0:00:20 > 0:00:22CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
0:00:22 > 0:00:26Hello. I'm Alexander Armstrong, and a warm welcome to the quiz show
0:00:26 > 0:00:30where popular answers mean nothing and obscure answers mean everything.
0:00:30 > 0:00:36- Let's meet today's players. - APPLAUSE
0:00:36 > 0:00:40First, we welcome Jen and Morgan. How do you know each other?
0:00:40 > 0:00:46We met at university ten years ago. We worked in the student bar and have been friends since.
0:00:46 > 0:00:51- Morgan, what do you do? - I'm an environmental crime officer for the Environment Agency.
0:00:51 > 0:00:56- Oh! That's exciting! - Yes. It's good fun.- CSI every day!
0:00:56 > 0:00:58- Kind of!- How about you, Jen?
0:00:58 > 0:01:04I work at the Environment Agency, but communications work. Not as exciting as Morgan, unfortunately.
0:01:04 > 0:01:09Welcome back Stephen and Samantha. Remind us how you did last time.
0:01:09 > 0:01:14We got to the second round but went down in flames - 200 points!
0:01:14 > 0:01:16200 points!
0:01:16 > 0:01:20- What are your hobbies, Samantha? - I enjoy playing badminton.
0:01:20 > 0:01:25I play it with Stephen. However, I'm yet to win a game.
0:01:25 > 0:01:30- He has the height advantage.- Yes. - At least it's not volleyball.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34- Yes! That's true!- Very best of luck to the pair of you.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38Now, Will and Matt, how do you two know each other?
0:01:38 > 0:01:40We're just mates, basically.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44We met on the first day of secondary school, 11 years ago.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47Since then, been travelling around the world.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50We live in a horrible flat in Bristol now.
0:01:50 > 0:01:55- What's horrible about it? - We got it unfurnished and we didn't have any money.
0:01:55 > 0:02:00- We had to get odds and ends. It's a very mixed look.- Eclectic.- Yes.
0:02:00 > 0:02:06- Were you to win our jackpot today, maybe a couple of beds? - I could do with a bed.
0:02:06 > 0:02:12- I've just got two mattresses on top of each other.- You DO need a bed!
0:02:12 > 0:02:16The box you use as a bedside table would be too small if you had a bed.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Definitely need to win now!
0:02:20 > 0:02:25Very best of luck. Finally, welcome Pete and John. How do you know each other?
0:02:25 > 0:02:32My daughter was also in a bijou flat in Bristol! Not with these guys, living on her own.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36And every time we phoned, this bloke would answer the phone.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40After a couple of years, they were married
0:02:40 > 0:02:43- and he's now my son-in-law.- Ah!
0:02:43 > 0:02:47- What do you do, Pete?- I work at the Intellectual Property Office.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51I'm a patent examiner. I mostly deal with chemical technologies.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54I've done some well-boring as well.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58- There's nothing boring about that! - LAUGHTER
0:02:58 > 0:03:01- John, how about you? What do you do? - I'm a retired GP.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04When I had a mid-life crisis,
0:03:04 > 0:03:08I joined the Civil Service as a medical advisor.
0:03:08 > 0:03:12Now I am a volunteer with Citizens Advice.
0:03:12 > 0:03:17Very, very worthy career. We will find out more about you all later.
0:03:17 > 0:03:23One more person for me to introduce, an oasis in the desert of obscure knowledge, my pointless friend,
0:03:23 > 0:03:26- Richard.- Hiya.
0:03:29 > 0:03:35- Good afternoon to you.- A VERY good afternoon, sir.- Are you well?
0:03:35 > 0:03:40- I AM well, thank you.- It should be a good show. Only one returning pair.
0:03:40 > 0:03:46Stephen and Samantha only made it to the second round so very untried. Could be anyone's game.
0:03:46 > 0:03:53Very rarely on this show someone has a job then a question comes up about that job, but it's happened today.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57We have a number of well boring questions on today's show!
0:03:57 > 0:04:02Very good. Thank you, Richard. We put our questions to 100 people.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06This is Pointless, so we're after the obscure answers they didn't get.
0:04:06 > 0:04:11Everyone's trying to find a pointless answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Each time, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Nobody won the jackpot last time, so we add another £1,000.
0:04:17 > 0:04:22Today's jackpot starts off at £7,500!
0:04:22 > 0:04:24AUDIENCE: Ooooh!
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Right, let's play Pointless.
0:04:34 > 0:04:39In the first round, each of you gives one answer. You cannot confer.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43Whichever team has the highest score at the end will be eliminated.
0:04:43 > 0:04:48If anyone gives me an incorrect answer, they score the maximum of 100 points.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52Our first category this afternoon is...
0:04:53 > 0:04:58Words. Can you all decide in your pairs who's going first and who's going second?
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Let's find out what the question is.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:05:13 > 0:05:16..as they could. Richard.
0:05:16 > 0:05:23We're looking for any word that ends "..ond" in the Oxford English Dictionary, up to the start of 2011.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27- Hyphenated words and proper nouns don't count.- Thank you very much.
