0:00:16 > 0:00:18APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Thank you. I'm Alexander Armstrong and a warm welcome to Pointless,
0:00:27 > 0:00:30the quiz show where the lowest scorers are the biggest winners.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33Let's meet today's players.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38So first we welcome Jenny and Gillian.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41You're our first pair today. How do you two know each other?
0:00:41 > 0:00:44We met at Loughborough University 27 years ago
0:00:44 > 0:00:48when we were studying librarianship and we've been friends ever since.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52- Ever since! 27 years, you've kept in touch all that time?- Yes.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55- Ever worked in the same libraries? - No.- No.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57You said that with a degree of purpose, Gillian.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00"Work in the same library as Jenny? No!"
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Jenny, what do you hope will come up?
0:01:02 > 0:01:06I hope something to do with entertainment or films.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09When I was at Loughborough, I ran the film society,
0:01:09 > 0:01:11so that's the thing I enjoy most.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13In the intervening 27 years, have you kept up with film?
0:01:13 > 0:01:17I do go to the cinema as much as possible, yes.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20- It sounds like you're going to be very good.- I don't know about that.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23There's real intent there. How about you, Gillian?
0:01:23 > 0:01:27- I'm more literature, so I'm books, really.- Literature. Very good.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31Well, who knows what will come up? Well, someone knows.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34- Yes. Very best of luck. Lovely to have you here.- Thank you.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38Next we welcome Linda and Colin, our second pair today.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42- How do you two know each other? - I met Linda 12 and a half years ago
0:01:42 > 0:01:44in our local pub
0:01:44 > 0:01:48- and I sent her a drink through... - You sent her a drink through?
0:01:48 > 0:01:52- Yes.- What did he send you through, Linda?- It was a glass of wine.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56- Were you just mortified? - No, I wasn't. No, I accepted it.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58If someone buys me some wine, I drink it.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02- So you looked through and waved into the snug.- Yeah, I did wave.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04- I thought, "Who's that strange man?" - Ah!
0:02:04 > 0:02:08- What do you do, Linda? - I work for an engineering company.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12I'm an order processing assistant and I just help out.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15And what are your interests, Linda?
0:02:15 > 0:02:19I play golf and I play darts for the ladies' local pub team.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23- How about you, Colin?- Yeah, I play darts. I captain the men's team.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27Are you a competitive couple? I think I might know the answer to this.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31- I hate losing.- Really?- Mm. I'm a good loser but I don't like it.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33You're a good loser but you hate it.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37- He won't lose to anybody, it doesn't matter how young, old...- Really?
0:02:37 > 0:02:40He did a limbo competition on holiday
0:02:40 > 0:02:43and it got down to just him and a four-year-old
0:02:43 > 0:02:50and Colin twisted his knee trying to get under about that high,
0:02:50 > 0:02:52just to beat the four-year-old.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Well, how low can you go, Colin?
0:02:56 > 0:02:59- Not that low.- We'll get some low red lines, see what you can do.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Very best of luck to the pair of you.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06And next we welcome Mark and Carl. How do you two know each other?
0:03:06 > 0:03:09We work in the same department in our local hospital
0:03:09 > 0:03:12and have done for about ten years, since Mark joined us there.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14- Which department's that? - The audiology department.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17- Sorry, which department? - The audiology department.
0:03:17 > 0:03:23Oh, that is the worst... the worst joke ever. I'm so sorry.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27Mark, when you're not testing people's ears, what do you like to do?
0:03:27 > 0:03:30Erm, I enjoy watching films,
0:03:30 > 0:03:34science fiction programmes, playing pool.
0:03:34 > 0:03:39And Carl, away from the ear, what keeps you busy and happy?
0:03:39 > 0:03:42I enjoy a bit of science fiction myself.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44I do like watching things like that
0:03:44 > 0:03:48and I follow my children around, watching their football games.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51They're both in football teams, so I enjoy doing that.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54- Very best of luck to the pair of you.- Thank you.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57Welcome back, Lindsay and Chris. You were on the last show.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01Everyone gets two chances to reach the Pointless final. Remind us how you did.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04Er, well, Chris did very well.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07Unfortunately, I was terrible because it was geography,
0:04:07 > 0:04:09so we went out in the first round
0:04:09 > 0:04:11and I'll probably never hear the end of it.
0:04:11 > 0:04:16Chris, we established last time that you're a sound engineer.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18You said you played in bands as well. Is that right?
0:04:18 > 0:04:22Yes, so when I'm not recording or setting up for bands,
0:04:22 > 0:04:23I'm playing in bands.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26- How many bands do you play in? - Far too many.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29- Three, actually, at the moment. - Three.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Lindsay, why did you apply for Pointless?
0:04:32 > 0:04:36Because I like geeky men and I have a crush on your Pointless friend.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39- So...- You have a crush on my Pointless friend.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41LAUGHTER
0:04:41 > 0:04:45She might have said that without saying, "I like geeky men."
0:04:45 > 0:04:47You know what, honestly, I'll take what I can get.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50Well, very best of luck to the pair of you.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52We'll find out more throughout the show.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54There's only one person left to introduce.
0:04:54 > 0:04:59He's never happier than when turning the pages of an encyclopaedia, looking for unusual facts.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02- He's my Pointless friend. He's Richard.- Hiya.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04Hello.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10- Good afternoon to you. - The top of the afternoon to you, sir.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13- I hope you're very well.- Do you know, I think I am.- Excellent.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17We've got three new pairs. It's a very open field.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21The only returning pair, not only did they get knocked out in round one,
0:05:21 > 0:05:24but we also have to question Lindsay's judgement, so...
0:05:24 > 0:05:27they may not be the best pair but it should be interesting.
