0:00:22 > 0:00:24CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:26 > 0:00:28Thank you very much. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong,
0:00:28 > 0:00:31and a very warm welcome to Pointless, the quiz show
0:00:31 > 0:00:34where popular answers mean nothing and obscure answers mean everything.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Let's meet today's players.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39APPLAUSE
0:00:41 > 0:00:43So, welcome to Elizabeth and Krystyna,
0:00:43 > 0:00:45you're our first pair on the show this afternoon.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48- How do you two know each other? - We're mother and daughter.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Elizabeth is the youngest of my three daughters.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54- The youngest of three daughters? - Yes.- All daughters?- Yes.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57- Oh, my goodness! where have you come from?- Folkestone in Kent.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Folkestone in Kent. What do you do, Krystyna?
0:01:00 > 0:01:02I'm a retired primary school head teacher.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Wow! You've got all bases covered. How about you, Elizabeth?
0:01:05 > 0:01:09I'm a student and I'm training to be a primary teacher, so...
0:01:09 > 0:01:11- Very best of luck to the pair of you.- Thank you.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14Next, we welcome back Roy and Thomas, you were on the show last time.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18Everyone gets two chances to reach the Pointless final. This is your second chance.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21- Remind us how you did.- Pretty well. We got to the head-to-head.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Unfortunately, a lack of Coronation Street knowledge...
0:01:24 > 0:01:29- Coronation Street?- Yeah. - If only you'd spent more time in front of the telly.- Yeah!- Roy,
0:01:29 > 0:01:35- what would you love to see come up this afternoon?- Something about tropical fish, perhaps.- What?!
0:01:35 > 0:01:36LAUGHTER
0:01:36 > 0:01:40- Anything other than Coronation Street.- Really? Tropical fish?
0:01:40 > 0:01:45- Are you good on tropical fish, or... - I'm being facetious. - You're being ribald? I see. I see.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Thomas, do you want to add to the fun?
0:01:48 > 0:01:50I'll be more sensible. Medieval history.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54- Medieval history? That's your particular area.- Yeah.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57- Medieval history?- No. Tropical fish, yes.
0:01:57 > 0:01:58LAUGHTER
0:02:00 > 0:02:03- Really?- No.- No! - LAUGHTER
0:02:03 > 0:02:07Best of luck to you. Next, we welcome back Trisha and Ernie,
0:02:07 > 0:02:10who were also on the show last time. What happened with you?
0:02:10 > 0:02:13We got a very high score in the second round
0:02:13 > 0:02:17because my knowledge of television was not as good as what I thought.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21Again, if only more of you just spent your time watching telly...
0:02:21 > 0:02:25- What are you hoping is coming up this afternoon? - Definitely geography.
0:02:25 > 0:02:26And Ancient Egypt.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31- Geography and Ancient Egypt? - Geographical Egypt would be great.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34All right, best of luck to the pair of you. Great to have you back.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37Finally, we have Paul and Yvonne. How do you two know each other?
0:02:37 > 0:02:40We met on the beautiful Greek island of Lesbos, 20-something years ago.
0:02:40 > 0:02:45- Our eyes met over a clay pot of moussaka.- Ah!
0:02:45 > 0:02:48A holiday romance still going strong. That's fabulous.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51- What are your hobbies, Paul? - Scuba diving, mountain biking,
0:02:51 > 0:02:54- anything dangerous. - Liking things that are dangerous,
0:02:54 > 0:02:57you are going to be the perfect Pointless contestant. You're going to go
0:02:57 > 0:02:59out onto the thin ice, aren't you?
0:02:59 > 0:03:04- You'll be taking risks at every turn, isn't he, Yvonne?- Erm...
0:03:04 > 0:03:09- Maybe.- Anyway, very best of luck to the pair of you.
0:03:09 > 0:03:10It's great to have you here.
0:03:10 > 0:03:15We'll find out more about all of you in the show. There's only one person left to introduce.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18In the search of obscure facts and figures, he will boldly go
0:03:18 > 0:03:20where no man has gone before.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23- He is my Pointless friend, he is Richard.- Hiya.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26APPLAUSE A really good show today.
0:03:26 > 0:03:31Two returning pairs. Roy and Thomas were terrific last time, weren't they? A very strong pair.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34So I suspect they're the people to beat, but Trisha and Ernie -
0:03:34 > 0:03:37Trisha, I think is very, very keen...
0:03:37 > 0:03:40- to win the show today. - She wants to hoist the trophy.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43I think so. She has a steely look in her eye.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46It should be a very good show. The first question is one...
0:03:46 > 0:03:50where you either know it or you don't. It could be tricky for some people.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53Now, we put all of our questions to 100 people before the show,
0:03:53 > 0:03:56but this is Pointless, so we are after the obscure answers they didn't get,
0:03:56 > 0:03:58but what everyone is trying to do is find a Pointless answer -
0:03:58 > 0:04:01an answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04And each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08Nobody won the jackpot last time, so we add another £1,000 to that.
0:04:08 > 0:04:13So today's jackpot starts off at £9,750.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15APPLAUSE
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Right, let's play Pointless.
0:04:26 > 0:04:31The first round, each of you must give me one answer. You can't confer with your partner.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34The team with the highest score at the end of the round is eliminated.
0:04:34 > 0:04:39If anyone gives me an incorrect answer, they will score the maximum of 100 points.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42Our first category this afternoon is...
0:04:42 > 0:04:48- celebrities. Krystyna looks thrilled with that!- No. - Can you all decide in your pairs
0:04:48 > 0:04:50who's going first, who's going second?
