Episode 5 Pointless

Thank you! Hello. I'm Alexander Armstrong and welcome to Pointless,

where the lowest scorers are the biggest winners. Let's meet today's players.

First we welcome back Becky and Kay. This is your second time on the show.

Everyone gets two shots. Remind us what happened last time.

We went out in the first round, which was a bit gutting. It was football.

-What categories are you hoping for?

-Oh, anything kind of TV, film, life and times of Bill Murray.

-That kind of thing.

-You've got a Bill Murray fixation.

-I do, yeah.

After the last show, I was asked to sign a photograph...of Bill Murray.

OK, well, good luck. Let's hope Bill Murray and all those other categories come up.

-Next we welcome back Charles and Peter. Charles, what do you do in your spare time?

-Am dram.

-Really?

-Yes, I've just appeared as the dame in Jack And The Beanstalk.

I would have given excellent money to have seen that!

-A lot of people do.

-And we thought we were up for an Oscar for appearing in The King's Speech.

-You did?!

-Yes! My face is blurred, but it's me.

-LAUGHTER

-That's fantastic.

-And then there's Charlie.

-Even more blurred!

-It's still me.

-Very best of luck.

Next we welcome Rick and Elle. How do you two know each other?

We're married, husband and wife. Known each other 25 years and been married 22.

-I met him at a pub.

-Where are you from, Rick?

-We now live in Glasgow. We've been there for seven years.

-Welcome. Great to have you here.

-Finally, Mark and Martin. Welcome. How do you know each other?

-Well, we're both police officers.

We work in a village just outside Swansea in South Wales.

Please tell me you sit in a car together and ask each other pointless questions.

-For the last couple of weeks we have!

-The very best of luck to you. We'll find out more about all of you.

There's only one more person to introduce. He's the Sherpa who guides us to the peak of obscurity.

-I love these lines! He's my Pointless friend. He's Richard.

-Hello.

Yes.

-Hiya.

-The Sherpa. I'm guessing you carry everything...

-..on your forehead. I think that's what Sherpas do.

-I don't think so!

Don't they have a strap? And a big thing there they carry like that?

-Isn't that right?

-LAUGHTER

Shall we get on?

We've got two returning pairs - Becky and Kay were very unlucky.

Football came up. Sometimes subjects absolutely trip you up. They did well, but got knocked out.

And Charles and Peter as well. I knew I recognised you. I loved you in that film.

And two strong new pairs. It's going to be awesome.

We put all our questions to 100 people before the show, but we're after the obscure answers

that those 100 people didn't get. The fewer people got the answer, the better your chance of winning.

You're trying to find a pointless answer that none of the 100 gave.

Each time that happens, we'll add £250 to the jackpot. Nobody's won it yet this series,

so we add another £1,000 to last time, so today's jackpot starts off at...

Right. Let's play Pointless.

Right. Each of you must give me one answer and you cannot confer with your partner.

Whichever team has the highest score at the end is eliminated.

OK. Our first category is...

Mythology. Can you decide who's going to go first and who's going to go second?

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

We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name...

as many Greek and Roman deities as the could.

-Richard?

-Very simple. The correct answers are gods and goddesses from Greek or Roman mythology.

-Very, very best of luck.

-OK, now Becky and Kay, you all drew lots before the show.

-Today you get to go first. Is that good?

-No! We really didn't want to go first again!

-Ah.

Well, we'll give you a choice of seven possible answers in each pass.

The first set of seven answers looks like this.

Now at least one of those answers is pointless, but there's also at least one incorrect answer.

Pick that and you score the maximum of 100 points.

-So, Kay...

-Yeah.

-There's your list.

How good is your mythology?

-Classical mythology.

-Mine's pretty bad.

Becky studied Classics for A-level so I'm hoping she'll redeem us on the second go.

Fingers crossed!

Fingers crossed, fingers crossed.

Erm...

I think I'll go for...

Aphrodite.

Aphrodite. There's Aphrodite right at the top.

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

Well, it's right.

Not bad, Kay.

21!

Not a bad score at all for Aphrodite.

-Richard?

