer that the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:19:24 > 0:19:28OK, Abi, which one are you going to choose?
0:19:28 > 0:19:32- Is this something that you feel...? - One epically rings a bell
0:19:32 > 0:19:34but I'm not feeling it
0:19:34 > 0:19:38so I'm really sorry, Tracy, I'm going to have to play it safe
0:19:38 > 0:19:43and I'm going to go with Sun Hill police station for The Bill.
0:19:44 > 0:19:45Sun Hill police station, The Bill.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49Let's see if that is indeed The Bill and let's how many people knew.
0:19:52 > 0:19:56- Oh, my word.- 82, Abi. 82. - APPLAUSE
0:19:59 > 0:20:02That's quite a high score, unsurprisingly. Richard. The Bill.
0:20:02 > 0:20:06Yeah, a big, big score. From 1984, all the way through to 2010.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09It survived three explosions in that time, Sun Hill.
0:20:09 > 0:20:15- Trisha.- Right. I'm also going to play it a little bit easy
0:20:15 > 0:20:19and I'm going for the Springfield nuclear power plant.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22- And that is? - I'm hoping it's The Simpsons.
0:20:22 > 0:20:26The Simpsons. OK. Let's see if that's right.
0:20:26 > 0:20:30Springfield nuclear power plant, The Simpsons.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32How many people knew that answer?
0:20:35 > 0:20:37- 74.- Quite high. - APPLAUSE
0:20:40 > 0:20:44- It's another high score. 74. - Another very big score.
0:20:44 > 0:20:49Roy, you're the last person to have this board, so you can talk us through all the answers.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53Yeah, I think Wernham Hogg paper merchants,
0:20:53 > 0:20:57I seem to remember The Office was set in a paper merchants'.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01I'm going to go for something a little bit further back in time than that.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04I'm going to go for Whitbury Leisure Centre
0:21:04 > 0:21:09and I hope that was where the Brittas Empire was set.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13Very good. The Whitbury Leisure Centre, the Brittas Empire.
0:21:13 > 0:21:18Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said it.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28- Very, very well done, Roy. - APPLAUSE
0:21:28 > 0:21:33The Brittas Empire scores you only seven points.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37- Fantastic answer, there. Richard. - It's the best answer on the board.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40Very good answer. Well done at home if you said Brittas Empire.
0:21:40 > 0:21:44Let's fill in the others. Wernham Hogg, you're right, was The Office.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46That would have scored you 15.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48The Blue Moon detective agency, Xander?
0:21:48 > 0:21:51- Moonlighting, is it?- Exactly right.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53That would have scored 26.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57And Sunshine Desserts, The Fall And Rose Of Reginald Perrin, would have scored 17.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00Let's take a look at the scores as they stand.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04On seven points, Roy and Thomas. Look at that!
0:22:04 > 0:22:06Way ahead of the field.
0:22:06 > 0:22:10Then a long way in front of you, Trisha and Ernie on 74
0:22:10 > 0:22:13and then a little bit ahead of you on 82, Abi and Tracy.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16So, Tracy and Ernie, you have your work cut out in the next pass.
0:22:16 > 0:22:21OK, can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:22:25 > 0:22:29OK, we're going to put six more fictional places of work on the board and we have got:
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Let me read those one more time.
0:22:50 > 0:22:55We're looking for the TV shows in which these feature
0:22:55 > 0:22:58and you're trying to find the one that the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00Thomas, what are you thinking?
0:23:00 > 0:23:03I'm toying between two answers.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07But I think I'm going to go with Mode magazine.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11My brother is quite a big fan of the programme that it's on.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14I'll embarrass him by saying that. I think it's Ugly Betty.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17- I'm pretty sure it's Ugly Betty. - OK, Ugly Betty, Mode magazine.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19That could be a very good answer.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Here is your red line. If you get below that with Ugly Betty,
0:23:22 > 0:23:25you are through to the head to head.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28Let's see if Mode magazine is Ugly Betty and how many people said it.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Very well done.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37- APPLAUSE - 28.
0:23:39 > 0:23:4228 that scores you. That takes your total up to 35.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45- Richard.- Well played, Thomas. You're quite a team, there.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48It's based on a Colombian telenovela
0:23:48 > 0:23:51which is called I'm Betty, The Ugly One.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53OK, we are looking for the programmes
0:23:53 > 0:23:56in which these fictional places of work feature.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Ernie, Trisha.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01The high scorers are still Tracy and Abi on 82.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05You are on 74. If you, Ernie, can score seven points or less,
0:24:05 > 0:24:07you're through to the next round.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10There's one I certainly do know the answer to.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12There's two that I'm unsure of
0:24:12 > 0:24:17and I'm hoping I'm going to nick the one that Tracy might know also.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19So Maplin's holiday camp, Hi-de-Hi!
