0:00:18 > 0:00:20CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:24 > 0:00:28Thank you. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong, and a warm welcome to Pointless -
0:00:28 > 0:00:31the quiz show where the lowest scorers are the biggest winners.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33Let's meet today's players.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36APPLAUSE
0:00:36 > 0:00:41First, we welcome back Ben and Lee. You were on the show last time.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43Everyone gets two chances to reach the final.
0:00:43 > 0:00:47This is your final chance. Remind us how you did last time.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50- Unfortunately, ballet got the better of me.- Ballet!
0:00:50 > 0:00:56- And I took a hit in the first round. - You did.- We're back. - Right in La Manche.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58- Oh, dear, oh, dear.- Still hurts.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01I bet it does, a very sensitive part, that.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Lee, what do you hope is going to come up this afternoon?
0:01:04 > 0:01:08What do we hope for? I think Ben's quite keen on some sport maybe...
0:01:08 > 0:01:11I said last time science was my strong bit,
0:01:11 > 0:01:13- so some science could be good.- OK!
0:01:13 > 0:01:16- Very best of luck to the pair of you.- Thanks.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Next, we welcome Sureeni and Olivia. How do you two know each other?
0:01:19 > 0:01:23Sureeni and I met almost ten years ago in a physics lesson at school,
0:01:23 > 0:01:27and we became such good friends, we same became known as Sulivia.
0:01:27 > 0:01:32- So, Olivia, what do you do now? - I'm a freelance production designer at the moment,
0:01:32 > 0:01:34after I graduated from uni.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37I work on events and independent films and things like that.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Very exciting. What are you working on?
0:01:39 > 0:01:43Um, I'm not allowed to say. There's a lot of confidentiality around it.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47Oh, just tell us, the Pointless audience. We're a discreet bunch.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49I don't want to get into trouble.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51OK! Sureeni, what do you do?
0:01:51 > 0:01:56- I'm currently looking for work in law, basically.- In law?- Yeah.
0:01:56 > 0:01:57Have you done a degree in law?
0:01:57 > 0:01:59Yeah, in the post-graduate courses.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02- You're dripping with qualifications! - I love exams.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05- I just... I feel this need to constantly be tested.- Very good.
0:02:05 > 0:02:10Let's hope you thrive under these conditions. And next, we welcome Richard and William.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14- How do you two know each other?- Hi. We came down from Somerset today.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18I met William about nine years ago when I started dating his sister,
0:02:18 > 0:02:22and I married his sister in 2004 and became his brother-in-law.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Does William know this? He does, yeah. Sorry.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28Something got all Jeremy Kyle there!
0:02:28 > 0:02:31- Right!- Wrong show.
0:02:31 > 0:02:38- Now, then, William, what do you do in Somerset?- Well, I'm a finance clerk on a motorway service area.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Not the most popular place to work in the world,
0:02:41 > 0:02:43- but someone's got to do it. - Popular to motorists!
0:02:43 > 0:02:46And they're the people that use it.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49I'll be looking out next time I'm driving. What's the road you're on?
0:02:49 > 0:02:52- On the M5 northbound. - The M5 northbound!
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Anyway, Richard, what do you do?
0:02:54 > 0:02:58I'm a househusband. I look after my two boys, aged three and one.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00What do you do in your spare time?
0:03:00 > 0:03:07I like to collect various things, and I paint very small fantasy figurines
0:03:07 > 0:03:09from Lord of the Rings and...
0:03:09 > 0:03:13I thought you were going to say, "I paint very, very small pictures"!
0:03:13 > 0:03:17Small figurines? Do you make the figurines, then...
0:03:17 > 0:03:20No, no. I buy them in the shops, yeah.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24You buy them plain and paint them. Why not just buy ready-painted ones?
0:03:24 > 0:03:29- I've missed the point there. - That's part of the hobby.- Oh, I see.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32Or another way to do it is not buy them at all!
0:03:32 > 0:03:34LAUGHTER
0:03:34 > 0:03:39Do they then have some sort of role in a wider universe?
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Yeah, there's a war game that you can play.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44- You can get rules for... - I feared as much, yes.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47- I thought we were... - Yes, I'm a geek.
0:03:47 > 0:03:52You're an excellent geek, Richard, and it's always a pleasure to have geeks on the show.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54The very, very best of luck to the pair of you.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58- Thank you.- And finally, we welcome back Joyce and Howard.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00You were on the show last time. Remind us how you did.
0:04:00 > 0:04:05- Well, it started off pretty well. I got a pointless answer in the first round.- Absolutely.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08And then it went downhill from there.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11What are you hoping for today, Joyce?
0:04:11 > 0:04:13I'm hoping for the swing era.
0:04:13 > 0:04:18- Lovely. And Howard? - Films, but not musical films.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21- Not musical films. Films of an altogether different bent.- Yeah.
0:04:21 > 0:04:22Right, let's leave it there!
0:04:22 > 0:04:25We'll find out more about all of you throughout the show.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28There's only one person left for me to introduce.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32He's a man who eats, sleeps and breathes obscure facts and figures.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35- He's my Pointless friend. He's Richard.- Hello.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Now, then, sir...
