0:00:20 > 0:00:23- CHEERS AND APPLAUSE - Thank you very much indeed.
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong.
0:00:25 > 0:00:30A very warm welcome to Pointless, where obvious answers mean nothing
0:00:30 > 0:00:32and obscure answers mean everything.
0:00:32 > 0:00:37- Let's meet today's players. - APPLAUSE
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Welcome back, William and Suzanne.
0:00:39 > 0:00:44You were on the show last time. Remind us how you did.
0:00:44 > 0:00:51- We had a disappointing exit in the first round.- Football teams with Town or City in their name!
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Oh, dear. Oh, dear. Oh, dear.
0:00:54 > 0:00:59- Remind us what you do, William. - I'm a sheep farmer.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Any sheep in the show, Richard?
0:01:01 > 0:01:04The good news is - for everybody else - no.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07- LAUGHTER - More's the pity!
0:01:07 > 0:01:11- Suzanne, what do you do? - I'm a tennis coach.
0:01:11 > 0:01:18- What are your areas of expertise? - I would like to see geography or economics come up.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21Well, very best of luck. It's lovely having you back.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25Welcome, David and James. How do you know each other?
0:01:25 > 0:01:29We met at work about ten years ago and we've been friends ever since.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31What are you hoping will come up?
0:01:31 > 0:01:35General blokey topics, really. Films, sport.
0:01:35 > 0:01:40- James, what about you? - I wouldn't mind science coming up.
0:01:40 > 0:01:45I've always liked watching science TV shows, Tomorrow's World.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47Are you good at remembering things?
0:01:47 > 0:01:53I was trying to remember the name of who presented Tomorrow's World, I think it was Judith Hann.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57You know what? That's ruined round one!
0:01:58 > 0:02:02- ALEXANDER CHUCKLES - Well, very best of luck to you.
0:02:02 > 0:02:07Next, welcome back, Gayle and Tash. You were on the show last time.
0:02:07 > 0:02:13- Remind us how you did.- We went out in the second round cos we didn't read enough celebrity biographies.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Celebrity biographies. That was really tough.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19All that Shakespeare I read at university,
0:02:19 > 0:02:25- never realising I should have been reading Jordan's autobiography. - Reading Ooh, What A Lovely Pair!
0:02:25 > 0:02:28Not by Jordan, but by Ant and Dec.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30I know now. Yeah.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34- Gayle, what do you hope will come up?- I quite like music.
0:02:34 > 0:02:39- Possibly a bit of film.- Well, very best of luck to the pair of you.
0:02:39 > 0:02:44And finally, we've got Alejandra and Paul. How do you know each other?
0:02:44 > 0:02:48We met about four years ago in a night club in Santiago in Chile.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52- How run-of-the-mill(!) - That's where WE met!- Yes.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54That Santiago night club.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58- That's right.- A strange man was talking to Alejandra.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02I was standing to one side, minding my own business.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06- And she said, "Hola!" - Out of the frying pan into the fire.
0:03:06 > 0:03:12- I think she regrets it now, but...! - No!- Alejandra! She can't!
0:03:12 > 0:03:16- She's come all the way from Chile. - Exactly.- Paul, what do you do?
0:03:16 > 0:03:20One of my jobs is a Geordie interpreter.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Is that REALLY a job?
0:03:23 > 0:03:27Alej saw the job, actually, so it's her fault, in the newspaper.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31She said, "You've been helping me out so much in Newcastle."
0:03:31 > 0:03:35- Do you understand Geordie well, Alejandra, now?- Um....
0:03:35 > 0:03:39- Maybe 85%. It depends on the person. - It's quite hard.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42If your ear's not tuned into it.
0:03:42 > 0:03:47Very best of luck to the pair of you. We'll find out more throughout the show.
0:03:47 > 0:03:53There's one person left to introduce. If he was a dinosaur, he'd be an obscurosaurus.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57- He's my Pointless friend. He's Richard.- Hiya.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06- Hello.- How are you this afternoon? - I'm very well. How are you?- Good.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10- You're from near Geordie land. - GEORDIE ACCENT:- That's right.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13- I didn't quite... - I think he said he was.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16Where exactly are you from?
0:04:16 > 0:04:19Er, Rothbury.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Rothbury. It's near the border with Scotland.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25- And how are you this afternoon? - I'm very well.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29- He's very well.- It's good to hear. Thank you very much.
0:04:29 > 0:04:34It should be a good show. Everybody wanted film, and film there is.
0:04:34 > 0:04:39Wow! Richard! Dishing out the sweets today, aren't you?
0:04:39 > 0:04:42I am. I made a last-minute choice between film and sheep.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46- And film won. - LAUGHTER
0:04:46 > 0:04:51We put our questions to 100 people. We are after the obscure answers.
0:04:51 > 0:04:56Everyone's trying to find a pointless answer that none of our 100 people gave.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00Each time that happens, we add £250 to the jackpot.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03Ian and Jayne won the jackpot last time,
0:05:03 > 0:05:07so today's jackpot starts off £1,000.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14- Right, let's play Pointless. - APPLAUSE
0:05:18 > 0:05:21In the first round, each of you must give me one answer,
0:05:21 > 0:05:23and you cannot confer.