0:24:19 > 0:24:23Maplin's holiday camp, Hi-de-Hi! There it is, second from the top.
0:24:23 > 0:24:27There is your red line. It's quite a long way down.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30If you get below that red line, you are through to the head to head.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34Maplin's holiday camp, Hi-de-Hi! Let's see how many people knew that.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41Oh, that's an expensive one, Ernie.
0:24:41 > 0:24:4568, that scores you. That takes your total up to 142.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48- Richard.- As you say, it's not 100 but it's a big score.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51It ran from 1980 to 1988.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54OK, now, then, Tracy. You are on 82.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57You were the high scorers, you're no longer the high scorers.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00Ernie and Trisha have taken that mantle from you.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04If you can score 59 or less, you are through to the head to head.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06I think you can probably do it, Tracy.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08Talk us through the board.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11Erm... I know one, I think.
0:25:11 > 0:25:12Erm...
0:25:12 > 0:25:15But I'm going to take a slight risk. Why not?
0:25:15 > 0:25:19I'm going to say Monsoon PR, Absolutely Fabulous.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22Monsoon PR, Absolutely Fabulous.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25If you can score 59 or less, you are through to the next round.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Here's your red line.
0:25:27 > 0:25:31Let's see if Monsoon PR from Absolutely Fabulous gets you below it.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33Good luck.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37- Well done!- Yes!
0:25:39 > 0:25:42Very well done, indeed, Tracy. That's a great score.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46Monsoon PR scores you seven and takes your total up to 89.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51- Richard.- Yeah, it's the best answer on the board.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54Jennifer Saunders' character is Eddie Monsoon,
0:25:54 > 0:25:57taken from her husband Ade Edmondson's surname.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59Let's fill in the rest of the board.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02Do you know County General Hospital, Chicago?
0:26:02 > 0:26:05- I believe that's ER. - ER, exactly right.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07That would have scored you 31 points.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11- Globelink News?- Drop The Dead Donkey. - That would have scored you 13.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14- And Cage, Fish & Associates? - I don't know.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17- Anyone there know that one? - Ally McBeal.- Exactly right.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20That would have scored you 10. Monsoon PR, the best answer.
0:26:20 > 0:26:24- Very well done if you got that. - Thanks very much, Richard.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26So at the end of round two, the losing pair,
0:26:26 > 0:26:29I'm afraid, Ernie and Trisha, it's you.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31Nothing shaming in your answers there
0:26:31 > 0:26:33but they were quite high-scoring.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36- What would you have liked to have come up?- '60s music.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39- '60s music.- And '70s music. - And '70s music.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43Well, you'll be back next time, when I hope all of these come up.
0:26:43 > 0:26:47- You've been fantastic. Thank you for playing.- Thank you.
0:26:47 > 0:26:48APPLAUSE
0:26:51 > 0:26:54For the remaining two pairs, things get even more exciting
0:26:54 > 0:26:56as we enter the head to head.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06Very well done, Roy and Thomas, Abi and Tracy,
0:27:06 > 0:27:08you've made it through to the head to head.
0:27:08 > 0:27:14Only one pair can make it to the final and play for the jackpot, which currently stands at £8,750.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16WHOOPING
0:27:18 > 0:27:21Now you're going head to head on the best of three questions.
0:27:21 > 0:27:26For each question, each pair needs to give me just one answer and you may now confer.
0:27:26 > 0:27:31If you come up with an answer that scores less than the other pair, you win that question.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34The pair who get the best of three will play for today's jackpot.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37Let's play Pointless.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43OK, here is your first question.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:27:46 > 0:27:50to name as many Jam singles as they could.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53We're looking for any single released by the Jam
0:27:53 > 0:27:57that entered the UK top 40 up to the start of 2011.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00There are 21 singles on the list.
0:28:00 > 0:28:04Where a single was a double A side, we will accept an either or both answer.
0:28:04 > 0:28:08Roy and Thomas, you've played best so far, you get to go first.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10- Any at all?- I don't know one.
0:28:12 > 0:28:17OK, I'm going to go for A Town Called Malice.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21Abi and Tracy, what are you going to go for?