0:04:42 > 0:04:46We've got two returning pairs today. I was going to say it's good news for Ben and Lee
0:04:46 > 0:04:49because there's a sports question and a science question.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Joyce and Howard did rather well last time,
0:04:51 > 0:04:55so I suspect they may be sticking around. It should be a very interesting show.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Very, very interesting indeed.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01- Any rounds in particular we should be watching out for?- Yep.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03LAUGHTER
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Thank you. We've put all our questions to 100 people,
0:05:06 > 0:05:10but this is Pointless, so we're after obscure answers they didn't get.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12Everyone is trying to find a pointless answer -
0:05:12 > 0:05:15an answer that none of our 100 people gave,
0:05:15 > 0:05:18each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Now, Josh and Rob won the jackpot last time.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23That's two jackpots in two shows we've had,
0:05:23 > 0:05:27so today's jackpot starts off at £1,000.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:05:33 > 0:05:34Let's play Pointless.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:05:40 > 0:05:41In the first round,
0:05:41 > 0:05:44each of you must give me one answer, you cannot confer with your partner.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Whichever team has the highest score at the end of the round
0:05:47 > 0:05:49will, of course, be eliminated.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52If anyone gives me an incorrect answer,
0:05:52 > 0:05:54they score the maximum of 100 points.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58OK. Our first category this afternoon is...
0:05:59 > 0:06:02That's what everybody always asks for - sport.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Can you all decide who's going to go first and second?
0:06:06 > 0:06:09And whoever's going first, step up to the podium.
0:06:12 > 0:06:17OK. Let's find out what the question is. We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:06:17 > 0:06:20to name as many Commonwealth Games medallists as they could...
0:06:20 > 0:06:24Commonwealth Games medallists. Richard?
0:06:24 > 0:06:28Yeah, we're looking for any participating nation
0:06:28 > 0:06:31that won at least one gold at the 2010 Commonwealth Games in New Delhi.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35That includes the Paralympians, they're included in the medal table.
0:06:35 > 0:06:40So, any competing nation that won at least one gold medal at the 2010 Commonwealth Games.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42OK. Thank you very much, Richard. Now, then,
0:06:42 > 0:06:46Ben and Lee, you all drew lots before the show, and today, you get to go first.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50Ben, Commonwealth Games, I have a feeling you probably followed it.
0:06:50 > 0:06:56I didn't follow it, but I imagine that the big Commonwealth countries probably did quite well.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Um, I'm going to go for...
0:07:03 > 0:07:04I'm going to go for Canada.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08OK. You're hoping to score as few points as possible with Canada.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11Let's see if it's right, and if it is, let's see how many people said Canada.
0:07:19 > 0:07:20Very well done. 19, Ben.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Not a bad score at all.
0:07:24 > 0:07:2619 for Canada, Richard.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29Yeah, a safe start, Ben. They won 26 gold medals, Canada,
0:07:29 > 0:07:32including a clean sweep in the synchronised swimming,
0:07:32 > 0:07:34won all of them.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Canada's won every single synchronised swimming gold medal
0:07:37 > 0:07:39since the Commonwealth Games began.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42It's a good thing to be a specialist in, isn't it?
0:07:42 > 0:07:45It really is, yeah. Well done, them.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49Well done. Well done, Canada. Well done, Ben, as well.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52A good, nice low score there. Olivia, we come to you.
0:07:52 > 0:07:58Remember, we're looking for nations that won one or more gold medals at the 2010 Commonwealth Games.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05- Um...- Commonwealth at play, that's what it is.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08I think I'm going to have to go for a really obvious one
0:08:08 > 0:08:11because I've no clue. Australia?
0:08:11 > 0:08:14- Australia.- I don't know.
0:08:14 > 0:08:19You're hoping to score as few points as possible. Let's see if Australia is a correct answer,
0:08:19 > 0:08:22and if it is, how many of our 100 people said Australia. Good luck.
0:08:25 > 0:08:26Well, it's right.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31- Still going down into the 30s... 34. - APPLAUSE
0:08:31 > 0:08:34That's not a terrible answer by any means, Olivia.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Well done.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Yeah, well done, Olivia.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41How many gold medals do you reckon Australia won at the Commonwealth Games?
0:08:41 > 0:08:44I think maybe they won 23.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46They won 74.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50- Oh, God.- That is a lot, isn't it?
0:08:51 > 0:08:54I think that's too many. That's too many.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56I personally think that's too many as well.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59I think the Australians should probably return a few.
0:08:59 > 0:09:04Now, then, Richard, you're looking for a nation that won a gold medal at the 2010 Commonwealth Games.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06And you want a nice obscure one.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10I'm going to take a gamble at Nigeria.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13OK. A gamble at Nigeria. Let's see if that's a correct answer,
0:09:13 > 0:09:16and if it is let's see how many of our 100 people said Nigeria.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25Very well done, Richard. It's going all the way down. Look at that!
0:09:25 > 0:09:30Very good! Absolutely all the way down!
0:09:30 > 0:09:35You took a gamble on Nigeria, it paid off massively. That's a pointless answer.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39It adds £250 to today's jackpot, taking the total up to £1,250,
0:09:39 > 0:09:42and it scores you nothing.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Perfect answer.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49Well played. They won 11 golds, including five in weightlifting.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53- Very well done, Richard, great answer.- Now, then, Joyce...
0:09:53 > 0:09:56This is the worst subject I think I could have had,
0:09:56 > 0:10:01but I'm going to take a bit of a gamble,
0:10:01 > 0:10:04and I'm going to say Jamaica.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08You're saying Jamaica. Let's see if it's right and how many people said it, Jamaica.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Very well done, Joyce.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17A good answer. Down it goes.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Eight!
0:10:19 > 0:10:22APPLAUSE
0:10:22 > 0:10:26Jamaica scores you 8, Joyce, a lovely low score. Richard?
0:10:26 > 0:10:29Well played, Joyce. You're getting hearty from Howard there.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32They won two golds in athletics, despite most of their big stars not showing up.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Thanks very much, Richard.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38So we're halfway through the round, let's take a look at the scores as they stand...
