0:00:24 > 0:00:28Thank you very much. Hello. I'm Alexander Armstrong and a very warm welcome to Pointless,
0:00:28 > 0:00:33the quiz show where the lowest scorers are the biggest winners. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41First we welcome Carron and Glen, you're our first pair on the show today.
0:00:41 > 0:00:42How do you know each other?
0:00:42 > 0:00:46Well, she's my mum so we know each other quite well.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47Just quite well.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Just quite well, yeah. We're quite competitive.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52We play the quiz every week
0:00:52 > 0:00:54so that's why we're here. We're looking to win.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57I can feel the competitive spirit there, Richard.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59It's good to come out with it.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Cor, isn't it though?
0:01:01 > 0:01:02Straight to the point.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04It makes the fall a bit further but that's OK.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06LAUGHTER
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Where've you come from, Carron?
0:01:08 > 0:01:10We've come from Southampton.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12And what are you hoping is going to come up this afternoon?
0:01:12 > 0:01:15History. I'm a teacher, when I am not studying.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17I'm studying at the moment for an MA,
0:01:17 > 0:01:20but I was teaching in sixth form, history and classics.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Wow!
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Everyone else may as well just go home now.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28- Well, very best of luck. It's great to have you here.- Thank you.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Next, we welcome back Imogen and Imelda. You were on the show last time.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35Everyone gets two chances to reach our final and this is your second chance.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37You did brilliantly well.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Well, we did well but we didn't win.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43You didn't win, but it was very, very hard fought.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45It was luck of the draw.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48What do you hope is going to come up this afternoon, Imelda?
0:01:48 > 0:01:53I like general knowledge and I don't mind sport.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56OK. Well, we shall see.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58What do you do in your spare time, Imogen?
0:01:58 > 0:02:01I collect vintage knitting patterns.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Finally, somebody else who does that.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07I honestly thought it was just you.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09LAUGHTER
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Which is your favourite vintage knitting pattern?
0:02:12 > 0:02:16Vintage knitted swimwear, that's the best
0:02:16 > 0:02:19because you have these men posing in knitted trunks
0:02:19 > 0:02:24which obviously don't keep the shape when they come out of the water...
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Knitted swimwear?! Blimey.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Yeah, it was a big thing in the '40s.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Indeed. Very best of luck. It's lovely having you back.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35- I hope you'll make it through to the head-to-head and beyond. - Thank you.
0:02:35 > 0:02:40Next, we welcome Stephen and Gary. How do you two know each other?
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Stephen and I have been friends for six, seven years...
0:02:43 > 0:02:4667 years! How's about that?
0:02:46 > 0:02:50A round of applause. 67 years.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52APPLAUSE
0:02:52 > 0:02:54That would be six OR seven years.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56All right.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59We found we had a common interest in following
0:02:59 > 0:03:01our local non-league football team, Barrow AFC.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03So you meet on the terraces?
0:03:03 > 0:03:06On the terraces. We're also in a pub quiz team together.
0:03:06 > 0:03:07Very good.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11If you have a pub quiz team, presumably it has a name. What's it called?
0:03:11 > 0:03:13We're the Vic Park Half-Wits.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15What do you mean, half-wits? Come on. There are two of you.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17That's a whole-wit.
0:03:19 > 0:03:20There's two others in the team.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22That's more wits than you need.
0:03:22 > 0:03:27Very good. It's brilliant having you here and best of luck on the show.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31Finally, we welcome back Lynn and Neil. You were also on the show last time.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35This is your second and final chance to reach our final. Remind us what happened.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37We lost.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39You didn't lose.
0:03:39 > 0:03:40On art unfortunately.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42No-one loses on Pointless, no-one loses.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46- You went out very graciously with tremendous aplomb...- Thank you.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48..in the second round.
0:03:49 > 0:03:54Do you have any surprising little niche interests, Lynn?
0:03:54 > 0:03:55Sorry, I'm not prying.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59You mean with a name like Lynn? No, I don't dress up.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01I wasn't going to say but...
0:04:01 > 0:04:05I'm just wondering. Sometimes, people have spectacular knowledge
0:04:05 > 0:04:08of some tiny little slightly left-field...
0:04:08 > 0:04:10Nothing at all.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Horse racing, golf, rugby, that's me.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Neil, how about you?
0:04:14 > 0:04:17I do know quite a bit about conspiracy theories.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19You shouldn't have asked that question.
0:04:19 > 0:04:24What's the most convoluted, barking mad conspiracy theory
0:04:24 > 0:04:26you've come across, Neil?
0:04:26 > 0:04:29It's got to be the Moon landings one, hasn't it?
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Where do you come down on that one, Neil?
0:04:32 > 0:04:35I think they obviously landed on the Moon.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Ah, you're such a sucker.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39LAUGHTER
0:04:39 > 0:04:44I've been to the Moon more times than Neil Armstrong.
0:04:44 > 0:04:45Like HE exists(!)
0:04:47 > 0:04:50OK, well...
0:04:50 > 0:04:53very best of luck to you this time round, Lynn and Neil.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56We'll find out more about all of you throughout the show.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58There's only one person left to introduce.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01He is a ray of sunshine in the murky world of obscurity.
0:05:01 > 0:05:02He is my Pointless friend.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04- He's Richard.- Hiya.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Should be a cracking show. Four very good pairs there.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15What about it? Yeah.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Everyone seems to know what they're doing.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20We've got Glen who's a genius,
0:05:20 > 0:05:21a certified genius,
0:05:21 > 0:05:23he has essentially told us.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27It should be a very very good show. We've got some good questions
0:05:27 > 0:05:29which I think are going to test the knowledge of our people.
0:05:29 > 0:05:34We've got a question on films so that should please a few people. It should be a cracker.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36No idea who's going to win this one.