0:05:23 > 0:05:28Whichever team has the highest score will be eliminated, so be careful.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32An incorrect answer scores the maximum of 100 points.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36Good luck. Our first category this afternoon is...
0:05:38 > 0:05:42..Can you decide who's going first, who's going second?
0:05:42 > 0:05:45And whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:05:54 > 0:05:58..as they could. Bill Murray films. Richard.
0:05:58 > 0:06:04Any feature film made for cinema release for which Bill Murray received an acting credit
0:06:04 > 0:06:07up to the start of 2011.
0:06:07 > 0:06:13TV films don't count, nor do any films where he plays himself, such as Space Jam.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15But voiced performances do count.
0:06:15 > 0:06:21Suzanne and William, you all drew lots and you get to go first.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25Suzanne, Bill Murray fan, are you?
0:06:25 > 0:06:29At the moment, I'm struggling to think who Bill Murray is!
0:06:29 > 0:06:34- Um...- OK.- No. Not good. - So that's a tough one.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38- It's...very tough.- You're going to have to make up a film title.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42I'm going to guess Groundhog Day.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46- You genuinely couldn't think who Bill Murray was?- No.
0:06:46 > 0:06:52- This is a complete stab in the dark. - It really... Yeah. It really is.
0:06:52 > 0:06:57Let's see if it's right and, if it is, how many people said Groundhog Day. Good luck.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00It's right!
0:07:07 > 0:07:10That's a great score for a punt like that.
0:07:10 > 0:07:1238 for Groundhog Day. Richard.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Very well done, Suzanne!
0:07:14 > 0:07:18He plays Phil Connors who's forced to live the same day over and over.
0:07:18 > 0:07:23I thought you were about to, by being knocked out in the first round!
0:07:23 > 0:07:2538 for Groundhog Day. Richard.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28I get it. Groundhog Day is from...
0:07:28 > 0:07:32- Well done. You got it from the back of your mind.- I don't know where.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Great score. Groundhog Day.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37- Oh, stop doing that! - LAUGHTER
0:07:37 > 0:07:41James. Remember, we're looking for Bill Murray films.
0:07:41 > 0:07:46One's come to mind. A film where he sports a lot of different tracksuits.
0:07:46 > 0:07:52- Broken Flowers?- Let's see if it's correct and, if it is, how many people said Broken Flowers.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57Well done. It's right.
0:08:04 > 0:08:05CHEERING
0:08:05 > 0:08:10That's a great answer. I thought that was going all the way down.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13- Richard.- Well played, James. That's from 2005.
0:08:13 > 0:08:18- As you say, plenty of tracksuit work in that film.- Now then, Gayle.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21Bill Murray films.
0:08:21 > 0:08:26I'm pretty sure that he was in the version of A Christmas Carol
0:08:26 > 0:08:28which was called Scrooged.
0:08:28 > 0:08:33Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said Scrooged.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Very well done.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Eight points for Scrooged.
0:08:47 > 0:08:52- Richard.- Yeah, from 1988. It's their version of A Christmas Carol.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55He plays a cynical television executive.
0:08:55 > 0:09:00It's weird, cos all the television executives who look after this show
0:09:00 > 0:09:03at the BBC are just lovely!
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Less cynical people you could not hope to meet.
0:09:06 > 0:09:07Talented, nurturing...
0:09:07 > 0:09:12- Philanthropic.- Lovely. No Christmas Carol needed for them.
0:09:12 > 0:09:13No!
0:09:15 > 0:09:21- Alejandra.- I have to be honest, I'm not a big fan of Bill Murray.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25I'm not 100% sure I have the name right.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27- It'll be a total gamble.- OK.
0:09:27 > 0:09:33Um... It's a movie called Annie? Could be? About a little girl?
0:09:33 > 0:09:37You're hoping to score as few points as possible and that it's correct.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41Let's see if it is, and let's see how far down it goes.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45Is it correct? And how many people said Annie?
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Oh, bad luck, Alejandra!
0:09:48 > 0:09:51Unfortunately, Bill Murray is not in Annie.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54You score the maximum of 100 points.
0:09:54 > 0:09:59- Annie, Richard.- Sorry, Alejandra. Not Bill Murray, I'm afraid.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03The person whose name is most similar in that is Tim Curry,
0:10:03 > 0:10:07- whether that's who you were thinking of.- Probably. I don't know.
0:10:07 > 0:10:12If we were doing actors who rhyme with Bill Murray, it's a very good answer.
0:10:12 > 0:10:17We're halfway through the round, so let's take a look at the scores.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20James and David looking fantastic!
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Just two points. Then we come up to eight.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27Gayle and Tash, another lovely answer.
0:10:27 > 0:10:3038, Suzanne and William, not bad.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33Alejandra and Paul, you are way out in front.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37Paul, the pressure is on you to find a really obscure answer.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:10:44 > 0:10:49Paul, you are the high-scorers on 100. You know what you have to do.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53- Do you know Bill Murray films well? - I've got one which I think's OK.