0:10:38 > 0:10:41On no points at all, Richard and William.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43Then we go up to Joyce and Howard on 8,
0:10:43 > 0:10:46up to 19 for Ben and Lee,
0:10:46 > 0:10:48and then a little bit out in front, Olivia on 34,
0:10:48 > 0:10:52so Sureeni, you have a bit of a mountain to climb on the next pass,
0:10:52 > 0:10:54but I'm sure you'll be able to do it.
0:10:54 > 0:10:58We're going to come down the line. Can the second players take their places?
0:11:01 > 0:11:07OK. We are looking for nations that won one or more gold medals at the 2010 Commonwealth Games.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11Now, Howard, how brilliantly did Joyce do?
0:11:11 > 0:11:13- That was a great answer. - It was, yeah.
0:11:13 > 0:11:18And she was guessing, whereas she knew that you were the expert.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21Now, our high scorers on 34 are Sureeni and Olivia.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23If you can score 25 or less
0:11:23 > 0:11:27with this answer, you are definitely in the next round.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29Remember, we are looking for nations
0:11:29 > 0:11:34that won one or more gold medals at the 2010 Commonwealth Games.
0:11:34 > 0:11:35My initial thought,
0:11:35 > 0:11:40and I'm going to stick with that, is New Zealand.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43- New Zealand.- Mmm.
0:11:43 > 0:11:44OK. There is your red line.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46Let's see if New Zealand is right
0:11:46 > 0:11:49and if it gets you below that red line.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52How many people said New Zealand?
0:11:55 > 0:11:58Well done. It's right.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01Down it comes. Very well done indeed.
0:12:01 > 0:12:02Eight.
0:12:02 > 0:12:06You equal your mother's low score,
0:12:06 > 0:12:10takes your total up to 16, and you are through to the next round.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13- Richard, New Zealand? - Yeah, safely through. Well, played.
0:12:13 > 0:12:14Now then, William,
0:12:14 > 0:12:17we are looking for nations that won at least one gold medal
0:12:17 > 0:12:19at the 2010 Commonwealth Games.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Richard found a pointless.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24As Richard found a pointless, I'm going to try and play it pretty safe.
0:12:24 > 0:12:29I've got a slightly more dodgy one I was thinking of if I needed to, but I'll play it safe.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31I'll go for the host nation, India.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34India, right you are.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37Well, Sureeni and Olivia are on 34.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41You need to score 33 or less to be sure of a place in the next round.
0:12:41 > 0:12:42You're going for India.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45It's safe. Is it too safe? There's your red line.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48Below that red line, you are through to the next round.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52Let's see if it's right, and if it is, let's see how many people said India.
0:12:55 > 0:12:56It's right.
0:12:59 > 0:13:00Good enough.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02Very well done, 16.
0:13:02 > 0:13:06Takes your total up to 16.
0:13:06 > 0:13:07Well done, William.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10Yeah, well done, William. As you say, the host nation.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14They won 39 golds, which is their best ever tally.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16OK. Thanks very much. Now, Sureeni...
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Yep.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20- ..you know what you have to do. - I do.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Bearing in mind that, yeah,
0:13:22 > 0:13:25this is probably a really bad category for me as well.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27I'm going to just say Kenya. Hopefully...
0:13:27 > 0:13:29You're going to say Kenya.
0:13:29 > 0:13:30- Yeah.- Hopefully?- Yes.
0:13:30 > 0:13:35No red line for you, Sureeni and Olivia because you are the high scorers on 34.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38You just have to hope that you score as little as possible with Kenya.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42Let's see if it's right. If it is, let's see how many people said Kenya.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46Well done, Sureeni, very well done.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53That's a brilliant, brilliant answer!
0:13:55 > 0:14:00- 7 takes your total up to 41. Richard, Kenya.- Yeah, might just have kept yourself in it there,
0:14:00 > 0:14:03they won 12 golds, 11 of them in athletics, 1 in swimming.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07Thank you very much, Richard.
0:14:07 > 0:14:12Now, then, Lee and Ben, you are on 19.
0:14:12 > 0:14:16You have to score 21 or less to be sure of a place in the next round.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Sureeni and Olivia are still the high scorers on 41.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23Remember, we are looking for nations that won one or more gold medals
0:14:23 > 0:14:26at the 2010 Commonwealth Games. What are you thinking, Lee?
0:14:26 > 0:14:33I was thinking South Africa, but I don't know if that's going to be lower than 21.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36Maybe Pakistan, possibly?
0:14:36 > 0:14:38- Pakistan. - You're going to say Pakistan.
0:14:38 > 0:14:43OK. There is your red line. If Pakistan is a correct answer,
0:14:43 > 0:14:47let's hope it gets you below the red line, but it has to be correct. How many people said Pakistan?
0:14:47 > 0:14:49Good luck, Lee.
0:14:52 > 0:14:58It's right. It's right, Lee. Very well done.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00And you are through to the next round.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02Very, very, very good answer, Lee.
0:15:05 > 0:15:09That scores you 2, takes your total up to 21 and sees you through to the next round.
0:15:09 > 0:15:10Pakistan, Richard?
0:15:10 > 0:15:15Well done, Lee. They won two golds, Pakistan. Do you know what they won them in?
0:15:15 > 0:15:17- I don't.- Wrestling.
0:15:17 > 0:15:24- And wrestling. - Wrestling and wrestling, yeah. Won them both in wrestling.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26Let's take a look at the pointless answers. Quite a few.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Well done at home if you said any.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30There's the Bahamas. They won the high jump.
0:15:30 > 0:15:35Cyprus won four gold medals in shooting and gymnastics.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Malaysia won 12 gold medals.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40They dominated the badminton, the Malaysians.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44Let's take a look at the next page. Nauru won one. They won a weightlifting medal.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Nigeria we have had from Richard.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49Samoa won three weightlifting gold medals.