0:05:36 > 0:05:37Very hard to call.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40We put all our questions to 100 people before the show
0:05:40 > 0:05:44but this is Pointless so we are after the obscure answers that they didn't get.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47What everyone's trying to do is find a pointless answer,
0:05:47 > 0:05:50that's an answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Now, nobody won the jackpot last time
0:05:56 > 0:05:58so we add another £1,000 to that
0:05:58 > 0:06:02so today's jackpot starts off at an unbelievable £12,000.
0:06:02 > 0:06:07APPLAUSE
0:06:09 > 0:06:10Right, let's play Pointless.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19In the first round, each of you must give me one answer
0:06:19 > 0:06:21and you cannot confer with your partner.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25The team with the highest score at the end of the round will be eliminated.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29Our first category this afternoon is...
0:06:29 > 0:06:33There we are. History, Glen.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37Could be good, depends on the... topic.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Couldn't get the words out!
0:06:40 > 0:06:43He is a genius, isn't he?
0:06:43 > 0:06:45- He doesn't even need words.- Yeah.
0:06:45 > 0:06:50Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first, who's going to go second?
0:06:50 > 0:06:54And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name...
0:07:00 > 0:07:03as many World War II aircraft as they could.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06World War II aircraft. Richard.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09The correct answers in this round will all be World War II aircraft
0:07:09 > 0:07:12flown on active service in World War II
0:07:12 > 0:07:15by either the RAF or the Royal Navy.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Carron and Glen. You all drew lots before the show
0:07:18 > 0:07:22and you get to go first. In this round, you'll be pleased to hear,
0:07:22 > 0:07:26we're going to give you a choice of seven possible answers on the board in each pass.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30Your first set of seven answers reads like this. Here we go.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38I'll read those one more time.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47I can tell you that at least one of those answers is Pointless,
0:07:47 > 0:07:50but be careful because at least one of those answers is incorrect.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54Pick an incorrect one and you will score the maximum of 100 points.
0:07:54 > 0:07:55Now then, Glen.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Yeah,
0:07:57 > 0:07:59there's one that's an obvious one
0:07:59 > 0:08:01but I shall pick something different.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05I'm going to go for the Sunderland, fly around in a Sunderland, why not?
0:08:05 > 0:08:08The Sunderland. OK, let's see if that's a correct answer
0:08:08 > 0:08:12and if it is, how many people said Sunderland. Good luck, Glen.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16He's right. Very well done.
0:08:21 > 0:08:22APPLAUSE
0:08:22 > 0:08:23Very well done, Glen.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27That scores you two points.
0:08:27 > 0:08:28A great answer.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Sunderland, Richard?
0:08:30 > 0:08:31Well played, Glen.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33The Short Sunderland is a flying boat, actually.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37It's the last flying boat the RAF ever used, used for 20 odd years.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40The Germans used to call it the "Flying Porcupine".
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Thanks very much, Richard. So...
0:08:42 > 0:08:45remember we are looking for World War II aircraft. Imogen.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48What do you think?
0:08:48 > 0:08:52Well, my grandfather flew aeroplanes in the Second World War,
0:08:52 > 0:08:55but none of those.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57I am going to play safe and go Mosquito.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59- Mosquito?- Yeah.
0:08:59 > 0:09:00OK.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03Let's see if Mosquito is a correct answer
0:09:03 > 0:09:05and if it is, let's see how many people said Mosquito.
0:09:07 > 0:09:08It's right.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Down it comes. Look at that. 10.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Not a bad score at all, Imogen.
0:09:19 > 0:09:2210 points for Mosquito. Richard.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26Well done. The de Havilland Mosquito, constructed with a wooden frame.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28They used it as a night fighter.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30What do the Germans call that?
0:09:30 > 0:09:32They call it the Flying Mosquito.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35OK, thanks very much, Richard.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Now then, Stephen. We are looking for World War II aircraft.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40I think I'm going to go for the Halifax.
0:09:40 > 0:09:41The Halifax?
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Yeah, a bit of a punt.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said Halifax.
0:09:49 > 0:09:50It's right.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Look at that. 5!
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Very well done there, Stephen.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03You are joining the low scorers with Halifax. Richard.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Well played, Stephen.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07It's a four-engined heavy bomber, the Halifax.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10It had a wingspan of over 100 feet.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14OK, then. Neil, we are looking for World War II aircraft.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16OK, I am going to go for...
0:10:17 > 0:10:19..the Blenheim.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21The Blenheim. Is it right
0:10:21 > 0:10:24and if it is, how many people said it?
0:10:24 > 0:10:25Good luck. Let's see.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Very well done.
0:10:33 > 0:10:358.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Well done, well done.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41Right in among the low scores there, Neil. Very well answered. Richard.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45Well-played, Neil. Well-played, everybody. The Bristol Blenheim
0:10:45 > 0:10:48is a twin-engined bomber. Let's take a look at the rest of the list.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52The Hurricane, of course, played a major part in the Battle of Britain.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55That would have scored you 41 points, not a massive score.
0:10:55 > 0:10:56So, Gladiator or Battleaxe,
0:10:56 > 0:10:59one of those is Pointless, one of those is incorrect.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02I'd go Battleaxe is right and I'd say Gladiator is wrong.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Exactly incorrect.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08The Gladiator is actually the last of the RAF bi-planes.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10The Gladiator would have been a pointless answer
0:11:10 > 0:11:13and Battleaxe, incorrect I'm afraid, not a plane.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16There was an Operation Battleaxe in the war but not a plane.
0:11:16 > 0:11:21Thanks, Richard. We're halfway through the round so let's take a look at the scores.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23An amazingly low scoring round.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Glen, genius(!)
0:11:27 > 0:11:28Certified genius.
