0:00:21 > 0:00:23CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
0:00:25 > 0:00:29Hello. I'm Alexander Armstrong, and a warm welcome to Pointless,
0:00:29 > 0:00:34where popular answers mean nothing and obscure answers mean everything.
0:00:34 > 0:00:38- Let's meet today's players. - APPLAUSE
0:00:38 > 0:00:42Welcome, Jeremy and Joe. You're our first pair on the show.
0:00:42 > 0:00:48- How do you two know each other? - We met in 1998, when we worked in the same office.
0:00:48 > 0:00:55We actually met for the first time in a pub after work. We've been going to the pub ever since.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59- Joe, what do you do in your spare time?- My spare time?
0:00:59 > 0:01:02I like to drink beer, obviously. I do cryptic crosswords.
0:01:02 > 0:01:08- Who do you think's got the better general knowledge? - I THINK I have, I'm afraid.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12We play together in a quiz league, the Quiz League of London.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16- You're good! Quiz League of London? - Our team's called Fit For Purpose?
0:01:16 > 0:01:18With a question mark at the end.
0:01:18 > 0:01:22Touch of modesty, question mark. They were Fit For Purpose.
0:01:22 > 0:01:28- Then they thought, "Does that sound like we're a bit...?" Do you win everything?- No.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31We're fourth in the third division!
0:01:31 > 0:01:34And there are only three divisions. LAUGHTER
0:01:34 > 0:01:41- It's not that impressive.- It is our first year of playing as a team. - You'll work your way up.- Yes.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44Oh, you're terrifyingly good.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48Everyone else, shall we call this off and go down the pub?
0:01:48 > 0:01:53- We'll come as well.- Course you can. Just don't play quizzes.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57- Very best of luck. - Thank you very much.- Gill and Ged!
0:01:57 > 0:02:04- Welcome. How do you know each other? - We met 14 years ago through our husbands, who work together.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07We've forged quite a strong friendship ourselves.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11- Where are you from? - We're from sunny Scunthorpe.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Is it EVER sunny in Scunthorpe?
0:02:13 > 0:02:17- It's always sunny!- Whose idea was it to come on the show?
0:02:17 > 0:02:22- It was mine.- Ged, did you take a lot of persuading?- Not really. No.
0:02:22 > 0:02:27- What's Ged short for? - It's short for Geraldine.- Ah!
0:02:27 > 0:02:31Brilliant. Well, it's fabulous having you on the show. Welcome.
0:02:31 > 0:02:35Next, Chelle and Terry. How do you know each other?
0:02:35 > 0:02:39We met at school at the age of 11 and we've been together ever since.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42EVERYONE: Aaah!
0:02:42 > 0:02:46I always hate it when we all do that "Aah!" thing.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49It's deeply patronising. But in this case... Aaah!
0:02:49 > 0:02:54- What age did you start going out with each other?- 15.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58- Sorry to repeat myself but... Aah! - LAUGHTER
0:02:58 > 0:03:03- Do you think you'll survive Pointless together?- Of course!
0:03:03 > 0:03:07- Chelle was about to say, "Mm, ye-e-ah."- Yes!
0:03:07 > 0:03:13It's brilliant having the pair of you. Thanks very much for coming. We will expect great things.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17Finally, we welcome back Emily and Amy.
0:03:17 > 0:03:23Everyone gets two shots at the Pointless final. What would you like, Emily, to come up?
0:03:23 > 0:03:27What would be your dream focused category?
0:03:27 > 0:03:30Probably, films. Um...
0:03:30 > 0:03:34Specific geography, not so much the general.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41Basically, Sheffield and its environs. It's fine.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43Wherever I know.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47Amy, what about you? Nice specific category for you to triumph in?
0:03:47 > 0:03:52- Specific children's TV programmes would be nice.- Of the current era?
0:03:52 > 0:03:55Of any, old and new.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59- Really? Do you have children? - No. I AM a child.
0:04:00 > 0:04:05Who's your favourite character from children's telly?
0:04:05 > 0:04:07- Bagpuss.- Really?
0:04:07 > 0:04:11- Oh, sorry!- I'm not lying! - LAUGHTER
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Why would she lie about that?
0:04:13 > 0:04:17- She does have Basil Brush's autobiography!- That's true.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19- What's it called?- My Story.
0:04:19 > 0:04:24- LAUGHTER - Original title(!)- Basil Brush!
0:04:24 > 0:04:28Story of my life! We'll find out more about you later.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31There's one person left for me to introduce.
0:04:31 > 0:04:38He stands beneath the tree of obscurity, waiting patiently for the low-hanging fruit facts to fall.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42Then he makes them into some kind of pointless jam.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46- He is my Pointless friend, Richard. - Hello.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
0:04:51 > 0:04:55We've only got one returning pair, Emily and Amy.
0:04:55 > 0:05:00Last time, we had a round on poetry, one of those that we have sometimes,
0:05:00 > 0:05:04- of which we must never speak again. - LAUGHTER
0:05:04 > 0:05:07It went very, very badly.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09I mean, really badly.
