:00:31. > :00:34.Thank you very much indeed. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong. Welcome to
:00:34. > :00:41.Pointless, the quiz show where popular answers mean nothing and
:00:41. > :00:45.obscure answers mean everything. First, we welcome back Jen and
:00:45. > :00:48.Morgan. You were on the show last time. Everyone gets two chances to
:00:48. > :00:51.reach the final. This is your second chance. Remind us how you
:00:51. > :00:56.did. Not very well. Went out in the first round. We've regrouped and
:00:57. > :01:04.we're ready for another try. What was it that did it for you, Jen?
:01:04. > :01:07.I think. It was words. What do you do, Morgan? I'm an environmental
:01:07. > :01:11.crime officer for the Environment Agency. Very good. What do you do
:01:11. > :01:14.in your spare time, Jen? I like singing. I'm a member of a rock
:01:14. > :01:18.choir. A rock choir! Brilliant. Lovely to have you back. Next, we
:01:18. > :01:21.welcome Pete and John back to the show. You were on last time. John,
:01:21. > :01:25.what are you hoping will come up this afternoon? Well, I'd like to
:01:25. > :01:30.see maybe English literature and drama, and football. Pete, what do
:01:30. > :01:34.you do in your spare time? I like going out for day trips with the
:01:34. > :01:36.family. We like going to the seaside, visiting castles. If
:01:36. > :01:43.there's any well boring installations, that's always a
:01:43. > :01:48.bonus. We did this last time. I'll bring you up to speed. Pete, you
:01:48. > :01:58.actually bore wells, do you? Some of what I deal with is well boring,
:01:58. > :01:59.
:01:59. > :02:02.yeah. LAUGHTER. Best of luck to the pair of you. Next, we welcome back
:02:02. > :02:06.our third returning pair, Will and Matt. You were also on the show
:02:06. > :02:09.last time. Remind us how you did? We went out in the second round.
:02:09. > :02:12.Really tough catchphrases from a very long time ago. From a bygone
:02:12. > :02:22.era. You said with a curled lip! That bygone era, incidentally,
:02:22. > :02:23.
:02:23. > :02:26.being the 1980s! LAUGHTER. Before you were even born! Exactly! Very
:02:27. > :02:30.best of luck, great to have you back. Finally, we have Lindsay and
:02:30. > :02:33.Chris. How do you two know each other? We met at a party at my
:02:34. > :02:36.house. It was supposed to be a fancy dress party. But nobody else
:02:36. > :02:40.could be bothered dressing up. Lindsay and her friend dressed as
:02:40. > :02:43.Oliver Twist and the Artful Dodger. Did you dress up? No, we were very
:02:43. > :02:47.lazy. What do you do, Chris? I'm a sound engineer. I work in a
:02:47. > :02:50.recording studio. Whereabouts is that? In Belfast. You're from
:02:50. > :02:56.Belfast, I'm guessing from your accent. Lindsay, are you from
:02:56. > :03:01.Belfast, too? Yes, I am. What do you do? I study leisure events and
:03:01. > :03:04.cultural management. Best of luck, great to have you here. We'll find
:03:04. > :03:06.out more about you in the show. There's one person left to
:03:06. > :03:12.introduce. With all the answers. My right-hand man. My Pointless friend.
:03:12. > :03:19.Richard. Hiya. Hiya. Good afternoon. The top of the afternoon to you.
:03:19. > :03:22.Are you well? Yes. Very well. How about you? Very well. Three
:03:22. > :03:25.returning pairs today, which is fun. We know a bit about them already.
:03:25. > :03:28.Peter and John proved themselves to be the strongest last time. They
:03:28. > :03:32.got through to the head-head. I suspect they're the pair to beat.
:03:32. > :03:34.What questions have we got, what kind of a show is it? When we get
:03:34. > :03:37.to round three, we've got entertainment and sport. Round two
:03:37. > :03:40.is a very good round. Round two is lots of fun.
:03:40. > :03:43.Right, we've put all our questions to 100 people before the show. But
:03:43. > :03:46.this is Pointless, so we want the obscure answers they didn't get.
:03:46. > :03:51.What everyone's trying to do is find a pointless answer. An answer
:03:51. > :03:55.that none of our 100 people gave. Each time that happens, we add �250
:03:55. > :04:05.to the jackpot. Nobody won the jackpot last time so we add another
:04:05. > :04:15.