0:05:27 > 0:05:32- Surely being a librarian is a good job for being on Pointless. - You'd have thought.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36- And it's our 150th show today. - It's... Today?- Yeah.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39- 150th.- Whoever would have thought?
0:05:39 > 0:05:41- APPLAUSE - Thank you. Thank you!
0:05:44 > 0:05:47- Well, great times, great times. - 150th. So make it a good one,
0:05:47 > 0:05:49All eight of you, make it a good show,
0:05:49 > 0:05:54so wit, sparkle, great answers, sophistication, charisma.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57Everybody OK? LAUGHTER
0:05:58 > 0:06:03- And that goes for you, as well. Try charisma.- I'll try charisma.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Now, then... Thank you, Richard.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09We put all our questions to 100 people before the show
0:06:09 > 0:06:12and we are after the obscure answers that they didn't get.
0:06:12 > 0:06:17What everyone's trying to do is find at pointless answer, an answer that none of 100 people gave
0:06:17 > 0:06:19and when that happens, we add £250 to the jackpot.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23Nobody won the jackpot last time, so we add another £1,000 to that,
0:06:23 > 0:06:29- so today's jackpot starts off at an unbelievable £9,750. - APPLAUSE
0:06:29 > 0:06:31CHEERING
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Right, let's play Pointless.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42OK, in the first round, each of you must give me one answer
0:06:42 > 0:06:44and you cannot confer with your partner.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48The team with the highest score at the end of the round is eliminated.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Our first category this afternoon is...
0:06:51 > 0:06:56Anatomy. Can you decide in your pairs who's going to go first and who's going second.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01And whoever's going first please step up to the podium.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05OK, let's see the question.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:07:07 > 0:07:11to name as many muscles in the human body as they could.
0:07:11 > 0:07:16- Richard? - Yeah, there are over 600 muscles in the average human body.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20On the board in a moment, all the correct answers will be one of those.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Thanks very much.
0:07:22 > 0:07:27Right, Gillian and Jenny, you drew lots before the show and you get to go first.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Now, as Richard said, the good news is
0:07:29 > 0:07:33we're going to give you a choice of seven possible answers in each pass.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36The first set of seven answers reads like this.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58At least one of those answers is pointless
0:07:58 > 0:08:02but be very careful because at least one of those answers is incorrect.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06Pick an incorrect one and you'll score the maximum of 100 points.
0:08:06 > 0:08:07Now, then, Gillian.
0:08:07 > 0:08:13I either go for something obvious or I throw caution to the wind
0:08:13 > 0:08:15and just go for anything.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18- I'm going to play it safe.- OK.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21No, no, I'm not. I'm going to throw caution to the wind
0:08:21 > 0:08:23and say latissimus dorsi.
0:08:23 > 0:08:28Latissimus dorsi. There it is. OK. Latissimus dorsi.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32Let's see if it's right and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36It's right!
0:08:42 > 0:08:43APPLAUSE
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Very well answered, Gillian.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50Latissimus dorsi scores you two points. Richard.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Well played, Gillian.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55It's one of a pair of two large triangular muscles in the back.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58- Latissimus dorsi. - Thank you very much.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02Now, then, Colin. We're looking for muscles in the human body
0:09:02 > 0:09:06and you are trying to find the most obscure one on that board.
0:09:06 > 0:09:11- What do you think, Colin? - Well, there's two on there that I definitely know.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17There's another one that I'm pretty sure I've heard of,
0:09:17 > 0:09:20so we're going to have a stab at that
0:09:20 > 0:09:23and I'm going to go for gluteus maximus.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27Gluteus maximus is very popular. Everyone nodding.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Well, gluteus maximus, let's see if that's right
0:09:29 > 0:09:33and let's see how many people said gluteus maximus.
0:09:34 > 0:09:35It's right.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42- APPLAUSE - 23.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47Not a bad score. Your glutes, Richard.
0:09:47 > 0:09:52For some reason, all these things I find I have to say in an antipodean accent.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56The only people I ever hear talking about these are people in gyms
0:09:56 > 0:09:57and they're usually Australian.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01Your gluteus maximus, it's the largest muscle in the human body.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04It's essentially your backside.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Speak for yourself.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10Mm. Who'd have known that? Well, there we are.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14Now, then, Mark. We are looking for muscles in the human body.
0:10:15 > 0:10:16What do you think?
0:10:16 > 0:10:21OK, well, gluteus maximus, one of the ones I would have gone for, has gone.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23There are two obvious ones there.
0:10:23 > 0:10:29It's whether or not to play it safe or to plump for one and hope it's pointless.
0:10:29 > 0:10:34I think I'm going to go for masseter.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36- Masseter.- Yeah.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41- With a degree of confidence? - No, none at all. Just hopeful.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43Masseter. Let's see if that's right
0:10:43 > 0:10:47and if it is, let's see how many people said masseter.
0:10:47 > 0:10:48Good luck, Mark.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51It's right.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58- Oh, very well done, Mark. - APPLAUSE
0:11:00 > 0:11:04That's a pointless answer. It adds £250 to today's jackpot,
0:11:04 > 0:11:07taking the total up to a massive £10,000
0:11:07 > 0:11:10and it scores you nothing, Mark. Very well done.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12- Masseter, Richard.- Well done, Mark.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15It's a muscle in the cheek that helps to move the jaw.
0:11:15 > 0:11:20It's especially useful in chewing, hence to masticate.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24Very good. We're looking for muscles in the human body.
0:11:24 > 0:11:29Now, Chris. You're the last person to have this board, so talk us through your options.
0:11:29 > 0:11:34Well, I don't really know anything about muscles at all, so...
0:11:34 > 0:11:37There's a couple there that I know are definitely right,
0:11:37 > 0:11:41so I think I'll go for an obscure one that I've never heard of.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45I'll go for triangulum australe.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49Triangulum australe. Let's see if that's a correct answer
0:11:49 > 0:11:51and how people said triangulum australe.