0:05:27 > 0:05:32Now, Jen and Morgan, you drew lots before the show
0:05:32 > 0:05:34and you get to go first.
0:05:34 > 0:05:40Morgan, slightly on the spot, aren't you, being first off the mark?
0:05:40 > 0:05:45VERY on the spot. This would be my worst nightmare of a category.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47R-right.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51I think I'm going to try for one that is a bit risky.
0:05:51 > 0:05:57- And I'm going to go for "unibond"? - Unibond? What is a unibond?
0:05:57 > 0:06:02- Do you think?- I'm not sure, now you've said it back to me.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06Let's see if "unibond" is correct and, if it is, how many people said "unibond".
0:06:11 > 0:06:15Bad luck, Morgan. I'm afraid "unibond" is an incorrect answer.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17You score the maximum of 100 points.
0:06:17 > 0:06:22- Richard.- Sorry, Morgan. Good word. - GREAT word! Should have been there.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Not an actual word, but it is a good word.
0:06:24 > 0:06:29Stephen, we come to you. We are looking for words ending in "..ond".
0:06:29 > 0:06:34I'm going with the first word that came into my head, "abscond".
0:06:34 > 0:06:39"Abscond". Very good. You're hoping to score as few points as possible.
0:06:39 > 0:06:44Let's see if that's correct and, if it is, how many people said "abscond".
0:06:56 > 0:07:0012 for "abscond", Richard.
0:07:00 > 0:07:05Well done, Stephen. "To flee", "to abscond".
0:07:05 > 0:07:11- That didn't come into your head because you hated the round?- I was a bit nervous.- Glad you stayed.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15- Matt.- Yes. - What are you going to say, Matt?
0:07:15 > 0:07:19I would love to be able to go for a risky word but I can't think of any.
0:07:19 > 0:07:25Of the 55, I've got about three. I'm going to say "almond".
0:07:25 > 0:07:30You're hoping to score as few points as possible with "almond".
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Let's see if it's right...
0:07:32 > 0:07:36We KNOW it's right! Let's see how many people said "almond".
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Another 12!
0:07:48 > 0:07:50"Almond", Richard.
0:07:50 > 0:07:55This is the bit where they expect me to tell you what an almond is.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58I am depending on it.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01- You know almonds?- Yeah. - It's one of them.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04- Like the nuts? - Yeah. A bit like the nuts.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08Oh, yeah! Very well done, Matt. 12 points. So, then, John.
0:08:08 > 0:08:13What is the most obscure word ending in "..ond" that you can think of?
0:08:13 > 0:08:18Well, I was really hoping nobody would think of "abscond".
0:08:18 > 0:08:23- Yeah.- So I am forced to say...
0:08:23 > 0:08:26- "Frond".- "Frond".
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Not a bad answer at all.
0:08:28 > 0:08:34You're hoping to score as few points as possible with "frond". How many people said "frond"?
0:08:41 > 0:08:45Not a bad score at all.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49- "Frond".- Quite a big score, though, isn't it, for "frond"?
0:08:49 > 0:08:55I thought it was more obscure. It's loosely used to mean large leaves of palm trees.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59Well, we're halfway through the round. Let's look at the scores.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Well, it's quite a broad field.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Matt and Will
0:09:03 > 0:09:08and Stephen and Samantha equal low-scorers on 12.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12John and Pete on 25, not bad at all.
0:09:12 > 0:09:17Morgan and Jen way out in front.
0:09:17 > 0:09:23Mind you, these words ending in "..ond" are being ticked off, so anything could happen.
0:09:23 > 0:09:28Could the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:09:29 > 0:09:34OK, we are looking for words ending in "..ond".
0:09:34 > 0:09:37Pete, you're on 25.
0:09:37 > 0:09:43Jen and Morgan are the high-scorers. If you score 74 or less, you are through to the next round.
0:09:43 > 0:09:48I don't know if I've got my spelling right. I hope I have.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52I'm going to say..."beyond".
0:09:52 > 0:09:54"Beyond". There is your red line.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58If you can come below that, you are through to the next round.
0:09:58 > 0:10:03"Beyond". Let's see how many people said "beyond".
0:10:07 > 0:10:09Well done. You're through.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15APPLAUSE
0:10:15 > 0:10:19That takes your total up to 43 for "beyond".
0:10:19 > 0:10:23Scored less than "frond", "beyond". You'd think that'd be a big scorer.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Thank you very much, Richard.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30Will and Matt, the high-scorers remain Jen and Morgan.
0:10:30 > 0:10:35- You need to score 86 points or fewer.- Right.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Words ending in "..ond".
0:10:37 > 0:10:41I'm going to go for "second".
0:10:41 > 0:10:44"Second", you're saying. Here's your red line.
0:10:44 > 0:10:49If "second" gets you below that, you're through to the next round.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51How many people said "second"?