0:10:53 > 0:10:59I'm not sure if it'll be pointless. The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03Let's see if it's right and, if it is, how many people said The Life Aquatic.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08It's right.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12I'm thinking this will be a low scorer.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17Very well done, Paul!
0:11:17 > 0:11:20- CHEERS AND WHISTLES - That's a pointless answer.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24It adds £250 to today's jackpot, taking the total up to...
0:11:26 > 0:11:30..And it scores you nothing!
0:11:30 > 0:11:33- Richard. - You can't do any better than that.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36He plays Steve Zissou, an oceanographer.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39We're looking for Bill Murray films. Tash.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42The high-scorers are Paul and Alejandra.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48If you can score 91 points or less, you are through to the next round.
0:11:48 > 0:11:53OK, I have... I'm gonna... Eugh! I'll gamble a little bit, I think.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56I'm going for Lost In Translation.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00If this is right and it goes below that red line,
0:12:00 > 0:12:02you are through to the next round.
0:12:02 > 0:12:07Let's see if it is and how many people said Lost In Translation.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10Very well done.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16Wow! 13!
0:12:16 > 0:12:2013 for Lost In Translation takes your total up to 21.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23- Richard.- Yeah, released in 2003.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27He received a Best Actor nomination but didn't win. Never won an Oscar.
0:12:27 > 0:12:32- Never?- Amazing, when you think of the films he's been in. Up to the start of 2011, that is.
0:12:32 > 0:12:39- American Academy, what are you playing at?- Groundhog Day should have swept the board.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Should have.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44- Year after year. - LAUGHTER
0:12:44 > 0:12:47Now, David and James, you are on two,
0:12:47 > 0:12:52thanks to James's exceptional answer with Broken Flowers.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54David, I think you'll do even better.
0:12:54 > 0:12:59I think if anyone can find another pointless Bill Murray film
0:12:59 > 0:13:03- I'm looking at him now. - I'll do my best.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06Er... So, the answer I'm going to go for...
0:13:07 > 0:13:10..is Rushmore.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12There's your red line.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Let's see if you can clear that.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18Let's see if it's right and, if it is, how many people said Rushmore.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22It's right and you're through.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Let's see if this can take us down to zero.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Yes! Very well done!
0:13:29 > 0:13:31CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
0:13:31 > 0:13:35Fantastic answer, Rushmore. A pointless answer.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39It adds £250 to today's jackpot, taking the total up to £1,500.
0:13:39 > 0:13:44It scores you nothing, leaving you with a very impressive total of two.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48- Richard.- Another brilliant film, Rushmore, from 1998.
0:13:48 > 0:13:54- He loved the script so much he said he'd be in the film for free.- Wow!
0:13:54 > 0:13:58Maybe a Lifetime Achievement Oscar. I'm hoping there's a lot more left.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01- He should get something.- Something?
0:14:01 > 0:14:04- We should send him a Pointless trophy.- Consider that done.
0:14:04 > 0:14:09Be something of a surprise for him in Laurel Canyon, opening his post.
0:14:09 > 0:14:15- "This is quite heavy and they haven't paid the postage!" - RICHARD LAUGHS
0:14:15 > 0:14:18We are looking for Bill Murray films, William.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22Our high-scorers are Paul and Alejandra.
0:14:22 > 0:14:29If you can score 61 or less with this answer, you and Suzanne are through to the next round.
0:14:29 > 0:14:33- OK.- What are you thinking?- I'm going to gamble on an obscure one.
0:14:33 > 0:14:37- Suzanne?- He's panicking me again!
0:14:37 > 0:14:42Yeah! OK. What are you thinking?
0:14:42 > 0:14:47- What About Bob?- What About Bob. Well, there is your red line.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51If you can come below that, you are through to the next round.
0:14:51 > 0:14:56Maybe it'll be another pointless answer and we'll add 250 quid to the jackpot.
0:14:56 > 0:15:00What About Bob? How many people said that? Is it right?
0:15:01 > 0:15:03It is right.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05You ARE through.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Is it pointless?
0:15:07 > 0:15:10Oh, no! Not quite!
0:15:13 > 0:15:17It's all but pointless. That scores you two.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20- Richard, What About Bob? - Well played, William.
0:15:20 > 0:15:27It's from 1991, plays alongside Richard Dreyfuss who plays his psychiatrist. Another good film.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31There's a load of pointless answers. Well done if you got any of these at home.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36Charlie's Angels, where he plays Bosley.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38Ed Wood, alongside Johnny Depp.
0:15:38 > 0:15:43He's the voice of the badger in Fantastic Mr Fox, alongside George Clooney and Meryl Streep.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48Garfield, also, he's the voice for.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Meatballs, one of his early comedies.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52Rushmore, we had from David.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55The Life Aquatic, we had from Paul.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59He plays one of Dustin Hoffman's friends in Tootsie.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01All of those are pointless answers.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Let's look at the ones that most of our 100 people said.