0:15:49 > 0:15:54Singapore, they won ten golds, five of them in table tennis, five of them in shooting.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57If they combine those two games, they'll be world beaters.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00St Vincent and the Grenadines won the women's 100 metres.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03They won one gold, and there's Uganda. The 5,000 metres
0:16:03 > 0:16:05and 10,000 metres, men's gold medals.
0:16:05 > 0:16:10Let's have a look at the worst answers you could have given. The ones that most of our 100 said.
0:16:10 > 0:16:15Scotland scored 21. Obviously, the UK nations compete individually in the Commonwealth Games.
0:16:15 > 0:16:22Then Australia we've already heard on 34 and England up the top there on 39.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26Thanks, Richard. At the end of Round One, the losing pair with the highest score...
0:16:26 > 0:16:31Sorry it's you, Sureeni and Olivia. Sulivia. Yeah, Sulivia.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35Yeah, we both knew sport would be our Achilles heel.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Oh, dear. And 41. It's a fantastic combined score.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39You'll be back next time.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42What lessons have you learnt from your brief time?
0:16:42 > 0:16:45To learn more stuff.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48Sureeni, I don't believe that I'm sure you...
0:16:48 > 0:16:50I'm SURE you have learnt masses and masses.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54This just fell badly for you. You didn't want the Commonwealth Games.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56Hopefully, sport won't come up again.
0:16:56 > 0:17:01We will look forward to seeing you next time, but for now, Sulivia, well done.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08For the remaining pairs, it's time for Round Two.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17Obviously only two pairs can make it through to the head-to-head,
0:17:17 > 0:17:20so one team will be leaving at the end of this round.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23Our category for Round Two this afternoon...
0:17:27 > 0:17:28Pop music.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first and second?
0:17:32 > 0:17:36Whoever's first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:38 > 0:17:44OK. Our Round Two question concerns '90s albums and their artists.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47'90s albums and their artists.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51In this round, we're about to show you a list of titles of classic '90s albums.
0:17:51 > 0:17:55We asked 100 people to tell us who released them.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59- Richard?- Yeah, we're going to show you six albums in each pass.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03The more obscure the album, the fewer points you'll score for telling us the artist.
0:18:03 > 0:18:07If you give us an incorrect answer, though, you'll score 100 points.
0:18:07 > 0:18:08OK. Thanks, Richard.
0:18:08 > 0:18:13We're looking for the artists who released these albums. Here we go.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35OK, Lee. There are the albums.
0:18:35 > 0:18:40You need to pick a nice obscure one and tell me who released it.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43Whatever I go for is going to be a complete guess.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46- Every single thing on that... - Literally, none...
0:18:46 > 0:18:50Even some of the CLASSIC albums on that... Sorry, I'm making it worse.
0:18:50 > 0:18:55- The most famous albums of all time! - I actually don't have a clue.
0:18:55 > 0:19:00You are worrying Ben.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02I'm worrying myself.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05OK. I'm going to go for Jagged Little Pill...
0:19:05 > 0:19:09Oh, no. I don't know. Oh, God!
0:19:11 > 0:19:13- OK. I'm going to go for...- Yeah?
0:19:13 > 0:19:16- Dangerous.- Yes.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Britney Spears.
0:19:22 > 0:19:23I haven't got a clue.
0:19:23 > 0:19:28I don't know. Dangerous... Britney Spears.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Now that the audience have laughed, maybe I should change it!
0:19:32 > 0:19:35Don't take their word for it. Well, maybe do, but...
0:19:35 > 0:19:39I haven't a clue. No-one looks to the name of the album. You just listen to the songs.
0:19:39 > 0:19:45Exactly. Which is why everyone's in the same boat, so you might still be with us for the head-to-head.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47Let's put it to the test.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49Dangerous, Britney Spears.
0:19:49 > 0:19:54Is Dangerous by Britney Spears? And if it is let's see how many people said Dangerous, Britney Spears.
0:19:57 > 0:20:02Bad luck. Bad luck. But Lee, no. You did the right thing. You did exactly the right thing.
0:20:02 > 0:20:03You took a punt. It's impossible.
0:20:03 > 0:20:09If you don't know the names of the albums, you have to make something up, and that was a decent guess.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11It just happened to be wrong.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15- OK. And it scores you 100 points but it was a good guess.- Thanks.
0:20:16 > 0:20:21It's a good description of Britney Spears, but not a Britney Spears album.
0:20:21 > 0:20:26I won't say who did do that album just in case William or Joyce want to have a go at that.
0:20:26 > 0:20:31Now then, William. You have a clean board.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Pop music is not a strong point of mine,
0:20:33 > 0:20:37and, like Lee, I've never heard of four of them.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40And...I'm going to go for Parklife because I'm pretty sure
0:20:40 > 0:20:43that Blur had a hit song with Parklife,
0:20:43 > 0:20:47and I'm hoping they have an album of the same title. So I'm going to say Parklife, Blur.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49Parklife for Blur.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52Let's see if that's a correct answer and if so,
0:20:52 > 0:20:56let's see how many people knew that Blur released Parklife.
0:20:59 > 0:21:00Very well done.
0:21:02 > 0:21:0358.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09High score, there, William. But 58, Blur, Parklife.
0:21:09 > 0:21:14Pretty big score. Reached number one in 1994. It was their third album.
0:21:15 > 0:21:20Thanks very much, Richard. So, Joyce, you are the last person to have this board.
0:21:21 > 0:21:26- I've never heard of any of them. - Well, there you are, Lee, you see?
0:21:27 > 0:21:29So I'm going to have a guess.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33I was going to guess Parklife, but that's gone,
0:21:33 > 0:21:36and I wasn't going to say Blur anyway.
0:21:36 > 0:21:41I shall go for Nevermind, which is how I'm feeling,
0:21:41 > 0:21:45and I will say Beyonce.
