Episode 44 Pointless

APPLAUSE

Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong and a warm welcome to Pointless

where popular answers mean nothing and obscure answers mean everything.

Let's meet today's players.

APPLAUSE

First, we welcome Scott and Kerri. You're our first pair on the show. How do you two know each other?

We met on a motorcycle site on the internet.

We'd spoken before online, but we first met at a fancy dress party.

-What were you dressed as, Kerri?

-Army girl.

-An army girl?

-Yes.

-Any particular army girl?

-No, just a general army girl.

-Just a general?

-LAUGHTER

-A general...army girl?

I have to say, Kerri, it's literally the worst camouflage I have ever seen.

I didn't have this colour hair then.

What's your specialist areas? Motorcycles, clearly?

-Uh... Yes.

-Yes.

For me, films.

-Films? What kinds of films?

-All sorts of films.

All sorts of films. Kerri?

-Probably television or vampires.

-Best of luck to the pair of you. It's brilliant to have you here.

Next, we welcome Kate and Jim. How do you two know each other?

We met about, um...about 30 years ago, just very briefly,

then didn't see each other for about five years, then met again about 25 years ago.

Then said goodbye and met again about two days after that...

No, he kind of hung around and, um...

LAUGHTER

And we married three years ago.

Wow! This is more of a tale of persistence than romance by the sound of things,

-but I'm sure she's painting a very unfavourable picture.

-Absolutely. She married me for my money.

LAUGHTER

That might be true! Very best of luck to the pair of you.

Next, we welcome back John and Roger.

Everyone gets two chances to reach the Pointless final. Remind us how you did.

We got to the head-to-head which was a great surprise.

-It was a tough head-to-head, that one.

-All to do with "pawn".

Ultimately, to do with...

-LAUGHTER

-To do with chess pieces, Roger. Chess pieces!

-And we failed.

-You were beaten by "pawn".

-Yes.

Beaten by "pawn".

-John, what are you hoping will come up this afternoon?

-We haven't had any sport yet.

No, so that could easily come up.

Roger, how about you?

I'd like sport, but I'd also like the human body.

LAUGHTER

Floored, absolutely floored! I have no comeback to that. Very best of luck.

Finally, we've got Orla and Becs. How do you two know each other?

-We've been confused as sisters.

-You're not sisters?

-No, we're friends.

I've done it again. I've joined the list of people who have confused you as sisters.

We're just friends. We met through our boyfriends who live together and now we live together.

-Orla, what do you do?

-I work in marketing. More specifically, on music festivals, mostly.

-Probably the most fun marketing there is to work on.

-Perhaps.

-Do you spend much time on site?

-I do. My summers are completely filled with festivals.

-Fantastic.

-Everyone imagines you're having a whale of a time.

-That's the problem. I'm missing out on all kinds of fun.

-Becs, what do you do?

-I am primarily a food writer, but I'm also a plus-size model too.

Very exciting indeed. But a food writer, do you write freelance?

-Yes.

-Do you go to restaurants and take photographs of everything you eat?

-Yes.

-Do you do a food blog?

-I do.

Do you do a food blog?

Occasionally, if I've had a bad curry.

Yeah, yeah. Whose idea was it to come on the show, Becs?

-Both of ours, really.

-Oh, good.

-So neither one of you...

-No blame.

We will find out more about all of you throughout the show.

There's only one person left to introduce. In the land of obscurity, he's king of all he surveys.

-He's my pointless friend. He's Richard.

-Hiya.

APPLAUSE

It should be a great show today. We've only got one returning pair, but they did well, John and Roger.

A very, very strong pair. And of course, our big jackpot still remains.

-It's the biggest jackpot ever on Pointless.

-Terrifying sum of money.

We now have armed guards round the back of the studio to guard that sort of money.

We put our questions to 100 people before the show, but we are after the obscure answers they didn't get.

Of course, everyone is trying to find a pointless answer.

Each time that happens, we add £250 to the jackpot.

As Richard says, nobody won the jackpot last time, so we add another £1,000 to that,

so today's jackpot starts off at £14,750.

APPLAUSE

Right, let's play Pointless.

In the first round, each of you must give me one answer and you cannot confer with your partner.

