Episode 49 Pointless

-CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

-Thank you very much indeed.

Hello, I'm Alexander Armstrong.

A very warm welcome to Pointless, where obvious answers mean nothing

and obscure answers mean everything.

-Let's meet today's players.

-APPLAUSE

Welcome back, William and Suzanne.

You were on the show last time. Remind us how you did.

-We had a disappointing exit in the first round.

-Football teams with Town or City in their name!

Oh, dear. Oh, dear. Oh, dear.

-Remind us what you do, William.

-I'm a sheep farmer.

Any sheep in the show, Richard?

The good news is - for everybody else - no.

-LAUGHTER

-More's the pity!

-Suzanne, what do you do?

-I'm a tennis coach.

-What are your areas of expertise?

-I would like to see geography or economics come up.

Well, very best of luck. It's lovely having you back.

Welcome, David and James. How do you know each other?

We met at work about ten years ago and we've been friends ever since.

What are you hoping will come up?

General blokey topics, really. Films, sport.

-James, what about you?

-I wouldn't mind science coming up.

I've always liked watching science TV shows, Tomorrow's World.

Are you good at remembering things?

I was trying to remember the name of who presented Tomorrow's World, I think it was Judith Hann.

You know what? That's ruined round one!

-ALEXANDER CHUCKLES

-Well, very best of luck to you.

Next, welcome back, Gayle and Tash. You were on the show last time.

-Remind us how you did.

-We went out in the second round cos we didn't read enough celebrity biographies.

Celebrity biographies. That was really tough.

All that Shakespeare I read at university,

-never realising I should have been reading Jordan's autobiography.

-Reading Ooh, What A Lovely Pair!

Not by Jordan, but by Ant and Dec.

I know now. Yeah.

-Gayle, what do you hope will come up?

-I quite like music.

-Possibly a bit of film.

-Well, very best of luck to the pair of you.

And finally, we've got Alejandra and Paul. How do you know each other?

We met about four years ago in a night club in Santiago in Chile.

-How run-of-the-mill(!)

-That's where WE met!

-Yes.

That Santiago night club.

-That's right.

-A strange man was talking to Alejandra.

I was standing to one side, minding my own business.

-And she said, "Hola!"

-Out of the frying pan into the fire.

-I think she regrets it now, but...!

-No!

-Alejandra! She can't!

-She's come all the way from Chile.

-Exactly.

-Paul, what do you do?

One of my jobs is a Geordie interpreter.

Is that REALLY a job?

Alej saw the job, actually, so it's her fault, in the newspaper.

She said, "You've been helping me out so much in Newcastle."

-Do you understand Geordie well, Alejandra, now?

-Um....

-Maybe 85%. It depends on the person.

-It's quite hard.

If your ear's not tuned into it.

Very best of luck to the pair of you. We'll find out more throughout the show.

There's one person left to introduce. If he was a dinosaur, he'd be an obscurosaurus.

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

-Hiya.

-Hello.

-How are you this afternoon?

-I'm very well. How are you?

-Good.

-You're from near Geordie land.

-GEORDIE ACCENT:

-That's right.

-I didn't quite...

-I think he said he was.

Where exactly are you from?

Er, Rothbury.

Rothbury. It's near the border with Scotland.

-And how are you this afternoon?

-I'm very well.

-He's very well.

-It's good to hear. Thank you very much.

It should be a good show. Everybody wanted film, and film there is.

Wow! Richard! Dishing out the sweets today, aren't you?

I am. I made a last-minute choice between film and sheep.

-And film won.

-LAUGHTER

We put our questions to 100 people. We are after the obscure answers.

Everyone's trying to find a pointless answer that none of our 100 people gave.

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

Ian and Jayne won the jackpot last time,

so today's jackpot starts off £1,000.

-Right, let's play Pointless.

-APPLAUSE

In the first round, each of you must give me one answer,

and you cannot confer.

Whichever team has the highest score will be eliminated, so be careful.

An incorrect answer scores the maximum of 100 points.

