0:00:18 > 0:00:20CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Thank you. Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong.
0:00:26 > 0:00:29A very warm welcome to Pointless, the quiz where the lowest scorers
0:00:29 > 0:00:33are the biggest winners. Let's meet today's players.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40First we welcome William and Suzanne.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42You are our first pair on the show today.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45- How do you two know each other? - This is my younger brother,
0:00:45 > 0:00:48and we're from Duns in the Scottish Borders.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50- What do you do, William? - I'm a sheep farmer.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54See, we haven't had nearly enough sheep farmers on the show.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57I think that may be our first.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00- At this time of year, we're lucky to get you.- Just squeezed in.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04You're going to be up all hours, aren't you, for the next few months.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07- Suzanne, what do you do? - I'm a tennis coach.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10Oh, that's... We haven't had one of those either!
0:01:10 > 0:01:12This is awesome.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15The sheep-farmer/tennis-coach combo, that's just...
0:01:15 > 0:01:18- You've just got everything covered. - THEY LAUGH
0:01:18 > 0:01:21That's amazing. And is that a year-round coaching job?
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Yes. I try to keep it year-round. It's sometimes tricky
0:01:24 > 0:01:27during the winter months, but we do our best to keep going
0:01:27 > 0:01:30in the cold and the not-very-nice weather.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34Yeah, I bet. What do you do when you're not working, William?
0:01:34 > 0:01:38Play a lot of sport, a bit of tennis, a bit of curling.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40LAUGHTER
0:01:40 > 0:01:43- Richard!- This is the pair that keep on giving, isn't it?
0:01:43 > 0:01:46- This is awesome. - They're ticking all the boxes
0:01:46 > 0:01:50- that are so far unticked. - I bet Suzanne's been on the moon.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52- THEY LAUGH - It's wonderful to have you here.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56Very best of luck. Enjoy the show. Next we welcome back Ian and Jayne.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59You were on the show last time. Everyone gets two chances
0:01:59 > 0:02:02to reach the final. This is your last chance.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04- Remind us how you did. - We reached the head to head.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08Unfortunately we didn't know anything about the Spice Girls' children.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11- What are you hoping for today? - Hoping to get to the end.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14- Hoping to win.- OK. Fair enough. What will be your means
0:02:14 > 0:02:18- of getting to the end? - Well, er, food and drink, music,
0:02:18 > 0:02:21entertainment, TV, sport.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25- Ian, what about you? - I'm a bit of a plane freak.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28Oh, you didn't tell us that last time!
0:02:28 > 0:02:30- A plane freak! - HE WHISPERS
0:02:30 > 0:02:32- HE WHISPERS - So you go to airports
0:02:32 > 0:02:36- and just watch them come in? - Airports, air shows, air museums.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39- Is it mainly military aircraft? - Civilian.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42I have been known to spend a weekend at Heathrow
0:02:42 > 0:02:45in a hotel looking over the runway. LAUGHTER
0:02:45 > 0:02:48I bet you have, Ian! Yeah, yeah!
0:02:48 > 0:02:51- That's what he told me. - Got a lot of numbers, have you,
0:02:51 > 0:02:53- in that little book? - A lot of numbers!
0:02:53 > 0:02:58I bet! Well... Anyway, very best of luck to the pair of you.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01Next we welcome back David and Dave. You were on the show last time.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05- Remind us how you did. - We fell foul of American TV.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Who would have thought? Everyone says TV!
0:03:08 > 0:03:12That's the category that universally comes up when we ask what you want.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15TV came up. We thought, "We'll do all right here."
0:03:15 > 0:03:19- And you didn't do all right.- No.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22What would you like to come up this afternoon, David?
0:03:22 > 0:03:25I think films, entertainment, sport.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27- Dave?- Same.
0:03:27 > 0:03:32- We like the same things. - Got to ask - curling?
0:03:32 > 0:03:34- No.- No.
0:03:34 > 0:03:35- Not lately.- Fencing.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38You are going to win that hands down.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41Well, listen, very best of luck to the pair of you.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45Great to have you back. And finally we have got Gayle and Tash.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47- How do you two know each other? - We met eight years ago
0:03:47 > 0:03:50through a mutual friend, and we found out recently
0:03:50 > 0:03:53that she would've liked to come on the show, so we're not popular.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56No longer a friend! Will she be watching at home?
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Yes. She'd probably kill me for saying this as well.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02- Where are you from, Tash? - Er, from Warwickshire,
0:04:02 > 0:04:05- from Leamington Spa area. - Lovely. What do you do?
0:04:05 > 0:04:08We're both teachers. I teach primary school,
0:04:08 > 0:04:12so I teach ten and 11 year olds, and Gayle teaches secondary school.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14- What do you teach, Gayle? - French and German.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16French... Oh!
0:04:16 > 0:04:20Oh, very, very useful. I'm also assuming that implies
0:04:20 > 0:04:24a working knowledge of France and Germany, as well as...
0:04:24 > 0:04:28- just the language. - Little bit, maybe. Little bit.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32Surely. Well, that could come in very, very handy indeed.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35We'll find out more about all of you throughout the show.
0:04:35 > 0:04:40There's only one person left to introduce. When he's not reading encyclopaedias, he's writing them.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44- Do you like that? He's my pointless friend. He's Richard.- Hiya.