Whichever team has the highest score at the end of the round will be eliminated.

Our first category this afternoon is...

Celebrities.

Can you decide in your pairs who's going first, who's going second?

Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

OK, let's find out what the question is.

We gave 100 people 100 seconds

to name as many Famous Foodies as they could.

Famous Foodies. Richard?

The correct answers in this round will be celebrity chefs or cooks

who have appeared on TV in their own show or in food-related programmes.

OK, thank you very much. Scott and Kerri, you all drew lots before the show and you get to go first.

In this round, you'll be relieved to hear, we'll give you a choice of seven possible answers in each pass.

Phew!

The first set of seven answers reads like this. Here we go.

I'll read those names one more time.

At least one of those answers is pointless.

Be very careful, though, because there is also at least one incorrect answer on that board.

If you pick one, you score 100 points.

Now then, Kerri, do you watch a lot of food programmes on telly?

-Some.

-Do you watch enough to recognise all the names behind me?

I think I recognise four, maybe five.

I'm not sure it's his surname, but I'm going to risk it anyway.

Um... Simon Rimmer?

Simon Rimmer. Is that a correct answer?

If it is, let's see how many people said it. Good luck, Kerri.

It's right. Very well done.

Simon Rimmer is right and it's going a long way down.

Very well done. Look at that.

-Well done, Kerri!

-APPLAUSE

That's a pointless answer. It adds £250 to today's jackpot, taking the total up to £15,000.

It scores you absolutely nothing. Very well done, Kerri. Richard?

Well played, Kerri. What a start!

He's the resident cook on Something For The Weekend.

-OK, Kate...

-Yes.

-I said there was at least one pointless answer on that board.

-There might very easily be another.

-Right.

How familiar are you with the world of celebrity cooks?

Not very, but I'm happy with four of those celebrity foodies.

And I'm going to choose Antonio Carluccio.

Antonio Carluccio.

OK, let's see if that's a correct answer and if it is, how many people said Antonio Carluccio.

Yes, of course, that's right.

Down it comes.

1!

-APPLAUSE

-That's a great score, Kate.

Very well done. Antonio Carluccio, just one point, Richard.

Well played, Kate. First came to the UK in 1975, Antonio Carluccio, as a wine merchant.

Very well done, Kate. Roger, we are looking for famous foodies.

-Do you watch food on telly? Do you watch people making food on telly?

-No.

-Ah!

But I'll go for my nickname - Andrew Nutter.

You're going to go for Andrew Nutter. Why do people call you Andrew?

I don't know. LAUGHTER

How bizarre! Let's see if it's a correct answer and if it is, how many people said Andrew Nutter.

It's right.

It's right.

Oh, very well done.

APPLAUSE

Very well done. That's a pointless answer.

It adds £250 to today's jackpot, taking the total up to £15,250.

And it scores you nothing. Very well done, Roger.

-Andrew Nutter, Richard?

-Yeah, what a round! It's an unusual surname. I thought it was a spelling mistake.

I said to the researcher, "I can't believe it's not Butter!"

LAUGHTER

But yeah, Andrew Nutter, a TV chef.

Now then, we come to Becs.

I'm afraid slim pickings left for you, Becs, our bona fide foodie up there.

Well, Ainsley Harriott, obviously, Jamie Oliver and James Martin.

William Taft is the wrong answer.

So... Hmm, I'll go with James Martin,

the most obscure out of the three.

You're hoping to score as few points as possible, but that's probably the best you can get out of what's left.

Let's see if James Martin is right and if it is, let's see how many people said James Martin.

It's right.

Not bad at all - 10.

-APPLAUSE

-That's not bad.

-James Martin scores you 10 points. Richard?

-Well played, Becs. That was the best you could have done.

James Martin does Saturday Kitchen amongst many other things.

Let's go through the rest of the board.

Jamie Oliver is a big scorer, but only 69, lower than you might think.

Ainsley Harriott, also a celebrity chef, 31.

William Taft is the incorrect answer there. He was the fattest ever President of America.

Thanks very much. Let's take a look at the scores as they stand.

Well, my word, not one, but two pointless answers! Kerri and Scott and Roger and John on nothing.