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Whoever's going first, step up to the podium.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57OK, let's find out what the question is,
0:04:57 > 0:05:00we gave 100 people 100 seconds to name
0:05:00 > 0:05:06as many 2010 Strictly Come Dancing contestants as they could. Richard.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10We're looking for any celebrity who took part in the eighth series of
0:05:10 > 0:05:13BBC Strictly Come Dancing in 2010.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Thank you very much, Richard.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Now, Elizabeth and Krystyna, you drew lots before the show and,
0:05:18 > 0:05:21this afternoon, you get to go first.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25- Did you watch any of Strictly? - No.- Do you ever?- No...
0:05:25 > 0:05:29but I do sometimes see in passing.
0:05:29 > 0:05:34- Do you hear about the best and the worst?- Yes, I think I've got an idea.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38- Come on, then, let's hear. - I'm going to try Matt Baker.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42Matt Baker, very good. You're hoping to score as few points as possible with Matt Baker.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46Let's see if it's right, and how many people said Matt Baker.
0:05:48 > 0:05:49Well done.
0:05:49 > 0:05:50It's the right answer!
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Very, very well done!
0:05:56 > 0:05:58APPLAUSE
0:05:59 > 0:06:01Matt Baker scores you 16.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05A very good answer, Krystyna. Well done.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Matt Baker started his career on Blue Peter.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10- Now does The One Show, amongst other things.- Well done.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Now, then, Roy, the thing about Strictly is,
0:06:13 > 0:06:17- you either watch it or you don't. Do you watch it?- Yeah, obviously.
0:06:17 > 0:06:18I watch it all the time.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22I'm partial to a bit of a pasodoble, so...
0:06:22 > 0:06:26You see, him with his tropical fish, I just don't know if I believe him.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29- LAUGHTER - Do I believe this?
0:06:29 > 0:06:33- Does he watch it, Thomas?- Yeah. I think we both sort of watch it.
0:06:33 > 0:06:38- It's just sort of on in the background.- OK.- A guilty pleasure.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40OK. Now, then... OK. 2010.
0:06:40 > 0:06:452010, I'm going to go for Goldie,
0:06:45 > 0:06:48who I think was the first person knocked out.
0:06:48 > 0:06:49OK, Goldie, you're going to say.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52You're hoping to score as few points as possible.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55If it's right, let's see how many people said Goldie.
0:06:57 > 0:06:58It's right.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Down it goes. Very, very well done, Roy.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09APPLAUSE
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Extremely good. Goldie scoring you four points.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17- So, Goldie, Richard? - Yeah, well played, Roy. Goldie
0:07:17 > 0:07:19is not the old Blue Peter dog, but the drum 'n' bass DJ.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23He was also on Maestro, where he learned to conduct an Orchestra.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27Now, Trisha, again, I have an inkling you're going to be very, very good at this.
0:07:27 > 0:07:32- I love it.- I just knew you were going to say that!
0:07:32 > 0:07:35So for you, it's just a matter of working out strategically
0:07:35 > 0:07:40- which is the lowest scoring one of all the names in front of you? - Maybe.- Yeah.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44- I'm going to go for Paul Daniels. - Well, you don't hear that very often!
0:07:44 > 0:07:46LAUGHTER
0:07:46 > 0:07:49APPLAUSE
0:07:53 > 0:07:57You're hoping to score as low as you possibly can with Paul Daniels.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00I think you might. Let's see if it's a correct answer.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04I have a hunch it probably is. If it is, how many people said Paul Daniels?
0:08:06 > 0:08:07It's right.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Very well done.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17APPLAUSE
0:08:17 > 0:08:22- Very well done indeed, Trisha. Paul Daniels scoring you nine. - Good answer, Trisha,
0:08:22 > 0:08:25he was the second one voted out after Goldie, in fact.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Very good. Now, then, Yvonne.
0:08:27 > 0:08:32- Do you watch Strictly?- No. Never. - Oh, dear. Exactly, you see.
0:08:32 > 0:08:37- Does Paul watch Strictly? - No, never.- Wow.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41- You're just going to have to take a wild stab in the dark.- OK.
0:08:41 > 0:08:48- Right. The stab I'm going to go for is Pamela Stephenson. - Pamela Stephenson,
0:08:48 > 0:08:51you're hoping to score as few points as possible. Let's see if it's right
0:08:51 > 0:08:54and how many people said it. Pamela Stephenson.
0:08:57 > 0:08:58Well done. It's right.
0:09:03 > 0:09:0422.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06APPLAUSE
0:09:06 > 0:09:07That's not bad.
0:09:09 > 0:09:14- 22, very well done. Pamela Stephenson.- Yeah, well done, Yvonne.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18- She came third.- She came third?- Yeah. - Oh, she was good?- Yeah.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21- Or just loved?- A little bit of both. - OK, we're halfway through,
0:09:21 > 0:09:25let's take a look at the scores as they stand. On 4 points,
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Roy and Thomas.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31Then we come up to Trisha and Ernie on 9. Lovely low score there.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Krystyna, 16, not bad.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36A little bit ahead of you, Yvonne and Paul on 22,
0:09:36 > 0:09:38considering that was an amazing score.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40- I'm astonished.- Considering.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44However, this is about staying in the game.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47So, Paul, you're going to have to wrack your brains
0:09:47 > 0:09:49and try and come up with an obscure answer.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Likewise, Elizabeth, I hope you watched it as well
0:09:52 > 0:09:55to come up with a decent answer to stay in the game.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58OK, can the second players take their places at the podium?
0:10:02 > 0:10:06So, we are looking for 2010 Strictly Come Dancing contestants.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Paul, as we gather,
0:10:09 > 0:10:10you don't really watch it.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12- No.- But you must be aware of some of the names?
0:10:12 > 0:10:18- We were even out of the country for most of 2010. - Is it a deliberate move?
0:10:18 > 0:10:23- Just to avoid Strictly Come Dancing, yeah.- Well, we can't put this off any longer, Paul,
0:10:23 > 0:10:26you're going to have to... Have you got a name?