0:04:44 > 0:04:45Hello.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47AUDIENCE CHEERS
0:04:53 > 0:04:56- How are you this afternoon? - I... I mustn't grumble.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Should be a good show. We've got two returning pairs.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Ian and Jayne were very strong last time.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04I think they were unlucky not to make it to the final,
0:05:04 > 0:05:08so they will be tough to beat, and we didn't see the best of David and Dave.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Thanks, Richard. We put all our questions to 100 people
0:05:11 > 0:05:13before the show, but this is Pointless,
0:05:13 > 0:05:16so we are after the obscure answers they didn't get.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19Everyone's trying to find a pointless answer,
0:05:19 > 0:05:21an answer none of our 100 people gave.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Each time that happens, we will add £250 to the jackpot.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27Nobody won the jackpot last time, so we add another £1,000 to that,
0:05:27 > 0:05:31so today's jackpot starts off at a dizzying £5,000.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33AUDIENCE CHEERS
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Right! Let's play Pointless.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46OK. In the first round,
0:05:46 > 0:05:48each of you must give me one answer,
0:05:48 > 0:05:50and you cannot confer with your partner.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53The team with the highest score at the end will be eliminated,
0:05:53 > 0:05:55so be careful that's not you.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57If anyone gives me an incorrect answer,
0:05:57 > 0:05:59they will score the maximum of 100 points.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03OK. Our first category this afternoon is...
0:06:04 > 0:06:06..sport.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11Sport. Decide in your pairs who's going to go first and second.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21Let's find out what the question is. We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:06:21 > 0:06:26to name as many football clubs named "Town" or "City"
0:06:26 > 0:06:29as they could. Football clubs named "Town" or "City".
0:06:29 > 0:06:33- Richard?- We're looking for any club in the English professional leagues
0:06:33 > 0:06:38in the 2010, 2011 season whose name includes Town or City.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41By the professional leagues, we mean the English Premier League,
0:06:41 > 0:06:44the Championship, League One and Two.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48OK. Thank you very much, Richard. Now, William and Suzanne,
0:06:48 > 0:06:51you all drew lots before the show, and this afternoon
0:06:51 > 0:06:55you get to go first. Yippee, Suzanne!
0:06:55 > 0:06:57So, then, football...
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Oh, English!
0:07:00 > 0:07:04That's OK. We're from England originally,
0:07:04 > 0:07:08and football's not... It's not a great subject,
0:07:08 > 0:07:13but it's not too bad. I think I'm going to play reasonably safely
0:07:13 > 0:07:19and go with our local football team from when we lived in Yorkshire,
0:07:19 > 0:07:22and that is Huddersfield Town.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Huddersfield Town!
0:07:24 > 0:07:27William quite pleased with that. Let's find out if it's right,
0:07:27 > 0:07:30and if it is, let's see how many people said it.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34You're hoping to score as few points as possible. Huddersfield Town.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Well done. It's right.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Oh, very well done, Suzanne! That's great.
0:07:44 > 0:07:4712 points for Huddersfield Town.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Very well played, Suzanne. Good start.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56They're in League One. Haven't been in the top flight since the '70s.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59Indeed. Well done. Now, then, Jayne.
0:07:59 > 0:08:04We are looking for football clubs named Town or City.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08I think I'm going to go... I think it's Macclesfield Town.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13- I hope.- OK. That's your answer. Macclesfield Town.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17Another nod from Ian. You're hoping to score as few points as possible.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21Let's see if it's correct, and if it is, how many people said Macclesfield Town.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26There we are. It's right.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Ooh! Very, very well done, Jayne.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36APPLAUSE
0:08:36 > 0:08:40That's a great answer. Scores you just three points.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44Well played, Jayne. Great answer. They joined the League in 1997,
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Macclesfield Town, currently in League Two.
0:08:47 > 0:08:52OK. Now, then, Dave, Towns and Citys in football clubs.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55I do like my football,
0:08:55 > 0:09:01and there's a town that I go through on my regular trips down to Devon,
0:09:01 > 0:09:06and they are quite new to the League. Um, Yeovil.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09You're hoping to score as few points as possible.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12It is right, and if it is, how many people said Yeovil Town?
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Good luck, Dave.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17It's right.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Down it goes. Oh! Very well done!
0:09:27 > 0:09:30Yeovil Town scores you four.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34Well played, Dave. Formerly the great FA Cup giant-killers,
0:09:34 > 0:09:36Yeovil Town. Played on a sloping pitch,
0:09:36 > 0:09:39- but now all the way up in League One. - Thank you very much.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43So, Tash, we come to you.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47What is the most obscure football club named Town or City
0:09:47 > 0:09:49you can think of?
0:09:49 > 0:09:52I'm going to be honest. This isn't my subject,
0:09:52 > 0:09:56surprisingly enough, but I'm a Sunderland football supporter,
0:09:56 > 0:10:00so the only thing that I can remember
0:10:00 > 0:10:04is that we had a negative chant about another team
0:10:04 > 0:10:09which was called Swindon Town, so I'm going to say Swindon Town,
0:10:09 > 0:10:11and hope that it wasn't just put in to rhyme.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13It was actually their name.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17- To rhyme with...- "Down".
0:10:17 > 0:10:19OK. Good.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21LAUGHTER
0:10:21 > 0:10:25Swindon Town, you're saying. Let's see if Swindon Town is right,
0:10:25 > 0:10:29and if it is, let's see how many people said it. Good luck, Tash.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Yes, it's right!
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Very well done, Tash! That's a great answer.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47Swindon Town, scoring you just five points.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50- Richard?- Well played, Tash. What a brilliant round from everybody.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53They only had one season in the Premier League,
0:10:53 > 0:10:56- and managed to concede 100 goals. - We're halfway through the round,
0:10:56 > 0:10:59so let's take a look at the scores as they stand.
