0:00:24 > 0:00:27Thank you. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong.
0:00:27 > 0:00:33A warm welcome to Pointless, where the lowest scorers are the biggest winners. Let's meet the players.
0:00:36 > 0:00:42So first we welcome Imogen and Imelda. You're our first pair. How do you two know each other?
0:00:42 > 0:00:50- We work with one another. For about a year now. - For a year.- I'm Imogen's PA.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54- Imelda, where do you come from? - Birmingham.- What are you hoping for?
0:00:54 > 0:00:59I like music, musical theatre especially. I go to a lot of gigs,
0:00:59 > 0:01:02so I'm quite good at music.
0:01:02 > 0:01:07- What's been your favourite gig? - Lenny Kravitz was very good. He gave me his towel.
0:01:07 > 0:01:12- Did you have to fight for it? - Yes. Well...I'm able.
0:01:12 > 0:01:18- Imogen, what would you like to come up this afternoon?- Er... Anything to do with The Archers.
0:01:18 > 0:01:23- Anything else?- Ballets. - Archers and ballets? Very good.
0:01:23 > 0:01:28Let's see what we serve up for you. Very best of luck. Great to have you on the show.
0:01:28 > 0:01:34Next we welcome back Mark and Carl. This is your second show. Everyone gets two chances.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38This is your final opportunity to make it to the Pointless final.
0:01:38 > 0:01:43Mark, you found a pointless answer on the last show. The masseter!
0:01:43 > 0:01:48- Fantastic!- I think more by luck than judgment.- Who cares?
0:01:50 > 0:01:55It was a great answer. Carl, how are you going to stun us today?
0:01:55 > 0:01:59- Sport, maybe a bit of history. - A bit of history.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02Which particular area of history?
0:02:02 > 0:02:07- I suppose more English kings and queens would be best.- Very good.
0:02:07 > 0:02:12OK, well, let's keep our fingers crossed. Best of luck to you.
0:02:12 > 0:02:17Next we welcome back Linda and Colin. Remind us how you did.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21- We got to the Head to Head. - You did brilliantly.
0:02:21 > 0:02:27- Colin, what would you like to come up?- Em, science fiction stuff. Films, books, fantasy books.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31- Anything like that. And sport. - Sport. Linda?
0:02:31 > 0:02:35Mm, food and drink, maybe, UK geography, TV.
0:02:35 > 0:02:41Well, very best of luck. And, finally, Lynn and Neil. How do you two know each other?
0:02:41 > 0:02:45Well, I... He's my son. So I've known him for quite a long time.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48- LAUGHTER - Where are you from, Neil?
0:02:48 > 0:02:54- From South Wales, originally, but we live in Worcester.- And what do you do?- We work together.
0:02:54 > 0:03:01- That sounds like a powderkeg. Father and son working... - It has been a powderkeg. It has.
0:03:01 > 0:03:07- What do you work together doing? - We sell business contracts for mobile phones.
0:03:07 > 0:03:12How is he, Lynn? Is he good? Everything a father might hope for?
0:03:12 > 0:03:18He's very good. The trouble is he thinks he knows it all and I DO know it all.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21- You don't.- I do.- No, you don't.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27- LAUGHTER - Well, very best of luck to you.
0:03:27 > 0:03:34We'll find out more throughout the show. There's only one person to introduce. My Pointless friend,
0:03:34 > 0:03:37- Richard.- Hiya.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39APPLAUSE
0:03:42 > 0:03:47- Hello there.- Hello there, sir. - What a line-up!- What a line-up!
0:03:47 > 0:03:53Two returning pairs. We didn't see the best of Mark and Carl. Linda and Colin got to the Head to Head.
0:03:53 > 0:04:00Every once in a while we have to congratulate a contestant for his shirt and I say that to Colin.
0:04:01 > 0:04:06- I'm going to second that. - You're already a winner.- You are.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08OK, thanks very much, Richard.
0:04:08 > 0:04:16We put all our questions to 100 people before the show, but we want the obscure answers they didn't get.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20Everyone wants a pointless answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23Each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:04:23 > 0:04:28Nobody won the jackpot, which means we add another £1,000 to that.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32So today's jackpot starts off at £11,000!
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Right, let's play Pointless.
0:04:44 > 0:04:50In the first round, each of you must give me one answer and you cannot confer with your partner.
0:04:50 > 0:04:56Whichever team has the highest score is eliminated. Be very careful that's not you.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00An incorrect answer scores the maximum 100 points.
0:05:00 > 0:05:05OK, our first category this afternoon is...Movie Stars.
0:05:05 > 0:05:12Movie Stars. Can you all decide who is going to go first and who will go second?
0:05:12 > 0:05:17Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22OK, let's find out what the first question is.
0:05:22 > 0:05:29We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many Al Pacino films as they could.
0:05:29 > 0:05:36- Al Pacino films. Richard? - Any feature film for cinema release made prior to the start of 2011
0:05:36 > 0:05:42for which Al Pacino receives an acting credit. We won't accept TV films or short films
0:05:42 > 0:05:47or things where he plays himself, but voice performances do count.