Good luck. Our first category this afternoon is...

..Can you decide who's going first, who's going second?

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

We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...

..as they could. Bill Murray films. Richard.

Any feature film made for cinema release for which Bill Murray received an acting credit

up to the start of 2011.

TV films don't count, nor do any films where he plays himself, such as Space Jam.

But voiced performances do count.

Suzanne and William, you all drew lots and you get to go first.

Suzanne, Bill Murray fan, are you?

At the moment, I'm struggling to think who Bill Murray is!

-Um...

-OK.

-No. Not good.

-So that's a tough one.

-It's...very tough.

-You're going to have to make up a film title.

I'm going to guess Groundhog Day.

-You genuinely couldn't think who Bill Murray was?

-No.

-This is a complete stab in the dark.

-It really... Yeah. It really is.

Let's see if it's right and, if it is, how many people said Groundhog Day. Good luck.

It's right!

That's a great score for a punt like that.

38 for Groundhog Day. Richard.

Very well done, Suzanne!

He plays Phil Connors who's forced to live the same day over and over.

I thought you were about to, by being knocked out in the first round!

38 for Groundhog Day. Richard.

I get it. Groundhog Day is from...

-Well done. You got it from the back of your mind.

-I don't know where.

Great score. Groundhog Day.

-Oh, stop doing that!

-LAUGHTER

James. Remember, we're looking for Bill Murray films.

One's come to mind. A film where he sports a lot of different tracksuits.

-Broken Flowers?

-Let's see if it's correct and, if it is, how many people said Broken Flowers.

Well done. It's right.

CHEERING

That's a great answer. I thought that was going all the way down.

-Richard.

-Well played, James. That's from 2005.

-As you say, plenty of tracksuit work in that film.

-Now then, Gayle.

Bill Murray films.

I'm pretty sure that he was in the version of A Christmas Carol

which was called Scrooged.

Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said Scrooged.

Very well done.

Eight points for Scrooged.

-Richard.

-Yeah, from 1988. It's their version of A Christmas Carol.

He plays a cynical television executive.

It's weird, cos all the television executives who look after this show

at the BBC are just lovely!

Less cynical people you could not hope to meet.

Talented, nurturing...

-Philanthropic.

-Lovely. No Christmas Carol needed for them.

No!

-Alejandra.

-I have to be honest, I'm not a big fan of Bill Murray.

I'm not 100% sure I have the name right.

-It'll be a total gamble.

-OK.

Um... It's a movie called Annie? Could be? About a little girl?

You're hoping to score as few points as possible and that it's correct.

Let's see if it is, and let's see how far down it goes.

Is it correct? And how many people said Annie?

Oh, bad luck, Alejandra!

Unfortunately, Bill Murray is not in Annie.

You score the maximum of 100 points.

-Annie, Richard.

-Sorry, Alejandra. Not Bill Murray, I'm afraid.

The person whose name is most similar in that is Tim Curry,

-whether that's who you were thinking of.

-Probably. I don't know.

If we were doing actors who rhyme with Bill Murray, it's a very good answer.

We're halfway through the round, so let's take a look at the scores.

James and David looking fantastic!

Just two points. Then we come up to eight.

Gayle and Tash, another lovely answer.

38, Suzanne and William, not bad.

Alejandra and Paul, you are way out in front.

Paul, the pressure is on you to find a really obscure answer.

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

Paul, you are the high-scorers on 100. You know what you have to do.

-Do you know Bill Murray films well?

-I've got one which I think's OK.

I'm not sure if it'll be pointless. The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou.

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

It's right.

I'm thinking this will be a low scorer.

Very well done, Paul!

-CHEERS AND WHISTLES

-That's a pointless answer.

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

..And it scores you nothing!

-Richard.

-You can't do any better than that.

He plays Steve Zissou, an oceanographer.

We're looking for Bill Murray films. Tash.

The high-scorers are Paul and Alejandra.

If you can score 91 points or less, you are through to the next round.