:04:15. > :04:18.�1,000 to that. Today's jackpot In the first round, each of you
:04:18. > :04:21.must give me one answer. You cannot confer with your partner. Whichever
:04:21. > :04:31.team has the highest score at the end will be eliminated. OK, our
:04:31. > :04:33.
:04:33. > :04:39.Well, decide in your pairs who's going first. Who's going second.
:04:39. > :04:42.Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
:04:42. > :04:50.We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many groups of islands as
:04:50. > :04:55.they could. Richard? Quite simply, all the correct answers on the
:04:55. > :04:58.board in this round will be names of major island groups. Right, Jen
:04:58. > :05:03.and Morgan. You drew lots before the show. This afternoon, you get
:05:03. > :05:06.to go first. In this round, we give you a choice of seven possible
:05:06. > :05:16.answers on the board in each pass. The first set of seven answers
:05:16. > :05:27.
:05:27. > :05:30.Now I can tell you at least one of those answers is pointless. But be
:05:30. > :05:34.careful as there is at least one incorrect answer on that board. If
:05:34. > :05:40.you pick one of those, you score the maximum 100 points. Now Jen,
:05:40. > :05:44.have you been to any of these groups of islands? Yes, I have. But
:05:44. > :05:49.I don't want to say that one, it's an obvious one. So I want to be
:05:49. > :05:54.more obscure. I'm going to have a bit of a guess. I'm going to say
:05:54. > :05:57.the Cook Islands. OK, the Cook Islands. Let's see if that's a
:05:57. > :06:06.right answer. If it is, let's see how many people said the Cook
:06:06. > :06:16.It's right. Well done, Jen. Ooh, down it goes. Single figures. Down
:06:16. > :06:19.
:06:19. > :06:22.That's an excellent answer. The Cook Islands scores you two. Very
:06:22. > :06:26.well played, very good start to the show. They're in the southern
:06:26. > :06:30.Pacific, 2,000 miles off New Zealand. OK. Now then, Pete.
:06:30. > :06:34.Remember we're looking for groups of islands. Yeah. Some that I
:06:34. > :06:41.recognise. I think I'm going to go with Ionian. There's definitely an
:06:41. > :06:45.Ionian Sea. I presume there's a group of islands off part of Greece,
:06:45. > :06:55.Greek islands. OK, let's see if the Ionian Islands exist. If they do,
:06:55. > :07:01.
:07:01. > :07:07.It's right. Down it goes. A low score. Very, very well done, Pete.
:07:07. > :07:11.Brilliant! That's an excellent answer. Scores you just one point.
:07:11. > :07:15.Ionian Islands, Richard? Well played, Peter. You're right. Off
:07:15. > :07:18.the west coast of Greece. Corfu is the most famous Ionian island.
:07:18. > :07:26.there is still a pointless answer on the board. Still an incorrect
:07:27. > :07:30.answer on the board. Yes. What are you thinking? What I might do,
:07:30. > :07:34.instead of going for the pointless, is to play it kind of safe, and
:07:34. > :07:37.hopefully Will has more of an idea what he needs to do in the second
:07:37. > :07:40.pass. So I'm going to say an obvious one, and say Seychelles.
:07:40. > :07:50.Let's see if the Seychelles is right. If so, let's see how many
:07:50. > :07:53.
:07:53. > :07:58.It's not bad. 15. Not a bad score at all, Matt. That paid off, that
:07:58. > :08:07.gamble. Richard? An island republic in the Indian Ocean which comprises
:08:07. > :08:14.Now then, Lindsay. We are looking for groups of islands. There are
:08:14. > :08:18.two that I'm sure of. And then, I think Bismarck is a ship. I might
:08:18. > :08:22.just gamble and hope Chris saves this, and go for Blackwell. You're
:08:22. > :08:25.going for Blackwell. Let's see if it's right, if Blackwell is an
:08:25. > :08:35.island group. And if it is, how many people said it. Good luck,
:08:35. > :08:36.