0:05:47 > 0:05:53OK, thank you very much. Imogen and Imelda, you all drew lots before the show
0:05:53 > 0:05:57and today you get to go first. Al Pacino films, Imelda.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01I'm trying to think. There's so many.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05I think he did one called Sea of Love.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Sea of Love.
0:06:08 > 0:06:16You are hoping to score as few points as possible. Is that correct and how many of our people said it?
0:06:18 > 0:06:20It's right. Well done.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Look at that, Imelda!
0:06:26 > 0:06:28APPLAUSE
0:06:31 > 0:06:35Very, very well done. A superb answer. It scores one point.
0:06:35 > 0:06:41- Sea of Love, Richard. - Yes, very well played. From 1989. He's a cop after a serial killer.
0:06:41 > 0:06:48Thanks, Richard. Now then, Mark, we are looking for a nice, obscure Al Pacino film.
0:06:48 > 0:06:54- I feel you might be quite good on this.- I would have thought so, but my mind is going blank.
0:06:54 > 0:06:59I'll go for one that is relatively obscure - I hope.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01I think I'm going to go for Heat.
0:07:01 > 0:07:07You're going to go for Heat. Let's see if it's right and how many people said Heat.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Well done.
0:07:15 > 0:07:20Seven points for Heat. Very well done.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24- Nice, low score there. Heat. - Good answer, quite a low score.
0:07:24 > 0:07:30- Al Pacino and Robert De Niro in Michael Mann's film from 1995. - Thanks very much, Richard.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34Colin. Remember, we're looking for Al Pacino films.
0:07:34 > 0:07:39I have a feeling he was in The Godfather.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43OK, you're going to say The Godfather.
0:07:43 > 0:07:48You want as few points as possible. The Godfather. Is he in it?
0:07:48 > 0:07:52Let's find out and how many people said it.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01Oh, it's a big one there, Colin, but it's right.
0:08:02 > 0:08:10- And it's a great film. 45 points. - Big score. He plays Michael Corleone in 1972's The Godfather.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Splendid. Now then, Neil.
0:08:13 > 0:08:20OK, I'm going to go for... one that was a stage play, I think, and I think he was in the film.
0:08:20 > 0:08:26- It's called Glengarry Glen Ross. - Very, very good indeed. Yes, great film.
0:08:26 > 0:08:32You are hoping to score as few as possible. I think that's an excellent answer. Is it right
0:08:32 > 0:08:34and how many people said it?
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Well done.
0:08:43 > 0:08:50Very, very strong answer there! Wonderful. Glengarry Glen Ross scoring you just the one point.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54Earning you a pat on the shoulder from Lynn as well. Richard?
0:08:54 > 0:08:58Yeah, wonderful film, with Jack Lemmon, Alec Baldwin,
0:08:58 > 0:09:02Kevin Spacey. A brilliant film.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05He was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for that.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09OK, we're halfway through the round so let's look at the scores.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13On one point, Imelda and Imogen, Neil and Lynn.
0:09:13 > 0:09:19Looking very strong indeed. Not very far ahead on seven - Mark and Carl.
0:09:19 > 0:09:25Colin, 45. That was an expensive guess, The Godfather. It was right, but expensive.
0:09:25 > 0:09:30So, Linda, the pressure is on you in the next pass. Very good luck.
0:09:30 > 0:09:35OK, can the second players please take their places on the podium?
0:09:36 > 0:09:42OK, we are looking for Al Pacino films. Lynn, you are on one.
0:09:42 > 0:09:48Excellent low score from Neil. Linda and Colin are the high scorers on 45.
0:09:48 > 0:09:54If you can score 43 or less, you are assured of a place in the next round.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58- I'm going to go for Dog Day Afternoon.- Dog Day Afternoon.
0:09:58 > 0:10:03There is your red line. Below that and you are through, Lynn.
0:10:03 > 0:10:08Let's see if it's right and how many people said it.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12It's right.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14You are through to the next round.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20That's a wonderful answer, Lynn. Very, very well done.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24It scores four and brings you to a brilliantly low five. Richard?
0:10:24 > 0:10:29- Terrific answer, terrific film. - Now then, Linda.
0:10:29 > 0:10:35You are the high scorers on 45. You are going to have to answer as obscurely as you possibly can.
0:10:35 > 0:10:40- Al Pacino films.- I think we're not getting to the Head to Head today!
0:10:40 > 0:10:46The only Al Pacino film I can think of, I don't even know if he was in it, is Raging Bull.
0:10:46 > 0:10:50- I don't know.- OK, Raging Bull. You are the high scorers on 45,
0:10:50 > 0:10:56so no red line for you. Just hope it's right and goes down far.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59Let's see if it is right and how many people said it.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Oh, bad luck!
0:11:04 > 0:11:10Unfortunately, that is an incorrect answer which means you score the maximum of 100 points.
0:11:10 > 0:11:15That takes your total up to an unbeatable 145. Sorry, Linda.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19- Richard?- Sorry, Linda. It's Robert De Niro in there.- Yeah.
0:11:19 > 0:11:25- But no Al Pacino. - Carl, you are through to the next round come what may.
0:11:25 > 0:11:31However, how cool would it be if you dug out a pointless answer?