0:16:04 > 0:16:09A couple of these will be familiar. Lost In Translation from Tash.
0:16:09 > 0:16:14Groundhog Day from Suzanne. Saw you through to the next round.
0:16:14 > 0:16:19Right at the top, another film he didn't get an Oscar for!
0:16:19 > 0:16:24- Fantastic film! - Ghostbusters II scored 11. That would have been a good answer.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28So, at the end of round one, the losing pair with the highest score,
0:16:28 > 0:16:31I'm afraid, it's Paul and Alejandra. Oh, dear!
0:16:31 > 0:16:35And Paul, you gave us a pointless answer.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39You now know a lot more about Bill Murray films than you did.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42You'll never forget all those pointless answers.
0:16:42 > 0:16:46A great shame to say goodbye. We'll see much more of you next time.
0:16:46 > 0:16:51Meanwhile, thanks very much for playing. Great contestants.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57For the remaining three pairs, it's now time for round two.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05Only two pairs can make it to the head-to-head.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09One of the teams will be leaving at the end of this round.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12Our category for round two is...
0:17:14 > 0:17:19..Can you decide in your pairs who's going first, who's going second?
0:17:19 > 0:17:22Whoever's going first, please step up to the podium.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29And our question concerns...
0:17:32 > 0:17:36We're about to show you a list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40We asked 100 people to tell us in which country each of them is found.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43- Richard.- We'll show you six sites on each pass.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46The more obscure ones score fewer points.
0:17:46 > 0:17:51If you tell us the wrong country, you'll score 100 points.
0:17:51 > 0:17:55- There's 12 for you to have a go at at home.- Thanks very much.
0:17:55 > 0:18:01So we are looking for the countries in which these UNESCO World Heritage Sites are found...
0:18:12 > 0:18:15..I'll read those one more time...
0:18:23 > 0:18:28..Now, these are the UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
0:18:28 > 0:18:32Tell me which countries they are found in, William.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36I think I'll go for Yellowstone National Park.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39- And...?- The USA.
0:18:39 > 0:18:44Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many knew Yellowstone, USA.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49A lot of people know it.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58- 81 points.- Yeah. Big score. The first National Park in the world.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02Yellowstone National Park, from 1872.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04There you go. Now then, James.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07UNESCO World Heritage sites.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10I definitely know one of them.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14I'm going to go for Machu Picchu.
0:19:14 > 0:19:18- And I think it may be in Peru. - Machu Picchu, Peru.
0:19:18 > 0:19:24Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people knew Machu Picchu, Peru.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27It's right.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35Good answer, James.
0:19:35 > 0:19:39- 39 for Machu Picchu. - Yeah, a 15th-century Inca site.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42- Machu Picchu.- Thank you. Now, Gayle.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45We are looking for the countries in which you will find
0:19:45 > 0:19:47these UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49I'm going to play it safe.
0:19:49 > 0:19:53Aachen Cathedral, Germany. I lived in Aachen for a time.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56That's probably a brilliant answer.
0:19:56 > 0:20:01Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said Aachen Cathedral, Germany.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08Very good answer. The best answer yet.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12Aachen Cathedral.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15Playing it safe, but it scored you 26.
0:20:15 > 0:20:20Oldest cathedral in northern Europe. Have you been to Aachen Cathedral?
0:20:20 > 0:20:24- Yes, I did.- Is it nice? - It's all right. It's a cathedral.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28- I will tell UNESCO. They'll be delighted.- Sorry, UNESCO.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Let's take a look at the rest.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Taj Mahal, it's in India, of course.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35Would have scored you 97 points.
0:20:35 > 0:20:4097 points! Also a Taj Mahal on Kentish Town Road, isn't there?
0:20:40 > 0:20:44- Very good one. Yes. - We wouldn't have accepted that.
0:20:44 > 0:20:48Serengeti National Park is in Tanzania.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52Famous for the migration of the wildebeest. Eight points.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was incarcerated,
0:20:55 > 0:21:02would have scored you 26 points. It's in South Africa, of course.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04Thank you, Richard.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at the scores.
0:21:07 > 0:21:0926 points, Gayle! Aachen Cathedral.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12Very good. Great answer. James on 39.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15Not bad at all, then, way out in front,
0:21:15 > 0:21:18William and Suzanne on 81.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22Suzanne, how good are you on your UNESCO World Heritage Sites?
0:21:22 > 0:21:27- We'll find out in a minute. - I think we probably shall.- Yes.
0:21:27 > 0:21:32Can the second players please take their places at the podium?
0:21:32 > 0:21:37We're going to put six more UNESCO World Heritage Sites on the board.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40And we have got...
0:21:50 > 0:21:52RICHARD CHUCKLES
0:21:54 > 0:21:56..I'm going to read those again...
0:22:05 > 0:22:10Remember, we are looking for the country in which each of these is found.
0:22:10 > 0:22:14You're trying to find the one that the fewest people knew. Tash?
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Um...
0:22:16 > 0:22:21- I'm going to go for the Acropolis and say Greece.- Acropolis, Greece.