-Very safe start, but well done. The Greek goddess of love and beauty, Aphrodite.

-Very good indeed. So, Charles...

-Yes, sir.

Classical mythology.

Er...

-I shall play safe.

-OK.

-And go for Poseidon.

-You're going to go for Poseidon.

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

Down it goes. Very good answer, Charles!

Poseidon scores you 15.

-Richard?

-Absolutely right. He's the Greek god of the sea.

And star of The Poseidon Adventure.

OK, thanks very much, Richard.

-Elle?

-Hiya.

-Elle, hello.

There is at least one pointless answer. Remember, we are looking for Greek and Roman deities.

There's one on there I know, but I think it'll be the top answer.

So I think I'll risk it for a biscuit

and I think I'll go with Cronus.

Cronus. Let's see if Cronus is correct and how many people said it.

It's right!

Elle, I think this might go all the way down.

Very well done! A brilliant answer.

Cronus scores you one point! Richard?

Very well played, Elle. Cronus is a Greek god concerned with agriculture.

-Good. Now, Martin...

-LAUGHTER

-Is this a good subject for you?

-Not at all.

However...

Proximo, that rings a bell in some sort of gladiator movie to me.

So I'm going to take a calculated guess on Vulcan.

Very good. Very good indeed. Let's see if it's correct and how many people said Vulcan.

Well done, Martin.

Well done!

Extremely well done, Martin. Vulcan's a pointless answer.

It scores you nothing and adds £250 to today's jackpot, taking the total to £9,750.

Very well done. Vulcan, Richard.

Very well played. The Roman god of fire and the forge.

Apollo, a Greek god, would have scored 24.

Martin cleverly sidestepped Proximo. That's Oliver Reed in Gladiator.

So it was an incorrect answer. Now Aristides is actually Alex Reid. It's his middle name.

-LAUGHTER

-Who says we don't do highbrow on this show?

-So that was an incorrect answer.

-There we are. Let's take a look at the scores.

A fabulous low-scoring round. 21 from Kay. Who'd have thought that would be highest?

Charles and Peter, not terribly far behind on 15.

Then Elle, fantastic answer with Cronus.

Rick, keep that up and you'll be safe.

And Martin, a fabulous piece of reasoning and your reward is no points.

OK, can the second players take their place at the podium?

OK, we're going to put another seven answers on the board.

We want Greek and Roman deities. And we have got...

I'll just read those one more time: Hermes, Roussos, Zeus,

Persephone, Mars, Hades and Vesta.

At least one of those answers is pointless and there is also at least one incorrect answer.

Try to avoid those.

-Mark, Martin scored a pointless answer.

-He's started us off well, but put me under a bit of pressure.

-A little bit of pressure.

-A couple of them I think I know,

possibly, so I'm going to try and play safe

-and go with Hades.

-You're going to go with Hades.

-Do you know who Hades might be?

-Something to do with the underworld, death, possibly.

-Very good.

OK, well, if you can score 20 or less with Hades, you are definitely through.

There's your red line.

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

It's right.

Very well done, Mark. 14!

It scores you 14 and gives you a total of 14. You're comfortably through. Richard?

Well played, Mark. The Greek god of the underworld. South Wales police know it, but can't arrest him!

Rick, you are currently on one. If you can score 19 or less, you are definitely through

to the next round. What do you think?

OK, not one of my favourite categories, I must admit,

but I think after studying it a little longer,

I think I'm going to go with Vesta.

You're going to go with Vesta.

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

you are through to the next round. How many people said Vesta?

Very well done, Rick.

Down it goes.

You're through to the next round.

Fabulous low score, Rick. You've equalled Elle's low score.

-One takes your total to two. Richard?

-Very well played. The Roman goddess of the hearth.

In the Temple of Vesta in Rome, there was a perpetually-burning fire, attended by Vestal Virgins.

-Brilliant.

-It's just a fact. Not a joke, just a fact.

It's good. OK, thank you very much, Richard. Now then, Peter...

-Yes.

-You have your work cut out here. The high scorers remain Becky and Kay on 21.

If you can score 5 or less, you are through to the next round.