0:10:54 > 0:10:56Well done. You're through.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59Quite a high score there.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03Takes your total to 64, but you are through to the next round.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07- Richard. - Yeah, big score but safely through.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10- Now then, Samantha. - SHE GIGGLES
0:11:10 > 0:11:13- You're on 12.- Yeah. - Jen and Morgan are on 100.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15You need to score 87 or less.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18If you do, you are through to the next round.
0:11:18 > 0:11:23I'm not confident enough to make a word up that could be 100 points.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27What I'm going to say could, potentially, be 100 anyway!
0:11:27 > 0:11:31- "Pond".- "Pond"?- Mmm. - You're saying "pond".
0:11:31 > 0:11:36There's your red line. Below that, you are through to the next round.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40- "Pond". What do you think, Stephen? - SAMANTHA CHUCKLES
0:11:40 > 0:11:42It probably will be about 95.
0:11:42 > 0:11:48How deep is your pond? Let's see. How many people said "pond"?
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Well done. You're through to the next round.
0:11:54 > 0:12:00That scores you 66 and takes your total up to 78. Richard.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02"Pond" is an interesting word.
0:12:02 > 0:12:06It actually means "a small body of still water".
0:12:06 > 0:12:11Sometimes in the countryside you'll see a small area of flat water.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13- You could call that a "pond". - LAUGHTER
0:12:13 > 0:12:16A "pond".
0:12:16 > 0:12:20- Oh. Now, then, Jen and Morgan.- Yes.
0:12:20 > 0:12:25I'm very sorry to tell you that you are still the high-scorers,
0:12:25 > 0:12:29even before you've given your answer.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31This is a great shame.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35Nonetheless, let's have a crack at it, Jen.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39I've had quite a while to think about it.
0:12:39 > 0:12:45- I'm going for a word that ends in "..ond". I'm going to say "respond". - "Respond".
0:12:45 > 0:12:48Let's see how many people said "respond".
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Very well done, Jen!
0:12:58 > 0:13:02You've done everything you had to do.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05Scores you seven.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08- Richard.- Well done, Jen.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12There's all sorts of pointless answers, as you can imagine.
0:13:12 > 0:13:18We've had "pond" and "second", and you'd find pointless answers if you put words in front of them.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Let's take a look.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23Not hyphenated, "fishpond" and "millpond".
0:13:23 > 0:13:28Both are pointless answers. "Keeshond" is a breed of dog.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32- Then we get on to the "seconds"... - GROANING
0:13:32 > 0:13:37There are more obscures ones, but "millisecond" is a pointless answer.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Do you know what "voicespond" means?
0:13:41 > 0:13:46- No.- It means when you leave someone a message.
0:13:46 > 0:13:51- No?- To leave a voicemail or answer a machine message is to "voicespond".
0:13:51 > 0:13:54"Gamond" is a leaping movement in dance.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58"Overfond" means to be... overfond of somebody.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02Let's look at the worst answers. Some of these will be familiar.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06These are ones that most of our 100 people said...
0:14:09 > 0:14:12..If only there was a "unibond"...
0:14:20 > 0:14:23..That's "pond", 66, as Samantha found out.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26Thank you very much, Richard.
0:14:26 > 0:14:32At the end of round one, the losing pair with the highest score is Jen and Morgan.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35- What a shame! You were under pressure.- I was. I cracked.
0:14:35 > 0:14:42You were on the first podium. It's tough with these word things. You need time to let it steep.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46You'll have time to let your Pointless experience steep.
0:14:46 > 0:14:51I'm sure you'll come back and storm through to the final.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55Meanwhile, thank you for playing. You've been brilliant contestants.
0:14:55 > 0:14:59For the remaining three pairs, it's time for round two.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08Only two pairs can make it through to the head-to-head.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12One team is leaving us at the end of this round. The category is...
0:15:15 > 0:15:20..Catchphrases. Samantha looks very happy with that!
0:15:20 > 0:15:24Can you all decide who's going first and who's going second?
0:15:24 > 0:15:27Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32And the question concerns...
0:15:35 > 0:15:38..We'll show you a list of catchphrases.
0:15:38 > 0:15:43We asked 100 people to tell us the celebrities most closely associated with them.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47- Richard.- We're going to show you six catchphrases in each pass.
0:15:47 > 0:15:54The more obscure, the fewer points you'll score. An incorrect answer will score 100 points.
0:15:54 > 0:15:59We are looking for the celebrities most closely associated with these catchphrases.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02And we have got...
0:16:15 > 0:16:20..Don't they just come alive when said by me(?)...
0:16:29 > 0:16:31..There we are. There are the catchphrases.
0:16:31 > 0:16:36We need you to supply the celebrities most closely associated with them
0:16:36 > 0:16:40and try to find the most obscure one possible. Stephen.
0:16:40 > 0:16:45I thought it was going to be easy going first but my mind's gone.
0:16:45 > 0:16:50I think "It's the way I tell 'em" is the comic Frank Carson.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54"It's the way I tell em", Frank Carson you are saying.
0:16:54 > 0:17:00Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said it. Could be a very good answer.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05It's right.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14Not a bad score at all.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17- Richard. - Yeah, Frank Carson. Very well done.