0:10:26 > 0:10:30It may even be the wrong show, but I distinctly remember a retired,
0:10:30 > 0:10:34distinguished broadcaster by the name of John Sergeant.
0:10:34 > 0:10:40OK. John Sergeant, you are saying. You are the high scorers on 22.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44There's no red line for you to come below. John Sergeant. Let's see if that's right
0:10:44 > 0:10:48and, if is it, let's see how many people said John Sergeant.
0:10:48 > 0:10:49Good luck, Paul.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Yes, I'm afraid that,
0:10:54 > 0:11:00like John Sergeant doing Strictly, was wrong.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02And it scores you the maximum of 100 points,
0:11:02 > 0:11:04taking you up to a total of 122.
0:11:04 > 0:11:09- Richard, John Sergeant. - Yes, it was two years back, in fact,
0:11:09 > 0:11:11in series six 2008, John Sergeant was in it.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14I am quite proud not to know that.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18I'm quite proud of you, you can hold your heads up high,
0:11:18 > 0:11:21as you leave the show which, I'm afraid...
0:11:21 > 0:11:22LAUGHTER
0:11:22 > 0:11:26..is what you're going to be doing at the end of this round, because nobody,
0:11:26 > 0:11:31even if they score 100, will be able to overtake your exceptional high score of 122.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34So, Ernie, we come to you. Pressure off.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37We're looking for 2010 Strictly contestants.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41Yeah, I don't think this person was on there, but she certainly seemed to be on everything else.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45I'll go for Carol Vorderman. She's not there, but I'll go for Carol Vorderman.
0:11:45 > 0:11:49You're on 9 points, so it doesn't matter, you're through to the next round. Let's see if
0:11:49 > 0:11:53she was on Strictly 2010, and how many people said Carol Vorderman. Good luck.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01Bad luck, Ernie. As you suspected, that is an incorrect answer.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Takes your score up to 109.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07- Doesn't matter, you're through. Richard?- Yes, she was on series two,
0:12:07 > 0:12:10Carol Vorderman, but I think you were answering the question -
0:12:10 > 0:12:14- who do you fancy most on television, weren't you?- Yep.
0:12:16 > 0:12:21Now, then, Thomas, I think if anybody can pluck a Pointless answer
0:12:21 > 0:12:23out of the ether, I think it's you.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25I think, embarrassingly, you're right.
0:12:26 > 0:12:32- Yeah, I'll probably go with Patsy Kensit, maybe.- Patsy Kensit, maybe.
0:12:32 > 0:12:37Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people have said Patsy Kensit.
0:12:39 > 0:12:40It's right.
0:12:41 > 0:12:45Might this be Pointless? That'd be brilliant...
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Almost!
0:12:49 > 0:12:50APPLAUSE
0:12:50 > 0:12:53Scores you 6, takes your total up to 10.
0:12:53 > 0:12:54So, Richard,
0:12:54 > 0:13:00- Patsy Kensit?- Another good answer from Thomas. I might get you to name some more at the end. But 10 points,
0:13:00 > 0:13:02a very good score between two.
0:13:02 > 0:13:06Elizabeth, you are on 16. Like all the others,
0:13:06 > 0:13:10it doesn't matter what you score now, you're through to the next round.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12All the others barring Paul and Yvonne.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15- It's definitely a relief, cos I don't watch it. - You don't want Strictly?
0:13:15 > 0:13:18No. I do know who was on it, kind of.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21Not all of them, but I've got a couple of names that no-one else has said,
0:13:21 > 0:13:23but I'm going to go for Kara Tointon.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28- Kara Tointon?- Yes.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31Very good, let's see how many people said Kara Tointon.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40Wow!
0:13:40 > 0:13:42APPLAUSE
0:13:42 > 0:13:4611. Very well done. Elizabeth, takes your total up to 27.
0:13:46 > 0:13:52Well played, Elizabeth. Kara Tointon, the EastEnders actress who won series eight.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55There are three Pointless answers here...
0:13:55 > 0:13:58Scott Maslen, the EastEnders actor who played Jack Branning.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Tina O'Brien, from Coronation Street. She was also Pointless,
0:14:01 > 0:14:05And the actor Jimi Mistry. All three are Pointless answers.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07Well done if you said any of those at home.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09Let's take a look at the highest scorers,
0:14:09 > 0:14:12these are the ones that most people said. Most of our 100.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15Matt Baker was the third highest scorer of all, with 16.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18Pamela Stephenson, 22. And right at the top,
0:14:18 > 0:14:21the John Sergeant of 2010, I would say, Ann Widdecombe, on 55.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24Thank you, Richard. So, at the end of Round One,
0:14:24 > 0:14:28the losing pair with the high score, I'm so sorry, Paul and Yvonne.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32- So, what have you learnt on your brief spell?- Just to try to remember
0:14:32 > 0:14:36- what year is which, really, I suppose.- Yes. Well,
0:14:36 > 0:14:40we'll see the next time. We'll look forward to it. Excellent contestants,
0:14:40 > 0:14:43- Thanks very much for playing. - APPLAUSE
0:14:43 > 0:14:45For the remaining three pairs, it's time for Round Two.
0:14:45 > 0:14:46APPLAUSE
0:14:50 > 0:14:54Now, only two pairs can make it through to the head-to-head.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57So, one of the teams will be leaving at the end of this round.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01Your category for Round Two this afternoon is...
0:15:01 > 0:15:03transport.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07Transport. Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:15:07 > 0:15:10who's going to go second? Whoever's going first, step up to the podium.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18So, our round-two question this afternoon concerns
0:15:18 > 0:15:21international car registrations.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24In this round, we're about to show you a list of abbreviations,
0:15:24 > 0:15:27used as international car registrations.
0:15:27 > 0:15:33We asked 100 people to tell us which country each set of letters represents.