:08:36. > :08:39.Unfortunately, that is an incorrect answer which means you score the
:08:39. > :08:42.maximum of 100 points. I'm sorry, Lindsay. Richard? Sorry, Lindsay,
:08:42. > :08:49.Chris Blackwell is the founder of Island Records. There's not an
:08:49. > :08:52.island group. Let's look at the other answers up there. The ones
:08:52. > :08:55.you knew, the Balearic islands would have scored you 34. The
:08:55. > :09:00.Channel Islands would have scored you 30. So, a choice of Blackwell
:09:00. > :09:03.or Bismarck. You should have gone or Bismarck. You should have gone
:09:04. > :09:08.for Bismarck. It's volcanic islands off Papua New Guinea. The Bismarck
:09:08. > :09:12.Islands was a pointless answer. Islands was a pointless answer.
:09:12. > :09:15.Very well done at home if you said Bismarck. Thanks. We're halfway
:09:15. > :09:18.through the round, let's look at the scores. On one point, Pete and
:09:18. > :09:22.John, looking very, very strong indeed. Just one point ahead of
:09:22. > :09:30.them, Jen and Morgan, looking fantastic. Ahead of them, 15, Matt
:09:30. > :09:33.and Will. Then Chris and Lindsay on 100. Quite a long way ahead of the
:09:33. > :09:40.field. However, anything could happen in the next pass. Can the
:09:40. > :09:44.second players take their places at We're going to put seven more
:09:44. > :09:54.answers on the board. Remember, we're looking for groups of islands.
:09:54. > :10:05.
:10:05. > :10:08.Again, I can tell you at least one of those is a pointless answer. At
:10:08. > :10:15.least one of those is an incorrect answer. Pick an incorrect one, and
:10:15. > :10:20.you will score the maximum of 100 points. Now then, Chris. You have
:10:20. > :10:24.to score as low as you possibly can here. I'll go for a wild guess.
:10:24. > :10:34.I'll go for Nicobar. The Nicobar Islands. Let's see if that's right.
:10:34. > :10:42.
:10:42. > :10:47.Look at that! Very well done. APPLAUSE. Nicobar Islands, they
:10:47. > :10:50.score you two points, and take your total up to 102. Richard? Very well
:10:50. > :10:54.played. Kept yourself in the game, giving yourself a chance. They're
:10:54. > :11:02.part of India, in the eastern Indian Ocean. Lovely! Will, you're
:11:02. > :11:06.on 15. The high scorers on 102 are Chris and Lindsay. If you can score
:11:06. > :11:13.86 or less, you are through to the next round. 86 or less. It sounds
:11:13. > :11:16.OK. Um. I'm going to play it really easy and go for the Canary. Go for
:11:16. > :11:24.the Canary Islands. Let's see if it's right. If it is, let's see how
:11:24. > :11:30.Well done, you're through. 50. Very well done. Takes your score up to
:11:30. > :11:34.65. Richard? I think that was tactically astute from Will. You
:11:34. > :11:40.just had to avoid a high score. Canary Islands, off the coast of
:11:40. > :11:43.Spain, between Spain and Africa. Now then, John and Pete. Even if
:11:43. > :11:45.you score 100 points, you will not overtake Chris and Lindsay on their
:11:45. > :11:48.high score of 102. There's definitely at least one incorrect
:11:48. > :11:55.answer on the board. There's definitely at least one pointless
:11:55. > :12:03.answer on that board. I will still gamble on one of the two that I
:12:03. > :12:08.don't know. So I shall go for Lofoten. Lofoten. There it is. One
:12:08. > :12:11.up from the bottom. Lofoten. Is it right? If it is, let's see how many
:12:11. > :12:21.people said it. It's right. Very well done, John. This could go all
:12:21. > :12:27.
:12:27. > :12:30.the way down, I think. There we Very good. That's a Pointless
:12:30. > :12:33.answer. It adds �250 to today's jackpot, taking the total up to
:12:33. > :12:42.�8,750. And it scores you nothing, leaving you a total of one.
:12:42. > :12:52.Excellent total. Richard. Very well played, John. The Lofoten islands
:12:52. > :12:55.lie within the Arctic Circle. then, Morgan. Remember, we're
:12:55. > :12:58.looking for groups of islands. There are two answers up there that
:12:58. > :13:01.I think are right. Again, anything could happen on this game. So I'm
:13:01. > :13:05.going to play it safe and say the Maldives. OK, well, the high
:13:05. > :13:08.scorers are Chris and Lindsay on 102. If you can score 99 or less
:13:08. > :13:13.with this answer, you are through to the next round. Let's see if the
:13:13. > :13:21.Let's see how many people said it. Well done. Through to the next
:13:21. > :13:26.round. Wow! Very low score there. That scores you 13. Takes your
:13:26. > :13:30.total up to 15. Richard? Maldives, quite a low score, isn't
:13:30. > :13:33.it? Let's take a look at the rest of these answers. The Falklands
:13:33. > :13:43.Islands would have scored also a very low score, 19. Tuamotu and
:13:43. > :13:43.