Remember we are looking for Greek and Roman deities.

At the risk of being beaten up by my brother in the car park...

-And that happens. He'll do that.

-..I'll hazard a guess at Hermes.

OK, you're going to go for Hermes.

There's your red line. Quite low.

But Hermes might get you below there.

It's right.

Down it comes. Becky and Kay watching very carefully.

13 that scores you. That takes your total up to 28.

That's a very good score. It's thrown a lifeline to Becky and Kay, though. Richard?

Well played, Peter. Good answer. Hermes is the messenger of the gods.

OK, we are looking for Greek and Roman deities. So, Becky,

you're on 21. Peter and Charles are on 28. All of these scores are fantastic.

If you can score 6 or less, you are going to go through.

Well, I know all bar one and the one I don't know is Roussos, so I'll say that's the false one.

And I'll say Persephone because she's definitely less known than Zeus or Mars.

You must score six or less. There's your red line.

Below that, you are through to the next round.

Let's see. Persephone.

It's right.

Very, very well done! That's a pointless answer.

It scores you nothing, it leaves your total at 21 and it adds £250 to today's jackpot,

taking us up to five figures - £10,000!

Very, very, very well done. It also sees you through to the next round. Richard?

Very well played, Becky. Persephone is the queen of the underworld.

Let's take a look through the rest. Becky took us through it perfectly.

Zeus, we know, is father of the gods. He would have scored 68.

Mars is the Roman god of war. He would have scored you 32.

And Roussos is incorrect. Demis Roussos is a Greek singer.

-A god to some.

-A god to some, yeah.

-LAUGHTER

Thank you very much, Richard. So the losing pair...

This is devastating news for all of us. Peter and Charles.

-Shot down in flames.

-What would you have liked to have come up?

-The history of Peter and Charles Butterworth would have been all right.

-That's Round Three!

That's in the head-to-head.

Anyway, you've been fantastic contestants. Thank you for playing.

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

There's only room for two pairs in the head-to-head, so one team leaves at the end of this round.

The category for Round Two is...

Film Awards. Becky and Kay are grinning.

Now can you all decide who is going to go first and who will go second?

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

OK, so the question concerns...

In this round, we have a list of films. We asked 100 people to tell us who won the Razzie Award

for Worst Actor or Actress for their performance in those films. Wow. Richard?

The Golden Raspberries or Razzies are like the anti-Oscars.

They "honour" the worst films, worst actors and so on.

We'll give you six films. You tell us which actor or actress won the Razzie for that film.

The more obscure the answer, the fewer points you score. An incorrect answer scores 100.

-See if you get all six at home.

-Wow. So who won the Razzie Award

for Worst Actor or Actress for their performance in these films?

Here is our list. It reads like this.

So then, Becky.

Erm, I do know all those films.

-You might be able to select a likely winner.

-Yes. I...

-Good.

I think... It might be a bit of a risk.

-I'm going to say Battlefield Earth and John Travolta.

-Very good indeed.

Let's see if that is correct and how many people knew that. Battlefield Earth, John Travolta.

Faultless piece of reasoning there, Becky.

Down it goes to six! What a fabulous score!

Very well done, Becky.

-Richard, Battlefield Earth.

-Yeah, very good answer.

It also won the Worst Picture as well. It then won Worst Film of the Decade

and has recently won Worst Film in the history of the Razzies.

-LAUGHTER

-If you haven't seen it, what more recommendation do you need?

Thank you, Richard. So, Elle...

I recognise a couple of the films and probably could think about who the actors were in it.

So I'm going to hope the 100 people were really young

and Rambo III might not have been on their first list and I'll go with Sylvester Stallone.

How many people said Rambo III, Sylvester Stallone? Is it correct?

It's right!

41.

A surprisingly high score, Elle, but it was right.

-That's all that really matters. Richard?

-Yeah, better than 100.

-Sylvester Stallone is the most nominated actor in Razzie history.

-LAUGHTER

He has been nominated 30 times.

-And he's won 10 times.

-Wow.

-He must be a very proud man.

OK, thank you very much, Elle. Now, Mark...