0:22:21 > 0:22:25The high-scorers are William and Suzanne on 81.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28If you can score 54 or less,
0:22:28 > 0:22:33if you come below that red line, through to the next round.
0:22:33 > 0:22:38Let's see if the Acropolis is in Greece and, if it is, how many people said it.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47- APPLAUSE - Quite a high score, there.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49That takes you up to 98.
0:22:49 > 0:22:50Richard.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53European Cultural Heritage said
0:22:53 > 0:22:57the Acropolis is the preeminent monument in the history of Europe.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01- Means "highest city" in Greek. - Now, then, David.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04It comes to you.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07The high-scorers are now Tash and Gayle.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09If you score 58 or less,
0:23:09 > 0:23:13- you're through to the next round. - OK. It's a tough board.
0:23:13 > 0:23:18- Have you been to any of those places?- No!
0:23:18 > 0:23:20Would you like to?
0:23:20 > 0:23:25The Historic Centre of Naples might be a nice place to visit.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28Not after dark! I'm not saying where it is.
0:23:28 > 0:23:32I think I might know where it is, but it might be quite high scoring.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35The only thing that's not in that title
0:23:35 > 0:23:39- is the name of the country. - That's right.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41I'm going for Skellig Michael,
0:23:41 > 0:23:49which I have a sneaky feeling might be on Shetland.
0:23:49 > 0:23:54Which is part of the UK, so Skellig Michael, United Kingdom.
0:23:54 > 0:23:58If Skellig Michael, UK gets you below that line, you are through.
0:23:58 > 0:24:02Let's see if it's right and, if it is, how many people said Skellig Michael.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11Bad luck, David, that is an incorrect answer.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13You score the maximum of 100 points.
0:24:13 > 0:24:17That gives you a total of 139.
0:24:17 > 0:24:22- Richard.- I won't give the correct answer in case Suzanne wants a go at the same question.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24Suzanne, the high-scorers
0:24:24 > 0:24:27are now David and James on 139.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31If you score 57 or less, you're through to the head-to-head.
0:24:31 > 0:24:38I think I'll have to go for Petra and hope it's low-scoring enough.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40I think Petra's in Jordan.
0:24:40 > 0:24:45Petra, Jordan. This has to score 57 or less for you to stay in the game.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47There's your red line.
0:24:47 > 0:24:52Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said Petra, Jordan.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54It's right.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58You are through to the next round.
0:25:00 > 0:25:05Very well done. That takes your total up to 109.
0:25:05 > 0:25:09- Richard.- Very well played. Made a World Heritage Site in 1985.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12Let's look at the rest of the board.
0:25:12 > 0:25:17Great Wall is, of course, in China. Scored a massive 98 points.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20Historic Centre of Naples.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23- It's in Italy!- Oh, right! - In Naples, in fact.
0:25:23 > 0:25:2681 points. Better than Venice.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30It's not safe to walk the streets there!
0:25:30 > 0:25:33- That's a canal joke.- Yeah. - LAUGHTER
0:25:33 > 0:25:36Lake Baikal, it's in Russia.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40David, Skellig Michael - you weren't a million miles away.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42It's in the Republic of Ireland.
0:25:42 > 0:25:47A very low score, four points. Well done if you got that at home.
0:25:47 > 0:25:52At the end of round two, the losing pair with the highest score, I'm afraid it's David and James.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55I wasn't going to predict that!
0:25:55 > 0:25:58Unless, of course, this is tactical.
0:25:58 > 0:26:02- Yeah. He knows where Skellig Michael is.- He knows.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04- LAUGHTER - They're hustling.
0:26:04 > 0:26:09- They are gonna tidy up next time round.- Yeah, I can tell.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12It's been brilliant having you on the show.
0:26:12 > 0:26:17We will see you next time. I'm looking forward to that very much.
0:26:18 > 0:26:23For the remaining pairs things get even more exciting, as we enter the head-to-head.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33Very well done, Gayle and Tash, William and Suzanne.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35You've made it to the head-to-head.
0:26:35 > 0:26:39Only one pair can make it to the final and play for the jackpot,
0:26:39 > 0:26:42which currently stands at £1,500.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44AUDIENCE: Wooo!
0:26:45 > 0:26:48You're going head-to-head on the best of three questions.
0:26:48 > 0:26:53Each pair gives me just one answer, and you are allowed to confer.
0:26:53 > 0:26:58Come up with an answer that scores less than the other pair and you win that question.
0:26:58 > 0:27:02The first pair to get to the best of three will play for today's jackpot.
0:27:02 > 0:27:06- Let's play Pointless. - APPLAUSE
0:27:06 > 0:27:09Here is your first question.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:27:15 > 0:27:17..as they could.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19Characters in The Vicar Of Dibley.
0:27:19 > 0:27:25We're looking for any character who's appeared in 20 or more episodes of the BBC sitcom.
0:27:25 > 0:27:29Character names, not actors. We will accept first names.
0:27:29 > 0:27:33- There are seven names on the list. - OK.