0:10:59 > 0:11:04Amazing low-scoring round. On three points, Jayne.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08Very, very best answer there. Macclesfield Town. Very good indeed.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11One up from you, we come to Dave and David on four
0:11:11 > 0:11:14with Yeovil Town, then up one for Swindon Town on five.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17Suzanne, brilliant, brilliant score of 12.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21Normally that would've been the lowest score of the lot.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24But in this low-scoring round, you happen to have the highest score,
0:11:24 > 0:11:28which means, William, you have your work cut out in the next pass.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31Luckily, I think you are the man for the job.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:11:37 > 0:11:42OK. Remember, we are looking for football clubs named Town or City.
0:11:42 > 0:11:47Now, then, Gayle, the high scorers are William and Suzanne on 12.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50If you can score six or less,
0:11:50 > 0:11:54you are through to the next round, definitely.
0:11:54 > 0:11:55OK.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01I am not an expert on football at all,
0:12:01 > 0:12:03and City's going to be really common,
0:12:03 > 0:12:06so the only town I can think of, which I think is correct,
0:12:06 > 0:12:09- is Ipswich Town.- Ipswich Town.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13- Might be completely wrong, though. - There is your red line.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16If you can get below that with Ipswich Town,
0:12:16 > 0:12:19you are definitely through to the next round.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22Let's see if it's right, and if it is, how many people said Ipswich.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27It's right.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33APPLAUSE
0:12:36 > 0:12:42That's quite a high score. 26. Takes your total up to 31.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45- Richard?- Very well played, Gayle. That's a correct answer.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Thanks very much, Richard. OK, David.
0:12:47 > 0:12:52We are looking for football clubs named Town or City.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55The high scorers are Gayle and Tash on 31.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59You are on four. If you can score 26 or less,
0:12:59 > 0:13:01through you go to the next round.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03They've been some good answers so far.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05They really have, haven't they?
0:13:05 > 0:13:09I hope it's not too much of a gamble. I'll go for Lincoln City.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12Lincoln City! Is it right? How many people said it?
0:13:12 > 0:13:15There is your red line. If you get below that,
0:13:15 > 0:13:18Lincoln City sees you through to the next round. Lincoln City.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22It is a fantastic answer. It's right.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25I suspect this will see you through.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Yes, it does!
0:13:27 > 0:13:30- Five. - APPLAUSE
0:13:32 > 0:13:35That's a great answer, David. Scores you five.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38Leaves you in single figures with a total of nine.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41- Brilliant total. Richard? - Very well played, David.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44A good subject for your team. They did drop out of the League,
0:13:44 > 0:13:48- but are now back in League Two. - Thanks very much, Richard.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51So, now, Ian, I have a feeling...
0:13:51 > 0:13:54I have a feeling we're going to be dazzled.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58Maybe a pointless answer, if such a thing exists in this category.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01I was going to say Lincoln, because it's close to where I live,
0:14:01 > 0:14:04but I'm going to go for another relatively Midlands club.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07- I'll go for Northampton Town. - Northampton Town?
0:14:07 > 0:14:11Gayle and Tash remain our high scorers on 31.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14You are on three, thanks to Jayne's spectacular first answer.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17If you score 27 or less with Northampton Town,
0:14:17 > 0:14:20you are through to the next round. There's your red line.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23Is it right, and if it is, how many people said it?
0:14:26 > 0:14:28Well done, Ian.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32Looking good. Yes!
0:14:32 > 0:14:35Oh, very, very well done!
0:14:37 > 0:14:40Scores you five. Takes your total up to eight,
0:14:40 > 0:14:42an even lower total than Dave and David.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46Well played, Ian. Northampton Town, the Cobblers. Famous in the '60s.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Went all the way up from Division Four to One,
0:14:48 > 0:14:51and then all the way back down again.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Whoops!
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Yeah.
0:14:55 > 0:14:56Cobblers.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59- LAUGHTER - William,
0:14:59 > 0:15:04you are on 12. Gayle and Tash are on 31.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07If you can score 18 or less with this answer,
0:15:07 > 0:15:11you are through to the next round. Anything over 18,
0:15:11 > 0:15:15and we say goodbye to you now. Are you confident?
0:15:15 > 0:15:17A lot of my answers have gone,
0:15:17 > 0:15:21- so I'm on my borderline ones now. - OK.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24OK. Suzanne looking really quite nervous!
0:15:24 > 0:15:26LAUGHTER
0:15:26 > 0:15:29It's just whether they're still in the football League,
0:15:29 > 0:15:33and if they're actual towns. You start to doubt yourself.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36I've got two, which I'm switching between.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39OK.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43I think I'm going to have to go for...Chesterfield.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46Let's see if Chesterfield is right...
0:15:48 > 0:15:52..and if it is, let's see if it can get you down below that red line.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Chesterfield. Good luck.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00Oh, no!
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Bad luck!
0:16:02 > 0:16:06Evidently that is a 100-point-scoring answer,
0:16:06 > 0:16:09- which means it must be incorrect. - It isn't a town.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13It takes your total up to an unbeatable 112.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16Gayle and Tash are your new best, best friends!
0:16:17 > 0:16:20We will have to find out why that was incorrect. Richard?
0:16:20 > 0:16:23Yeah, Chesterfield's just Chesterfield, I'm afraid.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26There's a couple of pointless answers on the board, though.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29Let's take a look at them.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33Shrewsbury Town was a pointless answer, but a well known team.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36Cheltenham Town were in League Two. That was a pointless answer.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40Aldershot Town a very low score. Bradford City was low score,
0:16:40 > 0:16:44Exeter City was a low score. But Chesterfield is just Chesterfield.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48Let's take a look at the obvious ones most of our 100 people said.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Bristol City was 25 points.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55Ipswich Town was one of the high scorers,
0:16:55 > 0:16:58but you're through to the next round. 26 points.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02And Manchester City on 84, far and above everybody else.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05Thanks, Richard. So at the end of round one,
0:17:05 > 0:17:08the losing pair with the highest score, William and Suzanne.