OK, I have... I'm gonna... Eugh! I'll gamble a little bit, I think.

I'm going for Lost In Translation.

If this is right and it goes below that red line,

you are through to the next round.

Let's see if it is and how many people said Lost In Translation.

Very well done.

Wow! 13!

13 for Lost In Translation takes your total up to 21.

-Richard.

-Yeah, released in 2003.

He received a Best Actor nomination but didn't win. Never won an Oscar.

-Never?

-Amazing, when you think of the films he's been in. Up to the start of 2011, that is.

-American Academy, what are you playing at?

-Groundhog Day should have swept the board.

Should have.

-Year after year.

-LAUGHTER

Now, David and James, you are on two,

thanks to James's exceptional answer with Broken Flowers.

David, I think you'll do even better.

I think if anyone can find another pointless Bill Murray film

-I'm looking at him now.

-I'll do my best.

Er... So, the answer I'm going to go for...

..is Rushmore.

There's your red line.

Let's see if you can clear that.

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

It's right and you're through.

Let's see if this can take us down to zero.

Yes! Very well done!

CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

Fantastic answer, Rushmore. A pointless answer.

It adds £250 to today's jackpot, taking the total up to £1,500.

It scores you nothing, leaving you with a very impressive total of two.

-Richard.

-Another brilliant film, Rushmore, from 1998.

-He loved the script so much he said he'd be in the film for free.

-Wow!

Maybe a Lifetime Achievement Oscar. I'm hoping there's a lot more left.

-He should get something.

-Something?

-We should send him a Pointless trophy.

-Consider that done.

Be something of a surprise for him in Laurel Canyon, opening his post.

-"This is quite heavy and they haven't paid the postage!"

-RICHARD LAUGHS

We are looking for Bill Murray films, William.

Our high-scorers are Paul and Alejandra.

If you can score 61 or less with this answer, you and Suzanne are through to the next round.

-OK.

-What are you thinking?

-I'm going to gamble on an obscure one.

-Suzanne?

-He's panicking me again!

Yeah! OK. What are you thinking?

-What About Bob?

-What About Bob. Well, there is your red line.

If you can come below that, you are through to the next round.

Maybe it'll be another pointless answer and we'll add 250 quid to the jackpot.

What About Bob? How many people said that? Is it right?

It is right.

You ARE through.

Is it pointless?

Oh, no! Not quite!

It's all but pointless. That scores you two.

-Richard, What About Bob?

-Well played, William.

It's from 1991, plays alongside Richard Dreyfuss who plays his psychiatrist. Another good film.

There's a load of pointless answers. Well done if you got any of these at home.

Charlie's Angels, where he plays Bosley.

Ed Wood, alongside Johnny Depp.

He's the voice of the badger in Fantastic Mr Fox, alongside George Clooney and Meryl Streep.

Garfield, also, he's the voice for.

Meatballs, one of his early comedies.

Rushmore, we had from David.

The Life Aquatic, we had from Paul.

He plays one of Dustin Hoffman's friends in Tootsie.

All of those are pointless answers.

Let's look at the ones that most of our 100 people said.

A couple of these will be familiar. Lost In Translation from Tash.

Groundhog Day from Suzanne. Saw you through to the next round.

Right at the top, another film he didn't get an Oscar for!

-Fantastic film!

-Ghostbusters II scored 11. That would have been a good answer.

So, at the end of round one, the losing pair with the highest score,

I'm afraid, it's Paul and Alejandra. Oh, dear!

And Paul, you gave us a pointless answer.

You now know a lot more about Bill Murray films than you did.

You'll never forget all those pointless answers.

A great shame to say goodbye. We'll see much more of you next time.

Meanwhile, thanks very much for playing. Great contestants.

For the remaining three pairs, it's now time for round two.

Only two pairs can make it to the head-to-head.

One of the teams will be leaving at the end of this round.

Our category for round two is...

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

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

And our question concerns...

We're about to show you a list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

We asked 100 people to tell us in which country each of them is found.