0:11:31 > 0:11:39I'm struggling for something obscure. I might just have to go for... I'll have to go for Scent Of A Woman.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42- It's not obscure.- Scent Of A Woman.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Is it right and how many said it?
0:11:46 > 0:11:49There we are. It's right.
0:11:52 > 0:11:5815 - not a bad score at all for you, Carl. That takes you to 22.
0:11:58 > 0:12:06- Scent Of A Woman, Richard?- Well played. He won an Oscar, in the same year as Glengarry Glen Ross.
0:12:06 > 0:12:11OK, now we come to you, Imogen. Imelda scored a fantastic one.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15The high scorers, I'm afraid unbeatably high,
0:12:15 > 0:12:21are Linda and Colin. So you have free rein.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25Em, I'm not a big fan of Al Pacino, unfortunately,
0:12:25 > 0:12:31but I think he was in a cartoon. I'm not 100% sure, but I'll go for it - Shark Tale.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33- Shark Tale?- Yeah.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39Very good. Shark Tale. No red line. You are through.
0:12:39 > 0:12:44Let's see if it's right and how many people said Shark Tale.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Ohh!
0:12:49 > 0:12:55Bad luck, but it doesn't matter. Shark Tale is an incorrect answer, scoring you a maximum 100 points,
0:12:55 > 0:12:58taking your total up to 101.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02- Richard? - De Niro again in Shark Tale.
0:13:02 > 0:13:06But a perfectly good guess trying for a pointless answer.
0:13:06 > 0:13:11Let's look at some pointless answers. Righteous Kill, where he acted with Robert De Niro,
0:13:11 > 0:13:15The Insider, the film about the tobacco industry.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19He was in Dick Tracy with Warren Beatty and Madonna.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23Unlike a Madonna film to be pointless!
0:13:23 > 0:13:31Two For The Money, 88 Minutes - he plays a forensic psychologist with 88 minutes to live.
0:13:31 > 0:13:38It plays out in real time. And People I Know he was also in. All of those were pointless answers.
0:13:38 > 0:13:43- What were the worst ones?- The ones most of our 100 people said.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47We've had a couple. Scent Of A Woman with 15 was the third most popular,
0:13:47 > 0:13:51Scarface 26 and Colin gave us the top answer,
0:13:51 > 0:13:56which was The Godfather and 45.
0:13:56 > 0:14:01OK, thanks very much. So the losing pair with the highest score,
0:14:01 > 0:14:07- I'm afraid it's Linda and Colin. - It's not mine.- Al Pacino is not my favourite.
0:14:07 > 0:14:14Well, there we are. You've shown how well you can do and you've been excellent contestants. Thank you.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17APPLAUSE
0:14:17 > 0:14:21For the remaining three pairs, it's time for Round Two.
0:14:27 > 0:14:33Only two pairs can make it through to the Head to Head, so one team will leave at the end of this round.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36The category for Round Two is...
0:14:37 > 0:14:38Art.
0:14:38 > 0:14:44Art. Can you all decide in your pairs who is going to go first and who's going to go second?
0:14:44 > 0:14:48And whoever's going first please step up to the podium.
0:14:49 > 0:14:54OK, so our Round Two question concerns...
0:14:54 > 0:14:59..artists and their countries of birth.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03In this round, we're about to show you a list of artists.
0:15:03 > 0:15:08We asked 100 people to tell us in which country each was born.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12- Richard?- We'll show you six artists in each pass.
0:15:12 > 0:15:17If you give us an incorrect answer, you'll score 100 points.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21Countries means a sovereign state that's a UN member in its own right.
0:15:21 > 0:15:27OK. So we are looking for the country in which each of these artists was born.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29And we have got...
0:15:31 > 0:15:33HE READS LIST
0:15:40 > 0:15:42I'll read those one more time.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54OK, so there are the artists.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58You need to give me the country of their birth.
0:15:58 > 0:16:05- You want the most obscure answer. So, Imogen, is this a good subject for you?- No.
0:16:06 > 0:16:13- In a word.- Is it a disaster or is it something...- Looking at those names, it's a disaster!
0:16:14 > 0:16:17- I might have to go really safe.- Hmm.
0:16:17 > 0:16:18Em...
0:16:20 > 0:16:26- OK, Andy Warhol, USA. - Andy Warhol, USA. That's what you're going to say.
0:16:26 > 0:16:31Let's see if that's right and how many people knew that. Andy Warhol, USA.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34It's right.
0:16:37 > 0:16:3944 that scores you.
0:16:41 > 0:16:46- Andy Warhol, Richard.- Yeah, and you've got to go for a safe one.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49It's much better to get 44 than 100.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51OK. Thank you very much.
0:16:51 > 0:16:57By picking that off, you might well tactically have done yourself a favour.
0:16:57 > 0:17:02You removed one of the more obvious names from the board.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05Yes, Carl, you won't thank Imogen for that.
0:17:05 > 0:17:11It is one of the more obvious ones. I think there's a couple that are obvious
0:17:11 > 0:17:15and a couple that might need a bit of a guess.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17I'll go for a little guess.