:13:43. > :13:46.McGowan. One pointless, one is incorrect. What do you think?
:13:46. > :13:49.think...I'm going to say McGowan. Yeah, that's the cuckoo in the nest
:13:49. > :13:53.there. It is indeed. McGowan is an incorrect answer. Shane McGowan is
:13:53. > :13:55.the singer from the Pogues, who are an Ireland group, not an island
:13:55. > :13:59.group. And the Tuamotu is another pointless answer. In French
:13:59. > :14:04.Polynesia. Very well done if you said that at home. Lovely. Very
:14:04. > :14:08.good Richard. At the end of round one, the losing pair with the
:14:08. > :14:10.highest score is Lindsay and Chris. What a shame. We'll be back next
:14:10. > :14:15.time. There'll be questions on synthesizers and crime drama, it'll
:14:15. > :14:19.be great. There will be questions, I'm sure, on all those things. I'm
:14:19. > :14:29.sorry we have to say goodbye to you so soon, we'll see you next time.
:14:29. > :14:32.
:14:32. > :14:35.For the remaining three pairs, it's now time for round two. Only two
:14:35. > :14:45.pairs will make it through to the head-to-head. One team will leave
:14:45. > :14:47.
:14:47. > :14:50.us at the end of this round. OK, Oh, it IS fun. Can you decide, in
:14:50. > :15:00.your pairs, who will go first, who will go second? Whoever is going
:15:00. > :15:05.
:15:05. > :15:08.first, please step up to the podium. We'll show you a list of
:15:08. > :15:14.expressions in Cockney rhyming slang. We asked 100 people to tell
:15:14. > :15:17.us what they mean in everyday English. Richard. We'll show you
:15:17. > :15:20.six expressions on each pass. You have to tell us what they mean. The
:15:20. > :15:24.obscurer ones will score you fewer points. An incorrect answer will
:15:24. > :15:34.score 100 points. We're looking for the meaning of
:15:34. > :15:54.
:15:54. > :15:59.these Cockney rhyming slang So, Jen, what do you think to that
:15:59. > :16:02.lot? Play it a bit safe in this one. I'm not sure about all of them. I
:16:02. > :16:05.going to go for "half inch", which I think means pinch or steal
:16:05. > :16:15.something. "Half inch - pinch". Let's see if that's right and, if
:16:15. > :16:21.
:16:21. > :16:27.62. APPLAUSE. I'm looking forward to what you'll say. Half inch,
:16:27. > :16:36.pinch. It's a very good private. It's private dancer - answer.
:16:36. > :16:46.good! Thanks. Very, very, very... I think Tony did very well there.
:16:46. > :16:48.
:16:48. > :16:52.Tony Benn, Jen. Very good. It's too much, isn't it? Now then, John?
:16:52. > :16:55.think there's one I'm not terribly sure of, so I'll have to go for one
:16:55. > :16:58.that is safe but might score a lot. Butcher's hook, which is look.
:16:58. > :17:08.Let's see if that's right and how many people said "butcher's hook -
:17:08. > :17:18.
:17:18. > :17:26.Very good. "Butcher's hook" scores you 30. Well played, Simon. Simon
:17:26. > :17:30.Le Bon, John. Very good. Very good. Now then, Will, you're the last
:17:30. > :17:33.person to have this board, so you can talk us through all of them if
:17:33. > :17:37.you like. I know them all and I have no idea which... I think
:17:37. > :17:40.they're all pretty obvious to me. I'll go for "sky rocket - pocket".
:17:40. > :17:50."Sky rocket - pocket". If it's right, let's see how many people
:17:50. > :18:02.
:18:02. > :18:06.54. Richard? Very, very good answer from Damon. Damon Hill, Will. I
:18:06. > :18:13.won't do that on the way back, I promise. Very good. You are red
:18:13. > :18:19.hot! Are you some kind of pearly king? Are you? Hold on, is that
:18:19. > :18:29.rhyming slang? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's look at the rest of these.
:18:29. > :18:32.