0:11:28 > 0:11:33On 2 points. Up from you, just a couple of notches, we come to Stephen and Gary on 5.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36Up a little bit from them, we come to Neil and Lynn on 8.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38There on 10, by no means a high score,
0:11:38 > 0:11:42but it just happens to be our highest score, Imogen and Imelda.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46We're going to come back down the line. Can the second players take their places at the podium?
0:11:49 > 0:11:52OK, we're going to put seven more answers on the board.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55Remember, we are looking for World War II aircraft.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57And we have got...
0:12:12 > 0:12:16There we are. I can tell you that at least one of those is pointless
0:12:16 > 0:12:18and at least one of those is incorrect
0:12:18 > 0:12:20so try and avoid those incorrect ones.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24- Now then, Lynn.- Mm-hm.- The high scorers are Imelda and Imogen on 10.
0:12:24 > 0:12:29If you can score one point with this answer...
0:12:29 > 0:12:31I didn't say I was that good!
0:12:31 > 0:12:33One point and you are definitely through.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37I'm telling you, there is at least one pointless answer on that board.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39I'm going to go for Swordfish.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Swordfish. Let's see if Swordfish is a correct answer
0:12:41 > 0:12:45and if it is, let's see how many people said Swordfish.
0:12:46 > 0:12:47It's right.
0:12:52 > 0:12:53Down it goes.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Very, very, well done, Lynn.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57APPLAUSE
0:12:57 > 0:12:59That's a great answer.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02I'm sure that will see you through. That scores you 2.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05Takes your total up to 10. Richard, Swordfish.
0:13:05 > 0:13:10Very well played. It's the Fairey Swordfish which sounds like a children's book but it's not.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14The Fairey Swordfish was another bi-plane, actually, an open cockpit bi-plane.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18OK, very well done, Lynn. Very well done indeed.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Gary, you are on 5.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24The high scorers jointly are Imelda and Imogen on 10
0:13:24 > 0:13:25and Lynn and Neil on 10.
0:13:25 > 0:13:31If you can score four points or less, you are definitely through to the next round.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34Remember, we're looking for aircraft from World War II.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36There's one that's standing out to me
0:13:36 > 0:13:39as I don't think it is a World War II plane,
0:13:39 > 0:13:41so I'll try somewhere else,
0:13:41 > 0:13:43and I'll go for Albacore.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Albacore. It sounds right, doesn't it?
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Albacore at 12 o'clock.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49LAUGHTER
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Anyway, only one way to find out. Good luck.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55Albacore, is it right, how many people said it?
0:13:56 > 0:13:59It's right. Very well done, Gary.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02Maybe this will add another £250 to our massive jackpot.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Yes, it does!
0:14:07 > 0:14:11That is a pointless answer. It adds 250 quid to today's jackpot,
0:14:11 > 0:14:15taking the total up to £12,250.
0:14:15 > 0:14:16It scores you nothing
0:14:16 > 0:14:19and it leaves your total at a very impressive low 5. Richard.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22Well played, Gary. Another aircraft made by Fairey, actually.
0:14:22 > 0:14:26It was designed to take over from the Swordfish but was less effective than it.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28Now then, Imelda, Imogen,
0:14:28 > 0:14:32the high scorers are Lynn and Neil and you.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36Ideally, you would find another pointless answer on that board.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40It'll have to be a complete guess.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43I'm going to go for Wellington.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46Is it right and if it is, how many people said Wellington?
0:14:49 > 0:14:50It's right.
0:14:56 > 0:14:579.
0:15:00 > 0:15:04Scores you 9, takes your total up to 19. Richard.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07Well done, you've given yourself a chance.
0:15:07 > 0:15:12The Vickers Wellington bomber. It was built in greater numbers than any other bomber during the war.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14OK, thanks very much. Now, Carron, you're on 2
0:15:14 > 0:15:17thanks to Glen's brilliant answer in the first pass.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21If you can score 16 or less with this answer,
0:15:21 > 0:15:23you are through to the next round.
0:15:23 > 0:15:28Sorry, Glen. I'm going to go for the Laika.
0:15:30 > 0:15:31Ly-ka, Lay-ka.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35- Glen's not very happy.- Sorry, Glen.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37I don't think it's right.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41I think that's a Russian dog that went to space.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44He's a genius.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46LAUGHTER
0:15:46 > 0:15:47Genius.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50OK, let's see if Laika is the correct answer, and if it is,
0:15:50 > 0:15:54how many people said Laika. Good luck, Carron.
0:15:54 > 0:15:55Thank you.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00Ohhhh, dear. Bad luck, Carron.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04I'm afraid that is an incorrect answer
0:16:04 > 0:16:07which means you score the maximum of 100 points
0:16:07 > 0:16:11and that takes your total up to an unbeatable 102.
0:16:11 > 0:16:12Richard.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Glen had heard of Laika, but unfortunately
0:16:15 > 0:16:18Carron was a Laika virgin and hadn't.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21Let's take a look at the rest of the answers.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Spitfire, obviously, a very big score, 75.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28The Lancaster, the Lancaster bomber, would have scored you 41.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30And Firefox, do you think that's pointless
0:16:30 > 0:16:32or do you think that's incorrect?
0:16:32 > 0:16:36I've never heard of a Firefox plane.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39It's a plane in a Clint Eastwood movie, the Firefox.
0:16:39 > 0:16:40It's an incorrect answer.
0:16:40 > 0:16:41Very good.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44I've just remembered what the Germans called the Wellington.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46Das Boot.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48LAUGHTER
0:16:48 > 0:16:49HE LAUGHS SARCASTICALLY
0:16:51 > 0:16:53Wow. Thank you, Richard.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57At the end of Round One, the losing pair with the highest score,
0:16:57 > 0:16:59I'm afraid it's Carron and Glen.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02- Never mind.- Dear, oh-dear, oh-dear. You were a victim of Pointless.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04I was.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07I tell you what, when you come back you can be thrilled
0:17:07 > 0:17:09that we won't have this round again.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12- And you have the genius that is Glen.- Yes.