0:21:45 > 0:21:51- Nevermind, Beyonce.- Yes. - There it is - Nevermind, Beyonce.
0:21:51 > 0:21:56Let's see if that's right. If it is, let's see how many people said Nevermind was by Beyonce.
0:22:01 > 0:22:02Yes.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05I think you'd have been terrified if that had been right,
0:22:05 > 0:22:07wouldn't you, Joyce?
0:22:07 > 0:22:10That was an incorrect answer. You score the maximum of 100 points
0:22:10 > 0:22:12and you're in very, very good company.
0:22:12 > 0:22:16Yes, unlucky, Joyce. Another good guess. Nevermind is by Nirvana.
0:22:16 > 0:22:22Would have scored you 25 points. Dangerous, not Britney Spears.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26Michael Jackson, 34 points.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Automatic For The People also
0:22:28 > 0:22:30would have scored you 34 points. That's REM.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34Jagged Little Pill was Alanis Morissette.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38That would have scored you 39, and Ten is the best answer on the board.
0:22:38 > 0:22:43- Do you know who Ten is by? - I don't know who Ten is by.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46- It's by a sort of sub-Nirvana type band.- Pearl Jam.- It's Pearl Jam.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48That's exactly the right answer.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Pearl Jam would have scored you five points, so well done if you said that.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55OK, then, we're half way through the round.
0:22:55 > 0:22:59What a first pass it has been! Let's take a look at the scores.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03- William and Richard on 58. Who would have thought, there you are!- Not me!
0:23:03 > 0:23:05Joyce and Lee, you both did what you had to.
0:23:05 > 0:23:09An almost impossible position to be in but you did admirably.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12You named acts that exist, which is something.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14LAUGHTER
0:23:14 > 0:23:17Howard and Ben, you're going to have to jockey for whoever gets
0:23:17 > 0:23:20to stay and who we'll be saying goodbye to at the end of this round.
0:23:20 > 0:23:24OK, we're going to come back down the line. Can the second players please take their place?
0:23:28 > 0:23:33OK, we're going to put six more classic '90s albums up on the board, and here we go.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43Let me read those one more time.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47OK Computer, Definitely Maybe, Play, Everything changes,
0:23:47 > 0:23:49The Immaculate Collection and Music Box.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53Remember, we are looking for the artists who released them.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57You're trying to find the one that the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00- Howard?- I was happier with the other selection.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02I knew five out of the six.
0:24:02 > 0:24:09I saw a two on here, so I'm going to play it safe. OK Computer, Radiohead.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11OK Computer, Radiohead?
0:24:11 > 0:24:15No red line for you because you are the high scorers.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18You just have to hope this goes down as low as possible.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20Let's see if OK Computer is by Radiohead,
0:24:20 > 0:24:23and if so, how many people knew that answer.
0:24:31 > 0:24:3229.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34APPLAUSE
0:24:35 > 0:24:38Not a bad score. It takes your total up to 129. Richard?
0:24:38 > 0:24:41Yeah, well played, Howard.
0:24:41 > 0:24:46In 2010, Q Magazine voted OK Computer the best album of the past 25 years.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49OK, thank you very much indeed.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52Now, Richard, the high scorers are Howard and Joyce with 129.
0:24:52 > 0:24:57You're on 58, which means, were you to score 70 or less
0:24:57 > 0:25:01with this answer, you'd go straight through to the head-to-head.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05What are you thinking about that board behind me?
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Er, there's a couple I think I know.
0:25:07 > 0:25:13I think I'll go for Definitely Maybe, which I think was Oasis.
0:25:13 > 0:25:17Definitely Maybe, Oasis. Here's your red line coming in.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20If Oasis, Definitely Maybe gets you below that red line,
0:25:20 > 0:25:22you're in the head-to-head. Let's see.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25Definitely Maybe, is that right? Is it by Oasis?
0:25:25 > 0:25:27How many people knew that answer?
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Very well done, Richard.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33Very well done. You are through to the head-to-head.
0:25:33 > 0:25:3444, that scores you.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37Takes your total up to 102.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42- Richard?- Yeah, high-scoring round, isn't it?
0:25:42 > 0:25:45That's their debut album from 1994, Definitely Maybe.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47Now then, Ben.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51You have a bit of a job on your hands.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55The high scorers are Howard and Joyce on 129.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59If you can score 28 or less with this answer...
0:26:00 > 0:26:04Um, the only one I can actually have a guess at,
0:26:04 > 0:26:07and even this is 60%, maybe,
0:26:07 > 0:26:11is Everything Changes and this is going to be way higher
0:26:11 > 0:26:14than I need it to be but I can't guess,
0:26:14 > 0:26:17so I'm going to guess, Everything Changes, Take That!
0:26:17 > 0:26:20Everything Changes, Take That?
0:26:20 > 0:26:25Lee is nodding. OK, well, there is your bar.
0:26:25 > 0:26:29The red line has just come in. You want to be scoring 28 or less.
0:26:29 > 0:26:33Let's see if Everything Changes is by Take That, and how many people said it.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36It's right.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40Ooh, down it comes.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Yes! Very well done, Ben.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46Very, very well done indeed.
0:26:46 > 0:26:51That scores you 23 and it takes you up to a winning 123. Richard.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54- That's cheered them up, hasn't it? - Yeah.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57They loved that, yeah. Well worked out.
0:26:57 > 0:27:01Everything Changes, famous Take That song. Also the name of an album, 23 points.
0:27:01 > 0:27:02The rest of the board -
0:27:02 > 0:27:07The Immaculate Collection is Madonna, of course, would've scored 40 points.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11Play was by Moby, would've scored you 12 points
0:27:11 > 0:27:15and Music Box was the best answer on the board. That was by Mariah Carey.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17Nine points. Well done if you got that at home.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20And well done if you got all 12.