0:17:08 > 0:17:14As you saw, there were a few pointless and low-scoring Towns and Citys there.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16Were you thinking of any of those ones?
0:17:16 > 0:17:19I had. Northampton was going to be my...
0:17:19 > 0:17:21- And what about those Towns? Shrewsbury?- I should, yeah.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24- Cheltenham!- Yeah.- Aldershot...
0:17:24 > 0:17:26Oh, dear. Well, well, well.
0:17:26 > 0:17:30You've learnt a painful lesson from your first experience on Pointless,
0:17:30 > 0:17:33but we will see you again next time,
0:17:33 > 0:17:36when I hope you will make it all the way through to the final.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38Thanks for playing. Great contestants!
0:17:38 > 0:17:40APPLAUSE
0:17:41 > 0:17:44For the remaining three pairs, it's now time for round two.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51AUDIENCE CHEERS
0:17:51 > 0:17:54Only two pairs can make it through to the head to head,
0:17:54 > 0:17:59so one team in front of me now will be leaving at the end of this round.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Your category for round two is...
0:18:03 > 0:18:06Literature.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Can you all decide in your pairs
0:18:08 > 0:18:11who's going to go first, who's going to go second,
0:18:11 > 0:18:14and whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19OK. Our round-two question this afternoon concerns...
0:18:25 > 0:18:29Celebrity autobiographies and their authors.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32In this round we'll show you a list of autobiographies.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36We asked 100 people to tell us which celebrities they belong to.
0:18:36 > 0:18:40- Richard.- We're going to show you six titles in each pass.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44The more obscure titles, if you give us the author, you'll score fewer points.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47If you give us an incorrect answer, you'll score 100 points.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50There are 12 in all, so see how many you can get at home.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53Thanks very much, Richard. We are looking for the celebrities
0:18:53 > 0:18:56each of these autobiographies belong to.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59I love the way we say "belong to" rather than "written by".
0:18:59 > 0:19:03Who do these autobiographies belong to?
0:19:03 > 0:19:05And we have got...
0:19:07 > 0:19:09HE READS TITLES
0:19:21 > 0:19:23- Let me read those again. - HE READS TITLES
0:19:30 > 0:19:32So, then, Jayne, there are the autobiographies.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35You need to supply me with a celebrity,
0:19:35 > 0:19:40preferably a really obscure one, who wrote one of those books.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42Struggling a bit here.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44Um...
0:19:44 > 0:19:48I think I'll go for Dear Fatty, which I think is Dawn French.
0:19:48 > 0:19:53Let's see if it's right, and if it is, let's see how many people knew that answer.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59It's right.
0:20:02 > 0:20:0426.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13- 26 points for Dear Fatty. - Yeah. Dawn French, 2008.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16It's a series of letters to important people in her life,
0:20:16 > 0:20:19and the Fatty in the title is Jennifer Saunders.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23Thanks very much. Now, then, David,
0:20:23 > 0:20:26autobiographies of the famous.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Struggling as well on this one myself.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31Um...
0:20:31 > 0:20:35It's going to be a guess, so I'll go for A Long Walk To Freedom,
0:20:35 > 0:20:37Nelson Mandela.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39A Long Walk To Freedom. Complete guess,
0:20:39 > 0:20:43- or somewhere at the back of your mind...- Slightly educated,
0:20:43 > 0:20:46- but more a guess than not. - OK. Was that a good guess?
0:20:46 > 0:20:48Let's find out. Is it right, and if it is,
0:20:48 > 0:20:52how many people said The Long Walk To Freedom, Nelson Mandela?
0:20:55 > 0:20:57- Yes, it's right.- Yes!
0:20:57 > 0:21:00It's right.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04- 27! - APPLAUSE
0:21:06 > 0:21:09Impeccable grouping.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12- Richard?- Yeah. Long Walk To Freedom, from 1994,
0:21:12 > 0:21:16Nelson Mandela's account of his life and imprisonment.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19Gayle, you're the last person to have this board.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22All these books remaindered for you.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25Well, I knew Dear Fatty and A Long Walk To Freedom,
0:21:25 > 0:21:28and I don't know any of the others. I was hoping they'd still be there,
0:21:28 > 0:21:31- so anything else that I do is going to have to be a guess.- OK.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33So...
0:21:35 > 0:21:39..I'm working on the basis that Ooh! What A Lovely Pair
0:21:39 > 0:21:42has got to be a comedian of some sort,
0:21:42 > 0:21:46and I've got two in my head and I don't know which to go with,
0:21:46 > 0:21:51so I'm going to take a really random plump at Eric Morecambe.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54Is it Eric Morecambe? Let's see if that's a good guess
0:21:54 > 0:21:59or not. How many people said Eric Morecambe, if it's right?
0:22:00 > 0:22:04Oh! Bad luck, Gayle. I'm afraid that's an incorrect answer,
0:22:04 > 0:22:07which means you score the maximum of 100 points. Richard?
0:22:07 > 0:22:11- Yeah. Sorry, Gayle. It's actually Ant and Dec.- Oh!
0:22:11 > 0:22:15Would have scored you ten points, so would've been a very good answer.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Dreams From My Father is Barack Obama,
0:22:17 > 0:22:21would have scored you seven. I Don't Mean To Be Rude But...
0:22:21 > 0:22:24is Simon Cowell. Would have scored you one points.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28And The Women I was Born To Be was Alexander Armstrong, also one point.