Then we come to Kate and Jim on 1, just narrowly ahead.

Quite a long way ahead, but still on a wonderfully low score is Becs.

Orla, the pressure is on you. You'll have to find a really obscure answer on the next pass.

Can the second players please take their places at the podium?

We'll put seven more answers on the board. We are looking for famous foodies.

Here we are, we have got...

I'm going to read those one more time.

Again at least one of those answers is pointless, but at least one of them is incorrect.

Try and avoid those at all costs. Now then, Orla, the moment of truth.

-You're on 10 points. You're the high scorers at this stage.

-Yes.

-What are you thinking?

-There are three up there that I recognise.

There's one name that I think could potentially be a chef, so I'm going to have to guess with that

and go with Anjum Anand.

Oh, I so wanted you to say Buddy Bear!

Anjum Anand...

Let's see if it's right and if it is, let's see how many people said it - Anjum Anand.

It's right. Very well done.

Very well done. Down it comes.

Oh, very well done indeed, Orla! That's exactly what it needed to be.

That's a pointless answer. It adds £250 to today's jackpot.

It takes the total up to £15,500.

Best and most importantly of all, it scores you nothing, leaving your total at 10. Well done. Richard?

Very well played, Orla. That's £750 added in this round alone.

She's presented a couple of BBC-2 series, Anjum Anand - Indian Food Made Easy and Healthy Indian Food.

-Fantastic. A great answer. Now then, John.

-I've been looking at that. There are some obvious ones.

A couple I'm totally not sure of. I'm going to go for Nigel Slater.

You're going to go for Nigel Slater. The high scorers at the moment are Orla and Becs on 10.

You have to score 9 or less to avoid overtaking them.

There is your red line.

Let's see if Nigel Slater can get you down below that red line.

First, let's see if it's correct and if it is, let's see how many people said Nigel Slater.

Well, he's right.

Oh, you're through!

-7 points for Nigel Slater.

-APPLAUSE

Great answer. It leaves you a total of 7. Richard?

Well done, John. Nigel Slater, food writer and presenter and cook and all-round foodie.

Now then, Jim, Kate did fantastically well with Antonio Carluccio in the first pass.

She won you a low total of 1. The high scorers remain Orla and Becs on 10.

If you can score 8 or less with this answer, you are through to the next round.

I'm distraught because the only ones I recognise are going to be high scorers,

so I'm just going to have to take a big chance and go for Buddy Bear.

I'm so pleased someone's going for Buddy Bear. Kate is less pleased that it's you.

Buddy Bear, OK, let's see if it's a correct answer and if it is, let's see how many people said Buddy Bear.

There is your red line. If you get below that red line,

you are through to the next round. Is it right and if it is, how many people said it - Buddy Bear?

Bad luck. I'm afraid Buddy Bear is an incorrect answer.

That scores you the maximum of 100 points, Jim,

and takes your total up to an unbeatable 101. Richard?

Sorry, Jim. Worth the risk though. Buddy Bear is the name of Jamie Oliver's son.

Buddy Bear Maurice Oliver.

LAUGHTER

-Scott...

-Yes.

-I tell you what.

You are through to the next round.

You can have as much fun as you like with this board.

The three obvious ones are Nigella Lawson,

Gordon Ramsay and Delia Smith.

So I'm guessing that Arnold Bennett is probably the other answer,

if it's not a wrong answer.

Let's see if it's right and if it is, let's see how many people said Arnold Bennett.

Bad luck, an incorrect answer.

But it doesn't matter. You're through to the next round.

Arnold Bennett is incorrect and scores you 100 points, leaving you with a total of 100. Richard?

The Arnold Bennett is an omelette you can eat at the Savoy, named after the novelist Arnold Bennett.

Let's go through the rest of the board. Gordon Ramsay, far and away the top answer here.

His profile is so high. 72, he would have scored.

Nigella Lawson, a right answer as well, would have scored you 30,

and Delia Smith, surprisingly low, 26 points.

Thanks, Richard. So at the end of Round 1, the losing pair with the highest score, it's Kate and Jim.

Kate, how long will it take you to forgive Jim?

Some time.

It's been great having you on the show. We look forward to having you back next time. Thanks for playing.