0:27:20 > 0:27:25Well done if you haven't got Music Box by Mariah Carey at home.
0:27:25 > 0:27:26LAUGHTER
0:27:26 > 0:27:29Thanks, Richard. So, at the end of round two,
0:27:29 > 0:27:32the losing pair with the highest score is Joyce and Howard.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35Everyone sad to see you go. You've been fantastic contestants.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37What could we have done
0:27:37 > 0:27:39to have made it better for you?
0:27:39 > 0:27:41Um, not have
0:27:41 > 0:27:43'90s albums.
0:27:43 > 0:27:47You see, Joyce, I... A bit of swing for you?
0:27:47 > 0:27:50- Yes.- Well, thank you very much, you've been brilliant contestants.
0:27:50 > 0:27:51Thank you for coming.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53APPLAUSE
0:27:54 > 0:27:56But for the remaining two pairs,
0:27:56 > 0:27:59things get more exciting now as we enter the head-to-head.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08Very well done. Richard and William, Ben and Lee,
0:28:08 > 0:28:10you've made it to the head-to-head.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12Only one pair can go through to the final
0:28:12 > 0:28:18and Play for Today's jackpot, which currently stands at £1,250.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20APPLAUSE AND WHOOPING
0:28:22 > 0:28:25You're going to go head-to-head on the best of three questions.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29For each question, each pair needs to give me one answer,
0:28:29 > 0:28:31and you are allowed to confer.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34All you have to do is come up with an answer that scores less
0:28:34 > 0:28:36than the other pair and you will win that question.
0:28:36 > 0:28:40The pair who gets the best of three will be playing for today's jackpot.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42Let's play Pointless!
0:28:47 > 0:28:49OK, here is your first question.
0:28:49 > 0:28:55We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many chemical elements
0:28:55 > 0:28:59with five letters or fewer in their name.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02Chemical elements with five letters or fewer in their name. Richard?
0:29:02 > 0:29:07Yeah, any chemical element found on the periodic table whose name has five letters or fewer,
0:29:07 > 0:29:12and we're looking for the common English names as used in the Oxford Dictionary.
0:29:12 > 0:29:14There are 10 elements on the list.
0:29:14 > 0:29:18Thank you very much, Richard. Richard and William, because you've played best
0:29:18 > 0:29:21throughout the show so far, you get to go first.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24We're looking for chemical elements
0:29:24 > 0:29:26with five letters or fewer in their name.
0:29:26 > 0:29:27THEY CONFER INAUDIBLY
0:29:27 > 0:29:29- You happy with that?- Yeah.
0:29:30 > 0:29:34- OK, we have an answer.- Xenon.- Xenon?
0:29:34 > 0:29:39Ben and Lee cannot believe that!
0:29:39 > 0:29:44Honestly, it's easy to say now, but that was the first thing I said to Lee, as soon as I saw it.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47See there are obvious ones like boron, radon,
0:29:47 > 0:29:51erm, xenon is going to be the best one, I think.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57I don't want to say iron or lead, it's way too easy.
0:29:57 > 0:29:58Erm...
0:29:58 > 0:30:02- Sulphur... - Neon?- Neon, no, it's too easy.
0:30:02 > 0:30:06- Erm...- Just go with boron.- OK.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09I think we're going to go for boron.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11- You're going for boron?- Yeah.
0:30:11 > 0:30:13OK. We have xenon and boron.
0:30:15 > 0:30:20They went for Xenon. Let's see if that's right, and if so, how many people said xenon.
0:30:35 > 0:30:39Eight for xenon. Where do you think boron will be in relation to that?
0:30:39 > 0:30:43- Higher than that.- I don't know. We could be all right.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46Let's see. Boron is what Ben and Lee have gone for.
0:30:46 > 0:30:50Let's see if that's right, and if it is, how many people said boron.
0:30:59 > 0:31:00Oh, wow!
0:31:06 > 0:31:08Well, there you are.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11Couldn't be closer.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13By a whisker, xenon wins it for Richard and William.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16After the first question, they are up 1-0. Richard.
0:31:16 > 0:31:21There were two answers that would've beaten xenon and you said one of them.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24- You had it, but chose not to use it.- Radon?- Radon, exactly right.
0:31:24 > 0:31:25It was the lowest answer of all.
0:31:25 > 0:31:29Well done if you said radon. Let's take a look at all of them.
0:31:29 > 0:31:33Radon with four, tin with seven. Everybody forgot tin.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36Xenon with eight. Neon and boron with nine.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41Argon, 16, zinc, 17,
0:31:41 > 0:31:43lead, 19, gold, 23
0:31:43 > 0:31:46and iron, 30, right at the top.
0:31:47 > 0:31:52Very well done, both pairs there. Richard and William, well done.
0:31:52 > 0:31:56You just pipped it. Here's your second question. Ben and Lee,
0:31:56 > 0:31:58you have to get this point to stay in the game.
0:31:58 > 0:32:02We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name
0:32:02 > 0:32:05as many presenters of Desert Island Discs
0:32:05 > 0:32:08as they could. Presenters of Desert Island Discs.
0:32:08 > 0:32:12- Richard?- We're looking for any of the four presenters
0:32:12 > 0:32:18of Radio 4's Desert Island Discs from its inception to the start of 2011.
0:32:19 > 0:32:24- Thanks. Ben and Lee get to go first. - We get to go first?- Yeah.
0:32:24 > 0:32:28I'm going to pass this over to Lee cos he thinks he's got an idea.
0:32:28 > 0:32:32- I genuinely have never heard of it. - I know who the current presenter is.