0:11:53 > 0:11:57Oh, no, Chris! It's the one I'd have gone for, definitely.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00I'm afraid, though, it is incorrect,
0:12:00 > 0:12:03which means you score the maximum of 100 points. Bad luck.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06- Richard.- Chris, so sorry.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10The Triangulum Australe is a constellation in the southern sky.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13Let's take a look at the rest of the answers.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16Abdominals is your six pack. That would have scored you 15.
0:12:16 > 0:12:21Biceps would have scored you 50. Where are your biceps, Alexander?
0:12:21 > 0:12:24- Well, mine, here. - Where are one's biceps?
0:12:24 > 0:12:26- Here.- In the arm.- There, there. - Where else are they?
0:12:26 > 0:12:29- Where else? Oh, maybe they're there, as well.- They are.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32You've got biceps in your leg, as well. Absolutely right.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36And teres minor, well done if you said that because it's a pointless answer.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39It helps with the moving of the arm. The teres minor.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43So two pointless answers up there and we got one of them with masseter.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45OK, thanks, Richard.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49We're halfway through the round and it's a very broad field.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53On no points at all, Mark and Carl, looking very, very strong.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56Just up from them, Gillian and Jenny on 2 points.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00Then we go up to 23, Colin and Linda,
0:13:00 > 0:13:03and then way, way at the front of the field,
0:13:03 > 0:13:06Chris and Lindsay on 100 points.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09Lindsay, you have to find a pointless answer in the next pass
0:13:09 > 0:13:12and hope somebody else scores very, very high indeed.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16OK, can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:13:20 > 0:13:22OK, we're going to put seven more answers on the board.
0:13:22 > 0:13:26Remember, we are looking for muscles in the human body and here we go.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28We've got:
0:13:35 > 0:13:37I'll just read those one more time.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49There they are and again, I can tell that at least one of those is pointless
0:13:49 > 0:13:51and at least one is incorrect.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54Pick an incorrect one and you will score 100 points,
0:13:54 > 0:13:56as Chris will tell you.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00Now, then, Lindsay. Muscles.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04- Not a strong point, I have to say. - Ah! Like what you've done, there.
0:14:04 > 0:14:09I know a few up there but if we have to try and be pointless to stay in,
0:14:09 > 0:14:14I'll just guess one. Frontalis.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17Frontalis. There's no red line for you, you are the high scorers.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19You have to score as low as you possibly can.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23Let's see if frontalis is right and how many people said it.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27It's right. Very well done, Lindsay.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35- Brilliant, Lindsay! That's exactly what you had to do. - APPLAUSE
0:14:35 > 0:14:39Frontalis scores you 1 point, which takes your total up to 101.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42- Richard.- Very well played. You've kept yourselves in it.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Yeah, the frontalis is a great muscle.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47You, I think, have a very powerful frontalis.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51- Your frontalis is very, very impressive.- Mm-hm.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55- It genuinely is. - Yeah. Is it my forehead?
0:14:55 > 0:14:59It is a forehead muscle, yeah. It's how you raise your eyebrows.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03- Wow. Does it raise your hairline, as well?- You do that with your frontalis.
0:15:04 > 0:15:09- Look at my frontalis go! - That is an awesome frontalis.
0:15:09 > 0:15:13Look at that. Have you ever seen such frontalis mayhem?
0:15:13 > 0:15:16Frontalis will be making another appearance on the show
0:15:16 > 0:15:18a little bit later on.
0:15:18 > 0:15:23- Get out of here!- There will be a frontalis related question later.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28That is too exciting for words. Thank you very much indeed.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31Now, then, Carl and Mark.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Remember, we are looking for muscles in the human body.
0:15:33 > 0:15:37You are the low scorers on nothing.
0:15:37 > 0:15:38You are through to the next round.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42You can't overtake Lindsay and Chris's high score of 101.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45Bearing that in mind, Carl,
0:15:45 > 0:15:50let's see if we can't replicate Mark's excellent pointless score
0:15:50 > 0:15:52in the first pass.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55I think I'll go for one of the ones I've never heard of, the vasta.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57You're going to go for vasta.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Do you want to take a punt on where the vasta might be?
0:16:00 > 0:16:03Erm, I'm pretty sure it's not in the ear.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06I'll go for the chest - there you go. I've no idea.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09There's no red line for you, you're through whatever happens.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13Let's see if vasta is right and if it is, how many people said vasta.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16GROANS
0:16:16 > 0:16:19Bad luck, Carl. That's an incorrect answer.
0:16:19 > 0:16:23It doesn't matter but it scores you 100 points. Richard?
0:16:23 > 0:16:26The right thing to do because it would have added some money.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29A vasta is the bundle of twigs they use in a Finnish sauna,
0:16:29 > 0:16:31you know, to...
0:16:32 > 0:16:34To beat themselves.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37- Yeah. Or others.- Twigs. Or others. - Yeah.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41In a very clean, normal, Platonic way.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Now, then, Linda. You are on 23.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48The high scorers remain Lindsay and Chris on 101.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52If you can score 77 or less, you are through to the next round.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56Muscles. There is still a pointless answer on that board.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58A pointless answer will add £250 to our jackpot.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01- There's two that could be pointless. - Mm-hm?
0:17:01 > 0:17:04And there's two that I know are definitely muscles
0:17:04 > 0:17:07- but I'm going to go for pectoral. - You're going for pectoral.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09You have a red line. There it is.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13If pectoral gets you below that red line, you are through to the next round.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16Let's see if it's right and if it is, how many people said pectoral?
0:17:18 > 0:17:19Well done.
0:17:23 > 0:17:24- 17. - APPLAUSE
0:17:24 > 0:17:28That takes your score up to a nice, round 40.