:18:32. > :18:36."Butcher's hook" - the best answer Let's look at those scores. Right,
:18:36. > :18:40.on 30 - John and Pete, ahead of the field. Fantastic. Lovely low score
:18:40. > :18:48.there for "butcher's hook". Ahead of them, Will and Matt, courtesy of
:18:48. > :18:52.sky rocket. Then on 62, Jen and Morgan. Why you should have scored
:18:52. > :18:56.so much more than others, I don't know. That means you'll have to
:18:56. > :18:59.score as little as you can in the next pass to make sure you make it
:18:59. > :19:01.to the head-to-head. Can the second players please take their places at
:19:02. > :19:11.the podium? We'll put six more Cockney rhyming slang expressions
:19:12. > :19:29.
:19:29. > :19:32.We are looking for what these expressions mean in everyday
:19:33. > :19:38.English. You're trying to find the one that the fewest of our 100
:19:38. > :19:43.people knew. Matt? Yes. I'm going to say "me old china", which people
:19:43. > :19:47.may not know as "china plate", meaning "mate". The high scorers
:19:47. > :19:50.are Morgan and Jen on 62. If you can score seven or less with this
:19:50. > :20:00.answer you are definitely through to the next round. Let's see if
:20:00. > :20:09.
:20:09. > :20:14."china plate" - "mate" is right, Still going down. 43. APPLAUSE.
:20:14. > :20:18.a bad score. Takes your total up to 97. Richard? Well played. I was
:20:18. > :20:22.talking to somebody the other day who works in finance. He says they
:20:22. > :20:27.call �15 a Commodore. He asked me to work out why it was. I got it in
:20:27. > :20:31.the end. I will give you the answer at the end of the round as to why
:20:31. > :20:38.�15 might be a Commodore. See if you can work that out. Pete, you
:20:38. > :20:44.are on 30 - the high scorers are Matt and Will. You need 66 or less.
:20:44. > :20:48.This is quite tough. I think I won't play it entirely safe. I
:20:48. > :20:51.think I'll go with "plates of meat" and I think it's "feet". "Plates of
:20:51. > :20:54.meat - feet". OK, well, here is your red line coming in. Below that
:20:54. > :21:01.red line you are through to the head-to-head. "Plates of meat -
:21:01. > :21:07.feet". Is that right, and how many It is right. Oh! Look at that - 73.
:21:07. > :21:17.Takes your total up to 103. Richard? Yes, plates of meat are
:21:17. > :21:17.
:21:17. > :21:23.feet. Are you still thinking? Commodore. Got it! Have you got it?
:21:23. > :21:28.Yeah. We'll come to it later, though. Such a liar. Is it rhyming
:21:28. > :21:32.slang? It's a combination of rhyming slang and logic. Mm. Mm.
:21:32. > :21:36.Mm! Morgan? You and Jen are on 62 - the high scorers are currently Pete
:21:36. > :21:44.and John on 103. If you can score 40 or less, you are through to the

:22:00. > :22:07.Why isn't THAT on the board?! Morgan, was better than any of mine.
:22:07. > :22:12.You can write it down. I'll let you use it. Excellent. Morgan, what are
:22:12. > :22:15.you going to say? I'm going to be brave and I'm going to say "boat
:22:15. > :22:18.race" is "face". "Boat race" is "face". Very well said, Morgan.
:22:18. > :22:22.Here comes your red line. There it is. If "boat race - face" is right
:22:22. > :22:26.and goes below that red line you stay with us and are in the head-

:22:36. > :22:42.
:22:42. > :22:49.64, that scored you, I'm afraid to say. It takes your total up to an
:22:49. > :22:55.unbeatable 126. Richard? Unlucky, Morgan. If I may coin a phrase, you
:22:55. > :23:05.had to risk it for a biscuit. I did! It all went a bit Pete Tong.
:23:05. > :23:06.
:23:06. > :23:12."Apples and pears - stairs" is 86 - the biggest answer on the board.
:23:12. > :23:15.The best answer there is "china plate". Why is �15 a commodore?
:23:15. > :23:25.Commodore's biggest hit, Three Times A Lady. Lady - Lady Godiva -
:23:25. > :23:31.