0:05:09 > 0:05:15A round that, as soon as it was finished, had a tarpaulin draped over it.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18People were diverted around it.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22It's been buried encased in concrete 16 metres below the BBC.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25- Yeah.- But, good luck today!
0:05:25 > 0:05:28It should be a very, very good show.
0:05:28 > 0:05:34- We've got some good questions and four very good teams. - I can't wait for it to start!
0:05:34 > 0:05:37So let's start it.
0:05:37 > 0:05:42We put all our questions to 100 people, but we are after the obscure answers.
0:05:42 > 0:05:47Everyone's trying for a pointless answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51Each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55Nobody won the jackpot last time, so we add another £1,000.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59So today's jackpot starts off at...
0:05:59 > 0:06:01AUDIENCE: Ooooh!
0:06:04 > 0:06:07- Let's play Pointless. - APPLAUSE
0:06:11 > 0:06:16In the first round, you each give me one answer and you cannot confer.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20Whichever team has the highest score at the end will be eliminated.
0:06:20 > 0:06:26If anyone gives me an incorrect answer, they will score the maximum of 100 points.
0:06:26 > 0:06:31Our first category this afternoon is...
0:06:31 > 0:06:35Can you decide in your pairs who's going first, who's going second?
0:06:35 > 0:06:39And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:06:41 > 0:06:46We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:06:49 > 0:06:51..as they could. Richard.
0:06:51 > 0:06:57We're looking for any country of the world that is larger than France in terms of land area.
0:06:57 > 0:07:03By country, we mean a member of the UN that's a sovereign state as of the start of 2011.
0:07:03 > 0:07:09We're not including any of its overseas dependencies, just the country of France.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13Thank you very much, Richard. Now, Jeremy and Joe.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17You all drew lots before the show, and you get to go first.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Jeremy.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Ooh, this is just like...
0:07:22 > 0:07:25just a big plate of jam for you, isn't it?
0:07:25 > 0:07:29- I'm thinking... - Just throw yourself in and eat!
0:07:29 > 0:07:35I've got a globe spinning in my head. I'm going to go South America. Brazil.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39- Brazil?- Yes.- You're hoping to score as few points as possible.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43Let's see if Brazil is right and, if it is, how many people said it.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Well done, Jeremy.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52APPLAUSE
0:07:52 > 0:07:56A good solid start there, Jeremy. 43 for Brazil.
0:07:56 > 0:08:01Fifth largest country in the world, Brazil, in terms of land area.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03It's 15 times bigger than France.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07- 15 Frances in Brazil!- Yeah.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Imagine the strikes! Lovely food, though!
0:08:10 > 0:08:13- Oh, yes. - LAUGHTER
0:08:13 > 0:08:17- But the strikes!- Ugh! Imagine if there was a chef strike.
0:08:17 > 0:08:22Oh, no! I thought that would be a good point! It's even worse!
0:08:22 > 0:08:26- Ged.- I'm going to stick with South America
0:08:26 > 0:08:29- and go with Peru. - You're going with Peru.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31France. Peru.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34It's very hard! You don't know them in context!
0:08:34 > 0:08:41You're hoping to score as few points as possible with Peru. You're hoping Peru is correct.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Well done, Ged!
0:08:52 > 0:08:55CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
0:09:00 > 0:09:04More than twice the size of France, Peru. You wouldn't think it.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08I was going to say, "Ged would", but then I thought I can't.
0:09:08 > 0:09:13- That's not your surname, is it?- No. - That would be awful!- Imagine!
0:09:13 > 0:09:16Just imagine! Now, Terry. What do you do, Terry?
0:09:16 > 0:09:20- I'm a maintenance technician. - F...?- For a motor company.
0:09:20 > 0:09:25What is the most obscure country larger than France you can think of?
0:09:25 > 0:09:30Well, geography isn't my forte at all.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33I need a satellite navigation to get to bed!
0:09:35 > 0:09:40- I'll say Germany.- You're hoping to score as few points as possible.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44Let's see if it's right and, if it is, how many people said Germany.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49- AUDIENCE GROANS - Bad luck, Terry!
0:09:49 > 0:09:53Vorsprung durch Technik, Terry!
0:09:55 > 0:10:00I'm afraid that incorrect answer scores the maximum of 100 points.
0:10:00 > 0:10:06- Germany. - Smaller than France, I'm afraid. 200,000 square kilometres smaller.
0:10:06 > 0:10:11- Emily.- Yay!- We are looking for countries larger than France.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13I was quite confident,
0:10:13 > 0:10:18until I found out Germany wasn't bigger and now I'm not as confident.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22I think I'm going to have to play it safe in MY mind. It could be wrong.
0:10:22 > 0:10:27- Sudan.- OK, we'll take Sudan and see if it's correct.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31Let's see how many people said Sudan. Good luck, Emily.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34It's right.
0:10:39 > 0:10:40Wonderful answer!
0:10:40 > 0:10:44Lovely low score, Emily, for Sudan.
0:10:47 > 0:10:52Very well played, Emily. At the start of 2011, it's the largest country in Africa.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56Halfway through the round, let's look at the scores.