0:15:33 > 0:15:37- Richard.- In each pass, we're going to show you six international car registrations.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41Tell us the country they come from. The more obscure answers will give fewer points.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45If you give us an incorrect answer, it will score you 100 points.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48Thank you very much, Richard. So, we're looking for the country that each of these
0:15:48 > 0:15:51sets of letters represents. And we have got...
0:15:53 > 0:15:59GB, IS, MAL, ET, D, RWA.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01I'll read those again.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11- Elizabeth?- There's a few, a couple that I'm sure of.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13- Then maybe...- Yes.
0:16:13 > 0:16:20Maybe a couple that I could have a guess at. I'm going for ET...
0:16:20 > 0:16:24- Yes?- ..and say Estonia.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28- You're going to say Estonia for ET?- Yes.- ET, Estonia.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Let's see if it's right, and how many people knew that answer.
0:16:31 > 0:16:32ET, Estonia.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Oh, bad luck, Elizabeth.
0:16:36 > 0:16:41Something tells me you won't be alone on that high score this round.
0:16:41 > 0:16:46Unfortunately, that is a wrong answer, you score the maximum of 100 points. Richard.
0:16:46 > 0:16:50I won't tell you what ET is, just in case Roy or Ernie would like to have a go at that one.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Roy?
0:16:52 > 0:16:56- Yes.- Roy, what's that board looking like behind me?
0:16:56 > 0:16:58It's not looking very attractive,
0:16:58 > 0:17:01but I like to live life on the edge.
0:17:02 > 0:17:07So, as one country beginning with E has already gone,
0:17:07 > 0:17:12I'm going for another one and say that ET is Ethiopia.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17- Ethiopia?- Yes. - ET, Ethiopia, says Roy.
0:17:17 > 0:17:21Is it right? And if it is, how many people said it? Ethiopia.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Bad luck, Roy.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31A very high scoring round, this one!
0:17:31 > 0:17:34Ernie, you don't need to do anything, really, do you?
0:17:34 > 0:17:38Ethiopia, a very, very brave life-on-the-edge kind of a choice,
0:17:38 > 0:17:42But I'm afraid it was wrong, so it scores you the maximum of 100 points. Richard.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46You guys are finding it harder to find ET than those government scientists.
0:17:46 > 0:17:51- LAUGHTER - Ernie, you're the last person
0:17:51 > 0:17:55- to have this board.- Yep. - Remember, we are looking for the country that is
0:17:55 > 0:17:57represented by these car registrations.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00I think RWA is possibly
0:18:00 > 0:18:04a West African republic, or something in Africa.
0:18:04 > 0:18:05D, Germany.
0:18:05 > 0:18:09ET, I've a feeling Egypt.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12But I'm going to try IS. I think it's Iceland.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15- You think it's Iceland?- Yeah.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19OK, IS, Iceland, you are saying. Let's see if that's right
0:18:19 > 0:18:23and, if it is, how many people said it. IS, Iceland. Good luck, Ernie.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27It's right! Very well done.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Down it goes.
0:18:31 > 0:18:32Five!
0:18:32 > 0:18:35APPLAUSE
0:18:38 > 0:18:40That was a great answer, Ernie.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44- And it paid off, scored you five. - Well played, Ernie.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48- Trisha and Ernie mean business, don't they?- Oh, yeah.- They really do.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52Very good answer, yes. The Icelandic spelling of Iceland begins IS. The others.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55We should probably do ET first.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58Not Estonia, not Ethiopia, but, as Ernie thought, Egypt.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00It would have scored one point.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04Let's go right up the top now, GB, is obviously United Kingdom.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08Almost as bad as a wrong answer, 97 points.
0:19:08 > 0:19:12D is Germany, it would have scored you 61.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15- RWA, any ideas?- Rwanda?
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Rwanda, exactly right.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19It would have scored 39.
0:19:19 > 0:19:20Now, MAL, what do you think?
0:19:23 > 0:19:27Malta, no. Malawi, no. Maldives, no.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30It is Malaysia. Malaysia. It would have scored you
0:19:30 > 0:19:33- a fairly hefty 20 points. - Thanks very much, Richard.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at the scores.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Well, now, Ernie and Trisha, five.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40Iceland, it was.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Very brave, very brave indeed. Not to say that
0:19:43 > 0:19:46Elizabeth and Roy weren't equally brave.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48They were just wrong.
0:19:48 > 0:19:49LAUGHTER
0:19:49 > 0:19:53But it's nice to have two on 100, because it means Thomas and Krystyna
0:19:53 > 0:19:56have a proper, proper tussle in the next pass.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Otherwise, it just wouldn't be any fun at all.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02Right, can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:20:05 > 0:20:08OK, we're going to put six more abbreviations on the board,
0:20:08 > 0:20:10and we have got...
0:20:18 > 0:20:20I'll read those one more time.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29We are looking for the country that each of these sets of letters represents.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32You're trying to find the one that the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Trisha, you're on five,
0:20:34 > 0:20:37courtesy of Ernie's excellent answer.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40If you can score 94 or lower,
0:20:40 > 0:20:43you are through to the head-to-head.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47I'm thinking CH...
0:20:49 > 0:20:50..I think.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52Switzerland?
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Very good.
0:20:54 > 0:20:55Let's see if that is right.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58Here comes your red line.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01There it is. If you get below that red line with Switzerland,
0:21:01 > 0:21:04you are through to the head-to-head.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Is it right? Let's see how many people said CH, Switzerland.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12Well done, it is right, you are through to the head-to-head.
0:21:15 > 0:21:1736, very well done, Trisha.
0:21:17 > 0:21:1936 takes your total up to 41.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24- Richard?- Sailing through to their head-to-head.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27CH stands for Confederation Helvetique.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30Very well done. Now, Thomas, the heat is on.
0:21:30 > 0:21:31It's between you and Krystyna.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34Yeah, my dad didn't leave me in the best of positions.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38He didn't leave you in the best of positions, no.