0:17:17 > 0:17:22- His other catchphrase, "It's a cracker."- Now then, Will.
0:17:22 > 0:17:27This is really annoying. I hear "Super, smashing, great" going round in my head.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31I just can't see who's saying it!
0:17:31 > 0:17:34I'm going to have to go for the obvious one.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38Cilla Black for "Lorra lorra laughs".
0:17:38 > 0:17:42"Lorra lorra laughs", is that Cilla Black? If it is, how many people said it?
0:17:49 > 0:17:52Very popular woman. Very popular catchphrase.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56- 71 for "Lorra lorra laughs". - Very big score, isn't it?
0:17:56 > 0:18:00She used to say it on Blind Date.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03It was a good answer, Will, but a very high scoring one.
0:18:03 > 0:18:08- So, Pete, we come to you. - Yeah, I recognise a few of those.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12Do you have any catchphrases at the chemical patent office?
0:18:12 > 0:18:17- Um...- "Don't drop it!" - LAUGHTER
0:18:17 > 0:18:20"Super, smashing, great" is haunting me as well.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24It's from Bull's Eye but I can't remember the chap's name.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27"Shut that door", I'm pretty sure is Larry Grayson.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31"Like this, not a lot", I'm sure is Paul Daniels.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35"Titter ye not", I don't know. Somebody from a by-gone era.
0:18:37 > 0:18:42I'm going to go for... Larry Grayson hasn't been around for longer.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45Larry Grayson, "Shut that door".
0:18:45 > 0:18:48Larry Grayson, "Shut that door". Let's see if it's right.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52If it is, let's see how many people said Larry Grayson.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55It's right.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01Still a very, very popular catchphrase.
0:19:01 > 0:19:0359 for Larry Grayson. Richard.
0:19:03 > 0:19:08- A big score for somebody who hasn't been on TV.- Is he still with us?
0:19:08 > 0:19:11- He's not. - That door finally closed.- Yeah.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14Let's look at the rest of the answers...
0:19:14 > 0:19:17He did give fair warning. Paul Daniels...
0:19:21 > 0:19:24LAUGHS
0:19:27 > 0:19:32.."Super, smashing, great", to put you out your misery, Jim Bowen.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36- That would have scored you 15. - Thank you very much, Richard.
0:19:36 > 0:19:41We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at the scores.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44A lovely low score for Stephen and Samantha.
0:19:44 > 0:19:49Then Pete and John on 59. A very high score for Larry Grayson.
0:19:49 > 0:19:53Will and Matt, 71 for "Lorra lorra laughs", Cilla Black.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55So the contest in this second pass
0:19:55 > 0:20:00is going to be between Matt and John, I would say.
0:20:00 > 0:20:05Especially you, Matt, have to find a low-scoring obscure catchphrase.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08Samantha, you should be through to the head-to-head.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:20:14 > 0:20:20We are looking for the celebrity most closely associated with saying these catchphrases.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23We're going to put six more up on the board...
0:20:36 > 0:20:38..I'm going to read those again...
0:20:45 > 0:20:49..The celebrities most closely associated with these catchphrases.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53You are trying to find the one that the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:20:53 > 0:20:59- John, I think you're going to be rather good at this. - I recognise all of them.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02It's very difficult to put names to them.
0:21:02 > 0:21:08- I'm going to go for "Know what I mean, 'Arry?" and say Frank Bruno. - Very good indeed.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12You are on 59. The high-scorers are Matt and Will.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16Should you score 11 points or fewer with "Know what I mean, 'Arry?",
0:21:16 > 0:21:21you'll be certain of a place in the head-to-head.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25You're saying Frank Bruno. Here is your red line.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Below that, you are definitely through.
0:21:29 > 0:21:35"Know what I mean, 'Arry?" Was that Frank Bruno and, if so, how many people said it?
0:21:41 > 0:21:46Scores you 41. Takes your total up to a nice round 100.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48- Richard.- Well played, John.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52Of course, he used to say it to Harry Carpenter.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Matt, you are on 71.
0:21:54 > 0:22:00The high-scorers are Peter and John. Should you score 28 or less,
0:22:00 > 0:22:03you are definitely through to the next round.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06There's one that I'm confident on,
0:22:06 > 0:22:10but I'm not confident it will score under 28.
0:22:10 > 0:22:14So I'm going to completely guess one of the other ones.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17I'm going to go with "And there's more",
0:22:17 > 0:22:20and I'm going to say Bernard Manning.
0:22:21 > 0:22:26You want to be scoring 28 points or less. There's your red line.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30Below that, you're through to the next round. It has to be correct.
0:22:30 > 0:22:34Bernard Manning, "And there's more". Let's see if it's right.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39Bad luck, Matt. Bad luck.
0:22:42 > 0:22:46It scores you the maximum of 100 points. Takes your total to 171.
0:22:46 > 0:22:52- An unbeatable 171.- Unlucky, Matt. You've got to have a go.
0:22:52 > 0:22:57Bernard Manning's catchphrases were slightly different to that!