0:17:28 > 0:17:33- So, Richard, your pecs.- Well done, Linda, it was astute to go for that.
0:17:33 > 0:17:37They're your chest muscles, the pectoralis major and pectoralis minor.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40We are looking for muscles in the human body.
0:17:40 > 0:17:45Now, then, Jenny, we come to you. You are on 2, a lovely low score.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47You are almost safe.
0:17:47 > 0:17:52If you can score 98 or less with this, you are through to the next round.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56Well, yes, I don't know the gracchus sentilis -
0:17:56 > 0:18:00I can't even pronounce it - or the satorius,
0:18:00 > 0:18:04which leaves me with triceps and deltoid.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08Anything to do with science has never been my strong point -
0:18:08 > 0:18:13I failed my biology O level - but I'll go for deltoid.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17Deltoid. OK. Here is your red line, lovely and high.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Let's see if deltoid can dip you down below that line
0:18:19 > 0:18:22and if it can, you are through to the next round.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25Deltoid. Is it right and how many people said it?
0:18:27 > 0:18:28Very well done.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35- APPLAUSE - Very well done, Jenny.
0:18:35 > 0:18:40That scores you 4 and takes your total to a fantastically low 6.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42- Richard.- Well done, Jenny.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46The deltoid is the large triangular sort of shoulder-pad muscle, almost.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49Deltoid. Shall we take a look through the rest of the board?
0:18:49 > 0:18:53Triceps scored 42. Where are your triceps, Alexander?
0:18:53 > 0:18:55- They're here. - And where else are they?
0:18:55 > 0:18:57- And there.- No, just in your arm. - Oh, right.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01You don't have triceps in your leg.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04I don't know why I ask you anything.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06So, sartorius and gracchus sextilius.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09One of those is pointless and one of those is incorrect.
0:19:09 > 0:19:15I think... I've a feeling I've heard of gracchus sextilius and not for anatomical reasons.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18- You're quite right. Gracchus Sextilius is a character from Asterix.- Yeah.
0:19:18 > 0:19:23So anyone saying, "Yeah, it's your gracchus sextilius playing up,"
0:19:23 > 0:19:25it's an incorrect answer.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28The sartorius is the longest muscle in the human body.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30It goes from the pelvis down to the calf
0:19:30 > 0:19:32but it is a pointless answer,
0:19:32 > 0:19:35so very well done if you said sartorius.
0:19:35 > 0:19:39At the end of round one the pair with the highest score is Lindsay and Chris.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41This wasn't meant to happen at all.
0:19:41 > 0:19:47- Over the two shows, we're even, anyway.- You are even. That's good.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50- Actually, I'm one better. - LAUGHTER
0:19:51 > 0:19:54A great shame for us because it means we have to say goodbye to you
0:19:54 > 0:19:57far too soon but it's been lovely having you on the show.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00- Thank you so much for playing. - APPLAUSE
0:20:01 > 0:20:04For the remaining three pairs, it's time for round two.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13Only two pairs can make it through to the head-to-head,
0:20:13 > 0:20:15so one team will leave us at the end of this round.
0:20:15 > 0:20:19The category for round two is...
0:20:21 > 0:20:23- Colin thrilled with that. - Absolutely.
0:20:23 > 0:20:27Can you all decide who's going to go first and who's going second?
0:20:28 > 0:20:32And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:20:34 > 0:20:38OK, our round two question this afternoon concerns...
0:20:38 > 0:20:42UK politicians and their nicknames.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46In this round, we're about to show you a list of nicknames of UK politicians.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48We asked 100 people to tell us the politicians
0:20:48 > 0:20:53with whom these nicknames are most closely associated.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56- Richard.- We're going to give you six nicknames on each pass.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59The more obscure the answer, the fewer points you score.
0:20:59 > 0:21:03An incorrect answer, the wrong person for the nickname, will score 100.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06- See how many of them you can get at home.- Thanks very much.
0:21:06 > 0:21:12We are looking for the politicians most closely associated with these nicknames and we have got...
0:21:20 > 0:21:22I'll read those one more time.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32- So, then, Gillian.- Yes. - Those are the nicknames.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34Any people springing to mind?
0:21:34 > 0:21:37Erm, some.
0:21:37 > 0:21:42I'm going to play it a bit safer, I think, and go for Doris Karloff,
0:21:42 > 0:21:44which I think is Ann Widdecombe.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47Doris Karloff, Ann Widdecombe.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49OK, well, let's see if that's right
0:21:49 > 0:21:53and if it is, let's see how many people knew Doris Karloff was Ann Widdecombe.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57It's right.
0:22:02 > 0:22:03- 15. - APPLAUSE
0:22:05 > 0:22:0815 for Doris Karloff. Richard.
0:22:08 > 0:22:12Yeah, Ann Widdecombe, back when she was a Tory MP
0:22:12 > 0:22:14and not a reality TV star.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Thank you very much, Richard.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18Now, then, Colin.
0:22:18 > 0:22:22I'll be honest. You looked a little bit disappointed with this round.
0:22:22 > 0:22:23- Just a bit.- Yeah.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26There's one there that I know for definite
0:22:26 > 0:22:31and there's another one that I think logically I can work out.
0:22:31 > 0:22:37- So I'm going to go for Two Jags... - OK, Two Jags.- ..which I believe
0:22:37 > 0:22:40will be John Prescott.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44- John Prescott.- Yes.- OK, Two Jags.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47Let's see if that's a correct answer and if it is,
0:22:47 > 0:22:50let's see how many people said John Prescott was Two Jags.
0:22:50 > 0:22:51Good luck, Colin.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54It's right.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58- Ooh, it's a big one, though. - APPLAUSE
0:22:59 > 0:23:0252 that scores you. Two Jags, Richard.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Mark and Carl will know him well.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07He's now Baron Prescott of Kingston-upon-Hull.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11He was called Two Jabs briefly, when he punched that guy.