0:10:56 > 0:10:57On one point,
0:10:57 > 0:11:03Ged and Gill, amazing. Lovely, lovely low score that, Ged.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05Emily on six, wonderful.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Jeremy and Joe. I know wht they're doing.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Hustling.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13Hustling! 43!
0:11:15 > 0:11:18And Terry, bad luck.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21An incorrect answer there with Germany.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Stands to reason, you'd think, but no.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27So, Chelle, you have a job on your hands.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Try and find a nice pointless answer
0:11:30 > 0:11:33and hope someone else scores high.
0:11:33 > 0:11:38Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:11:38 > 0:11:45Remember, we are looking for countries larger than France in terms of area. Amy.
0:11:45 > 0:11:50- Emily, didn't she do well? - Very well.- A fabulous score there!
0:11:50 > 0:11:54The high-scorers are Chelle and Terry. If you score 93 or less,
0:11:54 > 0:11:58you're through to the next round.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02I don't know whether to gamble or play it safe a bit.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04I'm going to go for Kazakhstan.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Is that one of those guesses?
0:12:07 > 0:12:11Or is it actually because you know Kazakhstan on a map?
0:12:11 > 0:12:14It looks quite big on a map.
0:12:14 > 0:12:19Sounds like a great answer. There's your red line! Fantastically high.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23If Kazakhstan gets you below that, you're through to the next round.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27Let's see if it's right and how many people said Kazakhstan.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Well done! You're through.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Very well done, Amy!
0:12:37 > 0:12:41Scores you four. Takes you just into double figures.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44- Lovely score of ten. - Very good answer, Amy.
0:12:44 > 0:12:49- Kazakhstan's five times bigger than France.- Splendid.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53Now, Chelle. You know what you have to do.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57- We're looking for countries larger than France.- I'll try!
0:12:57 > 0:13:02Lovely low-scoring obscure country larger than France.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05Um... I'll go with...
0:13:05 > 0:13:08- Zimbabwe. - There's no red line for you.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12- Because you are the high-scorers. - Yeah.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16By a margin. Hope that this is a lovely low score.
0:13:16 > 0:13:22You have to hope that Gill and/or Joe make a mistake, basically.
0:13:22 > 0:13:26Let's see if Zimbabwe is right and how many people said Zimbabwe.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34Bad luck, Chelle! That is an incorrect answer.
0:13:34 > 0:13:39You score the maximum of 100 points and it takes your score
0:13:39 > 0:13:41to an unbeatable 200!
0:13:41 > 0:13:45- Richard.- Sorry, Chelle. Not bad answers, Germany and Zimbabwe.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49- Both of them smaller than France. - Very surprising! Zimbabwe.
0:13:49 > 0:13:54- You think of African countries on a much larger scale.- Yeah.
0:13:54 > 0:13:59- Bad luck, Chelle.- Yeah.- Wrong for all the right reasons. But wrong.
0:13:59 > 0:14:04Gill, you are through to the next round, whatever happens.
0:14:04 > 0:14:10You'll never overtake Chelle and Terry. We are looking for countries larger than France.
0:14:10 > 0:14:15Given the situation, I'll go for something to try for a pointless answer.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17I'm going to try Mali.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21- Mali.- Yeah.- Let's see if Mali is a correct answer.
0:14:21 > 0:14:26And if it is, let's see how many people said it. Mali.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29There we are. It's right.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39- CHEERS AND APPLAUSE - Superb, Gill!
0:14:41 > 0:14:45Thoroughly deserved a fanfare. That's a pointless answer.
0:14:45 > 0:14:50It adds £250 to today's jackpot, taking us up to a lovely round £5,000.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53And it scores you nothing!
0:14:56 > 0:15:01What an introduction to the show! One point between the two of you.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03Joe, we've had a pointless answer.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07- What are you going to do about it? - LAUGHTER
0:15:08 > 0:15:12I'm afraid I might have to pretend to "play safe",
0:15:12 > 0:15:16cos I can't think of any that might be pointless.
0:15:16 > 0:15:23Listen, you can make the most fantastic mistake and be comfortably through to the next round.
0:15:23 > 0:15:28You have that safety net, why not go out on a bit of a Joe limb,
0:15:28 > 0:15:31and find a pointless answer?
0:15:31 > 0:15:34- In that case, Hungary.- Hungary.
0:15:34 > 0:15:39- There you are. - Let's see if Hungary is right and, if it is, how many people said it.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44Well, stab in the dark.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48Scores you 100 points.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51- You're through to the next round. - Yeah, unlucky.
0:15:51 > 0:15:56For the pointless answers, the main places are Africa and South America.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00I'm sure people will be thinking of some at home...
0:16:08 > 0:16:12- ..Madagascar larger than France! - It's huge, Madagascar...
0:16:15 > 0:16:19..Venezuela, Zambia, Ethiopia, Namibia, Mozambique.
0:16:19 > 0:16:23All bigger than France and Pointless.
0:16:23 > 0:16:27Let's take a look at the answers that most of our 100 gave...
0:16:34 > 0:16:40..Peru is actually bigger than France, Germany and the UK put together!
0:16:40 > 0:16:44Well done, Peru, if you're watching! Thanks, Richard.