0:28:21 > 0:28:22- You can think out loud.- Yeah.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25I used to really like the Jam when I was younger
0:28:25 > 0:28:29- but they've all fell out of my head. - Oh, no!- Erm...
0:28:29 > 0:28:32- I still reckon you know more than I do.- Yeah. Erm...
0:28:33 > 0:28:35I'm going to say Going Underground.
0:28:35 > 0:28:39OK, we have A Town Called Malice and we have Going Underground.
0:28:39 > 0:28:43In the order they've been given, we have Roy and Thomas, A Town Called Malice.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46Let's see if that's right and let's see how many people said that.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48Very well done.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55- 19. - APPLAUSE
0:28:58 > 0:29:02A very good answer. Abi and Tracy, you've gone for going underground.
0:29:02 > 0:29:05Let's see how many people said that.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13- 29. - APPLAUSE
0:29:15 > 0:29:19So after our first question, it is one-nil to Roy and Thomas.
0:29:19 > 0:29:21- Richard. - Yeah, both number one singles.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24They're the two biggest-scoring answers on the list.
0:29:24 > 0:29:26There is a pointless answer.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29From 1982, Just Who Is The Five O'clock Hero.
0:29:29 > 0:29:32Dreams Of Children was a double A side with Going Underground.
0:29:32 > 0:29:35A Bomb in Wardour Street, also one. Precious, two.
0:29:35 > 0:29:38Strange Town, David Watts, Absolute Beginners, all on three.
0:29:38 > 0:29:42When You're Young, also three. Funeral Pyre, four.
0:29:42 > 0:29:45The Bitterest Pill, five. All of them would have won the point.
0:29:45 > 0:29:49News Of The World, five. Down In The Tube Station At Midnight, five.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52All Around The World, also five. Start, six. Another number one.
0:29:52 > 0:29:56The Modern World, six. Beat Surrender another number one, nine.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59Eton Rifles, ten. That's Entertainment and In The City, 11.
0:29:59 > 0:30:01And there's your two answers there.
0:30:01 > 0:30:03A Town Called Malice, 19,
0:30:03 > 0:30:04and Going Underground, 29.
0:30:04 > 0:30:08OK, very well done. So, here is your second question.
0:30:08 > 0:30:17We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many oceans as they could.
0:30:17 > 0:30:19Oceans. Richard?
0:30:19 > 0:30:21Yeah, we're looking for any of the five oceans
0:30:21 > 0:30:25as recognised by the International Hydrographic Organization.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28Now, whoever wins this point, it could be very, very important.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31Abi and Tracy, you have to win this to stay in the game.
0:30:31 > 0:30:36If Roy and Thomas win this question, they are through to the final.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38OK, Abi and Tracy, you go first.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40What is it going to be?
0:30:40 > 0:30:42THEY WHISPER
0:30:42 > 0:30:49Right, OK. We're going to have a crack at Antarctic Ocean.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51- Antarctic Ocean.- Yes.- OK.
0:30:51 > 0:30:55Antarctic Ocean. Roy and Thomas?
0:30:56 > 0:30:59I probably think that was the best answer, actually. Erm...
0:31:00 > 0:31:03- We might have to go to the other pole, I think.- Yeah.
0:31:03 > 0:31:07- I think that's...- Go on, you say it. - The Arctic Ocean.
0:31:07 > 0:31:08- Ooh!- The Arctic Ocean.
0:31:08 > 0:31:12We have the Antarctic Ocean and we have the Arctic Ocean.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15Abi and Tracy, Antarctic Ocean first.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22It's right.
0:31:27 > 0:31:28- Eleven. - APPLAUSE
0:31:33 > 0:31:36And Roy and Thomas have gone for the Arctic Ocean.
0:31:36 > 0:31:40Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many people said that.
0:31:41 > 0:31:42It's right.
0:31:47 > 0:31:4933.
0:31:51 > 0:31:55Very well done. So after two questions, it is one point apiece.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57- Richard.- Yeah, the best two answers, actually.
0:31:57 > 0:32:01The Antarctic or Southern Ocean is at the bottom of the list.
0:32:01 > 0:32:02The Arctic has 33.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05Then the Indian, 87, very big scores on this.
0:32:05 > 0:32:09Pacific, 90, and Atlantic, a huge 99.
0:32:09 > 0:32:13Thanks very much, Richard. OK, and here is your third question.
0:32:13 > 0:32:17Whoever wins this question is through to the final
0:32:17 > 0:32:19to play for that massive jackpot.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21OK, here it is. Good luck.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:32:24 > 0:32:30to name as many Rovers Return landlords and landladies as they could.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32We're looking for any character
0:32:32 > 0:32:36who has owned or held the licence on the Rovers Return since the show's launch in 1960
0:32:36 > 0:32:38all the way through to the start of 2011.