0:23:12 > 0:23:13Now, then, Carl.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17We're looking for the politicians associated with these nicknames.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21You're the last person to have this selection of nicknames,
0:23:21 > 0:23:23so talk us through the board.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25Sunny Jim doesn't ring any bells at all.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28The Beast of Bolsover sounds familiar
0:23:28 > 0:23:30but I can't identify who it is.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34The Iron Lady, I'm fairly confident I could get that one.
0:23:34 > 0:23:39And Grand Old Man. I'm thinking about having a stab or playing safe
0:23:39 > 0:23:41and going for the one I know.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44I think I'm going to have to play safe
0:23:44 > 0:23:46and give Mark a chance in the next round
0:23:46 > 0:23:48and go Margaret Thatcher as the Iron Lady.
0:23:48 > 0:23:53- OK, and you think that's going to score less than...- Less than 100.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55Less than an incorrect answer. It may do.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58You're saying the Iron Lady was Margaret Thatcher.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01Let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07Yeah. Well, that's seven better than wrong.
0:24:08 > 0:24:1193 it scores you, the Iron Lady. Richard?
0:24:11 > 0:24:15Yeah, that nickname was first given to her by a Soviet newspaper.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19Let's take a look at the rest of these. Sunny Jim is James Callaghan,
0:24:19 > 0:24:22the former Labour prime minister. That scored 26.
0:24:22 > 0:24:27- The Beast of Bolsover is the Labour backbencher, Dennis Skinner. - Dennis Skinner.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29He's always being thrown out. 12 points.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33- And Grand Old Man - do you know that? - I think it's Gladstone.- Exactly.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36He was prime minister four times in the 1800s.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39Queen Victoria called him a "half-mad firebrand".
0:24:39 > 0:24:42Thank you, Richard. Let's take a look at the scores.
0:24:42 > 0:24:46On 15 points, Gillian and Jenny.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48Looking very, very strong contenders.
0:24:48 > 0:24:5152, a little bit ahead of them, Colin and Linda,
0:24:51 > 0:24:55and then way out in front, Carl and Mark on 93.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57Mark looking particularly vulnerable.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00You're going to have to find a really good obscure answer
0:25:00 > 0:25:01on this next pass.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05OK, can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:25:08 > 0:25:13OK, we're going to put six more nicknames on the board and we have got:
0:25:20 > 0:25:22I'll read those again.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30We are looking for the politicians associated with those nicknames
0:25:30 > 0:25:34and you want the one that the fewest of our 100 people knew. Mark.
0:25:34 > 0:25:35What are you thinking?
0:25:35 > 0:25:38I'm thinking that we're going to be going out this round
0:25:38 > 0:25:42because politics is really not my speciality.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45I'm going to have to go for Tarzan
0:25:45 > 0:25:49and I think maybe that was Paddy Ashdown.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52You're going Tarzan and you're going Paddy Ashdown.
0:25:52 > 0:25:56OK, there's no red line for you because you are the high scorers.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58Let's see if Tarzan was indeed Paddy Ashdown
0:25:58 > 0:26:01and if it was, let's see how many people said it.
0:26:03 > 0:26:07Bad luck, Mark. I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer,
0:26:07 > 0:26:10which scores you the maximum of 100 points,
0:26:10 > 0:26:12taking your total up to 193. Richard?
0:26:12 > 0:26:16Sorry, Mark. It would be a perfectly acceptable nickname for Paddy Ashdown.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20I won't tell you who it is in case Linda or Jenny want a go at that one.
0:26:20 > 0:26:24We're looking for the MPs most closely associated with these nicknames.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28OK, Linda. The good news is you are through to the next round,
0:26:28 > 0:26:31so why not have a bit of fun with this round?
0:26:31 > 0:26:33There are three, or two, I think I know
0:26:33 > 0:26:36and I'm going to just go safe with Tarzan.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39- That's Michael Heseltine. - Tarzan, Michael Heseltine.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43Let's see if that's right and if it is, let's see how many people knew that.
0:26:45 > 0:26:46It's right.
0:26:49 > 0:26:50- 41. - APPLAUSE
0:26:53 > 0:26:55It takes your total up to 93.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57- Richard.- Yeah, well done, Linda.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00He called his autobiography Life In The Jungle.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04Jenny and Gillian, you're through to the next round come what may,
0:27:04 > 0:27:07courtesy of Gillian's brilliant answer in the first pass.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09- Jenny, have a bit of fun.- Right, OK.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13Supermac, I think that's Harold Macmillan.
0:27:15 > 0:27:20Lord Cupid, I think, is Lord Adonis, but I'm not entirely sure.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24So I would be inclined to go with Red Ken for Ken Livingstone,
0:27:24 > 0:27:26because I'm more confident about that.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29I don't know who Bojo is at all.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32- So you're going to say Red Ken... - I'll say Red Ken.- Ken Livingstone.
0:27:32 > 0:27:37Despite some fantastic... I think you might have been spot on on both of those.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40Red Ken, let's see if that's right
0:27:40 > 0:27:43and if it is, how many people said Red Ken, Ken Livingstone.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48- 68, that scores you... - APPLAUSE
0:27:48 > 0:27:50..taking your total up to 83.
0:27:51 > 0:27:55- Richard?- Well played, Jenny. Red Ken, Ken Livingstone, of course.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58He ran for London mayor against Bojo, who is Boris Johnson.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00That would have scored you 22 points.
0:28:00 > 0:28:04Supermac, you're right, was Harold Macmillan.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06That would have scored 14.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09The Chingford Skinhead. Do you remember that one?
0:28:09 > 0:28:13It's what they called Norman Tebbit, Thatcher's henchman. Seven points.