0:22:28 > 0:22:29LAUGHTER
0:22:31 > 0:22:34- We haven't yet actually... - It was also the title
0:22:34 > 0:22:38of Susan Boyle's autobiography, at one point.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41OK, let's have a look at the scores,
0:22:41 > 0:22:44as we're halfway through the round.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46On 26, Jayne and Ian,
0:22:46 > 0:22:50then we go up one point to David and Dave on 27.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53And then we go up an awful lot to Gayle and Tash,
0:22:53 > 0:22:55on 100 points.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58Tash, you've got your work cut out.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01How good are you on celebrity autobiographies?
0:23:01 > 0:23:04Um, I knew two other ones on that board.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08- I knew the Simon Cowell one. - Simon Cowell scored only one!
0:23:08 > 0:23:11- That would've been perfect! - Why don't you whisper it to him?
0:23:11 > 0:23:15- THEY LAUGH - Gayle, now, we know why.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17THEY LAUGH
0:23:17 > 0:23:19We're going to come back down the line.
0:23:19 > 0:23:23Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:23:24 > 0:23:27OK. We're going to put six more autobiographies on the board,
0:23:27 > 0:23:29and here they are. We have got...
0:23:44 > 0:23:47Remember, we are looking for the celebrities
0:23:47 > 0:23:49that these autobiographies belong to,
0:23:49 > 0:23:52and you want the one the fewest of our 100 people knew.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55Tash, what's that board look like to you?
0:23:55 > 0:23:57- Not as good as the other one. - SHE LAUGHS
0:23:57 > 0:24:00There's... There's three that I know,
0:24:00 > 0:24:03but I think they're all going to be quite well known ones,
0:24:03 > 0:24:06so I think I have to plump for the one
0:24:06 > 0:24:09that is the least, maybe, likely.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12The Sound Of Laughter, Peter Kay.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14The Sound Of Laughter, Peter Kay.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17You are the high scorers on 100, so there's no red line for you.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20You just have to hope this goes down as far as possible.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Let's see if Peter Kay is the author of The Sound Of Laughter,
0:24:23 > 0:24:26and how many people said it.
0:24:34 > 0:24:3513.
0:24:40 > 0:24:4313 points. Is that going to be enough, I wonder,
0:24:43 > 0:24:46- to keep you in the game. Richard? - Yeah, good answer.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48He's released two autobiographies.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51He did The Sound Of Laughter and Saturday Night Peter.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55Thanks very much, Richard. Now, then, Dave.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58The high scorers, on 113, are Tash and Gayle.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01You're on 27. If you can score 85 or less,
0:25:01 > 0:25:03you are through to the next round.
0:25:05 > 0:25:10Unfortunately I read more novels than autobiographies.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14Could say I live in fantasy land.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18Um, but I think My Booky Wook
0:25:18 > 0:25:20was written by Russell Brand.
0:25:20 > 0:25:24My Booky Wook, Russell Brand. Some fierce nodding going on
0:25:24 > 0:25:27from the assembled company. Let's see if that's right, and if it is,
0:25:27 > 0:25:32how many people said it. There's your red line. Below that, through to the head to head.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34Good luck, Dave.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Well done. You're through.
0:25:41 > 0:25:4342...
0:25:45 > 0:25:48- ..for My Booky Wook. That takes your total to 69.- Yeah, big score.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51He's also done Booky Wook 2.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54Very good. Now, then, Ian, you are on 26.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57The high scorers remain Tash and Gayle on 113.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00You have to score 86 or less with this answer
0:26:00 > 0:26:03to be through to the head to head. What are you thinking of the board?
0:26:03 > 0:26:07You're the last to have it, so you can talk through the other books.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09I'm thinking this is where we go home.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15Because I've never seen any of those titles whatsoever
0:26:15 > 0:26:17before in my life.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19HE SIGHS
0:26:19 > 0:26:23I'm just going to have to take a completely random stab in the dark
0:26:23 > 0:26:26and go Moonwalk and Michael Jackson. That's all I can think of.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29Moonwalk and Michael Jackson.
0:26:29 > 0:26:34There's your red line. Let's see if Moonwalk is by Michael Jackson.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37If it is, let's see how many people said it. Best of luck, Ian.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39Moonwalk, Michael Jackson.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43Ooh, it's right!
0:26:45 > 0:26:47Very well done. 34.
0:26:52 > 0:26:5534 takes your total up to 60.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58It was either Michael Jackson or Neil Armstrong.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00Quite. Or Buzz Aldrin.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02Or... Buzz who?
0:27:02 > 0:27:06Yeah. Very well played, Ian. It's a risk, but it paid off.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09From 1988, Michael Jackson's Moonwalk.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13And the book was edited by Jackie Onassis.
0:27:13 > 0:27:19- "Written" by Michael Jackson. - Edited...- Edited by Jackie Onassis.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22That famous doyenne of the literary scene!
0:27:22 > 0:27:24Yeah.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26Wow!
0:27:26 > 0:27:30I read it, and rang him, and said, "Michael, it's brilliant."
0:27:30 > 0:27:32LAUGHTER Yeah, pretty much.
0:27:32 > 0:27:36Let's take a look at the rest of the board. Humble Pie.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39The clue's in the pie, not the humble. It's Gordon Ramsey.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43Would have scored you five. Look Who It Is! Do you know that one?
0:27:43 > 0:27:46It's a tough one. It's Alan Carr. Would have scored you three.
0:27:46 > 0:27:50And It's Not What You Think is the best answer on the board.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53Very well done if you said Chris Evans. Would have scored you one.
0:27:53 > 0:27:58Thanks. At the end of round two, the losing pair with the highest score, it's Gayle and Tash!