0:17:12 > 0:17:17I am sure that next time we will see a great deal more of you.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19- Thanks very much for playing. - Thank you.
0:17:19 > 0:17:24APPLAUSE
0:17:24 > 0:17:27For the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round Two.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36Only two pairs can make it through to the head-to-head,
0:17:36 > 0:17:38so one team is going to be leaving at the end of this round.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41OK, our category for Round Two is...
0:17:43 > 0:17:46Can you all decide in your pairs who's going to go first,
0:17:46 > 0:17:48who's going to go second.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57And our Round Two question concerns...
0:18:00 > 0:18:04We're about to show you a list of actors. We asked 100 people
0:18:04 > 0:18:07to tell us the film for which they won an Oscar for Best Actor.
0:18:07 > 0:18:08Richard.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11We're going to show you six names on each pass,
0:18:11 > 0:18:14each of them have the year in which they won the Best Actor Oscar.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16You've just got to tell us what film it was for.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20Give us the more obscure answers, you'll score fewer points.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23Give us an incorrect answer, you'll score 100 points.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27There's six on each pass, twelve for everyone at home to have a go at.
0:18:27 > 0:18:32OK, so we're looking for the films these actors won their Best Actor Oscar for. OK, here we go.
0:18:32 > 0:18:33We have got...
0:18:48 > 0:18:51I'll read through that list one more time.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Imelda.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Yeah, there's a few that I know.
0:19:06 > 0:19:11I'm going to go Philip Seymour Hoffman for Capote.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14Let's see if it's right, and if it is, how many people knew that answer.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16Philip Seymour Hoffman, Capote.
0:19:18 > 0:19:19Brilliant.
0:19:25 > 0:19:26Very well done, Imelda.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29That's a lovely low score there.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32Philip Seymour Hoffman, Capote, scoring you 6 points.
0:19:32 > 0:19:33Richard.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35Yes, it's a terrific answer, Imelda.
0:19:35 > 0:19:39He played Truman Capote in the film.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42Now then, Gary. You like films?
0:19:42 > 0:19:46I do, I do. I think I'll probably go
0:19:46 > 0:19:49and try Gene Hackman for The French Connection.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Very good, let's see if that's right and if it is,
0:19:51 > 0:19:55let's see how many people knew Gene Hackman, The French Connection.
0:19:57 > 0:19:58Very well done.
0:20:04 > 0:20:0512.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07APPLAUSE
0:20:09 > 0:20:12- 12 for The French Connection. Richard.- Well played, Gary.
0:20:12 > 0:20:16Won an Oscar for his portrayal of Popeye Doyle in The French Connection.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18- Lynn?- Mm.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20We're looking for the names of the films
0:20:20 > 0:20:24for which these actors won their Best Actor Oscar in the year shown.
0:20:26 > 0:20:31- I think I know them all. - Talk us through the board and then you can pick your favourite.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34Sean Penn for Milk, Ben Kingsley for Ghandi.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37The only one I'm not sure of is Alec Guinness.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39I think it was Kind Hearts And Coronets
0:20:39 > 0:20:42and Anthony Hopkins for Silence Of The Lambs.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44I'm going for Sean Penn, Milk.
0:20:44 > 0:20:48Very good. Let's see if it's right, and if so, how many people knew that answer.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50Sean Penn, Milk.
0:20:53 > 0:20:54Well done, Lynn, that's right.
0:20:58 > 0:20:59Down it comes.
0:20:59 > 0:21:0010.
0:21:00 > 0:21:04APPLAUSE
0:21:04 > 0:21:08I can't fault your grouping. That's fantastic. That scores you 10.
0:21:08 > 0:21:13- Milk, Richard.- He won his second Oscar for the portrayal of the gay rights activist Harvey Milk.
0:21:13 > 0:21:18You were right about Ben Kingsley, he was Ghandi. Would have scored you 34.
0:21:18 > 0:21:23You're right about Anthony Hopkins as well. That would have scored you 38.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27- If you were tempted to go for Kind Hearts And Coronets, it's lucky you didn't.- Ladykillers?
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Not that. It's a very different film.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33It was for The Bridge On The River Kwai that he won in '58.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37It would have scored you 7 points. So that's a very, very good answer.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40Phillip Seymour Hoffman, the best answer on the board.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43We're halfway through the round. Let's look at the scores.
0:21:43 > 0:21:49Incredibly close. Imelda, a wonderful answer from you, sees you looking the most secure.
0:21:49 > 0:21:55Lynn and Neil on 10, Gary and Stephen on 12. Stephen, Neil, you have a contest on your hands.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59OK. Can the second players take their places at the podium.
0:22:02 > 0:22:07We're putting six more actors on the board, and the years in which they won their Best Actor Oscar.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09Here they are.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24I'm going to read that board again.
0:22:35 > 0:22:39Neil and Lynn, you're on 10. The highest score is with Stephen and Gary on 12.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42If you can score one point with this
0:22:42 > 0:22:46you'd be through to the next round. What are you thinking, Neil?
0:22:46 > 0:22:52I know nearly all of them. There's only one I'm not sure on.
0:22:52 > 0:22:57I'm going for Gregory Peck, To Kill A Mockingbird.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01Gregory Peck, To Kill A Mockingbird. Let's see if it's right, and if so, how many people said it.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06Well done, it's right.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12Vey well done, Neil. That's a great score. 12.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15APPLAUSE
0:23:15 > 0:23:17That takes your total up to 22.