APPLAUSE

But for the remaining three pairs, it's now time for Round 2.

Only two pairs can make it through to the head-to-head, so one team will leave us after this round.

Our category for Round 2 is...

Film. Can you all decide who's going first and who's going second?

Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.

OK, our Round 2 question concerns...

Film Quotes And Their Films.

We're about to show you a list of famous lines from films.

We asked 100 people to tell us which film each quote comes from. Richard?

We'll show you six quotes on each pass. The more obscure ones score you fewer points.

If you give us an incorrect answer, you score 100 points.

There's 12 in all. See how many you can get at home.

Thanks very much, Richard. We are looking for the film that each of these famous quotes comes from.

And we have got...

I'll read those one more time.

-OK, now, Scott...

-Yes.

-You said you were a film buff.

-Yes, I am, yes.

-Are you still happy to stand by that?

-Yes.

-Very good.

I'm going to go for, "If you build it, he will come."

And the film is Field Of Dreams.

Field Of Dreams. Well done. Let's see if that's right and if it is,

how many people said Field of Dreams for, "If you build it, he will come."

Very well done, Scott.

I have a feeling this will go quite a long way down.

There we are, 16. Not bad at all.

-APPLAUSE

-Not a bad answer. Field Of Dreams, Richard?

Yeah, well played, Scott, Kevin Costner in Field Of Dreams.

Very good. Field Of Dreams, Scott. Not a bad answer at all.

John, there are some famous lines on the board behind me, all of them from films.

You have to find the most obscure film and get it right.

I think I recognise about one and a half!

I'm going to go for,

"My pupils are the creme de la creme" from The Prime Of Miss Jean Brodie.

The Prime Of Miss Jean Brodie you are saying.

Let's see if The Prime Of Miss Jean Brodie is right

and if it is, how many people said it.

Well done, John. That's right.

Down it goes.

23.

APPLAUSE

-23 for The Prime Of Miss Jean Brodie. Surprisingly high score.

-Yeah, a very well-known film.

Maggie Smith, of course, won an Oscar for the role of Miss Jean Brodie herself.

Very good. Now then, Becs...

-Once again, you have a slightly depleted board to choose from.

-Yeah.

-Talk us through the films that remain.

-Dirty Dancing for "Nobody puts Baby in a corner",

Titanic for "I'm the king of the world!" and The Shining for "Here's Johnny!"

The Shining is probably the most known,

so it's between Titanic and Dirty Dancing.

I'm going to go for Dirty Dancing

in the hope that the men of those that were asked probably don't know that.

Let's see if "Nobody puts Baby in a corner" is right for Dirty Dancing

and how many people knew that answer. Good luck, Becs.

It's right.

-APPLAUSE

-41.

41 for Dirty Dancing. Richard?

Biggest score on the board. Voted one of the 100 greatest movie quotes by the American Film Institute.

Let's see what the others would have scored you.

"Here's Johnny!" wasn't far behind, from The Shining. It scored 37.

-"Hang on a minute, lads, I've got a great idea."

-Italian Job.

Yeah, the end. 26 points. And, "I'm the king of the world!" is Titanic and was 19 points.

Field of Dreams was the best answer.

OK, let's take a look at the scores as they stand.

On 16, Scott and Kerri. Great answer.

Then we come up a little bit to 23 for John and Roger.

And then a little bit ahead on the high score, Becs and Orla.

Orla, you'll have the pick of the board.

-Did it last time.

-You did it fantastically last time.

-How good's your film knowledge?

-Awful. Absolutely awful. Film and TV is not good for me.

OK, good luck with that. Can the second players please take their places at the podium?

OK, we'll put six more famous lines from films on the board. Here we go.

-We have got...

-HE READS THE LIST

I will read those one more time.

We are looking for the film that each quote comes from.

You, Orla, are looking for the one that the fewest people knew.

OK, I think I recognise two of them. They're probably the ones with the highest answers,

but I have no idea of the others so I'll have to go for,

"I'll have what she's having." I think that's When Harry Met Sally.

"I'll have what she's having," from When Harry Met Sally.

You are the high scorers so there's no red line. You're saying, "I'll have what she's having."

Let's see if that's right and how many said it.

It's right.