0:27:58 > 0:28:02It's such a shame to say goodbye to you, but we will see you again next time,
0:28:02 > 0:28:05when I have no doubt you will storm through to the final.
0:28:05 > 0:28:09- We'll look forward to that. Great contestants.- Thank you.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11APPLAUSE
0:28:11 > 0:28:15But for the remaining two pairs, things will get even more exciting
0:28:15 > 0:28:18as we enter the head to head.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26Very well done, Ian and Jayne, David and Dave.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29You've made it to the head to head.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32Only one pair can make it through to play for the jackpot,
0:28:32 > 0:28:35which currently stands at £5,000.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42You'll now go head to head on the best of three questions.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45For each question, each pair must give me just one answer,
0:28:45 > 0:28:49and you are now allowed to confer. Come up with an answer
0:28:49 > 0:28:52that scores less than the other pair, and you win that question.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54The pair who get to the best of three
0:28:54 > 0:28:58will be playing for today's jackpot. Let's play Pointless.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07OK. Here is your first question.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:29:10 > 0:29:15to name as many Sex And The City characters as they could.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18Sex And The City characters. Richard?
0:29:18 > 0:29:21We're looking for any of the four main characters from the TV series,
0:29:21 > 0:29:24the character names, not the actresses' names,
0:29:24 > 0:29:27and first names will be allowed.
0:29:27 > 0:29:31OK. Thanks very much. Dave really not looking at all happy with that.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34David pretending not to look happy with that.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37Ian and Jayne, because you've played best so far,
0:29:37 > 0:29:39you get to go first.
0:29:39 > 0:29:42- Think.- I'm trying, I'm trying.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44THEY WHISPER
0:29:47 > 0:29:49OK. Go with it. Go.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52OK. It sounds like Ian has come up with an answer.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55Jayne... Doesn't have full backing, I'm guessing.
0:29:55 > 0:29:59- I think there's one called Carrie. - OK. You're going to say Carrie.
0:29:59 > 0:30:03Carrie. David and Dave, you can now talk out loud.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05Carrie has gone.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08Neither of us watch Sex And The City.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11Oh, I could have said "Carrie doesn't live here anymore"!
0:30:11 > 0:30:14THEY LAUGH
0:30:14 > 0:30:16- Sorry. "Carrie" on. - DAVE GROANS
0:30:16 > 0:30:19- Susan?- We'll go for Susan, yeah.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23OK, Susan. We have Carrie, we have Susan.
0:30:23 > 0:30:27Ian and Jayne said Carrie. Let's see if that's right,
0:30:27 > 0:30:29and if it is, how many people said it. Carrie.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34It's right.
0:30:36 > 0:30:3848.
0:30:43 > 0:30:48David and Dave have said Susan. Let's see if that's right.
0:30:49 > 0:30:53It's four names. Could easily be a Susan among them.
0:30:54 > 0:30:58- No chance.- Could easily be. Let's see if there's a Susan among them,
0:30:58 > 0:31:01and if there is, how many people said Susan.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06Bad luck, David and Dave.
0:31:06 > 0:31:10No Susan on Sex And The City. So, after the first question,
0:31:10 > 0:31:13Ian and Jayne are up one-nil. Richard?
0:31:13 > 0:31:15There's a Susan in Desperate Housewives,
0:31:15 > 0:31:18but not Sex And The City. Three answers would've beaten Carrie.
0:31:18 > 0:31:22Carrie was the top answer. Let's look at all four.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24Charlotte York, 24, Miranda Hobbes, 26,
0:31:24 > 0:31:28Samantha Jones, played by Kim Cattrall, 35,
0:31:28 > 0:31:31and Carrie Bradshaw, Sarah Jessica Parker, on 48.
0:31:31 > 0:31:35OK. Thanks very much, Richard. Here is your second question.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38David and Dave, you have to win this to stay in the game.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41Here it is. We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:31:41 > 0:31:46to name as many elements that don't contain the letters of their symbol
0:31:46 > 0:31:50as they could. Elements that don't contain the letters of their symbol.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53We're looking for any element on the periodic table
0:31:53 > 0:31:56whose name doesn't contain any of the letters
0:31:56 > 0:31:58of its chemical symbol.
0:31:58 > 0:32:03Thank you very much. David and Dave, you go first this time.
0:32:04 > 0:32:06THEY WHISPER
0:32:13 > 0:32:17- Go for sodium.- Yeah. - OK, David and Dave.
0:32:17 > 0:32:21We'll go for, er, sodium.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23You're going to go for sodium.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25Ian and Jayne?
0:32:25 > 0:32:29There's some obvious ones like gold, silver, mercury...
0:32:30 > 0:32:36- Er, but potassium... But we think... - Ian says tungsten.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40Ian says tungsten? Ian said Carrie, Jayne.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42- That's why you're one up.- Yeah.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44- Ian also says tungsten.- Yes.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47Frankie says "relax".
0:32:47 > 0:32:49THEY LAUGH
0:32:49 > 0:32:54OK. So we have sodium and we have tungsten.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58David and Dave, let's see if sodium's right,
0:32:58 > 0:33:01and if it is, let's see how many people said it. Sodium.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12- 17! - APPLAUSE
0:33:14 > 0:33:1617 for sodium.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22Tungsten. Let's see if that's right,
0:33:22 > 0:33:26and if it is, let's see how many people said tungsten.
0:33:26 > 0:33:30This, if you win it, will see you through to the final.
0:33:35 > 0:33:37It's right.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43Oh, and you are through. Oh, and it's pointless!
0:33:43 > 0:33:46AUDIENCE CHEERS
0:33:46 > 0:33:48Wow!