0:21:38 > 0:21:39I don't know whether to risk it,
0:21:39 > 0:21:42or go for an easy one...
0:21:44 > 0:21:45Yes.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50I'm going to go for CDN and say Niger.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52CDN, Niger.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56CDN, Niger. There it is at the top of the board.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Let's find out if it is right.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00And if it is, how many people said it.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04There's no red line for you because you are joint high scorers.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Bad luck, Thomas.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13Bad luck. I'm afraid that is an incorrect answer.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16Which means you score the maximum of 100 points.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19Which takes your total up to 200. Richard.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22Unlucky, Thomas, you've to take a risk, though.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26I won't say what CDN is in case Krystyna would like to have a go.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Krystyna?
0:22:28 > 0:22:32There are none of those that I'm absolutely 100% about.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35I think I'm going to try JA
0:22:35 > 0:22:37and say Japan.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40Japan, you are going to say for JA.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Well, there is your red line.
0:22:42 > 0:22:43It's right below the pink line.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47If Japan is right, I think you'll be through to the head-to-head.
0:22:47 > 0:22:51Let's see if it is. And how many people said it. Japan.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Ooh.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57This is very exciting indeed. I'm afraid that is wrong.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Which means, you score the maximum of 100 points,
0:23:00 > 0:23:03taking your total up to 200. Richard.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06- A tough round, isn't it? - Tough!
0:23:06 > 0:23:08- And more to come. - And more to come.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11So, a lifeline has been thrown to you, Thomas and Roy
0:23:11 > 0:23:14and Krystyna and Elizabeth. This is incredibly exciting.
0:23:14 > 0:23:18It's a tie, so the tied pairs have to give one more answer each.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20Your scores are going to be reset to zero.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23Look at that, beautifully synchronised.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26The pair that gets the lowest score will win. You can now confer, OK.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29So, Elizabeth and Krystyna, you are to go first,
0:23:29 > 0:23:32from the remaining answers on the board.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37THEY CONFER
0:23:37 > 0:23:41Um. We're going to go for IRL and say Ireland.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43IRL.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45The Republic of Ireland.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47OK. Well let's see if that's right.
0:23:47 > 0:23:51And if it is, let's see how many people said it. IRL. Ireland.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55Yes, it's right.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58But it might as well not have been.
0:23:58 > 0:24:0291 points for that.
0:24:06 > 0:24:07Thomas and Roy?
0:24:07 > 0:24:11IND is either Indonesia or India, I'm guessing.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14T could be Thailand, any country beginning with T.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16CDN.
0:24:16 > 0:24:17Possibly Canada.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20I think it's the other way around, Canada.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23I think JA is not too bad a one.
0:24:23 > 0:24:27It's the one we are more confident on. We are going JA, Jamaica.
0:24:27 > 0:24:28JA, Jamaica.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31OK. Well, 91 is the score you have to beat.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Here's your red line coming in.
0:24:33 > 0:24:37Below that red line and you will be through to the head-to-head.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39Jamaica, JA. Let's see if it's right,
0:24:39 > 0:24:41and if it is, how many of our 100 people said it.
0:24:45 > 0:24:49Very good. Well done, you are through.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52It was all you had to do.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55APPLAUSE
0:24:55 > 0:24:58Very good.
0:24:58 > 0:25:03That scores you seven. And it sees you through to the head-to-head.
0:25:03 > 0:25:07Richard, I suppose that's why "Ja" features in so many reggae songs?
0:25:07 > 0:25:09LAUGHTER
0:25:09 > 0:25:11It's exactly right. Very well played, guys.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14Let's take you through the rest of the board. Everyone avoided IND,
0:25:14 > 0:25:18it could be India to Indonesia or India - it is India.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Indonesia is RI for Republic of Indonesia.
0:25:20 > 0:25:25CDN, which confused everyone, is Canada,
0:25:25 > 0:25:29but it's short for Canadian Dominion. That's what they have on their plates, CDN.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32And T, as you say it could be any country beginning with T
0:25:32 > 0:25:37but we've had a tie, and if you were a Thai, you'd have had a T on your car, cos it's Thailand.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41Would have scored 5 points, the best answer the board. Very well done if you said that.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43OK, thanks very much, Richard.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46At the end of Round Two, with the losing pair with the highest score,
0:25:46 > 0:25:49I'm afraid it's Krystyna and Elizabeth. Dear, oh, dear.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53Well, you did incredibly well and right down to a tiebreak as well.
0:25:53 > 0:25:57- Yes.- Yes.- Well, we will see you again next time
0:25:57 > 0:26:02- when I hope you'll be on the show for even longer, but thanks very much for playing.- Thank you.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04APPLAUSE
0:26:04 > 0:26:09For the remaining pairs, things will get more exciting now as we enter the head-to-head.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18So, very well done, Trisha and Ernie, Roy and Thomas,
0:26:18 > 0:26:20you've made it through to the head-to-head.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23Now, obviously only one pair can make it through to the final
0:26:23 > 0:26:28and play for the jackpot, which currently stands at £9,750.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31APPLAUSE
0:26:33 > 0:26:37You're going to go head-to-head on the best of three questions. For each question,
0:26:37 > 0:26:41each pair needs to give me just one answer, but you are now allowed to confer.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44All you have to do is give an answer that scores less than the other pair
0:26:44 > 0:26:46and you will win that question.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49The pair with the best of three will play for today's jackpot.
0:26:49 > 0:26:50Let's play Pointless.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58Right, here is your first question.
0:26:58 > 0:27:03We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many
0:27:03 > 0:27:08north, south, east and west football teams as they could.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11North, south, east and west. Richard.