0:22:57 > 0:23:02- Samantha.- Yeah.- Whatever you say, you are through to the next round.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04- Mm-hm.- That's nice to know, isn't it?
0:23:04 > 0:23:07- Yeah.- How does the board behind me look?
0:23:07 > 0:23:14The first one, I think, is said in Irish but I'm not sure who it is.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17Second one is Bruce Forsyth.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21Not sure on, "Ooh, I could crush a grape" and "Nah! Luton Airport".
0:23:21 > 0:23:23I think the last one,
0:23:23 > 0:23:27"Just like that", is Tommy Cooper.
0:23:27 > 0:23:33- That is going to be your answer? - Yes.- Tommy Cooper, "Just like that".
0:23:33 > 0:23:38Let's see if that's a right answer and how many people said it.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47Quite a high score, but who cares?
0:23:47 > 0:23:50You're still through to the next round.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53- Richard.- Yeah. Let's go through the rest...
0:23:59 > 0:24:02.."Nah! Luton Airport", do you remember that?
0:24:02 > 0:24:06- I don't. - Lorraine Chase, from an advert.
0:24:06 > 0:24:0939 points! From a '70s advert.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13"And there's more" wasn't Bernard Manning. It was Jimmy Cricket.
0:24:13 > 0:24:18"Ooh, I could crush a grape"? That's from our childhood.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21- Stu... Crackerjack man!- Yeah.
0:24:21 > 0:24:26From Crackerjack, it was Stu Francis.
0:24:26 > 0:24:31So, at the end of Round Two, the losing pair with the highest score, I'm afraid, it's Will and Matt.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35Bad luck, guys. We have to say goodbye to you now.
0:24:35 > 0:24:39We will see you next time, when you come back rejuvenated, refreshed,
0:24:39 > 0:24:43keen to get right through to the final, which I'm sure you will.
0:24:43 > 0:24:47You've been great contestants. Thank you.
0:24:47 > 0:24:48APPLAUSE
0:24:50 > 0:24:56For the remaining two pairs, things are going to get even more exciting, as we enter the head-to-head.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04Pete and John, Stephen and Samantha, you've made it to the head-to-head.
0:25:04 > 0:25:08Only one pair can play for the jackpot,
0:25:08 > 0:25:11which currently stands at...
0:25:12 > 0:25:14AUDIENCE: Oooh!
0:25:16 > 0:25:19You're going head-to-head on the best of three questions.
0:25:19 > 0:25:24For each question, give me one answer. You are allowed to confer.
0:25:24 > 0:25:29Come up with an answer that scores less than the other pair and win that question.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32The pair who get to the best of three play for today's jackpot.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36- Let's play Pointless. - APPLAUSE
0:25:40 > 0:25:42Here is your first question.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:25:49 > 0:25:53..as they could. Colours of Trivial Pursuit categories.
0:25:53 > 0:25:59- Richard.- Any of the colours of the six categories in the original Genus edition of Trivial Pursuit.
0:25:59 > 0:26:05Peter and John, because you've played best so far, you get to go first.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09We are looking for the colours of the Trivial Pursuit categories.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12ALL WHISPER
0:26:14 > 0:26:19- We're going to say brown. - Pete and John are saying brown.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22Stephen and Samantha.
0:26:22 > 0:26:28- OK, um...- We think brown's probably the best answer! Shall we go yellow?
0:26:28 > 0:26:32- Pink's a bright colour. People remember bright colours.- OK.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34We'll go for yellow.
0:26:34 > 0:26:38- Yellow?- Yeah. - We have brown. We have yellow.
0:26:38 > 0:26:42- You think brown's the best answer? - Possibly, yeah.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45- Golly. How do you work that out? - LAUGHTER
0:26:45 > 0:26:49I know! We can put it to the test. Pete and John said brown.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53Let's see if brown's right and, if it is, how many people said brown.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04APPLAUSE
0:27:04 > 0:27:07Stephen and Samantha, 45, what are you thinking?
0:27:07 > 0:27:11- You think yellow is going to be higher?- 46, probably.
0:27:13 > 0:27:18OK. Is yellow right and, if it is, how many people said yellow?
0:27:22 > 0:27:24Ooh, no!
0:27:24 > 0:27:26Wow!
0:27:26 > 0:27:30Yellow, 83. So, after the first question, Pete and John
0:27:30 > 0:27:31are up one-nil.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35- Richard. - Yeah, brown's a good answer.
0:27:35 > 0:27:42One colour would have beaten brown, that very bright one. Pink was the most obscure answer.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46Pink, entertainment, 44.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48Brown, arts and literature, 45.
0:27:48 > 0:27:53Orange, sport and leisure, 61. That's what I always went for.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55Yellow, 83. That's history.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57Green, science and nature, 89.
0:27:57 > 0:28:02Blue, which is geography, right at the top on 93.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05Thanks very much, Richard.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08Before our second question, Stephen and Samantha,
0:28:08 > 0:28:12you have to win this point to stay in the game.
0:28:12 > 0:28:17Pete and John, if you win this question, you are through to the final.