0:17:17 > 0:17:21I'm going to go for Henri Matisse. I'll go for French.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24Henri Matisse, France, you're going to say.
0:17:24 > 0:17:30Let's see if that's right and how many people knew that. Henri Matisse, France.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Very well done.
0:17:37 > 0:17:4047. Not a bad score.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45Not a bad score. Henri Matisse, Richard.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49One of the most influential painters of all time.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52Thank you very much. Now then, Neil.
0:17:52 > 0:17:58Luckily, we come to somebody who knows his artists from his elbow, at the end.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01- Not really, no.- Ah.
0:18:01 > 0:18:07I know where Leonardo Da Vinci comes from, but that's going to be quite high, I think.
0:18:07 > 0:18:11Wassily Kandinsky... I might guess at Russian.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17I think I have to play it safe and go Leonardo Da Vinci, Italian.
0:18:17 > 0:18:23Leonardo Da Vinci, Italian. Let's see if that's right
0:18:23 > 0:18:25and how many people knew that.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32Oh! That's an expensive...
0:18:34 > 0:18:38An expensive safety shot, Neil.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41Leonardo Da Vinci was Italian, but 81 people knew that.
0:18:41 > 0:18:46- Richard?- Very big score, but again it's better than 100.
0:18:46 > 0:18:52Let's take a look at the rest of the board. Hans Holbein the Younger is from Germany.
0:18:52 > 0:18:5822 points that would have scored. Wassily Kandinsky is Russian. It would have scored you 26 points.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01And Piet Mondrian. Do you know him?
0:19:03 > 0:19:10- Dutch?- He is Dutch, exactly. It's the best answer, with 5 points. Well done if you got Piet Mondrian.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14Let's take a look at the scores. 44, Imogen and Imelda.
0:19:15 > 0:19:19Then up to to 47 for Carl and Mark for Henri Matisse.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22Neil and Lynn way ahead on 81.
0:19:22 > 0:19:27Lynn, you'll have to try to score as low as you possibly can on the next pass.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:19:33 > 0:19:37OK, we'll put six more artists on the board. Here they come.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40HE READS LIST
0:19:47 > 0:19:49READS IT AGAIN
0:19:55 > 0:20:01Now we are looking for the country each of these artists was born in.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05And you want the one the fewest people knew. Now then, Lynn,
0:20:05 > 0:20:10- what are you thinking about this selection of artists?- Well, I know
0:20:10 > 0:20:16where three of them are from, but so does probably another 100 people, so that's no good.
0:20:16 > 0:20:20I'll have to take a gamble. I need a low, low score.
0:20:20 > 0:20:26I'm going to go with Edvard Munch and I'm going to say he's Swiss.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29Edvard Munch, Swiss, you are saying.
0:20:29 > 0:20:34You're the high scorers, so there's no red line. Edvard Munch, Swiss.
0:20:34 > 0:20:38Let's see if that's right and how many said it.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42Ohh!
0:20:42 > 0:20:46Bad luck. Bad luck. I'm afraid that's incorrect,
0:20:46 > 0:20:48so you score the maximum 100 points,
0:20:48 > 0:20:52taking your total up to an unbeatable 181.
0:20:52 > 0:20:58- Richard?- Yes, tough luck, Lynn. I won't give you the answer just now in case the others want it.
0:20:58 > 0:21:03OK, thank you very much. Mark, you are through, whatever happens.
0:21:03 > 0:21:10- So why not have some fun with this board?- Obviously, there are a couple that I hope I know.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14So I'll have to go for one of the others to build up the cash pot.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18I think I'll go for Edvard Munch and try Germany.
0:21:18 > 0:21:24Edvard Munch, Germany. Let's see if that's right and how many said it. Edvard Munch.
0:21:26 > 0:21:27No!
0:21:29 > 0:21:35Unfortunately, also a wrong answer. It scores you a maximum 100 points,
0:21:35 > 0:21:41- taking you to 147. You're through. Richard?- Not Germany. Somewhere, an art historian is going...
0:21:41 > 0:21:43LAUGHTER
0:21:46 > 0:21:52So we come to you, Imelda. You are on 44, you can say what you like.
0:21:52 > 0:21:59- Even if you score 100 points, you are still in the Head to Head. - I think Salvador Dali is Spanish
0:21:59 > 0:22:02and Claude Monet is French.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06But I think I'm going to go with Frida Kahlo
0:22:06 > 0:22:09and say Spain.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13OK. Frida Kahlo, Spain, you are saying.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16Imogen shaking her head at that.
0:22:17 > 0:22:23- I think she's from Mexico. - OK, well, let's see if that's right, Frida Kahlo, Spain,
0:22:23 > 0:22:26and how many people said it.
0:22:28 > 0:22:33There we are. It's not right. I think, as Imogen said, she is Mexican.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36We'll discover in a moment.
0:22:36 > 0:22:41That scores the maximum 100 points, giving a total of 144, but you're through.
0:22:41 > 0:22:46- Richard?- I don't think we've had to fill in a whole board before.
0:22:46 > 0:22:47LAUGHTER
0:22:47 > 0:22:50So let's look at the whole board.
0:22:50 > 0:22:55There's Frida Kahlo. Absolutely right, Mexico. It scored 10 points.