-Have you seen any of the remaining films?

-I've seen Big Daddy.

I'm surprised it won a Razzie because I quite enjoyed it.

I don't know how sad that makes me.

Catwoman, I haven't seen that. Or Basic Instinct 2.

So I think I'll have to plump with Big Daddy

and Adam Sandler.

Adam Sandler for Big Daddy. Is it correct? How many people said it?

It's right!

Still going down.

11!

Good answer, Mark. Adam Sandler. Richard?

Well played. He won the Razzie in 2000. Let's look at the other answers.

Basic Instinct 2 was, of course, Sharon Stone.

It would have scored 28 points.

Catwoman, from 2005, was Halle Berry.

And Showgirls was Elizabeth Berkley and would have scored 3 points.

-Very well done if you got all those.

-OK, let's look at the scores. We're halfway through.

Becky and Kay, what a fabulous low score there. Six points.

Then Mark and Martin, 11. Not bad.

Now, Rick, Elle scored 41. That wasn't a terrible answer.

It's probably what I'd have gone for, but you are the high scorers

by some margin. 30 points clear of your nearest rivals.

You'll have to find a low answer.

Can the second players take their places at the podium?

We're going to put six more films on the board and here they are.

I'll read those one more time.

We are looking for the actor or actress who won the Razzie Award

for Worst Actor or Actress for their performance in those films.

Martin, what sort of films do you like?

I do like action films.

There's a few up there I've seen and quite enjoyed, in fact.

There are a few up there I really liked.

It's between two and I'm going to go for GI Jane, Demi Moore.

GI Jane, Demi Moore. Well, you're on 11.

If you can score 29 or less, you'll be through to the next round. There's your red line.

Let's see if Demi Moore can get you below that red line.

Let's see if it's correct, GI Jane, Demi Moore, and if it is, how many people said it.

It's right.

Oh, it's good. It's got you through to the head-to-head.

29 that scores you, taking your total up to 40.

APPLAUSE

-Richard?

-Yeah, very well played. It's got you through safe and sound. GI Jane, it's a Ridley Scott film.

Thanks very much, Richard.

Now then, Rick, you are the high scorers.

You have to find a pointless answer, ideally,

to have any hope of making it through to the head-to-head.

What's that board looking like to you?

There's only one other film on there that I think I know the answer to.

And that's Armageddon.

And I think that was Bruce Willis.

Rick is saying Bruce Willis for Armageddon. Let's see if he's right

and if he is, let's see how many people said it.

You have no red line, obviously, because you are the high scorers.

It's right.

You want this to go as low as it possibly can.

15, that scores you.

It takes your total up to 56.

-Armageddon, Richard?

-Yeah, well played, Rick. I quite like Armageddon.

-Yeah.

But Bruce Willis... I think they recognised him for a number of other films.

I think he was due a Worst Actor Award.

-Very good. Thank you very much. Now then, Kay, the stage is set.

-Yes.

Remember, we are looking for Razzie Award Winners.

I believe that the film Stop Or My Mom Will Shoot was...

I think it was Sylvester Stallone and Estelle Getty,

so I guess it's going to have to be Sylvester Stallone.

I'm really sorry if we go out on that because I should be better at this.

That's not bad. If you can score 49 or less with this answer, you are through to the head-to-head.

Your red line is nice and high.

-Yeah, if it's right.

-If it's right, it should get you below that red line.

Stop Or My Mom Will Shoot, Sly Stallone.

Let's see how many people said it.

It's right.

And it gets you through to the head-to-head. Very well done, Kay. Very good indeed.

Bad luck, Rick and Elle. Very well done, Kay and Becky. That scores you 14, giving you a total of 20.

-Richard?

-Yes, Stallone again. Well played, Kay.

He said in 2010 Stop Or My Mom Will Shoot is the worst film he'd ever made.

-It's the worst film Sylvester Stallone has ever made. That is quite something.

-Wow!

Let's look at the other answers.

Under The Cherry Moon, who do you think won a Razzie for that?

-Is it that Prince film?

-Prince is exactly right.

That would've scored you 3 points.