0:28:17 > 0:28:21We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:28:24 > 0:28:27That is brilliant!
0:28:27 > 0:28:32Things that Rick Astley is "never gonna" do.
0:28:32 > 0:28:40- Richard.- Any of the six phrases that follow "never gonna" in Rick Astley's hit.
0:28:40 > 0:28:45We need the whole phrase or line that follows "never gonna", please.
0:28:45 > 0:28:47Brilliant!
0:28:51 > 0:28:54"Never gonna make you cry".
0:28:54 > 0:28:59"Never gonna make you cry", Stephen and Samantha are saying.
0:28:59 > 0:29:03- Pete and John. - He'll know a lot more than me.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06There's no way I'm owning up to knowing that.
0:29:06 > 0:29:11I'm going to take a total stab in the dark. I haven't got a clue.
0:29:11 > 0:29:15"Never gonna run around and desert you".
0:29:15 > 0:29:20- I've got no idea.- A total stab in the dark(!)- No idea(!)
0:29:20 > 0:29:24If you'd locked an infinite number of monkeys in a room...
0:29:24 > 0:29:28they might have come up with "run around and desert you".
0:29:28 > 0:29:32So we have Stephen and Samantha with "make you cry". Is it right?
0:29:32 > 0:29:37- Are you confident? - We think it's right.- 98% yeah.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40Let's see how many people said "make you cry".
0:29:42 > 0:29:44Well done. It's good.
0:29:50 > 0:29:54APPLAUSE
0:29:56 > 0:30:01Pete and John have never even heard of Rick Astley.
0:30:01 > 0:30:04They literally put some letters together
0:30:04 > 0:30:09in the hope that they formed words that might to be in a Rick Astley song.
0:30:09 > 0:30:14They've said, "Never gonna run around and desert you".
0:30:14 > 0:30:17- LAUGHTER - Let's see if that's right.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20If it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24It's right!
0:30:29 > 0:30:32Very close!
0:30:34 > 0:30:37That's what you had to do, Stephen and Samantha.
0:30:37 > 0:30:41And you have done it. It's one-all.
0:30:41 > 0:30:45- Richard.- There's one answer that would have beaten "make you cry".
0:30:45 > 0:30:49Let's take a look at all six. I'm going to read them from the top.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51# Never gonna give you up #
0:30:51 > 0:30:5467.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54# Never gonna let you down #
0:30:54 > 0:30:5945.
0:30:55 > 0:30:59# Never gonna run around and desert you #
0:30:59 > 0:31:02That's 24.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02# Never gonna make you cry #
0:31:02 > 0:31:0520.
0:31:03 > 0:31:05# Never gonna say goodbye #
0:31:05 > 0:31:0624.
0:31:06 > 0:31:10# Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you #
0:31:10 > 0:31:12Best answer on the board, 12.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
0:31:17 > 0:31:20Here is your third question.
0:31:20 > 0:31:24Whoever wins this question is through to the final
0:31:24 > 0:31:29and will be playing for that colossal jackpot, £7,500. Good luck.
0:31:29 > 0:31:33We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:31:36 > 0:31:40..as they could. Bank holiday months.
0:31:40 > 0:31:46- Richard.- We're looking for any month that has one or more bank holidays in England and Wales in 2011.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49Pete and John, you go first this time.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51WHISPER
0:31:51 > 0:31:55This is a hard one cos we know them all.
0:31:55 > 0:32:01So which one are we going to go for? I think we'll go for August.
0:32:01 > 0:32:07You're going to go for the August bank holiday. Stephen and Samantha?
0:32:07 > 0:32:11- Shall we take a punt on the royal wedding?- April?
0:32:11 > 0:32:15- We're going to go April, royal wedding.- April, OK.
0:32:15 > 0:32:19So we have August and we have April.
0:32:19 > 0:32:23- You think because that's a floating bank holiday, people might...?- Yeah.
0:32:23 > 0:32:26You said 2011 so we've gone with that.
0:32:26 > 0:32:31Well, whoever wins this question is through to the final.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33Pete and John said August.
0:32:33 > 0:32:37Let's see if that's right and how many people said August.
0:32:43 > 0:32:45Sorry.
0:32:45 > 0:32:49- What do you think, Samantha? - Ooh, I don't know.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54- It's tricky.- Let's find out.
0:32:54 > 0:32:58How many people said April?
0:33:03 > 0:33:06Well done!
0:33:07 > 0:33:09APPLAUSE
0:33:11 > 0:33:16Very well done indeed. After three questions, Stephen and Samantha
0:33:16 > 0:33:20- are through to the final. - Well played, Stephen and Samantha.
0:33:20 > 0:33:272011, April, three bank holidays - Good Friday, Easter Monday and the royal wedding. Let's take a look.
0:33:41 > 0:33:47Thank you very much, Richard. So the losing pair at the end of the head-to-head is Pete and John.
0:33:47 > 0:33:52We had two quite tough judgment answers in the head-to-head.
0:33:52 > 0:33:56- Very tough. - We will see you again next time.