0:23:17 > 0:23:23- Richard.- Well played, Neil. It was his fifth Oscar nomination, his only win, Gregory Peck.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25His character, Atticus Finch,
0:23:25 > 0:23:30was named the greatest screen hero of all time by the American Film Institute.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34Now then, Stephen, you're on 12.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38The highest scores are currently Lynn and Neil on 22.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Should you score nine or less with this answer,
0:23:41 > 0:23:44you would be through to the head-to-head.
0:23:44 > 0:23:49Eh... I'll go with Yul Brynner,
0:23:49 > 0:23:52The King And I.
0:23:52 > 0:23:56There he is, second on the board, 1957, The King And I.
0:23:56 > 0:24:03There's your red line. If you go below it you're through to the next round. But this has to be right.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06Let's see if that is correct, Yul Brynner and The King And I.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08And if it is, how many people said it.
0:24:10 > 0:24:11It's right.
0:24:16 > 0:24:1835.
0:24:18 > 0:24:19APPLAUSE
0:24:22 > 0:24:2435 takes your total to 47. Richard.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27Big score, probably his most famous role by quite some way.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31He also played the same role on stage and won a Tony for it.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35He played that role 4,525 times.
0:24:35 > 0:24:36Phew!
0:24:37 > 0:24:40Right. So, Imogen, you are on six.
0:24:40 > 0:24:46If you can score 40 or less, you will avoid overtaking Stephen and Gary
0:24:46 > 0:24:49who are the current highest scorers, on 47.
0:24:49 > 0:24:53I think Forest Whitaker won it for The Last King Of Scotland.
0:24:53 > 0:24:59Russell Crowe won it for A Beautiful Mind, I think.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Not sure about Paul Scofield.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04I've got A Man For All Seasons in my head,
0:25:04 > 0:25:06but I don't know if that's right.
0:25:06 > 0:25:10Jack Nicholson... I think that's One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14But I think I'm going to go with Forest Whitaker and The Last King Of Scotland.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17- Forest Whitaker, Last King Of Scotland.- Yeah.
0:25:17 > 0:25:18OK, here's your red line.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22If you can get below that red line with Forest Whitaker, Last King Of Scotland
0:25:22 > 0:25:25you are through to the head-to-head.
0:25:25 > 0:25:29Let's see if it's right, and if so, how many people said it. Good luck, Imogen.
0:25:31 > 0:25:32It's right.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38And you are through to the head-to-head.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42There we are. 15 it scores you, taking your total to 21.
0:25:46 > 0:25:51A very good answer, well played. You nearly went through the rest of the board as well.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54Paul Scofield is the best answer for A Man For All Seasons.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57It would've scored 7 points, so well done if you got that at home.
0:25:57 > 0:26:01Jack Nicholson was One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest in 1976, 20 points.
0:26:01 > 0:26:05But Russell Crowe was Gladiator in 2001. 48 points for that.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07Thanks very much, Richard.
0:26:07 > 0:26:13At the end of Round Two, the losing pair with the highest score, I'm afraid Stephen and Gary, it's you.
0:26:13 > 0:26:1847, normally a very respectable score, even just on one pass.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21You were up against stiff competition.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23But we'll see you again next time.
0:26:23 > 0:26:27Meanwhile, thank you very, very much for playing. It's been brilliant having you on the show.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30APPLAUSE
0:26:30 > 0:26:35But for the remaining two pairs, things get even more exciting now, as we enter the head-to-head.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39APPLAUSE
0:26:41 > 0:26:45Very well done, Lynn and Neil, Imogen and Imelda.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47You have made it through to the head-to head.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50Only one pair can make it through to today's final
0:26:50 > 0:26:54and play for the jackpot, which currently stands at £12,250.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56APPLAUSE
0:26:58 > 0:27:00You'll go head-to-head on the best of three questions.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04For each question, each pair needs to give me just one answer.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06You are now allowed to confer.
0:27:06 > 0:27:10Come up with an answer that scores less than the other pair and you'll win that question.
0:27:10 > 0:27:14The first pair to get the best of three will play for today's jackpot.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16Let's play Pointless.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18APPLAUSE
0:27:21 > 0:27:25OK, here is your first question. We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:27:25 > 0:27:31to name as many Ivy League universities as they could.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33Ivy League universities. Richard?
0:27:33 > 0:27:38We're looking for any of the eight American universities that make up the Ivy League.
0:27:38 > 0:27:44OK. Lynn and Neil, you've played best throughout the show so far, so you get to go first.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47We are looking for Ivy League universities.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52- We're going to go for Berkeley. - You're going for Berkeley.
0:27:52 > 0:27:58- We've got Yale, Harvard, Princeton... Brown?- I don't know.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03- We'll go Brown.- Brown.- Brown. OK, we have Berkeley, we have Brown.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06Berkeley and Brown. Lynn and Neil said Berkeley.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09Let's see if it's right, and if so, how many people said Berkeley.
0:28:14 > 0:28:20Berkeley is an incorrect answer, I'm afraid.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22So, Imogen and Imelda, all you have to get
0:28:22 > 0:28:25is a correct answer at this stage to win the point.
0:28:25 > 0:28:30- Brown. How are you feeling now, Imogen?- Really, really, really not confident.
0:28:30 > 0:28:34- We should've just said Yale! - Yeah, we should've done!
0:28:34 > 0:28:40Too late now. You've gone Brown. Let's see. Is it right, and if it is, how many people said Brown.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42It just has to be right.
0:28:45 > 0:28:46Very well done. It's right.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53Very, very good.
0:28:57 > 0:29:01After the first question, it is one-nil to Imogen and Imelda.
0:29:01 > 0:29:05- Richard.- Let's look at all eight of them. At the bottom, University of Pennsylvania.
0:29:05 > 0:29:08There's Dartmouth College. They would've scored 2.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11Columbia University 4, Cornell University 5.