Prince won three Razzies - Worst Actor, Worst Director and Worst Song.

That's a good night for Prince.

All About Steve, any ideas?

-No.

-That's 2010. It would have got you 1 point. It was won by Sandra Bullock.

-We did know that. She picked it up the day before she won her Oscar.

-An Oscar for The Blind Side, yeah.

I shouldn't imagine she's too worried.

-And The Blair Witch Project, the lead actress in that?

-I...

-It's a tough one.

-It's a pointless answer - Heather Donahue.

-Thanks very much, Richard.

At the end of Round 2, the losing pair with the highest score, I'm afraid, is Rick and Elle.

Oh, dear, the Razzies. Terrible films not your forte?

-No.

-No.

-Did you know the pointless answer, Rick? Heather Donahue? Come on(!)

-No, I'm afraid I didn't.

Well, a great shame to be saying goodbye to you so early on, but we will see you again next time

because everyone gets two shots at the Pointless final

when I hope you make it to the head-to-head and maybe further.

-Thanks very much for playing. Great contestants.

-Thank you. APPLAUSE

But for the remaining two pairs, things get even more exciting now as we enter the head-to-head.

Very well done, Becky and Kay, Mark and Martin, you've made it to the head-to-head.

Only one pair can make it to the final and play for today's jackpot

which currently stands at an unbelievable £10,000.

APPLAUSE

Now that's a jackpot! You'll go head-to-head on the best of three questions.

For each question, each pair needs to give me one answer,

but the great news is you are now allowed to confer.

You have to come up with an answer that scores less than your opposing pair's answer to win that point.

The pair who get the best of three will be playing for today's jackpot.

Let's play Pointless.

And here is your first question.

We gave 100 people 100 seconds

to name as many official languages of Switzerland as they could.

Official languages of Switzerland, Richard?

Yeah, we're looking for any of the four languages

recognised by the Swiss government as being officially spoken in that country

up to the start of January 2011.

Becky and Kay, because you've played best throughout the show so far, you go first.

We are looking for the official languages of Switzerland.

WHISPERING

-You're better on this than I am, so we'll go with that.

-OK, Becky?

-I think I'm going to say Italy, Italian.

-Italian?

-Yes.

-Right, Mark and Martin, Italian has gone.

We'll try a safe bet, hoping that they are wrong,

on...

English?

Safe bet...English?

LAUGHTER

OK...

We are going to go with Italian for Becky and Kay.

Let's see if that's correct and if it is, how many people said Italian.

It's correct.

34.

APPLAUSE

Mark and Martin have gone for English.

Let's see if it's correct and if it is, how many people said English.

Oh!

Bad luck. I'm afraid that is an incorrect answer.

So after one question, it is one-nil to Becky and Kay. Richard?

Yeah, unlucky, guys. The Swiss don't speak English. I don't think the Germans would let them.

There are four languages, three of which are fairly well known, and one obscure one which is Romansch.

It's various dialects that are spoken, mainly derived from Latin.

It would've scored you 9 points. There's Italian - 34,

German - 71, that's the most spoken in Switzerland, and French right at the top there - 76.

Here's your second question.

We gave 100 people 100 seconds

to name as many Monopoly stations as they could. Monopoly stations, Richard?

Quite simple, this one. Just any of the railway stations on a standard UK Monopoly board.

Right, well, Becky and Kay, you are up one-nil.

If you win this point, you are straight through to the final to play for that £10,000.

Mark and Martin, you answer first.

WHISPERING

-We're going to plump with Fenchurch Street.

-OK, Fenchurch Street.

-Becky and Kay, what do you reckon?

-Marylebone's our best one.

-I thought it would be more obvious than Liverpool Street.

-Liverpool Street?

-Yeah.

We'll go with Liverpool Street.

So, two streets, Fenchurch and Liverpool.

Mark and Martin went Fenchurch first. Let's see if that's right and if it is, how many people said it.

Very well done. It's correct.

34.

APPLAUSE

Becky and Kay, do you think that's a score you can beat?

-We wanted to go for Fenchurch.

-That's the best.

Liverpool Street - let's see if it's correct and if it is, how many people said it.