:27:00. > :27:07.question? Nonetheless, you have. Pete and John, after the first
:27:07. > :27:10.question, you are ahead, 1-0. Well done. Richard? You did get beaten,
:27:10. > :27:14.despite the fact that the first thing I heard John say was "Did
:27:14. > :27:17.they do Wake Me Up Before You Go- Go?" and you still lost the point,
:27:17. > :27:27.guys. Let's take a look at the answers. There's a pointless answer

:27:52. > :27:56.question. Pete and John, if you win this point, you are straight
:27:56. > :28:06.through to the final. OK, we gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as
:28:06. > :28:10.
:28:10. > :28:13...as they could. Richard? In the 2010 Formula 1 World Championship,
:28:13. > :28:21.there were seven German drivers. You need the most obscure of that
:28:21. > :28:26.obscure bunch. OK, now Will and Matt, you go first this time.
:28:26. > :28:36.CONFER. That's all we've got. A little-known driver by the name of
:28:36. > :28:48.
:28:48. > :28:54.O...K. What are you thinking, Pete and John? I'm thinking there's
:28:54. > :28:57.another Schumacher. Er... Ralph Schumacher. Ralph Schumacher. Will
:28:57. > :29:04.and Matt are going for Michael Schumacher. Is it right? If so, how
:29:04. > :29:08.many people said it? It's right. 41. Pete and John have gone for Ralph
:29:08. > :29:13.Schumacher. If you win this point, you go straight through to the
:29:13. > :29:22.final. Ralph Schumacher. If it is right, how many people said it?
:29:22. > :29:29.Ooh! An incorrect answer. Will and Matt, you've won that question.
:29:30. > :29:32.After two questions, it's one apiece. Richard. Ralf Schumacher
:29:33. > :29:38.left Formula One in 2008. Let's look at all the answers here.
:29:38. > :29:40.Hulkenberg would have scored one. Nick Heidfeld and Adrian Sutil, two.

:29:52. > :29:55.through to the final and will be playing for that �8,500 jackpot.
:29:55. > :30:05.Here's the question. We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many
:30:05. > :30:05.
:30:05. > :30:08.Richard. We're looking for any of the eight novels of the character
:30:08. > :30:13.Jason Bourne, created by Robert Ludlum and played by Matt Damon on
:30:13. > :30:16.film. All the novels start with "The Bourne". There's eight of them.
:30:16. > :30:21.The first three were written by Ludlum, the others by Eric Van
:30:21. > :30:31.Lustbader. There are eight novels up to the start of 2011. Thank you.
:30:31. > :30:37.
:30:37. > :30:43.Pete and John, you go first this OK. We're going to go for the
:30:43. > :30:53.Bourne Inheritance. The Bourne Inheritance. Is that one you know?
:30:53. > :30:56.
:30:56. > :30:59.Yes. Very good. AUDIENCE LAUGHS. Will and Matt, what are you
:30:59. > :31:03.thinking? We know the three films. It's whether.... If theirs is right,
:31:03. > :31:12.then it's beating any of the three films. The question is, do we make
:31:12. > :31:14.one up? AUDIENCE LAUGHS. Or not? They all kind of follow a line.
:31:14. > :31:24.Identity, Supremacy and Ultimatum, we're disregarding those. Let's go
:31:24. > :31:27.for Killer. We'll go with The Bourne Killer. AUDIENCE LAUGHS.
:31:27. > :31:31.have The Bourne Inheritance and The Bourne Killer. Pete and John went
:31:31. > :31:41.with the Bourne Inheritance. Let's see if that's right, and if so, how
:31:41. > :31:42.
:31:42. > :31:52.many people said the Bourne The Bourne Inheritance. Why were
:31:52. > :31:55.
:31:55. > :31:58.HE LAUGHS Now, that was pure poker. That is ridiculous! It's not fair.
:31:59. > :32:02.It's a wrong answer. So, Will and Matt, that final with the jackpot
:32:03. > :32:09.�8,500. You never know! The Bourne Killer. Maybe it's right. Let's see
:32:09. > :32:19.if The Bourne Killer is a book in that series. If it is, let's see
:32:19. > :32:22.
:32:22. > :32:27.how many people said The Bourne Who knew? A great book as well.
:32:27. > :32:30.Richard. Two bits of history there. The best bluff in Pointless history
:32:30. > :32:32.from John and the worst tactical decision ever from Will and Matt,
:32:32. > :32:35.who could have said Identity, Ultimatum, Supremacy, anything and
:32:35. > :32:45.they'd be in the final. You've been outfoxed again by Take That's
:32:45. > :33:06.