0:32:38 > 0:32:42Where it's been jointly owned, we're only looking for one of those names.
0:32:42 > 0:32:47OK, now, Roy and Thomas, you go first.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49THEY WHISPER
0:32:50 > 0:32:53- OK.- OK, Roy, do you watch Coronation Street?
0:32:53 > 0:32:58- The expression my face, I think, registers that I don't. - Right, right, OK.
0:32:58 > 0:33:03But I believe, possibly, Bet Lynch may have been
0:33:03 > 0:33:06one of the most notorious landladies of the Rovers Return.
0:33:06 > 0:33:10- Not a good thing in this competition. - Bet Lynch, you are saying.
0:33:10 > 0:33:14Abi and Tracy, are either of you Corrie watchers?
0:33:14 > 0:33:16- No!- No!
0:33:16 > 0:33:20- This is music, beautifully sung, if I might say...- Why, thank you.
0:33:20 > 0:33:21..to Roy and Thomas' ears.
0:33:21 > 0:33:25Erm, I could actually cry. Erm...
0:33:25 > 0:33:27- I'll... Alec Gilroy.- Yeah.
0:33:27 > 0:33:31- We're going to try Alec Gilroy, please, Alexander.- Alec Gilroy.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33We have Bet Lynch, we have Alec Gilroy.
0:33:33 > 0:33:37- Is this a complete stab in the dark? - Yeah.- Pretty much.
0:33:38 > 0:33:42OK, Bet Lynch. Let's take Bet Lynch first
0:33:42 > 0:33:46and see if Roy and Thomas are right and how many people said Bet Lynch.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53- 58 for Bet Lynch. - APPLAUSE
0:33:56 > 0:34:02And now, Abi and Tracy, A Bit Racy, have said Alec Gilroy.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05Let's see if that's right and how many people said Alec Gilroy.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08This will decide who goes through to the final
0:34:08 > 0:34:10to play for our jackpot.
0:34:16 > 0:34:17It's right.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20And it beats Bet Lynch.
0:34:23 > 0:34:24- Very well done. - APPLAUSE
0:34:27 > 0:34:29Alec Gilroy wins that
0:34:29 > 0:34:32and that means that after three questions...
0:34:32 > 0:34:36Abi and Tracy are through to the final, two-one.
0:34:36 > 0:34:40- Richard?- Much to the surprise of Abi and Tracy, I think.- Absolutely. - Shut up!
0:34:40 > 0:34:44A very good answer. He lent Bet Lynch the money to buy the tenancy
0:34:44 > 0:34:47but they later married and he ran the pub with her.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50There are 14 Rovers Return landladies and landlords.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53Natalie Barnes, Duggie Ferguson, they were pointless answers.
0:34:53 > 0:34:56Very well done if you said them at home.
0:34:56 > 0:34:57Mike Baldwin on one.
0:34:57 > 0:34:59Eve Elliott and Billy Walker, also on one.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02Jack Walker and Fred Elliott on three.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05There's Alec Gilroy on seven. A very good answer.
0:35:05 > 0:35:06Annie Walker, 11.
0:35:06 > 0:35:09Vera and Jack, of course - Vera Duckworth, 17, Jack, 19.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12Steve McDonald 31, Liz McDonald, 37,
0:35:12 > 0:35:16and right at the top, as you predicted, Roy, Bet Lynch at 58.
0:35:16 > 0:35:18So the losing pair at the end of the head to head,
0:35:18 > 0:35:22I'm afraid to say, it's Roy and Thomas. Bad luck.
0:35:22 > 0:35:26- They pulled it out of the hat, though.- I don't know where from.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28Yeah, that was amazing
0:35:28 > 0:35:32but in the end, Abi and Tracy just had that extra bit of Pointless knowledge
0:35:32 > 0:35:33that they could call on.
0:35:33 > 0:35:36Roy and Thomas, we'll see you again next time.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39- Thanks very much for playing. - APPLAUSE
0:35:40 > 0:35:43But for Abi and Tracy, it's now time for our Pointless final
0:35:43 > 0:35:47and the chance to win our jackpot of £8,750.