0:27:33 > 0:27:38Gayle and Tash, because you played best so far, you get to go first.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41THEY WHISPER
0:27:45 > 0:27:50OK. We know The Vicar Of Dibley, but we can't remember the names
0:27:50 > 0:27:53of the more obscure characters,
0:27:53 > 0:27:55which is never going to be great.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59We're going to have to go for Hugo Horton.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02Hugo Horton has gone. William and Suzanne.
0:28:02 > 0:28:06Jim? Are you quite confident that's what he's called?
0:28:06 > 0:28:09- OK, I think we'll go for Jim, please.- Jim.- Yeah.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11Gayle and Tash said Hugo.
0:28:11 > 0:28:16Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said Hugo?
0:28:23 > 0:28:25Good answer.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29- APPLAUSE - Hugo, 21.
0:28:29 > 0:28:33- What are you thinking, Gayle? - Not sure whether they've beaten us.
0:28:33 > 0:28:37Let's find out. William and Suzanne have gone for Jim.
0:28:37 > 0:28:41Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said Jim.
0:28:48 > 0:28:51Ooh, it beats it!
0:28:51 > 0:28:5312 to 21.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57So William and Suzanne are ahead,
0:28:57 > 0:28:59one-nil.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01Played by Trevor Peacock.
0:29:01 > 0:29:07Only one answer would have beaten it, the character played by Roger Lloyd-Pack.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10His name is Owen Newitt, 10.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12There's Jim Trott on 12...
0:29:14 > 0:29:18..David Horton, that's Hugo's father, 21.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20Hugo Horton played by James Fleet.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23Alice Tinker played by Emma Chambers, 30.
0:29:23 > 0:29:27Dawn French's character, Geraldine Granger, 37.
0:29:27 > 0:29:31- Very well done if you got all of those at home.- Thanks, Richard.
0:29:31 > 0:29:38Here is your second question. Gayle and Tash, you have to win this to stay in the game.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:29:44 > 0:29:46..as they could. Richard.
0:29:46 > 0:29:52Always by "country", we mean a UN member that's a sovereign state in its own right.
0:29:52 > 0:29:57There are 14 countries whose English name ends in E on the UN website.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59Which is the most obscure of those?
0:29:59 > 0:30:02Thanks very much, Richard.
0:30:02 > 0:30:06William and Suzanne, you go first.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09WHISPERING
0:30:11 > 0:30:14Well, we came up with the same answer.
0:30:14 > 0:30:18We think it should be reasonably obscure.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21We're going to go for Belize.
0:30:21 > 0:30:22Belize.
0:30:22 > 0:30:26The most obscure one we can think of is Suriname,
0:30:26 > 0:30:31- but we're not sure whether we'll beat that.- Suriname.- Yeah.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34Belize. Suriname. William and Suzanne, Belize.
0:30:34 > 0:30:38Let's see if it's right and, if it is, how many people said Belize.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
0:30:53 > 0:30:56Six for Belize. An excellent answer.
0:30:56 > 0:31:00Suriname, it needs to be better than Belize.
0:31:00 > 0:31:04It's got to go below six! It's asking a lot.
0:31:04 > 0:31:08If it does, you stay in the game. Suriname.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11Is it right? How many people said it?
0:31:20 > 0:31:22Look at that! How fantastic!
0:31:22 > 0:31:24CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
0:31:26 > 0:31:29Brilliant answer! Suriname keeps you in the game.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31After two questions, you are one-all.
0:31:31 > 0:31:35Richard. Great answer. There are four pointless answers.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37Let's look at all the answers.
0:31:37 > 0:31:42This is how they're listed on the United Nations website.
0:31:42 > 0:31:47East Timor - officially, its English name is Timor Leste...
0:31:48 > 0:31:52..Cote D'Ivoire is the official name of the Ivory Coast...
0:32:07 > 0:32:10..Greece, 19. Chile, 24...
0:32:13 > 0:32:17- Well done if you got most of those at home.- Thank you very much.
0:32:17 > 0:32:23Whoever wins this question goes to the final and will be playing for that jackpot.
0:32:23 > 0:32:27We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:32:29 > 0:32:36- ..as they could. Richard. - We're looking for any national Sunday newspaper in the UK
0:32:36 > 0:32:40with a circulation over 100,000, as of the beginning of 2011.
0:32:40 > 0:32:45- There are 12 newspapers on this list.- 12 newspapers.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47Gayle and Tash, you go first.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50WHISPER
0:32:55 > 0:32:58OK, Gayle and Tash. You have an answer?
0:32:58 > 0:33:04We can't decide, so we're going to plump for the Independent On Sunday.
0:33:04 > 0:33:06William and Suzanne.
0:33:06 > 0:33:12We think we should go for the one that's popular in Scotland,
0:33:12 > 0:33:14where we live.
0:33:14 > 0:33:19And that's the Scotland On Sunday.
0:33:19 > 0:33:25OK. The Independent On Sunday, Gayle and Tash. Is it right?
0:33:25 > 0:33:28How many people said it?
0:33:36 > 0:33:38APPLAUSE
0:33:40 > 0:33:4436 people said the Independent On Sunday.