0:16:44 > 0:16:50At the end of round one, the losing pair with the highest score, is Chelle and Terry.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54- It was a tough category! Geography not your strong suit!- No.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57Such a shame, but we will see you next time.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00Thanks very much, meanwhile, for playing.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02APPLAUSE
0:17:02 > 0:17:07For the remaining three pairs, it's time for Round Two.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14Only two pairs will make it through to the head-to-head.
0:17:14 > 0:17:18One of the three teams will leave us at the end of this round.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20Our category for Round Two is...
0:17:23 > 0:17:30Can you decide in your pairs who's going first, who's going second?
0:17:30 > 0:17:34Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:34 > 0:17:40Very good, our second round question concerns...
0:17:44 > 0:17:47..We're about to show you a list of sports films.
0:17:47 > 0:17:52We asked 100 people to tell us which sport is featured in them.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56- Richard.- Yeah, we're going to show you six films on each pass.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59Tell us which sport is associated with it.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01The more obscure the answer, the fewer points.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04An incorrect answer will score 100 points.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Thank you very much, Richard.
0:18:06 > 0:18:10We're looking for the sport connected to these films.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13Here we go...
0:18:22 > 0:18:25..I'll read those again.
0:18:30 > 0:18:36..As always, you are looking for the answer that the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:18:36 > 0:18:41Now then, Jeremy. How good are you on films in general
0:18:41 > 0:18:43and sports films in particular?
0:18:43 > 0:18:46Some of those I'm sure. Some are 50-50.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50I'm weighing up whether to go for one I'm sure of or to take a risk.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53I'll play it safe. Million Dollar Baby, boxing.
0:18:53 > 0:18:57Million Dollar Baby and boxing is what you say.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01Let's see if that's correct and, if it is, how many people knew it.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03It's right.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09APPLAUSE
0:19:09 > 0:19:11That's a solid start. 50 for Million Dollar Baby.
0:19:11 > 0:19:16Yeah, from 2004. Clint Eastwood won the Best Director Oscar for it,
0:19:16 > 0:19:19the oldest man to win a Best Director Oscar, at 74.
0:19:19 > 0:19:212004?
0:19:21 > 0:19:24- Mm.- Wow. Feels like yesterday.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26- Did you watch it on DVD? - LAUGHTER
0:19:26 > 0:19:30- I watched it yesterday. - LAUGHTER
0:19:30 > 0:19:35Gill, I have a feeling you have seen a few of these films.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38- And you're going to be rather good. - You're so wrong.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41I haven't seen any of them.
0:19:41 > 0:19:45I'm going to have to make a bit of a wild stab here.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48I'm going to go Space Jam.
0:19:48 > 0:19:54- And say Basketball.- Let's see if that's right and how many people knew Space Jam, basketball.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Very well done, Gill!
0:20:03 > 0:20:07- APPLAUSE - That's a great answer.
0:20:07 > 0:20:08Richard.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12Space Jam is part animation, part live action.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14All bad!
0:20:14 > 0:20:18Michael Jordan stars alongside Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck.
0:20:18 > 0:20:22- Now then, Emily.- OK. I've never heard of the first one.
0:20:22 > 0:20:28The Sandlot. And I'm not sure about the Balls Of Fury and Kingpin.
0:20:28 > 0:20:33I can make a guess, but I have to play it safe and go Mighty Ducks.
0:20:33 > 0:20:38It's one of my favourite films and it's ice hockey.
0:20:38 > 0:20:43Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people knew The Mighty Ducks, ice hockey.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Well done.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53Very well done. You've done it.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57Well done, Emily. 38 for The Mighty Ducks, ice hockey.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00Well played, Emily. It's a wonderful film.
0:21:00 > 0:21:04Emilio Estevez plays a lawyer who coaches an ice hockey team.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Let's look at the rest of the answers. Kingpin.
0:21:07 > 0:21:12The Farrelly brothers' movie about ten-pin bowling.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15Balls Of Fury, do you know what that's about?
0:21:15 > 0:21:20- I'm hoping it's about tennis, table tennis.- Yes, table tennis.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22With Christopher Walken.
0:21:22 > 0:21:27The best answer on the board is also known as The Sandlot Kids.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29It's about baseball.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33Well done if you got that at home.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36OK, let's take a look at the scores.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39Very close grouping at the bottom end.
0:21:39 > 0:21:4138, Emily and Amy.
0:21:41 > 0:21:45Gill and Ged, 39, equally good.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49Jeremy and Joe, it was safe. It was expensive.
0:21:49 > 0:21:54The pressure is on you, Joe. How well do you know your sports films?
0:21:54 > 0:21:57Before you showed me the categories, reasonable.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59- Splendid. - When you show them, rubbish.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01LAUGHTER
0:22:01 > 0:22:05Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:22:07 > 0:22:12We're going to put six more films on the board. Here they are...
0:22:20 > 0:22:23..I'll read those one more time...
0:22:29 > 0:22:33We are looking for the sport connected with these films.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37You're trying to find the one the fewest people knew.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40Amy, how good are you on sports films?