0:27:11 > 0:27:15We're looking for any team playing in English League football at the start of 2011.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18That's Premier League, Championship, League One and Two.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22Any English league team which have any of those words in their name
0:27:22 > 0:27:23as a word or part of their name.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26For example, if we were accepting non-league teams,
0:27:26 > 0:27:29Eastbourne Borough would be acceptable.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32Any team that has north, south, east or west anywhere in its name.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34There are six answers on the list.
0:27:34 > 0:27:39So see how many of those you can get at home while they're conferring.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43Trisha and Ernie, you played best so far, so you get to go first.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51We have an answer.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53What's it going to be?
0:27:53 > 0:27:55Preston North End.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57Preston North End we have from Trisha and Ernie.
0:27:57 > 0:28:01Now, then, Roy and Thomas, you can do your thinking out loud.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05That's one we didn't think of, that's a very good one.
0:28:05 > 0:28:09Northampton, Southampton, West Brom, West Ham,
0:28:09 > 0:28:10sees Preston North End, so...
0:28:10 > 0:28:13What about Northampton Town, then?
0:28:13 > 0:28:14Yeah, Northampton, I think.
0:28:14 > 0:28:18Northampton, so we have Preston North End and Northampton.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20Two northerly answers.
0:28:20 > 0:28:24Trisha and Ernie went for Preston North End, let's see if that's right,
0:28:24 > 0:28:27and if it is, let's see how many said Preston North End.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30It's right.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37Oh, it's good. 17, very well done.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41Very well done.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45Roy and Thomas, you've gone for Northampton.
0:28:45 > 0:28:46Let's see if that's right,
0:28:46 > 0:28:49and if it is let's see how many people said Northampton.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51Will it beat Preston North End?
0:28:58 > 0:29:00- It's another low score.- 21.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05Very close.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08But Preston North End wins it.
0:29:08 > 0:29:12So after the very first question, Trisha and Ernie are winning 1-0.
0:29:12 > 0:29:14- Richard?- Well played, Trisha and Ernie.
0:29:14 > 0:29:17Thomas you went through every single answer apart from the one
0:29:17 > 0:29:19that would have beaten Preston North End.
0:29:19 > 0:29:22For 11 points, it would have been Southend United.
0:29:22 > 0:29:24Preston North End on 17,
0:29:24 > 0:29:27West Bromwich Albion, on 20, Northampton Town 21,
0:29:27 > 0:29:32Southampton 40, and West Ham United right at the top on 52.
0:29:32 > 0:29:36OK, thanks very much, Richard. Here is your second question.
0:29:36 > 0:29:41Roy and Thomas, you have to win this question to stay in the game.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44Trisha an Ernie, if you win this you're straight through to the final.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47Good luck. We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:29:47 > 0:29:50to name as many teenage mutant hero turtles.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57Teenage mutant hero turtles, Richard?
0:29:57 > 0:30:01We're looking for the names of any of the four teenage mutant turtles,
0:30:01 > 0:30:03which is the most obscure of those?
0:30:05 > 0:30:08OK, now, Roy and Thomas, you get to go first this time.
0:30:09 > 0:30:14Um...we're going to go with Raphael, I think.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16- Raphael. - Yeah, pretty sure he's one.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18OK, we have Raphael.
0:30:18 > 0:30:23Trisha and Ernie, you can do all your talking out loud now.
0:30:23 > 0:30:28Well, we knew two of the others. We were struggling on the third, weren't we?
0:30:28 > 0:30:33There's Donatello... and Michelangelo.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35We'll go for Donatello, please.
0:30:35 > 0:30:36Donatello.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38OK, we have Raphael and Donatello.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41Trisha and Ernie, if you win this point
0:30:41 > 0:30:43you're straight through to the final.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46Roy and Thomas, Raphael, let's see if that's right
0:30:46 > 0:30:48and if it is, let's see how many said Raphael.
0:30:50 > 0:30:51It's right.
0:31:03 > 0:31:04Is that a good score? I don't know?
0:31:04 > 0:31:06Yeah. You don't know at all.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09Trisha and Ernie, what are you thinking?
0:31:09 > 0:31:10It's going to be close.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12I think it'll going to be close.
0:31:12 > 0:31:16OK, Donatello, you have gone for, let's see if that is right,
0:31:16 > 0:31:18and if it is, let's see how many said Donatello.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21This will decide, possibly, who goes through to the final.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33APPLAUSE
0:31:35 > 0:31:37So, well done, Roy and Thomas, you get that one.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40After two questions it is one point apiece. Richard?
0:31:40 > 0:31:42Yeah, they were all very close.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44Once again, Ernie, it was the one you couldn't remember,
0:31:44 > 0:31:47because it would have tied with Raphael.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50Raphael and Leonardo both scored 31 points.
0:31:50 > 0:31:55Michelangelo, 35 and Donatello the most popular answer of all, 37.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57OK, here is your third question.
0:31:57 > 0:32:01This is the decider, whoever wins this question goes through
0:32:01 > 0:32:05to the final and will be playing for £9,750.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08Good luck. We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:32:08 > 0:32:14to name as many chemical elements that end in "ON" as they could.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17Chemical elements ending in "ON". Richard?
0:32:17 > 0:32:20Yeah, we're looking for any of the nine elements
0:32:20 > 0:32:22in the periodic table ending "ON".
0:32:22 > 0:32:28And we're taking their English names as listed in the Encyclopaedia Britannica, as of the start of 2011.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30Very best of luck.
0:32:30 > 0:32:34OK, Trisha and Ernie, you go first.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39Boron.
0:32:39 > 0:32:40- Boron.- B-O-R-O-N.
0:32:40 > 0:32:44Very good, slightly scary delivery there, Trisha.
0:32:44 > 0:32:49I appreciate this is a high-tension moment.
0:32:49 > 0:32:51Boron. Roy and Thomas.
0:32:51 > 0:32:52Boron has gone.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55It's a good answer.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58You are looking confident here. Are you familiar?