35 that scores you.

That takes your total up to 76.

76.

Well done, Orla. You may have kept yourself in the round. From 1989.

Thanks very much, Richard. Now, Roger...

Last time I went to a film was Patton in 1987.

I've really got no idea, but I'm going for a guess.

The only one I can think that may have a glimmer of hope is, "Made it, Ma! Top of the world!"

I think that may come from Clint Eastwood's Any Which Way You Can.

"Made it, Ma! Top of the world." Any Which Way You Can you are saying.

"Made it, Ma! Top of the world!" Let's see if that's right.

There is your red line. If Any Which Way You Can takes you below that,

you are through. Let's see if Any Which Way You Can is right

and how many people said it if so.

Ohh! Bad luck, Roger. I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer.

You score the maximum of 100 points. That takes your total up to 123. Richard?

Yes, I won't give you the right answer in case Kerri wants a go.

Now then, Kerri, the great news is you are through to the Head to Head.

You'll never overtake Roger and John's score of 123.

-There's only two I know for sure.

-And they are?

-"We're not in Kansas anymore," which is Wizard of Oz.

But I'll go for, "You can't handle the truth." That's A Few Good Men.

OK, you are saying A Few Good Men.

Let's see if that's right and how many people said A Few Good Men.

Well done.

Very well done, indeed. 15. That takes you up to 31.

-So, Richard, "You can't handle the truth."

-Spoken very menacingly by Jack Nicholson

in A Few Good Men. Very good.

Let's look at the rest of the board. "We're not in Kansas anymore," is the Wizard of Oz.

It would have scored 46 points.

"Tomorrow is another day"? It's the very last line of Gone With The Wind. It scored 19.

"They call me Mr Tibbs"? It's from In The Heat of The Night. It scored 10.

And, "Made it, Ma! Top of the world!" is the best answer - 3. Jimmy Cagney, but in what film?

-White Heat.

-Exactly right. 3 points.

Thank you, Richard. At the end of Round Two, the losing pair, I'm afraid it's John and Roger.

-Never mind.

-It's such a shame to say goodbye. Thank you, brilliant.

But for the remaining two pairs it gets even more exciting as we enter the Head to Head.

Very, very well done, Orla and Becs, Scott and Kerri.

Only one pair can make it through to the final to play for the jackpot

which currently stands at £15,500.

You'll now go head to head on the best of three questions.

Each pair needs to give me one answer and you're allowed to confer.

Come up with an answer that scores less than the other pair to win that question.

The first pair to the best of three will play for the massive jackpot.

Let's play Pointless.

Here is your first question. Good luck, both pairs.

We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many countries ending in L

as they could. Countries ending in L. Richard?

We're looking for any country whose English name ends in an L.

And by country we mean a sovereign state which is a UN member.

-See how many you get at home.

-Thanks, Richard. Orla and Becs, you get to go first.

We're looking for countries that end in L.

All we can think of, it's probably the most well-known, is Brazil.

OK, Brazil from Orla and Becs. Brazil. Scott and Kerri?

Yeah, we think we're going to go for Senegal.

Senegal, you're saying. Orla and Becs, Brazil. Scott and Kerri, Senegal.

Let's take them in that order. Brazil - is that right and how many people said it?

57.

That's a high scorer. Scott and Kerri have gone with Senegal.

Let's see if that's right and how many people said Senegal.

Well done. It's right.

Yep. Senegal pips Brazil.

Down it goes to 16.

So after our first question, Scott and Kerri are up one-nil. Richard...

Well played, Scott and Kerri. It's the best answer.

If you've got five on your list, you've got all of them. Let's take a look at them.

Senegal, 16. Israel, 31.

Nepal, 32. Portugal, 46.

And you're quite right, Orla and Becs, Brazil was top with 57.

Thanks very much, Richard. Here is your second question. Orla and Becs, you have to win it

to stay in the game.

£15,500 could be riding on it. OK, here we go.

We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many Scottish Premier League football clubs as they could.

-Scottish Premier League football clubs. Richard?

-Any of the 12 teams in the Scottish Premier League

in the 2010-2011 season.

OK, now then, Scott and Kerri, you go first this time.

OK... Oh, dear, Kerri.