0:35:53 > 0:35:57So congratulations, Abi and Tracy, you've fought off the competition
0:35:57 > 0:36:00and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02APPLAUSE
0:36:07 > 0:36:10You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:36:10 > 0:36:15At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at very impressive £8,750.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18CHEERING
0:36:18 > 0:36:22Now, to win the money, all you have to do is find a pointless answer,
0:36:22 > 0:36:24an answer that none of our 100 people could think of.
0:36:24 > 0:36:27We've had two pointless answers today.
0:36:27 > 0:36:30You only need to find one and you will go home with that money.
0:36:30 > 0:36:32Firstly, you've got to choose a category
0:36:32 > 0:36:35and you can choose from these three options.
0:36:41 > 0:36:45Oh, my word. A bit of my soul just died.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47As long as soul singer, didn't.
0:36:47 > 0:36:51- It has to be soul singers. - Yeah, soul singers.- Soul singers.
0:36:51 > 0:36:55What's the one bit of that category that would make you think, "Oh, I know this"?
0:36:55 > 0:36:57- I have absolutely no idea.- OK.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00Let's find out what you know about soul singers.
0:37:00 > 0:37:02Let's find out what that question is.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:37:04 > 0:37:09to name as many Stevie Wonder singles as they could.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11Stevie Wonder singles. Richard.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14We're looking for any single released by Stevie Wonder
0:37:14 > 0:37:17that has reached the UK top 40 prior to the start of 2011.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20Duets counts and songs where he's a featured artist also count.
0:37:20 > 0:37:24We won't accept the collaborations That's What Friends Are For
0:37:24 > 0:37:25or We Are The World.
0:37:25 > 0:37:30So any of the 39 Stevie Wonder top 40 singles.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32Very best of luck.
0:37:32 > 0:37:36- Thanks.- You now have up to one minute to come up with three answers
0:37:36 > 0:37:39and all you need to win that £8,750 is
0:37:39 > 0:37:41for one just answer to be pointless.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43Your 60 seconds start now.
0:37:43 > 0:37:47- Signed, Sealed, Delivered. - Isn't She Lovely.- Isn't She Lovely.
0:37:47 > 0:37:50- Erm, Suspicion? No.- Superstition. - Superstitious.
0:37:52 > 0:37:56- Wah!- He played harmonica on There Must Be An Angel
0:37:56 > 0:37:58but I don't think that counts.
0:37:58 > 0:38:02Oh, er... biscuits.
0:38:02 > 0:38:03- Erm...- There must be some more.
0:38:03 > 0:38:08Erm... I would go then, with... I don't know -
0:38:08 > 0:38:11- Signed, Sealed, Delivered, maybe? - Yeah.
0:38:11 > 0:38:17- Yeah.- Superstitious.- Millions will have got that.- Millions.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20What about Happy Birthday? That will be huge as well.
0:38:20 > 0:38:24But probably less than Isn't She Lovely?
0:38:24 > 0:38:27Or the t'other one that's just completely gone boop!
0:38:28 > 0:38:32- Yeah.- Which do you think? - Superstition.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34- Signed, Sealed, Delivered.- Mm-hm.
0:38:36 > 0:38:39And Happy Birthday?
0:38:39 > 0:38:41Mm, yeah, OK.
0:38:43 > 0:38:45OK, there's your minute.
0:38:45 > 0:38:47So, we were looking for Stevie Wonder singles.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50I now need your three answers.
0:38:50 > 0:38:52We're going to plump for Signed, Sealed, Delivered.
0:38:52 > 0:38:56- Signed, Sealed, Delivered. - Superstition.- Superstition.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59- And Happy Birthday. - And Happy Birthday.
0:38:59 > 0:39:03Now, of those three, which do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:39:03 > 0:39:07- Signed, Sealed, Delivered.- Probably. - We'll put that last.
0:39:07 > 0:39:10And your least likely contender for a pointless answer?
0:39:10 > 0:39:12- Happy Birthday.- Happy Birthday.
0:39:12 > 0:39:15OK, so let's put those up on the board in that order.
0:39:23 > 0:39:28You only need one of these to be pointless to win that £8,750 jackpot.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30Let's see if Happy Birthday is right
0:39:30 > 0:39:34and if it is, let's see how many people said it. Happy Birthday.
0:39:35 > 0:39:39It's your first shot of three at that jackpot.
0:39:39 > 0:39:43£8,750. It has to go all the way down to zero.
0:39:43 > 0:39:47Into the twenties, into the teens, into single figures.
0:39:47 > 0:39:48- Look at that - six people! - APPLAUSE
0:39:52 > 0:39:57Six people out of our 100 said Happy Birthday.