0:22:40 > 0:22:44Um... I quite like bad films.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47And one of them I know is bad.
0:22:47 > 0:22:52I'm going to go for Seabiscuit, which is about horse racing.
0:22:52 > 0:22:56Horse racing. You are the low-scorers.
0:22:56 > 0:23:00The high-scorers are Joe and Jeremy. You want to score 11 or less.
0:23:00 > 0:23:07Let's see if that is right, Seabiscuit, horse racing and, if it is, how many people said it.
0:23:07 > 0:23:12There is your red line. Below that, you are through to the head-to-head.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15Very well done.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22APPLAUSE
0:23:22 > 0:23:2462 that scores you.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26Takes your total up to 100.
0:23:26 > 0:23:32Big score, surprisingly big. It's about a Depression-era race horse.
0:23:32 > 0:23:40I watched Seabiscuit on an aeroplane and, like all sorts of bad films I've seen on aeroplanes,
0:23:40 > 0:23:43I was wiping tears off my chin!
0:23:43 > 0:23:46Amy doesn't like it. Yeah, I know.
0:23:46 > 0:23:51- Got me!- You were quite heavily drunk, though.
0:23:53 > 0:23:58Very good, Amy. 100 points. You are the high-scorers now. Ged and Gill.
0:23:58 > 0:24:03If you can score 60 or less, you are through to the next round.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Ged, you're shaking your head.
0:24:05 > 0:24:10- "I'm not going to score very well." - Not my subject at all!
0:24:10 > 0:24:15I've heard of Cool Runnings and I think my son's watched it.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19It's probably totally wrong. American football.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22You're saying Cool Runnings, American football.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25There's your red line.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29Go below that, you are in the head-to-head.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31Cool Runnings, American football.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36AUDIENCE GROANS
0:24:36 > 0:24:41I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer and scores you the maximum,
0:24:41 > 0:24:43taking your total to 139.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46Unlucky, Ged. Not American football.
0:24:46 > 0:24:50- I won't say what it is in case Joe wants to have a go at that.- OK.
0:24:50 > 0:24:54Joe and Jeremy. You are on 50.
0:24:54 > 0:24:58The high-scorers are Ged and Gill. 88 or less.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02That's your goal, Joe. 88 or less. What are you thinking?
0:25:02 > 0:25:08I positively know Looking For Eric, Invictus and Cool Runnings.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11Tell us what they are, then you can pick.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14Looking For Eric is association football.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17Invictus is rugby union.
0:25:17 > 0:25:21Cool Runnings is bobsleigh, four-man bobsleigh.
0:25:23 > 0:25:28The one I'd like to pick, probably, is Invictus for rugby union.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32- Invictus, rugby union. Did you see it?- No.
0:25:32 > 0:25:37A surprisingly good film. Didn't even see it in a plane, as well.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40- LAUGHTER - There's your red line.
0:25:40 > 0:25:44If you come below that, you're through to the head-to-head.
0:25:44 > 0:25:49Let's see if Invictus is about rugby union and, if it is, how many people said it.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52Very well done.
0:25:57 > 0:26:0126 that scores you, taking your total up to 76.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03Invictus, Richard.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05Based around the 1995 Rugby World Cup.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08Morgan Freeman as Nelson Mandela
0:26:08 > 0:26:13and Matt Damon as Francois Pienaar, the South African captain.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16- What about the others? - Let's take a look.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20Of the ones you knew, it was the lowest scorer as well.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23Cool Runnings is a big scorer...
0:26:25 > 0:26:27..It is, indeed, bobsleigh.
0:26:27 > 0:26:31Looking For Eric stars Eric Cantona.
0:26:31 > 0:26:37Remember The Titans, I saw on a plane with Denzel Washington.
0:26:37 > 0:26:41We were flying somewhere together. He's also in the film...
0:26:43 > 0:26:46..Vision Quest is the best answer. Do you know that?
0:26:46 > 0:26:51- I have no idea.- I have never heard of it. It is a wrestling film.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55With Matthew Modine. Very well done if you got that one.
0:26:55 > 0:27:00So, at the end of Round Two, the losing pair with the highest score,
0:27:00 > 0:27:05- Ged and Gill!- Never mind. - Never mind. Never mind.
0:27:05 > 0:27:10We shall see you next time. We're looking forward to that a lot.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13Till then, thank you very much for playing.
0:27:13 > 0:27:19For the remaining pairs, things are going to get even more exciting as we enter the head-to-head.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28Very well done, Emily and Amy, Jeremy and Joe.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32Obviously, only one pair can make it to the final
0:27:32 > 0:27:36and play for the jackpot, which currently stands at...
0:27:41 > 0:27:45You're going to go head-to-head on the best of three questions.
0:27:45 > 0:27:51For each question, each pair needs to give me just one answer, and you are now allowed to confer.
0:27:51 > 0:27:55Find an answer that scores less than the others to win that question.
0:27:55 > 0:28:00The first to the best of three plays for the jackpot. Let's play Pointless.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07Here is your first question.
0:28:07 > 0:28:11We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:28:14 > 0:28:16..as they could. Members of Girls Aloud.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19Any of the five founding members of Girls Aloud.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23They were formed on Popstars The Rivals, the TV show.