0:33:56 > 0:34:02Who knows? Maybe we will have more chemistry questions and well-boring.
0:34:02 > 0:34:07Meanwhile, it's been wonderful having you on the show. Thank you so much for playing.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10APPLAUSE
0:34:10 > 0:34:16For Stephen and Samantha, it's our Pointless final and the chance to win our jackpot of £7,500!
0:34:22 > 0:34:25Many congratulations, Stephen and Samantha.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27You fought off the competition
0:34:27 > 0:34:31and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy!
0:34:36 > 0:34:40You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:34:40 > 0:34:45At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £7,500!
0:34:45 > 0:34:47AUDIENCE: Ooooh!
0:34:48 > 0:34:50The rules are very simple.
0:34:50 > 0:34:55Find a pointless answer, one that none of our 100 people can think of.
0:34:55 > 0:35:01We haven't had any pointless answers today. You only need one now to go home with that money.
0:35:01 > 0:35:05First, you've got to choose a category from these three options...
0:35:16 > 0:35:22- ..What are you thinking? - Opera, I don't think either of us are brilliant at opera.
0:35:22 > 0:35:26- We'll have to say no to that one. - What about American authors?
0:35:26 > 0:35:31I know a little bit, but I don't know whether I'm confident enough. Are you?
0:35:31 > 0:35:34Can we get a pointless answer out of it?
0:35:34 > 0:35:39- Not sure! What about golf? - I know a little bit about golf.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42But it depends what golf question comes up.
0:35:42 > 0:35:48- Would you say you know more about golf than American authors? - Definitely.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51- So let's go for golf. - It's all me?- Yeah.
0:35:51 > 0:35:55- All right.- OK, it's on your head, Stephen.- As always!
0:35:55 > 0:36:00What would you like the question about golf to be, what category?
0:36:00 > 0:36:06Oh, um... I don't know. British Open winners? Something like that.
0:36:06 > 0:36:11Let's find out what the question is. Good luck to both of you.
0:36:11 > 0:36:16We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many US Masters winners
0:36:16 > 0:36:20since 1960, as they could. Richard.
0:36:20 > 0:36:26We're looking for any of the 30 golfers to have won the US Masters held at Augusta National
0:36:26 > 0:36:29between 1960 and 2010, inclusive.
0:36:29 > 0:36:32You now have up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:36:32 > 0:36:39All you need to win that £7,500 is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41Your 60 seconds start now.
0:36:41 > 0:36:46It's a green jacket, so anyone you remember who's worn a green jacket.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49- Green jacket? - That's what you get when you win.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51Vijay Singh, he won it.
0:36:51 > 0:36:55- Obviously, Mickelson and Tiger Woods.- They're too popular.
0:36:55 > 0:36:57Vijay Singh is probably a good one.
0:36:57 > 0:37:01Tom Hamilton won the BRITISH Open!
0:37:01 > 0:37:05Geoff Ogilvy won something. It might have been the USPGA.
0:37:05 > 0:37:09- We might have to say him. - Since 1960?
0:37:09 > 0:37:13Ben Hogan seems to be in my head, so I could say him - if you want.
0:37:13 > 0:37:18- How confident are you with Ben Hogan? - Literally popped into my head now.
0:37:18 > 0:37:22Vijay Singh, Ben Hogan, Geoff Ogilvy. We've still got time.
0:37:22 > 0:37:24Geoff Ogilvy, who is he?
0:37:24 > 0:37:26He is an Australian.
0:37:26 > 0:37:30Who else? Greg Norman. He may have won it as well.
0:37:30 > 0:37:34They'll remember that cos he collapsed. Faldo... Argh!
0:37:34 > 0:37:37- Geoff Ogilvy, when was he? - Not that long ago.
0:37:37 > 0:37:40But I think he might be quite good.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42Oh, God!
0:37:42 > 0:37:44OK, There is your minute.
0:37:44 > 0:37:50We're looking for US Masters winners since 1960. I need three answers.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53I'm going to say... Do you know what?
0:37:53 > 0:37:57I've got one just popped into my head. Davis Love III.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00- Davis Love III.- Ben Hogan.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02- Ben Hogan.- And...
0:38:02 > 0:38:04- Vijay Singh.- Vijay Singh.
0:38:04 > 0:38:09Of those three, which do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:09 > 0:38:14Davis Love came into my head at the end, so let's toss that one in!
0:38:14 > 0:38:19- Let's toss Davis Love III... - Maybe just chip it in.
0:38:19 > 0:38:23- Let's chip Davis Love III in third. - Yeah.
0:38:23 > 0:38:28- Who's your least likely pointless? - I think Vijay's right.
0:38:28 > 0:38:31- We'll put Vijay first. - Vijay Singh?- Yeah.- Ben Hogan.
0:38:31 > 0:38:36- Yeah.- Davis Love III.- Yeah.- Let's put them on the board in that order.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38Here they are...
0:38:44 > 0:38:46..There they are.
0:38:46 > 0:38:52So we were looking for US Masters winners since 1960.
0:38:52 > 0:38:56You said this was the least confident answer, Vijay Singh.