:33:06. > :33:09.biggest fan, John. Let's take a Very exciting, anyway. Here is your
:33:09. > :33:14.fourth question. Whoever wins this question is through to the final.
:33:14. > :33:17.�8,500 could be riding on this. We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name
:33:17. > :33:24.as many African countries with a Mediterranean coastline as they
:33:24. > :33:26.could. Will and Matt will start. Richard. We're looking for any
:33:26. > :33:30.African country that has a coastline on the Mediterranean sea.
:33:30. > :33:40.By country we mean a UN member that's a sovereign state in its own
:33:40. > :33:47.
:33:47. > :33:57.right. That's as of the start of OK. We've only come up with one.
:33:57. > :34:00.This time we're going to say it. Yeah. Morocco. You had an
:34:01. > :34:05.opportunity to make up a country. I can't believe you didn't. Pete and
:34:05. > :34:14.John, Morocco has gone. Shall we say Algeria? We'll plump for
:34:14. > :34:24.Algeria. Will and Matt, you said How many people said Morocco? It's
:34:24. > :34:31.
:34:31. > :34:41.Pete and John have gone for Algeria. Let's see if that's right. If it is,
:34:41. > :34:59.
:35:00. > :35:02.let's see how many people said it. Well. Eventually we have a result.
:35:03. > :35:05.After four questions, Pete and John are through to the final, 2-1.
:35:06. > :35:09.Richard? There was one answer which would have beaten Algeria. There
:35:09. > :35:19.are five African countries with a Mediterranean coastline. Libya on
:35:19. > :35:21.
:35:21. > :35:24.Well done, both pairs. That was a really good head-to-head.
:35:24. > :35:30.losing pair at the end of the head- to-head, it's Will and Matt. Guys,
:35:30. > :35:37.what happened? We lost it. Bourne question! What were you
:35:37. > :35:42.thinking? We trusted them! there's any way to go out, I'm
:35:42. > :35:47.quite happy it was that. To go out memorably. It's been great having
:35:47. > :35:54.you on the show. So sorry both of you can't be in the final. That
:35:54. > :35:59.would have been hilarious. Thank you very much, Will and Matt.
:35:59. > :36:09.APPLAUSE. For Peter and John, it's time for the Pointless final and

:36:28. > :36:38.You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot. At the end of
:36:38. > :36:43.
:36:43. > :36:46.today's show the jackpot stands at To win all you have to do is find a
:36:46. > :36:49.pointless answer, one none of our 100 people could think of. We've
:36:49. > :36:52.had one pointless answer today which was yours, John. You only
:36:52. > :36:55.have to find one more pointless answer and you'll win the money.
:36:55. > :37:05.First, you have to choose a category. You can choose from these
:37:05. > :37:08.
:37:08. > :37:12.Universities could be colleges of Oxford or of Cambridge. You're
:37:12. > :37:17.naming the books by the authors to get a pointless answer. Shall we go
:37:17. > :37:20.for universities? We'll go for universities. Let's find out what
:37:21. > :37:23.that question is. Good luck. We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name
:37:23. > :37:30.as many Scottish universities as they could. Scottish universities,
:37:30. > :37:33.We're looking for any of the 20 universities or higher education
:37:33. > :37:37.institutions as listed on the University Scotland website at the
:37:37. > :37:42.beginning of 2011. OK. Thank you, Richard. You have up to one minute
:37:42. > :37:51.to come up with three answers. All you need to win is for one of those
:37:51. > :37:55.answers to be pointless. Your 60 It's obviously ones in the big
:37:55. > :38:01.towns and cities. Also ones with funny names, like, is it James
:38:01. > :38:06.Heriot or...no, Heriot-Watt? that definitely in Scotland?
:38:06. > :38:11.think I'd like to put it in if we can't get any. Heriot-Watt. Do you
:38:11. > :38:14.think it is in Scotland? I don't know. It's definitely a university,
:38:14. > :38:19.isn't it? I'm amazed there's 20 universities in Scotland. St
:38:19. > :38:26.Andrews is a tiny one. A big one. Aberdeen, there is. Glasgow.
:38:26. > :38:29.Edinburgh. St Andrews. Is that too obvious? I said that. St Andrews
:38:29. > :38:35.would be obvious. Oban, I think, has a university. That sound good.
:38:35. > :38:40.I'd like to go for that. We need really more obscure ones. Stirling.