0:32:32 > 0:32:36But I can't think of the man who presented it before her
0:32:36 > 0:32:40and I'm sure there's been many other presenters before that. I'm going for Kirsty Wark.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45- Kirsty Wark, OK. - I hope she's the current presenter.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47Richard and William.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53I think Sue Lawley might have hosted it, but I'm not sure.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55I think Kirsty Young has.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58Was Roy Plomley the first? I know he came up with it.
0:32:58 > 0:33:02I'm almost certain Kirsty Young has done it.
0:33:02 > 0:33:04- Oh, no. - RIPPLE OF LAUGHTER
0:33:04 > 0:33:05Ah...
0:33:07 > 0:33:11Kirsty Young. Well, let's just see.
0:33:11 > 0:33:15Ben and Lee have gone for Kirsty Wark.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18Let's see if it's right, and if so, how many people said it.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24Bad luck, bad luck, bad luck.
0:33:24 > 0:33:30Richard and William, this only needs to be correct for you to go through to the final.
0:33:30 > 0:33:34You say Kirsty Young. Let's see if it's right, and if so, how many people said it.
0:33:36 > 0:33:37You're through.
0:33:46 > 0:33:52Surprisingly low score there for Kirsty Young. After two questions,
0:33:52 > 0:33:56Richard and William are through to the final. Richard.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58Bad luck, guys. I can see what you were going for.
0:33:58 > 0:34:02There was one answer that would have beaten Kirsty Young.
0:34:02 > 0:34:07It was Michael Parkinson, who presented from 1985 to 1987. Would have scored you six points.
0:34:07 > 0:34:11There's Kirsty Young on 11, Roy Plomley, the guy who came up with it
0:34:11 > 0:34:14and presented it first, on 14.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17Sue Lawley, took over from Parkinson, on 16.
0:34:17 > 0:34:24Thanks, Richard. The losing pair at the end of the head-to-head, I'm sorry, Ben and Lee, it's you.
0:34:24 > 0:34:28You've done incredibly well. It's been a fantastic show.
0:34:28 > 0:34:33You've been very entertaining. Thank you so much. Brilliant contestants.
0:34:33 > 0:34:34APPLAUSE
0:34:36 > 0:34:41For Richard and William, it's time for our Pointless final, and the chance to win our jackpot of £1,250.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51Congratulations. You've fought off the competition
0:34:51 > 0:34:53and you've won our coveted Pointless trophy. Well done.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04Now you have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:04 > 0:35:09At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £1,250.
0:35:12 > 0:35:16To win the money, all you have to do is find a pointless answer,
0:35:16 > 0:35:18an answer none of our 100 people could think of.
0:35:18 > 0:35:22We had one pointless answer today from Richard with Nigeria
0:35:22 > 0:35:26in the first round. You only need to find one more to go home with that money.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29First, choose a category from these three options.
0:35:35 > 0:35:36Oh, hello!
0:35:37 > 0:35:40I think I know what's coming here. >
0:35:40 > 0:35:44What're you going for, Richard? It's going to be fashion, isn't it?
0:35:45 > 0:35:48I think we'll have to go for fantasy fiction.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50- I think you will. Very good. - APPLAUSE
0:35:55 > 0:35:57What would you like that question to be, Richard?
0:35:57 > 0:36:00Something to do with Lord Of The Rings would be nice.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03You know that backwards, do you?
0:36:03 > 0:36:05I've read it a couple of times, yeah.
0:36:05 > 0:36:10- William, do you have a say in this? - Anything Richard can answer!
0:36:10 > 0:36:13Brilliant. Let's find out what that question is. Good luck.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:36:15 > 0:36:21to name as many Discworld books by Terry Pratchett.
0:36:21 > 0:36:26- Richard.- We're looking for any Terry Pratchett book in the Discworld series.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29That includes the young adult Discworld series as well.
0:36:29 > 0:36:37We're not looking for guides and supplements such as Nanny Ogg's Cookbook or Where's My Cow.
0:36:37 > 0:36:41We won't accept those, just any book in the Terry Pratchett Discworld series,
0:36:41 > 0:36:47including the young adult Discworld series as of the start of 2011.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50You have one minute to come up with three answers.
0:36:50 > 0:36:56All you need to win is for just one of those answers to be pointless. Your 60 seconds start now.
0:36:56 > 0:37:00It's whatever you think cos I don't know any of it.
0:37:00 > 0:37:04I'm not too hot on Terry Pratchett myself, to be honest.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07Wrong author for me. I haven't read any of his books.
0:37:10 > 0:37:14- Do you know the titles of...? - I think I know the title of a few.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16Just think of the ones. Any of them.
0:37:20 > 0:37:25I can only think of two off the top of my head. Um...
0:37:26 > 0:37:30- What are they?- I think there was one called The Colour Of Magic.
0:37:31 > 0:37:36- I think there was one called Men At Arms.- So we'll go for those two.
0:37:38 > 0:37:43Something like that. I've got to be honest, I don't know.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46Just come up with a possible title.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53- Um...- Five seconds.
0:37:55 > 0:37:56I don't have a third one.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59That is your time up.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02We were looking for Discworld books by Terry Pratchett.
0:38:02 > 0:38:06I now need three answers from you. Just three answers.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08What can you give me?
0:38:09 > 0:38:11I can only think of two.
0:38:11 > 0:38:15And I'm very iffy on them, to be honest.
0:38:15 > 0:38:19He's not my author at all. I haven't read any Terry Pratchett novels.
0:38:19 > 0:38:21I am going to go for Men At Arms.
0:38:21 > 0:38:22Men At Arms.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25- The Colour Of Magic. - The Colour Of Magic.
0:38:25 > 0:38:30And we'll go for The Court Jester.
0:38:30 > 0:38:34- The Court Jester.- That's a complete guess.- A complete guess.