0:22:55 > 0:23:00Claude Monet, French. Absolutely right. 75 points.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04Salvador Dali is Spanish. Right again. 43 points.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06Vincent Van Gogh...
0:23:06 > 0:23:11..is Dutch. He would have scored you 42 points.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13Now, Edvard.
0:23:14 > 0:23:21We know a lot of places he's not from. There are three or four countries we haven't guessed.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25Edvard Munch is Norwegian. 12 points.
0:23:25 > 0:23:31And Klimt. His paintings sell for more than virtually anybody now, but where's he from?
0:23:33 > 0:23:37Um...I would like to say sort of Hungary, Austria... One of those.
0:23:37 > 0:23:43- Yeah?- Austria. It would have scored 6 points. Very famous painter,
0:23:43 > 0:23:47but the best answer on the board. Well done if you knew it.
0:23:47 > 0:23:53OK, thanks, Richard. So at the end of Round Two, the losing pair is Lynn and Neil.
0:23:53 > 0:23:59- Bad luck, bad luck. It was a tough category, that one, wasn't it?- It was, yeah.
0:23:59 > 0:24:05We'll see you again next time. You've been excellent contestants. Thanks so much for playing.
0:24:07 > 0:24:14For the remaining two pairs, things get even more exciting as we enter the Head to Head.
0:24:18 > 0:24:23Very well done. Mark and Carl, Imogen and Imelda, you've made it.
0:24:23 > 0:24:30Only one pair can make it to the final to play for the jackpot, which currently stands at £11,000.
0:24:33 > 0:24:38You're nearly there. You're going Head to Head on three questions.
0:24:38 > 0:24:44For each question, each pair gives me one answer and you are now allowed to confer.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47Just score less than the other pair to win that question.
0:24:47 > 0:24:52The pair that's first to the best of three will play for today's jackpot.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55OK, let's play Pointless.
0:24:58 > 0:25:04Here is your first question. We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:25:04 > 0:25:08to name as many Andrew Lloyd Webber talent show winners as they could.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12Andrew Lloyd Webber talent show winners. Richard?
0:25:12 > 0:25:18We're looking for any human or animal who have won an Andrew Lloyd Webber talent show contest
0:25:18 > 0:25:21on the BBC between 2006 and the start of 2011.
0:25:21 > 0:25:27How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria?, Any Dream Will Do, Over The Rainbow and I'd Do Anything.
0:25:27 > 0:25:31Any of the winners of those shows, please. First names are allowed.
0:25:31 > 0:25:37OK. Mark and Carl, you've played best so far, so you get to go first.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41Andrew Lloyd Webber talent show winners.
0:25:47 > 0:25:53We have to... After much discussion, we've decided we can only come up with one.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55I think it's Lee Mead.
0:25:55 > 0:26:00- Lee Mead.- Yeah.- OK. You're going to say Lee Mead.- I think.
0:26:00 > 0:26:06- Imogen and Imelda, you can discuss out loud. - Connie Fisher won the first one,
0:26:06 > 0:26:10there was Lee Mead, Danielle Hope just won The Wizard of Oz,
0:26:10 > 0:26:17Jodie Prenger, Any Dream Will Do. Jodie Prenger won Any Dream Will Do.
0:26:17 > 0:26:23- I'm going to go with Danielle Hope. Is that OK?- That's amazing! - It is amazing.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27OK, so we have Lee Mead and Danielle Hope.
0:26:27 > 0:26:32Mark and Carl, Lee Mead. Let's see if it's right and how many said it.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36Well done, it's right.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42Down it comes to 17.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44That's a great score.
0:26:46 > 0:26:4817 for Lee Mead.
0:26:48 > 0:26:55- So, Imelda, what do you think? Forgive me...- I don't know if I've picked the right one now.
0:26:55 > 0:27:00I think the shows were more popular at the earlier stages.
0:27:02 > 0:27:06- OK, well, you've gone for Danielle Hope.- Yeah.
0:27:06 > 0:27:10Let's see if it's right and how many people said it.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14It's right.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21Well done! Look at that! Oh, down to 2!
0:27:23 > 0:27:27Danielle Hope scoring only two there. Wow.
0:27:27 > 0:27:31So it's one-nil to Imogen and Imelda.
0:27:31 > 0:27:36- Richard?- Yeah, well done, Imelda. Four answers would have beaten it -
0:27:36 > 0:27:40the three boys chosen to play Oliver and the dog chosen to play Toto.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43Let's take a look at those answers.
0:27:43 > 0:27:49Gwion Jones, Harry Stott and Laurence Jeffcoate won the right to play Oliver.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52Dangerous Dave was the Mini Schnauzer. Let's see the others.
0:27:52 > 0:27:56Danielle Hope on two. She played Dorothy.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58Connie Fisher, Maria, on seven.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00Jodie Prenger, who was Nancy, 10.
0:28:00 > 0:28:04And Lee Mead, who played Joseph, on 17.
0:28:04 > 0:28:08Thanks, Richard. Here is your second question.
0:28:08 > 0:28:15Imogen and Imelda, win this one and you are straight through to the final to play for £11,000.