0:33:51 > 0:33:54Wow! We don't get many of those in the head to head.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57That is fantastic. Very, very well done indeed.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00That adds £250 to our jackpot,
0:34:00 > 0:34:03taking the total up to £5,250.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07Very, very well done indeed.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10And it means that, after only two questions,
0:34:10 > 0:34:14you are through to the final in straight sets. Well done. Richard?
0:34:14 > 0:34:18We should start manufacturing our "Ian Says Tungsten" T-shirts,
0:34:18 > 0:34:19- shouldn't we?- Yeah!
0:34:19 > 0:34:23Tungsten's W, from wolfram, which is the German for tungsten
0:34:23 > 0:34:26and an alternative name for it. There are nine on the list,
0:34:26 > 0:34:30and some people at home will be trying to get them all, so let's take a look.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33Tungsten, which is W, was a pointless answer.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35Antimony, which is Sb, also pointless.
0:34:35 > 0:34:39Mercury, Hg, five, sodium, as we've heard, Na, for 17,
0:34:39 > 0:34:43lead, Pb, 22. Let's take a look at the top four.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45Potassium, which is K, 23,
0:34:45 > 0:34:50Iron, Fe, 25, and gold in the silver-medal position with Au, 27,
0:34:50 > 0:34:54and silver in the gold-medal position, with Ag, 29.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57Thanks very much. So the losing pair at the end of the head to head,
0:34:57 > 0:35:01it's David and Dave! Oh, you've come so far!
0:35:01 > 0:35:03American TV again.
0:35:03 > 0:35:06American TV once again.
0:35:06 > 0:35:09Do you just not watch it?
0:35:09 > 0:35:12- No!- Oh, it just seems so unfair!
0:35:12 > 0:35:14The veterans of so many brave campaigns
0:35:14 > 0:35:17- through Pointless's past! - THEY LAUGH
0:35:17 > 0:35:20- And now we come to this. - We've enjoyed it, though.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23- It's been fantastic.- So have we. It's been lovely having you.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26I'm sorry you don't carry away a Pointless trophy at the end of it.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29You deserve to. You've been wonderful contestants.
0:35:29 > 0:35:32- Thank you for playing. - Thank you.- Thank you.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34APPLAUSE
0:35:34 > 0:35:37But for Ian and Jayne, it's now time for our Pointless final,
0:35:37 > 0:35:40and the chance to win our jackpot of £5,250.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51Congratulations. You've fought off all the competition
0:35:51 > 0:35:54and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy,
0:35:54 > 0:35:56- so very well done.- Excellent.
0:36:02 > 0:36:05You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot,
0:36:05 > 0:36:11and at the end of today's show, the jackpot stands at £5,250.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13AUDIENCE CHEERS
0:36:15 > 0:36:18The rules are very simple. All you have to do to win that money
0:36:18 > 0:36:22is to find a pointless answer, an answer none of our 100 people could think of.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24We've had one pointless answer on the show today,
0:36:24 > 0:36:27and you came up with it just now with tungsten.
0:36:27 > 0:36:30You only have to find one more pointless answer now
0:36:30 > 0:36:33to go home with that money. First, choose a category
0:36:33 > 0:36:35from these three options.
0:36:35 > 0:36:40Here you are. You can have cricket, MPs or words.
0:36:42 > 0:36:46- Well...- Well... - How loud do you want to talk?
0:36:46 > 0:36:48HE LAUGHS MPs is a no-no.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51MPs is a no-no. You'd have to do cricket on your own.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54- So I think...- You'll have to do words on your own.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56- THEY LAUGH - You're on your own!
0:36:58 > 0:37:01- Do you want cricket, or... - I think we'll do words.
0:37:01 > 0:37:04Words? Sure?
0:37:04 > 0:37:06- I know more about words than cricket.- OK.- I hope.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08- He knows a lot about cricket! - HE LAUGHS
0:37:08 > 0:37:11- We'll go for words, please. - You'll go for words?
0:37:11 > 0:37:14OK. Let's find out what the question is.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17We gave 100 people 100 seconds
0:37:17 > 0:37:22to name as many words ending in "tend",
0:37:22 > 0:37:25T-E-N-D, as they could.
0:37:25 > 0:37:29- Richard?- We're looking for any word that ends in the letters T-E-N-D
0:37:29 > 0:37:33that appear in the OED. That's the new online edition.
0:37:33 > 0:37:36Anything with a hyphen in the OED won't count,
0:37:36 > 0:37:41so any words ending T-E-N-D in the OED.
0:37:42 > 0:37:46OK. You now have up to one minute to come up with three answers,
0:37:46 > 0:37:50and all you need to win that £5,250 is for just one of those answers
0:37:50 > 0:37:53to be pointless. Your 60 seconds start now.
0:37:53 > 0:37:55We don't want obvious things like pretend or...
0:37:55 > 0:37:58- Overextend. - I was thinking of overextend.
0:37:58 > 0:38:01- Does that have a hyphen? - I'm not sure.
0:38:01 > 0:38:04- Right.- What about distend?- Distend.
0:38:04 > 0:38:06Er...
0:38:06 > 0:38:09- Overextend. Underextend?- Yes.
0:38:09 > 0:38:13What about... What about hyperextend?
0:38:13 > 0:38:16Hyperextend. Er...
0:38:16 > 0:38:18Er...
0:38:18 > 0:38:22We're going to have to go for something completely wild, aren't we?
0:38:22 > 0:38:24OK. Right. Overextend?
0:38:26 > 0:38:29Er, let's have a think. What else? Er...