-Richard.

-We'll show you six sites on each pass.

The more obscure ones score fewer points.

If you tell us the wrong country, you'll score 100 points.

-There's 12 for you to have a go at at home.

-Thanks very much.

So we are looking for the countries in which these UNESCO World Heritage Sites are found...

..I'll read those one more time...

..Now, these are the UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Tell me which countries they are found in, William.

I think I'll go for Yellowstone National Park.

-And...?

-The USA.

Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many knew Yellowstone, USA.

A lot of people know it.

-81 points.

-Yeah. Big score. The first National Park in the world.

Yellowstone National Park, from 1872.

There you go. Now then, James.

UNESCO World Heritage sites.

I definitely know one of them.

I'm going to go for Machu Picchu.

-And I think it may be in Peru.

-Machu Picchu, Peru.

Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people knew Machu Picchu, Peru.

It's right.

Good answer, James.

-39 for Machu Picchu.

-Yeah, a 15th-century Inca site.

-Machu Picchu.

-Thank you. Now, Gayle.

We are looking for the countries in which you will find

these UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

I'm going to play it safe.

Aachen Cathedral, Germany. I lived in Aachen for a time.

That's probably a brilliant answer.

Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said Aachen Cathedral, Germany.

Very good answer. The best answer yet.

Aachen Cathedral.

Playing it safe, but it scored you 26.

Oldest cathedral in northern Europe. Have you been to Aachen Cathedral?

-Yes, I did.

-Is it nice?

-It's all right. It's a cathedral.

-I will tell UNESCO. They'll be delighted.

-Sorry, UNESCO.

Let's take a look at the rest.

Taj Mahal, it's in India, of course.

Would have scored you 97 points.

97 points! Also a Taj Mahal on Kentish Town Road, isn't there?

-Very good one. Yes.

-We wouldn't have accepted that.

Serengeti National Park is in Tanzania.

Famous for the migration of the wildebeest. Eight points.

Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was incarcerated,

would have scored you 26 points. It's in South Africa, of course.

Thank you, Richard.

We're halfway through the round. Let's take a look at the scores.

26 points, Gayle! Aachen Cathedral.

Very good. Great answer. James on 39.

Not bad at all, then, way out in front,

William and Suzanne on 81.

Suzanne, how good are you on your UNESCO World Heritage Sites?

-We'll find out in a minute.

-I think we probably shall.

-Yes.

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

We're going to put six more UNESCO World Heritage Sites on the board.

And we have got...

RICHARD CHUCKLES

..I'm going to read those again...

Remember, we are looking for the country in which each of these is found.

You're trying to find the one that the fewest people knew. Tash?

Um...

-I'm going to go for the Acropolis and say Greece.

-Acropolis, Greece.

The high-scorers are William and Suzanne on 81.

If you can score 54 or less,

if you come below that red line, through to the next round.

Let's see if the Acropolis is in Greece and, if it is, how many people said it.

-APPLAUSE

-Quite a high score, there.

That takes you up to 98.

Richard.

European Cultural Heritage said

the Acropolis is the preeminent monument in the history of Europe.

-Means "highest city" in Greek.

-Now, then, David.

It comes to you.

The high-scorers are now Tash and Gayle.

If you score 58 or less,

-you're through to the next round.

-OK. It's a tough board.

-Have you been to any of those places?

-No!

Would you like to?

The Historic Centre of Naples might be a nice place to visit.

Not after dark! I'm not saying where it is.

I think I might know where it is, but it might be quite high scoring.

The only thing that's not in that title

-is the name of the country.

-That's right.

I'm going for Skellig Michael,

which I have a sneaky feeling might be on Shetland.

Which is part of the UK, so Skellig Michael, United Kingdom.

If Skellig Michael, UK gets you below that line, you are through.

Let's see if it's right and, if it is, how many people said Skellig Michael.

Bad luck, David, that is an incorrect answer.

You score the maximum of 100 points.

That gives you a total of 139.

-Richard.