0:28:15 > 0:28:19Mark and Carl, you have to win this question to stay in the game.
0:28:19 > 0:28:27Here it comes. We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many Newcastle United managers
0:28:27 > 0:28:31as they could. Newcastle United managers. Richard?
0:28:31 > 0:28:35Any of the 17 men who have managed Newcastle United from 1990
0:28:35 > 0:28:42- through to the beginning of 2011. - OK, Imogen and Imelda, you go first this time.
0:28:45 > 0:28:46OK.
0:28:46 > 0:28:51- OK. We have an answer? - We're going to go with Kevin Keegan.
0:28:51 > 0:28:55OK. You're going with Kevin Keegan. Very good.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58Mark and Carl, they have said Kevin Keegan.
0:28:58 > 0:29:02- Shall we go for Ruud Gullit? - When was it Ruud Gullit?
0:29:02 > 0:29:08- Chris Hughton? It was after Keegan. He dropped Shearer, didn't he? - Ruud Gullit, go on.
0:29:08 > 0:29:13- We'll go for Ruud Gullit. - Ruud Gullit?- Ruud Gullit.- OK.
0:29:13 > 0:29:18We have Kevin Keegan and Ruud Gullit. Imogen and Imelda, you have said Kevin Keegan.
0:29:18 > 0:29:22Let's see if it's right and how many people said it.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30Oh, yes.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33Not surprisingly
0:29:33 > 0:29:35a popular answer.
0:29:35 > 0:29:42Mark and Carl have gone for Ruud Gullit. Let's see if it's right and how many people said Ruud Gullit.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50Yep. There we are.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52Down to 10.
0:29:55 > 0:30:02Very well done, Mark and Carl. So after our second question it is one point apiece. Richard?
0:30:02 > 0:30:08Yes, 17 managers in 20 years. It really is amazing they haven't won the Premiership(!)
0:30:08 > 0:30:12A few had very brief stints. Let's look at all of them.
0:30:12 > 0:30:17Pointless answer - Steve Clarke, a caretaker manager. Jim Smith, also pointless.
0:30:17 > 0:30:23Terry McDermott, one point. Nigel Pearson, one point. John Carver, very briefly caretaker.
0:30:23 > 0:30:28Graeme Souness, two. He was fired.
0:30:28 > 0:30:32Joe Kinnear, bizarrely, took over. Ossie Ardiles also was fired.
0:30:32 > 0:30:37Glenn Roeder left in 2007, four. Sam Allardyce, six. Kenny Dalglish, nine.
0:30:37 > 0:30:42Alan Pardew, who took over in December 2010, on 10 points.
0:30:42 > 0:30:47Ruud Gullit also on 10. Chris Hughton on 11.
0:30:47 > 0:30:51Alan Shearer, of course, was briefly in charge, 17.
0:30:51 > 0:30:57Sir Bobby Robson, 22. And Kevin Keegan has been there twice. The biggest answer - 43.
0:30:57 > 0:31:01OK, thank you very much. Here is your third question.
0:31:01 > 0:31:07Whoever wins this is through to the final and will be playing for that £11,000 jackpot.
0:31:07 > 0:31:12It's a crucial point this. We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:31:12 > 0:31:17to name as many post-war Poets Laureate as they could.
0:31:17 > 0:31:21Post-war Poets Laureate. Richard?
0:31:21 > 0:31:28Any of the six people who have held the post of Poet Laureate from 1945 to the beginning of 2011.
0:31:28 > 0:31:32OK, thanks very much, Richard. Mark and Carl, you get to go first.
0:31:35 > 0:31:36Em...
0:31:36 > 0:31:40After racking our brains, I think we...
0:31:40 > 0:31:45Just somewhere in the back of my mind I think Cecil Day-Lewis was...
0:31:45 > 0:31:49Cecil Day-Lewis. OK. You're saying Cecil Day-Lewis.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52Imogen and Imelda?
0:31:52 > 0:31:57John Betjeman, Philip Larkin and Andrew Motion. No, not Larkin.
0:31:57 > 0:32:01- Ted Hughes.- Ted Hughes.- Briefly.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06- Carol Ann Duffy!- Yeah.
0:32:06 > 0:32:10- Carol Ann Duffy.- Carol Ann Duffy is your answer?- Yes, please.- OK.
0:32:10 > 0:32:14So we have Cecil Day-Lewis and we have Carol Ann Duffy.
0:32:14 > 0:32:19Let's take them in order. Cecil Day-Lewis. Is it right and how many people said it?
0:32:22 > 0:32:24It's right.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31Oh, look at that! One point!
0:32:35 > 0:32:41Now that's a low score. Imogen and Imelda, you have said Carol Ann Duffy.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44Is it right and how many said it?
0:32:47 > 0:32:49Well done. It's right.
0:32:49 > 0:32:53Good luck. Let's see how far down this goes.
0:32:53 > 0:32:54Oh!
0:32:59 > 0:33:01Well...
0:33:01 > 0:33:07Mark and Carl have done it. Lovely low score there. Cecil Day-Lewis.
0:33:07 > 0:33:11After three questions, Mark and Carl are through, 2-1.