0:29:11 > 0:29:15There's Brown on 9, in Providence, Rhode Island.
0:29:15 > 0:29:19Princeton 20, Yale 46,
0:29:19 > 0:29:22and Harvard at the top on 56.
0:29:22 > 0:29:24Here is your second question.
0:29:24 > 0:29:28Lynn and Neil, you have to win this question to stay in the game.
0:29:28 > 0:29:31We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:29:31 > 0:29:37to name as many original euro currency countries as they could.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40Original euro currency countries. Richard.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43We're looking for any of the 11 countries
0:29:43 > 0:29:46that initially signed up to the euro in 1999, please.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48OK, thank you, very much.
0:29:48 > 0:29:52- Now then, Imogen and Imelda, you go first this time.- OK.- OK.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54THEY CONFER
0:29:56 > 0:30:00- OK.- Do you want to go with that? - Yep.- We'll say the Netherlands.
0:30:00 > 0:30:04The Netherlands. OK, you are saying the Netherlands.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06- Lynn and Neil, what are you going to give me?- Right, OK.
0:30:06 > 0:30:11So we've got France, Germany, Spain, Portugal...Belgium...
0:30:11 > 0:30:13Uh...
0:30:13 > 0:30:15Well, Italy, Greece...
0:30:16 > 0:30:20You have to win this question to stay in the game, remember, Lynn and Neil.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22We'll try Luxembourg.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24Luxembourg, you're going to say Luxembourg.
0:30:24 > 0:30:26We have the Netherlands and Luxembourg.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29Imogen and Imelda, you went with the Netherlands.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31Let's see if that is right, and, if it is,
0:30:31 > 0:30:34let's see how many people said the Netherlands.
0:30:37 > 0:30:38It's right.
0:30:40 > 0:30:41Oh, keep going, keep going.
0:30:41 > 0:30:4334.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46- APPLAUSE - 34.
0:30:48 > 0:30:52Lynn and Neil have gone with Luxembourg. Let's see if that is right.
0:30:52 > 0:30:57More crucially, let's see if it beats the Netherlands.
0:30:57 > 0:30:58How many people said Luxembourg?
0:31:00 > 0:31:01It's right.
0:31:05 > 0:31:06Yep, you're in the game.
0:31:06 > 0:31:0717.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09APPLAUSE
0:31:11 > 0:31:14Very, very, very, well said.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16So, after two questions, one apiece.
0:31:16 > 0:31:20Yeah, very, very well played, guys. You were almost out of that,
0:31:20 > 0:31:24- because I think you were going to say Greece at one point...- No, he was.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26..which is an incorrect answer.
0:31:26 > 0:31:30You were going to say Portugal, which would have scored more points.
0:31:30 > 0:31:35But you settled on one of the only three answers that would have beaten the Netherlands.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37Let's take a look at all the answers.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39Finland was the best score on the board, 8.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41It's the only score that would have beaten Luxembourg.
0:31:41 > 0:31:45Luxembourg 17. Austria 20, that's another one no-one mentioned.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48Netherlands 34, Republic of Ireland 43,
0:31:48 > 0:31:50Belgium 45.
0:31:50 > 0:31:54Then the top five. Portugal 45, Italy 72,
0:31:54 > 0:31:58Germany 82, Spain 91, and France at the top with 93.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02OK, thanks very much, Richard.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05Here is your third question, this is very important.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08Whoever wins this question is through to the final
0:32:08 > 0:32:11and will be playing for that £12,250 jackpot.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:32:13 > 0:32:18to name as many Narnia characters as they could.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21- Narnia characters. Richard. - Yes, specifically, we're looking for
0:32:21 > 0:32:24the names of any of the four Pevensie children
0:32:24 > 0:32:28- in The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe.- OK.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30Lynn and Neil, you answer first this time.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32HE LAUGHS
0:32:32 > 0:32:33Can you think?
0:32:33 > 0:32:35Narnia, hmm...
0:32:35 > 0:32:38OK, right, I've seen one of the films.
0:32:38 > 0:32:39Have you?
0:32:39 > 0:32:41- I hope you've seen them. - HE WHISPERS
0:32:44 > 0:32:45I don't know.
0:32:45 > 0:32:46I don't know, either.
0:32:46 > 0:32:48Shall we go with that?
0:32:48 > 0:32:49OK.
0:32:49 > 0:32:53Lynn and Neil, sounds like you've arrived at a name, anyway.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55We've just got a name, yes, plucked out of the air.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58- We're going to go with Peter.- Peter.
0:32:58 > 0:32:59OK, we have Peter.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02Imogen and Imelda, you can now speak up.
0:33:02 > 0:33:06We're really not sure, we just can't recall it at the moment,
0:33:06 > 0:33:08I think it's the nerves getting to us,
0:33:08 > 0:33:10but we're just going to go with Jane.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12- As we say, we're not sure.- Jane.
0:33:12 > 0:33:14So, we have Peter and Jane.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17Stars of the very first book I ever read.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19LAUGHTER
0:33:19 > 0:33:20OK, Peter and Jane.
0:33:20 > 0:33:26Lynn and Neil have plucked a name out of thin air - Peter.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28Let's see if that's correct, and if it is,
0:33:28 > 0:33:30let's see how many people said Peter.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34Very well done.
0:33:34 > 0:33:38Peter is the name of one of the characters in the Narnia books.
0:33:38 > 0:33:4021.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43APPLAUSE
0:33:43 > 0:33:45What about that?
0:33:47 > 0:33:51Imelda and Imogen - Jane.
0:33:51 > 0:33:53Let's see it Jane is correct, and if it is,
0:33:53 > 0:33:56let's see how many people said Jane.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03Bad luck, Imogen and Imelda.