0:28:13 > 0:28:17Lord Cupid, it's not Lord Adonis. It's actually a pointless answer,
0:28:17 > 0:28:21so well done at home if you said Viscount Palmerston.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24Viscount Palmerston or Lord Palmerston, a pointless answer.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26Thanks very much, Richard.
0:28:26 > 0:28:30So at the end of round two, the losing pair is Mark and Carl.
0:28:30 > 0:28:34- It was a tough round for you, this one.- Yeah, not my best.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36- Not your best.- No.- Bad luck.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39We will see you next time, when I'm sure you'll go much further.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42- Meanwhile, thanks for playing. Great contestants.- Thank you.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44APPLAUSE
0:28:46 > 0:28:50For the remaining pairs, things get even more exciting in the head-to-head.
0:28:57 > 0:29:01Well done, Jenny and Gillian, Linda and Colin. You've made it to the head-to-head.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03Only one pair can make it to the final
0:29:03 > 0:29:08and play for the jackpot, which currently stands at £10,000.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14You're going head-to-head on the best of three questions.
0:29:14 > 0:29:18For each question, each pair needs to give me one answer and you may confer.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21If your answer scores less than the other pair,
0:29:21 > 0:29:23you will win that question.
0:29:23 > 0:29:27The first pair to get to the best of three will play for today's jackpot.
0:29:27 > 0:29:30- Let's play Pointless. - APPLAUSE
0:29:33 > 0:29:36OK, here is your first question.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:29:39 > 0:29:43to name as many Roger Moore Bond films as they could.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46- Richard.- That, of course, is where the frontalis comes back in,
0:29:46 > 0:29:50He had an entire career based on the strength of his frontalis.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53- He certainly did.- Can you do a Roger Moore eyebrow raise?
0:29:56 > 0:29:57LAUGHTER
0:29:58 > 0:29:59- Good.- Yeah.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02I'm ambi-frontalis-ed.
0:30:03 > 0:30:04I can do it that way as well.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08That's Roger Moore in a mirror.
0:30:10 > 0:30:15Guys, we're looking for any of the seven films in which Roger Moore played the character James Bond.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18Which is the most obscure of those films?
0:30:18 > 0:30:21OK, Jenny and Gillian, you've played best throughout the show,
0:30:21 > 0:30:23so you get to go first.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26We're looking for Roger Moore James Bond films.
0:30:26 > 0:30:28THEY WHISPER
0:30:30 > 0:30:33- Yes?- Yes.- OK.- Yeah, OK.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36- OK?- Yeah, I think so. - We have consensus.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39We're going to go for The Man With The Golden Gun.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42The Man With The Golden Gun. OK, thank you very much.
0:30:42 > 0:30:43The Man With The Golden Gun.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46Linda and Colin, you can now talk out loud.
0:30:46 > 0:30:50- This has got to be Colin's because I don't know any of them. - Yeah.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53They've just pinched the one that I'd come up with.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56Erm... Moonraker.
0:30:56 > 0:30:57Moonraker.
0:30:57 > 0:31:01So we have The Man With The Golden Gun, we have Moonraker.
0:31:01 > 0:31:07Jenny and Gillian said The Man With The Golden Gun. Let's see how many people said that.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17- 20. - APPLAUSE
0:31:22 > 0:31:24OK, you want to get lower than 20.
0:31:24 > 0:31:28Let's see if Moonraker scores less than 20.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36- Oh! - APPLAUSE
0:31:39 > 0:31:42Bad luck. Jenny and Gillian have won that one.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44They are up one-nil. Richard.
0:31:44 > 0:31:48Yeah, three answers would have beaten The Man With The Golden Gun.
0:31:48 > 0:31:52Well done if you got any of these. There are seven answers in all.
0:31:52 > 0:31:54For Your Eyes Only with six.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56A View To A Kill with seven.
0:31:56 > 0:31:57The Spy Who Loved Me, 14.
0:31:57 > 0:31:59There's The Man With The Golden Gun, 20.
0:31:59 > 0:32:03Octopussy, 25, Moonraker is right up the top on 30
0:32:03 > 0:32:07and Live And Let Die, the most popular of all, with 38.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09Thank you very much, Richard.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11OK, here is your second question.
0:32:11 > 0:32:15Linda and Colin, you have to win this question to stay in the game.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:32:17 > 0:32:23to name as many unique-letter US states as they could. Richard?
0:32:23 > 0:32:26There are eight states that begin with a unique letter,
0:32:26 > 0:32:29that is, none of the other states begin with that letter.
0:32:29 > 0:32:34If we were looking for unique-letter countries, only Qatar begins with Q.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37So any of the eight states in America which begin with a unique letter.
0:32:37 > 0:32:41Thank you very much, Richard.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44Now, then, Linda and Colin. You get to answer first this time.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47THEY WHISPER
0:32:50 > 0:32:52- Utah.- Utah.
0:32:54 > 0:32:58Jenny and Gillian, you can now talk out loud.
0:32:58 > 0:33:02- OK.- I know it goes against every fibre of your being as librarians.
0:33:02 > 0:33:06No, no, that's a myth. Libraries are noisy places.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09Erm, we're going to try Delaware.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12Delaware. OK.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15We have Utah and we have Delaware.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17Let's see if Utah is right
0:33:17 > 0:33:21and if it is, let's see how many people said Utah.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24It's right.
0:33:28 > 0:33:31- It's a low scorer. Look at that - 14. - APPLAUSE
0:33:35 > 0:33:3714 for Utah.
0:33:37 > 0:33:42Let's see if Delaware is right and if it is, let's see how many people said Delaware.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44If you win this question, Jenny and Gillian,
0:33:44 > 0:33:48you are through to the final and you'll be playing for that £10,000 jackpot.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51It's right.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56It's close.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58Yep! You've done it. Look at that.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00APPLAUSE
0:34:03 > 0:34:06Two for Delaware.