0:33:44 > 0:33:48William and Suzanne have gone for Scotland On Sunday.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51It has to go lower than 36 and it has to be correct.
0:33:51 > 0:33:57Let's see if it's right and, if it is, how many people said Scotland on Sunday.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02Oh! Bad luck!
0:34:04 > 0:34:09Bad luck! I'm afraid Scotland On Sunday is an incorrect answer.
0:34:09 > 0:34:13Which means Gayle and Tash are through to the final, two-one.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15Richard.
0:34:15 > 0:34:20So sorry, William and Suzanne. Its circulation's not big enough, just over 50,000.
0:34:20 > 0:34:24There are two Scottish papers on the list. Both would have won the point.
0:34:24 > 0:34:29At the bottom, The Sunday Post, the Scottish newspaper.
0:34:29 > 0:34:34According to the Audit Bureau of Circulation, over 100,000.
0:34:34 > 0:34:38The Sunday Mail, another Scottish paper...
0:34:38 > 0:34:42..Independent On Sunday, a very good answer...
0:34:56 > 0:35:01..The Sunday Times, the most popular on 75. The most recognisable.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03Thanks very much, Richard.
0:35:03 > 0:35:07At the end of the head-to-head, the losing pair, I'm afraid,
0:35:07 > 0:35:09is William and Suzanne.
0:35:09 > 0:35:15I thought Scotland On Sunday was a brilliant answer, you'd wrested it from Gayle and Tash.
0:35:15 > 0:35:20We've had you for longer, but I'm so sorry we haven't had you through the final.
0:35:20 > 0:35:24- Thank you so much for playing. - APPLAUSE
0:35:26 > 0:35:32It's time for our Pointless final and the chance to win our jackpot of £1,500.
0:35:39 > 0:35:46Congratulations, Gayle and Tash, you fought off the competition and have won our coveted Pointless trophy.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
0:35:55 > 0:35:58You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot,
0:35:58 > 0:36:01and the jackpot stands at £1,500.
0:36:01 > 0:36:03AUDIENCE: Oooh!
0:36:03 > 0:36:07The rules are very simple. To win that money,
0:36:07 > 0:36:11find a pointless answer, an answer that no-one could think of.
0:36:11 > 0:36:18We've had two pointless answers today. Find one more and you will go home with that £1,500.
0:36:18 > 0:36:22First, choose a category from three options. Here are your choices...
0:36:28 > 0:36:30- Rock music?- It's got to be.
0:36:30 > 0:36:34- We have to go for rock music. - TASH CHUCKLES
0:36:34 > 0:36:39- That's just through elimination. - It's got to be rock music.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42Let's find out what the question is.
0:36:42 > 0:36:47We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...
0:36:49 > 0:36:52..as they could. Richard.
0:36:52 > 0:36:57We're looking for any single released by the band Bon Jovi, prior to 2011.
0:36:57 > 0:37:02No collaborations or EPs or songs released by individual members.
0:37:02 > 0:37:06- Just any Bon Jovi singles that made it into the UK top 40.- Thanks.
0:37:06 > 0:37:09You have one minute to come up with three answers.
0:37:09 > 0:37:14All you need to win that £1,500 is for one of those to be pointless.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16Your 60 seconds start now.
0:37:16 > 0:37:21The only one I can think of that's obscure, Jesse, Don't You Take Your Love To Town.
0:37:21 > 0:37:24Jesse, Don't You Take Your Love To Town. OK.
0:37:24 > 0:37:28We can do Keep The Faith. We can do...
0:37:28 > 0:37:33- Raise Your Hands.- Whichever ones you think are obscure. I'm...
0:37:33 > 0:37:36Try and think of any more.
0:37:36 > 0:37:40Think of what Caroline's made you watch!
0:37:48 > 0:37:51Plumbing the depths of my knowledge.
0:37:51 > 0:37:55What do you reckon? Any on albums you can think of?
0:37:55 > 0:37:58Otherwise, we've got three
0:37:58 > 0:38:00that we have to go for.
0:38:00 > 0:38:04Jesse, Don't Take Your Love To Town, Keep The Faith and Raise Your Hands.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07Yeah? I haven't heard of the other two.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11We have to go with those.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13Yeah? Are they the ones?
0:38:13 > 0:38:18- Yeah. We have to go with those. - Well, there's your minute up.
0:38:18 > 0:38:23We're looking for Bon Jovi singles. I now need your three answers.
0:38:23 > 0:38:28- We've seen them in concert! - Standing here, I can't recall.
0:38:28 > 0:38:31- This is a quite a good category. - Brilliant.
0:38:31 > 0:38:37When you're standing here it's so difficult to remember things you should really remember.
0:38:37 > 0:38:39We do have three options.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42- Keep The Faith.- Keep The Faith.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45- Raise Your Hands.- Raise Your Hands.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48And Jesse, Don't Take Your Love To Town.
0:38:48 > 0:38:52I have to say, I've never heard of any of those.