-I won't give the correct answer in case Suzanne wants a go at the same question.

Suzanne, the high-scorers

are now David and James on 139.

If you score 57 or less, you're through to the head-to-head.

I think I'll have to go for Petra and hope it's low-scoring enough.

I think Petra's in Jordan.

Petra, Jordan. This has to score 57 or less for you to stay in the game.

There's your red line.

Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said Petra, Jordan.

It's right.

You are through to the next round.

Very well done. That takes your total up to 109.

-Richard.

-Very well played. Made a World Heritage Site in 1985.

Let's look at the rest of the board.

Great Wall is, of course, in China. Scored a massive 98 points.

Historic Centre of Naples.

-It's in Italy!

-Oh, right!

-In Naples, in fact.

81 points. Better than Venice.

It's not safe to walk the streets there!

-That's a canal joke.

-Yeah.

-LAUGHTER

Lake Baikal, it's in Russia.

David, Skellig Michael - you weren't a million miles away.

It's in the Republic of Ireland.

A very low score, four points. Well done if you got that at home.

At the end of round two, the losing pair with the highest score, I'm afraid it's David and James.

I wasn't going to predict that!

Unless, of course, this is tactical.

-Yeah. He knows where Skellig Michael is.

-He knows.

-LAUGHTER

-They're hustling.

-They are gonna tidy up next time round.

-Yeah, I can tell.

It's been brilliant having you on the show.

We will see you next time. I'm looking forward to that very much.

For the remaining pairs things get even more exciting, as we enter the head-to-head.

Very well done, Gayle and Tash, William and Suzanne.

You've made it to the head-to-head.

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

which currently stands at £1,500.

AUDIENCE: Wooo!

You're going head-to-head on the best of three questions.

Each pair gives me just one answer, and you are allowed to confer.

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

The first pair to get to the best of three will play for today's jackpot.

-Let's play Pointless.

-APPLAUSE

Here is your first question.

We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...

..as they could.

Characters in The Vicar Of Dibley.

We're looking for any character who's appeared in 20 or more episodes of the BBC sitcom.

Character names, not actors. We will accept first names.

-There are seven names on the list.

-OK.

Gayle and Tash, because you played best so far, you get to go first.

THEY WHISPER

OK. We know The Vicar Of Dibley, but we can't remember the names

of the more obscure characters,

which is never going to be great.

We're going to have to go for Hugo Horton.

Hugo Horton has gone. William and Suzanne.

Jim? Are you quite confident that's what he's called?

-OK, I think we'll go for Jim, please.

-Jim.

-Yeah.

Gayle and Tash said Hugo.

Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said Hugo?

Good answer.

-APPLAUSE

-Hugo, 21.

-What are you thinking, Gayle?

-Not sure whether they've beaten us.

Let's find out. William and Suzanne have gone for Jim.

Let's see if that's right and, if it is, how many people said Jim.

Ooh, it beats it!

12 to 21.

So William and Suzanne are ahead,

one-nil.

Played by Trevor Peacock.

Only one answer would have beaten it, the character played by Roger Lloyd-Pack.

His name is Owen Newitt, 10.

There's Jim Trott on 12...

..David Horton, that's Hugo's father, 21.

Hugo Horton played by James Fleet.

Alice Tinker played by Emma Chambers, 30.

Dawn French's character, Geraldine Granger, 37.

-Very well done if you got all of those at home.

-Thanks, Richard.

Here is your second question. Gayle and Tash, you have to win this to stay in the game.

We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...

..as they could. Richard.

Always by "country", we mean a UN member that's a sovereign state in its own right.

There are 14 countries whose English name ends in E on the UN website.

Which is the most obscure of those?

Thanks very much, Richard.

William and Suzanne, you go first.

WHISPERING

Well, we came up with the same answer.

We think it should be reasonably obscure.

We're going to go for Belize.

Belize.

The most obscure one we can think of is Suriname,

-but we're not sure whether we'll beat that.

-Suriname.

-Yeah.