0:32:58 > 0:33:05I know a few others, but whether they're less popular than boron, I don't know.
0:33:05 > 0:33:10But I think xenon might be a possible one.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13So, I'm going to go for xenon.
0:33:13 > 0:33:16Xenon. OK, so we have boron, we have xenon.
0:33:18 > 0:33:21Trisha and Ernie have gone for boron.
0:33:21 > 0:33:25Is it right, and if it is, how many people said boron?
0:33:41 > 0:33:45Boron, 20.
0:33:45 > 0:33:49Roy and Thomas, you've said xenon. Let's see if its right,
0:33:49 > 0:33:52and if it is, let's see how many people said xenon.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54This will see who goes through to the final.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58It's right.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04Oh, look at that!
0:34:04 > 0:34:05CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:34:09 > 0:34:12Just three points in it.
0:34:13 > 0:34:17But xenon pips it by going down to 17.
0:34:17 > 0:34:21So after the third question, Roy and Thomas are through to the final, 2-1.
0:34:21 > 0:34:22Richard?
0:34:22 > 0:34:26Another great battle, there were two answers that would have beaten xenon.
0:34:26 > 0:34:32One of them is surprising, let's take a look, silicon with ten.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35Krypton with 12, radon 18 and boron on 20.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41Then the big ones at the top, carbon 23, iron 35,
0:34:41 > 0:34:45argon 36 and neon, top of all with 42.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47OK, thank you very much, Richard.
0:34:47 > 0:34:51So the losing pair at the end of the head-to-head is Trisha and Ernie.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54Amazingly played, that was incredibly exciting.
0:34:54 > 0:34:58That could have gone either way. How are you feeling, Trisha and Ernie?
0:34:58 > 0:35:01They are very worthy winners. They've given us a good battle.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03Good luck getting that money.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05You can always share it with us if you want.
0:35:05 > 0:35:09We did agree that off stage, actually!
0:35:09 > 0:35:11Very good. But, no, you have played fantastically well
0:35:11 > 0:35:13on both shows you've been on.
0:35:13 > 0:35:17- Brilliant, brilliant contestants, thank you so much for coming along. - Thank you.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21But for Roy and Thomas it's time for our Pointless final
0:35:21 > 0:35:25and the chance to win our jackpot of £9,750.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33So, congratulations, Roy and Thomas,
0:35:33 > 0:35:37you've seen off all the competition and won our coveted Pointless trophy. Well done.
0:35:43 > 0:35:47You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:47 > 0:35:51At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £9,750.
0:35:51 > 0:35:52APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:35:54 > 0:35:57Now, the rules are simple - to win that money,
0:35:57 > 0:35:59all you have to do is find a Pointless answer
0:35:59 > 0:36:02that none of our 100 people can think of.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04We haven't had any Pointless answers today.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07You only have to find one now and you will go home with that money.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09First, though, you've got to choose a category
0:36:09 > 0:36:13and you can choose from these three options. Here you are.
0:36:13 > 0:36:17You can have American sport, UK politics or film directors.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22American sport, UK politics or film directors. What do you think?
0:36:22 > 0:36:25Pretty much rule out American sport straightaway.
0:36:25 > 0:36:27I have no clue about that.
0:36:27 > 0:36:30- It could be basketball teams, football teams.- Baseball.
0:36:30 > 0:36:31Not strong, really.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34Film directors, we could be lucky.
0:36:34 > 0:36:38It could be a director we know, a director we have no idea about.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40They're all pretty broad.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43So, what are you going to go for?
0:36:43 > 0:36:45Going to go for film directors.
0:36:45 > 0:36:46Film directors.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50Would you like to say roughly where you'd like it to be?
0:36:50 > 0:36:53Any particular film director you feel comfortable answering on?
0:36:53 > 0:36:56- It would have to be someone fairly recent.- Yeah.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59- The Cohen Brothers.- Danny Boyle.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02OK, well, let's find out what that question is.
0:37:02 > 0:37:03Good luck.
0:37:03 > 0:37:07We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many directors
0:37:07 > 0:37:10who have won more than one Oscar as they could.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12Richard?
0:37:12 > 0:37:15Yeah, we're looking for any director who's received more than one
0:37:15 > 0:37:17Academy Award for Best Director
0:37:17 > 0:37:20up to and including the 82nd Oscars in 2010.
0:37:20 > 0:37:24So, any director who's won two or more Oscars.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26OK, thanks very much, Richard.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29You now have up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:29 > 0:37:35All you need to win that £9,750 jackpot is for just one of those answers to be Pointless.
0:37:35 > 0:37:36Your 60 seconds starts now.
0:37:36 > 0:37:41That revision would have come in handy!
0:37:41 > 0:37:43Steven Spielberg?
0:37:43 > 0:37:46Star Wars. Tim Burton, that's not bad.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48George Lucas.
0:37:48 > 0:37:49Yeah.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54Danny Boyle's won one.
0:37:54 > 0:37:56Best Film.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59Who else can we think of?
0:38:00 > 0:38:02Anyone earlier?
0:38:02 > 0:38:07Someone like...
0:38:09 > 0:38:12Can we change the subject!
0:38:15 > 0:38:18What's the name, the Gran Torino bloke, Million Dollar Baby?
0:38:18 > 0:38:20Quentin Tarantino, no.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22No.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25So, who we going for?
0:38:25 > 0:38:29I think Tim Burton, but it's like Steven Spielberg seems obvious,
0:38:29 > 0:38:32but if we don't have anyone else...
0:38:32 > 0:38:33Five seconds.
0:38:33 > 0:38:35Think of anyone else?
0:38:37 > 0:38:39There is your time up.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44It's a tough one, we were looking for directors who've won more than one Oscar.
0:38:44 > 0:38:46I now need three answers from you.
0:38:46 > 0:38:48OK, we'll go for Tim Burton.