0:34:03 > 0:34:07So, after three questions, Lynn and Neil are through to the final, 2-1.
0:34:07 > 0:34:11- Richard.- Yeah, it obviously stuck in there somewhere, at the back of the brain,
0:34:11 > 0:34:14that's a useful time to bring it out, I would say.
0:34:14 > 0:34:18Let's take a look at all four of them, see if any of them are familiar.
0:34:18 > 0:34:22It's Susan...on 15.
0:34:22 > 0:34:27Edmund 20, Peter there on 21 and Lucy at the top with 26.
0:34:27 > 0:34:31- Very well done if you got all of those at home.- Thank you very much.
0:34:31 > 0:34:37The losing pair at the end of the head-to-head is Imogen and Imelda. Well, how are you feeling?
0:34:37 > 0:34:39It's not for broadcast.
0:34:39 > 0:34:40LAUGHTER
0:34:44 > 0:34:47- Have you read the Narnia books? - Yeah, loads of times.
0:34:47 > 0:34:51- My mind just went completely blank. - Ah.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53You've been fantastic, an amazing pair.
0:34:53 > 0:34:57You've done a great job on both Pointless shows you've been on.
0:34:57 > 0:34:59I'm afraid this is where we say goodbye to you,
0:34:59 > 0:35:02- but brilliant contestants, thank you so much. - APPLAUSE
0:35:04 > 0:35:08But for Lynn and Neil it's now time for our Pointless final
0:35:08 > 0:35:12and the chance to win our jackpot of £12,250.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14APPLAUSE
0:35:19 > 0:35:22Well, congratulations, Lynn and Neil,
0:35:22 > 0:35:26you have seen off all the competition and won our coveted Pointless trophy, well done.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:35:35 > 0:35:38You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot.
0:35:38 > 0:35:43At the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £12,250.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:35:46 > 0:35:48The rules are very simple.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51To win, all you have to do is find a pointless answer,
0:35:51 > 0:35:53that none of our 100 people could think of.
0:35:53 > 0:35:56We've had one pointless answer on the show today,
0:35:56 > 0:36:00you only need to find one more now and you will go home with that money.
0:36:00 > 0:36:05First you've got to choose a category, and you can choose from these three options. Here we go.
0:36:12 > 0:36:13What do you think?
0:36:13 > 0:36:16Oh, dear.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19- Well, Literature's out. - Literature's definitely out.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22- World Geography... - I know loads about World Geography.
0:36:22 > 0:36:23- Do you?- Yeah, and you do.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26- Do I?- You've been abroad. - I've been abroad!
0:36:26 > 0:36:31Right, OK. The criteria for us doing this is that we've been abroad?
0:36:31 > 0:36:34World Geography. We'll go for World Geography.
0:36:34 > 0:36:35World Geography.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37Yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:36:37 > 0:36:40I'm not happy, but we'll go for it.
0:36:43 > 0:36:45Listen, Lynn, do you want to go for Music Awards?
0:36:45 > 0:36:47would you like to go for Music Awards?
0:36:47 > 0:36:51No, no, because I'll never hear the last of it, right?
0:36:52 > 0:36:55LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
0:36:55 > 0:36:57I will never hear the last of it.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59Right, it is World Geography?
0:36:59 > 0:37:00Yeah, it is, yeah.
0:37:00 > 0:37:02Let's find out what the...
0:37:02 > 0:37:03HE LAUGHS
0:37:03 > 0:37:06Let's find out what the question is. Best of luck, guys.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:37:08 > 0:37:12to name as many of the world's longest rivers as they could.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15- Richard.- Specifically, we're looking for the English name
0:37:15 > 0:37:18of any river or river system that is longer than the Danube.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21So the English name of any river or river system
0:37:21 > 0:37:27longer than 1,770 miles, according to the Encyclopaedia Britannica.
0:37:27 > 0:37:32OK, you now have up to one minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:32 > 0:37:35All you need to win that £12,250
0:37:35 > 0:37:38is for just one of those answers to be pointless.
0:37:38 > 0:37:40Your 60 seconds start now.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42Well...
0:37:42 > 0:37:43What do you think?
0:37:43 > 0:37:48I don't know, you said World Geography!
0:37:48 > 0:37:50The one that goes through Washington...
0:37:50 > 0:37:51Mississippi...
0:37:51 > 0:37:54Delaware...
0:37:54 > 0:37:56Potomac...
0:37:56 > 0:37:57That's a good one.
0:37:59 > 0:38:03But is it 1,700...you know.
0:38:03 > 0:38:08You've got the Amazon, the Nile, you've got, you know...
0:38:08 > 0:38:09You've got the Taff in Wales.
0:38:09 > 0:38:10The Taff!
0:38:12 > 0:38:14- The what?- The Yellow River.
0:38:14 > 0:38:15Yellow River?
0:38:15 > 0:38:18OK, so we've got to get three, right?
0:38:18 > 0:38:20So, shall we say the Potomac?
0:38:20 > 0:38:23- I don't know if the Potomac's long though.- Well, neither do I.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25- Mississippi?- Yeah.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28- OK, and what else?- Hudson?
0:38:28 > 0:38:31Hudson River... Hmm, I don't know. No, don't think so.
0:38:31 > 0:38:32Mississippi, Yellow...
0:38:32 > 0:38:35Yellow River, yeah.
0:38:35 > 0:38:37Five seconds...
0:38:37 > 0:38:41Potomac - you said it goes through Washington.
0:38:41 > 0:38:43OK, that is your minute up.
0:38:43 > 0:38:46We were looking for the world's longest rivers,
0:38:46 > 0:38:48I now need three answers from you.
0:38:48 > 0:38:52We'll go for Mississippi...
0:38:52 > 0:38:54The Mississippi.
0:38:55 > 0:38:59- The second answer we'll go for, you said the Yellow River. - Yellow River.