Belize. Suriname. William and Suzanne, Belize.

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

CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

Six for Belize. An excellent answer.

Suriname, it needs to be better than Belize.

It's got to go below six! It's asking a lot.

If it does, you stay in the game. Suriname.

Is it right? How many people said it?

Look at that! How fantastic!

CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

Brilliant answer! Suriname keeps you in the game.

After two questions, you are one-all.

Richard. Great answer. There are four pointless answers.

Let's look at all the answers.

This is how they're listed on the United Nations website.

East Timor - officially, its English name is Timor Leste...

..Cote D'Ivoire is the official name of the Ivory Coast...

..Greece, 19. Chile, 24...

-Well done if you got most of those at home.

-Thank you very much.

Whoever wins this question goes to the final and will be playing for that jackpot.

We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...

-..as they could. Richard.

-We're looking for any national Sunday newspaper in the UK

with a circulation over 100,000, as of the beginning of 2011.

-There are 12 newspapers on this list.

-12 newspapers.

Gayle and Tash, you go first.

WHISPER

OK, Gayle and Tash. You have an answer?

We can't decide, so we're going to plump for the Independent On Sunday.

William and Suzanne.

We think we should go for the one that's popular in Scotland,

where we live.

And that's the Scotland On Sunday.

OK. The Independent On Sunday, Gayle and Tash. Is it right?

How many people said it?

APPLAUSE

36 people said the Independent On Sunday.

William and Suzanne have gone for Scotland On Sunday.

It has to go lower than 36 and it has to be correct.

Let's see if it's right and, if it is, how many people said Scotland on Sunday.

Oh! Bad luck!

Bad luck! I'm afraid Scotland On Sunday is an incorrect answer.

Which means Gayle and Tash are through to the final, two-one.

Richard.

So sorry, William and Suzanne. Its circulation's not big enough, just over 50,000.

There are two Scottish papers on the list. Both would have won the point.

At the bottom, The Sunday Post, the Scottish newspaper.

According to the Audit Bureau of Circulation, over 100,000.

The Sunday Mail, another Scottish paper...

..Independent On Sunday, a very good answer...

..The Sunday Times, the most popular on 75. The most recognisable.

Thanks very much, Richard.

At the end of the head-to-head, the losing pair, I'm afraid,

is William and Suzanne.

I thought Scotland On Sunday was a brilliant answer, you'd wrested it from Gayle and Tash.

We've had you for longer, but I'm so sorry we haven't had you through the final.

-Thank you so much for playing.

-APPLAUSE

It's time for our Pointless final and the chance to win our jackpot of £1,500.

Congratulations, Gayle and Tash, you fought off the competition and have won our coveted Pointless trophy.

CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

You now have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot,

and the jackpot stands at £1,500.

AUDIENCE: Oooh!

The rules are very simple. To win that money,

find a pointless answer, an answer that no-one could think of.

We've had two pointless answers today. Find one more and you will go home with that £1,500.

First, choose a category from three options. Here are your choices...

-Rock music?

-It's got to be.

-We have to go for rock music.

-TASH CHUCKLES

-That's just through elimination.

-It's got to be rock music.

Let's find out what the question is.

We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...

..as they could. Richard.

We're looking for any single released by the band Bon Jovi, prior to 2011.

No collaborations or EPs or songs released by individual members.

-Just any Bon Jovi singles that made it into the UK top 40.

-Thanks.

You have one minute to come up with three answers.

All you need to win that £1,500 is for one of those to be pointless.

Your 60 seconds start now.

The only one I can think of that's obscure, Jesse, Don't You Take Your Love To Town.

Jesse, Don't You Take Your Love To Town. OK.

We can do Keep The Faith. We can do...

-Raise Your Hands.

-Whichever ones you think are obscure. I'm...

Try and think of any more.

Think of what Caroline's made you watch!

Plumbing the depths of my knowledge.

What do you reckon? Any on albums you can think of?

Otherwise, we've got three

that we have to go for.