0:38:52 > 0:38:57- Which do you think's your best shot? - Probably Jesse, Don't Take Your Love To Town.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00If it is one. I THINK it is.
0:39:00 > 0:39:04We'll put Jesse, Don't Take Your Love To Town last.
0:39:04 > 0:39:08What shall we put first, your least likely pointless answer?
0:39:08 > 0:39:12- Raise Your Hands is more recent. Maybe that one?- Go on, then.
0:39:12 > 0:39:18- Probably Raise Your Hands would be least likely. - We'll put Raise Your Hands first.
0:39:18 > 0:39:22We'll put them on the board in that order.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24Here they are...
0:39:30 > 0:39:34We're looking for Bon Jovi singles. This is your least confident answer.
0:39:34 > 0:39:39You only need to find one pointless answer to win that £1,500.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42Let's see if it's right and, if it is,
0:39:42 > 0:39:44how many people said it.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48Oooh!
0:39:48 > 0:39:51- That's an incorrect answer.- Yikes!
0:39:51 > 0:39:53Oh!
0:39:53 > 0:39:55I'm surprised by that.
0:39:55 > 0:40:00We'll find out from Richard at the end why, but it IS incorrect.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03- Maybe it was called something else. - It's not a pointless answer.
0:40:03 > 0:40:06You have two more chances to win today's jackpot.
0:40:06 > 0:40:11- What would you do with £1,500? - Go on holiday?- Yeah.
0:40:11 > 0:40:15- Sounds good.- Holiday. Maybe take in a Bon Jovi gig!- Yeah!
0:40:17 > 0:40:21Very good. Keep The Faith. This has to be pointless.
0:40:21 > 0:40:25And it has to be correct for you to win that jackpot of £1,500.
0:40:25 > 0:40:29Let's see if it is both those things. Keep The Faith.
0:40:29 > 0:40:31Is it right?
0:40:32 > 0:40:36- It IS right!- Phew. - Thank goodness for that!
0:40:36 > 0:40:41If this goes all the way to zero, you'll leave with £1,500...
0:40:43 > 0:40:44Oh, no!
0:40:44 > 0:40:47APPLAUSE
0:40:49 > 0:40:53Eight people remembered Keep The Faith.
0:40:53 > 0:40:59Eight people followed the instructions on the front of the single and kept the faith.
0:40:59 > 0:41:04Can I ask, have five other Bon Jovi singles swum into your heads?
0:41:04 > 0:41:09I think my brain's turned into mush. There's nothing in there any more.
0:41:09 > 0:41:14OK! Well, you said this was the answer you had most confidence in
0:41:14 > 0:41:19to be a pointless answer.
0:41:19 > 0:41:22This has to be right and it has to be pointless.
0:41:22 > 0:41:29It has to go all the way to the bottom of the column and you will leave with a jackpot of £1,500.
0:41:29 > 0:41:33Let's see. Jesse, Don't Take Your Love To Town.
0:41:37 > 0:41:41- Oh, no! - I'm so sorry.- It's all right.
0:41:41 > 0:41:46- APPLAUSE - Oh, no! Bad luck!
0:41:48 > 0:41:53For some reason, that is also an incorrect answer which means, I'm afraid,
0:41:53 > 0:41:59you didn't find that pointless answer and don't win today's jackpot of £1,500, which rolls over.
0:41:59 > 0:42:04You've been brilliant contestants and you do take home our Pointless trophy.
0:42:04 > 0:42:07APPLAUSE
0:42:07 > 0:42:09- SIGHS - So, Richard.
0:42:09 > 0:42:14Unlucky, Gayle and Tash. You can hold your heads high when you walk into school.
0:42:14 > 0:42:18Raise Your Hands was an album track from Slippery When Wet.
0:42:18 > 0:42:20It was never a single.
0:42:20 > 0:42:26Jesse, Don't Take Your Love To Town, firstly, it was a Jon Bon Jovi solo single.
0:42:26 > 0:42:29Secondly, it was Janie, Don't Take Your Love To Town.
0:42:29 > 0:42:33- He didn't mind what Jesse did. - Jesse took her love everywhere!
0:42:33 > 0:42:35There's no telling Jesse.
0:42:35 > 0:42:39Let's look at some of the pointless answers. You may recognise some...
0:42:46 > 0:42:49..Three songs off the Keep The Faith album...
0:42:50 > 0:42:54..In These Arms. And three more Top Ten hits...
0:42:59 > 0:43:04All of those were pointless answers. Very well done if you got any at home.
0:43:04 > 0:43:09Well, you were round two last time. This time, through to the final.
0:43:09 > 0:43:14Fantastic contestants, but we do have to say goodbye to you.
0:43:14 > 0:43:18- It's been brilliant having you on the show. - BOTH: Thank you.
0:43:21 > 0:43:24Nobody's won our jackpot, so it rolls over.
0:43:24 > 0:43:28On the next show, we'll be playing for £2,500.
0:43:28 > 0:43:30AUDIENCE: Oooh!
0:43:32 > 0:43:36- Join us next time. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.- Goodbye.
0:43:36 > 0:43:38And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