0:28:23 > 0:28:28Any of the five members of Girls Aloud - first name and surname, please.
0:28:28 > 0:28:33Emily and Amy, because you played best so far, you go first.
0:28:33 > 0:28:37We are looking for the five members of Girls Aloud.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39The most obscure one, please.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42Do you know any of their surnames?
0:28:42 > 0:28:45CONTESTANTS WHISPER
0:28:48 > 0:28:51- OK, we have an answer.- Yeah.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54- We're going to go for Sarah Harding. - Sarah Harding.
0:28:54 > 0:28:59- Jeremy and Joe, you can talk out loud now!- I haven't got a clue.
0:28:59 > 0:29:04- The modern popular beat combo! - I wonder if Ashley Cole's wife was one.
0:29:04 > 0:29:08- Cheryl Cole. Possibly. Unless you've got a better one.- No!
0:29:08 > 0:29:13- What are you going to say, Jeremy? - Cheryl Cole.- Cheryl Cole?- Yeah.
0:29:13 > 0:29:17OK, we have Emily and Amy saying Sarah Harding.
0:29:17 > 0:29:21We have Jeremy and Joe saying Cheryl Cole.
0:29:21 > 0:29:25Sarah Harding. Let's see if that's right and how many people said it.
0:29:33 > 0:29:38It sounded like you had a little moment of doubt, there.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41In case it was Harding with an S on the end.
0:29:41 > 0:29:45- Hardings. - It was a panic.- Plural panic.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48- THEY GIGGLE - That's fine. That's fine.
0:29:48 > 0:29:54It's all fine. Jeremy and Joe have gone for Cheryl Cole. Let's see if that's right.
0:29:54 > 0:29:58And, if it is, how many people said Cheryl Cole.
0:29:58 > 0:30:0240 is what you want to be going lower than.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08APPLAUSE
0:30:09 > 0:30:12It was right, but it was too right.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14Too obvious.
0:30:14 > 0:30:18Emily and Amy are soaring into the lead, one-nil.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21- Richard. - Those are the most popular answers.
0:30:21 > 0:30:26Let's look at three answers that would have beaten Sarah Harding...
0:30:35 > 0:30:40Here is your second question. Jeremy and Joe, you have to win this to stay in the game.
0:30:40 > 0:30:45Emily and Amy, should you win this, you are through to the final.
0:30:45 > 0:30:49We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:30:50 > 0:30:54..as they could. Guacamole ingredients, Richard.
0:30:54 > 0:31:00Any of the seven ingredients included in Delia Smith's guacamole in her Complete Cookery Course.
0:31:00 > 0:31:06I'm not accepting salt and pepper, but any of the seven ingredients in guacamole.
0:31:06 > 0:31:11Seven ingredients in Delia Smith's guacamole. Jeremy and Joe.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13You get to go first this time.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15THEY WHISPER
0:31:18 > 0:31:24We'll discount the seven obvious ones and say mayonnaise.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27Mayonnaise, say Jeremy and Joe.
0:31:27 > 0:31:33Emily and Amy, take us through the recipe for Guacamole. Mayonnaise is off the table.
0:31:33 > 0:31:40- Right, Delia Smith's version? - Be glad it's not Heston Blumenthal's version.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42LAUGHTER
0:31:42 > 0:31:46- You're the chef.- Don't say that.
0:31:46 > 0:31:50Obviously, avocado's an obvious answer, which I won't say.
0:31:50 > 0:31:56- I'm sure there's lemon... I'm going to say tomato.- Tomato. - All right? Yeah.
0:31:56 > 0:32:00- Mayonnaise, from Jeremy and Joe. Tomato...- Sorry.- Don't be sorry.
0:32:00 > 0:32:04What could be wrong with tomato? Sounds delicious.
0:32:04 > 0:32:06No!
0:32:06 > 0:32:08I said it sounds delicious!
0:32:08 > 0:32:12- LAUGHTER - Remember, I know nothing!
0:32:12 > 0:32:14Jeremy and Joe have gone for mayonnaise.
0:32:14 > 0:32:19You have to win this question. You suddenly said you had an idea!
0:32:19 > 0:32:25I had an idea that they probably don't have mayonnaise in Mexico or wherever guacamole comes from.
0:32:25 > 0:32:30So it's probably something else, but you never know.
0:32:30 > 0:32:36Let's just find out. Mayonnaise, is it in guacamole and, if it is, how many people said it?
0:32:39 > 0:32:42No mayonnaise in guacamole!
0:32:44 > 0:32:50- Emily, Amy, you have said tomato. - Yeah. I'm 99% sure that's wrong.
0:32:50 > 0:32:54Jeremy and Joe were wrong. You're in good company.
0:32:54 > 0:32:58Let's see if tomato is in guacamole and, if it is,
0:32:58 > 0:33:02you are through to the final and playing for that jackpot of £5,000.
0:33:02 > 0:33:07Tomato. Is it in guacamole and, if it is, how many people said it?
0:33:08 > 0:33:11It's right! That's all that matters!