0:34:06 > 0:34:11So after just two questions, Jenny and Gillian are through to the final, two-nil.
0:34:11 > 0:34:15- Richard.- Yes, Delaware is the best answer you could have given.
0:34:15 > 0:34:16It's a very good answer.
0:34:16 > 0:34:21I know people at home will be furiously scribbling away and trying to work out all eight of them.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24I'm going to give you three more seconds...
0:34:25 > 0:34:28And put your pens down now, please. Let's take a look at all eight.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32Delaware with two, Louisiana with three.
0:34:32 > 0:34:36Rhode Island and Pennsylvania, both four.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39Then Georgia, five, Utah, 14,
0:34:39 > 0:34:43Florida, 16 and Hawaii on 17.
0:34:43 > 0:34:47- Tough question but very good answers from both teams.- Thanks very much.
0:34:47 > 0:34:51So the losing pair at the end of the head-to-head, Linda and Colin, it's you.
0:34:51 > 0:34:55- I thought we were in with a shout, then. - I thought so, too.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58You've done fantastically well. Your first time on the show.
0:34:58 > 0:35:02We'll see you next time and I suspect you will be the team to watch.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05- Thanks very much for playing. - Thank you.- Thank you.
0:35:05 > 0:35:06APPLAUSE
0:35:08 > 0:35:10But for Jenny and Gillian it's now time for our final
0:35:10 > 0:35:13and the chance to win our jackpot of £10,000.
0:35:19 > 0:35:22Jenny and Gillian, you've fought off all the competition
0:35:22 > 0:35:26- and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy. - APPLAUSE
0:35:32 > 0:35:35You now have a chance to win our jackpot
0:35:35 > 0:35:39and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £10,000.
0:35:39 > 0:35:40WHOOPING AND APPLAUSE
0:35:43 > 0:35:47Now, to win that money, all you have to do is find a pointless answer
0:35:47 > 0:35:49that no-one else could think of.
0:35:49 > 0:35:50We had one pointless answer today.
0:35:50 > 0:35:54You only have to find one more now to go home with that money.
0:35:54 > 0:35:58First, you've got to choose a category from these three options.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07- What do you think?- Oh, goodness.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10- I don't like the sound of any of those, really.- No.
0:36:10 > 0:36:14World geography is pretty much out. Music awards you might be good at.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17I don't know. It would depend.
0:36:17 > 0:36:19- American authors?- It's hit and miss.
0:36:19 > 0:36:23It's whether they're modern or ancient.
0:36:23 > 0:36:24Do we want to go for that one?
0:36:25 > 0:36:28Well, I won't be able to help you much on music.
0:36:28 > 0:36:32- We'll go for American authors. - Go for that, then. - OK, American authors.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35OK, we gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:36:35 > 0:36:40to name as many John Steinbeck novels as they could. Richard.
0:36:40 > 0:36:44We're looking for novels written by John Steinbeck and published in his lifetime.
0:36:44 > 0:36:48We're not looking for short story collections, just novels.
0:36:48 > 0:36:49Very best of luck.
0:36:49 > 0:36:53OK, you now have up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:36:53 > 0:36:55All you need to win that £10,000 jackpot
0:36:55 > 0:36:58is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:36:58 > 0:37:00Your 60 seconds start now.
0:37:00 > 0:37:05- Of Mice And Men.- Tortilla Flat. - That sounds good.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08- I haven't heard of that. - Cup Of Gold might be one.
0:37:08 > 0:37:11I'm not sure if that's a short story. Red Pony is a short story.
0:37:11 > 0:37:16- Erm... East Of Eden.- Oh, yes, East Of Eden, that's a good one.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19- Erm...- Whatever that first one you said.- Tortilla Flat.
0:37:19 > 0:37:22- Yes, I like that. It sounds good. - I might have made that up.
0:37:22 > 0:37:27- Or it might be a short story. - I think we should go for it anyway.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29- Yes.- Erm...
0:37:29 > 0:37:35Any more? I'm afraid you've mentioned the two that I actually know, so...
0:37:35 > 0:37:40I'm struggling now because there's the three famous ones, really famous ones.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42Erm...
0:37:42 > 0:37:45- We're going to go, "Ah, yes, of course, aren't we?"- Probably.
0:37:45 > 0:37:50- So we're going to go with Tortilla Flat...- Tortilla Flat.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54- Do you want to go for East Of Eden? - East Of Eden.
0:37:54 > 0:37:57- And...- Five seconds. - ..In Dubious Battle.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00- That sounds good.- That might be one. - That sounds good.
0:38:00 > 0:38:03OK, your time is up. We were looking for John Steinbeck novels.
0:38:03 > 0:38:07It sounds like you have three answers for me. What are they?
0:38:07 > 0:38:11- In Dubious Battle. - In Dubious Battle.
0:38:11 > 0:38:17- Tortilla Flat.- Tortilla Flat. - And East Of Eden.- And East Of Eden.
0:38:17 > 0:38:18Yeah.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20OK, of those three,
0:38:20 > 0:38:24which do you think is your most confident shot at a pointless answer?
0:38:24 > 0:38:28Probably Tortilla Flat.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30Tortilla Flat. We'll put that last.
0:38:30 > 0:38:34- Which do you think is your least likely? - East Of Eden people will know.
0:38:34 > 0:38:38East Of Eden. OK, well, let's put those up on the board in that order.
0:38:43 > 0:38:44There they are.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47We were looking for John Steinbeck novels.
0:38:47 > 0:38:49This was your least confident answer.