:38:40. > :38:48.Is Oban definitely Scottish? think so and I think Stirling has
:38:48. > :38:56.got a university. Oban. And Heriot- Watt. I'd put in Heriot-Watt...
:38:56. > :38:59.Five seconds. And Stirling, unless you.... Stirling, yes? That is your
:38:59. > :39:05.minute up. Scottish universities. I now need three answers from you.
:39:05. > :39:09.Heriot-Watt, Oban and Stirling. Yes. Of those three, which do you think
:39:09. > :39:12.is your best shot at a Pointless answer? I think Oban is the most
:39:12. > :39:18.obscure. OK, Oban we'll put last. Which shall we put first? Your
:39:18. > :39:20.least likely. Stirling. Stirling, Heriot-Watt, Oban. Let's put them
:39:20. > :39:30.on the board in that order. Here they come. Stirling, Heriot-Watt,
:39:30. > :39:31.
:39:31. > :39:35.and Oban. There they are. We were You said this was your least
:39:35. > :39:40.confident answer. You only had to find one Pointless answer to win
:39:40. > :39:44.that �8,750 jackpot. Let's find out if the University of Stirling is
:39:44. > :39:54.correct. If it is, let's see how many people said it. Stirling
:39:54. > :39:55.
:39:55. > :40:02.It's right. We knew it was right. This has to go all the way down to
:40:02. > :40:10.zero if you're going to win that Eight people said Stirling. So
:40:10. > :40:17.unfortunately, that is not a Pointless answer. Only two more
:40:17. > :40:20.chances to win today's jackpot. What are you thinking, John?
:40:20. > :40:27.less sure that Heriot-Watt University is in Scotland than I
:40:27. > :40:30.was when we started. But you never know! OK, Scottish universities.
:40:30. > :40:34.Let's hope nobody said your next answer. Heriot-Watt University has
:40:34. > :40:37.to be right, has to be in Scotland and go all the way down to zero.
:40:37. > :40:46.Let's see if it's right and see how many people said Heriot-Watt
:40:46. > :40:49.It's right. It's right. It is in Scotland. We went down to eight
:40:49. > :40:59.with Stirling. Where are we going to end up with Heriot-Watt
:40:59. > :41:04.
:41:04. > :41:07.University? Down it comes. Single Well, I have to say this is all
:41:07. > :41:11.going very much in the right direction. You only have one more
:41:11. > :41:15.chance to win today's jackpot. It all rests on Oban. You said this
:41:15. > :41:19.was the answer you had the most confidence in. Oban University.
:41:19. > :41:23.This has to be right and it has to be pointless. If it's right, surely
:41:23. > :41:33.this will be going a long way down. Let's see. Oban University. Is it
:41:33. > :41:44.
:41:44. > :41:48.right? If so, how many people said Oh, that's disappointing. I thought
:41:48. > :41:51.you had plucked something brilliant out of the air, John. Unfortunately
:41:51. > :41:54.you didn't manage to find that pointless answer, so you don't win
:41:54. > :42:04.today's jackpot of �8,750, which rolls over on to the next show. You
:42:04. > :42:10.
:42:10. > :42:13.have been fantastic contestants and So, Richard, such a shame. Tough
:42:13. > :42:20.luck, guys. You played so well throughout. There are a whole bunch
:42:20. > :42:23.of pointless answers. Let's look at all of them. There's Edinburgh
:42:23. > :42:27.College of Art, Edinburgh Napier University, the Open University in
:42:27. > :42:30.Scotland. - if only that said the OBAN University in Scotland, that
:42:30. > :42:33.would have been the perfect answer. Robert Gordon University, that's in
:42:33. > :42:35.Aberdeen, the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama. The
:42:35. > :42:39.Scottish Agricultural College, which is in Edinburgh, Ayr and
:42:39. > :42:42.Aberdeen. UHI Millennium Institute, also known as the University of
:42:42. > :42:50.Highlands and Islands, and the University of the West of Scotland,
:42:50. > :42:56.which is in Ayr, Dumfries, Hamilton Very well done if you got any of
:42:56. > :42:59.Unfortunately we have to say goodbye to Pete and John. It's been
:42:59. > :43:08.brilliant having you on the show. Thank you so much for playing. Very,
:43:08. > :43:17.So, nobody's won our jackpot today, which means it rolls over on to the