We're going to try to stay away from the most obvious ones so Motherwell.

Motherwell. OK, Motherwell.

Orla and Becs, if you were thinking of Motherwell, it's gone!

Em...

-We've got Dundee, Aberdeen...

-Scottish towns, basically.

-Rangers. Glasgow Rangers.

-Shall we go for that?

-It's really obvious.

-Is it called Glasgow Rangers?

-Yes.

-Glasgow Rangers.

-You're going to go for Rangers.

OK. You have to win this question to stay in the game.

Scott and Kerri have gone for Motherwell. Orla and Becs are going for Rangers.

Let's take them in order.

Kerri and Scott, if you win this you are through to the final

and will be playing for that £15,500 jackpot.

Motherwell. Is it right and how many people said it?

It's right.

21.

-Orla and Becs are saying Rangers.

-Yeah.

Let's find out if it's right and, if it is, how many people said it. Rangers.

It's right.

Oh, dear!

I'm afraid that is a high, high score as you thought it would be,

which means after two questions Scott and Kerri are straight through to the final. Richard?

Yes, very well played. A number of answers would have beaten Motherwell. Dundee United.

Dundee wouldn't have beaten it, but Dundee United would.

Let's look at all the names. St Johnstone at the bottom on 6.

Inverness Caledonian Thistle on 10. They were the subject of a famous newspaper sports headline.

-Exactly, yes.

-They beat Celtic 3-1 and it was a big shock. Know it?

Super Caley Go Ballistic Celtic Are Atrocious.

-Exactly right.

-Fantastic.

-LAUGHTER

They're now in the Premier League. Kilmarnock 11, Hamilton 13, Dundee United on 16,

St Mirren on 18,

Motherwell 21, Hearts 26, Hibernian 31,

Aberdeen, which you also said, 40.

Then there's Rangers, 74, and Celtic, 77.

Thanks very much, Richard. So the losing pair is Orla and Becs.

Bad luck. Two very, very tough categories for you in that.

-Yes.

-It's been a great show You've done very well.

-And those countries ending in L!

-Yeah.

Geography and sports. Probably our two worst!

Well, what a great shame to say goodbye, but we'll see you again next time. Great contestants.

Thanks so much for coming.

But for Scott and Kerri, it's our Pointless final and the chance to win our jackpot of £15,500.

Wow. Congratulations, Scott and Kerri. You've seen off the competition and won our trophy.

You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot

and at the end of today's show the jackpot stands at a record-breaking £15,500.

The rules are very simple. To win that money, all you have to do is find a pointless answer.

-We've had three pointless answers today. You gave us one in the first round with Simon Rimmer.

-Yes.

Just find one more now and you go home with that money. First, choose a category from these options.

Hollywood Legends, MPs, Musical Theatre.

-What do you think?

-Discount MPs straight away!

-Definitely!

-Hollywood Legends is quite a broad subject.

-So is Musical Theatre. What if it's one we've not seen?

This is a good point.

-Hollywood Legends?

-Yes, go on.

-Hollywood Legends.

-You're going to go Hollywood Legends.

-You're quite good on your film.

-Quite good.

-I'm hoping!

What would be your favourite category within Hollywood Legends?

I don't know... Films from the last 20 years.

-Contemporary films rather than older films.

-I see.

OK. Well, good luck. Let's find out what that question is. Here we go.

We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many Marlon Brando films as they could.

Marlon Brando films. Richard?

Any feature film made for cinema release for which Marlon Brando got an acting credit.

Voice performances count, but not TV films, documentaries or short films.

-Any feature film made for cinema release for which Marlon Brando received an acting credit.

-OK.

Very best of luck. You now have up to one minute to come up with three answers.

All you need to win that £15,500 is for just one of those answers to be pointless.

I'll remind you to speak up. Your 60 seconds start now.

-OK, there's the obvious ones which are On The Waterfront, Last Tango In Paris...

-Do speak up.

-What about The Freshman?

-That's a very good answer.

There's another one, The Island of Dr Moreau.

-Yeah.

-Go for that one as well. So The Freshman...

-Has he not done a voice for an animation recently?

Well, not recently...

Not as far as I know. I don't know if you know any different.