0:38:34 > 0:38:38One of these days, a complete guess is going to win the jackpot.
0:38:38 > 0:38:40Maybe that's this afternoon.
0:38:40 > 0:38:45Of those three, which do you reckon is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:45 > 0:38:49- Probably Men At Arms. - Men At Arms, we'll put at last.
0:38:49 > 0:38:53Your least confident, we'll put The Court Jester right at the top.
0:38:53 > 0:38:57We'll put them up on the board in that order and here we go.
0:38:57 > 0:39:01The Court Jester, The Colour Of Magic and Men At Arms.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04There they are, up on the board.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07We were looking for Terry Pratchett Discworld books.
0:39:07 > 0:39:10You said this was your least confident answer.
0:39:10 > 0:39:14You only have to find one pointless answer to win that £1,250 jackpot.
0:39:14 > 0:39:18Let's see if The Court Jester by some fluke
0:39:18 > 0:39:23is a Terry Pratchett book and if it is, let's see if anyone thought of it.
0:39:23 > 0:39:24The Court Jester.
0:39:29 > 0:39:31- AUDIENCE GROANS - Bad luck.
0:39:31 > 0:39:33One of these days, that is going to happen.
0:39:33 > 0:39:37It's going to be something in the back of your head triggered that thought.
0:39:37 > 0:39:41Didn't happen today. Unfortunately, that's not a pointless answer.
0:39:41 > 0:39:44You only have two more chances to win today's jackpot.
0:39:44 > 0:39:47£1,250, how would you spend that?
0:39:47 > 0:39:51I'd probably put it towards funds to help myself
0:39:51 > 0:39:55- get some more tickets at the Olympics next year.- Very good.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58- What about you, Richard? - Family day out, I think.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01Family day out, excellent.
0:40:01 > 0:40:05Let's hope one of these two remaining answers does it for you,
0:40:05 > 0:40:08The Colour Of Magic is your second choice.
0:40:08 > 0:40:11Let's hope nobody said The Colour Of Magic.
0:40:11 > 0:40:17It has to be right obviously and it has to be pointless for you to win the jackpot of £1,250.
0:40:17 > 0:40:21Let's see how many people said The Colour Of Magic.
0:40:21 > 0:40:22It's right.
0:40:22 > 0:40:28We don't at this stage know how well versed our 100 people are
0:40:28 > 0:40:32in Terry Pratchett so this could go all the way down.
0:40:33 > 0:40:36- Ooh, the single figures. - APPLAUSE
0:40:41 > 0:40:44Very well done. Nine. An excellent score in normal play.
0:40:46 > 0:40:49Sadly, we're only interested in pointless answers at this point.
0:40:49 > 0:40:52I'm afraid that wasn't a pointless answer.
0:40:52 > 0:40:55You only have one more chance to win today's jackpot
0:40:55 > 0:40:58of £1,250.
0:40:58 > 0:41:02Your last answer, Men At Arms.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05You said this was the answer you had most faith in.
0:41:05 > 0:41:10Yeah. I vaguely remember a book. I think it was called that.
0:41:10 > 0:41:14But I'm not absolutely 100% certain.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17The Colour Of Magic came down to nine.
0:41:18 > 0:41:23If Men At Arms is right, you think it'll go a lot further down.
0:41:23 > 0:41:25- I'm hoping so!- So do I!
0:41:25 > 0:41:27Only one way to find out.
0:41:27 > 0:41:32This has to be pointless to you to win that jackpot of £1,250.
0:41:32 > 0:41:36Men At Arms was the answer you had the most faith in to be pointless. Let's see it it's right
0:41:36 > 0:41:40and if it is, let's see how many people said Men At Arms.
0:41:42 > 0:41:47Oh, it's right, Richard. It's right.
0:41:47 > 0:41:49Colour Of Magic went all the way down to nine.
0:41:49 > 0:41:52This is a much better shot.
0:41:52 > 0:41:55Let's see, down it goes! Oh!
0:42:01 > 0:42:06Wow. Well, that was close. Unfortunately, however, you didn't manage to find that all-important
0:42:06 > 0:42:10pointless answer so I'm afraid you don't win today's jackpot,
0:42:10 > 0:42:14which means that will roll over to the next show. You have been amazing contestants.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17You do get to take home this Pointless trophy. Very well done.
0:42:17 > 0:42:20APPLAUSE
0:42:22 > 0:42:27- So, Richard?- Valiant effort, wasn't it? Unlucky, guys.
0:42:27 > 0:42:31Let's take a look at some of the answers. I hope you don't recognise any of them.
0:42:32 > 0:42:37The Last Hero, The Last Continent, The Truth, they were all pointless answers.
0:42:37 > 0:42:39- Nothing there?- No.- No.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42The Amazing Maurice And His Educated Rodents.
0:42:42 > 0:42:45- No.- That was a pointless answer. Carpe Jugulum, Jingo...
0:42:47 > 0:42:51..Feet Of Clay, Monstrous Regiment and Maskerade.
0:42:51 > 0:42:55All of those are pointless. Well done if you said any of them at home.
0:42:55 > 0:42:59It's a bit of a relief when contestants don't know all the things!
0:42:59 > 0:43:02We do have to say goodbye to you, Richard and William.
0:43:02 > 0:43:05Thank you so much for playing. Great contestants.
0:43:05 > 0:43:06APPLAUSE
0:43:09 > 0:43:13Nobody won our jackpot today which means it rolls over to the next show,
0:43:13 > 0:43:15when we will be playing for £2,250.
0:43:20 > 0:43:24- Join us next time to see if someone can win it. Meanwhile, goodbye from Richard...- Goodbye.
0:43:24 > 0:43:26..and it's goodbye from me, goodbye.