Jesse, Don't Take Your Love To Town, Keep The Faith and Raise Your Hands.

Yeah? I haven't heard of the other two.

We have to go with those.

Yeah? Are they the ones?

-Yeah. We have to go with those.

-Well, there's your minute up.

We're looking for Bon Jovi singles. I now need your three answers.

-We've seen them in concert!

-Standing here, I can't recall.

-This is a quite a good category.

-Brilliant.

When you're standing here it's so difficult to remember things you should really remember.

We do have three options.

-Keep The Faith.

-Keep The Faith.

-Raise Your Hands.

-Raise Your Hands.

And Jesse, Don't Take Your Love To Town.

I have to say, I've never heard of any of those.

-Which do you think's your best shot?

-Probably Jesse, Don't Take Your Love To Town.

If it is one. I THINK it is.

We'll put Jesse, Don't Take Your Love To Town last.

What shall we put first, your least likely pointless answer?

-Raise Your Hands is more recent. Maybe that one?

-Go on, then.

-Probably Raise Your Hands would be least likely.

-We'll put Raise Your Hands first.

We'll put them on the board in that order.

Here they are...

We're looking for Bon Jovi singles. This is your least confident answer.

You only need to find one pointless answer to win that £1,500.

Let's see if it's right and, if it is,

how many people said it.

Oooh!

-That's an incorrect answer.

-Yikes!

Oh!

I'm surprised by that.

We'll find out from Richard at the end why, but it IS incorrect.

-Maybe it was called something else.

-It's not a pointless answer.

You have two more chances to win today's jackpot.

-What would you do with £1,500?

-Go on holiday?

-Yeah.

-Sounds good.

-Holiday. Maybe take in a Bon Jovi gig!

-Yeah!

Very good. Keep The Faith. This has to be pointless.

And it has to be correct for you to win that jackpot of £1,500.

Let's see if it is both those things. Keep The Faith.

Is it right?

-It IS right!

-Phew.

-Thank goodness for that!

If this goes all the way to zero, you'll leave with £1,500...

Oh, no!

APPLAUSE

Eight people remembered Keep The Faith.

Eight people followed the instructions on the front of the single and kept the faith.

Can I ask, have five other Bon Jovi singles swum into your heads?

I think my brain's turned into mush. There's nothing in there any more.

OK! Well, you said this was the answer you had most confidence in

to be a pointless answer.

This has to be right and it has to be pointless.

It has to go all the way to the bottom of the column and you will leave with a jackpot of £1,500.

Let's see. Jesse, Don't Take Your Love To Town.

-Oh, no!

-I'm so sorry.

-It's all right.

-APPLAUSE

-Oh, no! Bad luck!

For some reason, that is also an incorrect answer which means, I'm afraid,

you didn't find that pointless answer and don't win today's jackpot of £1,500, which rolls over.

You've been brilliant contestants and you do take home our Pointless trophy.

APPLAUSE

-SIGHS

-So, Richard.

Unlucky, Gayle and Tash. You can hold your heads high when you walk into school.

Raise Your Hands was an album track from Slippery When Wet.

It was never a single.

Jesse, Don't Take Your Love To Town, firstly, it was a Jon Bon Jovi solo single.

Secondly, it was Janie, Don't Take Your Love To Town.

-He didn't mind what Jesse did.

-Jesse took her love everywhere!

There's no telling Jesse.

Let's look at some of the pointless answers. You may recognise some...

..Three songs off the Keep The Faith album...

..In These Arms. And three more Top Ten hits...

All of those were pointless answers. Very well done if you got any at home.

Well, you were round two last time. This time, through to the final.

Fantastic contestants, but we do have to say goodbye to you.

-It's been brilliant having you on the show.

-BOTH: Thank you.

Nobody's won our jackpot, so it rolls over.

On the next show, we'll be playing for £2,500.

AUDIENCE: Oooh!

-Join us next time. Meanwhile, it's goodbye from Richard.

-Goodbye.

And it's goodbye from me. Goodbye.