0:38:48 > 0:38:50Tim Burton.
0:38:50 > 0:38:53We'll go for George Lucas.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55George Lucas.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57And...
0:38:57 > 0:38:59Just say Danny Boyle. It could possibly.
0:38:59 > 0:39:01All right, Danny Boyle.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04And Danny Boyle.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07Of those three, which is your most confident answer,
0:39:07 > 0:39:09your best shot at a Pointless answer?
0:39:09 > 0:39:11I think if anyone's going to be Pointless
0:39:11 > 0:39:14Tim Burton's more likely out of the three.
0:39:14 > 0:39:15OK, we'll put him last.
0:39:15 > 0:39:17What's your least confident?
0:39:17 > 0:39:18George Lucas.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21Which puts Danny Boyle in the middle.
0:39:21 > 0:39:25OK, let's put them up on the board in that order, and here they are.
0:39:25 > 0:39:26George Lucas,
0:39:26 > 0:39:28Danny Boyle
0:39:28 > 0:39:29and Tim Burton.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32There we are, there are your three answers.
0:39:32 > 0:39:35We were looking for directors who have won more than one Oscar.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38You said this was your least confident answer.
0:39:38 > 0:39:43You only have to find one Pointless to win that jackpot of £9,750.
0:39:43 > 0:39:44So let's put your first one to the test
0:39:44 > 0:39:48and let's see if George Lucas is a correct answer and if it is,
0:39:48 > 0:39:51let's see how many people said George Lucas.
0:39:56 > 0:40:00Unfortunately, that's incorrect, so not a Pointless answer,
0:40:00 > 0:40:03which means you only have two more shots at today's jackpot.
0:40:03 > 0:40:08£9,750 - what would you do with that?
0:40:08 > 0:40:11Probably wine, women and song and the rest we'd probably waste!
0:40:15 > 0:40:17- Very good. - It's not very original, but...
0:40:17 > 0:40:19Very good.
0:40:19 > 0:40:21OK.
0:40:21 > 0:40:24We were looking for directors who've won more than one Oscar.
0:40:24 > 0:40:27- Your second answer, Danny Boyle, - let's hope nobody said that.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31It has to be correct, and it has to get all the way down to zero.
0:40:31 > 0:40:35Let's find out, is it right, and how many people said Danny Boyle?
0:40:40 > 0:40:41Oh, dear!
0:40:41 > 0:40:44Bad luck, also an incorrect answer.
0:40:44 > 0:40:47He's definitely won one, we know that.
0:40:47 > 0:40:48Slumdog Millionaire, yeah.
0:40:48 > 0:40:51OK, you only have one more chance to win today's jackpot,
0:40:51 > 0:40:54but this is the answer you had most faith in.
0:40:54 > 0:40:59You thought this was most likely to be a Pointless answer.
0:40:59 > 0:41:02OK, well let's put it to the test, there it is, Tim Burton.
0:41:02 > 0:41:06This has to be right and it has to go all the way down to zero.
0:41:07 > 0:41:08Let's find out.
0:41:08 > 0:41:12Tim Burton - is it right and if it is, how many people said Tim Burton?
0:41:15 > 0:41:16Oh, dear!
0:41:16 > 0:41:18Bad luck.
0:41:24 > 0:41:26Really, really tough category.
0:41:26 > 0:41:31Unfortunately, you didn't manage to find that Pointless answer,
0:41:31 > 0:41:34so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot of £9,750,
0:41:34 > 0:41:37which will roll over to the next show,
0:41:37 > 0:41:38but you have been fantastic contestants
0:41:38 > 0:41:42and you do get to take home our Pointless trophy, so very well done.
0:41:48 > 0:41:50So, Richard?
0:41:50 > 0:41:54Yes, you played so well throughout, tough category.
0:41:54 > 0:41:58Danny Boyle has won one, the other two haven't won any, I'm afraid.
0:41:58 > 0:42:01Let's take a look at the Pointless answers,
0:42:01 > 0:42:02see how many you got at home.
0:42:03 > 0:42:05Elia Kazan won two Oscars
0:42:05 > 0:42:08for Gentlemen's Agreement and On The Waterfront.
0:42:08 > 0:42:14Frank Borzage won the first Best Director's Oscar for Seventh Heaven,
0:42:14 > 0:42:17Fred Zinnemann won for From Here to Eternity,
0:42:17 > 0:42:19and for A Man For All Seasons.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22The next page, George Stevens won twice including for Giant,
0:42:22 > 0:42:25Joseph L Mankiewicz won twice including for All About Eve,
0:42:25 > 0:42:30Leah McCarey won it twice, these are all Pointless answers.
0:42:30 > 0:42:32Another early one, Lewis Milestone and then two bigger names,
0:42:32 > 0:42:36Milos Forman, who won for One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest and Amadeus,
0:42:36 > 0:42:40and then Oliver Stone, won for Platoon and Born On The 4th Of July.
0:42:40 > 0:42:43So, again, very well done if you got any of those at home.
0:42:44 > 0:42:45Well.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47Did you recognise any of those?
0:42:47 > 0:42:51Oliver Stone, possibly would be the only one I would have got out of them.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54The others were tough, weren't they? Quite specialist.
0:42:54 > 0:42:57Unfortunately, we do have to say goodbye to you Roy and Thomas.
0:42:57 > 0:42:59You've been great contestants, it's been fantastic having you on the show.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01Thanks so much for playing, thank you.
0:43:04 > 0:43:10So, nobody's won our jackpot today, which mean it is rolls over
0:43:10 > 0:43:13to the next show, when we will be playing for £10,750.
0:43:13 > 0:43:14CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:43:14 > 0:43:17Join us the next time to see if someone can win it.
0:43:17 > 0:43:19- Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard...- Goodbye.
0:43:19 > 0:43:21..and it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