0:33:11 > 0:33:17- Richard?- Very good Head to Head. You gave us five of the six Poets Laureate.
0:33:17 > 0:33:23The other was the only one that would have beaten Cecil Day-Lewis. Let's look at who that was.
0:33:23 > 0:33:27A pointless answer - John Masefield.
0:33:27 > 0:33:31He was Poet Laureate from 1930 through to 1968.
0:33:31 > 0:33:35Cecil Day-Lewis on one, Carol Ann Duffy was the one to go for.
0:33:35 > 0:33:39She scored 16. Andrew Motion, 18, Ted Hughes, 19.
0:33:39 > 0:33:43He was Poet Laureate because Philip Larkin turned it down.
0:33:43 > 0:33:47And John Betjeman at the top on 24.
0:33:47 > 0:33:52Thanks, Richard. So the losing pair at the end of the Head to Head is Imogen and Imelda.
0:33:52 > 0:33:57It was very, very close indeed. You've been great contestants.
0:33:57 > 0:34:04- Sorry that you haven't made it through to the final, but we will see you again next time.- Yep.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07- Thanks very much, meanwhile. - Thank you.
0:34:09 > 0:34:15But for Mark and Carl it's time for our Pointless final and the chance to win £11,000.
0:34:21 > 0:34:28Congratulations, Mark and Carl. You fought off the competition and won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:34:34 > 0:34:38You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot. And it stands...
0:34:38 > 0:34:41at £11,000.
0:34:46 > 0:34:53The rules are very simple. All you have to do is find a pointless answer that nobody thought of.
0:34:53 > 0:34:59We haven't had any today. You only have to find one now.
0:34:59 > 0:35:04First, choose a category and you can choose from these three options.
0:35:04 > 0:35:08We have World Geography, Music Awards and Sports Stars.
0:35:10 > 0:35:15- What do you think?- World Geography would not be my choice.
0:35:15 > 0:35:19- Not Music Awards... - It has to be Sports Stars.
0:35:20 > 0:35:24On joint knowledge, it's one we could both maybe come up with.
0:35:24 > 0:35:28Music is definitely my weakest out of them.
0:35:28 > 0:35:32- Sports Stars.- I think we're looking definitely at Sports Stars.
0:35:32 > 0:35:39- What would be your dream categories? - Players that scored winning goals for Hull City in the FA Cup final!
0:35:39 > 0:35:41LAUGHTER
0:35:41 > 0:35:45- Everyone knows that.- OK. Let's find out what that question is.
0:35:45 > 0:35:51Here goes. We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:35:51 > 0:35:56BBC Overseas Sports Personalities of the Year as they could.
0:35:56 > 0:36:03- BBC Overseas Sports Personalities. Richard?- Any winner of the Overseas Sports Personality of the Year
0:36:03 > 0:36:10from the first time it was awarded in 1960 through to and including the 2010 award. Best of luck.
0:36:10 > 0:36:14You have up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:36:14 > 0:36:21All you need to win that £11,000 is for one answer to be pointless. Your 60 seconds start now.
0:36:21 > 0:36:25- OK, would you go for Pele? - Or tennis, Bjorn Borg.
0:36:25 > 0:36:32- Bjorn Borg. They're all famous people. Who pulled something out of the bag...?- Recently?
0:36:32 > 0:36:36- Yeah.- Going for long ago, cup winners...
0:36:36 > 0:36:41- Who's the Aussie rugby player who won? Campese?- David Campese.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43Maybe.
0:36:46 > 0:36:48David, David Campese.
0:36:48 > 0:36:53- McEnroe or Borg at tennis... Rod Laver!- Laver.- Won a Grand Slam.
0:36:53 > 0:36:57Good call. I don't know if they won. You want to go for someone obscure.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59Go for someone obscure.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02- Tom Watson?- Yeah.- Golf.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05Someone like that?
0:37:05 > 0:37:07Anything else?
0:37:07 > 0:37:11Who else is in golf? Ballesteros? Obvious, isn't it?
0:37:11 > 0:37:16- If he definitely won.- I don't know if any of these did.- Five seconds.
0:37:21 > 0:37:26OK. It sounds like you have your three answers.
0:37:26 > 0:37:30Your time is up. BBC Overseas Sports Personalities of the Year.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32I now need those three answers.
0:37:32 > 0:37:38- We're not sure any of them were Sports Personality, but Rod Laver... - Rod Laver.
0:37:38 > 0:37:42- David Campese.- David Campese. - And, em...
0:37:43 > 0:37:47- Severiano Ballesteros. - Seve Ballesteros.- Yeah.
0:37:47 > 0:37:53OK. Of those three, which do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:37:53 > 0:37:58- Probably Rod Laver.- Laver. - OK, Rod Laver last.
0:37:58 > 0:38:03- And of the remaining two, which is least likely?- Seve. - Seve's least likely, yeah.
0:38:03 > 0:38:08- He's well known.- OK. We'll put them up on the board in that order.
0:38:08 > 0:38:13Here we go. Seve Ballesteros, David Campese
0:38:14 > 0:38:16and Rod Laver.