0:38:49 > 0:38:53You only need one to be pointless to win that £10,000 jackpot.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55So let's see if East Of Eden is right
0:38:55 > 0:38:59and if it is, let's see how many people said East Of Eden.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02It's right.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04It has to go all the way down to zero, obviously,
0:39:04 > 0:39:07if you're going to walk off with that jackpot.
0:39:07 > 0:39:11This will show us how much our 100 people know
0:39:11 > 0:39:12- about John Steinbeck. - APPLAUSE
0:39:12 > 0:39:14- Not bad.- There we are. 12.
0:39:17 > 0:39:2012 for East Of Eden. Do you think that's a sort of fair number?
0:39:20 > 0:39:24- I thought more people would know that. - It's reassuring, isn't it?
0:39:24 > 0:39:28- Well, not a pointless answer but you weren't expecting it to be.- No.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30You only have two more chances to win today's jackpot.
0:39:30 > 0:39:34£10,000. What will you do with £10,000?
0:39:34 > 0:39:38- Some home decorating.- Yes. I think we'd both do that.
0:39:38 > 0:39:40I'd do some stuff with my garden, as well.
0:39:40 > 0:39:45And treat a few people - go out for a meal or something.
0:39:45 > 0:39:46Very good.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48We are looking for John Steinbeck novels.
0:39:48 > 0:39:52Your next answer, In Dubious Battle.
0:39:52 > 0:39:57You weren't entirely sure if this was a short story or a novel.
0:39:57 > 0:39:59Or even by John Steinbeck.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04- Or anybody. - Or even by John Steinbeck.
0:40:04 > 0:40:07This has to be correct and it has to be pointless to win that jackpot.
0:40:07 > 0:40:13In Dubious Battle. Is it right and if it is, how many people said it?
0:40:14 > 0:40:19It's right! Very well done.
0:40:19 > 0:40:21OK, East Of Eden went down to 12.
0:40:21 > 0:40:24In Dubious Battle is heading down that way.
0:40:24 > 0:40:27And down it goes. It's still going.
0:40:27 > 0:40:28- Oh! - AUDIENCE GROANS
0:40:28 > 0:40:30APPLAUSE
0:40:35 > 0:40:40- Oh! One person said In Dubious Battle.- Who is that person?
0:40:40 > 0:40:45- We want their number. - Oh, dear, oh, dear.
0:40:45 > 0:40:48So you only have one more chance to win today's jackpot.
0:40:48 > 0:40:50How are you feeling now?
0:40:50 > 0:40:54Not good because that person probably knew Tortilla Flat as well,
0:40:54 > 0:40:56if that is a novel rather than a short story.
0:40:56 > 0:41:00We're looking for John Steinbeck novels. This is your last chance.
0:41:00 > 0:41:01Tortilla Flat.
0:41:01 > 0:41:05This was the one you were most confident in.
0:41:05 > 0:41:09This has to be pointless, it has to be correct, for you to win that £10,000.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12Tortilla Flat. Let's see if it's a right answer
0:41:12 > 0:41:16and if it is, let's see how many people said Tortilla Flat.
0:41:16 > 0:41:18Very, very best of luck.
0:41:19 > 0:41:21It's a novel!
0:41:22 > 0:41:25Tortilla Flat was the one you had the most faith in.
0:41:27 > 0:41:29In Dubious Battle went down to one.
0:41:29 > 0:41:31Will this go down any further? Down it goes...
0:41:31 > 0:41:33- Oh, no! - GROANING AND APPLAUSE
0:41:33 > 0:41:37- Oh, no!- Oh, no!
0:41:41 > 0:41:43Oh, dear, oh, dear.
0:41:45 > 0:41:47Oh, bad luck, bad luck.
0:41:47 > 0:41:50I was convinced that was going to be pointless.
0:41:50 > 0:41:53You didn't find that all-important pointless answer,
0:41:53 > 0:41:55so you don't win the jackpot of £10,000,
0:41:55 > 0:41:57which rolls over onto the next show.
0:41:57 > 0:42:01You have been fantastic contestants and you do take home our trophy.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03- So, well done for that.- Thank you. - APPLAUSE
0:42:07 > 0:42:10- So, then, Richard. - That's terribly unlucky.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13Very, very close to that £10,000.
0:42:13 > 0:42:17While you were deliberating and you knew East Of Eden wouldn't be pointless,
0:42:17 > 0:42:20- but you did say Cup Of Gold...- I know!- ..while you were deliberating.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23- If you had just said Cup Of Gold... - Yeah.
0:42:23 > 0:42:26- ..you'd have had three one-point answers.- Oh!
0:42:26 > 0:42:27That was one as well.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30- That's sort of a relief, isn't it? - Yes.
0:42:30 > 0:42:32Let's look at the pointless ones.
0:42:32 > 0:42:35There's the follow-up to Cannery Row, Sweet Thursday.
0:42:35 > 0:42:37The Moon Is Down, which was wartime propaganda.
0:42:37 > 0:42:41To A God Unknown, his second novel. All those were pointless.
0:42:41 > 0:42:42The Wayward Bus was pointless.
0:42:42 > 0:42:48His weird sort of foray into French political satire, The Short Reign Of Pippin IV, that was pointless.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51And his final novel, The Winter Of Our Discontent, was also pointless.
0:42:51 > 0:42:55- I hope you don't recognise any of those.- A couple, yes.- Yeah.
0:42:55 > 0:42:59Well, we do have to say goodbye to you, Jenny and Gillian.
0:42:59 > 0:43:02- It's been great having you on. Thank you for playing.- Thank you.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04APPLAUSE
0:43:04 > 0:43:08So nobody has won our jackpot today, which means it rolls over onto the next show
0:43:08 > 0:43:11when we will be playing for £11,000.
0:43:11 > 0:43:13CHEERING
0:43:15 > 0:43:16Join us to see if someone can win it.
0:43:16 > 0:43:20- It's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye. - And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