-I thought he was in that one with the fish.

-That was Martin Scorsese.

-Oh, right, OK.

-Island of Dr Moreau, The Freshman, which is quite a good one.

-Yeah.

I can't think of any others other than obvious ones.

-Go for an obvious one, then.

-OK.

-On The Waterfront.

-OK.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

-OK.

-You've got your three. We'll stop the clock. Eight seconds in hand.

OK, you've arrived at three answers. Marlon Brando films.

-Tell me what those three answers are.

-OK, our three films are On The Waterfront.

-On The Waterfront.

-The Island of Dr Moreau.

-The Island of Dr Moreau.

-And The Freshman.

-The Freshman.

I think I can probably guess which order you'd like,

-but which of those is your best shot at a pointless answer?

-The Island of Dr Moreau.

-OK.

-Which do you think is your least likely?

-On The Waterfront.

Yeah, OK. That's your least likely shot at a pointless answer.

Let's put those up on the board in that order. On The Waterfront,

The Freshman and The Island of Dr Moreau. There they are.

Marlon Brando films.

This is your least confident answer.

You only need to find one pointless answer to win our jackpot of £15,500.

Let's see how many people said On The Waterfront.

This will be quite useful to gauge how much our 100 people know about Marlon Brando films.

On The Waterfront.

Let's see if it's right and how many people said it.

There we are. It's right.

It's right, which is the first thing it has to be. The second thing it has to be is pointless.

There it goes into the teens... Into single figures! Nine people.

Nine?

Nine people said On The Waterfront. Probably one of his most famous roles.

-Yeah.

-Only nine people said it.

-Makes me hopeful for the...

-It makes me very hopeful.

But it's not a pointless answer. We knew it wasn't.

You only have two more chances. We're now into the serious bit.

Your two best answers.

What would you do with £15,500?

-Maybe replace my old car.

-Replace your old car.

-Yeah.

-What happened to your old car?

-It's rubbish.

-It's still going?

-It's still going, but barely.

-Well, we are looking for Marlon Brando films.

Let's hope nobody said your next answer. The Freshman.

This has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot of £15,500.

Let's see if it's right and, if it is, how many people said it. The Freshman.

It is right.

Your first answer, On The Waterfront, went down to nine.

This is your second shot.

It has to go down to pointless.

Oh!

Unbelievable.

-Oh!

-I hate that person. LAUGHTER

You were just one person away

from the jackpot of £15,500 just then.

-It was a brilliant answer. The Freshman.

-It was.

Unfortunately, not pointless. You only have one more chance to win today's jackpot.

We're looking for a pointless answer to Marlon Brando films.

This was the answer you had the most faith in. This was the one you were most confident about.

It has to be pointless for you to win that jackpot of £15,500.

Let's see if it's right and how many people said it. Very best of luck, Scott and Kerri.

It's right.

There's £15,500 riding on this.

Our biggest ever jackpot.

-Can you win it? Down it goes...

-Yes!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Ah, very well done. Come here.

-Oh, my God!

-Brilliant.

Brilliant answer. Well done.

Whoa!

Wowee. Congratulations. You managed to find that answer

and go home with our record-breaking jackpot of £15,500!

Very, very well done.

-Well, Richard...

-How about that? Well done, guys. Scott, you said you knew films.

From 1996, The Island of Dr Moreau. A very troubled production

and Marlon Brando won the Golden Raspberry for Worst Supporting Actor.

Let's look at the other pointless answers. I know you don't care!

A Dry White Season was pointless, Bedtime Story,

Christopher Columbus, where he played Torquemada and got 5 million.

That was pointless. Guys and Dolls, where he played Sky Masterson.

The Brave, The Chase, also a pointless answer, a Western with Robert Redford.

A few more - The Countess From Hong Kong, The Island of Dr Moreau, your new favourite film,

and his final film, The Score. Very well done, guys. Brilliant.

Wonderful, fantastic.

A very worthy win. Thanks once again to our winning players, Scott and Kerri,

who go away with the record-breaking jackpot of £15,500.

CHEERING

-Join us next time to put more obscure knowledge to the test. It's goodbye from Richard...

-Bye.

And goodbye from me. Goodbye.