0:38:16 > 0:38:21We were looking for BBC Overseas Sports Personalities of the Year.
0:38:21 > 0:38:28This was your least confident answer. You only need one pointless answer to win that £11,000 jackpot.
0:38:28 > 0:38:32OK, so let's see if Seve Ballesteros is a correct answer and, if it is,
0:38:32 > 0:38:36how many people said Seve Ballesteros?
0:38:37 > 0:38:39It's right.
0:38:39 > 0:38:46That was the first thing it had to be. The second thing it has to be is a zero score.
0:38:46 > 0:38:49Down it goes, into single figures!
0:38:49 > 0:38:52Oh, wow! Two!
0:38:54 > 0:38:56Two!
0:38:56 > 0:38:58This tells us two things.
0:38:58 > 0:39:01Firstly, our 100 people
0:39:01 > 0:39:07perhaps aren't that good at this particular category.
0:39:07 > 0:39:14It also tells us that your least confident answer is already brilliant.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16Sadly, it's not pointless, though.
0:39:16 > 0:39:22But you weren't expecting that to go all the way down. Were you surprised by that?
0:39:22 > 0:39:26- Yeah.- To a certain degree. - This is very exciting.
0:39:26 > 0:39:29You only have two more chances to win the jackpot.
0:39:29 > 0:39:36We are looking for BBC Overseas Sports Personalities of the Year. Your second answer is David Campese.
0:39:36 > 0:39:42It has to be pointless for you to win that £11,000. First, though, it has to be right.
0:39:42 > 0:39:47Let's see if it is right. What would you do with £11,000?
0:39:47 > 0:39:52- Ohh!- My children would think of many ways of spending it.
0:39:52 > 0:39:54Just don't tell them.
0:39:54 > 0:40:01I'm sure my wife would absorb most of it before it hit the bank account, but there you go.
0:40:01 > 0:40:05You could have a very jolly journey back to Hull, that's for sure.
0:40:05 > 0:40:11OK. David Campese. Let's see if it's right and how many people said it. Good luck.
0:40:17 > 0:40:23- It was a shot in the dark. - It was.- David Campese.
0:40:23 > 0:40:30Sadly, not a pointless answer. You only have one more chance to win today's jackpot. Rod Laver.
0:40:30 > 0:40:34There he is. This has to be pointless. It's your last shot.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38You are one question away
0:40:40 > 0:40:42from £11,000.
0:40:42 > 0:40:48We are looking for BBC Overseas Sports Personalities of the Year. Rod Laver.
0:40:48 > 0:40:54Is it correct and, if it is, how many people have said it? Rod Laver.
0:40:58 > 0:41:00It's right! It's right.
0:41:01 > 0:41:06Oh, this is very exciting. Seve Ballesteros went down to two.
0:41:06 > 0:41:10Rod Laver - is he going to take you all the way down to pointless?
0:41:10 > 0:41:13Oh, no!
0:41:13 > 0:41:15THEY LAUGH
0:41:17 > 0:41:19- Oh!- Ah, well...
0:41:19 > 0:41:26- Who was that person? - We have had a punishing run of ones on this jackpot round.
0:41:26 > 0:41:32You wouldn't believe the number of ones we've had. I'm so sorry.
0:41:32 > 0:41:37You didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer so you don't win the £11,000,
0:41:37 > 0:41:45which rolls over to the next show. You have been brilliant contestants and you take our Pointless trophy.
0:41:49 > 0:41:54OK, well, this is the painful bit. Richard?
0:41:54 > 0:42:01It's even more painful today. There are some names on that board that are incredibly well-known.
0:42:01 > 0:42:05Incredible that Rod Laver scored one when you see those with nothing.
0:42:05 > 0:42:08David Campese was a good guess. Mal Meninga won.
0:42:08 > 0:42:13Let's look at the pointless answers. We'll start with tennis players.
0:42:13 > 0:42:21Andre Agassi won it, Boris Becker, Martina Navratilova, Chris Evert, Steffi Graf - all pointless.
0:42:21 > 0:42:24Let's look at the next board.
0:42:24 > 0:42:27Eusebio, the only football player.
0:42:27 > 0:42:33Gary Player was pointless, Lee Trevino, Brian Lara, a pointless answer.
0:42:34 > 0:42:41Evander Holyfield, a pointless answer, Michael Johnson, the 400 metre runner, Jonah Lomu.
0:42:41 > 0:42:48All pointless answers. Very well done if you said them. Very, very tough luck. Tough luck.
0:42:48 > 0:42:53- Oh, dear. That makes painful reading.- Way the cookie crumbles.
0:42:53 > 0:42:57- I'm surprised at some of those. - Amazed! Brian Lara!
0:42:57 > 0:43:03- I know. Jonah Lomu. - Well, unfortunately, we do have to say goodbye to you,
0:43:03 > 0:43:10but it's been brilliant. You've been excellent contestants. Thank you so much for playing.
0:43:10 > 0:43:16So nobody's won our jackpot today. It rolls over again to the next show when we will be playing for...
0:43:16 > 0:43:18£12,000.
0:43:21 > 0:43:28- Join us then to see if someone can win it. Meanwhile, goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.- And from me.