0:33:17 > 0:33:18CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
0:33:20 > 0:33:23It's emphatically right.
0:33:23 > 0:33:26After just two questions, Emily and Amy
0:33:26 > 0:33:30- are through to the final. Richard.- Very, very well played.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33There's an apocryphal story about Peter Mandelson
0:33:33 > 0:33:39in a northern chip shop looking at the mushy peas and saying, "I'll have some guacamole."
0:33:39 > 0:33:41Wooing Hartlepool voters(!)
0:33:41 > 0:33:45Let's look at all seven ingredients in Delia's guacamole.
0:33:45 > 0:33:49There is one pointless answer...
0:33:58 > 0:34:04Thank you very much. So the losing pair at the end of the head-to-head is Jeremy and Joe.
0:34:04 > 0:34:09Dear oh, dear. Great at quizzes. Rubbish at making guacamole.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11- LAUGHTER - Well, that's Pointless.
0:34:11 > 0:34:14We go from Girls Aloud to guacamole.
0:34:14 > 0:34:19The next question might have been football or exciting exotic beers.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22We might have scored something with them.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25You will be back next time,
0:34:25 > 0:34:31when I'm absolutely confident that exotic beers and all your specialist subjects will come up.
0:34:31 > 0:34:35- Thank you very much for playing. - APPLAUSE
0:34:37 > 0:34:42For Emily and Amy, it's our Pointless final and the chance to win our jackpot of £5,000!
0:34:48 > 0:34:53Congratulations, Emily and Amy. You fought off all the competition.
0:34:53 > 0:34:56And you have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:34:56 > 0:34:58I forgot about that!
0:35:04 > 0:35:08That's the best reaction I've ever had.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10- We forgot.- I didn't even...
0:35:10 > 0:35:14You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:14 > 0:35:19At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £5,000!
0:35:19 > 0:35:21APPLAUSE
0:35:21 > 0:35:28To win that money, just find a pointless answer that none of our 100 people could think of.
0:35:28 > 0:35:33We've had a pointless answer today. You only have to find one more.
0:35:33 > 0:35:37First, choose a category from these three options.
0:35:44 > 0:35:48- I know a tiny bit about football. - We know nothing about opera.
0:35:48 > 0:35:54Unless the American author is Danielle Steel, which I read in my youth...
0:35:54 > 0:35:57Do we have to go for football?
0:35:57 > 0:36:02LAUGHS I can't believe this is real life!
0:36:03 > 0:36:07We've got our trophy. We're going to go for football.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10You've got the trophy. Let's find out what the question is.
0:36:10 > 0:36:14Is there any area of football you'd love it to be, any little area?
0:36:14 > 0:36:19- England football?- Is there a club you follow vaguely?
0:36:19 > 0:36:23Unless it's England managers, then no, that's it.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25Fingers crossed.
0:36:25 > 0:36:30We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:36:32 > 0:36:34..as they could.
0:36:34 > 0:36:37World Cup Final scorers. Richard.
0:36:37 > 0:36:42Any player scoring in a final deciding game in a football World Cup,
0:36:42 > 0:36:46up to and including the 2010 tournament.
0:36:46 > 0:36:51We will accept just surnames or the names by which they are best known.
0:36:51 > 0:36:57We won't accept anyone who scored in a penalty shoot-out. Anyone who scored in a World Cup Final.
0:36:57 > 0:37:02OK, you now have up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:02 > 0:37:06All you need to win that £5,000 is for one of them to be pointless.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08Your 60 seconds start now.
0:37:08 > 0:37:11We know the biggest World Cup scorers.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14- Steve...Bloom...? - These are all English.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17How many times have they been in the final?
0:37:17 > 0:37:23- Is it English scorers?- It can be anyone.- Steve Bloom's not English. - Isn't he?- No.
0:37:23 > 0:37:27- Philippe er...- No. That's...rugby!
0:37:27 > 0:37:30Is that rugby? LAUGHTER
0:37:33 > 0:37:36Gary Lineker, might be quite obvious.
0:37:36 > 0:37:42- Um...- Can't think of anyone. - Steve Bloom, then.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45- Speak up. - David Platt? He's a footballer!
0:37:45 > 0:37:48Yeah, let's go with David Platt.
0:37:48 > 0:37:53- There's Ronaldo. That's obvious. - I'm sure...- Maradona.
0:37:53 > 0:37:55So we've got Gary Lineker.
0:37:55 > 0:38:00Michael Owen. That's England again. That's all we know, isn't it?
0:38:00 > 0:38:02Five seconds.
0:38:04 > 0:38:10OK, your time is up. All I need from you now are your three answers.
0:38:10 > 0:38:14- We were looking for World Cup Final scorers.- Yeah!
0:38:14 > 0:38:18- What are you going to give me? - David Platt?- Yeah. David Platt.
0:38:18 > 0:38:23- David Platt.- We're just going to have to go with the obvious ones.
0:38:23 > 0:38:27- Gary Lineker.- Gary Lineker. - Gary Lineker?- Maradona?
0:38:27 > 0:38:30- And Maradona.- Yeah. Why not?
0:38:30 > 0:38:34David Platt, Gary Lineker and Maradona.