0:38:59 > 0:39:02- The Yellow River.- I thought it was a song.- That's Moon River.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04Oh, right, OK.
0:39:04 > 0:39:05And the third answer...
0:39:05 > 0:39:09We will go for the Potomac.
0:39:09 > 0:39:10OK, the Potomac.
0:39:10 > 0:39:12Now then, of those three,
0:39:12 > 0:39:15which do you think is your best shot at a pointless answer?
0:39:16 > 0:39:18Yellow, probably.
0:39:18 > 0:39:19Yeah.
0:39:19 > 0:39:21OK, Yellow we will put up last.
0:39:21 > 0:39:25- Which should we put up first, your least confident? - Mississippi - no, the Potomac.
0:39:25 > 0:39:27Potomac, Mississippi, Yellow River.
0:39:27 > 0:39:29We'll put them on the board in that order.
0:39:35 > 0:39:36There they are.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39We were looking for the world's longest rivers.
0:39:39 > 0:39:41This was your least confident answer.
0:39:41 > 0:39:44You only have to find one pointless answer, remember,
0:39:44 > 0:39:46to win that £12,250 jackpot.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48So, let's see if the Potomac is right,
0:39:48 > 0:39:53and if it is, let's see how many people said it - the Potomac.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00Bad luck, bad luck.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02That is an incorrect answer.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04So, not a pointless answer.
0:40:04 > 0:40:07You only have two more chances to win today's jackpot.
0:40:07 > 0:40:11£12,250 - what would you do with that?
0:40:12 > 0:40:13Las Vegas.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16I'd give some to my children...
0:40:18 > 0:40:21Well, I'd give some to my...
0:40:21 > 0:40:23I'd obviously give some to my children!
0:40:23 > 0:40:26APPLAUSE
0:40:26 > 0:40:29We are looking for the world's longest rivers.
0:40:29 > 0:40:32Your next answer, the Mississippi.
0:40:32 > 0:40:33This has to be correct,
0:40:33 > 0:40:38and it has to go all the way down to zero for you to win that jackpot.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41Good luck. Mississippi.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46It's right.
0:40:46 > 0:40:50It is a correct answer, down it comes.
0:40:50 > 0:40:52This has to go all the way down to zero... Oh.
0:40:52 > 0:40:56APPLAUSE
0:41:00 > 0:41:0339 for Mississippi, so not a pointless answer.
0:41:03 > 0:41:05But it was right.
0:41:05 > 0:41:08You only have one more chance to win today's jackpot.
0:41:08 > 0:41:13We are looking for the world's longest rivers. The Yellow River,
0:41:13 > 0:41:16this was the answer you had the most faith in to be pointless.
0:41:16 > 0:41:21It has to be pointless if you're going to win that jackpot, £12,250.
0:41:21 > 0:41:22Let us see if it is a correct answer,
0:41:22 > 0:41:26and if it is, let's see how many people said the Yellow River.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29This is your last chance, so the very, very best of luck.
0:41:29 > 0:41:30The Yellow River.
0:41:32 > 0:41:34It's right.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37We went down to 39 with Mississippi.
0:41:37 > 0:41:41There's £12,250 riding on this.
0:41:41 > 0:41:43If this goes all the way down to zero...
0:41:43 > 0:41:44Oh!
0:41:46 > 0:41:49- APPLAUSE - Single figures!
0:41:49 > 0:41:50Not bad.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52That was a great answer.
0:41:55 > 0:41:59Unfortunately, you didn't manage to find that all-important pointless answer,
0:41:59 > 0:42:04so I'm afraid you don't win today's record-equalling jackpot of £12,250,
0:42:04 > 0:42:06which rolls over onto the next show.
0:42:06 > 0:42:08But you have been fantastic contestants
0:42:08 > 0:42:11and you do get to take home our Pointless trophy, so...
0:42:11 > 0:42:13- Thank you.- Very well done.
0:42:13 > 0:42:15APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:42:19 > 0:42:21So, Richard.
0:42:21 > 0:42:25Yeah, very tough luck, guys, and if any of Neil's relatives are watching,
0:42:25 > 0:42:29will you just let us know he gets home safely?
0:42:29 > 0:42:31Let's take a look at the pointless answers here.
0:42:31 > 0:42:34There's a couple of rivers I suspect people may have got at home.
0:42:34 > 0:42:39The Amur-Shilka, which forms part of the border between Russia and China.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42The Mackenzie-Peace-Finlay, which is in Canada.
0:42:42 > 0:42:46The Madeira river, which is a major tributary of the Amazon.
0:42:46 > 0:42:52The Purus, which rises in Peru, the Sao Francisco in Brazil,
0:42:52 > 0:42:56and the Yukon there, possibly the best known of the pointless answers,
0:42:56 > 0:42:59which goes from Canada through Alaska and into the Bering Sea.
0:42:59 > 0:43:02Hopefully none of those were on the tip of your tongue.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04No, no.
0:43:04 > 0:43:06Well, that's a relief, at least.
0:43:06 > 0:43:09Unfortunately, we do have to say goodbye to you, Lynn and Neil,
0:43:09 > 0:43:13but it has been brilliant having you on the show, extremely good fun.
0:43:13 > 0:43:15Thank you both so much for playing, thank you.
0:43:15 > 0:43:17APPLAUSE
0:43:19 > 0:43:22So, nobody won our jackpot today, so it rolls over,
0:43:22 > 0:43:29which means, on the next show, we'll be playing for our highest ever total of £13,250.
0:43:29 > 0:43:32APPLAUSE
0:43:32 > 0:43:33Join us to see if someone can win it.
0:43:33 > 0:43:35- It's goodbye from Richard... - Goodbye.
0:43:35 > 0:43:37And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