0:39:57 > 0:39:59Unfortunately, that's not a pointless answer
0:39:59 > 0:40:02but we can draw a bit of strength, I think, from that.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05You only have two more chances to win today's jackpot.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07Your next answer - Superstition.
0:40:08 > 0:40:11You were a little bit more confident about this one.
0:40:11 > 0:40:14What would you spend £8,750 on?
0:40:14 > 0:40:17I think I'd go on holiday with my husband and son.
0:40:17 > 0:40:19- Very good. Abi, how about you? - Probably the same.
0:40:19 > 0:40:25- I've been married for 12 years and we've never been away on holiday.- Oh, for heaven's sake!
0:40:25 > 0:40:28But I also need a new bathroom and a new boiler, so, you know...
0:40:28 > 0:40:32- OK.- Might have to weigh it up a bit. - OK.
0:40:32 > 0:40:36Your next answer, Superstition. Is it right
0:40:36 > 0:40:39and if it is right, how many people said it? Superstition.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44It is right.
0:40:44 > 0:40:47Your first answer went down to single figures.
0:40:47 > 0:40:48This you had more faith in.
0:40:48 > 0:40:51This has to go to zero to win that jackpot.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53THEY GROAN
0:40:53 > 0:40:55APPLAUSE
0:40:58 > 0:41:0116. Well, it's not a pointless answer,
0:41:01 > 0:41:05which means the stage is now set for your third and final answer.
0:41:05 > 0:41:10This is your last chance to win today's jackpot of £8,750.
0:41:10 > 0:41:12We were looking for Stevie Wonder singles.
0:41:12 > 0:41:15You have submitted Signed, Sealed, Delivered
0:41:15 > 0:41:16as your last choice.
0:41:16 > 0:41:20This was the one you had the most faith in to be pointless.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22It has to be right and it has to go down to zero
0:41:22 > 0:41:26and if it does go down to zero, you leave here with £8,750.
0:41:28 > 0:41:32Ha! Signed, Sealed, Delivered. Is it right? How many people said it?
0:41:34 > 0:41:35There it is. It's right.
0:41:35 > 0:41:39It has to go all the way down to zero to leave with the jackpot
0:41:39 > 0:41:42of £8,750.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45Down it goes into the teens, into single figures...
0:41:45 > 0:41:49- Oh! - AUDIENCE GROANS
0:41:51 > 0:41:53Oh!
0:41:58 > 0:42:02Unfortunately, you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer,
0:42:02 > 0:42:05so you don't win today's jackpot of £8,750,
0:42:05 > 0:42:07which rolls over onto the next show.
0:42:07 > 0:42:11You've been amazing contestants and you do take home our Pointless trophy.
0:42:11 > 0:42:13APPLAUSE
0:42:17 > 0:42:20- Richard. - Yeah, unlucky, Abi and Tracy.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23I hope you don't recognise any of the pointless answers.
0:42:23 > 0:42:24There's quite a few.
0:42:24 > 0:42:27His second ever hit was a cover of Blowin' In The Wind.
0:42:27 > 0:42:31That was pointless. Get It was his duet with Michael Jackson.
0:42:31 > 0:42:34I Ain't Gonna Stand For It was a top 10 hit in 1980.
0:42:34 > 0:42:37Living For The City, he won a Grammy for that, that was pointless.
0:42:37 > 0:42:39Overjoyed was pointless.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42Part-Time Lover was a number three hit in the mid '80s.
0:42:42 > 0:42:43That was pointless.
0:42:43 > 0:42:45So What The Fuss, that was from 2005.
0:42:45 > 0:42:49We Can Work It Out is a cover of the Beatles song from the early '70s.
0:42:49 > 0:42:52And probably the biggest hit on the pointless answers -
0:42:52 > 0:42:56YesterMe, Yester-You, Yesterday. That was a number two hit.
0:42:56 > 0:42:58Very well done if you got any of those.
0:42:58 > 0:42:59Thanks, Richard.
0:42:59 > 0:43:02Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye, Abi and Tracy.
0:43:02 > 0:43:05It's been great having you on the show. Thank you for playing.
0:43:05 > 0:43:06- Thank you. - APPLAUSE
0:43:09 > 0:43:13So nobody's won our jackpot today, so it rolls over onto the next show,
0:43:13 > 0:43:17when we will be playing for £9,750.
0:43:17 > 0:43:19WHOOPING
0:43:20 > 0:43:22Join us to see if someone can win it.
0:43:22 > 0:43:24- It's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:24 > 0:43:26And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