APPLAUSE

After our second question, it is now one-all. Very exciting. Richard?

-Well played, Mark and Martin, but Fenchurch Street wasn't the best answer.

-Oh, no.

-You'd be in the final now if you had gone for Marylebone.

-Oh, no!

Marylebone would have scored you 32 points, Fenchurch Street 34,

King's Cross 44 and Liverpool Street was the most popular answer of all on 47.

OK, here's your third question.

I need hardly remind you that whoever answers this question the best

will be through to the final and playing for £10,000. OK...

We gave 100 people 100 seconds

to name as many nicknames of The Spice Girls as they could.

-Richard?

-We're looking for the official nicknames of the five members of The Spice Girls.

Which of those is the most obscure?

Right, Becky and Kay, you get to go first. That could be a tactical advantage.

WHISPERING

OK, we're going to go with my instinct on this one.

Just because if we go with mine, obviously, I...

We're going to go with Sporty.

-You're going to go with Sporty?

-Yeah.

-Mark and Martin?

-At least we agree on one this time.

-I think Ginger Spice.

-You're going for Ginger Spice.

OK, we have Sporty, we have Ginger.

Who knows which way this is going to go? But whoever wins this goes through to the final.

Sporty was the first name given. Let's see how many people said Sporty Spice.

79.

They're all going to be high-scoring.

-Yeah.

-There are five of them. Everybody knows them.

Mark and Martin, you have gone for Ginger.

This for a place in the final and a chance to win that £10,000 jackpot.

Oh, it's done it. It's done it!

-APPLAUSE

-Wow, by six points!

Wow! After three questions, Mark and Martin have won so narrowly, two-one. Richard?

Very well played, guys. Let's take a look at all five of them. Those were the best two answers.

Ginger there with 73,

Sporty, 79, Scary, 83,

Baby, 85, and Posh with a very, very high score there of 94.

OK, so the losing pair at the end of our head-to-head round... I'm so sorry, Becky and Kay.

Such wonderful contestants. You've lit up the game both times you've played it.

I'm sorry we don't see you in the final. That was a good head-to-head.

-We listened to the wrong person's instinct on each question.

-I said Ginger, you said Marylebone.

-Yeah.

All the way through, you've played fantastically well.

-Thank you for playing. You've been lovely contestants.

-Thanks.

-APPLAUSE

-Good luck, guys.

But for Mark and Martin, it's now time for our Pointless final and the chance to win £10,000.

Congratulations, Mark and Martin. You've fought off the competition

-and you have won our coveted Pointless trophy. Very well done.

-Thank you.

Now you have a chance to win our Pointless jackpot which at the end of today's show stands at £10,000.

APPLAUSE

To win that money, you just have to find a pointless answer that none of our 100 people could think of.

We've had two pointless answers today. Martin, you got one of them.

All you have to do now, to go home with that £10,000, is to think of another pointless answer.

First, though, you've got to choose a category from these three options.

This is always the tough bit.

None of them are very good for me.

-Martin?

-Science - certain parts of science I'd be good at.

-World Politics... No.

-Go with whatever your gut feeling is.

-American...Actresses?

-American Actresses.

-Yeah.

-You're going to go for American Actresses.

Let's find out what the question is.

We gave 100 people 100 seconds

to name as many Cameron Diaz films as they could.

That's not as bad as it could be. Richard?

Any feature film made for cinema release for which Cameron Diaz received an acting credit,

including voice-overs. We're not accepting short films or TV films or things where she played herself.

There are 32 films on that list.

We're looking for films up to the start of January 2011.

You have a minute to come up with three answers.

All you need to win that £10,000 is for just one answer to be pointless. Your 60 seconds start now.

-She's in Shrek. She does the voice for the Shrek films.

-Good one.

-Obviously, Something About Mary. That's quite obvious.

-Yeah.

-A lot of people have seen that.

I'm struggling now.

-Was she in Charlie's Angels?

-Charlie's Angels.

And Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle, that was the second one.

Um...early ones. What early ones has she been in?

Gosh, I'm struggling.

What have we got? We've got Shrek, Shrek Forever After.

-Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle.

-Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle.

-Something About Mary is too obvious. It's going to be up there, isn't it?

-Yeah.

-Can you think of any others, Mark?

-To be honest, my mind's gone blank with Cameron Diaz.

-I think we might be struggling to get a pointless one here.

-Yeah.

-All the ones we've got are quite obvious.

-Five seconds.

-We'll go for those three, then.

-Full Throttle, Shrek Forever After...

-Yeah.

-What's the other Shrek one? Shrek.

-OK, that's your time up. We are looking for Cameron Diaz films.

I now need your three answers.

-Go, Mark.

-Um...

-Shrek Forever After.

-Shrek Forever After.

Shrek.

-I think it was just Shrek, wasn't it?

-Yeah, Shrek.

-Just Shrek.

-And Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle.

-Shrek Forever After, Shrek, and Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle.

-Of those three, which do you think is your best shot?

-I'm not confident about any of them, to be honest.

-I'll go with Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle best?

-OK, shall we put that last?

-Last.

-And maybe...?

-Shrek top.

-Shrek top. OK, so let's put them up on the board.

Here they are.

OK, so we were looking for Cameron Diaz films.

You said this was your least confident answer. You only need one to be pointless to win that £10,000.

Let's see how many people said your first answer, Shrek.

This will give us some indication of whether or not they are Cameron Diaz aficionados. Shrek...

It was a very popular film and it still hasn't stopped.

Down it goes, Shrek, into the 30s.

-Into the 20s, 28.

-APPLAUSE

I would take some confidence from that, actually. I think that's enormously reassuring.

-Only 28 people said Shrek?

-I thought it'd be more than that.

-I thought it'd be a lot more than that.

You only have two more chances to win that £10,000 jackpot. We are looking for Cameron Diaz films.

The first answer, Shrek, 28 people said that.

Let's hope that a great many fewer said your second answer which is Shrek Forever After.

This has to be pointless to win that jackpot. Let's see if it is. Shrek Forever After...

This for £10,000...

Well, it's looking good. Down it goes.

28 is what you scored for the original Shrek. Down it goes.

Oh, look...

2!

APPLAUSE

-Unbelievable.

-What about that?

-Almost.

-Almost! It's not quite pointless, but it's not far off.

You only have one more chance to win today's jackpot of £10,000.

We were looking for Cameron Diaz films. This is your last and most confident answer.

Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle. If this is pointless,

you will leave here, not only with your most coveted Pointless trophy, which is what you came here for,

you will also leave here £10,000 richer.

Let's put it to the test. This for the jackpot of £10,000. It has to be pointless.

Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle...

-Well, it's right.

-That's a good start.

-A very, very good start.

Down it comes.

Into the 30s, into the 20s,

into the teens...

-APPLAUSE

-Oh, no.

-Almost.

Oh!

Bad luck. Full Throttle, I'm afraid, didn't do it for you.

Unfortunately, you haven't found that pointless answer, so you don't leave with the jackpot of £10,000

which rolls over to the next show, but you have been fantastic and you do take home our Pointless trophy.

APPLAUSE

-So, Richard?

-Unlucky. Well played. Shrek was the most popular answer,

ahead of There's Something About Mary

and Knight And Day, but there were quite a few pointless answers.

I hope you don't recognise any of these.

Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas she was in with Johnny Depp, Feeling Minnesota, that was Keanu Reeves,

Head Above Water, well done if you got any of those.

There's a few more.

All pointless Cameron Diaz films - She's The One that she was in with Jennifer Aniston.

The Invisible Circus and Things You Can Tell Just By Looking At Her,

-which I'm assuming you've never heard of.

-No.

-I certainly haven't. Bad luck. You played really well.

We have to say goodbye to you, Mark and Martin. You've been amazing contestants.

Just one game you've been with us for, but thank you so much for playing.

APPLAUSE

Nobody has won our jackpot today, so it rolls over

which means on the next show, we'll be playing for a dizzying £11,000.

APPLAUSE

-Join us next time to see if someone can win it. Goodbye from Richard.

-Goodbye.

-And goodbye from me.