0:38:29 > 0:38:33- I can't help you. - I'm thinking, I'm thinking.
0:38:38 > 0:38:39Er... Tend.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45- No.- Let's go with those, then. - Mind's gone blank.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48- Overextend.- Let's put distend in, just to be safe.
0:38:48 > 0:38:51- Five left.- OK.- OK?
0:38:51 > 0:38:53OK. You have three answers.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56- Your minute's up. - We'll go with distend...- Yep.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59- ..overextend...- Yep.
0:38:59 > 0:39:01- ..and hyperextend.- Of those three,
0:39:01 > 0:39:05I think I can guess which you think is your best punt
0:39:05 > 0:39:07- at a pointless answer. - I think hyperextend.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09- We'll put that last. - Put distend first.
0:39:09 > 0:39:11And we'll put distend first.
0:39:11 > 0:39:14OK. We'll put them up on the board in that order,
0:39:14 > 0:39:16and here they are.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24There they are.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26We were looking for words ending in T-E-N-D.
0:39:26 > 0:39:29You said this was your least confident answer.
0:39:29 > 0:39:34You only need to find one pointless answer to win that £5,250 jackpot.
0:39:34 > 0:39:35ALEXANDER SIGHS
0:39:35 > 0:39:38OK.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41Let's see if distend is right,
0:39:41 > 0:39:45and if it is, let's see how many people said distend.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47Good luck.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54Well, it's right. This gives us a chance to see
0:39:54 > 0:39:59what our 100 people know about words ending in T-E-N-D.
0:39:59 > 0:40:03Down it goes. Distend. Down into single figures! Eight!
0:40:03 > 0:40:04SHE LAUGHS
0:40:04 > 0:40:07APPLAUSE
0:40:08 > 0:40:11That's good. I think that's very good.
0:40:12 > 0:40:15I think we can draw a lot of optimism
0:40:15 > 0:40:17- from that.- Relief.
0:40:17 > 0:40:21Unfortunately it's not a pointless answer, but you knew it wouldn't be.
0:40:21 > 0:40:24That is just...to look good on the board.
0:40:24 > 0:40:25THEY LAUGH
0:40:25 > 0:40:28You only have two more chances to win today's jackpot.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31- £5,250! What would you do with that? - Ooh...
0:40:31 > 0:40:34- We'll go somewhere nice. - We will go somewhere nice.
0:40:34 > 0:40:37I've got a son who lives in Australia,
0:40:37 > 0:40:40so we might bring forward the plans to go and visit him again.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42Very good indeed. Well, very best of luck.
0:40:42 > 0:40:46We are looking for words ending in T-E-N-D.
0:40:47 > 0:40:52We are now into a different class of word.
0:40:52 > 0:40:55These are the words that generally win Pointlesses
0:40:55 > 0:41:00on these sorts of rounds, sort of portmanteau words.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05Let's hope nobody said your next answer.
0:41:05 > 0:41:08This has to be pointless, for you to win that £5,250.
0:41:08 > 0:41:12Let's see how many people said overextend.
0:41:12 > 0:41:16Overextend. Can't be hyphenated.
0:41:16 > 0:41:19It has to be one word in the OED.
0:41:19 > 0:41:22Let's see if it's right, and if it is,
0:41:22 > 0:41:25let's see how far down it goes. Very best of luck.
0:41:25 > 0:41:27This is your second shot at that £5,250 jackpot.
0:41:27 > 0:41:30Overextend.
0:41:33 > 0:41:35Well, it's right.
0:41:36 > 0:41:40It's right. This for £5,250.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45Has to go all the way to zero. Into single figures.
0:41:45 > 0:41:49- Down it goes! Still going down! - CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:41:52 > 0:41:55Very, very well done. That's absolutely incredible.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57Thank you.
0:41:57 > 0:41:59Oh, dear!
0:41:59 > 0:42:03Congratulations! You managed to find that all-important pointless answer.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06That means you go home with a jackpot of £5,250!
0:42:06 > 0:42:09AUDIENCE CHEERS
0:42:11 > 0:42:14Well, Richard, what about that for a pointless answer?
0:42:14 > 0:42:17Brilliant. Well played. The perfect team, really,
0:42:17 > 0:42:20because Jayne gave us overextend, and Ian gave us hyperextend,
0:42:20 > 0:42:23which is also a pointless answer!
0:42:23 > 0:42:27So absolutely brilliantly played. I'll take you through a few more pointless answers,
0:42:27 > 0:42:30because people will have got different ones at home.
0:42:30 > 0:42:34There's hyperextend. Misintend, mistend,
0:42:34 > 0:42:38all pointless answers. Obtend, to proffer an opinion,
0:42:38 > 0:42:42that's pointless. There's overextend, reintend...
0:42:44 > 0:42:47Repetend, which is the digits repeated
0:42:47 > 0:42:49in a recurring decimal fraction,
0:42:49 > 0:42:53and stend, which is to leap or bound, also a stick used by a butcher
0:42:53 > 0:42:55to hold open a carcase,
0:42:55 > 0:42:57rather charmingly.
0:42:57 > 0:43:00But very, very well done. Two pointless answers,
0:43:00 > 0:43:04- and money well earned. - And how! Well, thanks once again
0:43:04 > 0:43:06to our winning players, Ian and Jayne,
0:43:06 > 0:43:09who go away with today's jackpot of £5,250.
0:43:09 > 0:43:12AUDIENCE CHEERS
0:43:15 > 0:43:19Join us next time, when we'll put more obscure knowledge to the test
0:43:19 > 0:43:22- on Pointless. Goodbye from Richard...- Goodbye.
0:43:22 > 0:43:24And goodbye from me. Goodbye.