0:38:56 > 0:38:58You knew it was right.
0:38:58 > 0:39:03You didn't think it was necessarily going to be pointless.
0:39:03 > 0:39:08You only need one pointless answer to win that £7,500 jackpot.
0:39:08 > 0:39:15Vijay Singh, let's see if it's right and, if it is, how many people said Vijay Singh.
0:39:20 > 0:39:25Looking for some idea of how much our 100 know about the US Masters.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32APPLAUSE
0:39:32 > 0:39:34Wow!
0:39:36 > 0:39:43That's not a pointless answer but it looks like we've got a game on our hands!
0:39:43 > 0:39:48- This is very exciting indeed. That went down to two, Stephen.- Oh!
0:39:48 > 0:39:50Amazing.
0:39:50 > 0:39:54- It's looking exciting, isn't it, Samantha?- Very exciting.
0:39:54 > 0:39:58You only have two more chances to win today's jackpot.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00£7,500! What would you do with that?
0:40:00 > 0:40:04- Nice holiday would be quite nice. - Oh, I should think!- Yeah.
0:40:04 > 0:40:09- What else, Stephen?- I don't know. Maybe ask a question...perhaps.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11AUDIENCE: Oooh
0:40:11 > 0:40:15- Now, that would be exciting. - LAUGHS
0:40:15 > 0:40:18We are looking for winners of the US Masters since 1960.
0:40:18 > 0:40:23Your first answer, Vijay Singh, your least confident answer, scored two!
0:40:23 > 0:40:27Let's hope nobody said Ben Hogan. Let's hope it's correct.
0:40:27 > 0:40:31And let's hope it goes all the way down to nothing.
0:40:31 > 0:40:35It has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot.
0:40:35 > 0:40:39Fingers tightly crossed. Ben Hogan, is it right?
0:40:39 > 0:40:41How many people said it?
0:40:42 > 0:40:45AUDIENCE GROANS
0:40:45 > 0:40:47WHISPERS: Never mind.
0:40:47 > 0:40:51- Unfortunately, an incorrect answer. - It was a bit of a punt.
0:40:51 > 0:40:56- Definitely a punt. - You only have one more chance.
0:40:56 > 0:41:00How sure are you about Davis Love III?
0:41:00 > 0:41:04Not very sure now, no. He popped into my head for some reason, so...
0:41:04 > 0:41:08- You see!- Thought I'd go with it. - Popped into your head.
0:41:08 > 0:41:10Davis Love III.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13OK, this is your last chance
0:41:13 > 0:41:15to win our jackpot of £7,500.
0:41:15 > 0:41:19You said this was the answer you had the most faith in to be pointless.
0:41:19 > 0:41:23It just has to be correct, then has to go all the way down to nothing.
0:41:23 > 0:41:27Is it right and, if it is, how many people said Davis Love III?
0:41:30 > 0:41:33Oh, no!
0:41:33 > 0:41:37- APPLAUSE - Oh, no!
0:41:40 > 0:41:46Oh, no! Unfortunately, you didn't find our crucial pointless answers.
0:41:46 > 0:41:51You don't win today's jackpot of £7,500, more's the pity, and it rolls over to the next show.
0:41:51 > 0:41:55You've been brilliant contestants and take home our Pointless trophy.
0:41:55 > 0:41:58APPLAUSE
0:42:01 > 0:42:04So sorry you didn't win that. Richard.
0:42:04 > 0:42:06Davis Love III came second twice!
0:42:06 > 0:42:10He won the USPGA championship but didn't win the Masters.
0:42:10 > 0:42:14Given that love endures longer than money, you could ask her anyway!
0:42:14 > 0:42:17LAUGHTER
0:42:17 > 0:42:23Let's take a look at the pointless answers. There will be a few names you recognise, I suspect.
0:42:23 > 0:42:25The 2009 winner, Angel Cabrera...
0:42:33 > 0:42:39..Larry Mize hit the most famous shot when he beat Seve Ballasteros
0:42:39 > 0:42:41when he chipped in on the last green...
0:42:48 > 0:42:53..All of those were pointless. Very, very tough luck.
0:42:53 > 0:42:56Ben Hogan, this was way after his time.
0:42:56 > 0:42:59He did win. He won in '51 and '53.
0:42:59 > 0:43:02Oh, dear. You knew some of those, didn't you?
0:43:02 > 0:43:08I've heard of them but they didn't pop into my head at the right time, so...
0:43:08 > 0:43:12Unfortunately, we do have to say goodbye, Stephen and Samantha.
0:43:12 > 0:43:16It's been brilliant having you on the show. Thank you.
0:43:16 > 0:43:18APPLAUSE AND WHISTLES
0:43:20 > 0:43:23Nobody's won our jackpot, which means on the next show
0:43:23 > 0:43:27we will be playing for £8,500!
0:43:27 > 0:43:29AUDIENCE: Ooooh!
0:43:29 > 0:43:33- Join us next time. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:33 > 0:43:37- And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye. - APPLAUSE AND WHISTLES