0:38:34 > 0:38:38- I have to say, it's very patriotic, your...- Are they all English?
0:38:38 > 0:38:41- Not all of them. - LAUGHTER
0:38:41 > 0:38:45Amy's submission isn't. Nice to mix it up a bit!
0:38:45 > 0:38:50Which of those do you think is your best chance of a pointless answer?
0:38:50 > 0:38:52None of them!
0:38:52 > 0:38:56I'd say either David Platt or...that other one we said!
0:38:56 > 0:39:02- Mara...? What did we say?- Maradona. - Shall we put Maradona last?
0:39:02 > 0:39:06- Gary Lineker first?- Yeah. - David Platt second.
0:39:06 > 0:39:10- Maradona last.- Cos we know Gary Lineker's definitely a footballer.
0:39:10 > 0:39:13LAUGHTER
0:39:16 > 0:39:20We're going to put those up on the board in that order. Here they are.
0:39:25 > 0:39:29See? Look good on the board, don't they?
0:39:29 > 0:39:34This was your least confident answer. You need one pointless answer to win £5,000.
0:39:34 > 0:39:42Let's see if Gary Lineker is a right answer and, if it is, let's see how many people said Gary Lineker.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49Oh!
0:39:49 > 0:39:52- That's all right.- Bad luck. That's an incorrect answer.- OK.
0:39:52 > 0:39:58You still have two answers, two more chances to win a jackpot of £5,000.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01What would you do with £5,000?
0:40:01 > 0:40:05- We've been saying all along that we'd get a haircut.- Yeah.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08- LAUGHTER - Yeah, very good.
0:40:11 > 0:40:15That's the best answer I've ever been given.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17We are looking for World Cup Final goal scorers.
0:40:17 > 0:40:22Gary Lineker you said. Incorrect answer.
0:40:22 > 0:40:27Sadly. Let's hope your next answer, David Platt, is a correct answer,
0:40:27 > 0:40:30and it goes all the way down to zero.
0:40:30 > 0:40:35For £5,000, let's see if David Platt is right, and how many people said David Platt.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42Bad luck!
0:40:42 > 0:40:45We are looking for World Cup Final goal scorers.
0:40:45 > 0:40:49You said this was the answer you had the most faith in.
0:40:49 > 0:40:53- Didn't you, Emily?- Yes, we did. Very, very hope... Yeah.
0:40:53 > 0:40:57- You're very confident(!) - Very confident.- In Maradona.
0:40:57 > 0:41:01Where did Maradona suddenly come from? He just swam into view.
0:41:01 > 0:41:05Is he a swimmer? LAUGHTER
0:41:07 > 0:41:09Let's find out, shall we?
0:41:13 > 0:41:15This has to be pointless.
0:41:15 > 0:41:22- It has to be correct.- Yes. - If it's correct, it has to go all the way down to zero.
0:41:22 > 0:41:28OK, let's find out how many people said Maradona, and is it correct?
0:41:39 > 0:41:41Bad luck!
0:41:41 > 0:41:47Unfortunately, you didn't find that pointless answer and you don't win today's jackpot of £5,000,
0:41:47 > 0:41:50but you have been amazing contestants.
0:41:50 > 0:41:55- You do, of course, get to take home our Pointless trophy.- Yay!
0:41:57 > 0:42:01- Richard.- Unlucky, Amy and Emily, a tough category.
0:42:01 > 0:42:05Maradona played in the final twice, in '86 and '90, but didn't score.
0:42:05 > 0:42:09Only two Englishmen have scored, Geoff Hurst and Martin Peters,
0:42:09 > 0:42:14and with Ronaldo they were the top three answers on this board.
0:42:14 > 0:42:19You're going to kick yourselves when you see some of these names(!)
0:42:19 > 0:42:23Yeah. Agne Simonsson of Sweden.
0:42:23 > 0:42:27There's Carlos Alberto of Brazil. Ferenc Puskas of Hungary.
0:42:27 > 0:42:31A lot of people would have got some of these at home.
0:42:31 > 0:42:35Jairzinho, also of Brazil. Kark-Heinz Rummenigge of Germany.
0:42:37 > 0:42:41Marco Tardelli, the Italian. Mario Kempes, the Argentinian.
0:42:41 > 0:42:45Paolo Rossi of Italy. Very well done if you got any of those.
0:42:45 > 0:42:48Thanks, Richard. Did you know ANY of those names?
0:42:48 > 0:42:53No! I'd heard of Rossi before. It's our friend's name, so...
0:42:53 > 0:42:57- That's not why I've heard of it. - Oh, I see. Right. Yeah.
0:42:57 > 0:43:01Unfortunately, we do have to say goodbye, Emily and Amy.
0:43:01 > 0:43:06It's been brilliant having you on the show. Thank you for playing.
0:43:08 > 0:43:15Nobody won our jackpot, so it rolls over, which means on the next show we will be playing for £6,000.
0:43:15 > 0:43:18AUDIENCE: Oooh!
0:43:18 > 0:43:22- Join us next time. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:22 > 0:43:25- And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye. - APPLAUSE
